BATTLE OF CYBERTRON, PART 2
(Opens up at the Autobots base- the crashed ship Ark- on Earth, with Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ratchet, and Wheeljack hanging around, having just received a call for help from Jetfire)
Optimus Prime: Wheeljack, are we able to take off?
Wheeljack: Not yet, Prime. Engine power is still recovering.
Optimus Prime (sighs): Fine, but hurry. Jetfire needs us.
Wheeljack: I'm trying!
(Outside, the Ark's engines come to life while the Decepticon Laserbeak watches)
Wheeljack: Got it!
(As the Ark takes off, Laserbeak contacts the other Decepticons)
Laserbeak: Laserbeak to base. Autobot ship taking off.
(Scene shifts to the Decepticons at the crashed Nemesis)
Soundwave: Lord Megatron, Laserbeak has reported. The Autobots have taken off to Cybertron.
Starscream: And, let me guess... we won't follow them! I suggested we actually head to Cybertron, but no! You send Scorponok and Shockwave to do your dirty work! See why I should lead?
Megatron: No. (Megatron grabs Starscream by the neck)
Starscream: Hurk!
Megatron: I'm either blind or you're stupid. I prefer the latter.
Starscream: Ack....
(Megatron lets go of the Seeker, tossing him to the floor)
Starscream: Ahh!
Megatron: Soundwave, prepare the Nemesis.
(In space, the Ark approaches Cybertron and its moons)
Wheeljack: Cybertron, ten light beams away. Jetfire, this is Wheeljack. Come in!
(On Moonbase One, Jetfire and his team are fighting Decepticons)
Jetfire: Jetfire here.
Wheeljack (over communicator): Status?
Jetfire: On Moonbase One, with 'cons coming in fast!
Wheeljack (over communicator): And the Wreckers?
Jetfire: They were at Kaon, but I've lost contact.
(Back on the Ark)
Optimus Prime: Ironhide, Trailbreaker, see to Impactor and the Wreckers. Hound, Mirage, Bumblebee, head to Darkmount and free Perceptor's group. Wheeljack, send the Ark to Moonbase One.
Wheeljack: Right.
Ironhide: What about you, Prime?
Optimus Prime: I'm going to Moonbase Two.
(Meanwhile, the Nemesis leaves Earth and goes after the Ark. Megatron, Soundwave, and the Seekers speak with Shockwave on a video screen)
Megatron: Shockwave, report.
Shockwave (on video creen): Kaon and Darkmount have been cleared of Autobots.
Megatron: Excellent. Prepare for my arrival.
(Back on Moonbase One, Jetfire's team continue fighting the Decepticons. Jetfire fires at one of them.)
Generic #1: Argh!
Generic #2: Aerial Assault Team, attack!
(Three Decepticon jets fly up, led by an original character named Vinebreaker (which would only make sense, if, y'know, he had something to do with vines))
Vinebreaker: Airstriker, Windspeed! Forward!
Airstriker or Windspeed: Roger, Vinebreaker.
(Jetfire fires at Airstrikes, presumably killing or severely wounding him)
Airstriker: Yeagh!!
Vinebreaker: Airstriker! Windspeed, get the Autobot!
(Windspeed transforms into robot mode and lands to confront Jetfire)
Windspeed: You're going down, Autobrat!
Jetfire (aiming his gun): Oh, please.... (Jetfire fires his weapon but Windspeed evades the attack by transforming back into jet mode. He then shoots at Jetfire)
Jetfire: Agh!
(Swerve suddenly arrives, transforming into robot mode)
Swerve: Hang on, Jetfire!
Jetfire: Swerve! No!
Windspeed (back in robot mode, firing at Swerve): Heh!
(Swerve gets hit and is sent flying back)
Swerve: Ah!
Jetfire: SWERVE!
Vinebreaker (over communicator): Windspeed, regroup!
Windspeed: Yes, sir! (The Decepticon jet transforms and takes off)
(In space, the Ark orbits Moonbase One)
Wheeljack: Jetfire? Status?
Jetfire (over communicator): I'm fine, but Swerve needs help!
Wheeljack: Ratchet, get down there!
Ratchet: Right!
(Down on Cybertron, Ironhide and Trailbreaker take part in the battle of Kaon)
Ironhide (firing at Decepticons): Trailbreaker, move out!
Trailbreaker (in alt mode): Right!
(Trailbreaker drives off, sneaking into Scorponok's base, and then transforms to robot mode)
Trailbreaker: Impactor? Springer? Anyone?
SFX: BLAM!
Trailbreaker (narrowly avoiding the attack): Whoa!
(Scorponok appears) Scorponok: Hello, dead-bot.
Trailbreaker: Scorponok!
(Scorponok fires again, blasting the Autobot away) SFX: BLAM!
Scorponok (transforming into his scorpion mode): Now to finish you off....
SFX: BAM! (A blaster bolt narrowly misses Scorponok)
Scorponok: Eh? (transforms) Oh, slag
??? (off-panel): Hey, Scorpion Man!
(A group of Autobots, led by Mirage and including Perceptor's group, stand before Scorponok)
Mirage: Can we join in?
(The Autobots unleash their firepower at Scorponok)
Scorponok: Argh!
(Outside, Ironhide stands over a dead Decepticon)
Ironhide: Darn Decepticons....
??? (off-panel): Ironhide!
(Ironhide turns to see Trailbreaker and the others leaving Scorponok's base)
Trailbreaker: I've found the others! Let's go!
(The Autobots board their ship and takes off while Scorponok's fire after them, but to no avail)
Ironhide: Wheeljack, we've got Impactor and Perceptor's group.
Wheeljack (over communicator): Good. Come aboard!
(Later, on the Ark, Wheeljack speaks with Optimus Prime over video-screen)
Wheeljack: Optimus, we've rescued all of Jetfire's group.
Optimus Prime: Good. Grimlock and I am about to leave Moonbase Two. Get ready for our return.
Wheeljack: Understood, Prime. (He then walks over to Ratchet) How's Swerve?
Ratchet: He'll live.
Teletraan-1: Incoming transmission.
Wheeljack: Display, Teletraan-1.
(Hot Shot's face appears on the video-screen)
Hot Shot: This is Hot Shot calling from Nebulos! We're- *zkkk!* heavy fire!
(The signal cuts out. The Autobots stare in shock)
Wheeljack: Not good.
Ratchet: Since when is it ever?
