Think about it.

Hey Guys, thanks for the fave's. Pokémon JKL, you continue to be my favorite fanfiction buddy. Those of you who have read my stories before, you already know that I don't go entirely by the episodes. I make it my own. So please enjoy. I will be summing up Selena's fight. Part of this story is Con POV. So sorry if the beginning isn't all that great.

The Decepticons have captured both Selena and Cliffjumper. Cliffjumper was understandable. But why did they take Selena? And how on earth did they come by a Uranium crystal? And more importantly, what do they plan to do now that the two are within their grasp?

(Decepticon POV)

Just as there were Autobots living on earth, there were Decepticons who were not far behind. A ship known as the Nemesis was the prize ship of the entire Decepticon fleet. Not only did it contain some of the most elite Decepticons, it also was the home of Megatron. The leader of the Cons and biggest Advocate for the destruction of the Autobots. Megatron had searched and wandered through the galaxy for many years, searching for energon and his eternal rival Optimus Prime. He had finally found his way to earth where Optimus and his team were sound to be living now that their home Cybertron was uninhabitable. Because of his ever growing pride, Megatron went to earth with plans on taking it from Optimus, as well as the Autobots life.

The Nemesis drifted over the state of Nevada. Not the most exciting part of their trip, seeing as how the Cons didn't have a taste for Vegas and show girls. But their scanners were picking up an energon source. And as an added bonus, an Autobot energy signature. Starscream, Megatron's second in command, believed that this energon would aide him in his quest to rule over the Decepticons. But so long as his lord and master was in charge, he would have to claim it for Megatron.

On the Bridge of the ship, Megatron was gazing out at the baron state. Though his scanners were guiding him to the energon source, he wanted to see it with his own eyes. "Lord Megatron," Starscream announced himself, "We're closing in on the energon." He reported. "And it would seem that the Autobot known as Cliffjumper is inbound as well."

"Excellent." Megatron purred with his usual bone chilling tone. "Kill an Autobot and take the energon. What a glorious way to begin my morning." He marveled.

"There's one more thing My Lord." Starscream added. "According to Soundwave, there is a human on their way towards the energon source as well."

"And why does this concern me?" Megatron asked impatiently.

"Because, My Lord, she's giving off an odd energy. Energy very similar to that of the extinct race of Magtora." Megatron spun on his feet and gawked at his second in command. "I do not jest My Lord. A Magneetian still lives. And it would appear that," he looked at his techpad, "She has been living on this planet for quite some time." A she? Megatron and the rest of the Decepticons were all too familiar about the Magneetians history. How they lived, how they were destroyed and who destroyed them. But just because the Decepticons didn't have a deep routed rivalry with them, did not mean that they didn't fear them in some ways. But that was not said for all of the Cons. "My Lord, if I may," Starscream bowed, "We should take precaution and eliminate the Magneetian." He suggested cautiously. By suggesting that they should Take precaution Megatron might take it as showing weakness to an adversary, and a decepticon should never under any circumstances show weakness. "Though there is only one left, it could prove to be a nuisance and possible threat to us in the near future."

"Or a possible Ally." Megatron smirked.

"My Lord?"

"Think about it Starscream. The last Magneetian alive is right under our feet." He stated proudly with a hint of victory. "Since the purge 30 years ago, this Magneetian must be burning with a fiery rage." He clenched a fist, showing his excitement. "A rage that I can use to my advantage."

"I see what you mean." Starscream concurred, tapping his chin. "That rage is directed at the Autobots, no less. And there happens to be an Autobot en route to the Magneetians location."

"Even more excellent news!" He cheered. "Then let's allow this little production to play out. And let us see how our Future Fleshy Con makes out."

"Then you are in luck My Lord." Starscream walked up to the bridges control panel. He stroked a few keys and brought up an image. It was of Cliffjumper and a purple haired female facing one another. "Hmm." Starscream hummed thoughtfully. "The Magneetian is a female."

"Indeed…" Megatron kept his eyes on the young girl. Doubts filled his mind as to whether or not the girl truly was a Magneetian. But his equipment was state-of-the-art. The likely hood of it getting energy signals mixed up was highly unlikely. And it wasn't because of her gender that Megatron doubted the girl. It was just her age. Sur Magneetians age at a different rate, but she looked far too young to be a real threat. "Oh?" Megatron leaned in. The girl started to rise from the ground. Chakbola's appeared in her hands. "Interesting choice of weapon."

"Agreed." Starscream gaped. "The Chakbola's are a difficult weapon to master. Then again she has had 30 years to master it."

"That she has Starscream. Let's see how well she uses them." They watched as the girl curled her fingers into a fist. Cliffjumper began to choke. The girl shoved him off of the cliff. "Hmm. This fight may end too quickly." Megatron complained. "Why not send in a few Decepticons to make things a little more interesting." Starscream nodded with a sinister grin. He tapped his com link on his head, sending a signal for a group of Cons to begin engaging the Autobot and Magneetian. Cliffjumper and the Magneetian fought long and hard. The Magneetian lost her weapons and plowed her way through Cons to get them back. Cliffjumper, the ever debonair fighter, kept his cool and kept fighting. "The Magneetian is showing great potential." Megatron commented. "Her rage, her grace, her ruthless behavior is exactly what I need. With her in my ranks, the Autobots will not stand a chance."

"If I may be so bold, Lord Megatron," Starscream spoke up with skepticism filling his voice, "How do you plan to control her? All she need do is point her hand, and then she'd probably make you bow to her."

"And you are right dear Starscream." Megatron agreed with humor. "However," he reached into a compartment in the panel, "If one were to say have one of these," he held up a lemon lime yellow stone, "Then they would almost be guaranteed complete dominance over a Magneetian."

"A Uranium Crystal." Starscream marveled. "The Achilles heel to all Magneetians." Starscream took it in his hand. He meandered over to one of the Con soldiers. He implanted it right into the soldier arm. Making sure it was in there securely. "Go down there and bring the Magneetian and Autobot to us. We'd like to have…a little chat with them."

"Yes commander Starscream." The Con bowed. He then took his leave.

"If I may be so bold, Lord Megatron," Starscream started with a kiss up's bow, "Where did you acquire such a rare find?"

"Something I picked up from an abandoned Autobot ship." He answered with a sinister grin. "You know how they just despised the Magneetians." He laughed sinisterly. "And I'm sure that our little magnetic fleshling here shares the same feelings."

"And…how do we know she won't feel the same way about us?" Starscream partially challenged.

"Because dear Starscream," Megatron put a large pointed finger under Starscreams chin, "We all share a common goal." He dragged the finger along Starscreams jaw, earning a discomforted shudder. "The destruction of the Autobots." He purred.

(No POV)

She had no idea where she was. The air was cold. It reeked of iron and used metal. The scent of oil and other vehicle liquids traveled through the air. The halls echoed and clanged as if she were walking on metal. She could still feel the hand holding her. With every step it took, Selena's body jerked and bobbed with the motion. She felt like a puppet being guided by invisible strings. And the grand puppeteer was the Uranium crystal lodged into the giant machines arm.

Her head throbbed and pounded achingly. Her body felt heavy as lead. Her arms were like lifeless noodles that only move when her body sways with another object. Her legs became a stiff of wooden boards. It was almost unbearable to breath. The breaths didn't come in smooth flows. It was broken up, shaky, and raspy. Selena felt like she was suffocating. Not just from the crystal, but her pride as well. How is this possible? She thought. How was I…so careless? I should have…figured at least…one of these…rust buckets had a crystal. She cursed herself. Of all the Autobots…I've encountered…of all of all of the…Autobots I've killed…for the last 30 years…none of them…ever had a crystal. Guess I let…my over confidence get…the better of me. She laughed. And now…this is where…my legacy, my race…ends. "Hm?" She heard doors open. A light flashed in her eyes. Nothing bright. But it was purple like a U.V light. Selena drooped her head back, trying to make out where she was. On top of being upside down, Selena's vision was blurry. All she could see was a white blur and a dark grey blur. Both blurs had two red spots on their…faces? So those must have been their eyes. Wait? Autobots don't have red eyes. She remembered.

"Thank you gentlemen." She heard a thundering, gravelly voice say. "Set them down so that we may all get acquainted." Them? Selena thought confusedly. Oh yeah! She was about to kill the Autobot Cliffjumper before she got ambushed. He must have been with her. She heard a large metallic thud hit the ground. Likely to be Cliffjumper. The Con was gentler with Selena. He set her down with care. Selena sat on her knees. The Con set her Chakbola's at her side. Selena could feel the floor vibrate as the other Cons took their leave. Once the door closed, Selena could feel her strength coming back. The uranium was out of range. She took her weapons in her hands and tapped a button in the center. They returned to their skull badge forms and she re-placed them back on her hat. She was going to wait and see what happened first before she decides to attack. As her vision cleared, she found herself in the presence of two large bots. Both of which had scarier expressions than an Autobot. But Selena kept up her unimpressed front. She wasn't about to let them know that she was impressed or frightened. These sure aren't Autobots. So what are they? "Please forgive my men," the large grey bot apologized with a bow, "Our hospitality isn't exactly what it used to be."

"Never knew you guys could BE hospitable." Cliffjumper commented cynically.

The white bot shot a clawed hand to Cliffjumpers neck, hoisting up from his knees. "I'd watch my tongue Autobot." He warned with a smooth grudging voice. "I just might rip it out." He slammed Cliffjumper back into the metal floor. Selena put a hand to her mouth and giggled. "Besides, my Lord was addressing the young lady." He gestured with his hand. Selena raised a snarky eyebrow. Are they serious? Chivalry never worked with her. Not with humans, and sure as hell not with robots. Even if the white one did have a sexy voice. "So do sit back and remain silent Cliffjumper!" Starscream commanded. "As for you my dear, may we enquire as to what you name is?" He asked formally.

"Selena Smith." She answered in monotone, rising to her feet and dusting herself off.

"I am Starscream – Second in command of the Decepticon forces. Behind me is the Decepticons Lord and Master, Megatron."

"Nice names." Selena remarked snidely. "And the titles really make your pride and overly inflated ego's show!" Megatron and Starscream were taken aback by her lack of respect. Cliffjumper tried to stifle a snicker. "So what are you guys? The dark half of Autobots?"

"In a matter of speaking." The one known as Megatron admitted. "Like the Autobots, we lived on the planet Cybertron. War was waged for eons, until our planet became uninhabitable." Megatron locked his eyes on Selena, as if waiting for her to react. "But that's not nearly as bad as the fate that befell your planet." Selena bit her lip. "Our planet can be fixed. But yours-"

"I'm well aware of what happened to my planet!" Selena spat. "Little do people know – I had a front row seat." She narrowed her eyes. The red beginning to glow with rage. "And thirty years isn't long enough to erase the scar."

"Which makes me beg the question," Starscream spoke up, "How long have you been living on this planet?"

"Let's see…" she tapped her chin thoughtfully. "I traveled to cosmos for about 15 years…I've been here for 15 years. Switching states and continents every chance I got of course." She shrugged. "People on earth find it odd when you don't seem to age much after two or three years. Except in Jasper, Nevada no one seems to care. "

"Yes," Starscream hummed, "The humans appearances belie their real age."

"But enough about Age," Megatron demanded, "Time to explain why it is that we brought you and this Autobot filth onto our ship." Selena and Cliffjumper exchanged glances. Cliffjumper tried to smile at her, showing that he meant no harm. But Selena's death bound glare made him cower down. "You and I have a common enemy, Selena. Like you, I too see the Autobots as a plague and wish to see them eradicated. Though my hatred for them may pale in comparison to yours," he said trying to butter her up, "I was hoping you would consider joining us." Selena crossed her arms and cocked a skeptical eye. "Think about it. Not only would you be able to exact your revenge on the Autobots, but you would also be able to rule the galaxy alongside me as my adviser. You would be able to rule over all and execute those who stand in your way." Selena already didn't like the offer. True she wanted to see the Autobots destroyed. But ruling over everyone in the universe wasn't on her list of interests. And the way Megatron was talking about it, she was going to be like his pet that he lets on and off the leash at his choosing. She wasn't anybody's pet or weapon. She was her own. Then there was his second in command, Starscream. He was perturbed at the thought of a fleshling replacing him. But something else was bothering him. He didn't seem to fancy his Lord all too much. And that bothered Selena. Bothered…and intrigued. "So Selena," Megatron continued, "What do you say?"

"Thanks but no thanks!" She snapped. Megatron stepped back, insulted that she refused him. Starscream smiled. "I'm nobody's puppet. And, quite frankly, ruling the galaxy doesn't sound the least bit interesting to me. And…" She smiled over to Cliffjumper. "As jester of good will, I'll leave the Autobot to you." She walked over to one of the windows. "I'm sure you'll think of something to do with him."

"So am I to take that as you refuse my offer?" Megatron asked. His pride obviously marred by her refusal.

"Take it however you wish." She shrugged with a smug smile. "Just make sure it's taken as, I don't serve anyone I don't like!" Selena raised a hand. The magnetism vibrated the bars holding the glass up. The vibrations shattered the glass. Selena turned around to Megatron and said, "Thanks for the hospitality Megs. Starscream, a pleasure."

"A pleasure indeed." Starscream smiled.

Selena returned the smile and fell backwards. She let the wind carry her a little bit of the way. Then she took flight and headed back for the city. Megatron slammed his fist down onto the control panel. "WHY DID YOU NOT STOP HER?" He roared. "Why did you allow her to insult me in such a manner?"

"Because, Lord Megatron, in case you haven't realized, she is a very proud and picky person." Starscream explained. Trying not to chuckle at Megatrons flustered expression. "I believe she will come around if we gave her time and took a different approach."

"I'm not one for negotiating with rebellious fleshlings." Megatron spat childishly. "I'll go and try to convince her once again. I'll see if she truly is worth the extra effort I'm putting in. You are in command during my absence." He sneered over to Cliffjumper. "Take care of the Autobot as well."

"Yes Lord Megatron." Starscream bowed. Megatron exited form the bridge. Starscream admired his razor sharp fingers. "It's been fun having you around Cliffjumper." He stabbed his hand into Cliffjumpers spark chamber. "But I'm afraid you've overstayed your welcome." Cliffjumper went off line, collapsing on the ground. Starscream let out a long held chuckle. He stopped to admire the girl he'd just spoke with. "Selena Smith. That girl could be very useful to me. And judging by how she spoke to Megatron, she has already formed a great disdain for him. And if he tries to force her to join…" His thoughts were interrupted when Soundwave entered the room. "What is it Soundwave?"

"Like Jasper Nevada's a party." He played back a voice.

"The one known as Arcee." Starscream hummed humorously. "Why just eliminate one Autobot, when we have the element of surprise? Send out the twins to take care of her." Soundwave nodded wordlessly. "And one more thing, I may leave to take a quick flight. Keep an ear out for any other Autobots." Soundwave nodded once again and left Starscream to his thoughts. "Selena…" He purred, "You live in Jasper, Nevada."

(_==_)

Luckily for Selena, the Cons ship didn't move too far from Jasper. In fact, they barely moved a mile away. She pulled off a landing by the K.O burger place. Towards the outskirts were loonies and hobos. So she didn't care if they saw her. The only bad part is that a lot of people like K.O Burger. So she always had to make sure that she was careful. Thankfully it was a slow afternoon. "So that's an order of we're not as funny as we think we are with a side of BITE ME!" She heard someone snarl. Selena peered around the corner. She saw a sour looking boy at the window. He set the order at the window and a car drove up. The people snatched the food and drove off laughing. "HEY I HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE!" Selena extended a hand before they got too far. The car stopped. The driver put on the gas, creating skid marks. Selena moved the car back to the drive through. The driver was frantic, not understanding how his car was going back to the drive through.

"WHAT THE HELL MAN!" He panicked. His girlfriend in the next seat was panicking as well. "Huh?" He saw Selena at the window.

"Hi!" She smiled nonchalantly. Then she reached in and grabbed the two bags of food. "You didn't pay for these, and now I'm repossessing them." She advertised with a sarcastic smile. "Thank you for coming to K.O. burger and don't come back!" She waved to them. Thanks to the man having his foot still on the gas, the moment Selena let go the car it sped out and into the building across the way. People gasped and ran over to see what happened. Selena ignored them and went to the window.

"Are they going to be okay?" the K.O. burger employee asked.

"I'm sure they'll be fine." Selena shrugged. "Karma only injures. Never kills." She smiled. The kid smiled back. "Speaking of what comes around – how much was this food?"

"5.59."

Selena took out her wallet and handed him the money. "There's that and…" she took out ten dollars. "It's not much, but I figured you deserved at least some kind of tip."

"NO-NO!" He gasped. "Thanks a lot! Really!" Selena smiled at his excitement. He cleared his throat. "I'm Jackson Darby. Everyone calls me Jack."

"I'm Selena Smith." She held out a hand. "Nice to meet you Jack. Haven't I seen you around?"

"Yeah. We go to the same school."

"Oh yeah! That's right! I'm so sorry. I'm so busy avoiding this Jerk named Brad that I don't notice anyone else."

"It's okay. And thanks for the food and tip. Not sure how you did that…" He pointed to the wrecked car. The two people inside was sitting on the curb, scared out of their minds. "But thanks."

"No prob. Hm?" Selena glanced behind and looked into the small parking lot. Someone was watching her. But the only thing behind her was a small parking lot with a motorcycle in it. "That was…weird."

"Something wrong?" Jack asked, taking off his apron and hat.

"No really. I just had a run in with some odd characters. I thought they followed me."

"I hate that feeling." Jack jumped out of the window. "Whoa!" He said looking at the motorcycle. "This is a nice bike."

"Then I'll let you marvel at it." Selena giggled. "Nice meeting you Jack."

"You too."

Selena continued on her way back home. She reached into one of the bags and started to eat the burger inside. She glanced back to see Jack sit on the motorcycle. She shook her head. "Humans and their fancy for new vehicles," she snickered derisively, "Such easily impressed creatures they are." Then again she had a motorcycle she admired. So she really didn't have too much room to talk.

Selena stopped at a bus stop and continued to eat the food. She never knew how good K.O. burgers food was. She especially loved the fries. Her enjoyable meal was disrupted when she heard a series of screeching tires. She twisted back and saw Jack on the motorcycle speeding away with two purple cars chasing after him. "What the…what?" She heard something hovering above her. It was a large jet. It seemed focused on the two cars, but then turned to Selena. She took steps back, wondering if she should run or not. The cannon on the top started to charge. "Time to run!" She cried. The cannon fired. Selena back flipped out of the way. Her food was incinerated. "HEY! I JUST PAID FOR THAT!" The jet fired its cannon again. Selena somersaulted and dashed out of the way. She eventually took off down an alleyway. The Jet followed after her. This must belong to that Decepticon Mega-what's it. She deduced. Probably still mad because I turned down his offer. "WELL!" She pulled a 180 spin. "TIME TO MAKE IT SINK IN!" She raised her hands. The garbage trashcans, dumpsters, and miscellaneous metal objects all rose into the air. "EATS THIS!" She sent them flying at the jet. It shot down the dumpster, exploding the trash onto its hood. The other objects hit its body, scratching it slightly, but not enough to keep it down. But Selena used the trash covering its front windshield to her advantage. She pushed off from the ground and took to the skies. "First I lose my bike. Then I get kidnapped. And now I'm being chased?" She complained exasperatedly. "That tears it! This side of the galaxy blows! AHH!" A beam fired past her. The jet was coming for her again. The trash was gone from its hood. "Okay Decepticon! Let's see what you've got!" She took off rapidly through the sky. The jet continuously fired its cannon. Selena managed to barrel and doge out of the way, but each shot got closer. She took off he badges and pressed the center. Her chakrams appeared without the chain and she went in to attack. Dodging and evading the shots, Selena drew closer to the jet. The minute the jet fired another round, Selena darted straight up. She curved over and launched her chakrams. She put a little spin on them. The Chakrams grazed and got stuck within the jets armor. Selena landed on the jet, using her chakrams to keep hold and not slip. "Alright! Let's see how tough your armor really is!" Selena placed her hands onto the jet. She sent multiple magnetic waves through the jet. It started to jerk and jitter violently. It tried to shake Selena off, but she was hanging on. The magnetic waves were messing up the jets flight pattern. It couldn't fly straight. Wanting to avoid landing in crowded areas, Selena tried her best to guide the Con somewhere secluded. It was a lot heavier than it looked. But Selena managed to guide it over to an abandoned warehouse base just outside Jasper. The warehouse base is a series of many warehouses built for storing anything from food to weapons. It was abandoned 10 years ago because the whole base was built over active gas lines. The entire base, if struck in the wrong place, could erupt into flames.

Selena and the jet crashed inside. Selena gripped her chakrams, kicked off the jet and landed in the center of the room. The jet skidded into the wall, going into park. Selena panted heavily. Flipping her hair out of her face, Selena approached the jet with caution. "Alright Decepti-freak," she shouted challengingly, "Are you going to go into your bot form and give me a real challenge?" She hovered the chakrams over her middle finger and made them spin. "Or am I going to have to rip you apart?" The Con did as she demanded. It went into its robot form, revealing it to be Megatron. "So it is you!" She spat.

"Hm-hm-hm, you don't seem too surprised." He chuckled.

"I figured you weren't the type to let someone tell you no. It would appear that I was right." She glared.

"And it would appear that you can handle yourself in the air." He remarked, stroking his chin with impression. "But now the question is," he brought out his blaster and sword, "Can you handle me now that I'm in my true form?"

"I've battled many Autobots and killed just as many." She rose from the ground, getting ready to charge. "Adding a Decepticon – particularly you Megatron – would make me the most feared being in the galaxy."

"I thought you had no interest in ruling the galaxy." He remarked snidely.

"I don't. But being feared," She raised her Chakrams, "Now that's something else entirely!" Selena charged for the Con. Megatron shot at her rapidly. Selena ducked and dodged. She reached Megatron and slashed for his face. Megatron brought up his sword, blocking her. Selena was able to use her magnetism to try and counteract his strength. But thanks to his size and mechanical muscle, her power was going to be exhausted if she didn't take a different approach. Selena pushed off the sword. She brought her hands out in front of her and shoved Megatron into the wall. He kept his feet planted firmly to the ground. He barely moved back two feet. Selena flew out through the newly made skylight. Over in the distance was a police unit and a couple of helicopters heading their way. Selena needed to finish this fight now. "Wait…" she whispered. She analyzed the area. The base was in an open area. If it were to ignite, not only would take Megatron with it, but she could escape through the smoke. Forever disappearing. "But where do I strike at? WHOA!" One of Megatrons beams barely missed her. Selena stuck her tongue out at him and flew for the next house. Megatron charged through the building, going after her. Selena flew close to the ground, trying to give Megatron something to follow, and praying that she could locate any leaking gas. Megatron, not caring if he destroyed the property, burst through every warehouse in his way. And he was getting dangerously close. "Gas doesn't have a scent, so how do I locate it?" She asked herself. The base may have been built over a gas line, but there was a focal point where she could light up the whole base like a Disneyland firework show. And it was located in one of the warehouses. "Time to make Megatron work for me!" She declared. She pulled a swift 180 and charged for Megatron. She ascended to his face. Megatron raised his sword. Selena used her hand and pulled herself around. Building energy at her foot, she kicked Megatron in the face, making him stumble back. She combined the kick with a quick slash of her chakrams. Megatron caught them in her arm. He countered with his blaster. Selena dove down. His shot hit a distant warehouse. Nothing else happened. Not that one! She magnetically pulled the chakrams from his arm. She sent them flying for his face again. Megatron swatted them away with his sword, then fired his gun twice. Selena dodged them both, and let them hit two more warehouses. Not those either! She grumbled. Megatron came for her again. Selena didn't have time to call her weapons back to her. She brought up her hands, summoned all her power, and caught the sword. She was pushed down to the ground. Her magnetism ruptured the floor. Megatron applied barely even half his strength. Selena was pushed down to her knee. She felt as if her body would snap from the pressure at any moment. I can't believe how strong he is! She thought. I might actually lose. Her powers were starting to let up. The sword was nearing her skin. I'm…going to…to…NO! She couldn't lose. Not to someone like Megatron. Someone who prides himself on being the most powerful machine to ever live. Selena was and is a Magneetian. Machines were puppets and she was the grand puppeteer. She was not going to have her reputation tarnished by an over grown scarp pile. "GRAAAH!" She roared, managing to push the sword up. "GET…OFF…OF…ME!" She pushed up, bringing the sword two feet above her. She immediately shot her hands out, and took hold of Megatrons feet. "HA!" She pulled her hands in and up, bringing Megatrons feet from under him. He fell onto his back. Selena panted, wiping the sweat from her face. She collapsed onto her knees. It may have been far from over, but she was tired.

"It's not wise to lower your guard in front of me, fleshling!" Megatron chortled, sitting up on his butt. "Female or not, I will not show mercy. Well, I might. That is, if you agree to work for me and become my second in command."

"Don't you already have a second in command?" She snarled. "You know? Tall, white and red paint, evil smile…"

"Oh yes." Megatron crooned. "You must mean Starscream." He said with false surprise. "Yes, he is my second in command. But he's long overdue for retirement."

"How long overdue?"

"How long have we been fighting? And how long ago did I meet you?" Megatron asked as if nothing was wrong.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Selena roared. "In the last 30 minutes you've decided to replace Starscream? After he's probably served you for god knows how many years?"

"Whenever something new and powerful comes along I take it." He stated firmly. "Doesn't matter who I have to replace!" Selena clenched a fist, biting her lip. "Allies of many years, family – it matters not to me. All that matters is power. And that's exactly what you have."

"Then you'll just replace me once someone more powerful comes along!" She stated harshly. Megatron shrugged his shoulders with a sinister grin. "Once again: Thanks, but no thanks! I'm no one's tool, pet, puppet, or lackey! I don't give a space rat's ass who you are!"

Megatron let out a sigh. "So I take it that means you refuse once again?" Selena remained silent. "Very well then." Megatron rose to his feet. He aimed his cannon. "Then this is the end of the Magneetian race." He eulogized. He charged the cannon. Selena placed her hands on the ground. Megatron fired. Selena force pushed herself back, narrowly dodging the blast again. She rolled into another warehouse wall, and sat there. Megatron fired once more. Selena summoned her remaining strength and took off flying. Megatrons blast hit the warehouse and a large explosion erupted. THAT'S IT! Selena cheered in her mind. The chakrams an inch away from her, Selena grabbed them and flew for the sky. "WHAT IN THE-" Megatron glared at the smirking girl. Selena could see the approaching helicopter. Using the explosion as a cover, Selena flew close to the ground and out of sight. Leaving Megatron to his explosive fate. Or not. He went into vehicle mode and flew off. Not wanting to be bothered with the human choppers, Megatron took to the clouds above, vanishing from sight.

As the sun finally set, darkening the sky and the land,Selena flew as fast as she could and as far as she could. Fearing that it was too soon to go back into town, Selena stuck to the outskirts of Jasper. She saw Megatron fleeing the scene, dampening her spirits. "Now he's definitely going to come after me." Selena found dunes where she could rest. They gave her a good over view of Jasper. She would rest there and then head home. "Damn that Decepticon!" She spat, panting heavily. "If I would have known he was that powerful…I would have led him to the power plant! God I hate machines!"

"Oh…" She heard a voice pout, "Surely we machines are not all the bad." Selena looked to the side. Glowing in the moonlight was Megatrons second in command Starscream. And he was wearing a mischievous smile. "So nice to see you again, Dear Selena." He bowed.

Selena jumped to her feet and summoned one of her chakrams. "BACK UP OR I'LL CARVE DEATH IN YOUR CHEST PLATE! OW!" She held her side. There was a painful stitch in her side. Result of her fight with Megatron.

"Calm yourself, Selena." Starscream urged her, kneeling down. "I did not come here to fight." He assured her with a smile. "Moreover I came to talk to you about your fight with Megatron."

"YOU WERE WATCHING?"

"Indeed I was. And I must say, for someone as young as you, you handled yourself quite nicely."

"Thanks for the compliment!" She remarked sarcastically. "But my answer to Megatron is still no!"

"What makes you think I'm here on Megatrons behalf?" He quizzed. Selena relaxed slightly. Starscream grinned and continued. "That's right. I'm here of my own free will. So I'm not here to harm you."

"So, what do you want?" She asked cautiously.

"I'm sure you realized that Megatron isn't as much of a pushover as the Autobots." Selena rubbed her arms. Still feeling the strain she was put under. "And I'm also sure you've surmised that he does not take no for an answer. He's likely to try again the next day."

"Will you get to the point, please?" She demanded impatiently.

"Very well. I myself do not hold Megatron is such high regard as others do. In fact, more than anything, I would enjoy seeing him be turned into scrap metal. I'm sure you feel the same way. After all, you did just tell him no twice and he tried to kill you. Which brings me to my little proposition."

"I'm listening." Rachael raised an eye brow.

"I won't expect you to answer right now," He started off first hand, "But I would like for you to join the Decepticons under the guise of Megatrons newly appointment ally."

"When I'll really be yours?" She assumed.

"Precisely." He purred. "And when the opportunity presents itself, you and I will end Megatron. What you do after that – leave or stay – will be entirely your decision." Selena tapped her chin thoughtfully. It sounded like a good offer. She didn't have to be with them long. She only needed to pretend to be Megatrons new pet just long enough to get a chance to kill him. Then she could leave if she wanted to. "Like I said, you will not have to choose now." He reminded her. He tossed her a small device. It had a red button. "Just press this when you've come to a decision. I shall convince Megatron to stay away while you do." Starscream turned, transformed into a jet and took off, leaving Selena with her choices. If she joined the Cons, not only would she be able to kill Megatron, but she would also be able to use their tech to locate and destroy Autobots. And as Starscream said, she didn't have to stay. Which meant that she didn't have to befriend them. Once Megatron is out of the way, she could destroy them as well. There was just one problem. Her Magneetian code forbids her from harming those who haven't done her and personal harm. And those that aid you, you should repay them. If she agreed, would she be indebted to Starscream? Or worse. Would she have to become his puppet?

That's another chapter done. See you guys next time.
