Transformers Prime: The Calm before the Storm

Chp 18: Let's get rid of this old world, come on! What should we break first?

When Silas had received the call that Project Mechanoid was not just a failure but that it was also destroying there headquarters in a blind rage, he was thoroughly pissed.

He had ordered all his men to first save any information that hadn't already been copied to a different device, gather as much of there prototypes and try to protect themselves.

There equipment and technology were of the utmost importance, luckily all of there equipment weren't located at this base, but a large quantity of it was unfortunately.

Silas sat inside the canopy of the F-16 Fighting Falcon jet known as Starscream. The jet was surprisingly fast going beyond the sound barrier.

It was strange being inside a living machine. It looked like your average jet inside and out, no ordinary human would suspect that it was an alien robot from another planet.

"We are approaching your base Silas." Starscream twirled a bit as he said this.

Silas nodded looking out the canopy to a large cluster of smoke in the distance.

"What exactly is going on? Did one of your machines blow up or something?" Starscream asked. He really wanted this human out of him it was highly uncomfortable.

How did the Autobots deal with this on a daily basis?

"No. One of are prototypes malfunctioned." Silas looked at the forest area where there base stood, fire burning brightly from the area.

"What kind of prototype were you working on to cause such a mess?"

Silas crunched his knuckles up in his lap trying to keep his composure. "Starscream."

"Yes, Silas?"

"Do me a favor and shut up."

As soon as they got Knockout caught up on there plan to rescue Megatron, they immediately took a ground bridge towards the coordinates.

The plan was for Dreadwing to place bombs around the already burning base to destroy any humans and there machinery, Knockout would assist him in placing the bombs. While Soundwave and Laserbeak searched for there Leader and any Vehicon's.

It seemed simple when said but they all knew it wasn't going to be easy.

Knockout and Dreadwing tried to the best of there ability to stay in the shadows, the humans weren't really paying attention to their surroundings beside the fire and saving there tech.

Dreadwing stopped behind a warehouse, crouching near the edge looking out from the side. Humans in black suits tried there best to extinguish the fire, as other's just ran away.

"Why did you stop?" Knockout whispered, the seeker had hit him in the helm earlier when he talked in his normal tone.

Dreadwing reached for the bombs in his subspace. "We can cover more ground by splitting up, I'll cover the east while you cover the west side of the area. Then we'll meet back at the rendezvous. Understand?"

Knockout took the bombs from Dreadwing, being as careful as possible with them. "Yes, one thing though..."

Dreadwing looked back from his lookout. "What?"

"Which way is west?"

When Team Prime exited the bridge they were greeted with an intense heat from the fire before them.

"Yup looks like this is the place, so what's the plan boss bot?" Bulkhead already had his wrecking ball out already, looking up at his leader.

Optimus's mask slid over his face and transformed his servos into guns. "We will infiltrate their base, locate Bumblebee and Megatron. If it is needed we will attack the humans."
