Hasbro owns transformers.

Chapter 3


HighFire was standing on top of a half burning air hangar. The light of the fire giving an illusion that he was glowing.

HighFire: Well Prime, it this was supposed to happen later as this was my mission. To lure you guys out then us deceptions can ambush you. But the reason I done it so early was, if I'm going to have to go to a military base to get my alt mode and go to a military base to lure you out, then it would be pointless doing it later. Anyway it would have helped you better if you came here by driving and not by a ground bridge, you would've seen the deceptions hiding behind the buildings and caught us by surprise. Its so easy to tell you guys are coming when the bridge shows up.

3 dozen deceptions come out from behind buildings. The Autobots ready their blasters.

The deceptions ready theirs. Smokescreen shoots first, the shot misses the edge of HighFires wing. All the 'Cons start shooting at the bots. The bots shoot back and get behind a turned over viechles and crumbling walls.

Optimus comms Ratchet: Ratchet, we are being ambushed we need an emergency groundbridge!

Static fills the line. Arcee shouts, the Deceptions are jamming the signal.

HighFire and Smokescreen were in a brawl, both landing some heavy hits on each other. HighFire managed to get Smokescreen in the jaw. Smokescreen gave High' and uppercut dazing him then threw him into a wall, the wall crashed down and HighFire got up from the rubble.

Smokescreen taunted: The paper plane still lives!

HighFire growled and jumped onto Smokescreen, his small sword ready to pierce Smokes' spark. Just then Bulkhead smashed his wrecking ball right into HighFire.

HighFire: Its on!

Optimus and Arcee were exterminating the deceptions at an excessive rate.

Optimus would get both his swords out and cut two 'Cons down simultaneously, while Arcee flipped over a decepticon latched onto his back and stabbed into their neck.

It was just then when Megatron arrived with Starscream and a couple of seekers behind him. Optimus dispatched another 3 decepticons and charged at Megatron. Both leaders with their swords out, ready to kill each other.


Autobot Base

Bumblebee was now in the rec room watching Raf play on his laptop.

Ratchet said: Bumblebee, it's time to take Raf home now.

Bee respond: OK, come on Raf. You can carry on playing on the way to your house.

Raf: How about Jack and Miko?

He looked over to where Jack and Miko were playing on the console.

Ratchet said: Miss Darby shall take them home.

Bumblebee transformed and Raf went inside the yellow muscle car.

The Yellow and black car tore out through the tunnel and into the Nevada desert.

Raf asked: Bumblebee, you seem different somehow, is it that HighFire guy?

The car remained silent for a while, contemplating on what to answer back.

Bumblebee: Its not just that Raf, I can't trust anyone properly anymore. I almost lost my ability to transform.

Raf: Why does he hate you?

Bumblebee: It was because of something that happened long ago. It had something to do with a fe...

A stray shot hit Bumblebee in the side and 'Bee swerved trying to keep balanced.

Raf: Look 'Bee, the Guys are fighting the cons.


Back on the battlefield

Bulkhead could be seen pummeling 3 'Cons with a already offlined decepticon, and using it as a bowling ball.

Smokescreen was shooting at starscream while on the back of a seeker.

Smokescreen then shot seeker and jumped of before it hit the ground.

Megatron And optimus were battling in a very even battle neither gaining the upper hand before the other. The rest of the Cons were shooting at military personnel who had enough of waiting and were fighting back.

Arcee was fighting a loosing battle. HighFire was a more competent fighter than she first suspected and was being thrown around like a rag doll. She thought this was the end until a certain yellow 'Bot jumped on HighFires back and RKO'ed him Bumblebee gets up but then HighFire sweeps his legs and takes Bumblebee back down

Arcee said: Bee I thought Optimus told you to stay at base.

She ran to HighFire and started punching at his face, only to get punched in the gut and thrown into a wall again.

Bumblebee, already standing up tells Arcee: Together!

The duo go at the orange seeker. Arcee has her blades out, Bumblebee cracks his finger joints into a fist, fury and malice burning in his eyes.

HighFire transforms both his servos into blades.

It all happens so quickly...

Arcee stabs HighFire in the lower left side of his abdomen while HighFire stabs both his blades into Bumblebee and Arcee. One going through bumblebees lower chest and the other into Arcee's left shoulder. He rips his blade from the two. Bumblebee crumples to the ground, his eyes shock and fear. Arcee still standing but staring at Bumblebee and clutching her injured shoulder.

HighFire comms Megatron: Time to go boss. The scout is down. I also have the perfect hostage for your plans.

Megatron shouts: DECEPTICONS, RETREAT!

HighFire punches Arcee in the face.

Arcee Pov

My vision get blurry, I see HighFires fist coming in for another fist but I can't seem to control my body to cover my face.

Time slows down and I see Megatron shouting words I can't hear. Optimus is looking at me and Bee, deep blue optics filled with sadness and a trace of anger.

I feel a solid object hit my head. Everything goes Dark.


Somewhere on the Nemisis

My options open, everything is dark, save for a white light pointing diagonally from me.

I remember what happened and how I got here.

Me and Bumblebee rushed HighFire. We were supposed to end him there and be done with him.

He only got away With a stab while he got me in the shoulder and Bumblebee in the...

I then start to panic and worry, Bumblebee might be in critical condition or worse and I'm in the Decepticon ship.

I struggle and struggle trying to get of the chains that are suspending me in the air.

Normal PoV

HighFire: I see sleeping beauty is up. Shame, I thought I had to kiss you to wake you.

Arcee: S-stay away from m-me...

HighFire: You don't get it do you? I'm in charge here in this moment of time. You are in chains.(Stops for a second and looks at a datapad in his hand) It looks like your in chains, again, and completely helpless. You've been in this predicament so many times I actually think you like it.

Arcee: Why am I here? W-what do you want with me?

HighFire walks closer to Arcee and grabs her by the chin.

HighFire: You, and the rest of the Autobots dead. You will lead them to us. Either they give Bumblebee and the one called Smokescreen or we kill you. Obviously they will already be thinking of ways to rescue you. It doesn't matter anyway which way the act, we will ambush them (again) and kill you all. I will make Bumblebee see all his friends and family die first before I extinguish his spark.

Arcee:Y-you monster...

She then spits at him

HighFire let's go of her chin, wipes his face then punches her in the face.

HighFire: That's not nice. Well I want to play with you more but that can wait for later. I need to go to the command centre and talk to your leader. After that we can carry on our conversation.


Decepticon Command Center

Megatron, Starscream and HighFire were in front of the screen recording a video message. Megatron speaks and says: Optimus, you have 12 hours to give us Smokescreen, Bumblebee, the apex armour and the phase shifter. If you don't (Image goes to arcee suspended in the interrogation chamber) your second in command dies. The coordinates are with the data packages accompanying it. Cut transmission.

Soundwave stops the recording and sends it to the Autobots.

HighFire wears a smirk: How can you agree to a decisision such as that.

Megatron:They don't.


Thanks guys for reading this chapter. I need a beta reader who can spot mistakes for me. If you want to feel free to give me a private message.

Anyway how is this chapter? Is it good, bad what do you think? Review or message me on what you think.

I also updated all chapters that I have spotted errors in. Joining this new chapter is a cover image for the story.

Also just to say that when I upload a chapter, I have already started on writing the next chapter.

I have set a poll up, you can go there and vote what course of action the Autobots take.

Suggestions are welcome and I would love to see them.
