Chapter 13: Worlds Colliding…
LOCATION: ABOARD THE AUTOBOT SPACESHIP
Somewhere in the air, the Autobot Spaceship was flying over the clouds on an approach towards the cable lines of Cybertron's planet crust on the Earth. Many military jets flew along with the alien ship to act as support. While inside, everyone was getting comfortable in being given the heads-up about what's been going on recently while a few military personal gear-up before battle. The RainBooms got to meet an Autobot with a body form of a 2017 Lamborghini Centenario LP770-4; goes by the name of Hot Rod...who speaks with a thick French accent.
"Wow, so you're an Autobot with a French Accent?" Pinkie Pie commented about Hot Rod being an Autobot with a French accent.
"No-no, I hate the accent. But I can't help it…I'm stuck with it!" Hot Rod issued off to protest about his accent was something he can't get rid of & it bothers him.
"So lets see if I get this straight, you guys were HUNTING the Autobots? Not cool." Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow in questioning what the military, even Shadow Dragon's own military unit, did while they were left I nthe dark.
"The other military diversion was responsible for that, Azure Phoenix tried to keep us out of it as possible." Shadow Dragon stated in wanting to not get the subject too confused much to everyone's puzzling suspicion.
"So then, who was it that rescued you all?" Fluttershy asked in liking to hear this question now.
"Allow me to make with the introductions." Armor Stark spoke up to have the others turn to face him.
That's when three new faces were seen coming into the area to meet up with the RainBooms who were responsible in helping Shadow Dragon's small unit rescue their captive members from Nezha.
The 1st was someone who shows a reminiscent of a noble, high-class man. A youthful gentleman of deep purple skin & exhibits off the backside, bat-wings, white-gray markings across his body, tan dark blonde short hair that flows wildly, & has red eyes along with sharp teeth (& with fangs like a real vampire). He wears a light-violet purple nobleman suit with white ankle & wrist cuffs, gray-brown shoes with yellow laces, a purple cape with a red coloring on the inside. He wears an emblem around the neck that looks almost like a lunar moon symbol, but it is of a darken appearance to symbolize someone's theme befitting of a creature of the night. Just his appearance alone from the shadows made him seem like a Vampire!
The 2nd was someone of a young man with grey-silver skin body, dull indigo mane that flows out that looks like a wave, & dark emerald color eyes. Around his body are some painted marks that are tan gold color in the form of stripes, & on his hands & his mouth. He wears a white full-body swim-suit with yellow zippers for convenient use of pocketing stuff. There are emblems on the top layers of the feet & on the hands which shows a symbol of a circle with dark blue lines outside & light blue inside, & dark blue in a form of some water lily. From his appearance alone, some would say he is beautiful, & the marks on his body, hair seem to give off how he appears like a surfer in a protective wet-suit.
The 3rd & final one was a tall, very strong & tough looking man who's appearance is almost lion-like. He has orange color skin, almost long hair that's mostly golden/bronze coloring mix of light & dark, & clear light blue eyes that show an honest to goodness within his soul. He wears on a red chest body armor, dark gray waist with plates, & wears silver gray greaves & gaunlets with yellow gems in the knee & top wrist areas. On his shoulders & around his belt are emblems showing a symbol that looks like the sun, but of a different nature on appearance, like almost wheel-like. This one appears to be the most strongest while also upholding…a sense of justice from his character.
"This here is Apollo, followed by NeoVamde & Splash. They're a separate unit I brought in thinking they handle around certain fields of their specialty. Trust me, either one of them are as skilled enough to even fight Shadow Dragon to be on pair, or be his better equal." Armor Stark explained who these guys were, & that they are a pretty tough bunch to be recognized.
"Hmph, so you say Stark?" Shadow Dragon huffs a bit from having heard someone mention that.
"When Armor Stark receive word of those that were in pursuit of a villain named Nezha Ventigo where they have not return for some time, I took it upon myself to help." Apollo proclaimed this as a man of justifiably means to help aid those in trouble.
"I sense the vampire known as Terrorcreep, being the same but with a different area…for I am the Lord Of Vampires." NeoVamde issued off to explain a case which surprised many to hear.
"Lord of Vampires, so then…there are other vampires besides Terrorcreep?" Fluttershy gasped a bit in never knowing, that vampires even had a lord.
"Probably best to save such things, until AFTER saving the world." Armor Stark cuts in that such topics are best saved for after the world isn't ending as they speak.
"Indeed, never in one's wild imagination would such things bring friends & foes of humanity together. It is quite a beautiful sight." Splash smiled off to comment the matter on the beauty of such things coming to paste.
"Well I feel better without Cobra being involved, their commander tried to brain wash Twilight into taking the magic during the Friendship Games." Ben remotely stated in sounding upset that even those from Cobra, that had a role in the Friendship Games, had to help out.
"Right now Cobra suffered a bit & is working with us, it's hard to imagine, I know…but as long as they don't shoot us in the back with our world endanger, we'll leave the snakes alone." Armor Stark explained the case that so long as the old terrorist don't strike them in the back, they will tolerate working together…for now.
"I just hope things will work out that way…I don't know why, but I'm suddenly not too big a fan on snakes? I might just freak out if I saw one." Twilight stated to say in having some concern thoughts about being near snakes.
"It's true, once he saw a snake picture & fell off her chair when studying biology on native animals." Nyx shrug off to lightly comment about Twilight's sudden worries of snakes got her pretty shaken-up: pretty much that got everyone to laugh a little bit to brighten the mood a bit.
"So…Who or what is that?" Spike asked as he & Phobos approach to meet up with Sqweeks.
"I don't know, but he kinda reminds me of R2-D2 from those Star Wars franchise." Phobos raised an eyebrow in how he sees this Transformer as something seen in a movie franchise.
"Chihuahua?" Sqweeks responded off to say.
"Uh, we're not Chihuahuas." Phobos raised an eyebrow in thinking this bot must thing they are tiny dogs.
"Sorry about Sqweeks. That's all he can say." Izabella came up to explain things about her robotic friend.
"He looks almost like a scooter. So Can he turn into transform into one or something?" Spike raised an eyebrow in studying Sqweek's basic features to ponder; if his vehicle mode was a scooter.
"That's the thing. He can't transform….he lost his arm way-back." Izabella pointed off to mention this fact.
"So can I ask, why you're not freaked out by a couple of talking dogs?" Phobos raised an eyebrow to ask a question that just dawn to him.
"I've seen weird things before. Trust me." Izabella shrug off the shoulders to simply state that after everything she's seen & lived through; talking dogs ain't much a surprise.
"Well, I'm Spike, & this is Phobos." Spike happily introduced themselves to the new girl.
"Hey there. So you're that Izabella kid I heard about?" Smokescreen spoke to Izabella as he entered where they were hanging out.
"Who wants to know?" Izabella rolled her eyes in showing that tom-boy attitude of hers.
"Easy there, I'm Smokescreen. This may sound strange, but…I knew about the bot you were with, Canopy." Smokescreen held up his hands to calm the kid down to explain…he was a friend to a bot she knew.
"I see, so…you heard that he died?" Izabella looked away in showing a little sadness in thinking about her decease Autobot friend.
"Just recently about a day or 2. I know what's it's like to lose a friend. Especially one that protected you." Smokescreen commented off to make a little discussion that cheered the girl up in hearing her old friend Canopy again from a bot that knew him.
Right now just across the room, we see the Knights Of Iacon stood across from the ship's deck, being quite intimidating of ancient & powerful knight warriors of Cybertron.
"Very mean looking." Drift commented this as he sheath his katana while near Hound, Prowl & Hot Rod.
"Oh, they look like wusses to me." Hound commented off in what he thought of those Transformers, what's so scary about ancient knights wielding basic melee weapons then using long-range guns he like to blast stuff.
"No, they all messed up." Bumblebee approach his old group to state this, but he used his radio voice to comment this then his real one.
"Well now, times have changed, to us…we seem different from when they came online?" Prowl explained how they must seem as 'ugly' to the oldest Transformers of how much their species has change over the centuries.
William was reminding the troops they have 2 minutes to get ready. Izabella asked some TRF soldiers about their weapons if it can kill Decepticons, with one saying 'no' to respond 'we do.' As it's the one using the weapon, not the weapon it's self. Viviane commented towards Cade Yeager about the phrase: 'A few brave warriors willing to sacrifice all.' was something she said to her students as nonsense…in the past which was hard to believe. William gave the order to have everyone start moving now…
"So…What are you doing tomorrow." Cade stopped Viviane from leaving him to…ask a personal question.
"Wait? You asking me that now?" Viviane asked in not believing the timing to ask such a thing during a big battle.
"Yeah, I am." Cade replied off in stating it's so. "No plans? Good." He replied off in thinking that was good to know.
"Get in the plane." Viviane shift her head to tell the guy to get moving. "I told my students that was baloney." Viviane commented this towards Cade about how she believed such phrases were nonsense.
Soon many military soldiers were getting into the osprey planes, they had to strap in knowing it'll be a rough ride. Many even were using a breathing mask considering they are on high altitude which meant little air was available. Then Cade asked Viviane to borrow her cell phone to text his daughter with the words saying 'Look up in the sky, I'm there for you.' with smile face emoji's.
"Alright people lets get a move on, Joes go in one osprey with the RainBooms, Ex-Cobra in the other, Forgers in another, & anyone else take your picks. Lets go, world's not gonna save it's self." Armor Stark was giving the orders out as everyone had to quickly get moving here.
Soon the military jets went off ahead of the Autobot Spaceship, arriving around the air-space of the target that was in sight; the Ignition Chamber. As the military planes were preparing to aid in air support, they got attacked by ground cannons. Soon Decepticon space fighters flew off from the chamber to begin attacking.
"Bee, get to your ship. Good luck." Drift was seen near the osprey planes to inform Bumblebee of where he needs to go while wishing the bot…the best of luck.
"Yo Breakaway, you coming?" Smokescreen ran near his bot buddy to ask this question as he was heading for his own ship too.
"Don't worry, you forget…I can transform into a plane. I'll be fine." Breakaway issued off that he's got himself cover.
"30 seconds to drop. Those birds better be softening our target." William inform his platoon this while hoping the jet planes take out the enemy fliers.
"You're not giving me that warm, fuzzy felling, Lennox." Cade commented off about how the guy was speaking, the words just carry more seriousness about trouble ahead.
"The osprey's flight ceiling is 12,000 feet. We're double that. The air's too thin, the rotor's got no grab. We're gonna be coming in hard." William explained that from the difference of 21,000 feet, the aircrafts they are riding will have a harder time handling the altitude.
"It's all bad news." Cade commented on how that sounded like really bad stuff.
"Oh, yeah." William replied off to agree.
"All good, Yeager?" At this moment, Santos spoke towards Cade while he was using an air mask to help his breathing. "You got something to say?" He asked off in knowing what the guy wants to say to them.
"You & your guys never stopped hunting me." Cade remotely stated in knowing what the TRF were doing to find him as a fugitive for aiding Autobots.
"Orders. You were with them." Santos responded off in simply stating how things went & who was on which side.
"With them? I believed in one of the great ones. Optimus Prime. And his crew." Cade issued off to respond to while having to explain this stuff. "I never lost faith. You did. The whole world did. Now you want to fly with me." He stated how he still sided with the Autobots in believing in them when the world turn it's back to the good guys, & now…the hunters are aiding the once hunted prey. "Well, I appreciate you guys making the trip. Thank you." The stated off to say with a rhetorical sense before using the breathing mask again.
At that time, many of those that were apart of TRF took Cade's words to heart; & that trigger something. Santos ripped off his TRF patch from his shoulder uniform to toss it down.
"Get that staff, we all go home." Santos issued off to say this as many of the other TRF members felt encourage to follow the example; rip off the TRF patches because...they now believe in who are the good Transformers out of the bad ones. Santos pounded his chest to say this to Cade out a form of respect. Suddenly, William got a call to hold as their strike fighters getting shot down.
"Oh. No, it's now or never. Pilots, go now! Go!" William gave the word to have all pilots in the osprey to go right away.
"Hang on!" A girl's voice was heard before a compartment opened up to reveal…Izabella!?
"Chihuahua." Sqweeks was heard in seen under some covers with Izabella.
"What are you doing here?" Cade asked in what the girl was doing here when they are about to take off.
"I-I-I don't know." Izabella responded off puzzled in not sure why she was here when it's about to get dangerous. "But you said we were family." She exclaimed in what Cade said to her about what it meant to be a family.
"No, I didn't mean…" Cade tried to explain about what he meant to Izabella, but pushed the thought aside. "We got to get her off here now." Cade inform
"It was probably a bad idea." Izabella sheepishly shrug off her shoulders in realizing, talking about the subject on a moving plane…not the best move.
Soon outside the Autobot Spaceship, we spot some Transformer figures on the top backside of the loading deck; as six osprey began to leap out one by one to descend.
"Whoo-hoo!" Hound cheered off as he & a few Autobots flew on the mini-flight vehicles on down.
Then without warning, the Knights Of Iacon began to respond strangely to….transform….no, they were COMBINING!? Soon as they were done, a loud snarling screech was heard of a beastly cry, as what was seen taking flight was a three-headed metallic Transformer Dragon!
"Wow, they really became a giant metal dragon?" Pinkamena leans out of her seat without her seatbelt on to watch what happened while in the osprey.
"Sis! Don't stand up when we're in a plane that can't handle the altitude WITHOUT WEARING A SEATBELT!" Goldie scolded to lecture his sister on how randomly irresponsible she was behaving now.
"HANG ON!" William yelled out from within the osprey to the rest.
"Chihuahua./It's okay. It's okay." Sqweeks was yelping a bit while Izabella tried to calm herself & her small bot friend.
The six osprey had to carefully descended forward while watching out for the planet's cables as the Cybertronian Dragon flew around them. The jet fighters had to move fast to keep the enemy away from the osprey.
"Bogeys Dead Ahead!" Hound yelled off as he took out his Gatling Gun to start shooting off without warning.
"Time to make some noise!" Smokescreen issued off in seeing what time it was: battle time.
Soon it became a battle zone in the sky between the Decepticons & the Autobots, with the latters blasting down a few small fighter rides. While that went on, the osprey had to control where it spread out as they were moving & descending fast while avoiding moving chunks connected to Cybertron. Cade & the others yelped from the shaking, William hopped the fighters to distract the enemy ships. Few jet fighters flew around the sky zone with an enemy tailing them, but got blasted afterwards. Then three more enemies came around, & shot at 1 osprey to damage it's propellers to catch on fire.
"Sir, bird 3 just went down!" Ripcord issued off in seeing an osprey go down with him & Tunnel Rat flying their plane to observe the action.
"Don't worry, that one had the Forgers with the Skells, watch…" Armor Stark's voice was on the com-link to calm the worries of others about a plane going down.
Suddenly coming out of the Osprey 3, were to the RainBooms & the rest of the military units, giant size robots the size of Transformers that flew out. Their numbers exceeded over almost a dozen or so, these were the Forgers piloting different model Skells base on their performances & abilities.
"Wow….now THAT'S Awesome!" Rainbow Dash was in awe at what she saw.
"Told you." Armor Stark's voice commented in seeing there was no casualties, thanks to what he planned ahead.
The next moment shows the Transformer Dragon flying around, screeching while blasting it's flames to destroy the fleeing enemy crafts. For now, the rest of the remaining osprey had to fly around to avoid any large planetary cables or drifting chunks of metal land mass from colliding on them. Wasn't long before spotting their landing zone ahead, then William ordered to take out the big gun. Suddenly without warning, the descending osprey bash against some terrain, causing a lost of turbulence.
"What happened?" Duke asked off to the pilots from the shaking of the plane.
"Duke, we just lost Engine one?" Tunnel Rat issued about what's happening with one of their engines.
"And Engine Two is no longer on fire?" Ripcord issued about another problem of losing another engine.
"Are you saying what I think your saying?" Heavy Duty raised an eyebrow in coming over to overhear the news; they lost BOTH osprey engines.
"Attention passengers, we'll be landing shortly. The only thing is…" Pinkie Pie popped between the pilot's door & those strap in to speak like a captain announcing to the passengers of their landing, however… "We're Crash Landing." She cut to the chase with a simple & without hesitated point on what'll happen.
"WHAT!?" The RainBooms screamed out in shock, did Pinkie Pie just say…
"Smooth?" Scarlet rolled her eyes in seeing that went well…in a sarcastic case.
"Hold on, we're going down!" William yelled off in what was about to happen next.
"Whatever you do, don't slide off the edge!" Lady Jaye issued off in what they cannot afford to occur on such a high altitude area.
Soon many osprey were making emergency crash landings. It was almost a nightmare seeing a few planes crash down, some caught on fire as they skid across the metal surface. ?
"Brace for impact!" Duke yelled off in seeing they are gonna crash.
Everyone in Cade's group brace themselves when the osprey they rode crashed onto the ground surface, dirt came flying in before they tip a bit. Then many soldiers yelped as they were under enemy cannon fire. Many got out & some grabbed a buddy. As they were getting out, it was almost like a war-zone to take cover when under fire from an enemy base. The brave Ex-TFR, Joes & some Ex-Cobra members tried to fire at any attackers, but duck down when enemy fighters came flying overhead of them with a lot of explosions going off. So much loud 'booms' & machine gun noises, it was hard to hear when those in command gave orders for the troops to move. Cade patted Izabella to stay safe as she agreed before the soldiers got lock & loaded to use the smoke as cover to move out.
"Sheesh, if this is what World War III is like, I'm hoping we never have it!?" Phobos rolled his eyes in watching all the stuff go off without warning.
"Me too! This place isn't safe for dogs to run around care free." Spike exclaimed to say while yelping when an explosion of dirt came flying at them.
"I also agree…woah!" Adult Nyx slightly yelped to shield herself from more falling dirt.
"Nyx, I need you & the dogs to stay here." Twilight turn to give Nyx careful instructions to stay put.
"Why? I'm older now?" Adult Nyx raised an eyebrow in thinking Twilight still treats her like a kid when she's magically got a grow-up teen body.
"I think she wants you to make sure they don't get into trouble." Ben pointed off about the dogs always sticking their noises into dangerous situations.
"Aww…" Adult Nyx, Spike & Phobos moans a bit, just their luck.
Ahead of our brave heroes was the Ignition Chamber, but there were others exiting to prepare to greet them. It was lead by Megatron, his remaining Decepticons & with the Infernocons. They began to split off while Megatron fired his cannon blaster & soon don on his mouth guard. Many soldiers from Ex-TRF, Ex-Cobra & Joes were taking cover behind what was ahead as they ran while yelping from exploding attacks that knock many around. Cade tried to lead Viviane with him to quickly try to get ahead while avoiding any attacks. William station near other troops as they tried to attack.
"That gun emplacement is tearing us apart!" William yelled off in notifying that with the enemy's main gun in place, the ground troop can't get close.
"Why didn't we have those Skell things with us to provide backup?" Rarity asked this manner of having more backup here.
"They got their hands full aidin' other Decepticon troubles." Applejack pointed off in knowing there's a lot of flies to still swat.
There was much firing & much explosion as many of the human units were making their way to reach a closer spot…to their prime target. Many of the Skells were flying or transforming to vehicle modes to race around other Decepticon terrors in aiding the Autobots to keep as many away from the humans as possible.
"There's the Ignition Chamber, dead ahead!" William issued off to say as he had everyone with him, spread out to take cover as they saw it…the main enemy base of operations. Pretty much it had Decepticons & Infernocons acting as guards to keep anyone from entering.
"Bad news, air cover is unable to get here. They aren't coming?" Shorty stated the bad news in receiving radio word of their air support.
"Seriously!? We're getting hammered & everybody's too busy?" Laxtinct raised an eyebrow in thinking this was just crazy.
"You wanna switch & learn how hard it is to approach those main guns?" Aqua remarked off if the guy wants to try living it up the other way.
"She's got you there." Blazefist made a sly smile in seeing Lax should have known better.
But at the same time, the Autobots were having a near field-date in taking out their own targets in the air.
"Whoo-hoo!" Hound cheered like he was having a blast here. "Let's ride, Bee!" He patted Bumblebee's shoulder to continue to ride on.
"Let's kick butt!" Hot Rod issued off as he flew up from the rear of the others; ready to take action now.
"Come & get some, Cons!" Breakaway remarked off as he was firing off missiles & bullet barrages against enemy fliers.
Now the Autobots were taking out enemy fighters to send them crashing down, as the ground units yelp from the exploding contact of fallen foes.
"Why do we find ourselves in these other kinds of situations?" Fluttershy covered her head from more raining dirt while questioning their situations of odd dangerous encounters.
"Bets me too? How are we always in war battle themes?" Pinkie Pie shrug off to simply state that such a thing is a mystery.
"Hey, can we try to focus here?" Ben exclaimed to have everyone's focus on the occurring battlefield.
"Looks like our supporters gave us an opening William." Duke notified to his military friend on the open window they got to move further in.
"You're right Duke. Come on! Push right to the crater! Let's go!" William yelled out the orders on where to head off to next.
Everyone began to head off while keeping low from the enemy's main gun firing on them while they tried to attack back. Wasn't long before the Autobots decided to drop in from above.
"Pinned down with the Hound!" Hound dropped off from his aircraft ride to unleash his gatling gun while the military bunch fired off guns & bazookas.
"Keep protecting the humans as much as possible!" Prowl issued off to say while throwing off his spinning shuriken blades that knock a few Decepticon cruiser ships off.
"Is it me, or does it look like while there are a lot of Autobots fighting, we seem one short?" Armor Stark landed near where the other military units are to question something…off?
"No way. Where's Optimus?" Cade approach William to notice Optimus Prime wasn't seen with the others, why is that?
"They said he never made it." William yelled this over to Cade about what the report said from their emergency landing. "We got the big gun on us!" While he said all this about the enemy's main weapon, Viviane helped Izabella use a breathing mask if for the low air altitude up here.
"Duke! We're pinned down!" Heavy Duty stated as he was firing more gun shots off.
"We're trapped like rats!" Tunnel Rat exclaimed in what was happening with them.
"Speak for yourself, Tunnel Rat?" Ripcord remarked off in not about to feel like a rat who was trapped.
"Negative to target. Unable to advance." William issued this off into the walky-talky in reporting their position.
"Ow! My Shin!?" Hound yelped from getting a shot in the knee, as he kneel down; Izabella was nearby to hear what Cade & William talked about before…splitting off.
"Get back here, Izzy!" Cade yelled off in seeing the kid run off somewhere.
"I'll be right back!" Izabella yelled off to say this much & nothing more.
"Hound, you alright?" Heavy Duty called out in seeing how the big bot was doing.
"It's just a cluster effin' thingamabob!" Hound remarked off about his condition while firing off more Gatling machine gun action at his targets.
"Does anyone even know what he just said?" Goldie raised an eyebrow in not following what he heard.
"Silly, he said a thingamabob." Pinkamena repeated off to mention what Hound said earlier.
"Of course that's how you say it?" Sunset rolled her eyes in seeing that's how a random girl like Pinkamena does things like Pinkie Pie.
At this moment, Izabella was studying the situation to turn to Sqweeks who was hiding to notice his friend spotted him.
"Sqweeks! Hey, hey…" Izabella yelled off as she skid down the dirt ditch where they took cover as she approach the bot. "Look, I need you to blow that gun up!" She calmly was asking this to point off near the enemy's off-mounted spot, a main gun was firing at all targets approaching the chamber: Sqweeks shook with a nervous feeling about this plan. "You're small & you're ugly. No one's gonna see you coming." She issued this off to try to encourage the bot while ducking down from flying dirt that was done by another explosion. "Blow it up!" She yelled at the bot to just do it.
Everyone was still focused on blasting at the chamber's attackers & defense. Megatron & his army were slowly making their way towards the enemy that was invading.
"Infernocus, Transform. Kill them!" Megatron spoke forth as if announcing this to the Infernocons.
Suddenly, Skulk followed by others by the names of Rupture, Thrash, Gorge & Glug were seen coming together, & transforming to combine themselves…into a giant Transformer by the name: Infernocus. It let off a loud battle cry, as it took aim of it's arm mounted blasters at the humans.
"Woah, what the heck is that thing?" Smokescreen yelps in what just appeared
"Apparently, a Combiner Transformer? The number of Transformers increase the strength & power of such an opponent." Prowl explained the case of a Combiner Transformer is their opponent, this won't be easy now.
"I don't have enough ammo for that thing." Hound soon cease fire when he saw Infernocus, knowing his ammunition was low & he needed more to take down that giant.
"I got him." Hot Rod issued off as he & Bumblebee rode their sky-cycle planes to approach the big target.
Infernocus was blasting before it got hit from the back head as Hot Rod & Bumblebee flew pass him. The enemy snarled before blasting back at the Autobots, hitting Bumblebee's ride to spin off to collide against Hot Rod's ride. The military groups duck as the 2 Autobot's rides came crashing on the ground, causing Hot Rod & Bumblebee to topple across from their crash course. At this time, Sqweeks was slipping pass to hid behind a device.
"Bee & Hot Rod are down! Autobots down!" Hound issued off in what was happening to their Autobot units. "Where's Prime?" Hound yelled off as he screaming for a miracle while Bumblebee got up to start firing back on the ground.
"I don't know, but we have to keep going!" Breakaway issued off to say as all they can do is continue to push ahead.
"JARVIS, where's our support squad?" Armor Stark asked his AI to tell him where their backups are.
"Sir, the Forgers are almost finished taking down the last enemy fliers." JARVIS reported the situation, which was still not too pleasant.
"Well tell then to pick up the paste." Armor Stark exclaimed off to say while blasting more Repulsor Beams at another Decepticon that tried to sneak up to him.
"Lennox Team, we're pulling you out. Mission's over. Laze targets for incoming strike fighters. Then I'm ordering you to bail." Suddenly on William's radio device, inform him about a change in the plan.
"Roger that. Picture's up." Santos responded as he was using a screen device to reveal a different structure cables of Cybertron's landmass. "I see it, I see it." He stated in where the strike fighters will shot that support to cause a chain reaction. "We got a new target! 3 O'Clock high!" He yelled this off to point above their head of where the new target was.
"Laze the new target for incoming birds. They're gonna bring that whole thing down on us." William gave the order to the troops in what was about to happen next.
"Wait, are you saying…you wanna bring an entire continent attach to cables down near us?" Sunset raised an eyebrow in thinking that has got to be the craziest thing to do.
"Apparently we just got word, they think instead of putting the faith of the planet in fairy tales of having one woman who can touch the staff to remove it from draining our world. They think they can stop the energy transfer by knocking out the Ignition Chamber."
"I suppose that would be something global HQ would think up that makes the rational sense?" Duke shook the head in regret that orders from the top, are to be done without question while focusing on saving many soldier lives as possible.
"Hey you guys! We're not giving up on Prime, okay? He's gonna be here." Cade approach William to reassure him about not calling it quits to change the plan now.
"Cade, they just changed the whole plan. We can't get inside." William firmly explained what HQ told them about the plan being changed from helping get Viviane inside the chamber.
"What?" Viviane snapped off in having heard this right.
"The operation is over." William regretfully stated how things are when performing a risky operation either gets changed or terminated within the military line of duty. "We stay, we're dead." He firmly pointed out that if they stay when HQ brings that thing down, it's over for all of them. "Everybody, grab your chutes, we're bailing!" He gave the next order to the troops here that they gotta bail out.
"He's not serious, right?" Phobos raised an eyebrow in what was happening.
"I think he is?" Spike stated in how that was a serious expression they saw.
At this moment, Sqweeks was seen having slipped pass the enemy frontlines due to his small size. He approach the main guns before one of them small guns targeted the small bot.
"…You." Sqweeks responded off to use his new Decepticon arm to change into a blaster, & shot at the small gun.
The force of the blast was a lot that pushed Sqweeks off, but it not only destroyed the little gun, it cause a chain-reaction to destroy the chamber's main gun cannons to explode. From above, the jet fighters notiuced that the main guns were taken out, now they can provide a better fight for the ground units. Sqweeks rolled around on the ground from the aftershock.
"Good job, little friend." Hot Rod rolled across the field to take a shot at a target while commenting on Sqweek's brave action to turn the tide.
"Looks like that stopped one problem." Duke commented in seeing with the main gun gone, their fliers won't have much trouble now.
"Laze the target!" William issued off this next order of their given opportunity.
"Move, move, move!" Heavy Duty issued off as everyone was quickly moving forward ahead.
"Let's move out! We got you covered! Move!" Hound issued forth as he & the other Autobots were firing against the Decepticons to keep them occupied & not pay any attention to the small human units.
"Twilight, there's no way we're leaving the Autobots high & dry, right?" Rainbow Dash complained that she doesn't like the idea of leaving friends behind.
"No, they helped us, so it's only fair we do the same." Twilight sternly stated that they must help out then runaway.
"I'll help too, please Twilight. You're going to need all the help here." Adult Nyx asked that she be included & not hang back.
"No point arguing, lets get going." Ben stated that it's best not to argue, & just all go together.
With the RainBooms having decided to stick with the Autobots to the end, they rushed forth into the battle. There was a lot of blasting & explosions, smoke was covering everything as the war zone continued.
"Optimus." Izabella spoke out the Autobot Leader's name as she looked ahead, & climb up to see the Transformer Dragon roared down with…someone on top of it. "Yeah!" She raised her arms to cheer in knowing who has finally arrived on the scene.
It was Optimus Prime, as he leaped off the Three-headed Metal Dragon to skid across the ground. Infernocus was firing it's weapons at the incoming metal dragon, but it dove underneath to throw the giant Transformer off balance. The enemy tried to blast Optimus Prime in seeing his skidding approach, but the Autobot Leader dodge an enemy stomp to plunge his sword into Infernocus' chest. The Infernocon tried to get Optimus, but he climb his back to stab the foe from the back to his chest, as it let off snarling wails.
"You ugly mess!" Optimus Prime remarked off to the foe after stabbing his sword through this difficult enemy's forehead; it's hard for it to die.
Then at that moment when Optimus leaped off the foe, Infernocus de-combine into it's separate component Infernocons.
"Did you forgot who I am?" Optimus held his sword at the ready & a mouth guard active; preparing for battle against numerous opponents.
Then as the Infernocons began to approach, Optimus suddenly took batter up swing, as the enemies came in a crescent attack formation: as the Autobot Leader SLICED their heads off in a single attack stroke! The Infernocon's heads flew & their bodies were dropping, as the Autobot stood looking like a cool leader taking on a six on one & winning the odds.
"I…Am Optimus Prime." Optimus proclaimed who he was, & for his defeated foes on the battlefield…to remember that even in the afterlife. "Autobots, Attack!" Optimus gave the next order, as Bumblebee waved for everyone to follow.
It seem like things were slowly turning for the Autobots…Until an unseen attack knocked many backwards & Optimus skid from blocking the aftershock. That's when from within the smoke-clouds, came some new figures that appeared like Transformers almost similar to the Knights Of Iacon, but different. They were armed differently & with themes like colors & other elements to make them stand out…
"So, they have come?" Optimus Prime spoke with a sheer voice of seriousness.
"Prime, who or what are they?" Breakaway asked in approaching his leader to see new foes appear.
"The long forgotten ancient knights, known as the Royal Knights." Optimus Prime explained a brief knowledge about those before them. "And the one that leads them, Black Alpha." He stated this with a more firm tone on who was it that leads such a group of Cybertronian figure knights.
At this time, another Cybertronian Knight was seen, this one was black & gave off the intimidation of being the most fearful & strongest of the other 12.
"So tell us, are they bad or what?" Smokescreen asked in not liking the looks of the odds here.
"No, they serve as judges…but, something is off…the atmosphere they give, is only of 'one' will. That can only mean one thing…" Optimus Prime expressed himself about the Royal Knights, but…saw something was off from the emotionless look of their eyes as if… "Someone has obtain the Bracelet Of Yggdrasil, to take full command over them. Just as the Staff gave command over the Knights Of Iacon. The only difference, is the bracelet, robs them of their free will." Optimus explained that someone was controlling the Royal Knights, using the bodies to work without the aid of one's free will & independence.
"So then, where can we find the one controlling them? If they are not here, then this will be a harder battle?" Prowl asked in seeing they must attack the controller, but the person maybe within the target chamber which means they have to 1st overcome another difficult obstacle.
Suddenly without warning, 12 out of the 13 Royal Knights scattered off while Black Alpha stood by to…observe like a leader having confidents they aren't needed in this battle. It seem like the Autobots could do was duck, dodge & take cover against enemies that seem about as hard to take down as Infernocus was when all the Infernocons transform together.
"Team Forgers, get down there…the Autobots are getting hammered!" Armor Stark used the com-link to inform his other team to help provide support.
Soon the Skells piloted by the Forgers took action
"Sir, data analyses are coming in, it appears even with the Skells advancements to combat Transformers, data on combating these different foes show their strength is almost even." JARVIS informed Armor Stark about the case of the Skells used by the Forgers against the 12 Royal Knights; it's a pretty even struggle.
"That isn't good JARVIS, we need more aid!" Armor Stark issued off in seeing they need more to help them push these guys back.
Then the Transformer Dragon was heard roaring before diving down to tackle the Royal Knights as if striking them like bowling pins when they least expected it. And soon the Transformer Dragon roared to unleash it's triple flames against the Royal Guards guarding themselves, while the Skells launch a counterattack with the new aid.
"That'll do." Armor Stark commented that a large Transformer Dragon, can about even the stakes.
The RainBooms were seen running across the battle field to also notice an intense force against knights vs. a metallic dragon. The flashy flares & the explosions that shook the ground, it's a wonder if this was straight out of a fantasy book of such an epic throw-down.
"Oh my, knights fighting against a dragon, it's like straight out of a fairy tale?" Rarity gasped a bit from watching the scene unfold.
"Except de dragon is good & them other knights are fightin' fer de wrong side." Applejack rolled her eyes to comment about a difference from the usual fairy tale stories.
"What are we standing around here for, lets help them out." Rainbow Dash issued forth in being all daring to go & do something.
"Yeah, we got the magic after all!" Pinkie Pie cheered forth that they got the magic to make things happen.
"Do you think that will make a difference?" Spoke another voice within the air that didn't belong to the other members.
"Eep, who-who said that?" Fluttershy yelps from hearing a strange new voice that sounded kind of scary.
"Over there!" Sunset pointed to the distance of where the voice came from.
Soon loud stomps were heard approaching from a different area, as everyone was soon standing over the shadow form…of the black knight Transformer: Black Alpha.
"Wow…I guess it wouldn't be a complete knight theme without a Black Knight enemy to defeat & reach the enemy's castle…by which I mean the Ignition Chamber." Pinkamena raised an eyebrow in randomly seeing how this meeting of a black knight to a combat seems straight out of another fairy tale event.
"You foolish creatures think you can act so confident even in front of the greatest marvel of the Royal Knights: Black Alpha." The voice from before came from the black knight Transformer in stating what it was called.
"Is that who you are?" Goldie raised an eyebrow in hearing this guy present himself, but it a way that didn't sound like right.
"Yes, & no…" Black Alpha responded off to say this that puzzled things more.
"Hugh….okay, did this guy bust his head or something? Cause that made no sense?" Phobos tilt his head from listening to this guy & not follow through.
"I am speaking to you through this body from within the chamber. I am Nezha Ventigo, & my goal is to acquire a world where the strongest species rule over all…the mutant kind over humanity." Black Alpha spoke with these words that revealed a shocking truth of the manner that…he was someone else in control of the body with a goal objective.
"Nezha Ventigo…I remember hearing about him from Azure Phoenix…a man that wants to bring mutants together as rulers over human beings. But why are you aiding those that wanna destroy our world?" Twilight exclaimed in having recalled who this new villain was, but was puzzled about why someone was aiding the doom of their world.
"This world is ruled by humans, but I have chosen to aid someone who will give us mutants…a world of our own. And the extinction of human kind that Dark Curse wished for, shall be complete at last." Black Alpha explained forth of what Nezha plans to do, he cares not of this world so long as there is a new world…where mutants rule.
"Okay, this guy has lost it." Spike raised an eyebrow in seeing they got a nut-job to deal with.
"Well whoever you are, if you stand in our way, then we'll have to make you move!" Sunset firmly glared at this foe to not let someone push them around when the world is at stake.
"So be it, then let us demonstrate how out class you truly are before the might of Black Alpha." Black Alpha proclaimed in reaching behind his waist to grip a sword.
"Hugh…" Adult Nyx's eyes glowed for a brief moment, another Future Sight revealed…something to her horror. "Twilight! He's gonna attack you!" She yelled out to alert of danger approaching Twilight.
That news shock everyone while at the same time, Black Alpha unshealth his sword to deliver a quick strike. But in the few seconds, someone ran to use their body as a shield while a 'slash' sound was heard before a loud 'smack' came of those that hit the ground. When everything came around, the one who saved Twilight was none other…then Ben Valorheart.
"BEN!" Twilight cried out as she rushed to check carefully Ben; a huge cut mark across his backside was seen & bleeding through his shirt.
"Foolish boy. You don't even stand a chance against what stands before you all." Black Alpha remarked off to the foolishness of Ben's bravery, as he prepares to attack the group again.
"KEEP AWAY!" Twilight yelled off with a mighty scream at the black knight.
At that moment, Twilight unleashed a magical aura of her levitation powers to PUSH the black knight a few inches from them while magically restricting his movements. That gave a chance for the other RainBooms to relaite against the foe that hurt their friend Ben. Rainbow Dash used her Magical Nun-Chucks, Rarity used her Eternal Style, Applejack used her Diamond Lasso, Pinkie Pie fired her Party Cannon, Fluttershy used her Rosin' Crystal Petals, even Adult Nyx used her Night-Star Implosion. All these heavy attacks landed which created a large smoke cloud before the magical group cease attacking.
"Did we get him?" Phobos asked in pondering how anyone could have handled all those attacks.
"I hope so…" Spike stated in hoping that could be the case.
"Hugh…" Nyx yelped from her eyes flash briefly, then as they ended; she had a fearful look. "EVERYONE! BRACE YOURSELVES!" She screamed this out in what was coming next.
Without warning, a bright energy force burst from the smoke clouds towards the group. Rarity cased her gems for protection, but unlike against Demon Gloriosa where the girl lasted long enough against the magical vines, the attack from the black knight completely shattered her defense. Everyone brace themselves as the enemy's attack knock them across to lay scattered, mostly aching, the only fortune part was the blunt of the attack was decrease of the full effect, but it was still pretty effective…
"So these are the ones that have stopped the evil forces of Cobra, the Dark Terrorist & the Decepticons, even fought against magical threats not of this world. Pathetic." Black Alpha remarked off to comment that those before him, are nothing that he was expecting to have made such feats.
Then a loud dragon's roar was heard before Black Alpha turn to see the Transformer Dragon breath fire on him. As the metallic three-headed dragon landed across from everyone, the flames died down to reveal Black Alpha apparently almost unbothered by such an attack.
"Even you, Knights Of Iacon, are powerless before the black knight of Black Alpha. Who can even tear your dragon form with no more then half it's strength." Black Alpha remotely stated to those that would dare challenge him, will not fare any better against the black knight's strength.
That's when as Black Alpha swung his sword at the charging Transformer Dragon, it knocked the mighty beast to collide & shatter a metallic hill in a loud explosive 'BOOM' effect. None would have ever dreamt to see the mighty Transformer Dragon in such a state when it took a single sword blow from the black knight himself as the metallic beast moans in pain. But Black Alpha turn it's attention away, for the one controlling the body Nezha, focus on one target that intrigue his curiosity…Twilight Sparkle.
"You intrigue me Miss. Sparkle…other then the others who gain magic through such nonsense with our other world's counterpart, you acquire the magic as energy through science & it evolved you." Black Alpha exclaimed in knowing that Twilight Sparkle of 'this' world, gain magic through technology & it evolved her almost like that of a human born with mutant powers.
"No….it didn't evolve me…it corrupted me." Twilight struggled to push herself up in arguing about what Nezha referred to her: the day she became Midnight Sparkle. "I was naive, I wanted to understand magic…but I couldn't control it, & it turn me into a monster that almost destroyed our world just because I wanted more." She protest in knowing what was wrong of her choice that very day.
"That is all anyone wants, the power to make us different from mortals…I have nearly achieve my own, now…I give you a choice." Black Alpha issued forth to say in what he, Nezha, is about to achieve what Twilight almost acquired. "Surrender & fight for a new order & a new world, or perish with this one." He gave the girl 2 choices, that will seal her fate.
"If those were my only options…" Twilight slowly spoke to say, before glaring at the thing that frightens her with some brave face. "I choose staying by my friends & not abandon the world I was born on." She issued this without hesitation on her decision.
"Then…you will die before this world does." Black Alpha remotely stated in what the evil that is Nezha, will do now.
Nearby, Ben struggled to keep himself conscious in watching the horrors that had happened, & saw that Black Alpha was about to…kill his love Twilight. And he was too hurt to do anything about it!?
"They…need help…but, what can I do…even the new magic forms…can't help? And mine, has nothing left?" Ben exclaimed in reaching to pull from his pocket, the gray geode that once had the powers embedded fro ma Dark Stone before it's removal left the thing empty. "But even so, I have to protect Twilight, I have to!" He wasn't going to give up, he had to have courage to push himself to save the one he loves even if by sacrificing himself.
Suddenly, the gray geode began to shine as a color began to form into something…a star sapphire, but something form in the middle of it to Ben's surprise.
"What's this?" Ben yelps from not knowing what was about to happen; as a flash of light covered him.
"Goodbye, Twilight Sparkle…" Black Alpha spoke before he thrusted down his sword…
"CLASH…/POWFruvhmmm…" But suddenly, an unseen force clash against the black knight's weapon to rebound it away.
"What…?" Black Alpha responded in slight surprise; what could have counter such a attack from the strongest of all Royal Knights.
As the smoke-clouds cleared, someone stood in front to countermeasure that attack aim at Twilight, as she took a moment to see who her savior was. Someone who wore a navy dye hood to which the back end reach down to the waist with symbol patterns along with a silver lining, & an orange & blue gem-shape objects around the hood's facial front edges. The outfit was a silver armor plating chest, shoulder arms, wrist gauntlets, waist pads & greaves. Underneath the armor was navy blue long sleeve shirt, pants along with a brown belt with a gold buckle, & brown boots. And strap around the chest & waist was a white cloth with blue edge lines, & a red symbol of a wing-creature holding a three-piece triangle form. The weapons on hand were noted on what the individual carried: 1st was a dark-gray shield with gold line & symbol patterns. 2nd was claymore sword design in a dark-gray metal forge with dark-magenta lining & around the handle, plus a dark tan brown in the blade's center with black crafted marks. 3rd was a bow that was dark-gray & dark tan brown color theme with dark magenta lining. Last piece of importance was the neck area was a brown threat with unique gold-bronze edges connected to a silver crafted crest which held the star sapphire geode showing 3 gold triangle patterns together embedded in the mineral. But when the figure turn for the face to be seen, Twilight nearly gasped in seeing who it was…
"Hey Twilight, you okay." Ben smiled to say hi to the girl he saved with a nice heroic entrance.
"Ben…?" Twilight was wide eye in surprise, how & what…happened to the guy.
"Woah…is that really you Ben?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed in checking out how Ben's gotten a new outfit just like the rest of the RainBooms.
"Yeah, I just wanted to protect Twilight even with courage alone without fearing I could die, & then…my geode's magic just…renewed it's self?" Ben shrug off to simply state in what happened that suddenly, the geode that had lost it's magic, was renew…from his courage.
"AWESOME! Now all 9 of us have our Geode Battle Forms!" Pinkie Pie cheered forth in seeing they have all the magic boost forms.
"It matters little to me which of you gets up, before the strongest Royal Knight, you all shall fall!" Black Alpha remarked off that no matter the number or the awaken strength of another, none can overcome the power that Nezha controls.
Now with Ben's new transformation plus a Battle Form, the RainBooms apparently caught a second wind. But from a distance, Armor Stark hovers near Optimus Prime in observing the struggle battle against the Royal Knights even with a battalion of Skells & magic powered kids on the aid: it's taking too long.
"Optimus, tell me there's a game plan to stop these guys? Cause pretty much, time is ticking & we're running short on it." Armor Stark asked Optimus for any advice in how to stop the Royal Knights so they can stop Quintessa from destroying the Earth.
"The Royal Knights are a powerful group, it would have to take a force as great as their own to stop them. And only one thing can do it." Optimus issued off to explain that only a great force can stop another, & he was about to tell everyone what it was. "The Matrix…" He opened his chest compartment to reveal within, the Matrix Of Leadership.
"Really, then what are you waiting for Optimus, time to put a stop to this." Breakaway asked in seeing that could be the ticket to stopping the Royal Knights.
"It is not that easy, I was planning to stop Quintessa with this last resort if nothing else could stop her, if I use it now…it won't recharge it's great power for some time." Optimus explained that it was a one time thing to use the Matrix, once perform, it won't have any energy for who knows how long, weeks, months, even a year or more…
"So, Quintessa is just one Transformer, those guys are giving us a hard time…even those kids are struggling to keep that black knight at bay." Smokescreen exclaimed to point out how much trouble 13 strong knights rivaling the Knights Of Iacon are giving them; the RainBooms are just barely holding the strongest, Black Alpha, at bay for a bit.
"Sir, whatever you decide, we shall humbly accept it, no one will blame you in what you must choose." Prowl humbly spoke in stating that whatever choice Optimus makes, no one will blame the bot as it is a heavy burden of a leader to make tough decisions.
Optimus heard them words to take a moment to think, with the Matrix he can take down Quintessa & save the planet, but that would mean leaving those struggling to not know if they would survive. The heavy burden of choosing which to save…the world…or one's companions. With a firm expression, Optimus knew what had to be done…for the belief he still carries of fighting with those & making it out of here…alive.
"Then the choice is made…to save this world, we need the strength of those we depend on. Sacrificing others will not bring us any gain even to save the many." Optimus Prime spoke with such fine words of pride, humility & honesty in what must be done. "Royal Knights!" He called out to those still in battle.
The Royal Knights that were fighting against the Skells in which some lost either an arm or a leg, turn to Optimus' direction: even Black Alpha turn from about to suppress the RainBooms when something was about to occur.
"It is time for you, to be free of your controller & return to your slumber." Optimus issued forth to say this, as he held the Matrix in his hands. "Till All…Are One!" He spoke these words with the utmost hope of what he wants next to happen…
That's when something began to happen, a brilliantly bright light happened around the Matrix, like a shining object. Before anyone knew it, it released light waves that spread forth across the battlefield. When it came in contact with the Skells, the Forgers piloting them didn't feel anything, in fact, most of the battle damages were being repaired like…magic? Strange black energy that was emitted from the Royal Knights were suddenly being exorcise like evil spirits, & Black Alpha was the last one remaining…
"NoooooOOOOORRrughh!" Black Alpha roared off as the blinding light was piercing through him; expelling the energy form of the mystery controller known as Nezha from the body….
When the light faded off & it seem like many of the good guys had been healed, what was seen were the Royal Knights: that remain froze in place & appeared to have become…immobile statues.
"Woah, did that…kill them?" Phobos asked a bit stump in seeing the Royal Knights in…a frozen state.
"Don't know…they aren't moving?" Spike raised an eyebrow in observing; even Black Alpha was as frozen as a statue.
"The Matrix has freed them from the Bracelet Of Yggdrasil, only when the 13 Royal Knights are together, can one gain complete control over them. But if freed, they shall return to dormant state." Optimus explained himself about how to stop the one that controlled the Royal Knights from doing anymore harm. "The threat maybe over with, but the worse is still yet to come." He spoke grily about while this threat is over, the worse has not yet pass yet…
"The worse to come?" Fluttershy repeated with a worried meek tone.
"Do you mean…?" Nyx was about to ask if it was about those within the chamber.
"My friends, we must hurry to the Ignition Chamber, & stop the source of our troubles." Optimus proclaimed forth this message that the final forces lay in wait, & they must stop it from where it's begun.
"Right!" The RainBooms cheered forth with an all sounding agreement there.
"Wait a seconds Twilight!" Ben held up to put a hand on Twilight's hand to stop her for a brief moment.
"Yeah, Ben?" Twilight turned around to ponder what the guy wanted.
"I wanna tell you something…something I didn't have the courage for until now." Ben
"Well what is it, we don't have time for any delays &…?" Twilight was cut off from saying anymore because…
At that moment, Ben pulled Twilight in for a kiss on her lips. Twilight's thoughts went from shock, to relaxing as she kissed the guy back. The other girl members of the RainBooms 'awe' at the scene before both lovers then pulled away with smiles across their faces.
"Be careful." Ben smiled with a red face while having the courage, to say this to the girl he loves.
"Hmm-hmm…I will." Twilight chuckled a bit while blushing from that kiss.
"Alright love-birds, can we get a move on!" Pinkamena yelled off that they got a mission to finish here.
"Right, lets hurry!" Goldie exclaimed as they were all quickly having to move out.
Meanwhile at this moment, the military soldiers with William lead everyone to the edge of the cliff. Many were apparently getting their parachutes on.
"Laze the target!" William issued off to say this.
A nearby jet plane was flying overhead from having had aid of laser paint confirm on the target: even Santos used the screen device to help the pilots above take a good focus aim. Wasn't long before the missiles were launched with nuclear bomb features, as the ground units hand wave signal that it's time to bail. Many of Ex-TRF were dropping out, only a few remaining either had second thoughts or other distractions.
"I don't think I can do this." Izabella exclaimed from sounding a bit scared of dropping off from such a height to pull her parachute; Viviane was near as she heard the girl's worries.
"9 Seconds." Santos stated in how long they got.
"We're going home, Izzy." Heavy Duty knee down to try to encourage the girl to make the jump.
"Yo, I still can't believe we're doing this?" Ripcord exclaimed that they are jumping off a planet's metal crust from 10,000 or so feet in the air.
"Beats getting to be pancake." Tunnel Rat issued off in what the alternative is.
"I don't like doing this as much as the next one, a soldier abandoning the field just doesn't sit right?" Duke stated in looking down in how they must fallback.
"Unless you got jet packs or can magically fly, we best not stick around." Scarlet stated in what they best think about as another means of getting off from such a high altitude.
"Come on!" Lady Jaye signal that they need to hurry.
Pretty soon, Heavy Duty helped Izabella jump off the ground while holding onto the girl. As the Autobots were moving on ahead, some began to notice….the military personal backups were turning tail.
"Mademoiselle, don't go!" Hot Rod called out in not wanting Viviane to leave them, not as they are so close.
"Where is Viviane?" Optimus Prime called out as he saw Hot Rod, Bumblebee, Hound, his Autobots made it, but he doesn't see the human they need to save Earth.
"She's gone, boss. They're all chickening out." Hound exclaimed to regrettably inform his leader, that the human military & Viviane were bailing; it's all them now.
"But why?" Smokescreen asked in why their allies were fleeing when they are so close.
"Something must have happened?" Prowl stated in what to best surmise here.
"Our metallic dragon was taken down, did they think that the danger was becoming too much without special protection or abilities?" Breakaway pondered that maybe for humans, without advance tech, or other special powers like mutant powers or magic abilities, normal people can't compete.
"Worry about that later, we gotta get in before something comes down!" Pinkamena randomly spoke this warning matter as she felt her skin shake from an uneasy feeling.
"I'm worried about what you said sis, but I'll think about it later." Goldie felt worried about that, but decided to ask questions later.
While the Autobots & the RainBooms were continuing to make their way, the military groups were almost all gone in leaping off…however…!?
"What if you're wrong, Lennox? What if it doesn't work?" Cade asked William about if the new plan doesn't work out as they hoped instead of having Viviane aid in retrieving the staff.
"It's gonna work!" William yelled off to respond that they gotta believe the new plan will have a better effect then the previous plan.
Despite the protest of a plan with uncertainsy, Cade knew that the Autobots & even the RainBooms were gonna need more help, but maybe they might achieve things since one side is alien & the other side is magic. He & Viviane would have to take the leap of faith against the odds if either this new plan works or the others can do things without normal human beings.
"Look, we're doing this together, okay?" Cade turn to Viviane to try to encourage her that they can help accomplish the original plan to aid the Autobots.
"Here we go." William issued off for the rest to continue to jump out.
"Hit it, hit it, hit it…" Santos was repeating these words as the jet fighters were firing their missiles.
Soon without warning, multiple missile shots impacted a center location piece of Cybertron's landmass cables. The explosion caused a makeshift in the balance to cause a holding piece of land, to start to tilt.
"We got to go!" William yelled this off to Santos in seeing the events; it's time to go now.
"We're bailing." Duke issued as they had to go; but near Cade, he saw Viviane…remove her parachute.
"What are you doing?" Cade asked in seeing the woman do something crazy when they're about to jump.
"It's just dusty old books." Viviane responded off a comment to which only Cade knew about her.
"What?" Cade responded off puzzled in not following: then without warning & during the moment, Viviane kissed him before going in the opposite direction. "No…Wait!" Cade tried to stop her, but she was still going. "She's got to be kidding me. Dang!" Cade remarked off while removing his parachute to run after Viviane.
Those that remain, were running as fast as they could while a large piece of Cybertron's landmass was burning & tilting towards their piece of solid land. Ahead was Optimus & the Autobots as they fired upon the few forces that guarded the chamber; which at that time, the Autobot Leader saw who was coming towards them.
"Viviane! Get in here!" Optimus yelled off for the woman to hurry along.
"Yes! My little lady!" Hot Rod cheered in seeing Viviane has not abandon them in the hour of need.
"Hurry! This is it!" Sunset yelled out that their final chance, was now…
Everyone had to push it to the max, as some even leaped into the Ignition Chamber…Just as the tilting landmass piece collided to release a wind pressure force, knocking everyone into the chamber to skid. Outside, the entire planetary piece of crust was shattering due to another landmass bashing it without warning: & caused the Ignition Chamber to break off & start…to fall…
