BIG thanx to everybody who reviewed!!

(we start with a lode of baloney, but I felt like writing some fun stuff)


I'm on the space station, currently in my organic metal form, but not large. Just my original size.

Minding my own business at the space-station, having a drink in the bar where I used to work, I heard a familiar voice. Not one that I'd like to hear very much, but familiar.

"Hey there, what are you doing way out here? Rodimus kick you out?" Snickering followed that last remark.

I looked up and saw it was indeed Rumble. He got on the seat next to me and ordered himself a huge glass of energon.

"He did not! I needed some time for myself." I took a sip from my drink.

"You LEFT him?!" More snickering.

Annoyed I rolled my eyes. "Why? Are you interested?"

Are you kiddin'?!" He pulled a nasty face. "He's not my type!"

I tried to give him an angry look but I couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah, look, you're smiling already!" He knocked back some mouthful's of energon. "So did you leave him or didn't you?"

I let out a sigh. Nosy bugger. "No, I did NOT. He's not the reason I need some time for myself. Where do you get idea's like that… you DO watch soap operas, don't you?"

"I don't watch soaps… a lot… at least not lately. We left Galvatron… and our television set." He confessed to me.

"We?"

He looked over his shoulder and pointed at Frenzy, Laserbeak and Ravage, who came up to the bar as well.

"Can you even leave him? I mean… alive?"

"We didn't tell him… we just left," Rumble said. "He wasn't interested in what we had to say anyway."

"Coward," I grinned. "Why did you leave? Didn't I fix Galvatron's brain problem?"

"Yeah, you did actually. Great job!" Frenzy took a seat on my other side.

"We owe you one." Rumble said. "But he has this mental problem as well, in software, you know, not hardware. His behavior is less radical. But he still gives most important assignments to the latest editions to our Decepticon ranks! He tends to ignore us!"

"He's even banned good old Blitzwing from the Decepticon ranks!" Rumble told me.

"What for?"

"Treason," Frenzy said with a gloomy tone in his voice. Then he grinned. "And you know what the fun part is? Blitzwing never betrayed the Decepticons!"

I raised my eyebrows. "So why did he get banned?"

"Galvatron believes he has betrayed the Decepticons. Well, he was helping Rodimus Prime… to stop the Quintessons from destroying us all. Because Galvatron would not listen to his warnings about the Quintessons betraying him."

"And why do you know this and not Galvatron?"

"Blitzwing told us," Frenzy explained. "But Galvatron WON'T LISTEN!"

"Alright, alright, I hear you. And what about Octane?"

"AH! OCTANE!!" they both said with an aggravated tone in their voices. "OCTANE! HE's a deserter!"

(AN: grin, they make me think of the 4 Worm Guys in Men in Black)

Rumble: "He's asked asylum with the Autobots!"

Me: "Did he get it?"

Frenzy, dragging voice: "Of course he got it!!"

Rumble: "Those Autofools can't turn down a request like that! At least Blitzwing refused that when Rodimus offered it to him!"

For a moment I dreamed off, thinking about Rodimus. I missed him, even though I'd just met him here a week ago.

"Aah… look at that, she's all love sick!" Frenzy snickered at Rumble what made him almost choke on his mouthful of energon so he was forced to heave some out of his system.

Frenzy hit him on the back. "RELAX DUDE! Such a waste of good energon!"

Rumble coughed a bit and composed himself. "Turning the offer down did make Blitzwing a bit love sick, look at him sitting over there! He flew us here."

I hadn't noticed him yet, but there he was, on the other end of the bar. He looked pretty down.

"Are you sure he isn't just feeling miserable about being kicked out of the Decepticon ranks?" I asked them.

Ravage jumped on the seat next to Rumble. "He's love sick," he claimed and put his paws on the bar. "Hey babe! Get me a bowl of energon! And make it fast!" he called out at the female transformer behind the bar.

I pushed Rumble aside and gazed at the Decepticon panther. "You can SPEAK?!"

He turned his head my way, tilted it somewhat haughty and said – as if I asked him something REAL stupid: "Well… yeah."

"He ain't just a pet, you know," Rumble informed me.

I growled at him. "I knew that!" Then I asked Ravage: "How long have you been able to speak?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "Since ever."

"Than, why don't you ever say anything?!" I couldn't understand that!

He shrugged again. "I ran out of jokes."

Frenzy tapped me on the shoulder. "Don't ask him any more about that," he whispered in my ear. "He doesn't like to be reminded of why he don't like to speak."

"I could just find it in his memory chips…" I suggested to Frenzy with a grin and a blink.

He heard that! He was supposed to have heard that, just to tease him.

"You stay out of my memory-chips! They're mine! It's none of your business!" Ravage snapped at me with a growl.

"Just teasing you!" I laughed.

Annoyed he turned his head towards the female behind the bar. "Where's my energon!"

"HEY! YOU GUYS!" Blitzwing attracted our attention and pointed towards the entrance of the bar. "I think we need to find another place to hang!"

"NOT BEFORE I GET MY ENERGON!" Ravage objected as he looked at Blitzwing.

"Fine, suit yourselves, I'm out of here!" Blitzwing got up, he even left his energon standing on the bar and took off.

We looked towards the entrance and saw a group of Transformers barging into the place. They were covered with a strange red glow and looked extremely agitated. Every robot they touched lit up as well and became completely enraged.

They started smacked each other around and anybody around them. And the furniture in the establishment wasn't spared either.

I got off of my seat. "What the…"

"Say, stay if you like, but we're outa here," Rumble said as he and the others took off.

But the infected Transformers blocked the only exit in the form of a fighting clutter of robots. Rumble looked back at me. "A little help here…" he usually never used the next word… only when he really really had to and even now he had to press it out of his vocals : "PLEASE!"

The whole situation was quit out of control, that I could see. And when I saw infected organics I got even more worried. This is not just a virus among Transformers… Quickly I paralyzed the infected Transformers to give us a chance to get out. I ran after Blitzwing, Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage and Laserbeak, who flew over our heads, screaming.

"Where are we going?" I asked while running.

"Chaar! Galvatron must know of this!" Rumble said.

"I don't have enough energy to fly us all back to Chaar!" Blitzwing noted as we reached the departure docks.

"NOW he tells us!" Frenzy growled.

We all stopped running and looked around. The docks were a chaos… everybody tried to get out, there were ships flying around trying to get to the exit. Even infected transformers flew around in here, looking for victims.

"You guys can come with me," I ran towards my black cruiser. Even Blitzwing was able to fit in there… but only just.

"Whooow! That's one fine looking ship!" Rumble had to admit.

Once within my cruiser I had to get out of there… just like everybody else. More and more infected Transformers and organics came into the docks.

"I sure hope this baby has some powerful weapons!" Blitzwing gave me a worried look.

"Doesn't need any," I said with a mysterious smile on my face as I sat down on the pilot's seat.

There were enough seats for Rumble, Frenzy and Ravage. Laserbeak landed on the back of my pilot seat. Blitzwing had to sit down on the floor, but he didn't mind. As long as we got out of here.

I concentrated my ki outside the cruiser, forming it into a bright ball of pure energy. It started to spin and spin real fast. I liked making spinning blasts, they looked even more powerful. I sent it right into the stations walls.

With a bright flash and a dazzling force it blasted a gaping hole big enough for everybody to make it out, us first.

Finally out of there, I stretched my arms and legs, swung my seat around and asked: "Okay… so where's Chaar?"

They looked at each other.

"I don't think Galvatron will be too happy if we tell her…" Frenzy whispered at the others.

"I could have just gotten it out of your brains…" I said with a sigh.

"Excellent idea," Rumble smirked. "That way we at least didn't tell you."

With a grin I found the coordinates in his mind and set the course in to the cruisers computer, using my mind. There were hardly any control panels in the cruiser, everything was based on mind control.


What will they find on Chaar??
Is there still a place in the universe where the Plague has not infected everybody??
