Chapter 15: Unicron's Fall

Jasper, Nevada- Earth- Primeverse

Jasper was a small town in Nevada. It was so small that it did not have a mall or a cinema. It did have a hospital along with two high schools. Jasper was so small that nothing happened. The only thing that happened in Jasper was the Monster Truck rally that came every year but that was the only thing that happened. Teenagers in Jasper that had cars took part in races that tore through the desert countryside just outside of the town. Other teenagers got a job and bored themselves silly as they thought of going to a city to attend a university or college. Little did the people of Jasper, Nevada know that there had been something happening in the town. There was only a few people who had seen something that no one would believe. Three students from Memorial High School had gotten involved in a war that was being raged in as a secret.

Jack Darby, a sixteen year old Human Prime was in class when it happened. He and his classmates ran to the window of their classroom to see a massive robot walking towards the school. Its purple optics narrowed at the school. Jack could not help but take a step back and step right into Vince. The black haired teen spun around to face the red haired teen who sneered at him. "Where are you going Darby?" Vince asked him.

Jack did not answer and he was out of the door before anyone knew what was happening. He needed to get Miko and Raf out of the building. If a Decepticon had come to Earth after the war ended it could only mean it did not like the truce and was trying to make Optimus and the Autobots return to Earth. He knew that the Decepticon would use them as bait. He needed to get them out of the school and away from the school. They needed to get in contact with Agent Fowler for help in taken down the Decepticon that had decided to pay them a visit.

"Jack!" he heard Raf shouting. A second later Raf and Miko appeared in the corridor. "Why is a Decepticon outside of the school?" Raf asked the older boy.

Jack braced himself as the school shock again. He looked at Raf and Miko and before any of them knew what was happening they were racing towards the window. The purple plated and optic Mech was deep in combat with a silver coloured Predacon. The Predacon that was fighting the Decepticon did not breathe fire it shot out black lightning that stunned the large Mech for a second before using its wings to smash him into the ground.

"So much for keeping the war a secret!" Jack sighed as he could see students racing out to get a better look at the fight. Many of them were bringing out their phones to record the fight.

"Urgh! Does that mean we have to let other people know about the 'bots! That is so not cool!" Miko moaned as the Predacon was forced to the ground by the large Mech. "I don't want anyone to cramp mine and Bulkhead's style while we go to the next Monster Truck mass!"

Jack sighed as he looked back out the window to see a Mech he never wished to see again. A Mech that had caused him to have many restless nights as nightmares tore through him. The silver monster that had nearly destroyed Earth and Cybertron on so many occasion was fighting another Decepticon with a Predacon that was not Predaking.

"This must be a dispute for power against Megatron and that other Mech!" Raf spoke up as he watched the two brawling Mechs. The Predacon had disappeared out of sight. Raf straightened his glasses as he kept watching the fight that was taken place. He looked back up at Jack who was watching the fight with narrowed eyes. "If this is happening we have to send a message to Optimus! He needs to put a stop to this before there is to much damage!" he said when he looked back at the fight.

"Something feels off about this fight!" Jack spoke in just a whisper as he kept watching the fight.

"What do you mean Jack?" Miko asked looking up at him. In many ways Jack Darby was the leader of their little group. He kept focusing on the fight that was happening outside the school. He watched as Megatron started to push the other Mech away from the school and the eyes of the children.

"Well I don't know about you two but I want a front row seat of Megatron against purple 'Con!" Miko shouted. Before Jack and Raf knew what she was going to do, Miko was already out of the room.

Jack sighed before he and Raf followed after her.

Galvatron punched Unicron in the faceplates hard enough to stun the Chaos Bringer for a brief second. That second was all that he needed to start pushing the purple plated Mech away from the school. He could not allow his fight with Unicron to cause damage to the school and the children that attended it. Narrowing his red optics he pushed Unicron out of the small town. The small town, that the last time that he had been on Earth had destroyed when he was still under Unicron's influence. He could not allow it to be destroyed again. He also needed to give Nightshade time to get back to Cybertron and get the container that was going to keep Unicron's essences locked away so it could not cause any more damage.

"You think you can stop me and save those children?" Unicron asked as if sensing what he was thinking. "Chaos is coming!" he snarled back at him.

Galvatron did not respond as he managed to get Unicron out of Jasper and into the desert that surrounded the small town. His red optics never left Unicron. He did not see the small figures running behind a rock to get a good look at the fight. Unicron had also failed to notice the three figures. His purple optics never leaving the former Leader of the Decepticons.

Jack grabbed Miko by her arm to keep her running closer to the two brawling titans. Her camera phone was out and she was taken picture after picture of the fight. Raf could only stare at Megatron as he kept the other Mech at bay. He sorted out his glasses as the sound of stones being crushed were heard behind him. The youngest boy looked over his shoulder and saw nothing. A second later Raf heard the crunching of stones once again and tried to find the source of the sound. He had a growing sense that they were being watched. The younger boy looked over at the older boy who was still keeping a watchful eye on Miko to keep her from running towards the brawling Mechs.

Raf tugged at Jack's arm. He could feel the hairs on the back of his neck rise up. He knew for sure that they were being watched and he hoped that it was not Soundwave. The 'Con without a face was terrifying the few times that they had meet the 'Con. "Jack we need to get out of here!" Raf whispered as the ground underneath their feet shock again as Megatron was forced to the ground.

The large purple Mech had then placed his massive pede onto Megatron's chest plate. Miko was getting more excited at the thought of seeing a Mech killing another Mech. Her camera was no longer capturing shots but was filming the fight. She whispered, "I have got to show this to Bulk and Wheeljack!"

"What is it Raf?" Jack asked looking down at Raf. His silver blue eyes watched the younger boy who was clearly distressed about something that his science mind could not process. "Raf are you feeling okay?" Jack asked getting worried that he would need to race back into town to get help. He knew that his mum would kill him if Raf could sick again. The first time had been when he had been shot by Megatron with a blast of Dark Energon, he had been in such pain as the Dark Energon slowly destroyed his body until Ratchet added Energon into his body. After that, the Autobots had been more wary around Raf.

Raf shock his head before looking over his shoulder again. There was still no sign of the thing in the canyon that was watching them. "We need to go, Jack! I fill like we're being watched!" he said when he looked back at the older boy. The sight that he saw behind Jack caused Raf to take a step back and away from it. He locked eyes with Jack to see that he was confused as even Miko was backing away too. Her phone had been lowered as her eyes widened at the shock of the being that had appeared between them and the two fighting Decepticons.

Jack slowly turned around and he took a protective stance in front of both Raf and Miko. The creature that stared down at them with two ruby red optics titled its horned head to the side. Its wings twitched slightly at their slow backing away from it. It stood on top of a large rock with its large claws digging deep into the surface of the stone. Its tail was wrapped around a strange device.

"I think that is for the best that you return to your town and forget what you have seen here!" Nightshade spoke to the three children. The three children that kept staring at her. "Well what are you waiting for?" she asked them when they made no attempt of moving, "One of you having to be rushed off to hospital?"

The three children did not make any move on getting back to the small town. The town that was surrounded by The Shadow Network. The girl brought up her phone and with a click took another picture. Nightshade could not help but hiss. Every since the Dalek Invasion lead by Dalek X, UNIT had become a well known organisation along with SHIELD. She and Edward had not been given a break. The poor Ghoul had become an easy target for Hunters which was not helping with his mission in Japan. A ratteling hiss escaped from her Crystal at the childrens stubornus that could rival both Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.

"Do you want to be crushed?" she demanded slamming a clawed paw into the ground. At the same time Galvatron had managed to get Unicron to fall onto his back. The ground shock with the tremour that was caused by the giant falling onto its back.

Miko snorted as she took a step closer to Nightshade. Screwing her face to look as serious as possible she only stopped when a shadow jumped out at her. Its red glowing eyes narrowed for a brief second before melting to the ground. "You really do have a death wish!" Nightshade stated as she watched the Shadow Man fail to force the girl to run. Nightshade studied her face to see there was no fear in those eyes. She looked over at the two boys with her. The one with black hair had taken a defensive stance between her and the smallest boy. "You're not afraid of a ghost?" she asked the girl. She could see the Shadow Man close by ready to escort the children back to town and to make sure they stay there.

"Look 'Con we're not afraid of anything! Not after seeing a zombie 'Con!" Miko shouted at Nightshade who hissed at her to remain silent.

"Listen to me carefully before something really bad happens and I have both Optimus and Galvatron coming down on me! Leave now before I have to tell your families that you died in a war between good and evil!" Nightshade sighed before turning around to the device that she brought. She heard a gasp from the girl and looked up to see Unicron standing there. His purple optics locked onto her red optics. Turning to face the three humans she shouted, "Run!"

Miko could not move. She was too busy watching the Predacon open its wings making it look bigger. She was shielding them. Her eyes then spotted a familiar red face on the Predacon's back. She had bad mouthed an Autobot. She would have gone to the 'bots aid if Jack had not grabbed her arm and had started to pull her away from the fight.

"Leave them alone!" Galvatron shouted coming out of nowhere and slamming into Unicron with all his strength. The purple plated and optic Mech dropped to the ground with a loud clang. Galvatron then stood in front of Nightshade blocking Unicron's veiw of the Dragonoid and the Autobots three human friends. "Your fight is with me Unicron!" Galvatron shouted as Nightshade pointed to a cave for the children to hide in. The kids didn't need to be told twice and they scampered towards the cave. Galvatron kept Unicron focused on him The purple optics of the Choas Bringer locked soley on the former Leader of the Decepticons, and did not notice Nightshade grabbing the device she had gotten from Cybertron and diving into the shadows.

Unicron snarled when Galvatron forced him to the ground. "You think you can destroy Choas, Galvatron? You think you can forget me easily? I will always be in your processor until you are offline!" Unicron snarled at Galvatron's shadow that hovered above him.

"We can't destroy choas but we can contain it!" Nightshade shouted in front of Unicron. Before he could do anything Nightshade opened the container.

A flash of purple was the only warning that they got before a black mist was dragged out of the purple chassis. Nightshade grunted as the mist smashed into the container and Galvatron bowed his helm as the greyed chassis of CCyclonus dropped to the ground. With a clunk the lid of the container was closed trapping Unicron in his new prison.

"I think this belongs in the Black Archives!" Nightshade said looking at the container that glowed black. They could hear muffled shouting coming from the inside. "Moonray we need a dimensional vortex at my location!" Nightshade said. A moment later a blur swirling vortex snapped open under Nightshade and Galvatron.

Miko seeing her chance ran towardd the vortex followed by Jack and Raf. The vortex snapping closed behind the two boys.
