Impounded
While the sun was setting Team Bee got clues that Quillfire was in the town. Capturing him would lead them to Other Decepticons.
"Let me go grab my trailer and we can get going." said Grimlock.
"Sorry, Grim. But my order stands," said Bumblebee.
You see, on last mission, Grimlock was seen by people in the carnival, while they tried to capture other con named Silverhound. They did manage to capture him and Nova manage to tamper their memories in order to invent a cover story for Grimlock, but Bee told they will run out cover stories and they can't disguise Grimlock any other way. So, Bee decided not to take Grimlock on a mission in public.
Of course, what came to Nova, it wasn't that she couldn't come either, but she didn't want Grimlock to feel left out and decided to keep him company. So, she stayed too. Bee understood as he and Strongarm left for a mission.
"No problem, I'll just get back to my target practice. You never know when you might be attacked by barrels!" said Grimlock before leaving sadly from the Command center.
In this Denny, Russell and Fixit looked worriedly on Grimlock. Nova stared at him sadly, 'Poor Grim, I know what's it like to be left out.'
Nova then had an idea as she whispered to Fixit which he understood. It was nighttime, they were looking for Grimlock until they found him, sitting on the bus.
"There you are, Grim." Nova called, walking up to him
"Yes, We've been looking all over for you." Fixit rolls up to him with a data pad.
"Must of not been looking too hard. Cause I'm apparently I'm not that hard to spot." Grimlock said sadly.
"Hey don't say that, You know that's not true." Nova assured.
"I agree. Also, Bumblebee is incorrect, you're impossible to disguise. We simply haven't tried hard enough to find you a disguise." Fixit said.
"Which is we're going to help you find a perfect disguise for you. Therefore, Fixit is going to show you every vehicle and you have to choose which one that would suit you." Nova added
Fixit typed into the datapad before showing it to Grimlock. He looked closer at the pad and apparently didn't like it.
"Next." He said, Fixit shows the next one.
"Forget it."
Fixit shows the next one but Grimlock was still feels disheartened.
"This is pointless! We're never going to find one that's right!!" Grimlock said as he was about to leave before Fixit shows the next one, catching his attention.
"Ooohhh....." Grimlock said.
Nova looked at the Data pad which he choose until she approve, "Good Choice."
Fixit was building something with a help from Nova and Grimlock watching excitedly on what they were making. Nova use her staff to pick two broken trucks along with a broken crane she found in the junkyard. She merged them into creating a disguise vehicle as Fixit helped attached it. Campy and Luna notice them and decided to join in (careful for Luna not to get close to Grimlock since he's still have fears)
Campy used his multiple clones to help paint the disguise while Luna was just standing beside the paint can, not liking to get dirty. Once it's done, Grimlock seems excited and was about to try out the disguise when Nova notice Bee and Strongarm have not contacted for hours as she ordered Fixit to contact them.
It turns out that Quillfire had shot them with his quills and these devices on their tires sound an awful like the car boots. Not only that, they can't transform for some reason.
"Probably must have been his quill." Nova stated.
"She's right. The toxins are probably respensible-redoncable....." Nova rolled her eyes as she hit Fixit on the back which he added, "responsible!! You may not be able to transform until they wear off. You're in an---"
Nova interrupted with her crossed arms, "An impound lot."
::Ugh....How embarrassing:: Strongarm comm
::Quilfire mentioned an island with other Decepticons, that corresponds with what the other Cons have been saying lately. The autoparts he's stolen must be critical to their cause:: Bee said
"Bee, Forget your order and let me get you out of there!" Grimlock said
::No! We already have one crisis on our hands!::
"Don't worry Bee, Russell and I will bail you out. Ugh, we don't have proof of ownership. They'll never let us drive you out of there." Denny said.
"So we won't say they're OUR cars." Russell said.
"May I borrow your plasma saw?" Denny asked Fixit, who lowers the platform
Fixit replied, "My power tools are at your disposal, Denny Clay."
"Help is on the way! You'll be after Quillfire again in no time!" He said as Denny and Russell dispatch themselves.
::Good, He can't be allowed to get back to that island! I'll call if our situation changes. Out:: Bee commed switched off as Grimlock turns to walk away
"Get dressed! While we're waiting, we should see if your disguise should hold up in public." Fixit said to Grimlock.
"I don't know Fixit. Bee sounded pretty clear that he wanted me to stay in the scrapyard." Grimlock replies nervously.
"Grimlock....That was before Bee and Strongarm were imprisoned with a Decepticon loose. If we wait, It'll be too late." Nova scolded.
"She's right. If Denny and Russell can't free Lieutenant or Strongarm, Quillfire may make it back to his island. If we don't prevent that and something awful happens as a result, keeping our cover won't mattered." Fixit said when he notice Grimlock was not there.
"Grimlock?/Grim?" Fixit and Nova said.
"I'm gettin' dressed!" Grimlock yelled back, causing Fixit and Nova to smile.
'At least we got his enthusiasm back.' Nova chuckled
They were at the gate, Grimlock's disguise was a dino-theme crane that match his colors while Fixit and Nova were inside. "I'm not sure this is a good idea." He whimpered to Nova and Fixit.
Nova said, "C'mon Grim....We worked hard in that disguise. It's foolproof."
Fixit added, "She's right. You'll just need to get used to it. Hopefully that will happen by the time we find Quillfire."
Grimlock whimpers before they set off. They made their way into the middle of the city but but unfortunately they accidentally made a traffic delay.
"This isn't working." Grinlock said to Nova and Fixit.
"It's alright, Grimlcok. Just calm down." Nova assured to him as Fixit decides to test the speaker as he picks up his mic.
"Please excuse the traffic delay, this construction crane was specifically designed to look like a dinosaur and to help build schools. Because...." Fixit said, not knowing what to say the last part.
"Because everyone knows children LOVE dinosaur." Nova added quickly
"I'm dino-crane! A happy dino-crane! Dino-Dino-Dino! Dino-crane!" Grimlock sings which Nova mentally rolled her eyes.
"Grimlock, Nova....Local police are reporting a silent alarm alert. It sounds like something we've been interested in." Fixit informed.
"Then....Let's roll out." Nova said. 'Man, I'm starting to sound like Sire.'
They head to their location and manage to find them. They see Quillfire, along with his minicons. "Quillfire, your going down!!" Grimlock said but his crane got in his way.
"Grimlock...your crane is blocking." Nova said to him
He lowers the crane and comes in but he couldn't stop himself. Before Nova was about to warn him, they crashed into the boxes that Quillfire and his minicons were trying to steal. Nova groaned since Fixit was on top of her.
"Pull him up!! I want to see his face as you tear him apart." Quillfire commanded which he didn't know Fixit and Nova were in there.
The purple minicon uses his magnetic power to pull Grimlock back, causing Nova and Fixit to fell off the hatch while the blue minicon uses his magnetic power to push which combine their attacks, tearing Grimlock apart
She managed to grab Fixit and hid behind the shelves. "Yes! Make him a symbol for all those who challenge the revolution!" Quillfire said, pointing at Grimlock.
Grimlocks seems to be groaning in pain while Fixit was terrified, not knowing what to do. Nova couldn't bear to see his friend hurt as anger began to rose, couldn't stand it any longer. She came out of hiding, ignoring Fixit's calling her name.
"Let him go!!" Nova demanded.
Quillfire turning to her, "You dare give me an order?!"
Nova gave him a murderous look causing her blue eyes to sparked as she growled, "I'll say it again."
She took a step and said, "Let him GO!!!!" the moment she said the last part, she unleashes her energy soundwave which was so loud that it nullified their magnetic powers, releasing Grimlock. Her sonic scream was so powerful that it hurt Quillfire and his mincons audio receptors

Nova covered her mouth, the moment she realized what she just did, causing her left optic to turn back blue. Nova lowered her hand and thought, 'Woah, Did I just do that?'
Fixit rolled up to her, "Nova....Was that your new power?"
"I...I think so." She said surprisingly.
Quillfire shook off his head, after the effects of her scream worn off. "Is this revolution a cursed?!" He asked before his Minicon attached to him. He transform and drives away until Bumblebee and Strongarm arrive at the scene.
"Bumblebee sir?" Fixit called.
"Fixit, what are you doing here?" Bumblebee said, stopping in front of him
"Bumblebee!" Nova said.
"Nova? What are you...? Nevermind, Take cover. We believe Quillfire is in the facility."
"Affirmative. He is here," said Strongarm when she spots Quillfire's symbol.
"Actually, he fled just before you arrived." said Fixit.
"Yeah he escape." Nova added.
"I thought I had him. And I didn't have him." Grimlock said, walking forward which caused Bee and Strongarm to pull back in surprise.
"Ah!"
"Sweet Soulus Prime!"
"Cool crane mode, Grim." said Russell, while he and Denny came out from Bumblebee and Strongarm.
"You're here too?!" asked Bumblebee. "You could be seen and I specifically said..."
"No one thought I was anything but a crane. Even you drive by without noticing." Grimlock said.
"That's True..." Nova said.
Bee stutters, trying to defend himself but failed miserably. "Bee, Am I part of this team or not? Our missions is catching Cons, and if I can't help, I might as well not be around at all." Grimlock points out.
Bee was about to say something when Nova added, "May I remind you of the weeks where you left me out from your patrol before the mission to Rear Axle concert?"
Bee didn't say a word.
"Sir, we don't have any time to argue. Quillfire is getting further away." Strongarm pointed out.
"*sighs* Agreed. We'll resolve this later. Denny and Russell stay here!" Bee says to Dad and Russell.
"If Quillfire is still looking to steal a quantity of auto parts, his next likely target would only be two miles from our current coordinates. A large truck stop." Fixit said
"OK. Grim, you're with us and Nova." Bee said to Grimlock.
Yes!" Grimlock said, fist pumping the air.
"So I can keep an eye on you." Bee clarifies to the Dinobot.
"Aw!" Grimlock groaned.
"Don't worry Grim. In case things goes wrong, I'll erase the human's memories. Right, Bee?" Nova winked at Bee which he shrugged.
"Okay......Let's rev up and roll out!" Bee said, before they went out after Quillfire. They arrive at the location and Grimlock was right behind them.
"I think I'm starting to get the hang of-Whoa!" he says, almost falling on Strongarm but using Bee to steady himself when he fell toward Bee. He then straightens nervously. "At least I didn't fall right?" Grimlock asked.
"That's an improvement." Nova reply with a sigh, before they go inside.
Back begins to fire at the team but not at Nova. "Look out!" Nova yell, dodging a stray shot before transforming into her Armor Mode.
"Get to cover!" Bee agrees, before Bee, Strongarm, and Nova take cover.
Unfortunately, One of them used its magnetic powers to stuck metal plates on Grimlock. In this Bumblebee and Strongarm had to distract mini-cons and defeat them. Bumblebee took out Back by using the Mini-Con's own power against him while Strongarm tricked the other into trying to move a bus, resulting in him collapsing from exhaustion.
Meanwhile, Nova and Fixit tried to get metal plates from Grimlock however it wasn't easy because Grimlock kept moving. This left Quillfire outnumbered. Bumblebee and Strongarm tried to capture him, but they got stuck in maintenance pit.
"Tyrants will always find defeat at the hands of the revolution!!" Quillfire said as he transform into his vehicle mode, attaching the trailer which contains the auto parts and was about to escape when he came across of Nova and Grimlock.
"Hey Porcupine!!! If you wish to get through, you have to face me after what you did to my teammate!" Nova said angrily as she create a wall blocking most of the way. Seeing this Quillfire got scared and had to make a quick turn in which all the cargo drop off. While he tried escape Grimlock launched crane hook to capture Quillfire and gave fast spin that left him knocked out.
"Wimp!" Nova to Quillfire before giving Grimlock thumbs up, "Good job, Grimlock." which made him smile triumphantly.
Grimlock came over as Nova used her telekinetic power to get Bee and Strongarm free from the pit. Gimlock said, "Good thing I was here?"
Later, they packed Quillfire and his mini-cons to the trailer which Nova put them in sleep inducement and went out to get Denny and Russell. But while outside, there was a car with a family inside. Everyone fear they notice Grimlock.
The kid said happily, "Dino-crane! Dino-crane! Dino-Dino-Dino-crane."
"Oh it's just that.....crazy new construction vehicle that the radio that is blocking traffic earlier." The father said as they drove off.
"Looks like you found right camo, Grim," Bumblebee said. "You can company the team with missions again."
"Fixit found me a disguise. I can go on missions" started Grimlock, but stop when notice they were still some cars going on. "I can go on missions." he continued quietly.
"The disguise work in. I am a genius." started Fixit.
"I can go on missions." Grimlock continued.
Nova was inside Bee's vehicle mode, chuckling at Grimlock's enthusiasm. "I can't believe that you were manage to help find his camo." Bee said disbelief.
"Hey Fixit help too....Beside, I'm just glad you include him into the mission again. I mean I know what's it like not being included."
"Yeah....at least Gimlock did a good job."
Nova smiled before looking out the window. Bee stared at Nova who was admiring the view of the moon. The glistering moonlight shining on her hair as if it was glowing.

"So beautiful...." Bee said softly until realizing what he just say.
Nova turned to him, luckily didn't heard it, "What did you say, Bee?"
"I mean the Moon is beautiful tonight." Bee said quickly.
Nova looked at him strangely before turning back to the window. "It sure is."
