"Human speech"

It was kinda nice, After having the energon I wasn't getting worn out so quickly. Of course though, Megatron is still being a grump. Although he does seem a bit nicer than yesterday. He had found an air show within the area. Once we were close Megatron stopped and landed close to one of those parking building things, it was older and didn't have too many vehicles, "you're going to have to be stealthy, and quick, I can't come with you. Remember what I told you."

"I know, I know. Scan, concentrate, transform, return." it was a very quick summary to say the least.

"now go. If you take to long I will leave you." because that was comforting.

I kept to the shadows. Sprinting from hiding place, to hiding place. I made it without being noticed. There were a lot of nice planes and jets around, unfortunately to big for me. I wish I was a bit larger, just to be able to scan a viper jet. I had to settle for a Bede BD-5. At least it has a good amount of speed, and a low stall speed. I could just barely use it as an alt mode. Barely. I transformed, though in that brief moment of transforming, a car drove by, I don't think the driver noticed me though.

Now for the challenge. Taking off. It was going to be difficult, considering how I didn't have a holoform, and I don't know the flight lingo and such. I might have to wing it. I made my windows tinted, and taxied through. A lot of people took pictures or videos, probably because of my paint job. I managed to lose them, and taxied out to a grassy field near the airport. Transforming, flying, and then transforming back into my jet mode. I took a wide circle, as to avoid the tower. When I was far enough away I turned towards the parking garage.

I transformed and landed. Megatron was no where to be seen. Panic rose as I searched the area, and Megatron was still not found. I was going to do a more through search, but I heard the engine of a car coming this way. I flew up to the roof tops, and sprawled out across it, peering over the edge. A very nice looking police cruiser pulled into view. It stayed for a while before driving away. As soon as I could no longer hear the engine I took off, remembering to transform as to avoid being spotted so easily. I need to find Megatron, I don't know entirely why, but I need to, I feel it in my spark.

I go back to the junkyard to check if he is there. He isn't. I decided to return to the down town/abandoned area of the city, I checked high and low. Left, right and center. But it was like he vanished. I was alone. Again. After a little more of fruitless searching, I finally gave up, flying off in a random direction. I had been abandoned, I don't think I even took that long! I even took as many measures as I could to make sure I hadn't drawn unwanted attention! He probably sent me out there so that he could leave me.

I ended up in a metropolis, I quickly found an abandoned area to recharge for the night.

I rose with the sun, taking flight once again. I didn't want to stay in one area for a lot of time, at least not alone.

I flew wherever I felt like flying, which was in one General direction. I traveled to a massive scrap yard by the shore, there were sheds and warehouses spread throughout the area, pretty much everything that couldn't fit in the average trash can was here, and with all the machinery around, I could probably find some sort of fuel for myself. I transformed on top of one particularly large pile. I started to explore, I could probably hide out around here for some time.

I headed towards one shed that looked like it hasn't been used in many years. I heard a large jet above me, and it is flying low. I looked up to see an F-22 Raptor, not good. it was probably S-7 I'm sure of it. I hunkered down with the scrap, and hoped they wouldn't notice me. I was not so lucky, the jet took a nose dive for me. It transformed into a massive mech, he landed mere inches from me, before scooping me up and throwing me in the air, in a cruel way, as a cat would a mouse. I let out a small shriek as I hit the ground. "What are you doing, snooping around here little femme?" the raspy voice growled.

I got up, keeping low though. "what does it matter to you."

"How dare you! Do you not know who I am?!" he screeched.

I shook my helm, and shrugged, preparing to grab my swords, "A nacho?" he didn't look like he was that graceful on the ground, Or superb at close quarters combat. Other than using brute force.

My little nacho comment confused him for a moment, before he flew into a rage. "I am Commander Starscream! Second in command of the decepticons!" He made a lunge for me, to which I jumped aside and drew my swords. This seemed to cause him to fly into a bigger fit of rage, he readied the missile launchers on his arms, and took aim.

I then realized how foolish my actions where, he was WAY bigger than me, and had long range weapons, while mine were close range. I would have to get close to inflict damage, and with his size, I do NOT want to get close. As if my day wasn't bad enough, a police cruiser came tearing up this way, before transforming into another mech, smaller, but more nimble, and well equip in both types of weapons. Any hope I had of getting out of this mess, had decreased, to ash. In a tornado.

"Starscream. What is going on here?" the newcomer hummed.

Starscream growled, "this pest, was snooping around, and called me a nacho!"

the newcomer looked confused for a few seconds as well... until he was trying to hide a smirk. "did she now? And you find offense... why?"

Starscream sputtered for a moment. As the two were obviously distracted, I decided to take my leave, and try to sneak into the old warehouse, I could probably find a good hiding place there.

I started to really get close to it, when it felt like a freight train hit me from behind.

"and where do you think you're going?" the newcomer was now standing over me. His arms were crossed, and he had a couple of blades. Also he looked mad.

"away. Obviously." I looked around to see Starscream, still at the same spot. Talking and throwing his arms around. Also looking away. I returned my gaze to the police cruiser. I didn't entirely like the fact I was I the ground.

I attempted to get up, just to be kicked back to the ground and growled at. "Stay down!" alright then. I'll stay down, for the moment, But I'll still fight back. I swung my leg aground, catching it on his foot, causing him to lose balance and fall. I scrambled onto my feet, grabbing one of my swords, and falling into a plow guard stance.

He to rose, looking mad, but slightly impressed, probably because I caught him off guard. We both just stood there, waiting for the other to make their first move. I struck first, I lunged at him. He simply took a side step, grabbing my sword arm, and holding one of the blades to my throat. "don't even think about escape." he growled.

I didn't even nod, I just stood stiff. I could see that Starscream had stopped ranting, and was now walking (practically strutting) on over. "well done Barricade. I will make sure our glorious leader will know of your work, under my command of course." Starscream hummed. That stuck up arrogant pig! He had not ordered Barricade to capture me! I started to growl, when I felt Barricade press the knife closer to my throat. I immediately stopped, though I could feel an equal aura of annoyance from him as well.

I heard another jet coming from behind, "speaking of which." Starscream growled. I herd transforming, and a loud thud. "master! It is so wonderful that you have returned!" Starscream was pretty much groveling, at this mechs return. "as you can plainly see, Barricade and I have captured this intruder! Under my command of course."

"Really now." their leader said. I recognized that voice! It was Megatron! "Barricade, release her."

"M-my lord?" Starscream stuttered. Both looked confused, but Barricade did as he was told. I backed up a few paces, not trusting either of them.

"you heard me Starscream. This is the youngling that came with me."

"My deepest apologise, I had no idea!" Starscream was definitely groveling now.

"See that this mistake does not happen again. Am I clear?"

"Very."

"Good. Starfire, are you alright?" why did he care? Didn't he abandon me earlier?

"yeah. Fine." I was very much aware of all the scratches and dents I had on me.

"what did you choose?" why did he seem to care so much?!

I wordlessly turned around and transformed. Then I figured I should give an explanation. "it was the only one small enough, that wasn't a drone."

Megatron nodded. I transformed back into my bipedal mode. I gave him a glare. "would you like to say something Starfire?"

"Why did you abandon me, and then when I find you again, you act all nice?!"

he had an angry look about him. "Starscream, Barricade, go about your rounds."

"Yes my Lord." Starscream gave a low bow before taking off.

Barricade simply nodded before transforming and driving off.

Megatron turned his attention back to me. He seemed to have calmed down a little, I could feel it. his voice was low "I did not abandon you."

"Then what did you do?! I came back, and you were NO WHERE, I searched till I was to tired to! And you were not there!"

"I sent Barricade to retrieve you!"

"Well that would explain the police cruiser. And I was looking for you! Not him!"

"and how well do you think I would blend in? If my enemies had shown up, before I was ready?"

there was silence, neither of us speaking. Megatron finally said something "come. Our medic should probably check you over." He walked into the warehouse.

I followed along, not really sure what else to do. There was a sort of curtain set up in the corner. I guess that served as the medical wing. Inside of it was a bright red mech, who I almost mistook for a femme at first glance. "ah, lord Megatron. I see you have found Starfire." he seemed pretty cheerful.

"Yes Knockout. She got into a fight with Barricade and Starscream. Could you make sure no real damage was done."

I felt like I was being babied. "I told you already, I am fine." even though I still had the bullets jammed in my joints, and parts of my wings slightly bent. Megatron gave me a look, that pretty much said that there was no room for argument.

After the check up I walked up to Megatron, "I was perfectly fine! It was simple stuff I already knew about, and could fix myself!"

Starscream and Barricade returned. Megatron turned away from me to acknowledge the two. "Report."

Barricade was the one to respond. "everything is clear."

"Good. And Barricade, the reason why you couldn't find Starfire, was because she hid from you."

I received a funny look from Barricade.

Megatron turned back to me. "You will begin training tomorrow."

I nodded. I was certainly thankful of that, as I had been taken down the instant I started fighting.

A/N: I guess this was kind of a fluff chapter... as soon as I got a review on the 16th I believe, for some odd reason I wanted to make this chapter fast.

Mariah: Bee and Blurr are already on earth, this is currently taking place a year before the first Movie, so it will be a while. Except for with Bee.
