War For Cluster Prime
Chapter 01: War Dawn

[Planet Cybertron, Many Years Ago]

thunderous explosion sounded within the metropolan city of 'Tyger Pax'...

a Red Van-like vehicle sped down a long, tunnel-like highway which formed mechanically as the red van raced down it.

just as it did, three alien-looking jets flew towards the tansparent tunnel.

the Lead Jet was silver and Red the jet at it's left was Dark Blue and Red while the jet at it's right was Black and Purple.

the three jets fired missles at the hightway, blowing it apart.
the Red Van tried to stop, but swerved out of control and dropped down.

it hurtled down thru the air before finally crashing onto the metallic ground below.

CHA-CHA-CHE-CHIK!

the van quickly "transformed" into a giant Robot with a red, square-shaped face insignia on his armor.

he looked up and saw the jet fly down and fire rapid gunshots at him.
the robot quickly ducked behind some cover and quickly shifted his forearm into a weapon.

as the Jets fle wover him, he fired his gun at them (but, his shots missed)
finally, he pressed a hidden button on the side of his Helmet.

"Ironhide to Autobot Command, COME IN!"

(("Jazz here, what's th-"))

"I've got CON FLIERS here, THEY'VE GOT ME PINNED!"

KA-BOOOM!

Ironhide was knocked back by his cover exploding via a Stray Missle.
he growled as he transformed into Vehicle Mode and drove off, with the Jets following him.

(("are you saying you need "help?")) questioned Jazz

"YES!"

(("but, you never ask fo-"))

"WELL, I'M ASKING FOR IT "NOW!"

the Decepti-Jets fired their missles at Ironhide (who did his best to avoid them)

"PATHETIC FOOL!, There is NO ESCAPE!" shouted the Silver Jet

as Ironhide kept dodging the missles, Jazz's voice sounded again.

(("Alright, Ironhide...I'm sending you some "Air Support."))

"Make it FAST!"

(("you got it."))

Ironhide activated his turbo and sped Faster.
but, the Jets just activated their own Boosters and chased after him.

"I got 'em in my sights!" exclaimed the Blue jet

"then, FIRE, you idiot!" snapped the Silver Jet

the Blue Jet readied to fire...but, "something" suddenly flew by him.
the jet rocked in teh air a bit, startled by the sudden move.

"W-WHOOOA!
HEY!, WHAT WAS THAT!"

"I don't know!, i'm not getting Anything on my Scanners." began teh Black jet

"IGNORE IT, AND SLAG THAT AUTOB-"

suddenly, a Red and Gold "Mini-Jet" flew over the Silver Jet.

"STARSCREAM!, ABOVE YOU!" shouted the Black Jet

"WHAT!"

the Mini-Jet suddenly transformed into a Human-Sized Robot.
whose Gold and Red armor looked like an Egyptian Pharroh.

he landed on Starscream and smirked.
the Android then gripped a grenade in his hand and planted it onto the Jet.

"Later, "Screamer."

the Robot then transformed back into Jet Mode and flew off.
almost immediatly, the grenade detonated and crackled with energy.

Starscream's Jet Form then began to drop down.

"NOOOOOOOOO!
MY SYSTEMS ARE FAILING!, I CA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Starscream crashed into teh ground, Nosecone First.

"BLAST HIM!" shouted the Blue Jet

Both Jets tried to fire at the Mini-Jet with their Machine Guns...but kept missing.

"I CAN'T GET A LOCK, he's Too Small!" exclaimed the Black Jet

the Mini-Jet flew over and fired a Grenade at the Black Jet.
the grenade latched into it's nosecone and cracked with energy.

the Black Jet soon dropped down from the sky.

"THUNDERCRACKER!, HEEEEEEEEEELP!"

the Black Jet crashed into the ground.

"SKYWAAAAAARP!"

the Mini-Jet then flew over Thundercracker and quickly transformed intp Robot Mode.
it landed onto Thundercracker's visor, and with a smirk...punched into it, cracking it.

"HEY!, G-GET OFF ME!"

"make me."

Thundercracker began to fly erraticly.
the Red-and-Gold Robot looked over...then, grinned.

"Whoops, this is MY stop."

the android leapt off of Thundercracker.
the blue jet looked...and, saw that he was flying straight for a demolished building.

"oh, SLAAAAAAAAAA-!"

Thundercracker crashed into the building, firmly lodged into it.
the red-and-gold robot hovered in place via his rocket boots as he watched this.

he then smirked.

"decepticons..."

the Red-and-Gold robot lowered down to Ironhide and landed.
he approached the Autobot...who was a towering giant compared to HIM.

Ironhide grinned as he looked at the android.

"Megas."

Megas grinned.

"hey, Ironhide...hows it goin?"

Ironhide shifted his weapon back into a hand.

"fine...thanks for the assist.
though, i was Expecting one of the Aerialbots."

Megas shrugged.

"well, they were Busy with the Constructicons...so, "I" filled in."

Ironhide smiled.

"well...THANKS."

Megas then became serious.

"so, what ARE you doing in Tyger Pax?
this place hasn't been populated since the Great War of Cybertron first started."

Ironhide opened a hatch in his forearm and pulled out a square disk.

"THIS is." said Ironhide

"this disk has intel that is VITAL for the Autobots.
if the 'Cons get this disk (or, destroy it) we may lose the war."

Megas looked at the disk.

"what's on the disk?"

"Sorry, i can't talk about that HERE.
you never know "who" might be listening."

Mega nodded.

"okay, fine...but, your damaged pretty badly, Ironhide.
why don't you give ME the disk and let me deliver it."

"i don't know...it's kinda MY miss-"

"I can handle myself, TRUST ME."

Ironhide stared down at the "small" robot.
he finally exhaled and handed the disk to Megas.

as Megas touched it, the Disk mechanically shrunk down.
now small enough, Megas took the disk and held it in his hand.

he then opened up a hatch in his forearm and placed it in a compartment.

"the Drop-Off point is the ruins of Crystal City."

"gotcha."

Megas then transformed into his jet mode and flew off...leaving Ironhide alone.

Megas flew over a demolished city...which looked like a War Zone and, was littered with the bodies of many dead Cybertronians.

both Autobots AND Decepticons.

Megas flew towards the city and transformed into Robot Mode.
the Red-and-Gold robot stood at the battlefield, overlooking the carnage from LONG AGO.

the robot frowned with depression, sighing sharply.
though this wasn't His Planet...it's Death and Destruction still weighed heavily on his "mechanical heart."

"MEGAS!"

Megas looked and saw a red car-like vehicle speed towards him.
it transformed into a red robot with a a yellow chestpiece.

"Blaster."

Blaster approached him.

"you have the DISK, man?"

Megas opened up the hatch on his forearm he took out the disk and handed it to Blaster.

the Autobot took the disk (which increased in size as he did)
and, inserted it into a Disk Slot on his forearm.

his blue optics them flashed.

"Got the information...Exellent Work, Man."

Megas looked at Blaster.

"so, what exactly IS this information?"

"coordnants for inhabitable Star Systems."

Megas widened his optics.

"Star Systems?
you mean...you guys are planning on LEAVING?"

"no...not yet." said Blaster

"but, this war is getting Waaaaay too dangerous.
we may have to send our Protoforms off-world."

"your children?"

"ALL our children."

Megas looked down, exhaling.
he then looked at at the destroyed city.

"Megas?"

"I'm not sure if i should keep doing this, going on Black-Op missions for the Autobots."

"what!"

"I'm a KING, Blaster...the king of my own Planet.
and, i haven't been fulfilling my "kingly duties", lately."

"well, you HAVE been helping us."

"I know...but, i think i need to stop." began Megas

"my wife, Vexus...she just gave birth to our daughter."

Blaster widened his optics.

"oh...i see."

"I can't keep going on these dangerous missions, Blaster...
not when I know that I have a Wife and Child waiting for me back home."

"you don't want to leave your child "fatherless."

Megas hung his head.

"no."

Blaster exhaled...then, smiled.

"Then...go back to Cluster Prime.
things will be different without you...but, i think we'll manage."

Megas smiled as he looked at Blaster.

"thanks."

"you WILL keep in touch, right?"

Megas nodded.

"count on it."

Megas transformed into his Mini-Jet form and flew off into the sky.
Blaster watched as "King Megas" disappeared into the skies, departing for his own Homeplanet.

"so long...Old Friend."

[Planet Earth, Present Day]

"GAAAHHH!"

a teenage human boy with Blonde hair and blue Eyes shot up from his bed.
he panted heavily, his skin sweating from the "freaky" dream he had.

he looked and saw that it was still nightfall.
the boy groaned as he grabbed his face, rubbing his flesh.

"man...what was THAT?"

the boy looked over at a table by his bed and, looked at the framed picture of a Robot Girl.

a Girl with yellow "skin", green optics with black puples dark pink hair-like helmet and wearing Pink-and-Green, metallic clothes.

the boy finally grabbed the portrait and looked at it.
exhaling, he finally laid it down and hung his head low.

"vega..."

the boy looked over at a celphone on his table.
he hesitated, but eventually reached over and grabbed it.

flipping it open, and pressed a button and activated speed dial.
he held the phone to his ear and waited as he listened to the ring.

"come on, come one: pick up, Vega..."

the phone continued to ring.

"i know your there...your phone is Built Into your head."

at last, the boy heard a click...followed by a yawn.

(("he-hello?"))

"VEGA!, it's...it's me."

(("Alex?"))

Alex sighed.

"yeah, sorry to call so late.
but...i had a Dream, a BAD one.

and, i need talk to you."

there was a brief silence...Vega then spoke.

(("sure, Alex...sure.
what was you dream about?"))

"about YOU."

(("Me?"))

"I saw you (in my dreams)...being k-k-killed."

(("killed?"))

"uh-huh...it's been going on for awhile now.
ever since those assasination attempts on you...i keep having these Dreams."

(("oh, Alex...DON'T WORRY.")) began Vega

(("i have the best body guards on Cluster Prime protecting me.
not to mention Jenny and Sheldon while i'm on Earth."))

"i know...but, i STILL worry."

there was a silence.
Vega finally spoke in teh sweetest voice she could.

(("it'll be Alright, Alex...I PROMISE.
so, just go back to sleep...i'll be okay."))

Alex exhaled sharply.

"fine...okay.
sorry to bother you."

(("don't worry about it."))

CLICK!

Alex sighed sharply as he flipped his phone closed.
he laid it down on the table...then, looked at Vega's picture again.

the boy gently touched the part where Vega's face was.
he finally brought the picture closer and "kissed" where Vega's lips were.

he then placed the portrait on the table and sighed sharply.
after a few minutes passed, Alex finally grabbed his celphone again.

flipping it open, he speed dialed another number.
placing the phone at his ear, he waited patiently as he listened to the ringing.

(("Autobot Moonbase ONE, this is Blaster "blasting: at 'ya!"))

"Blaster, it's me."

(("Alex?"))

Alex nodded.

"yep."

(("well, HEY, Man!...how's it goin!"))

Alex frowned.

"not too good.
LISTEN...i need you to do me a favor."

(("sure, man...What?"))

"I have a friend...a ROBOT friend.
her name is Vega, she's the new Queen of Cluster Prime.

lately, some Hostile Robots have been trying to kill her.
and, i REALLY want her kept safe, so i was hoping that-"

(("No prob, Alex.
I'll send some Autobots to keep an eye on her."))

Alex smiled, feeling relieved.

"THANKS!
by the way, she tends to go to school on BOTH Earth and Cluster Prime."

(("sure, man...SURE.
i'll make sure she won't go ANYWHERE without Autobots watching her."))

"Thank you, Blaster...you don't know how much this means for me."

(("hey, ANYTHING for my Main Man, Alex."))

Alex smiled as he hung up his phone.
he laid it down, yawned loudly then laid down and went back to sleep.

[Meanwhile, in an Unknown Location]

"FOOL!"

a large, bulky robot grasped a small, "mustached" robot.

"SMYTUS, NOOO!"

Smytus continued to throttle the "old robot" violently.

"YOU CALL THAT YOUR "ULTIMATE WEAPON", KRAKUS!
the missle MISSED Vega and hit ME, instead!"

"I...I don't understand!
mt designs were PERFECT!, it should of Scrapped her!"

Smytus finally tossed Krakus aside, slaming him into a wall.

as the two bickered, "someone" entered the room.
Smytus and Krakus looked and saw a dark figure enter the room.

it was a Robot Male with a thin, pointy-looking body.
his metal skin was dark blue, and wore Black armor.

his cat-like optice glowed bright red as he grinned menacingly.

"evening." said the robot, his voice sinister

Smytus and Krakus immediatly stood up straight.

"C-COMMANDER METALIKHAN, SIR!" said both Smytus and Krakus in union.

Metalikhan gestured at them with his talon-like hand.

"at EASE."

Smytus and Krakus relaxed as Metalikhan approached them.

"i see yet ANOTHER plan to terminate Vega has FAILED."

Smytus and Krakus looked at each other.

"w-well, you see-"

"SILENCE!" snapped Metalikhan

Smytus and Krakus quieted down as Metalikhan continued to speak.

"pathetic...once the Cluster Empire held entire Star Systems in the grip of terror.
now, we can't even kill ONE TEENAGE GIRL to jumpstart a War that'll return us to Glory!"

Smytus and Krakus looked ashamed and disappointed.

"in the PAST, Queen Vexus always led us to victory." said Krakus, finally

Metalikhan chuckled.

"yes, well...Vexus isn't HERE.
in fact, NO ONE has Seen or Heard from her for "Obital-Cycles"

"not since that Garbage Planet she was stranded on EXPLODED." added Smytus

Metalikhan narrowed his optics, scowling.

"I thought we could do this WITHOUT Vexus...but, Clearly that isn't the case."

Metalikhan turned and faced Smytus.

"send some Cluster Drones to search for Vexus, start in the last recorded location.
if we are to reclaimed Cluster Prime for our own, Vexus MUST lead us, again."

"but...but, even if Vexus DID survive.
there is NO WAY she'll support our assasination plan against her own Daughter, VEGA."

Metalikhan grappled Smytus chestplate, bringing his face to his.

"oh...she WILL, Smytus.
one way or another...she WILL."

Author Note: I decided to get this Chapter Posted (this story has been in "development hell" LONG ENOUGH)

Anyway, this is the start of a Crossover between Transformers and "My Life as a Teenage Robot" (a Crossover that fits)

I decided to start this with a "War for Cybertron" sequence and introduce King Megas (Vega's Father and Queen Vexus's Husband) who is Obviously not a Bad Guy.

I also introduced Alex, his relationship with Vega and setup the basic plot for the story: War on Cluster Prime

It's worth noting that this is an AU story (Alternate Universe)

so, no correcting me on what happened in certain episodes.

Note: the title of this chapter is INDEED named after the G1 Transformers epiosode "War Dawn"

Also, when I wrote Starscream's lines
I had "Chris Latta's" voice in mind.
