No one's POV.

It was a nice sunny day. Blue skies and everything. Then there was a huge hole that was dug out from something that wasn't human. Jack and Miko were sitting on the side of some rocks that were moved to the side. "We're supposed to be at a rock concert, but all I see is rocks.", Miko complained as she was standing on top of one. Jack was just trying to relax since this was rare for this teens to do. "Relax Miko. The show doesn't start for two hours.", The teen boy said to her as he just wanted the nice sound of nature. "You know how long I've waited to see slash monkey?", She asked him while trying to say that she been waiting. The hero boy was going to say something, but in this normal world everyone gets cut off. "Forever and it's their only use date!", Miko said to him while complaining some more. "There's a shock. I mean who doesn't love obscure Bulgarian shriek. metal.", The boy said as he was making fun of the teen girl. Then both of their guardians come out of the hole who was on the side. "By all appearances the mines been stripped.",  Arcee was saying as there was something wrong with the mind. Bulkhead was hold a GPS device as thy were searching for something in the beginning of the day. "But I'm getting a signal. It's faint, but it's definitely energon.", The bot said as there seem to be something wrong. Not normal for an empty mine to be filled with ghost energon. "Doesn't make sense. This operation's been abandoned four maybe five years and Decepticons never leave energon behind.",  Arcee stated since that not what cons do. "Uh guys?", Jack said to called their attention. The two bots looks at him to see what was wrong. He pointed to where Miko once was and they saw that she was running into the mines. What a great way to start the day. "Cool!", the teen girls shouted as she keeps running in. "She went in. Unbelievable.", The warrior femme said while the two of them were facing the empty mines. Also making this sound like that this was the first time this has ever happened. "Really? Have you met her?", Jack asked them since this was a normal thing know. Bulkhead sighs while going after the punk star. "Miko get back here.", He shouted at her as he went deeper into the abounded mines. Leaving the two duo behind to watch the whole thing. "You it would be kind of interesting to see. You know it were-", Jack was saying but like everything single time when someone tries to speak someone else chimes in. "Safe? A stripped mine can be structurally unstable, Jack.",The bot said to him while trying to change his mind. "I promise to step lightly.", The hero boy said to her as he wanted to see what it looked like. Arcee sighs and rubs her head, but then turns back to her kid. "Just don't tell you mom.", She said to him while pointing down at the teen. Then off they went to go caught up with the rest of the group. Not knowing that up in the sky two grey planes were coming down for a landing at the front. The two transformed into the master and the little sidekick. Megatron and Starscream landed on the ground, where no team prime was in sight. 

The two cons were standing in front of the mines that was once used for their army. The lord just watches it as it brings back some memories in his dark mindset. Starscream was standing behind him while trying to understand why they're there. "Lord Megatron, far be it from to me to question your intentions, but I do not understand why we've returned here after all this time. Alone.", The commander asked since he didn't want his spark to go out. The master just kept on walking as the con was just a little flea. Starscream just stood there as his question wasn't answer and quickly went over towards his leader. "Every last trace of energon was extracted from this mine. There's nothing left.", The ex-lord said the current lord. Starscream was still in the light while the warlock was in the darkness of the cave. This made Megatron stopped in his tracks since he seem to know something that the coward con doesn't. "Indulge me Starscream, won't you.", The master asked for him to follow him to who knows where. As for the Autobots, Bulkhead was still trying to look for his kid. "Miko?", He tried to call out to her. "Check this out!", She said while coming out of darkness. "Now this would make an awesome rehearsal space.", Miko said while looking around at the huge spot. Bulk just looks down at her and then looks around at the area to see if it was safe. "Hello? Hello Cleveland! Are you ready to rock?", The punk star said while dreaming of all the placed on where her band might go. While she was saying that there was echos replying back to her in the same phrase. The wrecker looks down at the GPS to see what was going with it. "Arcee found something.",He said over the radar, but for Arcee she seem to not be getting something. More static then words. "Bulkhead? Bulkhead do you read? Scrap.", The warrior femme said while not getting anythign from it. This made the teen boy stop to look up at her since it was just him and her. "The mineral composition down her is causing interference.", Arcee said since the thick layer of rock was blocking connections. Either if it was in the mines or outside world. "Okay Maybe the acoustics aren't perfect.", Miko said as that seem to be their issue too. Bulk looks at the radar device to see what the beeping noise was saying to so. "Well, we're here. Rat is gonna want a sample.", The ex-wrecker said while heading right towards the so called energon. He gotten closer and closer towards this rock wall that was completely empty. He transforms his left arm into a wrecking ball. Once the bot was close enough; Bulk started to smashed into the piece of rock to fine whatever it was. While the sound of someone mining was playing out in the forgotten mines, but they also match with someone's foot steps. There was some mining drills that were sitting under the abounded crystal mines. Megatron looked right at them since they're not supposed to be there. "How intriguing.", The master said while looking at the drills. But this drills didn't looks like they're left behind. More like they're sitting over night. Starscream gotten a glimpse of the sight. This made him panic a bit, but the soon turned into anger. "Incompetent fools.", The commander said to either lie or the pass mistake. How about be agree on both. He walks over there to check if there was anything left. "This mining equipment should have been relocated. Why is it still here?!", The ex-lord asked while having a mini voice crack. There was nothing that changed the warlock mind while he looks down at the con. More like he knows a secret. "The most valid question.", The con leader said while just looking at Starscream. This made the con to start panicking once again while putting that cowardly smile back on. "My apology of this master.I  believe Soundwave was in charge of coordinating transport.", Starscream tried to convinced the war leader. But all he got was a growl as that wasn't the right choice of words. "But in fairness during your interstellar travels we all had to assume additional responsibilities. Clearly mistakes were made.",  The helpless commander said to his master while backing up away from him. The more and more he backs up the more that Megatron gets a step. "Yes clearly.",  The con warlock said while just looking at the one who tried to kill him. Then he punches the right rocky wall next to him as he tries to get something out of there. Once the master was able to pull his arm out, there it was. A little cluster of energon was in his hands. "Every last trace of energon extracted?", Megatron asked the commander. This made Starscream be a small bean while looking at the piece. "Lord Megatron, I can explain.", The con said while seeing the glow coming out as it lands in the hands. The soft blue glow was placed around the walks and on the warlock face. "Explain what?! That you've been hoarding a supply of energon for your personal use.", Megatron asked him as the energon was dropped on the floor. Some on the pieces split off while most of it looked fine. "No! Not exactly. You said-",  The commander said while trying to put something in his mouth. Before he could finish his sentence, the shard of energon was crushed into the ground. "Do not take me as fool Starscream!",  The master yelled down to coward con. As the ex-lord tries to find words that will help out, but none came to his side. Starscream starts back up away from his leader since this might be his end. "I have been wise to your transgressions for the beginning. Not only did you pluck the Dark Energon from my chest; in a failed attempt to snuff my spark, but you tries to raise your own undead warrior with it. It's no secret that you lost an arm in the process which you've since had replaced.", The leader said while getting right in the coward con's face. How knowing what has happen in the pass when the lord was alive or not. "You know about that?!", The voice crack has come back once again. Now the whole truth was out and there was nothing the could to save Starscream. The commander tries his best to get far away from him as possible, but one major problem. Megatron was blocking the only way out. "Soundwave is quite competent at surveillance. I can assure you. The fact is Starscream, despite your treachery. I've allowed you to carry on this long, because I took a certain delight in following your string of failures.", The warlock said down to his commander while getting him back up into a wall. "But you finally become tiresome, predictable, you hit rock bottom.",  Megatron said while pull his gun at the face of the con. No more show for the con leader as he gotten tried of the same stuff that was coming from the coward. Starscream started to panic as the gun was right there in his face and one tiny blast could blow his head off. "Master please! Give me one more chance! I beg of you!", The ex-lord said as he was begging to his master. The commander gotten down on his knees and begs up to the leader.
