The next day the team was trying to figure out how to deal with New Mech, the Decepticons, and the fact that the world knew of the existence of the transformers.

They had come out of the ground bridge and were in China and were trying to stay hidden. While the humans were in the town getting supplies. They had split up and were pretending not to know each other in case New Mech or the Decepticons were nearby.

Shayna was walking down the street when she saw someone from New Mech and went into the nearest building to hide. Hoping he didn't see her.

She was in a restaurant hiding between a wall and some coat racks when a boy and two girls showed up and asked her why she was there.

"I need to get past that guy so I can get back to my friends." Shayna explained.

"We'll help you." Offered the boy who looked to be in his mid to late teens. "My names Kicker and this is my girlfriend Mesha and my little sister Sally."

"Thanks I'm Shayna." "So how are you gonna get me passed him?" Asked Shayna.

"We'll keep him busy so you can get by him." Said Kicker.

"OK thank you." Shayna told them.

Then Kicker ran out kicked the man and ran off with the man running after him.

"Nows your chance Shayna!" Mesha said to Shayna.

"Bye and thanks." Shayna thanked them as she ran off to find the others. And Mesha and Sally ran off to help Kicker.

When Shayna got back to the others she told them what happened.

"Sounds like you had a close call." Said Knock Out who was still recovering from what Arachnid did to him.

"Yeah we better all be careful and on high alert." Optimus Prime told them.

Suddenly Shayna noticed Megatron wasn't there and knew he heard what they had just talked about. And was suddenly horror stricken when she remembered what she heard him say after they had almost killed Starscream. And feared he was going for revenge and told the others.

"This isn't good." Knock Out said knowing what a temper Megatron had.

"We better go stop him before he makes this worse." Bumblebee told them.

Then both Starscream and Soundwave flew off to try to talk him down.

After about an hour of flying they found him.

"Megatron please come back to base before New Mech see you." Begged Starscream.

"I want them to find me so I can put an end to them once and for all." Hissed Megatron.

"But Master we can't risk" Boom! Starscream was cut off by an explosion from a missile New Mech fired at them that caused the seeker to dodge but too late.

The blast hit Starscream in the wings and he was now falling from the sky in a panic trying to regain control only to have New Mech still firing at him.

Megatron flew after him and reached him right when he hit the ground badly damaged and unconscious.

They had lost New Mech but the last Megatron saw of Soundwave was him being captured in some kind of electric net by New Mech.

But before he could worry about Soundwave he had to get Starscream back to the others the seeker was in need of medical attention.

So he rushed him there as fast as he could.

When he got Starscream back to the others they wasted no time getting him to the medbay where Ratchet and Knock Out got to work. Knock Out was still recovering but was well enough to assist Ratchet. While the others waited outside.

"What were you thinking!" Yelled Sideswipe. "Your little quest for revenge got Soundwave captured and just possibly got Starscream killed!"

"They didn't have to follow me." Huffed Megatron.

Just then Knock Out came out.

'How is he?" Asked Bumblebee.

"Ratchet is still working on him but it doesn't look good." "There's serious damage to his wings we're doing everything we can but even if Starscream survives there's a chance he might never fly again." Said Knock Out who sounded close to tears.

Now everyone was concerned all the Cybertronians there knew that if seekers lose their wings they don't last long after that.

"We won't stop trying but Ratchet thought I should tell you all so you can be prepared if the worst happens." Knock Out explained.

"But Ratchet and I will do everything we can to save Starscream and his wings." The cherry coloured medic promised.

To Be Continued.

Cliffhanger for you all. Don't you love those. LOL.
