The Enemy Is Among Us

chapter 2

Plinth 4th moon

Impactor was enraged. He knew they should've wrecked that Decepticon base ages ago, but Prime refused and now, Topspin is missing, just after Twin- Twist. But no, Prime wouldn't let him and the Wreckers attack: "Impactor, I understand you're upset but we can't be rash, the loss of the base may cause the Decepticons to attack and then our plan of attack will fall apart" Prime said, calmly. "I don't care Prime!!!! I want retribution! They probably know we're here already!" Impactor said, enraged. "No is no Impactor. We can't lose you guys, you're the best commandos we have" Prime said, a bit annoyed. Then the call ended. Impactor sprung up, seething, mumbling curses about Prime that are too vulgar to print here. He called up the rest of the Wreckers: Whirl, Springer, Roadbuster, Rack'n'Ruin, Sandstorm, Broadside and Leadfoot. "Alright team, urgent change of plans from me, we are going to attack that Decepticon outpost now!" Impactor spoke in a clipped voice. "But sir"- Springer said "But what! Two of our brothers are gone! Prime doesn't understand, are you too uptight to understand either" Impactor said in a mocking tone. Then they transformed and rolled out to the outpost.

The Decepticons never saw it coming. First Springer and Whirl shot down the guards, then the rest bulldozed through the gate and instantly transformed and started blasting them with cluster grenades, grenade launchers, rifles, shotguns, weapon attachments: and their most infamous weapon, the limbs, oh many Decepticon limbs were scattered in this rage fueled rampage. They went to the cells after taking out almost all the Decepticons and found an alien engineer and let him go after interrogating him. Impactor was most displeased. The engineers never saw two bots that looked like them anywhere in the prison section, and they already checked the interrogation chamber. They then stormed the main base, smashing all the cons, afterwards it looked like a bunch of metal pancakes were lying on the ground.

Unfortunately in their hasty invasion not everyone shot at died, the only one who was in a moving state was Treadshot-a targetmaster whose partner was thankfully asleep in the vents. He quickly shuffled his way to the communications room, despite the damage done by the wreckers, was able to make contact with the local base and leave the base on a ship after giving them the direction the wreckers came from.

Despite all of this, there is one bright light that came from this assault, you see, Sandstorm came from a planet called Paradon, a very peaceful and beautiful planet, but then it was bombed like Dresden(without people melting like ice cream and not so much fire) and Sandstorm vowed to kill the con who activated the strikes- and he is dead, killed by Sandstorm.

The Ark, approaching Plinth major

Optimus Prime is enraged. He let out a primal roar and punched a wall so hard it left a big mark(and its durasteel, a very strong metal). 'The stubborn pile of bolts!! Why couldn't he control himself and his anger just for once!" Prime fumed. Optimus, knowing that Impactor may disobey him, decided to have Blaster(a big time comms officer) monitor the outpost's communications and as such found out about the survivor's report. After a short nap in the stasis pod and going over a thought process of understanding others Alpha Trion taught him he went out to find out not only are the Wreckers under attack but that a small fleet of Decepticons came out to intercept them. He then took command and started barking out orders and then called up Impactor. "Prime, I'm terribly sorry about what happened! But we need some reinforcements! We need 3 men! The mayhems are here!!!"(Mayhems= mayhem attack squad, the archenemies of the Wreckers), "I forgive you Impactor but who is wounded, do we need to send a medic?", "no, it's just Sandstorm, something is wrong with him mentally but enough of that. We need some good muscle men down here" Impactor said. Optimus then made a call, "Autobots, we need three strong bots to help out the wreckers on the 4th moon of Plinth! Those who wish to join this squad come to Hangar 2. Command out".

Optimus was secretly pleased to see that not too many came. Only three stood in front of him, Perceptor(a scientist), holding a mp33 electro sniper rifle, sergeant Kup(old timer who could whip up Impactor into a average military bot), holding two fire blasters and Guzzle, a short sparkler bot who can eat more energon than Prime himself, holding a subsonic blaster and rocket gun. "All right team", he said, "I hope you three are ready, the Wreckers have experienced some misfortune as I'm sure you know.". They nodded. "Good. The Wreckers are locked into a fight with the Mayhem Attack Squad with three men absent". Then Guzzle asked: "How are we getting there? Aren't there a ton of Decepticon gunships out there?". Then Prime told them his plan: they will go to the moon on an escape pod and the coordinates will land them near to the base. They will have to walk 30 kilometers in front of the pod to reach the base and then save the Wreckers. They all agreed to this. After a harrowing plummet to Plinth 4 Kup stepped out while his compatriots fast walked behind a stone to puke. Kup took out his Earth souvenir, a pair of extendable binoculars(a blessing to his old eyes) and looked. What he was this: 7 Wreckers vs 9 mayhems, Bludgeon the metalikatto master, Carnivac the mayhems wildest bot, Venom a very paranoid insecticon, Chop-Shop who probably stole a spot, Battletrap who is a sadistic Duocon(blue and white with mouthplate), Flywheels: an insane, upbeat duocon coward (brown and red, duck footed), Stranglehold: crazy gladiator who is very scrappy and two unknown cybertronians firing from a rooftop. Kup then said "get up you weaklings! Guzzle, you and i are going to go in guns blazing and help the Wreckers using a surprise attack, while we're doing that, Perceptor, I want you to go up on a rooftop and try to stop these two 'hands Perceptor binoculars', got it?". "Yes Kup" Guzzle said while Perceptor gave a thumbs up. "Address as SGT Kup, Guzzle, I am your superior now by seniority! Got it!" Guzzle said, annoyed, "yes".

Guzzle didn't know what to feel in the moment, he was both ecstatic to be with his idols, but he also was scared of the Mayhems, yep, he was thinking that but don't tell anyone that. It was also so euphoric, he thought it was a dream, save the Wreckers from certain doom and become a member. He saw Impactor turn and smile, just before getting sucker punched by Carnivac, as Guzzle shot at them he saw Carnivac's eyes widen, unfortunately not because of him but of Kup, who just leaped at him and smacked him hard across the back of his head. As Kup and Carnivac got into a tussle, lasers firing everywhere, Guzzle decided to protect Impactor's unconscious body. As Chop-shop approached him wielding a shiny crystal sword Guzzle let off his Sparkler weapon, as the sparks came out Chop-shop shrieked in pain and retreated to the ship. The Guzzle had a great idea, why not use one of his sparks to wake Impactor? Picking up one of his sparks(Guzzle's special coating made it so that one of his sparks can't harm him) he put it on Impactor's chest. Immediately Impactor woke up with wide eyes with a bellow and brushed the spark off with quick efficiency. He said, "that hurt like heck and who are you?, wait you're one of those reinforcements, and why are you looking at me like that?". Guzzle was looking at Impactor with wide eyes full of shock and admiration, his hero just acknowledged him. Meanwhile perceptor snuck up onto a roof and was observing through the scope this: Bludgeon and Whirl fighting each other using blades and Metalikatto, Carnivac and Kup brawling it out, Springer and Broadside fighting Venom and Stranglehold,Battletrap and Flywheels alternate modes fighting Rack'n'Ruin while Guzzle and Impactor fire at them and those two other bots, on closer inspection they were Cybertronian but also had glimmers of some red dust on them and some offworld tech on them. One had a silver body and purple upper arms with black lower arms and hands with a yellow face and mouth plate and a knight visor suspiciously like Track's and the other was pink and purple with a blue face and mouth plate. He saw the both were trying to shoot down Whirl, who was fighting Bludgeon with Metallikato(cybertronian martial art form), and Perceptor then aimed for the silver bot's gun arm, hoping to disarm him and he succeeded, but then the other got up lightning quick and started firing some double barrelled submachine gun. He then was able to land a hit on Bludgeon, stunning him and allowing for him to stun the other two because they were shocked at his expert marksmanship. Then suddenly the silver bot jumped down with a flamethrower and tried to take out Whirl but then suddenly Sandstorm appeared from a building and jumped in front of Whirl and took the flames instead. Then Whirl took out his gun and shot the silver bot (he'll live) and the blue one transformed into a copter and took his friend away.
