A/N: Hello….hello…hello

The Silvernote: Prowl is pushy and Jazz's comment was harsh but those two have their reasons, which will be coming up soon.

Guest: You are correct. With Prowl being pushy about him staying and he should make up his mistakes, but we shall wait and see

Chapter 14

Smokescreen was listening to Epps directions to get back to his place, paying attention to the road and to the organics conversation. "So," Lennox started, looking back at Nightfire, "what do you plan to do?"

Nightfire sighed. " I don't know. I want to try and spend time with them but I doubt Galloway would appreciate it."

"Galloway has no say anymore," Epps said, frowning at the name. "I made that clear to him today, he has no word over you plus you can make your own decisions now. If you tell Prowl and Jazz about him, I'm sure they would love to meet him."

Smokescreen slowed down at the lights. "Who is this Galloway and why would Prowl and Jazz love to meet him?"

Nightfire chuckled. "It's a long story. I'll tell you about it sometime."

"Okay," Smokescreen sounded unsure.

Epps leaned back on the seat, with his arms crossed. "So tell me something Smokescreen, can you clarify up somethings?"

"All depends." Smokescreen took a left turn. "Anything that is highly classified you go all the Commanders. Anything medical you go to the medics; anything about weapons or science, you mostly go to Ironhide, Chromia, Wheeljack and Perceptor."

"What about me?" Nightfire asked. Smokescreen had already pulled up to Epps' place.

"Well… I can tell you about the day that your Creators decided not to involve you in the war and the days before," Smokescreen implied. "However, anything personal, like family, who they were and much more, they need to tell you."

Lennox and Epps got out of the car and was already to the house. Nightfire got out too but stayed behind. "I have school in the morning. Can you pick me up around eight and tell me?"

Smokescreen hummed in acceptance. "I will." Nightfire smiled before jogging to the house. :Smokescreen to Prowl and Jazz:

:Prowl and Jazz here: Prowl commed.

:Did you make it?: This time it was Jazz.

:They are home safely. No reports of Decepticons:

:Good. Come back safe. Jazz out:

:Prowl out:

Smokescreen turned off his comm link and started back up again, heading back to the base.

_(Lockdown Transition)_

Skywarp was beside his and Thundercracker's creation, Typhoon, while Thundercracker and Starscream was ahead, bickering at each other. "What pathetic second-in-Command gets beaten by two Autobot scouts!?"

"Shut up," Starscream mumbled.

"Prowl can out beat any of our scouts by himself!"

"Thundercracker," Starscream growled in warning.

Skywarp sighed. Those two had been bickering the entire time they were heading off to space. "ENOUGH!" Skywarp finally had it. "You two have been bickering none stop. Starscream, I swear if you don't stop, I will tell Megatron that you have never looked for him and planned his death in so many ways." Starscream went instantly silent. "And you," Skywarp looked at his spark-mate. "if you don't stop, we will not interface for half a vorn!" Thundercracker went silent as well, and nodded.

It was silent for a moment or so before Typhoon asked, "Is that the Arc?" He pointed to a ship that was heading to Earth.

"It is," Starscream said.

Thundercracker looked to Typhoon. "Stay here in case any more Autobots show up." Typhoon nodded as he watched both of his creators and Starscream head to the Autobot ship.

_(Lockdown Transition)_

"Everything is all accounted for," First Aid said, coming back from the medbay. "I doubled checked to make sure."

Blaster smiled. "Good."

Moonracer, Arcee and Blurr all came back. "Everything is accounted for with us," Moonracer said.

"We are headed back to the base," Blaster said. "The faster we get there, the better."

Arcee smiled. "Want to see your nephew again?"

Blaster shrugged. "I want to know if he is alright. Same with Pro-" Before, he could even finish saying his sentence, the alarms went off. Being the closest to the control panels, Blaster checked the security cameras and found the Seekers attacking the ship. Skywarp and Thundercracker was shooting at it while Starscream was on the ship looking for a way in or a weakness. "Arcee and Moonracer go and online the ships weapons and fire at them." The two femmes nodded and took off. "Blurr, you're with me. First Aid, try and keep the ship steady and put on the force field. Once you do, join me and Blurr."

"You got it."

Blaster and Blurr ran- well, Blurr grabbed a hold of Blaster and ran- and made it to an emergency exit. "Whatisyourplan?" Blurr asked.

"Try and get Starscream off the ship," Blaster said. "First Aid, Arcee and Moonracer has the other two. Right now, I don't want the Second-in-Command of the Decepticons to get in."

Blurr nodded. "Iwillbethedistraction," he said as he opened the door. Blaster and Blurr climbed up the side of the Arc, as quickly and quietly as they could. Blurr ran quickly and knocked Starscream down. Blaster watched before he heard the Arc's weapons come online and began to fire at the Decepticons. Starscream growled as he got up, pointing his canyon at Blurr, trying to get a perfect shot. Blaster online his weapon, as he strode towards the SIC, he shot at the SIC in the back.

Starscream screamed in agony. Thundercracker cried out in pain, both of the two Autobots turned to see First Aid shooting at him and had hit him on his wing. Skywarp flew closer to his mate, grabbing a hold of him to help support his flight. Blurr ran to Starscream, pushing him off the Arc. Blaster stared at Skywarp, unsure of what he was planning. "First Aid, Blurr go back inside."

"Bu-"

"Aid, trust me," Blaster said, interrupting the young medic. The two Autobots did as they were told. Blaster and Skywarp were just staring at each other, but a movement from behind the two Seekers caught his attention. As he just looked at whatever was moving towards them, his spark dropped once he seen a youngling flying in worry towards his Sire. : Blaster to Arcee and Moonracer, I want you to offline the ship's weapons.:

:Can I ask why?: Arcee asked.

:Trust me on this. Blaster out.: Blaster looked at the three. "Skywarp, Thundercracker, I have no intension to continue firing at you. I advise you leave."

Thundercracker was too busy telling his creation he was fine, but something gleamed in Skywarp's optics, almost like he was thankful for him to stop so he can attend to his mate. Skywarp nodded. "Much appreciated, Autobot." Skywarp grabbed his son, and held a tight grip on his family before warping off. Blaster sighed, and climbed back in to the ship.

"What was that about?" Arcee asked, as her and Moonracer came into the mech's view.

"There was a youngling there, I didn't want him to witness his Sire's death," Blaster said, as he started to walk back to the Control room with the other bots behind him.

"I didn't know Thundercracker and Skywarp had a youngling," First Aid said. "I remember they are spark-mates but I've never seen them with a youngling."

"Me neither," Blaster said. He was thinking about the thankful look Skywarp gave him. "Me neither."

_(Lockdown Transition)_

Prowl and Jazz were hanging in the Rec Room with Optimus, Elita, Bulkhead, Ironhide, Chromia, Wingflare, Ratchet, Mirage, Inferno, Red Alert, Bluestreak, Perceptor and Wheeljack, just trying to kill time until Blaster and his team gets back. "So, how is the Allspark suppose to bring Cybertron back to life?" Ironhide asked.

"It's an instrument of Primus," Prime said. "So once it connects back with Cybertron it will restore it."

Wingflare chuckled. "You haven't paid any attention when your Creators explained about the Allspark and Cybertron, have you?"

"I did," Optimus admitted. "But it bored me so I thought about other things."

They heard tires squeaking to a halt, just outside, within an astrosecond Smokescreen came inside. "Nightfire and the soldiers are home," he said. "He wants me to pick him up tomorrow morning."

"Why?" Prowl asked. In a sense, he was worried if something came up and it made Nightfire feel like he couldn't talk to him but he was a tad jealous.

"He said he wanted to talk," Smokescreen said, as he sat down beside Chromia. "And that I have to drive him to school."

Prowl nodded. It wasn't until they stopped talking that that they realized the base was quiet…too quiet. Red Alert looked around, not seeing Cosmos anywhere, starting to panic a bit. "Where's Cosmos?"

Perceptor mumbled something before calling out. "SIDESWIPE! SUNSTREAKER!" Nothing. "COSMOS! BUMBLEBEE!" No replies but there were footsteps coming down the hall.

Kup, Hound and Hoist had the four rounded together. "They were trying to sneak out," Hound said.

Inferno and Red Alert growled. "Cosmos, you know with the Decepticons still around you are also at the top of the list," Red Alert was trying to calm himself from his paranoia but at the same time freaking over his creation.

"Sorry," Cosmos said.

"Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, once everything is all set up, you are going in the brig," Wheeljack rubbed his helm.

"Why?!" Sunstreaker looked at his Sire.

"For giving me a processor ache and we don't know of this planet yet."

Optimus looked at Bumblebee and shrugged. "Bee has a pass since he is a scout."

Hound, Kup and Hoist let them go. "Any word from Blaster and his team?" Kup asked.

Elita shook her helm. "No. There reported in a couple of hours ago, so, hopefully things are going smoothly."

_(Lockdown Transitions)_

Skywarp and Typhoon helped Thundercracker to the medbay, laying him down on the berth. "Knockout!" Skywarp called for the medic. Knockout, the red medic, came out from his office, to see Skywarp, Typhoon and Thundercracker. "Thundercracker needs your medical attention."

Knockout sighed. "You didn't fly into a mountain, again did you?"

"No, it was from the Autobots, this time."

Knockout bit his lip and looked at the Seeker. He was checking out the Seeker's wing before he turned to look at the youngling. "Are you hurt Typhoon?"

"No," Typhoon said. "I was on lookout. Sire was the only one that got shot, so did Starscream."

Knockout nodded, believing him before going back to Thundercracker's wing. "Well, you are lucky. You didn't suffer damage from getting shot; it just needs time to heal so no flying. Doctor's orders." Thundercracker nodded, knowing you should never argue with a doctor. "So where is our infamous Second-in-Command?"

Skywarp smiled. "I made him report to Megatron, if any bot was going to report the failure, it's going to be him."

_(Lockdown Transition)_

As much as Starscream was damaged, he reported to Megatron. No thanks to Skywarp who was just fuming, and forced him to go tell Megatron, as he and his youngling supported Thundercracker's wing. "It was a failure," Starscream said. "The Autobots got an upper hand."

"I know they got an upper hand was because Skywarp filled me in over the commlink, due to you," Megatron was fuming. "You were on the ship, you could have blasted the damn thing, create a hole and got in."

Starscream opened his mouth to say something but Megatron didn't allow him to reply. "Never mind, I do this myself." With that, Megatron left, coming up with a plan of his own to kill and get rid of the Autobots for good.
