Chapter 1 On a routine patrol two slender female Autobot’s one a metallic red and black Trans-Am, the other a pinkish and purplish Camaro approach a small abandoned town 100 miles from the Ark. On the lookout for Decepticon activity, from the last briefing Decepticon activity was reported what the Decepticon’s are up to that was still unclear.
Just outside of town about 2 miles a Decepticon picks up the two Autobot’s moving through on its scanner, taking a closer look of whom the Autobot’s were an evil smirk slither across its face. “Well, well what do we have here?” Optimus usually doesn’t let the girls go anywhere without an escort,” the Decepticon continues to watch the two females, as it alerts Megatron.
The metallic red and black Trans-Am took the lead for a few minutes before coming up to an intersection and turning to the right. C> I’m heading down this way Elita. Stingray said into her comm.
C> Let me know if you pick up any activity Stingray, Elita out.
C> Yes Madam, Stingray speeds off scanning the surrounding area.
Elita continues driving straight also scanning the surrounding area.
Megatron walks over to the other con, “Rumble what is it? And it better be good,” Megatron snarls.
Rumble gulps a little looking up to Megatron, “Sir I’ve picked up two female Autobot’s out on patrol and they don’t have an escort,” Rumble said.
Megatron stands there a moment there was such any evil glare in his optics it would scare any Decepticon out of its wits. C> Starscream and Thundercracker report to me immediately I have a mission for you two. Megatron said into his comm.
C> Yes Sir! The two of them said unison. Starscream and Thundercracker transformed into their jet modes, Starscream opens his cockpit Rumble jumps in and they take off.
Stingray had just finished scanning the last part of the sector; she turns around and heads down another sector scanning.
Elita-1 does the same as she scans the next sector in front of her. Opening her comm. C> Stingray do you detect and Decepticon activity?
C> No I haven’t picked up anything up on my sensors Elita. Stingray said into her comm.
C> I don’t like this one bit there should be activity in this area and its way to quiet. Elita said into her comm.
C> I don’t like it either Elita maybe the Decepticons have left. Stingray said into her comm.
C> Not a chance whatever they are up to they haven’t left I can feel it my circuits. We’ll keep looking Stingray. Elita out.
Stingray sighed she also had a bad feeling too she kept on scanning the surrounding area as she turned to her right.
Thundercracker transformed as he landed about 200 meters from where Stingray was. He hides behind the factory.
Starscream lands on the opposite side of town where Elita-1 was heading opening his hatch.
Rumble jumps out both of them hide behind another factory.
Thundercracker waits for Stingray to get a little closer before he attacks her.
Starscream looks down to Rumble, “get ready to use you’re pile drivers,” Starscream said.
“You know Megatron said to bring them to him not to hurt them,” Rumble said.
“Shut-up you fool, Megatron said to bring them in any way that is fit, now get those pile drivers ready!” Starscream snapped.
Rumble grumbles to himself as he gets his pile drivers ready.
Starscream motions Rumble to start the shaking of the ground, as he opened his comm. C>Thundercracker proceed with your attack on Stingray. Starscream out.
C>with pleasure. Thundercracker out.
Rumble pounds the ground.
Thundercracker opens fire on Stingray.
Elita-1 rounded one more corner as she saw Rumble in the middle of the street, as the ground splits down the middle right at Elita-1; Elita skids to a halt transforming into robot mode as she lands in the huge hole Stingray dodges the rounds fired from Thundercracker.
Elita-1 quickly gets up and jumps out of the hole she fires off a round at Rumble.
Stingray transforms and dives behind a building pulling out her laser cannon as she fired off a couple of rounds at Thundercracker.
The fired round from Elita hits Rumble in the left leg going down he curses as he limps behind a car.
The fired rounds from Stingray miss Thundercracker altogether. Taking advantage stepping out from behind his cover he fired off one more round at Stingray.
Starscream fires off a round at Elita-1.
Elita ducks behind cover again as the round misses her; she takes a chance as she moves to another position.
Stingray sees the incoming round she moves to the right as she moved out from her cover and firing off two rounds at Thundercracker as she quickly moved to another spot getting a little closer to him.
Seeing that Elita-1 was taking up another position, Starscream takes two steps from his cover and fires off his knoll ray cannon at Elita.
Thundercracker saw the incoming rounds, he moves to the left then to the right as one of the rounds grazed his right shoulder. He cursed to himself as he decided to take the fight to Stingray he headed towards her.
Elita-1 unfortunately was hit by the knoll ray cannon as it stunned her; she fell to the ground.
Starscream snickered evilly as he walked over to the stunned body of Elita-1, kicking her in the chest. Although Elita couldn’t move she could feel the jolt.
Stingray saw Thundercracker heading towards her she picks up her pace and heads towards him. It looked like they were playing chicken in a different way.
Starscream picked up Elita, opened his comm. C> Thundercracker, you contained your opponent? He asked in comm.
C> It seems like the other female is giving me a little more trouble; I’ll have her contained in a few minutes, Thundercracker out. Just as Thundercracker flipped his comm. Off he collided with Stingray.
Both of them fell backwards. Stingray is the first to get up she jumped on Thundercracker striking his jaw.
Thundercracker is taken by surprise of how quick this female is. His optics narrow in anger as he nailed Stingray in the midsection.
Stingray rolled off Thundercracker holding her midsection slightly winded.
Thundercracker quickly got up to his feet he aimed his weapon at her.
Stingray looks at Thundercracker taking a risk she quickly swings her right leg and sweeps Thundercracker off his feet again. She stood up taking a deep breath to catch her breath.
Starscream transformed to his jet mode, “Rumble get Elita-1 in here and get yourself in here too.”
It took Rumble a few minutes to get Elita-1 into Starscream’s cockpit and then he finally climbs in, “Let’s get out of here before we run into any more trouble,” Rumble said.
Starscream didn’t say anything as he closed the hatch, then he flies off to the other side of town where Thundercracker and Stingray are.
Thundercracker glares at Stingray, cursing wildly at her, “why you rotting, fragging little brat you’re going to pay for that!” Thundercracker jumped at Stingray.
“Yeah, let’s see what you can do w-u-s-s-y face! Stingray moves to her left as she swings her right fist into Thundercracker’s midsection.
Starscream swoops down out of nowhere as he fires off his knoll ray cannon at Stingray.
The knoll ray hits Stingray in the back she falls forward face first into the ground as she couldn’t move and is knocked out.
Thundercracker quickly gets his bearings back, looking up to Starscream he didn’t say anything picking up Stingray and flies back to where Megatron and the others are.
Back at Autobot headquarters Striker walked into Medbay walked over to Ratchet, “hey Ratchet have you seen Stingray lately?”
Ratchet stops what he was working on looking over to Striker, “No I haven’t seen her lately,” Ratchet said going back to his work.
“If you see her tell her I need to talk to her about something,” Striker said turning around before walking out.
“Sure thing Striker is there something wrong?” Ratchet asked as he continues working.
“It’s nothing important Ratchet just need to see her that’s all,” Striker said walking out of Medbay having a gut feeling that she was in trouble.
Ratchet stopped working for a moment then went back to work shrugging off the bad feeling he had also.
Striker walked back to his quarters, sits down at his desk he wanted to go and search for her but he knew she could take care of herself. Flipping the computer on he catches up on the latest briefing and news of what’s been going with the Decepticons; he just got from his patrol a few hours ago. Standing up he walks out of his quarters, then walks down to security, “Hey Ironhide who is on the latest patrol?” He asked.
Ironhide pulls up a screen with the names of who were out on patrol and there was a special patrol in sector 5-D-34.
Striker looked at the special patrol saw that Stingray and Elita-1 were on that list. “It is unusual for the gals to go out on patrol without an escort, when do you think they will be back?” Striker asked.
Ironhide looked at Striker, “like the screen said special patrol, it will be a few more hours before they will return.” Ironhide said.
“Thanks Ironhide,” Striker said, leaving the room.
“No problem kid, it looks like you were interested in the special patrol,” Ironhide said. Striker stopped as he turned around looking at Ironhide, “Yeah Stingray is on patrol she is my sister, just wondering where she was that’s all. Again thanks,” Striker gave Ironhide a thumbs up, as he left.
Ironhide goes back to work.
Little did Striker know that Stingray was in trouble and it would be a long while before he would find her?
Starscream, Rumble and Thundercracker return. Starscream opened his hatch Rumble climbs out then drags Elita-1 out.
Starscream transforms to his robot mode.
Thundercracker landed next to Starscream with Stingray in his arms.
“Here you go mighty Megatron bot females although Stingray is quiet feisty when it comes to fighting gave Thundercracker a hard time,” Starscream said smirking
“Good work Starscream, Rumble and Thundercracker. Our work is done here for the time being. Astrotrain come over here now!” Megatron ordered.
Astrotrain was there in a second, “yes Megatron?” he asked.
“Take the female Autobot’s back to the land base, as the Autobot’s don’t know about the second base, leave Elita-1 in my personal quarters, and Stingray in the brig as I have plans for both of them make sure they are comfortable. Starscream take Mixmaster with you to town and get rid of any evidence of there being a struggle with the two females,” Megatron ordered.
“Yes Sir!” both Starscream and Mixmaster said in unison then they headed back to town.
Thundercracker cuffed both Elita-1 and Stingray hen loaded them up in Astrotrain then he gets in.
Astrotrain takes off and heads for the land base.
Megatron heads back to the land base with the others.
It was nearly nightfall, Stingray and Elita-1 had not returned from the special patrol. Striker started to worry about Stingray he stood just outside of the entrance of the Ark. A few minutes later Ratchet steps out as he sees Striker standing just outside of the entrance as it seemed like he was worried about something.
Walking over to him, “hey there Striker it looks like you are stressed about something.”
Striker looked over his shoulder, then he turns around to face Ratchet, “Stingray hasn’t returned from her patrol, as she was assigned to a special patrol along with Elita-1. I’m really worried about her I have a bad feeling that she is in trouble,” Striker sighed deeply.
“You know I have that feeling too, but you have to give Stingray a lot of credit she can take care of herself she can kick metal arse pretty slagging good and she is an awesome warrior and you are an awesome warrior too,” Ratchet said with an uneasy voice.
“I know, Sis can take care of herself, but I can’t help not worrying about her,” Striker said looking up the sky.
“You and I both Striker, how about you and I have a friendly game of poker? At least it will pass the time until Stingray and Elita-1 return,” Ratchet said with a smile.
“Sure why not, I’m not very good at poker shall we?” Striker asked.
Ratchet nodded as the two walk back inside.
Optimus was in his office looking over some reports, setting the data pad down. Growing concern that the special patrol hadn’t returned. He opened the intercom for security, “Ironhide has Elita-1 and Stingray reported back?”
“No Sir, they have not reported back and they are 4 hours over due to report back. Would you like me to track them down?” Ironhide asked.
“No Ironhide I’ll take a look myself,” Optimus out. Optimus closes the intercom. “Telatran-1 what is the current location of Elita-1 and Stingray?”
It takes a few minutes for Telatran-1 to respond, “Location of Elita-1 and Stingray unknown. Last known location of Elita-1 and Stingray were sector 5-D-34 as 4 hours ago. Either Elita-1 or Stingray have reported in.”
Optimus puts a hand on his chin pondering as to why they have not reported in. Maybe they ran into Decepticons; if they did Elita or Stingray would have reported in and requested for back-up. It was unlike them not to. Optimus had a very uneasy feeling that made is fluids run cold.

Chapter 2
Astrotrain landed in the hanger bay; opens the back of his train mode. Thundercracker steps out with Elita-1 and Stingray. Astrotrain transforms to robot mode taking Elita-1, "Wonder what Megatron had planned for the females?" Astrotrain asked.
Thundercracker shuddered, "torture them until one of them breaks," Thundercracker headed off for the brig. Astrotrain shudders as he headed off for Megatron's quarters.
Prims stood up from his desk walking out of his office he contacts Prowl, Hound and Wheeljack to meet him in the briefing room.
Ratchet and Striker were walking down the hallway when they saw Optimus walking down the hallway by the look on his optics something was up or wrong, they moved to the side to let Optimus pass.
Optimus stops a few feet in front of Striker, "Striker come with me, Ratchet stand by in Medbay."
"Yes Sir!" both of them said in unison. Ratchet headed back to Medbay as Striker went with Optimus.
Starscream and Mixmaster were just about done ridding the evidence of the struggle, "come on Mixmaster hurry up and finish and let's get out of here, don't want to miss torture party," Starscream barked at Mixmaster.
Mixmaster grumble under his breath for a moment, "cool you're jets hot head, if you don't I'm going to seal you're trap!" Mixmaster said angrily finishing up the work.
Starscream glared at Mixmaster transforms as he jets off. Mixmaster does the same as he speeds off after Starscream.
Striker and Optimus enter the briefing room. Hound, Prowl and Wheeljack were waiting. Striker moved over tot he other side of the table taking a seat as they turned their attention to Optimus.
Astrotrain enters Megatron's quarters setting Elita-1 down on the floor taking her weapons he shackles Elita to the wall, and then leaves.
Thundercracker entered the brig, Blitzwing was on guard, looking at the prize that Thundercracker brought in. Drooling over the fresh metal, look who we have here, it looks like Elita-1's friend Stingray, where is Elita-1?' Blitzwing asked.
"Megatron's quarters pre his request," Thundercracker said setting Stingray down taking her weapons and draining a little energon from Stingray so she isn't so feisty when she comes around, then he shackles her to the wall. Stepping out of the cell turning on the laser bars.
"Slag and I was going to have some fun with both of them, "Blitzwing grinned evilly.
"Blitzwing you are just s nuts as Megatron is," Thundercracker said walking out of the brig.
Optimus looks at the scouting party, "men we have two missing Autobot's."
"Who are they?" Hound asked.
"Stingray and Elita-1, they were on a special patrol scouting out possible Decepticon activity they have not returned, they were due back 4 hours ago.
"What was their last known location?" Hound asked.
"Stingray and Elita-1 were at this location sector 5-D-34."
"With all due respect Sir, we should scout the area when there will be more light, buy the time we reach sector 5-D-34 it will be dark," Prowl said.
"Note taken Prowl. We're heading out there now I don't like leaving Stingray and Elita-1 out there alone and the matter of leaving any other Autobot out alone. Transform and roll out!" Optimus said transforming.
The others transformed as they rolled out behind Optimus.
Shortly after Astrotrain and Thundercracker arrived at the base. Megatron and the others arrive; Megatron looks at the others, don't disturb me while I'm wreaking havoc on our guest of honor," Megatron opens his comm. Link to the brig, C>Blitzwing do your copy?
C> this is Blitzwing, what is your command Megatron?" Blitzwing asked into his comm. Link.
C> Blitzwing, do whatever it takes to get the information out our guest, Megatron out.
C> Yes Sir! was heard over the comm. Link.
Megatron enters is quarters walking over to Elita-1 who should be coming around shortly taking a seat near her rubbing his hand eagerly together as he cackles evilly.
The Autobot scouting party arrived at sector 5-D-34; there was maybe 45 minutes of daylight left, Optimus transformed, "Hound go with Striker to the south side and west of town, Prowl, Wheeljack you are with me, move out." Optimus said moving to the north and east of town.
Elita-1 finally came around, opening her optics as she tried to move but she couldn't, looking around as she sees Megatron.
Megatron glares evilly at Elita, "well look what the cat dragged in, or is Optimus getting feeble in his old age," Megatron cackles as he sets down a metal box filled with nasty torture tools. "Glad you could make the party," Megatron picks up a small blade, taking the blade lifting up her chin so he was looking right into her optics.
Daylight gives away to darkness. Hound and Striker meet up with the others, "Sir we've searched everywhere, there was not sign of trouble anywhere," Hound reported.
Optimus wasn't convinced in the least he knew deep down there had to been some kind of struggle somewhere in this sector, or the Decepticons are wising up and covering their tracks. As to covering up an operation of some kind, "Thank-you Hound and Striker, we also came up emptied handed too Hound, Striker, Wheeljack and Prowl head back to headquarters, I will remain here for the night if Elita and Stingray should return here," Optimus said.
Prowl looked at Optimus you have to be kidding? Sir I wouldn't recommend you staying here alone at least let me stay here with you. Don't want anything happening to you Optimus," Prowl said with a friendly and concerned vice.
Optimus putting a hand on Prowl's shoulder, "Prowl I need you to hold the fort down, I know you can handle it. For the rest of you go with Prowl back headquarters.
"Sir, at least let me say with you in case something happens," Striker said.
"No Striker! I will not allow it. I know you are concerned about Stingray, she is a very find warrior and is very capable of taking care of herself as is Elita is also," Optimus said to Striker.
Striker really didn't like the answer; he transformed as the others did and headed back to the Ark.
Blitzwing stepped out of the brig to stock up on torture tools it would only take a few minutes to gather them up.
Stingray finally came around, "Aww slag Starscream, I'm going to kick you're metal arse into the next galaxy when I see you again. I hat that slagging knoll ray," Stingray muttered quietly. She tried to move her arms but she couldn't, turns her head to see to the right seeing that her arms were shackled to the wall, "Sneaks, are you okay?" she asked.
Sneaks from his hiding spot in Stingray's left forearm he squeaked once, the door slid open as Sneaks fell onto Stingray's shoulder; he falls off her shoulder transforms to his robot mode. Quickly shakes himself looking up to Stingray seeing that she was kind of in a bind his energon saw flips out he jumps up onto Stingray's shoulder was about to saw through the shackles when he heard something he saw flipped back.
Stingray quickly looks around the cell seeing if there was a vent or something Sneaks could hide behind. Seeing there was a vent looking at Sneaks, "Sneaks jump up to the vent and stay there for a few minutes and then find a way out, find Striker and Optimus record where we are before you head out. Now get out of here before you are caught," Stingray said to her pet companion.
Sneaks squeals once as he jumped up to the vent transforming to his disk mode and slid between the vent and the wall, transforming back to his bot mode he watched Stingray for a few minutes.
Blitzwing steps back into the brig with his tools setting the tools down, looks into Stingray's cell sees that she had come around he smirks evilly stepping towards Stingray's cell raising his hand to his mouth wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth.
Stingray shook her head knowing she was in for the long haul and some good old torture and it wasn't going to be pretty either, "what's the wiping of the drool form the corner of your mouth slagging idiot," Stingray snapped.
Elita-1 looks at Megatron a shiver passes trough her body, "what do you want?" Elita asked coldly.
Once Prowl, Striker, Hound and Wheeljack were out of sight Optimus began looking for anything that might have been covered up that would suggest there was as struggle of some kind with the girls.
Prowl, Striker, Hound and Wheeljack arrived back at the Ark. Prowl briefed the others before returning to his post. Hound returned to his quarters, Wheeljack walked back to his lab, while Striker walked to Medbay angry with himself finds a corner and sits there and mopes.
Megatron snickers evilly slowly moving the blade from her chin down her neck, "To extract information from you about a secret stash of energon and advance rocket fuel. If you tell me now I'll let you unharmed."
Blitzwing stops in front of the cell, "it's been along while since I've had any fresh metal to play with and you happen to be on the menu my pretty also to get any information form ya as well," he turns off the laser bars to the cell stepping in and in front of Stingray taking his hand lifting Stingray's chin up looking into her pretty green optics.
"What? I don't know anything about those," Elita snorted.
Megatron move the blade down her to her chest leaning close to her.
Stingray turned her head to the side she couldn't even look into the evil optics of Blitzwing.
Blitzwing's hand moved slowly down her neck then down to her chest takes a small hook that was hidden behind his back as he slowly moves around from his back keeping it out of sight from Stingray.

Chapter 3
Ratchet noticed Striker had returned from whatever Optimus had for him to do, walking over to him seeing the worried look in his optics he had a feeling it had to with Stingray and he was worried just as much as Striker if not more. Kneeling down next to Striker, "Hey Striker what did Optimus want you for?" He asked.
Striker turned his head to Ratchet, "Optimus myself, Hound, Prowl and Wheeljack went out on a scouting party looking for sis and Elita-1 but there was no evidence of any struggle. Optimus ordered us to come back he stayed behind just in case sis and Elita-1 returned to sector 5-D-34," Striker let out a sigh. "I know sis and Elita-1 are in trouble I can feel it in my circuits," Striker said again.
Ratchet putting a hand on Striker's shoulder, " I know the feeling Striker I've had this gut wrenching feeling something is wrong, I just hope Stingray and Elita-1 can make it back or at least hold out until we can get to them," Ratchet said with a concerned voice. "But in the meantime Striker why don't you join me for a glass of energon it looks like you need one," Ratchet winked.
Striker smiled standing up, "well if you insist, shall we?"
Ratchet stood up as the both of them walked to his medical office, pouring two glasses of energon one for himself and the other for Striker.
Megatron leaned a little closer to Elita; his mouth touch her neck as he slightly moved it up and down the side of it.
Elita shivers; she lifts up her right leg and pushes Megatron off her then she spits in his face, "get off me you slagging monster!" Elita said coldly.
Blitzwing moves his hand across Stingray's chest then back to the other side again; once could see the pure delight in his optics.
Stingray had the worst sickening feeling of what was going to happen. She raised her left leg and pushes Blitzwing away, "Gah! You are the most discussing thing I've ever seen!" Stingray snorted angrily.
Blitzwing's optics narrow slightly with pleasure, "when I'm done with you, you're going to wish you were dead," Blitzwing stepped back towards Stingray with lighting speed he thrusts the hook blade into Stingray's chest as he twisted the hood of her chest.
Stingray bits back from not screaming out in pain. Sneaks was up in the vent he recoded what happened and then he quickly heads down the vent finding his way out of the base.
Megatron staggers back as the blade slight cuts into Elita's neck.
Elita bites back from not screaming, closing her optics.
Megatron steps back in front of Elita, "that was every unwise of you, now suffer my wrath!" Megatron takes the blade and pushes it through her left shoulder.
Blitzwing twisted the hood and then pulls it out.
Stingray gasps for air but she didn't scream out, looking at Blitzwing she spits in his face again.
Blitzwing just smirked evilly stepping up to her he leans right into her face as she puts his mouth on Stingray's cheek then over her mouth as if he was going to kiss her. "Where is the location of the stash of energon and the location of the advance rocket fuel?" Blitzwing asked.
Stingray was silent she wasn't going to tell this creep anything.
"Oh you want to play silent? Well my pretty I will get the information out ya one way or another," Blitzwing takes the shackles off Stingray.
Stingray managed to mustard up enough strength to punch Blitzwing in the face.
Blitzwing was quicker he stepped in front of Stingray taking into his powerful arms, "you're not going anywhere the part is about to start this was just a warm up," Blitzwing moves tot h another part of the brig sets Stingray on the table that looked like a torture table. He straps Stingray's arms and legs before he moved on.
Elita-1 closes her optics, as she kept silent as the blade punched a hole in her left shoulder.
Megatron twisted the blade in her shoulder, "where is the stash of energon and the location of the advance rocket fuel?" Megatron asked again.
Elita, spits in Megatron's face she wasn't going to give in no matter what, she stayed silent.
It was nearly midnight still no sign of Stingray and Elita-1.
Striker at this point was a nerves wreck, "come on sis what's taking you so long?"
Ratchet walks over to Striker, "Striker calm down, Stingray will be back soon have faith in her please..." Ratchet said with a calm voice.
Striker wanted to believe Ratchet, he pushed Ratchet away he stared walking towards the door.
Ratchet quickly grabbed Striker's arm, "listen Striker, Stingray will be fine, trust me I know her she knows what she is doing. Just cool your jets and calm down!" Ratchet said with a slightly angered voice.
Striker wanted to belt Ratchet lowering his head, "sorry for loosing my cool. It's just that Stingray mans so much to me."
"I know Striker, Stingray means a lot to me also," Ratchet said to Striker.
Megatron's optics narrow in anger by the silence from Elita-1, "you think you are tough think again," Megatron back hands Elita in the face then he pulls out the blade in her left shoulder setting the blade back in the box he took out another blade that was slightly curved as he thrusts it into her midsection.
Stingray tried to struggle, but the straps were very tight. Looking over to Blitzwing, "I'm not going to tell you anything scrap heap and you're not going to break me," Stingray snapped.
"Oh but I will break you my pretty," Blitzwing brushes his face against Stingray's face, as he moves his face down her neck brushing his face against her neck then he moves his mouth up and down her neck.
With Sneaks moving through the vents it didn't go unnoticed with the audios of Ravage, wondering was in the vents he moves to a vent near the floor taking the grate off h e enters the as he homed in on what was lurking in the vents.
Optimus was still looking for evidence but it seemed hopeless it was hopeless it was too dark to find anything. Sitting down his fist hits the ground angry that he let the girls go on their own. He knew the risk they would be taking for the patrol but it was the only way to get information on the activity of the Decepticons, Elita, Stingray, hold on I will find you both.Optimus sets his weapon on his lap he closes his optics for a few minutes daylight would return in a few hours.
Starscream and Mixmaster return to base. Starscream headed for Megatron's quarters, he knocks on the door, "Megatron everything is set and rid of, May I joint the party?"
Megatron glares angrily at Starscream pulling out his cannon and aims it at Starscream, "Starscream get out her now! Unless you want to be blown up! I said was not to be disturbed while I'm interrogating our guest of honor. and that goes for you and the others now get out of might sight before I blow you into a scrap pile!" Megatron said, as he fired off a shot at Starscream.
Starscream dived out of the way and then quickly made his way out of Megatron's quarters. Stalking down the hallway, "No one speaks to me that way no one," Starscream muttered angrily.
Elita gasped for air as he head snapped to the side from the backhand, she tried quickly to get her breath back. She watched Megatron down size Starscream she braced herself again.
Ravage quickly catches up with Sneaks, as his heat seeking missiles pop up from his back.
Sneaks stops dad in his tracks as he heard something from behind him pulling out his rocket launcher, hissing at Ravage.
Stingray struggle to loosen the straps on her arms and legs moving her head away from Blitzwing, "Argh...get away from you slagging monster!" Stingray said and once again spits in his face.
This gives Blitzwing all the more pleasure. Wiping the spit off his face he sets his mouth on her cheek then moved it over to her mouth as he savagely mulled her, his hand moved up and down her chest and midsection.
Megatron moves back over to Elita-1, "where were we? Ahh I know where I left off," he moved in close to Eltia-1's face . His face brushed again her cheek then he moved his mouth to her mouth as he kissed her, one of his hands moved across her chest.
Stingray moved her head back and forth trying to get away from Blitzwing; biting back as hard as she could she won't going to scream. Closing her optics a tear rolled down her cheek.
Sneaks moves back a little as he gets ready to make a bolt from Ravage still hissing at him. Elita-1 brought up her left and slams it into Megatron's midsection.
Megatron staggers back for a moment.
Elita spits out the mech fluid form her mouth.
Megatron is furious at this point taking the hook blade he moves towards Elita hitting the right shoulder with the blade as he rips the armor and circuits in her shoulder. "Where is the location of the energon and rocket fuel?" He asked again.
Elita bit back some but she finally lets out a scream, "I'm not going to tell you nothing slagging scrap pile!" Elita snorted angrily.
Once again Megatron backhands her in the face then he punches her in the midsection.
Blitzwing stands back looking down at Stingray, "where is the stash of energon and the location of the rocket fuel?" he asked once again.
Once again, Stingray clams up. Blitzwing's optics narrow in anger, "You're grunting for a real punishment girl and you're going to regret is as well," Blizwing picks up a slightly bigger hook blade he pushes it into Stingray's midsection and slowly rips it open and upwards towards her chest.
Elita-1 closes her optics gasping for air. Megatron decided to give her a break, leaving the main part of his quarters he walks out and head down to the brig to see if Blizwing had any success with in getting information out of Stingray.

Chapter 4
As night gave way to daylight Optimus opens his optics, opens his comm. C> Prowl do you copy?
C> This is Prowl Optimus, Prowl said into his comm.
C> Prowl gather up the scouting party from yesterday and have Ranger join as well, meet here as soon as you can, Optimus out.
C> Yes Sir! Prowl said flipping his comm. off, he leaves his post as he gathers the others. Stopping first to get Striker and Ranger, Prowl walks into Medbay, entering seeing Striker, Ratchet and Ranger stopping in front of the trio.
Striker looked at Prowl, "Is Stingray back along with Elita-1?" Striker asked.
"No both of them haven't returned yet Striker; Optimus just radio me asking for the members of the scouting party from last night. Ranger Optimus requested you to join the scouting party also," Prowl said to the trio.
"Alright I'm ready anytime guys," Ranger said.
"I'm ready also Prowl," Striker said.
"Meet me outside," Prowl said walking out of Medbay gathering the others.
Ranger and Striker were waiting outside when; Prowl, Hound and Wheeljack walk out. "Transform and move out men," Prowl transformed as he speeds off to sector 5-D-34. The others transform as well as they speed off or fly after Prowl.
Stingray gasps for air and chokes on the mech fluid in her mouth and throat as the hook slowly moves up her midsection and chest area. She finally screams out in pain as her body jerks.
Megatron stops outside of the brig as he heard Stingray scream chuckling evilly he walks into the brig.
Blitzwing noticed something or someone walked into the brig. Stopping as he looked up to see it was Megatron who just entered, he pulls the hook out of Stingray sets the hook down then walks over to Megatron.
Ravage leapt forward at Sneaks slashing his claw at him.
Sneaks slides under Ravage he stands up and knocks the feline on his back. Sneaks was about to kick his rocket boosters on, when Ravage clawed him in his back, hissing and growling lowly, Sneaks quickly uses his laser eye as he fires off a shot at Ravage's left front leg.
"Blitzwing what information do you have?" Megatron asked.
"Sorry Sir, but this one is really giving me a hard time with extracting information she is being too stubborn, to know what is good for her," Blitzwing said to Megatron.
"I have a way of getting that information, rack Stingray. I'll just have Elita-1 watch her friend literally being pulled apart; we should have that information by the end of the day. Give Stingray a break and get yourself recharged Blitzwing, excellent job so far," Megatron cackles as he walks out of the brig.
Blitzwing racks Stingray up then he steps out as he went to recharge.
The shot from Sneaks grazes Ravage's front left leg losing his balance, Ravages snarls as he bolts after Sneaks.
Sneaks was a good 50 feet ahead of Ravage winding his way through the venting system.
Ravage had an idea of where Sneaks might be heading he takes another route as he heads Sneaks off at the pass. Ravage stays out of sight until Sneaks comes around the corner.
Elita struggled to free her hands; but shackles were tight enough where she couldn't slip them out. Lowering her head, have to find a way out, have to tell Optimus that the Decepticons have a land base as well.Closing her optics as her body jerks a little.
Ravages sees Sneaks coming down the vent he quietly moves until he is behind Sneaks. And then he takes a running jump at Sneaks and crash tackles Sneaks to the floor as they both slide a few feet.
About an hour later, the scouting party arrives at sector 5-D-34 transforming to robot mode standing at attention in front of Optimus.
"Scouting party reporting pre request by you Sir," Prowl said.
"At ease men, Prowl, Hound you two search the East side of once you are finished search the outer perimeter about 10 miles. Wheeljack you are with me, we will search the South and West sides of town and expand out the search 10 miles also, Ranger once you are done I want an overall sweep of the entire town and 10 miles out. Ranger go with Striker and search the North side of town . Move out if you find anything contact me at once," Optimus barked out his orders.
"Yes Sir!" The scouting party said as they spread out with their assignments.
Stingray opens her optics moving her head from side to side seeing if there was a way of getting herself free but it looked like there wasn't away out curing to herself, come on Sneaks I know you can get help, please hurry back don't know how much more myself and Elita can take.Closing her optics she rested until the next round.
Sneaks and Ravage slam into the vent grate knocking the grate away from the wall as they slid out. Ravage slides away from Sneaks shaking his head clearing his thoughts.
Sneaks slid into a table leg as he is knocked out. Ravage limps over to Sneaks picking him up in his mouth then he limps back into the hallway, as he needed to find Megatron.
Blitzwing returns to the brigs refreshed walking over Stingray who looked like she was off line, testing the chain to see how tight they were they were tight but not tight enough he tightens the chains more.
Stingray's optics shot open as the chains tighten on her wrists and ankles, letting out a low grunt.
It was midmorning the scouting party was still on the lookout for Stingray and Elita-1.
Striker's hand slammed into his other hand, "slag I can't find it! Where are you Sis?"
Ranger saw that Striker was really upset and angry cautiously walking over to him, "Striker we will find Stingray count on it."
Striker looked over to Ranger, "I hope so Ranger," Striker let out a deep sigh.
"Find anything?" Ranger asked.
":No I haven't and I've looked every inch of this place and there is no evidence of a struggle anywhere or tire tracks anywhere."
Ranger transformed as he takes tot he sky getting an overall view of the town.
Ravage rounded a corners he saw Megatron, setting Sneaks down he wasn't going to let Megatron pass him,
Megatron sees Ravage and another surprise, kneeling down in front of Ravage, "Excellent work Ravage. I see you have caught Stingray's pet escaping. Well I have plans with this little fella," Megatron petted Ravage, and then he picks up Sneaks and heads to Soundwave's quarters.
Ravage bowed to Megatron and then he headed back to where he had been hiding before he caught Sneaks.
Sneaks slowly comes around seeing that he had been captured he quickly encrypted what he had recorded and then he quickly erases what data he had collected and then he played possum.
Hound finished up his search walking over to Prowl, "can't find any evidence here Prowl," Hound said sadly.
"Slag I can't find anything either. I know Optimus has to be worried sick, about the gals. I know Striker and Ratchet must be worried about Stingray," Prowl said with concern.
"Come on Prowl, we still have that 10 mile expansion to comb over. Maybe there will be evidence out there you never know," Hound said, transforming to his vehicle mode.
Prowl nodded as he did the same, and then they headed out of town.
Optimus and Wheeljack were having the same luck of coming up with nothing. the looks in Optimus's optics could tell he regretted letting the gals go on the patrol.
Wheeljack sensing the tension in Optimus, walking over to his leader gently putting a hand on his shoulder; "Optimus are you okay?" Wheeljack asked.
"I feel guilty I sent Elita and Stingray out on this patrol. Should had someone escort them," Optimus said lowering his head in discuss.
"Don't feel guilty Optimus; you did what you felt needed to be done. For tis patrol Elita and Stingray were the best choices they are smaller and they wouldn't be detected so easily. Beside I know the girls, they know how to handle themselves. Trust in them Optimus they are great warriors just as we are," Wheeljack's optics brighten as he talked to Optimus.
Optimus looked at Wheeljack, "thanks Wheeljack," Optimus transforms, along with Wheeljack as they headed out of town.
Ranger did one more sweep of the town double checking and making sure he didn't miss anything before he reported back to Optimus. It was on the South side of town Ranger spotted something in the road, swooping down taking a closer look. Ranger saw there was as mall crack in the road. Transforming and landing not far from the location, walking over he kneels down taking a very close look, sure enough it looked like someone or something tried to cover up something. From what Ranger could tell it wasn't anything the humans used to fill holes in the road. It had to be the work of the Decepticons, he opens his comm. Link C> this is Ranger do you copy Optimus?
C> This is Optimus, what do you have Ranger?
C> Found something on the South side of town I feel you need to look at.
C> Be there in a few seconds Ranger, and good work Ranger, Optimus out. Optimus and Wheeljack turn around and head to the South side of town.
Blitzwing's optics brighten up in delight, ash heard Stingray's low grunt. Picks up the wave blade as he places it on Stingray's right shoulder, "where is the rocket fuel and the stash of energon?" Blitzwing asked for the fourth time.

Chapter 5
Megatron approaches Soundwave's quarters, the door slides open Soundwave stepped out, "what is your command?" Soundwave asked.
"Soundwave see what you can get out of this rodent, " Megatron hands Sneaks to Soundwave.
"As you command Megatron," Soundwave took Sneaks walked back into to his quarters.
Megatron walks back to his quarters sees that Elita was either off line or resting walking over to her picks up a blade.
Elita quickly opens her optics, looking to see Megatron had returned, "great round 2 or was it round 3," Elita muttered.
Megatron cackled evilly setting the blade on Elita's chest, "let's see how loyal you are to your friend Elita. Tell me where the stash of energon and the rocket fuel?" Megatron asked.
With in a few seconds, Optimus arrives at Ranger's location, "what do you have Ranger?" Optimus asked.
Ranger kneeled down; showing where the crack in the road stood up and leads Optimus to where there was a good size hold filled in by something other than what humans would use.
Optimus kneels down carefully looking at the filling and muttered out one word, "Mixmaster."
Wheeljack and Ranger look at each other and then back at Optimus, "are you sure?" They asked.
Optimus looks at them, "I'm sure of it, search this area for signs of a battle in the building ext. I know there was a struggle here. Wheeljack and Optimus moved out to the left started searching. Ranger fanned out to the right searching.
A few cycles later Soundwave contacted Megatron via Comm. Link C> Megatron task is complete.
Megatron's comm. Link comes to life hearing Soundwave's voice, Taking the blade off Elita's chest sets the blade down and then walks to another room in his quarters. C> What did you find out Soundwave?
C> no information was sored in the rodent Megatron. Soundwave spoke.
C> figures that Stingray would put a device in the rodent when it was captured it would erase all data. Good work Soundwave keep the rodent locked up for now until I get the information I need and I will use the rodent as a messenger. Alter the rodent's voice command temporally for me to command him. Megatron out.
C> as you command Megatron, Soundwave flips off his comm. Link, quickly alters Sneaks voice command for one use for Megatron sets Sneaks into a small cage. Calls Ravage to report to his quarters.
Ravage enters Soundwave's quarters via venting system, looking at Soundwave.
"Ravage guard the rodent, if the rodent tries to escape take him down no harm to the rodent," Soundwave instructed.
Ravage bowed to his master then took his post watching Sneaks.
Stingray turned her head to the side she was silent.
Blitzwing was starting to get really annoyed with the silent treatment. Taking the knife and plunging it into Stingray's chest area, as he slowly cuts the armor up to her right shoulder.
Stingray screams out as she gasps for air.
By now Sneaks was fully alert looking out the cage seeing Ravage he backs up to the other end of the cage hissing wildly at Ravage.
Ravage looked at Sneaks he hissed and growled back at Sneaks.
Sneaks lays down still hissing at Ravage but in a low tone as he watches Ravage and Ravage was silent after that.
Blitzwing grins evilly stops cutting Stingray's armor the blades was now near her side. He pushes the blade into her side, "where is the energon stash and rocket fuel?" He asked.
Stingray grunts in pain gain in between gasping she spoke, "I'll never tell you!" Stingray spats at Blitzwing.
"We will see," Blitzwing moves towards the head of the rack he pulled the chains a little tighter pulling Stingray's limbs more.
Ranger found a piece of metal on the road picking it up carefully looking at it, he wasn't sure at firs who the piece of armor that it belonged to. Standing up he walked over towards the factory building, he also saw a fire blast in the building. Ranger turns around walks towards where he found the piece of armor, he was two indents on each side of the crack in the road, he had an idea of it was.
C> Optimus this is Ranger found more evidence of the struggle, Ranger said into his comm. Link.
C> Good work Ranger, be right over, Optimus out.
Megatron enters his quarters walks over to Elita taking off the shackles.
Elita immediately pushes Megatron away from her, as she tried to escape.
Megatron was quicker as he tackles her to the floor taking the knife and plunges into her left side then knocks her out with his fist. Picking her up flinging her over his shoulder and heads tot he brig.
Optimus walks over to where Ranger was, "what did you find Ranger?"
"I found this Optimus," Ranger kneels down then he shows the two indents on each side of the crack in the road.
"It was either Rumble or Frenzy was here along with a couple other Decepticons.. It was one of the girls who shot them," Ranger said.
"Good work," Optimus studies the surrounds area pondering which direction they headed. Their base was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Most likely they would have returned to base. That's where they will be going next after one more sweep of the town. "Take one more sweep of town," Optimus said to those who were with Optimus.
Optimus contacts the others instructed them to do one more sweep of their area and then report back to the South side of town.
Stingray closed her optics gritting her teeth as they chains tighten and starting to pull on her limbs.
Megatron walks into the brig setting Elita-1 down putting the shackles back on her. Looking over to Blitzwing, "get the acid ready," Megatron said, knowing in a few minutes that she would be coming around.
Blitzwing gets the acid ready for Megatron and himself.
Megatron motions Blitzwing to inject the acid into Stingray.
Blitzwing injects a small amount of acid into Stingray's right side.
Stingray yelled out as the acid hits her systems as it started to work on her.
Elita's optics hot open when she heard Stingray's scream. Looking over to Stingray, she couldn't believe what they had done to her. Cursing under her breath she struggled to free herself but with the chest injury it was making that impossible for her to free herself.
Megatron looks over to Elita, "it will do you no good struggling to get free. Now tell me where the rocket fuel is and the energon stash is? Your friend over there will not be harmed anymore," Megatron said coldly, he opens his Comm. Link C> Soundwave bring the rodent to the brig.
Soundwave responded, C> as you command Megatron Soundwave out.
Soundwave takes the cage that Sneaks was in and headed to the brig, entering the brig with the cage hands the cage to Megatron.
Megatron takes the cage and opens the door quickly grabs Sneaks, he speaks to Sneaks, "record everything that goes on in this room."
Sneaks hissed wildly at Megatron, but he obeyed his order.
Megatron cackled evilly as he chained Sneaks up as well, knowing that the rodent would try to escape.
Sneaks hissed and chattered angrily as he started to record everything in the room.
Elita looks at Stingray she is in bad shape she also knew that Stingray wouldn't want her to tell Megatron where the locations fro the rocket fuel and energon stash is.
Stingray looks back to Elita giving her a look that said if you tell them, I'm going to kick your metal arse.
Elita looks back to Stingray, giving her a sad and compassionate look saying, I'm sorry this the way it has to be done I want to see you alive.
Stingray closed her optics, Dang it Elita you are just like Optimus. for once would you just be a warrior and not such a softy.She opens her optics again looking angry at Elita.
Elita saw the look on Stingray's face; she knew what had to be done. She didn't like it but she did anyways, Elita remained silent.
Megatron motions Blitzwing to tighten the chains on the rack again.
Blitzwing tugged hard on the chains.
Stingray tries her best not to scream letting out a low painful cry a tear slid down her face, as the chains pulled out her limbs more.
Elita watches biting back not telling Megatron.
Megatron's optics brighten with delight it would be a matter of time before he would get the information. Just to add more assault he picks up a small hook and sets the hook on Elita's left chest area where he had plunged the knife before, "One more time where is the rocket fuel and energon stash?"
Elita continued to be silent and she wasn't going to give in.
Megatron slowly rips the armor away from Elita's upper left chest. As he motioned Blitzwing to inject more acid into Stingray and motioned to bring the acid over to him when he was finished with Stingray.
Sneaks shook himself with discuss of what he was recording.
Hound and Prowl finally finished up their last sweep of the area making sure they didn't miss anything. "Well I can't find anything Prowl," Hound said.
"Yeah that makes two of us, let's head back to Optimus's position," Prowl said transforming and heading back to Optimus's position. Hound also does the same.
Striker finished up his last sweep of the area, looking up to the sky he didn't like shedding tears it wasn't like him at all but Stingray met more to him than anything every could she and him are the soul survivors of their home world of Trition. If anything happened to her he wasn't sure if he could go on without her. That's how close they are and a bond that can't be broken, he cared too much for her he transformed and heads to Optimus's position.
Hound and Prowl arrive transforming to bot mode, "we didn't find anything more that would lead to the struggle Optimus," Prowl said, lowering his head.
Striker was the last to report in, transforming to his bot mode, looking at Optimus with a lot of concern, "Sir I also didn't find any more evidence for a struggle," Striker said with concern.

Chapter 6
"We will find them men, we did all we could here in the town, I want each of you do a grid search for a 15 mile radius look for any sign of a struggle, or laser blasts. Report to me when you are finished, " Optimus said to the group.
Elita bites back staying silent despite the pain that was ripping through her body.
Blitzwing picks up the acid injector, stepping over to Stingray, jabbed the injector into her right upper chest as he injected a large amount of acid into Stingray. And then refills it, walks over to Megatron handing it to Megatron.
Stingray closed her optics, letting out another low scream.
Elita heard Stingray's scream, she shuttered and she cringed as the acid takes it course biting back, but she finally lets out a low grunt.
Megatron gave Blitzwing the go to tighten the chains until they pull out one of Stingray's limbs completely out. Looking back to Elita moving to one side of her placing his hand on her head making Elita watch Stingray being pulled apart.
"Yes Sir!" Everyone transformed and moved out of town do the grid search for Elita-1 and Stingray.
Blitzwing pulled the chains until he couldn't pull them any more snickering evilly his optics were filled with pure delight.
Elita tried to break the hold from Megatron she didn't want to see Stingray be pulled apart.
Megatron kept a strong hold on Elita's head, "no use my pretty tell me where the rocket fuel and energon stash is, and this needless torture will stop," Megatron snickered.
Stingray screamed on top of her vocal processor, her scream could be heard halfway through the base or for those who were near the brig. As her right arm was completely pulled out from her shoulder, Stingray passes out from the pain.
Sneaks cringes and shakes himself from hearing Stingray blood curling scream as he kept recording and he was hissing lowly.
"I will never tell, slagging scrap heap!" Elita snorted coldly at Megatron.
Megatron is angered beyond angered he let's go of Elita's head he injected the remaining acid into Elita picks up the blade he rips Elita's chest plate open. Megatron then grabs Sneaks so he can send a personal message to Optimus Prime. Sneaks claws at Megatron and manages to escape from his grasp. "Capture the rodent now! I don't care who captures the rodent," Megatron bared angrily.
Elita screams out in pain as she passes out, Megatron turns back to Blitzwing, "finish up with Stingray. We'll just have to use the girls as a bargaining chips to get the information from Optimus Prime," Megatron cackles as h e leaves the brig and heads to his quarters
Blitzwing finishes ripping Stingray's chest plate off and then he steps out for a drink at the mess hall.
Sneaks quickly heads for the vents he needed to escape and fast with this information and he had to get out now.
Stingray's spark chamber was showing slightly.
Ravage heard something in the vents and quickly went after what was in the vents he was on Sneaks within seconds as he tackles him to the floor slashes his claws at Sneaks neck.
Sneaks chatters wildly taking a fairly deep slash to the back of his neck, flattens himself on the floor quickly rolls away from Ravage stands up, fries off a laser shot form his laser optic at Ravage.
Ravage stepped to the side letting the shot whiz by him. He leaps at Sneaks.
Sometime later Elita comes around; it takes a few minutes to gather her thoughts. She looks around, seeing Stingray was still out cold. She struggles to free her hands.
A few minutes later Stingray finally comes around moaning in pain she looks around seeing Elita, it looked like Elita went through the ringer with Megatron. Trying to speak to Elita her voice was really weak and it was barely above a whisper. Closing her optics again there was a tear that trickled down her face, if anyone was near her they would have heard her say Ratchet help.
Elita watched Stingray she barely picked up what Stingray said, "hold on Stingray don't you leave yet I now you still have some fight left, fight for Ratchet and Striker's," she said to Stingray.
Sneaks tried to jump out of Ravage's way, takes the flying tackle from Ravage once again they slide into the wall Sneaks is knocked out once again. Ravage picks up Sneaks and takes him to Megatron.
Megatron was nearly done with his little message to Optimus Prime, when security alerted him that Ravage was outside with Sneaks. "Ah Ravage good job come in my feline."
The door opened and Ravage came in walked over to Megatron and sets Sneaks on the table he bows to Megatron and the leaves.
Megatron sets Sneaks in a small gage as he quickly speaks his message into the recorder and then transfers all the images of what was recorded in the brig including Stingray's arm being pulled out of her body and from the security tape where Blitzwing ripped Stingray's chest plate off. And where he had torn a piece of Elita's chest plate off. Playing it back satisfied with the message he quickly puts together a holograph chips or Sneaks to take to Prime.
Once Megatron was finished he opens the door to the cage and reaches into to grab Sneaks.
Sneaks came around when he saw Megatron reach into the cage he snapped at Megatron's hand and then chatters angrily at him and backs away from the hand.
Megatron stopped for a moment and then he grabbed Sneaks by the back of his neck.
Sneaks tired to chomp down on Megatron's hand but he couldn't because of the way he was being held, "my we have a feisty little rodent," Megatron cackled.
Megatron sets Sneaks down on the desk with a firm grip so he couldn't escape.
Sneaks was chattering angrily at Megatron trying to wriggle himself free.
Megatron quickly disables Sneaks and he quickly inserts the holograph into Sneaks, as he chip downloads the images of Stingray and Elita-1 just in case Sneaks had already tried to erase the images of what was recorded in the brig plus the message, it only took about 30 seconds to finish what he had to do and actives Sneaks again, speaking to the rodent, "take the message to Optimus Prime and Optimus Prime only," Megatron instructed the rodent.
Sneaks didn't like this all he hissed at Megatron and then he jumps off the desk and bolted to the venting system, obeying Megatron, winding his way through until he found the hanger.
Striker finally transforms and then he finally heads back the others.
Megatron called Blitzwing's quarters.
Blitzwing entered Megatron's quarters a few minutes later, "yes Megatron what is your command?" He asked.
"Prepare the girls for transport when I give the order. Guard them do no more to them leave as they are just make they are still alive. "I'm going to take great pleasure when Optimus sees his precious love destroyed in front of him," Megatron said, as he motioned Blitzwing to leave his quarters.
Blitzwing turned around as he walked out. Megatron turned around and looked out the window, soon, Optimus I will have you right where I want you. he chuckles waiting to move out in a few cycles.
Sneaks finally found his way through the venting system as he found the hanger. Bolting outside skidding to a halt he turned around as h e tried to override Megatron's instructions but he couldn't he did manage to record the location of the Decepticon's land base also he does a grid scans downloads the information. His rocket boosters flip out he kicks it into the highest burn. It would take most of his energy but he had to get to Optimus in a big hurry if he was going to help Stingray and Elita-1. He bolts off like lighting as he sends off a special emergency signal out to Striker hoping that Striker wasn't out of range.
Back at the Autobot headquarters Ratchet was pacing the floor as he was getting really worried it had been nearly two days since Stingray and Elita-1 had been reported missing in action and nearly a full day since Striker, Ranger and the scouting party left to search for the girls. Ratchet had a gut wrenching feeling that something was very wrong with the girls there was one thought that passed through Ratchet's mind he couldn't even bear the thought of what could happen to Stingray his body shivers at the thought as his fuel runs cold. Come on guys don't keep me waiting on pins and needles what's going on? I need to know.
Sneaks continued to bold towards the town where Stingray and Elita-1 were captured. After he reached the town he would take a very short rest before he raced back to the Ark. He just hoped he could find Optimus or Striker in time before it was too late; he would never forgive himself if something happened to Stingray or Elita-1 Stingray met so much to him he would be lost without her. He continues to send the signal out he had 80% energy left in is system.

Chapter 7
Ratchet moves to the OR chamber prepares the first one and then the second one just in case.
Striker arrived back to the others he transforms. Suddenly his long range sensors picked up a signal he knew this signal, opening his interface with Sneaks, C> Sneaks where are you, where are Stingray and Elita-1? Striker asked.
Sneaks didn't chatter he sends the location of where he was passing by.
Striker received the last location of Sneaks, he does a grid scan, picking Sneaks up on his scanners, and he was about 50 miles from town. From what the information told Striker, Sneaks traveled over 250 miles. It looked like the little fella was about out energy, just as he would reach the North side of town.
Looking to Optimus, "I just picked up Sneaks on my long-range sensors and scanner. He is alone that means Stingray and Elita-1 are held up somewhere or even worst." Striker let's his voice trail off for a moment calming himself, "Sneaks has traveled over 250 miles. We will have to meet him at the North side of town."
Putting a hand on Striker's shoulder, "Sneaks is an excellent Autobot spy he has proven himself time and time again he also has helped out a lot of us when we have in jams. Once again he has come through and is a good warrior as well. Move out men and head to the North side of town be on the alert for the Decepticons," Optimus said transforming and moving out.
The scouting party transforms and races to the North side of town and to meet Sneaks there.
Sneaks finally reaches town about 45 minutes later skidding to a halt he quickly finds a place to hide to stay out of sight just in case the Decepticons followed him, as he waits to make contact with Striker or Optimus. His energy levels were down to 10% he really felt exhausted.
Elita opens her optics looks around sees that Blitzwing had dosed off wondering what was going on and why it was quiet, not that she wanted to be tortured anymore something was up and she didn't like it one bit. Closing her optics again, letting her internal repair system finish what it could repair.
Stingray comes around she moaned quietly in pain, slowly opens her optics, looks at Elita wanting to say something seeing that Blitzwing was there, closing her optics again letting the internal repair system work on the vital systems in her body.
Strikers was the first to reach the North side of town; Optimus and the others were right behind Striker.
Transforming, looking around he didn't see Sneaks anywhere, figuring that he was hiding and was leery of coming out of hiding, "Sneaks, it's Striker, Optimus is here also it's okay to come out from hiding," Striker said.
Sneaks heard Striker's voice he slowly comes out of his hiding spot he was chattering like a wild cat, as he approached Striker.
Striker kneels down next to Sneaks taking caution from the chattering from Sneaks it sounded like he was angry and yet it sounded like he wanted to tell him something or Optimus something. He carefully put his hand on Sneaks head seeing that Sneaks was injured a little and from the energy readings the little fella was just about of energy. Taking as small amount of energon from his reserve he set it down in front of Sneaks.
Sneaks quickly drinks up the energon, looking up to Striker giving him a look that he wanted more to drink.
Striker gave Sneaks more energon this should bring his energy levels back up to normal.
Once again Sneaks quickly finishes off the offered energon. Looking up to Striker he chattered to Striker saying, thank-you. Turning to Optimus he walked over to him. Looking up to the towering mech, Sneaks squeaks, squeals and jumps once, saying to Optimus I have a message for you from Megatron.
Optimus kneels down to Sneaks; and then looks over to Striker. He still couldn't get use to Sneaks code of squealing, squeaking, chattering and jumping, "what is Sneaks saying Striker?" Optimus asked.
Striker nearly choked, but he wasn't surprised. Looking at Optimus, "Sneaks says he has a personal message from Megatron and it's just for you. Sneaks will relay the message to you but he has to transform to his disk mode to do t that," Striker said.
"Alright, let's head back to base, stay on the alert," Optimus said, transforming and heads back to the Ark.
The others transform as they head back to the Ark as well staying alert for the Decepticons.
It was nearly nightfall when the Autobot scouting party returned to base.
Striker opened his door to let Sneaks out.
Sneaks jumps out of Striker.
Optimus and the others transformed; Prowl, Hound, Ranger and Wheeljack head into the Ark.
Back at the Decepticon land base, Megatron turned around in his chair facing his desk. Opening his comm. Link C> Blitzwing it is time to move the girls to the hanger bay, Megatron out.
Blitzwing hears the order come over the Comm. Link; standing up he walks over to Elita taking the shackles off for a moment and then puts them back behind her back are cuffed. Picking her up like a sack of potatoes, he walks to the hanger bay to load the girls in Astrotrain, walking back to the brig to bring Stingray to the hanger bay. Megatron once again opened his Comm. Link. C> Soundwave meet me in the hanger bay in 30 minutes.
C> As you command Megatron, was heard from Soundwave.
Megatron contacts two others to go with him and they were Thundercracker and Starscream.
Sneaks walks over to Optimus as he jumps up in the air and transforms to his disk mode.
Optimus quickly catches Sneaks, looking over to Striker, "Don't worry Striker we will get them back count on it. Sneaks probably has the location of where the girls are. I'll let you know as soon as possible."
Striker nods as he headed to his quarters he didn't want to talk to anyone at the moment.
About 10 minutes later Blitzwing enters the brig walks over to Stingray who was coming around again.
Optimus walks back to his office taking a seat he slides Sneaks into the computer. What Optimus was about to see and hear would make any mech's fluid run cold as ice?
Stingray opens her optics it took a few second before they focused, once they were focused she saw Elita wasn't in the brig she tried to move, but she screamed out in pain. Looking at Blitzwing angrily trying to speak but her voice was nearly gone, "where...is...Elita?" Stingray managed to spit out her question.
"You will find out soon enough," Blitzwing stopped in front of her. Pure evil could be seen in his optics.
Stingray shuttered in discuss of the look in Blitzwing's optics.
Elita comes around finding herself in a new location and it was in the hanger bay if she could free her hands she could get help for Stingray. She struggled for a few minutes to free her hands, but she was weak form the lack of being fully recharged with the injuries she has and the loss of energon too. Sneaks you are our only hope now.Elita closed her optics again a tear trickled down her face as she thought about Optimus fro a moment.
Ranger walked back to Medbay looking really bummed out.
Ratchet looked up from what he was doing, seeing the bummed out look on his brother face wasn't good as he spark sunk a little, walking over to his brother, "hey there Ranger any luck?" Ratchet asked Ranger.
Ranger looked at Ratchet, "fund out there was struggle as to where they took them no one knows. How ever Sneaks escaped from where he was. Striker says that Sneaks has a personal message from Megatron. That's all I know Ratchet," Ranger lowered his head.
Ratchet putting his hand on his brother's shoulder, "it's okay Sneaks is very cunning if he has any other information besides the message for Optimus we will find out soon enough I hope..." Ratchet said, as a chill rand down his back.
Blitzwing moves back to the back of Stingray he puts his knee in the middle of Stingray's back pushing really hard, hearing Stingray's armor crack from the tension.
Stingray barely lets out a scream of pain as she passes out.
Blitzwing loosens the chains as he carries Stingray to the hanger bay.
Astrotrain arrives shortly after Megatron told him to meet Megatron in the hanger.
Blitzwing walks in with Stingray, "open the back Astrotrain so I can load the cargo."
Astrotrain opens the back.
Blitzwing loads the girls he took a seat across from them with his weapon aimed at them.
Back at Autobot headquarters, the computer flickers to life in Optimus's office. An image of Megatron appears, "we meet again my old friend and foe. I have something of great value to you and your chief medical office," images of Eita-1 and Stingray appeared on the screen. First image was Elita with Megatron ripping a piece of her chest plate off. Second was an image of Stingray, as her right arm was being pulled out from her shoulder and the rest of the images that were recorded including the last image of Blitzwing ripping Stingray's chest plate off exposing wires and such.
Optimus's hand balled into a fist as he slammed it on the desk leaving a good size dent lowering his head it total discuss he shouldn't have let them go alone, Elita, Stingray please forgive me for sending you on this patrol, I had no idea this would happen.A few seconds later Megatron's image appears again, "if you value the ladies which you do, I suggest that you meet me at sunrise at sector 10-N-25, you and you only. The image of Megatron disappears. Sitting back in is chair thinking of a plan before he headed out.
Megatron, Soundwave, Thundercracker and Starscream arrive in the hanger bay. Starscream looks Megatron, "where are we going with the girls? I thought you were going to dispose of them?" Starscream asked.
Megatron clobbers Starscream in the head, "you fool why would I do that now when I can dispose of them in front of Optimus. Head for sector 10-N-25 all of you find a spot and stay out of sight understood?" Megatron asked.
"Yes Sir!" was heard from the ones who were going. Megatron and Soundwave boarded Astrotrain as he took off and headed to the location said by Megatron.
A few minutes later the screen flickers to life an image of the Decepticon land base appears on the screen and a grid map showing where the base was located. Optimus looks at the information that Sneaks gave him. his optics couldn't believe what he was seeing. Sneaks downloaded the information to Telatran-1.

Chapter 8
It was a few hours later Megatron and his war party arrived at sector 10-N-25 the location was 50 miles from the Canadian border. Astrotrain opens the back. Soundwave walks out taking a spot behind a boulder. Megatron picks up Elita-1 and flings her over his shoulder walks out sets Elita down and finds a spot behind another boulder, Blitzwing carries Stingray out he takes cover near Megatron he knew when Optimus showed that he would have to hold Stingray. Although she couldn't move without being in pain. Thundercracker and Starscream were I their hiding spots.
A few minutes later Sneaks finished downloading the data, for a location of the Decepticon land base that would be doubt with later. Right now the only thing mattered to Optimus was getting the girls back in one piece. Optimus knew Megatron would have a few extra men with him, as he wouldn't be alone either, "Telatran-1 have Striker, Wheeljack, ranger, First Aid and Ratchet met me in the war room ASAP!"
"Acknowledge Optimus," Telatran-1 contacts the party.
Optimus takes Sneaks out of the computer.
Sneaks transforms back to his bot mode looking up to Optimus he chattered sorrowfully lowering his head.
Optimus looked down to the spy and pet of Stingray he petted Sneaks, "don't worry little one we will get her back," Optimus said holding his hand out for Sneaks.
Sneaks jumps on Optimus's hand, he carefully climbed up to his shoulder.
Optimus chuckles a little amazed on how Sneaks could ride on someone's shoulder without falling off. He walks out of his office and heads to the war room.
Striker, Wheeljack, Ranger, First Aid and Ratchet were waiting for Optimus.
A few minutes later Optimus walks in the war room, everyone stood up at attention, "At ease men."
Everyone took a seat.
Optimus clears his vocal processor, "men I have some bad news, Elita-1 and Stingray have been captured by the Decepticons. Sneaks managed to escape with a message from Megatron. Telatran-1 play the message from Megatron."
Telatran-1 plays the message as the screen flickers on showing images of the girls and what shape they were in.
Striker slammed his fist on the table, "I should have gone with the girls!"
Ratchet couldn't believe that Stingray could have survived such a brutal beating. Anger was raging inside of Ratchet, Blitzwing if I ever get my hands on you, you are going to pay for what you have done Stingray.
Optimus let's everyone vent for a moment before he continued, So help me, Megatron you will get a fist full of slag for what you have done to the girls.Optimus looked at the rescue party, "listen up men three are only a few hours before sunrise let's roll out time is of an essence," Optimus walked out of the Ark he contacted Skyfire had him meet the rescue party outside.
The others quickly move out as well, Ratchet and First Aid stop by Medbay to pick up a few medical supplies. and then head out of the Ark as they boarded Skyfire.
Skyfire takes off for the location, which would take about 45 minutes to an hours to reach.
About 100 miles from the location, "Skyfire touch down here, I'll go on foot from here," Optimus said.
Skyfire touches down everyone files out.
"Gentlemen I know you are concerned, I have to go alone. I will signal for you guys when the time is right to move in. I know Megatron will have a few extra men with him. Stand by on my signal to move in," Optimus transforms and speeds off tot he location.
Although Optimus didn't notice that he had a hitch hiker. Sneaks was sitting on Optimus's right side passenger side fender cloaked.
Striker looked up to the predawn sky worried, Sis hold on just a little longer help is on the way.
Ratchet walked over to Striker, "Don't worry Striker we will get her back."
Striker turns around; give Ratchet a slight smile.
Megatron motions to Blitzwing to be ready.
Blitzwing is ready when Megatron gives the order, he motions back to Megatron.
Megatron moved out from his spot with Elita moving over to a tree sets Elita down on the ground he stands behind the tree that Elita was leaning up against.
Blitzwing did the same; then he waited for Megatron's next move.
It was nearly sunrise; Elita comes around seeing that she was outside shaking her head. She looks around and then she sees Stingray, "Stingray can you hear me?" It's Elita.
Stingray's optics shot open hearing Elita's voice, it took a few seconds for her optics to focus, and turning her head she saw Elita, "Elita...where...are...we?" She asked with a confused voice.
"Not sure where we are Stingray, it looks like we are in the middle of a forest. How are you holding up?" Elita asked.
"Stingray had to choke down the lump in her throat, "not good Elita my systems have been badly damaged every time I move I hurt. Hope Sneaks made it back to get help."
"You and I both Stingray," Elita said quietly.
Optimus approached the location scanning the area picking up two Autobot signatures plus 5 more which were the Decepticons. Transforming to bot mode he walks towards the Autobot signatures.
Megatron picks up the soul Autobot on his scanners he stays where he was until Optimus appears.
Elita suddenly picks up foot steps in the distance she knew those foot steps, he was on h is way she tried to free her hands from the cuffs, After a few minutes her hands were free. Something wasn't right about this she waited to see what would happen next.
Stingray finally picks up on the foot steps although they sounded familiar she just prayed it was help.
Sneaks quietly followed Optimus he was still cloaked he picked up Stingray's energy signature it was weak. He started recording he had a feeling this was gong to get slightly messy in a few minutes.
A few minutes later Optimus reaches the sector.
Elita heard the foot steps, looking she barely saw Optimus from the distance. Wanting to yell out but she stayed silent and waited.
Looking and scanning the area Optimus picks up Elita's signature he also picks up Stingray's signature who was weaker than Elita's. He quickly walks through the dense forest after a few minutes he comes to a clearing sees the girls, they were in worst shape than he thought especially Stingray cursing under his breath he slowly walks towards them.
Sneaks was right behind Optimus he sends a transmission back to Striker of what condition the girls were in.
Optimus was about 25 yards from the girls he took a few more steps.
"Not another move forward Optimus, back away slowly. Unless you want to witness their deaths," Megatron and Blitzwing moved from where they were picking up the girls with their weapons pointed at their backs.
Sneaks stops the first transmission then he opens his channel for his interface with Striker this would allow Striker to see and hear everything.
Striker's interface flashes to life; Striker jumps a little as he opens the channel. Upon seeing the condition of Stingray and Elita-1 were in Striker nearly fell over.
Ratchet quickly steadies Striker he looks at the small screen his spark sunk like a rocket, Oh...Primus...Stingray...Please stay with me.
First Aid walked over to see what was going on he saw what was on the screen he couldn't believe the damage the girls took and were still functioning.
Optimus slowly backs away slightly lowering his weapon
Elita struggles to free herself from Megatron's hold.
Megatron tightens his grip on Elita as he shoves his cannon into her back.
Stingray screams out in pain as Blitzwing grabbed her left arm as she felt the weapon in her back, "Ratchet...please..." her voice trails off.
"Let them go you have me," Optimus said.
"Tell me where the rocket fuel and the energon stash is, and your precious girls will unharmed," Megatron laughs evilly to himself.
Optimus's one hand balls into a fist his optics narrow in anger and then he lets out a sigh, he thinks for a moment before he speaks.
Striker and the others watch what was going on between Optimus and Megatron.
"Rocket fuel is located at sector 4-P-6, energon is located at sector 20-Z-8," Optimus said sadly.
"Excellent Optimus," Megatron lets go of Elita and then backs away a few feet.
But this time Stingray was alert as best as she could for the time being considering the condition she was in.
Blitzwing also lets Stingray go as he backs away a few feet.
Stingray tried her best to stand on her own at first going down to her knees wanting to scream out she was silent. Like a wounded animal she slowly rose to her feet.
Elita was stunned as she saw Stingray stand on her own in the condition she was in, looking over to her.
Stingray looked back over to Elita taking a step forward, Elita does the same.
Optimus couldn't believe what he just saw from Stingray, he remained where he was. Both girls take several more steps towards Optimus.
Megatron and Blitzwing raised their weapons as they fired off one shot aimed at the girls.
Elita! Stingray!...No!" Optimus rushes over to their sides.
"Open fire men show no mercy!" Megatron ordered.

Chapter 9
Striker, Ratchet and the others held their breath for a moment, Skyfire transformed to jet mode waited for the others to board and wait for Optimus to give the order to join the battle.
Thundercracker, Starscream and Blitzwing open fire on Optimus.
Optimus hits the ground and the fired shots miss him he gets back up opening his Comm. Link giving the order to his men to join the battle.
Ratchet, Striker and the others quickly board Skyfire as he lifted off and flew to the sector.
Elita and Stingray come around, Elita got up to her hands and knees, looking over at Stingray and she was in really bad shape she had to get Stingray to cover fast, but she wasn't in the best of shape either.
Stingray finally got up to her hands and knees gritting her teeth.
Elita moved over to Stingray helping Stingray stand up, "Stingray lean on my shoulder I'll help to cover."
Stingray reached for Elita's shoulder.
"Not today ladies, you've gone through enough," Optimus said, and very gently picking them up as he moved them to cover behind some boulder and gently setting them down.
Stingray passes out, Elita looked at Optimus, she didn't have to say anything she knew Optimus had some metal ass kicking to do but she gave him a look saying be careful.
Optimus's optics soften and then headed back for Megatron with his weapon blazing.
Skyfire reached the sector touching down everyone jumped out.
Striker, Wheeljack and Ranger headed straight for the battle, while Ratchet and First Aid headed for the girls.
"Soundwave take Astrotrain and head to the rocket fuel location, I'll meet you there as soon as I deal with Optimus Prime," Megatron barked out his order.
Soundwave quickly heads for Astrotrain who was ready to get out once Soundwave got in and he heads off to the rocket fuel location.
Megatron fires his fusion cannon at Optimus, "Die Autobot!"
"Not today Megatron! Have places to go than die!" Optimus jumps up in the air and flips over the blast from Megatron as he throws his mighty fist at Megatron.
Striker headed for Blitzwing pulling out his Gallatin Machine gun fires away at Blitzwing.
Wheeljack fires off his shoulder mounted rockets at Thundercracker.
Thundercracker fires his arm cannon off at Wheeljack as he takes off for the sky.
Ranger transforms and flies off to battle Thundercracker, "Wheeljack help Ratchet and First Aid, I'll take care of Thundercracker, Skyfire take Starscream."
Skyfire took off to battle Starscream, "roger that Ranger."
Megatron merely moves to the side just as Optimus was close enough to him, throwing his fist at Optimus's midsection.
Ratchet rushes over to Stingray and Elita-1 he checks Elita-1 first.
"Ratchet take care of Stingray first she needs more medical attention than I do," Elita said, slightly whizzing.
"Elita you are so much like Optimus Prime putting yourself last to be looked at. Not both of you ladies are important besides First Aid knows what he is doing, let's look at your wounds," Ratchet quickly does a scan on Elita a few minutes later the scan was finished. He saw that the injuries weren't to bad but bad enough and she needed energon, taking out an energon pack he starts an energon IV drip then he tends to Elita's wounds.
Optimus crouches down and then sweeping his right leg and sweeps Megatron off his feet.
Megatron falls back to the ground he quickly stands up and road house kicks Optimus in the chest.
Optimus staggers back slightly winded; he rushes towards as he crash tackles Megatron to the ground and then throws his fist into Megatron's jaw.
Thundercracker fires his weapon at Ranger, Ranger barrel rolled as he flips over and fires at Thundercracker.
Starscream teaks off for the sky and flies towards the others on the ground.
Blitzwing transforms to his tank mode as he charges towards Striker firing his torrent at Striker.
Striker quickly transforms to his vehicle mode as he dodged the blast kicking up dust storm as h e races forward at Blitzwing at the last moment he swerves to the left of Blitzwing he speeds up behind Blitzwing and then transforms to his bot mode fires off his shoulder cannon at Blitzwing, "take that you rotting piece of Slag! This one is for Sis!"
Wheeljack reaches the others he goes over to Ratchet putting his hand on Ratchet's shoulder, "I'll finish up here got to Stingray, she needs you Ratchet," Wheeljack said to his comrade.
Ratchet gives Wheeljack a compassionate look and then he quickly tells Wheeljack Elita's condition as he rushes over to Stingray's side.
The fired shot from Striker hits Blitzwing right between the tracks in is tank mode and flips Blitzwing over, Striker charges Blitzwing.
Thundercracker banks to the right, the shot from Ranger grazes his wing, Thundercracker flips around and heads right at Ranger.
First Aid did his best to help Stingray with her vitals dropping steadily, "come on Stingray stay with me I know you can fight, fight with all you have for Ratchet's sake and Striker's sake too," First Aid grabs an energon stabilizer and attaches it to Stingray.
Starscream swoops down as he fired at First Aid, the fired shot hits near where First Aid was sending him flying, Starscream touches down grabs Stingray and took off again.
"Stingray Noo!" Ratchet pulled out his blaster fires it off at Starscream and then he rushes over to First Aid.
Ranger pours on the speed as well, "so you want to play chicken?"
Striker saw something from the corner of his optic, he stops to look up and sees that Starscream has Stingray, "No Sis!"
Blitzwing quickly gets back up to his feet and fires a shot at Striker.
Stingray comes around only to find herself in the arms of Starscream, despite the pain and how much she was drained of energon she struggles some, "let me go you creep!" Stingray managed to spit out.
Starscream looked at Stingray, "not a chance babe!" he flies off with Stingray.
Megatron snarls taking the punches from Optimus, as he manages to flip Optimus off, quickly rolls over as he stands up wiping the mech fluid from his mouth, "not bad Optimus," Megatron fires another round at Optimus.
Ranger and Thundercracker head for a head on collision with each other. Just as they were to collide Ranger banks hard to the right taking his left wing and sending Thundercracker spinning out of control.
Thundercracker spins out of control, trying to regain control, by the time he could regain control he slams into the ground and goes into Stasis lock.
The fired shot from Striker nails Blitzwing in the midsection, going down to his knees he falls to the ground out cold.
Striker transforms as he gives chase to Starscream.
Skyfire finally caught up with Striker who was chasing Starscream, also seeing that Starscream had Stingray, not much he could do without hurting Stingray even more all he could do was be there and catch Stingray if Starscream decided to let go of her.
Optimus barely dodged the last shot from Megatron the shot destroyed the boulder behind him, a piece of the boulder imbedded itself in Optimus's left shoulder Optimus winches as he fired off a well aimed shot at Megatron.
Ranger flips around seeing that Starscream had Stingray, Oh no you don't you creep! You're not taking her away from my brother! Not without a fight!Ranger speeds off towards Starscream.
Ratchet kneeled down next to First Aid who was knocked out shaking him gently, "First Aid are you okay?" Ratchet asked Frist Aid.
First Aid comes around sits up quickly holding his head for a moment, "Stingray where is she?"
"Take it easy First Aid, Starscream fired at you and took Stingray hostage again, the others are after Starscream," Ratchet said with a concerned voice.
"I think I'm okay Ratchet just need to shake the cobwebs out of my neuro net, I hope the others get Stingray back, she is in really bad shape her vitals weren't good they were slowly slipping."
Ratchet's spark sunk once again, "Oh no if what you say is true, Stingray may not make it Slag! Have to find a way of getting Stingray back," Ratchet flipped his Comm. Link open C> Striker come in please.
C> This is Striker Ratchet what's wrong?
C> What is your location? Ratchet asked.
C> I'm in hot pursuit of Starscream he has sis; I know she is in really bad shape. I think the only way of getting her back is with a well-aimed shot at Starscream making him let go of Stingray, Striker said.
C> Yeah that will work, but that would be way too risky of shot if the missed Starscream and hit Stingray? Ratchet asked.
C? It's a chance that we have to take Ratchet, I don't like this anymore than you do unless you have a better idea, Striker said.
Ratchet thought for a few moments.
Wheeljack heard the conversation walking over to Ratchet and First Aid, "have to agree with Striker it might be the only chance of getting Stingray back," Wheeljack said sadly
"Who is a good shot that would take a lot steady nerves to make a marked shot like that?" Ratchet asked.
The fired shot from Optimus nails Megatron's side he had enough for now, calling for a retreat heads off towards the rocket fuel sight, "another day Optimus."
Starscream heard the retreat order given also feeling the pressure from three Autobot's he fired at Ranger and Skyfire and he wasn't going to let go of Stingray by any chance.

Chapter 10
Blitzwing comes around as he moved over to where Thundercracker was transforming painfully he takes him back to base for repairs.
Optimus over heard the conversation on his comm. C> I'll take care of that Ranger stand by on my mark to catch Stingray, Skyfire be ready also you may be needed also. Optimus said into his comm. Link
C> Optimus with all due respect let me have the honor, I'm in hot pursuit of Starscream as I speak, Stingray has been teaching me some of her shooting skills. I know I can do it for her sake and fore everyone else's sake too. If I miss at leas you won't feel guilty any more than you are or to blame yourself. Striker said, transforming to his bot mode.
The shots from Starscream hit Skyfire in the wing taking him out of the fight temporally the other shot barely misses Ranger as he rolled tot he left before the shot hits him.
C> Striker if you feel that you can do it, go for it and I respect you're decision. Optimus said into his Comm. Link.
C> I know I can do it, have Ranger and Skyfire stand by for me. Striker said into his Comm. Link.
Ranger heard the conversation on his Comm. Link. C> All ready Striker just say the word and I'll be there! Ranger said into his Comm. Link.
C> I will be ready also Striker, Skyfire out.
C> Thanks Ranger and Skyfire, Striker out.
Sneaks was with Striker he opened his channel to Ratchet for his interface, as he looked up to the sky waiting for Striker to free Stingray.
Optimus reaches the others and walks over to Elita who was resting okay, kneeling down next to her he puts his on her hand.
The others see Optimus they walk over to him and Elita.
"Elita will be fine Optimus a few repairs and a good long stay in the CR Chamber she will be good as new," Ratchet said.
"Thank-you," Optimus said to Ratchet.
Striker pulled out his rifle, it wasn't a sharp shooters rifle, and it had the same range as hers. Raising the rifle as h e leveled it off he got Starscream in the cross hairs of the rifle, very slowly breaths out, slowly squeezing the trigger until he fired off the well-aimed shot at Starscream's right shoulder.
Ratchet, First Aid, Optimus and Wheeljack watch from Ratchet's interface.
The fired shot from Striker nailed Starscream in the right shoulder, Starscream yelled out in pain as he drops Stingray.
C> Now Ranger! Striker yelled into his Comm. Link.
Ranger poured on the speed and he dove towards Stingray.
Ratchet took a deep breath as he prayed.
C> Skyfire back Ranger up now! Optimus barked into his Comm. Link.
Skyfire took off after Ranger he hoped that he could reach them in time, he also poured the speed on.
Astrotrain and Soundwave reach the location where the rocket fuel was to be but as they landed in the clearing in the middle of no where. Something wasn't right, Soundwave does a grid scan he didn't detect any rocket fuel. He does one more scan of the area up to a 5 mile radius finds nothing cursing to himself.
A few minutes later Megatron arrives at the location, "Soundwave something's not right, where is the rocket fuel? He asked and demanded.
"We have been had Sir!" Soundwave said. Megatron furiously and growling, "the fool Optimus wouldn't be stupid enough to say where the rocket fuel was and the energon stash," Megatron boarded Astrotrain Soundwave does the same, Astrotrain heads back to the Decepticon base.
Ranger surpassed his maximum speed; he finally catches up with Stingray he passes her he only had a few moments to transform and catch her and only being 2 miles up in the sky. At the last possible moment Ranger transforms and catches Stingray, both of them plumment towards the ground, Ranger uses his rocket boosters to slow the fall, but the rocket boosters weren't slowing the fall as they continued to fall to the ground.
Skyfire quickly catches up to Ranger at the last possible moment he poured the last bit of speed before hitting the max speed and dives under Ranger and Stingray and they land on him with a huge thud and off set him for a moment. Getting his balance back Skyfire manages to glide in for a rough landing.
Ranger quickly rolls off Skyfire, "thanks Skyfire though for a moment I was a goner," Ranger said as he carefully takes Stingray off Skyfire and sets her down on the ground.
"No sweat Ranger," Skyfire said as he transformed to his bot mode and moved off to let the others work on Stingray.
Ratchet's spark nearly stopped beating as Ranger caught Stingray only to see that his rocket boosters didn't work and Skyfire managed to catch them both in mid air. He bolts off towards Stingray's side with First Aid close behind.
Reaching Stingray, he quickly scans her vitals, and her vitals were really weak and she was barely hanging on.
First Aid skids to a halt next to Ratchet a few seconds later, "Ratchet take these," First Aid said, handing two energon packs to Ratchet.
He took the energon packs attaches them to Stingray he also starts an energon IV drip on Stingray. About 10 minutes later Stingray's vitals were nearly stable enough so she could be moved and transported, Stingray 's left hand moved a little, Ratchet sighs with some relief, "Skyfire going to need your speed to get back to the ARK ASAP! I can only keep Stingray's vitals stable for short time her injures are very serious," Ratchet said with a lot of concern.
Skyfire transformed back to his jet mode First Aid and Ratchet load Stingray into Skyfire.
Wheeljack did one more scan on Elita's vitals, her vitals had been stable for a short time, and she should be coming around. He was about to pick Elita up and take her over to Ratchet and First Aid.
"I'll take her over Wheeljack; help Ratchet and First Aid, I would like a few minutes alone with Elita," Optimus said kneeling down next to her.
Wheeljack nodded and walked over to Ratchet and First Aid, leaving Optimus alone with Elita for a few minutes, "need a hand with Stingray Ratchet?" Wheeljack asked as he boarded Skyfire.
"Sure, Wheeljack, how is Elita?" He asked.
"She is doing okay her vitals are stable," Wheeljack said taking a seat near Stingray.
Striker quickly boards Skyfire also.
Ratchet watched Stingray's vitals closely as he worked on patching a few injuries
Elita comes around her optics slowly open, "Stingray?" she tries to sit up.
"Ratchet and First Aid are doing their best helping Stingray, Take it easy Elita save your energy you are going to need it," Optimus spoke very softly to her.
Elita wanted to say something, decided to closing her optics again. Optimus very gently picks up Elita and walks over to Skyfire as he boards Skyfire he gently sets Elita down next to Striker, "Skyfire get out here back to base ASAP!"
Skyfire take off and quickly flies back to base.
About 20 minutes into their ride back to the ARK, Stingray tries to come around, finds her life force slipping away, scared she tried to open her optics, they didn't respond her body goes limp.
"Nooo... Stingray!" Skyfire keep it stead Stingray is slipping away," Ratchet said as he cursed under his breath. Skyfire kept it steady as he could.
Wheeljack stepped over to Ratchet, "Ratchet she is going to need an electrical shock to bring her spark back, her spark has given away. Vorndi help Ratchet give Stingray a shock."
Vorndi jumps onto Ratchet's shoulder as he omits an electrical charge through Ratchet's body.
Ratchet could feel the tingling in his body form the energy, "Wheeljack open Stingray's chest plate."
Wheeljack quickly opens Stingray's chest plate, pulling out two wires form her spark chamber when Wheeljack opens Ratchet's chest plate attaches the wires to Ratchet's spark chamber with the help of Vorndi.
Ratchet taking his right hand and placing it in the middle of Stingray's chest and the other hand on her midsection, "Clear!" Ratchet sends the electrical surge from his park and from Vorndi, to Stingray; Stingray's body jerks really hard but her body doesn't respond to the electrical shock and her body goes limp again.
"Come on Sting, please don't leave me," Ratchet once again places his hand in the middle of her chest and the other hand on her midsection.
Vorndi quickly omits another charge to Ratchet a few seconds later Ratchet calls out "Clear!"
Once again Stingray's body jerks really hard, Stingray sits straight up gasping for air holding her chest, "Ratchet," was all she could say as tears slipped down her face, she starts to fall back wards.
Everyone else looks on for the most part holding their breath, Striker closed his optics he couldn't bear to see his sister like this , Blitzwing was going pay the pit when he had a change to kick his metal arse into the next galaxy.
Ratchet nearly passes out he quickly shakes it off as he grabbed Stingray and holds her for a few minutes.
Wheeljack looked towards the front of Skyfire, "Skyfire burn your afterburners Stingray is back but not sure how long what's the ETA?" Wheeljack asked.
"About 25 minutes from the ARK Wheeljack, hold on everyone we are about to sonic!"
Striker still had his optics closed as he prayed like no tomorrow, Sneaks chattered sadly, "I know little fella she will make it she has to." Striker said to Sneaks.
25 minutes later Skyfire touched down at the ARK everyone quickly gets out and rushes to Medbay.
Ratchet hooks Stingray up and hen he goes to work on Stingray.
"Grove help Ratchet watch Stingray's vitals please I would be I have to help First Aid with Elita," Wheeljack said.
Grove went over to where Ratchet was as he watched Stingray's vitals very closely and carefully.
Wheeljack slid Elita-1 on a med table, First Aid transforms he helps Wheeljack lift Elita-1 on another OR table as he started working on Elita's injuries, Wheeljack also hooks Elita up Elita as he watched her vitals and he also helped work on her injures as well and he would help Ratchet with Stingray's vitals as well.
After a few intense hours First Aid and Wheeljack finished repairing Eltia-1 her vitals were holding steady and they had improved a great deal. Wheeljack stood and stretched out the kinks out of his neck. First Aid also stood up from here he had been slumped over repairing Elita-1 after a hours he nearly falls over from exhaustion.
Wheeljack quickly steadies First Aid, "Take a break I'll put Elita-1 in the CR chamber you really need some rest," Wheeljack said with concern.
First Aid looked at Wheeljack, "I wish I could Ratchet needs my help with Stingray she was damaged really badly," First Aid said.

Chapter 11
"I can help Ratchet First Aid, you need some rest please," Wheeljack said
First Aid puts a hand on Wheeljack's shoulder, "I will have to help Ratchet," First Aid said to Wheeljack, as he walked over to Ratchet.
Wheeljack watches First Aid as the lad heads over to Ratchet, he mutters quietly, "First Aid you are like Ratchet in so many ways, you won't quit until the last mech is repaired. Both of you have a lot of dedication for your work."
Optimus picked up what Wheeljack said, walking over to him, "both of them have more determination than most medics Wheeljack. That's what makes them who they are and they are valuable to our team. How is Elita doing?" Optimus asked.
"Elita will be okay Optimus she just needs sometime in the CR Chamber, I'll let get you when she is awake." Wheeljack said, as he noticed that Optimus's left shoulder was injured, 'let me look at your shoulder Optimus.
"Attend to Elita first," Optimus said.
Wheeljack rolled the OR table over to a CR chamber he slides Elita in and closes the lid. He would check on the chamber in a little while, walking back over to Optimus he looked at the wound.
It had been touch and go with Stingray; Ratchet work quickly and with percussion on Stingray still working on he spark chamber.
Stingray tried her best to stay with Ratchet and First Aid. Her spark skips a beat once twice and then it stopped.
"Slag! Come on...Sting...fight!" Ratchet opened the IV drip to full as he watched the monitor.
Stingray's spark comes back is it starts to beat again.
Ratchet closed his optics for a moment feeling really exhausted. Opens his optics again and then continues to work on Stingray's spark chamber.
First Aid continued to work on Stingray's other injuries. He watched Stingray's vitals, her vitals were fluctuating a lot they didn't seem to be stable. It looked like she wasn't getting enough energon to her vital systems she was losing energon. Upon looking carefully a few minutes, First Aid found the source of why Stingray was losing her energy. Her main fuel line had a major break in two different area looking up to Ratchet for a moment, "Ratchet we've got another major problem."
Ratchet stopped for a moment, looked at First Aid, "What?" he asked with concern.
"Stingray's major fuel line had been damaged in two different areas. Think this is why her vitals are fluctuating like they are and she can't get enough energon to her vital systems. I'm going to need your help," First Aid said with concern.
Ratchet's spark couldn't take the stress he was feeling at the moment; he quickly pushed that to the side he had to be strong for her and to save her also, "start working on the fuel line First Aid, I'm nearly finished repairing Stingray's spark chamber."
First Aid nodded as he started working on the fuel line.
Stingray could feel her energy slip away she had to fight to stay with Ratchet. She tried to move her left hand, after a few seconds she manages to move her left hand-letting Ratchet know she was still with him.
Ratchet caught something moving from the corner of his optics, he looked quickly to see that Stingray had moved her hand. He let out a sigh as he continued to repair her.
Frist Aid also saw Stingray move her arm he was relieved too. He steps away from Stingray as he quickly reaches for a new fuel line, then steps back.
Ratchet stood up as he finished repairing Stingray's spark chamber, "alright let's move before Stingray gives," Ratchet said as he helped First Aid with the fuel line.
Wheeljack finished up repairing Optimus's left shoulder, "there that should do it Optimus, take it easy with the shoulder for a couple of days," Wheeljack winked to his leader.
Optimus flexed his shoulder, looking at Wheeljack, "Thank-you," but there was a concern look in his optics.
Wheeljack noticed the look in Optimus's optics, "don't worry Elita will be fine," Wheeljack walked over to the CR chamber that Elita was in checking her vitals. Elita's vitals were holding steady and they were getting stronger it wouldn't be much longer before she came around. "Of course you are more than welcome to stay here when she wakes up she will be happy to see you Sir," Wheeljack's optics were a soft blue.
Optimus stood there for a moment thinking and then he spoke, "thanks Wheeljack, I think I'm going to stay here until she comes around."
Wheeljack nodded as he led Optimus over to where Elita was in a private room just off the main section of Medbay. Optimus followed Wheeljack to the room h e takes a seat next to the CR chambers waiting for Elita to come around.
Wheeljack walked out of the room, he walked over to where Striker was who had dozed off from waiting to hear about his sister. Kneels down next to him and he checks to see if Striker was okay and it looked like a few tears had fallen from his optics.
Sneaks looked up Wheeljack he chattered quietly careful not to wake Striker.
Wheeljack petted Sneaks, and then he stood up it was best not to bother Striker. Ratchet and First Aid were still working on her. He shuddered at the image of Stingray's arm being pulled out. He walked over to Ratchet and First Aid, without saying a word he motioned Grove to leave and the took over and h e watched Stingray's vitals.
About 8 hours later of intense repair work on Stingray, both Ratchet and First Aid finished up repairing Stingray. Both of them backed away shaking their heads from exhaustion.
"Ratchet, First Aid you two need some rest, Have a little energon and get some rest both of you need it. I will watch Stingray," Wheeljack said to them.
First Aid didn't say anything he walked over to a corner poured himself a drink of energon down it and slide down to the floor as he went off line for a while.
"I'm good Wheeljack," Ratchet said letting out a yawn, he just wanted to stay with Stingray.
"Ratchet at least rest for a little bit you didn't what you could for her. I'm sure she would want you to get some rest," Wheeljack said softly.
Ratchet didn't want to leave but he really needed to rest, "okay I'll get some rest, it's up to Stingray I know I did what I could for her to help her," Ratchet walked over to his offices takes a drink and he lies down on his recharge table and goes off line.
Striker had fallen into a deep sleep, when images of Stingray flashed through his mind; he stirs a little and then blurts out her name as he fell over on is side, Striker's optics quickly shoots up to a sitting position.
Optimus heard the rucks outside of the room he stepped out for a moment seeing Striker, he walks over to him, "you okay Striker?" Optimus asked.
Striker shook his head while he rubbed the side of his head. And then he looked up to Optimus, "yeah I guess I'm okay," Striker said, he had to wipe a tear from his optic.
Optimus kneels down next to Striker putting his hand on Striker's shoulder. "You did a great job of freeing you're sister. Stingray has taught you well with her shooting skills."
Striker's optics brighten, as there was a little smile on his face.
Wheeljack took the opportunity he walked over to Elita's chamber. Her final repairs were finished he slides the lid back as he gently takes Elita out and sets her on a recharge table. It wouldn't be much longer before she would wake up; Wheeljack walked out and then he walked over to Striker.
"Thank-you Optimus she is a great teacher, you and Elita have done with her, she has turned out to a great warrior. Thanks for helping her. How is sis doing?" Striker asked.
"Ratchet did all he could for her. It's up to Stingray now; she was banged up really badly Striker," Wheeljack said stopping in front of Striker.
"That's somewhat of a relief, can I see her Wheeljack?" Striker asked.
"Sure you can see her, only for a moment," Wheeljack said.
Striker stood up he walked over to where Stingray was.
Wheeljack looked at Optimus, "Elita should be coming around soon and she is going to be just fine," Wheeljack's optics soften.
Optimus stood up, "thanks Wheeljack,." Optimus said as he walked back to the OR chamber.
Striker stood next to the CR chamber, a tear rolled down his face, putting a hand on the chamber as he mumbled quietly, "come on Sis...I know you can pull through, you just got to, please stay with me. I've thought I lost you once and I'm not going to lose you again, fight sis fight."
Images of Megatron flash through Elita's mind. Images of him trying to kiss her and do other things to her, she stirred a little the images are vivid in her mind. Elita's body jumps as she yelled out, "get off me you slagging monster!" Elita's optics shot open as she nearly sat up straight, she starts to fall towards the edge of the table, and she kind of mutters out, "Optimus."
Optimus rushes in as he blocked her from falling off the table. Putting his arms around her, "take it easy there, I'm here for you love, everything will be okay," Optimus said with a very soft tone of voice.
Elita puts her arms around Optimus she closes her optics as a few tears trickle down her face, she opens them again looking up to him, smiling without saying a word.
Optimus held Elita for a while thankful she was okay.
Striker stepped back from Stingray's chamber he walked back over to where he was sitting before he sat down leaning his head against the wall he felt exhausted, he slipped off into recharge.
Sneaks decided to walk over to where Stingray was he jumps on top of the chamber careful not to touch anything he curls up into a ball as he watches Stingray.
Wheeljack saw Sneaks on top of the CR chamber he was going to take him down, but decided not to. He checked Stingray's vitals they were improving greatly her repair time for her armor was going to be slow.
A few hours later, Ratchet woke up he quickly walked over to Stingray, "any changes Wheeljack?" He asked.

Chapter 12
"Look at the charts you will be happy with the work you have done for her," Wheeljack said cheerfully.
Ratchet looked at the chart. There was a huge sigh of relief, "good looks like she will be awake in a few hours or tomorrow and it shouldn't be long before she will be back on her feet," Ratchet walked over to Striker kneeling down next to him he gently shook Striker to wake him.
Elita had drifted off, Optimus gently sets her down he quietly whispers to her, "rest you need it, I'll be back in a little while," he walked out and walked over to Ratchet and Wheeljack, "Elita is resting, I'm heading back to my quarters for a while, I'll be back to see her later," Optimus turned around and walked out of Medbay.
Striker's optics shot open as he jumped a little, looking up at Ratchet, "is Sis okay?" he asked.
"For the moment she is holding her own, it's up to her if she is going to pull through, I know her all to well, she will come through for us," Ratchet said with a smile.
"Can I stay with her until she wakes up?" Striker asked.
"You can Striker, though it might be a few hours form now or it will be sometime tomorrow before she will wake up or it might be a little longer hard telling. But you are more than welcome to visit with her for a few minutes at a time that would be the best thing," Ratchet said with a smile.
"Okay Ratchet you know what's best, besides I think I'm going to head back to my quarters for a much needed rest," Striker stood up he smiled slightly, "once again thanks Ratchet for all you have done for Sis," Striker walked out of Medbay.
Ratchet walked over to Stingray, he go the measurements for her right arm. There wasn't anything more he could do at the moment, just wait and see if Stingray was going to pull through he walked over to a work table is was farm from Stingray as he worked on a new arm for her.
Optimus sat down at h is desk raising his hands to his face, for the very first time in a long time he felt kind of lonely. He didn't realize how much Elita has meant to him. Although he never showed his affection towards her, Elita knew what he was feelings were for her. Maybe it was time for him to show a little more affection towards her. Letting her know exactly how much she means to him. Lowering his hands from his face, he looked at the information Sneaks had gathered. As he was forming a surprise attack on the Megatron's land base.
Elita stirs in her sleep a little; suddenly she wakes up, sitting up looking around a little confused. She didn't see Optimus there, remembering he was there a little while ago and then she remembered him whispering that he would be back to see her. Letting out a sigh she wised he could hold her again. She felt warm and safe in his arms. She gently shook her head gathering her thoughts.
Wheeljack noticed Elita was awake and it seemed like she was a little jumpy and nervous. He slowly walked over to her he stopped about 20 feet in front of her, he didn't want her any more nervous or jumpy than she was, "hi Elita, how are you feeling?" he asked in a low and soft voice.
Back at the Decepticon land base Megatron was looking out the window of his quarters, going over the last battle in his mind. Growling as his fist slammed into the arm of his chair. There had to be away to defeat Optimus and the Autobot's, how long have they been fighting each other? He has lost count.
Elita jumps slightly when she heard a voice pulling her thoughts to the present, she noticed Wheeljack as there. Lowering her head a little embarrassed, "uh...umm...sorry Wheeljack didn't man to be so jumpy, I'm okay I guess still feeling weak though," she said quietly.
A knock on Megatron's door brought him out of his thoughts back to the present; turning around facing the door, "enter," Megatron said growling angrily.
"You should be feeling better in a day, after you're body fully recharges. You took quiet a bit of damage, I don't blame you for being nervous and jumpy Elita after what you went through," Wheeljack said softly.
Elita nods her head in agreement, she didn't want to bother Wheeljack but she had to ask a couple of questions, "how is Stingray?" she was going to ask about Optimus decided not to.
Soundwave enters Megatron's quarters he had some interesting information for Megatron.
Wheeljack's optics dim a little, "Ratchet and First Aid did all they could for Stingray. It's up to Stingray now, if she is going to pull through her spark chamber was damaged pretty badly along with her armor and body," Wheeljack said softly.
"What information do you have Soundwave?" Megatron asked.
Soundwave handed the data pad to Megatron, "Megatron we should continue with the operation at the abandon town before the capture of the female Autobot's there is more energon to be drained before it goes dry.
Elita lowered her head for a moment a few tears trickled down her face. Wiping the tears away form her face, she had to be strong for Stingray looking at Wheeljack, "thank-you Wheeljack," she said quietly.
Megatron quickly looked the information over, a plan was forming, "by all means continue with that operation in that town, I'll send a few others to finish up the job. I want you to with me to this location, this will be a perfect place to set up trap for Optimus," Megatron said evilly as he sets the data pad down on his desk.
Elita felt light headed and was feeling tired leaning forwards setting her head on her knees.
Soundwave nods as he steps out of Megatron's quarters.
Wheeljack noticed Elita was tired again, "Elita are you okay?" He asked softly.
Elita looked up for a moment, "feeling light headed and tired," lying back down, she slipped off line again.
"Get some rest Elita the more you get the better you will feel," Wheeljack said to her, and then he stepped out of the room. Walked over to Ratchet who was working on something; "Ratchet got a minute?" he asked.
Ratchet stopped what he was doing turning around looking at Wheeljack, "something wrong?" he asked.
"No nothing is wrong Ratchet, Elita is doing okay but she seems to be really jumpy and nervous. It seems like she only want to be with Optimus," Wheeljack sighed a little.
"I don't even want to know what happened to Stingray when she comes around. It seems like she took more torture than Elita did but Elita's damage was bad enough," Ratchet said with concern.
"Yeah I guess you're right about that I would probably be the same way. Could you watch Elita for me? I need to step out for a moment," Wheeljack said walking towards the door of Medbay.
Megatron calls Dirge, Thrust and Octane to his quarters.
Ratchet noticed Wheeljack was a little edgy, but then again he was too he was worried about Stingray. He turned around putting the finishing touches on Stingray's new arm. Walking over to the CR Chamber checking on Stingray's vitals they were getting stronger, he also noticed that her armor was nearly repaired. A little while longer he could take her out of the CR chamber. He sees Sneaks curled up on top of the chamber watching over Stingray, he chuckles petting Sneaks, "have to say you are very loyal to her Sneaks."
Sneaks looks up at Ratchet as he chatters saying you got that right Ratchet, and I will always be loyal to Stingray.
A few minutes later, Dirge, Thrust and Octane arrive at Megatron's quarters as they entered.
Ratchet chuckles again, as he picks up Sneaks and sets him on his left shoulder, "come on Sneaks let's check on Elita see how she is doing," Sneaks squeaks once agreeing.
Wheeljack walks down the hallway clearing his mind.
Megatron looks up form the information before he spoke, "I want you three to finish up at sector 5-D-34, Thrust you are in charge, don't fail me!" Megatron barked his orders to the trio.
Optimus looks from the information, standing up for a moment he walked out of his quarters and headed back to Medbay.
"Yes Sir!" The trio said, as they left. Megatron cackles evilly.
Ratchet walked over to the room Elita was in, he stepped in quietly , it seemed like she was resting very comfortable he turns around as he stepped out.
Elita quickly opens her optics she looked to see that Ratchet had checked on her, closing her optics again she fell into a light sleep.
Dirge, Thrust and Octane head for the town to finish up the job for Megatron.
Ratchet checked on Stingray. Carefully taking her out of the CR chamber her armor was fully repaired setting her down on the recharge table he attaches Stingray's new arm. Stingray's vitals were getting stronger and stronger it wouldn't be much longer before she would wake up.
Megatron walks out of his quarters he summons Thundercracker, Blitzwing and Soundwave to meet him in the hanger bay.
Wheeljack rounded the corner walking down the hallway that Optimus was and nearly walked into Optimus, Wheeljack looked up just in time and stops in his tracks/
Optimus noticed Wheeljack wasn't himself it looked like he was worried about something, "Wheeljack something wrong?" He asked.
Wheeljack looked at Optimus, "no nothing is wrong just tired and worn out need to clear my mind. Elita is doing fine although I noticed she is a little jumpy and nervous," Wheeljack said.
Megatron walks into the hanger bay looking at the others.
"What is your command?" Soundwave asked.
"Don't worry Wheeljack from what I can gather and see from Elita, I think there was more to if just being tortured and being slice up Wheeljack. If I can I'll see if she wants to talk about it and find out what really happened to her and Stingray. I have a feeling she has withdrawn from others wanting no one close to her expect for me it might take a little while for her to come around and before she is willing to let anyone get close to her," Optimus said with some concern.
Wheeljack looked at Optimus as he nods in agreement he didn't say anymore but was relieved some. "Sounds good Optimus," Wheeljack turned around as he walked back to Medbay. Optimus follows Wheeljack.
Dirge, Thrust and Octane reach the outer part of town found the hiding place of the operation that was started. they quickly set up and set to work finishing up draining what resources were left.

Chapter 13
Megatron opened his comm. Link having the Constructicons meet him in the hanger bay.
Striker woke up from a peaceful rest he heads back to Medbay .
Bonecrusher, Longhaul Mixmaster, Scrapper and Hook walk into the hanger bay, "what is our mission?" Hook asked.
Megatron looks at the two groups now assembled in the hanger bay, "men we are going on an energon steeling spree. And set up the Autobots and Optimus Prime with a trap. Constructicons head to sector 8-S-4 Megatron cackled.
"Yes Sir!" the Constructicons said in unison as they headed out on their mission.
Astrotrain waited quietly, then walk he walked over to Megatron transforms to his shuttle mode opens the back for the others to board.
Optimus and Wheeljack walk into Medbay, Wheeljack walked over to his lab, while Optimus walked over to Ratchet, "how is Stingray doing?" He asked.
Ratchet looked up from what the chart he was looking over see Optimus, setting the chart down, "Stingray is in stable condition she will pull through without any trouble. It shouldn't be too much longer before she will wake up," Ratchet said with a smile.
"You, First Aid and Wheeljack really work miracles, good work Ratchet, Stingray will appreciate you bringing her back and being a close friend," Optimus optics were a soft blue, and then he headed to where Elita was.
Ratchet waked Optimus walk into Elita's temp room, "thank-you for the complement," He checks Stingray's vitals again.
Dirge and Thrust finish up draining the last of the energy sources into Octane, "that should do it Thrust," Dirge said.
"Good, let's get back to base don't want to get busted by the Autobots, " Thrust said, transforming to his vehicle mode, Dirge does the same as they head back to the land base.
Optimus walked into the room where Elita was he sits on the edge of the recharge table leaning over her as he whispers, "Elita I'm here when you wake up," he gently sets his hand on her hand.
Striker walked into Medbay as he walked over to Ratchet, He looked to see that Stingray was fully repaired she looked like a whole new bot. Looking over to Ratchet, "Ratchet you did an amazing repair job on Sis she loos great!" Striker said with a smile.
Ratchet looked back to Striker smiling, "thanks Striker, it means a lot, she should be waking up soon can't really say when, you can visit her for a minute if you like," he said grinning.
Dirge, Thrust and Octane returned to the land base as they unload the energon cubes as they store them in a special area of the base that was designed for the cubes, once that was finished they headed to the mess hall for a drink.
Striker stepped over to where Stingray was he sits on the edge of the table putting his hand on her hand for a moment, "hey Sis I have a feeling that you can hear me, just wanted to say I'm glad you are safe from those monsters and I have to say thanks for those shooting lessons they really came in handy. Can't stay too long Doctor's orders I'll be back when you are awake," Striker whispered to Stingray.
Several hours later the Constructicons arrive at sector 8-S-4, Hook scanned the area it was a small mining town about 150 miles from the Canadian wilderness they quickly set up operations 2 miles out of town and they went to work.
Elita felt Optimus's hand on her hand, she slowly opens her optics it took several minutes before she slowly sat up turning her head seeing Optimus was there an image of Megatron flashed through her mind a shiver travels down her back she had to close her optics trying to get that image out of her mind. She starts to shake feeling scared for the first time in a very long time.
Astrotrain headed to the sector Megatron was the first one out he looks and scans the area, snickering evilly, this was the perfect place for the trap. Looking over tot he others, "get started and drain all the resources. Soundwave with me to set a trap," Megatron barked his orders.
Optimus gently wraps his arms around her, "would you like to talk about what happened?"
Elita really didn't want to talk about what happened all she really wanted was to be held by him, she gently wrapped her arms around him. Letting out a sigh she told Optimus what Megatron tried to do and what he di to her and Stingray at the end, after she said what she had to say she busted out in tears.
Optimus kept his composure as Elita lets her emotions out. He was angered beyond anger it was going to take all of his noble will power not to rip Megaton to pieces for what he did to Elita and Stingray.
A few hours later after their arrival at the mining town, the Constructicons were halfway done draining the resources, "only a few more hours and we have drained all the resources," Scrapper reported to Hook.
"Good have Mixmaster and yourself set to demolish the town leave nothing," Hooks said.. "Yes Sir!" Scrapper and Mixmaster said as they set off to rig the town to be destroyed.
Images of Blitzwing savagely mulling Stingray were very vivid Stingray's body jumps and jerks moving her head from side to side tears were rolling down her face, Stingray yells out, "Argh...get...away...from...me...you slagging monster! Gah! You are the most discussing thing I've ever seen!" Stingray's optics shot open sitting straight up holding her chest gasping for air she leans over to the side of the table and falls to the floor with a loud crash and she was shaking really badly again she yelled out in between gasping for air, "Rat...chet, Stri...ker!"
Ratchet dropped what he was doing and rushed over to Stingray's side kneeling down next to her gently wrapping his arms around her, "it's okay Stingray you're safe take it easy breath slowly, I'm right here for you."
Striker rushes over to his Sister's side seeing that she was scared to death, "Sis it's Striker, it is okay you're safe Ratchet and I won't let anyone hurt you again, I'm here for you also."
Stingray pushed Ratchet away from her she crawled away from Ratchet and Striker," stay away from me you slagging scrap piles!" she held her chest gasping for air her chest hurt like the pit.
Ratchet moved slowly towards Stingray and stops a few feet from her careful not to scare her anymore than what she was. He looked over to Striker giving him a look that said stay where you are. Looking back to Stingray, "Sting please clam down the more you move you will hurt please Sting it is okay no one will hurt you," Ratchet said quietly to Stingray.
Striker stayed where he was, he was going to slag a few metal asses when he got the chance and Blitzwing was first on the list for what he did to his Sister.
Both Optimus and Elita heard Stingray Elita's head shot up as she heard Stingray's voice looking from the room there was a shiver that goes down her back again. She held Optimus close to her for a moment she looked on from where she was. Optimus also looked on, his fuel was boiling there was the inferno to pay back.
Stingray shook her head really hard to shake off the confusion, once she got her focus back she looked around seeing that she was on the floor, also seeing that Ratchet was only a few feet away from her, Closing her optics gain for a moment she slowly calmed herself down it took several minutes, Stingray slowly moved back to Ratchet she wrapped her arms around holding him close to her, closing her optics once more a few tears fell from her face. That shaking stops and she buries her head into Ratchet's chest, "keep that slagging scrap pile away from me. That monster did things that would make your fuel run cold," Stingray said as she gasped for air, shaking off the image of Blitzwing out of her mind, "Ratchet what happened why is my chest hurting so much?" Stingray asked quietly.
Ratchet did his best to keep his composure as well, holding her close him, "Stingray you were damaged really badly especially your spark chamber, thought I was going to lose you a couple of time. Your chest will hurt another day before internal repairs are finished and you need a full recharge you were really low on energon."
"Thank-you Ratchet for being here for me, and for freeing me, " she said quietly.
"No Stingray you should thank your brother for getting you back and out of the grasps of Starscream. He shot Starscream really good and he didn't hit you."
The others quickly set out as they begin draining the energy resources. Megatron and Soundwave walk into a huge abandoned factory. Megatron finds a nice little spot as he places shackles on the wall.
Soundwave found a couple of 50-gallon drums of gasoline, oil and hazardous waste, as he covers nearly a city block with the stuff around the area where Megatron had set up to torture Optimus.
Stingray looked up and over to her brother who was sitting on the floor on her other side and Sneaks jumps on Stingray's left shoulder chatters happily that she was okay, "looks like those shooting lessons paid off bro, thanks," Stingray said quietly as she winked at him.
"You know I will do anything to keep you to stay with me and Ratchet that's my job," Striker smiled.
Stingray slowly let's go of Ratchet as she gave her brother a hug, "thank-you for being the best brother I could ever have," she whispers to her brother. Then she wrapped her arms around Ratchet again for a few more moments closing her optics as she drifted off to sleep.
Sneaks jumps off Stingray's shoulder and onto the table. Ratchet gently sets Stingray down, "let her rest she needs it to recharge," he said moving away from Stingray but kept his optics on her. Sneaks curled up next to Stingray's head helping Ratchet watch Stingray.
Elita had drifted off again; he gently picks her up and brings her out in the main part of the Medbay he gently sets her down next to Stingray. Leaning down next to her, "see you in a little while," Optimus said.
Ratchet saw Optimus bring Elita out and sees where she was placed, walking over to Optimus, "both of the ladies will be fine. Elita will be happy to know Stingray okay and Stingray will be happy to see her as well."
Optimus nodded, "I'll be in my quarters, I will be back in a while Ratchet," Optimus said as he walked out of Medbay.
Megatron cackles evilly, walking over to Soundwave.
Soundwave just finished up what he was doing, "trap is set Megatron," Soundwave said.
Megatron's optics narrow in delight, not to bait the trap," Megatron laughed.
Soundwave moved out to find the bait for the trap and he knew where to find it.
Ironhide had just sent out a probe from Telatran-1 as he waited for the probe to send back information with any activity from the Decepticons. About 15 minutes later the probe sent back images of Decepticons being active in two different sectors, "Slag the Decepti-creeps must be desperate!" Ironhide mumbled as he gets the location of both places. And opens his comm. Link to Optimus.
The Constructicons were nearly done with their mission, "just a little more and we can get out of here before the Autobots have a chance to his us," Hook said.
The other two rigged the town to be blown up to little bitty pieces and returned to the others, "ready when you are," Scrapper said.
