After the final guardian fell, Omega Supreme was forced to open the lock to Cybertron's very core. He was corrupted and swayed under the influence of dark energon. Only with the help of optimus Prime, Ratchet and a few other autobots did he escape.
Optimus and the others proceeded to Cybertron's core as Omega returned to an autobot base, many cycles away from the now fallen city of Iacon. decepticon victory was almost certain and many were losing hope.
When Optimus and his autobots returned with the grave news that their planet was dying, he ordered for a full planet wide evacuation. Many autobots left the planet, some stayed to fight. Omega, due to his extensive damage, was forced to leave in hopes he would not be used once again to do megatron's bidding.
Omega was put into a forced stasis so he could receive repairs as him and a handful of autobot soldiers left their dying home.
A blue and silver autobot soldier looks upon the inactive titan class cybertronian. It's impossible to think that Megatron bested Omega Supreme. Omega could wipe out battalions worth of decepticons with little effort but now, here he is. Put through a forced stasis to repair the damage Megatron and his decepticon followers caused.
The lone autobot sighed and left to continue his job patrolling the ship. He strolled through the empty halls but before hearing a loud thud coming from the maintenance tunnels. He transformed his right hand into his neutron assault rifle and pursued the location of the noise.
The tunnels lights flickered for a moment before shutting off entirely. The autobot groaned in annoyance. "Ugh, another other one? The engineers really need to fix this flying hunk of scrap."
Another rattle sounded out from the darkness. He turns on his hud lights and brought his weapon up. "H-hello? Is anybody there?"
He slowly walked down the hallway when he started seeing sparks coming out of the wall. He crouched down to inspect the damage and from the looks of things, the ship just blew another moleculon fuse. "Strange, this doesn't normally happen." He voiced.
He got back to his feet and proceeded down the hallway. He could see the lights of a figure off in the distance. "Hey! You there!" The soldier shouted.
The figure turned around to face him. It was seemed to be an autobot engineer with a red and yellow color scheme. "Hey, we blew another moleculon fuse back down that hallway. We need another one."
The engineer nodded and saluted. "Yes sir."
The engineer stood there as the soldier waited for him to go. "Well what are you waiting for?" He asked.
The engineer pointed behind the soldier. "There's something behind you."
The soldier turned around, only to be confused. "I don't know what your talking about? I don't see anythi-"
A purple blade stuck out of his chassi, glowing an early purple hue in the dark. The engineer leaned his head close the impaled soldier. "You autobots are so gullible" He whispered.
The engineer ripped his sword out and cut off the soldier's head in one swipe before proceeding with to the ship's fulling center. There weren't many guards on the ship but there was no doubt that someone would find the body sooner or latter. But he didn't worry about it, all that matters is that the mission would be carried out. Omega Supreme must perish along with everybody else on board this ship. Decepticon stealth ships remained behind, undetected to retrieve him once his job was done.
He passed as one of the engineers in the fulling center and managed to get to the main fuel tanks full of highly volatile energon. He sneaked around and placed one of his detpacks and primed the charges for three cycles, just enough time to leave and launch all escape pods.
He ran through the long hallways as the lights start flashing red. With a loud siren blaring.
Intruder alert! Intruder alert! All personnel be advised, there is an intruder aboard the ship! The intruder is posing as one of the crew. Everyone must go through identity checks.
The engineer growled in irritation. "Scrap."
He started running down the hallways, trying to get to the escape pods. He took a hard right and bumped right into a squad of autobot soldiers. He transformed away and drove to the opposite direction. "Hey you! Stop!" Yelled one of the soldiers.
He sped up as they started shooting at him. Narrowly dodging the gunfire, he sped up and turned up his speed to over drive. The blast doors were beginning to close as the escape pods were right ahead of him. He boosted forward and transformed just in time to fit through the gap between the doors.
He stepped into one of the pods and triggered them all to launch. He looked at his wrist as the digits counted down to nothing and the ship was torn to pieces, floating aimlessly into space with violent flames torching what's left.
He smiled at the display of his own handiwork. Turned on the escape pods transmissioner and sent a signal to the stealth ship. A few nanokliks later, it was received.
"Is your mission complete?" An eerie digitized voice spoke.
He smiled wider. "Yes Soundwave, the ship is torched with Omega Supreme along with it."
"Affirmative. Search teams have been sent to your location Makeshift. Megatron will be pleased." Soundwave informed.
The now recognized Makeshift transformed his body to his default form. An ever so bright purple decepticon symbol engraved on his chest. "I aim to please."
/ millions of years later /
The waged on earth over dominance was brutal. Gems on both sides were destroying each other control of the new gem colony. Homeworld loyalists were ruthless in following their commands of their diamonds. The Crystal Gem rebellion held out but were quickly becoming overwhelmed from Homeworld's sheer numbers and power.
Rose Quartz and her fellow gems barely surviving another battle. Many of her gems were poofed, cracked and even shattered. At this rate, she might have to wage the war alone.
She sheathed her sword, a saddened sigh escaping past her lips. It hurt to see many good gems get shattered for a cause she began. Their deaths would not be in vain.
She sat on the edge of the cliff, looking down at once was beautiful forest, now laid with ash and tree bark. Times were getting desperate as she hoped for a sign, a solution for her and her gems to prevail.
"Rose!" A voice cried out in the distance.
She turned around and saw Pearl running to her. She smiled a little. "It's always good to spend time in good company." She thought to herself.
Pearl finally caught up to her. "Rose, we won the battle. Homeworld forces are retreating from the area." She exclaimed.
Rose looked down. "How many were…" She trailed off.
Pearl purses her lips. "Too many."
Rose closes her eyes as a lone tear rolls down her cheek. She looks back up at Pearl. "Pearl, do you think I'm doing the right thing?" She asked.
Pearl instantaneously nods. "Of course Rose, you showed us a new way to live. A reason to fight the oppression of the diamond authority. You made me more than I could ever hope to be."
Rose looks back to the battle ground. "Pearl, we are losing this war. Every battle we win or lose costs us more than the last. Many of our fellow gems are shattered or captured. We are running out of options and we are running out of time. Garnet can't even predict a future where we win. Too many uncertainties."
Pearl rests a hand on her shoulder, causing Rose to turn around. She gave her a comforting smile whist blushing blue. "I believe you will find a way for us to win. You always find a way."
Rose smiled and put a hand atop Pearl's. "I hope so, for everyone."
Like fate responded to their pleas, a large meteor entered Earth's atmosphere. Lighting up in a brilliant orange flame. Pearl looked up and saw the incoming object from the skies above. "Rose look!" Pearl exclaimed.
Rose looked up and saw the meteor. She smiled joyfully as she watched it crash into a distant mountain. She got back to her feet looked to Pearl, gesturing her hand out to her. "My Pearl, would you like to join me on a little excavation?" She asked softly.
Pearl nodded eagerly. "Of course Rose! B-but don't you think we should tell the... others?" She asked a little worriedly.
Rose shook her head, her pink curls waving wildly before falling back into place. "It will be alright, we won't be gone long."
Pearl took her hand as she leaped off the cliff, floating down gently till her feet hit the ground. The two began their treak towards the unknown meteor that crashed into the mountain side. At this point in the war, the unknown could mean the survival of rebellious Crystal Gems.
/ three hours later/ three mega-cycles later /
Rose and Pearl finally made it to the distant mountain side now turned to rubble as the impact of the meteor turned it into nothing but pebbles. They climbed the new terran as they made leeway to the unknown.
When they could actually see the meteor, they could tell it was anything but space rock. It looked a wreckage of an actual ship. Certainly not Homeworld design due to its very large and robust design. Rose thought for a moment. "If it isn't a homeworld ship then it must be someone else's. A new race possibly, perhaps they could help us in our time of need?" She internally questioned.
She looked to Pearl who had her spear out, on guard for any kind of movement. "What do you think it is?" She innocently asked.
Pearl scowled for a moment. "I don't know Rose. It looks like a ship of some sort"
Rose smiled even wider. "I know! It isn't of gem design so it could be another race entirely. If anything or one survived then they might be willing to help us."
Pearl looked at the ship worriedly. "Rose, if anything survived the crash then they could be dangerous." Pearl tried to warn but Rose continued onward.
She walk through one of the many breaches of the ship, being careful to avoid the jagged scrap metal jutting out from the long and very large hallways. It seemed to keep getting darker so she light up her gem to see where she was going. She kept her sword close as she stepped lightly down the hallways.
Pearl finally caught up as Rose stopped to look at something very peculiar. Pearl could see it leaning against the wall. A large- no, very large metal body with a vertical hole through the torso. It was headless with a faded blue and silver color scheme. It had a strange red symbol engraved on its chest. "W-what is that Rose?" Pearl asked.
Rose took a moment to think. "It looks to be a headless robot. Perhaps it was broken by the crash?" Rose guessed.
They kept walking down the large hallway. At least they can understand why the ship was large, it was meant for a race far larger than their own. While they walked, they could see many more bodies of the broken robot race. Each one with different looks and color schemes. By now, they lost hope of finding anyone left alive on board the damaged vessel.
They didn't say anything, keeping their thoughts to themselves. They did however come across a large door with a hand lever sticking out on the side. The problem was that it was some distance off the ground, too far from reach. "I think we need to fuse to open the door." Rose suggested.
Pearl nodded as they got into position and started dancing, their gems started glowing as their bodies turned to white. Their form took shape as where Rose and Pearl once stood was now occupied by Rainbow Quartz.
She stretched out her long arms. "Oh, I forgot how good it feels to be back."
Her fours eyes focused on the door as she reached up and pulled the lever down. Causing the door to open slightly but not all the way. She pried the door open the rest of the way and stepped into one of the biggest rooms she has ever been in.
She kept walking, using her gems to light up the room a enough to see. She could see some stairs near the side of the room. She climbed up until she could she reached the top, another mangled body of one of the robots leaning over the edge of the rail. She pulled it off the railing and set it gently on the platform.
She stood back up and looked ahead, seeing a large array of buttons and levers. She could see the dim light flashing on one of the buttons. She hesitantly reached for the button but ultimately decided to press it.
…
…
…
Nothing happened.
She let out a sigh. "Well, that was anticlimactic." She joked before laughing to herself.
"*Bzzt* Stasis f-field *Bzzt* Disab-*bzzt*-led. Emerg-g-g-gency protocols in *Bzzt* effect."
Her smile faded a little. "Stasis field?"
She jumped back as red lights blared out of the darkness, she could distinctly make out some sort of face and by the stars it was huge. She unfused and both Pearl and Rose fell on their backsides, staring at the colossal robot lighting up the room with its red lights glowing from its body. It uses one of its arms to tear the tubes and wires connected to its body.
"System corruption: purged. System integrity: 67%. Action: enforce automated repairs." The colossal machine boomed.
Pearl stayed where she was sitting as Rose got back to her feet and jumped up to the terminal. The machine, stopped for a moment.
"Detecting multiple lifeforms." The robot spoke as it began turning to face Rose and Pearl. The cone end of his arm started spinning as the light at the end beings glowing brighter.
Rose waved her hand at the giant. "Hello." She greeted.
"Scanning: potential threats." The robot pointed the cone shaped arm at them. Energy began forming at the tip, threatening to fire.
Pearl leaped up in front of Rose, weapon at the ready to protect her from the hulking machine. Rose put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Pearl, I would like you to please put your weapon away. We need to show it that we are not a threat."
Pearl struggled to put her weapon due to the present threat but ultimately followed through. Rose looked back up at the giant, still pointing the cannon like arm at their general vicinity.
"Hello, my name is Rose Quartz. We saw your crash earlier and we decided to investigate. I'm sorry to say that your crew on board… didn't make it." She says with a saddened tone near the end.
The robot lowed its arm slightly, taking a moment to look around at what's left of the ship.
"Ship integrity: 10%. Autobot personnel: Terminated. Likely cause of crash: Decepticon sabotage."
Rose took a moment before speaking again. "Do you have a name?" She asked.
The robot lowered the cannon down, leaning in to get a closer look at them. Its bright yellow eyes glowing in the darkness. The stoic yellow face ever so visible.
"Designation: Omega Supreme."
Hello newcomers to my first Steven Universe story! Hooray! Wooo! This idea has been in the back of my mind and when I decided to play some of my old games I had, I immediately remembered the "War For Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron" games. The story was fun and the characters were awesome. When I saw Steven Universe though… I thought it would be cool to have one of biggest and baddest autobots of all time show up in the gem war. Just imagine him laying waste to everyone and everything that gets in his way. Even though the WFC and FOC lore says that he remained at his post (like Smough) by the planet's core.
I will try to keep this story as close as possible to the show but just know that it won't be perfect. I will polish it up at some point in the future.
