We will fight to the death
To the Edge of the Earth
It's a brave new world from the last to the first
"Left, left!" Mikaela yelled as the vehicon swerved dangerously close to her leg. Jynx did her best to give them a nudge or two back, but with her charge on board, it was nearly impossible.
*Prowl to Jynx come in.*
*Frag it all!* Jynx snarled as the con on the left his her rear wheel. *Prowl come in!*
*What is your status?*
Though he replied in an equable manner, she could hear the tension rising in his voice.
*I'm about sixty miles north of you, in a town call Jasper* she said veering left on to the highway again, *Currently, I'm neck deep in scrap! Two vehicons found Mikaela and I.*
Make a sharp turn, Jynx entered the desert, ignoring her charges angered yells. She slowed to hide in a relatively enclosed area.
*We're safe for now, but ... ahhhh!*
The pair had found her and managed to hit her in the rear end, hard! Feeling her back end get lifted into the air, she changed mid-flip, catching Mikaela in her hands, before landing.
"Mikaela run," she yelled, setting the girl down, and grabbed her electro-staff, as shots rained down. Mikaela, shaking off any nausea, heeded at once and sprinted for the nearest boulder. Avoiding stray shots and chucked of rocks, she slid behind a crevice peered over the edge.
In any given situation, Jynx knew being outnumbered was a bad thing, but frag it all she was Wrecker, and would live up to that namesake. With a quick grunt, she blocked one of their jabs and returned it in kind with a right hook. Sparks flew into the air, as metal scraped against metal. As her ped (foot) made to round house on the con's in the face plates, one of the grabbed it, and with a twist flipped Jynx to the ground. As she landed with an echoing crash, the 'con swung her around and let her fly into the cliffs. Slightly dazed, Jynx looked to the cons marching towards her, cannons out.
"Aw scrap." She muttered. But the 'cons never got the chance to dismember her. Blue energon shots came and hit the two. Jynx looked to see what had him them, and sighed as her apparent calvary arrived. Another femme, light blue plating highlighted with pink, was rushing in head first cannons alight. Pushing off any stray boulders, she grabbed her staff and joined the brawl. Meanwhile Jack, skirting along the edges of the canyon, found Mikaela.
"Hey!" he said waving his arms, "Get over here?"
Mikaela found the boy, what was his name? Jordan, Jason? She hadn't realized how close he had gotten till he began pulling her out of the crevice.
"Are you out of you mind? We'll become human pancakes if we leave," she yelled as the ground rumbled beneath their feet.
"Better than being shot at or crushed by rocks!" he pointed out.
"Either way we'd be dead!" she yelled, "And how the hell do you know about the Autobots!?"
"Seriously! You're asking me this now?" Jack hollered back incredulously. But a stray blast narrowing missed them, and Mikaela decided to agree.
"Okay, Genius," she snapped as they ran out of the crevice, "What's your plan?"
"That!" he yelled. And to her complete amazement, a blue portal like thing appeared in mid-air and yellow and black bot zoomed out, and hit the closest con. Grabbing her hand, the pair ran into the portal, and the last thing Mikaela saw was Jynx crashing the con into the ground.
...
*Her beacon is located about half a klick to the North.* Jazz said as he zoomed down the highway.
*Good. Something tells me we are not the only bots on this planet.* Prowl replied as his light flashed. Being a human law enforcement vehicle appeared to have its advantages, as many of the humans moved out of his way when they spotted him in there mirrors.
*You talking 'bout Prime's message?* Jazz asked, *I thought 'bots would get it?*
*If the Decepticons lived up to their name, I have the thought that they would have intercepted the call and likely waited here as well, ready to capture any bot that was lured to Earth by Prime's call.* Prowl replied dryly. The comm was silent for a moment while Jazz rolled these things through his processor.
*Ya know man, sometimes you scare about how accurate you are about the things you guess about.*
*So you have told me Jazz, so you have told me.*
...
Jynx watched the cons sped into the open land, fleeing the bots effort to deactivate their sparks. It was the need to know where Mikaela was that stopped her from chasing their sorry afts and pummeling them some more. Reattaching the staff to her hip plates, she turned to the bots behind her.
"Thanks for the assist."
The yellow bot beeped a 'your welcome' back at her, while the femme stood still and merely nodded.
"Now that the pleasantries are over, where is Mikaela?"she asked, trying hard not to sound irritated.
"Oh, they are back at base," the Yellow bot said, "we can take you there."
"Fine."
"Ratchet, can we get a ground bridge?" the femme said opening her comm. Ground bridge? Was that anything like...
The appearance of a swirling vortex of energon answered her question immediately. Following the pair, she ran through the bridge, and was pleased to feel the familiar rumble vibrating through her.
...
There was something oddly pleasing to Barricade when he spied his scouts and other foot soldiers scamper in the other direction when passing by. Clearly his reputation as Decepticon commander still lingered in their processors. May it stay that way, he thought savagely to himself. The doors to the control decked opened to reveal the Leader of the Decepticons himself. Beside him stood the sniveling seeker, Lieutenant Starscream. Oh joy.
"Barricade." Megatron hissed, as the Land commander kneeled before the decepticon Lord. "I had wondered if you survived the Battle of Necronix."
"Indeed my Lord." Barricade said, lowering his head, "I landed here, upon pursuing autobot scum, and discovered that you were here. I return once more to offer my services."
"Master you cannot be seriously considering this, this, this cretin's aid!" Starscream spluttered.
"I will also remind you I was the most loyal officer under you command." Barricade replied smoothly, his ruby optics raising to meet Megatron's.
"You left in the middle of the battle, where the Autobots destroyed many important refineries and soldiers!"
"I remember indeed, Starscream" the Decepticon said, "And yet, I welcome your aid back."
"Thank you my liege." Barricade said lowering his head.
"But, ever leave the battlefield again," Megatron hissed, placing a clawed digit under Barricades face plates, "I will crush your very spark."
"Understood my lord." he said. As the gargantuan Leader left, Barricade turned to the second in command, and cracked his neck joints.
"Miss me 'Screamer?"
Yay finally another chapter! Can't wait to start writing the next one! Enjoy!
