Transformers: war for Cybertron – Cybertron chronicles
Chapter 1: Out of the Frying pan…
'Coke...check. Computer charger...check. Bro online to talk to...check. New Transformers Prime episode...check.' My recipe for the perfect Saturday. However, something's different about today; not just because the last Transformers Prime episode is out, but because I can hear someone calling my name, I decide to talk to Andrew, my bro, about it, and his immediate reply is
"Well, thank fuck I'm not the only one whose hearing voices." All of a sudden Andrew's shouting at someone
"COME AT ME BRO!" Like he does, but this time it's different; then Andrew suddenly went silent. I then get a feeling that someone is watching me; I look to my side and see a bright, white light, and suddenly a bright, white hand comes out, while a deep, commanding voice talks to me,
"Alex Fletcher, the last of the Primes needs you." Then the hand pulls me into the light.
All I see is darkness; I get up off the floor and see Andrew to my left and my other bro, Kieran, to my right. As we all get up, a figure starts to appear before us.
"Greetings" the figure announces, in a deep voice
"I am Primus; and I have a very important mission for you all." We all look at each other, confused. Then I speak up,
"What is this mission?"
"Your mission is to protect the last of the Primes, Optimus." Andrew looks at me, then at the figure and speaks out,
"But, why us?" Primus ponders on the statement for a moment then replies,
"I chose you three because you all know each other and have different parts to play, one of you will be a master infiltrator, one of you will be the strongest warrior In Cybertronian history, and the final one will become the great leader the Autobots need him to be." We all look at each other, puzzled, but know what we have to do,
"We're ready" we all say in the same strong, confident voices.
"Very well, join with your new bodies and become the heroes you were born to be."The figure is then replaced with another round of bright, white light and then darkness. However, I hear a voice through the silence, and a very familiar one at that; it calls my name, but not my true name, the name I hear is 'Buzzsaw', not 'Alex'.
Buzzsaw's point of view
'Iacon, an amazing city, truly. With Zeta prime leading the Autobots there's no way the Deceptacons can beat us. And with me and Dreadclaw, my best friend, and an Autobot with a shorter temper than Grimlock, the Decepticons will never destroy Iacon.' Little did I know, however, that this was about to change. At the time of the attack me and Dreadclaw were out patrolling Iacon with Optimus and Ratchet, personally though, I would rather have been out scouting Kaon, the Decepticon capital, than securing our borders. However, I had the feeling that we were walking right into a trap.
Then, as if by some twist of fate I noticed a Decepticon Sniper out of the corner of my optics, and his sights were set on Optimus. I quickly transformed into my Robot mode, equipped my path blaster and jumped into the snipers line of sight. Fortunately I was quick enough to deactivate the Decepticon, but not quick enough to dodge his shot which pierced me chest and caused me to hit the ground, hard.
My optics were fuzzy, and I was leaking a lot of Energon, so I decided to shut down to conserve my Energon, and slow the leak.
I was suddenly brought back into the world, looking down at me was a Cybertronian, who I recognised as Ratchet, the Autobot medic. As he helped me to my feet I realised I was in Iacon, however it looked like it had seen better days.
To my left I saw two other Autobots locked in a firefight, one I recognised as Optimus, due to the red and blue paint scheme. The other Autobot was my friend Dreadclaw. I looked over the cover I was behind and counted at least seven Deceptacons who had us pinned down, and by the looks on Dreadclaw's and Optimus's faces, they were running low on ammo.
I equipped my Path Blaster and fired a few shots at the entrenched Decepticons and drew their attention, so Dreadclaw and Optimus could think of a plan.
Dreadclaw's point of view
'Scrap' I thought. For the first time in my life I really wished this war would end, my Riot Cannon was running out of ammo, and by the look on Optimus's face I could tell he was having the same problem.
As well as this, Buzzsaw had been hit by a Decepticon sniper and was badly damaged and, although he was now standing and shooting at the Decepticons again, I was worried that we were way over our heads this time. However, the balance of power was shifting, as I'd noticed something out the corner of my eye, an Energon cube, and the Deceptacons were sat right next to it. I decided to take the chance and fired my last shot at the cube, causing it to exploded and deactivate the Deceptacons in our way, permanently. My next concern was Buzzsaw, who was like a brother to me. I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder
"Are you alright." I asked
"I'm fine," he replied
"If I was put out of action by one Decepticon sniper then I would be been scrap metal a long time ago," I chuckled and breathed out a sigh of relief
"Thank Primus," I muttered as I turned to Optimus.
"What's our next course of action?" I asked. He looked at me thoughtfully.
"We need to rendezvous with Air Raid and the other Autobots at the main defence line." He explained. I sighed deeply as I knew what that meant.
"Just perfect, we're going have so many Deceptacons be shooting at us it's untrue! Now Optimus, normally, I would love nothing more than to go blowing the Deceptacons a new one. However we're low on ammo, there are only four of us...and one of us has been severely damaged...so I don't like our chances."Optimus merely nodded, put his hand on my shoulder and said
"We have to try. Without us Iacon is doomed." I knew he was right, though I didn't like it, but wouldn't question him, especially knowing who he would become, 'well this is gonna be interesting' I think to myself I heard a noise with my Eagle hearing. I turned to Buzzsaw
"Did you hear that noise as well?" I asked
"No it`s your bad Hearing, even here you are still deaf...actually, is it a kind of, jet engine noise?" He replied using his usual comeback, but then he heard something.
"Yes. You can hear it too. Oh I think we have incoming fliers." I replied. I immediately warned the others of an incoming attack.
"Get down. We might get the jump on them if we hide." Optimus advised us.
The noise got louder, and we knew the enemy was closing. I crouched and aimed my Riot cannon towards the Air. I looked towards the tower, and then the enemy emerged. But I was relived. By the others facial reaction they were too. It was not an enemy it was a friendly troopship and it started to descend down to us.
AN: Hi guys this is my first proper fic so please leave a review to tell me how I can improve my story. Also if you would like me to include your own character in the fic PM me their name, whether their Autobot or Decepticon, what class they are (Warrior, Titan, Scout, Dinobot Etc.) and how do they know Buzzsaw or Dreadclaw and I'll work out the rest. Lastly check out the fics by my friends The-Unknown91 and BioticStories.
Thanks and remember to keep reviewing
