Chapter 7: ...Who Could They Be?...

Short chapter I know.

NEMESIS. STARSCREAM AND MORRITAN ARE TALKING

"So where do you think they fled off to?" asked Morritan.

"Probably just hiding. That Knockout has never been too brave, Soundwave doesn't have any weapons, I bet he could be easily defeated by even Bumblebee, and Stormclaw could be captured by me, the Autobot's may not be as talented as me but they could take her down any time any where." said Starscream to his mate.

"True. My mech is too powerful. He can not be defeated." Morritan rapped her servos around his neck.

"Well enough thinking. Let's have a little fun..." Starscream was about to kiss Morritan, when a drone commed him.

(WHAT!?)

(Lord Starscream, two Decepticon seekers were detected in the stratosphere.)

(Alright. We're on our way.)

"What is it?" she asked innocently.

"Two seekers were detected. I need to check it out. You want to come with me?" he asked.

"Of course." she grabbed Starscream's arm, and the two walked out(you get cookie if you guess who those two seekers are).

AUTOBOT BASE, CHILDREN HAVE GONE HOME

"Those kids are nice." said Stormclaw, she was sitting on the bot sized couch leaning against Knockout. "What were their names again."

"Jack was the tall boy, Miko was the girl with black hair, Raf was the other boy, and Andy was the girl that grabbed Kingdom Hearts." Soundwave walked over to Lazerbeak who looked like he could use energon.

"I like the video games." Knockout said.

"Lazerbeak, What's wrong? Please, drink this. You need the energon, you haven't had any since we got here." Soundwave was talking to Lazerbeak. Lazerbeak was refusing the energon that Soundwave was offering him.

"Let me see him." Knockout said. Soundwave didn't hesitate to give Lazerbeak to his friend. He looked at him, and scanned Lazerbeak. "Nothing seems to be wrong. He just doesn't want the energon, but on my scans it shows that he needs it. Lazerbeak, you need this energon." he then had an idea, he passed him over to Soundwave. "Try to give him the energon. If he won't take it himself, you'll have to feed him like a sparkling." Lazerbeak gave off a chirp of protest.

"Lazerbeak, why aren't you drinking this?" Soundwave asked again, right then Ratchet came in.

"Lazerbeak won't eat?" Ratchet asked.

"Yeah. I scanned him, but my scans said that he just needs the energon, nothing wrong with him." said Knockout, showing Ratchet the scans.

"Hm. Let me scan him." he walked over to Lazerbeak and Soundwave, Ratchet scanned Lazerbeak, looked at the results and was confused. "Same as yours. Doesn't make sense at all." he walked back and forth until he looked at Soundwave again. "Are there any reasons why he wouldn't want to eat? Any thing at all?"

"Not really." he responded. Soundwave then remembered, today many years ago was when his other deployer went missing "Or maybe. Today, five years ago, Ratbat, Frenzy, Rumble, and Ravage went missing. He has never forgotten that day." when Soundwave finished his sentence Lazerbeak grabbed the energon cube Soundwave was holding, flew to the energon storage room grabbed four small cubes the size of his and flew outside of the base.

"Lazerbeak! Where are you going? COME BACK!" exclaimed Stormclaw. "Where is he going Soundwave?"

"I do not know. But we need to follow him." Soundwave ran out the base, followed by everyone else.

DEEPER IN THE DESERT

"It's been five years. We can't keep going." said a small Cybertronian.

"Rumble's right, Ravage. It's been days since we found any energon. We can't keep going. Ratbat can't even fly with out falling back down." said another.

"Frenzy, he's too stubborn. I guess we'll just have to keep going." said Rumble. Suddenly there was a chirp in the distance "Did you guys hear that? That sounded like Lazerbeak." Rumble and Frenzy looked around. "That's because it was Lazerbeak. LAZERBEAK! DOWN HERE, DOWN HERE!" Rumble and Frenzy exclaimed waiving their servos in the air. Lazerbeak saw them and went to them. "He has energon with him. Lazerbeak, we thought we'd never see you again. Where's Soundwave? Is he coming?"

"Lazerbeak, why did you just leave...like...that? Ratbat, Frenzy, Rumble, Ravage? Is that you? Your online!" Soundwave exclaimed.

"SOUNDWAVE!" exclaimed Frenzy and Rumble. AII his deployers ran over to him and hugged his legs.

"Hey, why did Lazerbeak just fly away like that?" asked Stormclaw, Knockout was right behind her.

"Are they who I think they are?" Knockout asked, Soundwave nodded. "You guys are alive!" the Deployers looked back at Knockout and Stormclaw. They let go of Soundwave and tried to hug-tackle them.

"Nice try. You need energon, how did you survive without it for five years?" asked Stormclaw. They all looked like they were about half way offline.

"Lazerbeak, could I have those energon cubes?" Knockout asked. Lazerbeak was about to give him the four cubes, when the rest of the Autobots came.

"Soundwave why did Lazerbeak fly away?" Wasp asked, followed by his bother, the other twins and Illusion. The Deployers looked at Wasp with fear(except Lazerbeak).

"What are they doing here?" Frenzy asked.

"Forget that, why aren't we attacking?" asked Rumble.

"They are friends. Optimus is Stormclaw's uncle, and they," Soundwave gestured over to Wasp and Bumblebee "are her cousins. We found this out a few days ago."

"Makes sense, kinda...well..." Rumble trailed off.

"Shut up." said Frenzy, elbowing him not to hard, his brother returned it a little harder, Frenzy then punched Rumble, Rumble returned the favor, Frenzy pushed him, jumped and landed on Rumble.

"You two STOP FIGHTING!" exclaimed Soundwave.

"He started it." said Rumble.

"Did not." said Frenzy.

"You say one more thing you two will be in so much trouble.

"Fine." they said in unison.

"For Primus sakes. It's getting late we have to go back to base." said Ratchet.

"Alright, don't get your armor in a twist." said Stormclaw and Illusion in unison. They all transformed and left for the base
