Chapter 117 - Chapter 25 part 2

Megatron kicked the door open of the Nemesis and the Decepticons were all surprised to see him looking with a rage like no other. "Call in Soundwave, Shockwave and the rest of the high commanders. We need the triple changers and leaders of the combiners as well." He commanded which immediately got them moving and began to call in everyone they knew they were alive and belonged to the faction, expect for a certain seeker of course. Everything was set into place as Megatron said to them "As I said, we will not kill Earth as we need it's resources. But we have been stalling for too long and we can't afford the Autobots to gain any chance of victory." Which they all agreed with his view, understanding why. Then Megatron responded with "So, we have made more nuclear bombs to knock everyone off their pedes considering the last attack did a drastic change. Shockwave! Unleash those." Immediately Shockwave run the command and the sound of something going through the sky was heard. Immediately the nuclear bombs flew through the areas intending to destroy more areas. Megatron had a grin at the sight. Meanwhile people who were at a funfair saw something coming at them and they looked in fear as some instantly ran. The radioactive bomb landed and destroyed the towns nearby it. And immediately everyone around the UK got alerted that there was a massive emergency and they had to evacuate quickly as they could. It began to hit people in different continents and the sound of people killing each other was heard. Instantly there was disorder and havoc as professionals had gone to help those who had survived.

Alexa was knocked on her side as one of the nuclear bombs had hit quite close to the ark as she groaned with her head pounding hard. She managed to get herself up and almost slipped until Bumblebee had caught her with his own servos. "Thanks a lot, Bumblebee." She said to him as he replied with "No worries Alexa." As they heard a loud screeching noise. Immediately Shifter and a few Autobots like Beachcomber and Ironhide entered the area. "Whatever is matter around here?" Shifter called out as he came out finally and immediately another explosion came which knocked Alexa into the crates and a couple of Autobots had lost their balance completely. Shifter looked through the window and saw who was causing some of these explosions. "Just give me a minute or two." He excused himself and went outside as Alexa got up helping those around her. "Okay, so it looks like Shifter is out to see what had happened. Any ideas?" Bumbleebee asked until Optimus, Wheeljack and Hoist all came back, inquired with different information. "What racket has been going around here?" Hoist questioned and Alexa replied "My assumption? Those bombs." Of course even if she didn't specify what type of bomb she was talking about, it was obvious they all understood the destructive impact of both human and Decepticon bombs. "Of course they would do it." Bumblebee said which felt more like a statement. Soon Shifter came back inside with his hands bloody and said it was clear, not fazed by the violence he had to cause. They all nodded with some being more uncertain then others. Ironhide and Wheeljack went to go check what had happened while the rest stayed in the small room.

Alexa was seen on the crates and Bumblebee was standing nearby her. Optimus had his arms crossed as he stood near the door and Hoist looked worried while holding up his own scanner. They all heard someone walking and they looked at the door seeing Shifter who came inside slowly while his hands were bloody and he told them that the threat has been dealt with, despite the fact he wasn't fazed by the violence. Shifter left to see if there was anyone else there. Alexa felt a little unsettled by him until she heard the sound of metallic footsteps rushing towards them as they saw Wheeljack and Ironhide come back while panting. "What happened to both of you?" Optimus asked at first, sounding concerned while Ironhide replied, "It's bad outside Prime." And the four of them saw that both Autobots had some sliver-brown radiation, on their legs and their chassis mainly. Thin layers of plating have been removed making way for radiation and the exposed metal had become soft sticky steel which nobody wanted to look at. Alexa turned her head away while Wheeljack said "Follow us." And they were about to ask to where until both run off. And they followed. They had found at themselves at the entrance of the Ark and it felt like a large heat was felt. The nuclear site was far off, being in the forest but the heat could be felt from here. The radiation effects as Hoist concur was far around 11-15 meters at best. Immediately they heard Optimus commanding them, for Bumblebee to take Alexa far off from here from the backside of the Ark while Hoist would help Wheeljack and Ironhide. And they all left.

Bumblebee began to run towards the back of the Ark and he was holding Alexa gently with his servos as she felt the wind whip through her face. He ran as it was still pretty hot despite it reaching early December. Alexa suddenly yelled "Look out!" And the sound of gunshots was heard as Bumblebee dodged while trying to keep Alexa out of the way. He looked up seeing that it was one of the gun-warriors called Burnstrike. Gun-warriors are rare heavy armoured Decepticons who carry around specialized cybertronic guns used to clear out areas on the ground. Burnstrike stopped using his batterial assault gun and immediately he looked slightly annoyed seeing that these two threats were alive. But he turned his head around and his optics widened seeing that there was an bomb thrown nearby. And it hit Burnstrike's tree, knocking him off as he jumped an far distance from there. "Where did he go?" Alexa questioned and Bumblebee gave an uncertain reply "I don't know, I can't see him myself." And all off a sudden, the sound of a bomb was heard exploding and Bumblebee braced for impact. Alexa opened her eyes seeing that they were completely fine and gave a tap. Bumblebee's blue optics opened up, seeming disoriented as his systems recalibrated and his sensors refocused. "Ah, we didn't get hurt?" Alexa shook her head but however pointed at the trees, as a hole was seen with dead wildlife. There was stuff like birds, insects and small mammals which were all affected by the bomb. A bunch of trees fallen down and now Bumblebee knew, if they continued this attack, they are bound to murder a lot of people.

"What? That town looks like it's burning down nearby." She pointed and nearby in fact, grey smoke that was going up into the air. Bumblebee moved with her and there on the other side of the road was houses and a school being flamed. The fires teared and chewed on the plastic like a animal and drops of burning wood fell down like human tears on the once fresh grass. Papers flew out of there like a broken winged thing, with the tears of paper almost being similar to feathers. The roofs collapsed downwards and glass fell like melting wax, coating the ground with a thick layer of shiny, gleaming layer. The foundations of what was once a house crumbled downwards. The noise of the cracking and intense inferno as they both realized where was everyone? Why was this small area being burn down and nobody cared? Those questions went through their mind and Alexa began to cough out loud. "What's wrong?" Bumblebee asked, with the heat being mixed from both the flames and radiation. "I feel sick." She replied as Bumblebee could also feel the unbearable heat even for a Autobot. Commonly they dealt with extreme temperatures such as when some of them had gone to the coldest parts of Cybertron. But this was not something that they all got used to, even back on their own planet. Alexa looked away as Bumblebee knew they had to get to the vortex area quickly. Alexa looked as she looked around seeing that even as they moved it was too quiet.

There have been protests high in the air about people struggling without water, housing and food as some people have been holding up signs about the lack of necessities. The non-government corporations have been discussing each other about trying to help people. Meanwhile Zera had found several people who were under rocks and were all alive as they went into the police car, so they can get to the hospital. Everyone has been stressed and there have been lootings that have been happening for the sake of food and water while some of them have been caught. Zera looked at them, one was a looter and she understood why. The most likely thing they were looking for was food and water. Considering they had grabbed a fresh water bottle and a snack from someone's bag.
