Chapter 3 ~ "Must get out alive…"
Megatron grinned, "HELLO MAGGOTS!" he roared, aiming his cannons and firing at the humans, sending bodies flying and smashing parts of machinery from the control panels to bits.
Humans ducked and dove under whatever was useful for cover as the large silver and green mech continued to fire upon the conference room. The tall blonde man, along with another with dark hair and glasses, watched in utter horror as their comrades were blown away by the massive mechanical being. Officers holding simple machine guns were unable to stop it with the small bullets that they had. It was obvious that this giant robot was completely indestructible.
Optimus smirked from his hiding place in the air vent, "Show off…" he muttered in amusement.
Scavenger chuckled, "Got to give him credit," he made an attempt to stretch out his massive arms in the tight space, "He makes a good entrance."
"Yeah," the former Autobot Commander nodded, turning to Scavenger and flashing a mischievous grin, "But I can make a better one…" Raising his arm back with his hand clenched into a fist, Prime threw a powerful blow into the metal vent.
The ceiling tore open with dust and smoke, debris flying everywhere as two massive mechanical beings landed on the floor. The impact from the landing caused the ground to shake, the humans around them in all the explosive chaos had fallen over when feeling the ground beneath them quake. More cries erupted as the humans spotted the two new large robots.
Optimus pointed his arm-guns at the humans, firing plasma blast but making little effort to inflict too much harm to any of the organic life forms. His passion and respect for all living organisms still burned in his spark, however not as brightly. Firing a few more blasts, Optimus moved around the room with Scavenger at his side, both making their way towards the group of mechs.
Coming upon the mechs in distress, Optimus instructed Scavenger to undo the restraints. The elder bot was more than happy to oblige; with his powerful grip, Scavenger tore away every wire, metal strap, and collar from the group of colorful robots.
The one coated in red; known as EnRyu, looked up at the large green and purple mech with shock. The one sitting next to him in blue armor, HyoRyu, followed EnRyu's gaze. They both marveled over the massive robot before them.
Scavenger stared down at them sternly, "We need to get out of here…" he pulled them both off the chairs with each of his arms, "Quickly!"
EnRyu and HyoRyu had practically tripped over their own feet when being pulled off the chairs. HyoRyu was on the verge of a breakdown from the complete shock of the whole situation and EnRyu was in utter panic. They were joined with their brethren a few moments later, each of them frightened and hurt by the day's events. Scavenger had to herd them into the right direction in order to get them out of harm's way.
Running for their lives, the group of bots led by Scavenger all hurried towards the nearest exit. It came to the point where a few of the colorful mechs would have to be carried; HyoRyu carrying EnRyu, and the green-coated mech named FuuRyu carrying the yellow one name RaiRyu. Scavenger was carrying the smaller mechs; VolFogg and the GunMachines were draped over his shoulders as Mic and Goldymarg followed the Ryu brothers down the corridor.
Megatron and Optimus had been playing defense, firing back at the humans with as much force as possible. The humans, seeing as there was a potential threat, decided to pull out the big guns. The minute the group of bots had left the large conference room, a small army of human officers with cannons, rifles, and other assortments of gunfire had followed. Prime and Megatron were fortunate enough to evade the blasts while following Scavenger and the others out, but the armies of humans were slowly growing in numbers.
As they were running down the corridors of the building, Scavenger soon became aware that the gunfire was getting heavy. A few stray laser fire headed for elder mech and he quickly turned to the side, letting his shoulder treads take a beating. He clung to VolFogg tightly when feeling the purple-coated bot slipping from his grasp, and ran as fast as his heavy frame would let him.
Red lights began to flicker and a loud alarm sounded throughout the halls. Scavenger cursed and ran faster, the bots behind him were barely keeping up.
The jolting and the sound of firing finally managed to get through to VolFogg, and the ninja mech twitched a few times before raising his head as much as he could. His optics flickered badly; though he managed to catch a few glimpses of mechs he didn't recognize. Turning his head with the jolting run, he caught sight of GunGlue next to him and GunDober draped over the stranger's other shoulder. Then his body went limp as he slid back into unconsciousness.
Prime was having trouble keeping the young bots in front of him from stopping. The large amount of gunfire had taken its toll; shots fired were hitting the bots directly in certain areas. Their bodies were staggering, slowing down due to the immense pains from their wounds and the dying energies in their systems. Megatron was doing all he could to keep the injuries to a minimum; firing shot after shot at the humans and leaving burned corpses lying on the floors.
Blast after blast, the gunfire just kept coming. When they thought things couldn't get any worse; a stray laser had shot HyoRyu in the leg and the bot went tumbling down. Optimus cursed as HyoRyu went down, his red companion falling with him. He did not stop in his tracks and just scooped up the younger bots quickly, throwing them over his shoulders and catching up with Scavenger.
Megatron had fired a few rounds at the ceiling, causing it to crumble and collapse, cutting them off from the humans. The silver and green Decepticon snickered under his mask, aiming the middle finger in the direction of the humans and sped off to follow the rest of the group. When looking up ahead of Scavenger, Megatron spotted a reasonable exit. They were running down a hallway, at the end there was a sign that said "Docking Bay". The Decepticon smirked in triumph, "Scavenger go for the docking bay!" he shouted to the elder mech. Soon, they were all running through a mech-sized door that was used whenever the robots would help with the cargo.
They came upon the docking bay, a series of semi-trucks were parked here and there near the cement docks. When spotting the main entrance, Megatron went ahead, pushing past the mechs. He crouched down before a large metal garage door, slipping his blue fingers under the slab of steel and using all his strength to push the door upwards. It wasn't a difficult task; this was of course the former Emperor of the Decepticon Empire.
The door flew upwards and Megatron turned around to the group with narrowed, red optics, "Get to the ship," he said venomously. And there wasn't any hint of hesitation as the group before him sped past and headed for the outside. After making sure everything was clear, Megatron entered the outdoors as well. After turning around, he lifted an arm and closed the heavy steel door. To make sure that any humans did not enter the outside, Megatron aimed his two cannons on his shoulders at the closed door and fired, melting the metal together to the cement ground. Satisfied, Megatron turned to follow the group that was making haste towards the sea.
Scavenger had opened up his comnlink to Sideswipe, "Swipes! Surface the ship!" he shouted.
When hearing the booming voice over his comn, Sideswipe had practically fallen off his recharge birth. He struggled to get to his feet, stumbling in his tracks as he attempted to dash up to the Control Deck of the ship. He tripped over himself in the stairway, almost falling down when he was able to save himself by some dumb luck. Entering the Control Deck, Sideswipe sat in his chair and began to punch in a series of codes. There was a loud humming echoing around the ship; the engines were just heating up. A seat change; Sideswipe was now sitting in the pilot's seat, changing the gears and guiding the ship through the water towards Scavenger's location. Reaching the Sea Port, the young Autobot began to raise the ship from the water. Its massive frame no longer camouflaged after Sideswipe deactivated the ship. Now the other bots could watch as the ship surfaced, hovering over the water and making its way towards the dock. It came to halt mere inches away from the concrete, allowing the door to open and the bridge to land on the dock. The three large mechs had practically tossed the younger group of mechs in, following soon after.
