Chapter 6: Ultimatum

(Venom is seen terrorizing a street in San francisco, causing the phoenix to swoop down, roaring in pure rage)

Venom: I knew you'd find me here, Fiametta...!

Fiametta: You...!! This time there will be no interference!  I'll destroy you...here and NOW! *Charges at Venom from above and the battle between them began*

(In another area of San Francisco were the Combaticons; Brawl, Vortex, Swindle, Onslaught and Blast off the newly rebuilt Lockdown and the Warrior of the Storm, witnessing the battle between the two femmes.)

Onslaught: Man, I've always wanted to see these two tear each other apart! uhhh...remind me where did Megatron go?

Lockdown: He's off to find the location of Trion's scepter, somewhere in Los Angeles.

(the newly rebuilt mercenary locates a certain red and blue flaming truck driving in the highway along with his autobots)

Lockdown: And it seems we have guests...especially... My Trophy. (jumps from rooftop to rooftop)

Onslaught: I dunno about you, but I'm with him!

Brawl: I like the guy already.

(the Combaticons transform and follow Lockdown towards Optimus and the Autobots. Brawl transforms into a tank and starts firing at Optimus' direction. The already transformed Shannon Morgan quickly exits as Optimus transforms into his robot mode, and lands on a car. only realizing there are two people inside.)

Shannon: Oops, sorry!! you gotta get out of here now!

(the two humans exit and run in terror.)

Swindle: (upon spotting Shannon) well,well, we meet again, Human!

Shannon: Swindle!

Brawl: It's been a long time since the Shadowcons and the Reborn Fallen years ago! time for a little.... payback! (slams his fists together)

Bumblebee: Brawl!

Onslaught: I'm gonna get you two for the junkyard battle!

Drift: (Pulls out his swords) Onslaught...!

Crosshairs: we're gonna kick your ass a second time, mate! better prepare yourself!

Blast Off: Don't think you can get away with what you did to me on Cybertron weeks ago! I'll teach you Autobots a lesson!

Hound: we're gonna blast you off again! get it? Blast off? Blast you OFF? Ugh...nevermind, you get what I'm saying. (smokes a cigar while pulling out his machine gun)

Vortex: do not underestimate the Might of the Combaticons! you have no idea what we're capable of!

Hot Rod: Then we will just have to find out!

Bumblebee: Optimus, we got this. go get Fiametta!

(Optimus  and Shannon go after Fiametta and Venom, with Jolt Drive, Cade Yeager, Neonlight and Andromeda following along.)

Sideswipe: Get your ass out of my way! if you know what's best for you!

(Sideswipe and Dino take on Blast Off, Drift and Crosshairs take on Onslaught a second time, Bumblebee and Hot Rod take on Brawl, Hound and Chromia take on Swindle.  with the help of their human friends, Hazel Yeager with her sword and shield.  Vivian Wembley with her increased Magic abilities passed down from her ancestor, Merlin, and Izabella's new fighting moves  she learned from Cogman's instructions  on how to take on Giant Robots. moments later, Optimus manages to reach an enraged Fiametta who battles the very monster who made her life a living hell.)

((note: Vivian's magic abilities are a reference to Marvel's Scarlet Witch))

Optimus: Fiametta, STOP!

Fiametta: Leave me alone!! This is just between ME and Her!

Venom: She's right,  Prime~ better stay out of this and watch how your sister DIES!

Neonlight: C-Carrier...! (with an already terrified look on her face)

(Cade's Talisman transforms into the sword, Excalibur)

Cade: we can't let her go on like this... otherwise It'll happen like last time. 

Optimus: .....

(Optimus pulls out his sword of Judgement and charges at Venom to help his sister.)

Fiametta: BROTHER! I told you to stay out of this!!

Optimus: You...do not have to do this alone!

Fiametta: tch...

(Fiametta looked at Her Brother with a slight glare. he is always so stubborn.)

Cade:  Shannon, Jolt Drive, Neon, Andy, you go with me.

(the five ran to help people evacuate from the area...when suddenly... the Warrior of the Storm Appears once again.)

Shannon: You again!

the Man: ....

Shannon: (pulls out her sword of Justice)

The Man: This time I will Kill you...traitor of humanity!

(Traitor of Humanity...those were the words that Shannon is not very used to hear)

Cade: Shan, he's only trying to trick you. (points Excalibur at him) we'll take  on this freak together! 

(the Warrior of the Storm charges at the two Knights, clashing their weapons at each other. Shannon then threw two  energon shockers at his metal hand paralyzing it, only for the man to pull them out. 

Shannon: (to the humans) GO!! Get out of here!!

(the Man pulls out a shot gun and starts shooting at the Half Cybertronian Female and at the Last Knight. one of the bullets hit Cade's shoulder, causing him to groan in pain.)

Cade: ARGH!! (grabs his shoulder) Ugh...!

Shannon: CADE!!

(Cade hides behind a car putting down Excalibur, grabbing his bleeding shoulder)

Cade: that guy's a freakin' ninja!

(Cade spots the Masked half cybertronian man pointing his shot gun at him)

Cade: Shit!!

(Shannon is seen running towards the man, locking on her battle mask and with a loud battle cry jumps high and kicks his face before he could shoot cade. The Man got up and shot at Shannon, who manages to activate a silver and blue metal shield, and block his bullets.)

Shannon: Cade, stay behind me!


(Shannon activates her upgraded energon arm blades, as the warrior of the storm pulls out a dagger from his pocket. they clashed once more and gazed into each other's glowing eyes. blue eyes against lavender eyes. Although the man manages to gain the upper hand, the Human Knight activates her Angel wings and flew upwards, grabbing him by the neck and slamming him on the ground with such powerful force, leaving him weakened. )

Shannon: Better say your prayers, Creep!

The Man: ....

(Shannon slowly pulls the scarf off of the Man's face, which...made her eyes wide open in pure disbelief... She KNEW who he was just by looking at his unmasked face.)

Shannon:  

(the man just stared at Shannon with such a cold emotionless glare written in his eyes)

Shannon: Aiden...?! 

Aiden: ....
Shannon: No...No...No,No,No...  I...I do not understand... (retracts her mask) this...this has to be a mistake...this has to be a lie.... right...? right...? 

Neonlight: S-Shannon...?

Aiden: It's real...it's all real, Shannon...

(Shannon was beyond shaken, she drops her sword to the ground...Aiden...is the warrior of the storm)

Shannon: Why...why would you of all people...?

Aiden: It would have been better if you never knew of this. but now that you know the identity behind my mask...It's better if I'd just kill you...!

Shannon: What...?!

(Aiden, Unmasked activates his arm blade, which Shannon manages to block with her own hands)

Shannon: (in disbelief) Why, Aiden?! WHY!?

Aiden: Ever since your father died, I grew deep hatred towards the Decepticons....and after the Battle in Chicago years ago, I lost my fiancee, the woman I loved! these...these Aliens, they took everything away from me! they even took YOU, My NIECE... away from me! and ever since then, I desire nothing more....than to wipe THEM out of the face of this Planet forever!

Shannon: You mean the Autobots... or the Decepticons ...?!

Aiden: ALL OF THEM!!! (Throws Shannon towards a car)

(Shannon layed on the top of the car, groaning in pain from the force Aiden put into that throw)

Aiden: And anyone who sides with them...will be killed by ME! They brought their war to our world! their war KILLED everything we loved! EVERYTHING!

Shannon: Aiden...don't do this, please... not all of them are as evil as humans tell you they are...

Aiden: LIES!! (attempts to cut off her head with his arm blade, which she manages to dodge) You don't even know the amount of pain I felt ever since those hellish days in Chicago!! not when I saw HER Die in front of me! TRF and Cemetery wind should have continued onwards in killing all cybertronians. and I am Here to fulfill their original purpose!

Shannon: (seeing a Midnight Scorpion badge on his waist) You're with Midnight Scorpion, aren't you...? why are you even here?

Aiden: To take you Home with me!

Shannon: I have no Home...! Not among the humans...!


(as they both clash their weapons)

Shannon: You think...I don't know what it feels to lose everyone you cared about...?! You think I don't know what it's like to live in a path of darkness, filled with so much fear, Hatred and Revenge...??

Aiden: But your pain...is not as great as MINE!!

Shannon: The Autobots...! are the only family I have left! other than them, I have nobody else to call my family...!

Aiden: Hmph... persistent little girl, alright. it seems that the rumors were true after all. you TRAITOR!!

(Kicks Shannon so hard in the chest, her spark casing almost shatters, causing her to cough out blood.)

Andromeda: M-MOMMY!!

Neonlight: SHANNON!! Are you alright?! 

(the Sparklings held the human Knight, who was holding unto her nearly shattered spark casing.)

(Cade pulls out his sword gun and started shooting at Aiden, who manages to dodge the bullets and jumps out of the scene and back into the shadows.)

JD: Hey, Are you alright?

Shannon: I...I'm fine...My chest kind of hurts from that kick... (moves her hand away as electric surges emit from her damaged spark casing)

Cade: Come on, Let's get you out of here...

Aiden: *via comm link* Lockdown, do your part...

(Lockdown is seen on top of a building, having his face transforming into a smaller Gun, and aimed it at Optimus and Fiametta's direction. and shot green paralyzing lasers. the first and second hit Fiametta's wings, the third, Fourth and Fifth hit his main target: Optimus Prime)

Trickster: FIA!!

Hazel: Prime!!

(the two primes laid on the ground from the shots they received. Shannon, despite her injuries rushes to the two, but falls on her knees in exhaustion)

Optimus: S-Shannon...?

Fiametta: What are you...?

Shannon: Nevermind me! you have to get out of here...!

Venom: Well, well...it seems that our friend here finally decided to make his move.

Shannon: who are you talking abo- (she turns to see a  large tall figure, which made her eyes to widen in fear and terror)

(low and behold, there he was, walking up to the three with these menacing green optics...it was an old enemy, who never ceased to haunt Shannon's mind, and one of the main causes of her descent into darkness months ago.)


Lockdown: We meet again, Prime...

Shannon: Lockdown...! 

Optimus: ...?!

Fiametta: I-Impossible...

Lockdown: what can I say? it's good to be back online...

(it was then, the Autobots and the Decepticons stop fighting when they look at the mercenary before them. the Autobots were in disbelief to see the one who hunted down most of their friends. Especially Dino, Sideswipe, Bumblebee, Drift, Crosshairs, Hound and Hazel.)

Hazel: That Motherf*cker's back?!

Crosshairs: You've got to be kidding me...!

Hound:

Onslaught: ohhh, prepare to meet your doom, Autobots! Our friend's gonna mess you up!

Lockdown: (looks at Onslaught) Friend? who said I was your ''friend''? You never change...Autobots, Decepticons, all like little ignorant children, fighting to gain superiority in the cosmos.
the only reason I'm here is to do what needs to be done. not for you, and especially not for low life species such as humans.

Fiametta: *glares at Lockdown*

(Lockdown gazes at the two Primes, disgusted by their resolve to protect humanity, even after all the pain they endured because of them. he then gazes at A familiar human, who was so loyal to the cause of the Autobots, she would have died protecting them. he smirks when he senses fear in her eyes, as she was sweating very hard.)

Shannon: (puts her hands on her mouth as she is breathing heavily) Jesus, not again...!

Fiametta: S-Shannon??

(Shannon is having a major anxiety attack. the sight of Lockdown reborn made her paralyzed with terror. these horrific nightmares began to haunt her once more. Fiametta was greatly worried for the human, as well as Optimus. he had never seen her so...afraid.)

Lockdown: It seems that I may have left an Impression in your being, Human. the strong always get what they want...just like a hunter, going after his prey.

Shannon: S-Stay back...!!

JD: Hey, Creeper! you wanna mess with my friends, you better go through me first! 

(Lockdown stares at Jolt Drive who jumps up high in the air, activating her poisoned arm blades to hit him. only for him to grab her wrist and throw her to a building.)

Dino: Mia Stella!! (rushes to his cousin)

Lockdown: hmm... (notices the two Sparklings and quickly grabs them by their helms)

Neonlight: AHHH!!! CARRIER!!

Andromeda: M-MOMMY! SIRE!!


Fiametta: L-Let them GO!!

Optimus: (fearing for his child) Leave them out of this, Lockdown!!

Lockdown: Oh I would let the little ones go... if you go with us.

Shannon: Where exactly...?

Lockdown: Back to our base...! and if you retaliate, they will not see the light of day again...! we have just discovered the location of Your hideout, and we will not hesitate to come and burn it down! but to make things more easier to you I am giving you one day to decide. no later than one day should suffice, lest you will watch all your Autobots turn to scrap before you. (drops the sparklings to the ground and began to walk away.) Come on, Decepticons. our job here is done...

(Venom, and the Combaticons follow the Mercenary as they went back to base. Fiametta glared at Venom, as Optimus glared at Lockdown. the bots and the humans watch as their enemies leave. Optimus, Fiametta and Shannon were given one day to decide...to turn themselves in to the decepticons and midnight scorpion, or let them come and watch  as the Autobots die one after another...? Guardian Prime is seen in his ''throne'' smirking.)

Guardian: Excellent...everything is going according to our plan...
