Chapter 20

It took the next few days to figure out what those cons were made out of,And especially that pink Energon flowing through their Sparks. And throw those days more and more of these "superpowered Vehicons," As Tony likes to call them. Each encounter Leaves the Autobots weaker and weaker. At one point Updraft got So weak he almost tried Some of that pink Energon, but Ratchet stopped him. But finally after 5 days, They have completed their research on this pink Energon.

Both the Autobots and the Avengers Listened in as Tony and Ratchet explained their findings, "During our research we found Different types of Energon mixed to create this pink variation," Ratchet explained, "But the most prominent ones seemed to be red and synthetic Energon,"All the autobots remembered what happened the first time ratchet took synthetic Energon. It gave them Shivers just thinking about what ratchet had done.

"But different variations of Energon wasn't to all we found a mixed in," Tony butted in, "We also found extremis Mixed in as well," Jazz recalled back to 3 years ago When him Tony and the rest of the Autobots Shut down a terrorist organization working with the Decepticons. The leader of that organization said he was hired by the Decepticons to create an All powerful version of Energon. They thought they had shut that down but it appears they were successful.

Jazz quickly zoned back in As Tony continued to explain, "Giving them heightened reflexes and strength, But also providing them with weakness," Tony used his Cybertronian sized suit To create a hologram of a Vehicon, " You guys are designed to take one maybe two types of Energon At once, But this artificially made pink Variation Contains all The variations of Energon that we know of, putting massive strain on the spark That it was not designed to handle, Plus the unnatural mixing of extremis and Energon has made it extremely Volatile" Tony explained.

"But it's very clear that this Energon is still in its experimental phase, And is being produced and tested by Shockwave who is still on Cybertron" Ratchet Finished.

"How do you know it's being produced on Cybertron and specifically by Shockwave," Arcee questioned Skeptically.

"Shockwave always signs his experiments,As a way to inform his enemies that he is still alive and they could be next," Ratchet said.

"In other words He signs his experiments to stroke his ego," Tony Joked. That of course made Arcee roll her Optics

Optimus nodded and turned to face the Autobots "Then Our objective is clear, We must find a way back to To Cybertron and shut down the production of this energy, And if possible Destroy Shockwave,"Optimus then turned to The Avengers who had been listening silently for a while, "I cannot ask for you to go you must stay here and Defend Earth, till We return,"

Steve looked at the other Avengers then looked back at Optimus and said, "you can count on us to keep the peace,"Optimus nodded As ratchet opened up the ground bridge and all the Avengers ran through.

Ratchet then closed the ground bridge and began Scanning for any sign of a space Bridge. The Autobots knew that it was impossible to get that pink variation of Energon So quickly without a space Bridge. At the same time The Avengers knew that they could not leave the Autobots on their own for this, Especially now that they could fight on even footing. So Tony was also scanning for any Autobot ground Bridges And now that they can make it there in record time.

It wasn't long before the Autobots were successfully able to Locate the ground Bridge. Ratchet Immediately activated the ground Bridge, Everyone rushed through. Back over at The Avengers base Tony immediately detected the ground Bridge And immediately shouted at everybody to suit up.

A ground Bridge opened up in the center of space Bridge control All the vehicons that stood around it Drew their weapons and took aim ready to blast anything That Came to that ground Bridge. The Lieutenant singled a lone vehicon To move forward and investigate it. The vehicon took shaky slow steps till he stood directly in front of the ground Bridge. Every Instinct in the vehicons body told him to run But he continued to move forward.

The other vehicons Watched, shaking in their boots when A red And blue flat nose semi truck, a red minivan, a Yellow Beetle ,A white and blue sports car, An ambulance, And a blue motorcycle, And an Avenger quinjet, Charged out Of the ground Bridge ramming directly over The vehicle that had been investigating, Knocking his Head clean off, "It's the Autobots," One vehicon shouted, who said that it didn't matter ,They are all already dead they only had one choice However, stand and fight till the bitter end, But one refused to accept that fate.

Optimus, the dreaded leader of the Autobots, Swung the star Saber creating a massive energy Arc, This one Vehicon slid directly under it and fired Several shots at Optimus Who blocked it with the cosmic Shield. The vehicon jumped up and Attempted to deliver a desperate punch to Optimus And that's when Jazz, Optimus's Brutal second in command, Fired his grapple and attached it to the side of the vehicon, But he wasn't going Down without a fight.

Jazz delivered a punch to the Vehicon's face but the Vehicon used the momentum to spin around And deliver a roundhouse kick to Jazz's face And that's when he saw Arcee, The autobot sniper who took joy and killing Decepticons, About to Slash one of his fellow vehicons head off, And it desperate attempt to save him he fired his pistol at Arcee And hit her directly in the elbow. This caused Bumblebee To attack in a rage, He Tackled him But the vehicon kicked backwards resulting in him getting on top of Bumblebee. The vehicon delivered two punches to bumblebee's gut when the autobot experimenter ratchet ran in and kicked him off. He got to his feet and looked around And saw the dead bodies of the vehicons that were stationed with him, hIs brothers. He looked in front of him and saw The seven Autobots Standing in front of him. Then part of the roof caved in and The Avengers Descended in giant suits. He knew he couldn't win against the Autobots by himself let alone the giant versions of The Avengers And the Autobots working together. The vehicon took a few steps back before, fully sprinting, transforming and driving away.

Optimus looked over at The Avengers, He had a feeling that they would come here anyway. Although Optimus knew that any sort of human casualty was unacceptable he knew that the Avengers Could handle pretty much anything the Decepticons threw at them. Tony began to try and explain himself but Optimus stopped him. "I had a feeling you could not sit this one out, my only question is. which of you will accompany me to Cybertron," Optimus said. This of course surprised the Avengers as they had planned on going to Cybertron whether Optimus allowed it or not. But none of them were expecting Optimus to Personally invite them along with him.

Steve was the first one to speak up, "Both me and Tony will go. the others Will stay here and guard the Space Bridge from any Decepticon attack," Optimus nodded in understanding.

"Be ready we leave soon," Optimus said before leaving to check on Arcee Who was being tended to by ratchet.

Arcee Winced as Ratchet Gave her medical care, "The less of you move the quicker we can be done with this," Ratchet said quite annoyed.

Optimus kneeled down And put a hand on Arcee's shoulder, "What happened," Optimus asked, with a calm and caring voice.

Arcee breathed shakily And said, "That con tagged me pretty good,"

Optimus looked over at Ratchet and wordlessly asked if she'd be okay. "She'll be fine Optimus, A few more Cycles and she'll be right as rain," Ratchet answered with his usual gruffness.

And that is when Jazz approached optimus, "The space bridge is primed and ready, Prime,"

"Thank you jazz," Optimus said to his second in command before standing up, And announcing, "Autobots, Avengers," And with that everyone rallied around Optimus, "Today is a day like no other. Today we venture back to Cybertron to put an end to shockwaves experiments. Me, Jazz, Tony, and Steve, Adventure into the space Bridge and do this the rest of you stay here defend the space Bridge till we return till we return. If we do not return Within the day, Destroy the space Bridge we cannot allow any more of shockwaves experiments to return to Earth," And then Without a single other word, He, Jazz Tony, and Steve Ran into the space Bridge With its shutting behind them.
