Chapter 3: A silver M?

"ARGH! BATS! I HATE BATS! GET THEM OFF ME! GET THEM OFF MEEEE!" yelled Alexis.

"Ohhh, is Alexis-waxy afraid of bats?" teased Carlos. Carlos quickly hid behind Rad as Alexis shot him an icy glare.

"Ohh, is Carlos afraid of a girl?" teased Rad.

"Shut up, Rad." Sahara laughs as she saw her friends teasing each other.

"Come on, let's not fight, we have to find that Minicon panel. We don't want the others waiting."

"All right, let's find that Mini-con," as Rad took out the device to find the Mini-con panel. He on it and the Mini-con signal appear on the screen. "Okay, all we have to do is just follow the signal to the source." They walk past rocky paths, smooth paths, slippery paths, even icy paths till they reach the end of the path.

There in front of them stood a Mini-con panel, wedged between two rocks. The Mini-con panel was wet since water was dripping out of the hole's roof and on to the panel. Sahara was about to pulled the panel out, went Carlos stood in front of her.

"Let a man to this, we are how you say stronger than the females."

Sahara was really mad at the compliment but just remain silent.

Carlos spitted on both of his hands, rolled up his sleeves and started pulling the Mini-con panel with all his strength, but after a few minutes Carlos was panting on the floor, tired from pulling the Mini-con panel.

"Hah, who said males are stronger than the females?" With a flick of her hands, Sahara use her psychic powers to pulled the Minicon panel and brought it near her.

"Okay, now the Mini-con panel is with us, I'll call Optimus through the comlink."

"Optimus Prime, calling Optimus Prime. This is Rad, calling to tell you that we got the Mini-con panel. We are now returning to the hole's entrance."

" Roger that, we'll be waiting here when you four get here, over and out."

Turning towards his silent men, Optimus announced the kid's discovery.

"Men, the kids have found Mini-con panel. All our waiting is rewarded." As his menwere celebrating the moment, Optimus return staring back at the ice berg.

"Optimus, are you interested in that berg? You have been staring at it for awhile."

"Huh? Jetfire? I did not notice I was staring. In a way, yes. It has capture my interest," smiling under his faceplate and stared back at the ice berg.

While the kids were heading back towards the hole's entrance,Sahara was studying the newly found Mini-con panel. It was different than the other panels. The shape was correct; it had the initial M on it, but the only different was the color. Usually the M is green in color with greenish-blue lines around it. But this panel had a silver M with gold and black lines around it.

"Very strange indeed," with a grin on her face.

"What's strange, Sahara?" asked Alexis. "Um, it's just that this panel in different than any other Mini-con panel. I mean lookat the colors. They are totally not the same," showing the panel to Alexis.

"You are right, they are not the same. Maybe we shouldtell Red Alert to analyze it after activating it," shoving the panel back to Sahara's hands.

"Okay, if you say so."

"Hey, you girls! What are you babbling about behind there?! We have already reached the end!" It was Rad, and he was waving towards them.

"All right, all right. Hold your , Sahara?"

"Yeah I'm coming."

(At theDecepticon's controlroom)

"Hmm, it's been quite quiet for sometime. Why aren't any of the Minicon signals been alerted? I'm so bored just sitting here. Huh!" said Demolisher. Cyclonus, who appeared behind the 'Con just sighed.

"Stop your whining, Demolisher. Why don't you just go down there and find it yourself?"

Annoyed with Cyclonus's questioning him, Demolisher stood from his sit and walk towards his quarters.

"Now that he is gone,I can take my nap at peace." Sitting on the chair that was just sat by the other 'Con,Cyclonus rested his head on top of his arms and went offline.
