DISCLAIMER: YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS
THE LOST CHILDREN OF CYBERTRON
Chapter 49: Here come the Ewoks
Will Lennox and his crew watched as the prisoners were taken away safely hidden by Mirage and Skywarp in the shadows. Both Autobot and Decepticon stared at each other before both could make a move. It was Skeeter however that had the notation to make a statement,
"Let's kick some Unicronian ass!" he shouted and the others locked and loaded their weapons.
"We maybe small but we are faster then them and smarter," said Kekoa as pulled a fist of fire out of the air.
"We are certainly going to give them hell," said Stitch as he came up to them.
"Mayhem!" shouted Scrappy.
"Hey I got an idea," said Kyouji
--MEANWHILE--
Sam twiddled his fingers in nervousness as they entered space and the vacuum made itself known with the cold of the outside. Starscream turned on his heaters for Sam as they exited the atmosphere and into the darkness of the heavens beyond. Right beside him was his two twin children Rodan and Radon and on the other side with a squad of his own Thundercracker with the three 'coneheads,' as he came to call them. As they all formed up next to Starscream and the twins the looming figure of Unicron appeared in the distance. As they approached Sam had this sinking feeling that something was up.
It was not until the warning lights began to flash and Thundercracker's warning that had Starscream taking evasive actions as well as the rest of the group as fighters began to fire at them.
"Shit! I thought they stopped the Oblivion already?" said Miles over the comm...
"Something must have happened to delay it we have to give them more time," said Radon as she buzzed past them to vaporize a group of fighters.
--IN THE OBLIVION--
Lennox was on Skywarp's shoulder a classic sling shot in his hand.
"Now how exactly are you going to use this thing?" Skywarp asked in his comm. device
"Simple it is called a Slingshot and it was a primitive weapon before humans had a civilization primitive but effective," he said and took aim. The self made sling shot sent its projectile over Skywarp's head towards the awaiting group of Unicronians.
They all turned their heads towards the disturbance and found one guard holding his optic as a small item had hit it.
"What is wrong with you?" asked the first one.
"I don't know something hit me in the optic," said the one who was hit
"Let me see," said the second as he examined the first only to find something hit him across the helm.
"Hey what the hell is that?" asked the second one.
"I don't know," said the first as they raised their weapons.
"I would not do that boys," said a voice behind them and they turned to find Skywarp standing there with both cannons out.
It was then that another group of Unicronians came out and had their weapons drawn out to Skywarp and the teleport smirked.
"NOW!"
With that said both humans and Deceptibots came out with weapons drawn from the rafters, the walls and the ground their small number was not much but their speed was enough to draw their attention.
Jazz, Bumblebee and the others online their optics to see the fight going on; It was then that they felt something release from their hands and feet. Mirage being invisible worked on their cuffs. As the remaining soldiers were freed while the humans distracted them they made a run for it with grabbing the humans and heading out.
"What about the charges?" asked Jazz as he looked at the bodies of his dead friends as they ran towards the ship.
"We managed to set them before we got you," said Epps who sat on Skywarp's shoulder.
"Mighty useful to have a teleport," said Lennox and then grinned when Kekoa flashed the bird at a few scouts and then opened fire on them.
As they ran through the ship towards the controls to the shuttle they managed to get some of the bodies onboard and into the infirmary area as Bumblebee started up the engines.
"Go I will catch up with you," said Skywarp as he ran back out.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?" said Jazz
"I owe it to Screamer to finish the job and end the war." Skywarp said with a smirk as he ran off to do something with Epps still on his shoulder.
The others ran into the shuttle and Bumblebee began the startup procedures.
"I hope he knows what he's doing?" said Jazz as the engines were heated enough that Bumblebee steered it out of the ship just as the explosions started.
--SKYWARP--
"So what exactly are we doing 'Warp?" asked Epps as Skywarp placed the last of the explosives down on the ground under the bridge.
"Just finishing the job and making sure the ship can no longer function once we cleared the area." Was the reply
"Oh," Epps said just as the first explosion started.
"Well that is our cue to leave," with that Skywarp transformed and teleported away.
--BACK ON EARTH--
Optimus Prime was busy with Prowl at his back and Shockwave on the other. The ground troops had already started pouring down on them and already they found themselves outnumbered. Blaster in hand he fired on a group but being as their shields were up he could not get a clear shot.
When the explosion happened in space the others cried out in joy as they began to try and fight with vigor. Barricade amongst them along with Zenith and Artemis as he twirled his weapon over his head as he charged at the enemy. The others were doing the same as they charged at the enemy head on.
Already the Deceptibots were pressed back as they made hit after hit but of no use. Barricade saw that they were tiring because they are not soldiers they are children.
Yet they are the only ones causing any sort of damage to the Unicronian forces. Others tried but they do not know where to strike a knowledge that he himself had so gracefully earned. As they moved down the line of death Barricade promised himself that he would protect the children at all costs.
Just as he said it a shuttle shot overhead and crashed into the mountains. As he looked harder he could make out the forms of Bumblebee and Jazz streaming out with some small reinforcements minus a certain teleport and a few others. He ducked just in time to avoid the spear of one Unicronian as he tried to fire his blaster. Barricade having moved faster unleashed Frenzy who fired a disk into the barrel of the gun causing it to explode and the smoking heap of the Sweep hit the ground with a thud.
Sonic and Stitch joined the fight as they too unleashed their weapons on the populace of Sweeps as they fought for control.
Bumblebee and Jazz joined up and they too added their own power to the fight.
When the explosion happened again it was with much relief that a single blaster shot killed a sweep sending it in a smoking heap to the ground.
"The shield is down now let go slag the bastards," yelled a Decepticon one that Barricade recognized as Drag Strip.
The real battle was on…
--SPACE--
The battle in space however was not so good going seeing as the explosion caused a ripple to smash through the forces taking out both friend and foe and drastically reducing their numbers down to nil. Starscream was most afraid that they would kill off the ruminants when the word went out.
"The shield is down! I repeat the Shield is down commence attack on c74ALPHA!" said a familiar voice as Skywarp burst in from the flames like a firebird when he exited his warp.
"Alright time to bring the Scream to the Star," said Starscream as he put in an extra thrust to his thrusters.
