I apologize for deleting the original post containing this chapter. But I rushed the contents within, so I had to go back and edit it.
Concealed by darkness, two figures drove through a desolate landscape. A black and purple car, alongside a white and light blue off road vehicle. Both drove past dilapidated skyscrapers; driving over a sign bearing its former name. Iacon.
The smaller black car transformed, Flow Spade looked around; Sixshot shifted modes. The two walked around the ruins. “This might be our last visit here.” Sixshot said. “Why?” Flow asked. “I fear Shockwave will know about our activity here.” Sixshot answered. “What lead you to believe this?” Flow asked. “I noticed Sentinels running around here. They’re more common and that worries me.” Sixshot answered. “I’m going to miss this place. The last where you can rest from Shockwave’s rule.” Flow paused. “Calm down Flow, I’m speculating based on our previous times here.” Sixshot answered. “Best we get to exploring and finding anything that might help us.” Flow said. (Sixshot nodded; both faced a large building.
They entered a large room; finding rows and rows of empty shelves on long stretched walls. Sixshot walked down a hall. Flow followed, passing by fallen pillars and deceased frames. The mech looked at the femme) “Something bothering you?” Sixshot asked. “No, I’m looking around.” Flow replied. (Sixshot looked around) “Nothing’s changed, so there isn’t a reason to worry.” Sixshot said.
(Deeper into the room, mech and femme searched for anything. Nothing, except for broken pieces, more frames, and empty shelves. Both continued to wander; red optics glowing to search for more details. Flow sighed) “So, what do you think Megatron is doing?” Flow asked. “Trying to find hope.“ Sixshot replied. “Its like this for two years and now, Autobots are gone for good.” Flow growled. (The Ninja Consultant placed a servo onto Flow’s shoulder) “I understand your fears, knowing that everyone close to you; Empress, Trick, Moon, and Luna are gone.” Sixshot sighed. (Flow glared at a corpse and kicked it)
“Why? Why did they kill Empress?” Flow yelled. “Because we’re Decepticons; Shockwave knew how close Empress was to Megatron.” Sixshot exhaled. (The ninja femme sighed, red optics focused back on the body) “Huh?” Flow mused. (She knelt down next to it) “What is it?” Sixshot asked. (Something clattered onto the ground.
Flow stood up, holding onto a box. She stared at Sixshot) “This.” Flow replied. “Can you open it?” Sixshot asked. “No, its locked.” Flow sighed. “Now to look for a key.” Sixshot mused. “How? Do you know how huge this place is? All the little cracks it could be in.” Flow sighed. “Then let’s start searching.” Sixshot said. (Both continued to look through the darkness.
A yellow optic gleamed against the moon light. Shockwave stood; watching over the city of Kaon. Purple flags hung below, all bearing the Cybertron Guard symbol. Among the buildings was the one he stared at the most. The second tallest building compared to the one he stood on.
One with a glass dome at the top; revealing crystals glowing. Such beauty sealed away; it was logical to hide what he wished for the most. To ensure none would take it away; he turned away from the sight. Leaving the balcony he stood on; passing by the two Sentinels who stood guard.
Footsteps echoed in the dark halls. Lights illuminated below murals; on walls. Each bearing a piece of history. Shockwave standing over his soldiers. Another of Optimus and Megatron, Autobot and Decepticon symbols crumbling. While Optimus’ frame was grey, Megatron still retained color.
The one optic leader stared at one painting. Combiners exiting Kaon, vanishing to the unknown. After the fall of the Decepticon empire. They made a logical choice to flee for their lives. Ignoring all that didn’t bear their technology. Silence, nothing heard from them. It was still a mystery even he couldn’t answer. Shockwave glanced upon another illustration.
Not yet completed; leaving Megatron’s colors in a blotchy manner. Why was it taking the artist this long to do it? Its to be the final piece unless he was to distinguish Megatron’s Spark. Let the emperor join his deceased empress in wherever they go. In the glowing light of the Allspark, or forever rot in the Pit. He sighed, continuing to stare upon the unfinished piece)
“What a nice night for a little walk through memory lane.” Someone whispered. (Shockwave turned; finding Starscream wearing a purple cape. He smirked, bowing before Shockwave) “Your lucky I didn’t fire.” Shockwave said. “I like to introduce myself in such fun ways.” Starscream chuckled. “It is quite strange, fine.” Shockwave said.
(Starscream walked up to Shockwave; turning his helm to the patches of paint on the wall) “When is the artist going to get this done?” Starscream asked. “I ask that myself, for now, I have an important meeting to attend.” Shockwave said. (The purple mech moved towards a door. Starscream slid over to the door as well. It opened, revealing Sentinels. They rolled away, letting the two enter.
Many computer screens showed the city. Sentinels examined the videos; they moved the cameras. Search, find, and destroy. Starscream walked up to one of the drones) “Anything new happened while we were gone?” Starscream asked. (The Sentinel didn’t reply. Starscream groaned; turning to face Shockwave) “We cannot assume something major will happen now. They could be planning. Waiting for the right time.” Shockwave paused. (The Seeker crossed his arms and leaned against a wall) “Including those remaining Decepticons. Any news over the main three?” Starscream asked.
“Nothing, Commander Starscream, they continue to slip from our grasp.” A Sentinel Guard answered. “I still have many things to plan, their still a concern, yet not as much.” Shockwave sighed. “We’re still searching through the city from the Golden Age.” The Sentinel added. “Anything new to reveal Combineropolis?” Shockwave asked. “Nothing yet, my lord, its still a mystery.” The Sentinel explained. “Are you sure that city exists?” Starscream asked. “It’s mentioned in the ancient texts of the Golden Age. I still have nothing to prove it’s existence. I’ll find it and the Combiners. With their power, all Cybertron will come as one.” Shockwave said. “Now that the Autobots are gone, you have to worry over those weak groups. How the mighty Megatron fell.” Starscream laughed. “Continue the search through the fallen cities. Ensure nothing gets stolen; all it is vital.” Shockwave stated. (The drones nodded and drove out of the room.
Deeper within the darkness, two figures continued their path. Red lights scanning each of the empty shelves. Flow gripped onto the box. Sixshot pushed away bodies; turning them over to reveal damage to the floor) “No keys.” Sixshot growled. “Have we tried searching anywhere else?” Flow asked. “Everything, except for this hallway. It was meant for the most top secret information before the war.” Sixshot paused. (He examined another body; Flow kept looking around)
“I found something!” Flow called. (Sixshot pushed away the frame and approached Flow. Both stared at a metal piece sticking out from the rubble. The femme brushed it away, finding the piece attached to the shelf. She pulled it away, finding a key hidden in a slot. Sixshot grabbed it, flipping it with his digits. He turned to Flow, placing the key into the lock and turned it.
The box opened, revealing a small circular object. Flow picked it up, inspecting the item) “Could it be?” Sixshot asked. (It split open, revealing a gem; a holographic image appeared) “All these locations, its Cybertron before Shockwave’s reign.” Flow mused. “I can recognize these places, Iacon, Kaon, Vos, huh?” Sixshot paused. “What’s wrong?” Flow asked. (The six changer pointed to a location at the Sea of Rust) “It’s Combineropolis!” Sixshot declared. “Impossible, I thought it never existed.” Flow mused. “We need to tell Megatron and Soundwave of this.” Sixshot stated.
(Both exited the building, finding themselves within darkness. They drove further away, reaching the city’s limits. Sixshot flew up, Flow turning off her lights as the ground shook. In the darkness, something giant rolled by; Flow’s driving muted by giant wheels. She swerved through the noises. Trying to escape from what she feared.
Soon, Flow transformed and fell to her knees. She noticed bright lights filling the city of Iacon. The ninja femme stared upon it, ignoring the movements from the Ninja Consultant) “I can’t believed we avoided Shockwave’s army.” Flow sighed. “Now, we have something that may bring hope to us.” Sixshot said. (The ninja femme looked upon the object in her servo. It formed the map once again, Flow’s red optics fixated upon it) “Our one hope.” Flow muttered.
What’s this? Another story? Why yes, as I’ve been in a collabrative work alongside a few members of the game Transformers Earth Wars. Its thanks to them that we’ve created a story. Anyways, enough of the rambling, onto the story!
Figures walked down a hall; Shockwave turned his helm to the mechs behind him. Various Decepticons, Starscream among them. “Remember what our plan is.” Shockwave stated. (The Decepticons nodded; Shockwave gave them one nod before pushing a door open.
Greeting them were bright lights, showing rows and rows of Decepticons. The far back having members of different Combiner teams. All showing various emotions on their faces. On a raised platform stood Megatron, Soundwave, Mega Empress, and the 4 Guards. Starscream passed Shockwave, giving him a smirk before jumping onto the stage. Shockwave and other soldiers sat in the front row alongside other elite Decepticons. Megatron stepped forward)
“Fellow Decepticons, its been a long time since this war began.” Megatron started. “Indeed, things are still complicated yet, we’re getting closer to ending the Autobots.” Starscream continued. (Megatron glared at his SIC before returning to stare at his soldiers.
Among the Combiners, was a four member team. One which lacked the Gestalt leader stared at Megatron. One of them grasped a camera, taking photos of the Decepticon leader) “I’m getting pretty good shots.” A Seeker said. (A red Construction mech looked at the Seeker)
“I’m certain that we’ll be able to get better shots once he’s done.” The red mech said. “We need to show how powerful he is for our Gestalt leader.” The Seeker said. “How can photos prove his actions?” The construction mech asked. (The Seeker sighed) “Photos can tell a lot of things. Appearances can be deceiving, although I can sense that power. Raw power able to take down the mightiest of Combiners.” The Seeker paused. “Hey, calm down, Megatron doesn’t need to know of our leader. He’s still resting, although I do wonder if he laughs at our choices.” The construction said. “Enough you two.” Someone said. (The two mechs turned their helms to the sight of an orange colored Soundwave) “Alright, time to getting better shots.” The Seeker said. (He returned focus to his camera.
Megatron lifted a servo, his Fusion Cannon pointed upward) “This marks our anniversary since declaring war upon the Autobots. With what I have planned, it will be their end.” Megatron said. “What are the plans, Megatron?” Starscream asked. “Easy to explain, Starscream. Shockwave assisted in creating new weapons that will turn the tide. The ways the Autobots will fall, it will be a beautiful sight.” Megatron replied. (Cheers filled the room, Megatron’s red optics glowed.
Shockwave stood up; staring at Megatron) “I applaud your speech, Megatron, yet your words are empty. You fulfilled none of what we are to have, this war is never ending. Till now!” Shockwave said. (He fired at Megatron, sending him to the ground. Various Decepticons stood up, firing at the crowd behind them. Parts of the walls fell apart, as other mechs rushed in; shooting upon the shocked Decepticons.
Megatron stood up; a snarl on his face. Starscream and Soundwave stepped in front of him, firing back at Shockwave. A part of the wall behind the platform ripped apart; blaster fire greeted the various mechs. Trick rose her Quake Shield close to Mega Empress, Flow walked up to Megatron. Mega Empress glared as she fired shots from her Rail Fusion Cannon.
Moon and Luna hit the ground, attacked by Starscream. Megatron glared at his SIC before raising his Fusion Cannon, ready to fire. Starscream rose a servo; a smirk on his face. Former Decepticons shoved through Empress, Trick, Flow, and Soundwave. All traitors rose their weapons, the combined fire hit Megatron. He crashed to the ground. Empress looked as the leader hit the ground. Starscream kicked Megatron; a grin on his face) “Pity.” Starscream mused.
(Empress yelled; her ladder slammed into the traitors. Sending them crashing into the chairs. Flow, Trick, and Soundwave stood up) “Get him out of here, now!” Mega Empress yelled. (Her Rail Fusion Cannon aimed at the floor, she fired, creating a large hole. Soundwave grabbed onto Megatron as the he, Megatron, and Trick entered the tunnel. Flow stared at the Decepticon femme) “Your highness.” Flow whispered. “Goodbye.” Empress whispered. (She grabbed the ninja, pressing her into the tunnel before a shot hit her back. She hit the ground, mechs grabbed her, trying to shove down the ladder. Empress shot it, sending debris crashing, covering the hole she made.
Flow hit the ground; she looked up, finding dying lights) “Flow!” Someone yelled. (The purple femme moved her helm, finding Trick and Soundwave holding onto Megatron) “We need to escape.” Soundwave stated. “Lets find out where this tunnel goes. I don’t know how long Empress can hold them back.” Flow said. “Hurry up then!” Trick ordered. (The group started to run.
The Combiner members ran through the streets. Former Decepticons firing at the escaping gestalts. The Combaticons firing through the enemy forces) “We cannot stay here!” Onslaught said. “Then where are we to go?” Breakdown asked. “Home.” Someone said. (Among the teams was four members, lacking a leader) “Back there?” Scrapper asked. “Yes, now we must hurry before Shockwave finds out.” The Seeker said. “Our King is awaiting our return.” The red construction said.
(More Decepticons appeared; firing at the Combiner teams. They continued to run, heading towards the city’s gates. Unaware of what echoed beneath the ground they stood upon.
Ravage leaped over a fallen part of a ceiling. Landing onto a rough part of the ground. He turned his helm to find Soundwave and Trick still carrying Megatron. Flow jumped above the three still conscious mechs and ran) “I may know of this place.” Flow said. “How can we be certain?” Trick asked. “These are old tunnels created to be shelters when the war started. Empress and I explored them. We found a path that could help us escape.” Flow explained. “Where, the outskirts of Kaon?” Trick asked. “No, I know a place where we can hide.” Flow said. (She ran forward, leaving the others to catch up.
Empress struggled, the grip on her captors strong enough to force her to stay still. Starscream smirked, looking at his Null Rays) “A pity their going to die.” Starscream said. (The Decepticon femme’s ladder started to move. A few former Cons grabbed onto the ladder, holding it down) “Starscream, remember what we planned.” Shockwave reminded. “Oh yes, now stay still your highness. It will be painless.” Starscream smirked.
(The Seeker’s Null Ray hit the back of Empress’ helm. One blast forced her to fall. Some guards walked away, carrying her frame. Starscream brushed away smoke marks on his weapon) “Hurry.” Shockwave said. “Now, get to finding Megatron before I do the same to you!” Starscream barked. (The soldiers rushed up to the broken part of the ground, ripping through it and allowing some to squeeze in.
A part of the city’s street collapsed. Flow looked out, finding them empty. She moved her helm, nodding to Trick and Soundwave) “Its safe, we need to hurry.” Flow said. (The two Decepticons below her lifted Megatron. His frame limp as Flow grabbed him. Lifting him up allowed Trick and Soundwave to get up. All looked around; still nothing) “We must go.” Soundwave said. (Flow pointed to a nearby building) “There.” Flow stated. (She started to run towards it. Trick looked at Soundwave) “I hope this works.” Trick sighed. (Soundwave nodded, lifting Megatron up)
(The purple femme knocked on the door. It opened to reveal Sixshot) “Flow Spade?” Sixshot asked. “We have to come in.” Flow said. (The Ninja Consultant stepped back, letting everyone enter) “What happened?” Sixshot asked. “Do you have any hiding places?” Flow asked. (Sixshot nodded) “Why do you need one?” Sixshot asked. “Did you hear anything outside? We were almost killed.” Trick growled. “We’ll explain it later, for now, please hide us.” Flow said. (Sixshot started to walk around; Trick looked at Flow) “You think Empress and the sisters made it?” Trick asked. “I fear they didn’t.” Flow replied. (Trick frowned)
“Found it!” Sixshot yelled. (The two femmes looked at the Ninja Consultant; finding him near a bookshelf. He tipped one book and stepped back.
The bookcase swung open, revealing a plain wall. Sixshot lifted a part of it from the ground) “How big is this space?” Trick asked. “Big for you, now get in here.” Sixshot ordered. (Flow ran up to Soundwave and Megatron) “We need to get going. Need help?” Flow asked.
(Soundwave shook his helm, lifting the unconscious Megatron off the floor. The two began to walk to the secret passage, watching as Trick entered. Sixshot nodded as Flow and Soundwave followed. He placed the wall down and pushed the bookcase back. Tipping the book back to its regular spot) “Now comes the waiting game.” Sixshot thought.
(Silence filled the room, Flow stood close to the entrance to where they hid. Trick sat close to Soundwave and Megatron) “How long will we stay here?” Trick asked. “I wish I knew.” Flow sighed. (She looked at Megatron’s frame) “How did we let this happen?” Trick asked. “It slipped right through us, Shockwave, he reduced our grand celebration to ashes.” Flow growled. (Soundwave nodded, readjusting Megatron’s frame.
Time passed, seeming like forever. Everyone stayed together. All optics focused on where the voices echoed outside. Those screaming of their existence. Sixshot remained silent after all that happened)
“Have you seen any Decepticons running around?” A former Con asked. (Sixshot leaned against a wall) “No, I quit my rank long ago. I didn’t see any Decepticons, I’ve stayed in my house so I’m unaware of the situation.” Sixshot said. (The soldiers whispered things, Sixshot stood still, trying to listen to the conversation)
“No Decepticons are in here anyways.” Another former Decepticon asked. “Yeah, I looked everywhere in here.” Another soldier said. (Sixshot sighed as they ran out of his house. He walked outside of his room and looked outside. They were chasing some escaping Decepticons. Sixshot closed the door, running up to his bookcase.
It opened, shedding some light into the dark room) “They left.” Sixshot said. “Good.” Soundwave replied. “So, now what?” Trick asked. (All turned their helms at the sound of a faint groan.
Megatron cracked open his optics; Soundwave knelt down) “Master, how are your systems?” Soundwave asked. “Painful, and Shockwave?” Megatron croaked. “His soldiers are searching for us, we’ve managed to escape from them with Flow and Sixshot.” Soundwave explained. “Where are the others?” Megatron whispered. “Killed or missing; I saw the gestalts escaping first as the others fell.” Soundwave answered. “Who are among the dead?” Megatron asked. “A few soldiers, I couldn’t see the killing as I busy on protecting us.” Soundwave replied. “How could this have happened?” Megatron asked. (Soundwave didn’t say anything; Trick stood up)
“I need to go.” Trick said. “What?” Flow asked. “I need to find Moon and Luna or any other survivors, they escaped and I’m willing to risk it.” Trick said. “Where are you going to start?” Flow asked. “I’ll find out.” Trick said. (She walked away, Sixshot watched as the femme left) “So sorry.” Sixshot apologized. “For now, we need to focus on Megatron.” Flow sighed. (The remaining Decepticons looked back at Megatron.
Shockwave walked into a room; Starscream behind him as soldiers killed various Decepticons. The two continued to walk further down the hall) “So, how far are we in conquering Kaon?” Starscream asked. “Almost done, still, Megatron and Optimus will all fall in our power.” Shockwave replied.
