The candidates that were selected has been posted up on the board throughout cybertron, even though ratchet regrets half the decisions that were made, they had to do it for the sake of no other war uprising again. Seven autobots and seven decepticons to choose from, ratchet and optimus would watch as autobots and ex-decepticons would rally around the high council building and yell about for the decepticon candidates.

Ratchet sighs, "this was a terrible idea.." optimus placed a gentle servo on his shoulder as he brought ratchet close to his chassis, "I understand your concern.. but.. we have to, so that we can show cybertron that we do not discriminate those who used to be-" "against us.. i know, orion.. such a.. such an orion thing to do.." ratchet whispers before nuzzling closely to his lover, optimus smiled a little before nuzzling back, "i love you too, ratchet." Bee ran in, bursting through the doors and panted, "o-optimus- ratch-ratchet- there's a- on the street- gaahhhh- help!" Optimus and ratchet looked at each other before running over to bee, ratchet helped him vent a little better before bee began to lead them out of the high council tower and to the streets where policebots were holding the opposing sides back from breaking into a fight. Once the crowd saw optimus and ratchet they settled down a little until there was silence. Suddenly a mech popped up from the autobot side of the crowd, "optimus prime! Why would you let the decepticons up for a high council position?! They don't deserve it!" Most of the autobots shouted in agreement then a decepticon femme popped up, "you're the real cruel enemies here! Some of us are decent and reasonable enough! Why can't you just accept us!" Some of the decepticons shouted in agreement while a few others roared out in rage, the policebots were back to holding the opposing rioters as optimus and ratchet were taken back to the building by bumblebee.
"Primus- this.. is going to get out of servo real quick.." "it's gonna be a new war if you guys don't choose the high council wisely! I don't know how long we can hold them back.. although- I'd rather have any other con for high council instead of steeljaw- please don't pick steeljaw," with that, bee hugged them real quick before returning back to duty. Ratchet sighed, "this.. is going to be a long solar-cycle..."

Greencross was walking down the dark streets, there were protesters returning to their homes for the night. Although, something caught the corner of his visor, he looked over to see a big shadow but then it suddenly disappeared. The young mech hummed as he ventured towards the alleyway he saw the shadow had formed, once he was over there he saw no one but on the ground, there was some sort of green goops. He took out a small spoon-like utensil and scooped up the mysterious substance, he then placed it in his subspace before starting to head toward the medical center. He wondered if ratchet could take a look at this.

"Primus.. optimus, come take a look at these reports.." optimus looked over to ratchet's shoulder and saw the police reports on the datapad. "Oh my.. they had to beat the decepticons.. already many had been thrown in jail.." bumblebee walked in and huffed out as he set the datapads down on his desk, "yup.. they're riling up to try and start another war but luckily some of the cons don't want trouble anymore and is trying to help us." "To primus and back- how many cons are jailed right now?" "At least over five hundred.." bumblebee replies as ratchet vents, "if the cons do make it seem like we're the real bad guys, then-" "I understand.. we must select the high council wisely." Optimus says as he rubbed his face with a servo. "Orion.. you're tired.." "I'll be fi-" once optimus saw the look ratchet gave him, he sighed, "alright, alright.. but-" "ep, ep, ep! Let me take care of it." "But-" "orion pax, don't make me make it into a doctor's order and have bumblebee confine you to a stasis pod." Optimus let out a sigh, "are you sure..? I mean, i-" before he could finish he shut his dermas right when ratchet gave him that infamous glare, optimus looked to bee and he gave a nod. The prime let out a vent as he got up, "i want you in bed with me before i wake up then." Ratchet smiled softly, "don't worry.. I'll be there, now shoo. You too, bumblebee. You need recharge as well." Bee gave a curt nod and walked out of his office with optimus. Ratchet watched them go before looking back down at the datapads and started getting back to work, but as he continued working around the clock there was an eerie feeling. Ratchet felt like someone was right behind him, staring down at his spark. He quickly grabbed the gun on the desk and turned around, aiming around the darkest corners of the room. Ratchet let out a shaky vent, "I'm-I'm just hallucinating.. there is.. there is nothing, no one.." he sighed, sitting back down on his chair and returning to looking at the datapads but then suddenly a strange green goop dropped down onto his arm from the ceiling. Ratchet jumped as he looked up but before he could react, he was already knocked out. A screech filled the empty police station as the kidnapper took ratchet.

Greencross made it to the medical center and walked up to the register, "hello- my designation's greencross, is senior chief medical officer, ratchet here?" "No, the last known whereabouts on where he is was over at a police station not so far from here. Where lieutenant bumblebee works." The femme says and the mech gave a nod, "thank you! Have a nice cycle." He says before leaving the medical center and running over to the police station.

Finally making it, he walked over to the entrance of the station to see the doors were open. The doors were dented as if someone busted the doors open, he then followed a trail of scratch marks that led all the way to bumblebee's office. He then spotted the same green goop he took from earlier, that's when it clicked. Something was wrong, and it seemed like ratchet was involved.
