Author's Notes: Well after a long time I finally updated this! This is probably the longest chapter this story has ever seen. This is also the climatic scene for this little story.
Thanks to all who favorited, alerted, and reviewed!
Hopefully you enjoy this chatper!
Starscream took off into the sky firing his lasers on the ground below him. The Autobots sprung into action, evacuating humans and engaging the incoming Decepticons.
Prowl started issuing commands "Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, to the front. Bluestreak to my flank. We'll try and get them away from the building. Bumblebee, check to see if there are still any humans over there by the stage. Get any humans to safety and join us when you've finished."
With that the combat began.
From the ground Sunstreaker and Sideswipe saw the trine of Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp form and begin their own attack of the Autobots that they have been doing for years without fail. Sideswipe gave a smile to his brother as they ran toward the three seekers. They dodged the missiles and laser fire directed towards them, teasing the three back with a few shots from their weapons.
Both sides were testing each others patience. Finally after a few minutes, Starscream led his wingmates in a dive towards the brothers, firing after them. Sunstreaker gave a laugh of victory as he jumped onto Starscream as he swooped down. Sideswipe followed suit and proceeded to land on Skywarp.
The two began their Jet Judo that had become infamous among the Autobots and Decepticons alike. They began twisting the jets around and hanging on for dear life as they went higher and higher off the ground. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker whooped and laughed with joy while continuing their judo.
"Thundercracker, get this Autobot off me!" Starscream screamed over his com link to the free wingmate. Thundercracker flew close to his trine leader trying to find a way of getting the constantly squirming Autobot off without making them both crash.
Off to the side a few hundred feet, Skywarp was teleporting to and fro, disorientating Sideswipe. Ever persistent and persevering Sideswipe hung on, hoping to wear down Skywarp's energy. Down below on the ground, Bluestreak took aim next to Prowl. It was too hard, even for the gunner to fire and not hit one of his fellow Autobots. They were just moving too much.
Prowl was watching for more Decepticons. He heard Megatron, but didn't see him yet. Which means he was waiting for something. Usually the three seekers were just the first wave to Megatron's attack. It was only on special occasions where Megatron just sent the trine of Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp. Even if they were alone, Prowl took no chances and called for backup. He wasn't sure if Skyfire or the Arialbots were available. Without them, they couldn't get the help they needed in time. He hoped for the best chances as he watched the twins hang on and fight their way through the seeker's tight maneuvers.
Bumblebee rushed to where the reception had been held. The stage had collapsed and there was wreckage everywhere, but no humans. Thinking all the humans had gone to safety, Bumblebee started to head back to help Prowl and the others. Suddenly, he heard a cough. "Is anyone there?" Bumblebee called out.
"O..Over here" came the muffled response. Bumblebee rushed to the fallen stage and pulled up some debris. He uncovered a coughing Brett Favre.
"Hey there Packer Bug" He said as a smile came to his face.
Prowl dodged the explosions of the missiles from the seekers. It was the same scene playing out before him: the seekers protesting every second the twins were on them while the twins tried to cause as much damage or possible crashes as possible.
"I've had enough of this" Starscream announced while increasing speed. He twisted and turned as he soared higher and higher. Starscream inwardly smirked. There was no way the Autobot could hang on and survive the punishment he was giving out, he thought.
Sunstreaker held on to each wing of Starscream's, moving with him, trying to figure a way out that didn't result in him deactivated. After a bit thinking Sunstreaker gave in to his last resort. "Oh, what the slag" he said as both of his feet pushed down on the back of Starscream's wings, causing Starscream into a full nose dive. Starscream struggled to get control of his own body. At the speed they were moving, Starscream calculated that it would be impossible for him to pull up in a few seconds.
Sunstreaker then, evacuated Starscream, dove off, and ejected his parachute. Starscream flew off to regroup with Thundercracker. As Sunstreaker was landing he remembered his brother still on Skywarp.
"Sideswipe!" he exclaimed.
"Over here Sunny." Sideswipe said coolly as he walked up to Sunstreaker.
"What? But…but you were…"
"Yeah I know…it got pretty nasty up there, so I just jumped off. We are getting better at our Judo though. I messed up Skywarp pretty good."
Sunstreaker crossed his arms. "So you left me up there alone?" "Don't worry I would have caught you." Sideswipe said with a cheeky grin.
"C'mon" he said. "We should go help the others."
Bumblebee and Brett Favre ran through the rubble of the stage and through the reception area. "I've got to get you out of here Brett. It's not safe for any human here. Do you have some sort of transportation to get out of here?"
"I do but it's out over towards the parking lot." The tow started heading over, when Bumblebee spotted something coming from the sky. "Get Down" Bumblebee grabbed the man and ducked behind the large building. "This is a bad spot we're in now Brett." "Why's that?"
"On the other side of this building, there is Megatron, Soundwave, and a whole bunch of other Decepticons." "Oh…I see" said the man, face turning paler by the second.
"Stay here and keep quiet." Brett nodded. Bumblebee snuck closer around the building and listened in on the discussion that was currently going on between the Decepticons, mostly Megatron was talking.
"Soundwave how many cubes have been made?"
"Not many. Approximately 34 have been produced due to how efficacy and slow start of the process." "
It will move faster. We need to. It's only a matter of time when Prime and reinforcements show up. By then we will be away from here with enough energy to defeat the Autobots and conquer the universe."
Bumblebee heard enough as he snuck away as Megatron was letting off his well-known laugh. Brett Favre was crouched down waiting for Bumblebee.
"Well? What's going on?" "Starscream and the other two attacks on Prowl and the others was just a diversion. Right now they're stealing the power plant's energy. I have to warn Prowl."
Not knowing who Starscream or any other of the Decepticons was, Brett nodded. "Ok. What should I do?" "Well…I can't leave you alone with Megatron so close. I guess you should come with me, but stay close because this can get dangerous." With that the two headed off towards the battle.
Gunshots and lasers sounded out through the whole field where the battle had moved to.
"Something's wrong." Prowl said. "They are not making any advanced and they haven't retreated yet either."
Just then Bumblebee ran up with Favre trailing behind him. He then began to tell Prowl the events that had happened. "Well we can't do anything until reinforcements get here. All we can do is hold out and wait. Brett spoke up. "What we need is a miracle."
"Well we may not be a miracle, but we are here to help." A voice said from behind the group.
Optimus Prime.
Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker landed before Megatron.
"Starscream you fool! Why aren't you at your assigned post!"
Starscream's face turned into a dark scowl. "As much as I love to be a decoy to Autobots" there was a distinct sarcasm in his voice "but that traitor Skyfire has brought Optimus Prime and other reinforcements."
A growl escaped Megatron. "They've come sooner than we expected. No matter we will get our energy. But first the Autobots will learn what happens when they interfere with the Decepticons and their rightful path to power."
"I've heard that before" Starscream scoffed.
Skywarp whispered something inaudible to Thundercracker.
Megatron looked over at them. "What was that?"
"Nothing Sir" Skywarp answered suddenly standing at attention.
"Well since you two seem so eager to talk, you both can chatter your vocalizes away while you guard the energon. " "Yes sir" They both answered solemn and embarrassed.
"Decepticons, to the sky!" All the present Decepticons leapt up, leaving Skywarp and Thundercracker behind.
"Interesting" Optimus mused after Prowl and Bumblebee were done briefing him about their situation.
"We need to get to that power plant and stop the Deceptions from draining its energy."
Bluestreak spoke up. "Hey guys…where did the three Deceptigoons that were just attacking us go?"
Explosions suddenly were around the Autobots. "Decepticons Attack!" Megatron shouted.
"Does that answer you question Bluestreak?" Bumblebee shouted while pointing out the Decepticons. The Autobots scrambled.
"Autobots prepare for battle" Optimus Shouted. He began to command the large group of Autobots to different locations and formations. "Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker, you are to go to the power plant and stop the production of the energon cubes. Take the human with you to and get him to safety."
Bumblebee transformed and Brett Favre jumped inside. The three headed off into the direction of the power plant.
"Hey Sunny" Sideswipe said as they were running aside Bumblebee. "What?"
A loud clank added to the symphony of noise around the three. "Punch bug, no punch backs!"
Bumblebee sighed. "Why me? Why Now?"
"Skywarp, why do you get me into these things? Now we are stuck here because of you!" Thundercracker pointed one of his large metal fingers at Skywarp.
Skywarp crossed his arms. "Well don't blame me!"
"Why not? You're the one who got us into this and stuck with guard duty."
"Will you quit your whining!"
"I'm not whining."
"Besides we have all the energy we need right here and more!" Skywarp motioned to the cubes.
"We could have a few, without anybody knowing a thing."
"No. We are already in enough trouble"
While the two were arguing whether or not to indulge in the cubes, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker were hiding behind the power plant, listening in.
"Hey it's only those two, we can take them. Besides I have a score to settle with Skywarp." Sideswipe whispered. Brett Favre jumped out of Bumblebee and he transformed. "You stay here"
Bumblebee pointed down to his spot where the man sat before when Bumblebee spied earlier on the Decepticons. "Fine" he said and sat down slowly.
"Let's go" Sunstreaker said. Bumblebee nodded. "Ok, but let's try a quiet…"
The twins were attacking the two guard seekers before Bumblebee could finish his sentence. Bumblebee rushed out to join them. He wasn't sure how much he could help in fighting.
Seeing that the four of them were busy, Bumblebee headed to the energon cubes. Next the cubes he saw energy being taken through the plant via different Cybertronian wire and circuits. Finding no other way of stopping the process, Bumblebee began pulling circuits and wires, causing a systematic failure in the energy process.
Just as he saw the production of energon stop, Bumblebee saw Sideswipe and Sunstreaker thrown over his head. He turned around to see Skywarp and Thundercracker standing before him.
"Looky here TC, a little lost Autobot near our energon."
"Mhp…Maybe we should show him out."
"TC, you know what this little bug transforms into?" Skywarp gave Thundercracker a sly look.
"What Warp?" Skywarp took a big swing and punched Thundercracker square in the chest.
"A punch bug!"
Skywarp and Thundercracker busted into laughter not noticing the sudden mood change the Autobot was going through.
"No…no…no…not here." Bumblebee barley said. "No…not them……That's It!"
Bumblebee gave out a roar of anger as he dove towards the two seekers. He began ripping and punching at Skywarp's wings with such ferocity while he was latched on to them.
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker looked at each other. Was this the Bumblebee they knew fighting with such rancor and dexterity?
"Ow! Thundercracker get this little runt off my wing! He's tearing it apart!"
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker sprang at the two to help Bumblebee.
Soon the seekers were retreating and shouting about how the Autobots had all gone crazy. A few moments later, the three heard the call from Megatron to retreat.
Bumblebee watched them all leave with a disapproving look and a small snarl to his features.
"That felt good" he said. The twins looked at him with worry in their optics.
"Uh, Bee. Do we need to talk?" Sideswipe said. Bumblebee gave a sigh, and turned around to look at them.
"Yes, I really think we need to."
Author's Notes: Well that was it the big battle scene. Don't worry Bumblebee is not scared for life or anything.
I hope you liked it even though I'm not the best at writing big battle scenes like this.
