Author's note: Hey everyone! Here is the second chapter, enjoy! =D

At the Autobot base Red Alert picked up on the beacon, he quickly called Optimus Prime.

"What is it my friend?" he asked walking in.

"Sir we have picked up an emergency beacon from Ironhide" Red Alert said.

Sadness clouded the Prime' optics, he was dreading telling Ratchet. But he had no choice "Send out Hound, Mirage and Jazz" he said "I will go tell Ratchet about this" he turned and left the command centre.

He entered the Medbay a few minutes later "Ratchet are you awake?" he asked.

Ratchet was sitting by the window when he heard his leader's voice "Yes I'm awake" he replied turning to face him.

Optimus could see the worried look on the Medic's face and sighed "Ratchet" he said "we...picked up an emergency beacon"

"From who?" Ratchet asked.

The Prime sighed again "From...Ironhide" he replied.

The Medic was now really worried "But 'Hide never sends an emergency beacon" he said then looked out the window "something must be terribly wrong for him to send one"

"I sent Jazz Hound and Mirage to go see what was wrong" Optimus replied quietly.

Ratchet nodded a little, but he was still worried about his Bondmate.

Ironhide's optics on lined, he found himself in a holding cell and knew he was at the Decepticon base. He growled and yanked on the chains that were holding him to the wall.

"Stop struggling Autobot" a voice said "you can't break them, they've been reinforced with energon"

'Hide looked up and growled when he saw Barricade "Let me out you fragger!" he snarled.

The cop car shook his helm "No can do Ironhide" he replied "I have strict orders from Lord Megatron to keep you here, and I won't disobey orders"

"'Cause you're scared that he's gonna spank ya?" Ironhide taunted.

Barricade growled "It has nothing to do with that Autobot!" he snarled.

"Couldn't have fooled me" the black mech muttered then said a little louder "tell me Barricade, why'd ya capture me?"

"Megatron's orders" 'Cade replied.

'Hide frowned "Megatron's up to somethin'" he thought "but what?"

Jazz, Hound and Mirage arrived at the location where Ironhide's emergency beacon had come from. They transformed into their bipedal modes and looked around "Ironhide?" Hound called out.

There was no reply.

"Do ya think he got captured?" Jazz asked.

"It's possible" Mirage replied "let's look for clues"

So the three mechs started to looked around.

"Hey guys!" Hound called "over here!"

Jazz and Mirage ran over and saw one of Ironhide's cannons, it looked like it had been ripped off.

"Who could've done this?" the silver mech asked.

"It looks like Barricade's work" Hound replied.

At the Decepticon base Megatron walked into the cell and chuckled when he saw Ironhide chained to the wall "Why hello Ironhide" he sneered "it's so nice to see you again"

'Hide growled "Piss off" he snarled "and let me go!"

"I'm afraid not Ironhide" the warlord replied smugly "this time you won't be leaving" he turned to Soundwave "you may enter Soundwave and get to work" he smirked "and make sure his precious Bondmate thinks that he's dead"
