Chapter 7, where getting to the end of the Cube ark as I call it.
ME: Hayo everyone! Today I have Sam and Optimus with me.
Optimus: Hello everyone, I hope you're enjoying the story.
Sam: *Nods* Hello! I hope you're ready for the next part.
ME: They will be keeping me company while I type, Also Lunaclaw will be getting an upgrade a big one.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own transformers in anyway shape or form. I only own my Ocs and plot idea.
CUBE CHAMBER
With the Cube now safe and sound in Bumblebees hands the bot played his radio "Message from Starfleet, Captain. Let's get to it," Will nods stepping down from where he was.
"He's right. We stay here, we're screwed with Megatron in the other hanger," Will said as he looked at everyone, who now just remembered how close Megatron was, making a few gulps pass around.
Simmons who was stilled stunned by what he saw, was still looking at where the Cube use to be. Ignoring him, Will said "Mission city is 22 miles away, we're gonna sneak that Cube outta here. And we're gonna hide it somewhere in the city,"
Keller turns to Lennox saying "Good! Right," he made his way over as Will finished speaking "But we cannot make a stand without the Air Force," Keller went over to Simmons while Diana ran to Bumblebee as he handed the Cube to her.
Sam ran over as Bee transformed he got in as Will yelled orders. Sam grabbed the Allspark as his sister got in.
"Here we go," She said as she gazed at the Cube.
Sam nods keeping the alien cube in his lap as Bumblebee began to drive. The oldest brother felt his hands tingle the longer he held the Cube, it felt like it was trying to map his hands out. Lunaclaw crawled over the Cube tapping it every now and then before looking up and Sam then back to the Cube as if confused then doing it all over again, as if she was trying to solve a puzzle.
They left Hoover Dam with the army vehicles right behind them. Diana looked back, for a second she thought she saw Mikaela arguing with an army man about something.
Shaking her head Diana thought 'Always knew Mikaela was battling girl at heart, besides she loves war games' grinning she looked down the road as they drove further away from the Dam and hopefully Megatron.
They drove for another 2 miles when they spotted a very familiar semi truck coming down the opposite side of the road. Diana broke into a huge grin yelling "It's Optimus!"
Sam smiles as Lunaclaw chirps wondering why they were so happy all of a sudden.
They watched as the Autobots did impressive U-turns and follow them. Sam turned to the radio asking "Bee can you contact the others?" the scout whirls as his radio came to life with static before voices yelled.
"SAM! DIANA! I MISSED YOU!" That was from Vergil.
"DAMN IT GUYS! DON'T DO THAT AGAIN. YOU CRAZY ASSHOLES!" Yep, definitely Conor.
"YOU TWO OK? WHERES MIKAELA?!" And David joins the shouting.
"We're all ok! Mikaela is with the army guys and has a new toy and presents for everyone," Diana said with faint tears of happiness in her eyes at hearing her other brothers.
"Toy?" Conor asks "She got herself a mini Gatling gun didn't she?" Sam laughs at Conor's deadpanned voice tone. "Got it in one, We also have the Allspark,"
"Well done, keep it safe," Optimus said as they entered the highway.
Everyone was going smoothly until Sam heard police sirens. Looking back he saw the same police car from before but with a Buffalo vehicle behind it.
"Oh no! It's the same cop car from before! Block them quickly!" Sam yelled as Lunaclaw climbed into his shirt to hide. Diana held her seat as she watched the Buffalo transform into a Decepticon.
She held her mouth when the Con skated through a bus making it explode into flames, Sam growls he had been growling a lot lately he had just noticed, his eyes widen as Optimus transforms and got tackled off the highway.
"I hope he's gonna be ok," Sam said as he looked back down at the Cube, for a second he thought it glowed but shook it off as he tried to calm Lunaclaw down.
MISSION CITY
When they came to a stop in the city Will had ran into a shop to grab some radios, while Mikaela ran over to deliver her presents to her cousins. Conor looked very happy with his new guns and bulletproof vest.
"These are the best presents ever! Thank you cousin" He said giving Mikaela a small kiss on the cheek making her giggle at his way of saying thank you.
David got back into Ratchet now carrying a medical kit with him. Vergil had gotten an added Sniper rifle he was a very good marksman when it came to a Sniper rifle. Everyone got back into their rides as they went a bit deeper into the city.
The group came to a stop when an F-22 flew overhead, Sam got out of Bumblebee with Diana who was holding the Cube. the rest of the brothers ran to stand beside them as green smoke filled the road.
Conor jumped when Ironhide transformed yelling "It's Starscream!" People began to run away as Bumblebee transforms Ironhide yelled "Back up! Take cover! Bumblebee!" they went over and lifted up a truck as if to provide a shield.
Will yelled orders as army men scrambled to get to cover while Mikaela covered Diana with Vergil to protect the Cube, Sam held Lunaclaw close to his chest as Conor and David stood tense behind a few army vehicles.
After a few seconds, a missile hit down sending debris flying and the truck that Ironhide and Bumblebee were holding turned to scrap as the shockwave sent people close by flying. Diana gasps as she felt the buzzing in her ears fade, forcing her eyes open she saw Mikaela next to her with Vergil nearby who had landed on Jazz's hood.
Diana winced looking down she saw the Cube glow faintly before stopping. Pulling it away she saw a small cut on her chest from where the Allspark had hit her during the explosion, it healed over leaving no marking behind.
Panting Diana got up with help from Mikaela who had her weapon ready. Nearby Vergil groans saying "Next time, I'm taking an Airline flight," he got up hearing Jazz chuckle at his little joke.
"You ok man?" Jazz asks as Vergil got off his hood, the young male patted his shoulders saying "Other than a few scrapes, I'm fine," Vergil shook his head of dirt making a mini dust cloud over his head as he did so.
Conor got up cursing as David ran around helping the wounded, Sam who was just getting up heard pained whines and his sisters startled shouts. Turning he saw something that nearly made his heartbreak.
Diana was trying to help Bumblebee who had gotten his legs blown off at his knees. The poor girl had hot tears running down her cheeks as she tried to stay strong for her friend.
Sam ran over yelling "Ratchet!" but the Autobot medic was busy lifting rubble off trapped soldiers and innocent people nearby.
BOOM!
Ducking Mikaela saw a tank! Off all the things they had to face it had to be a TANK! Growling she got her gun ready to cover fire. Behind her, Diana who had given the Cube to Sam was wrapping wires around the tubes of Bumblebees legs to stop him from losing more of his kinds 'blood', David who had finished with the humans ran over to help.
Sam looked around the now ruined area to see that Conor and Mikaela had run after the soldiers who had gone to face the tank Decepticon. Lunaclaw chirps as she clung to Sams undershirt, she was scared and unsure as to what was going on but the sounds hurt her audios making her bury them into Sams' chest.
WITH VERGIL
Vergil who had been climbing a short building to help out with his Sniper rifle had watched as Megatron arrived. He pales when the warlord grabbed his guardian and flew off to a nearby building. Following them with his scope he watched as Megatron transforms holding Jazz by his feet, and then to Vergil's horror he grabbed Jazz's chest. Vergil knew what that meant.
With his heart beating a mile an hour panic filled him He yelled "No JAZZ!" he couldn't let his guardian die!
He gasps when a white flash lit up his vision followed by a searing hot pain for a split second.
When the light faded he looked at his hand and held back a scream, where his human hand once was was now a metal hand.
"AHHHH!" Snapping his head up Vergil saw Megatron beginning to pull Jazz in half. Growling Vergil felt something pop from his back. running on instincts he grabbed it and pulled it out to show a Cybertronian Sniper rifle. Grinning he took aim and without hesitation fired.
Jazz yells as he felt his back strut spark and rip. So he was unprepared for when a shot hit Megatron's left arm, this made Megatron drop the saboteur, who fell down to the street below.
Groaning Jazz pushed his upper body up. He could faintly feel his peds so that was good somewhat, he flipped his visor up since it was now cracked "Jazz you ok?"
Jazz thinking it was Vergil he looked only to go silent in shock. Standing before him was a mech with a frame built for stealth, speed, and flexibility. His armor was black on his chest, shoulders lower legs and lower arms with his hips, upper arms and upper arms being dark grey his helm was also dark grey. But what got Jazz was the fact that the mech had greenish-blue optics the exact same color of Vergil's eyes!
"Jazz?" The mech asks the slim mech who was the same hight as Jazz kneels down "V-Vergil?!" Jazz asks in shock how was this possible?
The mech or Vergil nods saying "Yeah I know, I don't believe it either. But right now I need to check your beck so hold still," Jazz still trying to wrap his mind around the fact that his human had just become a bot stayed completely still.
BACK WITH SAM
"SAM!" Will yelled as he ran over to the young man, who was helping civilians away from the war zone looked over as Will asks "You got the Cube?" Sam nods pointing to the Cube tucked under his arm. A few seconds ago it had lit up a light blue before calming back down.
Will nods before speaking "All right, I can't leave my guys back there, So take this flare,"
Sam takes it asking "Why?" he winced when the Cube lit up but a little bit longer this time.
"I need you to take the Cube to that tall white building with statues on top. Go to the roof and set the flare and signal the chopper," Will said as he pointed to the building with the white statues on top.
Sam gulps, looking back over at his sister who was trying to keep Bumblebee calm while trying to get him on a tow truck with soldiers help.
'I can't fail, my family is counting on me' Nodding Sam looked over as Ironhide and Ratchet came over. "Sam, we will protect you," Ironhide said as he got his cannons ready.
Sam nods again before taking off in a run, it all rested on him now.
A FEW MINUTES AGO WITH THE TANK CON
Conor yelled as he ducked behind a building to avoid a rocket, the Decepticon was really pissed off. More so when Mikaela shot the Con between the legs, David was throwing combat knifes with scary extreme precision at the Cons exposed wires. Conor pants when he saw that he was out of ammo.
"Damn it! I feel so useless!" he kicked the building he was hiding behind. He really wished he was bot right now at least then he could help out more!
You know the saying, the one that goes 'be careful what you wish for?'. Well, that just came true. Conor yells as a white-hot burning pain raced through his body as a white light flashed in front of his eyes. When it stopped he fell to his knees catching his breath, "Wha?" He looked at himself only to see a metal body. He noted that his color was navy blue all over.
"Well wanna know wish granted," He grunts getting up, he wondered what weapons he had. He got his answer when twin cannons popped out from his arms. The cannons looked similar to Ironhides only with a curved front end and a small scope on top of the cannons.
"Hell yeah!" he grins before coming out of hiding and firing at the tank, turns out his cannons were like automatic rifles with rapid fire.
He wasn't the only one who changed. David was now a bot with his colors being white, red and a little bit of blue, he was getting injured Soldiers out of harm's way while shooting the Con with a rifle like gun.
Mikaela was also a bot and was enjoying it! She was now using a Cybertronian mini Gatling gun with glee on the tank con. Her colors were Maroon and silver but right now she was a bit busy. Conor almost laughed when She put the gun away and tackled the tank putting her new strength to use and got the Con in a Master lock.
This lets the army men get a clear shot at the Decepticons waist and chest. But it was a double shot that finished the tank con off, Conor turns around since the two shots came from behind him. It was Bumblebee sitting on the tow truck being driven by a soldier, Bee had his gun out and his battle mask down but besides him now coming to a walk was a female bot with navy and golden colored armor and light green optics.
"Diana is that you sis?" Conor asks as he walked over. The new bot nods as she said: "Yep, I see you guys also change?"
Mikaela walks over after setting the con down saying "We sure did, and boy! Does it feel good!" she grins cracking her hands.
David walked over he spoke "We need to get moving, I sense big brother is in danger,"
Diana nods saying "I'm gonna go and fine Vergil and Jazz," She turns and took off running into the city.
WITH SAM
By now Sam was halfway to the white building with Ironhide and Ratchet right behind him. He was suddenly very glad for all of his parkour lessons. He jumped over another car as Ironhide yelled "Keep moving Sam! Don't stop!"
Poor Lunaclaw was holding on for dear life inside Sams top. She whirls when she felt herself get zapped once again as the Cube brushed over her hiding place in Sams shirt.
He yells as a Decepticon helicopter landed in front of them. Sam ran to the side avoiding the Cons rotor blades as it sliced a taxi in half, when he looked up ahead he cursed it was the F-22 that Ironhide said was Starscream coming right at him!
Sam dodge rolled to a nearby van and took cover as Starscream transforms and landed sending cars flying, the young male watched as Ironhide and Ratchet battled Starscream taking some hard hits. Then the jet Con jumped transforming as he did so and flew off.
"Sam! Get to the building!" Ironhide said as he fell to his knees holding himself up with his hands, he had a big wound to his waist.
Sam pants getting up he took off running once more. He jumped and flipped through cars and people as he ran, he almost looked over his shoulder when he heard a roar somewhere behind him.
"Give me the Cube, boy!" Yep, Megatron was here! This only made Sam run faster.
He yelps when he was too late to side jump an SUV and got slammed right into it. He hit the ground as the Cube let out a pulse, grunting Sam got up and got back to running. He had to reach that building!
After running for a few more minutes he finally reached the white building he shoulder slammed the gate open and ran inside.
"You're not gonna get me. You're not gonna get me!" Sam yelled as he ran to the stairs.
The sound of shattering glass reached his ears "I smell you boy!" Megatron yelled.
"Fuck you!" Sam yelled back, Conor had rubbed off on him.
He made it to the second floor and was nearing the main stairs when Megatron who decided to be a pain in the back, burst through the floor.
"Maggot!" He yelled as he missed the boy. Sam made it to the stairs and almost groaned at how many there were. Taking a deep gulp of air he ran up the stairs, he was getting one hell of a workout today.
When he made it to the top he saw that he had to climb a ladder, but instead, he used his parkour skills to swing himself up and over. Panting he ran across the roof lighting the flare as he did so.
"Hey! Over here!" he yelled as he ran to a clear area of the roof. He skidded to a stop near the edge as a black Hawk rose up to greet him.
He dropped the flare and leaned over ready to hand it to the female co-pilot when he saw Starscream fire a missile "Look out!" he yelled pulling himself and the Allspark back onto the roof.
He fell onto his back as the helicopter tail barely missed hitting him. He got up hearing "Hang on Sam!" Sam grins at hearing Optimus voice. He got up as he felt the roof sake.
"Oh shit!" he ran to the corner of the roof as Megatron burst through the roof with a roar.
Sam climbed on to one of the statues, he was inches away from falling off the edge.
"Is it fear or courage that compels you, fleshling?" Megatron asks, Sam glares at him while trying to keep his footing.
"Give me the Allspark and you may live to be my pet," Megatron said as he drew closer. Sam glares his eyes almost glowed as he spoke "I'm never giving you this Allspark!" he held the Cube close as it started to gain a faint unseen glow on a few of its symbols.
"Oh, so unwise," The Decepticon leader said before changing his arm into a mace.
Sam gave a scream as the mace destroyed the part of roof he was standing on sending him flying down the side of the building. Sam held the Cube close with Lunaclaw who was also screaming a high pitched screams as she clung to him.
As he was a few stores down the building he was caught "I got you, Sam" It was Optimus!
"Thanks for the save! I owe you one!" Sam said as held onto Optimus chest as the Autobot leader held him close saying "Hold on to the Cube!" Optimus battle mask snapped on as he turned and descended down using the buildings either side of him as he did so.
Unfortunately, Megatron followed them down, he tackled Optimus making the Prime fall to the ground. Optimus gunts as he lay on the ground shaking off the sudden helmache from falling so fast. he uncurls his hand from around Sam, who was panting and holding his chest. In the fall his top had been cut open and cut his chest above his heart leaving a small gash behind.
"Sam?" The young male rolled onto his knees to face Optimus, the blood on his chest dripped down onto Optimus armor. Lunaclaw shook her head as she clicked at the wound in concern. She jumped when it started to heal at a rapid pace with a faint blue glow on the edge of the wound.
"You risked your life to protect the Cube," Optimus said as Sam nods saying "No sacrifice, No victory," He spoke the Witwicky motto as his eyes harden.
"If I cannot defeat Megatron, you must push the Cube into my chest. I will sacrifice my self to destroy it," Sam pales at the Primes words 'No! You can't!'
"Get behind me," Optimus orders, Sam quickly scrambles off Optimus chest and into a nearby ditch.
Sam moved along the ditch listening to what was going on "At the end of this day, One shall stand, one shall fall," Optimus spoke. Sam ducks to avoid some flying rocks he pants running to a nearby clear area.
"I have to help! I have to do SOMETHING!" Sam yelled as he looked at all of the destruction around him. Lunaclaw climbed out onto his shoulder as he looked around.
That's when the Allspark lit up, its symbols glow a brilliant blue and sent out a small wave of energy into Sam making him grunt in pain as his body began to burn. Lunaclaw gave a small shriek as they were engulfed in a bright white light.
When it fades gone was the young human man, in his place stood a white and golden mech. He rolled his neck as at his feet a USV sized robotic wolf in silver stood with golden optics.
Sam grins asking "Shall we Lunaclaw?" Lunaclaw barks saying "Let's do it!" she ran ahead towards the fighting leaders.
Sam looked at the Cube now floating in his hand "Thank you," he said to it before placing it in his new subspace.
He followed Lunaclaw to the battle, his new body warming up at a fast rate as he got closer. A battle mask snapped into place over his lower face as he got ready to fight.
Lunaclaw grins as she jumped into the air and landed on Megatron's back, digging her claws in and using her new wolf teeth she bit down on Megatron's shoulder. This made Megatron roar in anger. She let go and jumped down right as Sam tackled Megatron.
Optimus groans as he pushed himself onto his side to see a cybertronian wolf standing in front of him, for a split second he wondered where the wolf came from before his attention was moved over to the battle to see a new mech battling Megatron. The new mech was doing a good job of ducking punches and hitting weak spots.
Sam growls as he ducked another strike before he saw F-22's flying over, smirking behind his mask, Sam backflips his foot connecting with Megatron's chin sending the warlord stumbling right into the F-22s missiles.
When the Con leader tried to tackle Sam he was sent to the ground thanks to Optimus tripping him up. Sam summoned the Allspark into his hand from his subspace as he waited. He only had one shot at this.
"Mine! Allspark!" Megatron said as he got up and lunged at the white and golden mech.
Sam thought 'NOW!' his left arm shot out grabbing Megatron's neck as he yelled: "You want power?!"
His right arm shot forward the Allspark glowed in his hand as it slammed into Megatron's chest "Have your fill!" Sam finished as he winced feeling his hand burn.
He let Megatron go as his chest now held a melting hole right where his spark was. Sam stepped back falling to one knee holding his right wrist as his own hand held a now melting mess of a hole. He pants watching as Megatron fell onto his back before going still and silent.
Lunaclaw walked over as she eyed the unmoving warlord. She growls before her body shifted to a panther with silver armor and golden optics. She went to stand by Sam who let his battle mask retract.
Optimus got up walking over to the fallen bot saying "You left me no choice, brother," Sam winced, Megatron was Optimus's brother? Oh, snap!
The other Autobots arrived making Sam look over, he grins as he saw some new bots. He could tell right away that they were his siblings, he felt a warmth in his chest as he felt emotions that were not his own fill him. Vergil was helping Jazz to walk over, David was carrying a few injured soldiers in his hands, Conor was sporting a big grin with his auto-cannons out. Beside him was Mikaela with knuckle dusters out, coming up to the side was Bumblebee and Diana both stopped as they watched the dead Con.
He slowly got up holding his right arm close to his side. He turns as Optimus walks over to him "Sam?"
Sam nods saying "Looks like we're even now," he grins as his hand sparks.
Optimus nods as he moved aside to let Ratchet pass. The medic took Sams hand saying "Hold still," Sam does so as Optimus gave a small speech.
"OW!" Sam yelps as he felt something get painfully tugged from his hand.
"By Primus," Ratchet said as he held up a small chunk of the Allspark that had lodged itself in Sams' hand.
Ratchet watched as the Cube shard glowed before shifting and changing into a very small cube, around half the size it had been when Sam had first held it. Sam jumps when the tiny Cube shot over to him making him hold up his uninjured hand letting it hover in his palm.
Diana smiles glad that it was all over., "Are you alright, Diana?" A British voice nearly made her jump out of her ski-uh armor!
Turning she looked at Bumblebee she asks "You speak now?!" her jaw slightly dropped as he chuckles. The people around them also chuckle along with the Autobots and a few of the siblings.
Ratchet walked back over with Sam whos hand had a patch on it until the medic could fully repair it later. Sam held the tiny Cube close to his chest as Lunaclaw walked beside him.
Sam saw Optimus walking over to his dead brother, frowning he walked over asking "You ok Optimus?" He watched as Optimus pulled a small shard from Megatron's chest. The Prime held the shard as he stood up to face him, "I'm alright Sam" he walked over as Sam nods.
"Is that?" Optimus asks spotting the tiny Cube Sam now held.
"It is, but for some reason, it won't leave me alone," Sam said as he moved his hand, this made the Cube follow his hand like a lost puppy.
Optimus smiles reaching up he touched a symbol on the right of Sam's helm, just above his right optic was the same marking that Optimus had on his right cheek plating.
"You have the Prime marking," Optimus said a pleased rumble working its way from his chest.
"The what now?" Sam looked right at Optimus confused.
"This symbol shows that you're a Prime, like me," Optimus said as he showed Sam the symbol on his cheek.
Sam gulps asking "What have I gotten myself into?" he rubbed his optics in a joking way making Optimus chuckle, before looking down at the Cube.
"What do I do with the Allspark?" He gestured to said artifact, he got his answer when the Allspark gave a small glow. Sam gasps as his chest opened up and the Cube floated inside, his chest then snaps shut making him blink a few times.
"Ok, question answered," he chuckles as Optimus shook his helm. The two rejoined the group as Will and his men rushed about.
'We did it, we won for now' Sam thought as he looked at the sky. The battle was over for now.
Done!
ME: There we go, Megatron is dead and the Witwickys along with Mikaela are bots now. All I have to do is get them some alt-modes and we are set.
I will be taking care of that in the chapter. So for now, this is SaberbladePrime signing out!
