I DO NOT OWN TRANSFORMERS

Lumina grew to like her autobot friends and settled in well. Sari would show her around the city and tell Lumina all about humans.

"Really? I had know idea that this hockey sport could be so dangerous! So why do you humans play the game then?" Lumina asked.

"Cause it's fun."

Lumina became even more confused, "It's fun... to get hurt?" she asked. Sari laughed and kept skipping down the street. As they crossed the street, a car sped by at an alarming rate.

"Sari, look out!" Lumina exclaimed, springing forward and blocking the vehicle's path.

The car spun out of control and crashed into the side of a building. The driver climbed out through the window and cried out in rage.

"Hey! Why don't you watch where you're going, ya walking trashcan!" the driver shouted.

Lumina turned torwards the person, her looming presence immediately draining the courage out of the human.

"Excuse me, but I believe you were the one speeding in a pedestrian area," Lumina pointed out.

The driver opened his mouth in frustration and closed it.

"That's what I thought," Lumina said.

Bumblebee had been driving to Sumdac Systems to pick up Sari when he came across the whole wreck situation and Lumina. He transformed into robot mode and went closer to get some details.

"And he was speeding?" Fanzone asked.

Lumina nodded and kept on about the whole situation while Captain Fanzone wrote it down on a notepad.

"Thanks," he said and went to file the report.

"Are you two okay?" Bumblebee asked.

Sari said yes in her usual cheerful tone. The police drove away, leaving the autobots alone. Lumina watched as Bumblebee and Sari took off to go see a Detroit Redwings game. She decided to head for the nearby park for some alone time. There were a few people at the park and most were just leaving. When she reached a more secluded part, Lumina sat down and reminisced about the past.

"It's my entire fault. I should have done something," Lumina thought. "Megatron will pay for what he's done!"

The sound of a truck pulling up roused her from the dream stasis nap she'd been.

"Hurry it up you load of scrap metal!" a person with a thick German accent commanded.

"How dare you speak to me like that! If Lord Megatron were here he would teach you a thing or two about respect," someone else answered

. "Lord Megatron?! They must know where he is! I've got to find out!"

Lumina crept up behind the decepticons, Blitzwing and Lugnut. They were lugging a load of supplies up the steep hill and occasionally would stop to rest.

"Come on! We gotta get these to Megatron or he'll have our motherboards if we fail!" Blitzwing declared.

Lugnut turned back to keep pushing, but halted as Lumina stepped out of the bushes.
"You two seem in an awful hurry," she stated coolly.

"Mind answering a few questions for me?" Blitzwing's face switched to reveal his intellectual side. "And who might you be Miss Bot?" he asked.

"You could say I'm an old 'acquaintance' of Megatron. Speaking of him, I have some unfinished business that I would like to settle, so where is he?"

Blitzwing was about to answer, but the sound of blaring sirens ceased him from doing so, "Who might that be?"

Optimus, Prowl, Bulkhead, and Ratchet raced towards the decepticons and transformed into their robot modes, prepared for a fight.

"Lumina get back!" Optimus ordered. "They're highly dangerous and not to be taken lightly!"

He brandished his axe and went on the defensive. Lumina drew back away from Blitzwing and Lugnut, not wishing to reveal the purpose behind her conversation. Lugnut fired missiles at the autobots and rushed headlong into the smoke. Blitzwing followed suit. Lumina transformed into wolf mode and warned the other autobots that she was about to unleash her special ability, a sonic howl. The attack sends out a high-pitched frequency that is designed to scramble the circuitry of any nearby machines. Optimus and the others covered their sound receptors as Lumina launched into the howl.

"Ah!! What is that horrid sound?!" Blitzwing wailed. The decepticons flew off towards who-knows-where.

While Optimus checked on the others, Lumina stared off into the distance.

"Slag! Now I'll never know where Megatron is! "She clenched her fist so tight that sparks flared up. "Why am I such a failure?! (Sigh)... will I ever be forgiven or will I have to live on suffering?"

Lumina felt a hand on her shoulder and she looked up into the caring face of Optimus. She turned her back to the sunset and went back to the warehouse with the others.
