Chapter 9
A few days have passed since Amy and Nightstripe had their conversation, in which Nightstripe told her a few things about her. The Autobots have decided to call some backup, because they wanted to get all All Spark fragments as soon as possible and they found out that there are more Decepticons on earth, which they can't stop on their own.
"You really think it was necessary to call back up, Optimus?" Amy asked as she was standing next to Optimus Prime.
"Yes i think so. Those Decepticons are strong. Who knows what they could do and we aren't strong enough to hold them back. And when they get all fragments, we have a really big problem." Optimus explained.
"I see. So, you think they'll come soon?"
"I don't know, it shouldn't take so long. They'll probably arrive tomorrow."
"Gonna be pretty amazing to have more Autobots around here!" Dave said excited as he came to them.
"Something tells me…that they aren't gonna make it." Amy said worried.
"What are you talking about?" Dave wondered.
"I don't know…It's just a feeling." she said as she walked away. She was standing outside the base. It was already evening and she saw the sun set in the west. She took her bike and began driving. She wasn't really sure where she was going but she was sure that she didn't want to stay at the Autobots' base. She was driving out of town. The darkness was closing in. She stopped at a house at the rim of the city and looked up in the sky. She looked at it as if she was searching for something.
"Somehow I have a really bad feeling." she said to herself as she turned around and drove home.
"Is there something wrong?" a blue Autobot asked another one as they could hear the sirens of the spaceship.
"It seems like we have an intruder!" the other one said.
"An intruder? Here? In the middle of nowhere?"
"Uhm Sir, we have almost reached Earth."
"Anyway, you, take two others and find that intruder!" the blue 'Bot commanded and pointed at a green Autobot.
"Yes Sir!" the green one said and walked away. He took two of his friends and searched the ship for intruders. But they couldn't find anything.
"Have you found anything?" the green 'Bot asked his two friends as they met again and searched the whole ship.
"Nothing." was the response.
"Then I suppose there's no one here. I guess it was a false alarm." As the three 'Bots wanted to go something bashed into the metal of the ship. The three looked over to the hole. One of them came closer to it and looked through it. Suddenly he was grabbed by a huge hand and dragged into the hole. The other two only heard his painful screams. Then there was silence.
"Quick! Back to the bridge!" the green 'Bot said as he started running followed by his friend.
"What's the matter with you?" the blue Autobot asked the two as they arrived at the bridge.
"There is someone in the ship! And not just a normal person, it's a Decepticon!"
"What?"
"It's true!" Panic overcame the whole crew of the ship.
"Well then, don't just stand here! Do something! Fight! Kill him!" the blue 'Bot commanded. The other Autobots did as he told them and tried to find the unknown Decepticon. Suddenly the ship was hit by a strong laser blast and all Autobots were knocked to the ground. A hand bashed through the bottom and dragged one Autobot with it.
"We're hit! We have to land immediately!" the blue 'Bot said. The ship headed for Earth. Two more Autobots were dragged out of the ship by the mysterious Decepticon. The ship was badly damaged and passed the moon and headed for Earth. One more time the hand appeared and dragged an Autobot with it.
"No! Help!" the 'Bot yelled afraid as he was dragged out of the ship. He found himself standing on the moon and in front of him was a huge shadow. He could see the shape of a big Decepticon.
"No!" was the only thing the Autobot could say before he was grabbed by the Decepticon. He screamed in pain. But then there was silence. The head of the Autobot fell slowly to the ground right next to the legs of the Decepticon. His blood red eyes were glowing in the dark as he was looking at the small planet Earth. The energon was floating down his fingers.
"You'll regret that you did not kill me!" a low and terrifying voice said. It was the voice of the big Decepticon, who was starring at the planet, which was in front of him. Earth.
"I will have my revenge!" he sad to himself as he picked up the head of the Autobot and looked at it.
"You and your primitive bunch of Decepticons will all…" he began to pull his hand together in which he was holding the head.
"Perish!" with that word he squished the head into pieces. Then he transformed and flew towards Earth.
"So what exactly were you doing back there?" Starscream asked Nightstripe as the two of them were standing outside. It was already dark and the moon was shining. Starscream didn't stop asking what Nightstripe was doing with Amy in the forest.
"Nothing you have to know!" she just said and started walking. Starscream followed her.
"What is wrong with you?" Nightstripe asked angry as she noticed Starscream was walking next to her.
"The better question is what is wrong with you!" he said back.
"There's nothing wrong with me!"
"I see that a little bit different!"
"Oh, shut up! Why should there be something wrong with me?"
"Maybe, because you're acting not normal since we got here!"
"Nonsense! I was always like this."
"No you weren't! You were once different. I don't care about that normally but it is so obvious!"
"Then why do you care about it anyway?"
"I don't care about it! I'm just saying it because it is obvious!"
"Yeah right…and it's so obvious to me, that you're lying, again!"
"I'm not lying." Nightstripe looked angry and slapped him in the face.
"Would you stop that? You know exactly, that I know when you're lying!"
"Alright! You're right…"
"Back to the question, why do you care about the changes in the first place?" Starscream didn't answer. He had an answer but he didn't want to say it. Nightstripe got impatient.
"I'm waiting!" she said annoyed.
"Never mind!" Starscream said before he turned around and walked away. But before he could go, Nightstripe grabbed his arm. She turned him around and looked at him.
"You'll tell me your answer!"
"Why do you even want to know it? I thought you don't care about such things!" Nightstripe let go of him and turned around. Before anyone could say something they were interrupted by a loud noise. The two Decepticons looked into the direction from which it came. A large pile of smoke was rising up from the edge of the town.
"What in the…" Starscream couldn't even finish his sentence because he was dragged away by Nightstripe.
"Let's go!" she said before she transformed and flew towards the smoke. Starscream didn't really understand what was going on but he followed her. They arrived at the place, from where the smoke came. The two Decepticons were standing in front of a large hole, which was empty.
"Something must have hit here." Nightstripe said as she bend down and looked closely at the hole.
"What ever it was, it's on its feet and is around here somewhere." she said. Starscream looked around him.
"What you think is it?" he asked.
"I'm afraid it is….a transformer."
"Why could that be bad?"
"It's a big one…and a cruel one…I never thought he would come here." Suddenly they heard some police sirens.
"I think we should go." Starscream said and wanted to go.
"I've got more bad news." Nightstripe said and held Starscream back.
"And that'd be?" Nightstripe stood up and looked him in the face.
"It's a Decepticon…and probably not on our side."
