Great Basin Battle Part 3

*moments before*

Maria: Crap, he's not picking up.

Alex: Come on. He can't be this busy.

Aurora: Is he coming?

Maria: I don't know, Aurora. He's not answering my calls.

Murphy: We have to hurry. Mom and Dad could be here at any moment.

Maria: Let me call Mikaela-oh wait, crap I don't have her number!

Alex: Wait, Mikaela was there with him?

Maria: I heard her voice, but it confused me.

Aurora: Mikaela? The girl from his middle school?

Alex: Yes, but that's not important right now. We need to-

Vaughn: *watches the TV* Robot fight.

Aurora: Vaughn, now's not the time. We need to-

Aurora stops as she saw what Vaughn was watching, and was shocked. Murphy looks on and was surprised as well. Soon, Maria and Alex look at the TV and see a News Report with footage of a battle between giant robots and the military.

News Anchor: We are witnessing one of the most shocking things ever since on Planet Earth. A large of giant robots that turn into vehicles fighting each other while the military is fighting with one of them at the Great Basins in Nevada.

Maria: What the-

Alex: That's...I don't know what to say.

Suddenly, the door opens and the teens and children quickly turn to see who came in.

Alex: Crap.

Paul: Alex? Maria? Where's Michael?

Maria: He's uh...he went to do an errand.

Stephanie: On his bike?

Alex: It's not that big of an errand, so yeah.

Paul: I see. Well...we called him and he hasn't answered any calls or messages.

Maria: He's uh-

Stephanie: What is going on? Why is my son not here and not answering our calls?

Alex: He's...it's complicated.

Paul: Oh, it's complicated? Guess what? Us not knowing where our 17 year old son is while in Nevada, a giant robot fight is going on. So yeah, it seems complicated. But if you tell us where he is, then it won't be. So, I'm asking again. Where's our Son?

Stephanie: And we want the truth.

Maria and Alex were conflicted. They had to tell the truth, but they promised Michael they wouldn't reveal his secret to Paul and Stephanie. Should they lie and get into trouble while keeping Michael's trust in them or tell the truth and risk losing that same trust?

One, however, didn't like the pressure building up.

Aurora: Michael's at an Indy Show, Wrestling!

Paul and Stephanie: What?!

Maria and Alex look at Aurora in shock that she tell them the truth. Aurora does have a face of guilt, knowing Michael wouldn't trust her.

Aurora: Michael has been wrestling outside of WWE without your knowledge. That's how he earns money and do charities with that money. He didn't want to tell you until he felt ready to say it.

Paul: Is she telling the truth?

Alex and Maria gave a regretful nod.

Paul: That little...oh wait till I get my hands on-

Suddenly, Vaughn and Murphy screamed in fear. Paul and the others immediately pushed the tension away and ran to the girls.

Stephanie: Girls are you okay?!

Maria: What happened?!

Soon, they point the TV as they look on. A familiar pops up on screen.

Everyone was shocked.

It was Michael.

Their son. Their brother. Their best friend...far away from Connecticut, caught in the middle of the fight between these giant robots while carrying a grey metal box on his arm. What's scary is that blood can be seen on his lips and shirt, showing he was hurt.

Everyone felt their souls escaping from their bodies. Why is Michael in Nevada? Why is he in the middle of a battle between robots that make him look like an ant? What is that cube he's carrying? And most of all...who would dare hurt him?

Stephanie felt light headed, seeing her first born son in danger, and collapsed on the floor.

Paul: Honey!

Paul and Alex help Stephanie while Maria comforts the girls, knowing they're scared for Michael as 4 year old Murphy was crying, seeing her older brother in danger. No one said anything as they know this is something far beyond anything they believe.

Soon, they seen Michael in front of a terrifying near 40 foot tall robot as he stares defiantly at it. Then...

Robot: YOU WRETCHED HUMAN!

Everyone: MICHAEL!

*back in battle*

Arcee and the others look on in horror and sadness, believing Michael has died. Megatron growls as he approaches the debris, hoping the AllSpark was intacted. But then...

Optimus: NOOOOO!

Optimus enraged yell was heard as he drove towards Megatron. Megatron tries to blast him but Optimus wasn't faced as he crashes into Megatron. He then leaps, transforms and slams his foot against Megatron.

Megatron pushes him away, but Optimus wasn't done. He charges at Megatron, unleashing an onslaught of punches that made Megatron spit out his energon.

Arcee looks at the smoke and debris and she looks down, saddened to believe Michael was dead. How's she gonna tell Mikaela and his loved ones about this?

Arcee: I'm sorry, Michael. I'm truly-

Suddenly, she hears a coughing sound as she brings herself up. Soon the debris fades out to reveal...

Arcee: Michael?

Michael is alive. Dirty and coughing, but alive. The Autobots and everyone watching at home are shocked to see him alive after taking a blast from Megatron.

Soon, the answer came as the AllSpark closes itself, revealing it created a barrier to protect Michael.

Michael: Woah. I'm...I'm alive?

Arcee: Michael!

Michael turns to her and immediately ran towards Arcee.

Michael: You okay, Cee?

Arcee: I'm okay? What about you?! I thought you died!

Michael: Well, I'm the one standing while you got crushed by a 40 foot tall monster in metal.

Arcee: But...how?

Michael: *looks down at the AllSpark* Guess this is the answer.

Arcee was astonished. The AllSpark spoke to him, shrunk down for him, healed him, and now it protected him? Why would it take that much effort in doing that with a member of a different species?

Arcee: Did it protect you?

Michael: ...Yeah. *turns and sees Optimus beating Megatron* Woah. OP's tearing Buckethead apart.

Arcee: He thought you were dead. I never seen this angry before.

Optimus keeps punching Megatron, until Megatron caught his arm and punches him back, breaking his mask. Optimus flies off and crashes down before rolling back up.

His glares at Megatron before his optics turn to see Michael, alive, kneeling next to Arcee. His optics widen in shock, but was relieved the boy was alive and well. He then stands up and glares at Megatron.

Megatron: Once again, you put your life over the weaklings. You haven't changed, Prime. Why throw away your life so recklessly?

Optimus: *grunts* That's a question you should ask yourself, Megatron. *brings out his Energon Axe*

Megatron: Fine. I'll crush you with my bare hands! *brings out his Energon Mace*

The two leaders charged at each other and collide. The two leaders fight each other to death as Michael and Arcee look on. The others were gonna assist until the other Decepticons arrive to fight them.

Arcee: Michael...you need to go.

Michael: What?

Arcee: You nearly died. And we're surrounded by Cons. We tried our best to protect you, but we failed.

Michael: Even if you failed to protect me, it shouldn't be your fault. Things could happen.

Arcee: Still you have to get out of here. While the others are taking care of the Cons. Find the others and meet with Mikaela.

Michael: I can't. I can't leave with this going on. I can't leave while everyone's getting hurt. I can't leave knowing I will still be hunted down. And...*tears up* I can't leave you here like this.

Arcee: But you have to. I know it's hard. Believe me, I know the feeling...*places a hand on his cheek* but you have to understand that this is something beyond your control. And I want you to live as you still have a lot going on. Please, Michael. Go.

Michael stares at her with teary eyes as he wraps his hand around one of her digits. He then nods as places his head against her face plate. Arcee pulls him closer to comfort him.

Michael soon nods as he quickly runs off. During the fight, Megatron saw him running and was shocked to see the human alive. Then it dawned on him.

The AllSpark a vessel of Cybertronian Origins...is protecting a human boy.

Megatron: Unbelievable!

Megatron smacks Optimus away and fires at Michael. Michael runs through the explosions as fast as he can.

Optimus tackles him down as they resume their fight.

Optimus: I will not let you reach the boy, Megatron!

Megatron: Then you're a bigger fool if you think you could stop me. *pushes him away and shoots him*

Megatron then flies off to go after Michael as Optimus tries to catch but couldn't reach him.

Optimus: No!

Optimus transforms and chases after Megatron.

*with Michael*

Michael is seen running as fast as he can with the AllSpark glowing behind him. Suddenly, a buggy appears as it stops in front of him, revealing the driver.

Michael: Miki?

Mikaela: No time! Get in!

Michael immediately gets in as Mikaela drives off.

Mikaela: Are you okay?!

Michael: I'm fine.

Mikaela: You look rather rugged. *sees him dirty and having dried blood on his shirt*

Michael: I'm fine, Miki. Just drive as fast as you can.

Mikaela nods as she drives. But not, before wrapping hand onto Michael's, giving it a comforting grip. Michael looks at it and at her. He then smiles as she smiles back.

But then it was cut short by an explosion. Michael looks up and sees Megatron towards them, shooting at them with his Fusion Cannon.

Megatron: Give me the AllSpark!

Michael: You Drive and I'll shoot!

Mikaela nods as Michael stands up and pulls out his arm blaster and starts shooting. Despite his best efforts, Megatron shrugs them off. Michael growls as he knew he's too small to even hurt Megatron. That was until the AllSpark opens up and a stream of energy when into his arm.

Soon, the blasts became more powerful than before, stunning Megatron. Megatron felt them and got even more madder.

Megatron: The AllSpark is giving that insect Power! NOOOOO!

Megatron fires one massive shot as Michael stopped, grabs Mikaela and the Cube and used his blaster to jump them away from the buggy as the blast hits it, destroying the vehicle.

Michael quickly wraps his arms around Mikaela, letting go of the AllSpark as they land on the hard ground. Michael used his body to protect Mikaela from the impact, but in doing so, dislocating his shoulder.

Both rolled around before they stopped with Mikaela lay on top of him.

Mikaela: Michael? Are you okay?

Mikaela tries to get up but as she presses her hand on his shoulder, Michael yelled in pain.

Mikaela: Oh my God! I'm sorry!

Michael: It's fine. *sits up while holding his shoulder*

Mikaela: Michael, your shoulder's dislocated. We need to-

Michael: I'll be fine. Here, grab my arm and pull it as hard as you can.

Mikaela nods as she grabs his and gave it a hard pull. An audible popping sound was heard as Michael got the feeling of his arm back.

Michael: Thanks, Mik.

Mikaela: No problem, Mikey.

Michael smiles until his eyes widen.

Michael: The AllSpark!

Mikaela looks around as saw it a few yards away.

Mikaela: There!

Michael saw it and ran towards it. Mikaela looks up and sees Megatron heading towards him.

Mikaela: Michael, look out!

Michael didn't stop as he jumps and grabs the AllSpark while dodging Megatron's grasp. Megatron yells out and tries to crush Michael with his mace but Michael dodges it.

Megatron: You...how could the AllSpark protect you and give you power?! You're nothing but an insect!

Michael didn't say anything as they continues to flee. Megatron tries to grab him but Optimus arrives to tackle him down. Megatron gad enough, though and tosses Optimus away, making him land in front of Michael.

Michael: Optimus!

Optimus grunts as he gets up and they turn to look at Megatron.

Megatron: Delightful. Now I get to extinguish the life of a Prime and the pest of this mudball of a planet at the same time. Once you're out of the way, I will retrieve what is rightfully mine!

Michael glares at Megatron until he hears something from his mind.

?: Michael...destroy the AllSpark by using it against Megatron.

Michael: What? But...what about its power and purpose? Without it, Cybetron's-

?: There is no hope for Cybertron, my child. It has been long gone, never to recover. However...the AllSpark cannot be destroyed. It's power can only transform. It is why...I...have put my trust in you.

Michael was astonished at this as he looks at the cube. It glows for him as he contemplates it.

Michael: And the Autobots? Would they forgive me if I destroy it?

Optimus: Yes.

Michael turns to Optimus, surprised he knew what is going on.

Optimus: It is too risky to have the AllSpark near Megatron's reach. The only way is to destroy it.

Michael nods as both he and Optimus stand up.

Optimus: I'll distract him.

Michael: You sure?

Optimus: He choose you. And trusted you to do it.

Michael nods as he and pulls out their blasters and fires at Megatron. Megatron grunts as Optimus charges at him. Both fight once more as Michael looks for an opening.

?: Don't you worry, Michael. The power of the AllSpark will remain alive. Only in a different form.

Michael: Understood. But, can I ask...who are you?

The voice didn't say anything as Michael nods, knowing it's no time to ask questions. He sees Prime and Megatron exchanging blows as he gets ready and runs.

Megatron: You're delaying the inevitable, Prime!

Optimus: On the contrary, Megatron. I'm only distracting you.

Michael uses his blaster to jump as high as he can. Megatron looks up and sees Michael heading towards him and his Optics widen. Michael yells out and slams the AllSpark against Megatron's chest and...

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

The impact was massive that caused a shock wave. It sent everyone flying as they cover themselves from the light. During this, Michael was seen flying back from the impact as Optimus catches him to prevent him from crashing down.

However, they didn't see a stream of Energy coming from the AllSpark entering Michael's body as they went down. Soon, something materializes around Michael's neck before the light fades away, revealing what is was.

Both Optimus and Michael groan as Prime lets go of Michael.

Optimus: Are you alright?

Michael: I'm okay. You?

Optimus: I'm functional.

Soon, they got back up as they look over and see Megatron laying far away from them, his body looking badly damaged from the impact.

Michael: Well that's the end of Megatron. No way he survive-

Suddenly, Megatron's arm goes up, shocking both Prime and Michael. They were more shocked as he slowlu got up, despite the pain im his body.

Michael: No way!

Optimus: Impossible.

Megatron growls as he now standing, his chest showing a deep wound, showing his Spark Chamber.

Megatron; You...you are going to pay for this!

Optimus: The fight is over, Megatron. The AllSpark is destroyed. There is nothing of value for you on this Planet. Surrender, now, and we'll end this War peacefully.

Megatron: Never!

Soon, the other Autobots and Decepticons arrive to side with their leaders. All look visibly tired and damaged from the fight as they stare at each other.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Mikaela soon arrives as stood by Michael, holding his hand. Then, the Military arrive as they all aim their weapons at the Cons, siding with the Autobots.

Megatron looks on and growls in anger and pain. The Autobots and the Humans working together to defy him. He now knows that Optimus was right. The fight is over.

But the War was far from over.

Megatron: Soundwave...get us out of this planet.

Soundwave: Yes, lord Megatron.

Starscream: What-

Megatron: Do as I command, Starscream, or else you'll be turned to Scrap!

Starscream shuts up as Soundwave opens a Ground Bridge. Soon, all the Decepticons entered the Portal but Megatron glares at Optimus and Michael, who stare back.

Megatron: We shall meet again, Prime. And boy...you have made a grave mistake.

Megatron then turns and enters the portal as it closes behind him. After a few minutes of being on guard, everyone sighed in relief.

The Battle was over. Everyone rejoiced as they can finally relax from this long battle. Michael looks on and smiles, seeing Humans and Cybertronians, two different species, coexisting as they celebrate their bittersweet victory. Soon, Arcee approaches him and the two reunite.

Michael: You kept your promise.

Arcee: I did. Though, I'm glad you're still walking.

Michael: Hurt, but...not down.

Ratchet: And...the AllSpark?

The Autobots turn to Optimus who gave a regretful look.

Optimus: It was destroyed. Used against Megatron to prevent more lives from being taken and for him to use it for his evil plans.

Bumblebee: So...what does that mean for us?

Jazz then sees something on Michael's neck.

Jazz: Hey, Mike. What's that?

Everyone turns and sees the relic around Michael's neck. Michael was surprised as he pulls it off and looks at it.

Michael: Woah.

Suddenly, it glows as several beams come out of the relic, hitting the Autobots. Everyone was surprised until they see the Bots slowly be repaired, their deep wounds being covered and missing parts returning from their bodies.

Soon, it dies down as the relic goes off, but the crystal inside still glows from the sunlight.

Michael: It...it healed you guys.

Jazz: Yeah. I feel much better!

Wheeljack: Did that thing come from the AllSpark?

Optimus: I would agree, Wheeljack. The AllSpark has been protecting Michael throughout the battle. It even trusted him to use it to defeat Megatron.

Michael: Yeah. But...I didn't expect this.

Optimus: Most likely it would be the last essence of the AllSpark before it was destroyed.

Michael: The voice did say it cannot be destroyed. It could only-

Optimus: Transform. I haven't heard of that saying for Centuries.

Ratchet: And if that voice told you that, Michael...you were most likely talking to the God of Cybertron.

Optimus: Primus.

Michael was shocked by this. He was talking to the God of the Transformers all this time?

Michael: I...I got nothing to say.

Optimus: It is a lot to take in, Michael. Don't let it consume your thoughts. Instead look into the future, as there's more to come and any answers you want find will be there. In the meantime, all of you fought well. I am Proud that you are all my Autobots.

Everyone smiles and nods at their leaders.

Optimus: Humans, I thank you for assisting us, despite the clear risks.

William: We're soldiers. We have loved ones to protect as well.

Epps: Damn right. No way we're gonna stand back and not help.

Optimus nods as everyone began to talk to each other while Michael and Mikaela look at each other.

Michael:

Mikaela:

Optimus: Michael. Is there something you need?

Michael: ...Yeah.

*later*

Soon, Michael and Mikaela returned to Greenwich as  they knock on the door. It opens and out comes Hunter, Stephanie, Aurora, Vaughn, and Murphy as they envelope Michael in a big hug. Alex and Maria joined in as everyone was worried sick about him, but now he's back, rugged, but okay.

Michael hugs them back as a tear comes down from his eyes, happy to see them again after what he went through. Mikaela and Arcee, in her vehicle form look on as Michael pulls her in for the hug. Everyone held each other tightly before breaking it as Michael introduces them to Arcee.

It was awkward, knowing that she was his first motorcycle, but it gladly accepted her as one of them. Soon, everyone stayed at home, discussing what has transpired while learning more of Cybertronian history from Arcee.

Later, Michael, Mikaela and Arcee sat by the river where no one can see them as the sun sets, looking over the valley in front of them.

Arcee: Well, that was something.

Michael: You tell me.

Mikaela: Yeah.

Michael: So what's next?

Arcee: Don't know. Megatron and those Cons are still out there, plotting something.

Michael: True. Who knows what's in stores.

Arcee: Indeed. But, now is not the time to worry of what lies ahead.

Mikaela: Now, it's best we relax and enjoy what's present.

Michael smiles as they stare at each other. Soon...

Arcee looks on and smiles, happy to see the two finally becoming Sparkmates. Soon, they break the kiss as the three lay down and look at the afternoon skies as the stars become visible.

Michael: What a day. *looks at Mikaela* Not only did I get a badass chick that there with me..*looks at Arcee* I got an equally badass guardian as well.

If she was human, Arcee would've blushed from that. All she gave was a chuckle as both her and Mikaela place their hands on Michael's, though Cee had to use her digit (finger) to not accidentally crush his arm.

The three lay down as they slowly close their eyes/optics, relaxing on the soft ground beneath them.

Soon, they weren't the only ones there.

Epilogue coming...
