A few minutes ago, Autobot Jazz awoke after being involved in a shuttle crash, his friend Cliffjumper, though wasn't so lucky. He absorbed a lot of damage in the crash and now lies on the verge of death. Jazz asked Azzra, the head nurse at the medical center, to take him to see the doctor to talk about Cliffjumper's health. But wait! There's more! A shuttle full of evil Xiatronians is making it's way to Demicron to "Collect" Jazz and Cliffjumper for scientific study!

"This is Doctor Nightwatch's office," began Azzra, "Doctor Nightwatch is the chief doctor at this medical center."

"Well, let's knock and see if anyone's home." said Jazz, knocking at the door.

"Come in." said Nightwatch.

"Doctor Nightwatch is this a bad time?" asked Azzra.

"Not at all Azzra, come in," said Nightwatch, who turned to Jazz, "I take it your one of the ones from the shuttle wreck, what's your name?"

"The names Jazz, doc." Jazz replied

"And how are you feeling right now, Mr. Jazz?" Nightwatch asked

"That's not important right now, doc," Jazz replied, "I'm here to talk to you about Cliffjumper's condition. How's it looking?"

"To be quite frank," Nightwatch answered, "It doesn't look good. For him to have any chance of survival, he needs some new components, if we don't get new components for him, he'll surely die."

"Don't you guys have any components to spare?" Jazz asked.

"We do," Nightwatch answered, "But they're all components built exclusively for Demicronians."

"Is there any other way?" Jazz asked.

"I'm afraid not," replied Nightwatch, " I'm sorry, but we were not prepared to save an alien's life."

"Alien… Wait! That's it!" exclaimed Jazz, having just thought of an idea.

"What are you thinking?" asked Nightwatch.

"What if I were able to find some Cybertronian components?" asked Jazz, "Would you be able to save Cliffjumper then?"

"We might," replied Nightwatch, "But even if you find components for him, it's not a hundred percent that he'll survive."

"It's worth a shot, doc." replied Jazz

"Where in the world do you plan on finding Cybertronian components?" Nightwatch asked.

"We usually have some spares in shuttles in case of an emergency," answered Jazz, "I think at least one set might have made it through the crash OK."

"And how do you plan on retrieving these components?" asked Nightwatch, "You can't go alone in your condition."

"Listen, doc," Jazz explained, "We don't have the time to get one of your forces together."

"You underestimate us," Nightwatch retorted, "This medical center is attached to our main headquarters, I'll contact the Starions"

"Starions?" asked Jazz, with a confused tone, "Who're they?"

"The Starions," Nightwatch said, "Are our fastest warriors. They'll be able to get there in no time."

"They think they're fast, eh," Jazz said, "I'll show them a thing or two about speed!"

"You'll see…" said Nightwatch, laughing.

"Whatever, doc," Jazz said, "Just get your so called speed demons in here so we can get out of here"

"Alright then," Nightwatch said, activating a communication link with the fortress, "Yes, this is Nightwatch, I need the Starions here A.S.A.P."

"Right away, Doctor Nightwatch!" the voice on the other end said.

"How long does it usually take these guys to get down here?" asked Jazz.

"Well," Nightwatch began, "On good days, they can make it here in about a minute."

Exactly after saying that, five bright gold robots stepped into the room.

"You called for us, Doctor Nightwatch?" one of them asked.

"Yes I did," Nightwatch replied, "Mr. Jazz, allow me to introduce you to Starlight, Starray, Super Nova, Doggstar, and Neutron, the Starions!"

"It's a pleasure, guys," Jazz started, "But I'm in a major hurry, and I'd appreciate it if we could hurry it up."

"No problem, Jazz," Starlight said, "You say hurry, nobody hurries like the Starions!"

"That's great," Jazz said, "Lets go!"

"Alright then," Starlight said to the other Starions, "You heard the man… Let's Go!"

The six robots run outside, Jazz transforms into car mode and speeds off.

"This guy thinks he's faster than us!" Doggstar said, laughing.

"Alright, Starions!" Starlight shouted, "Transform!"

With that, the five Starions transform into five bright gold fighter jets and take off, needing only a few seconds to catch up with Jazz, and only a few seconds more to pass him.

"Damn!" Jazz yelled, increasing his speed, "These guys are pretty fast."

Back at the medical center, Nightwatch and Azzra watch them speed off.

"Do you think they'll make it back in Time, Doctor Nightwatch?" Azzra asked.

"To tell you the truth, Azzra," Nightwatch said, "I don't think so."

TIME: That very moment. PLACE: The site of the shuttle crash. Another shuttle has landed, this one belonging to the evil Xiatronians, Zainex, the ruler of the Xiatronians, Gravimus, the Xiatronians head scientist, and a group of warriors step out of the shuttle.

"Well," Zainex began, "Shall we collect some samples, Gravimus?"

"Yes we should, almighty Zainex" Gravimus replied.

"Gravicons!" Zainex shouted," Go explore the insides of the shuttle! Bring out anything you find interesting!"

"That would be a pleasure, almighty Zainex!" exclaimed Zero-G, Leader of the Gravicons, a group of warriors that consists of Zero-G, Compressor, Collapser, Black Out, and Black Hole, but before they could get to the shuttle, Compressor spots something.

"Look!" Shouted Compressor, pointing up, "Something's coming!"

In the sky, the Starions spot something down below.

"Look down below, guys!" Neutron exclaimed, "Gravicons!"

"Alright, Starions," Starlight said, "Transform an prepare for battle!"

The five Starions transform and land, and begin to fight the Gravicons.

At this time, Jazz pulls up to the shuttle's remains, transforms, and goes into the remains of the shuttle, but it did not go unnoticed…

"Did you see that, almighty Zainex?" asked Gravimus, "That was not any Demicronian I've seen…"

"Yes, I did, Gravimus," Zainex replied, "It must be the alien that the craft belongs to, go retrieve him, Gravimus." After saying that, Gravimus nodded in agreement, and ran into the shuttle. Jazz was busy looking for a good set of components, not noticing Gravimus until he shot Jazz in the back.

"Arrrgh!" Jazz screamed, in pain, "Who the hell are you?!?"

"I am Gravimus, Alien," Gravimus began, "I was sent to collect you."

"Collect me," Jazz said, "Why can't you collect rocks or baseball cards like normal beings?"

"I do not like your tone, alien." said Gravimus.

"The name's Jazz, buddy, GET IT RIGHT!!!" Jazz exclaimed, throwing a punch at Gravimus. The punch connected, throwing Gravimus back.

"You have just signed your death warrant, alien!" Gravimus exclaimed as he rushed toward Jazz. A scuffle ensued, with Gravimus pinning Jazz to the floor.

"Maybe I'll take out your optics for further study." Gravimus said, grinning.

While Gravimus was gloating, Jazz reached for the gun the Gravimus had brought with him.

"Are you ready to die, Alien?" Asked Gravimus.

"To quote my good friend Springer," Jazz said, "I'VE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN DIE!!!" After saying that, Jazz grabbed the gun and blasted Gravimus right in his left optic.

"ARRRGH!" Gravimus yelled in extreme pain.

"Now take a hike, 'alien'!" Jazz exclaimed, grabbing Gravimus ant throwing him through the shuttle's wall. Gravimus flew far, landing at Zainex's feet.

"You've failed me, Gravimus," Zainex said, disappointed.

"F…Forgive me, almighty Zainex." Gravimus pleaded.

"Maybe," Zainex said, "Gravicons! We're pulling back for now! Return to the shuttle!"

After hearing their leaders commands, the Gravicons broke away from their fight with the Starions, and retreated to their shuttle.

"I shall return, alien!" Zainex exclaimed, getting into the shuttle. "Prepare yourself!" With that said, the shuttle took off for Xiatron

"We drove them away in a hurry!" Starray shouted.

"I think Jazz was the one that drove them away…" Starlight replied.

"Thanks for the complement, Starlight," Jazz said, "I think I've found some working components, so lets make tracks for the medical center!"

The six robots transformed and sped off.

EPOLOUGE: At the medical center, Nightwatch and Azzra are attending to Cliffjumper, who's on deaths door.

"Doctor Nightwatch!" Exclaimed Azzra, "We're losing him!"

"I know Azzra," Nightwatch began, "But there is nothing we can do, I'm sorry…"

With that said, Cliffjumper stopped functioning.
