a hero's call to action.
series
after great tragedy a hero will fight one last time for honor, for freedom, for love
"Do you think you got through to Prime?" he asked. both of them looking expectantly into the heavens through the shattered viewport Blaster sighed his hands clenched and unclenched, his face grim as he scanned the sky. "Let's hope so, cause if I didn't, we're all gonna look like burnt out toaster ovens."
Meanwhile, Blurr was having problems of his own, unable to keep up with the Decepticon attack coming from all sides even with his lightening-fast abilities. if we dont get help soon, Blurr thought to himself, this just might be the end of the war for us forever! thought Blurr to himself as he ran throughout the city hoping in his energon pump that he could find Magnus and get them out of there before the shit hits the fan big time as he rushes throughout the city in a line of light to warn his fellow autobots to evacuate to safer ground. finally finding magnus he ran up to him amidst a hail of enemy fire power. Maybeweshouldevacuate thecitycommander" Blurr yelled to be heard over the roar of enemy laser blasts."Afterallifwedon't wellgetkilled,doyouhearmekilled.
"NO" Yelled Ultra Magnus in response as he grabbed Blurr by the shoulders roughly and shaking him out of his panic like state. "We're Autobots Blurr, and we must always fight on for the freedom of those who are too weak to stand up and defend themselves from the Decepticons. "We must fight on to protect the beliefs of peace and freedom, justice and honor even if we must give up our lives in the end. we will not stand by and watch the Decepticons inflict destruction and death and misery on this beuatiful planet as they have done to our homeworld of Cybertron" said Magnus with a pulsing blue fire in his eyes, fires of bravery, courage and wisdom. "We must rise up against the Decepticons and what they stand for, we must fight on for the inhabitants of this planet Earth, We must fight on for every Autobot that died for the cause today, Hoist, Trailbreaker, Inferno, Red Alert, Skids, Smokescreen,Bluestreak, gears, Huffer, our comrades on the shuttle Brawn, Rachet, Ironhide, and Prowl as well as tracks and Raule" Said Ultra Magnus, who would always remember those last 2 especially as he remembers them the fires in his eyes burns even darker going from blue to a crimson fire even greater then ever before.
Blurr has never seen him like this before. "We must fight for the Autobot code, for Primes beliefs that formed the Autobot cause, we must destroy the fires of evil the Decepticons have inflicted upon Earth and Cybertron. We must defeat the Decepticons once and for all so that peace and freedom can once again belong to those that value life for generations to come. Blurr is totally wide eyed and astonished to the point that his mouth was gaping open. "Are you with me? said Ultra Magnus. Blurr shook himself out of his staring state by shaking his Head. "butbutbutbut butbutbutbutbut" stuttered Blurr not knowing what to say."Are you with me!?" said Ultra Magnus with his hand outstretched in front of Blurr. Blurr looked at his hand thinking to himself. I'm risking my life, but I've got to quit being afraid of everything. ever since I was created I've been afraid to go out into battle, even when Optimus Prime needed me the most. I know what's right. fight or flee, and i'de rather fight thinks Blurr to himself. "I'm with you Ultra Magnus, all the way" If magnus is gonna die here and now it wont be with out avenging the wrongful deaths of his autobot brethren along the way. Blurr thought to himself as he ran back to his post to give his fellow bots some cover fire.
The Decepticons have avoided all city defenses and have got past the main wall. The Autobots fight valiantly to keep the Decepticons at bay but even though they fight with honor, bravery, and courage, their attempts cost them casualties and they are quickly starting to grow in number meanwhile back on moonbase 1 an alarm goes off as blasters transmission plays out on the speaker system. optimus,,you,,read ,,,decept,,cons blitsing ,,tobot,, city rea,, tak,,, pound,,, dont know how,,,longer hold out "Prime we just received a distress call from Blaster at Autobot city," Jazz began. "Megatron snuck onto the transport ship and killed off the crew. He's totally slagging the city and our fellow bots down there." added cliffjumper "Ultra Magnus is leading Kup and the others, but i doubt there'll be able to hold out for very long, said jazz. ''hound, you and sunstreaker prep the shuttle for immediate launch. rumbled prime over the speaker system. dinobots the time for waiting is over and the time to fight has arrived , the call to action has been sounded and we must answer it in turn, board the shuttle immediately we're blasting off for earth. grimlock walked in from his gaurd post and stood toe to toe with prime looking him straight in the eye they both knew only one thing would cause this to happen. "Dinobot's" grimlock roared "prepare for battle". the other dinos each braced themselves for combat as they had got somewhat bored with gaurding the weapon assembly lines. as one they all boarded the shuttle.
"Megatron has just started his last battle. this war must end and end now. make no mistake my friends this will be the final confrontation megatron will die if i can help it that murderer has too many deaths on his hands. he will cease to exist or I will die trying," Optimus said, his voice calm and detached. jazz swallowed, he knew it would come to this some day. He was their leader after all. "Prime, I understand man. It's your duty to see this through to the end ," Jazz replied with a detectable level of shock in his voice. Silence passed between them then, a silence so great it was permeable. Optimus stepped down from the podium, gracing the steps that led to where jazz was until he faced him. jazz looked up at him, his hand folded in a salute. Optimus shook his head. ''This is it jazz, but I fear this shall be the last time I see you my friend . I must ask you to carry on the fight should I perish." Jazz grasped his shoulders suddenly, his cool exterior gone. In his wild blue eyes Optimus saw anger pushing to the surface. "Take me with you man. your gonna need some back up," jazz said in a gravel like voice that was just barely on the edge of control. Optimus knew he would request that and shook his head what jazz wanted was not justice nor vengeance what he wanted right now was somewhere inbetween called retribution. No, Jazz i know you want to avenge iron hides death he was a good friend to us all as was prowl and their comrades but I could not live with your death on my conscious as well. Rachet can no longer help us should we be destroyed."
"Optimus, don't say that man! I want to help you cant just go and walk blindly into an obviouse trap without some back up man. Jazz was silenced by Optimus placing his large hands on his shoulders. He stared up at him., hoping he would change his mind. They needed to do this as a team together! "I'm leaving for Earth. Blaster will maintain radio contact with you and the others. Please, jazz, don't disobey my orders," Optimus said, his tone of voice flat and level. jazz refrained from crying out, from hitting his metal frame with his fists in anger and desperation. Instead he bowed his head in acceptance. "I wish you didn't have to go man" he said quietly. Optimus nodded. "Nor I. I won't be gone long jazz" he requested. At jazz's nod Optimus gave his old friend a thumbs up before turning away. Cliffjumper remained where he was, fixing Optimus' image in his mind for all time. Cliffjumper also feared he would never see their leader again. Till all are one," he whispered. ''Engines are prepped and ready" said hound to his commander with a snappy salute. "sunstreaker, full power to all shields" said prime. sunstreaker pressed a series of buttons and the whole board lit up like a tree at christmas. "shields engaged commander. "blast off" said prime and with that said the shuttle hurtled off into space with a roar of its engines.
"prime by the time we get there the worst will have already happened " hound said voicing the concerns on all their minds. "i know that hound which is why we will take the fastest route there through the correllian magnafield. but theres no way we can get through there without loosing the shuttle at worst or gaining some damage at best" said sunstreaker "i have taken that into consideration sunstreaker which is why it will be the ultimate test of wheeljacks retroactive forceshield. wheeljack has assured me on countless occassions that it will work and i have proven it to be so. said prime to his comrades to put them at ease as he activated the retro force shield/ it worked on the principal of actually bending gravity fields and radiation around it in such a way that any ship using it could pass through such an area of space with out taking damage even through a black hole if necessary .anything without such a shield going through that deadly gamma radiation strewn sector of space would either corrode at an increased rate until it got through or simply be reduced to nothingness at worst as the magnafields had a tendency to act like parallel sets of black holes on anything passing through there.
Prime's optics were pulsing a crimson blue due to his connection to the matrix as well as a continuous pulsing from within the matrix. Prime gave in to the anguish he felt from it, he very nearly fell into a well of dispair as he felt their pain their fear their sorrow in their passing into death as it could only mean that his comrades had fought to the bitter end , their sparks returning to the matrix and becoming one with it once again. They had sacrificed their very lives for the Autobot cause. My friends, my comrades, my family, you will not have died in vein. Your noble sacrifices will not be forgotten. By Iacon greatest of city states, by Silicon Valhalla, by the very will of Primus himself I swear I shall avenge you optimus preyed in silence. prime just hoped in his spark that they weren't too late to save the others and he drew on their strength to steel himself for the coming battle.
