Decepticons! FOREWORD!

Jasper Nevada, Shattered Glass Universe

"MOVE MOVE MOVE!" Megatron yelled to his Decepticon forces as his team pushed against the Autobot attack.

"Commander Megatron, the civilian population has almost been evacuated. We need more time and our shuttles are under fire." Silas yelled into Megatron's comlink as the Decepticon commander heard plasma fire raining down on him.

"Understood Silas." The leader of the Decepticons rose from his cover before yelling out his orders. "Starscream, Soundwave, Laserbeak, Dreadwind, Silas needs air support at the evacuation center."

"Commander. My scans show Bulkhead and Wheeljack are approaching the evac zone. We may need ground support." Soundwave relayed to the commander before transforming and flying off with the others.

"Understood Soundwave. Breakdown…"

"I'll hold them off as long as I can Commander." Breakdown replied as he transformed and began driving to the Wreckers last known location.

"You will need backup, Knockout can assist."

"Commander Knockout is guarding the evac zone." Breakdown replied as he rammed into Bulkhead, causing the two of them to transform. Breakdown quickly ducked as Bulkhead's mace swung over his head and lodged itself into the building next to Breakdown. The Decepticon transformed his servos into his hammers and landed a blow on Bulkheads face.

"That. Was. A. BAD. MOVE!" Bulkhead screamed in rage as he transformed his other servo into a blaster and began shooting wildly and swinging his mace without care of who he hit.

Back at the main battle Megatron was pushed into cover as the onslaught of blasters firing at him were only allowing him to fire blindly.

"Shockwave, Predaking, Airachnid what's your location?" Megatron yelled into his comlink

"Commander, I am finishing the placement of M.E.C.H troops to fortify the east side of the city." Shockwave replied in his monotone voice as he fired his cannon at Ultra Magnus "Stand down Autobot." Shockwave ordered as he prepped his cannon again.

"I WILL NEVER STAND DOWN CON!" Ultra Magnus roared as he pulled out his Ion assault rifle and began to fire upon Shockwave. Shockwave transformed into his cybertronian tank form and fired at Ultra Magnus. The Autobot was blown back from the force of the blow and knocked to the ground

"Shockwave." The Decepticon focused on the M.E.C.H captain next to him. We can hold off Ultra Magnus, help Megatron." The captain yelled as he and his men opened fire on Ultra Magnus. Shockwave transformed and began running to Megatrons' location.

"En route to your location Commander." Shockwave yelled over his comlink.

"Excellent, now then where are PREDAKING AND AIRACHNID!" Megatron yelled back as he fired his cannon at the Autobots moving towards him. Just as they were webbed in place and an inferno of flames engulfed them.

"My apologies my king." Predaking began as he flew over with Airachnid on his back. "We just finished webbing up Wheeljack."

"Predaking may I remind you that you also set the bot aflame." Airachnid told Predaking as she opened fire on the group of Autobots below.

"Your tardiness will be overlooked this time, now then DECEPTICONS PUSH FORWARD AND PUSH THEM BACK!" Megatron yelled to Airachnid, Predaking and Shockwave as they approached the attacking Autobots. The fumes from overheated plasma scattered as the enemy became clear. Before the team of four stood. The titanic frame of the tyrant warlord Optimus Prime, next to him was his chief scientist Ratchet and his second in command Arcee, also providing fire support were the three attack dogs that the Prime had working with him. The bounty hunter Smokescreen, the Autobot assassin Stinger and Cliffjumper, the horned demon. Stinger began firing his hand cannons and Shockwave was forced to pull up his portable shield. Cliffjumper and Smokescreen jumped at Predaking and began stabbing him with energon daggers while Arcee started shooting at Airachnid and knocked her back. Ratchet ran towards Megatron and the Decepticon noticed his red optics turn a sickly green as the synthetic energon injectors on his back emptied into himself.

"LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!" Ratchet screamed as he lept at Megatron with his cyber scalpels extended… only to have Bulkhead collide into him in midair, Megatron turned towards the direction that Bulkhead came from to see a battered Breakdown come charging forward.

"Take the Prime boss, I got this." Breakdown yelled as he ran past.

Approaching Optimus, Megatron activated his comlink. "Silas how's the evac, I need my men up here."

"Just sent the last one off, Starscream is bringing the others back."

A roar over Megatron's head confirmed this as Starscream, Soundwave and Dreadwing returned to the battlefield, an engine roar brought the Decepticon medic Knockout to the battlefield as well.

"Whats our plan of attack sir?" Starscream asked.

"Knockout, assist Breakdown, target Ratchet." Knockout ran to aid his longtime friend. "Soundwave, deploy Laserbeak and have him fire from the sky."

"Yes Commander, Laserbeak deploy, operation: Guardian." Laserbeak shot off Soundwave's chest and took to the sky.

"Soundwave, get Smokescreen off Predakings back." Megatron ordered as Soundwave ran towards Predaking, his tendrils shocking Smokescreen off of Predaking

"Starscream, Dreadwing you're with me. We're going after Prime." Megatron growled as the three Decepticons ran towards Optimus Prime with their weapons ready. The Autobot tyrant seemed to be studying them and had not even lifted a finger to aid his troops. Dreadwing fired his cannon as the blast struck the Prime Starscream fired his wrist missiles and Megatron shot his cannon.

As the smoke cleared Optimus Prime didn't even have a scratch on his finish as he smirked at the three decepticons.

"Pathetic." was his only word as he pulled his chaingun off his back acd engaged his jetpack which shot him into the sky. Prime opened fire on the Decepticons with his chaingun, firing dark energon blasts into the Autobot and Decepticon ranks without care of who he hit causing Megatron, Starscream, and Dreadwing to dive for cover before they began to fire back. Optimus watched as the last Decepticon shuttle made its escape across the sky. "Not worth it, Autobots get your afts up and retreat."

"Sir, what about Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack?" Cliffjumper asked.

Prime replied by shooting Cliffjumper with a burst on his chaingun causing the Autobot to fly back as he screamed in pain from the new hole in him.

"AS I SAID…" Prime began before an extremely burnt Wheeljack and bullet filled Ultra Magnus entered the area.

"AUTOBOTS, FALL BACK NOW!" Optimus yelled as he flew off, Arcee threw Airachnid before transforming to her motorcycle mode and speeding away, Ratchet threw Knockout into Breakdown and sped away with Bulkhead, grabbing Cliffjumper as he did so. Stinger fired a sonic pulse at Shockwave to shut down his optic so he could escape. Smokescreen phased through Soundwave's tendrils to flee while Wheeljack jumps on Ultra Magnus's semi truck and shoots at the Decepticons as they drive away.

"Well, that could have gone better." Breakdown told himself.

"Breakdown."

"Yes Knockout."

"Your crushing me." Knockout told Breakdown.

"Sorry." the Decepticon hauls himself off of Knockout and pulls the medic to his feet. "Do we go after them Commander?" Breakout asks Megatron.

Megatron watches the Autobots fade in the distance before replying.

"No, we have too many wounded. Predaking, are you wounded badly." Megatron asks Predaking as the dragon shakes his head no.

"Alright, fly back to the Nemesis, your in command until we return. Soundwave, I need you to open a ground bridge to D.C. we need to debrief agent Fowler." The other Decepticons groaned upon hearing Fowler's name. Soundwave opened the ground bridge but instead of it being the normal black and red it was white and blue.

"Commander I would not recom.." Soundwave began but Megatron walked forward with the other Decepticons, shaking his head Soundwave had Laserbeak return to him and followed his comrades through.

Hanger E, Nevada, Prime Universe

"Optimus you're gonna want to see this!" Ratchet yelled to Optimus as he checked the scan again. And triple checked it for good measure.

"What is it Ratchet?" Came the baritone voice of Optimus Prime as he strode over to the terminal and gasped. The terminal showed the ruins of Jasper and several Decepticon signatures were coming from the wreckage of the city. "Why are the Decepticons back in Jasper?"

"I don't know." Ratchet replied, "They could be scavenging from Darkmount."

"Who's at Darkmount?"

Optimus turned to see the team's human companions standing behind them.

"Again, Who's at Darkmount?" Miko asked Optimus

"I can possibly ID them from the terminal based on CNA signatures." Raf told Optimus as he climbed up to the terminal and began running a scan.

"Rafael I have run every scan available from that terminal, what makes you think.."

"Got them." Raf called out. " You could have used a spy satellite.

"Nice work Raf, let's see who we have." Jack told Raf as the child prodigy maneuvered the camera above the signals.

"Okay live feed in three, two, one, and…" Shocked gasps came from all autobots and humans in the room as they watched the feed.
"Please tell me this is a joke." Jack told himself as he watched Airachnid wandering around Jasper.

"THIS MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL!" Ratchet yelled "Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Breakdown, Shockwave, Dreadwing, Knockout, and Airachnid? HALF OF THEM ARE DEAD!"

"Half of whom are dead?" Ultra Magnus asked as he entered the hanger and his optics widened in shock as he saw the screen. "All Autobots return to base we have confirmed Decepticons coming from the ruins of Jasper Nevada." Ultra Magnus informed the other Autobots through comlink

"Sending ground bridges to your locations." Ratchet informed the rest of the team. "Ground bridge activated." Ratchet said as the blue and white portal opened and the other Autobots pulled into the base.

"Time to smash some cons!" Bulkhead yelled as he fist bumped Wheeljack.

"Who are we up against?" Arcee asked Optimus before noticing the figures on the screen. "Airachnid? Wasn't she in stasis?" Arcee asked with a confused look on her face before noticing who was with her "Primus, how is this possible."

Aren't half these bots dead or exiled? Bumblebee asked with his clicks and beeps.

"What are we waiting for, open the ground bridge Ratchet." Smokescreen told the medic as he was jumping with his fists moving in a boxers motion.

"Opening ground bridge to Jasper Nevada now." the old medic told the Elite Guard rookie as the bridge opened.

"Autobots, transform and roll out." Optimus ordered and the Autobots drove through the ground bridge.

Jasper Nevada, Prime Universe

"Soundwave, why are we still in Jasper? I said D.C." Megatron looked at his technical officer as he said so. The Decepticons had arrived in Jasper several minutes ago and have been unable to contact Silas, M.E.C.H., Fowler, or the Nemesis.

"As I was trying to say Commander…. Ground bridge detected."

"How does that… wait, what now?" Megatron asked as a ground bridge opened up and a blue motorcycle came speeding out before transforming into Arcee and slamming a pede into Airachnid, knocking the two back. Three sports cars sped out shortly after, a blue and gold one that slammed into Knockout before transforming into Smokescreen. A black and yellow one that sideswiped Starscream before transforming into Bumblebee, and a white, red, and green car that launched itself at Dreadwing before transforming into Wheeljack and pulling out his swords. A green SUV followed before transforming into Bulkhead and ramming Breakdown with the force of a missile. A blue semi-truck speeds out of the ground bridge next before colliding itself with Shockwave and Soundwave before transforming into Ultra Magnus and pinning the two Decepticons beneath his pedes. Lastly a red and blue Military truck blasts through the ground bridge before colliding itself with Megatron and transforming into Optimus Prime. Prime pulled out his chaingun and pointed it to Megatron's head before saying.

"Stand down Megatron."

"Lord Optimus, I figured you and your team would lick your wounds before we fought again." Replied Megatron as he flipped into the air and landed on his pedes again. "Don't you see how you lost this battle already, M.E.C.H. aided in the evacuation, though I'm surprised you didn't try to shoot one of the shuttles out of the sky." Megatron readied his cannon and aimed it at Optimus.

Optimus was confused, M.E.C.H. would never aid the Decepticons, and Jasper was destroyed several months ago.

"Who are you?" Optimus asked Megatron, confusing his old enemy.

"Who am I? I am the savior of Iacon, the champion of Cybertron, the guardian of Earth, I'm…" Megatron never finished as Optimus used this moment to slam Megatron in the face with a servo, knocking out the warlord.

"Sir." Ultra Magnus asked with Shockwave and Soundwave squirming beneath him. "What do we do with them?"

"Put stasis cuffs on them and we take them back to Hangar E with us." Was Primes' response as he locked the warlord in stasis cuffs, the other Autobots followed his lead. "Ratchet open the ground bridge, we have prisoners."

The vortex of blue and white light formed and the Autobots walked through with their prizes in tow.
