Description
They saw a strange mech walk into the room. Rodimus thought he was just a new servant but Drift quickly got up while holding onto Rodimus and hid. "Stay here and when I tell you to, I want you to make a run for the doors. Do I make myself clear?" Drift asked. Rodimus was confused.
"Drift who is that?" Rodimus asked.
"That's Lockdown; he is the one that kidnapped your brother, Prowl and Jazz. He must be back for all three and to add you to the list." Drift said while looking over the stack of energon to see if Lockdown was still there, but he wasn't. Drift snarled and gritted his dentas.
"W-what? Why me?" Rodimus asked slight afraid but mainly for his brother.
"Because Megatron has a bounty out for you and your brother; He wants you two to become his pleasure bots." Lockdown said from behind them. Drift quickly got in between Lockdown and Rodimus.
"I will never let you have him." Drift snarled while having both his blades drawn.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Deadlock?" Lockdown asked with an evil smile. Drift didn't answer.
"Rodimus get behind me." Drift ordered.
"Alright, just be careful Drift." Rodimus said while getting behind Drift.
"Drift huh? What a lousy name." Lockdown said. Drift didn't say anything he just moved slightly so Rodimus would have a clear shot at the door.
"Rodimus go now!" Drift yelled as he attacked Lockdown hoping to keep him distracted so he wouldn't get a hold of Rodimus. Drift locked his swords with Lockdown's hook. Rodimus didn't hesitate and booked it to the door only to find that it was locked from the outside and was jammed shut.
Drift looked to see if Rodimus made it out of harm's way but he saw that he was struggling with the door. "It's amazing what you can do with a key you steal off of any guards." Lockdown said as he pushed Drift away and jumped back before launching himself towards Rodimus. He didn't expect to get stabbed in the leg.
Drift then ripped the blade down so it caused a nice deep cut all the way down to Lockdown's foot. "You will not threaten the Prince and my mate to be while I am around." He said. Lockdown held his leg in pain.
"Why you?!" He snarled as he tried to get up but fell to the ground. Drift then sheathed his swords and left to go help Rodimus with the door, which meant he had to kick them down.
"Now Rodimus, go fetch your father. I will stand guard over Lockdown." Drift said then gave Rodimus a kiss.
"Alright be careful my love." Rodimus said then ran to get his father. He ran as fast as he could to the throne room. "FATHER!!!!" Rodimus yelled while slamming the doors open.
"Rodimus what is it?" Ultra Magnus asked while standing up and grabbing his hammer. He knew that Rodimus was not angry with him but it was something more urgent.
"Father, Lockdown,*pant* in ener*pant*gon storage room." Rodimus said while trying to catch his breath. He had sprinted from one side of the castle to the other.
"What?!" Ultra Magnus asked while going to Rodimus. "Optimus I want you and your brother to go find Elita and hide in your room. And don't answer the door until I come for you three." Ultra Magnus said while running towards the energon storage room and gathering guards along the way.
By the time Ultra Magnus and the guards got there, Lockdown was about to attack Drift , but Ultra Magnus reacted before everyone else. He ran up and before Lockdown knew what hit him, he was slammed to the ground by the Magnus hammer. Drift quickly turned to see Lockdown get hit by the Magnus Hammer. He then looked to Ultra Magnus. "Drift are you alright?" Magnus asked.
"Yes I am, sir." Drift said kind of in shock. Then the guards put stasis cuffs on Lockdown.
"Take him and put him in the brig. I will deal with him later. Drift, we must go tend to my sons and daughter-in-law." Ultra Magnus said. The guards nodded and did as they were told. Drift followed Ultra Magnus to Optimus' bedroom.
Ultra Magnus then knocked on the door. "It is safe now you three." Ultra Magnus said. After a few seconds the sounds of the door becoming unlocked came and then the door opened a crack. They could see one glowing blue optic looking at both of them.
Then the door was opened wider and light entered the dark room and revealed that it was Optimus who answered the door with his ax ready. Then Rodimus and Elita came out of their hiding spots. They both then ran over to the door, and Rodimus hugged Ultra Magnus then hugged Drift. "You are both safe." He said.
"Yes we are thanks to your father." Drift said while hugging Rodimus back.
"You both aren't hurt are you?" Elita asked with worry.
"No we are both unharmed, young ones. Now come let's go have some energon, to calm our systems." Ultra Magnus said while leading everyone to the dining hall, where their lunch was waiting for them.
"Father what are you going to do with Lockdown?" Optimus asked.
"I will have to ask Jazz on what kind of punishment." Ultra Magnus said. Optimus nodded but kept quiet.
"Are you alright, Optimus?" Elita asked.
"Yes I am alright. I just don't want you to be harmed again." He said while pulling her close to him. Elita looked up at him and gently placed her hands on his chest.
"They won't. Not as long as I am with you." She said. Optimus gave her a loving smile.
"Come now, let's refuel." Optimus said as he led her to the table and pulled out her chair for her. Elita smiled and sat down. Drift did the same thing but for Rodimus. Rodimus smiled and kissed Drift's cheek before he sat down. Then Drift and Optimus sat down after Ultra Magnus.

Jazz and Prowl came walking into the throne room, to talk to Ultra Magnus. "So ya caught Lockdown?" Jazz asked.
"Yes. I know he is wanted in the Eastern Isles, but it is too risky to move him." Ultra Magnus said.
"Agreed, why not send your top messenger, Blurr, to Yoketron to ask what he wants done exactly with Lockdown? We need to get the information as quickly as possible. It is too dangerous to keep him in one place for too long." Jazz said. Ultra Magnus nodded and then summoned his head of the messengers; Longarm.
"Longarm, I need Blurr." Ultra Magnus said.
"Blurr is already on a mission and won't be back until next week." Longarm said.
"Can he stop with his currant mission? This is urgent." Ultra Magnus said.
"No because there is no way to contact him until then." Longarm said.
"Jazz, Prowl what do you two suggest we do?" Ultra Magnus asked.
"We move you, Prowl, Optimus, Elita, Rodimus, and Drift to a different location. I will stay to guard Lockdown myself." Jazz said.
"No Jazz. I will not allow you to guard him by yourself." Ultra Magnus said.
"Why don't you take him with you Ultra Magnus? I know who would be prefect to stand guard over Lockdown." Longarm said.
"Who do you recommend Longarm?" Ultra Magnus asked.
"Warpath." Longarm said.
"Then have him guard Lockdown as soon as possible." Ultra Magnus said.
"Ultra Magnus, why not have the Jet twins go to the Eastern Isles instead of Blurr?" Prowl asked.
"Yes that is an excellent idea." Ultra Magnus said. He then turned to Longarm.
"I will get everything arranged right away even moving you and the rest of the royal family to one of the vacation homes." Longarm said.
"Thank you Longarm. Notify me when you have sent the Jet twins. I will send the kids to the vacation house before me and then I will join them once I have received word on what must be done about Lockdown. Jazz either you or Prowl can stay with me but the other must stand guard over the younglings." Ultra Magnus said.
"Prowl, I think ya should watch over them, and I will stay here with Magnus." Jazz said. Prowl nodded.
"But shouldn't we take other guards and a couple of messengers just in case?" Prowl said.
"Might I suggest something?" Longarm asked.
"Go ahead Longarm." Ultra Magnus said.
"Well I would also like to send medics as well so why not give both boys their own teams. For Optimus, his team can be Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Prowl, and Ratchet. Then Rodimus' team it will be Brawn, Ironhide, Hot Shot and Red Alert." Longarm suggested.
"Good thinking Longarm. Go and assemble the teams and send out the Jet twins. The teams and my sons and their bondmates will leave once they are ready." Ultra Magnus said.
Longarm nodded and then left. Ultra Magnus turned to Jazz and Prowl. "Would you two mind fetching me my children and their mates?" Ultra Magnus asked. Jazz and Prowl nodded and then left to get Optimus, Rodimus, Elita, and Drift. After a while Ultra Magnus heard the doors to his throne room opening. He looked up to see his sons and their mates.
"You wanted to see us father?" Rodimus asked as they entered the throne room.
"Yes I am going to send you 4 to a vacation home with two teams one for Optimus and Elita and the other for Rodimus and Drift." Ultra Magnus said.
"What about you father?" Optimus asked.
"I will be here until the Jet twins return with word from your grandfather. Then I will be joining you all at the vacation home. Now go get ready to leave." Ultra Magnus said while smiling at both his sons as they gave him a worried look.
"Don't worry I'll be here to protect him." Jazz said hoping to ease their worries a little.
"But father if you stay so do we. We are a family and we stick together." Rodimus said with a hint of anger and hurt in his voice.
"I will be meeting up with you all in a couple of days. I promise. Then we all can take a nice long vacation to relax after all these bad events that have been happening." Ultra Magnus said while smiling at his boys lovingly.
"Which vacation home are we going to?" Elita asked trying to get Optimus and Rodimus excited about where they would be vacationing at.
"We are going to the vacation home on the Island." Ultra Magnus said with a smile.
"That place is awesome!" Rodimus said with an excited smile.
"Not to mention it is a very enchanted, beautiful, and romantic place." Optimus said while holding Elita to him.
"I don't think I have been to the Island vacation home." Elita said while looking up at Optimus.
"You will love it there." Optimus said with a smile.
"Now go get ready. You leave as soon as you 4 and your teams are ready." Ultra Magnus said. They all nodded and then left to go get ready.
