Chapter13




It had been quite a couple of hectic days for us, A number of Decepticon attacks had drove us to the brink of Energon depleation. The Decepticon attacks were on the caliber of hit and runs, Most of their missions had been headed by Megatron's new second in command. Shockwave.
The recent series of attacks had happened close to our position and had Prowl worried,
Were they trying to flush us out into the open?.

By the time we would send out a team to draw them away from the attack zone to divert the Decepticons away they would withdraw from their attack, Even the Earth's military was confused by the Decepticon activity as of late.
Central City's Govenor, Shawn Berger a strong supported of the Decepticons activated his own personal military as a show of concern but it was nothing more then a front on his behalf.
It was a shame we couldn't do more to protect the Humans constant attacks, If we did we would expose our selves to the populace and disobey the treaty Optimus Prime swore an oath of honor to...
There must be some way around that treaty! I started thinking as I slapped my left fist into the open palm of my right hand, We did not bring this war here we came to stop the threat that the Decepticons posed by returning here to restart their operations of draining the Earth of it's natural resources, And we were running out of time.

The attacks were effecting us as well, Grimlock as of late had become very vocal about our stance blaming our inaction to take this war to the Decepticons and worry about the consequences later. In a sense he was right, We should be kicking the Decepticon skid plates all the way back to their planet of Charr.
Grimlocks words had started to influence some like Cliffjumper who was all ready displeased with being back on earth, He had been the first to lend support to Grimlock, even Sunstreaker had started to become dissatisfied causing me to worry as well.


The sound of the entrance door sliding open as Windcharger, Jazz, Tracks and Rodimus had returned from their recent sortie, Rodimus grunted in anger.

"As soon as we got their the 'Cons retreated!".
I nodded my head in acceptance of Rodimus's report.
"We need to do something and do it soon!" Windcharger added as he begun to break down his rifle to clean it.

"You know what would happen if we stepped out and brought the battle to the Decepticons" Tracks replied.
"What?. We take it to the Decepticons and we worry about the Humans later?" Windcharger grunted.

He had a point, but it was that thinking that was dividing us.

"We can't afford a two sided war!" Rodimus countered, "We need a conflict with the Humans like we need another of Kup's Petrol Rabbit tales!".

I laughed to myself. Hot Rod had gone from a "Turbo reving young punk" To quote Kup, To a more matured and seasoned warrior who called himself Rodimus. Maybe change was for the best?

"Me Grimlock enjoyed Kup's tales", He boasted as he walked into the room.
"Great" I mumbled
"Kup's tales didn't save him!" Rodimus growled.
Grimlock looked at Rodimus clenching his fist, "Me Grimlock say we should be fighting Decepticons, Not selves!".
"You know thats the first bright thing you've said since we've been here!" Rodimus retorted.
Grimlock roared in frustration and transformed, "Me Grimlock bite your head off!"
Rodimus laughed and placed his foot against Grimlock's Bumper, "With what?, Your a Car now!"
Grimlock transformed back into his bot mode, "Me Grimlock forgot..."
Grimlock turned and walked out of the room talking harshly to himself.
Jazz shook his head in amusement and Windcharger laughed.
"Yes folks it has the bearings of being a great day!" Sliverstreak said sarcasticly.



Swindle smirked as one of Berger's assistants showed him the vehicles being used for the conversion process.
The new military vehicles modes were an excellent choice compared to their previous forms.
Swindle had designated each vehicle a name which the assistant had copied down on his clipboard.
Swindle removed a container like box from his back and placed it down on the ground opening it up and pointing out each Spark and what vehicle it was to go to.
The Sparks were that of the four other Combaticons as well as Instructions on a data card instructing how to replicate the Combiner chips used in the Stunticons, "When will they be ready?".
"it'll take some time" The assistant sputtered nervously, "I'm sure Mister Berger will contact you when they are completed".
Swindle grunted and stepped back transforming into his vehicle mode, "Make sure he does Megatron would be very displeased if it's not finished to his liking!".
The assistant nodded as Swindle drove off.





Chip Observed the two badly damaged Life supported Autobots, Both had Sustained heavy damage and were thought dead after the Unicron war found in statis aboard a crashed shuttle but never revived during the previous wars, now they had a chance to be restored and rebuilt into new bodies. Chip smiled as he recognized the two.
"Is everything ready?" He asked aloud.
"Yes sir, just waiting for your go ahead".
"Proceed with the transfer" Chip ordered as he looked up at the two, "Hurry back Brawn and Ironhide. The others are going to need you soon".
The transfer machines activated with a surge of power two precision lasers cutters lowered in place cutting the layers of rust and damaged armor on both of the statis locked Autobots.

Chapter 14



"It might be possible" Prowl spoke as he pondered my plan.
"Soooooo" Smokescreen said as he rolled around on the floor using his Vehicle mode back wheels on his feet, "Sideswipe your saying we send out two teams one to deal with the Decepticons when they attack the other infiltrates their base?".
Roller blading that's what Spike called it, "Yes...Sort of" Bah even I questioned this plan now!
"Sounds like a rehashed version of the plan Grimlock came up with, It failed. Just ask him!" Windcharger chimed in.
"Well I don't see you coming up with a better strategy" Sunstreaker grunted.
"Well since your overflowing with ideas, You come up with a better one!"
Windcharger challenged.
"Hotspot" I changed the subject, "Have you guys been anywhere near the Ark?".
"Blades has been inside using the top entrance once, But since then it's been to hard to get inside with the entrance now sealed". Hotspot reported.
"Sealed?".
"Yes, About a week after Earth time, After we "Accuired" a C.R. Bed. The Military Sealed all the entrances off after that" Hotspot recanted.
"Wait!" Bumblebee interrupted, "What about the Underground tunnel?".

It took a moment for all of us to remember what the Mini spy referred too.
The Tunnel the constructicons had dug Under the Ark to reprogram Telitran-1 during our Excile from Earth by Berger and the 'Cons.
Optimus Prime had it turned into an escape tunnel and later on extended to the near by ruins of Autobot City.

"We might have a better chance of getting in through the old Ruins!" Jazz motioned.
"What's The point of this?" Prowl asked.
"To see wether or not we can use Telitran-1 to contact Cybertron!" I replied.





Swindle slid to a hault in front of the old Autobot base looking over the Concrete sealed entrence.
"Stupid Fleshbags" Swindle laughed as he transformed and pulled out a capsule from a chemical Carrier inbeded in his arm.
The tube shattered against the wall dissolving against the wall creating a hole in the man made building material.
Swindle slid into the interior and decended through the levels of the ship to the engine room to reistablish the power connections to the rest of the ship.
Making his way downward with his headlights guiding his way, Swindle emerged from from the access tube near the engine room.
And took in the scene in front of him most of the coils from the power core were disconnected Swindle tested the Connectors to each port they were designed for and plugged them in one by one, Swindle went over to the main control panel and traced the connections on the lit up display screen.
With everything green Swindle powered up the dormant Ark internal systems sending power to the entire ship.
Swindle looked everything over before he entered a Mag lift heading for his goal, The armory.
Swindle entered the armory and begun loading a crate up with power packs and even stopping to pick up a blaster cannon that seemed to fit on his arm rather well.
"I'll have to comeback and reload on this stuff I could make a huge profit here".
Swindle laughed as he left the Armory and started to leave the Ark and stopped before the dormant screen of Telitran-1.
With a power pack inserted into his new weapon Swindle took aim and fired a shot that tore through the display screen and destroying the electronics behind it.
Shortly after he walked out and transformed the crate loaded into the back of his vehicle mode filled with power packs Swindle ready to drive off back to Berger's military complex.
Swindle started to drive forward and stopped mid way as the shadowed forms of some Transformers approached the Ark, He backed into a sub room and waited transforming back to bot mode.






Prowl transformed in front of the other members of his assembled team, Jazz looked forward at the once sealed entrance that now had a gapping hole in the sealed wall.
Hound knelt down scaning his optics across a set of tracks that traced the ground.
"Someone was here!' Jazz spoke aloud.
"It was Swindle" Hound replied.
"Not good!" I replied
"I almost would have missed it if I didn't take a second look" Prowl replied as he brought out his blaster as did the Rest of the group.
Hound stood up his pistol in his left hand as the hoster sealed close again.
"Lets go!" I ordered as we began to run forward approaching the hole that sat in the middle of the once sealed wall.
Sunstreaker whistled as we passed the wreckage of the permiter guns.
"Well I hope Meansor got slaged up real good by those guns".
"He did" Streetwise replied to Sunstreaker's comment.

Prowl approached the hole first his optics playing over the edge of the hole.
"Some sort of Acidic substance, Just be careful of it".
The other Autobots nodded in agreement as they walked in.
To their suprise the Ark was lit under it's own power once again, Prowl walked towards the main control room and up to a smoldering Telitran-1.
"Slag!" Prowl cursed loudly.
The rest of us walked over to his position and looked at the destroyed screen
"Can it be repaired?" Hound asked.
"Possibly I think, But I think we should bring Wheeljack out here to make sure"
"Do it" I ordered, "What about the satilites in orbit. Could we divert their control over to Metroplex?".
"I don't know it might be possible once we get an idea of the damage here" Prowl responded.
I nodded positively as Prowl set out to call Wheeljack.
"Hound you and Jazz wait by the entrance, Sunstreaker, Streetwise the bridge I'll check the exterior. In case we even need to move this ship again we will know how sturdy she is!"
The rest nodded as the set out to their task.

Opening a hatch on the port side of the ship Sideswipe stepped down from the ship and looked around at the hull of the Ark.
It still gleamed even in this muted light.
I started to re-think my crazy idea of the Ark flying again but I knew it wouldn't it's last flight had done more damage then good at the hands of Megatron, It crashed in Alaska and was moved back here after it had been retaken from Megatron. My train of thought became interupted when I noticed a faint glint of light shining high above near one of the Volcano's walls.
After addjusting my optics The object became clearer, It looked like the wreckage of a ship's bow but torn from the rest of it's hull and constructed to make shift pillars that held it high off the ground.
"What in Primus is this?" I asked aloud using my anti- gravity boosters to fly up to look the object over it looked extremely old by the Ark's standards.
"Prowl".
"Yes Sideswipe?".
I think you should come out side the ship, Better have Chip come along with wheeljack too, I think I found something".
"What is it?" Prowl asked.
"Some sort of weird control platform, Almost like a ship's control deck with part of it's hull intact".
"What?" Prowl asked in shock, "I'm on my way".


Prowl looked up at the structure, "It's too small to be an Autobot ship".
I nodded as I looked up at it again, But it's controls are too big for Humans plus the key pads have Cybertronian scripts on them".
Prowl looked up again, "is it stable enought to stand on?".
"I was up there. Their's a control console attached to what looks like a main computer core".
Activating his flight pads Prowl assended upwards to the structure and looked over the key pad pressing one of the buttons that activated the terminal.
"It's some sort of Cybertronian writing...I think" Prowl yelled down, "And what is a Maximal?"
I didn't recognize the word "Not sure!"
"Sideswipe, Prowl we got a problem" Jazz's voice played over their comms.
"What is it ?" I asked
"Located Swindle, Hound has engaged him in a one on one fight"
Prowl looked down on me from above as he decended to the ground.
"Were on our way" I replied.

Nice. The Axalon's bridge. I approve.

This is some amazing work. I can't wait to read more.

Chapter 15





Megatron sat solomly in his throne in the midst of his rest cycle when something inside his slumbering body went wrong.

He stumbled from the throne falling to his knees the agony that racked his body sending him into a spasm, He fought to get up on one knee and fell forward sprawled to the earth.

"Soundwave, Shockwave. I need you!" Megatron grunted loudly as he tried to fight back the searing pain that raged across his body.

"Megatron!" Soundwave's mono voice spoke as he rushed forward to help his leader.
Manical laughter issued from the shadows as Starscream came forward.
"Ah how the mighty have fallen!".

Megatron looked up at the backstabbing Seeker, "Fallen, Yes. Finished, Never!"
Megatron Rose up to his full height punching Starscream in his midsection shattering the armored plating of the seeker's abdomen.
Starscream relled back in pain as Megatron stood his rail gun primed.
"Your disloyalty to me ends now!" Megatron seethed.
"No- You can't do this, Megat-" Starscream bellowed as the blast from the rail gun struck him in the center of his body obliterating Starscream's chest and head, leaving a gapping hole where sparks and leaking mech fluid poured out, The only thing keeping the body upright was the energy of the spark. Starscream's indestructible spark.
A armored fist reached in and ripped the spark out from the center of the body's wreckage causing it to fall to the ground leaking mech fluid from the hole.
"To bad this didn't get blown away too!" Shockwave grunted.
"Store him in the spark containment field!" Megatron grunted as the other Decepticons came running to see what had taken place.
"Take me to the scientist!" Megatron groaned.
Soundwave helped suport Megatron and walked him to the Lab.



After two time cycles Doctor Archivillie and Doctor Fujiyama spoke and confronted Megatron.
"The same version of the Cosmic Rust Virus you altered to destroy the Autobots is affecting you, It is slowly destroying your body" Archivillie responded.
"Impossible" Megatron seethed.
"It is true, There are substancial traces of it slowly eating away at your Cybertronian body. The discomfort will indeed get worst!" Doctor Fujiyama reported.
"Stop it!".
"We can't you will need to under go the Alternator process as well" Fujiyama replied.
"Megatron it's the only was to save yourself, your only chance at surviving!" Archivillie reported.

Megatron turned away then looked back at the two huimans.
"I will select the most powerful form on this planet for my conversion but you must salvage everything you can from this body. I will not give up my power plant to this acursed Virius".

Archivillie and Fujiyama nodded as Megatron left the lab under his own power with Soundwave following close behind.






Swindle took a step back as Hound closed in on him.
"I'll take care of him!" Hound grunted.
Jazz sruged and stood back, As hound hostered his pistol and stalked forward, Swindle swung his new arm blaster in Hound's direction but had it knocked away as Hound got in close.
The two locked fist and began to struggle for control, exchanging glancing blows nether one giving up their posistion, fighting to a stand still.
"Stinking Autobot let go of me!" Swindle growled.
"Not likely" Hound smiled as he punched the Decepticon in the midsection catching him off guard.

Sideswipe and Prowl entered the hallway and stood next to Jazz as the fight carried out in front of them.
"Ok lets get him!" Prowl grunted as he started forward intending to break up the fight.
"No" Hound barked, "He's mine!".
Swindle landed a blow to the side of Hounds helmet temporary knocking him off balance, Hound recovered and battered Swindle with his fist landing blow after blow.
Swindle landed against the wall spiting out Mech fluid.
"I could market a fighter like you back on Cybertron" Swindle laughed as he realled forward going for Hound.
Hound Grabed Swindle's arm and brought him around in a half circle and slamed him back first into the wall.
Glass from his wind sheild fell to the ground as Swindle landed against the wall, Hound reached forward and grabed the protective ramming bars that were mounted to Swindle's chest and lifted him high tossing him out of the room against another piece of armored wall.
Hound walked over and knelt down slaming Swindle in the face shattering his optic Visor.
Swindle pulled him self across the deck of the dormant ship away from Hound.
"I yeild!" Swindle pleaded as he scrambled backwards.
"Too bad!" Hound grunted as he landed another blow to Swindle's head sending him into statis lock.
Hound reached up to the celling and yanked down a lenght of cable and tied Swindle's arms together.
Hound lifted the sprawled form upwards and carried him over his shoulder and stopped infront of Sideswipe and Prowl.
"Im taking him to the detention block" Hound reported.
We both nodded as Jazz shook his head in disbelief watching Hound walk past
"Let's get finished up here and return to base".
The sound of armored feet stalked into the corridor as Wheeljack and Chip Chase came into view.
"So?" Chip inquired, "What are we all doing here?".
"We have something to show you!" Prowl answered as we stopped infront of them.



A short time later Wheeljack turned to Sideswipe and Prowl as chip worked away at one of the terminals next to Wheeljack.
"This is something I never seen" Wheeljack spoke softly, "Far beyond the Technology that we have".
"Is it from Cybertron?" Prowl asked.
"Some of the key pads on this thing lead me to believe that, But other symbols are diffrent." Wheeljack replied.
"Could it be from the future?" Chip asked.
"Possibly...Or the past" Wheeljack mumbled.
Wheeljack turned to converse with the other two Autobots when Chip spoke up loudly, "Hey look at what I found!".
The three Autobots watched the image on the screen infront of Chip as a bot resembling Optimus Prime spoke but with no Audio his words went unheard.
"By the Allspark!" Prowl staired at the screen, "Optimus Prime?".








Megatron Looked over the statis field and grabed a yellow Spark that floated inside.
"Your time has come, Do not fail me like Starscream did or you will end up back in here".
The yellow spark flaired in rage turning red as Megatron stalked off to the Lab once again with the new Spark in his grip.

Well, I didn't have to wait long for the next chapter. Great work and I can't wait for more.

Chapter 16






"Ah that's music to mah gears" Ironhide spoke after Spike filled in the two newest Alternators, "Brawn how ya feelin?".
"Haven't felt this good in zeta cycles" Brawn replied as he flexed and stretched his new body's joints.
"Good to see you to back in action" Spike smiled.
"Where's Phrime?" Ironhide questioned.
"Optimus is still on cybertron but the others haven't been able to contact him, He gave Sideswipe command of this mission so you would report to him" spike replied.
Ironhide nodded his head, "When will tha others git back?".
"Possibly soon" Spike replied, "They found something in the old volcano after heading for the Ark. Chip and Wheeljack left here a short time ago to join up with them" Spike
Ironhide nodded his head as Brawn tested his new transformation and returned to bot mode, "Heh talk about smooth transistion".
Spike chuckled and turned as he heard the remaining Autobot walk into the lab Ironhide looked over the Protectobots and recognized Grimlock.
"Well yank mah camshaft!" Ironhide laughed.
"Me Grimlock do no such thing!".
"I can see big and dumb hasn't changed much" Brawn smirked.
"Brawn?" Windcharger asked as he looked the other over, "Well I guess we all can't be mini-bots any more!" .
"Speak for your self!" Cliffjumper barked as he walked in with Bumblebee standing behind him.
Brawn muffled a laugh.
Smokescreen's comm squaked to life causing him to look down, "Tracks whats up?"
"Just got word from Prowl on the platform they found near the Ark, Seems that it's some sort of ship or remains of a ship" Tracks reported, "With some sort of video of Optimus Prime".




Thundercracker and Skywarp stood above the remains of their commander.
"You think that's the end of him?" Thundercracker asked.
"No, Starscream doesn't stay dead you know that" Skywarp responded.
"Yea" Thundercracker conceeded as he kicked a piece of scrap that bounced off Starscream's remains and fell further down the pile.
Ramjet, Dirge, and Thrust walked up to the two sub-commanders, "He'll be back and it'll be too soon if you ask me" Dirge smirked and turn walking back the way he came with the other two cone heads following close behind.
Skywarp turned to follow leaving Thundercracker to think to himself as he turned and followed afterwards.




The newly repaired Stunticons walked out of the south section of the lab and walked past the new body Doctor Archivillie was working on with Doctor Fujiyama in a near by office.
Motormaster stopped by the portable Spark containment feild and kicked it causing the spark to flare red.
Motormaster turned and looked at the half human-cyborg doctor,
"Is that who I think it is?".
Doctor Archivillie looked up from the half buuilt body he was working on, "You'll find out soon enough Motormaster".
Motormaster growled and kicked the containment feild again before walking out with the Stunticons close behind.
Deadend stopped in his tracks and stood there looking at the spark as it glowed a viloent red the glare also brought about Doctor Archivillie's attention.
"Your redemption will come soon my friend" Deadend smirked and walked over to Archivillie, "Does Megatron have you installing a Spark inhibitor?".
Archivillie turned and responded, "Why do you ask?".
"Because I can!" Deadend growled.
Archivillie's cybernetic eye zeroed in on Deadend and srugged, "It's on that bench".
Deadend looked and found the inhibitor picking it up and crushing it between his hand sending a puff of smoke skyward and dropped it to the ground, "Now their isn't one".
Archivillie looked up at Deadend, "You do realize that he will be completely uncontrolable now!"
"Of course" Deadend laughed as he walked out of the lab, "All part of my plan".




Chip looked up at wheeljack, "I think I cracked it!".
Wheeljack peeked around the monitor attached to the computer core, "What you got?".
Chip punched a series of key strokes and the string of monitors in the front of the ship came to life all showing the same image of a bot that looked like Optimus Prime.

"Data track file Primal fifty two, We have completed modifications on the shuttle and are ready to return to Cybertron as soon as we secure Megatron to the riggings atop the shuttle.
Hopefully this planet's time line hasn't been to serverly damaged to where it will affect the future events of this planet and our ancestors past".
The bot giving the report turned his attention else where for a moment as the screen became static and resumed, "Optimus Primal, Commander of the Maximal Ship Axilon and her crew. End report.

"Optimus Primal?" Wheeljack asked aloud, "Never heard of him...".
Chip scrolled over the translated text files.
"Apparently he and his crew are your decendents...I think, I could be wrong".
Wheeljack shook his head in disbelief, "Lets copy everything we can and get back to Metroplex. We can decode the rest later".
Chip nodded as he set to work downloading the remaining data files of the computer core.

Great work JD, can't wait for the next chapter. You have me hooked with this fic!

Chapter17



Inside the containment field one lone spark seperate from the others slamed into the containment shield, It bounced backwards from the momentium a few centimeters and tried again.
It couldn't escape it's prison.
The aggravated spark watched as one of his former soldiers stood infront of the containment field.

Thrust! The spark remembered as the cone head looked down with a smirk.

"I wonder which one is Starscream?" Thrust mused as he brushed his finger tips across the energy shield, they drifted inward breaching the containment slighty.

That's it! The spark reasoned, In order to escape this hell I need someone to breach the sheild from the outside.
Thrust sneered and walked away as another form approached the containment field.
It was the Stunticon, Dragstrip.
Dragstrip looked down at the spark floating infront of him as it floated closer to the edge of the shield.
Come on, Come on The spark becconed sliently.

"Dragstrip!".

The startled Stunticon jumped backwards as Megatron approached him,
"Megatron...Sir!".

The spark floated backwards at the mention of Megatron's name.

"What are you doing here?" Megatron questioned.
Just looking...I was leaving though" Dragstrip replied.
"See that you do!" Megatron growled.
Dragstrip nodded and hurried off leaving Megatron to stare at the containment field, "What are you planing?".
The blue spark shrunk back near the others in the containment field.
Megatron laughed before he also walked off.
The blue spark moved forward again and saw Megatron stumble and regain his vertical base as he continued on till he was out of sight.
The containment feild seemed insignificant to the blue spark, As well as the time he would wait for his plan to become reality.
I will have my revenge!.



"I will have my revenge!" The newly activated Decepticon growled as his eyes blazed with a deep red hue.
The two human sciencetist cowered in the corner looking up at the newly built Decepticon stomped forward his fist envleloped in a ball of crackling energy, he raised his fist level with a near by rock wall and let the chaotic energy slam into the wall blowing a hole large enough for him to pass through unhindered.
Dust floated throughout the air as he stepped through and transformed blasting sky ward away from the Decepticon base leaving everything near the hole ablazed in firey backwash.

Doctor Archivillie and Fujiyama crawled out of hiding as the massive armored form of Megatron stormed into the lab, "What has happened here?" Megatron inquired in a grunt, "Where is he?".
"Sunstorm has escaped!" Fujiyama replied as the two humans stood up.
"What about the inhibitor chip?" Megatron growled.
"It wasn't...effective" Archivillie replied.
Megatron walled towards the burning hole in the rock wall looking skywards before he spoke aloud.
"Thundercracker, Skywarp, Gather your underlings and get to the lab immeditly" Megatron shouted over his commlink, "We have a rouge Decepticon to deal with!".
Deactivating his comm before a replie could come Megatron slamed his fist into the allready crumbling hole some of it crumbling around the impact crater of his fist.
No sooner did he pull his fist from the wall the remaining Seekers approached him, Megatron turned to them and growled, "Sunstorm has escaped bring him back. Now!".
The five Seekers Blinked back a look of shock and ran out the hole transforming to their jet modes and headed Skywards after the rouge Decepticon.




Swindle's opptics addjusted as his internal systems came back online from the temporary statis lock he had been in, Dialing up the light filters to his visorless opptics he looked around.
It was a holding cell of sorts onboard the Ark, He crawled to a vertical base bring his extended arm to the near by wall to brace himself as he slid forward across the armored floor.
Swindle growled in frustration as his right knee locked up, Sparks shooting from the damaged joint.
Swindle made it to the locked door as a secret panel containing arch weilders and working waldos and cutters in his arm opened, A cutting Waldo extended outwards as it's blade started spinning as it dug into the armor plating of the wall cutting upwards and to the left.
Another waldo slid out and into the gap created by the cutting tool and plied open the plating revealing the wiring harnest and conductor pipes within.
Swindle reached in and ripped out the wiring harnest causing the overhead lights to flicker slightly for a moment before returning to a normal state.
Swindle began testing the ends of the torn wires to some of the others when a clicking noise issued from the door, Dropping the remaining wires Swindle cracked the seal and pushed the door sliding it backwards to get it open far enough to slide his fingers into the gap and open it all the way.
"I'm out of here!" Swindle chuckled as he crept forward onto the eleivated walk way and looked around as he limped away from the cell.
"It be eaiser if I transformed".
Swindle dropped down to the ground in a stiff series of movements as he reverted to his vehicle mode and rolled forward for a way off the walk way.
Swindle turned down a side corridor an found a upper level access hatch normally used for supply loading but it would serve as an escape hatch as well.
A hatch slid open on Swindle's hood and a capsule of acid launched out as Swindle backed away as it impacted against the door eating away a hole in the hatch slowly but never the less it did the job. Swindle transformed again standing stiffly as he slid through the gap in the hatch and leaped down transforming in mid air and slamming to the ground inside the volcano near the side of the Ark, His suspension and shocks blew apon impact with solid ground, Swindle grunted back the surge of electric static that shot through his internal systems showering out sparks from various parts of his body.
Swindle started off driving out of the volcano when a voice called out.
"Hey get back here!" Sunstreaker shouted and fired his blaster as Swindle sped off, Sunstreaker turned back and yelled back into the Ark, "Swindle escaped!".
Hound, Sideswipe, and Prowl ran forward as the fading trail of dust began to settle back to the ground in the distance.
"Let him go" I spoke aloud, "Were pretty much finished here any way".
"Right" Prowl nodded as the four Autobots turned and walked back into the interior of the Ark.



Sunstorm de-accelerated from his mach three speed and transformed into bot mode turning in the direction of the oncoming Seekers.
Yellow torrents of energy formed around his fist and flaired from his eyes.
The approaching Seekers transformed and slowly approached the newest Decepticon.
"We take him now!" Dirge growled as he shot forward.
Sunstorm drifted out of Dirge's path and turned unleashing a surge of pure energy that slashed through Dirge's entire left side ripping away his wing and causing the missile to detonate.
His arm and entire leg disinigrated as he fell from the sky, The four remaining Seekers Growled in rage as they to shot forward.
Sunstorm smiled and stood ready as the group enganged in a battle that looked more like an Aerial dance, He greated each combatant like a lost lover the entire skimish lasted less then a minute as the other four Seekers fell from the sky in raged pieces.

While Sunstorm hovered above like a preverbial god.

The long awaited (Trust me I know).....






Chapter 18 :jawdrop




The returning Autobots entered the Binaltech complex and drove into the main vehicle entrance.

Outside the gate sat a lone Mini-van with tinted windows, It's two occupints sat in slience till the last of the returning vehicles disappeared into a side entrance.

"We've got activity!" the passenger spoke over his two-way radio.

"Confirmed Delta one, Hold your posistion till the order is given".

"Roger".
The passenger looked over again as a aluminun gate shuttered down covering the entrance that the last car a Mustang Mach 1 disappeared behind.
The driver starting up the vehicle mumbled as he put the lighter into the slot.
"Wait where are we going?, We have Ord-"
"Im just warming up the lighter, I need a smoke" the driver interupted as he pulled out a ciggerette from it's pack, "You know whats odd. Those cars are vintage autos from the early Two Thousand to Two Thousand and Ten".
"Yea so?" The passenger asked.
"Why do they look like the just drove off a showroom floor?" The driver remarked as he replaced the lighter and shut the engine off.


A hualer drone with Motormaster in the lead returned to the Decepticon base with the damaged remains of the remaining five Seekers.
Breakdown, Dragstrip, and Wildrider looked at the remains in shock.
"Wow...Sunstorm tore them up good..." Breakdown mumbled.
Dragstrip shook his head in shock as Deadend Aproached,
"Well, Atleast their lucky to be in Statis lock!".
Deadend laughed untill something slamed into him from the back sending him across the floor.
"You'll be next!" Megatron growled as he reached forward to grab the bewildered Decepticon.
"I'm not putting my Skid Plate on the line again!" Deadend said mid transfromation as his tires squealed racing out of the grip of Megatron and the decepticon base.
Wildrider, Dragstrip and Breakdown stood back away from the Decepticon Leader as he turned around and shouted, "Bring him back Now!".
The remaining Stunticons transformed and race out after Deadend.



Wheeljack and Chip sat hunkered over a input terminal downloading all of the data they had retreved from the Maximal Computers
As Wheeljack worked nostop to decode the new data a Maximal emblem appeared on the main terminal.
"Maximal Database online" The female voice sounded.
Wheeljack and Chip nodded Happily as the began requesting information from the addvanced program.
Chip accessed a program labeled logs and the likness of a hairy Optimus Prime appeared.
"Why is Optimus in a Ape suit?" Chip laughed.
"What?" Wheeljack leaned over eyes wide, "Primus!"
Wheeljack turned and tapped in a few commands and read the response, "Optimus Primal, Leader of the Maximal Experdition team".
"Optimus Primal eh?" Chip asked.
"Never heard of him..." Wheeljack replied.

Prowl entered into the lab and stood behind Wheeljack, "Any news?".
Wheeljack turned slightly, "We just started decoding the root files and personal logs, it'll take some time before everything is fixed and repaired".

Prowl nodded and backed up, Turning and bumping into Smokescreen, Both back stepped to recover.

"Prowl you have a moment?" Smokescreen responded.
"Sure" Prowl replied.
The two Autobots walked away from the lab a bit as Smokescreen begun to speak.
"Spike mentioned a off road racing compitition that im interested in cheacking out, It would be a good undercover mission for us, A rare oppitunity".
Prowl nodded as he contimued to keep pace with the other Autobot.
"The grand prize is a experimental Fuel cell" Smokescreen replied.
"Do you think the Decepticons would show up to steal it?" Prowl asked.
"Possibly" Smokescreen replied.
Prowl came to a stop as he considered the plan, "Assemble a team just in case you need back up".
Smokescreen nodded as he turned to head off Prowl turning in the oppisite direction as he headed back to the command room.



Megatron stood next to Soundwave and flanked by Shockwave who stood guard at the rear.
"How long before they are functional?" Megatron requested.
"Some time if we are to repair their current forms...It may be tough to find replacement parts" Archiville replied.
"We almost have enough raw materials to construct Alternator Forms!" Fujiyama replied.
"Get more!" Megatron growled.
Both of the human scientist nooded.
"Will they be as powerful as Sunstorm?" Megatron asked.
"Sunstorm's raw power came from his altered Spark" Fujiyama addressed the Decepticon leader, "The destroyed inhibitor would have regulated that power as well as implant a more controled personality".
Megertron grimaced as electrical fire roared thought out his internals. It tore through his slowly degrading form he had noticed the beginings of the same affiction on some of the other Cybertronian Decepticons as well.
Before this war was over Most of the Decepticons, If not all would be rebuilt into Alternator forms.
"Prepair enough Alternator bodies for them, They must be rebuilt to deal with Sunstorm!" Megatron ordered.
Bludgeon walked into the room and waited off to the side for Megatron to notice him.
"Shockwave, You and Bludgeon will formulate a plan to stop the Autobots from interfering with my goal of Bleeding this planet dry!".
Bludgeon bit back a growl and nodded his head.



The red pickup truck pulled up to the gate as the guard opened it for the truck to move forward out from the complex.
Spike nodded to the guard as he drove past turning into the main road heading east.
"Where Ah We Goin Spike?"
"To pick up some suplies that Wheeljack requested" Spike replied.
"Ah ok" Ironhide replied.
As they moved down the street Spike noticed a Mini-van sitting outside of the entrance in his rear view.
"Contact Prowl, Tell him we got some unwellcomed guest out side the gates!" Spike replied.



Prowl nodded at the report from Ironhide, infact it was the same Mini-van they had passed on the way back eariler.
Spike had guessed they were a team of covert ops sent in by the E.D.C. to keep an eye on the Binaltech complex. But the real question is Who sent them?.
Was it Melissa Fairborne?.
Surely she would have pre-warned spike or us if she had gotten wind of this or did someone over step her command and send this team out?.
I watched Prowl look over a monitor as he continued to talk with Ironhide and Spike when a thought came to mind.
What if this was a indication of things to come?, Because if it was things might get worse around here for us all.
I turned and walked out of the command room as Smokescreen and Sliverstreak walked past pre-pairing for their mission.
"Smokescreen!" I called out.
Smokescreen turned and looked back, "Yes?".
"Take Sunstreaker with you I think you'll need the back up"
Sliverstreak Laughed, "Like what polishing our windows after the race?"
I smirked, It was rather funny.
Smokescreen nodded as i turned away to Find Sunstreaker.



Swindle managed to limp back to Berger's military compound, As he entered into the gate four Military ehicle sat in waiting just inside a hanger. Suddenly all four transformed and approached the Damaged Combaticon.
"You look like the remains of a Junkion waste pile".
"Probbly smells like one too..."
"Wellcome back Swindle" Onslaught spoke firmly as he extended his armored fist forward prompting Swindle to stiffly Transform and lock fist with the Combaticon Leader as sparks rained from his damaged body.
"I have acomplish what neither Starscream, Nor Megatron could do, I have restored my brothers in arms!".
The other Combaticons nodded in respect to Swindle.
"Escort our brother to the tech Lab for repairs" Onslaught commanded.
The others surounded Swindle and walked him away but he stoped after a few metters.
"What is it?" Vortex asked.
"I have one small detail to attend too".
Swindle looked down at the scorched Decepticon symbol on his hood, It was the one thing that sperated him from his brothers.
Swindle looked down at it again and made a desision.
With a rage filled pull, Swindle ripped the piece of armor away from his hood and droped it to the ground.
"No Longer will the Combaticons serve Megatron!" Swindle spoke aloud as he walked forward with the assistance of his brothers to the same bunker they had been rebuilt in. Soon he would be repaired and the Combaticons would be a force to be reckoned with.

Finally!! I glad to see this fic back up and running. Great chapter JD and I can't wait for more.

YEa sorry for the wait I had been so busy with the new job and G/F I didn't really have time to do anything in terms of posting.

Chapters 19 and 20 are done and soon to be posted and im re writing the movie now.

Hey John, when are we gonna get the new chapters?

Chapter19



The Three Autobots Smokescreen, Sliverstreak, and Sunstreaker skidded to a hault at the main gate check point.
They sat behind a line of other cars in line to enter into the rally race.
"Holo-Drivers in place?" Smokescreen questioned.
"Check!" Sliverstreak replied
There was a momentary pause before Smokescreen spoke again.
"Sunstreaker?".
"Slag...Do I have to?".
"Slag not here, Or did you forget?" Sliverstreak mocked".
"Yes you have to!" Smokescreen ordered, "Or you'll blo our cover!".
"Frag it!" Sunstreaker cursed as he activated his Holo-driver program, "But once we get back to base Im having Wheeljack change it".
"Ut oh we got a Problem" Sliverstreak commented.
"What?" Smokescreen asked.
"I've downloaded some satalite data, And from the looks of it Sunstreaker is going to have to sit this one out"
"Oh?" Smokescreen remarked.
"Yup the course that is shown here is to much for Sunstreaker's low profile body".
"Right" Smokescreen replied, "Streaker your gonna have to sit this one out".
"Im not complaining" Sunstreaker replied.
"But you will have to contact base and inform them of the change in plans" Smokescreen replied.
"So Streaker's going to be our race bunny" Sliverstreak laughed.
"You are so not funny" Sunstreaker growled.
"Ok" Smokescreen stated, "Sliverstreak lets go".
Sliverstreak rev'ed his engine as he followed Smokescreen into the entrance gate.


If the decepticons are here, they are masking their presence well Smokescreen pondered as he and Sliverstreak drove past some of the other cars in the line up.
"Import Tuners" as Spike refered to them.
Most of them foriegn cars modified for various degrees all to gain increased speed.
Never the less both he and Sliverstreak would do well on this course.
The two Autobots pulled into two near by spots, Their Holo-drivers exiting the vehicles and waited along side.
Three members of the event walked up to the two vehicles one with a clipboard, Who starrted writing.
The other two slapped magnetic number decals to the sides of the Driver and passenger doors and walked off to the next set of cars.
The one with the clipboard approached Smokescreens driver and spoke aloud, "It would have been nice if you was number 1. But for today your number 8".
After the Clipboard guy left Smokescreen spoke, What number did you get?".
Sliverstreak laughed, "Thirty eight!, Talk about a twist of fate".




Shawn Berger sunk lower in his chair, His cigar droped into the ashtray as Megatron's image loomed over him in the monitor.
"I haven't seen Swindle since I was last at your base" Berger studdered to find words, "All I can do is keep an eye out for you Megatron".
"You better not cross me Berger!" Megatron growled, "I will need six of your current fighter jets like the one you recently supplied to me, As well as a heavily armored Tank".
"I think I may have the type of Tank you seek, but the Fighters will take time!" Berger replied.
"Get it done!" Megatron snired as his image dissapeared from the monitor.

Berger recovered him self and pull himself upwards in his chair taking a long pull from his cigar to relax.
"This deal with Megatron is becoming more costly then I can pay for" Berger mumbled as he pulled out order forms looking for the items on the list he would need to request and transfer over to his Private forces.
At least I wont have to finish the deal with Starscream, The rebuilt Combaticons soley belong to me, eventually I'll have to deal with Megatron but I intend to have the combaticons be more powerful then any of the Decepticons. Swindle my have to play double agent a little longer...
Berger assembled his paperwork and stoed them in his carrying case, he snatched up his cigar and cain and left his office.
As berger passed his secertary he spat out an order for his limo to be ready as he headed towards the elevator that would take him to the parking garage below his building.

Once on the ground floor his limo awaited him engine running as the driver opened the door to let Berger climb in to the back, "Take me to the base!" Berger ordered as the driver nodded and closed the door.

Shortly thereafter the limo pulled up to the gate and were waved through as the limo drove forward towards a seires of hangers that hid the Combaticons.
Berger ordered the Driver to stop as he jumped out and walked at a huried pace to the repair bay Swindle rested appon.
A large barrel swung into Berger's path sending him back peddling.
"Oh..." Brawl grumbled as he droped the weapon down, "It's just you".
"Brawl!" Onslaught laughed as he stomped forward looking down at the Human infront of them, "Berger!".
"How long till Swindle is repaired?" Berger asked as he stoped glaring at Brawl.
"He sustained a lot of damage during his escape" Onslaught spoke.
"He needs to be repaired, Soon!" Berger growled as he pounded his cain's tip to the ground, He stormed out fustrated, "This little Shindig is arousing suspision from Megatron!".
Berger walked into the near by research building and grabed the nearest Tech by his coat swinging him forward.
"Get that stinking Decepticon repaired, all of our lives depends on it!".




Smokescreen and Sliverstreak sat in line as some of the cars began to move into place for the start of the race, There was still more car's being registered before the start.
Sliverstreak noticed three Cars rolling past him each one he identiflied as Dragstrip, Wildrider, and Breakdown the Later two sharing the same car body as Windcharger, The Honda S-2000.
Each one had magnetic numbers on their doors, 52, 53, and 55.
"Smokescreen" Sliverstreak spoke.
"Yeah I see them" Smokescreen replied.

"ATTENTION ALL PARTICIPANTS, WE'RE ASIGNING FINAL SPOTS TO THE NEWCOMERS AND WILL BEGIN THE RACE SHORTLY!".




"I don't know what to tell you!" Melissa Fareborne replied to Spike, "There is no standing order to watch your labs!".
Melissa turned to her computer pulling up an E.D.C. Itinerary of mission logs, She scrolled down a list finding one concerning the Binal tech labs marked as unlisted.
She tried her own security level passwords untill one unlocked the listing as "Active Obsevation".
"Son of a-" she cursed aloud trailing off as she read further, "Your activities have been found out they have image profiles of the current Autobot's in vehicle mode".
"Slag!" Spike growled slaming his fist to the table.

"I don't know how this slipped past me!" Melissa growled.
"Someone wanted you out of the loop, How long do we have before you guys come knocking again?" Spike asked.
"I don't know. But be prepaird for a raid at any time, Destroy any evidence related to the Autobots, and Alternator process while you can!".
Spike nodded and shut down the link rushing out of the office Of the E.D.C.

Spike ran towards Ironhide who sat in vehicle mode outside.
"Wha's going on Spike?" Ironhide asked.
Spike jumped in and started the engine, "Weve been discovered and our time is running out. We need to get back to base!".
"Slag. Tha's not good" Ironhide spit as he drove off.
Spike looked back at the supply filled bed behind him, "Wheeljack's supply's is nothing compared to what were going to be dealing with soon enough".
"Ah Spike my boi don't worry, We can handle whateva is tossed at us!"
"I hope so Ironhide...I hope so".

Great! Another chapter.

Sweet! I have been waiting for the return of this fic. Keep up the great work.
