Chapter 8

The War

Tony told Jazz to wait outside, if he wasn't back in 5 minutes to go in. It had been 4 minutes And Jazz was starting to get anxious, And then two Goons Walked towards jazz.

"This is the car that Tony Stark arrived in?" One goon asked, Taking a closer look At Jazz.

"Yeah Kevin, It's his." The other goon told his friend.

"Want to take it for a ride, Steve?" Kevin said.

And then finally the 5-minute timer was up. Jazz transformed And looked down on the two goons.

"H-H-hey buddy we totally weren't going to-" Kevin tried to say.

Then his buddy Steve grabbed his arm and said "Screw this, we're out of here!"As they ran to their truck, they got in, and drove off. Jazz didn't try to stop them.

Meanwhile on the inside With Tony two guards were taunting him, he was Tied up to a bed frame All of a sudden A massive Rumble Was Heard outside And then Jazz broke through The wall and swatted a goon Aside and into a wall, Another goon Emptied an entire magazine into Jazz's Back, Unfazed, Jazz Just kicked behind him And sent the goon through the wall he had created to get in.

"Took you long enough." Tony said, Sarcastically.

"Sorry I took so long Tony." Jazz Apologized as he Gently pulled Tony Away from the bed frame.

"I'll find the Mandarin, you find Rhodey." Tony said. Jazz Nodded. Even though he Didn't know who Rhodey was, He knew that Tony was talking about the user of the Iron Patriot Armor.

Just then A man Came through the door "Tony." The man said

"Rhodey!" Tony said As the two men shook hands.

And then Rhodey looked up at Jazz, "Who's your new friend?"

"Just call me Jazz." Jazz said.

"Introductions later I'm pretty sure the Mandarin is still here." Tony pointed out.

Both Tony and Rhodey Went through a door and just watched all the exits of the building. Didn't know what happened inside but he did know that both of them came running out and told him to get on a boat Now they were currently sailing To a supposed dock. According to information they found, That's where they were keeping The president. Meanwhile Tony was Remote controlling his suit of armor to save the rest of the people on Air Force One.

Tony finally came out Of the room he was controlling the Mark 42 from and reported that he had saved Everyone. Meanwhile Jazz was Comfortable sitting on the boat which was much too small for him.But he continued to try and make contact with the rest of the autobots.

"Jazz To Autobot base come in." He called into the Combs but again like all the other times just static so he tried again, "Jazz to Autobot base please come in." But this time he got a response.

"Jazz, that you?" The voice of Bumblebee came Through. Jazz was so relieved he almost laughed.

"Bee, Thank God. Open up the ground bridge on these Coordinates When I say." Jazz said, As he completed transmitting the coordinates.

"Coordinates received, Jazz, but where exactly were you?" bumblebee asked.

" Long story, just be there when I tell you." Jazz said,Before signing off and going to report to Tony and Rhodey.

Jazz Walked up to Tony "The rest of the Autobots are standing by and ready, Tony." Jazz reported. Jazz hadn't realized how late it was, the sky was completely dark.

"Good, we're going to need all of them." Tony said as he pointed out towards the dock, Through the darkness among all The Shining Gold and silver lights of a regular dock, were countless red lights And they were moving like they were sentient.

Upon seeing all this Jazz muttered a single word That sent Shivers down Tony's spine, "Decepticons." Jazz Had a feeling that Decepticons would be there But he Would have never thought there would be this many Decepticons.

Jazz, Tony and Rhodey were all on the dock now Jazz in His vehicle mode Waiting for the Perfect time to call in the rest of the Autobots, It was supposed to be a moment of his choosing but instead a Decepticon chose for him. Jazz watched as a Vehicon walked Right past him for stopping and Took a closer look At Jazz's vehicle mode.

Upon getting to the front of Jazz It stumbled backwards and called out "Autobot!" Before grabbing its blaster, fortunately Jazz was quicker. Without even transforming he dodged all the shots And Ramming into the vehicle tripping him up Before transforming.

" Aw, Come on, man. Can't you Leave a bot alone?" Jazz asked, Sarcastically, Before Grabbing his Blaster and killing him. All of a sudden more shots Went Right over his head, more Decepticons were shooting at him, he Took cover behind A large stack of metal crates. Jazz made radio contact with the base and said "Now!" All of a sudden a Ground Bridge opened up, and Out came Optimus Prime Followed by Ironhide, Bumblebee and Arcee.

Optimus transformed and jumped onto a vehicon Slamming It to the Ground Before shooting it in the face with his iron Blaster, And then he proceeded to fire At the rest taking down 3 more.

Bumblebee transformed and using his smaller size, Easily Dodged A Vehicons Attack Before punching its knees bringing it down And A punch straight to the Head Followed by a kick to the Head knocking it off.

Ironhide Ran up And punched a Vehicon to the ground. He then grabbed its leg and Used it to Beat another vehicon Down, Before lifting the one he had Above his head And brought it down hard on his knee. He then proceeded to Tear the vehicon in Half.

Arcee Pulled out her sniper Rifle And blasted off The head of a vehicon, A vehicon tried to sneak up behind her And attempted to kick her But she saw this coming. She easily dodged and Engaged her arm blades And cut off It's leg, She jumped up and Impaled its Head.

Jazz popped up from behind cover And used his grapple To get as close as He could to a vehicon, While the vehicle was stunned from the grapple Jazz delivered Two quick punches to the sides Turned his arm into gun And then at point blank he blasted the cons head off.

As Jazz was fighting He looked into the distance And saw Countless glowing Lights Information and slowly getting closer The entire battle stopped To see what these things were As they got closer just saw what they were. Iron Man Suits Flying straight towards them,They all surrounded the dock where Tony and Rhodey Ran Towards.

Upon realizing that the suits weren't coming after them The battle resumed. Optimus Grabbed two vehicons and slammed them together Before tossing them aside, Optimus went to aim his iron blaster at a second Vehicon. When it knocked it out of his hand Optimus somehow got behind it. He grabbed the vehicle with both arms And tossed him.

Ironhide punched the con Optimus threw He then Elbowed another con Before pulling out his shotgun And put the con down, He pumped again And fired with one hand Killing three He racked the gun again but wasn't able to take out A con before he was tackled to the ground.

Before he was able to retaliate Jazz's grapple pulled the The vehicon Towards him. Jazz Ducked under A Vehicon's punch, he let the vehicon and he had grappled Collide Together, Jazz Dodged a punch And Drew his gun He shot the Closest vehicon And then used The corpse as a shield Letting it absorb some fire instead of him, He shot Over the shoulder twice killing one vehicon. While he was focused in the front A single vehicon Came up from behind and Grabbed his head and neck and held him still For his Decepticon allies to kill.

And that's when the vehicon's Head exploded Followed by the ones in front of him. He looked behind and saw Arcee With her sniper On top of a large Stack of crates. With every shot Arcee took, a con's head exploded.She looked down and realized that below her Was Vehicons climbing on top of one another trying to get To her And then she took a closer look at the crates Highly flammable warnings were all over the place. She armed a few grenades and jumped off,She Tossed the grenades and took aim At them With a single shot She stood off the grenades which in turn set off the stack Of crates. She landed with a roll And realize that she was now surrounded by vehicons And then behind her There was a horn She looked back and saw Bumblebee in his vehicle mode Driving straight towards her, she jumped up and landed on Bumblebee's roof, They drove around With Arcee taking pot shots at every Con in sight.

Arcee jumped off and out of Bumblebee's sight. Bumblebee transformed and jumped onto a vehicon, knocking it down. Bumblebee jumped over one and landed on its shoulders and begin punching it in the head over and over, And then behind him He heard a blaster charging up, He looked behind him And saw a Vehicon charging up his Blaster He jumped off the Con's back, Getting out of the way Of the blast allowing the vehicon To take the hit. Bumblebee performed a dropkick on the vehicon that attempted To kill him while he was on his friends shoulders But failed. He kicked the head, crushing it. Then Bumblebee transformed And rammed the legs Of the vehicons Knocking several Down.

To the midst of combat Somehow All the autobots ended up in a Circle formation In the same area One small circle of Color In a seemingly endless Sea of purple. All the autobots together Fighting in every direction Scrapping Decepticons with each shot and Eventually all the vehicons that Came before the Autobots were turned into scrap.

The Autobots all looked back at The dock Where all the Iron Man suits Went. The fight was still happening and it looked like The tides were turning Against Iron Man. Before the Autobots even had time to move to Assist, And then behind them A Truck horn Sounded, The Autobots barely had a second to roll out of the way, They all took a closer look at the vehicle. It looked very similar to Optimus's truck but Gray With a purple streak going around the vehicle.

It drifted to a halt with its nose facing the Autobots, Its grill was dark black except for one purple spot just above the grill, the Decepticon insignia, "It's a Decepticon" Arcee Informed the others.

Optimus knew who This Decepticon was, Motormaster Leader of the stunticons. A Decepticon experiment given Life by Megatron, Via the usage of dark Energon, he is a completely loyal Decepticon With the illusion of sentience. Created to counter Optimus prime. "Autobots help Tony. I will deal with him." Optimus ordered.

The Autobots knew that Optimus could handle this guy so without question they followed his orders and drove off. And then Motormaster transformed. He was mainly gray, with red Optics and a pale purple face. His chest was a darker gray, and the Decepticon insignia glowed bright purple at the top of his chest. His upper legs were also dark gray, while his lower legs were a lighter shade. He had purple details, shaped similarly to squares, on his shoulders, chest and lower legs. He was carrying his signature weapon; a dark gray sword that could generate electricity. He stood nearly as tall as Optimus.

Optimus looked at Motormaster and Said "Motormaster."

Motormaster only replied by running up and attempting to slash Optimus in half with his sword. Optimus easily dodged and kicked Motormaster in the back Causing Him to roll. Motormaster swung his sword through the air causing an electric Shockwave to head straight towards Optimus who wasn't able to Dodge in time and was hit directly in the chest. Optimus struggled to his feet as his circuits tried to compensate for the near overload amount of energy he just absorbed. Optimus turned his arm into a gun and channeled all unneeded energy into one single shot And fired, hitting Motormaster Square in the chest which sent Motormaster crashing through a wall.

Optimus fell to his knees, he had never expelled that much power in a single shot. But he knew the fight wasn't finished yet so he went over to the wreckage where Motormaster should have landed only to find a pile of rubble. Before Optimus could even think about walking away a fist came shooting out from under the rubble hitting Optimus right in the face causing him to stumble back as Motormaster stood up through the rubble.

"Ha, you really thought that was going to stop me Prime?" Motormaster said As he used his sword to help him up.

Motormaster held his chest in pain,The area where Prime had hit him Was completely blacked out The Decepticon symbol burned off his chest Leaving only a slight shadow. Optimus realized that Every time Motormaster tried to move his arms, sparks came out, which implied that Motormaster would hit much slower.

"I'm going to ask you one time: Why is Megatron working with These humans?" Optimus demanded, He knew Megatron Hated all forms of human life He would never even consider working with him so why was he doing it now.

"Wouldn't you like to know Prime." Motormaster said tauntingly before reigniting the fight.

Motormaster tossed a piece of debris towards Optimus which was easily dodged, Looked up and saw Motormaster Coming from above ready To cut Optimus Straight down the middle, Optimus moved to the Side Causing Motormaster to miss, Optimus then grabbed Motormasters hand and Twisted it in such a way that he was forced to drop his sword Optimus grabbed the sword and Stabbed Into Motormaster's gut. Motormaster Screamed in pain And stumbled back as he looked at his own sword that was impaled into his gut,He locked the back up Just in time to see Optimus kick the sword Almost completely through him Leaving only the hilt In the front While also sending him back. Optimus watched as Motormaster somehow got to his feet, Motormaster coughed out Energon as he Grabbed The hilt of the sword and pulled it out. The Stab Wound still pouring Energon.

Motormaster Then made a clumsy strike With his Sword Which Optimus Casually stepped to the side And grabbed Motormasters hand And broke the arm off Before kicking Motormaster away. Motormaster dropped his Sword And grabbed with his arm Once was Optimus slowly walked towards Motormaster Who began to back away, Motormaster turn to run when Optimus threw his ion blaster and shot him in the leg Causing him to fall Optimus walked up and and began to charge up his iron blaster point blank at MotorMasters head.

"Prime, please spare me. I'll tell you whatever you want." Motormaster begged staring straight at the charging ion blaster.

"I gave you that chance and you threw it away." Optimus said coldly before pulling the trigger and executing Motormaster.

Optimus put his ion Blaster away and looked Towards the dock, all sounds of Combat had halted, He transformed and drove towards the dock.

Once Optimus arrived,he saw the Autobots surrounding a glowing Human. "Autobots." Optimus said as he walked up.

"Optimus, good to see you, what happened to Motormaster?" Jazz asked, greeting his Leader.

"He is permanently offline." Optimus said He then turned his attention towards the human, "Who is he?"

"He's the one that runs this whole Decepticon-human cooperation." Ironhide Reported not taking his Optics off him.

Hearing this Optimus walked over to the human and picked him up "What does Megatron want?" Optimus questioned.

The human Was too terrified to speak. When he finally did it was in a stutter " I-I-I Don't know anything I-I Swear!" The human said, Optimus didn't reply or say anything he just kept on looking into the human's eyes, "He wanted me to Continue with my project something about an all powerful version of Something called Energon!" The human said.

This time Optimus finally said something "What was your project?" Optimus asked in a booming voice.

Terrified, the human said "It was a project to Create something that could regrow Lost limbs And walk through bullets like they're nothing."

"you will delete everything on This research. You will then turn yourself in." Optimus Demanded.

"Yes sir." The human said and with that Optimus dropped him.
