"Bumblebee was taking the Smokescreen, Hotrode, and Moonracer a good idea on this search?" Ratchet asked walking beside his worried leader.
"Yes it's better than leaving them in charge of watching the territory" Bumblebee sighed sniffing the ground.
"True enough...you picking anything up?" Ratchet sighed walking with Bumblebee as the Smokescreen, Hotrode Mirage and Jazz ran past them.
"No nothing... maybe the boys did" Bumblebee suggested as Bulkhead walked up with Moonracer.
"I have not had a single scent yet" Bulkhead sighed reporting to Bumblebee.
"Hmm... Guys what's going on with you four" Bumblebee turned to the four young adult males.
"We've had his scent then lost it in the fog and wind" Jazz said pointing at the top of the foggy mountain where they where heading.
"Well that's a start, keep searching" Bumblebee announced to the small team of searchers.
"So where are we going? to the valley?" Sideswipe yiped playfully bowing and wagging his tail at the large skinny black wolf that sat infront of him.
"Alright pup, first of all there's new names to this territory, the valley is now death valley, and tall pines is now dead pines, and unless it's an emergency, the valley is always off limits hunters are always lurking around in there" Jetfire lowly growled at Sideswipe.
"Oh... ok" Sideswipe got up from his playful bow and waited for Jetfire to start leading him somewhere.
"Come let us go before something finds us" Jetfire said looking around warily, after hearing a tree branch rustle.
"Ok" Sideswipe followed Jetfire through the dead pines which used to be sunny and not dead and dry, no pine needles covered any of the branches all the trees were truly dead.
"Jetfire I'm thirsty, is there any water?" Sideswipe asked walking beside the tall black wolf.
"Yes but not here, it's going to be a little while before we get to a water source, wish it was winter then we wouldn't have to search..." Jetfire sighed as he walked and sniffed the ground.
"Why what's winter?" Sideswipe asked confused at what the old wolf was saying.
"You truly are a young pup aren't you" Jetfire chuckled smiling at Sideswipe.
"Winter is our season, when wolves take charge!, our prey is weakened and cold searching for food in the frozen landscape that is our home, those temperatures don't faze us at all we still stay as strong as we do any other season, the snow covers everything in it's path, it's a beautiful thing to watch floating down from the sky, the long hard winters are the favorite of wolves" Jetfire explained to Sideswipe with great enthusiasm.
"Wow when's that going to happen, I wanna see winter!" Sideswipe excitedly wagged his tail trotting beside Jetfire who chuckled at him.
"In time pup, the season is just around the corner" Jetfire chuckled hearing the branches rustle again.
