Chapter one.
The cost of a victory.
What was only so far a few hours of battle seemed days on end. The Autobots were holding off the attack from the Decepticons, who only had one primary objective and one secondary objective, destroy the Ark and kill as many Autobots as possible. However the Autobots were not going to give up easily.
The Autobots had a defensive formation, guarding their one hope of leavening Cybertron. Bumblebee was firing his Neutron assault riffle and incoming forces like there was no tomorrow, well there wouldn't have being if they didn't fight like that. A fellow scout, Jazz, was to his right with a Path blaster, showing of getting head shots and bragging about his success. Until a stray bullet hit him in the shoulder and he stumbled back.
"Oh, hell no." Jazz roared "he's gona regret that." And after making the promise he roared and fired unmercifully at the opposing team.
"Bumblebee, there's a gap on the incoming forces to the left if we play our cards right we can sneak round and maybe out flank them with some back up. What shall we do?" After Jazz asked Bumblebee gave him the most annoyed look he could ever give.
"Oh yeah, sorry I forgot your voice box is messed up. Can't you get a…" Jazz trailed off, realizing he was asking another question.
"Right nod if we go or shake if we don't."
Bumblebee looked out into the field and saw what he meant. There were tall buildings. Most of them in ruins, somehow still standing. Piles of scrap laid waste on the field. He turned to his left seeing a part where there was no Decepticon enemy. He stared and thought for a moment, he turned then nodded to Jazz
"Oh right baby." A grin came to his face. Jazz put his index and middle finger to his head to use the COM link.
"Cliff, do you come in?
"I read ya."
"Good, Cliff I see you turn left."
"Seriously? We are in the heat of battle and you just wanted to me to round?"
"Hell no, listen we got a plan to kick dem annoying cons right where it hurts with a flank attack."
"Right and what do you want me to do?"
"Well there are two options. The first door you can take is you can help us by taking a team of yours with our and flanking or you can take door number two by trying to get their attention by keeping them distracted."
"I am going with door number one."
"Groovy baby. Rendezvous with us at our position. Jazz out. He's coming with us Bumblebee."
Bumblebee then pointed to the Decepticon enemy and Jazz looked out.
"Don't worry B-B I got it." Jazz mocked, Bumblebee gave him a hated look. Jazz put his index and middle finger to his head.
"Optimus you there?"
"Reading you loud and clear."
"Sweet, listen me and Bee are gona out flank them cons, we need someone to keep them occupied while we are making our route to them."
"Hmm, I suppose we could lay supporting fire on to them while you go around and take them out. Watch out for Bumblebee, he might not be like he used to since the incident a few days ago."
"Do worry Optimus, I'll get his back."
Jazz turned to Bumblebee," Mission's a go go."
