The Ark had crashed into a mountain in the middle of a rocky area. All of the autobots were knocked out. Ironhide was the first one to awake. He had coated his body in a near-indestructible alloy. Ironhide grabbed his head.

Ironhide: "Ah, my cranial chamber. This is going to be hurting for a while." Ironhide looked around the Ark at everyone else. He saw Prime's body.

Ironhide: "Optimus!" Ironhide ran over to Optimus's body, he was kocked out but not badly damaged.

Ironhide: "Don't worry Optimus Ratchet is going to fix you right up, he's going to fix everyone."

Ironhide looked around the ship for Ratchet, he found him in a corner of the Ark. He didn't look too damaged. Ironhide tried to wake him.

Ironhide: " Wake up Ratchet you old coot." Inrohide shook Ratchet's body. Eventually Ratchet woke up.

Meanwhile the Decepticon ship landed 200 miles away from the autobots in the sea. Cliffjumper slowly awoke. The first thing he saw was Grindor's leg.

Cliffjumper: "You're a big con." Cliffjumper tried to reach for his blaster, but the canon was nowhere near him. Grindor spoke old cybertronian, Clliffjumper couldn't understand him. Grindor picked up Clffjumper by the neck.

Skywarp: "Wait Grindor don't kill him, we can use him as a hostage."

Cliffjumper:" That'll never work slag, I'll sacrifice myself before becoming a hostage!."

Skywarp: "So courageous, and stupid... Grindor."

Grindor slammed Cliffjumper to the ground, knocking him out.

Barricade and Knockout were staring at Megatron's unconscious body.

Knockout: "The crash only worsened his condition: I can fix him but it's going to take a long time."

Starscream: "Are we sure fixing him is the greatest idea?"

All the Decepticons stared at Starscream. They all knew Starscream was a treacherous snake but he was always secretive about it, but slowly over his treacherous ways had grown, now they are at its peak.

Starscream: "Think about it Megatron has led us stranded on this planet and he was defeated by Optimus right in front of our eyes! He's getting old, we should just let him rest."

Soundwave: "No. Megatron is the leader of the Decepticons. I refuse to let him die."

Starscream: "Ahh, very well until Megatron's fully recovered I will take over as leader of the Decepticons!"

Skywarp looked at Starscream suspiciously, "he's definitely going to try to kill Megatron when we're recharging."

Thundercracker: "We should scout the planet and see our surroundings. Skywarp want to come with me?"

Skywarp: "Good idea Thundercracker let's go."

Starscream: "Who gave you permission to leave the base!?"

Skywarp: "What would you have us do "lord" Starscream?"

Starscream: "Scout the area but only under my command don't do things without my orders!"

Skywarp: "Let's go Thundercracker."

Skywarp and Thudnercracker left the underwater spaceship and headed to land in their cybertronian jet forms. As they were flying, they got to take a look at Earth for the first time.

Skywarp:" This planet looks primitive; I don't see any signs of life."

Thundercracker: "Let's keep flying further."

Meanwhile back at the Ark Ratchet and Ironhide had awoken all the autobots.

Optimus Prime: "Wheeljack, how is the ship looking?"

Wheeljack: "Not good Optimus, it's going to take me a while to fix this ship and that's even if i found the materials I need to fi-"

Bumblebee interrupted Wheeljack. "You're worried about the ship?! Cliffjumper was on the Decepticon ship, we have to go rescue him!"

Optimus: "I understand your feelings Bumblebee but we don't know where the decepticons landed, even if we did rushing in without a plan would be fatal."

Bumblebee: "I don't care Cilffjumper's my best friend I'm going to find him!"

Prowl: "Bee don't go he's probably already dead he wasn't on any regular decepticon ship he was on a decepticon ship with Megatron."

Bumblebee: "You may not have any friends Prowl so you can't understand what I'm feeling but I'm not going to stay here."

Bee transformed into his cybertronian car mode and headed for the exit.

Arcee: "Bee wait! Don't worry Optimus, I'll bring him back!"

Arcee transformed into her cybertronian car mode and followed bee.

Bee and Arcee made it outside of the Ark.

Arcee: "Bee wait, slow down we have to talk this over going on a suicide mission isn't going to do Cliffjumper any good. You don't even know where you're going!"

Bumblebee knew Arcee was right, but he didn't care driving around in his car mode was helping him blow off steam, he was mad at Cliffjumper for being so reckless. Bee kept on driving with Arcee following behind him, they were both silent. Thirty minutes later Bee and Arcee saw something in the sky. Two cybetronian jets!

Bumblebee: Seekers! We must be close to the decepticon base!"

Arcee: "Bee let's head back to base, don't be stupid."

Meanwhile in the sky Skywarp and Thundercracker spotted two cybertronian vehicles.

Skywarp: "Autobots. Probably looking for their friend. They're about to be joining him soon. Come on Thundercracker!"

Skywapr and Tundercracekr flew down where the Autobots were while shooting lasers. Bumblebee and Arcee dodged the lasers.

Arcee: "Scrap! Bee I hope you realize this is your fault."

Bumblebee: "Don't worry by the end of this we'll be one step closer to Cliffjumper."

Arcee: "In one way or another."
