Chapter 19: The Battle of Chicago

"Minidrone is on approach to Trump Tower"

"You're telling me Sulley and Kyle are headed into that?" said Mearing

"Poor boys" said Simmons. "Probably never got close"


"So, you can fly this thing, right?" said Kyle to Bumblebee

Bumblebee said he could barley fly the ship.

"What is that- what is that, what is that? So-so?" said Kyle. "So you so-so can fly this. That feels terrible"

"Don't worry, guys" said Epps. "We're right behind you"

Kyle grabs a shotgun and Sulley gets a handgun. Bumblebee gets in the ship and flies off with Kyle and Sulley.


In the building, where Carrie and Vanellope are being held hostage, the girls were alone in a room and Vanellope got up to look out the window through a telespoce and she can see Sentinel and Megatron.


"The city is secure" said Megatron. "The humans cannot stop us"

"As the afternoon falls, the rest of the pillars will reach their launch position" said Sentinel

"This is the victory I promised you so many years ago" said Megatron. "Where we rebuild Cybertron . . . together"

"I have deigned to work with you" said Sentinel. "That our planet may survive! I will never work for you! And you would be wise to remember the difference"


The ship that Bumblebee is in got up to the balcony. Kyle was the only one getting in the building. Sulley remain inside the ship with Bumblebee. Kyle loaded his shotgun and bent down. Kyle started to hear Lawrence's voice.

"I'm just so sick of this. I'm just sick of waiting" said Lawrence

Kyle got up in front of Lawrence and took a shot at the celling.

"Where are they?" Kyle said, pointing the shotgun at Lawrence. "Where are they?!"

Vanellope and Carrie heard Kyle's voice.

"You've got some balls, kid" said Lawrence

As Vanellope and Carrie entered the kitchen, Laserbeak came out of nowhere and lifted Kyle in the air. Laserbeak threw Kyle out the balcony and Kyle started falling. Vanellope and carrie were caught by two guys in suits. A ship was rising up and on the ship was Kyle. Vanellope and Carrie see him and they broke free and run towards Kyle. They jumped forward to the ship and Kyle caught them.

The ship began shooting the insdie of the building throught the balcony as Vanellopea and Carrie got inside the ship. Laserbeak got on the ship as well and started to attack Kyle as the ship left. The ship crashed into a few buildings and was about to crash and Kyle grabs Laserbeak's neck and placed it on a weapon that is attached to the ship. Bumblebee shoots Laserbeaks's head off and the ship crashed onto the streets.


Lawrence ran towards Megatron.

"Autobots! They're alive!" said Lawrence. "They're here!"

"Decepticons, defend the pillar!" said Megatron. "Raise the bridges! Find them!"


Kyle got off from the ground and Vanellope, Carrie, Sulley, and Bumblebee got out of the ship. The rest of the Autobots as well as The Pearsons, Ricky, Kevin, Epps, Mike, and the other soldiers.

Kyle, Vanellope, Carrie, and Sulley ran to Epps.

"Epps" Kyle answered. "What is that? Is that us?". Kyle was pointed at a camera-like object.

"This thing's a military UAV" said Epps. "Stone, check and see if it's still working'

"Yeah, it's still got power"

"Flight Control, do you copy?" said Epps. "Can, can you rotate? Can you do something?"


"I think we got something"

"Epps!" said Lennox. "We got Epps!"

"Can you rotate? Can you do something? Come on, man! Work! Work!"

"All right, turn the volume up on that!" Lennox replied

Someone use a joystick that controls the military UAV.


The UAV camera started to move.

"Yes, yes!" said Epps. "Okay, okay, okay! They can see us"

"Chicago is ground zero, everybody!" said Kyle

"Please listen up" said Vanellope. "Sentinel Prime is here and he has the pillars to his Space Bridge. They're on top of a building on Chicago River. It's owned by Hotchkiss Gould Investments. Now, the pillar that controls everything is in the southeast cupola"

"You've got to destroy the pillar" said Kyle. "You have to shoot down the pillar or they're going to transport Cybertron here"


"Give me a GPS on the building and on that drone!" said Lennox

"Mensurate those coordinates. Shorten the kill chain"

People were finding the coordinates to the building.


"We need to move before the fighters spot us" said Optimus. "Wait here until we scout a route ahead. Let's roll"

"Ratchet, cover high" said Sideswipe

"Yo" said Kyle. "Think we could use that rocket to shoot down the pillar?"

"We're eight blocks away" said Epps. "We got to get closer to take a shot"

"Not closer. Higher" said Hooch. "We need a clear line of sight"

"And it's across the river" said Epps. "Gonna have a hell of a time trying to sneak up"

"We only got one shot" said Mongo

"One shot's all we need" said Kyle


"We got to be able to see around that building from the ground" said Simmons. "Get NSA to send service specs for any cameras in that area. Maybe some are working. Traffic lights. ATMs. Anything"

"General Morshower, requesting diversionary action to the south of the city" said Lennox. "We're coming north and low, you guys drive them to the east"


All of the Autobots were driving on the streets. The Pearsons, Ricky, Kevin, and Mike got to join them.

"Autobot victory! Autobot victory!" said Brains

Optimus was last one driving until Driller came out of the ground and almost attacked Optimus, which made Optimus lose his trailer. Coming out of Driller was Shockwave, looking at the Autobots.


Everyone ran into an abandoned warehouse to hide.

"That is one scary-ass Decepticon!" said Jake

"They got my trailer. I need that flight tech" said Optimus. "Shockwave can't hunt all of us at once. Wreckers, we need a diversion"

"Let's get some!" said Roadbuster

"You got that right" said Leadfoot

"Listen, we're gonna circle around to that glass building" said Epps. "And we'll get high enough to make the rocket shot while you guys draw his fire. Let's move!"

"Wait a minute!" said Que. "I'm not letting you go out there without my urban combat prototypes"

"We got to go, Que!" said Sideswipe. "Come on"

"Wait, wait" said Que. "They're great inventions for kicking ass!"

"What are these?" said Bethany

"Those are boomsticks. Armed in thirty seconds. Grapple gloves, for climbing"


Everyone ran really quickly out of the warehouse and ran on the streets to the glass building.

The Wreckers were driving on the streets with Wheelie and Brains. They see Shockwave and they start shooting at him. Shockwave was about to shoot them back and the Wreckers backed up, leaving Wheelie and Brains on the streets.

"Hey!" said Brains. "Where you going?!"

"Stop, stop, stop!" said Wheelie. "Don't leave!"

"You never leave a 'bot behind!" said Brains "Shit, Shockwave's coming!"


They arrived at the building and went inside.

"Go for the stairs!" said Epps

"Everyone, this way!" said Kyle


The NEST team soldiers arrived at Chicago in cargo planes. They began to go in but Startscream came by and crashed into a few planes. Lennox and the other soldiers jumped out of the plane. Once they jumped out of the plane, they began flying in their flying suits forward. They passed through falling buildings and other stuff.


They were all on the highest floor of the building.

"There, the building with the dome" said Carrie, pointing at the dome.

The building was shaking and everyone looked out the window and they see Deceticons in ships shooting at the building.

"They're shooting at the building!" said Ricky

"This is not a good idea" said Eddie

"What?" said Vanellope

"This is not a good idea" Eddie answered. "The building's unstable"

"Listen, stop for a second" said Kyle. "If we don't do what we came to do, it doesn't matter, we all die, right? That's your target. Come on, man!"

"I don't even care if the building collapses" said Eddie. "I'm having a heart attack anyway"

As Eddie was taking the shot, the building was about to go over.

"The building is going over!" said Epps. "Hang on!"

Everyone started to go up as everything went sliding down. After ten seconds, it stopped.

"It's okay! It stopped!" said Epps

"Guys, look!" Kevin cried out

Everyone looked out the window and two ships were coming.

"Everybody hide!" said Epps

The two ships were in front of the building. In the building, everyone was hiding. A Decepticon crashed through the window and everyone stayed quiet.

Eddie and the Pearsons pushed some objects down to get the Decepticon's attention. Epps threw a smoke grenade at the Decepticon and it went off, causing smoke to the Decepticon.

"Run!" Epps yelled

Everyone started running from the Decepticon and shooting it.

"Shoot the glass!" said Epps. "Jump out the window!"

Everyone jumped out the windows and they were sliding down.

"Shoot the glass!"

The Pearsons, Ricky, Kevin, and Mike shoot the glass. Everyone was dropped on another floor and they were all sliding down fast.

Sulley was grabbing on to a big wire. He sees Vanellope, Carrie, Kyle, and Mike sliding down. Sulley grabs Carrie, then Carrie grabs Kyle, then Kyle grabs Vanellope, and Vanellope grabs Mike. Ricky grabs Bethany then they got the other Pearson kids. Epps and Kevin were grabbing on to big wires and they almost got thrown got the window. Next to the building outside was Shockwave.

"Is everybody okay?" said Epps

"You okay?" said Ricky to Bethany

"The hell was that?" said Art

"Driller-bot is thirsty" said Shockwave as he looked up

"This evil thing's looking at us!" said Kevin

"What?" said Kyle

Epps and Kevin can see Driller coming by.

"It's even got an uglier Decepticon with it!" said Kevin

"We have to evac!" said Epps

Driller was next to Shockwave and drilled inside of the building.

"Sergeant Epps, the stairs are blocked!" said Hooch

"We're trapped!" said Mike

"Okay. How do we get out of here?" said Bethany

"Oh, Lord Jesus, let me just get out of this alive" said Eddie. "Oh Lord Jesus just let me get out of this alive"

Kyle, Bethany, and Kevin looked down, out the window, and they see

Driller coming up.

"Move!" said Kyle. "We got to move!"

"Why do the Decepticons always get the good shit?" said Lee

"Move!" said Mike

"We're about to be eaten, people!" said Lee

Driller cause half the building blocked and crushed it really hard. Everyone inside the building was rolling and sliding. Half of the building was going down and it crashed into another building. Everyone landed on half-broken windows. Kyle sees Vanellope and Carrie falling and Kyle grabs Vanellope and Carrie landed on a fire escape. She was okay as she got up.

Kyle was swinging Vanellope to Carrie and Vanellope landed safely next to Carrie. Vanellope and Carrie see Driller coming towards them. Then, Optimus comes by in his flying suit.

"I'm coming for you!" said Optimus

Optimus began shooting Driller and fighting with. As he was shooting, he crashed into Driller and Driller was broken into pieces. Shockwave sees this and began shooting at Optimus. Optimus crashed into a crane and was tangled into a bunch of wires. The Wreckers come by and saw Optimus.

"Optimus!" Roadbuster called out

"Wreckers!" said Optimus

"We're coming!"


"Decepticons around the world... launch the pillars" said Sentinel

All of the Decepticons from every country in every place were sending the pillars up to the atmosphere.


"Ah! We are so lost!" said Wheelie

"Always left out" said Brains

Wheelie and Brains see the crashed ship.

"Ooh. Ka-ching" said Wheelie. "It's time to lay down the law"

"About to bring some hurt now" said Brains


Everyone ran outside and began running. Kyle can see the control pillar and it was about to start.

"It's starting!" said Kyle. "You see it?"

Then, a bunch of bullets came down. Epps and the soldiers took cover in a building and the others weren't with them.

"Where are the kids?" said Epps


The others were still walking and they stopped next to a school bus.


"I give you one thing to do" said Epps. "One thing to do, and you drop the ball on that?"

"I ain't signed up for all this!" said Eddie. "Got aliens blasting at me, running around chasing me! I'm ducking through churches and buildings and all that kind of crap, man! This is bullshit! I ain't signed up for this, Epps. I'm trying to keep it together"


As they were looking to see if it were clear, Starscream came down and saw the kids.

"What a treat!" said Starscream. "You and me, alone!"

They began running but they split up. Kyle, Vanellope, Mike, Jake, Kevin, Ricky, and Bethany hid underneath the school bus.

"Okay!" said Kyle. "He's after me, not all of you. Quick! Run!"

They ran inside the school bus.

"You can't hide, boy!" said Starscream

Starscream used his buzzsaw to cut the school bus. They made it out of the school bus alive.

"I just love it when your little insect feet try- to run!" said Starscream

Kyle hid behind a van and the others hid with the other kids. Starscream smashes the van to get Kyle.

"I thought you were working for us, boy!" said Starscream

Kyle takes out a grapple glove and puts it one. Once he puts in on, it transforms and a hook pops out of the glove and hits Starscream in the eye. Starscream got up and Kyle came flying off the ground and was swinging. Lennox and a couple of other soldiers came by.

"Target the Decepticon!" said Lennox

Starscream was moving around and Kyle was swinging with the glove on. Kyle crashed through a window in a building.

"Please, you've got to save Kyle!" said Vanellope. "You've got to save him!"

"What the hell is he doing?"

Kyle grabs a boomstick and sets it off.

"This better work, Que" said Kyle

The soldiers were shooting at Starscream and Starscream was shooting at them.

Kyle jumped out the window and landed on Starscream. Kyle stabbed Starscream in the eye with the boomstick.

"I can't see! I can't see!" said Starscream

"Kyle!" said Lennox as he held on to Kyle

"It's on my hand!" said Kyle. "Grab the knife!"

Lennox takes out his knife and tries to cut the rope on the glove.

"You human scum!" said Starscream

"We got twenty seconds on that bomb!" said Kyle

"What bomb?" said Lennox

"You see that bomb?" said Kyle. "Cut it, cut it, cut it!"

"I got it!" Lennox said. "How long do we have?"

Lennox continued cutting the rope. He finally cuts the rope and Lennox and Kyle were falling. The boomstick exploded and so did Starscream.

Bumblebee came by and transformed into robot mode. He got Lennox and Kyle and transformed back into vehicle mode. Lennox and Kyle were on the hood of the car as Starscream's body landed on the ground.

"Well, he's dead" said Kyle


Bumblebee was driving forward on the streets and the other people were running.

"Hey" said Kyle. "Bee's going to run with the rest of the Autobots and meet us at the edge of the river"

All of the ships were being sucked in one of the bigger ships and one of the ships went inside and crashed.

"It sucked me in!" said Wheelie. "There was nothing I could do!"

Wheelie and Brains got out of the ship and sees a bunch of Decepticons.

"Uh-oh" said Brains. "This is a total cluster"


"We got to get across the river" said Kyle. "You see that? She said the control pillar was in that first cupola"

Lennox and the other soldiers were starting to move.


"Omahawks are inbound. ETA twenty minutes"

"Okay" said Dutch. "I'm in the traffic cameras"

"Four Autobots are captured"

"Oh, my God" said Mearing. "We're helpless"

"Whatever's set to happen, with those pulses getting faster, it's gonna happen soon" said Simmons

"No sign of Optimus"


"How do we get these bridges down?" said Lennox. "Spread out. Check in there"

Lennox and his team ran towards the bridges and Epps and his team came by.

"Epps!" said Lennox. "Epps, I've been looking for your ass. How you doing?"

"Retirement is whack" Epps replied. "Even worse, we can't get across the river to that building, and the Autobots are upstairs, surrounded"


"Just pan the camera around, all right?" said Simmons

"All right. Pan- pan right. That's you" said Dutch

"What are they doing?" said Mearing. "They're just standing there"

"Hang on" Simmons answered. "Dutch, see if you can hack into the bridge"


"It's a good day, boys! What do you got?" said Lennox

"Got a ten-man SEAL unit, sir, tasked with vectoring Tomahawks"

"How long?" Lennox asked

"Fifteen"


Kyle, Vanellope, Carrie, Sulley, Mike, Kevin, Ricky, and the Pearson kids were running to the Autobots and they see the Autobots being held hostage by the Decepticons.


"All right, you're gonna need your forty Mike-Mikes and frags" said Lennox. "Go full auto. The vibrations jack up their circuits. Snipers, shoot for the eyes. All right, your target is up on top of that building, that cupola"


"How doomed you are, Autobots" said Sentinel. "You simply fail to understand, that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Activating the bridge"

Sentinel activated the control pillar, making a space bridge.


Wheelie and Brains were in the control room of the big ship.

"They happy about something" said Brains

"We're in the heart of their ship" said Wheelie. "Let's give them a little ride"

"Oh ho!" said Brains. "We gonna screw this ship up"


"It's a 128K binary encryption code" said Dutch. "It's difficult . . . but not for me, I'm in. Bridge, down"


The bridges were going down.

"The bridge is coming down!" said Epps. "Someone's watching over us!"


"Pleasure working with you, Seymour" said Simmons to himself. "I believe you're supposed to say"

"Good job, Dutch" said Mearing


The Autobots were trying to break free. Kyle and Kevin see a huge laser from the space bridge being shot in space and in space, pieces of hexagons were connected, making the planet Cybertron.

The Wreckers were getting Optimus out.

"Hurry!" said Roadbuster. "They're triggering the pillars!"


"Prisoners?" said Lawrence. "You're keeping prisoners?"

"Yes" Soundwave answered

"You need to teach them about respect" said Lawrence. "This was all business, but now it's personal, do you understand me?"

"I understand" Soundwave replied. "No prisoners, only trophies"

"Bee?" said Que. "I think they're going to kill us"

"You!" said "Your time is up"

"Wait, wait, wait!" said Que. "We surrendered! We're your prisoners. Can't we talk this out? We're all a bunch of good chaps! I mean you no-"

The Decepticons blew up Que into pieces.

"You're mine now" said Soundwave as he grabbed Bumblebee.

Bumblebee tried to break free of Soundwave but tried.

"I got to help him" said Kyle as he took out another boomstick

Kyle tries to activate the boomstick but it didn't work.

"Turn around" said Soundwave as Bumblebee turned around.

The Decepticons were about to kill the Autobots until a big ship came down and crashed, making the Autobots fight with the Decepticons again.


Wheelie and Brains were disconnecting wires from the ship.

"We did it, Brains! We did it!" said Wheelie

"Rip this ship apart!" said Brains


Bumblebee was fighting Soundwave and when he did, Bumblebee shot Soundwave in the face.

The last big ship was falling.


"We had a nice run, Brains" said Wheelie. "You and me"

"We gonna die" said Brains


The ship fell into the Chicago River.

"Come on" said Epps. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Okay, baby! You all come with us!"

All of the soldiers were entering a building.

"Epps, third floor!" said Lennox. "We're going to 45!"

Epps's team was on the third floor and Lennox's team was on the forty-fifth floor.

Lennox looks out the window and sees the Decepticons.

"We got five targets and Shockwave right below us" said Lennox

The soldiers were getting ready to jump and they did. Lennox and another soldier jumped out the windows with parachutes.

"Snipers, take out their eyes" said Epps through his radio.

The Snipers shot the Decepticons in the eyes.

The other soldiers outside placed bombs on the Decepticons' foot and they began to explode. All of the soldiers began shooting at the Decepticons. The Autobots begin shooting at the Decepticons.


"It's our world now!" said Sentinel. "Commence transport!"

In space, Cybertron was getting closer and closer to Earth.

"Oh my Lord" said Kyle as he and the others looked up.

Optimus Prime came flying by and began to fight with the Decepticons. He began to fight Shockwave and hits him multiple of times. Then, Optimus ripped off his eye and shot the control pillar, Making the space bridge stop.

"Get down here, Sentinel!" said Optimus

"Optimus, you forget your place" said Sentinel before he jumped oof the building. "I bring you Cybertron. Your home! And still you choose humanity"

"You were the one who taught me freedom is everyone's right" said Optimus

Optimus and Sentinel began to fight.

"I will retrigger that pillar!" said Sentinel

"Then you'll have to go through me!" said Optimus


"Okay, I've got to try and help" said Kyle. "You all stay here"


"Charge the pillar!" said Sentinel. "Reinforcements! Decepticon ships, fire at Optimus!"

All of the ships were flying to Optimus.

"Decepticons, trigger the pillar!" said Sentinel. "Restart that pillar!"

As the Decepticon ships arrived, they went down and crashed.

Lawrence ran to the control pillar as Kyle did.

"Lawrence!" said Kyle. "Wait!"

Lawrence pushed a heavy object in front of Kyle and Kyle went over it.

"Lawrence!" Kyle called out as Lawrence pulled out a handgun in front of Kyle. "Stop! Stop! No! You can't do this, okay?"

"There's only one future for me" said Lawrence

Kyle and Lawrence began fighting until Lawrence activated the pillar and the spacebridge opened.


"Cybertron, you are saved" said Megatron. "At last"

Vanellope, Carrie, and Bethany sees Megatron and they began to walk to him.

"Oh, have you come to surrender?" said Megatron

"Was it all worth it?" said Carrie

"Obviously" Meagtron answered

"All your work to bring Sentinel back and now clearly he has all the power" said Vanellope. "It's actually almost tragic"

"You dare lecture me, glitch?" said Megatron

"Your Decepticons finally conquering this planet, and yet, their leader won't be you!" said Bethany

"It will be me!" said Meagtron. "It will always be me"

"In any minute now, you'll be nothing but Sentinel's bitch" said Vanellope

Megatron was about to attack the girls until he looked back and saw Sentinel.

Sentinel continued fighting with Optimus and Sentinel transformed into truck mode.


Kyle and Lawrence were still fighting.

"You chose sides?" said Lawrence before he stepped on Kyle's chest. "You chose wrong"


Optimus followed Sentinel and Sentinel transformed into robot mode and they began to fight again.

'Always- the bravest of us!" said Sentinel as he was hitting Optimus. "But you could never make the hard decisions! Our planet will survive!"

Sentinel grabs his big knife and tore off Optimus' right arm and Optimus fell on the ground.

"We were gods once. All of us" said Sentinel. "But here-there will only be one!"

As Sentinel was about to kill Optimus, Megatron came out of nowhere and shoots Sentinel.

"This is my planet!" said Megatron


Lawrence was looking up in the sky, watching Cybertron being teleported to Earth. He turns around and sees Kyle and next to Kyle was Sulley.

"I just saved a whole other world" said Lawrence. "You think you're both heroes, huh? You think you're both heroes?"

"No" Kyle said. "We're just messengers"

Kyle and Sulley pushed Lawrence onto the pillar and Lawrence was electrocuted and he fell.

The soldiers and Autobots run towards the pillar and Bumblebee knocked it off. The spacebridge was closed and Cybertron was destroyed as all of the Decepticon ship were rising in the sky and back to space.


"Now. We need a truce" said Megatron. "All I want is to be back in charge. Besides, who would you be without me, Prime?"

"Time to find out" said Optimus before he fights with Megatron.

Optimus and Megatron began fighting and when they were fighting, Optimus rips off Megatron's head.

"Optimus, all I ever wanted was the survival of our race" said Sentinel. "You must see why . . . I had to betray you"

"You didn't betray me" said Optimus. "You betrayed yourself'

Optimus shot Sentinel and Sentinel was now dead and the battle is over.

The rest of the Autobots and soldiers came by. Kyle and Sulley got out of the yellow Camaro and they see Vanellope and Carrie. The boys runs towards to two girls and the boys embraced their girlfriends. After they embraced, Kyle shared a kiss with Vanellope and Sulley shared a kiss with Carrie.

As they were kissing, Bumblebee started taking out Trojan condoms in front of them. They picked up and Kyle heard laughing. The laughing came from Tom, Jake, Art, Lee, Mike, and Kevin.

"You guys" Kyle replied. "It's not funny"

"It is to us" said Kevin, who's still laughing with the boys.

(Optimus Prime's POV)

In any war, there are calms between storms.

There will be days when we lose faith. Days when our allies turn against us. But the day will never come . . . that we forsake this planet . . . and its people.

(POV Off & Epilogue)

Simmons was on a roof, on his electronic wheelchair, with a bunch of people. He sees Mearing and he goes to her. Mearing falls on her lap and she and Simmons began to kiss for five seconds. Then, they broke the kiss.

"That's what I call the start of a beautiful future" said Simmons before Mearing got off.

Mearing started to chuckle and said. "Arrest him"

"It was worth it!" said Simmons as Mearing laughing happily. "I'd go to jail for love! I don't care! Go ahead, take me in! I want to go in! Let's go in. Come on, Charlotte, take me in right now!"
