"I don't believe it," cried Rad. "There's a Mini-Con right here in town and we're just now picking up it's signal?!" Rad had a good reason to be surprised- it was rather unusual that after all this time, a Mini-Con would surface in the very town they were in.

"I'm not sure if I believe it either," replied Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. "Especially since there seems to be one more tiny piece to this puzzle."

"What's that, Optimus?" asked Alexis.

"Not only has this Mini-Con awoken, but it has been activated as well!" Carlos and Rad's jaws dropped, Alexis' eyes widened and the Autobots stared at their leader.

"Activated?" asked Alexis. "You mean that there's a little Mini-Con running around out there and it's not on either side?"

"That's exactly what I mean, Alexis," said Optimus. "Which is why it is vital that we find it before the Decepticons do. This Mini-Con may have been activated by a human- just as you activated High Wire, Rad. If this is true, that human is in danger until we find them." Rad nodded as Carlos bit his lip for a moment.

"Hey Optimus," he said, finally. "How long do you think this Mini-Con has been activated?"

"Probably not very long, Carlos," he replied. "Unless..." He thought for a moment. "Red Alert- do you remember back about eleven years ago when we shut down the Decepticon's radar and shut down our own as well?" Red Alert nodded.

"Yeah, I remember. Why?" Hot Shot suddenly spat out an answer.

"I got it!" he said, "Each Mini-Con only transmits one signal when it is discovered. If it was discovered when the radar was found, we wouldn't have known about it." Optimus nodded.

"Right on, Hot Shot."

"Wait a second," said Carlos. "Even if the Mini-Cons only transmit one discovery signal, we still located it- but shouldn't we have picked up on it before now?" Smoke Screen shook his head.

"Not necessarily, Carlos," he said. "If the Mini-Con has been on the move, there is really no way of tracking it with our equipment- ours is programmed to find the Mini-Cons that are inactive, not the ones that are up and moving around. I'm still trying to figure out how we got this one."

"Come on!" said Optimus. "That Mini-Con seems to be moving and moving fast- we've got to find it!" As the Autobots and the kids headed towards the teleportation room, Rad suddenly remembered something he had seen at school that day. A new girl named Sarah, who was in most of his, Carlos and Alexis' classes, had left school that afternoon, riding on a rather unique looking BMX bike. He asked Carlos and Alexis if they had seen Sarah's bike. When they admitted they had, and that it did look sort of like a Mini-Con, Rad automatically informed Optimus of his memory and asked what he thought.

"Well, Rad, it's definitely worth checking out."

Meanwhile, halfway across town, my adventure was merely beginning. My name is Sarah- don't ask for a last name, because I don't have on to give you, but I am the Sarah Rad was talking about. I was riding around town on... you may not believe this, but I was riding around on a orange and blue BMX that turned into a robot, not much smaller than myself. I didn't know it at the time, but it was one of the Mini-Cons that the Transformers were looking for. Then again, I sort of did know- the reason I was riding that BMX at break-neck speed at this moment in time was to get away from a group of huge (and I mean HUGE) robots that were on my tail. And they didn't seem the least bit friendly.

"Jazz, is there anyway we can lose them?" I asked my BMX- don't think I'm crazy, the thing really talks! Well, it beeps, but I understand what it says! And he was beeping his little heart out.

"Yeah," he said. "Go FASTER!" Jazz's front wheel went into the air as he gassed it and we went as fast as we could go with out starting to fly. I looked behind me to see how close the giant robots were. Unfortunately, I could still see them clearly and I didn't like what I was seeing- they were transforming from robots to different motor vehicles.

The first to change had originally been a gray robot, with yellow propeller type things on his back- that was before it turned into a helicopter. The second was a darker gray with white and red wing-tipped shoulders... that made sense, considering he turned into a jet. The next was three different shades of green, all ugly ones, with some red, and turned into a tank, while the last one was the one I was worried about. He seemed to be the leader- one who gave directions every five seconds. He was a dark purplish color, and like the green and red dude, he turned into a tank- and was gaining fast on me and Jazz.

"Cyclonis!" he yelled. "Kill the child if you have to, but don't hurt the Mini-Con!"

"Yes Megatron!" the Helicopter replied. Oh yeah, I really wanted to hear that- on the bright side, I knew then names of some of the.... things chasing me.

"We've got a problem, Jazz," I said. "These guys seem to want you bad and they don't care what they need to do to get it... oh no." I focused my attention to the road in front of me and noticed more giant robots... and Jazz seemed to be heading right for them. "Jazz, where the heck are you going?" I cried. "You're heading right for them!"

"Don't worry, Sare," he beeped back. "These are the good guys- trust me."

"Are you positive?"
"Have I ever lied to you before?"

"No, not that I know of."

"Well, why start now?" I thought for a moment.

"Okay," I said. "Let's do it!"

As Jazz and I headed towards the other set of robots, the helicopter, Cyclonis, fired a missile that landed less than a foot away from Jazz's back tire. I went flying through the air and slammed my head on a rock when I hit the ground. My eyes were open long enough to see Jazz land not to far away from me and a group of people run over to me and kneel at my side. I looked at them with a confused expression on my face.

"Rad?" I asked. "Carlos, Alexis?" The three of them nodded and I heard Carlos say something just before I passed out: "You're safe, Sarah."
