Madalyn was back at the Air Force Miliatry Base in her room, chatting with Raf, Jack, and Miko on 'Skype'.

"So Jack, Miko, you guys excited for the 'Slash Monkey' Concert tonight?" asked Madalyn.

"I'm excited, but I think Miko is a lot more excited." replied Jack.

"Guys, do you know how long I've waited to see 'Slash Monkey'? Forever! And it's their ONLY U.S. date!" explained Miko.

"There's a shock." chuckled Raf sarcastically.

Suddenly there's a knock at Madalyn's door, the girl turning her attention towards the source of the noise. "Come in!"

And in came Agent Fowler. "Madalyn, can we talk for a minute?"

"Sure dad," Madalyn nodded as she turned her head back to the computer screen. "I'll call you guys later."

"No Problem. Make sure you meet me and Jack at the concert tonight!" Miko exclaimed.

"I'll try Miko. Bye!" Madalyn waved as she turned off the computer, sitting up from her chair. "What's up dad?"

"General Bryce asked me to come and meet him at the Command Centre in Washington. So I've decided to hand over the mission that was assigned to me earlier today, to you, " explained Fowler.

"You're not saying what I think your saying?! My first solo mission! Sweet!" Madalyn cheered.

"Hold it young lady," the older Agent cautioned. "This mission is very important, and if you accept this, it's a very big responsibility."

"So how big were talking here?" asked Madalyn.

"I'll do better; I'll show you," Fowler proclaimed, motioning her to follow him. "Follow me,"

The young agent did as she was told, leaving her room as the pair maneuvered through their base of operations to the Weapons Centre.

Once they were inside, Madalyn saw this giant high tech looking weapon in the middle of the room. "Whoa! What is that?!"

"That is a prototype Cybertronian Ion Cannon that we've been safeguarding for the Autobots." explained Fowler.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Madalyn halted, spinning her heels to face her father as her mouth hung open in shock. "Did you just say Cybertronian? As in Cybertron? The Autobots home planet?!"

"Yep. After the Autobot's first arrived on Earth, and formed a partnership with the U.S. military, we've kept this cannon here for safe keeping." explained Fowler.

"So, does it belong to one of the Autobots?" asked Madalyn.

"Not sure. I remember Prime telling me that it used to belong to a very strong and dangerous Decepticon. Word is, sometime's that 'Con was more dangerous and leathful than Megatron. With this Ion Cannon, he was thought to be unstopable." Fowler foretold.

"Whoa. . . " Madalyn stared at the weapon in awe for a brief moment before shaking her head and focused back on reality. She faced her father, saluting him. "Don't worry dad, you can count on me to keep an eye this cannon. When you get back, it will be right where you left it!"

"That's my girl! I'll be back later. Call me if there's any trouble." Fowler advised as he left the room.

"Relax dad, nothing will happen on my watch." said Madalyn.

**********

4 hours has past sense Agent Fowler left.

And Madalyn, was bored out of her mind.

"Okay, so far, this solo mission thing is seriously boring! I thought they were suppose to be more fun and exciting. But now, I'm stuck babysitting this cannon," Madalyn muttered to herself. "But it is important for the 'Bots, so this can't be all bad."

She checked the time on her communicator. It's 4:55pm. "Okay, I still got some time before the concert starts. No big deal."

Madalyn got up from sitting on the floor and walked over to the cannon and to look at it.

"Gotta edmit. It is pretty cool. Even thought it's a Decepticon weapon."

Why do the Decepticon's always get the good stuff? Madalyn walked around the cannon checking out every single detail. When she came to the left side of the cannon she found some Cybertronian letters on it. "Whoa, that's Cybertronian! I wonder what it says. . ."

After when she first met the Autobots, Ratchet had been teaching her some of the Cybertronian language. Everytime Madalyn was looking at Ratchet's computer while he helped the Autobots in a jam, she wanted to know what it meant.

"Lets see, it look's like it says, Sh... Shock.. Wave. . . Shockwave? Maybe that's the name of the Decepticon it belonged to."

Just then Madalyn heard some smashing and crashing noises coming from outside. "Scrap," She hid herself behind the cannon and brought out one of her pistol's and loaded it. She then waited for the intruders to come in.

Madalyn checked the time again, it was 5:30pm.

"Great! The concert starts in an hour. I just hope the intruders aren't Decepticons." Madalyn growled.

Just then there was an explosion on the front door and in walked Starscream, Knockout, and Breakdown.

"I had to open my big mouth." thought Madalyn.

"I don't get it Starscream. What are we doing breaking inside this human base when we could be scouting for energon?" asked Breakdown.

"Lord Megatron's orders. He said that the human's have been keeping something of value here," explained Starscream before he gasped. "Well now, speaking of which. . ."

Starscream pointed at the cannon.

"It can't be! Shockwave's Ion Cannon! Here on Earth?" asked Knockout.

"Apparently, in the final day's in the war for Cybertron, Shockwave lost it in a battle against those Dinobot experiments of his. The Autobots must have instructed their human allies to keep it here, for 'safe' keeping." explained Starscream.

"So his name IS Shockwave." Madalyn realized still hiding behind the cannon.

"With Shockwave's Ion Cannon in my.... I mean OUR possesion, the Autobot's will never be able to stop us." said Starscream.

"Alright then. Let's haul this thing out of here." said Breakdown.

"Ready for the bridge." said Knockout as he contacted the Decepticon war ship.

A ground bridge opened up behind Madalyn and the cannon. She could hear Breakown walking towards it to pick it up.

"I better call backup." Madalyn used her communicator to send the base an S.O.S.

Once Breakdown grabbed a hold of the cannon, he glanced up and saw the human female. "Hey! What do you think your doing here?" yelled Breakdown.

Madalyn shot her pistol at Breakdown's hand. The bullet was tough enough to give pain in Breakdown's hand that he let go of the cannon and backed away. "Ow! Watch it!" yelled Breakdown.

"Make me!" yelled back Madalyn as she then shot at Starscream and Knockout.

"Get down!" shouted Starscream.

Starscream and Knockout ducked down from the shots.

"Agent Romanoff." Knockout snarled.

"You know this human?" asked Starscream.

"She's a companion of the Autobots. She may be a human, but she is not to be underestimated." explained Knockout.

"Then perhaps we could use this as our advantage." Starscream grinned.

Starscream got up, and transformed his hand into a blaster. He shoot the blast 3 feet away from Madalyn but the explosion of the blast was strong enough to send Madalyn flying into a metal pillar and collapse to the ground, knocked out.

"Glad that pest is taken care of." said Breakdown as he got up and reached for the cannon.

"Leave it." commanded Starscream.

"You serious commander Starscream?" asked Breakdown.

"Think about it. With Agent Romanoff in our possesion we could use this to dispose ourselves of the Autobots and this planet shall finally be all mi.. er I mean all ours." explained Starscream.

"Humans. Always the weak-link." commented Knockout.

"Let's get out of here. And bring Agent Romanoff." ordered Starscream.

With their ground bridge still open, Knockout picked up Madalyn and they walked through the groundbridge as reinforcements came in.

*********

When Madalyn woke up, she noticed that she wasn't in the Miliatry base. Or even the autobot's base. She was in the Decepticon Warship. She was caught in the grip of a Decepticon trooper. Who was taking her to the brig.

"Great. The 'Cons Warship. Again!" thought Madalyn.

The trooper walked inside the brige then dropped Madalyn infront of him.

"Ow! Hey, watch it pal!" said Madalyn.

Then she turned her head and saw infront of her, standing wit his bacn turned and arms crossed behind, was Starscream.

"Welcome. Agent Romanoff." The Decepticon greeted as he turned his head slightly towards Madalyn and she saw his red eye.

Madalyn got up and brushed some of the dust off her. "Starscream, what a surprise. You treat all your guests this nice?"

"Heh, heh, heh, any friend of the Autobots." replied Starscream as he turned completely to face her.

"Autobot? Aren't they one of those old coin operated 'wash my own car' places?" joked Madalyn keeping a straight face.

"Oh, so that's how it's going to be? Well, we'll see how you handle Lord Megatron." Sneered Starscream. "Make our guest comfortable."

Starscream ordered the troop as he walked out of the room.

Madalyn was tied up in chains from her shoulders to the end of her arms. Three Decepticon troops were guarding her while they were waiting for Megatron to show up. After a few minutes of waiting, Megatron walked in. He nodded at the troops who moved out of his way. One of them walked outside and guarded the door while the other two stayed inside and guarded the otherside. "Agent Romanoff, I presume?"

"And if it isn't Megatron himself. Your looking well, after that cortical phyic patch incident." said Madalyn.

"So, you've been on my ship." said Megatron.

"More time's than I can count. Your secuirty here stinks." replied Madalyn.

"Then I'm sure your well aware that my forces have broken into your Miliatry base correct?" asked Megatron.

"Yeah. I was there. You were after that Ion Cannon." said Madalyn.

"And yet, my Decepticons left it and came back with you. A human. That's when an oppuratunity came into play." explained Megatron.

"No way! The autobot's would never pay a randsom! Even for my safety. They'd never give that cannon to the likes of you, Decepticreeps!" said Madalyn.

"Nicknames? Well, I guess we will have to do this the hard way then." said Megatron as she turned back to his troops "Bring the energon prod."

One of the troops walked back in the room with an energon tazer with him. He handed it to Megatron and he faced back at Madalyn. "Last chance to do it the easy way." warned Megatron.

"Not a chance. You're not getting that cannon!" replied Madalyn.

"We shall see, human." said Megatron.

He turned on the tazer and used it on Madalyn's neck. Madalyn cried out in pain, hen the tazer made her unconcious and knocked out.

"Ready the ground bridge. It is time to meet my old friend, Optimus Prime." ordered Megatron.

*********

"Optimus! Been well? I see you've brought your trusty watch dog and your bug. I thought for sure they would be in the scrap yard by now." said Megatron.

Madalyn woke up hearing Megatron walking with the autobot's. Or more like shouting. Megatron, Breakdown, Knockout, and afew decepticon troops were ontop of a cliff while Optimus, Bumblebee, and Ratchet were at the bottom looking up at them. With them, Ratchet had Shockwave's Ion Cannon.

"Oh no!" whispered Madalyn.

"Why don't you invite him down here for a chat!" said Ratchet angerly.

"We alll know why were here Megatron. We want Agent Romanoff and you want Shockwave's Ion Cannon." said Optimus.

"Hardly a surprise Optimus. You and I have been at this a long time." said Megatron.

"You give us back Agent Romanoff, and in return, we will give you the Ion Cannon. Do we have a deal Megatron?" asked Optimus.

There is a slight pause for acouple seconds, then Megatron answered. "Deal."

Ratchet walked forward abit then set's the cannon down on the ground. Then one of the troopers flies down and takes the cannon and flies back to the decepticons.

"Well played Optimus. But I'm afaird I won't be keeping my end of the deal." said Megatron.

"What?!" said Ratchet.

"Beep bop beep bop beep bop 'You double crossed us!'" said Bumblebee.

"I'm afaird if you want your friend back, you'll have to take her." said Megatron as he pointed to the Autobots that signaled the Decepticons to attack.

Breakdown, Knockout, and the troopers, jumped down from the cliff, and charged at the autobot's, while the autobots did the same.

Optimus was punching a few troops when he started fighting Knockout. Ratchet transformed his hands into swords, and started shopping away at the 'Cons that were coming his way. And Bumblebee was performing some boxing moves on the other decepticons and Breakdown. Meanwhile Megatron and Madalyn were watching them fight back up on the cliff.

"You're in trouble now Megatron. Your Decepticons don't stand a chance!" said Madalyn.

"We shall see. How about we make this alittle more interesting?" said Megatron.

He stretched out his arm with his hand with the end of Madalyn's chain over the edge of the cliff.

"Oh no! Don't you dare!" said Madalyn.

"Too late." said Megatron. He let go of the chain and Madalyn started falling towards the ground.

"Ahhh! Somebody help me!" yelled Madalyn.

Bumblebee heard her, so he punched Breakdown out of the way, transformed into his vehicle mode and raced towards Madalyn.

"Bumblebee! Secure the package!" commanded Optimus.

Bumblebee transformed back into robot mode while sliding across the ground and caught Madalyn.

"Unbelievable!" shouted Megatron.

"Beep bop bop beep bop beep bop 'You alright Madalyn? Anything broken?" asked Bumblebee.

"I'm alright Bee." said Madalyn.

Bumblebee sat her down and ran back to the fight.

"Rafeal! Activate a ground bridge for Bulkhead and Arcee! We need backup!" said Optimus.

A Few seconds later Madalyn saw a ground bridge open up.

"Autobots! Stand your ground! Madalyn must not fall into enemy hands!" commanded Optimus.

Then Arcee jumped out of the ground bridge and got into her battle stance. She spotted Madalyn and ran towards her. "Hang on Maddie!"

Then Arcee got tackled by Knockout who transformed into his vehicle mode out of the dust then transformed back into robot and ran towards Madalyn.

"Come to papa!" said Knockout.

"Oh scrap!" said Madalyn.

Madalyn closed her eye's and prepared for impacted, but the crisis was aborted when Bulkhead came running out of the ground brdige and ramed into Knockout. "Run to mommy!" replied Bulkhead.

"Nice comeback, Bulkhead!" said Madalyn.

Bulkhead helped Madalyn out of the chains, then the other autobots met up with them infront of the ground bridge. "Autobots! Fall back!" commanded Optimus.

Bumblebee, Arcee, Ratchet, and Bulkhead ran through the ground bridge back to base. Optimus grabbed Madalyn and they were the last to run through before the bridge closed.

********

After they all got back to base, Madalyn explained to the 'Bots what happened. Then Agent Fowler came in through the elevator. "Madalyn, you alright? When I heard the news, I imediatly left Washington and got here as quick as I could."

"I'm fine dad. A few slight cuts and bruses but I'm fine. Thanks to the Autobots. But it's my fault that the 'Cons got the Ion Cannon." Madalyn sulked.

"Don't worry about it. We'll get it back." Bulkhead reassured.

"What matter's is that your safe. And I wouldn't want it any other way." said Optimus.

"Thanks Optimus. But quick question though. Jack, Miko, why are you guys covered in dust and dirt?" asked Madalyn as she walked over to them.

"Trust me when I tell you Madalyn, you do not wanna known." replyed Jack.

"What really stinks is that we missed 'Slash Monkey'! And it was there ONLY U.S. date!" said Miko as she crossed her arms "Now the only way I can see the concert is by watching it on Youtube."
