The night was cool and calm . It would have been a perfect night too for all the autobots on Cycbertron. For this was the 20th anniversary since the destruction of Unincron. The 20th anniversary since, the making of Rodimus Prime. The 20th anniversary since Cycbertron went from being a Decepticon filled planet to a planet flourishing with autobots and allies.
But this night for all possible reasons would become a day longed remembered. By both decepticons and autobots alike.
"Of all the days I could be on guard duty my name gets pulled out of the computer randomizing system. Well I can still view the party on the security screens."
Breeze was a fairly new autobot that had just been created by the matrix. He was low ranking and one of the most bottomed out autobots of all. He enjoyed traveling all over Cybertron in his sleekish yet bulkish race car. Others usually always stayed out of his way since he had razor sharp spikes on the located inward of the headlights.
Breeze, almost in a complete daze, was alerted by the bleeping on the radar screen. He looked at the screen ad stood in disbelief. First there was one object, then five, then hundreds. They all registered in as decepticons on the screen. Breeze swiveled around in his chair to alert all the autobots of the danger.
Zin was inside the guard tower when the autobot became alert of what was coming. Zin thought that this was fairly easy, sneaking in to take out the one guard they post on duty every anniversary instead of the standard seven. He saw the autobot turn around in his chair and reaching for a button. Zin then dropped his cloak and raised his gun.
Breeze was stunned at first. Not believing that what see right in front of him was a decepticon with a gun pointed straight at him. Every thing that he should do he couldnt. He was frozen stiff by fear as he struggled to get a clear thought in his head as what to do. But the moments hesitation was costly.
The decepticon coldly fired his weapon, which shot straight through Breezes head. The acid corrosive fired from the outside of the barrel ate away at Wrecker. First the top of the head collapsed in while the rest of the acid melted its way down the dead autobots body.
Zin quickly made his way over to the control panel and turned off the radar detection device. He tapped the side of his head which revealed a long range communicator. "Leader, this Zin, you may now lower the blade. Repeat, you may now lower the blade."
On the other end of the communication the leader of the decepticons was quite pleased with how all this was going, but he remembered how that thinking always hurt him against the autobots. "Stop transmission Zin, join after we have started." He was not going to take any chances, with anything, to alert the autobots of their presence. Soon they would be worshiping the ground he walked on, for he is GALVATRON.
******************************
Rodimus Prime was watching from a balcony as Blaster and Jazz worked together to provide music everybody. Springer, Kup, and the Dinobots would have enjoyed this but they were on a mission, Rodimus thought. The autobots in front of him were laughing and telling old tales going centuries back.
Rodimus turned and faced a tall white and orange autobot. "Why arent you down there Yazzer?"
Yazzer looked at the crowd of autobots. "You should be asking yourself that question friend. Your Optimuss successor and have done real fine job of being our leader for the past twenty years. You deserve a break old friend."
"I suppose youre right Yazzer. But the Deceps have been hitting some of our smaller outposts faster and harder than they have in the past. I guess Im just a little worried that they found a new weapon or are making some kind of superweapon using our technology."
******************************
Cyclonus was upset that Galvatron ordered him to stay back with Brutitcus, Dirge, Frenzy, and Rumble stay back in an orbital position to guard against any atuobot backup that may arrive. Though that is very unlikely Galvatrons previous plans had been ruined when thought perfect. Cyclonus understood that Galvatron was not taking any chances but still he was a better fighter than most of the decepticons.
"Cyclonus, Windbeat reporting. Galvatron ordered that I join you to help guard the main attack"
"Very well, join the others in orbit over there."Just what I needed, the most pitiful of the decepticons helping. Even Spacecase is smarter than him. Oh well, provides me with another shield if any one shows up.
Flying right beside him, one of the oldest of the Decepticons, Soundwave ejected the rest of the cassettes he stored in him. Galvatron always wondered what Soundwave wanted. It wasnt as clear as when Starscreem made his point to rule the Decepticons and get rid of Megatron. Soundwave just obeyed orders if they made sense. Galvatron noticed Optimus City growing larger and changed his thought of mine to the subject at hand.
Once close enough Galvatron gave the order to attack.
******************************
Rodimus herd an explosion and saw the purple beam pass through the room. He'd recognize the beam anywhere. It was Galvaltron. "Autobots attack." They all drew their weapons out subspace at one exact time creating a small portal to limbo.
Twenty or thirty autobots were already dead with smoke and fluids pouring out through their wounds. Pointblank and Doublecross fired in unison trying to ward off the Decpeticon forces but fell as rockets and lasers crippled and killed them. Bumblebee, even with his small size had lost an arm was making his way to Rodimus. Yazzer was shooting eye beams, wrist lasers, plasma beams from his gun, and using his sword to tear down any Decepticon that came face to face with him. Rodimus had his trailer shooting on automatic so more Deceptocons would fall faster.
******************************
Galvatron kept firing as others Decepticons fell such as Beastbox, Spacecase, and Hooligan. They now outnumbered the Autobots three to one. "Devastor merge!" The five constructicons transformed and linked to each other to form one of the most powerful gestalts either side had. The green giant raised his cannon and shot at the largest concentration of Autobots.
******************************
Rodimus realized that there were only to real choices to make. One, save the autobots that were still alive and sacrifice himself or if reinforcements arrived in time, to fight the Decepticons. He knew the Arielbots and Protectobots were already en route to Cybertron and should arrive in an earth minute or so. Rodimus opted for the second option and ordered the Autobots to take cover but continuing fighting.
"Bumblebee, just in case this doesnt work, Ill have you, Yazzer, Jazz, and Blaze take the Klaxon. Take all the dead autobots from the Hall of The Dead on board the ship. I already have some techs down there that are a few hours away from bringing them back from the dead." Rodimus paused to duck as Devastator aimed his weapon at him and fired. Shrapnell flew all over puncturing Rodimus right knee cap and left optic sensor. "Go now. Travel to Ark City. When the dead are revived I want Ratchet in charge followed by Ironhide and Prowl. Have Sunstreaker, Hound, Sideswipe, and Grapple meet you there. Contact Kup and the others and tell them to go to Ark City."
Bumblebee couldnt believe what he was hearing. He couldnt believe that Rodimus might die. He had to make his complaint now. "Rodimus, why tell me to go if you could go and lead us after this?"
"Because, myself and the warriors here I can hold up against them just long enough for you to get to the Klaxon." Rodimus sensing his friends question wasnt anserwerd continued. "Plus the fact that you and the others together with the dead autobots that will be revived provide more experience than any other autobot here. Now go!!!"
Bumblebee opened his coy device and the three other autobots there to meet him at the Klaxon.
******************************
Devastor continued to fight even though a every concentration of fire had destroyed his left optic. Trypticon had just arrived and was providing cover along with Devastor for the decepticons to stay safe from fire but being able to still attack. A few had fallen to pulse-shock wave grenades from one of the two internal automatic devices. Others were slightly injured from the initial attack such as Soundwave who lost his shoulder cannon, right arm, and his cassette entry was damaged. But for the most part the decepticons were doing better than anyone would have thought.
Galvatron fired again at some autobots killing almost all of the group of five autobots he fired at. Almost half of the resistance was gone by now with surprising ease. But the dinobots werent here which made it a little eerie to him. The dinobots were one of the autobots best group of fighters. He decided that if they did appear Cyclonus and the others could hold them off.
A sudden jolt of energy hit his the outside area on the left leg (approximently where the calf would be located on a human). "Die autobot!!!" Galvatron without having to think swung around and shot the autobot that had put a hole through his leg. The green autobot fell with clanky sound that just meshed with the sound of other transformers dying and hitting the ground.
******************************
The Aierelbots and Proctectobots in the shuttle heading toward Cybertron saw the madness that was going on. "Arielbots, follow me and merge. We have to stop Devesator. Hot Spot, have you and your Protectobots form into Denfsor and give us some cover and try to take on Trypticon. Lets GO!" Silverbolt orderd. He knew there were probably few autobot survivers, but they had to protect the matrix in Rodimus. The Aierlbots jumped out the shuttle and joined together to form Superion. The Protectobots jumped and formed Defensor in the same manner.
