Darkness rising part 1 act 1
Ah, there's nothing like a sunny day, patches of green out on the road of a small desert town with a sunset that emits an orange-yellow glow and the skies that mimics the sunset, and on the road was a red muscle car with bull horns on the hood and was talking to a blue motorcycle with some pink high lights in another part of the world.
"So there I am on the lookout when out of nowhere, these high beams light up my rearview and then it hits me. I'm illegally parked." Said the red car.
"Another parking ticket?" said the blue cycle.
"Better - the boot." The red one joked.
"Big metal tire clamp, impossible to move." The blue one said with a sigh in her tone.
"Bingo! So the local police do their thing and I let them get all the way down the block, that's when I kick off my shiny new shoe, and bang!" the red one continued joking.
"New York's finest soil themselves" said Arcee.
"You know me Arcee. Mess with Cliffjumper –"he stated.
"And you get the horns." She finished her partner.
Cliff chuckled as he drove on scouting for energon.
"Not sure how it complies with Auto-Bot rule #1 keeping a low profile." Said Arcee.
"What can I say, patrolling for energon out here in dullsville gets lonesome." Cliffjumper said.
"Almost makes me miss the Decepticons." He continued.
"Like Jasper Nevada's a party? We're alone wherever we travel on this rock Cliff." She said with a little sadness in her voice.
"He won't be alone for long." Said an unknown voice.
"Who is this?" they both said.
"Aw Cee and Cliff don't remember me I hurt." The voice said in faking being hurt.
"I know that voice, Longarm is that you?" said Arcee.
"You know it." He said in a cowboy voice.
"What are you doing here?" they asked.
"Trying to find you guys, I got some info for the head honcho." He said.
"Who's the closest to you?" Asked Arcee.
"Cliff is I'm on my way to him right now." He said as he sped up.
As Cliffjumper kept driving, a white-blue tow truck with an Auto-bot symbol on the doors and Cliff recognized it.
"Longarm you old con blaster!" said Cliff excited as they went off-road and transformed into robot mode. (AN: Longarm appearance is based off the 07 transformers toy line.)
They high5 each other and had a good chuckle before getting serious.
"What info do you have?" Cliff asked his friend.
"Some data regarding some captured Autobots and their ship here on Earth and other things." He said.
"Really where?" asked Cliff.
"It's too risky to tell you out here, but I do have a drive that contains the info and I need you to get it to Prime." He said.
He handed a flash drive and gave it to Cliff and he stored it away, they transformed and headed back on the road.
As they drove something came on Cliff's radar.
"I'm getting a signal." He said.
"Need backup?"
"Do we ever need Backup?" they retorted before going off-road.
At the highest speed, they sped towards to the location. When they arrived, they skidded to a stop at the edge of a ditch. Immediately, he recognized something that was familiar to the Transformers.
"We just found a lot of energon." Cliffjumper and Longarm proclaimed before the skies darkened and out came a huge dark-grey ship. "Decepticons!" as they went into robot mode, the ship then fired a laser shot that send them to the energon deposit, they got some scrapes before they saw a number of cons jumping out of the ship and aimed their blasters at them and their numbers continued to grow and the 2 bots knew they were outnumbered.
"Uh Arcee about that back-up…" Cliff trailed off as he and long-arm faced some odds.
(Cue the title logo)
"Fair warning boys. We're gonna put a few dings in ya." Both of them said before transforming into vehicle mode.
Revving their engines, they sped up the wall of the ditch, flew off it, transformed into robot mode and started beating the cons into the scrap metal they are.
"Arcee to Optimus. The cons are back. Cliff and Long-arm might be neck deep in scrap."
"Understood. Ratchet do you have their coordinates?" he asked.
"I've locked on to the signals Optimus, but our team is scattered across time zones. And Conner is back at base." Said Ratchet as he skidded to a stop on an icy road.
"Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee. Rendezvous back at base and prepare to ground-bridge." Optimus instructed. "Conner have the ground bridge ready for us to teleport CliffJumper's coordinates."
"Ok then, I'll bridge Ratchet in and he'll bridge in the others." Said Conner.
Conner locked on to Ratchet and brought him in first and then he went to get the others.
Back with Cliff and Longarm the two were taking out the 'cons as they kept coming. While they usually can handle being outnumbered, they secretly wished that backup would come and Cliff wished that Conner would disobey and come to help them out.
While they were fighting one con surged forward and managed to get a lucky hit on Cliff and another got Longarm as well.
Both got hit hard, hard enough for one of Cliff's horn to break off and one of Longarm's shoulder pieces and they get knock back into the ditch, but they got back on their feet fast and they were ticked.
"You want the horns? You got them!" they said as they brought out their guns and opened fire on them.
Both of them dodge the cons fire and they shoot back, Longarm saw one of them fired and it was heading for the energon and it'll blow it up!
Thinking quickly he pulled out a yellow grenade, pulled the pin and threw it in the air and it exploded releasing a huge burst of yellow light, that somehow froze the cons and their ship in their place.
Cliff was about to be blasted away by the other explosion when he saw the cons frozen and somehow he can move.
"How?" he asked.
"That was me." Said Longarm.
"Longarm how did you…?" asked Cliff but he was shushed by his friend.
"That was a time stasis grenade, but no time to get into it, it has enough energy to last for about 15 minutes for me to tell you my plan I got in the works." He said and explained to Cliff who was in shock when Longarm finished talking.
"Longarm are you nuts? You'll die!" he said.
"There isn't any other choice Cliff, I'm doing it." Said Longarm.
"I won't let you do it Arm." Said Cliff with anger in his voice.
"Then you leave me no choice old friend." Said Longarm.
Cliff was about say something when he got karate chopped in the neck with minimal force and was knock out by Longarm.
"I'm sorry Cliff it has to be this way." He said.
He looked at his scanner and his time freeze will wear off in 6 minutes, so he did what will change the tides of the war. First he placed 2 more drives in Cliff's compartment and attached his own weapon on to his back, next he activated a cloaking shield on Cliff so he won't be detected and third he used all the strength he mustered and threw Cliff out of the ditch.
"Till all are one my friend." He said and he pressed a button that shut off the time freeze.
The 3 drives he gave Cliff are important, one is for a prison where the other bots are kept in the solar system, the other two contain some important Intel for Prime to have and his blaster is also a key to his ship that is cloaked and can only be summoned with the weapon.
Longarm looked at the sunset one last time as his freeze field wore off and he closed his eyes as the explosion hits him full force.
After the explosion died down, the Cons scanned for Cliffjumper but can't find him, but they found Longarm, they grabbed him by the arms and dragged him to their ship the Nemesis.
On board the bridge was two people, one was human sized but he wears a black cloak and his identity is shrouded in mystery and the other one was Starscream who looked at the ditch with annoyance.
"The Energon, it's worthless to me now." He said with a growl in his tone.
He turned around to see the troops dragging Longarm to him and the cloaked person.
They dropped Longarm in front of them.
"Scream it's been a while." Longarm said while coughing up some Energon.
He looked to see the other person but couldn't make out his face.
"So where's your master?" he continued.
"Never mind him! I'm my own master." Starscream said.
Then he thrusted into Longarm's chest with his claws "Any more questions?"
Longarm's response was grunts and looked to see Scream's claws right where his spark chamber was and Starscream pulled his claws back and Longarm falls to the ground with leaked energon and he was dead.
"Clean that up." he ordered the cons.
The Nemesis then took off and headed out to the skies, not knowing that Cliff is alive and the cloaking has worn off.
After the enemy left a big green vortex popped out and 6 figures jumped out.
First was an ambulance that was Ratchet the scientist and medic, next came a green ATV it was Bulkhead the muscle, next came Arcee the blue motorcycle, then a black and yellow Camaro that transformed into the voiceless Autobot Bumblebee and the last one was a red and blue semi-truck and Autobot leader Optimus Prime. All of them had their weapons ready to go, but something was off, they were expecting something and that is nothing.
"An untapped energon deposit." Optimus observed as he and the others put their weapons away.
"What's left of it." Said Bulkhead.
"The first sign of Decepticon activity in 3 years." Ratchet pointed out.
"That we know of." Optimus piped in as he retracted his face plate. "If they are scouting for Energon, they may be preparing for his return."
The bots then proceed with caution as they walked closer to the ditch, Arcee and Bumblebee jumped down to survey the area when another ground-bridge opened, and Optimus draw out his blaster and was ready to fire when someone came out.
It was someone wearing a brown cloak, but a reddish short beard was seen.
"Conner what are you doing here? I told you to stay at base." Optimus rumbled in annoyance.
"Relax dad I came to help as well, Cliff is my friend too." Said Conner.
"The reason we wanted you back at base it's because you were the controller of the ground-bridge." Optimus stated.
"I got it taken care of, check it out." Said Conner as he revealed some green cyber gauntlets.
"These gauntlets allow me to create any portals I want to, all it needs is 1 drop of energon I carry to start it up." said Conner.
Optimus relents and allows his son to help out.
Arcee looks around for any clues, when her optics saw something she wish didn't want to see, a horn that belongs to Cliffjumper and a piece of Longarm's car door she feared the worst when everyone heard someone in a raspy voice.
"Optimus … Arcee." The voice said.
The others looked around for the source when Conner spotted something up there by there the trees, Bee and Bulk armed their weapons at the shadow.
Conner took out some binoculars and got a better look.
"Wait don't fire! That's Cliff!" shouted Conner.
The others were in shock, it was Cliffjumper alive, the others rushed to him and they saw he was in bad shape.
"Cliff what the hell happened to you?" asked Conner.
"Optimus, Longarm he's been captured the cons." Cliff said weakly.
The others were surprised by this, Conner managed to bring Ratchet's med kit and began to slowly patched up Cliff knowing he'll be confined to base for a while.
"Ratchet can you track Longarm's position?" said Optimus.
Ratchet then opened a mini computer in his wrist and saw something that gave them hope but that hope then disappeared as a dot just vanished.
"No. Longarm's life signal just went offline." He announced sadly.
The others felt sorrow as they lost another Autobot and friend, Arcee and Conner hugged each other, as they lost someone close to them as well.
Back on the Nemesis Starscream was on the bridge with the cloaked one when Soundwave came in.
"Soundwave was is it?" asked Starscream in annoyance.
"Like Jasper, Nevada a Party? We're alone wherever we travel on this rock Cliff."
Then something came into Starscream's mind.
"Ah the one called Arcee, why slay just one Autobot, when we still have the advantage of surprise?" he said followed with a dark chuckle.
