(Nemesis) Third Persons POV

Megatron and his commanders are on the bridge accessing the damage done by Bulkhead. Also Knockout had informed Megatron of Nahko's disappearance from her cell. "Dreadwing. Damage report" Megatron asks.

"We have suffered critical damage of all major systems, lord Megatron. It will be some time before we can get the ship airborne" Dreadwing tells him.

"Soundwave?" Megatron says and he brings up an image of Bulkhead destroying the power core. With Nahko Prime on his back. "So it was an Autobot who crippled my vessel and stole my prisoner. They will move quickly to exploit any perceived weakness" he states.

"Surely they're not foolish enough to launch a direct assault, my liege" Knockout says.

"Optimus has grown decidedly more ruthless since our last encounter" Megatron reminds him. "Dreadwing, Knockout come with me" he orders. They leave the bridge heading for the energon vault as Megatron explained what he planned to do. Knockout tried to talk him out of it and failed.

(Autobot Base) Nahko's POV

Miko was over joyed to see me back alive and well. Bulkhead is telling her and the other two the story how he saved me. And trashed the Nemesis' power core. "But when the Insecticons suddenly backed off, I got inspired by my proximity to the power core and did what I do best. While Nahko clanged to my back" he explains.

"You trashed Megatron's ride like a rock star in a hotel room" Miko cheers.

"We should hit the 'cons right now while they're vulnerable" Arcee suggests.

"Megatron's warship may be grounded, but let's not forget that we remain vastly outnumbered. Especially since has added the insecticon hive to his ranks" Ratchet reminds us.

"Great, more bugs" I grumble.

"Then maybe it's time for me to call in an air strike" Agent Fowler suggests.

"Or for us to consider more extreme measures, Agent Fowler" Optimus states. Before leaving the room with Ratchet.

"So did the cons hurt you at all?" Jazz asks me.

"No, but they were going to use the cortical physic patch on me. To find out how I became a Prime. They want to try replicate it and make more cons" I explain.

"But, that's impossible. Right?" Bulkhead asks.

"Impossible for us, but maybe not for the cons with their supply of Cybertronian technology. And they won't care how many lives they destroy in the process" I state. Optimus and Ratchet return with the spark extractor. I was wary of the plan as there are many ways it could go wrong. But Optimus is adamant about using it. So he left for the Nemesis with the rest of the team and Agent Fowler. Leaving Ratchet and I at base with the other three.

So it didn't go according to plan. Optimus the other four are locked in a form of stasis lock and Ratchet doesn't know how to reverse it yet. But the cons didn't get the spark extractor. Which is strange, the ship just left and they didn't even try to retrieve the spark extractor. So we decide to contact the Nemesis as we can still track it.

Ratchet said I should talk as I am a Prime. But I thought he should do it. In the end, he won and I sigh as he calls the Nemesis. "Autobot outpost Omega One to Decepticon warship" I say. "Megatron, are you there?" I ask.

"Megatron?" Ratchet asks.

"Megatron has been relieved of his command" an unknown voice answers.

"Ok, my name is Nahko Prime. To whom am I speaking?" I ask him.

"I am Nemesis" it answered.

"As in the decepticon warship?" I ask.

"That is correct" it tells me. "Know this, any Cybertronian who interferes with my mission will be neutralized" it states.

"Noted, but what mission exactly?" I ask it.

"Priority one decrypt Iacon database and recover Decepticon technology" it answers. Then shows us images from the Nemesis. All the decepticons frozen in stasis like our team, before hanging up.

"Ok, so a couple of questions come to mind" I state.

"It hung up, now that's just rude" Miko complains.

"Rude?! There's a giant spaceship flying around collecting Decepticon weapons of mass destruction!" Fowler snaps.

"A giant spaceship filled with neutralized Decepticons" Jack states.

"Jack, makes a good point" I state as I look up at the screen displaying the Nemesis' location.

"What point?" Fowler asks me confused.

"This could be our only chance to slip aboard and download the Iacon database" Jack and I say together.

"So Optimus can decode it" Raf adds smiling.

"Ingenious. I will infiltrate the Decepticon warship" Ratchet states.

"Not ingenious. You saw what it did to the Decepticons" Jack reminds him.

"And probably Megatron, too" Raf adds.

"And team Prime" Miko and I state.

"But that tub had me dead to rights, and I'm still breathing" Fowler reminds us.

"The ship may be blind to humans" Jack states.

"Agent Fowler, do you think you could do it?" I ask him.

"I'm a highly trained government agent, of course I can" he states.

"Very well, Agent Fowler. But at the first sign of trouble, I am bridging you right back here" Ratchet tells him.

"Agreed" I say.

"Now, in order to download the database, you will need a compatible transfer drive" Ratchet states handing him one.

"A what?" Fowler asks confused.

"He'll also need tech support" Raf states.

"And back up" Miko adds.

"Be-careful Miko" I tell her.

"Always am" she tells me with a bright smile. Ratchet opens a ground bridge for them and they all go through. I have him focus on finding a way to revive the others. While I take over the communications with the others.

"Fowler to base. We're in" Fowler tells me.

"Very good, not you should be able to access their data core should be accessible from any console" I tell him. They had found a console and Knockout in stasis lock. But also discovered the ship was heading to the first set of coordinates located in Manhattan.

"What would a relic from Cybertron be doing in the Big Apple?" Fowler asks.

"From my knowledge on the subject. Which is minimal. The Iacon relics landed on Earth many centuries ago, Agent Fowler. Long before New York was built atop it" I tell him.

"Which means if the ship wants this one it may have to move some buildings out of the way" Jack states.

"Ok guys, your mission just got complicated" I tell them as Ratchet comes over. "The Nemesis is heading for Manhattan where the first Iacon relic is hidden. Any ideas how to stop it?" I ask him.

"I would advise disabling the navigation module" he states. "Call up the main navigation menu" he tells the others. Fowler attempts to do so and is zapped.

"System access detected. Interference will not be tolerated" the ship says.

"Crap" I say. "Any other ideas?" I ask Ratchet. He does a quick scan of the ship.

"These readings, the ship's rapid recovery all point to the fact that Megatron employed Dark Energon to repair it" he states.

"Hold on. If you're saying the ship is fueled by dark Energon, we can dump it, right?" Jack asks. I look up at Ratchet, this is not my area of expertise.

"You'll need to reverse the warship's Energon infuser. Follow the main overhead conduits. They'll lead you to the power core" Ratchet tells them. Miko, Raf and Jack do so and discover Megatron had the same idea.

"What happens to the frozen cons once they reverse the energon flow?" I ask Ratchet.

"Theoretically, the decepticons and our team will come out of stasis lock" he states. I warn the others and they said they'd be careful. They manage to reverse the flow and return to Fowler. I send them a bridge and Miko half carries Fowler through with Raf.

"Where's Jack?" I ask them.

"He was retrieving the hard drive" Raf states.

"I'll go help him, remain here" Ratchet tells us. Then races through the ground bridge as I notice the others starting to wake up. When Ratchet returns with Jack and the hard drive, I close the portal. We tend to Fowler and Ratchet gives team Prime a scan while Raf uploaded the downloaded data to our mainframe.

"The download of the Iacon database may have been incomplete, but we now possess four sets of coordinates decoded by the ship" Ratchet declares.

"Then we must act quickly, for Megatron possesses the same four sets" Optimus states. "And he will not hesitate to obtain the potential doomsday devices which lie at the site of each" he adds.

"We'll need to break off into teams" I states and Optimus nods his head in agreement. We start to strategize pairing off team members. Giving them each a set of coordinates to investigate. Deciding Jack and Miko would go with the Manhattan team just encase they need someone to run human interference.
