"Barricade is coming your way Ratchet," Ironhide said, through his Comm. Link; driving zig-zag; his tires squealed as he avoided plasma shots that were coming his way.

"I see him," Ratchet replied, as he accelerated; he drove up the ramp catapulting himself into the air. Once in the air Ratchet transformed and transformed one of his servos into a machine gun ready to shoot, but before he could do that Barricade transformed and shot at Ratchet wounding him in the shoulder before transforming into his vehicle mode and running away.

"ARGH!" Ratchet yelled in pain as he hit the ground.

Seeing that his friend was wounded Ironhide transformed and ran up to him; he kneeled next to Ratchet.

"Are you alright doc?" Ironhide asked with concern in his optics.

"Yeah, I'm alright" he replied, clutching his shoulder where the wound was. "The wound is superficial. Go and get that son of a glitch , don't let him get away" he said.

Ironhide nodded and transformed into his vehicle mode and continue to chase after Barricade.

In the meantime, at the home of Sandra's parents

I walked over to the phone and picked it up.

"Hello," I said.

"Hey Sandra, it's me Monica."

"I know, mom told me."

"Are you watching the news?" She asked.

"No, why?"

"Turn the TV on," she said.

I took the remote from the coffee table and turned on the TV.

"Which channel" I asked

"Switch to channel 2 and call me later," Monica said.

"Ok, I will" I said, hanging up.

I switched to channel 2 and the news comes up; I sat on the couch and watched a car chase going down the highway; I recognized the vehicles immediately.

"Welcome back, if you're just joining us a group of five Autobots are pursuing a Decepticon down the highway for five hours now," a female reporter said. "One of the Autobots was wounded in the shoulder when he tried to capture the Decepticon. People are fleeing the streets in fear that the highway pursuit don't shift on the main streets. For more information watch the news at 5 o'clock."

I tuned the TV off; hoping that everything will turn out right.

"So, what are we going to do?" Spectra's husband asked her.

"I don't know," she replied as she sat down. "I can tell Sandra to break up with him," she said.

"Are you crazy? You can't tell her that!"

"Why not? I'm her mother!"

"Because A: she will not listen to you and B: it's not fair to ask her that. Plus, what will you tell her? Hm?"

"The truth."

"The truth? Do not you think it's a little late to tell her the truth?" he asked. "When I was begging you to tell her the truth fifteen years ago, you specifically told me that you will never allow your daughter to know the truth."

"Then what shall we do?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?!"

"Nothing. We will let things as they are, but we will not allow Sandra to bring Ironhide here."

"And how will that help?"

"If he does not step into the house, he will not sense you, thus he will not know the truth."

"I don't like it."

"Well, it's the only way" her husband said.

Spectra looked at him.

"Not necessarily," she said.

"And no you can not offline him," he said in a serious tone.

"It would be quick; I promise."

"No."

"Fine have it your way."

"Prime, he is going to the bridge; we have to stop him immediately," Jazz said to Optimus trough his Comm. Link.

"I'm on it," Optimus replied, as he accelerated.

Barricade was driving to the bridge when all of a sudden a blue and red Peterbilt truck appeared out of nowhere; hitting him with such a force that he rolled over a couple of times before stopping few meters away.

Optimus and Ironhide approached him.

"Decepticon punk," Ironhide said, spitting aside.

"Who sent you, and what do you want from Miss. Jones carrier?" Optimus calmly asked him.

"I can't tell you he will offline me, and I don't want her carrier." Barricade replied.

"Who will offline you?" Ironhide asked.

"Lockdown."

"If you don't want Miss. Jones carrier, then why did you go to her house?"

Barricade was silent.

"Because he wants Sandra" Ironhide said, looking at him with hatred in his optics.

"Is that true?" Optimus asked.

"Yes."

"Why do you want Miss. Jones?"

"I don't want her. They do."

"They…? Who's they?" Ironhide asked.

"Creators. They want her and Optimus."

"Why?"

But before Barricade could answer a strange beeping was heard, which grew stronger every second; Optimus and Ironhide were turning around trying to locate from where the beeping was coming, but they couldn't find it. And then Ironhide turned and looked at Barricade's armor, his optics wide in horror as he saw a small red flashing light under the armor.

"Grenade!" he yelled, grabbing Optimus by the shoulder. "Pull back!"

The two Autobots transformed and started to drive as fast as they could, trying to put as much distance between Barricade and them as possible.

A few seconds later a grenade went off blowing Barricade and destroying everything in a radius of two kilometers.

Once they were on the safe spot, they transformed.

As they watched black smoke rising into the sky Optimus saw a person standing in the distance.

"Lockdown!" was all that he said.
