Sunstreaker was driving in the fields of the American mid west.
"Oh hi I'm Sunstreaker, Autobot and brother to Sideswipe and Bumblebee, and you must be wondering to yourselves, what is he doing out in the midwest, well to put it short I've been in stasis for a very long time, since coming out of stasis and since now we Autobots have freedom to travel again, and hearing about Bumblebee's adventures at Yokai Academy I've decided to have my own adventures and travel through the North American Continent my first stop on my adventure is Nebraska, for the scenery and small town festivals."
Sunstreaker drove pass a "Welcome to Nebraska" sign starting his adventure, he decided to stop at a nearby town called Bellevue, Bellevue was having a festival so Sunstreaker decided to stop and enjoy the festive, but he knew he couldn't transform into his robot mode without scaring the locals so at a nearby wooded area he transformed into his robot mode and then into his human form, once Sunsteaker transformed into his human form he exited the wooded area and decided to join the festivities.
"I haven't been to a human festival in a long time" Sunstreaker mused to himself.
Sunstreaker then saw some people gathered around a big podium with the Autobot symbol, he decided to see what the commotion was about.
"Let me guess I walked into an Anti-Cybertronian town, hear them whine about how horrible we are" Sunstreaker thought to himself.
Sunstreaker walked to the back of the crowd and stopped he didn't want any attention drawn to him, he then saw the mayor walk up to the podium to speak.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, as you may know our county festival is going on, while we should celebrate our wonderful town I thought we should also celebrate the Autobots" said The Mayor.
Sunstreaker was surprised, out of all the places he'd had been to, Bellevue would be supporters of the Autobots.
"And to further prove my point we have a few guest speakers to give their stories" said The Mayor and he moved to give the mic to the first speaker.
The first speaker, a woman, came to the podium.
"Thank you mister mayor" said the woman "At first I wasn't so sure about the Cybertronians and when the attacks on New York City and Lisbon happened that was my low point, but when the Autobots came the defense of our world and saved us I couldn't help my respect them, and now since they have their freedoms back they would be always welcome in our town" said the woman.
Everyone clapped and cheered including Sunstreaker, the next speaker a man came to the podium and the woman left the stage.
"A long time ago I was on vacation in Egypt when the attack happened, I was at a pyramid when the stones fell, but I was saved by the Autobot known as Sunstreaker, not only did he save me, but he save my family, to him and the Autobots I thank him with my heart" said the man.
Sunstreaker was happy, the Autobots were finally getting the positive attention they deserve, however unknown to him a figure reached behind him and took something from him, Sunstreaker felt this and he reached behind him to find that his wallet was gone, he saw a figure walk into a crowd, he deduced to go after the person to get his wallet back.
"Hey you" shouted Sunstreaker.
But poor Sunstreaker lost the figure, to him it looked liked a young girl, he got a good look at the clothing so he decided to wait until the festivities were over, he didn't care about the money but he did want his wallet back, it was the first one he had ever purchased.
Nightfall came and the festivities had ended the girl had hid behind a tree going through the wallet for the money.
"Just what I needed" said the girl.
The girl was just about to leave when she bumped into Suntreaker (who was in his human form), the girl fell and was a little frightened, Sunstreaker could tell the girl was desperate for money.
"Look you can keep the money I just want my wallet back" said Sunstreaker.
"Well in that case" said the girl pulling the wallet out of her pocket.
The girl took the wallet and threw it at Sunstreaker, but Sunstreaker didn't do anything, he only stood there emotionless, the girl ran away as fast as she could, from her behavior Sunstreaker could tell all was not right with this girl.
"I better see what she's up to" Sunstreaker thought to himself and he preceded to follow the girl.
Sunstreaker followed the girl to an alley, the girl put the money into a small deposit box under a dumpster, she put her hood up and crawled next to a dumpster and curled up and went to sleep.
"Poor girl is homeless, why hasn't CPS or the town been helping this girl, is she like this because of the town, or was it her choice" Sunstreaker wondered to himself.
Then Suntreaker saw group of strange looking people walk down the alley, he decided to stay and watch just in case anything would happen, it was a group of four boys, one of the boys shoved her to wake her up.
"Wake up" said the boy.
The girl woke up to see the four boys she looked a little frightened.
"We believe you owe us something" said the second boy.
The girl reached for the box under the dumpster and got a handful of cash out and handed it to the first boy who only shook his head in frustration.
"This is not enough and I think you know that" said the first boy.
"Please I need the rest, I promise to get more" said the girl.
The first boy pulled out some brass knuckles and put them around his fingers ready to beat the girl up.
"This doesn't look good it won't end well" Sunstreaker said to himself.
Sunstreaker decided to intervene, he entered the alleyway, the girl was wondering what the stranger was doing there.
"I wouldn't do anything if I were you you" Sunstreaker said to the boys.
"And what you'll stop us you and who's army" the first boy taunted.
Sunstreaker then transformed into his robot mode which frightened the boys.
"I don't need an army to take all of you on" said Sunstreaker.
Sunstreaker lunged at the boys and the boys ran away out of fear, Sunstreaker helped the girl up.
"So you're a Cybertronian huh" said the girl.
"Well to be more specific, an Autobot" said Sunstreaker.
"Well whatever I did't need your help" said the girl.
"Your a tough cookie" chuckled Sunstreaker "what's your name" he asked.
The girl was hesitant to say, but she knew that an Autobot wouldn't hurt her.
"My name is Clementine" said Clementine.
"Well Clementine I'm going to ask you one question and I want you to think about it long and hard" said Sunstreaker.
"Well what" asked Clementine.
"Are you hungry" asked Sunstreaker with a smile.
Minutes later Clementine said "yes" and Sunstreaker decided to take her to McDonald's as it was the only other restaurant open at this hour, Sunstreaker was back in his human form as not to scare any one or draw attention to himself as this was a Pro-Cybertronian town, but when it came to the boys Sunstreaker knew that no one would believe a bunch of thugs like them, both Sunstreaker and Clementine were eating there burgers and Sunstreaker decided to start up a conversation.
"So are you from this town" asked Sunstreaker.
"No I'm from Lincoln" said Clementine.
"Well how did you end up in Bellevue" asked Sunstreaker.
"I guess I wanted to travel the United States but I ran out of money at Bellevue" said Clementine.
"What about your family" asked Sunstreaker.
"What about them" asked Clementine.
"Well where are they and what do they think of you leaving to travel" Sunstreaker asked.
Clementine didn't respond right away, she never shared what happened to her parents.
"My father abandoned me and my mom, and my mom died when I was only thirteen" said Clementine with a tint of sadness in her voice, and to Sunstreaker it looked like she was about to cry.
Sunstreaker put his hand on Clementine's shoulder gently.
"I understand how that feels I lost my mother and father too, if it weren't for my Autobot friends and my siblings I don't know where I would be" said Sunstreaker.
"Well I don't have any other friends or siblings" said Clementine sadly.
"Well aren't we friends" asked Sunstreaker.
"I just met you, you're still a stranger to me" said Clementine.
"Well a stranger is just someone you haven't met yet" said Sunstreaker.
Clementine only laughed at what Sunstreaker said.
"What" asked Sunstreaker who was very confused.
"That was the most corny thing I have ever heard" said Clementine with a laugh.
"Oh come on I try to say the right things" said Sunstreaker.
"Look I appreciate the help, but I don't need anyone" said Clementine.
"Are you sure about that you did have trouble with those boys and if I wasn't there who knows what they would've done to you" said Sunstreaker.
"Nothing would've happened, I just had them do a favor for me and I didn't pay them back" said Clementine.
"What did you have them do" asked Sunstreaker.
"It doesn't matter, you sure do talk a whole lot" said Clementine.
"What can I say I'm a very talkative Autobot" said Sunstreaker.
Clementine threw her trash in a nearby bin and began to walk away from Sunstreaker.
"It's been nice knowing you, and thank you for your kindness but I should be going now" said Clementine, and with that she walked out of Sunstreaker's sight.
"Poor girl, I wish I could do more for her but I don't think she would want the help" Sunstreaker thought to himself.
Susntreaker threw his trash away and then transformed into his car mode and drove away, but unknown to him a pair of red eyes was watching him from the distance.
"I've finally made contact with the Autobot, maybe this girl can help me locate him" said the voice.
The next day Clementine was walking next to a park and she saw some children with their parents, deep down she was jealous of them that they had happy lives.
"Why can't that be me, why did my parents abandon me" Clementine thought sadly.
Clementine wanted to cry but didn't want to in public so she decided to go into an alley way, once she entered she sat down and cried, but soon she heard a car's engine, she got up and saw a red sports car, she thought it belonged to the gang of boys that were harassing her.
"Look I told you I'm not giving you your money now shove off" said Clementine.
Before Clementine knew it the red sports car ran into her causing her to fall hard on the ground, Clementine was shocked she knew not even the boys would run people over in a car, soon the car was jumping forwards at her much to her surprise and then something strange happened a pair of torture devices came out of each headlight..
"Okay okay dude what do you want" Clementine asked in a panicked tone.
The torture devices then went back into the headlights and the red car transformed and it was the Decepticon Dead End (HIS APPEARANCE IS FROM G1).
"Hello my dear" said Dead End.
Clementine tried to run away but Dead End caught up with Clementine and Dead End threw her onto a broken car.
"This has got to be a bad dream" said Clementine with fright.
"Are you the one who talked with the Autobot Sunstreaker" said Dead End raising his fists as if to punch Clementine.
"I don't know what you're talking about" said Clementine.
"Are you the one who talked with the Autobot Sunstreaker" said Dead End more menacingly.
"Yeah" Clementine said.
"Where is he off to this tie where is Sunstreaker" said Dead End angrily.
Meanwhile Sunstreaker was outside the city limits getting ready for his journey out of Bellevue when he heard Clementine's screams much to his horror, he was worried that Clementine once again was having trouble with those boys.
"Clementine, no, must help at once" said Sunstreaker and he transformed into his car mode and drove towards the disturbance.
Dean End was continuing to terrify Clementine.
"Where did Sunstreaker go next" Dead End asked.
"I don't know he probably left Bellevue" said Clementine.
"Useless" said Dead End.
Dead End raised his fist ready to finish Clementine off, but Sunstreaker arrived and did a donut and tripped Dead End who fell backwards, Sunstreaker opened his driver's door opened for Clementine to get in.
"Clementine come with me" said Sunstreaker.
"But I" Clementine tried to say but was interrupted by Sunstreaker.
"Clementine please get in if you want to live" pleaded Sunstreaker.
Well, Clementine wasted no time and got in Sunstreaker.
"Alright buckle up and hold on" said Sunstreaker closing his driver's door.
Clementine buckled up and Sunstreaker shot off as fast as he could from Dead End, Dead End got up and transformed into his car mode and proceeded to chase after Sunstreaker and Clementine, Sunstreaker turned onto a dirt road win the outskirts of the town with Dead End catching up behind him and Clementine, Clementine was clearly freaked out.
"We're going to die, we're going to die" said Clementine in a panicked voice.
"Not if I can help it" said Sunstreaker.
Sunstreaker got off the road and and was about to crash into a giant window in an abandoned factory much to Clementine's horror.
"We are now" said Clementine and she shut her eyes.
Sunstreaker crashed into the window harming neither himself or Clementine, but Dead End followed right behind them.
The chase happened until nightfall and Sunstreaker hid around a corner, Dead End was driving all over the place looking for them, but was unable to locate them much to their relief.
"What are we going to do now" asked Clementine.
"We fight" Sunstreaker replied.
"What" said Clementine with a quiet shocked voice trying not to draw attention to both her and Sunstreaker.
"Here's the plan you get out and hide and I fight Dead End, once I'm done I'll come and get you" Sunstreaker explained.
"What makes you think you can defeat him" asked Clementine.
"Honestly it's just a hunch" said Sunstreaker with a smile in his voice.
Sunstreaker reved his engine really loudly drawing Dead End's attention, Dead End started driving towards their direction, Sunstreaker pulled out and opened his driver's door to let Clementine out, once Clementine got out Sunstreaker transformed into his robot mode Dead End did the same thing and preceded to tackle Sunstreaker, Sunstreaker and Dead End dueled while Clementine ran way, Dead End saw that Clementine was running to hide.
"Oh no you don't" said Dean End punching Sunstreaker in the face.
After knocking Sunstreaker away for a moment Dead End launched Frenzy (HIS APPEARANCE IS FROM G1) from his chest, Frenzy then chased after Clementine, Sunstreaker tried to go after Frenzy but was prevented from doing so by Dead End and they continued their fight, Sunstreaker could only pray that Clementine would be okay, Clementine reached a barbed wire fence and was pondering how to get over it.
"Crap how do I get over that" Clementine asked herself.
Just then Frenzy appeared out of no where and jumped on Clementine's head, with all her strength tossed Frenzy off of her, but then to Clementine's horror, Frenzy transformed his arms into big hydraulic crushers.
"First I crack the shell, then I crack the nuts inside" said Frenzy.
Frenzy then used his crushers to cause a small earthquake around him and Clementine, Clementine could hardly stand, but then she saw something nearby that she could used to stop Frenzy, she saw a decent length pipe, Clementine fell over and began to crawl towards the pipe.
"Little girl with a nasty bite, not so tough now are you" said Frenzy.
Clementine finally reached the pipe and grabbed it but Frenzy didn't see this, Clementine tossed the pipe and it hit Frenzy in the head causing him to lose his concentration and stop the earthquake, the pipe rolled back to Clementine who grabbed it and walked over to Frenzy who was still holding his head in pain.
"You bad girl" said Frenzy angrily.
"That's affirmative action" said Clementine with a smile.
Clementine raised the pipe like it was a baseball and hit Frenzy knocking him away, Sunstreaker continued to fight Sunstreaker punched Dead Wind knocking him into some power lines knocking him out, the fight was now over, Sunstreaker saw Clementine perfectly fine.
"Well done Clementine you took on a Decepticon all by yourself and lived" said Sunstreaker with a smile.
"I guess my baseball skills came in handy" said Clementine "so what happens now" she asked.
"Well you did say you wanted to travel the United States and the Decepticons think you're a target now, so you can come travel with me if you want" Susntreaker proposed.
Clementine thought about it for a moment, but soon came up with an answer.
"Yes please, your the first person to ever show me kindness and I consider you a good friend, and friends must stick with each other" said Clementine.
"You're right about that" said Sunstreaker "shall we form an alliance, you help me and I'll help you" he said.
"Sounds awesome to me" said Clementine with excitement.
With a smile Sunstreaker transformed into his car mode and Clementine got in.
"As my first companion you get to chose a location, where would you like to go" Sunstreaker asked.
"Well I do want to go to the mountains and fields of Montana if we can" said Clementine.
"As you wish" said Sunstreaker with a smile in his voice.
And with that the allies started their adventure.
Hours later a grey pick up truck entered the area Sunstreaker and Dead End had their battle, the truck stopped in front of Dead End, the truck proceeded to transform into a robot, this robot was the Decepticon known as Offroad (HIS APPEARANCE IS FROM THE COMBINER WARS TOY), Offroad kicked Dead End waking him up.
"What" Dead End said sleepily.
"Get up" said Offroad crossly.
Dead End got up now acknowledging Offroad's presence.
"Lord Galvatron wants to speak with you" said Offroad.
"Oh no" Dead End thought nervously.
Offroad pulled up a hologram of Galvatron who was wanting Dead End 's status.
"Have you terminated Sunstreaker yet" Galvatron asked.
"Well you see Lord Galvatron there were some complications, there was this human girl and well she was a good distraction and well Sunstreaker got away" said Dead End nervously.
"Offroad I don't want this slime in my sight" said Galvatron angrily.
Offroad simply shoved Dead End to where Galvatron couldn't see him anymore.
"This turn of events is unfortunate, Sunstreaker is carrying vital information, I would have killed Dead End myself for his failure but if it weren't for the loss of our moon base and my scattered troops, Dead End is lucky to be alive right now" said Galvatron.
"Yes my Lord" said Offroad.
"I want you to accompany Dead End to destroy Sunstreaker, I want you to supervise Dead End, I want no mistakes, do you understand" said Galvatron sternly.
"Yes Lord Galvatron I will not fail you" said Offroad.
With that Offroad went to Dead End to speak with him.
"Go and fetch Frenzy and then we must make up for lost time and go after Sunstreaker" said Offroad.
"At once" said Dead End.
"Dead End you and I will be working much more closely" said Offroad in a threatening manner frightening Dead End.
