Chapter 3: Overdrive

"Woohoo!"

Override, Rodimus, Mirage, Bumblebee and Sideswipe have begun racing down the street wildly and happily. They're wildly heading straight down to downtown city. The obstacles that stand in their way is heavy traffics and crowded Velocitronians. So, they have to do their best to avoid from causing problems, collateral damages and accidents to the city.

Override, Rodimus and Mirage have easily evade from causing the problems to their kinds such as getting over the obstacles via using ramps and taking shortcuts, transformed into robot modes to run and jump over them, racing and jumping from one to another buildings, transformed between and they even showed off their skills and poses, though they did cause some inconvenient problems to her kind. Bumblebee and Sideswipe struggled to avoid the problems as they didn't want to cause inconvenient to the locals. Nevertheless, the Autobots were fast and able to keep up with them.

After passing through the downtown city, five racers were heading straight to High-Tracks' highway, which often has long up-and-down racing track with some potholes, traps, trapdoors, spikes, damaged routes and oil spill on it. While driving on the highway, they easily dodged and evaded the traps, and they even sprang the traps. And at the same time, they also showed off their skills and action posses through the obstacle training courses. After driving and overcoming the obstacles, they arrived at the end of racing tracks, which led them straight to Underworld's city.

Upon arriving to Underworld City, five racers have come across to long yet twist-turn and whirling routes, and even they have to avoid some tricky traps like teleportation traps, trap doors, claw traps, some bats flew down and attacked them at once, and the worst for them to deal with - Rogue Racers' throwing rocks, junks and even spikes in taking them down. Regardless, they have managed to overcome and escaped the danger.

After escaping the Underworld City, they came to the end, where it led them to roller-coaster racing track, which doesn't have traps but required high speed and endurance to overcome it. Five racers charged and sped up their turbo as they drove in high speed through the whirling yet high-low roller-coaster's route especially it's surrounding Speedia Capital City. They're almost to the top's finish line.

"Not bad for Cybertronians," Override commented proudly and happily, "You really sure you want to do this?"

"We have to, you know that," Sideswipe insisted firmly.

Rodimus sighed, "Yeah. We hear you. But I definitely gonna miss racing with you guys! Coz I so don't want to end this!"

"Aie, amigo!" Mirage agreed, "Life is not fun without having friends like you! I enjoy it!"

Bumblebee sighed in defeat, "So am I, my friends..."

"Well, either way, enough with sorrows," Sideswipe said firmly, "Let's finish this, guys! I'm gonna make the best out of it!"

Override scoffed, "Not if I beat you first, rustbucket! Count on it!"

"Alright, let's finish this!" Bumblebee beeped wildly and happily.

Rodimus and Mirage cheered, "YEAH!"

And so, five racers have sped up their turbo as they headed straight back to Speedia's Finish Line now. Jazz, Crosshairs, Cogman and Kup were cheering for their respective friends to keep it up and win the race.

"Hopefully, Bee or Sideswipe wins the race!" Crosshairs pleaded hopefully, "We can't lose!"

"Don't worry, Crosshairs! They've got this!" Jazz said confidently.

Cogman scoffed, "I wouldn't too be sure of it! Milady Override will win! She always win the race! Nothing can stop her!"

"Either way, may the best bot win the race!" Kup exclaimed happily, "Because in the end, everyone's the winner for giving out the best!"

Jazz laughed, "Sounds like a true wisebot!"

Five racers are close to the finish line, and only one of them must win the race! Suddenly, they noticed something from the top. They found a large grayish colossal Velocitronian that has dark blue right and golden left sport cars-like hand, and his legs have both white and dark grayish truck-like, appeared and landed on the ground as he slammed his fist on the ground, causing a powerful shockwave in repelling and knocking them off to the ground.

The racers transformed into their robotic mode. They all armed with their blasters. And just before they could do anything, the Velocitronian Colossal swung his hand at them straight to the walls hard. All of them got knocked out.

Jazz and his team spotted the situation. And just before they could do anything, they and their soldiers got knocked out of conscience from behind. The attacker revealed to be Barricade's Decepticons and Rogue Racers. Velocitronian Colossal, carrying the defeated racers, approached to his allies. He dropped them to the ground hard.

"Well done, Menasor," Barricade said firmly and calmly, "How do you feel?"

Menasor smirked darkly while looking at his hands, "I feel powerful and faster too! I like this Combiner Form! I intend to use it for my own benefits! I'll never let anyone take this power away again! I'm unstoppable!"

Barricade smirked, "Glad you like it, Menasor."

"What is next?" Shatter asked.

"Final preparation for frontier," Barricade said firmly.

"Yes, sir!" Decepticons exclaimed firmly and proudly.

Ransack groaned in frustration and annoyance. He muttered angrily, "Who the heck does he think he is? This gang is mine! And mine alone, no one else! I won't let anyone take it. Count on it..."

"What are we gonna do now?" Crumplezone asked curiously.

Ransack chuckled, "Don't worry, I've got a surprise for the Decepticons, and they will remember that I rule the Velocitron, not their boss or Override. Best idea I ever come up with.

Crumplezone awed in amazement and shock, "Ooh! Me like it."

"Bumblebee... Bumblebee... Bumblebee..."

Bumblebee groaned in pain as his optics slowly beamed out in blue light. He groaned woozily and dizzily like he just woke up from his bad dream. Unfortunately for him, he's not at Velocitron now as he found himself in the realm of darkness. No sign of his friends or even mysterious colossal that took him and his team down.

"Bumblebee..." The firm voice called.

Bumblebee turned to his back, where he met two Cybertronians before him. On his left was an older blue mech worn dark crimson helmet, white armor, spiked shoulder pads, armored led pads and has wings on his back while the right side was an odd hunchback golden Cybertronian Warrior with demonic and strange yet calm feature of creature, three hands-like claws and his legs are swamp-like beasts.

"What the?!" Bumblebee beeped in surprise. He then armed himself for the fight, "Who the heck are you?!"

"Calm yourself, Bumblebee. We mean you no harm. We come in peace," The armored Cybertronian said calmly to Bumblebee, who was uncertain and confused about it. Not sure of what's going on, he let down his guard a bit while facing at him. He continued, "I am the Guardian of Time and Space - Vector Prime. And this is my brother - Amalgamous Prime."

Amalgamous hissed a bit while bowed humbly, "An honor to meet the last generation of the Allspark..."

"Okay..." Bumblebee beeped in uncertain, "What is it you want with me? I thought Primes only talk with each other, and not others like me."

Vector nodded, "That is true. However, I was not able to locate and speak with Optimus Prime. But I do managed to locate you when you and your team were separated and landed on Planet Velocitron. So, Amalgamous and I decide to talk with you."

Amalgamous hissed in fear and uncertain, "We have sense great danger ahead of time..."

Bumblebee looked worry and concern, "Decepticons?!"

"Worse..." Vector said in concern, "The ancient and manipulative enemy of Cybertron has make her move. She will seek revenge on you and your kind while accomplish her ambition of unifying the worlds of Cybertronian and destroy all of indigenous life forms."

Bumblebee's eyes widened in shock and concern. Amalgamous hissed, "Yes. It is true. In order to complete her objective, she required a unique yet special relic that could bring and formed all Cybertronian Planets together into one."

"However, such bold yet dangerous move will destroy all planets and inhabitants including Cybertronians and the colonies. It will leave the universe nothing but empty space." Vector said firmly yet calmly, "So, you and your comrades including Optimus Prime must stop her!"

"And the relic she sought is Cyber Planet Key."

Amalgamous added in concern.

"Cyber Planet Key?!" Bumblebee asked in shock and concern. He gasped, "Override's key?!"

"Yes. That is the one," Vector confirmed firmly, "You must retrieve and protected it at all cost. Do not let it fall into the hands of your enemy."

Amalgamous nodded, "Do not fail your mission, my friend."

Other than Decepticons, Bumblebee looked worry and scared about this 'ancient enemy'. He shook his head before showing his brave and determined looks, "You can count on me. I'll let my friends know about this. I won't let her win."

"We know..." Vector said firmly and calmly.

"We're counting on you, Autobot..." Amalgamous hissed gently.

Bumblebee nodded before beeped in realization, "Who is this enemy of ours? Who is she?"

Vector and Amalgamous sighed, "Quintessa..."

Just before Bumblebee could ask more, he heard shouts of his name and 'wake up'. This has caused the world of darkness cracked and shattered by the pierce of lights. He then looked at both Vector Prime and Amalgamous Prime, who slowly fade and disappeared into nothingness. He beeped out loud to call their names.

Bumblebee beeped in shock as he awakened from his unconsciousness. He groaned in pain while rubbing his head gently. He then looked around of his surroundings - couple of cell-blocks with powerful force-fields and guarded by Decepticon Patrols and Rogue Racers. His friends got in different cell blocks. He realized that he and his friends got attacked and trapped within the blocks.

"Damn it..." Bumblebee beeped with a sigh, "What happen? How did the Decepticons get here?"

"No idea..." Jazz admitted in concern, "But I have the feelings that Decepticons have been here a while. They must have knocked us out when we let our guard down. And whatever their plan is, it can't be good."

"Or worse, Megatron could be here..." Sideswipe said in concern.

"Well, I don't see him around, ya know," Crosshairs said in annoyance while crossed his arms, "Could mean Barricade and his team got separated from the main units..."

"That should be good news, right?" Rodimus asked hopefully.

"Good news?! We're still in prison, amigo!" Mirage exclaimed in annoyance and frustration, "And not to mention, Ransack and his gang has taken control of Speedia, without challenging Override for a race! Such cowardly and pathetic tactic!"

Cogman groaned, "Agreed! I will not allow this to go!"

"I wouldn't be surprise if he could pull his cheating again," Override said dryly. She hissed in concern, "But I'm surprise that he and his gang can finally do it."

Kup nodded in concern, "And not to mention, those Stunticons were able to combine and fused together into some sort of colossal. How is it possible?"

"Combiner Cube," Jazz said in concern, "That power allowed fusing and combining five to seven Cybertronians into one giant Combiner. And no doubt, this has Decepticons' handwriting over it."

Crosshairs nodded while crossed his arms, "No kidding. So, what's next?"

Bumblebee beeped in concern, "Guys, we need to get out of here and get that Cyber Planet Key!"

"Huh?! Why, Bee?!" Sideswipe asked in confusion.

Override nodded, "Yeah, what's up with that? Did something bad happen?"

Bumblebee nodded in concern as he explained to his friends about the dreams he has and the danger he was being warned of. They were skeptical and unconvinced about it.

"That is preposterous! Why should we believe such tale of this?!" Cogman demanded dryly.

Crosshairs nodded, "Yeah, Bee. This gotta be a joke, you know."

"Because it's true! And I'm not making this up," Bumblebee beeped in concern, "I really saw two Primes and begged me to get the key before Quintessa gets it."

Rodimus hummed in concern, "Where have I heard that name before?"

"Regardless, if what you said is true, we must prevent the Decepticons from getting the key!" Kup said firmly.

"Kup's right," Jazz said firmly, "But first thing first, we need to get the heck out of the cell blocks and rally our guys to fight back."

Sideswipe smiled, "I like the plan, Jazz. But how the heck we get out of here? It's not like we can ask those Cons to come here and open the door for us!"

Mirage hissed, "Sideswipe has the point. Even if I did turn into invisibility, there is no way out of here. Unless..." He gasped in realization, "Diablo! How stupid can I be?!"

"You'be got the idea, Mirage?" Override asked.

"Si," Mirage confirmed, "And you're gonna love this one."

For the moment later, Decepticon Patrol was passing their cell-block. He then noticed Mirage has went missing inside the cell block. He quickly deactivated the cell's force field to check it out. While the patrol was checking out on the cell block, he got struck down and tear to pieces. Mirage reappeared before the patrol. He took the access card out. He then went invisible again.

While the Decepticon Patrols and Rogue Racers were busy patrolling the cell blocks, they got struck down and killed by invisible Mirage. As soon as he has defeated all of the patrols, he then freed all of Autobots and Throttlebots from the prison. They then regrouped at the elevator.

"Way to go, Mirage," Rodimus complimented.

Kup nodded, "Looks like your invisibility has saved the day again."

"Glad to help, amigo," Mirage commented.

"We'd better get going now," Bumblebee beeped in concern, "We've gotta get the Cyber Planet Key first. Quintessa might have it soon!"

"No kidding. And also we need to deal with the Decepticreeps here too!" Sideswipe commented.

Jazz nodded, "Let's drive them out of town!"

Override nodded in agreement, "Got it. Let's roll, everyone!"

Both Autobots and Throttlebots transformed into their vehicle modes. They then drove off at once. They're headed off to Hall of Fame, making sure the Cyber Planet Key to Velocitron is safe and secured. Unfortunately, they have found out that the key has been taken and stolen. Suspecting that both Decepticons and Rogue Racers are responsible of it, the Autobots and Throttlebots decided to go after them and retake the key back at once.

After helping Rogue Racers taking over the command of Velocitron especially putting Ransack as the leader of the planet, the Decepticons have decided to leave the planet to search and regroup with their leader and his forces. They have collected and packed up Energon Supplies, materials and tools before transporting them to a large advanced shuttle-like. Most of Rogue Racers including Stunticons and Shatter's team were helping them out.

At the hanger, the Decepticons and their allies are almost finished packing up the supplies and tools into the shuttle. Barricade and his team were talking with Stunticons and Shatter's team about leaving Planet Velocitron, and joining his master's conquest for unification and control of the universe itself.

"Once you all join us, there will be turning back," Barricade firmly and seriously warned his allied Velocitronians, "You all fight till death for Lord Megatron. If you do survived and succeed winning the battle, you all be rewarded!"

Bonecrusher scoffed in annoyance, "No way, they wanted to follow us."

"On the contrary, Bonecrusher," Shatter said firmly and calmly before clenched her left fist, "I do wish to see the new world."

Dropkick nodded, "Yeah. Playing with these racers are no fun. But working with your boss and fighting some Autobots could be more fun."

Stinger hissed, "Me too... I'm done with this planet..."

"Indeed. I felt the same way, and so does my Stunticons," Motormaster said firmly and calmly. His Stunticons nodded firmly and calmly. He continued, "In fact, I will not follow Ransack anymore! That imbecile can have this planet as his own. He will not rule it for much longer. I can guarantee it. I will find my own, and build my own domain as the 'King of the Roads'! That will be my only title!"

"All hail Motormaster!" Dragstrip, Wildbreak, Heatseeker and Slashmark cheered wildly and firmly.

Breakdown whistled, "Gotta love these guys. Making me wish to be part of Menasoor rather than just being a bodyguard."

"Stuck with these guys?" Mohawk asked in annoyance. He scoffed, "Forget it! I rather stick with my own than having issues with the team!"

Barricade hummed amusingly, "Impressive. I like your attitude." He turned and looked at Bonecrusher, "Wouldn't you agree, Bonecrusher?"

Bonecrusher groaned, "Whatever. As long they don't get in my way, then everything will be fine. So, can we go and leave this planet?"

Barricade laughed, "Alright. Let's get going then."

"Not so fast!" The cocky voice shouted, "Guards, seize them!"

The Decepticons and their allied officers got themselves surrounded and trapped by Ransack's armored black-red colored Rogue Elite Racers. Ransack and Crumplezone have arrived and entered the area. They stood before the Decepticons.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Ransack asked amusingly. He then glared at his former associates, "Coward? Traitors? In my army?"

Crumplezone growled a bit, "Yeah. No kidding! They've got guts to betray you, Ransack! I'd never do that! I knew there's something fishy about the Decepticons! And not to mention, some of our guys like Motormaster and Shatter decided to join their army!"

Ransack crossed his arms while nodded firmly, "No kidding. I knew you guys were scheming against me."

"Hey!" Wildbreak exclaimed in concern, "That's not fair!"

"What the heck are you talking about?!" Dragstrip demanded in annoyance.

Motormaster groaned while clenched his fists, "You dare accuse me for betrayal?! How dare you?!"

"Such talk will not be acceptable," Slashmark remarked angrily.

Heatseeker nodded angrily, "Yeah. You wanna blow our gasket or something?"

Dropkick snarled, "You've got lot of nerve for calling us that when you and Crumplezone are the traitors! You got no interesting of sharing with us!"

"Indeed, my friends," Shatter agreed firmly and dryly, "He is no leader. He is a coward! He doesn't have what it takes to become leader and warrior!"

"Ransack is a fool! Ransack is a fool!" Stinger snapped in anger.

Some of Decepticon Racers complained and shouted angrily at Ransack, who got annoyed and irritated by the insults. Barricade and his Decepticons laughed amusingly about the fight between Ransack and his former associates.

"You know. I'm starting to like these guys now," Bonecrusher said amusingly while crackled his knuckles.

Breakdown chuckled, "Wow. Didn't expect you to like them now."

"Yeah. The big bad boy finally likes them now!" Mohawk taunted amusingly.

Bonecrusher roared angrily at Breakdown and Mohawk, "Shut up!"

Barricade approached to Ransack while chuckled for the moment, "Looks like your army thinks of you as a coward. It doesn't seem like you're best suited for the job. So, why don't you give up?"

Ransack screamed in anger, "That's it. You really got me mad! Crumplezone and my elites, take them down now!"

Crumplezone nodded firmly as he and his elites were marching towards the Decepticons. They all armed and aimed their blasters at them. The Decepticons armed and readied themselves for the fight. Motormaster groaned in anger as he refused to back down from the fight.

"Stunticons, combine into Menasor!" Motormaster ordered firmly. As ordered, five Stunticons transformed into their vehicle modes and combined together into Menasor. The Combiner slammed his hands on the ground, causing a powerful earthquake in pushing Ransack's troops down. He roared in anger, "Who else seek death?!"

"Decepticons, attack!" Barricade ordered firmly.

The Decepticons charged and attacked Ransack's Elites at once. Bonecrusher punched, kicked and even thrust his giant claw at his enemy troops down easily. Mohawk laughed evilly and crazily as he jumped while stabbed and thrust his knives at them. Breakdown swung his twin hammers at them while firing his missiles at the brutes. Barricade has easily dodge and evade the attacks while punching and kicking them off one-by-one. Vehicons fired their blasters and attacked them.

Menasor has easily swung his punches and stomped his feet on the Ransack's Rogue. Shatter, Dropkick and Stinger transformed into their vehicle modes as they charged and rammed most of them. And then, they transformed into their second alternate modes - Shatter's Cybertronian Armored Jet, Dropkick's Cybertronian Helicopter and Stinger's Light Cybertronian Jet in shooting their blasters and missiles at them down.

Their former associates possessed new abilities have shocked and scared Ransack and Crumplezone to back off. They even hid behind the boxes to watch the event. They found their soldiers were getting slaughtered and killed.

"This is so not what I have in mind," Ransack exclaimed in concern.

Crumplezone gulped, "I think we're gonna regret the mess we make!"

As soon as the Decepticons have finished up all of Ransack's elites, they turned their attention to Ransack and Crumplezone, who were hiding behind the boxes while quivering and shivering in fear.

"Had enough?!" Menasur demanded darkly before chuckled sinisterly, "This will teach you a lesson of who you're messing with."

Barricade nodded in agreement, "Want an advice?" Ransack looked worry and scared. He grabbed and held his former ally up while snarling, "Don't defy and mess with the Decepticons, or else you'll get yourself killed. Trust me. Lots of fools have tried and got themselves killed."

Ransack yelped in pain, "Advice accepted! Please, spare me!"

Barricade scoffed, "I wish I could, but I have someone, who wanted to play with you." He thrown Ransack at Bonecrusher, who grabbed and held him tightly. He smirked, "Wanna finish this up?"

Bonecrusher chuckled darkly, "Don't mind if I do. I'm gonna break him!"

Ransack gasped, "No! Wait! Don't! Don't do this!"

It was too late as Bonecrusher has his claw grabbed Ransack's head. The hunchback warrior's claw began tightened its grip in crushing and killing the former Rogue Racer's Leader to death.

"RANSACK!" Crumplezone screamed in fear. He then growled in anger, "You'll pay for this! I'm gonna-!"

BOOM! Crumplezone got himself blown to pieces by Breakdown's missile. Though he survived, Mohawk jumped before him. He then decapitated Crumplezone's head off. He then show the brute's head before his allies while dancing wildly and happily.

Barricade turned and glared at both Cybertronian and Velocitronian Soldiers, "From now on, anyone who dare to betray us and our lord shall share the same fate as these two fools! Understood?!"

"Sir, yes, sir!" Decepticons shouted firmly and proudly.

Barricade nodded, "Good! Prepare the ship! We are leaving this planet!"

The Decepticons were about to move and enter the ship. One of their troops got headshot. They turned to west direction, where they found Autobots and Throttlebots were charging and firing their blasters at them.

"Just what we need," Barricade said in annoyance. He turned and looked at Shatter and Mohawk, "Get the shuttle ready! The rest of you, follow me and halt the enemy line! We wait until the ship's ready to launch!"

"We can't let them take the key!" Override said firmly.

Barricade's Team and soldiers charged and attacked the Autobots while Shatter and Mohawk entered the shuttle to get the ship ready to launch. Menasur fought against Override's team, who struggled to fight the colossal since they have never fought one before. Bumblebee and Rodimus battled with Barricade and Stinger. Sideswipe has battling with both Breakdown and Dropkick. Jazz and Crosshairs were handling with Bonecrusher, who did nothing but charging and ramming around to take them down. Vehicons were battling with both Vehibots and Velocitronian Soldiers.

Menasaur roared in anger as he tried to slam his punch and stomp his feet on Override and her teammates, who were driving around while charging and ramming on him by chest and legs, making him annoyed and irritated by the attacks. He roared in anger as he took out his sword in swinging and striking them down, and even firing his blasters and missiles at them as well. They all have barely dodge and evade the attacks especially using their transformation to do so. They've been on it for three rounds. As the team regrouped, Menasaur roared angrily as he slammed his fist on the ground, causing massive shockwave in blowing them off. Override and her team groaned in pain as they struggled to get up while Menasor approached to finish them off.

"Prepare for extermination!" Menasor declared proudly.

"Damn it!" Kup cursed angrily, "We're about to be squashed if we don't do something!"

"Don't remind me!" Cogman exclaimed in concern. He then glared at Menasor, "Unless we tripped him or cut off his head, we'd be done for!"

"Cogman, you're genius!" Override exclaimed happily. Everyone looked at her. She continued, "Cogman and Mirage, surprise that jerk while me and Kup will keep him distracted as long as we can to worn him down!"

"I see!" Mirage exclaimed amusingly, "Give us the signal, my leader!"

Cogman nodded, "Don't take it too long, milady!"

Override nodded as she and Kup transformed into their vehicle modes. They charged at Menasor, who is now attacking them by firing his blasters and swinging sword at them. While Override and Kup were keeping the Combiner distracted, both Mirage and Cogman climbed up the ladders to the catwalk, where they're above the colossal and waiting for the signal.

Override and Kup did their best to evade the attacks while ramming and hitting at him, as well as shooting him down. All it ever did is irritate and annoy Menasor to lose his temper in attacking them relentlessly. After few rounds have passed, Menasor roared in anger as he swiped his hand in pushing them straight to the crates. He smirked darkly as he approached while armed with his sword to finish them off.

And just before he did, Override fired her blaster in hitting his face, signalling both Cogman and Mirage to attack his head. They both punch and struck their blades and punches at him for few times. They then used the stun gun in electrocuting and shocking him wildly and crazily. Menasor became dizzy as he flew straight to the ground. They then split into five components.

Override and Kup regrouped with Mirage and Cogman as they cheered and commented happily and wildly as they have won the fight.

Sideswipe was battling with Breakdown and Dropkick, who sued both hammers and axe in cutting him down. Fortunately, for the silver swordsman, he's fast and swift to dodge the attacks while strike back at them. This has annoyed and irritated them a lot. Eventually, Breakdown managed to trip him down before Dropkick gave two times of punch at him before the former struck his hammer at his face to the ground hard. Sideswipe groaned in pain as he struggled to get up. He got slammed and held down by Breakdown.

Breakdown chuckled amusingly, "Not very fast, aren't you, Autobot?"

"Yeah. You're messing with the wrong Velocitronian!" Dropkick snapped proudly.

"Want a bet, punks?" Sideswipe asked amusingly.

And just before Breakdown and Dropkick could do anything, Sideswipe grunted as he fired his twin blasters, which hit the reflected walls for deflecting the blasts back at Decepticons' chest. He then gave a powerful twisting kicks at their faces. As he got up, they tried to take him down but he dodged and evade the attacks while swinging his blades to injure them. He then kicked them at their faces to the ground hard.

Bonercusher roared, "I'm gonna crush you, Autobots!"

Bonecrusher roared angrily as he charged while slamming and striking his punches at both Jazz and Crosshairs, who both were running and dodging the attacks. And at the same time, they were firing their blasters back at him. Unfortunately, his armor was too thick and strong. He continued charging and striking down on them, who dodged and fired back at him as swift and quick as they can.

After becoming exhausted and tired from dodging, Bonecrusher struck his claws in grabbing and holding both Jazz and Crosshairs to the walls. He then launched multiple punches, wounding and injuring them a lot. After injuring them a lot, he tossed them to the ground hard. He then approached to them as he clenched and cracked his fists hard. He's ready to finish them.

"Ready to die, Autobots?" Bonecrusher asked amusingly.

"Nope," Jazz complained, "I'm not ready to die yet."

Crosshairs chuckled as he held a detonator remote, "Besides, someone's the one is ready to die."

Bonecrusher yelped in concern. He looked up and found his claw got attached by a small detonator. He quickly tried to get it off of his claw. Crosshairs activated the control, causing the detonator to explode. Bonecrusher lost his claw as he growled angrily.

"I'm gonna kill you, Autobots!" Bonecrusher snapped in anger, "That's my favorite claw!"

Crosshairs laughed as he readied with a large missile launcher, "Then, you're gonna love my next favorite weapon of the year! Say hello to my little friend!"

Bonecrusher yelped in concern. Crosshairs fired his missile launcher at him. He got thrown straight at the wall, where it exploded. It revealed the injured and wounded Bonecrusher, who groaned in pain.

"Well, you almost got him," Jazz commented.

Crosshairs shrugged, "Well, I did scratch his armor, didn't I?"

Bumblebee and Rodimus were ferociously and determinedly battling with both Barricade and Stinger, who fought back. Barricade used his nanchuck while Stinger swung his clawed blade at attacking them. They did their best to dodge and block the attacks as fast and swift as they can while fighting back at them. Both sides are equal of fighting with each other. Four of them have the fierce clash against each other for the moment before they departed.

Bumblebee charged and slammed his punch at Barricade, who dodged down and tripped him to the ground. He then grabbed and thrown Autobot Scout at the walls. He then continued punching and kicking at him for few times. Luckily, Bumblebee struck a headbutt against Barricade before kicked him off. Bumblebee got up, and so does Barricade. They both charged and held each other off for the moment until Barricade kicked at his gut before thrown him to the ground again. And just before Barricade could finish him off, Bumblebee quickly kicked him by face before slammed a powerful punch at him to the shuttle.

Rodimus and Stinger punched and kicked at each other as well as blocking and dodging the attacks for few times. They both got pushed back for the moment. Rodimus charged while slamming a punch at Stinger, who moved aside before slammed a punch back at his face. He then continued punching at his face and chest for ten times before kicked him off. Stinger charged while charging up his plasma cannon to fire at him. Luckily for Rodimus, he dodged down while tripped him, causing Stinger slammed on the walls. He accidentally fired his plasma cannon at the wall, causing a powerful bounce on him to the ground.

Rodimus spotted a familiar key dropped to the ground. He and Bumblebee approached and checked on it. Rodimus picked it up while looking at it.

"Is that it?" Bumblebee asked.

Rodimus nodded, "It is. We got it back."

Mohawk emerged from the ship. He shouted, "Ship's ready! Get inside now!"

Barricade groaned, "Decepticons, fall back now!"

Barricade and his army struggled to get up while running inside the ship at once. The rest of Autobots and Vehibots charged and fired their blasters at them. As soon as all of Decepticons are inside the shuttle, it lifted up and blasted off to the sky. They have escaped.

"They got away," Jazz said in concern.

Kup nodded, "Perhaps... But more importantly is that the Decepticons failed to conquer Velocitron. And Override is still the ruler."

"Yeah." Override agreed. She turned and looked at both Bumblebee and Rodimus, who presented the Cyber Planet Key to her. She held it up high, "And we got the key back. That's important thing! We're victorious, Autobots!"

Both Autobots and Throttlebots cheered wildly and happily that they have won the battle.

On the next day, after restoring order and peace to Velocitron, the Throttlebots helped Autobots packing up and collecting some supplies and tools in their shuttle. They were now at the hanger bay, where they say their goodbyes now.

"Thanks for helping us get some stuffs in the ship," Jazz thanked happily, "No telling how long our journey is to find our friends."

Crosshairs groaned, "Probably long..."

"No problem. But we also want to thank you all for defending our home. I hate to imagine if you all didn't come," Override said calmly. She sighed, "Are you sure you want to go?"

Sideswipe sighed, "As much as we want to stay, we can't. We have to go and stop the Decepticons, cause if we don't, other planets will be dead and conquered." Override looked down. He smiled as he approached and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, Override. We'll come back once we win against those Cons. And who knows? We'll be back to race?"

Touched and surprised by Sideswipe's words, Override smiled, "I like that very much."

Bumblebee turned and looked at Rodimus and Kup, "You sure you want to come along?"

"Well yeah!" Rodimus exclaimed happily, "I want to see the world. And who knows? I might able to show off my moves and speed especially doing that to Blurr if I ever come across to that guy. He owe me a big race before he ran off."

Kup groaned before slapped on Rodimus's head, "Typical hotheaded youth! I'm coming too because someone needs to keep an eye on you!"

Rodimus groaned in annoyance, "Thanks a lot, old timer..."

Mirage chuckled, "You could never escape your mentor, amigo, no matter what you do." He scoffed, "Good thing, I'm coming too. Better make sure that you two don't try to kill each other off."

Cogman laughed amusingly, "I agreed, Master Mirage. I'll stay here to look after Mistress Override."

"I guess this is goodbye," Override said in upset tone.

Sideswipe nodded, "Yeah." He raised his right fist before her. He smiled, "But we will meet again. And hopefully, one day, Override, we'll get together for racing and winning. Will you be my sparkmate for life?"

Override giggled as she gave fist-bump to Sideswipe, "Yeah, I do. I will wait for you, Sideswipe. Don't try to lose your touch."

Sideswipe laughed, "I won't. Count on it."

Bumblebee sighed, "Oh boy..."

The Autobots including new members - Kup, Rodimus and Mirage have marched and entered the shuttle. It begins to lift off from the ground. It then began to blast off to the space now. Override, Cogman and Throttlebots waved goodbye to their new friends while watching them gone back to the stars.

Deep in space, the Decepticons Shuttle has begun its journey to find and reunite with Megatron and their forces. Dragstrip and Wildbreak were piloting the ship. Heatseeker, Slashmark and some of soldiers were mounting the turrets. Motormaster was navigating the map while guiding and leading them to Nemesis. Breakdown helped and treated the wounded Decepticons including Bonecrusher. Barricade was checking and trying to contact his main force, hoping he can reach them.

Inside their private room, Shatter and Dropkick were alone. They turned off the lights. They activated the holographic booth, contacting someone else. They then bowed humbly to the ground.

"Milady, we have achieved our mission," Shatter reported firmly. She then showed the Cyber Planet Key. She smirked darkly, "We have the real Cyber Planet Key while those foolish Velocitronians have the counterfeit."

Dropkick nodded, "Yeah, totally worth the troubles."

"You both have done well," The calm yet seductive voice said calmly.

Shatter and Dropkick were looking at the holographic form of Quintessa herself, who is smiling darkly and sinisterly. Both Velocitronians are working for her?!
