DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TRANSFORMERS. I OWN ONLY WHEELS, NIGHTGALE AND DOVE.
"Sideswipe, wake up,"
The young blue and gray Autobot came back to the world of the living at the sound of his name. His optics flicking on and off, he came to face to face with Red Alert. The medic sigh and breath of relief to know that he was ok.
"Red Alert...where are we?" asked Sideswipe as he tried to sit up.
"I don't know," answered Red.
They both looked around at the area were they had landed on. It looked so dead compared to Earth. The ground was brown and the skies was gray and murky. Dead trees were placed around the area and looked like the gentlest breeze could knock them down. Other then themselves, there was no other signs of life.
"Man, what a ...Wheels" Sideswipe suddenly shouted, "Where is Wheels!"
"I am afraid that I hadn't been able to find her, nor make contact with anyone," said the medic gravely.
"Well, this is just great," mumble Sideswipe placing his head in his hands
Autobot's Spaceship...
Ok this wasn't looking good. Scavenger, Jetfire and Hoist were off to the side watching as the scene unfold in front of them. Optimus was ticked. No body had ever seen the Autobot leader like this before, not even Scavenger. Now, here he was standing in front of Hot Shot, Sideways, Blurr and Wheeljack. He hadn't said a word yet. They just could tell by the gleam in his optics.
"This isn't going to be pretty," mumble Jetfire.
"You think," hissed back Scavenger.
"Sh," whisper Hoist.
"CAN ONE OF YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU WERE ALL THINKING!" shouted Optimus, louder then any bot thought his voice box could go.
"Well, Sideways and..."
"Hot Shot, I don't want to hear it! Because of your petty feud, we have lost three, THREE members of our team. Two which I might add have no real combat experience if they run into Megatron!" roared Optimus.
Everyone cringed at his voice. Optimus taking some deep breath had finally calm down. It seem yelling had help him a bit.
"But, Optimus we didn't mean to," said Wheeljack.
"I really don't right now care about you boys met to do, the fact is that we now have to find those three," said Optimus, "You four are all on probation, anymore stuff like you pulled today and I have you all court marshal! Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Hoist, how are the repairs going?" he asked turning to the gray Autobot.
"Fine, sir," answer Hoist, "It should last until we arrive."
"Jetfire, how long will it take?"
"Not long, about 1/2 a breem,"
Suddenly, the alarm started to go off. Hoist ran over to the concel and started to type away. Soon a screen appeared in front of the everyone. It show two jets coming at them, one black and purple and the other pink and blue. Each having the Autobot insignia
"Oh no," whisper Hot Shot.
"I take it you know them?" said Jetfire.
"You have no idea," said Hoist shaking his head, "Nooo idea."
"Hey, Op!" shouted a voice of the com-link, "Permission to come aboard
Optimus sigh then pushed the com-link to respond, "Yes, Dove you can come aboard."
Back on Planet of the Dead...
The two trapped Autobots have spend what seems like forever trying to find any sign of the others. Sideswipe could feel the sun rays beating down on his body. Red Alert tried to repair some of his wounds, but he didn't have the proper equipment. Now, they were both walking around who knows where.
"Any sight of anything...normal?" asked Sideswipe.
"Nothing," answered Red Alert.
Sideswipe sigh, "We are so doom."
"Don't think like that," said Red, "There has been worst situation that this one."
"Name one,"
"Having all your closest friends and your bond mate being destroy by Megatorn, only to have him plant Decepticon programming inside yourself in hopes you will turn into one of his brainless loyal drone comes to mind," said Red Alert with a taste of venom in his voice.
Sideswipe just stood there with his mouth open in shock. Yup, that was way worst then what they were in now. Now did Red Alert come up with something like that. Just as he was about to asked, the two of them went flying into the sky. Sideswipe came crashing down to the ground. His face grinding against the sandy ground. Then came the same chuckle he always heard in this kind of situations.
"Well, well," came Megatron's voice, "Look who we have here."
Red Alert struggle to get back on to his feet. This really wasn't the right time for this. All the wounds he had take so very careful to seal up were now all again open. Sideswipe soon join the medic at his side to face down Megatron, Demolisher and Starscream. This was not a good time, then again Cons live for these kind of moments.
"Get lost, Mega-Dork," sneered Sideswipe, "We don't have time for this."
The Decepticon leader just laugh at him. Then Sideswipe was blasted back into the ground again. This time, his very armor was beginning to rip off and one of his optics was now cracked. There was no way they could both stand off again the Decepticon in the condition they were both in. They really never stood a chance.
"Ha ha ha ha! Now it time for you to..." said Megatron was blasted in the chest to the ground.
The five Transformers turned to see where the blast had came from. The and sand became to blown around the area. This block the sight form seeing the attacker. Just the, both Starscream and Demolisher came crashing down, just like Megatron. Roaring the Decepticon leader shot back on to his feet. That one attack had really done a number on him.
"Who are you?" he demand
Then came this low chuckle. It sounded so evil and cold. As the being got closer, there was something very filmier about him. Then, it came into view. The being that had attack them looked just like Optimus Prime. The only problem was that this one was all black and had these blood red optics.
"Prime, you are responsible for this?" shouted Megatron, thinking it was the real deal.
"I don't think that Prime, sir," moaned Demolisher.
"Destroy," as the Look-a-like came close holding out his weapon and firing another shot. It landed right in Megatron's chest and send him crashing right into Demolisher.
This was it. After only a few minutes, they were all beaten. What ever this being was, he was no push over. Nothing they shot at him seems to faze him. It was like hitting a brick wall with a feather. Sideswipe laid, barely on-line as a click came above his head.
"This is it," he thought to himself, "Good-bye world, be nice to know you"
Then came this bright light from the sky.They all looked up. It was the minicons, their minicon partners. How in did they end up here? Suddenly, they were glowing a eerie green light, and another burst light appear. The light nearly blinded Sideswipe and Red Alert. They couldn't what was going on. But they could feel it. Their bodies had this warming feeling, like something was happen. Their energy was returning to them as well.
"Holy Primes!" explained Sideswipe as he open his optics and looked around.
They all had been healed and gained new armor. Even Megatron had new armor, to Sidewipe's dismay. Himself had now red armor and not his old blue one. It somehow made he look a bit like Sunstreaker...his twin. The thought brought fury and anger, but there would be time for that later.
"Destroy," explain the black Prime. This time, he looked much weaker. Maybe the minicons had something to do with it, who knew?
"Never, I now Galvatron shall destroy you!" said the new reformatted Decepticon.
He never had the chance. At that moment, a burst of fire hailed from the sky and struck the Evil Prime. He started to scream. Taking this as the right time, both Autobots and Decepticon started to fire upon him. With in seconds, he blew up and became nothing but dust.
"Ha ha ha ha ha," laugh Galvatron, "Now return to the ship. Until next time, Autobot."
Red Alert and Sideswipe gave the Decepticon a strange look as he turned tail and left. They were happy that he was leaving, it was just strange he didn't blast them. That thought didn't last for long. For something came from the sky and tackle Red to the ground.
"Reddy!"
"GAHN!"
Sideswipe looked at the ground were Red Alert now laid. There hugging him like no tomorrow was this pink and blue femme. He looked no older then himself and had wings coming on her back, like Starscream. From the way she was hugging Red, she knew him. That or this was some new way to kill a bot.
"Dove! Get off him!"
Now, there was another one. She looked just like the femme that was cutting off Red Alert's air supply. This one was black and purple, but other then that they were the same. The pink one frowned as she finally let go of Red Alert.
"You are no fun, Gale"
"Ah, Red Alert, do who know these two?' asked Sideswipe, giving the now breathing medic a hand up.
"Yes, there a couple friends of my," he answer, "What are you two doing here anyway?"
"We came to get the shuttle as it enter Cybertron Airspace," answer NightGale, the purple femme, "Commander Optimus told us of the current situation"
"Yeah, total downer," said Dove, the pink femme, "So we zoomed down to save you. By the way, nice paint job. Orange is do your color."
"Thanks," said Red Alert moaning.
"Have you two found another femme around here?" asked Sideswipe, hoping that they found Wheels now.
On the Other Side of the Planet of the Dead...
There lying off line on the ground was a lone figure. On a closer look showed that it was Wheels. The fall had done much worst damage to her then to Red Alert and Sideswipe. Her energon was pouring out very slowly. If she didn't get medical attention soon, she would die...again. Then came a dark figure into the area. It walked over and stood over Wheels' unconscious form. A light chuckle escape from its vocal box. Then, its scoop her up in its arms and disappear from sight.

Chiomon: Wow, mad Optimus
Yuni: I never knew his voice could go that high
Chiomon: You learn something new every day
Yuni: I still hate you
Chiomon: Yeah, yeah. Now back to the review. I have reason for all things that happen in this chapter. One, why it was Sideswipe and not Hot Shot to get the new look. Three reasons, 1. I didn't like red on Hot Shot, kept him yellow, 2. Now, Sideswipe looks just like his G1 counterpart…I hope and 3. I got Optimus to get mad, hee hee.
Yuni: It not good for you to be evil. That my job
Chiomon: Whatever. That's to all the review! I LOVE YOU! And if you want to read about the sisters that show up here, read The Red Chronicles. Until, next time, READ, WRITE AND REVIEW.
