Chapter 6

Night Stalker woke with a groan. Her processer and systems were buzzing. If she were still human she would call this a hangover… sort of. With a cough she took a look at her surroundings. Next to her in chains was Agent Fowler, Prime was still out.

"Fowler? Prime?"

"We're both alright. Prime is in recharge mode right now. I just hope Ratchet got my communiqué before we were taken captive."

Night Stalker remained silent. She hoped that Ratchet got Fowler's message as well. If not then the three of them were in some serious trouble with no way out. However, Night Stalker had heard a story or two about M.E.C.H. These humans didn't care who they hurt in their quest for power. They were almost like the Decepticons, but at least the 'Cons seemed like daisies compared to these humans. Just then a young man entered.

"Don't bother trying to deny anything. We know that your two companions are actually Transformers."

Agent Fowler had a scowl on his face, but did not respond. Just then Prime came out of his recharge mode and sent a silent message to Night Stalker.

Do nothing until I give the word. For now, let Agent Fowler do all the talking.

Night Stalker obeyed and kept one of her optics on the human. Agent Fowler gained his composure.

"You are holding a U.S. government official captive. This is a federal offense and you will be punished."

The young man just laughed. "I highly doubt that. If you remember, M.E.C.H. has friends in high places… VERY high places. Now why don't you cooperate with us and this will all be over quickly."

"And what is it that you want me to do?"

"Tell your Transformer friends to transform. I would like to see them in robot mode."

Agent Fowler shrugged. "Sorry. I don't control them."

Optimus?

Not yet Night Stalker.

"I ask you again. If you don't get them to change then things will go very badly for you."

Agent Fowler shrugged, "Fine, but they don't listen to me. Why don't you two transform?"

Optimus?!

Not yet!

Night Stalker was getting frustrated. Agent Fowler was in danger with each passing moment that she and Optimus did not transform. Suddenly the young man pulled out a taser like instrument and set the charge for a high frequency. Agent Fowler then doubled over in pain.

That's it! These yahoos are going down!

Night Stalker no! This is exactly what they want. M.E.C.H. doesn't follow through with what they "agree" to. If you transform all you're doing is playing right into their hands. Remain in vehicle mode.

Night Stalker was getting sorely frustrated. She wanted to help the human that was under their protection, but she also wanted to follow Optimus' orders. The young Transformer mentally clenched her fists. There was nothing she could do. If she transformed then M.E.C.H. would get what they wanted. If they didn't transform, Agent Fowler continued to be severely injured. Just then a jet sounded overhead. M.E.C.H. took no notice. Either the jet was part of the humans' team or they weren't paying attention.

Night Stalker set her scanners to scan anything above her. It was Starscream! She sent the Decepticon a message.

Starscream! We're directly below you!

The jet noise faded away, but a short time later more jet noises sounded and the building around Night Stalker exploded in huge fiery balls of wood and blaster fire. At the head of the pack, Starscream led the charge. Calvary had arrived! Had Starscream really listened to her? Had he been searching for her and Optimus? Or had he just been passing by? It didn't matter.

Now Night Stalker!

"Finally!"

The femme transformed from her Tron Audi car mode and into her bot mode. She began firing at the humans. The man that had been tasering Agent Fowler back away in shock. With a decisive move, Night Stalker picked up Fowler and looked at him. He looked like he was going to hurl.

"Fowler?"

"Remind me never to save you again."

"No "I can has cheeseburgers?"?"

Agent Fowler blushed, "I can't believe they still won't let that rest. No I'm not so far gone that I'm a little cuckoo. Let's get out of here!"

She transformed and Fowler found himself in the passenger seat. The Tron Audi r8 shot off like a rocket. She didn't bother to see if anyone was following. All she wanted to do was make sure that her human passenger was safe and sound. A ground bridge appeared before her. The femme drove towards it.

"What if it's the Decepticons' bridge?!"

"Would you rather be here with M.E.C.H. or onboard the Nemesis?"

"Touché."

Putting more speed in, the femme shot forward faster. Soon she was passing through the ground bridge portal. In her rearview mirror she saw Optimus right behind her. The 'Cons following him. Moments later, Night Stalker found herself in the Autobot base. She heard Agent Fowler let out a sigh of relief. Obviously he REALLY didn't want to be back onboard the Nemesis. Fine by her. She didn't really want to be there either. The human opened the door and staggered out. Transforming Night Stalker became a bot once more. Once all the Transformers were through, the ground bridge closed.

Starscream turned to Night Stalker. "You shocked the slag out of me. I was out looking for another energon mine when you sent that message. I thought, An Autobot revealing themselves? However, when I spoke to Megatron he informed me of the situation and I returned with my Seekers."

So Starscream hadn't been looking for her. It all worked out in the end though. If Starscream hadn't flown overhead at that exact moment then Night Stalker, Optimus, and Agent Fowler would still be in the clutches of M.E.C.H.

"Now if you'll excuse me. I have to be blindfolded and escorted off the Autobot base before we can return back to the Nemesis."

"No." Optimus said.

Everyone stared at him. He continued.

"Night Stalker sent that message to Starscream. She took a chance and it worked out. Starscream is to be commended for returning to help rescue us. I think it's high time that the Decepticons come and go as they please. It's the least we can do."

Starscream actually looked uncomfortable. "About that… Megatron gets final say."

"Wow. Starscream actually wanting to listen to Megatron. Here I thought you only wanted power."

Night Stalker smirked at the First Lieutenant who snarled in response.

"Why do you always have to be so slagging logical? Stop being Shockwave!"

Laughter rippled throughout the base. Shockwave was always known for what Night Stalker had just said. Just then an engine purr filled Night Stalker's audio sensors.

"If you'll excuse me. I have some place I have to be."

The femme transformed into her car mode and shot off. She careened around the corner and stopped in front of the noise. It steadily grew louder and louder. The femme transformed once more and stood as a sleek red sports car turned the corner. Squealing tires could be heard before the car transformed and raced forward. Lips crushed Night Stalker's own.

"Don't you ever do that to me again. I was so worried about you!"

"I love you too, Knock Out." The femme laid her head on Knock Out's chest plating and let out a content sigh.

"Hey what's going on with Grand Slam?"

"Megatron got a hold of him and is ringing him a new tailpipe. Megatron was less than pleased at Grand Slam's actions. Watching him to see if you were right or wrong was not really offensive. Grand Slam just has issues."

"And Pyro?"

"Moping. He was really close to his brother. Nightwing and Midnight Chaser are staying with Rapidfire and Wheeljack. Star Cross and Pyro are with Ironhide and First Aid."

"I-I don't want to see them… not right now." She leaned up and placed a kiss on Knock Out's lips.

"You and me… Soundwave too?" Night Stalker looked at Knock Out with pleading eyes.

"I like how you think. Soundwave is in his berth right now."

The bond pair made their way to the communication officer's room and entered. Looking up, Soundwave scrambled to his feet. A look for relief was scrawled all over his face. Knock Out pushed Night Stalker forward. Seductively, the femme sauntered up to Soundwave before their arms wrapped around each other. Their lips and tongues found each other and did a dance of romantic origins. Night Stalker felt Soundwave's extension cable connect to her port. A moan escaped the femme.

From behind, Knock Out ran his hands over Night Stalker's chasse. Her systems went bonkers. Tilting her head back she felt the two males' lips roam across her entire chasse in an effort to please her. Night Stalker obviously spoke aloud because the next thing she saw Knock Out and Soundwave were locking lips. Slowly, the three of them settled themselves on Soundwave's berth and proceeded to pleasure each other to no end.

Once Soundwave and Night Stalker were finished interfacing, it came to Knock Out and Soundwave Interfacing. As a femme, this male on male action was a definite turn on for her. Night Stalker let out a moan of pleasure as she let her lips travel down to the ports of her bondmate and lover. They bucked as her tongued teased them mercilessly.

"You two taste so good."

With a wicked grin, Soundwave nodded to Knock Out who then locked Night Stalker's hands above her head. Soundwave then proceeded to tease her port, causing Night Stalker to buck in ecstasy. Knock Out let his lips capture his mate's while Soundwave pleased the lower half of her body. Night Stalker felt Soundwave wrap his arms around her legs and lock her legs open. She was not getting out of this one any time soon. Nor did she want to. Night Stalker bucked with each tease that Soundwave gave her. She willingly wrapped her legs over his chasse in order to have him better access the deeper parts of her. At the same time, Knock Out's tongue shoved hard inside her mouth. Night Stalker's tongue danced in response.

This three way was even more intense than before. The two males made sure that they had their wicked fun with the femme of their affections. Night Stalker felt her energy draining, however, she felt Knock Out's draining as well. Four cycles later, Night Stalker let her juices out. Soundwave licked it all up. With a content sigh, the three Transformers settled down for yet another recharge.
