These people give me ideas for chapters I work on and for future ideas and for that, I deeply thank them. I hope for their continued support.
Now, let's dive right back in!
*Atlas. Atlas Military Headquarters. General Ironwood's Quarters. 5:12 am*
General Ironwood felt proud of himself. Atlas had all kinds of defenses set up. He felt confident that Atlas could withstand the attack of these alien beings. Plus, he was thinking of all the alien technology they would obtain. Atlas would be unstoppable. He was brought out of his musings by a knock on his door. "Come in."
General Faust walked in. "Everything's set up, General Ironwood. All our defenses are ready."
"Excellent news. We'll show these alien beings the might of Atlas!" General Ironwood proudly declared.
"We should still be cautious, sir." General Faust warned. "We still have no idea what these beings are capable of."
"That's why we must win this battle." General Ironwood insisted. "As I've said, we'll acquire so much advanced technology."
*Atlas. Atlas Military Headquarters. Winter Schnee's Quarters. 5:14 am*
Winter was sitting in her quarters worrying about her sister again. She's seen General Ironwood's fixation on Project: Cyber Warrior, and setting up all these defenses in Atlas all because of a supposed attack that was going to happen today.
She sighed as she was tired from waking up early so many times. "Weiss, are you with these beings?" She asked herself. She had actually read the report given to her by Corporal Matthew Weir and how some of these aliens actually helped them back in Anima. Too bad General Ironwood read the report as well and didn't believe a single word about some of the aliens being good.
"If there are good aliens here, I hope Weiss is with them instead of the bad ones." Winter muttered.
*Vale. Vale City. Schnee Residence. Weiss Schnee's Room. 5:21 am*
Weiss was tossing and turning in her bed. She was still worrying about Winter. She was beginning to sweat and mumble at a fast pace.
*Weiss Schnee's Dreamscape*
Weiss was in the exact same white void as Jaune, Nora, and Ren described. Though, she was still sweating. She was still more focused on her sister. However, she saw a white and pink robot with a feminine figure holding a rapier in one hand and wings on the back standing there. "Weiss Schnee..."
"Who are you?" Weiss asked.
"I am Asteria." The robot answered. "It is nice to finally meet you. Three of your friends have already experienced dreams about other non-Decepticon Transformers, have they not?"
"Yes, they have. How did you know about that?" Weiss asked, curious.
"That's for another time. Now, Atlas will be in danger very soon." Asteria warned as she unleashed a bright light.
*Vale. Vale City. Schnee Residence. Weiss Schnee's Room. 5:24 am*
Weiss woke up in a cold sweat. She looked down and saw her sleeping gown was soaked. She got up and changed into her usual clothing and went back to her bed. She couldn't go back to sleep however and began crying.
Soon enough, Willow walked in and saw her daughter in distress. She sat on Weiss's bed and hugged her. "Weiss, I'm here."
"Oh, Mother..." Weiss muttered while hugging Willow. "Atlas is in danger! I have to go with the others and the Autobots to help defend it! Plus, Winter is still there as well. Even though she's with the Atlas Military, she needs to be helped!"
Willow sighed in understanding. She didn't want her daughter to get hurt, but she also knew that she had to do this ever since she was told about the Autobots when they were brought to Atlas the first time. "I understand, Weiss. I just don't want you to get hurt."
"I know, Mother. Still, if we don't do this, Atlas will cease to exist." Weiss explained. "I'm sorry, but I can't promise that I won't get hurt."
"Just be as careful as you can." Willow pleaded.
"Yes, Mother." Weiss slightly smiled.
*Southern Vale Ocean. The Nemesis. 6:12 am*
The Decepticons were ready to head out to Atlas. It was time to put the attack in motion. "Those puny humans and faunus won't know what hit them." Flamewar grinned.
"Even if they do, they're too weak to stand a chance against us." Strikecharge added stoically.
"The project I'm planning has need for six vehicles. No doubt that Atlas has the vehicles I require." Shockwave reminded.
"Ah, yes. Let's not forget your overly convoluted plan that will fail in the end." Starscream mocked.
"Like your great plans never failed, right?" Slipstream grinned.
"She's got you there, Screamer." Skywarp laughed.
Starscream was fuming once again. "Need I remind you all that I killed the Autobot Wrecker Ironfist."
"Careful, Starscream. You could dislocate your armor patting yourself on the back." Octoshock rolled his eyes.
"Now, Decepticons. It is time to move out." Megatron smiled evilly. "Depth Strike, Aquasting, Octoshock, Cryopedo, Floodblast, Inkstrike, and Serpentide: You all will remain behind and look after our headquarters while we are gone. This Atlas is too cold for your specifically designed alternate modes."
"Yes, Lord Megatron." The selected five bowed.
With that, the locks on the ship opened and the Decepticons flooded out. Once out of the water, the Seekers transformed into their vehicle modes while the others just remained in robot mode. "To Atlas!" Megatron shouted.
*Vale. Vale Forest. The Ark. Main Lobby. 7:45 am*
The Autobots and kids were lounging around when the detection alarms went off. "The Decepticons are on the move!" Wheeljack exclaimed.
"Where to, Wheeljack?" Optimus asked.
Wheeljack stared at the screen for a moment before gaining a dead-serious expression. "Atlas." He answered very simply.
"Oh, no! Winter!" Weiss panicked. She was really close to breaking down again. The others saw this and hugged her.
"Don't worry, Weiss. We'll protect Atlas despite everything that's happened with them and us." Ruby reassured.
Weiss didn't respond and continued sniffling with tears flowing out. "We have to go to Atlas and help defend it from the Decepticons now."
"Autobots: Transform and roll out!" Optimus Prime declared. The Autobots excluding Ratchet and Wheeljack transformed into their vehicle modes.
"Here we go." Pyrrha said in Snipewing's cockpit.
"For Bumblebee." Snipewing muttered quietly as they entered the ground bridge. Once it closed, Ratchet sighed and went back to his quarters while Wheeljack remained in the main lobby with Teletraan-1.
*Atlas. Atlas Military Headquarters. General Ironwood's Quarters. 8:55 am*
Atlas's defenses were completely set up to combat the alien beings. Now, General Ironwood was now very confident that Atlas would acquire so much technology for the betterment of Remnant. "Now, we wait for the aliens to fall into our hands." He gained a smirk.
He began thinking about Atlas being the precipice of technology, having no other rivals. "Sir!" A private knocked on his door. "We've got multiple contacts incoming to Atlas at high speed!"
"Get everyone to your positions!" General Ironwood commanded.
"Yes, sir!" The Atlesian Private saluted and then left.
'So, the time has finally come…" General Ironwood thought as he walked out of his quarters and toward the command center.
*Atlas. 10 kilometers outside Atlas Military Headquarters. 9:21 am*
The Autobots and kids exited the ground bridge. Jaune and Nora were in their Transtectors. "So, now we wait." Arcknight muttered darkly.
"I can't wait to break some Decepticon legs!" Valkyria quietly cheered.
"First, they have to get here." Blake stated plainly.
"Speaking of which, I'm picking up their signals right now!" Ruby exclaimed.
Sure enough, the Decepticons were in flight and had arrived in Atlas. Atlesian Military forces on the ground had just seen the Decepticons and immediately opened fire. "Strikecharge, Flamewar: Dispense with those primitive devices!" Megatron commanded as he and the rest flew off.
"Yes, Megatron!" Strikecharge and Flamewar confirmed. They transformed into robot mode and began making short work of the soldiers despite being bombarded with tank shells, artillery fire, and all kinds of handheld guns.
However, before the last of the soldiers could be murdered in cold blood, the Autobots and kids raced out of their hiding spot and ran to the aid of the soldiers. "Autobots!" Flamewar screamed.
"You!" Strikecharge pointed to Arcknight in pure, undistilled anger. "You killed my brother!"
"I will fight the Decepticons and save Remnant to the bitter end!" Arcknight declared as he drew his sword, ready to fight.
"You will die by my fists!" Strikecharge shouted angrily as he charged Arcknight who easily blocked Strikecharge's fist. The Decepticon then tried a punch to Arcknight's body but was hurt by Arcknight's armor plating.
Arcknight retaliated by punching Strikecharge in the face which actually knocked him down to the ground. However, Strikecharge wasn't done yet. He did a sweep kick which knocked Arcknight off his feet. "See? You aren't better than me. I don't understand how you managed to kill my brother."
Arcknight's eyes widened. "Crossvolt was your brother?!"
"Yes. An enemy of the late Autobot Bumblebee. Megatron was right: That Autobot was a complete waste of Energon." Strikecharge mocked. Arcknight screamed in anger and began beating down on Strikecharge, punching him in the faceplate repeatedly, and he would've continued if Flamewar hadn't interfered by kicking him in the side.
"Wow! You're going berserk. That's not the way of an Autobot, is it?" Flamewar taunted as she raised her sword, ready to strike Arcknight down. However, she was shot by Snipewing who continued to do so.
Suddenly, a portal opened up and the two Decepticons went through it, but not before Strikecharge declared "I will destroy you, Arcknight! Even if it's the last thing I do!" With that, the portal closed.
"Now, since that's taken care of, let's get to Atlas Military Headquarters." Weiss commented. The Autobots and kids began heading to the location Weiss mentioned.
*Atlas. Atlas Military Headquarters. 9:12 am*
While Atlas itself was under siege, the Atlas Military were holding out against the Decepticons, but it really wasn't going well. Vehicles were being destroyed and soldiers were being slaughtered left and right. Blood was being splattered all over the ground and snow, bodies were thrown around on the battlefield. "General Ironwood! We're getting slaughtered here! We need backup!" A soldier shouted in pure desperation.
In the command center, the command staff were looking over the battle happening outside. "We're unleashing Project: Cyber Warrior!" General Ironwood declared.
"Sir, it's still not ready yet!" Dr. Clover shouted in panic.
"Dr. Clover: The project is ready now!" General Ironwood retorted in anger at being refuted. He took Dr. Clover's pad and pressed a button which turned on the four operational robots with their pilots already inside the cockpits.
Back outside, the Decepticons heard four engines approaching. "What is thar?" Thundercracker asked no one out loud.
"Those aren't Autobots. Their signatures aren't Cybertronian, though they do possess Cybertronian technology." Shockwave informed.
"Then what are they?" Starscream asked as he rolled his optics.
Seconds later, the four vehicles transformed into Iron Phantom, Argyos, Snowbreak, and Chillblade. "Your days on this planet are over, aliens!" Iron Phantom announced.
"Oh, our transistors are trembling." Starscream mocked as he fired his weapons. The other Decepticons followed suit, bombarding the creations of Project: Cyber Warrior.
"Time to put these babies to the test!" Argyos's pilot grinned as he pulled a lever and a sword popped out of Argyos's back which he pulled out and ran at the Decepticons with. The one to take him on was Hexblade as she had a sword of her own. The two clashed blades as the other three began fighting other Decepticons.
Iron Phantom was fighting Forcewind and Silverfly. All three were in their vehicular forms having a sort of dogfight. Forcewind unleashed a flurry of missiles, but Iron Phantom surprisingly dodged every single one of them. Iron Phantom then flew behind the two and unleashed his own missiles. Forcewind and Silverfly evaded them, but they were designed to track Cybertronians, so they hit the two Decepticons who fell back to the ground. Forcewind managed to get back up, but Silverfly exploded and was destroyed. "Take that, you alien scum!"
Snowbreak was taking on the Grimmcon Manic who was attempting to claw at her in his Beowolf mode. Snowbreak however had blades on her arms. She was doing well in fending off Manic's wild attacks so far, but it was only a matter of time before the blades broke. Snowbreak delivered a kick to Manic's chest which sent him back a couple of feet.
Chillblade was fighting the Vehicon Commander: Scramblast. Scramblast was foolishly not transforming into his flight mode while Chillblade was using his blaster to pepper the Vehicon Commander with holes despite his armor. Soon, Chillblade sent a shot through Scramblast's head, killing the Vehicon Commander instantly.
Megatron saw this in shock. Four organics in robotic shells managed to kill two Decepticons. Sure, one of them was merely a Vehicon Commander, but still, organics managed to do this. "ENOUGH!" Megatron roared as he fired his Fusion Cannon at the four robots, deactivating them immediately.
Back in the command center, everyone but General Ironwood were panicking. "I told you they weren't ready yet!" Dr. Clover shouted.
"Be quiet, Dr. Clover! We can see that!" General Ironwood shouted angrily as he slammed his fists on the table.
"How can I be quiet?! Good men and women are getting slaughtered out there, and our weapons except for those four robots are not even remotely effective!" Dr. Clover continued.
"What're we gonna do?" A commander asked in panic.
Outside, the Decepticons were once again slaughtering Atlesian soldiers and vehicles. Shockwave snuck off to acquire the six vehicles he needed for his project. Just as Megatron was about to fire his Fusion Cannon again, a laser rifle shot prevented him from doing so. He turned to see Optimus Prime and the Autobots standing there with determined expressions on their faces. "Well, well, well. The Autobots arrive to save the day once again. Though, it seems you're missing an Autobot, oh that's right! He's dead!" Starscream sadistically taunted.
"You do not have the right to say his name!" Snipewing screamed.
"Aw, did I touch a nerve in your cranial chamber?" Starscream continued.
"Now, you've spared us the trouble of hunting you all down and destroying you." Megatron calmly grinned.
"Soundwave superior, Autobots inferior." Soundwave stoically stated.
"Oh, shut it, you obsolete cassette deck!" Full-Throttle called out.
"Full-Throttle, how bout you don't taunt one of the strongest Decepticons on Remnant right now?" CLUTCH rhetorically advised.
"You will no longer kill sentient beings nor plunder this planet's resources!" Optimus declared.
"You would doom our planet to defend byproduct?" Megatron asked, pointing to the soldiers and kids.
"Better than let them be slaughtered by you monsters!" Zig shouted.
"Then try and stop us!" Skywarp goaded.
"I'll take you up on that offer!" Zig retorted. Soon enough, the Autobots and Decepticons charged at each other once again.
Zig and Zag took on Skywarp despite him being a Seeker. They fired their respective Neutron Assault Rifle and Nucleon Charge Rifle at Skywarp who flew into the air and fired a heat-seeking missile at the Autobot twins. The two dodged the missile and continued shooting at Skywarp.
"Once again, we must perform this dance of death." Trap Widow poetically growled. Her and Pursuit were clashing yet again. They were used to meeting on the battlefield most times at this point. Trap Widow fired at her former sparkmate with her legs. Pursuit managed to evade most of the shots, but a couple still hit him, making him hiss in pain.
Ironhide exchanged blows with the Grimmcon Maul. The old Autobot actually managed to pick Maul up despite the Grimmcon's weight. Ironhide then threw him to the ground, actually damaging some internal circuits. Though, Maul still got back up on his feet. Maul was about to run toward Ironhide, but Valkyria knocked him back down with her hammer. "Remember me?" Valkyria grinned.
"You sound familiar, and your weapon rings a bell." Maul squinted.
"Maybe this will jog your memory!" Valkyria happily cheered as she hit Maul's legs with her hammer, making him go down for the third time in a day. "Yeah! I hit your legs again!"
Yang was once again battling Hypnotica who was flying circles around the blonde brawler. "Stay still so I can hit you!" Yang growled. The Decepticon Pretender didn't respond and just began shooting at her. Yang ran to avoid the weapons fire, but was then being shot at by Abyssica and Bloodsurge. She saw resemblance with the two new Decepticons and Hypnotica. 'Hypnotica got it on with another Decepticon and had children?!" Yang exclaimed in her mind. Suddenly, she was thrown into a tree by Bloodsurge. The trio were closing in on her, but then Ruby came to her rescue.
"You okay, Yang?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah. Thanks, Rubes." Yang smiled.
"Hey, I always got your back, sis." Ruby smiled back as she fired rounds from Crescent Rose.
Arcknight was fighting Starscream who was mainly taunting him. "How can you defeat the mighty Starscream when you're just a puny human in a robot body." He then shot at Arcknight who dodged the shots and was remaining to stay focused on his opponent. He tried to kick Starscream who flew into the air for a second before landing back onto the ground. "Really? You can't even hit little old me."
This caused Arcknight to begin shooting at the Seeker Commander with shoulder cannons. "Ah!" Starscream lightly shrieked as he dodged the sudden weapons fire from Arcknight. The Atlesian soldiers joined in on the fight shooting at the Decepticons, determined to defend their home, including Winter Schnee who fired dust from her saber.
While all this was going on, Shockwave ran back out. "The six vehicles have been sent to our base, Lord Megatron." He informed. The Autobots looked in shock.
"Is that who I think it is?" Hound asked.
"I was hoping it wasn't." Jazz breathed.
"Shockwave." Elita-1 growled.
"Excellent. Now, destroy this inferior place." Megatron ordered as he fired his Fusion Cannon at the soldiers, hitting Winter Schnee and knocking her to the ground with newly formed cuts and bruises just from the blast.
"NO!" Weiss shrieked at the top of her lungs and she ran to her downed sister. Everyone looked at the scene with wide eyes and tears from the kids.
"W-Weiss…" Winter breathed.
Weiss turned to the Decepticons. "How dare you! You think you can just take whatever you want just because you deem us weaker than you! You're wrong! We're far stronger than you determine! We will defend our planet! I will defend my friends and family from you monsters!" All of a sudden, a bright light covered Weiss. Seconds later, a white, light blue, and slightly darker blue robot body with heel-like extremities on its feet was standing motionless. "Transform! Head on!" Weiss connected with the Transtector. "Now, I am Frostsprite!"
However, the Decepticons except for Megatron, Soundwave, and Shockwave started laughing at her name. "You think you can defeat us when you have a name like that?" Starscream giggled.
Frostsprite said nothing and unleashed spikes of ice from the ground with nothing but her hand, sending Starscream into the air and crashing back down. "Still think I'm just bark and no bite?" She grinned.
"No, no! You're a warrior! I'm sorry!" Starscream clasped his hands together before Megatron picked him up off his knee joints.
"Stop groveling, you filthy retro rat! Predacon: Destroy them!" Megatron roared.
The Predacon roared as it landed and immediately attacked the Autobots. Ironhide delivered a straight punch to the Predacon's front hip. This made the Predacon hiss in slight pain before it grabbed Ironhide with it's mouth and threw him to the ground. Then, it swung it's tail and slammed Hound, Zig, and Zag into a large tree. Full-Throttle jumped in the air for an attack, but the Predacon blasted him with it's fire. The Predacon roared as it continued it's attack. It grabbed Jazz and slammed him to the ground.
Suddenly, there was a louder roar. Everyone turned and saw Grimlock in his T-Rex form along with the other Dinobots standing a distance away from the supposed battlefield. "Well, looks like my old subjects are on this planet." Shockwave stoically stated.
Grimlock roared in pure anger. "SHOCKWAVE! YOU DIE!" He and the Dinobots charged at the Decepticons while the Predacon roared and charged towards the Dinobots...
Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked Siege of Atlas Part 2. This is a big battle and a few things have happened in this part: Decepticons Silverfly and Vehicon Commander Scramblast are killed by Project: Cyber Warrior, Weiss unlocks her Transtector: Frostsprite, the Predacon appears for the second time, and last but not least, the Dinobots have arrived.
Also, Shockwave has the six vehicles needed for his project. That's never good.
Many Atlesian Military soldiers get killed defending their home. Dr. Clover argues with General Ironwood while at the command center.
