Chapter Two: No

"Well obviously not then-" Evilyn stated, making sure Pip wouldn't jump forward and press yes by grabbing the phone.

"Oh so the all powerful phone can only change small things. So it WON'T be that easy." Pip groaned.

"Well maybe we can get out of here another way," Evilyn said, pressing 'No' on the pop-up.

Pip tried thinking it over, but she couldn't get her mind off how cool it would be to burst out of there on a giant flying motorcycle with a big explosion in the background.

Evilyn's face lit up, her fingers hitting the keys as fast as they could. She lightly tapped the send button and only mere seconds later did a ding come from Pip's phone. Pip paused her daydreaming antics and checked the notification.

'Evilyn and Pip both gained invisibility powers.'

"No. Way." Pip exclaimed, reading the text over and over to see if she read it right. "It let you do that?"

Evilyn shrugged. "Apparently- hey it's working, I can't see you! Well I can, but only a white outline. Hopefully no one else can see that."

"No time to waste, Evilyn!" Pip proclaimed. Heading towards the giant automatic door,"It's time for Operation: Breakout!"

MEANWHILE AT THE AUTOBOT BASE

"Bee, did you get the chips?" Arcee asked as Bumblebee drove through the ground bridge.

":Yeah I- scraaap,:" He groaned as he realized the chips were suddenly no longer on his seat.

"What," Smokescreen asked, cockilly. "Did you lose them?"

":Somehow, yes,:" Bee grimaced as he transformed.

"Uh-oh, what happened?" Miko asked, leaning against the railing precariously.

":Well:," Bee started, thinking back. ":Knockout was chasing me on the freeway, I tried to lose him in the city, ended up going past the school, almost hit a couple girls-:"

"You what?!" Ratchet exclaimed.

":Let me finish! Anyway, I kinda lost control of my doors for a second when I slammed on the brakes, then the weirdos hopped in before I could close them again, then Knockout caught up and I sped away, they put on their seat belts, I called for a ground bridge, let them out before driving through, then started explaining the whole thing-:"

"Okay, okay I got it," Ratchet interrupted. "Don't make this into a never ending looped conversation please."

":Sorry.:" Bee apologized.

"I'd say the best thing to do would be to look where you dumped those girls out, they probably flew out with them," Arcee chimed in, Bee jumped a little, he hadn't noticed her presence.

"That's actually a pretty good idea," Ratchet added, rubbing his metallic chin thoughtfully. "I'll send you back, hopefully Knockout didn't find them first."

"Actually?" Arcee said, slight annoyance in her voice.

Ratchet paid her no mind and instead opened up the ground bridge, it's blue-green color swirling to life. Bee went to go through, but Ratchet stopped him.

"Bee wait!" Ratchet yelled before Bee could leave.

Bee stopped and turned to Ratchet, ":Yeah?:"

"This time, don't pick up any girls off the street, we have enough humans." Ratchet ordered, a melancholy look on his face, you knew he wasn't joking.

":Got it, no girls, brb!:" And with that Bee ran through the the ground bridge causing it to disappear behind him.

"Brb?..." Ratchet repeated, confused of the statement. "He's spending too much time with Miko.."

"Hey!" Miko objected, but Ratchet simply ignored her.

WITH BEE

When Bee exited the ground bridge, he found himself back at the same place that he had ditched the tag alongs, and quickly scanned the area for any sign of Knockout or anyone else. No one was there, which was good, because otherwise he would be totally screwed.

He tried to retrace his path, along the road and into the ground bridge, searching for the missing chips, but they were nowhere to be found!

":Scrap! Knockout or those kids must've taken them!:" Bee grumbled, frustrated with himself for losing them. However, just when he was about to call for an unfortunate ground bridge back, he noticed something in the dirt, and knelt down to examine it.

":Footprints,:" he realized. ":These must be Knockout's!:" There was a whole trail of them, leading away from the road. He followed them until he came across two backpacks. They undoubtedly belonged to those girls. ":Uh-oh...they must've run into Knockout.:" Bee continued following them past the backpacks, until they suddenly turned into tire marks, and a few yards later disappeared without a trace. ":And this must be where he bridged away...:" he activated his comlink. ":Ratchet? We've got a situation.:"

MEANWHILE ON THE THE DECEPTICON SHIP

A tall, purple Vehicon walked along its surveillance route down the hall. As it passed two girls slipped by them unnoticed. They had been walking around for ages trying to find some way of getting off this ship.

"This place is a maze!" Evilyn groaned as they rounded the next corner.

"I recognize that door, we've gone in a circle again!" Pip added, pointing to a familiar door.

"Let's face it!" Evilyn stated. "We're gonna be stuck here forever and these phones are usele-"

Pip put her hand up to Evilyn's mouth in a quick motion. Evilyn glared pulling the hand away. "What was that?-" Evilyn questioned.

Pip responded with a silent finger to her lips, using the same finger to point down the hall to where a familiar red robot was standing in the door-way of a strange looking room.

"Master really needs to make up his mind," He said, proceeding out the door. "Does he want me to kill them or not? They refuse to give any information and using any of our weapons would kill them easily. Pathetic creatures humans are."

Pip motioned for Evilyn to follow her as she quickly ran down the hall to catch up to the anonymous giant robot. Evilyn followed reluctantly, not wanting to lose Pip in this maze. They followed as quietly as possible, trying to see if he could lead them to some sort of exit. He turned to a dead-end hallway with a giant door at the end, bigger than any of the other ones they had seen. Knockout stopped, tapping one of his long, dagger sharp fingers on a pad next to the door, which flashed a welcoming green color and opened the door for him to enter. Evilyn and Pip barely made it inside as well before the door close abruptly behind them.

All at once the two girls forgot to follow their target. Taking in the piles of glowing blue cubes stacked along the walls, occasionally a purple one mixed in. But that wasn't the most awe striking part. In the middle was a giant glass cylinder filled with a beautiful blue liquid, which gave the feel of a giant lava lamp. It was so strange and unbelievable all at the same time.

The moment was ruined when a giant red foot placed itself inches from them, making both girls hearts skip a beat. Neither had time to move out of the way from the sheer shock, as the foot moved to step again, taking Evilyn with it and sending her flying back against the door. You could hear a distinct crack in her back pocket, and with it both girls flickered back into visibility.

"Uh-oh..." Evilyn winced as the robot turned to face them, a malicious smirk on his face.

"'Uh-oh' indeed," he echoed as he bent down and snatched them both up before they could even think to try and escape. "tsk tsk tsk, Lord Megatron will not be pleased."

"Crap..." Pip groaned.
