Cliffjumper is still surrounded with the energon crystals and in front of him are an army of Vehicons, he can feel his Cybertronian blood pumping with both fight and excitement to know he can finally combat with the Cons, "Fair warning boys, I'll put a few dents in ya'll." He transformed back into his alt mode then drove towards to what he assumed is their leader for this squad and when he flew up, he transformed into his robot mode again and landing a punch on the Vehicon.

Back to a lone truck driving until he received a COMM from Arcee, "Arcee to Optimus, the Cons are back! Cliff might be neck-deep in scrap." The leader of the Autobots nodded, "Understood. Ratchet, do you have Cliffjumper's coordinates?" A white and orange ambulance was driving through a colder area while pinpointing on one of the members' location, "I'm locked on his signal, Optimus. But our team's scattered across timezones." Ratchet took a slight stop to his tracks on road.

"Arcee-" She stopped in the middle of town.

"Bulkhead-" A green SUV stopped at the back of the forest.

"Bumblebee-" A yellow car stopped in his tracks, somewhere at an unknown location.

"Rendezvous back at base. Weaponchanger, prepare to ground bridge for us." He said to a young Autobot who has duller blue finish with an Asian mist patterned paintjob back at the base. "Roger that, Optimus." He starts by typing on the keys for each for his teammates. Meanwhile for Cliffjumper, he is winning to the Vehicons who stood no chance for his strength. Unfortunately, he did no pay attention to the one behind him who hit the back of his helm then another kicked him to one of his comrades. The Vehicon landed a harsh punch on him that caused one of Cliff's horn to come off and he flew back into the same hole but managed to stand on his two pedes, the Vehicons came down as well. "You want the horns?" He activated his blasters, "You got them." He shoots at them which they did the same to the Autobot. One shot at the energon behind Cliff which exploded and vaporised the whole area.

However, two remaining Vehicons from the energon hole carried the unconscious red Autobot from both sides to walk back into the Nemesis. Inside the ship, there's a Seeker who watched the whole thing happened outside, "The energon is worthless to me now.." He heard the doors opening and see that his troops and the Autobot are coming in. Cliffjumper was barely online at this point and the drones threw him to the floor to make him face their substitute master, "Scream, it's been a while.." He coughed out bit of energon from his mouth, "So..where's your master..?" This caused Starscream to be enraged by his second sentence, "Never mind him! I am my own master." He was about to strike at his spark chamber then a voice called him out, "Commander Starscream, if I may..?" He turned to see a Vehicon but is different from the others that Cliff fought, "Before you can kill him, there is one possibility that you might be interested in." This caused the Seeker to lower his claw down, "Go on, I'm listening." "Cliffjumper here can be our prisoner, he can tell us about the location of the Autobot base. If he doesn't cooperate, well..We can torture him until he finally breaks his overwhelming confidence and finally tell us." Cliffjumper raised his helm up when he heard his words and Starscream smirked at this, "Yes, that sounds like a smart idea." He turned to the Autobot while still smirking, "You'll get to live but don't be cocky about it. Makeshift, please aid him until he is ready to be comfortable in his cell." Before he can respond back, the Vehicon, Makeshift, grabbed him by the horn and dragged him away to the ship's medical bay.

The Nemesis already flew away before a portal appeared and a team of Autobots came out of it. Only four members have their blasters activated while looking around the area, "An untapped energon deposit." Optimus puts away his blaster then others did the same, "What's left of it.." Ratchet spoke up after Bulkhead, "The first Decepticon activity in twenty-one years." "That we know of. If they're scouting for energon, they may be preparing for his return." They walked towards the hole to inspect it more, Arcee is the first to get down then Bumblebee then others, when she looked down, she gasped at the sight of her partner's horn. "No..." She took it out of the ground then showed it to the medic, "Ratchet, can you track his position?" The medic activated his life signal detector, "No..Cliffjumper's life signal..just went offline..." He said in a sad tone which made Arcee clutching onto Cliff's horn.
