Little Manitou Falls:
"How much longer till we get there Barricade?" Onslaught asked. Barricade stopped in his tracks and transformed into his robot mode with the Decepticons behind him doing the same.
"We just need to climb that hill!" Barricade points to a hill in front of him instructing the Decepticons on where to go in order to reach the base.
"Oh man…climbing?" Onslaught complained being very exhausted after hours and hours of driving.
"(Nitro laughs) sucks to be you cogs, at least I can fly!" Nitro said transforming into his jet mode and flying up to reach the base faster, Nitro then transformed in mid-air and landed on top of the hill.
"See ya later scrapheaps!" Nitro said looking down at Barricade, Mohawk, Hooligan, Onslaught, Berserker and the remaining Constructicons before turning around and heading to the base.
"Oh Primus (Barricade lowers his head and covers his face with his right hand and shakes his head in annoyance) Come on let's start climbing!" Barricade said to the Decepticons currently behind him. The Decepticons began slowly climbing the hill from exhaustion with Onslaught climbing the slowest and being below everybody else due to his weight.
"Come on Combaticon….START CLIMBING DAMMIT!" Hooligan said looking down at Onslaught. Onslaught tried to ignore Hooligan but every time he grabbed hold of the hill, he started slipping.
"Here!" Rampage lowered one of his whips for Onslaught to reach.
"Grab it!" Rampage said to Onslaught, Onslaught quickly grabbed his whip and Rampage started climbing and lifting Onslaught up at the same time. The Decepticons eventually reached the top of the hill and Mohawk quickly jumped on top of the hill and lied down on the ground.
"WE MADE IT!" Mohawk yelled while breathing heavily.
"Can't. Move. Anymore!" Mohawk lifted his right hand and extended his poker finger, he then dropped his right hand and head to the ground.
"Hey foot soldier, let's go!" Nitro said to Mohawk walking into the forest with Barricade and the others.
"Uh…Primus!" Mohawk said slowly getting up. "Hey wait for me!" Mohawk yelled running towards the Decepticons, trying to keep up.
"So when are we going to get there?" Scrapper asked. Barricade scanned the area trying to locate the base. He then picked up an energon reading and informed the Decepticons behind him.
"We are almost there, keep moving!" Barricade informed the Decepticons behind him.
"AH COME ON!" Onslaught yelled.
"The gears on my legs are starting to hurt!" Onslaught complained.
"Sucks to be you!" Hooligan said insulting Onslaught.
"Oh yeah, at least I have a higher ranking then you "Scavenger"!" Onslaught insulted Hooligan back but the Decepticon scavenger didn't reply and shrug the insult off. Barricade leads to the Decepticons to their recent base. It looked like a regular human campground only larger and more metallic with multiple Decepticon foot soldiers guarding the entrance with Blackout and Soundwave watching over them.
"By the Primes!" Onslaught said surprised by the fact that he is seen a Cybertronian campground on Earth.
"Am I in heaven?" Hooligan asked just as surprised as the rest of his comrades are. Barricade started walking towards Blackout and Soundwave.
"Name?" Blackout asked.
"Very funny!" Barricade replied walking away from Blackout until Blackout grabs his shoulder and stops him in his tracks.
"NAME!?" Blackout yelled.
"Barricade!" Barricade gasps.
"Come in!" Blackout said to Barricade.
"Name?" Blackout asked as Nitro started walking towards him. The freed Decepticons all said their names. Barricade entered the metallic building in which Shockwave was tending to Megatron.
"Hey M-Tron we're here…Oh my—" Mohawk said in shock as he saw Megatron in terrible condition. His face was badly disfigured, his right forearm was severed leaving only his upper arm was still attached and small drips of energon were leaking from the wound, and the worst part was, is that the once proud and feared leader of the Decepticons is now hooked onto life support.
"Megatron was happened?" Onslaught asked but Megatron didn't respond, he just continue to slowly breathe trying to keep his heart rate at a normal level.
"He was left to die by Optimus!" Shockwave explained to Mohawk and Onslaught.
"Is there anything we can do?" Hooligan asked.
"I am tampering with his energon, trying to make it strong enough to repair his body and increase his strength. All you can do is wait and pray to the Fallen!" Shockwave explained.
"Anyway I could help Shockwave?" Nitro asked walking towards his mentor.
"Indeed, I will require more than one hand to fix up our master!" Shockwave explained to Nitro.
"But I thought I was helping!" Bonecrusher said.
"And me too!" Scalpel said.
"You two are helping with a medical tasks in his recovery, Nitro will help me in the scientific tasks at hand!" Shockwave explained.
"Wait a minute!" Brawl yelled.
"What's wrong Brawl?" Shockwave asked.
"Blackout, Soundwave and I just noticed that only 5 Constructicons survived the Combiner Wars! Where is Long Haul?" Brawl asked.
"Long Haul fell by Deadlock's swords!" Barricade said.
"That traitorous (Brawl growls)—I'm going to tear out his spark!" Brawl said.
"Take it easy Brawl, Deadlock is mine!" Onslaught said to Brawl.
"WHATEVER….I just want to slag some Autobot!" Brawl yelled out loud outside of the tent.
"So how long will it take until he recovers?" Hooligan asked.
"Without my help-It would have taken cycles but since I'm here…Give him about a day or two!" Shockwave explained to Hooligan.
"Shockwave! SHOCKWAVE!" Laserbeak yelled flying into the tent with Soundwave following him.
"Laserbeak report!" Shockwave said as Laserbeak landed on his left arm.
"I spotted three Autobots heading to our campgrounds!" Laserbeak said to Shockwave.
"WHAT?!" Shockwave asked. He sounded angry yet didn't show any emotion in his face.
"Autobots? But how, it's not like they (Barricade realizes that the Autobots managed to implant a tracking device onto one of them and he proceeds to inspect his travel buddies.) Those sneaky bastards!" Barricade notices a tracking device on Hooligan's back and rips it clean off and proceeds to crush it.
"You lured them here Barricade…Now you will dispose of them!" Shockwave said to Barricade instructing him to kill the Autobots with the help from the Decepticons he freed except for Nitro who stood behind to help Shockwave.
Dino drove through the forests of Wisconsin with Jolt and Bumblebee following the tracking device that was implanted on Hooligan until the signal went offline.
"Oh diavolo no (oh hell no)!" Dino yelled in Italian after noticing that the signal disappeared.
"What happened?" Jolt asked.
"The signal went off!" Dino replied to Jolt. The three Autobots then stopped in their tracks and transformed into their robot modes.
"Great just great, now how are we supposed to find the Decepticons?" Bumblebee said with an annoyed tone in his voice.
"We will find them Bumblebee. That I promise!" Dino said to Bumblebee in his thick Italian accent, Bumblebee then made eye contact with him while Jolt stood behind them. Bumblebee quickly looked away from Dino and activated his plasma cannon. "What's wrong?" Dino asked confused as to why Bumblebee got in a defensive position. "We're not alone!" Bumblebee said to Dino as the three Autobots looked up at a nearby hill from which Hightower and Rampage jumped out of the bushes.
"Oh no!" Jolt said frightened by the sight of the Constructicons.
"Well, well…if it isn't the Constructi-cogs!" Dino insulted Hightower and Rampage. The two Constructions were more primitive then their comrades and therefore growled at the Autobots instead of threatening them back.
"What do we have here?" A voice echoed through the hills. Suddenly a missile flew from one of the bushes and hit the ground knocking the three Autobots and the two Constructicons of their feet. The impact caused Bumblebee to accidentally fire his plasma cannon, the bullet flew towards Hightower breaking through the cage which protects his head and bursts open his face. The three Autobots fall to the ground with Rampage incapacitated and Hightower being killed by Bumblebee's bullet. Suddenly a motorcycle drove down the hill and stopped on the ground, transforming into Mohawk.
"Well, well…looks like we have some uninvited guests." Mohawk began taunting the three Autobots not at all intimidated by their size. "What do you think Nitro?" Nitro flew by and transformed behind Mohawk. "Huh, only three? I kicked more ass in prison!" Nitro stated that he was disappointed by such a small number of Autobots.
"But we still can tear their sparks out!" Berserker drove down the hillside and transformed next to Nitro and Mohawk. Hooligan drove behind him, "Especially after they planted that tracker on my back!" Hooligan angrily stated his need for revenge. Onslaught then drove down with the remaining Constructicons and transformed into his robot mode. "Even though none of them are Deadlock, I'm still going to—".
"QUIET!" Barricade transformed in front of all of his Decepticon partners and interrupted Onslaught.
"You can tear apart Dino and Jolt, but Bumblebee is mine!" Barricade stated walking towards the currently incapacitated Autobot scout.
"Stockade would've loved to see you perish!" Barricade clenched his fist in front of Bumblebee's face. "You'll have to through me first Barricade!" Jolt yelled actually standing up for himself for once.
"Fine by me!" Barricade replied firing one of his missiles at Jolt knocking the blue Autobot down to the ground.
"Decepticons finish them!" Barricade ordered his crew to annihilate the Autobots. Rampage quickly sprang into action and charged at Bumblebee.
"NO RAMPAGE!" Barricade yelled at Rampage who had his optics set on Bumblebee. Without thinking Bumblebee quickly fired at Rampage and his bullet pierced Rampage's throat. Rampage flipped back from the impact and his head flew out of his body. Rampage's body collapsed to the ground with Rampage's head falling afterwards and his optics began to flicker in front of both Bumblebee and Barricade. "That is it!" Barricade turned around to face Bumblebee and quickly pounced at him. Barricade proceeded to fire his missiles at Bumblebee and even at times used to brass knuckles to severely and painfully disfigure Bumblebee's face. The other Decepticons fought the Autobots but even fought amongst each other trying to get the honor of finishing an Autobot off.
"HE IS MINE NITRO!" Scrapper yelled wrestling Nitro as Dino watched.
"I don't think so!" In anger Nitro quickly fired at Scrapper and accidentally killed him.
"Oh no." Nitro said out of fear as Scrapper's body fell to the ground.
"Ooooooh, someone's in trouble!" Dino began to mock Nitro being the only witness of Scrapper's murder.
"SHUT IT!" Nitro grabbed Dino by the leg and flew up into the air while the other Decepticons fought Jolt.
"BARRICADE, the Constructicons are down!" Mohawk yelled at Barricade informing him that all the Constructicons perished.
"Scrap!" Barricade tossed Bumblebee aside and contacted Shockwave for reinforcements.
"Shockwave we are losing numbers fast!" Barricade contacted Shockwave through the comm-link.
"What?" Shockwave asked.
"We need backup immediately!" Barricade yelled at Shockwave through the comm-link.
"Who should we send?" Shockwave asked Bonecrusher who was repairing Megatron. Bonecrusher raised his arms and shoulders up as a way of saying that he doesn't know.
"S…S.." Megatron attempted to speak but was still too weak.
"Who?" Shockwave asked.
"S…St…Sting-er!" Megatron said naming the Decepticon that they must send.
"Stinger?" Shockwave asked in confusion.
"A new recruit and our sabotage specialist!" Bonecrusher explained to Shockwave who Stinger was and what his role was to the Decepticon cause.
"Understood my lord!" Shockwave said to Megatron after hearing Bonecrusher's explanation. "We are sending reinforcements immediately Barricade!" Shockwave said to Barricade before ending the transmission.
"BRAWL, BLACKOUT!" Shockwave yelled to the two Decepticons.
"Deploy Stinger!" Shockwave instructed the two Decepticons to send Stinger to help out Barricade. Before Shockwave's very eye, Stinger in his Pagani Huayra form drove by Brawl and Blackout and headed towards Barricade's location.
"You are going down Jolt, I'll be sure to bring you to Blackout!" Onslaught fought Jolt and proceeded to threaten him.
"Dino, the Constructicons are gone but we are still outnumbered….." Jolt looked up and noticed Nitro fighting Dino in the air.
"DINO!" Jolt yelled fearing for Dino's life but this distraction buys Onslaught and Hooligan enough time to pounce on him.
"Let go of me you one-eyed freak!" Dino insulted Nitro trying to get the Decepticon to let go of him.
"With pleasure!" Nitro sadistically said to Dino and proceeded to throw him in mid-air. Dino began colliding in the air and painfully dropped to the ground.
"DINO!" Jolt yelled staring at Dino's unconscious body. Onslaught then threw Jolt towards Dino and both he and Hooligan fired missiles at Jolt knocking the Autobot off his feet. Stinger quickly arrived and molecularly transformed. He examined the perimeter of the battlefield and fired at Bumblebee. He blasted a big hole on Bumblebee's torso knocking the scout out cold.
"You are late Stinger!" Barricade said to Stinger but the man-made drone didn't respond as he is still unable to speak.
"Decepticons return to base!" Barricade ordered the remaining Decepticons to return to their campgrounds. They all transformed into their vehicle forms and drove off. Jolt started waking up and recovering from the hits he received.
"Oh Primus!" Jolt said still in pain from his damage.
"Dino? Dino?" Jolt began calling out for Dino and managed to wake up Bumblebee. Jolt then looked to his right and saw Dino's body lying on the ground.
"DINO!?" Jolt crawled towards Dino and with his electric crawls proceed to shock Dino's chest trying to wake him up. "Come on, Come on!" Jolt proceeded to panic as he continued shocking Dino's chest until the old Autobot woke up.
"I'M GOING TO GET YOU NITRO—"Dino woke up yelling a threat towards Nitro but soon realized that the Decepticons are gone and the only Cybertronians standing next to him are Jolt and Bumblebee.
"What happened?" Dino asked very confused about what occurred during his black-out.
"The Decepticons thought we perished and retreated back to base!" Bumblebee explained. "So are we done with the search?" Jolt asked Dino as the Autobot slightly got up, crouching on the ground and recovering from his wounds.
"No!" Dino said to Jolt. "We still don't know where there base is located but we do know that it's close by!" Dino explained to Jolt and Bumblebee.
"This was all a distraction, they were trying to keep us away from their base long enough for—"Dino stopped mid-sentence wondering what the Decepticons are up to.
"Enough for what?" Jolt asked but Dino didn't respond, he just continued to stare on the Earth soil.
"Dino?" Bumblebee said and continued to quietly yell out Dino's name.
"Oh no!" Dino whispered with shock and terror in his voice.
"What's wrong?" Jolt asked.
"Megatron!" Dino said to himself.
"What?" Jolt asked in confusion.
"We need to find their base quickly!" Dino said transforming into his vehicle mode and driving up the hills following the Decepticons' tracks.
"Lead the way Dino!" Bumblebee sarcastically said as both he and Jolt transformed into their vehicle modes and followed Dino to Megatron's current base of operations.
And that was Chapter 27 hope you guys enjoyed it. Sorry if I haven't been posting so long. School recently started and I'm currently working on a film project with my friends. I will hopefully upload Chapter 28 soon but the next one will probably be the most controversial Transformers chapter ever. Once again thanks for reading.
