Vol. 1 Ch. 23: One shall stand, one shall fall Part 1

(A/N: Hello everyone, usually I put this Author note thing if I feel like I need to explain something or announce another project I would work on but I just want to put in first to explain this, if a character had an introduction in a previous chapter, side story, or even spin-off they wouldn't get a second one, the introductions are based a little off of the introductions to the Borderlands serious with a quote at the bottom for a Transformer as to give a brief description of who they are along with it feeling more like a comic into too like in most comics, the reason why I am explaining this is that the subgroup the Constructions had made an introduction in my Side story Road to Dinobot island so give that a read as to not be confused. Also check out Wattpad Lance1889's new Transformers series, Transformers Brave which he asked me to help out and give it a read when you can. Until then enjoy the chapter.)

I don't own the series The Loud House or the Transformers or any car brands, make, and models in this story. The Loud House is created by Chris Savino for Nickelodeon, Hasbro owns Transformers, and all vehicles named or described are owned by their proper companies.

Last Time: The Autobots had welcomed the Loud family but they had learned the ordeals that Lincoln had dealt with without their knowing, Lincoln ended up leaving to calm his nerves but was kidnapped yet again by the Decepticons who were using him to ender a temple that none of them could enter for their sinister devices.

Peru, in the middle of a warm morning, everything seemed peaceful as everything was quiet. In the middle of a field an elderly lady with curly golden hair wearing a yellow long parka, was facing a painting canvas holding a brush and paint in her other hand. Carefully moving it as if she was painting but stopped when a bird flew up to her and landed on her shoulder. Her voice was sweet and kind, but the context of her words was something surprising. "Did that battle last night keep you away from your nest?"

The bird then flew off her shoulder before it landed on the burnt severed head of a Vehicon, one of the Decepticon soldiers, littered in a large field with her turned back to the canvas but looked over to see a giant crater. The elderly woman took her painting off the easel, placing it down on a platform. It was a hand, a pitch-black hand with the rest of the arm painted white with wires sticking out of it. The painting showed Optimus Prime and Megatron fighting, both hitting each other in the face with punches.

The Ark

"How could this happen? You said you'd keep our son safe!" Rita Loud shouts at the Autobot leader, after their return without Lincoln the Loud family was upset. Every member of the family was worried beyond any belief.

"We know, we apologize for failing to protect him soon after promising you we'd protect you all." Optimus wasn't lying, he felt so much shame and guilt for what had happened. "We will find your son and--"

"How?!" Rita shouted with tears coming out of her eyes. She was beyond upset; she was so worried that Lynn Sr. had to hold her to comfort her. "How are you going to get our son back?"

"Yeah, we don't even know where they are?!" Lori spoke out, this was true, none of them knew where he was.

"They're in Peru." Everyone turned to General Witwicky, he had a tablet in his hands that had a map of the world, it zoomed into South America with a red dot. "They are in the mountains of Peru; we also have satellite footage of the Decepticons in that area." He then handed the tablet into a port in the wall that sent the screen image to Teletraan-I so everyone could see it.

"Wait, how do you know he is in Peru?" Leni asked, everyone wanted to ask this.

"Oh well... you know... I have my way--"

"You put a tracking device on him?!" Ronnie Anne spoke out with Witwicky avoiding eye contact. "Son of a Glitch! You bugged him, didn't you? Wait, did you also bug us?"

"Well... okay fine I did!" Vincent admitted to them, surprising them all. "Let me explain, I want to point out that everyone in this very room, all humans, well except for Mari, have all been kidnapped at least once! Some of you all went to space!" The others couldn't argue.

"How?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"I managed to sneak into your clothing using robotic bugs, I would have used one that would have injected it into your bodies and make you think they were bug bites, but I thought that was too much," Witwicky explained before pulling out a phone and starting to call someone. "Alright, I'll call some people to send an evacuation order to anyone in that area, you guys get ready for a big fight, by the look of the images, they have almost all the Decepticons there."

"So, what is the plan, Optimus? Do we go in and sneak around to the others?" Arcee suggested Optimus who shook his head.

"No, we cannot find a way to get them out without dealing with Megatron and the other Decepticons..." Optimus stopped as he looked at the screen to see the satellite images, it showed dozens if not hundreds of Decepticon forces from seekers to Vehicons, to almost every foe they have.

"Well, what do we do, Optimus?" Jetfire spoke up as he walked over to Optimus Prime, he could see their leader thinking hard.

"I say we just get in there and blast 'em sticking cons!" Ironhide cracked his knuckles, not just him, but almost every other Autobot was ready for a fight, such as Cliffjumper, Blaster, Eject, Chromia, and even Wheeljack.

"We can't just go in there though, look at the sheer magnitude of their forces, there have to be mass complaints there and they could harm them," Jetfire explained to the others.

"We have no other choice, but they outnumber us, they might have ten times more of them than us." Wheeljack said giving his point across, almost everyone agreed.

"Wait a minute, some of the Junkions agreed to help out if needed. Some even joined our ranks, like Wreck-Gar." Blaster explains before everyone realizes something, they have more forces too.

"Right, we can call for backup, we almost forgot everything that has just happened. We have the Dinobots." Wheeljack said as he suggested to their newer friends who could help out.

"I can confirm they could be big." Arcee added to Wheeljack's statement.

"Don't forget the Wreckers, they're on earth now." Drift added to everything.

"Junkions? Dinobots? Wreckers?" What are they talking about?" Lisa asked Lincoln's friends as everyone turned to them.

"Yeah, there are more of them," Stella answered Lisa's question, only adding more.

"Then we have no choice, we must hurry... Megatron has gone too far, he has endangered humans countless times in secret and has resorted to kidnapping one, a young one at that. At times I dreamed of peace, for him to someday come to his senses and surrender, now I fear that day will never happen. Optimus said, surprising many of his forces, Ironhide spoke up.

"Are you saying what I think you're saying, Optimus?"

"Yes..." Optimus walked over to the terminal before starting to relay a message. "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost." Optimus then started an all-out call to the bases that they had given to their allies for safety. "Calling all Autobots!"

In the middle of the night at a large Junkyard, many of the Junkions were just minding their business, dancing like there was not tomorrow as they looked excited for whatever reason they had. Wreck-Gar was inside a makeshift shake made out of scrap and whatever they could find, sitting at a table with both Scrapheap and Junkheap at his side, a few more Junkions were playing what looked like poker, they were getting body parts, across from Wreck-gar was a Junkion that was only his head, holding his cards in his mouth.

Before anyone could speak, they heard something, he and the five other Junkions that still had their bodies looked to their chest, all having the Autobot symbol on their chest as theory had joined the Autobots as to be a part of Earth. Wreck-Gar got up and walked outside, running to the back of the house with the five other Junkions following him, the head then looking side to side before some jumped onto the pile of limbs. Wreck-Gar and the other Junkions made it to what looked like a terminal behind the shed, the screen showed the Autobot symbol with the message playing: "Calling all Autobots!"

On an island, Slash was inside what looked like a base with a large open door to allow the Dinobots to enter freely, she was looking onward as Grimlock and Slug were arguing, something about Cesium salami or Beryllium baloney that she found funny. Swoop was just flying in loops around Sludge who was doing nothing. She then heard something, looking behind her she saw a terminal that was on, she ran over to it to open a message being sent to them. "Calling all Autobots!"

Finally elsewhere, inside a base full of military personnel, deeper inside the base the Wreckers were setting things on base, moving what looked like supplies off of their ships that they parked into the base to avoid people seeing them, Whirl complained about this but Alpha Bravo told them to just deal with it as they weren't flying either ship. Rack'n'Ruin had a plan for a joke to take a ship and fly it over a farm or something. Impactor was informing both Ironfist and Kup about setting up stations for each of the Wreckers, the weapon expert thought about what they would do with their main ship, but Impactor said they would worry about it later. Roadbuster and Broadside were trying to not hit their heads when exiting and entering rooms, Roadbuster failed horribly. They then heard something, each of the Wreckers walked out of the room, finding the terminal on the wall with the message: "Calling all Autobots!"

"To all Autobots on Earth hearing this message, the Decepticons have yet again gone too far." Optimus Prime's voice was trying to stay calm as he always does, it was slightly breaking but kept going. "They have taken the human, Lincoln Loud, this is not the first time they have done this but also our allies of Bumblebee and Sundor too." As Optimus speaks, in the Junkyard the Junkions are getting ready, there were around ten readies for battle, but not all of them were meant for combat, Wreck-Gar was walking in front of a line facing him with Junkheap and Scrapheap staying close, their leader was addressing them like a general. He raised his pinwheel-like weapon in hand while the Junkions all raised theirs, all looking like junk appliances, except for one who had what looked like an oversized hair dryer before they dropped and pulled out a real weapon to hold.

"We know where they are, we don't know what they are doing, but we won't stand for this anymore for what they have done!" Optimus decreased as with the Dinobots they grouped together inside of their base given to them by the Autobots. Each of them was in their robot mode. "In this message is a detailed set of strategies for each of you to follow, I know your styles and methods of fighting." Each of the Dinobots started to arm themselves with either a sword that burned, a large club, or even a gun that looked more like a cannon held by Sludge. They all then turned to the terminal once more.

"Normally I'd ask to avoid large battles on this world, unlike for the Decepticons luck is on our side as they lack human life for miles, which means one thing, we can go full out without endangering the humans." Optimus' words echoed the large military base of the Wreckers, they heard every word the Autobot leader was saying, they took in every detail as they read the message, humans were on platforms off the ground as the Wreckers were looking at a fully functional ground bridge. "There will be many threats, we must be cautious when going into battle, so good luck, and do well out there." The last part of that message didn't faze the wreckers, they knew the cost of fighting and they were ready.

Back at the Ark the Autobots were all getting ready, they all had their personal weapons in hand, Jetfire even handing Ironhide a new multiple missile launcher that could change into a hammer, Chromia holding two blue buzzsaw-like objects that opened up to take the shape of throwing stars, and Cliffjumper getting something special. Each of them looked worried, not for their own safety but rather the human whose life was in danger for their affiliations with them. They all turned to their leader finishing his message. "Now must be ready, and remember, till all are one." Optimus then turned off the message and turned to the others who all looked to him for guidance. "Autobots, roll out!"

Back at Peru, inside the temple Lincoln was running deeper inside, it was like a set of twists and turns that almost never ended. Lincoln kept running and running, it was almost to no end with the feeling of the walls caving in. Lincoln then tripped on the ground and fell. He didn't get it, staying on the ground before finally screaming.

His scream echoed off the walls, but it wasn't from pain, it was all this. This felt like everything was too much for him, felt like he was everything was crushing him, the stress of his family pressuring him with the changes to his life, the Decepticons taking him hostage again this time with Bumblebee who was extremely hurt because he wanted to get fresh air, and now he is running around in an underground temple nearly blind from the dark with only a poorly lite light from his phone. He looked to his communicator, only for it to not work right. "THIS SUCKS!" Lincoln screamed, he didn't know if he should talk to you about the view or not, but he just wanted to let it all out. "Why do things keep getting worse? Why did the Decepticons have to do all this?! And for what? What is inside this stupid--" Lincoln stopped as he kicked a wall but stopped when he felt something off. "--temple... what the?" he then knocked on the wall, even though it had a stone appearance there was something metallic about the feel, it was like he knocked on metal. This was stone right? He then knocked on the ground too, it was a metallic feeling too. "What the heck is this? I thought this place was made of stone, why is it metallic?

"What is going on?" Lincoln kept on walking before he encountered a door. On the walls, he noticed several drawings of giant figures over humans, like titans protecting them. Lincoln then saw one carving, one that stood out as if it was the Autobot symbol. He tapped on the symbol before it suddenly went into the wall and the door opened. "Great, an easy to open door, which means something is up, guess this place wasn't made by people."

Lincoln walked inside before seeing the room had nothing metallic inside of it but rather had every part of the room made of metal all over the room. There was technology inside and all over the place, everything looked Cybertronian. "Holy, what made all this?"

Lincoln looked around, everything was meant for the giants or Transformers, he then noticed a large hole in the ground, and he got close to it where he saw a green glow. If he had a rock, he would have dropped it to see how deep it could be. Looking around he saw another door that was slightly opened so he walked towards it, entering the dark room that was barely lightened up, not by his phone but by a natural light source from the walls.

The room had what looked like coffins inside, three standing up, two in which had the Autobot symbols while one in the middle had a Decepticon symbol. The center of the room had something off about it, it looked as if it was made of stone, carved as a platform for a giant coffin. "What is this?" He noticed some steps that lead to it and walked up to the coffin to see it had a glass window in it. The glass looked fogged up with buttons and dials below it, there was Cybertronian writing on it. "What are you?"

Lincoln walked over to the glass and wiped his hand on it to reveal a Cybertronian with a white helmet and line visor over their optics and a blue-framed chest, their arms looked to be white as well, along with the Autobot symbol on their chest. "An Autobot?" Lincoln said surprised by this, who were they?

Lincoln looked at the panel just under the glass and looked at the Cybertronian language and pulled out a notebook that had a title written on it that said: "Cybertronian language, terms, slang, etc. guide! By Clyde and Jazz" Luckily his friend gave him these study guides they made themselves in case they ran into anything Cybertronian in origin. He flipped through the pages to look for language. He was reading the letters, and they were mostly just saying things that were stable or something like that.

Outside of the temple, the Decepticons were watching the area, making sure nothing could get past them. They had discovered this place not too long ago and learned little. Megatron stood still, watching the entrance as he expected Lincoln to return from inside, they were looking into this place as Shockwave had informed them that an energy source he was looking into before going into stasis lock before being discovered.

Other Decepticons were discussing what they were doing. Such as for Starscream, he and his seekers were somewhat bothered by the fact their time felt wasted, same could be said for both Skywarp and Slipstream, they just wanted to leave and wanted to be elsewhere. Thundercracker on the other hand was bothered by the fact they were using a human, he never admitted it, but he thought the humans should just stay out of the war, they were both weak and fragile, the opposite of them, of the transformers.

Knockout and Breakdown were just talking about what they were planning to do in their rather rare free time from doing anything Decepticon-related. They were even talking about some rather personal information between the two, all while Soundwave wished he didn't have the ability to hear nearly everything as he overheard them despite being dozens of feet away. The Mini-Cassettes were on guard as they watched the area with the vehicons.

Nickel was with both her forces, that being her personal three Predicons, Foxwire, Buzzsaw, and her newly joined Skold, the three in their beast modes using their beats senses, Skold was just trying her best to take everything seriously, another group was the Constructicons, a small group of six bots made up of the six Decepticons of Scrapper, Mix Master, Scavenger, Bonecrusher, Hook, and Long Haul who worked with her to look into another project of Shockwave that he sent them.

However, there was one more final Con among them that followed, a Vehicon super soldier that was powerful but dumb as bricks, Tankor. The Vehicon soldier, though it was hard to tell, was upset seeing their friend, Bumblebee, harmed gravely. A part of them wanted to get away from Nickel to help Bumblebee. "Tankor's friend I hurt..."

Shockwave was with his new squadron, after returning to the Nemesis, Cyclonus had been placed in charge of the Insecticons and requested Shockwave to help him as the three could prove useful to them, they knew he was going to threaten him to join so he did until he could think of a plan to stop Cyclonus. The Decepticon from the future held Sundor in his servos as he looked to Megatron and Bumblebee with worry.

Bumblebee was seriously injured from the damage from Megatron's fusion cannon, his back had a large black burn mark that was still smoking. He tries to get back up but the Decepticon leader steps on his back, adding more to his pain and damaged back. "Stay down Bumblebee." Megatron surprised the Autobot, for years he just addressed him and the others as Autobot, he always thought he never cared for their names.

"Didn't think you knew my name-- AGH!" Bumblebee was caught off guard as Megatron twisted his foot to add more pressure and pain. His wails of pain caught the eyes of some of the Decepticons who didn't show any concern.

"You think so little of me, I do know some Autobots by name, mainly yours, I never forgot what you tried to do near the beginning of the war."

"You remember that?" Bumblebee said in total shock, everyone has tried to take out Megatron, he thought he was just one of a long list of those who tried but failed, though he might be one of the few who got to live and learned from it, learned from it, not bragging about it. "In my defense, you did hold us hostage."

"Technically I just held a rally where everyone was held at gunpoint to listen. Telling them to pick a side, I tried to explain that I wanted peace, unfortunately for them all it was peace through tyranny. It was a fine speech, I knew it would make them fear me to not stand up to me but to either stay out of the way or join the Decepticons until a yellow bot stood up, you stood up and called me a blind tyrant who was greedy and after everything for myself."

"I'm surprised you remember those exact words; I can't remember everything I said but I remembered what I did... before you went crazy and killed Sentinel, you practiced your speeches to be heard out at MacAdam's Oil house... I heard some of them, and thought they were great before you shot up the senate building." Bumblebee's voice was rather full of malice at the Decepticon leader, everything he said was true, both of them, before the war reached a high point for everyone on the planet to start fighting or hiding, Megatron took a stadium hostage to give a speech. Deep down that day Bumblebee thought the announcement of what Megatron did of killing Sentinel Prime was just propaganda to make the council of Cybertron look good but learned it was true. "Before that day I thought you could be the hero of Cybertron... now you're just a tyrant."

"Yes... I am a tyrant, I also remember that day I walked up to you to try and explain myself but you tried to throw a punch, Soundwave grabbed you before you could and pushed you away, aimed a gun at you but you kicked it out of his hand and grabbed, fired six shots, four to my chest, one to my head with one missing. I fired my Fusion cannon at you, destroying your entire right arm. I was going to finish you off as an example, but Optimus Prime arrived and saved you." Megatron finally removed his foot. "Never understood why he saved you, but I do regret that day as everyone in that stadium later joined the Autobots, such as Wheeljack and that scientist, Perceptor I believe."

"You know, I actually never wanted to fight... I did look up to you before the war, the war you started!" Bumblebee said as a way to show he wasn't afraid to speak up, he looked at Megatron who didn't change his expression, a scowl as if it was a default look on them.

"Yes, I did start the war officially, but it wouldn't have if they had just listened that day and not tried to kill me after I spoke to them," Megatron exclaimed before seeing Sundor wake up looking sluggish. "Now then, what to do with you traitor?"

"What the heck is going-- MEGATRON!" Sundor said in utter surprise, he had no memory as to what was going on before waking up, he remembered being told to follow until he blacked out. Megatron walked up to them and had placed their hand over the Mini-Cassette head, intending to crush it but was holding back to make them suffer. Bumblebee tried to speak up, even trying to use his arm to use his stinger but Cyclonus threw an energy ax at them, nearly hitting their arm, intending to cut it off.

Megatron removed his hand to look at the Autobot whose head looked dented and had a painful look on his face. Cyclonus then tossed them over to Bumblebee who was minorly injured from Cyclonus who used their clawed fingers to stab into their body. Bumblebee asked if they were okay and if they could escape on their own, but Sundor explained in a low voice he couldn't due to him being injured and low on energy, most of his systems were solar power making it hard for him to fly at night.

Megatron looked to the wounded Autobots before turning back to the temple. Cyclonus stays close to them almost like a shadow or a demon on their shoulder. "Lord Megatron, perhaps you should rest, return to the Nemesis, and allow us to--"

"Cyclonus," Megatron interrupted them. "Could I ask you a question?" Megatron asked before turning his head to look over their shoulder, looking at the Decepticon. "Why do I believe you very often?" Megatron then turned around before looking at their supposed ally in their optics, looking directly into them as if they were looking into their soul if they had one. "Why is it that when you speak to me I listen to you, when we first met you said we should retreat when we could have overrun the Autobots, I never questioned that... neither did I when Lockdown came to this system, you connected them and they arrived quickly, too quickly as if they came in advance and then there was the Insecticons and I mean with Antagony who you offered that former Autobot! Shockwave, trust you? No, I know Shockwave and I can tell when he trusts someone and doesn't actually trust you in the slightest! You offer us aid and give us what we need when needed most but don't ask for rewards, claiming to be our ally, you wear our mark, but I feel as if you're not really one of us! Answer me Cyclonus! Why do I listen to you!"

All eyes and optics, every set, and some singulars were watching them, almost everyone stopped to see this exchange. Deep down they wanted to know this too, why is Megatron listening to Cyclonus? Cyclonus didn't say anything, nor did he move. He stood still like a statue, not changing anything from his expression as if he was nothing but stoic, he wasn't thinking about what to say but rather what to do. Megatron raised his fusion cannon, ready to fire and eliminate the Decepticon from the future, he and others lacked the knowledge that he was actually nigh immortal, nothing would work on him. He looked at Megatron before seeing his chest plate that even in the moonlight saw a small shine on it, from a sniper rifle. "Get down Lord Megatron!" Cyclonus said as he tackled Megatron to the ground as a shot from the sniper missed the Decepticon leader. Looking up, others immediately looked to see where the shot came from.

Preceptor was on a hilltop over the valley where the temple was located, he wasn't alone as Tracks, Jetfire, Blaster, his Mini-Cassettes of Rewind, Eject, Longhorn, and Steeljaw were with him as they looked over them all. "Blast, I missed, luckily that got their attention," Perceptor exclaimed as the Decepticons began to open fire, luckily Jetfire placed a shield generator on the ground giving them a force field that protected them. "Nice work Jetfire, not then, I honestly don't like violence but after what they have done, I now have the urge to shoot something."

Perceptor saw a few Decepticons flying toward them before aiming his sniper rifle and firing it once hitting one in the back of the flying group before it bounced off of their chest and hit one in the front of the group, bouncing again, going back and forth hitting one and bouncing onto another before hitting an eighth one, exploding. The others looked impressed, Eject, Rewind, and Steeljaw pulling out point cards with high scores with them being 9 or 8. Jetfire then stood forward with his mask covering his face then firing several missiles from his backpack, hitting at least a dozen of the Decepticons.

"Nice one Jetfire, um quick question, can this force field take a hit from Megatron's fusion can--" Blaster tried to ask about something important only for it to be answered by Megatron firing a blast from his fusion cannon, exploding on contact and damaging the shield and even knocked them back a few feet. "Never mind, my own question was answered."

Megatron was about to fire again but was hit by another rifle, this one from a different angle. Looking to the source of where the shot came, he saw Cliffjumper and the Minicon Jolt on another cliffside both with rifles as they fired at the Decepticons, getting a few of them as they tried to fire back. "Autobots! Destroy them and-- Huh?" Megatron tried to finish his order before hearing something, far off from where he was, he could hear rumbling. A section of the temple was blocked off by trees that fell down with the other Autobots making a charge, Optimus Prime in front ramming into multiple Decepticons.

His forces followed but were signaled to break away with Chromia, Ironhide who had Wedge in his truck bed, Hot Rod, and Jazz with Longarm inside of them turning to the left side. Arcee, Drift, Wheeljack, and Ratchet, inside of Drift, was Sparkplug who popped their head of the side window with an arm out and pistol in hand firing it while screaming "Drive by!" They then turned to the right as they fought several Decepticon forces. Megatron looked towards the Autobots and shouted to his Decepticons. "Destroy them all!" Megatron ordered as he marched forward towards the Autobots, leaving Bumblebee and Sundor by themselves.

On the Cliffside that Cliffjumper was on he cheered on as his friends were swiftly going into action, he turned to Jolt who nodded, they then turned back to a jet ski on a trailer bed, smirking as he was getting shot at.

Dozens of Decepticons were shooting at the cliffside that Cliffjumper was on endlessly before Cliffjumper jumped off the cliff with a large jetpack on his back and Jolt into his helicopter alt mode on his arm, his blades spinning with electricity. The jetpack started and allowed him to fly as he started to snipe at some Decepticons with a rifle and swung Jolt around flinging energy blades at others.

"This is the part where we enter the fight!" Jetfire shouts as he uses his own jet parts to soar into the air with Tracks following him. Blaster and Perceptor looked at each other and nodded as the scientist moved from their sniping nest to find a different place to snipe at while Blaster picked up Eject who turned into their Cassette alt mode and placed them in their tape deck in their chest before glowing blue energy and moved swiftly with Rewind riding on top of Steeljaw as the rest jumped into battle.

Jetfire was in the arms, firing a bombardment of missiles from his back that hit not just Vehicons but even Hardshells, they must have made more as heavy forces. Jetfire then released a beam saber that he used to swing as flying Vehicons and Hardshells before dodging a shot from below. He saw the main seekers of Skywarp and Thundercracker, as both Slipstream and Starscream were below.

Skywarp teleported to get behind Jetfire but didn't expect them to fire more missiles from his back that hit them, exploding on contact before they fell to the ground. Thundercracker tried to fire with his powerful arm weapons, but Jetfire flew towards them as fast as he could, flying past him and slashing with the beam saber. Thundercracker looked at himself and didn't see any damage but suddenly his wings fell off and made him fall.

Hot Rod, Jazz, Chromia, and Ironhide each dashed around before they separated, Hot Rod changing back into his robot mode to release flames from the pipes on his hands before pulling out his bow, pulling the energy string to fire arrows of flaming energy at anything close to him, Jazz had Longarm on their left arm, swinging their hook and cable as a flail, swinging it around to swat as Vehicons that got too close to him, he even used it to catch a flying Vehicon to get on top of it, grabbing on of the wings to make it fly towards another to make them crash before landing on another to guard it towards the ground to crash and him transforming to drive off. Ironhide changed back as well but he had his new launcher in his hands and fired a few shots, firing missiles that caused major damage, even changing it into a hammer to bash around at anyone, Wedge on his back taking two pistols that Ironhide usually used to fire while with him. Chromia used her shield to block attacks and use a pistol to shoot at a few Vehicons, switching her sidearm for one of her new throwing stars that she tossed it, it started to spin faster as it was in the air, cutting down more before she caught it in her hand.

Arcee, Drift, and Wheeljack were mostly with Ratchet to get them to Bumblebee, their part of their plan was for Arcee and Wheeljack to draw attention to themselves as Drift protects Ratchet. Arcee broke off first but wasn't too far off as Nightbird tried to sideswipe her by ramming into her, luckily, she changed back first to jump into the air before landing on top of her with two pistols aimed at her roof, but Nightbird made a hard break that flung Arcee off of her. Nightbird then transformed into her robot mode drawing a sword, Arcee then flicked one of her pistols that changed into the hilt with a sword released from it, charging in while firing her other pistol at the Decepticon she faced.

Wheeljack ended up firing something from his shoulder cannon, a small shell-like object that exploded into the air with the debris of sparks that sprinkled over some Vehicons that started to shake violently before they fell over. "Gyro-inhibitors always work," Wheeljack said with pride before he got hit by something, landing on his arm. He turned to see Shockwave with a smoking cannon arm. "Oh hey, I don't think we've ever met" Wheeljack acknowledges the fact that they never really did.

"Don't care." Shockwave then fired another blast at them, but Wheeljack raised his arm before a shield appeared to block the shot. "Your strategy seems illogical, a frontal assault? With forces we may not be as powerful but outnumber you all."

"Bold of you to assume this is our only strategy being just this." Wheeljack told Shockwave who looked confused before realizing this wasn't their entire plan; this was all a diversion.

They then noticed something far off from the battle, the sound of a horn playing what sounded like a military battle crying coming from it before a few Junkions exiting it, Wreck-Gar riding on a Motorcycle made from one of his own as Junkheap was riding on a new motorcycle Scrapheap followed by a tow truck and garbage truck. "They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!" Wreck-Gar shouts as they all keep charging into the fight, same with some of the others who shout out, it was mainly pop culture movie lines.

"There can be only one!"

"Yippee Ki Yi Motherfragger!"

"Witness me!"

"My name is Trashmaster!"

"Insert famous movie quote!"

"Junkions?" Shockwave was rather dumbfounded; he knew they were a subspecies that wasn't hard to knock down but keeping them down was rather harder. Shockwave thought there had to be more to this but then heard a roar, one he had heard before. "Oh no..."

Near some more trees in the jungle, a rumbling originating from the other side of the jungle before Grimlock, Slug, Sludge, Snarl, Swoop, and Slash rush out. Grimlock biting down on a Vehicons head before tossing it away as it was on fire. Grimlock then noticed Shockwave and released a roar with all their might as they charged at them. "Good luck with Grimlock! Wheeljack Transform!" Wheeljack then changed into his alt mode and drove away as Grimlock charged at Shockwave who fired a few shots but was too late with Grimlock biting down on his arm before filing them around.

Swoop flew down and swooped down, crashing into Shockwave's back, holding their talons into their back, cutting deep into their back. The Constructicons watched and considered helping, they didn't really like Shockwave, but they still needed them, but couldn't as Slug have charged in and crashed into three of them while Sludge, Snarl, and Slash dealt with the last three.

Wheeljack managed to get some distance, passing a Vehicon that saw him driving by it aimed a rifle at him but was taken down by a sniper shot. Up on a hill, Preceptor was hidden in the shadows, never missing a shot, sometimes even hitting two or more with either headshots or trick shots. He was mainly guarding his allies but also his main objective, covering Ratchet while Drift was guarding them to Bumblebee and Sundor. He looked into his arm, where a slot opened up showing a clock before seeing the time. "Time for one last party crasher." Perceptor then pressed his fingers against the comms in his helmet delivering one word. "Now."

In the air a ground bridge had opened up, it had to be 50 meters up, what came out was eight Bots, the Wreckers, Impactor, Kup, Rack'n'Ruin, Whirl, Roadbuster, Ironfist, Alpha Bravo, and Broadside falling into the battle armed to the metal teeth they had. Impactor shouts out at the top of the volume they could make. "Wreck 'N' Rule!"

Each of them had their own way of landing as Impactor, Kup, Ironfist, and Rack'n'Ruin had some sort of pack on their backs, they weren't like jetpacks but rather something that gave them a way of landing without worry. Broadside, Whirl, and Alpha Bravo were natural fliers, so it wasn't an issue. As for Roadbuster, he noticed a Hardshell that was flying and controlled his movement and trajectory towards the mutated Decepticon, crashing into it and using it to soften his fall, crushing the Vehicon before getting up, facing five Vehicons that had their backs to him.

One of the vehicons turned around to see him, he waved his left hand before raising his right arm with a heavy-looking chain gun, pulling the trigger to mow the fire down in a second. "Haha! Like shooting Cyberducks in a barrel!" He then noticed several Decepticon troops starting to surround them, he grabbed a large pistol before aiming both weapons in opposite directions, his sides then spinning around as he pulled the triggers to start gunning down anything near him. "I'm like a fat ballerina, who takes scalps and slits throats!" He announced nearly proudly, it was rather sickly.

The other Wreckers landed rather hard, Ironfist landing right beside Roadbuster, crouched down before aiming his weapon, shooting a few Decepticons, Roadbuster noticed them, and as they gut up, they tossed their torrent weapon that started to shoot on its own, he would duck down when Roadbuster kept spinning. "You have too much fun on a battlefield!" Ironfist shouts as the firing going off would have muffled his words if he spoke at a normal volume.

"What? Can't hear you, I'm having too much fun on this battlefield!" Roadbuster yells out louder. Ironfist just rolled their optics before firing some more.

Rack'n'Ruin were about to hit the ground, a chainsaw popping out of their leg that sawed a Vehicon in half down the middle. Both their hands released a weapon, like a hammer they flung around like a flail and a mace. "Alright, you get the ones on the left, I got the ones on the right! "Rack said to his brother before they talked back. "I thought we were working together on this one?" Ruin responded, making Rack realize he had a point. "Alright."

"You two need to stop arguing!" Broadside said as he landed beside the twin Wreckers, shooting a Deception down before landing and pulling out an ax that he swung down finishing the foe off. When a Decepticon tackled him, lunging onto his back trying to hold them in a headlock only for Broadside to fall backward, squashing them like a bug with his natural weight.

Hot Rod was moving around quickly, he was about to fire another arrow but stopped when Impactor landed on them, stabbing them with his harpoon. Kup landed next to them as they opened fire, shooting near Hot Rod, missing them, and hitting another Decepticon. "Whoa! Nice shot old man!" Hot Rod said impressed.

"What did I tell you about keeping your head in the game, you want to get as old as I am or get mowed down from a stray shot?!" Kup replied as he fired another shot in the sky hitting a flying Vehicon. "Boy, these guys go down rather easily."

"They are mass-produced and made of cheap materials!" Hot Rod then noticed Impactor was running off from them and entering further into the utter chaos of this battlefield. "Impactor, where are you--" Hot Rod was about to chase after them but was stopped by a few stray rounds, nearly hitting them. Kup pulled them back and fired a shot at the source of the origin of the fire.

"Careful kid, relax about Impactor, he knows what he is doing, he is a Wrecker after all--"

"Is he running towards Megatron?"

Kup looked and saw in the chaos, Megatron as they were marching towards where Optimus was driving around to ram into other Decepticons. Impactor was running with a face of fury. "Aw frag, Impactor you idiot."

Impactor was running towards Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons aimed their fusion cannon at Optimus, charging a shot. Before firing, he raised his other arm to catch a harpoon, nearly hitting them in the face, turning his head to see the leader of the Wreckers. "Impactor, I see you have a new hand." Megatron's voice sounded somewhat annoyed but still had to greet it somehow. He then pulled the harpoon with it still attached to him, pulling them towards them but Impactor used this to leap towards Megatron.

"Don't talk to me like this!" Impactor said with anger towards the Decepticon leader. "I'm not one of your fellow Decepticons, you Bootleg!" Impactor threw a punch at Megatron's face, he then pulled out what looked like a double barrel gun to aim at Megatron's chest, but before he could pull the trigger, Megatron swatted the gun out of their hand, the punch didn't faze them.

"I'm the Bootleg! You were thought to be dead only to join the Autobots! You went from someone from my inner circle--" Megatron then threw his own punch, landing it on Impactor's face, metal shrapnel shards launching out of his mouth. "--To a large throne-- No, I spike at my side!" He then swatted a morning star flail made of purple energy from his hand, flinging it around across their face again then up and down, knocking them around.

"MEGATRON!" The Decepticon leader looked back to see Roadbuster charging them. "I'm going to rip out your spine and make you eat it--" Roadbuster tried to threaten Megatron only to take a full blast from the fusion cannon, hitting them in their chest, knocking them not only back but sending them flying a few feet away. "AGH!" He shouts in pain before falling on his side. Megatron then turned around to see Ironfist trying to pull Impactor away as they were down only to look panicked at the fact that Megatron was staring them down.

"Oh scrap!" Ironfist said as he tried to drag Impactor faster, but they were too heavy. He then tried to use his friend's shoulder cannon but couldn't find a way to fire it. Megatron aimed his weapon towards them, but a wire was wrapped around his arm and forcefully pulled making them miss their shot, hitting a different Decepticon, he saw Jazz rushing towards them, launching forward and landing a punch on their face causing damage.

Jazz then started to wrap around them, using Longarm's wire to tie them up, they turned to Ironfist to tell them to run. That was a mistake as Megatron broke free and grabbed Jazz by his throat, lifting them in the air followed by slamming them to the ground. "AH!" Jazz screamed in pain before using Longarm's wire to reach out to grab his weapon and fire a few shots at Megatron. "You want a piece Megatron!"

"No!" Megatron shouts before grabbing Jazz's arm, starting to pull it with force before ripping his arm off with a blue liquid, Energon already pressed in his body like blood spurting out. "I'll take two pieces." As Jazz screamed in pain, Megatron kicked them away.

"JAZZ!" Longarm screamed before removing himself from the severed arm still in Megatron's hand, they swatted it away before seeing Longarm checking up on Jazz.

"Such heroic nonsense." Megatron tried to aim his fusion cannon at the two, ready to finish them off with a full-force blast but stopped as they turned their head to see Optimus Prime, driving towards him. Megatron turned his weapon at the incoming Autobot, firing a few shots, but Optimus used a launching system to launch himself into the aim, dodging the shots. Optimus then grabbed Over-Run who changed into his weapon alt mode, Optimus fired a few shots hitting different Decepticons even Soundwave who was running towards Megatron to protect them. Optimus then landed, standing between Megatron and the two Autobots, signaling Jazz to get away before they nodded, picking up Longarm and attaching them to their other arm. While running away. "Prime!" Megatron shouts with turmoil in their voice but a hint of nostalgia. He would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy his fights with the Prime, especially one-on-one fights between them.

"Megatron, this day you will answer for your crimes against both Cybertron and now humanity! One shall stand, one shall fall!" Optimus announced to Megatron, issuing a challenge for the Decepticon leader.

"Why throw away your life so recklessly?"

"That is a question you should ask yourself!" Optimus shouts as he tosses Over-Run into the air, he wants to face Megatron alone, so he flies off to aid another Autobot in the battle. Both Optimus and Megatron ran towards each other before they both threw a fist, landing a blow on both other's faces.

Back inside the temple, Lincoln was still over the strange pod, he looked at the panel he was stepping on and the paper that had a detailed drawing of the pod he had with a pen he kept in the journal. Looking it over and translating what was on it as best he could. He stepped on the buttons since they were rather large and luckily this worked, too badly he had no idea what he was doing in the first place. "Okay, maybe I should rely on my last resort."

Lincoln then just started hitting buttons rapidly, turning dials, anything. "Come on! Come on! Open! I need your help! "If you're an Autobot maybe you can help--" Lincoln then stopped as he felt the pod below him raise slightly, the jump gave him a fright for a moment before the pod started to move on its own. "Yes!" Lincoln announced in triumph. "Okay buddy, let's see who you-- WHOA!" The pod door then slid to the side of the pod but once it was far enough the pod's door started to fall on its weight, almost falling over.

The transformer in the pod started to rise and sit straight up, Lincoln's communicator then started to act up before suddenly projecting a hologram of different vehicles with a frame and interior, such as a motorcycle that the Autobot scanned by the hologram turned red before changing to a jet with the same result, then to other vehicles from a tank, van, armored car, helicopter, then one last vehicle, a car that looked to be a firebird. Their bodies started to change with less curved edges, wheels on his shoulders and ankles, his optics glow brought as a flashlight before they rose up and stood up, they tried to step forward only to trip on the side of the pod. "OH SCRAP!" Was what they said before falling face first on the ground.

Lincoln hung on the door of the pod, looking at the Autobot who slipped, then turned his gaze to the side before looking back to ask them a question. "Um, hey... you alright?" Lincoln asked.

"Just my pride breaking and-- wait a minute..." The Autobot got up and turned around to see Lincoln who slid off the pod door to stand up and walk over to them. "Who are you, are you one of the locals of this planet?"

"Yeah, I'm Lincoln by the way. Were you asleep?"

"Stasis lock actually, I was low on Energon, and my Stasis pod had some inside to feed me Energon while I was out, I couldn't find much in this area, I only had a few Deca-Cycles worth. The locals were nice enough to keep it safe and out of the elements of the planet." The Autobot explained.

"The people in the past must have thought you were a deity or something." Lincoln thought before looking at the coffins in the back of the room. "What are those? They look like coffins."

"Coffins?" The Autobot was confused before seeing them. "Huh? I have never seen those before, they must have moved them here after I started to stasis sleep." They then noticed Lincoln's back, seeing the Autobot symbol on their back. "Hey, are you an Autobot?"

"Huh? Oh, not officially, I'm more of an associate of them. I do know them, like Optimus and Bumblebee."

"They're still on this planet? Are they alright? Can you contact them?" They asked, their voices were a little panic, but they tried to stay calm.

"Yeah, I do but I can't because my communicator isn't working right." Lincoln showed them their device, they gently removed it from Lincoln's arm to look at it. "Do you know what the issue is?"

"It could be that the signal is weak. I could do this..." He then removed something from the side of his helmet, mixing both it and the communicator together before suddenly hearing static from it. "Aha! I knew I learned something from Grapple and Hoist's lectures from Cybertron, and they thought I was not paying attention... I mostly was." The Autobot then looked around and had to ask. "So, what is this place?"

"This is a temple in Peru, the Decepticons are outside, they said there was a strange energy inside and--"

"The Decepticons are here?" The Autobot shouted in total surprise, they knew they were changing them, but they were still on this planet.

"Yeah, and they have Bumblebee and Sundor as hostages," Lincoln explained before hearing something, he looked to the large room he was in earlier and walked out with the Autobot, hearing what sounded like gunfire and explosives. "Scrap, are they fighting?"

The Autobot then moved the device he made close to his head hearing something, talking, he then started to try and call someone. "Hello! Can anyone hear this frequency? Call sign T-61. Hello! Blast it! The signal is weak due to insufficient power, it needs a small boost."

"What about down here?" Lincoln said before pointing down into the hole. The Autobot then looked down, seeing the green glow from it, pressing his fingers to the side of his head his visor optics gleamed brightly before seeing a wave of energy. "Well?"

"Yeah, the energy down there might work out." He then handed the device to Lincoln before running back to his stasis pod in the other room, ripping into it to pull out some wires or tubes, Lincoln could not tell, he then returned to the hole, starting to lower himself into it, having his hands out holding onto the metallic ground. "Good, the metal is magnetic, I can stick on them with my magnets in my hands to hang on and lower myself down there. It isn't harmful energy so I can take you down with me, do you want to?"

"Yes, we can call for help if we get this thing energy right?" The Autobot nodded his head. "Then let's roll out!... I know we aren't, but I wanted to say that." Lincoln then walked over to the Autobot and hung onto their shoulder as they lowered themself down, placing a hand on the wall to magnetically stick to it, holding them then moving their other hand lower to do the same, reaching lower into the pit. Something then came to Lincoln's mind. "By the way, I never got your name."

"Oh right, sorry Lincoln, my name is Tailgate." Said the Autobot named Tailgate.

Tailgate

-Autobot

-Pontiac Firebird

-Always willing to do the right thing and help

They continued to lower themself further, the glow coming closer to the energy they needed. They reached low enough before they ended up in a large room, some pillars were by the hole as support to the room, and they then grabbed onto one before sliding down to the floor. The light came from a large glowing green rock, a gem of sorts in the shape of a sphere with metal wrapped around it like a net or ball with holes.

Several tubes and wires around it, digging into it. Some seemed to be either lost or missing something. The walls of the room had some parts, pistons, gears, and so much more, this temple felt more like a machine. Tailgate looked around and felt something was off, he felt like this wasn't normal.

"What is all this?" Lincoln asked as he looked at the giant rock that was around the size of Optimus. He then squinted his eyes before seeing something was off with the rock, he could have sworn he saw something inside the gem, or someone, a silhouette of a figure of a human. "Tailgate, look at the rock, can you see that?"

"Hmm?" Tailgate looked forward and only saw the glowing green rock with nothing in it. "What do you mean?"

Lincoln then jumped off Tailgate's shoulder before running to the rock. It was bright, it wasn't blinding, there wasn't anything, not even heat. "What is this thing anyway?" Lincoln looked into the rock; the figure was in front of him inside the gem. The figure then suddenly had two orange dots where their eyes were meant to be before suddenly a beam came from the gem, hitting Lincoln's head. He released a scream as he was startled but he felt nothing, no pain or shock; it was more of a scream out of the surprise of what was happening. Energy surrounds him.

"LINCOLN!" Tailgate said as he rushed over but couldn't touch him as the energy was pushing him away. "Lincoln, are you okay?!"

"What is happening?!" Lincoln then looked at the figure again, he could then see images appear behind them, beings that stood high, almost like titans as they stood over mountains. Beasts he could only imagine, things from fantasy, all made of metal, some looked to be prehistoric beasts. He then saw one last thing, a titan in the sky, with a face of sorrow. "Awakener, I am..." The voice spoke out before it stopped as the energy stopped, Lincoln looked confused. "Did... did we have a conversation?"

"Hey, Lincoln, are you okay?"

"Huh, yeah, I think so... what is all this... And what was that?"

"What was what? That thing just surrounded you with energy and you floated in the air." Tailgate explained with Lincoln looking confused.

Lincoln was lost for words, what did he see and hear, was he going insane? Lincoln just stood up and brushed himself from the dirt and anything on him. "Alright, Tailgate, what do you need to do?"

"I just need to connect these wires and..." Tailgate walked over to the gem, he connected the wire he ripped out of his pod, it wasn't simple, but he could hear something. "Okay, the power may have boosted the signal's reach. I just need to--"

"Awaken me..." Said a voice from the device, it spooked the two for a second as the voice was deep and metallic.

"What the frag-- whatever, it doesn't matter." Tailgate ignored the message and continued before messing with the device. "Just hope they still use the same frequency and... YES!" Tailgate managed to get a signal from the outside, a far one too. "Okay, if any luck this should call the Ark and we should contact someone--"

"Hello, this is the Ark." Both Lincoln and Tailgate looked at each other, if Tailgate had a mouth, it'd be a wide smile. The voice was that of Beachcomber. "Hello? Why am I answering this call again?"

"Beachcomber, is that you old friend?" Tailgate said over the call.

"Tailgate? Is that you? Everyone thought you were dead."

"No, I just fell out of the ship, met some nice people who thought I was a deity or something, and went into Stasis until I think a few moments ago. I met this guy named Lincoln--"

"Lincoln? Lincoln Loud, hang on. "Hey, they have Lincoln--" Beachcomber said before a set of voices spoke up.

"LINCOLN!" The voices were many, it was a mix of his family and friends. All of them asked questions. such as if he was alright? Was he safe? Where was he?

"Guys, calm down. I'm... well it is complicated." Lincoln answered that he knew he wasn't right.

"Lincoln, are you alright though?" Rita asked over the call, her voice was full of worry.

"I think I am alright you guys, listen, I'm sorry so sorry for worrying you all, I shouldn't have left! I just needed air and-- I... sigh... I am a little terrified, I don't know where we are but--"

"Lincoln, don't worry, Optimus Prime said he and the other Autobots are where you are to save you and Bumblebee. Please tell me you're alright." Rita asked her son.

"I don't know, I don't even know where or what this place is."

"I have an idea, Beachcomber, you still have that mapping ability of yours?" Tailgate asked Beachcomber to answer. Lincoln looked confused, and the Autobot noticed this. "This is just a theory, but this gem in front of us looks almost like a spark chamber, the component or organ that holds our sparks and this temple is made of metal, while I was with the people a long time ago they had only simple tools made of stone, so there is no way they made this temple. I know Beachcomber could make a map by using sound, it could even work via radio."

"He is right, I can do a quick scan and-- oh... holy Primus." Beachcomber sounded surprised, his voice showed great worry.

"Beachcomber, what's wrong?" Tailgate asked, he sounded greatly concerned.

"Guys... you're... you guys are in a titan." Beachcomber explained Tailgate looked at the gem, no, the spark of a titan.

"What the slag is a titan?" Lincoln asked, confused.
