Transformers Aero Episode 10: Trials Part 2
NOTES: IAmASonOfPosiedon, so good to see you back on the comments. It wasn't an easy choice to kill Jazz, but I just went with it.
This next Chapter is all about the occuring battles that were taking place in Chapter 9 aka part 1 of this episode.
Ratchet had finally finished the repairs on Thundercracker and Cliffjumper. Cliff was anxiously waiting for Ratchet to update him on the missions. Ratchet looked at his computer and knew he would have to tell Cliff sooner or later, which he dreaded because he knew Cliff would want to go out there immediately.
"Alright Ratchet!" said Cliff. "I have waited long enough! Are we going to have to go in or not?"
"I am afraid that you will, Cliffjumper" said Ratchet. "I am sending you to help Ironhide. He needs your help right now!"
"Thanks Ratchet!" said Cliff as he bridged out of the base and into the battle scene of Ironhide and Blackout.
"Thundercracker, I need you to go to help Optimus!" said Ratchet. "Soundwave has him in a bind right now, Megatron is temporarily out of commission so you should be able to be pretty effective!"
"Alright! I am on my way Ratchet!" said Thundercracker as he transformed into his jet mode and flew into the bridge.
"Wheelie I need you to stay here and run mission control while I am gone!" said Ratchet to Wheelie.
"Where are you going?" said Wheelie.
"To bring the humans back!" said Ratchet. "Their work is done now!" Ratchet transfromed and drove into the bridge.
"Now what am I gonna do?" said Wheelie as he looked at the tv. "Alright! Friday fight night wrestling! Whooooooo!"
Ironhide and Blackout were having an intense battle. But Ironhide just couldn't get to Blackout's weak points. Ironhide let his guard down looking for a better attack zone and got blasted and then kicked back, pushing back a lot of dirt when he landed.
"Give up Autobot!" said Blackout. "You lose!" Blackout got his sword ready to gut Ironhide but just in the knick of time, Cliffjumper came to the rescue, blasting the blade out of Blackout's grasp.
"Blackout!" said Cliffjumper. "Still as ugly as ever!"
"You're injured Cliff Jumper, don't interfere or you will die!" said Blackout.
"Wanna bet?" said Cliff as he made an assult on the decepticon. Cliff was so fast and Blackout was so big and bulky that almost all of Cliff's attacks were not seen. However, Cliffjumper made a mistake by attacking Blackout's arm. Blackout grabbed Cliff Jumper and threw him at the ground and he too, moved some dirt.
"Where did Ironhide go?" said Blackout as he looked around. He then noticed that Cliff Jumper had managed to escape his vision too. He had his cannon armed and ready for anything.
Optimus had struggled to get up from his recent blow by Soundwave. Megatron was starting to regain consciousness. Soundwave stood to the side to let Megatron try to finish Prime off on his own.
"Thanks Soundwave" said Megatron. "Now Optimus Prime, you will die!" Megatron deployed his sword and prepared to strike but out of no where he was kicked on the back of the head and knocked back over, still conscious.
Soundwave looked surprised to see the one who made the next move. "Thundercracker!" said Soundwave.
"So it is true!" said Megatron. "You did become a traitor and join the Autobots."
"Optimus is twice the leader you will ever be, Megatron!" said Thundercracker.
"I'll kill you!" said Soundwave as he began to fight Thundercracker. Soundwave swung at Thundercracker but missed, Thundercracker then returned and was far more successful. A huge blow to the face, but it only fazed him enough that he took a couple of steps back and he was holding his face. "You will pay for that, traitor!" said Soundwave.
"I already have!" said Thundercracker as he shot Soundwave again, forcing the Decepticon to fly off.
"He'll be back!" said Thundercracker to himself. He decided to tend to Optimus first. "Are you okay Optimus?"
"I'll be fine, but I am not so sure about Megatron" said Optimus as he pointed to Megatron's motionless body as he had colapsed a few seconds earlier.
Thundercracker recognized what Megatron was doing and he was far from done. "I regret to tell you this, Optimus but Megatron isn't down and out yet!" said Thundercracker.
"I know" said Optimus, picking himself up off the ground.
Suddenly, there was movement with Megatron. His body began to operate again. Megatron's angry and evil eyes opened and he sprung up from lying on the ground. "You can't defeat the greatest warrior in Cybertron!" said Megatron.
It was obvious that Megatron wasn't near as strong as he was when he arrived on the scene and most of his Decepticon drones had been killed, with Soundwave fleeing the scene, the odds were not in Megatron's favor, at least until Optimus started to show signs of weakness himself.
"Thundercracker, this is between me and Megatron!" said Optimus.
"Let's finish this, Prime!" said Megatron.
Thundercracker just stood back and watched the two drained warriors throw punches and kicks at each other. Both were fighting with hearts of warriors.
"You will not harm this planet or the humans or other creatures that inhabit it!" said Optimus Prime.
"Fighting for the weak will just make you weak as well!" said Megatron as he and Optimus had each grabbed one another's arms. Optimus was able to break free of Megatron's hold and get a good punch on him. Megatron, however retaliated and kicked Optimus. Optimus was leaking energon and badly leaking it at that. Thundercracker noticed this but he was too busy to also notice that Megatron was also leaking energon.
"Optimus, I cannot let you die like this! We still need you!" said Thundercracker. "You and Megatron will both die if you keep this up!"
Soundwave re-appeared on the scene, and looked like he was going to fight but rushed straight to Megatron.
"Lord Megatron, he may be a traitor but he is right!" said Soundwave. "Please call off this madness and come get rested up!"
Megatron thought about it and decided to heed Soundwave's advice. "O-okay!" said Megatron hardly getting his words out. "Retreat Soundwave and all other decepticons! But Optimus, heed my warning! I will be back and I will show NO MERCY!" Soundwave grabbed Megatron and flew off, with the remaining Decepticons following them back to their base.
"Thank you, Thundercracker!" said Optimus. "Any doubt of your true loyalty was tested today and you passed!"
"Glad to hear it Optimus!" said Thundercracker.
Ratchet had arrived to do what he was supposed to do, grab the humans and bridge back to base. Jesse, Liz, Andre, and Jackie climbed into Ratchet as he prepared to go. "Come on Harv!" said Ratchet as he tried to coax the human inside.
"Thanks, but no thanks Ratchet!" said Harv. "I have some unfinished business with some Decepticons first!"
"Fine, be a stubborn human adult!" said Ratchet as he drove back into the bridge with the kids.
"Let's dance Decepticons" said Harv to himself as he prepared to re-enter the battle scene with all the carnage and chaos.
Skywarp continued to hold Arcee hostage on top of building where he had himself perched. Bumblebee was helpless to help at the moment.
"Ha ha ha!" said Skywarp. "Do you give up, Bumblebee?"
"Shut up, you jerk clown!" said Bumblebee.
"You have five more minutes to give me an answer! It's either the artifact or your friend!" said the sinister Skywarp.
"I have a better idea!" said Bumblebee. "Why don't you fight me for both of them?"
"No! Don't do it, Bumblebee!" said Arcee. "He will trick you!"
"Shut up, prisoner!" said Skywarp. "Why don't I fight? Try the fact that I am still recovering from being in stasis mode for all these years! Do you really think I will give you that unfair advantage?"
"You seem just fine to me you coward!" said Bumblebee.
"I'll be sure to let Optimus know that an Autobot instigated a fight! I am sure he'd be very pleased to hear that!" said Skywarp sarcastically.
"I'm sure Megatron would love to know that you are a coward and a decepticon never backs down from a fight!" said Bumblebee.
"Very well" siad Skywarp. "But it's your funeral!" Skywarp jumped off the building and landed on the street waiting for Bumblebee, who jumped off seconds later to join his foe. "You there, guard my hostage!" Skywarp commanded one of his drones.
"You don't want to mess with me!" said Bumblebee. "I'll make your day into a bad one!"
"Keep talking, scout!" said Skywarp. "I'll show you what a Seeker is made of!"
Bumblebee charged at Skywarp while he wasn't looking and got rammed pretty hard, he then fell backwards and hit the road pretty hard.
"Is that all you got?" said Bumblebee, circling the decepticon.
"No!" said Skywarp as he got up and started slashing at Bumblebee with his sharp claws. He missed him every time but he was still going at him, trying to get the drop on him. "Not bad, scout!" Skywarp deployed his cannons and peppered Bumblebee with multiple and rapid shots.
Bumblebee fell on his knees and began to scream.
"Bwa ha ha ha ha!" said Skywarp. As he began to laugh he felt something hit his head. Harv, the agent was shooting his pistol at Skywarp's head. "Puny little human! I am not going to play games with you, I will kill you!"
"Taste the flavor of America, punk face!" said Harv as Max came out from behind Harv and attacked Skywarp.
"This is for Jazz!" said Max as he repeatedly punched Skywarp.
Bumblebee had seen enough. "Enough Max!" said Bee. "He's had enough."
Max got off Skywarp and Skywarp got up and prepared to fly off but Max cuffed his wings together with wing cuffs.
"Cursed Autobots!" said Skywarp as he pushed Max back and ran off.
While all this was going on Speed was climbing the building that Arcee was being held captive on, to attempt to rescue her. His mission was a success as he reached the top and punched the drone that was guarding her. The drone wasn't going to take anymore as he flew off the building, as he watched his commander retreat.
Arcee was released and all looked well as she and Bumblebee were reunited. Bumblebee's injuries were rough but minor. However, the mission wasn't a total success; the artifact had fallen into decepticon hands, while the Autobots were dealing with Skywarp and the drones, Lazerbeak, one of Soundwave's henchmen was able to sneak in and obtain it.
"We basically blew this mission!" said Max.
"Not entirely!" said Bumblebee. "I know it may not seem like it but we became better warriors out there. Even the kids put in an effort! I think Optimus will be proud of all of us!"
"Dang, Bee you're starting to sound like Optimus" said Arcee.
"Maybe Bumblebee could be the next prime! Ha ha" said Speed.
"I highly doubt that will ever happen" said Bumblebee. "But if it does, I sure hope it doesn't for a long time!"
Blackout was growing impatient with Ironhide and Cliffjumper. He had circled around looking for them. His problem was that he was so big and slow that if they were near they were evading his eyesight. Cliffjumper had used his cleverness to hide on Blackout's back. He climbed up to his head and knocked on it.
"Is anybody home?" said Cliffjumper, showing his upside down goofy face above Blackout's face.
"Get off of me you!" said Blackout as he began to run around jumping and clawing a the top of his head trying to grab Cliff Jumper.
Ironhide used this opportunity to blast him with everything that he had, as he came out from behind the trees. Ironhide hit Blackout repeatedly until it started to effect him. "You cheated!" said Blackout.
"All's fair in love and war!" said Ironhide as he blasted Blackout's face, leaving Blackout holding his face and cringing in pain. "That was for my father!"
"And this is for Optimus Prime!" said Cliff Jumper as he deployed his sword and cut off Blackout's head.
But their victory was short lived when out of the sky the space bridge opened up right above where Ironhide and Cliffjumper were standing. They decided to take cover before the decepticons that were exiting the bridge discovered them.
They saw that Starscream had led them to earth, and the bridge obviously came from Cybertron. Starscream stopped for a moment to look around.
"Looks like Blackout was weaker than I thought!" said Starscream as he picked up his head and looked at his motionless body. "Do you have anything you want to say, Shockwave?"
"All hail Megatron!" said Shockwave.
"Yes, yes, yes we can continue this at the Decepticon base!" said Starscream. "Wait a minute! Why is that bridge not shut yet?"
To his alarm a small Autobot wrecker ship emerged from the space bridge and came out shooting at the Decepticons. Starscream messaged Soundwave to get the ground bridge ready so that they all could escape to the base. All of them, even Shockwave, went in.
Ironhide and Cliff Jumper came out from behind the trees to great the new arrivals. Much to their pleasure, the legendary Wheeljack was the first to walk out of the ship. "Hello Ironhide!" said Wheeljack. "Did ya miss me?"
"Not a bit, actually!" said Ironhide.
"Haven't changed a bit!" said Wheeljack as he, and Bulkhead.
"We must take you to base to see our leader Optimus Prime!" said Cliff.
"I've never made his aquaintance but he is a prime. I will look forward to seeing him" said Wheeljack.
"I hope you don't mind if we come in and wreck your party" said Bulkhead.
"Your assistance will be greatly appreciated, I assure you!" said Ironhide.
Ratchet activated their ground bridge, opening the portal into the Autobot base.
"Ratchet you're going to love this" said Ironhide as he led them in.
