*Atlas. Autobots & Decepticons. 9:21 am*
Grimlock and the Dinobots were clashing with the Predacon who was managing to fight all six Dinobots which was damn impressive. The Predacon got a distance back and shot fire at them, but Grimlock breathed his own fire, resulting in the two attacks colliding with each other. The blast sent out a wave of heat that melted some of the surrounding area, but Atlas was still cold enough to freeze everything over again.
Slug breathed fire at the Predacon's side which caused it to hiss in slight pain before grabbing to robotic Triceratops and slamming him to the ground. However, this gave Swoop the opportunity to fire missiles which hit their target.
Sludge whacked the Predacon with his tail which almost knocked it onto its side, but the Predacon was stronger than that as it endured the attack as it used it's own tail to knock Sludge away
The Predacon redirected its attention solely on Grimlock who roared at it. The Predacon angrily roared back. The two clashed again with Grimlock biting deeply into the Predacon's leg, causing it to roar loudly in pain.
This gave Slash the opportunity to start clawing at it, managing to slightly dig into it's metal plating. However, the Predacon rolled over which got Slash off of it.
Meanwhile, the Autobots and kids were combating the Decepticons while this was going on. They still had to defend Atlas, after all. Yang and Ruby were fighting Abyssica and Bloodsurge who were dodging most of their attacks with relative ease. "Is that the best you two can seriously do?" Bloodsurge mocked as he shot blasts as the sisters, knocking them back a couple of feet.
"How are you two fighting alongside the Autobots? What a joke." Abyssica added in her brother's mockery of Ruby and Yang. This started pissing Yang off, but thankfully Ruby was there to reign her in.
"Yang, don't listen to them! We're not a joke! Remember what we did with Grimmlord!" Ruby screamed, succeeding in calming Yang down who then fired shots from her gauntlets, distracting the two which allowed her sister to hit them both with multiple shots from Crescent Rose. "Take that!"
Blake, for once was helping Pursuit fight Trap Widow. "So, this is the miserable worm you've sworn to protect!" Trap Widow spat distastefully.
"Ugh! There's no other way I can describe you! You're a fucking crazy spider! Even as a Decepticon, what did Pursuit ever see in you?!" Blake retorted which had the desired effect. Trap Widow screamed near the top of her vocal processors and sprinted towards Blake which gave Pursuit the opportunity to kick her away into a tree. "Hook, line, and sinker." Blake grinned.
Frostsprite was dealing with Grimmcons Manic and Meanstrike who were having a surprisingly hard time dealing with her since she jumped onto a ledge. "Damn it! Stand still so we can shred you into scrap!" Manic shouted angrily.
"Sorry, boys. That's gonna be a no!" Frostsprite grinned as she brought out her rapier. "En garde!" Meanstrike growled menacingly as he transformed to robot mode and pulled out a naginata. "Oooh, that's new." Meanstrike jumped up and tried slashing Frostsprite who only proceeded to duck under the attack and stab him with her new rapier.
Manic jumped up next to try his luck. He brought up his claws to begin slashing Frostsprite to piece, but she was too quick for him as she jumped higher, and fired laser shots from her rapier which knocked Manic back onto the ground o his back.
Valkyria and Arcknight were tag-teaming Cindershot who was surprisingly barely able to dodge the combined efforts of the two combatants. Whenever he'd deal with Arcknight, he'd get blindsided by Valkyria, and whenever he'd shift his focus to Valkyria, Arcknight would take advantage of his distraction. Transforming into his Grimm Wyvern mode, he flew up into the air to launch an aerial attack on the two. "Come on! Fight fairly!" Valkyria shouted, shaking her fist.
"He's a Decepticon, Valkyria. They don't do fair." Arcknight deadpanned.
"Well, then. He's taking some of these!" Valkyria screamed as she brought out her grenade launcher and fired multiple grenades with hearts with valkyrie wings on them at Cindershot who was being bombarded with explosions, eventually being brought down. However, Cindershot made himself hit the ground with force, blowing the two away, but the landed on their feet.
"This is getting close!" Zig exclaimed as she continued firing.
"You're telling me! We're defending an entire continent against the Decepticons!" Zag retorted as she hit Skywarp in the leg joint.
"Lord Megatron, we should fall back to the base!" Starscream shouted.
"We will not retreat until the Autobots and these humans and faunus are dead!" Megatron shouted back and fired his Fusion Cannon at Arcknight and Valkyria, knocking them both down in less than a second.
"Jaune! Nora!" Pyrrha screamed in fear, but couldn't do anything to help as she was fighting Ravage who was ejected from Soundwave's chest compartment. Ravage was attempting to bat her around, but thankfully, Pyrrha had her semblance and just flung him backwards.
"I'd say we're doing okay, CLUTCH!" Full-Throttle grinned as he kicked Thundercracker away. He then shot at Hexblade who evaded the blasts. "Whoo! Another hottie! Seriously, have model femmes joined the Decepticons because that is just not fair!"
"Full-Throttle! We went through this same thing with Flamewar!" CLUTCH reminded. "No flirting with Decepticons!
"Come on, CLUTCH! How can I not flirt with either of them? They're both smoking!" Full-Throttle retorted.
"Grimmcons: Combine and go for the slaughter!" Megatron commanded.
The five Grimmcons obeyed and began the combination process. The Autobots and kids were on full alert once they saw the same thing that happened two months ago happen again. There was no doubt about it: Grimmlord was back!
"PREPARE FOR OBLIVION, AUTOBOTS!" Grimmlord roared, unleashing his scythe for everyone to see, and to say the least, those who weren't the Autobots and kids were scared shitless.
In the command bunker, General Ironwood and the others had their eyes wide and jaws dropped. Questions were burning through their minds by the minute. "What is that?" One of them quietly asked in utter fear.
"We've never seen that before!" Dr. Clovis shouted. General Ironwood remained silent when Dr. Clovis shouted that.
Back with the battle, Grimmlord was towering over the battlefield once again. "Decepticons! Return to base! We have what we came for! Grimmlord: Destroy them all. Once you have, return to us!" Megatron ordered.
"AS YOU COMMAND, LORD MEGATRON!" Grimmlord uttered as the Decepticons went through the space bridge, including the Predacon.
"SHOCKWAVE!" Grimlock bellowed in pure unadulterated rage as he was about to charge after them, but was stopped by his teammates.
"Grimlock! There will be another time! Right now, we got bigger things to worry about!" Swoop reminded, pointing to Grimmlord. "We have to help them! We're still Autobots!"
Grimlock let out a heavy sigh. "Alright. DINOBOTS: UNITE!" Now, the Dinobots transformed, beginning their own combination sequence. The Autobots and kids watched this in utter awe. Sludge and Snarl formed legs, Slug and Swoop formed arms while Grimlock formed a torso. The five joined together with Slash left out. A new head popped up and let out a ferocious roar. "VOLCANUCIS IS HERE! DESTROY GRIMMLORD!" He suddenly ran up to Grimmlord and delivered a mighty punch to Grimmlord, actually knocking him off his feet.
Grimmlord quickly got back up, though and performed a powerful, getting Volcanicus off balance, but the Dinobot Combiner held his ground. Meanwhile, the Autobots and kids were still mostly speechless until Valkyria broke the ice. "OH, MY OUM! THAT'S THE MOST AWESOME THING I'VE EVER SEEN!" She practically had stars in her eyes.
"Uh, did you guys know they could do that at all?" Yang asked, still shocked at what was happening right in front of her.
"No, we didn't." Jazz responded, just as shocked.
"This is something for a scrapbook." Blake muttered, her eyes wide.
"It's spectacular, isn't it?" Slash rhetorically asked as she walked up beside them. "Don't worry. I'm not going to fight you. I'm Slash."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Frostsprite. These are Arcknight and Valkyria. The humans and faunus are Ruby, Yang, Blake, Pyrrha, and Ren." Frostsprite introduced.
"What's the name of the Combiner we're seeing right now?" Snipewing asked.
"Volcanicus." Slash grinned.
"Whoa!" Ruby and Yang breathed.
Volcanicus brought out a sword to battle Grimmlord's scythe. The weapons met with a fierce clang, creating a moderate tremor. Volcanicus slashed Grimmlord in the shoulder, picked him up, and then threw him to the ground, hard. In fact, the impact was so hard it caused Grimmlord to split apart back into his components. "We will be back!" Cindershot shouted as he and the other Grimmcons retreated through their portal.
Volcanicus let out another ear-shattering roar before splitting apart. After that, the Autobots, kids, and Slash walked up to them. "That was awesome!" Nora gushed.
Slug, thought startled at first managed to sport a grin. "Thanks, kid."
"Thank you. Without you all, we would've lost this battle." Optimus stated.
"This just proves that you don't have the spark to do what it takes to win this war." Grimlock growled.
"No! It just means we actually remember that there are innocents to protect!" Ironhide angrily interjected. "Plus, we don't abandon comrades when they need us most!"
Grimlock angrily roared back in Ironhide's face, but the old Bot firmly stood his ground. Despite being a lot older, Ironhide was still one of the toughest of the tough and wasn't scared in the slightest.
"Grimlock, come on!" Swoop implored, putting his hand on his leader's shoulder.
Grimlock let out another growl. "Another time." With that, he and the other Dinobots walked off, but not before Swoop and Slash sent them apologetic looks.
Suddenly, General Ironwood appeared a plethora of soldiers and vehicles. "Surrender now! Make this easy and you won't be harmed!" He threatened.
"With all due respect sir, but are you out of your fucking mind?! If it wasn't for these ones, Atlas would be nothing ruins!" An Atlesian Military soldier frantically retorted. "Especially with that giant one that came out of nowhere!"
"You mean the one with the scythe that's appeared once before! These kids somehow managed to bring it down, so we need to take them in for interrogation!" General Ironwood rebutted.
"You had information on that one the whole time and you didn't think to share it with the rest of us?!" Dr. Clovis shouted.
"It didn't seem like a good idea at the time!" General Ironwood shouted. "What matters now is that we capture these ones and the kids and learn all their secrets!" Suddenly, a portal opened up behind the Autobots. "Get them before they escape!" However, what he saw were his own soldiers and personnel, including Dr. Clovis standing defiantly in front of them. "What is this insubordination?!"
"You threatened my sister, General, and I should've done this a long time ago." Winter growled as she deactivated her tracking device.
"YOU'RE ALL TRAITORS TO ATLAS AND IT'S FUTURE!" General Ironwood bellowed, but before he could do anything, one of the soldiers threw a flashbang, blinding him and the others.
*Vale Forest. The Ark. Main Lobby. 12:34 pm*
The Autobots and kids were back in safe territory. Their parents were there also. "Oh, my little lotus!" An cried bringing in her son for a tight hug. Said son, blushed at her mother using his nickname. Nora and the others giggled.
"Ruby, I thought I would lose you!" Summer bawled, tears freely flowing.
"I'm still here, Mom. I'm still here." Ruby assured.
"Yang, you absolutely scared the shit out of this." Tai groaned, finally able to rest easy again.
"Sorry about that, Dad." Yang sheepishly muttered as Raven joined in on the hug.
"Winter, I'm so glad you realized that the Autobots are the good guys." Weiss cried, snuggling into her sister's side.
"Winter hugged Weiss back. "I'm so sorry it took me this long to realize it."
"You should be." Jaune cut in. "Your superior's hubris got a lot of people killed. Your Project: Cyber Warrior didn't work. Now, the Decepticons know your capability."
Everyone remained silent after Jaune said that, waiting to see the reaction. Winter merely sighed. "I admit that General Ironwood's actions have made me question a lot. Once again, I deeply apologize. I want to help you all."
"Of course, sister." Weiss smiled. "You're always welcome with us." Winter's smile returned and she hugged her sister again.
*Southern Vale Ocean. The Nemesis. Main Hall. 12:29 pm*
All the Decepticons, minus Shockwave were gathered cause Megatron had something important to say. "Decepticons, someone tipped off the Atlas Military of our operation."
"Who would have the audacity to sell out the glorious Decepticons, Lord Megatron?" Starscream asked, feigning ignorace.
"Soundwave, play back Laserbeak's findings." Megatron ordered.
"As you command, Megatron." Soundwave acknowledged as he transformed into his cassette player mode and played back Laserbeak's recording. "Once I send this, the Atlas Military will set up defenses. No doubt that this will screw up Shockwave's plans." Starscream's voice played back.
Everyone looked at Starscream with annoyed, angry, and deadpan expressions. "Seriously, Starscream? Another failed ploy?" Trap Widow rolled her eyes at this cliche scenario.
"T-That's not me! I would never betray the Decepticons!" Starscream tried to defend himself, but Megatron was having none of it.
"SILENCE, STARSCREAM!" Megatron roared as he shot him with his Fusion Cannon, sending the Seeker into a wall. Slowly walking over, he aimed his Fusion Cannon. "I can destroy you right now. You know that."
"P-Please, Lord Megatron! Spare me!" Starscream begged on his knees. Megatron merely proceeded to growl and walk out, the other Decepticons behind him. "One of these days, Megatron..."
Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked the final part of Siege of Atlas. A couple treats were in this chapter/episode. Grimlock and all the Dinobots fought the Predacon which I hope people liked, Grimmlord made another appearance, Volcanicus made his debut in this chapter, and Winter among other Atlesian Military personnel, including Dr. Lucas Clovis defended the Autobots and kids, rightfully saying that if it wasn't for them, Atlas would be nothing but a pile of rubble and ash. Also, Megatron shoots Starscream for tipping off the enemy. Good old Soundwave spying on people, right, everyone?
Dr. Lucas Clovis was especially angry at General Ironwood for withholding valuable information about Grimmlord. Winter was not happy with the general either for threatening her sister.
Also, Ironhide isn't scared of Grimlock or any of the Dinobots despite seeing five of them combine. Grimlock may be young and tough, but Ironhide's got a hell of a lot more experience and has been through a hell of a lot more. There are reasons why he's called Ironhide.
Fourthly, General Ironwood's gone off the deep end, straight up threatening the Autobots and kids despite them saving most of Atlas. Some of it did get completely destroyed and he says 'Atlas and it's future', not Remnant and it's future. That means something, doesn't it?
As usual, if anyone has any ideas for this story, please let me know in the comments/reviews, or personally PM me.
