Black Wish Chapter 13: Crash Landings, a transformers/beast wars fanfic

Starscream led Miko and Raf down the hall of the Nemesis, and stopped when he got to the secondary control room, "This is where Megatron keeps all his files," he said. Starscream pushed open the door, and they walked inside. Starscream made his way towards the monitors, and began typing on the keyboards. Raf looked over his shoulder while Miko stood at the door, "Hmm, it says that the cure is on board already. Knock Out must have found it after he pushed Optimus and Ratchet into the hole. If I'm right, Megatron will be keeping it in his study," Starscream closed the files, and they walked over to the door. Miko looked out, and heard voices.

"Who's that?" she asked, and the three looked out.

"Miko?" Jack asked, a vial in his hand, "How did you get on?" Starscream stepped out from behind her, "That explains it."

"You found the cure," Raf said happily.

"With Soundwave's help," he said, and they saw the Decepticon behind him with Airachnid as well, "We need to get out of here before Megatron gets on board, and finds out that..."

They heard a roar, and the sound of a bookcase falling to the ground, "He knows," Starscream said, "Run."

A cloud hangs over this city by the sea
I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be

They ran down the hall, and stopped. Knock Out stood in their way, "Now, where do you think you're going?" he asked, a smirk on his facial plating, "You can't just take the cure and leave. Megatron needs you here Starscream," he said, looking down at the boy. Starscream's eyes went wide.

"He...he knows."

"Of course he knows. Your friend there wasn't very... convincing at playing blind," he said, "Now, give me the cure," Jack shook his head, and fired a missile at Knock Out. They took off running down the other hall while Knock Out inspected his armor.

Out there and sober, as a well from loneliness
Please do persist, girl it's time we met and made a mess

They ran into the control room, and slammed the door shut. Soundwave and Airachnid stood against the door, holding it, "We have to land, or do something to get out of here," Jack said, as Raf made his way to the controls, "See if you can get a message to Optimus and tell him where we are."

BANG!

They turned their heads, and saw the door shake, "It's Megatron!" Airachnid shouted, as she pushed back against the Decepticon Lord. Starscream grimaced, and jumped over the control panel. He looked at the controls over Raf's shoulder.

I picture your face at the back of my eyes
A fire in the attic, a proof of the prize
Anna Molly, Anna Molly, Anna Molly

"I think I got it," Raf said.

"Hurry!" Airachnid said, as Megatron pushed harder against the door. Raf quickly typed a message, and sent it to Optimus. Megatron burst through the door, sending Soundwave and Airachnid into the walls. Miko screamed, and jumped over the controls, avoiding Megatron's blast from his cannon.

"This is not the excitement I wanted!" she yelled, peeking up. Jack tossed the cure to Starscream, who caught it. Megatron looked over, and growled at him.

"Give it to me Starscream."

A cloud hangs over and mutes my happiness
A thousand ships couldn't sail me back from distress (distress)

Jack stepped in front of them, "You'll have to get through me first," he said, aiming his missiles at Megatron. The Decepticon Lord laughed.

"Try and hurt me," he sneered, and ran at Jack. He grabbed him by the waist, and slammed himd down on one of the panels. It sparked, causing the lights to flicker.

Wish you were here I'm a wounded satellite
I need you now, put me back together, make me right

Jack grunted, and shoved Megatron off. He punched him in the chassis, and Megatron stumbled backwards. Miko took out her cellphone, and began recording the battle, "This is gonna be sweet!" Starscream rolled his eyes. Megatron scratched Jack's optic. Jack cried out, and covered it, giving Megatron the advantade over him.

I picture your face at the back of my eyes
A fire in the attic a proof of the prize
Anna Molly, Anna Molly, Anna Molly
I'm calling your name up into the air
Not one of the others could ever compare
Anna Molly, Anna Molly

"You really thought you could take me, didn't you?" Megatron sneered, pushing Jack down on the ground, and stepping on his chest cavity, "You're so weak, boy," he spat.

Wait, there is a light there is a fire
Illuminated attic fate
Or something better, I could care less
Just stay with me a while

Megatron pointed his cannon at Jack's face, "Too bad your little friend Arcee isn't here to help you," Megatron was unaware that Soundwave was quietly walking towards him.

Wait there is a light there is a fire
De-fragmenting the attic fate
Or something better, I could care less
Just stay with me a while

Soundwave grabbed Megatron by his waist, and flung him into one of the control panels. Megatron shook his helm, and looked over at Soundwave, shocked. Starscream was also shocked. Soundwave was completely loyal to Megatron, no matter what, and now he was turning against him. Megatron growled at Soundwave, and lunged at him, slamming the Decepticon into the main controls. A wire made contact with Megatron's armor, and soon sparks began to fly. Megatron roared in pain, as he and Soundwave were electrocuted. The ship jolted, and soon the alarm began to sound.

"What's happening?" Miko yelled. Airachnid looked over at the controls, and saw they were flashing red.

"They've destroyed the controls! The ship is going to crash!" she yelled back. Raf looked over at Starscream, eyes wide with fear.

"Everyone to the back of the ship!"

Anna Molly

They ran to the back of the ship, and Airachnid opened the landing dock. Air went past them, almost knocking everyone off their feet, "You need to jump!" she yelled over the wind, "It's the only way out!" Miko looked over, and stepped back.

"I'm not jumping."

"You have to!" Jack said, and grabbed the three of them. He looked back at Airachnid, who was holding onto the side of the ship, "Thank you!" She shouted something, but they couldn't hear it over one of the wings breaking off. The ship groaned, and a large crack appeared in the middle.

"JUMP!" she screamed, just as she lost her balance.

Anna Molly

Jack took a deep breath, but the part of the ship they were on lurched forward, and Miko fell out, screaming, "MIKO!" Jack yelled, and jumped out after her, Raf and Starscream following him.

Miko screamed as she tumbled through the air, wind rushing past her. Jack folded his arms close to his body, and dove towards her. Raf opened his eyes, and gasped, "Oh...I didn't realize how high up we were!" The vial slipped from his hands, "Slag! Starscream the cure!" Starscream looked at it, and reached out to grab it, but it was quickly slipping away from him.

Bumblebee looked up, and pointed at the sky. Optimus turned towards it, and squinted, "Oh no," he said, "We need to be ready to catch them!" They heard an explosion behind them, and saw the front part of the Nemesis was on fire. Bulkhead's optics went wide.

"MIKO!" he yelled, and began running towards her, "MIKO I'M COMING!" He transformed, and drove quickly towards them.

Miko looked down, and saw the ground getting closer. She screamed, waving her arms, "HELP!"

Bulkhead transformed, and jumped in midair, grabbing Miko. He rolled on the ground, and landed on his back. Bumblebee jumped up, and grabbed the cure. He held out his other hand, and Raf landed in it. Raf grabbed into Bumblebee's hand, "Bumblebee, put me down on the ground please," Bumblebee knelt down, and placed him down on the ground. Raf closed his eyes, breathing in the smell of grass.

Starscream grabbed onto Jack's shoulder, and saw the ground getting closer. He closed his eyes, waiting for the impact. Jack grabbed him, and threw him away from the ground, just as he slammed into the ground.

Stasrcream landed in his foot, and felt a jolt of pain run through his leg. He cried out in pain, and fell down, clucthing his ankle. Miko rushed over, "Are you alright?"

"My ankle," he said, grimacing. Ratchet made his way over, and knelt down.

"It's sprained," he said, and looked at Starscream, "It could have been worse," Arcee rushed over, and looked around.

"Where's Jack?" she asked, his optics scanning the area. They heard a groan from the bushes, and Arcee rushed over.
