Beast Wars Prime

The Battle for Autobot City Pt.2

Hello again everyone, and welcome back to Beast Wars Prime. Alright folks, we have a long chapter ahead of us so buckle up and prepare for the emotional rollercoaster ahead. So, I bid you enjoy, and brace for the whiplash. Oh, I did catch an error in the last chapter. I forgot that Wheeljack was on Cybertron, not Earth. I've fixed it since then so no problem.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Shaking his head as he stood back up, the Autobot known as Drift attempted to regain his bearings as the ground shook beneath him. While the Wreckers were managing to keep the Vehicons at bay, Nemesis Prime and Galvatrons' salvo had sent the unit scrambling as the main gate exploded along with the Vehicons assaulting it. The swordsbot could only be thankful that the drones had no sparks. And therefore, no ability to feel pain.

He had no idea how long he was out, but in the time between the explosion and waking, much had happened. The communications tower was now laying on the ground and several buildings were destroyed that weren't before. The biggest change however was the reason for both the ground quaking as well as his return to consciousness.

"By the Primes." Drift whispered as he watched the Titan Fortress Maximus do battle with Trypticon and a horrific looking combiner. Around him, the other Wreckers were beginning to stir.

"Woah!" Bulkhead exclaimed as he looked up at the colossi battling before them. "Who woke the Titan?"

"Hey Kup, ever seen anything like this before?" Rotorstorm asked the elder Wrecker. The old mech had seemingly seen everything else in existence.

"Nope." Kup admitted as he helped the two young Predacons to their feet. "Never seen anything like it." The other Wrecker just laughed.

"Had to be a first ti-." Rotorstorm was cut off as several feet of steel burst through his chest.

"No, STORMY!" Bulkhead cried out as his friend fell to the ground, revealing the arrival of Bludgeon.

"A clash of Titans." The skeletal samurai began, never taking his empty sockets off the group. "Truly a grand sight to see." He held his sword at the ready. "As well as your last."

"You'll pay for that!" Bulkhead screamed as he charged forth, wrecking balls at the ready. He and Rotorstorm had only recently reconnected only for his and Wheeljacks' friend to be cut down. He'd turn this skeleton into mummy dust.

Drift realized what was about to happen.

"Bulkhead no! Come back!" But it was too late, Bludgeon emitted a large cloud of black smoke as the charging powerhouse threw a punch at him. A second later there was a sound of metal slicing metal and a yell of pain as Bulkhead pulled back a sparking stump. Bludgeon had severed his arm. The con then darted out of the cloud, swinging his sword again and eliciting another yell of pain as the Wrecker fell backwards and his left leg fell the opposite direction.

"Gone to pieces, eh?" Bludgeon taunted, bringing his word to Bulkheads' neck. "I shall end your suffering. "Farewell Wrecker scum." As he went to sever the behemoths' head, his sword was met by Drifts'. A side kick sent the Decepticon staggering backwards, away from his victim.

"We have unfinished business, Bludgeon." Drift called to his opponent. "And since when did you serve Unicron willingly?" He demanded.

"Why, balance my foe." Bludgeon answered as if it were obvious. "Light and darkness must be square." Seeing movement out of the corner of his optic, the samurai deployed a dark energon kunai on a chain. Spinning it, he was able to deflect several shots from Kup and Springer. "Thus chaos, I serve." With his last syllable, Bludgeon flung the kunai and chain towards the two, gun wielding Wreckers while using his right wrist to fire several throwing stars at Drift. Fortunately, the kunai missed.
