Chapter 14

"Blitzwing?" Starscream said as he was still looking around him. Suddenly something bunked into him and he fell on the ground. As he turned around he saw Blitzwing laying next to him. He noticed that his arm and wing were stabbed more than one time by a knife, or something else.

"What happened?" he asked. Blitzwing struggled to straighten himself up. "Something grabbed me and stabbed me a few times in the arm and my wing. But I don't know what it was." he explained. Starscream stood up and again looked around. Blitzwing was finally standing on his feet. Both of them were already covered by energon.

"Perhaps we should retreat." Blitzwing suggested. Starscream looked at him.

"And a few minutes ago you wanted to stay." Starscream said and walked around to find anything. Blitzwing also looked and walked around. Suddenly he saw something on the wall.

"Uhm, Starscream, have you seen this?" he said to Starscream as he pointed at something on the wall.

"What?" Starscream said annoyed as he came to him.

"That!" Starscream looked at that at which Blitzwing was pointing.

"What in the?" Starscream managed to say when he saw what was on the wall. There was something written on the wall with energon. The two 'Cons couldn't believe their eyes.

"Your doom is near Autobots. You will be betrayed by the ones you trusted for so long and then I will find you…and kill you." Blitzwing didn't read the rest what was on the wall. Starscream took a closer look at it.

"All Decepticons on this planet will be terminated, beginning with you, Megatron. You will witness the true meaning of evil…and cruelty. Finally I will have my revenge." Starscream hardly could read what was written on the wall there. Blitzwing looked around.

"There's some more over here!" he said and pointed at more words written on the wall.

"I will hunt down every single one of you and this planet shall be nothing more than an abandoned field of fire and ash." Blitzwing read. Starscream came closer to the wall and discovered something written in small letters.

"If I not find everyone, this planet, and all it's inhabitants, shall burn in their own blood and mistakes." Starscream read. Both of them were looking at the wall and the words on it.

"Starscream….you know what this means."

"Yes…..I do….."

"We'll all be killed by a psycho bot!"

"Unless we could stop him!"

"Uhm, Starscream, there are ten 'Bots laying here on the ground and along with some more human military machines. If they couldn't stop him, how should we stop him when we are only six?"

"Oh come on! Don't say something like that! I mean, look at those Autobots; they were clearly weaker than we are." Starscream said. Before anyone could say something they heard some footsteps from behind and a terrifying noise. Starscream looked through the smoke of the fire and saw two red eyes coming to them.

"Look…there….." was the only thing he could say as he pointed at the eyes who were coming closer. Blitzwing looked in the direction. The eyes were coming closer. Starscream and Blitzwing knew that they couldn't stop him, at least not when they were only two.

"Let's go, before that psycho kills us!" Blitzwing yelled. Starscream was still standing there and looking at the eyes. Finally Blitzwing grabbed him.

"We have to leave!" he dragged Starscream with him. But before they could get away a huge hand grabbed Blitzwing by his leg, forcing him to fall down and let go of Starscream.

"Let go!" he shouted angry and shot at the strange creature. Starscream stood up and made a run for it.

"WAIT FOR ME, YOU COWARD!" Blitzwing shouted angry.

"Don't worry…." a terrifying and deep voice said. Before Blitzwing could do anything, the creature pulled him up by his leg and threw him on Starscream. Both of them fell to the ground. The red eyes disappeared again but they still heard the terrifying noises. Blitzwing stood up.

"Let's go before he comes again!" he said. Starscream struggled to stand up, the knife was still stuck in his arm. As he was standing they transformed and flew away. Blitzwing had some difficulties with flying because of his stabbed wing.

"We have to go and investigate at once!" Optimus said to the others. The Autobots have discovered this trance activity signal in the little town as well.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Bumblebee said as he transformed. The others transformed as well. Sari, Amy and Dave wanted to step in but Optimus held them back.

"You stay here! We don't know what it is, it's too dangerous." he said.

"Oh man! But I want to know what that thing is!" Dave said upset.

"I can understand that, but it's too dangerous."

"I can see your point Optimus." Amy said.

"But Amy." Dave interrupted.

"Just listen to him! I don't wanna go there anymore."

"Don't worry we'll be back in no time." Bumblebee said before the Autobots drove away.

"Look at that, Optimus!" Bumblebee said as they were approaching the destroyed town, from which the signal came.

"And you really think we should go in there?" Bulkhead said as they were standing in front of the town.

"It's the only way to find out what that signal is." Optimus said before he transformed and started walking.

"I agree with you, Prime!" Jazz said as he transformed and followed him. Soon the others transformed as well and followed the two.

"Man, this place got totally screwed." Bumblebee said as he looked around him.

"I wonder what could have caused this chaos." Prowl wondered.

"Me too." Bulkhead agreed.

"Look over there!" Bumblebee said as he saw something through the buildings laying on the ground. The Autobots hurried to get to it. As they were standing in front of it they couldn't believe their eyes.

"Sweet Primus! What the slag happened here?" Bumblebee asked astonished as he saw the lifeless bodies of the Autobots, which were covered by energon. Optimus bend down to the one, which was laying in front of them in a pit of energon.

"They're Autobots." he told the others.

"I think this was supposed to be our backup, right?" Jazz asked Optimus.

"I think you're right, Jazz."

"Who could have done this?" Bumblebee wondered as he looked around him.

"Who ever it was…He has come to kill us all." Ratchet said as he was standing in front of the wall, on which the words were standing. The others came to them.

"What does that mean, 'You'll be betrayed by the ones you trusted for so long'?" Bumblebee asked as he read the words.

"I don't know. But what ever he has planed, we have to stop him! We cannot let this happen!" Optimus said as he read everything.

"How should we stop him? We can't even stop one of the other Decepticons on our own!" Bumblebee said.

"You forgot one very important thing, we work as a team." Prowl told him.

"That might be, but look around you….There are ten Autobots laying here on the ground together with humans war machines and these Autobots weren't as different as we are, so how should we stop him, when we're only six?" Bulkhead interrupted.

"We have no other chance, Bulkhead. We have to stop him, we can't allow him to destroy the entire planet!" Optimus told his crew.

"You're right Optimus! We have to at least give it a try!" Jazz agreed.
