Wheelie sighed in boredom as he sat on the sofa. It has been at least two years when he and his fellow ex-Decepticon, Brains, had moved with Warrior Goddess aka Mikaela Banes and her sissy boyfriend, Sam Witwicky. Despite living with a sissy male and a slobbering mutt, it was better then his old life, when he was still just a Decepticon drone, just another useless pile scrap for them to with as they pleased.

He had to admit his first few weeks with the Autobots weren't a skip across the park, they still had trouble trusting him and the only thing that kept Ironhide from blasting him was Optimus Prime. The Autobot leader seemed more comfortable with Wheelie joining them, even saying he was in the drone's debt for helping Sam find the Matrix of Leadership. Soon after that the other Autobots got less stiff with Wheelie around, especially when he revealed that Soundwave was listening in on military communications up in orbit.

:Autobot Wheelie, this is Prowl, report: A voice in Wheelie's transmitter said quickly. Getting up, the drone responded. :Yo Prowl this is Wheels. Nothing new going here as usual, what about your end? Also why do you keep calling me?:

:Optimus discovered something big and is heading towards the moon. And to answer your second question as Second in Command, it's my job to keep in contact with all Autobots, speaking of which I haven't heard anything from Brains yet, where is he?: The SIC asked.

Wheelie was about to respond when he heard a scream from inside the house followed by a loud bang. :He was peeking on Warrior Goddess while she was taking a show, and now he just got his head clobbered:

He could tell that Prowl was rolling his optics. :Very well, Prowl out:

After that Wheelie decided to check up on Brains who was running down the stairs from an angry Warrior Goddess. To his luck, her hair was still wet a loose blowing in the wind and she had nothing on but a towel. He had to admit, he couldn't blame his fellow drone for taking a peek at her.

"How many times have I told you not to watch me while I'm taking a shower?" She snapped at Brains. Brains acted like he was trying to remember and just giving a shrug, earning an annoyed grunt from the female who stormed off to her room to get change and head off to work. While she was doing that Brains jumped onto the sofa bed beside Wheelie and turned on the T.V "Heh, that female got a pretty good figure huh Wheelie?" The drone asked.

Wheelie rolled his optics. "I already knew that Brains but you should be more careful next time or she'll blowtorch your optic in 10 seconds flat."

Brains waved this off as he flipped through the channels and by then Mikaela had left for her job. From what Wheelie recalled it was for some guy name Dylan Gould who owned big company, and had a collection of exotic cars too. Wheelie first saw the guy when he came over to interview Mikaela when Sam was away, and the drone couldn't help feeling suspicious about the man too.

His thoughts were interrupted when Brains made a groan of annoyance. "What wrong with you Brains?" Wheelie asked his fellow drone. "Nothin good is on and the news is mostly talking about couple of deaths and freak car accidents." Brains complained as he kept flipping through the channels.

If Barricade wasn't in vehicle mode, his grin would've been obvious. Currently he was using his police car form to get close to a car accident on the Highway near D.C. But he knew the truth: the victim was one of Soundwave's human operatives, who had been disposed of by Lazerebeak. The only other police present there were several police officers and their vehicles too.

As if hearing his name, the condor assassin contacted Barricade. :Like my work?:

:You overdid it: Was the Con's reply as he inspected the crashed vehicle. :There are talon marks on the hood:

Lazerbeak screeched through the comms. :He was going to fast, had to get a grip somehow:

Barricade rolled his optics as he backed up and drove away from the scene. As he did he noticed one of the other cop cars blinking at him before he contacted Lazerbeak again. :So, where you heading towards to now?:

:My last target has a job in D.C, so I'll be heading there: The condor replied. :Very well then, I'm still busy with the assignment Megatron gave me and one I'm done then I'll return to the city. Whose your target anyway?: Barricade asked.

:A man named Jerry Wang. I'm actually quite fond of him: Lazerbeak replied with a twisted laugh, :He is very unexpected and I wouldn't be surprise if he pulled out a gun on me when I get there:

Barricade grunted as he made a turn onto a dirt road off the highway. He continued driving, with the trees looking down on him until he stopped near a small field. "This will do." He thought to himself as he transformed into robot mode.

He walked towards the center of the field, where he pulled out an object from his compartment. It was shaped like a grey pole with lights blinking and a sharp tip at the bottom. Barricade twisted it in several directions before slamming it into the ground and when he did, the pole extended upward, revealing a small screen with a keypad. The Decepticon began typing on the pad and after a few seconds the screen lit up and the device dug deeper to the ground until only the top was visible. Barricade transformed and headed out back towards the highway. :Lord Megatron come in:

:Report Barricade: His leader ordered.

:I'm almost halfway done setting up the devices and shall return to the city awaiting further orders: Barricade reported.

:Excellent work soldier, but when you are finish I want you to remain near the edge of the city once the plan starts to report on Autobot activity:

:Understood Lord Megatron, Barricade out:

"I saw him there at the scene." Prowl reported to the other Autobots and NEST members about Barricade. "I had arrived there and detected Barricade's energon signature and had just managed to conceal my presence before he took off."

Cliffjumper, who was standing next to Ironhide, scratched his head, "Why would Barricade be there of all places?"

Prowl shook his head, "No clue but he's the first local Decepticon we've spotted and with Optimus reporting that they've arrived on the moon, I don't want to take any chances."

"I agree" Lennox said, "But I don't want to take any drastic steps in investigating until Optimus returns, so I'll let you take it from here Prowl."

"Thank you Colonel." Prowl said before turning to Hound. "Hound gather a team and patrol the city until Prime returns. Check the areas that don't have Energon detectors, he's probably using those to hide."

"Got it." Replied the field specialist as he took off, followed by the others except for Jazz. Prowl had a good idea what he was thinking of, the two had been partners a long time, even before Jazz joined Optimus's team and came to Earth. "You're thinking there's a connection too?" Prowl asked.

Jazz nodded, "Barricade checking out a car accident? Something doesn't feel right and I'm gonna find out what it is." The special ops said as he went off somewhere to do some research.

While those two were doing something Warpath was walking alongside Ironhide and Chromia, "Think we're going to see some action Hide?" Warpath asked the weapon specialist.

Ironhide grunted, "I hope so War, I'm just itching for some action and if I have to stay here any longer I'm likely to blow something up."

Chromia giggled at her mate's response. "You would probably blow something up just for the fun of it Ironhide."

Ironhide rolled his optics as Warpath laughed at the joke too. To the side, Beachcomber watched the three with annoyance before letting out a sigh. This did not escape the notice of Trailbreaker, who was researching Earth jokes on the web. "Something wrong Beach?"

Beachcomber just looked at his fellow Autobot. "No it's just…" He said before turning to look at the three bots again, "How can they feel so much enjoyment from destroying things. Haven't we lost enough already?"

Trailbreaker looked at the small blue bot with sympathy. "Hey we all just want to put an end to the fighting as much as you do. And its not like the Cons would've stay hidden forever." He said as he put a hand on Beachcomber's shoulder. "Relax, once Sentinel Prime is back with us I'm sure we'll be able to stop the Decepticons once and for all. Then maybe the war will finally be over."

"His vitals are low." Ratchet reported as he stared at the motionless form of Sentinel Prime. They, as in Optimus Prime, Ratchet and the Aerialbots had entered the Ark. It was hard for them to walk through the vessel without seeing the destroyed body of a fellow Autobot. But the managed to reach the bridge where they discovered Sentinel inside a hidden chamber, stasis lock and holding what Ratchet identified as the control Pillar, the technology that Sentinel himself had designed.

Optimus Prime bent down to pick up his mentor's body, "Let's get you home Sentinel." Optimus said. "Ratchet, head back to the Xantium and prep the med bay just in case. Silverbolt, I want you and Firestorm to carry the Pillars back to the ship and Air Raid, go scope ahead to make sure we are clear to return to Earth."

"Roger that Prime" Air Raid said before the green and white bot took off while the silver and red Silverbolt, and the brown and tan Firestorm, followed Ratchet with the pillars in their hands.

As Optimus prepared to leave he paused and turned around, as if expecting someone to be right behind him. But there wasn't, just the destroyed screen of the Ark and the stars outside in space.

"Perhaps I was just imagining it." Optimus thought to himself as he continued walking out of the ship.

But as he left the Ark he did not notice one of the ship's cameras watching him go, nor did he hear the computer like voice.

"Sensors: Online. Scanning for internal damages." The voice said as a small light came on for a few minutes before speaking again, "Warning: Damage critical, initiating emergency stasis lock. Preparing Energon reserves and self-repairs immediately."

Hope you like it. Just to let you all know, I'm not adding in any new Decepticons since they had like 200 in the movie so there's no point. Also I won't be showing detailed scenes of Sam as he investigates the whole thing because I want to give the Autobots the spotlight since they didn't get as much in the movie.
