CHAPTER SIX
Summer Event Is Heaven On Earth? !
O~O~O~O~O
Well, after that incident on the fourth of July, there was no way Emma was getting rid of Sunstreaker and Sideswipe…especially Sideswipe! They had saved her from the Decepticons, and now they were to be her guardians.
When she asked Optimus why, he'd said that because there was two of them, the Decepticons would have a harder time keeping track of which Lamborghini twin she was with.
That…made perfect sense. It also meant she got to ride around in a Lamborghini! It didn't get much fancier than that! Even if Sunstreaker was still acting a little bit distant around her, at least he was talking to her.
Still…she wondered how Hound felt about it. Now that she knew the reasons behind his not being able to be her guardian anymore, she wasn't as upset. She felt really bad for him, and her dislike for the Decepticons on that matter was strong.
Being around the twins meant she didn't have a lot of time to dwell on the matter, though.
Emma heard knocking on her door one morning and went to open it.
The twins were on the other side of the door.
She stopped, took one look at them both, and said suspiciously: "What have you done?"
Both of them looked like the cat that had swallowed the canary. Their holoforms wore looks of equal guiltiness but, at the same time, they looked fairly happy about something.
Emma glanced down at her top, which was a style to be tied at the front, and realised that she hadn't tied it properly, and a bit of her bra was showing. Blushing, she quickly fixed it.
"Actually," Sideswipe said. "We need to leave now."
"And, you're coming too." Sunstreaker added, grabbing her hand.
"What, why?" Emma asked, as Sideswipe grabbed her other hand and they dragged her down the hall, followed by Platinum.
Suddenly, from somewhere inside the Ark, they heard the unmistakable yell of anger from one very angry medic.
Emma gasped. "What did you do? !" She repeated, looking from one twin to the other.
"We'll tell you in a minute…" Sideswipe replied, as he and Sunstreaker quickly returned to their robot forms and then transformed. "Get in," He said, opening the door for her.
"Why am I suddenly involved in this?" She complained, as the seatbelt tightened around her, and both Lamborghinis sped out of the base.
"We had to get out, and you – our charge – had to come, too." Sideswipe said reasonably.
Emma sighed, although she was smiling slightly. "Okay, why? What did you do?"
"Let's just say," Sunstreaker spoke up. "That Hatchet now looks like a giant pink chicken."
Emma was silent for two seconds, before she started laughing. "I don't believe you two, sometimes!" She told them. "I'm surprised Ratchet hadn't turned you both into table lamps or something!"
"I'd make one good-looking table lamp." Sunstreaker mused.
Emma just rolled her eyes. "So…where are we going? I haven't had breakfast yet. I'd like breakfast now, if you don't mind."
"Then that's what we'll do." Sideswipe declared.
O~O~O~O~O
Back at the base, Ratchet was quivering with anger, his robot body dripping with glue, pink paint and white feathers.
Optimus was standing calmly, but Aqua of course was giggling. She thought the twins were simply the best, and recognized their handiwork instantly.
"When I get my hands on those two…" Ratchet muttered, just as Hound walked in.
"Has anyone seen – " He broke off suddenly upon seeing Ratchet.
"Laugh," Ratchet warned him. "And you get the same thing the twins are gonna get."
Hound wisely chose not to test this. Instead, he turned to Optimus. "Prime, have you seen Emma?"
Optimus shook his head, but Aqua nodded. "I did! Sunny and Sides took her with them when they made their getaway!"
"Of course." Optimus sighed. "Well, as long as they're with her, she should be fine." He noticed the look on Hound's face. "Hound? What is it?"
Hound didn't answer.
Aqua, however, did. "He's jealous!" She chirped. "He wishes he were still Emma's guardian because he really likes her, but he can't be because of the Decepticons!"
Optimus and Ratchet glanced at the youngling, and then at Hound, who looked decidedly uncomfortable. If he'd been in his holoform, he would've been blushing.
Ratchet rolled his optics, and muttered something about 'summer fever', as Hound hurried out of the room.
Optimus looked at his daughter.
She looked back up at him. "What?" She blinked. "It's true…"
"I'm…sure it is." Optimus nodded.
O~O~O~O~O
On a decidedly different base altogether, Megatron was glaring at Starscream, who looked even more uncomfortable than Hound had.
"And when," The Decepticon leader spoke in a dangerously low voice. "Were you planning on telling me about this human?"
Starscream cast a swift look of pure venom at Soundwave, who was unaffected, before turning back to Megatron and saying: "My liege, of course I had not intended to keep such important information a secret from you for terribly long. I…simply wished to gather more information on the matter first, perhaps even capture the girl before things got out of hand…"
"As they now clearly have." Megatron finished. He could see straight through Starscream's lies, although he chose not to act upon it. Better to let the second-in-command believe he was safe, and give him a false sense of security. That was Megatron's style. He turned to Soundwave. "Go and inform Thrust, Dirge and Ramjet that their new assignment is to bring this human girl to me. Make sure they are properly briefed."
Soundwave nodded, and left.
Starscream watched him go, strong feelings of dislike welling up in his body. Why had Soundwave had to send that annoying bird of his out anyway? On top of all that, Starscream had failed to capture the human with extraordinary power, and it was getting to him.
Still, he had one advantage here. He had a holoform. He could turn into a human. And, while the idea of being like that certainly freaked him out a little bit, he also knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that it was going to be useful. Also, Megatron didn't know about it, so that was a bonus.
As Starscream walked through the halls of the Nemesis, his processor was ticking. He knew there must be some reason Megatron wanted this girl so badly. He planned to figure it out…and keep her from Megatron.
That was Starscream's style.
O~O~O~O~O
Megatron, of course, knew what Starscream was capable of all too well. He didn't trust the Seeker in the slightest, and knew there must be something more his would-be-second-in-command was hiding.
He knew how to find out, as well. After all, that's why Soundwave was third-in-command.
O~O~O~O~O
Carly and Spike saw Emma, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe from across the road, and the blonde-haired girl began waving wildly.
"Hey!" She called. "Over here!"
The five of them met up on Carly and Spike's side of the road.
"Did you see this?" Carly asked Emma, thrusting a piece of paper at her.
"What is it?" Emma asked, looking at it. The twins looked over her shoulders. "Fun In The Sun Beach Party," She read out. "Come one, come all." Emma glanced up at Carly. "Uh…what about it?"
Carly jabbed her finger at a spot on the flyer.
Emma looked. "Karaoke contest…" Her eyes widened. "No, no, no!" She exclaimed.
Carly grinned. "Yes, yes, yes," She teased. "It doesn't matter who called you baby, you still have to sing."
"When I get my hands on Skywarp…" Emma muttered. "Do I have a choice in this?" She asked.
"No." Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Carly and Spike said in unison.
Emma sighed. "But…I haven't got anything to wear…and, it's tomorrow…" She and Carly exchanged a glance.
"Shopping spree!" They sang in unison.
"Wow," Sideswipe said, shaking his head. "If you sing as good as you did just then, we'll have a chance at winning…" He looked at the flyer.
"A free week at a luxury beach house in Florida? !" Sunstreaker exclaimed. "Emma! You have to win that contest! I want to go!"
Emma gulped, blushing. "O…okay…" She agreed. "I'll enter…though I feel a strong bout of laryngitis coming on…"
"Too bad." Carly replied.
"Oh." Emma pouted.
The guys laughed.
O~O~O~O~O
"Did you hear?" Bluestreak said to Hound that evening. "Emma's entering a karaoke contest tomorrow to win a week in Florida! The twins, Carly and Spike are all going along to support her, oh of course since it was Carly's idea, but there's going to be a lot of competition apparently, but those guys seem confident that Emma will win! Emma herself's not too confident, because she doesn't want to sing in front of all those people but I think she'll be okay, as long as she doesn't panic! Of course, she's prone to panicking when things go wrong, but nothing will go wrong because her guardians are there!"
Hound, who'd stopped listening after Bluestreak mentioned the karaoke contest, was now jolted back into reality. "I see." Was all he said, before walking down the hall towards the rec room. Before entering he assumed his holoform.
He entered the room, to find that Emma was the only one in there. She was watching the big-screen TV, and was watching one of the many satellite channels. The show was some sort of Japanese anime, and the ending credits were playing.
Hound listened closely for a second, before he realised that Emma was singing.
"Ki ni kuwanai aitsu
Ijiwaru wo shichau no wa "suki da kara" yo
Just Love! Ki ni naru kara itsu mo
Muri na koto itchau no
Chotto go-me-n…"
Hound listened, entranced, before Platinum suddenly stuck her head over the back of the couch, and glared at him.
Emma jumped, and turned around quickly. "Oh…Hound…" She was blushing, finally having been caught out singing. She looked down. "Uh…"
"Emma…" Hound said, also not looking at her.
"Yes?" She asked quickly.
"Tomorrow…at the karaoke contest…" Hound said quietly. "I'll…see you up on stage, okay?"
"You're coming?" She asked; her heart pounding.
"Yes."
She paused, and then said: "Thank you…I guess…it won't be so bad…"
Hound looked up quickly. "Emma, you'll be fine! More than fine, you'll probably win!"
She was startled. "M-me? ! Really?"
He nodded. "You'll see…don't worry about anything, just sing like you did then…"
She blushed even more. "You weren't supposed to hear that, Hound."
He grinned. "It's a free country."
She grinned, too. "Who taught you that?"
"The twins."
"I'll bet they did."
They smiled at each other.
O~O~O~O~O
The next day, however, Emma was anything but smiling, although she tried not to show how nervous she was. She had absolutely point-blank refused to wear a bikini, saying something about it being too risqué in this day and age, even though Carly was wearing a white one. Emma herself instead settled for a modest light pink one with a light blue trim, and a white sarong that she wouldn't take off.
When the twins saw her, however, they were very impressed, and she was blushing like mad as they all walked across the beach to where Carly, Spike, Bumblebee, Bluestreak and Hound were waiting for them. Why Bumblebee and Bluestreak had come, Emma knew not. Still, they all looked pretty cool in their board shorts (all in appropriate colours, of course).
Spike already had a list of things to do before two (when the karaoke contest was). Swimming, morning tea, sand castle contest, more swimming, lunch, then free time.
I feel like I'm on camp again… Emma thought, looking up at the clear blue sky. It feels like that was a whole other life-time ago…I wonder what everyone's doing right now…
"Come on, Emma," Carly grabbed her hand. "Let's go swimming."
Emma looked out at the sparkling blue waves, and imagined how cold it would be. "No." She shook her head.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe exchanged a glance, which Emma saw. She immediately began taking steps backwards. They began walking towards her.
"Don't you two dare." Emma hissed, looking at Platinum. "Tell them." She said.
Platinum looked at her, and then flew over to where Carly was, as if to say: You're on your own.
"Don't leave me!" Emma wailed, just as Sunstreaker and Sideswipe pounced. "Noooo! !" Emma protested, as the twins carried her to the water. "I don't wanna go swimming! I have a note!"
"One…" Sunstreaker counted, as people watching smiled at their antics.
"Two…" Sideswipe added.
"Three!" They both said, and tossed Emma into the semi-deep water.
Her sarong flew off and Sideswipe caught it, as Emma herself landed in the water with a splash. She came up spluttering, and glaring at the twins, hands on hips.
"You two are so obnoxious!" She exclaimed.
The twins grinned back at her. "Just one of the services we provide for free, baby." They responded in unison.
O~O~O~O~O
From his spot by a building close to the beach, Starscream saw the whole thing. His red eyes narrowed as he watched the twins mess around in the water with Emma, although he smirked a little when Sunstreaker pretended to see a shark, and everyone stampeded out of the water except for those three. Humans were so easily panicked, he thought. You'd think they'd be used to a little bit of danger by now.
Sighing, Starscream got up but, when he noticed Hound on the beach as well, he stopped. Maybe it would be better if Hound didn't see him. The Autobot tracker was bound to recognize him, after all, and Starscream wanted to do this incognito.
O~O~O~O~O
Emma walked away from the sandcastle, which Sunstreaker had designed to look like a palace from ancient Japan (pillars and everything), and Carly joined her. They decided to get ice-creams, cookies and cream for Emma and mint-choc-chip for Carly.
As they stood around there, eating their treats, a group of girls approached them. There were five of them, all of them tall and slender. Two of them were wearing bikinis. Three were blonde.
Emma and Carly exchanged a glance.
"So," The girl in the middle spoke, her cobalt blue eyes piercing into the two other girls. She had the skimpiest bikini of all, which was very out-there for the year 1987, and long blonde hair. "We saw you two over there with the Autobots…care to introduce us?" She wanted to know. "It'd be good to get to know them, especially since they seem to have human forms, now…"
"Uh…" Emma felt her throat go dry. She wished she hadn't finished her ice-cream so soon. "You see…" This was a scene straight out of a movie.
"Who would we be introducing, anyway?" Carly wanted to know, finishing her ice-cream and crossing her arms.
The middle-girl's blue eyes flashed, but then she put on a fake smile and said: "I'm Priscilla. These are my girls – Kerri, Miranda, Anastasia and Cokie. We've always been interested in the Autobots – they're really cool…"
Emma gulped. This was exactly the kind of thing she wasn't good at but, at the same time, her insides were curling in anticipation.
Carly's were too, apparently. "I think they're busy right now." She said evenly.
The seven girls looked over to where the Autobots and Spike were. At that moment, a little kid ran over and purposely demolished Sunstreaker's dynasty palace.
"Noooooooo! !" The blonde wailed, falling dramatically, falling to his knees in a dramatic show of despair.
Sideswipe face-palmed, and then glanced over at the girls. He saw Emma and Carly looking, and waved to them.
"Kyaa, did you see that? !" Kerri exclaimed. "Sunstreaker waved at me!"
"Uh, that's Sideswipe," Carly stated. "And I think he was waving at Emma. He's her guardian, after all."
Emma cringed. Why did Carly say that?
As she'd expected, the five strangers all glared at her. Anastasia spoke up. "Why would he be her guardian, anyway?"
"Because she lives with them." Carly said calmly.
"WHAT? !" The give girls cried in unison, so loudly that half the beach looked at them.
"How did she get to be so lucky? !" Cokie demanded.
"Believe me, I'm anything but lucky…" Emma muttered, thinking of the Decepticons.
Priscilla stepped forward, towering over her. "I hate people," She said coldly. "Who fail to see how lucky they are, especially in this situation…" She glanced over at the boys again, before turning back to Emma.
"And I," Emma said, her heart pounding. "Hate people who think they know everything about other people's lives!" This reminded her of her fights with her sister!
Priscilla looked outraged. "Excuse me? !" She exclaimed. "You seem to believe you're better than everybody else, going places with the Autobots," (Another glance at them). "But, really, you're just a desperate nobody who could never get their attention if she didn't bewitch them!"
Emma and Carly stared at her for a moment.
"Bewitched?" Carly asked Emma. "You mean, like witches? She thinks you're a witch?"
"The one that flies in the sky?" Emma wondered. "Mahari-ku-maharita-yanabara-yanyanayan?" She sang.
She and Carly both laughed.
Priscilla's eyes were flashing dangerously by now. "Oh, you fancy yourself a singer, do you?" She asked. "Well, then, that settles it – Miranda will see you at the karaoke contest!"
"What? !" Emma and Carly cried in unison.
Priscilla nodded. "Winner gets to kiss one of the Autobots."
"Uh…shouldn't they be the ones to decide that?" Craly pointed out.
"Quiet, you." Priscilla snapped. "Anyway, it doesn't affect you – just us three," She indicated herself, Miranda and Emma. "And the Autobot I decide to kiss…"
This is…extremely hilarious, really… Emma thought. I actually can't wait to see what happens…
"Okay, fine by me!" Emma declared suddenly.
Whoa! Carly thought, impressed. Emma got serious!
"Bring it on!" Emma told Miranda and Priscilla.
"Fine!" The two blondes snapped.
O~O~O~O~O
From his vantage-point, Starscream watched the confrontation between Emma and the five other human girls. He could hear what was going on, and it amused him. Humans could be so argumentative at times, especially human fems. And, it appeared, Emma was going to be doing some singing. Well, this Starscream could certainly look forward too. He'd heard humans sing before, and they weren't half bad. If Emma could sing, he might even enjoy it.
O~O~O~O~O
"I'm nervous," Emma whispered to Carly.
"Don't be." Carly whispered back.
"But people are going to be looking at me!" Emma hissed.
Platinum uncoiled from around her neck and transferred herself to Carly's shoulders.
"Just remember what's at stake here…" Carly muttered, glancing darkly at Miranda, who was about to go up onstage.
Emma groaned. "How could I forget?"
They listened to Miranda sing.
"What…was that?" Carly asked at the end of it.
"Well, she held most of the notes." Emma said diplomatically.
"Yeah, everything from C to D." Carly said sarcastically, although they clapped along with everybody else. "Okay, go on, you're next." She gave Emma a little push towards the stage.
"Do I ha–?"
"Yes! Now go!"
"Okay, okay, I'm going…" Emma said, her voice and hands shaking. She walked numbly towards the stage.
Down on the sand, Carly joined her boyfriend and the Autobots, who were watching Emma's progress.
"She looks a bit white." Bluestreak noted. "Do you think she's nervous? I think she's nervous? Is she going to sing now, do you think she'll be alright?"
"Yes!" Carly cried in frustration.
"I hope so…" Hound murmured, glancing all around. That was when he noticed a black-haired man standing at the edge of the crowd, watching the happenings. Something about him was familiar…and then he turned to Hound, who caught sight of the man's red eyes. Starscream!
Hound didn't even bother to tell the others where he was going, he just moved off into the crowd, like a shark heading towards its prey. Starscream, like any fish spotted by a shark, turned and ran. Hound ran after him.
Up onstage, Emma saw Hound leave, just as she was about to start singing. She was so startled, that she missed the entire first chorus, and everybody who knew the song knew.
Carly sighed. "Not a good time to leave, Hound…" She muttered as, up onstage, Emma attempted to regain her composure.
Priscilla and her posse were sniggering.
Emma took a deep breath, her hands were wrapped so tightly around the microphone and were shaking. She had been the exact same when singing a solo for choir one time, in front of the whole school. Why did I ever agree to this? She thought, and then she caught sight of Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, their bright blue eyes looking right at her.
She gulped.
"When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside…"
With a rush, Emma realized that Carly and Hound had both been right – she was a good singer! If only her voice would stop shaking, then it would be better!
"When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me
In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore…"
O~O~O~O~O
Starscream turned around, glaring angrily at Hound. Both of them were standing halfway down the beach, away from the stage. The Seeker had finally had enough, and he knew Hound would be able to find him no matter where he went. He wasn't an Autobot tracker for nothing.
"You've obviously forgotten what happened the last time we met, Autobot," Starscream said darkly, his red eyes flashing.
Hound met his gaze steadily, but the Autobot's hands were now shaking. "I haven't forgotten, Starscream," He replied. "That's why I want you to leave this place."
Starscream laughed hollowly. "I am a Decepticon, and I'll go where I choose," He stated. "But tell me, Hound, what do you find so special about that girl? Why is it that you Autobots guard her so fiercely?"
Hound gulped.
Starscream smirked. "Oh, I've noticed the way you all treat her. The way you all look at her. It's as if she has…a spark…" He mused thoughtfully.
"You'll stay away from her, Decepticon," Hound said quietly, anger quivering in his voice. "You'll never be able to take her…"
Starscream looked at him, and seemed about to answer when, just then, three highly familiar jets streaked overhead, heading towards the crowd.
"Frag!" Hound and Starscream exclaimed in unison, and then exchanged a startled glance that turned to a glare.
Neither of them trusted each other. Then again, neither of them trusted the Coneheads, either!
O~O~O~O~O
Emma, standing up onstage, was about as attuned to jet engines meaning trouble as her Autobot friends were. That's why, when she saw the three jets heading towards her, she nearly freaked out.
Luckily, the responses from the four Autobot mechs watching her was a little more cultured.
Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Bluestreak and Bumblebee all transformed back to their robot modes as one, with the first three intercepting the jets even before they'd transformed. Bumblebee, with Spike and Carly, raced to where Emma was, seemingly frozen to the stage.
"Come on, we've gotta go!" Carly said, dragging Emma off the stage.
"Wait, where's Hound? !" Emma cried.
Always Hound, isn't it? Bumblebee thought, just as a stray laser beam came flying towards them.
"Look out!" Spike cried, as people were screaming and running in all directions to escape the conflict.
Emma suddenly noticed something horrible – a little girl, about three, was standing in a frozen position that was familiar to Emma, and she was right in the path of the laser beam! Emma ran forwards, her feet carrying her across the sand a little faster than she realized she was going. She reached the girl just as the laser beam did, and pushed her out of the way, taking the full hit to her chest.
"EMMA!" Carly screamed, as her new friend flew some five feet away, landing roughly on the sand.
The blue and yellow Conehead known as Dirge saw his chance, and landed in front of her. She stared back up at him, bloodied scratches on her arms and chest, fear in her eyes. Fear, of course, was just what Dirge inspired.
Further laser fire prevented Carly, Spike and Bumblebee from approaching her, but Platinum was already there.
In an instant, the Pythormer had transformed to her larger mode, making an impressive sight as she spread her huge pink wings and got between Emma and Dirge.
Dirge leapt back, startled.
Just then, the blue disc on Emma's chest began glowing, emitting some sort of strange light – and power.
Up in the air, Sideswipe and Ramjet stopped fighting, and stared down in shock.
Brother, you reading that? Sideswipe asked his brother through their comlink.
Yeah, this is what Prime was talking about! Sunstreaker replied, as he and Bluestreak tackled Thrust to the ground.
Platinum had lunged at Dirge, attempting to bite the Decepticon with her poisoned fangs, and he was forced to get back if he wanted to stay alive.
Starscream, however, saw his chance. He seemed to be drawn in by the power, which was glowing faintly on Emma's chest. The blue disc – the entry point of the data transfer from Primus – seemed to have born the brunt of the laser fire, and protected her from harm.
Now Starscream understood why Megatron wanted to this girl so badly. The energy readings were off the scale.
Starscream transformed as he ran and Hound, realizing what was happening, hurried to follow suit.
Emma's hazel eyes widened in complete horror as she saw the Seeker heading towards her. She stood up quickly and felt a strange power in her legs. That power was what allowed her to jump up, like a ninja. She arced her body and used her hands to push herself up from Starscream's head, flipping around and landing safely on Hound's shoulder.
"Omigosh!" She gasped.
Hound could feel her spark beating a mile and hour as the blue glow dulled and vanished, and she was breathing heavily. His own spark was pounding, although that might have been because Emma was clinging to him, her body glistening with sweat after her amazing feat. He had to remind himself that Decepticons were attacking.
Ramjet, at that moment, chose to live up to his name, and his victim was Sideswipe. The black, white and red Autobot fell back to the sand. The Decepticons were fighting fierce, Hound realized.
The same though seemed to have occurred to Emma who, unbeknownst to everyone else, decided to go all Pokemon Trainer. "Platinum!" She commanded, her voice ringing through the heavy breathing. She stood up on Hound's shoulder and pointed to Ramjet. "Use Tackle attack!"
"Huh?" Everyone looked at her, and then watched as Platinum used Ramjet's own tactic against him.
"Great, now use Poison Fang attack!" Emma was actually really enjoying herself, and so was disappointed when the three Coneheads retreated.
Starscream too, it seemed, had vanished.
"We did it!" Emma exclaimed, throwing her arms around the side of his helmet and hugging him as best she could. "Yay!"
Hound's spark was now beating so quickly, he could feel it in his chest plate.
"Hey!" Sunstreaker complained, as he helped Sideswipe up. "Hound didn't even do anything!"
"Well…" Emma hesitated, and then smiled. "That's okay! We still won! And I discovered I can fly! I was awesome!" She pumped a fist into the air.
Hound couldn't have put it better himself.
O~O~O~O~O
What WAS that? ! Dirge exclaimed, as the three Coneheads hightailed it back to the Nemesis.
I dunno! I've NEVER seen anything like it before in my life! Thrust replied.
Megatron has to be told. Ramjet decided, feeling a little bit sore after that snake had rammed into him. Ramjet wasn't used to being on the receiving end of his own type of attacks. That girl and her Pythormer could be trouble.
What I don't get, Thrust said. Is what Starscream was doing there? Where did he come from? And, was it just me, or were the Autobots humans right before they attacked us?
Who knows? Dirge replied.
Megatron will be told. Ramjet stated.
