Somewhere In The Desert,
Teaxs, Earth
March 16, 2015, 11:37 a.m.
Mikalea covered her ears as a seemingly never ending hail of automatic weapons fire pounded Bumblebee. "Bumblebee!" She shouted. "Speak to me!" But Bumblebee was still silent and unmoving. That strange device the woman in black shot Bumblebee with had some how shut the yellow bot down.
Optimus was outside battling the Decepticon, Breakdown. Every time Optimus got the chance to come and help her, Breakdown would be on him again. The jet, Thundercracker, wasn't helping either. He kept blast Optimus with missiles every time he got close to the humans shooting at her.
Alpha Bravo was yet to be heard from, and she feared the worst for him. So she was basically alone against the six men and the woman in black. Suddenly the bullets stopped, and there was silence.
She looked back out the window, the woman ordered a ceasefire. Mikalea watched as five of the six men walked towards Optimus and Breakdown. The sixth man went to the truck and pulled out a big handheld buzzsaw. The man walked towards Bumblebee, the loud sound of the buzzsaw coming to life filled the air.
The man in blue armor slowly drove the buzzsaw into Bumblebees side door, Mikalea could see sparks flareing off from the powertools cutting.
OoooO
Optimus was nailed again by Breakdowns spiked shield, this time in his face. He was still weakened from the crash, so he wasn't fighting with all his strength.
Optimus threw his fist forward, aiming at Breakdowns face. His fist stopped short just inches from the Decepticons smirking face. Optimus notice a pair of magnetic cables wrapped around his arm. Two of the humans were at his right holding the weapons that the cables belonged too.
Before he could do anything, the other three human launched cables of their own which wrapped around his left arm. Together the humans pulled him down to his knees.
Optimus was at Breakdowns mercy. The Decepticon continued his assault, repeatedly bashing Optimus with his spiked shields, laughing the whole time.
The pain was unbearable as spike after spike stabbed into his frame over and over again. Optimus felt himself on the edge of unconsciousness once again. He was about to let it overtake him.
Then he heard a scream.
It belonged to Mikalea Verity.
The human with the saw was beginning to get through Bumblebees armor. She was their target. The Decepticons wanted her dead just for associating with them. This would not stand.
Rage filled Optimus' Spark, new resolve brought him back from the brink of unconsciousness. With a flick of his wrist, his right hand broke apart and folded into his arm. The sword hidden in his arm sprung forward with a metallic noise.
He thrust his head forward, headbutting Breakdown, and making him stagger back a few feet. With Breakdown out of the way for a moment, Optimus twisted his arm and cut the cables that held his right arm in place. With the cables cut the humans holding them fell backwards.
Optimus twisted around, cut the cables holding down his left arm, and turned his attention to Breakdown who recovered from Optimus attack. Optimus retracted his sword, his hand reforming. He drew his axe handled from its compartment on his upper leg. The Axe of the Primes unfolded in his hands, its hard-light blade coming to life.
The axe was always the tool he used when he wanted to end a fight quickly, and this fight needed to end. Breakdown lunged at him. With expert skill, Optimus spun out of Breakdowns way. In the same motion Optimus brought the axe down and severed Breakdowns arm at the elbow.
The Decepticon yelled in pain as his arm dropped to the ground, Energon bleeding from the wound. Optimus lunged at him, his knee striking Breakdown in his head.
With Breakdown on the ground, Optimus punched him with his free hand until his optic cavity collapsed and his dental plates fell out. Optimus grabbed Breakdown by his ankle, and with great strength he spun and tossed the Decepticon with one arm.
Breakdown was sent crashing into the humans truck, crushing it and leaving Breakdown in a crumpled mess.
The sound of thunder crashed again. Optimus could see Thundercracker coming in for another attack run. Optimus worked fast. He threw his axe at the human with the saw, the hard-light blade cut the power tool in half and embedded itself in ground between him and Bumblebee.
Before the axe even landed, Optimus pulled out his main projectile weapon, an Ion Cannon. He fired off a single well placed shot, that crashed into the oncoming Thundercracker. The ion round stuck Thundercracker right in his right engine, flames erupted from it as the Energon Seeker begun his rapid descent down to the ground. The Decepticon flyer crashed in a half transformed crumpled heap.
With the Decepticons taken care of, Optimus turned his attention to the human female. As he approached, she pulled out some kind of pistol with a very Cybertronion looking barrel.
She fired it at him, the weapon was some kind of kinetic force gun. The blast of kinetic energy was nearly strong enough to knock him down, nearly. Optimus closed the ground between them and wrapped his hand around her arm. With a squeeze, Optimus crushed the weapon and the humans arm.
Optimus felt nothing as she screamed in agony. He put his finger in front of her, and flicked her. The force sent her flying away, where she landed in an unconscious mess almost half a mile away.
The other humans came up behind him, their weapons raised. He snapped a look at them, fear evident in them as the quickly changed their minds and ran off into the desert.
Optimus finally allowed himself to calm down. He dropped to his knees, his Spark heavy. He shook off his feelings for the time being and went to Bumblebee. He grabbed the silver device and pulled it out from Bumblebee.
With the device gone, Bumblebee shook back into consciousness. His door opened and Mikalea was pushed out from him, then he transformed.
"What was that!" Bumblebee exclaimed both confused and frightened.
Optimus answered. "Some kind of Cybertronion deterrence device that forced you into Stasis Lock."
"Was that all?" Bumblebee said rhetorically. He looked around at the battlefield, then at the state that Optimus was in. "What happened? Are okay, sir? You look terrible."
"I'm fine, Bumblebee." Optimus lied. "I am more worried about our human friend." He turned to Mikalea Verity who was leaning against his axe. "Are you hurt Mikalea."
She was silent for a moment. She looked at Optimus, with fear no doubt. She had most likely saw the small rampage he had just gone through. Then she said. "Yeah. No, I'm fine. They didn't get to me. Thank you."
"We have to go." Optimus said. He put a finger to his communicator. "Alpha Bravo, report."
OoooO
Alpha Bravo was lying prone on his back. He wasn't quite sure how he avoid Thundercrackers missiles, but he did. He still got caught up in the blast, but wasn't in too bad of a shape.
His whole body ached, but he was alive. That's what was important. Optimus would be glad to hear that.
Speaking of the Prime, he radioed in. "Alpha Bravo, report."
"I'm here." Alpha reported. "I'm in one piece at least. Is everything okay on your end?"
The radio was silent for a moment, then Optimus said. "We will live. We have to get moving, how far are you from our position?"
Alpha looked around. "At least a couple of miles."
"Meet us en route to base."
"Aye sir." Alpha said. The Aerialbot stood, much to the annoyance of his joints, and transformed. He took off and started heading towards the Autobots base.
OoooO
A Half An Hour Later
Thundercracker wasn't happy. This time for much more obvious reasons. He managed to tranform to his bipedal form and stood.
His entire frame ached. His starboard engine was busted, so flying was out of the question. This wasn't the first time he had witnessed Optimus Prime go on rampage.
The last time he had seen it, Optimus tore through almost fifty capable Decepticon warriors. Only two came out alive. Himself, and a four-wheeler named Crankshaft. It was a terrifying sight.
Normally the Autobot was calm, collected, and reserved, but he had a powerful rage inside him. The human must be important if her life was enough to set him off.
Thundercracker turned around and headed back. He clutched his nearly dislocated arm as he went. The humans from the organization named C.O.B.R.A were standing in front of Breakdown and the remains of their vehicle. One of them was supporting their leader, the female known only as Baroness, her arm broken and bleeding. For some reason, Optimus always seemed to injure his enemys arms.
Breakdowns face looked like he went ten rounds with a trash compactor and he was holding his severed arm in the other. The Stunticon was alive at least. Bludgeon may not care about their lives, but Thundercracker did.
"Breakdown, you actually look better." Thundercracker joked.
"Oh, haha." Breakdown said through broken dental plates.
Thundercracker put a finger to his built-in communicator. "This is Thundercracker to Soundwave, requesting Ground-Bridge. Objective not complete, repeat, target has escaped."
Soundwave was already likely aware of their failure, Thundercracker silently cursed the Communications Officer.
Seconds later a bright green portal opened out of thin air. Together with Breakdown and the humans, Thundercracker stepped through it, and onto the Arctic Circle.
OoooO
