Transformers Prime: Legacy (Season Two)

Episode 33: Human Factor: Part 3

"Detroit, 5:25 P.M"

Ronaldo walks through the desolate streets of Old Detroit, an abandoned and rundown section of the city, holding his bandaged left arm and looking down at the GPS on his phone as he was on the way to the nearest hospital. 

"Turn right on 313 McAlester Avenue." Said the phone's GPS as it guided Ronaldo. 

Ronaldo: Five more minutes to go.

Ronaldo takes a shortcut beneath a nearby overpass where garbage and a number of personal belongings left behind the homeless who once the place home lie scattered all over.

Suddenly, the sound of police sirens ring out, catching Ronaldo's attention as he looks to his left and spots a Ford Mustang Saleen Police Cruiser driving up to him with its lights flashing. 

Ronaldo: *Sigh* "Great, just what I need this evening!" 

Ronaldo walks up to the idling police cruiser as a devilish grin comes across the officer's face as he sits in the driver's seat, watching as his unsuspecting prey approaches to his inevitable doom.

Ronaldo: Can I help you, officer?

"....."

Ronaldo: Officer?

"....."

Ronaldo taps on the hood of the police cruiser, causing the officer's teeth to grit in anger.

Ronaldo: HELLO!? ANYBODY IN THERE!?

Out of nowhere, the police cruiser loudly revs its engines and drives up to Ronaldo, knocking him to the ground. 

Ronaldo: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! EASY!!!

The cruiser revs its engines and drives up to the frightened teen mechanic once again as he raises his legs and places them against the grill in an attempt to defend himself. 

Ronaldo: ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! WHAT DO YOU WANT!!!?

The cruiser its engines a third time and inches closer to Ronaldo pushing him back some.

Ronaldo: PLEASE, SIR! FOR THE LOVE GOD! DON'T HURT ME!!!

The cruiser repeats the same process three more times before finally stopping. 

Ronaldo lowers his arms and legs and looks up. 

The headlights of the cruiser extend and form into a pair of makeshift optics. The optic's sensors examine and scan Ronaldo's figure, locating the relic sitting in the back of his jeans under his white t-shirt. 

Barricade: "Bingo!"

The makeshift optics retract back into the place of the headlights.

Ronaldo: "...."

Soon, the parts of police cruiser would shape and shift before transforming into a 25ft tall Decepticon with bright red optics and the words, "Punish and Enslave" written on the side as it easily towers over Ronaldo in an intimidating manner.

Ronaldo looks on in absolute shock and terror for a few seconds before taking off at full speed as Barricade immediately gives chase.

Ronaldo: OH SHIT, OH SHIT, OH SHIT!!!

Barricade snatches Ronaldo up by the back of his shirt and throws him onto the hood of a nearby abandoned car as he lands with a hard thud.

Ronaldo groans in pain and attempts to move only to be pinned down to the hood by Barricade's hand.
