Smokescreen and his team drove to the abandon town that was once Jasper. With the sun's rays and the smokes from the remaining flames, Jasper looked like a scene from a movie. A post-apocalyptic movie where the hero was too late to save the planet. A town that was once filled with innocent humans and beautiful buildings that always intrigued Smokescreen. He always wanted to know what it looked like on the inside on these buildings.

Well I can see the inside of the buildings, but they're broken pieces. Smokescreen thought to himself.

Cars filled the streets with busy humans talking on a cellular device or to a human in the next seat. Now nothing remains but ruins and burned down buildings. Cars were flipped and were either laying on their sides or burning in flames. Like Cybertron, only much much more smaller. Smokescreen felt terrible that Jasper had to suffer the way his home suffered.

The Decepticons have gone too far, Smokescreen snarled in his thoughts. He transformed and everyone else copied him.

Looking back and forth between the destruction, Smokescreen felt slightly nostalgic. He remembered the drives he took down here with Bumblebee, Jack teaching him the rules of the road. It depressed him to see his new home destroyed by the hands of the enemy. But he felt confident that with enough training and determination, the Autobots will win this war. And Smokescreen will finally have his revenge.

"Alright team."Smokescreen turned to face his team." Let's split up and search for the protoforms. If you see any Con's, contact Parate or me for back up. Attack to defend only, do not attack first. Is that clear?"

"Sir yes sir!"Everyone saluted.

"Good. Now split!"

Smokescreen and Tier searched the center of Jasper, the Twins went down town and Sanna and Parate went up town. Smokescreen hoped that he would find the Cons and not the Twins. They were trained well and good fighters, but they always started the battles with the Decepticons.

Hopefully they'll be smarter this time, Smokescreen hoped in his thoughts.

Smokescreen and Tier dug and removed every piece of debris, disappointed when they found nothing. After about an hour of searching, Smokescreen was feeling irritated. He began to wonder if they would ever find anything or if the scanners were scraped.

"Look at this." Tier stated from across the street. Smokescreen ran over to her. He remembered this place, the burger joint Jack worked at. The same place they pulled a prank on the bully, the same place where they pranked Jack's boss. Nostalgia filled his processor, he wanted so much for Jasper to return to it's former glory. He wanted to pull more pranks, he wanted to drive, he wanted to enjoy his life cycle on Earth without the Deceptions. Without Roads. Smokescreen felt his rage heat up in his gut at the memory of Roads and the things he's done to him. He shook his head and focused on the mission. Tier pointed to the center of debris of the fallen building. Smokescreen smiled with relief.

"There you are."He said, gently picking up the silver object."Looks like this is it."

"Could there be more?"

"There are more. They're behind this one."Tier peered in and found at least twenty or so protoforms laying side by side. She smiled warmly at pointed then went to his audio receptor."Smokescreen reporting, object found. Now we just have to bring this back to base in one piece."

"May day!" Sanna yelled."Heads up y'all! Con's are attackin' like bullies on a playground!"

"I'm coming."Smokescreen said, handing the protoform to Tier."Get this back to base. Tell Optimus about the other protoforms."

"Please be safe." She pleaded as she drove off. Smokescreen transformed and drove to Sanna and Parate's location. Smokescreen drove through the hazardous streets until he heard shooting near by. Making a sharp left turn, he sped up and stopped on the street where a heated battle was ongoing. Parate, unsurprisingly, held his ground. Sanna on the other hand, held up her shield when they weren't firing at her.

"Parate you treacherous slime!"A purple Vehicon yelled. Parate fended off as many as he could with Sanna beside him. He was glad that she had her shield up, more than once it has ricocheted the blast back to the Con's. She did fire a few blasts herself, but Sanna was too afraid of guns to continue. She was shocked on how well they were doing as a team, but they were still outnumbered. At least two to ten, in her spark, Sanna hoped they would win.

"Down in front!"Smokescreen yelled as he transformed and started firing. Sanna and Parate turned just in time to see Smokescreen run past them.

"Wait up!" Parate yelled, following after Smokescreen.

"Y'all slow down!" Sanna shouted, dropping her gun. As the gun hit the ground, a blast took off and an explosion occured where Smokescreen was before. Looking behind him, he gasped and his spark sank. He felt terrible for the poor protoforms. He hoped that Bianna's sparklings didn't have to be the only hope for a new Cybertron.

"Oh man! The protoforms!" One yelled.

"Megatron's gonna be so mad." Another cried.

Well at least we saved one, Smokescreen thought as he continued to run.

Smokescreen and Parate shot at every Vehicon in sight. Many times they flipped over one another to shot at a Con trying to do a sneak attack. Sanna stood by with her shield grinning proudly. Parate and Smokescreen made an excellent team when it came to fighting Con's. Finally, the battle ended and the two bots stood victorious. Sanna was surprised that Smokescreen wasn't promoted to scout or warrior.

"Phew, that was way too close of a call Commando Bot sir." Sanna said cheerfully."If ya didn't show up we would've been layin' on the ground like organic animal manure."

"That's gross! How can you say that? You're way of comparison is not..."Parate shivered at the image. Smokescreen chuckled. Parate might get angry at Sanna, but it doesn't last. He can never stay mad at her.

"Come on, we better head back."Smokescreen, Sanna and Parate transformers and headed back to base.

"It's strange that a protoform would be here on Earth."Ratchet stated, studying the silver object.

"I thought they were only on Cybertron?" Kade asked, watching Ratchet.

"That's what we all thought Kade."

"Then how could they be here?"

"That's what we're trying to figure out."Tailen and Kclayna joined Ratchet as he continued to study.

"Hmmm...I wonder."Parate said, walking over to the medics.

"What is it?" Tailen asked.

"I remember, on the Nemesis, there was a small storage area full of protoforms."

"Ha!"WheelJack laughed."The Con's parenting sparklings? Now that's a laugh."

"No, they wouldn't raise them."Parate stated, keeping his gaze on the protoform." They would program the protoforms, leave them on different planets throughout the galaxy were a femme would find it and raise it."

"Raise it to do what?"Teama asked, walking in.

"The femme would possibly raise it just to be a Cybertronian, not an Autobot or a Decepticon. But thanks to it's programming, the sparking would attack and kill the femme. After awhile, the Nemesis would be informed of the sparklings deed. Megatron would then send a team of Vehicons to take the sparkling. They would teach it to be a Decepticon."

"They must've assumed one of the Autogirls would find the protoforms and raise them."Optimus guessed.

"I can't tell you for sure."Parate chuckled." Unsurprisingly, they would be raised to be Vehicons."

"So that's why the keep coming back."Bulkhead stated.

"Yes, that's how they keep coming back."

"What about this one?"Bianna asked,hoping that this protoform didn't have Decepticon programming.

"It's a protoform, but it doesn't have any programming. That's odd." Ratchet said, putting his audio receptor up to the protoform.

"What is it?" Ultra Magnus asked.

"I can hear a spark."

"Is that possible?"Kclayna asked, confused and excited.

"The Decepticons must've not finished it's programming before Smokescreen's team found it. It has very little programming, just enough to make the spark come online."

"What do we do with it now?"Bianna hoped they wouldn't terminate the protoform.

"Well, it's online so we can't just put it on the shelf. One of the younger bots must finish it's programming and raise it."
