Dragonis walked into the command centre the next morning, and greeted the team.
"Where's Optimus? Is he on patrol?" he asked the Autobots
"No idea. None of us have seen him since last night." said Ratchet
"Scrap. We can't put my idea that I got last night into motion." said the lieutenant
Just then, the comms came online, with Agent Fowler on the other end
"Prime!" he yelled
"Yes?" Said Dragonis and the just arrived Optimus in unison
"Megatron and the Cons just attacked a military base, inflicting many casualties. Megatron said he wanted the two of you to come to him and Ultra Magnus for a fight to decide the war." Responded the human militant.
"Thank you, Agent Fowler, for bringing this to our attention. Primes out." said the second in command
"Dragonis..." Arcee said as she looked at him sadly
"Optimus, don't go!" said Smokescreen
"It has to be a trap!" Bumblebee protested
"Bumblebee, Smokescreen, don't worry. Dragonis and I will both return safely."
The Autobots turned to see Arcee and Dragonis kissing passionately. Optimus cleared his throat to get their attention, and they broke off from surprise.
"Besides," Dragonis said, slightly embarrassed "I have a Cosmic Rust Cannon, as well as tamed Scraplets at my disposal."
"You what!" Yelled Bulkhead, who was deathly afraid of Scraplets.
"Bulkhead," Optimus said sternly "I trust Dragonis' judgement. If he says they are tame, then they are tame."
"Yes, sir!" said Bulkhead, who along with Wheeljack, were planning on joining the leader of the Wreckers, and the Decepticons.
