Back with the Autobot rescue mission…..
/ Jetstorm to prime to be of coming in?/
/I hear you Jetfire, did you find anything?/
/I am of sorry sir I have searched the skies and there is to be of no nemesis sir/
Optimus let out a sigh of frustration. / Alright Jetstorm give it another go an meet back with the team./
/ Yes sir! An Don't to be of worrying Prime sir I am of having few more areas to scan before returning sir./
/Affirmative Jetstorm, keep me informed, you're my only true asset for finding the nemesis at the moment./
/Of course sir and will be of keeping of update Sir! Jetstorm out/
"Prime! You need to see this quick!" Prowls voice bellowed out from behind him.
"What is it-" Prime stopped dead in his track, shocked from what he was looking at.
"This looks likes war zone all by its self Prime."
"Tire tracks, and their too big to belong to knockout. So they must belong to the twins."
(How does he know what size knockouts tires are?) "Agreed sir, If so they were together because there are too many tracks marks running in different directions as well as in specific spot."
Prime and Prowl exam different portions of the battle ground. Prowl came across burn marks as well as blast marks. "Sir I think they were going against seekers AND the turbo jet twins."
"Why do you say that?"
"This specific blast mark had to of came from Dreadwings bombs. Meaning either they got out of the way an avoid the bomb-"
"Or they were by it when it went off." (This isn't good. Not only are our bots missing, but they could also be seriously injured.) "Keep searching prowl see if you can find anything else."
Prowl nodded his helm swiftly to his prime. "Yes sir"
Prime commed Ironhide who at the moment was in charge of the other team. /Ironhide how are things going on your end?/
/Sorry Prime but if ya looking for some good news then I got nothing like that for ya prime. /
/ Fine, what did you find Ironhide/ Prime was beginning to get irritated at Ironhide little remarks. Usually he would tolerate it, but today was not the day for Ironhide to be pushing his limits. (Ironhide's making this rescue mission difficult, but I need him here.)
/ We found a full sail of trees broken down from the root on up an a trail of energon fluid. Along with pieces of yellow armor scattered here and there, unfortunately no Bumblebee./
/alright keep me informed, on if you find anything else, prime out/ just as Optimus hung up his comm link Jetstorm transformed and landed between Prowl and Prime. "Any luck Jetstorm"
"As to the nemesis, no sir, I- I did not find any of things sir. However I was noticing warm air from where the ocean is hitting on land"
"What does that have to do with our situation Jetstorm"
"It is of fall there is supposed to be lots of cold breezes"
"Meaning what Jetstorm?" Optimus was getting a bit annoyed with his young jets riddles. (I know I shouldn't be getting mad at him. I can't blame him for the way he speaks, that and he is trying to learn how to speak more clearly for the teams sake.)
Prowl stepped forward hoping to help Prime understand. "Let me explain it a bit more clearly sir. What Jetstorms is trying to say is that the only reason there would be any warm air in the sky would be because of a massive heat turbine blowing heat out. Meaning the ship is either going the direction the warm is going or vise versa."
"Why did you not try and track it then Jetstorm?"
"Nightfall sir, even if I am to try an find nemesis I would fly right by it. Its colors match night sky sir. I wouldn't see it unless I hit it, literally."
"Jetstorms right, an even if he hit the ship head on he would be blown out of the sky by the nemesis. Soundwave keeps surveillance on that ship I'm sure of it."
"This is not good"
"Sir what do you wish to do? Return or keep looking?"
Prime stayed silent for a moment it seemed as though he would have to make a choice. There was evidence of their presence yes, but where they went is completely covered up. (There has to be something we are all over looking. Some clue to actually get us going in the right direction. Anything!) In that moment it seemed as primus had heard him, or by pure luck, that he got a comm call.
/What is it Ironh-/
/OP *static* MUS!/
/Sideswipe!? Where are you!/ Optimus posture stiffen from shock.
/ On th- static* -mesis *static* -ging back *static*- cade *static *- ckout/
/What I can't understand you sideswipe? Where are you and who is with you?/ (This is not good his comm reception has too much static, but I have to get as much information out as much as I can.)
/Sun- *static* bee MIA/
/Sideswipe say it again!/
/Can- *static* not enough time- *static* out and Barricade *Static* meet with us/
/SIDESWIPE! NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR WHAT! YOU'RE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE! SIDESWIPE!? / Optimus began to panic. Fearing that the two were serious trouble.
*The comm line dies*
(Scrap) Optimus silently cussed his self out for being useless to his 3 missing troops. It was rare that Optimus Prime cursed out loud. However when he did every bot made sure to stay out of his way and let him cool off. Even sweet Bumblebee kept her distance at times like that.
Prowl and Jetstorm looked at each other confused at what just happen. Prowl took one good look at their leader and knew that look far to well. The look of a Prime blaming his self for something out of his servo. Prowl wasn't going to let Optimus guilt trip his self for the three disappearance, so he did something about it.
"Sir! We are still waiting for your decision! Shall we begin our midnight mission now or wait for more information. Strategically we should go off what little we already have and go with it."
"Prowl is to be of going with it? Not prowl style, More of Jazzes." Jetstorm smiled at his officer.
"When you have been with jazz as long as I have, thing tend to rubbed off Jetstorm" Jetstorm simply smiled at prowl before turning his helm to their prime.
"Sir." Prime attention silently went to Jetstorm. "Permission to speak sir?"
Prime nodded his helm at the young bot. (He only ask to speak if he knows that I am upset. I need to keep my anger in check.) "Go ahead Jetstorm."
"Earlier I said I was of knowing direction of nemesis, correct?"
"Yes..?"
"I never was to be saying I wasn't up for the challenge sir." Prime could do nothing but smile at the young bot. "Besides sir Bittybee would to of done same for me an brother, I return favor sir. She is to being of younger sister to me an brother were of wish we had."
"I will comm Mirage and the other to inform them of our plan." Optimus nodded his helm to his strategist, giving a faint smile as he activated his com link to Mirage.
/ "Mirage."/
/"I'm kinda busy at the moment prowl!"/ loud yelling can be heard from mirages end of the conversation.
/"What is going on mirage?"/
/ "Oh you know just the normal of JAZZ AN IRONHIDE TRYING TO DESTROY EACH OTHER!?"/
/ "What!? UH! We'll be there in a moment just keep them separated!"/
/ "Yea because I'm standing in between the two for sheer fun!"/ Mirage ended his comm link.
"Prime we have a bit of a problem."
"What's wrong now Prowl?"
"I'm not entirely sure yet, but Jazz and Ironhide have gotten into it and mirage is having a hard time keeping them separated."
*sigh* "Lets go quickly, the faster we get this settle the better chance of us successfully tracking the nemesis." Prime transformed and began to drive off with Prowl and Jetstorm in pursuit. Upon arriving at the rest of the teams location prime and his group saw Mirage pushing the two apart. Jazz had a busted lip and slightly crack visor as Ironhide had dents all over his chestplate.
"WHATS GOING ON HERE!" The two stopped their fighting upon hear Primes voice. Though their stares never left each other. Silence fell in between the two. "Well im waiting for a response, Because we do NOT have time for thing like this. You two are fighting while 3 members of our team are missing." Prime just pinched the bridge of his optic brows from stress. "We will settle this at base AFTER we rescue Bumblebee and the twins. Understood!"
The two nodded their helms at prime showing that they understood. Though their facial expression still read that they wanted to kill on another , but they let it go for the time being.
"P-prime s-sir?"
"What is it Jetstorm." Primes voice was stern an irritated, making Jetstorm a bit uneasy.
"I think it would be best to, uh, Swap of team members, Yes sir."
"Agreed. Jetstorm how well do you get along with Ironhide."
"F-fairly w-well sir…" ( I wasn't of thinking of swapping me! Mr. Ironhide is of making me uneasy…T^T)
"So be it, Jazz you will stick alongside prowl and I, Jetstorm you will be Jazzes replacement."
Jazz stayed silent as she simply walked by Jetstorm and took her position between Prime and Prowl. Her optics relocked back onto Ironhide whose optics tracked her every move. Once everyone was on their new teams Prime began to speak yet again.
"Alright Autobots, I manage to get a bit of information from Sideswipe. Apparently from what I was able to make out from his static filled information, is, that they are on the nemesis. At least he and Sunstreaker are. Bumblebee is still missing, and for some reason the name 'Cade' was mention. He also said 'ckout', I'm guessing he was mentioning knockout. Seeing as though that is the only bot I can think of with the name that has that punctuation in it.
"What of Blackout?" Jetstorm added to Primes guess of who the other name could have been. However Ironhide decided shoot down Jetstorm with a death glare of anger, which caused the massive jet to cower behind little Mirage in fear.
Jazz fist balled up in disbelief of how Ironhide was able to scare Jetstorm like that. She was just about to chew Ironhide out, but was silence by a black servo covered her mouth. Her optics cut to her mate in anger.
Prowl lowly whispered to her, "We'll get it situated back at base I promise. He's done know physical harm to him and trust and believe that Optimus has taken notice of what just happen. Right now we need to get back Bee and the twins. Alright?"
Jazz just nodded her helm in frustration, but continued to hold back her temper as she focus back on Prime.
Prime continued on with what he was originally saying. "Whoever it is, we need to be on the lookout for either or. Sideswipe also mentioned something along the lines of meeting up with us. That was all I manage to get from him."
Prowl removed his servo from Jazz's mouth and slowly crept forward wishing to add to the information. Optimus optics caught ahold of his actions, Causing Prowl to stop in his step.
"Go on prowl."
Prowl nodded his helm slowly, almost as though he was unsure of what to actually do. "Jetstorm took to the sky and manage to find traces of the nemesis flight directions. We do not know of its exact where about, but we know which direction it is heading. If we wait too long we will lose that only real evidence we have of finding them to 'procrastination'. Jetstorm you will need to find that heat sore again and com us when you relock on to it."
"Y-yes sir." Jetstorm looked at Ironhide for a moment unsure on rather to actually move or not. He decided not to move and just locked his self behind Mirage.
"I'm done Prime" Prowl turn to retake his position beside Jazz silently. Silently taking ahold of her anger filled fist in attempts to calm her down.
"All right Jetstorm head to the skies, we need that information."
"Y-Yes sir!" Jetstorm transformed quickly and took off where he last located the hot winds. He found it almost immediately, an did as the other told him to do.
/ "Sire I am of finding it! Quickly I think I actually am of seeing nemesis sir."/
/"Don't get to close Jetstorm, distance yourself so your are not detected, but don't loose sight of that ship"/
/"Yes sir"/
*End Com*
The rest of the team transformed an made their way to Jetstorms location. Their entire ride was silent no bot said a word. Even jazz stayed comply silent, you almost didn't even hear the hum of her engine. As they got closer Mirage finally spoke up an asked.
"Optimus how exactly are we going to get them off that ship, its way up there and were way down here, And Jetstorm is only one bot against a 100+."
"Jetstorm will have to grab their attention and bring the battle to us so that we can get to them off that ship."
"We're going to have to be extra cautious seeing as we have a disadvantage in the dark of night. They tend to blend in with the darkness. Don't you think sir?"
"Then we' will have to be on of peds an guard, won't we mirage"
Mirage took the strong hint of shut the frag up or else so he did. As he rolled between Ironhide and Optimus in silence. (This is honestly the quietest I have ever heard jazz. Even she wouldn't be able to stand this pit spawn of silence. She must still be pissed about what Ironhide said. Guess I kinda can't blame her what he said was over the line.)
They continued to drive until Jetstorm gave them the say so to go in an prepare for battle.
Knockout had finish repairing bumblebee hours ago and began buffing her. Though the buffer wasn't really loud she made sure not to wake Barricade up. She watched Barricade as he continued to recharge peacefully by bumblebee's side.
"I must say barricade, this is the most recharge you gotten in a long time."
She softly laughed at her friend as she continued to keep track of time. (Good thing I snuck the twins a cube when I did otherwise they would be useless. I don't need them passing out from exhaustion or hunger.) An hour passed as she put the finishing touches on bee.
"There! All done! Look at yourself bee you look so fragging beautiful! Thanks to yours truly of course. Now that you're done its time to wake up your dangerous boyfriend ha ha ha ha."
Her servo reached out to the recharging cop shaking him slightly. "Hey caddie poo it's time to wake up. Our little adventure awaits us!"
Cade remain still for a moment before letting out a heavy vented sigh. His helm lifted from his arms as his purple optics stared at the medic. "What do you want?" His vocals dragged, but you could tell he was feeling better.
"It's time to go our separate ways cade." She genuinely smiled at the cop.
"Already, fine" He rose from his resting spot and stretched. Relaxing, his optic looked at the resting femme. "She's still in recharge hu?"
"Yep been in recharge since you went in recharge."
He looked the femme up and down notice how bright and smooth her amour looked. (This is the nicest I have seen her look. She looks nice, I'll admit it.) "You got bored?"
"WHAT! NO! I couldn't let a femme go around looking like she's been through the pit and back! Not in my medbay anyway, so I patch her up and made her look fragging beautiful."
"You just wanted someone to play with knockout admit it."
"NOT TRUE! Besides, Bumblebee just looked dusty and dull. Thought I do something nice for her, that's all. "
"You do know theirs nothing wrong with wanting to hang out with another femme right? Especially since you don't like bonding with any of the femme here."
"None of the femmes here want to do anything I like! Most don't like talking to me!"
"Let me guess, Bee had no problem talking to you."
Knockout stayed silent for a moment. Thinking back on all the time she would race Bee for the pit of it. Whenever she had a problem that she felt uncomfortable talking to barricade about, she went to bumblebee. She actually listen to knockout, gave advice, and even comfort her. Though she was an Autobot she made time to hang out with her. It wasn't often though, seeing as Bumblebee became busy with scouting things and she herself had thing to do for the Decepticon. But whenever Knockout got the chance she would take it to race Bee. "You know what cade your right. I did talk to her about everything. She would sit there after our race and listen to ever single word."
"Yep that sounds like that brat." Barricades helm tilted to the side a bit as he rubbed the back of it.
"You seem rather comfortable with her as well cade."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Watching you recharge beside her, you looked so peaceful and you look like you were actually happy beside here."
"JUST BECAUSE I RECHARGED WELL BY HER FRAGGING SIDE DOESN'T MEANT SCRAP!"
"Maybe, but I have seen you recharge in places by pure accident and look miserable. Yet you lay next to her and were all happy and stuff. I think you enjoy her company."
"FRAG OFF! IM GOING TO CHECK ON THE TWINS! BYE!" Barricade stormed out of the medbay going to the prison sector. (Just cause I recharge comfortably for once doesn't mean anything! UH! Whatever I got business to handle) Barricade angrily punched in the cell code and rushed in. "HEY YOU TWO!"
The twins had been stared at the cop completely confused seeing as they manage to get ahold of Optimus, but shhh he doesn't need to know that. What really caught their attention was why the Cop was still upset. Hours had gone by since he had last seen them. Sunstreaker truly didn't care enough about why. Sideswipe however became curious to the point where he decided to ask instead.
"Hey what's with you!? Just gone come rushing in like you own the place! Then gone have the nerves to call us out. You do know we're the only two here right?" Sideswipe smiled playfully.
"I don't know Sides, cons aren't known for their brilliance." Sunny looked at his brother with a serious expression
"Come on now sunny can't you play nice with him just this once. What happened between you two happen years ago!
"Indeed, I would listen to your idiot brother if I were you Sunstreaker, seeing as I am your only exit out of here. Regardless, I came here to tell you fraggers that things are about to get complicated and you better prepare for anything. "
"Hmp fine! An no need to worry your 'sweet' little helm about us we know how handle ourselves." Sunstreaker optics finally met the cop showing his seriousness.
Barricade watched the yellow twin, studying his body language. (He better not frag this up, because if he does, and this plan fails, then Knockout and I are going to be in the Well of All Sparks before we know it!) "Fine, whatever, but do realize that your little scouts life is depending on the success of our little scrap heap of a plan."
Sideswipe optic widen from shock. "Scout, wait you mean bee!"
"Where is she? Is she still alive?" Sunstreaker began to be a bit cautious of his words. Especially since this was the first time they had heard anything about her and rather or not she was alright.
"Yea is she alright?" Sideswipe face expression showed that he was worried for the young femme.
"Just know this you two, if you frag this up, she won't be alright and you won't be seeing her again." Barricade walked silently out of the prison, and made his way to the upper level. The upper level is where Starscream should be training the Predacons. (Good thing screamer and the Predacons don't get along cause it would be quite pitiful if the Predacons were to go berserk.) Barricade left the twin alone with a smile on his face as he disappeared down the hall.
"What do think he meant by that sunny?"
"I don't know, but I'm more worried about her condition. If Slipstream dropped her theirs no way that she would be alive, especially from that height. That not even including the injuries she already had"
"Maybe she's still alright somehow! I mean, come on bro, she's been through worse and you know it! She pulled through every obstacle that came her way! She too lucky to just fall over and-"
"SIDESWIPE THAT LUCK IS GOING TO RUN OUT EVENTUALLY! SHE GOING TO GET WAY OVER HER HELM BEING WITH US AND ENDING UP OFFLINE JUST LIKE THE REST OF THEM DID!"
"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!?"
"My problem is that I don't want her to end up like the others."
Sideswipe stayed silent reflecting on what happen to other femmes that sought interest in them an actually manage to hold a 'relationship' with the both of them. However the ending was always the same. Sideswipe shook his helm of the thought and continued to talk to his brother. "I get that Sunstreaker, but you didn't have to approach it like that. We've known bee since she emerged. She was the reason we joined the Autobots in the first place remember. Since we've joined you've actually been happy, well around me and her you are anyway."
"Things have changed Sideswipe, Years have passed!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Bots aren't who they use to be Sideswipe, example Ironhide and Chromia"
"What they went through Sunny was different."
"What's different from that incident to regular war life Sides?"
"Something that they made died at a young age and-"
"You think they are the only ones that have lost something or someone at a young age and hated people for it Sideswipe. There're are lots of bots that have lost someone special to them."
"That's not what I'm saying, what I'm saying is they lost something before that truly got a chance to know it. How would you feel if things were set up differently for us. If I died and you had to live on just because that's how life worked."
"That's different Sideswipe."
"Not it's not, the bond they had was just like our only difference was that she was one bot as opposed to us being one bot in separate frames."
"Lets just drop this whole subject for now."
Sunstreaker could no longer look at his twin brother. He block off his bond to his brother so that he wouldn't feel the guilt he was feeling. However what he said about bee was true rather either of them like it or not. Letting her get closer to them than what she already was just too much of a risk. They didn't want what happen to the other femmes happen to Bee.
( I couldn't live with myself if we were the cause of her death. Our lives wouldn't be the same without her. She is practically the reason we are who we are. She was the only one who actually loved to be around the both of us since the start. Scrap she still enjoys being with us, it's written all over her face when she is with us. Her smile, her baby blue optics, her practically everything makes our day better. Frag she's the only one that I let actually touch/hug me beside sideswipe. I-I actually like it when she's around…..Did I really just say all that?)
Out of nowhere the Ships sirens blared to life grabbing both twins attention.
"I wonder if this is our cue Sunny?"
"Most likely, So I hope your ready idiot"
"What kind of question is that! Of course" Sideswipe smiled at his brother eagerly.
The twins' optics stayed on the cell doors as Knockout appeared out of all the commotion and nearly crashed into the cells.
"Alright you two here's our chance it snow or never!" She rushed in uncuffing the twins as quickly as possible. Luckily she had unhooked the iv's and everything else medical relayed earlier. "Look barricade is going to meet up with us at the right wing side exit; we need to get their as quickly and stealthy as possible. So stay close and don't fall behind, GOT IT!"
The two mechs nodded their helms quickly as Knockout finally undid the twins last chain. The three could hear the roar of peds coming their way. Knockout hid in the shadows of the cell as Sideswipe and Sunstreaker remained in their "captive" positions so that it would seem as though they were still chained up. Just as Knockout hid completely in the shadows hundreds of drones made their way to the top of the ship where Starscream and The Predacons where at.
Knockout waited until Megatron and Soundwave rushed by before making a move. "Alright lets go its now or never!" The medic rushed out of the cell doors and down the corridors. The three remained against the wall, but moved quickly. Knockout Jumped from the sound of every explosion that could be heard from the upper deck. The closer she got to her and Barricade rendezvous spot the more nervous she became.
Sunstreaker was behind the medic and was getting nervous just by watching the femme. "Look if you keep getting scared con then you aren't going to make it through this."
"I KNOW I KNOW! But I know what Megatron does to traitors and its rather gruesome."
"Think about it like this Knockout, The faster we get there, the faster we can get out of this mess!"
"Your right Sideswipe, we're almost there! It's just around this corner." Knockout cut the sharp corner and was face to face with 4 drones.
"Medic Knockout what are you doing with the prisoners!?"
(SCRAP! Think knocky think!) She thought of the easiest lie should could think of. "I was order to take them up to the higher cells"
"If your orders are correct then you're going the wrong way! This is an exit and you know that. Your are trying to let them esca-*BAMB*
"What the!? Barricade!?"
"Yea nice to see you two! Look were going to have to tweak our plan a bit!"
"What you're kidding!?"
"Does it look like I'm kidding!? Just follow me we have to take another route!"
Barricade turned at just the right angel that the twins could see a yellow femme in his arms unconscious. They knew who it was right off the back.
"BUMBLEBEE!"
"Yea yea she's fine now lets get moving!"
As the escaped crew made their way to their new exit the sound of intense Shots and cannon blast could be head from behind. Sideswipe looked back just to see how close the explosions were them.
*BOOOOOOOOM* *Metal crushing and blast cannon sounds*
Two white short figures went flying through the back wall of the nemesis.
"IS THAT JAZZ AND PROWL!?"
"WHAT!?" Sunstreaker looked back and to his shock it was indeed the two officers from the Autobot fraction. "Well den…" the twins kept following the two cons until his com link blared to life. Nearly scaring the scrap out of him.
/ "SUNSTREAKER! CAN YOU HEAR ME!"/
/ "IRONHIDE!? YEA I HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR!"/
/ "WHERE ARE YOU!/
/ IM WITH SIDESWIPE BEE AND TWO EXTRAS! WHERE HEADING TO WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE MAIN EXIT!/ Sunstreaker was beginning to have a hard time hearing the old timer over the sound of blasters, crashes and explosion closing in behind them. Along with the sound of Megatron voice yelling through the Nemesis angrily.
/ "GREAT! GET TO THE EXIT AND JUMP! JETSTORM WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU ALL! RATCHETS ALSO HAS THE LINK OPEN SO COMM HIM AND TELL HIM TO BRIDGE YOU ALL BACK!"/
/"WHAT! IS HE EVEN ABLE TO CARRY US ALL!?"/
/ "DON'T KNOW BUT WHERE ABOUT TO FIND OUT! I'LL MESSAGE PRIME TO FALL BACK! HOW CLOSE ARE YOU TO YOUR EXIT?"/
/ "WHERE ALMOST THEIR WE CAN SEE OUTSIDE!"/
/ "ALRIGHT WE'LL MEET UP WITH YOU ON THE GROUND! IRONHIDE OUT" /
"So what's the plan Sunny?"
"Jump off this floating boat and aim for Jetstorm and if he's not their we comm Ratchet to space bridge us on the ground"
Barricades and Knockout helms whipped back from shock of what the yellow warrior had said.
"IS THAT EVEN A THING!? Knockout!?" Barricade stared at knockout in disbelief.
"I- I DON'T KNOW! IT'S NEVER BEEN TRIED! Or at least I haven't tried it"
"Yea Ironhide said that two, and today where the test subjects."
"WHATEVER! LOOKS ITS BETTER THEN BEING ON THE SHIP" Barricade looked back at the twins.
Sideswipe smiled devilishly at the cop. "Glad you think that cause where about to jump!"
Just as the four where about to jump the ship exploded causing the nemesis to nose dive downwards, and seeing as their exit was at the back of the ship standing was no longer an option. Sunstreaker somehow was close enough to the exit that he manage to grab ahold of the edge. His free servo holding on to Sideswipe. Sideswipe had a hold on Knockout and Knockout had barricade. Whose arms were full with holding on to a drugged up Bumblebee.
The blaring sirens yelled and roared to evacuate the ship. "SCRAP! SIDESWIPE"
"YEA!?"
"IS YOUR COMM ON!?"
"NO! WHY?"
"scrap, LOOK HERES THE PLAN! USE YOUR DOOR WINGS TO ACTIVTAE MY COMM!"
"WHAT!?"
"JUST DO IT!"
Sideswipe did as told and activated his brothers comm link; it took a few tries but he manage to do it. "THEIR ITS ON!"
/ "RATCHET CAM IN YOU! CAN YOU HEAR ME!?"/
/ Loud and clear Sunstreaker!"/
/ "GOOD THIS IS WHAT I NEED YOU TO DO! OPEN A BRIDGE DIRECTLY UNDER ME! HAVE IT LEAD DIRECTLY TO THE GROUND AND TELL IRONHIDE AND THE OTHER TO GET OFF!/
/Alright get ready!"/
"Uh Sunstreaker you might want to speed thing up because here comes Megs!" Barricades heavy voice carried just enough for Sunstreaker to hear him.
/RATCHET! NOW WOULD BE NICE!/ The swirling light green space bridge opened right under barricade and Sunstreaker let go. As the five fell through the bridge Megatron grew closer to them. Luckily not close enough to make it through the bridge its self. Just as fast as they fell into the space bridge they were throw right out. They hit the ground like a bunch of 100 ton bricks. Barricade bounced out first tucking and rolling to keep Bumblebee from getting hurt again. Next was Knockout, then Sideswipe and last was Sunstreaker; all compiled on top of each other in a tangled mess.
Sunstreaker rolled off the dog pile of bots and pulled sideswipe up. Knockout made her way to her peds as she aided with Cade and Bee. The four stood there watching the nemesis literally fall out of the sky in flames.
"Hey Sunny you think the team made it out ok?"
"They better have!"
"Sunny look is that one of the Con Jet twins?"
Barricade looked at the sky to see what the lambo twins where talking about. Then he saw it, two streams of white smoke dashing through the sky. "No its not, the smoke streams are too small to belong to Skyquake or Dreadwing"
"You think it's one of ours? Maybe one of the Jet twins."
"Ironhide did mention Jetstorm being somewhere around here. We'll find out soon enough because here 'it' comes."
Right behind them a space bridge opened up, causing all four bots to turn around. Waiting to see who came out of it. Would it be Autobot or would it be Decepticon? Only moments after opening the crew came face to face with the first bot.
"PROWL!" Sideswipes had never been so happy to see the black and white mech.
"Glad to see you two are alright."
Barricade and knockout had stepped back and hid behind the lambo twins. Good thing the lambos were taller than them.
Next out or the bridge was Jazz, Mirage, Ironhide and last but not least Optimus Prime. As the bridge closed one more bot transformed and landed right behind prime.
"I am to being of glad that Lambo twins are okay!" Jetstorms variety blue and black paint and bright blue visors peaked from behind Optimus.
Sunstreaker crossed his arms and just shook his helm so you were the bot that was heading towards us.
"Yes that was to being of me!" Jetstorms smiled at the idol yellow warrior.
"I am glad to see that you two are safe and sound" Optimus voices silenced the small commotion.
Sunnys purple blue optics cut over to his leader with his casual frown and unhappy expression. "Glad you showed up when you did Optimus, things were getting messy."
"You should be thanking sideswipe, he is the one who sent out that call."
"YOU MEAN YOU ACTUALLY GOT THAT!? HOLY SCRAP HAHAHAHA. I didn't think you heard a word of what I was saying."
"I received most of the message, but I must ask, was bumblebee not on board the nemesis with you?"
"Turns out she was, matter of fact she's right bes- where he go?" Sideswipe looked at Sunstreaker who motioned his helm behind the both of them. Sides nodded his helm and the twins stepped off in separate directions revealing Knockout, Barricade and a drugged up Bumblebee.
Ironhide immediately got on the defensive side as his cannons reeved to life. "WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE!?" Ironhide tone was nothing more than sheer anger.
"Put it away Hide." Sunstreaker arm unfolded and his optics remained locked on the weapons specialist.
"Give me one good reason why I should Sunstreaker!" Ironhide's cannons was aimed right at Barricade and Knockout. He completely ignored the fact the Barricade was holding Bumblebee in his arms.
Barricade and Knockout didn't make a move or sound. However Barricades facial expression showed that he was challenging the old weapon specialist, daring him to shoot him. If he didn't have Bumblebee in his arms then his reaction to this whole situation would be different, but at the moment he was focus on defending bumblebee from the angry mech. This isn't the first time he had defend Bumblebee from Ironhide.
Sideswipe stepped in between the two. "Calm down Ironhide if it wasn't for these two then we wouldn't have gotten off of that ship.
"So they did one good thing doesn't mean they are worth defending!"
"Calm down old friend, Its best to hear them out. Though I must say I am not shock to see these two standing in front of us."
Ironhide cannons powered down as his arm retreated back to his sides. However Sideswipe kept his place between the two. "What do you mean you're not surprised to see em here Prime!?"
"I have know these two for quite some time, they asked to join the Autobots ages ago."
Ironhide, Prowl, Mirage and Jetstorms where the only ones shocked by this news. Sunstreaker looked at all the shocked bots expressions. (That's odd, why isn't Jazz shocked by that news?)
"Prime you're not seriously going to let em join are you!?" Ironhide stared at Optimus in disbelief.
"Indeed I am, though they must be kept in our prison cell until further actions can be put in to play."
"Errr fine whatever. Just don't come crawling to me when they stab ya'll in da back."
"You must remember Ironhide old friend that all bots have the potential to change. They took their first step by helping the twin off that ship."
"I gotta agree with prime, I mean they took a pretty big gamble doing what they did. Breaking them out of their cell to almost getting caught by old Megs. So I'm down with 'em joinin'." Jazz smiled at the two cons, happy to see them once again.
Mirage finally decided to talk about the whole Barricade and Bumblebee thing that everyone ignored. "Okay I can't be the only who sees Bumblebee in Barricade arms am I!?"
Jazz patted Mirage on his back strut, nearly knocking him off his peds. "Don't 'cha worry bout Bee Raj, Trust an believe she'll be fine." a big smile stretched a crossed her face plate happily.
"You creep me out sometimes Jazz."
"Aw why!?"
"Because you just do!"
"aw, but RAAAAAAAAAAAJ!" Jazz hugged Mirage and nuzzled her helm in his chestplate, while whining and pouting playfully.
"NO STOP IT! PROWL GET YOUR GIRLFRIEND!?"
"I'd rather not."
"COME ON PROWL!? DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!" His black claws pointing at Jazz who was still attached to his chestplate.
Prowl just smiled and turned his attention to Prime. "Shall we return back to base sir?"
Prime just smiled at Jazz and Mirage playfulness. "Yes, I'll comm Ratchet to bridge us all back."
/Ratchet./
/ DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG WE HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR FROM ANY OF YOU! WE WERE STARTING TO THINK THAT YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT!/
/Forgive me Ratchet for not easing you and everyones worries sooner. We had a small issue to handle./
/what kind of issues? Is everyone alright? Whose hurt!?/
/ only one that would need to get checked out would be Bumblebee. Possible the twins, but honestly they look okay./
/just because those idiots look okay does not mean that they are okay! Their could be internal damage that can't be seen by Cybertronian optic! Further more-/
Optimus just stood and listen to his medic as he went on a full scale medical rant. He couldn't help but smile at his old friend rant. (Something will never change, I can say that I am glad for that.) Prime shook his helm knowing that he would have to tell ratchet of their newest members. /"I'm sorry Ratchet for not informing you before, but we have a small issue that needs to be settle before you bridge us back."/
/ "And what would that be?"/
/ "We have two new members joining the Autobot and I need you to prepare a cell for them until things settle down. I know for a fact that the others won't take to kindly to seeing these two."/
/ "Who are they Optimus?"/
/ "Barricade and….Knockout" / Optimus paused for a moment knowing the history of the two medics.
The line went quiet for a moment before ratchet replied to Optimus. / "Orion, are you sure about this?"/ Ratchet voice became unsteady and a bit nervous.
/ "Yes, I am ratchet."/ Ratchet became silent again over the comms, releasing a heavy sigh from his vents. Optimus could sense the weariness from ratchet.
/ "Alright Orion, we'll be setting up the holding cell for the both of them." /
/ "Thank you ratchet."/
/ "yea yea, im opening a bridge back to base as we speak."/
*End Comm*
"What now prime. We aren't seriously going to take these two back are we?
"Indeed we are Ironhide, an as they know they will be place in cell until this whole ordeal is straighten out amongst the other."
"Once we get back you two will need to explain how all of this happened. Understood?" Prowl added to primes statement but his commentary was for the twins. The twins nodded their helms at the Prowl in silence. " As for you Barricade…"
"Yea?" His tones strong, but confused.
"Hand Bumblebee to one of the twins, now."
Barricade hesitated for a moment, but did as told handing the scout to the towering yellow warrior. He watched as the warrior cradled her unconscious frame close to his. Her helm rested comfortably against his shoulder. Just as Sunstreaker finally settled Bumblebee in his arms the space bridge open catching his attention.
"Prowl…" Optimus optic locked on to Prowl gold visors as the Oreo cop simply nodded knowing what prime wanted him to do.
Prowl made his way behind Barricade pulling his servos behind his back and hand cuffing him. He did the same thing for Knockout.
"HEY! Easy! No need to be rough."
"You'll be fine Knockout."
"Could you at least loosen them up a bit?"
"No"
"Not even a-"
"No means no. That's final" he left knockout and made his way back beside Prime and Jazz as they made their way through the space bridge. The lambos followed pursuit with bumblebee in their care. The cons were pushed forward by Ironhides canons.
"I swear you make one move and I'll make sure it's your last con." Ironhides voice was heavy and stern. It was obvious that he wasn't joking, not even the slightest.
The two cons looked at the weapons specialist angrily.
"Move it!"
The two hesitated for a moment, but did as told, as they also had Jetstorm and Mirage behind them. Though they weren't being violent towards them at all. However you could tell they were keeping a close eye on them as well as Ironhide. They all made their way through the space bridge in pure silence.
