(Have a chibi Predaking cuz why not? Enjoy the Chapter! Feel free to comment any mistakes I've made or something like that because I know I make them, but I never see them until I reread XD)

I had continued walk towards the coordinates of the abandoned town, which was much closer than when Laserbeak had actually SAVED me from Cemetery wind. Who would've thought, right? A Decepticon preventing humans from taking a human/Predacon for experimenting, that's a first. Don't care if he wouldn't allow distractions or whatever he said, he did it and I consider it an act of kindness.

"STAR, How far am I from the coordinates now?" I think to myself, the program coming online.

"If you were to continue walking, 2 hours. If you were to fly, only 45 minutes." STAR responded.

Since my wings had ceased aching, I guess I could start flying again.

"Alright good, and STAR have my other friends downloaded you into their processors?" I ask.

"Your friends who had travelled with you have, yes. In fact, Blue was the first to volunteer." STAR said.

Wow, I was expecting Predaking or maybe Springtrap to go first. Well that's a surprise. Not wanting to waste any more time, I spread my wings and took off into the sky.

*   *   *   *

"The human, or 'Predacon' is on her way here now, Lord Megatron." The Decepticon that had recently saved her notified his master.

Megatron seemed rather pleased with hearing the news, "And does she come alone?"

"Yes master. Once I saw her, I scouted the area to see if anyone was hidden, but my scanners had not found anyone. Other than those treacherous humans we once associated with, which I more than gladly exterminated. Once I overheard them trying to take the Predacon for experimenting, that was." Laserbeak informed.

Megatron grimaced, not that he was surprised Cemetery Wind betrayed them, for he had expected it at some point.

"Predacon is now in flight, only 20 earth minutes away from designated coordinates." Laserbeaks master notified.

"Then be prepared to give her a warm welcome." The Decepticon Warlord turned and left.

The other Autobots had been notified of Springlocks smaller friends becoming Cybertronians, they were both in disbelief yet impressed at what the power of the relic could do. Of course said friends now had to be careful of where they stepped, not trying to crush any of the soldiers or the young girls beloved dog. The Predacons were used to trying not to step on anything, for they had lived with Shockwave and avoided anything of importance.

Predaking had felt a strong sense of joy ever since he had seen the female Predacons message, with her answering yes to being his queen. But he was very worried that his queen had gone off on her own to face the Decepticons, the most worried he had ever been in his life. He was worried his newly found queen would never return, or that she would be mortally wounded.

"Are you alright? You look worried." Blue had approached him.

It snapped the king from his worried thoughts, "Pardon?"

"You're worried, and I think I know why. It's about her, isn't it?" The raptor asked.

Predaking did not answer, for he was not one to talk about his feelings. Or one to have such a chat in general. He only stared at the raptor in silence.

"I presumed so, but I can assure you she'll be fine. She's done many things on her own, some of them sounding the as unrealistic as it can be. Killing a manmade hybrid dinosaur when she turned into almost an exact copy of it, and snapped it's neck with only her teeth. Went up against a gigantic shark that was, actually just as big as you when you're in your other form. Not to mention she's stubborn. The second someone strikes her, she'll attack with twice the amount of ferocity and force back." Blue went on.

Predaking then remembered the night that Springlock had told him of her adventure up until that point. His worry then began to ease as he simply nodded.

I continued flying over the open and empty sandy desert, not seeing any sign of any town as I approached the coordinates. Almost arriving according to the coordinates, literally only a few minutes. But you'd think I'd be able to see it from up here, right? Eh, I'm probably complaining too soon.

Just as I think it, I see small buildings lingering in the distance. That's the abandoned town! Yep, I was complaining too soon. I began my descent as I was now super close to the town, landing on my clawed Predacon feet just outside of it. Yeesh, this place use a good fixer upper project. In fact, it was an old west town like you'd see in those cowboy or gunslinger movies.

What a place to meet, but what's strange is that there's no one here. I was expecting at least Soundwave to be here, the sound and communication manipulating scum. I began walking into the small town, looking around for any con who might be hidden.

"STAR, are you getting anything on your radars of any Decepticon here?" I ask internally.

"I am finding nothing of the sort, madam. I also initiated a thermal scan, but my results are showing nothing within a 50 mile radius." STAR replied.

Hmm, maybe they're late? No, That's doubtful. If they want these gems so badly, they would've showed up EARLY. I continue walking to what would be the center of the abandoned town. Something feels off, very off. Why would they ask to meet here of all places? An old western styled town?

"Hello?? I'm here like you wanted!!" I shouted, not particularly to anyone.

Nothing but silence. Looking towards one of the buildings, which looked to be a a saloon, I slowly approached it. An empty sign swung from a single chain on a wood pole attached to the side of the building, I reach my claws out to pull it off as it triggers my OCD for some reason. Might as well do something while I wait.

I was about to grab it with my claws, but my claws went right through it. My eyes widen, thinking I just hallucinated. But I try again, and the same thing happened. Wait a minute, this town isn't even real! It's a holographic projection! I take a few steps back and got into a defensive stance, my teeth bared. I must've gotten into something where there's no turning back.

Before I could tell STAR to run another scan, the ground beneath me disappeared. I yelped with surprise as I  then fell into a dark hole, the entrance/exit I had fallen through then sealed, leaving me to fall in total darkness. The next thing I knew, I fell hard onto a metal floor. The sound was very loud as it echoed throughout the chamber I was in, it even hurt my audio receptors it was that loud.

I groaned as I was now sore, sitting up slowly and holding my head. Talk about an unexpected drop in.

"Greetings human, I don't believe I've had the 'pleasure' of meeting you." Pale blue lights then slowly faded on, revealing that the one talking was no other than Soundwave.

"You treat all your guests this kindly?" I ask sarcastically, a small smirk upon my faceplates.

"We have been known to treat guests much nicer than this, now come. They have been waiting very patiently for your arrival." The Decepticon had gestured for me to follow.

I got to my feet while shaking my wings a little, keeping my distance between him and I far. Huh, I just noticed that im taller than Soundwave by at least 7 feet. Cool, but I don't trust this guy. Soundwave noticed my cautious and aggressive behavior.

"Worry not, human. My superiors have ordered ever Decepticon to stand down for you have their requested items, the first to fire upon you without proper reason will be executed immediately." Soundwave assured.

"Oh so I'm not considered a threat?" I ask.

"I said they were not to fire upon you without proper reason. If you were to attack, you would be the first to die. After you, those Autobots and irritating humans." The Decepticon warned.

I growled, "Alright you douchebag, fair enough. Now lead the way."
