User blog:Bzero/Slamdance - Fall of Valvolux

Slamdance stands outside the walls of Valvolux, which have definitely seen better days. One section has been completely destroyed, and armed Decepticons guard the breech. Jet fighters roar overhead as they patrol the skies. Damaged Decepticon siege weapons remain outside the city, no longer needed. Slamdance’s voice is calm as he reports the situation.

“Last night Decepticon forces led by Shockwave and Overlord smashed through the walls of Valvolux, overwhelming Autobots forces, who were forced to retreat inside the city.” Slamdance’s report is interrupted by the exchange of sniper-fire in the background. Slamdance simply waits for a break in the shooting and then continues. “While the city isn’t completely lost, ground-level street-to-street fighting is said to be intense.”

“Search and rescue operations continue as Autobots and Valvoluxians work together to get wounded civilians out of the combat area,” Slamdance continues. “Tensions are high, because with Overlord’s reputation, securing the city could quickly become an energon bath. In the meantime all the Autobots can do is hold them back as long as possible, evacuate who they can, and hope. This is Slamdance, reporting for ABN.”
