Deadlock was on his knees while in a dark room. In front of him was his katana which he pick it up and stare at his blade. He sees his reflection on his blade as he stare at it for a moment only to hear a knock at the door.

Deadlock: Enter.

His door slide open and Knockout walk in.

Knockout: There you are, I was looking everywhere for you.

Deadlock: What seem to be the problem?

Knockout: Bludgeon wants to see you. Something to do with a mission.

Deadlock is a bit shaking for a moment but he gets up, slide his katana at his back and make his leave. He walk pass Knockout and leaves the room.

Knockout: No thank you? Typical.

We cut to Deadlock walking down the halls of the base as he walk pass Decepticon soldiers as well as badniks. He kept walking until he come across a room where Shockwave is in the middle of roboticization Mobians and humans.

Deadlock stare at the captured humans and Mobians when one Mobian glance over to him and stare at him. His arm begins to shake then he kept walking.

He soon find Bludgeon talking with Flamwar as Deadlock approaches his master and then he kneel down in front of him.

Bludgeon: Ah Deadlock you made it just in time.

Deadlock: Knockout told me about a mission.

Bludgeon: Indeed Deadlock. One of our transport ships was shot down by a groups of Freedom fighters at Dowunda. Unfortunately for them, our tracker is still online and we have located their base. Our mission is to wipe them out and take back what is rightfully ours.

Flamewar: Though they will ensure using our tech against us.

Bludgeon: Indeed. Which is why I've call in some power house.

Then the ground begins to rumble and then a tank came rolling in and soon transform to reveal Blitzwing. Then a aircraft bomber flies down and tranform to reveal Lugnut ans Astrotrain came down in his space craft form and tramform into his bot form.

Bludgeon: My warriors, it is time that we will remind those foolish Freedom fighters the wrath of the Decepticons and to our glorious leader, Lord Megatron. Crush our enemies, leave none of them alive!

Lugnut: GLORY TO OUR LORD MEGATRON, THE MOST GLORIOUS AND MOST SUPREME LEADER IN ALL OF THE UNIVERSE.

Blitzwing: How's about you lower down your volume there Lugnut.

Astrotrain: Yeah you're giving me a headache.

Lugnut: You do not dear to speak since you wanted to betray Lord Megatron and even work along side Starscream.

Astrotrain: Your still on with that?

Lugnut: Yes!

Deadlock watch the two arguing while Bludgeon place his hand on Deadlocks shoulder.

Bludgeon: I know you are disappointing to not facing real challenges my apprentice, especially since our old enemies has return. But I will ensure you will be giving a mission that will give you a real challenge.

Deadlock stays silent for a moment and then looks up at Bludgeon.

Deadlock: I have patiences my master and I will continue to be patience.

Bludgeon: That is why you are my favourite student. Unlike Sideways. I knew I've picked the right choice to bring you.

Deadlock: Which I very much appreciate it master.

Bludgeon: Now then, Decepticons, let us hunt some Freedom fighters.

(Later)

We see the base of the Freedom fighters at Dowunda and we see Guru looking out while Barby Koala came over to him and ask hi,.

Barby: See anything Guru?

Guru: Looks clear so far Barby. What about the cargo?

Barby: Interesting tech. Bill is working on the tech so we can use it against the cons.

Guru: That's good to he- hey wait, do you hear that?

Barby can hear it as well and then spotted Astrotrain in shuttle mode flying directly towards them.

Barby: Sound the alarm! They found our base!

Barby and Guru rushes back to base while the base sound the alarm. Astrotrain opens his doors and Bludgeon, Flamewar, Blitzwing, Lugnut and Deadlock jump down and crash onto the ground.

They make theie way to the gates where they are immediately get shot at by the Freedom fighters as they kept firing at them but their shots ain't doing anything to them.

Then one pulls out a rocket launcher and fired at Bludgeon but quickly he slice the missile in half.

Bludgeon: Lugnut, open the gates.

Lugnut then charges towards the gates while getting shot at and as soon he gets close to the gates, he swings a punch and the gate exploded and taking out many Freedom fighters.

Lugnut steps into the base and spotted one trying to crawl away only for Lugnut to stomp on the Freedom fighter. Blitzwing walk in and pulls up his weapon and open fire.

Homes and stores get blown up as Flamewar race by them in her motorcycle node and speed through the streets while burning things as she cost a fire.

Soon Bludgeon and Deadlock enter the base and immediately Deadlock sees death and destruction which he visibly doesn't like.

Bludgeon: Find their leader Deadlock and kill hij along with  his followers. I will recover the cargo.

Deadlock: Yes master.

He tranform to his vehicle mode and speeds off to the Freedom fighters HQ. As he heads to the HQ he begins to slow down and looks around to see the chaos ans destruction. Lives were being killed around him as he hears the screams, explosions and blaster fire.

This all remind him the day when they first invaded Central City and how he is force to kill so many innocent lives that have nothing to do with their war.

Still he kept going, then we cut to Barby with Walt Wallaby and a groups od Freedom fighters and civilians as they escape through a secret tunnel.

Barby: I should've check if there was any trackers on the tech. Stupid.

Walt: Don't beat yourself up Barby. We may lost our base but as long some of us made it out alive, we will never back down!

Freedom fighter member: Incoming!

Suddenly the entire front entrance gets blown up as dust blinds them for a moment. When the dust clears up the group is face with Deadlock as he looks down at them.

He turn to see a tunnel along with the civilians.

Barby: Walt?

Walt: It has been an honour working along side you all.

Deadlock draws out his sword ready to kill them but something stops him. He stare at the scared faces of the civilians, too scared to even fight back. Deep in his spark he knows they are civilians and killing them isn't right.

He turn back to see if Bludgeon or anyone is nearby but they were not. He then turn back to them and tells them while putting away his sword.

Deadlock: Go. Get out of here.

Walt: What? You're letting us go?

Barby: Wait! It might be a trick!

Deadlock: This isn't a trick. You're evacuating civilians who cannot fight. It will be wrong.

Barby: Your......your serious, are you?

Deadlock: I am. This isn't the time to discuss about this. Bludgeon and the other cons come here and when they do, they will not show any mercy. Take as many people as you can and leave.

Walt: He's right. We must go.

Barby agrees and they enter the tunnel. Deadlock turn and begins to walk away when Walt stops him.

Walt: Thank you....we can never forget this.

Deadlock stays silent as Walt goes through the tunnel and make his escape. After that Deadlock make his way back and soon finds the group at the front gate with the retrieve cargo.

Bludgeon turns to Deadlock and ask him.

Bludgeon: Is the job done?

Deadlock: Unfortunately no. By the time I arrive at their HQ......they were gone. Must have a escape tunnel or something.

Bludgeon: Ashame however i do not blame you. Clearly they were ready for the situation when their base is evacuated. Besides, we have the cargo so our mission is done.

Blitzwing: It would have been more fun if the Autobots were here.

Flamewar: Agree.

Bludgeon: Enough chatting. Let us return to Astrotrain and back to base.

Lugnut picks up the cargo and they walk away. Deadlock also follows them but stops and turn back to the destroyed base. He looks down at his Decepticon emblem with shaking loyalty on his eyes.

He then turns back to where Bludgeon and the rest are at then tranform to his vehicle mode and catches up with them.

(Meanwhile)

At Knothole we see Sally talking to Walt and Barby through the screen. Once the call ended Y/n enters the room and walks over to Sally.

Y/n: What's the situation?

Sally: A group of cons arrive at Walt's base and destroyed it.

Y/n: Damn. Anything we can do for them?

Sally: I've requested a group of Freedom fighters to head there to help them out.

Y/n: That's good to hear.

Sally: Yeah but that means we have to be careful whenever we steal some supplies from them. They may have a tracker on the tech.

Y/n: Wheeljack can remove the tracker so if there is any missions involving around raiding Decepticon supplies, Wheeljack will join in.

Sally: Yeah, speaking of him, what is he doing? He along with Tails have been working together on a project for sometime.

Y/n: Probably something cool. I did got a glimps of a wing but can't tell what it is. If I have to take a guess, it might be a new Tornado plan.

Sally: (smile) Well at least Tails is happy that someone shares his intelligence.

Y/n: (smirk) What about me? I'm intelligent.

Sally: (smirk) Do you know the parts od the plan?

Y/n: Uuuuhhhhhh.

Sally: (giggle) Thought so.

Y/n: Hey I'm a soldier, not a engineer. Besides I can be intelligent in order ways.

Sally: (smirk) True.

Suddenly Tangle came rushing in and got soke excited news.

Tangle: Guys you better come to Tails workshop! His plane is amazing! Come on, hurry!

Then Tamgle rushes out which the two decided to go and see what it is.

Y/n: (smirk) At least I was smart about it being a plane.

Sally: (smirk) So true.
