Chapter 1: Wreck N Rule!

Story summary: During the time of the Wrecker's arrival, they have been enlisted into a secret organization led by their new liaison, Agent O'Neal. They, however, are unaware of the threats gathering on this world, it isn't just the Decepticons anymore.

Location: Middle of the Sahara Desert, Northern Africa

The Sahara Desert, known as the largest desert in the world spans over a total of ten countries in North Africa. It went on for millions of square miles or kilometers depending on who or where you ask how big it is, it is known as one of the deadliest deserts in the world for its climate and wildlife of dangerous animals such as snakes and scorpions as the primary apex predators. Odds of survival for that unprepared or naive survivalist who tries to make it in this landscape are astronomically low. Despite all this, the landscape is known for its desert sand dunes and the history of the land.

The reason we're here was for one reason, a fight between Decepticons and Autobots most passively the Autobot Subgroup known as the Wreckers. A total of eight, or eight and a half if you count the two who are conjoined twins. These Autobots, the Wreckers were on a mission, the Decepticons started a mining operation set up for their main source of fuel and substance for their kind, Energon, an element that surprisingly grows either on or within the planet, no one knows why but theories have been discussed.

The operation was underground, inside of a large hole in the ground with dozens of Vehicons of different types from ground troops and worker modules that had drills and pickaxes for mining but could still fight. They were originally doing just that working before running into a serious issue, which being the Wreckers. Waves of lasers were going all over the place, so many Vehicons were around as the fighting was everywhere with the Wreckers in various groups.

The leader of the Wreckers, Impactor, was holding Vehicon with his harpoon prosthetic hand; it was stabbed through its back, blocking blaster fire. Beside him was the heavy weapons expert, Roadbuster, and craziest flier you'll ever meet, Whirl both using piles of rocks as cover Both at his side as they returned fire upon a group of Vehicons.

"You know when I thought of something exciting to do, I was expecting us to fight a Decepticon like Shockwave, not do a basic larceny of Energon fresh from a Decepticon mine from drones." Whirl said, sounding rather disappointed as he blasted the head off of a charging Vehicon.

"At least we're outside that Fraggin' base, I felt like I was locked up in prison again before the war," Roadbuster said to his comrades, he felt something hit his side and turned around to see a Vehicon with a pickaxe that hit his side. Roadbuster grabbed the pickaxe out of their hand and stabbed its head with the pick, it didn't fall over but just started to walk backwards. Roadbuster just shrugged them off and went back to firing his weapon. "I'll take some grunt drones over being stuck in a small room underground."

"A mission is a mission, Optimus wanted us for this since he and the others are fanned out, plus we get 10% of the Energon for our reserves," Impactor explained to his two allies, the Vehicon he was using as a shield started to fall apart so he tossed it aside before taking cover with behind some rocks alongside Whirl, he then holstered his weapon to call his other Wreckers. "Broadside, have you reached the reserves?"

Deeper in the underground mine, the largest member doubling as both the triple changer of the group with alt modes that turned against him, Broadside was currently using a large rifle and ax he swung around in a large group of Vehicons cutting through half a dozen in a swift movement and fired heave rounds into others. He wasn't alone as with him was the congruent Autobot twins, expert pilot, and close-quarter combat experts Rack'n'Ruin swinging two maces that spun by the ends of their handles around. As they swung the hammers around the heads started to glow before they flung out beams of energy that slightly explode upon contact in a Vehicons face.

"You two got the Vehicons?" Broadside asked the twins, giving a thumbs up before going back to fighting. "Broadside here. We've reached their reserves for where they're keeping the Energon, they have them on lockdown but just give me a-" Broadside paused as he felt something, looking down he sees a Vehicon miner missing their legs and stabbing the Wrecker's leg lifting his foot, placing it over the Decepticon's head, then stomp on them flattening their head. "Sorry about that. Just give me a few minutes and the Energon is ours." Broadside said hanging up to return to the fight, swinging his axe down, cutting a Vehicon vertically in half.

"These guys won't let up huh?" Rack asked with Ruin nodding. "Yeah, how do you think they have so many of these guys anyway? Don't they need materials and stuff?"

"Mass production and recycling," Broadside explained walking forward and seeing a tank with a large drill that was spinning, looking up he fired a shot with his rifle hitting a few stalagmites that fell from the ceiling with some of the stalagmites landed, and stabbing into some of the controls that exploded stopping the drill. "They return their destroyed Vehicons and reuse them, that is what Wheeljack told me anyway."

"Huh, that explains why these guys always many of these guys have so," Rack replied with a chainsaw sticking out of his leg and slashed another Vehicon. "Shouldn't we also hurry up, they may be dumb, but they could contact for reinforcements?"

"I wouldn't worry about it." Broadside replied to the twins.

"Ironfist, report on your task, how are the enemies' systems?" Impactor called over their comms with the weapons expert, inventor, and biggest fanboy of the Wreckers, Ironfist was working on a terminal on a purple platform, when a Vehicon walked onto the platform they were gunned down by Ironfist's mandible torrent sentry gun that automatically shout any threat nearby. Close to him was the sniper of the group Alpha Bravo who was close to the end of the platform firing a few shots at anything that moved in his view.

"One point for you." Alpha Bravo called out, then fired one shot from a rifle he had, hitting one Vehicon in the head which bounced off hitting on in the back going through it, nearly missing the side of two Vehicons but hitting something on the side of one of them, exploding and taking out the two. "And that is four for me. What makes that? 11-to-9?"

"One-second Impactor." Ironfist answered his leader's call before turning to his peer. "Sorry Alpha Bravo, I was taking this seriously. I didn't know we were playing a game of hit points…" Ironfist then turned around and fired from a pistol-looking weapon firing a large cylinder object that separated into six small missiles that went flying each one flying towards a group of six vehicons, each missile hitting the heads of each of them and destroying them. "If I knew I would have tried. That is six points for me, 15-to-11."

"Heh, show off, you and Slingshot would have gotten along. We Aerialbots do this all the time." Alpha Bravo said, chuckling before swapping out for another weapon that looked too bulky with two chain machine gun barrels on the ends of them, turning and firing at three Vehicons that tried to sneak up and attack them from behind. "Three points, dang it needs two more."

"Ironfist, report!"

"Oh!" Ironfist then answered his own comms, he would be red in the face if he could as it was embarrassing. "R-Right sorry Impactor! I managed to cut off any form of communication on their ends and managed to get the location of another Decepticon Energon depo somewhere in a place called "New Mexico" Huh, what happened to the old one? Over and-"

"Great work kid, keep it up, I'll check on Kup and the newbies, over and out." Impactor replied as he cut off his call.

"Right," Ironfist said before face-palming himself, he just replied to a line that just ended, he felt like a nervous fan. He then raised another pistol and fired a projectile that moved in the air, zipping around before finding a place landing on a Vehicon that was hiding behind some rocks along with two more. Suddenly Ironfist's sentry made a buzzing sound before firing a single red laser that didn't go straight but changed course and hit the small group taking them out with an explosion. "Three more points for me. That makes it 18-to-14, right?" They stopped for a second before suddenly feeling the area around them start to shake, hearing an explosion close by only it wasn't natural. "Uh oh."

"That was the Tank wasn't it." Alpha Bravo asked with Ironfist only silently agreeing that it was indeed who they thought it was. "Why did we agree to take that thing anyway?"

"I think Impactor wanted to see what they could do in- AH!" Ironfist was interrupted as he took a shot to the arm, a lone Vehicon managed to get the jump on them, but they were gunned down by Alpha Bravo who landed a clean shot that knocked the Con's head off. "Thanks, last I checked, this means I lost a point, right?"

"Yeah, sorry by the way… 17-to-15."

Near the entrance to the underground mine, the side of a mountain, several Vehicons made it outside only for some to either be filled with holes from the gunfire of two particular Bots or ripped apart by something that could only be described as a raging beast made of metal wearing parts of a tank as armor, such as one of the newer members of the Wreckers, the former Decepticon super Vehicon soldier, Tankor, who picked up a Vehicon off the ground and ripped them in half followed with a blast from their tank cannon mounted on their shoulder. "Tankor Pulverize!" Tankor cried out with sawblades coming from his wrist and slashed them some in half even when they were already taken down.

Close to him were both senior and temporary members of the Wreckers the elderly Autobot with a thousand stories to tell, Kup firing with his rifle easily landing every shot never missing one, and Autobot trying out being a Wrecker Hot Rod, using his pipes on his arms to burn any Vehicon close by. "Geez, what did I do to get you to babysit the two of you two." Kup said in a rather grouched tone, he was not happy as he backed up from a Vehicon that tried to slash them with a pick, he stabbed them with a knife he pulled out and used it as a shield to block some laser fire from others.

"I'm sorry, babysit? Tankor, I get but I don't need a babysitter old-timer, I can take care of myself." Hot Rod said to Kup with a smug tone before Kup tossed his knife near their direction hitting a Vehicon that was running towards the Autobot, Hot Rod didn't see it or the knife nearly hitting him. "Whoa, careful, you could have-"

"The words you're looking for should be "Thank you" from someone who helped you from that Vehicon, remember, you're not a full-time Wrecker… yet," Kup said as he turned back to the entrance of the cave and paused as he saw a Vehicon walking backward with a pickaxe stuck in its head, letting it walk away confusing the elderly Wrecker.

"Kup, what is going on the top side?" Impactor asked his comrade from within the cave, Kup quickly answered his end but not before tossing his rifle at a charging Vehicon that stunned it for a second before pulling out another gun and firing hitting his foe in the face, he then holstered it and grabbed his falling rifle and reloaded it. "Kup? Why is everyone not replying when I call them today?!"

"Sorry about that, dealing with a lot including babysitting these two." Kup replied with Hot Rod giving a "HEY!" Off in the distance. "What did I do to deserve this?"

"We need everyone down here for- Scrap hand-on." Impactor paused before a loud BANG could be heard over the call. "I am talking to a worthless drone! Sorry about that, there are more of these things than I thought. Anyway, I needed you since you know how to lead and teach newer members, you said Hot Rod could be Wrecker material and need you to prove it as for Tankor we need someone to watch it at all times on and off base."

Kup wasn't happy, but he sighed and accepted this. "Understood, how are things on your end?"

"By the looks of it, their numbers are almost done, we'll be on the top side in a short time. Over and out." Impactor said as his call ended.

Kup just got back to fighting, he noticed that the numbers of Vehicons were rather lower, they had to have taken them all out at this point, good for them. He then saw Hot Rod notice the Vehicon that was walking backward, to him he didn't notice the pick in their head and started to chase them. "I see one breaking off, they might call for reinforcements!" Hot Rod said as he transformed into his robot mode to catch up to them.

"Kid, wait!" Kup called out but fell on deaf ears, the total remaining Vehicons noticed Hot Rod driving off and chasing after them, four in total but Kup gunned one down before it could transform with the three keeping up the chase in their alt modes. Kup then fired another shot hitting the front wheel of one of them and causing it to swerve before it flipped and crashed upside down on top of another one, he then fired another shot that hit the Vehicon, a fuel tank and it exploded destroying the one it was beneath. Kup was about to fire at the last one but couldn't as Tankor fired a powerful tank shot hitting the last Vehicon that was too close to Hot Rod, exploding the Vehicon but the shockwave from the blast launched Hot Rod in the air.

"WHOA!" Hot Rod cried out before he transformed back into robot mode to land softly on the ground. "Tankor, what was that?!" Hot Rod called out before remembering something, Tankor wasn't given a proper communicator or any long or short-range communication device, a ton of trackers to keep track of his location at all times but nothing else. "Oh right… um, Kup, what was that?" Hot Rod asked.

"You are being a cog for a head." Kup replied. "The Vehicons were chasing after you and that one you were following wasn't a threat."

"It could be seen by humans, we need to-"

"Son, get back here. You read the briefing information Agent O'Neal explained to us, right? The nearest human village or town is miles away, we'll follow it and get it later until then we stay at our post and guard in case any of them try to get out." Kup explained, sounding slightly disappointed in Hot Rod for breaking away from the group.

Hot Rod turned back to the Vehicon and back to the entrance, he grunted as he had no way of dealing with this and drove back to Kup. "Sorry for getting away-"

"It was one lone Vehicon, one with a pick in its head, there were threats all around and you have a ranged weapon, instead of taking it out from afar you charged in without thinking or announcing it you pointed out but not say you were going to take it." Kup had a slight tone of disappointment in his voice, there wasn't any resentment but rather him sounding like he was lecturing a student after they did something reckless. "Then there is the tank over here." Kup tapped on Tankor's side. "He just fired when you were too close to a Vehicon that was chasing you. We'll have to talk about this later."

"Tankor you. Tankor wanted to help." Tankor said trying to sound empathetic, it sounded more intimidating with their voice's tone changing.

"Sorry, usually we just fight the Decepticons and… I guess Wreckers don't split up often?" Hot Rod asked his peer.

Kup pulled out an object from a compartment on his side, it looked like a small cylinder object, it was like a bullet casing and put it in his mouth then an object that looked like a coin placing it on the object he put in his mouth. "Well, usually we would split up just before going into combat or entering into a mission, we break formation only when told to stop someone, I'm in charge son, wait for me to give the order next time, we may reckless at times but we know when to use our heads, don't rush recklessly kid, you'll never make it to my age if you don't think," Kup explained to Hot Rod.

"Wait, Bots can live for a billion years?" Hot Rod said jokingly with Kup not even giving them a warning as they pulled them closer with a scowl on their face guessing it was to punch them or something, he paused before seeing something in the distance. "Huh? What is it?" Kup pointed behind him, he turned to see the Vehicon that was walking backward fall over on its stomach with the pick out of its head a foot away with the handle pointing at the now deactivated body, there was almost nothing as the terrain was nearly flat. "How did it-"

"All Wreckers, this is Impactor, all enemies have been eliminated, switching to the secondary objective. We're collecting the Energon, leaving back home, then blowing this place up. AB, your turn for the switch." Impactor announced in an open-air communication for the Wreckers.

"How come I don't get to have the detonator?" Whirl asked, almost whining.

"One word: Tyroxia, enough said." Impactor answered.

"Not my fault those creeps startled me and they had it coming they tried to kill us."

"C'mon kid," Kup just pulled Hot Rod away, and they started to walk over to the entrance, the moment they were out of voice, Kup turned his head to look at Hot Rod. "Something made that fall over, plus the pick fell out."

Hot Rod couldn't understand what he was talking about realizing something, the pickaxe was out of its head but the handle pointing at the body, if it fell out itself the angle would have been different then there was the it fell on its face, if it tripped it would have fallen on its back. "Something is out there?" Hot Rod asked.

"Yeah, regroup and report to Impactor," Kup announced as they started to go in deeper.

Back outside, close to the deactivated Vehicon body something came out of the ground, using the sand as a cloak to hide from view before they started to run away in the opposite direction of the cave. They released a hissing sound as they left, their body was strangely enough covered in purple scales, black wrist guards, red chest with golden chest plate and knee pads, and a reptile face and yellow eyes, their backs had some sort of armor that had a white pack with two red wheels attached to the pack and hovering over their shoulders, pressing their fingers on their right hand to the side of their head. "Reporting in, the Wreckers have taken the base." They spoke with a dry and monstrous voice, looking at their left arm with a hologram showing video footage showing the Wrecker's fight. "I have combat data on them."

"Very good, return to base, we move to phase two of our operations." A cold deep voice answered. "And remember…"

"Hiss, yes, there will be Mayhem."

Back inside the cave, the Wreckers were moving dozens of crates and boxes all filled with Energon around, Roadbuster and Broadside lifting two or three boxes at a time, Tankor on the other hand was moving almost double the amount. Ironfist was looking over a terminal finding other data they could take over for information. Kup was talking to Impactor about what they saw with the Vehicon that fell over and how it fell. "So, you suspect other Decepticons?" Impactor asked his friend.

"I don't think so, we would have been swarmed by more of them, they could have called for help." Kup responded before Ironfist spoke up.

"Can confirm your suspensions Kup!" Ironfist got their attention. "I used a signal jammer so they couldn't send out an SOS without us knowing, I was also checking Decepticon frequencies and nothing about this cave, and lastly this site doesn't have anyone other than the Vehicons operating this place."

"So, there was a third party outside?" Impactor asked Tankor to walk by with a box falling over but Impactor easily caught it and handed it to Kup, looked at the box, and walked away with it.

"Possibly, if they were Decepticons they should have a contact for backup, what should we do?" Ironfist asked with Impactor just starting to walk away. "Impactor?"

"We finish collecting, and then we leave." Impactor answered with the others finishing up on gathering everything they could grab. Back outside the cave, a muffled sound of an explosion and rumbling of the ground and blue flames erupting from the entrance of the cave as it was completely destroyed by an explosion.

The Wrecker's new main base, inside the underground structure of an old secret military base within a mountain close to the town of Jasper in the state of Nevada, several humans all military roaming around doing various tasks needed to keep the base functional. The main symbol of both the Wreckers and the group Nest is a Bull skull in an upside-down triangle with wings next to the bottom of it with their name above were around. Inside the room, various people were gathered around watching something. It was a fight between two people, one showing no mercy, one man looking panicked and the other having a confident smile before a SMACK!

"Winner! Player one!" A voice came from a large TV showing two characters in a fighting game could be seen, with Player one being human Ally, Ronnie Anne, partner to Hot Rod. "And that is my fourteenth win, better next time Eddie." She said with triumph, others around congratulating her as she offered a handshake to the soldier who took it as a sign of respect.

The room looked to be a break room, it was large with two televisions, several tables and a set of fridges for holding food. The doors to the room opened with Agent O'Neal walking inside the room, one soldier looked and announced: "Site Director O'Neal!" Every soldier stood up and gave a salute to the man. "At ease everyone, sigh, can't wait to find my replacement," O'Neal said with everyone going back to doing their normal things around the room, mainly eating or talking to each other he then walked over to Ronnie Anne who turned off the game. "They're back on base."

"Great." Ronnie Anne then started to follow Agent O'Neal, since becoming the director of this new organization, O'Neal showed signs he wasn't a fan of this job, the soldiers giving salutes and greeting him was nice, but some downsides were there. "Not a big fan of everything?"

"Paperwork that is nearly quadrupled to my normal amount when working for Witwicky, risk of being exposed by the Wrecker's recklessness, I did not make a pun, and someone found out I got tased by a toddler." O'Neal said as they overheard some people at a water cooler talking with one bringing up that over a week ago how Agent O'Neal was tased by a child, they turned around and saw him scoffing at them, they lowered their heads avoiding eye contact out of fear. "Still has some good perks. Working with old friends like the G.I. Joes and such."

They walked into a large room with different vehicles and large weapons around, the wreckers were inside with dozens of crates and boxes with Energon inside. Every one of the wreckers was standing around, Hot Rod seeing Ronnie Anne greeting her. "Hey kid, how was the base?" Hot Rod asked, Hot Rod was offered to work with the Wreckers he agreed but he wanted to bring Ronnie Anne, Agent O'Neal made an agreement that she could visit the base but would only wander around with an escort and avoid off-limited areas like an armory or anything more.

"Guess the mission was a success?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"Frag yeah it was!" Roadbuster announced, then he pointed at a mechanic in a green jumpsuit. "Recon, do the thing!" The mechanic name Recon gave a thumbs up, pressing a button on the wall that sent a signal to sign on the wall that said "Successful Wrecker Mission with nothing going wrong" with it adding a one to the found.

"Change it back to zero." O'Neal ordered, Recon pressing another button that changed the counter back to zero.

"Hey, what gives?" Roadbuster said annoyed.

"We got the Energon, in and out not seen, and it was a clean operation," Ironfist said defensively.

"Yeah." Said Rack. "What went wrong?" Ruin asked.

"Try you exploded an underground cavern; the explosion was massive and a village a klick from the site heard it and shook the ground. The operation was close to being blown, so a semi-successful operation." O'Neal explained to the Wreckers.

"We needed to blow the mine, if we didn't the Decepticons would return and retake it, strip the mine dry for Energon." Impactor took a knee to look O'Neal in the eyes as close as he could. "The Cons are like leeches, they would return for the scraps of fuel they could grab, what we did was what was needed."

"Not everything needs to be done extremely. Next time do so without waking up an entire town over half a mile away."

"Listen here, O'Neal!" Roadbuster shouted as he stepped forward. "When you send the Wreckers expect us to do the extreme, we'll go all out and call for clean up afterward."

"Yeah, but we can't send a clean-up so far away, the Op was also off the books! This is a Black Ops unit, if you were seen or in any of your military Alt modes, we could have an international incident! Not every country knows about the Transformers, so never will for the safety of the world. Don't go crazy and fill out every time." O'Neal explained to the Wreckers, Roadbuster wanted to argue more but Impactor placed their hand on them, telling them to stand down. "I'm not saying don't do this again next time, but next time wait until further instructions, we could have closed off the cave and found a way to cause cave-ins to bury the place.

"We understand Agent O'Neal, next time we'll find a method that won't cause attention," Impactor said as he turned to the other Wreckers. "Ironfist got to the Medical Deck and got that arm patched up, Kup you and Alpha Bravo take the Energon to the fuel depo below ground, everyone else to your quarters."

"You mean our cells." Roadbuster sounded grouchy, he did not like being on base for sure.

"Quarters," Impactor replied impatiently, he didn't like Road buster's attitude as of late since the Wreckers fell under the command of NEST.

"Whatever sir." Roadbuster walked deeper into the large hanger, making it to a garage door that opened up with various items, mainly weapons all around. The other did the same, each of them going to a garage that looked to have personal items for each of the Wreckers, except for Tankor who was taken to a platform that lowered him into the ground, almost like a missile being equipped into a silo.

"You need a vacation." Ronnie Anne said to O'Neal who just grunted and started to walk away. "Glad that we agreed on that." Ronnie Anne said as she and Hot Rod along with Ironfist entered deeper into the base.

Ironfist and Hot Rod made it to a large room with what looked like a metallic bed and large medical equipment designed for Transformers rather than humans such as a large platform on the ground with a podium in front of it, Ironfist was on the platform with dozens of mechanical arms coming from the platform looking over his arm, fixing it as it had a slight burn from being shot at. "Thank you, Minerva, my arm feels better."

A robotic voice came from the platform's terminal. "You are welcome Ironfist, please be advised that I would recommend not taking any more battle damage as my skills are still limited." The robotic voice was called Minerva.

Ronnie Anne looked at the device curiously as she had seen it once but never got the time to ask about it. "So, what is that thing anyway, some sort of medical equipment?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"Looks to be a model 7 medical platform used for Frontline battles, no I never actually seen one with the fully functional medical A.i. like this one?" Hot Rod answered.

Ironfist got off the platform to explain to their allies. "Oh, right we never introduced you all, the AI on the terminal to this platform is called Minerva, she was originally created by the science division high council's medical order, she was highly advanced first of its kind AI designed to help medical treatment as there was a shortage of medics in some parts of Cybertron, no before she could be fully activated the more star than the Decepticons and took everything and even tried to reprogram her into an interrogation / torture AI to extract information out of Decepticons by a messed up ways, but on my first records assignment I actually came across her found her and took the program before they did anything to her."

"Of course, the Decepticons we're trying to turn innocent AI I meant for helping into something diabolical." Hot Rod spoke up. "So, how sophisticated is this AI exactly? Most Cybertronian A.I.s tend to be nearly as independent and intelligent as a normal Cybertronian themselves?"

"You could ask me yourself." The voice of my nervousness spoke up, catching their attention. "I am an advanced AI, I was meant to check up on a Cybertronian not only medically but also psychologically, keeping them well in a mental state as well. Ironfist even added firewalls and other programs to keep me from changing my prime directive."

"Heh, It-it was nothing really." Ironfist said, sounding a little nervous, there was humility in his voice as he made it feel like it wasn't a big deal at all. "I was just helping out; she may not have a spark, but she can still think on her own like she was a sentient being and Optimus does say freedom is the right to all sentient beings, right?"

"That's actually a good point Ironfist, you Wreckers are actually really cool you know that?" Ronnie Anne said to Ironfist who nodded in agreement, they both could agree on that.

"Yeah, the Wreckers are a great group, we handle the dangerous stuff no one else can simply do. I even looked up to them before I was selected to join them, joining them was a serious dream come true."

"Good for you Ironfist, great that you reached your dreams too."

"Thanks Ronnie Anne. To some it is rather risky, I mean the Wreckers had so many members, many of which perished on missions, but the Wreckers do the right thing and doing the job is too risky for many to do." Ironfist explained to the humans.

"Yeah, I've heard of a few stories of the Wreckers since we still have access to the Autobot data logs that get updates." Hot Rod explained before starting to count with his fingers. "Let's see there was the Siege of T'Muk, you all aided Sherma Bridge, helped with the Autobot Exodus, rescued Ultra Magnus and his crew who crashed on Pova, and helped defend Paradron."

"Oh Paradron, that was a mess." Ironfist said with distraught in his voice.

"What do you mean, I heard it was an epic fight for the Wreckers you took on an advance team called Squadron X and took out Straxus who took over the colony, Paradron was meant to be for the Autobots as a central hub and-" As Hot Rod Spoke Ironfist interrupted him.

"No, it was more of a mess on their end, it was technically my first time teaming with the Wreckers as I was still with Ultra Magnus after we were saved on Pova. Half of them died because they thought they could take on the Wreckers in a fight with seven of them being ripped apart by Roadbuster alone. One of them, Macabre I think, yeah, he had a gun that could shot cosmic rust particles and I had a gun that clogged it before he could fire, it exploded and him and two others, Tornado and Earthquake I think, were affected I didn't it was loaded with Cosmic rust… It was horrifying… I think only one member Ferak got away." Ironfist explained the events of that day, there was a bit of shame in it as it wasn't a good day to him it was also a one-sided fight too from the looks of it.

"What about Straxus?"

"Who is that?" Ronnie Anne asked, confused about this character.

"Straxus was a Decepticon minister, a high member of Megatron's inner circle considered a mad Con who throws his prisoners into smelting pools, he is also a poet with rumors that he wrote his work in the biofuel of Transformers." Hot Rod explained horrifying Ronnie Anne with this information.

"Oh, that was an exaggeration made by other cons. Some sort of fear tactic I think, like war propaganda. Anyway, soon after the battle with Squadron X, the Wreckers, Ultra Magnus, and the Autobot Elite Guard we made our way to Straxus. Let me just say I took a pickaxe to the arm nearly losing it. Roadbuster ripped off the Con's head, and that didn't even finish him off either he was still active, and according to the Autobot code since he wasn't offline and could no longer bow, we had to take him prisoner and Roadbuster took his large pickaxe, Ultra Magnus took him and still has them." Ironfist explained to them.

"Autobot Elite Guard?" Ronnie Anne questioned, this was the first time hearing that, just how many Autobot subgroups are there?

"Oh, Autobot Elite Guards are those who mainly operate under the Autobot main councilmen, the Supreme commanders, like Ultra Magnus, Fortress Maximus or Dia Atlas, each member has to recount the Autobot code from cover to the last character, loyal to the Autobots, and an extreme specialist in a field. I became one myself because of my weapon and equipment specialty," Ironfist then pointed at his Autobot symbol with the stripes on the side of it like wings. "You can tell who by these stripes, no one just gets them, you get it from one of the higher ups themselves like Ultra Magnus."

"Elite Guards are also high ranking, but have you become a Wrecker? Did you do something that made Ultra Magnus kick you off his ship?" Hot Rod asked. "Let me guess, you accidentally made some spelling mistakes on important papers?"

"Wha- Oh, no, I willing joined the Wreckers, they noticed my skills with weapons both using, making, and understanding them, Ultra Magnus allowed me to join them half a Deca cycle ago, I think he also wanted someone keeping a close eye on them and write down any violations to the code they made, they made a lot of minor code violations, I'm not one to talk I even helped a few times."

"After meeting them, that makes sense." Ronnie Anne replied.

"Everyone knew that after hearing that Whirl and Roadbuster joined the team." Hot Rod added. "So, I take it you see the Wreckers as great?"

"Are you kidding me, even before joining them I looked up to them, sure I didn't support all their methods. I just liked what they have done and could do and when I was asked to join, I jumped to it." Ironfist replied sounding like a fanboy to his favorite band or something. "I even have records of all their missions even how the Wreckers first formed, Impactor was a Decepticon who was left for scrap after a failed ambush where Ratchet found them and saved their life and-"

"Attention all units and Wreckers, meeting in the briefing hanger in T-minus 5 minutes." Agent O'Neal spoke up in a loudspeaker system in the base, everyone in the base heard it. "Oh, Ronnie Anne you too kid, and to anyone who doesn't want a civilian with us… deal with it."

"What was that about?" Ronnie Anne asked confused, seeing the others who didn't know or understand either.

A few moments ago, inside an office just above the hanger, close to the ceiling with a window looking down at the hanger with the Wreckers each in their own rooms that are large garages they once used for spare space for vehicles, he remembers roaming the base a few years ago when he was a part of a group called the G.I. Joes. This room was once a record and mechanics office for the hangar below, the main director's office was still being refurbished, he wasn't going to move into the office as he was a temp director of this organization and wanted to find someone more reliable. Agent O'Neal had managed to finish any paperwork so was on a laptop, he wasn't however working on anything but rather watching a video of a cat playing on a piano making him smile but quickly closed the tab as someone barged it. "Sir!"

"What in the- Unless someone dies or a serious emergency like a nuke, knock!" Agent O'Neal said as he closed the laptop and raised his desk and turned to the soldier who barged in. "What is it?"

"We finished up looking into the surviving servers from Arkeville's lab and found one of his off-site labs or warehouses." The soldier explained to Agent O'Neal. "But there seems to be a few issues and setbacks." The soldier then handed O'Neal a tablet that showed data.

"What set-" Agent O'Neal then looked at the tablet to see the data, he scowled before pinching the bridge of his nose, he didn't like what he just learned. "Great, just fantastic… Alright, get the Wreckers and a few of our units."

Within a large room dozens of soldiers, men, and women took seats in foldable chairs with Ronnie Anne sitting next to the same one she beat in that fighting game earlier, giving them a high-five as she sat down. The Wreckers just stood up, each paying attention to this briefing. Agent O'Neal stood in front of the group, another person pushing a projector around. "Alright, it seems we have everyone here."

"Alright O'Neal, what is this about?" Impactor asked.

"Please say we get to break stuff?" Roadbuster added as he practically hugged his personal weapon with Whirl nodding in agreement for this.

"Calm down Roadbuster, that will have to wait."

"Boo!"

"Alright, everyone quiet down, watch the projector, there won't be popcorn for this flick." Agent O'Neal said with the Wreckers looking a little confused as they hadn't gotten to a full understanding of metaphors and human jokes completely. The lights turned off in the room, the projector showed information and a picture of Doctor Arkeville. "As most of you know, this is Dr. Henry Arkeville, a scientist and expert in alien technology. A few weeks ago, it was revealed that Dr. Arkeville was using his status and resources for personal unethical projects and had a few offsite labs and buildings he was using for these projects."

Agent O'Neal clicked something that switched to a different image, showing images of Transformers, mainly Decepticons being dissected or mechanically mutilated, even showing a Transformers head in a large glass tube, this made the Wreckers look a little sick, Impactor, Whirl, and Roadbuster kept their composure. "A human did all that?" Ironfist said, rather shocked, that some humans can be dangerous.

"I hope this is a mission about taking him out." Alpha Bravo whispered to the weapons expert, not wanting the humans to hear them as to not seem cruel about what they learned.

"Something you want to say Alpha Bravo?" O'Neal asked with the Wrecker stumbling on his words before shaking his head, staying silent. "Alright, now upon learning this information, we also learned he was getting this data for his projects from the comatose body of a Decepticon named Shockwave, upon reactivation, Shockwave destroyed the lab, we didn't find Arkeville's body afterward."

"Something tells me there is a chance he is still alive then?" Impactor spoke up with O'Neal nodding. "What does this mean then?"

"As of a few hours ago we recovered everything in his lab that survived the fire that engulfed the lab, mainly a few papers and equipment but we did find something on a server we recovered, this data gave us little information but it did give us a location, we believe it to be a lab and storage building," O'Neal explained as he noticed one soldier raising their arm. "Yes?"

"So, this is a reconnaissance operation sir? If so, why are the Wreckers and Civilians then?"

"That is the part you all won't like, we recovered enough data for a layout and the security systems, such as turrets, line mines, and self-operated M.O.B.A.T.s, Multi-Ordinance Battle Tanks, in other words, his systems seem to be over the edge and make this worse, any chance of breaching will activate an onsite self-destruct system, wiping servers and anything inside if we get passed the first wave of defenses," O'Neal explained.

"So, with security this high he has something in there then?"

"Correct Tungsten, luckily, we found something else in the data. It seems he had a list of those allowed for otherization, it seems he set it up in his main lab and shared it with other locations too and if he is alive then he never changed it." O'Neal explained to his fellow NEST agents before swapping to another image that also explained why Ronnie Anne was here. "For those who don't know, these four went to space."

The image showed a list of four readable names, Lincoln Loud, Clyde McBride, Stella Zhau, and Ronnie Anne Santiago. One soldier turned to Ronnie Anne who looked confused, and she shrugged as she didn't understand until she remembered. "Wait, yeah I think I know why."

"Yes Ronnie Anne, just a few days ago these four accidentally traveled to another planet via teleportation," Agent O'Neal explained with some of the people questioning how you accidentally travel into space. "Dr. Arkeville wanted to meet them for research purposes but old Loud and McBride met him while the others were preoccupied. This is the part no one is going to like… Sorry kid but we're going to need you for this mission." With those words, some soldiers and agents were arguing and giving their opinions about this, not one wanting to agree to it. "Alright, Alright! I know none of you agree with this, I want to go against it too, but we have no other means to breach without destroying everything and we might need what is inside that building. I won't do it if the kid doesn't want to do it." Agent O'Neal said with one person raising a hand, they had a question. "Yes?"

"Couldn't we just use Project pretender?" They asked, some of them others looked surprised, and others were worried, they noticed this and explained more into their idea. "I was the team protecting her friend from that rogue pretender a while back. She was there too." They explained easing the tension of that project being revealed to a civilian.

"Due to that event the project is here by on hold and in storage unless it is needed for national security reasons, meaning we cannot use Project Pretender, we could try and find another way inside the lab-"

Agent O'Neal was then cut off from Ronnie Anne speaking up, surprising everyone. "Let's do it." Everyone turned to the teenage girl, all surprised. "C'mon O'Neal, me and my friends have come into contact with Decepticons, been to space, and almost risked our lives near daily since meeting the Autobots, I think something like this can't be so hard." Ronnie Anne explained her reasoning, she had a point.

Agent O'Neal let out a sigh, it is clear he didn't want to do this plan. "Alright, let's do this." He then showed another image from the projector, it looked like floor plans. "We believe the controls to the room are within this area of the buildings. Ronnie Anne will get in, use a hacking device to give us access to his servers and turn off the defenses, then the kid gets out and we take it from there. The location of this lab is in New Mexico-"

"What was wrong with the old one?" Whirl asked Ironfist who shrugged it off for a

With that, the briefing for the mission was finished. They started to get ready, everyone grabbing their equipment, moving to a form of transport afterward. Hot Rod walked over to Ronnie Anne, needing a word." Ronnie Anne, are you really sure about this?" He asked worriedly, he didn't want her getting hurt or anything bad happening to her.

"Hot Rod, I know what I'm doing."

"Kid, you're just- you're still a kid and could get seriously hurt. Maybe you shouldn't-"

"Hot Rod, c'mon, like I said I've dealt with a lot of stuff in the past, I know what I'm doing." Ronnie Anne replayed with confidence.

"You guys were taken and held hostage several times."

"I know things will seem like we aren't going to be alright, besides what is the worst that could happen?"

Two hours later

Inside a large, nearly dark room with crates scattered around, there was enough room with space to walk around everything. The lights were old with some flickering on and off, the walls were made of concrete. Ronnie Anne, wearing a ballistic vest, ran down the halls breathing heavily stopping to hide behind some crates, looking around worriedly. "Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said what is the worst that could happen." Ronnie Anne said as she leaned over the creature to rest for a moment, something then dropped on her shoulder, it was droplets, but it wasn't water it was saliva. Right above Ronnie Anne, standing on the metallic creature, a large figure was watching her, it made a hissing sound before it dropped on top of her.
