A/N: okay...so here is the next chapter

Chapter 13

It wasn't until the evening that Blaster got his team all situated and left to go retrieve the Arc. Some of the bots were all ready finished with their orders and now were lounging around, while the others were about to finish up. Jazz, Prowl, Optimus, Epps and Lennox were having a meeting which left Nightfire to be engaged with the Cybertronians. He was on Elita's shoulder, heading to the Rec Room- which they called it- to find the others. All who were in the Rec Room were Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Mirage, Chromia, Inferno and Smokescreen.

Smokescreen looked up from whatever he was doing and gave a smile to him and the femme commander. "I hope we haven't overwhelmed you a whole lot," he said.

"You didn't yet," Nightfire said. "But I don't understand how Ratchet is going to change me back into…my original form."

Mirage smiled. "Leave it to Ratchet; he'll think of something." Nightfire looked at the red bot, Mirage, he was Ratchet's mate. It wasn't that he remembered Jazz naming off them all but the way Mirage lit up when he talked about Ratchet made it obvious.

Elita turned to Inferno. "Any word from Blaster and the team?"

"Red reported that they made it out of the Earth's atmosphere," Inferno said. Red Alert is his mate, Nightfire noted to himself. "Nothing after that."

"I have no trouble letting Nightfire coming over and have time with you," Epps said, as he looked up at the bots.

Prowl looked down to the human. "I appreciate you taking care of him, but I do want my son to be back with-"

"Don't mind him," Jazz interrupted Prowl. He could feel his spark-mate getting jealous that Epps and Lennox were going to continue with caring for Nightfire. "Once everything is set up here, Nightfire can make his choice of whether he wants to live here or not."

Lennox nodded. "I'm sure that will work."

"We should be all set up within an Earth week," Optimus said.

Prowl was ready to argue that he should be able to have Nightfire now, but Jazz made him shut it before he tried anything. Optimus let Lennox and Epps climb on his hand and put them on their shoulder before heading out of the office with Prowl and Jazz behind. They found Nightfire in the Rec Room with several bots.

Nightfire looked at his Creators. "So…what was the meeting about?"

"When you live with us," Prowl said, hoping for Nightfire to just say he'll jump in and live with them right now.

"Well, when we are all set up and when you want to," Jazz added, trying to put off the pressure that his mate was creating on their mechling. "If you want to try, that is fine. If you don't Jthat is your choice."

Nightfire looked at Epps and Jazz, unsure of they would allow him, but they nodded at him, showing him that whatever he does is his choice. "I can try," Nightfire said.

Jazz chirped happily, Prowl smiled.

Nightfire this time looked at the soldiers. "I'm getting hungry."

Epps looked at his watch. "It's six o'clock…damn. It's time for us to go."

Jazz was about to transform into his vehicle mode, before Smokescreen jumped in. "I'll take them home," he said.

Prowl narrowed his visor, "Very well. Report when you drop them off and come back."

Smokescreen nodded and transformed into his vehicle mode, opening his doors to let the three organics in and drove out of the base. Jazz looked at Prowl, who just watched the scout take his mechling and the two soldiers home. "You know," Jazz said, "you can't force Nightfire to stay with us if he isn't ready."

"I'm not," Prowl said. "I'm giving him the hint that his Creators wants him back."

Jazz sighed. "In other words, forcing him to pick us." Prowl just looked at him. "He said that he will stay with us, and when he does, no imposing the thought that he should stay with us." Jazz started to walk away from the SIC, but instead of just staying where he was, Prowl was heading out with him.

"Are you just going to let him stay with the humans?" Prowl had to fight growling at his mate.

"No," Jazz said, which made Prowl look at him confused. "He will keep on living; the soldiers will be dead in a decade or so." Jazz gave a smile to his mate. "Let the boy have his time with them."

Blaster and his team had already made it out of Earth's atmosphere and was heading directly to the Arc. They made it to the Arc within an astroklik, Blaster went to the side and opened the door, allowing his team to go first before he did, closing the door behind him. Blaster looked around. "Everything's been untouched."

"That's good," Moonracer said.

"Best thing we can do is to double check," Blaster said. "Arcee check the weaponry, Blurr check the energon supplies." Arcee and Blurr went off to do what they were ordered. "First Aid, go check the medical supplies before your Sire has a temper."

First Aid nodded. "He'll throw a wrench at you, not at me," he said, going to the medical area.

"Moonracer go check the laboratory." Moonracer went.

Blaster went over to the main computer; he checked for any damages that could have happened when they were gone and if there were any Decepticons that had gotten on without them knowing. Nothing. :Blaster to Optimus:

: What is your status, Blaster?:

: We have boarded the Arc, sir. Everything is being checked:

: Good. Set the coordination back to the base:

:Yes sir. Blaster out.: Blaster set in the coordinates and put the Arc in automatic. Blaster watched the screen as the Arc was getting closer and closer to Earth.

Megatron was delighted with the news that he could now kill Prime's second and third in command plus their youngling. The way to bring down Prowl and Jazz is to take out Nightfire; making them watch as he killed the youngling. He walked in the Decepticon warship and headed straight to the Communication room where he knew that Soundwave and the Seekers would be at.

"Soundwave!" Megatron bellowed. Soundwave wasn't bothered by it but the Skywarp, Thundercracker and Starscream got startled. "I want you to figure out what the Autobots are up to."

Soundwave nodded.

"Lord Megatron, how great to see you still online," Starscream came up.

Thundercracker looked at Megatron, so did Skywarp. "I thought you were dead," Skywarp admitted which caused Megatron to look at him. Skywarp raised his hands in defense. "I'm just saying. Starscream let on thought you were; makes a poor excuse of a SIC, though."

Starscream growled.

"I'll deal with you later, Starscream."

"Autobots plan: found," Soundwave started. "Blaster's team is up in space receiving their Arc. Others are still on Earth."

Megatron was silent in thought. Here was an opportunity for them to get the Autobots…there was a small group up in space, not enough fire power which leaves them vulnerable. "Skywarp, I want you to go get Typhoon and bring him with you, Thundercracker and Starscream to take out Blaster's team."

Skywarp didn't show his hesitation but took off to go get his son. "Let's go outside and wait for those two," Starscream said, followed behind Thundercracker.

Soundwave looked to Megatron. "What is your plan?"

Megatron smiled. "Prowl and Jazz has found their youngling, so the best way to bring Prime's commanders down is to go after their youngling."

A/N: Huh...that seemed like a boring chapter...well i'll do better. Anyways, I want thoughts. Do you think Prowl is going to be pushy when Nightfire stays with him or not?
