Okay, long and short of it is that: One, I'm working on an actually story (still in the rough draft version but I'm perfecting as I go. Two, I'm sicker than a dog. Three, as an added bonus I just found out that I have a fun little thing called a Mitral Valve Prolapse. Don't know what that is? Neither did I. One trip to the ER and an Echocardiogram (basically an ultrasound for the heart) later and I did though. Apparently God hooked me up with a crap heart. Luckily it's not serious so hopefully I'll be able to just live with it.
Bee dumped us out and headed to help take on some of the lesser Decepticons that seemed to be giving the others a hard time while Sam and I made our way to the human troops that had been deployed to help. Sam pulled me toward two men who were waving at us. "Come on, I know them. If they can't keep us safe then no one can." I allowed him to drag me over and we both collapsed of relief when they finally had us. The older black male who had grabbed me carried me over to a makeshift medic, Sam being helped to walk there by the other guy.
Once there and we'd been checked over as best as they could we were taken farther back away from the fighting. As we were being taken there was a bang louder than I'd ever heard before and as I looked over Epps' (I found out that was his name after he handed me over to the medic.) shoulder I saw Sideswipe flying through the air followed by chunks of debris. As he tumbled to the ground I realized that he must've been thrown through the wall pretty hard. After most of the exterior wall had broken away I saw Soundwave come rushing through towards Sideswipe like a bullet out of a gun. Zoned in and ready for the kill. Ravage came rushing out second and then Frenzy and Rumble, who still looked a little unbalanced, came out too. All three were focused on one target: Bumblebee.
Optimus had just gotten a good hit in on Megatron when he noticed Bumblebee come out with the children. Thank Primus. Ratchet and Ironhide were close to finished with their opponents and he signaled them via comm. link: Ratchet, Ironhide, go and get those kids out of here. Take them somewhere safe till this is over. Make sure none of the Decepticons get near them. Without verbal response both nodded and continued on with their fighting. They were just finished with their opponents when Sideswipe came crashing through the exterior wall of the once secret base. While both started to go to his aid Prime again comm. linked: No, he'll be alright. Just get them out of here. Do it, now while they're distracted! Hesitantly they left Sideswipe to take on the giant Soundwave and took off towards Sam and Sonya.
I came back to reality as two of the Autobots, Ratchet and Ironhide, came running towards us. Without stopping to really discuss with the humans what was going on Ironhide had grabbed me while Ratchet took hold of Sam and they continued to run. I saw Ratchet drop out of sight for a second until a few moments later when he was carrying another person, this time a girl. I guessed from what he'd described that she was his girlfriend Michaela. True to his word, she was very pretty. Honestly I didn't think that the nerd got the girl unless I was watching one of those sappy Hollywood movies. I strained to see around Ironhide, but all that I could make out was that Bee had come to help Sideswipe to take care of Soundwave and three other, smaller Autobots had come to take on Ravage and the twins. Soon we were too far away for me to make any sense of it and so I turned my attention back to my carrier. And again, just as Sam had said, he came off as a pretty gruff-looking guy. His bright blue optics centered onto me and I nervously gave him a smile and a wave. God, please don't let him squish me.
Ravage, Frenzy and Rumble had taken a beating from Arcee and the two minitwins Skids and Mudflap and so were now retreating back to Soundwave. Soundwave however was finding some difficulty with Bee and Sideswipe. Back on Cybertron Sideswipe and his twin Sunstreaker had been known to be extremely dangerous together, but when Sunstreaker had disappeared it had been assumed that the silver brother would be weakened. On the contrary, he became just as savage as his brother had been. With Bumblebee backing him up, Sideswipe was slowly but surely overpowering Soundwave as he bashed the aforementioned Decepticon's faceplates in.
Soundwave calculated the current odds and the likelihood of a Decepticon victory now was slim to none. Signaling Megatron over comm. link he transferred his calculations. Megatron was also not fairing very well against an enraged Optimus Prime and so sent out the signal for a recall of all forces. Better to get the hell out now and be able to fight later than die and have a millennia-old war have been fought in vain. "Fall back! Fall back!" Megatron shouted and quickly most of the remaining Decepticons had fled and the only ones left on the battlefield were Megatron and Soundwave. Tackling Optimus in a last ditch attempt at an offense, Megatron cracked Optimus' right optic before taking off himself. "This isn't over Prime. I will rule this world!" Soundwave stood and observed the site before taking up the three mini 'cons and projecting himself up after his leader.
Optimus watched with his remaining good optic as his brother and Soundwave took off back into the atmosphere. They wouldn't be gone too long. He knew his brother too well to think that he would give up on this planet. Unfortunely, so long as he didn't it would put innocent humans in harm's way. And kept the Autobots here until further notice. Earth was a good planet, full of beings that had great potential. But this wasn't their home world. They had destroyed theirs. Better to prepare this one to be better than they had. But maybe it was too late even for these poor humans. So many seemed to be corroded with greed and hatred to learn to change now. But hopefully humans were able to save themselves where even highly advance robots had failed.
Oh my God! I just wrote this thing up on about half an hour! Who knew being sick made for great production? Anyways, there's only one more chapter after this and then it's done.
