Location: Autobot base Omega

It had been a day since Caboose went into Megatron's mind to find the cure of the Cybonic plague to cure Optimus. And in the next day Caboose has been acting strangely as the Autobots took noticed of Caboose's odd or aggressive behavior. Something is not right.

~Mindscape~

Inside Caboose's Mind is Megatron, who was covering his audio receptors from the Caboose-Optimus' constant rambling while Megatron grits his dentas in annoyance, he doesn't seem to be happy at the moment.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP!" Megatron roared at the Caboose-Optimus.

"NEVER! YOUR EVIL WILL BE THWARTED! AS I OCTOPUS TRINE IS HERE!" Caboose-Optimus declared.

"THAT'S NOT EVEN THE CORRECT NAME!" Megatron shouted.

"YES IT IS! NOW FOR A HEROIC SPEECH!"

"Oh Primus! PLEASE NO!" Megatron pleads as hecovers his Audio receptors as he grits his dentas in annoyance.

While the Caboose-Optimus starts talking nonsense about heroic stuff, so much for Megatron's demise, he is thinking on how he is going to take control over Caboose's body, but an idea came into his processor.

"Excuse me, I have a question..." catching the Caboose-Optimus attention.

"What is it, Megawatts?" Caboose-Optimus asked.

Megatron was tempted to punch the Caboose-Optimus for calling him 'Megawatts' but he calmed and asked.

"Where can I find away to control.. this body?" Megatron asked, knowing the Caboose-Optimus might be stupid enough to reveal the location.

"Even you asked me nicely! I shall never tell you where it is!" Caboose-Optimus declares as Megatron narrows his optics at the Caboose-Optimus, before he could beat the living scrap out of the Caboose-Optimus, he then said. "...Which right over there! Behind you!" He said pointing behind Megatron.

(This is what it looks like )

"Well...that was easy..." Megatron said, surprise by stupidity of the Caboose-Optimus.

"Now I shall continue my nonsense talk about heroism! Now! blah blah blah..."

'I don't have time for this!' Megatron groaned as he entered ruins.

~out of the mindscape~

In the Autobot base, Racthet is seen working on the monitor while Optimus and Bulkhead went for a drive, as a worried Bumblebee, Raf and Arcee are seen walking up behind him.

"Um Ratchet, we need to talk..." Arcee begins.

"Yes? What is it now?"

The trio glances at each other before answering.

"It's about Caboose..." Arcee said, in concern.

"Huh?" Ratchet said confused by the question as he turns to look at them. "...what's wrong with Caboose?" He questioned.

"Well...Caboose has been acting weird lately..." Raf said.

"Weirder than your original Blue Vehicon would do? Like talking about Chicken soup or talking nonsense?" Ratchet sarcastically said.

"Well... Something like that, but that's not the case, he has been... more aggressive recently... as in Decepticon aggressive..." Arcee informed, this statement caught Ratchet's attention.

"Such as...?" Ratchet narrows his optics in suspicion by this information.

"He's visor keeps on flickering from Orange to Red multiple times..." Arcee listed.

"He's voice sounded more deeper..." Raf added.

"...and sinister..." Bumblebee Shudders.

"Hm... strange, we know for a fact when he's angry Caboose's voice deepen and his visor flicker from orange to red, like what happened before..." Ratchet remarks, remembering the incident that involved Caboose beating the scrap out of Makeshift. "...Anything else?"

"He threatened Bumblebee to put his helm in platter..." Raf added while Bumblebee shuddered at that threat.

"...that's...oddly disturbing..." Ratchet said, admittedly disturbed by this.

"Obviously! What's wrong with him?" Bumblebee exclaims.

"I don't know, but could it be possible that he would... betray us?" Ratchet said, unsure if this might be true.

"I highly doubt that Caboose would do that, he risked his life to save Optimus and if he was a traitor then, we would have the Decepticons be in our base blasting our sparks off..." Arcee defended.

"Then what's wrong on with him..." Raf said worriedly, the Autobots are conflicted whether or not Caboose is a traitor, despite being a Vehicon.

However Caboose did show a strong care to his team, and they all share a strong bond to each other, despite Caboose being a huge lovable idiot to the team, but seeing him in a different behavior unsettles him.

"Alright, here's what we are going to do, Arcee, Bumblebee and Raphael, I want all of you to keep a close optic on Caboose, we don't know when he would go on a rampage or do something suspicious, got it?"

"Got it!" They said in unison.

~In Caboose's Mindscape~

Megatron is seen walking on a bridge while he is in deep thought.

'It is only a matter of time before Optimus discovers all is not right with his Vehicon. I must reclaim my body...which means taking complete and total control of this... Drone's body... I must leave this body immediately! I cannot take it anymore with this fragging annoying Autobots! The last thing I need is-.'

"STOP RIGHT THERE!"

Megatron's thought was interrupted when he sees infront of him is a Maroon Vehicon, with a Orange visor and in his servos is a blaster aiming at him.

"Freeze! Look! I captured someone! I am the best! I mean, I'm the best one that isn't Caboose!" The Maroon Vehicon yells out happily.

"Great job Simon!" A Orange Vehicon said in a scratchy voice, coming out of the corner.

"Thanks orangish guy whose name I really don't remember." The Maroon Vehicon said.

"Let's all go shopping to celebrate!" A Vehicon in Pink (Lighish Red) said in a female voice.

"Great... just what I need... more idiots..." Megatron muttered annoyed by the situation he and then a Red Vehicon enters the fray.

"Dar, let's be making him walk the plank." The Red Vehicon said as he accidentally destroys something with his shotgun.

"HEY YOU BREAK SOMETHING! Which I should yell I NEEDED THAT!" Caboose-Ratchet shouted.

"LETS GET WRECKING!" Caboose-Bulkhead shouted.

"Not them again!" Megatron groans, before speaking out catching their attention. "LISTEN! I'm here to speak the one that's in charge of this.... mind..."

"Stop asking questions, you! We don't like questions in here. Thinking of answers makes people's heads hurt." The Marion Vehicon said.

"Idiots..." Megatron said.

Then Mental Bumblebee comes in view and said. "Beep boop I cant speak but they understand me anyways beep bleep blah blah!!"

"Listen! I need to talk to the one in a charge of this mind!" Megatron exclaims catching there attention.

"Why would we do that?" The Caboose-Maroon Vehicon asked.

"Because, I want to... have a nice friendly chat with the one leading here..." Megatron lies trying to convince them.

"Le Gasp! Are you Caboose's new friend!?" The Orange Vehicon said.

Megatron was silent before answering "yes...I'm his...friend...." Megatron reluctantly said.

"Oh...them why didn't you say so?!"

Megatron facepalmed.

'Primus please get me out of here...'

~Outside the his mind.~

Outside the mind, Caboose is seen is walking in the hallway probably doing something nonsense or stupid, as Arcee is far behind, observing him for any odd behavior.

"These walls looks the same! I must be walking around circle...and I'M LOST!" He exclaimed as something came in mind. "Oh I know what to do!" Caboose then grabs something behind him and draws something in the wall.

Arcee looked confused by this action as Caboose continues drawing, after a few minutes he finishes and walks away. As soon he is out of sight, Arcee begins to pursue him, but to her curiosity, she wonders on what Caboose drew.

Arcee took a closer look and was surprise to see this one the wall.

It's drawing of her and Caboose, she gaze at it as a light blush appears on her faceplate oddly enough it's quite cute, but she notices something about weird about the drawing, the fact that Caboose's helm looks a lot like a helmet than the Vehicon one. Arcee however remember she was suppose to keep an optic on Caboose so she continues to pursue the Blue Vehicon.

~In Caboose's Mindscape~

In Caboose's Mindscape, Megatron is seen going to meet Caboose. Only to be halted a Light-Blue Femme with her blaster raised, along with a Steel Colored Vehicon.

"Hold it right there! Who dares to disturb the mighty Caboose!" The Light Blue Femme demanded.

"Dar, this here is Caboose's new friend! He wants to meet him!" The Red Vehicon said.

"Oh, why didn't you say so! Let him in! As I Agent Washingtub will record this information!" 'Agent Washingtub' said as he runs off.

Megatron pinches the ridge of his nose(even though he doesn't have one) in annoyance, 'Can I Please see someone more  intelligent than weak minded!'

Soon Caboose is seen meeting Megatron.

"Jolly good day, Mister Caboose. We be havin' a friend for you we do." Mental Red Vehicon introduced.

When Caboose looked who they brought let out a gasp seeing Megatron, "...impossible..." he whispers in shock.

"Hello...Caboose..." Megatron said with disdain in his voice.

Before anyone could talk, Mental Arcee comes in view.

"Hey Caboose! Who's that!? Is he your new friend!?" Mental Arcee growled and walked up to Megatron. "Listen here you Buckethead! I'm Caboose Bestest Friend... possible love interest..." she muttered the last part. "...but you better stay away from him! Nothing more! Nothing less!"

"Arcee!" Caboose called out catching her attention, "step away from Megatron!"

"But-" Caboose puts his servo on her shoulder.

"Please, let me handle this" he pleaded, Mental Arcee reluctantly nodded, Caboose then turned his attention the rest and said, "I want everyone to leave immediately! I will deal with him myself..." Caboose ordered as the Mental characters left them alone.

"What are you doing here Megatron?" Caboose said sternly.

"Simple, to reclaim my body... I have grown tired of being here! So I reclaim my body, easy as that!" Megatron offers.

"Like scrap I'll let you do that! I won't take control of me!" Caboose said as he gets in a fighting position.

Megatron only laughs at the Blue Vehicon's stance.

"It is only a matter of time before Optimus discovers all is not right with you, Drone. I must reclaim my body, which means taking COMPLETE and total control of yours Drone! So I can finally leave this horrid mind of yours!!!" Megatron Declares

"I'm still here for you Megawatts!!!" Mental-Optimus said from the distance.

"SHUT UP OPTIMUS!"  Megatron roared.

"Never!" Megatron growls in annoyance from the Mental image of his nemesis.

"Go ahead and give me your best shot, Megatron! You have to fight me first if you want to gain control!" Caboose shouted as he gets ready for a fight.

"You cannot resist my attempt forever, Drone." Megatron said.

"We'll see about that!"

Soon both Caboose and Megatron got into a fighting stance and stared at each other down, as the atmosphere becomes tense, and soon charged at each other.

~Outside the his mind~

While Caboose made his way back to main area, he left a small helm ache, but he ignored it and continues walking without knowing Arcee is behind him.

Few minutes later, Caboose walked in the main area, and saw nobody was there and saw something that caught his attention, it's one of Ratchet's tools.

"Oh! What's this!?" Caboose excitedly walked towards it and grab the tool in his servo tightly. "Uhm... how does this work?" Then his visor turned red and he crushed the tool.

"Caboose!" Caboose turned to see an angry Ratchet.

Before Ratchet could scold him, he froze when he notices his visor turned blood red, which unsettled the Medic, he knows Caboose's visor turns red only when he's mad, but what confuses him what made him mad.

"...Bullhead did it..." Caboose said sheepishly.

Ratchet shook from his helm and sees Caboose's visor flicker back to orange.

"Caboose, What has gotten in to you?" Ratchet asked worriedly and in concern.

"What? Something entered my head?" Caboose tilted his head confused.

"What? No, I mean is there something wrong?" Ratchet clarifies.

"Wait? Am I wrong?" Ratchet facepalmed at this

"Caboose..." He sees Arcee walk beside Ratchet, concern shown on her faceplate, with Bumblebee holding a... traffic cone?

"Hi Arcee!" Caboose waved happily.

Arcee waved before speaking, "Caboose, You've been... acting strange lately..."

"What's strange? GASP! AM I A STRANGER!? Who am I!?" Caboose gasped, Ratchet faceservod at this again.

"What!? No! Caboose, look you've been acting differently, like very different..." Arcee clarified.

"Oh... Is it because I forgot to eat my vegetables..." Caboose said, making everyone facepalm at this.

"Caboose! You're a cybertronian! You don't eat vegetables!" Ratchet said clearly irritated by Caboose's stupidity.

"Neat..."

'Is the only problem I have to worry about is his stupidity?!' Ratchet thought in frustration.

Arcee cleared her throat catching Caboose's attention to her.

"Hi!" Caboose said.

"Caboose, What's making you doing this... unnecessary actions..." Arcee said in concern.

"...like threatening me to put my helm in a platter..." Bumblebee shuddered with his traffic cone in held on his servos.

"Oh... it's because I have a imaginary friend telling me what to do..." Caboose stated causally.

"What imaginary friend?" Ratchet asked confused.

"He's the mean person inside my head! He's name is Megawatts!" Caboose said happily.

"Megawatts?" Bumblebee asks, still with his Traffic Cone in his servo.

"Yeah, he was mean and-" before Caboose continue, Ratchet interrupted him.

"Wait, as you mean in Megawatts...do you mean... Megatron?" Ratchet realized

"Ah....yes... something like that.... he was very mean..." He replied.

"Woah, Woah, back up a second. You're seeing Megatron in your mind?" Bumbelbee asked in shock.

"I don't know what you mean but I'm going to nod and say yes..." Caboose said.

There was silence until.

"Yes!" Caboose nodded as Arcee sighed.

"This is not good, not at all." Bumblebee said.

"Agreed..." Ratchet said.

~Timeskip~

Caboose is seen, on a medical chamber with the Autobots watching in a mixture of concern and...

amusement...

because Ratchet is forced to tell Caboose a bed time story so he could go to recharge, so much for the Medic's embarrassment and the bots and Raf's amusement.

"...And the Autobot Medic punched the annoying Blue Idiot to sleep, and he live happily annoyingly ever after... THE END!" Ratchet finished in annoyance while the Bots and Raf were watching in amusement, with Raf secretly recording this and Optimus trying to keep a straight face.

"Yay! Thank you!" Then Caboose goes to recharge or powering down or sleeping, as Ratchet begins to scan Caboose while all the Bots and even Rafael was there look at Caboose worried.

Ratchet stopped scanning and turned to the Bots and human, present. "Caboose had been experiencing intermittent visions, or having hostile visions." The Autobot Medic explained to them.

"But, you said he was fine when you checked him over." Raf said.

"Physically, yes... But the experience he endured having temporary effect on his psyche, his mind should rest and recover." Ratchet reassured. 'Atleast I don't have to worry about telling him a bed time story...'

"And if that doesn't work?" Bullhead asked grimly.

"It should..." Ratchet sighed, knowing all they could do now was wait.

A beeping noise brought everyone to the main terminal, where it revealed it was a call from Agent Fowler.

"Prime! You spot any Cons wearing hula skirts lately?" Agent Fowler asked.

"No... How about telling a Blue Vehicon a bed time story so he could sleep?" Ratchet said sarcastically, while Bulkhead and Bumblebee snort at that.

"What?" Fowler asked confused, but Optimus clears his throat catching his attention.

"No, special agent Fowler, Why? Optimus asked.

"Cause I was hoping that you'd have a lead on the Cons that busted into the Hawaiian Naval Observatory. Place looked like it was hit by an army of wrecking balls." Fowler explained.

"Why would Cons break into an observatory?" Bulkhead asked.

"Does the Hoit Niko Gosium ring any bells?" Fowler asked.

"The space telescope." Raf realized.

"As of last night, missing its primary lens." Fowler informed.

"It's difficult to guess Starscream's intent without knowing where the lens has been taken." Optimus said.

"Good things the lens has a tracking device." Fowler added as map of the world was shown as they zoomed in on the Arctic.

"The Arctic? Great, another chance to freeze our spark plugs off," Arcee said sarcastically. "I'll go see if Caboose still has those snow cloths." She stated as goes to get them.

Ratchet whistled as it zoomed in once more on an energon deposit. "That's an ND7class. Biggest unmineable energon deposit there is."

"Unmineable, until Starscream melts his way down to it." Optimus said.

"With the help of the lens." Bumblebee added.

"Melting a glacier that size would cause sea levels to rise and demolish coastal cities." Fowler warned.

Optimus turns to his Medic and said, "Ratchet, Bumblebee! Activate the Groundbridge immediately and stay here and monitor Caboose's condition!" Ratchet and Bumblebee nodded as he sets up the coordinates and activates Groundbridge as Arcee returned wearing the warm clothing.

"Oh before you go," Fowler said catching their attention, "...what is this about telling a Blue Vehicon a bed time story?"

"Bye!" Ratchet said in embarrassment and cuts of communications, but Rafael secretly sends it to Agent Fowler.

Bulkhead looks at Arcee and ask, "Is it necessary to wear that?" He said, referring to Arcee wearing the Warm Clothing.

"Maybe, But it's just Incase I might freeze my spark off..." She replied, getting an 'oh' from Bulkhead.

Optimus then said "Autobots! Roll out!"

Soon the Autobots entered the Groundbridge and leaving Ratchet and Raf, and possibly a sleeping Caboose.

~small Timeskip~

"So I blow past the finish line. Then my other sister, Pilar, asked how I gotten so good at racing. And I told her I know a guy who knows cars." Raf explained to Caboose and Bumblebee, while Bumblebee listened.

"Interesting..." Bumblebee said listening to him.

"Rafael, I'm afraid Caboose can't hear you in power down mode. It's getting late. Why don't I bridge you back home with your family?" Ratchet offered.

"Because I told Caboose I'll stay. He's family too." Raf answered.

"Don't be ridiculous. You're not even the same species." Ratchet added.

"I don't think he means it that way Ratchet..." Bumblebee said.

"That's being related, it's not the same thing. I'll show you." Raf said as he took out his phone. "This is my family."

Ratchet knelt down to get a closer look. "Hm. Yes, very nice."

"Very large. Sometimes I can shout and no one hears me." Raf emphasized.

"Yes." Ratchet mumbled quietly.

"But Bumblebee always listens and so does Caboose.... well sometimes but, and I can understand him, I'm not sure why, but I do, even though he can talk some... nonsense." Raf explained, causing Ratchet and Bumblebee to smile.

~Small Timeskip~

At the same time, Raf was surfing on the Internet with Bumblebee beside and, still next to Caboose.

"Rafael, I'm going to the supply vault to see if I can find parts to repair this." Ratchet said hanging the broken tool. "You two know what that means?"

"Don't touch anything." Raf and Bumblebee said in unison.

Just a couple of seconds after Ratchet left, Caboose's Visor came back online, but it's colored blood red.

"Wait until you see this new laptop I'm saving up for, Bumblebee, maybe I could show you those cat videos Caboose showed us." Raf suggested.

"Cat Videos!" Bumblebee said excitedly.

Caboose didn't listen to them as he walked out of the medical chamber, getting Bumblebee and Raf's attention.

"Caboose? Caboose!" Raf said.

"Um Buddy?" Bumblebee asked warily as his servo is slowly reaching for his traffic cone.

Caboose typed in a set of coordinates and the ground bridge came online.

"Caboose!" Raf and Bumblebee cried as Caboose went through the vortex.

In that moment, Ratchet returned, he soon notice that Caboose is no longer there.

"What did you two do!?" Ratchet demanded.

"Nothing! Caboose just got up and..." Raf started to explain.

"He was in power down, it's not possible he managed to get away! Where does he think he's off to?" Ratchet asked to himself.

~Somewhere~

The ground bridge transported Caboose to the same place where Megatron summoned his undead warriors.

"Where is it? Where?" Caboose said in a deep voice (similar to O'Malley) as he looked around

Then his Optic flicker to yellow.

"Oh! Are we here to play hide and seek?! Okay! You hide! I seek!" Caboose said  happily.

"Shut up Drone!" His visor flickers to Red.

"Wait... I'm a dome!?" Caboose asked in shock.

"SHUT UP!"  Megatron roared.

"Okay... sorry." Caboose apologized.

Megatron looks and remembered what happened the last time.

Then he saw a purple light on the ground. He grabbed the light's origin: a dark energon shard.

~Location: Autobot Base~

"These are the coordinates for the sight of our previous battle with Megatron's undead." Ratchet observed.

"...how does he know about this?" Bumblebee asked in suspicion.

"I don't know... something is not right..." Ratchet said.

"Maybe we shall call Optimus." Raf suggested.

"Optimus is busy preventing a polar ice cap from melting. We need to handle this on our own." Ratchet said as he activated the ground bridge again.

Just after activated it, Caboose came back from the ground bridge.

"Caboose, what have you been doing?" Ratchet demanded. He grabbed his servo, seeing what he was holding. "Dark energon? What are you planning Caboose?"

Then Caboose punched him, sending him back to a wall and causing him to fall unconscious.

"Caboose, what are you doing!?" Raf asked in shock, right before Caboose looks at Bumblebee making the scout shudder in fear, he then walks towards Bumblebee menacingly.

"Protect me cone!" Bumblebee holds the traffic cone over his faceplate in fear as he uses it sheild.

But Caboose just simply punched, sending him back to the wall and fall unconscious like Ratchet.

Caboose then turns his attention to Raf and he picked him up.

"Caboose, please! I know you're in there! You have to fight whatever's making you do this!" Raf begged, but the Possessed-Caboose roared at him.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP!" He roared at him with at him making the poor kid flinch at his tone of voice, as Caboose put him near the air vent and ran through the ground bridge.

Then Ratchet and Bumblebee soon gain their conscious as they groans in pain.

"Ratchet, Bumblebee, are you guys okay?" Raf asked anxiously.

"I'm fine. The more importantly is Caboose. I fear the time he spent in Megatron's mindscpe is causing him to think like an Con, and to make things worst he's Vehicon meaning he remembers which he is in." Ratchet said as he and Bumblebee walked to Raf.

"Caboose is not a Con!" Raf said in denial before Bumblebee picked him up and place him on his shoulder pads.

"I understand your denial. But we need to find out exactly what Caboose intends to do with that shard." Ratchet said.

"Unless..." Bumblebee realize, "The only one who knew of the dark energon...was Megatron."

"Caboose has Megatron's memories?" Raf asked in confusion.

"Worse. Megatron is occupying Caboose's mind." Ratchet said.

"What?!" Raf and Bumblebee yelled.

"How could I have been such a fool? The cortical psychic patch acted as a two-way conduit. When Caboose returned to his own mind, Megatron followed. And now, Caboose- Megatron has bridge to nearly the same coordinates Optimus used." Ratchet explained,

"So that means..." Bumblebee beeped.

"Caboose is no traitor nor Decepticon, he's an Autobot..." Ratchet concluded, making the Autobot and Human sigh in relief as he pulled the lever and the ground bridge opened once again. "Bumblebee with me, Raf stay here."

"No, Caboose needs me, he's family." Raf interjected, with Bumblebee agreeing with him.

Ratchet sighed in defeat. "Of course he is."

Before they continue, "Oh and one more thing..." Ratchet looks at Bumblebee with a questioning look. "Why were you using a... traffic cone?" He asked Bumblebee.

"Don't ask..." Bumblebee said quickly.

~Timeskip~

Megatron was close to resurrecting his body. He used the Caboose's body to get onto the Nemesis, before being interrupted by the Autobot medic and the scout.

"Hold right there Megatron!" Bumblebee beeped out.

"Bumblebee, remember don't hurt Caboose!" Raf instructed.

"Got it!" Bumblebee replied.

Both Ratchet and Bumblebee advance to towards the Possessed Blue Vehicon, while he Warlords smirks.

"You made big mistake coming here, NOW YOU WILL ALL TASTE! OBLIVION!!!" Megatron roars at them in a deep menacing voice, then he advances towards the Autobots, Bumblebee charges to punch him. He ducks under the punch, making Bumblebee miss his head. Bumblebee then turns around, only to be met by a powerful punch by Megatron, making him crash on the wall dazed.

Megatron was stunned by this and let's out a laugh.

"This Drone's strength is incredible!" He said in amazement.

The Decepticon then walks menacingly towards Bumblebee, who is a bit disoriented, then Ratchet pounces on the his back and grabs him by neck cables, throwing the Possessed Blue Vehicon off-balance.

"Get out of Caboose's Helm!" Ratchet shouts as he tires his best to apprehend him.

"You have try harder than that!" Megatron mocks as he was able to throw the Medic off him and send him to the wall, leaving a dent.

"Oooooouch..." Ratchet groans in pain

"Who knew Caboose is that strong!!" Bumblebee exclaims in surprises by Caboose's strength.

He then turned to his body and prepared to shivered the shard in.

"Caboose no!" He turned to see the human the Autobots have. "Remember who you are! Remember us! Remember Arcee! Remember the Team! We know you can fight him!"

Megatron struggled as Caboose struggles to get body back. Caboose yelled in pain as Megatron tried fighting back control. He grunted as his head twisted and turned, after a few minutes Caboose's body stopped moving falls limp, with his visor dimmed.

"Caboose? Are you alright?" Raf asked cautiously, while he walks towards the unmoving Blue Vehicon.

Then his digits twitched making him stop on his tracks, Caboose's body start moving standing straight up and his flickers to red! Making Raf shrink in fear.

"No!" Raf shook his head. "We're not giving up on you! Fight!"

Megatron smirked behind Caboose's mask as he towers over the young human and yelled.

"Annoying pest, you will taste, OBLIVION!!!" Megatron roared, 'Hm... not bad, I should have use that phrase more often...' He thought.

Megatron then raises his pede ready to squish the little boy. The Raf backed off in, fear but Bumblebee suddenly intervenes and punches Caboose in face.

"Sorry Caboose!" Bumblebee apologized.

Then Caboose visor flickers back to yellow-orange,

"It's Okay!" Caboose said before his visor is red again.

Megatron then turned to see Ratchet pull at the cable connected to his body's spark chamber. "Farewell, Megatron!" Ratchet said and ripped it out. Megatron attacked Ratchet and threw him into Bumblebee. Once he done that, he went towards his body.

"Caboose!" Raf shouted as he and the other two stood up. When Canoose turned to them, he had the Dark Energon Shard raised and glared at him with a smirk behind his helm, his optics blood red. Megatron is still in control.

"Caboose is not here anymore!" Megatron declares.

"As much as I want you to leave Caboose's body, I can't let you go back to your own!" Raf said and ran at the cables hoping to break the connection. Megatron threw the boy off. Megatron returned his attention to his body before slamming the Dark Energon shard Into his spark chamber, and soon...

Megatron's body's Optics snapped open to reveal the blood red.

"I'm okay! I just fell asleep!"  Caboose said before his optics sees Megatron back on his feet. Decepticon troops came to see what the commotion was about as Megatron proclaim his return, Caboose interrupted.

"Look! It's Megawatts! Hello!" Caboose said happily.

"Megawatts?" The Vehicons ask in confusion, making the Raf laugh at Caboose's statement, Bumblebee and Ratchet just snort.

"Decepticons, your rightful Lord and Master has returned! AND IT'S NOT MEGAWATTS!!!" He glared down at Caboose as he passed but a smirk was on his face.

"Finish these pest! I have my own extermination to perform." Megatron walked out the room as the Vehicons open fired on the Autobots.

"Let's move!" Bumblebee orders as Ratchet help Caboose stand up while Bumblebee picked up Rafael. Bumblebee fired back at the 'Cons before retreating with his fellow teammates.

"Running! Running! Running!" Caboose said while a stray laser is about to hits his helm making Ratchet shout.

"CABOOSE! LOOK OUT!" Ratchet shouts then the laser hits Caboose helm.

"Ow!" Caboose said after laser hits his helm, but no damage has seen which makes the Human and Autobots shock by this.

"H-how!?" Bumblebee asked but it was ignored.

~Meanwhile with the Autobots~

With their objective is complete. The Autobots were successful to destroy the lens heat laser and end the Decpeticon plan of melting the glacier over the unminable energon deposit. However that came with Optimus injured and heated to very high levels from coming into direct contact with the beam. Now Optimus is laying in a crater unable to move.

"Optimus!" Arcee, who is still wearing her snow clothing, called out.

They all looked down to see Optimus deep in the snow. Suddenly, Starscream decides to not waste the opportunity into a attempt kill the Prime and flew in for a missile strike against the helpless legend.

"Megatron's greatest mistake was ever allowing you to live, Optimus!" Starscream roared as he deployed his missile, preparing to fire it.

However Megatron soared out of nowhere and collided with Starscream, preventing him from executing the Autobot.

"Megatron," Optimus said in both awe and shock.

"He's back." Arcee said in horror.

From the Nemesis, Starscream collided into one of themone of the wings of their ship. Once they both transform into their bot forms, Starscream can only watch and crawl in fear as his leader walks menacingly up to him.

"Lord... Megatron. You... Are- You're healed! Praise the Allspark. It is a miracle!" Starscream does what he can to praise and grovel at his newly revived leader in hopes of staving off his aft.

Megatron sneered at the seeker below him. "Oh it will be a miracle, Starscream. If you survive what I have planned for you!" He retorted.

Shrunk in fear and without hesitation, Starscream stood up and transform into his jet mode, intending to fly away. However, Megatron swiftly grabbed the arrogant seeker from his tail wings and threw him across the ship uncontrollably.

Starscream again collided with another spike, quick to grab onto it before he plummeted to the wing platform below. Megatron flew toward him and again transform to his bipedal-mode.

Starscream started to hyperventilate and crawled backwards. The seeker tried to switch the warlord's mind to something else as he pointed to the Autobots in the distance.

"T-the Autobot...are down there." He gestured below.

"My biggest mistake?! I've made a few." He admitted. "And one of them is being inside that Drone's horrid mind!" Still annoyed from the annoyance he has to endure "...But there is one I intend to never make again! Now it's time for you to taste... OBLIVION!!!"

Megatron grasped his servo around Starscream's face and began to drag him back toward the ship whilst the seeker started squirming in fear.

"N-no, master," he begged. "NOOOOO!"

As Megatron drags him and his ship prepares to leave, he sends one last glance down to where the Autobots are gathering. He grits his teeth in anger at seeing the enemy right before him. His attention is moved elsewhere though as over 40 vehicons come running up to him.

"My lord." The one in the front says and salutes before they all bow to their revived leader.

"Don't just stand there! I want you all to get down there and destroy those Autobots now!" He orders loudly and angrily.

The vehicons all comply without hesitation and start going to the ground with the fliers already opening fire in their jet states.

"Let's see if they can do a much better job than you could Starscream." Megatron snarls as he continues to drag the scared 'con away.

Back on the ground, the Autobots notice something coming directly towards them.

"Uh-oh." Bulkhead mutters as they watch over 40 Vehicons come streaming out of the Nemisis and headed straight for them.

"Not good." Arcee takes a step back as the fliers start moving in.

"Autobots, fall back!" Optimus orders and the three of them start running as fast as they can away from their pursuers.

A flurry of blaster shots strafe the ground around them as they run but luckily they miss.

"Ratchet! We need a groundbridge!" Optimus orders as one handed he fires a couple shots backwards at the fliers while the ground ones are just touching to the ground.

"Uhhh, that may be a problem Optimus!" Ratchet replies over the radio.

"What kind of problem?" Arcee angrily growls.

Her answer comes in the form of several blaster shots streaking above them and taking down a couple fliers.

The Autobots look ahead to see Bumblebee with his blaster out and Ratchet holding Raf in his servo and Caboose waving at them at the entrance of a chasm between two very large glaciers.

"This way!" Ratchet quickly waves them over and they comply.

Several shots impact around them but they manage to make it through in time.

"I'm glad you all made it." Ratchet said in relief.

"Question: What are you guys doing here?!" Bulkhead loudly asks at seeing them here of all places.

"It's a long story." Raf answers from his spot on Ratchets hand. He flinches and ducks as a flier streaks above the top of the chasm; the loud blare of its engine echoing off the walls. "Which I'd be happy to tell you all once we're back home."

"Agreed." Bumblebee agrees with the sentiment as they pick up the pace a bit more.

Thankfully the path is pretty thin so none of the flying 'cons can hit them from above. It's also too twisty thought for them to properly transform and speed away to safety.

"I see new friends! I think they want to play with us! HELLO NEW FRIENDS!" Caboose said happily waving at the Vehicons.

"SHUT UP CABOOSE!" Ratchet, Bumblebee and Bulkhead shouted in unison.

Arcee then pulls him down for cover so her Blue friend doesn't get killed.

"Well we need a groundbridge out of here! What are we supposed to walk back?!" Arcee annoyingly asks but Ratchet shakes his head.

"Not necessarily." Ratchet said.

"What do we do?!" Raf asks from his spot on the ground, crouching and curled up as their cover is slowly whittled away from the constant onslaught

"Look out!!" Arcee warns her team. The bots look over and watch as the fliers reform to do another attack run while the rest of the vehicons come running out of the chasm, blasters-blazing as they pepper their cover and the sides as they spread out.

One stray blaster shot from the Vehicon hits Arcee's Shoulder pad, injuring her as she screams in pain and sending the two-wheeler tumbling on the ground as energon is being spilled from her wound.

"ARCEE!" The Autobots cried.

When Caboose sees, what happened and he screamed.

"ARCEE!" He screamed, horrified with Arcee getting shot, and getting injured cause something to snaps inside Caboose, his grip on the Ice Pillar tighten as cracks form on it. Caboose then turns his attention to the decepticons attacking them. He feels his enegron boil in rage, as his visor turned blood red.

"Arcee, are you okay?" Optimus asked in concern, while Ratchet is patching up her wound.

"I'm alright-" Arcee wasn't able to finish when a war cry catches everyone's attention, they look over at the source and it's none other than Caboose, the Blue Vehicon is very angry.

"Caboose?" Arcee asked, in both concern and surprise.

Then Caboose jumped out of his cover, leaving himself on the open and vulnerable causing Autobots to cry out.

"CABOOSE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Arcee cries in shock.

"CABOOSE! GET BACK HERE YOU BIG IDIOT!" Bulkhead shouted.

Ofcourse Caboose doesn't listen to them as the Vehicons' attention is on the Blue Idiot. The army of Vehicons face down Caboose. One of the Vehicons walks up and slams both his servos together indicating they are ready to kick his aft.

"You have no idea what kind of trouble you Autobots are in." The Vehicon chuckles.

Then Caboose did something unexpected, which caught the Autobots off guard. Caboose's left servo then TRANSFORMS into a A Type-25 Energy Rifle (Plasma rifle) as Caboose raises his plasma rifle at the Vehicons.

"Caboose?!" Raf said in shock.

"He can finally transform now!?" Bumblebee said in shock.

(Play the music!)

The army of Vehicons drones charges at him while shooting their Blasters at him. Cabooses fires his plasma rifle at the approaching army, mowing down the first several drones, while avoiding any incoming shots.

"Watch your left!" Ratchet  warns him, while Team Prime watches in shock and amazement to see someone like Caboose fighting.

Caboose looks to his left and flips backwards, dodging a punch from a Vehicon, next he transforms his right servo into a Type-51 Energy Rilfe/Improved(Plasma Repeater).

A Vehicon flies at him with a flying kick but Caboose blasts him out of the air with his Plasma Repeater. He lunges forwards, leaping off the top of the helm of several Vehicons and into the fray. He lands on another Vehicon and skids across the ground on it as he proceeds to blast the surrounding Cons.

"Woah..." Bulkhead said ins shock along with everyone.

Caboose backflips off the Vehicon was standing on, flash kicking another. The other Vehicons attack him but he manages to hold his own and blow them away with his shotgun. One of the drones punches him as Caboose switches to hand to hand combat. He takes out another three Vehicons and throws the fourth into a nearby Vehicons.

A Vehicon leaps forward as the he rams Caboose, sending him flying and he gets up on one knee as Caboose stands up and did something unexpected.

"FRECKLES: EJECT!!!" He orders as his chest compartment opens up and a Mini-con hops out.

"I'm combat ready Captain Caboose!" Freckles stated.

"What!? He has a Mini-con!?" Ratchet said in shock.

"Hostiles: Detected, engaging Target" Freckles then activates his skates and sprints around the battlefield, and spins around, taking out more drones.

Caboose couches down and uses his main turret on his back and fires at a Group of Vehicons trying to intercept Freckles, while Freckles helps with taking out more of the Vehicons. While Team Prime watches in shock and amazement

"W-woah..." Raf said in amazement.

"I-Indeed..." Ratchet agrees.

"Caboose is indeed full of surprises..." Arcee said in shock.

Caboose stops crouching and dashes out of combat for a moment.

He dashes back in and engages the drones, as he begins tearing through the oncoming drones.

Caboose leaps past the Vehicons, but a nearby Vehicon punches Caboose in the face causing him to feel disoriented. Soon Caboose is starting to get overwhelmed. One Vehicon clawed him on the back making him lurch forward allowing another one kick him back, as a third vehicon backhanded him, sending him flying while in the process of cracking his visor as he given distance from the Vehicons.

"Ow..." Caboose said in pain as he looks up to see the Vehicons advancing towards him, "...Uh oh..." he said as he stands up, with Freckles who is ready to defend his master.

(End Music)

"CABOOSE!" Arcee shouted in worry seeing her best friend getting hurt and overwhelmed.

"Guys! We need to help him!" Raf begged.

Optimus nods and looks at his comrades and said,

"Autobots, Transform and roll out!" He orders they are about to save Caboose from getting overwhelmed, Arcee was first to charge in, despite the injury she has she has hopes to save her best friend, she cannot lose Caboose, like what happened to her two previous partners.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, three plasma grenades stick to three Vehicon's heads, making the Autobot halt on their tracks. Caboose and the Autobots then hears a voice that Caboose knows too well, but unknown to the Autobots.
