Summery: (Set two months after 2007 movie) When a Autobot squad of six arrives on Earth after hearing the message from their leader, Optimus Prime. The old Cybertronian law enforcer of the group is determined to get in touch with his old partners even though they are part of the Decepticons.
Appearing Autobots: Prowl, Red Alert (an apprentice under Ratchet at one time), Inferno, Smokescreen, and Jetfire
AN: The Prowl in this fic is kind of like the Prowl in the old 80's cartoons but, since I kind of forgot his personally and such he might be a bit OC to those of you who do remember so please don't get mad at me. Plus his background might be changed to suet this fic.

In The Words of Prime...
Unknown to many humans on Earth, six metor-like things crash into separate places. In a small airport, where one landed, the Autobot scanned a nearby jet that sat near by. Another in a small sleepy town, the arrived Autobot scanned a fire truck. In another near by small town, another scanned an ambulance. In a quiet big city suburb, the Autobot scanned a small golden sports car that had a blood-red flame design. Near a city highway in Nevada, the last Autobot scanned his form. A Nevada SUV Highway Patrol car. "Okay in the words of Optimus..." the leader spoke "Transform and roll out!" They all began to move.

It was bright beautiful Saturday, Sam and Bumblebee was hanging out in the Autobots favorite spot where they could be in their robot forms without being notice. Sam lean against Bumblebee's leg as he listen to the conversation with some of the other bots that hung out. Sam's girlfriend was there as well. "So no one gotten your message yet sir?" Ratchet asked their big bot leader.
"It does seem that way..." Optimus replied.
"Maybe they haven't gotten here yet." suggested Mikeala.
At that moment there was this sound of car engines and an engine of a jet coming near. Sam and Mikeala looked up. They saw a small convoy of five cars and a jet nearing them. The Autobots looked a bit sock. Mostly Optimus when he saw the leader car was a Highway Patrol car. "It can't be..." Optimus started in disbelief.
Bumblebee looked very happy and to Sam's surprised transform back into his Camaro form and raced off towards the oncoming convoy. "Bee!" Sam shouted out "Where you going?!"
Mikeala blinked in surprise. "Bee!" Just as the leader car was starting to transform into another bot, Bumblebee did as well, tackling the newer bot to the ground in with looks like a big bot hug.
"Prowl!" Bumblebee shouted happily.
Prowl blinked. "Bumblebee?" Bumblebee just smiles and nods, still giving the bot a big hug. Sam and Mikeala tried not to laugh at the way Bumblebee was acting.
"He's acting like a little kid who hasn't seen his big brother in a long long time..." Mikeala said giggling quietly.
The other cars and the jet that was there also transformed. "Bumblebee? You got your voice back?" Prowl asked. Bumblebee nodded. Sam at that time notice the new bot was a bit different. The one Bumblebee had called Prowl had two different colors eyes and half of a face missing. He could see the cirictry what would be cover by the metal skin. The two humans looked at each other, then at Optimus. Bumblebee was still hugging Prowl. "Okay Bumblebee I missed you too. Now how about getting off me? I have to make a report to Prime." Bumblebee pulled away and helped Prowl up. Prowl nods his thanks and walked over to where Optimus stood. He at that moment notices the two humans. "They know?" he asked his leader.
Optimus nodded. "Bumblebee protects them."
"Well I be..." Prowl started "What's the language on this planet?"
"I wonder what they are saying?" Sam wonders out loud. Mikeala nodded.
Optimus grinned. "You need to check the 'web' as Sam and Mikeala call it..." he gestured to the two humans that stood next to him.
Prowl nodded and him and the new bots did just that. "Oh wow! This is way cool!" one of them spoke afterwards "I like your paint job sir!" Sam and Mikeala were leaning against each other trying not to laugh out right.
Prowl sighed. "We are not here to talk about paint jobs, Smokescreen..." he said.
"Well yours is nice as well Smokescreen." Optimus replied.
The two humans couldn't help it anymore; they began to laugh, hard. "Maybe before we go on we should introduce ourselves to the humans..." suggested the bot that was the jet. The two took some deep breaths to calm down.
It was Optimus who decided to introduce the teens to the new bots. "The young male is Sam." said Optimus. Sam waved a hello and gave a smile. He was still thinking of the funny scene that had just happened not to long ago. "And the Young Female is Mikeala."
"Hey." she said with a smile, she too was still thinking of what just happened.
"I am Prowl." said the SUV.
"The name's Jetfire." the bot that was the jet spoke.
"I'm Smokescreen." said the Sports car.
"Inferno." the fire truck one spoke.
"And I'm Red Alert." said the second ambulance.
After introductions were done Optimus got back to the task in hand. "It's good to see you Prowl." he said "We were beginning to worry about you and the others."
"We came as fast as we could when we got your massage Prime." Prowl said.
"Meaning we have to stop every so often..." Jetfire started. Prowl glared at Jetfire. "What? I didn't mean in that way." Jetfire said "It can't be helped." Prowl huffed and turned away indignantly. Sam and Mikeala glance at each other a bit confused.
"Think we should ask?"
"I don't know..." Sam started warily "If he has just a bad temper as Ironhide..." She nodded.
"So where the All Spark and when do we head home?" asked Smokescreen.
Sam and Mikeala looked away from the new Autobots. "Hey Bee." Sam called, checking the time. "Can you take us home? My dad will be angry if I'm late again..."
Bumblebee looked unsure as he looked over at Sam then over at Prowl. "Bumblebee go take them home." Optimus ordered "I'm sure Prowl will still be here when you come back." Mikeala began to giggle again as Optimus said that. Bumblebee did a small sigh as he transforms and open the doors for the two teens. They clambered in, Mikeala giggling the whole time. Optimus watched as Bumblebee drove off. He shook his head grinning.
"Same old Bumblebee." Red Alert said, also smiling "Seems he missed you Prowl."
"Duh..." said Smokescreen. Prowl turns around to say something when suddenly he started twitching again. The others looked away.
- - -
On the ride back to his house, Sam was wanted to ask Bumblebee something. "Hey Bee..." he started.
"What?"
"What's the thing with you and that new bot. The one called Prowl?" he asked.
"I think of him as my older brother..."
"Oh so that's why you tackle him and gave him a bear hug." Mikeala said with a smile.
"Hey..."
"We're not making fun of you Bee." Sam said.
"Yeah." said Mikeala. "I thought it was cute."
"By what Optimus said, you guys haven't seen them for awhile." said Sam.
"Nope. Not for years and years..."
"So what happened?" Mikeala asked "Did you guys separate during your war?"
"I think we did..."
"I don't want to ask but why dose Prowl have two color eyes?" Sam asked.
"..." Sam notice Bumblebee didn't want to talk about it.
"Well, if you don't want to talk about it we won't pry."
- - -
Back at with the Autobots, it took awhile until Prowl stopped twitching. "Are you all right?" asked Optimus.
"...Yeah..." Prowl said.
"He been doing that lately since then." Red Alert spoke. Optimus nodded.
"So what happen sir?" Jetfire asked Optimus "Where's the All Spark and what happened to Megaton and the other Decepctions?"
"Megatron is dead, and we had no choice but to destroy the All Spark."
"And all the Depections expect Starsceam, Barriade, and Freenzy they are still alive." said Iornhide.
Suddenly Prowl looked up. "What did you just say Iornhide?" he asked, making he heard the last two names right.
"Barricade and Freenzy are still alive." Optimus repeated.
Suddenly Prowl transforms and started to drive off. "Primus, Iornhide!" said Inferno "Do you know what you just did?!"
The two blinked. "What did we do?"
"You know after what was just heard he's just going to try and find them." said Red Alert "But with what's happening to him he could get into some trouble if it happens again and they don't remember him."
"Ah..."
"I just hope it's not going to happen." said Jetfire.
"Someone gotta go after him." said Smokescreen "Ya know give him some back up."
"You know how Prowl feels about that." said Optimus "Once he had something on his mind he'll not stop until he sees it through and you know he likes doing thing alone." The others nodded.
- - -
Once Bumblebee drop Sam and Mikeala at Sam's house, he dove up in hopes to get back to the others and spend more time with Prowl. As he drove along he spies Prowl driving in a different direction he was going. Where's he going? Bumblebee decided to fallow him.
- - -
Miles down the road Prowl notice a black police car sitting on the side of a deserted road. He slowly pulled up next to it. He notices it was empty so he hopes it was who he was looking for. He drove by the cop car to see if it would move on its own. When it didn't more Prowl got a little worried. At that same time Bumblebee watched near by curious in what Prowl was doing. Then suddenly Bumblebee recognized the familiar markings on the cop car. Bumblebee inched forward slowly. Prowl was still worried as he slowly parked next to the cop car. "...Barricade...?" The cop car seemed to jump an inch off the ground.
"Who wants to know stupid Autobot." a familiar voice said.
"...Barricade...It's me...Prowl..." The cop car did a u-turn to look at the other Transformer.
"Don't play tricks on me Autobot! Prowl is dead!"
Prowl sighed. "Dead? Who told you that?"
"Lord Megatron."
Prowl sighed and transform into his bot form. "Dose it look like I'm dead, Barricade?" he asked. That's when Prowl notice they were being watch. He could see Bumblebee behind Barricade. He glared and Bumblebee got the message to leave the two alone. Bumblebee left as quietly as he could. Once he saw Bumblebee out of site, Prowl turn his attention back at Barricade, who was still in car form. Barricade transformed and stared at Prowl. Prowl smiled. "It seems that even though you join the Decepticons you chose that form." he said "To remind you of the good old days?"
Barricade nodded. "I couldn't return after that humiliating..." He trailed off but Prowl understood.
"Where's Frenzy?" Prowl asked.
"I'm not sure. I know he survived, but, I haven't seen hide nor hair of him as the humans would say..." Before Prowl would say anything, he started to twitch again. Barricade looked at his partner with concern in his eyes. That's when Barricade notice Prowl two different color optics. The last time Barricade saw Prowl was that Prowl had a pair of light blue optics. Now one optics was a yellow color, and this was on the side were he and Frenzy saw Starscream shot him. Starscream did this! Barricade was in the sense piss as he watches Prowl still twitching. If I ever meet Starscream again...
As if on cue, Starscream and the new Depections that came with him arrived on the scene. "Nice work Barricade." Starscream said "Now finish him!" Baricade just looked from Starscream to Prowl and back again. He didn't really know what his first move should be. He just hoped Prowl would stop twitching soon...
- - -
Now luckily Bumblebee wasn't far when he had spotted Starscream and some other Decpections arrive and was going to where Prowl was. Barricade spotted Bumblebee and tried to tell him silently to get the others. Then Barricade realized that the small bot probly had no clue that he was a friend of Prowl's. He discretely tuned his radio and made specific words emphasized, hoping the kid would get the message and leave before his 'comrades' noticed him. BumbleBee slowly drove away, having figured out what Baricade was trying to say, though he was a bit confused.
- - -
Hours later, Bumblebee arrived at the others. "You're a bit late, Bumblebee." said Iornhide "Prowl just left."
"I saw. He's with Barricade and more Deceptions have arrived. Including Starscream."
"Prowl's good. You know that Bumblebee." said Ratchet "He can take care of it."
"Unless..." started Red Alert.
"Barricade told me to get you. And, I'm confused" Bumblebee interrupted. "Prowl began to twitch again just before..."
"This is not good." said Jetfire.
"We'll explain it to you later Bumblebee." said Optimus "Let's just roll out and rescue Prowl." Bumblebee nodded. "Jetfire, go on ahead since you can go faster flying." Jetfire nodded. With that the group transforms and headed off to find and help Prowl. Bumblebee was almost leading the way.
