Chapter 1

Just another day at the Autobot Base, Rafael and Miko are taking turns racing against Bumblebee. Ratchet is tinkering as always. Optimus and Bulkhead went out looking for more energon for their supplies. All the while Jack is helping Arcee with some performance testing.

"Alright Arcee your brakes are great, let's test your acceleration to make sure we can outrun those cons" said Jack.

"Brace yourself Jack" Arcee replied while popping a wheelie and gathering speed rapidly.

When out of nowhere a green portal appears and two cons emerge: Soundwave and Knockout. Arcee quickly hides behind a boulder.

Jack: "Wonder why they are here in the middle of nowhere in Jasper Nevada?"

Arcee: "Whatever it is it can't be good, let's get closer and find out"

Jack: "We should probably radio base as well to let the others know"

Arcee: "I realize that Jack, you do know that I have been an autobot for quite some time now, I am accustomed to our protocols." Radios base. "Ratchet open a ground bridge further down from our current position so we can get these cons from both sides."

Ratchet: "Copy that"

Jack: "Sounds like a plan"

Arcee: "Wait here Jack"

Arcee quietly maneuvered her motorcycle form closer to the two cons, moving from boulder to boulder. Until finally she got close enough behind them to hear their conversation.

Knockout: "Alright why are we here again?"

Soundwave: plays recording of Megatron "Search for any sign of the autobot base. Most of the Bots activity and that of their human pets seems to originate from Jasper Nevada. Don't come back empty handed Knockout or you may just live up to your name"

Knockout: "Oh… right."

Arcee realized that calling for a ground bridge in this case was not a good idea. Because if they were looking for our base all the cons had to do was enter the bridge and drive outside and we would be sitting ducks! She radioed Ratchet: "Call off that ground bridge the cons are here to locate our base"

Ratchet: "I'm sorry Arcee Bumblebee and Bulkhead already went through."

Arcee: "Ok we will just have to be careful, for a return bridge don't do one back to base make it another location to prevent the cons from locating us."

Arcee backed away from her hiding place and went to go check on Jack. When she returned to where she had left him Jack was gone. "ARCEE!"

Arcee: "Jack?!"

Knockout: "Well what do we have here a pet with no owner." He stated while holding Jack in his fist.

Arcee raced out to confront the con who dared to take her partner.

Knockout: "Ah there she is"

Jack was struggling to be released from Knockout's grasp but to no avail. Jack turned his head upwards to face Knockout and shouted "You'll pay for this Knockout I will do more than scratch your paint!" Knockout just smirked at Jack squirming in his grasp "I don't think you are in any position to threaten me fleshie!"

Arcee sped out from where she was hiding and transformed "Put him down!" If looks could kill Arcee would have been able to take out the whole Decepticon army with that glare.

Knockout merely glanced at Jack then back at Arcee knowing she was in no position to negotiate with the con. At which point he responded "Or what…?"

At that moment Bumblebee and Bulkhead appeared cannons blazing, making Knockout and Soundwave take a few steps back.

To which Knockout replied "You aren't going to harm me when I have one of your pets."

Unknown to Bumblebee and Bulkhead their human counterparts went through the ground bridge with them. Ok, so Miko ran in and Raf went to retrieve her. Miko and Raf were behind a boulder that was behind Knockout.

Raf noticed Knockout had Jack "What do we do?"

"Give Knockout a piece of our mind!" Miko shouted.

Miko ran out yelling at Knockout when all of a sudden she was no longer running along the ground for which her feet were desperately searching. She ended up staring right at Soundwave far above the ground. She looked to her left and noticed Soundwave had Raf as well who was too terrified to move.

The autobots gasped "RAF, MIKO WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

Knockout grinned at the pleasant change in the cons favor "Let me correct myself you aren't going to harm me when I have all of your pets. radios base Base we are in need of a bridge."

A green portal appeared and the cons stepped through with the children still in their possession. The bots could not do anything without harming their friends or worse killing them accidentally. So they simply stood there staring in shock as the Cons took their friends away from them.

As the portal disappeared the bots radioed Optimus about the children's current predicament. Optimus told everyone to rendezvous back at base to decide on a course of action to retrieve the children. Ratchet opened up a bridge and the bots ran in worried sick for the children and what the Decepticons could be doing to their charges.

Meanwhile… on the Nemesis

The bridge closed behind the cons as they stepped onto the ship with the struggling humans still in their grasp. Raf looked over at Jack and mouthed "What are they going to do to us?" To which Jack mouthed back "I don't know" with the most defeated look in his eyes. This scared Raf more than anything that had happened so far that day. Miko simply was not giving up though and kept hitting, kicking and throwing insults at both Soundwave and Knockout. "When the bots are through with you, you both will be worth less than junkyard trash! Let me go now and you will only get a few dents ! Let me go you overgrown jukebox!" Knockout glared at the obnoxious human girl and growled "quiet or I will silence you myself!" Miko stared right back at Knockout and said "I would like to see you try!"To which Knockout nodded to Soundwave who emitted an electrical burst into the hand holding Miko, knocking her out. Raf and Jack flinched terrified of what was going to happen to them. Knockout then spoke to the other two "Remain silent and stop fidgeting or you will have the same fate as that brat." Raf quietly sobbed while Jack was analyzing as much of the ship as he could to find a places to hide or escape.

Eventually the cons made it to their destination, the bridge. Standing with his back facing the two, Megatron growled "I hope you have not returned empty handed Knockout, or I'll…" He stopped speaking as he turned around seeing what Knockout and Soundwave returned with or rather who. He smiled eerily at the two conscious human children "Well, well well…" he said his deep voice resonating in the ears of the children, "what do we have here? The human pets of the autobots what a nice surprise, much better than the location of the base. We now have a means of negotiating, finding out the base's location or even exploiting the children's abilities to our advantage." To the last remark he looked right at Raf and Raf looked away shaking so hard Jack thought he was going to pass out or go into shock. Jack glared at Megatron for making Raf feel this way "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" he screamed. To which Megatron simply laughed "And what are you going to do about it… oh I remember you. The one Optimus trusts above everyone else, the honorary prime, you know how much I hate primes" he snarled. He told Soundwave to take the two he was carrying to the brig but told Knockout to stay with Jack. Raf looked desperately at Jack not wanting to be separated from him. Jack spoke to Raf "Don't worry I'll be fine, take care of Miko." As soon as the doors closed behind Soundwave Megatron looked at the boy "Now we both know that isn't true."
