The Cybertronian Chipmunks

Heroes Fall

That night; it was a dark and the moon and all the stars were shining on the city of LA, but all was not well despite the evening's appearance. At Jett Records Leonard was standing on the roof where a helicopter landed; there was no pilot and the helicopter had the Decepticon symbol on the side. Leonard was standing next to the helicopter landing gear with a happy and evil smile on his face. He turned with pleasure to see one of his human coworkers approaching him holding a cage.

In the cage Alvin, Brittany, Theodore, and Eleanor had sad faces as they stared into space; they were sad because Leonard and the Decepticons were using their siblings to defeat the Autobots. They also felt sad because they felt like the end was near and because the Autobots were in trouble and they felt like there was nothing they could do. They were all against the back wall of the cage (facing away from Leonard); Alvin was lying on his side staring at the ground with his head tilted against the bars near the right (your right) corner and his arms just hung on the floor of the cage. Brittany was sitting on the opposite side of the cage with her back against the wall at the corner; her arms dangled at her sides as she stared up at the ceiling of the cage with a sad face. Theodore was sitting in front of Brittany; he leaned his chest against the wall of the cage as he sadly stared down at the ground with his right hand holding onto one of the bars that stretch from top to bottom and his left arm hanging over the bottom bar that went across the wall horizontally. Eleanor was sitting between Theodore and Alvin; her back was against the wall Theodore had his arms on and she stared up with a sad expression with her arms dangling at her sides like Brittany. The man put their cage on a small stack of books on the left (helicopter's left) seat, so they could see out the window.

Leonard climbed in and sat in the seat next to them and when the door closed he said, "You know it's funny; you kids and your siblings brought the end of the world, and yet if you were never born this would have never happened."

He sat down with a mean smile as he said that just to make them feel like they should have never been born. Alvin slightly turned his head and looked at Leonard angrily, but then he moved back into his previous position with the same sad face.

The next day at Ten P.M.

Sam, Leo, Ben, Carly, Simon, and Jeanette walked into the Autobots' hanger; Ian was leaning against the wall and during the night he changed from the suit (he looked like how he did at the end of the third movie). Leo was wearing blue genes, a grey shirt, and a green jacket (like in the second movie). Carly was wearing a white skirt, a red shirt, and a blue jacket. Sam was wearing a brown jacket with blue genes and a blue and white button down shirt. Ben was wearing a black T-shirt with a picture of a monster truck on it along with blue genes and his white Tennis shoes.

Mudflap and Skids were standing near him and Skids said, "Yo Mudflap, why we still have this shrimp taco?!"

Mudflap had his arms up as he turned his eyes at Ian and said, "I don't know but I know that if this punk starts any trouble we gonna bust a cap in his face."

Ian looked at them angrily and said, "Hey I don't want to be here; the only reason I haven't left yet is because I don't want to take the chance of dying!"

Mudflap pointed at Ian and said, "That's 'cause you pussy!"

He and Skids laughed and they punched their knuckles as Ian walked away while saying, "Very funny, let's all pick on Ian."

As he said this he passed the others and Ben said, "Like this is the first people have made fun of how you're a loser."

As the others continued Ian turned to Ben with an angry face and said, "You are pushing me way too far! You should watch that mouth of yours, or I'll make you regret it!"

Ben stood in front of Ian with an angry face and said, "Ha! I'd wipe the floor with you! And doing that could only improve your looks."

As they continued to argue Sam and the others walked into another room, where they saw the Secretary of Defense, standing near a computer with Glen and Maggie sitting in front of it.

The Secretary of Defense said to Glen, "Are you having any luck?"

Glen answered, "Yo I'm trying to do it; this isn't easy!"

Sam was the first to take a step forward as he said, "Hey!"

They turned to them and Glen and Maggie knew Sam so they walked to him and the Secretary of Defense followed.

Glen high-fived Sam while saying, "Great to see you again man!"

Sam smiled and said, "Nice to see you too."

The Secretary of Defense stood behind Glen and Maggie and said, "I see you've brought your friends, and the chipmunks."

Simon and Jeanette were surprised and they looked up at Sam and Simon asked, "You know them too?"

Sam said, "You'd be surprised how many people you meet when this kind of stuff happens to you."

Leo looked at Maggie and said, "You single?"

Maggie showed no emotion as she said, "Don't bother."

Glen looked at Simon and Jeanette and kneeled down with an excited smile and he said, "For the record I'm a big fan of you guys!"

Jeanette said, "Thank you."

Glen stood straight and Simon and Jeanette felt the Decepticons biting them in the back of their heads and they knew what they wanted.

Simon then asked, "So, what are you doing here?"

They sat back down and the Secretary of Defense answered, "They are here because they have examined the virus and now we are working on destroying it so that we can get our network back online. Once our network is online we will be able to coordinate our next attack on the enemy and we'll be able to call in backup and air support."

Up close one could see the Decepticons attached to Simon and Jeanette's (surrounded by fur) heads had needles in their skin and small transmitters came out of their shoulders and they told Parasite what they just heard.

Ben, Ian, and Mearing walked into the room and they all stopped and saw a monitor show a news reporter in Washington saying, "Earlier today the President passed the act ordering the Autobots to stand down. The act also ordered that, as a precaution, the Autobots will be sent to a government facility where they will remain indefinitely."

Everyone's eyes widened as Simon and Jeanette climbed onto a machine to get a better view and Sam said, "What?!"

Ben was devastated and said, "No!"

Leo was shocked and said, "They can't do this!"

Carly was shocked and said, "They can't lock them up!"

Simon and Jeanette were shocked and Simon said, "No! They can't do that!"

Mearing was on her cell phone when Sam said, "You have to stop this, you have to tell them that they can't do this!"

She hung up her cell phone and said, "It's out of my hands. It's a go people."

But Sam said, "You can't do this they're our friends, they've helped us!"

Mearing then said, "And now all it's done is put our planet in danger!"

Ben was freaking out and he put his hands on the Secretary of Defense's suit while saying, "Sir!..."

He stopped and took his hands off and said, "Sorry."

The Secretary of Defense said, "It's alright."

Ben then said, "Please tell me you can stop this!"

The Secretary of Defense showed no pleasure as he said, "I'm sorry, but the President has made his decision. I must admit that it pains me to see this happen."

Glen and Maggie had worried expressions and Glen said, "The Autobots can be locked up, they're our only shot of surviving! I've seen that news report on what happened in Chicago, if they can't help us who knows what will happen!"

The Secretary of Defense turned away and started to walk while saying, "Well, let's just pray that we're doing the right thing."

As they began to walk out Ian said, "If it means we all get to live who cares! It's good for everyone."

Ben gave Ian an angry look and said, "What does a rat like you know about what's good for other people!"

They walked into the hanger to see the Autobots in their vehicle forms starting to drive out. Ben saw a man pick up a cage that Brains, Wheelie, Text, and Tune were in. They looked at him like they needed help; Brains and Wheelie were had their hands on the bars facing them and Tune did the same thing in front of Wheelie's right foot. Text was at the same height of Brains and Wheelie's heads; he was holding onto the bars with his hands and feet while his tail was wiggling.

Ben looked at them with shock and ran toward the guy holding them while yelling, "Get your paws off my friends!"

But two guards came and grabbed Ben's arms to restrain him. They started carrying him to the cars to bring him to the facility along with the others.

He then yelled, "Let go of me! I'll sue!"

Mearing was walking next to him when she said, "You can sue the government."

Ben stopped struggling and stared into space angrily while saying, "Crap!"

Later they were all driving away from Washington to the facility where the Autobots would be locked away and Mearing was in a car with Sam, Ben, Simon, and Jeanette when she said, "Now would be a great time for any of you to tell if you know anything about the enemy's intentions."

Simon and Jeanette wanted to tell her about how Leonard was working with the Decepticons and captured Alvin, Brittany, Theodore, and Eleanor; but they knew that if they did the Decepticons would hear them and their siblings would be killed.

Simon honestly said, "I wish we could be more helpful."

Later in the day

It was now six o-clock P.M. and they were outside the government facility; they stopped at a fence that had a gate. Civilians were allowed no further as there was still a road to the building, which was one hundred feet away. The building was large and shaped like a box with a few windows; it had large metal doors that were big enough for the Autobots to walk through. The cars pulled up at the gate and everyone climbed out while the Autobots transformed into their robot forms.

Sam suddenly caught sight of Epps standing and he said, "Epps! Nice to see you!"

Epps smiled and high-fived Sam and said, "Nice to see you too."

Simon and Jeanette were surprised and Jeanette asked, "Is there anyone here you don't know?"

Epps looked down and saw Simon and Jeanette standing next to Sam's feet and he said, "Hey Simon, Jeanette."

They waved and said, "Hello."

Ben, Leo, Carly, and Ian climbed out and Simmons and Dutch walked by.

As they spoke some of the Autobots passed them; Epps said, "We're not gonna have the Autobots to help us! Can you guys believe this?!"

Ben walked by and said, "You kidding?! I can't even imagine what it'll be like without them!"

Ian was walking behind them smiling when he said, "Relax, it's not the end of the world."

Epps turned around and pointed at him while saying, "Not yet!"

Ironhide passed them and Simon walked next to him (at a safe distance) and said, "Ironhide."

Ironhide looked down at Simon, who said, "I just want to say, thank you, to all of you, for helping us and our families."

Ironhide smiled as walked and said, "Don't mention it."

Mudflap and Skids passed by and Skids looked at Simon and Jeanette and said, "Yo shorties don't let those bad robots push you around!"

They all stopped when they were near the gate and they saw Optimus in front of the other Autobots (who were closer to the building). Sam began to walk to him to talk; Simon and Jeanette stayed, but then they closed their eyes in pain as they put their hands over the back of their heads where the Decepticons were. They knew they wanted them to get the information from Optimus, so they walked forward with sad expressions.

(At this point play or imagine the background music from the third Transformers when the Autobots leave.)

They stood next to Sam in front of Optimus when Sam said, "Hey Optimus…"

Optimus then looked down at them and said, "You are right to lose faith in us; this was my fault. I sought to defeat the Decepticons, but I only helped them in their plan."

Simon and Jeanette felt sympathy and Jeanette said, "That doesn't mean it's your fault."

Simon nodded and said, "Yeah, this is the Decepticons' fault. You may have made a few mistakes, but we all do."

Optimus had his usual solid face, but one could see a little bit of sadness in his expression.

He then said, "Remember this, you may not have us to fight for you but you may always fight for yourselves."

He looked away slightly and Simon and Jeanette felt the Decepticons I their heads and knew what they wanted.

Simon then said, "Please Optimus, I have to know, what is your plan to stop the Decepticons?!"

Jeanette said, "It would make us feel better to know."

Sam agreed; he didn't know about Alvin, Brittany, Theodore, and Eleanor but he knew the Decepticons captured Mikayla.

And so Sam said, "I need to know too Optitmus. I know you've got some kind of plan. You've got reinforcements coming? You're gonna escape? You can tell us and I promise that the Decepticons will never know."

Simon and Jeanette wished they could say the same thing, but they felt they couldn't lie to Optimus.

Optimus looked down at them and said, "I have no plan. We will remain here."

As they continued Ben began walking to join them; when Optimus finished his statement Jeanette and Simon's eyes widened in disbelief and worry.

Simon asked, "But if you can't help us then how will we stop the Decepticons?!"

Sam agreed and said, "And if we can't stop them how are we gonna live with having to do what they want?!"

Optimus kneeled down slightly and looked at Sam and said, "Sam, you are my friend and you always will be my friend."

He then looked at Simon and Jeanette and said, "Simon, Jeanette, you and your siblings have become good friends of mine; and you always will be."

As he continued he looked at all of them and said, "But I'm afraid your leaders have spoken. From here on out, you must continue this battle without us."

Optimus began to walk away while Sam, Ben, Simon, and Jeanette had devastated expressions. Simon and Jeanette just met the Autobots recently, but after what they did for them they felt as though they had been friends for years.

Optimus walked past Bumblebee with Mudflap and Skids standing behind him and Brains, Wheelie, Text, and Tune standing next to his foot.

Optimus knew they wanted to say something and he said, "Be quick."

Mudflap and Skids patted Bumblebee on the back and Skids said, "Go ahead dog."

Mudflap nodded and said, "Yeah, bust a move."

Bumblebee walked toward Sam and the others with Brains, Wheelie, Text, and Tune walking next to him. Bumblebee kneeled down to Sam while Brains, Wheelie, Text, and Tune went to Ben, who kneeled down to them.

Bumblebee used the radio to play some recordings, "Well, I guess this is goodbye. Won't be the same without you. You are also my friend. I have been and always shall be yours. The times with you have been some of the best of my life."

He stood straight and Sam started to become upset; Jeanette suddenly called, "Bumblebee."

Bumblebee turned around and made the mechanical sound he makes; then she said, "Thanks for everything."

Bumblebee played a recording saying, "You may be small but you got big hearts."

He continued to walk away while Ben talked to his smaller Autobot friends.

Text said, "Well, this is it."

Ben sadly said, "I was right that nothing lasts forever."

Tune was sad but smiled as he said, "But since the end of something doesn't last forever, we'll see each other again."

Ben was still sad and said, "Yeah, in like a thousand years! I'd feel better if you didn't have to do this."

Wheelie was sad and said, "Trust me, so do we."

They heard Mole calling them as he said, "Time to get in the building."

Brains said, "Well, thanks for everything."

They started to walk away and when they were eight feet away Ben said, "Goodbye guys."

Wheelie turned around and said, "Bye Ben."

The Autobots joined together and approached the building.

Everyone else gathered around Sam, Ben, Simon, and Jeanette with sad expressions and Simmons said, "The greatest consequence of war is losing your friends."

Ian showed no sadness as he said, "Big deal, so they're stuck here forever."

Small tears ran down Ben's cheeks as his expression of sadness turned to anger and he pointed his finger up while saying, "Shut up before I kick your ass and give you a black eye!"

Ian showed anger but said nothing else. What they didn't know was that three Decepticon helicopters were flying in their direction in triangle formation. The front helicopter had Leonard, Alvin, Brittany, Theodore, and Eleanor in it. The back left (your left) had John and Mikayla in it. The back right one had Monty, two humans, Condor, and two talking squirrels in suits riding in it. Leonard pulled a cell phone off his seat and held it in both hands as he began to dial a number. Sam watched the Autobots begin to walk into the building when suddenly his phone rang.

Sam answered it and said, "Hello?"

He looked down at Simon and Jeanette and said, "It's for you guys."

He leaned down and gave it to Simon; Simon held it in his hands as he and Jeanette moved their heads closer to the phone.

Simon said, "Hello?"

Leonad had a smile on his face as he said, "Hello Simon. Hello Jeanette."

Their eyes widened and they noticed that the others had directed their attention to the Autobots entering the building.

Simon and Jeanette quietly walked away to the side of the gate so no one would hear them and Simon sarcastically said, "I hope you're happy!"

Leonard replied, "Oh I'm happy alright."

Jeanette said, "Now give Alvin, Brittany, Theodore, and Eleanor back to us!"

Leonard grinned evilly as he said, "I don't think I will."

Simon and Jeanette gasped and Simon angrily said, "But you swore…"

Leonard interrupted and said, "I gave you my word that your brothers and sisters would be safe. I did not say I would give them back."

Simon angrily said, "But we did what you want!"

Leonard said, "I guy like me always gets what he wants. We just needed to be sure."

Simon and Jeanette looked at each other with confusion and Jeanette asked, "Sure about what?"

Leonard frowned in an evil way as he said, "That the Autobots would actually do it."

He hung up and Alvin, Brittany, Theodore, and Eleanor's expressions had not changed from the moment they got on the helicopter. The helicopters were now slowly passing the location when Alvin turned his eyes and saw Optimus walking into the building.

His eyes widened and he stood up and said, "The Autobots?"

Brittany, Theodore, and Eleanor heard him and they all gathered in the front left corner of the cage. They were close to the window and Theodore and Eleanor were standing in front of Alvin and Brittany. Mikayla looked out the window of her chopper and so did the animals and humans in the other one. But Monty did not look; he only stared ahead with an emotionless expression.

Theodore asked, "Why are we here?"

Leonard climbed onto the cage and stood above them with an evil smile as he said, "The Mighty wanted you to have a front row seat."

When he said "you" he was referring to Alvin, Brittany, Theodore, Eleanor, and Mikayla.

Alvin looked up and asked, "A front row seat to what?"

Leonard answered, "To the show that would shock the whole world."

Starscream was hovering in the air miles away but he was able to see the doors to the building close with the Autobots inside. He transformed into his jet form and flew over Washington, where he deployed Mayhem from a slot in the bottom of his jet form. Mayhem landed unscathed and began to run through alleys while Starscream flew toward the building. Sam and the others turned when they heard the sound of Starscream's engines. Alvin, Brittany, Theodore, Eleanor, and Mikayla looked out their windows and saw Starscream fly toward the building and launch missiles at it. Everyone's eyes widened in shock as they saw the building blow up. When the smoke disappeared they could see the bodies of the large Autobots partially covered in ruble. Starscream transformed into his robot form and hovered above; his hands transformed into his rocket launchers and he fired missiles at the Autobots' bodies. There was nothing but smoke, but as it began to disappear they saw that nothing was there except for rubble and colored pieces of metal from each of the Autobots. Alvin, Brittany, Theodore, Eleanor, and Mikayla looked at the destruction with total devastation; Sam and the others who saw the explosion had the same facial expressions. Simon and Jeanette stared at the building with their eyes and mouths wide open and Simon was so shocked that he dropped Sam's cell phone (since Simon was so small the fall barely scratched the phone). Leonard smiled evilly at the sight; Ian showed a small bit of sympathy; Epps and Lennox had blank expressions but one could tell they were sad. Glen, Maggie, and the Secretary of Defense had their mouths open and their eyes slightly squinted in sadness. Leo and Carly had their mouths wide open while Dutch and Simmons had their eyes wide open. Ben was so devastated that he held his arm out with his hand open as if they would come out. Suddenly Simon and Jeanette felt the pain in the back of their heads and they saw the small insect Decepticons starting to fly away. Simon was so devastated that he felt rage toward the Decepticons and Leonard for everything they had done; so he grabbed them and crushed them angrily. Jeanette was surprised to see Simon act that way but she completely agreed.

Alvin, Brittany, Theodore, and Eleanor sat down and stared into space as they couldn't believe what just happened; then Leonard climbed off the cage and said, "Now, we all serve the Decepticons."

Starscream led the helicopters as they flew toward New York City.

Author's note: What will happen next?! Will Simon and Jeanette save their families?! Will Sam save Mikayla?! And will they defeat the Decepticons without the Autobots?!
