Chapter 38
The final piece
The battle was going well. The aliens were trying to retreat and take off in their dropships, But Thor was not going to allow that, He's destroyed two Alien dropships as they flew into the air. However the Decepticons began to push it their attack but there was too few of them to do any real damage and Starscream and Soundwave were unaccounted for, None of them this felt right to Prime. Something was coming and he didn't know what.
The Autobots Rallied around the Avengers as Wanda held Vision who had for some reason left the palace. Vision groaned in pain as the Mind Stone Surged again, He then looked up with Terror in his eyes and said "He's here."Everyone looked forward and saw a portal opening And out walked Thanos.
The Autobots knew they could take him but before they could attack a scream sent everyone flying back, and somehow disabled The Avengers armor. It also resulted in the Autobots being knocked Into the air and them landing far behind the Avengers They all looked for the source of the scream when Starscream landed in between the autobots And the Avengers. Instantly Optimus knew what was happening, Starscream and Soundwave were going to keep them away while Thanos tore his way through the Avengers. In the back of his mind however he noticed something the aliens were retreating but the Decepticons were not.
It didn't matter Either way. That explains what the difference they cannot Thanos collect the Mind Stone. "Step aside Starscream or we will Destroy you." Optimus said, tightening his grip on the star saber.
"Now why would I do that, Megatron Commands it." A Starscream said in response then
Then Soundwave spoke up, "Operation: annihilation." Before anyone could do anything Ravage appeared out of nowhere and jumped at Optimus startling him and knocking him over causing him to drop the star saber and the cosmic Shield As a Ravage began to Claw at his face. Optimus managed to get a hold of Ravage and punch him off back towards Soundwave The Autobots began to rush towards the Decepticons when they were knocked off balance by a high-pitched sound from behind, They looked behind them as they saw Frenzy Using his 'Battle Cry' to Knock them off balance Jazz managed to fire off his grapple and stop Frenzy, With the cable wrapping around Frenzy He quickly got to his feet and Threw Frenzy Into Soundwave And then and there the fight truly began.
Starscream reacted quickly and fired off his null-ray nearly hitting Jazz but Bumblebee managed to grab the cosmic Shield and it the real way to like he had watched Steve do thousands of times, The Shield managed to block the shots and provided it enough of a distraction for Arcee to activate her arm Blades and get in close, She cut one of Starscream's null-ray in half but she didn't manage it to notice the incoming uppercut that sent her Flying into the air directly upwards And grabbed her leg and used her as a weapon to bat away Ironhide Then used her to knock away Bumblebee before he threw her at Jazz who just barely managed to catch her.
Optimus tried to grab the Star Saber but Ravage quickly came out of nowhere and snatched it away Optimus heard Soundwave rushing at him for the right Prime quickly got up and swung at where soundwave's head should be but instead got kicked in the knee by Frenzy bringing him down and frenzy grabbed onto optimus's head and kneed him in the face knocking him on to his back, In the sky he saw Soundwave flying far above him, he transformed and began to plummet towards Optimus ready to crush Optimus completely.
And that's when Frenzy activated his Battle Cry messing with Primes balance and keeping him there. Optimus watched as Soundwave plummeted towards him. Although he would survive the Impact it would put him out of the fight. That's when Ironhide grabbed frenzy shutting down his Battle Cry Allowing to miss two get out of the way as Soundwave crashed into the ground where Optimus was And Optimus used the advantage to punch Soundwave in the face before following it up with A punch to the gut before He lifted Soundwave above his head.
Before he could do anything however Ravage came in holding the Star Saber in his mouth and slashed Optimus across the chest, causing Optimus to drop Soundwave and stumble back holding his chest, the cut wasn't too bad but it was deep enough to cause severe pain. Ravage came back and attempted the to slash at Optimus again but Prime caught the star saber and used his other hand to tear Ravage away.
Optimus held ravage up and used the star saber to stab Ravage through the body instantly killing him, As Soundwave watched in horror, as His Ravage was killed. and full rage and a determination to avenge ravage along with all his other mini-cons that perished in this battle, Soundwave punched Optimus in the gut before landing another punch to his face, Causing Optimus to stumble back, Soundwave didn't let up, He punched Optimus in the chest destroying both of his Windows, Revealing The Matrix of leadership.
Optimus managed to kick Soundwave away. Overcome by rage he went for a top down strike but Optimus blocked it with the star saber. Soundwaves hand continue to fall upon it With it only coming to a stop when The blade was deeply embedded into his hand, Optimus quickly twisted his blade And put it up against Soundwaves gut, He tore it away with Energon exploding out of the wound, he then slashed upwards cutting sound wave again with more Energon pouring out Before he Stabbed down onto Soundwave directly in his Spark.
Optimus pulled the blade back out of Soundwave as he looked over towards the Starscream, who was now wounded. But before they could continue the fight a massive explosion came from where Avenger tried to stop Thanos Optimus looked over and saw Wanda crying and concluded that she must have broken the Mind Stone, costing Vision his life.
And then Thanos walked over and said a few words before he activated a green Stone and time seemed to reverse the explosion accumulated back in to the Mind Stone. Before he plucked it out of his head and put it into the gauntlet.
"No!" Optimus shouted as he ran towards Thanos with the star saber raised above his head. but with a simple wave of his hand Optimus was sent back.
However above them a familiar voice shouted "THANOS!" Optimus looked up and saw Thor hurtling his new weapon at Thanos, Thanos fired a massive energy Beam at the weapon but it didn't work. It been slammed into Thanos's chest and brought him to his knees The Autobots quickly ran forward with Starscream standing there in stunned silence.
They Looked upon the dying Titan as he raised his Gauntlet and said "You Should have gone for the head."
From the darkness a voice spoke, "I agree." As that happened Optimus saw a purple glow from the tree line and instantly understood what was about to happen. He Grabbed Thor and pulled him out of the way as a purple blast ripped through Thanos's head, and the stones floated up from the gauntlet and flew to where the voice came from. A Cybertronian everyone instantly recognized walked into view as the stones of placed themselves Upon his hand.
"I am the dominator, I am the Destroyer, I AM, MEGATRON!"
