Chap 4

"Good, Ratchets here," bulkhead said.

But it wasnt ratchet, like everyone was exspecting. Instead platinum jumped through and began fighting.

"Platinum?"the autobots was surprised. Even she wouldnt disobey an order, they knew.

"What?" Starscream was also surprised. Then he changed his order "decepticons, bring me that autobot!" He screamed.

"Uh, sir, which one?" A soldier asked.

"The one that just arrived! Now- get her!" the cons did what he asked.

Starscream contacted megatron. "my lord! the new autobot- she's here!" he said right as a decepticon flew over his head. he ducked to prevent from getting squashed.

"excellent!" megatron said. "whenever you get the chance, bring platinum to me."

"yes my lord," starscream cut off the signal. "I'm getting to it."

"platinum, what are you doing here?" arcee asked her, yelling over the sound of blasters.

"i offered to go instead of ratchet!" platinum yelled back as she engaged a decepticon.

bulkhead whacked a decepticon with his wrecking ball"and he let you?" he asked.

"no, but i put up a good argument!" platinum engaged another 'con.

everyone did the same.

at one point, as Arcee was running, a decepticon driller cornered her and started his machine. the drill's rivets rotated back and forth.

just when she thought she was done for, platinum jumped up onto the drill's rider and engaged him in combat. she pressed the off button and the machine stopped raging towards Arcee.

Arcee sighed in relief. "thanks!" she called as she slipped out of the corner.

"No problem!" Platinum yelled.

Then she looked at starscream "speaking of problems..." She charged starscream.

"Ahh!" He yelled. He aimed his cannon at platinum. But right as he shot, platinum pushed his hand up and he shot in the air. Platinum and starscream followed the bullets path as it flew and hit a rock behind them.

Platinum seized this oppertunity to grab starscreams arm and lock it behind his back.

"Dont move scared-scream, or your arm gets rippes off! Now, tell me what megateon wants me for, or-" plarinum tightened her grip on his arm.

Starscream yelled in pain. "Youll never make me talk!" He yelled.

She made the lock even tighter. The stress of the move was making metal creak and crack.

"Eeek... All right, all right ill tell you!" He squieled. Platinum loosened her grib sligtly.

"Megatron wants the scarlet gem." Starscream said.

Platinums eyes narrowed "But even he knows it must bestowed apon someone for an act of bravery. As evil as he is, he respects the military's ways including being given honorary emblems."

"He wants it for its healing properties!"

This last sentance stunned Platinum so much that she let go of the decepticon completly. This gave starscream his advantage. He turned and as quick as light wrapped his arm around her neck, as if she were being held captive. He then squeezed his arm around her neck. Platinum yelled in pain.

"You autobot! You all have been weak soldiers from day one!" Starscream told her.

"You- you know what a weak soldier is?" Platinum said theough clentched teeth.

"What? You right know" Starscream chuckled at his joke.

"No. Its what youre called when he fails to watch his back!" Platinum said.

Starscream was confused. "What?" He turned his head and saw optimus aiming his cannon at him.

"Scrap."

"Release her, starscream. Before i make you!"

" Oh,I dont think so, optimus prime!" Starscream turned and aimed his rocket at platinums head.

For a moment they just stood there. Then optimus nodded at something behind starscream. Platinum narrowed her eyes in confusion. Then realization dawned on her. "Oh!" She muttered under breath.

Suddenly a loud CLANK! came from starscream.

"Ow!" Starscream muttered and fell to the floor, releasing his grip on platinum. Standing behind him was arcee, who apparently had wacked scream in the head with her cannon, knocking him out.

Platinum rolled her hurt shoulder "thanks." She said to arcee.

"Hey, i owe you one." Arcee changed her cannon back into a hand.

Optimus nodded to them both from afar then ran to join the fight.

Arcee watched him go then she and platinum ran after him to do the same. Luckily there werent to many decepticons but this gave starscream a chance to recover and flee. a ground bridge had opened to his left. He waved his hands and the few remaining decepticons ran through the portal with the energon.

"So long autobots!" He yelled and aimed his gun at the cave's ceiling before running through the portal. rocks and chunks of cieling began to rain down on the autobots.

"Someone call a groundbridge!" Bulkhead yelled.

"too late!" Platinum yelled back. Everyone looked up at the cieling and a giant chunk began to loosen.

"Find cover!" Platinum yelled and dived for the nearest safe spot. Everyone else did the same.
