Chapter
1: Debates and Secrets
It is 20 years after Megatron and Optimus
died reformatting Cybertron and since then much has happened. The Tripredacus
council was abolished and many Predacons were forced to defect to the Maximals
or were executed. Some Maximals thought his act was barbaric, others thought it
was necessary. However even with such prejudice many Predacons remained loyal
and made terrorist attacks and resulted in killing several Maximals. So this
issue was continually debated among the Maximal elders.
"We must find and crush all of the Predacons,
before they can get energon and begin yet another war" One Maximal elder
argued.
"No, they are weak as it, let them defect or wait
for them to die out!" Another argued
"Die out! Ha! We must find these Predacons and
crush them quickly, especially their leader Deceptitron." Yet another Elder
argued.
Optimus Lionheart sat at the head of the elder council
and was getting a head ache from listening to these arguments over and over. He
sat in a spherical room where he sat at one side and the other council members
on the other. Constantly all the members of the Maximal Elders council disputed
the affair and Optimus was forced to listen. He was appointed the next Optimus
as he was Optimus Primal's son. He thought at about how he would handle this
situation. He thought at how Optimus prime would have handled it, but mostly he
thought of how he should handle it. He did not want to kill them, but far too
many innocent Maximals had been killed in their terrorists' attacks.
"Enough," Optimus said, interrupting the
squabbling of the Maximal elders. "I do not want to scrap any more
Predacons. But I do not want to see another terrorist attack or Maximal
die.."
"But to stop terrorism we must kill the
Predacons." an elder interrupted.
"I am aware of that, but instead of killing them
all, we shall only kill their leaders. Deceptitron, Beetelix, Shell-Shocker,
Crocovile, Octobot and Switchblade. All powerful, influential Predacons. If we
get rid of their leaders, the Predacons will squabble and kill each other. It is
the easy, less barbaric way to go." Optimus explained.
"But we've searched for them before, they are well
hidden." An elder implored, contradicting Optimus.
"Meeting Adjourned" groaned Optimus who was
thankful to have yet another meeting over. The door slid open behind him and
Optimus expected to see crowds of Maximals, fighting against his less Barbaric
act, filling the corridors, but the only Maximal was his best friend Hippox
You look like scrap", Hippox said.
"Probably as I've got half the people of Cybertron
barking at me for not wanting to crush all the Predacons." He sighed as he
and Hippox walked down the long metallic corridor.
"Well if the Predacons had this opportunity do you
think they wouldn't kill you and all of us, if they had the chance."
"I guess not, but this is what makes Maximals
different to Predacons."
"Now I see why you were made Optimus and given the
Matrix of Leadership."
"Hmm thanks old friend, but what ever happens, I'm
always going to have enemies"
"And Friends" Hippox said as he put his hand
on Optimus shoulder.
"Well that reminds me, where are the others?"
Optimus queried.
"On the ship installing the new hyper drive
engine." Hippox replied
"Good tell them to fire it up."
"Why, where are we going?"
"No where, we have to defend the incoming energon
from Cybertronian Moon?"
"Defend it. From who?"
"The Predacons"
"But they have no ship."
"They do. They have one of the best dam ships ever
built."
"How? They are hiding in the underground catacombs.
There nothing there but scrap."
"And one of the best ships ever built. You see in
the Great War plans were made to great a war craft to end the war. It was called
the Utopia. It was meant to be a far more enhanced version of the Nemesis. But
was never built as the technology was so far behind the ship could not possibly
be built. But in all the hectic ness of my father and his crew disappearing,
materials and technology were stolen and the ship was created, luckily we were
able to stop it being launched, but since it was so huge we could not take it
away so hid it and left it in the catacombs. However we tried to stop them
getting to the catacombs but we were too late."
"How do you know they have got to the ship?"
"I don't, but we can't let them get that energon,
if we do, they'll have more than enough to power the ship completely and could
destroy Cybertron."
"You mean the ship is not at full power?"
"Exactly, but there should be enough power to get
it off the ground, but not enough for the weapons."
"So that is why you wanted the hyper engine. To
outpace the Utopia and attack it before it even gets away from Cybertron."
"Yes. It should work out.." suddenly a
crackling voice buzzed in on Optimus' com link. "Lion heart" Optimus
informed
"Zzzz...Optimus the energon is approaching
Cybertron...Zzzz it's only a few 1000 meters away...zzzzzzzz"
"A few 1000, why wasn't I informed before?"
Optimus questioned
"Zzzz...Our communications.zzzz have been jammed...zzzz"
The COM link went dead.
"I don't like this." Optimus' face went deadly
serious. "Let's go" Optimus ordered and he immediately ran down the
corridor towards the docking platform, with Hippox following close behind.
"Sharpshot prepare the ship for takeoff" Optimus shouted through his
COM link.
Chapter 2: Treachery Sharpens the Nerves
Through the corridors of the
Maximal landing platform, the constant clang of steel against steel could be
heard as Optimus along with Hippox ran desperately down the corridors hoping to
reach their ship the Criscindo, which contained the rest of their crew, Xenon,
Night Swooper and Sharpshot. As they got closer and closer towards the landing
bay, Optimus pulled out his COM link.
"Data, scan all of Cybertron and give me a complete
list of all ships departing from Cybertron", Optimus commanded thorough the
COM link to data a satellite orbiting Cybertron.
"Acknowledged" Data replied, suddenly there
was a sound of scanning and buzzing, which only lasted a few seconds, and then
data replied. "0 ships are departing from Cybertron."
"0 ships., but." Optimus stopped just as they
had reached the blast doors as he pondered the possibilities of why the
Predacons had not yet departed, but his thoughts were cut short as Hippox
said" Optimus if that ship is as powerful as you say it is, I don't think
we have time to think about why the Preds aren't showing."
"I know, but this just isn't right. Deceptitron.
never mind lets go." Optimus answered.
The blast doors flew open and in the cockpit of
Criscindo, Sharpshot was preparing the ship fro lift off. As Sharpshot saw
Optimus and Hippox enter he called to them. "Hey are we going to let the
Predacons get that energon or are we going to go up there and shove hyper drive
up there big Utopia shaft!"
"You already told them?" Hippox questioned
"I thought it would push them to get the drive
installed quickly," Optimus explained as he and Hippox entered the ship and
got into the cockpit with the other members of the crew. "You did install
it, right?"
"Yeah, we installed the hyper drive", Night
Swooper said as he burst into the cockpit. "Our ship is the most highly
advanced ship ever built," Night Swooper said pleasing himself.
"I wish that were only true," Optimus mumbled
to himself.
"What?" Xenon said who had just finished
scanning Cybertron for any more ships departing, for the 5th time.
"Nothing, Xenon and Night Swooper go and take the
weapons. I'm relying on you to take out the Predacons and stop them getting the
energon." Optimus said changing the subject.
"Don't worry Optimus, if it moves, I'll shoot
it." Xenon ensured Optimus.
"Yeah, those Preds are dead." Night Swooper
implored.
"Good, Sharpshot you must fly the ship, remember to
get as close to the Utopia as you can, that way the weapons' attacks will be
more powerful." Optimus ordered.
"Nice to see you finally give me a decent mission.
Finally got faith in me, huh." Sharpshot remarked.
"I've always had faith, but you have only just got
a hold of your skills." Optimus told Sharpshot.
"Yeah right," Sharpshot
muttered,"preparing for lift off" Sharpshot said as he pressed a
couple of buttons on the control console in front of him. The Criscindo's hyper
drive began to whirl and the ship lifted of the ground and flew out to space to
protect the energon.
Mean while the Predacons greatest generals lead by
Deceptitron were trying to take off. Switch blade the only female Predacon
returned to the cockpit, where the others were, as she had gone to inspect the
engines for any malfunctions that might have occurred which was stopping them
taking off.
As the doors to the cockpit opened Deceptitron stood in
they entrance blocking Switch blade entering.
"Well?" He asked.
"There was nothing wrong. Shell shocker must have
got the power connection wrong" she said coldly.
"Impossible. I made the connection 8 times. There's
no way it is faulty." Shell shocker sneered, who was sitting at the
scanner.
"Well maybe the energon was raw." She
suggested.
"No way." Beetelix began, but Deceptitron
signaled him to keep quiet, just after he stood up.
"It appears you are searching for an excuse. Tell
us Switch blade, is there something you are hiding." Deceptitron asked and
then made a despicable smile.
"No.the engines are fine!" She snapped
"Really, well I sent Octobot to double check the
engines. Let's see what he has to say. Octobot report." He turned on a
screen at the main console and the Predacon Octobot appeared.
"Ha, that little femme bot has double crossed us,
the engines have been over filled." He then showed the engine that had
liquid energon bubbling out of them. "Someone allowed it to over
fill."
"It was a set up," she protested.
"Really.so why are you holding a TF-9 grenade in
your hand?" Her face was shocked and she was then about to throw the
grenade, but Crocovile appeared behind her and pulled the grenade out,
deactivated it and tossed it to Deceptitron. "So you were planning to kill
us. Tell me the Maximals paid you to do this."
"No Florax paid me. 1000 energon chips. We all
wanted you and your crazy ideas dead. Because of them, were all as good as
dead." She told him.
"So you would rather be Maximal than a
Predacon."
"If it means life, yes!"
"We cant except traitors Switch blade. But we'll
give you a special mission. Since we are behind schedule due to your little
escapade, you must attack the Maximal ship and stall them till we can get to the
energon and take it before they know what's going on."
"But that's suicide."
"That's a punishment."
"Crocovile take her away" Crocovile who was
still standing behind her grabbed her arms and pulled her out of the cockpit and
down the corridor to the escape pods. He hit the open button to the pod and
threw her in." No Crocovile. We can work together and kill Deceptitron."
Pleaded Switchblade. Crocovile refrained from closing the pod and just stared at
her. "Please," she whimpered. "No traitor!" He hit the close
button the pod's hatch slid shut and it burst from the ship and hurtled towards
the. Suddenly it hit the ship with a mighty crash.
"What the hell is that" Xenon cried
"Eh were under attack! It's the Preds," Night
Swooper yelled.
"No, it's not, it is a escape pod. Sharpshot try to
evade it." Optimus ordered, but as soon as he had said it had collided into
the ship and all of the Maximals were thrown around.
"That came from Cybertron!" Sharpshot said,
still a bit shaken.
"Yes we are very close, but why would they be
launching a pod. Cybertron come in." Hippox said as he pressed the COM
link, but there was no reply.
"The communications have been blocked. I figured it
out on Cybertron. The Preds didn't want us to know the energon was approaching.
Night Swooper, find out who is in the pod and patch up that hole." Optimus
ordered.
"But how?" Night Swooper asked.
"Take a big layer of steel, throw it over the hole
and bolt it down!"
"Why me?" He complained.
"Because I said so!" Night Swooper even though
he wanted to complain some more, turned off the link. Got out of the Proton
cannon room and walked to the wall. He pressed a few keys into a control box and
a door slid open. He pooled out a bolting gun and a sheet of steel. He mumbled
as he approached where the hole was. He was about to cures Optimus again, when
suddenly he was pulled off his feet and was drawn ever closer towards s the
hole. He franticly tried to grasp some of the ship. But in his panicky state he
couldn't get a hold of anything. He got closer and closer and was almost out of
the ship, when the bolting gun's strap got caught on a sharp piece of steel in
the hole. He then took a deep breath and grabbed hold of the strap. He began
pulling himself slowly, but surely towards the hole. However much to his horror,
the strap began to break, thread by thread. The Maximal again tried to pull on
the strap to move forward, but this broke the strap completely and he was flung
out of ship and into space. However he then turned to robot mode, a space
cruiser and flew back in. "I don't know why didn't do that before." He
chuckled to himself, grabbing hold of an iron bar in the ceiling of the
corridor. He then threw the steel sheet over the hole and bolted it down.
"Woo that was fun!" He chuckled. Suddenly a voice sounded on the COM
link. "Night Swooper, are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fin..", he began but was interrupted
by
"Who was in the pod?"
"I don't know, let me check." He said as he
approached the pod and began trying to pull the hatch off. "Eh it's
stuck!"
"Press the button genius!"
"Oh yeah", he said as he did what Hippox
suggested. The hatch slid open and he peered inside. But no one was there.
"Hello? No ones here. It was a blank. Someone must of been screwing
around," he said as turned away from the pod.
"Impossible, it says we got a visitor on the
scanner."
Night Swooper then froze. He turned around slowly and
turned to see a battle ready Switch blade.
"Prepare to die Maximal, she yelled as she leapt at
him.
Chapter
3: Power and those who wield it
Optimus and Switch blade moved
swiftly through the ship too meet Sharpshot in the cockpit, passing steel
girders and metallic corridors. Meanwhile Xenon had also been informed to meet
in the cockpit, but when he made his way there he found an unconscious Night
Swooper in statis lock. So his journey was lengthened to take him to the CR
chambers. Eventually in the cockpit the 3 Maximals all gathered to discuss what
they should do with Switch blade. "Slag her!" Xenon roared. "Look
what she did Night Swooper."
"I agree her story doesn't make sense. If she
wanted to join us, why didn't you cow to us, instead of sneaking round our ship
and tweaking our shields?" Question Night Swooper.
"Because you would have blasted me on site."
She protested
"Maximals don't do that, maybe Predacons shoot
first, and if were lucky, ask later, but we don't." Optimus informed her.
"Why did you try to scrap Night Swooper?"
Xenon asked angrily.
"He tried to kill me!" She answered.
"Sounds like Night Swooper." Sharpshot
confessed.
"But why did u put him into statis lock. His
wounds show more than self defense." Xenon questioned.
"Just because I wanted to be a Maximal, doesn't
mean I stop fighting like a Predacon." She answered coolly. Sharpshot
glanced at Optimus, and he knew what he was thinking. Poor answer.
"I say we trust her. We have lost 2 Maximals
already. We need all the help we can get." Optimus said.
"But." Xenon and Sharpshot began, but
Optimus silenced them. "We have more important things to worry about.
Sharpshot, on the scanners where did the Predacons appear?" Optimus asked.
"Here," Sharpshot replied pointing at the
scanners. "Not close to the energon. It looks like they had only just taken
off."
"They are using a cloaking device, we presume.
The Utopia had one in it, but it was very dated. We should be able to counter
it. Sharpshot prepare an electro magnetic pulse." Optimus ordered.
"No problem." He relied
"Problem." Optimus answered. "Is it
needs to cover the whole radius of the atmosphere around Cybertron. Since we can
not track the Utopia, we need the EMP big enough to cover the area where the
ship could be. Xenon and Switch blade. Arm the quasar cannons. Use targeting
mode. The cloaking device makes the ship appear yellow. If you see it informs
all of us. That way we can deploy the EMP and give all power to the weapons.
Remember I want that ship destroyed."
"What are you going to do?" Xenon asked.
"Fly the ship." Optimus said and smiled.
"I'm going to have to try cutting Deceptitron off forcing him to turn
giving us more time.
"How will you know which route he takes?"
Xenon asked, again.
"I won't, but maybe I'll get lucky." Optimus
smiled even more. Sharpshot gave him a confused look and the 2 Maximals and the
Predacons left to fulfill their duties. While Optimus sat at the flight console
and relived some old memories.
"Deceptitron", Crocovile said deeply,
"the Maximals are approaching us fast."
"So Lionheart. You are leading this
mission." Deceptitron mumbled bitterly. "Turn."
"But Sir, we can just move past them." Shell
shocker protested.
"You foul, there guns would detect us if we got
that close. Then they would launch an EMP and our cover would be blown. Then
they would have al of Cybertron ships come up here and we would die, along with
all Predacon hopes of ruling Cybertron." Deceptitron explained. "I
want to stay undetected. Optimus may have a trump up his hand but so do we. When
we have the energon, we'll blow him out of the sky." The Utopia slowly
turned away from the hurtling Criscindo and suddenly Switch Blade saw the ship
appear in targeting mode for around a nano click. But it then disappeared.
"Switch Blade seen anything?" Optimus asked
over the COM link.
"..No. nothing." She answered
unconvincingly.
Optimus then asked Xenon. "Well targeting mode
just went completely yellow. Think it's them?" Xenon replied
"I know it is", Optimus remarked. "Sharpshot,
how's the EMP coming?"
"Give me a few more nano clicks." Sharpshot
replied.
"Brace for a sharp turn." Optimus called.
"Was that a Sharpshot joke," Sharpshot
laughed. But Optimus couldn't reply as he turned the ship right in front of the
Utopia.
"Optimus I got it it’s right in front of
us." Xenon said excitedly.
"Acknowledged. All power going to weapons."
Optimus said a she tapped into the ships power source and gave most of it to the
guns.
"Hey Predacon." Xenon said to Switch blade.
"Blow that ship to scrap." But she did not reply, however Xenon did
not care he pulled his hand on the trigger and let hell loose on the Utopia.
Huge discs of energy burst out of the cannons and hit with a giant impact on the
Utopia. The Utopia was thrown to the side and began to tilt. The Predacons were
thrown all over the ship.
"Shell shocker!" Deceptitron screamed,
"Turn! Turn!"
"The ship is too big, we can't turn
sharply!" Shell shocker pointed out.
"BAH! All power to shields!" Deceptitron
yelled.
"But..." Shell shocker began.
"I know, I know." Deceptitron said. Shell
shocker opened the power console and put all power to the shields. Soon a green
shied swept over the ship and soon the discs of energy bounced of the Utopia
into space. However the constant impact still continued to tilt the ship and
rained the ships shield and power.
"Sharpshot launch the EMP!" Optimus
commanded.
"Right" he replied and he pulled out a small
EMP and connected it to a satellite link. From the satellite a wave of blue
electro magnetic pulse swept out and caused the Predacon's scanner dampers,
shields and cloaking device to short circuit. In front of the Maximal ship was
the Utopia falling into space
“Open fire!" Optimus yelled and Xenon began
firing the quasar cannon. Sharpshot then ran to Switch Blade, noticing that only
Xenon was shooting.
"What is the matter?" Sharpshot asked.
"Afraid to shoot your own team! Let me help you." Sharpshot then
pushed Switch blade out of the weapons seat and got hold of the triggers and
joined Xenon shooting the Utopia. "The ship is falling, they must be losing
power!" Optimus cheered. "Let's get a little closer!" He pulled
the levers forward and the Criscindo glided over the Utopia. The energy blasting
from the cannons finally broke through the shields and pierced the ship.
"Yes closer, Lionheart, closer!" Deceptitron yelled. "Octobot
fire!" Octobot, who was manning the auto weapons, pressed the trigger and
blast of energy penetrated the bottom of the Criscindo. "What the?"
Sharpshot asked. "Those blasts came from the ship. It has got power. It has
got weapons. Oh no! Optimus it’s got weapons get away from it now. Maneuver!
Maneuver!" he yelled over the COM link.
"I thought you upgraded the shields" He
turned to Switch blade.
"I did. I don't understand." She said
"I do. You didn't upgrade our lasers. You took
the power away from them. Now get out of here before I slag you myself."
Switch blade ran out of the armory, while Sharpshot took the guns and began
shooting them again.
"Sharpshot aim at the bridge ok!" Xenon
ordered to Sharpshot over the COM link. "It's where the power cells are and
they will lose weapon power and shied power."
"Ok, good idea," Sharpshot replied.
"Optimus go away from the guns and towards the bridge."
"I'll take care of the flying just take out the
power cells." Optimus ordered. The Criscindo then glided over the Utopia
evading the blasts of energy from the Utopia's gun and made its way to the
bridge. Sharpshot and Xenon then focused their fire power at the bridge and soon
the power cells exploded. "Yes! It's going down. It's over!" Optimus
cheered.
"Woooohhoooo!" Xenon roared.
"Wait, wait. The Utopia's main weapon is active
It's powering up. It's going to launch. Optimus evade it!" Sharpshot cried
"No Deceptitron" Optimus yelled. He opened a
link to the Utopia. "Deceptitron if you fire, your ship will overload
causing it to destruct. The impact will be so devastating both our ships will be
destroyed and Cybertron could very well be caught in the blast. That would mean
the death of all Transformers, Predacon and Maximal!"
"If it means you die, so be it" Deceptitron
cackled with sheer delight and launched the Utopia's main weapon, which had been
powering up for all this time. A huge stream of yellow light began pouring out
of the front of the main weapon. However soon the light started spreading out of
the whole ship and destruction was imminent.
"Goodbye, Optimus Lionheart!"
"Nooooooooo!!!!"
Chapter
4 Great Losses and Great Trust
Sharpshot and Xenon looked on in disbelief and saddened awe as their once great a ship the Criscindo burst into flames. Shards of it flew past them and bounced harmlessly off the giant hull of the gunning quarters. The 2 stood motionless lost in a sea of emotion. They had lost their leader and their ship. Optimus had sacrificed his life so they could live. But now the Predacons had their chance to get the energon and take over Cybertron. But none of that seemed to matter now, as they floated slowly through space it was over. They could do nothing to prevent it happening, nothing either of them say could bring back Optimus.
“What do we do now!” switchblade yelled. She was worried about the 2. They had said nothing and had seemed to have forgotten about her presence. She did not like this one bit. She was stuck in a huge piece of junk with 2 Maximals, her sworn enemies and there was no way of maneuvering the ship at all. She moved in front of them and screamed “Tell me! Tell me now! How do we get out? How do we land this piece of scrap?” She grabbed Sharpshot in a fury and pulled him off his seat and brought him face to face with herself. “Listen Flyboy, tell me or I’ll beat your circuits so bad there wont be enough left of you to fill an exhaust pipe.”
Sharpshot looked up to her, unconvinced by her threat, by in his optics was a look of sadness not aggression. He opened his mouth to speak but Xenon interrupted.
“Look fembot, this is the gunning quarters not the control bridge. We got no way of controlling this section of the ship. Where it lands and where it goes is all going to be dependent on the force were being sent in. We will only land when we come into contact with something.”
“How long will that be,” Switchblade asked in a rather frightened tone.
“A cycle to a millennia” Sharpshot answered still full of sorrow. Switchblade loosened her grip and Sharpshot walked back to his seat.
But none of that matters now.” He said a she sat down. “Your buddies will have gotten the energon powered up their big ‘ol warship and once again Cybertron will be controlled by the Predacons.”
“Bet that makes you really happy.” Xenon said to Switchblade scornfully.
“It doesn’t .One I won’t be able to get there in time for the party or get my slice of the power and do you think I wanted to invade your ship by choice. Deceptitron betrayed me. He sent me to attack you. I don’t care about this war anymore. Count me out of it.” She replied propping herself in the corner of the room and looking sorry for her self.
“It isn’t that easy sister!” Xenon snarled. “Once you join this war there is no out. You either win or die trying. Once you start there’s no going back.”
“Either rejoin the Preds or join-. “ Sharpshot began but suddenly, the targeting computers began showing an alert of a strange anomaly. “An electro magnetic storm!”
“They can rip holes in the fabric of time.” Switchblade cried.
“So they’ll make short work of us and this ship” Xenon responded while he and Sharpshot armed the guns again. “We got anymore EMPS?”
“Eh remember I had to build it? We don’t have time for another one. These storms are attracted by electricity. They suck all beings with electrical circuits dry and release it as one mammoth of a lightening bolt. If we shut down the ship, it won’t be attracted to us. And won’t deplete the ship of its power.” Sharpshot explained
“Eh Einstein we have electricity running through our circuits. That storm will kill us too.” Switchblade said scornfully.
“So we go into statis lock. We will be in an almost dead state and won’t be affected by the storm. “Sharpshot then moved to the control mains. “I’ll programme the ship to reboot and wake us in over 5 mega cycles; we should have passed the storm by then. Ship shut down in a nano click.”
“But...” Xenon began, but before he could finish Sharpshot pulled him to close to him, so Switchblade couldn’t hear them.
“C’mon Xenon. Don’t tell me you’re still worried about Switchblade
“Well…” Xenon said uneasily.
“I doubt she still wants to kill us, while were heading to what could be our graves. Just trust me buddy.”
“Ok Sharp. You have to be right sometimes.” Xenon laughed. Sharpshot smiled and said
“Night old friend” As Xenon programmed his statis lock system. “See you in a cycle” Xenon answered as his optics faded and he entered a deep peaceful state.
“Switchblade…” Sharpshot started, but Switchblade was not going into Statis lock while among tow of here enemies.
“Forget it flyboy. This fembot isn’t fooled that easily. When I’m all nice and sleepy you’ll scrap me for sure.” Sharpshot prepared to answer but the onboard computer interrupted.
Shutdown in 10
clicks
“We haven’t got time, you stubborn fembot. If I wanted to slag you I would do it now we’re face to face not while you’re sleeping and defenseless. Maximals don’t stoop that low, maybe Predacons do, but we don’t. Now look we haven’t got time for this.” Sharpshot said getting frustrated and more anxious about the approaching blue lightening crashing and striking around them. The ship tipped and dived as the shockwaves from the crashes of the lightening moved the fragile ship. “We’ll do it at the same time ok.”
“Fine,” she said, slightly saddened by the young Maximal’s words. “1 2 3! “ They said together and on 3 they both went into statis lock collapsing to the floor in a heap.
The Gunning quarters of the Criscindo dragged further and further towards the storm. Lightening crashed around it spinning it up and down with the 3 inside being flung in to the walls and ceiling as the ship wobbled about precariously. The lightening seemed to try and swallow up the ship pulling it closer and closer to the eye of the storm. The storm cackled mercilessly like the maniacal Deceptitron and all the quarters could do was prey upon the storms mercy. Of course there was none. It was smashed up and down and shards of it were sent hurtling into the depths of space. At the eye if the storm was a great hole sucking and pulling everything around it through it. The electrical energy of the storm began to surge through the ship searching for any power which it could drain. But then something happened that the storm did not intend. The electrical circuits of the ship began to absorb the storms power draining the storm of its magnitude making it weaker and less of a great hazard. The ship itself began to surge with energy its power supplies which at this point were greatly depleted were now full and thriving. The ship had now become a living embodiment of pure electrical energy, as if it were a living electrical symbiot. The ship then passed harmlessly through the great hole, passing through time and space and entering to a time before time. A time millions of years before our own. Before we walked this earth, but not before Beasts.
