Chapter 2: A New Home

"This stuff is just… wow."

It was about 10 in the morning as Cade stared down at the Autobot-sized datapad, which now showed large blueprints on it for the design of the scanners and instruments that will be placed in the almost complete med-bay. The med-bay was huge. Everything in AHQ was. The Autobots designed it and the rest of the base, in a way so that each room would be big enough to fit the Dinobots as well at the Autobots; so needless to say, every room was ginormous, even in Autobot standards. Each metallic door was automatic, and was controlled by a scanner in each wall.

The private hangers were also big enough for the Dinobots to enter, if they ever needed to. Cade currently sat on a giant table, in Hound's private hanger. Cade was now working with Josh and the Autobots. Their technology allowed him to create so many new marvelous things. He even designed their new security system for the entire base, as well as helped them with the construction in general.

At first Hound was skeptical of Cade, which was understandable. The Autobots knew that they could not trust any of the humans after they betrayed them. But after Optimus confirmed that Cade and his family are allies, and witnessing how bravely they risked their lives to fight for the Autobots, he decided that these humans were not half-bad.

Hound and Cade actually became quite close when everyone was settling down into their new homes. It was decided that Hound would be Cade's guardian, and Drift would be Shane and Tessa's. Since there was no immediate threat, guarding the humans was not a difficult job, but the Autobots still took precautions.

"We should be able to finish the med-bay soon, all we need is the equipment, but the room itself is ready for use" Hound stated as he turned the data pad off. He took it in his servo and carried it across the room, to a stack of other datapads on an Autobot sized table.

"Although I don't really know how we will use it, since we have no official medic.." Hound mumbles sadly to himself, but Cade could still hear him. Losing Ratchet was a tough loss, and Hound never really forgave KSI for it. Once again, understandable. The Autobot medic was the best one on Cybertron and Earth, the only one actually. Although all of the 'bots had basic training in the medical field, their knowledge did not extend as far as part replacement, surgeries, checkups, and more.

Hound remembered how angry Optimus was when they found out that Ratchet was killed. Prime had smashed the ground in anger, vowing to tear whoever had done it apart. He was not the only one who wanted to do so.

"I'm sorry Hound.." Cade didn't really know what to say besides that. Hound wasn't really one to talk much about his fallen comrades or his feelings. He waved it off, signaling Cade to just drop the subject. He was happy to do so.

Cade looked around the hanger, in an attempt to distract himself from the sudden awkward tension in the room. The hanger was huge, big enough for Optimus Prime to run laps around the room. The wall were all covered in weapons, as this was Hound's private hanger and he could decorate and add to it whatever he wanted.

"When do you think it will-"

Cade's question was cut off as a beeping sound was heard. It was a short, quick beeping noise that originated from the super computer that was against the wall in the room. Each hanger had such a computer, whose screen took up a very large part of the wall. Various knives, daggers, blasters and other weapons that hung there, surrounded hound's screen. There was also a large table, shaped like half a circle that was against the wall. Hound took several strides towards the table, which appeared to be empty. In reality, it wasn't. Hound passed a servo above one end of the table, and suddenly, the control panel to the computer appeared. It contained many buttons, some labels with Cybertronian letters upon them, and each one being illuminated by a white light. It all looked very high tech from Cade's point of view.

Hound tapped several buttons, and Cade watched as the beeping noise disappeared and Crosshair's face popped up on the giant screen.

"Hound you bulbous bastard," he began. "Have you been stealing extra energon cubes from the supply hangar?!"

Cade blinked. The Autobot who transformers from a 2014 green and black Chevy Corvette C7 Stingray to the Autobot before them looked furious.

"What in the Pit are you blabbin' about? I didn't steal slag!" exclaimed Hound, in shock and anger.

"Then explain why we are 5 cubes short of what we had 12 Earth hours ago! And don't try to say Bumblebee or Drift have anything to do with it because they were training with me the entire night while you were hanging out with your new best friend!" Crosshairs had averted his gaze to Cade, lifting his servo up to gesture towards him.

"I didn't take anything 'hairs! Are you sure Brains didn't jack it or something?" Hound asked.

"Of course not you useless piece of scrap!" Crosshairs was about to say something else but Cade cut him off, thinking that this was getting them nowhere.

"Slow down Crosshairs. Tell us what happened, one thing at a time. Hound didn't take anything and neither did Tessa, Shane, or I. Arguing about this will get us nowhere so walk us through what happened."

Crosshairs cycled his vents, and breathed out a noticeable amount of air and dust in an attempt to calm himself down. He looked at Cade and Hound and began once more.

"A new shipment of energon cubes was delivered by the military last night, as scheduled. In the storage hanger, when they first arrived, were a total of 700 cubes. I did a routine count this morning, twice, and we have 5 cubes missing."

"So it's 5 cubes, what's the big deal?" asked Cade.

Crosshairs looked at Cade. "The 'big deal' " he emphasized, "is that we refill our systems with the energon cubes located in the recreational room. The energon supply in the recreational room doesn't need to be refilled for another 4 cycles, meaning that we do not go into the energon supply hanger for another 8 Earth days. The only ones that have access to that hanger are the 'bots and you, Yeager" Crosshairs stared at Cade for several more moments, before finishing with a grave tone.

"If you didn't go in there Yeager, and neither did any of the 'bots, then something or someone broke in."

.. 30 minutes later…..

"… and all the reports have been finished?"

"Yes sir."

"Including the shipment reviews?"

"Yes sir."

Josh nodded his head, and dismissed the worker that he was just speaking too. He adjusted his red tie in a nearby glass window, liking how it looked with his suit. Su picked it out for him.

Once he finished, he made his way down to the lobby of the building to pick up a document he accidently left on the front counter. He wasn't worried about anyone stealing it; the secretaries would have kept it safe until he came to claim it.

When he got down to the lobby, he approached the front desk. His back was turned towards the glass doors leading to the outside of the building, the view being of sand, which eventually lead to the ocean. There was also a road paved for all vehicles to use. It was a gorgeous scene to leave the workplace for.

Josh was just about to pick up the document when the sound of several engines speeding towards the building could be heard.

Josh raised an eyebrow. He wasn't expecting the Autobots today, but since they were here, he could talk to them about his little encounter with Grimlock. He grabbed the file and headed towards the outside of the building, ready to greet the 'bots with a smile on his face.

As he left the building and looked to his right, he saw that the vehicles seemed to be speeding quite a lot, and were not stopping. His eyes widened as all the Autobots suddenly transformers, in mid air. The exotic sound of metal shifting and sliding was heard, as Hound and Crosshairs were suddenly surrounding him, cannons trained on his small, human body.

Josh dropped the document he was holding, as several screams were heard. He snuck a peak towards the large KSI building behind him, seeing that Drift has transformed through the glass building and now had several of his swords pointed on everyone inside. The Samurai-looking Autobot looked furious.

"Whoa whoa," Josh had his hands up in a form of surrender, the documents' contents all over the ground in front of him. "What is going on?" This was definitely not what he was expecting.

"We had a treaty! No more using our resources, no more research without permission, no more ANYTHING that involves any Cybertronians without our say so first! How dare you puny, pathetic humans disgrace our agreement by stealing our supplies! Do you think us fools?!" Crosshairs inches his cannon closer to Josh's head, the heat radiating strongly and in a threatening manner.

Josh whinced. "What are you talking about? We didn't break the treaty, we didn't steal anything!"

Crosshairs seemed to narrow his optics. "Why I would love to just blow the bolts out of you right now…." He growled. "We know you stole from our hanger fleshbag! Admit it!"

"Well ahh.." Josh began to panic slightly. It was true, they didn't steal anything from the Autobots, they had no intention to end the treaty and begin a new war with the Autobots.

"Well don't you have some type of security system or something?! We didn't steal anything, I promise!" Josh said in a panic.

Hound pressed a servo against the top of Crosshair's metallic wrist-plates, lowering the cannon so it doesn't face Josh anymore.

"He's right 'hairs.." Hound mumbled, "our system was hacked clean like it was nothing. The humans don't have that kind of techno, and Cade wouldn't be able to pull off a job like that by himself, even if he had Shane and Tessa's help."

"But Hound, are you sure? I mean they could ha-"

Crosshairs was cut off as another car roared down towards them. Josh easily recognized the yellow and black 2014 Chevy Camaro as Bumblebee sped towards them. Once he was close enough, he quickly transformers into his bi-pedal form near the two mechs and human.

He didn't even pay attention to Josh as several radio recordings played from his radio.

"Dino… robots… leader…. tracks all around…. with… someone else…"

"You mean Grimlock?" Hound asked Bumblebee. Bee nodded and blinked his optics.

"Tracks where?" asked Crosshairs. A blue light appeared from one of Bumblebee's optics, as a blue rectangle appeared, with an image of the supply hanger and the thick jungle behind it. Bumblebee zoomed in, revealing several clear tracks belonging to the one and only Dinobot leader. He zoomed in, and next to the giant T-Rex prints, were other tracks. They didn't last very long before they disappeared, yet Grimlock's footprints kept on going. The second set of tracks looked like a small Cybertronians', which was still a significant size in a human's mind.

"What the Pitt?..." Crosshairs asked quietly as he leaned in a bit, looking closer at the photo displayed.

"What does this mean?" Crosshairs looked at Hound, who looked at Bumblebee as he made the image disappear.

"I think I know…" All three Cybertronians looked down at the human who spoke up.

What Grimlock was trying to tell Josh suddenly clicked. Josh just hoped he was right.

"I think that there is another Cybertronian on the island."
