Graham's aka Strikezone's POV
"What are you talking about Ratchet?"
Ratchet helps me to my feet. Optimus runs over to us. I stumble a bit when I see my reflection in the windows on Optimus's chest. He catches me then I put my arm around Ratchet's shoulder so I can take a few seconds to wrap my mind around what just happened.
"So, Ratchet, it looks like Knockout used dark energon in those darts," Optimus says.
"It would appear so, now we'll have to find enough energon to help the girls and Graham to get the dark energon out of their systems," Ratchet says.
A few seconds later we hear screams of pain coming from the medical bay. I quickly take my arm off Ratchet's shoulder and run towards the sound. Ratchet and Optimus follow me. We arrive to see Knockout and Breakdown removing the pulse monitors and slinging them over their shoulders. I mimic what I saw Optimus did to change his hand to his blaster.
"Put them down Cons," I snap aiming my blaster at Knockout.
They turn around and I see a sly grin appear on Knockout's face. He says, "You won't hurt me Graham or should I call you Strikezone,"
"Maybe we should call him mini Optimus," Breakdown adds.
"Don't test me Knockout, I'll hit you right in your spark," I snap.
Normal POV
On board the Nemesis on the bridge Megatron is sitting on his throne clenching his first in frustration wondering what is taking Knockout and Breakdown so long to bring back the two injured femme's from the Autobot base. He hears the door slide open and looks up to see Starscream walk in. "Starscream, have you heard anything from Knockout and Breakdown?"
"Nothing yet Lord Megatron. Might I make a suggestion to ensure that we can bring back those two tricky Femmes." Starscream says.
"What is it?" Megatron asks.
"We should capture the younger human brother of Swiftglide and the sibling of that other human called Graham," Starscream says.
After Megatron tells Starscream that Soundwave will help him. Soundwave figured out how to edit his holoform program to make a human form that would easily get the Preschoolers to trust him. Just in case communications and surveillance chief also called the school and posed as Brandon and Isabella's parents so Starscream 'Steven' could pick them up after school today. Starscream chuckles evilly as he and Soundwave head to the flight deck.
The Decepticons land in a safe spot where they could hide their Cybertronian forms so no humans could spot them. Then to Starscream's dismay, he activates his holoform. He groans seeing his reflection on the side of his alt mode. Now he looks like a 5'8'' tall 23-year-old man with green eyes, short black hair, and goatee on his chin. He also didn't care for the earth attire he is wearing also, he is wearing a silver jacket, a gray t-shirt with the Decepticon logo on it, a pair of what the humans call jeans and a pair of boots with a small heel on them.
Hopefully, this form will fool those small humans long enough to lure them back here. Starscream thinks.
He gets to the Preschool in time to hear the school bell ring. He steps to the side to let the other parents walk past him with their kids. Mrs. Sampson walks out with Brandon and Isabella. The preschoolers are worried when they didn't see their parents or older siblings.
"Mrs. Sampson, where are my mom and dad?" Brandon asks.
"Yeah, where is Graham?" Isabella adds.
"I got a call from your parents they said that their friend Steven will walk you two home today." Mrs. Sampson answers.
The kids walk over to Steven then they walk down the sidewalk. When 'Steven' makes a right turn instead of going straight when they reach the end of the street.
"Mr. Steven, we need to turn around," Brandon says.
"Yes, our houses are the other way," Isabella adds.
"Your teacher got confused I'll be taking you to my house to wait for your parents," Starscream says.
The two turn around and try to run away but 'Steven' quickly grabs them by their collars. He continues to walk towards the location where he and Soundwave landed. Brandon and Isabella keep shouting stranger danger as well as kicking wildly in the hopes he would get annoyed enough to let them go. It didn't work and Starscream joins back up with Soundwave. The preschoolers stop screaming when their throats start to get sore. Soundwave transforms then release Lazerbeak. It flies over to them and hits them with the lowest power energon blast its cannons could produce. After they stopped moving Lazerbeak flies back to Soundwave and he takes hold of them with his tentacles. Starscream deactivates his holoform then transforms as well.
"Lord Megatron, we have them," Starscream says.
"Good, now I'll have one of the troopers open a bridge in front of Autobot base. I'll join you as well I want to see Optimus's reaction when he sees we have the two siblings of their human pets," Megatron says.
