" Why are they here," Cyclonus asked as he looked at the squad of Autobots who had just entered.
" I must be under surveillance," I stated,’ however I knew this when I left Iacon.’ Grabbing Cyclonus’ hand Tronia dragged him through the crowded club towards the bar. Once at the bar a grey/maroon Transformer approached them. " Topside, I got trouble."
" Wha’ no hello, no how are you," Topside huffed, Tronia looked at him with an impatient look. " Alright, wha’d you do this time?" Tronia pointed to the bar. " Oh, is that all." I explained as best I could to my old friend.
" Can you take care of them," Tronia asked, Topside smiled and nodded.
" Sure, just like old times, huh," Topside spoke slyly. Reaching under the bar, Topside pressed a button. Soon several Transformers emerged from a back room. " Good thing that the gang was all here."
" Hey, Tronia! What’s up? Been a few millennia," Slade greeted a wide grin on his face. " How can we be of service?" Topside jerked a thumb towards the front of the club. Slade’s optics glinted mischievously. " We’ll take care of them for ya, Tee. Come on guys."
Slade and the group moved to intercept Ultra Magnus and his squad. " Can we help you," Slade asked as he stood directly in front of Ultra Magnus.
" Yeah, we’re looking for someone," Ultra Magnus replied as he scanned the crowded club for Tronia.
" Aren’t we all," Slade remarked sarcastically.
" You haven’t by any chance seen a yellow/red/white/ green colored female Autobot, who goes by the name of Tronia," Ultra Magnus asked. " I heard that she was here."
" Nope, haven’t seen her," Slade answered shaking his head. " She must really be hot lookin’ to have so many chasing her." Several of the others in the group snickered.
" So you haven’t seen her," Magnus asked again, Slade and his group all shook their heads no.
" Magnus, she’s here," Jammer spoke looking up from her scanner.
" You lied," Ultra Magnus snarled angrily, but Slade only smiled.
" So sue me," the Gravibot leader sneered. Ultra Magnus lashed out and punched Slade, the Gravibot was hardly shaken. Ultra Magnus had thrown everything behind the punch.
" You call that a punch," Slade sneered as he proceeded to punch the Autobot in front of him. The punch sent Ultra Magnus flying into a group of table and chairs. " Party time!!!" The others in Slade’s group let out a whoop and joined in the brawl.
Over by the bar Tronia, Topside, and Cyclonus watched the brawl. " Thanks, Top’ you’re a pal," Tronia replied as she kissed her friend lightly on the cheek.
" Go on get outta here you two," Topside spoke gruffly as she waved the two away. Tronia grabbed Cyclonus’ hand and guided him to the back door of the club.
