Bludgeons Base, China

     Bludgeon raised his blade over Ironhides head.
      "Game over.." He said, but suddenly, gunfire rained inside the cave. Whirl has arrived back with NEST forces.
      "CONCENTRATE ALL FIRE ON BLUDGEON AND ANY REMAINING PROTOFORMS!" Colonel Lennox yelled, as he lead his team to battle. Bludgeon attempted to strike at Ironhide, but a rocket hit him in the face.
      "We shall meet again, Ironhide.." Bludgeon said slyly, as he transformed and started to drive off quickly. The rest of the enemy forces were killed by the strike team and NEST forces.
     "I'll send a team to track Bludgeon, we cannot pursue if he does go so far-" Lennox said, before being interrupted.
    "NO! I will.. go after him.. with Whirl.." Ironhide said.
     "Old friend, you are too injured to pursue. If you do, Bludgeon could easily kill you." Ratchet said to Ironhide.
     "I would rather die fighting him than   not attempt to." He said in response. He transformed and started to drive, Whirl following.
    "Ironhide, I see Bludgeon, west of here, and he is nearing a waterfall area." Whirl said in air, turning to the left, and following.
     "I see him.." Ironhide said, transforming and firing his cannons at the decepticon. Bludgeon, with no options, transformed to avoid the shots.
     "You never listen Ironhide." His back, where the tanks barrel would be, slowly transformed to where the barrel was on his side. He fired it at Ironhide, and made the shot. The veteran autobot fell back into the trees as Whirl landed and transformed, pulling out dual swords.
     "We can finally end this, Bludgeon. Give up now before I am forced to kill you." Whirl said as he twirled his blades.
     "Agreed..YAAAAAH!" Bludgeon charged with his sword, taking a offensive strike against Whirl. Whirl, being a bit taller than Bludgeon, slashed his shoulder and kicked him to the side. Whirl slammed his blade down, grabbing Bludgeon.
     "Hope you were ready to die." He grabbed his other blade, getting ready to strike down.
     "Oh I do not think so..." Bludgeons cannon barrel reappeared to his side, blasting into Whirls chest.
     "Yeagh!" Whirl yelled, as his spark was half blown out. He fell to his knees, then fully collapsing.
     "Whirl, no!" Ironhide shouted. He had gotten back up. He stood completely still as he saw one of the purest autobots, fall on the ground, nearly dead.
     "He shall join your weak friend Jazz soon.." Bludgeon remarked, then hysterically laughing. Some how, inside Ironhide, a spring had snapped. He charged at Bludgeon, firing both cannons, hitting the decepticon multiple times.
     "FOR JAZZ!" He shouted, as he slammed his fist into Bludgeons face, as the cons blade fell out of his hands. "FOR BLOWPIPE!" He picked up the blade, swinging the handle into Bludgeons face again. "FOR WHIRL!" He shoved the blade into Bludgeons left shoulder, slashing down, cutting off his arm. He dropped the cons blade, and grabbed his rifle.
     "Rust in hell, you punk ass decepticon." He fired a lone round into the decepticons chest, knocking him off the edge and into the water. NEST Forces arrived minutes later, surrounding Whirl.
     "I am afraid to say the wounds are fatal. I did everything I could." Ratchet said. Ironhide walked to his dying comrade.
     "Ironhide..thank..you..for..everything.." Whirl said, his hands trembling.
     "You were a good soldier.." Ironhide said in response. Whirls eyes slowly drained from color into a grey darkness. He had passed.
     The autobot forces did repairs and soon left China to go back to Optimus. The battle was over, but Bludgeons fate was unknown to the autobots.
