Jack was sitting on Arcee's motorcycle form with his helmet on in the desert, next to a stop sign, she revved her engine.
Arcee: Tighten your grip, Jack.
she started accelerating forward at a high speed catching Jack off guard as she did a wheelie. Jack didn't know why Arcee was in a better mood today, remembering the short argument they had last night.
Jack: Hey, what's with you, Arcee?
Arcee: Thought you might actually enjoy the ride if you weren't getting shot at.
Jack: Oh, bring it.
From another area, Bulkhead was in his alternate mode with Miko inside him.
Miko: Ready... Set...
Bulkhead: Um, Miko, I'm supposed to be protecting you.
Bulkhead didn't want to go down the hill, due to Miko's well-being. However, Miko tried to convince him.
Miko: Bulkhead, I'm strapped tight inside 10 tons of metal muscle. I'm protected.
Bulkhead, after being convinced to Miko, drove down the hill, much to Miko's excitement.
At a part of the desert, Bumblebee, in his vehicle mode, was playing video games with Raf inside of him. Raf was close to winning, but Bumblebee knocked him off the race track. Raf saw this and complained, since he never lost in a racing game before.
Raf: Aww!
Bumblebee: (Ha, I win!)
Raf: No fair, Bee. You've drove longer than I have.
Back at the site where Cliff and the deceased Prowl battled the Cons, Cliffjumper was doing target practice, with Sonic, who was being the target. Tails, on the other hand, was working on his bi-plane.
Sonic: Come on, Cliff! You can do better than that!
Sonic dodged another shot from Cliffjumper, who smirked.
Cliffjumper: You want the horns, Sonic? You got them!
Cliffjumper fired multiple shots at Sonic, who dodged and evaded most of them, until finally getting hit. Luckily, he blocked the attack so he wouldn't get hurt too much.
Sonic: Not bad, Cliff.
Cliffjumper: Thanks, Sonic. I'm surprised you can move that fast.
Sonic: Thanks.
They both smiled at each other until Cliff gotten serious.
Cliff: We should head back to base.
Sonic: Got it. Just let me see what Tails is doing.
Sonic sped off to get to his friend, while Cliffjumper transformed into his dodge challenger mode, waiting for Sonic and Tails. Back with Sonic, he sees Tails, almost done fixing his bi-plane.
Sonic: Wow, Tails. Can't believe you've built a workshop and a house in one night.
Tails: Thanks.
Sonic: So, are we good to go?
Tails put the last finishing touches on his bi-plane.
Tails: Yep! Since we still have the emeralds and my plane is fixed, we can use their energy to return to our world.
Sonic: Cool!
However, while celebrating, they both look at Cliffjumper in his vehicle mode, waiting for them. As much as they want to return home, they had a lot of fun here. They also know that the Autobots need help to battle the Decepticons.
Sonic: You know... Going back home can wait. Besides, I'm sure Shadow, Knuckles, and the others can beat Eggman without us.
Tails: Hmm, true.
Back in the Autobot Base, inside the main ops center, the only occupant present was Ratchet. The medic/scientist stood by a lab table, examining the sample of the purple goo, the same he removed from Arcee, through a specialized microscope.
Ratchet: Thank Primus for peace and quiet. House guests can be such a bother.
Suddenly, Ratchet's attention was grabbed by the sound of metal hitting the ground. He brought up his helm and turned it from right to left, looking around his lab area. After seeing nothing unusual, Ratchet shrugged his shoulders, passing it off as nothing, before averting his attention back to the task at hand.
Without warning, he heard the sounds of metal skittering across the floor, this time it sounded close.
Ratchet: Optimus?
As the old medic turned around, he was met with quite a shock. The same grappler tool that Bulkhead had crushed was skittering towards him across the floor like an insect. It was using its six servo appendages as legs while the vibrant purple center appeared to be an optic.
Ratchet: By the All Spark!
The spider-like tool jumped in the air, intending to land on Ratchet's face. But he quickly ducked, causing the possessed tool to fly right by him. It landed on the catwalk above his lab, and let out a metallic hissing sound.
It then jumped on Ratchet's work table, attempting to attack him again. However, Ratchet hastily grabbed a metal rob and landed a direct hit on the grappler. The spider-like tool recovered swiftly and scurried across the work table, easily dodging Ratchet's blows.
It came towards his microscope and used its razor-sharp appendages to promptly cut it in half, much to Ratchet's anger and disgust.
Ratchet: I needed that!
The hissing tool then leapt in the air, on a path straight to Ratchet's helm. Before it could though, a sudden blast of Energon hit the tool. Ratchet looked to his left to see Optimus standing there with his right Energon blaster deployed. The tool somehow survived the blast and regained its bearings.
Nevertheless, before it could cause any more damage, Optimus's giant boot-shaped foot slammed down on it, reducing it to scrap.
Ratchet: And stay broken. Now…what could've caused that?
Optimus looks at Ratchet before turning back to the broken tool.
Optimus: I have a grave suspicion, Ratchet... Dark Energon.
(Sonic the Hedgehog: Transformers Prime)
Flying high in Earth's stratosphere, amongst the morning clouds, was a dark, ominous warship that was none other than the Nemesis. Inside the room where the Dark Energon was stored, the warlord stood in front of the pillar that held the purple crystals.
Megatron exhaled a satisfied sigh of relief as the last of the Dark Energon shard he stabbed in his chest, was absorbed into his spark. The former gladiator couldn't help but grin sadistically as he felt amazing, raw, dark power course through his veins.
Starscream cautiously stepped forward, still wary of his master. After all, he was shaking rapidly and yelling violently mere minutes ago.
Starscream: Um... Lord Megatron?
Megatron: It's as if the blood of Unicron the Destroyer… flows through my veins; as if… I hear his very thoughts.
He then reached out and plucked another shard of the amethyst matter.
Megatron: I now know what I must do.
Starscream: And... what can I do to assist you, master?
Megatron looked at Starscream while walking out of the Nemesis.
Megatron: Quit grovelling… and await my command.
Megatron then flew out of the warship in his alternative mode, heading to an unknown location.
The seeker continued to stare on with obvious scorn as Megatron disappeared into the clouds. Somehow, Starscream felt like someone was behind him. He glanced back and was startled to see Soundwave standing there, but calms down in a few seconds.
Starscream: Soundwave! I fear that when our master reached for the stars, he came down with a case of space madness. Lord Megatron has not been of sound judgment since his return from hyperspace.
He then turned around to face his ally.
Starscream: Increase global surveillance.
Soundwave then played a record of Megatron telling to wait for his next orders once he returns.
Soundwave: Quit grovelling… and await my command.
Starscream: I'm not deaf! But…if Optimus Prime lives, I believe it is in Lord Megatron's best interest that we ensure his enemies…destruction.
He then smiles sinisterly.
Back in the command center of the Autobot Base, Optimus and Ratchet were engaged in a conversation. They gathered up the remains of the crushed tool and placed it in a glass canister.
Optimus: If the residue found on Arcee brought your broken equipment to life, then it stands to reason… that the very same substance brought Prowl… back from the dead.
Ratchet placed a servo on his metallic chin as he contemplated the scenario. He discovered that it did make sense, but there was something else.
Ratchet: Hmm…that would account for Prowl's life signal inexplicitly coming back online… but… Dark Energon? It's so scarce, it might as well non-existent. What would it be doing on Earth?
Optimus: It was transported here... By Megatron.
Ratchet: For what purpose?
Optimus: To conquer this world by raising an army of the undead.
Ratchet was silent for a moment as he absorbed this information. He then let out a chuckle.
Ratchet: Well…Megatron will have to bring quite a few toaster ovens. I mean, where… on this world… would Megatron find that many Cybertronian dead?
However, Optimus didn't answer as he could hear the familiar engine sounds of Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Cliffjumper returning from Jasper, with Jack, Raf, Miko, Sonic, and Tails in tow. The mobians and the kids got out of the autobots' vehicle modes so they can transform into their robot modes.
Jack: That was awesome!
Raf: Can we do it again?
Miko: Sweet!
Tails: Amazing!
Sonic: Cool!
That's when Bulkhead got Miko's guitar-pocket out of his robot mode. Cliffjumper did the same with the Chaos Emeralds.
Miko: Sorry. Must have left it at the back seat.
Sonic: Same here. Sorry, Cliff.
Cliffjumper: It's fine, Sonic. What are they though?
Before he could answer, Optimus went up to the Autobots.
Optimus: Autobots, prepare to...
He looked down at Sonic, Tails, and the kids before turning to Arcee who got his attention.
Arcee: Roll out?
Optimus: Remain here.
Optimus turns to Ratchet before going back to Arcee's attention.
Optimus: Ratchet, you'll come with me. Arcee, we'll be out of communications range for quite some time. So I'm putting you in charge.
Miko looks at Bulkhead.
Miko: Dude, you're biggest. You should be the boss.
Bulkhead: Uh, he never picks.
Before Optimus could leave with Ratchet, Arcee objects.
Arcee: Optimus, with all due respect, playing bodyguard is one thing, babysitting's another!
Jack groaned and walked to another direction while Arcee continues talking to Prime.
Arcee: Besides, Ratchet hasn't been in the field since the war.
Ratchet looked at Arcee as he typed in a set of coordinates on the terminal.
Ratchet: My pistons may be rusty but my hearing is sharp as ever!
Sonic and Tails giggled.
Optimus: For the moment, it is only reconnaissance.
Arcee: Then why do I feel an edge in your voice?
Optimus: Arcee, much has changed in the last twenty-four hours, and we all need to adapt.
The Autobot leader then turned his attention to his medic.
Optimus: Ratchet, bridge us out.
Ratchet pulled down the lever, activating the groundbridge in a swirling mass of colours. The two metal titans leisurely proceeded into the tunnel and then vanished.
Jack rubbed his neck sheepishly as he then focused his gaze on Arcee.
Jack: So chief…what's on the activities list?
Sonic, Tails, Raf, and Miko also looked at Arcee for her answer, However, Arcee, who wanted to get out of 'babysitting', thought of another idea.
Arcee: I'm going on patrol.
She proceeded to the tunnel, until Bulkhead stopped her, reminding her of Optimus' rule.
Bulkhead: But Optimus told us to stay.
Arcee: When you're in charge, you can call the shots.
Arcee turns around to see Bumblebee and Cliffjumper.
Arcee: Bee, Cliff, with me.
Bumblebee glanced at Raf before he slump his shoulders and walked to Arcee.
Bumblebee: (Aww!)
Cliffjumper looks at Sonic and Tails before leaving.
Cliffjumper: Sorry, guys. We'll be back.
Sonic: Okay, Cliff.
Tails: See ya!
Arcee, Bumblebee, and Cliffjumper stepped towards the tunnel, preparing to transform and roll out.
Arcee: Bulkhead, you're in charge.
They then went into their vehicle modes and stormed down the long pathway. Bulkhead stared at the exit for a short second before returning his optics to Jack, Raf, Miko, Sonic, and Tails.
Bulkhead: So…what's on the activities list?
Suddenly, Sonic jumped down from the platform and landed in front of Bulkhead.
Sonic: How about we spar?
Tails: Sonic, I don't think that's a good idea.
Bulkhead: He's right. I'm not so sure Optimus would like it if I sparred with you, Sonic.
Sonic: Alright. So... What else can we do?
That's when Miko pulled out her guitar and made sounds with it, making Bulkhead winced and Sonic, Tails, Jack, and Raf to cover their ears.
Miko: How about... band practice?
Tails: But we're not a band.
Miko: Come on, Tails. Don't be anti-social. Come on, you play anything?
Tails: Well... I do make sounds from my inventions I create.
Tails showed her his 'Miles Electric'.
Miko: A DJ. Nice.
She turns her attention to Sonic.
Miko: What about you, Sonic?
Sonic: I once had a guitar in the old days, but I still got some moves.
Miko: Breaking-dancing. Sweet.
She then turns to the youngest.
Miko: Raf? Got anything?
Raf holds my his laptop.
Raf: Um... keyboard?
Miko: Laptops and samples. Good.
She then turned to the oldest teenager.
Miko: Jack?
Jack: I sometimes mess around on the harmonica.
Miko: Do I look like I do country? Just cover yourself in fake blood and jump around screaming.
Jack: Uh...
Before Jack could say anything, Miko turns to Bulkhead.
Miko: Bulkhead, percussion. We'll go for a big industrial sound. D.I.Y, we're a band. You just got to learn the songs. This one's a ballad, My fist, your fist.
Miko started playing hard rock on her instrument, getting into it immediately. Everyone flinched as they covered their ears/audio receptors as she played. That's when Bulkhead noticed the proximity alarm.
Bulkhead: Woah, whoa, whoa!
Miko: Come on. You can't handle raw power?
Bulkhead: Proximity sensor. Quick, hide!
Sonic, Tails, and the kids hid behind Bulkhead's leg. That's when the elevator doors opened, revealing an angry Fowler towards Bulkhead.
Fowler: PRIME!
Bulkhead: Agent Fowler, he's not here. No one's here, except for me, of course.
Bulkhead lied, while chuckling a bit. However, Fowler was the opposite right now.
Fowler: Well, where did he go? Wait. Don't tell me. He's out pancaking a mini mall. Now I don't know what language you bots speak on your planet, but Prime promised he would handle the Decepticons, and blowing a crater in the middle of Nebraska is not what the word 'handle' mean in English.
While Fowler was talking, Bulkhead accidentally stepped on Miko's guitar and the speaker. Sonic, Jack, Tails, and Raf saw this, and tried to help Miko while Bulkhead try to remain calm and casual as the speaker started making noises.
Fowler: So you tell Prime...
That's when he saw Miko's speaker and a pair of two tails down below.
Fowler: Since when you bots electric and have pets?
Bulkhead knew that the cover was blown, so he let the human kids, Sonic, and Tails reveal themselves to the special agent.
Jack: Hey. How you doing?
Fowler: Contact with civilians! Team Prime has really gone off book this time. Wait, don't tell me. You're running a daycare and pet center.
Bulkhead didn't know what to say.
Bulkhead: Um... Okay.
Jack: Yeah, we're interns.
Raf: Student interns.
Jack: Uh, earning extra credits in auto shop.
Miko: Robotics.
Miko walks up to Sonic and Tails, hugging the duo.
Miko: And these two are my adorable pets.
Tails gave her a look while Sonic tried to do a cat impression.
Sonic: Um... Meow?
Fowler wasn't amused nor happy about this.
Fowler: Okay, Bot, you can have those two, but I'm taking these three to federal custody. It's for their own protection.
Bulkhead stomped his foot between Fowler and the children, while Sonic and Tails backed up.
Bulkhead: We're protecting them.
Fowler: Is that so?
Fowler then walks over to a phone and grabs it.
Fowler: Well, maybe you could explain that to my superiors at the Pentagon.
Bulkhead: Don't use that phone. It's... out of order.
Bulkhead stopped Fowler from answering by placing his finger into the phone booth, breaking the phone and making Fowler more angry in the progress.
Fowler: This isn't over, big lut, not by a long shot!
He walked back up the stairs and exited the base using the elevator. Bulkhead looked down at Sonic, Tails, and the kids with a worried expression.
Meanwhile in a remote region, Optimus and Ratchet were walking down a pathway.
Ratchet: Optimus, what do we hope to find here?
Optimus: The site of the largest Cybertronian battlefield in this galaxy.
Ratchet: On Earth? You must be joking.
Optimus: Do you recall the period late in the war when both sides began hiding their energon spoils off world?
Ratchet: Of course, it's the reason Energon deposits exist on planets such as this one.
Optimus: It is also the reason battles came to be waged on planets such as this one, and I fear Megatron's memory is as long as history. Anyway this graveyard we're going to isn't common knowledge, only the higher ups of the Autobot and Decepticons knew about it.
Back at the rooftop of the Autobot base, Fowler began to fly a Huey helicopter off of the helipad of the Autobots base and flew away and activated a message to one of his superiors.
Fowler: Sir, this is Agent Fowler. We have a situation. I'm en route from the Autobot base. I'll brief you in person.
Meanwhile, back with the Decepticons, Soundwave suddenly received a recording of Fowler of what he just said.
Soundwave: Agent Fowler. I'm en route from the Autobot base. I'll brief you in person.
When Scream heard the recording, he hatched a dark plan.
Starscream: Autobot base, Eh? Humans, always the weak link. Fetch me this Fowler so that he may brief us instead.
Soundwave suddenly deployed his Mini-Con Laserbeak from his torso to fetch Agent Fowler.
As Fowler was flying his helicopter, his helicopter's alarm started blaring, as it's tracking system noticed Laserbeak chasing him.
Fowler: Hey big bird, I'm flying here! What in Uncle Sam's beard?
Laserbeak appeared in front of the helicopter.
Laserbeak tried to clip the helicopter's tail, which Fowler tilted the helicopter up to avoid the attack,
Fowler: First the freeways aren't safe, now air travel?
Next, Laserbeak flew at the helicopter scratching the paint, causing the helicopter to tilt a bit. He soon reached a dead end as a rock wall was in front of the helicopter and he flew upwards. Laserbeak followed him and soon Laserbeak was in front of Fowler.
Fowler: You want to dance, 'Con? I'll lead.
He pressed a button on the control stick and he began shooting at Laserbeak with bullets from the helicopter which wasn't even denting him. But soon the gun started to make a clicking sound as it was out of ammo and Laserbeak flew upwards and clipped the helicopter's tail.
Fowler: Never need an Autobot around when you actually need one.
Fowler said as the helicopter's alarm started blaring as the helicopter began to spin out of control as it began to fall.
As he tried to gain control of the helicopter, Laserbeak broke the window and grabbed him, but not before pressing a button to send an SOS to the Autobot base and soon the helicopter fell to the ground and blew up.
In the Autobot base, the same alarm started blaring again. Tails and Raf were covering their ears.
Tails: That annoying alarm.
Raf: My ears.
Sonic then asked about the alarm.
Sonic: What is it?
Bulkhead walked up to the computer and saw the message from Fowler.
Bulkhead: It's an SOS... From Fowler.
Bulkhead tried to scan the location, but since he's not a scientist like Ratchet, this would be confusing and hard for him. After trying, the scan went incomplete.
Raf: Did you trace it?
Bulkhead: Location scan was incomplete. Oh, well.
Bulkhead walks away, only to be stopped by Sonic and Jack.
Sonic: Oh, well?
Jack: Seriously?
Bulkhead turns around at their attention.
Bulkhead: Fowler's a jerk.
The blue hedgehog's eyes widen at the former wrecker's selfish statement.
Sonic: Woah! You can't just leave him behind!
The others agree with Sonic's words.
Jack: Yeah, whether you like the guy or not, the Decepticons may have him.
Tails: And Agent Fowler knows your location.
Raf then gulped.
Raf: Our location.
Miko: And did we not just witness how fast Fowler backs down from a bot. The 'Cons will totally make him squeal.
Bulkhead: But we lost the transmission! Fowler could be anywhere!
Raf: Maybe I can narrow it down.
Getting an idea and holding his laptop, he sat down, flipped it open and started typing, while Tails watches him do it.
Raf: About five years ago, the government started microchipping their Agents, you know, like owners do with pets. They all looked at him with confusion as he began typing on his laptop.
Raf: What? I saw it on TV. Anyway If I can jack into the fed's mainframe, maybe I can pinpoint Fowler's coordinates.
Sonic: You know how to hack?
Miko: But you like... two years old.
Raf: Twelve... and a quarter.
On the Nemesis, The Vehicons were taking Fowler to Starscream, inside an interrogation room
Starscream: Welcome… Agent Fowler.
Fowler brushes the dust off his coat while looking at the decepticon Seeker.
Fowler: You treat all your guests this nice?
Starscream chuckles when he said that.
Starscream: Any friend of the Autobots…
Fowler: Autobot? That one of them coin-operated, wash-my-own-car places?
Starscream: So that's how it's going to be,hmm? Apparently, no one has told you I have no appreciation for Human humor. Make our guest comfortable.
The Vehicons came closer to Fowler, who had a worried expression on his face.
Back at the Autobot base Raf has finally located Agent Fowler.
Raf: Latitude 39.5, Longitude -116.9.
With help from Raf and Tails, Bulkhead was able to enter the coordinates in the computer. He then activates the Ground Bridge. Before he could leave, Sonic got his attention.
Sonic: Anything Tails and I can do to help? You could use some back-up.
Bulkhead: Nope, it's too risky. Stay and wait with the others.
Sonic: Alright, you're the boss.
Miko: Aww, don't break up the band!
Bulkhead went towards the portal before turning around to face the human trio, Sonic, and Tails.
Bulkhead: Uh, Jack, you're in charge.
He then turned back to the portal and ran towards it, disappearing into the blue light.
Jack: Looks like the five of us of the run of the place.
Sonic: Yeah.
That's when Jack was looking around and couldn't see Miko.
Jack: Miko? Miko?
Tails glanced around, also realizing that Miko was gone. To make sure however, Tails scanned the base with his 'Miles Electric', only to find that she's not around. When Tails gave them a knowing look, it didn't long for them to realize where Miko had disappear to.
Sonic: She didn't..
Tails: She did.
The Ground Bridge portal appeared somewhere near the desert of Nevada, Bulkhead jumps out.
Bulkhead: Fowler?
He then looked up and saw the Decepticon warship. He then ran towards a boulder to hide as he saw a Vehicon patrolling the area. The Vehicon walked past the boulder the Autobot was hiding at.
Miko: All right! What's the plan?
He heard Miko say and saw her behind a nearby boulder.
Bulkhead: Miko!
She looked around when suddenly, a decepticon soldier noticed her and aims his blaster at her.
Miko: Ohh, unwise.
Bulkhead: Miko, get down!
She ran from the boulder, as the Vehicon fired at the boulder destroying it instantly. The Vehicon saw her run and aimed his blaster at the fleeing human, when Bulkhead clobbered the Vehicon and started punching him, his arm clashed with the vehicons's blaster, and he punched his face and the Vehicon scratched Bulkhead's paint which caused him to punch him really hard, and clobbered him again. Miko then picked up a rock.
Miko: Hold him still
She hit the Vehicon's head with the rock, and Bulk moved her out of the way.
Both Bulkhead and the Vehicon started battling each other by pushing against each other.
Bulkhead: Miko, look away!
Miko: But...
Bulkhead: Turn your head away! He started pulling the Vehicon's circuitry out of its chest, Miko watched this with awe.
Miko: Wow...
Meanwhile, somewhere in the desert, Arcee, Bumblebee, and Cliffjumper were driving down the road with Arcee having her holographic driver on. That's when Bulkhead contacted them.
Bulkhead: Arcee, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, can any of you read me?
Arcee: Loud and clear, Bulkhead.
Bulkhead: I have a situation.
Arcee: Bulkhead, they're children, humans. Just do whatever.
Bumblebee: (Actually, the other two are talking animals).
Cliffjumper: Either way, babysitting can't be that hard for you, Bulk.
However, when Bulkhead told them what's happening, the three Autobots put their brakes on, as their tires screeched the road.
Arcee: You're where? She's where?!
Back in the Autobot base, the four boys were now thinking of a plan of how to save Miko from danger.
Raf: What should we do? Bulkhead may not have even realized that she followed him.
Tails: Even though Bulkhead is the strongest autobot she has, he can't hold off those Decepticons on his own.
Jack: Miko hasn't seen the 'Cons in action like we had. She has no idea.
Sonic: Okay, then... Any ideas?
Tails and Raf walked up to the computer, typed on the keyboard together, and saw that the coordinates were still locked in.
Tails: Those are the coordinates.
Raf: Their destination's still locked in.
Jack: Um, Sonic, you're in charge.
Sonic was confused of why Jack would put him in charge. However, once he found out what he was doing, the blue hedgehog stopped him.
Sonic: Hold on, kid. You can't go there all by yourself! You could get yourself killed.
Jack: Look, I know it's a dumb idea, but Miko needs help. She could be hurt... Or worse.
Sonic: Hmm... Alright, but I'm coming with you.
Sonic then turns to Tails and Raf's attention.
Sonic: You two are in charge.
Raf: In charge of who?
Tails activates the Ground Bridge and sees Raf following Jack and Sonic. The blue Hedgehog looks at his two-tailed buddy.
Sonic: You coming, buddy?
Tails: You guys go ahead. I'll catch up.
Sonic nods and the trio goes through the portal. After this, Tails types on the computer to put the new coordinates so he could get to his newly-built workshop. Once he finished, he activates the Ground Bridge.
Tails: There. Now I can get to my workshop so I can get to my bi-plane. I just hope I'm not too late.
Tails then flies through the portal, disappearing in the process. Unbeknownst to him (or the rest of boys who already left), Arcee's voice sounded through the intercom from her com-link.
Arcee: Base, we need a bridge.
She received no reply.
Arcee: Jack? Jack, listen up! We need you to bridge us back.
Again, there was only silence.
Arcee: Hello?
Back with the Autobot trio, Arcee didn't got any reply from Jack or the others. She sighed and looked at Cliffjumper and Bumblebee.
Arcee: Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, pedal to the metal.
Cliffjumper: You got it, partner.
They then turned around and rolled out the road.
Back in the interrogation room on the Nemesis, Fowler was chained up as the Vehicon soldiers surrounded him and Starscream walked up to him.
Starscream: Agent Fowler, I have one simple request that will save your family the pain of grieving...
He then puts one of his fingers under Fowler's neck.
Starscream: Tell me the location of the Autobot base.
Fowler: No problem, but first I need to ask you something first.
Starscream: Yes? I'm listening.
Fowler: I got an issue with the customer service around here. Can I speak to the manager?
Starscream growls as he heard this.
Starscream: I make the decisions! I am in charge!
He turned towards the decepticon soldier.
Starscream: Bring the prod.
Back with Bulkhead and Miko, they hid behind another boulder. They were still waiting for Arcee, Cliffjumper, and Bumblebee.
Bulkhead: What's taking Arcee, Cliffjumper, and Bumblebee?
Miko: Dude, the 'Cons could be putting the clamps on Fowler right now. Let's just storm the joint!
Suddenly they heard a wielding sound as the Ground Bridge opened.
Bulkhead: They're here.
He expected the other Autobots to show up. Instead, Sonic, Raf, and Jack came out from the portal.
Miko: Why don't those guys hang with their own bots? This is our one-on-one time.
While Raf was walking with Jack and Sonic, he was rubbing his belly.
Raf: Whoa-Oh, Are your bones vibrating?
They then saw the Nemesis. Sonic couldn't believe how big it was.
Sonic: Woah. Talk about enormous! That ship is bigger than the Death Egg.
While walking, Steve, one of the decepticon soldiers noticed Sonic, Jack, and Raf.
Steve: You there!
The rest of the soldier pointed their blasters at them while Sonic went in front of the boys. Bulkhead and Miko knew this wouldn't end well.
Bulkhead and Miko: Scrap!
Back on the Nemesis, in the interrogation room, Starscream, who wasn't happy at the moment approached Fowler.
Starscream: I ask nicely one last time... The Autobot base.
Fowler: Sure thing buddy. Right after you eat my Star-Spangled shorts.
Starscream: Grrrr...
Starscream took out an Energon Prod and zapped at Fowler.
Fowler: AHHH!
Starscream: As I imagined. Energon and human nervous systems don't mix.
Back with Tails, he finally got out of the portal and saw his bi-plane, The Tornado. However, due to him having his first time going through the Ground Bridge, he almost threw up.
Tails: Ohhh... After this, I'm just going to stick to flying.
He then started running towards his plane and jumped right on it. Before he took off, he typed the previous coordinates he and Raf used to send Bulkhead so he can recuse Agent Fowler. Once he did, he took off.
Back with Optimus and Ratchet, they were still walking down the pathway, when they saw thousands of metallic bones. Ratchet looked at the bones of their fallen brethren.
Ratchet: For the first time in my life, Optimus, I had hoped you were wrong.
They suddenly heard the sound of a cybertronian jet fly by and immediately transformed, revealing the Decepticon leader himself... Megatron!
Megatron: Optimus, been well? I see you brought your trusty watchdog. I was certain he'd be convalescing in a scrapyard by now.
Ratchet then started pounding his together.
Ratchet: Why don't you invite him down for a chat?
Optimus: I know why you're here, Megatron.
Megatron: Hardly a surprise, Optimus. After all, you and I have been at this a long time, and your time has come to an end.
He took out the Dark Energon he took from the large crystal of Dark Energon from the Nemesis and threw it onto the ground in the middle of the graveyard, causing the ground to rumble and open apart. While Megatron's spark chamber flows with dark Energon, deceased cybertronians began breaking out of the ground, as Optimus and Ratchet watch in horror.
Megatron: Rise my dark Army!
Ratchet: By the AllSparks.
A few seconds later, a few more of the undead rose up from the ground and carried swords. The warlord looked down, while smiling evilly.
Megatron: Behold… the power of Dark Energon!
