-Location: Autobot Base-

It has been only a week has passed since the encounter with Airachnid, during that span of seven days, 'Con activity was starting to increase again. And there's funny going on with a certain Blue Autobot and Blue Idiot.

Whenever the two were together, Arcee would look away for a second blushing before returning their gaze to each other. It was obvious that she liked him, but Caboose views her as a Best Friend, or maybe more than a best friend.

  If the blushing, increase spark rate, and taking subconscious glances at the each other was anything to go off, it was clear that the two did indeed have an interest in each other, it's no surprise to Caboose, he did fall in love with a tank as a human, now he's taken a liking to Arcee as Cybertronian.

  It was late morning and everyone was present inside the command center. Right now, the team was being called in the main ops room, for he had just made a startling discovery.

"Optimus, you'll never believe what I've found, the Decepticon warship." Ratchet notified.

"Wait! How did you penetrate their cloaking technology?" Raf inquired, standing by the railing of the human area with Jack and Miko next to him.

"I didn't..." Ratchet explained as the other Autobots came forward. "I was experimenting with the various wavelengths when I stumbled upon it."

On the monitor, a map with the Decepticon warship depicted flying over Russia.

"Even still, their ship must be suffering from some kind of electromagnetic breach."

"With Megatron deceased and the element of surprise." Arcee stopped as she punched a fist into her servo.

"We can cause some serious damage." Bulkhead finished.

"AND THROW A SURPRISE PARTY!!!" An Caboose excitedly said.

The Autobots looks at Caboose with a 'are you serious' expression with cricket sounds to be heard in the background while the humans just laughed at Caboose's suggestions.

  Suddenly, another logo of a ship appeared on screen. This one appeared to be in the desert region in west part of China.

"Also on the same frequency is an Autobot emergency beacon." Ratchet informed.

"The Decepticons can wait. There might be Autobots in distress." Optimus spoke in firm, determined tone. "Ratchet, bring your medical kit."

"If you find new friends! I got the confetti for their welcome!" Caboose added excitedly.

"Now is not the time, Caboose!" Ratchet yelled out, as he activates the Groundbridge.

-Location: Taklimakan Desert, China-

  A groundbridge portal swirled to life on a low, sandy hill. Stepping out of the vortex was Optimus Prime and Ratchet, the later holding a metal case. It was nighttime, the wind was blowing, and the full moon was lighting up the sky and the desert landscape. The two Autobots looked forward at the wrecked Cybertronian ship lying half buried in a hill of sand.

  "A crash landing..." Optimus deduced, "buried here for centuries."

  Minutes later, Optimus and Ratchet made it to the hull of the ship and, with the help of Ratchet's welding torch, cut a circle straight through the bulkhead. Optimus punched it and let it pop off inside. Turning on their headlights, they entered inside a small, dark corridor.

"If they traveled in stasis mode there could be survivors." Ratchet proclaimed, hoping that was the case.

  The two Autobots stopped when they came to a door sealed shut. However, that didn't stop Optimus as he placed his servos between the cracks and pulled them apart. Steadily, the doorway opened, allowing them to enter.
