Prediking looked towards Lightstreak, than towards Firon. He mumbled something to Firon, and calmly walked down the hall with Shockwave leading the way. When Prediking and Shockwave turned the corner and had left optical sighting range, Firon transformed into a beautiful femme bot. "Transform into your preditorial form so we can speak in private." Firon spoke, blatantly. Firon transformed back into her dragon form and lay down near the door to her cell. Lightstreak soon followed, transforming into her preditorial form and walked to her door as well.
Firon began the conversation with an out of the ordinary question, "Tell me how you plan on getting off this ship." Lightstreak stared in shock, not expecting that question to be asked. "Well how close are we to an autobot base?"
"There's an autobot base?"
"Of course there is, why else would Cliff be all the way out here? Here I'll ask him."
Lightstreak transformed back into her robot form, and looked at the door standing in her way. Lightstreak looked at Firon then at her blasters.
"Firon, I have a plan. We leave now."
Firon looked at Lightstreak in shock, as Lightstreak blasted the door. The siren sounded, as Lightstreak jumped through the hole. Firon stood up and blasted her door, following after Lightstreak. "You go on ahead; I have to get him out." Lightstreak said, gesturing towards Cliffjumper. Firon kept on running out of the cell block, hopefully to hide from the soldiers no doubt coming their way.
"Cliff you might want to step back." Cliffjumper stepped away from the bars and covered his helm. Lightstreak pulled her guns, and fired. The bars blasted off, and Cliffjumper reached out for Lightstreak's servo, and they ran out together. The hallways were glowing red, as the beacons went off. Cliffjumper directed Lightstreak towards a crack in the wall. Lightstreak and Cliff went to the large indent and hid. "Psssssst" came from somewhere adjacent to them. Lightstreak looked franticly around, when she saw Firon ready to go.
"You ready?"
"Frag yeah, I've been waiting months!"
The trio ran down the hall, through a door where a large window stood before them.
"Let's do this!"
Firon and Lightstreak transformed, and jumped through the window. Cliff looked warily but soon followed into the black abyss of space. Below them laid the small dirt world, Earth. Lightstreak grabbed ahold of Cliffjumper's shoulders and began to fly downward, suddenly stopping. "Firon you take him I forgot something!" Lightstreak tossed over Cliffjumper, and flew back up to the warship. Lightstreak arrived on the ledge she had just jumped through. Lightstreak didn't waste time running through the halls on all fours. She barged through the crowds of cons and into the med-bay. She frantically looked around the room until she set her optics upon her battle tools, still in their confined cage. Lightstreak took her claw and slashed at the bars. The metal divided from the base and fell to the floor. Lightstreak grabbed the twin Sais, and turned to run. Suddenly she was met with a shock to her hide. There standing behind her was Knockout, the doctor she had previously been aided by.
"GET OUT OF HERE PREDICON!"
Lightstreak transformed back into her bot form, as another strike befell her frame.
"Lightstreak? You're a predicon!?"
"Lightstreak turned over, as the electricity coursed through her. Out of the corner of her optic, she saw a glimmer of silver. She reached out grabbing a hold of the hilt of her Sais. She clicked the green button on the top of the hilt, and the energy grew to the blade. Lightstreak unaware of what was where she slashed the blade in all directions until she struck something large and close by. The strike was followed by something hitting the ground hard.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU SCRATCHED MY PAINTJOB!"
Lightstreak got up and refocused her optics to where she could see. The doctor was on the ground withering in pain. His servos were clutched over his face-plate. Lightstreak ran towards the large window pane that observed the vast space outside. With her Sais in hand she jumped through the window, breaking it into millions of pieces. She transformed into her predatory form, and flew towards Earth.
She reached the planet's atmosphere, and burst into flame as she flew downward. Below she saw a puddle of blue. The heat started to burn her frame as she grew closer to the puddle (Which was now a lot bigger). All too soon she hit the surface of the water, extinguishing the flames. Lightstreak opened her optics, and saw the tiny bubbles rising to escape the unknown world. She outstretched her wings, and rose out of the water. The sky grew in the surface of the water until she reached fresh air. She flew up ever higher.
Lightstreak flew towards the shore, and when she arrived she realized she was all alone. Lightstreak looked around and thought that the best decision at the time was to use her distinct green flame. She turned her helm to the sky, and just before she let it go a roar was heard a few clicks away. Lightstreak transformed and began jumping over trees trying to reach the spot quicker. When Lightstreak reached the location of the sound, she saw Firon and Cliffjumper sitting side-by-side waiting for an answering call.
"You guys waiting for me?" Lightstreak said jumping from a cliff, landing with Sais in hand.
"Took you long enough." Cliffjumper said as he rose to hug his cousin, which he hadn't gotten to do in a long time. "We should be getting a bridge from base soon."
"See Firon, I told you there was a base."
"Stop showing off… besides, how do we know if we can trust them?"
"Oh these guys are the real deal, and their leader is the one and only…"
Cliffjumper was interrupted by the appearance of a green portal. He began to walk toward the vortex, when a yellow mech stepped through.
"BEE, man it's good to see you again."
The yellow mech stopped in shock at first from the presumed dead comrade Cliffjumper, plus the two new femme bots standing behind him.
"Bee how's Arcee? I'd hate to think that she thought I abandoned her."
The yellow bot shook his helm as he came up to Cliffjumper, and cried. The two femmes came closer, and when Bumblebee had finished his moment of grief he turned to the two femmes, and directed them towards the portal. The two looked towards each other warily, then towards Cliffjumper who gave them a reassuring look. The two walked together through the vortex of swirling energy. They stopped for a second, and with their processors combined they thought of a wonderful plan.
"Hey, I have an idea that will scare the scrap out of them, Sound fun?" Firon said in a devious tone.
"Okay, what is it?"
They looked at each other, and transformed into their predatory forms. They spread their wings and ran through the portal freely. When they exited the swirls of green energy, five cybertronians stood there waiting for their arrival.
"Hey you gu-"
The four mechs froze in their tracks, as the only femme on the team pulled her blasters, and aimed. Suddenly the hum of two engines could be heard through the portal. Firon and Lightstreak stepped out of the way to let the two vehicles come through. The yellow Camaro skidded to a stop at the sight of the two predicons; While Cliffjumper transformed, and walked calmly over to the femme bot and pulled down her blasters. Her optics began to well up with lubricant as her legs began to buckle. Cliffjumper pulled her into a tight hug to keep her from falling.
"Oh Arcee, I am so sorry."
Lightstreak and Firon transformed back into their robot forms, giving the look of surprise to everyone in the room except for Arcee who was still crying her heart out.
"Cliffjumper, it is good to see you again. Also it is nice to have two new additions to the team." Said a voice coming from a large red and blue bot.
"Op…Optimus?!" Firon said in shock.
