TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED HEROES

Runaway train

In the Decepticon base in the mines, Professor Sumdac was forced to make dampeners to mask their energy signatures so the Autobots won't be able to detect them outside of their base. Icy Blitzwing: "It's amazing Lugnut, you're standing right in front of me yet I don't detect your energy signature." Lugnut: "Now we can travel freely in vehicle mode and those accursed Autobots won't even know we're there." Megatron: "Yes, but now I must make contact with our fellow Decepticons who are scattered across the galaxy to inform them of my return." Professor Sumdac: "But even if I want to... which I don't, earth has no such technology to make such communication." Megatron: "Then it's fortunate that the Elite guard have arrived here, for they have a tachyon transmitter on their ship, all we have to do is steal it." Starscream: "I doubt we could do that when the Autobots, including the Elite Guard are there." Megatron: "True... which is why we'll make... a diversion." back on the Elite Guard ship, Ultra Magnus was talking to Optimus Prime about Sari's fate. Optimus Prime: "Sir, I can assure you that Sari is on our side." Ultra Magnus: "I'm aware that she has been with your team for a while, but she's still a Decepticon." Optimus Prime: "She quit the Decepticons before we left Cybertron, and she's wasn't like the other Decepticons either." Sentinel Prime: "She's just pretending to be nice so she can stab ya in the back." Optimus Prime: "No... I know she wouldn't do that... because unlike you Sentinel, I have respect for my teammates, and Sari is a part of my team, through and through." said Optimus Prime, which made Sari feel a little happy that there is a bot who cares about her and sees that she's more than just a Decepticon still. Sentinel Prime: "You must have a serious glitch if you really think she's one of us." said Sentinel Prime, before Jazz and Ironhide came over to the scene. Jazz: "Commander, the ship's computer just picked up an AllSpark energy signal somewhere in this city, and it's moving really fast on some train, which looks like it's moving out of control." Sentinel Prime: "Probably another one of those AllSpark fragments, I'll go check it out." Ultra Magnus: "Negative, stay here and keep an eye on Optimus Prime and the Decepticon, Jazz, Ironhide and I will go." said Ultra Magnus, before he, Jazz and Ironhide transformed into vehicle mode and drove away from the scene. Sentinel Prime: "Oh man... how come Jazz and Ironhide get to have all the action while I stay here with a repair bot and a she Con...?" said Sentinel Prime, while Optimus Prime went over to the ship's computer. Optimus Prime: "Odd..." Sari: "What is it?" Optimus Prime: "Well it's just, our sensors didn't picked up the last AllSpark fragment that showed up... only Daniel's key was able to detect it..." Sari: "Yeah... you're right... but what does this mean?" Optimus Prime: "It's almost as if someone wants us to find this fragment..." said Optimus, before Sari looks at the screen of the computer and sees something in the sky that made her gasp in shock. Sari: "Optimus!, the sky above the train!, it's Megatron and Starscream!" called out Sari, as she can see Megatron and Starscream, flying in the sky above the runaway train in their vehicle modes. Optimus Prime: "Sentinel!, we need to stop Ultra Magnus and the others!, they're heading right into a Decepticon trap!" Sentinel Prime: "Do I get to have some action?" Optimus Prime: "If it would convince you to let us go there, then yes." Sentinel Prime: "Fine, but you're not leaving my sight, and that goes for you too, Decepticon." Sari: "I'm the last bot you should be worried about, now let's go!" so with that, the trio of robots went into their vehicle modes and drove, or fly in Sari's case, away from the ship. Unaware to the Autobots, that once they left, Lugnut, Blitzwing and Blackarachnia came out of a hole they dug up and head over to the Elite Guard ship. It wasn't long before Blitzwing takes a device from the bottom of the ship. Lugnut: "The Tachyon Transmitter." Hothead Blitzwing: "You think I don't know what a Tachyon Transmitter looks like?!" Blackarachnia: "Shut up you two!, just go!" shouted Blackarachnia, before she kicks both Lugnut and Blitzwing into the hole with the Tachyon Transmitter. Random Blitzwing: "Last one in is a busted engine block!" said Blitzwing in his random personality, before he and the other two Decepticons left the scene. Elsewhere in Detroit, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Prowl, and Bulkhead were at the park, watching Daniel on the swing set with Captain Fanzone. Daniel: "Oh..." Captain Fanzone: "What is it now?" Daniel: "Nothing uncle... it's just... grandpa..." said Daniel as he looked down, before Captain Fanzone placed his hand on the boy's shoulder. Captain Fanzone: "Yeah... I'm worried about him too, as he's family to me too." Daniel: "It was really nice of you to be here with me at the park, you didn't have to you know." Captain Fanzone: "Maybe not, but your mother asked me to give you some company for a bit, and I know better than to get on her bad side..." Daniel: "Yeah, she can be pretty scary sometimes... like that time a thief tried to rob her purse... only to get himself beaten by her..." Captain Fanzone: "Yeah... those Karate lessons she got herself really paid off... and it's never wise to get on a girl's bad side..." Daniel: "Yeah, like that time with Aunt..." Captain Fanzone: "Please kid... don't remind me..." Daniel: "Okay... but still... I wished that Grandpa was here..." said Daniel, before Bumblebee, Prowl, Ratchet and Bulkhead came up to him. Bumblebee: "Don't worry, we'll find him." Ratchet: "He's right, we won't rest till we find him." Bulkhead: "Yeah, even though he did rebuilt Megatron..." Prowl: "That's not helpful." Bulkhead: "Sorry... but it's true..." Daniel: "I'm sure Grandpa didn't mean to... I mean he did say that Megatron tricked him, how could he have known that he was the bad guy?" Prowl: "He's right about that, and the Professor didn't seemed like the evil type, not to mention he tried to help us on stopping Megatron." Bulkhead: "You're right... I'm sorry Daniel, really." Daniel: "That's okay... I can't really blame you for feeling doubtful of my grandpa after what happened with Megatron and all that..." suddenly, Optimus Prime calls his team through his Com-link. Optimus Prime: "Bumblebee, Prowl, Ratchet, Bulkhead, we have a situation!, the Elite Guard is heading right into a Decepticon trap!, you need to get here fast!" Bumblebee: "Why is this our problem?, they want to arrest us, including Sari and bossed us around since they got here." Optimus Prime: "Doing what's right is more important than our personal feelings right now, and besides, the trap the cons have set up is an AllSpark fragment on a runaway train, with a lot of people in danger!" Ratchet: "Prime's right, let's move out!" Captain Fanzone: "Well don't leave without me, for there's no way I'm gonna let my city get trashed again." said Captain Fanzone, before he and Daniel went to his car and the Autobots went to vehicle mode, before driving off from the scene. Back with the Elite Guard, they arrived where the runaway train was, and on top of it was an AllSpark fragment, which was emitting a lot of it's power that was making the train go really fast and out of control. Ultra Magnus: "The AllSpark fragment is overloading that train, we must remove it before the train explodes!" Jazz: "Then let's make this fragment move it like a set of wheels on some oil slick." said Jazz, before he and Ultra Magnus go to robot mode and jumped on top of the train, trying to remove the fragment. Unaware to the pair, Megatron and Starscream were flying right above them, getting ready to attack. Megatron: "Wait for my signal..." Starscream: "As you command, lord Megatron..." it wasn't long before Ironhide noticed the Decepticon pair, and transformed to robot mode. Ironhide: "Sir!, Jazz!, look out!, Decepticons in the air!" called out Ironhide, before Megatron and Starscream fired and the blast has knocked the Elite Guard off of the train. Starscream: "Missed!" Megatron: "This time... but remember... this is only just a distraction." said Megatron, before Optimus Prime and his team came to the scene. Optimus Prime: "Daniel, you and Sari and Bumblebee get to AllSpark fragment!, the rest of us will try to slow that train down!" Daniel: "You got it!" Captain Fanzone: "Hurry!, we're about to crash into the station!" called out Fanzone, as he can see the station in the distance. So in a flash, Daniel went to use his key to try pulling the AllSpark fragment out of the train, while the Autobots went cut the passenger cars off from the main train and then try to slow them and the train down, which they were able to pull off just in the nick of time. Optimus Prime: "Everyone alright?" asked Optimus Prime to the passengers, who nodded yes and thanked him and the Autobots for saving them. Bumblebee: "Now that's what I call teamwork." Captain Fanzone: "And nothing got blown up, now there's a first." Ratchet: "I don't think the danger is quite over just yet..." said Ratchet, as he can see Megatron and Starscream transforming into robot mode and fired either their fusion cannon or Null Ray blasters at Ultra Magnus. However, before the blasts could hit the Commander, Sari flew in front of him and took the blasts instead, much to everyone's shock or horror. Daniel: "Sari!, no!" Optimus Prime: "Sari!" Jazz: "Did you see that?... she just saved the commander..." Ironhide: "But why?... she's a Decepticon..." Sentinel Prime: "Yeah..." Bumblebee: "She's not a Decepticon!, she's an Autobot like us!, and she's one of my best friends!" shouted Bumblebee, before he, Daniel and Bulkhead ran over to Sari, who was barely online. Prowl: "Daniel, your key, hurry!" Daniel: "You got it!" said Daniel, before he ran over to Sari and used the key to repair Sari, who was now back in action. Sari: "Oh man... that was way too close..." Daniel: "Sari... don't scare me like that..." Megatron: "If you thought that was scary... wait till we show you the true meaning of fear." Starscream: "Funny, I was gonna say the same thing." said the Decepticon pair, before they went down and attack the Autobots, who went to battle them as well. Ironhide tries to battle the Decepticon pair, but Megatron pins him down and aims his fusion cannon at the Autobot's face. Megatron: "Such heroic nonsense..." said Megatron, before Sari goes to kick Megatron in the face, knocking the Decepticon leader down to the ground, while she grabs Ironhide's own hand and helps him get back on his feet. Ironhide: "Thanks for the save, but I could've handled the blast with my super armor plating ability." Sari: "What super armor plating ability?" asked Sari, before Ironhide turned silver/gray colored and then Starscream fires his Null Ray blasters on the Autobot, who didn't seemed to be hurt at all. Ironhide: "This super armor platting ability, which is how I got my name of Ironhide." Sari: "Nice, but can you do this?" asked Sari, before she flies up into the air and then her own Null Ray blasters turned into blue glowing blades and then used them to slash Starscream on the back and knocking him down. Ironhide: "Not bad kid." Sari: "Thanks... now then, let's kick some Decepticon butt!" Ironhide: "Sister, you're starting to speak my language." said Ironhide, before he and Sari, and the other Autobots continued their battle with the Decepticons, until Megatron gets a call through his Com-link from Blackarachnia that she and her group have got the Tachyon Transmitter, which made Megatron smile in an evil way. Megatron: "You won this round, Autobots, but victory will soon be ours." Starscream: "We're leaving?!" Megatron: "Yes, but don't worry... there's always next time." Starscream: "Fine... as you command, fearless leader..." said Starscream, before he and Megatron went to vehicle mode and flew away from the scene. Later that day, the Autobots were back in the Elite Guard ship. Ultra Magnus: "Young bot... tell me your name again." Sari: "Um... It's Sari, spelled S-A-R-I... sir..." Ultra Magnus: "Well Sari... I just want you to know that after the events today... I see that Optimus Prime was right about you... which I witnessed myself when you took the Decepticons' blasts to save me... for that I thank you." Ironhide: "But why did you save him... and me for that matter?" Sari: "Because I had to, for that's what Optimus Prime would have done, and I owe him a lot... he gave up everything to save me and the others without a second thought... and I want to be like him... for he is my hero..." Sentinel Prime: "Oh please, he's many things, but not a hero." Sari: "How so?, he saved me from going offline, protecting the team, and the people of this planet from the Decepticons, if that's not the actions of a hero, than I don't know what is." Ultra Magnus: "I have to agree with you on that, and you have proven that you have the spark of an Autobot... in that case... I've decided to make it official." Sari: "What do you mean?" Ultra Magnus: "I mean... I shall make you an official Autobot." said Ultra Magnus, which made everyone either gasp in shock or in joy. Sari: "Really?, I'm gonna be a real Autobot?" Ultra Magnus: "Yes, you have earned it." said Ultra Magnus, before he asked Sari to come with him into another room, and after a few moments later, the pair came back, and Sari had the Decepticon symbols on her wings replaced with the Autobot symbols, which made Optimus Prime and his team smile and feeling proud. Sari: "Check it out you guys, I'm one of you now." Optimus Prime: "No Sari... you've always been one of us since the day we met... you just needed guidance." said Optimus Prime, before Sentinel Prime made a shocking discovery. Sentinel Prime: "Sir!, the Tachyon Transmitter!, it's gone!" Jazz: "Say what?" Ironhide: "That's not good." Daniel: "What's a Tachyon Transmitter?" Ratchet: "It's a device that we use to made contact with other bots in deep space, like what you call phones, but a much further range." Sentinel Prime: "Not only that, but I found some bot tracks on the ground which weren't ours." said Sentinel Prime, showing the group the footprints. Sari: "That looks like the footprints of Lugnut, Blitzwing and Blackarachnia..." Captain Fanzone: "You know what I think... I believe that incident with the runaway train and all that was just a distraction for us while those Cons stole that Tachyon thingy you're talking about." Optimus Prime: "I believe you're right... Megatron didn't seem all that upset about losing that battle back there..." Bumblebee: "But what would the Decepticons want with the Tachyon Transmitter?" Optimus Prime: "I don't know... but I doubt it's anything good for us..." meanwhile, back in the Decepticon mines. Megatron: "It's time for me to send out a transmission to my double agent on Cybertron..." Starscream: "What shell you tell him?" Megatron: "I shall tell him to tell our fellow Decepticons to make an attack on every space bridge in Autobot space, for the attacks shall make the Autobots go to them to protect the space bridges, but will leave Cybertron defenseless... and once my space bridge is fully operational... I will conquer a weaken Cybertron from within..."
