Jetstream: A Transformers Story

Sam, Epps, and his NEST friends assembled themselves in a convoy of cars and drove to Chicago. They had no idea what they were up against and upon arriving there; they knew that they were way out of their depth. The Decepticons ruled the skies with their fighter ships stopping any aircraft from getting to the city to give the humans a visual on what was going on. Decepticons crawled around every corner shooting humans on sight. One thing was clear, the Cons were in charge.

The convoy of vehicles stopped at the edge of the city as men, women and children made their way out of the city. They spotted a ring of ships hovering around the city and knew that they would be dead if they decided to drive in. The men stepped out their cars in shock; the city was in utter chaos. Smoke rose from the distance, people ran for their live with what little they could carry, things were not looking good.

"O hell naw. I'm not going in there. No way" Stone said.

"My God. We came here to find her in the middle of that?" Epps asked again. The task ahead of them was daunting.

"I'm not going in there" Eddie said.

"No one goes in" Epps added.

"Carly is in there and if she is there, then I'm going" Sam answered with absolute resolve.

While the humans were discussing the next phase of action, the Autobots had finally arrived and split into two groups as they sought a safe passage to enter the city. Prime and the Wreckers broke off to the left, Bee, Dino, Que and Sideswipe went straight on while Ironhide Ratchet and Jetstream went left. They drove as quietly and as stealthily as possible so as to not alert any Decepticons. Sam and Epps would get into a clash about goin gin and their words would finally attract some on wanted attention.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Incoming!" he yelled pointing at a Decepticon ship that flew towards them and some humans trying to escape.

Sam and Epps would drop to the ground while the others would take cover as the cons began to kill any human it saw. It would shoot at the fleeing civilians, turning them into nothing but a pile of bones on the ground. The ship would hover over Sam and Epps as it continued to rain fire on the unlucky people. The ship's antics would also gain the attention of the one and only Optimus Prime on his scouting trip. He would transform and aim his blaster at the ship and fire twice, blowing up one of the engines. The pilot spotted him and tried to shoot at him but it was too late.

Optimus would then send a message out to the rest of the Autobots to rendezvous with him at his coordinates after he spotted Sam and the others. The pilot would open the hatch, grunting as it tried to break free and escape. Prime would walk towards it, slowly, even having the time to clear the bullet chamber of his weapon of an empty shell. He would stand behind Sam, Epps and the rest of his team who were in utter shock at how he appeared on the scene.

"We will kill them all" Prime said.

The Wreckers would pull up from behind, braking late as they would transform and race towards the decepticon to kill him.

"Wreckers, kill it" Leadfoot would command, taking a clean swing at Con's head and pulling him out of the cockpit.

"This is going to hurt! A lot!" Roadbuster yelled as he took hold of his hand and ripped it out from its shoulder.

Topspin would take hold of one leg as Leadfoot pulled out the other; they wasted no time in dismembering the Decepticon. Topspin would get a good drip on the wiggling leg and Roadbuster on the last hand as both would pull simultaneously ripping out the last limbs and the head of the Decepticon out.

"Your leaders will now understand. Decepticons will never leave your planet alone. And we needed them to believe we had gone. For today in the name of freedom, we take the battle to them!" Optimus said with a rousing voice pointing towards the city.

From behind him, the sounds of engines echoed as the rest of the Autobots finally showed up. Bee led the way and transform quickly as he went to say a quick hello to Sam. The rest of the Autobots parked up and transformed, fired up and ready to go. This was the battle they had lived for, to put an end to the reign of terror from the Decepticons.

"I saw your ship blow up" said Sam.

"The ship, we were never in the ship! We designed the damn thing didn't we?" answered Roadbuster.

"We were hidden in the first booster rocket to separate. Splashed down in the Atlantic, just as planned. We ain't going nowhere" Leadfoot said.

"Yeah no one's exiling us" said Brains as he stood on the roof of Epps' car.

"The Autobots are staying right here. We're gonna help you win the war" Wheelie added as he maneuvered his way out of Epps' car window and onto the hood of the vehicle.

"They're surrounding the city to make a fortress, so that no one can see what they're up to inside. Our only chance is the element of surprise" said Optimus.

"I think I know where to look" Sam said.

"And where might that be?" asked Ironhide.

"Trump tower. Carly's boss is working with the Decepticons and he's holding her up in there"

"So you want us to go rescue her?" asked Jet.

"Yeah. If he's there, I'm sure Sentinel and Megatron wouldn't be far off"

"It's worth a shot" said Topspin.

"But we can't just drive up there and expect him to give her up. The place would be crawling with Decepticons" voiced Ratchet.

"Then how about a disguise?" said Dino grabbing the attention of everyone.

"What do you have in mind?" asked Optimus.

The humans sent in a mini-drone to get a view of the city. Upon the image appearing on their screen, a wave of silenced swept through the room. The destruction, the carnage, the lives lost. Simmons was already feeling sorry for Sam; there was no way the kid would be able to get in there alive. Or so he thought.

Dino's plan was simple; they use the ship they shot down as a disguise. An Autobot would fly to Trump Tower with Sam and go to rescue her. Sam would get the girl and get back on the ship before they meet up with the Autobots to plan the next phase of their attack. Bumblebee was chosen to fly the ship as he was small enough to get in and had experience flying the small fighter, well, he was the only one with experience in flying those tiny things.

"So you can fly this thing right?" Sam asked Bee.

Bee gave a not-so-confident whir and his shook his hand from side to side.

"What is that? What is that, what is that? So-so? So you so-so can fly this. That feels terrible" he sighed.

"We're right behind you" Epps said walking up to him and giving him a Glock 18.

Sam nodded as he received the weapon.

"Alright Autobots. We know the plan. Let's roll out" Optimus said as he began to transform.

The bots would begin to transform at their leaders command ready to get things started.

"Alright, we're going in!" Epps announced rushing to his car.

Sam got aboard the ship with Bumblebee already in it ready to fly. Epps and his men in their vehicles were amongst the Autobots as they were ready to roll out. Bee circled back with the ship before blasting off towards Trump tower while the Autobots and small group of men began driving. They spotted a little window with no fighters around and drove through quickly.

Over at the building owned by Hotchkiss-Gould Investment, Megatron and Sentinel stood there as proud leaders. What they had accomplished was only but a dream so many years ago, but today, it had become a reality.

"The city is secure. The humans cannot stop us" Megatron said with confidence booming in his voice.

"As the Afternoon falls, the rest of the pillars would reach their launch positions" Sentinel said.

"This is the victory I promised you so many years ago, where we rebuild Cybertron… together!"

Sentinel did not like his tone or his choice of words, and decided to make that clear.

"I have deigned to work with you" he said as he would hold Megatron by the head and slam it into the side of the building.

"That our planet may survive! I will never work FOR you" he said letting go of his head and pulling out some bits from his exposed skull.

"Ah!" Megatron grunted.

"And you would be wise to remember the difference" Sentinel added.

As all this transpired, Carly would be watching closely from a telescope in the Penthouse while Dylan sat in the living room, full of nerves.

Bumblebee approached the tower from the side stealthily. Their disguise worked like a charm as other ships flew past them without suspecting a thing. The bot lifted Sam, who was on the edge of the right gun's barrel up to the back of the building quietly. Sam jumped off as Bee lowered himself and remained vigilant, ready to be called upon at any notice. Sam jumped over the glass railing and walked quietly into the kitchen, holding out the fire arm Epps gave him. He'd duck behind the counter as he spotted a maid walking to the kitchen.

"Hah! I'm sick of this. I'm just sick of waiting" he whined as he walked towards the fridge looking for a drink.

Sam took a deep breath trying to calm his nerves as he walked to the edge of the counter before springing up from behind it and pointing the gun at Dylan.

"Where is she? Where is she?!" Sam demanded with a loud voice.

Carly immediately recognized the voice and couldn't believe her ears. Dylan on the other hand was surprised that he made it this far, some could say that he was impressed by his resilience.

"You've got some balls"

As Carly made it to the kitchen, Laserbeak, acting as a TV on the wall would transform and screech at her. Sam would turn towards the Con but he was too quick as he would grab him by the back. Sam would struggle and try to throw him off but the Cybertronian was much stronger than a human. Sam even tried to shoot him, but his gun would be hit out of his hand as the mechanical bird took him to the balcony and threw him off. Carly screamed in agony, believing that Sam had fallen to his doom; a guard would come and hold her from behind preventing her from moving further.

"Caarlyyy!!" Sam yelled as Bee brought him up aboard the barrel of one of his guns.

"Carly! Jump!" he shouted.

She tussled with the man that held her and eventually prevailed, she would release herself from his grasp and run towards the edge and jump off, meeting Sam aboard the ship. Bee would then turn his attention to the men inside and open fire on them as they all ran for cover. Sam managed to get Carly into the cockpit with Bee as Laserbeak would fly at him once more to try and finish the job. The mini-drone sent earlier would arrive on the scene as the Decepticon would make quick work of it as it would attack Sam. The engine of the ship finally gave in as the aircraft began to spiral down slowly in a controlled fall. Sam and Laserbeak struggled on the barrel as the human prevailed and placed his head on the nozzle of one of the numerous guns found on the ship.

"Bee, fire!" he yelled.

Bee hit the controls and the gun fired, ending Laserbeak's annoying life. The human would hold on to the barrel with his arms and legs as they spiraled down to the ground, they even took a knock from a building on the way down. Getting closer to the ground, people who weren't able to escape the city scrambled for cover with Bumblebee doing everything in his power not to accidentally squash anyone. He was able to make the aircraft hover over a man and a woman before crashing in the middle of the road.

With the new development that happened, Dylan ran towards the building Sentinel and Megatron were on, eager to tell them his discovery.

"Autobots!" he yelled as he jumped a separated bridge and rolled on the floor back to his feet.

"They're alive! They're here! They're alive!" he screamed.

"Decepticons, defend the pillar! Raise the bridges! Find them!" Megatron commanded.

The hunt was on for the Autobots and they could feel it. Things were about to get really intense from here.
