(Discontinued) Transformers Prime: Rewritten (S1)

We're Back! || Darkness Rising

I know so far this is all following the episodes very closely, as will most part 1/2/3/4/etc episodes. Especially the beginning of them. But I promise I got lots of new stuff in store, not taken from the show. :)

Cliffjumper scoffed at the idea of surrender. "Yeah, how 'bout you surrender instead? Cause here's a fair warning: I'll put a few dings in ya," Thundercracker just scoffed. Clearly he wasn't going to do that.

The autobot then transformed back into his alt mode, speeding up the ravine and right for the two seekers.

"Arcee to Optimus, the cons are back. Cliff might be neck-deep in scrap."

Somewhere in the midwestern United States drove a red semi-truck, who responded. "Understood. Ratchet, do you have Cliffjumper's coordinates?"

The medic was somewhere by the rocky mountains, driving through snow. "I'm locked on his signal Optimus. But our team is scattered across timezones!"

"Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee: rendezvous back at base and prepare to groundbridge," Optimus Prime ordered.

Arcee quickly turned around, heading for the base in the desert. "What about the others? Should we groundbridge them over for help?" Optimus thought about that, but figured it best to keep the other team at their own stations. "That will not be necessary."

Cliffjumper was fighting the decepticon seekers at the edge of the ravine. Cliffjumper had a hold of Thundercracker, and took the chance to swing around and toss him at Skywarp.

Skywarp yelped and quickly teleported out of the way, appearing above the autobot and landing on his shoulders. While Cliffjumper was distracted, Thundercracker found his footing and launched himself at the red bot, using his rocket boosters to add momentum. The blue seeker hit into Cliffjumper and grabbed him, quickly aiming up into the sky.

Skywarp quickly jumped off, looking up as Thundercracker kicked into Cliffjumper's back and sent him falling towards the ground. He landed with a crash, losing one of his horns. Immediately Skywarp was on top of Cliffjumper, holding his arms out and aiming his missiles at the autobot.

Cliffjumper painfully rolled onto his back, freezing when he saw the missiles held up to his face. "Freeze Autobot!"

Cliffjumper simply grunted, kicking the seekers legs and tripping him. He then rolled away, ending up in the ravine again. Cliffjumper quickly jumped to his pedes, standing in front of the energon. He had heard what Thundercracker said before to Skywarp - so hopefully they wouldn't be willing to shoot at him while he was down here. Cliffjumper on the other hand, didn't mind the risk.

He transformed his servos into blasters, aiming them right at Skywarp who was struggling back to his pedes. Thundercracker landed right behind him, just as Cliffjumper started firing. Skywarp yelped and teleported just in time, resulting in the blasts hitting Thundercracker instead.

"Argh! Skywarp you scraphead! Wait-no don't!" he yelled, but not in time. Skywarp aimed his missile at the autobot and shot. Cliffjumper jumped out of the way, but the energon behind him went up in a blue, plasma explosion. The two seekers managed to transform and fly out of the way just in time, Thundercracker's jet roaring loudly.

"Ow! My audio receptors are sensitive!" Skywarp complained as he and Thundercracker transformed and landed after the explosion. Thundercracker just rolled his optics, "I'm not going to slow down just for your precious hearing. I was in the middle of trying to not combust!"

Skywarp just shrugged and jumped down into the ravine, grabbing Cliffjumper's unconscious body and dragging him out. "Heh, what idiot would jump into a ravine full of raw energon while in the middle of a fight?"

"What idiot actually shoots at a bunch of raw energon?" Thundercracker snapped. The purple jet laughed, but paused - a puzzled expression on his face. "Hey, I did that. Are you-"

"Just teleport us back to the nemesis," Thundercracker groaned.

"The energon, it's worthless to me now." A rough voice stated. It was Starscream, commander of the seekers and first lieutenant of the decepticons. Well, leader now. The seeker turned around as an injured Cliffjumper kicked the back of Skywarps knee, causing him to collapse. "Hey-"

Thundercracker grabbed Cliffjumper and threw him to the ground in front of Starscream. "Stop struggling and listen to Lord Starscream,"

The autobot spat out some energon, glaring at both of the seekers. "Scream? Lord? It's been a while," he paused to let out a cough, "but come on - where's your master?"

Starscream raised his servo threateningly, "Never mind him! I am my own master!" He then struck his servo down, stabbing Cliffjumper's spark with his sharp digits, "anymore questions?" He asked slyly as he drew his servo out - leaving behind dripping energon.

Thundercracker flinched at his boss' sudden outburst of malice. He clenched his fist and held his jaw shut tight, but no one noticed. He watched as the autobot's red frame slumped forward, collapsing as the light went out from his optics - leaving to join with the Allspark.

Starscream flicked the energon off his digits, "Clean that up!" he shouted. Skywarp and Thundercracker stepped aside as two vehicons walked over and grabbed Cliffjumper's body - dragging it out to be 'dealt' with.
