When we arrived at the establishment where I worked until yesterday my boss was held at gunpoint by some creepy looking robot, mostly coloured in deep purple. He had 'wings' on his back, light on the outside, dark on the inside.

"Who the heck is that?" I gave Rodimus curious look. "He looks like a mixture of Dracula and a gargoyle!"

"That's Scourge… and those are his Sweeps!" he pointed at the similar creepy robots as they came out of the energon storage, their arms packed with energon barrels.

I still sensed Octane as well… and there he was, coming out of the storage, his arms filled with energon. As he saw me he gave me a smirk.

"Didn't count on me to bring back up, did you?"

I smirked right back at him and pulled Rodimus in to sight. "Than what do you call this?"

His face twitched for a moment, but then he said with a big malicious smirk. "He's no match for the five of us! Galvatron will be very pleased when we bring him the head of Rodimus Prime!"

I looked up to Rodimus. "You can handle them, can you?"

"Hey, I may be a lot bigger and stronger with the Matrix, but he does have a point there."

I frowned. Now I had to use my Azori'jin qualities. I sure hope they will only scare off the Decepticons!

"Don't worry, we can handle them together!"

"I hope you're right, cause I can't call for backup way out here."

"They are no match for an Azori'jin of my class," I grinned. "It's almost not fare. I should send them home to do their homework about Azori'jins properly. And than, if they dare, they may come back."

"I don't think they'd listen to that. Decepticons are way to overconfident to just back off without a fight. Especially when their opponent is a 'mere flesh-creature'."

"HEY!!"

"Just quoting…" he quickly added to that.

The Decepticons put down the energon they stole and came right at us. The Sweeps transformed and flew towards us in formation, firing their weapons.

"Come on, let's find some cover!" Rodimus wanted to grab my arm and pull me out of the way. Maybe I should have told him a bit more about what I can do.

"Can you handle that Scourge guy and Octane?"

He gave me the 'are-you-kidding' look and said: "Well of course!"

"I will deal with those Sweeps!"

We didn't have any more time to discuss what we were gonna do, we just had to fight them off!

I concentrated on the two Sweeps flying on the outside and fried their circuits. Before they even knew what that tingling feeling in their circuits was, they blew to smithereens. They went down with lot's of fire and smoke.

While concentrating I quickly transformed to my huge predatory feline form and slashed my sharp claws right into the belly of the low flying Sweep in the middle. Or actually he was kinda flying single now.

He screamed out in agony and crashed behind me. Rodimus hadn't even reached Scourge and Octane and all three kinda gazes astonished at the ease I took the Sweeps out with.

With flickering eyes I turned my head towards Octane and he froze… only for a second, then transformed to his plane mode and took off.

I wasn't gonna wait for him to get out of range. Rodimus was fighting off Scourge who attacked him when he was distracted. He was still determined to get his head to Galvatron.

Quickly I took my 'shooting'-stance to fire one of my famous energy-balls after Octane. I stretched my arms, my hands opened towards my target. A bright light started to shimmer between my hands that rapidly grew to a ball of pure energy. Very destructive, very lethal for anything that crossed it's path.

With incredible force I sent if after Octane, following it with my eyes. Simultaneously Rodimus and Scourge looked up as the ball came soaring by. Scourge did have some trouble seeing it, cause Rodimus held him in some kind of grip that looked very painful.

My energyball gained on Octane within seconds. His sensors warned him it was coming so he tried to move out of it's way. My ball hit him right on the left wing, blasting it clean off leaving Octane spinning around uncontrollably in space. Had I hit him head on, he'd be obliterated.

Scourge manage to free himself from Rodimus' grip and took of on foot, afraid that if he'd fly off, he'd face the same fate as Octane. He ran towards the busy parts of the station and mingled in the crowd.

My former boss quickly had his personnel bring the energon back to the storage room and he came to us.

"Thank you Alyx, I am most grateful!" he said while bowing briefly for me. "I wouldn't know what to do without your help!"

"Than why did you fire her if you need her help to fight of thieves like the Decepticons?" Rodimus wanted to know.

"Oh, that." He grinned. "That job is just a cover-up. I knew Octane already, he comes every now and then and steels as much as he can carry. Last time he did, Alyx was working for me as a waitress. She kicked the living daylights out of him so I asked her to stay on for security. To keep up the act I sometimes have to treat her like every other waitress. But we know better, right, Alyx?"

I nodded with a smile. "I still needed the credits to pay for a flight out of here."

"You are not really leaving are you? They will come back for sure!"

"Well you managed before I arrived here, didn't you?"

"Not really, I just had to let him take his share…"

I let out a sigh. "I'm just passing through, boss. You'll need to find some powerful bots to defend your supply."

"BUT…!"

"Maybe I can help you out," Rodimus said. "A defeat like that won't stay unanswered for long. I will call for backup and when they do show up again we will chase them off forever!"

"That would be nice…" he turned over to me asked: "Has he any idea of what you're capable off?"

"Just a little."

"Please fill him in completely so he will understand why I'd rather have you around."

"Don't think I'm gonna stay here forever!" I told him. "When we deal with the Decepticons, I'm out of here."

He nodded happily and got back to his establishment.

I looked up to Rodimus who crossed his arms across his chest and gave me a stern look. "So, please, do fill me in."

I gave him a smile. "Are you sure you wanna know?"

"Yes, I do."

"Can I take you to the park for that?"

"Sure."

I hoped he would respond as well as he had before.
