Chapter 22: Battle for the Earth (V)

Bellwood Town, New York, U.S.A.,

With Cybertron slowly emerging out from the largest and widest Space Bridge Portal, the Vehicon Troopers, around the globe, have begun the attack and invasion on the Earth. They began shooting, destroying and burning down most of residents, rural, cities, states and so on. Most of the innocent people were panicking and running for their lives, though others were got injured and a few got killed. The soldiers did their best to fight off the enemies while covering the civilians' evacuation as long as they can.

Some of Vehicon Troopers were invading and attacking Bellwood Town. They began firing their guns and smashing at couple of buildings, alerting and scaring the civilians to panic and ran for their lives. As they continued tearing most of buildings and vehicles apart, one of them heard the screams from cornered building. He approached to the area, found a group of family were holding and hugging each other tightly.

As the Vehicon Trooper was prepared to finish them off, he then heard some loud honks. He turned and looked on his right, where he found Rustbucket RV was charging straight at him. And just before the Decepticon Trooper could react, it rammed him off to the rest of his squadron to the ground hard.

As the Vehicon Troopers recovered from the surprised attacks, they looked up and found an old man and some children were standing before them. One of them is a 12-years-old boy with spiky brown hair worn a white shirt with black stripe and greenish military pants-like and sneaker stood before them.

"You pick the wrong town to mess with," The boy exclaimed cockily and confidently. He then activated his advanced watch-like. He smirked, "It's Hero Time!"

He then slammed his watch as he began strange transformation from human turned into a diamond-like muscular alien worn blackish-whitish suit. He smirked proudly as his hands transformed into his sharped swords-like.

"Oh yeah! It's go time!"

Most of them engaged and attacked them head on, with their various type of guns, advanced blasters and even placed some bombs on them by their legs to blow them up. Some, from distance and high, fired their sniping guns and missiles at the enemy Cybertronians by heads, eyes, limbs and even spark chambers. Others used heavy artillery tanks and flying jets to engage them as well.

And at the same time, Autobots and Human Allies have to fight off the Quintessons Army and the Decepticons' Human Accomplices. The Decepticon Accomplices used Headmaster Units for attacking, infiltrating and hacking their heavy artillery, and even used the Cybertronians against them as well. Nevertheless, the Autobots and their Human Allies refused to give in and continued their fight.

The fierce battle between three factions raged on as none of them refused to stop and continued blasting and fighting against each other, though their numbers of troops and weapons dwindled and destroyed.

Ark, Battlefield, Decepticon Main Headquarter, Badlands of South Dakota, U.S.A.,

After retrieving the Emebrstone; Perceptor, Sam, his family and friends quickly used the Groundbridge Portal to teleport and return to the Ark. They regrouped and reunited with Jolt, Chip, Rad, Alexis and Carlos at the command bridge. Perceptor kept the Emberstone close to him. They're now piloting the ship to fly and escape the battlefield. At the same time, they have to battle against the Decepticon Fleet and its army of fighters. They're all flying and heading towards the ship.

Luckily, the Ark received more reinforcement from more of United States Air Force Fleet, Aerial Vehibots, Autobot Jet Fighters and Gunships. They all flew off and engaged the Vehicon Troopers and Decepticon Ships while protecting the cruiser. Ark continued flying and escaping the battlefield while unleashing the barrage of turret's laser blasts and missiles on enemy cruisers and fighters.

"Hold on tight, everyone," Jolt said firmly while piloting the Ark, "We have to get out of here ASAP!"

Perceptor nodded firmly, "Agreed. We have the Emberstone. Megatron and Quintessa must not get the hands on it again."

"You don't need to tell us twice, man," Leo commented in concern.

Sam sighed, "Let's hope that we can make it out alive. The last thing we need is we get caught by some tractor beam and get invaded."

"We're safe now, right?" Carlos asked hopefully, "I mean no way the Cons could get to us."

"Please, don't jinx it," Izzy protested firmly, "Anyone said that brings bad luck to us."

"Don't be ridiculous, Izzy. There's no such thing," Mr. Yeager brushed off Izzy's concerns as he calmly patted her hair. Suddenly, the sudden quake shook the whole ship, making everyone almost fall. He groaned a bit, "I stand corrected."

"What just happen?" Megan asked in concern.

Jolt approached to the computer, checking and finding out of what happen. To his shock and concern, he found out the navigation map revealed the purple colored ship was approaching towards the Ark.

"We've got company!" Jolt exclaimed in concern. He looked up at the command bridge's window, where they found Nemesis is flying and coming towards them. He gasped, "Here they come!"

"Scrap! Autobots, prepare for Decepticon boarding!" Perceptor ordered firmly and seriously. He then passed the Emebrstone Canister to Sam and Spike, "Sam! Spike! Gather your family and friends at once. Keep the Emberstone away from the enemy! Minicons, protect them!"

Vehibot Troopers quickly loaded up and armed with their blasters. Perceptor and Jolt did the same thing as well. They all gathered to the front of command bridge's window, preparing to face the Decepticons' boarding party. Sam and Spike gathered all of their family and friends together as they quickly hid behind the cabinet, along with six Minicons guarding and keeping them safe.

As the Decepticon Warship was slowly flying and approaching to the Ark, Nemesis launched couple of tow cables. They've broke through the command bridge's glasses, and attached to the floors. The army of Decepticon Troopers are armed with their weapons, preparing to board and invade the Ark. The army of Vehicon Troopers climbed down the tow cables, heading straight to the command bridge, where they began firing and shooting their blasters at Perceptor and his team. Some of them even jumped and landed on top of the ship, began cutting a hole on them to enter and fight off the Vehibot Troopers. Others fly towards the hangar bay, where they engaged Autobot Troopers.

Perceptor and his team continued firing and shooting at the enemy forces as long as they can; Soundwave, Slipstream and Waspinator have arrived at the command bridge. Soundwave launched his tentacles in slamming and electrocuted both Perceptor and Jolt. Slipstream firmly and swiftly knocked and defeated most of Vehibot Troopers while Waspinator, in his wasp form, charged and rammed most of them, as well as firing his stinger blasts at them.

After defeating and putting Perceptor and his units into unconsciousness state, Soundwave and his units began searching and hunting down for the Emberstone. The Decepticon Communication Officer launched out his four loyal Minicons. They all began searching and hunting for Emberstone around the command bridge.

Searching for the specific item around the captain's seat, Ravage caught something amiss in his nose. He began sniffing out around the surroundings, following and locating the scent, which was leading straight to the cabinet. The Cybertronian Jaguar approached to it, where he sniffed on it carefully and firmly. Detecting a familiar scent, Ravage growled before roared out loud, alerting his allies.

Soundwave and his allies regrouped on Ravage's location. Rumble, activated his Crunch Piston, slammed and wrecked on the cabinet's door as hard as he can, bending it to open. It revealed Sam, Spike and their friends, hiding within. Six Minicons armed themselves for the fight and defend their allies. Sam was holding tight on Emberstone.

"Got you now, human!" Frenzy snapped amusingly.

"Mission Accomplished!" Soundwave's Recorded Voice played.

His tentacles emerged out from his body, Soundwave was about to get the hold on the Emberstone. However, his tentacles got cut into two. He turned and found Ratchet, Cheetoh and Depth Charge. Perceptor and Jolt also recovered from the unconsciousness. All of them are armed with their weapons.

"I don't think so, Soundwave!" Ratchet snapped firmly.

Clenched his fist in fury, Soundwave's voice spoke up in normal tone, "Decepticons, attack! Operation: Termination! Retrieve the Emberstone!"

"As you wish!" Slipstream hissed amusingly.

Frenzy chuckled while loaded up his blasters, "Oh yeah! Time to play, Autobots!"

Rumble pounded his Knuckle Piston, "Get ready to crumble before Rumble!"

Ratchet's Team charged and engaged Soundwave's Team. Four Minicons charged and chased after Sam, Spike and his friends, who make the run from them.

Soundwave launched his two tentacles straight at Ratchet, who blocked and deflect the attacks for two to five times. He then transformed into his ambulance, driving off and ramming straight at the Communication Officer. He held him off for the moment before hold and thrown him off against the wall. Approaching to the medic, he was about to finish him off but instead, he got kicked off. Ratchet got up and swung couple of punches at Soundwave, who blocked and fought back for couple of times. Eventually, the medic managed to give a powerful punch at the Communication Officer's screen mask-like, giving it some cracks. Soundwave unleashed his Sonic Wave Attack, blowing and repelling him straight against the wall for the moment. Armed with his right hand with claws, he struck his attack at him but missed when he moved aside before kicked him off. Ratchet, armed with his blades, charged and engaged Soundwave, who used his bare armored hands to block and fight back for couple of rounds.

Slipstream screeched out loud as she fired her twin Giga Blasters at Depth Charge and Jolt, who were both forced to dodge and evade the attacks. Jolt swung and coiled his electrical whip around the Seeker's body, giving some electrical shocks. Depth Charge then fired and blasted his missiles at her, blowing her up. To their shock and surprise, she managed to transformed into jet to fly and ram them off. She transformed again as she launched her missiles and blasters at them both. They both barely avoid and dodge the attacks. Jolt was firing back at her. Depth Charge, transformed into flying manta ray, flying and chasing after Slipstream. Both of them were flying and firing their blasters at each other. Jolt did his best of firing at her while helping and treating the wounded Vehibot Troopers.

Waspinator screeched out loud as he fired his stingers at both Perceptor and Cheetoh, who both barely dodge and evade the attacks. Cheetoh took out and threw the spear at the large wasp-like, knocking him to the ground hard. He transformed into his robot mode. He screeched out loud as he charged and attacked them both. Perceptor barely dodge and evade the attack while the Maximal Warrior blocked and held off the Horrorcon Warrior. Both of them swung and struck their spears at each other firmly and fiercely for couple of rounds. Perceptor jumped on Waspinator's back but got shook and thrown him off. The Horrorcon fired his stinger blaster at the Maximal, who blocked and deflected the attacks for couple of times until one of them hit on his stomach. And just before Waspinator could finish him off, he got his head whacked by Perceptor's swinging pole.

Stan Bush: You never bend, you never break

You seem to know just what it takes

You're a fighter

Sam and his friends were running out for their lives from Soundwave's Minicons. They all split up and went to different direction.

Laserbeak was firing its laser blasters at the family of Witwicky and Yeager, who barely dodge and evade the blasts. Spike, Sam and Mr. Yeager looked at each other, nodded firmly and determinedly. The men came out from their hiding place, waving the Emberstone and luring the drone away from their family. The drone fired its lasers at them. They did their best to dodge and evade the blasts for few times. One of the blasts hit the ground hard, knocking them to the ground. Emerging the claws out, Laserbeak was about to get the Emberstone.

Wheelie and Brains fired their blasters at it. The rest of their family all then charged and attacked it at once. Spike, Sam and Mr. Yeager joined and attacked it at once. Laserbeak struggled to escape them.

Rumble chuckled happily and wildly as he cracked up his knuckles. High Wire, Sureshock and Grindor threw themselves at him. He easily knocked them off at once. He turned and glared at the humans. Determined to defend the children, Chip rolled his wheels hard to charge and ram at Rumble but punch and knock him aside. Rad and Carlos jumped and attacked him on top while Alexis helped up Chip. Rumble, got annoyed and frustrated, grabbed and threw them on Chip and Alexis. All of them grunted in pain, struggled to recover and stand up. He was about to finish them off.

Concern for their friends; High Wire, Sureshock and Grindor refused to let them died. They all transformed and combined together at once. High Wire turned into armored large hands and large wheels-like wingspan, Grindor became the large armored chest-like and Sureshock formed large legs of two wheels. They all combined together into one being.

"METALHAWK AWAKEN!" Metalhawk declared firmly. He turned and glared at Rumble. He called out, "Hey! Why don't you pick somebody on your own sizes?!"

Rumble turned and found Metalhawk stood before him. He groaned, "So what?! I'm still better than you!"

"Be my guess!" Metalhawk declared firmly.

Metalhawk screamed wildly and determinedly as he launched couple of punches at Rumble, who blocked and deflected them off before punched back at him. Both of them fought very hard and determined until one of them lose the big fight. Chip and three teenagers cheered out for their friend to win.

It's in the mighty hands of steel

Ravage roared wildly and angrily as it pounced on Kicker, who struggled to hold him while trying to move him aside. Unfortunately, the jaguar managed to pin him down, and even gave him a scratches on left cheek. Professor Sumdac, Mika and Sari were hiding behind the computer console. Seeing him in trouble, both Professor Sumdac and Mika rushed out to help him by using pole to hit it. Instead of knocking it out, Ravage roared at them both, scaring them off. Mika tried to run but her lad coat got grabbed and dragged by the Cybertronian Jaguar. Professor Sumdac swung his pole at it by face. Ravage jumped and attacked him mercilessly and violent, and even giving him some scratches and even bite on his right hand.

Despite fear of dangerous wildcats, Sari can't stand watching her father's getting killed by them. She looked around the tools, searching and finding the right item to knock him out. She accidentally activated the large wielding torch, which blasted off and rammed Ravage straight at the crate hard. Kicker, Mika and Professor Sumdac looked shock and surprise by knocking out the jaguar. Sari approached to her father, hugging him passionately. He sighed as he hugged her back.

Agent Fowler and Agent Simmons were firing their pistols at Frenzy, who went berserk and fired back at them. Leo, Shane, Glenn and Buddy screamed in fear while lowered down for cover. As both sides continued firing at each other, one of Frenzy's blasts hit on Leo's butt. He screamed in pain as he unintentionally rammed and knocked his friends at the crates, knocking over Frenzy. He accidentally blasted at the ship's control panel, which caused it to go haywire and out of control.

Stan Bush: And you never get hit when your back's to the wall

Gonna fight to the end and you're takin' it all

You got the touch

You got the power

All he found Clone Sentinel Prime and Lockdown were leading and fighting against the Autobots and his forces.

"Where in the pits of Unicron is she?!" Megatron demanded in fury.

BOOM! CRASH! Megatron was alerted by the loud noise of crash and explosion. He turned and found both Ark and Nemesis have crashed through the main entrance of Decepticon Main Headquarter. Before he could contact Soundwave, he gave some thoughts as he slowly realized of where Quintessa has disappeared to.

"All forces, find and get me the Emberstone! Gould, defend the Control Pillar at all cost! Exterminate that witch!" Megatron shouted angrily through his comlink, "Do not let any Autobots or Quintessons getting in your way! Destroy them all!"

"Yes, Lord Megatron!" Decepticons' Voices replied firmly and determinedly.

Megatron transformed into his armored yet demonically version of Cybertronian Jet Mode. He flew off straight to the Decepticon Main Headquarter, attempted to get the Emberstone and kill Quintessa before she ruined his master plan.

Overheard what Megatron has said, Optimus Prime grunted in pain as he struggled to get up from his injuries. He breathed tiredly and exhaustedly. He made contact to the rest of his Autobots.

"Autobots, stop the Decepticons and Quintessons! Protect the Emberstone! Destroy the Control Pillar!" Optimus Prime said firmly, "We cannot let either of them succeed! We cannot let them destroy our home and this planet. Do not let it happen again!"

"Yes, sir!" Autobots' voice exclaimed and responded firmly.

Command Center, Decepticon Main Headquarter, Badlands of South Dakota, U.S.A.,

Both Dylan and Masterson were inside the command center, watching the monitor screen involved of fierce battle between Autobots, Decepticons and Quintessons. They were accompanied and assisted by their thugs and Headmaster Units. They received the call from Megatron that they have to guard the Space Bridge Control Pillar. The device is now attached to computer panel, controlling ad stabilizing the giant portal to bring Cybetrron to Earth.

Dylan sighed as he turned off his phone, "Looks like things is getting tense now. We need to watch over that device now."

"Wow. You don't say?" Masterson said in concern yet nervous.

"Yeah… No shit," Dylan confirmed in concern. He then noticed the nervous Masterson, "Yo, what's up with you being nervous?"

"Nothing, sir. Nothing. Nothing at all!" Masterson exclaimed fearfully and frantically.

Dylan scoffed as he turned his attention to computer screen, "Well, whatever it is, I hope you're not planning to go behind my back." He hummed thoughtfully while looking at the computer screen, "You know what? I've been wondering if you and Starscream were actually helping us from the start of your project."

"What are you talking about, man? Of course, it was to help you guys out to beat the Bots and U.S. Why wouldn't I do it?"

"Yeah. That's the thing, Masterson. Why would you?" Dylan asked suspiciously, making Masterson more nervous and worried. He continued, "Of all the years you've been working with me, you didn't really do a good job at all until today. I'm kinda impressed but this makes me uneasy to wonder. What exactly you plan with the Headmaster Units?"

Alerted by Dylan's suspicious, Masterson took out his gun, preparing to shoot at him. Unfortunately, Dylan quickly turned and fired his armed gun at him by chest five times. Masterson got thrown over to the damaged power reactor. He then dropped to the ground while leaned against the wall.

Masterson coughed painfully with blood spilling, "Y-You knew?"

"Of course, I knew, Masterson. Do you know why I'd never like you in the first place?" Dylan asked amusingly, making Masterson scared and worried. He smirked, "You're very annoying for a noob."

Masterson coughed, "D-Don't… call me… that… Jerk…"

Masterson sighed weakly while closing his eyes, lying dead against the walls. Dylan scoffed in annoyance while wiped cleanly on his pistol. He turned and glared at the rest of thugs and Headmaster Units. They all yelped in fear and worried as they turned and continue with their works, without provoking him.

Dylan rolled his eyes while remarked dryly, "Punk ass…"

Battlefield, Decepticon Main Headquarter, Badlands of South Dakota, U.S.A.,

Both Ark and Nemesis have crash-landed on the battlefield hard. Ratchet's and Soundwave's Team got slammed and fell on the ground due to the ships made impact on the battlefield. All of them groaned and moaned in pain and agony as they slowly and struggled to get up from the ground.

Danny grunted a bit as he slowly got up from the ground. He found the canister of Emberstone was in front of him. However, in front of him, it was Soundwave, who also slowly got up from the impact, was looking at the canister. He has his tentacles emerged out from his body as they were about to get it.

Scared and worried for both the world and family, Danny did the unthinkable action that no one has expected him to do – quickly taken the ancient relic of Prime with him. He then ran off at once. His action made everyone to be disbelief and shocked to be speechless.

"Did not see that coming…" Buddy commented in surprise.

"He's got the relic! Get him!" Slipstream exclaimed in anger.

Slipstream was about to give chase, but got her legs grabbed by Depth Charge, making her trip and fell on the ground. Both of them gave the fierce brawl with each other. Waspinator transformed into his Wasp Mode as he buzzed and cgased after Danny. He got pounced and attacked by Cheetoh in his cheetah mode. Both Beast Machines wildly and fiercely engaged a duel. Managed to get up from the ground, Soundwave was about to move out but got slammed against the walls by Ratchet. Both of them punched couple of punches, and even swinging and striking their own blades at each other. Soundwave signalled his own Minicons to go after him but instead, they were blocked and engaged by Metalhawk and the rest of Human Allies.

While Danny was running for his life, both Vehicon Troopers and Quintesson Minions were chasing after him, though they gotten into a brawl with each other. And at the same time, they all got blocked and shot down by Perceptor, Jolt and the remaining unit of Vehibot Troopers. The boy has managed to reach and exited out of the Ark Command Bridge's shattered window hole.

"Sam! Spike! Get Danny now!" Perceptor shouted in concern while shooting at the enemy troops, "We'll try to hold them as long as we can!"

"Got it!" Sam exclaimed firmly, "Spike, come on!"

Spike nodded firmly, "Alright. Danny, hang on. Daddy's coming!"

Sam and Spike quickly moved out at once. They were soon joined by Carly, Megan, Wheelie and Brains. They too wanted to help rescuing and protecting Danny from danger.

Arriving to the shattered window, they emerged out from the hole. They then found the battlefield and even the Decepticon Main Headquarter are surrounded by the ferocious battle between Autobots, Decepticons and Quintessons. Nevertheless, they braved themselves, jumping and entering into the battlefield as they have to find and get Danny before either of two enemy forces could get him and taken the Emberstone.

All alone, Danny was running across the fierce battlefield as he was holding tight on the Emberstone Canister. And at the same time, he has to avoid and evade from getting stomped, blasted, get caught or even killed by three factions during their fierce battles.

Updated and notified by Soundwave, the Decepticons kept their optic and audio sense sharp and alert on their target as they were still battling both Autobots and Decepticons. Autobots and their Human Allies were also notified by Ratchet to watch out and protect Danny from getting caught or killed by the enemy forces. When either Decepticons or Quintesson Soldiers spotted Danny, they tried to grab and capture him alive while ramming and knocking each other to get him. But instead, the Autobots and their Human Allies blocked and repelled them from reaching and getting Danny.

Bulkhead and Breakdown were still brawling and hammering their heavy weapons on each other. Brawn was chasing after the worried and scared Knockout, who is still worrying about his paintjob. Springer and Clone Sentinel Prime were duelling in medieval combat style. Using their vehicular mode, Bumblebee and Sideswipe were racing and battling against Barricade in high speed. Ironhide and Blackout have unleashed the barrage of laser cannons, blasters and missiles at each other, as well as the opponent forces. Volcanicus and Devastator were wildly and fiercely brawling and combating with each other. Defensor and Bruticus were firing their blasters and missile at their opponents while using the damaged tanks and cruiser as shield against the attacks. Both Victorion and Menasor were swinging and striking their swords against each other determinedly. Superion and Galvatronus were having air battles by firing their blasters and combating against each other. Crosshairs and Evac were staying close, keeping their eyes out for Makeshift, who kept on changing his appearance to sneak attack on them. Jazz helped Drift to fend off Acid Storm and Sun Storm. Moonracer, Mudflap and Skids were still engaging Thrust, Dirge and Ramjet. Cliffjumper was still engaging and fighting off both Thundercracker and Skywarp. Arcee and Chromia stayed close together as they were challenging and combating against both Starscream and Lockdown.

While running across the battlefield, Spike and his team were calling out and searching for the young boy. Unfortunately, the battlefield was too crowded and cluttered for them to find him. Luckily, Rodimus and Larry come to their aid. He transformed into Lamborghini Car Mode, allowing them to hop in. He then drove off at once while firing and blasting his blasters at both Decepticons and Quintessons while they were searching for him.

Still running for his life, Danny was searching a way to escape the battlefield but found all direction were blocked by three Cybertronian Factions battling with each other fiercely and determinedly. He can't afford to stay and wait around for himself to get captured or killed. He has to find a way to escape it. While looking around of his surroundings, he found that the road to Decepticon Main Headquarter is the safest route for him to escape and hide. He ran straight to the place at once, while dodging and evading the fierce battles.

Quintessa was teleporting across the battlefield while firing and blasting her Dark Magic on both Autobot and Decepticon Troopers. She was searching and hunting down the Emberstone. She spotted Danny was running out for his life. She hissed angrily and fiercely, determined to reclaim what is hers.

The demonically armored jet form of Megatron was flying across the clear sky, searching and hunting down Danny. Using both navigational system and magnifying optic, he spotted Danny running frantically and fearfully, heading straight into the Decepticon Main Headquarter's entrance. He gave out loud roar, diving and flying straight to the ground. He transformed into his robot mode with Power Master Armor, punching and knocking both allied and enemy troops aside, chasing after the boy.

Rodimus, in his car mode, was driving and ramming most of the Decepticon and Quintesson Troopers. He also blasted his blasters at them as well. And at the same time, Sam and his team were searching and looking out for Danny. But so far, no sign of him. Wheelie and Brains, activated their binocular eyes-like, searching and scanning the area again until they found Danny was running straight to Decepticon Main Headquarter. And he was being chased by both Quintessa and Megatron from behind.

"Found him!" Wheelie shouted in concern while pointed ahead, "Bad news! He's got bad company!"

"Megatron and Quintessa are on his trail!" Brains exclaimed frantically.

"No!" Spike shouted in fear. He turned and looked at the car dashboard, "Rodimus, get us there now!"

"On it!" Rodimus shouted in agreement.

Throttled up his engine, Rodimus thrust and drove off straight to the Decepticon Main Headquarter. And at the same time, he was charging and ramming off most of both Decepticon and Quintesson Soldiers. He also blasted his mini guns at them as well. They have to reach the fortress, and also rescue Danny before Megatron and Quintessa could get him.

Receiving the reports from Rodimus that he's in persuade to rescue Danny and the Emberstone; Optimus Prime, in his truck mode, throttle up and started his engine, driving straight into the battlefield. He charged and rammed most of Decepticon and Quintesson Soldiers, while driving and heading straight to the Decepticon Main Headquarter.

Few meters away from the fortress, Optimus Prime encountered group of six Vehicon Troopers were firing their blasters at him. He quickly transformed into his robot mode with Power Master Armor. He jumped over while firing his blaster at them one-by-one before landed on the ground. He found more of enemy troops are charging and blocking his way. He activated his Wing Saber's boosters to charge up and blasted off. He began spinning and firing both large cannon and mini blasters at enemy forces from all directions. He then charged and thrust his blasters on the Vehicon Brutes, Balliffs and Beasticons. He then used his Knight Sword in cutting them down one-by-one.

On the way to the Decepticon Main Headquarter, he then encountered a group of Infernocuses, who are now standing in his way, firing their cannons and gatling blaster at him. The Prime used his Knight Shield to block and deflect the blasts for the moment. A group of Cybertronian Knights charged and engaged the Infernocon Combiners. Some of the knights transformed into their dragon modes to attack Infernocuses ferociously while others attacked the Infernocons head on.

Seeing an opportunity, Optimus Prime moved out before dodging and evading the blasts from the first Infernocus. He then slides down straight to the back of his enemy, barely dodging him stomping on him. As soon as he got up, he thrust his Knight Sword at the giant monstrous warrior's left side. When the Combiner tried to swing his left claw at him, he dodged by jumping on his back, where he struck his blade. He jumped again as he thrust his sword at the Infernocus's face, making him fall to the ground hard. This caused Infernocus to split into six Infernocons. They all turned and faced at Optimus Prime, who is armed with his Knight Sword, readied for the next fight.

"Stand aside and leave, Infernocons," Optimus Prime demanded firmly and determinedly, "I've only come for the boy."

Infernocons gave battle cry as they all charged straight at the Prime, who remained firm and still while glaring at them. At the moment they come very close to him, he swung his Knight Sword, decapitating their heads and killing them off.

"I've warned you," Optimus Prime said firmly. He turned his attention to the Decepticon Main Headquarter. He clenched his fists tightly, "Hold on, Danny. I'm coming!"

Lobby, Decepticon Main Headquarter, Badlands of South Dakota, U.S.A.,

After barely escape the fierce battlefield, Danny has entered the lobby of Decepticon Main Headquarter. He stopped for the moment as he was trying to catch a breath. While he was taking a break, he was unaware that Quintessa has teleported behind of him.

"You have something that belongs to me, human…" Quintessa said dryly, scaring Danny off. She approached him slowly and calmly while hissed threateningly, "You will return it to me now. Or else…"

Danny gasped in fear before dropped on the floor hard. He tried to back away from Quintessa as the Quintesson Witch slowly and calmly approached him. And just before she could get the Emberstone, the powerful blast sounded out loud, alerted her to turn back. She found the entrance was destroyed. The young Witwicky child took his chance and make the run for it.

To her shock and disbelief, Quintessa found Megatron angrily and fiercely entered the lobby. He gave the loudest battle cry. He loaded and armed with his Fusion Cannon at her. As he was charging up his cannon, he fired upon her. Unfortunately, she quickly teleported and escaped the battlefield at once.

Megatron growled angrily to find her escape. He looked up and found three to five lifts have closed. They're all began ascending to the top now.

Megatron snarled angrily, "You can run, boy! But you cannot hide from me!"

Megatron transformed into his demonically armored Cybertronian Jet. He blasted off to the sky, chasing after the lifts. Rodimus pounced into the lobby. Spike and his team emerged out from the car, allowing him to transform. They all looked around of their surroundings, searching for Danny.

Noticed something amiss on the lift, Brains approached to them. He attached his connective wire on lift's panel, checking and analyzing of what is happening. He gasped in shock and concern.

"Guys!" Brains called out, "Danny's heading to the top! The command center!"

Everyone gasped in shock. Carly shouted, "No! We have to save him!"

"We will get him," Megan said firmly. She turned to Wheelie, "Wheels, please tell me that one of them is usable."

"Sorry. All of them are being used!" Wheelie exclaimed in concern, "He must have used them for decoys! Megatron and Quintessa are onto them!"

Everyone was in shock and feared. Sam hissed, "We've gotta move it!"

"Agreed. I'm not losing him this time!" Spike said determinedly.

"We won't," Rodimus said seriously and firmly.

Rodimus transformed into his car mode, getting Spike and his team in. He drove off by using the stairs, driving all the way to the top.

Command Center, Decepticon Main Headquarter, Badlands of South Dakota, U.S.A.,

Dylan and his squadron of thugs and Headmaster Units were patrolling and guarding the Space Bridge Control Pillar. And at the same time, they were watching the monitor screen of the fierce battle.

Hearing the loud ringing noise, Dylan checked on his com-link. He asked, "Yeah?"

"Gould! The boy is heading to the Command Center! Capture him now!" Megatron's voice snapped angrily.

And just before Dylan could say anything, he heard the door was opened. He turned back as he found Danny just entered the command center before locked it up. The boy panted heavily while holding tight on the Emberstone Canister.

"Got it," Dylan said sinisterly and calmly before turning off the com-link. He turned his attention to Danny, "Hello, kid. Nice to see you again."

Danny gasped upon looking at him, "You!"

"Yup. So, let's try to be civil like last time." Dylan said calmly as he approached to Danny. He lowered himself down before him. He smiled while raising his right hand up, "Hand the Emberstone over. I'll make sure that you can go free."

Remembering what Dylan has done to him and his friends, Danny shook his head firmly while holding tight on Emberstone Canister. He denied, "No!"

Growing annoyed and impatient, Dylan growled, "Kid, I'm trying to be nice and saving your life! So, don't try to be stupid!"

"I'm not stupid! You are!" Danny exclaimed firmly, annoying Dylan further. He continued, "I won't give you the Seed! You're not a hero. You're a bad guy, who wants to rule the world and never care about everyone but yourself!"

Dylan snarled, "Why you little-!"

And just Dylan could jump and get the Emberstone, Quintessa reappeared before him. She unleashed her Witchcraft Beam, repelling and knocking Dylan and his thugs off. She turned and glared at Danny, who dropped on the floor hard.

Quintessa hissed hostility at scared Danny, "Give me the Emberstone now!"

Danny screamed in fear and agony while covering himself and Emberstone Canister tight. And just before Quintessa could do anything, she got her chest and limbs blasted by couple of bullets. A grenade was thrown straight at her. It ignited the explosion, throwing her off straight to the control panel.

Danny turned to the entrance, where he found Spike and his team arrived at the scene. He gasped happily, "Mom! Dad! Uncle Sam! Megan!"

"Danny!" Spike and his team shouted in relief.

Dylan grunted in pain, slowly getting up from the ground. He snarled, "Get that boy!"

Commanded by their boss, both thugs and Headmaster Units charged at Danny. Spike and his team charged straight at them. Spike and Sam engaged Dylan in a fierce brawl. Carly brought Danny close to her for keeping him safe. Larry and Megan used their machine guns in shooting at Headmaster Units while punching and kicking at couple of some thugs. Wheelie and Brains helped by firing their blasters, clawing and even biting on them. This allowed their friends to finish their enemy troops off.

Spike and Sam were punching and attacking Dylan, who fiercely and swift dodged the attacks before retaliated and knocked them out hard for couple of rounds. Both Witwicky Brothers were badly injured from fighting with him. Eventually, this gave him the chance to punch adult Witwikcy out, and then grabbed and slammed Sam down. He then tried to strangle the young adult till death. The older Witwicky recovered from the punch as he found his brother's being suffocating. He screamed in anger as he charged and rammed Dylan off. Both of them began a fierce fight with each other for couple of rounds. Eventually, the mad businessman took his knife to give some cuts on him including giving a scar on left side. And just before he could do anything, Sam threw a small rock at him off. He then helped his brother out, but got attacked by more thugs. Dylan recovered and joined the fight.

Quintessa grunted in pain, slowly getting up from her unconsciousness. She found Spike and his team were battling and pushing Dylan and his forces. She then found Carly was keeping and protecting Danny from harms. She teleported to the back of the woman. She fired her Dark Magic in blasting her off. She then grabbed and held on Danny's hand. Just before she could drag him out, Carly got up and slammed a large pole at her face. She then slammed it at him for couple of times. She then levitated her and thrown her straight at the walls hard. As Quintessa was about to grab Danny again, Megan screamed in anger as she charged and rammed the witch against the wall. She unleashed the barrage of punches and kicks at her. Unfortunately, Quintesson Witch was annoyed and furious as she grabbed and strangled Megan by neck. Wheelie and Brains jumped on her back, where they tried to pull her head hard, annoying and making her pain. Megan and Carly got up as they gave couple of punches on her.

Unfortunately, Quintessa unleashed powerful Devastator Shockwave in knocking not just Carly and Megan, but also the rest of their teams and Decepticon Accomplices. She turned her attention on Danny, whom she finally caught him and the Emberstone. Rodimus burst into the command center. He kicked her straight at the glass cased of Space Bridge Control Pillar. And just before he could do anything, a powerful energy beam of darkness blasted at Rodimus's feet, causing powerful explosion and repelling him and the rest of humans off. He got thrown at the glass cased hard. The energy beam also destroyed and created large hole of the command center's frontal view.

Everyone groaned and moaned painfully, slowly recovering and getting up. Rodimus groaned and moaned in pain as he found and felt his legs got taken out. They all then found Megatron was standing before the entrance.

As the Lord of Decepticons marched in, Spike and his team tried to get up and stop him. All of them got held down by Dylan and his thugs. Some of them aimed their blasters at both injured Rodimus and barely recovered Quintessa. Danny panicked and ran off at once but found more thugs and Headmaster Units blocked his way. He then ended up arriving at the edge of a large hole. He turned and found Megatron has cornered him. He is now trapped!

Megatron chuckled softly and calmly yet sinisterly, "Is it fear or courage that compel you, fleshling?"

Still holding tight on the Emberstone Canister, Danny quivered and shivered in fear as he was looking at the sight of Megatron's demonic face. Still holding by both thugs and Headmaster Units, Spike and his team struggled to move and get up, trying to reach and save Danny.

"Give me the Emberstone now, and you may live as my pet…" Megatron said calmly with a snarl, scaring Danny. He growled, "Or else…"

Feel threatened by Megatron's threats, Danny tried to move back a bit, but nearly trip and almost fell off from the edge. He managed to balance himself while facing at the Lord of Decepticons. He turned and looked at his family and friends, who looked worry and concern for him. Pressured by threats and fears for his family, he quivered and shivered while wondering and thinking of how he can save them.

"Give them the Emberstone, Danny!" Sam cried out, alerting Danny to look at him. Ashamed yet sad and worried, he continued sadly, "It's not worth it! Don't throw your life for the stupid Seed!"

Danny was in shock and disbelief by Sam's claim. However, he wasn't the only one as more of his family and friends also joined in pleading him to not risk his life for Emberstone.

"[Carly] Your uncle is right, Danny. Just give them the Emberstone. We'll be fine, son. Save yourself! [Megan] Danny, listen to your mother and uncle! [Larry] Son, don't be a hero! [Brains] Just give it to them, kid! [Wheelie] You don't stand a chance against Megatron! [Rodimus] Danny. I'm willing to give my life to save you! Don't do the same for us!"

Megatron smirked amusingly and pleasingly to see that Spike and his team are willing to make Danny to give up the Emberstone. Though Quintessa was amused and intrigued by the event, she's still trapped by her enemies. She then chanted calmly and darkly while her eyes glowed in dark greenish light like she's summoning some dark magic.

Danny turned and looked at his father. Spike shown firm and calm looks as he spoke, "It's okay, son. Everything will be fine. Do what is right. I'll be there for you, this time."

Touched by his father's words, Danny gave some thoughts of what is happening since the day he and others met and befriended the Autobots. Everyone has shown their courage, intelligence, and determination in the face of danger and engaging the enemies, no matter what. He wished he could be like them. In fact, he could be as he clenched his fists tightly.

Holding tight on the Emberstone Canister, Danny shown his determined and brave looks as he faced Megatron, "I'm not gonna give you the Seed! I won't!"

"Danny?!" Spike and his team exclaimed in shock yet surprised and amazed by Danny's bravery.

"Oh… So unwise…" Megatron remarked amusingly while shaking his head. Charing up his Power Master Armor's Fusion Cannon, he growled while aiming it at frightened Danny, "Such heroic nonsense…"

Spike and his team are alerted of Megatron's attempts. Struggled to get up and pushed the thugs aside, they're trying to reach and get Danny. Eventually, Sam managed to push and ram Dylan and his two Headmaster Units on five thugs, freeing Spike from the grip. The older Witwicky ran straight at Danny.

Just as Megatron blasted his Fusion Cannon at the floor, it created some crack lines straight to the edge of large hole. It broke apart and tumbled down, making Danny to trip and fell into it. Spike jumped and dived straight at his son. And just in time, he managed to get a hold on his son.

"Dad!" Danny exclaimed in surprise.

Spike grunted while holding his son in his embrace, "Danny, hang on! I won't let you go!"

Spike and Danny screamed in fear and agony as they both are falling the top of Decepticon Main Headqarter's command center. Sam and his team were in shock and disbelief of what they saw. They all cried in agony, anger and despair to see Spike and Danny fell.

Just as Spike and Danny thought they're meeting their end, they landed on a gentle metallic palm. They were surprised and shocked that they survived. They then looked up and found Optimus Prime is the responsible of catching them in time.

"I've got you," Optimus Prime said firmly yet gently. Both Spike and Danny sighed in relief to see him. He held them close against his chest, "Hold onto the Seed! We're going down!"

Activated his Wing Saber's jet booster, Optimus Prime began descending to the ground while holding on Spike and Danny. Unfortunately, Megatron spotted them escaping. The Lord of Decepticons gave the loud battle cry. He activated his Tidal Wave's flight mode, he dived down and chased after his nemesis and the relic. Close to his target, he charged and attacked him at once. Holding on the father and his son, Optimus Prime used his right hand to block and punch back at Megatron, who fiercely fought back against him.

Alerted by Optimus Prime's got both Spike and Danny, Rodimus transformed into his damaged Lamborghini Car Mode. Throttling up his engine, he charged and rammed most of the thugs and even Headmaster Units. He managed to get Sam and his team in. He then charged straight out of the hole. He dived down as well. He then rammed and knocked both Megatron and Optimus Prime straight down and made the impact on the ground hard.

Though confuse and uncertain of why Rodimus took the risk, Dylan heard some loud beeping noise. He turned back and found couple of detonators were placed around the Space Bridge Control Pillar Reactor. He even saw Quintessa slyly smirked and teleported out at once. He panicked as he took the Headmaster Unit suit for him to wear and use.

Dylan ran straight to the hole, where he jumped into it at once. The detonators ignited and exploded, destroying it into pieces and even killing the rest of his thugs and Headmaster Units. And at the same time, Space Bridge Control Pillar was thrown off from the destruction site of command center. It was falling and descending straight to the large rock, damaging it hard. This caused the portal deactivated and dispersed, leaving the half of Planet Cybertron standing still.

Optimus Prime, Megatron, Rodimus and the rest of Human Allies groaned and moaned painfully and agony. They're all slowly recovering from the big impact on the ground.

Quintessa reappeared before them. She then noticed the damaged form of Dreadnaught. She smirked amusingly as she approached to him. She summoned and attached the wires on the dead Combiner. She is now merging together with the corpse, turning her into something scarier and ferocious.

The Velocitronian Autobot opened the door, allowing Sam and his friends. He then transformed into his robot mode, catching a breath and resting as well. Sam and his friends approached to Optimus Prime. The leader of the Autobots released his grip, letting Spike and Danny out. Sam and his friends approached and giving them a warm hug, seeing them alive.

"Danny…" Optimus Prime called. Spike and his team turned and looked at him. He asked in surprise, "You risked your life to protect the Emberstone?"

"Why? Why would you do that?" Carly asked frantically while crying as she hugged her son.

"No sacrifice. No victory," Danny answered firmly, shocking and surprising his family and friends.

"Daniel…" Spike said tearfully yet proudly. He gave a pat on his son's head, "My son…"

"Spoken like a Witwicky Family, kiddo," Sam commented.

"Thank you for what you have done. But…" Optimus Prime said calmly yet sadly. He sighed while looking at his chest, "If I cannot defeat Megatron and Quintessa, you must push the Emberstone into my chest. I will sacrifice myself to destroy it."

"B-But that will kill you," Sam said in concern.

Megan nodded fearfully, "You need that Seed to save your home and people. You can't destroy it."

Danny cried tearfully, "Prime, you can't die."

Optimus Prime gave his sad looks, "Do not grieve, Danny. It's the only way to save yours and my world." He sighed, "I am truly honored to come to this planet. It is truly majestic and beautiful world, reminding me of my home. I truly wish that we could have met earlier and start our friendship."

"Prime…" Rodimus said in surprise tone.

Clenching his fists tightly, Optimus Prime sighed, "Get behind me. Rodimus, protect them at all cost! Megatron and Quintessa must be stopped. No matter the cost."

As commanded, Spike and his team quickly moved and hid behind of Rodimus. The Throttlebot armed himself with blasters to defend them. Optimus Prime grunted in pain, slowly recovering and standing up on his feet. He armed himself with large cannon, blasters and even his Knight Sword and Shield for battle. He turned and looked at his Minicon Partner on his left shoulder pad.

"Are you ready?" Optimus Prime asked.

Sparkplug flashed out his lights, "Ready as I'll ever be, sir."

Optimus Prime nodded as he turned and glared at his enemies. Megatron managed to recover and stand up, still using and arming with Power Master Armor, standing by and readying for another fight. After merging with the corpse of Dread Combiner, Quintessa became a large demonically Titan with tentacles on bottom, large hands with blasters and cannons and has the large demonic wings on her back. Both of them were ready for the next fight.

Activated his Matrix of Leadership's power, Optimus Prime glowed brightly in glowing blue colored light. He narrowed his firm and determined eyes, "It is time to end this. One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall."

"I couldn't agree more…" Megatron agreed firmly, activating his Matrix of Chaos. He glowed darkly in the glowing of purplish-blackish colored mist. He snarled with his sinister laughter, "I will be victorious!"

"Not while I'm still standing!" Quintessa said firmly.

Giving out their loudest battle cries, the leaders of three factions fiercely and determinedly charged straight at each other. Optimus Prime, Megatron and Quintessa began their final battle with each other.

Lion: Transformers!

Autobots, Decepticons and Quintessons continued relentlessly and fiercely war against each other. Who will be victorious?!
