AN: Okay, I'm not sure what think since all I see reviews from "Guest". Is everyone stopped reading my stories? Anyhow here's the next Chapter. No, "Guest" I didn't mean to leave everyone in suspense, I just have been occupied with other things.
Let's Roll Out!
"Let me go!" Elena yelled up in air hold by mini-con who looked a lot like an eagle in blue colors. "Don't make me use the wind against you!" she said and tried to summon the strongest wind, but since she was captured by robotic eagle the strongest wind she could only cause turbulence and nothing serious.
"Stop doing that. I almost drop you." mini-con said.
"Then we start the landing," Elena said and transformed to her cybertronian form and by the weight, it was more like a crash landing. They almost hit the tree until Elena took hold of the mini-con moved to branch to lower ones until they were safely on the ground.
"I'm sorry I did that, but I have been kidnapped way more often," Elena said while placed the mini-con down while his mini-con friends came to them.
"We didn't mean to disrespect you, Star Supreme." said one of the mini-cons who's name is Buzzstrike.
"Weren't you one in the Omega one base with that crazy con?" Elena asked while noticing him.
"I say, they all are crazy." said one who's name is Tricerashot.
"Well, if you don't like them, why you are with them?" Elena asked.
"We are not. We dump them before we came to get the generator." Sawtooth explained.
"Good. Now I can kick their metal butts and ..." Elena said before looked on the mini-cons who looked so confused. "I'm sorry. I don't like when cons treat others, especially mini-cons like… you know what I mean"
"So, it is true. Your element is love, just like he said." Buzzstrike said.
"Who said?" Elena asked.
"Star Supreme, I believe it would best if you know our story." Eagle mini-con said.
"Yes, my Stars had mentioned they have seen some sights of your past by touching you. They, however, couldn't handle the pain it holds,"
"That's because they haven't experimented the horrors of war," Sawtooth said while looked down feeling bad on what happened to Star of water. The Stars seem to come to their Star Supreme, caring and willing to listen.
"Well, I became a Star during the war. I know its horrors." Elena said.
"Then you may see it through me," Eagle mini-con said.
"What is your name?" Elena asked.
"Aerobolt."
"Okay, Aerobolt. Let's see what happened to you." Elena said before placed her hand on his head and closed her optics. Soon her hands started to glow, meaning that she was already going through their past. By the look on her face, you could tell she tried holding back any chance to cry or scream. Then she turned bit calm, but then she looks bit surprised before she looked like she tried holding her anger before she let go.
"Oh, My head…" Elena said while holding her head.
"Are you alright?" Buzzstrike asked, while and few other mini-cons came close to help.
"Yeah. I'm just still new with this," she said, while mini-cons helped her to sit down to the nearest tree.
"It's okay. We understand." Aerobolt said. "We heard Stars stopped using this method in war because cortical psychic path"
"Well, just for you know, the war ended years ago," Elena said.
"Well, that didn't stop Starscream to get us," Tricerashot said.
"Starscream? Ah!" Elena asked before another wave of pain passed inside her head.
"You should rest, Star Supreme. We make sure no one will attack us." Aerobolt said before rest of mini-cons spread in the area to the lookout.
Elena knew there's point. She needs to calm down and wait till a headache stops until they could talk more. Hopefully, others are okay.
"And Starscream must have jamming gear because we can't find Jet's, Slip's, Bumblebee's or Fixit's energy signatures." Strongarm explained the situation to Optimus and Stars.
"Starscream. He is harder to eliminate than servo rust."
"But he sure is the most annoying con to us Stars," PeaceStar said.
"I wish I had been able to respond earlier to Bumblebee's call for assistance," Optimus said.
"You're here now, that's all that matters. And I relinquish command of this unit to a superior officer." Strongarm said.
"Enough talk! Every moment my students remain in Starscream's clutches could mean their lives!" Drift said.
"And nothin' better happen to them, girls or Fixit before I can really apologize!" Sideswipe said.
"I hope so too. No one hurts my little sisters and gets away with it." StrengthStar said.
"Little?" PeaceStar asked.
"Okay, Flame and Aqua older than me, but you know my point," StrengthStar said.
"The good news is, thanks to Fixit's training course, Russell and I know how to read the scanners! Pretty much." Denny said.
"We think Starscream had to be nearby to project that hologram of himself," Russell informed.
"Excellent work, Denny, and Russell," Optimus said. "Sideswipe, Strongarm, Grimlock, conduct your search to the north and east of the Scrapyard. Drift, scour the area to the south and west. I shall see what I can from the air. Stars, try your connections to locate others" he said before took off.
"Oh, I leave these first here," SweetStar said and left the big pack to command center.
"What's inside" asked Russell and tries to reach the pack.
"Talk later. No touchy" SweetStar said before she slaps hand away from the pack and then wents with PeaceStar and StrengthStar.
In Starscream's ship, YoungStar, AquaStar, FlameStar, GaiaStar, and AshStar started to wake up in cylinders when they were brought to the command center. To their shock they noticed Bumblebee chained.
"Bumblebee!" YoungStar yell.
"Why you…!" Flame said while tried to hit the cylinder with her fist on fire. but nothing.
"Nice try. But those cylinders were designed to handle your elements during the war." Starscream said to them.
It didn't take long before Bumblebee started to recover.
"Comfortable? Hm. I want to be sure you have a good seat from which to observe my ultimate triumph." Starscream said.
"Oh, is going back to your old body style supposed to make the difference this time?" Bumblebee asked before Insecticon kicked him.
"Leave him alone!" YoungStar shout.
"And I don't mind exterminate you, once I get out of here," Gaia said.
"Oh, no. After I disposed of the Predacons back at Darkmount, I simply thought it best to adopt a look as powerful as I was feeling." Starscream said.
"Well, I say good that you did, because otherwise, we can't take seriously," Gaia said. "After what elder sister told that she saw you doing victory..."
"NONONONONO!"
"DON'T MENTION IT!"
"You know, it shows up every time someone mentions it!"
Starscream growled on them. It appears that Supreme girl has made fun out of him to her Stars.
"How did you get rid of the Predacons? And what's so important about the scavengers' Mini-Cons?" Bumblebee asked.
"Glad you asked. I've been waiting to recount this thrilling tale. Allow me to set the scene." Starscream began.
"Raise your hand who believes he simply ran for his life and by accident activated the weapons, which by chance hit the Predacons." Flame said. In this, all Stars raised their hand. In fact, Bumblebee would have raised the hand too if he could.
Starscream growled again before continued his story.
"With the Predacons vanquished, I wondered what else I might find in Darkmount. Perhaps something with which to exact revenge upon my former master for his many crimes against me. In a lab, I found seven peculiar Mini-Cons, unlike any I'd ever seen, in experimentation tubes. Megatron's records said that the Mini-Cons had been captured in their youth, and genetically modified. These Mini-Cons could connect to Autobots and Decepticons, and provide a power surge to their new hosts. Further, they could take command of their hosts' motor functions. But Megatron had a theory, which he apparently never tested, that if all seven Mini-Cons were to Powerlink with a single host, that host would surge in power to a level beyond that of a Prime! With such power, I could destroy Megatron for all he did to me, and then succeed where he didn't, and claim the galaxy as my own! I freed the Mini-Cons, but they escaped. Clever little toasters."
"So you hired bounty hunters and tracked the Mini-Cons to Earth." Bumblebee got the conclusion.
"Ugh, how I hate this place. But on arriving here, I did find the Dark Star Saber."
Hearing the name made girls feel little hint nausea As Stars they could sense the power of dark energon and it's host. Luckily, as Dark Star saber and mostly, the resistance of Star Supreme, they can manage to handle it, but they wouldn't dare try their luck to touch it.
"Though it fights me. Apparently, it thinks I'm not totally worthy of it!" Starscream said.
"Shocking." Bumblebee said.
"But with you off the board and your teammates helpless without your leadership and Stars, I can resume my search for the Mini-Cons," Starscream said. "Prepare to Powerlink me with all seven Mini-Cons," he ordered the bounty hunters before went to control system. "Scanners activated. Now, where are you, my little doomsday devices?"
Bumblebee and Stars didn't like the sound of that. Now, they really hope those mini-cons are well hidden. And with luck, Elena will keep them away from Starscream.
Elena has so far rested in the forest. On that time she has returned to her human form. Apparently, it helped a lot to get rid of a headache quickly.
"Are you alright, Star Supreme?" Aerobolt asked.
"Yeah. There are good advantages been Human and Cybertronian." Elena said. "I'll be able to get up soon."
Right then Aerobolt looked up as in sensing something.
"What is it?" Elena asked.
"My friends came across something. I can sense when they are in danger" Aerobolt explained.
"Decepticons?"
"I'll go help them," Aerobolt said before flying to his friends.
Elena tried to get up which was less hurtfull now. She tried to follow Aerobolt by walking so a headache won't come back. Soon she heard fighting until she heard mini-cons talking.
"We do not wish to control any creature longer than is necessary, for..."
Then Elena felt hug shadow above her and follow it where they all were. It appears mini-con attacked Strongarm, Sideswipe, and Grimlock, but that was not all. The huge shadow was Optimus Prime. He managed to take Strongarm and Sideswipe off the Grimlock and remove weaponizer mini-cons from their hands, so they won't control them anymore.
"Regroup and attack!" Buzzstrike said.
"Wait! I recognize you. From my youth before we were captured by Megatron. You are Optimus Prime." Aerobolt said.
"Father!"
They all look who say it and find Elena running to Optimus while he knees down allowing her to hug him like father accepts an embrace from their child.
"Father?"
"A term here on Earth." heard a voice above them, before it reveals to be PeaceStar who landed.
"We mean you no harm," Optimus said.
"I'd like to do 'em a little harm."
"Sideswipe!" Elena scolds him.
"Hostilities between us are ended." Optimus cleared.
"I apologize for our aggression. Since we awoke, we have trusted no one." Aerobolt explained.
"I still don't trust anyone."
"But yet you knew to trust Star Supreme," PeaceStar noted.
"To be honest, we had our doubts. Since there hasn't been Star Supreme since Golden age, not to mention FallStar." Buzzstrike explained.
"Even if we heard Starscream mentioning that Star Supreme was chosen by an element of love, we thought it was a trap to lead us there," Tricerashot said.
"That was until we meet her here along with her Stars. Seeing that, we thought she could help us. So, we hope to speak to her." Sawtooth explained.
"and you kidnapped her."
"They weren't sure to trust you, Strongarm," Elena explained. "And they probably didn't expect me to be there, so they needed to act fast."
"I know you are being pursued by Starscream, but little else. Tell me your story." Optimus suggested.
Aerobolt told their sad story, while StrengthStar and SweetStar came with Drift. How they were captured during the war and experimented until Starscream freed them. To his misfortune, they did recognize him as Megatron's commander and run away.
"We escaped Starscream at Darkmount, we enlisted with the Decepticon scavengers as a means of getting off Cybertron."
"If we'd known they were heading for Earth, the second most-frequented planet for Cybetronians, we never would've come," Tricerashot admitted.
"Immediately on arriving, we began trying to convince our hosts to leave, even as we searched for a way to escape the scavengers and strike out on our own," Aerobolt explained.
"We stole their sub-orbital transport, but it ran out of fuel," Sawtooth noted.
"That's when we found you. And you bot-jacked us!" Grimlock said.
"About that. When you took us over, I could tell you gave me a surge, but it also felt like, I don't know, there could have been more power. Like you were holding back." Strongarm said.
"This is true. Unless the surge is mutually agreed upon, and totally committed to by both sides, full power is not shared." Aerobolt explained. Before looked at Optimus. "Surely there is no Autobot more worthy of sharing our energies than you, Optimus Prime. Will you accept the surge I can provide?"
Optimus thought while.
"I am not certain." he said.
"It will only work if you trust me," Aerobolt suggested.
"Very well, let us try," Optimus said.
In this, Aerobolt flew up and transformed before he goes on Optimus. The power surge was about to happen before Optimus started to groan and both separated.
"Father! Aerobolt!" Elena shout.
Elena went help Optimus while mini-cons went to help Aerobolt.
"I apologize, Aerobolt," Optimus said.
"It is understandable. Trust must be proven, not merely spoken."
"Perhaps we should avoid surge pairings between Autobots and Mini-Cons for the time being," Optimus suggested.
"Good! We can focus on more important things, Like finding the Mini-Cons!" Sideswipe said.
"Wait. What?" Elena asked.
"Yes! We must delay no further!"
"They are correct. We must locate our friends. Once that is accomplished, we will help you find a home. Where you will never be bothered again." Optimus suggested.
"We appreciate your assistance," Aerobolt said.
"Until then, please stay with us so we may protect you, should Starscream attack," Optimus said.
"We can protect ourselves, Optimus," Buzzstrike said.
"I meant no disrespect. We shall protect each other." Optimus said before they started to move forward.
"I don't feel right about this," Tricerashot said.
"You never feel right," Sawtooth said.
"And I'm usually correct!" Tricerashot mumbled.
While team kept going on to find Bumblebee, JetStorm, Slipstream, and Fixit. It was hard to say what was going on in Elena's mind. First, she was shocked that their mini-cons and her Stars were captured, but then she was angry when she heard it was Starscream and that he demanded Bumblebee to surrender and didn't return the mini-cons. During the walk she was already thinking should she punch his face or make him scream high pitch. Weaponizer mini-cons were a bit of surprise to see that Star Supreme has a quiet temper on bad guys until PeaceStar explained that Elena doesn't like any mistreatment and she has faced Starscream during the war, so she already knows how he is.
But while they were walking Elena asked from Peace, Strength, and Sweet why they came to Earth.
"We also figure out what happened front of the council." PeaceStar.
"You did?" Elena asked.
"Yeah. Luckily, girls didn't hide that fact in Star connection, about what Ratchet told them. I even tried to think how to tell the council that Stars are officially off from court." Strength said.
"Well?"
"He did it professionally until they demanded to know why that when he blows the whole truth to them." PeaceStar
"Yeah. I bet they have reporters going on to them nonstop to ask why we left." Strength said.
"What about Jazz?"
"He understands what was going with us. He sends 'Hi'" PeaceStar.
"What about...Sweet, what are you doing?" Elena asked while noticed her Star of ice playing with snow globe shaking it to let the snow fall inside the globe.
"Nothing" Sweet said showing the cutest face ever.
"Nice try. I know your tricks already." Elena said and picked the snow globe. "Isn't this..."
"The snow globe, which you used to seal Blizzartail in Arctic when you were chosen as Star Supreme, yeah it is the same." Strength said.
"Isn't this suppose to be in Cybertron's historic museum with other items?"
"Was, until all the eight items started to act weird."
"What?"
"Guards and curators started to hear noise in that area until they spot, plants growing, fire on the loose, puddles of water everywhere and electric shut downs," PeaceStar explains.
"So, they gave it to us, before there could be any more accidents like hurricanes or icy floors." Strength explained. "On that time, we discovered the council issue."
"So, you brought all them here?"
"Well, we left some of them in Scrapyard, we got only ones from our own elements." Strength said.
"And this one, if the reach will take longer," Sweet said and showed the lantern, which said to hold the flame of Predaking.
"I look after that, okay." Elena before picked the lantern and returned the snow globe back to Sweet and who started to shake it again happily.
Soon, Optimus stopped everyone and signed everyone to remain quiet. Someone was coming. And soon they notice who. It was the Decepticon Scavengers. They obviously were annoyed not just that mini-con took their ship if not get beaten by Starscream and needed to the mothership to pick them.
"Once we find the sub-orbital craft, those half-size tin cans stole from us..." Scavenger named Clawtrap said before he and his team noticed Autobots with mini-cons. "I guess the universe was listening. We want the Mini-Cons. We'll take them by force if we have to."
"Are they dump by not noticing they have to face Optimus Prime and Star Supreme or are they just too dump to try?" Strength asked.
"I guess both, which they're going to reget," Elena growled.
"You four? Against all of us? This'll take two seconds." Sideswipe said.
Right, then Scavengers picked the weapon they had.
"Please tell those are..." Elena asked.
"No, not from Earth. That one was lastly seen in Sector 'Apollo' 8. And that one on Sector Solar 5. I take they took that long before they came here." Strength confirmed.
"Even with weapons, you cannot..." Drift said before one of them activated one weapon that hit only the boulder behind them and destroyed it.
"Looks like these relic hunters hunted up some decent relics," Strongarm noted.
"Do not take them lightly. These Decepticons may not even know what their artifacts can do." Optimus warned. It was true, they obviously didn't know what they do, which caused Optimus get stuck bu pressure force field until Sideswipe broke it. But Scavengers soon learned to use them as they want to.
"This might take a little more than two seconds," Sideswipe admitted before Autobots charge to handle Scavengers.
"Elena, stay with mini-cons," StrengthStar said.
"Hey! I..."
"If something happens, you will be only one able to protect them. They trust you." PeaceStar remind.
"Besides, we also are ready to fight," Sweet said before all three activated their watch, which they got from Optimus and transformed to their guardian outfits.
PeaceStar had pastel blue/yellow/pink suit and gloves with white skirt cloud sleeves and pink ballet shoes. StrengthStar had green gold armor. And SweetStar had a simple light blue dress with transparent white sleeves and white plush lines. Also pink boots and gloves
Stars helped to distract cons before Autobots manage to strike or remove weapons from their hands. Sometimes they needed to hold cons back when Autobots were down.
"Aerobolt, what should we do?" Sawtooth asked.
"Perhaps we should attach to the Autobots, provide them with power surges," Aerobolt suggested.
"No! We do not know the full extent of the effects of such pairings." Optimus remind them.
"I will not stand by while others fight for us!" Sawtooth said before went Strongarm and allowed her to use his weapon form. To her surprise, he didn't control her anymore. So, he asked if she will accept the surge. Knowing her, she is Autobot guard of Star of water, who was more concern of him when the volcano was about blow. Sensing how he felt, Strongarm accepts it and they managed to defeat most of the Scavengers.
"Optimus!" Sawtooth noticed after he and Strongarm saved Sideswipe. Optimus was about to face Thermidor, while he tried to protect Elena and mini-cons. Strongarm knew she was too far, so she throws Sawtooth, so he could strike by himself. He did manage to make Thermidor drop the weapon he was going to use, but in this, he punched Sawtooth hard.
"Sawtooth!" Aerobolt shout, while he and mini-con went to help him.
"Aerobolt! Do not separate from us." Optimus yelled and tried to go after just like rest of them.
"Never had a chance to figure out what this one does," Clawtrap said before tried other weapon, which shot some kind of web which captured all Autobots, including Peace, Strength, and Sweet. Elena managed to get to the mini-cons. "Feedback web. Nice." Clawtrap said before he and his team-mates surround the mini-con. "Time for payback, Mini-Cons."
"That DOES IT!" Elena yelled in loud Star supreme voice like she once did in Omega one post, however, this times the wind blew on trees warning something was up. "You Scavengers had tried my patience!" she said, while her watch started to glow, in which the light inside the lantern was shining brightly. Once she activated it, there was huge light and they all heard a loud roar. Only Stars and Optimus knew that sound belonged to Predaking. It was like the fury of Star Supreme has woken the powers in the lantern. Right then, the items Peace, Strength, and Sweet had started to respond on that roar. Once the light fade off Elena stood there with a new outfit.
She had white top and shorts on which she had denim skirt which had like ocean waves. She had a silver band on her wrists, arms, one of her tights and neck. Form under them was pink fabric lines. She also holds her heart staff.
"Oh what you're gonna do? Hit our legs?" Clawtrap mocked. Right then Elena's heart staff turned into a whip and by looking at it, it wasn't ordinary whip. By the sparks that flow from it, tell that it could shock anybody, even a real Predacon.
"Come try now, you cruel pirates!" Elena warned having whip ready to protect mini-cons.
"I'm afraid not." Heard familiar voice loud in the air. Right then they all looked up and noticed ship above them.
Right then, there was attraction beam that started to pull mini-con to the ship and Elena with them.
"Elena!" Peace, Strength and Sweet shout.
Once all the mini-cons were inside the ship with Elena, ship started to leave.
Inside, Stracream looked at Bumblebee and Stars.
"Time to take me seriously, Bumblebee. The Mini-Cons, and all their power, are mine. Finally. Finally I've won!"
REVIEWS, PLSS ^^
AN: Okay, done. Only one more chap before new story. I might continue on others meanwhile. Thank you for your patience.
