Sally just stared up at Sideways giving him the coldest glare imaginable,
not moving an inch. While the others were introducing themselves back at
the base. Rachel and Brent looked over at her and gave her the look not to
say anything about Sideways. She just glared back but nodded her head any
way.
"So who are you five?" asked Optimus
"My name's Tim."
"I'm Richard."
"The name is Brent."
"I'm called Sally."
"And my name is Rachel, but you can call me Rach."
The Autobots then introduced themselves on at a time. When they were finished Red Alert asked them,
"What were you kids doing in the woods in the first place. It's very far from any houses."
They all glanced at each other nervously, each trying to think of an answer.
"Well?" asked Optimus
"We were just exploring in those woods that end near where we're staying and we got lost." said Richard
Everyone's hearts were beating fast as they nervously waited to see if they bought it.
"Do you need a ride back?" asked Hot Shot
"No, we were staying at a hotel and we just checked out today, so we have no place to stay now." answered Rachel
"Well I suppose that it'll be alright for you guys to stay here for awhile. We have an extra room you guys can use. Smokescreen can show you where it is." said Optimus
"Thanks." they all said before they followed Smokescreen to their room. When they got their Smokescreen opened the door for them and showed them in. "I'll leave you guys to put your stuff where you want it. There are some blankets and pillows in the door over there. Oh and just to warn you Hot Shot is right next door and he talks in his sleep."
"I DO NOT!" they heard Hot Shot yell
They all began cracking up as they began to set up beds for them selves with the blankets. When they heard the door shut and were sure nobody was outside the door they turned to each other and began talking.
"What are we going to do?" asked Tim
"I think we should spill the beans on Sideways so he doesn't betray the Autobots and lets Starscream get the Star Saber." said Sally
"I don't think that's a good idea. We risk everything getting messed up, also he could tell Megatron about us." said Brent
"Besides they get it back. And we risk not having Scavenger being able to get away from the Decepticons." said Richard
"But he tricks Hot Shot! I don't want to hand over the Star Saber to Starscream. Who then ends up giving it to Megatron. And besides they lose it again remember?!" said Sally
Brent and Sally began arguing about what to do till Richard asked loudly,
"What do you think Rachel?"
Everybody then turned and faced her.
"Man I hate being put on the spot." she muttered
"Well?" asked Sally impatiently
"I think it would be smarter if we kept our mouths shut about it. I want to keep the Decepticons from getting the star saber as well. But we also have to take in consideration that Sideways can tell Megatron about us. And I don't know about you but I don't want a bunch of Decepticons coming after me. Besides when I said Scavenger's name I already risked Megatron finding out, so all I can do is hope that Scavenger doesn't tell anyone." she then bent down and grabbed a candy bar then began to walk out the door.
"Hey where are you going?" asked Brent
"For a walk. If you guys vote about it before I get back, then I'm against telling them."
She then went out side and just began walking around outside taking care not to get too far from the base so she wouldn't get lost. When she stopped to finish the candy bar she noticed something glowing out of the corner of her eye. She went to go check it out.
"Oh wow, I think it's a Minicon." she said to herself as she began shifting some rock. When she was done she saw a Minicon panel and picked it up. It then began to glow. Then a gray and dark blue Minicon was standing right in front of her.
"Hi my name's Rachel. What's yours?"
"My name is Springer. Where am I?"
"You're on Earth. About a 15 minute walk from the Autobots base."
Suddenly the ground shook. Turning around, Rachel spotted Megatron and the other Decepticons.
"Oh boy." she said
"You there human, hand over that Minicon now. And I might spare your life."
Rachel just stood there doing some quick thinking. Then whispered to Springer,
"Hey can you transform into anything?"
"A skate board, why?"
"When I give the signal transform ok."
"I have given you your chance." said Megatron as he reached down to grab them
"Ok. Now!"
Springer then transformed and Rachel hopped on and they sped away.
"Don't just stand there you fools! Go after them!" yelled Megatron
"Yes sir!" they all replied as they transformed and chased after them Cyclonus and Starscream then flew ahead of the others and transformed right in front of Rachel and Springer. The force of them landing caused Rachel to lose her balance and fall backwards off of Springer. He then transformed and rushed to help her up. Cyclonus and Starscream began to walk towards them.
"Oh man we're in trouble now." she said to Springer
"You can say that again." he replied
Rachel was looking around for someplace to hide when she saw the woods.
"Come on! We can hide in the woods over there till the Autobots show up." said Rachel and they ran towards the woods
"Give it up you pathetic human. There is no where for you to run." said Starscream as he and Cyclonus transformed again and followed them
"Who you calling pathetic?! You over grown piece of scrap!" she yelled back
"Why.you little." he said
"I don't think that was a very good idea." said Springer
"I know, but I get mad easily." she replied glaring back at Starscream
They then quickly ran off the path that they were on and under the shelter of the trees so the Decepticons couldn't see them. Rachel then turned to Springer and said, "Listen the base is about half a mile that way. Go and get help, I'll follow and try to keep them busy."
"How?" he asked puzzled
"I'll have to figure that out. But don't worry I grew up in the country and had a bunch of woods around me so I'll be fine."
"I can't risk you getting hurt because of me. Either you come with me or I go with you."
Rachel stares at him for a few moments then shakes her head smiling.
"Alright you win. Lets go."
They then made their way quietly towards the base. They frequently looked back whenever they heard the sound of a Decepticon. They then heard the sound of laser fire. "Sounds like the Autobots showed up." said Rachel grinning
Tim then showed up.
"Come one lets get out of here the Autobots are handling the Decepticreeps."
"I think that's going to be harder then you make it sound." said Springer
"Why?" asked Rachel
He just pointed behind her and they turned around and their blood ran cold. It was Starscream.
Tim and Rachel thought
"Looks like you have no where else to go, and no Autobots to help you." he said grinning
Rachel just glared back up at him and stood in front of Springer.
"Foolish human what do you think you can do against me?" he said as he took a step towards them
Tim, Rachel, and Springer then took a couple steps back from him.
"Can he transform into anything?"
"Just a Skateboard."
"You wanna try to make a break for it?" he asked as Starscream took another few steps closer
"Yeah I'm sure we can get pretty far before he catches us." replied Rachel rolling her eyes
Just then Hot Shot showed up and punched Starscream in the face. He looked down at Rachel and Tim and asked,
"Hey you two alright?"
"Yeah I'm ok." said Tim
"Yeah me too."
"Good you two get out of here with that Minicon and get back to the base." said Hot Shot as he turned to resume fighting with Starscream.
They then ran past him and headed back towards the base. They reached the edge of the trees and went running towards the base when a laser was fired 5 ft in front of them causing them to fly back a couple feet. They looked up and saw Megatron walking towards them grinning.
"Oh great, I thought I smelled something bad." said Rachel
"Insolent human. Hand over that Minicon and you won't get hurt."
"Where have I heard that one before." muttered Tim
"You must have blown a circuit if you think we'll hand him over to you." said Rachel
"Prepare to suffer the consequences." he said as he reached down for them
Tim and Rachel began to run away. Rachel looked back and saw that Springer was to scared to move. She ran back and pushed him out of the way just as Megatron grabbed her. Tim then grabbed him and they hid behind some boulders.
"Alright my little friend, give yourself up and I'll let your friend go. If not." he then grinned and began squeezing Rachel.
Springer was about to get up and give himself up when Tim grabbed his arm and pulled him back. And he began to protest.
"Look I know I can't understand what you're saying, but I do know that you want to help her. So do I. But Megatron is not going to keep his word. We'll just have to think of something else and quickly."
"I'm running out of patience Minicon. You better hurry and save your friend." he said laughing and squeezing harder
"Let go. of me you. over grown garbage can!''
"I'm getting really tired of your insolence human." he said glaring down at her
Just then someone fired a shot at Megatron's back and he took a few steps forward.
"Who did that? Is that you Optimus?" he demanded
"Wrong. Guess again Megatron."
Rachel turned her head as much as she could and saw that it was Sideways.
she thought
"If you know what's good for you, you'll let the kid go." he said
"You dare threaten me. I could crush your little friend in an instant if I wanted to!"
"But you're not going to till the Minicon comes out from where its hiding, and if you kill the kid you'll have some royally pissed off Autobots to deal with. Besides I'll get her before you squeeze her enough to kill her."
"You think so huh? Why don't you try it then." he replied smirking
Sideways then fired at Megatron's wrist. He grunted in pain then laughed
"You'll have to do better than that if you want this human back."
"Can you kinda hurry it up dude, this guys stench is killing me."
"Be quiet you little brat!"
Sideways then fired 3 shots at his face. Megatron fell back and let go of Rachel. She went flying through the air.
"Ahhhh!" she screamed as she began fell to the ground
Sideways Transformed and drove to where she was going to land and caught her.
"Thanks."
"Don't mention it." They turned and saw Megatron standing up glaring daggers at them.
"You think that you've won? Think again! Power Link!" he yelled
Leader 1 then power linked with him and Megatron aimed his cannon at them.
"Now Autobot prepare to meet your end." he said as he powered up his cannon to full power
"Uhh, this is just a thought but don't you think you should move?" asked Rachel
Sideways didn't say anything then out of nowhere a ball of energy came and hit Megatron knocking backwards and forcing the shot into the air.
Everybody looked over and saw Optimus on one knee with both hands out in front of him. Then Hot Shot showed up with the Star Saber along with Smokescreen. Megatron stood up and looked at Optimus and said,
"You got lucky this time Prime, but next time will be different." and then he warped back to his base.
thought Tim who was walking over with Springer
Optimus looked down at them and asked if they were ok. They all said they were.
"Except its going to take me a week to get Megatron's smell out of my clothes." said Rachel smiling
Everybody laughed at that, even Sideways. They then headed back to the base to introduce the others to the new Minicon.
That night Sally, Richard, Tim, Brent and Rachel talked about what they should do. In the end they all agreed to not say anything, even Sally though you could tell that she hated not telling them about Sideways.
"So who are you five?" asked Optimus
"My name's Tim."
"I'm Richard."
"The name is Brent."
"I'm called Sally."
"And my name is Rachel, but you can call me Rach."
