Chapter 8: Troubles.

OOOOOOOOOOOO

Ruin

OOOOOOOOOOOO

In the hidden valley the shrine that Drift and Nightflare have been residing in was completely turned to rubble, the once great sanctum now fire wood. Dreadwing stood some distance away from the ruin examining his handy work with the explosives he planted. He stayed around since he knew better than think a wooden structure collapsing can kill a full sized cybertronian even one the size of Jack. Suddenly a large section of rubble began to move before being flung into the air revealing Jack and Nightflare.

Jack quick checked his surrounding before his sight gazed upon Megatron's loyal SIC, he growled, "Dreadwing!" he shouted as he engaged his visor and face guard.

Jack then quietly told Nightflare to go find Drift while he dealt with Dreadwing before charging at his target, however before he reached Dreadwing, a sound that was similar to high-pitched jet engines suddenly sounded off to his left before something collided with him sending Jack flying through the air straight through a wooden pillar some distance from ruin. Jack managed to steady himself and then searched for whatever hit him. Turns out the thing that hit him was a vehicon but it was just as big and had a body structure similar to a insecticon had but had a vehicon head two giant jet engines perturding out of it's back and two smaller jet engines on it's elbows and its arms were large that were pointed at the edge. Jack shifted his hand to his path blaster and began to fire upon the new con but only for the blasts to barley faze it. 'Must be heavily armoured' Jack thought. Suddenly the same sound was heard above him so he quickly moved out of the way as another one of the new cons slammed the ground where he was, digging it's claws into the ground.

While this was happening Nightflare was searching through the ruin for Drift as Jack was diverting the cons attention, she was shifting the rubble that she was able to move trying to find her sensei that she failed to notice Dreadwing was towering over her. He looked down in surprise, "A youngling here, how?!" he told himself out loud catch Nightflare attention.

As if by instinct she suddenly jumped and back-flipped Dreadwing right under his chin, this force Dreadwings head upwards, but he slowly looked back at Nightflare, he chuckled darkly "You've got spark" he told her, "You'd make a fine warrior for lord Megatron".

He then went to grab Nightflare which she avoided by jumping up into the air, however Dreadwing Predicted this and he grabbed her while she was in the air. "Let me go!" she demanded as she struggled in the Cons grip.

Jack was currently wrestling with one of the new cons when he heard Nightflare shout. He turned his sight towards where her voice came from only to see her in in Dreadwings grip, he quickly spartan kicked the con before charging towards Dreadwing again only for another con to charge at him causing him and the con to roll some distance. When they sroppd rolling the con was on top of Jack while Jack was using his might to prevent the con from skewering him with its claws, "God Damn Leapers" he told himself while also dubbing the new type of vehicons name.

At this point Drift jumped out of nowhere kicking Dreadwing forcing him to let go of Nightflare, "You will not harm my student" he told him while drawing both his katana's.

"Ah an Autobot warrior that has honor other that prime", Dreadwing then drew his sword and took a stance for better performace as did Drift, "This will be one of the noblest fights on this planet"

"I disagree" Drift told him, before dashing at Dreadwing slashing at him, but Dreadwing although using a greatsword he was fast enough to block the attack then tried to swing at Drift. Drift avoided the attack but however he was alot slower than he was when he fought Jack the building collapsing on him had clearly injured him.

OOOOOOOOOOO

Autobot base

OOOOOOOOOOO

Back at the base, Smokescreen and Bumblebee had just arrived since they had to pick up Miko and Raf from school. (Smokescreen I've told you before) Bumblebee complained, (When the traffic lights tur red, you stop and wait for them to go green!)

Arcee caught wind of this again, "Smokescreen skipped a red light again?"

Bee nodded. (Literally how many times do you need to be told till you do as your told?)

Smokescreen just gve him a smile, "Come on Bumblebee, the vehicle I've chosen is ment for racing not remaining still".

"Still you need to remain unnoticed Smokescreen, drawing attention from human may cause attetion from the Decepticons aswell" Arcee told him.

"Can you lot be quiet!" Ratchet shouted still tending to Ironhide, "It's hard to concertrate with all that noise".

"What happened to Ironhide?" Raf asked.

"He challenge Jack to a game of lobbing, even though Jack didn't want to he ended up hurting Ironhide on his first throw" Arcee answered.

"Oh boy, lets hope Ultra Magnus doesn't find out abo..."

"I did" Ultra Magnus told them as he walked in the room, "An I had a word with him, however he got angry at orders I gave him and stormed off".

"He then came here and ground bridged somewhere else to calm down", Ratchet told them, "Speaking of which he should have been back by now?"

"I'll go and see whats holding him up" Arcee offered.

"I'll assist you Arcee" Magnus told her, "And before you tell me it's better for me to remain here I'm going to speak with him to...settle our differences".

Ratchet walked over to the Ground bridge controls and re entered the coordinates Jack used before Activating the ground bridge. Which lead to Arcee and Magnus transforming and driving through.

OOOOOOOOOOOO

Hidden Valley

OOOOOOOOOOOO

Drift and Dreadwing continued their duel neither letting up, Drift started to duel wield against his foe however still not able to land a hit. Jack was not doing any better the Leaper were beginning to swarm him and all he could do was keep dodging them. "I can't keep this up much longer" he told himself as he caught a Leapers Arms as it charged at him, he then heard another charging at him from behind, He swung the Leaper he caught and batted away the other Leaper. Two cons were sent flying.

This confused Jack since he didn't let go, he looked at what he was holding and saw he was still holding the Leaper's arm however it was torn clean off. Jack smiled, he finally found a way to fight these thing. Another Leaper attempted to attack Jack, however Jack caught this leapers arms, and then Spartan kicked the Leaper ripping off both of it's arms in the process. Nightflare was hidden behind some small boulders staying out of the action, when a swriling vortex suddenly opened behind her and two vehicles drove out and transformed. Both the bots saw the fight.

"Scrap the decepticons are here" Arcee cursed.

"And looks like Megatron has some new Vehicons at his disposal" Magnus added.

Arcee then saw Nightflare hiding from the fight, "Magnus there's a youngling here".

"I'll secure the youngling you help Jack" Magnus ordered, which Arcee nodded in agreement and bolted to where Jack was.

At this time Jack jammed the leapers he was holding to the massive engine in the cons back causing them to overload and exploded sending Jack flying. When he landed Arcee was now with him, "Jack are you ok" she asked making sure the new cons didn't attack".

Jack got up and said sarcstically, "Yeah I'm fine, I've just been chucked around this place by these new cons. And for advice blaster fire doesn't work on them there armor is too tough, I've only been able to disble them so far".

"Any ideas?" Arcee asked.

"Jack thought for a moment then remember what happened to the Leaper he attacked earlier, attack their engines that would cause them to overload and explode".

"Sounds like a plan" Arcee then Charge at one of the Leapers.

With Ultra Magnus, he had got to where Nightflare was, she was unaware that he was there. "Youngling" he asked, making her jump and kick Magnus across the face, leaving a large scratch.

"Ow" he said quietly, "Easy I'm not here to harm you".

Nightflare remained on edge, Magnus sighed, "I was not meant for this" regretting his decision.

While this was happening Drift and Dreadwing where still locked in combat, however Drift was surcoming to his injuries from Jack, he ws slowing down. "I see your tiring Autobot" Dreadwing told him, "It's only a matter of time beforeyou are defeated".

"Those with honor, will always succeed"Drift retorted, "You have none" he then thrusted both his katana's at Dreadwing however, he swung he greatword upwards forcing both of them out of his grip leaving Drift open.

He then thrust his sword at Drift. Drift optics widened his jaw quivered, he slowly looked down as he saw that Dreadwings sword had struck his spark. Dreadwing pulled his sword from his chest, "You fought well".

Drift then collapsed face first towards the ground, his optics flickering before going out forever. "SENSAI" Nightflare called out, catching Jacks attention and Jack saw in horror Drift was defeated by Dreadwing. His rage building he charged at Dreadwing, "DREADWING!" Jack called out as he jumped into the air a orange glowing sword suddenly spouted from his arm, he brought it down on Dreadwing who used his own sword to block the attck however it was slashed in two taking Dreadwings right hand with it.

Dreadwing jumped back and examined his injury, "Decepticon's retreat" he transformed and flew off followed by the remaining Leaper, who seemed to turn into vans witht he vehicon wings and the massive jet engines on their back.

Jack roared at the sky with the fury that ingnited inside him. However he calmed down when Nightflare ran up to Drift body to see that he was no longer with them. She started to cry into her metallic hands. Jack knelled down and patted her on the back gently to comfort her. Arcee ran over to see her former master on the ground. "M-master Drift?"

Jack looked at her then Magnus who walked over and with a different expression on his face, even lose of life still effects him even after his long year at war. Jack then picked up Drifts body, "Arcee...can you grab his swords, this warrior deserves a burial...along side a fellow autobot".

Arcee saddly nodded and picked up Drifts katana's and walked back over with them. Ultra magnus activated, "Ratchet we...we need a ground bridge".

A swirling vortex opened up and Arcee and Magnus went throught first, Jack went throught with Night flare behind him.

Once they were back at base all Autobots were all shocked to see one of their own had fallen, Jack, Arcee, Nightflare and Magnus,just walked past them and went up the elevator. Once they were outside Jack layed Drifts body next to Cliffjumpers grave and started to place rocks around Drift until he was completely covered. He then looked back at Arcee who handed him the katana's, he look at them for a while before sticking them in a X shape infront of Drift's Grave. Half an hour passed, Magnus went back inside, leaving the other bots alone, Arcee then nudged Jack's leg. "It's time to go prtner" she said in a sad tone.

Jack sadly nodded in response, he then knelt downnext to Nightflare, "It's time to go Nightflare", she didn't respond but she quietly followed behind Jack letting the sun melt on the once great warriors grave.
