We stopped our advance behind a small outcropping of rock and peeked around to see over one hundred miners equipped with standard mining modifications to their blasters and large drills. I brought my rifle up to my shoulder and started to leap forward but something grabbed me by the wing and pulled me back.
"Hold on their, Hot Shot. We can't just go charging in!" Bulkhead set me down on the ground. "If we did, we would need a team of medics to tell our optics from our finger servos!"
"Bulk's right for a change. We need a plan" Arcee peered over the rocks.
"Autobots, who remembers the energon depot in Iacon that was taken over by the Decepticons?" Prime inquired. They all looked at me.
"Oh I hate you all."
...
I walked into the mine in my human form, totally exposed and vulnerable. I hated this plan. Apparently the Autobots used an unsuspecting worker droid to infiltrate the...
"Halt!" a sudden voice rang out in front of me. I looked wide-eyed at the large purple drone.
"What are you doing here?" The other drone aimed his rifle at me.
"I'm here caving and I heard strange noises." I looked up at the strangely imposing red visor.
"Come with me." I put my hands on my head and willed my rifle to slowly emerge. As soon as the drones turned their backs I drew my rifle and pulled the trigger.
"What the...!" the drones were hammered with a storm of energon bolts. As soon as they dropped I transformed into my Cybertronian form and unleashed a torrent on the confused drones. Bolt after bolt struck their targets but there were too many. My weapon was just not powerful enough. I was surrounded faster than I thought. I did the only sensible thing. I replaced my rifle inside my back and transformed into my F-15 mode and flew through the middle of the mob. That's when the Autobots knew it was time.
A single grenade was lobbed through the air and landed where I used to be landed. It exploded violently sending drones and debris alike careening to the walls. The survivors stood up quickly but were in a daze. Prime stood up, chest facing flat towards the Decepticons and weapons bared. Bulkhead and Arcee stood next to their leader and I landed on point, rifle at my shoulder and peering down the scope.
"Autobots, attack!" Optimus' voice rang, queuing a torrent of energon that wreaked havoc over the remaining drones. I set my rifle to single shot and aimed for only the head. The remaining forces in the chamber soon fell.
"Advance, but exercise caution."
...
"WHAT?!"
"I'm sorry Lord Megatron. The Autobots have taken control of the first chamber! They're advancing. They have some sort of small drone on their side! It tricked the miners..." an energon bolt to the side quickly silenced the drone.
"GAH! Breakdown! Dreadwing! Go and secure the mine! Use whatever means necessary to silence the Autobots!" Megatron roared.
"Yes, Lord Megatron!" the two officers said in unison then bolted off to the flight deck where a groundbridge awaited them.
...
"Area secure!" Arcee and I scouted forward, taking first blood on the next room. This mine was absolutely massive. They had only cleared two rooms and have already found thrice of Primes weight in energon just protruding from the walls. I wondered how much the Decepticons had already excavated.
A whoosh echoed through the mine walls followed by what sounded like engines. One of a land vehicle, another jetlike. I turned around and aimed my rifle at the door while only Bulkhead mirrored my actions. I kept a sharp eye as the sounds grew louder and louder. Then I saw them. A blue jeep like car with a spare tire on top and a sickeningly familiar blue-gold jet.
"Breakdown! Dreadwing!" Bulkhead shouted. The other two Autobots quickly turned around and opened fire. Then it clicked. Dreadwing! He was the jet that assisted Megatron in my capture! I trained my cross-hairs on the nose of the jet and opened up on full auto. The torrent struck the jet nailed dead on target but merely bounced off the golden belly of the craft.
Impossible! I fired again but met with the same result. Only Optimus' fire seemed to phase the imposing aircraft. The Decepti-Duo transformed and took defensive postures. They were definitely imposing but the Autobots didn't back down. Bulkhead and Arcee went for Breakdown and Prime went strait for Dreadwing, smashing his fist into the aircrafts head. I just watched as the amount of ferocity was doubled then tripled and the fight had barely gone on for two minutes. The upper hand went to both hands at one point or another.
Suddenly, the Decepricons just fell back to the entrance of the second cavern and smiled
"Be careful, this could blow your mind!" Breakdown laughed. I looked at them and Dreadwing held a little flip phone looking device. Then there was a beeping. High pitched and incredibly fast.
"Optimus! On your back!" I jumped and transformed and flew to the mine on his back. I knocked it off with one tail whip and caught it. I set my afterburners to overdrive and blasted out of there. I could feel it start to explode. I stopped suddenly and watched the bladed explosive fly out of the cave mouth and a brilliant display of blue and white clouds.
I was knocked to the ground and transformed. I drew my rifle and started to run back to the fight zone. I came back and found it had turned into a firefight. I was most impressed by Dreadwing's cannon. Large red bolts smashed into the rocks, chipping them with ease.
I took aim at his elbow and fired a steady for shots. The large Transformer hardly took notice. I then got an idea. I was a jet! That means I have missiles! I started to think of missiles launching and felt my arm shifting. I looked down. A pod of four missiles jutting out of my arm, replacing my hand. I smirked and aimed at Dreadwing.
Four trails of smoke followed by four explosions. The massive jet roared in pain as I reverted my missiles back to my hand and fired a wild storm. This seemed to get his attention so I kept firing. That seemed to give the Autobots the distraction they needed. A barrage of energon bolts was aimed at the two Decepticons and they had no choice but to retreat.
"Soundwave! We need an emergency groundbridge NOW!" Breakdown shouted and turned around. Dreadwing followed his partners actions and ran out the entrance. Thats when a portal opened and the duo vanished. I jumped in the air and whooped.
"What now Boss?" I asked
"Gather as much energon as you can, and return to base."
