Chapter 18

A new recruit

Finding blackout had become top priority, the Avengers Searching every corner of the Earth, The Autobots standing by for either an attack or a signal that blackout has been found. Quicksilver was racing around the globe at super speed.

It felt like it had been Longer than the cybertronian war when blackout was finally located Inside Of a forest . Instantaneously The ground Bridge was opened And the Autobots rushed out only to see Blackout Surrounded by a company of vehicons all Firing at, Clint who was in the Remaining quinjet It was the only remaining Shield type quinjet too Doing his best To not get shot Down.

Optimus drew the star saber and Cosmic Shield And yelled out, "Autobots cover Clint,"

And With that The Autobots charged at once. Jazz Pulled out his blaster And fired several times Taking down several vehicons Before jumping up and Drop kicking A vehicon to the ground Before shooting it in the face Point Blank. Another con attempted to strike at him, But Jazz blocked it With his arm And shot the con in the chest. A Vehicon Attempted to hit him from behind But Jazz managed to roll out of the way And blast the vehicon.

Optimus Sliced a vehicon in Half And blocked a few Shots From other vehicons, One snapped a tree off the ground And Rushed at Prime, But Optimus cut the tree in half, Spinning around to get behind the vehicon Slicing its back open Causing him to leak Energon Before Optimus kicked him into a group of other vehicons causing Sparks to go everywhere And ignite the Energon Which caused an explosion that vaporized the nearby vehicons.

Bumblebee slid under a vehicon, Turned his hand into a blade and cut it at the kneecaps Before jumping up And stabbing into the vehicon's neck, Severing the head. Vehicon attempted to hit Bumblebee in the back but he spun around And cut the hand off Before drawing his blaster and blasting the con in the face.

Arcee Blasted away at The Decepticons with her sniper Not missing a single shot But eventually She ran out of ammo, So she engaged her wrist blades And charged in. She Slashed at the throat of one vehicon And stabbed into the chest of another one.

Ironhide Slammed One con to the ground and a massive crunch Could be heard. One con Attacked from behind but Ironhide Elbowed him in the face Before picking the con up, Lifting him above his head Before throwing him at another group Knocking them all down.

As the Autobots fought through the Decepticon company the Avengers Started arriving.Quicksilver started using his super speed to bring everyone to the battle And once he got Going to the battle he started using his super speed to disrupt the enemy in whatever ways he could.

Black Widow somehow managed to get on top of a few vehicons and stab them in the back of the neck with her Electric Batons momentarily shutting them down and giving the autobots an easy kill. Wanda used her Telekinesis to create makeshift Shields Out of Fallen debris. Captain America did his best to draw the Decepticons' fire. Iron Man Flew overhead Firing his repulsor beams and aiming at the Decepticons weaponry.

Hawkeye performed another strafing run when things started to go wrong. "We got a problem here," Hawkeye said over the comms, "Nothing's responding."Optimus looked up to see the quinjet seemingly turn around and begin heading for blackout. Before anyone could tell Hawkeye to eject, The qunjet's back doors opened and Hawkeye jumped out already firing his arrows at the Decepticons.

"Optimus, i'm Picking up another Energon signal, What's going on there," Ratchet Reported over the comm's.

Optimus barely Heard it as he was watching The Avengers quinjet's Avengers symbols Transform into shining red Autobot insignia. Then The engine and the cockpit was pushed out as the quinjet began to transform. Before long a new Autobot had joined the fight. The autobot finished his transformation mid-air and Performed a dropkick on Blackout But before the former Avengers quinjet Could do anything more A vehicon Kicked him away from blackout And into Optimus.

He Wasn't too tall, maybe bumblebee's height, with his wings coming out straight from his back and to the side, forming a (barely) bendable curve. They formed into his back, similar to birds-the way the lower base curves out and back in at the top- but they weren't very long. They were neither thick or thin. They were Quinjet wings, and from the front you Could see the propellers of the engines, located in the middle of each wing. But from the back, if you were to look at his wings you would see the autobot insignia on the half-cover plate of each propeller. He was a cool gray, with navy blue accents and details. His lower legs, hands and interestingly shaped helmet are navy, while the main of his body is the cool gray color. The cockpit of the Quinjet sits on his chest, as most of arial cybertronians do, with the windshields being a bold, strong yellow, with an almost orange tint. Another autobot insignia sits at the top of the main windshield on his chest, and his Optics glow blue.

The sudden Transformation Of The Avengers quinjet Had caused a momentary Ceasefire Allowing both sides to regroup on opposite sides of the forest. Blackout kept his Optics on the new Autobot, In all his years of science in all those experiments He would have never thought That upon Being exposed to Energon in Inanimate objects could become cybertronian. Either way He had to inform Megatron and Shockwave.

Both the autobots and the Avengers were extremely confused about the fact that the Avengers quinjet had just transformed into a new Autobot And he was ready to fight. But introductions Could Happen later They still had a battle to fight and win.

The Vehicons charged forward While blackout transformed and Flew off into the distance. When the new Autobot saw this He shouted towards the blackout, "Hey . Where you going, You're going to miss all the fun," Before transforming and flying off After blackout. Leaving the rest of the Autobots and Avengers to deal with the vehicons.

The Autobot got behind blackout and let loose with his minigun. Blackout did his best to evade The Barrage but his Blades were clipped several times To the point where one flew off. Blackout began to spiral downwards in an uncontrollable fall. Blackout transformed In a desperate attempt To at least slow down his fall. The Autobot circled around and went into a Deep dive Chasing Blackout to the ground all while firing his minigun.

As Blackout Neared the ground The Autobot Barely pulled out of the dive As blackout Hit the ground hard Causing an explosion. The Autobot circled around and headed back for the rest.

Optimus ran the last vehicon through With the star saber Before removing the blade from the vehicons chest And placing the star saber right back on his back. And that's when the new Autobot returned.

Everyone looked over at The Avengers quinjet Which transformed mid air And landed on his feet. Before the Autobot could say anything, Optimus asked, "And what might be your name."

The Autobot Straightened and said, "The names Updraft,"

"How long,"Optimus simply asked. Updraft understood what he was talking About.

Updraft Rubbed the back of his head As he said, "I don't exactly know the last thing I remember Is flying around the battlefield."

Optimus nodded in understanding Before saying "Updraft we have much to discuss." Optimus explained the war between the autobots and the Decepticons he left out exactly how it started, he Didn't know why he left that part out but he did.

Tony walked over to one of the vehicons Corpses And he noticed that it was leaking Energon He used his suit to scan a small droplet of Energon And found out A single milligram of Energon could generate More than enough To power 7 Iron Man armors. Tony touched a small piece of Energon with his suit And the power levels jumped from 37% To 700%. A large vial ejected from the side of his suit And Tony scooped some Energon Into the vial before placing said vial back into the suit.

After Optimus finished explaining, updraft sat down and thought. After A moment Updraft Stood up and said, "I'm ready to do my part." And after that a ground Bridge opened up And all the autobots including updraft walked through.

It took the Avengers a little bit but they realized that it was going to be a very very long trip back to base. And with the other word Quicksilver Sighed and began running the Avengers back and forth to base.
