The Bounty On Humanity (Transformers Prime Fanfiction)

Lost To The Stars

Location: Autobot Base

(Elita One's POV)

As I came out of the storage room, a faint voice echoed around the base. "Hmm." Decepticon? The team were on scouting missions while I stayed behind and guarded the base. I activated my blasters, walking slowly to the main room.

"Elita." The voice called my name. It sounded familiar. "Elita.. Elita, come in. Please open a Groundbridge. Cliffjumper is in trouble." Oh, It's just Optimus.

"On it, Optimus." I told him, locking onto his coordinates and activating the 'bridge.

He came through, quickly transforming into robot mode.

"Thank you, Elita." He stepped infront of the Groundbridge controls and took it from there.

Next thing we knew, everyone was in the base.

"Ready Autobots?" Optimus questioned.

"Just let me at them." Arcee growled as she waited to get her hands on the Decepticons.

"Autobots, roll out!" Optimus Transformed, then Bulkhead, then Arcee.

Going through, transforming and landing on our feet. Cliffjumper was nowhere to be seen, or the energon he claimed he saw had clearly been blown up, but what does that mean for Cliffjumper?

"First Decepticon activaty in three years.." Ratchet looked over the large hole in the ground. Arcee, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee went to the bottom of it.

"That we know of, if they're scouting for energon, they maybe preparing for his return." Optimus and I followed the rest of the team.

"Ow!" I stepped on something sharp.

"Elita, are you alright?" Optimus questioned.

"Ye-Yeah, I'm fine. I just stepped on a sharp object. It's stuck in the base of my foot though." I tried to shake it off but it wouldn't come out.

"Let me help you, Elita." Optimus said, kneeling down. He gently lifted up my leg, and pulled out the sharp object. Holding it in his servo.

"Cliffjumpers horn?" My optics shot open, "Oh.." This wasn't good. He must be in trouble. The Decepticons must have him.

"Ratchet, can you track his position?" Optimus asked Ratchet as he placed my leg back on the ground.

"Oh no.. I-I can't." Ratchet said.

Arcee growled, "Well, what do you mean you can't?"

"Cliffjumper's life signal, just went offline." Ratchet broke the news.

"No..." Arcee fell to her knees, "DAMN YOU, DECEPTICONS!!" She screamed, slamming her fist onto the ground.

"I'm.. so sorry." I rested my servo on her shoulder, "Good will come out of this."

Trying to believe myself, but it's not working. All the good will favor the Decepticons. For they have the advantage of numbers and we are a group of seve- I mean.. six Autobots now.

Location: The Nemesis

(Starscreams POV)

"Lord Megatron, Glad to know you had safe-" 

"STARSCREAM!!!" Megatrons voice yelled, heavy footsteps approach the Bridge. Oh Scrap.

"Explain to me, why is there another ship attached to the Nemesis?... ANSWER ME!"

Ohhhhh no...
