Ello loves, I'm back with the next chapter of Rising Moon. Also, the end of this story will be the next two chapters or so. Then, I will get started on the sequel!
xXGaurdianHeartXx: Thanks for the review~! I agree, I liked the books more than the movies, though I could do without Bella whining all the time about Edward. It had gotten a bit annoying to read pages of her just whining. As for as Breaking Dawn part 2 goes… I haven't seen it yet sadly. I did hear that people actually liked it, though. And, here is the next chapter, just as you asked!
kyubbi lover 98: Thanks for the review~! ^-^
I would like to announce that I also received 30+ reviews on this story! Thank you all for reviewing my story so much!
I would like to just say that I do NOT own any rights to Furby. I just thought I should say that since in one of the scenes there was a truck with that logo on it.

Chapter 8: Battle of Mission City
With Simmons and CO
Agent Simmons along with the Sec. of Defense, Glen and Maggie were in a room locked down at Hoover Dam, trying to get a signal out to the Air Force. They were searching furiously to locate mikes but couldn't find any. Maggie quickly came up with the solution; telling Glen to hotwire an old computer monitor to transmit a sounds as Morse Code.
An eerie bang sounded as the large metal doors locked from the inside, was being pounded on. They all froze in place, silently waiting to see what would happen next.
"What the hell was that?" Simmons asked the question that was on everybody else's mind. After a moment of silence Simmons stood from his place at a paper covered work table and raced to the door yelling back at the others, "barricade the door!".
Glen continued to work on the computer while the others were in the process of barricading the door with a desk and some other things that might have been of some use. Meanwhile, Keller found some guns in a glass display case. Breaking the glass with his elbow he reached in and handed one gun to Maggie while he kept the other one. He gave her some rounds and they began firing through the crack in the door, hoping to hit whatever it was that was trying to break its way in.
At that moment, Glen was able to get the transmitter up and running. Mr. Keller turned from the door and made his way back to the black man, telling him what to do. "Send exactly what I say!"
Behind him, you were able to hear Simmons commanding Maggie to get out of the way as he slipped the nozzle of a flamethrower between the two doors, lighting the hallway with red hot flames. "Burn, you little sucker! Burn!"
They were finally able to see that it was a smaller version Megatron that was trying to make its way to them. It was speaking in a language of clicks and some odd form of what might have been English. Simmons continued to hit it with flames as it tried to squeeze through the doors and into the room.
The Sec. of Defense led Glen through what to send to the Air Force. "This is Defense Secretary Keller. Get me NORTHCOM commander." Just at that moment the evil robot launched something that flew past them and stuck into a support column, barely missing Simmons, Mr. Keller and Glen. Keller wasted no time in getting back to the task at hand. "Authenticate emergency action. Blackbird 1195…"

With the Autobots
The Autobots had taken the lead of the odd procession that was rapidly making its way for Mission City. Coming towards them, they all were able to hear the distinctive sound of a police siren.
Nightshade took a glance behind her to see that there was in fact a police cruiser along with some type of construction vehicle coming from the opposite side of traffic on the highway. The Decepticons pushed their way past cars, flipping them and causing some to crash as they went.
The construction con used the large forked scoop like thing attached to the front to flip a car behind it like you would flip a pancake. The car landed on its roof as it skidded towards oncoming traffic, causing another car to hit it.
Bumblebee sped ahead of the group once again. Still having her phone synced with Sam's, Shade was able to hear Sam say that the cop that was behind them was the same as before. Shade decided that she didn't want to know what he meant that that moment. The other Autobots had spread themselves out on all the lanes of the highway, trying to block off the Decepticons from reaching Bumblebee and the others.
The construction type Con, decided at that time to start transforming into his bipedal form in the middle of the highway, not caring if the humans on the road would be wounded or killed because of it. He let out a mechanic grunt as his feet hit the road, he took off after the Bots.
Once he had passed safely under a bridge, Optimus skidded as he began to transform as well. In a swirl of gears and clicks the red and blue mech jumped to avoid a car and skidded to a stop a few feet from it.
The Con skated on the highway much like a hockey player, kicking cars out of its way before smashing right through a metro bus; breaking the bus neatly in half. He emerged from wreckage with flames surrounding his large metal body. He skated past an eighteen wheeler and tackled Optimus' legs. They both tumbled from the fly over and onto an over pass below, landing in front of a car with a woman and her son. The woman was able to slam onto the breaks and miss getting hit from the giant robots.
The Decepticon punched Optimus in the face, before the Autobot leader pulled him up by the back and punched him the mouth plates. The Con flew back and landed somewhere below the over pass. Optimus not even glancing at the humans in the car, took a step to the edge and jumped down below. Optimus twisted around as he jumped to land on his hands and knees next to the severely damaged Con.
The Con used his forked appendage to lash out at the Autobot. Optimus spun around the attack and hid behind a pillar for a split second to bring out his energon sword. As the Con came around from the other side, Optimus spun once again, only this time facing the enemy mech. Optimus grabbed the Con's head under his arm and sliced off an arm of its own. He punched the Con in the face once more before grabbing him again and running his energon sword up through the Con's throat. In a flurry of sparks Optimus pulled his sword from the mech and tossed him to the ground behind him. The Con landed with a loud thud before its head clanked to the ground moments later, rolling slightly. Optimus' sword retracted back into his arm as his hand took its place back at his wrist.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Bumblebee along with the other Autobots and Special Ops, made their way to a town black were they were able to set up. Next to them was a pawn shop not too far from them. People on the streets and in shops stared at them curiously, wondering why the military was in the city on such a nice day. Shade was with Lennox and Epps as the others went to their stations that Lennox had assigned to them on the way there.
"Come on, let's go! Mount up!" Lennox called out as everybody got into motion. Another officer in the background could be heard, shouting at others to move. "Here, I got shortwave radios," Will come up to Epps and dumped said device into Epps' hands.
Epps looked at them in confusion before turning back to his commanding officer. "Wait. What am I supposed to do with these?"
"Well, use them! It's all we got!" Lennox gave his good friend 'duh' look as he climbed into the warthog.
Shade was behind them in the back seat, reequipping her swords and knives as well as a hand gun that Will had given her. She couldn't help but laugh as Epps mumbled a comment, " This is like RadioShack dinosaur radios or something, man."
The men took a quick look behind them to see her snicker with a smirk on her face. "And, don't think just because we are currently at war with some giant ass robots from space that you're off the hook, Selene. We got a lot of questions for you." Lennox spoke up as he turned back towards the road.
"Don't worry, I won't try to run off on you. Not that you guys would give me much of a choice. You always were persistent about knowing what I was doing at every moment. Pain the ass pups then, pain in the ass still," the last part was muttered under breath so the guys couldn't hear it. She knew that if they did they would whine about it later.
Epps continued to talk into the radio as they drove on. Shade having finished getting equipped, she took command of the torrent gun. The Autobots right behind them. Epps asked if any jets were around the city as they saw one fly over head.
"F-22 and 12:00," Lennox spoke up. "All right, I want plane for air cover and get Black Hawks on station to extract that Cube. You got it?"
They came to a stop at an intersection. All of them filed out of the cars with Bumblebee being in the middle with the military on one side and Ratchet, Jazz, and Ironhide on the other. Shade jumped from her place to allow one of Lennox's men to take over. She came to stand between Bumblebee and Ratchet with her arms crossed over her chest.
She was somewhat aware as Lennox gave the command to pop smoke and that the Air Force had arrived.

Shade's POV
I stood between Bumblebee and Ratchet, not the least bit phased as the two began to transform around me. I had that presence at the back of my mind again; only this time it was much stronger. The more I tried to hone in on it, I realized that it was in fact multiple trying to connect with me.
Could it be them…?
I wasn't able to thing long on it however as Ironhide transformed and called out, "It's Starscream!"
Epps was talking into the radio almost desperately hoping that it was the Air Force and not an enemy jet. I clutched at my gun in its thigh holster as a shiver of anticipation and adrenaline snaked its way through my now healed body. I could feel the tension of a battle starting and I couldn't wait to be part of it. The thrill of the hunt was gnawing at me, the beast side of me wanting so bad to start already. I could feel the familiar pulse of energy was tiny blue sparks lightly danced around my body; small enough where no human could see them.
I helped clear people off the street as quickly as possible as Ironhide had Bumblebee help stand up a truck with the Furby logo on it. Lennox was yelling at the soldiers to move out of the way of the incoming attack. I spotted a woman trying to take cover next to a city bench. I rushed over to her just as the missile hit the Furby truck; sending Ironhide and Bumblebee crashing back. With no time to move the woman, I threw my body over hers to help shield her from the debris.
After the explosion I helped the lady up and pushed her in a direction leading away from the city. I looked back to see that Epps and Lennox were also thrown back but seemed to be fine other than their breath knocked out of them. They would surely be sore later. I saw Sam and Mikaela lying on their stomachs but was slowly getting up. Jazz had a few bits of debris on his hood form a small crater not two feet from him. Lennox had his men begin to clear the area.
Once the dust had started to clear, we saw the damage that everybody had taken from the shot. My breath hitched in my throat at the sight of Sam's guardian. Bumblebee crawled from where he had fallen only for us to see that his legs been severed from his body when a vehicle had landed on them. Sam stood in front of him muttering 'no' over and over again while telling Jazz to back up and give the mech some room.
From where I was at, I had to duck down behind a support beam of a building as I was in the middle with Sam on one side and Lennox and Epps on the other. I felt the ground begin to tremor ever so slightly, with my ears pricking up. I whipped my head in the direction that I heard the sound come from. Just at that moment, a tank fired off a round, landing in front of where Lennox and Epps were crouched.
"Shit. This day just got a whole lot worse." I slipped into German as I grinded my teeth, thinking of a plan.
The tank fired off another round as it began to roll towards us. More civilians screamed in terror as they tried furiously to get out of the way of a Decepticon disguised as a tank. With Bumblebee injured and Optimus nowhere in sight, that left us with only three Autobots, Lennox's men and myself that could actually fight. The odds were against us as we had no idea how many more of them there was. I knew that the tank, Starscream and Megatron were all around here somewhere. Though, there has been no sighting of the Decepticon leader as of yet. I had a feeling that it wouldn't stay like that for long.
My eyes widened a fraction as I heard a voice almost whisper into my ear but at the same time not. I knew that voice.
We are coming…
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
So that is the end of the first part of the Battle of Mission City! Next chapter will have the rest of the battle scene.
This chapter was longer than the last one, yay!
Anyway, I hope you all liked the chapter. Sorry for not updating sooner but I had to watch the movie for the fight scene as I don't remember all of it.
I will get started on the next chapter right away but it might take a little time. I have a concert tomorrow and then I have to prepare of mid terms. After that I should be good to go until winter break.
Please let me know what you thought of the chapter/story far!
Nyghtflower signing off for now~
