TFP Star I

Darkness Rising Part 2

Next day Elena was looking what to wear. Well, she picked the usual. Even if they got visitors, a good appearance is important. When she was done, Silver came to tell that Bumblebee and Arcee had arrived. Elena went out from the door that leads to quarters of Optimus Prime.

"They're here," she said. In this, he only nodded and pick her up, in which she climbed to his shoulder.

They were on their way when they heard Ratchet question why there was three instead of two.

"Didn't you heard. Humans multiple," answered Arcee.

Elena facepalmed herself. By voice, it was a girl. Miko sounds Japanese. Oh great!

"If you're robots, who made you?" asked a young boy named Raf.

"Please..." said Ratchet. Not surprised.

Right, then they got to the command center. Elena was still sitting on the shoulder of Optimus, when he started to explain to children who they were and why they were here.

"So, what this Megatron or any of this have to do with us?" asked one name, Jack.

"Megatron hasn't been seen or heard a long time now," said Optimus. "But if his returned is imminent it could be catastrophic."

"And how it has to do with you?" continued Elena and jump off to the ground. "It's because Decepticons won't allow anyone standing in their way. No matter who, how or why? They simply don't care. Since you saw us, know about us, has put you in a huge risk."

"And why you're here?" asked Raf.

"I was found in old energon mine. As you can see I hardly survived," she said while showed her arm.

"Wow..." said one named Miko.

"What happened?" asked Jack.

"Energon is very flammable. There was an explosion in which almost had me," said Elena. "If it wasn't for them, I would be dead," she said and looked on Autobots. Then Silver came to look kids and was jump around them before Elena grab by its tail.

"Silver SweetStar, where are your manners?" she said to Silver.

"You got even pet? Awesome," asked Miko.

"Wolves are not pets. And Silver is more like a helper to me," said Elena while she went to others.

Optimus once more clear to the children that they have been noticed by both Autobots and Decepticon in which they need to be on their watch. Ratchet started they children won't be safe with them because they could get squeezed. Elena rolled her eyes. That what Ratchet thought on her, but now...please

Then sensors came on. It was agent Fowler. Elena got up since Stars were also known as consults in Cybertron, she has learned some in past three years. Agent Fowler came to tell that there have notice motorcycle and yellow Muscle car. It was obvious that Decepticons were back. For Optimus, they never left, since Earth was too valuable. Fowler said it should be best informed Pentagon, but like always Optimus didn't like to get any human in danger because of their fight. Agent Fowler accepts that Team Prime terms if they manage to do it under the radar. When he left, Elena let big sighed and collapsed on the floor.

"Are you okay?" asked Jack. When all three kids and Silver surround her.

"Politic is never easy." she said."I don't know how Stars handle this?"

"What Stars?" asked Raf.

"In Cybertron, Stars are the very rare name." started Elena. "They're known as consults, guides. They know all. Unfortunately, no one didn't hear them when the war started and they become targets for their knowledge."

"How you know this?" asked Jack.

"Because the one who saved me and gave these was one of them," said Elena meaning her left arm and leg. "Silver is one too, but she needed to hide her life signal from Decepticons, which is why she pick that form."

"What was she like?" asked Miko.

"Hugger," said Elena, when Silver was on her like wanting to hug her. "Still is." and gets up making Silver fall.

Right then came informed the life signal of Cliffjumper. Others went to investigate, while kids stayed with Ratchet. Elena and Silver in other hand went check more info by Star computer, while Ratchet explained ground bridge to the kids. When he tried to send all three to Tokyo, Silver let noise that was like a laugh.

"Do that, Ratchet and I'll tell Optimus about it," said Elena while was on the computer.

"What's that?" asked Raf meaning the Star Computer.

"Unlike that computer," said Elena point the big one. "Star computer hold knowledge of many things of Cybertron's past and records. Even all from the earth."

"Some short of a supercomputer?" asked Miko.

"Yes, but only Star knows how to use it," said Ratchet.

"Trust me. One hour in this and you have a headache for a week," said Elena.

Kids took time looked at the base. In that time Elena learned that Raf was a computer genius when he helps fix computer system for Ratchet. Elena kept looking on Star computer before she finds something.

"um..Ratchet. There's something wrong with this life signal." she said.

"What?" he asked.

"It' looks weird like..." she said before they got a message from Optimus to bridge them back. when they came back they just got away from the explosion. Miko was all with questions before Jack took her side.

Optimus asked Arcee what she saw. She told Cilffjumper wasn't himself. He was mutated. Butchered. The thought made her fall backward, which made Bumblebee and Elena worried.

"Arcee..." she said.

"I'm fine. Just little dizzy," said Arcee.

"Ratchet..." asked Elena.

Ratchet checked Arcee to find purple liquid, that was on her hand. Arcee said Cliffjumper was cover it. When Ratchet got a sample and ordered Arcee to sterilize bath, Silver started to act weird. Like there was something evil in that sample.

"Silver..." said Elena and hold her down. "Ratchet, seal it." Ratchet put it away, in which Silver fall into slumber.

Then kids informed they needed to be home or they get grounded, so Optimus ordered Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Arcee looked after each one of them. when they left Elena took Silver to her room, where they both went rest. the day was tough, but what just happened wasn't over.
