Hey there Mechs and Femmes! And welcome to Transformers Prime: United!
Now this is a collaboration between me and my partner Bladewolf101, AKA George Edwards and a longtime supporter of mine! He has also made a story in parallel with mine! Head to his profile to see his story with the same title but from his perspective.
This is a side story to Transformers Prime: Gate Crasher, taking place between Nemesis Primes and the four races chapters.
So sit back, relax and enjoy!
Let's Roll Out!
Transformers Prime: United (Cronus's Side)
New Arrivals?
Ever since MECH had gone into hiding, what else is new? But after Nemesis Prime and Cameron were dealt with we managed to find some time off that we rarely get, not only that but it means I get to spend more time with my Girlfriend Arcee, I mean with the war going on any downtime we get we never waste. I then walked through to the main HUB of the base and saw her waiting there for me. Ratchet was at his usual post and my parents as well as my uncle and Aunt and Windblade were there as well gathered around the main console.
"What's goin' on?" I asked getting their attention.
"There has been an unusual energy spike in the Atlantic, but that can't be possible, Breakaway and Jetfire have reported noting in that region". Ratchet stated holding his chin in thought.
"Want us to check it out? I mean for all we know it could be nothing, but wouldn't hurt to be sure right?" I suggested.
"That would be most appropriate, You, Ironhide, Chromia, Arcee and Windblade will investigate the anomaly. If by chance the Decepticons are picking up the disturbance we must move quickly". Dad stated as I nodded in response. "Jetfire and Breakaway are there and waiting for you. Ratchet, Activate the Ground Bridge". He ordered as the CMO brought the Green Vortex to life.
"We'll be on our guard Mum, Dad. We always are". I assured them. "Alright, let's kick the tire and light the fires Autobots!" I cried as we all transformed and drove through the portal.
We arrived in the Atlantic and we ended up with our tires in the sand, except Windblade of course since she changed form and stood in front of us, we then transformed since driving wasn't going to be the idea situation here. I then looked at our surroundings and saw that this area in the Atlantic looked like the level in the Transformers Armada PS2 game, I just hope Tidal wave isn't here otherwise we'd be screwed.
Jetfire and Breakaway had emerged from a rock they were hiding behind and walked up to us.
"So what's the news boys?" I asked them, if this was all for nothing I'm going to be a little bit pissed. All I want is a single day with my girlfriend to ourselves, is that all too much to ask?
"We tracked to source of the signal and found two Mechs unconscious in a small crater not too far from here, we didn't want to risk it since one of them looked like Megatron". Breakaway stated making all of us go wide-eyed. Another Megatron?! GREAT! That's the last thing we need!
"Are you sure? I mean you sure it's a Megatron look alike and not bucket head himself?" Windblade asked.
"We swear it looks like Megatron Windblade, he had the Fusion cannon and everything". Jetfire stated but as he finished we heard the clashing of metal and it was coming from up ahead.
""Quick and quiet team c'mon!" I ordered as we ran to the source of the sound and looked over a rock to see what the two Aerial bots saw, a complete look alike of Megatron. But this had elements of the Decepticon warlord from the Last Knight the 2007 movie and Prime...weird. And his opponent was someone looking like the Age of Extinction Optimus but wasn't red and blue, not only that but the truck parts were replaced with something of a sports car and a jet, possibly a triple changer.
"Well I guess you two weren't crazy". I said to the two male flyers of the group.
As they duked it out the Megatron kicked the Optimus to the ground and changed his arm to the Death-lock pincer that Megatron had n revenge of the fallen.
"This ought to do the job". He said cocking it.
"You may destroy me Bloodwolf, but there will be others to fight you". The Optimus look alike said to him.
"Then I'll have to destroy every enemy I see!" Bloodwolf said firing at the Optimus look alike but was ducked out of the way in time and charged at Bloodwolf as he did their fists land in each other's faces, causing them to go flying back in opposite directions. They got back up at the same time but the Optimus was shot with by Bloodwolf sending him into the rocky ground.
"Time to end this, Goodbye son of Primus!" WHAT DID HE JUST SAY!?
"Did he just say-," "He did Mia". Ironhide said finishing Chromia's train of thought. I then jumped over the charging at Bloodwolf. "Cronus wait!" But I ignored him and ran up to the Megatron knockoff.
"HEY ASSHOLE!" I said getting his attention and clocked him in the face sending him back into some rocks stunning him. I then pulled out my Path blasters and fired at the rocks above him burying him. But to my Knowledge, it won't hold a Transformer for long. I then looked at Bloodwolf's opponent and I guess he's shocked to see a Green and Silver G1 Optimus save his life. I then saw the Insignia on his chassis and it showed the Autobot Elite Guard. 'Strange' I thought to myself but I offered my hand since he's on our side. "Need some help?" I said with a small smile.
"Yeah, thanks." He said, taking my hand and helping him up "But I had it under control. I appreciate the help but Bloodwolf isn't somewhere to be taken lightly like any other Decepticon." Really Bro? You looked like you were getting your ass kicked. The rest of my team came to help, with the exception of Jetfire who seemed to be missing. Must be trying to get a message through to Dad.
"Well-" I could start, the rocks that buried Bloodwolf were blasted off and a shockwave sent us back a little but wasn't really much to topple any of us and the Megatron look alike came from the rumble, and he looked pissed.
"Wells this is interesting." He said, looking at the new 'Bots. "More 'Bots to kill, they don't call me the greatest 'bot for nothing." Wow, I thought Starscream had an ego.
I looked at the other new bot who got in front of us. "Get out of here, he's too strong for you to fight." He said seriously, bringing out a big two handed sword.
"How? He looks like a mash of Megatron's from other universes, not that you'd know what I'm talking about". I said deploying my battle mask.
"Because he's the son of Unicron and has a lot of Dark Energon going through his veins." This asshole is the son of UNICRON!? Oh hell no! I raced towards Bloodwolf with my fist drawn back. "Don't!" He called to me.
"Cronus no!" Ironhide yelled but I ignored them then landed a right hook barely making Bloodwolf flinch and snap his head to the right, then landed a hard left and Bloodwolf's head went right around full…clockwise, oh god is this guy a fucking owl or something!?
"What...the…" Bloodwolf cuts me off by materializing a Dark Energon mace and batted me aside into some rocks.
"Prepare for Extermination." He smirked before charging at the group.
"OK, New plan". I said to myself as I then stood up as the new bot tossed Bloodwolf away to give us some distance from him. I ran up and to his side. Bloodwolf then dashed at us and swatted Breakaway and Windblade away with ease, Chromia Brought out her Shield and Photon Burst rifle and fired at a range while the new bot and I tried fighting two on one with him but I was kicking in the face and he had shot his other attacker sending him into a rocky wall. He walked up to me and picked me up by the head.
"Just because you look like a Prime you think you can beat me? You are certainly short sighted Autobot". He smirked but I was smirking back. He was then shot in the back as he then turned to see Ironhide with both his cannons smoking.
"Get your hands of my nephew Decepticon punk!" He snarled as he dashed at Bloodwolf but was shot in the side rendering him incapacitated.
"Ironhide!" I called.
"To follow up on that Bloodwolf...it's because I am, and for the record-," I said as I then stabbed a battle Blade in his eye making him release me. You may be powered by Dark Energon, but even that had to hurt! I then stood up and brought out a new weapon, that Being Optimus's rocket Launcher from the Dark of the moon Video game. "My name, I Cronus Prime!" I cried as I rapidly fired rocket after rocket into him before delivering a kick to the face and followed up with a spinning back kick sending him near a ledge. He stood up as I walked up to him. "You should put some ice on that". I smirked pointing at his burn. "Better yet, take a dip!" I said with my smirk still there as I fired a rocket as his feet and was sent off a small ledge and into the water. It was reasonably deep, but it should hold him down long enough for us to clear things up a bit
"He'll be back. He always comes back." I then turned to the new bot who emerged to my left as I put my rocket launcher away. "So, now that we've dealt with him. I just got one question, who the fuck are you?" He asked me with confusion. We glanced at each other, I then stepped forward with my hand out.
"The names Cronus Prime, son of Optimus Prime and Elita-One, that's my uncle and aunt, Ironhide and Chromia." They nodded at him and he nodded back. "The other two are Breakaway and Windblade, we're part of Team Prime". I introduced. "No who are you mate? Never seen an Optimus Prime look alike with Sports car and jet parts before.
"Huh..." That's all he could react with, before he began introducing himself. "Names Bladewolf Prime, Techno-Organic Son of Primus, human name's George Edwards. I'm... Very confused to how I ended up in this world." Still going with that son of Primus? I'm finding that a bit hard to believe. Wait…
"This world?" I asked with a frown and he nodded.
"Yeah, I was sent by Ratchet, my word's Ratchet, to investigate an Energon signature, only to run into Bloodwolf. Our battle went on and ripped open a portal that pulled us through and into this world." He looked around again. "I need to go, I need to find a way back home." Wait a second there mate.
As he began walking away when I ran in front of him.
"Woah, Woah, hold up man." I said as he gave me a glare for getting in his way. "We could help you out, let us take you back to our base."
"Thanks, but no thanks. I just want to go home to my family, my wife and daughter." He said, brushing past me…He has a daughter and wife? Damn I can see why he's determined. But I got back in front of him trying to get my point across. "You are really starting to get on my nerves, Prime." He said to me with his optic twitching in annoyance.
"Hey, let's not let this go down into a fight." Breakaway said, coming in between us and looking at both of us before finally stopping on him.
"Look, George, can I call you that?" I asked. He nodded. "Thanks, we want to help you. That's what we Autobots do. Just, let us take you back to base and get you checked over before we can work on how to send you back. Also, it's an honour to meet a Son of Primus." I mean if he's telling the truth about his family, I might as well hear what he has to say about his father.
"Well, I haven't gotten that greeting before and I've been around for a very, very long time." He said with a small smile. "Then again, I only found out who I was during Unicron's awakening." he sighed before shrugging. "Very well, I'll come with you to your base. But no funny business, just because your Autobots, you aren't mine."
"Understandable." Ironhide said with a nod.
Suddenly, Bloodwolf blasted out of the water, hovering, with a glare on his face.
"Forget about me?!" He yelled before firing a volley of missiles, causing us to scatter.
"How about you do us all a favour, and DROP DEAD FUCKFACE!" I cursed at him and it seemed George was a little surprised about my choice of words.
"Open a Ground bridge, he's mine." Bladewolf told the rest of us before activating what seemed to be jets on the back of his kegs, much like Optimus from Age of Extinction and few up to meet the son of Unicron head on. As they collided and punched each other in the air before finally crashing and rolling across the ground until Bloodwolf was on top. I ran around the two bots fighting each other and got the drop on Bloodwolf
"These 'Bots don't deserve to live." Bloodwolf growled.
"They deserve to choose for themselves." Bladewolf growled back, grabbing his jaw, making him growl before he shrugged me off.
"Then you will die with them!" He yelled before grabbing George's head and slamming him to the ground. "Join them in their deaths!" His attention went to me as soon as I leapt at him, and grabbed me around the throat. "You fight head on...because you're stronger than most of your team." He then shot Windblade when she was coming at him, then slammed me to the ground. "But not stronger than me."
"I'm strong enough to send you into next century Shitbird!" I snarled, but Bloodwolf merely chuckled.
"I'm the son of Unicron, Dark Energon is a lot stronger in me than it is in Megatron. Plus, being Techno-Organic has its uses. There's only one who could truly fight me, and you aren't him!" Bloodwolf picked me up and threw me into my uncle.
"Augh man". I groaned as I felt my uncle helping me to my feet.
"You still have a lot more to learn kiddo". Ironhide stated making me nod.
"No arguments here". I replied catching my breath.
"Bloodwolf!" We then turned our attention towards George and Bloodwolf the latter was tackled by the former and landing a right hook on his face, he growled before throwing me George off. He looked at then looked at us. "Stay out of this, he's mine." He then brought something out of his subspace. Then summoned as shield, the one Optimus uses in Age of Extinction and Last Knight.
Bloodwolf and Bladewolf had a standoff that reminded me of Locke and Master Chief in Halo 5. The air was silent besides the light rain and the waves of the beach, the two glared each other down before engaging each other. Bloodwolf went for George but bashed his arm aside with his shield, then bashed him in the face, shoulder struck him, landing another hit with his shield before putting is away and quickly pressing a little device onto his chest.
Wait is that an Armour restraint?
Bloodwolf glared at George as he smirked before deploying a rocket launcher and shooting the ground on either side of him, causing it to begin cracking.
"See you in Hell." George smirked as the ground cracked more before finally giving away and bringing him down into the water, hopefully the debris covered him as well. George then looked at us. "As long as that armour lock stays on him...he'll be staying down there."
"Woah" I said breaking the silence. "Ok, that was some Halo 5 shit right there". I said pointed with a smile and it seemed like George was proud of himself. "Yo Jetfire where's that bridge?" I commed as the vortex then appeared to our left I then looked at George. "C'mon, time to introduce ya to the family". I smiled.
"Never thought I'd be doing this in one lifetime". He said to himself mostly as he raised an optic ridge and followed us through.
As we reached the interior everyone was glad to see us back in one piece aside from a few dents and scratches. As George walked through the bridge everyone looked at him seeing as he was the new bot around.
"Who's this guy?" Cliff asked the question on everyone's mind.
"Well that's a little hard to explain, but first let's get everyone checked out before we do". I stated and no one objected to it. As Red Alert and Ratchet scanned for the damage to everyone who was at the Atlantic I saw Arcee come in and walk over to me since I was last to get myself medically checked since I can repair/heal faster than everyone present.
"You look like you just got scrapped by me". She said with a smile sitting next to me.
"Ok 1: We scrapped each other during that set and 2: You know ya love me". I smirked as she then smirked back and kissed me on the lips. I then looked at George who seemed off. I'll get to that in a minute. Ok well now's a good time as any. "Everyone, this is Bladewolf. He's from another Dimension similar to ours and...Uh mate is it possible to speak for this because I'm still trying to wrap my head around it". I said getting off track sheepishly. Dad then walked up to George.
"Is, what my son says of you true?" He asked more confused than weary. He sighed before standing up and pressing a hand against the wall.
"It's true. You all want to know about me? Fine, my name is George Edwards, called Bladewolf when I'm in this form." He then as covered in a bright light. It then died down to… reveal him in human form!? He then repeated the process before changing back to Bladewolf. "I'm a Techno-Organic brought from a world where all of this is just a TV show."
"Just like Connor." I heard Jack say, getting a raised Optic Ridge from George. I then stepped in to elaborate.
"I'm from the same world. It seems we were both taken from our first home, huh?" I said jokingly as he smiled a little before getting seriously and looking over our family.
"I'm my world, my first Earth, I was in a war of my own with someone who was a good friend of mine before he became the monster he is today. His name's Bloodwolf, the guy that tried to scrap Cronus and his team." He said before sighing. "Then, imagine my surprise when during the war's final days Primus himself comes to me and asks for my help in the war between the Autobots and Decepticons." He looked at me. "Only he didn't place me in the time before the show began...he put me in the War for Cybertron itself."
"WHAT?!" A few of the 'Bots, including myself, yelled in shock. Dad kept his emotions in check, his face unreadable. At this point I've grown accustomed to it.
"And here's the real kicker for ya, I'm the son of Primus, and recently made Prime." He said, shocking them even more to how serious he was about that particular topic.
"Hold on a second!" I said getting everyone's attention as I changed back to my normal self. "Let's, let's just pump the brakes on for second. I overheard that when you were fighting Bloodwolf, I thought he was just screwing around when he said that!" I said as I walked up to him. "And on top of that, we just dealt with Unicron nearly two months ago! Now that over grown, earth shattering Jackass has a son!? Like my brain couldn't get any more fried!" I said that last part mostly to myself.
"Connor, try experiencing the whole thing back on Cybertron that was messed up in itself". George stated shrugging.
But then something came to mind.
"Just how old are you anyway?" I asked with a brow raised. If he was on Cybertron during the war he'd had to be there a long while, to reach the final days of the war there.
"Don't know, it's been so many eons and a long war. I look eighteen in human form because I don't exactly age in that form anymore. But, if I had to guess, probably nearly 2 or 3,000 years old." He said, trying to guess. "Hard to remember how old you are when you're fighting in a war for so many centuries."
"CENTURIES!?" I cried out in which he nodded. "Over Centuries years old? Man I didn't think that was physically impossible but...damn, never in my 19 years of my life I'd meet anyone that's centuries older than anyone here combined". I said while running my hands through my hair, although. "Look, we'll do anything within our power to help you get home, that's a promise". I said to him. "Considering that we're somewhat in the same boat and one in the same. You're alright in my book". I smiled, in which he nodded with a small one of his own.
But then I remembered something about his family.
"Plus the last thing we want is a child to grow up without a father, I know what that can feel like. Plus for you to go that far in a relationship means that girl must've saw something in ya. She's a lucky one". I chuckled with my arms crossed. "Who's the lucky lady?" I asked.
"Um..." George trailed off, looking away either in embarrassment or awkwardness. Both perhaps? He then muttered something that I couldn't make out.
"Just say the name". Jazz suggested cheekily, causing George to give him a look.
"Dad give me strength for this." He muttered before turning around and just saying it. "The lucky lady is in fact my world's Arcee. She's my wife, Sparkmate, and mother of daughter, Nadia Prime."
WHAT THE WHAT!?
Arcee is George's wife?! I looked back at my girlfriend and saw she was very uncomfortable. I then looked back at George who was looking at the ground.
"Ok, I'm not sure if I should've asked in the first place. But, oh god this is awkward, look we can leave this for another day because currently, Arcee is my Girlfriend here and...Yea". I said rubbing the back of my head. "Ok um back on track, Dad is there any possible way that George can stay here somewhere? Like a spare room or something?" I asked looking up at him.
"There is a room around the corner of yours Connor, we've established other rooms in the base to just in case there were any other Autobots who might come to earth". He answered.
"Well that's that sorted out, since you know how to handle yourself that's also sorted. The main problem is just getting you home, and the fact that there's a literal Techno-organic demigod in our presence". I stated. I then noticed that George was looking at my arm.
"What happened to your arm Connor?" He said as everyone here went silent. I rolled up my sleeve to show him that there was no human skin.
"I got captured by MECH while saving Jack, they attacked us when Cliff and I were picking him up from school. They then took me somewhere I couldn't remember and they, skinned me like a wild animal". I seethed as George seemed a little sick by hearing that. "They took everything, Skin, Blood, Energon DNA and CNA...everything. After the bots came in guns blazing I was a Deadman...but I've been in that situation roughly 3 or 4 times now. When I was brought back home and fixed up by June and Ratchet, Dad and Mum gave their CNA and became my biological parents". I explained while fixing my sleeve. "I may not be a Demigod, but I could tell Bloodwolf had trouble fighting me. Speaking of which are you sure that Armour restraint will hold him? Because you said he'll always be back". I asked him. George looked away at my question before speaking up.
"As long as that armour lock remained on him his entire body, systems, they'd be in total lockdown mode. But, because he's in the Atlantic water, it'll eventually freeze the longer he's in there. I know that he's still alive and out there...somewhere." He then sighed before shaking his head. "Look, it's been a long day and right now I could use some sleep." I nodded in response.
"You got it man, follow me and I'll show you. I'd show you around but I think you have everything we do in your base." I said leading him out of the main hub and down the hallway.
"Aside from some of the 'Bots here, yeah". I merely looked at him confused. "Five other 'Bots came in my world. Elita, Chromia, Ironhide, Sideswipe, and Jazz." He stated.
"Huh". I simply said. "So, what was it like fighting in the War for Cybertron?" I genuinely asked
"Hell." I said darkly. Well when it comes to the war on Cybertron it's something you'd never want to share. I don't blame em. As we got to the room I opened up and led him inside.
"Well it ain't much, but I hope it'll do. I'm just around the corner if you need anything". I said to him and he nodded. "Look, I know I said that I'd leave it but, how old is your Daughter? I mean for you to have a Daughter with Arcee is Heh. It must've been special huh?" I smiled him while leaning against the doorway with my arms crossed. He smiled as he thought about it before answering.
"We just had her about a week ago. I found out she was pregnant after waking up from a coma Bloodwolf put me in after being under the influence of his father. Arcee was only three weeks pregnant at the time." He sighed as he thought about it. "She was born just as we finished the Orion Pax situation, which I assume you've gotten past as well, the only time I ever felt such my was the day I married Arcee, in Cybertronian ways and Earthly ways. I'll never regret meeting her, falling for her, marrying her, having my daughter with her. What about you and your Arcee? Thought of having any kids yet?"
"Well, I mean, I never really thought about it. I mean having Kids is the last thing Arcee here would have on her mind. I mean she's just my Girlfriend and not only that, Mum been embarrassing me about it". I said with embarrassment in my voice as George chuckled. "But the point is...I'm scared that I might not be a good enough father. I mean my old father was barely around before I got here and...I dunno I'm unsure whether to take the leap or not. Besides we're at war right now and I'm not sure this is the best time". I explained. "However, settling down with her, it's...it's something that I want to do but, having kids is up in the air at the moment. I just don't know where that stand right now". I explained to him in which he nodded in understanding. "Well, mark my words, you will see your daughter again, even if I have to toss you back in your dimension myself if it means getting ya home". I smiled as then stood up straight. "Just don't be afraid to ask, I mean you're sort of in the same home but, different I guess. Night mate". I said as I walked out. But poked back in the doorway.
"And congratulations George, Night".
"Night Connor, and thanks". He smiled as I walked out of the room and went to mine to call it a day.
I went into the room to see Arcee not too comfortable. I laid down next to her and she cuddled up next to me.
"You alright?" I asked her.
"Been better". She said simply.
"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to…if you need some space, just let me know ok?" I said looking her in the eye.
"Ok". She replied before pecking me on the check. "I love you".
"Love you to Sweet spark". I smiled and she smiled back before we both closed our eyes. But the thought of Arcee and I Married…having a child of our own.
'This is gonna eat at me for a while now' I thought to myself before letting sleep take me.
There we have it the first chapter done and dusted! Now I am a bit late to upload when it comes to these things but I get them out regardless. So With George's information on his world and one of the two demi-gods here things are going to get real interesting!
