Hey guys :-D ok so here is the second chapter. Soz it took me so long I caught the worst cold in history :-D ok so enough with the chatter, on with the chapter! (btw Italics means that its bumblebee talking(you know because he beeps instead of talking))
~~~3~~~
*Bumblebee's POV*
Raph, Miko, and Jack had just come back from school and I was watching them play video games when an alarm went off.
I made my way over to the monitors where the rest of the Autobots were.
"What's going on?" I asked
Ratchet turned towards us.
"It's an Autobot distress signal, that's coming from a ship that just entered earth's atmosphere," he turned back towards the monitors, "and from what I can tell it's been damaged… badly."
Optimus looked at the monitors, beside ratchet "any chances of survivors?"
Ratchet looked grim "the ship is falling vertically at high speeds, the chances of anyone on that ship being alive are, slim…I'm afraid that any injuries sustained from this crash will be…fatal"
There was silence throughout the base.
"Well there has to be something we can do, we can't just sit on our afts while somebot dies in a horrific crash!" piped up Smokescreen.
"I agree with smokes," I said.
Optimus looked at all of us. He opened his mouth to say something when Miko interrupted him.
"So a new Autobot is coming to earth? Cool!"
"no Miko, not cool, with the way things are looking, that Autobot will be coming to the base in a body bag, if we can't do anything to stop it!" said an irritated Arcee.
Optimus looked like he was going was going to say something when, again, he was interrupted by another alarm.
"three more ships have enters earth's atmosphere' only these ones aren't friendly." Said Ratchet
"Do you think they're responsible for putting that Autobot ship on ice?" asked Bulkhead.
"It's very likely, Bulkhead. Since this rescue mission has quickly turned dangerous, I want all the Autobots, except Ratchet, to come along," said Optimus.
Ratchet fired up the groundbridge and we all walked through.
The sight we were greeted with on the other side was scary to say the least. All the animals were fleeing to some place safe, as a severely damaged ship came hurtling towards us at a frightening pace.
"The ship is falling faster than I originally anticipated." Said Optimus.
"If we get anywhere near it we'll be crushed!" said an uneasy Arcee.
Suddenly a blue light started to surround the ship and it slowly levelled out, but it was still hurtling towards the ground at a terrifying speed.
"Ratchet, what is that light?" asked Optimus through the com link.
"Honestly Optimus, I don't know. The power level is off the charts, whatever it is; it was definitely not programed into the ship. It seems to be coming from the Cybertronian life form inside." Said a very confused Ratchet.
"Never mind that, look!" cried Smokescreen, as he pointed towards the ship, which hit the ground with a mighty crash!
All of us ran closer to the wreckage.
"Do you think they survived?" Arcee sounded grim.
Optimus didn't take his eyes off the destroyed ship.
"It's unlikely-"
*Bang!*
The groaning of metal interrupted him. We all looked round the ship for the source of the sound, when suddenly,
*Bang!*
"Hey guys, its coming from over here!" shouted Wheeljack.
We all went round the ship to where he was, to see the door bent at an awkward angle. It looked like something was hitting it from the other side. We waited for a bit and we heard an angelic voice say from the other side of the door,
"Stand back or you get flattened!"
We did as asked and moved away from the door when,
*Bang!*
The door came clean off the ship and crashed into the trees opposite.
Then… out stepped the most beautiful femme I had ever seen…
*AngelWings' POV*
My ship crashed into the ground and I was launched into the back wall of the warrior.
Slag it! My left wing had a huge dent in it which hurt like the pit, but I was thankful to survive the crash with nothing but a few dents and scratches.
I stood up on shaky legs and walked over to the door. I tried to pull it open, only to find it was jammed. Great (note the sarcasm).
There was only one thing for it… brute strength. I retracted my arm and leg blades into my subspace. I pulled my servo into a fist and reeled back then, with all the strength in my body, let it fly.
*Bang!*
There was a huge dent in the metal so I pulled my fist back and punched the door again.
*Bang!*
This was taking too long and I was getting frustrated. Then I heard voices on the other side of the door. I was about to punch the door again but I stopped myself.
What if they were Autobots? Yeah, great first impression, crushing an innocent bot with the door of my ship. They would definitely accept me then! (Again, note the sarcasm)
"Stand back or you get flattened!" I shouted.
I heard the shuffles of pedes outside the ship. When everything went quiet I roundhouse kicked the door and it came flying off the ship.
…wow…didn't know I had it I me!
I stepped out of the warrior only to have a blaster shoved In my faceplate.
Surprised, I jumped back and landed on my aft.
I got up quickly and brushed myself off.
"I meant to do that," I said smoothly.
I looked up to see that the blaster belonged to a blue femme, who had quite a few mechs behind her.
My eyes landed on a black and yellow mech, primus he's cute!
Woah! Where the pit did that come from? Bad AngelWings, bad! You just met the guy!
I was pulled from my thoughts when the tall blue and red mech spoke.
"What is your designation and affiliation?" (I don't know if that's the right word to use XD) damn his voice was deep!
I quickly scanned all the bots to see an Autobot symbol on each of them. Thank primus. I relaxed a little.
"My designation is AngelWings sir, and I'm an Autobot."
They all visibly relaxed.
"I am Optimus prime, leader of the Autobots, these are my team mates, Arcee," he gestured to the blue femme who still had her blasters at her side. Primus girl, lighten up!
"Bulkhead," the large green one waved at me, and I waved back.
"Bumblebee," he pointed to the black and yellow mech. Bumblebee's optics met mine. He turned away and blushed. Aww he's so adorable!
"My second in command, Ultra Magnus," another blue and red mech nodded at me in greeting, I smiled and nodded back.
"Wheeljack," he gestured to a green, red, and white mech. Wait! Are those swords on his back? That's cool, but my scythe, Death-Reaper, is cooler.
"And finally, Smokescreen." The silver, blue, and red mech smiled at me and I smiled back.
"It's very nice to meet you all," I said addressing all of them.
Ultra magnus turned to me "what got your ship in such a bad state, soldier?"
I sighed.
"On my way here I was ambushed by Decepticon bounty hunters. They shot at me and that sent my ship into earth's atmosphere…needless to say, my damaged ship couldn't handle the gravity…"
I trailed off sadly, placing my servo on my trusty ship.
"It meant that much to you?" said bumblebee, gesturing to my ship.
"Yes, it was made by my now deceased brother. It was the first…and last ship he ever made." I said sadly.
All the Autobots gave me a sympathetic look.
Optimus looked like he was going to say something, but he was cut off (poor Optimus, he seems to be getting cut off a lot today doesn't he? XD)when a searing pain ran through my left shoulder joint, dangerously close to my wings. (Which the Autobots didn't seem to have noticed yet) I bit my lip, so that I didn't scream. I did not want to seem weak in front of the Autobots.
I turned round the see the three Decepticon ships landing perfectly a little ways away from us.
Those slag-heads fragging shot me!
"Aww come on! How is it that those glitches land perfectly fine but my ship ends up fragging decimated?!"
The hatches opened on all of the ships, and about 30 Decepticons stepped out of each one. They all had things like servos and pedes replaced with hooks, claws, blades, and other torturous tools. I swear I saw a chainsaw in there somewhere too!
"Well, well, well…" said the ugliest "what do we have here?"
I let a feral growl pass my lips. (I'm not gonna call them dermas because it doesn't sound right to me)
"Such hostility, maybe we should teach you some manners" a loud cheer erupted from the Decepticons behind him.
I growled even louder until I sounded like a feral cyber-wolf. The Autobots looked shocked that I could make such a sound.
Ugly chose to ignore me and addressed the Autobots.
"Give us the femme and we will leave earth peacefully."
I turned towards the Autobots to see that they looked disgusted he would even suggest betraying one of their own kind. Honestly, I was somewhat surprised; bots on other planets would take one look at the bounty hunters and run for the hills, leaving me to fend for myself, but… not these bots. They barely know me and yet they still defend me. I felt my spark warm at the thought.
I looked back at ugly with a smirk plastered on my faceplate.
"You want me you aftpipes? Then come and get me!" with that I attacked.
I activated my arm and leg blades (if you want to know what they look like just look at the cover image, that is a picture of AngelWings) and ran at them.
About 15 'cons came at me at once. I dodged all their attacks and gave quite a few of my own. Suddenly an idea popped into my processer. I jumped and roundhouse kicked all the 'cons away from me and made a break for their ships.
As I was running, I felt a warm liquid flow down my shoulder joint. I reached back and when I brought my servo to my faceplate, I saw it was covered in energon. Then I felt a stabbing pain where my servo just was. That was when I remembered my injury, but I couldn't let that get in my way, so I ignored the pain and carried on running.
I jumped and landed on the largest ship in the middle. I ripped the engine cover off, transformed my right servo into a blaster, and waited…
The 'cons were still running towards me, but they still weren't close enough.
I snuck a peek at the Autobots, to see how they were doing, to see that they were each taking on a small group of 'cons.
Slag it! I needed all the 'cons over here for this to work. I had to get their attention somehow.
"Hey!" I shouted.
All the Decepticons looked at me.
"You call yourselves bounty hunters? You have let the same femme evade you for the last three solar cycles! You really are pathetic!"
That got their attention. They all abandoned the Autobots and came running at me with guns blazing and weapons brandished.
"Come on, come on. Just a bit closer…" I muttered
I looked to see that ugly was just standing there, waiting to see what would happen, and it didn't look like my taunting was doing anything. I'll deal with him later, right now the 'cons were getting a little too close for comfort.
"NOW!" I screamed. I activated my blaster and shot the engine causing it, and the other three ships, to blow. I jumped off the ship and ran as if Unicron himself was at my heals. I felt the heat of the explosion on my back struts (back) and heard the screams of the unfortunate 'cons that were caught up in the blast.
I looked at the Autobots to see that they were staring at me in awe.
I must look pretty badass right now, running away from an explosion.
I came to a halt a little ways away from Optimus. I smiled at the Autobots and some of them smiled back.
Suddenly Wheeljack's optics widened. "Kid, look out! Behind you!"
Quick as a flash I spun round and caught Ugly's fist centimetres away from my faceplate.
Ugly's Optics widened and I smirked at him. I squeezed as hard as I could, crushing his servo.
He screamed in pain and I kicked him in the chassis (chest) which sent him quite a ways away from me.
He cradled his useless servo to his chassis and transformed his good servo into a chainsaw, whilst giving me a look of pure rage.
I was just about to fight him when Wheeljack called out to me.
"Hey kid? Here!" he shouted as he threw his swords at me.
I picked them up and inspected them for a bit before I tossed them back to him. He looked confused.
"Thanks for the concern wheeljack, your swords are cool…, but my Death-Reaper is cooler."
With that, I threw my right arm out to the side, which triggered a secret compartment in my wrist joint to open and a small black tube to come shooting out and into my open servo. The tube elongated until it was taller than me, then a huge, curved blade materialized out the end of it…forming my scythe, Death-Reaper…
Out the corner of my optic, I saw wheeljack drop his swords in shock. I smirked getting into a fighting stance.
Ugly and I circled each other for a bit until I saw the glint of metal out the corner of my optic. I turned my helm slightly to see that all the Autobots had their weapons out and looked like they were about to join the fight.
"Put your weapons away and stay out of it," I said without looking at them, "this is my fight," with that I launched myself at ugly, swinging Death-Reaper as I did.
Our weapons clashed repeatedly, but I was mostly blocking. I kept my optics carefully trained on his form, checking for weaknesses or slip-ups.
It felt like an age until…there! He had put all his weight on his front leg. Big mistake.
I swept his front leg out from under him, which caused him to fall to the ground.
As he was falling, I swung my scythe.
…cutting him in half…
I flicked the energon from my scythe and put it back into my wrist compartment.
I turned towards the Autobots, expecting to see looks of horror and disgust on their faceplates but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they looked impressed, and wheeljack still hadn't picked up his swords, and if he had then he had dropped them again… in fact he seemed frozen altogether.
Optimus turned to me "let's get to base; we all have a lot of questions for you."
I was about to answer him when a piercing pain ran up my shoulder. That's right, I got shot earlier… I completely forgot!
I felt dizzy and my vision started to fade. I fell to the floor only to be caught by a pair of strong, warm arms. I looked up to see the bright baby blue optics of Bumblebee, and, for the first time in five solar cycles, I felt safe…
My last thought was about how much of an idiot I was to forget my injury.
…then, everything went black…
~~~3~~~
