Cybertron was once beautiful and whole, but now it's in shambles and barely standing. The War between the two factions did this and had forced many Cybertronians to flee there home and wait safely for the war to end...if it ever will. But many had stayed behind to either conquer Cybertron or Save it. But there are also some who are just trying to survive. Energon is becoming hard to come by, well, to the Autobots since the Decepticons have managed to take control of almost all of the main areas that produce lots of energon. The Autobots are forced to scavenge for Energon and to fight for it...
Somewhere in a citied area...
There was a group of Decepticons transporting a whole shipload of Energon in a transport vehicle, the reason they didn't take to the sky's was because they didn't want to risk losing it to any Autobots who might be scouting the area or just spot them.
Leading this group of cons was a Decpticons who appeared to have a black and white color scheme who had the words Punish and enslave in cybertronian on a pair of brass knuckles he had. This is the ex-cop Decepticon enforcer Barrcade. He used to be a very stern cop before the war but now he's Megatrons enforcer when it comes to scouting missions and dealing with prisoners...
((Barricade - War for cybertron mixed with last Knight
"Keep an eye out for anything! Lord Megatron will have your heads if he doesn't get this shipment of Energon!"Yelled out Barricade as he looked back at the troops with much strict orders and high authority in his voice.
As the troops kept a sharp eye for any movement or anything that could be troublesome to them, there was four figures in the shadows near a destroyed building." Move into position and prepare to send these slagging cons to the all spark." Said a Feminine voice as she held a blaster in her hands.
One of the bigger figures that had a cylinder like shape on his chest was laughing quietly." Those cons ain't gonna know what hit them." He said right before heading into position.
The smallest of the group hand turns into a cannon of sorts." Let's hope this works, we need that Energon or docs not gonna be able to patch up anyone." He had what looked to be horns on his head. He sneaks away to get into position.
The second biggest figure had his large arms crossed, there was two large cannons, one on each arm." Think this plan will work?" He asked as he gets ready to head into position himself.
The femme figure nods a bit." Yes, it will work. Make sure to kill most of them but don't kill barricade. He's one of the more closer mechs to Megatron, which means he might know where my beloved is..." She said as she grips her gun tightly a bit.
"Hey, don't worry, if he's anything from what you told us, he's might still be alive and fighting." Said the big figure right before leaving, getting ready for the ambush.
Once everyone was in position, the Femme aims her gun at a Con and fires. She gets a headshot and then causes all the cons to look around at where the shot came from, as this happened, the sound of a vehicle could be heard just ahead.
Barricade growls a bit as he and the troops look ahead and sees a small yellow vehicle driving right towards them, he recognizes that paint job anywhere." Bumblebee! Decpticons! Open f-" he was interrupted by a huge explosion from right behind him a bit ways back.
Bumblebee used this distraction to transform and open fire on some cons. Bee is the Autobots best scout and self proclaimed fastest as well, though not as fast as one particular bot, then again no one's faster than blurr.
((Bee- wfc/Foc
There was a red tank on top of a still standing building, that's where the explosion came from."KABLAM!" The tank had yelled as he fired again, killing quite a few cons. This was Warpath, a bit of a nut job when it comes to explosives and loves saying the word KABLAM.
((Warpath-WFC/Foc
A red vehicle comes rolling in from behind and then transforms and fired as many cons as he could before doing a barrel roll and aims his cannons at the very few remaining cons and Barricade." Weapons down and No sudden movements." This is Ironhide, the Autobots weapon specialist. He enjoys enjoys breaking enemy forces and also enjoys fighting alongside a very special femme to him.
((Ironhide-WFC/Foc with Bayverse canons
The very few Decepticons had now choice but to surrender, much to Barricades dismay and anger. He then looked over and saw a pink femme walked over. It was Arcee and she had a serious expression on. She walked over to Barricade and glares at him." We'll be taking that Energon and some information that I know you." She said as she aims her gun right between his eyes, making him shake a tad. Almost anyone would be a bit shaken when having a gun aimed right at one's head.
"And what information might that be?" He asked as the Autobots began to cuff up the cons and after that they had begun to prepare to take the shipment of Energon away.
She glares at him as her gun charges up, her finger tightening on the trigger slowly." Where.Is.Grimlock?" She demanded to know with fire in her eyes.
Barricade knows who that is and where he is being held at. He is scared of that...monster. He remembers showing up one day to get shockwave because Megatron ordered him to. Barricade caught him just as Shockwave was experimenting on Grimlock and it was horrifying. The noises he heard from Grimlock shook him to his spark, it sounded monstrous and the claims grimlock made to kill every Decepticon in the base made Barricade believe Grimlock could do it." You should forget him...shockwave did something to him...made him into a monstrous beast. Even chained almost everyone is scared of him." He admits.
She knew it, she knew that grimlock was still alive. She immediately pressed the gun against his forehead." Location...now!" She growls a bit in frustration, she needs to know now.
Barricade is hesitant for a bit but complies since there's no way the Autobots will be able to make it there safely, especially with the extreme weather and the dangerous creatures there. He taps a few things on his arm as it opens, he sends her the exact coordinates to Shockwaves laboratory." He recently has been moved to shockwaves new laboratory in the sea of rust. Good luck ever getting there, that place is a bots worst nightmare." He said with a grin.
Arcee glares at him...and then hits him hard with her gun, spilling some Energon and knocking him out. She then sighs a bit and then smiles a bit." He's alive..." she said as she then walked over to the others who are ready to roll.
Bee smiles a bit as he walked over to the group, he had just checked out the amount of Energon in the vessel." Looks like we hit a pretty good one. There should be enough Energon here to patch a bunch of Autobots up." He said with a smile.
"Alright! That's what I like to hear!" Yelled Warpath with a laugh. This was great news to him and his audio receptors.
Ironhide sighs a bit at young warriors enthusiasm." Easy there cannon head. We still gotta get it back to base before we can celebrate." He said as he crosses his arms.
After that comment, the Autobots soon took the haul of Energon away to the Autobot base in iacon, one of the few remaining Autobot city's and bases left on Cybertron. They were lucky enough to not run into any trouble along the way there. Once there they deposited the Energon to some troops who were waiting for there return.
Arcee walked over to the autobot soldier." Where's Prime? I gotta talk to him now, it's important." She said immediately, she wants to go out to the sea of rust immediately and not waste any time.
"Primes talking to Ratchet, wheeljack, and Perceptor about building something." Said the Autobot as he and a few others started to unload the Energon from the vehicle.
Arcee nods a bit and then turns back to Bee, Ironhide, and Warpath." Thanks for the help guys, see you around oh and Ironhide, say hi to chromia for me." She said as she then left to go and find prime. As she speed walked though the base a bit, she eventually made it to the laboratory of the base and spots Four figures.
On the right side was a white mech with some red horns, red hands, and red shoulders. He looked to be a older mech fellow. This is the Autobots medical officer Ratchet." I believe your right Perceptor, it would be possible to make such a ship, but the amount of Energon needed would be more than we currently have, and there's also to account the injured."
(( Ratchet-idw mixed with bit of wfc/Foc
Right next to Ratchet was Perceptor and is a mostly red Autobot with a shoulder cannon, but it wasn't its function mostly, it went along with his alt mode which helps him examine stuff better." I understand your concerns Ratchet and they are completely logical, but with this ship built, we can leave Cybertron and let the Decepticons die out and then come back." He said. He is the main scientist of the Autobots.
((Perceptor-Foc mixed with a bit cyberverse
The Mech on the very left had a white color scheme with some green and red added and had fin like things on the sides of his head. He also had a mask on." We can worry about the Energon when we cross that roar guys, plus we have the schematics all ready. I think we should get to building this thing. What do you think Optimus?" He asked. He can build and create almost anything, he is the Autobots top engineer for a reason.
/Wheeljack-Foc mixed with a tad of g1
The last figure is Optimus prime, leader of the Autobots and holder of the matrix of leadership. It's an Ancient item that was created by primus himself and given to the first of the 13 primes and had been passed down to each prime. He has a red and Blue color scheme going on and wore a mask. He was in deep thought for a moment before nodding a bit." Very well, but know that we cannot save much Energon for the Ark right now. We must have enough to sustain our fellow Autobots. Nor without leaving with the Allspark." Spoken like a true leader.
/ OP-idw mixed with WFC
Arcee's footsteps could be heard from behind them all and so they all turned to look at her. They all immediately noticed that she appeared to be in a kinda happy mood, which is extremely Rare for as long as they have known her." Optimus! I need a small team to go with me to the sea of rust now!" She said immediately, not even gonna explain herself.
"Arcee, calm down and slow down. Please explain why you need to head to the sea of rust." Optimus said, wanting to know the reason behind this brashness.
Arcee sighs and then nods a bit as she does so and then gets ready to explain herself."Optimus, I found Grimlocks location. He's at shockwaves lap in the sea of rust. I have to go and free him now." She said. She has been waiting for this moment for so long she can't let anything get in her way.
Hearing this caused Perceptor to speak up." The Sea of Rust? That Place is crawling with all sorts of savage creatures and if what you say is true, then it's also most likely gonna be crawling with Decepticons, I'm sorry but I believe it would be best to hold off going there." He said, speaking out of logic.
Hearing this Angered Arcee, she is not gonna wait, Grimlock could possibly be moved again and she may never find him again, she was about to yell at Percy, but then Wheeljack spoke." Hold on Perceptor, this is the perfect time to go to the sea of rust! You heard Arcee, Shockwaves lab is there, which means a lot of Decepticon data and Energon will be there!" He argues with logic at perceptor.
Soon Ratchet joined in saying that if they go then many could get injured and that they shouldn't risk it. The trio continued to argue on about this, as this Happened, Optimus left the room with Arcee." Arcee, I know you have been waiting for an opportunity like this, but do you believe you and a small team can sneak in and Free Grimlock?" He asked her.
She nods a immediately." Yes sir. I only need two or three bots at most to join me." She said as she looked up at the prime, mentally praying to primus that Optimus let's her go.
Optimus was in deep thought for awhile before turning and looking at her." Very well. I recommend you take Jazz, and Cliffjumper. They will be happy to help you out I believe and be sure to ask sideswipe to take you and your team to the sea of rust." He said as he heads back into the room to deal with the three smartest Autobots who are still arguing like children.
Arcee immediately runs off to find the bots. She runs past a few bots who were carrying some supplies and Energon. She eventually found the bots she was looking for and lucky for her they were already by a ship,talking.
Cliffjumper is a red bot, has a similar build to Bumblebee and has horns that are a lot like his but grey."What? There's no way that's true." Said Cliffjumper as he was messing with arm gun, adding a new mod to it. Cliff is a bit of a nut job when it comes to doing crazy stunts.
((Cliff- Foc mixed with Tfp
Jazz has a whitish color scheme with blue lines and had a blue visor on, kinda looking like shades. He's a groovy bot who loves to show off his moves and is a pretty chill bot even when on the battlefield." It is! Boss bots thinking about us leaving cybertron once we're all ready to roll. I don't wanna leave but it's not like the cons are giving us much choice." Said Jazz as he was making adjustments to his grappling hook.
((Jazz-Foc
The third bot was scrolling through a tablet, he was making sure the ships scans were good. This red bot with white stripes is sideswipe."Well if we gotta leave then we better leave soon. Our supplies aren't looking so good and with the more of us that get injured, the less chances we got dealing with the Decepticons. We'll need a miracle to keep on going if we lose anymore autobots." Said Sideswipe as he sets down the tablet, having finished checking the ship. Sideswipe used to be a racer punk, but then stopped that when the war came around. He still causes a bit of mischief but not to much, his twin brother does enough as well.
Arcee smiles a bit as she walked over to them." Hope you boys enjoyed your break because were going to the sea of rust so let's go." She said as she walked into the ship, ignoring there reactions to seeing her smile.
The trio were a bit shocked by this, ever since she had joined the Autobot cause, not one time had they seen her smile or act happy, well not this happy anyway." Woah now, before we head out, wanna tell us what's given ya some happy vibes?" Asked Jazz as he gets on the ship, walking past him though is Sideswipe who heads right to the pilot seat and started up the ship.
Arcee grins a tad as she looked at Jazz and Cliff who just got in himself." After so long, I've finally got the location of my Conjunx endura. He's being kept at shockwaves lab in the sea of rust." She explained as the ship takes off, the bay doors close once out of the base.
They all were surprised by this, but they all were happy for her. Any good news at all in this war was good." That's great news Arcee, happy for ya! But uh, don't get this the wrong way, but how do you know he's still alive?" Asked Cliff, wondering how can she be so confident that he ain't dead.
Jazz hits cliffs arm which gets a hey from cliff and then Jazz shakes his head a bit." Not cool Cliff, raining on her good vibes." He said, a bit disappointed in his friend but also messing with him.
Before Cliff could say something, Arcee spoke up." I know because the con I integrated had seen him and told me so himself...but he also told me that the one eyed freak changed him...but I don't care because I know that no matter what, he's still Grimlock." She sounded so sure and determined.
This made the trio start to believe her." Well then we better get there as fast as we can so everyone hold on!" Yelled Sideswipe as he kicks things off into a high speed. It might take awhile for them to reach the sea of rust but it shouldn't take to long if they don't run into any trouble along the way there, But will they get there in time or be to late?
At the sea of rust in shockwaves lab...
There were many Decepticon soldiers there but not only were there Decepticons, there were a bunch of bug like Cybertronians called Insecticons. Shockwave had recently Discovered them and now commands them in a way, though the other Decepticons remain on guard whenever any of them are seen. Speaking of shockwave though, he was currently walking to his lab. Along with him were three unique Insecticons, theses are the more intelligent ones, they control the others, kinda.
(( Grimlock-Foc
((Shockwave-Tfp mixed with Foc
Shockwave was Walking with three Insecticons named Hardshell,Sharpshot, and Kickback.
Hardshell was bigger than the other two but is surprisingly less sick as them, he prefers to kill his prey quickly but savagely with his strength or with big explosives that completely destroy his prey.
Sharpshot was a bit smaller than hardshell but he is way more sick than hardshell, he enjoys watching his prey suffer from being shocked and electrocuted to death.
The last Insecticon is the smallest and the skinniest of the trio, he is Kickback. He enjoys jumping his prey with many other Insecticons, but he's also psychotic and tends to repeat his words a bit. The others don't do this, it's just something he does.
(( Bug trio- Foc
"The subject continues to resist every test. I suspect they were administered incorrectly." Shockwave said. Ether it was a good thing or a bad thing that the test subject has been rejecting the test.
Sharpshot growled a bit, he may follow shockwave and obey but he hates having been basically told he screwed something up."I assure you, the tests were done as you instructed."
Shockwave turned and stared at Sharpshot for awhile, creeping out the bug for a bit." We shall see, Sharpshot." He had said just As the they all enter the lab.
At the lab chamber, it was surrounded by some of scientific materials and experiments. Grimlock was restrained and tighten by the crane's claws. Shockwave stood before the angry and growling Grimlock. Meanwhile, Hardshell walked over to the computer to wait orders from the boss. Kickback and Sharpshot stood behind of Shockwave.
Shockwave spoke while holding his holographic pad, to enter a new entree to his personal log."Shockwave's log 77839 - Project beast has been quite promising. The subject's core functions are operating within tolerable level - despite complication encountered during microsurgery. Subject's power reading have increased tenfold, thanks to my rerouting Energon feeds from all but the most basic of cerebro-circuitry." He then turned to Harshell." Hardshell, administer stress test 878." Shockwave orders him as he then looks at Grimlock, awaiting to see how to test subject reacts to this test.
Hardshell nodded a bit as he pressed some buttons on the computer. Within the next second, a couple of blasters emerged from the ground and then once armed, they all fired at Grimlock. He yelled and growls in pain as he struggled, trying to break free so he can kill everyone here, but his strength is being constantly sapped to ensure that he doesn't escape so all he can do right now is endure the pain from the blasts. After awhile, the moment had passed, the blaster stopped firing at Grimlock and then submerged to the ground. Grimlock breathed heavily and as he stopped moving and struggling.
Sharpshot growled in anger, "It hardly flinched! Let me play with it!"he said with a sadistic grin as he steps forward, getting closer and almost at arm's length of the big guy.
Shockwave stops him luckily, right before anything could happen. "In due time Sharpshot. Insecticons, follow me." Order Shockwave who must take care of other matters.
The Insecticons obeyed, Shockwave's order, following out of the room and away from Grimlock. At the labs doors were a bunch of guards there, meant to stay there and make sure no one goes in.
Just as the small group was out of sight, the guards head into the lab and stare at Grimlock and to chat since there bored and find staring at the monster to be a bit fun." Look at the freak...I really hope they ship him out to the front lines soon so he's far away from me as possible." Said Guard one as he stares at the big bot for a while before looking at the other guards.
The second guard nods a bit." Your telling me. Speaking of things far away, i really miss femmes. I don't think I remember the last time I saw one." Many Femmes and sparklings were sent off world to avoid getting killed and were put in stasis to remain safe. Now there are not that many left on cybertron.
The third guard laughed a bit." Well the Autobots got a pink one last time I checked so your out of luck." He said as he leans against the door.
That caused a chain reaction, the guards then talking about Arcee and what they would do to her if they had then chance, as they talked more, Grimlock heard all of this and this pushes him past his limits.
Grimlock yelled and struggled against his restraints, this freaked the guards out but then they remembered that shockwave said they are constantly draining his strength so they aren't as scared anymore...well that is until the restraints started crackle with electricity and started to break.
"Sound the alarms! The prisoners breaking free!" Yelled the fourth guard as they all then aim there weapons at him and began to fire at him...but it did nothing to the Titan.
With one last pull, Grimlock yelled as he yanked his arms free from his imprisonment. This made them all stop firing out of fear. Grimlock then growls a bit as he stares down at the cowering guards, watching one run away and lock the doors once he was on the other side, leaving the other guards to die. Grimlock growls as he brings out a huge sword.
"Put the weapon down prisoner!" Guard one said as he stares up at the towering monster in front of him.
"Not prisoner! I! AM! GRIMLOCK!" Grimlock yelled as he swings his sword, cutting them all in half with one swing and then he watches as they exploded. He then puts his sword away as he walked towards it and then punched it down, sending it flying down the hallway. His strength was back and better than ever.
Just as Grimlock was about to keep moving forward. Lots of guards started to come into the hallway and fire at grimlock who tanks the shots with ease, they were weak and not worth shielding against. But it looks like he will have to fight his way out of the place...good thing he wouldn't have that any other way.
Meanwhile outside...
Sideswipe was struggling a bit to control the ship with the crazy wind going on. He looks back at the others as he opens the bay doors as he got a blot closer to the ground, though still high up to avoid detection and because of the storm." This is as far as I can go, I'll stick around the area for when you need to be picked up!"
"Thanks sideswipe! Now are you two ready to fall with style?" Asked Jazz with a smile as he brings his fist out for them both to bump it.
Cliffjumper nods with a grin as he fist pumps Jazz." You know I always am Jazz." He said as he then runs out and does a flip out of the ship, falling straight towards the ground.
Arcee walks over to the edge and was about to jump, but then noticed that jazz still had his fist up, wanting a fist bump." Come on now, don't leave a bot hanging."
She rolls her eyes as she gives him a bit fist bump as she then jumps out, speeding towards the ground like Cliffjumper. Following her was Jazz who did a few spin moves just before landing on the ground right after Arcee.
There's was lots of dust in the air and the crazy wind was making it worst."We gotta find a way in without getting detected!" Yelled out Arcee as she leads the two through the crazy wind, passing by a few rusting building. As the trio kept going, they all heard loud explosion and screaming up ahead.
"That doesn't sound good." Said Jazz, pointing out the obvious. The trio quickly run forward, eventually getting out of the storm and into a area that's protecting them from it. They are currently in the area close to shockwaves lab. They kept on walking and sneaking around till they got to a door and before anyone of them tried to open, Cliffjumper suddenly picked up some Con signals.
"We got some cons coming this way, what should we do?" He asked Arcee since this is her mission and she's in charge of it.
Arcee doesn't even hesitate as her arm transforms into a gun." We take all but one down, after we integrate the con, scrap him." She said, going back to her more usual state, well to them it's her usual state.
The two nod as they bring out there arm guns as well, ready to open fire on the coming enemies. The all went behind cover as they heard a couple of footsteps running in there direction.
All the cons were on high alert, apparently Shockwaves experiment broke free and it was the big one, and that scared a lot of them." We gotta get that thing recaptured somehow or we're all going to the scrap he-"He was interrupted by getting shot right in the head, and then falls down, dead.
The Autobots kept on firing as they got out of there cover, soon killing all but one, who survived by using one of the other cons as a shield, very cowardly..." wait! Spare me! I gotta get out of here before that thing finds me!" He yelled.
This got the attention of the Autobots, mainly Arcee who walked over and aims her blaster right at him." What thing are you talking?"she demanded to know.
"P-Project Beast! Shockwave turned some gladiator into a monster and now he's free and killing everyone!" He said as he was shivering quiet a bit. That must be grimlock, who else could that possibly be?
"Sounds like we found out Bot, and from the sound of it he's pretty grumpy." Said Jazz as he transformed his arm back to normal, the same with Cliffjumper who walked over to the doors to get them open.
Arcee was livid to hear that her Beloved was free and fighting his way to freedom. Seeing as the con has told her everything she needs, She now no longer needs this con alive. Just as she was about to end his life, the con said something very interesting." Oh primus if he breaks the others out then this whole place is even more slagged then it already is."
This got all three Autobots attention." Others?" The all had asked. This means that shockwave experimented on more than just Grimlock, speaking of him.
Back with Grimlock...
Grimlock was tearing all who got in his way and destroying everything around him, unleashing his overwhelming and bottomless rage on everything. Eventually his rampage brought him to a huge semi darkish room with a couple of stasis pods. Five pods to be exact. Grimlock growls a bit as he walked by them, staring at the bot's inside." There...like me." He said. They were all experimented on by shockwave it seems, perhaps they will join Grimlock to seek revenge as well, or just to escape after destroying the whole place.
Grimlock knew what he had to do next, he started to tear open the pods, freeing them all. Once they all were free, they each started to wake up slowly. The first to get up was the smallest of the group." My head...wait...what the scrap happened to me? How did I get here?" Asked the bot as he looked at himself, seeing how much he had changed.
Grimlock was surprised by this, he seems to not remember what had happened to him but Grimlock remembered everything since he was kept awake for the whole thing."Shockwave take you. Take all of us. Experimented on us all and changed us." He said, struggling a bit with his words.
The bot looked over at the towering bot in front of him. It didn't take him long to figure out that this bot freed him and the other bots." Let me guess, we're breaking out?" He asked.
Grimlock nods a bit as he then saw the others getting up, being a bit confused as well. Grimlock explained things the best as he could, struggling a bit but they understood it all."So, are you with me or will you all run away?" He asked, waiting for there answers.
The group looked at one and other before looking at Grimlock. The brownish bot with some blue on him growls a bit as he decided to answer for the group." It would be an honor to fight through this place alongside you, Grimlock." Said the bot. This bot assumes it must be grimlock since the head looks about the same and he has seen this bot before.
The others were shocked when they heard this and all look at him immediately. This was Grimlock?! The Gladiator?! They couldn't believe they were meeting him." Your that Grimlock?! The one from kaons arenas?!" Asked the biggest bot of the group, second only to Grimlock.
Grimlock nods a bit." Yes, surprised anyone remembers me back then. But what are your names?" He asked, having no idea what to call them individually since he never learned there names.
The small bit with wing like fins on his back decided to speak up first." Names Swoop, I was one of the best fliers cybertron had ever seen, or I was till the war happened." He said.
The next to speak up was a bot a bit bigger than swoop, He had what appeared to be three horns on his back, two long ones and one smaller one." Names Slug, I used to demolish roads for a living."
The third to speak is a bit bigger than slug but almost the same bight. He had a lot of fins on him." I'm snarl, and I uh used to be a medic before all this." Snarl was referring to the war and before being kidnapped and changed by shockwave.
The next bot was a bit taller and bigger than snarl. He had a brownish and blue color scheme going on and his chest resembles some kind of creatures face almost." I...don't remember name, but I do remember the word Dinobot so that must be my name, but I remember that I was a warrior of sorts with honor." He said with a small growl. Seems like his memory was messed up a bit.
The last bot was bigger than Dinobot a bit." I'm Sludge and I used to break down buildings for a living, kinda like slug here." He said, motioning over to said bot.
((Dinobots-Foc
((Dinobot-Forged to fight
Now that Everyone knows each others names, it's time to Destroy this place and then leave. Grimlock walked out of the room with the others following behind him." After we're finished dealing with shockwave and this place, were will we go boss?" Asked Swoop, stepping over a dead cons corpse.
Grimlock kept on walking towards a set of large doors that are sealed shut, not questioning why swoop called him boss." Go to iacon and join the Fight against Megatron and the cons." As he punched the doors and sent them flying.
This plan...was the greatest plan of all time. As the group kept walking through the halls, they eventually made it far enough to another set of doors but instead of it being sealed shut, they were wide open. Grimlock and the group walked in, but remained on guard, but the moment they all were, the doors behind them sealed shut.
"None of you are leaving this place alive!" Yelled Familiar voice to the group. Grimlock growls in anger as he saw that it was Hardshell who was standing right in front of a giant turret of sorts. With him were Decepticons known as leapers and there were quite a few of them.
Before anyone could do anything, a voice rang out through the room as a large hologram of a very familiar one eyed con appeared on it." Welcome Dinobots to your first test. I had prepared for this day for quite some time. Each of you had been redesigned and vastly improved upon, but you, Grimlock, you are my greatest experiment. I've siphoned your cerebral circuitry to push additional power to combat-related function. Frankly, I'm amazed that you can even talk. 98.7% of your re-design is dedicated to the total destruction of your enemies." He said. Seems like Grimlock is Shockwaves more worked on and most powerful Experment yet.
Grimlock growls in much anger." Lucky you." He said then looked over at the opponents in the room and growls a bit.
"What is our battle strategy?" Asked Dinobot as he brings out his sword, ready for combat.
Grimlock thinks for a moment but within seconds he had a plan." I'll take care of the leapers, the rest of you take out the bugs big guns, watch each other's backs." He said right before charging right into battle and began to slay and kill some Decepticons, as he does this the others obey his orders and begin to attack while dodge the shots from Hardshells turret. As this continued, each of them end up transforming into there Dino modes, soon finishing the job with much ease.
As this went on, somewhere close by was Arcee, Cliff, and Jazz, having successfully made there way up and through the tower. As they kept on moving, they soon discovered a total massacre in the hallway." Could this be ya boos doing Arcee?" Asked Jazz as he steps over a few sliced up Cons.
Arcee stares at the corpses for a bit as she walked over them, and then looks at Jazz and nods a bit." Yes, it has to be." She said just as a huge explosion was heard close by.
"The scrap was that?!" Asked Cliffjumper as he changes his arm into a weapon quickly. That explosion shock the area a bit.
Arcee immediately dashes and runs towards where the explosion came, ignoring Jazz and Cliffjumpers yells, trying to get her to stop. She kept on running till she came across a sealed door with the sounds of fighting coming from there, she the heard a name of the one she has longed to be with again." Grimlock! The bug and his guns have been squashed, now what?" Asked a voice who she didn't know, but she didn't care since all she needed to was that Grimlock was in that room.
"Grimlock! Are you really in there?!" She asked loudly as she bangs on the door. There's no access panel or anything to get the door open so her options are limited.
Cliff and Jazz arrived as she continued to bang on the door." Woah there Arcee, it could be a trap in th-" Cliff was interrupted when everything started to shake a bit, it got worse for a bit when it suddenly stopped.
Jazz was about to ask what in primus was that, but that was stopped when the door was tore right off and then tossed to the side by a behemoth of a Bot. Him and Cliff were both speechless and shocked by this, But Arcee...she slowly walked towards the towering Grimlock.
Grimlock is silent, he has thought of this moment for so long he doesn't know what to do. It was one of the only thing's keeping him sane. Grimlock takes a knee and lowers himself a bit more to be closer to her level. His battle mask folds down." Arcee..."
Arcee gently puts her hand on the right side of his face, smiling softly." Hey there big guy...we're finally back together again." She said as she then wraps her arms around his neck, leans in immediate and presses her lips against his, making out with him a bit.
Everyone was very surprised by this sudden action, but Jazz and Cliff were less shocked a bit by her Kissing this bot in front of them and more shocked by the size of the bot.
"Look at this, seems like the boss has a Conjunx endora." Said Slug with a small grin as he and the others walked on over, shocking the two Autobots even more.
After a few more seconds of the couple's passionate reunion, the stop and then Arcee lets go as Grimlock rises to his full height. Arcee then looked behind Grimlock and sees the others." Are they like you? Did they also get experimented on?" She asked.
Grimlock nods a bit as he then turns a bit and then motions toward them all." Shockwave changed us, changed us into what he calls Dinobots." He said, struggling a tad.
Arcee noticed this and it broke her spark to see what Shockwaves experiments did to her love. She will make that one eye cyclops pay.
The Dinobots all started to introduce themselves, but when they got to Dinobot, things were a bit confusing." Hold up, You guys are called Dinobots and his name is Dinobot?" Cliff is a bit confused.
Dinobot growls a bit as he walked over to Cliff." It was confusing at first but the confusion did not last long." Dinobot said as he puts his sword away.
While they all were talking, Jazz was thinking about how the heck they all were gonna fit into the ship to leave this place." Arcee, how are we gonna get out of here with everyone? The ship won't be able to fit or carry all of us." Said Jazz.
Arcee was about to tell him they will have to find a way, Grimlock spoke up." We're not going anywhere. Not till we have Shockwaves head and destroyed this place." Said Grimlock as he turns and started to walk towards the doors at the other end of the room the Dinobots were in.
The Dinobots followed there leader, Arcee followed behind him, not wanting to leave Grimlocks side again, Leaving both Jazz and Cliffjumper behind." Woah now! We didn't come here to destroy or take anyone out. This was supposed to be a rescue mission!" Said Cliffjumper as he and Jazz jog after them all.
Grimlock got to the doors and tore them off and tosses them away." Mission just changed." He said with a growl as he walked through, heading closer to a unstable floor, staring down at it before stomping hard, breaking it and then jumps down.
Arcee jumped down as well, landing next to him and leaving the Dinobots and other Autobots back on top. The Dinobots started to jump down, following there leader." If I were you two, I'd follow Grimlock." Said Swoop as he jumps down and then transforms midair and starts to fly after the others.
Jazz and Cliff look at one and other for a moment, trying to decide what to do. It didn't take long for them to choose to go after the walking titans.
As the whole group continued to navigate there way through the area, they all started to notice a bunch of large eggs and smaller sized eggs ahead, both are bigger than the Autobots but not as big as the Dinobots." What the slag are these things?" Asked Cliff as he walked towards one and started to tap it.
Because of that single tap, it caused a chain reaction and that egg hatched immediately and then the rest started to hatch slowly, in the eggs were Insecticons, and seeing them caused anger to Grimlock." Insecticons..." He the brings out his sword while the others bring out there weapons as well, except slug who transforms and runs right towards a bunch of bugs, killing them.
The Autobots opened Fire on the bugs, there attacks were killing the bugs but took a lot longer than it did for the Dinobots.
"Why are there so many of them here?!" Asked Arcee as she jumped onto Grimlocks shoulder and fires at the bugs, getting headshots in while Grimlock slashes and stomps on the bugs.
"Shockwave must have did this!" Said Grimlock as he grabs a bug and then throws it hard at a small group of the bugs, killing them all.
Soon all the bugs were gone and dead." That was intense." Said Jazz as he looked at all the dead bugs.
"If you thought that was intense then I'm not sure your gonna be able to handle more." Joked Snarl as he chuckled a bit as he and the other dinobots walked towards grimlock, Cushing the dead bugs.
Grimlock growls a bit as he stares at the dead bugs, thinking about what he's gonna do to Sharpshot and Kickback, but then stops when he felt Arcee touch his head a bit." Don't worry Grim, we'll make the con pay, make them all pay." She said with a small smile as she then jumps down and walked over to the Autobots to check and see if they can keep going.
Hearing Arcee's say that makes Grimlock believe that he will have Vengeance against the con. He was about to tell her something when he heard a familiar crazy laugh and a repeating voice." Oh how precious, the Stupid dinobot has a lover, but not for long!" It was Sharpshot who was up high, standing on a platform.
Next Sharpshot was kickback who was laughing a bit." I bet she will be tasty tasty tasty!" He said as he jumps off the platform and down onto the ground away from the Dinobots.
Grimlock becomes very angry when he heard this." I'll tear you bugs apart and then your master!" He yelled as he charges at Kickback, the others just wait to watch him kill the bug.
But Kickback wasn't an idiot to just jump down without a plan, his antennas moved a lot, he was signally for some special reinforcements. Rising up from underground, Insecticon bruisers screeched as one of them attacked Grimlock, sending him back a bit." Oh look Grimlock, there as big and tough as you!" Said Kickback while laughing.
Grimlock growls a bit as he quickly jumps onto the big big and then cuts off its head." No one's tougher than me!!" He yelled as the Other bruisers charged at him.
The Dinobots immediately transform into there Dino modes and attack the Insecticons along side the boss. As this went on, more of the regular Bugs started to pop up and the Autobots were struggling to deal with him." Don't let up! Keep fighting!" Yelled Arcee as the bugs were started to swarm.
Grimlock saw this and the thought of losing Arcee here and now made him feel so much rage it overwhelmed him. He yelled loudly, making the fighting stop and caused them all to look at Grimlock. He snarls and growls as he slams down his fists to the ground and started to transform into his Dino mode, a T-rex! Grimlock then started to rampage, tearing the bugs apart with very little effort.
Kickback and Sharpshot were both scared for there lives, the dinobot some how managed to override shockwave's programming." I-Impossible! He override shock-" Kickback stops the moment Grimlock opened his jaws and fire comes out right at Kickback and a few Insecticons, melting them all.
Sharpshot knew that if he stuck around then he will be next, he quickly transformed and then flies away, but he didn't get very far because Swoop and Dinobot both shot at the bugs wings, eradicating them and causing the bug to crash to the ground, transforming. Dinobot and then other Dinobots started to surround the bug." Where is shockwave?!" Demanded dinobot as his eyes glow grin as he snarls and growls a bit.
Sharpshot is shaking with fear." H-He's gone! Told us to buy him time to return to Megatron!" He said, spilling everything immediately.
This was very displeasing, especially to Grimlock who heard it just as he was killing one of the last bugs. He then growls as slowly approached Sharpshot, growling, his jaws opened.
Everyone just stood there and watched as Sharpshot started to back away slowly." S-Stay away! Y-You stay a-AHHH!!" He was grabbed by Grimlocks jaws and then crushed to death as Grimlock shakes the body violently before dropping it and then stomps on it hard, destroying it completely.
Grimlock growls a bit as he then transforms back, standing up as he stares at the cons dead corpse." He's not here..." Grimlock then yelled as he then slams his fist into a wall, causing the entire wall to collapse and more, making a huge hole. The big guy just remains where he's at while everyone is just staring at him.
"So uh...who wants to go find a ship?" Asked Cliffjumper as he started to walk away with Jazz, both not wanting to be here in case Grimlock goes on a rampage.
The Dinobots thought it would be a good idea to give the boss some space, so they go with the Autobots, well Except Arcee and Dinobot who stayed behind. Dinobot looked at Arcee." I believe it would be best if you talked to him, help clear his mind a bit." said Dinobot as he then went after the others.
Arcee was already gonna talk to him. She walked over to him and slowly reaches up and grabbed his hand, holding it." Grimlock...we will get him. I promise, But first we gotta win this war." She said.
Grimlock slowly looked at her and then sighs a bit as he held her hand." Your right...let's get out of here." Grimlock said as both him and Arcee leave and go after the others.
Later...
Sideswipe was flying around the ship, keeping the comms open so the others can signal for a pickup. But as he was flying around, he noticed a big Decepticon Airship. He was about to fire at it to try and take it down when he spotted a panted on Autobot logo on it which made him very confused, till he saw the doors open and spotted Cliffjumper with Arcee and a bunch of new large bots." Looks like they made it out with more than just one bot. Optimus is gonna be surprised by this." He said as he flys on out of there, the Others followed him. As both ships flown away, something started to pour into the sea of rust...something blue and familiar...
This war is about to get most interesting now that Grimlock and the other dinobots are free, but will they be enough to help tip the tides in the war?...most definitely.
