Not much to say but:
Thank you avatoa and the anonymous Kerra Quigley for your reviews! Here's the third chapter to Cardcaptor Sari! Just a note, this fanfic will be a little different from the original CCS. First being that Sari will not be wearing costumes, I know that in the original Sakura's friend (Tomoyo) would make a wardrobe-full of stylish clothing. But put that on Sari and it would feel a little out of her character. However, I'll still find ways to incorporate the original CCS with the TFA universe.
Anyways please review, critiques are welcomed, and enjoy!
Disclaimer (again I forgot this!): I don't own TFA and/or CCS

Midnight Robbery
Somewhere in the forest at the outskirts of Detroit, deep with the bowels of the earth, there the Decepticons resided. Their lair was once a mine, bustling with activity to harvest precious metals and resources. Eventually these materials were depleted, the mine abandoned, dusty tools and cavernous halls are what remain. To a human the caves were colossal. To the flying Decepticons they were perfect. Large and spacious, the caves were big enough to allow them to fly through without scratching on the cavern walls. The miners and their machines had erased all the natural rock formations, leaving behind jagged, but smooth cliffs.

Megatron choose this location after their confrontation with the Autobots. The thick layer of carbon deposits cloaked them from any Autobot sensors. Blitzwing especially loved their new lair as he walked down a winding tunnel, his clanging metal feet echoed through the subterranean world. The temperature down here was always kept cool, away from the blazing sun and no matter what season it was. His Icy personality loved the cold, but the same couldn't be said for Hothead. Ever since they were holed up here to recover from their defeat, Hothead had been grumbling about the low temperature and wished to break free from the mines. It seems this time his wish would be granted. His leader summons him, no doubt something important.

Blitzwing continued to walk till the tunnel ended at a gigantic hollow as large as a football stadium. Like much of their newly settled lair, faint purple lights illuminated the caves, a tribute to all things Decepticon. Set up on the stone cliffs were a few Decepticon insignia, their 'eye sockets' glowed an eerie violet. Only the monitors of their makeshift computers and the prison that held Professor Isaac Sumdac were the only things that did not emit the Decepticon color

Seeing that Megatron was not around, the triple-changer waited patiently. Back straight, hands behind his back, he had to look presentable and disciplined in front of his leader (even if he was a few nanoclicks late). From one of the tunnels Blitzwing could hear Lugnut's deep, ringing metallic voice cursing the Autobots for humiliating him in front of 'their wise and glorious leader' before his voice was silenced with a grunt of pain. The Decepticon lieutenant pinched the bridge of his nose. If the five-optic bot continued to overexert himself during one of his rants he would have to restrain him.

Of all the times he was with Lugnut during the Great War, he found the giant brute to be a great partner (sometimes). Lugnut would often be on the frontline while Blitzwing fired his ice beams, encasing unfortunate Autobots in a freezing tomb for the big bot to finish off. And when they found themselves outnumber, Lugnut would bring out (as Blitzwing nicknamed) 'Zhe Punch'. But sometimes he wondered whether the loyal Decepticon would think about himself once in awhile to save his aft from danger.

His train of thoughts was soon interrupted when he heard the clanging of metal on stone from another tunnel. From the tunnel's shadow and into the dim light came Megatron. Blitzwing kneeled down to his leader as he made his way to his throne.

"You have summon me, mein liege?" the triple-changer respectfully addressed him.

Megatron did not reply immediately as he sat down. Even through the dimness, Blitzwing could see that Megatron was still gravely injured. There were cracks and dents that still scarred his frame and he noticed that his leader limped a little when he walked. But the Decepticon leader showed no signs of discomfort, wanting to uphold the image of a strong leader in the eyes of his soldiers. Blitzwing has held Megatron's show of willpower with great respect. Even in tight situations their leader always kept his dispassionate nature (as to not let emotions cloud his judgment) and even motivate his fellow Decepticons with his 'righteous fury' in the heat of battle. Blitzwing diverted his attention back to his leader, seeing that he was about to speak.

"Blitzwing, I have detected two abnormal spikes of energy from the Earth city of Detroit today. Since you are the only one who has not been severely damaged, I want you to scout the sources of these energies and report back your findings. I am merely sending you on a research mission and do not plan for you to engage the Autobots, should you encounter them," said Megatron.

"But zir, even if I avoid direct contact vith zhe Autobots, zhey can detect our energy signatures,"

"That is why I find this the most opportune time to test our new signal dampeners. Wouldn't you agree, Professor?" Megatron turned his head to look at the cowering Professor.

"Y-yes, but it is only a prototype so far," stammered Isaac.

"No matter, a few field test is what it needs," as the Decepticon stood up and walked towards the human.

He pressed a large blue button and deactivated the energy field that imprisoned the engineer. Isaac Sumdac handed a small block of metal to Megatron's outstretched servo before being locked up once more. Megatron advanced towards the still kneeling Blitzwing.

"Rise, Blitzwing,"

He complied and was handed the signal dampener. He placed it on his chassis, right above his Decepticon emblem.

"Remember, do not engage the Autobots. Should the dampeners not work, return back at once. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, Megatron,"

"Good, you are free to go," walking off back to his private quarters. Blitzwing returned back to his quarters to pack a few cubes of energon before walking towards Lugnut's quarters to tell him the news.

"Megatron should have chosen me for this mission!" shouted Lugnut, pounded one of his servos on his berth. He gave off another grunt of pain. "Curse these injuries; I am useless to our leader's cause,"

"Und jou vill continue tu be useless till jou allow jourself tu repair. I vill be gone for some time, so don't do anything reckless," Blitzwing walked away towards the mine entrance.

As he stepped out of the gloom, it took him a moment for his optics to adjust to the shift in light. On the spot, Blitzing transformed into a fighter jet and blasted through the sky towards Detroit.

Back at the Autobot base, Sari gracefully landed on her feet. The wings of her staff shrank back to their usual forms as Fly's card returned to her hands. She placed the card inside her pocket and walked inside, just in time as she heard the sound of five approaching vehicles. Kero heard it as well as he dived into Sari's backpack. Sari rushed to clean up as much as she could of the mess Fly made and pretended to be busy. She heard the whirring of their transformation; it wouldn't be long for them to discover that their base was messier than they had left it.

Their approaching footsteps announced their presence before ending abruptly. Sari turned around to see her friends staring in shock. The trash that was once piled into the trash bins had scattered all over the floor again. Various tables were over turned and dust layered every inch of the area.

"Hi guys," Sari greeted a huge innocent smile plastered on her face. A ceiling lamp chooses that time to fall, the light bulb shattered and the metal rattled as it landed.

"Um… Sari. I'm a little confused, isn't the purpose of Spring Cleaning to clean ones home?" asked Optimus.

Before Sari could answer she was interrupted by a scream from Bumblebee. The young bot rushed over to the downed TV and reached underneath it. He finally pulled out his unscratched game console and let out an imitated sigh of relief. Prowl chose that time to butt in, the mess inside their base was almost identical to something they encountered.

"Sari, this might sound like a strange question, but did a giant bird get inside?" the girl decided it was a good time to tell a (small) white lie.

"Yea, was it the same bird you guys were fighting?!" Sari was such a great liar (and actor), putting up false excitement.

"What!" shouted the surprised Autobots. "Did it hurt you? How'd you manage to hide from it? Are you sure you're alright?" the questions came out in jumbles.

"Whoa, whoa! Slow down guys. First off I'm fine; the bird didn't do much to me, just flapped its wings and knocked everything down. Second, there's a whole load of stuff to hide in so I just hid till it left," as she tried to calmed down her overly protective friends.

"Well at least your safe and know how to keep yourself out of danger," said Optimus.

"I sometimes think trouble finds me. But even if that bird found me I would have given it a few tastes of cyber-ninja moves. Hi-ya!" as Sari demonstrated an upper kick; losing her balance she fell on her bottom.

"Ow…" rubbing her sore spot before being assisted on her feet. "I think we can still get this place ship-shaped without having to do much work,"

The Autobots and Sari did a quick sweep through the base, disposing and organizing their things. Though it wasn't a thorough clean-up job and dust still powdered the place, it still looked good as new. All six of them finally relaxed after a long, busy day. Bumblebee retold Sari about the battle they had with three adversaries, with a bit of exaggeration on his part. While Sari already knew about their fight with Fly, she remained silent with awe.

By the time Bumblebee finished, it was seven in the afternoon. Sari had to go back home to eat dinner. Bumblebee offered to 'drive' Sari back. Luckily the traffic was flowing smoothly and they manage to arrive at Sumdac Towers in ten minutes. Sari waved farewell to her yellow friend as drove away, still in his alt mode Bumblebee waved back in return before turning at an intersection. Sari proceeded back to the tower till she felt something straining in her backpack. She set in down and unzipped it opened. Out popped Kero, gasping for breath, face flushed and covered in perspiration.

"Gah! I thought I was going to pass out!" exclaimed Kero.

"Sorry about that, Kero. Should have said something," Sari apologized.

"And reveal myself? No way. I may be a magical creature, but I need to breathe air like any living thing," said Kero.

"We'll that excludes my friends,"

"About that… you never told me they were ten foot high robots!" the guardian shouted.

"Oops?" Sari gave Kero a mocking smile. "But never mind about that, I'll tell you about it after dinner. I think the chef-bot made some black forest cake,"

"Cake?! Well why didn't you say so!" the sugar-loving guardian flutter off with Sari following.

They entered; the receptionist-bot greeted them in its usual drawling voice. Taking the elevator the two arrived at the residential floor of the tower. Giving a quick tour around the place, Sari threw her backpack on her bed and made her way towards the dining room.

"Big place you live in," Kero commented, Sari took the compliment with silence.

Seating themselves, chef-bot presented the evening's menu. Tomato soup for an appetizer followed by a plate of shell noodles with alfredo sauce. Kero took a small spoon and sipped the thick, red soup. He stopped in the middle of his second spoonful, looking at Sari with concern. The girl had not started on her meal, as if waiting for someone.

"Sari, are you alright?" Sari blinked, as if snapped out of a trance.

"Huh?" Sari looked around before remembering that her dad was not home. "Oh, it's nothing," she picked up the large soupspoon and began her meal.

She had forgotten, how stupid of her. She drank the soup in silence, if wasn't as tasty as she remembered almost tasteless. She moved on to the main course, but only managed to finish half of it. The dining room seemed awfully large, she felt intimidated. And the silence, it was smothering. Sari missed the conversations she had with her dad.

They would always share each other's day with one another, her dad would tell her about new projects he planned to do and Sari would tell him what she learned from Tutor-Bot or (when she didn't have classes) tell him about her day in the city. Even when her dad insisted he wasn't hungry (or thirsty) because of work, they would always eat together. Why did she take everything in her life for granted?

Dessert was finally served; unlike the previous two servings Kero ate this with gusto. Helping himself to a slice, the guardian stuffed forkful after forkful. Sari was amazed at the Kero's apparent bottomless stomach.

"Don't you ever get full?" asked Sari.

"Nope, heck I don't even need to eat at all? Kero replied with a mouthful of cake.

"What? How? And why do you eat anyways?"

"Well when Clow Reed created me, he based me on the sun. Likewise, I draw my powers from it and like it I generate my own energy. So really I don't need to eat to survive," Kero explained.

Sari muttered something about being gluttonous and overeating but Kero didn't hear. After they were satisfied, they left to go back to Sari's room. Taking a quick shower and changing into her clothes for the next day (she found it more convenient to sleep in her everyday clothes than changing into her sleepwear); Sari and Kero sat themselves on the bed.

"So tell me how'd you get acquainted with your 'unique' friends?" asked Kero.

"Well it all started off fifty years ago…" and Sari retold from the beginning of how the Autobots came from another planet named Cybertron.

They were a team of maintenance bots who were repairing a space bridge till the AllSpark found them, followed by Megatron and his lieutenants. They fought against the Decepticon leader till they were warped and crash landed on Earth. For fifty years they were put into stasis, while Megatron was discovered by her dad and reversed engineered to boost Earth's robotic technology. She replayed back to how she met with Bulkhead and Bumblebee first, followed by the others.

"It really shocked me that a pair of cars was talking to me and I screamed. They must have never heard a scream before them since it seemed to scare them. I ran off only to be caught by that giant bug. Seeing that I was in danger they revealed their true forms. It was so cool! After they fought it off I managed to go with Bumblebee into their ship. Inside I found the AllSpark, we had a 'conversation' and it shot this beam towards my key card and changed it to what I have now," she pointed towards her large key.

"Optimus soon found me and then Ratchet called about a problem with Prowl. They led me to their med-bay and when I got close, my key started to glow and pull me towards Prowl. I pushed the key into him and the next we knew he was all better. We went back to the surface and after introducing them to everyone; well that's what it's like now. We've been doing sorts of cool things, with me teaching them about 'Earth customs'," and there Sari finished her story.

Kero, who had been listening attentively, looked at Sari in awe.

"So this Megatron is trying to find this AllSpark and you guys have it?"

"Well not anymore, we fought against Megatron and his lackeys recently. Optimus managed to shatter the AllSpark so now the fragments are scattered everywhere,"

"I think its better that way. That Megatron sounds like one scary person,"

"I heard all the Decepticons were like that," Sari looked at her digital clock that was placed on the nightstand by her bed.

They had been talking for an hour since dinner. She let out a yawn.
"It's getting late, I've got things to do tomorrow," she lifted the blankets over herself and turned out the lights. "Night, Kero,"

"Good night," said Kero as he curled himself on the bed.

As Sari and Kero dozed, a beige fighter jet with purple wings flew high above the city. Blitzwing descended onto a building and transformed back into his original form. Ruby red optics scanned the area for any humans (or Autobots) that might have spotted him. Seeing no one, Blitzwing checked his scanner for any 'abnormal spikes of energy'. Seeing none, he growled in frustration. With a whirr his face spun in a blur of blue, red and black before stopping on the red, heavy face of Hothead.

"Zhis is nothing but a vild-goose chase!" Hothead shouted, with another whirr Random appeared with his jack-o-lantern-like face and deranged grin.

"Maybe Megatron vas tripping on somezing? Ah-hahahaha!!!" Random cackled, his face spun again and landed on Icy's blue, slim face.

"Quiet both of jou," Icy snapped. "Ve shouldn't doubt Megatron's vords,"

As the words left him, a harsh beeping noise brought him back to his scanner. A high amount of energy was being released, right in front of him! Blitzwing looked up and saw a dark building (obviously closed for the night). In the display windows were various gadgets and miniature models of humans. Blitzwing instantly recognized it as a toy store, a place where human Sparklings and Younglings bought forms of entertainment.

His optics widen in surprise as a bright light filtered through the windows before fading away. Looking closer, Blitzwing could see movement inside, whatever made the light seemed to be collecting items from the shop's shelves. The sound of breaking glass, followed by the whooping of a burglar alarm shattered the silence as a small figure bounced away from the shop followed by a long trail of plushy dolls.

"Zhis is becoming more and more interesting," as he watched the retreating figure and flew off after it.

Dun dun da da daduuun dun dun!
Leave it to Kero!
"Hey-hey-hoo! Have you guys been doing well? Once again it's time for Leave it to Kero! All right, let's get this started!" the background switches to a familiar yellow bot.

"Though I've never met him; today's Leave it to Kero is on Bumblebee! Besides being the youngest of the Autobot team; he is the most energetic of the lot. The color of his armor reflects that personality and goes very well with his black… erm… I believe that's his body. Slim and sleek is what you can describe him, he obviously must be the fastest of all five of them."

The picture switches to Bumblebee's alt mode.
"What he makes up for size is his swiftness,"

Once again Kero shoves his face into the camera.
"And now for the popular, Kero's Check!"

The picture changes to a close-up of Bumblebee's horns.
"Though minuscule; they have a lot to say. I believe it goes along the lines of 'Hey, I may be small but I do pack quite a sting!'"

Once again Kero seats himself on the ornate chair, pipe and bow included.
"Oh, it's already time to go. Well I hope you enjoyed this time's Leave it to Kero. Be prepared for more next time! See ya!" as Kero waves farewell.

End of chapter three!
Can't believe it? Well it's true, the Decepticon (well just Blitzwing) seem to have stumbled upon Sari's secret! What will happen? Wait till the next chapter!
Please don't forget to review!
