Cybertron.
The end of the Second Golden Age.
and the Beginning of a new war.
The Autobots prepare to leave Cybertron for the final time, knowing that this war was most brutal. For the very first time, the planet was severly damaged, taking millions of years to repair. while the planet repairs itself, the Autobots must leave.
Hot Rod and Arcee rush to the center of Iacon before the launch of the newly contructed Ark II, scared of being left behind. then suddenly, Hot Rod then slipped a trun and slamed to the wall. Arcee turns and drives back to him, and transforms into her robot mode to help Hot Rod up. " Hurry up, Hot Rod!" begged Arcee to him. " we gotta get to the ship before it leaves."
" Dont think i dont know that, Arcee!"
They both turn into their vehicle modes and drove to Iacon in Maximum speed.
Meanwhile back at Iacon City, Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, watches the city of Iacon crashing down, smoke coming up and lasers being fired at the sky. he knows that they must leave if they want to survive.
" what have we done . . ." Optimus Mournly spoke to himself.
" Optimus!" Ratchet yelled from his communicator.
" Status report, Ratchet?" Optimus responded
" all autobots are ready to get back to Earth."
" Prepare for launch, Ratchet" Optimus commanded " Because this will be the last thing we do here. If Megatron wants cybertron, he can have it!"
" Optimus" Ratchet asked it Confusion " i never heard you like this before. Is there something wrong?"
" it's nothing. now get everyone ready! It's time!
Optimus walks to the elevator and goes up.
back at Kaon, the new thriving city of the Decepticons, megatron awaits for Optimus's Next move. Soundwave then walks into the room while megatron sits on his throne. " Lord Megatron!" Soundwave spoke.
" state your business, Soundwave." Megatron commanede him. " What is Optimus Prime up to now?"
Soundwave projects a hologram version of the Ark II. " Optimus Prime and his Autobots are preparing to leave Cybertron for Earth. They only have about five hours for launch."
" so." Megatron nafariously spoke with boastfulness. " Optimus Prime now Retreats in fear of his own enemies. well, that action was a mellinia late for you to take. Soundwave, gather the troops and ready the ship Nemesis! WERE ARE GOING AFTER HIM!"
Hot Rod and Arcee are just crossing the bridge to the gates of the capital tower of Iacon. " we're going to make it!" arcee shouted to Hot Rod. then suddenly, the gates begins to close slowly. the two reached to their maximum speed limit. and just when the the gates are about to close, the two just jumped through the narrow way. they both made a rough langing.
" we'd made it!" said Rodimus.
" we sure did!" Arcee said.
Then they both drive to the lanching bay.
Optimus Prime encounters Ratchet, Wheeljack, Kup and Perceptor walking to the Ark II.
" are all the autobots in place?" Optimus asked Kup
" Everyone except Hot Rod and Arcee!" Kup said
" Wheeljack, can you track them down?" Optimus asked
" way ahead of you, Prime!" Wheeljack answered. " They're just about halfway to the Ark II
" as soon as they make it, ready for launch." Optimus Prime Ordered.
at the launching bay, Hot Rod and Arcee made it to the door way, with Bumblebee and UltraMagnus helping them in. when they came in, the both encountered Kup right in their faces. " what were you to doing outside of Iacon?" Kup Barked at them " going out on a date?"
" No sir!" Hot Rod answered nervously " we were looking for any Autobots left out in Cybertron."
" It's true, sir!" Arcee supported Hot Rod.
" well get to the control room." Kup ordered them. " you are needed at you station."
" yes sir." they both said at the same time.
They both rushed to the control deck.
At the Control deck, the autobots are at their stations. Optimus prime and Ironhide are at the main control stations, Perceptor, Wheeljack, and Jazz are at the from controls, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and Hot Rod are at the right side and Arcee, Bumblebee, and Ultra Magnus are at the left. so far, everything is going according to plan.
Optimus prime give the order. " Commensing launch sequence in five, four, three, two, one..."
the ship's thrusters are soon on, forcing the Ark II into the atmosphere. the ship soon left Iacon city, never to return. it was a sad day for the Autobot race.
the planet soon reach space, leaving the planet Cybertron for good.
" autobots" Optimus Prime spoke to his Autobot Comrades " this is a time for mourning and remembering. the time we leave the past behind for the future ahead of us. Cybertron is gone, but it's memory lives within our hearts. we will never forgte our beloved home planet."
Then, the ship shook with violent impact. The autobots hold on to their seats. " Prime!" Wheeljack yelled out to Optimus. " something is behind are tail!"
" Megatron!" Optimus Prime " he just wont leave us alone! Autobots! prepare for battle.
The decepticon warship Nemesis chases the Ark II, fire giant blasts of Dark energon at it. the damages were to severe to the Ark II that it became slow. the perfect advantage to the Nemesis. then, the Nemesis begins to board the Ark II.
" were being boarded!" Perceptor yelled.
" Autobot! Man you stations." Optimus commanded.
The Autobots move to the door where the boarding is taking place. The auotbots have their guns ready for battle. the door then exploded, blinding the autobots with smoke create by the explosion. then, an enshadowed figure appears within the smoke. then, the smoke clears, revealing the decepticon leader, Megatron.
" Decepticon's! ATTACK!"
then, there came a huge battle. Guns were fired and fists were thrown at each other's faces. it was like the times on Cybertron. the violence and the destruction.
" where's Optimus?" Hod Rod yelled in question.
In the Control Deck of the Ark II, Optimus Prime is at his seat, about record a message to Earth. Optimus Begins his recording.
" This message is to any Autobots that are on the Planet Earth! Megatron has returned and this time, he has taken Cybertron! The Decepticons are victorious, but we still live! The Autobots are still Alive! We are coming to Earth for shelter and we are in need of help! I repeat, we need help! This message is to any Autobots that are on the planet Earth! If any Autobot receives this message, Please respond to us! I Repeat, Please respond!"
Then suddenly, Megatron attacks from behind. " they wont respond to you when you are dead, Prime!"
Optimus Dodges the attack and forces him back to the wall.
" why not leave us alone, Megatron! You got what you wanted" Optimus spoke to him out of hate.
" i thought you knew me well, Prime!" Megatron answered Optimus Prime " Cybertron is just the beginning of my takeover! with the power of Dark Energon in my grasp, i will have the Universe crumbling under the name of Megatron!"
" not when i have anything to say about that!" Optimus bravely spoke. Then, Optimus Prime's hand transforms into a energon Axe. Then, they both was clashing between weapons. Then Optimus hit megatron in the shoulder, and he kicks him. Megatron, on the ground, fires his cannon at Optimus, forcing him back, landing on the controls, which damages them. the ship suddenly went into hyperspace. soon, everyone froze due to the speed of the ship. at the Conrol deck, Optimus tries to reach of the controls of the hyperspace. Optimus finally reaches it, causing the ship to stop. then suddenly, the ship heads straight to the unknown planet same as Earth.
" this must be my time to go!" Megatron said as he destroys the roof of the ship. " so long prime! hope you enjoy plummiting to your deaths!" the megatron leaves the ship.
Sonn all of the decepticons left the ship, leaving the Autobots to their fate.
the ship approaches the atmosphere. The Autobots held on to the wall and each other from falling to the door way, sucking them to the outside world. suddely, Bumblebee, holding on to Ironhide, is losing his grip on his hand.
" Hang on, kid!" Ironhide yelled at him.
suddenly, bumblebee lost grip of him and falls to the outside world.
" NOOOOOO!" ironhide yelled with disappointment.
then, Arcee starts to lose her grip as well. Hot Rod holds her real tight.
" dont let go, Arcee! dont let go!" hod Rod said to her
" Hot Rod." arcee spoke her soon to be last words " I-"
Then suddenly lost her grip, falling to the planet along with bumblebee
" NOOOOOOOO!" Hot Rod yelled with sadness.
Then the doors close, and the autobots landed on the ground.
Hot Rod runs to the door, but Ultra Magnus grabs him. " Let me go! Please! i need to go after her!
Ultra Magnus turns him towards himself and spoke to his senses. " Hot Rod! she's gone! you understand? i'm afraid she's not coming back!"
Hot Rod begins to look down with disappointment.
Optimus Prime's Voice was spoken throught the whole ship. " Autobots! Back into you stations! we need to land this ship Now!"
The autobots went back to the control deck.
all of the autobots ran back to the control deck. They saw Optimus Prime at his station, trying to control the ship. " It's too much!" Optimus said " we're going down!"
The ship made it's way out of the clouds and into the sea. there was a huge splash and the ship just floated there. Then the ship just sank into the watery detphs of the unknown planet. nothing came out.
