Title: Messages from the grave!

Chapter 11 - Great escape

'...blah...' normal talking.

'...'blah'...' ghost talking/flashback talking.

Note: I know the chapters are getting smaller. Message is on the bottom of chapter 10.

Some few miles ahead of the secret base...

Steal-Thind stood before his weapon, holding the prototype in his hand. 'Now to activated the powerful weapon, and with a test run, prove my threatening to those cursed Autobots, and Decepticons for that matter, and prove I'm the powerfuliest of all Cybertronians!'

Nearby, the Autobots were closing in on Steal-Thind's ship.

'There is it!' Bluestreak points to the black blur ahead of them in the sky.

'Ok. Hold on!' Proton said, making a hard right to pull up beside the ship.

Steal-Thind opened the slot in which to place the prototype. 'My moment of fame...'

A huge bump on the ship knocks him over! He places the prototype on the ground, and runs to the cockpit.

'What's going on here!' he ordered to know.

'The enemy are closing in! They took out our comrades!' the pilot responded.

Steal-Thind looked out the window, and sees Proton and Prowl steering the ship. He roared in anger. 'Fire back!'

The servant activated the cannons. The two cannons fired one at a time at them.

Proton steered the ship to avoid the shots.

'Man this will be a challenge, and I love challenges!' he said.

'Keep firing!' Steal-Thind ordered. 'Don't stop! Keep firing! Kill them!'

Onboard their ship...

'Let's fire at that ship. Take control of the laser gun!' Proton tells Bluestreak.

The silver mech stands at the controls, and nods. Aiming, and fires at the ship. The laser tore through the ship's core, and blew it up!

'Good work son!' Proton said.

'Dad. Activate a tractor beam!' Prowl said. 'We can free the servants of Steal-Thind. They need their freedom, not slavery!'

'Agreed.' Proton pressed a button. 'Activating Tractor beam.'

'And we can get the prototype!' Bluestreak said.

Onboard Steal-Thind's ship...

'Why aren't we getting away!' he threw a fit!

'They activated a tractor beam sir. We can't pull away! Power beam is too much for our advantage. They are coming aboard. And taking out our backup!' the servant replied.

Steal-Thind watches his army's ships be blown up by the laser gun. 'Fire at them!'

'We can't. All weapons are malfunctioning! Prepare for them to board the ship!' the servant said.

'We got them!' Proton said. 'Activating the tunnel to connect to the ship!' as he pressed a button.

A tunnel from the side of the ship activated, and attached to Steal-Thind's ship, making the mech really angry!

'Fools!' he whacked his servants. 'Prepare for battle!'

'Sir! We're servants, not fighters!' one of them responded.

Steal-Thind showed more and more of his fright, as the door blew opened, Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, Jazz, Bluestreak and more ran inside the ship.

Steal -Thind made a run for the door, and ran all the way through the corridor to where the weapon was.

In the cockpit though...

'What do you want?' the servant asked.

'Look, we know you work for Steal -Thind. But you can change. I know you don't want to rot after Steal -Thind gets his leadership over Cybertron, but you must know, you can come with us, change your lives. Have the lives you never had when you were taken away as sparklings!' Bluestreak said.

The pilots looked at each other.

'Stay here, and you're not safe at all! We can bring an end to Steal-Thind, right here, right now!' Rodimus said. 'Come with us.'

The pilots looked at one another, and nodded. 'Fine.'

Jazz ran back to them. 'Steal-Thind is activating the machine!'

'Ultra Magnus, Bluestreak, take them to safety onboard the ship. We're going after the big boss!' Rodimus ordered.

They nodded, and the 4 ran back to the ship through the tunnel, Jazz and Rodimus running to the weapon's room.

Steal -Thind quickly slammed the door shut, and bolted it shut. He picked up the prototype, slammed it into it's place, and fiddled with the controls. The machine whirred to life.

'YESS!' he laughed manically!

The door smashed down, with Jazz and Rodimus there.

'No!' Rodimus gasped.

'YESS!' Steal -Thind laughed hysterically! He turned the weapon towards them. 'Goodbye!'

Electricity sparked on the machine.

Jazz and Rodimus exchanged worried glances, and turned, running down the corridor as fast as they could.

Steal -Thind was just as shocked, wondering what was going on with the machine. As the sparks got worse..

'What in the name of...'

BOOM!

Jazz and Rodimus managed to get to the tunnel when the explosion happened.

They ran towards their ship, closed the blast doors, and departed from the ship, as it exploded.

Explosion in Steal-Thind's ship! What went wrong? Did the Autobots and Decepticons pull the ship away in time?
