Chapter 30
Warship
The Autobots stayed with Updraft while Shuri guided The Avengers to their New suits. They walked into a large room and on either side there were four suits Modeled after each Avenger.
Shuri Guided them in front of Clint's suit. It looked mostly like his regular suit but with A few notable changes. And it's back there were three Separate Quivers and on his bow was like some kind of projector. Shuri Started to explain, "Your bow generates hard light arrows So running out of arrows won't be a problem anymore. Your trick arrows are stored in the Quivers on your background and if you ever run out of trick arrows Ingest stuff A long piece of any material into the Quivers and they will automatically turn it into a new trick Arrow. Along with all that there is a hard light projector and your right hand that can create a Knife out of hard light for Close Quarters combat." Shuri Finished and Clint was already so much more excited to give it a try.
Shuri Walked over to Natasha's suit that again looked very similar to Pursuit already but with a one notable change Her electric batons Appeared to be different sizes. Just like with Clint's suit Shuri began to explain its abilities. " you can attach your electric batons to each other to create a staff, that's why they're different lengths" Natasha nodded and they moved on to the next.
Shuri Approached Steve's suit It again looked almost the exact same as his actual suit but His shield appeared to be bigger and thicker than its counterpart.The forearm of the Right arm appeared to be larger than the right. No Avenger questioned it because at this point they knew that Shuri Would explain And she did. " Your Shield can and now generate a one way wall in order to provide cover for everyone else on your team and allow them to fire without exiting cover. On your Right arm is a gauntlet that can deploy an arm mounted blade if needed." Steve thanked Shuri in response.
And then finally Shuri approached Tony's suit that Tony 'helped' design. It looked exactly the same as Tony's current armor. Tony didn't need much of an explanation to Tony but the others needed one so she started With the explanation. "It is Made completely out of Nanomachines Allowing Tony to make whatever he wants whenever needed." Shuri Looked extremely bored while she said this.
Back in the lobby The Autobots remained with updraft while ratchet did his best to keep him alive when a massive explosion Rocked the Palace and then it was announced that the shield protecting wakanda had fallen. The Decepticon worship was now firing down upon Wakanda; they no longer had any time to lose. Autobots and Avengers (who were now fully suited up in their new suits) looked up upon the Decepticon warship.
"We need to get up there. Now!" Optimus said.
" We know. But how? No one is back at base to activate a ground Bridge." Natasha Pointed out. As soon as she said that 7 wakandan Aircraft floated up and hovered in front of them. It was pretty obvious What they wanted
"Well there's the answer to your question." Clint quipped As he jumped onto his aircraft.
"Oh shut up Barton." Natasha retorted, As she grabbed onto her aircraft sides, causing Clint to chuckle to himself.
"This doesn't seem like such a good idea." bumblebee said as he carefully got onto his aircraft and proceeded to hold on to it for dear life.
"Who cares! it's going to be a lot of fun." Jazz said as he shot his grapple into His aircraft anchoring him to it.
"Hate to break it to your jazz but I'm kind of with bumblebee here." Steve said as he used his new arm mounted blade into his aircraft anchoring him to it.
"Come on Steve, it's not that bad." Tony said as he floated beside Steve's aircraft.
"Easy for you to say you're the one that can fly." Arcee Shot back as she got on to her aircraft and held onto its sides.
That caused Tony to laugh a bit before saying "True true." before he continued to laugh.
Optimus walked onto his aircraft causing it to sink under his weight a little. He slammed the cosmic shield down causing it to pierce into the ship's Hull, Using the shield to Anchor him to his ship.
Ironhide Stepped onto his aircraft And slammed his hand down into the aircrafts hull and grabbed onto some wires using them to hold him in place.
The aircraft plus Tony began to ascend towards the Decepticon warship. As they flew unnoticed towards the Decepticon warship, Tony said "Looks like we'll have the element of surprise!"
Almost immediately the Decepticon worship stopped firing on wakanda and turned its guns towards the Autobots and the Avengers. Optimus yelled out "Evasive maneuvers! NOW!" And the aircrafts Pilots responded Immediately Performing crazy maneuvers evading the flak.
"You were saying Tony?" Natasha said as she still clung desperately to her aircraft.
"All right so I may have jinxed us." Tony said as he did his best to evade the Decepticon flak.
Up ahead Steve saw Seekers jumping off the Decepticon warship and flying straight towards them. "Tony we got seekers inbound!"
Only looked up to see that Steve was indeed correct, "I got 'em." Tony said as he rocketed forward to meet the enemy Seekers.
Tony flew forward and blasted down one Seeker before he flipped on top of one and ripped out its circuits. On a highway no Tony's spun around and took several shots to the chest enough that if he was in his old armor it would have been destroyed instead there was barely a scratch. Examining where he was shot he looked up at the Seeker and plainly said, "All right fine my turn." He returned fire with his unibeam.Turning the Seeker into Ash. Behind him His comrades flew right by B-lined for the Decepticon warship.
Once the autobots and Avengers reached the Decepticon warship everyone in sync jumped off their airship and landed on the main deck of the Decepticon warship and Were met by countless Vehicons. IronhideDidn't waste any time because as soon as he hit the deck he pulled out his minigun and began firing. Mowing down the unfortunate vehicons that had been in front. Before the Decepticons could even think of returning fire Steve ran forward and created a massive Shield wall for the first incoming value of fire and allowing the Autobots to Return fire. More and more vehicons started pouring out Of the warship and started pouring more fire into Steve's Shield wall grinding their advance to a halt.
"Clint, Distract them." Steve shouted, still the wall up.
"You got it, cap!" Clint shouted as he Grabbed a trick Arrow out of one of his Quivers And shot it into the air. The arrow exploded into hundreds of things that also created their own little explosion completely distracting the vehicons.
"Now!" Optimus shouted. Steve deactivated his shield wall and the Autobots ran forward towards the very distracted Decepticons.
Ironhide placed his minigun on his back and pulled out his shotgun as he ran towards the Decepticon lines. He fired once at a vehicon's head before racking hIs shotgun again Ramming his shoulder into a vehicon and shooting The vehicon in the stomach destroying the vehicon before flipping his shotgun around and using it as a bat to knock another away.
Steve activated his new arm blade and sliced through one vehicon before using his shield to knock one's Blaster out of the vehicon's hand before stabbing the vehicon in the head. He stabbed a vehicon through the chest Picking the vehicon up and throwing The vehicon back to the ground.
Jazz Slid under a vehicon and shot the vehicon in the back of the head He then rolled to the side dodging several incoming shots while returning fire Downing several more vehicons. He kicked the legs out from one vehicle before shooting said Vehicon in the head as it fell.
Clint shot one vehicon. he then pulled a trick Arrow out of one of his Quivers and stabbed it into the head of a vehicon that was behind him Before pulling said Arrow out and firing it at another vehicon. The arrow made contact and it began to expand, creating a foam around the vehicon before it exploded sending pieces of that foam Everywhere until those pieces exploded.
Bumblebee Delivered two Quick punches to a vehicon's face before he kicked another vehicle that was behind him. He grabbed a vehicle's arm that still held on to their blaster that vehicle to shoot several more before wrestling the Blaster from the vehicon and turning it on its user blowing up their head.
Natasha combined her Electric batons to create a staff.It generated a small explosion knocking nearby vehicons down. With one swipe all the vehicles that got knocked down or then hit with electricity overloading their systems and shutting them down permanently. One vehicon turned his hand into a blade and attempted to strike at Natasha who quickly blocked it and used her stuff to swipe the legs out from under the vehicle before slamming her staff down on top of the vehicon destroying them.
Optimus Blocked several shots with the Cosmic Shield Sliced Straight through one vehicon before spinning around and slicing through two more. One turned their hand into a blade and attempted to strike downwards on Optimus who blocked it with the cosmic Shield and then stabbed the Star saber into their chest before using the vehicle's body to block several more shots Before throwing the body into a group of vehicons.
Tony shot down a seeker that was Chasing one of the wakandan aircrafts that brought the Autobots up to the Decepticon warship. He then flew right back up to the Decepticon warship. Several His nana machines formed extra guns on the suit as he fired his unibeam cutting a large swath of vehicons down. He then Dove straight into the vehicon army and used his Nano machines to form blades on his arms,He spread his arms out and he cut through several Vehicons.
Arcee Stuck behind the rest and used her sniper rifle to pick off targets. She shot at an Energon clip as a Decepticon reloaded causing an explosion. In the corner of her eye she spotted singular Seeker a member of starscream's Armada, she quickly turned her sniper on the seeker and began tracking it With a single shot she tore off The Seekers Wings causing them to spiral into the vehicon army destroying several.
As he fought Optimus received a message from Ratchet,"Optimus the internal bleeding has opened up, he has 10 hours." Upon hearing that Optimus channeled all of his energy into the star saber Auntie Swang creating a massive Arc of energy that destroyed all of the vehicons. But that nearly broke the star saber; it would need time to repair itself until then the star saber was completely unusable.
Optimus fell to his knees as the others gathered around him. Ironhide began to help him up But Optimus waved him off Saying "I'm fine, just need some time. But I got bad news from ratchet," That caught everyone's attention and they all began listening intently and what it could be. Optimus forced himself to his feet as he spoke "Our timetable has been shortened, we have 10 hours." This of course almost sent everyone into a small panic but they managed to keep it together. " Autobots get to the bridge and secure it and prepare the place to self-destruct, Avengers get to The storage room that is where they will be holding the vibranium. I will remain here in order to protect the transports."
Everyone quickly divided into groups. Friday led the Avengers to the storage room and the Autobots advanced to the bridge. Though the hallway was as clean as a Decepticon warship usually should be but still There was something off. The warship's cannons continued to fire down Upon wakanda, Shaking the entire thing. The silence was almost deafening. Only broken by the Autobots footsteps Always usually bustling with Decepticons, now completely silent.
Over the calms Tony said "We have found the storage house and are bringing it back to the transports."
Jazz scoffed and replied, "Now how could you find the storage room so quickly we still haven't made our way to the bridge yet And we've been on these things before."
"I just so happened to be an extraordinary Navigator once Friday had located the storage room."Tony said rather, proudly.
"Friday had located the storage room; he blew a hole through the entire ship in order to reach the storage room." Natasha said plainly. Upon hearing this Arcee shook her head, and Jazz Chuckled the tiniest bit.
The autobots resumed their mission and the deafening silence returned. Upon each Intersection they turned there was nothing, almost like the warship had been abandoned for years behind them a Loud slamming noise followed by a loud clicking. All the autobots spun around weapons raised. A door had slammed shut on its own. We are watch turned to each other and all Collectively agreed that something wasn't right here.
The Autobots sighed a sigh of relief when they finally got to the bridge because that would mean there was at least something to take their minds off whatever was going on here. The Autobots took up positions beside the door that led to the bridge they all gave each other a nod signaling they were ready. Ironhide shoulder slammed the door knocking it down with his minigun ready but there was no one on the bridge. A thick layer of dust had covered practically everything implying that no one had been up here in a long time.
"What the? Okay there's seriously something wrong with this place." Bumblebee said, putting his Blaster away.
"You know Bee I'm starting to agree with you. There's something about this place. It's not right." Jazz Said also putting away his Blaster. "I'm going to start rigging this thing to self-destruct, maybe it'll put an end to whatever is going on here."Just said as he walked over to a nearby console and began wiping away all the dust and typing on it.
The other Autobots put away their weapons and began inspecting the bridge. what they fought was the usual Security division of a Decepticon warship; there were supposed to be thousands more members Of crew, so where were they.
Not thinking anything of it, Ironhide turned to Jazz and asked. "How's it going?"
"Not good it's not responding to any-ug!" Jazz said right before the terminal created a mini explosion sending Jazz Right into Ironhide who caught him and placed him on his feet.
Suddenly everything began to shake and throughout the entire ship something could be heard a deep guttural laugh that seemed to come from the ship itself. " Hahaha. You thought you could destroy me so easily? YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD DESTROY TRYPTICON!"
Back on the main deck The Avengers had just finished loading all of the vibranium onto the transports that would also transport them back to the ground. Suddenly the entire warship stopped firing. And started shaking Non-Stop.And the walls of the warships started to fold in on themselves. The Avengers and Optimus started looking around wondering what the hell was going on.
On the other side of the main deck the rest of the Autobots burst down the doors and begin running like Mad Men towards the transports. "Everyone get on the transports! NOW!"Jazz screamed. However he usually sounded was no longer there and was replaced by nothing but complete panic.
The Avengers and Optimus didn't know what was going on but They Trusted Jazz enough that they immediately jumped on their transports. Just as they begin to feel the warship begin to rocket towards the ground.
"What's going on!" Steve asked. As Warship descended it became engulfed in flames as it fell to the Earth.
Arcee who was still trying to process what was going on answered "The ship, the entire thing, it's alive. It calls itself Trypticon." Then as if On Cue a massive Roar came from the fireball.
