And there comes chapter three!

Thought you might like to have some more stuff to read after the long wait, so I wrote on :)

Thanks to anunexpectedjourney four your review! I will continue :)

"This way."

Jack looked at me. "Are you sure? Agent Fowler said..."

"And since when do I listen to anybody? Now come on!"

"Jane, I really don't like your new self."

"Is that so? Then turn around and follow your own way."

"But..."

"Or you just skip that and trust me like you used to do!"

"Both of you, quiet! This is not the time to argue!" Alley hissed.

"She is right, it's not. Stop!"

"What is it?" The others stopped behind me.

"Laser. We will start the alarm when we walk through them."

"Where do you see laser?" Alley asked.

"Don't tell me you can't see them! Okay, then I go through and shut them down so you don't have to worry where you step."

"Don't start the alarm."

"I won't."

I took a few seconds, but then I jumped, rolled, sledded, flipped and spin through the room. The touchpad at the wall turned from red to green as I touched it.

"Okay, hurry up!" I called.

Half way through, Alley and Myra got caught in a web.

"What is going on?!" Miko and Raf stood behind Jack.

"Oh, it's pretty easy." I smiled.

"Jane, what did you do?" Jack pulled at the web holding Alley.

"Oh, it was not her."

"Airachnid!? But how... Why?!"

The spider laughed and instead of giving an answer, she caught the three kids in her spiderwebs.

Jack heard someone calling his name.

"Jack! Oh, Jack, please wake up!"

As he opened his eyes, he suddenly moved away from me with a jerk. Then he saw Miko and Jack lying next to him.

"Stay away from us, I warn you!"

"What... What is wrong with you!?"

"Me?! What is wrong with you?!"

"I... I don't understand..!"

"You brought us here, just to trick us!"

"What? No, no I didn't, I..."

"Jane, you said we would find Cathy, I mean Shifter here! And then we come and are knocked out by Airachnid!"

"No! I did not lead you here! I did not lead you into a trap, I..."

Someone clapped.

"I can't figure out what is going on. Weren't you about to say that?"

Jack starred at me. And I starred at me.

"There are two of you?!" He shrieked.

"Of course there are not. Don't be a fool, Jack. My name ..." The second version of me transformed into a blond haired, dark dressed girl with light green eyes. "... is Cathy Walker."

"You... You lead us here?! Why?"

Cathy turned away from him.

"Seriously, Jane... I really don't understand how you can have feelings for such a stupid boy."

"You don't dare to call him stupid! What is it that you want from them?"

"Now I understand why you two fit together that perfectly."

"What do you want?" I got angry.

"You can have a think about it. I will go."

"Go? Where?"

Cathy smiled and transformed into Jack.

"Someone has to tell your pathetic friends that the great Cathy Walker has won." She said in Jack's voice. "Shockwave, they are all yours, as promised. Just do me a favour and finish them, will you?"

With that, Cathy-Jack walked off.

"Jane, you have to get us out of here!" Jack panicked. "When she gets to Mom...!"

In that moment, Miko and Raf woke up.

"I can't."

"What happened, where are we? Jack, what... Jane?"

Miko was totally confused.

"It was Cathy who lead us into this trap, not Jane. And now Cathy, tarned as me, is on her was to tell everyone that she has won and we are here, stuck in this cell, with at least Shockwave and Airachnid around."

"Skip that, we have got bigger problems."

"Which?"

"Them!"

Miko pointed at Soundwave and Shockwave.

"Come on, they must be kidding..." I moaned.

"Your resistance is highly unlogic." Shockwave said.

"What are you waiting for? They are defenceless without the power of the stars." Knockout came into the room.

"Seems like every escaped Decepticon is back on earth!" Jack hissed.

"Don't you think I already know that? I am here since three days now!"

"Jane, what can we do?" Miko whispered.

"Nothing, I fear. Without our powers, ..."

"Without your powers, you two are just like Raf and me. You may not be able to shoot them, but you can trick them." Jack said.

"He is right." Miko nodded at me.

"Okay, stay close, I have got an idea."

We stood together, facing the Cons.

But in the end, we had nothing to bring against them.

Knockout and Soundwave grabbed Miko, Jack and Raf.

I couldn't escape Shockwave's hand.

He nearly squeezed me, then he smashed me into a wall.

"Jane!" I heard my friends screaming in fear, but I lay on the ground, heavily breathing and could not stand up.

"Now see how your friends fall, one by one."

I didn't want Shockwave to hurt them, but I was not strong enough. Without my powers, I was just a weak girl.

No, I am not weak. I am a Star, I was chosen for a reason. I am alive, though the prophecy had another ending... The Prophecy...

I pushed myself up, but I was too late. I saw the show, how it hit Alley.

"Nooooo!"

And it took me only a nanosecond to be back in full mode.

"I warned you not to hut my friends!"

Shockwave didn't knew what hit him.

Within a minute, I had them all down.

"Alley! Alley, please, say something!"

"Jane... I... I can't..."

"Stay with me, Al'! Don't pass out!"

I turned to Myra and with a blast, she was free.

"Myra, we have to get her back to base!"

"Jane, can we help?"

I stopped for a second and looked at Jack.

"Just stay out of Myra's way and contact Cybertron. We need Ratchet. And the rest of the team, too. Come on, we have to go!"

I opened a Groundbridge and was the first one to ran through it.

June and Agent Fowler were at the Autobot base, talking to Jack, or who they thought to be Jack, when the bridge opened up.

I did not say a word when I came through. Grabbing Cathy-Jack at the shirt, throwing her over the railing. She held on to me and we both smashed into the ground.

"Jack!" June cried. "Jane, what are you doing?!"

"Mom, no! That's not me! Stay away from them!" The real Jack called as he ran out of the bridge, right to the console. "Autobot base calling Cybertron, does anybody read me?"

Rushing, then a well-known voice sounded.

"This is Optimus Prime. Hello, Jack."

"Optimus, it is good to hear your voice. Listen, we need you here! All of you, immediately!"

"Jack, what is your situation?"

"It is Cathy, I mean Shifter! And Soundwave, Shockwave, Knockout, all of them! They are here and they are after Jane!"

"Calm down, Jack. We will come as quickly as..."

"No, Optimus, you don't understand! Alley is hurt, badly hurt! And Cathy is here, in our base, at this moment and she is beating the scrap out of Jane! Please, you..."

"Jack, we are coming."

The boy was surprised to hear Arcee's voice, but he was glad that she would come.

"Your friends won't be able to help you, Jane."

Cathy was herself again, leaving June and Agent Fowler surprised and in shock.

"You will never bring me down, you are no Decepticon. You are no Megatron. And I am not afraid any more."

"A foolish mistake. I am Shifter. I am whoever I want to be."

"No, you may can change your appearance, but inside, you are still Cathy."

"I am not a human."

"Then look into a mirror and tell me what you see."

And the girl looked down at her, at her fleshy hands, the cloths she was wearing, at her hair. She sank to the ground.

"No, no. I am not human. I am Cybertronian. I am Cybertronian!"

I stepped back.

"Jane, what is happening?!" June screamed.

"I just made a terrible mistake! Everyone, get out of here!"

But I was too late. The black Decepticon stood in front of me, huge and with glowing red eyes.

"I am Shifter!"

"Bulkhead, look... I am sorry."

"It was not your fault, Jack."

"We shouldn't have left her behind."

"No, it was us. We shouldn't have left earth. Not without making sure that you are safe."

"You couldn't have known that they would find a way back here."

"But we knew about Shifter. And now, Jane is gone... and I wasn't able to help her... again..."

Ratchet came out of Alley's room.

We turned to him.

"She will survive, but I can't tell when she will wake up."

"Thank the Allspark." Arcee sighted.

"One less to worry about. She was really lucky."

"I have to apologise to all of you. Thinking that the Decepticons would leave earth alone, was foolish. I hope no one got harmed?" Optimus said to the humans.

"No, Optimus. You could not have known. The kids are fine and as soon as Alley finds her strength back, Team Prime will be on the run again." June answered him.

That totally freaked Jack out.

"Yeah, we are all fine and Alley will recover, but that Jane is gone doesn't seem to bother any of you!"

"She had no chance against Cathy and now that Shifter is back... What if she already has killed her?" Raf shivered.

"No, she is alive." Miko knew that she would have to explain that. "Oh man... I really shouldn't comment everything."

"Miko, what do you know?" Asked Bulkhead in his you-are-in-serious-trouble voice.

"Well... Something happened... It was a few nights ago." She started and directly was interrupted by Jack.

"Was it about her nightmare? She told me she had dreamed about that day."

"Haha! You believed that?!"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean this is so totally not what has happened. Since that night, everything has changed and no one but Jane and me knows it yet."

Miko held out her hand and what happened was the most unexpected thing.

Cliffhanger! Oh, I love to end like this.

Miko and Jane had a secret. Again.

What will it be? And what is Miko showing to her friends?

Find out next time :)
