Alexis and Terra stayed with the Autobots the whole day. As soon as Red Alert cleared Terra, both of the girls made themselves useful around the base. Currently they were giving the Minicons a much needed wash and nearly half of them were cleaned by the time Optimus came in to check on them.

"Well, this is unexpected," he said, his smile hidden behind his face mask. "They sure look a lot better and happy." The cleaned Minicons beeped in agreement as the girls continued with their work.


Rad, Carlos, Fred and Billy made their way to the Autobot base after school with Grindor and Highwire disguised in their vehicle modes. Blur was secretly following them, but they did spot him a few times.

"Dudes, it's weird not seeing Terra or Alexis at school," commented Carlos. "They're the poster kids for perfect attendance."

"At least none of the bullies decided to have a hay day with the Rampage gone," said Fred. "I'd hate to see her come back all mad and stomping through the school like Godzilla."

"Are you kidding me? Godzilla's got nothing on her when she's mad," said Billy.

"Yeah, she makes Megatron look tame."

Rad suddenly came to a halt with Highwire beeping at him curiously. Carlos, Fred and Billy had to turn around and go back to him he stopped so fast.

"Hey, what's up?" asked Carlos.

"I just thought…" mumbled Rad.

"You thought what?" Billy verbally nudged.

"Terra shares a lot of features with Megatron."

"Huh?" all three boys said.

"Think about it. They both have purple eyes, and their scowls are almost identical." The boys actually began to piece together the similarities between the two.

"Now that you mention it, she does have a temper like Megadweeb."

"Come to think of it, purple eyes aren't natural for humans." Billy said, sounding intelligent for once. "I mean, sure, there are contacts that can change eye color, but Terra was born with purple eyes. The only other being that comes to mind with purple eyes is Megatron."

"Wait a second! You mean—" Fred started and Rad said, "It's a possibility. If Terra remembers enough, we can ask her to confirm this."


Terra walked through the base, not really paying attention to where she was going. Her mind was a jumbled mess with the murky memories she received yesterday and it was very distracting if not annoying. It didn't help that Light Racer kept following her wherever she went; the new Minicon had appointed itself to be her guardian.

"Hey, Light Racer?" she said to the Minicon. "You wanna go for a ride?" It beeped in agreement and they both left the base.


Starscream was observing the human boys heading to the Autobot base when he noticed Stardancer out riding around on a white bike. She appeared to be enjoying herself and no one else was with her.

:Starscream to Megatron,: he commed his commander. :I've located Stardancer outside the Autobot base.:

:Perfect. The decoy has just been launched. Send me the coordinates now.:


Most of the Autobots were assembling in the Warp Gate after receiving a signal on their monitor. Red Alert and Scavenger opted to remain behind incase this were a trap.

Alexis was currently in the Control Room with Sureshock getting the computers set up to monitor the mission. It wasn't long before the boys showed up.

"Hey, what's going on?" asked Rad.

"We picked up a beacon a short while ago," replied Red Alert. "Optimus and the others are going to investigate." The Warp Gate activated and the recon team was gone.

"Wait a second, what if it's a Decepticon trap?!" said Fred going into full paranoia mode.

"Yeah, and they know the location of the base," Billy chimed in.

"Uh, guys, where's Terra?" Carlos finally noticed the newest addition to the team's absence.

"She went out for a ride with Light Racer," Alexis explained while pulling out her cell phone. "I guess I'd better call her and tell her come back."


Terra and Light Racer were having fun when her phone began to ring. They stopped in an open area at the base of the mountain and Terra answered her phone.

"Hey, Alexis," she greeted her sister. "A signal….Okay, we're on our way. See you in a…" She heard something rumble toward her and she turned to see an unusual tank heading straight at her. "Uh, Alexis, are any of the Decepticons a purple and green tank?"

"Transform!"

"Gotta book it! Bye!" she hung up her phone, shoved it back into her pocket, and pedaled as fast as she could away from the giant chasing her. Light Racer beeped frantically while adding its own speed to their escape. They made a bee line back to the base when the red and white jet from the other day forced them to detour. "Well, this ain't good," she said while steering towards the forest only to be detoured again by the other Decepticon.

"Cease this pointless game," the Decepticon began before she and the Minicon sped off again. She heard him growl and chase after her when she noticed Scavenger fighting the red and white Decepticon.

"KICK HIS ASS, SCAVENGER," she shouted while speeding past them. She didn't realize it until she had past them that she and Light Racer were heading straight toward a dead end. "Let's go up higher, Racer!" That was soon scraped when laser shots were sent to either side of them continuously. She let loose a stream of swear words and heard her companion scold her in its own language. "Yeah, I know I'm gonna get the soap treatment later."

They came to the dead end and were forced to stop. They turned to face their pursuers whom had ceased firing at them. The Decepticon smirked while his Minicon jumped off his shoulder.

"You have spunk, Stardancer," he said and chuckled when she gasped. "Don't look so surprised, sweetspark. Before you were Terra, you were the Sparkling of two well-known Decepticons." She felt a tug in her Spark. It was a familiar sensation, but what did it mean?

"Who are you?" she demanded, trying not to completely lose her head. The purple and green Mech actually looked disappointed at that. Wait…purple and green!

"Do you not recognize your Opiluke, Stardancer?"

"J…Just answer the question!" She was losing her cool now. She didn't know what to do. Her father—her Opi—was a Decepticon.

"I am Megatron, Leader of the Decepticons, and your Opiluke."
