Chapter 3: Breaking and Entering
No, I didn't forget about this story. I did forget that I had most of this chapter written. I just remembered that they were not called "sparks" in Generation 1. They were referred to as a laser core. I made the change in this chapter.
Disclaimer: Transformers are not mine.
"This is annoying. If we had to be stuck like this why couldn't you be in my body. Then at least we could teleport there grab it and teleport out without anyone knowing." Skywarp muttered.
"Without anyone knowing? Really Skywarp? I'm sure the Autobots would never have missed their cruel weapon, and if they did they never would have suspected us!" Starscream answered. " Our plan will work anyway. And we still may take out several Autobots in the process. At the very least we will have a few more cubes of energon to bring back. Thundercracker and the constructicons can cause enough of a distraction for us…me to grab it and get out of here. Come on time is running out. "
Back at Autobot base
"…and then when two are one we take them down. We cease to be outnumbered and we end this war quickly without any more damage to this planet or ourselves. I think we should act quickly" Wheeljack was explaining to Prowl and Optimus.
"I am not sure. If I understand correctly it combined their laser cores. You didn't see the body so how do we know they are not currently one unstable weapon themselves? Remember the Heart of Cybertron. If that is the case we definitely don't need to use it as a weapon and we need to find them before they blow themselves and the planet up." Prowl pointed out.
"Agreed" Optimus said. "I cannot allow us to blindly try it. I am not sure it is a good Idea to continue with this Wheeljack. I cannot allow you to injure yourself with this one, or anyone else "
"Understood" Wheeljack said as he headed back to get his devise and make sure it was properly destroyed. He was disappointed but Prime did have a point. He was hoping he could convince Prowl but of course his logic would get in the way. He would take the idea back to the drawing board later though and be more specific with the energy it would absorb. He was sure Ratchet would cheer him up and he would throw ideas off of him for a better device. He had not made it out the door when the proximity alarms went off. "Cons!" Prowl informed them.
The autobots rolled out to engage the cons. Devastator was waiting for them. They attacked. WheelJack ran for his invention. He hoped it would cause Devastator to be unable to maintain his form and then he would combine the constructicons in a way he could destroy. That was when he noticed the two seekers coming in overhead. He and the twins fired. Thundercracker flew off but Starscream's wing was hit.
"We are losing altitude fast! Thundercracker Help" Skywarp screamed. Starscrem tried to compensate but then his thruster was hit. "Decepticons retreat. Save yourselves." The constructicons and Thundercracker left.
"Optimus, we have a prisoner." Wheeljack informed his leader.
A/N Another short chapter and a cliffhanger. *smiles* I will remind you this will be a short fic. Hope you enjoy.
