Acidstorm was currently busy polishing his armour as he remembered the mission with Rumble and Frenzy. Primus how those two annoyed him so much, especially Rumble. He saw Phantom who was a white and black seeker. He had a tendency to get overexcited and was clingy at times but he was known for his stealth in missions. Phantom came forward holding a datapad in his hand.
"What do you want this time, Phantom?" Acidstorm said with slight annoyance in his voice before Phantom spoke up "Well I heard Skywarp found something about the electrical box finally and why it's been causing power outages." Acidstorm perked up looking interested as Thrust came in unamused and said "Also I heard Jetblast got himself stuck again." As nobody expected Thrust to be around and they instantly turned around seeing him.
"Jetblast got stuck again? Typical of him. Shall we get going?" Acidstorm said bluntly before both of them nodded and went to the electrical room to figure out what exactly happened with the electrical box. Soon they entered as they opened the metallic door and saw the main power room. It was dark before Phantom flipped the switch, turning on the lights.
The electric room looked like an regular one, there was switches on the boxes and some wires that fell onto the floor. The area was dark with the smell being heavy and musty, there was electrical boxes at the back that still needed to be fixed and some were particularly rusty. There was a couple of small energon spills that were on the floor and some sparks coming out of the broken wires. Phantom opened up the main electrical box as Acidstorm and Thrust was surprised to see what was inside.
There was a few slashes inside of the main box and this time the wires looked intentionally snapped. Acidstorm noticed how damaged everything was inside. There looked to be knife slashes inside of there and some of the buttons had cracks. The three of them looked with confusion as Thrust spoke up with his voice filled with annoyance as usual "Well that's really surprising. Why was it in this condition?". As they both shrugged until Gunwing came inside.
"Oh hey- what's going on here?" Gunwing voice cut through the tense silence and asked in confusion before they turned to him. Phantom spoke up as he soon replied to Gunwing "Well Skywarp finally found the issue with the main power. Have you talked to Thundercracker?" Gunwing nodded as the four seekers began discussing on what happened with the each of them. Thrust soon crossed his arms as he asked the rest of them "Well where's Redwing and Sunstorm?" The three of them shrugged before Gunwing said "Well I saw them recently today, they were still a bit surprised about the power cutout that happened last month but overall they are doing fine."
Acidstorm soon replied with his own question "What about my rainmaker teammate, Ionstorm? I'm not sure about him but I saw him recently around this week." Phantom soon spoke up "Actually I was speaking to him today. He heard that the storage room had to be out of commission due to massive internal damage to the engines." As Acidstorm rolled his optics "Of course, that moron never listens to me and goes off."
Gunwing spoke up as he held his hand behind his head "Isn't that a bit too harsh?" As Thrust spoke with his usual aggression "It's Ionstorm that we are talking about here. Always running off and somehow finds new gossip." They heard a noise as they turned around and surprisingly Sunstorm came inside of the room as they turned to look in confusion at him. "Sunstorm? What are you doing here?" Acidstorm was curious about his own member.
"Well I heard a commotion around here and I was curious on what is going on." Sunstorm asked before Gunwing said to him "Well we found out why the power is having malfunction. We found out a malfunctioned power box thanks to Skywarp." Sunstorm soon began analysing the box as he opened it seeing the destroyed internals. Sunstorm winced seeing all of the destroyed mechanisms and slashes inside of the box before turning to look at the others again. "I guess we have to go look for Shockwave." They nodded as they closed the box again and went outside of the electrical room to find where Shockwave was currently.
They came across a couple of rooms which were empty before they saw a lab nearby and decided to go inside. Luckily for them, Shockwave was there as he was sitting down at his desk and was busy arranging an complex plan for them to defeat the Autobots. He looked at them gesturing for them to come in as they closed the door. Shockwave had been up for a couple of days and despite his calm and calculated nature, Shockwave looked unusually more weary than he should be. He soon asked with curiousity in his calm voice "You all need something?" as they nodded at him.
"Yes. we found out what is causing the power outages thanks to Skywarp." Gunwing said calmly with his velvet voice cutting through the tense atmosphere before giving the power box to Shockwave who opened it and saw what happened to it. He soon pulled out the mechanisms as the wires looked to be forcefully pulled open. Shockwave soon said "This is intentional, no accident can cause something as severe as this." Shockwave soon looked up at them again and intertwined his fingers "I will see who did this. Now you all get going, I will figure this out." They nodded before they decided to leave as Shockwave went back to doing plans as he looked at the bright light bulbs on the ceiling and the soft sound of buzzing. At the back of Shockwave, there was a conspiracy board behind him that used real evidence on where Megatron went as Shockwave turned to his board and began rearranging the pins.
