Tranformers: Fragments of the AllSpark
Chapter 8: The Battle Part 2
Last time...
...Scope ducked under those arms and fired three shots into the thick armor on Axle's chest, then flipped backwards, doing a single-handed hand-spring and landing on his feet. He fired twice more, then ran forward and leapt over the large Decepticon, landing behind him. As the 'bot attempted to turn, Scope stuck an EMP mine on the back of Axle. Then he turned and leapt away, laughing.
The grenade went off, however, before he could get clear completely. He felt his entire left leg go numb, and fell on his face groaning.
Back in the present...
Scope groaned and rolled over…and looked into the face of Axle.
"EMP don't work…" HE said, as if it wasn't obvious. Then the larger Decepticon lifted Scope by the throat, his big hand wrapped all the way around. He raised the Autobot over his simple head, and then hurled him away, right into the Gym.
Scope went through the wall a hundred yards away. He groaned and attempted to pick himself up, but he couldn't. His right arm was dangling at a weird angle, and he couldn't move his legs, either. He looked down and saw a large piece of metal, probably a metal support strut in the wall, lodged into his torso.
"Ohh…" Everything went dark as he entered stasis-lock.
Hax smiled into Skipper's face. "Hey babe, how are things?" He said mockingly.
She growled and punched him in the chest, then kicked him in the head with a spinning kick. HE went flying to the side, and she pounced on him.
HE, however, rolled and caught her, twisting around and wrapping his arms under hers and behind her head in what the humans called a 'sleeper hold.' He smiled and bit her neck, his metal fangs digging into her circuits.
She screeched and bent forward, twisting him around and over her back. Unfortunately, his teeth remained imbedded in her neck, and he pulled her along with him.
She groaned as pain filled her brain, and she started seeing spots. He was hacking her matrix!!
She started to enter stasis-lock, groaning as his mind infiltrated hers. She collapsed against him, and Hax spat her out.
"I always hated the way you tasted." He said, licking his lips. Unfortunately, his eyes betrayed what he really felt: He loved to taste her. He always had.
He looked up just in time to see Axle approaching a broken section of Gym wall. He yelped and ran towards them, hoping he wasn't too late.
Nax saw his life flash before his eyes. He saw his first light, his first friend, his parents death, the love he had made with Becky, then this. It all seemed to slow. Even the blast of flame seemed to freeze.
He realized something then. It had stopped moving, wrapped in a bubble of black energy. He looked behind the small bubble, and saw that Snarl and Renegade were trapped in a large bubble of the same material.
Then the bubble started to shrink. Renegade and Snarl were pushed together, and, eventually, the bubble was no bigger than a large beach ball. The kinds humans throw around at parties.
Then the bubble vanished, leaving behind a ball of smashed metal and twitching limbs.
Nax looked curiously at the ball in front of him.
It was filled with flames, whirling around inside like a maelstrom. Then, the fire began to die as it was cut off from the oxygen fueling it.
"Hmm…" Nax said, then he looked back at Becky curiously. He yelped in surprise when he saw her.
She was standing, more or less. She was floating about three inches off the ground in a stance similar to standing. Her arms were a few inches away from her body, and her eyes had changed color: They were pitch black.
She looked down at Nax and said "We must hurry. Your friends are in trouble." His jaw would have fallen off had it not been attached to his Cranial plate. Then it really felt loose when the ground underneath him suddenly vanished and he was lifted into the air by a floating black disk. Then the disk lurched into motion, carrying him back to the football field.
Hax charged into Axle, clanging against his thick leg. The smaller Autobot fell backward, but Axle turned towards him, so all was not lost. Hax stood up and reached for an energy blaster, but it must have been dislodged in the fight with Skipper.
"Ah…slag." He said quietly, then darted to the side as Axle, with a battle-cry, lunged towards him, swinging his arms at the ground.
"Too slow!!" Hax cried, taunting the larger and less-intelligent Decepticon.
Unfortunately, the less-intelligent Decepticon saw the weapon that Hax had dropped when charging at him, and would have smiled had he been capable.
He swung his arms again, sweeping them upwards at Hax, who danced back and tripped over the gun.
Axle was on him in a flash, faster than even he himself had thought possible. He lifted Hax, lifting him five feet off the ground.
"You die now, dog-face." HE said in his monotone voice. Hax looked past Axle in surprise and, Axle being of remarkably low intelligence, turned around His one eye brightened as Nax fell from the sky, kicking him hard in that bright eye.
Axle let go of Hax, who quickly ran to the building to check on Scope.
Axle slowly pushed himself to his feet, swaying dangerously. Then he collapsed to the ground, in Stasis-lock.
Nax smiled at him, then ran towards Billiards and Omicron.
Billiards and Omicron were twirling around each other, their energy blades slowly weakening. They were even matches with blades, but Billiards knew that as soon as his blades vanished, Omicron would have the upper-hand.
Billiards blades winked out. As soon as the beams of energy vanished, he hurled himself backwards, reaching for his blaster. Omicron was faster.
He saw the blur, but he couldn't react in time. The face plate slid away, revealing Omicron's horrible face. The fangs darted forward, digging into his chest, and Billiards screamed.
He felt a huge piece of his chest armor, but only armor, tear away as Omicron went soaring away. Billiards fell backwards onto he ground, groaning. HE caught sight of the human Becky floating over him, a snarl on her face. She had her hands in front of her and her feet apart, and then he saw no more.
"SO, KILL THE ORGANIC, HUH!!" Becky screamed. Omicron looked up, swallowing the section of chest plate in his mouth.
"Organic has Kick, huh?" Omicron said, standing up and reaching over his shoulder to pull out a large cannon, which he aimed at Becky, a wide smile on his face.
"BACK OFF!!" Nax howled, barreling into the larger Decepticon leader, knocking him to the side and sending his shot wide. It collided with the building on the far side of the school, turning it into so much vapor…
