Right now, I"m trying to set everything up for the main event. Then, Ada will take the main stage. Also, I'm trying to incorporate as much of the original Transformers series into the story, hence all of the new characters actually being most of the original ones from 1985. Enjoy.

AN: A reviewer pointed out that I had actor Jon Voight's name instead of JOHN KELLER, which is the character name. It's now been fixed. Thanks!

Transformers: Allied Front

"So you're telling me that we may have another battle on our hands?" Secretary of Defense John Keller asked Optimus Prime. The Autobot leader nodded.

"Three new Decepticons have arrived on Earth and taken forms," he said. "However, four of our comrades have landed as well. They have taken these forms:"

Acree, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and Whirl transformed into vehicle mode so that the US Military and personel could memorize their forms. They changed back after a while.

"Very well then, what about the Decepticons?" John asked. "Any idea what they are?"

"Sir, I may have some information regarding them," a US Air Force pilot piped up. He stepped forward. "Last night we saw three meteors land nearby our airbase. We quickly scrambled our jets just in case there were more alien robots, but turned up nothing. However, after checking the flight logs, I noticed that three aircraft were unaccounted for in the hangers. When we searched the base, we found the YF-23 hanger was broken into, and large footprints exiting the area."

John nodded thoughtfully. "Good work soldier, good work," he said, saluting the man. The pilot saluted back and left to resume his post. "So, we've got three unfriendly jets. Three highly-advanced, nuclear missile-toting unfriendly jets. Great, just perfect!"

He looked up at Optimus. "I don't suppose you'd like our help with this?" he asked. The Autobot commander nodded.

"While we could easily fight any Decepticon other than Megatron, your military and government could help with the fight, and cover it up as well," he sagely said. John agree with him. "If you could loan us the soldiers we fought with last week, I believe that they could be of some great help."

John scratched his chin. "Well, Captain Lennox is on well-deserved R&R with his wife and daughter," he said. "You'll have to ask the man yourself. As for Staff Sgt. Epps, I'm sure he'd be all for it. Let me get him on the horn."

Several phone calls later, John returned. "He's on board and eager to get into a fight," he told the pleased robots. "He's at the Los Angeles Air Force Base not too far away from the city. If you'd like, I could have you all cargo-jetted there so you don't spend too much time on the road."

"We would appreciate that John," Optimus said. John reached out and they shook hand to finger.

"This is so cool, my life finally isn't boring any more!" Sam said excitedly as they sat in the cargo bay of the C-5 Galaxy cargo jet with the Autobots. With all the Autobots in robot form, it was quite cramped, and Sunstreaker was constantly complaining that he was chipping his paint.

Mikaela leaned on his shoulder and yawned. "Nothing like saving the world again," she said tiredly. "I'm gonna take a nap."

"Okay, I'll wake you up when we're there babe," Sam said, kissing her forehead. She smiled and nodded off. He looked over to Ada. She had redressed, and was wearing a tight black skirt that reached her midthighs with black lace leggings on her long, long legs. She was probably taller than Mikaela, and Mikaela was a couple inches taller than he was! She also had what basically looked like a black corset with a pink bra on top, accentuating her generous bust and tightly curved waist. She had some heavy mascara on her eyes and lightly dusted on some makeup. She wore a black lace choker that covered her entire neck, and looked Victorian in design. She also wore gloves of the same look, that appeared to have been stolen from some $10,000 dress or something. Her hair was up in a ponytail, but her long bangs remained covering her left side of her face. She wore some dark red lipstick and Sam spied a small beauty mark under the corner of her eye. She was smokin' hot, but Mikaela was hotter in his opinion.

"So you're from NY right?" Sam asked, making conversation. She nodded.

"Yeah, from the center," she replied. "My parents were typical rich snobs, and of course, their princess daughter must be rebellious and wild. I always used to skip school, ride my bike and hang out with guys like, twice my age."

"Okay then," Sam said, nodding his head. "Right, like that's not freaky at all."

She rolled her eyes at him. "Yeah, I'm not a Slut-Punk alright?" she warned him. Bumblebee chuckled in the background.

"Well damn, shit's hit the fan again?" Epps asked as he trudged over, toting his M4 rifle. He greeted the Autobots and humans he knew. "Hey, there more of you now!"

"Meet Acree, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and Whirl," Optimus introduced. The Autobots waved to him, looking around the airbase curiously. In return, all of the soldiers and personel were staring or downright gawking back at them.

"Nice ta meet you, nice ta meet you," he said, waving at each. "So, what's the situation? I heard there was a few more of the bad guys landing not too far away from here."

"That's correct Sgt., we're dealing with three more enemies who are attempting to contact their allies," John said, saluting the Air Force combat controller. "Optimus Prime here tells me that they may stage another attack or attempt to retrieve their fallen leader."

"While sinking Megatron into the sea is a good idea, we must remember that the undercurrents can be quite powerful, and may take him anywhere for quite a distance before he hits the bottom," Optimus said. "I do not truly believe that the Allspark destroyed him, it may have put him in a state similar to your comas. For all we know, he could be revived by the Decepticons again."

"But if that Allspark is destroyed, then what business he got here?" Epps asked.

"Revenge," Optimus said grimly. "Against me, against Sam and especially against the humans because he can. Megatron is ruthless. He must be stopped completely, and reduced to scrap metal!"

Epps nodded his head. He paced around for a moment before looking up at the Autobots. "Hell, I'm in," he said. "Nothin' like a lil' bit of actiony'know? Hey, chopper boy!"

Whirl walked forward. "What's up?" he asked, leaning down to the soldier.

"Think I could ride in you?" he asked. "I flew a US Marines SeaCobra a few years back, you're not that much different I think."

Whirl looked to Optimus, who nodded. "Sure, no problem!" he said. "I hope you got a strong stomach though."

Epps' smile was wiped off his face. "Why, what for?"

They all began to head back to the C-5, intent on visiting William Lennox's home. "Hey man, whaddya mean I need a strong stomach? Hey! Hey!"

-----

"Honey? Honey!" Sarah Lennox shouted from the kitchen. "There's like, a dozen cars outside and the Army!"

"What?" Will asked, running down the stairs. He came up behind his wife and daughter, looking out the window. He saw the familiar forms of the Autobots, and several new vehicles. A gunship hovered overhead, and he saw the Secretary of Defense and Sgt. Epps walking up to his door with Sam and Mikaela and some punk/goth girl behind them. "Shit!"

"Are you in trouble?" Sarah asked in panic. "Is this about that secret battle that happened last week? Will? Will?"

"Captain Lennox, we're terribly sorry to interrupt your vacation," John said as he entered the house with the others and a full contingent of guards. "But we have a problem."

"With - uh - me sir?" Will asked nervously. John shook his head to Will's relief.

"Oh God no son, you'll be getting a Medal of Honor soon, no the trouble is elsewhere if you understand my meaning," John answered, tilting his head to the Autobots in disguise outside. Will suddenly nodded in comprehension.

"Oh, oh, OH!" he said in recognition. "More of them? Or just the same ones?"

"Come outside, we'll explain everything there," John said, beckoning Will out the door. "Your lovely girls can come too, there's no need for secrecy at the moment."

"Will, what?" Sarah asked, clutching Mary to her chest. Her husband placated her, and also made their daughter giggle.

"Everything's fine, don't worry, I'm not in trouble," he said. "Wait till you see what happens next!"

"Good thing you're living in the country now," John commented as they walked out into the wide area in front of his house. "Hardly anyone out here. Hey, you can all come out now!"

Sarah looked around skeptically, expecting to see like some Special Ops or Navy SEALS pop out of nowhere. She totally wasn't expecting the cars and trucks to suddenly transform into giant robots. She clutched Mary in shock and put a hand to her mouth in silent terror. Will grabbed her to prevent her from running away, which she desperately wanted to.

"It's okay honey, it's OKAY," he told her. "These are the Autobots, alien robots from space. They're our allies."

"Greetings," the big red and blue truck-robot said, waving at her.

"H-hi," she squeaked. Mary giggled and stretched her arms out to Acree, who smiled and waggled her fingers at the human baby. She turned to her husband.

"This was what happened in Los Angeles, wasn't it?" she asked him. "All the explosions, giant footprints and rumors? It really was aliens!"

"Alien robots!" Epps added in helpfully. "Your husband was a damn hero ma'am, he saved a lot of lives that day. That's why we need him now, cuz it might happen again."

Sarah looked at Will and placed her hand on his cheek. He smiled at her. "Sarah, if you say no, I won't move a foot," he said seriously.

She took a deep breath and looked up at the metal titans, who looked back at her with warm looks. Could robots even have warm looks? "Will, sweetie," she said, shaking her head. "From what I can tell, you've had experience fighting these things. You should go, you have to go."

He nodded and pulled her in for a kiss, and gave Mary a kiss on the forehead. "I'll be back. You know I will."

She smiled sadly at him. "I know," she said. "But at least give me a call once in a while, kay?"

"You know it. I love you."

"Love you too. Say bye to daddy Mary! Say bye bye!"

"Our lord was destroyed by Prime and that human, LADIESMAN217!" Barricade shouted, angrily slamming his wheeled fist into the ground. He was reunited with the drone Scorponok with the help of his newly-arrived comrades, Dirge, Ramjet and Thrust, who had taken on the forms of an experimental fighter/bomber jet. While a powerful vehicle and form for them all, they were immense cowards in Barricade's alloy-organic eyes.

"We must find our fallen lord, revive him and destroy those pitiful Autobots and their fleshling toys!" Barricade thundered, slamming his fist down again. Scorponok chirped and screeched in agreement.

"I wish to disembowel the humans who removed my tail!" was his Cybertronian translation. "And for destroying Blackout, my carrier! They shall pay!"

"They will all pay, but especially LADIESMAN217 for killing our lord!" Barricade hissed, his red eyes glowing brighter. "And I know exactly how to do it!"

The Decepticons all gathered around the Ford Mustang enforcer as he projected a hologram image of a gorgeous young girl with deep blue eyes.

-----

"Remember what I told you when you were on the tow truck?" Will asked Sam as they sat in the cargo jet.

Sam nodded. "Yeah. 'You're a soldier now'," he said with a remniscant smile. It was wiped off his face when Will set an M4 in his arms. "Whoa, hey!"

"We gotta do our part," Will said gravely. "Don't let your big friends do all the work."

"If I remember it right, I happen to recall running up a ten story building to light a flare, dodge a helicopter that was blowing up in my face and got thrown off said building by a giant human-hating robot," Sam said belligerently. "I think I've done my part!"

"Oh stop being a baby," Mikaela teased. "Besides, you look pretty good with that gun!"

"Really?" Sam asked. hefting the M4 in his arms. He didn't know much about guns, but it definitely had a grenade launcher on the bottom, and some sort of scope on top. Mikaela nodded enthusiastically.

Thanks, Will mouthed to her with a wink as Sam began to play with his rifle. He turned back around and began to teach Sam how to use it. The Autobots watched this with amusement.

"Though small, they are quite brave for wanting to join our fight," Ratchet said thoughtfully. "Though I suppose it is Sam's fight as well."

"There are more than meets the eye to these humans," Optimus said wisely. "It would be unwise to underestimate them. Captain Lennox and his team destroyed Blackout on their own using their weapons. They can definitely hold their own."

"I hope I can be of some use," Acree said, holding out her weapon. It looked like a bow. "This Energon-disruption bow is all I have."

"It will do you well," Ironhide said sagely. "Especially if you strike your enemies in the Spark. Do not doubt your skills or equipment."

"I won't."

-----

"I detect a faint trace of Energon from this area," Ramjet announced. He and his brothers were semi-transformed, using their legs (which were also their twin jet engines) to hover above the toiling sea as they carried both Scorponok and Barricade. "I am almost certain that our lord is down there."

"Scorponok, go!" Barricade ordered. "Retrieve our lord, but be mindful of the freezing waters!"

"Understood, diving now!" Scorponok said, leaping off of Dirge and plunging into the sea. He used his rotating pincers and body to propel himself into the water. Now, the Decepticons could only wait. Well, wait on nearby land, since three hovering jets and a car out at sea would be terribly suspicious to the humans. They flew back.

-----

"Sir!" John's aide called him frantically. "Sir, we've detected massive RAD readings from the disposal site of Megatron's body!"

"What?!" John sputtered, running over to the sonar station in The Pentagon. "Tell me everything!"

"Just moments ago, a large power signature was detected about a mile underneath the water," the aide explained. "With such a large reading, we knew it had to be a robot sir. We're dispatching submarines to the area in an attempt to head Megatron off and destroy him."

"I want every damn naval ship at that location, and I mean now!" John ordered as men and woman rushed to follow his orders. "God damn it, none of the Autobots are naval-capable, so we'll have to fly 'em to a carrier. Get them to the nearest one ASAP! I also want Sgt. Epps and Whirl to fly out there to see what the hell is going on! Now people!"

-----

"Looks like the shit's hitting the fan," Epps said as he climbed into Whirl's front seat of the cockpit. He strapped himself in. "No crazy flying, got it? I'm only human ya know!"

"Fine, fine," Whirl sulked as he started to take off. "No acrobatics, got it. Well, let's get a move on!"

He pitched forward and Epps gripped the joysticks tightly, knowing that no normal gunship could fly this fast. "Damn man, what are you runnin' on, ethanol fuel?" he whined.

"Energon, more like it," Whirl responded, using his sensor dome in the nose to look around. "I gotta say, your sensors are pretty interesting. Night vision, heat vision, radar, not bad for your time."

"Well, give us another hundred years or so, maybe we'll have our own giant fighting robots," Epps replied, checking out the scenery. "Whoa, tree!!"

"I know, I saw it," Whirl said nonchalently, zipping above the tree he was almost going to hit. "Calm down, jeez. I am an advanced biomechanical life-form you know!"

"Right, sorry," Epps said sarcastically. "Shit, we there already?"

They were indeed now flying over the sea, where a few aircraft carriers, frigates and a destroyer were patrolling a single area. They flew over, relaying friendly communications. Whirl hovered around the area where Megatron was dumped, and scanned for energy signs.

"Oh yeah, the big guy is down there somewhere," he said worriedly. "When are the others getting here?"

"Uh, I heard they were getting airlifted by Seakings, so maybe an hour or so?" Epps answered.

"Not fast enough!" Whirl panicked, popping up a bit. "Open the line and tell the Navy to be on alert! Megatron is going to surface somewhere, and soon!"

Epps jumped into action. He grabbed the mic and opened the gobal military line. "All units be prepared to engage the extremely hostile enemy!" he shouted into the mic. "Everyone go on Defcon Delta, weapons hot, sabot rounds in your canons! All aircraft, get into the Goddamn air and fly some Goddamn CAP! This big motha fucka is coming back for a rematch!"

"HERE HE COMES!" Whirl shouted, drawing Epps' attention. A spot of water left of the small fleet was churning rapidly, giving off boiling heat as something red and glowing was rising underneath it quickly.

"Enemy spotted!" Epps screamed into the mic. "Position: North-North-East! Range from USS Bainsbridge is about one point five miles! All weapons stations open fire on that area!"

Canon and artillery fire pummelled the area as it was completely lit up. Many huge explosions caused great geysers of water to rise, and the Navy continued to shell the area for ten minutes straight. Finally, the firing stopped as they either overheated their guns or ran out of ammunition and Whirl and Epps looked at where Megatron was thought to be. The water was calm. "Did we get him?"

"Not a chance," Whirl replied tersely, bringing his Sidewinder missiles online.

Microseconds later, a huge shape burst out of the water, flying too fast for the ships' anti-aircraft Phalanx guns as they spewed out 20mm rounds. Megatron's Cybertronian jet form dodged missiles easily as it fired deadly bursts of energy blasts at the USS Bainsbridge, destroying it completely within seconds. Soon, entire squadrons of fighter jets began pursuing the Decepticon leader, with Scorponok visible on his back. F/A-18 Hornets, F/A-18 Superhornets, F-14 Tomcats and newly commissioned F-35 Lightning IIs began their assault on Megatron, firing missiles and canon-fire as they tried to down the giant fighter. Megatron merely turned the tide on them, transforming one of his side strakes into his clawed arm and ripping any fighter nearby to shreds. After about ten minutes of fighting and taking a few hits, Megatron finally hit his overboost and dissapeared far off into the horizon.

"Damn!" Epps shouted, slamming his fist into the dash. Whirl slapped him in the balls with the joystick.

"Hey, I can feel that you know!" he said as the Sgt. grabbed his nuts and moaned. "Come on, we should get back."

-----

"So, Megatron is still alive," Optimus said heavily. "This is not good. While heavily damaged, he will still have a massive power boost because of the Allspark's energy. He only needs to be repaired, and then he will be stronger than ever."

"So, so, so what do we do?" Sam asked, hefting the M4 that was strapped to his back. "I mean, we beat him once before right? We can do it again!"

"It's not that easy kid," Ironhide said, crossing his massive arms. "Megatron on normal was a damn powerful opponent, but now with the Allspark's power? Not even Optimus could beat him in a straight-up fight."

"Thanks for the encouragement, old friend," Optimus said with a wry smile. "Ironhide is right, however. We must think of a new tactic."

"What about nuclear weapons?" John asked. "Would one of those take him out?"

"Yes, but it would require a direct hit to his chest area which houses his Spark," Ratchet explained. "And... I don't think anything under a hundred megatons would do the job."

Will whistled. "And we clearly don't have anything that can fly fast enough to hit Megatron that's a hundred megatons," he said. "Will a nearby detonation work?"

Ratchet shook his head. "It would merely disrupt his Energon levels drastically, but not kill him," he replied. "And a nuclear explosion would be extremely harmful if used on land, which is where he will definitely be."

"So nukes are ruled out," Epps said. "Damn, if only we had like, a gigantic sniper rifle or something. Some kinda big ass gun with high velocities."

"What about a rail gun?" Sam asked, making everyone look at him. "I mean yeah, they're only in video games and movies and crap, but you guys surely have something like that, right? You know, Metal Gear Solid? Anyone know that? Anyone?"

Optimus stroked his faceplate. "If we were to join together and design this 'rail gun' then perhaps it could work, if made to be operated by an Autobot," he said. "It's possible."

John laughed. "Only problem is that our best rail gun is the size of a Boeing 747 and takes fifteen minutes to charge," he said.

"We could probably help them along with the technology," Ironhide pointed out. "I mean, most of theirs was derived from Megatron, so it should be fine."

While the adults and humanoid robots conversed, Sam, Mikaela and Ada were wandering around the Pentagon, having gotten bored with all the big words and coded speech. They found the cafeteria quickly and sat down to a much-needed lunch.
