Chapter 3: Sentinel's Defeat
Behind the Palace, more Autobots were guarding its entrance gate. At the Autobots' Armory, Bulkhead and Wheeljack armed themselves with their guns, grenades and blades, preparing for the battles. News had reached them that Decepticons had planned the massive invasion invading Iacon City for the Alpha Key that Sentinel Zeta Prime held with him.
Wheeljack grunted angrily, held his grenade tightly in front of him, "Can't believe this is happening." Bulkhead turned to Wheeljack, wondering of what had happened to him. Wheeljack explained, "We actually looking after of that sorry butt of the Prime? What an excuse, and wasting Wreckers' resources and effort."
Concern, Bulkhead breathed deeply, yet he knew his best friend was right about Sentinel Zeta Prime, all he did was hid behind the walls, even though he led the rebellion against the Quintessons. He said, "Sorry Jackie."
Wheeljack grunted, while waving off, "Hey, don't sorry about it. In fact, we're partners. We'll work together to deal with these Decepti-creeps!"
Impressed, Bulkhead smiled, "I guess you're right about it. Besides, we break those punks down before. We can do it again."
Wheeljack smirked, "You betcha. And you know what Wreckers said? They don't call for backup."
Wheeljack and Bulkhead had their right hands slapped and clasped hard and cried together, "They'd call for the backup!"
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The siren went off, with its glowing and flashing red. Most of Autobots looked up, and stared at the speaker. They knew the battle had come. Bulkhead and Wheeljack looked at each other. They gave a nod. They were ready; ready for the war.
At the former peaceful and tranquility Iacon City, Decepticons invaded the Autobot's City, attacking and battling against their enemies to the ground. Decepticons Warships blasted their canons and guns at the Autobot Ground Units to pieces. Their tanks blasted their canons at the Autobots as well. More Decepticons' Vehicons charged at their enemies; some blasted their guns and blasters, and others swung, pierced and thrust their blades at their enemies.
Autobots fought back by firing their guns and canons at the Decepticons. Some swung and pierced their blades against them. Other used the superior weapons to fight back. They used their Armada Tanks, Warships and Turrets in firing at the Decepticons' warships. The war continued to be bloody and destructive...
On the distant platform to Iacon City's Palace, a Decepticon Warship landed on the platform. Its gate opened, launching hundreds of Decepticon Soldiers out from it. They held their weapons tightly. The Fallen, Megatron and Soundwave came out from it as well. They saw both Knockout and Breakdown; who were informed to be readied for their masters' arrivals, kneed and and bowed before them. Upon their masters' passing by, Knockout and Breakdown stood up and looked at them.
"Lord Megatron, it is an honor to see you here," Knockout said. He then glanced at The Fallen, who snarled lightly and glaring at the Iacon City's Palace. He huffed, "Someone sure knows how to be rude."
Megatron growled angrily at the startled Knockout, "Show some respect to my advisor and master, Knockout. He is the key to our victory. And I expect nothing less of it."
Knockout breathed deeply, hated Megatron to tell him something about, said, "As you wish, Lord Megatron."
Knockout bowed before The Fallen, who smirked in impress and glad.
"I had the information too." Megatron glanced at Knockout, who continued, "Breakdown and I did some recon and we found it. It's from Stellar Gallery."
Megatron smirked evilly, knew that Knockout did some good job. He placed on his right auditory sensor comlink, "Dreadwing, I need you and Starscream keep the enemy front line at bay, at all cost."
"Understood, Lord Megatron," said Dreadwing.
"Rest assured, master, Decepticon's Victory will be secured," said Starscream.
Megatron had his eyes rolled up, "You'd better hope you're not failing. Megatron out." ZAP! Megatron turned to his remaining Decepticons, "Let us go. Your objective is clear. We must find the Key to Vector Sigma. The Fallen must be protected at all cost."
The Fallen smirked evilly. Soundwave and Breakdown nodded their heads, as well as Vehicons.
Knockout gasped, "And why is it important?! And especially, why must we protect The Fallen? I'm sure his powers can destroy them with just one blow."
The Fallen turned and glared at Knockout. "Because, Knockout -" The Fallen raised his both hands, surged by purplish electrical lightning, glaring at Knockout, "- Using too much of Dark Energon of mine could be evaporated and I will be destroyed. Megatron's chance of destroying his enemies will be in vain! Controlling the Core will be in vain! Everything we work will be in vain!"
His tone slowly changed, "DO YOU UNDERSTAND A WORD I HAD SAID?!"
The Fallen's anger voice sent a shiver to Knockout's spine. He gulped, frightened in speaking: "Under - stood..."
The Fallen smirked, "Good boy." He turned to Megatron, with his demonic smile, and asked: "You know what to do."
Megatron bowed, "Yes, my master." He turned to his minions, "Decepticons, Storm the Stellar Gallery!"
Vehicons charged out. Megatron and Breakdown headed out. Knockout and Soundwave remained with The Fallen for further protection.
Two to three Vehicons headed straight to the back entrance, but instead, they had their chests and heads blasted. Megatron and his minions hid behind the walls, pillars and boxes from the blasts and sniping. Breakdown took a peak, looking on top of the building. There were five to ten Autobots, aiming their sniping guns at their targets. At the entrance, more Autobots charged out and blasted their guns and canons at their enemies.
Breakdown ducked down, mumbled: "Damn it! Shouldn't Dreadwing and Starscream have those bots occupied?! By the look of it, we are trapped!"
Megatron groaned angrily, "The Autobots are not so foolish to let their precious Gallery to be unguarded. But no matter..." He came out from the pillar. He blasted his Fusion Canon at two of Autobots. He shouted: "Destroy them all!"
Breakdown came out charged in. Decepticon Troopers or Vehicons charged in, blasting at their enemies at the front side. Both Knockout and Soundwave blasted their guns from distance at the snipers, along with their Decepticon Snipers. The Fallen watched the battlefield carefully.
Megatron dodged the swinging blades from three Autobots before he slashed on their upper torsos, heads and hands. Megatron launched his Fusion Canon at four Autobots to the ground. Breakdown slammed his hammer against some Autobots while shooting his gun at three to five Autobots. Soundwave sniped his gun at three Autobot Sniper, and Knockout did the same as well by using his Missile Launcher. Autobots and Decepticons fired their guns and swinging their blades against each other.
For the moment passing by, shorten the forces, Autobots were forced to withdraw and back to Iacon City's Palace. Megatron had lost some of his Vehicons about 10 of them. Megatron, Breakdown and some Vehicons advanced ahead. The Fallen climbed downstairs; Soundwave, Knockout and five Vehicons followed him.
Megatron and his team blasted their guns against some of Autobots, and swung their swords and spears agianst them as well. They continued travelling the long road of the city's street.
Some Autobots hid within the shadows or walls, preparing to kill The Fallen. They charged in and attacked. Soundwave using his bare hands and tentacles, fought back and killed two to four Autobots. Knockout used his gun blasted at the enemies. The Fallen dodged and moved back, away from five Autobots' swinging blades. The Fallen had unsheathed the swords from both of his gauntlets; swing their heads off or slashing on their chests hard.
Arriving at its third sector area, Megatron and his team blasted and shot all of the Autobots to the ground hard or fell off the cliff. The Autobots were pushed to the entrance door hard out. Megatron and his team exited out of the entrance. They looked up and found more of Autobots Fighters and Aerialbots shot down by Seeker and Decepticons Fighters. Some were blown out. Other hit on the ground or even the buildings. The buildings and cities broke into pieces and destroyed.
Megatron smirked in pleased. The Autobots were losing to them. BEEP! Megatron answered the call, and found the familiar voice.
"Lord Megatron," Dreadwing said, "I've brought great news. Starscream had tested the Dark Energon Bomb. They are very effective as you had predicted."
Megatron chuckled evilly, "Excellent work, Dreadwing. Continue your work, occupy the enemies as much as you can. And keep an eye on Starscream."
"At once, Lord Megatron. Dreadwing out."
ZAP! Megatron turned and waved his troopers moving out. He and his army of Decepticon continued their walking, venturing across hallway of cities, while shooting and slashing at some of Autobots, coming out and ambushing on the Decepticons, though losing another five Vehicons down. Minutes had passed by.
Knockout took a glance at The Fallen. His terrified and demonic looks gave him a shiver to his metallic spine. He did not want to know what else The Fallen can do. No way! No way he had to trust him about his powers and ability. The Fallen was the myth! How can he be real?!
The Fallen took a glance at Knockout, who yelped in fear and concern. He was in trouble for looking at The Fallen, and hoping that he did not read his mind. Knockout, in haste, headed off to the front; leaving Soundwave behind to look after The Fallen.
Knockout approached to Megatron; on his right side.
"Lord Megatron, I have some issues." Knockout said. Megatron glanced at Knockout as he continued, "Not only I had some problems to believe in The Fallen's tale, but Starscream. I can't shake the feeling that he might up to something."
Megatron chuckled lightly, "Calm yourself doctor, you had nothing to worry about."
"But Lord Megatron!"
"If it not for his legends, I would not have awaken myself from being mindless gladiator, and founded my own army," Megatron explained, "As for Starscream, I, too, never trusted him yet his cunning and slyness proved to be useful for Decepticon Assets. But should he tried anything funny when I'm not around -" Megatron slammed his fist on the metal wall hard. Knockout gulped in fear. Megatron turned to Knockout, "- He shall have this. Anymore questions you wish to ask?"
Knockout gulped, shook his head nervously. Megatron chuckled lightly, turned to the front. He and his Decepticon Troopers continued marching.
As The Fallen was passing Knockout by, he said to him: "You should be careful of what you had said. I don't like someone spread the false rumor about me. I don't show mercy to anyone so easily."
Knockout yelped softly yet frightened. The Fallen passed Knockout by, and Soundwave followed The Fallen, along with five Vehicons. Almost all of Decepticons and Vehicons had moved out, leaving Knockout behind. He looked scared and shocked.
"Maybe I should have shut my mouth up," Knockout muttered, before he headed off in meeting with his allies.
Entered Stellar Gallery the large dome-like and building, it was filled with Cybertron and its mini planets, and around the wall was the portraits that tell the tale of their ancestors and comrades, and their histories and battles. Megatron, Breakdown, Soundwave and some of Vehicons entered the hall. Breakdown looked on his right, Soundwave looked on left, and Vehicons looked on both left and right.
Everything was cleared and secured, finding no Autobots here at Stellar Gallery. Megatron and his minions entered. The Fallen, Knockout and five Vehicons entered the area. The Fallen looked at Megatron, giving him a nod. The area need to be secured.
Megatron turned to Soundwave, giving the next order: "Soundwave, scan the area."
With a nod, Soundwave launched his Laserbeak out from his chest. Laserbeak flew around the gallery; scanning the area from top to bottom. It then returned to its master, Soundwave, entering into his chest. Feeling the electrical energy surging through his body, Soundwave received some of information on his head.
Soundwave turned to Megatron, and reported, "The Autobots maintain these rooms for tranquil contemplation."
"Tranquil contemplation?" Knockout asked in shock, "What the heck was that supposed to be mean?!"
Megatron growled in anger, "It means that the Autobots laze about and whine over their own inadequacies. What a waste of time and resources. I can't believe this. Sentinel Zeta Prime had barely put up the fight. Pathetic and stupid!"
The Fallen huffed lightly, "It doesn't matter. We have come for Key to Vector Sigma. Go, find and secure it!"
Decepticons headed out in searching and seeking out of the Key to Vector Sigma around the area; from the ground level, holographic planetary maps, writing desk, post boxes and more. Megatron growled angrily; annoyed in unable finding his target. He looked up for the moment. He noticed a computer and the ball sphere-like planet. He smirked evilly. He informed The Fallen where he can find the Key to Vector Sigma.
Headed to the top platform, Megatron, The Fallen, Soundwave, Knockout and Breakdown came before the computer console.
Soundwave approached to the console, typing it for the moment. The screen revealed 'Loading...' before it became 'Download Complete'. Megatron smirked, knew that the Key to Vector Sigma was now theirs.
"Behold Decepticons -" Megatron cried as the ball rotated its own, matching the lines together as one "- The Key to Vector Sigma!"
The ball opened its front in halves. It revealed... EMPTY?!
Breakdown whistled, "That is one empty container."
The Fallen growled in anger, "What is the meaning of THIS?!"
The ball glowed in blue. It rotated to the top, and revealed the holographic form of... Sentinel Zeta Prime. Decepticons growled and groaned in anger, glaring at him.
"Megatron and The Fallen, I'm warning you now," said Sentinel Zeta Prime, sternly and angrily, "You are toying with forces beyond your understanding and control!"
Instead of angered, Megatron chuckled lightly, "Ah, Sentinel Zeta Prime. I see you're still afraid to face me in person."
Sentinel Zeta Prime huffed lightly, "Predictable as ever, right down on your empty words." He held the Cybertronian key in front of the Decepticons. The Fallen gasped in surprise and shock. He continued, "The Key to Vector Sigma is under my protection now."
"Pretender!" The Fallen shouted angrily, "Mark my words. You will know of the consequence you're facing at. And I will get my Key to Vector Sigma back! Mark my word!"
Sentinel Zeta Prime disappeared from the holographic form. The dome's glasses broke into pieces. Fifteen Aerialbots flew down through it. They transformed into their robotic forms. They aimed and blasted their guns at Decepticons to the ground. Three to five Vehicons down. Megatron and his Decepticons fired back, blasting at their enemies.
The Fallen approached to the front, raising his hands up, unleashing the purplish electrical power surging on him. He blasted them both at Aerialbots. They were okay before they screamed in pain and agony. They blown into pieces like there were bombs within their bodies.
Megatron and his minions were amazed and shocked of the event. Knockout had to admit it for accusing him to be a fake and myth. The Fallen turned to his back, looking at his minios, with his pleasant looks. He turned to Megatron.
"What is your next order, Megatron?" The Fallen asked.
Megatron smirked evilly, answered: "Soundwave, Knockout and 10 best Vehicons will come with me. We'll hunt Sentinel Zeta Prime. As for you, my lord, Breakdown and some of Vehicon Troopers will escort you to your ship safely until I get the clearance of Sentinel Zeta Prime's location."
"Well thought of it, Megatron," The Fallen said, "I wish you well in your mission."
Megatron nodded his head in agreement. The Fallen turned and exited out of the Stellar Gallery, along with his remaining of Vehicons and Breakdown. Knockout groaned angrily and irritation while Soundwave remained silent.
Megatron turned to Soundwave, ordered, "Soundwave, summon Ravage at once."
"Ravage Eject!" Soundwave ordered, his chest plate opened launching the sphere. It transform into Ravage, which growled in anger. He continued, "Operation: Seek scents of Sentinel Zeta Prime's broadcast wave."
Ravage growled while nodded his head. He sniffed slowly and cautiously. He snarled angrily before he headed off. Megatron and his minions followed him.
Ventured to the underground levels, Megatron, Soundwave, Knockout and ten Vehicons followed Ravage into a deep underground. For an hour passed, they arrived at the metallic version of train station, train track beams and Cybertronian Trains passing Decepticons by. Ravage turned to his right, barked wildly and angrily.
"Ravage's olfactory nerve sensory indicates Sentinel Zeta Prime's location came on eastern direction," Soundwave said.
Megatron nodded his head, "Into a tunnel, Decepticons. And try not to get hit by the train."
Knockout gulped in fear and concern, "You're joking, right?"
Megatron chuckled lightly, "Yes, Knockout. I'm famous for my sparkling sense of humor." Knockout breathed in relief. He looked up again. Megatron snarled angrily and shouted: "Now get moving before I dismantle you myself!"
Knockout yelped in fear, "Yes, Lord Megatron!"
Knockout transformed into his crimson Cybertronian Car and headed off. Megatron transformed into his Cybertronian Tank, Soundwave transformed into his Cybertronian Jet and Vehicons transformed into their Cybertronian Cars. They pushed their driving gear; heading off and passing six train station stops while following Ravage.
For the moment on driving across the train tracks, they arrived at the last train station. They transformed into their robotic forms. Ravage approached to the stairs. He barked out loud for more than just three times.
"Lord Megatron, Key to Vector Sigma detected," said Soundwave, "Located at Sentinel Zeta Prime's Vault."
Megatron smirked and chuckled lightly, "Excellent. The Key to Vector Sigma awaits."
Ravage climbed up to the stairs. Megatron and his minions followed him to another level.
Megatron and his minions arrived to the surface. They spotted the large building-like in front of them. Ravage barked out loud and wild more.
"That must be Sentinel Zeta Prime's Vault," said Knockout. Megatron nodded, agreed with Knockout's point of direction. He then looked down, found both Blackout and Skyquake battled and fired their guns at the charging Autobots from every direction. He gasped in fear, "The Autobots cornered both Blackout and Skyquake! We must assist them at once!"
Knockout had his blaster armed and ready. Megatron held his right hand halted Knockout's advance.
"At ease, Knockout," Megatron said calmly, "You will learn why the Autobots must no underestimate Blackout and Skyquake."
Autobots charged at Skyquake and Blackout. The Autobots jumped on Decepticons, beating hard on the Decepticons and blocking them from escaping. For the moment, the Autobots had Skyquake and Blackout trapped.
With the mighty and wild roars, Skyquake and Blackout broke through the barricade. They both blasted their Gatling Guns at the Autobots around them. Autobots continued blasting and firing their guns at the enemies.
Megatron chuckled lightly; seeing two mighty warriors continued fought back hard. He charged in, stroke his sword and blasted his Fusion Canon at some of Autobots. Knockout, Soundwave and Decepticon Troopers joined the battlefield, ending the battle as quick as they can.
For the moment had passed, all of the Autobots were killed and destroyed. The area was clean and cleared. Megatron and his minions met up with both Skyquake and Blackout, near to Sentinel Zeta Prime's Vault. Both Skyquake and Blackout bowed in respect and called out his name.
"Report," Megatron demanded.
"The Autobots continued resisting," said Skyquake. He groaned angrily, "Our air commander Starscream won't provide us the air support when my twin brother left for some work."
Megatron groaned angrily, "I told Dreadwing specifically remained with Starscream until we get the Key to Vector Sigma." He huffed lightly, "No matter. Where is Sentinel Zeta Prime?!"
Blackout pointed at the large door, "He's beyond the Vault's door, my liege."
Megatron growled in anger. He transformed into his tank. He fired his Fusion Canon against the large door for few times. The Decepticons joined in, using their missile launchers at the door for several times. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The smoke emerged from the attacks. They dispersed. Megatron and his Decepticons gasped in shock, seeing the door was...
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Megatron shouted in fear and concern.
The hologram form of Sentinel Zeta Prime appeared before Megatron. He laughed out loud, "Do you truly think your mere firepower canons and missiles breached the armor of my Vault?" Megatron growled in anger. Sentinel continued, "Surrender now. And I'll consider sparing your life."
Megatron growled in anger, "You dare threatened me?! You dare threatened MEGATRON?! DO YOUR WORST, PRIME!"
Knockout looked shock and concern while leaving Decepticons remained silent and vigilant.
Sentinel Zeta Prime huffed lightly, "So be it, Megatron. I leave you to your own... futility."
With Sentinel Zeta Prime's hologram disappeared. Megatron growled in anger before he roared in anger. Knockout gulped in concern; hated to see Megatron's bad side.
Megatron turned to Skyquake and Blackout, ordered: "Call in the Dark Energon Bombers! NOW!"
Blackout nodded his head while Skyquake remained skeptical in doing it. Blackout, using his right wrist's console, sending the coordinates to the air support. It sent! ERROR! Blackout gasped before growled in anger, with the sound of beeping.
"That idiot!" Blackout exclaimed in anger.
"Blackout! This is Starscream," said Starscream, "Your request is denied! I won't have you wasting of my SHIPS!"
Megatron growled in anger, overheard of what Starscream had said. He cleared his throat before he spoke, "Since when did they became your ships, Starscream? If I remember precisely, Dreadwing was the one I entrusted the most in handling the ships."
Starscream screamed in fear, heard of Megatron's voice, frightened in speaking: "Lord Megatron! I didn't realize you were there!"
"Spare me of your excuses! And sent in the bombers!"
"I can't."
"You dare disobey me?!"
"No! Because there were too many antiaircraft guns to deal with! If I sent them now, we will lose them at once!"
"And that is the reason why I did it," The voice interrupted. Both Megatron and Starscream looked shock and surprise, knew whose voice was that. Dreadwing continued, "That is the reason why I left with Skywarp and 10 Seekers in dealing with that problem. The Antiaircraft were set by some of my detonators, waiting for the right time."
"When will it ready?" Megatron demanded.
"Until all of Autobots reveal themselves from their hidings and ambushes, and with the signal of explosion. Starscream will send his Dark Energon Bombers engage the enemies." Dreadwing answered.
Knockout huffed lightly, "Want to give us the reason?"
BOOM!
The explosion ignited in front of Megatron and his minions. They turned and found some Aerialbots flew down, firing their blasters and missiles at them. They quickly hidden within the small buildings. Megatron found some Vehicons and Decepticon Troopers armed with their guns and weapons, waiting for his arrival. He knew that once the Autobots ambushes revealed themselves, he'll had his chance in turning the tide.
He returned to the call of Dreadwing, "Dreadwing, Starscream, make your count." Dreadwing and Starscream answered before turned off the comlink. He turned to the Decepticons, "Decepticons! Make your stand! Do not let the Autobots win!"
Decepticons cried wildly and loudly. They headed to the walls. They edged on it, while aiming their guns and fired at the Autobots, who were charging and blasting their guns at the Decepticons.
More Autobots jumped off and came out from the the buildings or two sides of Sentinel Zeta Prime's Vault; charging and blasting their guns and blasters at Megatron and his Decepticons. Impactor, Wheeljack and Bulkhead joined on the battlefield when they jumped off from the building.
"Alright, Autobots," Impactor shouted, "Move out! We've got the Decepticons cornered! No way those creeps send their bombers in attacking us!"
"Impactor! Should we at least sent some troops in defending the Antiaircraft Gunner area for more secure measure?" Bulkhead asked in concern.
Impactor scoffed, "Don't you worry about that, Bulk! No way those cons can win this fight! It'll be fine! Trust me!" He turned to the front, had his units charged out. He waved his sword down, "Charge, Autobots!"
Impactor swung and slashed his sword against two to four Vehicons, before blasting his gun at the rest of Vehicons.
Bulkhead sighed in concern. Wheeljack smirked in confident, "It'll be fine, Bulk. Trust me. We're almost winning."
Wheeljack headed off. Two Vehicons blasted their guns at him. Wheeljack swung his two swords on his enemies, cutting their heads off.
Bulkhead breathed in concern, "That's what makes me worry."
Bulkhead had his fists transformed into his wrecking balls. He slammed them on the Vehicons' heads, chests and limbs for several times.
On the Antiaircraft Guns area, the Autobots kept an eye out on the Decepticons Warships and Bombers, as well as the invaders coming after them.
Most of them were covered by thousands of his detonators. Dreadwing, Skywarp and ten Seekers were on the building's top; hidden from their enemies. They watched carefully as more Autobots continued charging and attacking Megatron and his Decepticons, who fought and blasted back at their enemies. Some of his army were killed during the battle, as well as the Autobots.
For the moment had passed, Dreadwing smirked evilly, seeing all of Autobots from Sentinel Zeta Prime's Vault due north and south had come and attacked Megatron and his army of Decepticons. He spoke, "It's time..."
Dreadwing took the detonator remote out. With the press of a button, the Antiaircraft Gunners blown and exploded into pieces, unleashing the large and darker smoke.
Dreadwing called on his comlink, "Starscream, now's your chance!"
"Seeker Armada! Attack!" Starscream ordered.
He, his Seeker Fighters and Dark Energon Bombers flew down, prepared themselves with their Dark Energon Bombs.
The Autobots continued firing their guns on both sides of Decepticons' small outpost, which was near to Sentinel Zeta Prime's Vault. The Autobots got blasted and blown by the attacks, yet their superior numbers continued firing their guns at the enemies.
Bulkhead looked concern and worry, seeing Decepticons continued resisting them like they were waiting for them to come. He turned to both Impactor and Wheeljack, and said: "Guys, something's not right. Even if they're outnumbered, they should retreat at once." Both Impactor and Wheeljack glanced at Bulkhead, who continued, "And not to mention, I heard the explosion. It came from... Antiaircraft Area!"
Thought of what Bulkhead had said, both Impactor and Wheeljack gasped in concern and shock, with their widened eyes. They understood of what Bulkhead said. They looked up. They gasped in shock.
"Autobots! Fall back now!" Impactor ordered.
Wheeljack shouted, "Get the hell out of here now!"
Impactor, Wheeljack, Bulkhead and thousands of Autobots quickly turned back and headed back before Decepticons' Bombers launched their missiles and bombs. Megatron and his Decepticons hidden and edged themselves within their barricades and walls. It was too late...
Decepticon Bombers launched and blasted their missiles and bombs on the long street and hallway of cities.
BOOM!
The Dark Energon bombs exploded into large explosion; blowing up and destroying the thousands of Autobots into dust. The fire grew enlarger and bigger than before. It even continued raging and charging on the running Autobots, including Impactor, Bulkhead and Wheeljack.
Megatron's Decepticons cried and cheered wildly and loudly, seeing their air support were wining. Megatron smirked in pleased and victory.
Impactor looked in front of both Bulkhead and Wheeljack, and glanced at his back. The fire continued enlarging and raging like never ending storm. He knew what he had to do.
"Wheeljack! Bulkhead! Take care of yourself!" Impactor shouted, making both Wheeljack and Bulkhead looked confuse.
Impactor pushed both of them to his left. He was then devoured by the raging flames. His screams was heard within their ears as both Wheeljack and Bulkhead continued watching the fallen comrade's death. The door of Sentinel Zeta Prime'a Vault blown and destroyed into pieces!
Wheeljack looked shock and feared before he snarled in anger, "I'll kill you, Megatron! You hear me! I'm coming get you!"
Bulkhead held Wheeljack's shoulder tight, "Jackie, don't!" Wheeljack glared at Bulkhead, who continued, "If we don't survive the attack, we wouldn't had our chance informing the rest about the next. Sentinel Zeta Prime won't had the chance! We've gotta go!"
Wheeljack groaned angrily, yet he knew his best friend was right about it. He took a glaring eyes at the battlefield, "I'll be back, Megatron. You'd better pray for it!"
Both Bulkhead and Wheeljack transformed into their vehicular forms: Cybertronian Hummer and Cybertronian Whit Race Car. They boosted their car boosters and headed off to another city in hidden from their enemies.
The fire had dispersed. Megatron and his Decepticons emerged from their hiding outpost. He smirked evilly, watched thousands of Autobots killed and destroyed in the flames of Dark Energon Bombs.
VROOM! Megatron looked up, and saw the Decepticon Transport Ship hovered above him. It then landed on the ground. Its front door opened in slide. The Fallen and Breakdown came down on the stairs. They approached to Megatron and his remaining of Decepticons. Megatron smirked and nodded his head. The Fallen smirked evilly.
The Fallen, Megatron, Soundwave and Knockout headed straight to the broken and damaged entrance door of Sentinel Zeta Prime's Vault. They entered the entrance door. The hologram of Sentinel Zeta Prime appeared from the small console.
"Megatron..." Sentinel Zeta Prime said sternly, "My, my, you are persistent one. But breaking my scared vault?! You had overstep yourself!"
Megatron chuckled loudly, "Nothing is sacred, Sentinel Zeta Prime. You should have thought of it before you threaten me! No one threaten MEGATRON! And mark my word: I will have the Key to Vector Sigma!"
Sentinel Zeta Prime groaned in anger, "The Key to Vector Sigma will not fall to your hands!"
Sentinel Zeta Prime's hologram disappeared from Megatron's sights. Megatron, Soundwave, Knockout and The Fallen entered the hallway of the Vault's thousand rooms.
The Fallen turned to Megatron and said: "Sentinel Zeta Prime proved to be weak and pathetic. And trust me, he will not have the fair fight."
Megatron chuckled lightly, "That's what makes challenge. After all, this will be my chance to prove that I am the true and worthy leader of Cybertron!"
"Perhaps... But the smart to prove is... to have an honorable fight. After all, you claimed to be the strongest gladiator. Prove me that you can defeat this... pretender."
"As you wish..."
Megatron and his minions continued marching and heading straight to the throne chamber.
BAM! The door burst in two. Megatron and his three Decepticon entered the throne chamber. They saw Sentinel Zeta Prime, siting on his throne chamber. He held the Key to Vector Sigma tight on his right hand. They approached to Sentinel Zeta Prime. Using his left hand, he pressed some buttons on his throne chair. The large force field appeared and covered him up. Megatron and his Decepticons stopped at once.
Sentinel Zeta Prime smirked, "Do you really think this will be easy?" He placed the Key to Vector Sigma on his left waist. "The Key to Vector Sigma will not fall. I am the Prime. I will not bow before you or your ancient relic."
Megatron snarled angrily.
The Fallen too snarled angrily, "Pretender! You will pay for your insolence! And mark my word, you will know that none can defeat The Fallen!"
His hands were surged by the purplish electrical energy, The Fallen blasted his lightning at Sentinel Zeta Prime's force-field. The purplish electrical lightning surged through it and affected the throne chair. It then electrically destroyed and blow for some pieces; creating the black smoke.
Sentinel Zeta Prime coughed out loudly and painfully, coming out from his throne chair. He gasped, glancing at his broken throne chair. He knew he had to face his enemies. He took the scepter out, creating the golden spear.
"Then, so be it," Sentinel Zeta Prime cried in anger, "I shall face you!"
Megatron smirked evilly, unsheathed his sword from his right wrist. Megatron charged at Sentinel Zeta Prime, swinging his sword against him for three to five times. Sentinel Zeta Prime swung his spear on Megatron's head. He quickly dodged down before swiped Sentinel Zeta Prime's legs, making him falling down. Megatron grabbed Sentinel Zeta Prime's head, slamming him on the ground for three to six times. He grabbed Sentinel Zeta Prime high up before throwing him to the wall hard.
Sentinel Zeta Prime shook his head hard, blasted his guns at Megatron. He dodged the attacks while approaching him. Sentinel Zeta Prime punched but Megatron grabbed his before punching his enemy's head hard. He then kicked on Sentinel Zeta Prime's chest hard to the top. Megatron thrown Sentinel Zeta Prime to his throne chair.
The Fallen smirked evilly. Soundwave and Knockout were as well.
Megatron approached to Sentinel Zeta Prime. He grabbed and held Sentinel Zeta Prime up high. Using his right hand, he pierced his sword at Sentinel Zeta Prime's chest hard; leaking his blue Energon out and making him screamed in pain. Megatron took the Key to Vector Sigma out.
He held it up high and cried: "The Key to Vector Sigma is mine! The core of Cybertron is Decepticons! Primus will obey my command!"
The Fallen smirked evilly, "Well done, Megatron. Well done."
