Jungle Hugo: A New Adventure

Chapter 11

Steeljaw lunged at Grimlock, tackling the Dinobot. The two Transformers fought viciously, with Grimlock repeatedly punching Steeljaw in the faceplate. Steeljaw threw Grimlock off, throwing the Dinobot into a pillar, smashing it to pieces. Grimlock roared, charging straight at Steeljaw. Lowering his head, the Dinobot head-bashed Steeljaw, sending himself and the Decepticon tumbling out of the building. A major thunderstorm had hit the entire city, rain was pouring down hard. It almost seemed the city would be flooding. Grimlock snarled, facing Steeljaw, who has now recovered from the headbutt. Steeljaw let out his own, beastial snarl, rage filling up inside. The Decepticon grimaced, glaring at Grimlock with murder in his optics.

"YOU AUTOBOTS... ALWAYS RUIN MY PLANS TO... CONQUER THIS PLANET FOR DECEPTICONS TO RULE!!" Steeljaw snarled.

"Well, you picked the wrong planet to do so, Steeljaw. This planet doesn't belong to Decepticons! It belongs to the humans who live on it! You want a planet to call your own? I hear Jupiter's on sale." Grimlock retorted, before charging at Steeljaw once again. The two Transformers collided into each other, grappling and trying to push the other over. Grimlock snarled in pain, feeling Steeljaw's claws dig into his outer frame. Grimlock clamped his jaws on Steeljaw's shoulder, causing the Decepticon to shriek out in pain. With immense strength, Grimlock lifted Steeljaw in the air and lobbed him into a building, smashing the Decepticon back-first into the concrete wall. Steeljaw got up, and grabbed a large metal beam. Roaring out, Steeljaw smashed the beam onto Grimlock's head, making the Dinobot yell out in pain. Steeljaw clubbed Grimlock in the face several times with the beam, before striking Grimlock with a blow powerful enough to send the metal T-Rex sprawling on the ground. Hugo and Rita ran outside, and saw what was happening.

"Grimlock!!" Hugo yelled out, accidentally catching Steeljaw's attention. The wolf-like Decepticon snarled upon spotting Hugo and Rita, and dropped his makeshift weapon.

"YOU! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING, YOU LITTLE PEST!!!" Steeljaw yelled, charging towards Hugo. Grimlock groaned as he sat up, seeing what was happening.

"HUGO, RUN!!!!" Grimlock yelled. Hugo gasped as he grabbed Rita's paw and the two ran as fast as possible, with Steeljaw hot on their tails. Steeljaw lunged at Hugo but Hugo dodged, making Steeljaw slip and crash into the slippery ground below. Steeljaw leaped up and continued chasing after the couple through the streets. Hugo and Rita came to the enormous building Grimlock was held in, panting and sore from running. Hugo turned around, seeing Steeljaw running towards them, roaring out in rage.

"Rita, we have to climb!" Hugo said, pointing upwards.

"But Hugo, I can't climb!" Rita protested. Hugo took hold of her paws.

"That's okay, I'll help you. Climb on my back." Hugo said. Rita nodded as she climbed up Hugo's back. Hugo then leapt on a ledge, making his way up the tall building. Steeljaw looked up, seeing Hugo and Rita climbing the building. He bared his sharp teeth in a snarl, narrowing his optics.

"So you want to climb to safety, Hugo? YOU THINK HEIGHT'S GONNA STOP ME?!" Steeljaw said, digging his claws in the concrete walls and began scaling up the building after Hugo. Hugo began to climb faster, with Rita clinging tightly to his shoulders. Steeljaw swung his claws at Hugo, but he dodged again. Steeljaw leaped towards Hugo again, but then Velocirazor suddenly lunged at Steeljaw, clawing and biting the Decepticon while digging his teeth and claws into his back and shoulders. Steeljaw yelled in pain and tried to claw the Velociraptor off, but Velocirazor wouldn't budge. Hugo looked back oncd more to see what had stopped Steeljaw.

"Get to the roof! I got Steeljaw!" Velocirazor hollered as he kept viciously clawing at Steeljaw. Hugo climbed up the building, he was nearly at the top. Steeljaw's optics widened, and then he scrunched up his faceplate with rage.

"NOOO!!!!" Steeljaw yelled, finally grabbing Velocirazor and lobbing him off the skyscraper. Velocirazor plummeted into the streets below, crashing into the concrete floor. Velocirazor was down, but he was definitely not out. Hugo and Rita finally reached the top of the skyscraper, panting tiredly and slumping to the floor of the roof, trying to take a quick breather. Suddenly, Steeljaw climbed onto the roof, snarling viciously. Hugo and Rita gasped as they were backed up to the edge of the roof. Rita took hold of Hugo's paws, who did the same with hers, looking with fear as Steeljaw approached them.

"NOWHERE TO GO NOW, HUH HUGO?! YOUR CORNERED, TRAPPED... NO WAY OUT! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I FINALLY GOT YOU WHERE I WANT YOU!" Steeljaw triumphantly yelled, before grabbing Hugo in his claws.

"NOO! LET HIM GO!!" Rita yelled, leaping on Steeljaw's foot and biting it. Steeljaw growled in annoyance.

"Get off of me!!" Steeljaw said, kicking Rita off the building. Rita yelped as she seemingly plummeted off the skyscraper.

"RITAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!" Hugo screamed at the top of his lungs. Tears welled in his eyes as he began sobbing.

"YOU MONSTER!!! YOU MONSTEEEEERRRR!!!!!" Hugo screamed, slamming his fits on Steeljaw's index finger.

"QUIT YOUR PATHETIC-" Steeljaw was cut off when something caught his optics. Something was climbing up the building, and now Hugo was focused on it too. Suddenly, Rita popped her head up, smiling. Hugo gasped, wiping a tear and grinning. Steeljaw just stood there in disbelief.

"Don't worry, Hugo. Im fine." Rita said. At that moment, Tricerashot appeared right under Rita, revealing she was caught by him during her fall.

"She was falling so I caught her. Just in time, amiright?" Tricerashot said, beaming. Steeljaw snapped out of his disbelief, snarling.

"How did you..." Steeljaw said, but he was interrupted AGAIN.

"HEY, STEELJAW." Grimlock hollered from the top of a nearby building. He held a massive wrecking ball in his hand. Steeljaw grimaced at Grimlock, until he suddenly realized the Dinobot was smirking. Wait, what was he... Suddenly, Grimlock leaped into the air, he lifted the hand holding the wrecking ball, snarling.

"CANNONBAAAALLLLL!!!!" Grimlock hollered loudly. Gaining all the strength he could muster, Grimlock launched the ball straight at Steeljaw. Steeljaw widened his optics as the wrecking ball hurled towards him. The poor Decepticon didn't have time to move out of the way as the ball SMASHED into him with so much force, Steeljaw was catapulted off the skyscraper. He released his grip on Hugo as he screamed in agony while falling to his demise. Grimlock landed on the skyscraper Steeljaw was thrown off of and caught Hugo just in time. Steeljaw, however, wasn't so lucky. The Decepticon smashed into a couple of buildings before plummeting into the hard, concrete ground, creating a long crater in it as he slid to a stop. Steeljaw was broken and hurt badly. The Decepticon weakly attempted to get up, but he was too badly damaged. Groaning in pain, Steeljaw flopped back down on the ground, unconscious. Steeljaw was finally defeated.

Grimlock carried Hugo, Rita, and Tricerashot down, reuniting with Scowl and a injured Velocirazor. Rita and Hugo gleefully hugged each other once again, the young couple embracing each other in a warm, teary-eyed hug. The danger was dealt with, everyone was finally safe. Grimlock and Scowl gave each other a tail high-five, before Conrad angrily stomped towards them.

"MY SKYSCRAPERS! MY ENTERPRISE! RUINED!! AND ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO MY INDUSTRIES!!" Conrad ranted. The Dinobots all looked at one another, before they all began glaring at Conrad. Conrad suddenly felt sweat run down his temples as he suddenly felt the urge to adjust his tie in a nervous manner. The Dinobots walked towards him, making Conrad back up.

"Uh, I-I-I was just... k-k-k-kidding! It's a big joke! Hahahah, got you! Hehehe... I'm sure we can... talk things out and become the b-b-best of f-friends! Just please don't hurt m-m-me..." Conrad stammered, but his pleas weren't enough for Grimlock as the T-Rex grabbed Conrad and threw him in the air. Conrad screamed as he was tail-whacked into the ocean by Grimlock.

"AND THE CROWD GOES WIIIILLLLDDDDD!" Grimlock jokingly exclaimed, making everyone laugh out loud.
