Starscream jumped at Fowler's voice and gave Techna a confused look. Techna frowned at the man as he glared at Starscream. Ironhide and Ratchet scowled at Fowler and StarRacer stood in front of Starscream, as if to protect him. Arcee's trine gave Fowler a dark glare. Mirage and Optimus narrowed their optics at him.

"And who's that?!" Agent Fowler yelled while pointing to Techna. The new bots flinched at his harshness. StarRacer was starting to get annoyed by him for yelling at her friends. Optimus sighed and stepped forward.

"Agent Fowler Starscream and Techna are not from our dimension. This Starscream is far different than our dimension's version of him." Optimus informed. Fowler's eyes narrowed at the couple.

"Agent Flower-" Starscream was interrupted by everyone in the room, except Fowler and Optimus, bursting into a fit of laughter. "What did I say?"

"It's Fowler, not Flower." Techna whispered to him. Starscream's optics widened and StarRacer fell over in giggles. Starscream gave the youngling an amused look before turning to Fowler.

"My apologies, Agent Fowler you must not have been there when Techna explained the situation we're currently in." Starscream said. Fowler narrowed his eyes.

"Well I'm listening." He mumbled. Starscream winced and looked at Techna who looked worried. Techna's wing twitched nervously, remembering how she got some of the scars on her wings. She approached where Fowler stood.

"Agent Fowler, do you see these scars on my wings?" Techna asked. Fowler squinted to see the faint marks and nodded. "In my dimension YOU caused them. Looks like things haven't changed much between dimensions. I was forced into the Decepticon faction and Starscream followed to protect me. I was exiled from the Decepticons after taking Starscream's punishment and due to the fact that some of my closest friends were Autobots I was able to join the Autobot cause. Starscream finally managed to flee from the cons as well. Questions?"

"Who forced you into the Decepticons?" Fowler scoffed. Techna and Starscream shared a nervous look before turning back to the human. Techna sighed, her wings drooping.

"My Creator, Megatron." Techna confessed. Fowler's eyes widened to the size of softballs as he stared at Techna in shock.

"YOU'RE Megatron's daughter?" he gasped. Techna nodded slowly. Fowler groaned lightly. "You bots are more confusing than I ever imagined." The newcomers scowled, he was worse than the Fowler in their dimension. StarRacer stuck her glossa out at the man earning a chuckle from most of the bots. An alarm went off signaling Decepticons. Optimus turned to everyone in the room.

"Autobots prepare to-" he paused and looked over at Techna and Starscream. "I don't think Starscream should join us, in the event we confuse which one you are. Techna, you are welcome to join us since you do not exist here." Techna shared a soft look with Starscream before nodding. "Autobots roll out!" And with that the bots transformed and flew through the now opened ground bridge. Starscream looked hesitantly over at Ratchet who seemed busy and StarRacer was sitting against the wall talking to Mirage, who wasn't allowed to go with his current health condition. When he looked to where the humans were his optics widened.

"Excuse me, but where are the children?" Starscream asked, obviously nervous for the welfare of the organics. Ratchet and Fowler looked around and they both groaned.

"Scrap!" Ratchet exclaimed, sending a comm. to Optimus.

Techna transformed along with the others and was relieved to finally be able to fly again. Her optics scanned the landscape around them for Decepticon activity but found none so far. Out of the corner of her optic she saw the others walking towards the south so she stealthily followed them. She heard shouting from behind her and she expertly spun around and prepared her swords. What she saw was both amusing and annoying. The humans were staring up at her in shock and fear as she retracted her blades.

"Hey Optimus, the humans followed us." Techna informed with a scowl. The others walked up looking displeased. Miko glared at Techna.

"She drew her swords at us!" Miko accused. Optimus frowned and threw a sideways glance to the ex-con who seemed to be debating how to respond.

"Techna, why did you deploy your weapons?" Optimus asked the seeker. Techna tensed and her wing twitched nervously.

"My guard was up and when I heard shouting it was instinct. I wasn't always safe with the cons you know." Techna said with a monotone. Optimus nodded, she had a valid point. Miko pouted and crossed her arms. "Why did you follow us? In my dimension you were just as foolish."

"Says the one who faced down Megatron on the Nemesis surrounded by cons!" Miko snapped. Techna froze, her optics wide. Miko realized her mistake and tried to stutter out an apology but Techna raised a servo.

"Let's just finish the fragging mission." Techna hissed. "And just for the record, if you knew what it was like to watch the one you love about to be murdered, I'd bet you anything that you'd do the same." Everyone was silent as the femme turned and walked towards their objective. Jack glared at Miko as they followed Techna. When they found her she was hiding behind a rock. She motioned for them to be silent and pointed around the rock. What they saw were the Decepticons mining for energon. Optimus gave the command and everyone brought out their blasters as the guardians told their charges to stay put. Techna settled on her dual blades but didn't put them on fire…yet. They all slid carefully down the steep slope and began attacking the cons. Techna was the last one there and deflected the blasts from the Decepticons with her swords, though they were wondering who she was. When she got close to a con she caught her swords on fire and beheaded it. There were several gasps from the humans, Autobots, and Decepticons. "What? You've never seen a green-optic'd femme with flaming swords?" Techna smirked with amusement as she continued to fight. Techna was soon, however, thrown off balance and was sent flying back as a missile exploded in front of her. She looked up in shock and fear to see the SIC of this dimension's Decepticons.

Starscream

Uh oh Techna's in trouble! This isn't the Starscream she grew up with, this is the sadistic SIC of the Decepticons who won't think twice in killing her. Will she be able to fight or will her spark not allow it?
