Nightmares and Monsters

Part 12

Previously in Chapter 11:

I was shocked out of my skin slightly when I heard Lennox yell out behind me to everyone else, "Move out! Let's go!" I watched as the rest of the squad headed off to help where they could in the assault vehicles, whilst Mikaela was searching now for something - I'm guessing she was trying to figure out a way to get Bumblebee to a safe area, due to his leg injuries. I watched as I stood there when Mikaela ran towards an abandoned tow truck, breaking the window and getting the door open before hot-wiring the vehicle and driving it back over to where I stood near to Bumblebee and Sam. Turning to check on them, I watched with a sad smile on my face when Bumblebee handed Sam the Cube that he had dropped during the explosion and decided to hand on over to be kept safe by his friend.

As I turned around slowly to see what everyone else was doing, I could tell that things were about to get rather dangerous - well more than they were now at any rate - and that we may lose some friends to this battle, along with a whole mess of civilians. I was not looking forward to what was going to happen next, since my senses were telling me that something big and evil was going to arrive and no-one was going to safe from his wrath.

Now on to chapter 12:

"Bold Type" = Yelling/Shouting/Radio Communictaion

"Bold Italic Type" = Anubis texting conversation

'Italic Type' = Thoughts

Cali's POV:

I watched as the Pick-up now robot with huge ass cannons on his arms headed towards the tank that was shooting at us. I watched in awe as he jumped over two incoming shells and proceeded to use his own cannons to help him flip over a pedestrian who just screamed as he sailed above her and landed in a shoulder roll on the other side of her.

I prayed hard to any deity that was listening when I saw Jazz driving towards the same tank. I watched as, as he got closer he transformed into his own robot mode and proceeded to jump up and land on top of the tank. I then smirked when I heard him say, "Come on, Decepticon Punk!" before pulling up on the cannon, causing the shot it fired to go wide of it's mark - namely me and the rest of the small group.

It was almost like watching a car wreck in progress - ya just can't not look. I watched as the tank then transformed into a much heavier built robot, and watched whilst mentally cheering for Jazz as he kicked the weapons from the Tank robots shoulder. I gasped in shock when the tank robot then grabbed Jazz by the leg and proceeded to throw him into one of the nearby buildings, I sighed once Jazz got back up shaking his head to obviously clear out any dizziness the hit had caused.

By now the black Pick-up truck-turned-robot was firing at the tank robot whilst, and I even had to drop my jaw in awe, pulled off a Double Helix Twist in the air. By now Jazz was back in the fight and the Emergency Hummer - I assumed to be Ratchet - were now also shooting at the tank robot. I cheered out loud when the Hummer - Ratchet - used a bi-directional circular saw blade to remove one of the tank robots limbs.

I jumped slightly when I heard Lennox yell out, "Concentrate your fire!" This got me back into the thick of things as I set up my Rifle and aimed towards it's upper torso, making sure that I wouldn't hit any of our allies. Firing at least three rounds - one hitting it in the face, and the other two hitting it in the upper gut area - I listened as the rest of the Squad fired their Sabot rounds at the Tank. We all watched as the Pick-up, Solstice and Hummer all shot at the tank at the same time we did, effectively knocking it down. I strongly hoped that it stayed down, since it was obviously one of the oppositions heavy hitters.
