Tidal Collapse [TFP x Reader] [TFP Story]

Chapter 14

Agent Fowler was about to speak until Rykerdraft spoke up by holding her hands up.

"Ok. So I know we may have figured out why Ratchet was taken, but I feel like were all missing one thing." Everyone turned to her with a questionable look.

"What?" She looked at Smokescreen with a "really" look.

"If Lazerbeak found Soundwave here, doesn't that mean that they have located this base?" After hearing that, fear began to surface in everyone's body.

"That's what I was getting ready to say. Thank you Ryker." Rykerdraft looked at Agent Fowler with a look.

"I wouldn't call her that." Wheeljack said as he was still looking at the computer with the Synthetic formula on it.

"Noted."

~Time Skip (Sorry)~

All the Autobot's were watching the scanners for any movement toward their base but nothing so far. 

"All aerial surge patters are coming up empty." Arcee walked forward, along with Rykerdraft.

"No commlink chatter either." Wheeljack then spoke. "And no ground activity. It's a little to quiet out there."

Optimus walked up to the group as they all were now looking at the screen.

"Since the Decepticons no longer seek Predacon bones or Earth technology, there is no activity to track." Bulkhead looked up at his leader.

"So until Megatron makes a move, we're in a holding pattern." Ultra Magnus lifted his clawed hand up.

"Ratchet didn't think this new hand he built for me was good enough." Rykerdraft grabbed ahold of his clawed hand and held it tightly. "But I'll tell you what truly isn't good enough... Giving up. We have no choice but to play this old school. Split into teams for maximum coverage."

As he finished his mini speech, the proximity alarms began going haywire. There were about 6 Decepticon life signals on the computer.

"We have incoming. A whole fleets worth!" They all had to think of something quick. Everyone got ready for anything. They waited and waited until they heard an explosion right behind them. Everyone walked out and saw that Hanger F was destroyed by the Decepticons while their Hanger E was still standing tall.

"The Mess Hall sure is a mess." Rykerdraft chuckled. Ultra Magnus then spoke.

"It's a good thing that Decepticons can be fooled by a simple paint job." As the army men that were next to the Autobot's base trying to put out the fire, black paint began to disappear showing that this hanger e was actually hanger f.

Once everyone was back inside. Agent Fowler had called in Raf, jack and Miko into the base so they could try and find Ratchet after Raf had discovered that the piece of Lazerbeak that Smokescreen had shot off, was actually Lazerbeak's transponder.

"So the kid clipped the business end of Lazerbeak's transponder." Arcee the complemented Smokescreen.

"You're not such a bad shot after all."

Raf had wires hooked up to the transponder and began typing on his computer to understand what Lazerbeak was trying to say. Agent Fowler walks up to Raf as he's working.

"We thought you might be the best one to provide and analysis, in Ratchet's absence." 

"It's trying to communicate with the warship." Jack and Miko behind him. Miko then questioned on how he knew that it was doing that.
