The Power Within - Transformers Prime (2)

Chapter Twenty-Six

[Amanda]

  I really hope Miko called the Autobots...

  Finn and I jumped to the side as Typhoon's axe sliced into the ground where we were just standing. I extended my staff, but realized it wouldn't do much against the Cybertronian that was so hell bent on killing me. And I didn't even do anything to the guy, which peeved me a bit. But I had no time to be annoyed.

  "Your death is inevitable, little goddess!" Typhoon yelled, swinging towards me again. I ducked, feeling the axe go right over my head. I needed an idea, we couldn't keep dodging forever. I heard gunshots ring out and spotted Finn opening fire on the Cybertronian. Typhoon raised a hand to block the oncoming bullets, which seemed to do little more than annoy him. With his back to me, I summoned the powers of Cleona and blasted him just as he was about to step on Finn. Typhoon stumbled, allowing Finn to roll out of the way.

  "Ah, so she does have the powers," Typhoon mused, a smile spreading on his face. "And here I thought you would face me with your stick and your minion."

  Now that his attention was on me, I had no idea what to do. I sent another blast of silver at the Cybertronian, but he lifted his axe to block it.

  "Raf!" I yelled. "Activate defense systems!"

  "But won't you guys be caught in the crossfire?" Raf's voice echoed across the lawn like how Blair's did.

  "No, it's programmed not to. Now activate it!"

  The defense guns and high voltage electric fences came back up, all aimed at Typhoon, who let out a roar as they surprised him. He lashed out with his axe, hitting one gun and slicing it in half. Soon enough, he'll hit them all and then we'd be in trouble. Then an idea came to mind. I covered the staff in my hands with the silver dust, as that seemed to have the biggest effect on the Cybertronian. As Typhoon sliced through two more guns, I waved Finn over and I placed a hand on his gun, infusing it with the silver dust.

  "Now shoot him," I said, indicating at Typhoon. Finn nodded seriously, not a trace of fear on his face as he took aim and fired at the Cybertronian, causing him to whirl on us as a bullet lodged in his shoulder.

  "That hurt!" Typhoon bellowed, lashing out towards us. Finn and I split up again, rolling out of the way to avoid getting squashed. I saw a furious look cross Typhoon's face and my stomach dropped, realizing that he was done playing with us. He crushed the last defense weapon in place and then stomped towards me. Finn opened fire again, hitting the Cybertronian in the back and causing him to whirl on him, which cornered Finn.

  "Finn, move!" I cried as I saw Typhoon pull back to lash out at him. I sent a blast of Cleona's powers at the Cybertronian in attempt to knock him away, but it didn't make contact until he backhanded Finn, sending him flying across the lawn. Horror filled me as he crashed into the ground, but I didn't freeze. Instead, I charged at Typhoon, who was now turning to me. I got close, knowing he could take a swing at me with his upper body unless he wanted to hit his own lower body, and grabbed hold of his leg. Tucking my staff under my arm, I started to climb up Typhoon's leg until I made it to his knee.

  "What are you doing?" The Cybertronian demanded, trying to shake me loose, but I used the silver dust to keep my grip. Once he paused, I grabbed my power-infused staff and stabbed it into his knee. Typhoon let out a loud bellow of pain and shook me loose, causing me to slam into the ground. Pain shot through my body, but I blinked the stars in my vision away and stood, groaning as I did. Typhoon was clutching his knee and I saw energon dripping down his leg.

  "You will pay for this!" He yelled and charged at me. I had to where to run, so I dropped my staff and raised both my hands, making a shield of silver dust around me. His axe his my shield and I groaned, using all my strength to keep it up. Typhoon kept pushing down on his axe, not letting up in attempt to break through my shield.
