Another day, another chapter that I feel is rushed but helps me get to the end of this story lol.
A lot of stuff is going to go down in this chapter guys..so be ready. BTW, be sure to read and review if you have any questions, comments, concerns and criticisms.
I down not own Transformers, that is owned by Hasbro/Takara.
Luck was on Soundwaves side today.
He stared up at the cracked monitor of the Nemesis, his optics widening behind his visor. Soundwave felt a sense of happiness for the first time in a while. He'd been monitoring human transmissions since he'd fought the Autobots.
He knew that at some point they would have to slip up. Now that point in time had come.
The news broadcast showed Jazz, Minerva and Ironhide making their break for the woods. He took notice of how the human weapons had no effect on Ironhide.
The human's weapons systems shouldn't be any problem to the rest of us then.
He watched the direction they headed off in. Despite what the Autobots had hoped Soundwave had detected their conversation via the phone line.
While he didn't know where the Autobots were heading, he knew how many were currently online.
Soundwave walked away from the computer screen, his goal set and determined. Megatron was slacking when it came to fighting the war. He insisted that he re establish his empire first.
But Soundwave wasn't the type of bot to wait around.
He'd joined the Decepticons when the movement first began. He'd stuck with it all this time and stayed loyal even in the causes darkest moments
Should the Autobots be able to regroup and rally themselves in anyway then it would be all over. The Decepticons would be defeated; the survivors would either be executed or imprisoned. Neither option was ideal for Soundwave.
Such a fate would not befall him or the Decepticon cause. Not while his spark still beat.
He marched into the hallway and spotted Wreckage standing in the far corner.
"Wreckage, I require your assistance."
Wreckage snapped to attention and whipped around to face Soundwave.
"Have you managed to find the Autobots?" He asked hopefully.
"Affirmative, we're going to reactive some Vehicons." Soundwave moved past him. Wreckage tilted his head in confusion.
"I thought we were supposed to alert Lord Megatron."
"Lord Megatron isn't interested in attacking the Autobots right now." Soundwave venomously spoke Megatron's name.
"Right now he's more concerned about establishing himself here."
"As what, leader of this planet?" Wreckage spat. "You'd have to be nuts to want to rule this place."
Soundwave just nodded and then lead Wreckage into the depths of the wrecked ship. Many a Vehicon that had been out of their stasis pods were destroyed in the crash. The bulk of the Vehicon forces however, remained in stasis.
Wreckage whistled as they walked into the room full of Vehicons.
"We've got enough firepower to take this planet in seconds!" He chuckled.
"At the moment, we can only take two squads; don't need anyone's suspicions raised." Soundwave began to type into the controls.
Wreckage looked around shiftily for a second and then looked back at Soundwave.
"This feels weird."
"How does this feel "weird?"
"Going behind Megatron's back...if it was Starscream it'd feel fine but...it's you Soundwave!"
Soundwave stopped what he was doing and then looked hard at Wreckage. Wreckage felt Soundwave's optics peer into his very spark.
"W-what I mean is, you're like the most loyal of us all so it's strange that you'd do this." He explained.
"Indeed, it is very strange."
Both Soundwave and Wreckage looked up as Starscream hit the floor in front of them. His trademark smirk on his face.
"Why is it that one of Megatron's most "loyal" servants goes behind his back.
"Do you just wait in the shadows for underhanded deeds or do you have radar?" Asked Soundwave in a rare moment of sarcasm.
"I'm just curious to know if you have any means of...persuading me to not tell this to Megatron."
Starscream flicked his claws, expecting the usual whenever he pulled this off. He got a surprise though when Soundwave ran over and decked him. Starscream spluttered as he crashed to the floor once again.
"Thank you for signing onto this mission Starscream." Soundwave coldly stated. "You get to be our aerial support."
"What!?" Starscream glared up at Soundwave.
"I didn't come here to sign up, what's in it for me?"
"You get to live a bit longer." Soundwave said, grabbing Starscreams neck. He then hurled Starscream into the wall nearest to Wreckage.
"Make sure that he doesn't move." Soundwave said and went back to doing his work. Wreckage chuckled, unsympathetic to Starscreams plight.
Starscream growled as Soundwave began to reactivate more of the Vehicons. He'd come to bargain for Thundercracker and Skywarp's reactivation. But instead he ended up possibly signing the warrant for his deactivation.
Just wait until this gets to Megatron." Starscream hissed.
Hound peeked out the window of the garage. He watched Anthony's truck left the complex and the gates closed.
"Alright everyone's gone.." he said with a sigh.
The plan had been to set off in the morning, but Hound had caught wind of the news transmissions displaying Jazz and Minerva for all to see.
"Sari, have you and Bee picked out some possible alt modes?" He asked.
"You bet we did!" Sari slid down Bee's arm and then jumped onto the floor. She displayed pictures of a race car, an all terrain ambulance, and a humvee to Hound. He stared blankly at the images and then at Sari and Bumblebee.
"We want to blend in guys, not look like a bunch of escapees from a showroom." Sari huffed indignantly. Bumblebee just rolled his optics.
"They'll be good for what we need to do." Hound said with a sigh. He looked toward Wheeljack, who was fast in recharge.
"Maybe once we have Minerva we can have him back on his feet." Sari said happily.
"Hopefully, first we need to get them out of trouble." Hound walked over and pushed the garage door upward.
Sari transformed and connected to Bumblebee's arm . Bee and Hound both slid under the door and into the compound.
They raced over to the east end of the lot and then jumped the fence. The two of them landed and quickly transformed into their alt modes.
Scanning the news reports, Hound got a good indication as to where their allies were. He and Bumblebee turned eastward and rolled onto the road. With any luck, they could find Jazz and the others before any of the Decepticons.
Bumblebee revved his engine, urging Hound to speed up.
"Even if we speed up, it'll still take us a few hours to get there." Hound said. Bumblebee growled his engine and then settled back down.
Hound had a sick feeling in his spark that this was going to be a very long night
The helicopter scanned the area with its searchlight. Night had fallen a couple hours ago but they were still ordered to search.
The giant mechanical beings were of great interest to the government. As well as other nations across the world over. It was their top priority.
The robots had vanished into the wilderness and despite being huge beings, had managed to give them the slip.
Its scan turned up nothing and so it hovered away to search another sector.
Jazz peeked out as it buzzed away and the turned toward Hide and Minerva. The two of them crouched down low in a ditch, Jazz had knocked a few trees down to give them cover.
"Coast is clear guys, let's get moving." Jazz said.
Ironhide and Minerva both awkwardly shoved away the fallen trees. Minerva checked her readings again and frowned.
"Energon levels in all three of us keep dropping…" She murmured.
"How about you worry about us escaping first?" Ironhide sneered, not so gently brushing against her.
Minerva stumbled forward, almost losing her balance. She whipped around, giving Ironhide a hard glare.
"We won't be escaping if we go offline first!" She snapped. As she was about to close her panel, something else pinged.
"Hey Minerva, not to complain but can you quiet that down?" asked Jazz.
"Stealth is the key and given how sensitive these humans' audios appear to be-" Minerva held her hand up, then gestured for Jazz to come over.
Jazz blinked and then jumped down into the embankment. Ironhide shuffled over and had a look too.
"Whatcha got?" Asked Ironhide.
"Autobot signals, heading in this direction at a pretty good pace." She said.
"That must be Hound and his crew, I thought he said there were four..." Jazz tilted his head in confusion..
Minerva's scanner only showed two Autobot signals. Minerva bit her lip, either her scanner was fault or one of them was too injured to bring along.
"Maybe her scanners are faulty." Ironhide said. Minerva gave him a look and then glanced back at her scanner.
"My scanners show that they're about three cycles away."
"Well what are we waiting for!?" Jazz laughed happily. He scurried up the embankment and then looked down at the two.
"Come on guys, let's get moving."
"What about the humans you were so scared of?" Ironhide asked.
Jazz pointed to the west and Ironhide turned to look. He could see all the nights from the helicopters off in the distance.
Ironhide looked back at Jazz with a grunt. He then dug his fists into the side of the embankment and pulled upward.
As he got to the top, Jazz helped Minerva up with his grapple.
The three of them then began to make their way toward the road. The entire time, Minerva kept an optic on her scanner.
"The signals are thirty clicks out and coming in fast." She said.
As they got near the road, they heard the roar of a car engine. They froze suddenly, just a few feet away.
They stood in silence as the engine drew nearer. Jazz motioned for them to stay back. He wheeled forward and peeked out onto the road.
He couldn't see much right away, but then the headlights of a car illuminated his front. Before Jazz had time to react, the car suddenly went into a swerve.
Behind it, jazz saw another, larger car also slam on its brakes. The two cars slid along till they were right in front of Jazz.
He stood frozen in place, confused and slightly terrified. Minerva didn't dare to move, while Ironhide's face twisted into one of annoyance.
"Great, your faulty scanners blew our cover." He said
"My scanners are not faulty!" Minerva shouted at Ironhide. Before the fight could escalate, the jeep transformed sharply.
"Guys it's alright!' Hound announced. "It's me and Bee!"
In a manner of seconds, all arguments were completely forgotten. Jazz rolled forward and give Hound a big hug.
"Glad to see a friendly face at long last!" Hound stood there and awkwardly accepted the hug. Bumblebee transformed as well, a grin behind his faceplate.
Minerva and Ironhide stepped out, Minerva was relieved and smirked toward Ironhide. Ironhide just rolled his optics and walked over toward Hound.
Hound turned and looked at his friend with a small smile.
"I'm glad to see that you're online too Hide." Hound said happily.
"Thanks….took ya long enough." Ironhide grunted and looked away. Hound's expression fell a bit, but Jazz spoke up first.
"So, what have you been up to on this crazy rock?" Jazz asked with a grin.
:Is there anything dangerous here?" Asked Minerva, her monitor out and ready to record.
"I wouldn't count on it.": Ironhide sneered. Minerva frowned toward him. She and Jazz weren't built to take large missile impacts like him.
For all they knew, the human's weaponry could harm them.
"I'm still learning about this planet myself." Hound explained. "But from what I've seen this place is teeming with life."
"Life that is similar to ours and yet not." Hound stated. He would forever be in awe of Earth's ecosystems.
"So basically it's a hodgepodge planet." Jazz stated.
"More like a place for refugees from Shockwave's lab." snorted Ironhide. Hound gave Ironhide a look. Hide quickly decided to keep quiet till Hound was done.
Using his holograms Hound began to tell the others what he knew about Earth. He showed them vast plains, dense forests, and the arctic. All three of them were impressed, which surprised Hound.
"We've managed to land on the most diverse in the universe." Minerva gasped.
"No wonder the cons seeded Energon here." Jazz chucked while Hound presented a hologram of a human celebration.
"It's a pretty cool place." Ironhide just grunted in response. But even he had to admit some of the landscapes did look beautiful.
"So what can you tell us about the crazy bunch that attacked us?" asked Jazz.
"Those would be the planet's dominant species." Sari said from her perch on Bee's shoulder.
"Humans are what they liked to be called." Hound said. Jazz nodded and Minerva stopped taking notes.
"They seemed like an angry bunch." She said.
"Maybe that's because you almost blasted their ears off?" Sari said.
"I didn't fire a single shot at them!" Jazz said indignantly. "
All I did was say "hello" and they panicked!" Hound, Sari, and Bee all exchanged looks. They'd hoped that the humans had just freaked out at seeing them.
This however, confirmed some of their fears.
"Natural Cybertronian is...pretty much impossible for them to understand." Sari said.
"We've had to learn Earth's languages just to get to understand us." Hound said.
"So, just give me the download and I'll go back and clear the matter up.:" Jazz held out his hand with a grin.
Hound, Sari, and Bee all stared at the hand and then back at Jazz. Jazz sighed before retracting his hand.
"It was meant as a joke.."
"Yeah...but there's more to this than just that.." Sari trailed off.
"We're kind of trying to not interact with humans a lot…"
Jazz and Minerva both blinked. Ironhide just arched an eyebrow and crossed his arms.
'"I thought you guys had some allies on this world?" Jazz looked at the three, confusion spreading across his face.
"We do have human friends, but we don't know how the rest will react to us yet." Hound explained.
"This is why we've scanned Earth modes to help us blend in, so that way we can hide."
Ironhide scowled this time. If it was to hide from the Decepticons then he understood. But the humans!?
The missiles that were fired on him might as well have rocks. He stood up and then walked over, glaring at them all.
"You're all hiding from the humans, their weaponry can barely leave a dent in my armor"
"We're also hiding from the Decepticons." Sari stated. Ironhide sneered in response.
"Trust me kid, the cons can detect energon signatures light-years away with the Nemesis." He looked at them all.
Terrified looks began to cross the faces of them all, except for Jazz.
"I think you're exaggerating a bit there Hide." He said, gesturing to them all. "We're not all built as tough as you."
"I just don't see a reason to hide like a coward." Ironhide said. Hound felt, and looked, like he's just been slapped. Bumblebee scowled at him and Minerva just shook her head.
"There is nothing on this planet that can hurt me!"
Ironhide suddenly found himself eating his words, and the dirt. A pair of missiles slammed into his back and sent him flying.
He crashed down into some trees and rolled a few feet before coming to a stop.
"Are you sure about that?" Sari quipped.
"Let's worry about that later, we've got incoming!" Hound shouted.
A barrage of other missiles flew at them at full speed. They all scattered as the missiles slammed into the ground.
Bumblebee rolled and charged his stingers. He shot an electrical blast in the direction the missiles had come from. The blast lit up the sky, showing a pair of jets flying overhead.
"Looks like those humans know how to punch." Jazz said.
Further conversation was interrupted as an APC carrier burst through the trees. Hound had studied human military vehicles and knew what they looked like
This "Boxer" was different though. It was mostly white with grey camouflage. Not the terrain it was built for, or the colors.
"I don't think these are humans!" Hound shouted.
"Got that right Autobot!" the APC jumped and shifted into the towering form of Wreckage.
"We were in the neighborhood, and thought we'd say hello." He chuckled, then extended a pair of red blades.
He swung them at Minerva, who jumped aside while the blades cut into a tree. Wreckage yanked them out, only to receive a nasty jolt.
He turned to see Bumblebee making some boxing moves. Wreckage stared at the small bot in amusement. If this bot had a death wish, then what kind of Decepticon would he bet to not grant it?
He thrust his blade toward Bee's chest. Bumblebee proved faster however. With one fluid motion, he caught the blade with his own.
Wreckage tried to bring down his other blade, but Bumblebee ducked just in time. Wreckage's blades crashed together.
Bumblebee then jumped and punched Wreckage in the chest. Wreckage stumbled backwards and into a tree.
Jazz fired his grappling hook and it wrapped around Wreckage's legs and the tree. He pulled the line, snapping the tree in half.
It and Wreckage went rolling down the hillside. Wreckage roared in fury as he fell. He quickly dug his blades into the hillside, stopping his descent.
The Autobots had little time to celebrate their small victory. The two jets had looped around were coming in for another attack.
"Looks like Ironhide was right about the cons tracking us." Hound said. Ironhide didn't say anything.
He instead jumped up and punched the jet nearest to him. The jet went wild for a second and then transformed. Much to the Autobots surprise, it was a jet Vehicon.
"Of course it's the Vehicons!" Ironhide bemoaned.
The other jet transformed into a Vehicon as well, landing just behind Hound and Bumblebee.
Sparing little time, both Vehicons opened fire at the Autobots. Ironhide raced forward, shots bouncing off his armor.
He threw a punch into the head of the Vehicon. As it fell, Ironhide sent his fist into the drone's chest.
The other Vehicons ran to aid his comrade. Only for Hound to kick its legs out and punch it. Before it hit the ground, Bumblebee was on it.
He stabbed his blades into its back, giving it a massive shock. The Vehicons still under assault from Ironhide, fired its weapon toward Bumblebee.
Several shots struck Bumblebee in the side, distracting him momentarily. This allowed the Vehicon attacking him to throw him off.
Before it could get to its feet, Jazz kicked it. His wheel feet spun and dug into its faceplate.
The Vehicon screamed in pain and clawed at Jazz's leg. Jazz yelped and kicked the Vehicon once more.
Ironhide finished off the Vehicon he was fighting by slamming his fist through its chest. It sputtered for a few seconds, then went offline.
He picked it up, and hurled it toward his companion. It crashed into the Vehicon getting to its feet, knocking it into the rocks.
With a sickening "crunch" the Vehicons neck cables severed from the impact.
"So much for the "backbone of the Decepticon army." Jazz chuckled.
"Why only send two though?" Minerva questioned. Bumblebee looked up and his optics went wide.
Hound looked in that direction as well and his jaw dropped.
"To soften us up for that!" He pointed and the others looked. In the sky swarmed dozens of cybertronian jets.
In the middle of the swarm, a blue apache helicopter hovered. A white and Red F-22 shot past it and fired rockets at the Autobots.
This was a sign for the other Vehicons to start the attack. A slew of laser fire, missiles, and rockets came down on the Autobots position.
None of them were able to get away in time.
The barrage hit the ground and the Autobots. Kicking up dirt rocks, and explosions. Autobots, ex cons and rocks all went flying from the force of the blasts.
Jazz wrapped his grappler around a tree, grabbing Sari as he fell. The line went taut and Jazz hit the side of the hill.
Bumblebee followed what Wreckage had done, digging his blades into the hillside. Ironhide, Minerva and Hound were not so lucky.
Hound was sent falling right into Wreckage, throwing both of them backwards. Wreckage scowled and tried to stab Hound through the spark.
Hound kicked back, sending Wreckage crashing, back first, into the ground. Hound flipped overhead, right into the gunfire of the Vehicons.
A roar filled the valley as they raced toward the Autobots. One of them transformed and tackled Hound back into the ground.
Ironhide grabbed two that came near him and then bashed them together. They both transformed into robot mode, where Ironhide uppercut them.
Minerva had fallen all the way into the valley and was getting to her feet. Her arm sensor began to go off and she flipped it open.
Before he could get a good look however, she felt a sharp pain in her side. She went to her knees in shock and turned around.
"Remember me "nurse?" Starscream mocked as he pulled his claws out from her side.
"I'm looking to repay you for this." He pointed to his facial scar and scowled. Any kind of Jazz like quip Minerva had died in her gasps.
Starscreams wound hadn't been fatal, but it wasn't helping her energon situation. Thinking quickly, Minerva activated her blow torch and moved toward Starscreams face.
Starscream grabbed the torches neck with his hand.
"Not this time!"
Minerva had other plans though, and moved it to the flame ended up burning Starscreams wrist. Starscream let go and screamed in pain. Allowing Minerva to kick him, right into the path of the falling Hound.
Hound knocked Starscream into the ground and landed on his back.
"Thanks for breaking my fall M-hey are you alright?" He asked.
"I'm fine, just get up before-" Minerva tried to warn but it was too late. Starscream activated his jets and burst upwards.
He grabbed Hound's arm and squeezed it.
"You little Autobot scrap pile!" He hissed. "I'm going to show you what happens when you mess with Starscream!"
He pointed his null ray into Hound's chin and began charging his shot. Hound struggled to free himself. At this range the shot would obliterate his head.
Minerva reached into her subspace and grabbed her wrenches. Her internal computer screamed at her the word she didn't want to hear.
"Warning, Stasis Lock imminent, Energon levels at 10%"
Wasting no time, Minerva threw her tools at Starscream with all her might. Her wrenches smacked into Starscreams arm.
Starscream chuckled and then turned to face her...only then did the next wrench strike his already scarred face.
He let out a cry of pain, and threw Hound aside. Hound took the chance and drew his weapon. He opened fire, blasting Starscreams leg thrusters
Starscream gave a shrill cry as they gave out. He smashed into the ground, his legs sparking from the damage.
"You little scrap heap!" He pounced ready to destroy Minerva. He flew into her, and then into the tree behind her.
Hound turned off the hologram as Starscreams moan of pain reached his audios. He looked back toward Minerva, whose body had partially shut down.
"Are you alright Minerva?" He asked.
"Low on energon..stasis lock.." She moaned. "Jazz and Ironhide..not much better."
Hounds' optics went wide and he reached into his subspace. He pulled out the case of energon and then looked toward Minerva.
"Are you're energon lines still working?" He asked.
Minerva was unable to answer before Wreckage crashed into Hound. Bumblebee and Sari had attacked him shortly after Hound had fallen. Both of them were riding on Wreckage's back let out a "whoop" as they sailed downward. The case of Energon spilled open as they all crashed.
Hound had barely managed to avoid Wreckages crashing form and gave Bumblebee a look.
"Sorry" Sari said meekly.
"We need to get the energon to the others." Hound raced toward the case. "They're low on fuel and if they're about to go into stasis."
Right as Hound reached the case, something slashed against the side of his head.
He staggered and looked as Laserbeak came around for another blow. He ducked as the bird flew overhead.
"Something tells me that that's not going to be easy." Sari said as she and Bee ran up.
They were unable to say another word as Laserbeak flew in low and then opened fire. The Autobots moved to all block the shots. Hound then noticed however, that the shots were not aiming for them.
"He's shooting at the case!"
They didn't have any time to react before the case exploded. The blast threw all three Autobots into the sky.
The blast caused systems overloads within all three, which knocked them out instantly. Minerva let out a gasp before her systems flashed their final warning.
Stasis lock snapped in quickly, in order to prevent her spark from fading.
Jazz and Ironhide were still up top, fighting off the Vehicons. Jazz threw one toward Ironhide, who smashed it out of the sky.
Both of them had been caught near the top of the hill, and were being forced to fight their way downhill.
One wrong step and they would go tumbling. Ironhide didn't have any weapons, so he just used his bare fists.
Jazz on the other hand, still had some weapon access and rained down weapons fire. Several; Vehicons were blasted back into their allies.
"I'm running low on Energon!" Jazz called out. Both of their systems began to flash critical warnings. Ironhide brushed off the warnings as he bashed two Vehicons skulls together.
"We'll worry about that once we've got these cons beaten to kingdom come!" He shouted.
"That's not going to happen if we-"
Jazz's sentence was cut off when a laser blast struck him in the back, already low on energon. His system couldn't take the shock.
As Jazz tumbled, his body went into stasis lock. Ironhide watched as Jazz tumbled downhill.
"Typical Autobots, can barely take a hit." Ironhide grumbled.
A fist connected to the back of his head, sending him reeling forward. Ironhide turned to see Soundwave standing behind him.
"Hello Ironhide."
Ironhide, while thrown off guard, tried to keep himself calm..
"I would have thought Megatron would be here to taunt me." He said.
"He is too sentimental over you, that is why I am taking matters into my own servos."
"Aww, did I make the bucket head upset?" Ironhide mocked, causing Soundwave's glare to darken.
"I had nothing to do with the assassination." Ironhide stated. "You and I both know that."
"But instead of working with me, you ran and joined the Autobots." Soundwave brought his weapon closer to Ironhide's face.
"I was set to die to same day that Hound freed me!"
"None of that matters now Ironhide, what matter is where you and I are standing." Soundwave said.
"Right now, you are the only Autobot standing between a total Decepticon victory." Soundwave fired his weapon point blank into Ironhide's face.
Ironhide screamed as the blast struck him. He stumbled and Soundwave fired again.
"I thank you for your years of service to the cause; but now you must be removed."
Ironhide's systems began to flash,. Warning him of the imminent stasis lock.
Nevertheless, he tired to fight back. He threw a punch that connected with Soundwave's torso. Soundwave rocked on his heels and responded by punching Ironhide in the face. Ironhide reeled as Soundwave activated his shoulder rockets.
In a burst of flame it was all over.
Ironhide's body fell down the mountainside, crashing all the way down. Past the stunned Vehicon troops and Wreckage.
He hit the ground right next to Hound, and there he lay as his body welcomed stasis lock.
Soundwave looked down at the defeated Autobots. No energon to bring them out of stasis lock, and he was confident their damages would help keep them offline.
Starscream and Wreckage both crawled up to his position, Starscream grumbling about his injuries the whole time.
"So now what do we do?" He asked.
"We pull out and leave them." Soundwave said.
"You can't be serious, they could-"
"Starscream, take a good look at them." Soundwave pointed at the wrecked Autobots.
"They are wounded, too damaged to continue and in stasis." He looked toward Starscream and Wreckage coldly. "There's no one to revive them this time, no doubt the humans will also help in their demise."
"We leave them to their fate and go back to the ship.." He said and began to walk away, assessing the troops lost in the battle.
"Well that was fun while it lasted." Wreckage grumbled while walking off.
"I guess there's no fighting left to do on this rock." He walked off with the damaged Vehicons, who were unable to take to the air.
Starscream looked up as the rest of the troops flew towards the Nemesis. In spite of his injuries, a smile crept across his face.
Soundwave hadn't noticed the camera he'd had planted underneath his null rays. The feed of which was programmed right back into the Decepticon warship.
While he may have been injured, Starscream took delight in what he'd done. Once Soundwave took his fall, only Megatron himself would stand in his way..
He was going to relish every second of what would unfold back at the Nemesis.
One hour later.
Fowler and Iott scanned the area as the soldiers directed the EAT cranes. Finding the battle site was easy as it'd been seen for miles around.
"Looks like a big alien throw down happened here." Fowler whistled, checking a scorch mark left by a blaster.
"kinda bovius who won in the end though." Iott watched as Bumblebee was hauled from the valley. He walked over, looking over Bumblebee's frame. His eyes went wide when he saw his insignia.
"Fowler, do you see this?" He motioned him over. Fowler came running and peered at the insignia.
Well I'll be the rear of the democratic donkey." He said. "Looks like our big rig in the basements got friends!"
I totally planned that ending differently but I wanted it to be a cliffhanger :p.
Next chapter, the human cast discovers how deep the rabbit hole goes. Megatron confronts Soundwave this mission; and we discover where the last two members of the Autobot crew are...
Till next time!
