Chapter 21

"Listen, I know that I should have told you earlier, but… You can´t believe how much it hurts to know that I wasn´t able to save them… They died in front of my eyes… To remember that I have lost them…"

They all felt how sad I was.

"Jane, what has happened… I am sorry."

Jack said.

He knew how it feels to lose someone.

He has lost his father.

"Nevertheless, I can tell you that the girls we have found have not been killed two years ago."

Agent Fowler explained.

"You mean … They are alive?"

Where was that hope coming from?

They could impossibly have been alive.

I saw them dieing.

"Unfortunately…"

He had not had to say one more word.

"I lost them both the same day. Lyn had died about two or three weeks earlier. It was all my fault."

I said.

"What has happened?"

Raf asked.

I looked at him, and then hung my head.

They had to know.

Attention: If you don´t want to read how they died, please don´t read on! It is your own choice, so I am not responsible for the outcome. Just leave this passage out and read on downward.

"When we were kidnapped, I was the only one who had known about the war before. I explained them as much as I could and became the leader of our team. It was clear to us that we would have to stick together, but in fact it was my entire fault. I am responsible for everything. We tried to escape, but again and again we failed. We never got far. Where to hide on a planet you don´t know? Then, one day, when Shockwave unlocked our cell, we blew him off. We had not seen the chemicals he was carrying… It went BOOM. Suddenly, the whole place was on fire. We ran… But when we got out… Senja was the one who noticed that Lyn was not with us. We went back. Back into the flames, searching for her. But when we finally found her… It was too late…"

"But if this was how it has happened, it was not your fault."

"It was, Raf. It was my plan and everything went wrong. When we understood that she was lost, we ran away. We left her. After a few days, we found a safe place to hide. But without having the chance to leave Cybertron, it was only a matter of time up to the Decepticons found us. The day came for us to run, but we got circled…"

I closed my eyes and saw it in front of my inner eye.

"Ryn was killed by a careless `Con trooper. Shockwave totally freaked out, as we did. It was like Senja and I turned into a weapon of mass destruction. Today I know that we just lost control. We blew the whole place up and escaped. Two days later, they found us again. Senja was shot by the same careless Trooper that had killed Ryn. She protected me. It was me, who he wanted to shoot. Not her. I suddenly was on my own."

Now you can read on!

"I don´t understand why the `Cons should be kidnapping innocent girls."

Jack was right to ask.

"The legend of the stars."

I said and opened up my hand.

Four blue glowing balls appeared, each forming a body.

It was us.

"The legend tells about four parts being one. Four so called stars, having the power to do everything they want if they connect their power. But if a star dies, the power won´t be lost. It will be transferred to the next person who is worthy to be entrusted with it. On Cybertron, there were only us four, so I got my friends' powers."

"Can´t you give them away? I mean if you have all the power, you should be able to do everything you want right?"

Raf asked.

"Well, there are rules to follow. I can´t just give the powers away."

"Rules?"

"Way too many rules to explain, but the powers can only be entrusted to those who are worthy. And there are not that many worthy people…"

"I can´t believe you have gone through all this and never told us."

Jack said.

"I am not proud of what has happened."

I answered and waited of the others to say something.

It was quiet at base, when suddenly the screen sounded.

A signal pumped up.

"Is it Miko?"

I asked.

"It is."

Ratchet said.

We looked at each other.

I saw how glad the `Bots were to know that she was alive.

A familiar voice sounded.

"Miko to base, I need a bridge."

"Opening up."

The swirling vortex opened and we all waited for Miko to step through.

But it wasn´t her.

A red and green sports car drove in.

It certainly was not Knockout.

We stood alarmed.

The car transformed into a neon green and red femme, holding Miko in her hand.

The insignia she wore was unknown to the team.

"Heya!"

Miko greeted us.

The Autobots raised their weapons.

"Whoever you are, let the girl go!"

Optimus said.

The femme covered Miko in her hand and loaded her own weapon.

They stood face to face and even though she was outnumbered, the femme showed no fear.

I suddenly froze.

"Stop it!"

Everyone looked at me.

I closed my eyes and fine lines coated my face, forming the same insignia the femme wore.

"Jane, what does that mean?"

Optimus asked.

But I gave no answer.

I opened my eyes again and the lines disappeared.

"Lyn? Is that you?"

"Hey there, partner. It has been a while."

The femme smile and opened up her hand to allow Miko climbing down.

Then, she gave me a lift.

The Autobots still had no idea how to react.

"How is it that you are alive?"

She asked.

"Me? How about you? I… I saw you dieing!"

"I nearly did, but I was able to transform into my cybertronian from and Shockwave managed to stabilize me. He saved my life."

"You are…"

I looked at her, remembering how she once has looked like.

"I lost my power and with it, the ability to transform."

She said.

"Wow, wow, wow, stop. You have not lost your power. I got it."

I said and one of my four glowing sources of power appeared.

"And I would like to give it back to its rightful owner."

A blue flash lit the room.

I fell to the ground and hit it hard.

"Jane!"

Bulkhead was shocked.

"I am alright. I forgot that this would happen."

We sag Lyn´s body glowing blue.

Again, a flash lit the room, blinding us for a second.

The femme was gone.

Instead, there stood a girl of my age.

Lyn, finally herself again.

"Jane, I am human! I can´t believe it! I am human again!"

She hugged me.

"Thanks, buddy."

I turned around and saw five Autobots, three kids and a completely confused Agent Fowler looking at us.

"Great point of time to introduce you. Guys, this is Lyn. Lyn, meet the Autobots. This are Bulkhead, Arcee, Bumblebee, Ratchet and our leader Optimus Prime."

"It´s a pleasure to welcome you to our team."

Optimus said.

Dun! Dun! Dun!

What was that?

Lyn is alive!

And even worse: Miko was with her all the time!

A human who can transform into a cybertronian?

This can only be a Decepticon´s work, don´t you think so?

More next time!
