The escaped stranger was already cornered by the time the reached the bottom of the hill. Rad raced forward and punched the lead guard in the face knocking him to the ground. Carlos and Alexis soon joined Rad as the formed a barrier between the guards and the escaped prisoner. The guard that was knocked down ran his hand across his mouth as he glared at Rad. He was roughly built with a tarnish brown color to him and when he stood he was a head taller then Rad.

"I don't know you punks are but you will regret that," He growled at Rad.

"Is that so," Rad said, "Then why do I get the feeling that you are nothing but a weakling?"

That was the last straw for the guard as he threw a punch at Rad with full force. Rad simply ducked leaving the guard to punch nothing but air. Rad then took the chance to punch the guard in the stomach witch in turn threw the guard back. As for Carlos and Alexis they made quick work of the other guards that were with the leader. Rad smirked as he watched the three get up from where they were thrown.

"Why you little……" The leader began to say.

"I suggest you leave before we change our minds about letting you go," Rad said.

The only thing he got in reply was a growl from the leader as he and his mechs high tailed it out of there. Rad let out a sigh as he and his friend turned to face the one they had saved. The mech had hidden himself behind a large outcrop to get out of view. Rad went up to him and placed a hand on to get his attention. The mech nearly jumped out of his armor when Rad did this and stumbled forward and giving Rad a chance to get a good look at him. He was a light built mech with a box torso and long cylinder arms and legs and had red and blue colors. His helmet was similar to that of Rad's and his face showed fear.

"Don't worry we got we of those guys," Rad said.

The mech let out tense sigh as he relaxed a bit upon these words.

"I guess I owe you guys big time, huh," the mech said, "My name is Flame Wheel but everyone just calls me Flames."

"My name is Blazer and this Whirlwind and Wingclip," Blazer said, "What happened here?"

"You mean you don't know," Flames said, "Man what planet have three been on?"

"Let's just saw we've been busy," Wingclip said.

"Any ways two years ago, Relen, the dark lord who know runs this planet came to our planet and like totally took over even Optimus and Megatron were no match for him," Flames explained, "Once he took over he built that prison over there and holds everyone there and makes everyone dig in the mines almost day in and day out till we drop. I don't know what his digging for but I bet it isn't good."

"And where is this mine you speak of?" Whirlwind asked.

"Its only a few miles east from here but if you are thinking of going there don't," Flames said, "That is timings with guard, they kill any one who tries to escape."

"Don't worry Flames we won't try knock to do any thing to risk but we do need to free the others as soon as possible," Blazer said.

"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Flames said.

"We heard you but we're not going to let that stop us," Blazer said, "And starting with that prison over there."

"You guy's a crazy if you think you can get anyone out," Flames said, "Even I had difficult getting out of there."

"But if it means freeing your home planet from an evil emperor then it is worth it," Whirlwind said.

Flame Wheel looked at the three heroes as if thinking about what to do.

"Well count me in," Flames finally said after a minute of thinking, "I want my planet to be free from this torture."

"Alright then but first let's find ourselves a place that will be our hideout and base," Blazer said as he led the way.

The others followed him and they traveled for half an hour until they found the building that suits them. It was big and wide, able to hold an army of Transformers in it.

"I say this is a good place to set up base," Blazer said as they entered.

"It must have been an old warehouse of some kind," Flames said.

"Hey look what I found," Wingclip shouted as he open what looked like a hatch.

"It must lead to the basement," Whirlwind said as Wingclip went in followed by Blazer, Whirlwind, and Flame Wheel.

When they entered they realized that the basement was no ordinary basement for it was larger then a basement.

"What is this place?" Blazer asked.

"This must be a secret underground base of some kind," Flames said.

"There are a lot of rooms here," Wingclip said as he opened a couple of rooms.

"And if memory serves me right I saw some energon upstairs," Whirlwind said.

"That's it then," Blazer said, "From here on out this will be our base."

The four friends went about getting to know the base and picking where to sleep for tonight. Wingclip found what looked like the main control room and Blazer chose this spot to be the room for planning. After they got to know the base Whirlwind went above to get some energon to eat for tonight. After they had their fill they went to the main control room to start planning on the jail break. Planning wasn't easy once Flame Wheel told them about the lay out of the prison and how it works. After a half an hour of the planning they decided to go with surveillance for a will to get more information.
