CHAPTER 2: HARD WORK
PRESENT TIME, SEA OF RUST, CYBERTRON
The Force team was in the Sea of Rust. Their mission is to retrieve the Energons that the Decepticons stole a moment ago. The Autobots lost the track of the Decepticons when they lose the battle when on their way. Finally, they heard a voice from a facility. Jarrod try to deployed a drone to see what's going on inside. Unfortunately, the drone was caught by the Decepticons.
Barricade: Starscream, there's a drone flying around here
Starscream: Where!?
Barricade: There! (Pointing at the vent)
Starscream: Shoot it!
Then the Decepticons shoot it down. Jarrod start to think how to get in the facility. Until finally he ordered Shipmaster, Quake, and Streetrace to split up and go to each entrance. When they are on position he ordered them to plant the charges on the entrance.
Shipmaster: First charges ready!
Quake: Second chargers ready!
Streetrace: The last charges ready!
When all of the charges ready, he tell them to explode the charges. They start to explode the charges and begin to attacking the Decepticons inside the facility. But they're distracted by Starscream that start to speak…
Starscream: Stand down, Autobots. You left one of your friends in the ship, right?
Jarrod: How do you know?
Starscream: Put down your guns and I let your friend free
Jarrod: Guys, lower your guns
Starcream: Good… Now your friend only have one minute to live before your ship and your friend explode! HAHAHA!
Jarrod: Screw you, Starscream!
Then they get to the outside and transform. They drive all the way to their ship, when they reach the ship the only thing they see is nothing. There's only the ship full of explosive and no one's there.
Jarrod: Shit! We're trapped!
Shipmaster: What are we supposed to do now!?
Quake: We'll bring back Dread, follow me
Streetrace: Where are we going?
Jarrod: First thing we need to do is call the command center
Quake: Then call it, make it quick
Jarrod: I will. (Radio) This is Jarrod to base, do you hear me?
Blaster: Blaster right here, Jarrod. What do you need?
Jarrod: I need to talk to Optimus
Blaster: Let me check him, wait a minute
Jarrod: Sure…
(After a minute)
Optimus: This is, Optimus. What is it, Jarrod?
Jarrod: We need permission to chase our friend that has been captured by the Decepticons.
Optimus: Jarrod, I'll send you an extract to get home. For now, I will send the Special Forces to find your friend
Jarrod: *sigh* Understood, sir
Then after waiting a moment, finally their extraction team arrived. They extracted by their mentor, Jazz. When they got home, they quickly get to the command center to meet Optimus Prime.
Quake: I'm sorry, sir. We didn't get the Energons back…
Optimus: Apologize, accepted. For now the Energons doesn't matter, the only matter thing is to help your friend
Shipmaster: Do we have any other task besides that? Because you said, you will send the Autobots Special Forces to save him
Optimus: Yes, you have one more task. I need you to take back Kalis from the hand of Megatron
Quake: What kind of place is Kalis?
Optimus: Kalis was home of the Autobots resistance and situated above Megatron's stellar engines, but now Kalis is under Megatron's control
Shipmaster: Should we begin the task, sir?
Optimus: All of you can wait in the hangar because the Autobots army is still on their rooms
Jarrod: We will wait in the hangar, sir
Optimus: *nod* Good luck…
Then they go to the hangar to wait the others. They waiting in the hangar like 2 hours until finally the army arrived at the hangar. All of them start to get in the ship one by one. When they reach Kalis, they begin to jump from the ship and landed on the shadow.
Jarrod: Hey, Jazz. What's our plan?
Jazz: We're going to breach the west and east gate but not the main gate
Jarrod: Then what?
Jazz: Then we're going to clear the west and east zone. After that we going to the center zone that highly protected by the Decepticons, the last thing to do is your team going to blew up the engines under the city
Jarrod: Understood
Jazz: Magnus, the rest of the plan is yours
Ultra Magnus: Alright, listen up. We're going with two different teams, the first team will get to west zone and the second team will go with me to the east zone. Understood?
Jazz: You've heard him, now go!
Then they go as Ultra Magnus commanded. Jarrod and his friends got the east zone of Kalis. When they arrive at the gate, they saw about ten guards in front the gate.
Jazz: Shipmaster, use this. You will get the ability to be invisible, now go take them out
(Jazz gives Shipmaster a tool to be invisible)
Shipmaster becomes invisible when she uses it. She's walking so slowly to make less noise. When she reaches them, she turned off the tool and starts to kill them one by one until all of them are dead. When all of them have been terminated, they quickly run into Shipmaster position and help her opens the gate.
Jazz: (Radio) Jazz to Ultra Magnus, come in
Ultra Magnus: Magnus here, what is it, Jazz?
Jazz: We are already inside, waiting for your command…
Ultra Magnus: Clear the zone, Jazz and we regroup at the center of Kalis
Jazz: Understood…
They begin to attack the Decepticons. The Autobots try to not turn on the alarm. Jazz tell Quake to use his special ability to disable the alarm. He successful disables the alarm by using his special ability. In this battle, Jarrod show no mercy to the Decepticons because they have been captured his friend. He rips every single Decepticons mercenaries head off, shoot them in the head, and stab his sword right at the Decepticons soldier chest. They have succeeded to clear the east zone, and proceed to the center of Kalis. When they reach there, Magnus's team is already there.
Ultra Magnus: Jarrod! Here's the hatch that going into the stellar engines!
Jarrod: We're coming!
(Open the hatch)
Jazz: Hey, buddy. We're going to defend all of you from up here! Try your best to blow up the engines!
Jarrod: Alright!
Then Jarrod and his friends get inside the hatch and make their way into the engines core. They fought a lot of the Decepticons soldiers even inside the tunnel. Finally they reach the core, they start to set the explosive in every single spot.
Jarrod: (Radio) Sir! , the explosive is ready!
Ultra Magnus: Good work! Now get up here we cannot-
Jarrod: Something's wrong up there…
Jarrod and his friends quickly turn to vehicle mode and drive into the first place they get in. On the other side, the Autobots is already outnumbered on the battle. The Autobots needs a reinforcement to claim Kalis back.
Jazz: (Radio) this is Jazz to base, come in!
Optimus: Jazz, this is Prime. What's the situation out there?
Jazz: We are outnumbered out here! We need reinforcement!
Optimus: I've already sent them, they are on their way onto Kalis
Jazz: Thanks, Prime!
Then Jazz and the others try to survive until the reinforcement arrives. They try to defend their self and the hatch even there's a lot of soldiers that must be sacrificed. Jarrod's team finally reaches the hatch door and quickly helps them to attack the Decepticons. A boss battle can't be avoided, now Grindor and Blackout join the battle against the Autobots. All of them try to take down those two but it's impossible. Finally Jarrod and Jazz make a plan, Jazz try to run to the right with Jarrod, when they reach the marked position, Jazz use his grapple to throw Jarrod into them. The result is… Grindor and Blackout killed by Jarrod that use his sword when he threw by Jazz and cuts off their heads. Jarrod quickly run back to the Autobots position because the reinforcement has arrived. They are not there to help them claim Kalis from the Decepticons, but they're there to bring all of them back home with their warship.
Jazz: Why are we going home, Bee?
Bumblebee: Optimus ordered us to take all of you back to Iacon
Jarrod: So how about my friend that has been captured?
Bumblebee: Sorry, Jarrod… We've found him, but he's not him anymore…
Jarrod: What does that mean?
Bumblebee: He's becoming… A Decepticons…
Jarrod: No way…
Finally they reach Iacon and quickly report their mission progress to Optimus Prime.
Quake: Sir, we didn't succeed the mission…
Optimus: It doesn't matter, Kalis can wait for another time
Jazz: What happened to Dreadtanker?
Optimus: I'll explain that later. For now I can only say, I appreciate your hard work to claim back Kalis from the Decepticons
Jarrod: Thanks, sir. We're leaving the room
Optimus: Until that day come, Jarrod. We will bring your friend back to home
Jarrod: Yes, sir…
The Autobots has return to home, but on the other side, the Decepticons has a plan to destroy the Autobots…
Megatron: Soldier, are you ready for your first task?
Unknown: Yes, I'm ready, Lord Megatron
Megatron: Great…
