It was Early in the morning and Optimus was working hard on finding the coordinates to the Omega keys.

Everyone else was in a corner of the room, talking."So, where do you think the next relic will be?" Grimlock asked the others.

"I don't know, but hopefully we get to it first." Said Bulkhead

"Autobots, the coordinates have been decoded. Ratchet- ready the ground bridge." Optimus ordered.

"Let's do this!" Smokescreen was pumped.

"Grimlock, Arcee- roll out."

"Wait, what about me!?"

"Remain here with Bulkhead.

"Looks like you get to miss out on this one rookie." Said Grimlock with a grin as he pats him on the back a bit to hard. He sends him down to ground." Oops. Sorry."He said

"Oof!" Smokescreen groaned in pain, laying on the floor.

Optimus opened up the groundbridge for Arcee and Grimlock.

"Ready Arcee?" Asked Grimlock as he starts walking into the groundbridge.

"Ready as ever." She followed him into the groundbridge, finding their way into this weird dig sight. "There it is."

"Hello, there." Knockout stepped out. "I was wondering when you'd show up."

"You shouldn't have came alone knockout. This will be to easy." Said Grimlovk with a grin as he smashes his fists together.

Breakdown stepped out as well." Who said he was alone?" He asked with his hammer out.

"I'll grab the key." Arcee was speeding through but was sent back with a powerful burst of bass boosted.

"Arcee!" Grimlock starts running to her, but was sucker punched by Breakdown.

"It's me and you Dinobot." He said as he swings his hammer at Grimlock...who catches it." Scrap..."

Grimlock starts doing what he did to Starscream when he had the apex armor.

Arcee was keeping Knockout distracted. She then saw how Grimlock had Breakdown dealt with. "Grimlock- grab the key!"

"Scrap..." Knockout watched as both boys went after the key but had an idea. "How low can you go?"

He points the tool at the ground and sends a powerful bass blast. Aka,He Mario 64 Bowsered them.

Grimlock falls down." Wasn't expecting that." He said as he gets up. He then was about to run to the key, but then felt someone grab his leg, he looks down and sees Breakdown grabbing onto his leg." What are you doing?" He said

Breakdown looks at him with a smile." Stalling you..."

Grimlock turns and looks at where the key was supposed to be. But it was gone, along with Knockout. He then looks back at the ground and sees Breakdown gone as well. He looks around sees him limping away to a groundbridge. It closes behind him." Scrap." He said

Arcee sighed, looking down. "It was right there... let's just go back to base."

Later Back at base...

"We weren't able to retrieve it... Knockout and Breakdown ambushed us."

"Although we have reached a stalemate- it is vital we retrieve the two other keys." Optimus explained as he goes to work on getting the second coordinates.

"If only I was there, I could hav-" Smokescreen was interrupted by Grimlock.

"Done what? Get the key? I kinda doubt that kid. You would have gotten hurt." Said Grimlock as he leans against the wall.

"The next coordinates are ready." Optimus announced.

"Leaving only one last set to decode." Ratchet opened up the groundbridge.

Bulkhead and Smokescreen were ready to leave.

"Good luck out there. Oh and bulkhead, make sure he doesn't do anything to stupid." Said Grimlock with a grin.

"I'll try not to."

Grimlock looks at arcee." Think they will get the key?"

"I can only hope..."

Later...

Bulkhead and Smokescreen have returned to base- having failed the mission.

"It's alright kid. We all sometimes lose and get knocked down. But you always gotta get back up. Like I do in a fight against a bunch of Insecticons." He said with a grin.

"Unlike you, Grimlock, I'm not a dinobot who can take everything thrown at him. I have to be at the top of my game and I can't afford to slack off." He transformed and drove off.

Grimlock sighs and then turns to arcee." I think He's gonna hurt himself and do something stupid."

Later...

"The final entry has been decoded." It was a picture of Smokescreen.

"What...?" Bulkhead was confused ._.

"Uh, does he turn into the key?" Asked Grimlock as he looks at the picture with confusion.

"Smokescreen may be the key without knowing it." Ratchet pondered.

"Whatever the case- he may be in grave danger... Autobots, We must find him as quickly as possible."

Ratchet gets to work and immediately gets his location. He then opens the groundbridge to his location.

Later..

They arrived but they were to late."Scrap." Said Grimlock as he sighs. The rookie is gone, and so is the final relic.

Later...

"Smokescreen's signal... it's back online!" Ratchet exclaimed.

"The kid escaped the warship!" Bulkhead punched the air.

"Smokescreen to base! I could really use a groundbridge!" He shouted through the comms. "OH GOD MEGATRON IS THROWING VEHICONS AT ME- HELP!!!"

"Uh, I think He's falling off the ship." Said grimlock as he noticed his signal is going down on the computer.

Ratchet tries to open a groundbridge in the air, which is very difficult. He tries a few times...But fails.

Smokescreen's signal hit the ground.

"No..."

"He's gone..."

Grimlock sighs." I Can't believe the rookie is gone..."

"I'm alive guys and I've got the keys."

Everyone is happy to hear that he is alive.

Later...

"So we only have three keys? Where's the fourth at?" Asked Grimlock who stares at the Keys

Ratchet turned to the monitors. "High frequency signal... with an embedded message."

"Starscream..." Bulkhead sighed.

"He might have the last Omega Key."

"What does he want in return?" Asked Grimlock as he looks at ratchet.

"His T-cog." Ratchet explained.

"Ha, as if we're going to give back his wings."

"If we make the trade, we have the means to bring back Cybertron. It is well worth it."

"Well I say we do it. But after that, I get to punch him." Grimlock said with a grin.

They opened up the groundbridge and a gust of wind passed by them...

Something isn't right.

A few seconds later Starscream was seen with the all the Omega Keys in his arms. "The red energon wore off- didn't it...?"

Grimlock nods." Yep." He then transforms and roars at Starscream.

He screamed like a little girl before running off into a groundbridge, escaping with the keys.

"AHHHHHH" Optimus yelled loudly in anger and then blasted a tree.

"That high healed Coward tricked us!" Said Grimlock in anger. They have just lost all there keys, and now the fate of all is in the hands of Starscream...
