Usually Cell City is known for as a small town built around a computer components factory. However today it is being reported on most media types as a battle zone. A small group of Decepticons has attacked the small town in hopes of taking the resources inside the factory. A small band of Autobots have counter attacked the Decepticons to drive them away.

" Whatever you do Autobots, don't them hurt the humans " Jazz, the command figure of the group, bellowed as he fired his rifle at Frenzy.

Red Alert transformed to his root form just in time to catch some flying debris about to strike a Elementary school. The Decepticons Frenzy, Ramjet, and Ratbat were merciless in their attack commanded by Astrotrain. The attacks on the surrounding humans were to occupy the Autobots as Astrotrain attacked the factory. The ruse was working as the three Autobots scrambled to keep the humans out of harms way. Powerglide, who was normally keeping himself busy talking, was now taking pot shots at the enemy while trying to act as a shield for a group of humans. The Decepticons were throwing whatever they could find at humans.

So far the heroes had kept the humans out of harms way, the attack was clumsy to say the least. Red Alert began wondering why the Decepticons chose to attack the small town. It didn't make sense, the town was to small to be a show of power. Until he spotted the components factory, and Astrotrain.

" Jazz, the "Cons are keeping us at bay! I'm gonna show them! " Red Alert yelled as he took off toward the components factory.

" You fool, don't go alone! Let me call in some reinforcements so these suckas don't scrap us. " Jazz shouted as Red Alert raced towards Astrotrain.

Red Alert ignored Jazz as he approached the Decepticon. Astrotrain quickly fired upon the Autobot, causing him to jump out of the way. Losing his temper Red Alert threw himself at Astrotrain. Swinging his fists and cursing he managed to beat the Decepticon down to the ground.

" Stupid piece of trash " Astrotrain muttered as he stood up. With a strong left hook, he knocked the Autobot into a dazed state. The large Decepticon then shoved Red Alert into a power generator.

The power generator exploded blowing Red Alert flying into a nearby lake. He sank deep into the murky water. Nearby Autobot reinforcements drove the Decepticons away from the city. The Decepticons retreated to a small park out of the range of fire.

" We have to return and get the components, or Megatron will surely destroy us" Ramjet spoke as Frenzy paced about. Ratbat began berating Astrotrain for the strategy.

" Why didn't we just do a hit and run, it would have been faster and easier."

"Because" Astrotrain replied, " I knew the Autobots would come. With my plan they have came and thought they ran us off. While you were fighting I managed to arrange the goods so that tonight we can quickly steal the stuff Megatron wants. Just stay hidden Until the Autobots leave."

The Decepticons nodded and separated, hiding themselves among the woodland area. As The Autobot began their efforts to clean up the rubble hat the attack had caused. Jazz noticed Red Alert was missing. He quickly ordered Powerglide to look for him.

" I hope that boy didn't get himself killed " He commented.

In the nearby lake Red Alert slowly rose, his face emotionless. His eyes were dim, he didn't feel quite right.

Ratbat flew about over a gas station, considering robbing it of its energy. A photon blast struck his wing sending him to the ground. He slowly picked himself up, only to see a Autobot step over him. The Autobot raised his rifle and fired again. The blast struck Ratbat in the chest, sending him into stasis lock. Frenzy who was nearby came running to aid his comrade. His efforts were in vain as the Autobots shoulder mounted cannon fired. The blast struck Frenzy, blowing him into pieces. Powerglide saw the fight from the air and quickly flew towards Jazz.

Jazz was unnerved by the report. Last time Red Alert went crazy, he was in danger of self destructing. The AutoBot didn't want anything to happen to their friend.

" them Decepticons must have hurt him enough to damage his mind again..." Jazz spoke

" yeah and this time if he is in danger of going k'boom humans could get hurt" Powerglide cut off Jazz, " you think we can contain him long enough for Rachet to fix him?"

" I hope so, for the humans and Reds sake" Jazz replied, " lets try to get him back to the base before anything can happen." Ramjet flew over the wood area in his jet form. He had decided to abandon Astrotrain and return to the components factory to complete the mission on his own. Suddenly a blast flew up from the woods, striking his boosters. Ramjet plummeted down towards the ground. Transforming just in time to crash into the trees. He stood up, injured from both the blast and the fall. He spotted the Autobot Red Alert standing a few feet from him. Instinctively he raised his weapon arm to fire. Smoke poured out the barrel as a voice from inside his body spoke out.

" Weapons offline"

Ramjet looked up to see Red Alert gone. Deciding that retreat was the best option, he turned around to run. Only to see the Autobot standing behind him. He opened his mouth to shout, however the barrel of the Autobot rifle was shoved inside his mouth at the same instant. The following photon blast blew the back of Ramjets head off. The Decepticon slumped to the ground.

" Holy Smokes," Jazz said as he kicked a piece of Frenzy to the side.

" Yeah, it was hard to watch." Powerglide stated.

" Well, lets hope we catch him before he finds anymore Sara Conners" Jazz retorted, anxious to help his friend.

Astrotrain became bored inside the deserted warehouse he had chose to hide himself inside. He paced around looking for something to entertain him. A light caught his eye. Something illuminated was laying on a table. The Decepticon walked towards the table to see a small flashlight turned on and resting on the table. A fist swung out of the darkness, knocking him off his feet.

Red Alert punched again, striking Astrotrain on the back of his head. Astrotrain spun around throwing Red Alert against some shelving. The shelves crashed down knocking the Autobot down.

" Foolish Autobutt, who are you to think you could ever defeat me," Astrotrain egotistically said. Clutching his large gun, he walked towards the pile of rubble containing Red Alert. He stood over the pile pointing his gun. "Know you will feel what its like to attempt to stop the DeceptcAAAAHRRGGHH!!"

Astrotrain was cut off by Red Alert whose arms shot out of the pile of metal. His hands tore themselves into Astrotrains chest. The Autobot stood up ripping out the insides of his enemy. Astrotrain managed to back away a step before Red Alert grabbed the Decepticons head with both hands. Fingers buried themselves into Astrotrain's head before tearing it apart.

The Decepticons body crashed on the floor as a bright blue blast raced across the warehouse, hitting Red Alert in the chest. The Autobot stumbled, then fell.

" now that was scary" Jazz said, holding a stun rifle " lets get him back to the base and let Rachet fix him up"

Days later Red Alert opened his eyes. He noticed he was on a operating table.

" Feeling better?" Rachet asked " You had us worried there, the damage to your brain caused you to go crazy like you did once before. I gave your head a little extra armor to keep that from happening again. We cant have you lose your mind and possibly explode again, know can we?"

"I suppose not, " Red Alert answered "but do you think I could of self destructed? " " with the damage you obtained..yes I do. You should get some rest, your going to be sore for awhile."

Rachet walked away, leaving Red Alert alone. He felt sadness that he had lost control of himself again. Looking at a nearby computer screen, Red viewed the logs of his actions. Ashamed he cried himself to sleep.

Outside the door, Optimus Prime stood.

" We have all done things we are not proud of Red " Prime said before walking off.

Transformers: Auto Berserk 3

Red Alert stood outside the Autobase on the planet Zone while patiently waiting for the shuttle. Red was just finishing his mandatory rehabilitation session after having surgery on his brain. Fixit, an Autobot medic had created a modulator that would keep Red Alert's unbalanced mind from ever going wrong again. After so much time away, Red Alert was anxious to return to Earth and get back to work with his partner Inferno.

Soon enough the shuttle craft landed allowing the Autobot to board and begin his journey home. Neo-Wheel sat at the controls, piloting the ship as it left Zones atmosphere.

" Wow, it's gonna be real nice to be back on duty" Red Alert said while leaning back in his seat.

"Yeah I bet, just do me a favor.." Neo-Wheel muttered

"Sure anything.." Red Alert answered

"Don't start that nut case crap with me, I didn't want to be pulled away to come get you. And I would rather not have to put you down because you lost your slagging mind" Neo-Wheel stated

"Yeah..I just bet you wouldn't" Red Alert replied, rolling his optics.

Later on Neo-Wheel had the shuttle on auto pilot while the two Autobots were fast asleep in their personal chambers. The shuttle flew through space at a casual pace. The sensors began picking up an anomaly in space. A glowing meteorite flew out off a cluster of space debris and struck head on with the shuttle.

"What in.." Neo-Wheel spurted out, awoken by the tremor "..was that"

Neo-Wheel raced out to the bridge, only to run into Red Alert.

"What's going on?" Red asked

"Dunno, better get up there and see"

The two Autobots raced towards the bridge. The door opened and flames rushed towards their faces.

"The whole place is on fire!" Red Alert yelled, while trying to put out the blaze.

" You don't sa.." Neo-Wheel began to say, only to be interrupted by the nearby control console exploding. The blast sent both Autobots crashing into the wall, knocking them unconscious.

Neo-Wheel awoke in the control room, only to find the fire out. The room was dark, it was apparent the lights had went out during the fire. An unnatural moistness was clinging to everything. Neo-Wheel sat up and saw Red Alert laying on the floor covered in some dark green muck. He walked towards the bot looking him over for damages. Kneeling down, Neo-Wheel noticed a lacrimation on the side of Red Alerts head. A spark shot out ad Reds eyes opened. His eyes were an unnatural dark purple.

Suddenly a roar erupted from Reds mouth as he quickly stood up, knocking Neo-Wheel back. Red Alert, looked over at the fallen Autobot and pounced on him. Neo-Wheel struggled to get away from his attacker. Red Alert foamed at the mouth and snarled as he clawed at the startled Autobot.

Neo-Wheel ran out of the room, closing the doors. He quickly activated the pressure locking mechanism, sealing the threat in the control room. No sooner than the door locked, Red Alerts fist punched though the thick metal hitting Neo-Wheel in the chest. The Autobot fell backwards sliding across the floor.

The Micromaster quickly got up and raced towards his personal chamber to get his gun. The sounds of Red Alerts horrible growling and roaring echoed as the door was torn down. Neo-Wheel grabbed his gun from the shelf on which he left it, turned around and looked back into the hallway. It was empty. Neo-Wheel walked into Red Alerts room, prepared to find him there. However the room was empty also.

Holding his gun out in front of him, the Autobot slowly walked back into the hallway. A loud creaking noise went off behind him. Neo-Wheel quickly turned around and fired his gun. The blast hit the door of his personal chamber, breaking the door into pieces. As he walked down the hall, he saw shadows move from a light source in the control room. He slowly peaked around the torn down door.

A red light blinked on the console, now resting in pieces on the floor. He walked towards it. As he did, the light burned out. A loud banging noise scared Neo-Wheel causing him to turn around and fire his gun. The blast struck the seating area of the control room. Then came a knocking sound. The Micromaster followed the sound out of the control room and into the hallway. The sound stopped for a minute, and started again from inside Red Alerts room. Cautiously Neo-Wheel stepped inside of the room, only to find it empty. The knocking sound stopped again.

The Autobot left the room and entered the hallway. The door to both his and Red Alerts room slammed shut. The pieces of his own rooms door flew towards him, striking his head. Neo-Wheel stumbled and fell to the ground. He rolled over onto his back, looking straight up at the hallway lighting. The light had began flickering, due to the loss of power in the control room. Suddenly the light stop flickering and began burning brightly. So brightly than Neo-Wheel had to cover his optics with his hand.

The light fixture exploded, sending burning metal down on top of Neo-Wheel. He managed to knock the burning material off and scurry over to the side. Resting his back on the wall, Neo-Wheel watched the material burn on the ground. A dark green fluid dripped down form the ceiling and put out the fire. The Micromaster jumped up to his feet and looked up at the fluid that began seeping down from the ceiling. The knocking noise began again from the control room.

Neo-Wheel ignored it as he watched the fluid build up around his feet. Small serpent like creatures began swimming in the fluid. The knocking from the control room got louder and louder. Suddenly screams began pouring out of the control room. Neo-Wheel dashed through the doorway.

Upon entering the control room, Neo-Wheel was confronted by screams of agony pouring out from the walls of the shuttle. Faces had formed into the walls and screamed for Neo-Wheel to kill them. To end the suffering, to make it all stop. The thick fluid has poured into the control room from the hallway. The serpent like creatures swam around the room.

Neo-Wheel was frozen, he couldn't bring himself to move. As the screams grew louder, more fluid dripped from the walls, more serpents appeared. Neo-Wheel couldn't bring himself to move. He watched as the serpents came together and one by one formed a single large serpent. The creature looked at the Autobot with cold, white eyes. Neo-Wheel lifted his gun and fired. The blast hit the serpent, causing it to explode into chunks of meat and green fluid. The mess splattered in the Micromasters optics.

He wiped his eyes, only to see the room was empty. No screaming faces, no fluid, no serpents. Nothing. The knocking sound came from the corner of the room, from the window. Neo-Wheel walked to the window and looked out. Red Alerts face soon filled the window. It was a face of sadness and desperation. It begged for Neo-Wheel to kill it. After a moment the face froze as Red Alerts body drifted away into space. Neo-Wheel shook his head at the sight and turned around. The Micromaster left the control room and walked into his personal chambers. After moving the shards of door aside, he entered the room. Taking Neo-Wheel by surprise, Red Alert stood in the room. With a sudden roar, Red Alert pounced onto the Autobot. At first Neo-Wheel tried to struggle and fight back. However the onslaught of punches from the crazed Red Alert beat the Micromaster into submission. He lied as the down pour of bludgeoning punches broke his face into pieces. He lain still as his body caved in and his internal operations were decimated. His lied still as his spark was punctured by his own chest panels.

Then there was light. Neo-Wheel sat up, he was on Fixit's operating table. Red Alert stood nearby watching as the medic revived the Micromaster. Ultra Magnus stood by watching.

"wh..wha..what's going on?" Neo-Wheel asked

"You were in a accident, a asteroid crashed into the shuttle and really did a number on it. You were pretty banged up, if it wasn't for Red here. The two of you would have been goners" Ultra Magnus answered.

"I'm surprised I could steer that thing back here to Zone in the shape it was, you got pretty banged up when that console blew up. Good thing it was only the communications controls and not the steering units" Red Alert piped in

Neo-Wheel sighed and relaxed his body, he was in good hands with Fixit working on him. He looked over and noticed a small serpent in a jar on Fixit's counter. He blinked and looked around at his fellow Autobots. The room was now empty, except for himself and three large serpents.
