The Three Descendants

Darkness Rising, Part 1

It was a normal day and Cliffjumper was driving while talking to Arcee though the comlink. "So there I was when all of a sudden this light show came in from my review mirror and then it hit me. I'm illegally parked."

"Another ticket?"

"Even better the boot."

"Big metal tire clamp impossible to remove."

"Bingo so I let the police do their thing and let them go up a block. That's when I ditched my new shoes and then..."

"New York finest soil themselves."

"Hey, you know me mess with Cliffjumper and..."

"And you get the horns."

Arcee could hear Cliffjumper laughing. "Not sure how that complies with Autobot rule number one keep a low profile."

"What can I say, it gets lonesome looking for Energon in dullsville. Almost makes me miss the Decepticons."

"Like Jasper, Nevada is a party. We are alone where ever we are on this rock Cliff."

Just then Cliffjumper picked up something. "Hang on I just picked up a signal."

"Need backup?"

"Do I ever?"

Cliffjumper then went off the road and started to head to the signal and then found what he was looking for. "I just found a whole lot of Energon."

As Cliffjumper said that the Decepticons warship showed up. "Decepticons!"

As soon as he said it one of the ship's blaster hit him and he landed by the Energon. Then one of the ships doors open and some Decepticons come out of it. All of them landing on top of the ledge looking down at Cliffjumper. "Arcee... About that backup?"

Meanwhile with Arcee called out to Optimus as well as the others could hear as well. "Arcee to Optimus! The Cons are back and Cliff might be neck deep in Scrap!"

"Understood, Ratchet do you have a lock on Cliffjumper?"

"I have a fix on his single but we are all in different time zones!"

"Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee return to base and prepare to ground bridge."

As Arcee was heading back to base Arcee could only think of one thing. *Not again! Cliff, please hang on.*

Cliffjumper wasn't doing so well against the Cons at some point after he lost one of his horns he started to use his blasters and so did the Cons. This led to the Energon to explodes and caught Cliffjumper in it. Which soon after the Cons took Cliffjumper to their ship where Starscream was watching the whole thing. "The Energon it's useless to me now."

After he said that the Decepticons that had Cliffjumper showed up with him and dragged him to Starscream. "Scream it been a while. Cough...Cough. So where is your master?"

"Never mind him! I'm my own master!"

At that moment with his bare hands, Starscream pierced into Cliffjumper's chest. "Ahhh!"

Starscream then leaned down to Cliffjumper. "Have any more questions?"

He then slowly pulled out his hands and Cliffjumper began to fall down. *I'm sorry Arcee, but hey I'll be sure to tell Tailgate that you said hi.*

And with that, he became one with the Allspark for now. Starscream looked down at Cliffjumper. "Clean that up!"
