keacdragon and Skyfethre:: Thank you for the review. I really appreciate it. I hope you really enjoy this chapter. :))))

Jazz and Dani are on the way back to the base. But Jazz picks up four signals and orders Dani to run. Who are these four signals coming from? We already know that the 'Cons don't quite give up on their target.

Chapter Three

Jazz was driving and began listening to his rap music which became a bit too loud for my liking. When the music turned even louder than what I was used to, I plugged up my ears and breathed deeply.

Jazz turned down the radio and asked, "Dani? You all right?"

I unplugged my ears and said, "Yes. Your music's like ten times loud."

"We wouldn't get along."

"I know. I think one of the Autobots told me that. Why don't you play something like oldies or alternative rock?" I asked.

(When I was young, all I would listen to is oldies and now I listen to some oldies, pop, rock, alternative, classical, and some rap. So my tastes have grown. I think it's the beat that get's me interested in music.)

"You like the 'dull' stuff?"

"Sorry."

"Don't be sorry. You and I have different tastes in music. What do you like to listen to, Dani?"

"Skim through the channels. I've got to listen first and then I'll tell you."

Jazz skimmed through the various channels until he found an oldies station. I didn't like the song and asked him to skim again. He skimmed patiently. "There!" I said. "I like this song." I liked the Black Eyed Peas, Linkin Park, Lady Gaga, Coldplay, and that was to name a few of the bands I liked. "Black Eyed Peas." Jazz asked.

"Yes!"

"You don't have bad tastes in music, Dani." Jazz commented.

"I thought I did." I said.

"Everyone has multiple music tastes-" Jazz trailed off. We weren't near the base and we were kind of in the middle of nowhere. We were just leaving the town as Jazz's scanners picked up a signal. He braked.

"What's going on?" I asked, looking at the radio.

"I'm picking up a signal."

"Signal?"

"Did you know that there's more Decepticons other than Barricade, Megatron, and Soundwave?"

"No."

"I'm picking up a signal." Jazz said. "Notifying Optimus and team."

Jazz couldn't triangulate the signal. He found himself scanning more than one signal. "Oh slag!" Jazz said, "There's more than one signal."

"More than one signal?" I asked.

"Yes." Jazz reversed. "I'm not waitin' for this signal to appear, especially with you in here with me."

Jazz spun around and went back to town. Then he slammed on his brakes. The signals were converging onto him, cutting his escape attempts or protocols. Something happened to Jazz. His attitude became more commanding and so did his tone of voice. "Danielle Evans! When I tell you to run, you run. Do not stop, turn around, or even attempt to come back to me! Do you understand me?"

I looked at his radio. "Yes." I squeaked as the belts audibly clicked and the door open. I looked at him.

"Run!" He said, scanning the closest incoming signal. "Don't look back!"

I ran out of the car and I heard the familiar sound of Jazz transforming. I ran into the woods and then heard metal on metal and cannons firing. I spun around to see Jazz fighting four Decepticons. I didn't know any of them, but one of them aimed his weapon at Jazz and fired.

"JAZZ!" I screamed, misjudging a step and almost landing face down in the leaves.

"Find her! Find that fleshy!" a voice shrieked and that prompted me to turn around and run away. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a purple and black Decepticon leaving the group.

I pumped my legs to go faster when I heard, "Little fleshling. You cannot escape from me. I know where you are."

I tripped over a fallen tree and fell to the ground. I crawled a little bit on the ground, feeling twigs scratching my hands and the leaves under me crackled from my weight. My breath hitched and I gasped frantically as I tried to crawl away. I managed to stand up and run deeper into the woods. I heard something crack and I pumped my legs even harder. Suddenly, the trees in front of me were gone and a loud voice said, "Ahhh! I found you! Come here, Little Fleshling." the Decepticon in front of me said, reaching down with his clawed hand. I turned around and ran the way I had come, only to be snatched before I could trip over that same tree. "Gotcha!" the purple and black Decepticon said, clasping me around my mid-section and then tossed me into the air as I screamed. I landed painfully on my rear in a seat. Then I felt belts sliding over my body to a medium sized clasp. I heard clicks from two belts being snapped into place. Then I felt acceleration when I realized I was in a jet.

I slowly came out of my shock to realize the ground was far from my height and I let out a pitiful yowl and tried to rock back and forth. My hands found themselves against my eyes. "Oh? Is the Fleshling afraid of flying?" A sickeningly sick voice asked. "Aww! I am so sorry. There was no other way to secure you."

I didn't answer and that only made me feel much more worse and I began to scream. "Oh please! Do not scream like that. I will then have to make you sleep all the way to our base."

I screamed and kicked my feet against a couple of pedals. "Why you little-"

::Skywarp? What is it? Fleshling not obeying?::

::No! She keeps kicking my pedals and screaming.::

::Then sedate her! She is useful to our wonderful esteemed-Leader.::

::Do you think he's going to kill her?::

::No. He has other plans.::

I had screamed myself hoarse and a needle appeared in front of me. I was so hoarse, that I couldn't even utter a word. I looked at the needle with large frightened eyes. "Oh! You stopped screaming! Good! I won't have to inject you."

I shook my head rapidly.

"Good. My name's Skywarp."

"Dani." I said hoarsely. "What do you want with me?" I asked in a small voice.

"Well, Dani. Our leader has a plan, but I don't know what it is. All we were ordered to do was wait for an opportunity to get you and that opportunity presented itself to us in every way possible. Apparently it worked." Skywarp said. "And here you are. Right in my cockpit."

I didn't like the sound of that and saw two jets on either side of us. "Oh! Those are my trine mates. Starscream and Thundercracker. Starscream's the second in command to the Decepticons. Thundercracker and I are under him."

I saw a red and white jet on the left and a gray and black jet on the right. "Thundercracker's on the left, Starscream on the right..."

I tuned him out as soon as I felt a feeling of vertigo and the nausea hit me. I swallowed thickly and leaned my head against the seat. I breathed differently and tried to keep my stomach calm. It only made me feel sicker when I closed my eyes. Without warning, I coughed and whatever I had eaten found it's way out and onto the floor of Skywarps' floor. "Ohh! You putrid Fleshling! Ack!" Skywarp shrieked. I held my hands over my ears.

"What is it?" a voice asked.

"The putrid Fleshling just decided to purge her tank all over my cockpit and it smells!" Skywarp complained.

"Just filter out the air and jettison the purged stuff."

"I should jettison the putrid fleshling and be rid of it! Disgusting fleshling!"

"Quit your complaining and do what Thundercracker says to do!"

I heard something happening to the floor and it fell away from my feet. I gasped and clenched my eyes closed. Cold air chilled me and just when I felt like I was going to freeze, the floor reappeared and warm air flowed through vents into the cockpit. The seat felt warm even and I hazarded a glance. I didn't feel sick nor did I feel that vertigo feeling. I wished I could move and lay on my side, but couldn't. I wanted to rock back and forth because that was the only way I knew how to calm down. My heart pounded in fear and I wished I was with Sunstreaker. I hoped Jazz was all right.

Wow! Skywarp deserved that, didn't he? Hmm. If I had a sense of vertigo, I'd do that, too. But lucky me, I haven't gotten it yet. Dani's been kidnapped by our famous Trine: Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker. Please Read and Review. You know you want to! Love to! Gotta have those delicious reviews. :) Thank you for reading. :)
