Chapter 126 - Chapter 26 part 4

Firestorm dropped the dynamite and some humans started to get exploded in the blast radius. Alexa's family got out as Firestorm watched with interest. His eyes glinting with cruelty seeing that humans are getting disintegrated in the fire that he caused. He saw a missile coming towards him and dodged as humans shot at him. "What are these humans doing, trying to shoot me?" He asked as Harold said "Well, looks like we got more trouble now." Despite his hunger, he knew he couldn't afford to eat. "Do we have something to handle this one?" And Zera gave him a grenade. "Only ever used in top priority situation. Now throw this at him." Zera said as Harold looked over the weapon in his hand. He pulled the pin and threw it at Firestorm who was busy trying to handle human and Autobot attacks. His optics widened seeing the bomb thrown at him and yelled "What in the name of Cybertron!?-" And he was thrown back with how much was packed in that large grenade. Zera gave Harold a high five and for once, had a smile on her face. But instantly faltered seeing the black stop immediately causing explosions around the city. And the white glow around it shimmered as it turned around and had another surge of energy, causing dozens of humans nearby get injured or killed. One of which, a father was seen grieving nearby while holding his dead child. "We need to evacuate people out of here or else we will lose more than we had already lost." She said and Mrs Lilian immediately began to help people to get out in a instance. Government officials were stressed from what had happened and couldn't keep up.

Meanwhile Starscream looked down at the humans who were running around like scattered ants as people were seen running the forests. Some people that remained in the city were either grabbing survival kits, food and water or hiding in buildings that weren't damaged. Roads had more bodies than people could count. After the destruction of the city, it left a very, very grim scene. And only about thousands had survived, majority of kids were shell shocked and adults didn't look pleased from the results. People from other countries, like police officers and hospital workers began to assess the situation. Out of all of the countries, the UK had been affected the most with the Autobot and Decepticon war with people dying and protests silencing. People were asking "What now?" Since they lost more then they all wanted for. News everywhere was talking about the destruction and well there was this sound of loudness that hurt Harold's ears. "What is this!?" He yelled as Lili looked at him by saying "Harold, are you okay?" Harold replied aggressively "Am I okay!? Of course not! This is ridiculous." Mrs Lilian couldn't blame Harold for being angry. "First Alexa gets hurt by that Transformer, we got injured. And now we are facing this." Despite the Decepticons being driven out, there was this dissatisfaction in the air as Kirin glared at Zera. "And, now how many was lost? 20,000, 80,000?" And Zera looked struggling to say anything. Lili couldn't blame anyone but Harold was frustrated, not at the officers but at the situation itself. Zera sighed and said "I know we shouldn't ignore this but Alexa is probably in trouble." She specifically said that to Harold who only replied with "My sister..."

Meanwhile Alexa opened her eyes and saw that the close area around her felt still and quiet, wait what happened? She looked up and saw that things had slowed down for her right now. She tried to speak but her voice froze and she looked up seeing that there was a large glowing hole beneath her. And red warning symbols were glitching before she looked up seeing that Starscream was shooting at a human in slow motion. And looking upwards there was Starscream's tendrils forming a large hole in the air which was forming out of energy. That was until Soundwave who came out of the air all of a sudden was gliding down and immediately damaged the digital tendrils with a large sword. The energy disappeared and a yellow liquid fell to grass burning it. The slow motion immediately stopped and Alexa hit a structure and fell to the ledge of an building. Starscream turned and looked in fury seeing Soundwave nearby with Skywarp. "Ah, you two." Starscream said with deep contempt, particularly at Soundwave. "Starscream. Your objective is unpredictable, destr uctive and there is animosity in it. I see you've risked everyone around you." Soundwave stated with a matter of fact tone while Skywarp rolled his optics. Starscream gave a gaze at him "Easy for you to say." Before grabbing his sword of karma before attackin roughly and Soundwave darted and immediately hit back. As the two Decepticons were fighting with each other. The two Autobots found Alexa and helped her up.

"Ugh, my head..." She said before looking over the fighting Decepticons. Starscream blocked throws from both Skywarp and Soundwave and hit Skywarp with the flat of his sword, knocking him backwards. "Okay now that they are distracted, we need to get out of here." And Alexa immediately jumped down from a large height despite being very injured and landed on her bottom since her feet ached to stand. "We got Bumblebee's message, he's nearby." They transformed as Alexa struggled and got inside of Bluestreak who shut the door and immediately drove out of there. Bumblebee's message came and said "I found Sideswipe and Optimus." Which pleased both of them greatly but Alexa didn't fell well due to the car ride and the injection in her. It took her all her strength not to puke. She didn't feel comforted in any way and in fact, vomiting made her feel worse. Bluestreak who didn't understand human sickness questioned "Why do you look like that?" And she responded with "I feel sick!" Bluestreak felt confused, "You feel sick? But your not showing any external signs of-" Hoist soon said "Human sickness is a bit different from Cybertronian who experience it. It's more internal then external." Hoist said and Bluestreak was surprised. "Huh, rarely there is any internal sickness for us. You must feel unwell." Alexa nodded before they arrived. Alexa got out unsteady as she threw up as they transformed out of their vehicle modes and looked disgusted at the smell of it. Nearby they heard loud footsteps and saw that Bumblebee was running towards them before stopping. "Alexa?" He saw how she threw up on the grass and paused.

"I-I'm fine." She mumbled as she wiped her mouth as Optimus and Sideswipe came. "Okay now that we find you three-" Sideswipe turned to look at her and he was clearly fazed by the fact she did something that was normal to humans. "What is wrong with her?" He asked as he backed off from her and Optimus scolded Sideswipe who just squirmed. "Did I tell you that you can comment on someone's weakness?" Optimus shook his head as Sideswipe said loudly "Fine! Fine, I still think it's weird." He crossed his arms and looked away as Alexa noticed her physical health had gotten worse over time and her mental health had become increasingly unstable. Honestly, she didn't know how to help herself as she looked up at them. "So, how do you guys say we defeat him?" Bumblebee asked and an idea all popped up in their head. "Starscream isn't to be underestimated after all." Optimus said as they sat down trying to figure out something...

Meanwhile Starscream who was getting tired out had enough and screamed in anger before hitting Soundwave's visor with an injection of his own chemical which made Soundwave fall back as Starscream got shot by Skywarp. Soundwave got up and aimed his sword at Starscream's neck who blocked it with his own sword. Soundwave soon said "Rumble, Frenzy eject." And the two minicons jumped out. "Let's do this!" They said with smiles until they saw Starscream who tilted his head and seemed unfazed by his new injuries. His wings were spread out wide and immediately the minicons looked uncertain. "Uh Soundwave, you want us to fight him?" Frenzy asked. They swore his appearance looked completely different since August. Why did he look like an abomination, even Soundwave seemed focused on the fact Starscream was like this. And immediately Starscream grin was clear and soon the air turned really, really cold as he raised his hand and immediately the sound of an alarm was heard blaring loudly. Soundwave looked up as some of his visor had melted slightly and made black thick cracks, particularly at the left side of his visor and the vortex slowly spun...
