Hey Guys!

Here I am, back again!

I am very sorry but I had no time to update yesterday.

School takes a lot of my time at the moment…

Well, whatever. That´s not the story.

Jane, Miko, Jack and Raf are trying to escape. But they are outside earth´s orbit.

Will they manage to escape and reunite with the Autobots?

Chapter 3

We needed a few minutes, up to we reached the place I considered to be our last chance of escaping.

The Decepticon command center.

We were hiding behind the grid, watching the operating Decepticons from above.

They had no idea about us observing them.

"There are always Decepticon Troopers in here. We just have to wait. When there are only a few of them left, then I can defeat them." I said.

"Like you did to Knockout?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, thereabouts. But better you don´t ask about that."

"So, what are we going to do?"

"You? Nothing. I will handle the Decepticons. It´s way too dangerous for ordinary humans."

"And you are no ordinary human!?"

"What? Have I said that? Sorry. Seems like I have started talking like them."

"Okay, whatever. Do you have a real plan?"

"Of course. I will handle the Decepticons. Afterwards, you can leave the ventilation system and we will take the Spacebridge down to earth."

"It couldn´t even be more risky!" Jack hissed.

"Maybe. Taking an escaping pot would be more risky and we do not have any other chances."

Although I understood that they were worried, Jack seemed to be overprotective.

"Okay, listen. It´s easy. I will handle the ´Cons and you are going to close the door. There is a switch next to the door. You just have to hit it. This will give us some time. Hopefully enough to get out of here." I explained.

The kids nodded, but actually they had no idea how dangerous this plan was.

A familiar voice made me shudder.

Megatron.

Why hadn´t I noticed him yet?

"What in the name of Cybertron is he doing in there? Ne never leaves the bridge." I whispered to myself.

The door opened and Knockout entered.

"Lord Megatron, we have a situation. The prisoners escaped!"

"They are humans, Knockout. Children! Don´t be a fool, find them."

"It´s not that easy, my lord. All of them escaped, even a certain girl."

"What?!"

The Decepticon leader turned towards a control desk. A second later, his voice was heard all over the ship.

"The prisoners escaped! Search and find them! Bring them back alive, especially our special guest."

Every Decepticon moved. Even Knockout left for searching.

They really had no suspicion how close we were hiding.

Jack looked at me. "Special guest?" he repeated.

"He was talking about you, wasn´t he?"

I closed my eyes and wished that he hadn´t asked.

"He was. Megatron often calls me his special guest. Me makes fun out of it."

"But why…"

"Jack, please. Just don´t ask about my past. You won´t believe me anyway."

Miko and Raf looked at each other without saying a word.

They were too busy looking at Megatron, who now was all alone.

The Warlord was walking up and down.

He suddenly stopped.

I told Miko, Jack and Raf to stand back.

My decision was right.

I recognized that Megatron wasn´t talking to himself.

"Isn´t it, how you wanted it to be? Here is only one Decepticon left. Show yourself, girl. I know you are here."

I shallowed and felt the kids´ questioning staring.

"Stay here, wait for my signal. We will continue with the plan."

Quietly I moved to another grid, which ended at the other side of the room.

I crashed the grid with the noise of an explosion.

Megatron wasn´t even surprised about my attack.

"I am here. Are you going to tell me how you found out? I am interested."

I stayed cool. Megatron wasn´t the one to scare me.

"Brave, as always. Don´t you care that they abandoned you? You was replaced by those children. Tell me their location and I will let you go."

At first I was shocked. But then I noticed his smile and understood what was going through his mind.

"You won´t trick me. My intention always was stronger than your power."

"That´s a no? Sadly. What are you going to do? Going back? To those, who have left you? They got new friends and you are all on your own."

Again Megatron shows that he does have a way with words.

I trembled in fear, but stayed loyal to myself.

"No. Stop that! I know who I am. I do have a destiny. I am Cybertron´s last hope of ever being restored! I am your enemy!"

Megatron hadn´t considered that I was not afraid of attacking him.

I used everything I had to push him out of the room. And finally I made it.

"Go for it, hurry!" I yelled.

The kids closed the door while I fought with Megatron.

Within the very last second, I entered the room again.

We made it.

I climbed the panel and jumped on the oversized keys. Nothing happened.

"What? No! This can´t be!"

Hopelessness grew inside me.

I knew that the Autobots would never forgive me if anything happens to their new friends.

And I knew that I would not forgive myself.

I had to give everything.

Again I tried to open the Groundbridge – but again nothing happened.

"May I ask you something?" It was Raf.

"Go for it." I answered.

"If we are outside earth´s atmosphere, can we reach the earth with a Groundbridge? I mean, wouldn´t a Spacebrigde be appropriate?"

I stared at him.

"You. Are. Genious. Why haven´t I thought about that? That´s why it does not work!"

I smiled happily.

But our happiness did not last long. Someone tried to open the door from the outside.

A last time I started jumping on the panel and laughed when the swirling green-blue vortex appeared.

"Go! I can´t hold it! Soundwave tries to capture us! Hurry!" I screamed.

"What about you?" Miko asked.

They did not want to leave me alone.

"If I can´t make it through, remember your promise. Do not tell anyone about me. That would only cause chaos."

"I really do not understand you." Jack said.

"This is my life, Jack. I do not belong to their – to your world any more. It has been a too long time."

They could impossibly have missed the sad tone in my voice.

"Thank you. Thanks for saving us." Jack said with a smile.

"If you don´t go now, no one will get out of this." I answered and pointed towards the Spacebridge.

I closed the portal after they went through and deleted the log.

I just had finished when the door broke and Megatron stepped in.

Being circled by Decepticons, I had no chance of escaping. I was unarmed, they weren´t.

Knockout looked down at me with a creepy scaring smile.

"Lord Megatron, allow me to teach her a lesson she won´t forget."

Fear perfused my body. I hadn´t heard these words for a long time.

"Actually I wanted to jail her, but this is quite a good idea. But you lost her once, this day."

"My lord, I promise. No incidences."

I laughed inwardly.

He would see what he has of messing up with me.

Cliffhanger!

The kids made it back to earth, but Jane is still in Decepticons´ hands.

Risking her own life to save Miko, Jack and Raf could have been a bad idea.

But it happened. And everyone has to live with the consequences.

Who thought that this would happen?

– Of course I did… This is my story.

What do you think? Still worthy to be read?

Thanks for reading!
