Transformers Prime: Maximal Revolution

Chapter 5

Quickly thinking Wheeljack drove his knees into the fox Predacon's stomach plates and rolled knocking the fox out of the blast path. It was so startled it loosen it's tails grip allowing the Wrecker to jump free as he turned to face the Vehicons that had ambushed them. The Wrecker retrieved his swords he had dropped during his struggle with the Predacon and charged into the group. This is more like it, he thought as he took down three of the Decepticons. One fired at him from behind and he turned to attack. . . when something big slammed into the back of his helm.

The world spun as Wheeljack went down, hard. One of the Vehicons had used a tree trunk to hit him from behind.

Before he could try and get back up a Vehicon pointed a blaster at his helm and sneered, "So long Autobo-AGH!" A yellow and purple blur rammed into the Vehicon and he scream in pain as powerful jaws and sharp teeth ripped into his armor.

A little stunned Wheeljack saw two Vehicons moving to attack his unlikely ally. Jumping to his feet he tackled them, "Don't forget about me!"

Wheeljack and the Predacon were soon fighting side-by-side. Another Vehicon tried to shoot the fox but it grabbed the him with it's tails and threw him into another with ease. The fight seemed to be going their way but more Vehicons arrived and one got a lucky shot striking Wheeljack in the knee and the Wrecker fell with a curse.

The fox Predacon hearing him ran to stand by the Wrecker and spread it's tails out to shield them from the shots.

Trying to ignore the pain Wheeljack looked around the unusual shield to see where the Vehicons were. He placed a foot on the fox's back, "Sorry about this." Then used the fox to jump over and landed on top of one of the startled Vehicons. Before they got over their surprise he took several others down with the fox rejoining the fight. With the fight not going their way the rest of the Vehicons fled leaving the two. Now alone again they regarded each other for a long moment. "Uh. . . thanks," Wheeljack finally said. The fox snorted at him and took off into the trees. "Fine! But I want a rematch," he shouted after it.

Bumblebee, Smokescreen and the cat Predacon stood by the cliff face as they faced the Vehicons who had their blasters pointed at them. The cat was snarling while Bee tried to think of a way out of this. It wasn't looking good when suddenly an angry kaw very much like a crows sounded overhead. Everyone looked up to see the red and gold Predacon bird diving down, before it reached it's target it. . . transformed, but not into a robot. It transformed into the canine Bee had also been pursuing. The Yellow Autobot would of groned if he could, of course. The canine ad bird had been the same color, how had he not noticed.

The canine tackled one of the Vehicons ripping into it's armor. As that happened the cat's growls intensified and the two Autobot's turned to see it's teeth extending till it looked like a saber-tooth. It then lunged at another Vehicon before he could fire. The other Vehicons prepared to fire at the Predacons when Bumblebee and Smokescreen joined the fight lunging at them.

"Don't forget us!" Smokescreen yelled as he delivered a powerful uppercut. The Autobot's and Predacons were quickly able to turn the tide and the remaining Vehicons retreated. "That's right! You'd better run!" Smokescreen shouted after them. The canine barked after them.

Now that the common enemy was gone the two groups turned to each other, Bee tried to talk to them but the two Predacons turned and ran. Before they could be stopped the canine jumped into the air transforming into it's bird mode while the cat spread it's wings and jumped into the air following.

The Autbots could only watched them fly away, after an awkward moment of silence Smokescreen broke it, "So. . . who gets to tell Ratchet?"

:Bulkhead. . . Bulkhead. . . Bulkhead. . . BULKHEAD!:
