Last time on Stranded…
Jake took this time and attacked the Metal monster attacking his home and latched on to a wire inside the monsters hands with his sharp teeth.
The monster growled and flicked Jake off with a flick of it's wrist.
Jennifer turned around just in time to watch the Decepticon aimed at Jake with one of his cannons.
"Jake No!" She shouted.
Jennifer raced towards the building just as the robot fired a bright blue/white light. Vaporized not only her dog, but what was left of her house as well.
Jen was thrown back with the force of the blast into a large oak.
Stars flashed before her eyes as her head slammed in to the trunk Jen fought to stay awake as the robot advanced towards her.
The last thing she saw was a black metal hand reaching for her.

Present….
Swindle walked threw the flames of the human dwelling as the femme crumbled to the ground.
He reached down and picked the organic up running a quick scan to make sure it was still online before tossing it in to the air and transformed securing her inside his cab.
Swindle drove off as fire and police Sirens filled the air.
A few hours and over 200 miles later, Swindle stood watching as the small shuttle landed, he held the off-line human femme in his right hand as he walked on board.
The organics planet had rotated away from its sun giving him plenty of cover for take off.
The Decepticon prepped for launch as the bay door sealed its self with a sharp hiss.
He turned from the computer and pulled a small sphere from subspace and placed the femme inside.
Swindle then set it on a small self and activated a polar magnetic field.
The sphere was enveloped in a soft blue haze as it levitated off the table surface.
He sat down and navigated the ship out of the planets atmosphere and in to the void of space.
Setting the coordinates for Cybertron and placing the shuttle on autopilot, the Mech sat back and looked over the files he had down loaded from the Strange planet's information network.
"Perhaps we could use it as a out-post… The mud ball has plenty of Energon sources." He thought.
After he got tired of looking at the information he leaned back to slip into recharge satisfied with his mission accomplishment.
After extracting the energy source form the organic he could perhaps make a prophet of it by selling it to a exotic trader.
A pleased smirk slipped across his face as he went in to recharge.

Three megacycles later Swindle came out of recharge with a chirp from the main computer.
"Unidentified energy signature detected." Came the feminine computerized voice.
" What is the energy source's location." Swindle inquired.
"Main bridge, starboard side." The computer replied.
Swindle's optics narrowed as he turned to the right only to widen them at the sight in front of him.
The Sphere that held the femme was glowing brightly.
The light was emanating from the organic its self.
"Spacial anomaly detected. Coordinates: AR97685351. Distance: 43 klicks and closing." Came the computerized voice.
Swindle spun around and tapped at the keys on the consul until the view screen came online.
Right in front of the ship, space its self rippled and churned, behind him a light flashed casting his shadow on the view screen.
Swindle turned around, he had to bring his arm up to protect his optics from the light from the sphere as it pulsed brighter and brighter.
"Entering Trans-dimensional portal." The computer informed just before the shuttle lurched sending Swindle flying back in to the wall.
"Computer reverse thrusters! Maximum power!" Swindle shouted as he got to his feet.
He had to grab a hold of the computer consul to keep his footing as the shuttle shook with the force of the thrusters trying to pull it out of the swirling pitch black portal.
"Hull integrity 52 percent and falling." The computer informed.
Swindle rolled his optics upward. "Just what I need... more bad news…"
The yellow Mech nearly lept out of his armor as a scream filled the command center.
He turned towards the sound as another pulse of light blinded and off-lined his optical sensors.
"Emergancy Stasis lock initiated." Was the last thing Swindle heard before falling into stasis lock.

Jen came to as a rush of energy filled her, with each heart beat it became stronger and stronger till it felt like she was being ripped in half.
Just as it felt like she couldn't take anymore she let out a scream as a bright light erupted from her person filling the shuttle with light like that of a star going nova.
All systems in the shuttle went off-line as it was enveloped into the portal.
It seemed the ship was going to be torn apart as it passed threw.
Jen floated silently in the sphere as the systems on the shuttle came back online.
Thoughts ran rampant threw the young woman's mind as she slipped in and out of consciousness.
Jake was dead, her home destroyed, and now she was kidnapped by a Giant Robot and taken her to only God knows where.
She was floating weightless in a large glass like sphere, her limbs felt like lead.
It was like some one had stopped time it's self, sound was strange and distorted like trying to listen to someone talking underwater.
There where no words that could be deciphered, only chirps, clicks, and whistles like a computer.
A Large shadow loomed over her as two bright red lights stared down at her from a shadowed face.
The air around her seemed to vibrate as her strength seemed to be sapped from her body until she slipped back into unconsciousness.

Swindle came back online a few mega-cycles later.
Every thing seemed in place, system's reported every thing was operating within normal levels.
Picking him self up off the floor he turned to the computer.
"What is our current location?"
"Designated coordinates GR8374568." The computer replied.
Swindle nodded slightly then turned towards now dim crystal.
The femme's optic/eyes where half hooded as she stared unseeing up at him. The strands of protein from her helm floated around her still form, like golden wings as he punched in the harmonic array.
The array was made to lock on to a frequency and send any being in to Recharge.
With Transformers it Locked on their individual spark signature with some organics it locked on to their brain waves.
He had traded high Grade Energon for the device from an alien species traveling to another galaxy.
Ultra Magnus was still sore form that little episode.
He watched as she went back in to stasis, a smirk formed on his face plates.
Yes he would indeed make quit a profit off this little organic.
He was snapped from his thoughts as a chirp issued from the computer.
"Warning, Autobot vessel approaching from sector 348C."
Swindle revved his engine loudly as he tapped at the keys on the consul, the screen flickered to life showing the massive ship heading his way.
Crimson optics narrowed. "Magnus" he hissed.
He sat down and punched commands in to the computer. The shuttle was to damaged to Engage but if he could just out run it…
"Reroute all available bower to shields and engines"
The small ship took off as the larger vessel approached.
Autobot ship
"Prowl, scans have just picked up a spacial anomaly that has opened directly in front of us. Reports show a ship coming out of a Trans-dimentional portal." A red and yellow Mech reported.
"Can you find out who it is?" The black and white Mech asked.
Blaster tapped at a few keys. "Yes sir it's Swindle. I'm also picking up a strange energy reading coming from in side the vessel…"
He tapped at more keys. "Sir.. It's almost Identical to the Allspark!"
Prowl came over to the Mech's station and gazed at the reports coming in from the ships scanners.
A frown appeared on his face plates. "Prowl to Ultra Magnus come in."
"Ultra Magnus. What do you need?"
"We Found something you lost..or should I say someone… I'm sending you the intell now try not to fire on him he may be carrying precious cargo..."
"Roger keep an optic on him. I'll be there in a breem. Magnus out."
Prowl turned to a large black Mech controlling the weapons station.
"Ironhide bring weapons systems on-line but do not fire up less fired upon. Keep Swindle busy until Magnus gets here. I'm going to inform Prime. Jazz you have the bridge."
Space view
The White Autobot ship tailed the small black shuttle as it sped threw the stars.
A large Red and Green planet loomed ahead, the Autobot Vessel slowed down and pulled away slightly as small red and blue vessel left the large docking bay and continued the chase.
the nose of the ship turned cherry red as Swindle's shuttle slammed into the planets atmosphere.
Swindles ship
"Forward Thrusters off-line." The Computer informed in it's usual calm tone.
The infuriated Decepticon cursed out loud as he tried to compensate for the loss of the thrusters that would slow the shuttles decent.
The ship rattled and shook as it fell threw the atmosphere.
"Computer send out Emergency beacon." Swindle shouted as he prepped for a crash landing.
Sparks exploded from the consul as the heat fried circuits and burned threw wires.
"Emergency Beacon sent." The computer informed him right before it to blew up in a shower of sparks and smoke.
Amidst all the chaos, the young woman slept on.
The light that had surrounded her a few moments ago was now gone.
The magnetic field protected her from anything that blew off the Computer consul as it kept her sleeping form suspended over the glowing platform.
Swindle braced him self in the pilots seat as the ground came rushing at him.
Praying to Primus that there would be pieces of him big enough to pickup after this was done and over with.
To be continued...
There we go Sorry for the boreing chapter but I stalled there for a bit. Things will pick back up in the next chapter.
P.S. Hey People I have come up with a crazy Idea... I may or may not work but ..Here goes... If you have a suggestion of something you would like to see Jen go threw. Let me know I might just put it in the story... Even if I don't get any Ideas the story will continue! Thank you much... Shadow.
I need air, I need water, I need reviews!
This is Shadow signing out...
