The inside of the human plane was almost comforting, but I knew it was right above a city being ravaged by invasion, we had been turned to intercept not long ago, and now, there were seconds till we dropped. "Alright Autobots, drop in and follow me" I order over the radio, we were all in vehicle mode to save space. I saw the humans motioning that the door was about to open, and as it was wide enough, they signaled for us to head out. I gunned it and left some smoke behind, flying out into space I transformed and got ready to use my chutes just in time to glimpse a Decepticon ship blast the 'Empire State Building' with missiles.

In the back of the big C130 rested a black Dodge challenger. It's radio was on playing a song by a human group.
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun

No
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun

Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

The car waited patiently for it's turn to drop. Torque went over the mission details in his head, Decepticons had invaded the Major human city under the name of New York. The Americans (which mostly made up the NEST program.) were extremely agitated and very motivated to deploy a counter attack. So they had been chosen to spear head the operation. While the rest of the team counter attacked where the major battle was being fought on the island of manhattan, Torque would land in the larger borough called The Bronx, to secure an LZ for military personnel to use, and secure one of the
important buildings called Yankee stadium. Decepticon presence was relatively minimal in his target drop zone according to satellite surveillance. Torque would secure the building and a drop zone and would eliminate any enemy presence, then move onto the bridges leading to Manhattan. He would be assisted by a NEST Mobile Strike team that would handle the human population. Torque felt sympathy for the human locals and anger towards the Decepticons. A memory of his home world being ravaged by war flashed through his head and his engine growled in fury. He couldn't wait to jump.

In one corner of the plane's cargo hold, an orange Lotus Elise sat with an obvious aura of impatience, engine revving periodically in the same way that one would tap their foot in anticipation. Axel was by no means a patient Autobot; she needed something to keep her busy, be it a weapon to tune up or a Decepticon to beat the scrap out of. So, obviously, the femme was far from being a happy camper at the moment. And it didn't help that one of her teammate was blaring human noise over his radio.

"Torque! You wanna turn that racket down? It's giving me a headache." To be fair, the song certainly wasn't the worst thing he could be playing. In fact, it was somewhat enjoyable to listen to. But this wasn't the time nor the place for music; they were moments away from dropping into an all-out battlefield known as New York, and they had to be ready for anything. Axel went over her own assignment in her mind: two Decepticons tearing up an area known as Time Square. With any luck, any humans had been evacuated by now; she wasn't going to be able to protect civilians while taking these guys down.

The Lotus snapped out of her thoughts at NavyStreak's orders, and was suddenly aware of the soldier waving her forward, signalling her turn to jump. If Axel were in mech form, she would've smirked. Finally. "Don't wait up for me, boys!" she called back as she slammed on the gas and blazed out of the cargo hold and into open air. Her chutes deployed just after she shifted into vehicle mode, giving the femme a chance to see the damage. Half the city was in ruin, and if the didn't work fast, the other half would be next. As soon as she was over her target, the weapon's specialist cut the lines to her chutes and fell the rest of the way, landing squarely on her feet. Yes, she'd left a dent in the cement on impact, but it was hardly noticeable compared to the rest of the destruction. "Alright, tough guys," she muttered, activating her arm blades. "Where are you hiding?"

I soared towards the Empire state building, and saw a Decepticon jump from a building and grab hold of the side of it, climbing up to meet me, he was big, at least 40 feet, scaling the building slowly, but I had momentum and power, I pulled my chutes, glided towards the building, and worked through the Radio, "Fine Axel, you choose the battle tune, because its a good way to go in" I say, pulling out rare sarcasm. I sliced my chutes and free fell closer to the large building, as I neared the decepticon, he looked up and noticed his prey was much closer, I landed on his back and tore him off the building. We flipped down, and I managed to shove him off into a building across the roadway, I landed on my feet, putting small craters in the ash-fault. "Autobots, Might need some help near target marked as 'Empire State Building', its pretty infested" I mutter, realizing that there were at least 5 decepticons in sight.

"Complaints complaints." Sighed Torque as he was given the signal to jump. He gunned his engine but left his handbrake on, his tires squealed furiously and started to billow smoke from the small burnout. He let off the brake and flew out of the back of the plane, As he cleared the ramp he transformed into his combat form, his chutes immediately deploying. He floated down towards the ground at a safe pace. "I'm a sitting duc-" His point was proven before he even finished saying it as he started to take fire from below. "Screw this." He cut his chute only after a second or two from jumping, he was now plummeting at high speeds from a dangerous height. He grabbed his Vibroblade off his back, holding it reversed grip as he usually did, and pointed his body downward. Air blasted his body as he seemed to cut through the air, dodging fire from the decepticons. He fell faster and faster towards the earth, and was nearing the ground when his radio crackled. He couldn't hear what was said as he kicked forward landing feet first on top of a decepticon that was about twenty feet taller than him. He thrust his blade into the enemy's spark and stood on top of the now motionless body. "Say again?" He spoke into the radio.

"Torque, The LZ is hot! Do not jump! Too much AA fire!"

Torque laughed. "Sorry, I seemed to have landed already. You mind sending my strike team down?" He he jerked his blade out of the dead decepticon and looked around at the humans that gaped up at him. "The humans here don't know what to make of me."

If Nitro had ears, they would’ve been perked intently.

Throughout the entire plane ride, he’d been quiet, not really in the mood to hold a conversation with the other three Autobots that occupied the plane. Sheer impatience would guarantee that he caused an argument, so silent he remained. However, he lifted on his shocks a little as the doors to the enormous plane began to open and rolled forward a couple feet, startling several humans around him.

“It’s about time,” He growled audibly when Navy gave the order, revving his engine impatiently at some human soldiers and Torque, whom he was sitting behind. Outta the way.

First Torque rolled out, then Navy, followed by Axel, leaving Nitro the last to leave the plane, which he didn’t hesitate to do. He accelerated so swiftly that his tires spun in place before propelling him out of the plane’s belly like a jet. He transformed smoothly mid-air, plummeting several hundred feet before he was in the correct mode to deploy his chute, which he did after an almost bored scan of the area below him. The other three had already landed; he must look like he was taking his time.

“Looks like they started the party without us,” Nitro remarked as he drew the laser dagger located in his thigh and cut the lines to his parachute. He plummeted several stories, his cannons already primed and humming the moment he hit the ground and rolled forward to absorb impact. Almost immediately, he found himself between two Decepticons.

He fired both cannons simultaneously, the enemy on his right side exploding into a fireball from the nearly point blank hit. The left Decepticon had only been stunned, but he wasted no time in dropping down upon the larger mech and planting his talons right through his spark chamber. He ripped it right open.

Sadly enough, he even recognized the mech he’d just killed, but he felt nothing for him. Just another dumb soldier in Megatron’s insane bid for power.

“These humans should be getting out of my way,” Nitro griped in response to Torque’s comment on the humans.

“Well that was fun, but I’m feeling a little bored,” he announced, rising and striding away from the two obliterated Decepticons. The jet black Autobot stepped over a gaggle of terrified humans, barking a curt order for them to go the hell away before angling his red optics in the leader’s direction.

“Got it. Makin’ my way toward the marked area now. You got any specific orders for us Navystreak, other than ‘kill that Decepticreep’?”

Axel couldn't help but smirk at her leader's retort. "Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather choose the victory tune. Besides, whatever happened to the element of surprise?" Granted, that wasn't too easy to work with on a planet like Earth. Humans seemed to enjoy jamming a lot of stuff into very small amounts of space, and just moving around in a city like this could be a hassle. This point was proving when the femme-bot accidental knocked over a lamppost simply by taking a step in the wrong direction. "Urgh, never mind," she growled, silently cursing the human race for not thinking to build their cities to accommodate larger beings.

She was pulled out of these thoughts, however, when her auditory sensors picked up movement headed toward her. Fast. The weapons specialist turned just in time to see a bulky Decepticon plow through what was left of a building. The brute was easily ten feet taller than her and a good ton heavier, clearly built for crushing smaller bots into scrap metal. 'The bigger they are, the harder they fall,' she reminded herself, ducking her opponent's first swing. She barely cleared the next punch, which left a crater in the pavement where she'd been standing. Plus, her turrets were doing absolutely nothing against his thick armor. Obviously, the dodge and shoot tactic wasn't working too well. Which meant it was time for Plan B. "Come on, that all you got?!" Waiting until the last possible moment, Axel jerked out of the raging Decepticon's way, watching as he slammed into the tower that had been behind her. The beast of a machine shook off the hit, but wasn't even close to prepared for the tons of rubble and steel that landed on his head as the building collapsed.

Axel smirked at the now lifeless body, retracting her blades and turrets. "That's one down. One to-" The rest of her sentences caught in her throat as a cannon blast skimmed her shoulder, leaving a nice dent in her armor and forcing her to bite back a yell. The weapons specialist glared over her shoulder, just glimpsing the back of a red Ferrari as it hightailed it out of there. "Oy! Get back here and fight, you little-" Her angry rant was cut off by NavyStreak's request for back-up. Axel scowled, but let it go. The coward wouldn't stick around to cause anymore trouble now that his back-up was gone. "Copy that, on my way." Shaking off the pain, she shifted into vehicle form and moved out. "Torque, stop playing with the humans. We have a job to do." Battlefield or not, there was always time for sarcasm.

"sorry Axel, but orders are orders, I'm in charge of making sure this little fighters get out of the city okay" He jogged briskly through the chaotic streets searching for his target building. Some speakers on his body playing an evacuation order for the civilians to get to the stadium for pick up. "Need I remind you that we are here to prevent collateral damage... not create more." A rocket went whizzing by his face followed by an F/A 18 super hornet that was obviously a decepticon in disquise. "I love it when they think they are safe in the skies." His radio crackled once more.
"NBE Torque, NEST Strike team En route to target building to secure for Evac, clear the area of all hostiles how copy over?"

"This Torque Good copy" He responded as he ran shifting into his Challenger. The engine Gunning as he sped down the street after the jet. The engine roared as he maneuvered through rubble and dodging humans in vehicles. The jet seemed to disappear as he drove and drove. Suddenly The road in front of him was raked with 30mm cannon fire as the Jet soared above his head. He turned sharply to avoid being hit, and then suddenly there was an explosion behind the car causing him to flip and roll along the road. The jet was now heading straight for him planning to take advantage of his seemingly out of control state.

"Gotcha." Torque shouted obviously enjoying himself as the car flipped on its side once more and he transformed sending him flying into the air at the low flying jet. He grabbed hold of one of the jets wings and stabbed it with his blade in its midsection. The jet rolled over as it fell and crashed into the street. Torque pulled his high heat machine gun and emptied a few rounds into the Jet before removing his blade and walking away. He didn't notice the Decepticon in the side street aiming a long rifle type weapon at him.


(Could I ask u guys not to save my character I had something planned but I can't do it right now.)

(Gotcha)

I turned towards the oncoming Decepticons and extended my Sword. A Hummer sped towards me, running past the decepticons towards me. I let it approach, until it skidded to a stop in front of me and transformed, as it was almost ready to battle, I jumped to the side and flipped off the side of a building and over the decepticon, swiping away most of its shoulder armor. A smaller decepticon approached and I cut it in half, then fired at the hummer decepticon with my gun while spinning, cutting armor from a tank decepticon's legs and flipping it over me, letting it take fire from its comrade. "Any time is good now" I mutter to the radio, dodging a missile and taking another in my leg, knocking me back.

(Ten four, good buddy)

"Oh, give me a break, that building was coming down anyway," Axel spat back, swerving haphazardly to avoid debris in her way. "Might as well use it to our advantage, right?" To be completely honest, she wasn't particularly fond of human architecture. In fact, she wasn't a huge fan of humans in general. From what she'd learned of their history, they were barbaric, cruel, and hellbent on self-destruction. Still, she couldn't deny that they had the potential to achieve great things, and they couldn't very well do that if the entire race was wiped out by Decepticons. Axel may have missed out on the chance to save her own race, but she wasn't going to let this world share the same fate as Cybertron.

The Lotus transformed as soon as she arrived on the scene, optics widening when she saw what why NavyStreak needed back up. "Whoa. Who started the party without me?" Snapping into action as her leader took a hit, the femme activated her pulse cannon arm and started firing at the tank. This guy was even bigger than her last enemy, not to mention armed to the teeth. Thankfully, their commander had left a good target on the Depecticons legs, and she was using it for all it was worth. Apparently, it was back to the old dodge and shoot tactic. "Nitro! You wanna make yourself useful over here?" Normally, Axel wouldn't trust the former Decepticon as far as she could throw him. At the moment, though, it wasn't like there were a lot of options.

Running. Lots of Running.

The teenage boy was running down the chaotic street, A girl his age in tow. He sprinted quickly dodging falling tellephone poles and electrical wires. There was another explosion not far off.
"Andrew what's going on!?" The girl behind him asked as she kept up with him.
"I don't know." He responded. "But it's like a war broke out in the middle of the city." He grabbed hold of her hand and pulled her forwarded. Francticly thinking about what the hell was going on.
One minute I'm sitting through boring Geometry class and the next I'm running for my life through the streets. There had been some sort of terrorist attack according to what he had heard.
No terrorist are capable of this, that's bullshit.
He ran past an electronics store. Glancing for a momment and then stopping in his tracks. On the television, it was footage from a news helicopter, there were giant...things. He felt her walk up to him.
"what is that?" She asked scared.
"I don't know." He stared at the beings that seemed like giant robots, he had heard stories about such creatures but they were usually dismissed as rumors or conspiracy theories. Another nearby explosion rocked the ground underneath his feet. He snaped out of his trance and pulled the girl's hand to start running again.
He noticed an evacuation order being played, telling them to get to yankee stadium.
"I always wanted to go to a game!" He smiled back at the girl who seem to cheer up a little.
"Only an idiot like you would joke in a situation like this." Their grins fadded as a jet cut through the airpast them. The two were thrown off their feet as it balsted by them.
"What the f- No fighter pilot flys this low." He stood and looked around noticing a Black Dodge Challenger speed down the street after the jet. "The hell is going on!?"
Suddenly there was an explosion not far from them. He watched as the Challenger was thrown into an uncontrolable roll. He grabbed onto her hand and helped her up.
"come on we can't stay here!" She stood slowly a bit shaken up and a hand on her head. She glanced up at the sky behind him and noticed a black figure streaking towards them.
"That jet's coming back!"
He turned in time to see the car transform into one of the giant robots and leap onto the jet. the former challenger now giant robot stabbed the jet with some sword of sword. Andrew shook his head in disbelief and went back to running down the side street. A humvee pulled up not far away from them. It was a national guard unit. She looked back at him and smiled.
"Look Andrew Look! It's the army!"
Andrew Chuckled as they ran towards the Humvee. "Its not the army G, Its the nati-" The humvee exploded and he was smacked across his forehead by something. He fell to the floor against the hard cement. Another Giant Robot Appeared acros the street from the destroyed Humvee. Andrew laid on the floor and placed a hand on his throbbing forehead. He watched as the giant robot towered over him and swung a long rifle around and aimed it at the one thath had been a Challenger. Andrew looked at what hit him, a 40mm Grenade launcher rested two feet from his head. He grabbed the six barreled launcher and slowly rose to his feet.
He remembered his father's words.
Breathe, dont pull the trigger Squeeze it, make sure your rear sight is around your front sight. Sight picture. Remember your sight picture.
His father was a sergeant first class in the US Army, a Platoon sergeant as well. Andrew squeezed the trigger and a 40 mm grenade projectile bucked out of the Weapons barrel. The projectile collided with the giant robot's weapon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Torque pulled his blade out of the dead Jet/Decepticon and wiped the blade against an adjacent building. He looked to his left to check the street and hear a loud explosion behind him followed by a small pop. He turned sharply and a rifle round streaked past him missing by mere inches and almost tearing through bits of his shoulder. He saw A decepticon with a rifle further down the side street, and below it was a Human boy firing a weapon. There were remnants of an explosion coming from the Decepticon's rifle. The boy fired another shot this one impacted the Decepticon's face, Torque knew the little weapon wouldn't cause damage but that shot would surely be enough to disrupt the Decepticon's sensors. torque raised his Machine gun and fired several rounds that hit the Decepticon.
"The Damn human saved me." He muttered as he ran at the falling Decepticon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew emptied another round into the Robot's face, and was preparing to fire another when the giant machine was hit svereal, more explosive rounds that seem to tear through it. Andrew looked to his right to see the Challenger Robot running towards him with a gun aimed at the robot Andrew had been shooting at. The other fell causing the ground to shake slightly. It looked at Andrew with angry "eyes" and reached for him. It's armed was stopped short by a giant foot.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Torque finished off the fallen Decepticon with his blade. He looked down at the human boy that was staring up at him. He knelt down and pointed at the boy.
"What is your name Human?"
"Concepcion, Andrew Concepcion." The boy replied his face held an expression of both shock and courage. He was afraid but refused to show it. He held the 40mm loosely by his side.
"I would have been toast if you hadn't shot his rifle, you messed up his aim just in time."
"You seemed like the good guy, any American Muscle car can't be all bad." The human actually cracked a Nervous grin. A human girl walked up behind him and took his empty hand. She looked up at Torque with frightened eyes and back at the human boy. She pleaded with him to go.
"You know how to get to, what's the name of this place, Yanks stadium?" Torque asked.
The boy nodded and grinned wider. "It's Yankee Stadium, everybody in the Bronx knows how to get there."
"Good." Nodded Torque as he rose to his feet. "Good luck Hum- um Andrew."
The boy nodded and let himself be pulled by the human girl. "You too. Give em hell."

Torque watched as they ran off with a satisfied look on his face.
"These humans aren't all bad." He muttered to himself. And his radio crackled again.

NBE Torque NEST strike team in posistion, Sat feed says there are no Tangos in your area, Proceed to Tri boro Bridge and move to assist the rest of your team.

"Roger that." Torque said transforming into his car form and speeding off to join the others.

I turned towards where the missiles had come from and swore, an AH-64 Apache helicopter had shown up and fired them, and it had plenty more, I transformed and sped towards it, avoiding fire from more than one direction, and hit the brakes. I spun around and transformed, sliding under the helicopter on my back and firing, it destabilized and started to transform to avoid being destroyed, and veered into a Building.

the helicopter was using its rotor blades like a spear, or double sided sword. I dodged a missile and was rewarded with a slash to the chest, I retaliated and cut off some of his own chest armor, then fired my cannon at his blades to knock it away.

“Oh, now the big bad femme acknowledges the lowly reformed Con?” The remark was bordering on snide, mostly taunting, but if she had learned anything about Nitro, she knew not to take it personally. That was his way of being friendly.

He took a step toward his leader and Axel. They were only about 100 feet away. But before he could take the measured leaps that would get him over there, something slammed into him hard and fast, throwing him through an enormous building and taking out two of its pillars in the process. It was an “old” building, his internet knowledge absentmindedly told him.

The Decepticon jet had transformed mid-tackle and was now bearing down on him with a cannon. He jerked his head to the side as a plasma blast obliterated the floor where it had previously rested, spraying him with shrapnel and causing minor damage to his shoulder. He thrust one arm up to keep the Con’s gun arm occupied while he thrust his left cannon straight into the chasis, delivering a stunning electric shock. It would’ve been fatal if the Con hadn’t used his arm to push Nitro’s cannon partially out of the way.

He rolled out from under the Decepticon and dug his claws into a sturdy section of his armor. Nitro drug him behind as he emerged from the hole in the wall at a sprint, ruby red optics doing a double take at the enormous helicopter that was bearing down on his two companions.

“Well, I was gonna use this one to bludgeon the rest, but I guess this works too,” He remarked, swinging the larger Decepticon around with a grunt and releasing it in the helicopter’s direction. If all went well the Con would collide with the heli blades, resulting in the serious injury if not death for both of them.

As an afterthought, Nitro pointed his right cannon at the pair as they collided and sent several bursts of plasma in their direction, adding to an already probable explosion.

“Two down, a dozen more to go.” He’d just spotted Axel having trouble with a tank as he turned and moved in to help, bearing down on it from the behind, but its back was just as heavily protected as its front. The only thing that was vulnerable was the legs, which Axel was already firing at.

He sprang up and put his full weight on the Con’s shoulders, which really didn’t do much good. Nevertheless, he stabilized himself using his legs and then slammed the laser dagger into one of the minute cracks in the Con’s armor, slicing through vital wires and processors. It wouldn’t be enough to kill the Con. Hopefully the combined distraction of Axel and Nitro attacking at once would keep the Con too busy to do anything about it as he pried off with difficulty its thick layer of armor.

“Now!” He growled at the femme, the armor clattering to the ground to reveal a much softer shell on its chest. From his position, any blast he gave it wouldn’t hit it at the right point to kill it. So it was all up to her. He slammed his cannon down on the tank’s head to keep its attention while she did her thing.

He was fairly proud of himself today. Not only was he kicking Con ass, but he was being a team player too.

The Lotus smirked and rolled her optics, though she chose not to justify that remark with a response. Nitro's social skills were even worse than her own at times, and that was saying something. Besides, she was a little too busy to exchange snarky banter at the moment. There was the not-so-small matter of a certain Decepticon trying to blow her to bits. It was at times like these the femme was grateful for the wheels in her feet; the tank was obviously larger and better armed, but speed and agility were on her side.

Axel circled her opponent a third time, narrowly dodging a cannon blast before taking the opportunity to fire at his unarmed legs with the her turrets. Slowly but surely they'd been weakening throughout the fight. All she needed were a few good hits to cripple the beast and-- The weapon's specialist faltered as she caught a flash of red out of the corner of her optic. "You!" Her pulse cannon was activated as Axel skidded to a halt, ready to blast the creep that had sniped her to pieces. Unfortunately, that distraction was all the tank needed to land a heavy blow, sending her to the ground. Before she even had a chance to use any of the colorful curse words she'd picked up from the human vocabulary, the femme found herself looking down the barrel of a cannon that was aimed straight for her head.

The last thing she'd expected was for one "lowly reformed 'Con" to leap onto the monster's back and take a stab at it's back. The Lotus stared for a moment, her near-death experience having at least some kind of immediate effect. The only time she snapped back to reality was when the tank's armor fell, leaving his spark fair game. Shaking herself out of her stupor, Axel snarled as she lunged forward, unsheathing one of her blades and slamming it into the Decepticon's spark chamber. Just for good measure, she also blasted a hole into his chest with her own canon, better safe than sorry.

The weapons specialist panted as the lifeless body fell to the ground, glancing around for any sign of her previous target. Once again, the Ferrari had fled without a trace, leaving Axel severely pissed off. Not so much because one of the bad guys had gotten away, but because she'd almost gotten killed and had needed her ass saved by Nitro of all people. Seething, she shot a glare at the former Decepticon. "I didn't need you to play hero." Translation: Thanks. The hell if she was going to say it herself.

I ran towards Axel and Nitro, fighting with a Decepticon about my size along the way, I swiped and caught his legs, knocking him down, he responded by firing a missile at my back, knocking me forward onto an abandoned car, I used my momentum and rolled forward and charged my cannon for a harder blast. I got up and turned towards him, he got up and fired another missile I dived aside and kicked the missile, sending it careening into a building, rolled to my knee, and fired at the enemy's chest. I got a good hit, sending the decepticon down hard, I knew he was dead, and retracted my cannon. I turned and walked to Nitro and Axel, more calmly. "That looks like all of them" I say, staring at the dead tank, "We should move, theres more of them, gathering at what the humans call Times Square.

As Axel brought the Decepticon down with a powerful strike from one of her blades, Nitro leaped away to avoid being crushed, landing nimbly –for a 20 foot tall mech- on the opposite side of the fallen Cybertronian.

‘I didn’t need you to play hero.’

“Riiight. You’re welcome anyway,” Nitro shot back, the motorcycle-esque battle mask lifting long enough to reveal the smirk he tossed her way.

He was in the process of shoving the laser blade back in its compartment on his thigh when Navystreak approached, announcing that the battle was over, at least in this area.

“I guess it isn’t over until the fat lady sings. Although I have yet to see such a human,” Nitro announced, sounding puzzled over the expression even as he used it. “Where are all these Decepticreeps coming from?”

The question wasn’t rhetorical; he was genuinely surprised. Even when he’d been a Con himself, the “Decepticon Army” had only consisted of a dozen or so Cybertronians. They’d just defeated about that many, so where were they all coming from?

Nitro activated his GPS with an internal frown, silently mapping the area. Once he knew where he was going, he disabled the GPS and swiftly transformed into the jet black Dodge Charger.

“Times Square isn’t far from here. Lucky for the humans.”

Speaking of which, he beeped at several dazed humans who stumbled into the road and then sped off in the direction of the next battle.

If this keeps up there won’t be anything left to save.

The thought was a sobering one, even if you weren’t the type to feel attached to the tiny organics of Earth.

I turned to Nitro, "We must have missed something on Cybertron after we left, because they have a bunch of ships now, too" I mutter. I transform beside him and sped off, "Take the first one you see you two" I order Axel and Nitro as we head towards another battle, by the sounds of things on the radio, two groups of NEST soldiers -about 35 of them in all- , were pinned down by a group of decepticons, they were holding thier own, but more were on the way.

Axel scowled, azure optics glaring daggers into the former 'Con. "Whatever." Great comeback, right? Well, she was in far too foul a mood for witty banter right now. She was supposed to be proving that she was able to take care of herself, femme or not. And almost getting blasted to bits by one of the bad guys was a pretty lousy way to do that.

Luckily, the Lotus was spared from further embarrassment as NavyStreak informed them of more Decepticons gathering in another part of the city. Ironically enough, the one she'd just come from. "Great. If it keeps up like this, we'll be sweeping this city up with a broom by the time it's over." Nonetheless, she quickly shifted into vehicle form and sped off ahead of her teammates, since she already knew where they were supposed to be going. The drive back to Time Square was even shorter that her previous one from it, mostly because she was taking her frustrations out on the road. Taking her commander's orders to heart, she zeroed in on the nearest Decepticon, a helicopter that had just landed and transformed. Using what was left of a news stand as a ramp, she launched herself at the target shifting in midair and plunging a blade into his back on impact. The Con let out an agonized how, scrabbling at his back to get the smaller mech off of him. Her grip remained unrelenting as she brought her cannon out, using it to blast him in a weak point at the back of the head, point blank.

Jumping off as the chopper's body fell lifeless to the ground, she immediately picked out her next victim. This one was probably some kind of sports car, sleek, fast, and currently trying to slash a small army of NEST soldiers to bits. "Move!" Once she was sure her tiny allies were out of the way, Axel drew her other blade and skated forward, catching her enemy's blade between her own pair. The two drew apart almost immediately, staring each other down. Apparently, this one was smarter than the average 'Con. The femme smirked. Always nice to have a challenge.

Navystreak tore down the roads into Times Square, a Decepticon was nearing the second, smaller group of human soldiers, who seemed to have civilians taking up arms and fighting, some with fallen soldiers arms, some with their own smaller weapons. It was probably the most valiant effort of the human race he had seen in his time, they weren't going to surrender, this was their city, no matter who was invading. Taking some added energy from the acts of the humans, he ran into the legs of a heavily armed 'Con, probably some sort of heavy truck, and knocked it down, he transformed and fired at the 'con as it got up, knocking it back, it rolled forward and jabbed at Navystreak's leg with a spear-like weapon, and Navystreak responded by firing on the decepticon's arm and chest, and slicing off its arm, which took the spear with it. The humans rallied and directed their fire at its head and chest, while Navystreak kept it busy, engaging in hand-to-hand combat.
