pbChapter 2/b
p"Wow, that's a big ship..." Starchaser said in awe as he looked at the Axalon's outsides. 'Yes, it is a big ship,' Optimus thought. The shiny black metal on the outside looked so welcoming to the bot. Optimus was not surprised that the younger bot looked on with wonder. He felt the same every time he entered the ship.
p"Come on, Starchaser. You're going to meet your new crew members." Optimus gave Starchaser a little push to the door and they entered the Axalon. There in front of them was the main bridge of the ship. It as big and roomy, great place for a deep space exploration. In there was two other bots, one was big and green and the other was a copper color and was much smaller that Starchaser. Both bots looked at Optimus and Starchaser, and then back to each other. Optimus spoke first.
p"Welcome, Dionico and Dipper, glad you two could make it on time."
p"It's an honor to be working with you again, Optimus." The green bot said slowly.
p"Yeah, yeah, sure...hey, whose da kid?" asked the smaller bot looking straight at Starchaser, who winced. He hated being called kid.
p"Dipper," Optimus looked at the small bot, whom we now know is Dipper. Optimus then looked at Dionico who was looking at Starchaser, too. "Dionico, this is the newest bridge member of the Axalon, Starchaser."
p"Da Kid is goin' on da trip?! Man, yer whack! Does he even know what he's going to do?"
p"Hey!" Starchaser protested, "Yes I do! I'll be piloting the Axalon and working on the scanners. And I know how to work both!"
p"Oh, yeah? Prove it!"
p"Enough! Both of you!" Optimus shouted over the two Maximals. They both looked up at the taller bot and blushed. "This is our first day, lets not spoil it. Okay?"
p"Yes, oh fearless leader." Dipper muttered under his breath, but the others still heard. Optimus shook his head.
p"Sure thing, Big Bot." Starchaser replied, then asked, "What do you want me to do, now?"
p"Go put your stuff in your new quarters, then head back here so we can have a meeting."
pStarchaser nodded and left with his luggage. Dipper shook his head and turned to Optimus. "We're did yous come up with dat bot? A nursery school?"
pOptimus sharply stared at the small bot. "For your information, Dipper. No, I didn't. I got him from an orphanage, not that you need to know. So I would be a little bit kinder to him if I was you. If not for Starchaser's sake," Optimus pointed his finger into Dipper's chest plate, "For yours."
pDipper gulped, "Okay, OKAY!" he sighed, "I'll be nice," then he looked up at Optimus, as if a threat, "But only for my sake...okay?"
p"Okay."
pDipper left the room; themselves left Optimus and Dionico. "He never changes, does he?"
pDionico shook his head, "No, Optimus. He never does." Optimus chuckled, then turned to Dionico, "its great to see you again, old friend. It's been years."
p"Yes, it certainly is. It's been a long time since I was in your ranks. It feels good to know I have a trusting leader again."
pThey both laughed and talked about old times.
p~o~o~o~
pStarchaser was placing his stuff in the drawers and on the shelves when a knock on his door. He stopped unpacking his stuff and walked to the door, but he didn't open it. He never did, not after what happen to The General...
p"Who's there?" Starchaser asked.
p"It's me, kiddo. Dipper, open up!"
p"What do you want know, Dipper? You want to 'change my diapers'?"
p"No . . .I'll do dat later." Starchaser couldn't help but laugh. "Really, I came here ta...apologize." Dipper muttered.
p"What? I can't hear you!" Starchaser snickered.
p"I said I came here to say 'I'm sorry'."
p"I still can't here you! You must speak louder!"
p"I said I'm sorry! Okay!" Starchaser was about to tease him some more when a vision over came his optics.
pi**BOOM!!!**
pStarchaser felt the blasts of the other ship hitting the Axalon. 'What is going on here?' he thought. 'How did I get here?'
p"Starchaser! Get that gun online! And hurry!" Optimus yelled to the young Maximal.
p"Right, Big Bot! I'm on it!" 'Chaser looked down at the weapon council. He got the guns online and started to fire at the Predacon ship. "Yes got-" before he could his statement, Starchaser was blasted from his council. 'Oh, Primus...the PAIN!' Every part of Starchaser's body burned. "Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" he screamed out in terror and pain. "OPTIMUS!!!!!!"
p"Noooo! Starchaser!" Optimus cried out. He got out of his seat to help the young bot when another blast from the other ship hit the Axalon. Optimus went flying. Starchaser forgot his pain for a moment and watched Optimus fly threw the air. He landed against a wall and went off-line; Starchaser's eyes widen in terror! "NOOOOO! OPTIMUS!!!!!" Then Starchaser's pain back again, only this time it came on head strong, he couldn't block it anymore.../i
p"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
p"Say what?" Dipper was surprised at the outburst of the young Maximal, and it sounded like he was in pain. "Starchaser! What is happening? Are yous hurt? Starchaser, please speak to me!!"
pStarchaser never felt like that before in his whole life, he knew it was a dream, but...it felt so real. "Yeah, I...just slammed my hand in a drawer, that's all...sorry, Dipper."
p"Oh, yeesh! If yous make dat much noise over a slammed hand, I wonder what ya sound like if yous caught on fire, ya know what I'm sayin'?" Dipper laughed, then got serious, "And if ya do sometin' like that again, I'll slag ya! Yous almost gave me a heart-attack, kiddo."
pBad choice of words... Starchaser thought grimly and opened the door.
p"Well, finally! I thought I was goin' to be out there forever."
pStarchaser shrugged, "Sorry, I wanted to tease you a bit."
p"Dat's okay, kiddo. It's time for da meeting anyway, we'll talk after, okay?"
p"Cool...races you!" Starchaser took off down the hall, toward the bridge. Dipper was stunned. The pretended he was mad.
p"Oh, yeah? I don't want to see your tush all the way there..." with that, Dipper ran off after him.
