Welcome back to 'If Only It Was Over' sorry that I had to make it two part but it got sooooo long that I couldn't keep going but I'm right back on track. Let's see we left off with Maple, Inspire, and Varsity having a face to face encounter with Megatron himself. *shivers* feel sorry for those three now don't ya? Now Oracle and Lennox have to figure out how to get the girls out of that situation before they do something drastic, or before Megatron finds out about their 'situation'. Or both! Will the girl's meet their ultimate doom? Read on and find out!
The way the girl's saw it they only had about four options, 1. scream 2. run 3. scream and run 4. stay quiet and wait for their doom. Only question is...which was less painful?
"Soundwave do these three soldiers have the spark fragments?", he asked through com link but also out loud making the girls shiver and stiffen as they realized just how much the Cons might know about them.
'Crap this isn't good', Maple thought as she itched toward her gun quietly making slowly movement hoping to not draw anyone's attention. 'If I can just reach for my gun then maybe we can run...', she thought trying to think of anyway the could possibly get out of this alive.
According to my sensors they hold possession to them...Soundwave answered in his normal monotone vocals making Megatron grinning in a way that would freeze your very blood as you watched him.
"The Autobots must have chipped off some pieces in case any of their comrade in arms fell to your power Lord Megatron", Starscream said to him in his usual sniveling way. But Megatron paid no attention to him as he gazed at the girls taking in the data that streamed from his scans as he watched them closely.
"Alright hand over the All Spark fragments and I'll make your death's as painless as possible", he told the girls in a bone chilling voice while he really had no intention of doing it it wasn't like they were going to have much of a chance. They didn't move all they could do is look at each other hoping that the other had an idea anything that could possibly get them out of this mess.
"Uhh yeah Mister Death machine sir", Inspire said waving at him getting his attention. "We don't have these All Spark fragments you guys think we have I swear to you we don't physically have them so we can't really give you something we don't have."
They are lying...Soundwave said to Megatron. All Spark energy is radiating off of them...they must have them my sensors do not lie. Soundwave's voice even if it was lacking anything to start with, it sounded bored with this and wanted it to be done with.
"Don't even try to lie to I, lord Megatron, you worthless pieces of flesh", Megatron hissed at them his tempter starting to wear thin he didn't like fleshlings to start with he had no reason to keep his calm now. "Either hand over the fragments or suffer a fate worse then death!" He glanced at Soundwave and smirked slightly, Soundwave could make things so much worse for these girls and he never had to try.
Meanwhile Oracle and Lennox finally found the girls...only they found them too late as they hid on the apartment fire escape. "Ok the way I see it we only got two options one, we cause a distraction and give the girls a chance to run. Two, we get the girls attention have them cause a distraction then we come attack, and run like hell. Which sounds better?", he asked just as Oracle peeked her head over the apartment ledge and tried to get the girl's attention. "Option two is it then", he said as he readied his gun careful to make a sound as he watched Oracle try to get the girls' attention.
Maple looked around with her eyes trying to find some way to escape that was when she saw Oracle and had to resist sighing with relief. Oracle was giving her a signal and it took her a bit to see till she got it, she repeated a course action first she would show 2 fingers, then 3 then 5 and repeated. Plan 235 aka shoot and run. Maple elbowed Inspire and slightly motioned to Inspire she did the same to Varsity and both saw the signal. Inspire had to resist from grinning as she coughed and sighed.
"Ok, ok you got us", she said to Megatron pulling up her hands in surrender and put one into her pocket she made it look like she was grabbing something then brought it back out as an enclosed fist. "I have all three of them...please just make it quick once I give them to you", she said making her voice shaky.
"Wise choice human", Megatron said laughing in victory as he got closer ready to take what he thought was the shards, but as soon as he got close enough Inspire's hand's glowed orange as she jumped and punched him hard in the face plate. She then quickly ducked and rolled out of the way as both Varsity and Inspire shot at Megatron. He screamed a bit as one of those shots hit his left Optic, giving Varsity and Maple the chance to bolt like hell. "Starscream...get them!", he ordered the seeker.
Starscream knew he would face Megatron's wrath if he didn't get the humans quickly took off after them and just as he was about to grab Varsity Oracle and Lennox sprinted onto the roof and fired a large amount of rounds at Starscream, the Seeker wasn't able to see and back away but he took one step too many and trip over the apartment edge falling down the building too fast for him to transform landing hard onto the concrete ground.
"GO! GO! GO!", Lennox cried as he lead them down the fire escape and followed behind but not before Oracle stole a glance at Megatron she looked at him and time seemed to stop as he looked at her and eyed the one thing she wanted to hide. She held her breath tightly and took off not taking another glance.
Megatron growled as he fixed his Optic it took all but 5 minutes but he knew by then the humans would be long gone by now, but he was more focused on another matter that he thought wasn't even possible. "Soundwave", he said sending out a com link.
Yes Lord Megatron?
"I am sending you images of four humans, analyze them and report to me when you have found anything that is abnormal for that species...I think we have stumbled on something interesting and an abomination", he said as he got up, transformed, and flew off.
Lennox, Oracle, Varsity, Inspire, and Maple ran like a bat out of a hell as far away as possible from the Decepticons, it took them awhile till they finally found a decent hiding place a casino that didn't fall pray to the battle of the outside world, they all slammed the door behind them and panted heavily, sweat rolling down their foreheads. "That...was...too...close", Will said through panted breath. "Be glad...I'm too tired to yell at you", he told the girls but managed to work up a half scowl to prove his point.
"You should be glad...", Varsity panted. "That we are too tired...to argue back...when you yell at us", she said making the other's laugh a bit in between breaths till finally it seemed like everyone's heart rate was somewhat back to normal.
"Ok Major what's the plan now?", Inspire asked excited obviously she had a major adrenaline rush from her encounter with the D-Cons and had been looking for more action.
"The plan now is to get you girls back to the jeep where Wheelie here will watch you", he told them as the tiny ex-con rolled in and changed from alt-mode to full-mode his voice a testament to the fact that he was not thrilled with them.
Maple, Varsity, and Inspire looked at Wheelie then looked at the Major then looked back at Wheelie then again at the Major, "No seriously..."
Wheelie fumed as he waved his fist at the girls, "How what's the big idea's huh? What are you too good for me or something?", he cried. The three of them just looked at him blankly before they answered.
"Yeah pretty much...", they answered in unison serious, making Wheelie even more furious. Lennox and Oracle couldn't help but chuckle under their breath as mad as they were it was just too funny. Lennox then was about to give orders until a large explosion erupted behind them and bursts of hot air swept over them all, followed by smoke this made them all cough and they we're blinded.
"Everyone let's go!", Lennox cried opening the doors making the smoke pour over them even more as the wind carried it, but just before she left Oracle saw a familiar figure a person in all ready standing on a pile of rubble not moving at all as the smoke swirled around them. This would have made her gasp if not for the smoke and for she could have sworn the person was blown to pieces from the alley but just as she was about to get a closer look another rush of smoke came blinding her. By the time she could look over at the pile of rubble the figure was gone as was something else very important to her. "Oracle move it!", Lennox cried and she didn't hesitate to run out the building and follow the others.
Meanwhile Optimus and the Autobots continued on with their battle, it was too evenly matched even without Starscream and Megatron the Decepticons wouldn't stay down. Especially the new arrivals Shockwave and Hook some of the Decepticons fiercest soldiers even Hook their medic was demonic, it made almost every Autobot wonder how they ever got their wounds healed. Then again they wondered who was scarier Ratchet in a bad moon or Hook in a good mood? Honestly it looked like a tie from that point.
"Optimus!" Ironhide cried as he threw barricade off his back. "We need reinforcements something to keep these damn cons down!" He then quickly ducked and covered as he evaded another blast.
"I agree", Optimus said kicking Shockwave right in the face, and readied himself to shoot Bonecrusher until a bright light flash through the sky. Everyone even the Decepticons seemed to look up as two flaming meteors lit up the night sky. It was so bright that whatever remaining stars could be seen were gone now as they descended towards the earth. "And here it comes" Optimus said in both relief and a bit of aggravation as if he was waiting forever before Bonecrusher realized what was happening Optimus quickly shot him and charged towards his next target. Ironhide watched and was about to ask but didn't have the time as Barricade came for more.
Will knew that getting the girls back to the Jeep was pretty much was impossible now that the battle had moved, it would take a miracle to get there in one piece now, he cursed under his breath but knew he had to persevere and get back to his team. "Ok girls you wanna see action? Well your about to get it", Lennox told them sprinting towards an alley that would give them coverage and he believe was a possible short cut. The girls followed and looked at each other surprised. "With how the battle has moved there is no way I can get you back to the jeep plus it may not even be safe now, keep out of sight and don't do anything you'll regret. Or that we'll regret either, just stay in contact with either myself, or Epps" he told them and looked behind just to give them a 'I mean it when I say I'll kill you if you don't do what your told' look. "Clear?" he asked and they only nodded in response, this time they had full intention of listening after that encounter with Megatron. It took them above five minutes till they managed to get back out on the street thankfully it was clear and they made their way to the NEST team they just followed the repeated sound of gun fire.
It wasn't for about another 15 minutes until Epps finally saw Will again, "Hey man thank God your back, I was worried for a second you wouldn't be coming back", he told them while firing another few rounds. "You like that huh?", he shouted trash talking Scorpinok who apparently still didn't die. Lennox patted him on the shoulder as he grabbed his blaster and started firing beside him.
"Not a chance buddy, if you think I'm going to get myself killed and have you be left in charge then your wrong", he told him and shot many rounds at Blackout giving Sideswipe a chance to sneak up and tackle him to the ground.
"Oh you can keep it", Epps told him with a snort. "Don't know how you handle it Will, but I for one am not looking for a promotion anytime soon" at the corner of his eye he saw the girls crouching down behind them. "Hey I thought you were bringing them back to the jeep", Epps said confused and worried.
"Tried but they moved the fight don't think its very safe now for them", Will explained his eye grew wide as he turned to everyone, "DUCK AND COVER!" he shouted as a Casino sign was hurled in their direction the electrical wires were luckily a few feet above them but it was close as it crashed into a building behind them. "Ok...this isn't going so well", Lennox said and that was when he saw the two meteors the light became so blinding that everyone couldn't help but look they knew from experience that these were not any ordinary meteors. "! Let them be on our side", he said praying hard. He continued to look and saw that the two meteors split into different directions one heading towards the northern side of town and one heading...straight at them! "Oh sh-shit! Move, move, MOVE!", he shouted though he didn't have to tell anyone twice as they quickly grabbed whatever they could carry and ran as fast as their legs could carry them, but even though they got a good distance away the impact from the meteor sent a wave of hot energy at them making many including Will and Epps fall flat on their faces, luckily for their protective gear they were able to keep themselves from being burned. If a minute sooner they probably would have been toasted, Epps slowly rose and helped Will to his feet. They walked through the path of flames to see there assumption was correct, in the huge crater laid a giant metallic sphere shaped object. Lennox was willing to take any chances incase of non friendlies. "Team move out", he said as they fanned out but kept a close distance (though not to close).
The girls as well stayed as far yet as close as they could curious, 'So this is how they came to earth?' many of them thought and all watched in silence as a Transformer stood tall in place of the meteor, he looked like he could be as tall as a Optimus give or take a few feet shorter. The tension around them only thickened as the mechanical being walked out of the crater and looked at his surroundings searching, just then a white police car drove by quickly he scanned it and transformed into the vehicle that past by. He then turned on his siren and the last flashed as he revved his engine and zoomed past the NEST team leaving them all confused.
"Uhh does that mean he's on our side?", Maple asked but no one had an answer there was only one clear thing to do...follow him and head for the path of destruction.
Meanwhile the battle was still a stand off between the Decepticons and Autobots Megatron still hadn't returned though Starscream finally managed to get his aft to the battle, it seemed like there really would be nothing left of the city until the very same police car from before sped its way to the scene and knocked Hook over the ground by swerving in a semi-circle at his feet. Both sides froze, it was obvious this car was Cybertronian but not where his allegiance lied. For admittedly the Decepticons would knock each other over itching for a fight so it was still unclear especially since the car was a police vehicle like Barricade. Another moment of silence past until the vehicle finally transformed, he was tall just a few feet under Optimus's height actually. His armor was built so that it was bulk around his arms and legs but also in a way that he could move fast. On his shoulders appeared two cannons, and a red V formed on his helm around his light blue optics. His color was mainly white with a little black, but what really confirmed his alliance was the Autobot insignia on his right shoulder. All those who recognized him either had a look of relief, terror or a bit of both.
"Well its nice of you join us Prowl", Optimus said with a grin knowing from the beginning who it was. "I didn't think you'd ever arrive."
The NEST team's eyes widen a bit when they heard his name, "Prowl? That's Prowl?" Lennox said for he had heard stories about Optimus Tactic's Strategist. He had heard a few stories about him both good and bad, though you only heard bad ones if you crossed him. For he was said to be a one of the most serious of them even more so then Optimus. He had a high no nonsense policy, meaning the twins and Sideswipe would have to watch themselves.
Prowl turned to Optimus after he had learned the planets main language through the internet, "Well I would have gotten hear sooner but I ran into a familiar idiot on an inhabitable planet. He should be here any moment the fool is too picky when it comes to his alt-mode."
A few of the Autobots cringed, some people never changed Optimus only chuckled not surprised in the least by his comrades remark. "Well all that's important that your here now, and we could use your help".
"I noticed", Prowl replied as he looked to the Decepticons and a few of them cringed having bad experiences with the bot as well the NEST team in response sighed in huge relief to have an ally and not an enemy specially one where both sides seem to fear him. "Well then shall we exterminate these Decepticon Scum?", he asked readying one of his cannons for attack.
Ironhide activated his own and smiled evilly in response, "I thought you'd never ask, good to have you back" he stated as the Autobots launched into battle.
Lennox knew that was there cue to head in the battle field also, "Girls get back and stay out of sight you here?" he shouted and waited till the nodded once he confirmed they were going nowhere he signaled his team to head out.
Oracle, Maple, Varsity, and Inspire never seen something so cool yet terrifying. They also saw why Prowl was feared so much whatever a Decepticon tossed at him he threw it back twice as hard. It seemed like he, Optimus, Ironhide, and Jazz were an unstoppable force as if Prowl was that missing peace to the puzzle. It left them completely in awe so much so that none of them noticed that one of the Decepticons snuck away. That is until it was too late.
"Hey hold up...there's one missing", Varsity said as she looked everywhere frantic. "Where is he...that Dorrito shaped one?" she asked and just as she did a heavy thud landed right behind them. All four turned with a jerk to find Starscream right on them.
"Found him..." Inspire said shakily as he lunged at them trying to grab Varsity since she was the closest.
"Varsity!", Maple, Oracle and Inspire shouted at the same time but just as it looked like she was doomed a flash of yellow appeared just in time. Varsity looked up and was shocked to find Bee blocking Starscreams attempts at a snatch.
"B-Bumblebee" she said astonished. 'He came...I don't know what to say or even think.' She thought to herself to shocked to even move. "You came" she finally said. Earning a playful look from the bot.
"Course I came your my charge aren't you?", he said as he grabbed onto Starscream's whole arm in a death grip and flipped him over his shoulder to a building across the street. "Gotta love Kung Fu movies" he said and again looked at Varsity with a smile. "Be careful guys...we won't always be around to save you, but we will do the best we can". Varsity still could hardly move all she could do was smile in reply with a nod, she looked at her guardian in a whole new light and she had a feeling that from this moment on they would be the best of friends.
However before Bee could fully get into the battle field another loud thud sounded from behind them everyone turned to see Hook with a pinned down Sideswipe. The sword master struggled to get free but the Constructicon was not letting him go any time soon, as he readied his hook it looked like he was going to strike and that if not stopped Sideswipe would no longer have a head.
"SIDESWIPE!", Maple shouted he heard her and looked to find the young girl crying and was willing to head out to the battle field for she knew her healing abilities was his only chance but she wouldn't make it in time at all.
"I thought...she hated me" he said shocked knowing they hadn't really approved of their partnership. "Guess...humans are stronger then I thought" he said ready for his end that is until what looked like a giant blade came at Hook at lightning fast speed slicing his hook before he could strike Sideswipe.
"What the~?" the enraged medic shouted but didn't finish when a flash of orange came and flung him into Barricade. Sideswipe froze for a bit looking at the back of someone all to familiar to him. The bot was the exact same height as himself, he was built about the same too only with slimmer armor for more speed, he was orange with a deep color of orange but with a few yellow stripes along the side of his legs and arms.
"Geez Bro that was too close for comfort you getting rusty or did you just lose your skills?" he asked turning with a smirk the Autobot insignia clearly seen on his chest. Sideswipe was shocked for a bit but he only chuckled as he leapt up and grasped his brothers hand.
"What took you so long Sunstreaker?" he asked as they stood back to back in fighting poses for Barricade and Hook were charging at them. "I thought you told me you were going to get here first?" he remarked as she blocked Barricades attack with his blades.
"What can I say" Sunstreaker stated as he punched Hook right in the faceplate. "Got lost...but I'm here now and that's all that matters! Luckily I met up with Prowl and let me tell you not the funnest guy to travel with".
"I can imagine" Sideswipe laughed as the both kicked Barricade then hit Hook so hard it looked like he was down for the count both of them down for the count actually. "Good to have you back Bro" he told him again clasping in a tight grip.
The girls stood there stunned it looked like the Auto-bot team just got more and more amazing, Bee only shrugged for he had seen it all before. "Well...looks like things are just going to get all the more interesting" he sighed then turned to find Starscream getting back up. "Ready for more Screamer?" he asked ready to give the con a good thrashing.
"As fun as that sounds Auto-bot", Starscream hissed. "Megatron has ordered a retreat enjoy your victory now Auto-bots just now it won't last we shall return more powerful then ever" and before Bee could stop him the Seeker transformed and flew up towards the sky. Bee looked out to find that what he said was true all the Decepticons were transforming and retreating all avoiding the Auto-bot and NEST team attacks and tackles. After awhile there was not a single Con in sight. It looked like they had won this battle. Once it was confirmed the two teams seemed to cheer and they celebrated relieved that they managed to win before all of Las Vegas was destroyed for good.
However Optimus did feel right to celebrate for he had heard Starscreams warning and had a feeling that it wasn't just an idle threat, something was coming and he may not have known what it was exactly he had a feeling that another fight was coming one that could very well be the third fight for their lives. Prowl very well felt the same way and was about to consult with his friend till he and everyone heard a new voice come in the picture.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON OUT HERE?" a man shouted everyone turned simultaneously to stare at this man who was standing outside what looked like the only building not damaged during the battle. He stood there arms crossed. "I'm trying to run a restaurant here and good lord what happened? Was there a terrorist attack or something?".
"Hey isn't that...Gordan Ramsey?" Oracle asked though not answered for the girls just stared at the man with an eyebrow raised. For some reason you'd figure he'd be more freaked not pissed. But anyone who knew this man wouldn't be surprised.
"Uhh...no just filming a movie", Lennox answered trying to keep some what a level of security.
"WELL THEN KEEP IT THE F*** DOWN. I'M TRYING TO RUN A RESTAURANT HERE!", he shouted and with a final huff walked back inside.
This for awhile just left them speechless for a couple of minutes until Ironhide spoke, "I don't I'll ever understand humans" was all that was said as they readied themselves for leave.
Back At Diego Garcia
It took about an hour as everyone returned, back to base. Throughout the whole trip the team had a lot to catch up on, and a lot to say.
"Omigod you guys are amazingly awesome", Inspire said on top of Mudflaps shoulders for he let her ride there as they walked off the plane. "I never seen moves that awesome not even in the movies you can't fake those kind of moves where'd you learn that?".
"Oh its just basic training nothing too big", Mudflap said embarrassed and for the first time acted a bit bashful which shocked the team for a bit who knew them as ego maniacs.
"Maybe we can teach them to you sometime", Skids piped in just as embarrassed.
Inspire looked at him with a look of excitement, "That would be awesome!" she said and continued.
Meanwhile Varsity and Bee were also getting along a whole lot better, "Did I say thank you for saving me?" she asked him as they walked side by side.
"Only 20 times but you can make it 21 if you want" Bee replied in good spirits. "Did I apologize for acting all depressed and ignoring you?" he asked as Varsity also laughed.
"Only 24 times but you can make it 25 if you want", she replied throwing back his own words at him. They couldn't help but laugh their relationship had definitely grown.
However with Maple and Sideswipe they were getting along true but they didn't say a single thing to each other the whole way it wasn't until they landed that Maple finally said. "You did good Sideswipe". He looked to her and managed a small smile that was sincere then turned into a cocky one as he crossed his arms.
"You didn't do to bad yourself kid facing Megatron and even getting a good shot at him wish I could have seen his face. Was it priceless?" he asked. Making Maple smile as she took crossed her arms and replied in an equally as cocky tone.
"Let's just say it was so priceless that words wouldn't describe it".
Oracle sighed in aggravation as she watched her friends leaning against the wall; she stood there not moving until her own Guardian stepped forward. "What's wrong?" Optimus asked noticing her annoyance.
"I just can't believe", she said with a tone of annoyance. "It takes a near encounter with death in order for them to have respect with each other" she stated making Optimus laugh for he had the somewhat same feeling. "But that's not really what I'm thinking, today I ran into someone that I feel has something to do with Starscreams warning and I feel like something is going to go down something that we are not ready for", she left it at that for in truth she couldn't explain her feeling it felt like something was missing a piece of her gone and it wasn't until she put her hand to her throat that she found out what was missing. She gasped and her eyes widen she had a look of pure horror. 'Its gone...b-but how?' she thought.
Optimus saw her look and was about to ask what was wrong until loud blasts came from the east wing, "What the hell?" he cried and ran towards the blast while Oracle headed for her room. The blasts continues for a second until Optimus made his way to the source there he found Prowl, Sideswipe, Ironhide, Sunstreaker, Jazz and Bumblebee stood in a semi-circle around an unfamiliar transformer. "What's going on here?" he asked.
"Optimus we caught this intruder in here I think he's a Decepticon spy", Jazz stated ready to shoot more rounds and the others ready to join him. But before they could get the chance Ratchet came from behind and managed to push his way through them and block them standing in front of the Transformer.
"Stop!" he cried. "This is not our enemy, he's an old friend of ours I just got done repairing him an hour ago do anymore damage and your aft is mine" he told them extremely pissed.
However the rest of his comrades just stood there and stared looking hard at the supposed Auto-bot he was tall about the height of Prowl and like him was white with grey and dark purple around his legs, arms, chest and helm he had the Auto-bot on his chest. He didn't look familiar in any way or form. They thought for a moment Ratchet had gone crazy.
"What? You telling me you lot forgot me", the new bot said in a familiar voice. "Why I've never been more insulted in my life and after I sacrificed myself to save all your Sparks."
After that moment it took them awhile till they finally found out whom the bot was, "JETFIRE?" they shouted in unison shocked.
"Who did you think I was? Wheeljack?" he asked.
Meanwhile Oracle looked inside her jewelry box there was only one thing she kept in it and it wasn't there. "I was right...somehow...that red ninja took my chocker. The question now is...how do I get it back and who is that person?".
Las Vegas
The Red Ninja in question was sitting on top a partly destroyed pyramid playing with the chocker she managed to swipe from Oracle before. It was a hand carved Amethyst Rose tied by black velvet. She chuckled to herself as she turned it over in her hand looking at it closely, she had a large bag filled to the brim with several objects she had felt she might want or found she had just wanted to take them. Just as she pocketed the choker into her pocket she heard the sounds of powerful engines roar towards her, she smirked as she stood up pulling a small red flash from the bag she snapped it in half and tossed it up high into the air above her head and a moment later it was blown to pieces by laser fire as a large grey jet flew to her and hovered next to her. "Get what you needed fleshling?" Starscream's voice came from the jet, clearly he was not thrilled to be the one picking up the human.
The girl snorted and stood up picking up her large bag and tossed it into the bay of the jet's cockpit. "Yeah, plus a few extra things that might be of some use later on for Lord Megatron." She laughed as she heard the jet snort as if she could have anything Megatron might want. "Oh stuff it Screamer, I finished by half of the deal." She jumped up and walked on the jet's wing and slipped into the cockpit as she did the glass snapped closed over her. Then the roar of the engines flared to life as they jet took off into the sky.
That concludes the chapter finally geez what a long chapter...it took me forever! Sorry for it being awhile but hey school sucks. Luckily summer is coming. Look forward to the next chapter!
