3rd Person POV

While the adults try to talk to the military about gaining a ship to Atlas, the Dinobots were asked to stay behind and rest, but rest seems to be the last thing on the minds of some of them. Sludge is practicing his wrestling style to combat against Slash and Slam. Snarl and Swoop are trying some team combos. And Slag is practicing his training against Grimlock. All are in human form, to the puzzlement of Arcee.

Arcee: This is how you guys are training? In these fleshy forms.

Snarl: Our mother's told us never to transform unless a real battle is taking place.

Sludge: Like Two-Wheels said, Robots-in-Disguise.

Arcee: But all your weapons are available in your robot modes, why limit yourself?

Before anyone can answer, the group hears the front door open and the adults walk into the living room. Arcee transforms into her Motorcycle mode and the Dinobots are about to greet their parents when-

Pyrrha: Now, can you please tell us what is the reason for all the secrecy.

Jaune: Yeah, I mean it can't be that bad, right?

Team RWBY hesitantly retell everything they were told by Jinn, about the gods of light and darkness, magic, that this is humanities second time around, and Salem's immortality. Naturally-

Jaune: Rah! *punches walk cracking it*

Ruby: Jaune!

Jaune: All of our efforts and sacrifices, was all for nothing!

Blake: It's not like that.

Nora: *distraught* Really? Cause it sure sounds like it.

Blake: I-I-

Ren: If Salem can't be killed, then what can we do?

Team RWBY and the Dinobots remained silent because they didn't know how to respond.

Pyrrha: Wow. Great thinking everyone.

Even the normally level headed Pyrrha was a little frustrated with everything she didn't know about why they all were here.

Yang: No one said this was going to be easy.

Jaune: Easy?! It's impossible! *starts to walk away*

Slash: *shyly* It's not-

Oscar: Look, none of this is great, we know. But we're not the bad guys.

Jaune: *stops walking* *hostile* Are we sure about that?

Oscar: What?

Jaune: He's in your head, isn't he? Did you already know about this? *angrily walks towards Oscar*

Weiss: He didn't know any of it!

Jaune: *grabs Oscar and shoves him against the wall* How much longer can we even trust him?!

Yang: Jaune!

Jaune: How do we even know it's really-

Slash: Daddy! Stop!

Everyone looks at Slash a little surprised by her outburst. Slash just walks up to Jaune and hugs his leg.

Slash: Please, Papa. No more fighting with friends. *sobs* No more.

Jaune doesn't say anything but looks back at Oscar who is flinching back in fear. Realizing what he's done, Jaune let's go of Oscar and gently pulls Slash off him. Jaune then goes upstairs and slams a bedroom door closed behind him.

Slash: *starts crying*

Pyrrha is quick to pick up her daughter and also walks upstairs.

Blake: Will he be okay?

Nora: I don't know! *gets up and leaves*

Ren: I think we just need some time to ourselves.

Team JNPR all go upstairs, while the adults disperse to calm down from that altercation. The remaining Dinobots just go back to the backyard with somber expressions.

Arcee: *transforms into robot mode* You mean to tell me that Salem has magic powers and is immortal?

Snarl: Yup.

Jack: And with Team Prime still in the wind, there is no hope.

Grimlock: That what Salem wants. Destroy hope.

Jack: You really think she can be beat?

Grimlock: Yes. Nothing truly immortal.

Slag: Yeah, we'll put that claim to the test ourselves. *slams fist into palm*

Sludge: We together strong!

Ruby: *yells in frustration* *throws her scroll*

Maria: You know, I came out here to get away from all the yelling.

Ruby: *sigh* Sorry, I'm just worried.

Grimlock starts to walk towards Ruby but is stopped by Arcee.

Arcee: She just needs time. There is something I want to teach you. Jack, let's go outside the city walls shall we? *transforms into motorcycle*

Jack: Yeah. Hop on Grimlock.

Slag: Why does he get to go?

Arcee: Cause I can't carry all of you.

Grimlock hops on and puts on a helmet, Arcee then drives just outside the city but to where humans won't get suspicious.

Grimlock: What we here for?

Arcee: I could use some training myself, if your not scared.

Grimlock: Grimlock not scared of puny two-wheeler! *transforms into Robot mode*

Grimlock towers over Arcee, but Arcee didn't seem intimidated.

(A/N): For this story I'm using the stats of the Transformers Prime Autobots, clearly. So, Grimlock stands at 50 ft tall, whereas Arcee stands at a mere 16 ft tall. Just for clarification.

Arcee just stands there and gestures Grimlock to bring it. Grimlock simply raises his right fist and slams it down in a hammer fist motion, but Arcee manages to dodge easily and kicks Grimlock in the head. Grimlock tries again and again to hit Arcee but fails miserably.

Grimlock: Hold still!

Arcee: The Decepticons won't just stand there and let you beat them. You may have Aura, Semblances and powers I could only dream of, but all that power means nothing if you can't hit your target. Again!

Grimlock: Rah!

Elsewhere in Remnant....

Bumblebee: *series of beeps*

Rafael: Nada, Bee. Just the usual rubber masks and bad CG. But the usual conspiracy websites might be our only chance to- Whoa! *looks at photo* I've got something. It's Ratchet!

Rafael manages to get a location on where the photo was taken before replace it with a funny monkey meme, much to the dismay of the Decepticons. Speaking of which, Megatron has summoned Shockwave and the Insecticon Hive back to Darkmount. Wheeljack has proven resiliant to Starscream's interrogation.

Shockwave: Perhaps if instead of a club, you used a scalpel. I recommend a cortical psychic patch.

Megatron: Then by all means, Shockwave.

Wheeljack is dragged into the lab on the Warship Nemesis and restrained to a table.

Wheeljack: Do your worst, Doc. I'm a Wrecker. I can take it.

Shockwave: Trust me. You, in fact, cannot. *starts Cortical Psychic Patch*

Unfortunately.....

Shockwave: The Patch failed to reveal any new information on the whereabouts of the Autobots.

Megatron: Hmm, I see.

Starscream: Then it would seem Wheeljack has outlived his usefulness. With your permission, Lord Megatron, I will see to the Autobots termination.

But like Starscream tends to do, he makes others do his dirty work for him, so two Vehicon Troopers shackle Wheeljack and drag him to a pit underneath Megatron's throne room.

Drone: Wake up, Wrecker. Time to smelt.

Drone 2: Commander Starscream wanted you conscious so you knew it was him who ordered your execution.

Wheeljack: Where is Screamy? Doesn't have the bearings to do this himself?

Drone 1 pushes Wheeljack, but he stops himself from falling in.

Drone 2: Jump.

Wheeljack: *to Drone 2* Hey, you a flyer?

The Drone looks a little confused until Wheeljack grabs him and tosses him down towards the lava pit. The other troopers pointed their blasters at Wheelhack.

Wheeljack: Alright, alright. I'll jump.

Wheeljack jumped off and landed on the now transformed flying decepticon trooper.

Wheeljack: Thought so. YEE HAW!

The other troopers transform and take off after Wheeljack as he forces the Con he's riding to get away from Darkmount. The chasing Cons open fire on Wheeljack, and as his hands are shackled he comes up with another plan.

Wheeljack: Thanks for the ride.

He jumps off, forcing the Con he was on to crash into one of Darkmount's pillars, Wheeljack than lands on another flying Con. The remaining chasers circle around and come back at him from the front, Wheeljack uses this to have the Cons shoot off his shackles. He then transforms his right hand into a blaster and shoots his way out and as he nears the ground he shoots the Con he's driving, leaps from it while it crashes, transforms into his vehicle mode-

And drives off.

Back at Darkmount....

Megatron: This is how you handle things?!

Shockwave: Wheeljack isn't the first Autobot to escape Starscream's care.

Starscream: Actually, Sir. I let Wheeljack escape. While the Wrecker was still unconscious, after the failed Cortical Psychic Patch, I placed a tracker on him. So when he meets up with his compatriots, my armada will be ready to strike.

Back with Rafael and Bumblebee, they reached the location where Ratchet's photo was taken, in a scrapyard of all places.

Rafael: He's gotta be here.

As Bumblebee rounds another corner, he suddenly stops and both he and Rafael see an ambulance sitting there.

Rafael: *steps outside excited* Ratchet! Ratchet, it's me, Raf.

No answer....

Rafael: Ratchet?

Ratchet: Go away.

Bumblebee: *beeps*

Ratchet: You're interrupting my power down.

Bumblebee: *beeps*

Rafael: Come on, Ratchet. We need your help to find the others.

Bumblebee: *series of beeps*

Ratchet: We can't stop Megatron, not anymore. The war is over, and we've lost.

Rafael: You're giving up?! We can't just give up!

Ratchet: Then tell me what we can do! Without communications, without a Groundbridge, without a base of operations or resources of any kind.

Bumblebee: *series of beeps*

Rafael: Bee's right. We know Starscream had access to a Groundbridge while he was operating solo.

Ratchet: Yes, yes. He'd clearly been use the derelict Decepticon ship, the Harbinger. What does that have to do with anything?

Rafael: It could be full of Cybertronian tech, and it's probably abandoned again now that Starscream's back with the Cons.

Ratchet: Pff. Well, resouces alone won't be much use. Not without someone to lead us. *looks down sad*

Rafael: It's a start!

Ratchet: Then you'll have to start without me. This is someone elses fight now.

Rafael: There is no one else Ratchet! Just us, just the team!

Ratchet: *turns around* Please. *transforms* Just let me rust in peace.

Rafael: Come on, Bee.

Bumblebee transforms and the pair drive off, leaving Ratchet behind.

Meanwhile, the camera fades to Optimus' underground hideout. Optimus lays against a rock resting until Smokscreen uses the Phase Shifter to return.

Smokescreen: I'm back. *Optimus opens his optics* I combed through every inch of our old base. I couldn't find Ratchet's medical kit, not even a bandage.

Optimus: *weak* The Forge of Solus Prime.

Smokscreen: It's gone too. 'Cons picked the place clean.... Wait, if you had the Forge, you could fix yourself up. Power of the Primes! Optimus, just rest, I'll be back.

Back in Argus....

Grimlock: *breathing heavily*

Arcee: You're definitely getting faster, your situational awarness can use some work and you're starting to use your brain a little more.

Grimlock: Hard to think.

Arcee: Shockwave must've rewritten some of your nueral nets to increase your strength. Typical. Come on, it's getting dark. *transforms into motorcycle*

Grimlock transforms back into his child form and they all head back into Argus but when they get to Saphron's house, Grimlock sees Ruby outside.

Grimlock: Mom?

Ruby: Oh good, you're back. We need your help.

Grimlock: What is it?

Ruby: Oscar's missing.

Grimlock: *sniff* *sniff* *sniff* *groans* Too many people. Grimlock can't smell him.

Ruby: We'll have to split up to cover more ground. Stay within radio contact, except Jack and Arcee, otherwise Cons will be after us.

Arcee: Right. We'll search along the perimeter and a little bit beyond, just in case.

Grimlock: Swoop, go with them and keep eye on everyone.

Swoop: Got it, boss.

Arcee: Climb on.

Weiss: Be careful, Swoop. *as they drive off* And don't forget to wear your helmet!

Ruby: Everyone else, pair off.

(A/N): Well, things are moderately improving, but the bad guys still have the upper hand. Let's just hope, the Dinobots can help turn things around, soon.

And, CUT! Great take everyone, take lunch and we'll get back to it. Dismissed!

Hope you all enjoyed, after Volume 6, I'm going to release updated bios for both the Dinobots and the Autobots, just so you have an idea who we're dealing with.

Thanks for reading and, as always, I'll see you all next time. PEACE OUT!!!

P.S.: I'm also gonna release new- Hey, why is this saying new bloopers are coming out? *realizes* RUBY! *walks off-screen*

Ruby: *appears on-screen with a marker in hand* Hehehehe. *disappears off-screen*
