"Kill me? They wouldn't kill me. They need me."
"Sarah, listen. I know the Decepticons. They will kill you."
"You're full of it."
"Fine, don't believe me. But I came to get you out of here and I'm going to do just that."
The armor slid over his body again and he transformed back into the head of the mighty transformer. The car transformed back into the body and the two connected. Just then he walked past here and knocked on the door. Ramjet opened the door and Shortstop aimed his arm lasers at his face and fired. Ramjet's face exploded and his lifeless body fell to the ground. Dirge fired his weapon at him but Shortstop avoided the photon blasts and ran up to Dirge and punched him in the face. Then, he fired his arm laser and hit him in the neck. He fell to the ground aswell. Shortstop faced Sarah, who was still standing in the cell. He aimed both of his arm lasers down both corridors waiting for more Decepticons to arrive.
"Come on I need an answer."
"Do I have a choice?"
"Of course you have a choice. If you want you can to back to your quarters and forget we ever spoke.
Sarah walked out of the cell and up to Shortstop.
"Let's get one thing straight. I still hate you."
"I know."
Shortstop walked over to Prowl's cell and let him out. They all ran down the corridors looking for a way out. Sarah led them to the entry hatch. Then they stood there in horror. Runabout was stuck to the hatch. He had a metal rod shoved though his chest plate.
"Can't get out that way."
Just then, Thrust and Shockwave fired at them. Prowl and Shortstop returned fire. They were held behind a corner, unable to go anywhere. Finally, Megatron showed up. He was impressed by the maneuver they had just pulled.
"Impressive, Shortstop. But it won't help you."
Shortstop peeked around the corner to see how many Decepticons were there. There were about 10 or 12 that he saw.
"I can't shoot around corners." Prowl said.
"I can." Shortstop said as he pulled out his spoiler and activated the boomerang sequence. He threw it around the corner. It took out Shockwave, Thrust, Pounce, Wingspan, Kickback, Bombshell and Shrapnel. The boomerang returned to him. While this was going on, Sarah was looking at him.
"Just leave me here, I'll convince them to let you go just as long as I stay."
"I came here to get you and I'm not leaving without you."
Sarah looked at him as if there was something different about him. Shortstop noticed her staring at him.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"We need a diversion." Prowl said.
"I have one." Shortstop said as he punched the wall.
"What good will that do?" Sarah asked.
"Just watch."
Shortstop pulled out a chunk of the wall. The chunk was about as big as his hand. He just held it there. Then, the chunk started to glow. He then threw it around the corner and it exploded. Smoke filled the corridor. The three of them took off running, while Shortstop fired down the corridor with his arm lasers. Then finally they had gotten away from them.
"Alright we need a door. Let's make a door."
Shortstop pulled out his spoiler and used it as a sword. He shoved it through the wall and made a huge gaping hole in it. The two of them transformed and left. To Dustin's surprise Sarah had gotten into his car. As soon as they were clear, Dustin activated his comm. link.
"Starscream, we are clear. You are good to go."
Starscream and the other Autobots flew and drove around Iacon. They each laid Energon explosives around the building. They all took off and then detonated them. The building collapsed and with all of the Decepticons inside. All that was left of Iacon was debris and a big cloud of dust and smoke.
