Beserk

Prologue

His spark thumped out of rhythm with his strides. His optics were narrowed and focused as he raced around trees for cover as the laser beam pursuiting him inched closer. The heat from the blaster began to feel increasingly hot and Sideswipe took his leap. He jumped up into the air and over a large boulder and luckily the beam only clipped his right pede. He rolled and recovered quickly. He panted as he pressed his frame up against the cool rock turned away from the sun and the shouts of battle. War cries reigned across the field and Sideswipe took out his blaster, ducking his helm when the beam crossed overhead. The rock was shaking at the intensity of the beam but soon it passed over. Sideswipes pants began to subside and he started to chuckle and smirk at his own cleverness. He turned to his golden wounded twin with a cheeky smile.

"That was sloppy," his twin spoke with a familiar tone he only heard once in a while in battle. It made Sideswipe smirk even more as he recognized it.

"Worried about me, sunshine?" He asked as he loaded up his gun. His sensors on high alert.

"Don't be ridiculous." Sunstreaker scoffed, his optics scanning over the battlefield. "I'm worried about the bomb. Do you have it or not?" He turned his black helm to his brother, his expression showing he had little patience.

Before Sideswipe could answer, a cry of pain was heard not far from the twins. They turned their helms toward it. They hoped it was a Decepticon just near them but it was one of their own.

Sunstreaker cursed.

Bumblebee was tackled by Ravage, pinned. His arm had a large gash in it, pouring bright blue energon into the ground. His wound seem to weaken his strength as he was trying to fight against Ravage.

"You get that bomb to Jazz. I'll take care of Bumblebee." Sunstreaker ordered as he rolled his shoulders.

"Are you crazy?! Stay down." Sideswipe hissed, his frame growing tense. "Ratchets still on his way."

"I won't lay here like a fragging coward, Sideswipe. Bumblebee needs help." He shot back.

"Bluestreak can snipe the darn cat, you can't go anywhere!" Sideswipe huffed, gesturing to wherever the sniper may be.

"Stop bickering with me and do what I say! Primus, Sideswipe I'm not going to fragging die going against Ravage for pits sake." Sunstreaker rolled his optics as he got to his pedes. Sideswipe looked still unsure. "Go, your wasting time."

"Slagger," Sideswipe mumbled as he leaned over the rock and began shooting any close cons, covering for his brother. Sunstreaker only snorted and grunted as he got to his full height. He began sprinting to Bumblebees position with a light limp. Sideswipe tightened his grip on the gun at the sight. "So fragging stubborn." He shook his helm and began making a run for it. His optics looked around, scanning for Jazz. He finally spotted him through Devastors legs and in a few trees, waving to him. Sideswipe nodded silently and transformed.

Sideswipe accelerated, his engine roaring as he went around trees and rocks to reach Jazz. He circled Devastor, the large giant dealing with Optimus Prime and the others. Sideswipe chuckled, amused by how dumb it looked. The ground rumbled and shook underneath the red warriors tires as Devastor walked. Megatron gave a war cry and Sideswipe sped up, drifting around Devastor, now seeing the back of the combiner. Jazz was waving in the trees and suddenly the ground became very shaky.

::Sideswipe, Stop!!:: Jazz shouted into his commlink

::What? I'm almost there!:: Sideswipe spoke into the comm with confusion. Sideswipe began swerving and he transformed. He grabbed onto trees to hold steady as he tried making it to Jazz who was less than a football field away. Jazz was screaming and waving his servos for him to stop. Sideswipe paused with growing confusion. Jazz began pointing to the side of him and Sideswipe turned his helm.

::Turn around, mech! Run!:: was the last warning Jazz could give him.

An explosion erupted underneath Sideswipes pedes from the blast of Devastors gun. Sideswipe flew and tree branches began striking his frame and the heat began melting his armor, triggering the bomb inside his subspace to go off...
