Chapter 35

Silver Star sat near the groundbridge with her soldier friend, Major Foster. The man sat on the couch, watching the girl eating her ice cream.

"Hey Star," the soldier smiled. "Want to go find Blaster? I think he's having some fun with the men in the rec center."

"Le's go…"

The man lifted the sparkling onto his shoulders. She went into her human form, in order to feel a little lighter for the man. Ratchet watched them go out; it gave him some joy to see that she had made a new friend. However, he did not understand why he loved the little femme so much; honestly, it made him a bit concerned.

The girl and major entered the rec center to hear the sound of music blaring from Blaster's speakers and to see the soldiers dancing.

"Wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble

Get in there, yeah, yeah

Ey big girl make em' back it up, make em' back it up."

Blaster was dancing right alongside the humans. "Hey there Star, and Foster there you are! Wanna join the dance, hurry or you'll miss your chance." The mech summoned his holoform and took Silver Star by the hand and danced with her.

The mech carried the sparkling on his shoulder plating, with the human soldier behind them. Optimus and the other Autobots were back from their mission and, they had with them, something that looked like a disfigured talon.

"Wha' dat?"

"It's a fossilized Predacon bone." Came a new voice. A slot opened in Blaster's chest and, what looked like, a CD case came flying out. It transformed into a, black and white, human-sized bot.

"That's cool Rewind, what else did you find?"

"Whoa! Whoa!" Miko jumped to her feet. "You have mini-bots inside you?!"

"Sure do, I completely forgot to tell you."

Four more micro-bots came out of Blaster. The blue and silver one crossed his arms. "Come on, coach! Why didn't you tell them about us?"

"Oh lay off Blaster, Eject." The small pink femme pushed her friend away. She approached the others. "Hello, my designation is Rosanna. The sports junkie here is Eject. She motioned to the yellow cat-like bot. "This is Steeljaw and this is Ramhorn." She gestured to the rhino-like bot.

"Pink!" Silver Star tottered up the Rosanna. "You p'etty!"

The small femme giggled. "And you must be Silver Star! Oh you're so adorable!" Steeljaw came over and rubbed against the sparkling, just like a house cat.

"I'm sorry to interrupt," Rewind vented. "But, I was trying to explain something."

"Sorry, Rewind…" Ramhorn huffed.

The micro-bot nodded and strode up to the Predacon bone. "Optimus, where did you find this?"

"The Decepticons were trying to procure it."

"I see…" the tiny mech turned to everyone. "I would be surprised that something like this could be found on earth, but I remember reading something about Shockwave sending out Predacons to far off planets, in order to guard off-planet Energon deposits. It stands to reason, since Predacons resemble the dragons in earth's mythology, that many of the creatures in human lore were these Cybertronian beasts."

Miko cocked her head. "If those are Predacons, what are Dinobots?"

"They are completely different. I will explain them to you on a later date."

Eject knocked on the fossil and asked. "Why would the Decepticons want a piece of junk like this?"

"To create more Predacons," Ratchet offered.

Silver Star looked around. Most of this went over her head; she yawned and laid down on the nearby couch, quickly falling into recharge.

Elita looked around the base. Blaster, Rosanna, and Miko were all talking music together. Ramhorn sat with Bulkhead and Wheeljack, comparing battle-stories. Jack sat, doing his homework, with Arcee and Ultra Magnus nearby, talking with Steeljaw about tactics. Eject stared at the TV watching a football game with Fowler; the human cheered for the Patriots while the micro-bot cheered for the Packers. Ratchet stood with his back to everyone, working, once again, on the Synthetic Energon formula. Optimus spoke with Foster, presumably about Silver Star. Rewind stood by Rafael, teaching him some Cybertronian.

Coming over to her sparkmate and the human Major, Elita heard Optimus ask. "Major Foster, why is it that you spend so much time with Silver Star?"

"It's because she reminds me of my little girl."

"Oh," the femme smiled. "You have a daughter?"

"I did…" The two bots looked surprised. "Ten years ago, when I was deployed in Afghanistan, my wife left me. She got a court order and divorced me, without my consent, and took our daughter with her. Jamie was only three years old when I last saw her. She's thirteen years old now… just turned that last week. I can't even send her a present because I have no idea where she is."

Optimus gave the soldier a look of pity. "I am sorry, Major Foster. It may help you to know that Star loves your company."

"She also loves the gift you gave her."

They all looked at the stuffed horse; Star's toy, Muggy, got left behind in the old base and was destroyed. Major Foster heard about this and bought her a new toy. "I'm glad I could help her. She seemed so sad when she noticed Muggy was gone."

"Well, she loves Mimi." Elita smiled, watching her sleeping daughter cuddle with the toy horse.

Optimus looked back down at the human. "We may end up going on many missions that will be far too dangerous for her, that will require all Autobots. Can I trust you to watch over and protect her while we are gone?"

"You bet, Optimus. I will take care of her while you're gone."

Elita smiled. "Thank you, Major."

This was just a little intro chapter, to show you some of the new team members.
