TRANSFORMERS: Dark Side of the Moon
Chapter 10

Chicago, Illinois
2012

They got to the battlefield in record time. Ratchet screeched to a halt and Matsuri scrambled out so that he could transform, which took half the time it usually would, and he had already begun to fire at the remaining Decepticons. Matsuri ran over to Sam and Carly, who had just gotten out of Bumblebee and is now a bus stop. Ratchet came near them a second later, protecting them the best he can before he had to go away to help the others.

"Oh my God. Oh my god." Sam mumble and he stared up at the sky and Matsuri followed his gaze. Up in the sky was Cybertron's surface and her spark fell. This was what Sentinel and Megatron wanted all along. They had wanted to bring their planet hear, the effects on the Earth be damned.

A shell hit beside her, making her jerk into the bus stop again. Then, the familiar sound of thrusters reached her ears and she looked up, seeing a familiar form steer towards the battle.

"Optimus!" Sam called and then the momentum made the leader go skidding forward, shooting and ripping the Decepticons apart, letting his tech drop from his frame. Then, he was running, slicing two cons apart.

He jumped over a blast from Shockwave's canon, rolled forward once, and then punched Shockwave in the side, taking it apart before he punched the one optic mech again and then he tore his lone optic out and used the canon to shoot at the control pillar, making it go tumbling down to the ground below.

"Get down here Sentinel!" Optimus commanded, his voice clear and laced with anger. Matsuri, Sam and Carly got as close as they could, hiding.

"Optimus, you forget your place!" Sneered the older mech before he jumped down from his perch and landed on the ground below. "I bring you Cybertron, your home, and still you choose humanity."

"You were the one who taught me freedom is everyone's right." Optimus brought out his axe and sword and charged at his former mentor.

Matsuri watched as Optimus pushed Sentinel up against the building before Sentinel pushed him away and then kicked him back.

"Okay," Sam went over to Carly. "I've got to try and help. I must. You stay here."

"Don't you go, don't go." Carly tried to convince him.

He simply took Carly's face in his hands, looking straight into her eyes. "You'll be fine, okay? I promise. I got to get to that pillar."

He stood up before pausing and looking over to Matsuri, who was now staring at the two with an unreadable expression.

"I'll help Optimus." She stated at last.

Sam opened his mouth but paused, then slowly closed it again. He stared into her red gaze before he nodded, understanding coming into his eyes. With one, last shared look, the two went on their own way. Sam towards the pillar, Matsuri towards the battling Primes.

She tried to fly but it was no use, the bent of her wing was preventing her. Still, that didn't stop her and so she ran. She was a little slower for now and soon, she was running with the humans and Autobots. The fighters started to go after Optimus but Matsuri paid them no heed as she unsheathed her sword. She had her sights set of the killer of her sire and her twins.

She used her thrusters to propel herself upwards, high enough for her to land on Sentinel's shoulder and began and slice and dice the armor there just as the other Autbots joined in, trying so hard to do any amount of damage to their enemy.

"Decepticon, trigger the pillar!" Sentinel commanded as he strike at the Autobots while trying to dislodge Matsuri. "Restart that pillar!"

"I can't hold them! The ships have us pinned!" Optimus shouted as he shot at the fighters before having to get out of the way of an engine that was falling towards him. Then, a blast explodes under his frame, causing him to get sent flying on his back. Then, the remaining fighters were shot out of the sky.

A pillar of light suddenly went up towards Cybertron, and it began to be transported once again.

"Rocket!" Someone yelled and Matsuri quickly jumped off Sentinel, just as the rocket made contact with his chest and exploded, making him go flying back. He began to go on all fours before he transformed and began to try and make his escape.

Optimus was quick to give chase, going after him towards a bridge before tackling him, making him transform and their battle begin again.

"Always the bravest one of us!" Sentinel grunted as he was pushed back and Optimus trying to do what damage he could. "But you could never make the hard decisions! Our planet will survive!"

Matsuri scrambled over to the bridge and looked just to see Sentinel stabbing Optimus through the shoulder and ripped the younger Prime's arm clean off.

"Optimus!" she shouted as Sentinel pushed him to the ground and stabbed him once through the other shoulder.

"We were gods once. All of us! But here…there will only be one!"

"Please…" Optimus tried to plead, tried to reach his former mentor, but it was no use.

Then, Matsuri was moving and she launched into the air and onto Sentinel's shoulder again before she stabbed her sword into the side of the Prime's helm, jabbing it as deep as it could go. Sentinel snarled as he whipped around but she held fast to the hilt of her sword so she wouldn't go flying. Once she had her feet planted on the armor again, she began to twist the sword, ignoring the energon that had begun to rush out.

Suddenly, she felt herself being grabbed and jerked her away, making her sword slide out of his helm. Then, she was in front of Sentinel's face, his angered blue optics glared into her blazing red ones.

"I should have killed you when I killed the weakling." He sneered.

"Go to hell!" Matsuri sneered right back and then she was lifted before Sentinel threw her down to the metal of the bridge. The force made the metal dent, almost to the point of her falling through. Now, both of her wings were bent, which made it very painful. She heard metal scraping metal and she glanced over. She so Optimus shifting, trying to get close enough to cover her body with his. She looked back at Sentinel and so that his blade was over his head, reading to bring it down.

One blast hit his back, making a shower of sparks shower from both his back and front. Another hit him and then a third. Sentinel tried to turn around to counter the attack but Megatron grabbed the mech and threw him down.

Matsuri forced herself to lift herself out of the dent and stumble over the steel railing, leaning against one and watching as the unexpected moment unfold.

"This is my planet!" Megatron snarled. He knocked Sentinel's helmet off and started to beat on him. His blows coming in hard and heavy until he reached and tore some wires and components out before throwing him to the ground and turned towards a slowly standing Optimus. "Now, we need a truce. All I want is to be back in charge. Besides, who would you be without me, Prime?"

Optimus turned his optics towards Megatron, regarding the other before he narrowed his optics. "Time to find out."

His voice was quiet, but something was different about it, something that Matsuri couldn't place. There was a shink and his battle mask slid together over his face before he grabbed his axe and threw it and it became lodged into Megatron's chest. Optimus grabbed the Axe, yanking it out before going behind Megatron and slammed the blade against the still damage part of the Decepticon leader's head and then he lodged his axe into the middle of the silver mech's head and tore the head from it's body, a spray of energon arched high in the air before the body fell to the ground and Optimus dropped his axe, the head still attached to it.

"Optimus," Sentinel croaked as he noted that Optimus was walking over towards him. "All I ever wanted was the survival of our race. You must see why I had to betray you."

Optimus paused and picked up Megatron's shotgun before he straightened up. "You didn't betray me. You betrayed yourself."

Sentinel heard the shotgun becoming armed and the whirling of it's inside as it was pointed at his head. "No, Optimus!"

The first shot went through Sentinel's chest, causing his body to bounce and leaned against the railings. The second one went straight through his head, offlining him once and for all.

Optimus through the weapon down, marking the end of the long, devastating and tiring war.
