               The next day, I was standing in the corner. The darkness hid me. I could barely hear their conversation. From what I could hear, Ratchet made Ultra Magnus a hand out of spare parts but it wasn't in any shape of a servo.

               Smokescreen said that the claw's gonna become Magnus's signature like The voicebox Ratchet "slapped" in Bee's throat. The bot did not take it too well. I couldn't understand him but I could tell he was mad.

           Fowler then ran in and announced "Prime!! We have trouble brewing! The cons staged a smash-and-grab at the Los Alamos Nuclear plant late last night and made off with 20 tons of control rods." Prime asks himself "What are the Decepticons looking to build?" The agent remarks "Dunno. But random question, what's the situation on MECH's old bot?" "Nemesis Prime?" Miko asks. The man remarks "Yeah, Prime's duplicate?" Optimus says "He is sorted out. He is no longer a threat to anyone anymore." Fowler responds "Great! I'm glad you got him out of the base! I couldn't trust him being here otherwise I'd have our men tear him down." I silently transformed and drove into a hiding spot quietly. The man left as Prime was saying "That's not what I meant—" he growls and looks around trying to find me. "Where did he wander to?" Arcee answers "Probably left last night. Good thing too." Optimus ignored her and asked his friend "Ratchet, have you seen him?" The medic answers "I have not seen him. He did mention last night that he might cause trouble.... Chances are, Arcee is right." Optimus roars his engine and vents. I wasn't sure why.

             Around an hour later of them talking about what to do, Fowler called back "Prime! It's cons again. In progress this time." Ratchet replies "Coordinates received, Agent Fowler!!" He starts the bridge and Magnus tries to go through but Ratchet stops him. Prime agreed to him staying at base.

         Optimus, BumbleBee, Arcee, Bulkhead, Smokescreen and Wheeljack were the ones to go through. Ratchet went to look at their signals and watch. Magnus walked over to the wall to wait. He saw me and walked over. "What are you doing here? I thought you left?" He asks. I respond "You don't need to tell anyone else..... I might leave anyhow. Just.... Let me power down." He understands and steps away. 

             I read their last coordinates and self bridge myself via the controller. I hide behind a building and look to the sky seeing a drone chasing Prime. Optimus tried to shoot it but was failing. I eject my blaster and took a careful shot and hit the side of it, along with its engine in a separate shot. It begins stalling and crashes into power lines a few meters away from me. I stand back and hide as the autobots go near the decepticon. They then take him through a groundbridge.

            I bridge back in secrecy and watch them from the same area. I just decided to hide and shut down for awhile.
