Prowl! We know yer here, just come out already!" ... No answer. A rock tumbled down the rough terrain-ed slope. Ironhide and Jazz tensed as they got ready to shoot, they stood there back to back for about a minute until they were assaulted from the open air above them,shot Jazz with an acid spraying shuriken ( I based Prowl on animated and G1)then wrestled with Ironhide to the ground then tried to slit his face plate with a normal shuriken but was met with a blast from Jazz's plasma blaster ( I just made this up on the spot... Sorry! ) Prowl turned to flee but found he was in the middle of both Ironhide and Jazz, out of options Prowl let a low warning growl and then tried to engage in hand to hand combat with Ironhide. But predicting Jazz would try something he flipped positions with Ironhide. But Ironhide, getting shot in the back, was sent flying across the rough terrain as Prowl fled to north towards Jasper, Nevada.
"Ay! Man you ok?" Jazz ran over to help his friend Ironhide
"Ya" He grunted
"Sorry about tha' friendly fire back there." Jazz said guiltily.
"Naw, it's all good. Ironhide said as he look north to where Prowl had run off to. "Looks like he got away again..."
" hope we get to him before he hurts himself..." Jazz sighed sadly as they started walking north to where Prowl ran off to.
Autobot base
"Hey! We"re getting 3 new energy signatures!" Ratchet said with a trace of annoyance.
Everyone let out a groan, ever since the Optimius - Orion incident everyone had been dead out tired; not to mention M.E.C.H. And Bumblebee's t-cog. They were hoping the troubling incidents would die down a little.
"Alright team, roll out." even Optimus's voice broke a little on the end. Bumblebee chirped and buzzed trying to get everyone's spirit up.
"Bumblebee's right!" Raf piped up, " for all we know it could be some fellow autobots!"
" Yah... Who knows" Bulkhead sighed wearily then transformed and the autobots headed to where the signal was coming from.
"Man 'ah wish we had an alt. mode alreadeh'" Jazz sighed Ironhide and him had been chasing Prowl for the last few lunar cycles. He was pretty worried; he and Prowl had been best friends since they were sparklings, but ever since that INCIDENT Prowl had gone rouge. But he knew there was someway to get the old prowl back, he was positive.
Prowl needed a disguise, an . He quickly found an abandoned police car then quickly scanned and transformed. It was a sleek police car. But he quickly noticed his autobot insignia stuck out to much so he quickly ripped it off and transformed and drove into the city as it was left on the grass next to the other police car.
"Split up,Bumblebee and I will go after the 2 energy signatures; Arcee and Bulkhead, you guys will go after the one alone. Be careful everyone."
There everyone split up into their groups to go after the new energy signatures.
Prowl growled as he noticed he was being followed. he couldn't afford to get caught. Well that's what part of him thought, the other part just wanted to be free stop running away and hurting the people he cared for. But the real part of Prowl was so confused, his body betrayed all his real thoughts, even most of his processor betrayed him telling his body to do things he didn't want to do. That little part of him felt like a bird in a cage.
Arcee and Bulkhead had been tailing the police car for over 10 minutes and they couldn't report any suspicious activity. He/she started to drive in the desert. Both Arcee and Bulkhead tensed, they both knew a fight was coming, and it wasn't going to be easy,
:: I think we have the new energy signature, not sure if its an autobot or if we would need backup. ::
Arcee commed the rest of the autobots while watching the mysterious police car as it kept driving. Until it speed up then made a u-turn to face them and transformed and got down into a defensive position. Both the autobots transfomered and got ready to attack, when Bulkhead noticed the mech standing in front of him was the autobot that had gone rouge after a decepticon attack a few earth months ago.
"Arcee, be careful! This mechs rouge , there might be something wrong with his processor." Bulkhead pointed out. " How do you know this?" Arcee inquired. " a few months before we came to earth, there was a huge scale assault on one of the autobot bases. They captured some of the top ranked 'bots there. His name 's Prowl and he was one of the only survivors, and after the incident he went rouge."
" So you want to take him to ratchet."
"So you follow what I'm saying?"
" sure lets get this over with." Arcee said and they both charged at Prowl. Bulkhead launched his wrecking ball at him, but Prowl easily dodged it and shot a rocket at him and another at Arcee. Arcee dodged and continued to shoot at him dodging as many as he could but getting hit occasionally, he threw an acid spraying shuriken at her. Arcee, not know that it sprayed acid just dodged it but got hit on the back with a spray of acid as she screamed in pain as she tripped and fell. " What in the pit was that?" she hissed in pain. Bulkhead charged once again at Prowl But this time tackling him to the ground. Struggling Prowl tried to get the bigger mech off of him. But wrestling a mech that was both taller and bulkier than was hard. " easy there, we're just trying to help, we just want to help!"
" careful bulkhead! His star- thingys spray ac-" Bulkhead yelled in pain as both prowl and him were sprayed with acid. Bulkhead jumped up as Prowl got got up and hissed in pain and transformed and retreated. As Prowl retreated Bulkhead fell down. Most of his chassis was covered in acid, it was quickly melting all that it touched. Panicked Arcee tried wiping some off but only succeed in taking off a little of of the sides of it and scorching her arm with acid
:: Rachet bulkhead needs medical assistance, we need a ground bridge, now!" a ground bridge appeared in a few nanoclicks. Arcee dragged bulkhead through the ground bridge and onto the operating table. " how in the pit did this happen?" " rouge autobot, acid star-thingy," Arcee tried to explain but was at loss for words. Ratchet quickly examined Bulkhead and began to work on him.
Optimius and bumblebee on the other hand had no problem. They had met Jazz and ironhide on the outskirts of Jasper, still in bi- pedal mode.
"Optimus! Long time no see." Jazz exclaimed.
" old friends, what brings you here to earth?" Optimus asked.
" We are trying to track down prowl and help fix him." Ironhide responded "He has gone rouge, we think it has something the deceptions did to him while they had him prisoner." Jazz explained sadly. Bumblebee excitedly chirped and beeped. "you can? That would be a bunch of help!" Bumblebee sent beeps and chips into his comm requesting a ground bridge.
