Chaos in two worlds
Chapter one: Once upon a prime
Two months after Predacons Rising
Elita sat on her bunk, her Sparklings in her lap. They slept through her tears, the tears that she shed only when she was alone.
He was gone.
Optimus Prime was gone.
She lost so much during the war. Her sister, her teammates, and now Optimus. She clutched her kids to her chest. They were all she had left. Elita would have collapsed on herself months ago if she hadn't been strong for the sake of her Sparklings.
"I miss you so much," she whispered, closing her eyes. It didn't matter who she was thinking about.
She missed them all. But she needed to stay strong. If she collapsed, the sparklings would be without both parents.
A bright glow made her open her eyes, also waking up Arielle and Orion. Elita put them behind her and got in a defensive stance.
The glow ceased. Standing in its place was, was... Her breath hitched in her throat.
"Daddy!" cried the twins.
Orion and Arielle ran up to Optimus, who picked them up and spun them around. Elita could only stand there in shock and awe. Tears welled in the back of her optics. He was back.
Optimus put the twins down.
"Eilta, I-"
He was cut off mid-sentence by Elita grabbing him and kissing him. She really couldn't believe that it was him until she could feel her lips on his. He returned it after recovering from slight shock. Once they broke she looked at him. "What happened? You said..." Elita started.
"The Primes saved my spark and wished to give me more training. They allowed me to return to you and our family." Optimus explained. Elita smiled, tears of joy streaming down her face.
"You'll have to go back, won't you?" She asked. He nodded.
"Yes but I will be back here to Cybertron and my family." He said looking out the window. Eilta hugged him.
"I'm glad I didn't lose you," she whispered.
2 weeks later...
Abby flipped through the channels on tv, not looking for anything in particular. Angela was flopped down on the couch, next to her. It has been a while since the bots left for Cybertron. Angela said that after Predacons rising, she didn't have a clue to what was to come, since they made some *cough* minor changes.
"So you want to practice with our weapons?" Angela asked, breaking the silence. She must be as bored as well. Before Abby could answer a beeping rang out. They shot up, knowing exactly what it ment.
The teleporter was going off.
They ran to the basement and saw their invention was giving off smoke, glowing blue, and beeping like crazy.
"Okay we got to shut it off!" Angela exclaimed grabbing a wrench.
"How?!" Abby exclaimed, grabbing a toolbox, "The last time this happened was-" She was cut off when a flash of light overtook them.
Abby clamped her hand on her lightsaber and blaster. Who knows where they were going to end up? She saw Angela grab her magnets and her blaster, and then the light got so bright that she had to close her eyes. The world seemed to spin so fast that the ground was collapsing. Was the ground collapsing? Abby was not so sure that it wasn't. She wanted to open her eyes, but the light was so bright, she'd probably go blind if she did.
When the world stopped spinning, Abby opened her eyes to see a strange, limbo-like area. "I'd better not be dead," she thought to herself.
"Oh no! No no no no no!" Angela cried, taking out her blaster.
Abby did the same. "What is it?" She cried. Just then, she noticed that they weren't alone. Six humans were crowded together, trembling in fear. There were three kids and three adults. The youngest looked about four.
"Okay what is going on?!" Abby exclaimed.
"You brought humans in the realm of the Prime's!" a familiar voice rang out.
The turned.
There, in the distance, stood none other than Optimus and a floating mini con.
"Um, Angela? Explain. NOW." Abby said. Her friend took a deep breath.
"Optimus trained with the Primes after Predacons rising, but, if we are here, then..." Angela was cut off by stomping. "...he's here," she sighed.
All the humans froze. A giant, strong-looking bot was approaching them fast. Abby then noticed a giant hill in the middle of the world.
"Okay, so what's the..." she started. The bot released four mini-cons and they transformed. "...plan?" Abby finished, drawing her lightsaber. She knew a bit more about sword fighting now than she did when she first got her lightsaber, mostly thanks to YouTube tutorials.
"Stay alive?" Angela offered.
The cons charged. Abby ignited her lightsaber and Angela grabbed her blaster.
"GO GO!" Abby called yelled at the humans. All six of the humans ran for the hill, while she blocked the blasts aimed at them. Optimus finally made it over to them and started attacking the mini-cons.
"Humans, run!" ordered Optimus, initially not recognizing them. He did a double take. "Angela? Abby? What are you doing here?!"he asked, stabbing a mini con.
"Teleporter glitch," Abby explained, cutting the arm off a mini con. The mini con became even more enraged, but Angela used her magnets to repel it into the hill.
"You should go, this is my fight!" Optimus said, hitting the bulky con down.
"I'm not leaving you to fight alone!" Angela declared. Abby nodded. "I'm with Angela on this one. Besides, I don't know if there's a way out of here," she said. Optimus nodded, seeing there was no time to debate.
"Hey what's the hill for!" Abby asked, as they started running to the humans. They were all gathered on the top of the hill, watching them fight. They had almost reached the top of the hill when one of the mini cons used his hands as blasters and fired into the group. Two humans fell. A scream launched from Abby's mouth.
"No!" cried Angela.
"Can you try to keep them at bay?" Optimus asked.
"Does Starscream have Heels?" Angela joked Abby laughed, one single, hollow laugh. She was still reeling from the deaths of the two humans. But she couldn't dwell on it now. "We got this, go," she assured, giving a thumbs up. Optimus ran away from the hill to fight the giant con.
Abby and Angela stepped in front of the humans, but the mini cons had them surrounded on all sides. They opened fire. Abby and Angela tried to repel the shots, but they couldn't stop them all. All of the humans, except for a little boy, were shot down. Hearing the sound, Optimus turned.
"NOOOO!" Angela, Abby, and Optimus screamed simultaneously. While he was distracted, Optimus was knocked to the ground by the giant con. A few of the mini cons flew away to fight against Optimus.
Abby fell to her knees. Why did the innocent always have to endure things that they didn't deserve?! It wasn't fair!
She reached out and grabbed the limp, tiny hand of the dead four year old. The little girl lay there, so tiny and helpless...
One thought prevailed in Abby's head: Those b-words would have hell to pay. She stood up and started fighting back against the mini-cons with a ferocity and rage that was previously unknown. Angela, bless her soul, had kept fighting despite the fact that most of the humans had been killed.
Abby turned to the boy. "Okay kid, let's make this simple, stay close and don't get near the mini cons or their leader," she said, pointing at each of the bots. The little boy nodded. She cleared her throat and turned in the Prime's direction.
"OPTIMUS! HURRY UP!" Abby yelled, slicing a mini con in half.
"One down four more!" Angela encouraged, blasting another mini con. In retaliation, Abby jumped up and chopped off the heads of two mini cons. Angela grinned and repeled the rest of the mini cons. The big bot's optics suddenly focused on the three of them. He shoved Optimus away and ran towards the hill. The little boy dove behind Abby's legs. A panel had appeared on the top of the hill. It was obvious that only a Prime could access it. Both girls stood in fighting stance. Abby stared at the bot, looking for any obvious weak spots. There were none. She sighed. Looks like video game bosses were even more unrealistic then she thought possible. Just before the bot could take a swing at them, lightning shot out from behind them, hitting and destroying the giant con. The three humans turned. Optimus had reached the panel, his hand pressing the button.
Angela and Abby lowered their weapons, relaxing. Abby turned to the boy, grinning, but he was slowly disappearing into thousands of pixels. She reached out for him, managing to grab his hand before he vanished completely. "No! How is this happening?!" Abby exclaimed.
Angela laughed awkwardly. "Yeah, about that, those humans weren't...real," she said, fidgeting.
Abby's eye twitched. "Why didn't you say anything?!" She hissed.
"Sorry, Optimus had to think that they were real in order for the test to work," Angela explained, in a "we can't talk more or we'll break the fourth wall" voice. Abby sighed and they walked over to Optimus.
"So these are the humans that are from another universe?" The floating Prime asked, examining the two of them. Instinctively, Abby stood up a little straighter. "Yes. Abby, Angela this is Micronus. He is training me," Optimus explained.
"Nice to meet you sir. I have one question. How were we sent here?" Abby asked.
Micronus sighed. "I'm unsure about that but the fact that you are from another realm might have caused a chain reaction when I brought the human like holo-forms here," he explained.
"That kinda makes sense." Angela said.
"Well we better get going." Abby said.
Optimus smiled at them. "I'll tell the others you said hello," he said. Both Abby and Angela did a double take.
"Hold up! You're allowed to leave?!" Abby asked.
Optimus nodded. "Yes, I am," he replied.
"Okay never mind that. Yes tell the others we said hi," Angela said.
"And tell Rust Bucket that I miss stealing his wrenches," added Abby.
Optimus gave her a tiny smile. "I have good news as well Arcee and Bumblebee are expecting a sparkling," he said.
Abby and Angela's jaws dropped.
"ITS ABOUT TIME!" Angela exclaimed waving her hands in the air happily.
"Give them our congrats." Abby said.
"I will," Optimus promised. And with that, Micronus sent them home.
Unicron stared at the far wall of his cell, muttering the only words that had kept him sane.
Destruction.
Decepticon.
Prime.
Revenge.
Dominion.
Kingdom.
Chaos.
He had been repeating those words for so long, they had almost lost their meaning. But he knew that someday, they would be more than words.
Just then, a small beam of light appeared in front of him.
"What this?" Unicron said to himself. He looked closer. As he peered into it, his face contorted into a smile, something he hadn't done in over a thousand years.
There it was: a new world.
A new place to start.
A place to spread darkness.
A world to rule.
