Hack sneered at the window to Colan's former class room for a moment as he heard the final screams of Barricade "looks like that fool couldn't even manage to keep two autobots distracted and I was having so much fun" Hack let out a sigh "well at least I have time to finish my mission before your guardians get here, get ready to look into your future fleshling" cried Hack as he extracted a large axe weapon from a section of armour from his back. Hack took aim at Bumblebee's Avatar ready to split him in two with one movement "enjoy the show because your next witwicky" said Hack with an almost psychopathic tone ringing in his voice. The Decepticon swung is weapon in one quick movement, it moved so fast that it was almost splitting the air as it went. Hack was savouring every nano second as the axe drew closer to his target "stupid creature, he's not even trying to run away from me, so much the better, at least I can get another look at how these things are built before I remove the other one's main processor" thought hack as the axe closed the last few inches to what he thought was a human head.

Only an instant remained before the axe would make make contact and Hack was expecting the same spray of blood that he had seen when he took the human Colan apart. But his anticipation was replaced not by joy but by shock as the axe slid through Bumblebee's Avatar like he was made of thin air. Hack screamed as the weapon continued to pass through the Avatars body and embedded it's self in the floor between the Blond Avatar's feet. For Hack the world was moving in slow motion as his hold on the axe slipped away, "how did this happen, I have never mistaken a target before, never, this thing is an avatar, I should have seen it straight away but my scanners showed it as human" thought Hack. The Decepticon started running scenario after scenario through his processor hoping to discover how he had missed something like this, when had the Autobots managed to make Avatar's this perfect, this flawless, there was no scanner that he knew of with ability to tell the difference between this and a real human. Hack froze as something dawned on him "if the autobots can make avatars that scan as human then that means that they could be hiding anywhere, not just in vehicle mode but in this form as well I could have been surrounded by them while their main forms were hidden from view and I still could be" the thought raced through his mind then everything stopped.

Sam's Avatar watched as a blast of energy passed through the window then destroyed the Decepticons head, the metal form reeled backwards decapitated and flailing around. For a few seconds the headless body twisted and lashed out as a few last commends were executed then it finally fell to the floor in a crumpled heap energon leaking out and forming a large pool that quickly started to evaporate into a fine mist. Sam traced the blast back to a hole in the window where just beyond Bumblebee stood his main cannon deployed and still cooling in the late morning air. "nice shot bee" said Sam as he turned to face Bee's Avatar "thanks sam" replied Bee as he checked his Avatar form over for any damage, lucky he had managed to drop the cohesion of his Avatar form a second before that axe connected with it and that had saved him from experiencing any pain from the blow. Sam looked around the room as he heard shouts coming from the corridor beyond the doors "we should go bee, let's have our avatars rejoin our main bodies and get out of here right now" said Sam as he ran for the now broken window. Bee's Avatar followed close behind him and asked "don't you think we should explain all this sam?" Sam paused for a second and replied "no we have to go I have this feeling that we're not out of danger yet, not any of us". Again Bumblebee was confused and said "there are only the two of us here sam" "but my mom and dad are in trouble too, I can just feel it, the decepticons are going to try and use them to get to me again I just know it we have to get there first, I wont have them hurt again, not because of me" said Sam with a determination that Bumblebee had only ever heard from Optimus.

Sam's Autobot hand reached through the window further destroying it and his Avatar became a mass of dancing lights as it rejoined his main form, Bumblebee followed Sam's lead and did the same a few seconds later. Both Autobots transformed and quickly raced away from the campus as fast as they could go. The door to the now empty class room opened and Leo burst in looking for Sam and Bee, he was greeted by an empty room, a smashed window and the lifeless corps of a Decepticon "what the hell is going on here!" Leo exclaimed to the empty room. But no answer came, only the sound of two very powerful engines filled the still air.

Both Sam and Bee were soon far away from campus and their speed was not dropping, Sam opened his com system and tried to call his parents but all he got was a message saying "the person you are trying to reach is not in an area covered by this network please try again later". Desperate to contact his family Sam tried to call Mikaela's cell phone but he received the same message, thinking quickly he tried the shop phone but received another message saying "all lines in this area are currently down due to a fault please try again later". This was no accident, Sam knew that this had to be the work of the Decepticons, they had cut him off from his parents and home town so that he would have to go there to find them. Sam commed Bumblebee and said "I can't reach home bee, all the lines are down in and out of tranquility, this has to be a trap for us" Bee quickly replied "there's no doubt about that in my mind either sam, our next move should be to attack it in a way they aren't expecting".

"in that case we're going to need some help, if we can get optimus and the others here then we may be able to catch the cons off guard" commed Sam "good idea" replied Bee". Sam accessed his com settings and contacted Optimus "optimus, I need your help the decepticons tried to attack me and bumblebee at college and now I think they're going after my parents so they can get to me again" the com was silent for a second, then Optimus said "I'll contact ironhide, ratchet and sideswipe with a little luck we can be there in a few hours, don't put your self at risk sam wait for backup". Sam heard the words but some how they didn't fully sink in, he knew that Optimus and the others were on their way but for some strange reason he also knew that it would be to late to help his parents. "thanks optimus, but I have the feeling that the decepticons aren't going to wait for you to get there are their any military units in the area that we can count on" asked Sam as he increased his speed even more "there are no units close by that are trained to handle this sort of thing, why do you feel that the decepticons will attack before we get there?" asked a very concerned Optimus.

Why was Sam so sure, he didn't know how he knew he just did, it was like the time he gathered up the dust that formed the matrix, he just knew with all his being that he was right. "I wish I could explain it optimus but I cant, it's like there's something inside me telling me what's going to happen and I just cant explain it no matter how hard I try, I wish I could say it was fear or paranoia but it's deeper than that, I just know that I have to get my parents out of there before the decepticons take them away again" Optimus heard a tone of command in Sam's voice that he had only heard his brothers use in the past. Sam was certain about all this and he would do what ever he felt was necessary to keep his parents safe, Optimus knew this simply by that tone and there was know way he could convince Sam otherwise. "all right sam if your sure about this then I will try and get what forces I can to tranquillity in time for your arrival but please be careful both of you" commed Optimus as he contacted Lennox. Sam increased his speed even more and now he was racing past other cars at close to two hundred miles an hour, Bumblebee was only just keeping up with Sam's ever increasing speed as the two Autobots blew past a tanker truck.

"sam you have to remember that there are other car's on this road, there is a limit as to how fast you can go with out hurting anyone" commed Bumblebee "I know bee but I cant let them get hurt because of me, not again" replied Sam. Bee pulled closer to Sam and commed "you won't be able to help anyone if you get your self scrapped before you get there" Sam didn't want to admit it but Bee was right, he would do no one any good if he was lying in pieces all over the highway because of an accident. Sam reluctantly dropped his speed well below two hundred and started scanning for other vehicles especially police units that would try to pull him and Bee over for travelling well past the speed limit. Sam's scanners soon picked up police units closing on their position "bee we have cop's incoming" commed Sam "I see them, we cant stop and explain right now so I think we need to ask simmons for some help" replied Bumblebee. "not him" thought Sam, hearing only silence over the com Bee said "I'll call him sam you don't have to deal with him right now".

Simmons was sitting in a nice air-conditioned office far away from the out side world, he had at last dealt with all the field work he had been assigned and was now enjoying a nice quite break. He hummed to him self as he filled in a few simple forms and did some easy tasks on his computer, this was what he had wanted for so long, no bullets flying at him, no alien robots ruining his day, no fate of the world consequences riding on his every decision, just peace and quite. Not even a ringing phone could ruin his good mood "hello" he said cheerfully as he answered it, then everything he had been enjoying was shattered when he heard the voice on the other end of the line. "ben, how nice to hear from you, please tell me that this is just a social call" Simmons gritted his teeth as he prayed for a yes answer, but one didn't come. His face fell as Bumblebee explained the situation "just hold on a second, ok so two decepticons attacked you both while you were at college and your "autobot guardians" dealt with them and saved you both" Simmons paused as Bee confirmed his last statement.

A few silent seconds passed as Simmons took all this in "ok so you want me to smooth thing over with the college and clean up the mess is that it, just two dead decepticons and some property damage" Simmons was silent again for a few seconds as Bumblebee added more information. Simmons let out a sight and said "two dead decepticons, property damage and a dead professor to clean up, I think I have the forms for all that somewhere here, what do you mean that's not all, what else is there?". Once again Simmons fell silent as Bumblebee told him the rest, all the colour drained from Simmons face for a second as he said "your currently traveling way beyond the speed limit and you need me to keep the cops, highway patrol and anyone else who might try and stop you out of your way so you can get to tranquility quickly, sam thinks his parents are in danger, why does he think his parents are in danger?". Simmons pulled back from the phone for a second as he received a sharp verbal response "ok, ok, he just knows like before and he can't explain it" Simmons trailed off as his attention was distracted by a flashing mess on his computer screen. The message was about the attack on the college and some details on what had happened.

Simmons quickly scanned the text then said "so our "new autobot" took out barricade, nice work there, right I'll try and smooth things over with who ever is on your tail, I'll tell them that your on some kind of official business that's time critical and highly classified, I may even be able to get them to clear a few roads for you, as for the college I should be able to clean up the mess there but I can't promise anything regarding the dean, she was not happy about letting sam back in the last time and now that there are two dead alien robots on her campus I don't think any amount of sweet talk is going to help change her mind". Simmons started accessing different information on his computer looking for the right contact numbers and the names of people who could resolve the current problems. "ok just leave this with me, I'll get things sorted here and "the four of you" be careful tell Bumblebee and his friend not to destroy any more property if they can, good luck" Simmons hung up the phone for a second the once the line was free he started contacting every police department between the college campus and tranquility.

As the two young Autobots raced home the high powered camera on the satellite that had been hijacked by Soundwave focused in on their movements, "soundwave to meagtron, infiltrator has failed to kill target, both infiltrator and barricade have been destroyed by autobot guards, present location of witwicky boy is unknown, information suggests that he is most likely in transit with his guardians to tranquility, but data can not be confirmed at this time, please advise". The com message flew across the solar system and was quickly responded to "megatron to soundwave, continue with the plan as ordered, the boy will go to his family, they are his weakness, order ground units to wait for the arrival of the autobots the boy will not be far behind and tell them they are to kill the boy and his family or offline themselves trying".
