We were going on a mission into space! Yes, we, cause Dad allowed me to come along too. I hadn't been off this planet ever since I had arrived.

A space station, run by another race of transformers, had some Decipticon trouble. They came to steal their fuel and energon. The defences of the station were no match for the Decepticons firepower. So when Hot Rod and Kup showed up at the station, they were asked for help right away.

They were still there to keep an eye out, but so far no Decepticons. It had been a while since they'd shown up so it was very plausible they could show up any time now.

Prime took the best of the best with him to make sure they would fight of any number of Decepticons. He did of course leave enough very capable Autobots back on Earth, just in case.

The space station was located on one of the many moons of a gas-giant (you know, like Jupiter and Saturn) in a near solar system. When we arrived all was quiet … meaning no Decepticons, cause it was busy with arriving and departing ships. Every thinkable race showed up here. To refuel, to get supplies, to sell supplies, to do business… whatever you wanted , it could be found here.

The moon even had an artificial atmosphere, so air breathing races could visit as well. Lucky for me.

"Stay close to me," Dad said as we left the shuttle to meet with Hot Rod and Kup.

I followed him as if I was glued to his right leg, but still looked around, absorbing everything I saw around us. It kinda reminded me of the planet where I had lived in the glass cage. But now I was walking around freely.

We found Hot Rod and Kup at the fuel station. That was where the Decepticons usually attacked first.

Prime ordered the Protectobots to scout the surroundings for any Decepticon activity. Hot Rod and Kup were to stay at the fuel station and Springer, RC and Blurr were ordered to keep an eye out at the energon facility.

"If you want, you can go and have a look around," Dad said to me. "We'll find you thanks to that collar Hot Rod made for you," he grinned.

(You know, he said he wanted me to have one in the last chapter. Never thought he'd actually do it too!)

"Can't a girl have any privacy?" I replied with a growl.

"Sure… we can only tell where you are, not what you are doing." "Say, if you want you can even walk around as your own self, how about that?"

My eyes lit up. "Yeah… no…" But Hot Rod knew me in that form…darn. Prime saw that in my eyes right away when I glanced at him.

"And why not?" He crossed his arms across his chest and gave me a strict look. "What did you do?"

"Hot Rod knows me in my own form…." I confessed, looking at the ground.

"WHAT?!" he uncrossed his arms and took a questioning posture. "What were you thinking?!"

"It wasn't my idea! I was minding my own business and he showed up out of nowhere! I didn't even see him coming!" I defended myself. "He doesn't know I'm the dog or even an Azori'jin!"

"You only met with him that one time?"

I shuffled my feet a bit. He can always tell right away when I'm not being completely honest. Actually he can read me like a book, no matter what's going on in my mind.

"How many times did you meet with him?" he asked me with a somewhat tilted head.

"Only twice…" I admitted.

"When was the last time?"

I looked away for a sec. "Hmmm…. Last week… you know after Megatron had caught me and Ironhide … and when he stayed out all night after RC turned him down."

He let out a grumbling sound. "Only last week… he's gonna remember that. Why did you meet with him anyway… He asked RC?"

I nodded. "She turned him down."

"Well, of course she did, he's way to immature and wild for her. I could have told him that, if he'd only asked, would have saved him the heartache."

"He wouldn't have listened to you anyway."

"Hey, we're not talking about RC and Hot Rod. We're talking about you meeting with him."

"Don't you think he'd understand where I'm coming from. He wouldn't be afraid."

"Kup is his mentor and friend. He'll find out for sure. And what about the Decepticons?"

"I could at least meet him so every now and then. He's so nice… he's great!" I gave him my puppy eyes. "You promised you'd find a way to solve this."

Prime knelt down on one knee. "Let me think about it when we get back to Earth. Now we have other things to worry about."

I transformed to my own self. "I'll go shopping and try to stay out of your way."

He nodded and I walked off. "Just be careful."

I looked back and waved before I turned around the corner and found my way to the shopping centre. There were mostly mechanical life forms on this station, but every now and then I saw organic life forms. So they had to have some shops where I could find something of my liking.

Suddenly I stopped. A creepy feeling crawled up my spine again and gave me goose bumps. It was the same feeling I got back in the city about a week ago. I turned around and expected to see nothing.

My breath got stuck in my throat and I took a few steps back. I looked up to two light grey legs with blue accents. Then the red body with the shining yellow cockpit. The light grey wings with red accents and the Decepticon logo made him look somewhat impressive.

He put his hands in his sides and tilted his head. "Well, well, what do we have here?"

He caused the creepy feeling?? I had to admit, I thought he was kinda creepy. Dangerous too and cunning.

I shrugged my shoulders and played dumb. "What do we have here?"

"Don't play stupid with me, girl. Or should I say … Lucky?"

My eyes grew large. WHAT!? How the heck did he find out?!

"I was curious why Optimus Prime always is so protective of his dog, so I've been keeping my eye on you. And guess what I found out?" He bent down a bit and looked at her with his red shiny eyes.

"So tell me already," I said in a fairly uninterested manner.

"You and the dog are one and the same!"

"You don't say… how could I possibly be the dog."

"Do you really think I'm a fool?!" he stood up straight and pointed his finger at me and with his finger his null-ray rifle. "I just saw you with Prime."

I shrugged my shoulders again. "You're definitely not a fool, but I wouldn't call you a genius either. I mean, you're still no Decepticon leader for instance."

"Don't worry, I'm getting there! You're coming with me and you will help me to overthrow Megatron!" he smirked. "You and Prime. He will do anything to get you back safely, I'm sure of it." He bent forwards again and stretched his arm out to grab me in his hand.

I tried to overpower him with my mind but I had to put my mind on other things, like RUNNING!

Behind me I heard two heavy metallic steps and then… one loud ground shaking clash. I looked over my shoulder and stopped. Starscream lay face down on the ground, not moving.

I saw some one standing behind him. A young man with bright blue eyes… like mine… and fiery long hair… somewhat like mine… Did he stop Starscream? I saw no guns on him. Did he use his mind? Like I could if I really tried very hard? Could he be… an Azori'jin??
