Quick release :)
=====================
John followed the Autobots to the nearby Air Base with Optimus's body. Just when they arrived they were surrounded by the soldiers in their humvees.
"What is the meaning of this?" Sideswipe took out his blades in preparation to retaliate
"YOU DARE POINT A GUN AT ME?" Ironhide angrily pointed his weapons towards the soldiers, still upset over Optimus's death. "YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME? I WILL TEAR YOU APART"
Lennox was alarmed and quickly tried to order the soldiers to lower their weapons. The other NEST soldiers also join in to protect the Autobots.
John only glanced at the weapons the soldiers were pointing at him before taking out a grenade and a pistol. He knew nothing would happen but it is appropriate to be ready in case something unexpected happens. John wasn't worried in the slightest, the 50cal. on their humvees could barely damage his outer armor.
It was actually quite stupid, if they were to have a fight, the entire base would be wiped out in a second. Sure, 50 cal. rounds would work against Cybertronians but it would not be effective in a fight against four Autobots. Just one Blackout could wipe an entire special operations base out in not even 10 minutes. Ironhide's weapons would immediately pulverize all of them in a second. If they were to put up a fight, at least have tanks with them, that way they could say that they tried.
As for that idiot who said they will take care of the Decepticon threat with their military and strategies, John was really tempted to kill him right there and then.
"This fool is terribly misinformed" Ratchet couldn't help but say
"You will need every asset that you got" Lennox tried to convince the idiot
"What we need is to draw battle plans. We will explore every possible diplomatic solution" The idiot stayed firm to his belief that America can win without the Autobots.
John's hands were itching to pull the trigger on his pistol. But he didn't as he doesn't want to make things worse, at least not in broad daylight. 'Should I send someone to kidnap him later?' John thought to himself 'Killing him seems too easy, let's make him spend the rest of his life in a mine'
"I don't like that man, he's an asshole," Epps told Lennox
As the idiot left, Ratchet voiced his displeasure. "Ironhide we should leave this planet"
"But that is not what Optimus would want" Ironhide answered
John rolled his eyes at that statement. Although partially true, Ironhide just wants a good fight.
Ironhide then turned to John "what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to find the kid" John activated his thrusters and flew off into the distance
Not long after he left, they got a call from Simmons requesting backup.
"Alice, I need their location" John requested
[I've just hacked into the American satellite over Africa, I pulled up their approximate location on your display. Be careful, the Decepticons have also found them]
"Bring in two squads of our men along with air support. Have our pilots gotten used to their new Titans yet?"
[We have only four Titans ready for deployment]
"Four is enough, I don't want to risk any more of them in this battle"
John has his own reservations about this battle, The Fallen is a bit overpowered with his telekinetic powers, which is why he only called over 2 squads and four Titans.
[NEST forces are making their way to Egypt right now]
"Alice-"
John's words were cut off as his display became red.
[WARNING: UNKNOWN ENERGON SIGNATURES DETECTED]
[13...14....15... ENERGON SIGNATURES DETECTED]
[WARNING: 32 ENERGON SIGNATURES DETECTED]
[Boss, be careful I just have detected 32 Decepticons entering the lower atmosphere]
"32? that's still doable," John said with relief "I expected more-"
[WARNING: 46 ENERGON SIGNATURES DETECTED...]
[BOSS, AN ADDITIONAL 69 DECEPTICONS HAVE BEEN DETECTED]
"Fuck" John cursed "Have the troops garrisoned in the Red Sea prepare for battle, get the railguns online"
[I also deployed fifty scorpion tanks and the dozen Quinjets we have in the armory as support]
A Decepticon drop pod fell right next to him and John immediately dodged.
(A/N: IDK what to call the pods)
'Activate boosters to 200%'
John's speed increased by four times. When he got away from the drop zone, John turned around and saw the massive asteroid-like objects crashing into the sandy ground below.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Alarms rang as the mech detected six rockets.
John grabbed his pistols and began shooting the rockets approaching him.
BOOOM BOOM BOOOOM
He intercepted three rockets but it only blocked his sight.
'Activate targetting mechanisms'
Three targets appeared on his screen through the smoke. He shot at them quickly and swiftly.
BOOOOOM
Three rockets exploded at the same time, the heat and shrapnel ruined the paint job on the mecha. The explosion left half the face black, giving it a dangerous vibe. John began looking around for the one who targetted him. He soon saw Starscream in the distance along with Bumblebee, the twins, and Jax on the road. It was only then that NEST had arrived with the Autobots.
.....
Far away, Sam saws the robot flying in the sky.
"What the hell?" Simmons looked at the robot and swallowed "That's not a Decepticon is it?"
Bumblebee didn't respond and only continued to bring everyone towards the giant robot. Bumblebee didn't have time to answer as time was running out, they're surrounded from all sides.
Just a minute ago, there were a hundred meteorites falling around them and four massive explosions in the sky. Now there is a giant robot in the sky staring at them eerily.
A flare soon flew into the sky behind the robot.
"It's Lennox!" Simmons saw hope and they began to silently celebrate.
Unfortunately, their celebration was short-lived as Starscream rained down missiles and bombs down, forcing them to divert their path into the quarry nearby.
