"Your final words?" Shatter asked with a cruel smirk on her face
"Till all are One" Optimus said brandishing his blade, while the Decepticons armed themselves with their own weapons.
"Noble sentiment" Dropkick said as he was about to fire on Optimus "NOW DIE!"
"OPTIMUS!" Bumblebee shouted as he transformed and kicked Dropkick in the head before shooting Shatter in the knee
"YOU!" Shatter shouted
"B-127?" Optimus asked shocked as he blocked Deadlock's sword with his axe
"Good to see you" Bumblebee smiled as he shot Shatter and Dropkick
"Now we have you" Dropkick shouted.
"Or do I have you?" Bumblebee asked blasting Dropkick in the face before flipping around and blasting Dead End in the back then punched Drag Strip.
"Optimus, Ratchet; we're coming!" Arcee shouted as Ironhide and the other transformed and started to fire
"Arcee, watch out!" Ironhide shouted as he shot at Wildride before Arcee slide underneath Deadlock's sword.
"YOU!" she shouted, upon seeing the sword user
"Yeah me, didn't think I would be back after carving up what's her name Roulade, Ruler" Deadlock taunted
"HER NAME WAS ROULETTE! YOU DRAG OFF!" Arcee shouted
"Oh that's right; she was cute," Deadlock laughed.
"WHY YOU!" Arcee shot at him, only for it to be deflected by his sword.
"Try again" Deadlock laughed as he went to stab Arcee, only to have his sword blocked by an axe
"I'll be your opponent" Optimus declared
"But Optimus!" Arcee shouted before she was punched by Shatter "Then against you weren't one to go against Femmes" she snarled as she transformed and raced off, leading Shatter away from the bigger battle.
"ARCEE!" Bumblebee shouted as he transformed and follow her
"Bee!" Bulkhead cried out while he slugged Dropkick
"I've got him!" Dead End shouted following them
"NO!" Optimus shouted.
"Stop running coward" Shatter snapped at Arcee who was leading her away from the main fight, unaware that Bumblebee and Dead End were following her. Once she was fair enough way, Arcee pulled a 180, transformed and shot at Shatter, who skidded into her, transformed and kicked her in the head. Arcee tried to get up, only for Shatter to stamp on her "Don't think so" she smirked as she placed a cannon by Arcee's head
"NO!" Bumblebee shouted as he grappled Shatter, only to have his shoulder skimmed by one of Dead End's plasma burst, forcing his attention onto the stunticon instead of Shatter
"Come on bug, I'll squash you" Dead End said as Bumblebee drew out a small axe
"You can try!" Bumblebee snapped as he deployed his battle helm, he charged at the Stunticon, who lowered his shoulder, so Bumblebee would flip over it when he hit. Arcee managed to shoot Dead End in the back, allowing Bumblebee to get a swing in with his axe. Shatter was about to shoot Arcee, except Bumblebee shot her first making her scream.
"Sir!" a solider ran up to Gildarts as he headed for a Black Hawk on the helipad
"Let me guess, we got more aliens?" Gildarts asked
"Yes sir, looks like two groups" the soldier said
"I see" Gildarts said "So, things are getting complicated; a whole lot around here."
"Indeed sir" the soldier said
"What's your name kid?" Gildaarts asked making the soldier salute
"Hughes sir, Warrant Office Maes Hughes" Hughes saluted
"So, what would you do?" Gildarts asked
"Observe, then help one side" Hughes said
"Alight, let's go!" Gildarts shouted leading Hughes to the Black Hawk.
Optimus quickly blocked Deadlock's sword with his axe, deflecting it into Wildride's aft in time to have Ironhide grab the Stunticon's head and bring it down into his knee. Drag strip was blasted by Downshift.
"This is getting us nowhere" Bulkhead shouted bashing Dropkick with his wrecking ball
"No kidding" Downshift said as he kicked Drag Strip in the neck while Wildride aimed at Ratchet
"RATCHTET!" Optimus shouted before he was blocked by Deadlock
"I don't think so Prime" he laughed before the fight was on pause as Wildride had their friend at Gunpoint "Now weapons down"
"Prime, what should we do?" Bulkhead asked
"Weapons Down Autobots" Optimus ordered, making the other Autobots stand down.
"Good bugs" Wildride sneered as he kicked Ratchet
"Why you" Bulkhead said before a helicopter was heard
"Now what?" Drag Strip asked.
They all looked to see a Nocturne Black Hawk approaching, Maes and Gildarts on board, the pair frowned as the saw the situation
"All units target those with red eyes" he said
"Sir?" Maes asked
"Something tells me they're the trouble makers" Gildarts said
"Down there, civilians!" Maes spotted the group
"Damn girl! Pilot take us down!" he shouted as the Black Hawk lowered to where the others were waiting "GET IN!" he shouted
"But" Masane said
"IN NOW!" he barked as they all got in, the Black Hawk lifting off once Shigure sat down and the doors closed "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"
"Hey, we were just heading back when we were drawn into this shit" Masane said
"Indeed" Kushina said
"Oh well, right now we need to wait for the reinforcements" Gildarts said
"What?" Masane asked.
Arcee was flung into Bumblebee
"This is not going well" Bumblebee groaned
"No slag!" Arcee said before they heard a jet fly over, this made Shatter smirk
"Keep them busy" Shatter said
"Where are you going?" Dead End asked
"You get the high ground" she said speeding off in her alt mode
"But that's" Dead End said looking at the two Autobots who had aimed at him "Mercy?"
"After you showed us none?" Arcee asked
"Yes" Dead End gulped
"Nah!" they shouted as the two Autobots opened fired on Dead End
"WAHH!" Dead End shouted before the jet came back, only instead of being fully grey, this one had red markings and fired at the Autobots as it passed over them
"She's a triple changer!" Bumblebee exclaimed in shock
"Not good" Arcee frowned.
Deadlock swung at Optimus, who grabbed his axe, holding Deadlock off with it
"Optimus, we're coming!" Bulkhead shouted
"Don't think so" Wildride and the other Decepticons opened fire on them
"We need to get our weapons" Ironhide said
"Why not use our in built weapons?" Bulkhead asked
"because they have Ratchet" Ironhide frowned looking at the helicopter. 'And then we have that buzzing around, which we don't need in case one of them is a triple changer'
"This is a bad situation" Downshift stated
"You got nowhere to run" Drag Strip said
"WHO SAID WE RUNNING!" Beachcomber shouted as he drove up and transformed, taking the cons by surprise "Sorry I'm late, I hung back when that helicopter showed up"
"Well done Beachcomber" Optimus said
"We got you, Doc," Bulkhead said helping the medic up.
"Thank you, and good to see you" Ratchet smiled.
Dead End dove out of the way of the energy bursts
"Where is she?" Dead End asked, barley dodging a shot from Arcee. Thinking quickly he blind fired from cover at the two, who managed to find their own cover. Bumblebee nodded to Arcee who nodded in return before opening fire on where Dead End, Bumblebee quickly and quietly flanking the Stunticon. Once he was close enough Bumblebee, he placed his gun on the back of Dead End's head, the Decepticon gulped
"Oh great" Dead End nervously said before the red and grey jet flew back over, circling around them making Dead End smile when the jet opened fire on Arcee; who was ducking behind cover to try and not get it, which was hard due to the fact that Shatter was airborne
"Damn" Arcee said as she shot at Shatter, who's air capabilities were making it easier to dodge the Autobot Sharpshooter "I didn't think it would be possible that she could get a flight mode"
"So, how are we going to beat her?" Bumblebee asked
"I'm not sure we can" Arcee frowned.
"What weapons do we have on this thing?" Minato asked
"None, this is a transport copter" Maes shouted
"Shit" Minato growled
"Can you get back up?" Masane asked
"Yeah, we are waiting" Gildarst said before his radio flared to life "WHAT!"
"That doesn't sound good" Nerumi said
"One of them scanned our scout jet" Gildarts frowned
"Great they now got air support!" Masane shouted
"I know" Gildarts frowned.
"This day cannot get any better" Shigure groaned.
Optimus stood his ground, his axe in his hand as he and the rest of the Autobots started down the Decepticons
"Just give the word prime, and we'll give them a few dents in them" Ironhide growled
"Easy, Ironhide" Optimus said
"What are we waiting for?" Downshift asked as he aimed at Drag Strip
"A signal I hope" Bulkhead muttered
"Indeed" Optimus said before he glared at the Decepticons
"Which is?" Ironhide asked
"NOW!" Optimus shouted as he glared at the Decepticons, with all of them pointing their blasters at the Autobots.
G'day Guys Grizz here, and wow that was a full on chapter, and yes, I made Shatter a triple changer to add a new difficulty for them to deal with as well as introducing another character that we've seen in Legacy of the Lost: Maes Hughes everyone. He's addition was a spur of the moment to make that unnamed soldier in the last chapter have a name and why not the leader of one of NEST's greatest combat units. Sadly there are only two more chapters left, but then we'll dive straight into Roar of the Beasts, which I'm excited to show you what I hav eplan for it may be the darkest of the the four Legacy Verse transformers fics I've ever done. But damn it will have some surprised
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
