Decepticons of The New Age

Part 1

Chapter 1

Cycle One: Bonfire's POV

My name is Bonfire. A Cybertronian from the planet Cybertron, home of the Transformers.

I too, am I Transformer. You don't know what that is? We are a race of shape-shifting organisms, although, some call us robotic... but that isnt the point. We can take the shape of a creature with two legs, two arms, and a head. Or, we can take the shape of a vehicle. We don't know much about our own planet, funny really. The archivists say our planet is ancient, but nobody seems to know anything of our past, or the strange planet mentioned in... Wait, Ill get to that part later. Now, here is the story. Im recording this so future generations do not face the same fate as we do, being oblivious of their past.

My friend Ace has recently found some interesting records in the ruins of a long ago city.

Being the adventurer he is, he is determined to unravel their mysteries.

They all seem to point to single coordinates. Somewhere, far off in space. Very far.

That's all he has uncovered as of right now.

The text is encrypted, as if someone does not want anyone to know about it.

...

Wait, Ace has given me an update. He has uncovered one word: Optimus. That means "The Best," Dosnt it?

Well, what the HECK is THAT supposed to mean?

So, im inferencing here, the coordinates point to "The Best" of something?

Its impossible to tell right now. I will record any future updates.

Cycle Two: Bonfire's POV

Well, my curiosity has gotten the best of me. I have decided to fly to these coordinates in a...borrowed... space cruiser.

Well, maybe it wasnt quite borrowed but...

So, anyway, I have borrowed the ship. I will have to sneak it past the city guards to take it off. The only way to fly on Cybertron, is if you manage to obtain a Space Cruiser,[ which I should mention, is illegal on Cybertron because of the lack of fuel or world has left ] or your Alternate Vehicle Form has wings, [The legal route] and mine has neither. I prefer to stay on the ground.

Tomorrow I will fly. I have not told Ace. He would never let me go. He wouldnt turn me in, but he would convince me to stay.

I better power off. Ill need the spare energy for my journey.

Cycle Three: Bonfire's POV

I almost got caught. They spotted me, but didnt catch me. I just hope they don't follow me. They probably wouldn't, with the low amount of Energon, Our species fuel, that their is currently.

It was a pretty rough takeoff. Im not the best at flying, but I made it, [Which is why I picked a Ground Vehicle]

I did talk to Ace before I left, but didnt tell him I was leaving.

As far as I know Ace has only decoded one more piece of info. If he found more, I assume he would tell me.

After all, Ive known him since we were just small 'bots.

This journey will take several more cycles. Probably about three more.

As I power down for the journey, I should record one more thing.

The one little piece of info Ace decoded before I left was, quite a pity, one word:
