Transformers --_ Two Worlds Collide _--

[II]

A couple of hours later, Epps and Roadbuster arrived at the N.E.S.T. Headquarters in Washington D.C.

They would put the unknown object on Ratchet's examination table.

"Is Prowl around, or is he on a mission ?"
Ratchet would ask, needing someone to be sure it wasn't a trap.

"Nope, he's currently on a mission in Egypt."
Lennox would answer, after sighing.

"Well, I guess I'll have to understand what that is myself."
Ratchet said, before starting to examine the unknown object.

"All I can say, really, is that it looks like a head."
Epps would say, before laughing a bit.

"It isn't time to do jokes, Robert."
Prowl would say, surprising Epps and Ratchet.

"Prowl ? I thought the mission would've taken a day."
Optimus would say, barely surprised.

-"Well, it took less. Half of one's good enough, don't you think ?"

Prowl would get closer to the storage behind the examination table, storing what he found during his mission in Egypt.
"So, what's the new thing you're playin' with, Medic ?"

-"Well, before 'playing with it', like you say, I needed your help with it."
Ratchet would say, already having enough with Prowl's manner of speach.

-"Why would you need my help with that ? You think it's a Decepticon Trap ?
It's been nine years, Ratchet, don't you think they're all killed already ?"

-"Even after nine years, Decepticons could still be around the whole world."
Ratchet would say, trying to keep calm.

-"Prowl, just examine the object."
Optimus would say, annoyed by the ramblings of the lieutenant.

Prowl would sigh, before pushing Ratchet away to analyse the object.
"Well, it isn't a Decepticon Trap, for all I know. And, as Epps said, it indeed looks like a head. It might even be one. Did you try to connect it to somethin' that could bring it to life ?"

"Using something like the Matrix could be too dangerous. But maybe we have something else."
Ratchet would say, thinking.

"If it was an entire body, however, it would put the whole power through it's entirety, so it wouldn't overload the head."
Lennox would say, back from training other arriving Autobots.

"Maybe we could use one of the training robots ? It could probably be enough, I think."
Prowl would say, for once asking a question without talking to others like idiots.

A couple of minutes later, they would have connected the head to a training bot, and would put it on a table.

"Let's just hope this doesn't end up being a Sentinel Situation."
Bumblebee would say, using the radio.

Optimus would sigh, opening his chest to use the Matrix.
He still wouldn't be sure do the same he did with Sentinel Prime, hoping it wouldn't end up being the Chicago fight all over again.

He'd put the Matrix into the training bot's chest, giving it enough power to give it life.

It's eyes flashed a light red.
It's first reflex would be attacking, but as he was about to hit Optimus in the face, Prowl would shoot it to keep it on the table.

"Where am I ? What are you, creatures ? Decepticons ? Autobots ? What year is it ?!"
The new being would say, like it was not from Earth, atleast not the one Optimus and the others were on.

"Identify yourself, scrap-heap !"
Prowl would say, pointing his cannon at the head of the new being.

"I am Starscream, former second in command of Megatron, who was the leader of the Deceptic-"
'Starscream' wouldn't be able to finish his sentence, that Prowl would start choking him.
