Hot Shot's girl: This is made after the episode Friend or Foe, but of course I changed it a bit to fit into my story 'cause it's fanfiction and anyone can do that so yea . . . enjoy:)

When Alexis left her body changed to its normal size again. This was very odd. She had not idea how this was possible, but then remembered her pendant burning and then she found herself as large as a transformer. She then realized that it was the pendant that had turned her large.

She wondered if she could control this happening, but for now she'd have to wait for work called her. She went to ocean city to tell Dr. Jones about the energon results, but Dr. Jones had other questions for her.

"Alexis what happened to you?!!" he said running to her.

Her arm was wrapped up and splinted and she had a limp to her walk like her leg was injured. Her side of her face was a bit bruised and she had a split lip as if someone had laid one right on her. Also Dr. Jones grabbed her well arm it pushed against her broken rib cage and so she jolted away from him. Dr. Jomes was ever concered about her now.

"Who did this to you?" he asked.

"I . . ." started Alexis looking around for a way out of this conversation.

She looked down and pushed him away as she left saying-

"I fell down the stairs. I have to get to work doctor."

"Strange," whispered Dr. Jones watching her leave.

Dr. Jones wasn't an idiot. He knew that something like those injuries weren't caused by falling down the stairs or self inflicted . . . she was hit by someone . . . or something. All had noticed her injuries and the autobots were ever concerned about her as well. Optimus came to Dr. Jones to try and find some answers, but ran into a dead end.

"I wish I knew Optimus," said Dr. Jones to figure out what happened to her.

"Someone caused those injuries," said Optimus. "And whoever it was will pay for what they have done to her."

"Yes, but look at her injuries they came from someone who has fought for a very long time, you know experianced . . . and they seem harder than any human can inflict upon a human."

Are you saying a transformer did this to her?!" asked Optimus with surprise. "She would be killed if one did so, but the injuries are small. If one did attack her she would have to be their size to avoid death."

They then both relfected on this for a moment. This was a mystery that only Alexis could solve, by telling, but all knew she wouldn't tell anyone about what happened to her . . . except, perhaps, her minicon. Both went to see her minicon Grindor. They asked him if Alexis had told him about the matter, but he told them she hadn't, but when he found out who did it to her that he would come and tell them.

"Thank-you friend," smiled Optimus. "For we know Alexis would never tell us . . . but for what reason I don't know."

"Perhaps she is trying to protect someone?" suggested Dr. Jones.

"Yes, but who?" wondered Optimus.

None could figure out why Alexis was the way she was, but hoped they soon would. Later, when Alexis was done with work, she went back home, but Starscream was still not there. She wondered where he could be and so she waited for him. She waited through the night for him to come back to her.

"Do you so swear to serve me until your spark is estinguished?"

"I do so swear, sir," bowed Starscream Starscream as he knelt before Megatron.

Megatron then smiled and hit him hard saying on the shoulder saying-

"Ha, it's good to have you back soldier."

"Thank-you sir," said Starscream bowing again.

"You don't know how useless my men are now-a-days. They can't even scratch an autobot . . . gotten a little too soft over the past ten years, but you are one of my best soldiers and I know you won't let me down," smiled Megatron looking at his revived lost son.

"You can count on me sir," said Starscream clanking his sword on his chest.

"Ha, ha, that's what I like to hear," smiled Megatron taking Starscream by his side. "But might I warn you, if you try to kill me again I will destroy you first!"

"I was under Alpha Q's control but now I am free and under yours, my liege," said Starscream inclining his head.

Megatron's grin then vanished and he lowered his voice and said-

"Do you remember much about what happened before you were killed by the retched Unicron?"

"No sir," said Starscream. "Only that I served under you and hated the autobots."

"Good," said Megatron patting him on the back. " . . . good."

He did not want Starscream to ever remember when he betrayed him, or served under Optimus Prime once. He wanted him never to remember those days . . . never.

"Do you remember the time when you got the rock from mars and gave it to us Starscream?" asked Alexis as she lay in Starscream's arms and his fingers fiddled with her pendant.

"I remember that I got it mostly for you," he smiled. "It wasn't much to me . . ."

"But it was alot to us," she smiled as she finished his sentance.

"Yes . . . it was," he smiled looking into her glimering teal eyes.

They then shared a long kiss as the night went by. When they had stopped Starscream looked at her pendant and then at his love and asked-

"Did you ever figure out how you were able to turn as large as me?"

"I think," she started as she looked at her pendant. "It was this pendant. I remember it burning before I got bigger and I felt it again before you came back to me, and now I'm as large as a transformer."

"You . . . haven't told anyone have you?" asked Starscream.

She then looked up at him and smiled as she hugged his chest tightly.

"No, I haven't. I would never tell anyone about you. You're my little secret."

She then leaned up to him and kissed him gently on his lips. Starscream then smiled and said-

"And you are mine."

They held each other for a long time till Alexis let go and walked to her window where she could see the sun rising.

"And besides," she started. "Just think of what they'd do to you. You should have seen how furious they were when they saw my injuries."

"Hm, I would be too if someone did what I did to you," he chuckled as he came up behind her and began kissing her neck.

"Starscream," she said ever keeping her gaze on the rising sun.

"Yes, what is it Alexis?" he asked turning her to look at him face-to-face.

"I'm scared they'll find out," she said, almost, with tears in her eyes.

"Who?" asked Starscream.

"Everyone," she said. "I'm afraid what they'd do to you for loving . . . an alien."

"Well then they'll just never have to find out," he said holding her close to his body and kissing her again.

Alexis then pulled away and said-

"Well what if they do?! This wouldn't be no laughing matter!"

Starscream then straightened and gazed into Alexis' watering eyes. He put his finger on her chin to lift her head to his.

"Alexis I will never let that happen . . . I promise."

They then hugged each other as the sun rays set the house a rose pink.

The months past as thry journey to find more energon raged onward. All found out about the revival of Starscream, but weren't too happy that he joined back with the decepticons. Both sides fought fierce to gain more energon. Both sides did gain much energon.

Megatron, as he said, tried to kill Hot Shot many a time, but Optimus was always there to help defend Hot Shot. He didn't know if it was true, but to Megatron it was true. Optimus just hoped that wrod didn't get around about this. One day word did get around about the spark of Unicron being nearer then they knew and so had everyone on high alert.

Then . . . he came. None expected on ever seeing him again. It was Rodimus. He had returned from a long journey through space.

He was Hot Shot's hero, other then Optimus. He admired him alot, but after one particular day would his spark be turned from Rodimus forever?

"Hot Shot, is that you?" came a voice.

Hot Shot turned and saw that Rodimus was on the monitors and he wanted to speak to him. Hot Shot immediately straightened and saluted his superior.

"Yes sir, it's me Hot Shot."

"Good," said Rodimus. "I have been watching you Hot Shot for a very long time and I want to meet you . . . alone."

"Where?' asked Hot Shot his spark leapng within him . . . he would finally get to meet his all-time hero.

"Mars," said Rodimus. "And come alone. I only want to meet you."

He then shut down their link and was seen no more. Hot Shot knew something wasn't right, but the thought of meeting the famous Rodimus overwhelmed him so he just went. Ironhide and Kicker saw him leave and wondered where he was going.

"Let's follow him," said Kicker.

"What?!" shouted Ironhide. "And interfere in Hot Shot's business? NO!"

"Ironhide he could be in trouble!" said Kicker trying to get him to go.

"NO!" said Ironhide.

"Fine," said Kicker getting off him. "I'll just go myself."

Then after a moment Ironhide gave in to Kicker's wish.

"Oh, wait for me!"

Hot Shot had gone to mars and there was no one there, but hom and dust. He wondered if it was just some kind of stupid joke, but then he appeared before him.

"Rodimus," smiled Hot Shot as he looked at the great transformer with his own optics.

"I'm glad . . . you came Hot Shot," said Rodimus his optics unusually dark.

There was something not right about the was he acted and Hot Shot wondered why.

"What's wrong Rodimus?" asked Hot Shot seeing his down, dark mood.

Then two other transformers joined Rodimus' side. There was a large one named Landmine and a smaller one named Prowl.

"Is he the one?" asked Prowl to Rodimus.

"Yes, he is . . . what a shame," sighed Rodimus.

Hot Shot now knew something was up . . . but what?

"What are you talking about?" asked Hot Shot as he slowly began to back up.

They just came closer to him as Rodimus looked at him and said-

"You know they are looking for you."

Hot Shot had enough so, even though he didn't want to, he took his blaster and pointed it at them. Landmine and Prowl were alarmed as he did this so they too raised their blasters at him.

"Who are?!" asked Hot Shot his anger swelling up inside him that they would do something like this to him.

"Unicron's horsemen," said Rodimus taking a step forward closer to him.

"Why?" asked Hot Shot, his hand began to shake at the rememberance of what they did to him. "Haven't they done enough to me?!"

"I am sorry for what happened to you Hot Shot," started Rodimus. "But there is nothing you can do now. They will be coming for you soon and I will not let them have you."

Rodimus then raised his blaster to Hot Shot's spark and said-

"I must never let Unicron live again."

"W-what?!" stuttered Hot Shot not understanding.

As Kicker and Ironhide arrived they arrived just in time to see Hot Shot get shot by Rodimus dead in the spark.

"NOOOOO!" they cried as they saw this.

Then as Hot Shot fell to the ground they stood over him to make sure he was dead. Then Rodimus shot him again. This greatly kindled Kicker's rage now.

"ATTACK THEM! ATTACK THEM NOW!!!" he shouted at Ironhide.

"But he's my surperior!" said Ironhide.

"I DON'T CARE!!" shouted Kicker. "HE SHOT HOT SHOT, NOW ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ironhide then shot at them. Rodimus saw them and so signaled a retreat, but Kicker and Ironhide still pursued them.

"GET BACK HERE!!!" shouted Kicker as he took his sword and attacked them.

This did not bother the others too much, but it did make them speed off, but Ironhide kept close behind them and so Rodimus looked to Prowl and said-

"Prowl, get them away from us."

"You got it," said Prowl as he lessoned his sped to come to Ironhide.

They were then attacked by Prowl and sent swirling away from the others. Prowl then sped off and vanished in the distance with the others.

"NO!" shouted Kicker. "WE LOST THEM!!!"

"I shouldn't have done that," said Ironhide feeling guilty. "He was my superior."

They then remembered Hot Shot and so came to him. He was unconscious and he had recieved two straight shots to his spark as if Rodimus was set on making sure Hot Shot died when they attacked him.

"Oh man, it looks bad. I'm callin' Optimus," said Ironhide as he turned to his comlink.

After hearing this Optimus came immediately and then brought Hot Shot back to ocean city. Optimus thought it was Megatron who did this to him, but when Kicker and Ironhide told him who it truly was Optimus was more than just shocked.

"RODIMUS?!!" gasped Optimus in surprised that an autobot such as he would attack another autobot, especially one that looked up to him. "Why would he do this? . . . this is ill news indeed."

"I can't wait to make him pay for what he did to Hot Shot," kicked Kicker in anger.

Optimus then looked at Hot Shot, who was recovering quite well, and thought that Rodimus must have found out, but how? and if he tried this again, no matter what, Optimus would rip his very spark out of his chest. No one would ever hurt his son and get away with it no one, and this time . . . Optimus meant it.
