Terra was frozen in place. She knew Megatron was telling the truth; the Decepticon Leader was her Sire. Her knuckles were turning pale from how hard she was squeezing Light Racer's handles and the Minicon beeped worryingly.

She knew Megatron had done a lot of bad things. He'd threatened the lives of her friends multiple times, nearly killed the Autobot that welcomed her to the team, and wanted to enslave all Minicons in his quest for power. How could she not be afraid, if not shocked, in this situation?

"Stardancer," the Cybertronian said gently to her, "it's time to come home. I've missed you so much…" He knelt down and slowly reached toward her—

"TERRA, MOVE!"

Terra snapped out of her daze and Light Racer sped off to the side just as Megatron suddenly collapsed. Red Alter stood several feet behind him with his blaster pointed at his enemy. Preceptor had shown up during the chaos and kept Megatron's Minicon busy while she and Light Racer raced toward their friend.

"Get back to the base! We'll hold them off," Red Alert quickly told them and the pair wasted no time getting out of there.

She didn't know what happened next. All she knew was there was a deafening boom and she was airborne. She could've sworn she heard someone called her name before everything went black.

Megatron had just stood up to face the Autobot that dared to get in his way when a wayward blast from Leader-1 hit the ground right next to Stardancer and her Minicon. The combatants stopped to see the girl launch from the Minicon and landed unconscious a short distance away.

"STARDANCER!" He shoved the Autobot aside with enough force to create an indention into the cliff wall, but his entire attention was trained on his Sparkling. The white Minicon had already transformed and began tending to its unconscious charge. He was by her side in seconds and waited for the Minicon to step aside.

"Get the hell away from her, Megatron," he heard the voice of his arch nemesis growl and he looked up into the blaster point directly at his face.

:Megatron, the decoy failed!:

:As the humans say, "Thank you, Captain Obvious"!:

"Get out of here before I remove you by force." Optimus Prime growled.

"You cannot keep me away from my daughter, Prime," he growled back. "How long have you known?"

"Since she showed us the bracelet with Cybertronian glyphs."

"You've knowingly kept my Sparkling away from me?! Do you have a death wish, Prime?" He was beyond furious. How dare he hide his Sparkling from him!

"She isn't a Decepticon, Megatron—"

"DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE IF SHE IS A DECEPTICON OR NOT? YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO KEEP MY DAUGHTER HIDDEN FROM ME!" He stood and fired at the Autobot leader, forcing him to move back.

Leader-1 finally threw off Preceptor and grabbed both Stardancer and the Minicon. Megatron quickly scooped them up into his servo, shielding them from the fight. His Minicon quickly attached a specially made collar onto Stardancer's neck and the Decepticon leader activated the Warp Gate.

Alexis couldn't believe what she was seeing. Red Alert was knocked out. Optimus had sustained a number of injuries. And Terra…her sister of a few days, had been kidnapped.

No. This couldn't be happening. Terra couldn't be gone! This was a bad dream that she would wake up from and find that her sister is still with them.

"Alexis," she heard Rad. "Don't worry. We'll get her back, no matter what." She didn't respond, but Carlos decided throw in his two cents.

"Terra knows how to take care of herself. Heck, she'll probably drive the Decepticons crazy enough to make them send her back."

Alexis just turned and slowly walked out of the command center.

Megatron watched the white Minicon situate Stardancer onto the berth made for her human form. He had to admit, Starscream did a superb job in accommodating every human need for Stardancer.

The room was the same size as his own quarters, which was quite large since he was the leader. There were many objects for Stardancer to entertain herself with, and also a cleared space for whenever her Seeker urges begin to kick in. She would not get bored any time soon on their trip back to Cybertron.

It's good to have you back, sweetspark, he smiled before turning to exit the room.
