Chapter 21

AT THE AUTOBOT HEADQUARTERS IN ALBANY, NEW YORK…

Bumblebee: Ratchet, I thought you said that you've repaired him completely!

Ratchet: Apparently his legs are still numb after being crushed by Blackout…

Silverbolt: They could be broken but don't worry, I'll be fine.

Bumblebee: You said "spark and all", Ratchet!

Jazz: Cool your circuits Bee. At least Ratchet brought them back on-line…

Optimus: *he walked over to the group* Who's back on-line?

Ratchet: Shit! GULP! Um, Silverbolt and Cheetor are, sir?

Optimus: They're what?!?

Bumblebee: Ratchet repaired them…

Jazz: I say he did one hell of a job!

Optimus: Ratchet, I told you not to interfere with life!

Sam: Told you so!

Silverbolt: Hey! I'm happy to be on-line! I don't want my spark to join the Matrix yet! I'm glad I'm alive rather than dead!

Ratchet: See? He didn't want to do but you're like, "Ratchet don't interfere with life, let them DIE!!!"

Optimus: But look at him! He's going to be crippled for the rest of his life until he goes off-line!

Silverbolt: Crippled smippled! I'd rather be crippled and alive than dead! Besides Ratchet can fix my legs…

Optimus: What makes you think he can?

Silverbolt: He repaired my spark and brought me on-line again! Who else would I trust? Cheepers, I bet you are just like your brother, Megatron!

Jazz: Whoa! Chill out both of ya! Optimus, so what if he's back on-line? If YOU were off-line, how would YOU feel if WE didn't bring YOU back on-line?

Ratchet: Yeah! The next time you go off-line, I'd probably not repair you because of what you said to Silverbolt. If he's happy to be on-line, YOU have no say in it!

Optimus: Well, I still think you should have not interfered with the way of life, Ratchet. *he left*

AT CYBERTRON…

Motormaster: What brings you back to Cybertron, Starscream?

Bugbite: Yeah! Shouldn't you be on Earth with Lord Megatron?

Starscream: Megatron is dead. Optimus Prime killed him. I need to bring more of us to Earth to carry out the Autobots' destruction.

Reverb: Oh those damn Autobots giving you trouble?

Starscream: Much trouble. They killed almost all the Decepticons on Earth including the Constructicons.

Astrotrain: Megatron, our powerful leader is dead?!?

Barrage: NO one could kill Megatron and try to get away with it!

Blitzwing: No one can even try to get away with killing an entire regiment of Decepticon warriors!

Onslaught: Yeah! Let's kill those puny Autobot freaks!

Trypticon: Let's crush their sparks!

Fracture: Make them suffer!

Afterburner: And show them no mercy for none was shown to our Decepticon comrades!

Blastcharge: How many Decepticons are still on-line?

Starscream: Swindle, Payload, and I.

Shrapnel: Just you three?!?

Motormaster: That means they killed most of the Decepticons!

Starscream: Yes, I need you all to come with me to Earth. We'll destroy the Autobots and resurrect our glorious leader!

Red Alert: I'll be more than happy to assist with that!

Lugnut: All hail Megatron!

Crumplezone: Our glorious leader!

Starscream: Decepticons, move out! On to Earth! On to Earth!

*the whole area on Cybertron was filled with Decepticons transforming and flying into space with Starscream leading the way*

AT THE AUTOBOT HEADQUARTERS…

Silverbolt: I don't get. Why is Optimus so badly concerned that I'm on-line?

Ratchet: He's just pissy about having that whole funeral for no damn reason.

Silverbolt: He had a funeral for us?

Jazz: Yeah, but he buried dummies instead of you guys though.

Silverbolt: *he snickered* You know that's kind of funny.

Ironhide: I know! It's just proves how much of an idiot he is.

Gears: *he walked over to the group* You're going to get in so much trouble Ratchet. You brought him back on-line.

Silverbolt: What's it to you?

Gears: You're not supposed to be on-line. You're supposed by in a very fine coffin underground.

Jazz: We could use you as the substitute. Prime will never know.

Silverbolt: Yeah. They could really use you.

Gears: Well, you should be still dead. *he walks away with his head held high and his eyes closed*

Ratchet: Gears! Look out! Don't walk into the…

Gears: *he walked into a tree and falls down knocked out*

Ratchet: Tree.

ARRIVING IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM…

Starscream: We're almost there.

Astrotrain: I'll fly ahead and alert them of our coming. Give them let's say ten stellar cycles to get ready before we attack.

Bugbite: Cool. Then we kick their f***en asses!

Motormaster: Excellent.

Astrotrain: *he flew off from the others and arrived at Earth's atmosphere in a matter of minutes* Here's the planet. *he saw a space shuttle*

AT THE PENTAGON IN THE US…

Lieutenant: Sir! There's something coming from space at a fast speed!

4 Star General: Bogey is coming from the direction of Mars.

Lieutenant: He's coming so close…

Captain: What is it?

Secretary of Defence: Where is it?

4 Star General: The bogey is in Earth's atmosphere.

SOD: Alert the NASA base. They have a shuttle up there.

UP IN SPACE…

Astronaut: Houston? What's the problem?

Reply: There's a bogey coming from your right. You are to return to base immediately.

Astronaut: My scope's negative! I'm not picking up anything!

Reply: It's out there. It's definitely not man-made.

Astronaut: Just let us finish this improvement to the ISS.

Reply: Get the f*** out of there…. *the transmission was abruptly cut off*

Astronaut: Houston, do you copy? Houston, do you…ARGH!!! *Astrotrain came out of no where and blasted the shuttle to bits*

Astrotrain: I have what I need. *he transformed into the space shuttle* Trok de kerr ah… tug e rety new sta! Ter trio!*(Translation: Astrotrain prepared to land… Precede with bringing the forces, Starscream! Got them by surprise!)* This is going to be easy. *he blasted through the Earth's atmosphere at full speed…*

IN MANHATTAN…

Person: Hey! What's that up there?

Police officer: Looks like a space shuttle!?!

Person: What's it doing here? *the city started to shake and glass started shattering*

Police Officer: Get off the road! Get off the road!

*people started scrambling as the space shuttle roared overhead and landed on the road smashing cars, buses, and killing more than 200 with the death toll rising…*

AT SAM WITWICKY'S HOUSE…

Silverbolt: So your parents are completely fine if I stay here?

Sam: Yeah, you and your friend. Just as long you don't make a mess.

Silverbolt: Well I'm relatively clean and I'm not known for making messes. *he sat down on one of the sofas and turned on the T.V.*

Reporter: And now we have breaking news. Somewhere in the Earth's atmosphere, a space shuttle disappeared of the radars of countries from all over the world. Just suddenly vanished into thin air. And now there are confirmed reports that a space shuttle just made a touch and go on a road in Manhattan just recently. Now here's Shirley with that report.

Shirley: Thanks Bob. As you can see right behind is a devastating work of a space shuttle landing on this very road then taking off. Over 200 have been confirmed killed and over 500 injured in this deadly attack. People are questioning if its terrorists. Others think it had a malfunction but the problem was fixed. The one's being held responsible right now for the sudden two events is NASA. Now back to you Bob. *Sam turned off the T.V.*

Silverbolt: Well that's strange…

Sam: Very interesting…

Silverbolt: What do you think it is?

Sam: Decepticons.

Silverbolt: Decepticons? How could that be? They were disposed into the Challenger Deep never to be heard of.

Sam: But the Autobots fled from Cybertron because of the Decepticon attacks. That means that one probably fled to Cybertron to bring more back up….
