Chapter 11: Attack
Zoey and Chris waited outside of Primordium's room until he was deep in recharge. Both ran to the main hanger. Ratchet started up the ground bridge. Katie gave a kiss to Chris before he went into the portal. Zoey nodded to WheelJack who nodded back. Arcee, WheelJack, Bulkhead, Ultra Magnus, Chris, Bumblebee, and Smokescreen walked through the blue-green portal. Once the portal closed Zoey spoke up, "Is the trap set for the intruder?" Knockout came through the door way, "Now it is. Let's hope he enjoys my surprise." Ratchet hushed the group and all hoped the plan went according to plan.
Autobots
The Autobots waited behind different places waiting for the signal. Once Magnus was sure that this would work he gave the signal for the Wreckers to move forward. The two went to the ship guns on the ready. They were to make Lockdown come out of the ship and cause a diversion. WheelJack was the first one to the door and banging the door in. Lockdown jumped out of recharge due to the alarm going off. "Soundwave what is going on?" he asked once inside the control room. "Primordium: lied. Attack: now." Soundwave said in his monotone voice. "Slag. When I get my hands on Primordium I will return him to his brother!" Lockdown growled as the ship's doors were forced open. He was face to face with the Wreckers. "Fancy meetin' you here," WheelJack said swords pointed at him. Bulkhead looked around the ship and spotted the real Starscream and Shockwave. Both looked surprised to see him. Bulkhead went to the cell door and tried to get the lock to open.
Bumblebee and Chris went around and under the ship, placing time bombs that Knockout and WheelJack had made. Bumblebee got a comm from Bulkhead. :: Hey, we have some prisoners on this ship that I could use some help getting out. :: Bumblebee looked to Chris and repeated the comm. Chris shrugged, "I don't know how to pick a lock. Especially not an alien lock. Maybe Smokescreen does." Bumblebee Smokescreen who was all too eager to help with the task. The comm made Magnus and Arcee come with him, wanting to help WheelJack. When getting inside of the ship WheelJack was in full battle mode with Lockdown. "Go help Bulkhead," Magnus ordered Smokescreen. He ran towards Bulkhead. When Smokescreen saw who was in the cell, he stopped in his tracks. "We can't help them." "Yes we can. They did nothing to us." Arcee helped Magnus and WheelJack get Lockdown tired out. Out of the corner of Arcee's optic she saw Starscream, Shockwave, Bulkhead, and Smokescreen getting out of the ship. "Sir we need to leave!" Arcee yelled at Ultra Magnus and WheelJack. WheelJack managed to severely damage Lockdown before following his commander out the door.
Bumblebee and Chris were waiting for their comrades to exit the ship and meet them. They watched Starscream go towards the night sky while Shockwave followed the others. : Ratchet open the ground bridge.: Bumblebee commed. Static. : Ratchet?: Static was the response.
