"Transmission" She opened her eyes as the wind blew against her, making her rock unsteadily. She blinked, rubbing her eyes. It was dark wherever she was, and she was constantly being moved from the strong wind.
"Where am I?" she asked to herself, trying to see where she was. It wasn't this windy when she had walked into the store, and the last thing she remembered was the look on Long Haul's hologram. She jerked, looking in the shadows for the missing hologram. She was almost positive that he had caught her. There was the sound of blaring horns from below her, and she shivered. The wind cut through her frail shirt like a knife through butter. She moved cautiously towards the sound, aware that a small amount of light was coming from there.
"-na?" came a garbled voice, and she jumped back, looking feverishly for the person. She sighed and relaxed as she realized it was only Starscream. She shivered as she rocked slowly on her heels, trying to conserve warmth.
"Star. I've never been more relieved to hear your voice." She responded, and she looked at the light again as she gathered up her small amount of courage to walk towards it again. The sounds of a rescue helicopter reached her, and she looked around again. She wanted proof that this was a human vehicle.
"-na. Where-re -ou now?" Starscream asked, and she looked around, trying to figure it out.
"Just a sec. " she responded, and she moved closer to the light. She stuck a hand out, feeling warmer air from where the light was, and she braved a look.
And she found out then that she was on top of a tall building. Below her was the traffic from the city she had entered, and she wasn't too sure how she was going to get down.
Or even of how she had gotten there.
"Starscream? I may be in a bit of an odd situation here…" she said, and she looked up as a bright spotlight fell on her from above. She winced as the light stayed, her eyes rushing to adjust to the onslaught.
"-na? Are –ou oka-?" Starscream replied, and the girl ducked, shaking her head. She was almost completely blinded.
"Come out, and this will go smoothly." Said a human voice, and the girl stood up slowly, her back to the helicopter. There was something not right about this, and her gut feelings were almost always right.
"Well, for one, I blacked out in a department store on the street level, and I woke up on top of a tall building. Two, there is a oddly familiar helicopter telling me to surrender to it." She said, and she heard a gasp. She braced herself as a large gust of wind almost knocked her off her feet.
"Hold on, we are almost twenty feet from your location." Said a new voice, one that she didn't recognize. The girl jerked, lowering her hands. The helicopter's voice echoed through the empty roof again as she waited.
" Put your hands up where I can see them." Said the helicopter, and the girl raised her hands again. The sounds of three military jets made her smile. She only knew one military jet that would possible come after her. Starscream was here.
"Sk-rp, wha- did – ell yo- bout usi-g thi- lin? Its to- anger-" said Starscream, and she looked up at the familiar sight of one military jet with the red and blue paint job. The blue jet and the black and purple jet were unfamiliar to her, but she felt comforted by the fact that they were here.
"Slag. Its Blackout." Said the new voice, and the black and purple jet split off to circle the girl, effectively blocking her from the helicopters view. She heard a strange yell, and she looked up to see the strangest sight.
There were two mechs falling form the sky! One was bright yellow, and he landed on Starscream's back. The jet started to tumble, and the girl automatically dropped to the ground on her knees, shocked. The other one, a red mech, fell onto the black and purple jet.
"No! Leave them alone!" She yelled, and she ducked as the black and purple jet made an emergency transformation. She was not very surprised to see that the black and purple mech looked like Starscream in vehicle mode and mech mode. She had a feeling that the three were connected in some way.
"Oh yeah, Sides! Jet Judo; 1. Seekers; 0!" said the yellow mech, and he landed on the building in front of her. She moved back with a short yell, and she only noticed then that the helicopter, Blackout, was gone. The yellow mech watched as the black and purple mech transformed back into his alternate mode. The mech on Starscream flashed a smile at his comrade as Starscream went into a barrel roll.
The yellow mech turned around, looking for the thing that made the noise when he landed. He illuminated his headlights, shining them around for the object or creature. She stayed where she was, her eyes locked onto Starscream as he came out of his barrel roll when the yellow mech noticed her. She blinked, looking into the second bright light in the past thirty minutes, and she realized that the yellow mech must of bent down to look at her more closely.
"Hey Optimus, there's a human up here!" the yellow mech radioed out loud. There was a garbled response as a slight purple flash behind him made her jerk.
"Wha-! A –uma? Make –ure its un-rmed and lea- -alone!" said the reply, and there was a flash of light above her as the black and purple mech appeared out of thin air over top of her. She cringed as the yellow mech stood up, a confused look on his face as he moved into a defensive position.
"Leave Luna alone!" said the mech, and she recognized the voice as the one from Starscream. The yellow mech had forgotten to turn off his lights, so there was a brief moment when the jet-mech was blinded, and she saw the yellow mech charge. She covered her head with a yell, and she saw through the gaps in her arms that the yellow mech knocked the other mech over.
"NO! SKYWARP!" she yelled, and then she realized what she said.
"Skywarp? Where did I get that name?" she asked as she peered anxiously over the edge as a jet with a yellow mech on its back flew towards the sky, ducking around Starscream and the red mech. Soon, the red mech was flying through the air and he crashed into the building roof a ways in front of the girl, Luna.
"Sunny?" asked the red mech, shaking his head. She stiffened, trying to press herself into the shadows as the mech stood up, shaking its chassis. Gravel and bits of concrete fell off and landed on top of the roof, and she watched as the red mech walked over to her. There was a wild yelling, and the red mech looked up to see his comrade falling towards the building roof again. He noticed then that the mech was saying something over their private comm. link.
"THERES A HUMAN OVER THERE!" the yellow mech yelled at his companion, and the red mech moved forward, searching quickly for the human. He found her pressed into the abused concrete, her eyes wide with fear and anxiety. He snatched her up as he dodged just in time. His comrade landed hard, and the whole building shook with the force.
"Sunstreaker-" said the red mech as he stalked over to the yellow mech. Sunstreaker looked at him with a dazed look until he realized that there was an angry blue seeker behind his comrade.
"Sideswipe, look out-!" he called, but the blue mech smashed into Sideswipes back, knocking him forward. The red mech cradled Luna close to his chest, rolling slightly so that it was his shoulder that took the force. He rolled away quickly from the enraged mech as Sunstreaker moved forward, trying to keep the blows off of his comrade. Luna watched as Sunstreaker and the blue mech started to fight, and for every blow that fell on the blue jet, a single tear fell.
"Leave him alone!" she cried out to Sunstreaker, and she started to pound uselessly on the hand that held her. She was crying now, and her eyes were closed as she heard more than saw every blow that was traded between the two. Sideswipe watched her quietly, trying to understand her.
"But they were trying to hurt you, weren't they?" he asked the girl, moving her away from his chest and closer to his face. He moved to sit up, but there was a rumble as a sonic boom knocked his comrade away from the blue jet. The girl smiled, rubbing her tears away as the blue mech started to win the fight.
"Bro!" yelled Sideswipe, and he moved forward, forgetting about the human in his grasp.
"Give me the girl, Auto-idiot." Said a familiar voice, and Sideswipe turned with his back towards his comrades, looking at the mech behind him.
"Starscream!" the girl cried out happily, and the red mech looked at her with a look of shock. Starscream stood there, his null rays pointed at his chest with an angry look on his faceplate. Sideswipe froze, his optics locked onto the gun. He slowly lowered his body, stretching his hand towards the other mech, when a large warning shot from above made the two of them split apart. Loud powerful engines drowned out the sound of the smaller jet engines as a white belly of a shuttle appeared out of the clouds.
"Skyfire!" said Starscream, and he looked at the girl with a saddened look before he took to the skies, taking his wingmates with him as he fled. The shuttle descended further, the belly of it opening to show the other mech that was waiting.
"Quick Sides, we don't know if there coming back." Said Sunstreaker, and the two of them ran onto the shuttle, the door shutting quickly behind them. The girl fell asleep quickly to the soothing sound of the mechs talking around her.
"Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, report." Said the red and blue mech, his mouth guard hiding his true emotions.
"Optimus sir, we were performing a normal sweep with Skyfire-" started Sunstreaker, but the other mech interrupted him.
"I already knew that, Sunstreaker. I was here with you. Start with the Seekers." Optimus said, a sigh starting. Sunstreaker looked at his comrade before continuing.
"We saw the seekers, and we asked Starfire to open his hatch. Then, we attacked." Sunstreaker said. He paused, searching through his CPU for a better way to word what he wanted to say.
"We landed on Skywarp and Starscream. Skywarp threw Sunny off, and Screamer took me for a little thrill ride." At this, the two shared a grin. Optimus cleared his vocal processors, and the two jumped. Sunstreaker started talking again, trying ot keep the smile off his faceplate. His attempt was failing miserably.
"I landed on a building when I heard a odd shrieking noise. I moved to investigate as Screamer spun my brother around for a bit. I found a girl, one who was seemingly important to the seekers; they seemed awfully protective of her, for Decepticreeps." He said, and it was then that Sideswipe realized that he was still carrying the girl in his hand. He tried to tell his comrade, but Sunny ignored him.
"Skywarp teleported behind me, and HE knocked me away from Luna." He said, and Optimus quirked an optic ridge at the name. Sunny shrugged, explaining quickly, "That's what they called her."
"Screamer dislodged Sides as I pushed 'Warp over the edge of the building. Then Sides fell on the building, and I was dropped from the sky as Skywarp realized I followed him over the building the first time. I quickly radioed my bro about Luna, and he grabbed her. I landed hard, knocking a few systems around, but I saw that Thundercracker had landed in the confusion and was threatening Sides. I ran over and got the seekers attention, and we had a hand to hand battle." Sunny said, and he paused, thinking over his words again.
"Luna was safe in my hand, but she started crying, telling Sunny to leave the seekers alone. I asked her why we should do that, and she said that they weren't trying to hurt her. Thundercracker knocked Sunny away as Screamer asked me for Luna. Then you two arrived." Said Sides, and he waited for that to sink in before holding up Luna.
"I kind of took her, too…" said Sides, and he ducked as his brother rushed him in anger.
"What did you do that for, Idiot?!" Sunny said.
A?N: not quite how I wanted to end it, but I thought I had enough here for a few chapters. Just to kee pyou entertained. And for next time, what will happen to poor Luna? Will she be forced outof the Autobots care? And what will the Seekers do now that they have been denied thier prize? Keep reading and reviewing to find out!
