{11} - Breakdown's wrath

                                    

                                          
"Dad.. please hurry... I'm scared!" Cascade whimpered, looking up at Breakdown on the screen . 
                          
"I know you're scared, bud. Remember what I told you." Breakdown mumbled, his fingers flying across the keyboard. Soon enough, he had pinpointed to source of the signal. "Alright, we'll be coming through a groundbridge any minute now. Just hold on." 
                          
"Okay.." Cascade murmured, backing up from the computer for a moment. 
                          
"What?! How did you activate the computer?!" A surprised voice shouted and Cascade felt a strong hand wrap around him, lifting him into the air. 
                          
"No! Let me go! Dad! Sire! Help me!" Cascade shrieked, kicking and struggling in Optimus's grip. 
                          
"Cas!" Breakdown said, growling when he saw Optimus holding his sparkling tightly. "I'm coming for you, Prime!" He snarled, ending the call and quickly going to meet up with Knockout. 
                          
Knockout was waiting with an open groundbridge portal, ushering Breakdown through before following close behind. 

                          
-Just outside the Autobot base- 

                          
Breakdown stepped through the groundbridge, growling lowly as he gazed up at the large Mesa rock that stood before him. "The Autobots are clever, but not clever enough for us." He chuckled, glancing at Knockout. "Megatron will be pleased that we found the Autobot base." 
                          
"Yes. Now let's go get Cascade back." Knockout said, unlatching his electric staff from his back and twirling it. 
                          
The duo walked up to where the entrance to the Autobot base would be, triggering the door's sensors. The massive door slid open, dust falling down as it did so. 
                          
Breakdown changed his right hand into a hammer, a glint of vengeance in his optic as he stormed into the Autobot base. He soon arrived in the main room, where Optimus and a few other Autobots were standing. He snarled, widening his stance. "Give us our sparkling back!" 
                          
Bulkhead and Arcee stood in front of Optimus protectively, weapons aimed at the navy blue bruiser and scarlet red medic. 
                          
"We won't hesitate to use force. Even better, we can call Megatron here to wipe you petty Autobots off the face of this planet." Knockout growled, his electric staff crackling with electricity. 
                          
Cascade whined loudly, still kicking at Optimus's arm. He finally broke free, falling to the ground and landing heavily on his pedes. He sprinted towards his parents, dodging the grabbing hands of the Autobots. 
                          
Knockout scooped Cascade up into his arms, keeping him close to his chassis as he glared at the Autobots. 
                          
"Alright. You have your sparkling back. Now leave." Bulkhead huffed, still aiming his blaster at Breakdown. 
                          
Breakdown growled, glancing at Knockout. They had what they came for, though he desperately wanted to crush some metal. He sighed, shooting Bulkhead a glare. "Next time, I'll crush you all into scrap metal." He spat, transforming his hammer back into a hand and turning on his heel. "Come on, Knockout." 
                          
Knockout put his electric staff away, giving the Autobots one last glare before leaving with Breakdown. They walked out of the base and back through the groundbridge portal, appearing safely back in the Nemesis.
