Transformers Prime:Diplomacy
Chapter 1
The moon was shining bright in the sky over the desert near the small town of Jasper,it was fairly quiet inside Autobot Outpost Omega 1,the only sounds coming from Ratchets welder as he worked through the night in his lab and the low sound of the TV coming from the main room as Miko and Bulkhead were up watching the late night monster movie.
Little that everone would know,the quietness would soon be put to a end as a familer loud noise started echoing through the base,making Ratchet drop his tools and roll his eyes as he facepalmed his hand.
"Jack,wake up...Alex is crying..."Arcee said sleepily,waking from her rest cycle as she turned over laying a hand on Jack's shoulder and shaking him gently.
"He's probably just hungry..That's a job for his mother"Jack answered as he turned on his left side,pulling the sheets up more over his chest.
"That would be true if I were Human...Besides,It's your turn"Arcee responded,hearing Jack snore as he fell back asleep as Alex continued to cry.
"Jack!"Arcee said again louder,shaking Jack harder.
"Alright...Alright...I'm getting up..."Jack said as he threw the covers back,sitting up and rubing his eyes before standing up and walking over to Alex's bed and picking him up and began to walk out as the metal doors opened automatically as Jack neared them.
He then proceeded to the small kitchen that joined the main hub of the base,staggering a little as he walked down the hall way and seeing the glow of the TV as he opened the refrigerator.
"Let me hurry and get another soda Bulk while it's on commerical!"Came Miko's voice as she desended from the upper level,walking into the kitchen and seeing Jack leaned up sleepily against the counter,Alex in his arms as Jack mindlessly fedhim.
The sound of the refrigerator door opening again quickly made Jack open his eyes,finding Miko beside him,opening a soda.
"Don't you ever sleep Miko?"
"I could ask you the same thing Jack...What is this?...The third night in a role that Alex has awakened during the night?..and waking the whole place up as well"
"That's what you sign up for when you choose to have a baby Miko...You will understand one day when you..."
"Just hold it right there...I'm not becoming a mother..I get all the mother experience I need helping take care of Alex...That's enough for me"
"Hey Miko!...Movie's coming back on!"Came the voice of the green Autobot wrecker as Miko exited the kitchen.
"Coming Bulk!"She shouted back as she quickly climbed the steps leading up to the sofa.
It didnt take long for Alex to finish his bottle,making Jack sigh in relief that he could head back to bed.
The automatic doors to their room opened once again as Jack walked inside,going over to Alex's bed and laying him back down,shortly before going to his own bed and finely resting his head against his pillow again as Arcee moved closer,wraping her right arm around his waist.
"Mmm...Was he hungry?"Arcee asked softly,leaning down and kissing the back of Jack's neck.
"Yea...Maybe we should start feeding him right before we go to bed"Jack suggested yawning and moving back more into Arcee's embrace.
"Already tried that...He doesn't want it then"
"Well we need to find some type of solution to Alex crying at night..I mean it doesn't bother me...We're just getting bad vibes from everyone else...I think it's about time we started looking for our own place"Jack said before yawning again.
"Yea,I know what you mean Babe...I'm not sure long much longer I can keep threatening Ratchet...But where can we live?...It's not like I can fit through the front door of a house...and I'm not staying in the garage when you and Alex are sleeping upstairs"
"I'll talk to Fowler on Monday and see if he can come up with anything"Jack said yawning one last time for the night before drifting back off to sleep.
"What would we do without you?"Arcee asked softly,smiling before laying back down and re-entering herself in rest-mode.
...
The sun rose over Jasper the following day on a beautiful Saturday morning,Jack was off work at the Agency and he was planning to spend the day with Arcee and Alex.
He left their bedroom after dressing himself,walking down the hall of the base toward the main hub,leaving Arcee behind as she gave Alex his morning feeding.
He entered the kitchen,finding Miko already sitting at the table and eating her breakfast.
He then proceeded to remove the milk from the fridge and his favorite cereal from the cabinet,finding the box empty.
"Miko?...Did you eat the rest of my cereal?"
"What if I did Jack?...I don't see your name on it"
"Miko!"
"Geez...Calm down...You can have some of mine"Miko responded as Jack took another cereal box out of the cabinet.
"Someone's cranky this morning...Is it maybe because he didn't get enough sleep?"
"Shut Up Miko"Jack said,taking a seat at the opposite ending of the table as he poured milk into his bowl.
"Miko...Hurry up and finish eating...Cartoons are about to come on"Bulkhead said as he stood infront of the TV.
"Almost done Bulk!"Miko shouted as she rushed to finish the last of her cereal as the base's alarm sounded
"Well there's the start to my not so peaceful day"Ratchet said shutting the alarm off,starting to check what caused it.
"What is it?!...Con's?!...MECH?!"Miko asked,shouting,turning backwards in her chair to look at Ratchet for answers.
"Calm down...It's just Fowler"Ratchet said turning to his computer."Yes Agent Fowler...What is it?"
"And a Good Morning to you too Ratchet"
"Agent Fowler...My good mornings seized to exist ever since Jack and Arcee brought that child into this place...And I hold partly the blame on you for suggesting that they adopt...if I was in charge I would..."
"But you're not in charge are you Ratchet?...Optimus is...Last I head he's very taken with the little tike...Which reminds me...Where is the Big Guy?"
"He's on patrol Agent Fowler...Something I can help you with?"
"Im in-route to the base...I'll be there within the hour... Just make sure every Bot is there...Including Miko"
"What did you do...?"Jack asked glaring across the table at Miko as she swallowed a mouthful of cereal to answer.
"What?...I didn't do anything...I swear"
"Miko's right...She hasn't done anything...recently that is...This concerns something she did a few months ago...In Japan"
"I thought all of that was settled Agent Fowler"Ratchet asked
"I thought so too...But there's been some recent developments...I'll explain it all when I get there...Fowler out"
...
Everyone was gathered in the main room of the base including Raf as he sat upon Bumblebee's left shoulder,Miko on Bulkheads shoulder, and Jack standing infront of Arcee as they all waited till Fowler was out of the restroom to brief everyone.
"Right...Where was I?"Fowler asked as he re-entered the room, straightening his tie.
"You were saying something about the Prime Minster of Japan"Miko said rolling her eyes.
"Right...Ever since Miko's last visit to Tokyo,the President has been in contact with the Prime Minster of Japan who's been requesting further information on the whole incident...He knows our department was involved and he know's the...existment of the Autobots"
"And how did they learn that Agent Fowler?"Optimus asked
"Well it seems some security footage of Bulkhead in Robot mode made it into the hands of the Prime Minster"
"HA!...I knew it was just a matter of time till our presence was known...Between Bumblebee's pictures circleing the Internet to Bulkheads big backside...I'm surprised our secret lasted this long"
"That's enough Ratchet!"Optimus ordered looking over to his medic before turning back to Fowler."What's the full situation Agent Fowler?"
"Actually it's not that bad Prime...The Prime Minster is cool with you being on Earth...All he's requesting is a meeting with all of you in person..To prove that you can me just as much of an ally to Japan as you are with Uncle Sam"
"Then we shall go to Japan and meet with it's Prime Minster"Optimus responded
"Don't think for one second you Bot's are going alone...I'm coming with you...Someone has to speak on your behalf for Mankind"
"Can Jack come too?"Arcee asked looking down to her husband
"I don't see why not...Will be nice having Jack there assisting me...He's better at explaining you Bot's more than me"
"It will be like our second honeymoon"Jack said looking up to Arcee smiling as she smiled back.
"If Jack is going...I'm going too"Miko said from Bulkheads shoulder.
"I don't know Miko...Remember last time?"
"Awww...Come on Bulk...we will have so much fun...and I promise to behave"
"What do you say Fowler?...Can Miko come along?"Bulkhead asked
"I'm probably going to regret it but...Consider yourself in kid"
"Sweet!"Miko shouted
"Can I go to Agent Fowler?"Raf asked."It will be lonely here without Bee"
"If I'm crazy enough to allow Miko to go,I can't say no to you can I Raf?"Fowler said before turning to Ratchet."What about you Doc...Wanna come along?"
"Please...And give up the peace and quiet I will have?...No thank you"Ratchet answered
"I'm going to have to agree with Ratchet Agent Fowler...With the rest of us in Japan...We need someone to stay behind and operate the Groundbridge..That is Ratchet..If you don't mind?"
"No..No..Course not...How soon can you leave?"
"We leave first thing Monday morning...make sure you all pack your toothbrushes"
...
"Why am I sitting on this boring plane when I could be in Tokyo right now going to the best karaoke clubs in the city?"Miko asked,turning to Jack as he sat,leaned back in his seat,eyes closed and earphones in.
"Jack!...Get those things out of your ears and talk to me!"Miko said again,jerking them out and making Jack quickly raise up.
"What the hell Miko?!"
"Why am I stuck on this plane when Me and Bulk could be zooming around Tokyo having some fun!?"
"Because Fowler already told you Miko...We're In Japan on diplomatic reasons...And it will help if we're in the country legally to start with"Jack said turning to look at Miko."Which reminds me...Be on your BEST behavior"Jack said as he glared at Miko.
"What?...What did I tell her?"Fowler asked sleepily from the seat behind Jack waking from his nap and looking around."Are we there yet?"
"No Agent Fowler...We just took off an hour ago"Raf answered in the seat next to him,turning his head to look out of the window
"Miko...Will you just Relax and enjoy the flight..Bulkhead is waiting for you along with the other Bot's at the airport"
"I don't see how you're so calm Jack...You being away from Arcee and all"
"I couldn't bridge over with Arcee if I wanted to...You know how the Groundbridge effects Humans who arent used to it Miko..Me and Arcee wasn't about to take Alex through it"Jack said as he turned to check on Alex who was in the seat next to him,asleep in his carrier.
"We will be serving lunch soon...May I have your orders?"Came the voice of the airline stewardess as she approached them,handing out menus.
"Ummm..I'll just have a Cheeseburger"Raf answered as the stewardess wrote Raf's order down before turning to Fowler.
"And for you Sir?"
"I think I'll have the sushi"Fowler said handing his menu to the stewardess."If I'm going to be eating in Japan...I might as well get used to the food...Right Miko?"
"Hey don't look at me...I hate fish"Miko answered,glaring over her menu as the stewardess moved forward to take Her and Jack's orders.
"Didn't you try the food last time you were in Japan Agent Fowler?"Raf asked
"Are you kidding?...I didn't try much of anything...Only thing I saw was the inside of a cab and the police station where they were holding Miko...This time around I'm making sure I have the time of my life"
"What did happen in Tokyo Miko?Raf asked
"I don't want to talk about it..."Miko responded,slumping down in her seat.
"Go on...Go ahead and tell them"Jack said as he handed over his menu.
"Well...Okay...It happened like this" Miko began
(Flashback)
"This is called breaking and entering Miko...We really aren't suppose to be in here"Bulkhead said as he held the huge metal door up as Miko walked under it."What if we're seen?"
"Relax Bulk...We're just going to go a couple laps around the track and crush a few cars...No one will ever know we were in here"
"But Miko..."
"You came here to join me because you said you wanted to have some fun...Well we're going to"Miko said as she finely stepped out onto the dirt ground of the stadium that was hosting Japan's biggest monster truck rally as She and Bulkhead looked around in awe and amazement.
"Whoa..."Was the only word that Bulkhead could manage as Miko ran out into the center of the arena.
"Have you ever seen jumps this high Bulk?!...And these trucks!...How cool are these trucks?!"Miko yelled as she ran over to where the rows of monster trucks were parked for the night,quickly getting her phone out and filming each one,not missing any detail.
"We better go Miko...Your Parents are going to worry"
"Let them worry...I'm having way to much fun"Miko said as she flimed more."Take a quick lap around the course Bulk...Let's give Raf and Bumblebee something to be jealous at"
"Then we can leave Miko?"Bulkhead asked
"Of course Bulkhead...But I wanna see some action first!"
"Alright...Here goes"Bulkhead responded as he transformed into his vehicle mode and started the lap around the arena.
Miko kept her camera right on Bulkhead,getting every jump Bulkhead made as he made his way around the far end of the course.
"Whoa!..."Miko said in awe as she took her camera off Bulkhead,turning around to get some footage of a hot rod looking truck she didn't see before.
Miko kept filming the truck...getting every little detail of the awesome looking paintjob,unknown that she was standing right in the middle of the course track as Bulkhead jumped the last jump,his headlights glaring right at Miko.
"Miko!..Look out!"Bulkhead yelled as he weaved off the track to avoid hitting Miko...only to crash into one of the monster trucks,setting it on fire.
"Bulkhead!..You okay?!"Miko yelled asking as she ran up to him as he transformed back.
"Yea...Just shook my processors up some"Bulkhead answered holding his forhead."What were you thinking Miko?!"
Miko was about to answer just as the burning truck started a chain reaction with the others,exploding each one and turning the center of the arena into a fireball.
"Awesome!"Miko said staring up,the glare of the fire reflecting off her eyes.
"Ohhh...Scrap"Bulkhead added
(End Flashback)
"It wasn't long after that before the police and the fire department showed up..Bulkhead just managed to transform back before they walked in"
"You mean you got arrested Miko?"Raf asked
"Yea...And I had to spend all night in a cell..along with some other disgusting women...Gross"
"And if it wasn't for Your's Truely bailing you out...You would of been in there alot longer"Fowler said as he leaned up between Jack and Miko's seats.
"What did you tell the police Agent Fowler?"Raf asked again.
"Well considering those trucks ran on highly octane fuel...anything could set it off...like maybe radio waves from a cell phone?..and addition I told the police that "My Client" was accidently locked in after the arena closed for the night and she was just calling for help...and out of fear from a lawsuit...the charges were quickly dropped"
"Way to go Agent Fowler"Raf cheered
"All in a days work"Fowler responded,leaning back in his seat only to raise back up again as the stewardess arived with their lunch,handing each tray out.
"Please tell me you're not going to eat that?"Miko asked,turning around in her seat just as Fowler was taking his first bites of sushi.
"You know...This stuff isn't that bad"Fowler said swallowing before taking a couple more bites.
"If you say so...Just don't say I didn't warn you"Miko responded turning back around in her seat,starting into her own lunch. ...
The plane touched down safely at Tokyo,and with the time change ,it was now early the following morning.
Jack,Alex,Miko,Raf and Fowler went through customs without any problems,before proceeding to pick up their luggage as all the bags started to appear down the converyor belt.
"Ummm...Where did Fowler go?"Jack asked taking a quick look around.
"He said something about having to find a restroom"Raf responded picking up one of his bags off the conveyor.
Jack,Miko,and Raf proceeded to walk down the termial of Tokyo airport,seeing Fowler come out of the mens room as they passed it.
"You okay Agent Fowler?"Raf asked
"Yea...Umm I think so"Fowler answer placing a hand over his stomach."Just a little nauseous...Must be Jet Lag or something"
"Or something you ate"Miko added.
Jack,Raf,Miko,and Fowler exited the airport,seeing a green armored SUV,a black and yellow sports car,and a blue and pink motorcycle already waiting for them.
"Hey Arcee...Where's Optimus?"Jack asked,looking around and seeing no sign of a red and blue semi truck.
"Hey Jack...Optimus is bridging over later...He's in video call with the President"
"Warm up the CD player Bulk!"Miko shouted as she opened Bulkhead's passager side door and climbed inside."And prepare to rock out!"
"No you don't Miko..I need Alex to ride with you and Bulkhead and that means no loud music"Arcee said as Jack opened Bulkhead's back door and proceeded to buckle Alex in the seat.
"What?!...She can't do this!...Bulk,tell her she can't!"
"No can do Miko...Arcee's in charge under Optimus..and He isn't here"
"The plane ride was awesome Bee!"Raf said,resonding to Bumblebee question that he had made in a series of beeps and buzzes as Raf opened the passager side door,taking a seat.
"What I'm suppose to do?...Walk?"Fowler asked as Bumbleebee opened the back side passager door and responded with another series of beeps leaving Raf to translate for him.
"Bumblebee says you can ride with us Agent Fowler"
"Tell him...Tell him Thank's"Fowler said as he sat down in Bumblebee's back seat,holding his stomach.
"Are you sure you're ok Agent Fowler?"Raf asked
"Yea...I'm fine Son...Something like this happens everytime I fly...It's a wonder I even passed flight training"
They all left the parking lot of the airport in a convoy,Arcee and Jack leading the way as they turned onto one of Tokyos busy interstates,heading into the main part of the city.
"So...Tell me about our second honeymoon you have planned for us"Arcee said as she adjusted her mirror to see her husbands face as Jack smiled behind his helmet.
"First I thought we would have some dinner..."Jack began as Arcee cut him off
"You mean you will have dinner"Arcee said chuckling
"Hey!...We will be together won't we?"Jack asked
"Of course we will Babe"
"Hey Arcee...We have a situation back here!"Came Bulkheads voice over the com-link.
"Honestly...Those two can't keep an eye on a baby for ten minutes"Arcee said annoyed.
"Wanna bet that Alex is crying and needs a bottle?"Jack suggested
"Ewwww...Gross"Came Miko's voice after Bulkheads.
"Nope...Diaper change"Both Arcee and Jack said together in unison.
"Just watch the road Bee!..I'm on it!"Came Raf's voice as well.
"Guys...What's going on back there?"Arcee asked as Bumblebee's mechianical voice came over the com-link too.
"Bumblebee...Slow down...What did Fowler do?"Arcee asked as Jack heard Bumblebee's beeps and buzzes on the other end."He did what in your back seat?!"
...
Jack walked out the front doors and down the steps of the hospital and onto the street,overhearing Raf in coversation with Bumblebee when he got close enough and seeing Miko leaning out Bulkhead's window
"Just try to relax Bee...As soon as we can get to a car wash...I'll get it cleaned up"
"Hey everyone"Jack said as he walked up to them.
"Hey Babe"Arcee answered."What's the news on Fowler?"
"Well...He has food poisoning...The hostpital wants him to stay overnight"
"Food poisoning?"Miko began."HA!...I warned him not to eat that sushi...There goes our diplomat"
"Just...BE Quiet for a minute Miko!..I'm trying to think"Jack said,rubbing his eyes between his thumb and finger.
"What do we do now?...Do we go back home?"Bulkhead asked
"No...we stick to what we were sent here to do"Jack began."I'll talk to the Prime Minster...I can do it"
"I know you can Babe"Arcee said as Jack removed his cell phone from his pocket to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Darby?"
"Yes...This is Jack Darby"
"Mr. Darby...My name is Ayumi Kobayashi...I'm personal assistant to the Prime Minster..Your department gave me your number after my attempts to contact Mr. Fowler had failed"
"He must...have his phone off...He does it all the time...What can I do for you Miss Kobayashi?"
"My call concerns the meeting that you and Mr. Fowler have scheduled with the Prime Minster this evening...I'm calling to inform you that they have been some recent changes in the Prime Minsters schedule and he has postponded the meeting till Thurday...I hope this isn't an inconvenience"
"No,not at all Miss Kobayashi"
"Glad to hear it Mr. Darby...We have made hotel reservations for you and your party at the Hilton and according to the Prime Minsters notes to me,he has also arranged a warehouse for your use in the Arakawa Ward..I'm assuming you know its purpose?"
"Ummm...Yea"Jack started to say,turning to look at Bumblebee,Bulkhead,and Arcee parked in the street."Some of our party will be staying and working there"
"Well...I hope you and your party have a wonderful stay in our city Mr. Darby...I look forward to meeting you and so does the Prime Minster"
"We look forward to meeting you too"Jack responded before ending the call and turning back to the others.
"Who was that?"Arcee asked
"The Prime Minster's assistant...The meeting has been postponed till Thursday"Jack answered
"Sweet!...That means we have two whole,fun filled days in Tokyo to do whatever we want!"Miko shouted as Jack and Raf turned to her raising eyebrows."Legally that is"She added.
"Maybe it's a good thing that the meeting was postponed...Fowler might be well enough to talk to the Prime Minster like he planned"Arcee suggested
"Maybe"Jack agreed as he took his seat upon Arcee,placing his helmet on his head and pulling down the visor."But I'm still prepared to do the talking if Fowler can't"
"What are we waiting for?!"Miko called out from Bulkhead's passager side window."Are we going partying or not!?"
"Maybe we will go out tonight Miko...I need to get Alex to the hotel"Jack answered.
"The hotel sounds good to me too right now Miko"Raf added.
"You guys are no fun"Miko responded slumping down in Bulkhead's seat"
...
Jack walked down the fifth floor hallway of the hotel,carrying Alex in his carrier and pulling his luggage behind him,finely finding his room near the end of the hallway
He inserted his key card into the lock of the door as he pushed the door open and walked inside,closing the door behind him
The room was very large,and with a quick look around Jack realized that it was indeed two room as he saw the door leading to the bedroom and was a small kitchen with a sink,small stove,Microwave and was a small couch and chair in the living area,along with a flatscreen TV on the wall.
Jack proceeded to enter the bedroom,droping his luggage and sitting Alex down on the bed as he started to unbluckle him out of his carrier.
"Now lets get you fed"Jack said as he removed a bottle from one of the bags."You mom will kill me if I let you get hungry"
Jack quietly pulled the door to that led to the bedroom of the hotel room,looking one last time at Alex to make sure he was asleep before shutting then went to the sitting area of the room,taking a seat on the couch before turning on the TV and making sure the volume was low.
After several minutes of turning channels and trying to keep up with the English subtitles,Jack turned the TV off to unpack his was inthe middle of unpacking his second bag when the ringer of his cell phone going off on the night table as he rushed to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hey Babe"
"Hey Arcee"
"How are my two boys that I love?"Arcee asked,making Jack blush slightly.
"We're both fine...Just fed Alex and put him to sleep...First chance I've got to get off my feet since we got here."
"I hope your accommodations are lot better than mine...Nothing good I can say about where the goverment put us up"
"I'm sorry Arcee...I wish I could be there with you"
"I wish you could too Jack...But like I said earier,I like knowing that Alex is safe"
"Some second honeymoon huh?"
"I promise Babe,first chance we get we will have a night out on the town...And I'll see what I can do about getting Bumblebee and Bulkhead out of here so we can be alone for a while"
"I would love that Arcee"
"So...Tell me about your room...Let me get the complete image in my head"
"Well when you walk in there's a small kitchen..."Jack began as Arcee interupted him.
"Is there a fridge?...Did you put Alex's formula away?"
"Yes to both...And he's almost out...I'll have to pick some up tomorrow"
"Tell me more about the room"
"Well joining the kitchen is the sitting area,that's where I am...and there's a sliding door leading to the balcony"
"Do you have a good view?"Arcee asked as Jack got up,sliding the door open and steping out onto the balcony,as the evening sun was starting to set.
"A wonderful view of Tokyo's skyline"Jack responded as he looked down seeing electric billboards,lights,and cars.
"What about the bedroom?"Arcee asked,a seductive tone coming into her voice.
"The bedroom and bathroom are in another room..Alex is using the bed now..going to be lonely sleeping there tonight"
"I know Baby...I'm going to be lonely too...We will just have to think about eachother"
"I'm thinking about you now Beautiful"Jack responded,a seductive tone coming to his voice also.
"Ohh Jack...Mmmmm"
"Mmmmmm Arcee..."Jack said as he layed back on the couch.
"Are you getting turned on?"Arcee asked,keeping her seductive tone.
"Ohhhh yes"Jack answered as he removed his shirt and jeans.
"Mmmmm...Try to be quiet...We don't need Alex waking up"
"I will...And what about you?...Want the others overhear?"
"I'm in another room...I'll try to be quiet too"
Jack slowly slid his hand into his boxers,wraping his fingers around his erect member,starting to stroke as he started to let out moans for Arcee to hear.
"Ohhhh Jack!...Work it...Work it Baby!"
Jack started to stroke faster to Arcee's commands,moaning louder into his phone as Arcee picked up every bliss and wonderful syllable on the other end.
"Ohhhh Arcee!"
"Scrap!..I have to go Jack..Optimus just arrived...I'll call you again before you go to sleep...Love you Baby"Arcee said as she ended their phone call,kissing through the phone before she hung up.
"Love you too Arcee"Jack said as he put his phone down, then started to pull his clothes back just got his jeans buttoned when his phone went off again as he reached to answer it,sighing when he saw Miko's picture.
"What is it Miko?"
"Where in the scrap have you been Jack...Your phone has been busy for ten minutes"
"I was talking to Arcee Miko"Jack responded.
"What could you two possibly be talking about for 10 minutes?...Never mind,I don't want to know"
"Did you want something Miko?"Jack asked getting annoyed.
"Are you going out with Me and Raf or not..I need to find out how good you two are singing karaoke so we can enter a contest"
"Miko..Besides the fact that I would hate that...If you forgot since you got here...Me and Arcee brought Alex along...And I don't think a karaoke club is no place for a baby"
"Some boring trip this is turning out to..."Miko started to say as Jack hung up,cutting her off
...
"This better be good Knockout"Megatron said,snarling as he entered through the doors leading to the bridge of the Decepticon war ship,seeing Soundwave and Knockout infront of the computer.
"Indeed it is Lord Megatron,Soundwave here was going through his daily scans of the planet searching for Energon when he discovered recent Groundbridge activity in a part of Earth the Humans call Japan"
"Interesting find soundwave"Megatron stated as Soundwaves faceless visor turned away slightly from the computer screen to nod as his Lord."Do we currently have any operations in that part of this planet?"Megatron asked,turning to Knockout.
"No My Liege"Knockout began."Every scan of the planet we have done always reveals that Energon is scarce in that particular area...And the high count in Human population has always detoured us"
"Well if it isn't us Bridgeing to and from that country...It must be the Autobots"Megatron said as he steped closer to the screen.
"That would be the logicle explanation My Liege...But our recent reports suggest that Starscream also has a Groundbridge...And Airachnid has gone rogue as well...Again"
"What do you suggest?"Megatron asked
"Send a team to Recon the area My Lord...It would be unwise to explose ourselves without knowing for sure"
"A wise suggestion Knockout...And I know the Decepticons that are perfect for the undertaking"
"And who exactly are the Decepticons?"Knockout asked
"Just five Decepticons that recently joined our ranks...
"Why have I not met them Lord Megatron?"
"Because I have been debriefing them personely..To make sure they're not Autobot spies before I give them run of My Ship"Megatron explained as he turned his head to the sound of the door opening.
"Ahhh...Here they are now"Megatron said as five Cybertronians entered the bridge."Allow me to present Onslaught,Blast Off,Vortex,Brawl,and Swindle..Otherwise known as the Combaticons"
"They certainly look like a strong bunch"Knockout stated,looking them over."I'm trusting they work well as a team?"
"I'm afraid you don't know the half of it Knockout"Megatron said with an evil grin."You don't know the half of it"
To be continued...
