Transformers: TransWarp
Episode X
"Aerial Blitz"
By God Fire Convoy
The Knightfall glided silently through space as they approached their home planet of Cybertron.
"Activate the cloaking drive and power up all weapons." Xero said as he turned his head towards Grimus.
"We're going to take out as much as that warship as we can. This ship is more advanced than any of those "autocans" with wings. I think we can succeed."
Grimus gave a slight nod in agreement.
"I think it'd be best if I left in my shuttle, Xero. I want to get as close to the action as I can if that's ok."
"Do what you think is best as long as it includes the slaughter of these devils. Good luck Grimus."
Grimus nodded as he turned around and made his way through the labyrinth of the ship to the hangar where his shuttle rested as still as his thoughts.
"Here we go again…"
"Hey, guys! Looky what I found!" yelled Speedbreaker from within the volcano.
Fire Convoy, Mach Alert, and Wildride stopped their digging and converged on his location.
Fire Convoy rested a hand on Speedbreaker's shoulder.
"You did well. Now lets get past this last layer of sediment and find that key."
He motioned for the others to stand back. They cocked their head to the side, unsure of what Fire Convoy's plan was.
"TRANSFORM!"
He yelled out his command code as he, like a bolt of red lightning, suddenly transformed into his large red vehicle mode.
The ladder whirred as it moved, two nozzles flipped out of the end of the ladder as two strong blasts of water shot out, the force could more than rip a hole through this last layer, and it did.
The Car Brothers watched in awe everytime their leader performed some spectacular feat, this was no different.
"Wow Convoy! You blasted clear through!" Exclaimed Speedbreaker as he clapped his hands in congratulations.
"Fire Convoy, TRANSFORM!"
The heroic leader of the Autobot Earth Forces transformed back into his towering robot mode. He waved a hand as he made his way through the hole.
"We need some light, quickly"
Speedbreaker nodded and transformed into his sleek blue Dodge Viper alt. mode. He switched on his headlights and highbeams as he slowly slid into the hole behind Fire Convoy, his two brothers following shortly behind.
"There it is!" Mach Alert pointed to a large black blob in the cavern. "There's the Ark." He finished.
Speedbreaker turned a little, flashing his headlights onto the main entrance.
"How are we supposed to get in? Is the security systems still active?" Asked Wildride as they walked closer.
"I doubt it. I think the elders deactivated everything when they buried it in here. Let's see if we can't pick that lock." Fire Convoy pointed to Mach Alert and Wildride. They noticed his command and went for the doors control panels.
"H….Headquarters…Prime….Convoy…"
Heavily damaged and infected from that acid virus by Lowraith, Nebulos and Strider used every ounce of strength left in their body to drag themselves along the ground, trying to make their way back to Prime, Magnum, and the others.
"a-almost there…."
Their voices grew faint as they're optics did the same. They were low on energy.
The sound of hundreds of battle drones grew louder. They knew that death would soon be upon them if they didn't hurry.
"Face it Strider…w-we're dead men. I mean look at us…We can hardly move. We'll either die from lack of energy or die from this…this d-dreadful poison." Nebulos said as his face drew a grim expression.
"I'm not giving up yet kid. Hope will keep me alive. It always has, and always will...You just…just got to believe…"
"S-Strider…"
"Yeah kid?"
"I…I'm starting to feel cold…Very cold…"
"Kid, just keep crawling. We're not that far…we're almost in range…range to send out a distress b-beacon."
They continued, but slowly. The sounds of agonizing screams played the background for the deathly planet. It seemed as if all hope was lost. Lost forever.
"Where in blazes is Strider and his squadron?!? I can't even get ahold of him via his COM-link!"
"Easy Magnum. I'm sure they're alright. Those lads know how to take care of themselves." Kup reached over and rested a hand on Magnum's shoulder, trying to soothe him through these hard times.
"I'm going. I'm going out to look for him, Kup."
"Don't be a fool! Once you set one step outside you'll be torn to pieces. We just have to wait until they come back."
Magnum shrugged his shoulder away from Kup's grip.
He turned and looked him in the optics.
"I'm going out there."
A long, sleek, and futuristic red, white, and blue semi truck hovered the place of the stern admiral. The two headlights on the front end flashed on as the engine started quietly.
"I'll keep in contact Kup. Don't wait up for me."
The truck quickly glided out of their emergency base like a feather drifting aimlessly in the wind, the hangar doors slamming to a shut after he left.
"Good luck lad."
The sublight engines crackled to life as Grimus made the final preparations to his shuttle before lift off.
"This is Grimus, open the hangar. I'm on my way now."
"Grimus, this is Xero. Good luck. And see if you can't take down a few of those cannon ports on your way, we'll cover you."
Grimus nodded as he shut off the COM, the shuttle began to drift out of the hangar as the engines suddenly kicked in. The shuttle made a streak in the starry sky of space as it flew towards the Prometheus.
"This is Grimus. I'm destroying the starboard cannon ports."
A moment after Grimus' transmission to the Knightfall, two simultaneous photon missiles were launched from underneath his long shuttle. They sparkled through space like crystal diamonds.
On the bridge of the Prometheus the scanners provided to be too little, too late. Before the shields could be raised the photon missiles had already impacted the two cannon ports. An explosion of gas and ammunition barreled through the lower levels like a wall of fire. His attack was successful.
"Grimus to Knightfall. Impact confirmed. I repeat, impact confirmed. I'm heading for the surface. Cover me."
The COM-link was shut off as the shuttled quickly altered its course as it blasted through the outer atmosphere of Cybertron. Inside the cockpit he got a good clean view of part of Cybertron. The part that had been bombarded by a falling moon was black and burnt.
"May Primus have mercy on the sparks of those lost…"
The control panel sparked as Wildride congratulated himself.
"Yahoo! Convoy, I did it! We're in!"
"Good job Wildride. I knew I could count on you. Now lets make our way inside. I want us all to split up. We're not only looking for the key but for any information, plans, or blueprints."
"Plans or blueprints? What are we going to use those for?" Asked Mach Alert.
Fire Convoy looked over at him and let out a soft sigh.
"I didn't want to have to tell you this just yet. But Cybertron is being severely invaded by an unknown allegiance of Transformers. They call themselves the Tyrannicons and have already disintegrated both Moonbases and a fifth of Cybertron's surface. I've heard that there are billions of battle drones on the surface, eliminating everyone from the face of the planet. That's why we need some plans or something. We need to help as much as we can…"
The others looked among themselves and shook their heads in disbelief.
"You can count on us…" Mach Alert stated for the group.
