Afraid the chapters aren't gonna be all that long since it's just a short story. But hope you will enjoy it. :)


Time has passed since they saved Arcee and her and Wheeljack spark bonded and Arcee were showing signs of improvement, showing that the Dark Energon were removed from her spark and her systems. They been through many things including getting a new recruit who grinded all their gears with his antics. One day they received a signal for a Cybertronian artifact which turned out to be the key to the Omega Lock and they went on a hunt to find all the others. They managed to get three keys which were taken from them by Starscream who took all four keys to Megatron and got back into his good graces. Later they ended up getting into a battle on Cybertron for procession of the keys and to unlock the Omega Lock and the Decepticons got the upper hand by bringing in the kids.

The bots all looked in surprise as Megatron told them the bargain, "Put down your weapons and hand over the keys and you can get your human pets back" he said with a smirk. One by one they put up their weapons and Bulkhead stepped forward to give his key to Knockout for Miko, then Bee stepped forward to give his key to Soundwave for Raf, they both took the kids back over to the rest and Megatron looked at Optimus, "Since this boy was entrusted with the Matrix card I believe he's worth two keys"

Optimus glared at him. Megatron's smirk then grew wider as he optics moved over to Arcee, "Also Arcee must agree to come with me and be mine again"

Wheeljack stepped in front of his mate, "Not happening, she's my mate now and there's no way I'm letting you take her again" he said with a snarl.

"You better, if you want the human back"

Arcee glared at him before looking down at Jack, "Alright, if it's to save Jack I'll do it" she then said as she started walking towards him with the key in hand, Smokescreen followed. They handed Starscream the keys and Smokescreen took Jack back over to the team while Arcee went to stand with Megatron, It's alright Wheeljack, you will always be my mate no matter what she told him through the bond.

I'm not letting him have you, I'm getting you back the first chance I get he responded back. Just then a groundbridge opened up and a bunch of Vehicons came running through and they surrounded the bots, with their guns out and pointed at them. The bots looked all around as they stood protectively in front of the kids. Then Optimus decided to go for his sword, taking down a few Vehicons he grabbed his sword and struck down a few more before charging at Megatron. Megatron ran at him with his sword drawn ready to fight.

The bots all started firing at the cons as Wheeljack ran to Arcee and grabbed her then took her back over to the team just when a groundbridge opened up. The bots then grabbed the kids and ran through the portal.

They get back to base with the kids, "The children? What happened?" Ratchet asked feeling confused.

"Optimus destroyed the Omega Lock" Bulkhead said in disappointment.

Ratchet then went on a rant about it and some words were exchanged until Fowler came onto the monitor, "Prime! What is going on out there!? I had to order an evacuation of Jasper"

"What are you talking about Agent Fowler?" Optimus asked not sure of what he was referring to.

"I'm talking about the giant tower that was set near Jasper, which seems to be run by the Decepticons!"

Optimus looked at him in confusion then him and the other bots went up top to see what he was talking about. Once they was up top they saw the big, Cybertronian tower, "Megatron must have made this when he sent the beam from the Omega Lock to Earth" Optimus said. They then found themselves being under attack and was forced to pull back to the lower grounds where they started their escape. One by one the Autobots left with the kids to get out of harm's way. Wheeljack however wasn't gonna run, he went to the Jackhammer and flew out to confront the enemy. After a bit of shooting and taking down quite a few drones he ended up being taken down by Starscream.

Optimus and Ratchet saw to it all the bots with the kids got out then Smokescreen, then lastly Ratchet left, leaving Optimus in the base. He looked over at the monitors as he drew out his sword, he knew he had to destroy it to keep the cons from getting the location of where the bots are and from getting any secrets. Just as he brings the sword down to smash the monitor Megatron fires a laser beam upon the base blowing it up to where it was nothing but scrap metal.

Megatron then flew down to look through the scrap heap, "I hope Arcee got out" he said to himself as he looked around, he could care less if the others got out, he wants them to be dead, he just cares if Arcee made it out.

Starscream then showed up to present to him an injured Wheeljack, "My lord, we have captured the Wrecker, Wheeljack"

"Megatron looked at the damaged Wrecker as a smirk formed on his face, this was perfect. This is his chance to get rid of him once and for all.


Arcee was driving around with Jack, trying to stay out of sight of the Decepticons. She was worried about Wheeljack and hoped he was ok, Wheeljack. Wheeljack come it she tries to get ahold of him through the bond but got nothing, "I can't get him through the bond and I'm not gonna try the comm. Link" she told Jack.

"Do you think he's still alive?"

"I know he is, if he was dead I would feel it. He's still alive"

"Hope he's alright"

"Me too"
