By Tsumi

Soundwave was not happy he had not been happy since first landing on this pitiful ball of dirt, in search of his leader and the AllSpark. Starscream was a fool and the others were almost as primitive as the organic things that inhabited this world. Barricade seemed set on hunting down the yellow brat who had gotten in his way twice now to protect the human who had had the coordinates to the AllSpark and had somehow had something to do with frenzy's and Megatron's deaths. He was now wondering if he should have sent rumble instead, he was not as crazy as his brother was. There was a noise and he looked up to see Rumble frenzy's brother still trying to repair the leg of Ravage who had gotten himself trashed by the yellow autobot while trying to kill one of the fleshy little creatures. Ratbat still had not reported back and Lazerbeak was supposed to be watching Shockwave but he had not gotten any word from him in weeks. More of those stupid Autobots had arrived since this had began and now he had to contend with that fool Blaster who annoyed him further by simply existing. Only five of their kind were on this pitiful excuse for a planet there had been seven but two were now slag thanks to those insufferable Autobots.

If he'd had teeth he'd be gritting them now, as he had to send out another transmission for all Decepticon ships to head their way and take care of any Autobots they came across. There were far too few answers to it for him to not want to shoot something. He showed nothing outwardly of course of his desire to kill, but as soon as the door to his lab opened he fired before even knowing who was there. Nearly slagging the black and purple bot who stood there he did knock it down though it was ignored by it's companion a pure silver bot who made Soundwave want to kill him just standing there but he was at the moment in charge.

"Soundwave."

"Starscream what brings you down here?"

"Have you found where they went to ground?"

"Not yet Ratbat has yet to report and they are not broadcasting on their normal channels."

"So you failed?"

"Not as bad as you have, losing our leader and most of your forces is not a success."

"Neither is sending back a prisoner who could give us access to them."

"Barricade lost him punish the fool."

"I already have. Find me the Autobots Soundwave, they must pay for the death of our leader."

"I have a plan to locate them or bring them out of hiding I need Barricade for it."

"Use him, all that fool has done recently is try to break that miserable excuse for a guardian."

"Then we give him the chance." Was all Soundwave said and returned his attention to the worktable and ravage's repairs.

Starscream was not going to give him the advantage here even if it was such a blatant dismissal, he was commander of the Decepticons now with the death of their leader. Though Soundwave was his only real rival for the position. He would not react to the other's obvious dislike of him. He found barricade in the shooting range and growled at him.

"Soundwave wants you." Was all he said.

"Yes commander." He growled back and headed for the lab.

It had been nearly a week since the small group had gone to get the two pods, which had made landfall. They were finally returning home and everyone had come out to see the new arrivals and to make sure everyone was okay. As soon as he saw Hound Cliffjumper practically knocked down his friend in his happiness to see him. Miles jumped out of sideswipe and ran to greet Sam and Mikaela.

"Hey guys it was awesome and this one's Ironhide's' kid or something."

"Great glad to see you are okay man." Sam said grabbing his hand.

"Yeah we missed you." Mikaela told him smiling.

"Yeah WE missed you." Sam said with a grin and got swatted.

"Cool oh dude apparently the twins want me to be their human."

"Good luck and don't check under their hoods unless Ratchet tells you to. If they ask they are being perverted."

"Got it."

"Aw Bee your human wants to ruin all our fun."

"Not all of it, just the parts that result on messing with Miles." Sam told the two.

As they chatted Mirage was dragged into the med-bay through the large doors in the back and Hound was forcefully dragged along to have his navigation system fixed.

"So who are they?"

"Hound who is Ironhide's progeny and Mirage his best friend and partner in crime. They are both scouts and good at it their holo-imagers are even more advanced then mine they can go invisible and make people think they see things that aren't there"

"Wow." Sam stared at Bumblebee. "Did you just say that Hound guy is Ironhide's progeny?"

"Yes from before the war began. That's all us younger bots know about it he's very respectful of Optimus and Ironhide I believe he is as respectful of Ratchet as the twins and is just like the rest of us younger generation."

"We respect ratchet." Sunstreaker insisted.

"Yeah we just like him a lot and don't want him to forget us." Sideswipe agreed.

"I'd hate to see what you two would do if you didn't like him." Cliffjumper said joining their group.

"Yeah you would." Sunstreaker agreed mischievously.

"Mikaela I hate to pull you away but Ratchet need s your help." Cliffjumper told her.

"Okay take care guys." She gave Sam and Miles both a peck on the cheek and each of the robots an affectionate touch before heading into the infirmary.

"Well we should report to Prowl." Sideswipe said simply.

"Yeah." Sunstreaker agreed taking car mode and swining his door open for Miles to climb in.

"Later man." Miles said as the three left.

"You know Bee it's been awhile since you and I had a drive by ourselves." Sam said suggestively.

"Yes it has." His guardian agreed.

"Just don't get to far out of the perimeter." Was all Cliffjumper said before going off on his own.

The two of them did not need to be told twice, Bumblebee took his alt mode and Sam climbed in to drive his car. They took off through the gates ready to have some fun.

It had been to long since it was just them and the open sky. They kept the base in view but stayed where they were more private. Finally they came to the look out knowing it was away from the base but they wanted some time to themselves.

"You now Bee this is the life." Sam said laying on Bumblebee's chest plate staring up at the darkening sky.

"How do you mean Sam?"

"The people I care about where I know they are, your people coming here hopefully to stay now that there is more peace. Just you and me alone out here it's great."

"it is." The yellow mech agreed with a sigh. If only this could last forever.

Ironhide watched Ratchet as he put away the tools he had used to fix Hound's navigation system. Mirage was still off-line but was repaired and charging on a recovery table. Hound had already been taken to where he could rest by Arcee and most of the others had left the infirmary for the night. Mikaela had told Ironhide Ratchet had sent everyone else away before going to rescue Miles from the twins. He shook his head slightly and approached his old friend.

"Ratchet you should be in recharge yourself." He growled.

The medic turned to him. "I have to clean this up first."

"It can wait. You took almost all day to help Mirage and fixed Hound you should rest, stupid mech taking care of the rest of us and not yourself."

"I have you for that." He said letting the older mech drag him to his own berth and push him into it.

"I suppose I should spend the night here to make sure you rest," he said with mock gruffness joining him.

"if you think it's nessicary." Ratchet answered simply.

"Why are you here again" Prowl asked his mate as the silver mech lounged on his berth.

"Ratchet said if I wanted to spend time around you. You had to take a turn making sure I don't do anything but light duty." Jazz said simply looking over the report in his hands. He was doing light duty only reading reports and such and sending important ones to Optimus while keeping the unimportant details to himself. So here he was in Prowl's quarters so his latest baby-sitter could keep an eye on him.

Prowl didn't mind as much as he acted other wise, he and the second in command had been as the humans said an item for along time since long before the war began. He was slightly annoyed that Bumblebee had gotten so hurt under Jazz's watchful eyes but he was a soldier in his own right and no matter how much they wanted to think of him as a sparkling though he was old enough to fight on his own. He sighed and put his own work down to join Jazz on the berth.

"What's got you down today?"

"Thinking of Bee he's not a little sparkling anymore."

"No the little thing is a soldier like the rest of us."

"Yes he is." He smuggled against the smaller mech pulling him close.

The base was quiet as everyone went off to their bunks and rooms to sleep. Those who were paired off slept comfortably together. Judy Witwicky slept fitfully having not seen her son most of the day he had made a point of eating dinner with his parents, Bumblebee on occasion joining them. Neither had been at dinner that night. She felt she should be upset her son was in love with one of these odd aliens but at least he was happy, she was also glad her husband had not noticed because he would be livid. She was sure something was wrong.

Sirens went odd loudly waking everyone on the base and everyone ran for the brig where a hole in the wall of the cells showed that their prisoner had escaped. Prowl was standing there with Sideswipe at his side. Sunstreaker was on the inside of the cell looking at the damage.

"What happened here?" Optimus prime demanded approaching his third in command.

"I am unsure sir, I was in my recharge cycle when the explosion happened there should have been no way for the prisoner to blow up the wall.

"We removed every weapon he had big-bot." Sunstreaker said simply.

"He should have not been able to do anything after the last time Streaker talked to him." Sideswipe said shaking his head.

"It is true that Sunstreaker is the best interrogator we have Prime." Jazz spoke up having been roused by Prowl's departure from his quarters.

"I know that Jazz." He said simply and looked at the yellow twin as he climbed out of the hole.

"I cant find anything he could have used to get free, that slagging bat must've damaged his own systems to do it."

"Language Sunstreaker."

"Yes sir." He said sullenly.

"Is everyone on base?"

"Bee and Sam took a drive a few hours ago they are still not back."

"Have them come back here put all unnecessary personnel somewhere safe there might be an attack any moment and we must be ready to defend ourselves."

"Yes sir, Sunstreaker go get Bumblebee and Sam." Prowl ordered.

"Yes Prowl." The yellow bot changed into his alt mode and tore out to find his friend.

Sunstreaker tore across the dessert letting out a signal he knew only Bumblebee or Sideswipe could hear. They had developed it long ago, the twins had always had a strong bond but the younger mech had wormed his way into their sparks long ago and they had let him in on the secret. The two had once been more anti social feeling that only the other twin was really important. They served Optimus prime to the best of their skills and were loyal troops but they had no wish to spend any time with their comrades unless it was necessary. Until they had found a small youngling where there had once been a place for hundreds of them. Megatron's men had destroyed the whole place. The sparklings and their caretakers were dead. All but one tiny youngling who could not have been very old and had hidden himself away. they had found him scared and hungry and had decided to take him back to Optimus running into Cliffjumper on their return trip who told them his younger sibling had been lost in the area. They of course showed him the little one who was the one he was seeking and they rushed to take him to Prowl. They had a run in with the Decepticons who learned that hurting Sideswipe was a bad idea. Sunstreaker had massacred the remaining Decepticons while Bumblebee hid under the injured twin. Oddly the youngling was not scared of him when Sunstreaker rejoined them to look at his brother in fact little bee had grabbed onto him crying out that he was hungry and scared. They had carefully taken both of them to the others Bumblebee had been taken to the medic bay along with Sideswipe who was not that badly hurt but Bumblebee was suffering from exposure to his delicate systems as he was still far to young to have any armor or weapons. He was also starving, as he had not eaten in many Vorns. The entire group of Autobots had been there to raise the little bright light of hope they had found. Once he was well Bumblebee had become the pet of the group and everyone wanted to do anything to keep him happy. He followed Optimus like a puppy. He also decided that the twins were the best people ever having brought him to this warm place where his brothers were. He sighed to himself he was getting old if he kept falling into these memories, he cared a great deal for the little glitch not that he'd admit it.

Sunstreaker found the two asleep at the lookout. He hated to wake them up but they had to get back to base. As often as he broke the rules he knew there was a problem with all of this.

"Bumblebee get up we need to get your human back to the base."

"Streaker?" the younger yellow mech asked.

"Yeah little brother time to get home." He said gently nudging the younger to move.

They moved slowly so as not to wake the human. Two sleek yellow and black cars cruising the desert road under the moonlight. Far above them the sky glittered with stars and clouds began to move along the sky. Unseen and heard two jets also streaked across the sky watching the cars as they moved.

Without warming they dropped from the sky strafing the two Autobots. They swerved and Sam woke startled as they came at them again.

"Bee?"

"We are under attack Sam I will let you out and you must run along the road towards the base. Please Sam you have to get to the others."

"I'll try Bee." He said not liking the sound of fear in his guardian's voice.

Sunstreaker stopped and transformed as the two jets landed and did the same, once Sam was out Bumblebee did the same and was oddly reminded of a time when he had been a sparkling and had seen Sunstreaker standing there ready to fight like he was now. This time Bumblebee could fight with him not huddle in fear for him he pulled out his arm cannon and fired.

Sam ran as fast as he could down the road, he knew he could reach the base if they had not seen him running he could bring help. He hated running from the fights all the time he wanted to help his friends but Bumblebee had told him to run and he had to do it for him. He did not see the sand to the left of the road bubble up in the darkness. Red eyes glowed in the night and his foot was grabbed by a large claw soon he was dangling from the claw of a creature he had been told about once by will and bobby, Scorpinoc.

"Hey let me go you monster." He struggled and the claws tighten uncomfortably. He stopped moving instantly.

As the battle raged in the desert, Sideswipe stopped in the middle of helping to patch the wall and stared out in the direction of the gate he was moving before anyone else even noticed he had done so.

"Sideswipe!" Prowl called after his junior officer getting no reply he used the com.

"Optimus I believe we have a problem something must have happened with Sunstreaker and Bumblebee Sideswipe just rushed off."

"I see follow him if you can others will join you."

"Yes sir." He took his alt mode and followed the red twin.

Ironhide had known he would not be seeing his berth anytime soon after the earlier explosion and was quick to join the group heading out to fight. A newly fixed hound, Arcee, and Cliffjumper joined him. They rushed after their comrades to find an area of scorched and torn up earth, and sideswipe standing alone in the middle of what had obviously been the battlefield looking dejected and ready to kill something. Of the other two and the human there was no sign, this was not going to end well.

"Sideswipe." Cliffjumper said approaching his old friend. "What happened?"

"I dint know I know there was a fight as soon as I got here I found this smoking hole and nothing else. " He looked around. "I know Sunny's still on-line but not where he or they are."

"We have to report back to Optimus Prime on this and regroup." Prowl said.

"They have my brother Prowl and Bumblebee, I promised I would not let that happen again and it has happened twice since I got here."

"We'll get him back."

"Yes we will." He growled.

The group gathered in the briefing room back at base. Optimus looked over his men, they sat in a quiet group at the table each looking dejected. They had failed to protect their youngest member and the human who had sacrificed everything for them. Sideswipe looked the worse as he and his brother who was also missing had been the youngest mech's protectors more than anyone else.

"As all of you know tonight we not only lost our prisoner but three of our men are now missing Bumblebee, Sunstreaker and Sam. We do not know the location of the Decepticon's base but we must locate out friends they can not remain there we do not know what Starscream might have planed for them."

Everyone looked at one another, he meant Sam of course, though both Bumblebee and Sunstreaker had caused plenty of trouble for the Decepticons over time Sam was a human and had killed Megatron with the AllSpark.

"How are we going to do this Prime?" Mirage asked looking at their leader.

"Sam and Bee had located a signal that could be Decepticon, it is miles from here in the Rocky Mountains." Blaster told them.

"But who goes? We can't take to many people and we have no idea how many Decepticons they have there."

"I'm going." Ironhide growled

"Me too." Sideswipe said.

"Mirage and Hound should go along with Cliffjumper and Wheeljack, Arcee should go as well."

"Yes sir."

"Sir I would like to go as well." Prowl volunteered.

"As you wish Prowl I would suggest you all make sure you are ready before you go and tell no one of this incident until we know more."

"Of course Optimus." They filed out slowly, the ones going out leaving before the gray dawn was even visible over the mountains.
