Chapter 10: Rise of the Constructicons, Part 2

"Tell me more about Cybertronian culture." Carly insisted.

Optimus Prime groaned.

"Miss Brooks-"

"Call me Carly."

"Carly, please ask me no more questions. If you want to learn more about Cybertron, there's several libraries worth of information in Teletraan's systems. Wheeljack's installed a translator program to make it easier for you to read-"

Carly turned around and walked away. Once she was gone, Optimus sighed in relief.

"If we had her during the war, she'd have talked the Decepticons to death." he muttered to nobody in particular.

"Now, let us test our new creation in the field!" Megatron cackled.

"Where?" Soundwave asked.

Just then, Lugnut ran in.

"O great and GLORIOUS Megatron, I was looking over some local maps-"

"Get to the point, Lugnut!"

"There's a city about three local hours from here called Portland! From what I have gathered from media transmissions, it is a place of organic debauchery and degeneracy that deserves to be razed and rebuilt as a GLORIOUS base for our faction!"

Megatron paused for a bit.

"Soundwave, we've found a location for the field test!"

AN HOUR LATER:

"Prime, we're picking up something on scanners." a voice announced over the intercom.

"What is it, Hound?"

"'Cons. More specifically, Starscream and Soundwave, plus six new signatures heading south."

Optimus pondered the situation for a moment.

"Send out Bumblebee, Wheeljack, Airrazor, Ratchet, and Jazz. Tell them to follow the Decepticons and to not engage."

"Got it."

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Sorry for the long wait on updating this fic- I've been doing a lot of other ones besides this.
