Guest: Lol indeed

Techna smiled when Optimus picked up StarRacer. She had to admit they were a cute family. She remembered when her family was whole, before Firestrike died. She missed having her Creator being there for her and her little brothers. She refused to think about that before she started to cry and focused on what was happening.

"StarRacer was born not long after the war started." Optimus started. Techna caught him smiling down at his daughter. "But we refused to let the Decepticons find out about her. We knew we couldn't hide her for much longer."

"So we sent her, with the help of Primus, to live somewhere else. She ended up being turned human and was adopted by June Darby, Jack's mom." Elita continued. Techna looked over at the humans who looked just as sad. She realized that the black haired lady was Jack's mom.

"When mom found her she was only a baby so she adopted her and called her Reyna. I was about 7 at the time." Jack added. "She was with me when we first saw Arcee and Bumblebee fight Decepticons. She had these…visions as a robot and was surrounded by robots."

"I had another vision at the time and I woke up at home. Later I found out that Arcee was in some of my visions. Next day we met the others." StarRacer continued. Techna frowned and just felt even more confused.

"Hmph, when she first saw Optimus she screamed." Ratchet muttered. Techna laughed as StarRacer grinned. She tried to imagine a little girl screaming as Optimus walked in. "That's when we found out about her visions."

"So how was she turned Cybertronian again?" Techna asked. She grew slightly worried when StarRacer cringed.

"We were on an energon mission with the children, with no apparent Decepticon threat, but Megatron and some of his soldiers showed up. The humans hid but Star wasn't so lucky. A drone shot her while she went to hide." Optimus said. Techna gasped and stared at the youngling in horror. She couldn't believe what StarRacer had gone through. "Arcee saw what happened and killed the drone. When she looked back to Reyna she had turned Cybertronian."

"Your expression was priceless when I said it was StarRacer." Arcee said with a smirk. Techna was stunned. She tried to process what had happened but it was proving to be a difficult task. "She also was recently captured by the Decepticons, but Mirage was able to save her."

"But I got shot by Megatron while escaping." Mirage muttered as he walked into the room. "Only one good thing came out of it, at least we found out early that I have…" he trailed. Techna put a servo on his shoulder comfortingly.

"Primus kid you've been through a lot." Techna said to StarRacer. She merely shrugged as she struggled out of Optimus' hold. Optimus set his daughter down so she could go talk to the humans. "I wonder what's going on in my dimension." Techna wondered out loud.

**Techna's dimension**

The Autobots glared at the Decepticon leader as they stepped through the ground bridge. Arcee and her trine stood in front of Ratchet in case Megatron wanted to offline her. Starscream was standing beside Megatron, not even bothering to hide his worry and fear for Techna. If you looked closely at Megatron's optics you could see his faint worry for his daughter. Brains and Wheelie hid behind Cliffjumper and watched undetected as the warlord approached Optimus.

"Care to explain why my daughter is dying?" Megatron growled. Wheelie got angry and walked out from behind the red mech.

"Why do you care? You're the one who tried to kill her!" Wheelie snarled. Megatron looked shocked to see his twin sons glaring up at him.

"Yeah, she's lucky the Autobots saved her." Brains added angrily. They'd never forgiven their Creator for abandoning them and what he did to Techna only made their temper worse. Optimus looked down at the brothers and frowned.

"Weren't you supposed to be with the humans at base?" Optimus asked. The minibots rolled their optics but backed off. Megatron was furious. Not only did they have his daughters' loyalty, but also that of his sons'. Optimus turned his attention back to his enemy. "Techna was shot by Shockwave, a soldier in YOUR faction." Starscream shrunk back, afraid that a battle with break out. He'd protect Techna's unconscious body no matter what. He just wished he could help her without Megatron's approval.

"L-Lord Megatron why do we have to make an agreement with the Autobots? She's your daughter and you should allow her to live!" Starscream stumbled over his words but got stronger in the end. Megatron glared at him as a warning but didn't strike him or answer. "I don't care if you're against it but I'm helping Techna." Starscream moved forward to go with the Autobots but a large hand grabbed him by the throat and threw him. He slid on the ground before skidding to a stop. He groaned and sat up, glaring at Megatron. The Autobots looked surprised but didn't dare move. Starscream stood up, wincing at the terrible pain in his wings.

"It wasn't under my command for him to injure Techna, therefore not my responsibility." Megatron snarled. Wheelie and Brain narrowed their optics. They couldn't stand this mech anymore, even if he was their Creator.

"Megatron, do you really wish for your daughter to die?" Optimus asked. Megatron was silent. The small twins prayed to Primus that he'd allow Starscream to save their sister.

"She is no longer my daughter." Megatron snarled before activating his blasters. The Autobots barely had enough time to dodge before he shot at them. Both factions sprang into action while Starscream ran to aid Ratchet who commed the humans for an emergency ground bridge. Starscream saw Arcee and called out her name. She turned and ran up to him.

"Shoot my arm!" Starscream commanded. Arcee's optics widened.

"Why would I-" she started.

"Just do it so the tracker will deactivate!" Starscream yelled. Arcee reluctantly shot Starscream in the arm where the tracker was. He ignored the pain and helped Ratchet get Techna into the base, grabbing the small twins on the way. He knew that if they were hurt Techna wouldn't be very happy. They ran inside and Starscream dropped the two onto the balcony next to the humans. "Stay with the children!" he commanded as he followed Ratchet into the med bay.

"Hey, you ain't the boss of us!" Wheelie yelled. Raf picked him up by his foot and held him upside down. "Hey what gives!"

"You know you really do have a bad temper." Raf said as Wheelie struggled. At his words Wheelie stopped and pulled out two small guns and aimed them at him.

"Wanna say that again?" he dared. Raf put him down quickly so he wouldn't get shot. Brains and Wheelie kept demanding to see their sister and wanted to know why they couldn't go too. Finally, to the humans' relief, the others commed for a ground bridge which they quickly opened. The Autobots came in looking beaten and worn, but alive.

"Is Techna okay?" Optimus asked them.

"How should we know? We're not allowed inside." Brains grumbled. Raf pointed to Wheelie.

"He tried to shoot me!" he claimed. Bee glared at the minibot who looked nervous, but everyone else looked surprised.

"He's armed?" Prowl asked curiously. Wheelie grumbled something and walked away from the bots. The taller Autobots wondered how in the name of Primus they were related to Techna. Ratchet came running in suddenly, gaining everyone's attention.

"Techna's healed but when we finished her repairs STARSCREAM went unconscious!" Ratchet exclaimed. Wheelie and Brains decided enough was enough and ran into the med bay despite everyone's protests.

Did the tracker really get destroyed? What happened to Starscream? And will Techna ever get home to her dimension?
