"I thought he left!" Sideswipe tried to defend himself but the bots and soldiers were having none of it.

"You can never turn your back on an enemy, whether you think they left or not." Optimus lectured.

Sideswipe nodded while rubbing his face plate in frustration, not at Prime, at himself. How did he not see the Decepticon? How, when he scanned his surroundings, did he not see it on the scanner? Also, why did he dismiss it so easily?

"I have a feeling this isn't over." Stunner put in.

"How so?" Current asked.

"Why would a lone 'Con drone be out here by itself? It was after something." Stunner explained.

"I agree with Stunner, it just doesn't make sense." Ironhide thought aloud.

"Everyone, I want you on high alert for anything suspicious or out of place." Optimus commanded.

"Yes sir."

"You got it Prime."

---------------------------------------------------

Over the next few days everyone has been on alert for any Decepticon movement. They now had three Autobots on patrol each night instead of two. If a 'Con was to attack the three could hold them back before the others got there to help.

This night's patrol was Ironhide, Current, and Stunner. Ironhide was trying to ignore the conversation going on between the brothers and watched his surroundings, scanning constantly.

"It doesn't seem like anything is out there, Ironhide." Current dismissed.

"You can never be too careful, kid." Ironhide explained before going back to his previous activity.

They circled for hours but as morning came along nothing has shown up. Ironhide didn't think much of it, they did loose Frenzy, they found out his name by scans and tests. There's no way they would attack that early on. Then again, you can never be too careful.

They went inside to let the next three patrol, Jolt, Mudflap, and Skids. Ironhide and the surrounding Autobots watched as they went outside thinking one thing. 'Oh no'.

---------------------------------------------------

Mudflap and Skids were racing around as fast as they could to see who was the fastest out of them both.

"Could you both please focus for one second?" Jolt hissed.

"Nah, man, we havin' too much fun." Mudflap answered.

"You should try it sometime, Mr. Grumpy." Skids backed his brother up.

Jolt rolled his optics, though no one could see it as he was in his alt mode, but he didn't understand what he did to deserve this.

A/N: There you go! Haha. I'm working and thinking of ways to make this story better and possibly longer. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. And I'm sorry if Mudflap and Skids talking was terrible, I'll tell you now for future reference, I suck at that type of stuff but I'm trying. :) Thank you!
