The Autobots got their weapons with Ultra Magnus wielding a sword and blaster, same wit Optimus, Ratchet two blades, Arcee, Wheeljack, and Bumblebee two blasters, and Bulkhead his two wrecking balls.
The insecticons begun to fire hitting them all but they stood their ground and the Autobots each had almost 3 Insecticons each to fight Ratchet was fighting one and they were locked with their melee weapons and Ratchet was getting a few strikes in here and there but he didn't stand much a chance against an Insecticon even in his best days he could only take on one or two at the most but Optimus was taking on 5 right now an handling them with ease.
Ultra Magnus and Optimus were the only ones in control of their engagements. Bulkhead was in a tie. Arcee and Bumblebee were teaming up to take out 2 insecticons. The team started to take hits after a while and Ratchet was losing badly his body was damaged and one of his swords broke leaving him with one sword, and an Insecticon hit him hard leaving him in a bad position with the Insecticon ready to terminate him. Ratchet yelled to Optimus.
"Optimus I require help" Ratchet heard nothing so he thought it was his time to join with the well of all sparks.
As the Insecticon was about to terminate him he knew he wasn't going to go out without a fight and he got his sword out and blocked the attempted kill shot, and drove his sword deep into the Insecticons spark killing him, he looked around to see Optimus coming over to him.
"Ratchet I see you haven't lost you fighting spirit yet." Optimus said as he saw that Ratchet killed the Insecticon.
" I guess I do old friend, now we should continue on." Ratchet responded with a smile.
"Yes lets roll." Optimus shouted as they steam rolled over the remaining attack that came their way.
They now entered Kaon, much to their surprise no one was guarding the main entrance, but things couldn't go well forever and shortly after they entered Kaon about 50 Vehicons dropped down and the Autobots immediately opened fire, Optimus felt the need to use his Gatling gun and he took out 10 easily but then switch to his normal blaster to save energon.
Ultra Magnus was using his gun he used on the attack on Darkmount instead of his blasters, most of the Autobots were using their guns they had on the attack, even Ratchet picked up a gun from Magnus' ship. He was a bit rusty at using guns since he hasn't used them in eons but he quickly learned. In short time they killed the Vehicons And moved closer to the door to Vector Sigma and the boys started their attack on the Autobots.
Megatron, Knockout, Shockwave, Starscream, Soundwave, and even an Insecticon joined them.
"Autobots attack." Optimus shouted this always seemed to give the team a morale boost for some reason.
Optimus was fighting Megatron, Ultra Magnus was fighting Shockwave, Bulkhead and Wheeljack were fight Soundwave and the Insecticon, and Arcee and Bumblebee were fighting Knockout.
Optimus and Megatron were tied with equal damage done to each other, Ultra Magnus had a very slight advantage over Shockwave but it was still pretty close, Arcee and Bumble bee beating knockout, and the Insecticon and Soundwave were beating Bulkhead and Wheeljack. Ratchet was not battling anyone outside but he was inside the citadel creating chaos. He was slowly destroying his citadel from the inside out and Optimus and the Autobots knew what he was doing but Megatron and the Deceptions had no idea he was here because he rarely ever fights.
"So Optimus it looks like you brought everyone here except that rusty medic of yours. Megatron teased but a large piece of debris fell on him.
"On the contrary Megatron he is here fighting and my the looks of your citadel he is winning." Optimus said.
"Decpeticons retreat to the Warship we must fall back to earth to regroup." Megatron commanded his troops.
"Good job old friend you really saved us there," Optimus said to Ratchet
"Yes Ratchet very good job we all owe you one." Ultra Magnus said
"It's OK everyone it was nothing." Ratchet replied
"OK Autobots we need you to stay here Ratchet, Ultra Magnus you are with me." Optimus commanded
His two lieutenants nodded, and the others stayed guard out side and even search the citadel for weapons and energon which they found. Ratchet, Ultra Magnus, and Optimus were walking to Vector Sigma when Optimus broke the silence.
"Ratchet do you want to see more action like fighting decepticons action?" Optimus asked
"I think it would be good for me to stay active and not struggle almost getting offline by a single Deception so yes Optimus I would like that." Ratchet replied
"Ratchet I hope you don't mind me asking but did you get your training at the elite guard?" Ultra Magnus asked.
"No why Ultra Magnus?" Ratchet asked.
"Because you fight style is much like me and my former elite guardsmen." Ultra Magnus replied
"Hm, that's interesting because I have always tried to be different from the elite guard because of me being stubborn and not wanting to join it despite you offer you gave me before the war." Ratchet replied.
The three Autobots continued walking down this path, and had several small conversations, but they weren't of great importance, the Autobots finally came across a giant door, big enough for someone the size of the Nemesis to fit through.
"Autobots we have arrived at Vector Sigma." Optimus Prime said as the giant doors opened before them.
Optimus placed the Key to Vector Sigma down in it's place and Vector Sigma powered up starting to refill the key with Matrix energy.
"By the All Spark this is amazing" Ratchet and Ultra Magnus said almost simultaneously.
"Optimus Deceptions are coming we tried to stop them but they were coming wave after wave." Arcee said over the comm.
"It's OK Arcee get to Ultra Magnus' ship so you can pick us off and maybe take out some Deceptions along the way.." Optimus replied.
"Autobots lock and load, we must defend Vector Sigma at all costs." Optimus shouted as his Lieutenants pulled out their weapons
A wave of Vehicons were flying down at started shooting at the Autobots the Autobots fired back picking them, off one by one. Optimus was sporting his two normal blasters, Ultra Magnus was using his big external blaster, and Ratchet was using a Sword and the gun he borrowed from Ultra Magnus. The Autobots quickly disposed of the first wave but then multiple waves of enemies started coming as it looks like the Deceptions were using all of their troops to stop the Autobots from leaving with a reloaded Matrix. Just as The troops were beginning to slow down Shockwave, Megatron, Starscream, Knockout, and Soundwave showed up and joined the attack.
Optimus seen his friends getting beaten badly, he had enough of this "Enough" Optimus shouted his team mates knew what was coming next. Optimus pulled out his Gatling gun and was mowing down Vehicons, Insecticons, and even got Megatron's Lieutenants to back off. Sure enough the only one left standing was Megatron Optimus knew that he was the only one left to defeat as his Decepticon team had left on board the Nemesis.
Optimus and Megatron charged at each other with their swords out ready for a epic show down. Their swords were locked together, Optimus pulled his swords away trying to clip Megatron"s shoulder but Megatron blocked that easy Megatron took a swing at Optimus he blocked that. This went on for several minutes before Optimus got hit in the shoulder and went back. He took out his blaster and started to fire On Megatron a few shots connected and got Megatron on the floor Optimus saw his chance and he charged at Megatron with his sword out. Optimus could have killed Megatron easy, but Optimus didn't want to kill Megatron he never try's to kill his enemy he try to disarm them. Optimus stabbed Megatron in his leg wounding him enough so he couldn't fire but not enough to where he couldn't escape. It was over Megatron has been defeated for now.
"Autobots let's get out of here." Optimus said as he Ratchet and Ultra Magnus transformed.
The other Autobots were in Ultra Magnus' ship waiting for them to return, and they got on the ship.
"Let's get out of here." Optimus said as he had enough of Kaon.
The Autobots arrived at their base one day later and had to continue with their plan to save Smokescreen.
Finally, that was the longest chapter I have wrote over 1400 words, I hope you guys enjoyed it :)
