----- Autobots HQ, a few weeks later, afternoon -----

Bulkhead watched as Kari got ready to go hang out with Nate and the group to just hang out. He was a little nervous since she would be unsupervised today, like last time but still it made him uneasy. Kari smiled and giggled as she tightened her ponytail then trotted up to Optimus.

"Ok, so Nate still has your number and everyone knows where the HQ is just incase something goes wrong." She smiled happily, a bit excited. Optimus nodded his head after Kari finished speaking.

"Alright. Make sure you stay with Nate and the others at all times no matter what and please stay out of trouble." Optimus said sounding like a father talking to his daughter. Bumblebee looked over at Kari as he felt nervous about letting her go without any of them staying and he also felt sad since he wouldn't be able to play video games with Kari today. Kari giggled and nodded.

"Course!" She called and jumped up and down happily.

"Be careful." Bulkhead gulped and Kari nodded.

"I'll have the first aid kit ready." Ratchet called and left the room. Kari crossed her arms and frowned at him.

"Kari you better not give them a hard time, alright. But also have some fun." Arcee said being worried, but being cool about it. Optimus nodded his head as he turned into a truck and waited for Kari as he opened a door for her to get in. Kari looked at Bumblebee and smiled.

"I'll play videogames with you when I get back. I PROMISE!" Kari laughed and then got into Optimus and buckled her seat belt. Bumblebee smiled happily after hearing Kari promise that they'd play video games together when she got back. Once Kari was in and buckled up Optimus drove off to drop of Kari at the meeting place. When they arrived Kari smiled and hopped out then waved goodbye to Optimus as he left. The group began to hang out happily, eating lunch and playing at the arcade then playing some sports happily. Nate and everyone began to walk down the street while talking when they were stopped by two men in suits and sunglasses. Nate slowly pushed Kari behind him.

"May I help you two?" He asked, his guard up while Rebecca and Jessica stayed close to Kari.

"Yes." The mainly buff man said as he took out a badge. "FBI... Hand over the girl and no one gets hurt." Kari gulped and let out a whine. Nate glanced at Kari then back to the two men and shook his head.

"Sorry. I promised her family she would be home. I have a responsibility by keeping an eye on her." He replied. The men sighed and the skinnier man took out a walkie talkie.

"We move to force." He said and they were surrounded quickly by men in armor. Nate gulped with wide eyes as he went for his phone. He dialed Optimus and it began to ring but his cell was shot out of his hand then crushed by one of the people.

"Can't get them involved. We know what that... Thing is." The buffer man said, pointing to Kari. The girl gulped then looked at Rebecca and grabbed her arm and shrank her when nobody was looking and put her in a bubble barrier and told her to go to HQ as quickly as possible and that the effects would wear off in ten minutes or so. Rebecca nodded and raced off. Nate was then grabbed, then Daniel, Jessica, Julian and Sarah. Kari looked at the armored men, a little spooked and she gulped. They tazed her, before she could use her abilities then sedated her so she could fall asleep. They then shoved Kari in a metal box that was much bigger than her and then put everyone else in the white van that just pulled up and tied Kari's box onto a truck that arrived close behind. The group was growling and saying to let Kari go and to stop and other things. Eventually they too were sedated and they were off towards a secret lab that was controlled by the government.

----- autobots HQ moments later -----

Rebecca raced in, at normal size yet still in the bubble, which had grown when she went back to normal. She was panting and sweating when the bubble barrier popped and she wheezed to catch her breath. Optimus and the others looked to Rebecca once she got into the headquarters looking frazzled.

"G-guys... I-- we... Men in... Oh scrap... Kari a-and the others..." Rebecca stammered, out of breath and frightened. (Kat: Rebecca if you're reading this, then I'm sorry. But it had to be you.) Bumblebee looked over and stood up from his seat starting to approch the woman. Optimus was getting a bad feeling that something happened to Kari and the others as he went over, knelt down to be eye to eye with Rebecca and gently placed a finger on Rebecca's shoulder.

"Rebecca please calm down..." Optimus said to Rebecca so she could collect herself before continuing about what exactly had happened to Kari and the others. "Now, what happen with Kari and the others, Rebecca." Optimus asked looking at the woman before him. Arcee and Bulkhead watched as they were getting worried about what they all were going to hear. Rebecca gulped and took a breath then sighed.

"W-we were walking to get something to eat since Kari was getting hungry. We were talking and stuff then two FBI agents approached us and told us to hand Kari over but Nate said no and then we were surrounded. Nate went to call you but they shot and destroyed his phone before you could pick up. Kari shrank me down and put me in a barrier bubble a-and told me to come here to get you... I-I think they got her!" Rebecca gulped and shivered. "Wh-What sh-should we do?!" All the autobots including Optimus gasped at the news they were just told.

"We need to save her!" Bumblebee shouted getting up in panic worrying about Kari's safety.

"But how? We don't know where they took her!" Bulkhead said, slightly panicked. Ratchet looked to Rebecca who shook her head.

"I... I don't know where they took her... I'm s-so sorry..." Rebecca sniffled. Optimus ran his hand over his metal head highly concerned about Kari's well being and what the FBI is to do to her.

"We will find her, I will not let the FBI do anything to hurt or endanger Kari's life. However, we need to figure out where they are first." Optimus said as everyone sadly nodded their head slowly. Bumblebee sat back down as he held his head in both hands feeling really upset.

"I should have just followed her, I could of protected her from all of this." Bumblebee stated sadly as he was partly blaming himself for the current events. Bulkhead looked at Bumblebee.

"But then who would save her?" He said and Rebecca nodded and began to talk.

"Yeah, if they got you then she would be broken, knowing that you were there... You have no idea how much she talks about you all. "Hey guess what Bee said" or "Cee told me--" or "I hurt my eye and Ratchet helped" or "Bulkhead told me this really cool joke--" and then "Hey, hey! Optimus was amazing the other day when he---" she loves to brag about you guys and we can't help but smile. If you were there and got caught... She'd never forgive herself for that..." Rebecca gulped and took in a shaky breath. Everyone was surprised to hear that Kari talked about all of them so much and so often to her friends, now that they knew of their existence.

"We will find a way to get her back, there's no way we're letting her stay and rot in that hell hole." Arcee said as her big sister instinct kicked in. Optimus nodded his head in agreement.

"But first we need to get a location on Kari, so we can follow the signal." Optimus said as he headed for the computer room to see if he could get anything. Rebecca stayed with the autobots since she felt she would get caught if she were to leave while Bulkhead was put in charge of caring for her while she stayed. Ratchet helped Optimus as best he could while Arcee helped Bulkhead with Rebecca and Bumblebee went out to search for clues with Arcee when she had the time.

---- With Kaiser ----

Kaiser was in Jasper's junk yard as she was sent by Megatron to look for parts for the lab for Knockout and herself to use. Kaiser made two illusion clones of herself to look for the parts faster since she was given a time crunch.

"Geez, I hope I can just find enough or he'll throw a fit." The real Kaiser said as she huffed while collecting the parts. She was focused on getting the parts that she didn't notice or feel the presence of being watched. That was when a group of three men dressed in black suits walked up to the young black haired girl.

"Hey you there!" The tallest man called out to Kaiser and she jumped then turned around quickly making the clones disappear fast before they could see.

"What's a kid like you doing in a junkyard?" The middle man asked as him and the other two stare down at her.

"I'm just here gathering parts, I'm a mechanic and I need stuff. Who are you guys anyway?!" Kaiser said backing up a bit, but the three men kept closing in.

"We're with the FBI kid, and you're going to be taken in for inspection." The tallest man said as Kaiser let out a low growl. Kaiser drew out a knife and held it out pointing it to them.

"I ain't going anywhere you three!" Kaiser shouted as the short man took out a taser and shot her with it as she fell to her knees. Kaiser was hunched over screaming in pain as she was then sedated knocking her out. The three men then put the young girl in a box that was in a van and then drove off leaving the junkyard. Soon Starscream comes to pick Kaiser up only to find that she was not there. He searched for a while but did not find her. He eventually went to report to Megatron about his findings,thinking about how to best explain things along the way.

Megatron was in his room looking at the screens as he waited for Starscream to come back with Kaiser who was collecting parts.

"Where are they!? It shouldn't take so long to pick up someone and bring them back!" Megatron shouted as he slammed his hands on the desk. Starscream then came in with a gulp. Megatron looked to Starscream who just entered the room.

"L-Lord Megatron... I have some... Disturbing news..." Starscream shivered and explained that he went to pick up Kaiser but she was no where to be seen when he arrived. He also explained that he had looked around the area and still did not see her. Megatron slammed his fist into the wall leaving a dent.

"So you're telling me, you can't find Kaiser anywhere?! Where could she have gone off to?!" Megatron now shouting as he looked at Starscream. The bot winced and shrugged.

"I-I don't know." He stammered. "I-I do remember seeing signs of some kind of struggle near one of the piles... M-maybe she was taken by force?" Starscream suggested with a gulp. Megatron looked at him and snarled.

"Well go to Knockout and figure it out! If Kaiser's been taken I want her found!" Megatron said loudly sending Starscream off. Starscream nodded and left the room quickly then to Knockout and explained the situation and they went to the dump to investigate the scene.

"... It definitely looks like a struggle happened here..." Knockout said pointing out small markings in the dirt from Kaiser stood and where the three men stood. Starscream shivered and the two went back to the ship, told Megatron that it was confirmed that she was taken and that they were working on finding her quickly.

----- FBI place -----

The five agents and the soldiers arrived at the entrance of an old warehouse way outside of Jasper. They took the two girls who were still in the boxes and took them inside to a man with old silver hair and black eyes along with a few other people. They stopped and looked at the few people that were in front of them then put the girls on the floor.

"Here. The two girls you tolds us about. Do what you want." The buff man holding Kari said and backed away from Kari, who was partly out still. The leader, Leland Bishop walked toward to get a better look at the two girls as the FBI agents set them down and smirked.

"Thank you boys, this is highly appreciated. You all can go, we can handle the rest from here." Leland said to the FBI agents and soldiers that were in front of him. Hours later Kari starts to moan as her eyes slowly open.

"N-nngh... What..." Kari looked around dazed, still slightly tired. She was in a pure metal room with a door that had a window that was made out of one way looking glass. A mini camera watched her every move and listened to every word from the center of the ceiling. Kari staggered to her feet and wobbled to the door and went to open it, but it was locked. Kari frowned with a low growl. "... I gotta get home! How should I get out..." Kari mumbled to herself. Outside of cell the sound of boots against the floor could be heard. The sound then stopped once they were in front by the window to Kari's cell, looking in.

"I can see you're finally awake. Allow me to introduce myself kid, I'm Leland Bishop head of MECH." Leland said as he watched her every move. Kari perked her ears and looked in his direction, looking him in the eyes even though she was unable to see them.

"Why am I here? I gotta get home." Kari grumbled, a little angry at the situation. Leland let out a chuckle as he shook his head.

"Sorry to say kid, but you're not going home anytime soon. As of now you belong to us." Leland said to Kari as he showed a blank face even though she could not see him. Kari blinked and began to grit her teeth.

"You'll regret this!" Kari called and punched the door, leaving a dent. "Lemme out now!! I belong to nobody but my family! Lemme out lemme out LEMME OUT!!!" Kari yelled as her body began to emit smoke as her rage grew. Leland laughed at the useless attempt of getting free.

"It's useless trying to get out kid. You and the other one are OUR property now." Leland said as he watched Kari fill with rage as she tried to escape from her confinement. Kari let out a power yell as she went to punch the door again, this time her fist was engulfed in flame. She pinched the metal door and the spot her fist hit began to melt rapidly.

"LEMME OUT OR I'LL GET OUT!!!" Kari called out angrily. "LEMME OUT THEN LET HER OUT!!! I'LL SCRAP YOU IF YOU DON'T!!!" She snapped and her fist was soon through the door. Leland looked at the door as he radioed the control room.

"Leland to control room, I need a sedation for cell captive number thirteen now." He said into the walkie talkie as he kept an eye on Kari. Kari growled and shrank down then made her scarf ends into wings and flew through the hole as quickly as she could, seeing Kaiser in her cell and going over to try and get her out, growing back to normal size to do so. Leland quickly pulled out a taser and shot it at Kari's back before she could try and release the still sleeping girl. Kari let out a painful scream, sounding similar to a roar.

"I don't think so." Leland said letting out a low growl as he called for people to put the younger girl in a stronger cell. A MECH soldier then sedated Kari and dragged her to a new cell, farther away with more security and titanium walls. Leland chuckled and walked over to the other cell to see if the other captive was awake and if she'd try to escape as well.

Inside the cell Kaiser moaned in slight pain as she was starting to wake up. Her eyes opened and she noticed the room was all white and by the metal door was a window. "Damn that hurt." Kaiser said talking about when she was tasered. Kaiser sat up quickly starting to panic remembering she wasn't in the junkyard and Megatron was gonna get PISSED that she hasn't returned yet.

"I see you're awake." A voice called out and Kaiser looked at the window, but she didn't see anyone. Kaiser got up and dusted herself off.

"Who are you, and what's the big idea kidnapping me!? You can't keep me here, I have to be someplace to be!" Kaiser shouted banging on the door.

"I'm Leland Bishop, the leader of MECH. And I'll tell you the same thing I told the other girl, you aren't going anywhere because you belong to us." Leland said as Kaiser growled and her symbol glowed an ominous black mist like always.

"We're not some objects you can just keep in confinement! Why do you even need us?! Release us now or I'll make sure you all face a horrible end!" Kaiser shouted as a cloud of black mist appeared in the cell taking the shape of a big bull. It's black fur with purple curved lines with large horns and piercing red eyes and its hove scuffed the floor. Leland loaded another taser as he watched Kaiser create the animal out of thin air.

"You and the other one will be used for being the perfect weapons. For the longest I've been trying to obtain Cybertronian bio tech, or create something similar. But we've failed until now that is." Leland said plainly as if it was as clear as day. The bull then ran as he sent the door flying into the already broken cell across from Kaiser's and the bull disappeared as Kaiser made for a run for it to look for Kari.

"Why must they always run? No matter." Leland said shooting the taser as he watched the older girl fall over onto the ground as he called for his men to relocate this one in a stronger cell. Kaiser was on the floor screaming in pain.

"Damn it, this is the second time today." Kaiser thought to herself as she was curled up on the floor unable to move. Another soldier came and sedated Kaiser then dragged her to a cell close to Kari's. This one was also made out of titanium and had more security. Leland watched as the took Kaiser away as he walked to the control room to get the information his men have for him.

---- With decepticons ----

Megatron, Starscream, and Knockout were searching for Kaiser as they tried to figure out exactly just who took her. They didn't have much to go on besides the junkyard so they were there looking around for anything else that could possibly help them locate her. Soon the autobots drove up. They were a little annoyed since they could be using this time to search for Kari but they knew she wouldn't want the decepticons running around, possibly killing people under foot.

"Why the heck are you three here?! We have better things to be dealing with so leave before we hurt you badly!" Arcee said clearly highly not in the mood to be dealing with decepticons at the moment. Megatron looked at Optimus and the other autobots as he wasn't in the mood to be dealing with them.

"We're not here causing trouble, if we were this place would of already been destroyed." Megatron said with a snarl. Bumblebee then looked at them confused.

"Then why are you here?!" Bulkhead grumbled with narrow eyes.

"We're searching for Kaiser, earlier I sent her here to gather parts. But when Starscream came to pick her up she wasn't here, we suspect that she was taken." Megatron said pointing to the area where the struggle could be seen. Bumblebee looked at them not knowing to trust them or not. Optimus looked over and then back to Megatron.

"So we're not the only ones who has had someone kidnapped in their group." Optimus said looking at the three decepticons. Starscream blinked.

"So, you let someone take your prescouse Kari? She's always so hard headed, unlike Kaiser. Kari doesn't listen as well as her. You should keep a closer eye on her." Knockout huffed, crossing his arms.

"Hey, don't compare Kari to Kaiser! Kaiser's more of a delinquent than Kari! You're just as guilty! Kari was with a few of her friends hanging out when she got taken away, Kaiser was all by herself!" Arcee shouted at Knockout, ticked off.

"Kaiser majority of the time listens to what she's told to do when she's told, but we don't have time to be comparing the two of who's better or worse than the other." Megatron said ending the argument.

"Megatron is right, and if my suspicions are correct... Kaiser may have been taken by the same people who kidnapped Kari." Optimus said trying to keep himself calm since everyone can't be out of it or they'd never find Kari in time. Bulkhead looked up at Optimus then back at the decepticons.

"So, what should we do?" He asked, keeping his guard up. Optimus thought for a bit then walked up to Megatron.

"Megatron I propose a truce for the time being, obviously we all don't know where they've taken the two so for the time being we work together." Optimus said as the autobots looked at Optimus shocked that he suggest such a thing.

"But Optimus, are you sure that's a good idea?!" Bumblebee asked worrying about all the bad things that could happen.

"Y-yeah... This is Megatron and the decepticons we're talking about here." Bulkhead pointed out with a growl to the decepticons. Chase, who caught a ride with Arcee, hopped off her shoulder and transformed into robot mode and snarled. Snowflake turned into her robot form and snarled at Chase. The dragon roared at the snow leopard then trotted to and sat by Optimus, not happy about this outcome.

"If we want to find Kari, we need all the help we can get. Because both Kari and Kaiser can be in grave danger and we'll get nowhere if we don't stay focused." Optimus said looking to the autobots.

"... Fine... Only because it's for Kari... Don't expect me to get along though..." Bulkhead growled and crossed his arms while Chase let out an agreeing growl.

"For this time we will work together, but once we get them back we're enemies again." Megatron said as Snowflake sat by Megatron agreeing with him. The two sides then began to work together to find the two girls, having almost many sleepless nights while doing so, Optimus having the most sleepless nights out of everyone, Bumblebee and Starscream tied for second.
