Water Toa A/n: You know, I noticed a while back that all my chapters look a lot smaller on here. I blame Microsoft. Oh well, here's a longer chapter. Thank you everyone the reviewed, favorited and alerted this!

Chapter Four

Speed Strikes p.o.v

It's been two weeks since I've come to Earth, and I'm bored out of my processor.

Well, not really that bored per say. I'm lying on my side reading 'THE LOST HERO' huge book version made for me. My team and I saved a famous book company a few days ago and to repay us they promised to make large versions of any book they had for us when ever we'd like. Pretty cool, huh? I've already read the whole Percy Jackson Olympian series.

While I kind of expected more excitement, the easy going, almost lazy life style is pretty good. I figured Optimus Prime would be uptight, commanding, and maybe a little bossy and scary. But instead he was nice, smart, I guess a bit commanding, and while he's been a hero for a while now; he still is getting used to it and didn't have an ego. Apparently, according to the others, he has a temper too but I haven't seen it. But there is one thing I have come to hate about him: his speeches. Seriously, he can talk you to death. Even if the speech itself is short, you'd want to run and hide somewhere far, far, FAR away. FAR I tell you!

I've had to go through three already! And they weren't even my fault. I mean, seriously, I'm just there and I can't leave without a reason; I'd end up insulting him and maybe turning the speech totally on me. I could turn off my audios but then I'd miss the ending when we're dismissed. And it's kind of hard to read his lips even though their full normal lips for a guy. I wonder if he's a good kisser.

A knock at my door brought me out of my thoughts. "Yes?" I called sitting up, the book still in hand. The door opened and in walked Sari. I've become a pretty good friend with her these last two weeks. "Hi, Speed. How are you doing?" Sari asked.

I placed my hand on the ground and she walked on. I lifted her up and she jumped onto my bed. "I'm fine. I started the next Olympian book today. It's great!" I answered. Sari laughed, well, naturally to me and I smiled back. I crossed my legs on the bed and peered down at her. "So, what's up?" I asked her.

"Well, I need some new stuff and the grocery bot back home broke down. I was hoping Bee would come with me to the mall but he got Prowl watching a movie with him," Sari said then added. "Somehow." "So you were hoping I could take you." I guessed matter-of-factly. Sari nodded. "Pleaseeeeee? It will only be for an hour, tops." "Weeeeelllll," I said thoughtfully, rubbing my chin. Sari pulled out the 'anime eyes' on me and I chuckled. "Alright, alright! I'll come." "Yes!" Sari fist pumped and I laughed.

"And maybe we can go to the amusement park too! I've been dying to show it to you!" she said excitedly. "Sure." I said. I've never been to an, 'amusement park' before. They don't have those on Cybertron. "Why don't we ask Arcee to come with us?" Sari asked as I stood up and quickly put the book in subspace for later. I shook my head with a sly smile. "We can't. She and Ratchet have plans. Something about giving her a tour around Detroit." I said with a giggle. I saw the look in the medics' eye. He had feelings for Arcee but was taking it slow, like a smart person. Especially with her, what with the memory loss and everything. Personally, I think they'd make a great couple. Sari nodded with understanding and when I helped her down we walked out. Sari was going over her plans and telling me of all the cool things to do at the park while I just nodded and smiled.

The two of us journeyed to the main room to find Bumblebee and Prowl watching TV. "Hey guys!" Sari called out as the two turned to her. "We're off!"

"Ok, have fun. And if you find out about anymore races let me know." Bee said turning his head back to the TV. Apparently it was a kung fu movie with a panda or something fighting. Must have been good if Prowl was watching too. Or he lost a bet.

Yep, most likely that.

"We will." I replied then transformed down into my earth mode. I'm a Ducati 848 and much cuter then my Cybertronian mode in my opinion. Sari jumped on top of me, which didn't hurt as must as you might think but it did feel weird, and transformed her helmet onto her head.

"Let's go!" She cried excitedly. If I could I would have smiled. I revved my engine and popped a wheelie then took off out of the building. "Tell Prime where were going!" I called back before turning a corner. The drive didn't take long and soon I parked in the malls' parking lot in the shade. Sari slipped off and put the helmet away. "Ok, I'll be right back, Speed. 10 minutes, tops." "Alright." I said, my head lights blinking with my words. "I'll be right here." Sari rushed into the building, giving me a wave before disappearing inside. "Now, about that book…" I muttered transforming back into robot mode and I leaned on a support beam and pulled the book out of subspace.

Ten minutes, then twenty went by and Sari was still inside. I had started to get worried and was thinking about calling her phone when I heard her coming towards me. I turned my head and blinked. "That's all you got? You were in there for twenty minutes, what took you?" I asked bewildered. All Sari had was two bags and both were small. "I had to get a snack." Sari said nonchalantly with a shrug, "A snack?" I asked even more confused. "Yeah, there was a line to Burger King. And then I walked around the mall looking for the Game Stop and when I found it didn't have the game I wanted. So I went to Bath and Body Works and got some more stuff." Sari explained holding up the first bag. "The second bag has some new jewelry from another shop."

I rolled my eyes. "You human females are as obsessed with shopping as femmes back home." "Aw, come on." Sari said teasingly as she gave me the bags so I can put them in subspace. "I'm sure you've done a lot of shopping." "Nope." I said simply then transformed back down. Sari climbed on and I drove out of the parking lot. We started for the edge of town where the amusement park was. As we did I turned on my radio and started listening to one of the songs. ~Hmm, nice song. Hey, this is the song I heard yesterday. ~

"Wow, is that you singing, Speed Strike?" Sari asked me suddenly. "Huh, what?" I asked startled. "What are talking about, Sari?" Sari leaned closer as we drew near to the park, her eyes glowing with mirth. "I know that song and I've never heard a second voice. I wonder where it came from." ~Opps.~ I thought and if I could I'd be chewing my lip. It didn't want anyone to hear my voice. It really stinks so I never sing unless I'm alone. "It's nothing, Sari. Oh look, the turn off!" Sari shrieked in surprise as I did a quick turn and drove to the parking lot for the park. "Robot World?" I giggled at the name as Sari got off my, giving me the stink eye. "Seriously?" Sari shrugged. "When you live in a state with robot protectors, it's not too surprising. Now come on!"

Deep in space, far from Earth, Megatron stared. Tied down to a large berth, his injuries mostly gone from his battle gone wrong, stasis cuffs ready to active with one wrong move, and his proton gun taken from him, he was watched 24/7. He had to give them credit; the Autobots weren't taking chances. With cameras in the cell hidden to watch his every move, guards in front of each of the five latched doors, and scanners in front of each door to detect any Decepticon energy no one would be dumb enough to try to recues the Chaos Bringer.

But how could they? No one except a select few knew where he was held. Weak as those Autobots are, they did have some brains. To Decepticon knowledge there were five major jails the high ranking Cons could go. Each one on a different planet in a different part of space under Autobot control. With only a few bots in the know his Cons could attack any of the jails just to find out it was the wrong one.

But Megatron knew he still had a chance. While the guards jeered and mocked him, he stayed silent. Not a word was spoken, not even in his recharge. He waited patiently, knowing that soon, he didn't know when but soon, he will be liberated. Think about it, he doesn't have a beta team for nothing.
