"What has happened? what can I do? This has all gone so wrong?"
Optimus prime could only contemplate these questions as he dangled from the wires of a construction crane, high above the ruined Chicago. He could only wait as the 3 wrecker autobots climbed the building to assist in freeing him. Harder for him was his inability to help his soldiers, his friends. From this vantage point he could see a distance away at the water front where the rest of his autobots were being held hostage by the decepticon. He knew they would be dead soon.
"no, I'm their leader, and I have failed them"
Optimus' eyes suddenly were drawn to the activation of the control pillar. A brilliant beam of energy shoots upward from it and activates the space bridge high in earth's orbit. If this continues, the human race, as well as the autobots, will be doomed.
"NO, I AM A PRIME!, they have all entrusted their lives to me, and I will not fail them!"
A fire now burned in his spark fueled by his resolve as well as the power of the Matrix of leadership, he had a purpose and he was going to fulfill it. Optimus unsheathed his sword from his arm and cut through the wires with ease. He fell for only a second before his jet pack reactivated. He flew down to the climbing wreckers who had just reached the building's 30th floor.
"wreckers, there is no time to waist, the other autobots are surrounded and in need of assistance as the water front, hurry and back them up"
Optimus had only just finished the statement before jetting off into the skyline. Optimus jetted through the sky at high speed towards the building where sentinel and the control pillar were. He wasn't thinking or planning; all that was in his mind was reaching them and stopping this madness. He was only a few blocks away when he passed over the area where the decepticons that had his autobots hostage. All eyes turned to the sky as he jetted over. He wanted with all his spark to go down an help them, but he knew he couldn't, if he didn't stop the spacebridge all would be lost. He suddenly passed over a side street where he saw megatron, just standing there. The decepticon warlord looked up and in a brief second that lasted a lifetime, the two friends turned mortal enemies locked eyes, almost staring into each others souls. As quickly as it had happened it had gone and optimus flew on.
The wreckers, not wanting to waste time, simply jumped from where they were on the building's side and smashed the pavement as they landed.
"hey, did he just cut through them bloody wires with his blade?" roadbuster asked the other two in his Irish accent
"yeah, so?" leadfoot replied, annoyed with the dumb question
"well then why the hell didn't he do that in the first place!"
Leadfoot and topspin looked at each other in surprise before turning back to roadbuster.
"I know, right" roabuster chuckled
With that the three wreckers transformed and sped off to assist their comrades. Moments later they arrived, guns blazing, at the scene where their friends were being held. They had arrived just as barricade had pushed Que forward, intent on executing him. With the sudden attack, que's life was spared as the decepticons' fire power was now focused on the wreckers. Soundwave charged forward and began firing his sonic cannons at the trio, who mostly dodged his attacks, but one low shot managed to sever leadfoot's right leg. Roadbuster and topspin attempt to help him up while returning fire but in their distraction soundwave had drawn closer and was upon them. He unloaded an full power blast of his sonic cannon right into leadfoot, reduceing the wrecker to little more than a pile of scrap. Roadbuster kicks sounwave backwards to put some distance between them but the remaining wreckers are peppered with decepticon fire. Topspin receives multiple shots to the chest and, already weekend, a shot to the shoulder causes him to stumble backwards and fall over the edge of the street and into the river. Roasbuster can see leaked energon in the water and knows there is little chance that his friend is alive.
"the hell with this, suck on this ya panzy sons a bitches!" he yells
With that, he takes grenade he had attached to his hip and whips it forward. No sooner does it leave his hand that a large, long limed quadruped decpeticon begins firing from behind him into his back. The damage the fire does to him is fatal and he drops to his knees before finally falling over, dead. The wreckers' efforts however are not in vain. The explosion of the grenade sends soundwave and barricade slamming to the ground. Barricade accidentally fires his gun as he falls, which winds up blowing a whole right through the head of the decepticon subduing bumblebee. Bumblebee does not waste this opportunity and drops his battle mask before activateing his cannon. He immediately shots the cons holding ratchet and mirage down. Within moments sideswipe and Que are with them as well and the group begins to gun down the surrounding decepticons. This was made easier when a deception mother ship above them suddenly began dropping its fighters onto the battlefield.
Seeing this, soundwave orders all decepticons to attack and kill the autobots. Feeling uneasy about the sudden turn in the tide, barricade provides covering fire for himself while slowly moving further from and finally retreating from the battle. As the battle rages, bumblebee and soundwave start going head to head with no holding back. Bumblebee suddenly notices sam and carly in a nearby car and realizes that if this continues they will get hurt. After getting some distance and waiting for soundwave to advance on him, bumblebee uppercuts his cannon into soundwave's chest and fires upward, blowing the decepticon communications chief's head right off. Bumblebee looked on as the wayward deceptocon ship crashed into the river near them.
"wonder what made it do that?"
"bumblebee! Your talking!" sam yelled in surprise
"yeah, well now isn't exactly the time to be playing mime, is it, alright lets get going you two, we gotta move!"
"SENTINAL!"optimus prime roared as he closed in on the building and his former teacher.
He opened fire on the building's roof, hoping the disable the control pillar. Sentimal began to fire back to stop optimus. It appeared that he was not using his cosmic rust cannon. This was lucky as a lucky shot strikes one of optimus' wings and he begins to spin out of control right towards the control pillar. He suddenly feels a swell of energy with in him as his chest begins to glow. Something is causing the matrix to react. Sentinel moves to protect the control pillar from the falling optimus but is a few steps to far. Optimus is only inches from making contact with the pillar when a blinding flash of light from both the matrix and the pillar blind him. Sentinel steps back as he is blinded by this new light. When he looks back, the control pillar and the building around it are intact. Optimus prime has vanished.
