"Chatting and Spells"

"Flashback conversations and nonverbal spells"

All across Chicago, NEST operatives were web-gliding in. With Autobot Air Support confronting the Decepticon Scout Drones, the Autobot Flyers under the command of Jetfire. The pain was sufficiently brought.

Three seekers wo were disguised similarly to Starscream as F-22 Fighter Jets found themselves in half as the Blackbird Autobot, flew at them shifted into his humanoid form and with his massive cane axe that became his third land wheel effortlessly split the 'Cons in half.

However, not all of the insertions were smooth. The French were coming in from the North of Trump Tower and had subsequently encountered some of the heaviest resistance.

The Germans and Brits had some of the smoothest. The British and German Sorcerers had created some specialist Portkeys that allowed the magical and mundane strike teams to instinctively be placed in allied territory.

Meanwhile, Strike Team Epps were making some requests as gunfire and screams were echoing around them. "The Decepticons are really hating those AMP guys right now…Please tell me you guys have other forms of it?" Said Wheelie.

Sam Brown and his team who had been rescued by Team Epps nodded and rolled his sleeve up to reveal a metal hand guard on top of his normal hand "Exo Battle Suits…The able bodied version of the Amp Mobility Platform…To be fair, the Boss only approved Project: AMP because he saw the immediate medical properties that they could provide."

Sam cocked his head "What do you mean?"

"AMP Suits are neurologically linked to the body. Meaning the actual body stops moving and the brain makes the robotic limbs move instead from what I understand. From what the operatives say is that they are placed into the suit and there are exceptionally sensitive nerve relay sections throughout…Memory foam mattress ONLY WAY more sensitive. The suits arms are moved through the arms but when it comes to the legs…that's where the science comes in. The nerves in paraplegic's legs are severely atrophied, this suit re-activates those neurons by tapping into the nerves at a different point in the body going around the break in the spine."

Sam's eyes widened "Allowing people to walk again."

Brown nodded "Exactly…That's why the boss commissioned them."

"Yet they are being used for combat." Said Epps sceptically.

"The testers are ex-military who wanted one last tour."

Suddenly they heard a grating roaring sound "That is one scary-ass Decepticon!" Commented Epps as he looked at the thing.

"Fugly mug. Has a driller thing…That's Shockwave…Ohh and He's got Prime's trailer." Said a Ryce Stark, known as 'Thrifty'. The guy was from Yorkshire and was the squads Heavy Weapon Specialist.

"They got my trailer. I need that flight tech. Shockwave can't hunt all of us at once. Wreckers, WE NEED A DIVERSION!" Finished Optimus.

Harry grinned as He and Crosshairs zipped around the city, drifting around corners with Harry firing an Energon, Heavy Repeating Rifle "I love this thing."

Crosshairs grinned "Thanks for quadrupling the mag size of my Subs and making them twin barrelled." (Look up Storm Bolters and you'll have an idea).

"Let's get some!" Called Leadfoot.

"Got that right." Rumbled Roadbuster.

"Someone order clean-up?" Asked Bulkhead. The gianormous Wrecker was a simple soul.

"SLOG SMASH!" Boomed the Dinobot.
"DINOBOTS! WRECK IT!"

Rack 'n' Ruin groaned "The humans won't…They…probably will. Let's wreck and roll."

"Never a dull moment." Whispered Impactor.

"Now I can see why they're assholes." Whispered Brown.

"Heard that prick." Said one of the Wreckers.

"Meant to asshole."

The wreckers cackled, they loved the British Soldiers. The guys kept a smile on the face even when slag was going everywhere.

"Time to shred tyres and fuck 'Con afts."

As the rest of the Autobots were about to move out, Que dropped a bunch of devices "These are my grapple gauntlets and boomsticks…Amazing for kicking Decepticon Ass." He was cut off by the sound of a Heavy Machine Gun on steroids.

"Someone's brought a museum exhibit and attached to an AMP." "Bien, monsieur, je suis le capitaine Jack Delaquois du Régiment de la plate-forme blindée de l'armée française handicapée et c'est un canon d'assaut." (Good sir, I am Captain Jack Delaquois of the Disabled French Army Armoured Platform Regiment and this is an Assault Cannon.)

"Bloody hell. Looks like something out of that model company my son likes." Another person murmured.

"How come The French have them?"

"Parce que nous avons testé les choses ... Heureux chasse." (Because we tested the things…Happy hunting) Relied Jack and soon enough the French engaged the Decepticons.

"Listen…We're gonna circle around to that glass building. And we'll get high enough to make the rocket shot while you guys draw his fire. Let's move!" Ordered Epps.

Meanwhile, Lennox and the Americans had a rather rough entrance into Chicago, losing Five Ospreys out of Twenty. However, they had made it and the point was moot.

(Epps)

They had made it into the glass building when one of them had been caught by a drone "They're shooting the building! They are shooting the building!"

They quickly hit the deck, Sam handed Carly the normal handgun and grabbed his Energon blaster.

The window shattered and a Decepticon burst in as the building began to tilt. Sam had grabbed Carly and were behind a pillar, as they moved around the pillar, they were nearing the way it came in "GO, GO, GO!" Shouted Epps and they began to run. The Protoform turned and Sam effortlessly blew its head clean off and he began to run.

The group were sliding "Shoot the windows! Shoot the windows!"

One small problem, as the building was crooked what should have been a safe drop back into the building became a quick tunnel to their inevitable deaths.

Yorkshire and Brown grabbed some of the exposed wires and managing to avoid serious electrical burns, they managed to catch their colleagues and send them into more secure parts of the building.

However, Shockwave smirked and pointed towards the building "Driller-bot is thirsty." He said in unmistakable Ukrainian accented Cybertronian.

Epps gulped "I've got some evil thing looking at me."

Edward pulled out a hunting scope "That's Shockwave…And he's got some fucking evil Decepticon with him! We need to evac."

The soldiers, Sam and Carly scrabbled to the fire escape and either ran down the stairs, jumped stairs or even jumped railings using Que's grapple gloves used them to descend down the middle of the staircase. "Why do the Decepticons get amazing shit yourself terrifying shit?" Gasped Epps.

"Because they're the bad guys…Bad guys ALWAYS have the upper hand."

Just then the sound of jets graced their ears as Optimus Prime, equipped with his flight tech came flying right at Drill-Bot, Energon Zambato's glowing orange as he effortlessly cleaved through the Decepticon.

Then he found himself faltering because he had just flown past a construction site or the remains of one and several wires had snared themselves on him "WRECKERS!"

"Coming!" Boomed Leadfoot as he began scrabbling up the crane.

(Sentinel Prime)

"Decepticons around the world…Launch the Pillars!" Ordered Sentinel.

(Sam and Carly)

During the hasty evacuation, Carly and Sam were separated from Epps and his team. When, Starscream appeared, flipping and landing in front of him. Sam didn't need a Minor technology to realise Starscream looked to be on the edge of the Cybertronian version of shitting himself.

"What a treat! You and me, alone!" Cackled Starscream, he had just given Jetfire the slip.

Sam grabbed Carly by the wrist "Carly! Come on, come on! Run! Okay! He's after me, not you. Quick! Run!"

"You can't hide…I love it when your little insect try to run! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" The gloating turned into screams of pain, as Sam's grapple glove caught the Seeker in the eye, sending Sam screaming into the air.

As Starscream thrashed about, his Energon signals flared up. All NEST operatives had Energon scanners, allowing for them to track Decepticons and in some cases ambush them if they had been freshly shifted "Target the Decepticon!" Ordered Epps.

As the Black Clad American NEST Operatives swarmed Starscream's stamping area Lennox grinned wolfishly "Target, designation Starscream…Sam Witwicky is on him with some sort of bungee rope device."

Lennox saw Carly and he slid over to him "You have to save Sam!"

"Who are you? What the hell is he doing?" Replied Lennox.

"Carly, I'm why you're all here…Distracting that thing…Have you managed to contact Mark Spencer?"

Lennox shook his head "Relative?"

"British…I remember him mentioning he got a special detachment posting."

(Sam)

Sam had just been thrown into the storeroom of a clothing store and one of Que's Boomsticks landed just out of reach. Sam lunged, grabbed it, stabbed it on the ground and it began to beep "This had better work."

He ran and jumped Starscream as the NEST operatives began firing Sabot rounds into Starscreams feet.

Starscream shrieked as the boomstick was impaled in his other eye "Ah ah ow ow ow ow ow ow! I can't see! I can't see!"

Lennox launched himself onto the Seeker. One of theur training simulations was to be able to climb bucking and twitching Autobots of all kinds and Epps, had found flyers or Seekers were the absolute worst "Sam! It's on my hand! Grab the knife! Knife!" He called.

"I'm trying! Knife, knife, knife, knife, knife!..." Screamed Sam as Starscream let out a shriek of rage and pain. These human fleas were being a pain in his exhaust pipe.

"The bomb's gonna blow! The bomb's gonna-" Screamed Sam, as he and Lennox were bouncing around, trying to cut themselves free and avoid being squished by a flailing Starscream.

Lennox gulped, this felt like Jordan and Egypt all over again when Epps had covered the four of them in a strafing run "What bomb? How long have we got?"

"HUMAN SCUM!" Shrieked Starscream as he began rubbing his head on the ground like a demented dog, trying to get rid of a blinding itch.

"We got twenty seconds on that bomb! You see that bomb? Cut it, cut it, cut it!" Lennox could just about make out a glowing stick in Starscreams eye and his heart sank.

Bumblebee whistled his entrance as he ran along the side of the building, his arms using Starscream as focus point to do some impressive martial arts twists, he effortlessly snapped the chord, shifted into his car form as Lennox and Sam screamed and it was followed by an explosion.

"That wasn't fun." Panted Lennox.

"That's the second time…Twice in mortal danger." Gasped Sam and the pair fell onto the tarmac stomachs heaving.

Sam looked at Starscreams headless body "Well, he's dead."

"Command, Starscream is down…Taking evidence now…Everyone cover the body."

Sam, Lennox, NEST and Bumblebee sat on Starscream as Carly got there image on a Satellite Camera. The thing was the size of a standard civilian camera except it revealed GPS, Thermal Imaging.

(Morshower)

"What is that? Who is that?"

"Sir, that's Starscream…He's high up in Decepticon Command." Reported an Aide.

"How high?" Replied the General.

Mearing entered after receiving a message from Lennox and Harry "Second in overall command. Commander of the Decepticon Air Support…As for the picture, NEST have a list of the Top Five important Decepticons that we want Dead and Starscream is number two on that list. Soundwave, Shockwave, Barricade are beneath him and Megatron above him."

Morshower nodded "Very good." Despite the shit beating the world had taken in the first half of this game…Morshower was coming to terms with aliens existing so he had to compartmentalise it into a football game. Yes it was callous but it helped keep him sane…relatively. NEST had delivered some very successful plays and a Touchdown with Starscream being taken out.

(Above Chicago)

Meanwhile, another tertiary goal had been achieved. Wheelie and Brains had managed to get themselves inside one of the big scout deploy ships. "Time to bring the pain."

(Chicago)

Sam, Carly, NEST and Bee were heading towards their next objective "Hey, Bee's going to run with the rest of the Autobots and meet us at the edge of the river." Said Sam. He really needed to work on his stamina.

(Above Chicago)

"Well this is a complete clusterfuck…Get chewing." Snapped Wheelie.

Brains nodded.

(Chicago)

"We got to get across the river. You see that? She said the control pillar was in that first cupola." Said Sam panting slightly.

"All right."

"Let's go! Move! Let's move!" Shouted Aaron Adler, The German had changed his heavy machine gun for a Laser Automated Machine Cannon or LASCannon. It was a heavy concentrated Energon particle dispenser of a weapon that would chew through all but the heaviest of materials. It was Anti-Cybertron as energy weapons could get.

(NEST Command)

"Tomahawks are inbound. ETA twenty minutes." Said A NEST Announcer.

"I'm in the traffic cameras." Said Dutch, satisfaction in his voice.

"We're helpless." Said Mearing as announcer said that some Autobots had been captured.

"Whatever's about to happen, it's going to happen soon. Those pulses are getting faster." Said Simmons. Aside from being an author, this was what he loved doing. He appreciated that Ben had tried to get him back into NEST, he had retired a happy man but nothing would ever replace this rush.

"No sign of Prime.

(Chicago)

"How do we get the bridges down? Spread out. Check in there." This was in reference to the control tower. Just then out of an alleyway came a team of SEALS, British, French, German and American NEST fighters well what appeared to be the remains of their insertion teams.

"Epps! Epps, I've been looking for your ass. How you doing?" Called Lennox pulling the ex-air force member into a hug.

"Retirement is whack. Even worse, we can't get across the river to that building, and the Autobots are upstairs, surrounded." Came the dry reply.

(Headquarters)

"Just pan that camera around, all right?" Snapped Simmons.

"All right. Pan- pan right. That's you." Called Dutch. Everyone heard Lennox over the radio comms.

"Try getting into the bridge control room."

Dutch nodded "Already doing that."

(Chicago)

"More SEALs sir." Said Adler as a sopping wet SEAL Captain appeared.

"It's a good day, boys! What do you got?" Asked Lennox.

"Ten-man SEAL unit, sir, tasked with vectoring Tomahawks…Heard we were getting some extra-terrestrial reinforcements."

Lennox chuckled "Well those reinforcements are little bit single-minded and don't really like being told what to do. The rest are scattered, trying to rally everyone together. The only one unaccounted for is my partner's wife and Autobot pair…Anyway about those Toma…"

"Fifteen, sir."

(Autobots)

Katie and Hound were hiding, they had seen about fifteen Autobots being rough handled by the Decepticons. Hound, opened his door and slowly shifted form.

Katie pulled on a heavy almost reinforced motor cyclist helmet with extra padding around the ear. She pulled out her Comms to Hound, as his gatling gun in a focused area was more than likely to make her deaf. She pulled out a miniaturised Hound Gatling gun instead of it being twelve rounds, it was triangular with three.

"GET OFF ME!" Snarled Broadside. Broadside was worse for wear, it had taken twelve Decepticons to take him down. Broadside, whilst not the best close combat fighter, was built like tank and shithouse and used every ounce of his mechanically large mass for brutal effect.

Who needs finesse when brute strength is finesse of its own. Bit like quantity being a form of quality of its own.

Sam and Carly positioned themselves in an upside down car. They were waiting to see if they could save some of the Autobots.

Lennox briefed his available assets "All right, you're gonna need your forty Mike-Mikes and frags. Go full auto. The vibrations jack up their circuits. Snipers, shoot for the eyes. All right, your target is up on top of that building, that cupola…Adler…If you have any sort of visual on Sentinel and he's in your sites for more than three seconds, think you can take him?"

"Not a problem Herr Captain. Unfortunately this iz not a veapon of subtlety. It hits like dat Apatosaurus Dinobot. Thus dodge-able but instantaneous death…It makes a din too."

Lennox nodded "Do what you can."

Sentinel observed the ongoing siege, the commanders of the human resistance were geniuses…Who had thought to make weapon suits to allow fleshlings to fight Cybertronians on almost equal terms "How doomed you are, Autobots. You simply fail to understand, that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Activating the bridge!"

The roar of the Decepticons was deafening.

(Headquarters)

"It's a 128K binary encryption code. It's difficult... but not for me, I'm in. Bridge, down." Said Dutch, a grin on his face.

(Chicago)

"Let's go!"

"The bridge is coming down! Someone's watching over us!" Exclaimed Epps, he was seriously tempted to re-join NEST. Not as fighting personnel but maybe a researcher.

"Prisoners? You're keeping prisoners?" Exclaimed Dylan, he was watching with a heavy Decepticon escort.

"Yes." Rumbled Soundwave.

"You need to teach them about respect. This was all business, but now it's personal, do you understand me?" Growled Dylan.

Soundwave cackled menacingly "Ah ha ha ha ha. I understand. No prisoners, only trophies."

Que gulped "Bee?..."

Just then Katie stepped out "DECEPTICONS! HOUND'S IN THE FIELD!" She kicked out the stand on her gatling gun, squatted, got it to her shoulder, engaged fully-auto and began opening fire.

Hound roared, and stepped around the corner, his immense bulk covering Katie from returned fire. But not obstructing her swathes of fire power.

Just then the pulsing stopped and pure energy shot into the air.

The Decepticons were caught off guard and off balance, the Autobots retaliated. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, hamstrung, drew and quartered Barricade before jointly removing his face from his body which vaporised under Katie's relentless gatling gun.

Her bullets cut down the Decepticon retinue, Dylan ducked and scrambled away. Sam took off in hot pursuit. Sam dived for cover as Soundwave collapsed his chest cavity now molten slag and riddled with bullet holes as he took the first thousand rounds of Hound's gatling gun to the face.

(Headquarters)

"Soundwave and Barricade are confirmed kills…That's numbers five, four and two down sir. Only Shockwave and Megatron to go sir…But the pulses have released that power beam."

Morshower nodded "I want some photos of that…It'll make a good story and evidence to show that there is life in the universe." He was definitely going to retire…this was too much for him. Although Colorado, Black book Administration looked VERY enticing.

(Chicago)

Unfortunately, Que, Broadside and eight of the new aerial bots were killed in the outbreak of the firefight. The Aerials because they lack experience in fighting melee to air transformations.

Que because he was simply not a fighter and Broadside because his injuries were more severe than he had let on. He had died protecting Clank who had come away with her arm removed at below the elbow and her leg just below the knee.

"Hurry you Nancy wanker. They're trigger the pillars!" Roared Leadfoot as Topspin, Roadbuster and Dustcloud worked feverishly to cut the cables.

"We're going as fast as we can you fat bastard." Growled Dustcloud.

Leadfoot resolved to punch Dustcloud at a later date, no-one could call him a Fat Bastard and get away unscathed.

(Epps et al.)

More SEALs were around the corner "Come on. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Okay, baby! You all come with us! You…Help Adler with his kit."

"Which ones…" Said the confused SEAL and then Adler turned up "You Adler?"

Adler grunted "Take, pack. This…Heavy."

The two caught up with Epps "You two, with Epps, third floor."

Lennox turned to the SEALs and NEST that Epps didn't take "We're to 45."

(Third floor)

"All right. Two snipers, right here! All right, dock up!" Ordered Lennox.

"Jump in three minutes." Said a Soldier.

Adler set up shop and he panned around for shot on Sentinel but couldn't see him. But he did have Shockwave in his sites. "I have no Sentinel…I do have Shockwave."

Lennox grunted "Take him out when we jump."

The SEAL looked in amazement "What is that?"

"Next step in combat my friend. NEST gets the cool toys and the new toys."

"Set up shop right here. I'm downstairs." "Set up." The responses came in at the same time but the descrambler worked and distributed the orders clearly.

"We got nine targets and Shockwave's the tenth…We jump when we see the signal." Ordered Lennox.

"The signal is?"

"Shockwave's either going to be dead or have a nice new hole to breathe, eat or shit out of herr." Growled Adler, his voice sound very much like the Terminator.

"Adler…Fire."

Shockwave had no chance to even acknowledge that he had been shot. He heard the whine and roar of something being charged. He turned to hit the upstart Decepticon as his optics and senses went into shock. A bright red beam of energy ripped right through his chest, it atomised his spark like a hot knife through butter. The beam carried on and tore a second Decepticon in half.

Then the jumping started. The NEST HALO Teams launched themselves out of the window and they soared towards the remaining targets.

Epps watched as the 'chutes opened. As did Crosshairs and Harry, they had been controlling the Dinobots and taking out large clusters of Decepticons around key NEST ambush sites.

"Snipers take out the eyes." Ordered Epps.

"Demo team, let's crank steel." Ordered Stone.

(Sentinel)

"Commence transport." Across the battlefield everyone looked up to see a massive red planer begin to emerge.

(Everywhere)

"GO! GO! GO! EVERYONE TAKE THEM DOWN! TAKE THEM DOWN!" Thundered Harry.

(Sam W.)

"I got to get to that pillar…I promise, I'll try and come back to you." Sam said as he rushed after Dylan.

Carly looked around and her eyes widened as Mark turned up. He was covered in rubble dust, soot and the second joint to the tips of fingers were burnt black. He hugged Carly and they took cover.

(Sentinel)

Sentinel and Optimus clashed "Get down here, Sentinel!"

"Optimus, you forget your place. I bring you Cybertron. Your home! And still you choose humanity." Growled Sentinel as he went to finish his former pupil." Thundered Sentinel in outrage.

"You were the one who taught me freedom is everyone's right. Raaaaah!" Roared the young Prime.

"I will retrigger that pillar!" Sentinel said as he deflected the initial strikes.

"Then you'll have to go through me." Retorted Optimus.

Battles raged as the resistance and the Autobots rushed the beleaguered but massive Decepticon Horde. At the front were Harry, Katie, Crosshairs and Hound riding the massive Dinobots, wands blazing, guns blasting and fire snorted.

Any sort of communications were indistinguishable as friendly Decepticon fire wiped out their allies as the sorcerers got to work. Yes they preferred to use guns but when the opportunity to work the natural elements into their defence/offence then they would.

"Shit- Dylan! Stop! Stop! No! You can't do this, okay?" Growled Sam as he rugby tackled Dylan. Just in time as a battery red laser fire tore overhead.

(Megatron)

Carly and Mark had made their way to the Leader of the Decepticons "Was it all worth it?" Carly asked as Mark kept his gun trained on Megatron.

"Obviously…He brought us Cybertron."

"All your work to bring Sentinel back and now clearly he has all the power. It's actually almost tragic…Too think it was nearly all you. You and your Decepticons finally conquering this planet, and yet, their leader won't be you!" Said Carly.

Slowly, but surely the disciple of the Fallen's anger returned. He knew what the girl was getting at "You…Lecture…Me…At…Your…Own…Peril!" He growled.

"In any minute now, you'll be nothing but Sentinel's bitch…If you don't want that. Do something about it." There was a roar and Megatron got up, jumped, kicked off the buildings and charged into the Prime Rumble.

(Sam and Dylan)

Dylan looked like hell but he had Sam at his mercy "You chose the wrong side."

Sam jerked his knee and Dylan rolled away clutching his balls. There was a sizzling sound and then nothing, in Sam's hand was his Energon blaster "No…you did."

(Sentinel, Optimus and Megatron)

Not many people saw how the fight started but lots saw how it ended. Sentinel Prime was decapitated by Megatron who was then in turn decapitated by Optimus Prime, who had lost an arm.

The survivors arrived on the bridge. Harry, Katie and Lennox grinned. The Decepticons had fought, almost conquered but lost.

"There will be days when we lose faith. Days when our allies turn against us. But the day will never come... that we forsake this planet... and its people." Said Optimus.

FINIS! THANK FUCK THAT THIS OVER…OH MY GOD…THIS WAS A PAIN TO RIGHT BUT I ENJOYED ALL OF IT. JOIN ME NEXT TIME ON TIME OF OUR CHOOSING: EXPLORATIONS
