"Twitchy!" shouted DanI in the hallways of the base. "Here Twitch, Twitch, Twitch!"
"Ahem!" said Sandra loudly.
Dani jumped in surprise. "Yes." she asked quietly.
Sandra stepped aside revealing her room in ruins and a stuffed Scraplet in the center of it.
"Oh my gosh!" DanI gasped. "I am so sorry." She ran to Twitchy and picked him up. DanI looked around then focused on Sandra.
"You know I don't think I've seen you around here before." said Sandra.
"Oh, I've been here for as long as Prowl has." DanI whispered.
"Oh yeah!" said Sandra. "Now I remember. Your that techno-organic girl I keep seeing in the fields."
"And your that robot girl I keep seeing there." DanI laughed. Her laughter ended when she saw Sandra scowl.
"I AM NOT A ROBOT!" Sandra yelled angrily. "I am not an unfeeling machine!"
"I'm sorry." said DanI backing up. Twitchy growled and snapped at Sandra.
"That's it!" growled Sandra. "Give me that little mongrel!"
"No!" screamed DanI as she blocked Sandra's arms.
Suddenly a flash sprang from where they touched. DanI's eyes glow a bright blue.
Inside Dani's mind, she saw the base from a bird's eye view. Suddenly her vantage point rushed downward through the doors and into Bumblebee's sleeping quarters where he currently was.
Then she saw an unfamiliar city filled with Decepticons. It must be Kaon. She quickly zoomed through the streets and saw a Large building clear as day. Again she was rushed through the halls. She was inside some kind of throne room. A door opened in front of her. In the center of a room she saw a red haired women hanging in chains. Then she blacked out.
"Hey Scraplet girl!" shouted Sandra as she caught the falling girl. "Are you alright?"

Mach Dart landed in the center of the arena, knife ready. To his surprise, no one else but him and Que were in the arena. He put his knife away and ran to the old mech. He picked the poor bot up by his shoulders.
"It's okay." said Mach Dart softly. "Your safe."
Que eased his exhaust system (breath). "Primus bless you lad."
A loud sound echoed through the stadium. Before Mach knew what was going on, Que's charred torso separated from his arms and fell to the ground. When it met the dirt, the head rolled off. Mach watched I horror as Que's optics slowly dulled until the stopped shining.
Megatron shut down his smoking fusion cannon as the crowd cheered.
Mach let out a primal scream in rage and grief. He set the Que's remains down, transformed, and flew after Megatron.
Suddenly another jet slammed against him causing him to crash. Mach transformed and faced this new adversary.
The jet transformed mid air and landed on its feet. It was a fembot. "You're a feisty little one." she laughed. "I like that in a mech. Huh, too bad I have to kill you."
"I promise you this, Decepticreep!" growled Mach Dart. "No other Autobot will perish in this arena today."
"The name's Shadow Streak and that's okay." Suddenly she slammed Mach Dart to the ground. "I can keep this fight up till midnight."
The crowd cheered on as Mach Dart shoved the fembot away. He transformed his EMP Blaster and fired at her. Shadow Streak leaped in the air to dodge it and transformed. She fired a few missiles at Mach while she darted towards him. Mach dodged the missiles but he was right where Shadow Streak wanted him to be. She slammed into him and transformed right before he was smacked into the side of the arena. Shadow Streak grabbed her blade and stabbed Mach in the side, hoping to kill him. Unfortunately for her, Mach was tougher than that.
He kicked her away and grabbed her blade from his plating. "Nice try sweet cheeks." he mocked. He grabbed his own knife. "My turn."
He ran towards her. Before she could react, Mach stabbed her own blade into her knee and stabbed her side with his knife. She yelled in pain and delivered a punch to Mach's face.
"No more playing." she growled. She fired a large missile straight at the True Autobot. He would have been hit if it wasn't for someone pushing him out of the way.
"Look what you got us into!" yelled Moonbeam.
Moonbeam growled and fell to her knees. She grabbed her bleeding side. Mach walked towards her and fired an EMP blast point blank at her face. She closed her eyes and fell down into stasis. Her bleeding stopped.
Moonbeam urged Mach Dart to go when the gates closed shut.
"Hold on a minute!" said Swindle through the speakers. "Your not done fighting yet. The audience wants a death and since you only knocked her out, we still need one."
"We'll take those Autobots on!" shouted Long Haul in the stands.
The other Constructicons nodded in agreement and leaped into the arena.
Moonbeam wasn't scared. "We can take a few construction workers." she laughed.
"You may be able to handle a few Construction workers." laughed Crush. "But can you handle one behemoth?"
"Constructicons Combine!" shouted Long Haul.
Suddenly the group began to transform in ways the two True Autobots have never seen before. Two transformed into hands. Two into legs. Next thing they knew, large metallic tendrils shot from their bizarre forms and began dragging each other together. They merged together in one giant form. When this form stood up, Mach Dart almost lost his lubricant.
The form was easily several times taller than even Megatron.
"PREPARE FOR EXTERMINATION!" shouted the gigantic robot. "DEVASTATOR SHALL DESTROY YOU!"

Meanwhile, Megatron was not at all focused at this spectacle. "I believe now is the time for our transaction."
Swindle nodded. "Do you have it?" he asked. Megatron reached into his storage compartment and grabbed a container of a red liquid. "As promised. A sample of the ancient Hate Plague. Just add a small drop onto your gladiators and will make them a hundred times more aggressive. Now for my item."
Swindle smiled and handed Megatron a triangular object. "Pleasure doing business with you."
Megatron said nothing as he put the object inside his storage compartment.
Suddenly a blue sphere shot itself right into Megatron's chest. The Decepticon yelled in shock as sparks flew from his head. He fell to his knees.
"YES!" shouted a high pitched voice through Megatron's mouth. "I have taken over this body! Now I, Starscream am leader of the Decepticons!"
"Get out of my body you disgusting spirit!" Megatron yelled in his own voice.
Swindle looked at Megatron in confusion. "Yeah, I'm gonna go." At that, the arms dealer exited.
"I think I'll stay right here Megatron!" Starscream laughed.
"You couldn't beat me in life Starscream!" Megaton growled. "What makes you think you can beat me in death?"
"I have the power beyond that of the Allspark fool. How else could my Spark have escaped the Well?"
"Perhaps the Allspark rejected you." Megatron laughed. "Whatever the reason, my will is stronger!" With an intense scream Megatron took back his body. Starscream's Spark darted out.
"I feel weak." said Starscream. "How could that be? You damaged my Spark you dolt!"
Megatron growled and grabbed his sword. Starscream's Spark dodged the swipes. In a panic, Starscream fled.
"That traitor's foolishness has even transcended death." Megatron growled.

"I saw someone!" DanI gasped as she woke up in what remained of Sandra's bed.
"Good." said Sandra, not paying attention to what DanI said, "Your not dead. That pest of yours was getting worried."
Twitchy snuggled up to Dani's side and emitted a purr. "I saw someone!" said DanI again. "She looked like you but older."
"What the frag are you talking about?" asked Sandra.
"When I touched you, I had a vision!" said DanI. "I saw your father then I saw a red haired techno-organic woman."
"What are you on and can I get some?" laughed Sandra.
"This is no joke!" shouted DanI. "I can tell you where this woman is and everything."
Sandra rolled her eyes and turned around. "Wait a minute." She turned back to DanI. "You say she looked like me?"
"Yeah. Red hair and all." said DanI. "Except she didn't have a robotic arm. Plus there was something, I don't know, 'extra' that I senesced."
"THAT'S MY MOTHER!" Sandra cheered. "I don't know how you did it but you saw my mother! You say you know where she is?"
"Well I saw her in Kaon in my vision but… Oh this is confusing. I should tell Prowl." said DanI.
"Oh no you don't!" said Sandra, grabbing her arm. "We don't need no fraggin robot to help us."
"But…" stuttered DanI.
"But nothing." said Sandra. "You and I are going to Kaon and rescuing my mother!"
