Disclaimer: I do not own the Autobots, or Decepticons mentioned. Those who
created them own them. I do own the future Autobots and the future
Decepticons as well Tina and Circuit, so back off for them.
.........................................
Last time, Powerline was trying out his new invention and ran into Database in cyberspace. Some how, the Decepticon switched bodies with the young Autobot and tried to get into the future Autobots' files on their crash ship. Powerline escapes and fights off Database and switch back bodies and with the help of Grind; the two combine and form Powergrind. What will happen next? Tune in and find out.
.........................................
It was a sunrise and Red Star was on one of the many mountain cliffs around the Autobots' base. Around her were many slice up rock, perfectly slice into two. She was standing on the edge, pulling her sword back into her wings as she looked out into the desert. Her purple optics had a lonely feeling to them was she sigh.
"What is wrong with me?" She asked herself.
That had been her question to herself for every day of her life. She didn't have a clue but she felt that something wasn't right. That she shouldn't be an Autobot. No, she could think like that. She was program to be an Autobot one thing she was sure of, but still...
She looked out at the sun. She knew there was a truth to her and maybe she would find her answer here. She transformed into her fighter jet form and flew off.
.........................................
"You failed!"
"Stand back! he going to blow!" yelled Skybyte as he and the other Decepticons took cover from their fearless leader.
Resurrect was yelling at Database over the last mission. Cyclonus, Demolisher and Starscream couldn't believe that how much he was like Megatron, of course none of them want to say anything. The future Decepticons knew of this and was prepared of their leader's anger and what happen to those who had anger him. Remember, he did turn someone into a trash can.
"Sir, if you would let me tell you..." said Database but Resurrect interrupted him.
"No! You failed and now we don't even have those files!" yelled Resurrect.
"I do have them if you just let me speak!" yelled back Database.
Shut Resurrect up. Database coughed at raising his voice. "Sir, I had already loaded the files into my memory bank and when the young Autobots switch us back the files came with me, the disk was just a decoy."
"Smart bot," said Tailback.
"The only one we got," whisper Overload under his breath.
"So, anything that can be use again Prime?" asked Megatron feeling mad about him being out of the picture.
"Yes," said Database, as he turned to a blank metal wall and brought up one of the download files, "This one is about one of the Autobots from our time I do believe this one shall be very interesting,"
"Oooo," said Skybyte and Cyclonus as they read it and understood it, which was very rare.
"How...?" puzzle Starscream with a look on his face.
"I believe we can use this to our advantage," said Megatron with an evil grin.
.........................................
"Here, minicon, come to Fast Track!" called Fast Track.
"You know that it in a panel right?" asked Rad looking up at that big bot.
""No, but it could be active," said Fast Track.
"You nuthead!" yelled Side-Stream as he whacked his partner in the head.
"This is not going to end well," sigh Alexis as the four human quickly walked away from the two fighting Autobots.
"Any sigh of the minicon, Highwire?" asked Rad.
Nothing, yet, said the blue minicon.
How much longer, my wheels are tried, complained Sureshock.
Hush up, will you, we just started said Grindor.
Are you always like this? asked Circuit.
No, just when Sureshock is bored, tried, playing, walking, fighting... said Highwire as he started to list things off.
This could take awhile sighed Grindor.
Hey! yelled Sureshock at his fellow minicon as the group walked away laughing.
Suddenly there was a huge gust of win came over the area. The kids and the minicon looked up to see a blur of red, black and white starting to land in front of them.
"Ah! Starscream!" yelled Carlos and Sureshock as they both grabbed a hold of each other.
"For the last time, I'm not Starscream," said Red Star to the scared human and his minicon as she landed in front of them.
"Oops, sorry," apologized Carlos, "It just...you kind of look like him."
Red Star looked hurt at that comment. She never thought of that much. There was some things that were the same about them. They were both fighter jet, with the same colour, but she had a little more white. Of course, there was their wing sword. The kids and Autobots thought it was stranger to see her with the same kind of weapon as a Decepticon. She never thought it was weird, in fact she love her sword, it was part of her and who she was. Then again...
"Where are the others?" she asked just then was a rustle in the woods.
Out came Side-Stream and Fast Track. The two looked fairly beat up. Side-Stream had energon coming from his lip while Fast Track had the Autobot's version of a black eye.
"I swear, you two are worst then children," she said.
"We know you love us," said Fast Track before Side-Stream whacked him in the head again.
Then laser fire came at them. Red Star quickly covered the children while Side-Stream and Fast Track took fighting positions. They could hear the filmier laugh of Cyclonus overhead, and for such he was there with Skybyte and Starscream. Red Star felt the anger rise inside herself as she drew out her sword and prepare of battle.
"Lookie, three little Autobots and humans, it must our lucky day," laugh Cyclonus.
"Do you ever shut up!" yelled out Side-Stream.
"Believe me, we tried," sigh Starscream.
"Kids, you better hid," said Red Star as she started to hover, "This are going to get mess,"
"Right" agree Rad as he leaded the charge away from the battle.
"We better call in the others," said Side-Stream.
"No, we can handle them," said Red Star ready for a battle.
She quickly flew up and started to hack at Starscream, but he was too fast for her, but not fast enough. She clipped him a couple times, but he quickly flew off. She transformed and followed the seeker to a clearing. The two land and stood across from each other, weapon draw.
"You think you're a match for me?" sneer Starscream.
"Yeah, and maybe even more," said Red Star as she charge at her opponent.
What she didn't notice was this was a trap. She cross the trick wire and set an energon chain trapping her inside it. She felt like such a fool for falling for such an easy trap and the others didn't know where she was.
"This is just peachy," she grumbled.
"What do we have here?" said dark voice from behind her.
Red Star look to see the big loser Resurrect was standing there with Database and his right hand man, Overload. She felt the need to break free and gut them like the fish that they were, but there were not luck with that.
"What do you want?" she demand.
"Nothing, I just want to talk," said Resurrect trying to sound innocent.
"You never want to talk with out another motive," Red Star pointed out.
"True, so very true," he said walking in front of her, "Can I asks you something?"
"I'm not going anywhere, but once I get out of here you will wish you were never brought on-line," she threaten.
"Do you remember anything of important when you were brought on- line?" he asked.
Red Star puzzled over the question. Why would he ask that? It made not sense.
"There was a metal shortage, why do you ask?" she asked him.
Resurrect chuckle, "Did you ever wonder why you were created during a time when metal was hard to come by when there was a better use for it?"
"No, not really," she answer, "Why, should I?"
"Maybe," said Resurrect with a sly smiled.
"What are you driving at, Resurrect!" yelled Red Star, "Why would you spend all this trouble catching me and asked questions about my history if there wasn't something behind it!"
Resurrect glared at her, but she didn't back down she glared at him too. Resurrect cough and regain himself, "I only going to tell you the truth, a truth which your so call friends "forgot" to tell you,"
"Oh yeah, like I would ever listen to you about your version of the truth," she scoffed.
"You should considering what you are made of and the chips that are still inside of you," he said.
"So what!?" yelled Red Star getting pissed off at this line of questions.
"That maybe..."
"Say it already, you hunk of junk!" yelled Red Star ready to blow a circuit.
Resurrect smiled at the distressed Autobot. This was going to be too easy.
.........................................
"Die, Decepticon!" yelled Spitfire as she use her mallet of power against Demolisher while Radar clawed at Tailback.
"I don't think she had forgotten about the little bug thing," whisper Powerline.
"You think," said Smokescreen as he duck under one of Ballistics' punches.
"Feel the power of my mighty mallet!" yelled Spitfire as she crush Demolisher off-line and continue to whack away.
"Calm down girl, he is off-line," said Scavenger picking her up by the mallet.
"Die! All the Decepticon die!" she cried out.
"Remind me not to get on her bad side," said Hot Shot.
"Where are the kids and the others?" asked Red Alert looking around the area.
"Here we are!" called out Fast Track as he came into view with Rad, Alexis, Carlos and Tina on his shoulder with Side-Stream behind him with the minicons and a new small white and green one.
"Nice to see you are all ok, and that you found the minicon," said Optimus.
"Yeah, it see I have a new partner," said Side-Stream.
Howdy folks, the name is X-Brawn and I ready to right some of those Decepticons varmints," beep the minicon.
""Well, it nice to add you to your team, X-Brawn," said Optimus.
"Where is Red Star? She was with you guys," asked Omega.
"Calm down boss, your girlfriend will be alright, she just head after Starscream," said Fast Track.
"She when after Starscream by herself and... SHE NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" yelled Omega.
"Ok...so what did we miss?" asked Fast Track.
"Nothing much, just the Decepticon lackeys show up this time," said Hot Shot.
"Weird, why would Resurrect and Megatron not come, they always like to brag and saying how they will destroy you guys, rule the universe, bah bah," said Fast Track making hand gestures.
"They do like doing that," said Omega agreeing with his friend.
"Hey, I wouldn't complain," said Grind, "You should be glad not to handle the jerks for one time in your life."
"Grind, we have to be careful, we don't know what they are planning," said Powerline.
"I agree," said Tina, "I got this feeling that they are up to something not good."
"Tina, they always up to something bad," said Carlos, "They are the bad guys, evil beings that want to kill us all."
"Yeah I know that but it just I have this feeling that something is up and it has something to do with Red Star," said Tina.
"Did you have another dream?" asked Optimus.
After what happen to Powerline and what she said about her dream, Optimus started to think there was something about this human. She had foreseen the bad things about them and had already knew of the future Autobots.
"Yeah, she was standing on this path with a fork in the middle. One side was bright and the other looked so clod and dark. She looked so scared and confuse, like she didn't know what was going on. Then she started to head down the dark path, which at the end was this great evil force," said Tina feeling so scared of her dream.
"Ok, so what does that mean?" asked Fast Track.
"Do you think I know," said Hot Shot.
"Maybe?" smiled Fast Track.
"Idiot," moaned Side-Stream.
"Well I think we better find Red Star and asked her if she has any meaning to the dream," said Optimus, "Omega, you and Hot Shot head north with Scavenger, Smokescreen, you take Grind and Powerline and head east, the rest of you come with me,"
"Yes, sir,"
.........................................
"I...what," said Rd Star with her mouth wide open.
"You heard me," smiled Resurrect.
"No...It can't be true," said Red Star.
"Face it, Star," said Resurrect, "You have be fighting for the wrong transformers."
"No, I'm not made of..."
"...Of the left over of Starscream's body, face it femme, you are a Decepticon," said Resurrect.
Red Star stayed silent of a change. She didn't want to believe him, she couldn't believe, she wouldn't believe him. He was the scum of the world. Resurrect wasn't able to tell the truth, he was the physical form of evil. All the Decepticons were evil, she wasn't...was she. No, she wasn't going to let him get to her, she was stronger then that.
"Tell me, hadn't you never felt the need to be on your own, do things with out the other Autobots another?" asked Resurrect.
"Sometimes, but don't tell you don't feel that when you have to work with idiots as Skybyte and Cyclonus," she laugh before she got serious, "You think that I would join you if you told me, right?"
"The thought might have cross my mind so what of it?" said Resurrect.
"I would never join you in a million eons, you hear. I believe in my friends and my team and they wouldn't care if I was made from a Decepticon or not," she said with a winning smile.
Resurrect growled at her responds. This was not going good, she was suppose to side with them willingly. He knew that there was one other way and that why Database was here. He would "sort" out the problem.
"Database, take care of her," order Resurrect.
"Resurrect, if she doesn't want to join you just use her as bait," suggest Overload.
"No! She is the strongest Autobot next to Omega and Optimus, beside they wouldn't want to hurt their friend," said Resurrect.
"I don't like this," grumble Starscream.
"Well, you do share this connection with her, but they shouldn't be a consider of yours," said Resurrect, "Just kept an eye out of the Autobots. They are bound to be looking for their lost friend."
Starscream grumble and turned away for Resurrect. Before he did, he gave Red Star a look. It was one of those sorry looks, why she didn't have a clue. Maybe...he didn't want her to face the problems that he had to face with the Decepticons, like Megatron. Red Star just quickly looked away and glared at Database. The white Transformer slowly advanced on to her.
"You will never turn me against my comrades, I'm made of stronger stuff then chips and circuits, beside our friendship is stronger then the raw power from energon," she said.
"Oh, we shall see Autobot," chuckle Database as wires came from his wrist that looked like snakes ready to attack their prey, "I shall take great joy from this,"
At that moment, Red Star never knew the true meaning of fear before now.
.........................................
"Where is she?" asked Omega as he clawed his way through the woods.
"Will you calm down, you even have me up thigh," said Hot Shot.
"I sorry, it just...I don't know what I would do if I lost her, or any of my friends," said Omega with his voice in a whisper.
"We'll find her," said Scavenger pulling his hand on the young Autobot's shoulder.
"Yeah, then you can smash on your girlfriend capture's face," laugh Hot Shot.
"Alright...wait....I thought I said Red Star wasn't my girlfriend!" yelled Omega.
"Well, if you don't want her, can I have her," said Hot Shot.
"Eww! You are way too old for her and she joined the Decepticons before she would go on a date with you," laugh Omega.
Suddenly, about twenty feet east of them there was this loud female scream. Omega recognized it as Red Star. Omega ran as fast as lighting to the source of the scream. Hot Shot and Scavenger had a hard time getting up with the Autobot. Omega made it first to the clearing to see the four Decepticons standing there. Database was still attached to Red Star with his wires on her body. Omega looked at his best friend, as she was off- line do to whatever they were doing to her.
"What did you do to her, Resurrect!" yelled Omega with such anger.
"You should mind your temper, Magnus," said Resurrect with a smile.
"You're avoiding the question, Resurrect" growled Omega, "What...did you...DO TO HER!"
"Go and see for yourself, if you dare," said Resurrect as he gave the signal to Database to remove his wires.
Database nodded and pulled back his wires into his body. The energon chains was turned off and Red Star's off-line body fall to the ground. Omega ran over just as Scavenger and Hot Shot show up to the scene. Omega lift Red Star's head up and try to see if there was any physical damage done to her body. That when he saw her wings. The Autobot symbol kept flickering. It was changing into something else, it turning more purple and sharper around the edges. He could see on her face that she was trying to fight something, but what.
"What happen to her?" asked Hot Shot joining Omega by his side.
"I don't know," cried Omega then glared at Resurrect, "What is happening to her!?"
"What make you think I did anything?" asked Resurrect in enjoying his rival's pain.
Omega growled at him then turned back to Red Star. Suddenly, her optic turned back on. The others were relief to see that she was ok. She looked up and saw Omega was holding her.
"...Omega," she said weakly.
"Yeah, it me, Red Star," said Omega feeling the energon tears fall down his cheek.
Suddenly, something happen. Red Star smiled a little bit and was about to said something when it happen. Her face became blank and her eyes went off-line suddenly. Omega started to worry a bit that maybe she was going again, but her optics came back on-line once more. The problem was that they were different, a much darker purple and colder as well. Omega and Hot Shot didn't really see that difference but Scavenger such did. He knew something was up since Resurrect and the other Decepticon just let them walked right in here without a fight.
"Get away from me, you Autobot trash!" yelled Red Star as she threw Omega away from her.
Omega flew away from her and crash into Hot Shot, sending them both to the ground. Scavenger quickly ran over and helped them up to their feet. Red Star as well stood on her feet and stood in front of them with a sneer on her face.
"What...just...happen here?" asked Hot Shot with a surprise look on his face.
"I don't know but I want to find out," said Omega looking at his friend.
Scavenger turned away from the young Autobots and looked at Red Star. He knew something was up all right. That when he spotted it. Her wings, on her wings were her Autobot's symbol, but the Decepticons.
"Look, on her wings," said Scavenger pointing to her wings.
Omega and Hot Shot looked at them. Red Star chuckle at their expression.
"Take a picture, it will last longer," she chuckle.
"We better call in the others," said Hot Shot.
"Yeah, that would be good right now," said Omega.
Resurrect laugh, "Now do you like my new Decepticon?" he asked.
"Do you like turning my friends and family into your puppets just to torment me," growled Omega.
"Oh no, my dear Magnus, I only restore the balance of power between your teams," said Resurrect, "You see, your friend, Red Star was made of the remains of our dear Starscream when we all knew was destroy by Unicron."
"You lied!" yelled Omega, "There would be no way that the elders would order the building of an Autobot out of Decepticons' scarp!"
"Oh, don't believe me why don't you call up your friend, Powerline. I believe he was the one you did your personal files on your ship," said Resurrect.
Omega growled as he turned on his radio. He was going to prove this jerk wrong, for the thousand time. "Powerline, come in Powerline!"
"Hey, what wrong boss?" asked the young Autobot over the radio.
""I need you to prove Resurrect wrong and say that the elders didn't built Red Star out of Decepticons' parts," said Omega.
There was silence at the other end of the radio, that couldn't be a good sign. Powerline came back on the radio, "I'm...sorry...sir...but she was," he said in a small voice.
Omega's spark began to break at that moment. His second in command was made from a Decepticon. Damn it, Resurrect was right. Omega would have trade in the Matrix for him to be wrong once more in his existence. He looked to Scavenger and Hot Shot. They were surprise as much as him over the news. Red Star had this evil smile on her face, while Resurrect was laughing up a storm. Starscream, Database and Overload stood off to the side watching the events unfold in front of themselves.
Omega glared and felt an anger he never felt before. Without thinking, he charged right at Resurrect and hit him square in the jaw. That made the Decepticon leader flied into some near by trees. Omega continues with his on slaughter by shooting wildly at Resurrect's body. He managed to get up from Omega's punch and was now trying to dodge the line of fire from the Autobot leader.
"You fools! Stop him!" yelled Resurrect.
The four Decepticon charge at Omega but were forced to a stop by Hot and Scavenger. They punch Database in the head at the same times sending him off line. Overload came from behind Scavenger, but the old Autobot saw him and flipped his shoulder with Hot Shot stepping on his head. This left Starscream and Red Star left. Of course, they didn't want to hurt their fembot friend.
"Any ideas?" asked Hot Shot.
Suddenly Red Star was wrapped up in a hook and rope and Starscream was knock don't but a blur of red and black.
"What is happening here?" asked Optimus.
"Good timing, Optimus," said Hot Shot giving the thumbs up.
"Let me go, you Autobot!" yelled Red Star trying to break free from Smokescreen's hook.
"Ok, what happen to her?" asked Smokescreen straining under the power that she was using to get out.
"Long story, but first things first, we better stop him before he hurt someone," said Scavenger pointing to Omega who was beating the hell out of Resurrect.
Resurrect was crawling way from the on slaughter of the Autobot leader. He never would have guessed that he was able to have some much anger inside himself nor able to turn himself into a monster bent on one thing, to destroy him.
"You are going to pay!" yelled Omega as he let on other on more of laser fire on to his opponent.
"Optimus came behind him and pulled him away from killing Resurrect. The Decepticon was relived that the weak hearted Autobot had save him. He stood up back on his feet and glared at Omega. The Autobot looked back at him with such hate and anger. Resurrect just wrapped out of the area with Starscream, Overload and Database. This left Red Star behind.
"So, what do we do with her?" asked Side-Stream pointing to a very pissed off Red Star.
"I could try to see if there is something in her systems to bring her back to her old self, but I would have to put her off-line for a while," said Powerline.
"Ok, just be fast," said Optimus.
"Here I can help," said Spitfire, "I can't see like this."
"What do you think she going to do?" asked Carlos as she walked up to Red Star.
"I don't know," said Rad.
That when Spitfire pulled out her mallet and whacked Red Star in the side of the head. The power from the strike took the fighter jet off-line. She turned back around to receive strange looks from her fellow Autobots.
"What! You wanted her to be out," said Spitfire.
"Well, that was unexpected," said Fast Track.
Powerline quickly ran over to Red Star and open her back panel on her back. There was all sorts of chips in her body, all which he was filmier with. He work quickly and carefully, one wrong move could destroy her spark or make her at D-con, forever. He couldn't live with himself if he let that happen.
"Are you done yet?" asked Omega.
"I just have to find the chip, it should be behind her social matrix," said Powerline.
Everyone held their breath. Tina prayed that Red Star was all right. She hated to see her new friends to be in so much sorrow. She closed her eyes and wish with all her might that that the fembot would be all right.
"Ah! Ha!" I got it!" shouted Powerline as he pulled out a purple chip and threw it to the ground and crush it into dust.
Red Star slowly came back on. Her optics became there normal light purple colour. Smokescreen let her go of his hook and rope. She looked up and saw that everyone was looking at her.
"So, what did I miss?" she asked with a smile.
.........................................
All right, Red Star is back to normal. Score one more of the Autobots. What are the Decepticons going to plan next? Well, I hope that they would ruin the Autobots and the kids' day-off. I guess you will just have to tune in and find out for yourself. Don't forget, live long, update and review!
.........................................
Last time, Powerline was trying out his new invention and ran into Database in cyberspace. Some how, the Decepticon switched bodies with the young Autobot and tried to get into the future Autobots' files on their crash ship.

"You failed!"
"Stand back! he going to blow!" yelled Skybyte as he and the other Decepticons took cover from their fearless leader.

"Sir, if you would let me tell you..." said Database but Resurrect interrupted him.
"No! You failed and now we don't even have those files!" yelled Resurrect.
"I do have them if you just let me speak!" yelled back Database.
Shut Resurrect up. Database coughed at raising his voice. "Sir, I had already loaded the files into my memory bank and when the young Autobots switch us back the files came with me, the disk was just a decoy."
"Smart bot," said Tailback.
"The only one we got," whisper Overload under his breath.
"So, anything that can be use again Prime?" asked Megatron feeling mad about him being out of the picture.
"Yes," said Database, as he turned to a blank metal wall and brought up one of the download files, "This one is about one of the Autobots from our time I do believe this one shall be very interesting,"
"Oooo," said Skybyte and Cyclonus as they read it and understood it, which was very rare.
"How...?" puzzle Starscream with a look on his face.
"I believe we can use this to our advantage," said Megatron with an evil grin.
.........................................
"Here, minicon, come to Fast Track!" called Fast Track.
"You know that it in a panel right?" asked Rad looking up at that big bot.
""No, but it could be active," said Fast Track.
"You nuthead!" yelled Side-Stream as he whacked his partner in the head.
"This is not going to end well," sigh Alexis as the four human quickly walked away from the two fighting Autobots.
"Any sigh of the minicon, Highwire?" asked Rad.
Nothing, yet, said the blue minicon.
How much longer, my wheels are tried, complained Sureshock.
Hush up, will you, we just started said Grindor.
Are you always like this? asked Circuit.

Then laser fire came at them. Red Star quickly covered the children while Side-Stream and Fast Track took fighting positions. They could hear the filmier laugh of Cyclonus overhead, and for such he was there with Skybyte and Starscream. Red Star felt the anger rise inside herself as she drew out her sword and prepare of battle.
"Lookie, three little Autobots and humans, it must our lucky day," laugh Cyclonus.
"Do you ever shut up!" yelled out Side-Stream.
"Believe me, we tried," sigh Starscream.
"Kids, you better hid," said Red Star as she started to hover, "This are going to get mess,"
"Right" agree Rad as he leaded the charge away from the battle.
"We better call in the others," said Side-Stream.
"No, we can handle them," said Red Star ready for a battle.
She quickly flew up and started to hack at Starscream, but he was too fast for her, but not fast enough. She clipped him a couple times, but he quickly flew off. She transformed and followed the seeker to a clearing. The two land and stood across from each other, weapon draw.
"You think you're a match for me?" sneer Starscream.
"Yeah, and maybe even more," said Red Star as she charge at her opponent.
What she didn't notice was this was a trap. She cross the trick wire and set an energon chain trapping her inside it. She felt like such a fool for falling for such an easy trap and the others didn't know where she was.
"This is just peachy," she grumbled.
"What do we have here?" said dark voice from behind her.
Red Star look to see the big loser Resurrect was standing there with Database and his right hand man, Overload. She felt the need to break free and gut them like the fish that they were, but there were not luck with that.
"What do you want?" she demand.
"Nothing, I just want to talk," said Resurrect trying to sound innocent.
"You never want to talk with out another motive," Red Star pointed out.
"True, so very true," he said walking in front of her, "Can I asks you something?"
"I'm not going anywhere, but once I get out of here you will wish you were never brought on-line," she threaten.
"Do you remember anything of important when you were brought on- line?" he asked.
Red Star puzzled over the question. Why would he ask that? It made not sense.
"There was a metal shortage, why do you ask?" she asked him.
Resurrect chuckle, "Did you ever wonder why you were created during a time when metal was hard to come by when there was a better use for it?"
"No, not really," she answer, "Why, should I?"
"Maybe," said Resurrect with a sly smiled.
"What are you driving at, Resurrect!" yelled Red Star, "Why would you spend all this trouble catching me and asked questions about my history if there wasn't something behind it!"
Resurrect glared at her, but she didn't back down she glared at him too. Resurrect cough and regain himself, "I only going to tell you the truth, a truth which your so call friends "forgot" to tell you,"
"Oh yeah, like I would ever listen to you about your version of the truth," she scoffed.
"You should considering what you are made of and the chips that are still inside of you," he said.
"So what!?" yelled Red Star getting pissed off at this line of questions.
"That maybe..."
"Say it already, you hunk of junk!" yelled Red Star ready to blow a circuit.
Resurrect smiled at the distressed Autobot. This was going to be too easy.
.........................................
"Die, Decepticon!" yelled Spitfire as she use her mallet of power against Demolisher while Radar clawed at Tailback.
"I don't think she had forgotten about the little bug thing," whisper Powerline.
"You think," said Smokescreen as he duck under one of Ballistics' punches.
"Feel the power of my mighty mallet!" yelled Spitfire as she crush Demolisher off-line and continue to whack away.
"Calm down girl, he is off-line," said Scavenger picking her up by the mallet.
"Die! All the Decepticon die!" she cried out.
"Remind me not to get on her bad side," said Hot Shot.
"Where are the kids and the others?" asked Red Alert looking around the area.
"Here we are!" called out Fast Track as he came into view with Rad, Alexis, Carlos and Tina on his shoulder with Side-Stream behind him with the minicons and a new small white and green one.
"Nice to see you are all ok, and that you found the minicon," said Optimus.
"Yeah, it see I have a new partner," said Side-Stream.
Howdy folks, the name is X-Brawn and I ready to right some of those Decepticons varmints," beep the minicon.
""Well, it nice to add you to your team, X-Brawn," said Optimus.
"Where is Red Star? She was with you guys," asked Omega.
"Calm down boss, your girlfriend will be alright, she just head after Starscream," said Fast Track.
"She when after Starscream by herself and... SHE NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" yelled Omega.
"Ok...so what did we miss?" asked Fast Track.
"Nothing much, just the Decepticon lackeys show up this time," said Hot Shot.
"Weird, why would Resurrect and Megatron not come, they always like to brag and saying how they will destroy you guys, rule the universe, bah bah," said Fast Track making hand gestures.
"They do like doing that," said Omega agreeing with his friend.
"Hey, I wouldn't complain," said Grind, "You should be glad not to handle the jerks for one time in your life."
"Grind, we have to be careful, we don't know what they are planning," said Powerline.
"I agree," said Tina, "I got this feeling that they are up to something not good."
"Tina, they always up to something bad," said Carlos, "They are the bad guys, evil beings that want to kill us all."
"Yeah I know that but it just I have this feeling that something is up and it has something to do with Red Star," said Tina.
"Did you have another dream?" asked Optimus.
After what happen to Powerline and what she said about her dream, Optimus started to think there was something about this human. She had foreseen the bad things about them and had already knew of the future Autobots.
"Yeah, she was standing on this path with a fork in the middle. One side was bright and the other looked so clod and dark. She looked so scared and confuse, like she didn't know what was going on. Then she started to head down the dark path, which at the end was this great evil force," said Tina feeling so scared of her dream.
"Ok, so what does that mean?" asked Fast Track.
"Do you think I know," said Hot Shot.
"Maybe?" smiled Fast Track.
"Idiot," moaned Side-Stream.
"Well I think we better find Red Star and asked her if she has any meaning to the dream," said Optimus, "Omega, you and Hot Shot head north with Scavenger, Smokescreen, you take Grind and Powerline and head east, the rest of you come with me,"
"Yes, sir,"
.........................................
"I...what," said Rd Star with her mouth wide open.
"You heard me," smiled Resurrect.
"No...It can't be true," said Red Star.
"Face it, Star," said Resurrect, "You have be fighting for the wrong transformers."
"No, I'm not made of..."
"...Of the left over of Starscream's body, face it femme, you are a Decepticon," said Resurrect.
Red Star stayed silent of a change. She didn't want to believe him, she couldn't believe, she wouldn't believe him. He was the scum of the world. Resurrect wasn't able to tell the truth, he was the physical form of evil. All the Decepticons were evil, she wasn't...was she. No, she wasn't going to let him get to her, she was stronger then that.
"Tell me, hadn't you never felt the need to be on your own, do things with out the other Autobots another?" asked Resurrect.
"Sometimes, but don't tell you don't feel that when you have to work with idiots as Skybyte and Cyclonus," she laugh before she got serious, "You think that I would join you if you told me, right?"
"The thought might have cross my mind so what of it?" said Resurrect.
"I would never join you in a million eons, you hear. I believe in my friends and my team and they wouldn't care if I was made from a Decepticon or not," she said with a winning smile.
Resurrect growled at her responds. This was not going good, she was suppose to side with them willingly. He knew that there was one other way and that why Database was here. He would "sort" out the problem.
"Database, take care of her," order Resurrect.
"Resurrect, if she doesn't want to join you just use her as bait," suggest Overload.
"No! She is the strongest Autobot next to Omega and Optimus, beside they wouldn't want to hurt their friend," said Resurrect.
"I don't like this," grumble Starscream.
"Well, you do share this connection with her, but they shouldn't be a consider of yours," said Resurrect, "Just kept an eye out of the Autobots. They are bound to be looking for their lost friend."
Starscream grumble and turned away for Resurrect. Before he did, he gave Red Star a look. It was one of those sorry looks, why she didn't have a clue. Maybe...he didn't want her to face the problems that he had to face with the Decepticons, like Megatron. Red Star just quickly looked away and glared at Database. The white Transformer slowly advanced on to her.
"You will never turn me against my comrades, I'm made of stronger stuff then chips and circuits, beside our friendship is stronger then the raw power from energon," she said.
"Oh, we shall see Autobot," chuckle Database as wires came from his wrist that looked like snakes ready to attack their prey, "I shall take great joy from this,"
At that moment, Red Star never knew the true meaning of fear before now.
.........................................
"Where is she?" asked Omega as he clawed his way through the woods.
"Will you calm down, you even have me up thigh," said Hot Shot.
"I sorry, it just...I don't know what I would do if I lost her, or any of my friends," said Omega with his voice in a whisper.
"We'll find her," said Scavenger pulling his hand on the young Autobot's shoulder.
"Yeah, then you can smash on your girlfriend capture's face," laugh Hot Shot.
"Alright...wait....I thought I said Red Star wasn't my girlfriend!" yelled Omega.
"Well, if you don't want her, can I have her," said Hot Shot.
"Eww! You are way too old for her and she joined the Decepticons before she would go on a date with you," laugh Omega.
Suddenly, about twenty feet east of them there was this loud female scream. Omega recognized it as Red Star. Omega ran as fast as lighting to the source of the scream. Hot Shot and Scavenger had a hard time getting up with the Autobot. Omega made it first to the clearing to see the four Decepticons standing there. Database was still attached to Red Star with his wires on her body. Omega looked at his best friend, as she was off- line do to whatever they were doing to her.
"What did you do to her, Resurrect!" yelled Omega with such anger.
"You should mind your temper, Magnus," said Resurrect with a smile.
"You're avoiding the question, Resurrect" growled Omega, "What...did you...DO TO HER!"
"Go and see for yourself, if you dare," said Resurrect as he gave the signal to Database to remove his wires.
Database nodded and pulled back his wires into his body. The energon chains was turned off and Red Star's off-line body fall to the ground. Omega ran over just as Scavenger and Hot Shot show up to the scene. Omega lift Red Star's head up and try to see if there was any physical damage done to her body. That when he saw her wings. The Autobot symbol kept flickering. It was changing into something else, it turning more purple and sharper around the edges. He could see on her face that she was trying to fight something, but what.
"What happen to her?" asked Hot Shot joining Omega by his side.
"I don't know," cried Omega then glared at Resurrect, "What is happening to her!?"
"What make you think I did anything?" asked Resurrect in enjoying his rival's pain.
Omega growled at him then turned back to Red Star. Suddenly, her optic turned back on. The others were relief to see that she was ok. She looked up and saw Omega was holding her.
"...Omega," she said weakly.
"Yeah, it me, Red Star," said Omega feeling the energon tears fall down his cheek.
Suddenly, something happen. Red Star smiled a little bit and was about to said something when it happen. Her face became blank and her eyes went off-line suddenly. Omega started to worry a bit that maybe she was going again, but her optics came back on-line once more. The problem was that they were different, a much darker purple and colder as well. Omega and Hot Shot didn't really see that difference but Scavenger such did. He knew something was up since Resurrect and the other Decepticon just let them walked right in here without a fight.
"Get away from me, you Autobot trash!" yelled Red Star as she threw Omega away from her.
Omega flew away from her and crash into Hot Shot, sending them both to the ground. Scavenger quickly ran over and helped them up to their feet. Red Star as well stood on her feet and stood in front of them with a sneer on her face.
"What...just...happen here?" asked Hot Shot with a surprise look on his face.
"I don't know but I want to find out," said Omega looking at his friend.
Scavenger turned away from the young Autobots and looked at Red Star. He knew something was up all right. That when he spotted it. Her wings, on her wings were her Autobot's symbol, but the Decepticons.
"Look, on her wings," said Scavenger pointing to her wings.
Omega and Hot Shot looked at them. Red Star chuckle at their expression.
"Take a picture, it will last longer," she chuckle.
"We better call in the others," said Hot Shot.
"Yeah, that would be good right now," said Omega.
Resurrect laugh, "Now do you like my new Decepticon?" he asked.
"Do you like turning my friends and family into your puppets just to torment me," growled Omega.
"Oh no, my dear Magnus, I only restore the balance of power between your teams," said Resurrect, "You see, your friend, Red Star was made of the remains of our dear Starscream when we all knew was destroy by Unicron."
"You lied!" yelled Omega, "There would be no way that the elders would order the building of an Autobot out of Decepticons' scarp!"
"Oh, don't believe me why don't you call up your friend, Powerline. I believe he was the one you did your personal files on your ship," said Resurrect.
Omega growled as he turned on his radio. He was going to prove this jerk wrong, for the thousand time. "Powerline, come in Powerline!"
"Hey, what wrong boss?" asked the young Autobot over the radio.
""I need you to prove Resurrect wrong and say that the elders didn't built Red Star out of Decepticons' parts," said Omega.
There was silence at the other end of the radio, that couldn't be a good sign. Powerline came back on the radio, "I'm...sorry...sir...but she was," he said in a small voice.
Omega's spark began to break at that moment. His second in command was made from a Decepticon. Damn it, Resurrect was right. Omega would have trade in the Matrix for him to be wrong once more in his existence. He looked to Scavenger and Hot Shot. They were surprise as much as him over the news. Red Star had this evil smile on her face, while Resurrect was laughing up a storm. Starscream, Database and Overload stood off to the side watching the events unfold in front of themselves.
Omega glared and felt an anger he never felt before. Without thinking, he charged right at Resurrect and hit him square in the jaw. That made the Decepticon leader flied into some near by trees. Omega continues with his on slaughter by shooting wildly at Resurrect's body. He managed to get up from Omega's punch and was now trying to dodge the line of fire from the Autobot leader.
"You fools! Stop him!" yelled Resurrect.
The four Decepticon charge at Omega but were forced to a stop by Hot and Scavenger. They punch Database in the head at the same times sending him off line. Overload came from behind Scavenger, but the old Autobot saw him and flipped his shoulder with Hot Shot stepping on his head. This left Starscream and Red Star left. Of course, they didn't want to hurt their fembot friend.
"Any ideas?" asked Hot Shot.
Suddenly Red Star was wrapped up in a hook and rope and Starscream was knock don't but a blur of red and black.
"What is happening here?" asked Optimus.
"Good timing, Optimus," said Hot Shot giving the thumbs up.
"Let me go, you Autobot!" yelled Red Star trying to break free from Smokescreen's hook.
"Ok, what happen to her?" asked Smokescreen straining under the power that she was using to get out.
"Long story, but first things first, we better stop him before he hurt someone," said Scavenger pointing to Omega who was beating the hell out of Resurrect.
Resurrect was crawling way from the on slaughter of the Autobot leader. He never would have guessed that he was able to have some much anger inside himself nor able to turn himself into a monster bent on one thing, to destroy him.
"You are going to pay!" yelled Omega as he let on other on more of laser fire on to his opponent.
"Optimus came behind him and pulled him away from killing Resurrect. The Decepticon was relived that the weak hearted Autobot had save him. He stood up back on his feet and glared at Omega. The Autobot looked back at him with such hate and anger. Resurrect just wrapped out of the area with Starscream, Overload and Database. This left Red Star behind.
"So, what do we do with her?" asked Side-Stream pointing to a very pissed off Red Star.
"I could try to see if there is something in her systems to bring her back to her old self, but I would have to put her off-line for a while," said Powerline.
"Ok, just be fast," said Optimus.
"Here I can help," said Spitfire, "I can't see like this."
"What do you think she going to do?" asked Carlos as she walked up to Red Star.
"I don't know," said Rad.
That when Spitfire pulled out her mallet and whacked Red Star in the side of the head. The power from the strike took the fighter jet off-line. She turned back around to receive strange looks from her fellow Autobots.
"What! You wanted her to be out," said Spitfire.
"Well, that was unexpected," said Fast Track.
Powerline quickly ran over to Red Star and open her back panel on her back. There was all sorts of chips in her body, all which he was filmier with. He work quickly and carefully, one wrong move could destroy her spark or make her at D-con, forever. He couldn't live with himself if he let that happen.
"Are you done yet?" asked Omega.
"I just have to find the chip, it should be behind her social matrix," said Powerline.
Everyone held their breath. Tina prayed that Red Star was all right. She hated to see her new friends to be in so much sorrow. She closed her eyes and wish with all her might that that the fembot would be all right.
"Ah! Ha!" I got it!" shouted Powerline as he pulled out a purple chip and threw it to the ground and crush it into dust.
Red Star slowly came back on. Her optics became there normal light purple colour. Smokescreen let her go of his hook and rope. She looked up and saw that everyone was looking at her.
"So, what did I miss?" she asked with a smile.
.........................................
All right, Red Star is back to normal. Score one more of the Autobots. What are the Decepticons going to plan next? Well, I hope that they would ruin the Autobots and the kids' day-off. I guess you will just have to tune in and find out for yourself. Don't forget, live long, update and review!
