(Thundercracker)
I tried to stand up as I woke up. I then realized that damage that I used to have was gone. I stood up easily. Looking around me I saw Skywarp a few feet away. We were in some large forest. Other than him I saw many of our allies.
Dirge, Starscream, Thrust, Ramjet, Soundwave, the cassettes, Hook, Bonecrusher, Mixmaster, Scrapper, Long-Haul, Scavenger, Astrotrain, Blitzwing, Shrapnel, Bombshell, Kickback, Brawl, Onslaught, Blast-off, Swindle, Vortex, Starscream, my leader Megatron, Shockwave, Dead End, Drag Strip, Motor Master, Break Down, Wildrider, Runabout, Runamuck, and some younger warriors that I didn't now.
But, I also saw the forms of many Autobots. These included Optimus Prime, Ironhide who was somehow alive, same with Prowl, Brawn, and Ratchet, Hound, Windcharger, Wheeljack, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Blaster, Blaster's cassettes, Mirage, Jazz, a new Autobot named Hot Rod, another new one named Arcee, Bluestreak, Gears, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, and Huffer who I had killed.
I turned around to see if there was anyone behind me and I only saw two people. Glory and Angelfire. They, like everyone else, were in stasis lock.
I sighed as I kneeled down to Skywarp to wake him up. He woke up instantly. He jumped to his feet and pointed his arm cannons at me, obviously thinking I was a threat.
"Oh, its you TC. Don't scare me like that!"
"Sorry. I just wanted to wake you up."
"Oh. Son of a glitch, look at all the people Thundercracker!" Skywarp yells hastily.
"Yeah, but there are also Autobots," I heard some groaning coming from where the Autobots were, "and I think your screaming woke them up."
Ironhide and Prowl stood up. They took a look at their surrounding's and saw that we were up too. Prowl was angry about the shuttle incident and pulled out his guns.
"Oh slag." A laser blast was coming right at me. I jumped over it thanks to the jet booster sin my feet.
I took a shot at the police car while Ironhide aimed at Skywarp. Skywarp dodged the shot from Ironhide while I Prowl dodged mine. By now all of the sleeping competitors had awaken and started to rise. Starscream and Jazz were fighting hand to hand while Dirge had taken Bluestreak on at long range.
Megatron was about to shoot Brawn, but Optimus shot him from behind.
"Prime!"
"One shall stand, one shall fall."
"Why throw your life away so recklessly?"
"That's a question you should be asking YOURSELF Megatron."
Megatron was angry and was about to shoot him when he lowered his cannon.
"NO! I'll crush you with my bare hands!" He jumped at Prime and they both fell to the ground. I was entertained by this. Prowl ha also stopped to investigate.
"Take him down Megatron!" I yelled to the two combatants. By now, most of the all out brawl had momentarily stopped. The two continued to fight equally for awhile, but my concentration on the fight ended with a shot hitting me right in the back of my face.
I turned to see Prowl smiling and his gun smoking. I was angry and decided to take another shot at him. I continued to rapidly fire my weapons as the battle between all Autobots and Decepticons resumed.
I saw Mirage and Warpath fighting Bombshell with Bombshell barely taking the two on at the same time. He was just getting abused.
Shrapnel was getting hurt badly by Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, Eject, and Rewind. He was shocking them all off of him whenever they gang tackled him, but he began to succumb to his injuries.
Kickback was having a bad day. He was knocked over by Hot Rod and then run over by Hot Rod and Trailbreaker. His head was crushed.
Skywarp was blasted point blank by Ironhide and went flying back into a tree. When he hit the tree it toppled over on him. (Author's Note: The trees on this planet are twice the size of any Transformers. Thank you for your time.)
I ran to help him as I saw two missiles come flying from Bluestreak right at Skywarp and I. One missile hit Skywarp's body directly while the other blew up right next to me.
Through the smoke I saw a figure and since it was near where Bluestreak just was, I figured it was the slagging mech who just nearly killed Skywarp and I. I saw the robot fall as my shot hit it.
When the smoke cleared I saw it was none other than Angelfire, my old friend. While I was stunned, Hot Rod took the chance to slash me with an energy sword of his. The slash hit me in the side. Caught off-guard, he was able to slash me again, this time across my shoulder. I tried to punch him, but he stabbed me in the side. Trying to finish me, he pulled the sword out and stabbed me in my stomach.
Using this as an advantage, I pulled him closer to me and I shot the mech point blank in his chest. He fell backwards while his sword remained in me. I pulled it out slowly and took a glance at the battle between Megatron and Prime.
'They are squabbling like siblings.' I think silently when I hear their little conversations.
I turn to take a shot at Blaster who was sneaking up on me. He fell backwards and I decided to take to the sky. I transformed into my F-15 alternate mode and watched as Dirge, Thrust, Ramjet, and Starscream take flight too.
We form two squadrons. Starscream and being one and the three coneheads being the other. Normally Skywarp would be in Starscream and my squadron, but he was too hurt to take flight.
Bluestreak, Prowl, Ratchet, and Ironhide all turned to fire at us while we strafed and fired down on them. Thrust was hit by a lucky shot and he fell down into the forest. His burning body set some trees on fire. He tried to stand, but found himself unable.
A missile flew up at us and started to follow Ramjet. It was catching up on him and got closer by the second. He did rolls, flips and every other trick in the book, but it eventually caught him and he caught flame. He started t spiral down, but instead of crashing, he aimed at the group of Autobots aiming at us. He crashed between all of them, causing them to scramble.
We continued to fire at the Autobots below us when a blast suddenly hit my side. I noticed Dirge had just been hit too because he was leaking fluids and starting to catch fire. He transformed and landed safely a little ways away. I realized that it had been a missile to hit me because Bluestreak was out in the open with a limp arm firing more at me. I noticed that there were many coming too late as one hit me.
This lead me into a downward spiral out of control as another missile tears my wing apart. Another hits me directly in the cockpit while another shreds my tailfins. All around me missiles hit me one by one as more and more Autobots like Hound and Wheeljack fired at me. Twelve more missiles hit me before I crash into the ground. I slowly and painfully transform into my robot mode.
I feel someone start to pick my arm up. Soon, they lifted my whole body and put my arm around their neck. I open my right optic to see its Glory. I felt relief as I see that she's perfectly intact and fine. Just to be sure, I ran a scan on her. It would tell me everything about her, and probably tell me about what she had been up to recently. Too bad I didn't have this device that I got when I joined the Decepticon elites, when I was taking care of her. It would've helped when she was sick and etc. I was as excited as I could be at the moment in my condition. I hadn't seen her in more than four thousand years after all.
The small report that I got read:
Subject: Glory
Species: Cybertronian
Family: Decepticon Creator Piston, Decepticon Creator Windblade, Decepticon Uncle Thundercracker
Summary:…
I stopped reading and just stopped thinking for a second. I remembered what the orphanage had said to me. "We found the sparkling near the remains of a femme here in Tyger Pax after the attack. The officials have identified the femme as Windblade…"
'Why the HELL didn't I think of that before. Does she even know.' My face expression changed from slightly happy to a slight frown.
"Come on Uncle T, let's get going." She said to me while I simply turned to her, "You obviously know by now that I'm your niece. Your expression gives it away. Now let's get moving. Come on!"
I started to walk slowly as she helped me. I was just stunned.
"I only found out a thousand years ago myself. So, just get over it and get going." She said to me. This kind of relaxed me, but still. I had raised my own niece without realizing it.
We walked over to Skywarp's body. He was trying to stand and just barely finished doing so. We forgot all about the war around us until a blaster shot whined and I saw Glory fall. I fell without any support, but I was able to stand this time on my own.
I looked down and kneeled down next to her. She was fine, but she was just slightly wounded and unconscious. I then remembered something.
"Skywarp, can you pick up Glory?"
"Pick up who?"
I pointed to my unconscious niece, "Her. Pick her up and get her some help. I have to go somewhere at the moment."
"Sure, but how do you know who she is?"
"She's my niece."
Skywarp's expression was priceless, "WHAT! You have a niece! Man, I didn't know you had a brother or sister!"
"I'll talk to you about it later. Just get her some help." I say sternly to him.
"Alright, but where are you going?" He asks me quizzically.
"Doesn't matter. Just go."
He picked up my niece slowly and he showed great signs of pain. I turned and started to head over to the person who I accidentally shot earlier. Angelfire lay on the ground with a blaster mark on her stomach. I noticed she must have been trampled by someone or some people during the brawl as she had boot-marks all over her body.
I picked her up and she slowly regained consciousness. She gave a slight smile and looked at me.
"Hey TC. Here you are, saving me again." She says weakly.
"Well, I wouldn't need to save you if I hadn't shot you."
"I know you didn't mean to TC. You were blinded by the some and just thought that I was someone else."
I didn't have a reply to that. I just started to try and get to some cover. I needed to sit down WITHOUT being shot.
On my way to a set of trees and bushes, I saw Megatron stand up with a gun in his hands while Optimus Prime was kneeling on the ground.
"I would've waited an eternity for this. It's over Prime." Optimus looked up at Megatron. Right as Megatron fired; he brought his arms up and hit Megatron one last time.
"NEVER!" He was thrown backwards by the blast, while Megatron went flying into a tree. A large crack could be heard and Megatron could not stand. Soundwave rushed over to him and picked our leader up before anyone could do anything.
"Astrotrain, we're leaving. Decepticons! Retreat!" Starscream yelled to everyone as he landed next to Astrotrain and boarded him.
Soundwave, with Megatron, went aboard with his cassettes before practically anyone else. Skywarp managed to limp over there with Glory in his arms. Many more Decepticons that weren't wounded that badly were able to get aboard. Bombshell was helping his two friends Shrapnel and Kickback aboard.
I slowly get there and get aboard. I just made it because right after I sat down with my friends, I heard Starscream yell, "Astrotrain, TAKE OFF!"
Astrotrain then took off, leaving the unlucky Decepticons who didn't make it aboard to die. I sighed. I could tell that today was going to be a long day.
We had escaped from the Autobots. We were currently in space trying to hide from the Autobot's radar and sensor systems. Luckily, Astrotrain had doubled as an escape vehicle from the Autobots.
I was currently extremely damaged and was only standing on sheer will-power. I looked to my side to see the young Autobot who once was a friend and I had just nearly killed her accidentally. Angelfire was extremely injured and I was lucky that no-one asked about the Autobot in the shuttle.
Standing next to me was Glory who I had just learned was my niece. She was a Decepticon just like me, but I wished she hadn't followed my dark path. She too was hurt from the battle with the Autobots. She had woken up a few minutes ago and was still groggy.
On the other side of me was my best friend Skywarp. He had wounds that could be fatal if they weren't treated soon enough. He was barely standing just like me.
In front of was the Insecticons. They all were extremely injured to the point that standing hurt. Shrapnel was on one knee and was helping keep the nearly dead Kickback up. Bombshell was in the best condition, but he was still hurt.
Megatron was nearby us and he was just slouched against the wall. He seemed to want his space and I gave it to him. He was defeated and broken.
I heard the voice of Astrotrain through his speakers, "Hey guys, we are carrying way too much weight. If this keeps up we'll never get to a safe place to land. Can you guys lose some extra weight please?"
I noticed someone stand up and I could hear that it was Starscream, "Fellow Decepticons, Astrotrain has asked us to lighten our burden," he said with a sinister tone.
"I say it I survival of the fittest!" I heard Bonecrusher yell.
(When the battle is through, only the strong will survive)
My mind began to race as to what was going to happen. 'If it is only the most fit than all my friends and I are…I can't let that happen…'
"Do I hear a second on that?" Starscream asked..
"Aye!" Yelled all of the healthy Decepticons like Soundwave and Dirge.
"And Against?" Starscream asked.
'Naayyyy…" I aid along with Skywarp, Bombshell, Kickback, and Shrapnel. Glory and Angelfire simply raised their hands.
"The Aye's have it!" Starscream said happily. He walked over to the door of Astrotrain and he opened it.
"Move!" Ramjet yelled.
"Make room for others!" Thrust yelled.
"Get!" Bonecrusher said while heading towards all of us injured Decepticons. Unlucky us, the door was right behind us and it opened up when Starscream pressed a button on the side of Astrotrain.
I had a special gift called the warrior's spirit and it barely ever was in effect. When I use it, I gain unlimited strength and endurance. It only happens though when I am motivated by something though. It has never happened before now though. Today something happened that would change me forever.
A blaster shot sounded a flashed through the ship. Next I saw my friend Skywarp start to fall backwards out of the shuttle. Before I could grab him, he fell into the darkness of space.
Next I saw Kickback and Shrapnel get kicked out quickly afterwards. I couldn't take it.
I ran at the person who had shot Skywarp. It was some regular seeker that I didn't know the name of. It didn't matter though. Because the next thing that happened was his dismembered head falling to the floor.
Someone shot me in my back. I turned and jumped at another seeker that was just a normal soldier. My arm had punched a hole through him by the time I had activated my arm cannon, disintegrating all behind it. Many more normal Decepticons that I didn't know the names of perished.
I was shot again in the back, this time by Starscream. Next to him were Thrust and Ramjet. Both of the two coneheads opened fire on me. Behind them I saw Bombshell make a futile attempt to stay onboard while all the Constructicons attacked him. He soon fell into the darkness of space too.
Only Angelfire, Glory, Megatron and I were left. I didn't care about myself, but I did care about my friends and family. I would do anything to make sure that they survived.
I fell onto one knee as the open fire stopped. Starscream walked over to my defeated and broken body.
"How do you feel mighty Thundercracker?" He said sadistically. He then kicked me in the face. I remained on one knee though.
I saw Angelfire take out her cannon and shoot at Thrust. He fell to the ground pretty quickly with a smoke trail coming off of him. She turned around and pointed it at Ramjet and shot him multiple times till he fell. She then pointed it at Starscream.
"Starscream…agghhh…why are..yo..ou..doing th..iiss?" I ask painfully.
"Trash like you wouldn't understand. Now, if your two little friends there want to stay aboard, they will have to kill you. Whoever kills him gets to stay aboard little girls, so let's see who has the courage to do it. If you two are unable to kill him, you both die." He threw a gun between the two girls. This was not going well.
Angelfire pointed the gun at me, but didn't fire.
(Someone told me love
would all save us.)
(But how can that be?)
(Look what love gave
us.)
"Go ahead, do it. I have nothing to lose." I say to my friend. She had a life to live while this was my time to die.
She lowered the gun and then threw it out of the ship threw the same door that my friends had been thrown out it. She gasped and I saw why. She had gotten rid of the offer so that Starscream stayed true to his offer and began to kill them. Angelfire had an energy sword going straight through where her spark is.
He grabbed onto her limp body and threw it out of the ship. Next, he turned to my niece Glory.
He turned to Ramjet and nodded his head. Then he turned to Glory, "Time to die weakling."
Glory shook her head no and was met with a shot to the stomach by Ramjet who had stood back up by now. Thrust grabbed onto her and threw her into space.
I was caught off-guard because of the shock I was in, but it ended when the Constructicons all shot at me at the same time. Their combined shots formed a laser cut into me and made me fall forwards.
Starscream simply picked my body up and threw me into the darkness that had claimed all of my friends. "Good-bye Thundercracker."
The last I saw of him was him heading over to Megatron and throwing him too out into space.
In was floating in space with all my friends and allies. I still wasn't dead. I was instead drifting without any control of where the hell I was going.
That was when I saw a large light. That light would change my damn life forever.
