Alarms blazed and echoed throughout the room, an enlarged screen flashing red alarmingly. Of course, every time this happened, it was always some sort of emergency or a distress signal. Frankly, this time it was both.
"What is the situation?" Optima asked whilst running into the room as soon as she was informed of the issue. Before anyone could respond back, a set of symbols appeared on the screen, all in a completely different language although it was definitely earth based.
It didn't take too long to translate the foreign language, which they soon realised was Japanese, however the message hidden within the symbols was enough to have the room go into silence, Optima being effected the most.
'SOS. Captured by Megatron. Send help.'
The message wasn't what startled the femme leader, but it was from the fact that it was sent by none other than the girl who she had only recently brought into the family. The message came from Mia…
"No… What have I done?" Optima muttered under her breath, unable to believe that her own little baby girl had finally met her match. The worst she thought that would happen was death, followed closely behind by torture. Either way, every scenario began to play in her mind on what could have happened, every one becoming worse than the last.
"Don't worry, we will get her back…" Said Percy in order to comfort the worrying femme.
"If she's still alive that is…" Sideswipe added on. Known to many of the Autobots that been around him for a long period of time, they could easily state that he was the type that was unconsciously yet brutally honest. Sure, he always pulled a prank here and there but when the situation seemed bad, he looked it in a way that was realistic.
Sunstreaker came up behind the mech and whacked him at the back of his helm as if he was sure that it would drive some common sense into his processor.
"Ow!" Yelped Sideswipe as he rubbed the area that was physically attacked by his twin, who gave an intense glare as if telling him through eye contact to watch what he was saying. From the both of them, Sunstreaker tended to be the softer of the two, however only at extreme exceptions since anyone who happened to scratch his paintjob or ruined his paintings was simply looking to receive quite the punishment.
"I'm only just stating the facts, geez…" He muttered in a rather defeated fashion which brought a smile to the mother's faceplate. However, anyone could tell that it was slightly forced. After all, she wouldn't have the ability to return to her happy, joyous self until she knew that Mia was safe.
However, not only storming the base for a rescue mission was going to be challenging but also the fact that they had to locate it firstly. With Soundwave reprogramming security measures so that the Decepticon base remained under radar and scrambled any communication link of unidentified communication leading to the outside world, it would take time and patience until they could get a location, to which the team immediately worked on.
Upon finding her nerves to speak after receiving the shocking news, she turned to the twins. That innocent look that she always carried was gone. Instead, she gave one that sent shivers down the mech's spinal struts. "Sideswipe, Sunstreaker…"
Sideswipe hid behind his brother as if using him as a shield.
"If you are mad about what I said before, I'm sorry!"
Optima advanced them slowly, causing the two to flinch, as if they knew that although the femme leader was quite merciful, she did have quite the punch on her. They knew what she was capable of and frankly, they preferred to stay out of the room if the pissed off femme nearby.
"Prepare the Autobots for battle… I will call up my sister. We are going on a hunt…" She stated in a quiet tone. Although her voice was soothing even if she was angry, her reputation was enough to speak for itself. The red and yellow twins without hesitation, quickly nodded before attempting to scatter outside the room. At first, they crashed into each other whilst turning and then proceeded to hilariously trip over their pedes whilst attempting to dash out of the room to do what they had just been commanded with doing a few seconds ago.
"Heh, you certainly got 'em running with their tailpipes between their legs…" Said Jazz who had witnessed the entire thing happening, as well as giving a sort of humorous expression. After all, being as fun loving as they were, many members of the team enjoyed seeing the two pranksters get what they deserve.
Optima looked at the laid back mech and sighed, the friendliness returning in her expression for just a mere moment. "They are good soldiers; we can't lie about that…" Optima responded back before taking her leave to get into communication with Megatrona, the femme alter ego of the Decepticon warlord.
Just as Megatrona received the call, she had just mercilessly killed one of the criminals that had been captured by decapitating his head. Just like the human race, a baby Cybertronian was a thing; a sparkling it was called. There was those out there who wished to do nothing but harm to those who were harmless. After all, that was the way in order to regain peace in the universe, as well as the two factions.
As well as the powerful femme's servos, the floor was drenched in the dead criminals energon, the body laying limp with his helm just a few feet away from the original body as well as his servos still cuffed together in order to make the job simple and quick, even if the guilty attempted to struggle.
With accepting the call, she stuck to her regular professional tone.
"Yes?"
Just like Optima, she had a reputation to keep at, although it was a more violent in its nature rather than justice and equality which was Optima's primary motives.
"I have a job that you may enjoy doing… But you will need to prepare your Decepticon armada." Optima stated as the Decepticon femme listened in, a glimpse of confusion evident in her crimson red optics. She knew that tone well and there must have been a good reason behind it so she decided to not question it.
"Very well. I will meet you at the meeting point." She stated before hanging up and turning to the crowd of Decepticons that scurried up to their queen. She had to be strong as she knew the upcoming battle was going to be long and hard.
"Decepticons, prepare yourself for battle!"
