Time to solve the mystery of how Eric came to be a part of the Sumdac Tower "family"! Yaaa! : ) I'm goofy tonight.

Anyway I am loving right now that I can show a dark side. *Grins evily and laughs* Stuck In Animated is more on romance and humorous side of me. It was nice to have a change in venue and I hope you readers like the Horror/Mystery I have mixed.

Even my BROTHER was interested in the story and that's saying something...haha if your reading this bro thanks for the positive feedback. ^_^

Also YES Stuck In Animated IS CONTINUING! I just got stuck on what to do next but I am not anymore. So "don't worry, be happy" because Stuck In Animated will be returning to "the big stage" Ok?

PS: Ok when Abby goes in her flashback when I mention the "Irac War" I did that so the time frame would better match the 2050 timeline the series gave. Also it was the only recent War that would make sense.

Then with ALL that out of the way Please Enjoy the Chapter!

IV

Abby woke up to see Huntress' bed vacant and the sun poring through the windows. She smiled leaning up and stretched her arms up when the necklace protuted out exposing the key like figure on the chain. Abby's eyes' widen in realization and she stuffed it back under her shirt just as Huntress came walking in with a towel saying loudly

"Wake up Sunshine! Time's a wasting!"

"What Time is it?" Abby asked rubbing her eyes gently.

"About Seven O'clock." Huntress replied smirking.

Abby rubbed smiled and yawned slowly getting out of bed. Huntress walked over to open the blinds all the way when Abby felt a little heat on her chest as Huntress walked by. She looked down to see the key like charm glowing a bright blue hitting a ray to Huntress' now turned back! Abby's eyes widen in urgency and desperately thought of a way to hide the blue light.

Abby put her arms folded across her chest, which hide the light from Huntress, but was slightly burning her arms. Abby bite the side of her cheek to silence the yelp that wanted to escape her lips as Huntress turned to face her.

"How long have you been up?" Abby said in a fake attempt to be nonchalant.

"Since Six...It's my job to take down the force field each morning."Huntress replied smirking while throwing the towel that had been in her hand and tossed it foward. The towel lightly hitting Abby in the face and as it went limp on her face she mumbleded at Huntress behind the towel

"What's this for?"

"To dry yourself after you bathe..." Huntress said walking to the door. Abby felt the heat on her chest go away and felt safe enough to take the towel off her face. Huntress turned smirking saying playfully

"But you better hurry up because right now.....you stink so bad even the Pack thinks twice about attacking you."

"Very funny." Abby replied sarcasticly rolling her eyes. Abby watched Huntress go out the door then went to the shower in Huntress's room. As she started to take off her clothes Abby grabbed the necklace end bringing it up to her face. The key charm on the end now was a dull blue and seemed less intesting than when Abby had first found it. She shut her eyes going into her very first flashback....

"Uncle Joey!" Abby cried. She watched in horror as the Pack Dog, now to be seen as a female, grab her Uncle thrusting him upward against the left wall.

"Abigail! Run!" Uncle Joey yelled pushing upward with his hands on the dogs impending mouth.

Abigail didn't want to but seeing the urgency in her Uncle's eyes as he looked at her, Abigail obeyed. She tripped and scrambled over newly made rubble from the Pack Dog invading from the side wall as she cried

"What about You!?"

"Don't worry about me Abigail! Just Run and never look back...." Uncle Joey yelled at his loving niece who disappeared out of site into the dusty hot ground outside. He didn't finishes though as the Female Dog made what oddly sounded as a sadistic laugh and grabbed him by the throat shaking him violently. Abigail would never know if she had just broken his neck or had stayed around for some more "fun".

Abby tripped once on the hot ground and hit both knees on the ground. She caught herself with both hands but looked up to see a bright blue light shining right to her. Abby cried out in fear shieilding herself thinking it was a Pack Dog's mean trick before he or she picked her off. When nothing happen, Abigial slowly lowered her hands and looked in the direction of where the light was coming from.

Slowly, she walked up to what looked like an abandon warehouse and entered to see quiet a particular site. A Warehouse filled with HUGE rooms! Abigial's eyes widen in awe looking around at the huge funirture and the other rooms surrounding it. She smiled in glee to see one room with a HUGE tree inside of it!

As Abby looked around in wonder she felt something...calling her. She walked into what looked like it had been a little girls room and looked into see a box with a silver lock on the side. What really shocked Abigail was that it was glowing! She stepped back a little in fear but still feeling a strange call Abby fought her nerves and walked up to see the box suddenly open!

Throwing the last of her fear aside, Abigial ran up to the box to see a pretty necklace with a blue key on the end. Grabbing it in a fit joy of finding something pretty for once, Abby ran out to the yard smiling putting on the key necklace happily. Sadly though the time of happiness would not last...

"And That's how I came to be here..." Abby mumbled finishing up her short flashback that to some, like Huntress, seemed meagre but to Abby had been her first flashback so it held a little weight to it. After the key had been found the same Pack Dog found her and after being chased over three blocks it had her pened. Thankfully Huntress found her and rescued her but things about her Uncle still didn't add up to Abigail.

Abby and her Uncle had been running or hiding in abandon house since she could remember. To Abby surviving from day to day was just what there was to life. She couldn't remember her mother and father or even remember HAVING a family besides Uncle Joey at any time of her young life of seven. Abby's Father had died before she was born in what Uncle Joey called "The Iraq War".

Uncle Joey had never wanted to talk about her mother or fully admit that she ever had one. She had accepted the reality that maybe.....she didn't have a mother. Abby shook her head forgetting the absurd thoughts and looked down suspiciously at the key.

"Why did you glow like that every time she enters the room?" Abby asked the key. She got no response leaving the mystery unsolved.

*An hour Later in the Training Room*

"Your late." Huntress replied tossing a fighting staff at Abby.

Abby stumbled backwards a few steps catching the fighting staff with both her arms. She smiled sheepishly while muttering a "Sorry." And stood in the only fighting stage, her arms in fists and the staff in the right hand, she knew ready to learn. Eric, who was watching while fixing the malfunctioning force field, smirked knowing Abby was in for it for jumping too soon in the stance. His prediction was right as Huntress walked over to Abby frowning and lowered Abby's fist down with a little force. Abby looked up with sheepishness and Huntress eye's....softened?

Eric leaned in to see, with his eyes widening, that Huntress had in fact softened, only slightly, and corrected Abby's stance more gently. She put Abby's hands forward in front of her and put both of Abby's hand, palms down, holding the fighting staff horizontal. As Huntress demonstrated how she should move with a fighting staff compared to two nunchucks, Eric went back to work remembering the day when HE had to go through that training. He shuttered from the memory because what he was skilled in marksman and targeting, Eric lacked in hand to hand combat. Eric might be able to fix almost anything, be a good medic, hit a target from miles away but fighting....that's where he was NOT "da man".

He smiled hearing a air swing and a good whack from Abby hitting herself in the forehead landing hard on the ground. Eric turned to see Abby whine rubbing her head and Huntress shaking her head in disappointment. He turned back to the control panel chuckling quietly and heard the ground move from Abby jump up trying to master the art of hand to hand combat once again. While the faint sounds of wood hitting wood from the obvious practice that was going on, Eric began to frown fighting the memory of his past. It didn't work.

"Run Boy! Their coming!" A white haired man hoarsely whispered to a young frightened fifteen year old.

That fifteen year old was Eric and he was fighting for his life, literally, to get to the Sumdac Tower. He held on tightly to the aging man's hand, who he knew was his grandfather and tried to pull him along in the ever growing darkness.

They hadn't always been like this. They had been happy, not rich or had anyone else besides each other, but still content. Eric had lived with his grandfather from the moment he was two years old. His mother had died from a unknown illness and his father was already gone long ago. His Grandfather loved and went to the point of spoiling his grandson the whole period of Eric's short life. Eric had not gotten into being a jerk because the way his grandfather spoiled him was not by money...but by knowledge. Eric had shown a early sign of curiousness and his Grandfather nurtured it by giving him any kind of book he could get his hands on. By eleven years old Eric became a quick study learning and remembering many types of things....mostly medical.

But now all of Eric's knowledge was no match for the blood thirsty Pack that were on his and his grandfathers heels.

After the first year Eric and his Grandfather had joined a group of grown men who were heading to the old Sumdac Tower saying it was told people could take refuge there. A place, where someone could actually be safe. So they had headed in an open field when the Pack caught up with them.

It had happened so suddenly. One moment they were in a field walking to the Tower for help when a Pack of four came bounding up chasing them down one by one. Only Eric and His Grandfather had escaped alive but Eric's grandfather had gotten severe deep claw slashes that were seeping out blood by the minute and Eric had many scratches that went up and down that were also bleeding.

"Were almost there Grandpa! Just hold on for one more minute..." Eric hoarsely begged his grandfather. He knew that his grandpa had little more time till he collapsed from exhaustion and lose of blood from the recent Pack mauling.

"Just go on without me Eric! I'll keep them occupied just enough so you can escape!" Eric's Grandfather said with less convection with each word.

Eric shivered still getting a cold chill from those simple words. He didn't know then that it would be one of the last things His Grandfather would ever say....

"NO! I won't leave you Grandpa! Not ever!" Eric cried out trying to hold his grandfather up as they neared the Tower.

"Help! Somebody! My Grandfathers hurt!" Eric shouted banging against the force field. A young woman with a nasty scar on her cheek came out shouting upward to someone to shut off the force field. Eric held on to his Grandfather as a chilling howl went through the air not five feet away. The force field began to lift when a Pack dog, as big as a horse, came creeping up behind the two males. Eric's Grandfather saw it and straightened up shouting

"I Love You Eric!" As he pushed Eric forward and ran into the darkness to face the looming Pack Dog. Eric landed face down in the dirt but quickly turned to see his loving Grandfather disappear into the darkness.

"Grandpa! NO!" Eric Screamed in angst running trying to beat the closing force field. The girl with the scar held him by the arms with strength Eric never knew girls had saying

"It's too late kid! He's gone!"

Eric cried out but...tears would not fall. Even when he heard a distant howl of pain then silence from his loving Grandfather...tears would not come. The girl with the scar hosted him upward helping him inside for a girl named Riana would at least try to help fix his wounds.

"Like Riana knew what she was doing..." Eric said sarcastically.

Eric did most of the "fixing up" for himself getting unspoken respect from Huntress and Riana. Soon little by little Eric took over the Medic part of survivors using all his knowledge his Grandfather gave him to good use. That way in small places...his Grandpa would be remembered. Slowly Huntress tried to train him but sadly Eric's fighting skills only went to expert marksmen. Other than that Eric was thought more as a healer than a fighter.

"And that's where I am now....healing whoever is left on....Earth." Eric said quietly then turned around to see if Huntress was looking. She was too occupied with keeping up with Abby's frantic swinging of the nunchucks almost knocking both each other flat on the ground. Seeing Huntress wasn't paying any attention to him Eric sighed in relief. If she heard him use the old planets name we'll....let's just say things wouldn't be pretty.

Eric didn't know why Huntress got so worked up with simple things like that. Riana had said once it was from her family leaving then dying tragically but Eric still didn't think that gave a reasonable excuse. The last of his family had died but you didn't see Eric cutting his hair, flying on a weird bird animal and giving scowls all the time did you? No...but people dealt with lose in their own ways..

"Sometimes just a little stranger than usual..." Eric finished his line of thought. He pressed down the hatch and looked up with pride to see the force field mechanism up and running once more. The poor thing had not been built for this kind of long use but the machine was plugging along beating the odds....like everything else here.

"Can I stop now? My head hurts." Abby said rubbing her head from repeated hits with the nunchucks. Huntress sighed but nodded grabbing the weapons out of Abby's hands putting them away in the safe across the room. As Eric saw Huntress' back turned putting the weapons in their proper place, he slipped up to Abby saying quiet encouragement

"Hey don't feel bad. I hit somewhere a little more....sensitive when I tried nunchucks than you did just hitting your head."

Abby smiled looking up at him and Eric enjoyed the nod of thanks that oddly looked like a little puppy trying to shake a toy. Seeing the window of opportunity closing, with Huntress shutting the safe doors, Eric quickly leaned over into Abby's ear whispering

"Guess who gets to teach you how to shoot a bow and arrow tomorrow?"

Abby looked up at him with eyes bright asking "You?"

Eric nodded smiling and Abby put her hand over her mouth trying to keep from squealing in joy. Huntress was by now walking back and noticed the look of excitement on Abby's face. She gave a stern look at Eric saying "You told her."

Not a question but a accusing statement. Eric shrugged innocently saying "Hey I didn't know it was such a secret."

Huntress shook her head putting her hands on her hips. Eric got the clue that she was mad and said quickly "Hey Abby. Let's go get something to eat.."

Then he gently grabbed her shoulder pushing her to the old Sumdac Apartment. The old kitchen there was the makeshift place to get food and only a few knew that. The last thing anyone needed was a huge heard of people cleaning them out of the limited food supplies.

Huntress watched them go and gave a big sigh when they left. Eric was many things...but a Liar? Not on your life. She didn't stay in the training room but exited to the Main Lobby to go to her room.

She had wanted to go out on Swoop to fight but sadly Riana had put her foot down on Huntress staying for the rest of the day. Riana had said it was because of the force field down the last thing they needed was the Tower left with one less fighter but it didn't mean Huntress had to be happy about it. Unbenounced to her that it was one of the smartest decisions Riana had ever made.....

*In the Middle of the Atlantic Ocean*

In the depths of a cold crater in the bottom of the South Atlantic Ocean....something moved. A ten foot bulge sent a bright blue light cascading up to the sky and back to a tiny, almost microscopic size, blue crystal like object imbedded in the big bulges head. Slowly the unknown bulge began to sit up looking oddly familiar as the currents swept around and through its body. It colors were faded but clear gray wings were shown and a deep purple symbol, oddly similar to a Foxes head, came perturbing through the big bulges identical wings. Some would scream shouting Aliens and....they would be close. Only a few would actually know the "Aliens" real name. Even more fewer would know who side he was on.

Starscream, Second in Command to the Decepticons.

"What happened?" Starscream thought groggy looking around his surroundings. Slowly the past incident of how he went offline came to a head making Starscream shutter from anger.

"How dare that little Autobots SCUM take ME OFFLINE!!" Starscream ranted scaring away a school of fish. He brushed off with disgust the seaweed that had collected on his immobile body of forever how long he had been offline. When he was cleared of the ocean scum he turned on his boosters. Shooting through the ocean water, at speeds man could only dream about, Starscream muttered in anger

"When I find out WHERE I am I SWEAR to take my REVENGE on that AUTOBOT SCUM that DARED to get rid of ME!!"

Starscream then smirked adding "Then maybe I will relieve the Autobots of the All spark and FINALLY have my REVENGE on MEGATRON!! MAKING ME THE RIGHTFULL RULER OF THE DECEPTICONS!!"

*On Madagascar East of Africa*

Blackaracnia tanned her organic robotic side out in the rough South African air leaning on a nearby sand bar. After Waspinator had finally "pulled himself together" both had tried to escape South Africa but Waspinator's wings were not strong enough to carry them both across the Atlantic Ocean. So Blackaracnia did what she always does....wait, enjoy the sun, enjoy the beach and see if anyone of their old Decepticon buddies would come to "rescue" her. She smirked also knowing it gave her time to plan out her Revenge on Sentinal and Optimus.

"Waspinator hate weird bright orb!!" Waspinator whined sitting down hard on the plain grass. "Waspinator is HOT!! Waspinator don't like to be HOT!!"

She pulled down her makeshift sunglasses looking in the direction of a giant Wasp like creature whining out complaints, bored out of his "somewhat" sane mind. She sighed pulling the makeshift glasses on her optics leaning back ignoring him.

"Is Spider-bot listening to me!?" Waspinator shouted angrily kicking up sand at Blackaracnia.

She spit out the dust and lowered the sunglasses glaring daggers at Waspinator. Waspinator cringed a little from the cold organic/robotic optics that bored right into Waspinator's spark.

"Do NOT kick sand on me again! Clear!" Blackarania hissed leaning close to Waspinator's face plate. He nodded quickly backing off while Blackaracnia stood slowly up shaking off the last bit of sand only glaring quickly at Wasp while she did it. She then came up to Waspinator coaxing his chest plate seductively making Waspinator shutter in enjoyment. Blackarania smirked then slithered her hand up to Waspinator's cheek rubbing it "lovingly" whispering with seduction

"Don't worry my pet...we will be off this spark forsaken Continent soon."

"How does Spider-bot know? Waspinator only see puny humans." Waspinator replied. Blackaracnia stopped rubbing against him and walked to the beaches sandy edge, her hips moving slowly from side to side. She watched the ocean move up and down along the shore noticing a weird phenomenon occurring in the sea water. Ignoring it for the moment Blackaracnia turned to Waspinator cooning

"I just know my pet.....Trust me."

Waspinator nodded but his smile slowly turned to wide eyes and blank expression. Fearing he was "losing a gear" Blackaracnia backed up but noticed he slowly pointed out to the ocean. Seeing the motion Blackaracnia turned back slowly to the ocean seeing large bubbles billowing in unison and glowing a bright purple. She leaned closer and jumped back a little seeing a huge object shoot upward into the sky. Blackaracnia frowned in annoyance and a *Oh its HIM...ugh!* look as she saw Starscream hovered above looking around franticly. He looked down noticing the Robots and smirked saying arrogantly

"Look who FIANLLY decided to show up!"

Blackarania shook her head in annoyance as Starscream smirked bigger and Waspinator looked confused asking

"Spider-bot know Flying bot?"

"Regrettably....yes." Blackaracnia replied crossing her arms against her chest. Starscream chuckled loudly then became serious saying in speech mode

"Come my subjects!! Aid me in taking MY REVENGE on the PROTECTORS OF DETROIT!! Together we will vanquish this en...."

"Stop blabbering you Glitch head! Were not in Detroit, so we can't help you take your revenge!" Blackarania replied sarcastically. She smirked in enjoyment seeing Starscream finally NOT know what to say looking very confused. It didn't last long because Starscream frowned shouting

"Then where the Spark are we?"

"We'll maybe if you come down I might just tell you! But STOP SCREAMING!" Blackarancnia shouted with sarcasm. "It's annoying!"

Starscream frown but obeyed slowly coming to ground...quietly. When he finally landed Blackaracnia sighed then explained with annoyance

"We are in South Africa! A whole ocean away from Detroit."

Starscream seemed to understand nodding in silence for a while as Waspinator stared him down. The techorganic mech was freaking him out but Starscream tried to ignore him saying calmly with a hint of sarcasm

"Then why haven't you left this South Africa already? To fat to have the mech carry you?"

Blackaracnia gave him a cold glare hating the joy he got from seeing her get flustered by him. She always HATED Starscream because he was the only Mech in the UNIVERSE who just pushed Blackaracnia buttons!

"Do not call me fat!!" Blackaracnia hissed her fist clenched ready to punch Starscream's lights out. He tensed ready for a fight but got a surprise when Blackaracnia said calmly

"After the experiment went wrong, Waspinator's wings cannot take the long distance carrying TWO robots! He could go on his own but..."

She looked in the direction of the giant bug who was fascinated with his shadow waving his arms franticly and shook her head. Then leaning close to Starscream, Blackaracnia hissed

"The crazy bot won't leave me alone for ten nanoclicks!"

Starscream smirked reeling in Blackaracnia's predicament. She needed him now which meant he could finagle this "deal" to his own gain. Leaning into her ear Starscream smarted off

"You're in quiet a predicament Blackarania! Seems you should be nicer to me if you want to go back to Detroit..."

"What do you want Starscream." Blackaracnia smarted back glaring daggers at Starscream. He smirked bigger saying

"I'll make you a deal....You help me defeat Megatron and offline the disgusting Autobot who TRIED to offline me and.....you get off this island and Optimus WITH Sentinal are yours to deal with as you please."

"You're crazy if you think I would ever consider for a NANOCLICK that stupid deal...." Blackaracnia hissed unfolding her arms putting them on her hips in anger.

"What is stupid about it? You get what you want....I get what I want...." Starscream replied arrogantly bobbing his head in a haughty way.

Blackaracnia sighed in anger knowing Starscream was right and succumbed to the temptation hissing "Deal. Now get me out of here."

Starscream smirked wider grabbing her hand softly. She squeezed it tightly making him squeak hearing her hiss "Don't get ANY ideas!"

"Never dream of it..." Starscream replied tensely as she let go of her death grip handshake.

Waspinator grew beat red saying "Fly-bot back off Spider-bot! Spider-bot is Waspinator's friend!!"

Starscream raised his eyes brow at Waspinator then glanced at Blackarania for a moment. Then raising both eye brows Starscream looked at Blackaracnia asking

"Friend?"

"Don't ask." Blackaracnia replied her mouth clenched.

Shrugging his shoulders Starscream held on more tightly to Blackaracnia's hand flying skyward as Waspinator flew close behind. None knew that Detroit was not the one they remembered or, the little organic girl, who use to annoy them more than a threat. She had changed....and they were in for a world of hurt.

*Sumdac Tower*

"Huntress!!" Riana fearful scream went up to rooms above.

Huntress looked up from her cleaning her room and ran to her old room door to see what was wrong. She didn't have look hard for the danger was right smack dab in front of the entrance....

Pack Dogs.

Huntress' eyes grew cold and she grabbed her holster running down the stairs two at a time while Riana ran up right next to Huntress grabbing her nunchucks on her holster also. Both looked at each other, the entrance coming up fast, as Huntress shouted

"Why are they here? They haven't come even near here in months!"

"I don't know! I was walking in to the Medic room to check on the patients when I saw the first one running around to the entrance! Then when I went to check I saw the three of them pacing in the front area!" Riana shouted in reply a hint of fear in each syllable.

Huntress could understand the fear. One Pack Dog was manageable, Two Pack Dogs were a handful but Three Pack Dogs, the size of large trucks, were a nightmare. Not only were they difficult to corner picking them off one by one but it seemed like they communicated in some way letting each other know when they were in danger helping each other escape before any good fighter could get a good hit.

"We'll luckily they still think the force field is up so if we can distract them long enough...." Huntress said.

"Then you can call Eric on your com link and tell him to turn it on!" Riana finished for her getting a nod in agreement from Huntress.

They came up to the entrance with three Pack Dogs lowering down to pounce and Huntress pulled out her weapon muttering "Let the games begin..."

*The Sumdac Apartment*

"So this was where Huntress Use to live?" Abby asked innocently. Both she and Eric were sitting at a table eating sandwiches not even aware of the battle going on outside. Eric nodded swallowing before answering

"Yea. Seems like Huntress lived her whole life here the way she tells it..."

"Wow...." Abby replied looking down at her sandwich. "That must have really stinked..."

"We'll she did mention once of hanging out with some guys called the Autobots but..." Eric added cheerfully but lowered to a sheepish voice also looking away from Abby to his sandwich "She doesn't like to talk about them..."

Before Abby ask why Eric's little thing in his ear Huntress had told her was a "Comlink" went off. He turned slowly away from Abby putting his left hand's pointer finger on his ear saying

"Talk to me."

"Eric!" Huntress voice shouted back out of breath. Abby looked concerned, obviously overhearing and Eric mimicked the gesture asking

"What's going on? Why are you out of breath?"

"One.... I'm out of breath because THREE Pack Dogs are in front of the entrance of the Tower seeming to be...looking for something.." Huntress replied clearly fighting something because she gave out a grunt from hitting and a yelp resounded in reply. Eric paled but didn't let Abby catch on because letting the girl panic was not an option. Abby didn't need to know right now that THREE Pack Dogs were very hard to beat all at once let alone trying to distract them from the Tower.

"So I will need you in position to shoot up above with the special package safe from harm..got it?" Huntress said while Eric heard Riana shout while smacking a Pack Dog with her nunchucks.

Eric knew at once Huntress was indicating Abby and probably knew that she might be listening which Abby was making a confused face over the remark. Eric didn't let the "How Can Huntress do that?" thought fully cross his mind will replying

"Understood."

"Two....Before you do that I need you to..." Huntress went to reply but Eric cut her off while getting up from the chair.

"You need me to turn on the force field when you give the word. Already on it."

"Correct. Now move it!" Huntress replied cutting the comlink clearly with her hands too full to talk anymore.

Eric let go of the button and grabbed his bow and arrow leaning on the nearby wall while Abby asked with fear in her voice

"What's going on?"

"Can't talk now." Eric quickly replied gently grabbing her with his free right hand. She followed him out the door fear etched on her face while Eric added "Tell you on the way."

*Somewhere across the Atlantic Ocean few miles out from Detroit*

"Will you stop SQIRMING!" Starscream's raspy voice shouted out from his Jet mode. Blackarancnia, who was holding on tightly NOT in Spider mode shouted back

"I Can't help it! You're going to fast!" Then added making Starscream growl

"Are we there yet?"

"For the TENTH Time NO! We are still TEN minutes away!" Starscream shouted in annoyance then added dropping his voice "Another ten minutes of Pit on Earth..."

"What did you say?" Blackaracnia shouted clearly to focused on not flying off to really hear what Starscream had muttered. So he said innocently "Nothing! Just....making conversation."

"Fly-bot better be nice to Spider-bot...." Waspinator shouted with a threatening air. His Wasp's Optics narrowed adding "Of Waspinator show Fly-bot the REAL meaning of Pit on Earth!"

Before Starscream could ponder how Waspinator had heard him, a glimpse of New York's shores came swiftly up. Which meant, that Detroit, was not far behind and Starscream would soon have his Revenge. He laughed haughtily saying

"Wonder if any of the PUNY organics will remember me? Especially that ANNOYING one SARI!"

"What?" Blackaracnia shouted and Starscream didn't answer. He was too busy imagining the look of horror on the Autobots and that little puny organic girl's faces seeing Starscream to wreck havoc on her city once again. Little did he notice while on his little haughty imagination that the other part of the world was WAY different from then he remembered. A much crueller, angry world and that "puny organic girl" was much more viscous than "big old Starscream" could ever imagine her to become.

*Sumdac's Old Office*

Abby entered the room just in time to see Huntress...transform. She grew wide eyed staring at her teacher who seemed to be smacking the day lights out of the nearby Pack Dog.

"I didn't know she could do that!" Abby shouted in awe watching Huntress continue to fight at lightning speed. Eric smirked pulling back the arrow on the bow. The tip was made out of sharp Adamantium and the bow had hard Adamantium sealing on the edges on holding the strong fiber filled string holding the arrow in place.

"If you think that's impressive..." Eric stated concentration. Abby looked up at him seeing Eric smirk putting his face close to the bow targeting while pulling the arrow back tighter adding "Watch this."

*Outside the Entrance*

Huntress was having just enough of this. She side swiped the Pack Dog with the scar on it's paw, that looked oddly familiar, trying to distract it enough to pounce at her. Then Huntress would finish it off for good. The Pack Dog reared around growling fiercely ready to lower down while Huntress mentally coaxed it until....

"Huntress! I need you over here now!" Riana shouted hitting a Pack Dog who had one eye missing in the empty eye socket.

The Pack Dog didn't miss a beat dodging the nunchuck and trying to bate Riana around like giant soccer ball. Riana already had flipped backwards hitting the Pack Dog square in the jaw. Huntress wanted at first to shout back she didn't need her help when Huntress saw the second Pack Dog crouching behind a distracted Riana.

So Huntress twirled the left hand knife quickly in the air grabbing it with the blade upward to the sky and swung it across the Pack dog with the scared foot slitting it's metal above the eyes wide open. While it yelped shielding back in pain bleeding fluid all over, Huntress ran straight into the second Pack Dog behind Riana hitting hard into it with her robotic left shoulder. It was sent rolling a few feet and stopped only by a large brick building with an add and a sign above of "Action Movies! Get them here at Rent a Movie!". The irony didn't get past both girls as Riana looked back saying

"Thanks."

"No Problem. Anytime" Huntress, sarcastically, replied.

The Pack Dog that ploughed into the Movie store was not out of the fight just yet quickly shaking the dust off it's back and growling at the girls stalking forward. Huntress saw both she and Riana's backs were exposed and quickly turned back to back with Riana as the third Pack dog with the scar and now bleeding forehead, also came stalking up to Huntress.

With both girls back to back, Riana facing one Pack Dog, Huntress facing Two, it seemed like they were losing which was not good. IF they lost...so did Eric, Abby and all the other people in the Sumdac Tower taking refuge. Riana at that moment asked with irritation

"I thought you told Eric to be in position?"

"I did." Huntress curtly replied concentrating on the Pack Dog with the Scar who got just a little too close. Before Riana asked something else, both quickly stepped forward exposing their backs to fight. Huntress quickly jumped, swinging her right foot, kicking the Pack Dog with the scar to her left, across the face. It hunkered down from the hard kick while the other snapped at Huntress but took a few steps backward a little intimidated. Riana took her nunchucks swinging them down hard on the Pack Dogs upper head knocking it down it's chin hitting the floor. Both went back to back again with each other while Riana asked angrily

"Then where is he?"

"Probably right about..." Huntress replied when a dark object shot threw the sky. It hit squarely into the Pack Dog who had hit the Movie store directly in the upper head. It pierced right through upper ear into the main area of the brain and the Pack Dog hit the ground....dead on impact.

"Now." Huntress finished smirking as Riana rolled her eyes.

"He's such a show off." Riana stated ducking from a large right paw swinging near her heads direction. Huntress smirked wider and continued to fight off the remaining Pack Dog who seemed more agitated looking around upward and backward looking for the source of the flying killing sticks.

*Sumdac's Old Office*

"That was amazing!" Abby shouted out watching was the Pack Dog dropped then was motionless.

"Thank you. Thank you." Eric said half bowing from a make believe audience.

Abby giggled but continued to look out the window to the scene below. Eric while basking in his success made a crucial mistake. He didn't go back instantly into the fight and...it almost cost him. Eric looked up from his bowing to see Abby's face turn from a smile to horror.

"Look!" Abby screamed terrified and Eric turned to see the thing that had caused a giggling child to cry out in terror.

It was Huntress who was fighting off the Pack Dog by the mouth. Her back to the ground.

"Oh Slag!" Eric cried out fumbling with the arrow into the bow.

It finally made it to the string but by then Huntress had got the Pack Dog off her and now Riana was pulling her away from the Pack Dog while Huntress got up. Eric sighed in relief lowering the bow while Abby glared at him. Eric understood and with quilt looked away, focusing more on the fight going on below.

*Outside Sumdac Tower*

Huntress made a mental note to chew out Eric the moment she saw him. Riana helped her to her feet saying angrily upward

"What the slagging, spark was that?!"

Huntress smirked hearing Riana curse for the few times she had ever heard the usually uprightous, caring, leader like person, curse a blue streak. Riana had to be really POed to yell at Eric AND curse. No reply came back but Huntress noticed something. The sun glinted on the window showing Abby's concerned face and....

Huntress paled instantly making Riana look down in concern. She slightly shook Huntress by the shoulder asking

"Are You ok?"

Huntress didn't answer staring at the object on Abby's neck. Nothing could deny the shape and figure of the object as the sun caught it making it slightly shine from up above. Huntress screamed inside "My Key! How did Abigail get my Key?! I hide it at...but HOW did she get there to find it?

As the thoughts bubbled inside, Huntress noticed the Pack dog with the scared paw look upward growling at something. Then the thought hit her cold...they were coming for the key. That meant they wanted Abby....and when they finally got the key, making Abby no further use to them, they would...

Huntress shook that horrible thought away and ran to the Pack Dog shouting over her shoulder "They want Abby!"

"Why?" Riana shouted near the running Huntress.

"I'll explain later! Just keep them from getting to....!" Huntress replied then stopped short.

While running to the Pack Dog and ready to fight the Pack Dog suddenly turned quickly. It lashed out it's left claws swinging them at Huntress, Hitting her square across the chest. She flew downward her chest slightly bleeding and Huntress went into fetal position from the shear pain that shooted across her chest.

"Huntress!" Riana screamed in fear running towards the cowering Huntress. Sadly she was blocked off by the Pack Dog with the missing eye and Riana heard a faint angst cry from up above.

*Sumdac's Old Office*

Abby screamed in angst watching Huntress motionless as Eric went to raise his bow to shoot the Pack Dog blocking Riana. He didn't get far when Eric saw out of the corner of his eye Abby running to the door in a hurry.

"No Abby!" Eric shouted grabbing her, with his now free left arm from, leaving the room. Abby squirmed under his hands wrapped around her but Eric gripped her tight keeping her from going outside.

"She'll Die!" Abby cried in tears. She looked out the window to see the Pack Dog looming over Huntress growling viscously snapping it's teeth. Eric loosened his grip saying firmly

"Huntress can handle it Abby! She's dealt with this kind of thing before."

Abby stopped struggling and Eric let go of her all the way kneeling down to her level. She looked into Eric's eyes that showed comfort and his voice to match add

"Now come on.."

"Where are we going?" Abby asked her face still red from the tears.

Eric knelt back up and walked over to the door saying determined

"I may only know how to fix a human BUT I will try my slaggist to get that force field up and running."

Abby watched him go then looked back at Huntress outside and lowered her eyebrows in determination. She wiped her eyes following Eric to the control room hoping that Riana and Huntress could just hold on.

*Outside the Sumdac Tower*

Riana hit the ground with her razor sharp throwing star circling around the Pack Dog with the missing eye coaxing him to pounce. Riana only used the stars for emergencies and distractions keeping them safe on her hip pouch till she needed them....like now.

She growled in aggression to where he growled in return and Riana quickly looked over to see Huntress by now pushing upwards on her hands looking around groggily. Riana saw the Pack Dog with the scar had sadistically backed off playing a sickening game of cat and mouse ready to knock Huntress down the moment she got up. Riana narrowed her eyes in anger and looked back at the still growling Pack Dog with the missing eye.

"Come on.....just pounce for dear aunt Riana... you know you want too..." Riana coaxed circling the Pack Dog.

It followed her gaze with its head and then slowly turned to face her. It lowered to the ground, doing a cat like shake on it's bottom and stood there ready to pounce. With one low growl the Pack Dog lunged.

It was the last thing it ever did.

Riana lowered backward one the ground, grabbed the star tighter in her hands, and swung across the Pack's belly. It cried out in pain rolling around till it stopped a few feet from her. It's inside spilled out but the animal kept continuing to move trying to get back up. Riana stared coldly at the animal knowing it was already dead and turned away ready to defend her friend.

Huntress had thought the pain was going to drive her mad. Luckily the sting wore down and Huntress slowly looked up to see the last Pack Dog crouching for the kill. She narrowed her eyes ready to dodge quickly when Riana ran in between them both. Huntress got up quickly ignoring the pain that shot through her shouting

"I can handle this Riana! Move!"

"Not on your life!" Riana shouted back running up to the Pack Dog. Sadly Riana let her fear for her friend blind her actions and didn't get far.

*Inside the Main Lobby*

Eric and Abby came running to the gaping hole on the side of Sumdac Tower just in time to see Riana land in a heap a few feet in front of them.

"Riana!" Huntress shouted looking at Riana who remained immobile. The Pack Dog turned to face her and Huntress slit her right knife across the females dog lip making it yelp and fall back. She turned and ran over to Riana muttering

"Please No! Not Riana! She better not be dead or I'll kill...."

Huntress literally threw herself on the ground next to Riana and let her shoulders down in relief seeing Riana move a little in the legs. Riana still covered up her head which was thankfully not bleeding but her neck had a large scratch that slowly oozed out blood.

"Riana? Can you hear me?" Huntress asked worried leaning Riana up in a sitting position. Riana didn't respond her eyes closed and her lips in a tight thin line.

"Riana!" Huntress yelled in hysterics shaking Riana slightly. She heard a small moan and Huntress leaned into hear Riana mutter

"Loud much?"

Huntress shook her head looking down to see Riana open her eyes half way giving a small smirk. Huntress shook her playfully saying

"You big faker! Don't scare me like that!"

Riana's larger smirk turned to a thin fearful line and her eyes widen looking at something behind Huntress. Huntress saw the shadow and turned to see the female pack dog

Two inches from her face.

"Huntress!" Abby yelled in fear and ran to Huntress.

Eric grabbed hold of her by the arms pulling her back and barley kept her from running out the open entrance to the Sumdac Tower. She cried and watched in horror as the Pack Dog leaned down to position herself for Huntress's jugular. Huntress froze trying to shield Riana with her right arm from the inevitable attack.

Eric went into action and switched to his right arm with Abby trying to slide slowly across the ground reaching for the red circuit breaker. If he could just pull it down the force field would activate and Huntress would be saved but with Abby fighting him the way she was....it seemed almost impossible.

As Abby continued to cry with her face red she suddenly felt the same heat coming from her chest. She looked down to see the key out of her shirt reaching forward and glowing like it had never glowed before. Suddenly the world slowed down to a crawl as Abby thought of a name she suddenly felt a terrible urge to say,

"SARI!!" Abby screamed in slow motion.

Huntress turned slowly facing Abby in pure confusion when a bright blue light went cascading through the sky. Huntress paled only thinking "Wow it never did that kind of thing for me..."

As the energy of the Key shoot through the sky, it looked oddly like a large, straight lightning bolt that originated from Abby's chest and went through the sky above. The Pack Dog growled but stepped back further and further away clearly frightnened. Soon both Pack Dogs ran away clearly one yelping oddly sounding like a hurt puppy dog than a viscous monster. Huntress, half dazed in the suddenly slow moving time, smirked thinking "At least I know now what scares them for a change..."

But as the line went bigger, Huntress smirked disappeared as she tried to shield Riana from any "unnatural" energy.

Huntress watched in eerie silence, a small ringing in the air, as Riana's mouth went agape and Eric was thrown away from Abby as suddenly the world went a bright blue.

That was.....AWSOME!! If I do say so myself. : )

So what do you think? Enough action for ya?

Ok I know I probably gave it away with you readers seeing the bright glowing object on Abby in chapter Three but...I couldn't resist spicing up the action a little....

If you haven't caught on by now the key was SARI'S!! *All look shocked still watching the blue energy shot through the sky*

*I watch too smirking in fun* Yea I wanted to show a closer bond between Sari and Abby and I thought why not give Abby a piece of Sari's childhood and why not have it save her in the end? Create a kind of past helps protect the future kind of thing. ^_^

Ok if you haven't fainted in suspense I ask you to please REVIEW!

*I grab a bag of Popcorn and a lounge chair while the sky turns energon blue*

Me: Oh Pretty lights! *I grab a handful of popcorn and stuff it into my mouth still watching the spectacle play out*
