The serenity of the jungle hid the signs of a potential uproar. The silent plodding of footsteps in the thick underbrush, coupled with the rustling of vegetation could attest to this. A rifle poked out from the cover of plants. A single Cybertronian emerged from the brush, followed by numerous others behind him. Soon enough, the squawks and chirps of fleeing jungle birds could be heard as underbrush became trampled and trees were knocked down. This band of Cybertronians was en route to secluded stronghold, on a mission to annihilate it. A snap and an explosion occurred as one of the Cybertronians tripped an anti-personnel mine, reducing the unfortunate victim to scrap metal.

“We got one,” grinned an Autobot officer. The tripped explosives sent out a shock wave that indentified the size of the invading group.

“Good. But the size of the group of hostiles is going to be a pain in the aft to deal with,” said the commanding officer. “We’re going to need reinforcements. The amount of organic vegetation on this primitive rock is going to hinder our forces. Keep our main forces hidden for an ambush. Send out our air support in order to wreak havoc and confuse the enemy. The forces the B7R sent us should be able to do their job quite well. Once they’ve done their job we can get the drop on those ‘Cons.”

In the main hangar of the base were five Cybertronians. Each one bore an identical paint scheme. The leader of the five Cybertronians, Aquila, or Yellow 13, perked up as he received a transmission from the communications officer. “We’ve been given the order to move out. It’s a simple request, cause havoc until the main forces can deploy. Let’s move out. Yellow 3 and 5, you will begin by bombing them as the both of you are the only ones with drop weapons. Yellows 2, 4, and I will drop down once the bombing is finished along with the two of you and start our attack. Got it?”

“Yes sir!” shouted the others in unison. As they all turned to embark on their mission, Yellow 13 was jumped from behind and kissed on the cheek. He tilted his head back and laid his eyes on Yellow 4, Skyfall.

“I thought I told you no romantic stuff during a mission.” Aquila smiled.

“Technically we aren’t in one until they start bombing. Besides, it was a good luck kiss,” Skyfall giggled.

“Ya got me on that,” Aquila conceded as he kissed her. “We have to go now. Bomblast and Freefall are going to be starting the runs soon and we need to be ready for the second wave of attacks. We can start the real fun after the mission.”

“Gotcha Aquila!” Skyfall chirped as she slid off of his back and giggled. The two left the hangar and took off, transforming into their alt modes, Cybertronian jets with the Yellow Squadron colors, and catching up with the others and falling in to formation with Aquila at the front and center. From up high they could see the size of the Decepticon forces approaching the base. Despite not being so massive, the ‘Con forces were something to be wary of if the ‘Bots stationed on this planet had no aerial forces. However, since the Yellow Squadron was with them, they had less to worry about. As they neared the target zone, Yellows 3 and 5 broke off to begin their bombing run while 2, 4, and 13 remained hidden above the clouds. Freefall and Bomblast dove fast towards the ‘Cons and released their weapons. Multiple explosions coupled with flying body parts erupted in different areas of the ‘Con forces. From high up, Aquila, Skyfall, and Talonwing could see the explosions, and the leveled and cleared land that resulted from the bombing

“That’s our cue!” Aquila shouted as they all dove down through the clouds and into the fireworks at full afterburner. As they reached the charred ground they all transformed and began their attacks. Aquila’s long blade and short blade flipped forward as he rocketed into the first Decepticon, running it through the spark chamber with his long blade. He twisted his arm so that the long blade became horizontal and bent his arm out, cutting through the now dead ‘Con’s torso. He spun around and flew forward at another one, stabbing it through the spark chamber and pulling out to cut another one behind him in half. He held both of his arms out to the sides as his thrusters angled opposite and fired off. He began to spin around as he moved to a larger concentration of the Decepticon forces, becoming a “bladed tornado”. Parts of many a Decepticon flew about from his blades. The state of chaos and confusion caused by the bombings worked well to the Yellow Squadron’s advantage which enabled them to take out large numbers of the enemy forces.

While Aquila continued hacking and slashing at the hostiles, Skyfall kept her distance, picking off whomever miraculously survived Aquila’s onslaught with her electromagnetic sniper rifle. A single round for a single straggler while dodging the occasional projectile. A rather large ‘Con managed to get the jump on Aquila, only to find his spark chamber penetrated by a single sniper round and fell lifeless to the ground.

However, there were a few individual ‘Cons in the mass that were above the others. Two of them rushed Aquila, catching him unawares in his abdomen with their blades and pinning him to the ground while another one leaped up and down upon Aquila with a blade. They were ducked low so that Skyfall could not get a good aim at them. Another one of the ‘Cons leaped up, firing a single rifle around at Skyfall, disabling and relieving her of her sniper rifle. A second rifle round penetrated her left leg, causing her to lose her balance and wobble in the air before the same Decepticon smashed her into the ground. Aquila quickly drew his arms in and pushed out, forcing the two ‘Cons that pinned him to the ground and angling his arms, firing the plasma machine guns in his twin shields at the third Decepticon, riddling him with holes and ending his threat. Aquila quickly got to his feet and shouted through his vox at Skyfall.

-[Yellow 4, retreat! That’s an order!]-

Skyfall frantically got to her feet and leaped into the sky, bringing her thrusters to maximum output. However, a sniper round from the enemy forces penetrated through her abdomen, and a second one passed through just below her spark chamber, breaching it. Skyfall fell back to the ground with a crash. Aquila quickly hit afterburner, rushing to her side as the main Autobot force swarmed the battlefield to take care of the remaining Decepticon forces.
A Transformer fanfic I thought of for a long time but never really got around to working on until now. This is based off of the Transformers Desecration RPG that spanned an RPG plus 2 sequal RPGs on BZPower's Completely Off Topic forum.
