A/N:

Chapter Eight already? Hmmm...and to think I was going to end this story at chapter ten, but now I have found a reason to make this story longer. Especially for how I want it to end. I must admit, I am having a blast with writing this and the character Deana (or Dimstar). Even if she is like a frightened little girl.

Thanks;

...for the reviews last chapter, and any other chapter ya'll have reviewed on earlier. Now I shall let ya'll read this chapter. Enjoy :)

~Chapter 8: Story of Orion~

Jack watched quietly while the Autobots talked to Dimstar, and while Miko tried to bring herself into the conversation. It was only two minutes before Bulkhead quietly asked Miko to be quiet while Optimus and Ratchet spoke to Dimstar. Raf sat where he had been for a while, on the couch on the platform with the TV, with his laptop in his lap.

"Dimstar, where is your ship so we may find it and help you." Ratchet said.

It was odd, Jack noticed, there was something odd about Dimstar-her personality, not her look. That reminded Jack of someone else, just couldn't describe it. "I uh...it exploded?" Dimstar said.

Dimstar spoke in that of a whisper, nervously and with fear. Why was she scared? She was with the Autobots, doesn't she know about the Autobots?

"Hm..." Ratchet said.

"Dimstar, because the Decepticons seem to be after you. You may stay here." Optimus said.

Dimstar smiled slightly. "Thank you."

...

Dimstar walked quietly out to the main room in the base late that night, from the room she was given to sleep in that night. Like expected someone was at the monitors to make sure there was no Decepticon activity, Ratchet was the one .

"Hi Ratchet." Dimstar greeted in fear.

Ratchet turned around. "Why are you up? You need to sleep so your systems can fix themselves better in the self repairs."

"Couldn't sleep...?" Dimstar replied.

Ratchet grunted and turned around. What was with this femme? He wondered. She is so scared of us, too scared to even sleep or rest when she needs it. The Decepticons are the bad ones, not the Autobots.

"Miko can be a little annoying." Dimstar said at random.

"Yup." Ratchet said but did not turn to face her.

She tapped her chin in thought for a moment, then with a shrug she walked to the wall by the exit to the tunnel that led out of the base; she sat down next to it without much thought. Dimstar watched Ratchet from where she sat, at the side view of the red and white mech as he worked.

"Do you know what the problem with Megatron is? Why he is as he is?" she asked a few minutes later to break the silence that oddly made her more scared.

Ratchet turned his head to look at the yellow and blue femme that sat on the floor, just stareing at him. Though when Ratchet was about to tell her what he hd told the three humans, Jack, Miko, and Raf, but Optimus walked in then. Ratchet knew Optimus was here to watch over the moniters for the rest of the night so that Ratchet may get some rest, but it still made him blink.

Dimstar stiffened like she usually seemed to do when someone who hadn't been in the room moments ago walked in. "Megatron is as he is, because of how he was rejected of becoming a Prime many years ago." Optimus began.

...

Deana sat on the floor, up against the wall in the room she was given. Her mind spun with the story she was told just last night. Why did she even ask? Deana did not even want to know how Megatron grew evil and crazy with wanting power-and having power. Though even without asking, Optimus also explained why they had come to earth, since that was something else Deana had not been told. Because of the energon and artifacts on earth the Decepticons practically crawled all over the planet.

"Why on earth would the earlier Autobots and Decepticons even hide stuff at earth." Deana mumbled. "Or even the Primes?

If it wasn't for any of them then Deana would still be back in Oklahoma with her parents, not just with Deana as a human but with her parents alive and working on their projects. Deana sighed and rested her head on its side on her knees.

A/N:

How was it? I do hope ya'll liked it, even if it was a bit short (sorry for that)-but hey, at least the next chapter will be longer...and more interesting/exciting. Well until next time...

...make sure Arachnid doesn't appear at your house.
