AN: I've told you once and I'll tell you again...I do not own Barricade or Frenzy, Hasbro does...but I do own NiteFire...Now don't take this as a threat cause it's just a helpful reminder

Anyway...I didn't think I would be doing a sequel so...it may sound a bit confusing (although I had no intention of the last one either but I'm sure I'll figure out what I'm doing eventually...I hope)

Dawn's first light glimmered over the trees of where the three Deception survivors lay. Frenzy was the first to wake. He got up in his usual manner which was a loud yawn and a lot of stretching and scratching. He looked over at his partner, who was a bit of a light sleeper, sleeping as if he hadn't slept in years. Rolled over on his back and making such a racket with his snoring he wondered how he or NiteFire ever fell asleep.

NiteFire was curled in a tight ball with his back providing and excellent pillow for Barricade's head. The two seemed sound asleep, so Frenzy decided to have a look around the area and see what was different in the morning light. Scanning the area it looked like a construction site. Dirt road that lead to pavement on either side and large islands for the traffic's future right hand turns. Not to far off was a small road leading to a strange human settlement. Frenzy had never seen houses like these before. They looked like houses, but were very rectangular and appeared different somehow than regular houses. They were even oddly placed for a large number of them. But he didn't make any notice of it.

Frenzy then turned his attention to the town. He couldn't see it. Other than a few large signs protruding over the hill, there was nothing. He began to wonder if there was even a city there. Just as he was beginning to climb the hill to see what was causing all of the lights from the night before he heard a stir.

Frenzy whipped around to see NiteFire stretching his limbs and trying to push the snoring transformer off of him. "Get up you lazy bastard! You have no right to be tired" NiteFire said angrily as he eventually jerked His back away from Barricade, whose head sharply hit the ground. A loud yawn exited Barricade's mouth as he too joined the stretching party. Soon both were up and standing. NiteFire kept his eyes closed. Frenzy remembered the human sun's UV rays were bad for his eyes so he thought nothing of it.

"Alright. What's our plan of action?" Barricade groaned as he tried to rub the sleep out of his eyes. Frenzy hopped around happily as he pointed one of his clawed fingers towards the hill. "Let's go and see what's over there!" He said still bouncing around. Barricade shrugged his shoulder's and began to walk up the hill, NiteFire followed closely behind. Frenzy didn't notice that NiteFire's left hand was on Barricade's shoulder. When they reached the top Barricade just stood. Awestruck at where they were. Frenzy couldn't see that well, so like the squirrel he was, he climbed up Barricade's leg and scurried his way to the top of his head.

"I guess there is something here after all" Frenzy said staring at the small city. At first there didn't seem to be much. Truck stops, hotels, a Waffle house, and much more were all facing them from the other side of the highway. To the distance the could see even more buildings, newer and more advanced than the ones before them. They could even see a factory off in the distance.

"What ever this "LeBanon is, it's certainly larger than we thought it was" NiteFire said calmly. Again the dull tone in his voice made Frenzy wonder if he was seeing what they were. He gazed around and saw not far from them was the bridge that they had seen the night before.

Barricade felt a sudden jerk as NiteFire had hurtled him into the trees and bushes, he too soon followed his friends. Frenzy was mad now. "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT-" Frenzy started out but was quickly cut off by NiteFire enclosing him with his 4 clawed hand. Frenzy looked between the gaps and saw two men get out of a vehicle that had just pulled up.

"Didja see that?"

"No..I didn't...What dis you see?"

"Iuno...sometin' big. Like maybe one of 'em cougars or mountin lions or whatever ya call 'em"

"You need coffee...I saw nothin'"

The conversation continued on for a while before NiteFire let out an exasperated sigh. Barricade stared at him like he was nuts. "Don't you even dare! You know your afraid of- aw dammit" Barricade had began to say but didn't finish because NiteFire had transformed into a large catlike thing. It wasn't bigger than Frenzy, but it look something like a picture of a large cat with a mane that he had seen once. The large cat flared back it's ears and began to snarl as it prepared to pounce on the men.

Barricade acted quickly. He caged the cat in with his large fingers and tried to get it to stop snarling at the workers. By now, the workers were edging towards them, large metal stick in hand for defense. Again the cat transformed into a small rodent and crept through Barricade's finger cage. After doing so, it changed back into the large, blue-green armored dragon transformer.

In his mind he thought about shooting the workers, but his intentions were shortened when Barricade quickly transformed and summoned Frenzy to him. Frenzy hesitantly got in the car as he watched angrily as Barricade jolted out of the trees and barely missed the workers. Frenzy was now confused as he drove off down the road, past the settlement of odd human houses and away from the town.

Not Far by a boy was sitting on the stairs of the trailer in which his mom lived in. He was sitting and admiring the clouds that passed over his head. He head the roar of a motor and faintly saw a black and white police car race by. He stared at where it had passed for a moment and returned to his gazing thinking nothing of the matter that had just occurred.

Frenzy looked back at the road behind them. Now he was even more confused. "Barricade. Why did we leave NiteFire behind?" Frenzy said staring out the back window of the speeding Saleen. The radio tuned in and Frenzy listened intently, "Who said we left him?" the voice of Barricade said in the usual calm tone. Frenzy turned around to stare at the radio and saw an unusual sight. A man was driving the car. He didn't seem like the hologram Barricade usually used. Instead he wore the official police outfit but had slightly longer and spikier hair.

Frenzy prepared to attack when the man turned around and stared him down. Even with the man's large sunglasses on, Frenzy could still feel the gaze burning through his metal. Frenzy was speechless for words, but only 2 came out. "AW Shit!"
