3rd POV

"PRIME!" Agent Fowler snarled. Softspark woke up. She was laying down with her head on Skyquake's head. "PRIME!" He snarled. 

"Special Agent Fowler. To what do we ow --"

"What else? 'Cons! I chased them off with some hard ordnance, but not before they blew me out of the sky." Softspark sniggered. "Again?" She laughed. 

Skyquake smiled. "They tried a smash-and-grab for the DNGS." Fowler said. "The. . . what's it?" Arcee asked. "Dynamic nuclear generation system, AKA DNGS. It's a prototype energy source I'm porting to the coat for testing."

"That's absurd! Why would Starscream bother with such primitive technology?" Ratchet asked. "I'm guessing to make a big fat primitive weapon of mass destruction. If this baby were to melt down, it would irradiate this state and the four next door." Fowler said. 

"Uh. . . Did agent Fowler say which state he was in?" Rafael asked. "I'm a sitting duck here, Prime. I need you to spin up your bridge and send the DNGS to its destination before the 'cons come back for it." Agent Fowler said. "I'm afraid that sending such a volatile device through the groundbridge is out of the question. If there were to be an accident during it transmission, the radiation of which you speak could propagate through the ground bridge vortex and harm all 50 states and beyond." Optimus said. 

"You got a better idea?" He asked Optimus. 


Softspark was in her predacon form. She then lifted herself up into the sky and she flew in the clouds so high to where she looks like a bird. "We are locked into your coordinates, Optimus. Barring any complications, you should reach the drop-off point by sundown." Ratchet said over the radio. 

Softspark heard honking and saw it was coming from Optimus. She shook her head in amusement. Softspark then growled. ::Softspark what is it?:: Optimus asked over their bond. He could feel her anger. "Something is in the air with us. I can smell their helicopter." She growled. 

::Minimum damage, Softspark.:: Optimus warned her. 

She chittered. 

She then flew over the helicopter. They looked up to see a metal dragon. She stayed over them. 

"A whole team of 'Cons."

"What? I'm not detecting anything. They must be utilizing a cloaking technology." Ratchet said. Softspark then dipped down to the cars. 

"A dragon. A living dragon." Silas said amazed. Softspark then slammed her tail into toe back of the green car and it forced the car backwards. Softspark smirked. She saw another car and Bee hit it. Optimus was turning very hard. 

"Could use some air!" Fowler said. 

Softspark landed on the top of Optimus's trailer. She then held on tightly as Optimus turned right. She then growled as she looked at the man. She roared and he stared at her. Agent Fowler grabbed him when he accidentally let go. 

Softspark then looked up at the Helicopter. When the back exploded and opened Arcee jumped out and hit the car in front of the back. The car exploded. Softspark then growled. ::Softspark, do not do anything.:: Optimus told her. 

"He's getting on my damn nerves." She growled. ::Go in the air and distract them.::

"Got it." Softspark then flew up in the air and she roared. The Helicopter swerved left to miss her. 

She then turned back around and headbutted the wall. The rocks dropped down blocking the tunnel. 

She then caught up with them. She then heard jets. "Optimus, Decepticons!" She warned. ::Got it.:: He told her. 

The rockets at the Autobots and Optimus swerved to miss it. His trailer got hit. 

Softspark then landed beside Optimus. She growled. Optimus and the others transformed. Softspark growled. She then roared angrily and charged at the 'Cons. She grabbed one and bit it's head off. 

She slapped another with her tail and headbutted one. 

::Prime, Softspark, Silas got wise to phase 2.:: Fowler said. "I understand-"

Optimus was hit with a log. "OPTIMUS!" Softspark cried. "PRIME! PRIME!"

Softspark then gently touched Optimus's shoulder. "Optimus. Come on. Wake up!" Softspark then slapped him across the face. He instantly wake up. "Sorry. You wouldn't wake up!" She said. 

He nodded. They both then saw Mech on the train. "Oh, Scrap!"

Softspark then formed into her predacon form. She roared. 

She caught up with the Helicopter and bit a part of it. Suddenly a large explosion hit her side. She screeched in pain. She dropped on the ground whimpering. 

Optimus drove past the kids and he transformed. He grabbed the front of the train and did his best to stop it. It wasn't slowing down and Optimus groaned in pain as he did his hardest. 

It then stopped. Optimus stood up. The kids waved at him. He then saw Mech. "Well played, Visitor. But Mech still has homefield advantage and we will find a way to level that playing field. Even if we have to open you up to see what makes you tick."

Optimus then turned to see Softspark whimpering unable to move. "Alex." Miko cried and her and Jack ran to her. Softspark tried to stand but she fell. Optimus walked over and noticed her. 

"Softspark. . ."He got over to her. "Hey. What happened Sweetspark?" He asked her. "They hit me with a rocket." She whimpered in their bond. 

"It's okay. Hang on."
