"What the hell is Darkmount?" I asked.

"Darkmount is an Decepticons ultimate fortress. I've been held in one, it's like a maze to be honest with you. A tall vertical maze, the exit being the bottom. And see those cannons at the top? Those can destroy a place like this in under a minute, and it would be as if it didnt exist." NightShade explained.

My eyes widen. I remember Starscream saying something about me powering a fortress that was built on Haven, is....that the one he could be talking about? That place is enormous, and I can see Megatron's vessel at the top of the fortress. The vessel is only a mere ANT compared to the fortress, and I powered that ship. There's no way I could power that entire fortress without dying.

"So Spring, how are we gonna get in there?" NightShade asked.

"Wait what?" I froze.

"This is your home, you want to free it. It's up to you to decide how we get in there, and destroy it." NightShade said.

I swallowed nervously and took a look at the former town below. I examine the paths and roads leading towards the fortress, there's several. Almost all of them very wide and visible, you could be seen coming from a mile away. Wait, there are thinner alleyways leading towards the fortress. They're thin and lots of them have cover, lots of cover. That should be the best way to get into the fortress.

"We could use the thinner alleyways, they have plenty of cover and aren't so obvious." I told her.

"Yes. But you're forgetting something." NightShade said.

"What?" I asked.

"Sewer systems." NightShade said.

She pointed to a sewer lid right by us. How did I miss that?

"Maybe I could send a half of my crew into the sewers, the other half through the alleyways." I thought out loud.

"And what about you?" NightShade asked.

"I'll be walking through the streets-" I started.

NightShades eyes widened, like it was a stupid idea.

"Spring, that's pretty stupid. If you're seen, they'll instantly know something's up." NightShade interrupted.

"In a vehicon cloak." I finished.

Her face then turned into a smile. She patted my shoulder lightly. It was starting to get brighter out, the sun was coming up fast. We both took notice, we have been here all night. We must get out of here before we are seen. NightShade stepped back as the sun shone on her black and purple armor, she stood out like a sore thumb in the daylight. Not like I could say I blend in. I'm covered in grey armor, lots of dark greys and some light grey. I don't blend in either.

NightShade and I turn around and run towards the ship.

~Megatron~

I gaze out upon the planet I have conquered, only we are started in this town and have expanded over time. This planet is rich in our resources, the troops have excavated tons upon tons of energon. Not to mention the creatures have been enslaved and we work thesm to death. Surprisingly, none have perished from the labor. Which benefits to the excavation of our resources.

"Lord Megatron." A voice comes from behind me.

I turned to see the one who had betrayed my daughter and freed the bounty hunter. He kneeled before me respectfully.

"Afton, what is it?" I ask.

"Everything is going accorded to your plan of expansion. But Soundwave has found some footage on our security cameras that you need to see." He stood and took out his datapad.

Afton pulled up the security footage and showed it to me. This is from a few hours ago. I could see two dark figures standing atop a hill overlooking our energon deposit, I can't recognize them at the moment. Afton then brightens the video feed.

It's NightShade and Springlock. The converse between each other, Springlock looking out on the work the Decepticons have put into this deposit. So she IS here, and Prime's daughter as well. Prime's adopted wolf daughter has been a slippery one over the years, always managing to escape. But Springlock should be simple to detain, she's been caught a few times in the past I know. And now she believes she can defeat me. How cute.

"Initiate security measures and if they are seen again, take them into custody. Bring Springlock to me, I shall decide her punishment." I told Afton.

"Yes my lord." Afton turned and left.

~Springlock~

Everyone is gathered in the meeting room, for I had called an emergency meeting.

"Everyone, now that we have arrived on this planet, we must plan our attack to destroy the energon deposit. As well as the fortress that was built here, it must go down." I announce.

"Fortress...?" They mumbled.

"Yes, and this fortress is massive. The Decepticon vessel is only a bug compared to this fortress, and there are 2 ways we can infiltrate it. The alleyways, and the sewers. The sewers don't sound very appealing, but it's only for pumping clean water into the homes. I'm not sure if they've been altered for this deposits uses, so I recommend being careful. I am sending half of you into the sewers while the other half goes through the alleys." I stood up.

The crew members stood at attention. I walked in front of them, deciding on who should be sent where. The Nightmare animatronics stood tall and proud, they would be the some of the best crew members to send into the sewers. Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare Chica had healed after NightShades magic remedy.

"Nightmares, I am sending you into the sewers. If something goes wrong, alert the rest of us with your comm link. The Withered and regulars will go with you as well. Now the rest of you will go through the alleyways." I ordered.

"Yes Commander." They all said.

"You are dismissed." I nodded.

The crew left the meeting room to get themselves well rested for the upcoming battle. Nightmare came up and wrapped his arm around my waist.

"We can do this, don't you worry~." He purred in my ear.

I giggled when he nuzzled my ear with his nose. He then started nibbling at my ear, I pulled away because his teeth hurt. Even if it's only nibbling.

"I'm very tired..." I whispered.

I closed my eyes as I felt him pick me up and carry me out of the room, yawning loudly. It's tiring staying up all night watching what the cons are doing.
Nightmare cradled me close to him, carefully rocking me to sleep. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
