Transformers Dark of the Moon

Rebuilding

Bumblebee and Mirage, sometimes called Dino, rolled up to the Department of Health and Human Services in Washington D.C. where soldiers opened a gate to a tunnel that led into NEST's new, secret Headquarters. "Bumblebee, report to bay 23. Arcee, bay 37 for weapons assessment." A voice said through the speakers throughout the base. NEST's old base back at Diego Garcia was now used by the Autobot's new allies, the Aerialbots, consisting of; Silverbolt, the leader, Breakaway, the enforcer, and Air Raid, the newest recruit. Lennox walked through the HQ, waving at Sideswipe and Mirage, who were talking. Sideswipe nodded at him while Mirage simply tried ignoring him, then walked away. "Still having 'human issues?" Lennox asked, "I know losing a friend is heartbreaking, but you gotta tell him we couldn't have saved Jolt." He then added. "Yeah, I know. I've been trying, but he just won't accept it." Sideswipe responded. "Well then I guess we'll just have to make him like us." Lennox jokingly said before walking away to Ironhide, who was receiving giant blaster from Que, also called Wheeljack. "This weapon is my perfect invention, Ironhide." Que said to the weapons specialist. "Right." Ironhide replied with glee. "Oo, what's the new 'toy'?" Lennox asked Que. "It's just Heavy Iron 2.0." The scientist answered. "Well, pair it up will the first and you got a great combo." Lennox suggested. "You know I already planned that." Ironhide remarked. Lennox continued his stroll through the base, passing by Chromia and Elita-1 who saluted at him, and Lennox saluted back. When he took his next step, he heard a voice, "Aye! Watch it!" It yelled. Lennox looked down to see the two small Decepticon-turned-Autobots Wheelie and Brains, "Sorry guys. I should pay attention more." Lennox apologized before walking away. "Obviously!" Wheelie added, irritated. "This is how you treat Autobots? We're on the same team." Brains joined in. Lennox then walked up to Optimus who was having a conversation with Ratchet, "Prime, we searched that abandoned Soviet base in Siberia. Strangely, we found a ton of hatchlings." Lennox apprised. "If there was anything of importance to the Soviets in there, I feel as if they wouldn't have left it." Optimus assured him. Que walked up to the group, "Oh, Prime, I almost forgot to tell you this, but I upgraded the blasters on your flight pack to have a self-destruct option in case you get into a sticky situation." The scientists informed him.

Lennox then walked back through the base a saw an old friend from the battle at Mission City. "Epps!" He yelled, getting his attention. They both smiled and gave each other a pound hug. "I'm so glad you decided to join NEST." Lennox continued. "Yeah, well, the army just didn't feel the same." Epps said, "Oh, also," Epps added while pointing at his rank symbol on his vest. "You're already a Sergeant! Impressive. I'm guessing it's because of your help back at Mission City." Lennox congratulated. They then both started talking while making their way around the base. "So, what did I miss? I remember hearing about Egypt and a bit of a scuffle in Shanghai." Epps asked. "That's about it. Nothing else really. We just go around the globe here and there when hearing about Decepticon attacks." Lennox answered as they entered into another room where they continued their conversation.

Cybertronian Assassin

In the sand plains of Namibia, Africa, the wildlife of Elephants, Zebras, Hyenas, etc. roamed around in herds as usual, when something caught their attention. A Mack semi-truck pulled up, stopping for a moment, before bits and pieces of it began moving all around it, transforming it. It went from a strange looking semi to the tall and frightening leader of the Decepticons, Megatron. He pulled a hood over his head to hide his scar across his right eye and let out a loud bellow, scaring away the zebras, while the elephants raised their trunks up at him in what he took as praising him. "All hail Megatron!" He slowly uttered. He leisurely made his way over to the small tent he called a base where Soundwave and Ravage greeted him. Megatron sat down on a ramshackle throne of junk and looked at three oil drums full of hatchlings demanding for food. "Now, don't be greedy my fragile ones." He said while holding his hand over them, sprinkling tiny chunks of whatever kind of food he found. Starscream flew over to the camp in his F-22 Raptor jet, transforming and stylishly spinning around before making contact with the desert ground, "My poor master, how it pains me to see you so wounded, so weak..." Starscream sarcastically said while rubbing his hands together. "Spare me, you gaseous sycophant! You know what you are told, which is nothing!" Megatron quickly and threateningly replied.
