TRANSFORMERS PRIME: Decepticons' revenge

Scorpion's gone

It had been three days since Scorpion disappeared. Everyone was worried. But mostly Smokescreen:

- I hope I haven't upset him because I'm faster than him.

- Remember that he scanned a European car whose speed is measured in kilometers per hour. Arcee said, trying not to show that she was laughing at Scorpion. Optimus had decided to elaborate a search plan:

- We have to search through the whole state of Nevada. We will split into search teams. Bumblebee, you will be with Arcee and Bulkhead, Smokescreen and Buggy with me.

- But Optimus...what about me? Ratchet was disappointed that he would not come with us.

- Old friend... I need you more here!

- Yes, sir! He smiled proudly.

- Autobots, roll out! Let's find Scorpion.

- Scorpion didn't get lost, he ran away. I think it's psychology trick. I mussed.

- Well pointed! Ratchet replied in an optimistic tone. I think he saw in me that I deserve to be with them. I smiled...

In two weeks, Smokescreen's team searched through the entire southern part of the state. We were in the north-east. I had decided to take a break while the others were resting. I went around. I was watching the desert relief from that place, thinking that in Romania you can not see such a thing. Suddenly, behind a rock I saw an orange back of Dacia. I could not believe it. I was sure of what I was seeing. However, I went closer to see what model of Dacia is, and it was exactly the one I thought it was! A Dacia 1410 Sport. I went to the front to see the sign onthe radiator grille. It was the Decepticon insignia. How could this be? Scorpion changed the team in just 3 days. I stepped a little back and... when I started to run, Scorpion transformed and took me in his big hand. I was crying for help, because I was scared, but Bumblebee didn't answer. He thought I was pranking on them a  again. Scorpion threw me hard to the ground, aiming at me to shoot. I thought I was dead... but Optimus appeared after a rock and he started to punch him. Scorpion got scared so he transformed and left us. Optimus called the rest of the team and we started chasing him.

I was with Bee and Rafael:

- Why didn't you come and save me? I asked Bee.

- I thought you were pranking me again...

- It's only been three days since we met.

- Yeah kiddo, but you showed me what you can do.

- Bee, I don't think my life is just about pranks. I know I'm pretty funny, but I can be serious too! I assure you!

- Forget about it! Now step on it!

- Why would I accelerate? What do you expect from a 1425 CMC?

- It's a powerful car for her time. We couldn't catch him but I could see that it went to the main base of the Decepticons. Where was their leader Starscream?

After we arrived the base, Ratchet and Raf managed to break the Decepticons database. I saw everyone shocked that Scorpion was now a part of their team. We all wondered why such a choice was made.

Optimus charged me and Buggy to overwatch all their actions. After a month of inactivity, I asked him to let me go  back to Romania.

- Of course, you can. It's normal to miss your hometown. Even for us... you two will go through the

ground bridge.

- What do you mean "we will"?

- You'll take Buggy with you.

- Really???? Thank you very much, Optimus!

- But I want you to do something while you're there. I want you to take a plot of land in the vicinity of your house. Dig it as deep as you can, put cement in there, arrange it as best you can. Afterward you will put soil on top and you will also put cement on top and make it as accessible as possible.

- Like a bunker?!

- Yes, exactly!

- But what is this for?

- Just in case we'll need it. You can never know. Ratchet prepares them a ground bridge. Remember, you will first arrive in England. From there you can handle it.

- Okay.

- By the way, do you have a car?

- Of course I do.

- Ok. See you soon, little friend.

We entered the ground bridge, very cautious because we didn't know what to expect on the other side. In the end it was good. We continued our journey for two days, maybe a little more until we reached Romania. When we were in Cluj, Buggy asked me:

- Optimus asked you what type of car do you have.

- Yes, you're right!

- I'm curious about what car you have!

- You'll see it when we get there. I think we'll be good friends. At least I hope so.

- Don't worry. I'm not like Scorpion...a big traitor.

- That's good to hear...I guess. At about half-past eight in the evening we reached home. And ... Buggy saw my car behind the house. I was just unpacking when I heard him laughing in a hiss, near the car. I quickly went out... :

- Shhh! Be quiet! This is not America. If my neighbors hear you, I'll get arrested.

- Sorry. Is this the car you were talking about?

- Of course, Buggy!

- Really?! It's broken! And it's half dismantled.

- Before I met you, I was a normal person. And this car was in the process of being restored.

- Why this one? You're not creative at all. I would have chosen something else. An Austin, a Porsche, or a Bentley. You chose the Volkswagen Beetle. Very creative!

- You'll see at the end when it will be ready.

- Whatever. When do we get to do what Optimus told us?

- Later. In about two weeks.

- Ok.

- You must stay in the garage. I'm sorry, but I can't let you drive around on your own. In Romania, it is strange to see a car without a driver.

- Okay. I don't like it but I will respect this stupid rule.

After those two weeks, we started digging and constructing the bunker.
