"I haven't been on a mission in forever, thanks for taking me with" Mirage said as he followed his four older sibblings through Iacon ruins.
"No problem lil bro, we need the extra firepower anyway, cons are getting more ruthless" Jazz replied to the red mech.
"Yeah why's that?" Mirage asked jumping climbing over large rubble the others jumped over.
"That's what we need to figure out" Arcee said pulling Mirage up and over the rubble.
"So we are finding a way to get imformation" Sideswipe said as they continued through broken buildings and rubble from broken highways.
"And to find that we're going to have to go to Kaon" Sunstreaker added as they all stopped and stood on a broken building overlooking dark fiery Kaon city.
"That looks like fun" Mirage gave a nervous laugh keeping his gaze on the evil city.
"Haven't you been out this way Mirage?" Sideswipe asked turning his attention to the nervous spy.
"No" Mirage shook his helm.
"Mirage has only started missions, he's only been assigned close to home because he just started" Arcee reminded the three mechs.
"Riiight, well that's alright, you'll do fine, if not better" Sideswipe said placing an arm on Mirage's shoulders.
"Yeah come on lets go before we are spotted" Jazz said waving the four bots to come with him.
"Yeah no arguments there Jazz, we're coming" The twins called as they ran with Mirage and Arcee to catch Jazz.
"So what building is our target?" Mirage asked, anxiously wanting to explore the new suroundings.
"The center of Kaon, that one building that stands untouched, that will be were all the good stuff is" Sideswipe replied with a small amused laugh.
"It's heavily guarded, so we are going to have to be smart about this" Arcee said as they approached a large pile of rubble next to the building.
"Turns your signals off so we don't get detected" Mirage told the others a wise tip, and all four did so.
"Good, now what bout getting in there?" Jazz asked looking at the others.
"We can sneak in through that hole in the building, my scans say no one will detect us through there with our signals off" Mirage pointed over to a hole at the bottum of the building.
All five moved quickly and swiftly through the hole and into the building into an empty dark room, the only light that came in the room was the five pairs of glowing optics, and a door slightly opened.
"Mirage Sideswipe you wanna peek through the door and check out what's going on, it should be the main room we would walk into if we entered from the front" Jazz told the two bots closet to the door.
"Yep" both nodded and took a peek out the door to see a few eradicon guards guarding the inside two guarding a stair case another pair guarding the enterance and two more walking into the middle of the room to meet with a mech that walked through the doors.
Sideswipe and Mirage both quickly drew their attention to the mech who entered the building, the mech was no other but the Decepticon leaders chief inteligance officer, Soundwave.
"Uh oh!" Sideswipe threw his helm back in shock and nervousness catching the others attention as Mirage did not flinch.
"What is it Sideswipe?" Arcee asked excitedly, wondering what the nervous look was for.
"...guess who just entered..." Sideswipe nervously laughed.
"Who Sideswipe I hate these stupid guessing games!" Arcee started to get impatient along with Jazz and his twin.
"Starts with an S and ends with wave" Sideswipe gave the three a hint, as he kept a close optic on Mirage's body language.
"No, you're joking right?" Arcee sighed hoping the twin was lying about their youngest members brother entering.
"No"
"Well he mest be in to help colect data, he comes here often" Jazz told the twins and Arcee.
"We have to continue, where ever Soundwave goes we have to, he knows where the imprtant stuff is, and that's what we're after" Sunstreaker mentioned.
"He went up the stairs that are being guarded, I suggest we take all guards out silently and quickly" Mirage finally turned his attention to the others.
"What'd you have in mind Mirage?" Arcee was wanting to hear what the new spys plan was for handling such a situation.
"There are six of them, I'll be back in a moment" Mirage said vanishing, and slipping through the bearly open door.
"He better not get caught, if he does we're screwed" Sunstreaker complained watching through the door crack.
"Shut up Sunny, lets just see how this goes" Sideswipe gave a low growl, shutting up his twin.
Mirage was smart and stealthy, he chose to eliminate the ones guarding the stairs first they were in the back and not in the sights of the others, he made sure distracted the middle ones by making a slight noise getting them to turn away from the ones guarding the door, and waited for them to head to the stairs, then quickly ended them, Mirage had only a few more moments of invisibility, and quickly made his way across to the enterance and took the guards out with one swift sword slice.
"Great job Mirage, now lets catch that imformation" Sideswipe praised as they ran up the stairs taking out the guards silently, until they came upon an open room where at least ten eradicons were working on monitors, Soundwave stood in the middle of the room and observed.
"This is going to be more difficult..." Arcee sighed turning to the others in their small team.
"So what do we do, go in there guns a blazing or what?" Sunstreaker asked, eagerly wanting to tear each con apart.
"No, I want to send Mirage in, to take out the controls to the lighting, that should make fighting for them a little more complicated, and give us more cover" Arcee told the four mechs the plan.
"Ok just be careful buddy" Sunstreaker said worridly as Mirage nodded and vaniahed entering the room.
It didn't take long for the lights to flicker off, Mirage killed the eradicon near the controls to prevent reactivation, Soundwave turned and saw the body drop, and that's were the others struck taking out the eradicons in the room, Mirage did the same, taking out the remaining eradicons.
Soundwave saw the eradicons swarming the four Autobots, and still saw bodies dropping, Soundwave quickly switched his vision and and caught the small frame of another Autobot, Soundwave swung his tenticals out and violently grabbed the mech, and held him tightly in the air, squeezing his victim forcing the mechs invisibility to malfuntion and wear off, revieling the young red spy.
The eradicons quickly reacted to thwir superior officers move and surrounded the intelligence officer making a protective wall, keeping the autobot intruders at gunpoint.
"Soundwave let Mirage go!" Arcee demanded, quickly aiming her gun at the facless mech while the others aimed at the eradicons.
Soundwave looked at the femme, then turned his attention back to his struggling younger brother in his grasp, Soundwave didn't know what he was doing, he couldn't let Mirage just go infront of the eradicon soldiers.
"Soundwave!" Arcee hissed the decepticons name threatiningly and charged her gun, the eradicons disn't hesitate to charge their weapons either, but that only resulted with the twins and Jazz putting them at gunpoint.
"Arcee no, don't hurt him!" Mirage cried out as he continued to try and wriggle his way free.
"Mirage quiet!" Arcee ordered keeping her gaze fixed on Soundwave.
Soundwave hesitantly nodded, but slowly started to lower Mirage back to the ground.
"Soundwave stop!" Megatron's gruff voice came from behind them all.
"Mirage I've seen you've grown into a strong youngling nearing adulthood" Megatron spoke to the spy as he walked in with more reinforcements outnumbering the autobots.
Mirage did not answer but shot the warlord a greatly aggravated look, as he continued to struggle in his brothers grasp.
"I know you speak youngling, you were taught to answer when your master speaks to you!" Megatron hissed angirly, making Mirage wince.
"You are not my master, therfore I do not have to answer to someone as low as houself!" Mirage spat at the towering mech, only adding more fuel to the fire.
"You are to join my forces as originally planned youngling!" Megatron roared making Mirage cower as much as he could.
"I live with the autobots, and am proud to be one!" Mirage continued to fight, as the others continued to switch their targets.
"Living with them, you are treated like a no good traitor, with us you would be treated right!" Megatron insisted.
"I know I'm no traitor, if I joined your petty ranks, I would just be living up to my traitor title!" Mirage said having enough of this, what strength he could muster and dug his blades into Soundwave's tecticals, drawing blood, and causing his brother to release him.
Mirage jumped through the window, and dropped down the side of the building, digging his blades into the wall to slow him down, as he landed on his peds, The others took and used the distraction taking out a few eradicons, they followed out the window and ran landing down below with Mirage, and taking off quickly speeding away.
"Ugh, I go get that youngling!" Megatron screamed at his decepticon seekers that all jumped out and flew after the escaping autobots.
Soundwave looked at the window and turned noticing Megatron was giving him a furious loook.
"If your brother can faze you, he will surely do good in my ranks" Megatron hissed at Soundwave.
