Chapter 2: An ice berg?

"Whoa, it's quitehot in here,maybe someone is camping in here." "That's impossible, Carlos. If someone is camping in here there should be a life reading on the communicator, but they aren't any, am I right, Optimus?.......Optimus?"

Everybody was hoping that Alexis's theory was correct, but since the Autobot leader didn't answer, they started to worry.

"Argh, what are we going to do, if more humans sees us? I mean, if we transform the humans will think it must be weird to see types of vehicles in a cave, driverless. I mean what if they-"

"Hush, Sideswipe. There is nothing to fear." Optimus suddenly said. "What do you mean by that, Optimus?" asked Scavenger.

"The life reading on the communicator, shows that it's to large to be human or animal."

After hearing that statement, everybody was in shock. Red Alert was the first one to recover from his shock. "So you're saying, it might be a transformer?"

"It's possible, since the reading is the same as ours."

"What if it's the Decepticons? What if they already got the Mini-con and are now heading this way………"

Every Autobot and human was looking at Sahara, worry written all over their faces.Even Starscream was worried. The last time they went out to find a mini-con panel, they left Sahara behind to take care of the base.

Anditwas a memorythey will never forget.

Because when they return, they found the base interrible shape and Sahara, who was badly injured and traumatizes. The Con responsible was Thrust. He teleported himself inside the base to get the other Mini-cons, but was attacked by Sahara's psychic powers. She did everything she could to fight him, but Thrust was to strong for her.

He manages to escape, fortunely with no Mini-cons with him. The Mini-cons did everything they could to nursed Sahara's wounds but no luck, since they were not experienced with this kind of situation. Luckily, the Autobots and the kids arrived just in time. Ever since that accident, Optimus Prime vowed never to repeat that mistake again.

Back to the cave, everyone was staring at Sahara who was trembling. Alexis put a comforting arm around her shoulder.

"Don't worry, Sahara. There is nothing to be afraid of. Everyone is here, see?"

Pointing to the others. Sahara looks up and saw everyone smiling. "You're right. I' m sorry if I made you guys worry about me."

"Don't bother to apologize; we are used to worry about you all the time." Starscream said surprising everyone.

Sahara stared up at Starscream, shocked. After a few moments of staring, she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Hot Shot,Blurr, Sideswipe, Rad and Carlos started giggling, while Optimus,Scavenger, Red Alert, Jet Fire, Hoist and Alexis just smiled.

"Thank you, Starscream." "Y-you're welcome, S-sahara."

Suddenly the Mini-con signal went like crazy. They were getting closer to the Mini-con and so they started running. Once they reach the dead end, they stop dead in their tracks. There in front of them, stood a huge, ice berg, covering most of the parts of the end of the cave.

The signal of the Mini-con did not come from the ice berg, but from a small hole on the right side of the cave. The hole was to small for any of the Autobots to enter but small enough for the kids.

"Kids, I have a mission for y'all. I want the four of you to enter that hole, get the Mini-con panel, and out as fast as you kids can go."

"But Optimus, why do you want us to get out as soon as we get the Mini-con panel?" Rad asked as Starscream lifted them towards the hole.

"To answer your question Rad, the cave is quite old and if you are not careful it might collapse."

"Oh, good point."

After saying good luck to the kids, they were on their way.All the Autobots had to do was wait. And that was something,Hot Shot didn't like.

"Can't we do something? I feel useless just standing here. I want to do something use-" THUSH!

Before Hot Shot could finish his sentence; Scavenger had hit his head with his fist.

"What was that for?!" Scavenger was pointing towards their leader.

Hot Shot looked up and remained silent.

Optimus had his hand on his chin and was staring at the ice berg with a curios look in hiseyes.

And when he has that kind of look in his eyes, it means you better shut up before he gets angry.And trust me you don't want an angry Optimus Prime.
