Sidestreaker

Chapter 1-Hunting Decepticon, and a Warning (REVENGE OF THE FALLEN)

For the last two years, an advanced team of new Autobots has taken refuge here under my command. Together, we form an alliance with the humans, a secret but brave squad of soldiers. A classified strike team called NEST. We hunt for what remains of our Decepticon foes hiding in different countries around the globe. And I was also thinking of what Megatron said at mission City. 

22:14 Hours - Shanghai, China 

"Two years and we're still cleaning up after the Decepticons? What have our lives come to?" I said to Sunstreaker with sideswipe listening in, and they couldn't resist a chuckle. We had been peacefully sleeping in a dog pile before they were called on this latest mission to Shanghai, and the Autobot frontliners knew from experience that their charge was not the happiest when deliberately woken up. They knew from doing a prank on her while she was sleeping last year. In the last two years, relations between Autobots and humans had grown closer, and a group of Autobots had also arrived. Optimus introduce them all to everyone. There were Arcee, Chromia and Elite-One they were triplets, Jolt, Mudflap and Skids, the latter two being twins as well. Upon landing in Shanghai, it was all go from there. Lennox headed off with Epps and several others in Black Hawk choppers to take them closer to the drop zone, others on military quad bikes and trucks were inside the trailer of a semi to get inside along with Arcee and her sisters, and Ironhide was on the same route. 

Sideswipe, Mudflap, Skids, Derek, Shika, Simba, Sunstreaker and I were already at the drop zone ahead of them, scouting out the area of the supposed sighting. "Black Hawks, you're clear to land," came the confirmation from NEST command over the intercoms, which everyone had in order to stay in communication. "RJ, bring Derek, Shika, and Simba with you to meet us." Lennox spoke without a Bluetooth device. "We have to meet Lennox and the crew, Sunny." I said and with that Sunstreaker drove to where Lennox and the crew where. I heard two distinct voices over the comms link of the other twins. "Ding-a-ling! Come out and get your ice cream." Skids said out loud. "Any bad robot out there better gets ready for an ass-whopping." Mudflap said next as I rolled my eyes. "Twins, try and keep it together." I said though the comms to Mudskids twins. "No can-do, girlie," Skids reply. "We're on a mission; I was born ready for this!" Mudflap said. "When we get back to base, I'll give them an ass-whopping," Sunstreaker muttered, and I smirked. "Can barely take anything seriously." I said to Sunny. As I got out of Sunstreaker with Derek, Shika, and Simba, they heard other commands being given out as the rest of the team approached. 

"Arcee twins, get ready to launch." Lennox said to them. "We're locked and loaded," the three sisters replied when I put in the comms. I felt anticipation and adrenaline bubbling up in my gut. This happened every time before a mission or something extreme went on, but I could never know beforehand if it would lead to a good or bad feeling with what they were about to face. "Alright, listen up, China's cover story on this one is 'toxic spill.' They had to evac the area for search and rescue. This makes six enemy contacts in eight months. We gotta make sure this one does not get out in the public eye, so keep it tight," he said. I was already getting a bad feeling about this. "Roll in Alpha through Echo now," NEST command ordered, and we knew Lennox and his team had touched down. It wasn't long after that we saw Ironhide coming to a stop, and Lennox and his team arrived moments before him. With a quick word to Sunstreaker, we went over to them and Sunstreaker transformed. Lennox gave us a nod in greeting then patted the GMC Topkick's bonnet. "I don't like this at all, Will." I said to him. "It's alright, this will be done and over with. Alright, Ironhide. We got echoes," He replied with a small smile. "They're close. Steel stacks at 2 o'clock." Epps said to Will. He stood with Epps as Ironhide transformed, his cannons out and loaded. Ironhide stood tall for a moment and seemed to sniff the air. "He's here," he said. "I smell him." Ironhide, Derek, Shika, and Simba said.
