Barricade sped down the street trying to ram into Bumblebee, her sirens blaring, Bumblebee quickly avoids the hit doing a complete U-turn, Arcee and Stinger did the same and follow Bumblebee as a red and blue custom muscle car follow them.
"Well, the Decepticons are here." Arcee said sarcastically. "Let's lure them away from the city, keep damage to a minimum while we avoid them."
"Got it" Bumblebee said, Stinger however said nothing, Shatter and Dropkick gets beside Arcee, they then went to slam into her, but she suddenly stops, resulting in the two hitting one another instead. She quickly speeds up after they were hit to catch up with Bumblebee and Stinger. While Shatter and Dropkick regain control Barricade quickly speeds by them.
Two sections on the hood of her car opens, she fires four missiles to the Autobots, forcing them to evade the missiles, one of them hit the back of a car sending it flying, another hit a stop light sending it down to the ground, the last two hit the side of buildings. The Autobots moved out of the way trying there best to avoid causing more damage, say for Stinger.
"Can't we fight back?" Stinger asked.
"No, we have to lead them away from the area." Arcee said.
"Well with them shooting at us, I don't think this place will go unharmed" Stinger said.
Soon enough they found some abandoned place, seemed to be some construction site near a body of water, whatever it was no one was there, and they could fight the decepticons. The trio transforms and stands there waiting. Soon Barricade, Shatter, and Dropkick transformers and looks at the group.
"How nice it is to see you do gooders and the bipolar red bot." Barricade said as she loads her gun. "Now, I'll ask you nicely to hand him over and we can maybe go our separate ways. For now."
"No way am I going with you downgrades." Stinger told Barricade.
"You act as if I really need your compliance, or that your allies are better than us." Barricade said.
"They're not, but I am." Stinger said with a cocky grin, Bumblebee just raise an eyebrow, she shakes her head and get into a fighting stance ignoring what he said, Arcee looks at him and she gets into a fighting stance.
"Shatter take the two-wheeler, Dropkick the want to be bug, and I take the OG bug." Barricade told them, with that Shatter and Dropkick rushed their opponents while Barricade takes a few shots at Bumblebee.
Shatter went for a punch, but Arcee flips out the way activating her blasters, she landed on a dumpster opening fire, Shatter shield her face while she was getting hit, she activates her blaster and shoots at her destroying the dumpster she was standing on, Arcee had leap off the dumpster as the blast hits it.

She shouts as she fell onto her knee, Arcee rolled to her feet and rushed back to Shatter, she hits her across the stomach and went for another strike, but she punched her in the face.
As Arcee hits the ground Shatter quickly walked towards her stomping her head into the ground, she grabs Arcee legs and quickly moved her foot and throws Arcee into the side of a building, she then slowly walks towards her as she takes her gun out aiming at Arcee, she waits for Shatter to raise her gun as she got closer, as she did Arcee grabbed a hand full of broken bricks and throws them to Shatter face, she shield her eyes which gave Arcee time to kick Shatter knee bringing her to the ground, she wraps her legs around her and does a spin as she bringing Shatter to the ground.

Bumblebee groans in pain and she gets up rubbing her head, she was then hit across the face with Barricade spiked flail, Bumblebee stumbled back as she was hit across the face a few more times before she moved her head back and caught the wire while activating her battle mask, she pulled Barricade to her and kicks her in the stomach, she then swings Barricade back towards her hitting her in the face and swinging her ontop of a dumpster.
Barricade tries to get back up, Bumblebee stomped her foot down on her chest to keep her down, Barricade looks around the area for something to use. Beside her was a drum of oil, she quickly grabs it and throws it towards Bumblebee face, Barricade pulled a pistol out of her holster and shoots it causing it to explode and for Bumblebee to stumble back. Bumblebee was kicked in the stomach by Barricade who get's back up and takes out two police batons, Bumblebee looks at her and sighs.
"Really? That's what you're going with?" Bumblebee asked, she then sighs and rushed towards Barricade, she went for a right hook but Barricade ducks under the hit and does a spin hitting Bumblebee in the side with the Baton and then the back of her left leg, she falls onto her knee and turns, Barricade kicks the back of her head and quickly follows it up with a knee to the face.

She quickly rushed her wrapping both her hands around her torso charging her into the crane, she then kicks her across the face quickly following the attack with an uppercut. Barricade hits the ground and groans as she rolled around.
Bumblebee looks for Stinger and Arcee, she saw Arcee fighting against Shatter, she could possibly use some help, but she turns and see Stinger Fighting against Dropkick, she decided to go help Arcee with Shatter.

Ratchet opens the groundbridge as Optimus and the away team comes back, having delivered Fowler, Morshower and the officer to the survivors. Optimus transformed and walked towards Ratchet.
"So, what did you learn?" Ratchet asked.
"Blackout attacked the base and stole files. The files may be leads to where Megatron is." Optimus told her. "She sent Scorponok after the survivors and luckily they managed to escape with their lives."
"Well, what does that means for us?" Ratchet asked.
"Well, with them knowing of our existence, and the chase of many of them seeing Scorponok, I believe our times working in the shadows may soon be up, and more direct responses will be necessary, along with the human military." Optimus explained.
"Great." Ratchet mutters. "I say working with them will be annoying."
"It is not about how they may be if we work together, it is how I do not want any of them to risk their lives." Optimus said.
"It is their planet Optimus, they would want to defend it, there could be a chance that they could be good help." Ironhide told her.
"And even if they do die, you can not achieve victory without losing people, playing it safe like this will result in the war being won here rather early" Prowl told them as she looks around the base. "Where's Bee, Arcee and the outcast?"
"Prowl." Was all Ironhide said.
"Oh, Bumblebee found something, they went out to investigate it." Ratchet said as she locks onto their signals, there was three Decepticons was in the area. "Huh"
"Great. Ratchet open a groundbridge near them, I will bring them back." Prowl said.
"I don't think they are in any trouble." Bulkhead said. "They should be fine."
"But they shouldn't have left and went out there in the first place." Prowl said. "We have better things we should be doing, even if they decide to go for a patrol, they shouldn't have just up and left."
"Ratchet, open a groundbridge. Prowl and Ironhide will go get them, while going on a patrol would help us, right now we should inform them of what had happened and what it may come of it. I would need all other Autobots back to base." Optimus told her, she nods and activates the groundbridge while sending out a signal to the other Autobots.

Shatter was now fighting two Autobots, unlike her partner Dropkick, she doesn't rely on brute strength, she's skilled in close quarter combat, her getting counters on the two Autobots is easy, especially when the two attack her separately. Arcee went for a kick but Shatter counters this with her own kick, locking her legs around Arcee and sending her to the ground, before she could do anything else she was tackled to the ground by Bumblebee, Shatter turns and she grabbed Bumblebee head throwing her off, Arcee delivers a dropkick to Shatter stomach, she shouts in pain and punched Arcee off as she stood back up, Bumblebee rushed her but she was kicked in the face and then across the face by Shatter.

The fight was about to continue, along with Barricade joining, but Starscream comes over their comms.
"Barricade pull back. Soundwave found something interesting within the files, and we have a new plan." Starscream said. "For now, leave the new red one be"
"Yes, lady Starscream." Barricade said, she then connects to Shatter and Dropkick comms.
"Shatter, Dropkick pull back now." Barricade said as she transforms and drives away. "Starscream have a new plan"
Shatter looks at the two Autobots. "Until next time" She transforms and drives away.
The two Autobots simply look at one another and Bumblebee exhaled.
"Okay, that was harder than expected." Bumblebee said and she looks at Arcee. "Hey, where's Stinger."
A groundbridge opens, Prowl and Ironhide walks out, Prowl doesn't look happy.
"You two shouldn't have went out for a random patrol" Prowl told the two sternly. "And where is the other one."
"He's over…" Bumblebee points to where Stinger was, he was however missing, she blinks looking for where he could have gone, they all noticed a giant hole in the building, and the sounds of some explosions. "Oh no"

Stinger punched Dropkick across the face, and he flips over her grabbing a hold of her arm, which in turn caused her to fall as she landed, he kicks her into a near by parking lot taking a few shots at her.

He quickly turns around punching her in the back twice, he grabs her shoulder and delivers a powerful knee.
Stinger circles around her waiting for her to get up, she slowly rose and glared at Stinger who only gives her a shit eating grin, she growls and swung her arm, he moves towards her swiftly moving under her hand, hitting her across the face as he does, he turns and delivers an uppercut, using the same move he did to his world Bumblebee while on Strafe. Stinger simply circles around her as she tried to get up, she tried to grab him, but he kicks her across the face, and he grabbed her arm.
"This is for your comment" Stinger said as he twisted her arm, breaking it in one fluid turn. "And this is for fun!" He stomped down on the joint of her arm, breaking it in two places, she roars in pain as Stinger drops her arm. His head twitched a bit as his eyes color slightly shifts, he shrugs his shoulders while rolling his neck.
Stinger actives his blaster and he shoved it against her neck, like how his world Bumblebee did, he was aiming to blow her head off, he was kicked across the face by Barricade, he stumbled back holding his head.
"Ah! My head!" He growled, the pain was getting worse as he clutched it as hard as he could, Barricade noticed Bumblebee and Arcee heading her way, along with Prowl and Ironhide, she turns to Shatter who helped but Dropkick arm back into place.
"Roll out." Barricade said as she kicks Stinger head while he was down and stomped on him, his battle mask was up and she wanted to ensure that he would stay down, Shatter and Dropkick transforms and drives away while Barricade fires missiles at the Autobots, she quickly transforms and drives off.
The Autobots avoided the missiles and made there way to Stinger who was just lying there.
"He's not dead, just unconscious." Ironhide said as she looks down at him, she then looks around the destroyed area. "He had a pretty destructive fight…..and he attempted to kill Dropkick."
"Yeah, I saw it, however it doesn't matter, if he had killed her then we would have one less con to worry about. Atleast we know he will get the job done." Prowl said.
"Remember what Optimus said." Arcee told Prowl who scoffs.
"This is war, we can kill their vehicon and drones all day, but the moment it comes to the main ones we have to try all other methods and if that fails, then you can kill them." Prowl said. "Now let's pick him up, I got something to tell him when we get back to base."

"What were you thinking?" Prowl asked Bumblebee. "Going out without getting proper clearance, going out the base with this odd Cybertronian."
"Well, we didn't intend for the Decepticons to um…come." Bumblebee said.
"And they did, they also got away after fighting each of you. They're perfectly fine and got away, no party gained from your 'little outing' and you" Prowl points to Stinger walking over to him, instead of having a normal expression, a guilty of curious expression, he just gave her a glare. "I don't care what Optimus and the others think, your clearly not one of us and you should not be allowed to go out and help like you think your one of us."
Stinger just looks at her, and he smiled. "Well, if you don't care about the others opinion, why should I care about yours? I went out, and did as well, if not better than the other two."
"I doubt that." Prowl growled. "And I don't know what complex you have, but you're not better than Bumblebee, and you're not better than the rest of us, know your place outcast" Prowl told him jabbing her finger into his chassis, he simply grabs her hand in a strong grip.
Everyone else was watching, Optimus was not there now, Bumblebee just groans looking away, she hates whenever they mention that, either if they are defending her or agreeing with him, they just put her on the spot.
"I'm not sure I like your tone." Stinger coldly said, he then pushed her hand away from his chassis. "And I may be different. But I don't think I'm an outcast, just an improved Cybertronian."
As the two glared at one another, seeming like they would get into a fight Ironhide pulled Stinger back while Bulkhead pulled Prowl back.
"Take it easy." Ironhide said. "We don't need Autobots fighting each other."
"Yeah, when Optimus comes back, she will deal with the issue, and address us with our next move." Bulkhead said, Prowl pulled away from Bulkhead and walks away.
"Call me when she returns." Was all she said, Stinger just shakes his head and leans against the wall.
"Sorry about her, she's an um, really strict bot, and you acting as if your better than everyone really grinds her gears." Bulkhead said.
"It's cool." Stinger said with a shrug, he still had a smile. "But she has a problem with my existence anyways, I don't need her approval or need her to like me so I can get whatever job I have done."
"Um, what does Optimus want to address?" Arcee asked Ratchet.
"Something about humans and what a lead to where the glasses are." Ratchet said.
"Okay, well did the leads give her anything specific about who may have it?" Arcee asked and Ratchet nods. "Okay, well who is it?"

Sam was sitting in the office nervous about the meeting, he fixed his tie and leans forward in the chair rapidly tapping his foot on the ground.
"Calm down." Jack told Sam. "I'm sure this will all go over well."
"I know, but I'm not a genius, I don't know what I'll be doing, it was disclosed with me" Sam said as he rubbed his forehead. "I'll be happy if all I got to do is sweep and mop."
Jack points to some robots that was already doing that job, Sam just groans deeply which in turn earned a chuckle from Jack. "You are a nervous wreck, I'm sure whatever spot you get won't need to be filled by a genius, I'm sure they know you aren't one."
"I hope so….I'll be happy to either deliver things to each floor, or babysit his child." Sam said.
"I can imagine how you would be while babysitting a kid, I wouldn't trust you with babysitting my kid." Jack said, Sam just looks at him. "What? I wouldn't, knowing you the kid might be covered in dirt, mud or outside the house in a different city"
"Oh, Ha ha." Sam sarcastically said, soon enough the door opens, and a lady walked out.
"Mr. Witwicky, you may come in now." The lady said and Sam groans and slowly gets up and nervously walked over, Jack giving him a thumbs up as he walked through the door.
A/N Hey everyone, sorry for the delay, I've been rewriting this a lot, while trying to get Stinger personality down before he changes for the better, I'm thinking a mix of John Walker Captain American, and Homelander.
Besides that, I just got a Parblo Digital design Monitor and spent most of yesterday setting it up and testing it, I love it.
Anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I want to keep a schedule but sometimes it's hard, so I'm thinking of just doing weekly uploads on different days. More stories will be made and I'm thinking of making a possibly Monster hunter story as well in the future.
Anyways see you guys next time. IceEmperor26 out!
