Chapter 19

Decepticons Powered Up

The next day He realized one of Tony's problems had been fixed and another had just Happened,Their last remaining quinjet had literally just grown some legs and walked off But on the upside He had gotten more than enough energy to power his Decepticbusters, a suit meant to even the odds against the Decepticons.

Tony grabbed a ladder and climbed up to the power Core. He looked around the exposed power core where he had tried Countless Arc reactors Of all sizes He opened up the vials containing The Energon he had obtained and Poured a few drops in.Then the entire Suit Started shanking, Causing Tony to fall from his ladder. The rest of the Avengers came rushing in and saw what was going on. Then all of a sudden The shaking stopped And The deceptibusters Eyes glowed blue.

Tony Jumped up And shouted "yes,"

The Avengers looked at The six Cybertronian size suits each built for one of the original six members of The Avengers. "Tony what is this," Steve Questioned, Looking at The suit that was fashioned after him.

A look of confusion crossed Tony's face but then he realized he had gotten so caught up in his work he had forgotten to tell the others. So he began to explain, "Remember yesterday, The most we could do to those cons was Draw their attention. These suits will allow us to do some serious damage."

Natasha was Inspecting her Suit when she asked, "How long did it take for you to Build these Tony,"

"Oh maybe a month After the battle of New York," Tony said nonchalantly. That Caused The Avengers heads To become a swivel as they all turned to look at him.

"So you're telling me You've had these suits FOR THREE YEARS, Without even mentioning them to us," Clint shouted at him.

"In my defense I hadn't been able to find something to power them until now," as Tony said that he held up the vial that Contained Energon.

The other Avengers understood what Tony was implying and went back to examining their new suits.

Meanwhile Back With Updraft he was adopting to his fellow Autobots when another Energon signature was detected All the autobots rest over to the main terminal that controlled most of the base. Ratchet with Manning the terminal per usual of course. "Two Decepticon Energon signatures but somethings not normal," Ratchet reported.

"Ratchet, What's going on," Arcee Questioned.

"They're at the battle site From yesterday. Plus These aren't normal Energon readings, it's not even dark Energon. It's something else entirely," Ratchet said. Closely examining the Energon readings.

And that is when Optimus overheard and walked in, "Bumblebee, take Updraft and investigate, But remain vigilant. These decepticons may have abilities That are unknown to us." Optimus warned as Ratchet opened the ground Bridge.

Bumblebee beeped a few times Before Running to the ground Bridge while gesturing for Updraft to follow him, "You got it bee," Updraft said Before running into the ground Bridge with Bumblebee.

Once Bumblebee and updraft ran through the ground Bridge. Arcee looked at the other Autobots and said "We really have to figure out what he's saying," And the other Autobots mumbled in agreement.

Meanwhile when Bumblebee and updraft Came out of the ground Bridge Into the battlefield. It was still littered with the bodies of the Vehicons The Autobots had fought. Bumblebee drew his blaster, Bumblebee bleeped a few times and Updraft responded with, "Yeah I agree it's too quiet," This of course confused bumblebee, He beeped a few more times And Updraft Said, "Your speaking Morse Code, Tony, when he built me-" As Updraft said that he looked down at his hand. It had only been One day since he had fully transformed And became sentient.The other Autobots had welcomed him as one of their own, yet he didn't feel like it. he wasn't made on Cybertron He was made on Earth And in a way that made Updraft feel unwelcome.

"He must have Installed some kind of software That makes me Immediately translate Morse code," Updraft finished.

"Cool, so now someone can understand me again," Bumblebee stated.

"Yeah but don't expect me to translate for you," Updraft said, making sure Bumblebee didn't get the idea in his head.

After that the Autobots continued on but they began to notice less and less vehicons. Then they heard What sounded like metal scraping Against the forest bottom. They ran to where the sound was coming from And hid behind a couple trees.

Bumblebee Leaned out and saw two vehicons Dragging away the Fallen And tossing them into a ground Bridge. This was normal for the Decepticons of course,They normally collected the Dead and the Autobots let them. But this time something was different Bumblebee couldn't tell exactly what but something was different with the way they were collecting the Dead. And then finally Bumblebee noticed that the Decepticons Optics weren't exactly the usual red They were pink.

As Bumblebee inspected What was going on He was spotted. One Vehicon drew his blaster And fired towards Bumblebee who was barely able to avoid the blast. Bumblebee looked back at where He had been just a moment before And so there was nothing left but a smoking pile of Ash.The two vehicons rushed forward at speeds Bumblebee didn't think was even possible. Before he knew it A vehicon was in front of him And punched him so hard That it sent him flying backwards.

Bumblebee immediately recognized that they weren't going to be able to beat these guys on their own And shouted towards Updraft, "Call for backup, NOW,"

Updraft on the other hand was Busy trying to hit The other vehicon When he looked over to Bumblebee and shouted, "What do you mean we can take these guys," And then almost immediately The other vehicon took advantage of the distraction And delivered a massive punch which sent Updraft flying back, Updraft sat up rubbing the back of his head and said, "Okay maybe we do need backup," Updraft activated his commsYou spoke into it, "Updraft To Base we're getting beaten to hell Out here we need backup," But instead of a response he got static. This led him to one conclusion, "They're jamming our comms," Updraft reported to Bumblebee.

"Damn it," Bumblebee said, "Try the Avengers," Bumblebee ordered, he then realized that the two Vehicons were closing in, "I'll cover you,"Bumblebee said as he Jumped up and ran towards the vehicons.

While Bumblebee was dealing with the souped-up Vehicons Updraft was trying to get a hold of The Avengers "Updraft to Avengers do you read," and much to Updraft's relief Tony Stark responded.

"Hey Updraft, how's life among the Titans,"Tony said in his usual Tony-like fashion.

However, Updraft Had no interest in joking around right now. "Tony we need help, me and Bumblebee are dealing with two souped-up vehicons And we're getting our Tailpipe handed to us."

Without even a moment's hesitation Tony said, "We will be right there just hold on,"Before shutting down the comm Channel.

Meanwhile with Bumblebee he couldn't do a thing against These vehicons It was clear Shockwave had done something to them but he didn't know exactly what. One vehicon lifted him above his head And tossed him to the other vehicon who delivered A kick to the back. Sending bumblebee flying but Updraft managed to catch him.

"I got you," Updraft said.

"Thanks," Bumblebee said, calming himself down, "Did you manage to get through to the Avengers," Bumblebee asked.

"Yeah they said to hold on till they arrive," Updraft said Getting ready to charge the two vehicons.

In the back of Bumblebee's mind he wondered How exactly would the Avengers get here Since they had no quinjet. He also wondered why the Avengers wouldn't just Contact the Autobots so they could ground bridge in and save them. But Bumblebee really didn't care As long as someone was en-route.

Both Bumblebee and Updraft charged the two vehicons. Bumblebee blocked A punch and counter attacked with an uppercut To the gut But it didn't even phase Him. The vehicon Hit bumblebee twice And attempted a third but Bumblebee ducked under it And Slammed his shoulder into the Vehicon's gut. He hoped it would push the con Back a decent way but it only staggered it. Bumblebee kicked A leg out from under him Forcing The Vehicon to His knees. But before Bumblebee could do anything else the Vehicon Delivered a vicious uppercut Sending bumblebee flying back.

Updraft had not fared any better As the vehicon He was fighting grabbed his arm, twisted it around, Before kicking him back In the back. Bumblebee helped Updraft to his feet and said "How we are going to beat these guys,"

Before Updraft had a chance to respond the Earth began to shake, Bumblebee grabbed onto a tree for support and frantically looked around to try and find the source of what was causing this shaking. And then Bumblebee finally looked up, And saw four cybertronians flying overhead in robot mode, But they didn't look like regular cybertronians They looked like the Avengers. More specifically Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye.

The four Suits Landed in front of the two Autobots. As Updraft looked At the one that was most definitely Tony's and Said, "Nice suit,"

Tony looked back at Updraft And said, "Thanks, But first let's see how special these vehicons are With both Autobots and Avengers both the same size now Working together." Updraft smiled slightly and then Him and Bumblebee ran up next to the Avengers.

The vehicons Upon seeing this Began to slowly back away, But the moment they took their first step back The Avengers sprung into action. Steve threw his shield At the vehicons Hitting them both before bouncing back to Steve, Tony took flight and began firing his Repulsors down on the vehicons, One tried to draw his weapon But it was quickly shot out of his hand by Clint. Clint quickly shot two Arrows into the chest. Natasha charged in And stabbed into the con With her electric batons Effectively overloading His circuits And shutting him down, Permanently.

However while the Avengers were taking down that singular con The other one had retreated back into a Decepticon ground Bridge That has just opened up, Carrying The remains of blackout.

But back with The Avengers and the two Autobots They hadn't even noticed the other vehicon escape, They were instead talking about the fact that the Avengers just got these suits out of nowhere. "How long have you had these suits, " Updraft asked, Examining Tony's suit, Which was now deactivated.

"We had them for a while and just hadn't Found a way to power them,"Tony said, he was about to explain the power source when updraft interrupted him.

"Energon," Updraft said plainly.

"Energon,"Tony said immediately after.

On the other hand Bumblebee managed to get a hold of Optimus and convey to him that they had something that required Ratchet's immediate attention, And almost immediately The ground Bridge opened up and out walked ratchet carrying his toolkit.

Bumblebee walked him over to The body of the vehicon they had just slaughtered Which was now leaking Energon except it wasn't blue, it was pink.

Ratchet immediately looked over at Bumblebee and updraft and said, "Carry him into the ground bridge and set him in my lab," Then ratchet looked down at Tony and said, "I'll more than likely need a research Assistant, and no Autobot Comes anywhere close to having the qualifications."

Immediately Both Updraft and Bumblebee Dropped the Vehicon body, Bumblebee spun around in anger and beeped quite fiercely, And Updraft shouted, "What the hell, man," Then when Updraft realized that this did practically nothing So he picked the body back up and said, "Come on bee," Defeated, Bumblebee beep and carried the body into The ground Bridge.

Tony Stark on the other hand crawled back in his suit And said, " why not, I got nothing better to do," Ratchet nodded and they both walked into the ground Bridge.
