Chapter 9: What happens in Jasper, is shared with the world
"HELP US!" Yolanda yelled as a building started to fall. She thought that both of them were going to die, that is until Bulkhead saved them from the falling ruble by blocking it with his arms.
"Didn't you hear Optimus, follow Arcee and Stingray out of here." Bulkhead said as he got up and ripped a vehicon's spark out.
"Didn't you hear me I said RUN!"
"Right come on Brundan." The two started to run off into the direction that the other humans were being evacuated to. Ratchet had programmed the Ground Bridge to redirect the people that came through into a military base for them to stay in until Jasper could be rebuilt.
"Hey lady, you and your friend have to go through the Ground Bridge." Arcee said to Yolanda as she continued to set up her tri-pod.
"I can't leave yet, the world needs to see what's happening here." Yolanda said defiantly.
"Well then you'd better hurry up, the fight's getting closer."
"Arcee what are you doing, we're supposed to be robots in disguise." Stingray said sounding a bit frustrated.
"Well our cover's already been blown, not to mention that her broadcast earlier was probably cast worldwide. So what's wrong with her leaving a camera here anyway."
"This is Yolanda Nikolai reporting from the outskirts of Jasper, Nevada. There seems to be two different factions of this new race of sentient beings. Some of the good ones are still in there fighting for our safety. Two of them helped the residents of the town to escape. The evil robots are being led by the big silver one, so just know that out of that whole race of beings there are some that are looking out for us.
"Ma'am you need to go, now." Arcee said as Yolanda finished her sentence.
"I CAN SEE KNOCKOUT, IM GOING AFTER HIM." Stingray yelled as he bolted forwards. As Knockout saw this he transformed and got out his electrically charged staff. As the two fought Yolanda got up from her position on the ground, mounted the camera onto the tripod, and ran through the ground bridge. SCREEEEEEECH. The sound filled the air as Stingray drug the tip of his sword against Knockouts chassis. The decepticon had barley backed up enough to keep from getting the slash 4 ft. threw his chest.
"AAAH, WHAT IS WITH YOU AUTOBOTS AND SCRATCHING MY FINISH!" Knockout yelled as he went for a killing blow, but somehow got knocked out in the process.
"Every single autobot must get out of the town right now. This place is going up in smoke." They heard Donnavon say over the comm.. Over the last few days the autobots had learned to do what he said, when he said it.
"AUTOBOTS RETREIT TO THE GROUND BRIDGE FOR IMMEDIATE EVACUATION." Optimus yelled into the comm. link.
"You're not going anywhere Optimus Prime. Like you said, we and this here and now."
"One shall stand..."
"And one shall fall." Megatron finished as he gave a wicked scowl. Not a minute later there was huge blast as the whole city went up in an explosion bigger than a mushroom cloud. As the Ground Bridge started to close Optimus, and the camera, came through. And with that everyone at the military base started to cheer. However, when the U.S. troops started to pour into the room, all became quiet. That's when they saw General Brice.
"General Brice what is the meaning of this." Optimus asked as a look of shock came across his face.
"I'm sorry Optimus but the higher ups seem to think that both factions were in on destroying the town. They want you and your team taken into custody." The general said with a sad expression on his face.
"Over my dead ass body." came the familiar voice from out of nowhere. Then in a puff of water vapor Donnavon appeared right in front of everyone, battered, beaten, weak.
"If your government is going to try to capture the autobots, then you're going to have to go threw me first." Donnavon stated with a look that meant that he meant business. Then out of nowhere pieces of metal started forming on his body. With a closer look Optimus saw that it was coming from inside of him. Then just as he finished his analysis, the thirteen year old started to gain size as more pieces of metal formed on his body until he looked like he was a decepticon drill platform with a cockpit on his back big enough to house five to six humans.
Right after this just happened the ground bridge reactivated and Jack came through. Serra and Vince had just made their way to the autobots when he did.
"Jack you know these... these things." Serra said, surprise written all over her face.
"Hey were not things missy, were autobots." Arcee said with a bit of attitude in her voice.
"Are you guys going to go through already? Because I'm pretty sure they have helicopters on their way to your base right now." Donnavon said as two swords appeared in his hands from streams of water. Everybody took that as their cue to leave, and they did. As soon as they were back at base Optimus started inputting codes into the main computer, locking out systems. After he was finished with that he activated all ghost protocols. From that point on they were in hiding. Optimus chose to reassign Stingray to another partner, who just so happened to be Vince. Optimus took June as his charge and Ratchet to Serra.
