If there was one thing Sentinel Prime hated, it was when his plans went astray. He had learned BlackMaze and Starcrusher were both vanquished by that Samuel James Witwicky, and he was not happy about it.
However if Sentinel was anything he was resilient, and he decided in order to make his plans succeeded he needed to first get rid of all his obstacles in the way. Of course this meant destroying his two sons; and that strange human turned Cybertronian after he became of no use to him
Sentinel decided to reach his goal taking his attack straight forward would be the easiest way. He got his drones ready infusing them with dark energon to the hilt. Then a treacherous smile touched his lip plates, he would enjoy this his new breed of Cybertronians will rule Cybertron. However he realized that Samuel James Witwicky would need to remain alive, until he had Cybertron reborn to its full glory.
"Come my minions, it's time to play crush and destroy." He sneered as he transformed the drones following him.
Sentinel was bold about everything he did; he led his army of drones one by one through the streets killing humans as he went.
"This should get their attention…" Sentinel snapped.
(Autobot headquarters)
Lennox came running into the hanger with Epps, their faces telling everyone trouble was coming their way.
"Optimus, Sentinel is heading here with an army of drones pumped up on that dark energon." Lennox remarked.
"Autobots, get ready to transform and roll out….." Optimus started to say.
"Do not think you're the only ones going into battle, brother; we are a team and family we go together." Megatron remarked.
Optimus nodded.
"Decepticons transform and help the Autobots and humans destroy those drones; however leave Sentinel to my brother and I." Megatron said as he transformed as he saw Sam hop into Optimus.
Megatron pulled up a long side his brother, his tone a bit snarky.
"The boy rides with me on the way back, brother…" Megatron replied.
"If you insist…" Optimus chuckled.
The Autobots and Decepticons took off into battle, and when they arrived at their destination and saw the thousands of drones behind Sentinel everyone had to hold their breath and then gasp.
"Optimus there are so many of them…" Sam replied.
"We must try Sam they will destroy this planet if we do not try to stop them." Optimus said as Megatron spoke up.
"Besides boy, don't' you have faith in us?" Megatron asked.
They watched as Sentinel transformed, his optics landed on Sam and filled with cold hatred.
"Nice of you to come Samuel James Witwicky, I will need you to rebuild Cybertron." Sentinel snarled.
Optimus transformed holding onto Sam possessively, his own optics narrowing.
"This boy is OURS Sentinel, you will NEVER have him." Optimus snapped.
"You always were such the fool Optimus…" Sentinel growled.
"Oh let me zap him, come on one time Optimus." Sam replied.
Grimlock suddenly was full beast mode and charging the drones, the Dinobot didn't realize however; that Sentinel was watching and had pulled his cosmic rust weapon out.
"Say goodbye to your Dinobot Optimus!" Sentinel yelled as he fired at Grimlock watching as the Dinobot completely fell apart from the twisted weapon of Sentinel's own design.
"Grimlock…!" Ironhide yelled heading straight for Sentinel his cannons whirling to life.
"Ironhide no….!" Sam shouted as Sam's hands glowed red.
Sam let his lasers from his hand go off and hit Sentinel's weapon destroying it saving Ironhide's life. Optimus went after Sentinel lunging at the older prime sending his fists flying into Sentinel.
Megatron was stopped from backing his brother by several large drones, so Optimus was alone with Sentinel. They had broken apart from the others fighting their own battle, which was just how Sentinel wanted it.
Sentinel's reasoning was simple divide and conquer; and he planned on doing just that starting with his younger son.
"You pulled our family apart; you turned me and Megatron against one another and for what? So you could turn Cybertron into a battle ground of chaos and death and for what some new twisted race of Cybertronians?" Optimus demanded as Sentinel slammed his shield into his younger son's body.
Optimus rammed his energon axe down almost taking Sentinel's head off, but Sentinel blocked the attack with his shield.
"You are weak aren't you son?" Sentinel remarked with a sneer. "And you've turned your back on your own kind to adopt a lowly creature like that one. He is good for only one thing returning Cybertron to me and then being destroyed. However first I must kill my two backward sons, which I will enjoy to the very end." Sentinel snarled.
"We are not your sons…" Optimus growled.
Silence….
"Megatron was the strong one but you corrupted him into this weak way of thinking." Sentinel snapped.
"No, he realized what you did and finally understood what a liar and traitor you truly were too all of us." Optimus retorted.
Sentinel was tired of his son's noble speeches; he slammed his blade into Optimus' shoulder crushing wiring cable and hitting his younger son's sensitive protoform underneath. Optimus' optics flared in pain, while Sentinel smirked as he twisted the blade until he heard the snap. Optimus' servo snapped off with agonizing ease, and energon flowed profusely from the wound.
Sentinel was determined now Optimus was severely injured, he watched as Optimus tried to fight but he could see the fight leaving his optics now.
Sentinel brutally sent his blade into Optimus' good servo doing the same thing to his only remaining servo. He laughed at Optimus' screams of agony as his remaining servo was snapped off.
"…..Please Nooooooo….." Optimus begged as warnings flashed in his optics of emergency stasis.
Optimus was scared; once stasis hit him he knew Sentinel would kill him.
He would never see Sam again, his adopted boy and his cherished friend. Then his brother filled his memory banks, and his spark raced chaotically in his chest. They had finally reconciled and he would never see his brother again now, until all were one with the Allspark.
"….Samuel…. Megatron…" Optimus whispered as energon dripped from his mouth.
Sentinel smirked, and twirled his sword in his hands preparing to bring the final blow to Optimus whom was defenseless now.
(Where Sam was)
Sam looked around for Optimus, and couldn't see him; but he felt him and he was in agony. It was like his fear suddenly was a live somehow, it wrapped around him until he couldn't breathe. Optimus was dying, that was all he could think of and it pissed him off.
"No, not on my watch he isn't…" Sam growled as he ran faster than anyone had ever seen anyone ever run before.
Sam stopped when he saw Optimus, and heard the sounds coming from him. Sam saw both of Optimus' servos gone, and how Optimus was helpless now bleeding badly. He couldn't even crawl away without at least one servo to pull him away from danger he was at the mercy of Sentinel.
Sam let his powers consume him now, Sentinel wanted to play well he'd play HIS way now. Sam's white hair flowed around his body as he suddenly levitated. Sam's eyes had started to glow electric blue, and his hands started to glow all different colors. He let out a battle yell like no one had ever heard before.
Sentinel's blade stopped sheer inches from Optimus' neck; he struggled to see Sam…his boy who meant the world to him.
"SENTINEL….!" Sam roared as Megatron suddenly ran up with Barricade and Ratchet.
Sentinel smirked.
"You think you can take me, Optimus couldn't even destroy me." Sentinel mused.
Sam smiled, but it wasn't a very nice smile.
"You hurt MY adopted father and hero…" was all Sam said.
Sentinel laughed.
"That's it, keep chuckling dumbass….." Sam growled.
Sentinel went to behead Optimus; Sam was quicker and sent wave after wave of lasers at Sentinel.
"You want Optimus; you gotta go through me first and trust me that ain't happening." Sam said sending another wave at Sentinel's body.
Sentinel tried his hardest to stop Sam, but that wasn't happening Sam saw how ruthlessly Sentinel had crippled his friend, adopted father and hero. Sam wasn't going to stand for that anymore not when he had the power to stop this.
Sentinel landed on the ground with a sickening metal crushing sound.
"I will not be defeated by an infant organic…" Sentinel growled.
Sam's eyes glowed stronger and brighter, while his hands glowed hotter.
"You hurt MY friend, adopted father and my hero; do you honestly think I am letting you live after that?" Sam demanded.
Sentinel tried to get up, but Sam was having none of it.
"STAY DOWN…!" Sam yelled.
Sam glanced over at Optimus who was fighting stasis, until he realized Ratchet was right by his side.
"…Ratchet I hurt…." Optimus whispered his optics dimming.
"I know Optimus I'll turn off your pain receptors; that should help you until we get you back to base." Ratchet said as he glanced at Sam wasn't taking any chances with Sentinel.
"…..Samuel…?" Optimus whispered,
"He is fine; he saved your life Optimus." Ratchet said as Megatron was beside his brother.
"…Brother….?" Optimus whispered.
They all suddenly heard Sentinel's last hateful words at that moment.
"I should have beheaded Optimus when I had the chance, and then your precious hero and adopted father would be dead." Sentinel snarled.
"That was not the thing to say…" Ratchet remarked.
Sam let out a loud battle cry as his lasers suddenly stopped; Sam levitated one of Optimus' servos and sent it smashing into Sentinel's chest plates straight into his spark offlining him. The second Sentinel was offline the rest of the drones, it would seem had been controlled by Sentinel. So, when he offlined they had offlined right along with him.
Sam ran over to Optimus; he ran his hands over the bot's face plates.
"I love you, dad…" Sam replied.
"….I love you too, Samuel…" Optimus whispered as Ratchet gave him a sedative to knock him out.
"Will he be alright?" Sam asked.
"Yes Samuel he needs rest now, you were very brave Samuel." Ratchet said.
Sam nodded.
"Thanks…"
Sam watched Megatron and Ironhide carry Optimus, Sam looked back at the bodies of the drones and then at Sentinel's body.
"It's over…" Sam whispered as he walked away with the other.
However a human dressed in black holding a video camera had filmed everything, he laughed to himself as he walked away flicking a cigarette on the ground.
"Very soon…." He chuckled. "Very soon…"
Sam had no idea how wrong he was this was only a calm before the real storm hit; and this storm no one may recover from.
(Several days later)
Sam had to keep himself occupied while Optimus healed up in the medical bay. Sam walked up to Skids and Mudflap, they watched him intently.
"Whatcha doin Sam…?" Skids asked.
Sam glanced up at the twins, while a faint smile touched his lips.
"Well I was thinking, Optimus is laid up in the medical bay and I wanted to spend some time with some of the other Autobots and Cons. I thought I would start with you two, you know thought we could hang out." Sam said.
"Hey can you teach us that human game Twister" Mudflap asked.
Silence….
"Are you sure you want to learn that game?" Sam asked.
"Yea we's knows we gotta use our holoforms, but we wanna learn okay Sam?" Skids said.
Sam sighed, but he agreed.
"Alright, let's go play then." Sam said as they set the game up.
However, they soon found out that Wheelie, Brains, and Jolt wanted in on the game. However some of the Cons had wandered onto the game and were watching with interest.
Brains and Wheelie were calling what the arrow landed on for everyone.
"Right leg red…" Wheelie said as it had been Jolt's turn.
"Yo, this is fun…" Skids remarked.
"Go on Wheelie, next spin." Sam said.
"K…." Wheelie said as he spun the arrow.
Wheelie and Brains watched the arrow spin around rather fast; until the thing stopped.
"Left arm blue…." Wheelie said as they watched everyone getting twisted up in each other's limbs.
Wheelie snickered.
"This is fun just watchin you guys." Wheelie remarked.
Sam couldn't help but chuckle at that, it was fun. He wondered if he could get Optimus, Megatron, Ratchet, Ironhide and Prowl in on the fun after.
Sam saw Starscream walking up with his Trine, he couldn't help but think Starscream didn't walk he swaggered. It was funny actually. He smiled slightly, while Starscream's optics locked on his eyes.
"What's so amusing Samuel?" Starscream asked as Lennox finally came into view on Screamer's clawed hand.
Sam noticed Skywarp had Epps, while Graham was in Thundercracker's clawed hand as well. Sam found that highly amusing, his laughter rang out wildly at that moment.
"What's so funny, Sam?" Lennox asked.
"Nothing, it's just you three have found new friends huh?" Sam asked.
Lennox and Epps were smirking, while Graham spoke up first.
"What are you the only one who can make new friends…" Graham started to say until Thundercracker interrupted him.
"We have made nice pets… or rather to say nice interesting human friends. They are our designated humans now, they belong to us." Thundercracker answered.
Skids, Mudflap, Wheelie and Brains snorted with a howl of laughter then. Sam snickered at that his long white hair hanging in Jolt's face, while everyone tried to hold their positions.
"You know, Sam don't make me come down there." Epps retorted.
"Okay, come down here." Sam snickered as Skywarp leaned down running his clawed finger over Sam's side that was ticklish. "No, stop no fair!" Sam exclaimed as he lost his hold and collapsed into the Twins and Jolt.
"Awww, did I do that… My bad….." snickered Skywarp as the Trine walked away with their new human friends.
"I am so getting back at them…" Sam grumbled.
"Sammy, let's prank'em…" Wheelie offered.
Sam smiled wickedly then.
"You know Wheelie, that is a brilliant idea the trine and their three new friends." Sam said.
"Any ideas….?" Jolt asked.
"Yeah, I have one or two ideas…" Sam said.
"Maybe I can help, Sam?" Wheeljack asked as he walked up smirking.
Sam smiled.
And so it begins….
(One week later)
Sam had kept a tight lip about this prank, they even kept it from Optimus who was clueless to the fact something was up. Optimus had finally gotten a clean bill of health and was released from the medical bay.
"Hello Sam, How are you?" Optimus asked.
"I am good, you look so much better now." Sam replied.
"Thank you I feel much better now, thank you for taking notice." Optimus said lowering his hand for the boy.
Sam gladly climbed on, while Optimus moved him closer to his face. Sam ran his hands over Optimus' face making the big bot purr loud.
"I love when you purr like that; you sound like a big cat well you know without the fur and four legs." Sam said with a snicker as Optimus chuckled slightly.
Silence…
"You saved my life once more Samuel; how will I ever repay you?" Optimus asked.
"Optimus, I don't want any special thanks just stay online forever and we'll call it even alright?" Sam asked. "I love you…Dad"
"Very well Samuel…" Optimus said as he gently kissed Sam on his cheek. "I love you, boy." Optimus whispered as Bumblebee came up chirping. "Hello Bumblebee…" Optimus replied with a smile.
"Hello Optimus, Hello Sam…" Bumblebee said his voice laced with humor; which Optimus picked up on rather quickly.
"You're awfully chirper today Bumblebee." Optimus said as Bumblebee nodded
"Shhhh, our secret…." Bumblebee said as Optimus put Sam on Bee's shoulder.
It wasn't until a little while later everyone heard Graham yell; while he stomped up a chair stuck on his butt. Everyone stood staring at the British soldier, but also not daring to laugh at him.
"What happened to you?" Barricade finally asked the human.
"Shut it, someone is gonna die!" Graham yelled as several other soldiers tried to help him.
"I AM GOING TO MURDER SOMEONE!" Epps yelled as he came out from where the NEST soldiers can get cleaned.
A towel wrapped around him his hair bright green from what he saw of his body was bright orange.
"He looks like an Oompa Loompa!" Bumblebee laughed Sam snorting slightly as Epps looked at Sam then; his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"Oh I should have known I'm gonna get you Sam just you wait man!" Epps snarled as he met Lennox who had a towel wrapped around his body and one around his head.
"What happened to you?" Graham asked as Lennox growled.
"Someone obviously put glue into my shampoo and now my towel is stuck on my body and my head." Lennox snarled.
Wheelie started to laugh then, when he had to ask a question to the pissed soldier.
"Would that include your aft?" he laughed.
"Oh someone is gonna pay for this, someone is gonna die…." Lennox started to say until they saw Starscream and his trine walk up.
The three seekers looked oddly out of place at the moment. Starscream opened his mouth and that's when the fun started and that's when Sam couldn't hold back the howls of laughter. They started to sing a really girly song; which everyone found to be truly cute and funny.
Barricade stared at the Trine as Starscream pranced around while singing the song once more; until finally he couldn't take it anymore he snorted out loud bouts of laughter.
Megatron walked up staring at his second in command dancing around like a femme and shaking his aft. Optimus was trying desperately to keep a straight face, but he was having an awful time.
Ratchet and Ironhide walked up along with Sideswipe and Sunstreaker who everyone knew were masters of pranks, but this time Sideswipe and his twin were innocent. Of course that didn't stop them from teasing Starscream and his trine, which didn't go over to well.
As fast as the prank started it stopped, the trine snarled and stalked up to Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.
"Are you behind this?" Starscream growled.
"No we are innocent though gotta admit it's hysterical, I bow to the ones who pulled it off." Sideswipe remarked as Sam abruptly laughed and everyone looked at him.
Starscream narrowed his optics at him and headed toward Bumblebee.
"It's on BOY; I am going to make sure you get paid back for this." Starscream snarled as the trine picked up their humans and turned back to Sam with a crazy glee in their optics. "You are in for a surprise boy that is a promise." Starscream growled.
"Sam, I do believe you are in for a world of trouble." Ratchet remarked.
"Oh snap, but it was still fun…" Sam said.
"And well worth it…." Mudflap and Skids said.
"Oh boy was it ever!" Wheelie and Brains remarked.
Optimus glanced at Megatron then, when they realized the other set of twins and the mini bots had a hand in the prank as well.
"Oh I can see this is going to start off a prank war of wild nature." Optimus said.
Megatron got a wild gleam in his optics then as he grabbed his brother's servo and pulled him away to tell him something.
Both brothers chuckled in a sinister way as they walked away planning heaven knows what now.
