A regular door was at the end of the hallway. No indistinct markings were on it, only the number was different from the other doors.
133
Inside the regular door was a regular room. A berth was against the wall with a metal nightstand next to it. A few datapads lay on top of it. A cabinet containing energon cubes was adjacent to the bed. Absolutely nothing seemed abnormal about the room...

Sparkflare walked down the hallway, checking the numbers on each door. The young mech was carrying a synthetic spark in his servos. Sparkflare then stopped. Room 133. Sparkflare shifted his stance to face the door. Sparkflare looked to the side of the door. There was a sequence of buttons on them. Raising his left servo, while held the synthetic spark in his other, Sparkflare put in the number, 133.
As Sparkflare put in the password, he had heard a click. Presuming that was the door unlocking, Sparkflare open the door slightly and slowly a peered in. His optics scanned the room. Nothing. Sparkflare sighed as he walked in fully and closed the door behind him. Sparkflare raised both his servos and stares into the synthetic spark. He sighed.
"Okay, I'm here Nitros. What am I to do now?"
Sparkflare sighed. He just looked stupid standing here, talking to synthetic spark. No kind of spark would be able to answer him anyway.

However, one thing was a tad abnormal in the room. On the wall next to Sparkflare hung a dulled sword. In fact, it was the one Nitros had used to spar with Sparkflare back on Cybertron. Perhaps Spark would feel nostalgic by seeing it and want to pick it up?

Sparkflare sighed as he lowered the spark. Sparkflare was just about to leave for the halls to use the terminal and see if he could find some blueprints for the room to try and find this Mark III. But when Sparkflare turned around, his optics caught something. A dull sword. Sparkflare looked at the sword. He remembered it well. The last time he saw this sword was when Nitros and Sparkflare sparred during his training.
Most notably the last spar they had was during their last day together, before Sparkflare earned his elite guard insignia branded onto his right shoulder and he was stationed at he Iacon hall of records to guard Alpha Trion along with a whole bunch of others. Sparkflare sighed brought back a lot of memories. Sparkflare held the synthetic spark under his left arm and walked up to the sword. Stretching his right servo out, grasped his servo around the hilt, picked it up and began to examine sword.

Sparkflare removing the sword revealed a small hole in the wall, formerly hidden by the blade. It looked just big enough for the sword to fit into if someone were to stab it in. A small light glowed from the hole, probably catching Spark's attention.

Sparkflare noticed the hole as he removed the sword from its stand. There was a light coming from it. Sparkflare frowned slightly. Was the Mark III that Nitros mentioned behind this wall? Lowering the sword to the hole, Sparkflare thrusted the blade in and left it there as he took a few steps back, expecting something to happen once he put the sword in.

The light from the hole glowed brighter as a section of the floor in front of the wall split apart, revealing a ladder that led down beneath the room.
If Sparkflare climbed down the ladder, he would find himself in a huge cavern that was underneath the Arc. Various machines were on the floor. A display of proto-type weaponry was against the wall and a large computer console lay at the end of the cavern. Mechanical arms also hung from the ceiling. Various cars and trucks were on one side of the cavern, while a fighter jet was on the other. The vehicles and jet were all stripped down, with their parts laying beside them.
Next to where Sparkflare would enter was what resembled a modified CR chamber. A control console was next to it and in the center of the console was a spherical hole. It looked as if something were to fit in there.

Sparkflare saw the wall split apart. He should of expected something like that to have happened. Sparkflare saw the ladder and without a seconds thought, walked up to it. Holding the synthetic spark under his left arm, the young mech started to climb down the series of ladders.
Once Sparkflare had hit the bottom, the mech stepped off the ladder, turned around at a 180 degrees to look upon the large cavern. Sparkflare held the synthetic spark in his both servos now as he walked down the cavern.
"This place must be under the Ark."
Sparkflare said to himself. The mech turned to face the modified CR chamber. Sparkflare raised an optic ridge, how does one manage to steal a CR chamber from the medical bay without getting caught. Then again, another question was where exactly did it come from? Sparkflare then turned to look at the console. Sparkflare walked up to the console to get a better look. There was a spherical hole in the centre. Sparkflare then looked down at the synthetic spark in his servos. That hole must be for the spark to go. Sparkflare steadily placed the spark into the hole. And waited to see if something should happen.

The Synth-Spark began to lower down inside the command console. It then traveled through a tube and into the CR chamber. The chamber then started to make noise. Various whirs and whistles were heard from inside until a final ding was heard. The chamber then opened, and out walked a smiling Nitros. The head and coloring were about the only thing that hadn't changed. Nitros' new body was hulking and definitely put the MAX in Maximus. He stood well over seven foot above Sparkflare. He looked down at his former pupil and smirked. Well kid, glad you found your way down here. Suppose you know my little secret now though. He spread his arms out as he turned to the rest of the cavern. My own little workshop! Or big workshop. When we first crashed here, my scanners picked up this cavern right below my room. I figured the ship wasn't going anywhere soon so I began to expand downwards into it.

Sparkflare's jaw dropped as he saw Nitros walk out of he CR-chamber. Well there went any hopes of actually being taller than Nitros. Sparkflare shrugged the thought off as he smiled back at his former teacher.
"Well, not bad for an old-timer."
Sparkflare looked down the cavern, this time talking a bit more of a better look. The young mech was honestly not surprised. Sparkflare knew Nitros was a tech junkie. Sparkflare was pretty sure that this cavern that this cavern must if went under a few more rooms. Sparkflare then turned to face Nitros once again.
"And no one else has even noticed this? Are there any others that know about this place?"

((Got it Sky))
Well I was planning on revealing it as a whole new engineering wing to the base, but then I was you know, "killed". Six years have gone by and now I've gotta get this place fixed up before I can reveal it though.
He moved over to the prototype weapons display and picked up what resembled a heavy duty plasma cannon and mounted it on his right forearm.
The NitrosTech model Z-98, or as I like to call it, the "Planetbuster". This baby can knock a hole in a con and cause explosive damage to those around that unlucky fellow.
NitrosTech was a term the Maximus had began using on Cybertron for anything he had made. The mech had hoped he could start an engineering company after the war. He then picked up another weapon that resembled the "Planetbuster" but had six barrels instead of the one big opening. What looked to be missile tips were sticking out of them.
NitrosTech M-09 missile launcher. It spits out six missiles at machine gun speeds and even has a lock-on feature. I don't have a cool name for this one.
He said with a smile before taking a large great-sword off the weapons rack and holding it with two servos.
And this is my big-aft sword! I also don't have a name for this baby!
He said before slicing it through the air a few times. Nitros then walked over to the computer console and tapped a button on it. In front of the computer a desk rose out of the ground. He laid his new weapons down on it before sitting in front of it in a comfortable looking chair. He motioned for Spark to sit in the chair across from him before reaching down into the cabinets and pulling out two glowing energon cubes.
Purified Energon! Rare, but my favorite kind. Only got a few cubes left but this is a special occasion. Want one?
He held one cube out towards him. Purified Energon was energon in it's finest state, having been found already in it's liquid form inside Cybertronian caverns. It didn't have the slight after-taste that processed energon had.

"You were killed?"
Sparkflare was slightly confused, but at least now it made sense why Nitros had a synthetic spark. When Nitros showed Sparkflare his homemade weapons, the mech examined them. When Sparkflare saw the missile launcher, he came up with a name instantly.
"How about 'Your-final-goodbye-present'?"
Then following Nitros down to the control centre, Sparkflare took a seat. The mech looked up at Nitros, offering a cube of purified energon.
"Thank you."
Sparkflare then took the cube off of Nitros and took a sip.
"So where did you find this purified Energon and be able to get it here on Earth?"
Sparkflare then sat back slightly and raised his pedes on the edge of the control desk and smiled as he took another sip.
"And you now owe me a new body aswell, since your new body, in Earth distance, is seven feet taller. So do you have a spare set of armour that happens 5 Earth feet taller than I am so I can use it for myself?"

Kind of long, but catchy and accurate. I like it kid.
Nitros smirked and sipped from the cube before answering his other question.
I managed to convince the storage managers on the Arc to allow me to get a few crates of the stuff on board.
He said with a smile before finishing the cube. Nitros set it on his desk and chuckled at Spark's last question.
Afraid I don't Spark. This body is made from Cybertronian alloy. I had whipped it up before we left Cybertron in case I ever wanted to be like the big guys. You have no idea how long I had been planning for Operation Resurrection. I'd offer to make you like me but...
He sighed and pointed to his chest.
Synthetic sparks are insanely hard to make. Especially the one required for my plan.
Nitros then pulled out another cube and popped the top off.
So kid, how have things been for you since Cybertron?

"Huh."
Sparkflare nodded as Nitros as he heard his reason to why Sparkflare couldn't have new armour. As Sparkflare took another sip from his cube, that was when Nitros asked him about how his life was for him since Cybertron.
"Well, after I waked up from the long distance pod I got stuck in, I was greeted by a fella named Riptide, he showed me the way to the base. There was a meeting, about the former Prime, Watchman died. Then Feenix, who is the new Prime, had you and another guy named Skyspray promoted to Magnus and Maximus. Then after the crowd faded, I was sent to a place named San Fransico to hunt down Wathman's killer, Dark Mercy. And apparently Dark Mercy was an Autobot named Gearchange."
Sparkflare took another sip from his cube before continuing.
"So I chased Dark Mercy to the port. And long story short, we got Dark Mercy back and converted him back into Gearchange. So after that I helped Astrinal for a small recon. Well, I can varely call it a recon. So after that I got out to the Sahara desert to answer your back up."
After Sparkflare finished he took another sip.
"What about you? Infact- wait,"
Sparkflare said as he sat up with his left servo raised to his audio receptor. He was hearing two comm-links. One he didn't have to listen to, but the other was a pick up call. The mech had to go answer it. Putting his pedes off the console and onto the ground, Sparkflare stood up and passed his cube of purified energon to Nitros.
"Well, I hate to cut things quickly Nitros, but I got a comm reqeusting for pick up. I have to go answer it. You can finish my cube. And don't worry. I didn't back-wash. Well see ya."
Sparkflare said as he gave a short mock salute before walking down the cavern up to the ladders. After climbing up the ladders to the until he got to the apartment once again. Gaining his bearings once again of the apartment, Sparkflare exited the apartment by opening the door and closing it behind him before waling down the hall to the command centre.

Nitros gave a small wave as Sparkflare left before downing the cube and sighing.
Computer, pull up that report I was reading before leaving for the Sahara.
Immediately a hologram popped up in front of the mech. Nitros scrolled through it, reading of how a decepticon medbay was blown up by a member of a covert Autobot team. While most bots would have been appalled by the action, Nitros was impressed that someone in the Autobots had the lugnuts to pull such a stunt. He was equally impressed that there was a team full of like-minded individuals.
Computer, pull up a roster of this "Argo-19" squad's members.
A square hologram popped up with the names and faces of the members. Nitros grinned a little as he viewed it.
Hmm, the leader is Astrinal. I'll contact her soon. She could be... useful.
That's when he got the alert about Backbeat and DC. Standing and stretching, he grinned wider before mounting his new weapons on his forearms and placing the greatsword on his back.
Time to test this new body.
He then climbed the ladder and exited the room, heading for the command center.

Nineteenth of July 2016, 54 minutes before departure
"It's not your fault. If an A.I. mind starts to begin deteriorating then it is probably because the download link was not secure."
Ratchet said as he was on his knees before an unconcious Nitros that had been straightened out on a lowered berth. Currently, Nitros had been hooked up to a device that monitored brain activity and now the old medic was attaching a spark-rate monitor onto the general's chest. Once Ratchet was done, he placed one servo on the thigh of his leg and turned around to face the mech behind him. The mech was of similar size to Ratchet, except the mech was yellow, black, red and decked out in fire based decals. The mech was Sparkflare.
Yeah. I know. I talked to him about it after the whole Washington DC event. I would've said said sooner, but Feenix had to much stress on her hands during her reign as Prime. And I'm too afraid if Skyspray would just say to ditch the attempt. I don't think he has a great view on Nitros because of his absense as being on of Feenix's commanding officers. Besides, I don't think Nitros would've wanted the entire Autobot army soley worrying over one person."
"Well nothing we can do now to change that. Anyways, I'm done with attaching the equipment. You said the berth can be slid into an in built stasis chamber?"
Ratchet said as he stood up as the berth lifted up to its standard posistion. Sparkflare walked over to stand at the side of the berth. The young mech looked over his mentor. The emotion of worry was clear to see on Sparkflare's face. The mech nodded in response to Ratchet's question. Sparkflare lowered the data pad on the nightstand next to Nitros' berth, then moved his hand under it and then click.
Sparkflare must've pressed a button as the wall behind Nitros berth opened up revealing the supposed stasis chamber.
"Just roll him in. Simple as that. And thanks for helping me out with this before I leave."
Ratchet nodded as he slowly inserted Nitros into the stasis chamber. Sparkflare simply watched, his eyes tracking Nitros.
"See you again soon, Nitros."
Ratchet now had fully placed Nitros into the stasis chamber, closed it's door which should automatically activated the stasis mechanism. As far as Ratchet was concerned, his job here was done so he simply left. Sparkflare on the other hand walked infront of the stasis chamber and raised his arm upward towards the control panel. The mech sighed as he lowered his head as he pressed the button which did activate the stasis mechanism of the chamber. Sometimes the activation worked, sometimes it didn't.
"Promise."
