Welcome to College

Terraformer malfunction

I know another story, but this plot bunny jumped into my head and I wrote it, and then I was to excited to write out my other stories to post this so I decided the sooner the better. To let you know the title is a work in progress.

Present Day: 1800 hours, Sahara Desert

"You shall not win Megatron!" Optimus yelled running with his machine gun towards the Decepticon leader.

"Oh you are mistaken Prime, I will win, and it will be you dead on the ground." He charged also towards the Autobot leader. Just as they were about to hit, a loud ground shaking 'BOOM' came from afar and a large grey dust cloud rushed their way. The Autobots and Decepticons who had been standing behind their leaders fled without command. "Come back here you cowards, or I will have your heads!" Megatron bellowed at his minions. Before anything else the dust cloud engulfed them all, making them topple over each other and yell.

One hour earlier: 1700 hours, Decepticon Warship,

Megatron watched as ShockWave, Knockout, and SoundWave finished up the last touches to the terraformer for earth.

"You all have proved me well, lets just hope this works." He turned to his SIC StarScream, "Prepare to move this contraption, I want it out and at the coordinates in thirty earth minutes." His SIC half-bowed to him and smirked.

"Yes master, it will be ready."

"It better be... SoundWave you know the plan?" His communications officer nodded silently. "Good, once we get there I want you to begin posthaste, chances are the Autobot scum will be there and I don't want any interruptions." He turned again and walked out of the room, with evil excitement in each step.

Thirty Minutes later: 1730 hours, Autobot Base,

Ratchet turned to the computer screen and stared at it with confusion written on his faceplate.
"Optimus, the Decepticons are on the move, with something big." He spoke to the Autobot leader as he walked in. Optimus's face stayed still as he looked around the room at everyone.

"I fear that the Decepticons are moving on with their plan to terraform the earth into a inhabitable place. We must move quickly and swiftly if we are to divert his plans."

"Eye I captain." Miko said saluting him.

"I am sorry Miko but I must have you all stay here with June and Agent Fowler, it is much to dangerous for you this time."

"Aaaawww." Saddnes etched its way to her face as she sat down.

"I want you all to come with me and fight this," he said looking to his team. "we will need as many soldiers on boards as possible. And most likely a medic on spot." Everyone nodded except for the humans who just watched and listened as their friends and allies walked though the ground-bridge armed and ready for battle.

Twenty-five minutes later: 1755 hours, Sahara Desert, with the device,

SoundWave stood silently near the terraformer typing in commands. As he was finishing up the procedure he spotted a glint of royal blue and pink coming his way. He let his tentacles slither out and towards the Autobot femme known as Arcee. Once she was in view he shocked her with his tentacles and she fell over still twitching from the shock. Without notice another Autobot came his way and smacked into him, making him tumble away from the terraformer.
"Let me help you with that." He looked up to see SmokeScreen using his phaseshifter to put his hand into the device and take out wires. "Huh, that was easier than I thought."

"What have you done Autobot!?" SmokeScreen looked over his shoulder to see ShockWave standing mere feet from him.

"I destroyed your device, that's what!" He yelled back smiling.

"You fool, you have just made it malfunction, who knows what it is capable of doing now." The device started to make frantic sounds as it shook rapidly, the young rookie looked over to it and his smile faded.

"uh-oh." Just as he said that the device exploded and engulfed them into a large grey dust cloud, knocking them all out.

So Short! It's killing me! *Falls over dead*... Anyways, sorry it's so short, I wanted to get this in, next chap is all about the Autobots and then you can see what has happened to them.

Please Review! and tell me what you think so far, Constructive criticism is welcomed, if needed.

And just a tip on what I am doing with the time it goes 0000 = 12:00 am - 02400 = 11:00 pm, so when it goes from higher to lower per-say 2000 to 0600 thats the start of a new day, 8:00 pm to 6:00 am. Hope it's not to confusing, I know it was for me before my dad taught me all of this. If you think of a better way of having me do it, I'm open for suggestions.

I want to thank 'Autobot Slipstream' for pointing out my time mistake, I was paying attention to writing the story than getting my time right.
