How long had it been? His crimson optics burned in the darkness. How long had it been since he had been caged. Time had become irrelevant to Scourge. The only thoughts that passed in his mind was that of revenge. Revenge Against Megatron, revenge against that boy, revenge against the Autobots, but most of all revenge against Optimus prime.

"Do you want revenge…"

"More than anything…"

"Do you want power…"

"Power…" Scourge knew not who the voice belonged he just wanted power. The power to take revenge.

"Then you shall have it…" The dark voice faded and a green glow formed in front of Scourge revealing his black frame. The green light took shape of small Pentagon with an M on it. It looked like a disk and when he reached for the disk it changed into a small human sized robot. "Behold Blasthammer…" The dark voice returned. The single opticed Mini-con transformed into a missile truck and linked itself onto Scourges arm.

A surge of power rushed through Scourge. "POWER!"

Five guards formed up aiming their weapons into the smoke filled area that had once been Scourges holding ceil. The five Autobots waited their fingers on the triggers of their weapons.

A pair of dark crimson optics glared back at them from the smoke. The husks of two dead guards flew over the head of the other guards. Scourge stepped from smoke. "I AM SCOURGE!"

"FIRE!" The five guards fired at the Decepticon. Scourge growled and raised his arm. "A MINI-CON"

Scourge roared at the guards. "OUT OF MY WAY" Missiles fired from Mini-con.

Optimus sat at his desk looking at the report. The report disturbed him. Scourge had escaped but not only that he also had a Mini-con too. For one Optimus wondered how scourge had gotten hold of Mini-con. Optimus looked up as heard the ding of his door sliding open.

Someone Optimus hadn't seen in long time walked in. Optimus stood up and if he could smile he would have. Holding out his hand for his visitor he spoke. "Sideburn."

Sideburn grinned and shook his old leaders hand. "You've change Optimus!"

"You haven't change at all!" Sideburn smiled at the compliment. "Can I take a seat?"

Optimus laughed lightly having forgotten to over his former solider a seat. "Of course have a seat!"

Sideburn sat down and watched Prime sit. "You've gained some weight!"

Again Optimus laughed remember he had been thinner. "Your right I have." Optimus set aside the reports on his desk. "So how are your brothers and on the note how's mine."

"You mean Magnus? Aside from a rebuild he's still a Jerk…"

"I would expect nothing less."

"As for Prowl and X-Brawn. There getting stir crazy and I can't say I blame them!"

Optimus would have smiled and Sideburn noticed. "I can see working under Magnus hasn't changed you a bit."

Sideburn shrugged. "What can I say? I'm me!"

The door slip open again this time it was Hotshot who walked in. "I have the reports on the detention center escape."

Optimus took the reports from Hotshot. "Hotshot I'd like you to meet Sideburn he used to be under my command."

Hotshot turned around and looked at Sidburn. For a moment Optimus was worried they'd greet each other at all. Then both Hotshot and Sideburn grinned and shook hands.

"Names Hotshot."

"Sideburn."

"It was nice meeting someone from someone from Optimus old crew."

"Pleasures all mine considering I'm meeting someone from his new team!"

"Swap stories latter?"

"You got a deal." Hotshot left the office. Leaving Sideburn and Optimus alone again.

"So there was a prison brake?"

Optimus nodded grimly. "Here…" Handing Sideburn the most recent report he watched as he read it.

The youngest of the three Autobot brothers almost dropped the data pad. "Scourge…" Sideburn looked at Optimus almost in total shock. "but..but how! We placed in a high security detention center!"

"I know…"

Sideburn stood up. "Optimus I have to go with you!"

Optimus stood up though they where now about the same height he still seemed tower over his former trooper. "No Sibeburn your not under my command any longer."

"But, Prime…"

"No sideburn." Sibeburn clenched his fist and walked out of the office.

Standing a few meters from office stood Hotshot leaning against the wall. Standing up he looked at Sideburn. Sideburn began to speak. "I hav…"

Hotshot suddenly cut him off. "feel like making a few vid calls?" Hotshot was smiling and so was Sibeburn.

"Why are we moving this couch!" Carlos complained to Rad who was at the other end of couch. It was the middle of summer and worse it was the middle of the day.

"Where else am I going to sleep?" Rad countered groaning as they turned the corner.

"Don't you have a room?"

"Yeah, but my granddad is coming to town."

"So?" Carlos nearly dropped his end of the couch as Alexis opened the door for them.

"Might want to watch you step you two."

"sure thing Alexis." Rad smiled responding. Carlos rolled his eyes. "Hey dude stop making googly eyes and keep up your end."

"Sorry Carlos." With some effort and hard work they finally pushed the couch in.

Carlos, Alexis, and Rad all plopped down on the newly inserted couch. "Hey where is your granddad flying in from."

"Tokyo."

"Wait a second." Alexis looked at Rad. "your grandfather lives in Tokyo."

Rad rubbed his head nervously. "Well…yeah…" Carlos and Alexis looked at him. He got even more nervous. Carlos leaned back not really minding but, Alexis was still glaring bullets into him. "Uh…well you see…My granddad was Dr. of robotics and well my dad got degree astrophysics and when he got an offer…Mom and Dad moved to High desert to work on the radio transmitter."

"So your Japanese? Dude that is so cool!"

Rad grinned hearing his best friend compliment Alexis on the other hand wasn't so impressed. "So your granddad has degree in robotics."

"yeah…"

Alexis smiled then beamed and hugged him. "Maybe I can talk to him about the latest developments in micro circuitry!"

"Well…I guess you could…"

"When's your parents supposed to be back from airport anyway."

Rad now loose from Alexis hug looked at his watch. "About an hour why?"

"I wanna go through your garage essay see you have good any stuff."

"you go ahead I'll get us some water." Carlos was already out the door by the time Rad got into the kitchen. Not far behind Alexis was giving her why am I friends with him shrug. Rad chuckled as he saw them.

Carlos pulled out a box he had seen earlier. The box was labeled Family memories. Opening it without ceremony Carlos began to dig thing out of it. Alexis came up behind him and watched as he took out, a took squeaky shark, a miniature fire truck and car carrier complete with three cars, A couple photo albums, a strange devise Alexis picked up. "That it?"

"no there this rice cooker with a note attached. To my beloved son and his Blushing bride…" Carlos couldn't make out the name just the Title Dr. Rad walked up and handed Alexis and Carlos water.

Rad looked down and read the name to himself then said it out loud. "Oniishi"

Alexis looked at Rad in shock. "thee Dr. Oniishi!"

Carlos looked up from stuff he had dug out. "who?"

Alexis glared at Carlos. Had he been paint he would have peeled "Developer of the hyperdyne super computer!"

"yeah…he's my Granddad… "

Carlos needed distract quickly or Rad would be in another one of Alexis crushing why did never tell me hugs. Opening the first photo album he pointed at picture. "whose that?"

Rad thankful for save. As much as Rad like Alexis he didn't want to be crushed alive. The person Carlos was pointing at was Rad's father when he was a kid. "That's my dad."

"Who's that giving him a noogy?" Alexis asked taking her interest away from devise she held.

Rad had to smile. "That's Granddad."

"He doesn't look like a Doctor." Carlos right in the Picture Rad's father and his granddad where dressed to go to the beach and they where standing next to a fire truck passenger side door.

"Your pops looks embarrassed."

"I'd say he was getting a noogy while getting a picture taken."
