Here's Chapter 3! I worked hard on this fight scene, so I hope you enjoy it!

Part 1 Chapter 3

The tremors continued to shake the room around with large whistle sounds becoming louder within each second. Dust began to form around the area. The soldiers only stood there wondering what is going on outside, but Lennox suspected an unexpected enemy approaching. He knew the war couldn't possibly be over since there are other Decepticons that could come out of nowhere like what Shockwave and his Driller did back in Chernobyl. Now isn't the time to stand around again; he decides to take action.

"You two, help me mobilize the soldiers! We're going to need weapons and ammunition stat!"

Epps and Hardcore Eddie heard the order and seeing no way out of this approaching fight they followed the order. Lennox took some soldiers with him and headed for the artillery storage bunker in the base, but that was when they heard the outside defense unit firing at the unknown assailant. Explosions rocked the corridors and some of the ceiling began to fall and crash down on the soldiers, but it did not stop them and Lennox from getting to the goal. Minutes later, with the defense unit continuing to hold off the enemy, the soldiers made it to the storage unit. Knowing they are going to have a limited carrying capacity, Lennox had to improvise.

"Alright, listen! We must grab as many guns as we can, one for each soldier! Any other soldier without a weapon will get a couple grenades; a variety is necessary! Bring the artillery turret as well! Hurry up; we don't have much time!"

The Wreckers, hearing the sound at the other side of the headquarters, quickly rushed into the base to ensure protection of the Dark Energon crystal. Meanwhile, the vehicle carrying the weapons and ammunition drove inside the giant room with the soldiers gathered up. Lennox rushed out and started throwing the guns out to the soldiers. During that process, a huge explosion was heard above them and a huge piece of the ceiling fell on the truck. The other soldiers managed to stay away, but the truck was totally crushed under the debris; fortunately the weapons were not affected. The team desperately tried to salvage any weapon they can reach but then the whistle sound was there again, this time it was so loud that the troops had to cover their ears from the piercing sound. Suddenly the train sound was now coming closer at a great speed. A loud voice shouted out toward the base.

"MAKE WAY FOR ASTROTRAIN!"

With that said, a giant train crashed through the building, causing an immense wave of force and debris to fly toward the troops. The soldiers flew away from the train and slammed on the wall behind them with the rubble flying toward them; some of the men were caught and about three were killed. The train immediately transformed into a giant bulky transformer with a gun in one hand and a fist held out in front of him. He gazed around the room with the soldiers frantically getting up and grabbing their guns.

"You call that defense out there? That wasn't even a warm-up to me! Let's see if all of you can do better!"

The soldiers started to fire the guns at Astrotrain, but were only leaving tiny dents in his armor all around. Astrotrain laughed at the sight and wanted to amuse himself more, so he took a mere small vehicle that was in the room and threw it at the grouped soldiers. Most of the soldiers dodged the attack, but a couple could not and was taken out along with the car.

"What, no strike? That's not cool!"

The soldiers continued to fend off Astrotrain from getting the Dark Energon, but Astrotrain charged after the soldiers in his sights. He rammed into a few of them and ran through the wall in front of him, killing all that was in his attack. Desperate to take out the Decepticon and knowing it was reckless, one soldier charged right next to Astrotrain's right leg and threw a grenade at it. Upon contact, the grenade exploded and Astrotrain yelled out in pain as the grenade scorched up his leg; however it wasn't enough to disable it. Astrotrain looked down to see him and angrily crushed him with his foot.

"You dare face me? That is your fate now pathetic human, crushed underneath my foot!"

Lennox, now seeing an opportunity to counterattack Astrotrain, explained his plan to both Epps and Hardcore Eddie.

"I have an idea! Rob, take some troops and flash grenades and climb up the stairs on the second floor. Eddie, you take the hand grenades and stay on the first floor. I'll order the team to drive it in the middle of this room. Wait for my command to unleash it on that thing!"

"Anything to stay alive! Let's go!"

Without hesitation, Epps and Eddie immediately got into position; Astrotrain was too busy handling the soldiers in front of him. Lennox gave the order to drive the Decepticon back with the grenades and a large artillery turret they brought with them. The grenades blew up in front of him and the gunshots were now piercing through his armor. Astrotrain was startled by the grenades and took his steps back, leaving him vulnerable to the main attack.

"Now! Throw the grenades!"

The flash grenades dropped down from above and exploded by Astrotrain, blinding him of his surroundings. Eddie and his troops prepare to perform their assault, but Astrotrain figured out their plan and reverted back into his train version and using his instincts he unleashed a thick cloud of smoke, blinding the troops as well. Unaware of where they're standing, the troops could not risk blowing themselves up with the grenades and therefore could not attack Astrotrain. Seeing this as his opportunity, Astrotrain charged toward the secure room that contained the Dark Energon crystal and crashed through the huge door. The wall crumbled as well, causing a section of the second floor, right where Epps and most of his troops were, to collapse; the fall left all of the soldiers severely injured. Astrotrain gazed upon the crystal and with utter satisfaction he seized the container. It was now time to make his leave.

"I got what I came for! It's time for me to get the slag out of here!"

Though the soldiers continued to attack, Astrotrain charged out the way he came in before and after a few steps this time he changed into a giant space shuttle and took off to the skies. The soldiers looked outside in disbelief.

"I can't believe it! That Decepticon can change into two vehicles?"

At that moment the Wreckers drove through the entrance to notice the room was demolished. They noticed the place that held the Dark Energon crystal was no longer there.

"Quick! Where did that Decepticon go?"

"He went through the way he came before and flew off as a space shuttle!"

"With the crystal in his possession it will cause a reign of terror from the Decepticons once again! Wreckers, after that shuttle!"

Without a minute of waiting, the Wreckers drove out to the open field and onto the road and at full speed began their pursuit on Astrotrain and the Dark Energon crystal…
