AUTOBOT RESCUE, PART 2
(The Autobots continue to clash with Bruticus (the RID dragon guy, not the combiner). He swings a giant axe at the Aerialbots)
SILVERBOLT: Okay... I really wasn't expecting that. Fall back! Fall back!
CLIFFJUMPER: This is bad, this is bad, this is bad.
WARPATH: What tipped you off? The fact that he's chasing us?!
POWERGLIDE: (over comm) Jetfire, I don't think we can handle this guy. Should we retreat? Or just keep fighting? Jetfire?
JETFIRE: I... I don't know, Powerglide... I just don't know.
(At the High Council tower, Councilor Omicron chews out Ultra Magnus)
OMICRON: Are you suggesting, Commander... that there's a DECEPTICON in our ranks?!
ULTRA MAGNUS: According to what Nightbeat's found out, I believe so, Councilor Omicron.
OMICRON: No... I don't-- won't believe it! Even with Megatron back, the 'Cons can't break our security! Have any... suspects?
ULTRA MAGNUS: None so far, but--
RATBAT: I agree with Omicron. It is highly unlikely for the 'Cons to have infiltrated us.
[Oh, Ratbat's an Autobot here. I bet he's not secretly evil!]
ULTRA MAGNUS: But Councilor Ratbat--
RATBAT: You are dismissed, Commander.
(Autobot HQ, Magnus' office)
KUP: Meeting didn't go so well, huh?
ULTRA MAGNUS: Ugh! Don't remind me, Kup... I showed them the evidence, but Omicroin--
KUP: Omicron is a pain in the neck, pure and simple. He wouldn't believe there was spy even if it dance in front of him.
SPRINGER: That's it!
KUP: Eh?
SPRINGER: Maybe we can find a way to get Omicron to believe us!
KUP: And how do we do that?
SPRINGER: Well, the first thing we need... is the spy themself!
(Later...)
NIGHTBEAT: You're serious.
ULTRA MAGNUS: Yes.
NIGHTBEAT: Really?
ULTRA MAGNUS: Yes.
NIGHTBEAT: You're that desperate to find the spy?
ULTRA MAGNUS: Yes, I am. Do whatever you think is necessary to find him. Or her. Or even them.
[Guess I was pretty progressive given this was back in 2012...]
NIGHTBEAT: So... whatever it takes?
ULTRA MAGNUS: Correct.
NIGHTBEAT: Regardless of legality?
ULTRA MAGNUS: Except that.
NIGHTBEAT: I'm on it.
(Darkmount, Polyhex...)
ONSLAUGHT: The Autobots have retreated, Lord Straxus.
STRAXUS: Really? Are you sure? After all, we still have the sparks of their friends... and if I know the Autobots, they never give up easily.
BRAWL: ARRRGH! (He is thrown into the room and hits a wall) AGH!
ONSLAUGHT: Brawl?! What's going on?!
BRAWL: Ugh... Bruticus... he... he...
BRUTICUS: RARRGH! (He blows fire into the fortress)
BRAWL: AHH!
STRAXUS: Bruticus! What in the blazes are you doing?!
BRUTICUS: CAN'T! CONTROL! FIRE! LOSING... MYSELF!
STRAXUS: Impossible! This remote was supposed to-- (He is thrown back by Bruticus' flames) AGH! (His remote breaks) Drat!
(Nearby, the Autobots witness Bruticus' rampage)
SUNSTREAKER: Jetfire, look!
JETFIRE: Well, looks like we got ourselves a second chance! Autobots, move out!
POWERGLIDE: And awaaay we go!
(The regrouped Autobots fire on Bruticus)
BRUTICUS: Rrrrgh!
SILVERBOLT: Air Raid, Fireflight, move in! We'll hold him off!
(The two Aerialbots fly into Darkmount)
AIR RAID: Hey, Straxus!
STRAXUS: What the-?
AIR RAID: Say cheese! (He shoots him in the face while Fireflight punches Onslaught)
STRAXUS: Rargh!
ONSLAUGHT: Oof!
STRAXUS: If you have blood, prepare to shed them now! (He transforms and shoots at Fireflight but misses)
FIREFLIGHT: Um, news flash... we don't have blood.
STRAXUS: Then it is Energon that you shall bleed! (BOOM!) AHH!
BRUTICUS: Can't... handle... any... more! Must... resist... NOOO!
STRAXUS: You've left me no choice, Bruticus. I have no further use for you. (He presses a remote on his arm. In the background, Air Raid sneaks away with the captured Autobot sparks)
BRUTICUS: No! Please, master! NOOO! (He explodes)
(Lockdown watches from afar with the Diagnostic Drone Unit-791)
LOCKDOWN: Huh. That was a bold move of his. Hope Darkmount's still there when the smoke clears. So, what does Megatron need of me now?
UNIT-791: Well... it involves a place called Garrus-Nine...
(Some time later, the disembodied Autobots are placed back into their bodies and reactivated at HQ)
FIRST AID: There, good as new...
MIRAGE: Thanks, First Aid. Gee, I wonder who sliced my optics...
JETFIRE: Just be glad that you have your body. Just imagine living as a disembodied spark.
SIDESWIPE: All right! Now I know how to scare Red Alert!
JETFIRE: ... Is he always like that?
JAZZ: Yup.
(Meanwhile: Garrus-Nine, located in the Elba system)
AUTOBOT: Well, Maximus... We just brought in five Decepticon sparks, belonging to the well-known Stunticons. I'm aware you're full up on "spark prisoners"...
FORTRESS MAXIMUS: Don't worry... I have a prisoner who's been getting a bit lonely. Isn't that right... SHOCKBLAST?
(Wow there's a scary looking one-eyed Decepticon. I bet he won't be any trouble)
