Chapter 4: Capture
Hasbro Owns Transformers Animated
Optimus Prime and his crew were talking with the council of what to do about the decepticon jail break. The decision was made that Omega Supreme would stay on Cybertron for an emergency while Optimus, his crew, and the jet twins should return to earth to find any other decepticons that are still there, and stay on the lookout for any more that might return to Earth for the rest of the Allspark shards. "When do we leave sir?" asked Optimus to Alpha Trion, "You and your team will leave in about five mega cycles" "Yes sir" he replied.
On the moon,
Starscream had transferred to Skywarp's body because if he could ever get the fragile Skywarp to shut up, work, and (if there was an emergency) to fight, he would need to do it himself. He also found a way to take full control of his body so that he wouldn't even hear his annoying excuses. "What is taking so long? You've only fixed twenty clones within the last mega cycle!" Starcream yelled impatiently. "Then why don't you just help us instead of just sitting there telling us how to do things we already know how to!" Slipstream yelled back. Then Starscream stood up, "Silence, I give the orders around here! And if you want to keep your body, I suggest you listen" Then he calmed himself and looked out the window towards Earth then back to the clones, "Now you two keep on working, I am going back to Earth to find some Allspark fragments for my new body and the other clones. And you better show proof of work by the time I get back or I will rip your fragment pieces right out of your colorless spark chamber instead" he said sternly, pointing a finger at them. Then he went outside, transformed and flew off. "Finally, we can work at peace" said Slipstream. "Now you must do as I say" said Thundercracker, "Now hand me a..." CRASH! Slipstream had thrown a clone on top of him, "Or maybe not" she sighed.
On top of Sumdac Tower,
The space bridge opened up as the autobots one by one jumped out. "Feels good to be back in Detroit, the city of responsibilities" said Bumblebee. "You mean the responsibility of playing video games?" teased Sari. "Well someone has to show the twins how to have a little fun" "Whatever" Sari said rolling her eyes. Then Jazz spoke to Optimus, "So the council let you hold on to the magnus hammer?" then Optimus replied, "they figured it would be for the best just in case Megatron decided to return here" "and they probably because don't trust SP with it" replied Jazz. Optimus grinned, "thats also possible" Just then, professor Sumdac came up and ran to Sari, who quickly gave him a hug, "Its good to see you again Sari" "you too, dad" she replied, "Optimus, I think I'll stay here for the night" "Alright Sari" he said. After making their way outside the front door of Sumdac Tower Optimus turned to his crew, "Alright, lets head back to base and get set up. We will need to be ready for any decepticon attacks. Now transform and roll out!" And with that, they each transformed, drove (and flew) off.
On dinobot island,
"Why should I help you?" said Blackarachnia with maximals behind her, "because I will get what you need for your little project and I won't give it to you until you finish making it for me" "Alright fine, but it will be a fair trade. You won't get your little device either until you get me the yellow bot" "alright, alright, fine" said Starscream as he transformed and flew away. Just then the dinobots came out of the bush and stopped in front of the maximals, transforming into their robot modes, "Spider-bot lady belongs to me Grimlock. Dinobots destroy!" as he pulled out his flaming sword. Then the maximals transformed in to their robot modes as well, getting ready to attack. "Just great" Blackarachnia whispered.
Back at the autobot's base,
Bumblebee was showing the Jetfire and Jetstorm how to play Ninja Gladiator, while Bulkhead and Jazz silently watched. Ratchet and Arcee were at the opposite side of the room talking, and Optimus was alone at the monitors. Then Sari came running in, "guys I need your help fast!" "Whats wrong Sari?" asked Optimus. Just then, a loud crash was heard and through the roof came Starscream holding professor Sumdac, "surrender the yellow autobot and your little organic friend here won't get hurt" Starscream said. While he was talking, Sari had snuck behind him, jumped up and slammed Starscream in the head using her hammer, causing him to drop Isaac Sumdac, then Bumblebee quickly ran up and caught him. Starscream had quickly turned around and shot Sari into the wall. Ratchet quickly went to Sari to make sure she was alright. And while the rest of the autobots started to attack, Starscream turned around fast and shot his null ray at Bumblebee's head while he was putting the proffesor down, and knocked him out. Jazz quickly swung his nun chuck at Starscream making him fall into a stack of crates and all the autobots quickly surrounded the crates ready to attack. Starscream got up and saw he was surrounded, "I better do something fast" he thought. Then before the autobots had a chance to do anything, Starscream quickly flew and charged at Jazz knocking him on to the floor, grabbed Bumblebee, and flew out through the hole he made in the roof. "Bumblebee!" yelled Bulkhead. "What does ol' Screamer want with BB?" asked Jazz, "I don't know, but we better find out and fast. Jazz and Bulkhead, try to find and follow him. If you can't find him then do a search by any possible hideouts around Detroit. I'll go do a search with the jet twins at dinobot island. We have to try and locate Bumblebee's energy signature." "Right away bossbot" replied Bulkhead, "Got it OP" said Jazz. Then they transformed and drove out of the base. After they left, Optimus walked over to Ratchet and Arcee, "how is Sari?" "she should be alright, she was lucky to be in robot mode or else it could have been a lot worse" replied Ratchet, "now don't worry about us, just try to find Bumblebee." Optimus nodded, "Alright, take care you two" "and you as well Prime" replied Ratchet as the jet twins and Optimus activating his jetpack flew out.
Back on dinobot island,
Blackarachnia had finally got the dinobots and maximals to stop fighting, calmed down, and were now waiting for Starscream. Just then Starscream flew over, transformed to his robot mode, and landed in front of Blackarachnia. "Here is your little test subject" he said as he dropped the knocked out Bumblebee on the ground in front of him. "Now hand over the device" "Sorry Screamer" she said as the maximals and dinobots came out of the bush and surrounded him (except for Cheetor who brought Bumblebee to Blackarachnia, "But I'm going need this device for myself." All furious, Starscream left Skywarp's body, making him fall, and went into Swoop, "I don't think so" he said as he quickly flew towards Blackarachnia, grabbed the device from her hands, and flew away as fast as he could, laughing in his evil way. Blackarachnia couldn't believe what happened, "Starscream is some sort of ghost?" Just then Skywarp got up, "Don't leave me alone out here, wait for me!" he said as he took off. "Just great" she said, then she looked at Bumblebee, "Well at least it wasn't a total loss" she whispered.
Detroit,
Starscream landed inside an old warehouse and looked at the device, "Its a good thing those dumb ninja bots didn't take all the fragments on me. And with this fragment locator, I should be able to find them all!" "Not this time, decepticon" Starscream quickly looked up spotting Jazz and Bulkhead in the doorway with their weapons out and ready. "Ha! You wouldn't dare attack me since I have control of your little dinobot friend here that you wouldn't dare hurt" Just then, a blast came from behind them, knocking both of them out. After that, Skywarp flew in, "I couldn't resist trying that null ray trick myself" he said, grinning proudly. "Um, alright good work" Starscream said, looking at his locater and turning it on. "Now lets grab some fragments and head out of here before anything else happens" and then they both transformed and flew away.
Dinobot island,
Optimus and the twins had landed and had been searching for awhile without finding anything. Then he got a call in his comlink, "Uh boss bot? We have a problem" "Is something wrong Bulkhead?" Optimus answered. "Yeah, big time. Starscream is some sort of ghost or something" "how do you know? And are you sure?" "completely sure, he has somehow taken control of Swoop's body, and has some sort of Allspark fragment locater. We tried to stop him, but something knocked us out from behind and now their gone. And he doesn't have Bumblebee anymore either" "Oh no" "Bossbot? Is everything ok?" "Yeah, I think I have a pretty good idea where Bumblebee is. I don't have time to explain, I'll call you later" Then Optimus transformed into his vehicle mode, and the twins in their jet modes, and they quickly sped off. Soon they came to an opening in the side of a cliff where Blackarachnia had her lab before. They transformed and looked around, "is she even here?" he thought, "Usually there are dinobots or something guarding outside the entrance. But I guess not" just as they were getting close to the opening of the cave to enter, the dinobots and maximals came running out, "dinobots and animal robots destroy intruder!" Grimlock shouted and they transformed. "I guess I was wrong" whispered Optimus. "Looks like its fighting time brother" said Jetfire "yeah, now its time to kick some dumb dino and strange organic robot tailpipes" replied Jetstorm. Then they pulled out their weapons and got ready to attack.
Autobot base,
Sari had just waken and sat up. She scratched her head remembering what happened, "Oh no" she quickly jumped off the berth and ran to the rec. room were Ratchet, Arcee, Bulkhead, and Jazz were talking. "Guys, what happened where is Bumblebee and Optimus? "whoa, whoa, keep it cool SS and we will explain what happened" said Jazz. After they explained, Sari spoke, "what are we going to do?" "Well before we do anything, we have to wait for Optimus and the jet twins to come back from dinobot island first" replied Ratchet. Then their comlinks opened up. They listened and heard Optimus fighting with dinobots and what sounded like something else, and also heard Grimlock talking, "destroy bad truck bot and annoying plane bots" "that doesn't sound too good" said Bulkhead. "Yeah, we better get movin and groovin quickly to dinobot island" added Jazz. "What about me?" asked Sari, "Its my turn to come along" "Sari, we can't risk you getting hurt again" said Ratchet, "and besides there is something else out there besides dinobots that could be even more dangerous" added Bulkhead, Now we have to leave, so stay here and be good." "Ok then, lets move out" said Jazz. Then they all transformed and drove out. After they had gone Sari smirked, "its a good thing you guys can't see me in the sky while your driving under water" Then she activated her jetpack and flew out.
Sorry this one took so long, I'll explain in my profile later. For now I hope you enjoy!
