The Con's had been planning a secret raid on the Autobot burrow for months until they decided on a night with a new moon so they could be covered from sight. Tonight was the night.
Megatron gathered his men that desired a Bot rabbit and headed out with them, keeping to the tall grass, shadows, and thick brush. They soon found the Autobot Burrow. Megatron was the first to enter, checking before calling for his men to enter. Once inside they all took great care to stay quiet and sniff out their desired to be mates.
They split up, each one searching for their intended. Normally such caution was unnecessary, as the five Autobots who lived in this particular burrow wouldn't be able to patrol all of the tunnels. However, an Elite Guard convoy had arrived during the mid-sun cycle, bringing with them not only that annoying big chinned Prime and the Head Scientist, but also the ninja and the Magnus himself.
The Decepticons would have been wise to wait for the fools to depart, but it wasn't worth listening to Starscream whine about missing a chance to capture his mate; in fact, Megatron himself was not going to wait to take his little mate. No, his men (and he) wanted their mates, and they wanted them now, not in however many moons it took for the Magnus' team to leave.
For some odd reason Megatron and Shockwave ended up together, both following their intended mates scents. They soon figured that the two they were wanting were housing together and they were right.
A small red, white, and blue rabbit and a mini yellow rabbit were both found in a small nest burrow, curled up close to each other.
Megatron signaled to Shockwave, silently telling him to move in. Working carefully, both the commander and lieutenant picked the smaller rabbits up by the scruffs of their necks. Bumblebee whined softly when he was pulled from the warmth of Optimus's body but he didn't wake.
Smirking internally, the Decepticons removed their prizes from the burrow. They passed Lockdown in the tunnel carrying his own black and gold mate-to-be, and could hear the soft sounds of the others making their way outside.
Megatron, Shockwave, and Lockdown all made it outside and saw that Starscream was already there holding his sleeping black and red to be mate in his mouth. Megatron signaled for them to move out.
They took their time slipping out of the Bot territory and back into theirs.
The journey home did not take long. Every Decepticon knew that if their prizes awoke then they would have been in for a fight. So, for once, the Cons all worked together efficiently and silently. Once home they dropped off their intended in their individual burrows before reconvening in the main chamber to discuss the night's events.
No one had said it, but they were disturbed with the easy that they had been able to obtain their mates-to-be. There had been almost no security, and the little they had was outdated. Starscream, who had split off from the others earlier on, had reported when he re-joined them that even the Security in the main Autobot burrow had been poor, at least around the Science Officers' quarters. He could have made off with the entire Science Division and no one would have known.
Megatron growled at the thought of how easy a predator could sneak in and easily killed of their chosen and no one know until it was too late.
"Those fools must have upped the Mangus's guard while he was there, leavening the rest open for an attack at night." Megatron hissed, his fur on his back standing up showing his anger.
The other dominate rabbits agreed to this and were too enraged but they soon calmed and relaxed. Their soon-to-be mates were with them, safe and protected.
