Chapter 73

Every gun raised toward the voice as Amal abruptly stood up, wincing in pain from her leg. "Wait!" She said and a man stepped out from the shadows as Optimus grabbed her arm in case he had to do anything to protect her.

"Shockwave!"

The black haired man nodded as he walked forward to the group. "Lower your weapons. It's alright." Optimus told to Spike's team, who looked at him for approval. The brown haired man nodded and they slowly lowered them with hesitation.

Amal embraced Shockwave in a hug without hesitation, breathing out happily. Shockwave held his arms up for a bit before slowly hugging back, a feeling of relief going through him.

"Oh Shocks, it's so good to see you." Amal whispered through the chocked up feeling she got inside her. Shockwave pulled away. "As for you." He replied before looking at her leg.

"You're injured."

"So I've noticed."

Shockwave gave her a look before helping her back to the table. "How'd you even get here?" Amal asked curiously. "I landed in a town in Texas and made my way here since then. I figured somebody would remember the coordinates." Shockwave said and Amal nodded.

"And maybe more will."

"Wait, you're saying this is a Decepticon base?" Spike asked, frowning. Shockwave looked at him as Amal nodded. "Shockwave and I helped create it. It's a base with coordinates only a select few know in case of an emergency." Amal explained.

"Why human size though?"

"In the event of an attack, we would transfer to our holoform's in order to remain in disguise and refrain from being caught." Amal explained before the scientist looked at Spike.

"Spike Witwicky, I remember you." Shockwave said and Spike scoffed. "You better. The shit that you've put me through." The brown haired man said before Chip elbowed him. "Be nice." He whispered and Spike rolled his eyes before continuing.

"So, who else knows these coordinates?"

"Knockout, Breakdown, Soundwave, and Starscream." Amal told him and Spike thought for a moment. "Is these anyway to contact them to let them know we're here?" Chip asked while walking to the computers and turning them on.

"We have been refraining from contacting at all to avoid Unicron finding our location or the others." Optimus told them.

"You have no safe way of contacting your team?" Lennon asked as he followed over to Chip. Optimus and Amal shook their heads before Shockwave turned to look at the computers.

"I believe I have a way of contacting somebody else though."

Bumblebee stopped at the entrance of the abandoned construction site, hesitating. "You sure this is it?" He asked his human companion, who nodded eagerly. "I'm sure of it. They have to be around here somewhere." Raf said before Bumblebee slowly inched into the site.

Raf gazed around, eyeing every vehicle until he suddenly caught sight of a certain symbol. "Wait!" He said to the scout, who stopped abruptly and Raf got out. "Raf! Be careful!" Bumblebee said as Raf ran toward the vehicle and stopped in front of the large truck.

"Breakdown?" Raf asked hesitantly. Silence followed for a few seconds. "Go away." A voice said from the truck. "Where are Knockout and Soundwave?" Raf asked. "Around here. Resting. Like me. Now go away." Breakdown told the human boy.

"I can't go away, Breakdown. Not as long as Unicron is roaming. We have to do something!" Raf said as Bumblebee approached behind him in alt form. Breakdown transformed aggressively.
