Chapter 2

It took the penguins several minutes to realize what had happened until Skipper turned to Rico.

"Rico! I need something to strap it down!" He ordered.

Rico nodded and yacked up several rolls of duct tape. Skipper grabbed them and used them to strap the robots upper body to the wall and its legs to the floor. He then turned to Kowalski. "Kowalski, options!"

Kowalski shifted slightly. "I don't know! I have no idea where it came from! My best suggestion is wait until it come out of sleep-mode and interrogate it."

Skipper nodded and turned to Rico. "We need something for the interrogation…"

Rico babbled something and yacked up several sticks of dynamite. "Boom?" he asked.

"Not yet. We need…" A small groan interrupted him. All four penguins turned to see the robot powering up. Its eyes-would they be considered eyes?- opened and looked at the four penguins in front of it.

"Primus. I must be losing my processor…" it muttered.

"Who are you?" Skipper asked. "How did you get in our base? Are you working for Blowhole?"

"W… What?" It looked at him bewildered. "You can speak? I'm where? Who in Primus's name is Blowhole?"

"Excuse me… What is Primus?" Private asked sheepishly.

Before Skipper could yell at him, the robot answered. "He is the creator of my race. Now can I have my questions answered? And who are you?"

Rico muttered something angrily. "Boom?" he asked again.

Skipper shook his head before turning to the robot. "Answer my questions first." He demanded.

The robot seemed to sigh. "I am Sky's Limit… Sky for short. I come from the city Heion on planet-"

"You're from another planet?" Kowalski asked excitedly.

Sky looked at the penguin and it tilted its head. "Yes. Our home planet Cybertron was destroyed by war. The Autobots fled and the Decepticons followed us. We came here to Earth searching for something that is now destroyed and is none of your concern. I was working in the medical bay when I was surrounded by light and fell unconscious. I awoke here…" The robot lowered its gaze to see that it was trapped. "Strapped to the wall and floor with duct tape."

"What are the Autobots and Decepticons?" Private asked.

"Autobots-like me- are a group of Cybertronians that fight for peace and defend this planet from the Decepticons. The Decepticon leader is Megatron and he wishes to destroy Earth and its inhabitants." Sky answered before gazing back to the duct tape strapping her body to the wall. "May I please get out of this? I pose no threat to you."

Skipper thought for a while and nodded. "Very well. But I will keep an eye on you." He turned to Rico. "Rico…"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard light footsteps behind him. He turned to see Kowalski and Private looking at Sky with wide eyes. Skipper looked at Sky to find her peeling duct tape off her armor. "What the?..."

Sky smiled. "Do you really think I go into war with no weapons?" She unsheathed two blades in the sides of her arms.

Skipper glared at her. "Any other weapons we should know about?"

Sky nodded and sheathed the blades before tuning one hand to a sword and the other turned into a gun. "You don't have to worry. Autobots fight to defend life… And I am a medical officer so I rarely go into battle."

Skipper looked at her confused. "Battle? And you mentioned a war…"

Sky sighed again. "Take a seat. It's a long story…
