Transformers Prime [REWRITTEN]

¦¦ CHAPTER FIVE ¦¦

Cliff has to admit; the cell he's in isn't so bad. Uncomfortable but not bad. He got up since he doesn't know what to do, he could try escaping like a devil he is but that would cost the end of his spark. He heard incoming pedes from outside of his cell and saw a silver Eradicon which is bit taller than the ones he fought last time. "Hey Eradicon." The drone stopped then turned his head, "What is it, Autobot?" This one has a normal voicebox tone, "Are there gonna be tortures for me so you can get the location of my base? Because I will not tell you anything or to your commander." The drone just shaked his helm, "You really wanna play with fire, huh? And the torture starts later, when Commander Starscream is finish talking with our liege." The red Autobot raises his optic ridge, "Wait wait, liege?" "Lord Megatron has returned from his deep space travel after three years." Then the drone walked away with Cliffjumper just stood in his cell, faceplate plastered with shock.

The perspective changed to where a various of miner Vehicons are mining many energon crystals, "Of the energon deposits while you were away, Lord Megatron; this one is by far the most significant." A miner Vehicon in his drill tank alt mode is drilling through the crystal like the rest while most of the miners are pushing the carts to the Nemesis' elevator shaft. "The drones have been mining without a pause during your absence, and have amassed quite a stockpile. You there! Fetch me a sample!" The voice of his leader suddenly spooked Starscream and the ex-gladiator came out of the shadows, "Now that I have returned, I will issue the commands." "I..I understand, Lord Megatron. Then as your humble servant, shall I ready the space bridge to bring forth the Decepticon army you have surely gathered during your three years in space?" Though the leader of the Decepticons only replied with, "My army will come..But my time away has yielded a more intriguing means of materialising them." He then showed a purple crystal shard from his servo to his air commander, "The solidified form of the matter, the ancient texts referred to as the Blood of Unicron." Starscream seems surprised but remained postural, "Unicron the Destroyer. But it is said that his blood is the anti-spark." "Plucked from cosmic shores, gaze upon Dark Energon.." The Seeker will admit; that is the most basic name to call, even on the crystal of the Cybertronian version of Satan.

"Legend tells that it holds the power to..revive the dead.." "We require only a cadaver to be certain." He looked at the Seeker, "Are you willing to make the ultimate sacrifice?" Starscream can only let out a nervous chuckle at that request, "That may not be necessary..." He looked around to see it's just only him and the leader. "What is may not be necessary, Starscream?" The commander almost slipped while looking at his liege.

"I promise you..my dear commander that this won't hurt..."

Back at the Autobot base, the team except Ratchet are surrounding the three children, "And since you now know of our existance; I fear that as of last night, the Decepticons know of yours." Jack gave a small nod, "Got it, we spot any strange vehicles, call 911. Can we go now?" Miko looks at him, "Are you insane? I'm living a dream here in Botswana and I will not allow you or anyone else to shatter it!" "It is best that you three remain under our watch." Optimus told them, "At least until we can determine our enemies' intentions." Ratchet finally looks away from the monitor, "Optimus. With all due respect, the human children are in as much danger..Here as anywhere!" "Children?" The medic ignored that, "They have no protective shell! If they get underfoot, they will go 'squish'!" He empathised the squish part with a small tap of his pede which scared the kids a bit. The leader just shook his head then looked at him, "Then for the time being, Ratchet, we must watch where we step." Then a green light with an alarm on flickered throughout the base so Ratchet went to check it out on his monitor, "What's that?!" Bumblebee lets out a series of beeps again but none of the kids knew what he is trying to explain, "Proximity sensor, someone's on top." Weaponchanger explained to them, "It's Agent Fowler." The monitor shows a helicopter with a guy in suit inside, "I thought we're the only humans who knew about you guys." Raf asked so the secretary explains to them again, "Special Agent Fowler is our designated liason to the outside world, he only tends to visit when there are issues. Either good or bad, you name it." Arcee then spoke to them, "It's also best that you three shouldn't meet him at this time." The triple-changer then escorts them to a different room the moment a human-sized elevator arrived.

"Seven wrecks, thirty four fender benders, a three hour traffic jam, and on particular note numerous reports of a speeding motorcycle of unknown make and a black-and-yellow custom muscle car!" The agent eyed at Arcee and Bumblebee with a glare, Weapon peeks through a gap of a wall while the kids who are resting on their shoulder pads tried to take to do the same without falling off, "So, anything you care to get up your tin chassis, Prime?" "We have the situation under control, Agent Fowler." The man pulls out a pissed off yet almost calm look, "They're back, aren't they?" Optimus vented softly, "If you are referring to the Decepticons, I have doubts that they ever left. Your planet is much too valuable." "Then it's time to wake up the Pentagon." But Optimus intervened again, "Hear me, Agent Fowler..We are your best, possibly your only defense against the Decepticon threat." The agent can only sighed, "Says you.." Then Bulkhead calls the agent out, "Hey fleshy! Did anyone get splattered on that freeway? Team Prime knows when to use force-" He pulls out a machine from its place, "And how much to use!" He crushed it in half.

Ratchet got annoyed by this, "Bulkhead, I needed that!" Then their leader told them it is enough then looked at Agent Fowler again, "Military envolvement will only result in catastrophy. Perhaps you can condone widespread human casualties, Agent Fowler..I, however, cannot.." "Then do us both a favor and handle this, Prime! Under the radar." He walked back to the elevator and pressed a button then gave the Prime a look, "Or I will." The doors closed, "Pretty big bearings..for a human." "Agent Fowler is concerned for his world Bulkhead." He looked at where his secretary and the kids were hiding coming out.

"As he should be.."
