Darkmount
Dreadwing, Jack, and Miko were flying and destroying the Decepticons left and right. Miko flew high into the air, getting away from her pursuers thanks to her alternate mode. The cons on her tail were firing all they could at her but all missed due to her speed. Miko transformed and turned her hands into energon blasters, shooting at the cons that dared to follow. The cons didn't have enough time to get out of the way, and so they were quickly shot down and destroyed. Miko transformed back into her jet mode and went out to help Jack, who was in more trouble than anyone else.
Miko found Jack in a bind, being shot at by eight cons on his tail. Jack maneuvered all around the bolts and was sending out flairs to keep them from locking missiles onto him. An energon bolt then hit Jack, making him smoke from the engines. Miko needed to get there fast, thankfully, she was an interceptor. She closed her wings closer to her body and started to move faster and faster. She brought out several missiles from under her and aimed them at the cons, getting locks on all of them. She fired eight of her missiles and pulled up, letting them hit their targets. One by one the cons were destroyed by the missiles, leaving Jack in the clear.
"Thanks Miko." Jack said.
"No problem, any word from Arcee or then team?" Miko asked.
"No, and Ultra Magnus hasn't called in for a while." Jack said.
"I would be flying faster if I were you, more cons incoming!" Dreadwing said. Just then, several more vehicons came from the clouds, being lead by Shatter. "You two get to stealth team, i'll handle this."
"What about you, you don't stand a chance against them?" Miko said.
"If I die then i'll be reunited with my brother, now go!" Dreadwing said flying away from them.
"You heard him Miko, lets go and-" Jack was cut off by a dust cloud forming at the base of the fortress, it was Shockwave. Shockwave transformed into what could be called an Cybertronian tank. He was driving towards Wheeljack and Bulkhead, both being preoccupied by the cons in the air. Shockwave fired his cannon, creating a great explosion where the wreckers stood.
"NO!" Miko yelled. She dove for Bulkhead and Wheeljack, wanting them to be okay.
On the ground, Shockwave transformed back into his Cybertronian mode and walked over to the unconscious wreckers. "Your mission was most illogical." Shockwave said. Shockwave aimed his cannon at Bulkhead, charging up for a kill. Before he could however, Miko transformed and used the momentum gathered and kicked Shockwave away. Shockwave was sent flying into a boulder, crashing into it and creating a giant crater.
"Stay away from my friends!" Miko yelled.
"It would be unwise of you to face me, especially when you are not adapt to your new body." Shockwave said getting up from the crater.
"I don't have to know how to use my body, i just need to know enough to kick your aft." Miko said.
"Then by all means, demonstrate your power." Shockwave said.
Miko charged at Shockwave, bringing out her blasters and shooting at the mech. Most of her bolts hit Shockwave, knocking his aim all over the place. Once she got close to him she turned her blasters into a wrecking ball like Bulkheads, just smaller than his. Miko side stepped and slammed one of the wrecking balls in Shockwaves head, making him stumble. Miko went on the offensive, bashing Shockwave left and right with her wrecking balls, causing a lot to damage.
Miko swung once more and hit Shockwave in his optic, cracking it and a few pieces falling off. Miko went for a left hook, but it was caught by Shockwaves hand. Shockwave started to bend her arm the other way and made her try and fight back against his strength. Miko was so focused on trying to pry Shockwaves hand from her arm that she didn't notice a cannon being placed on her chest plate. Shockwave fired his cannon, knocking Miko to the other two wreckers.
"Like I said, your mission is illogical." Shockwave said standing over the trio of wreckers.
In the sky, Dreadwing was not having a good time. Shatter was on him every step of the way, keeping up with his movements. Dreadwing dove and headed straight to the ground, knowing Shatter would follow as well. He increased his speed and got closer and closer to the ground, getting Shatter to follow his every move. Shatter saw this however, and was not easily tricked. She pulled out two heat seeking missiles, and fired them at Dreadwing. Dreadwing saw this and tried to pull up, but since he was going so fast he couldn't move out in time. The missiles hit Dreadwing in the engines, causing him to burn up and going to crash into the ground. But before he hit the ground, a ground bridge appeared in front of him and he went in. The ground bridge closed, leaving Shatter to pull out and head back to Darkmount.
In Darkmount, Jack was the last one standing. He needed to finish the job, with or without anyone else. He flew to the control tower were the fusion cannon controls were, crashing in and breaking through the wall. Once he was in the control room, he saw that is was empty. He thought that the team didn't get to the control room and he had to destroy the cannons himself. He went to a console and started to press buttons randomly, hoping to do something to the cannons. Before long the cannons started to charge up and were readying to fire.
"Scrap, please don't to this now." Jack said. "Raf, how do I shut down the cannons?"
*Do you see a dagger shaped button on the right hand side?* Raf asked.
"Yeah." Jack said.
*That's the reset, press it.* Raf said.
"Right." Jack said. He pressed the button and the cannons started to power down. "Thanks Raf, now tell me how to-" Jack was cut off by someone grabbing his shoulder and throwing him into the wall. Jack looked up and saw the warlord himself, Blitzwing.
"You're the one called Jack Darby, correct?" Blitzwing asked. Jack didn't answer, only aiming his machine guns and firing at Blitzwing. Blitzwing just ignored the bullets hitting his armor and kicked jack in his face plate. "I take that as a yes."
"Where are my friends!?" Jack demanded.
"They're on their way to the wreckers." Blitzwing said. "Lord Megatron, I have captured the one known as Jack Darby, what do you want me to do with him?"
*Bring him to me, and get ready to kill the other Autobots.* Megatron said.
"Yes, my liege." Blitzwing said. "Get up."
Blitzwing grabbed Jack, and walked him out to the throne room where Megatron was interrogating Ultra Magnus. "I will not ask again!" Megatron said.
"If I knew, I wouldn't tell you." Ultra Magnus said.
"Lord Megatron, I brought the boy." Blitzwing said.
"Good, if you do not know were Optimus Prime is, them he may tell me." Megatron said walking over to Jack.
"Stay away from me." Jack said.
"And what are you going to do Darby, your friends will die soon enough and all I have to do is give the order." Megatron said.
"STAY AWAY FROM MY FRIENDS!" Jack said breaking out of his cuffs and punching Megatron in the face plate.
Megaron was sent flying into a wall, making a dent on impact. Megatron got a hold of himself and looked at Jack, now with rage and a thirst to kill. He then noticed something, energon was leaking out of his mouth. He swiped some of it with his finger and looked at it. He was amazed by the strength that the boy had, no wonder Optimus Prime chose him to bring back his memories.
"Such power coming from a human like yourself, you'd make a fine Decepticon." Megatron said.
"I'll never join you." Jack said.
"Very well." Megatron said. "Starscream, execute our prisoners and fire each cannon at the nearest metropolis within its sites. It is time to show the known universe, that this planet belongs to megatron."
"Master, something is coming." Starscream said.
"The Predacons?" Megatron asked.
"There's only one, and it's not beasty enough." Starscream said. Megatron looked to get a better look, but he still couldn't make out who or what it was. "I know that color scheme."
"Wait, is that…..PRIME!" Blitzwing said.
"He can't fly, can he!?" Starscream said.
"OH YEAH!" Smokescreen said from the back of Optimus. Optimus landed, dropping off Smokescreen to help Ultra Magnus. Optimus turned around and backhanded Megatron, knocking him off balance. Optimus then uppercut Megatron, finally sending him flying into his throne. Jack took this and got out of Blitzwing's grasp, getting to Ultra Magnus and Smokescreen. Blitzwing and the other cons fired at Optimus, trying to take him down. Optimus blocked all the shots, pulling out a chain gun and firing at the vehicons. One by one they fell, leaving Blitzwing alone. Optimus fired at Blitzwing, the bolts doing high damage to his armor. Blitzwing was shocked that his armor was being torn through like paper. He jumped off the side of the tower and flew away to the Nemesis.
Starscream stood there in complete shock, seeing Prime alive once more. He backed up, but was met by Ultra Magnus, Smokescreen, and jack. Ultra Magnus punched Starscream, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.
"Commander?" Optimus said.
"Sir, you're looking...robust." Ultra Magnus said. "It is paramount that we disable the fusion cannons blow."
"Understood." Optimus said flying off to the cannons.
"All units, Optimus Prime has returned." Ultra Magnus said. "I repeat, Prime is alive and quite well."
"That entrance was so cool." Smokescreen said.
"Good to see you're alive." Jack said.
"You to, like your mode." Smokescreen said.
"Thanks." Jack said.
"Autobots, get on the ship." Ultra Magnus said jumping off the ledge. Smokescreen and Jack followed, getting on the ship and flying off. They got into the ship and started to fly away to get out of the cannons. Just then a giant explosion came from the fortress, causing a power surge and disabling the cannons.
"What about the others on the ground?" Jack said.
"Right." Ultra Magnus said. "Autobots, clear the area."
On the ground, Wheeljack and Bulkhead were fighting Shockwave, while Arcee, Backfire, Bumblebee, Sierra, and Miko transformed and drove off. Shockwave threw Wheeljack to the ground, looking up to only see Bumblebee slam into him and use him as a stunt board. The Autobots got away from Shockwave, Wheeljack giving him one last kick in the back and driving off. Shockwave looked up and saw that the humans have now destroyed the fortress.
"Soundwave, I require a ground bridge." Shockwave said. He walked a couple of feet and out of nowhere a portal opened up, Shockwave walking in and onto the Nemesis.
In the collapsing Darkmount, Megatron laid there trying to get up. Starscream ran into the control room to see his master on the ground. "Transport Lord Megatron to the warship." Starscream said.
"What are you doing?" No! I will not retreat!" Megatron said getting help from two vehicons.
"This battle is lost my liege. We must retreat if we are to have any hope of winning the war." Starscream said.
One Hour Later, Military Base
"On behalf of the President and the Joint Chiefs, I thank you all for your selfless heroism in defense of this planet. I'm only sorry the world can't know of your undying dedication, because I, for one, owe you my life, my liberty, and my future." Fowler said giving a salute.
"Aw, thanks Fowler, you're awesome." Sierra said.
"Sir, I am honored to relinquish command of the Autobots to you." Ultra magnus said.
"Welcome to Earth, Ultra Magnus. And to Team Prime." Optimus said.
"Okay, someones got too say it, Optimus 2.0 is rad!" Miko said.
"Yes, but the Forge is now drained of it's power." Ratchet said. "And any hope of rebuilding the Omega Lock has truly been lost."
"I did what I thought was right." Smokescreen said.
"You did good kid." Backfire said. "Without you, we would all be in the scrap yard."
"And your instincts have again proven to be quite sound." Ratchet said.
