Epilogue:
On a bright and sunny day, a crow calmly flies down and lands safely on top of a canyon wall. It then pecks down at a worm sticking out of a hole in the ground, finally it swallows it. But when it's just about to fly off again, a loud explosion goes off in the distance startling the crow. After the crow flies away, red lasers start shooting around next to the explosion.
Over where the explosion was, a bunch of vehicon troopers are shooting their blasters towards the autobots that were attacking. Basically they were battling in the same place where Wheeljack fought Hardshell, and the vehicons were trying to prevent the autobots from beating them to a supply of energon that was inside the cave in the back wall.
Those said autobots were Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Arcee, Bulkhead, and Ratchet, and they were not gonna let the vehicons stop them.
Optimus Prime: "Autobots, do whatever you can to get inside that cavern!"
Optimus shot his plasma cannon towards a couple vehicons, but then 3 more came running out from inside the cave.
Bulkhead: "Man, these guys just keep coming!"
Ratchet: "Use your head Bulkhead, we always find a solution in every task!"
Bumblebee used his left arm to shoot his arm blaster, but he used the other arm to hold up his holographic shield. When he got close enough to a vehicon, he put down his arm blaster and threw a punch at him knocking him down. After that, he transformed into his form of a black muscle car with yellow stripes and charged at another vehicon. He rammed at the vehicon, then he floored it hard enough to drive right over him. When the vehicon started getting up, he had tire marks going all the way up the front of his body.
Vehicon: "Lord Megatron, we may need backup."
Meanwhile, Arcee was karate kicking another vehicon while also scraping it with her arm blades. After that, she pulled a roundhouse kick at another vehicon. Examining the 2 busted vehicons, she felt rather satisfied by her work.
Arcee: "You messed with the wrong bot boys."
Meanwhile, Bulkhead was smashing his wrecking ball against a couple more vehicons. Decepticon bits went everywhere, Bulkhead was having the time of his life.
Bulkhead: "That's how you do it, wrecker style!"
Ratchet was having a little trouble fighting off his vehicon at first, but he soon pushed him away and brought out his swords. He sliced off the vehicon's left arm, then he pulled a back kick at him with his right leg. After the vehicon fell down, Ratchet felt proud of his work.
Ratchet:(wipes his mouth) "A doctors gotta do what a doctors gotta do."
Once all 5 of the autobots recovered, they inspected the area and could see that all of the vehicons had been defeated.
Optimus Prime: "Great job autobots, now let's secure the energon."
Bulkhead: "Excellent, just as long as there are no more unexpected surprises today."
But right after he said that, the autobots flinched when they heard a really loud sonic boom coming from above. The moment they looked up, they spotted a grey jet zoom by and flew upwards above the back canyon wall where the cave entrance was. The jet suddenly transformed into a robot in mid air, and it landed firmly on the ground in front of the canyon wall. This robot was big and silver, and he had 3 large and thick spikes on each of his shoulders. He had small shark teeth, and he had a big purple cannon attached to his right arm. Once Optimus Prime got a good look at him, there was only 1 person it could possibly be.
Optimus Prime: "Megatron."
Indeed, Megatron: leader of the decepticons. He eyed each of the autobots, and he pulled an evil cunning smile.
Megatron: "Greetings Optimus, I see you've once again discovered 1 of my beloved energon mines."
Optimus Prime: "That is correct, and you will not stop us from securing the energon."
Megatron: "I beg to differ."
Suddenly out of nowhere, a groundbridge appeared over at Megatron's left side. Out of that said groundbridge, Starscream and Knockout came in their vehicle modes. Starscream transformed from his jet mode, and Knockout transformed from his race car mode. Another groundbridge opened on Megatron's right side, and Shockwave came slowly walking out. The other autobots grew rather concerned, their battle just got a little bit trickier.
Starscream: "Salutations autobots, ready to get scrapped and grinded!?"
Knockout: "I totally agree, I am better at destroying things than repairing them."
Shockwave: "Indeed, our victory may be logical."
The autobots braced for battle, but they weren't entirely sure what was coming. Optimus Prime was feeling the most confident, and he started balling his fists in preparation. Megatron eyed his alleys on each of his sides, and he signaled for the next wave of the battle to begin.
Megatron: "Decepticons, attack!"
With that said, the deceptions charged towards the autobots who quickly chose each of their opponents.
Bulkhead and Ratchet vs Shockwave
Bumblebee vs Knockout
Arcee vs Starscream
Optimus Prime vs Megatron
Bulkhead tried smashing his wrecking ball against Shockwave, but he blocked the wrecking ball with his right hand once it got close enough. Bulkhead grew a nervous look, then Shockwave tossed Bulkhead away with his wrecking ball still in his clutch.
But when Shockwave wasn't looking, Ratchet jumped onto his back and tried stabbing the back of his head with his sword. But Shockwave grabbed him by the face, then he smashed him on the ground in front of him. When Ratchet got back up, he slashed Shockwave's front a couple times with both of his swords.
Bumblebee and Knockout were in the middle of a rockem-sockem stance, then Knockout managed to pull a karate kick at Bumblebee.
Bumblebee: "Cheap shot Knockout, can't you for once go easy on anyone!?"
Knockout: "I may be better at destroying things than repairing them,(pulls out his chainsaw) but I'm still the one who has to clean up this mess."
When Knockout tried swinging his chainsaw at Bumblebee, he missed each time. But then out of nowhere, Bumblebee punched his chainsaw so hard that the circular spiky blade flew right off of it.
Knockout: "Hey!"
Next Bumblebee threw a couple more punches at Knockout, then he pulled a kick at him while doing a backflip. Knockout flailed back a little, then he wiped his face from the punches.
Knockout: "You scratched my paint, that was a big mistake!"
Next, he pulled out and spun his electric staff. Bumblebee grew nervous again, but he soon got ready to fight again.
Over with Arcee and Starscream, Starscream was having the time of his life. He slashed his claws towards Arcee, but she kept blocking them with her arm blades. But still, he was just having quite a bit of fun.
Starscream: "Give it up Arcee, I haven't had this much fun since I punched that hole in Cliffjumper."
Arcee: "Keep talking Starscream."
With that, she slashed 1 of her blades at Starscream.
Over with Optimus Prime and Megatron, their battle was becoming the most superior. Optimus tried throwing a punch at Megatron, but he blocked it with the flat side of his sword. After shoving his fist away, he threw a much stronger punch at Optimus Prime's face. When Optimus fell back far enough, Megatron readied his big purple cannon and fired a few light purple blasts of fusion. Fortunately for Optimus, he was able to dodge every single blast.
Megatron: "Give it up Optimus, you have no chance!"
Optimus Prime: "Not while I still function Megatron, we will secure that energon no matter the cost!"
Megatron just snarled, then he and Optimus charged at each other while throwing a punch at the exact same time.
Meanwhile, Shockwave was blocking each of Ratchet's sword attacks. Eventually, he found the moment to point his fusion cannon and blast Ratchet away.
Bulkhead: "Ratchet!"
Feeling angered by Shockwave's move, Bulkhead charged at him with his wrecking ball already prepared. But suddenly, Shockwave lifted him up over his head (to Bulkhead's absolute shock) and tossed him over towards where Ratchet was laying.
Starscream had Arcee's arms in a really firm grasp, but Arcee wouldn't give up. Suddenly, he tightly grabbed her by the neck and threw her over to where Bumblebee and Knockout were fighting. Bumblebee kicked Knockout away, but he was alarmed when he saw Arcee flying towards him.
Bumblebee: "Wha-Arcee!?"
Next, Arcee smashed right into Bumblebee causing both of them to tumble over by Bulkhead and Ratchet. Megatron had seen everything while still fighting Optimus, and he was rather impressed by the work of his minions. After that, he pulled an evil smile towards Optimus Prime.
Megatron: "Admit defeat Optimus, the decepticons have won!"
With that, Megatron charged at Optimus and gave the biggest punch he could muster. Optimus took the hit, and he tumbled amongst the other 4 autobots. When the autobots looked up at the deceptions, Megatron, Starscream, Knockout, and Shockwave were all slowly walking towards them feeling delighted that they had the advantage on them.
Megatron: "Come decepticons, we've waited a long time for this…...let us get close enough to enjoy it."
With that, the decepticons continued to slowly walk up to the autobots who were already feeling defeated.
Arcee: "A-At least we go down with full honor."
Ratchet: "With you to the very end."
At that moment, Megatron started pointing his big cannon at Optimus as it started charging up. During that, he started smiling bigger.
Megatron: "Prepare to join the allspark."
But before Megatron could take even 1 blast, 2 missiles came out of nowhere and shot to the ground near the decepticons. The impact was so intense, Megatron, Starscream, Knockout, and Shockwave were sent tumbling back over by the canyon wall. Megatron shook his head in recovery, then he looked up into the sky in surprise. The autobots looked up behind them too, and they were shockingly delighted.
There in the sky was Wheeljack in his ship, he had come as reinforcements for the autobots.
Bulkhead: "Jacky!"
Optimus Prime: "Excellent timing Wheeljack."
Wheeljack: "What can I say, wreckers always find the right timing."
After that, Wheeljack shot a few light blue lasers at the decepticons who had a bit of a hard time dodging them.
Knockout: "No fair, that's cheating!"
Megatron: "We require an Immediate groundbridge!"
Once a groundbridge opened somewhere behind the decepticons, they quickly ran inside it knowing that the autobots now had the upper hand. As the autobots got back on their feet, Wheeljack landed his ship nearby and joined his comrade.
Bulkhead: "Ha-ha, way to go Jacky!"
Wheeljack: "Anything to keep us wreckers together."
Ratchet: "Yes yes, you guys are lovable with each other."
After hearing that, Bulkhead and Wheeljack just shuddered in disgust.
Bumblebee: "Please can we secure that energon now?"
Optimus Prime: "Indeed Bumblebee, we shall."
With that, the autobots finally started making their way into the cavern to secure the energon. To make it even better, they now had a special way of transporting it thanks to Wheeljack.
Meanwhile on the decepticons warship, Megatron and his gang were entering the main control room of the warship. Megatron silently walked up to the main control panel at the end of the front platform, his gang had no idea how he was feeling. Finally, Starscream stepped up behind him to check on him.
Starscream: "Uhh lord Megatron, y-you alright?"
Megatron: "Yes Starscream, I'm actually better than alright?"
Knockout: "But master, we didn't win that battle earlier."
Megatron: "Correct. But when the rest of you showed up and took them down, it actually gave me an idea."
After hearing that last bit, Starscream, Knockout, Shockwave, and all the vehicons currently present shared confused glances with each other.
Starscream: "R-Really?"
Megatron: "Yes, maybe there is strength in numbers."
After that, Megatron started quietly laughing all evil-like before it started to grow louder. Soon after, the rest of the decepticons decided to join in. But as it starts closing out from the outside of the warship, Megatron ends up cutting their laughter short.
Megatron: "Silence, only I get to laugh."
And with that, Megatron continued evilly laughing like crazy.
To be continued.
