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 is quiet, not a single gust of wind, not even a single cybertronian. Two Autobots are trying to get as close to the headquarters as possible, swiping from place to place while remaining hidden. The one in the lead is looking around to make sure they weren't attracting any attention (although there is nobody around), the second is carrying a big missile launcher on his back and when they move to another place, he tries to run as fast as possible despite the launcher's weight.

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

"Shut up!" Interrupts the leading Autobot. They both look upward, as three seekers fly above them. Silence becomes omnipresent again.

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

"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 go behind a broken wall, hiding them perfectly. A spaceship arrives and lands beside the headquarters. It's the Peaceful Tyranny.

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

"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 opens, and out of it come Tarn, Vos, Helex, Tesarus, Kaon and Nickel.

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

"Quick, the launcher! "says the other.

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

Tarn and the other members enter the room. Tarn opens a glass box and puts inside a green glowing shard of Energon. He looks at the room.

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

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

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

The rest of the members go quiet. Tarn sees a worried expression on some of their faces, as he smiles, despite knowing the smile was hidden by the mask).

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

"Yes," Tarn answers , "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 speaks those last words with a serious and bothered tone. The others know that he dislikes this.

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

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

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

He points his double cannon to the rest of the members. All of them get scared and Nickel goes under the table to hide.

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

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

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

"What's that?" Tarn asks .

The whole headquarters blows up. And Spectra wakes up.
