Chapter 4 The Airshow

Tyler's father looked over the Spitfire aircraft as Tyler put on the nessacary gear for the flight. "In all my years" Albert said as he looked to Tyler, "I never thought my son would fly one of these". Tyler smiled as he quickly attached the last bit of gear and moved over to the aircraft.

"It is something that we though would only happen in our dreams" Tyler replied as he quickly patted his fathers shoulder. All of the chipmunks, as well as Sarah, stood near by with a smile on their faces, knowing that now, Tyler was having the life he had dreamed about for years, with his parents now envolved. "Man you lucky" said Albert as he stood next to his son.

Tyler chuckled as he climbed up the wing and reached into the cockpit. "I am not the only one who is lucky" said Tyler as he pulled out another suit. Albert stood in amazement as Tyler quickly tossed the suit over to him. "You are riding with me as well. Get the suit on, then get into the back seat when you are ready". His father looked up at him, his eyes wide in amazment. "Tyler, I don't know what to say" he said happily.

"Save it for when we get back onto the ground" laughed Tyler. Albert remained still for a moment, then quickly ran off behind a truck with Tyler's mother following behind to help him. "We can tell things are better between you and you parents" said Brittany as they all smiled at Tyler.

He gave a pleased nod as he turned back to inspect the cockpit. "Things are finally going back to the way they used to be. With the bonus of all of you and my mom getting off the hooch". Sarah then moved up to the aircraft and smiled as she looked up at Tyler. "I think after all those years of suffering, things are finally looking up for you". Before Tyler could reply, they hard a voice speaking out in complete shock.

"Tyler, Tyler Pauwel, is that you?". The chipmunks could see Tyler and Sarah suddenly freeze, both of them looking at each other in disbelief, with a bit of annoyed look on their faces.

The chipmunks turned, and saw a young women standing a few meters away. She was short with long red hair. She had jean shorts on and a red tank top on. She looked a little younger than Tyler and Sarah, but only by a year or two. Tyler then faked putting a smile as he looked towards the young women. "Amy, it has been a while".

"Too long" she said, as she batted her eye lashes. Sarah could feel a surge of anger engulf her body as she stared at the women.

"So what have you been up to all these years" she said as she moved over to them. Tyler turned back to the cockpit, rolling his eyes in annoyance as he flicked a few switches. "No offense Amy, but this area is only for pilots and VIP's".

"Oh come on" she said innocently, "there are no guards and cops around. I just want to talk to you again". Tyler gave Sarah a quick glance, then turned back to Amy, reaching into his pocket, pulling out his wallet. He then stepped off the wing, and moved over to Amy, opening his wallet, revealling the RCMP badge.

Amy frooze in shock as she stared at Tyler with aww and surprise "Unfortuantly for you, there is a cop around. Now I must ask you to go back where the crowd is".

"Fine" replied Amy, giving Tyler a wink, "but you will be seeing me again". She then walked off back to the crowd, gently rocking her head back and forth, making her hair wave in the breeze.

"That bitch" growled Sarah as she moved next to Tyler, grabing his arm tightly. "Who was that women?" asked Theodore as the chipmunks looked back at Tyler and Sarah, wondering why Tyler and Sarah seemed to hate her so much.

Tyler turned to Sarah, and jerked his head towards the chipmunks. "You better tell them, I have to get ready for the flight". She gave a small nod as Tyler pulled away and climbed back onto the wing and into the cockpit. Sarah kneeled down next to the chipmunks, her eyes glued on Tyler as she began to explain.

"Well, when we were in highschool, Tyler was a private person, never talking about himself, or talking about his feeling". "Sounds like the Tyler we know" Alvin chuckled as he wrapped his arms around Brittany.

Brittany then grabed his arm, and pulled it away. Alvin gave her a confused look as Brittany shot him a cold stare. "What is it with you men not talking about your feelings" she sneared as she stared at Alvin. "Don't get mad at me" Alvin laughed, "Tyler was the one who never talked about his feeling. Don't forget, he didn't tell us much about his life for almost four years".

Brittany just continued to give Alvin a cold stare, but he kept his smile.

Sarah waited for a moment, then continued. "Well anyway, a lot of the girls found that attractive about him. Some would pester him constantly by flirting with him, asking him out, or tried to make advances towards him. Some would give up, but there were a few who kept trying. Amy McKeller was one of them, and it still seems like she still is trying" she said, her voice deep with anger.

"Did you find that attracktive about Tyler as well?" asked Eleanor.

Sarah's cheeks turned bright red as she looked down to the ground witha small smile on her face. "To be truthful, yeah, I did. Even though we were friends since childhood, there were things he still didn't tell me, I found it both annoying and attractive. And when he did bring up something, it always had a huge surprise would cause me to go into tears later. I remember one day we went out for a bike ride togeather, and he told me-".

"I am ready" yelled Albert as he ran to the Spitfire with excitement. He then climbed into the cockpit, and quickly buckled himself in. Airport personel then approached the aircraft, one raising his arms into the air, making a cross.

Tyler then gave a nod as he raised his right hand into the air, and made a twirling motion. As soon as he did that, the engine roared to life.

Tyler then reached up to the glass canopy, and pulled it forward, closing off the cockpit. Everyone stood back as the engine began to power up, pushing the aircraft down the tarmac.

"Come on" said Megan as she looked down at the chipmunks and Sarah, "lets find a place where we can watch my son and husband preform crazy acts". Everyone gave a small chuckle as the all moved in with the crowd behind the boundry line.

After a moment of looking, the found a spot at the front near the runway, giving them all a clear view of runway. Everyone looked to the end, and could see the Spitfire quickly spinning around, turning towards the end of the runway.

Sarah then stepped infront of everyone, and unclipped a small walkie talkie on the ground. "Here" she replied as she looked down at the chipmunks. "Tyler gave me this so that we can talk to him while flying".

"You ready dad" came Tyler's voice from the walkie. "Ready as I will ever be son" he replied. Soon, the sound of the aircrafts engine powering up filled the air, but the aircraft remained where it was.

Inside, Tyler was pushing the throttle forward until it reached it's limits. The aircraft vibrated like a old washing machine as he gently put his hand on a lever, and quickly pull back.

As soon as he did, the aircraft shot forward, gaining enormus speed in a matter of seconds. After only a few seconds of traveling down the runway, Tyler pulled back on the stick, sending the aircraft skyward.

"Wow" Albert cheered as the horizon almost seemed to go vertical. "Brace youself dad" replied Tyler. He then pulled the stick hard to the left downward, while pushing the right foot pedal, causing the aircraft to dive down while spinning like a the cork screw.

Everyone on the ground cheer and clapped while Tyler continued to preform stunts. He did loops, tricks where he almost seemed to stop the aircraft while still flying, then turning it into another direction in a matter of seconds.

The chipmunks kept their eyes on the aircraft the whole time, but after a few minutes, lost sight as the aircraft flew further down the airport. "Darn, we lost him" Jeanette said disappointingly as the tried looking past all the spectators.

"Do any of you see him?" asked Alvin as they looked up at Sarah and Megan. Both shook their heads as they treid scanning the skies. "Where did he go?" Sarah asked as they continued looking for the aircraft.

Everyone then felt the ground begin to shake, as a distant rumble filled their ears, getting louder and louder by the second. Before anyone could evern react, the aircraft flew over their heads by a matter of two dozen feet. Everyone looked up in time to see the aircraft was upside down, and for a brief moment, they thought they could see Tyler waving at them.

They all growled in anger as the aircraft shot skyward and striaghtened out, leaving a cheering crowd behind. "I think he is almost done" Sarah said as they watched the aircraft closely. "But he knew what was best, he would land here".

Just then, PA speakers sparked to life as a announcers voice filled the air. "Folks, we have a last minute appearence by another military aircraft coming in. If you all look to you right, you will see a F-22 raptor flying in".

Everyone's heads quickly turned to the right, as they saw the distance shine of a aircraft heading for them. Megan pulled out a set of benoculars and focused them on the aircraft.

"Wow. The US airforce must have thought of giving it a paint job as decoration".

Alvin looked up at Megan confused, knowing that those aircraft were strickly grey. "What kind of paint job?" he asked as he hoovered into the air, next to her head. "Take a look" she said as she moved the benoculars infront of his face.

Alvin looked into one of the lenses, and could see the aircraft clearly. It was covered in familar markings that he had seen somewhere before. As the raptor came closer, Alvin felt his blood run cold as he saw one symbol on the wing the he reconized all to well It was a rectangualar face, with tirangles making up most of the design.

In a instent, Alvin moved down to the walkie talkie, and pushed the talk button. "Tyler, you have company".

"What do you mean company" said Sarah as she and Megan looked down at Alvin confused.

Before he could answer, the crowd suddenly began screaming. Everyone looked up as a missle shot away from the raptor, heading straight for the Spitfire.

The Spitfire suddenly rolled upside down while climbing, causing the missle to shot just below the canopy. "I can use some help up here Alvin" Tyler said over the radio. Alvin looked around at the crowds of people surronding him.

"There is to many people Tyler. Can't risk it". "What is going on?" asked Sarah, her voice shaking with fear.

"That isn't a F-22" he replied as all the chipmunks looked up at the sky, "it is a old friend".

Suddenly, the sound of a machine gun firing filled the air. The crowds gasped in horror as the F-22 came up behind the Spitefire, shotting at it with it's machine gun.

The Spitfire weaved right and left, going in every direction, trying to avoid the fire. Loud pings then echoed throught the air as smoke began to erupt from the engine. The engine then began to sputter and cough as the smoke became thick and black.

"Get out of there Tyler" yelled Brittany as they all watchin in horror. The aircraft then flipped upside down, and dived to the ground, forcing the F-22 to pass.

The Spitfire dove towards the ground, then pulled up at the last second as the engine went out. It glided several feet above the ground, as the landing gear extended. Everyone gave a sigh of relief as the aircraft touched the ground and began to slow.

The canopy the blasted off as a bright ball of light shot out of the aircraft and into the sky. Everyone could see Albert quickly jump out of the aircraft and run towards the crowd, back towards his family. After only a few seconds, he collapsed a few feet away, breathing heavily. "What is going on?" he panted as he looked up at everyone.

Were all silent, all looking up in the sky. Albert slowly turned his head as saw where he last saw his son rise into the air, hovered a giant red and blue robot with two massive jet engines on it's back, huge wings, and massive guns on each arm. (Basicly what you saw in my trailer)

"Tyler" his parents said in shock, never really seeing him in his form. The F-22 flew towards Tyler then transformed, hovering several hundred feet from him. As soon as the crowd saw this, may began to screaming and panicing as they tried to run away from the airport, while the chipmunks, Sarah and Tyler's parents remained where they were, watching what was about to happen.

"Starscream" growled Tyler, "I thought I killed you". "You never did check to be sure" Starscream chuckled coldly. "But then, you were close to death, so I can't blame you". "Well this time, I will be sure to finish the job". Tyler then flew towards Starcream, the two coliding head on, sparks flying and the sound of metal grinding echoing through the air.

The two fell to the ground with a thud, as Tyler's jet pack seperated from his body, crashing several meters away. Tyler and Starscream rolled on the ground, as the two tried to get the advantage over the other.

"Do something Alvin" growled Brittany as they all looked at him sternly. Alvin quickly looked around, making sure that the coast was clear, the charged towards the battle, his whole body begining to glow as he turned into his robotic form.

Tyler was pushed down on his back, with Starscream on top, laughing like a mad robot. "Megatron's greatest mistake, was ever allowing you to live". Before Starscream could finish the job, Alvin rammed into him, pushing him off Tyler.

Tyler quickly got back onto his feet and quickly jerked his right arm, causing the bright orange glowing sword to deploy. He then ran towards Starscream who had just pushed Alvin off him.

But before he could get up, Tyler stepped onto his chest, and held the tip of the sword below his chin, preventing him from moving. "Alright Starscream" growled Tyler, "give me some answers, and I might let you live".

Starscream looked down at the sword at the tip of his chin, then looked back at Tyler, his red eyes filled with fear. "Alright, I came here because my forces have been trying to locate you, to determine if you really were dead or alive. I guess the question is solved".

Alvin came up next to Tyler's side, and kneeled down to get a closer look at Starscream. "And what were you going to do. Your master is dead, your forces are weak without him, and you can't command worth a damn. Even if you did have a clear shot at Tyler, without Megatron to hinder his healing abilites, you wouldn't have caused him much harm".

"It was worth a shot" Starscream growled.

Tyler remained still for a moment, something deep down was telling him there was something more to what he was saying. He then moved his sword away from Starscream and steped away to everyone's shock.

Starscream looked up at Tyler, waiting to make sure this wasn't a trick, then stood back up. "Pass this on to the remainder of you forces" Tyler said as his sword retracted. "I will not be so generous the next time, I will kill the first chance I get".

Starscream then jumped into the air, transforming back into the raptor, and flew off. "Are you sure that was a wise idea?" asked Alvin as he turned back into a chipmunk.

"To be honest, I am not sure, but there is something more going on, and I have to find out".

"Good" said Tyler's father as they came up behind them, "maybe now you can answer some questions".


Starscream flew through the narrow tunnels of a old bunker that was hidden under a mountain range. It was old and primitive in his eyes, but paid no attention as he neared the main chamber. As soon as chamber was in sight, he transformed and landed on his feet.

"Master, I have returned" he said bowing down. In the dark shadows, two blood red eye appeared, looking down at Starscream. "Report" a low evil voice growled. Starscream the stood back onto his feet and looked at the menacing eye.

"Mission was a sucess, I have located Optimus Prime". "Excellent" the voice growled as the moved to another end of the chamber. "Your cowardice has finally paid off. Soon, very soon, my revenge will begin. He will watch, as I cause him the exact same pain he cause me so long ago. After almost 8 years, I look forward to seeing him again. Operation vegance is procceding as planned. Did you manage to confirm what we have learned".

Starscream looked at ther red eyes, watchig them closely as he nodded. "He does have two. One nine months after Jordan Scott's death".

The eyes then looked back at Starscream, and moved closer to him by a few meters. "I have one more task for you, and don't mess this up".
