Chapter 25
Back to Me
Darkness spilled over Hoover Dam. Red Alert stood at the door as Prowl walked out into the snow.
"Anything?" He asked. Red Alert sighed.
"If I saw anything wouldn't I have pressed that little button to your left? I'm crazy Prowl...not stupid." He said and turned back to his watch. Prowl sighed and turned back around and walked back into the base. Taping his feet on the ground to remove access snow and continued on down the hallway.
"As annoying as ever Optimus, but he hasn't seen anything." He said and sighed.
"Ratchets must be going after Caspian." Optimus said angered that his friend didn't come to him for advice. They had been formulating a plan to get her back. The plan was going far to slow, even for Optimus' liking. He sighed running his hand down his face.
"Alright...Ironhide, Sunstreaker, Prowl, and Hound come on." He said.
"What about me Optimus?" Bumblebee asked from the door. Optimus looked up at him.
"Go back to bed." He said and turned back to his mechs.
"Roll out!" He yelled.

"More!" Megatron yelled holding Caspian up. Caspians eyes kept rolling around. He picked her up.
"I'm going to spill out whatever drop of energy you have in you to put sparks into my machines...even if it costs you your very spark...now do it!" He pointed at the last two machines he could get hold of. Caspian tried to focus on the machines. Her processor felt like it was filled with cotton. She wasn't intaking air to well since her spark was trying to create more sparks instead of concintrating on air. She was overheating, and she couldn't stop it until she stopped making sparks.
"C-Can't. " she whispered. Megatron threw her into the machine.
"Useless...I have no room for useless junk in my base." He looked around at Starscream.
"Kill it." He said and Starscream chuckled aiming for the femme.
"You should have bonded with me...I would have treated you better." He said.
"Bonded...with you." Caspian growled.
"W-Would have...rather bonded...with a human." She laughed and gasped as she was kicked from behind by Thundercracker.
"Enough talk out of you. Your junk...and junk doesn't talk." Thundercracker said kicking her in the jaw. Thundercracker screamed in pain as Caspain thrust a small piece of metal from the machine into Thundercrackers leg.
"Get that thing out of that join soon Thundercracker or you'll bleed out." She laughed trying to get up. She looked up at Starscream who was helping his brother to stand.
"I'll kill you Caspian...if my brother dies so do you."
"Blah blah whatever Starscream go cry to your...well I don't think you have a mother. Your pit spawn." She said and limped toward the hall. Frenzy jumped aside as she walked into there room.
"Your hurt..." He said jumping onto Soundwaves bed.
"Grandfather...?" she said her optics were drooping. Ravage walked over and helped support her tell she got to the bed. She heard a door open, but didn't see who was standing in the doorway. All she knew was it was Soundwaves voice, and yet someone else who sounded familiar. Soundwave lifted Caspian a bit and turned her over so Ratchet could look at the back of her neck. The node Rumble had placed back there was still there. Ratchet pulled it out. Caspian gasped and jerked a bit. Tell she lay still in Soundwaves arms.
"Status: Functional." He said and looked at Ratchet who nodded.
"Ravage stand gaurd."
"Megatron has ordered Cassy dead Soundwave." Rumble said from the door and locked it.
"We need to get her out of here." Frenzy said. Ratchet glared at him.
"What should we do then...dad?" Ratchet asked.
"Thats a stupid question Autobot...why don't you answer." He spat back.
"We can't go back the way you came and this is the first place they'll search." Ratchet said and walked over to the wall and sighed.
"Big windows huh?" He said and blinked as he looked into the bathrooms.
"Soundroom?" He asked.
"Affirmative." Ratchet squeeked when the base shook.
"I'll send out a distress call. I'm sure they're on there way already."
"How do you mean? You didn't come...you came alone didn't you?" Rumble said his eyes rolled and he looked away.
"You know your the dumbest...smart bot I've ever seen." He said and walked into a corner.
"We're doomed."
Suddenly there was a loud bang outside the wall. Ratchet cringed as the loud bang got louder, and louder tell a huge whole was broken into by Ironhide.
"Someone call for help?" He said seeing Ratchet...then he saw Soundwave.
"Does anyone want to tell me whats going on?" He asked his cannons poised on Soundwave. Soundwave stood his ground.
"Doesn't matter...here." He pushed Caspian into Ironhides hands.
"Ratchet she's your daughter why do I have to carry her?" Ironhide complained as he backed up away from Soundwave. He would have blasted him if that longing question wouldn't stop popping into his head. Why was Soundwave standing there like he was a friend.
"Because she's not my daughter...she's Frenzy's" He said and turned into his emergancy vehicle mode and sped on down the road. Ironhide sighed handing Caspian to Optimus who was a bit baffled about this as well.
Ironhide transformed and allowed for Optimus to place Capsian into his cab. He sped on down the road followed closely by Chromia.
"What will happen to the girl now Ironhide." She asked unsure of how things were done on earth.
"I donno." He said confused.
