Chapter 2: Metroxplex heeds the Call
At the Technor's Office, Megatron and his remaining Decepticon Officers were in great shock. They witnessed the awakening Metroplex from his alternative form: City. This could tip the balance for the Autobots. They had never seen so large Transformers in their lives. And not even Omega Supreme and Trypticon could compare to that giant.
"What in the pits of Kaon is that?!" Megatron demanded angrily and furiously.
Soundwave's screen revealed the picture of gigantic robot and it was taller than some of robots, and even both Trypticon and Omega Supreme. He then revealed the information about the gigantic Transformer. Knockout read his information carefully before hummed lightly.
"According to Soundwave, this Cybertronian we just encounter is the rarest class. It was called... Gigantic Cybertronian. My... It was even taller and stronger than Omega Supreme or Trypticon. I really hate to see him when we face him..."
Megatron breathed heavily as he slowly sat on his seat down, "How is this possible?! Why aren't we aware of his presence?!"
Knockout cleared his throat, "His Spark Chamber had been shut down for nearly billions or millennium years in his stasis. And perhaps it was during the Prime Dynasty."
Starscream nodded his head, "Knockout was right, Lord Megatron. Metroplex was created during the Prime Dynasty. I believed he was the first Guardian in defending and protecting Cybertron from any invaders from any galaxy. And of course, when The Fallen betrayed his kind, Metroplex was shut down. No one had heard of him ever since."
Megatron growled, "Until today..."
Starscream gulped in concern, "What needs to be done, Lord Megatron?"
Megatron's eyes narrowed in determination and anger, "Let him come to us... We shall extinguish spark for interfering our battles... No one dares to defy me!"
Decepticons but Soundwave yelped and looked concern and worry of what Megatron had said. He was willing to challenge Metroplex?! Had he gone insane and reckless when challenging something dangerous and big?!
At Ark Hanging Platform, both Autobots and Decepticons were in great shock and suprise upon witnessing and looking at the arrival and appearance of Metroxplex. Metroplex held Optimus Prime, Elita One, Arcee and Bumblebee on his palm, in front of him.
"Optimus?! What just happen?" Perceptor asked in concern and feared.
"Easy, Perceptor," Optimus said calmly, "He's one of us."
"Awaiting for the order," Metroplex boomed.
Optimus Prime's eyes narrowed in determination as he spoke firmly, "Metroplex, you must destroy the Decepticon Warp Canon on the outskirt of the city."
"Affirmative," Metroplex spoke firmly.
Metroplex lowered his hand down; allowing Optimus Prime, Elita One, Arcee and Bumblebee to come down.
"You've gotta hurry, Optimus," Perceptor's voice spoke through their com-link, "The Ark's coming apart! There are three more Warp Canons shooting the Ark. I uploaded the coordinates to you now."
Optimus Prime nodded, "Alright, Perceptor. Coordinates received. Metroxplex, head to the coordinates! We'll do our best to keep up! Autobots, roll out!"
They all transformed into their vehicle modes. They drove off at once. Metroplex headed off to the location Optimus Prime had sent to. During their journey to the first Warp Canon, Optimus and his team fired their blasters and missiles at the charging and standing-by Decepticon Troopers while ramming them hard and pain. Metroplex did was stomped and stepped on them and the Decepticon Armada Tanks while punched and swung the Decepticon Warships, Flyers and Jets away from him while moved forward and headed to the location.
The race in defending the Ark was on! And Metroplex was the Autobots' only hope for survival and win the war...
On the Ark Platform, The Autobots continued resisting and battling with the Decepticons, with everything they had to protect the last transport Ark.
Ultra Magnus used his thundering powered-hammer in battling and striking at his enemies hard and quick. Bulkhead blasted his blasters thrice on three Decepticon Troopers before slamming and swinging his wrecking balls on them hard. Hound used his Machine Blasts in blasting most of them from the top walls. At the top tower, Seaspray took a sniper and fired at the upcoming or hidden enemies from distance. Defensor continued battling and punching at Bruticus, who fought back at his enemy hard and quick. Ironhide, Chromia and the remaining Autobot Soldiers continued firing their blasters and guns at the charging Decepticon Troopers.
BOOM! The Autobots looked up and found the Ark was taking another damage from the powerful blast of Warp Canon.
Bulkhead groaned in concern, "This isn't good! There is no way we can hold the Decepticons much longer!"
"We have to, Autobots," Ultra Magnus exclaimed as he gave another beat from his Magnus Hammer at four of charging Vehicon Troopers, "Optimus and his team are doing his best in shutting the Warp Canons! And we have to hold them in the line at all cost! We won't go without the fight!"
Hound chuckled happily as he took a grenade and threw right on the Decepticon Armada Tank. BOOM! It blew up to pieces. He quickly took his blaster and fired back at five more Decepticons and screamed, "Yeah! We may be outnumbered and outgun! But no way we can be out-spirited! Coz they're gonna die!"
Ironhide roared in anger. Three more Decepticon charged in as they tried to punch on his head and chest but he dodged them by going back. He took both Iron Blaster and Heavy Iron Canon at them. He then quickly used his arm-canons at four Decepticon Flyers from the sky.
"Hound's right about one thing! Those Cons are not gonna get to us without the fight! Come on, Autobots! Fight! Fight them back!" Ironhide shouted as he continued shooting his blasters and arm-canons at his upcoming enemies.
In high speed, Chromia charged in and beaten all of them one-by-one while blasted her Ion Pistol at her back. She screamed, "Come on! Give your best shot! Is that all you got?!"
"Beat Decepticons! Protect Autobots!" Defensor cried as he punched on Bruticus hard and quick.
Both Ironhide and Chromia had their backs interacted and covered-up as they continued firing and blasting their guns at their enemies. Ultra Magnus swung his hammer on three Decepticons before had his gun blaster blasted at two more. Hound and Seaspray continued firing their blasters at them. Defensor continued punching and kicking at him yet received damages and attacks from Bruticus.
Inspired by his allies' words and encouragement, Bulkhead grunted before roared wildly, "Come on, Decepti-creeps! Is that all you've got?! Coz I'm boring now! You're all gonna die!"
Hound chuckled wildly, "Now! That's the Wrecker's way!"
"That's the spirit, Autobots! Keep on fighting! Show those Cons no mercy! Show them that the Autobots never surrender!" Ultra Magnus shouted.
Autobots cried wildly as they continued combating and shooting their blasters at the Decepticons. They were going to give the best fight they had to save and defend the Ark from danger at the cost of their sparks...
At the Autobot Headquarter, Perceptor continued communicating and guiding Optimus and his team in dealing and battling with the enemies as well as the Warp Canons. Ratchet and Jolt continued treating and healing the wounded Autobots to their full healthy states. Mudflap and Skids wanted to help the doctors. They took the Energon Injection from both sides.
Skids groaned angrily, "Give me that!"
"No, you gimme! I'm the one who's giving it to him!" Mudflap exclaimed angrily.
The Autobot Twin continued pulling the Injection hard from both sides while shouting at each other.
Ratchet groaned in annoyance as he turned and shouted: "Twins! Stay away from my tools!"
Both Mudflap and Skids stopped pulling the Injection. They let got at once, thus dropping it to the ground and broke to pieces. Ratchet gasped in shock.
"TWINS! I needed that!"
Mudflap and Skids chuckled uneasily, "I think Perceptor needs us! See ya!"
Ratchet groaned in annoyance, "Of all the Autobots, why the Twins?!"
"Ratchet! I need some help here! This one is almost out of Energon!" Jolt exclaimed in concern.
"On it!" Ratchet exclaimed as he helped Jolt plugged some suction plugs into the injured and wounded Autobot. As soon as he got more Energon entering his body, Ratchet took a sigh, "Optimus, hurry. I don't know how much more the rest can handle."
Jolt patted on his mentor's shoulder, "Don't worry, Ratchet. Optimus has always been there for us, no matter what."
After having some positive thoughts, Ratchet smiled: "Perhaps, you're right. Come, Jolt. We need to help those patients!"
"On it, Ratchet!"
Ratchet and Jolt helped and assisted in treating and curing the wounds and injuries of Autobots. They hadn't lost the war and Ark yet. They had to keep on fighting until their very last breath...
Travelling for nearly 500 miles away from the Ark Platform, Optimus and his team had arrived on the next location, which had both the bridge and the Warp Canon which connected to the large rectangle tower. The bridge ahead of them was cut off.
"Metroplex, I have a visual of the first Warp Canon," Optimus Prime contacted, "But the bridge ahead is out!"
"Then, allow me to assist you," Metroplex responded.
Metroplex approached to the broken bridge. He brought the ramp up. Optimus and his team drove off while ramming on the Decepticon Troopers to pieces and knock out from the bridge.
After passing the bridge, they met up with the remaining Autobots Troopers; who were keeping their eyes on the first Warp Canon while waiting for Optimus and his team arrival. They climbed up the stairs to the top where ruined bunker was located and the first Warp Canon was still attached to the tower.
"Report, soldier," Optimus requested.
Autobot Soldier #1 spoke, "The Decepticons had their Warp Canon guarded, and especially having those brutal Leapers! Those guys are one tough Cons! I can give you that one."
Bumblebee scoffed as he beeped, "Like Trypticon's weakness, blasted on his heat vents!"
Arcee smirked, "Bee's right. Thanks to Superion's thinking, both him and Omega Supreme manage to beat them down."
Autobot Soldier #2 scoffed, "Nice one, Agent Arcee. We'll take it from here."
Optimus Prime shook his head. He turned to Elita-One, "I need the Targeting Lock Goggle back. Time to try Metroplex's latest attacks."
Elita-One smiled and nodded her head as she returned the goggle to him. She asked, "Think it work on Metroplex?"
"Only one way to find out." Optimus spoke calmly as he put the goggle on his right side. He turned to Warp Canon while contacted Metroplex, "Metroplex, can your read my Targeting Lock On?"
"Affirmative. Connecting to Targeting Lock On. Complete. Awaiting for your order,"Metroplex responded.
Optimus smirked beneath his battle mask, "Good. Targeting on Warp Canon... now!"
Optimus had his targeting lock-on targeted at both Decepticon Army and Warp Canon. Received the coordinates, Metroplex roared in determination and wildly. He headed and approached to the first Warp Canon. Due to the stomping sounds, Decepticon Army turned and looked up. They gasped in shock and fear. They quickly fired their guns, blasters and rockets on their targets in defending the Warp Canon.
His armor was strong and hard to penetrated, Metroplex felt no pain. He roared in anger as he had both canons and missiles launchers fired at the Decepticon Troopers to pieces. He turned to the Warp Canon. Metroplex turned to the Warp Canon as he pulled the gun out, followed by punching on it twice. The Warp Canon was destroyed.
Optimus smiled in relief, "One down, two more to go!"
Bumblebee beeped happily, "Glad to have him on our side."
Arcee nodded, "You said it, kid."
"Come on, Autobots! We need to take those Canons down, so we can drive Megatron and his Decepticons out!" Elita One shouted.
Optimus Prime nodded his head, "Let's roll! Metroplex, maintain your heading. We'll meet you at the second Warp Canon from Hall of Records."
Metroplex looked down and nodded his head, "Affirmative."
He and his team transformed into their vehicle modes and headed off. Metroplex followed them to the next Warp Canon. The Autobot Troopers waved them in wishing them luck of destroying the rest of Warp Canons while guarding the bunker from any sign of Decepticons. They had two more canons to deal with...
Metroplex continued walking as he was heading straight for his next target. Most of Decepticon Troopers were frightened, scared and feared by his appearance. They had no choice but to turned and ran away from him as far as they can. They pushed each other aside and pulled them back in trying to escape from Metroplex's stepping and stomping.
Some continued fight back from the higher ground such as from the top's bridges and towers. They were helped by their Armada Tanks, Flyers and Jets in attacking Metroplex. He punched and slammed the towers and bridges to pieces while heading straight to his target. It seemed there was none of their weapons could harm him...
Optimus Prime and his team continued venturing across the various city of ruins while at the same time, they were shooting and combating with their enemies, and saved their allies from danger.
For nearly half-an-hour had passed, they had arrived on the broken hole of apartment. Upon exited the hole, they had arrived at the outskirts of Hall of Records. The area was filled with ruins and destruction of dead Decepticon and Autobot Troopers. On their west was the Hall of Records, it was guarded by the Decepticons while on the eastern defense was led by Drift, Aerialbots, Warpath and the remaining Autobot Troopers about 15 of them. And there was no sign of Metroplex.
Not having much time to wait, Optimus and his team jumped down and headed to the eastern defense camp while blasting their guns and blasters at their enemies in keeping them off their backs. Drift and his units fired back in covering their backs. Optimus and his team had managed to arrive at the defense camp and met up with Drift.
"Drift, what happen? Did you manage to get Alpha Trion and any remaining Autobots?" Optimus Prime asked in concern.
"We didn't get there in time. The Decepticons had taken control of Hall of Records," Drift reported. He sighed in pain, "And... I feared Alpha Trion and the rest didn't make it out alive..."
Shocked and pained by Drift's report, Optimus stepped back slowly, "No... Alpha Trion... He can't be..."
"We did our best, Prime. We're really sorry about it. Those Decepticons were more earlier and tough to deal with," Warpath said in pain and despair.
Arcee, Elita One and Bumblebee looked down in pain and despair. More of Autobots and especially another Prime: Alpha Trion were killed and gone. Had everything they did had gone vain, and especially losing the ones they trusted and cared.
Optimus Prime clenched his right fist tightly as he spoke firmly, "We can't stay, Autobots. We've got to move on and destroy the second Warp Canon."
Everyone gasped in worry and concern.
Silverbolt spoke, "Optimus, we are low on Energon. More Decepticons are coming from Hall of Records, northwest and northeast roads! There is no way we can make it!"
BEEP! Answer Silverbolt's concerns, Optimus Prime responded the call. Ironhide shouted, "Optimus! This is Ironhide! The Ark's shields are nearly gone! There's not much time left! We are getting pinned down too!"
The Autobots gasped in concern and worry. Time was running out and especially the Ark was about to get blown up!
Jetfire spoke confidently, "Optimus, go! We'll cover you!"
Silverbolt thought for the moment before he spoke, "Jetfire's right. You need to get to the Warp Canon!"
Optimus Prime shook his head, "No, we face them together! Autobots, man your guns and blasters! We will fight for our survivals till the end! Onward!"
Autobots cheered and cried wildly as they positioned themselves in battles. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Warpath and 10 Autobots armed with their blasters and guns in front of their barricades and force-field while Drift, Elita One, Arcee and five Autobots armed with their swords in readied for the combats. Aerialbots were flying on the midair, armed with their guns and blasters.
"Stand tall, Autobots," Optimus Prime commanded. More of Decepticons, their charged out from three directions: Hall of Records, northwest and northeast routes. He shouted, "Here they come! Open fire!"
Thundercracker stood in front of Hall of Record's door, shouted: "Decepticons, take those Autobots down!"
With the word had been given, the Autobots fired their guns and blasters at their enemies. The Decepticons fired and blasted their guns and blasters at the Autobots while some charged in to battle with them.
The Aerialbots charged and flew into the air battlefield. Silverbolt flew to the sky and blasted his guns at two-to-five Jets to pieces while evading the blasts. He quickly transformed into his jet and flew straight at three flyers. He blasted at them to pieces. Jetfire flew straight the ground Decepticons, fired his blasters and missiles at them. Air Raid charged in as he swung his axe at Skywarp, who quickly deflected the attacks with his mace. Both of them charged and battled at each other hard and quickly. Slingshot and Skydive; in their jet forms, flew in high-speed of dodging the attacks and blasted their blasters at both jets and flyers to pieces.
Drift, Elita One, Arcee and five Autobots swung their blades and swords in deflecting the blasts from the Decepticons while at the same time, they combated with their enemies hard and quick. They either injured or killed the Decepticons to death. Optimus Prime, Warpath, Bumblebee and 10 remaining Autobots continued fired their blasters and guns at the remaining of Decepticon Troopers while dodging the attacks.
Six Decepticon Armada Tanks fired their canons and blasters at the Autobots, who quickly dodged down and braced the barricades from the blasts. Three to five Autobots got blasted from the attacks within the defense. Drift and his combat units quickly hovered back to the defense. Aerialbots quickly flew back to their base for cover.
The Autobots continued fried their blasters at their enemies while taking cover from the blasts. Decepticons continued blasting and firing their attacks at their enemies. The Warp Canon turned and aimed its canon at the Autobots. Was this the end of them?
The Autobots held their hands tightly. Some hugged tightly. Optimus Prime hugged Elita One tightly while Bumblebee, Arcee and the rest of Autobot Officers held their each other's hands tightly. The Autobots were about to meet their doom.
BOOM! Six Decepticon Armada Tanks got blown up into pieces, including Decepticon Flyers, Jets and Troopers. Seeing the attacks, both Thundercracker and Skywarp yelped in shock and surprise. Scared of more Autobots Flyers, Gunships, Bombers and Jets in attacking them, they both quickly transformed into their jet modes. They flew up to the sky, followed by the remaining of their troops.
Hearing the Decepticons' screams and flying away, the Autobots took a peek on the battlefield. They found almost most of the Decepticons and their war machines had blown into pieces. They looked up and found Metroplex punched on Warp Canon thrice before pulling it out from the Hall of Records.
The Autobots cheered wildly and happily as they had survived the attacks.
"Who's your big friend?" Warpath asked.
Drift nodded his head, "A very powerful and large friend."
Arcee smiled, "Metroplex. The strongest and last guardian of the Prime Dynasty, is also Autobots."
"You said it. Great to have him with us," Bumblebee beeped happily.
"So, what's next, Prime?" Warpath asked excitedly.
Elita One turned to Optimus Prime as she spoke, "There's one more Warp Canon left. If we destroy it, then we can save the Ark before it get destroyed."
Optimus Prime nodded, "Indeed. We must move out at once."
"Ha! What are we waiting for?!" Skydive asked happily.
Slingshot nodded his head, "Let's finish this now! Then, we'll drive those Decepticons back off for good!"
"Let's roll out!" Air Raid exclaimed happily.
"What's your order, Optimus," Silverbolt asked.
Drift, Warpath, Aerialbots and 10 remaining Autobot Troopers turned to Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime turned to them and gave them a sigh, "The rest of you must remain here. See to your soldiers and find Alpha Trion. He might be still alive. Metroplex, Elita One, Arcee, Bumblebee and I can handle it."
The Autobots gave the awed of disappointment and upset. They wanted to help so badly, instead of sitting around.
Jetfire nodded his head, "We understand, Optimus. We'll secure the Hall of Records. Do what you must to save all of us."
"Indeed. Let the honor guide you to the end," Drift bowed humbly.
Optimus Prime nodded his head in agreement. He turned and transformed into his truck mode. Elita One, Arcee and Bumblebee transformed into their two motorcycles and car modes. They followed Optimus Prime, and so as Metroplex. They had to finish the final Warp Canon while they still can...
Decepticon Troopers and their two Armada Tanks were armed and readied to defend the bridge of Technor and the last Warp Canon from the Autobots. The Autobot Troopers were forced to withdraw from the battlefield as they had no firepower to overcome their enemies.
BOOM! Most of the Decepticon Troopers and their tanks got blown into pieces. The Autobots cheered wildly. Optimus Prime and his three Autobots drove straight to the middle bridge. Optimus had marked and targeted on the last Warp Canon, which connected to the Technor's Office.
Optimus contacted Metroplex, "Metroplex, I've marked the final Warp Canon! Let's finish this!"
"Yes, Prime," Metroplex answered.
The Autobots cheered wildly and happily. They were almost winning the battle. Metroplex approached to the final Warp Canon. As he prepared to gave his last punch, the Warp Canon and fired on his chest! BOOM! His chest wounded and damaged. He fell right on the back of his.
The Autobots gasped in shock and feared. Metroplex was defeated?!
"Metroplex, no!" Optimus Prime exclaimed in concern.
"Optimus," Ratchet called through com-link, "The Ark's shield is down! It's about to get torn apart!"
"Metroplex is down! We'll have to finish this by ourselves!"
"Hold your position! I'm sending some reinforcement!"
"There is no time! Autobots, roll out!"
Optimus Prime and his team transformed into their vehicle modes. They drove straight to the Technor's office while dodging and avoiding the blasts and attacks from Decepticon Troopers from the office. Time was running out.
Upon reaching to the base's office, they entered the block and headed to the room that led to the core of Warp Canon. Optimus pried on the doors hard as he slowly opened them in two.
"Surprise!" Starscream shouted.
He launched his missiles at Optimus to the walls hard before fell to the ground hard. Bumblebee, Arcee and Elita One gasped in shock before growled in anger. They turned and aimed at Starscream. Instead of him only, Airachnid launched four webs on them to the walls. Combaticons came out from sides.
Starscream chuckled, "Light's out..."
The Combaticons gave the hard punches right on Optimus and his team's faces.
Optimus Prime, Elita One, Arcee and Bumblebee slowly got up from their unconscious. They heard the screaming and cheering from some crowds. They looked around and found hundreds of Decepticon Troopers cheering wildly and happily. They realized of one possible. They looked at themselves. They were caught by the Energon Whip-Cuffs. They struggled to get out from their imprisonment. They were captured!
They looked up and found Megatron, who was sitting on his throne chair of top stage. On both sides of his stage, they were Blackout and the purple muscular with crimson one-eyed Lugnut as they were his bodyguards.
Megatron chuckled evilly, "Optimus 'Prime'. That is what they call you now, isn't it; ever since you had defeated The Fallen."
Optimus's eyes narrowed in anger, "Megatron..."
Megatron slowly came down and glared at Optimus Prime as he spoke darkly, "While your courage and wisdom are admirable, but your leadership had led most of Autobots to doom, and such as your scout had lost his voice, more Wreckers killed, more Autobot Troopers were sacrificed to defend the Ark, and more importantly: Grimlock and his Lightning Strike Coalition had deserted you!"
Optimus Prime gasped in shock, "What?!"
"This is what you chose, 'Prime', when you defied me! All of this is your DOING!"
Three Autobots were about to protect and deny Megatron's claim about Optimus Prime. Megatron grabbed Bumblebee's head and slammed him to the front ground hard. Elita One gasped in shock as she was about to shout. Megatron blasted his Fusion Canon on her left shoulder. She screamed in pain.
"Megatron! Stop! Leave them out of this!" Optimus Prime demanded angrily.
Megatron growled in anger, "I'll stop... when all of you are dead!"
Megatron unsheathed his sword from his right gauntlet. He had his blade thrust and stabbed on Arcee's stomach. She screamed in pain.
"Arcee!" Elita One screamed in fear while Bumblebee beeped loudly.
Optimus Prime growled in anger, "This is meaningless, Megatron! All we want is to leave!"
Megatron growled in anger as he gave Optimus a hard slap from his right. Optimus Prime breathed heavily and painfully. He turned to the front as he gave the order, "Charge up the Warp Canon! Wipe their precious Ark off the face of Cybertron!"
"Yes sir!" Decepticon Trooper saluted as they all headed to their control consoles. They were setting their Warp Canon armed and aimed at their targets.
Megatron turned and glared at Optimus Prime, "No one leaves without my permission!"
Optimus Prime groaned painfully as he slowly standing up and glared at Optimus Prime, "I wasn't asking..."
Elita One, Arcee and Bumblebee breathed heavily as they all slowly stood up. They agreed with Optimus Prime. They didn't came to Megatron for permission but to end his Warp Canon.
Megatron chuckled, "Always defiant to the end, aren't you, Prime? At every turn you have thwarted my effort to save this planet! To return it to its former glory! No more! This day it all ends, Prime! Once and for all!"
Optimus Prime's eyes narrowed in anger, "I agree... It end today!" Both Megatron and Decepticons were in shock and confuse. He looked up and shouted, "Metroplex, NOW! Attack Megatron!"
"Affirmative!" Metroplex's voice shouted.
CRASH! SLAM! SCREAM! The building's glassed ceiling was destroyed. Megatron screamed in pain as he got slammed to the ground hard. Decepticons screamed in fear as they quickly ran away and distanced from the attacks of Megatron's back. They looked at Metroplex, who gave the hard punches on Megatron thrice.
As Metroplex's hand raised up, the whole throne chair of stage were flatten as the pancake. Megatron was laid on the ground hard. Was he... dead?
Decepticons chatted in fear and concern of what they had witnessed. Metroplex had survived the attacks and now... Megatron was killed?!
Freed from the Energon Whip-Cuffs, the Autobots stood up and turned to their enemies. Elita One helped and held Arcee on her shoulder. Bumblebee beeped and growled in anger. Optimus's eyes narrowed in determination while glaring at his enemies.
"Leave. NOW."
The Decepticons shivered and shaken in fear and worry, including Starscream and Knockout. Airachnid remained calm and steady. She looked at Megatron's dead body before looking at the angry Metroplex. She smirked devilishly.
Starscream cleared his throat as he spoke calmly, "Very well, Optimus. We accept your... 'agreement'. We shall leave as you had requested."
"I agree... Megatron had let his foolish pride kill him. Thus, I shall be your new leader now," Airachnid declared. Starscream, Soundwave and Blackout were stunned by Airachnid's outrageous declare. She continued, "Decepticons, return to base. This battle is lost."
Knowing there was no other way, the Decepticons turned and followed Airachnid in returning to their base. They quickly left and escape the base.
Starscream groaned and growled in anger. He lost his opportunity to become Megatron's Successor. Blackout growled in anger as he refused to take order from the pretender. Soundwave remained in silent and shown no emotion. Three Decepticons... take no order from Airachnid, but knew they had to withdraw.
Three Decepticons transformed into their jet modes. They blasted off and abandoned Technor's base. The battle was lost...
Optimus Prime, Elita One, Arcee and Bumblebee returned to their base, with the help of Metroplex. Arcee, Elita One and Bumblebee were treated and healed of their badly wounds by Ratchet and Jolt since three of them were badly tortured and punished by Megatron badly. Autobot Medics helped in treating, healing and helping more of Autobot Troopers and Officers from their serious and deadly battle with Decepticons...
Optimus Prime and Ironhide were at the Prime's Office, watching and witnessing Metroplex's guarding the Ark, along with more of the Autobots while keeping their eyes on the leaving and fleeing Autobots.
Ironhide smirked, "Now that's a sight my optics have longed to see for some time."
Optimus Prime sighed, "Enjoy the moment... It may have cost our future."
Ironhide gasped, "What?! No! You mean all the Energon we saved for the Ark is gone?!"
"There's barely enough left to last a megacyle. We need to find more Energon, and quickly. I have a hunch Grimlock may know where to start."
"What; Grimlock?! He deserted us!"
"He left his post for a reason. I want to know why. For now; Jazz, Sideswipe, Cliffjumper and Crosshair are tracking on him now."
"I hope you're right, Prime. I really hope so..."
Optimus Prime and Ironhide took a glance at the sight of Ark. They can only hope that Grimlock had the answer about leading to the Energon or doom will be upon them...
To be continued...
