3rd POV (Inside a Cave)

At the energon mines, the Vehicons were hard at work mining for energon. They're drilling the crystals using their arm cannons, excavator vehicles, and some carrying a kart full of Energon. The dark gray robot watches on.

"Of the energon deposits we have located while you were away, Lord Megatron. This one is by far the most significant. The drones have been mining without a pause during your absence, and have amassed quite a stockpile. You there! Fetch me a sample!" the dark grey robot explained, then ordered  a Vehicon.

"Starscream!" Megatron yelled. Starscream flinches at Megatron yelling his name. "Now that I have returned I will issue the commands." Megatron comes out of the shadows, holding something.

"I understood, 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?" Starscream asked.

"My army will come. But my time away has yielded a more intriguing means of materializing them.[Showing Starscream a purple crystal shard.] The solidified form of the matter the ancient texts referred to as the Blood of Unicron!" Megatron stated, he shows Starscream a glowing purple crystal shard in his servo. Starscream walks towards Megatron and looks at the crystal.

"Unicron the Destroyer But it is said that his blood is the anti-Spark!" Starscream points out.

"Plucked from cosmic shores, gaze upon Dark Energon!" said Megatron.

"Legend tells that it holds the power to revive the dead." Starscream explained.

"We require only a cadaver to be certain. Are you willing to make the ultimate sacrifice?" Megatron asked.

"Hehehe, ahem, that may not be necessary. If I may, Lord Megatron? Consider it a welcome-home present." Starscream replied. He gestures Megatron to a red horned robot's corpse. Back at the Autobot Base, Optimus continue Ms to explain to the four humans.

"And since you now know of our existence, I fear that as of last night the Decepticons know of yours." Optimus tells them.

"Got it, we spot any strange vehicles, call 911 Can we go now?" Jack asked.

"This is already sounding crazier and crazier by the minute." Lydia groaned.

"Are you guys insane? I'm living a dream here in Bots-wana and I will not allow either of you or anyone else to shatter it!" Miko exclaimed.

"It is best that you three remain under our watch. At least until we can determine our enemies' intentions." Optimus suggested.

"Optimus. With all due respect, the human children are in as much danger here as anywhere! They have no protective shell! If they get underfoot they will go Squish!" the orange and robot pointed out. He stomps his foot on the ground to prove his point.

"Then for the time being, Ratchet, we must watch where we step." said Optimus. Suddenly, the alarm goes off and the screen flashes.

"What's that?" Jack asked. The yellow robot beeps.

"Proximity sensor. Someone's up top." Raf translated.

"It's Agent Fowler." Ratchet revealed. He types on the control panel and the screen shows a helicopter.

"Aren't we the only humans who know about your existence,?" Lydia asked.

"Special agent Fowler is our designated liason to the outside world, as he tends to visit only when there are issues. It may be best if you do not meet him at this time." Optimus tells them.
