Well this came sooner than I thought it would. Well it just a new chapter. The only reason why this is up early is because I am sick! Hope you enjoy.
Starscream made no hesitation to aim one of his thermal shock blasters at the opposing Decepticons. He had no reason to hold back anymore. He didn't care becoming leader of the Decepticons anymore. So in essence, he had no reason to keep any of the Decepticons alive. And again he got over his aggression with Megatron so he didn't have to try and destroy him again and in the end get killed...again.
He fired at the group of Decepticons who just dodged and returned fire. Bumblebee got a hold of Sari as he started to run back to the ship. Starscream shortly ran after then still firing at the group of Decepticons who were firing back. He tried holding his ground but it didn't take long for them to over power Starscream and he had no choice but to run back to the ship. The best he could do now was cover Bumblebee and Sari back to the ship.
"Cowards," Megatron said with a low tone then said "Don't let them come out alive!" Megatron ordered firing his fusion cannon at them with the help of Blitzwing's duel flamethrower cannons and Lugnut's missile brigade.
"Don't let zem inside ze ship!" the 'hothead' Bltizwing yelled. Just after his call he blown back and hit the ground from Starscream's return fire. His personality changed to random and said "Now zat was out of ze ordinary!"
As the three of them made it back to the ship, Lugnut flew down in front of the escaping Autobots preventing them from entering their ship. "You will not escape from the glorious Megatron!"
"Oh yeah!" Bumblebee said. Immediately, while holding Sari close, transformed one of his hands into a stinger and fired at the opposing Decepticon's single optic.
Lugnut held onto his optic while smoke was coming from it growled "You'll pay for that pitiful Autobot!" Just as he finished his statement, Starscream turned his attention away from Megatron and the recovering Blitzwing to see Lugnut blocking their way. As Lugnut released his optic, Starscream aimed his other thermal shock blaster at the large Decepticon and fired at his optic but this time blowing it out! The shock of the blast made him back away from the entrance.
But as this was going on Megatron saw that his former second-in-command was no longer paying attention to him. This gave the Decepticon leader a few seconds to actually aim. He raised his fusion cannon and got perfect aim and fired. Starscream looked back to see Megatron fire the cannon at him. He took a step back in fear.
Just then pink energy came and blocked the Decepticon leader's shot. Starscream turned to the entrance of the ship to see Bumblebee running inside and Ratchet providing the shield that protected him with one of his electromagnets.
"Come on kid get inside! I can't keep this up forever!" Ratchet said still holding the shield up.
The jet didn't argue as he ran inside this ship with Ratchet following after and the shutter door closing behind him. The two bots ran back to the control room to meet up with all of the other Autobots. Optimus and Bulkhead were working with the controls as Ratchet went to another set of controls of the ship. Starscream, Sari and Bumblebee were just in the entrance of the control room.
"Autobots, prepare to lift off while we can." Optimus said trying to get the controls working.
"We're just going to leave!" Bumblebee practically yelled.
"What choice do we have?" Optimus responded.
As they the Autobots did their best to get the ship airborne they could hear and feel the rumbles of the Decepticons attacking the ship from outside. Fortunately, the ship's armor was much stronger than the Decepticons standard blasters. However, it did cause too much disturbance to lift off or at least lift off without crashing.
"Urr! We're having too much interference to get this thing off the ground!" Ratchet yelled.
"Well, what are we supposed to do?!" Bulkhead yelled.
Starscream held on to the entrance of the control room and thought. Eventually the Decepticons would break through and it would be miracle if they won that battle. He was wondering why they weren't using the ship's defenses but he didn't bother asking to use that. They needed them to back off and they were not going to do that. So someone was going to have to force them off. And if they didn't... his friend would pay the price. The jet made up his mind right then and there as he ran toward hallway to the entrance and found the upper escape hatch.
"Hey, where do you think your going?!" Bumblebee demanded following him in the hallway with Sari right beside him.
Starscream ignored him as he fired up his jet thrusters and flew out of the Autobot Ship. He then transformed and fired at Megatron who was still in the air and firing at them. The twin laser fire as enough to Megatron off his balance but was still able to stay airborne.
"Time to truly pay the price of betraying me Starscream." Megatron said transforming and targeting or at least trying to target the ex-Decepticon.
As Megatron was following him, Blitzwing noticed this and also focused on the Decepticon traitor. Lugnut on the other hand was blind and was punching anything but the Autobot ship. Starscream was both faster and more agile than either of the Decepticons so he had the upper hand, he was able to easily dodge their attacks. However, both Megatron and Blitzwing's firepower were well beyond his.
When the attacks on the ship were stopped, the ship was finally able to get off the ground. All the Autobots were sure they could get out till Optimus noticed something. Prowl wasn't with them.
"We forgot Prowl!" Optimus yelled getting from his sit from the controls.
"We forgot ninja bot! We got to get him!" Bumblebee yelled running to the entrance of the ship.
"Kid, wait it's too dangerous!" Ratchet argued keeping his place at the controls.
"We can't leave him we have to go back!" Sari argued back following Bumblebee.
Bumblebee made it to the entrance door and opened it planning on jumping out to get his friend.
As if almost on cue, a black and gold motorcycle was flying through the woods and saw the hovering ship ready to take off. He then sped up to gain the speed he needed. Lugnut was almost positioned perfectly for his jump. Speeding up and using the now blind Decepticon's back as a ramp he was able to launch himself up to get enough altitude to and made into the opening entrance of the ship and in the process knocking the yellow bot on his back and making Sari jump back in surprise.
Bumblebee chuckled weakly and said "Good timing...now get off!"
Prowl then transformed back to robot mode and said "Sorry about that." He then went to the side controls and closed the entrance shutter and said "Now let's get going. Starscream isn't going to be able to hold them off forever."
The three of them ran back to the control room and Optimus noticed this immediately started his way to get the ship out off the planet or at least out of this area. Optimus, Bulkhead and Ratchet just hurried to get out and fast. When they got to a certain height Sari realized that they were leaving without Starscream.
"Wait, what about Starscream!" Sari yelled as she ran to Optimus' side.
The Autobots could see what was happening outside with the computer system. The monitors showed Starscream maneuvering around the two Decepticons but he wasn't able to shake them off without getting hurt in the process.
"How we supposed to help him out?" Bulkhead asked.
Ratchet thought for a moment and then got back to the controls and armed the few functioning defense guns on the ship. He armed them for manual control so they wouldn't hurt Starscream.
"I got a few ideas."
Back in the air Starscream did all he could to make sure Megatron and Blitzwing were focusing on him and not the ship. Eventually however, Megatron and Blitzwing would catch on. Fortunately for the Autobots, Megatron wanted Starscream gone more than the Autobots at this point.
Just as Starscream was able to see the Autobots were finally up in the air and ready to go he sped back to the Autobot ship. Hoping that he could get in there and they could escape without Megatron delaying them.
And is if it was planned all along the ship started to fire the small cannons at the two Decepticons allowing Starscream to make it to the top of the ship like he exited it before. The small cannon fire was enough for both Blitzwing and Megatron to back off and keep their distance. But just as Starscream transformed about to enter the ship, Megatron was finally able to lay a hit on him directly on his back! The hit on his forced him into the ship damaging his back severely.
Starscream was slammed into the ship's hallway as Prowl, Bumblebee and Sari came to his aid. Bulkhead, Ratchet and Optimus had to stay to control the ship and get out. They were finally able to leave the area and zoomed out of the forest area and out of the Decepticons sight.
Yeah... I don't like how this chapter came out. To me this was kind of sloppy. I don't know why. Whatever, I also hate how I ended it but... I don't see any other way in ending this chapter... whatever, it is what it is.
