Bumblebee and Wheeljack immediately shot stun devices at the two Decepticons and they were on the floor writhing in pain from the electricity

Starscream was the first to shoot up his head

"Ah that hurt you little-" Starscream said before he was whacked in the head before he could finish his naughty word.

"Stay down Decepticreep!" Wheeljack barked.

As Bumblebee and Wheeljack kept their blasters trained on their old foes they realized something seemed off, they didn't start fighting at first sight and didn't appear to be resisting now.

"Bee, you got any stasis cuffs?" Wheeljack asked.

"Right here" Bumblebee replied, pulling one pair of stasis cuffs from his sub-space.

Wheeljack slapped each side of the stasis cuffs onto each of the Decepticon's servos as they were now stuck together and unable to transform.

"Enjoying yourself?" Knockout asked with a smirk towards Starscream.

"Shut it." Starscream replied snarling.

Thomas and Minho were the only ones besides the Autobots to remember who these bots were and they were most likely hostile.

"Hey, these were the ones we saw last night." Minho said pointing to both Decepticons.

"Hmm these worms are smarter than they look." Knockout replied.

Minho simply replied by flipping off the bot before Gally cut in.

"Wait, so these are the ones that tried to kill you both? Well obviously they called these two and now they have backup so they're going to kill us!" Gally yelled and then he grabbed a spear and aimed it towards the bots.

Newt quickly grabbed the spear and threw it away from Gally before he could do something he would regret.

Bumblebee then aimed his blaster towards the pair before speaking.

"Alright, speak. How and why are you here?" Bumblebee asked.

"Lord Megatron requested we come here to find you Autobot scum, to see if you had offlined after your crash. But it appears we have the same problems as we have been abandoned in this insect prison." Starscream answered.

"As long as we are all in here, the Autobot and Decepticon war means nothing as we are all trapped in this predicament." Knockout said.

Wheeljack and Bumblebee stood still and looked at each other for a second and thought about what they said and what the look in their optics also said.

Then Wheeljack went behind the pair and removed their stasis cuffs and then Bumblebee and Wheeljack grabbed both of them by their throats.

"Just know, if you bring harm to us. Or any of these lifeforms you see around us, I'll take my only grenade and shove it down your throat before I let Bumblebee scratch Knockout's paint so bad he'll be begging to be put offline." Wheeljack said with a serious tone.

"Low blow" Knockout said with a frown.

Then Knockout and Starscream walked over to a corner of the Glade to conversate amongst themselves.

Thomas looked up at the Autobots with concern. "How do you know they won't kill us?" Thomas asked.

"I think they got the message." Wheeljack replied, looking at the two shaking Decepticons.

Then Thomas looks at the ground for a moment before heading to the Maze, but Minho steps in his way.

"Woah, what are you doing?" Minho asked Thomas.

"I'm going back into the Maze." Thomas replied without a care in the world.

"What is this with you huh?" Minho asked.

"Kid, you must have a deathwish." Wheeljack said, joining the conversation.

"You just got out, and you wanna head back in?" Bumblebee asked.

"Look, Newt said that no ones ever seen Griever and lived to tell about it right. Well, now we have one and you're telling me you're not a little bit curious?" Thomas asked the three.

"Not really no, but what's your plan? You're gonna go out there and dissect that thing?" Minho asked.

"If I have to, have the other runners left yet?" Thomas asked.

''The other runners quit this morning after what happened to Alby and especially because of Heels and Red boy showing up. Why do you wanna get back out there?" Alby asked.

"I think it's time we find out what we're up against." Thomas replied.

"I'll come with you you'll need real protection out there this time." Bumblebee said, stepping up.

"Alright, meet me in the woods in half an hour." Minho said and Thomas nodded before running off.

ONE HOUR LATER

Minho rounded up Frypan, Winston and Zart along with Bumblebee to check out the corpse of the griever to see what they could find out. They ran through the maze before coming upon the corpse of the griever.

"That's disgusting." Zart said with a look of disgust.

"There's something in there." Winston said.

"You mean, besides a griever pancake?" Frypan asked.

Minho walked up to it and touched it.

"Woah, what are you doing?" Thomas asked.

"Hey Bee, think you can get this out?" Minho asked.

Then Bumblebee nodded, but before he could touch it one of it's claws moved, scaring everyone including the bot.

"I thought you said it was dead." Frypan said.

"Was it just a reflex?" Winston asked.

"You wish." Frypan replied.

Bumblebee shook his head before pulling the whole body out as something small and metal fell out.

Minho picked up the organ and pulled out the device.

"What the hell is that?" Thomas asked.

Minho didn't answer, Instead he just showed it to them.

"Okay, can we take this back up to the glade? Cause I don't wanna meet this guys friends." Frypan asked.

Thomas nodded before they ran for home.

AT THE COUNCIL HALL

Newt looks at the device recognizing the letters on it.

"We found It inside a griever. Thomas said.

"These are the same letters we get in our supplies." Newt said.

"Whoever put us here obviously made the grievers and this is the first clue of anything you've found in over three years right Minho?" Thomas asked.

Minho nodded.

"Newt, we gotta go back out there. Who knows where this might lead us." Thomas said, then Gally spoke up.

"You see what he's trying to do right? First he breaks our rules and he tries to convince us to abandon them totally. And he's trying to make us think we should trust a bunch of aliens, the rules are the only things that have kept us together. Why now are we questioning them?" Gally asked.

"This shank needs to be punished." Gally added.

Newt shook his head for a second

"Your right he broke the rules one night in the pit with no food" Newt claimed

"Oh come on Newt only one night in the pit you really think thats going to stop him from going into the Maze again" Gally said

"No and we can't just have Non runners going into the Maze whenever they feel like it so lets make It offical starting tommorow" Newt said
