"Master!" Hooligan said as he tried to get Megatron's attention.
"What is it Scavenger?" Megatron asked wanting to know.
"I have picked up multiple Decepticon sightings!" Hooligan explained.
"One of them is near our coordinates!" Hooligan mentioned.
"Excellent! So the Decepticons really did receive my beacon!" Megatron said in relief as more Decepticons have arrived.
"The signal…..It's getting closer!" Hooligan said as both he and Megatron stared at it. From the bushes they heard a vehicle driving by. The roar of the engine moved closer and closer until a blue and white 2016 Ford Mustang police car drove out of the bushes and transformed.
"Barricade! My most trusted Enforcer!" Megatron said in relief to see Barricade.
"Lord Megatron! It is an honor to fight by your side once again!" Barricade said in utter joy that he had found his beloved leader.
"Where are the others?" Megatron asked.
"Scattered across the globe my lord! I've heard from Starscream he said that he has to take cover for a while then he'll reunite with us!" Barricade explained.
"I see!" Megatron said in a slightly quiet tone in his voice.
"As for the others. I don't know where Blackout, Brawl, Bonecrusher and Mindwipe are at but what I can tell you is that Onslaught and Nitro are in an area known as Michigan and Mohawk is in Arizona!" Barricade mentioned the whereabouts of Onslaught, Mohawk and Nitro.
"I have already found the others!" Hooligan said.
"Blackout is currently in the Middle East far from our location, Starscream and Brawl are in Washington D.C., Bonecrusher is in Illinois and Mindwipe's life signal is in Russia!" Hooligan explained the location of the other Decepticons.
"Hmmmm…Very well we'll start searching for the Decepticons in the US while the others will have to come to us and I hope they arrive here soon!" Megatron said.
"Yes my lord!" Barricade replied back to Megatron.
"By the way, has Soundwave accompanied you?" Megatron asked.
"Oh….uh Yes! I….forgot about him for a second! He accompanied me and should arrive here shortly!" Barricade said to Megatron as Soundwave drove behind him and transformed out of his Mercedes Benz SLS AMG form and into robot mode and walking closer to them in order to greet his master.
"Soundwave!" Megatron said in happiness.
"Lord Megatron! It's great to see you again and in one piece!" Soundwave said.
"Well now that we have some of the strongest Decepticons by our side! We can begin searching for the others!" Megatron said.
"Well then. Let's Roll!" Barricade said as they all transformed into their vehicle modes and drove off searching for the Decepticons hiding in the US near their location.
Back on Cybertron, the Autobot base in Kaon has been completely destroyed, the building is nothing but debris laying on the ground and covering the Autobots. Optimus and his warriors are seemingly killed as Shockwave sent the remaining Decepticon forces to dig through the rubble, taking back any useful machinery that survived the destruction and to take the back the space bridge, but most importantly, they needed to search for the Autobots in the wreckage to make sure they all perished and those who survived will be chosen by Shockwave to be either executed or forced into slavery. While searching through the rubble, two Decepticon scouts manage to find a Cybertronian optic under the rubble, it wasn't active and it wasn't separated from the head but it kept staring at the scouts. After regaining their sense, the scouts begin to digging up the optic until one of them manages to pull out a Cybertronian hand. The Autobot's optic quickly re-activates and its hand in the form of a fist uppercuts one of the scouts, knocking his head off and killing him. The Autobot revealed to be Optimus Prime jumps out of the rubble and punches the other scout knocking him out and proceeds to step on his head crushing it and killing him.
"Get Out!" Optimus said with a threatening tone in his voice as he aimed his barrage cannon on the Decepticon soldiers and scouts. They took his threat as a bluff and took out their guns and proceed to aim back at him. Right next to Optimus, Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Dino get up and out of the rubble and aim their weapons at the Decepticons and standing in front of Optimus.
"You heard the Prime. (Sideswipe finishes cocking his sub-machine pistol and aims back at them) Get…..Out Now!" Sideswipe said in a much more threatening tone. The Decepticons still weren't intimidated.
"Alright I see how this going. BUMBLEBEE! (Dino yells at Bumblebee to get his attention, Bumblebee proceeds to quickly look at Dino) DO YOUR THING!" Dino tells Bumblebee to do what he does best in order to scare off the cons. Bumblebee activates his plasma cannons and shoulder rockets and fires at the cons. Unable to see through the smoke and fire, Bumblebee quickly jumps through the fire and pounces on one of the Decepticons. Like a wild, rabid Earth animal. Bumblebee begins dismembering the soldiers, tearing out each of his limbs and throwing them across from the other soldiers. They were slightly scared and didn't retreat just yet.
"I'd run of I were you! I think I hear Hound digging out of the debris and trust me (The soldiers look near the space bridge and in fear look back at Dino) and if I remember correctly…He's much more vicious then Bumblebee over here!" Dino said as he successfully managed to scare off the Decepticons.
"I should probably go help Hound out? (Dino said pointing to the location of the Space Bridge and staring at Optimus, Sideswipe and Bumblebee who was holding the dead Decepticon's arms.) I'll go help him!" Dino said as he ran to Space Bridge were Hound, Drift and Crosshairs were buried next to. As Optimus looked away from Dino and back at Sideswipe and Bumblebee. Ratchet and Wheeljack emerge from the rubble.
"Oh What in the name of….No!" Ratchet said as he emerges with his hand on his head and slightly dizzy, as he regains his sight he notices the destruction of Kaon.
"By the Primes (Wheeljack walks towards Ratchet and stares at the destruction alongside his brothers) This…..This is too much….I….I…I don't know how much more damage Cybertron could sustain!" Wheeljack said.
"Oh…..IF ONLY THE DECEPTICONS WOULD'VE LEFT US ALONE! THANKS TO THEM….CYBERTRON IS ON THE BRINK OF DEATH AND THEY BLAME IT ON US!" Wheeljack yells in complete anger.
"Wheeljack (Jolt emerges from the rubble and tries to comfort his partner and mentor) please calm down…..We'll find a way!"
"FIND A WAY! FIND A WAY! STOP ACTING LIKE A PROTOFORM JOLT, THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING WE CAN DO TO SAVE CYBERTRON NOW!" Wheeljack turned around and in anger yelled Jolt not even bothering to remember how sensitive Jolt is at times.
"UH…..OH NO (Wheeljack regains his sanity and realizes what he has done)…..Jolt, I'm sorry….I didn't mean to (Wheeljack apologizes to Jolt but is interrupted).
"It's okay Wheeljack, I understand how much you care about Cybertron…..We all do!" Jolt said to Wheeljack comforting both his friend and himself.
"That is why we must work together to save this planet and not turn against each other!" Optimus said getting involved in the conversation.
"BOSS!" Optimus turns around to hear Crosshairs screaming from the distance.
"REPORT CROSSHAIRS!" Optimus yells back to the Autobot paratrooper as he is being carried by Dino.
"THE SPACE BRIDGE IS STILL FUNCTIONAL! I SUGGEST WE GO TO EARTH AND TEACH THOSE DECEPTICONS SOME MANNERS!" Crosshairs yelled back suggesting to enter the Space Bridge.
"VERY WELL! (Optimus looks back at Wheeljack and Jolt) Wheeljack! Jolt! We need to make sure that Space Bridge is perfectly operational!" Optimus said to Wheeljack and Jolt.
"The Space Bridge is indestructible Prime! It might sustain small damage but it can completely be destroyed!" Wheeljack explained to Optimus.
"Very Well then! (Optimus said as he looked at the Autobot next to him and those who were coming out of the debris.) AUTOBOTS! I MUST INFORM YOU THAT WE HAVE A NEW MISSION! I AND A COUPLE OF OTHER AUTOBOTS WILL TRAVEL TO EARTH WHILE THE REST OF YOU WE STAY HERE AND PREVENT CYBERTRON FROM FURTHER BEING HURT BY SHOCKWAVE AND THE DECEPTICONS STATIONED HERE!" Optimus said to his Autobots.
"THE CHOSEN FEW THAT WILL ACCOMPANY ME ARE…BUMBLEBEE, RATCHET, LEADFOOT, WHEELJACK, JOLT, DINO, SIDESWIPE, HOUND, CROSSHAIRS AND DRIFT!" Optimus named all the Autobots that will accompany him.
"THE REST OF YOU WILL STAY HERE! UNDERSTAND?" Optimus informed the remaining Autobots of where they are stationed.
"YES SIR!" The Autobot soldiers said to Optimus.
"GOOD! AUTOBOTS ROLL OUT!" Optimus screamed his battle cry as he and his Autobot comrades entered the space bridge and headed to Earth.
