Transformers Prime: Tarn & Spectra

The dream

Around a Decepticon Justice Division headquarter, Cybertron...

5 years ago...

View of a recently built headquarters of the Decepticon Justice Division from the outside.

The place was quiet, not a single gust of wind, not even a single cybertronian. Two Autobots were trying to get as close to the headquarters as possible, swiping from place to place while remaining hidden. The one in the lead looked around to make sure they weren't attracting any unwanted attention, the second was carrying a big missile launcher on his back and when they moved to another place, he tried to run as fast as possible despite the launcher's weight.

"Are we close enough yet?" the Autobot carrier, getting more and more tired, asked. "That launcher's a real pain in the—"

"Shut up!" the leading Autobot interrupted. They both looked upward, as three seekers flew above them. Silence became omnipresent again.

"Are we close enough yet?" the Autobot carrier repeated.

"Twelve more meters and we are ready..."

"I can't believe they assigned us for that mission. This is suicide."

"They assigned us because you and I are the best Autobots for this kind of mission."

"Yeah, yeah, I know that, I've never had to carry something this heavy during a mission, especially not a missile launcher, and we are targeting a DJD headquarters, or better said, the Decepticon Justice Division itself! We both know what our fate will be if the DJD survives the missile!"

"Quiet! I hear something coming! This way!"

The two Autobots hid behind a broken wall. A spaceship arrived and landed beside the headquarters. It was the Peaceful Tyranny.

"That's the DJD's ship!" the Autobot carrier said.

"From where we are, a perfectly-placed shot will not only blow up the headquarters, but also the ship."

"Oh dear, now I love that plan!"

The ship's main entrance opened, and out of it came Tarn, Vos, Helex, Tesarus, Kaon and Nickel.

"That's the DJD!" the carrier saw.

"Quick, the launcher! " the other said.

The DJD entered one of the headquarters' rooms, which was wide with empty glass shelves and a big table in the center.

Tarn and the other members entered the room. Tarn opened a glass box and puts inside a green glowing shard of Energon. He then took a look at the room.

"Look at that," he said "Isn't it beautiful?"

"I would say incredible," Tesarus said while placing 'trophies' of past victims on every glass shelf, as Helex, Kaon Vos did, "it was time we needed a firm place to interrogate victims."

"Thanks," Tarn replied, "now, let's talk about... Bumblebee..."

The rest of the members went quiet. Tarn saw a worried expression on some of their faces, and he smiled, despite knowing the smile was hidden by the mask.

"B-Bumblebee?" Kaon asked, "Him?"

"Yes," Tarn answered , "Last time, I assigned all of you to capture him while I was meeting with Megatron, and yet I don't see any yellow, damaged Autobot scout among you?

He spoke those last words with a serious and bothered tone. The others knew that he disliked this.

"I am very, very disappointed," Tarn continued, "Especially about that failure. How is it possible that none of you got him?"

"It's..." Vos said, "It's because he was... quite, er, quicker than we expected..."

"Quicker? Quite quicker?" Tarn said, quite angry, "Alright. So quick will be the shot of my double cannon when it will kill you!

He pointed his double cannon to the rest of the members. All of them got scared and Nickel went under the table to hide.

"Wait, boss!" Helex said, "We assure you, we really didn't expect that!"

"Ha!" Tarn mockingly replied, "I don't care! You failed me, and I don't tolerate failure!"

He was about to shoot, but a strange sound was heard.

"What's that?" Tarn asked.

The whole headquarters blew up. And Spectra woke up.
