The Wolf-Con and the Cadet

Chapter 19

After the Autobots had captured Clampdown, after running into Ratchet, they headed back to the scrapyard. After questioning Clampdown and getting nothing they threw him into a pod then Ratchet told them the story about Cybertron and how he came to earth. Suddenly the alarms sounded, "We got two beings heading towards the front gate," Fixit informs Bumblebee.

"Stay on your toes everyone," Bumblebee informed as the gate opened revealing a Mini-Con similar to Fixit along with Strongarm.

"Please, help us," Toolbox pleaded before falling over.

Strongarm was leaning against the side of the gate feeling exhausted, she then started tumbling over as she tried to make her way inside, but Sideswipe and Windblade caught her. They helped the two of them inside and sat them down to rest and got them Energon.

"Are you alright, Strongarm? I'm sorry I wasn't able to save you from Steeljaw," Bumblebee said with worry in his tone.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit low on Energon. It wasn't your fault, Lieutenant," Strongarm assured before gulping down the Energon. Toolbox practically inhaled the Energon once it was given to him.

"What is that thing around his neck?" Sideswipe asked.

"This is an electric neck lock that keeps us from using our weapons and fighting back, they used us as slaves to help fix up the Alchemor," Toolbox explains.

Once Fixit got the lock off of Toolbox, Strongarm walked over to him. "Fixit, will you help me with something?"

"Sure thing. What do you need?"

"I need to look up Wolf-Cons."

"Why do you need to look up Wolf-Cons? Did Steeljaw do something to you?" Bumblebee asked the cadet.

"No! While Metalsound was helping Toolbox and I escape she told me to look up Wolf-Cons when I got back here," she explains as Fixit looks up Wolf-Cons.

"Sweet Solus Prime!" Fixit exclaims.

"What's the matter, Fixit?"

"What did you find?" Bumblebee asked. They were all waiting to hear the result.

"According to this, Wolf-Cons mate by having sex. Did you and Steeljaw have sex?"

"Uh, Rusty, why don't you go play with the other kids," Denny shooed his son out.

"But-" Russell began protesting but Denny closed the door.

Strongarm looked around at her teammates awkwardly as they waited for her answer. She vents out a sigh, "Yes. But I didn't know it would mean mating with him! He never told me that!"

"Well, according to this you're now mated to him for life," Fixit tells her.

"Seriously!?" Strongarm shouts before calming herself down as she leans against the wall, "I'm not even ready to have a mate yet, I'm still young. Why didn't he tell me?" She asks as she puts her servos on her helm.

Bumblebee walks over to her and hugs her, "I'm so sorry, Strongarm. I'm so sorry."

"Am I gonna get locked up now since I'm a 'Con criminal's mate?"

Bumblebee pulls back to look at her, "No, I don't believe in following that stuff. I don't see any reason to unless you gave him information or helped him in any way to take us out."

"I didn't tell him anything."

"Anyway, to change the subject, we need to come up with a plan to get onto Decepticon Island and take down all the 'Cons," Bumblebee says trying to put them back on track.

"But where are we gonna put them all? We don't have enough pods," Optimus points out.

"But we do have Cryogas and lots of it," Windblade adds.

"We can make a stasis bomb. We can use the ventilation system so no matter where they are they'll still get caught in the blast."

"Good idea, Strongarm. That should work," Bumblebee said in praise.

"We need something that can hold the bomb," says Windblade.

"Then let's get to looking," Grimlock replied as they all started looking.

Steeljaw and Thunderhoof had the weapons and the upper hand, they were getting ready to take over the Decepticons. "So, what's the plan now that we're in control?" Thunderhoof asked, unsure of what Steeljaw was up to.

"We're -" he was suddenly cut off by a blast from behind knocking him down.

"Steel--" Thunderhoof cried out as he too fell to the floor and Metalsound fell to the floor after him.

"Nice shot, Glowstrike," Saberhorn complemented, "Now we... Come now, hand one of them over," he chuckled nervously as the femme picked up the two Decepticon Hunters.

"I don't think so," she replies pointing them at him. "I'm in charge now, you do as I say."

"Why you, I thought we were in this together!"

"Well, you thought wrong."

With a growl, Saberhon took out his two swords before charging at her. She held up the weapons and was able to block him and throw him back against a wall. With a groan, he fell to the ground and passed out. Glowstrike just smirks as she looks upon the three mechs and Metalsound lying on the floor out cold. Little did she know that Soundwave was watching it all through Laserbeak. Soundwave had been hiding in the forest by the lake, waiting for the Autobots to show up.

At this time, the Autobots were on their way there. Slowly making his way out, Soundwave held his servos up, hoping they would know that he wasn't a threat. The Autobots stop and transform pulling their guns out and aiming them at Soundwave. "Soundwave, what are you doing out here?" Bumblebee asked. His visor flickered to life as he showed them what had just occurred.

"So, how are we going to get over there?" Sideswipe asked, "It would take us forever to get through the water."

"How about a boat?" Toolbox suggests pointing to a boat by the dock.

"That should work," Bumblebee said, "Alright since we have a boat let's get over there."

They all get into the boat and lay down, they close their optics and act as though they're knocked out while Grimlock and Toolbox drive the boat out onto the lake.

"Attention approaching craft, we are reading your Decepticon tracking signal but we cannot identify you. State your name and business or be destroyed."

Grimlock paused trying to remember what to say. "You're returning from a mission with Autobot prisoners and your Decepticon tracker was damaged in the fight," Bumblebee tells Grimlock in a shallow tone. Grimlock repeated what he was told and the island uncloaked itself. Two guards were standing right at the entrance as Grimlock entered.

They looked at the cargo, "This is quite a haul of prisoners. I can't believe one Dinobot captured so many Autobots. Including Optimus Prime! How in the name of Megatron's pistons were you able t-!?" The mech got interrupted by Grimlock slamming their helms together.

All the Autobots get up, grab their Decepticon Hunters, and head into the ship. "OK everyone let's get going, lead the way Toolbox," Bumblebee said and the Mini-Con nodded. They made their way through the ship and soon found themselves in the same room as the other Mini-Cons.

"Toolbox, you came back!" One of the Mini-Cons shouted exposing them to the guards, before they knew it they were surrounded.
