Lala grinned as wide as she could from her perch on Sunstreaker's lap. She held onto the controls with her tinier hands steering with them as he gripped them himself. "This is Hella awesome!" Lala cried out as Sunstreaker took them down at an incredible pace toward the blue planet called Earth. She felt herself being braced against Sunstreaker and squealed in delight as he took one hand off the wheel and placed it securely over her. He's making sure I'm safe! Oh my god! She thought wildly to herself as she took her hands off the wheel and grabbed onto his thumb. "Your awesome Sunny! Show me whatcha got!" She cried out for joy.
Sunstreaker winked an optic at the young girl, causing her to blush and gulp. She loved him more than anything from her own world. This was a fantasy come to life. Lala could actually touch him, talk to him, be with him. Her heart melted into a puddle as Sunstreaker replied "You got it lil firecracker! Now hold on tight to me!"
Lala squealed at the nickname he'd given her, which was exactly the name he chose in her and her friends fan fictions! She was more than happy to oblige, gripping his thumb as it playfully stroked her middle. She giggled as Sunstreaker steered with one hand, taking the ship upwards and spiraling toward the stars. Sideswipe sat next to him in the navigator's seat and laughed along with his brother and Lala as the ship looped the loop. To Lala, it was thrilling beyond any Earth roller coaster ride she'd ever taken and what's best of all…She was with the two transformers that were her absolute favorites. Top that!
Looking up at Sunstreaker left her breathless. That cocky self absorbed grin, the meticulously cared for paintjob, that mischievous glint in his optics, how she loved him. Sunstreaker banked the ship the left, rocking the cargo inside and tipping the ship onto its side. Sides and Lala grinned at each other and held on for dear life as he quickly banked the ship to the right and descended downwards again toward Earth. Taking the space ship into a barrel roll, Sunstreaker whooped out of excitement. "I'm the most awesome thing in the universe!" He cried out, throwing his hands up into the air as the ship barrel rolled over and over again at an alarming speed towards Earth's atmosphere!
"Damn it Sunny!" Lala cried out as the one thing holding her into place was removed. She tried holding onto his leg armor and but felt her grip sliding. "Get your hands back on the wheel!" She screamed as Sunstreaker ignored her warning and her grip slipped from his leg. The Mexican girl found herself careening upwards as the ship dove and about to crash into the metal wall!
Leiana screamed again, preparing herself for the death blow that was about to come. When her fragile human body would be smashed to a bloody pulp against the wall. Nothing left but a bloody smear against the wall, her adventure over before it even began.
"Lala!" Came Sideswipe's cry of alarm as he leapt out of his seat and lunged for the flying girl. The red twin reached out his hand and caught the girl, curling his fingers around her protectively and hugging her to his chest. He braced himself as he was about to be slammed into the wall in her place.
"Disengage gravity stabilizers!" Sunstreaker cried out over the chaos, realizing now the mistake he had made. He pressed several buttons and the ship reacted to his verbal command. The yellow bot gripped the steering wheel for dear life and braced his feet against the seat to keep from floating upwards.
Sideswipe found himself floating inside the ship and not careening into the wall as previously thought would happen. He placed Lala onto his shoulder, where she scrambled to hang on to his armor and avoid floating up to the ceiling. "Sunstreaker! Put the gravity back on!" Sideswipe called out to his brother. "I've got her she's alright!"
"Engage gravity stabilizers now!" Sunstreaker cried out, pressing buttons again and wincing as his brother and Leiana came tumbling down to the ground.
Sideswipe landed with an enormous echoing thud right on his aft with Lala still clinging to his shoulder.
"Sunstreaker you idiot!" She cried out as Sideswipe set her safely down on the floor. With Sunstreaker still at the wheel, the word safe, was kind of iffy at the moment.
"Hey what happened to your adoring praise five minutes ago?" Sunstreaker called back to her, sounding a bit hurt.
"She's right Sunstreaker, give me that wheel!" Sideswipe demanded as they headed down toward Earth's atmosphere. Sunstreaker had dropped their alarmingly dangerous decent by pulling the ship up a bit.
"Hey, I've got it under control now, so back off!" Sunstreaker narrowed his optics as his brother approached him. He wasn't ready to give up his position at the pilot's seat.
"Yeah and you almost got Lala killed stupid!" Sideswipe retorted, shoving his brother out of the seat and onto the floor. "Besides, I'm the better pilot!"
"The slag you are!" The yellow mech replied, getting to his feet and taking part of the wheel in his hands. "Give it back!" He tugged.
"It's my turn to steer!" Sideswipe tugged.
"Who says you even get a turn?"
"My foot up your aft that's who!"
"LET GOOOOOOOOOOO!" They both fought over the wheel back and forth, tugging and pulling and rocking the ship with all their might until finally, the inevitable happened. The steering wheel to the ship…broke off.
The ship began to rock violently back and forth, alarms sounding as the twins were thrown back, broken wheel in both their hands.
"YOU TWO ARE THE BIGGEST FRAGHEADS TO EVER COME TO EARTH!" Lala shouted as she was snatched up in Sunstreaker's grasp as the two slid to the back of the ship's wall. All three of them were braced against the wall as the ship began spiraling out of control down toward the Earth below.
"We're gonna crash!" Sideswipe cried out as the ship seared through the atmosphere and down amongst the clouds. The ground was coming up way too fast for his liking.
"I'm too young and beautiful to go offline!" Sunstreaker wailed, clutching his brother with his free hand. "Sides what are we gonna doooooooooooooo?"
The city of Detroit grew closer and closer as the ship careened out of control, heading right into the thick of it! Leiana felt her heart thumping hard against her chest as she fought to keep her lunch down. She braced herself against Sideswipe and Sunstreaker as her Allspark cherry blossom necklace began to glow brightly.
Suddenly, just as the ship was about to crash into a construction site and kill all three of them in an instant, the Allspark power that was bestowed upon Lala showed itself.
The young Mexican girl found herself and the twins becoming lighter, and sliding backwards. She frowned, how was that possible when they were against the back of the ships very walls? She looked around frantically as the ships rooms began sliding away from them as they went right through the walls. "What's happening?" She cried out, still holding on for dear life to Sunstreaker and Sideswipe.
"Are we joining the well of all sparks?" Sunstreaker asked his brother. "My paintjob will be ruined before we get there!"
"Quit talking about your slagging paintjob!" Sideswipe answered his brother as he stared at Lala's neckline. "I think its…its Lala, she's saving us!"
"The Allspark…" She murmured as they left the ship entirely, phasing through the walls and floating softly down to the ground. All three winced as the ship crashed with an enormous explosion upon the construction site…and to Lala's utter shock and horror, a familiar beat up yellow sports car.
"My car!" Captain Fanzone cried out in horror as he talked to a construction worker about two missing construction vehicles that had recently been stolen from the site. A cement and a crane. The whole construction site was now leveled to the ground in a smoking hole of debri and random ship parts thrown about in a maelstrom of chaos. The force of the blast had sent the humans coming to work at the edge of it flying backwards in terror as the alien ship had come crashing down. "This is why I HATE MACHINES!" Fanzone cried out, looking at the ship and then upwards at the approaching Autobots. "Not more of em pleeeease." He sighed and clapped a hand over his face. He glanced at his ruined crushed car in the site parking lot and winced. "Hope my insurance covers act of robot." he murmured.
"Hey guys…lets get out of here." Lala exclaimed once they had landed on the ground and became solid again. "Before the police come and we have to explain this."
"Right." Sideswipe agreed, scanning the area for something to scan.
"But what form should we take?" Sunstreaker said, setting Lala down on the ground. "What could possibly be as wondrous and ultimately cool as me?"
Lala clapped a hand over her head and pointed to an expensive car lot. Just as fate would have it, two shiny new Lamborghini's red and yellow were on display in the window. "Just pick those and become the Lambo twins! You know it's the right thing to do!" Lala called out, wondering what in the world would happen if the two scanned something else.
"Right!" The twins both agreed, scanning the sleek forms of the Lamborghini's.
Sunstreaker opened his door and Lala hastily got inside before she heard ambulance, fire truck and police car sirens. She leaned out the open window at the smoldering ship and winced. Optimus and probably Ratchet would have their heads for this…That she was sure of. She grinned to herself though, they had escaped with their lives and were now on their way to the Autobot base, she assumed that's where the twins were going. Her Allspark necklace had saved them and now she had a cool new power!
--
Jade leaned against the back railing of the boat, listening happily to what Bulkhead was telling her. Her purple kerchief blew lazily in the wind as she smiled warmly up at the big green bot. She enjoyed listening to him talk about his friends back at the Autobot base even though she'd watched the show religiously back in her own real world and knew practically everything he was telling her. Jade adored the green S.W.A.T van to bits. Her smile grew even wider when she looked at her dolphin Allspark ring wrapped neatly around her right ring finger.
This truly was a dream come true for her. Getting to be with her favorite transformers animated character, paling around with him as if they'd been buddies for life and heading toward the Autobot base to meet the others was just nuts. Who could have thought this would happen to her? Jade, an ordinary girl who's life wasn't anything particularly spectacular, was drawn into the Transformers Universe. She silently thanked the Allspark for giving her this wonderful adventure she'd always dreamed of.
"And your gonna love Sari and Bumblebee." Bulkhead carried on, happy to have someone to talk to that actually listened to him. He leaned against the side of the rail next to his little companion. He was careful not to put his entire weight on it for fear of breaking it off and going tumbling into the water. The last thing Bulkhead wanted was for her to see his unintentionally destructive clumsiness. "They can be pains in the aft sometimes, Sari uses her key for everything and Bumblebee's obnoxious but his sparks in the right place…most of the time." Bulkhead scratched his small helmed head and looked over at Jade. Her attention had turned to her Allspark ring on her finger and the big bot thought he may have been boring her. Better ask.
"I'm not boring you am I?" Bulkhead asked, his face taking on a look of worry.
"Oh no no no." Jade looked shocked as she turned her attention back toward Bulkhead. She cringed inwardly at his saddened face. She would never do anything to hurt the big softie. Never. "You'd never bore me." She smiled reassuringly, patting his arm. "Ok, maybe if you read aloud from a math book but I think that would bore you too." She winked at him. "I'm just so happy to be here, I was thanking the Allspark and my lucky stars. I've just…always wanted to be your little buddy that's all."
She immediately blushed and looked at the floor. Crap, what a thing to say. She thought to herself. Now he's probably going to think I stalk him with a camera in the bushes or something. She loved Bulkhead on the show, he was funny and big guys with hearts of gold always became her favorite characters. But how was he to know that? Jade had let her fan girlish hero worship get the better of her, and now Bulkhead probably was disturbed by her attentions and was probably thinking the worst of her at the moment. Jade expected him to back up, to tell her she was crazy and that he felt she shouldn't hang around him anymore. That she was a creepy nuisance. She wasn't expecting him to say what he said next.
"Well then today's your lucky day lil lady!" Bulkhead winked at the kerchief girl. He scooped her up gently with one hand and set her on his shoulder. The wing like car doors that stood over his back shielding her from the hot sun. He smiled as she let out a fan girlish squeal and hugged the side of his head. "Bumblebee was my little buddy for a while, but he's always with Sari. Didn't think I'd ever have another one."
It was true, Bumblebee and Bulkhead were pretty much best friends, until they had awakened on Earth and Bumblebee had found Sari. Now the two were practically inseparable. Bulkhead cared for Sari as well and would always look out and protect her with his very spark. But the poor bot couldn't help but feel left out whenever she chose to spend the day with Bumblebee and saw how the two carried on together like they'd been friends forever. In truth, it made Bulkhead feel pretty lonely.
Bulkhead was always friendly and nice, yet the humans, save Sari and her father Isaac Sumdac, had never seen that side of him. They'd always judged him based on his enormous appearance and sometimes clumsy and accidentally destructiveness. The interview he'd done on television hadn't helped matters at all. The big guy had never come across a human like Jade. Who looked up to him, and wanted to be his friend. Who wasn't afraid of him. He'd taken a shine to the little girl with big brown innocent eyes almost immediately. He smiled again, feeling quite good about his new friendship with the young girl and held up a fist to her. She smiled, making a fist herself and pounding it gently against his.
"You rock." She said, her innocent eyes closing in a contented grin. She was happy and relieved beyond belief that Bulkhead didn't think she was some kind of weirdo obsessed stalker. "Tell me more about your friends and the base?" She asked, eager to listen to the big bot again. She was indeed very fond of him.
"Well, your gonna wanna watch it around Ratchet." Bulkhead continued to explain. "He's a crank case if you get him mad." The big green bot put a small metal finger to his mouth piece and made a shushing motion to the young girl. "He's much nicer than he lets on, but don't tell him I told you that. He'd scramble my circuits on my next diagnostic. Got it?"
Jade nodded, winking slyly at the big bot. "I got it, don't worry. I won't tell."
"Vont tell vhat?" came a sickeningly familiar German accented voice from up in the sky. Jade stood up on Bulkhead's shoulder, leaning against his back car door and looking up in the air.
"That's gotta be…" She trailed off, grinning like the total fan girl she was at the sight of Blitzwing hovering over them.
"Oooooh someones got a new friend! And she's got a sparkly!" Blitzwing cackled, changing personalities.
"Blitzwing…" Bulkhead growled, converting his hands into his signature wrecking balls. "He always has to come get me first."
The insane Decepticon jet swooped down low, giggling insanely to himself and landing upon the ship. It rocked wildly, causing Bulkhead to grip the railing and almost tip over backwards.
With a shriek of surprise, Jade fell over backwards, tumbling off the side of the boat into the water! She cried out inwardly as the air was forced out of her lungs from the force of the fall. The water was icy cold and already she felt herself going numb all over. Jade kicked her legs and shot to the surface. Her arms barely obeyed her as they lost all feeling. She gasped, fighting to gain her breath as she watched the boat go further and further away from her. Jade was a strong swimmer, but knew she'd never make it back.
"Grab on!" Bulkhead shouted to his human friend, shooting out his right hand wrecking ball out towards the side of her. It landed with an enormous splash that sent more freezing water over her head. Jade immediately began swimming toward the rapidly sinking green wrecking ball. She grabbed a hold of the cord it was attached to, shivering as Bulkhead began withdrawing it. When the wrecking ball came to the surface, she slid down to settle herself on top of it.
"Bulkhead! Watch out!" She cried out as Blitzwing transformed from his jet mode to his tank form.
"Eat lead Autobot scum!" The Austrian accented Decepticon cried out, aiming at Bulkhead while his attention was diverted. Blitzwing in his pissed off tank mode, was a dangerous combination.
"No!" Jade cried out, holding up her hand as if she alone could stop what was happening. Her Allspark ring glowed, reacting to her will and lifted up Bulkhead's wrecking ball. She slid off of it and onto the ship as it launched itself with incredible force at the tank just as it fired! The wrecking ball, seared through Blitzwings shot and knocked the Decepticon clear off the boat and high into the air!
With a shoom sound that signified his personality change, Blitzwing again reverted to his mentally unstable voice. "Looks like Blitzwing's blasting off again!" he cried out, filling the sky with his high pitched cackling until he was nothing but a tiny dot on the horizon.
"Whoa…how'd you do that?" Bulkhead asked, confused and scratching his head as he withdrew his wrecking ball into his hand.
Jade looked down at her shaking hand, staring at her glowing Allspark ring. The words rang throughout her memory clear as a bell the night before when she'd seen the shooting star in the sky. As you three have called upon my power, So have I called upon yours. Look deep within yourselves for my gifts and use them to complete me. Make me whole again. Only then will you be able to return to your world.
"The Allspark." She answered her friend as Bulkhead approached her curiously. "It…must have given me the power to do that when I saw that you were in danger." She shivered as she smiled up at the big bot.
"Awe, cmere you!" Bulkhead looked at her proudly, taking her up in one arm and hugging her close to his spark chamber to warm her. With his free hand, the bot carefully pulled out a fire blanket from a safety compartment on the boat and wrapped his shivering friend up in it. "You did a great job against your first Decepticon. And Blitzwings no pushover either."
Jade beemed triumphantly as Bulkhead cradled her in his arms, watching as land grew closer and closer. As you three…are there more allspark empowered people like me? Jade thought to herself. And If there are…who are they?

Rose held on tightly to the handlebars on the police motorcycle as Prowl sped through the city streets. She watched the animated people go about their daily lives, robots walking amongst them. It was so different from her own, mundane normal world. It was fantastic, amazing, anything could happen here! How Rose wished her online sisters could see it like this. Her long flowing red hair and skirt over her jeans rustled in the wind as a smile gently spread across her face. This was amazing, incredible. She still couldn't believe where she was. In the Transformers Animated world, in Detroit, riding on Prowl. "How are you doing?" Rose heard Prowl's voice issuing from the black motorcycle. "Are you holding out alright? Would you like me to slow down?"
Rose smirked at Prowl and gripped the handlebars tighter in her gloved hands. "Now way mate." Rose assured him as they stopped before a red stoplight. "Can you go faster I wonder?" She teased. "Seems a bit slow going."
Prowl chuckled a bit as the light turned green and he moved forward again. "You couldn't handle my speed human." The ninja bot replied. "I believe, for now, this pace is adequate enough."
"Some bloody fun you are." Rose scoffed and faked a yawn. "I'm going to be bored to tears before we get there. Show me something wicked. You are the famous Prowl I've read about in the news right mate? I want to see what you've got!"
Prowl screeched to a halt, skidding to the sidewalk and stopping as a crowd near a crosswalk looked on curiously. "You want a demonstration then Rose?" Prowl asked, bemused. "Then I'll be happy to oblige. All that I ask is that you…" And before he could finish, the police motorcycle gunned his engine and sped off down the street in a blurr! "Hold on tight!" He finished and cried out as Rose let out a surprised yelp.
"Now this is more like it!" Rose cheered him on as Prowl expertly weaved amongst the cars on the road. Prowl began to head straight toward a construction sites up ahead. With the cities many robot battles, there were many of these sites around to clean up the damage the Decepticons, or a rogue malfunctioning group of robots may have caused to the city. "Oh bloody HELL NO!" Rose cried out in shear terror and delight as Prowl headed straight for a slanted ramp. Was he going to jump it? Rose didn't give that question a second thought. Of course he was going to jump the ramp!
"Hang on!" Prowl warned as he kicked up dirt and dust at the site, swerving around a gigantic rusted brown colored crane. He left tire tracks deep into the dirt and rubble as he launched himself and Rose high into the air. Gaining speed, his tires spinning in midair, Prowl leaned backwards, arching himself upwards.
"Prowl you're bloody amazing but what are you doing?" Rose cried out, holding on for dear life as Prowl headed right toward the side of a nearby building.
"Trust me." Was his calm reply. Well, she didn't really have a lot of choice in the matter at this point. Prowl's tires connected with the side of the building, propelling him and his passenger forward up its side! Rose let out a triumphant cry of exhileration as Prowl took her up the side of the building and neatly up onto its roof.
Rose felt the pure surge of adrenaline rush throughout her body as she gasped for air. Prowl was amazing, awesomeness to the extreme. He'd just jumped a ramp and floored it up the side of a building! She slid off of the seat and took a few dizzying steps forward. Prowl transformed behind her, with the signature transforming digital noise that made the fan girl inside her scream with delight. "Steady now." Prowl told her, gripping her lanky shoulders firmly in his metallic hands. "A ninja must always be light and quick on their feet. Balance and focus are the key to every ninja's training."
Rose's sea blue eyes absolutely lit up with childlike glee. Prowl was giving her ninja pointers? Was he actually going to teach her? She put a black gloved hand over her mouth to keep from crying out and jumping into his arms. "Does that mean you'll make me your apprentice then?" Rose asked hopefully, turning her beautiful eyes on the visored ninja. "Please, please, please Prowl! I'd really fancy being a ninja and you're positively the best mate! You'd be a great teacher!"
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet." Prowl answered, a little nervously. "First we need to get you back to the base and figure out what to do from there. Over eagerness will get you into trouble. Believe me, my friend Bumblebee knows this all too well."
Rose giggled at the mention of Bumblebee and then leaned over to peer down at the city below them. True this wasn't the highest building in Detroit but its distance from the ground took her breath away. "It's incredible." She gasped, looking at the city skyline and watching the people below go walking by.
"The city has its own charms." Prowl agreed, laying a hand across her shoulder to steady her just in case. "I prefer the peace and quiet of the country myself."
"You should come with me to England sometime mate." Rose smiled up at the ninja bot as they looked over the city together. "Cornwall is quite lovely…if it happens to be sunny."
Prowl smiled and gave her a nod. "Perhaps one day. I do believe I'm in need of a vacation away from the noise and chaos of the city."
As if to prove his point entirely, the buildings alarm suddenly rang, sirens and blinking red lights going off so loudly that Rose covered her ears. "Bloody Hell!" She exclaimed as a grappling hook shot into the air and embedded itself on the side of the building between her and Prowl. "What's going on here?"
"Tallyho!" Came a british male voice much to the goth girl's surprise. A rather portly man dressed in green Robin Hood attire, tights and all, swung himself over the side of the wall and onto the roof. He was carrying an enormous sack over his back with an American dollar sign adorning it. He had an immensely large overbite, his buck teeth jutting out grossly from his upper jaw.
"Angry Archer!" Prowl cried out, immediately taking up a defensive stance. "Give back the money you've stolen and turn yourself into the authorities."
Angry Archer stiffened and gasped as he saw the Autobot. "What ho? A mechanical foe! And one of the Autobots by my wager." He tipped his green feathered hat to Rose. "And beautiful lady as well. This isn't perhaps the luckiest thing to happen. You really suppose that I'll come quietly?" He asked Prowl indignantly. He set the money bag down, reached behind his back and pulled out an arrow and bow.
"I am a villain after all. Stealing from the rich and giving to…myself. I'll give you time to remove the lady from the battle."
"How very kind of you." Rose commented though inside she was screaming. Her fan girl self was jumping up and down to be face to face with her favorite Transformers Animated villain. "I don't suppose you'd fancy having a cup of tea instead of robbing this bank." She asked, gesturing the building they were on with more alarms sounding at every second.
Angry Archer lowered his bow and raised an eyebrow. "My lady, you are from Britannia as well? Oh that is a rather splendid surprise! Well, yes I do rather fancy a cup of good old English tea. Do you suppose how long I've been in this dreadful country and not had a civilized conversation with my own kind?"
Prowl stood there, confused as he put his palm to his forehead. "Just give back the money Angry Archer. I have no wish to hurt or do battle with you."
The Angry archer stopped his talk with Rose and blinked, as if noticing Prowl was standing there for the first time. He bowed to Rose as he fastened the money bag to his belt. "Well good lady, looks as if we'll have to continue this delightful conversation elsewhere." He quickly and randomly grabbed Rose and hefted her over his shoulder, drawing his bow and quickly firing another arrow with a grappling hook attached to it. "Tallyho!" He sung out jumping down from the building and swinging on the rope like Tarzan!
Rose let out an ear piercing scream as she held onto the man in tights for dear life. "Bloody wanker what do you think your doing?" She screamed into his ear. "Put me down this instant! How dare you kidnap me!"
Angry Archer smiled, although she'd made him go temporarily deaf in his right ear. "Ah tis lovely to hear you speak like a real Brit milady!"
Rose didn't answer, her attention turned to Prowl. She gasped in awe, smiling as he leapt from rooftop to rooftop deftly and with ease. His battle mask was down and his optics locked on the Angry Archer. He really was a ninja, and was damn good at what he did! "Put her down Angry Archer!" The black police motorcycle cried out as he left off a rooftop and fired up the jets on his back. He collided with the villain, knocking him onto a lower rooftop and flat on his back, while scooping Rose up in his arms. Prowl definitely was good at what he did. Rose smiled, hugging Prowl and cheering him on for his pure awesomeness.
"Bloody Hell robot! I wasn't going to hurt the poor creature!" Angry Archer protested, rubbing the small of his back and groaning in pain. An ominous beeping noise filled the air as Prowl landed on the rooftop. Angry Archer winced, looking back at his crushed quiver slowly. "Well gent and lady, its been rather amusing but I must make my escape. Farwell!" He pulled out another arrow with a grappling hook and leapt off the building in a hurry.
"Are you alright?" Prowl asked her as she clung to his neck and glared at the arrows.
"Prowl…I think we need to leave..."
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!"
One of Angry Archers exploding arrows had activated when the Robin Hood wannabe had fallen on top of them and that in turn set the others off! Prowl quickly, turned Rose away, shielding her from the blast as the roof began to give way! Prowl held onto the girl as they fell through the damaged roof, wincing as debri began hitting them from every angle!
"Prowl!" Rose cried out, alarmed. They would fall to their death is something wasn't done.
Rose looked down in surprise as her Allspark bat bracelet began to glow its soft shimmery pink and purple color. And then, they disappeared. Poof, out of nowhere, away from the explosion sight and back onto the street in front of the building.
Prowl slid his battle mask back up into his visor and just stared blankly. "That was logically impossible." He said, placing Rose down into the street. "How did we get out of there alive and out here?"
Rose looked down at her shaking lean arm and saw that her Allspark bracelet glowed softly. "Powers…" She murmured, turning the bracelet over and over on her wrist. "The Allspark gave me the power to do that." She concluded.
Prowl knelt down to examine her glowing bracelet and let a smile curl slowly across his face. "And you used it quite well under pressure." He complimented her. "Perhaps you'll make a decent apprentice after all."
Rose's face absolutely lit up as she hugged the police bot with all her might around his waist. "Does that mean I'm your apprentice officially And you'll teach me how to be a ninja!" She squealed, smiling from ear to ear.
Prowl looked a bit nervous as he pried her off of his torso but managed a smile none the less. "Err…yes…let us…be on our way." He told her, transforming back into the police motorcycle and revving his engine. Rose couldn't believe her good luck. Power to disappear at will AND Prowl had decided to take her up and train her to become a ninja! How cool was that! She thanked the Allspark silently as she slid her leg over the motorcycle and gripped the bars. Autobot base, here we come! She smiled gleefully as Prowl took off into the street once more.

Starscream flew over Detroit as low as he dared. Soaring over the buildings and looking down on the people in deep concentration. He had to find this so called Tea. He would find it! He was Starscream Decepticon air commander and seeker extraordinaire. Oh yes, tea would be very sorry once he found it. Whatever it was. Wherever it was.
"Tea…tea…? What the slag is tea?" Starscream said to himself as he checked his online data tracks. "Let's see what the world wide web has to say about…Tea." His searched turned up 611,000,000 results. "Blast it all! What do these meat bags need with all this…stuff?" Starscream said, landing on top of a nearby rooftop and transforming into robot mode. He sat on the edge of the building, his long limber legs dangling over the sides. Search images flashed throughout his data tracks.
Mr. T born Laurence Tureaud;
May 21, 1952) is an Americanactor known for his roles as Sgt."B. A." (Bad Attitude) Baracus in the 1980s television series The A-Team, as boxerJames "Clubber" Lang in the 1982 film Rocky III, and for his numerous appearances in the WWF and as a professional wrestler. Mr. T is also well-known for his distinctive Mohawk hairstyle, for wearing large amounts of gold jewelry, and for his tough guy image.Starscream blinked as he pulled up the picture of the 80's African American star. "She can't want this human can she? She hadn't had any…of this human all day? Are they cannibals?" Starscream winced and shuddered visibly, rubbing his hands against his arms as if to warm them from an icy chill. "Humans…are…disgusting!" He shouted to the air, making a gagging noise and shaking his head.
Starscream blinked and shook his head again. "That can't be it. That can't be what she wants. Alright, searching again." He sighed irritated.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a 1982 science fiction film co-produced and directed by Steven Spielberg, It tells the story of Elliott a lonely boy who befriends a friendly alien, dubbed "E.T.", who is stranded on Earth. Elliott and his siblings help the alien return home while attempting to keep it hidden from their mother and the government.
"Ok…that's just confusing. What is that girl's malfunction?" Starscream tilted his head to the side, scratching his helmed head. "Why would she want to abduct and abscond with a small little alien being?" Starscream shook his head and closed his eyes. "No, no, on second thought. I don't want to know." he pinched the bridge of his nose ands stroked his overly long chin. Lets try something else."
Again, Starscream searched through the world wide web. His puzzled expression grew to one of smug triumph. "Ah, so that's what she meant by Tea." He stopped his search on the world wide web, pulling up the herb made beverage in question.
Tea is an
infusion made by steeping processed leaves, buds, or twigs of the tea bush in hot water for several minutes, after which it is drunk.The four basic types of true tea are
black tea, oolong tea, green tea, and white tea.Starscream frowned again, crossing his arms across the jet's cockpit that formed the center of his chest. "A lot of good that does me. Now that I know what tea is where do I find it?" He stood up, clenching his fists and narrowing his red glowing optics. "Where do I find some tea!" He screamed, firing his cannons into the air in frustration. "Why is it so difficult for me? Why must every little plan I think of be ruined? Why must I suffer like this to gain power? Why me? Why Starscream the mighty? Starscream the powerful Starscream the…" Starscream stopped his whining self pity party and glared down at one of the humans 10 stories below him on the ground.The woman in question was holding a Styrofoam cup in one hand and a brief case in the other. She had on a nice business suite and was walking in nice black dress shoes, checking her watch occasionally and sipping from the cup. The cup was from Dunkin Donuts and was steaming with a hot liquid inside. "Tea…so finally I have you. Right in my clutches!" Starscream sneered as he turned on the jets on his enormous feet and soared into the air.
He shot down like a bullet, targeting the young woman and landing with an earth shattering thud right in front of her! The ground shook and cracked under his enormous weight as he pointed both arm mounted laser cannons at the frightened young woman. The girl in question had mocha skin the color of her drink which in her tumble, had spilled all over her nice white blouse. Her hair was pinned back into a tight bun, her red painted lips quivering in fear as she crawled away from the enormous seeker.
"Not again." She mumbled, before getting grabbed harshly in Starscream's iron grip. "Look I'm the mayor's aid, I need to get to work before I'm fired!" She cried out to the Decepticon desperately.
"I don't care about your miserable little job fleshling!" Starscream yelled, bringing the unfortunate woman close to his head. She flinched, pulling her hands over her eyes to shield herself from the fiery evil glow of Starscreams optics. "Hand over your tea human! And I'll let you go on your merry way."
"I don't understand. What are you talking about?" She gasped as Starscream tightened his hold over her. "Put me down! The mayor will hear about this!" She struggled in his grasp, trying desperately to wiggle free as he began to shake her like a rag doll.
"I grow impatient human!" Starscream thundered, glaring at her and pointing his cannon right in her face. "Give me that tea, or I'll send you to the well of all sparks!"
Not knowing what in the world he was talking about, but getting that he was referring to her drink, the mayor's aid glared at the seeker. "It's not tea! It's coffee and you can't have it! You spilled it all over my new blouse!" She yelled at him, her face quickly contorting to an angry rage.
Starscream blinked and looked at her unbelievingly. "Did…you just say that's coffee and not tea?" She didn't answer him at first, too frightened by the manic obsessive look he'd gotten into his optics. "DID YOU JUST SAY THAT'S NOT TEA!" He brought her insanely close to his face again, glaring and gritting his sharp pointed teeth.
"Are you going to eat me or put me down?" The woman demanded, still clinging to her anger and managing to wriggle her arms free of his grasp. She pounded on his fist. Starscream was too stunned as another of his plans was foiled yet again to notice. Though he did slowly release his grip and let the woman go tumbling to the ground.
She fell with an oof on top Starscreams foot, scrambling away from him and grabbing her briefcase. She fished inside of it and pulled out a cell phone, beginning to call the police.
Starscream knelt down to her level and slammed a metallic fist hard into the ground. She gasped, dropping her cell phone and watching it forlornly as it skidded far out of her reach. Dangerously close to a side street sewer grate. "Tell me where to find some tea!" He demanded, pointing a finger at her. "I demand to know where I can obtain that hot human beverage!"
"Why do you want it for anyway!" She cried out, searching the streets frantically for some sort of diner or restaurant that would serve tea. The mayors aid pointed a shaking finger at a "Starbucks" down the road a little ways. "There! They'd have it there!" She shouted.
"Why I want it is none of your concern human." Starscream said, beginning to walk in the direction she had indicated. "Thank you for your cooperation. I'll remember it when I'm lord and master of the universe." He inclined his head to her and then turned toward the Starbucks. "Or not." He smirked, finally setting his sights on his goal.
He walked right into the middle of the street. His heavy, thunderous footsteps caused the poor woman's cell phone to shake and tip right into the sewer drain. She groaned and leaned against the side of a telephone pole, head in her hands. "The mayor isn't going to be happy with this." She sighed.
Starscream was content and walking as if he owned the street and every car on the road swerved to avoid the seeker. "Soon enough. I'll have the tea and the Allspark shard and I'll be one step closer to finally defeating Megatron and taking my place as ruler of the Universe!" Starscream smirked to himself as he approached the building. He ignored the screams of the panicked humans as they ran amongst his feet.
The seeker stopped before the outside of the building, standing a few feet taller than it. He smirked, aiming his arm mounted laser cannons at the front entrance and began firing! He brought the cannons down in an arc, cutting open an enormous hole in the front of the coffee smelling building. It looked like someone had been trying to recreate the wall with a swiss cheese theme. He threw aside the debri and gripped the walls and pulled aside the weakened section.
The humans inside screamed in terror and scattered like rats from a cat as Starscream threw the section of wall to the ground and stepped forward into the ruined store. Chairs and tables lay smashed and dented, glass was shattered and everyone save the one employee standing behind the counter had vacated the "Starbucks."
"Good, it appears that I'm first in line." Starscream chuckled wickedly to himself. "Give me a…large tea human service provider." the seeker demanded, reading over the menu. "And…one espresso. That just sounds delightful don't you think?" He added, aiming his laser cannon at the poor man behind the counter.
"He..he…here man take it! Take it all!" The teenage boy behind the counter stammered as he poured the hot tea into the large carrying cup. "Mmmmilk and sugar?" the poor boy asked as Starscream tapped his foot impatiently, making the ground shake and not helping matters at all.
"Yes and be quick about it human!" Starscream frowned and shook his fist. Then he smirked deviously and folded his arms across his chest. "Now about payment…I'll asume trading those items is worth your human life am I correct?"
"Course sir no charge!" The teenager shrieked as he shakily held out the two cups, one tea and one espresso.
Starscream hastily snatched up the two cups in his hand, holding onto them gently and beginning to head out of the hole he'd made in the first place. "Now to bring this back to that girl Rose and collect my Allspark fragment." He placed the two cups inside the nose cone cockpit, securing them in with a seatbelt, hopeful that they wouldn't spill inside of him. Starscream transformed, once again soaring into the sky just as the police arrived on the scene.
