Chapter 22
Shockwave
Jazz was thrown into the door but before he could do anything else Shockwave grabbed him by the arm and slammed him into the floor Before throwing him to the other side of his lab. Jazz struggled to his feet as he looked at Shockwave who slowly walked towards him.
As Shockwave lurked towards Jazz, the light of the lab shone menacingly, showing all his terrifying features. The Decepticon was twice as big as Jazz, His legs were long and torso short, with a wide, strong chest build However he only had one arm, The other was lost in a scientific experiment and Shockwave had replaced it with a blaster, one of the most powerful blasters out there. He was all purple, with only a few parts of being gray. He was covered in sharp parts; his feet, knees, hand, blaster base and barrel, the shoulder of the arm wielding the blaster, his head and neck- the cord that runs from his head to the blaster Powering it. Shockwave all together was a spine-chilling bot, from his looks to his creations and ideas. The one thing that stuck him out from everything and everybody was his one eye, that glowed red like the other Deceptions.
Shockwave Walked him Raising his gun arm Preparing to fire when a ground Bridge opened up directly in front of Jazz, shocking Shockwave, And then the unmistakable sound of Optimus Prime's horn below the through with the ground bridge as Optimus Prime rammed into Shockwave, towing both Avengers suits right behind him. Shockwave was knocked back a little bit but before he could recover Optimus drifted to the side, slamming Tony's suit Shockwave sending him flying back and into the door control panel, destroying it, sealing the doors shut.
Optimus came to a complete stop next to Jazz before transforming, pulling out his ion blaster and blasting a hole in the ceiling and almost immediately, both Tony and Steve flew down through the hole and into their suits the team stood shoulder to shoulder.
As shock waves got to his feet he spoke without any emotion in his voice, "It was only logical you would come and attempt to stop me, however I made preparations," as he said that he pressed a button on his arm. All of a sudden four pods opened up to reveal what looked to be Bumblebee, And two other vehicons, And blackout. All of them walked out and stood in front of Shockwave. Optimus had to keep on telling himself but this was not Bumblebee at least not his Bumblebee.
"Destroy them," Shockwave Shouted. And all four of Shockwaves experiments ran forward.
Optimus Tried shooting blackout with his ion Blaster several times But Blackout expertly dodged and tackled Optimus to the ground Knocking his Blaster out of his hands but Optimus managed to punch him off. Optimus rolled to his feet and Dodged A left hook from Blackout before grabbing Blackout's head and flipping him over his head and into the ground. Before Optimus could do anything else Blackout punched him off him.
Blackout Got to his feet as his rotors on his arm started spinning and he swung at Prime, But Optimus managed to catch it, Pulled out the Star Saber, and cut Blackout's arm off. Instead of screaming in pain Blackout just grunted And retaliated with another punch to Optimus's back, and then a kick to the back of the leg Bringing Optimus to his knees.
Blackout tried to Punch Optimus in the back of the head But Optimus managed to Duck under The attack And elbowed Blackout in the gut Before hitting him in the face with his own arm Stunning blackout Just long enough For Optimus to get the upper hand, And turned his hands into hooks. Blackout Made an attempt at grabbing Optimus again, But Optimus had had enough. He dodged to the side, jumped up and buried one of his hooks deep into blackout's face. And then he pulled down hard, tearing Blackout's head off.
Steve and Tony Worked in complete unison as Steve vaulted over one of the charging vehicons and kicked him in the back Sending him flying towards Tony Who charged up his Repulsor And blasted him Right in the head. After being shot in the head the vehicon managed to kick Tony in the back Knocking him off guard and before Tony could react The vehicon Pounced on him Pinning him down. But before either of them could do anything Steve Body slammed into the vehicon, managed to get on top of it, Steve was about to bring his shield down, When the other vehicon Ran up behind Steve Ran up And grabbed Steve forcing him to drop the shield.
The other vehicon got to its feet And was about to punch Steve, When Tony ran in And delivered A punch so hard Sparks flew everywhere, And his suit groaned,To the vehicon causing him to go flying back. Steve managed to grab the vehicon that was holding him And throw him Into the other vehicon. Tony handed Steve back his shield As they both readied themselves.
Both vehicons charged the two Avengers Who did the same, Steve threw his shield at one He then caught it when it bounced back. He then delivered two Ferocious punches to the gut then a singular kick to the chest Knocking him back. Tony right before he and his vehicon Collided, flew directly over the vehicon And landed directly behind him And blasted the back of one of his knees and when the vehicon fell to the ground Tony picked The vehicon up and Tossed him into Steve's vehicon. Tony flew up and fired a missile which destroyed the two vehicons.
Jazz Blocked a punch from Bumblebee Leaving Bumblebee open but Jazz didn't take the advantage Which led to him getting kicked dead center in the chest Knocking him back. Jazz Mentally scolded himself this wasn't Bumblebee this was some kind of sick experiment made by Shockwave. Jazz Remembered the last time he had been in this Kind of situation, someone he trusted Very much, betrayed the Autobots, And the resulting fight caused Jazz To recklessly order a full blown assault, losing most of the army.
But that didn't matter right now. He had to defeat Shockwave's experiment. Jazz was so lost in thought That he lowered his Guard allowing the Bumblebee clone to punch Jazz in the face, Knocking Jazz back again. This time when the Bumblebee clone went in for another attack Jazz side stepped out of the way and delivered A kick to the Bumblebee clones back, Jazz Then followed it up with A punch to the chest. but the Bumblebee clone retaliated by Turning its hand into a blade and swinging at Jazz Cutting him across the gut and causing him to leak Energon.
Jazz stumbled back looking at The Energon that was leaking out of him. The Bumblebee clone slashed at him again Cutting His chest. The Bumblebee clone Went in for a third time but this time Jazz caught the blade And delivered a vicious headbutt to the Clone. Before snapping the blade off and kicking the Clone away. Just tossed the Broken Blade away and pulled out his blaster as he slowly walked over to the Bumblebee clone. Jazz placed his finger on the trigger ready to fire cuz he looked into the face of Bumblebee. He knew that he had to do this but he just couldn't.
Seeing this hesitation the Bumblebee clone made a desperate grab For Jazz's blaster as a result On instinct Jazz fired, When Jazz looked back, the clone of Bumblebee was laying on the ground, a hole directly through His head. Jazz reminded himself that this was not Bumblebee, only a clone.
Both Autobots and Avengers all turned around to face Shockwave who was standing in the back the entire time examining the fight. "It's over Shockwave, Come quietly," Optimus Growled. Without saying it the second option was clear death.
"Surrendering would be illogical, seeing as you are currently trapped inside one of the most protected Decepticon fortresses on Cybertron. Your Surrender would be the most logical way to end this, Optimus Prime," It was clear that neither of them were going to surrender. Now they just had to see who would make the first move.
Shockwave quickly Charged up his Cannon and fired at the small Squad, Tony flew directly up dodging the blast before returning fire with his unibeam, Shockwave quickly Rolled to dodge and charged up His arm Cannon Before firing it at Tony who Barely dodged but the shot Nicked him in the thrusters, Disabling them both As Tony plummeted Steve jumped up and Managed to catch Tony on the way down.
Jazz jumped at Shockwave who just grabbed him by the head, And held him up. Optimus ran at Shockwave who charged up his blaster And fired at Optimus several times, hitting him once, but that didn't slow the Leader of the Autobots down As he continued to charge a Shockwave. Optimus jumped up, pulled out the star saber As he brought the Relic down on Shockwave, But Shockwave simply hit Optimus with Jazz Knocking Optimus away. Shockwave Lifted Jazz up and put his blaster to Jazz's chest and began to charge it.
However Before Shockwave Could fire Steve threw his shield Bouncing it off Shockwave, He then caught it And brought the shield down on shockwaves Arm attempting to free Jazz. However Instead of Severing the arm like Steve had originally intended, Shockwave Tossed Jazz Away, hitting Steve as well, sending them both flying back.
Tony got to his feet and began firing his Repulsors at Shockwave Shockwave barely flinched as he walked towards Tony. Unbeknownst to Shockwave, Optimus was running at him from behind with the star saber in hand. Shockwave charged up a blast And fired, tearing off one of Tony's arms, Tony ignored it and kept firing. It was a suit after all and it could be replaced And repaired.
As Shockwave continued to approach Tony Optimus let out a yell and used the star saber Cut right through Shock waves power supply Cable shutting down shockwaves Blaster. Shockwave spun around In Surprise Only to be met with Optimus's fist Sending him flying back Towards, Tony Managed to dodge and fired a Repulsor blast Expertly aimed, Hitting Shockwave directly in The optic, Blinding him, As shockwave continued to fly back and hit An unopened pod. Steve Grabbed shockwaves arm and flipped him to the ground Before pulling out his shield And slamming it down on shockwaves arm severing it. Jazz Jumped on to Shockwave's back, pulled out his blaster, Before shooting Shockwave several times in the back of the head Killing him.
Almost as soon as this happened, a Loud noise was heard, everyone looked Towards the door and saw the Decepticons must have heard the commotion and were cutting through. "Bumblebee do you read," Jazz said over the comms, But got no response, "Bumblebee, come in," Again no response. The Decepticons will almost completely through the door, Everyone grabbed their weapons ready for a fight, " Bumblebee, we need an Evac now,"
This time instead of getting a response the space Bridge opened up Right behind them as Bumblebee Jumped out And said "Well what are you waiting for come on," Just as Bumblebee finished saying that The Decepticons broke the door down and ran in, firing.
"Autobots roll out," Optimus said as he sheathed The star saber grabbed his iron blaster and hopped in the space Bridge, With the others following close behind. Once everyone was out And back on Earth Optimus shouted "Destroy the space Bridge," Instantly everyone there turned their weapons on the space Bridge Destroying it.
Ratchet Help me helped Optimus up as Optimus asked, "How long were we gone,"
"23 Hours sir, we were beginning to think that you were dead," Ratchet reported.
Optimus nodded and understood as he looked around and saw piles of vehicon bodies everywhere, Pools of Energon, weapons scattered across the battlefield. It was Obvious that the Decepticons had launched multiple attacks.
Well everyone was conversing on Earth back on Cybertron, One of Shockwaves computers activated, Its really glowing display showed Three words, Project Nemesis online.The 5th and Final testing pod opened to reveal Shockwaves prime experiment.
