THE LOST CHILDREN OF CYBERTRON

Chapter 50: Father's Pride

Prowl fired off another shot killing off a dozen more Unicronian soldiers satisfied that their force fields no longer work so he got busy hacking his way through them. As he enjoyed the work he was doing the human air force both on Earth and in Space was busy blasting away enemies like butter. The only problem then was the sheer number of them. As he fired cannon fire after cannon fire more would take their place.

The only thing going was the very mech that had kept him going this long.

It was like watching something from Primus above as he watched his son Zenith fight off several drones all at once. Twirling his weapon about Zenith brought up his cannon and fired a blast into the nearest Unicronian drone.

Prowl stood with pride as he shot another shot and watched as another fellow bot fell a bot named Brawn. He tried to protect a squad of humans as they prepared their cannon for attack. Artemis had long since disappeared as he barked orders for Bluestreak to fire a shot at that Unicronian that attacked.

Zenith turned just as one of the drones attacked and it fell to see the face of Bluestreak above him on the rocks sharpshooting. Zenith smiled and gave him thumbs up before he noticed a shadow growing closer. Placing his staff behind him Zenith concentrated on the ground above and with his might the ground began to shake.

"EAT THIS!" Zenith shouted as he caused the ground above Bluestreak to suddenly propel forward and threw the Sweep off. As the sweep fell towards the ground he was pierced by arrows of ice. The Sweep fell lifeless and Zenith stared at the form of Kyouji as he stood above them.

He failed to notice the form of a Drone till one stabbed him right through the heart and ripped him to pieces. Zenith could only stare in horror as Kyouji was torn to shreds and consumed by the Unicronian.

Prowl noticed this and fired a shot killing the drone and watched as Zenith ran towards the human that was torn to shreds.

He watched his son cry and fired a shot behind him without looking back and felt a thud knowing that another Sweep fell. Prowl knew he had to do something but his processor was hurting from just the thought of it and feared that it would overload and go into stasis which he can't afford out here. It was then that Jazz walked up to him,

"Go to him," he said and fought off another soldier.

Already the many falling bodies of those around him filled his olfactory sensors as Prowl entered the area where Zenith sat with his back turned. Artemis watching his back as she fought off another bunch but Sweeps and screamed at Zenith to get up. The sparkling was still just that a child and Prowl knew this as he walked up to his son. Slowly he embraced him allowing the child some comfort.

As he comforted the sparkling he kept his gun ready as he fired shot after shot to protect him and his son. Bluestreak joined him and he took kept the monsters at bay. A few Decepticons joined them mainly the Stunticons who were forced to separate when Menasor took a hit and with that Wild Rider as he fell.

"We are so screwed aren't we?" asked Drag Strip

"Yep," replied Bluestreak.

--MED BAY AUTOBOT HEADQUARTERS--

Those who could make it to the Medical Bay were quickly being helped by those available. The Constructicons as well as the Autobot Protectorbots and the main Medical Team consisting of Ratchet, Wheeljack and Alex all went to help. At the moment Alex was busy repairing the arm of one of the tank type transformer who did not have time to get an Earth Alternate form of E.A.F. he was a Decepticon by allegiance and from the looks of it needs help stopping the flow of Energon that leaked from his wounds. Having a suit that protects her from the energy flow helped her as she dug her fingers into his armor and managed to stop most of the bleeding.

Ratchet and Wheeljack were busy with a badly wounded Soundwave who took a hit to the spark casing luckily for him it was not too damaged. The faster they can get the bots or cons up and out to fight the better.

Already human casualties were high as well as Cybertronian; already they had lost several to their wounds and many more followed including Ratbat whom was the reason Soundwave is still alive and Ultra Magnus is holding by a fuse wire. The others cried out in pain as they saw this and tried not to fall victim to it.

Alex worked as hard and as fast as she could but her body was tiring and a gentle hand/paw landed on her shoulder.

"You should recharge human this battle is going to be a long one," and with that Ravage in his jaguar form left to return to Soundwave.

"She is right you know Alex," and Alex turned to a doctor whom joined the fray to help the Autobots.

"But I am needed here," she protested as he placed a hand on her shoulders.

"I know you are but you are also needed elsewhere and that is the bed. Get some rest we will take over till it is done," he said

"But the battle…"

"The battle will still go on when you wake and you need your rest to remain functional." Said the doctor and shoved Alex in the direction of the door to the human quarters. Alex slumped her shoulders as she obeyed.

As she sat there she could not help but wait it out. By the time she returned several hours later the medbay was still a mess but at least the Cybertronians took shifts to all them to recharge and then to help out. Alex walked over to her berth to find to her surprise Mikaela busy finishing her patient's arm.

"Thought you could use a hand so I gave you one," she said as a joke.

Alex smiled as Mikaela gave her a cup of hot chocolate and something to eat. The Medical Bay had quieted down quiet a bit but luckily for them the sounds of fighting had moved away so they were left to tend to the wounded.

Alex was then suited up to protect herself from the Energon that leaks from Cybertronian bodies since too much of it can burn a human dangerously if overdosed. The liquid energy was enough to drive anyone insane with the possibility of a new clean energy source and well if they survive they can see if they can convert the resources that earth has into Energon. In the meantime it is serving as the lifeline of the Transformers race.

As Alex looked outside she could not help but wonder what would happen if the war ended in failure. It was then that she felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned to find Ratchet in his holoform next to her.

"Don't worry I have faith that things will work out," he said and Alex smiled,

"I hope so," she said

--OUTER SPACE--

Starscream cursed as he dodged yet another stray blast from a rival. Sam held on as they neared Unicron the planet sized transformer grew enormous with each passing second. Sam held on as they neared and when they got to the surface he could see the turbo lasers going off while Unicron's horns sent the occasional blast towards the fighters. As they made their way towards the planet and where they have to go.

Rodan and Radon flew alongside their father or mech creator while Goliath, Skyfire and Jetfire flew just behind providing cover. It was a madhouse as they separated and each went their own way. Radon fired a few shots at some of the fighters heading their way while Starscream dodged another.

"Why can't we go any faster?" that question came from Rodan as he shot down another fighter.

"Oh shut it!" yelled his sister as she transformed and took on another fighter with her bare hands.

Sam held on as a scream was heard and he saw the form of an Autobot that he did not know go with a blaze of glory a Unicronian fighter right after him being chased by Skywarp. The teleport managed to get out of the way in time as he teleported behind the enemy and let them have it.

Thundercracker on the other hand was having a hard time dodging an enemy when Thrust came and covered for him only to be killed by another fighter. Ramjet and Dirge went after the scout killing him in the process.

"This is insane!" yelled Sam through his audio.

Starscream winced at the panicked voice of the human in his cockpit and remembered that Sam is only a civilian in this battle. As they finally reached the surface of Unicron they were bombarded with missiles and weaponry as Unicron struggled to keep the two bearers of the spark of Primus off of him. Starscream bearing the Matrix of Leadership and Sam bearing the Allspark.

FLASHBACK

"Prime I need the matrix," Starscream stated to Optimus as the Autobot leader nodded reluctantly and opened his chest plates. The matrix falling into Starscream's hands and burned.

"Please mighty matrix I call upon your help to bring down Unicron and protect our people," he said to the crystal as the crystal calmed he placed it into his subspace pocket and slowly made his way towards the launch pads.

"Starscream!" And with that Starscream turned to face Optimus Prime

"Till all are one," he said and Starscream saluted

"Till all are one,"

END FLASHBACK

Starscream dove through the turbo lasers like he saw those fighters do in Star Wars and with ease made his way towards the canyon that would lead him down into the depths of Unicron. Right beside him were the twins Rodan and Radon as they blasted away enemies' right beside him.

He entered the canyon with the twin's right beside him keeping the enemies behind him as he flew onwards. As they went down the canyon towards his goal a mechanical hand reached out and grabbed him sending electric pulses through his body and the twins also felt the same shock. As systems began to fail they started to see black as they all fell to darkness.

--MEANWHILE—

Thundercracker watched as they went down and disappeared into Unicron being dragged by techno-organic arms. He could hear his brother's pain through his spark as he and his sparklings were taken by Unicron into the giant maw that was where Unicron fed on planets.

"Thundercracker to Skywarp and Jetfire,"

"Jetfire here go ahead Thundercracker," was the reply from the Autobot Aerial Commander

"Just saw Starscream, Rodan and Radon be consumed by Unicron I need someone to watch my six as I go in," Thundercracker replied

"Alright Thundercracker, Skywarp did you hear that?" he asked for the teleport

"Affirmative I am with you T.C." Skywarp replied as they neared Unicron.

"Alright here we go Red Group, Gold Group all fighters follow me," Thundercracker replied as he made his run into Unicron.

The group consisted of Ramjet, Thundercracker, Jetfire, Goliath, Skyfire and Skywarp as well as a few others both human and Cybertronian that made their way towards Unicron.

--ON EARTH--

Prowl fired off another shot while Zenith stood at his side firing away with Bluestreak's sniper rifle. Right beside him he could see fellow Autobots fall including some he knew such as Brawn and Tracks. He vaguely watched Sunstreaker hauling his brother off the battle field as they made their way to the medics. Already he was wounded from several shots by stray blasters. He could see with his optics sensors his own creation was not doing so well either.

Zenith supported many wounds on his body from stray shots as well as the lucky hits from those melee attacks that came from the sweeps. Bleeding and almost out of energy Zenith fought on hoping that he would get the chance to say to his father that he made him proud. It was with difficulty that Prowl watched slowly as a shot came from far off and Zenith was hit through the chest cavity and Prowl quickly dropped his rifle and held on to his sparkling.

Zenith was badly wounded as he held him the mech was leaking Energon all down his arms.

"Father," he could barely hear the mech as he was picked up and headed towards the medical area. Artemis was already down having taken a hit by a stray bomb but luck was with her when Arcee dragged her towards the medical area. As for the rest of the Deceptibots three were down Stitch had been found dead by his fellows and already Kekoa and Lori brought his body back to Alex. As Prowl lay Zenith down Alex came rushing over to him and started on him immediately having already several spark casings on a table each containing a spark ready for use.

Zenith smiled up at Prowl as Prowl held his hand.

"You are going to be alright," he said to his son as Zenith lost the ability to speak.

"I am so proud of you Zenith you did very well. You have done both myself and your femme creator proud. I just wish I did not have to be this way," Prowl said and saw the smile on Zenith's face as the Ford Focus was placed in stasis.

Getting up Prowl turned towards the battlefield once again to help out with the fighting.

TBC

Alright people I will be realistic here not many guys are going to live through this including the Deceptibots but don't worry too much folks. War maybe ugly but sometimes good things happen from it. As for the ending I have a few more chapters to go in this exciting story so stay tuned.
