Chapter 16: The Final Battle

I stretched out and looked out the window. This seemed longer then it usually took to get to Sweet Tooth. " I spy with my little eye, something yellow," I yawned, leaning back in the leather covered passenger seat of Bumblebee's smokin' 2007 Elite Bumblebee SS camaro alt. form. Sam-in the driver's seat- looked around.
" Is it that house?"
" No."
" The trash can?"
" Nada."
" Caution sign?"
" Nooooo."
" Your sword's sheath?"
I looked at Bee's back seat, and smiled at my sword laying on it, the aquamarine colored sheath keeping it perfectly intact.
"Sam, my sword's sheath is an aquamarine color, not yellow!"
Sam grinned and fiddled with the steering wheel nervously. I broke the tension between us when we entered Sweet Tooth's parking lot.
" We're here!" I announced, stepping out of Bumblebee. Sam quickly followed suite and he first entered Sweet Tooth. I was half in the door smacking my hair out of my face from the blasted wind when I saw her, and then she saw me. We locked eyes, and I slowly backed out of the store, Alexis seemed to copy my every movement backwards.
Finally, I couldn't see her anymore, but instead I heard, "This is the Police, Mexican Homie, freeze! Hands up, and on the top of your head, NOW!"
I dashed around from the east side of the building, to the south, and finally hit the west side to see Alexis running towards Last Moments Mountain Range. Why was she going there? The last guy fell of a cliff and his guts were splattered everywhere! I chased after her and the cop car after me. I turned my head just enough to see the car transform into Barricade.
" Aw scrap!" I cursed, dodging his hand. I leaned forward and tried to pick up speed, but was slowly losing speed and growing tired. Then Barricade made a snatch for me, and next thing I knew, I was strapped tight in his backseat.
" Let go of me or I swear I will rewire you to think like a femme! And you will prance around singing about unicorns, fairies, and pretty pink ponies!" I shouted at him, thrashing about. The seatbelts tightened around my waist and my chest to the point where I couldn't move.
" Unicorns?" Barricade asked, speeding up and chasing after Alexis, who was now running towards Lookout Mountain, the old abandon amusement park.
I rolled my eyes. " You know, the white horse with the golden horn on it's head that prances around all sparkly like!"
Then something amazing happened, two somethings actually. I heard a laugh from Barricade, and Bumblebee came speeding to my rescue. He transformed and smacked Barricade hard enough the seatbelts clicked off me, and I leaped out of him and quickly transformed into my robo wolf form.
" Thanks Bee, it was about time!" I snorted, rolling my shoulders. A large plasma cannon popped out, and the missile launcher on my side came out.
Bee twittered something that sounded like a laugh, and then proceeded to start fighting Barricade.
" Decepticons! To Bloody Canyon!" Barricade snarled, transforming and zooming off.
Autobots, get ready to rally at my position. I growled throught the internal comm. link.
We're coming to your aid Quickclaw, give us a breem. Arcee responded.
I kneaded the ground beneath my paws. The time was coming, my time to shine.
The Autobots showed up, and I turned to face them. By the looks of it, they had found some new ones.
I looked at the newest Autobots, Cliffjumper, Kup, Hound,Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Wheel Jack, Hot Rod, Mirage, and Blurr had joined our ranks. That now brung our tally up to 17. We had a chance against them, but not a large one...
Optimus transformed and stepped forward. " Well, where are they?"
" Bloody Canyon, I can show you the way. Your soldiers ready?" I asked, eyeing them up.
The Autobots present nodded, and then transformed. I transformed from my huge robo wolf to my black Ferrari Enzo alt. mode I decided to keep instead of the black F-22 Raptor.
Optimus transformed and opened up a private comm. link channel with me.
Are you sure your ready for a big battle? Your training is incomplete. Optimus said concerned.
I chuckled. Optimus, please. I have been living on the streets since I was little. I think I can handle a battle on my own. I had to admit, I think we both liked each other, and cared for eath other more than a friend would... or at least, that's how I felt around Optimus. I kinda... loved him.
I reved my engine, ready to go. I started off towards Bloody Canyon, ready for the fight of a lifetime... Possibly.

( Twenty minutes later)

I stood as Quickclaw on to top of Bloody canyon, and surveyed the sight below me. Optimus and a select few others, aka Sideswipe,Hot Rod, Mirage, and Sunstreaker were hiding ready to ambush the Decepticons. Ironhide, Arcee, Cliffjumper, Kup, and Hound were spread out behind numorus boulders. And the last of them, Ratchet, Jazz, Wheel Jack, Blurr, and Bumblebee, were standing in lots of cracks all around the battlefield. I stood alone on top of Bloody canyon, now all we had to do was wait.
Pit with waiting, I was in battle mode. I wanted them to come out and taste doom. NOW! I snapped out my wings and flew halfway down the cliff, hitting the wall with multiple cannon blasts. The 'Cons came swarming out like bugs.
" Autobots, ATTACK!" I howled, tucking in my wings and diving at an unsuspecting Decepticon. I spiraled down at him, my cannon whirring to life and blasting my victims below. Wheel Jack threw a little bomb out onto the field, and I turned skyward and pumped my wings furiously, gaining height for another attack. The bomb exploded and the fire swirled at my hind legs. I pumped my wings faster and turned around, spying the battle in full action, mulitple cons already died or dieing. The Autobots were fighting their hardest, now was my time. I turned my nose downward and tucked my wings in, plummiting to the battle below me.
I pulled up at the last possible second as the Decepticon Seekers took to the air. I felt the blazing heat of my missile launcher warming up at my side, and fired some shots. I clipped Ramjet and Skywarp's wings, sending them earth bound. I growled a bloody thirsty, venomus growl and started a hand to paw combat with Thundercracker. He punched at my head, I ducked and latched my canines into his wing, then started shaking my head, breaking off chunks of metal, and he too, fell earthward.
I turned and my optics brightened with hunger as I saw Starscream in his alt. mode zooming towards me. " You may be stronger in that mode, but I'm faster!" he cackled. He then released a AIM-9 Sidewinder missile straight at me. I growled and hovered in the missile's path for a second, before darting sideways and snatching the missile in my jaws. I then lashed my head around and the missile fired back at Starscream who shot it down with his 20mm cannon.
I snarled and pumped my wings, putting on a speed burst not even I was ready for. Within seconds I was clutching the nose of Starscream's alt. form in my jaws, and I swung myself onto the back of the Raptor and dug my claws in. Starscream screeched and went super sonic. I grasped the neck of the F-22 tightly in my jaws, my claws digging in the body of it to keep from falling or losing my grasp. I looked down and my ultimate anger was instantly unleashed.
Optimus lay dieing on the battle field, Megatron standing over him, his sword lifted above his head. I let go of Starscream and kicked off him and tucked my wings in, diving down faster then 180 mph. I roared loudly and prepared myself for the impact of my body hitting Megatron's, which came faster then expected.
Metal hit metal, and we were both sent flying away from Optimus. I kicked off Megatron and sent him flying into a boulder, which shattered upon impact. " You made a mistake messing with Optimus Prime!" I snarled, showing my canine's, Starscream's energon dripping a deep blue from them.
Megatron stood up and cackled. " Your nothing but his lap dog!" Megatron snarled back, slapping his hands together to form his cannon. Mine fired up and we both relased a shot at the same time. The bullets collided, and we ran at each other. I snapped out my wings and soared over his head, then flipped around and shot towards him.
I collided into his head, and started snapping and biting everything I could get my jaws on. At one point, I snapped one of his optics. Then he had the upper hand. He whipped his arms back, I was caught off guard and sent hurtiling into the cliff right next to Optimus's almost lifeless body. I staggered up, badly injured. It killed me to see him laying there, and I knew I had nothing more to live for.
I weakly stepped onto his chest, and my chest plates weakly slid apart, I have no idea what happened next, all I know is I collasped, giving up- what I thought- all my life so he could live, then my world went dark.

My internal systems slowly onlined, and I came back to my senses to hear Optimus Prime whisper " You were like another part of me Halie, we will never forget you, are young Autobot ."
" And I will never forget you," I whispered. Okay, Now I knew I was in love with him, what could I say?
Optimus Prime lifted his head and looked at me. He smiled broadly when he saw I was alive. I smiled back then coughed. I saw all the other Autobots's heads snap up at the sound of my voice. Optimus gave me a quick but loving hug, and set me on my paws.
" Halie!" all the Autobots cheered I smiled and threw up my head, and gave a long, low, happy howl.
" Let's go back home," Optimus annouced. I shook my head, time for these guys to meet their human allies.
" Why not?"
" We're going to Mission City, there's a few...humans I want you guys to meet," I barked, smiling. Optimus smiled and nodded, then we transformed and drove our war torn selves out of Bloody canyon, that had truely livin up to it's name.
As I noticed with all the Autobots that were to become my family, we all had are diferences, that was true, but as long as the Autobots stood, nothing could pull us apart. My name is Halie Witwicky, some may know me as Quickclaw, others will come to know me by Shadow Stalker, but our many names, nor even our past matter to us. Because it's our courage, that drives us to the maximum.
