Blitzstorm's P.O.V.

"Guys? Guys do you read me?"

I've been trying to contact the others for the rest of the night and straight into morning, and no answer. "Ultra Magnus? Eylon? Avis? Bulkhead?" Still nothing.

What if they were captured?

Tortured?

Killed?!

"No, no, no, no, pull yourself together." I muttered. I had to figure out a way to get to Velocitron and find out what became of the Autobots. But who is still here? Lunar! I bolted out of the room and transformed into my vehicle mode, leaving the palace and speeded through the city for the Lawsuit Building. Lunar's work station, hopefully she was still in.

Once at the entrance, I transformed back into my robot mode and busted through the doors. I nearly scared the scrap out of the femme at the front desk. "Lunarspeed, where is she?!" I asked with desperation. The femme said nothing, just pointed with shock and nervousness in the direction of Lunarspeed.

"Thank you." I gasped. I took off running through the halls nearly running into the other employees. "Is Lunar here?!" They pointed at a door near the end of the hall and ran inside. There were data pads all over the floor and holoscreens all around the room.

"No, no not here. Ugh! This won't work either!"

I heard the groans and disappointed vents of a femme Cybertronian. I moved some holoscreens out of the way to see a light blue and silver femme, tossing data pads left and right and scrolling through multiple holoscreens.

"Lunar! Lunarspeed I need to talk to you!" I said. "Sorry Blitz' I don't have time, Wildstrike wants me to find a loop hole for the marriage law before it comes into affect!" replied Lunarspeed. "Lunar, how long have you been up? When was the last time you recharged?" I asked. She stopped what she was doing to think of an answer, fingers pointing in the air counting. "Uh, about 12 hours." she answered.

"12 hours?! Lunar, I don't think that loop hole will help now." I said. "What? Why?! Why wouldn't it help?! TELL ME!" she ordered while gripping my shoulders. I gently pushed her hands off me as I looked at her straight in the optics. "The Royal Blood Code? That's today! In less than an hour!" I stated.

I could feel her servos shaking as she nearly fainted. I just caught her and helped her back up to her pedes. "That's today?" she asked in shock. "Yes." I answered. "So your saying, I stayed up all night?" she asked again. "Yes that's correct." I answered in reply.

"But what about the others? Didn't they leave for Velocitron to rescue Aura?" she asked. "Surely they must have brought her back by now right?!" "I'm afraid not. I lost contact with them a couple hours ago. I think they may have been captured." I explained.

Again, she almost fainted, but I wasn't quick enough to catch her and she fell to the floor. "Lunarspeed for the sake of the Allspark, pull yourself together!" I ordered. "Hello?! When I get news like that how can I?!" she asked deep with stress.

"Just try to relax okay? We need to round up some recruits, go to Velocitron, and find the others." I said. "But who? Who else can we get to help us?" asked Lunar. "The Predacons! Surely they can be of assistance." I answered.

"The Predacons?! Okay, I'm okay with Dusksmite helping us, he's done that before. But what about Predaking and his followers? After the incident on Earth I don't think Predaking would trust an Autobot for the rest of his days." stated Lunarspeed. "Not true. Before Optimus Prime became one with the Allspark, the Predacons helped protect Primus from Unicron." I recalled. ".....Oh yeah." uttered Lunarspeed, remembering the event.
