This just popped in my head after I watched the new episode yesterday. Finally, I mean the whole season they have been hinting on the kids' capture and here it is. They haven't been in the show for a while and it's nice to see them again.

Anyway enjoy. This takes place right where the last episode ended.

Nobody moved.

Megatron looked Optimus square in his optics, "So Optimus, what's it going to be? The keys or your pets?" He said with a small smirk.

Miko pounded on the glass yelling, "Don't worry, Boss Bot! Just keep the keys!"

"Miko?!" Bulkhead yelled in concern.

"Bulk, we're fine. We've been through worse." Miko said adjusting her uncomfortable position.

"Jack!" Arcee called, "Are you guys okay?"

Jack paused a second checking his body over, "Yeah, I think."

Bee reached out towards Raf as he pressed his face against the glass calling Bee's name. He tried to clam himself down, but he was having trouble. If he lost it when the 'Bots left them in that control room the first mission, then being threatened by Megatron would surely get to him.

Raf couldn't help it when his breathing became rapid and tears were making his vision blurry.

"Raf!" Jack called looking towards the young boy. Raf turned his head and wiped his eyes slowly. "You need to calm down and slow your breathing. We're locked in an air tight container, if we use all of the oxygen we have before the 'Bots can save us then…"

"We're gonna suffocate!" Miko shrieked covering her mouth.

Jack silently nodded his head.

Miko bit her lip and looked back towards the Autobots.

Megatron slowly backed away from Optimus and turned around towards Soundwave, Knock-Out and Starscream. He motioned for them to hand them over and they did.

Megatron chuckled as he slowly placed Jack's container on the ground. Jack quickly stood up to regain his balance.

Megatron smiled and looked up at Optimus, "You better hurry up with your decision because if you don't I could drop one—" He let go of Miko's container letting it fall.

Miko screeched and Bulkhead lurched forward as if he was going to catch her, but he was way too far. Megatron kneeled down and caught her centimeters before she crashed. Bulkhead sighed in relief and Miko narrowed her eyes up at the Decepticon leader, "Not cool, man."

He ignored her and turned to Raf, "I remember you." He said tapping on Raf's glass. He flinched and backed away as far as he could from the monster. "Yes, you are the one I almost extinguished. Maybe I'll get to finish the job this time. Because I like to finish everything I start."

Bee pointed his blasters at Megatron, "Put him down, you slag-head."

"Nah ah ah," he said placing Miko on the ground and pointing a finger at Bee, "You wouldn't want to be the cause of your pet's death, would you?" He lifted his blaster towards Raf's container making it glow a bright purple.

"Bee…" Raf called with his eyes shut tight as tears fell down his cheeks. Megatron didn't lower his gun.

Everyone was so wrapped up in Megatron, they didn't notice Optimus contacting Ratchet. "Optimus to Base."

"Optimus! What is it?" Ratchet said quickly, he had been anxious waiting for something, anything to be reported, but he didn't know it was going to be anything like this.

"Megatron has Jack, Miko and Rafael." Optimus said with worry in his voice.

Ratchet was silent for a moment, "It can't be. I just talked to them, they were at school. I told them to go home."

"The Decepticons must have tapped in on your phone call." Optimus said.

Ratchet didn't answer. He was back at Base blaming himself for their capture. "If I had picked them up then they would be safe, we'd have Cybertron and we would have won…It's all my fault…"

Optimus frowned when he heard this, "Do not beat yourself up for this event, Old Friend. It is not your fault, but I must decide do I give up the keys—and Cybertron for the children or keep the keys and lose the children."

When Ratchet said nothing more Optimus sighed and ended the comm. link. Optimus picked his head up and saw Bee in front of all the Autobots pointing his guns at Megatron who was pointing his gun at Raf.

"Megatron, you may have the keys, but please return the children." Optimus said.

Smokescreen looked at their leader in surprise, "What?!"

Bulkhead turned to the rookie, "Listen newbie, those kids have been with us as long as The Deceptions have been at us on this blasted planet. We ain't giving 'em up that easy."

"But the keys!" Smokescreen shouted.

"I have a plan." Optimus aid behind his battle mask.

The Autobots looked at Optimus in confusion, but slowly lowered the keys to the ground and Megatron put Raf to the ground next to the other two. Miko, Jack and Raf all exchanged shameful looks, because of them the Autobots were losing Cybertron.

Or so they thought. Once Raf was lowered to the ground and Megatron's grip vanished Optimus yelled, "Now!"

And they were off. They dashed towards the Decepticons to get the children. But, they were too slow Megatron growled and threw each container that the kids were in one at a time.

First was Jack, but Arcee's quick reflexes helped her catch Jack before he fell. He smiled and looked up at Arcee and thanked her before they shot their heads up when they heard Miko yelling, "Go long, Bulk!" She was trying to act brave and either she wasn't scared or she's the best actress.

Bulkhead dived to catch her and caught her in one hand. Miko laughed and said, "Great job, Big Guy." Bulkhead breathed a sigh of relief before letting out a shaky laugh.

Bee charged towards Megatron as he picked up his charge. Megatron was outraged, how did they catch these things so quickly? He howled before throwing Raf's towards the ground so it was impossible for the scout to catch.

Raf didn't even time to scream before he collided with the ground. He cringed as he smashed into the ground but didn't breath anything in. He picked himself up and covered his mouth quickly as if that would help.

It all seemed to go in slow motion, Bee continued running to Raf as The 'Bots watched in horror and the Cons laughed. Bee grabbed Raf and immediately started shooting towards Megatron.

The four were surprised as they dodged the scout's bullets, but soon all the Autobots were firing at the em, so they shot back. Arcee and Bulkhead hid Jack and Miko in the back.

Bee pushed Raf closer to his spark and protected him as he continued to fight.

Miko and Jack looked over at Bumblebee and Raf with extreme worry. Miko grabbed her phone out of her pocket and dialed in Ratchet's comm. link.

He answered with no life at all. "Hello?"

"Ratchet!"

"Miko?" He said gaining a little ore life. "I thought the Cons had you?"

Miko groaned, "Well, sorry to burst your bubble, Ratchet, but we're with the Bots and fine. Well, kind of, Megatron broke Raf's glass thingy and he can't breath. Can you bridge us back. Hurry, he can't hold it forever."

"Right away." Ratchet said rushing towards the computer and locking on to Bee's coordinates figuring Rafael was closest to him. He slowly emerged from the ground bridge and charged at Knock-Out who was currently shooting at Bee and punched him the back of the head causing his optics to roll to the back of his helm and fall.

Bee thanked him and handed over Raf who was close to unconsciousness too. Ratchet held the young boy close to his spark as Bee was doing before rushing the Miko and Jack. Miko was jumping up and down in her container trying to catch his attention.

Ratchet swooped down and swiftly picked them both up before looking for any oncoming battles and ran to the open ground bridge. He turned to Optimus and saluted him before disappearing.

Optimus smiled before pulling out his Star Saber and charging Megatron. This was one battle they couldn't afford to lose.

There may be one more chapter, not sure. Should I? What do you guys think?
