San Francisco is a major US city located in the state of California. One of it's most well known attractions is the Golden Gate Bridge (pictured above, duh). It is also where the show Full House took place. Just a fun fact.

Four muscle cars, 2015 Dodge Challengers all colored white and with blue striped down the sides, exited a groundbridge in a wooded area outside the city. An older generation car pulled out behind them. It kept the same color scheme, but the paint was more faded, yet polished. It was not a Challenger, it was sleeker, more like a sports car. Though it still kept some bulk. Armatum sighed as he pulled out of the woods and onto the Golden Gate bridge. His squad of protectobots followed him. The lone autotrooper instructed Radar, the squad's comms officer, to set his EM scanner on long range mode. He growled a little as he pulled to a stop on the bridge. It wasn't that he wanted too, he had too.
Fraggin' traffic. I don't wanna be stuck on this bridge if any cons show up.

Vaqus swam through the waters, deep down as to hit the ocean floor near the state of california. He was over a hundred meters underwater, and descending. Vaqus sighed to himself, some air bubbles floating to the surface as he vented. He was alone now, finally. He continued to swim into the depths, despite the declining temperatures and ground level. A few sharks passed by, eyeing Vaqus like a fish that was just too big.
Vaqus gave another sigh as he kept looking into the blueness, feeling an empty spot within him as he recalled someone who was back in his home. Or wherever. Vaqus didn't know where this person was, however he kept swimming. Clinx sent a mental signal, 'Shall I go try to fly around for a bit? I have a feeling I could find a few things that could get you out of this gloom.' Vaqus just shook his helm. Not now, he responded back. Vaqus finally found a deepness that satisfied him, and he remained on the ocean floor, resting before he would go off once more...

::Hey Vaqus, sorry to interrupt. Magnus wants you at base,:: Chronon says over the comm.

Clinx had deployed from Vaqus's back, commencing a medical procedure. The little bot was useful to Vaqus in this way, being the crutch that he needed wherever he went. Vaqus was soon repaired well enough as the hours slipped by in the depths, and the sun rose up high in the sky, it's rays of yellow beaming down from the sky into the darkened waters. Vaqus was glad to experience the sunrise underwater, it made ean extremely good view as he was fixed up by Clinx. The minicon then folded up into his back, as Vaqus lay on the sea floor. Relaxing was what he enjoyed, and to his knowledge, underneath here no one could really catch him. He was safe.
::Hey Vaqus, sorry to interrupt. Magnus wants you at base,::
Chronon told Vaqus over the com-line interrupting the peace and quiet. Vaqus lowered his shoulders in a sigh, Autobto base. Right. He looked wearily in the distance, his copper and slightly purple optics glowing without much enthusiasm. He thought about a few people before he left swimming, thinking about times of his past. He missed a few members of his family, but now he had to keep moving. Primus I can be such a gloomy wuss. Vaqus told himself, beginning to swim through the waters. A groundbirdge opened atop the watery surface, causing Vaqus to need to build up some speed before he reached it and dove through. He transforming, he slipped through the big blue with relative ease, building up speed for his dive above. He broke the surface, plunging straight into an open ground bridge. Vaqus dropped into the vortex, knowing that it was time for reality to slap him in the face. The bridge closed behind him.

Flying over the golden gates at some speed was a 30ft tall mech with a flight suit equipped. He'd been flying for several hours strait from Japan and had miscalculated how far he'd have to fly. The afterburners were beginning to overheat and he would have to set down or else he'd risk burning up.
In a secluded area the flight came to stop, his pedes reach the ground and the thrusters cut off. It was Gearchange, or Dark Mercy as he'd been called by the Decepticons.
California, what a beaut.
He smiles, looking over the golden gates bridge.

A green swirling portal, also known as a groundbridge, opened up in San Francisco. Right under the Golden Gate Bridge so no humans would notice what was about to come out . As soon as the groundbridge opened up, a yellow and black cybertronian sports car drove out as the portal closed. The cybertronian sports car then transformed into a 20 ft tall mech. The mech wore the autobot insignia on his chest and the elite guard insignia on his right shoulder plating. The mech had only arrived to Earth not long ago, that was why he still had his cybertronian vehicle mode. The autobot was known as Sparkflare. The mech looked around, no humans. Good. Then walking slightly out from the bridge just to peer over to look at the cars that drove past.
The mech had to choose a form to transform into quickly. Sparkflare knew that almost all of the human population didn't know of the existence of cybertronians. And his alt mode really would give him away. The mech then saw a car that he liked. Quickly scanning it before hiding under the bridge again before any human did see him as he let his plating shift into his new mode. As Sparkflare's plating shifted correctly, the mech then acitvated his battle mask, which looked like a welding mask. Thanks to his long-range scanner he managed to pick up a decepticon signal. It was from the other side of the bridge.
"Alright, time to investigate..."
Sparkflare said to himself, remembering Feenix's order to not engage. Then the mech transformed into his new vehicle mode, one that humans will be able to accept: A Lamborghini Gallardose 1600. As Sparkflare transformed, he quickly drove off from under the bridge and entered the road to the bridge, just managing to steel a spot from a pick-up truck as he started to drive across the bridge. It was then at that moment, Sparkflare had found a new nemesis. Traffic! This could take a while.

Dark Mercy had been waiting for several hours in a clearing, the cabin lit up and the engine engages. Roaring into action the rig and trailer began to roll forwards, plotting his next journey. He had to keep heading west. He was unaware of anyone following him... but he knew his hours were running out.
The rig joined the road to the golden bridge, heading in the other direction of the Autobot, no doubt he was going to pass him unaware of Sparkflare's existance.

As Sparkflare painfully slowly drove across the bridge, the mech reached part of the road that began to speed up. How knew how much hassle one broken down car would cause. Hopefully he would not run into traffic ever again for the rest of his stay on Earth. Sparkflare noticed the signal started to get closer to him. Sparkflare prepared himself to send a commlink back to base for back up, as he said to Feenix before he left, and engage. Even though Sparkflare knew that he was specifically told not engage, he would have to if human lives were at steak. Sparkflare, right now was about half way of crossing the bridge. But it would be a while before he would pass Dark Mercy.

Dark Mercy kept to the outside lane on the bridge, maintaining speed behind the traffic flowing into the city, he kept a watch out on the bridge in case any decepticon fliers were scouting for his location. When a space opened up the rig began to accelerate joining up with traffic passing by the incident.

Sparkflare drove on the inside lane, just incase he had to change direction immediatly and head back into the city for any reason. Sparkflare just hoped that he wasn't going slow enough so that a human would look into him and see no driver. Sparkflare kept an optic on the Decepticon's position on his scanner. The mech was ready to engage if need be. Then Sparkflare just realised, the signal just passed him. Did the decepticon not know that Sparkflare was currently searching for him? Either way, Sparkflare still had the element of surprise. And if Sparkflare wanted to keep the advantage of not being noticed, Sparkflare would continue to drive away from the city until Dark Mercy was out of physical sight. As soon as Sparkflare thought it was safe enough to change direction, he was near the end of the bridge by the time he decided. Sparkflare broke into a drift, knocking down one or two of the poles that seperated the road from both directions. Sparkflare was now on the road that lead to the city.
Now it was time to try and catch up. Pushing the pedal down, Sparkflare drove quickly towards Dark Mercy, even though he could see the decepticon on his scanner, he had no idea what was the vehicle mode of his target was. Sparkflare quickly drove, changing from the inside and outside lanes to try and grab any available space to try and reach Dark Mercy as fast as possible, but still keep away from a distance.

The rig was on the 101, leaving the bridge behind him as the road curved round overlooking the marina it was clear he would make his way onto the interstate, route 80 and then join the long spanning bridges over to the other side. He hadn't seen the yellow car catch up with him or pass him on the way over the bridge, nor was he aware of the Autobots intent to track him down.

The lamborghini had managed to make some ground to catch up, as the car just left the bridge and was now on the 101. Sparkflare started to adjust to the speed limit once again once he saw, what his scanners were telling him, that the rig, about 65 feet away from him, was the Decepticon he was chasing down. The lambo decided started to drive another 15 feet closer. Just to keep pursuit from a distance.

By now the rig had entered onto the busy roads, there were shortcuts around the city, many turns and blocks which could be used to heard the rig into the industrial port, hardly used due to the citie's recreational use of boats nowadays.

Sparkflare continued to drive in pursuit. The mech noticed that he was following this mech for sometime. The longer Sparkflare waited, the more dangerous it was going to be for the humans to get caught up in a possible battle. The fewer the humans around the better. Sparkflare thought, where a safe place to lead this decepticon and engage in a fight. He would have to fight to make sure the Decepticon he was chasing down was this Dark Mercy. Wasn't there a port nearby that he'd seen from the map back at the base? One that had towers of cargo and ships to hide behind? It was the perfect spot to fight in. No humans around that would get harmed. Nor would he get seen by one. Time to try and bait the decepticon to the port. The lambo started to speed up, to enclose the gap between him and the decepticon. After a few minutes, Sparkflare was only 10 feet away from the rig. If Sparkflare was going to try and lead the decepticon to the port, he would have to make himself known. See if he can some how scare the decepticon.

A wing mirror on the rig moved to check on the traffic behind him, noticing the yellow car which was behind him.
Following me huh... I'll soon see an end to that.
The rig turns off into the abandoned docks finding a spot to hide from his pursuer.

*A groundbridge portal opened up nearby the bridge and Afterburner came out of it in her Falcon mode, soaring highly into the skies as she overlooked the city.*

The lambo turned off as well still, following the decepticon. Looks like the 'con was heading for the port anyway. The mech then had to stop, traffic lights caught him just in time for Dark Mercy to go hide.
"Scrap..."
Sparkflare said as he waited 'til the lights turned green. His indication for 'green-for-go' was the cars behind him using their horns as he was not moving. Entering the port, Sparkflare's scanners ran out of power, he was now in the dark where the decepticon will strike him. Transforming back into robot mode, Sparkflare flexed out his right arm out and then his forearm opened up and a hollow cylinder was revealed inside. It rotated anti-clockwise 'til a grappling hook elevated into place. As the grapple was in place, Sparkflare grabbed his path blaster, which was attached to his pelvis, and held it in his right servo. Usually Sparklfare would use his Solar Plasma Cannons but since he had his grappling hook already out, it would save a lot more time to use his path blaster than constantly switching between his grapple and SPCs.

*Afterburner then detected Sparkflare's signal and commed him.*
Sparkflare? The frag you doing?
