"To All Autobots within range of this signal:our planet is dying,we have no choice but to take to the stars, I'm ordering the evacuations of all Autobot cities effective immediately."
That was the order that echoed throughout all the Autobot communication channels, not a single bot could believe it,force to leave their home instead of staying and fighting to the very end,most Autobots didn't like it but they knew deep down that they couldn't stay on a dying planet so they had no choice but to evacuate. So far only half of the Autobot forces managed to leave the planet the other half are busy holding back the Decepticons and this was going on before the ark launched,after the Ark launched and Optimus Prime and Megatron and their Autobot and Decepticon forces disappeared into the space bridge to Primus knows where, it was now time for the very last bit of the Autobots to leave and the process like always was a bit challenging.
In The Upper Atmosphere
A small convoy of Autobot ships have begun leaving and headed for the stairs however the ride didn't go as smoothly as the Decepticons attacked the ships however as soon as they broke into the Atmosphere the Decepticons broke off the attack, letting the Autobots continue on. On one of the ships Impactor former Decepticon turned Autobot wrecker leader began to radio down to the planet surface, "Impactor to Ultra Magnus, the convoy has broken through the upper atmosphere and the Decepticons have broken off their assault,see you among the stars."Impactor said as he gazed out into the windshield which showed the endless vastness of space.
Iacon
Meanwhile down on the planet's surface on the ruined Autobot capital of Iacon,ships were still launching into the sky and Decepticons were still attacking some Autobots were engaging cons on the grounds while some armed with turrets shot the others out of the air,one of the Autobots manning the turrets was Dinobot Snarl, he shot down Decepticon after Decepticon which was a beautiful sight seeing them crash and burn to the ground.
"These cons really thought that they could stop an entire armada?"Snarl muttered to himself as he continued firing however unknown to him a few Decepticons who downed some Autobots were approaching Snarl "Time to finish off some Autobot ground support."one of them said cocking his blaster but before he could do anything he heard a voice speak "Finish off, We're just getting started!"
It was then the Decepticons turned to see Grimlock along with Sludge,Slug,Slash,Slam, Swoop,Scorn and Paddles charging towards them with weapons drawn, "Dinobots Attack!"Grimlock ordered as he swung his sword slicing in half the first Decepticon he saw. Slug transformed into Triceratops mode and gored a few Decepticons with his horns "Nothing I like more!"Slug declared as he looked to the right side of him to see Slam batting a Decepticon trooper away with his mace "Oh yeah, bet I can trash more cons than you can!"Slam said playfully "You're on!"Slug said as he charged at a group of Decepticons running towards him Slam saw a group of cons coming at him as well and he transformed into Ankylosaurus more and with a bellow he swung his tail batting them away.
Sludge and Scorn in Spinosaurus and Apatosaurus modes respectfully were stomping, swiping and biting any Decepticon that was dumb enough to come near them, Scorn cleaved a trooper in half with his jaws which made him chuckle "I'm starting to like my new form."Scorn said with glee "Makes smashing cons far easier."Sludge said as he let out a growl as he bit down on the torso of a trooper and Scorn with a mighty roar breathed fire on the rest of the group burning them to ashes.
Slash and Paddles was slaying Decepticons left and right and were having fun doing it, Slash transformed into Velociraptor mode and pounced on a con and started mauling him ferociously and then Paddles transformed into Elasmosaurus mode and tried to charge at the cons approaching him but he could barely move on the ground because of his flippers. The Decepticons aimed their blasters at him and were about to fire until Swoop flew over head and fired missiles and then caused small explosions and knocked the cons to the ground.
Paddles let out a frustrated growl as he felt his dino mode was useless "Arghhh,I hate my beast mode!"Paddles cried out in frustration Slash approached him still in Velociraptor mode feeling bad for Paddles "look it's clear your beast mode isn't for situations like this,so how about you stay in robot mode."Slash suggested Paddles transformed back into robot and with a swing of his tail arm he batting a con away.
Snarl was still firing on Decepticon ships and fliers he glanced at the fuel gauge on the panel which read 5% Energon "Got 5 percent Energon left Grimlock, tell that last ship to get out!"Snarl shouted as he continued firing unaware of the lone deception trooper sneaking up behind him only to be knocked on his backside but Sludge's tail. "Watch your back Snarl."Sludge said making Snarl glanced back at him "You paying attention Sludge,I got my hands full."Snarl said, meanwhile Swoop was dodging blaster fire from the Decepticons below him Swoop chuckled with amusement as the Decepticons couldn't hit him even once.
"So is there a Decepticon School where they teach you to miss?"Swoop asked as he fired multiple missiles at the cons engulfing them in fiery explosions, Grimlock slashed one final Decepticon with his sword ending the ground assault, "Aw no more?"Slam asked disappointed as he was just getting warmed up. It was then Ultra Magnus's voice sounded off in their comlinks "Dinobots the last ship is away,evacuate now."Ultra Magnus ordered however that was something the Dinobots weren't ready to do just yet as there was something very important they wanted to finish on Cybertron.
"Not yet Magnus, Shockwave is still online."Grimlock said with hate in his vocal processors,Ultra Magnus shook his head slightly after hearing that While Ultra Magnus understood the Dinobots desire to put Shockwave into the scrapheap in fact he wanted to put Shockwave down himself but there were more important things going on rather than seeking revenge.
"Grimlock I'm sympathetic to what Shockwave did to you and your team and I understand your anger, but your obsession with terminating Shockwave is clouding your logic circuits,you must stop for Primus sake."Ultra Magnus said trying to talk some sense into Grimlock but unfortunately Grimlock wasn't listening. "We are going to join the fight in making the Decepticons pay for ruining Cybertron and making us flee our home but first:me and my team are going to pay Shockwave a little visit once and for all,over and out."Grimlock said as he looked around then he heard Snarl's voice "Hold on Grimlock it's not over yet, there's some cons on that last ship's tail,and I'm out of ammo!"Snarl said with concern it was the Swoop jetted to the rescue "Not a problem."he said as he dispatched the Decepticon ships with minimal difficulty.
As the ships all crashed and burned into the ground Swoop transformed and landed beside his Dinobot teammates it was then They heard Ultra Magnus's voice once again "Dinobots I must appeal to you again, we could use your might among the stars, cybertron is dying there's nothing left for you guys here."Ultra Magnus said rather desperately "Dying not Dead...yet."Grimlock said with low growl and a clenched fist.
"We cannot leave Cybertron yet, not until Shockwave pays for what he did to us."Scorn growled clenching his fist the Dinobots nodded in agreement and Ultra Magnus sighed with a heavy spark seeing as there was zero way to talk them out of this futile revenge mission "Stubborn as always, alright Dinobots,good luck on your mission, Primus speed."Ultra Magnus said as the comlinks beeped ending the conversation.
There was a moment of silence between the group as now they were on their own the Autobots are gone now it was just them and the Decepticons and Shockwave,which is exactly what they wanted. Grimlock turned to Slash "was your friend from ninja academy able to discover Shockwave's new hiding spot?"Grimlock asked.
Before they helped with the evacuation the Dinobots had begun hunting for Shockwave, Slash was able to recruit an old cyber ninja friend to help them and his search was successful "Yep,he sent me the location before he hopped on a ship,that one eyed mad nerd is hiding in Tyrest."Slash said making Grimlock's visor glow red for a brief moment "let's go get him."he said with hate filled venom.
