Sorry for the wait, wasn't sure how to do this chapter. This chapter was mostly written by my friend Qudirl Rider Aeona. She is much better at writing fight scenes, so she helped me put my ideas into writing. If you can, I suggest you check out her story, war of the shadow specters. it's really good.

Thanks so much for everyone who reviewed, any ideas, or pointing out of mistakes will be greatly appreciated!

"Give me one good reason to let civilians take part in a fight that is way over your heads?" Will asked the four strange newcomers.

"Who said we were civilians?" Sanji asked, already heading out with the others. Pausing at the door, they all turn slightly. "We're Pirates!"

Outside the city, approaching fast, the decepticons picked up three different auto-bot energy signatures. They were clustered at the edge of the city, doubtless preparing to investigate the odd energy reading. Deciding to take advantage of superior numbers and the element of surprise, they dampened their energy signatures and changed course.

"Alright, where are the bad guys, I'm ready to get at them." Luffy snickered, cracking his knuckles.

"Oi, I told you not to hog all the action." Sanji protested, bopping his idiotic captain on the head. Nami shook her head in disappointment. They had already started fighting, and it wasn't even against the enemy!

"How many of these deceptions are there?" She asked Optimus. He seemed to be looking around warily as his optics flashed. "I can sense four separate energon signatures." He answered. None of the pirates understood what the energon part meant, but they trusted his judgement.

"If there's only four of them then it shouldn't be a problem." Robin spoke with a slight smile. It was obvious to her that they were being underestimated by these alien robots.

"Let's go!" Luffy shouted before running out of the warehouse, the other pirates quickly following.

"Are you sure - they can fight?" Sunstreaker started to say as Sideswipe finished. Will rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Well–

Vvwup

They heard a vacuum behind them and spun around in time to see Skywarp drop a large package, laughing before he warped away. "Get the humans out of the building!" Optimus ordered, directing the workers out and picking up the ones on the raised walkways.

Not a moment later the package exploded, damaging the walls of the warehouse and destroying the closest walkways. The debris thrown by the explosion bashed against the inside of the warehouse making the structure dangerously weak. Some of the human workers had escaped the trap but there was still more to be saved. Before they could leave with the rest of them, the trembling building collapsed over their heads, burying them from sight.

The Strawhats had heard the explosion and turned around to see the warehouse shaking uncertainly. They had helped the workers that came out and directed them to safety, only to watch in horror as as the structure collapse on itself, and their new alien friends.

"Hey! Are you guys ok?" Luffy shouted at the pile of metal sheeting and beams, but no answer came from the robots beneath.

Rumble

The ground shook underneath their feet. They were only slight tremors at first, but then another rumble came, and another, to the point where they all realized they were heavy footsteps. Down the street they finally spotted the cause of the tremors.

A huge robot with a cannon for an arm and a singular, central optic occupying his otherwise featureless face, walked down the street towards the warehouse. Unlike the Autobots that could transform into vehicles, this robot didn't seem like it had any other form at all with his armor-like exoskeleton made out of some foreign, dark metal.

Vvwup

Another robot appeared in the air next to the first one.

"I dropped in the explosives. You should've seen the looks on those fleshlings faces before it exploded!" The robot that appeared cackled. Nami gasped. "So he's the one who blew down the building!"

Luffy clenched his fist as he stared at the hovering robot. "That's not fair!" He shouted and Skywarp just laughed again before flying away.

"Sanji." Luffy said and the chef nodded, preparing. Luffy grabbed onto Sanji's leg and walked backwards, stretching his arms until they were taut.

"Armée de L'Air Gomu Shot!" Sanji then kicked towards the retreating decepticon.

"Gomu Gomu no Rocket!" As Sanji kicked forward,Luffy released and the rubber man was flying with great speed at the now transformed jet, latching onto his wings. Taken by surprise, Skywarp began to warp all over the place in an attempt to shake off the unusual fleshling.

Vvwup. Vvwup. Vvwup.

"Gyahaha! This is fun!" Luffy laughed as the jet did a barrel roll. Everyone besides his crew mates declared him to be insane on the spot. Skywarp was frustrated as to why he was still alive, normal humans couldn't handle the amount of energy that surged through them when he warped. But since Luffy was made of rubber, it barely passed as a tingle to him. "Get off of me you wretched fleshling!" The decepticon growled. "No way! Hahaha!"

Down on the ground, Shock-wave continued his path towards the fallen warehouse, paying no mind to the battle above. The debris that used to be the building began to move and the Strawhat Pirates turned in surprise. Nami called to them. "You guys okay?"

"We will be out soon, please protect the citizens!" Optimus called and the pirates sighed in relief. The citizens on the streets fled, as the approaching decepticon kicked up cars and threw them at the people. However, before the flying vehicles could hit their targets, they were stopped by a collection of arms which sprout out of the ground and each other to shield the people, directing them away from the battle. Sanji ran forwards and kicked other flying cars out of the way as well. Nami began to create a storm using her clima-tact, thinking she could at least damage the robot if it couldn't kill him. "Bigger, bigger." She murmured.

"Raaaagghh!" A mustang police car that was driving by suddenly transformed and lunged for Robin and Nami, surprising them and ruining Nami's concentration. Just as his metal hands were about to wrap around the orange-haired woman, he was slammed away from his target. Sanji's aura was lit up in angry flames that crackled after kicking the decepticon. "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH NAMI-chan!"

"Thank you Sanji." Nami said, catching her breath from the surprise. Big, pink hearts took place of the chef's eyes. "Anything for you my dear Nami-chan!" He exclaimed in a proclamation of love... again.

Ironhide groaned. He had just freed himself from the debris that was the collapsed warehouse, only to be hit by a flying Barricade. Roaring in anger, he pushed off the stunned enemy and prepared his cannons as a battle ensued between them. The twins had gotten out with a few more workers and sent them away just as Optimus Prime emerged from under a few support beams letting the last few humans that were in the warehouse down before clambering out of the rubble.

The Autobots stared at the combatants, their assistance apparently unneeded. Only one thought seemed to be running through their processors. "What the frag are they?" Ironhide wondered aloud.

{Hey guys, I'm Qudirl Rider Aeona, best friend of the author of this story your reading. I was asked by here to help her write this action-packed chapter (she claims she cannot write action scenes) and I wanted to know what you guys thought of my work. Please leave a review for this story and convince her to keep writing because she is my best friend and I will not allow it if she abandons her story out of lack of motivation. Thank you and Goodbye!}
