So here is the final chapter of the story. Enjoy and Review please.
A few hours after Sentinel's death
Despite his damaged state, Barricade managed to maintain balance as he drove down the streets of Chicago. Bonecrusher was dead; he'd seen the Con being killed by the blue brat. Frenzy was dead, along with the Constructicons and Soundwave; Blackout, Brawl and Shockwave were nowhere to be found. Megatron's energy signal went offline a few minutes ago and that gave Barricade enough proof that it was time to go.
As he made a turn he was shocked to see Long Haul, Grindor, Sideways, Bonecrusher and Starscream. Happy to find other Decepticons, Barricade drove up to them and transformed. "Finally, I was beginning to worry I was the only one that survived."
"You're telling me, I just barely made it out of there before that giant bot pulled the trigger." Long Haul said as he rubbed his wrist while taking a look at Sideways. "Hmmm damaged circuit between the chest and shoulder" He mumbled. Beside him, Bonecrusher was desperately trying to reattach what cables he could in his neck.
"There are still many Decepticons alive on this planet, and I will reorganize our forces to our new base of operations and the seed of our future empire…under my command of course."
Barricade hated to admit it but Starscream was right. The Seeker had a way of getting things organized almost as good as Megatron. Whenever the big boss wasn't around Starscream would show how good a leader he was even if he was a cowardly fighter and a sneaky backstabber too. And Barricade knew that he would have to stick with him in order to survive.
"So what do we do first, Lord Starscream?" Barricade asked.
Liking the sound of that, Starscream smiled as he explained their next move. "We must locate a suitable base that can fit our army. Barricade escort Long Haul, Bonecrusher and Sideways to these coordinates, the area should serve as a good base. Grindor, you shall accompany me to locate any more Decepticons on the planet. Also Long Haul when you arrive there, set up a communication disk so we can contact any other Decepticons among the stars."
Deep within the river of Chicago, Megatron's body began to float down into the depths. Fishes would swim either pass or away as the massive figure landed on the ground, creating a small uprising of sand to come up from the ground due to the impact of the land. Once Megatron's head struck the ground, a flicker of life in his optics happened quickly followed by the occasional twitching of his hands. After that he was dead still.
Suddenly another figure dove into the water, bigger then the Decepticon leader and moving. As he got closer to Megatron, it was revealed that it was none other then Blackout. Megatron's loyal hound had come to retrieve him, despite the stacking odds of him being alive.
Blackout did a quick scan of his leader before setting his hands underneath his body and with a mighty heave lifted Megatron's form up and then made his travel back to the surface. In order to avoid detection from the Autobots, Blackout had to swim at least three miles to be out of sight as he busied jamming the Autobot's scanners.
Once he got to the surface he carefully place Megatron's body on the cement ground, and after getting himself, began looking for supplies to help him carry his leader. Fortunately he was near a construction site and used some cable ropes and other types to create a makeshift stretcher for Megatron, at least until Blackout found a more private area to do what repairs he could.
A tank, severely damaged, could be seen making its way out of the city as discreetly as possible. Once it was in an isolated location, Brawl transformed to check his damage.
'Damn Ironhide, I need to get a new outer armor layer or my spark's energy will leak through.' The Decepticon thought to himself. Then he began to salvage for good metal to use, but was interrupted by the sound of a helicopter. But his scanners told him it was Blackout, so he relaxed as he looked up. He was shock though, to see the Con carrying Megatron's shattered body and laying it gently before him. Soon Blackout joined Brawl on the ground, a grieving look on his face.
"Brawl what is you damage status?" Blackout said as he worked on some circuits on Megatron's body.
"Stable for now" Brawl replied, then he looked at Megatron's form. "Is he…?"
"In stasis, and alive for now." Blackout said as he pulled out some seaweed from his body. "But I have neither the tools nor the expertise to repair him, our leader will die, and most likely Starscream will try to usurp command."
"A…a true statement Blackout." A familiar yet damaged voice said. The two Cons turned to see Shockwave limping towards them, his left hand on the missing part of his chest. His one optic was sticking out and drooping like it would come off any second. Blackout moved to the side as Shockwave examined Megatron's body. "I know a place where I can do enough repairs to keep him alive but we must act quickly."
"What do you want us to do?" Blackout asked, now lightened by the news that his master can be save.
"Brawl shall come with…me." Shockwave said before turning to Blackout. "You Blackout shall head out and round up any Decepticons who are loyal to Megatron and those who shall follow you. Then bring them to these coordinates. If Starscream has begun to rally the Decepticons under his wing, then we must act quickly or he will doom us all."
As Blackout transformed and headed off into the air and to wherever, Shockwave contacted someone on the transmitter. "Astrotrain, prepare your internal med bay, I need it for three wounded.
A giant Cybertronian craft suddenly appeared, colored in purple and grey, landing in front of the three Cons. Once it did a deep voice came from it, "All aboard"
Shockwave turned to Brawl. "Carry Megatron in while I prep the med bay. We must leave this place at once."
Brawl nodded, not defying the scientist's orders. As he lifted the body of the Decepticon Leader, he received two transmissions; the first was from Starscream and the other from Blackout.
:My fellow Decepticons, Megatron has fallen and his grand plan has failed. Your only hope for survival and victory once more rests with me. Join me and I will not fail you like Megatron has, for not just you, but for our planet, which is now gone. Come to these coordinates to begin your new service to me, Starscream:
:Decepticons, brothers and sisters still loyal to Megatron, rally behind me, Blackout. For though his plans may have been thwarted, his dreams of the survival for our race still live on. Follow me and we shall be victorious! All hail Megatron:
'Civil war' Brawl thought to himself as he entered the massive Decepticon and when Astrotrain closed his door and lifted off towards Shockwave's base.
I'm not sure if I'm doing a sequel but I'm keeping it in mind. Review
