Trevor: Hey guys. This is Trevor.
Violet: AK would be here but he's recovering from his wounds created by…well all of us.
Patamon: That should show him not to screw with MY wedding.
TK: I never expected him to do something like that.
Steve: Let's see if this new chapter he wrote makes up for his mistake.
Takamon: AK does not own anything related to the Incredibles, Transformers, American Dad, or Digimon. He does however own me and Trevor here.
Trevor: As always…
Takamon: Make any jokes about that and we will kill you.
The AutoKnights III: A Third World
Chapter 12: The Stings of Hope & Light
(Odaiba Beach; 11:45 am)
Everyone on the beach was now looking in fear at what had just landed. It was Megatron. The Decepticon commander was on Earth. Starscream and Blackout were with him as well. It was Megatron, Starscream, and Blackout vs. Optimus Prime, Ironhide, and Ratchet. The three knights stood back to back in a circular position and cocked their guns. Megatron looked down at only Optimus.
"So, you're the boy who has the power of my old nemesis, Prime." Megatron said.
Optimus made his facemask appear over his mouth and lower nose.
"Yeah, and you're Megatron." Optimus said.
"That I am." Megatron said. "And the fact that I am here to fight you only angers me more."
"And why's that?" Optimus said.
Megatron growled and readied his fusion cannon.
"Because Prime's power should have been destroyed years ago. And now, I will finish the job!" he shouted as he pointed his cannon at the knights.
He fired his fusion cannon and a huge light blue glowing plasma shot came out of the barrel. The three knights all jumped out of the way in different directions. They maneuvered their best in the air so they moved away from the beach and away from their friends.
"You're going to have a hell of a time trying to kill me, Megatron!" Optimus shouted.
Megatron, Starscream, and Blackout all stepped over the staircase and right in front of the knights.
"Well, you sure do talk like Prime. Let's see if you can fight like him too!"
The Decepticons then charged.
"AutoKnights, transform!" Optimus ordered. "OPTIMUS PRIME, ROBOT MODE!!"
"IRONHIDE, ROBOT MODE!!"
"RATCHET, ROBOT MODE!!"
The three AutoKnights transformed into their robot modes and then ran towards their enemies. The three fired their guns at the same time, only for their shots to be avoided and only hit the ocean waters. Optimus but away his ion blasters and took out his right energon sword. He ran for Megatron. Ironhide still had her cannons out. She tackled Blackout. Ratchet began grappling and wrestling with Starscream. Megatron made a long blade extend form his over-sized right arm and began dueling with Optimus.
All the while, the digidestined and their digimon were all on the beach watching. They were looking around for their parents, but they were on the other side of the beach. So it was just them.
"Wow. That Megatron sure looks nasty." Davis said.
"No kidding." Ken said. "If their not careful, they could end up losing the fight."
After Ken stopped speaking, a sad sound was heard. Everyone looked behind them to see Gatomon sobbing into her large gloved paws. Patamon was trying his best to comfort her. No one could even begin to imagine how crushed she was. Today was supposed to be the best day of her life, but now it was in shambles. She slowly raised her head and looked around. Everyone could see her tears running from her eyes all the way down her face. Shortly after, she covered her face with her paws again.
"Look at it." Gatomon said while still crying. "It's ruined. It's all ruined. I just can't believe this happened."
Kari slowly approached her depressed partner.
"I am so sorry, Gatomon." She said softly.
"I feel the same way, sweetie." Patamon said. "I'm just as shocked as you are."
"And it's all Megatron's fault." Wormmon said as he looked back to the battle.
Everyone looked back now. Nothing had changed. Ratchet and Starscream were trading blows with one another. Ironhide and Blackout were shooting at each other at close range. And Optimus and Megatron were locked in their own little sword fight. Then Megatron made an unexpected move. Optimus tried to slice at Megatron, but this time, Megatron rocketed over Optimus and landed behind him. Megatron then took his blade and drove it through Optimus' lower back. When Optimus screamed, everyone on his side looked at him in fear whether they were in the battle or not. The ones that were fighting, which would be Ironhide and Ratchet, made a mistake when they did this. Ratchet got a good serving of punches from Starscream when he diverted his attention to his creaming leader. Ironhide was also punched and kicked hard. Blackout then picked her up and threw her back towards the beach. She hit the ground and sand flew up as she rolled. As she rolled, her parts began to disappear and become her suit again for she had lost the strength to hold her robot mode. She skidded right in front of the digidestined and digimon.
"Ironhide!" Sora shouted as she ran to her side.
Optimus saw Ironhide land form where he was and then felt scared for her. He managed to get free of Megatron's blade and push him away.
"Ratchet, disengage and go to Ironhide and make sure she's okay!" Optimus ordered.
"What about you?!" Ratchet cried.
"I'll manage! GO! That is an order!" Optimus shouted.
Ratchet didn't like it, but he had to. Ratchet punched Starscream one last time, and then transformed back into his human and ran away from the battle and over to Ironhide.
Everyone followed Sora to make sure Ironhide was okay. Ironhide managed to get on her knees, but struggled to get any further.
"Are you alright?" Matt asked.
Ironhide looked at him.
"If you're going to worry about someone right now, worry about Prime." Ironhide said as Ratchet finally got to her.
As Ratchet began to do his thing, Takamon began watching in interest.
"This is who these guys fight?! They're freakin insane!" he thought.
Optimus was not doing to well. He managed to throw Starscream into Blackout, but soon after he was punched hard in the face by Megatron. Blackout then brought out his giant propeller buzz saw weapon and managed to grind a bit of Optimus' chest armor. Starscream then got in a shot with his machine gun. Then to finish off the round of hits, Megatron cocked his right arm and gave Optimus the full power of his fusion cannon right to the lower stomach. Optimus flew into a nearby building and made a huge dent. He then fell out and reverted back to his human mode. Megatron then began to approach the weakened Optimus and readied his cannon for another shot.
"OPTIMUS! NO!" Ironhide yelled.
"We've got to do something to save him!" Biyomon cried. "Should we digivolve?"
"It would take to long!" Mimi said.
"She's right! By the time you all digivolved, it would be too late!" Joe said.
"So what are we supposed to do? Just standby and watch as he's fried by Megatron?" Patamon asked.
Takamon knew what he had to do right there. He had a serious look on his face as he took the flower magnet off of his chest armor and placed it back in Patamon's hands.
"No one is getting fried today." He said.
Takamon then dashed forward away from the crowd and closer to the Decepticons.
"Takamon get back here!" Ironhide cried.
"You don't stand a chance!" Hawkmon shouted.
Takamon wasn't listening. He just kept on running closer to Megatron's backside. He reached behind his back and brought out the orb that turned into his metal staff. The orb became his staff/pick and he got ready to use it. He turned it over so the cone shaped spear part was at the top. The spear began to glow a white color as Takamon now looked like someone in the Olympics ready to throw a javelin.
Meanwhile, Megatron, Starscream, and Blackout all stood in front of Optimus as he tried to get back on his feet. Megatron laughed and pointed his cannon.
"You call yourself Optimus Prime? Ha! You may have his looks and weapons, but as for his skill, you certainly lack it." Megatron said.
Optimus lifted his head up and glared at Megatron as he prepared to fire.
"I have been waiting centuries for this. Good bye, Prime." Megatron said as the barrel of his cannon charged up.
"CHROME SPEAR!!"
A white glowing pointed object flew and hit Megatron hard in the back of his head before he could fire. Optimus finally got enough strength to get up and run. Megatron was not happy with what just happened.
"WHO DID THAT?!" he screamed.
"TAKA BLAST!!"
A huge burst of golden energy came form above and hit Megatron in the chest. Two more came down and hit Starscream and Blackout. Megatron looked and saw Takamon drop and land on his feet right next to Optimus. He was holding his staff and ready to fight.
"Takamon, what are you doing?" Optimus said.
"I just saved your life, Prime." Takamon said.
"And I thank you. Now go and run." Optimus said.
"And leave you alone with these guys? Not happening. I'm staying right here." Takamon said.
Optimus couldn't argue. He just got the snot kicked out of him by all three of them. He needed what ever help he could get. He took out his dual energon swords.
"Okay. But I hope you know what you're getting yourself into." Optimus warned.
Takamon just smirked.
"I knew what I was getting myself into when I ran in to save you." He said as he positioned himself for battle. "Now come on. Let's kick it up."
Optimus, even though he was worn, took a position and got ready to fight again. Megatron looked at the two and just laughed.
"You are what stand in my way of conquering this world? This has to be a joke of some kind." Megatron said.
"We'll give you something to laugh about!" Takamon shouted as he and Optimus charged forward.
Takamon jumped up and gave Starscream and Blackout another dose of Taka Blast. Optimus jumped too but he went clear over Megatron's head. He retracted his right blade and took out his ion blaster. He turned around in midair and shot a few rounds at Megatron. They hit the Decepticon and he shouted in pain. But he soon shrugged it off and turned to his minions.
"Starscream, take down those other two AutoKnights while they're down and out!" Megatron ordered.
"Yes my lord." Starscream said.
Starscream then rocketed into the sky and towards the beach, much to Optimus' horror.
"IRONHIDE, RATCHET, HEADS UP!!" he screamed.
Ratchet just finished working on Ironhide when they saw Starscream fly towards them. They shot right up to their feet and turned to the digidestined.
"You guys get the hell out of here!" Ironhide said.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Izzy asked.
Ironhide didn't answer him. Instead she brought out her cannons again and got ready. But she didn't fire them.
"CANNON COMBINER MODE!" She shouted.
Her cannons then began to separate from their own parts and then looked like a bunch of spinning gears an inch apart from each other. She then put her arms together and the two cannons came together like a zipper getting zipped. They then detached from Ironhide's arms and launched into the air. On each side on the bottom of the giant cannon, a handlebar popped out. The cannon came down and Ironhide grabbed the handlebars and rested the cannon on her bent knee.
"Holy shit Ironhide." Ratchet said as he watched.
Ironhide smirked and aimed her giant cannon at the oncoming Starscream. The cannon barrel began to twist as the inside started to glow light blue. Then on the right handlebar, she pulled a trigger. A huge blast was fired from the cannon and blew Ironhide back a few yards. The giant blast hit Starscream head on and he immediately fell to the ground. Ironhide then smirked again and looked at Izzy.
"Yes Izzy. I'm fine." She said.
Izzy just mouthed the words, "holy shit" in amazement at her power. As did everyone else.
"How the hell did you do that?" Ratchet asked.
"I told you before I was trying to upgrade my cannons. Well I did upgrade them I gave them a combiner mode to make them twice as strong when they become one." Ironhide said.
"Well, it obviously was proven that they are strong." Ratchet said.
"AAAAHHHH!!!" Came an angry voice.
Starscream launched himself up and flew right at the group on the beach. When he was close enough, he swatted Ironhide and Ratchet like flies. They skidded across the sand and didn't move. Starscream then looked at the digidestined.
"I should just kill all of you for some sense of satisfaction!" he shouted as he raised his arm.
"RUN!!" Davis yelled.
Everyone got up and all of them narrowly avoided Starscream's fist as it came down. Everyone lost their balance and fell to the ground. Starscream first saw Sora and declared her as his first victim. Everyone else got together and they noticed Sora was gone. Sora turned around and trembled in fear as she saw Starscream get closer. Starscream got ready to finish her off and everyone else all saw scared.
"SORA NO!" Biyomon yelled.
"AUTOKNIGHT, TRANSFORM!!" Tai yelled.
That's when everyone looked at Tai and they were all completely shocked at what was now happening. There was an AutoKnight Ring on Tai's finger and it was slowly melting. It soon covered his body and became his suit.
"JETFIRE!!"
Everyone except Ironhide and Ratchet watched in total disbelief as Jetfire made his boosters come out and lock on his back. They soon powered up and Jetfire took off. He was flying a foot above ground at full speed towards his girlfriend.
"Say good-bye fleshling." Starscream said as he pointed his machine gun at her.
Sora closed her eyes and waited for it to come. Right as Starscream fired, Jetfire came in at full speed and grabbed Sora while he was still flying. He carried her off bridal style as he pulled up and turned around. Sora opened her eyes and smiled at what she saw.
"Jetfire." She said.
Jetfire looked at her and smiled.
"I could get used to this hero thing." Jetfire said.
Sora kissed his cheek and he landed right in front of his group of friends. They were still staring at him in shock. But they soon diverted their eyes to Starscream when he turned around. Starscream saw Jetfire and stepped back once in fear.
"You." He muttered.
Jetfire prepared a missile on the top of each of his two arms.
"Yeah. Me." Jetfire said.
He fired both missiles and they hit Starscream dead on.
"Nice shot, Jetfire." Ironhide said.
"Let's attack him all at once." Jetfire said.
Ratchet brought out his electromagnets.
"Sounds good to me." He said.
Ironhide and Ratchet ran forward to Starscream while Jetfire flew. Ironhide jumped and rolled as she dodged Ratchets swinging fist. She fired her cannons one by one and they obviously hit. Jetfire flew over Starscream and hovered right in front of his face. On the sides of his wrists, a small gun looking mod appeared. It had a thinner barrel then most weapons. Jetfire lashed his arms out and instead of bullets being fired, fire came out. Jetfire just torched Starscream's face with his flamethrowers. Starscream screamed as he stumbled backwards covering his face. Ratchet than got in a shot with his magnets. A huge blast of pink magnetic energy hit the Decepticon in his chest and pushed him back onto the street with Megatron and Blackout.
"We should probably get our asses over there and help Prime." Ratchet said.
"Yeah, let's go." Ironhide said.
"Right." Jetifre started.
"Wait!"
Jetifre looked back. Not only were his friends looking at him with shock, but with worry too.
"Jetfire!" Ironhide called.
"Go! I'll be right there!" Jetfire said.
Ratchet and Ironhide nodded and ran over to the battle scene. Jetfire went over to the group.
"I'm sorry guys but I have to go." Jetfire said.
"No way! I can't let you go into a battle like that! I might never see you again!" Kari cried.
"I know it's scary, Kari. But this is my fight now too. And my leader needs my help." Jetfire said.
Kari threw her arms around her brother.
"I don't want to lose you!" she cried.
Jetfire could feel his sister crying into his chest. He gently pulled tilted her head up and wiped her eyes.
"Kari, I'm just as afraid as you are right now. But Optimus and the others need my help. An whether you guys like it or not, I'm going."
Everyone hung their heads down. Kari just hugged her brother again.
"Just come back, okay?" she said.
"Don't worry." Jetfire said.
Jetfire detached from Kari and turned around.
"Hey." Davis called.
Jetfire spun around. "What, Davis?"
Davis took off his goggles and tossed them to Jetfire. Jetfire caught them and looked at Davis.
"Since you can fly, I guess you need them more than I do." Davis said.
Jetfire smiled. "Thanks Davis."
Jetfire put the goggles on his head and then they started to shine with white light. They then made a weird sound. (The original transforming sound form Generation 1) The white color in the border of the goggles changed into a dark flat black color. Jetfire then lowered the goggles over his eyes. Through his vision, Jetfire saw little gauges and crosshairs with the goggles.
"Targeting system. Not bad." Jetfire said.
"Good luck, Jetfire." Sora said.
Jetfire nodded and turned around. His boosters powered up and he took off.
"That's my partner." Agumon said.
"That's my boyfriend." Sora said.
"That's my brother." Kari said.
Meanwhile, Optimus and Takamon were busy trying to fight Megatron and Blackout. They were now on the defensive and were finding it more and more difficult to dodge their attacks. That's when help arrived. Jetfire flew in from above carrying Ironhide and Ratchet by their arms. Jetfire let go and the two fell towards Megatron. They both kicked him in the face as they fell and then sprung off in their own directions. Ironhide went to Blackout, and Ratchet went to Starscream. They forced the cons to the ground and they all landed right next to Optimus. Optimus was looking at Jetfire.
"About time you showed up." Optimus said.
"Sorry. I got a little delayed. Let's do this." Jetfire said.
"Now it's really kick it up time." Takamon said.
"Kick it up time?" Ironhide asked.
"Hey. Kick it up is my saying." Takamon said.
"Whatever." Ratchet said as he pumped his machine gun.
The four AutoKnights and their digimon ally all got ready to fight. The Decepticons all got up and looked down to what they saw.
"So there are four of you now." Megatron said. He then remembered Takamon. "Oh, I'm sorry. Four and a half."
Takamon snarled and growled at being called "half".
"I'll cut your giant metal ass down to size." Takamon said.
"We shall see." Megatron said. "But first, let's even the odds. Blackout!"
The propellers that hung from Blackout's back began to separate. Then a giant hunk of metal popped out of his back. It was a giant Decepticon scorpion with plasma cannons in its pincers and razor blades in its tail.
"Okay. I didn't see that one coming." Optimus said.
"AutoKnights, meet Scorponok." Megatron said.
"I hate scorpions." Jetfire said.
"Good. Cause you and Takamon are taking that one." Optimus said
"Sweet." Jetfire said.
"Everyone else, take who you had before." Optimus said.
"Right." Ironhide and Ratchet said.
Right then, everyone ran towards their designated target. Takamon and Jetfire were firing on Scorponok. Optimus took on Megatron again, while Ironhide and Ratchet did the same with Starscream and Blackout. The Decepticons were finding this difficult because the AutoKnights were too small and jumped around too much. Megatron got angry and just started firing his fusion cannon everywhere. The five good guys immediately stopped and ran away to rethink their strategy. They hid behind a building and stayed as quiet as possible so the Decepticons wouldn't hear them.
"What's the plan, Prime?" Ironhide asked.
"Why am I getting asked that same question all the time?" Optimus said quietly. "Okay I do have a plan and it goes like this."
Optimus told the plan to his teammates and they all agreed.
"Alright then, let's go." He said.
They all ran out of hiding and back to the fight. Megatron saw them all running towards them, but it was only Optimus, Ironhide and Ratchet running towards him.
"Where is the other one?" Megatron asked himself. "No matter."
On Megatron's left arm, a small cannon popped out. He fired it and a large cable with two weights at each end spun around as it flew. The cable twisted itself around the three and they couldn't move. They were trapped.
"Well, that was easy." Megatron said. "Now where is your little flyboy?"
"I'm right here." Jetfire said.
The Decepticons all turned around and saw Jetfire just standing there with no weapons drawn. Megatron didn't care.
"I will enjoy killing you first, traitor." Megatron said.
"First off, I can't be a traitor because I was never on your side." Jetfire said.
Jetfire then powered up his boosters again and rose up.
"Second, if you want to kill me, you'll have to catch me first."
After those words were said, Jetfire turned around and started to transform. All over his back, mechanical parts and black panels erupted and shifted into place. His arms began to do the same, only they became long and narrow halves of the nose and cockpit. The front of his body did the exact same as his back while his legs also became concealed in machinery. After a few more seconds, Jetfire successfully transformed from human to vehicle mode for the first time. His body was somewhere inside the interior of his SR-71 mode. On the nose of the plane right below the cockpit, were the numbers 004. On the tail wings, were white AutoKnight insignias. On the top of the plane were the letters "JTFR". Jetfire then rocketed away into the sky as he barrel rolled.
"Decepticons, after him!" Megatron ordered.
"What about the other three?" Blackout asked.
Megatron looked at the three tied up AutoKnights and looked back at Blackout.
"Leave them. The flyer is first. It's not like they can do anything now." Megatron said.
Blackout got Scorponok and the three Decepticons all transformed back into their flying vehicle modes. They took off after Jetfire.
Meanwhile back on the beach, everyone else was watching the entire fight. They were mostly looking at Jetfire because of obvious reasons.
"KIDS!"
They all looked over and saw their parents running towards them. Their parents then embraced them.
"Are you all alright?" Matt's dad asked.
"Yeah, Dad. We're all fine." Matt said.
"Wait. Where's Tai?" Mrs. Kamiya asked.
Just then an SR-71 Blackbird flew over their heads being chased by three enemy planes.
"There he is." Sora said.
All the parents looked at her.
"Sora, what are you saying?" her mom asked.
"Tai's an AutoKnight and that black plane is what he transforms into." Sora said.
"When did this happen?!" Mrs. Kamiya shrieked.
"It happened a few days ago during the last battle we had." Optimus said.
Everyone looked over and saw Optimus, Ironhide, Ratchet, and Takamon walking over.
"How did you guys get out of that cable?" Joe asked.
"I used my staff to cut the cord." Takamon said as he held out his staff.
"Yes. Anyways like I was saying, a few days ago, two of the Decepticons you saw earlier came to Earth to kill the three of us here." Optimus said. "We were about done for until Tai got his power and save our lives."
"My baby…an AutoKnight?" Mrs. Kamiya said.
"Don't worry, Mom." Kari said trying to comfort her mother. "I'm sure he's fine."
"I'm just glad the plan worked." Takamon said.
"Plan?" Agumon said. "What plan?"
"Well we had to get them away from the city somehow. And since we figured Megatron would probably want to kill Jetfire first, we use him as a lure to get them to chase him." Optimus said.
"Why would they want to kill Jetfire first?" TK asked
"Because the ORIGINAL Jetfire was once a Decepticon." Ironhide said.
"What?" Gatomon asked.
"It doesn't matter now." Optimus said. "We have to get to Jetfire and help him out. That's where TK and Kari come into our plan."
"Us?" TK said. "What do you need us for?"
"We need you to give us a lift to Jetfire so we can help him. Make your digimon digivolve so we can fly." Ratchet said.
"There is no way I'm sending my daughter into your fight!" Mrs. Kamiya said.
"Same goes for TK!" Ms. Takaishi said.
"Optimus!"
Jetfire's voice was heard like it came from a radio. Optimus slid up the cover of his wrist com and talked.
"Jetfire! Are you alright!" Optimus said.
"I'm fine, but where the hell are you guys?! I thought you were going to get Pegasusmon and Nefertimon to fly you to me!" Jetfire said.
"I'm working on it, Jetfire! Just hold on!" Optimus said.
"I'm trying to but I don't much longer I can go! It's getting harder to outmaneuver their shots!" Jetfire said.
That's when Mrs. Kamiya grabbed Optimus' arm and held his wrist in front of her face.
"Tai!"
"Mom? What are you doing?" Jetfire asked.
"Tai, are you hurt? Did they shoot you?" she asked frantically.
"Not yet. But if you don't let Kari and TK give Optimus and the others a ride, I might get shot down!" Jetfire said.
Mrs. Kamiya knew she had no choice now. So did Ms. Takaishi.
"You two be careful." She said.
Kari and TK nodded as they took out their digivices and D-Terminals.
"Digi-Armor Energize!"
"Patamon, armor digivolve to…Pegasusmon! Flying Hope!"
"Gatomon, armor digivolve to…Nefertimon! The Angel of Light!"
TK and Kari mounted their partners as Optimus pulled up his wrist to his face.
"We're on our way, Jetfire. Here's what I want you to do. Find the nearest offshore island you can, land, and run. We'll be there shortly." Optimus said.
"Understood, Prime. Just hurry!" Jetfire said.
On his end, Jetfire was still in his SR-71 mode and still on the run from Megatron, Starscream, and Blackout. Jetfire found a small island below him and began to descend.
On Optimus' end, he slid down the cover for his wrist com, and mounted Pegasusmon behind TK. Ratchet got on with him. Ironhide got an Nefertimon and held on to Kari.
"Let's fly." TK said.
Before Nefertimon lifted off the ground, Takamon jumped on and grabbed onto Ironhide.
"Takamon, are sure you know what you're doing?" Optimus said.
"Don't you think for a second that I'm not going too. I can inflict damage on them and they know it. Plus, I wanna show Megatron not to call me "half"." Takamon said.
"Alright. Let's go." Optimus said.
Pegasusmon and Nefertimon took off and headed for the battle.
(Offshore Island; Approximately 2 miles from Odaiba; 12:30 pm)
On a lonely island, someone got out of his car and walked over to where he had to go for work. He works in the watch tower on the beach of that island. He climbed up the ladder into the tower and saw his partner there waiting for him.
"Hey Crystal." He said.
"Hi, Iggy." Crystal greeted back.
"Anything out of the ordinary today?" Iggy asked.
"Not yet. Just a few large wave and that's about…wait a minute. HOLY SHIT!!!"
Iggy looked at what Crystal screamed at and saw an SR-71 come in at low altitude and zoom over the tower. Three more planes followed.
"What the hell was that?!" Iggy shouted.
"I don't know. Let's find out." Crystal said.
Crystal and Iggy ran into the forest after the planes.
Meanwhile, Jetfire was flying over the trees of the forest for a time trying to find a clearing. He found one and transformed back into his human mode, making the Decepticons zoom past him. Jetfire lowered himself to the ground and ran into the forest. The Decepticons transformed to their robot modes and landed hard on the ground.
"It's going to be hard tracking the boy in here, master." Starscream said.
"Find him and bring him to me!" Megatron ordered.
Starscream and Blackout went off in their own directions and went off to find Jetfire. Megatron also went his own way.
"I will find you boy." Megatron growled.
Meanwhile, Pegasusmon and Nefertimon had just reached the island. They were flying over it about 500 feet in the air.
"Are you sure this is where he is?" Optimus asked his medic.
"I'm picking up five Cybertronian energy signatures. One of them has to be Jetfire." Ratchet said.
"Alright then. Let's drop." Optimus said.
"Wait. Drop?!" Ironhide asked.
"You want us to free fall onto the island?" Ratchet said.
"Yep." Optimus said.
"And how do you plan to survive that fall?" Kari asked.
"If we transform into our robot modes in mid-fall, we can land this thing without fail." Optimus said.
"Well, alright. What about him?" Ironhide asked while pointing at Takamon.
"You're going to hold onto him Ironhide." Optimus said.
"Don't you crush me." Takamon said.
"Alright. Let's go Knights." Optimus said.
"Hey!" Nefertimon called.
"What?" Ratchet asked
"Give those creeps a shot in the head for me." Nefertimon said.
"One for me too." Pegasusmon said.
Optimus smirked as he made his battle mask come back.
"You got it." He said.
The three knights and Takamon all jumped off and began to fall like shy divers towards the island. The three then maneuvered themselves so they were a ways apart from each other.
"OPTIMUS PRIME, ROBOT MODE!!"
"IRONHIDE, ROBOT MODE!!"
"RATCHET, ROBOT MODE!!"
They all went into their robot modes and Ironhide gently grabbed Takamon and pulled him in close. They all hit the ground and landed on their feet. Ironhide put Takamon down and looked around.
"Should we look for Jetfire?" she asked.
"No. Jetfire can take care of himself. Let's stick together and find Megatron." Optimus said.
The four then disembarked on their search while TK and Kari were still in the air on their digimon.
"What should we do now? Should we head back?" TK asked.
Kari looked down on the island.
"Not until I get a clear view of my brother still breathing." Kari said.
Nefertimon descended a bit towards the island and Pegasusmon followed.
Optimus, Ironhide, Ratchet and Takamon were still on the search until they saw Megatron from a distance. He couldn't see them yet.
"What should we do?" Ratchet asked.
"I say we ambush him and take him out now." Takamon said.
"That's not a bad idea." Optimus said.
Optimus then picked up Takamon.
"What are you doing?" Takamon asked.
"Takamon, have you ever heard of a game called baseball?" Optimus asked.
"I saw a little bit of it on TV last night." Takamon said.
"Good. Cause I'm about to pitch you at Megatron." Optimus said.
Takamon smirked a bit.
"Make it a strike." He said.
Optimus threw Takamon as hard and as straight as he could at Megatron. Takamon flew by the trees and then Megatron saw him coming. But it was too late to do anything.
"TAKA BLAST!!"
Megatron was hit by a wave of golden energy and stepped back. Then Ironhide and Ratchet charged from the woods. Ironhide fired her cannons as Ratchet fired his machine gun. Megatron shielded himself as best he could. Then Optimus came and unsheathed his right sword. He slashed at Megatron and then brought his elbow into his face. Megatron fell on his back and Optimus took out his twin ion blasters.
"DECEPTICONS!" Megatron called.
Blackout and Starscream flew in from above in their vehicle modes and transformed. Scorponok erupted from the ground and tackled Ratchet. Optimus and Ironhide were tackled by Blackout and Starscream. Takamon was doing his best to avoid getting hit. Megatron stood back up and aimed his cannon.
"Your time is up." Megatron said to Optimus.
"INCOMING!"
Everyone Cybertronian or not looked up and saw Jetfire fly straight down towards them. He then began to transform. The neck and cockpit area began to bend and a mechanical face appeared at the end. The whole back area of the plane began to change. The engines became knees and legs and feet appeared above and below the knees. There were long metal whiskers coming out of his face. His eyes were glowing red instead of blue. In his hand was a huge battle axe. He fell straight at Megatron.
"Suck on this!" Jetfire said in a robotic voice.
When he was in range, Jetfire swung his axe and slashed the left side of Megatron's chest. Megatron once again went to the ground. Jetfire then fired missiles at Starscream and Blackout. They hit and they were forced off of Ironhide and Optimus. Jetfire then went to Ratchet and grabbed Scorponok's metal tail. He threw the scorpion like robot into the forest and the sound of trees crashing was heard. Jetfire helped his friends stand up.
"Nice robot mode." Ratchet said.
"Thank you." Jetfire said.
"You will never leave this island alive!" Starscream shouted as he charged.
The other Decepticons got up and charged as well.
"Takamon, get out of here." Optimus said.
"But Optimus…"
"You have done enough to help us. Get to safety." Optimus said.
Takamon sighed and put away his staff.
"Good luck, you guys." He said.
Takamon ran off into the forest. But he stopped and hid behind a tree so he could get a clear view. Jetfire took on Starscream, Ironhide had Scorponok, Ratchet took Blackout, and as always, Optimus fought Megatron. They were just trading blows with each other until finally, Megatron reached the tip of his anger.
"I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!"
Megatron then grabbed Optimus' neck with his left hand and threw him into the nearby Ratchet. He then gave Ironhide a shot with his fusion cannon. As she was screaming, Starscream picked her up and threw her on top of Optimus and Ratchet. Then, Megatron went over to Jetfire and back handed him in the face. Jetfire was punched in the chest again and then Megatron shot at him again. He was hit and he flew into the pile of AutoKnights. Takamon wanted to run in and do something, he knew he was no match for all four of them. Megatron then cocked his fusion cannon again and cackled a bit as he stood in front of the AutoKnights, who reverted back to their human modes.
"I did plan to kill you all one at a time, but it will be more satisfying to kill you all at once." Megatron said.
"EQUUS BEAM!!"
"CAT"S EYE BEAM!!"
Two beams of green and pink energy came down and hit Megatron in the back he looked up and saw Pegasusmon and Nefertimon flying around him.
"Stay away from my brother!" Kari shouted.
"You annoying little pests! I'll take care of you first!"
Megatron flew up and grabbed Pegasusmon. Pegasusmon shouted in pain as Megatron squeezed harder. So did TK.
"Pegasusmon!" Nefertimon cried.
"TK!" Kari shouted.
Optimus got up.
"Let him go, Megatron!" he yelled.
Megatron looked at him and smirked.
"As you wish, Prime."
Megatron threw Pegasusmon as hard as he could away from them. Soon, the sound branches snapping and a loud THUD was heard.
"Ratchet, find them!" Optimus shouted.
"Ratchet nodded and ran off in the direction TK and Pegasusmon were thrown. Kari and Nefertimon followed him. Takamon ran the same direction. Megatron landed and faced his opponents who were weakened.
"You're going to pay for that, Megajerk." Jetfire said.
"I highly doubt that." Megatron said.
The fight started up again.
Iggy and Crystal (remember them?) were walking through the forest trying to find whatever flew over their heads back there in that tower. They then saw something. There was a boy in a tuxedo on the ground with his eyes closed. His clothes were ripped everywhere and there were cuts and bruises all over his body. Near him was an orange and white guinea-pig looking thing with bat like wings coming out of its head. It was also injured. Before the two could check on them, Ratchet came running through the trees. Takamon was behind him. Nefertimon and Kari landed near them.
"Whoa. Weird looking guys." Iggy said.
"Isn't one of them an AutoKnight?" Crystal wondered.
"Yes, I'm an AutoKnight. And if you two value your lives, you'll get the hell out of here!" Ratchet shouted.
"Why?" Iggy asked.
An explosion was heard from the forest.
"That's why!" Ratchet said.
Iggy and Crystal ran off. Nefertimon de-digivolved and went over to Patamon.
"Patamon, speak to me." She said.
Patamon mumbled and turned over.
"I'm alright. I think." Patamon said.
Gatomon kissed her fiancé and carried him over to where Ratchet was.
"Ratchet, where's TK?" Patamon asked.
Ratchet looked around and spotted TK lying motionless.
"Oh crap." He said.
Everyone there ran over to TK. Ratchet reached behind his back and pulled out a small pad attached to a cord that went onto his suit. He placed the pad on TK's chest and the red line on his suit went completely flat. Ratchet went wide eyed and hung his head down and shut his eyes.
"Ratchet, what's going on?!" Kari asked scared.
Ratchet looked at her regretfully. He then turned a knob on the pad and a sound was heard. It was a long,
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
Kari recognized the sound. It was a flat line. That sound only was heard when someone had no pulse. Ratchet pulled away the pad and the red line on his suit went back to it normal zig-zag patter. Kari, Patamon, Gatomon, and Takamon all looked at Ratchet scared.
"Is he…?" Kari asked as tears began to sting her eyes.
Ratchet got p and looked at her with a sad look. He then placed his hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Kari. He's gone." He said quietly.
As soon as those words were heard by Kari, she immediately broke down and squeezed TK's dead body. Patamon began to cry hard into Gatomon's chest as she began to cry too. Ratchet stood back with Takamon as the two hung their heads down.
"TK! PLEASE COME BACK! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE!!" Kari screamed.
Ratchet let a few tears of his own fall as he looked back at the scene.
"TK…please…I love you. And I need you. Please come back to me! I love you!"
Kari hugged her stiff boyfriend and cried harder than she ever did before into his beat less chest. But something different happened.
(Some unknown place; some unknown time)
"Where…where am I?" TK said.
His voice echoed.
"Oh god. Am I dead?" he said.
TK then heard loud footsteps getting closer.
"I have been watching you. For a long long time." A robotic voice said.
A large figure emerged form behind a rock formation. It was dark so you couldn't really see much. TK stepped back a little freaked.
"Do not fear young one. I mean you no harm." The voice said again.
Blue glowing eyes then lit up and the giant figure. TK had an idea of what it was.
"Are you…an Autobot?" he asked.
"Yes." The Autobot answered. "I am one of the thirteen soldiers that gave their life force to turn my power into what you humans call, rings. A power, that beyond your wildest dreams. A power that I am giving to you."
TK went wide eyed.
"Me?" he said.
"You have fought for the side of Optimus Prime. With courage, hope, and virtues of a true warrior. A warrior, worthy of my power." The Autobot said.
Another Autobot small than the first walked out.
"Your female friend shall receive her own power as well." The second one said in a female like voice.
Then, he sound of Kari crying was heard. It broke TK's heart to hear that.
"Kari." He muttered.
"She too has shown what it take to posses a strong power. The two of you have earned it." The first one said.
TK was shocked at what was about to happen to him.
"Return now to your world." The first Autobot said. "Assist Optimus in the fight for peace. It is and always has been, your destiny."
The two Autobots began to shine with white light and TK was blinded.
(Back where TK's body is)
Kari was still crying into TK's chest when his eyes shot open. TK then took in a loud breath of air as everyone who heard it just went into a state of shock. TK came back. Kari was absolutely dumbfounded and put her hands on his cheeks.
"I love you." TK said quietly.
Kari then kissed TK harder than ever as a light began to shine.
Everyone looked and saw two marble shaped objects glowing and floating towards TK and Kari. When they stopped, one of them began to shine brighter. When it was done, TK's wounds were all gone. But his clothes were still ripped.
"No freakin way." Ratchet said.
TK and Kari each grabbed one of the floating objects. They opened their hands and saw that they had rings like the AutoKnights did.
"Does this mean…" Kari started.
"I think it does." TK said.
The tow stood up and were luck enough to see two cars that belonged to Iggy and Crystal. TK and Kari smirked at each other and put on the rings. Their eyes started to glow as they stared at the cars.
TK was looking at a 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. It was yellow with two black racing stripes running down it.
Kari scanned a pink 2007 For Mustang GT. Like TK's Camaro, it had black racing stripes.
The two finished scanning and they looked at their rings. TK's stone was yellow with two black parallel stripes. Kari's was shining pink with two parallel stripes too. The two then looked at Ratchet who was completely shocked.
"Did we do that right?" Kari asked.
Ratchet then smiled.
"Yeah you did that right. But can you guys do step two?" he asked.
TK and Kari looked at each other and smirked.
"Oh yeah." TK said.
The couple then raised their hands to the air and shouted out the words.
"AUTOKNIGHT, TRANSFORM!!"
Their rings glowed and then began to melt. Gatomon and Patamon watched in a shocked way as their partners transformed. Then, they had suits on. TK's was yellow all over the front. On the back of his robe, were tow black stripes that went down it. Kari's was pretty much the same only it was pink instead of yellow. In between the stripes on both of them, was the AutoKnight insignia.
"BUMBLEBEE!!" TK called out.
"ARCEE!!" Kari shouted.
Takamon found this all very interesting. TK and Kari just transformed into AutoKnights by the names of Bumblebee and Arcee.
"Holy crap." Takamon said.
"Now what, Ratchet?" Bumblebee asked.
"Scan your systems and see what weapons you have." Ratchet said.
Bumblebee and Arcee closed their eyes and began to look into what weapons they had. They stopped when they were finished.
"Well we're finished." Arcee said.
"Then let's go. We have a battle to win." Ratchet said.
Everyone then ran back into the woods to help out their friends.
Optimus, Ironhide, and Jetfire were not doing so well. They were being tossed around every time they got back up. Megatron was enjoying every bit of it.
"As much as I have enjoyed toying with you," Megatron said as he cocked his fusion cannon. "Its time to end this."
A hailstorm of machine gun bullets hit Megatron in his arm. Then, orange and blue blasts came from out of the trees and hit Starscream and Blackout. They all stumbled backwards as Scorponok dug his way underground. Optimus, Jetfire, and Ironhide looked back and saw Ratchet.
"Ratchet. You saved us." Ironhide said.
Ratchet chuckled a bit.
"Actually, WE did." He said as he stepped out of the way.
That's when the other three knights saw it. There were tow more AutoKnights. One yellow and one pink. The yellow one had a plasma cannon on his right hand. The pink one had a smaller double barreled gun on her left hand. The three were just as surprised as Ratchet was earlier.
"TK? Kari?" Optimus said.
"Call me, Bumblebee."
"And I'm Arcee."
Optimus was smiling under his face plate as he approached his two new knights.
"Thank you." Optimus said.
"No problem, Prime." Bumblebee said.
Optimus then turned back to Megatron. He, Ratchet, Bumblebee, and Arcee ran to the sides of Ironhide and Jetfire. There were now six AutoKnights against three Decepticons. (Scorponok left) Starscream was the first to notice the addition.
"Master there are now six of those twerps." Starscream said.
Megatron looked and saw.
"I don't care. Attack them!" Megatron said.
Bumble bee and Arcee took on Starscream. Ratchet and Ironhide had Blackout. Jetfire and Optimus were taking on Megatron.
Bumblebee kept firing his plasma cannon and making little explosions inside Starscream's parts. Arcee put away her gun and held out her right arm. From the top of it, came a blue jagged blade the glowed with energon. She ran at Starscream.
"I'm not much of a fighter, but no one…kills…my boyfriend!" she shouted. She slashed the blade and when she did, the blue blade automatically extended and grew thicker. It cut off Starscream's left arm.
"You little pest! I'll get you for that!" Starscream shouted.
"Don't think so." Bumblebee said.
Out of his shoulders came two round missile pods. He fired all of them at Starscream and they hit him and he fell to the ground. Bumblebee high fived Arcee.
Blackout was swiping away at Ironhide and Ratchet and he missed every time. Ratchet was getting fed up.
"This has gone on way too damn long!" he said.
Out of Ratchets left arm, came a mode that looked like a hot rod's engine. It was his EMP. He charged it up and fired at Blackout. Two thin golden beams hit Blackout and he slowly powered down as he fell. Ratchet then pointed over at Starscream.
"Bumblebee, Arcee, get out of the way!" he called.
The two looked back and smirked as they jumped out of the way. Ratchet then fired his EMP again and hit Starscream.
"Not agaaaaaaiiiiiiiin." Starscream said as he powered down.
The four knights all went over to Jetfire and Optimus as they all ganged up an Megatron.
"You're outnumbered, Megatron." Optimus said as he brought out his ion blaster.
Everyone else soon pointed their guns at Megatron.
"Starscream was right. Every time a new one of them is born they become stronger. I have no choice." Megatron thought.
He jumped over the six AutoKnights and grabbed his minions. He grabbed Starscream's arm too. He then flew up towards the sky.
"You got lucky this time, Prime! But next time, you will meet your doom!" Megatron shouted as he took off for the atmosphere.
The AutoKnights all put their weapons away and looked at the two new ones. Optimus extended his hand.
"Welcome, Bumblebee and Arcee." He said as his face plate lowered and retracted.
Bumblebee shook his hand first and then Arcee did.
"Still think I need you to protect me?" Arcee asked Jetfire.
Jetfire shook his head.
"As long as Bee here is protecting you, I'm sure you'll be fine." Jetfire said.
Bumblebee felt happy.
"Thanks Jetfire." He said.
Patamon flew in and landed on his partners head. Gatomon jumped on Arcee's back and Takamon just walked up.
"That ought to show them not to fuck with my wedding!" Gatomon said.
"Damn straight." Patamon said.
"You guys were amazing." Takamon said.
"We have that effect." Ironhide said.
"We should get back to the mainland. I'm sure everyone's worried about us." Optimus said.
"How do we get back?" Ratchet asked.
"Leave that to me." Jetfire said as he walked backwards.
He then jumped up and transformed into his SR-71 mode. He was hovering like a harrier jet in front of them. The windshield of the cockpit opened and the knights and digimon all jumped in and took a seat. When they were safely secured, Jetfire flew off towards the mainland.
Trevor: Holy crap.
Takamon: That was one hell of a comeback.
Tai: Now I feel guilty about how we beat up AK.
Me: You should!
Violet: AK! You don't look so good.
Me: That's because all of you attempted to kick my ass at the same time!
Kari: Sorry about that.
TK: Thanks AK.
Me: No problem. The thirteenth chapter will be here as soon as I heal up. Until then, peace bitches.
