1 Enraging War

Praxus City:

Emergency Alarm was ringing aloud, Everyone in the Headquarters was hurrying around. Optimus Prime rushed through the corridors and reached the command center, "What's the status report, Perceptor?"

Perceptor explained the situation, "Decepticons have opened fire in the Ankmor Park. Ultramagnus and the Wreckers along with others are holding the lines. They require more backup as soon as possible"

"Alright...Autobots! It's time to ROLL OUT!!!" yelled Optimus

"Okay, I'll send The Knights behind you" said Perceptor.

Optimus hurried and jumped off the rooftop of the vastly tall Headquarters, and transformed into an alienish red and blue Jet, followed by several other Autobots and battleships. It was time of Dusk beginning to take over the sunlight, situation at the Ankmor Park was very intense, Autobots and Decepticons were shooting at each other, their ships were raining volleys of shots from the sky. Autobot soldiers, while cover behind obstacles, were returning fire to Decepticons. Wreckers (Ultramagnus, Springer, BulkHead, Leadfoot, Topspin, Breakthrough, Impactor, Roadbuster) ,special autobot squad known for using weapons of obliteration, were unleashing firepower on the Decepticons taking while Protectobots (Hotspot, Boulder, Blades, Streetwise, Groove, RedAlert, Medix being the major figures) were doing their casual job, evacuating the injured soldiers for medical aid. Orange Dusk sky was glowing with shots flying by. Ultramagnus looked up in the sky and saw Optimus arriving and shouted, "Autobots! Hold strong. Backup is arriving"

Upon reaching the battleground, Optimus transformed midair and pulled staff-like rod from sides of his shoulders and shook them, and then nanites (nanoparticles; cybertronian cells) formed axe-blades attached to the handle and he swirled and literally 'landed' a furious head strike on a decepticon below and rushed ahead, slicing several decepticons into pieces, nanite blades disappeared for Optimus to put back the handles where they were and took out his blaster to counter-fire any other engaging decepticons. Then, a powerful shot, hued with the color of purple, landed past Optimus.

Then a sound came from dark shadows under the debris, "Here you are, Optimus, closer to your doom, don't your fear this fight can result into your demise?" , followed by an evil laugh which echoed through the battlefield while a large figure emerged from the shadows.

"Still too early, Megatron, to determine whose demise it might be"

"Oh Prime! Too much recklessness for your life." said Megatron

Megatron is just a decepticon who would you never be willing to encounter even in the craziest of nightmares. He has a bit of warriorly honour, but once he has dominated you in the battle; which he'll surely do with his sheer power, toughness and mastery in battle tactics; he'll make you feel the of purest of pain, fear and terror which your spark or soul will shaking from the inside and he'll show you no mercy and rip you apart with maximum cruelty and you would wish you were never born .

Meanwhile, up in the sky, there came a squad of Autobots called the The Knights, bots so big and tall, even Optimus Prime measuring himself was barely to their chest level, and they transformed into mysterious beast forms, forms which were unfamiliar for the residents of Cybertron, but for us they would translate into dinosaurs. The Knights lack the ability to change their Alternative Mode due to lack of Spark in them, which may also be the reason that they are virtually immortal and have survived through the tides of age for quite a long time, maybe even the days of first primes as some legends suggest, though lack of spark also resulted in their very limited memory and they've forgotten most of their past beyond three to four million years ago.

As the Knights reached the land, they cooled their thrusters and transformed into their beast forms and started tearing through the Decepticons.

"King Grimlock will crush you all!" the Knight leader (T-Rex) yelled, proceeding to fire powerful energy blasts from his mouth. Grimlock, the leader, is a bot who has unmatched arrogance, even by the Decepticon standards, he'd always be pleased to shamelessly use 'King' as adjective to his name. Knight called Scorn (Spinosaurus) is a seasoned warrior who is always ready to wreak havoc with his axes and swords. Although he is the one you'd like confront least even if he's your friends because much he's skilled at slaughtering his opponent, more he's skilled at disrespecting anyone anywhere anytime he likes, be it Grimlock , Optimus or anyone else. Slug (Triceratops) is always the one to rush a ram through the enemies due to fact he has pretty formidable protection, be it the tough structure of head in beast form or his shield in the protoform He like a person who never initiates any mess, but he is the most willing person to join fight created by others. He would sit quite for a bit, observe and fight alongside the person who's winning yet the reason he isn't a Decepticon is he's good by spark . Slog (Brontosaurus) is obedient companion of Grimlock, he does everything Grimlock says the way he would expect, mostly it means crushing down the enemies. In the beast form, Slog has the 'earthquakers' in forelegs which uses by lifting the legs up and smash them down, doing so he sends the force through the ground shaking everything in significant radius feel the earthquake which could even crack the ground if was made of rock, in case . Strafe (Pteranodon) is a very frightening phenomenon in the sky. His precision and skill in tearing through the skies and performing moves and tricks is unparalleled. Under his wings are clusters of small thrusters and a pair of big thrusters as well as he can spawn two miniguns under the wings and Strafe out the target with high accuracy. Despite this terrifying character, he is quite a nice guys who would friends with anyone who he thinks is not evil.

They all went wild on Decepticons. Strafe went to fire upon Decepticon ships flying over and crashing some while distracting others allowing other Autobots to come open and fire back. Slug rammed through several Decepticons shooting energy bolts from his horn-blaster, his horns form a pincer gun which shoots energy blasts which are quite quick and fly about 3 times faster than typical Energy shots. Grimlock did what he does best, biting off Decepticons in half, and even she swallowed heads two or three. Then he picked up a Decepticon with grip of his jaws and tossed him up. Slog earthquaked the ground and transformed into protoform and smashed Decepticons with his heavy hammers. While Scorn threw tantrum at the Decepticons with blade and axe dance.

Roadbuster, Impactor and Breakthrough we're raining the might of their miniguns. While Bulkhead and Leadfoot showed the power of their heavy guns making the scrap out of their targets.

On the other side of battlefield, The leaders of the factions were about to engage in a energon-spilling battle. Both transformed into jet modes and thrusted towards each other and transformed and mutually clashed their punch; they both recoiled back and crashed down.

"Today's gonna be your last fight, Prime!"

"Exactly the statement I've heard every other time we met"

"This time, I'll assure you it is true!" shouted Megatron as he fired a massive blast of energy at Optimus, projecting him away. As Optimus crashed on the ground, Megatron rushed towards him, unsheathed his blade from his right forearm, and jumped, intending for the swift attack to impale his slightly dazzled rival straight through the head. However, Optimus processed Megatron coming, he took out a blade from his left forearms and acted quickly as Megatron's blade just came near his head, his blade striked Megatron's and he held his arm with the right arm and kicked Megatron with right leg, redirecting Megatron's momentum to throw him away, causing the Decepticon leader to fumble and crash across the ground

"Nice trick, Prime!"

"You should remember it, Megatron. You were the one who taught me it."

Meanwhile, Starscream came flying and screaming, "Decepticons charge!!!"

And a large army of Decepticon soldiers and ships entered the battlefield to counter the incoming Autobot backup.

In the middle of raining shots were Megatron and Optimus battling. Punching, kicking, throwing and shooting at each other while occasionally taking cover from the continuous firing, both were engaging on each other with full spirit in fight of axes, blasters, chained flail.

As the dusk grew darker, continuously arriving back up of Decepticons made Autobots to realize they were being overwhelmed. Ultramagnus connected to Optimus through comlink and said, "Optimus, we need to retreat, we won't last much."

Optimus agreed and ordered Autobots, " Autobots retreat!"

"RETREAT? I guess 'Flee' is a better word", Megatron mocked, "Yeeesss!!!" And laughed as Autobots 'fled' the battlefield, "Run Prime run. That's all you can do now." Megatron spelled his last mock as Autobots transformed and flew back from the battlefield taking cover from the darkness of the dusk. The Ankmor Park now merged with Decepticon territory. While Megatron returned to the Decepticon Fortress at Altihex with another victory, Optimus Prime had to retreat from the battlefield with another defeat.
