----- Jasper, Nevada evening -----

It was a cool autumn day as people walked home from work or from their errands. Kids that had been playing had begun to disperse and rush home. Two young girls were walking from a big orphanage towards a store a ways away. One shorter and younger than the other.

"I can't believe Mr. Smith made us do this as punishment. We didn't start that fight." The smaller sniffled and rubbed her cheek. It was slightly red since it had been punched. She wore a black hoodie with the sleeves meeting her elbow, blue fingerless biking gloves with silver lining, a silver ninja scarf that dragged on the ground slightly, and a pair of black slip on shoes. She also wore a midday sky blue t shirt with a sliver waning crescent moon on the front, a pair of shorts that went slightly below her knees, an army green cap, silver rimmed goggles with slightly tinted lenses, and a silver ninja head band. The shorter girl also had her right arm bandaged up from finger tip to shoulder blade as well as her feet from toe tip to a little above her ankles instead of wearing socks and she had the hood of her unzipped hoodie up. She looked up at the taller girl and sighed. "You were just protecting me." She stated in an innocent and happy tone. The older one scoffed as she was covered in bruises from the fight she gotten into protecting the younger one from the bullies. The younger had bruises as well, but the older had more.

"I know, if Mr. Smith was smart he'd get rid of those kids." The older one said as she fixed her long black hair placing her lavender SnapBack on then adjusting her short lavender sleeved hoodie and underneath her hoodie was a short sleeved fishnet top that stopped above her naval. Her sapphire blue eyes keeping an eye on the shorter girl next to her while her black shiny jeans covered in dirt and her boot buckles clanked with every step.

"But they don't have a home, just like us. They can't be kicked out onto the street, it's wrong." The younger whined with a frown. Even though her hood was up to hide her face her mouth could still be seen.

"Yeah, but it doesn't give them the excuse to act like jerks, they could be relocated to a different place." The eldest said as she sighed.

"T-true..." The two soon entered a store and picked up a few groceries then began to walk home. The younger looked up after hearing a boom sound. "Hey, Kaiser! Look at how fast that jet's going!" She giggled childishly. Kaiser looked up as she smiled a bit.

"Yeah, it looks cool Kari (car-ri)." Kaiser said nodding her head while holding Kari's hand.

".. It's so close to the ground..." Kari shivered, not liking what she was seeing. "It's heading for home..." Kari blinked and picked up speed, uncomfortable with the thought that just came to her mind. Kari gripped the straps of her silver knapsack that held some of her things as well as the groceries. Kaiser brought Kari along as she rushed to their home so they could get back already. When the two arrived at the orphanage they saw that it was crushed and everyone had fled in fear. A few clanks and shots could be heard.

"Hah! You missed, wrecker!" Called a slender robot that was the jet. That was Starscream. Kaiser dropped the few groceries she was carrying and pulled Kari with her to someplace to hide.

"K-kaiser-- What's---" Kari gulped, wanting to watch what was going on. A larger robot that was mainly green growled.

"Starscream what are you up to?!" He growled and then shot at Starscream with a growl. That was Bulkhead.

"I don't have to tell you anything, autobot slime." Starscream grumbled. Kari eventually got out of Kaiser's grip and got closer to see but was still hidden. Kaiser followed behind quickly so she didn't lose sight of Kari.

"Whoa... That's so cool." Kari gasped at the two robots.

"Kari be careful, they look dangerous." Kaiser said kneeling beside her as they watched from their hiding spot. Kari nodded at Kaiser then watched.

"Just be glad that the humans in this area fled!" Bulkhead growled in anger then shot at Starscream, hitting a few buildings in the process. One of the buildings was where Kari and Kaiser were. Kari yelped and grabbed Kaiser and pulled her out of the way. Starscream and Bulkhead looked over to see them. Kaiser ran as she made sure Kari was ahead of her. Starscream smirked as he got an idea. He lunged at the two running girls and grabbed them with a chuckle. He knew that Bulkhead would not fire at him when humans were in danger.

"PUT THEM DOWN STARSCREAM!" Bulkhead growled as Starscream took to the sky, transforming into his jet form.

"COME AND GET THEM!" Starscream called and Kari clung to Kaiser, shivering. Kaiser held onto Kari freaking out on the inside about what they got in the middle of. Bulkhead groaned.

"Scrap..." He huffed then transformed into his vehicle mode and raced off towards a mountain side in the middle of no where. He went back to robot mode and put his hand on the rock wall in front of him and a door opened. Bulkhead rushed in quickly seeing other bots. He looked to the mainly red and blue robot and huffed.

"Optimus. I have something to tell you." Bulkhead stated, a little tired. Optimus looked over as he saw Bulkhead rush in.

"What's wrong Bulkhead?" Optimus asked starting to worry about bad news. Bulkhead began to explain what just happened not too long ago.

"He was too fast and I was unable to save the humans." Bulkhead gulped after explaining the situation. Optimus started to call everyone for an emergency meeting, he was not going to let the decepticons harm those humans. Soon everyone gathered around wondering about what was going on.

"What's the trouble now, Optimus?" A slender blue and pink robot asked. That was Arcee.

"What's the problem?" A red and white robot asked as he wiped his hands off with a bed sheet, to him it was a rag. That was Ratchet.

"Yeah what's the matter, something happen?" A yellow and black robot whose speech box was broken so he could only speak in beeping sounds. That was BumbleBee. Optimus stood in front of his comrades before talking.

"Earlier today Bulkhead had encountered Starscream. While fighting Starscream he was able to catch some humans and get away. As Autobots we are to protect all of mankind so we must go and rescue these humans." Optimus said looking at each one of them. Ratchet groaned.

"Why must we always help out the humans?!" The grumpy old bot huffed, obviously not liking the humans all that much. Bulkhead looked at him.

"Because Optimus said so... Not only that but they are young kids, they have a long road ahead of them." Bulkhead stated.

"We got to save them if they're just little kids. Megatron will kill them if we don't do anything." Bumblebee said as he stepped up. Ratchet growled and sighed.

"Fine, fine. I'll be here getting the medical supplies ready just incase.. But I don't know what I'll be able to do since I know very little about humans." Ratchet grumbled and crossed his arms.

"Let's just hope the decepticons didn't kill them already, I don't feel like making pointless trips for nothing." Arcee said as she crossed her arms. Optimus nodded his head looking at everyone.

"Let's roll out Autobots!" Optimus started to change along with the others as they started to go save the humans.

----- In an old Decepticon mine -----

Starscream and some decepticon soldiers were setting up bombs around the mine and then put Kari and Kaiser in the mine, both in their own glass container. Starscream smirked at them and chuckled when one of the soldiers came up.

"Heyyy Starscream where you pick up these weak humans?" One of the grunts asked looking at the two. Kaiser was kicking and punching the glass in hopes of breaking it.

"Found them as bait for the Autobots for this trap. Are the bombs set?" Starscream huffed as he stood up straight, crossing his arms as he looked at the soldier. Another grunt nodded his head.

"All ready to set off whenever Starscream." The grunt said as he saluted him.

"Whatever did we do to you?! You big robot jerk!" Kaiser shouted kicking the glass more.

"I wanna go home!" Kari sniffled, banging on her glass container, looking at Kaiser every now and again since they were not in the same container. The grunts started to laugh at the two as their hitting and kicking was doing nothing to the containers. Starscream growled.

"You showed up. Now you're bait." He said then started walking out with the decepticon soldiers close behind. Kari growled and began to punch and kick her container as hard as she could.

"LET US OUT!!" She called, a few tears rolling down her cheeks. "I WANNA GO BACK HOME!!! PLEASE!!!" The grunts were following Starscream.

"All we were doing was going home until YOU showed up and started to destroy everything and then YOU kidnapped us!" Kaiser shouted as she let out a low growl.

"I don't care what you say. You two are still gonna die here." Starscream huffed, not turning around. Eventually he was gone and it was just Kaiser and Kari.

"Kaiser... We're not gonna die, right? You'll think of a way out, right?" Kari gulped, looking at the older girl to her left. "Right?" Kari sniffled. Kaiser looked to Kari who was on her right and nodded.

"We're not gonna die Kari, that's the last thing I'd let happen to you. I promise I'll find a way out of this if it's the last thing I do." Kaiser said showing determination in her eyes to save Kari from a terrible fate. Kari smiled with a giggle.

"You better come too." Kari said then punched the glass again, the glass then showed a crack. "Wait what?" Kari blinked and froze for a moment then began to punch the glass again, furiously, kicking it too. Eventually the glass broke and Kari got out, her hands all bloody as well as a few cuts on her face and legs. Her right hand was not as bloody as her left since it had some protection. She went and broke the glass around Kaiser and then smiled. "Lets go... I don't wanna stay here... D-do you remember the way out?" Kari gulped nervously. Kaiser shook her head in a "no" motion.

"I don't, but as long as we keep going and be quiet we can find an exit and get as far away from here as possible. Okay?" Kaiser said looking at Kari.

"Kay... I trust you... We better hurry, I hear the bombs ticking near by." Kari shivered and held Kaiser's hand as they raced around. Kaiser raced with Kari looking for a way out of this mine while making sure not to be caught by any more of those robots.

"Come on Kari let's try this way." Kaiser whispered going in a new direction. Kari nodded and followed Kaiser, running ninja style to keep up. Soon they saw a blue and pink motorcycle driving on its own. Kari shivered and backed away and hid behind Kaiser. Kaiser froze as she stood in front of Kari so she could protect her in case it was another one of those mean robots. As the motorcycle got close it transformed into a female looking robot as she towered over them.

"Huh, you must be the two humans that we're here to save." The femm-bot said as she looked down at the two girls.

"I b-broke th-the g-glass c-containers that held us." Kari huffed, some blood dripping down her face and hands. The robot looked at Kari surprised, how was she able to get free? But now wasn't the time for questions. Then the blue and pink robot looked behind her as she heard someone coming.

"Cee, you find them?" An army green bulky car pulled up and transformed then walked up to the femm-bot.

"Yeah the kids are right here, somehow one of them manage to break the glass containers they were in." The femm-bot called back as Kaiser looked to Kari. Bulkhead sighed and pressed the side of his head to call the other two using his com-link.

"Optimus, Bumblebee, we found them. The smallest managed to break the glass that was holding them, well, Arcee says anyway."

"I'M---!!" Kari huffed in anger, jumping up and down slightly. Kaiser quickly covered Kari's mouth to get her quiet.

"Shhh or they'll hear you and come running, that is if they aren't already searching for us." Kaiser whispered trying not to have their cover blown. Kari gulped and nodded, letting out a squeak as her reply. Kaiser removed her hand and breathed then looking to the robots.

"We have to get out of here, they've set up bombs to go off." Kaiser said as the robot's eyes widened.

"Not good. Come on you two, lets go." Bulkhead called and began to lead them out with Arcee as a motorcycle following. He called up Optimus and Bumblebee and told them about the bombs and that they would meet them outside.

Starscream was still inside when he saw the two autobots and the girls running to the entrance. He growled and went after them.

"How did they get here so fast?! I need to stall for time." He growled and shot at Bulkhead and Arcee. Kari and Kaiser yelped and went faster to avoid being shot. Arcee turned back into robot form as she began to shoot back as she ran towards the exit. Kaiser was running, but making sure Kari was ahead of her. Kari blinked and looked ahead and saw a light.

"We're almost out!" Kari called happily. She looked behind her to smile at Kaiser but saw that Starscream had somehow gotten past Arcee and was rushing at them in his vehicle mode. He was soon close enough to grab the two girls until Kaiser pushed Kari out of the way and only she was grabbed. Bulkhead soon heard Kari scream so he turned around and saw Starscream about to grab Kari. He growled and rushed for her, transforming into his vehicle mode and getting Kari.

"Hold on kid." He said as he sped out quickly while Arcee had found another way out safely. Starscream growled and took to the skies once he was out, at least he had one of them. Kaiser was freaking out about how high in the sky she was as she looked out the window frowning a bit, but she was glad to be able to save Kari.

"Here we are..." Bulkhead gulped and let Kari out once they were safe. Kari got out and looked up in the sky to see Starscream flying away.

"... Kaiser..." She frowned and wanted to follow the jet but she was held back by the thought of Kaiser yelling at her in anger, lecturing her about how she did that to "keep you safe" and that "I was just protecting you!" and all that other stuff.

"Hey, we'll get her back." Bulkhead said as he went into his robot mode and sighed. "We need to wait here for the others. Kay?" He asked and Kari nodded. Bulkhead gave a soft smile. "I'm Bulkhead by the way."

"I'm Kari." The girl smiled. "Kari Kana (kah-nuh) Lee Himura. (He-moo-ruh). But just call me Kari." Bulkhead nodded at this and the two waited for the others. Arcee rolled up to Bulkhead and Kari not too long later.

"I'm Arcee, sorry to hear about your friend." Arcee said while she was in motorcycle mode.

"... It's fine... She's strong she can care for herself." Kari smiled then introduced herself to Arcee. That was when Optimus and Bumblebee roll up to the small group.

"Is this one of the young humans that Starscream had as a hostage?" Optimus as he was a red and blue truck.

"Yes, Her name is Kari." Bulkhead said with a nod and Kari shivered and hid behind a tree, not sure how she should react. She was fine with Bulkhead and Arcee since they saved her, but these two were new and she was not sure about them.

"I thought there were two humans?" Bumblebee said looking at Bulkhead and Arcee. Kari winced at his words, understanding Bumblebee.

"Unfortunately the other one sacrificed herself to save Kari here." Arcee said as she replied to Bumblebee. Kari sniffled and gulped.

"Her name's Kaiser." Kari's voice cracked and Bulkhead looked in Kari's direction.

"Kari, what's going on with your... face?" He asked since Kari's eyes were hidden.

"It's called crying..." Kari wiped the tears from her eyes and face. "... I wanna go home now..." Kari frowned. "But I can't... I don't have a home anymore and my sister is gone and I'm scared! I just went through, whatever that was and-and-and..." Kari shivered and turned away from them hiding her face by tugging on her hoodie. "Why did this happen?" Kari hiccuped.

"Kari, you can come with us. We will make sure that your sister is safely returned to you I promise. I am Optimus Prime, leader of the autobots. We're robots who have sworn to protect earth and all of mankind from the decepticons." Optimus said, trying to calm Kari down feeling a little sympathetic for everything she's been through. Kari looked at Optimus Prime and took her hood down to show her pure white hair that was pulled up into a ponytail that spiked out in different directions with hair groups in the front that were chin length and tied in silver ribbon, her blood red cat like eyes and her cap, ninja head band and goggles which were hidden by the hood as well. She nodded and wiped her eyes again, replying without speaking.

"Let's get out of here, we have no other purpose to be out here." Arcee said waiting for everyone. Bumblebee nodded his head looking to Optimus.

"Kari, you can ride with one of us back to headquarters." Optimus said giving Kari a choice. Kari nodded and looked at the bots in front of her. She then pointed at Arcee.

"I'd like to ride with you, Arcee." Kari stated with a small smile.

"Alright kiddo, just make sure you put the helmet on and hold on tight okay?" Arcee said as a matching blue and pink helmet appeared.

"Kay." Kari took the helmet and put it on then getting on Arcee when she was in vehicle mode. Once Kari was on Arcee, Optimus started to drive away first as the other autobots started to follow his lead to go back to the headquarters.

----- Decepticon's ship -----

Starscream arrived at the ship with a huff and held Kaiser in his hand then decided to lock her up for later, knowing the autobots would want her back.

"There. Now be good and I won't kill you." He stated with an evil grin. Kaiser grabbed the bars as she glared at him.

"What the heck!? You think I'm afraid of you, my life is bad enough as it is and now I'm stuck playing prisoner with a big robot jerk!" Kaiser shouted at him. Starscream sighed.

"You should be scared. I am the one keeping you alive right now. Be glad I did not show you to lord Megatron, he would have killed you right away." Starscream frowned angrily. "So I suggest you show some respect and don't make me angry." Kaiser glared at him before going to go sit in a corner as she talked to herself.

"It doesn't matter if I'm alive now, cuz in no time you or whoever will end up killing me... The only thing I had in my life was Kari, she'd be the only one to be sad if I died." Kaiser said sitting down pulling her knees to her chest.

Starscream smirked. "I see you are fond of the other girl... Very well, I won't kill you. Instead, if you don't behave I'll find her, bring her here and kill her in front of your very eyes." He stated with a small evil chuckle. Kaiser winced at the thought of Kari getting hurt because of her so she just kept quiet, putting her hoodie up and then she hugged her knees tighter as she rested her head on them. Starscream smirked. "Good human. Now I'll be back later. If you are not here when I'm back consider... Kari, as good as dead." Starscream chuckled, hearing Kaiser say Kari's name moments ago. He then left Kaiser alone. Once she was all alone Kaiser silently cried to herself being stuck there afraid to escape not wanting Kari brought into this.
