Every Autobot team with their human companions were all keeping an eye or optic open for something out of the ordinary.

Both Bulkhead and Miko were on their guard but as they can see, it was clearly the scrapheap all over again from months ago.

"Remember, Bulkhead, stay calm and whatever you do, don't scream like a girl." Miko had to snicker as she remembered how freaked out he was by the small vermin but it was still painful.

"Can we not talk about this?" Bulkhead had to stop a groan since it was an embarrassing moment and he did it right in front of Miko.

"Okay." Miko shrugged as they continued walking.

Bulkhead was trying to keep his cool and trying not to freak out but he could have sworn that a lot of eyes were on them, mainly on him.

"Don't you feel like you're... you know... surrounded by a couple of eyes?" Bulkhead asked as he turned around but was being careful not to step on Miko as she could feel that they were being watched by a couple of eyes.

"Not really." Miko laughed nervously but she was really hating this.

They then heard clinking sound and they were both on the verge of attack but they were able to keep themselves calm.

"Though I can be wrong." Miko squeaked as she and Bulkhead continued to search for clues.

On Arcee and Jack's side, Arcee has her guns out while Jack has a crowbar as they were keeping an out for anything that might jump them.

"Be careful where you aim that thing, Jack." Arcee said as she glanced down at her friend.

"Don't worry about my aim, Arcee. Just be sure not to shoot at me." Jack remarked as it made Arcee chuckle. So much like Cliffjumper and Optimus.

"You sound just like Cliffjumper." Arcee said as Jack sent her a small smile.

"Well I wouldn't get shot by my partner." Jack replied back as they were able to relax a little but still has their guards up.

"I'll try not to shoot you but no promises." Arcee said as they continued but they could hear clinking sound that echoed around them and it made them tense up more.

"I don't like the sound of that." Arcee didn't want to admit it but she was getting nervous.

"Let's keep moving." Jack eased her as they continued.

"Right." Arcee agreed as she and Jack kept on moving further.

Meanwhile Bee and Raf were keeping an eye open but Bumblebee can't stop beeping while expressing his precautions and nervousness about the situation. Last time something like this happened, Bumblebee almost became scrap food.

"Yeah considering what happened last time we better keep an eye out. I don't want these things to hurt you like last time." Raf said as he remembered how much trouble those things made and how much damage was inflicted on the base.

Bumblebee beeps and whirred in agreement before they suddenly heard a clinking sound and it was not such a good sound.

"What was that?" Raf asked nervously as Bumblebee was nervous but he beeped that it was probably nothing.

"Let's move before we get in trouble." Raf laughed nervously as Bumblebee nodded before they continued walking but were more both on their guards.

Meanwhile Optimus, Agent Fowler and Ratchet were still walking to try and find anything to give them a clue to where the little things were.

"There's nothing here." Agent Fowler said as he was holding a metal pole for a weapon.

"Then we must keep looking." Optimus said behind his battle mask but he wondered if Emily was okay. Cliffjumper and Smokescreen were both with her but he couldn't help but worry for her safety.

They then hear a clinking noise and it makes them all tense up.

"What was that?" Ratchet asked nervously as they looked around but they didn't find anything.

"Nothing here." Agent Fowler shrugged.

When they thought they were alone, they're suddenly surrounded by MECH soldiers as they pointed their guns at them, especially Optimus and Ratchet who readied their weapons.

"Optimus Prime, it has been a while. Fancy meeting you here." Silas looked up to the red and blue Autobot leader as he gritted his dentals behind his mask.

"Too bad we don't share the same opinion." Ratchet retorted as he gave Silas a glare.

"Surrender now, Silas, and perhaps we might go easy on you." Agent Fowler demanded him but Silas just sent him a sinister smile.

"I don't think you're in any position to make demands, Agent Fowler." Silas said as this made the two Autobots and Agent Fowler tense up.

Meanwhile Emily, Cliffjumper and Smokescreen were checking everywhere to see if they found anything unusual but so far nothing.

"Look at all this damage. It's incredible." Smokescreen said as he spotted a chewed up barrel with holes in it.

"I'm not sure I wanna meet the person or thing who did this." Cliffjumper said as he picked up a car that looked chewed up before he put it back down.

"Whatever it was, I'm sure we can handle it." She told them as she was curious and nervous but she kept her cool since she was surprised just how much damage can something do to the whole place.

They then stopped when they heard a clinking noise as it was coming from everywhere around them and it made Emily curious.

"What's that sound?" Emily asked curiously as she and the two mech looked around to pinpoint the source.

The clinking sound continued as they were confused on where it was coming from.

"It's coming from here." Smokescreen pointed to their left with a bunch of crates with guns in it but the clinking sound continued.

"No here." Cliffjumper said as he pushed two trucks away but it wasn't there.

Emily stayed quiet as she moved her eyes around while listening closely and was able to pinpoint where the noise was coming from as it was by some metal bars that looked like it was unharmed minus a few small holes against it.

"I think it's just in front of us. Let me check." Emily said as she went to the metal bars.

Emily went to check what was making the strange clinking noise and when she saw what it was, she was kind of surprised and she almost squealed at how it looked. She saw a tiny little white robot with little legs and cute blue eyes who looked up at Emily with curiosity in their optics.

"What the?" Emily muttered curiously as the little robot continued to stare at her curiously.

She tilted her head to the side and the little thing did the same and she couldn't help but admit that it was a cute sight. She gets down on one knee for a closer look as it watches her curiously.

"Hey, little guy. Where did you come from?" She asked the little robot softly as it approached her slowly but cautiously.

"I've never seen anything like you before. You're kind of cute." Emily said as she lowered her right arm as the light robot started walking towards her shoulder.

"Wow you're fast. And you have cute eyes too." Emily commented as she saw how fast it went up her arm to rest on her shoulder.

They look at each other in the optics as if they could understand each other before Smokescreen called her since she has been quiet for a few minutes.

"Hey, Emily? Did you find anything?" Smokescreen asked her as he was confused with Cliffjumper since they heard her talking to someone but they weren't able to hear what it was she was saying.

"You might say that." She told them as she rubbed the little thing under its chin as it made a purring motion with it's small engine.

She then turns around and when Smokescreen and Cliffjumper see the little creature on Emily's shoulder they both start getting scared since they knew what it was. If Emily found one of those little things, that means the others are somewhere in the place as well.

"Uh oh." Cliffjumper said as he started to feel like screaming.

"We're so in the scrapheap." Smokescreen felt like screaming as well as they continued to watch Emily scratch the thing under its chin.

"Check this little guy out. He's so cute." Emily said as she smiled at the little creature as she stopped rubbing its chin as it looked at her.

The little creature then looks at the two Autobots with curious optics and blinks at them but Emily didn't expect what happened next and the two mechs both start running while screaming.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Both Smokescreen and Cliffjumper screamed so loud that it caused Emily to jump as the little creature made a surprise sound before hiding behind her neck from fright.

The echoes of their screams were heard around the place as the others all stopped what they were doing and asked themselves what was that and from the sound of it. It sounded like trouble.

"What's that?" Arcee asked as she and Jack quickly went to follow where the screams were coming from.

On Bee and Raf's side, they both jump when they hear the screams and look at each other. That didn't sound good.

"Did you hear that?" Raf asked curiously Bumblebee beeps before they quickly ran to where the scream came from.

Meanwhile on Miko and Bulkhead's side, the two froze in their spots as they heard the screams and it wasn't Bulkhead this time.

"Sounded like someone screamed." Miko looked up to Bulkhead who shrugged.

"Yeah but it wasn't me." Bulkhead said as they both started to go where it came from.

All the separated groups went to where they heard the scream as they were wondering who made that. It can't possibly be Optimus, Ratchet and Agent Fowler so it could be the last team.

Meanwhile the group of MECH that held Optimus, Agent Fowler and Ratchet at gunpoint when they all heard the scream and became confused at who it was but Silas just smiled knowingly as he looked at Optimus Prime.

"Well what do you know? I see you've brought your troops with you, Optimus Prime." Optimus glared at him since Silas and MECH were Decepticons in human skin but way worse.

"An Autobot is never alone, Silas." Optimus growled at him.

"Looks like the tables have turned, Si." Agent Fowler told him but Silas just rolled his eyes.

"It takes more than that to get the best of MECH." Silas said as they all went in the same direction where the scream originated from.

They noticed it was coming from an empty room which was huge and both Smokescreen and Cliffjumper came running in like crazy while screaming. They both stop when they see Optimus and the others but Optimus became alarmed when he saw that Emily wasn't with them.

"You guys, we better not stay here. We're in big trouble." Cliffjumper said in panic but noticed that MECH started aiming at them all. Both Smokescreen and Cliffjumper got their weapons out.

"Right you are, Autobot. Now don't move." Silas smiled before another voice was heard.

"Funny." Arcee said as she along with Jack, Miko, Raf, Bumblebee and Bulkhead come in to save the others as they have their weapons at the ready.

"I was about to tell you the same thing." Arcee glared at Silas and MECH as she and the others stood with their teammates.

"Put your guns down and nobody gets hurt." Bulkhead said as he had his mace ready.

"Yeah." Miko glared at them heatedly.

"Don't you dare touch our friends" Raf stood in front of Bumblebee protectively.

"Now, now, kids, no need to play rough. We wouldn't want you to get hurt now, would we?" Silas was a little surprised since he never knew a kid could be so protective over something.

"Back off, Silas. You will not touch a hair out of these kids." Agent Fowler glared at him as Silas glared back.

"Collateral damage is inevitable, Agent Fowler. A man like you understands the demands of war." Silas glared back as Bulkhead was really getting angry and close to pounding Silas to the ground.

"Back off, fleshy. Don't you dare touch them." Bulkhead growled as he took a step forward.

"Optimus, we must get out of here. There's something here, something dangerous..." Smokescreen told him as Optimus glanced at him and wondered what it was that got both Smokescreen and Cliffjumper so panicked.

"Hey, guys!" Emily called out once she saw that the others were all back before she panted lightly from the running she did when she chased after both Smokescreen and Cliffjumper.

"Emily, this is not the time for... AHHHHH!!!!!" Ratchet turned to her to scold her sternly but let out a scream.

Ratchet saw Emily with the creature on her shoulder as it looked at them curiously. Everyone screams except Optimus while pointing their guns at her as she puts her hands up as she was surprised by their reaction.

"Calm down, guys. I just wanted to show you what I've found." Emily said as the little creature crawled into her hands as she walked to the others but stopped a few feet from them.

"Emily,... drop it now.... and step back. That thing's dangerous. It's a Scraplet." Ratchet told her slowly as he was eyeing the little robot in her hands but was confused by the coloring and the optics were blue but it didn't make a move to attack them.

The word made both Agent Fowler and Emily confused as they looked at them as well as MECH since they had never heard of it before.

"What's a Scraplet?" They both asked and got instant answers.

"It's tiny." Smokescreen stated.

"Dangerous." Cliffjumper added.

"Vermin. I mean you saw the damage out there didn't you?" Bulkhead finished as Emily was confused. One Scraplet did all the damage they saw?

"Hold on a minute. You mean to tell me that this tiny thing did all this? I mean come on this thing couldn't even hurt a fly." Agent Fowler said as he couldn't help but see the little white robot cute.

"How can you be scared of a tiny thing like this guy? He's so cute." Emily said as the little white scraplet just stared at the Autobots curiously.

"He's cute now but you won't find him cute when he starts eating your friends." Silas said as he glared at the little white scraplet in Emily's hands as she became confused.

"Wait, what do you mean with that?" She raised an eyebrow as she noticed that the scraplet in her hands fell asleep but it started to wake up.

The white Scraplet then opens eyes before it sees a tiny bolt in the floor. He became excited as he jumped down from her hands and went to it to eat it.

"Whoa, wait!" Emily tried to stop him but stopped when she saw how he ate the bolt as she blinked in surprise. Now it made sense that her Autobot friends were freaking out about the little guy.

"Oh, I see now. But I mean, come on, it's just one, it's not like there are others. Right? Right?" She laughed nervously while the white Scraplet went to her again and jumped into her hands as it was starting to like Emily.

They all froze, mainly the Autobots when they heard a lot of drilling metals of the Scraplets sharp dentas coming towards them at full speed as it was an all-you-can-eat-buffet for them.

"Oh no. Here they come!" Bulkhead exclaimed as he pointed to the horde of Scraplets all came to their view as the Scraplets started attacking the Autobots and eating away at their metal.

They all try to fight off the Scraplets who were all starting to eat them from up and down. Emily watches in horror how her friends are being attacked without being able to get rid of them. She let go of the white Scraplet who got attached to her as it watched her in confusion from its place on the ground. She then summons her Sword of Destruction as it materializes in her hands to destroy as many as she can but there's just too many of the Scraplets.

"Autobots, retreat! Retreat now!" Optimus ordered them as they all started to run to get away from the infestation.

"Everybody, run now!" Silas yelled as he took out one of his bombs and activated it.

Silas then throws a smoke bomb to create a diversion to escape with the rest and the Scraplets were all confused and disappointed to see that their meal had disappeared as the Bots and the humans have all successfully escaped the horde for now.

The Scraplets were able to enjoy some metal spoils as their white companion wanted to join them but they didn't let him as they didn't let him join them and didn't accept him back in the colony, making the white one sad and upset.

Meanwhile the Autobots along with their human charges, MECH and Silas were able to escape but the Autobots were all full of bite marks and Emily had to wince as she saw how the scraplets put damage to her friends and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Whoa. I did not see that coming." Emily said as she sat down by Optimus pede as they all caught their breath.

"Now you see. These things are dangerous." Jack said as he couldn't help but think about why the little white scraplet was white with blue optics but was even more confused why it didn't attack the bots like the others.

"Yeah. You guys okay?" She looked up to the Autobots in concern as she saw the damages that were inflicted on them by the Scraplets.

"Well we can still walk. Barely." Arcee winced slightly but noticed the damage on her comrades.

"We got lucky to get out of this one." Bulkhead said but he knew it wasn't over yet.

"They'll be back for more. They won't stop until they eat us and everything around here." Cliffjumper growled as he was really mad at the scraplets that were gonna look for them to finish their meal.

"I can't believe these tiny bugs like bots could do such damage." Agent Fowler stated in shock as he was taken back at how much damage those little beings can cause.

"Me neither. Last time I met one, it ate Bumblebee's leg." Raf said as he looked at Bumblebee who had bite marks all over his armor as he beeps from the slight sting of pain.

"The Scraplets are a dangerous vermin from Cybertron. They love eating anything that's made of metal. Including living metal." Ratchet explained to them as Emily had to stop herself from shuddering at the thought.

"So they all came from that box thing we found in the Arctic?" Smokescreen stated as Optimus nodded to confirm it. They should have been more careful and now they're in trouble since the Scraplets are on the hunt for them.

"I'm afraid so." Optimus winced slightly at the bite marks on his arm as Emily looked up to him worriedly.

"And I believe we know who's to blame for that." Agent Fowler said as they all looked to MECH as Silas knew he and his team were to blame.

"Yes indeed. We might've opened the box. But this wouldn't have happened if you had better security, Agent Fowler." Silas said as this made Agent Fowler mad as he got up.

"I'll show you better security." Agent Fowler was about to inflict some injuries on the MECH leader but Optimus stopped him before he did.

"Agent Fowler. This might not be the best moment to fight against our enemy. Perhaps a temporary truce might provide us with a solution." This made everyone look at him in shock. He can't be serious can he?

"Whoa, Optimus, you're not being serious are you?" Jack asked as he saw the look on Optimus and it was the same look Emily had when she made up her mind to come along on a mission.

"Have you forgotten what they did last time?" Miko reminded him as Emily listened and was confused about what she meant by it.

"While MECH has been our enemy on many occasions. Right now, we must stand together if we are to survive." Optimus told them as they saw his point.

"Glad to see we can agree on something." Silas was a little surprised by what Optimus said.

"Optimus, you know that if we trust Silas, he will certainly betray us." Arcee tried to make him change his mind but there was nothing they could do.

"Yeah, that proves to us that this guy won't strike us in the back." Miko sent Silas a glare who was a little impressed by how a girl hates someone deeply.

"Only the fact that we must get out of here before these things lock us up for good. We should get going and find a way to restore the energy." Silas said as he knew that they had to do something.

"With all our leaks, there's no way we can move." Arcee said as she had her arms cross.

"You'll have to do it on your own." Ratchet said since he didn't want to deal with the Scraplets anytime soon again.

"Then let's split up. Raf and I will stay here in case the Scraplets come back." Jack said as Raf went to Emily.

"Take my laptop. It might come in handy." He gave Emily his laptop which was in his bag.

"Thanks, Raf." She ruffled his hair as he laughed before she put the back on.

"Well I'm staying. No way I'm leaving Bulkhead. Besides, I don't trust these thugs." Miko told them stubbornly and the Autobots and their friends had to agree with her.

"I don't trust them either. But we must work together if we want to get out of this." Agent Fowler said as Ratchet gave both Emily and Jack a comm-link earpiece.

"That is if you're able to keep up." Silas taunted him as Agent Fowler rolled his eyes at him.

"You'd better not push me." Agent Fowler glared at him as he got in his face with a glare but Emily pushed them apart and gave them a stern look but a small glare was sent to Silas.

"Calm down, Agent Fowler. Look if you want us to trust you, you better do as we say. As of now, I want you to let go of your weapons." Emily said as she glared at a MECH soldier who aimed a gun her way.

"Our weapons might provide us the firepower we need to repel these things." Silas said as he was a little annoyed by how a 18 year old stood up against him.

"I'm afraid not. The Scraplets will eat anything made of metal." Ratchet said as Emily looked up to him. If the Scraplets eat anything that was metal, there must be some kind of weakness to them.

"So how do we stop them?" She asked as Jack came up and she saw that he knew something.

"With cold. Scraplets are vulnerable to cold. If we can use something to freeze them up, we might have a chance against them." Jack said and Emily nodded. They found the box in the Arctic and it seemed to have kept the Scraplets asleep before they were brought to the base.

"Yes, that might work. But I don't think this place has any cryogenic weapon whatsoever that we can use." Agent Fowler thought about what he said before looking up.

"Maybe there is. This facility has a lab full of cryogenic weapons. Maybe we can use them to turn them into metal popsicles. That is if Silas here is willing to let go of his weapons." He glanced at Silas who glared at him.

"Very well then. Gentlemen, drop your weapons." Silas ordered his men as all the MECH soldiers dropped their weapons and Fowler had to stop himself from smirking.

"Happy now?" Silas crossed his arms as Fowler nodded.

"Let's just go." Agent Fowler rolled his eyes.

"I'm staying here." Miko said but Bulkhead shook his head.

"Miko, you must go." Bulkhead said as she looked up to him.

"Bulkhead, you know I won't leave you like this." Miko told him as Bulkhead had to smile down to reassure her.

"I know but you have to. Everything will be alright. Go." Bulkhead said as Miko was reluctant but Jack came up to her.

"Don't worry, Miko. Raf and I will make sure nothing bad happens to them." Jack reassured her as she sighed and nodded.

"You better." She said as Jack nodded.

"Be careful, guys. Who knows what these things can do." Emily said as she looked at them worriedly.

"It's okay. Since we're not made of metal. They won't harm us." Raf said as she smiled at him.

"Call us if you need help." She told Jack as she pointed to the earpiece that Ratchet gave them both as he nodded.

"We have to go. Come on." Agent Fowler said as they nodded.

"See you later, guys." She gave them a last look before she and Miko left with MECH and Fowler as the Autobots, Jack and Raf watched them leave.

Meanwhile the Decepticons were on their way to the base to try to retrieve the box but along the way, Starscream was complaining along the way and it was getting annoying.

"Ah, this is too long. Are we there yet, Knock Out?" Starscream asked for the 15th time.

Both Knock Out and Breakdown were driving down the highway to the base and with a weapon inside safely in Knock Out's back seat.

"Not yet, Starscream. Perhaps we might've been there already if you stopped complaining." Knock Out would have rolled his optics if he was still in his robot form.

"Maybe if you had chosen a jet instead of an automobile as a vehicle mode, we might be there already." Starscream pointed out the fact as Knock Out groaned as he used his side mirror to look at Breakdown.

"What did I do to deserve this?" Knock Out asked him as Breakdown would have shrugged in his robot form.

"Don't ask me." Breakdown said.

"Yeah. Because we all know you're not the brightest mind around here." Airachnid taunted him in her helicopter form as this caused Breakdown to growl at her.

"Enough, this is not the time for you childish bickering. Lord Megatron is counting on us to carry this mission. So we all need to focus if we are to complete this mission." Dreadwing told them sternly as he reminded them of what they needed to do.

"In my opinion I think that we would have been there quickly if it wasn't because of the slowpokes." Starscream said but stopped since he sensed that Dreadwing was giving him a death glare.

"Starscream. I don't need to remind you that Lord Megatron put me in charge of this mission. And as leader of this mission, I will not tolerate your complaints. Am I understood?" He told him sternly and Starscream would have crossed his arms but he agreed.

"Yes, Dreadwing." Starscream said.

The Decepticons continued their route toward the base to get the box.

Meanwhile Emily along with Miko, Agent Fowler and MECH were all trying to reach the lab with the cryogenic weapons while keeping an eye out for the Scraplets.

"To think that the Bots were scared of these tiny things." Emily started a conversation as she remembered how freaked out the Autobots were when they saw the Scraplets, especially the white one that she grew fond of quickly.

"I guess it's normal when you're being attacked by a whole bunch of metal eating vermin." Miko snickered as Emily shook her head at her in amusement.

"Shh, quiet. We don't want them finding out where we are." Agent Fowler shushed the two as Miko rolled her eyes at him.

"There's no need to worry, Agent Fowler. They only eat things made out of metal. So they won't hurt us." Miko said as she reminded him that the Scraplets went for their Autobot friends, not them.

"I hope your troops are more disciplined than this young girl." Silas pointed to Miko who stuck her tongue out at him as Emily nudged her to stop.

"Aren't you a fine one to talk to, Silas? You and your little group could use some discipline." Agent Fowler said as he sent a small glare his way.

"Trust me, Agent Fowler, I think I know far more about discipline than you do." Silas said as Agent Fowler rolled his eyes at him.

"I find that hard to believe coming from someone like you." Agent Fowler said as they turned another corner.

"You speak as we are different but deep down we might be just the same." Silas said as Agent Fowler had to shake his head at him

"You and I are not the same. I'm loyal to my country." Agent Fowler told him. He was not like Silas in any way.

"Indeed you are but the real question here is if your so-called country is loyal to you." Silas said and Emily spoke up since she was getting fed up with them arguing.

"As if a guy like you knows anything about loyalty." Emily said as Silas almost had to take a step back when he sensed the threat in her words.

"You should know, young lady, that sometimes when you're loyal to a cause. Sooner or later this loyalty of yours will blind you to the real truth." Emily sent him a small glare.

"And what truth is that?" She asked him but she really didn't want to know.

"Is that the cause will always betray you." She had to stop herself from scoffing out a laugh.

"Based on what I was told. You and your tech gang are always trying to steal every new technology to try and create weapons. The only cause you serve right now is your own." Emily sent him a look as Silas was a little speechless. How did she know that?!

"To teach his own. After all, this is a free country." Silas said before Miko groaned since she felt like they had been walking forever.

"Are we there yet?" Miko groaned as Emily and Agent Fowler had to chuckle at her antics.

"The lab is just there." They turned another corner and came upon a door but it needed a code to open.

He put his ID code on the keypad but it didn't work as he looked at them.

"Didn't work. Without power, we can't get inside and get what we need." Agent Fowler said before Emily stepped up to the door.

"Allow me." She said as he looked at her in confusion but nodded and took a step back.

Emily points her arms at the doors before they morph into her plasma cannons much to the shock and confusion of MECH and Agent Fowler as she shoots a plasma shot to get the door open and is able to bust it open.

"Impressive. I've never seen such an advanced weapon." Silas got over his shock as he took notes of how powerful her cannons were and was thinking of ways to use them but stopped when Emily, Miko and Agent Fowler were giving him a suspicious look.

"And you never will." She huffed at him and turned away as they entered the lab.

"This is it. All the gear we need to freeze these things." Agent Fowler said as they went to where the weapons were, but Miko stopped when she sensed something above them and happened to look up and her eyes widened at the sight.

"Uh, guys?" She called as they looked up and were shocked to see the Scraplets above them.

The Scraplets look around before they look at the cryogenic weapons and see that they were made of metal before opening their mouths as they rush in to eat it all.

"Incoming!" Agent Fowler shouted before Emily shot down a couple of Scraplets that almost got to the weapons before looking at them.

"I'll hold them off! You guys get the gear!" Emily told them as she turned back to where the Scraplets were and aimed her cannons at them.

Emily starts shooting while the others try to grab the cryogenic weapons as Miko looks at Fowler.

"Are we sure these things will work?" She asked as he and the others grabbed the cryogenic guns.

"Unless you got a better idea. We'll have to try." Agent Fowler said as Silas watched Emily fight off the Scraplets.

"For once I agree." Silas said as he grabbed some ammo for the guns.

"Hurry, there's too many of them!" Emily yelled at them as she continued to shoot down some Scraplets.

The Scraplets were able to get through Emily's shooting as they started eating the cryogenic container that contains the ice to freeze and Fowler knew that it would explode.

"Let's get out of here!" Agent Fowler exclaimed once he was sure they got all the weapons.

Everyone starts running but Silas accidentally trips on a bottle as Emily goes back to save him as she shoots down some Scraplets that were heading toward him.

"Look out!" She yelled as she grabbed him and helped him up as they followed the others.

When the Scraplets made a hole in the containers, it blew up creating a cryogenic explosion that froze them and Miko grins.

"Sweet, it worked!" Miko said as they continued to run to get with the others.

"Yes, unfortunately this was nothing but a small group. There's still more out there." Agent Fowler said since he noticed that the Scraplets that attacked them were like scouts.

"Let's go before they find the others. And no need to thank me, Silas." She told the MECH leader when she noticed that he was gonna say something.

"I wasn't planning to." Silas said as they continued to run.

Meanwhile Jack and Raf were both keeping an eye out for the Scraplets to protect the Autobots as Jack was worried that something happened to the others since they heard a sound of an explosion and shooting from somewhere.

"I hope the others are fine. I'm starting to get worried." Jack said as he looked up to the entrance and hoped that the others would hurry and get back.

"Me too." Raf agreed.

"We can't stay here for long. Sooner or later the Scraplets will find us." Ratchet said as he leaned against the wall to stand up.

"We could try to get out of here." Bulkhead suggested but Arcee gave him a deadpanned look.

"So that the Scraplets could eat us whole?" Arcee deadpanned as he laughed nervously while Cliffjumper shook his head.

"Sounds like a fair fight." Cliffjumper said as he knew that he didn't want to be Scraplet food.

"I've never thought this could happen." Smokescreen groans as his injuries hurt.

"We might not be able to repel them but we must not give up." Optimus told them but he was worried about what happened to Emily and the others since he heard the sounds of shooting and explosion.

They all tensed up when they heard a clinking sound that was coming towards them.

"Shh. Did you hear that?" Jack asked and Raf nodded as he went wide eyed.

"Yeah. I think it's them." Raf said nervously as he readied his makeshift weapon.

"I really hate this." Bulkhead groans as he wasn't looking forward to seeing the Scraplets as Bumblebee beeped in agreement.

"J-Jack?" Rad said as he pointed a finger to the direction of the sounds as Jack saw that the Scraplets were coming in hot.

"Look out!" Jack yelled as the Scraplets came in and started to attack the Autobots as they let out sounds of pain from the damage.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! GET THEM OFF!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Bulkhead screamed like a girl as he tried to get the Scraplets off him as the others were doing the same.

Jack and Raf help the Autobots get rid of the Scraplets but there were just too many as they just can't seem to get rid of them all and knew that they needed help and fast.

"It's no use! We need help!" Rad exclaimed as he tried to get rid of the Scraplets attacking Bumblebee before Jack turned on his commlink to call for help.

"Emily, Miko! Scraplets are attacking! We need help!" Jack shouted as he swatted some Scraplets from Bulkhead and Arcee.

On the other group's side, Emily heard Jack calling them and her heart was beating faster than before.

"Scraplets are here! We can't hold them off! We need help!" Emily gritted her teeth as she shouted to the others to go faster.

"Let's go!" She shouted as they all started to run faster to reach the others in time to help them.

Jack and Raf were trying to destroy as many Scraplets as they could but they're still too many. Suddenly the other group arrives and starts shooting cryogenic shots to freeze the Scraplets. They successfully freeze them all as they all panted as Emily quickly went to check the others.

"Serves them right." Agent Fowler pants lightly.

"Yes. Now that our truce has served his purpose." Silas smirked as the kids and Fowler were confused but had a bad feeling about that smirk.

The MECH soldiers then start shooting ice at the Autobots to weaken them further as they grunt or shout in pain as their core systems blinked to blue.

"What in the name of Sam' Hill?" Agent Fowler was surprised as the kids went to the check on their guardians as Emily glared at Silas with deep hate.

"You shouldn't be surprised, Agent Fowler. MECH is determined to get what it wants. I must say that I'm quite impressed from what I've seen here today. To think that some tiny beings such as these could cause a lot of damage. An army of those would be unstoppable. When I realized that the frozen temperature would weaken them, I developed a theory in which I suspected that the same thing could happen to the Autobots. And I was right." Silas explained as Agent Fowler glared at him but not as heated as Emily's glare.

"Silas, you traitor!" Agent Fowler exclaimed.

When Agent Fowler was about to attack Silas, he got knocked down and was held by two of MECH soldiers

"Let him go!" Miko yelled as she pointed her cryogenic gun at him.

"Lower your weapons. Now." Silas ordered as Raf hid behind Jack as Miko, Jack and Emily glared at Silas.

"What if we refuse?" Emily asked as she tried to keep a growl from escaping.

"Then I'm afraid you'll have to see your friends suffer a horrible death." Silas smirked as he knew that the kids and Fowler care for the Autobots.

Emily looked at them and saw that the Bots were weakened from the Scraplet attack and the cryogenic gun before she came to a decision as she glared at Silas as she dropped her weapon.

"Guys, drop your weapons. There's nothing we can do." Jack and Miko look at her as she nodded for them before they did so as well.

"Good, now I think it's time for you to leave." Silas smirked triumphantly as Arcee glared at him as she was still weak from the assault.

"Don't... touch them..." She glared at him heatedly but he dismissed her glare.

"Like I said before. Collateral damage is inevitable and I'm afraid MECH can't let any witness go." Silas told the femme robot as MECH pointed their weapons at them but Emily stood in front of her friends as Agent Fowler was being held hostage by MECH.

"Sorry to break it to you, Silas. But me and my friends are getting out of here." She told him calmly as Silas looked at her in confusion.

"And how exactly do you plan to do that?" He asked as she just grinned at him as she fished something out of her pocket.

"Easy with this." She said as she sent a look to Agent Fowler as if silently saying that they'll come back for him before throwing something against the ground as it exploded into smoke.

Once the smoke cleared, they saw that the kids were gone as the bots were glad to know that the kids will be safe, for now.

"How did she-?" Silas was shocked before he realized that Emily must've grabbed one of his smoke bombs when she saved him earlier.

"Smart little girl. Find them." Silas growled before ordering his men.

The MECH soldiers all nodded before they start looking for the kids to capture them before they can even escape as Silas turns to Fowler who glared at him as the Autobots prayed to Primus to protect their human friends.
