Kryptobug made his way into the main part of the base from the med bay and Ratchet. Thankfully, Sentinel wasn't there at the moment, but Ultra Magnus was. "Kryptobug, I didn't assign you to this sector" Ultra Magnus stated, a bit stunned to see the triple changer on earth.

"I know, sir, but I felt called to come to this sector after escaping a trap set for me at the last sector coordinates you sent me too" KB replied in all honesty.

"But there were no cons in that sector" Ultra Magnus stated, knowing it for a fact.

"the trap was not set up by a con, sir" KB replied, having seen the bot who set the trap up for the triple changer.

"What Auotbot would set a trap for a fellow Autobot?" Ultra Magnus asked, a bit confused.

KB wanted to answer, but just at the moment, Sentinel returned, along with Optimus and Jazz. KB said nothing, leaving the Magnus to assume KB was lying, KB didn't want to reveal something, or KB didn't remember the name of the bot. KB left, not wanting to say anything at this point, as KB didn't have enough proof yet.

"City Patrol is completed, sir, and soon it will be Bee and Scarscalh's turn to monitor" Jazz stated to Ultra Magnus.

Ultra Magnus nodded. "Fine, you two are cleared from duty for now." Optimus and Jazz nodded, though Optimus was a bit more shocked than Jazz. Carefully, Jazz dragged Optimus away from the others. Jazz was following what his spark wanted and was not going to be denied any further. Optimus, caught a bit off guard, followed, his own spark enjoying this interaction though Optimus was still as reserved as ever.

Once the two were alone and in private, Jazz planted a searing hot kiss on Optimus. Optimus was a bit stiff at first but them melted into the kiss, kissing back with equal passion. Both were going at it and eventually the two bonded their sparks, though neither realized that through this session one of them had ended up sparked with triplets. At this point, neither cared as they were happy to finally be bonded. Now they both understood how the other two bonded couples felt. Optimus smiled, happy to have finally found love after losing Elita-1.

Meanwhile, in another area of the base, Aquaformer was pampering Prowl, even though he felt guilty about it. This day saw his too dizzy to go far from the bed and so Aquaformer did her best to care for the motorcycle bot. "You know you don't have to do all of this" Prowl suddenly stated.

"I know, love, but I choose to do so, as I love you and it is part of who I am to help others" Aquaformer answered in her deep yet feminine voice. Prowl had grown used to the voice so it didn't surprise him anymore.

"Would you please stop and rest with me?" Prowl asked, wanting to be held and to snuggle.

Aquaformer looked at her mate. "Is that what you need at the moment, my love?" Aquaformer asked, wanting to make sure.

"Yes, now in the berth" Prowl answered. Aquaformer did as asked of her, snuggling close to her mate and using her own warmth to warm him up. It felt so good to Prowl that he soon drifted off to sleep. Aquaformer wanted to join him, she really did, but something bothered her – as if some evil presence was nearby and after her mate. She stayed on guard as he slept, unaware that it wouldn't be until Aquaformer was away that something would happen to Prowl.

Meanwhile, Bee and Scarclash took over monitor duty to watch the city. Well, Bee was on monitor duty while Scarclash patrolled the city. She didn't want him leaving the base if she could help it, as much like Aquaformer, Scarclash sensed an evil presence, one that was biding its time and waiting for just the right moment to strike.

Meanwhile, Megatron in his layer, was pissed, as the new bots that had come to earth could expose the tyrant even with the signal blockers. Megatron would have to wait for just the right time, he hated waiting but he knew he just needed a few more things before he could take over Cybertron. And it would start with capturing some key bots. Megatron kept watch, waiting for just the right time to take exactly what he wanted, and only then would he strike. For now, he would keep up his covert surveillance.
