Raggletag and Freezerburn are Tony Tuski characters.
(PLACE: Kynight�s dimensional ship, interior. Darkened, expect for monitor�s lights.)
Kynight was pissed off and it they didn�t find Kylord this time, she was going to scream, �Prepare to activate the Dimensional warp drive and shift dimensions.�
Eolian nodded by the light of her screen and gave the order, �Lis, Mis, Glacterra... check all systems and call out, all goes.� Eolian said as she plugged into her computer terminal. Kynight smiled into he darkened ship, a new exciting adventure awaited!

(Place: Earth, near the Ark, May, 1986.)
Raggletag was bored, he was sick to death of guard duty.
�Earth..... A boring day in the life of....� Freezerburn began in a rough sounding voice.
�Shut up, asshole!� Raggletag yelled, as he thought to himself, �Why of all the transformers on this base did I get stuck with this screw up?�
Just then, Ironhide came out of the Ark and overheard Raggletag�s comment.
�Okay, guys, what�s going on? You�re guard duty, not some cruise.� Ironhide said as he stopped a pace in front of the two.
�Uunnn, nothing boss, just thinking out loud.� Raggletag muttered. Suddenly the sky thundered with life as purple lightning flashed around within a sphere shape above the three.
�Holy Primus!� Ironhide yelled.
�By the golden spires!� Raggletag yelled as Freezerburn took off in the direction of the strange occurrence.
�You dumb shit! Get back here!� Ironhide yelled as alarms went off in the base and everyone came running.
Optimus came running out of the Ark, looking confused, �What�s going on?! There�s nothing on the screens! What set off the alarms!?�
�Don�t know! Haven�t... � Bumblebee began as Ironhide yelled, �Freezerburn, you idiot! Get back here!�
Ironhide was running after Freezerburn with Raggletag right behind him.
�Ironhide! What�s going on?!� Optimus yelled out as he moved towards them.
Ironhide turned to Prime and paused just long enough to say, �Freezerburn, Raggletag, and myself saw some kind of object in the sky! It was going in a southern direction and Freezerburn took off after it!�
Ironhide and Raggletag quickly transformed and followed Freezerburn. Optimus turned to his troops.
�This could be a Decepticon trick! Jazz, Sunstreaker, Huffer, Brawn, Sideswipe, with me! The rest of you be prepared for anything! Autobots! Transform and roll out!� Optimus ordered.
* * *
�Son of a black star!� Glacterra yelled as she and Eolian tried to bring the ship under control again.
�What the hell....� Lis began, �did we hit?!� Mis finished.
Kynight cursed under breathe and ordered, �Computer! Plug me into the main control chair!!� The ship responded and the main control chair activated, a huge spider-like pod came down from the ceiling and opened it�s tip, revealing a plug that merged Kynight into the ship�s systems.
Taking control, Kynight lowered the power levels and used thrusters to level the ship out. Quickly Kynight took notice that there were Transformers life signs close by.
�Oh, exhaust fumes!� Kynight yelled, she didn�t need this today. The ship�s landing was a rough one, but there seemed to be very little damage.
�Yell out if you are functioning!� Eolian ordered though the chaos.
�Okay!� Lis and Miss called out simultaneously.
�Go to hell......� Glacterra moaned.
�Good, but ladies, we�ve got company... Computer, let�s have a look.� Kynight said as she activated the long range scanners.
�One male Autobot.. two following him and six other s following them.� The computer reported.
Kynight narrowed her optics, �Lis, Mis.. Since out guests are Autobots and both of you wear Decepticons� badge you must stay here... repair any damage done.. Eolian, Glacterra, with me!� Kynight ordered as she unplugged herself and stood up.
* * *
Freezerburn slowed and took cover, waiting for some action to occur. Within a minute, Ironhide and Raggletag came to a stop and transformed looking at the ship that wasn�t there a moment before.
�What�s is going on?� Raggletag whispered to Ironhide. Ironhide turned as Optimus and the others arrived.
�This isn�t good.� Huffer moaned as they finished their transformations. Optimus noticed that Freezerburn was taking aim at the ship. Looking at the ship, Optimus saw that the hatch was opening.
�Freezerburn! No!� Optimus yelled out.
Freezerburn turned and was about to say something when, �I wouldn�t do that if I were you.� Kynight said as she walked down off the ramp. All the Autobots turned to see Kynight as she, Glacterra, and Eolian came out of the ship.
Optimus quickly noted, �Autobots.�
Raggletag whispered, �Yeah, female Autobots.�
Ironhide snickered and came forward with Optimus Prime as Freezerburn bitched, �Shit! I hoped for some fighting! This sucks!�
Kynight glanced at Freezerburn, then sideways at Glacterra. Whispering to herself, she said, �This is not funny.� As Kynight rolled her optics Skyward.
Optimus paused and asked, �Excuse me?�
Kynight quickly coughed and smiled sweetly, �Oh, just something I picked up. My name is Kynight, this is Eolian, and Glacterra.�
Optimus cocked his head sideways as he said, �I see. Well, I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. Ironhide here is my lieutenant. Your ship didn�t show on our radar, what kind of ship is it?�
�And what the hell was the light-show about?� Ironhide added.
Eolian glanced at Kynight, �How many times do we gotta go through this?� she asked. Kynight sighed and rolled her optics skyward again.
�Ug, through what?� Huffer wondered out loud.
�Yeah, machine, what you talking about?� Jazz asked the fembots. Kynight growled softly as the Autobots glanced around confused.
�Eolian! Do you have exhaust fumes in your central computer?!� Kynight screamed as Eolain flew behind Glacterra, wide-opticed. Optimus placed his rifle across his other arm and watched as the one called Kynight placed her hand on her forehead, looking tired.
* * *
Ravage moved a step closer to the strange ship, as he overheard Ironhide�s comment on the light show.
�Megatron may like to hear this.� Soundwave told Ravage. Ravage transformed as he returned to Soundwave and began to record the conversation.
* * *
Kynight turned to the Autobots with one optic closed and a stubborn look on her face plate.
�It�s like this, my brothers,� Kynight began, while Raggletag made a face at Kynight�s comment.
�We are looking for a criminal from our home world. He is very dangerous and wanted for many crimes. How we got here is top secret technology that you may not have at this time. Giving you this information could prove fatal, we are Autobots, as you can see, so I beg you take our word on this matter.� Kynight explained to the assembled Autobots and hidden Decepticons.
�Why can�t you tell us how you got here? What kind of technology it is?!� Brawn demanded loudly.
�Yeah, what, do you think you�re better then us?� Sunstreaker asked cockily.
Optimus thought for a moment before saying, �Autobots do not lie. We should take their word for it. But can you at least tell us where you�re from?�
Kynight frowned, what the heck, Autobots don�t lie, then slowly nodded, �Yes, our home lies far across the deep folds of space, it is called Paix.�
Optimus nodded, when suddenly black smoke poured our of Kynight�s ship.
Two female Decepticons came flying out of the ship yelling, The dimensional warp drive...� Lis said, �just blew it�s main circuit!� Mis finished.
The assembled Autobot�s quickly raised their weapons as Freezerburn gave a battle cry and started to run forward.
Kynight quickly tripped Freezerburn while yelling, �Glacterra, freeze him!�
Glacterra jumped started her refrigeration system and blasted Freezerburn. Freezerburn ignored the blast, but Glacterra moved into his path and flipped him onto his back. Freezerburn was surprised and showed it.
�Wait! Please stop!� Kynight yelled, as she jumped in front of Lis and Mis. Optimus paused and waited to see what would happen.
�Please.. Lis and Mis are my friends, they will do as I say. Trust me..� Kynight pleaded with Optimus Prime. Optimus looked deeply into Kynight�s optics, feeling he knew her for some reason, Optimus nodded, �Very well. Autobots, put away your weapons.�
�What do you mean, Optimus?� Brawn asked loudly.
�But we�ll be defenseless! What if they attack?� Huffer asked.
�Oh, my fellow machine, if only we could get that lucky.� Raggletag whispered to Huffer, with a subtle elbow, as Huffer gave him a strange look. Kynight smiled softly at Raggletag, she didn�t hear all of what he said but had a good idea, he was definitely a charmer.
Ironhide looked at their ship and commented to Optimus Prime, �They�re going to need help repairing their ship.�
Optimus nodded, �You�re right. They�ll need our help.�
* * *
Soundwave transformed back to robot mode and left the area, thinking to himself, �These fembots are strange. Autobots and Decepticons working together. That ship, what kind of secrets does it hold? Megatron must be noticed of this.�
* * *
Kynight smiled at Optimus, �Thank you, but unless you have someone that can fix a dimensional warp drive, we might be better off by ourselves.�
�A dimensional what? Freezerburn, you idiot, stop that!� Raggletag yelled as Freezerburn and Glacterra began to circling each other. Ironhide quickly moved in on Freezerburn as Optimus sighed.
Kynight frowned and called, �Glacterra, enough! Play time is over!� Glacterra snarled as Eolian moved in on her. Ironhide was having some of the same troubles with Freezerburn as he moved in on him. Optimus sighed to himself. Kynight turned to Optimus. Both of then shared a look, as Raggletag moved to help Ironhide with Freezerburn.
�This couldn�t get any worse.� Brawn muttered.
�This will only be more trouble.� Huffer whined. Ironhide and Raggletag finally wrestle Freezerburn to the ground when Glacterra reactivated her refrigeration system.
�Aarrgghh!� Eolian yelled as she quickly back off, holding her ice caked hands. Glacterra turned towards the trio, as Kynight quickly placed herself between them.
* * *
Soundwave arrived at Decepticons headquarters and moved along it�s darkened corridors, until he came to Megatron�s throne room. Pausing Soundwave then entered the room to report his finding.
* * *
�Now Glacterra, I ain�t in the mood for this. I know you like to fight, my friend, but this is not the time or place, or haven�t you noticed?� Kynight asked Glacterra softly, but yet firmly. Glacterra blinked and titled her head sideways like a child trying to figure out a problem.
�That�s right, it�s me Kynight and I wouldn�t lie to you, would I?� Kynight asked as Freezerburn shook off Ironhide.
�No, Kynight, you wouldn�t do that, I�ll stop.� Glacterra said, as Freezerburn got up and shook off Raggletag.
�Look out! He�s loose!� Raggletag screamed as Freezerburn broke loose.
* * *
�Well done, Soundwave. I am pleased.� Megatron said as he listened to the end of the tape.
�But what does this mean?� Starscream asked as he brought his hand to his face plate.
�My dear Starscream, didn�t you listen?� Megatron asked as he turned to his troops. Most of them turned to each other and shrugged their shoulders. Megatron rolled his optics, �Soundwave.�
Soundwave rewound and played part of the tape again.
�The dimensional warp drive... � Lis said, just blew it�s main circuit.� Mis finished.
Starscream gasped, �Dimensional warp drive!�
Megatron smiled, �YES! And it must be capture for the Decepticon cause! Hahaha.... �
* * *
Freezerburn gave a battle cry, as Kynight turned partly and held out her arm.
�Freezerburn! Stop!� Optimus yelled as he began to move in, to stop Freezerburn. Freezerburn was closing in, when Kynight slid her slicers out. Stopping just short of the blade, Freezerburn just missed getting cut.
�Now,� Kynight began as she turned to Freezerburn, �didn�t I tell you no to do that?�
Freezerburn looked at Kynight�s slicer, then at her. Raggletag frowned as Jazz whispered, �Looks like Freezerburn gotta a new friend....�
Sunstreaker rolled his optics skyward as Sideswipe chuckled under his breath.
�Freezerburn, enough.� Optimus ordered as he came up to Freezerburn and touched his shoulder.
Kynight smiled, thinking to herself, �He�s a lot like Glacterra and that means I maybe able to influence him, like I do with Glacterra.�
Raggletag turned to Ironhide and whispered, �Didn�t they say something about a dimensional drive?�
Ironhide looked at the fembots as Eolian came forward and said, �Yes, a dimensional warp drive.�
�We are travelers and looking for a criminal from our home world. His name is �Lord, med-height. Blue-green in color.� Kynight said as she placed her weight on her right leg.
�Wait a minute!� Brawn exclaimed, �What�s about this dimensional warp drive?�
Kynight smiled and winked at him, Brawn backed up a step as Kynight placed her hands on her hips. Ironhide smiled as she looked at Raggletag, he didn�t look to happy right now.
Sunstreaker whispered to his brother, �Looks like Rags has a thing for �Night.� Sideswipe nodded in agreement.
Sunstreaker nodded to his brother as Optimus came up to Kynight, �Just what is this dimensional warp drive?�
�It allows us to shirt dimensions.� Eolian sang out as she came to stand beside Glacterra. Kynight nodded, a little uncertain, �Now do you understand? Out technology can be dangerous to you, and if it would fall into the wrong hands...�
�Oh, I can just feel the trouble brewing.� Huffer moaned.
Optimus turned to his troops, �Yes, I see what you�re saying now.�
Kynight smiled and nodded, �Good! Lis, Miss! Let�s open the back up while Eolian gets her tools. Glacterra, go and check the main computer and see what needs repairs!� The fembots instantly moved to do Kynight�s bidding.
Turning cheerfully to the Autobots, Kynight winked. �So just how far is your base?� Optimus chuckled, Kynight�s voice unit totally changed, as did her stance, standing straight with her shoulders back and her arms behind her.
�Whoa bros....� Ironhide whispered to Raggletag and Freezerburn.
�Son of a ....� Eolian yelled as Kynight interrupted her, �Eolian!�
Eolian marched out of the back of the ship. Stopping at the end of the ramp, Eolian placed her hands of her hips and stared at Kynight.
Kynight moaned and said, � I don�t want to know, do I?�
Eolian sighed, �The main control chip is burned out, so is the wiring to the engine. I believe, we hit, while coming out of warp and into Earth�s space, that is why we didn�t pick it up, a satellite. There are some pieces jammed into our ship. I can rebuild the chip, but we�ll need to get more wire. I don't know if there is more damage, and we still have to look for �Lord.�
Kynight frowned, �Optimus, have you seen out criminal? And perhaps we can buy some wiring somewhere?�
Optimus turned to his troops, �Anyone know of this �Lord?�
Everyone shook their heads no, but Freezerburn and Raggletag. Kynight looked at them.
�What do you say he looked like? What�s his transformation?� Raggletag asked as he came up to Kynight with Freezerburn beside him.
�He�s a blue-green and a pick up truck. Have you seen him?� Kynight asked as she looked deeply at the two.
�Think Freezerburn?� Raggletag asked as he turned to his companion.
�Gotta be, it�s too neat.� Freezerburn said as Optimus came up beside Freezerburn and Kynight.
�What did you see?� Optimus asked Raggletag and Freezerburn. The two shared a look and Raggletag shifted his weight.
�Yesterday on guard duty, we picked up a strange signal and checked it out. We saw a bluish pick-up moving away form the signal.� Raggletag said as Freezerburn yelled out, But the signal disappeared and there was nothing there!�
Kynight placed both her hands on her hips, then started to pace.
�Kynight?� Eolian asked as she stepped off the ramp. Stopping, Kynight turned and hit her right hand into her left, �It must be him!�
�What�s he wanted for?� Brawn asked. Kynight looked at him, and Brawn flinched on the inside, it was like Kynight was looking right into his soul.
Slowly Kynight said, Theft, betraying the home work, murder. Name it and he�s done it.� Optimus was worried a bit now, this �Lord was dangerous, he turned to his troops seeing what their expressions were.
�This dude is bad news.� Jazz said as Huffer started to whine again.
Ironhide frowned, �We better check out the Ark and inform the others of what is going on.� Optimus nodded in agreement.
�Optimus Prime?� Kynight asked as she came up to him. Optimus turned to Kynight, �Yes?�
�May I borrow these two warriors to check out the place were they saw �Lord?� Kynight asked.
Optimus looked at Raggletag and Freezerburn, �I think that is a good idea. Freezerburn please be careful,� Optimus said as he looked a Freezerburn in the optics. Freezerburn gave Optimus a grin and Raggletag moaned. Optimus place his hand over his optics and sighed heavily.
�Great! Let�s get started!� Kynight exclaimed as she grabbed Freezerburn�s and Raggletag�s arms, �Let�s go already!�
Optimus watched as Kynight began to drag Raggletag and Freezerburn away with her. Eolian called out suddenly, �Night!�
Kynight stopped and turned as Eolian came running up to her, �Be careful, we�ll be waiting to hear from you.�
Kynight smiled, �No problem, but if the ship still has it�s thrusters, I want it moved to a safer position.�
Ironhide walked up to Freezerburn as Kynight finished her last word. �Well, the safest place is the Ark.� Ironhide commented as he moved behind Freezerburn, seeing him begin to shift his weight.
�Yes, can you move your ship there? That way we can protect it from the Decepticons.� Optimus urged.
Lis and Mis hissed from the top of the ramp. Kynight sighed. Optimus turned his head and watched as Lis and Mis walked down off the ramp. Suddenly, Freezerburn gave a cry and Ironhide nailed him in the back of the head. Everyone turned to see Freezerburn hit the ground, unconscious.
Raggletag bent and checked Freezerburn, �He�s okay, just off-line.�
Kynight turned to Optimus, �Optimus Prime. Kynight placed her hands on her hips as Optimus thought to himself, �Mistake number two.�
�Many of my friends are Decepticons and are good machines. I�m sure that we can talk to these Decepticons?� Kynight asked as she tapped her foot, this seemed so odd to her.
�Are you nuts?!� Brawn exclaimed.
�Megatron a good machine?!� Jazz said as he began to laugh.
�Megatron isn�t the talking type, �Night.� Raggletag said as he chuckled to himself.
Kynight frowned and thought to herself, �Damn, this is just my luck.�
�Oh well, that doesn�t mean all �Cons are bad.� Eolian said.
Optimus sighed, �You�re right. Lis, Mis, I apologize for my comment. We are not used to friendly Decepticons.� Lis and Mis looked at each other and then turned back to Optimus.
�Apology...� Mis said, �accepted.� Lis finished.
�Good!� Kynight sang out. "Rag, guess you�re the lucky machine that gets to take me to the place you saw �Lord last.�
Raggletag grinned as Kynight began to transformed. Ironhide came up behind Raggletag and slapped him in the back of the head lightly, �Watch your manners, kid.�
Raggletag laughed and winked at this fellow Autobots as he transformed. Kynight stared her engine and race it, �Well, which way?!�
Raggletag started his engine and headed in a Northwest direction. Optimus watched Raggletag lead Kynight away and then Kynight speed up and slowed down, playing cat and mouse with him.
�Oh, poor Rags! I wouldn�t want to drive next to that!� Huffer complaint. Optimus quickly turned to Eolian, Lis, Mis, and noticed Glacterra had joined them. Eolian winked at Optimus and burst out laughing. Soon everyone joined in.
* * *
Megatron gave Soundwave a look, �Well?� he asked.
Soundwave turned to Megatron, �Ravage reports that the captain of the ship and one Autobot have gone off in a Northwest direction.�
Megatron laughed, �Good! Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp! Go and make a run on the ship and see what the Autobots are up to. Soundwave eject Laserbeak and have him follow the two Autobots. The eject Buzzsaw and have him check the Ark!�
Megatron watched as he ordered were followed, �Soon that ship and it�s secrets will be mine!�
�Some on, Soundwave let us go. Contact Thrust, Dirge, and Ramjet and have them on stand by!� Megatron said as he took to the air.
* * *
�Oh, come on, Rags!� Kynight said as she raced a head and laughed.
Raggletag gulped and yelled, �I�m not built for speed and besides, what�s your hurry?!�
Kynight frowned, he really didn�t have any faith in himself, but she liked him anyhow, �Raggletag! Wait a second, did you just pick up anything on your sensors?�
Raggletag frowned and checked his systems, �I�m not sure, what do you got?� he asked as Kynight slide beside him.
Raggletag waited, but Kynight didn�t answer him. Raggletag thought to himself, �Trouble, and �Night knows it.�
* * *
�Okay, so we can get the sip to the Ark, but we may do more damage then good?� Prime asked Eolian. Eolian opened her mouth but said nothing. Suddenly the fembots took off.
�Optimus, no time, there�s something going down! Kynight says that some kind of metal bird id following them and before she thought that something or someone was watching us!� Eolian yelled as the two Decepticons took to the air and Glacterra closed up the entrance to the ship.
Optimus quickly scanned the area and ordered his troops, �Something�s up! Be prepared for anything!�
* * *
Starscream took the lead as Thundercracker and Skywarp fell into the drive behind him.
�Targets below! Open fire at will!� Starscream yelled as he began to open fire on the Autobots below.
* * *
Ironhide looked up as he heard the sound of jet engines, �Optimus!�
Optimus nodded as the jets opened fire on them. The Autobots surprise, the blasts bounced off a shield and sparked violently.
�Whoa! Cool!� Sideswipe exclaimed as the shield partly materialized.
Megatron frowned and went lower to the ground to avoid Autobot radar detection, and the other Decepticons followed, including Soundwave who had just rejoined them after repairing Thundercracker.
Starscream caught up with Megatron and repeated. �Well What to do with her?�
Megatron paused briefly before saying, �I plan to have Soundwave rewire her logic circuits. With her incredible skill, she will make an excellent addition to the Decepticons.�
Starscream quickly produced a huge smirk on his face, and half a second later started laughing uncontrollably. He laughed so hard, he nearly flew out of control and banged into Soundwave, before straightening up. Soundwave gave Star a stern look. He was not amused.
But Star didn�t care. He then flew back up next to Megatron, still chuckling, and asked cynically, �Huh! Are you sure that�s all you want, Megatron?�
Now all the other Decepticons started laughing amongst themselves. Even Soundwave showed signs of amusement. Megatron remained silent.
Starscream continued, �Hmm� Where is she going to sleep? Your quarters, perhaps?
Megatron quickly jerked his head towards Starscream, almost as if he thought Star was psychic. Starscream saw the expression on Megatron�s face plate, and laughed wickedly in triumph. "Ha ha ha�!! I knew it! She�s gonna be your new play-bot! Ha ha ha!�
All of a sudden, Megatron stopped dead in his flight path and took aim at Starscream with his fusion cannon before screaming, �SILENCE!!! My patience wears thin with your, Starscream! Another word and I�ll blast you down to the beach below, fool!�
Starscream stopped laughing, but still had a smile on his face when Kynight came back on-line.
Without warning, she nailed Megatron in the chin, Megatron�s head flew back and he crashed to the beach, dropping Kynight as he hit the ground. Megatron slowly got onto his feet. Shaking his head dizzily, he thought to himself, �Whoa! What a punch for such a fragile looking creature!�
Starscream and the other Decepticons landed on the beach, as Kynight got up on her feet Starscream walked up to Megatron and Snickered �Heh, what�s the matter Megatron, cant�t handle the rough lovin�?�
Megatron growled, as Kynight removed a dart from her helmet and hurled it at Starscream with precise aim, hitting Star directly in the middle of his waist. Starscream gasped and curled over in pain. Now it was Megatron�s turn to laugh. �Now the tables have turned,� he thought to himself.
Kynight casually walked up to the still hurting Starscream and threatened, �Next time I�ll aim a little lower.�
Starscream slowly lifted his head to look at Kynight, as she pulled back her arm and bashed him squarely right in his jaw. Starscream flew right on his back and remained silent.
Kynight loomed over Starscream and inquired, �How�s that for rough lovin�, Starscream." as she shook the pain off her hand.
Now Megatron was out-in rolling with laughter, as his Decepticons looked at each other.
Kynight frowned as she looked at Megatron. �What do you think is so funny?�
Megatron chuckled and looked at Kynight. Bowing slightly he offered Kynight his hand. �My dear Lady, you should rest after such a fall.�
Kynight knocked Megatron�s hand away, �Rest? Exhaughts fumes! You�re crazy if you think I�m staying here!�
Megatron frowned as Kynight turned and ran right into Bonecrusher. Bonecrusher nailed Kynight one, knocking her off-line again.
***
Raggletag watched as Eolian paced between a stand of rocks. Slingshot yelled out, �Stop your damn pacing, will ya? You�re makin� me nervous!�
Silverbolt sighed at Slingshot�s outburst and shared a look with Raggletag. Eolian quickly turned, growling and aimed her weapon at Slighshot. Before anyone could react, she let loose a high frequency wave, knocking him on his afterburner. Everyone turned a surprised optic to Eolian as she sat down shaking with worry.
�It�s been too long! Kynight should have been back by now!� Eolian said, �What do you mean?! Why are your worried now and not before??!� Raggletag nearly yelled at Eolian.
Eolian looked at Raggeltag and burst out crying, �She hasn�t checked in! It�s been too long! I wish she�d carry a weapon! Oh this is my fault, we should have gone after them in the first place!�
�You mean that Kynight doesn�t carry a weapon of any kind?� Silverbolt asked. Raggletag swallowed hard as he felt his tank turn, things looked bad.
***
Megatron smiled, �Well done, Bonecrusher!�
Starscream moaned as Megatron moved over Kynight. Bonecrusher backed away as Megatron picked her up and turned to Star.
�Get up, you fool. Kynight has enough skill to take you down, Starscream, and I believe that your quarters will do nicely for her to stay in.� Megatron retorted as Starscream�s mouth dropped open. Megatron then took to the air as the other Deceptions laughed at the whole situation.
�Please! My fellow �Cons, do think� just where is Starscream going to stay? Mmm?� Deadend asked.
The Decepticon army moaned and sighed as they began to take to the air. This female was a lot of trouble.
***
�Kynight doesn�t carry any kind of blaster. She says that it would get in her way, that she needs something light weight and easy to carry, so she can travel quickly.� Eolian sniffed,
Let�s get back to the Ark.� Skydive said quietly, Everyone nodded, it was agreed. The Aerialbolts and Eolian took to the air as Raggletag transformed thinking to himself,� A weapon easy to carry and small� perhaps something even fashionable?�
***
Glacterra sighed and Freezerburn move slightly.
�Okay, this is the wiring� I hape that it will work in your system?� Wheeljack asked.
He began bugging Glacterra awhile ago to get a look at their ship.
Spike chuckled and Bumblebee rolled his optics skyward. Suddenly Lis and Mis came flying out of the ship and Glacterra whipped around. The Autobots weren�t used to Deceptions so close, and tensed slightly.
Glacterra ran to Lis and Mis with Freezerburn close to her side.
�What are they doing, Wheeljack?� Spike asked his friend as the fembots waited.
Ironhide came out of the Ark with Perceptor and Ratchet right bihind him.
Glacterra turned to Freezerburn, �Stay, I�ll be right back.� Freezerburn nodded and baked up a few steps.
Optimus Prme came out with the other Autobots as Grimlock and his Dinobots joined them.
�Silverbolt just contacted us, they�re on their way back. Something about Eolian freaking out on them.�
�Me, Grimlock, want to see strangers.� Grimlock retorted as the other Dinobots nodded. Suddenly Glacterra�s back opened and wings emerged. Nearly see-through and looked to be made of some kind of crystal, the sun�s light shimmered through them in a rainbow of colors.
�Wow!� Spike gasped as Freezerburn sighed.
�Pretty�� Slag muttered.
Lis and Mis transformed and shot straight up into the air as many Autobots fingered their weapons. The two jets took off as Glacterra gently took to the air.
�I believe they are not wings, but more within the realm of fins.� Preceptor noted.
�I believe you�re right.� Ratchet said.
Suddenly the Aerialbots came into view, with the two Decepticons below them. Eolian was at a point below the Aerialbots and in front of Lis and Mis. Glacterra stopped in flight and waited. The Aerialbots transformed and landed in front of the Autobots.
�Decepticons!� Slingshot muttered in disgust as Eolian, Mis and Lis transformed in air and with Glacterra saying, �It�s all my fault�..�
***
Megatron smiled triumphantly as he landed in Decepticon�s headquarters. The female was curing a streak and trying to break his grip on her.
Kynight frowned as she thought, �This is taking too long. I gotta contact my sisters, by now they�re worried sick!.�
�It�s not your fault! I should have gone after them to begin with!� Eolian wailed as they landed and began walking towards the Ark and the waiting Autobots.
�No, we know that Kynight would�� Mis said. �Get mad for us spoiling her fun!� Lis finished.
�Oh! Tire treads! Let�s go after her and argue about it later!� Glacterra exclaimed as Raggletag pulled up and tranformed.
�Glacterra�s right! Let�s go! Eolian ordered.
***
�Put me down!� Kynight ordered as Megatron walked the main bridge of Decepticon headquarters.
Laserbeak squawked and shook with fury at the sight of Kynight. The rest of the Decepticon army soon assembled. Megatron ordered Soundwave to prepare for Kynight�s rewiring as he called, �Motormaster!�
Motormaster came to Megatron�s call.
�Hold her and don�t take your optics off her for a moment!� Megatron ordered as he walked over to the main computer and contacted Buzzsaw.
Kynight stopped fighting as she saw Optimus Prime and her friends on the computer screen. Looking at the computer, Kynight noticed a plug station.
Kynight smiled to herself and turned slightly to Motormaster, �Hello, handsome, got a girlfriend?�
Motormaster blinked as Kynight tilted her head sideways. Within a minute Kynight freed one of her arms and was beginning to remove her helmet. Motormaster smiled and let Kynight go as she removed her helmet and let her wire hair down.
Kynight put her arm around Motormaster and winked at him.
�Well, well�..� Motormaster murmured. Megatron turned as Soundwave entered the room.
�Everything is ready, leader.� Soundwave reported. Megatron smiled, then turned to see Motormaster wrap his arms around Kynight.
�Motormaster!!� Megatron screamed as he lunged at him. Kynight quickly removed herself as the rest of the Decepticons saw what was happening. Megatron wrestled Motormaster down to the floor. Kynight took the opening and plugged into the Decepticon�s computer.
***
�We are�� Mis said, �ready.� Lis finished.
�Glacterra?� Eolian asked as she walked down off the ramp.
�I�m ready, let�s go!!� Glacterra yelled as she patted her rifle.
The fembots emerged from their ship to find the Autobots waiting for them.
�Eolian, if you�re going after Kynight, you�ll need help.� Optimus Prime said as he came forward and raised his weapon to his shoulder.
�Thank you Opti�� Eolian�s voice trailed off as Lis and Mis gasped.
�Optimus, what�s wrong with them?� Spike asked. The females started to laugh as the Autobots looked around confused. Eolian smiled as she turned to Spike.
�We don�t need to worry, Kynight just checked in. She has Megatron and some machine called Motormaster fighting each other.� Eolian chuckled.
�How�d you know?� Jazz asked as the females began to snicker.
�Oh my!! Poor Star!� Glacterra laughed as she grabbed her tank. The Autobots looked around, trying to figure out what was happening.
�Please forgive us.� Eolian sighed, �Kynight contacted us by using these.� Eolian showed them her wrists, which were lit up with communications.
�Fantastic!� Wheeljack exclaimed as he looked closer, �You have compact input/output systems! The technology involved! Perhaps, may I have a closer look?�
Eolian shook her head no as her sisters became quiet. Wheeljack sighed in disappointment, but understood why.
***
Megatron and Motormaster had been wrestling only a few minutes when Starscream took notice that Kynight was using the computer.
�Megatron! She�s using the computer!� Starscream yelled as he aimed his weapon at Kynight.
Kynight unplugged and whipped around us as Starscream blasted her with his null ray. Megatron and Motormaster quickly stopped and got up. Kynight slid to the gound as Megatron said, �Good work, Starscream. She is tricky enough to be a Decepticon. Soundwave�..� Megatron�s voice trailed off os Kynight got up.
�Impossible!� Starscream gasped and all the other activities stopped Kynight growled softly, �I warn you, Star.�
Starscream gulped and backed up a step. Aiming his null ray at Kynight, she began to chuckle.
�How far can you run in an astro-second, Starscream? Because that�s about all the time your null ray will give you.� Kynight smiled.
Megatron smiled. �You are much stronger than you look, Kynight. Soundwave, let us begin.�
Megatron took a step towards Kynight. Kynight turned from Starscream to Megatron and slid her slicers into place.
Soundwave paused and aimed his weapon at her, some of the Decepticons did the same. Kynight frowned as she glanced around.
�You have me at a great disadvantage, Megatron, but before I surrender, what are you going to do with me?� Kynight asked as her slicers went in.
�My dear, I believe you�ll make a wonderful addition to my army. I will have Soundwave rewire your logic circuits.� Megatron said with glee.
Kynight blinked and hid her smile. �I seem to have limited choice in the matter.�
Megatron nodded and walked up to Kynight. Soundwave moved behind her as she turned slightly, but not fast enough. Kynight slid into Megatron�s arms as she was knocked off-line once again.
***
�Okay, so Kynight is fine and she nailed Starscream one, then got Megatron and Motormaster to fight each other, right?� Ironhide asked Eolian.
Eolian smiled and nodded, yes. Ironhide turned to Optimus and both of them began laughing. Everyone started to laugh, but Raggletag. Frowning, Raggletag went into the Ark and using Teletran, he began to desing a weapon for Kynight.
***
Soundwave was excited, but remained still. Megatron leaned forward. �Soundwave?�
Soundwave looked up at his leader. �Her system is slightly different, but I shall be done shortly.�
Megatron smiled and leaned back thinking to himself, �Things are looking well. Soon Kynight will be one of my warriors and will belong to me.�
Soundwave closed Kynight�s cerebral casing and went to recharge her. Megatron nodded to Soundwave and he pulled the switch and recharged her.
Kynight moaned and sat up. Pulling her hand through her hair, Kynight looked around the room in silence.
�My dear, you are up on duty next.� Megatron said as he held out his hand to Kynight.
Turning to Megatron Kynight blinked and answered, �Of course, my Lord. Your will shall be done.�
Megatron threw back his head and laughed as Kynight took Megatron�s hand.
Megatron stopped laughing and brought Kynight to him. �Let me intoduce you to the rest of our army.�
Kynight smiled and tilted her head in and slightly nodded, �Yes, my Lord.�
***
Raggletag paused as Wheeljack leaned over his shoulder, �Whatch ya makin� Raggs?�
�A weapon.� Raggletag answered as he connected two wires to a crystal.
�Oh, what kind? It looks small, who�s it for?� Wheeljack asked as he leaned down on one elbow watching Raggletag.
�It�s sorta like a welding laser. One that will cut metal quite easily, I hope.� Raggletag answered as he adjusted a circuit board.
�Oh, it looks more like a braclet of some kind. A female type weapon, who�s it for?� Wheeljack probed.
Raggletag stopped and looked up at Wheeljack, �Do you mind Wheeljack, I�m trying to work here.�
Wheeljack began to chuckle as he left the room.
***
Megatron entered the room with Kynight at his side. Starscream moaned as Motormaster backed up a step. Laserbeak shuttered slightly.
�My fellow Decepticons, meet our newest member-Kynight . My dear, you will be going on patrol with Starscream.� Megatron announced.
Kynight bowed to Megatron, �Yes my Lord.� Starscream made a face at them as Kynight turned to him.
�Then let�s not waste time here, let�s go, Star.� Kynight said as she walked up to Starscream.
Starscream turned to Megatron, who was smiling wickedly at them, �Go Starscream, show Kynight her quarters and then report for patrol.� Megatron chuckled softly as Starscream growled.
�Well, Star?� Kynight asked as she placed her hands on her hips.
�Fine, let�s go!� Starscream snarled, he was not happy.
***
�These are your quarters.� Starscream grumbled as Kynight stepped inside.
�It will do, but I really don�t know about being Megatron�s play-bot.� Kynight said as she turned to Starsscream and leaned against the door.. Starscream gasped as Kynight grabbed him and pulled him into his old quarters.
Letting the door close, Kynight watched as Starscream backed up, gulping like a fish out of water.
�You�re�..You�re not�..� Starscream tried to spit out as Kynight chuckled at Starscream�s expression.
�Of course not, you fool! You can�t rewire something into a Decepticon, when it already has Decepticon wiring in it!� Kynight exclaimed as Starscream blinked.
�You have�..� Starscream began. �Yes, I do, now help me Starscream!!� Kynight said as she cut off Starscream.
�Why should I help you!?� Starscream yelled back as the shock wore off.
�Well, I thought you might like your quarters back for starter!� Kynight yelled at Starscream.
Starscream stopped and the laughed, �I think we can help each other.�
Kynight slowly smiled as the began to make their plans.
***
Raggletag held up his work, made of silver base with titanium mixed in the frame. A circular piece that hooked around below the elbow, then another circular piece around the wrist and a ring for the middle finger. All connected together by wires that would be wrapped in metal tubes. Two crystal, one in the ring, the other on the wrist part.
Raggletag smiled as he aimed the weapon, and then fired it. A metal block, about six inches thick split in half.
***
�Remember, we have a deal. I get out of here and give me some of your technology, okay?� Starscream asked as he got up from his desk chair.
�Yes, agreed. Let�s go already.� Kynight responded as she got off her bed and headed for the door.
�You don�t know where you�re going! Behind me!?� Starscream ordered as he left the room Kynight sighed and looked towards the ceiling. �How do I get into these messes?�
***
Starscream reported for patrol duty with Kynight standing behind him.
�We�re going now, who are we relieving?� Starscream asked Hook.
�You�ll be replacing Dirge and Frenzy at the space bridge after you do a run by. So this is our new warrior? Not bad..� Hook chuckled from behind his desk.
Kynight narrowed her optics and kicked Hook�s chair out from beneath him.
�Uugghh!� Hook cried as he hit the floor. Starscream smiled and chuckled as Hook looked up an Kynight.
�Serves you right, Hook! Come on �Night, let�s go!� Starscream called as he turned to leave.
Kynight turned towards Starscream smiled, kicked Hook, and then followed. Hook cursed as he grabbed his leg, �bitch!�
Kynight turned quickly and said, �That�s Queen bitch to you!� Starscream grabbed Kynight�s arm and pulled her out of the room.
***
�You are trouble! Why did I agree to this?!� Starscream yelled at the entrance to Deception�s headquarters.
�I can�t help that I can�t fly! Just get us down!� Kynight screamed back, as she placed her hands on her hips.
Starscream growled, then grabbed Kynight, �Aarrgghh! Starscream, what are you doing?�
Starscream jumped into the air, muttering about females being more trouble then they�re worth and exited the Decepticon�s headquarters.
***
Raggletag smiled triumphantly at his finished product. Two blue crystals glimmered with silver metal, shining in Raggletags work light.
�Done.� Raggletag sighed, Now all I need is Kynight.�
Starscream landed and dropped Kynight to the beach.
�You jerk! You are such a scum sucker!� Kynight screamed at Starscream as she grabbed a handfull of sand and threw it at him.
Starscream side stepped, chuckling to himself as he did so.
�We have a deal, Kynight, your freedom for some of you�re technology.� Starcsream replied as he stood over Kynight.
Kynight blew out of her mouth, �Well, help me up and I�ll give it to you.�
Starscream nodded and held out his hand to Kynight. Kynight took his hand and pulled him down, then straddled him.
�Don�t say I never did you any favor, Star!� Kynight giggled as she placed a Stink bomb in Starscream�s hand, Star looked at it,as Kynight took off.
Turning to see Kynight in her car mode, and heading towards the Ark, Starscream sighed, then looked at the Stink bomb as it began to smoke.
�Aagghh!!� Starscream screamed as he was hit full blast by the bomb.
�That Bitch!� Starscream yelled as he passed out on the beach.
***
Kynight spun around and watched as a cloud formed around the area she had just left.
�Hahahahaha!� Kynight burst out laughing, thene turned and speeded towards the Ark and her sister.
�Lord Megatron?� Soudwave asked as he stopped beside his leader.
�Yes, Soundwave, what is it?� Megatron asked as he looked up at Soundwave.
Soundwave paused, then continued, � I do not believe that Kynight rewiring was succesful.�
Megatron�s expression froze and he asked, �What do you mean?�
�I have looked more closely at her system and she has some Decepticon technology already implanted in her system. Therefor, we could not rewire something that already has Decepticon security in it into a Decepticon.� Sounwave reported.
�That little� �Megatron started to laugh. Kynight had so much to offer, he had to have her.
***
Eolian paused, then let out a yell. Ratchet turned and asked, �What�s wrong?�
�Nothing, Kynight is on her way back! Come on, let�s go and meet her!� Eolian yelled as she ran out of Ratchet�s repair bay.
***
Kynight speeded towards the Ark, as she picked up Kylord�s lifesigns.
Quickly turning 22.03 degrees to her left, Kynight homed in on Kylord�s life sign.
Relaying a message towards the Ark. Kynight then took off at her fastest speed in a western direction.
Megatron frowned at Starscream�s still form.
�Megatron, what about Starscream?� Thundercracker asked as he placed his hand over his face to try to keep the burning sensation away.
�By the moons of Cybertron!! It really burns!� Srapper complained as he waved his hand in frone of his face.
�Let us leave, Starscream can wait! I want the female!� Megatron ordered as he took to the air.
The other Deception�s looked at each other as Deadhead commented, �We�ve had nothing but trouble since Megatron saw that female.�
The others murmured amongst themselves as they took off after their leader.
***
�Kynight�s picked up 'Lord�s lifesigns!! Let�s move out!� Eolian ordered as she emerged from the Ark to her sisters and waiting Autobots.
�Lord, but�� Optimus began as Eolian yelled, �Transform and take off!�
Optimus and the Autobots wathced as Lis and Mis transformed and merged into one fighter jet with Eolian beside them.
Glacterra quickly hit the side of their ship and a sled emerged from it. Glacterra jumped on it and hit the thrusters, taking off in the same direction.
Optimus turned to his Autobots and ordered, �Autobots, transform and roll out!� The Autobots did as ordered and followed the fembots.
***
�Megatron, I have her location,� Soudwave reported to his leader.
�Good! Let�s get her!� Megatron exclaimed as he adjusted his flight pattern to intercept Kynight.
Kynight slowed and scanned the area. If Kylord was here, he was playing games.
Coming to a stop, Kynight transformed and quickly began her hunt.
***
The Decepticons were not happy about Megatron�s obsession with the female, but he was still their leader and they knew that it would not last long after he had her.
***
Optimus Prime pushed his engine into overdrive.
�Optimus, you can�t keep his place! We�ll burn out our engines!� Hoist yelled as he slid a little farther behind.
�I know, Hoist, but I have a feeling the Deceptions are closer to them than we are, and I fear what may happen.� Optimus yelled back.
�Then let�s burn rubber!� Sunstreaker yelled as he took off.
Sideswipes, Jazz, Tracks, and the other sports car took off after Sunstreaker. Optimus remained quiet, hoping everything was going to be alright.
***
Kynight stopped in his tracks, and turned quickly to come face to face with his sister.
�Hello, Lord, did you think that you could get rid of me that easily?� Kynight asked her brother.
�No, but I had hoped otherwise, let�s talk about this.� Kylord said as he backed up a step and placed his hand behind his back.
�Get your hands�� Kynight began as Kylord suddenly threw something at her. The fog pellet went off as Kynight went for cover.
***
Another bump, and Raggletag wondered about Kynight�s weapon in his storage compartment. He knew Optimus Prime was worried about the whole situation, but he kept his own council.
***
Eolian cursed as Kynight radioed in and reported that Kylord was on the move and she was going after him.
***
Megatron paused in his flight pattern as he saw smoke rise slightly the east of their position.
�There! Let�s go!� Megatron ordered as he took off in that direction.
Raggletag and Freezerburn are Tony Tuski characters.
(PLACE: Kynight�s dimensional ship, interior. Darkened, expect for monitor�s lights.)
Kynight was pissed off and it they didn�t find Kylord this time, she was going to scream, �Prepare to activate the Dimensional warp drive and shift dimensions.�
Eolian nodded by the light of her screen and gave the order, �Lis, Mis, Glacterra... check all systems and call out, all goes.� Eolian said as she plugged into her computer terminal. Kynight smiled into he darkened ship, a new exciting adventure awaited!

(Place: Earth, near the Ark, May, 1986.)
Raggletag was bored, he was sick to death of guard duty.
�Earth..... A boring day in the life of....� Freezerburn began in a rough sounding voice.
�Shut up, asshole!� Raggletag yelled, as he thought to himself, �Why of all the transformers on this base did I get stuck with this screw up?�
Just then, Ironhide came out of the Ark and overheard Raggletag�s comment.
�Okay, guys, what�s going on? You�re guard duty, not some cruise.� Ironhide said as he stopped a pace in front of the two.
�Uunnn, nothing boss, just thinking out loud.� Raggletag muttered. Suddenly the sky thundered with life as purple lightning flashed around within a sphere shape above the three.
�Holy Primus!� Ironhide yelled.
�By the golden spires!� Raggletag yelled as Freezerburn took off in the direction of the strange occurrence.
�You dumb shit! Get back here!� Ironhide yelled as alarms went off in the base and everyone came running.
Optimus came running out of the Ark, looking confused, �What�s going on?! There�s nothing on the screens! What set off the alarms!?�
�Don�t know! Haven�t... � Bumblebee began as Ironhide yelled, �Freezerburn, you idiot! Get back here!�
Ironhide was running after Freezerburn with Raggletag right behind him.
�Ironhide! What�s going on?!� Optimus yelled out as he moved towards them.
Ironhide turned to Prime and paused just long enough to say, �Freezerburn, Raggletag, and myself saw some kind of object in the sky! It was going in a southern direction and Freezerburn took off after it!�
Ironhide and Raggletag quickly transformed and followed Freezerburn. Optimus turned to his troops.
�This could be a Decepticon trick! Jazz, Sunstreaker, Huffer, Brawn, Sideswipe, with me! The rest of you be prepared for anything! Autobots! Transform and roll out!� Optimus ordered.
* * *
�Son of a black star!� Glacterra yelled as she and Eolian tried to bring the ship under control again.
�What the hell....� Lis began, �did we hit?!� Mis finished.
Kynight cursed under breathe and ordered, �Computer! Plug me into the main control chair!!� The ship responded and the main control chair activated, a huge spider-like pod came down from the ceiling and opened it�s tip, revealing a plug that merged Kynight into the ship�s systems.
Taking control, Kynight lowered the power levels and used thrusters to level the ship out. Quickly Kynight took notice that there were Transformers life signs close by.
�Oh, exhaust fumes!� Kynight yelled, she didn�t need this today. The ship�s landing was a rough one, but there seemed to be very little damage.
�Yell out if you are functioning!� Eolian ordered though the chaos.
�Okay!� Lis and Miss called out simultaneously.
�Go to hell......� Glacterra moaned.
�Good, but ladies, we�ve got company... Computer, let�s have a look.� Kynight said as she activated the long range scanners.
�One male Autobot.. two following him and six other s following them.� The computer reported.
Kynight narrowed her optics, �Lis, Mis.. Since out guests are Autobots and both of you wear Decepticons� badge you must stay here... repair any damage done.. Eolian, Glacterra, with me!� Kynight ordered as she unplugged herself and stood up.
* * *
Freezerburn slowed and took cover, waiting for some action to occur. Within a minute, Ironhide and Raggletag came to a stop and transformed looking at the ship that wasn�t there a moment before.
�What�s is going on?� Raggletag whispered to Ironhide. Ironhide turned as Optimus and the others arrived.
�This isn�t good.� Huffer moaned as they finished their transformations. Optimus noticed that Freezerburn was taking aim at the ship. Looking at the ship, Optimus saw that the hatch was opening.
�Freezerburn! No!� Optimus yelled out.
Freezerburn turned and was about to say something when, �I wouldn�t do that if I were you.� Kynight said as she walked down off the ramp. All the Autobots turned to see Kynight as she, Glacterra, and Eolian came out of the ship.
Optimus quickly noted, �Autobots.�
Raggletag whispered, �Yeah, female Autobots.�
Ironhide snickered and came forward with Optimus Prime as Freezerburn bitched, �Shit! I hoped for some fighting! This sucks!�
Kynight glanced at Freezerburn, then sideways at Glacterra. Whispering to herself, she said, �This is not funny.� As Kynight rolled her optics Skyward.
Optimus paused and asked, �Excuse me?�
Kynight quickly coughed and smiled sweetly, �Oh, just something I picked up. My name is Kynight, this is Eolian, and Glacterra.�
Optimus cocked his head sideways as he said, �I see. Well, I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. Ironhide here is my lieutenant. Your ship didn�t show on our radar, what kind of ship is it?�
�And what the hell was the light-show about?� Ironhide added.
Eolian glanced at Kynight, �How many times do we gotta go through this?� she asked. Kynight sighed and rolled her optics skyward again.
�Ug, through what?� Huffer wondered out loud.
�Yeah, machine, what you talking about?� Jazz asked the fembots. Kynight growled softly as the Autobots glanced around confused.
�Eolian! Do you have exhaust fumes in your central computer?!� Kynight screamed as Eolain flew behind Glacterra, wide-opticed. Optimus placed his rifle across his other arm and watched as the one called Kynight placed her hand on her forehead, looking tired.
* * *
Ravage moved a step closer to the strange ship, as he overheard Ironhide�s comment on the light show.
�Megatron may like to hear this.� Soundwave told Ravage. Ravage transformed as he returned to Soundwave and began to record the conversation.
* * *
Kynight turned to the Autobots with one optic closed and a stubborn look on her face plate.
�It�s like this, my brothers,� Kynight began, while Raggletag made a face at Kynight�s comment.
�We are looking for a criminal from our home world. He is very dangerous and wanted for many crimes. How we got here is top secret technology that you may not have at this time. Giving you this information could prove fatal, we are Autobots, as you can see, so I beg you take our word on this matter.� Kynight explained to the assembled Autobots and hidden Decepticons.
�Why can�t you tell us how you got here? What kind of technology it is?!� Brawn demanded loudly.
�Yeah, what, do you think you�re better then us?� Sunstreaker asked cockily.
Optimus thought for a moment before saying, �Autobots do not lie. We should take their word for it. But can you at least tell us where you�re from?�
Kynight frowned, what the heck, Autobots don�t lie, then slowly nodded, �Yes, our home lies far across the deep folds of space, it is called Paix.�
Optimus nodded, when suddenly black smoke poured our of Kynight�s ship.
Two female Decepticons came flying out of the ship yelling, The dimensional warp drive...� Lis said, �just blew it�s main circuit!� Mis finished.
The assembled Autobot�s quickly raised their weapons as Freezerburn gave a battle cry and started to run forward.
Kynight quickly tripped Freezerburn while yelling, �Glacterra, freeze him!�
Glacterra jumped started her refrigeration system and blasted Freezerburn. Freezerburn ignored the blast, but Glacterra moved into his path and flipped him onto his back. Freezerburn was surprised and showed it.
�Wait! Please stop!� Kynight yelled, as she jumped in front of Lis and Mis. Optimus paused and waited to see what would happen.
�Please.. Lis and Mis are my friends, they will do as I say. Trust me..� Kynight pleaded with Optimus Prime. Optimus looked deeply into Kynight�s optics, feeling he knew her for some reason, Optimus nodded, �Very well. Autobots, put away your weapons.�
�What do you mean, Optimus?� Brawn asked loudly.
�But we�ll be defenseless! What if they attack?� Huffer asked.
�Oh, my fellow machine, if only we could get that lucky.� Raggletag whispered to Huffer, with a subtle elbow, as Huffer gave him a strange look. Kynight smiled softly at Raggletag, she didn�t hear all of what he said but had a good idea, he was definitely a charmer.
Ironhide looked at their ship and commented to Optimus Prime, �They�re going to need help repairing their ship.�
Optimus nodded, �You�re right. They�ll need our help.�
* * *
Soundwave transformed back to robot mode and left the area, thinking to himself, �These fembots are strange. Autobots and Decepticons working together. That ship, what kind of secrets does it hold? Megatron must be noticed of this.�
* * *
Kynight smiled at Optimus, �Thank you, but unless you have someone that can fix a dimensional warp drive, we might be better off by ourselves.�
�A dimensional what? Freezerburn, you idiot, stop that!� Raggletag yelled as Freezerburn and Glacterra began to circling each other. Ironhide quickly moved in on Freezerburn as Optimus sighed.
Kynight frowned and called, �Glacterra, enough! Play time is over!� Glacterra snarled as Eolian moved in on her. Ironhide was having some of the same troubles with Freezerburn as he moved in on him. Optimus sighed to himself. Kynight turned to Optimus. Both of then shared a look, as Raggletag moved to help Ironhide with Freezerburn.
�This couldn�t get any worse.� Brawn muttered.
�This will only be more trouble.� Huffer whined. Ironhide and Raggletag finally wrestle Freezerburn to the ground when Glacterra reactivated her refrigeration system.
�Aarrgghh!� Eolian yelled as she quickly back off, holding her ice caked hands. Glacterra turned towards the trio, as Kynight quickly placed herself between them.
* * *
Soundwave arrived at Decepticons headquarters and moved along it�s darkened corridors, until he came to Megatron�s throne room. Pausing Soundwave then entered the room to report his finding.
* * *
�Now Glacterra, I ain�t in the mood for this. I know you like to fight, my friend, but this is not the time or place, or haven�t you noticed?� Kynight asked Glacterra softly, but yet firmly. Glacterra blinked and titled her head sideways like a child trying to figure out a problem.
�That�s right, it�s me Kynight and I wouldn�t lie to you, would I?� Kynight asked as Freezerburn shook off Ironhide.
�No, Kynight, you wouldn�t do that, I�ll stop.� Glacterra said, as Freezerburn got up and shook off Raggletag.
�Look out! He�s loose!� Raggletag screamed as Freezerburn broke loose.
* * *
�Well done, Soundwave. I am pleased.� Megatron said as he listened to the end of the tape.
�But what does this mean?� Starscream asked as he brought his hand to his face plate.
�My dear Starscream, didn�t you listen?� Megatron asked as he turned to his troops. Most of them turned to each other and shrugged their shoulders. Megatron rolled his optics, �Soundwave.�
Soundwave rewound and played part of the tape again.
�The dimensional warp drive... � Lis said, just blew it�s main circuit.� Mis finished.
Starscream gasped, �Dimensional warp drive!�
Megatron smiled, �YES! And it must be capture for the Decepticon cause! Hahaha.... �
* * *
Freezerburn gave a battle cry, as Kynight turned partly and held out her arm.
�Freezerburn! Stop!� Optimus yelled as he began to move in, to stop Freezerburn. Freezerburn was closing in, when Kynight slid her slicers out. Stopping just short of the blade, Freezerburn just missed getting cut.
�Now,� Kynight began as she turned to Freezerburn, �didn�t I tell you no to do that?�
Freezerburn looked at Kynight�s slicer, then at her. Raggletag frowned as Jazz whispered, �Looks like Freezerburn gotta a new friend....�
Sunstreaker rolled his optics skyward as Sideswipe chuckled under his breath.
�Freezerburn, enough.� Optimus ordered as he came up to Freezerburn and touched his shoulder.
Kynight smiled, thinking to herself, �He�s a lot like Glacterra and that means I maybe able to influence him, like I do with Glacterra.�
Raggletag turned to Ironhide and whispered, �Didn�t they say something about a dimensional drive?�
Ironhide looked at the fembots as Eolian came forward and said, �Yes, a dimensional warp drive.�
�We are travelers and looking for a criminal from our home world. His name is �Lord, med-height. Blue-green in color.� Kynight said as she placed her weight on her right leg.
�Wait a minute!� Brawn exclaimed, �What�s about this dimensional warp drive?�
Kynight smiled and winked at him, Brawn backed up a step as Kynight placed her hands on her hips. Ironhide smiled as she looked at Raggletag, he didn�t look to happy right now.
Sunstreaker whispered to his brother, �Looks like Rags has a thing for �Night.� Sideswipe nodded in agreement.
Sunstreaker nodded to his brother as Optimus came up to Kynight, �Just what is this dimensional warp drive?�
�It allows us to shirt dimensions.� Eolian sang out as she came to stand beside Glacterra. Kynight nodded, a little uncertain, �Now do you understand? Out technology can be dangerous to you, and if it would fall into the wrong hands...�
�Oh, I can just feel the trouble brewing.� Huffer moaned.
Optimus turned to his troops, �Yes, I see what you�re saying now.�
Kynight smiled and nodded, �Good! Lis, Miss! Let�s open the back up while Eolian gets her tools. Glacterra, go and check the main computer and see what needs repairs!� The fembots instantly moved to do Kynight�s bidding.
Turning cheerfully to the Autobots, Kynight winked. �So just how far is your base?� Optimus chuckled, Kynight�s voice unit totally changed, as did her stance, standing straight with her shoulders back and her arms behind her.
�Whoa bros....� Ironhide whispered to Raggletag and Freezerburn.
�Son of a ....� Eolian yelled as Kynight interrupted her, �Eolian!�
Eolian marched out of the back of the ship. Stopping at the end of the ramp, Eolian placed her hands of her hips and stared at Kynight.
Kynight moaned and said, � I don�t want to know, do I?�
Eolian sighed, �The main control chip is burned out, so is the wiring to the engine. I believe, we hit, while coming out of warp and into Earth�s space, that is why we didn�t pick it up, a satellite. There are some pieces jammed into our ship. I can rebuild the chip, but we�ll need to get more wire. I don't know if there is more damage, and we still have to look for �Lord.�
Kynight frowned, �Optimus, have you seen out criminal? And perhaps we can buy some wiring somewhere?�
Optimus turned to his troops, �Anyone know of this �Lord?�
Everyone shook their heads no, but Freezerburn and Raggletag. Kynight looked at them.
�What do you say he looked like? What�s his transformation?� Raggletag asked as he came up to Kynight with Freezerburn beside him.
�He�s a blue-green and a pick up truck. Have you seen him?� Kynight asked as she looked deeply at the two.
�Think Freezerburn?� Raggletag asked as he turned to his companion.
�Gotta be, it�s too neat.� Freezerburn said as Optimus came up beside Freezerburn and Kynight.
�What did you see?� Optimus asked Raggletag and Freezerburn. The two shared a look and Raggletag shifted his weight.
�Yesterday on guard duty, we picked up a strange signal and checked it out. We saw a bluish pick-up moving away form the signal.� Raggletag said as Freezerburn yelled out, But the signal disappeared and there was nothing there!�
Kynight placed both her hands on her hips, then started to pace.
�Kynight?� Eolian asked as she stepped off the ramp. Stopping, Kynight turned and hit her right hand into her left, �It must be him!�
�What�s he wanted for?� Brawn asked. Kynight looked at him, and Brawn flinched on the inside, it was like Kynight was looking right into his soul.
Slowly Kynight said, Theft, betraying the home work, murder. Name it and he�s done it.� Optimus was worried a bit now, this �Lord was dangerous, he turned to his troops seeing what their expressions were.
�This dude is bad news.� Jazz said as Huffer started to whine again.
Ironhide frowned, �We better check out the Ark and inform the others of what is going on.� Optimus nodded in agreement.
�Optimus Prime?� Kynight asked as she came up to him. Optimus turned to Kynight, �Yes?�
�May I borrow these two warriors to check out the place were they saw �Lord?� Kynight asked.
Optimus looked at Raggletag and Freezerburn, �I think that is a good idea. Freezerburn please be careful,� Optimus said as he looked a Freezerburn in the optics. Freezerburn gave Optimus a grin and Raggletag moaned. Optimus place his hand over his optics and sighed heavily.
�Great! Let�s get started!� Kynight exclaimed as she grabbed Freezerburn�s and Raggletag�s arms, �Let�s go already!�
Optimus watched as Kynight began to drag Raggletag and Freezerburn away with her. Eolian called out suddenly, �Night!�
Kynight stopped and turned as Eolian came running up to her, �Be careful, we�ll be waiting to hear from you.�
Kynight smiled, �No problem, but if the ship still has it�s thrusters, I want it moved to a safer position.�
Ironhide walked up to Freezerburn as Kynight finished her last word. �Well, the safest place is the Ark.� Ironhide commented as he moved behind Freezerburn, seeing him begin to shift his weight.
�Yes, can you move your ship there? That way we can protect it from the Decepticons.� Optimus urged.
Lis and Mis hissed from the top of the ramp. Kynight sighed. Optimus turned his head and watched as Lis and Mis walked down off the ramp. Suddenly, Freezerburn gave a cry and Ironhide nailed him in the back of the head. Everyone turned to see Freezerburn hit the ground, unconscious.
Raggletag bent and checked Freezerburn, �He�s okay, just off-line.�
Kynight turned to Optimus, �Optimus Prime. Kynight placed her hands on her hips as Optimus thought to himself, �Mistake number two.�
�Many of my friends are Decepticons and are good machines. I�m sure that we can talk to these Decepticons?� Kynight asked as she tapped her foot, this seemed so odd to her.
�Are you nuts?!� Brawn exclaimed.
�Megatron a good machine?!� Jazz said as he began to laugh.
�Megatron isn�t the talking type, �Night.� Raggletag said as he chuckled to himself.
Kynight frowned and thought to herself, �Damn, this is just my luck.�
�Oh well, that doesn�t mean all �Cons are bad.� Eolian said.
Optimus sighed, �You�re right. Lis, Mis, I apologize for my comment. We are not used to friendly Decepticons.� Lis and Mis looked at each other and then turned back to Optimus.
�Apology...� Mis said, �accepted.� Lis finished.
�Good!� Kynight sang out. "Rag, guess you�re the lucky machine that gets to take me to the place you saw �Lord last.�
Raggletag grinned as Kynight began to transformed. Ironhide came up behind Raggletag and slapped him in the back of the head lightly, �Watch your manners, kid.�
Raggletag laughed and winked at this fellow Autobots as he transformed. Kynight stared her engine and race it, �Well, which way?!�
Raggletag started his engine and headed in a Northwest direction. Optimus watched Raggletag lead Kynight away and then Kynight speed up and slowed down, playing cat and mouse with him.
�Oh, poor Rags! I wouldn�t want to drive next to that!� Huffer complaint. Optimus quickly turned to Eolian, Lis, Mis, and noticed Glacterra had joined them. Eolian winked at Optimus and burst out laughing. Soon everyone joined in.
* * *
Megatron gave Soundwave a look, �Well?� he asked.
Soundwave turned to Megatron, �Ravage reports that the captain of the ship and one Autobot have gone off in a Northwest direction.�
Megatron laughed, �Good! Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp! Go and make a run on the ship and see what the Autobots are up to. Soundwave eject Laserbeak and have him follow the two Autobots. The eject Buzzsaw and have him check the Ark!�
Megatron watched as he ordered were followed, �Soon that ship and it�s secrets will be mine!�
�Some on, Soundwave let us go. Contact Thrust, Dirge, and Ramjet and have them on stand by!� Megatron said as he took to the air.
* * *
�Oh, come on, Rags!� Kynight said as she raced a head and laughed.
Raggletag gulped and yelled, �I�m not built for speed and besides, what�s your hurry?!�
Kynight frowned, he really didn�t have any faith in himself, but she liked him anyhow, �Raggletag! Wait a second, did you just pick up anything on your sensors?�
Raggletag frowned and checked his systems, �I�m not sure, what do you got?� he asked as Kynight slide beside him.
Raggletag waited, but Kynight didn�t answer him. Raggletag thought to himself, �Trouble, and �Night knows it.�
* * *
�Okay, so we can get the sip to the Ark, but we may do more damage then good?� Prime asked Eolian. Eolian opened her mouth but said nothing. Suddenly the fembots took off.
�Optimus, no time, there�s something going down! Kynight says that some kind of metal bird id following them and before she thought that something or someone was watching us!� Eolian yelled as the two Decepticons took to the air and Glacterra closed up the entrance to the ship.
Optimus quickly scanned the area and ordered his troops, �Something�s up! Be prepared for anything!�
* * *
Starscream took the lead as Thundercracker and Skywarp fell into the drive behind him.
�Targets below! Open fire at will!� Starscream yelled as he began to open fire on the Autobots below.
* * *
Ironhide looked up as he heard the sound of jet engines, �Optimus!�
Optimus nodded as the jets opened fire on them. The Autobots surprise, the blasts bounced off a shield and sparked violently.
�Whoa! Cool!� Sideswipe exclaimed as the shield partly materialized.
Megatron frowned and went lower to the ground to avoid Autobot radar detection, and the other Decepticons followed, including Soundwave who had just rejoined them after repairing Thundercracker.
Starscream caught up with Megatron and repeated. �Well What to do with her?�
Megatron paused briefly before saying, �I plan to have Soundwave rewire her logic circuits. With her incredible skill, she will make an excellent addition to the Decepticons.�
Starscream quickly produced a huge smirk on his face, and half a second later started laughing uncontrollably. He laughed so hard, he nearly flew out of control and banged into Soundwave, before straightening up. Soundwave gave Star a stern look. He was not amused.
But Star didn�t care. He then flew back up next to Megatron, still chuckling, and asked cynically, �Huh! Are you sure that�s all you want, Megatron?�
Now all the other Decepticons started laughing amongst themselves. Even Soundwave showed signs of amusement. Megatron remained silent.
Starscream continued, �Hmm� Where is she going to sleep? Your quarters, perhaps?
Megatron quickly jerked his head towards Starscream, almost as if he thought Star was psychic. Starscream saw the expression on Megatron�s face plate, and laughed wickedly in triumph. "Ha ha ha�!! I knew it! She�s gonna be your new play-bot! Ha ha ha!�
All of a sudden, Megatron stopped dead in his flight path and took aim at Starscream with his fusion cannon before screaming, �SILENCE!!! My patience wears thin with your, Starscream! Another word and I�ll blast you down to the beach below, fool!�
Starscream stopped laughing, but still had a smile on his face when Kynight came back on-line.
Without warning, she nailed Megatron in the chin, Megatron�s head flew back and he crashed to the beach, dropping Kynight as he hit the ground. Megatron slowly got onto his feet. Shaking his head dizzily, he thought to himself, �Whoa! What a punch for such a fragile looking creature!�
Starscream and the other Decepticons landed on the beach, as Kynight got up on her feet Starscream walked up to Megatron and Snickered �Heh, what�s the matter Megatron, cant�t handle the rough lovin�?�
Megatron growled, as Kynight removed a dart from her helmet and hurled it at Starscream with precise aim, hitting Star directly in the middle of his waist. Starscream gasped and curled over in pain. Now it was Megatron�s turn to laugh. �Now the tables have turned,� he thought to himself.
Kynight casually walked up to the still hurting Starscream and threatened, �Next time I�ll aim a little lower.�
Starscream slowly lifted his head to look at Kynight, as she pulled back her arm and bashed him squarely right in his jaw. Starscream flew right on his back and remained silent.
Kynight loomed over Starscream and inquired, �How�s that for rough lovin�, Starscream." as she shook the pain off her hand.
Now Megatron was out-in rolling with laughter, as his Decepticons looked at each other.
Kynight frowned as she looked at Megatron. �What do you think is so funny?�
Megatron chuckled and looked at Kynight. Bowing slightly he offered Kynight his hand. �My dear Lady, you should rest after such a fall.�
Kynight knocked Megatron�s hand away, �Rest? Exhaughts fumes! You�re crazy if you think I�m staying here!�
Megatron frowned as Kynight turned and ran right into Bonecrusher. Bonecrusher nailed Kynight one, knocking her off-line again.
***
Raggletag watched as Eolian paced between a stand of rocks. Slingshot yelled out, �Stop your damn pacing, will ya? You�re makin� me nervous!�
Silverbolt sighed at Slingshot�s outburst and shared a look with Raggletag. Eolian quickly turned, growling and aimed her weapon at Slighshot. Before anyone could react, she let loose a high frequency wave, knocking him on his afterburner. Everyone turned a surprised optic to Eolian as she sat down shaking with worry.
�It�s been too long! Kynight should have been back by now!� Eolian said, �What do you mean?! Why are your worried now and not before??!� Raggletag nearly yelled at Eolian.
Eolian looked at Raggeltag and burst out crying, �She hasn�t checked in! It�s been too long! I wish she�d carry a weapon! Oh this is my fault, we should have gone after them in the first place!�
�You mean that Kynight doesn�t carry a weapon of any kind?� Silverbolt asked. Raggletag swallowed hard as he felt his tank turn, things looked bad.
***
Megatron smiled, �Well done, Bonecrusher!�
Starscream moaned as Megatron moved over Kynight. Bonecrusher backed away as Megatron picked her up and turned to Star.
�Get up, you fool. Kynight has enough skill to take you down, Starscream, and I believe that your quarters will do nicely for her to stay in.� Megatron retorted as Starscream�s mouth dropped open. Megatron then took to the air as the other Deceptions laughed at the whole situation.
�Please! My fellow �Cons, do think� just where is Starscream going to stay? Mmm?� Deadend asked.
The Decepticon army moaned and sighed as they began to take to the air. This female was a lot of trouble.
***
�Kynight doesn�t carry any kind of blaster. She says that it would get in her way, that she needs something light weight and easy to carry, so she can travel quickly.� Eolian sniffed,
Let�s get back to the Ark.� Skydive said quietly, Everyone nodded, it was agreed. The Aerialbolts and Eolian took to the air as Raggletag transformed thinking to himself,� A weapon easy to carry and small� perhaps something even fashionable?�
***
Glacterra sighed and Freezerburn move slightly.
�Okay, this is the wiring� I hape that it will work in your system?� Wheeljack asked.
He began bugging Glacterra awhile ago to get a look at their ship.
Spike chuckled and Bumblebee rolled his optics skyward. Suddenly Lis and Mis came flying out of the ship and Glacterra whipped around. The Autobots weren�t used to Deceptions so close, and tensed slightly.
Glacterra ran to Lis and Mis with Freezerburn close to her side.
�What are they doing, Wheeljack?� Spike asked his friend as the fembots waited.
Ironhide came out of the Ark with Perceptor and Ratchet right bihind him.
Glacterra turned to Freezerburn, �Stay, I�ll be right back.� Freezerburn nodded and baked up a few steps.
Optimus Prme came out with the other Autobots as Grimlock and his Dinobots joined them.
�Silverbolt just contacted us, they�re on their way back. Something about Eolian freaking out on them.�
�Me, Grimlock, want to see strangers.� Grimlock retorted as the other Dinobots nodded. Suddenly Glacterra�s back opened and wings emerged. Nearly see-through and looked to be made of some kind of crystal, the sun�s light shimmered through them in a rainbow of colors.
�Wow!� Spike gasped as Freezerburn sighed.
�Pretty�� Slag muttered.
Lis and Mis transformed and shot straight up into the air as many Autobots fingered their weapons. The two jets took off as Glacterra gently took to the air.
�I believe they are not wings, but more within the realm of fins.� Preceptor noted.
�I believe you�re right.� Ratchet said.
Suddenly the Aerialbots came into view, with the two Decepticons below them. Eolian was at a point below the Aerialbots and in front of Lis and Mis. Glacterra stopped in flight and waited. The Aerialbots transformed and landed in front of the Autobots.
�Decepticons!� Slingshot muttered in disgust as Eolian, Mis and Lis transformed in air and with Glacterra saying, �It�s all my fault�..�
***
Megatron smiled triumphantly as he landed in Decepticon�s headquarters. The female was curing a streak and trying to break his grip on her.
Kynight frowned as she thought, �This is taking too long. I gotta contact my sisters, by now they�re worried sick!.�
�It�s not your fault! I should have gone after them to begin with!� Eolian wailed as they landed and began walking towards the Ark and the waiting Autobots.
�No, we know that Kynight would�� Mis said. �Get mad for us spoiling her fun!� Lis finished.
�Oh! Tire treads! Let�s go after her and argue about it later!� Glacterra exclaimed as Raggletag pulled up and tranformed.
�Glacterra�s right! Let�s go! Eolian ordered.
***
�Put me down!� Kynight ordered as Megatron walked the main bridge of Decepticon headquarters.
Laserbeak squawked and shook with fury at the sight of Kynight. The rest of the Decepticon army soon assembled. Megatron ordered Soundwave to prepare for Kynight�s rewiring as he called, �Motormaster!�
Motormaster came to Megatron�s call.
�Hold her and don�t take your optics off her for a moment!� Megatron ordered as he walked over to the main computer and contacted Buzzsaw.
Kynight stopped fighting as she saw Optimus Prime and her friends on the computer screen. Looking at the computer, Kynight noticed a plug station.
Kynight smiled to herself and turned slightly to Motormaster, �Hello, handsome, got a girlfriend?�
Motormaster blinked as Kynight tilted her head sideways. Within a minute Kynight freed one of her arms and was beginning to remove her helmet. Motormaster smiled and let Kynight go as she removed her helmet and let her wire hair down.
Kynight put her arm around Motormaster and winked at him.
�Well, well�..� Motormaster murmured. Megatron turned as Soundwave entered the room.
�Everything is ready, leader.� Soundwave reported. Megatron smiled, then turned to see Motormaster wrap his arms around Kynight.
�Motormaster!!� Megatron screamed as he lunged at him. Kynight quickly removed herself as the rest of the Decepticons saw what was happening. Megatron wrestled Motormaster down to the floor. Kynight took the opening and plugged into the Decepticon�s computer.
***
�We are�� Mis said, �ready.� Lis finished.
�Glacterra?� Eolian asked as she walked down off the ramp.
�I�m ready, let�s go!!� Glacterra yelled as she patted her rifle.
The fembots emerged from their ship to find the Autobots waiting for them.
�Eolian, if you�re going after Kynight, you�ll need help.� Optimus Prime said as he came forward and raised his weapon to his shoulder.
�Thank you Opti�� Eolian�s voice trailed off as Lis and Mis gasped.
�Optimus, what�s wrong with them?� Spike asked. The females started to laugh as the Autobots looked around confused. Eolian smiled as she turned to Spike.
�We don�t need to worry, Kynight just checked in. She has Megatron and some machine called Motormaster fighting each other.� Eolian chuckled.
�How�d you know?� Jazz asked as the females began to snicker.
�Oh my!! Poor Star!� Glacterra laughed as she grabbed her tank. The Autobots looked around, trying to figure out what was happening.
�Please forgive us.� Eolian sighed, �Kynight contacted us by using these.� Eolian showed them her wrists, which were lit up with communications.
�Fantastic!� Wheeljack exclaimed as he looked closer, �You have compact input/output systems! The technology involved! Perhaps, may I have a closer look?�
Eolian shook her head no as her sisters became quiet. Wheeljack sighed in disappointment, but understood why.
***
Megatron and Motormaster had been wrestling only a few minutes when Starscream took notice that Kynight was using the computer.
�Megatron! She�s using the computer!� Starscream yelled as he aimed his weapon at Kynight.
Kynight unplugged and whipped around us as Starscream blasted her with his null ray. Megatron and Motormaster quickly stopped and got up. Kynight slid to the gound as Megatron said, �Good work, Starscream. She is tricky enough to be a Decepticon. Soundwave�..� Megatron�s voice trailed off os Kynight got up.
�Impossible!� Starscream gasped and all the other activities stopped Kynight growled softly, �I warn you, Star.�
Starscream gulped and backed up a step. Aiming his null ray at Kynight, she began to chuckle.
�How far can you run in an astro-second, Starscream? Because that�s about all the time your null ray will give you.� Kynight smiled.
Megatron smiled. �You are much stronger than you look, Kynight. Soundwave, let us begin.�
Megatron took a step towards Kynight. Kynight turned from Starscream to Megatron and slid her slicers into place.
Soundwave paused and aimed his weapon at her, some of the Decepticons did the same. Kynight frowned as she glanced around.
�You have me at a great disadvantage, Megatron, but before I surrender, what are you going to do with me?� Kynight asked as her slicers went in.
�My dear, I believe you�ll make a wonderful addition to my army. I will have Soundwave rewire your logic circuits.� Megatron said with glee.
Kynight blinked and hid her smile. �I seem to have limited choice in the matter.�
Megatron nodded and walked up to Kynight. Soundwave moved behind her as she turned slightly, but not fast enough. Kynight slid into Megatron�s arms as she was knocked off-line once again.
***
�Okay, so Kynight is fine and she nailed Starscream one, then got Megatron and Motormaster to fight each other, right?� Ironhide asked Eolian.
Eolian smiled and nodded, yes. Ironhide turned to Optimus and both of them began laughing. Everyone started to laugh, but Raggletag. Frowning, Raggletag went into the Ark and using Teletran, he began to desing a weapon for Kynight.
***
Soundwave was excited, but remained still. Megatron leaned forward. �Soundwave?�
Soundwave looked up at his leader. �Her system is slightly different, but I shall be done shortly.�
Megatron smiled and leaned back thinking to himself, �Things are looking well. Soon Kynight will be one of my warriors and will belong to me.�
Soundwave closed Kynight�s cerebral casing and went to recharge her. Megatron nodded to Soundwave and he pulled the switch and recharged her.
Kynight moaned and sat up. Pulling her hand through her hair, Kynight looked around the room in silence.
�My dear, you are up on duty next.� Megatron said as he held out his hand to Kynight.
Turning to Megatron Kynight blinked and answered, �Of course, my Lord. Your will shall be done.�
Megatron threw back his head and laughed as Kynight took Megatron�s hand.
Megatron stopped laughing and brought Kynight to him. �Let me intoduce you to the rest of our army.�
Kynight smiled and tilted her head in and slightly nodded, �Yes, my Lord.�
***
Raggletag paused as Wheeljack leaned over his shoulder, �Whatch ya makin� Raggs?�
�A weapon.� Raggletag answered as he connected two wires to a crystal.
�Oh, what kind? It looks small, who�s it for?� Wheeljack asked as he leaned down on one elbow watching Raggletag.
�It�s sorta like a welding laser. One that will cut metal quite easily, I hope.� Raggletag answered as he adjusted a circuit board.
�Oh, it looks more like a braclet of some kind. A female type weapon, who�s it for?� Wheeljack probed.
Raggletag stopped and looked up at Wheeljack, �Do you mind Wheeljack, I�m trying to work here.�
Wheeljack began to chuckle as he left the room.
***
Megatron entered the room with Kynight at his side. Starscream moaned as Motormaster backed up a step. Laserbeak shuttered slightly.
�My fellow Decepticons, meet our newest member-Kynight . My dear, you will be going on patrol with Starscream.� Megatron announced.
Kynight bowed to Megatron, �Yes my Lord.� Starscream made a face at them as Kynight turned to him.
�Then let�s not waste time here, let�s go, Star.� Kynight said as she walked up to Starscream.
Starscream turned to Megatron, who was smiling wickedly at them, �Go Starscream, show Kynight her quarters and then report for patrol.� Megatron chuckled softly as Starscream growled.
�Well, Star?� Kynight asked as she placed her hands on her hips.
�Fine, let�s go!� Starscream snarled, he was not happy.
***
�These are your quarters.� Starscream grumbled as Kynight stepped inside.
�It will do, but I really don�t know about being Megatron�s play-bot.� Kynight said as she turned to Starsscream and leaned against the door.. Starscream gasped as Kynight grabbed him and pulled him into his old quarters.
Letting the door close, Kynight watched as Starscream backed up, gulping like a fish out of water.
�You�re�..You�re not�..� Starscream tried to spit out as Kynight chuckled at Starscream�s expression.
�Of course not, you fool! You can�t rewire something into a Decepticon, when it already has Decepticon wiring in it!� Kynight exclaimed as Starscream blinked.
�You have�..� Starscream began. �Yes, I do, now help me Starscream!!� Kynight said as she cut off Starscream.
�Why should I help you!?� Starscream yelled back as the shock wore off.
�Well, I thought you might like your quarters back for starter!� Kynight yelled at Starscream.
Starscream stopped and the laughed, �I think we can help each other.�
Kynight slowly smiled as the began to make their plans.
***
Raggletag held up his work, made of silver base with titanium mixed in the frame. A circular piece that hooked around below the elbow, then another circular piece around the wrist and a ring for the middle finger. All connected together by wires that would be wrapped in metal tubes. Two crystal, one in the ring, the other on the wrist part.
Raggletag smiled as he aimed the weapon, and then fired it. A metal block, about six inches thick split in half.
***
�Remember, we have a deal. I get out of here and give me some of your technology, okay?� Starscream asked as he got up from his desk chair.
�Yes, agreed. Let�s go already.� Kynight responded as she got off her bed and headed for the door.
�You don�t know where you�re going! Behind me!?� Starscream ordered as he left the room Kynight sighed and looked towards the ceiling. �How do I get into these messes?�
***
Starscream reported for patrol duty with Kynight standing behind him.
�We�re going now, who are we relieving?� Starscream asked Hook.
�You�ll be replacing Dirge and Frenzy at the space bridge after you do a run by. So this is our new warrior? Not bad..� Hook chuckled from behind his desk.
Kynight narrowed her optics and kicked Hook�s chair out from beneath him.
�Uugghh!� Hook cried as he hit the floor. Starscream smiled and chuckled as Hook looked up an Kynight.
�Serves you right, Hook! Come on �Night, let�s go!� Starscream called as he turned to leave.
Kynight turned towards Starscream smiled, kicked Hook, and then followed. Hook cursed as he grabbed his leg, �bitch!�
Kynight turned quickly and said, �That�s Queen bitch to you!� Starscream grabbed Kynight�s arm and pulled her out of the room.
***
�You are trouble! Why did I agree to this?!� Starscream yelled at the entrance to Deception�s headquarters.
�I can�t help that I can�t fly! Just get us down!� Kynight screamed back, as she placed her hands on her hips.
Starscream growled, then grabbed Kynight, �Aarrgghh! Starscream, what are you doing?�
Starscream jumped into the air, muttering about females being more trouble then they�re worth and exited the Decepticon�s headquarters.
***
Raggletag smiled triumphantly at his finished product. Two blue crystals glimmered with silver metal, shining in Raggletags work light.
�Done.� Raggletag sighed, Now all I need is Kynight.�
Starscream landed and dropped Kynight to the beach.
�You jerk! You are such a scum sucker!� Kynight screamed at Starscream as she grabbed a handfull of sand and threw it at him.
Starscream side stepped, chuckling to himself as he did so.
�We have a deal, Kynight, your freedom for some of you�re technology.� Starcsream replied as he stood over Kynight.
Kynight blew out of her mouth, �Well, help me up and I�ll give it to you.�
Starscream nodded and held out his hand to Kynight. Kynight took his hand and pulled him down, then straddled him.
�Don�t say I never did you any favor, Star!� Kynight giggled as she placed a Stink bomb in Starscream�s hand, Star looked at it,as Kynight took off.
Turning to see Kynight in her car mode, and heading towards the Ark, Starscream sighed, then looked at the Stink bomb as it began to smoke.
�Aagghh!!� Starscream screamed as he was hit full blast by the bomb.
�That Bitch!� Starscream yelled as he passed out on the beach.
***
Kynight spun around and watched as a cloud formed around the area she had just left.
�Hahahahaha!� Kynight burst out laughing, thene turned and speeded towards the Ark and her sister.
�Lord Megatron?� Soudwave asked as he stopped beside his leader.
�Yes, Soundwave, what is it?� Megatron asked as he looked up at Soundwave.
Soundwave paused, then continued, � I do not believe that Kynight rewiring was succesful.�
Megatron�s expression froze and he asked, �What do you mean?�
�I have looked more closely at her system and she has some Decepticon technology already implanted in her system. Therefor, we could not rewire something that already has Decepticon security in it into a Decepticon.� Sounwave reported.
�That little� �Megatron started to laugh. Kynight had so much to offer, he had to have her.
***
Eolian paused, then let out a yell. Ratchet turned and asked, �What�s wrong?�
�Nothing, Kynight is on her way back! Come on, let�s go and meet her!� Eolian yelled as she ran out of Ratchet�s repair bay.
***
Kynight speeded towards the Ark, as she picked up Kylord�s lifesigns.
Quickly turning 22.03 degrees to her left, Kynight homed in on Kylord�s life sign.
Relaying a message towards the Ark. Kynight then took off at her fastest speed in a western direction.
Megatron frowned at Starscream�s still form.
�Megatron, what about Starscream?� Thundercracker asked as he placed his hand over his face to try to keep the burning sensation away.
�By the moons of Cybertron!! It really burns!� Srapper complained as he waved his hand in frone of his face.
�Let us leave, Starscream can wait! I want the female!� Megatron ordered as he took to the air.
The other Deception�s looked at each other as Deadhead commented, �We�ve had nothing but trouble since Megatron saw that female.�
The others murmured amongst themselves as they took off after their leader.
***
�Kynight�s picked up 'Lord�s lifesigns!! Let�s move out!� Eolian ordered as she emerged from the Ark to her sisters and waiting Autobots.
�Lord, but�� Optimus began as Eolian yelled, �Transform and take off!�
Optimus and the Autobots wathced as Lis and Mis transformed and merged into one fighter jet with Eolian beside them.
Glacterra quickly hit the side of their ship and a sled emerged from it. Glacterra jumped on it and hit the thrusters, taking off in the same direction.
Optimus turned to his Autobots and ordered, �Autobots, transform and roll out!� The Autobots did as ordered and followed the fembots.
***
�Megatron, I have her location,� Soudwave reported to his leader.
�Good! Let�s get her!� Megatron exclaimed as he adjusted his flight pattern to intercept Kynight.
Kynight slowed and scanned the area. If Kylord was here, he was playing games.
Coming to a stop, Kynight transformed and quickly began her hunt.
***
The Decepticons were not happy about Megatron�s obsession with the female, but he was still their leader and they knew that it would not last long after he had her.
***
Optimus Prime pushed his engine into overdrive.
�Optimus, you can�t keep his place! We�ll burn out our engines!� Hoist yelled as he slid a little farther behind.
�I know, Hoist, but I have a feeling the Deceptions are closer to them than we are, and I fear what may happen.� Optimus yelled back.
�Then let�s burn rubber!� Sunstreaker yelled as he took off.
Sideswipes, Jazz, Tracks, and the other sports car took off after Sunstreaker. Optimus remained quiet, hoping everything was going to be alright.
***
Kynight stopped in his tracks, and turned quickly to come face to face with his sister.
�Hello, Lord, did you think that you could get rid of me that easily?� Kynight asked her brother.
�No, but I had hoped otherwise, let�s talk about this.� Kylord said as he backed up a step and placed his hand behind his back.
�Get your hands�� Kynight began as Kylord suddenly threw something at her. The fog pellet went off as Kynight went for cover.
***
Another bump, and Raggletag wondered about Kynight�s weapon in his storage compartment. He knew Optimus Prime was worried about the whole situation, but he kept his own council.
***
Eolian cursed as Kynight radioed in and reported that Kylord was on the move and she was going after him.
***
Megatron paused in his flight pattern as he saw smoke rise slightly the east of their position.
�There! Let�s go!� Megatron ordered as he took off in that direction.
