Chris stormed into the base with rage unexplainable. He felt a multitude of feelings. Fear, lonliness, and just plain horror. They had attacked his Uncle, they had murdered him! Even he thought that the Decepticons would never go so far as to... As to... Attack someone when he wasn't even in the house. As far as he knew someone had contacted David, and was picking him up, but he hadn't payed attention.
His eyes were red and swolen by now, and tears were lining his eyes. "I'm gonna kill those bastards!" He found himself shouting, not caring who heard him "I'm gonna kill them." He slid down the side of the nearest wall, crying hard, he trembled madly.
He didn't know how else to react, he had never thought he'd ever go home to that. To his Uncle dead and his home in ruin. It was like a nightmare, like reliving his Mother's death. It was just plain horryfying.

Arsenal transformed in mid-air, turbines slowing his descent. He landed outside the hanger. He recieved word of the terrible deed that had befallen Chris's uncle. His spark went out to the boy. He flinched with Chris's outburst. While he agreed with the sentiment, It was strange to hear from the boy. He walked softly over towards Chris, as he sat against the wall. Chris was leaking fluid down his face. Arsenal Kneeled down next to Chris.
Chris, Im so very sorry to hear about your uncle. We will find them and make them pay."

Hammerfist watched Chris from a distance away. Since they were in the base, he stayed in Robot mode, and despite not having a humanoid face like the other Autobots, anyone close enough could see in his stacked eyes and posture of his body, that he was angry. Angry at the Decepticons more than he had ever been before. He knew they were low, but this? This was an all time low, even for scum like them.
"Chris..." he said as he began to walk towards the angry, horrified young man. "I don't know what exactly to say about all of this." Hammerfist knelt down in front of him. "But I can say this. I swear on Odin's beard I'll bring you the head of those responsible for such treacherous acts." he said, his voice stern and unwavering.

Chris shook his head slowly, pulling his legs close to his chest. He wasn't sure wha to say, wasn't sure what he could force himself to say. He couldn't find words to describe how he felt, and though he knew he was surrounded by friends... This was one of the moments where a kid like Chris, who usually had a ton to say, had absolutely nothing to say. He sighed, finally finding the words. "Why did they have to attack him? He had nothing to do with this." He shook his head "They wanted me, they had no right..."

No, your right. There was no reason for them to do this. I.. " Arsenal was at a loss. He had no idea how to properly console the boy. I know this is a horrible time for you. I know how much it hurts to loose the ones we care about most. But you must remain strong, Do not let your anger and pain cloud your judgement, this is what those bastards want.

"They're Decepticons. Lowest of the low." Hammerfist muttered. "If they can't get you directly, then they'll get you indirectly..." He gave a metallic sigh. "They went after him because they want to break your resolve and make you give in. They're cowards who don't want a fight, and just want whatever it is handed to them, and they'll pull every string and use every trick to do it."
"And at the end of this, they're going to be no more than notches on the grip of my hammer." He said. "Whatever you do, Chris, don't give up. That's what the Decepticons want."

Chris knew where they were coming from, of course he did... But this was completely throwing everything over on it's head. There was no way he was living in town after this, he'd go to and from the town he was sure... But after this, he knew the Autobots would make him and David live at the base. They weren't safe living anywhere else anymore and he knew it.
"I know that's what they want... I'm just scared of who could be next." He shook his head slowly "I'll never forgive myself if they find out about Monica or Mark... Or anyone else." That was his second main concern, the main concern being the situation he was now in "I can't loose anyone else."

"Then we'll have to make sure they don't bring harm to any more people you find important." said Hammerfist. "The others, they still live back in town, don't they?" He asked. "If so, we'll have to keep some of the Autobots there to keep them safe. That is unless you feel that they'd be more safe here. Perhaps you should talk to Optimus Prime about this. He'd have more say about it than I would." he said.

Arsenal rested a finger on Chris's shoulder to comfort him. " We wont let them, Chris." Arsenal reassured him. "Ill put my spark on the line to see that it doesn't happen." he looked over at the Mech next to him. "thank you for watching over Chris, names Arsenal" He told him, giving the mech a grateful nod.

"I know Arcee's looking over Monica... And Blurr and Mark hit it off..." Chris shook his head, looking over "I just hope that's enough... Their parents don't know about you guys... They couldn't be brought here." He sighed, wiping away some tears "But I swear if they come wtihin ten feet of anyone I know..." He didn't even finish what he was saying, he was blinded with sadness and rage... Something he hadn't even felt when his Mom died, he had been too young to understand what happened. Though he had felt horribly upset at the time.

Hammerfist chose to add his own ending onto Chris's sentence. "They're as good as scrap." He said, before turning to Arsenal. "If it weren't for the boy, I'd still be idly wandering around California wondering where all the Autobots went. So I'm more or less indebted to him in a way. The name's Hammerfist." He said as he gave a quick salute that involved him clanging a metal fist against his own chest.

Arsenal smiled and returned the salute. You are right Chris they dont know about us. But if its for their safety, perhaps its time to....as you humans say...Let the cat out of the bag? He did not know how the parents would react, knowing that their children had befriended giant alien robots from outerspace. Needless to say it would not be a pleasent first meeting. He only hoped it wouldnt take a 'con showing up to make them think otherwise.

"Yeah, that'd work." Chris didn't mean to sound rude, but he was upset and just so damn angry right now. It was almost like he was in a non-stop fit. "After the incident with The Fallen two years ago, that would go over so well." He sighed, walking away slowly, he tried to think of a way to handle all of this without the two Autobots looming over him. He could only wonder what was going to happen now. Would they know the Autobots were keeping him and David at NEST?
That worried him slightly too. Sure every human here was Millitary, but they and the Autobots could still very much get hurt. Who knows what would happen now. He held his arms calmly, leaning against the wall, he looked outside, having calmed his tears now, but still feeling a lot of pain.

Hammerfist looked over at Arsenal for a moment, then back to Chris. "If you'd like...a couple of us Autobots could stay back in California to keep an eye on things. Keeping our heads down, of course." he said. "...That is unless the slag hits the fan and the two already there need extra guns, of course. But mostly working behind the scenes."

Arsenal stood up and stepped back. He brought a hand up to his chin while he tried to think of a way. Chris was right of course. That incident was a prime example of what would happen if they announced their existence in the wrong manner. They couldnt just hide all the families away...that would be impossible. He honestly didnt know how to go about this, He wasnt a strategist.
