WARNING!
Major character deaths! Bring lots of tissues!
N.E.S.T. Headquarters, 30 minutes after the massacre
James Savoy wrinkled his nose in disgust at the sight before him.
Dead bodies lay everywhere. Some were from his own team, but most were from the soldiers of N.E.S.T. who died to give the Autobots enough time to escape.
Well, that didn't turned out quite well. We managed to kill one of them. He thought as he glared in pure hatred at the remains of a blue robot being hauled away by his men.
As he was contemplating what to do next, his radio crackled.
"Team Bravo, we lost the Prime. He escaped." Said one of his agents at the other end.
"Damn it!" He muttered angrily. Then he replied, "What of his escorts?"
"Two of them escaped too. Those twin Corvettes. But we manage to kill the red Ferrari. Blew off his ugly face myself with a rocket." The agent said with a dark chuckle.
Savoy laughed at this. "Good! Very good!" He grinned. "Pursue the twins, then report back to me once you've found them." He paused, then added. "Dead, preferably."
"Of course. I'll call you again later." The agent said before the radio went silent.
As he was placing it back to its holder, three of his agents approached him.
"Sir, we captured this one." One of them said before he stepped aside to reveal the two other agents holding a tiny robot with an injured leg.
"Let me go, you assholes!" It screamed loudly, making the four of them winced in pain.
"Should we kill it?" The first one said as he pulled a gun and aimed it at its head.
Savoy shook his head. "No. Put it in a cage then deliver it to KSI along with the dead one. They'll know what to do with it."
"What about the media people? They'll be arriving soon. What should we tell them?"
"Tell them what they wanted to hear." Savoy smirked. "That these aliens are a threat to us, which is why we stormed their base. As for the soldiers, we can just tell them that they were brainwashed or something. I'm sure the public will believe every word we'll going to say. For good measure, find a good computer expert to edit the camera footages."
The agent nodded then left, his companions trailing behind him and carrying a screaming robot.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS! OPTIMUS AND THE OTHERS WILL KICK YOUR ASSES!"
"Not if they are dead." He growled before supervising the search for useful information inside the base.
1 week later...
A group of four different vehicles silently drove towards a large abandoned warehouse. The lead one, a yellow and black 1967 Chevrolet Camaro, entered the gates followed by a green 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray and a black and blue 2013 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. Behind them, a dark green Oshkosh Medium Tactical Vehicle trailed slowly. Entering the large doors, they were greeted by a green Rescue Hummer H2 waiting for them. At once, all five vehicles shifted into robots.
"Are you sure you were not followed?" Ratchet spoke as he transformed.
"Of course not! We always travel by night." Bumblebee replied as they gathered in a circle.
"Bee, it doesn't matter if its day or night. A military truck and three sports cars traveling together are a strange group if you ask me." Crosshairs snorted.
"Crosshairs is correct." Drift agreed. "Unfortunately, a certain yellow bot ordered us to stay together even though it will certainly attract unwanted attention." He said while glaring at Bumblebee. "Not to mention, he almost risked exposing us when he tried to approach Sam Witwicky, whom he recently saw at a restaurant yesterday."
"Well, at least I know that my friend won't betray me. Unlike a certain ex-Con who killed his own master just because his idol ordered it." The scout retorted, making Ratchet, Hound and Crosshairs winced.
"You insolent child!" Drift snarled as he drew a katana and tried to slash at Bumblebee. Using his agility, the scout calmly stepped aside to evade him and casually pointed his arm cannon to the samurai's head.
"Sorry, Deadlock, but this child has just whooped your ass." He said simply. Not giving up easily, Drift slammed his shoulders on the young bot's chest, making him lose balance and fall on the floor. Using this as a diversion, he pinned Bumblebee on the floor with his legs, grabbed his neck and slowly scraped his katana along the bot's throat.
"One more word regarding my past, and I'll make sure to severe your head and send it as a peace offering to the humans." He growled.
"That's enough, both of you!" Ratchet said sternly.
Hound grabbed Drift by the shoulders and pried him away from the yellow scout, who stood up and rubbed his throat while glaring back at the former Decepticon.
"If you guys want to kill each other, better do it where there are no other bots around. That way, you won't endanger the rest of us." He glowered at both of them as he chomped down on his cigar.
"Drift, Bumblebee, you need to set aside your differences for now and work together. With our current situation, we cannot afford to lose any more of us." Ratchet admonished. "Especially now that Optimus is missing."
The two mumbled an apology before they settled back to their previous positions.
Hound then spoke. "Wait. Optimus is missing?"
The Autobot medic sighed and nodded. "Yes. Our last conversation was after the attack. Since then, I've been trying to contact him. But to no avail."
"What about the Twins? Are they ok?" Drift asked with concern. Ever since arriving on Earth and learning that Sideswipe was also a swordsbot like him, the samurai have become a sort of student and rival to the silver Autobot.
"Last I heard, they were heading towards the Great Canyon after being seperated with Optimus. Before they shut down their comm link, they informed me that... Dino is dead." Ratchet gazed at the floor sadly. Bumblebee's shoulders slumped in grief at hearing this.
"Frag!" Hound muttered while Drift bowed his head in honor of another fallen comrade. Only Crosshairs seems indifferent. Though he shifted uneasily at the news.
"What about the Wreckers?" The paratrooper asked softly after a few minutes of silence.
The green medic shook his head. "We both decided to go our seperate ways. As Optimus have said, we all need to hide. And we can't do so if we are together."
"Does that mean we need to be away from each other?" Bumblebee asked sorrowfully.
Ratchet nodded sadly. "I'm afraid so, Bumblebee. Until such time as Optimus send us another message, we all need to survive."
"So, where are you going?" Hound asked him.
"New Mexico. My spark tells me that I can find clues regarding our leader's whereabouts in there." Ratchet answered.
The Autobot veteran nodded grimly. "I'll take these kids to Monument Valley, then. We can all hide there until Optimus returns." He paused, before adding, "I just hope he's okay."
"He will survive. He's Big Boss. He killed The Fallen himself. Humans don't stand a chance." Crosshairs said with confidence.
"Let's hope you're right." Hound muttered.
Silence filled the warehouse once more before Ratchet finally broke it.
"Well, I guess it's time to part ways." He looked around at his friends one last time.
"Take care of yourself, Ratchet-san." Drift bowed respectfully.
"You too, Drift." He answered. "'Til all are one."
"'Til all are one." They murmured back at him before all of them transformed and depart towards their respective destinations.
===LINEBREAK===
6 months later...
Leadfoot drove frantically away from his pursuers.
After half a year of hiding, him and Roadbuster had been finally tracked down by Cemetery Wind on an abandoned barn somewhere in the countryside. He was just coming out of recharge and about to replace Roadbuster in his patrol when his friend, in robot mode, rushed inside and told him of a large group of men approaching them.
"Quick! We must flee now before-" But before he can finish, a missile struck him at the back. Leadfoot immediately transformed and ran to his side.
"No! You must go!" The green Wrecker waved his hands as he groaned in pain.
"But I can't leave you!" Leadfoot protested.
"Topspin's death would have been in vain if we both die! You must survive!" Roadbuster said as he tried to stand up only to fall back down.
"Go." He said weakly.
Bowing his head in grief, Leadfoot transformed and drove away fast.
Now, after a day of never ending chase, the red Wrecker was already tired. His spark heavy with the loss of his friends and Cemetery Wind behind him, he didn't noticed the missile heading towards his location. As it hit him in the hood, Leadfoot immediately transformed and stumbled on the ground. Another missile hit him on the chest, making him kneel in pain. Due to the injuries, the soldiers quickly caught up with him and started to fire. No longer having the will and energy left to retaliate, Leadfoot raised his hands in surrender.
"Please! I'm an Autobot!" He pleaded desperately. However, his cries of mercy fell on deaf ears as they continued to brutally tear apart the last Wrecker. He tried to stand up, but a rocket blew of his left leg, making him fall on the ground. Another barrage of gunfire blasted his right arm, fully immobilizing the Autobot.
"Please..." Leadfoot pleaded one last time before his optics finally dimmed.
So, how was it? Good? Bad? :D
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it despite the fact that it's rather short than the previous one about Will and Epps. To tell you guys frankly, the last one was some sort of special tribute to those two since Bay just cut them from TF4 without ANY explanation at all. :/
