(TFP starcee) The Point of No Return

Tomorrow Part Two: This Means War

Megatron cleared his throat then began to speak, for most of last night Megatron has been coming up with with a plan to rescue his comrades and to destroy Mech once and for all and after knowing what they did to predaking, he was taking extra precautions, especially if silas is capable of such horrible acts of violence. But, to be honest shockwave and Airachnid are much more worse and can cause more damage to their victims in a spark beat.
"First off we need the coordinates to where shockwave and Airachnid are being held captive as soon as predaking is awake. And when we have them soundwave will send out laserpeak to search the area for any weak points and easy escape routes.
once all of that's done we'll bring out our ancient relics and see which ones will be using for this job and who will be using them. And as we know there is only one more relic left that we need to find and then after that one team will take out most of their defences while the other is looking for shockwave and Airachnid" Megatron explained then everyone looked up towards the door and saw a half asleep predaking lightly stomping into the main room.
"*yawn!* sorry I'm late, did I miss much?" Predaking asked while rubbing his good optic.
"No, not much but how are you big guy, are you feeling any better?" Arcee replied with another question and predaking smiled slightly while looking down at her.
"Yes I'm feeling much better now, thank you for asking Arcee" the King replied then looked to Megatron and the others.
"It's nice to see you finally awake your majesty but there is something I need to ask you" Optimus piped up.
"Sure thing prime, what is your question?" The predacon formally asked with a gesture of his large claw.
"In your story you mentioned a reoccurring symbol on the walls, can you remember it was for us please if you can ?" The prime said so gently and calmly.
"Vaguely but I'll try, uh... is there something I can use to draw it" he requested and within a nanoklick he was handed a large data pad with a blank screen and was told to just use his digit to draw the symbol and so he spent a minute drawing while everyone waited for him to finish.
"You know I wouldn't be surprised if it was area fifty-one, a lot of crazy stuff happens that place.hehe" Arcee giggled then heard both knockout and ratchet crack a smile or giggle, making Megatron look down at them with a raised optic ridge. Soundwave pulled up a quick picture and info about area fifty-one and Megatron fully understood now and he smirked.
"Ok I think I'm done now" predaking said and presented the picture.

"Huh that looks very familiar, I don't know why" Megatron mumble mostly to himself and looked over to soundwave who immediately scanned the image and logged it into the computer only to find nothing making him shrug his shoulders?
"Well then I guess we'll just have to dive a little deeper into your memories with the cortical physic patch, hopefully we can find where the location is that way"
"And in the mean time we should gather up our strength and inform the rest of our teams of the plan" Optimus said and glanced over at soundwave. "Soundwave could you please bridge us back to base" soundwave nodded and displayed the base's coordinates and a groundbridge sprung to life right in front predaking, he quickly stepped back a bit then Optimus and ratchet were about to walk through it until suddenly....

Bulkhead, bee and smokescreen all one at a time ran through the smoke filled portal with the sparklings held in bulkhead's arms, they all ran straight into predaking sending him flying backwards and into the hallway as soon as the doors opened. The rest of the cybertronians all were very shocked and soundwave immediately closed the portal and everyone rushed into the hallway. Both Starscream and Arcee ran over to their kids and held them in their arms tightly , Starscream with ArkAngel and Arcee with QuickSilver, the sparklings were shaking and crying so much that it took their parents about five minutes to calm them down.
During that time bulkhead, bee and smokescreen were explaining what had happened, while predaking was recovering from that sudden sparkattack while leaning against the edge of the door way.
"What happened!" Ratchet demanded as he and knockout were patching up bumblebee and smokescreen's wounds.
"I- I don't know who they were but they were definitely human and they attacked the base and we were going to contact you but everything happened so quickly and..." Bulkhead ramble on until Optimus place his servo on the wrecker's shoulder plates.
"Calm down bulkhead and talk slowly, were our human comrades there with you?" The leader asked urgently.
*no they weren't thank primus, we took them to school before we were attacked* bee chirped in.
"Mech must of tracked you guys back to base after dropping the kids off" ratchet said then turned off his blow torch, bee rolled his injured arm and stood up. *how are the kids?* he glanced over at the small group and frowned, as soon as the explosions happened the sparklings were terrified out of their processors and begged to be with their parents.
"I think there ok, but very shaken up" knockout said then finished up smokescreen's leg and was about go over to check on the sparklings, but Megatron held out his servo to stop him.
"Let their parents calm them down knockout, you can smother them later with your hugs and kisses" Megatron snikered to himself as he saw the red mech buffed out his cheek plates in slight embarrassment. "Soundwave pull up an image of the autobots base" he ordered and the silent mech nodded and tapped away on the keyboard and put the image up on the main large screen and all of the autobots in the room all gasped, the screen revealed the now destroyed base.
A painful silence filled the room as every autobot felt a sting in their sparks as they all stared wide eyed at the screen, it felt so gut wrenching as they watched the place they cared about so much burn into ashes with everything they owned inside.

A minute or so passed and to break the silence knockout uncomfortable cleared his throat and said as cheerfully as possible but failed mid way.
"W-well, at least we have extra rooms for guests on the ship, hehe" he nervously picked at his collar plating while being stared down at by everyone but after another minute Optimus spoke up.
"Autobots this may be a sad day but just remember that we all have each other and have a new purpose to fight" he then saw the culprits buzzing around the smoke and then land on the ground where their leader was proudly puffing out his chest plating at his accomplishment, Optimus deeply furrowed his optic ridges in rage and balled his fists so tightly that a little bit of energon leaked out, during that time knockout also noticed the breakdown imposter and gritted his denta together with a quiet growl and just before he stormed off. Acree with her son now sleeping in her right arm walked up to the cherry red mech and placed her free servo on his right shoulder and his anger slowly dissipated then he exhaled, after getting to know each other for a long time now they both now knew each other's pain of loosing a loved one and to feel that surging rage boiling in his energon, the feeling of revenge. But they both had to calm down to think rationally about their anger because, 'it is the external wounds that heals the quickest as settling scores can sometimes help you to more on or most of the time can make you lose any hope of winning any wars any time soon. Because wisdom can not be granted, it must be earned. Sometimes at a cost'

"This means war"
