Author's note: Okay I wanted to draw this out as long as possible, and after like thirty something chapters, and summer break coming up, I think its time to call it quits. Trust me, I'm as sad as you, thanks for sticking around and sharing the crack.

Warning: Final battle…ish…who wants cupcakes?

Disclaimer: In my attempts to own TFA I wrote a fic, the one you are now finishing, sure its funny, but Hasbro still ain't hiring me.

Down By the Bay

The Closing of the Curtains

The security alarm was going off again. The Decepticons had eventually regretted making the range of it so large, they were constantly picking up the signatures of the Dinobot they had come to call 'Swoop', flying between Dinobot island and the mainland. They had no reason to think that this time it was picking up something entirely different.

"Blackarachnia" Megatron shouted over the alarm while waiting for Soundwave to finish disengaging it. "Can't you go up and tell your 'boyfriend' to keep his buddy grounded!?"

The femme glared at him, of course with their base being so close to the Dinobots it had only been a matter of time before the metal lizards had noticed them, more specifically her, and Grimlock was almost always declaring love for his 'Spider-lady' from the beach.

"He's not my boyfriend!" She hissed, "And just so you know, if that Land Before Time reject comes near me again I'm filing a restraining order."

"Whatever!" Megatron countered, "If you tell him to do something he'll do it right?"

"Accept leave me alone, apparently." She muttered.

"Pass the message to him then!" The Decepticon leader ordered.

Blackarachnia rolled her eyes and made for the controls for the bride that would allow her to surface, but something caught her attention. Five signals had been picked up, and were bleeping across the screen. "Megatron!" She called, "I think we have company."

A moment too late. The door was busted down, and five vehicles appeared, Optimus, Ratchet, Prowl, Bumblebee, and Bulk-Head. The door to the ambulance opened and a small human girl climbed out and ran, looking for a place to hide until her friends told her it was time to put their plan into action.

"Intruders!" Megatron shouted, "Decepticons, prepare for attack!"

Across the base the warriors, started to gather as they heard their leader's call. More appeared in the command center surrounding the Autobots.

"Wait!" The young Prime exclaimed, "Were not here to fight! We just want to talk!"

Unfortunately, the Decepticons didn't share that idea, but luckily for the Autobots, not all of them were present, distinctly missing were Soundwave, his instruments, Lockdown, the Constructicons, Wasp, Starscream, and Blitzwing. Leaving only Megatron, Blackarachnia, Lugnut and Swindle. As if the Autobots stood a chance anyway.

Megatron lunged at the Prime, waving his swords masterfully, Optimus barely got his axe out in time to block the attack, Bumblebee and Bulk-head tag-teamed against Swindle, while Prowl was the only one fast enough to keep up with Blackarachnia. Ratchet was left shuttering at Lugnut.

Optimus became aware that Megatron was slowly backing him into the wall, and tried again to make it clear that he only wanted to help them with Blitzwing, but the Decepticon leader did not slow his attacks even when the young leader begged, "I don't want to fight you!"

Purple dots on the computer screen representing more Decepticons inched closer to them on the map displayed. What were they doing so far away? Optimus could only assume they had been searching for Allspark fragments. Or the Autobot's base

One of the purple dots breached the battlefield. Starscream transformed with a smirk and joined the 'fun', followed by Lockdown, who immediately tried to replace Blackarachnia in fighting Prowl.

Bulk-Head left Bumblebee to try and help Ratchet, Swindle decided to leave the yellow bot alone as well when Wasp appeared, tackling his counterpart. The battle stopped abruptly with the arrival of Blitzwing as he transformed out of his Jet mode, and crying out "WHO VANTS TO BE MAH FRIEND!?!"

Megatron and Starscream shook their heads embarrassedly, while the other Decepticons looked away in shame. The Autobots stared at him, and shyly Bumblebee and Bulk-Head raised their hands, hoping that would encourage the triple-change not to join the fight. Blitzwing cackled.

"Let's dance then!" He exclaimed happily, and started to sing.

Megatron pulled out the forbidden list and a pen from nowhere, and using Optimus' head as a writing surface jotted something down, "Blitzwing!" he shouted waving the paper high in the air, "You are not allowed to amalgamate with the enemy!"

Blitzwing looked spark broken as he whimpered, Optimus looked up at Megatron, "Amalgamate?" he repeated his optics sparkled with admiration. "Whoa, what a vocabulary." He muttered.

"Well I wasn't uneducated you know." Megatron stated bopping Optimus lightly on the head with the paper.

Six purple dots suddenly made it to their position on the map, and the door opened letting in Mixmaster, Scrapper, Soundwave and his three instruments. Expecting a battle they were at full speed, and slammed their breaks hard trying not to hit someone. Too late unfortunately, as Mixmaster bumped into Optimus who was knocked into Megatron, who fell backward onto the floor accidentally letting go of the forbidden list as he and the Autobot leader landed in a most interesting position.

At that same moment, Blitzwing had gotten over the new addition to his list and was instead showing off his 'mad fire and ice skillz'. The list floated dangerously towards the flames and as Megatron pulled Optimus' face away from his codpiece shamefully, he looked up in horror as the list went up in smoke.

Megatron leapt up and dashed forward reaching for the burning list with drawn out "Noooooooooo!!!"

Meanwhile Blitzwing leapt up dramatically with an equally drawn out "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!" and proceeded to sing his favorite song.

With their leader in broken shambles, the rest of the Decepticons had lost their will to fight, and for now, let the triple-changer gloat over his victory.

Starscream turned and glared at Optimus, "This is your fault for coming here Auto-Scum!" he shouted raising his Null-ray ready to fire.

Panicked Optimus could only think of one thing to save himself, "Guys NOW!"

Knowing the danger their friend was in, Bumblebee and Ratchet did not question the timing and Sari rushed out from her hiding place. Then she injected her key into Bumblebee's port boosting the strength of his electronic stingers. Together he and Ratchet let loose an electro magnetic pulse aimed, not at Starscream, but Blitzwing.

Taken by surprise, the Decepticons all turned to look as the attack hit the triple-changer. Charged with the power of the Allspark, the pulse had a strange effect on Blitzwing. It made their sparks grow cold with surprise and warm again with hope as three faces started to spin erratically on the head of the insane Decepticon, finally landing on the angry red face.

"Vhat's ze Big Idea, eh!?" Blitzwing Angry shouted with murder in his voice.

The face switched and was replaced by the calm blue demeanor of Blitzwing Cold. "Vhat's zis? Ve're back?"

The face switched again, back to the random one they had all become used to, "Vahhaa Haa ha hee! Zat tickled! Do it again!"

The red face returned, "I vill crush jou two into iron fillings! I'll yooze jou mother boards to make a zoup! I'll frag jour hard drive so bad jou von't know vhat a hard drive even is I'll-!"

Cold took control again, "Nien, vhat evah jou did, it brought us back, an' I am back to normal, I am in jour debt."

"I'll Destroy jou!" The red face yelled.

The blue face returned with a calm, "Nien, I von't," after which a full scale argument erupted between the two personalities.

"JA!"
"Nien."

"JA!"

"Nien."

Suddenly the face switched yet again to Random, "How about ve all just dance, and zrow zing avound!?!

Blitzwing's face changed to both Angry and Cold one after another with a unanimous "NIEN!!!"

Megatron put his arm around Optimus' shoulders and pulled him away, "I think we'd better leave those three alone for a little bit." He said, "Can I offer you some high-grade? I'm afraid it's the best we've got as thanks for, whatever the pit it was you just did."

"Um…" Optimus looked around at his comrades, who were all still staring at the triple change who was continuing to argue with himself over whether or not to destroy them or not. "Sure…. I guess."

"This way then." The Decepticon leader beckoned.

"Hey! Can we have High-grade too?" Frenzy and Rumble piped excitedly.

Megatron opened his mouth to respond, but Prowl suddenly shouted out "YOU!"

The small robots jumped and glanced at Prowl in surprise and terror. "Uh-oh!" They cried simultaneously. The other Autobots looked at their cyber ninja questioningly.

"Those are the two I saw taking off with our stuff!" Prowl clarified.

Soundwave looked down at his two creations, "Accusation: correct?" he asked monotonously.

The brothers giggled nervously, and it was Wasp who answered the question with another question, "Is that where mini-cons got all the stuff in their room?"

The brothers whimpered, Megatron rolled his optics, "Feh, we'll deal with that later, but for now thanks are in order, we'll have my home-brew."

"Home-brew!?" Blitzwing Angry cried from across the room, forgetting all about his argument with his icy personality, "Ey, I vant some ov Megatron's home-brew!"

He stood up straighter; the face swiveled around to Cold again, who held himself calmly heading towards the door, and began to softly sing his favorite song. Because Blitzwing was Blitzwing after all, no matter which personality was dominate.

"Down by ze Bay, vhere ze vatermelons grow, back to mah home, I dare no go, for if I do, mah leadah's gonna say…"

The Decepticons all turned to Megatron, waiting to see how he reacted before either tearing Blitzwing apart or letting him go. The overlord sighed and shook his head, "Well, at least this one can sing." He admitted.

"Down by ze Bay."
