When I was pulled down that alleyway-I had probably hit my head twice on the ground and been bumped onto walls various times.

But I was not ready for what I would see-the source of the chain...yeah well let's just say it was the last person or rather last monster-that I wanted to see right now.

"You!" I gasped, staring up in front of me at the tall Terrorcon leader.  "What....what are you doing here?"

Beforehand he had been scary, now right in front of me, standing over three stories tall-he was even more terrifying

Scourge flicked his wrist. The chain around my ankle tightened  and I was pulled up into the air, hanging upside down once again-this time in front of the enemy.

My sprained ankle throbbing from the chain. Back at his house, Noah had given me a bandage, saying it was only bruised. But now-I was pretty sure it was going to be sprained.

Something metal dangled in front of my face and my eyes widened-the necklace Mirage gave me. I could use it to tell him I needed help. Hastily I tucked it under my neck, pressing the necklace three times and praying it would work.

"Human Pest," Scourge held me up so that I was eye level with him. "I knew I would be able to find you."

"Me?" I stammered. "Why me?"

Scourge's crimson eyes flashed as his metal mouth twisted in a smirk. "The ability to travel to other worlds-other universes, is one Unicron would benefit greatly from."

At once I realized something-he knew. He knew I was not from this world. But how?

Folding my arms, I glared at him. "Like I'd ever help the planet-eating monster or his toady."

Scourge scoffed at this. "When will you realize, human..." He held me closer to his face-I could feel the steam coming off his breath as he sneered at me, his crimson eyes almost burning my own. "...You don't have a choice."

Ray and I were hurrying through the crowds.  I knew Elena and Noah could not have gone that far in such large crowds as this.

I weaved around carts of produce and past clapping children celebrating the parade. Finally I caught a glimpse of Noah as he and Elena dodged across the front of the parade, to the streetside I was now on.

Hastily I ran up to them. "Noah! Elena!" both turned at my shout.

"Alex!" Elena gave me a large hug. "I was worried I lost my only brother," she gave me a small smile.

I chuckled. "No, you can't lose me that easily-trust me, my real older sister has tried."

The three of us began heading in the direction of the nearby old churchyard. Behind it was where the map showed the temple remains should be.
