(Wreckage) Third Persons POV

"Leave no stone unturned" Megatron orders his troops. As they squire the wreckage of the autobot base. Just then an injured Wheeljack is brought over by two drones lead by Starscream.

"Master, look who we found, pulled from the wreckage of his ship. Wheeljack" Starscream declares.

"So, one survived. Take our guest back to the citadel for questioning. Back to Darkmount" Megatron orders. The drones nod and do so.

"This is the dawning of a new age, my liege the reign of Megatron" Starscream states.

"You do have a way with words, Starscream" Megatron praises. "Make haste and unearth the Autobot corpses" he orders his troops.

So far only a couple of things have been uncovered. Airachnid, still frozen in a stasis pod. And the Forge of Solus Prime. "The Forge of Solus Prime?! How is it that you have managed to materialize that yet not the remains of a single Autobot?!" Megatron demands.

"Answer your Lord and master" Starscream snaps. "Where are their bodies?!" he demands. Meanwhile underground Smokescreen is moving Nahko to where he's hidden Jazz and Optimus badly damaged bodies.

"I got you Nahko, I got you" he says gently. He lays her beside Jazz. She doesn't look to badly hurt, but it unconscious. Along with Jazz. Optimus groans. "You're hurt, but you probably look way worse than you feel" Smokescreen tells him. Optimus tries to speak. "No, don't move or talk. Just power down, like Jazz and Nahko. Get your strength back. I got you all covered" he assures him.

Meanwhile above ground, Starscream and Megatron walk through the wreckage. "The Autobots clearly ground bridged from their base before it was destroyed" Megatron states. "They could be anywhere" he adds.

"We must initiate global surveillance, my Lord" Starscream tells him. "Send search-and-destroy teams to every sector of this planet" he suggests.

"Soundwave, monitor all Earth-based transmissions for any sign of Autobot communication with each other or with their human counterparts" Megatron orders. Just then they hear choppers heading their way. They look to see the human army.

"Foolish humans. I shall deploy the armada" Starscream tells Megatron.

"That won't be necessary, Starscream, not when we can engage our enemy with newfound might" Megatron tells him. Looking up at Darkmount. Which easily takes care of the approaching human army. Megatron and Starscream return to Darkmount. Where Megatron has Soundwave contact the military leader to inform him of the new deal.

"A new power dominates your world. Any further attempts to attack me will be met with even greater force. Your leaders should be advised that my fusion cannons possess enough firepower to decimate any densely populated area of my choosing. I would, in all likelihood, set sights on your nation's capital, for starters" Megatron tells Agent Fowler.

"Point taken" Fowler assures him. "Now, what do you want from us?" he asks him.

"Nothing, Agent Fowler. The Decepticons mean no harm to humanity. We merely desire a place to call home" Megatron lies. Once he has Nahko Prime in his position, he'll start experimenting on the humans to turn them into his new subjects.

"No offense, Megatron, but I'm having a tough time swallowing all this since you seem so bent on plastering humankind under molten steel" Fowler tells him.

"Agent Fowler I admit that w*r brings out the worst in me, but the conflict with the Autobots is now over, and our quarrel has never been with your kind. Now that the one, true enemy of the Decepticons is no more, my only wish is to coexist on this planet with the human race, peacefully" Megatron lies. With you all surviving me, he adds in his mind. "Together, Agent Fowler, I believe that you and I can make that dream a reality" he states and ends the call.
