Transformers: Prime rightfully belongs to Hasbro and the Hub.

© Talida and other OCs rightfully belong to me unless I say otherwise.

ENJOY!


The combing of the base wreckage continued for most of the day. With every minute that passed, Megatron grew more impatient. The flames have since extinguished. He wanted to see what the Autobots were hiding in the base. Also, he wanted to see the bodies of the fallen Autobots in the base.

He was about to be disappointed.

But he was also about to be surprised. The foot soldiers brought two objects to Megatron. The first object they brought him was the stasis pod that housed Airachnid, courtesy of Arcee and Talida all those months ago during their encounter in the Insecticon hive.

However, that wasn't what surprised him. What surprised him was the Forge of Solus Prime.

"THE FORGE OF SOLUS PRIME?!" Megatron boomed in disbelief, "How is it that you managed to materialize that?! Yet not the remains of any single Autobot?!"

"Answer your lord and master! WHERE ARE THEIR BODIES?!" Starscream snarled.

If the Decepticons thought about it, they would've looked deep underground.


Using the phase shifter, Smokescreen shoved a hand through the rock wall of a cave. Talida stood on his hand, sword out and ready, as she looked around the cave. After a few minutes, she disappeared as quickly as she appeared.

Not long after, Smokescreen walked fully into the cave dragging someone with him. He tried to be as gentle as possible with the person he rescued. However, the conditions of the cave didn't allow him to do so.

Smokescreen and Talida had returned to the base…

And rescued Optimus Prime from the rubble.

"You're hurt. But you probably look way worse than you feel," Smokescreen tried to make a joke, earning a glare from the teenage Prime.

Optimus made out some unintelligible mumbles and gasps as he went to face his rescuer. However, his teenage daughter, who decided to rest on his chest, stopped him from doing much gently.

"It's best if you don't move or talk, dad. Just power down for a little bit. You need to get your strength back. Don't worry. Smokescreen's got us covered," Talida promised.

The positive front wasn't going to last long. Talida knew this.

But she couldn't bear to tell her critically wounded father just how hopeless the situation was.

Their base was destroyed. The Autobots were divided and on the run. No communications. No first aid for Optimus. No Energon to sustain Optimus and Smokescreen. Not enough food and water to sustain Talida for long periods of time.

What can they do?


After finding everything they'll be able to find from the base, they left to return to Darkmount. Well…the foot soldiers did. Starscream and Megatron slowly walked away from the destroyed base to discuss some important issues concerning the Autobots and how they didn't find their remains in the wreckage.

"The Autobots clearly GroundBridged from their base before it was destroyed. They could be anywhere," Megatron opened the topic.

"We should initiate global surveillance, my lord," Starscream immediately suggested, "Send search and destroy teams to every sector of this planet."

Instead of responding to his second in command, Megatron opened a comm channel between himself and his spy chief, "Soundwave, monitor all Earth-based transmissions for any sign of Autobot communication. With each other or with their human counterparts."

"Master," Starscream began.

Megatron followed Starscream's line of sight towards the desert horizon and saw what he saw.

Fowler's call for backup when the Decepticons were attacking the base came through. Tanks rolled across the desert sand approaching the remains of the base and Darkmount. Fighter jets flew across the horizon following the tanks. For Starscream and Megatron, it didn't take long for them to realize their intentions.

"Foolish humans," Starscream grumbled, "I shall deploy the armada."

"That won't be necessary, Starscream. Not when we can engage our enemy with newfound might," Megatron smirked, gazing up at their new fortress.

The approaching members of the army were about to get the shock of their lives. The fortress they were approaching had four fusion canons; one on each side of the fortress to defend it from attacks from every direction. And they were about to have a massive test.

As the canons fired, no one from the military had time to retreat to safety. Every single jet and tank was drawn into an electric dome. Their machines destroyed. Their pilots killed instantly.

And then…it was expanded in one big bang. The incoming military force wasn't the only thing that the Decepticons destroyed that day.

They destroyed Jasper, Nevada.


Damn, I'm good.

Another short one. I know. But remember. I'm going by when the screen goes black.

You guys should know what to do by now. Review. Fave. Alert. Whatever.

BYE!
