While the first Autobot team was busy in the Amazon Rainforest, a Ground Bridge appeared in the middle of a cold mountain area and stepping out of it was Arcee, Ironhide, Hot Shot, Lori, Lynn and Bobby.
Lori, Bobby and Lynn are all wearing jackets with hoods on with their respected Colors and boots, Lori and Lynn are wearing long black pants to keep their legs warm. "So this is Mount Everest?" Hot Shot asked.
"It can't be any worst than the cold vacuum of space." Lori said.
"Please, I've been to cold places all the time with ice hokey games." Lynn said.
"Let's just find the Energon before the cons do." Arcee said. "Where to Ironhide?"
"Looks like we need to climb that thing." Ironhide said as he held a scanner and pointed ahead.
The others looked forward and saw the rest of Mt Everest, which was pretty high.
"We have to climb all the way up there?" Bobby asked.
"Just a certain amount, not all of it." Ironhide answered.
"Good, because I literally don't have it in me to climb the whole mountain." Lori said.
"This is a lot different from rock climbing." Lynn said.
"Just stick close with us and don't slip on the walls." Hot Shot said.
"Good advice to take." Lynn mumbled as she began to climb the wall.
"I just hope we don't run into any yetis here." Bobby said,
"Those are literally stories, boo boo bear." Lori replied. "There's no yetis here."
"Let's hope you're right." Ironhide replied as he started climbing after Lynn.
Arcee and Hot Shot grabbed their respective human partners and climbed Mount Everest as well.
Meanwhile in another part of Mount Everest, a second Ground Bridge appeared.
That is when Shockwave, Knock Out, Breakdown and Cyclonus exited the ground bridge. "Couldn't the Energon be located in somewhere warmer?" Knock out whined.
"Megatron assigned us to this section of this planet." Shockwave said. "We need to find the Energon before the Autobots do."
"Why don't I just fly to the Energon and grab it in an instant?" Cyclonus asked. "The Autobots won't have enough time, then."
"In case you didn't know, this place on Earth is known for having big snowstorms." Breakdown replied.
"So much for that." Cyclonus said.
"As much as I appreciate an idea coming out of your mouth besides that annoying cackle. We must proceed on foot." said Shockwave. "Some of our alt modes aren't built for this climate."
"If only we could've gone to a nice little road." Knock Out muttered.
"If Bulkhead here's he's mine." Breakdown said. "Everybody got that?!"
"Yeah we got it." Cyclonus replied.
"Let us proceed." Shockwave said before they began to advance towards the Energon.
At the same time, the Autobots and their human friends managed to reach a smooth area of Mount Everest and they rested on it.
"This is a lot harder than I thought." Hot Shot admitted.
"It'll be over soon Hot Shot." Arcee reassured.
"Yeah and once we find that Energon I'm getting some hot chocolate." Lori said.
"I need a hot bath." Bobby added.
"We getting any closer, Ironhide?" Lynn asked.
Ironhide looked at his scanner. "Halfway there Lynn," Ironhide said.
"Good. I can still use some exercise." Lynn said with an eager smile before she started climbing again.
"Lynn, can you literally wait for us?" Lori asked annoyed.
"Lori's right Lynn you need to wait for the rest of us." Hot Shot said.
"If you guys aren't gonna keep up, then you can just sit back and let me do this." Lynn replied with a scoff.
"Lynn stop this right now!" Ironhide ordered.
"If you don't, I'm telling mom you are the last of our sausages behind her back yesterday!" Lori added.
"You wouldn't dare!" Lynn shouted.
"Try me." Lori said narrowing her eyes.
Eventually, Lynn growled in frustration and climbed back down. "Fine, you guys win." Lynn said in grumpiness.
"Remind you of anybody Ironhide?" Arcee asked.
"Yeah Warpath mostly her impulsive side." Ironhide grumbled.
"Is there any shortcuts to this Energon?" Bobby asked. "I really don't wanna keep climbing."
"Well, we can try using that smooth surface over there in our vehicle modes." Ironhide replied while gesturing to a pathway that was flat enough for wheels.
"That can work." Hot Shot said.
"At least it'll get the Energon faster." Arcee said as she, Hot Shot and Ironhide transformed into their alt modes. Ironhide turned into a black GMC pick up truck and Arcee turned into a blue motorcycle.
"Nice form Arcee." Lori smirked.
"Thanks. Hop on." Arcee said.
Lori gets on Arcee while Bobby and Lynn get into their assigned guardians and drove off. "Finally some heat." Lynn said.
"Sorry you don't get a heater in here, babe." Bobby said to his girlfriend.
"I'll literally manage without one, Bobby" Lori reassured.
"Alright let's get going." Ironhide said as the three Autobots drove off.
They managed to drive up the smooth pathway and the three human companions managed to relax, happy they found an easy way to the Energon. "Well, looks like it's gonna be smooth sailing from here." Lynn said.
"Don't get okay kid. We probably won't be the only ones looking for Energon." Ironhide said.
"Are you talking about those Cons we beat when we woke you Bots up?" Lynn questioned.
"There's more where they came from." Ironhide said. "Some are more deadly than the last."
"Take Shockwave and Barricade for example." Hot Shot added.
"Or even Megatron." Arcee added. "Before the war started he was the gladiator of Kaon."
"A gladiator? Cool." Lynn said with a smile. "I dressed as one on my sixth Halloween."
"Yeah but he got different ideas and started the whole war to begin with. Wanting to return Cybertron to its former glory." Ironhide stated.
"But in the end, he only ended up shutting down our planet's core." Hot Shot said.
"With the core offline, it didn't produce Energon, which is why we had to leave our home." Arcee stated. "He even blames the Autobots for this."
"That's just low. We'll make sure to help you beat that metal jerk and find a way to bring your home back to life, okay?" Lori said.
"Thanks Lori." Arcee replied.
"Is there any other things about Earth we should know?" Hot Shot asked.
"Well, we do have different traditions in different countries." Bobby said.
"How so?" Hot Shot asked.
"Well My family celebrate Day of the dead. It's a holiday where we honor our deceased family members." Bobby explained.
"We really don't have something like that on our world." Ironhide admitted.
"You guys don't have holidays on Cybertron?" Lynn asked.
"No we don't." Arcee replied.
"That sucks." Lynn replied.
"Well now that you're on Earth, you'll literally be able to enjoy our human holidays." Lori said.
"That'll be great Lori." Arcee said.
But on another side of Mount Everest that was lower, the group was being spied on by Shockwave as the other three Decepticons stood behind him.
"It appears the Autobots are here." Shockwave said
"Let's blast them to bits." Cyclonus said gleefully.
"Ill shall leave that to Breakdown." Shockwave replied.
"Good." Breakdown said with a smirk before he transformed into an armored van and aimed a blaster turret at the top of Mount Everest.
Breakdown fired a missile at the top of the mountain, as the mountain began to have snow fall at a fast rate. "What was the point of that?" Knock out asked.
The Autobots, Lori, Lynn and Bobby felt the shaking as well and they looked up to see a lot of snow collapsing to their position.
"Uh, what's that?" Hot Shot asked nervously.
"Avalanche!" Lynn yelled.
"Drive away! Drive away!" Lori stated fearfully.
"Hold on tight!" Arcee shouted as she speeds up along with Hot Shot and Ironhide speed up.
The three Autobots drove straight down the mountain as the avalanche was right behind them.
Bobby looks at Hot Shot's side mirror. "Must go faster! Must go faster!" Bobby said.
"I'm already at maximum speed, Bobby!" Hot Shot retorted.
"There better be a safe zone." said Lynn.
"Our main focus is to avoid being buried!" Ironhide said.
Lori looked around frantically before spotting a nearby cave.
"There! Go into that cave!" Lori stated.
"Alright hang on!" Arcee shouted as she, Ironhide and Hot Shot drove towards the cave right before the snow buried them inside.
"The Autobots have entered their frozen tomb." Shockwave said.
"That makes things easier for us. And I didn't even get snow on my rims." Knock Out said with a satisfied smile.
"You and your rims Knock Out." Cyclonus groaned.
"Let us proceed to the Energon." Shockwave said.
"Lead the way." Breakdown gestured.
Shockwave began advancing up the mountain with Knock Out, Breakdown and Cyclonus in tow.
"We're trapped in this cave." Hot Shot said.
"Ratchet, Wheeljack! Come in?" Ironhide shouted on his com. "Scrap, no answer."
"I can't believe we just got snowed in." Bobby said.
"Well me, Lori and the others got snowed in at the Burpin Burger." Lynn replied.
"How did that avalanche literally start?" Lori asked.
"I have no idea." Hot Shot said. "It just happened."
"I have a feeling that it wasn't a coincidence." Ironhide admitted.
"Decepticons?" Arcee asked.
"Who else wants to kill us?" Hot Shot said.
"It's possible Arcee." Ironhide replied.
"In that case, we've gotta get out of here and kick their metal butts!" Lynn stated.
"They could be waiting for us Lynn." Arcee stated. "It would take us hours to dig out."
"Or we can just blast our way out." Ironhide said before aiming his cannons at the snow in front of them.
"That'll bury us deeper!" Hot Shot exclaimed.
"Hey, there's a back path here." Bobby said as he directed everyone to a darker part of the caver. "It could lead us to an exit."
"It better." Ironhide grumbled as he turned his headlights on.
"There are some things that don't need blasting." Arcee said.
"Optimus is always scolding you about collateral damage, big guy." Hot Shot reminded. "You want to go through they again when we get back to the Ark?"
"No." Ironhide grumbled. "And besides things blow around me!"
"Keep telling yourself that." Hot Shot said.
"Let's get going." Lori said as the group advanced through the cave.
At the top, the Decepticons had come to a halt and Cyclonus looked at the scanner he was holding, which was beginning to beep rapidly.
"I think we're getting close to the Energon!" Cyclonus reported.
"Where is it Cyclonus?" Breakdown asked.
"Looks like it's just a few miles ahead of us." Cyclonus said.
"Excellent. Our mission will be completed." Shockwave replied.
"And the best part is we got rid of those Autobots." Cyclonus smirked.
"They're probably freezing their circuits under all of that snow." Knock Out added.
"Most likely." Breakdown said.
The Autobots, Lori, Lynn and Bobby continued to make their way down the cave. "I really hope we find that exit." Lynn said.
"The sooner we get out of this cave the better." Hot Shot said.
"If I end up passing out by frostbite, make sure Leni doesn't raid my closet for my favourite dresses." Lori said while shivering like crazy.
"Here babe." Bobby approached Lori and hugged her. "I'll keep you warm."
"Aw thanks Boo Boo Bear." Lori replied with a smile.
"Get a room, you two." Lynn said annoyingly.
"It's not that bad." Hot Shot said.
"It'll get annoying real quick trust me." Lynn said.
Just then, Ironhide noticed a small light at the end of the cave. "Hey, is that the way out?" He asked.
"Thank Primus!" Hot Shot said as the teens ran towards the light.
"Kids wait up!" Arcee shouted as she chased after them.
They arrived out the cave and Lori sighed in delight.
"Sweet daylight! We literally made it!" Lori said.
"Finally, we survived those stupid cons' attack!" Lynn cheered.
"We're gonna live!" Bobby stated.
The three Autobots managed to catch up with the teens. "Next time wait for us!" Ironhide glared.
"Sorry, we just enjoy the daylight." Lynn retorted. "Obviously, you three don't feel the same way."
"We just care about your safety. You couldn't never know if the Decepticons were setting up for an ambush." Arcee stated,
"They're not here, so they can't be." Lori said.
"Alright let's get back to finding that Energon." Ironhide said as he took out a device and starting beeping fast. "We're getting close."
"Sweet. We can just grab your fuel and go home." Lynn said with a smile.
"Let's get going!" Hot Shot exclaimed as he transformed into his alt form as Bobby entered the passenger seat. Arcee and Ironhide did the same thing as Lori and Lynn quickly got onto their respective Autobot guardians. They drove off to follow the source of the Energon.
Pretty soon, they arrived at the top of the mountain and didn't encounter any Decepticons.
"No cons. This must be our lucky day." Hot Shot said. Right after he said that, a laser shot was fired in front of them and the three Autobots immediately hit their breaks.
"Thanks for jinxing it!" Lynn shouted.
"Kids get to safety. This is going to get messy." Ironhide said as he prepares his cannons.
"Oh it's going to get messy." The Autobots look up and see Knock Out, Breakdown, Cyclonus and Shockwave.
"No Bulkhead? I came to this frozen wasteland for nothing." Breakdown said.
"Sorry to disappoint you, Breakdown." Ironhide retorted.
"So these must be the humans, I don't remember that other guy." Cyclonus said.
"It would appear the Autobots found another pet for their collection." Shockwave said.
"We're not pets!" Lori shouted.
"And what're you supposed to be?! A robot cyclops?!" Lynn asked insultingly.
"If those are meant to be your last words then so be it." Shockwave said.
"Look how about we split the Energon?" Bobby suggested.
"How about I split you three in half." Knock Out said as he took out his buzzsaw.
"Don't even think about!" Hot Shot stated firmly as he brought out a blaster. "I don't know why you bothered to come out here, Knock Out! You're supposed to be a doctor!"
"I may have that status in the Decepticons, but I'm better at dissection than medication." Knock Out answered.
"Let's blast these bots to bits." Cyclonus said as he opened fire on the Autobots.
Arcee quickly rolled out of the way and fired her blasters at Cyclonus, who blocked them with his arms and returned fire.
"How do you expect to beat me, Auto-loser?" Breakdown asked tauntingly as he shifted his hand into a sledgehammer and approached Ironhide.
"For starters, I've got this!" Ironhide answered before bringing out a large rifle from his back.
Ironhide shot a missile at Breakdown hitting him in the chest. Hot Shot is shooting at Knock Out while he takes cover behind some rocks. "Come on Knock Out afraid I'll ruin your paint job?!" Hot Shot taunted.
"Don't make me mad, Autobot! You'll only make things worse for yourself!" Knock Out replied threateningly before he shifted his other hand into a large drill and charged at Hot Shot with it.
Hot Shot dodged the attack and shot Knock Out in the back. Arcee is shooting at Cyclonus while taking covering at the same time. "Come on Acree. Come out of hiding!" Cyclonus taunted. "I will to snuff out your spark!"
"Not if I can help it!" Ironhide shouted before firing both his cannons at Cyclonus.
Cyclonus gets hit by the shots and he groans. But Breakdown smacks Ironhide with his hammer fist knocking him to the ground. Ironhide aims his cannons at Breakdown and shoots him down.
While the others were distracted, Shockwave walked away and approached a nearby big hole in the snow to see a bunch of Energon in it. "There it is." Shockwave said.
"There's enough Energon to keep the Decepticon army up and running for cycles." Shockwave stated.
But then, a snowball was thrown into Shockwave's head and he turned around to see it was Lynn who threw it. "You're not getting out of this fight, you one-eyed freak!" Lynn shouted.
"You think you're threatening me with this matter on the ground?" Shockwave said. "I think I can see who is the most illogical one in the group is."
Before he could fire his laser at Lynn, Ironhide suddenly bashed Shockwave from the side and made him crash against a snow covered boulder.
"Didn't see that coming Shockwave?" Ironhide smirked.
"Nice one, Ironhide." Lynn complemented.
"You're a fearless kid, Lynn. I like that." Ironhide replied.
"Fearless is another word for foolish." Shockwave replied as he gets back up.
"Do you think you could take from here, pal?" Lynn asked.
"Stubbornness will be your downfall." Shockwave replied
"We'll see, Shockwave." Ironhide replied as he charged at the one-eyed Decepticon.
Shockwave dodged Ironhide and shot him oth his cannon, follow by a roundhouse kick. "Predictable Ironhide." Shockwave said
When Ironhide stood up, he noticed Breakdown rushing up to him from behind with his hammer raised up before smirking.
"See if you think this is predicable!" Ironhide stated before he ducked down.
Ironhide then gives Breakdown an uppercut to the face and smacks Breakdown with a right hook. He then tossed Breakdown towards Shockwave, causing both of them to crash into each other.
"That Energon is ours Shockwave!" Ironhide stated. "Just get up and leave while you have the chance!" Hot Shot stated as he punched Knock Out in thr face,
"I'd like you to do that!" Bobby added with a nervous grin.
"Boo Boo Bear, we shouldn't get involved!" Lori said.
"Yeah you shouldn't Boo Boo Bear!" Cyclonus said as he aimed his blasters at Arcee.
Arcee transfofmed and avoided all of Cyclonus' shots before she transformed again and struck him with a pair of wrist blades.
"Only Lori can call Bobby that." Arcee said.
"This is your last warning. Leave." Ironhide ordered.
"If we cannot have the Energon. Then neither can you." Shockwave said.
He aimed his blaster at the Energon and fired at it, hitting one of the crystals and causing it to shake at a fast rate.
"Oh scrap!" Hot Shot shouted.
Then a green swirling portal opens up for the Decepticons. "Farewell Autobots." Shockwave said as he and the Decepticons go through the portal.
"Uh, what's happening with the Energon?!" Lori asked fearfully.
"It's gonna blow!" Ironhide said.
"Run!" Arcee said.
The Autobots, Lori, Lynn, and Bobby run away from the energon right before it explodes.
They all took cover behind a boulder and braced themselves in case the explosion hit them. When it was over, the group walked out of their cover and approached the crater to see the Energon destroyed.
"Dang it. Looks like this mission's a failure." Lynn said with a sigh.
"As long you kids are safe, that's all that matters." Arcee said.
"But what about you guys? You need that Energon." Bobby said.
"Hopefully, the others had better luck than we did." Hot Shot said.
"But if I know Megatron he'll be angry at Shockwave coming back empty handed." Ironhide said.
"I guess that's literally a good thing." Lori said with a smile. "Shall we all go back to the Ark, then?"
"Sure. I'll give Ratchet a call." Arcee replied.
"You know, I'm glad to be going home." Lynn admitted. "All this cold is starting to freeze the blood in my feet."
"I'm sure you'll be able to reheat them in these human baths you keep talking about." Ironhide said.
"True." Lynn chuckled.
