Transformers: Age of Extinction rewrite

Chapter 11: Battle at Hong Kong

We then cut to people running and screaming in the streets of Hong Kong as they are being attacked by the rogue KSI drones all the while Joyce and Sumdac watch the chaos go down from inside the helicopter as they finally arrive at Hong Kong. we then cut to Megatron, Nemesis Prime, and Stinger standing atop the Hong Kong KSI building overseeing the carnage followed by Joyce's helicopter landing in front of the three 'cons. Joyce then steps out of the chopper along with a terrified Isaac Sumdac hiding behind his boss's back for dear life. Joyce looks at Nemesis Prime and tells him "well well well, we meet again Mr. Attinger. it seems you've embraced your new life as a transformer joining forces with Megatron and all. first lockdown and now this, for a guy who claims to hate transformers you sure do love to work with them, quite the hypocrite I say..." followed by Nemesis pointing his Ion blaster at the two, telling them "Don't call me by that name again, Attinger is dead. now there is only Nemesis Prime" Sumdac suggests to Joyce that they get back in the chopper. however Nemesis blows up the chopper with Stinger taunting the two, telling them that they're in big trouble now for disrespecting the leader of Cemetery Wind. Joyce rebuts saying that Cemetery Wind is dead, informing Nemesis that Lockdown blew up their Antarctic base and left the planet. Joyce screams as he notices that he is being backed up towards the edge of the building followed by Isaac Sumdac catching his boss saving him from his fall. the Autobots and Dinobots then arrive at Hong Kong followed by Cade, Tessa, Lennox, Epps, and Santos hopping out of the Autobots vehicle modes allowing Optimus and the others to transform into their robot modes, Optimus noticing Megatron standing atop the Hong Kong KSI building shouting "Megatron!" followed by the five dinobots roaring at the Decepticon leader. Megatron then shouts "Prime! nice to see you again, brother. it's been a while. your new pets do not intimidate me, for I have a new army at my disposal all thanks to the brilliant minds at Kinetic Solutions Incorporated!" followed by Megatron stomping his foot in front of Joyce and Sumdac causing them both to fall off the edge of the KSI building only for them to land on top of Grimlock's snout with Grimlock growling at poor Joyce who cowers at the sight of the mechanical dinosaur. Optimus looks at Joyce, telling him "you were the cause of all this. If you and your scientists hadn't tampered with technology far too advanced for your primitive civilization to understand, none of this would have happened. thanks to your actions humanity is now the one being hunted to extinction!" Joyce begs for his life, saying "I'm sorry okay just PLEASE don't kill us!" Grimlock drops both Joyce and Sumdac, Optimus saying "I won't kill you, for it is against Autobot code to harm humans. but that doesn't mean I will forgive you for what you've done". Cade looks at Joyce in the eyes, telling the KSI CEO "maybe some things just shouldn't be invented" which shakes Joyce to his core while Isaac Sumdac comforts him. Lennox notices people fleeing from the rogue KSI drones, Lennox contacting Director Fairborne to send in some evacuation vehicles so that he and the boys can evacuate some civilians and get them to safety. a platoon of S.T.A.R.S. agents bringing evacuation vehicles with them arrive on the scene via groundbridge followed by S.T.A.R.S. personnel helping get civilians (including Joyce and Sumdac) into the heavily-armored vehicles so that they can be driven to safety away from the city while Lennox, Epps, Santos, Cade, and Tessa shoot down a bunch of mass-produced vehicons giving the evacuation vehicles a chance to escape. Optimus then hops onto Grimlock's back and shouts "Autobots, charge!" followed by Drift hopping on Slug, Bulkhead hopping on Sludge, Crosshairs hopping on Snarl, and Bumblebee hopping on swoop to charge at the hordes of KSI vehicons, the five dinobots all using their fire breath at once in a combined attack that takes out a good chunk of the drones. Nemesis Prime and Stinger both watch before leaping off the KSI building to join in on the action. Optimus Prime then leaps off grimlock to slice his way through mass-produced vehicons with the star saber followed by Gridlock biting a vehicon's head off and saying "Me Grimlock... bad-ass!" and letting out a victory roar before we cut to Crosshairs and Drift leaping off Slug and Snarl to double-team on a couple mass-produced vehicons, Drift taking out two with his katanas while Crosshairs takes out two more with his sniper rifle, shouting "boom, headshot!" before they are confronted by Jetstorm who attacks the two with his electro-whips. Crosshairs dodges Jetstorm's attack and whips out his twin pistols to hit Jetstorm with a barrage of bullets allowing Drift to sneak behind and deliver the killing blow by decapitating Jetstorm with his katanas followed by Crosshairs and Drift doing a bro-fist symbolizing how their arc of going from rivals to friends is now complete. we then cut to Bulkhead leaping off sludge to take out several mass-produced vehicons with his minigun before he runs out of ammo forcing him to switch to using his wrecking ball to bash some vehicon heads until he is confronted by Tankor who fires a barrage of missiles at Bulkhead injuring the Autobot wrecker. Bulkhead then gets back up and dodges the missile fire before smacking Tankor in the face with his wrecking ball causing the vehicon to stumble before Bulkhead punches his fist through Tankor's chest and rips Tankor's core out of his body. Bulkhead tosses the core aside before staring down at Tankor's lifeless shell as he struggles to stand up saying "wreck and rule" before passing out. Bumblebee riding on swoop notices Bulkhead lying on the battlefield and flies in to help out his injured friend saying "don't worry Bulkhead, I'm on my way!" before noticing Stinger leaping off a nearby building to grab onto Swoop's tail, Stinger telling Bumblebee "you'll regret the day you let my beloved Josie die!" as he climbs onto Swoop's back. the two Autobots then have a fist-fight atop the back of Swoop, Bumblebee dodging the blasts from Stinger's stingers before roundhouse kicking him off Swoop only for Swoop to catch Stinger in his jaws and bite the poor human/transformer hybrid in half causing Stinger's bisected body to fall and hit the ground. Stinger's chest compartment opens up so that Savoy can look up at the sky, whispering "Josie... I will see you again soon..." in his dying breath before closing his eyes and passing away peacefully. Megatron watches the Autobots taking out his army one-by-one from atop the Hong Kong KSI building, shouting "Impossible, they're ruining everything!" before leaping off the building and transforming into his new cybertronian jet mode in mid-air to blast off. we then cut to Cade and Tessa along with the commandos being confronted by Nemesis Prime who says "going somewhere, Yeager? I can't let you and your alien sympathizer buddies live after what you've done" reaching down to grab a panicked tessa who reaches for her gun only for Optimus Prime to come save the day and tackle Nemesis knocking him over. Optimus tells Cade and the others to run and get to safety as Nemesis then gets back up and says "Well if it isn't Optimus Prime, we meet again. you won't escape me this time, we've got a score to settle" reaching for his back and whipping out a broadsword of his own. the two primes charge at each other and clash sabers, Optimus locking blades with Nemesis to tell him "you will PAY for the massacre of my Autobot brothers!" followed by Nemesis Prime telling Optimus "Autobots, Decepticons, to me you're all just alien scum who have no business being on planet earth. And I will stop at nothing until i kill EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU if it means defending my planet AND my country!" followed by Nemesis firing a barrage of missiles from his shoulders at an overpass causing debris to fall on top of Optimus trapping him under the rubble, followed by Nemesis lifting his sword saying "this ends here, once and for all!" only for him to get shot at by Cade Yeager followed by him, Tessa, and the commandos surrounding Nemesis Prime. we then cut to Bumblebee leaping off of Swoop to help Bulkhead back up on his feet, Bumblebee asking Bulkhead if he's okay. Bulkhead tells Bumblebee "I'll be fine. We wreckers are tough as steel, a few scratches and dents can't keep us down" followed by Drift and Crosshairs arriving on the scene to help Bumblebee carry Bulkhead's massive weight. We then cut to Nemesis Prime being confronted by the commandos, Nemesis opening up his chest compartment for Attinger to deliver a long-winded rant to the commandos: "you people at S.T.A.R.S. disgust me, you're traitors to your kind all of you, protecting dangerous alien fugitives from those who are trying to save humanity! there are no good aliens or bad aliens, it's us or them... and you've chosen to side with them!" followed by Optimus shooting Nemesis in the back with his ion blaster causing him to stumble. Optimus then lifts himself back up from under the rubble to tell Nemesis "everything you said... is wrong!" before slicing both of Nemesis's arms off with the Star Saber followed by the other Autobots and Dinobots arriving on the scene to corner Attinger/Nemesis Prime who gets down on his knees realizing that he's completely helpless now and at the mercy of Optimus Prime. Attinger begs for Mercy, saying "come on Optimus, you wouldn't kill a defenseless human would you? It is against your own moral code after all, remember?" followed by the Dinobots growling at the defenseless human/transformer hybrid. Optimus scowls and tells Nemesis "you are no longer human" gripping his sword tightly. However Nemesis is suddenly shot in the head by Megatron with his fusion cannon, Megatron looking at Attinger in the eyes telling him "listen here you puny flesh creature, nobody kills Optimus prime but me!" followed by Megatron grabbing the helpless Attinger and ripping him out of Nemesis Prime's cockpit to crush the former Cemetery Wind leader in massive metal hand as he screams for his life, the Autobots and Humans closing their eyes and looking away as Attinger's screams are silenced by a loud "CRUNCH!" noise before we cut to a shot of Megatron looking at his palm now stained with human blood as it drips from his fingers onto the ground. Megatron then turns around to tell Optimus "we'll settle this at a later date, Prime. but I promise, I will come back for you!" followed by Megatron transforming into his cybertronian jet mode and flying off into the stratosphere. Optimus looks up into the sky, telling Megatron "I'll be waiting" while Tessa hugs her father with Cade saying "kinda nice being a hero for a change" with Tessa telling him "you always were all my life" while Lennox stares at the lifeless shell of Nemesis prime, still horrified at the sight of Megatron brutally killing a defenseless human being.
