Shortstop was returning to Autobot City after he escorted Sarah home. He was about 3000 astroseconds away when he was attacked again. Galvatron and Megatron hovered in the air about 15 feet above him. He transformed into robot mode. He fired his arm lasers at them. Soundwave came from his right and Shockwave came from his left. Thundercracker and Skywarp stood behind him. Soundwave ejected Rumble and Frenzy. The two of them transformed their arms into pile drivers. They began to shake the ground. The other six Decepticons opened fire on the Autobot. The ground began to split open underneath of Shortstop. Shortstop fell to his knees. He was low on energy. He fell into the ground. The Decepticons made sure he didn't get out.

"Mix Master, fill the hole with the strongest cement." Galvatron ordered.

The green Constructicon backed up to the hole in the ground, while in cement truck form and filled the hole. He buried the Autobot alive. The hole was about nine feet deep.

"Our job here is done. My plan worked perfectly. We have finished off the mighty Shortstop. Now let's proceed with phase two of our plan." Megatron said.

They took to the air and headed towards Athens to finish their plan.

Wheeljack walked into the control room with a worried look on his expressionless face.

"Prime, I can't raise Shortstop on the comm link. He was supposed to be back here after he escorted Sarah home."

Prime pressed a few controls on the console.

"Optimus Prime calling Shortstop. Come in, Shortstop."

There was no response. Now Prime was worried. Just then Megatron's face appeared on the view screen. Wheeljack and Optimus Prime were surprised to see him.

"Ah, Optimus Prime. I trust that you have been trying to call Shortstop by now."

"Get to the point, Megatron." Prime demanded.

"The point is Prime; you can't reach Shortstop because he is no longer functioning. And if you don't believe me take a look at this."

The screen switched to the position where Shortstop's body lies. There was different color concrete used to fill the hole. Prime knew that Megatron wasn't lying but he didn't want to believe that Shortstop was beaten.

"I know you believe me but you don't want to admit it. Face it Prime, you've lost Shortstop and you're going to lose the war."

The screen went blank. Then the alarm went off. The screen popped on again showing multiple Decepticons terrorizing Athens. Prime turned to Wheeljack.

"Wheeljack, gather the Autobots. We're going against the Decepticons."

Wheeljack ran out of the room to gather the troops for battle.

The Decepticons ripped through the city. They shot at people, vaporizing them. They ripped buildings from their foundations. Sarah stood on her porch watching in horror. People were being ripped from their homes and were being killed and for what? For a senseless war that should not even have come to Earth. A tear started to swell in her eye. Then she saw a convoy of headlights heading towards the battle. It was the Autobots. She looked for her boyfriend but it was hard to tell if he was there or not because it was dark. She assumed that he was there.

The Autobots engaged the Decepticons. Optimus Prime transformed and took on Megatron. Ironhide took on Galvatron. They didn't have Shortstop so this battle was going to be fierce. Prime punched Megatron but Megatron just kicked Prime's legs out from underneath of him and held him at gun point. Galvatron easily over took Ironhide. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe shot at Nos, Pounce and Wingspan. Wingspan picked up Sunstreaker and launched him into the air. Sideswipe attempted to attack but Nos tackled him. Jazz was tackled from behind by Thundercracker and Wheeljack and was hit from behind by Skywarp. The Technobots merged together to form Computron and the Terrorcons formed Abominus. Abominus took out Computron with ease. The Decepticons surrounded the Autobots. But the Autobots still aimed their weapons at their enemies.

"Autobots, if you value your leader's life then you will throw down your weapons."

"Don't do it, Autobots." Prime ordered.

The Autobots didn't listen to Prime. They threw down their weapons. Sarah observed from her porch. Just then she was picked up from behind by a bird. The bird was the Decepticon spy Laserbeak. Laserbeak brought her to the battle and dropped her with the Autobots. Even though she was against the war, her boyfriend was a part of it and she will stand by his side. The only problem was that she didn't know where he was. She looked to the nearest Autobot, which was Trailbreaker, and she asked him where he was.

"Trailbreaker, do you know where Dustin is?"

Trailbreaker was a little reluctant to tell her but he did.

"Shortstop was attacked on his way back to Autobot City. He was buried in nine feet of solid concrete."

Sarah began to cry. Galvatron shot a look at Sarah.

"Will someone take car of that insolent flesh creature?"

Soundwave ejected Rumble and Frenzy. The two twins grabbed Sarah and pulled her towards Soundwave. The Decepticon tape deck aimed his weapon at the human girl.

Meanwhile at Shortstop's burial site, something stirred. Shortstop's eyes started to glow. The more danger Sarah was in, the brighter his eyes got.

"Sarah!" Dustin shouted.

Just then with all of his strength, he shot out of the hole. He transformed and headed towards the battle.

Soundwave pointed his weapon at Sarah. Just then he lowered his weapon and looked off to the side. Galvatron got impatient and demanded to know what his communications officer was doing.

"Soundwave, what are you doing? Terminate her."

"UNIDENTIFIED CREATURE APPROACHES FROM THE EAST."

Everybody looked in that direction. Even the Autobots were curious who or what was approaching them. They could not see anything at first, and then they saw a figure in the darkness with two glowing eyes. The eyes were blue. The figure came closer. The closer it came, the figure became clearer. It was Shortstop. The Decepticons and Autobots were stunned, including Sarah. Shortstop jumped into the air and shot at the Decepticons with his arm lasers. He drop kicked Megatron and back handed Galvatron. He fired more shots at the other Decepticons.

"Decepticons retreat." ordered Megatron.

They jumped into the air and headed back to their headquarters. Shortstop transformed into his vehicle mode and the head transformed back into exosuit mode. The Autobots cheered. Dustin ran up to Sarah and clutched her in his arms. He whispered in her ear.

"I'll never leave you. Never."
