This is a story written by my boyfriend and I. We have worked very hard on this story so far, and we're looking forward to continuing it. We hope you all like it and we hope to get many reviews that will help us continue to make our work better.
It was getting close to the eve of the War for Cybertron. The planet is gleaming with all of its glory. Cybetronians had yet to fear the name Megatron. It was dull work but it had to be done. Mining for Energon was a necessity, for all cybetronians ran off of Energon. It was dangerous work however, because too much Energon will send a cybertronian offline. This was work the three friends had control over. It was almost second nature to them. Inside the metallic, glistening quarry the sounds of metal hitting and scraping against more metal is easily audible. A large cybertronian lifted his pick axe up high into the air before bringing it back down to the metallic surface of Cybertron's earth. The axe pierced ore as sparks flew into his face. He did not flinch at all as the sparks flew into his optic lenses.
Two nearby cybertronians were hard at work right beside him. "Hey Avalanche," one of the cybertronians called out, "You ever think we'll run out of Energon?" he asked. The cybertronian named Avalanche stopped mining as he looked up into Cybertron's atmosphere. "I don't know... Why do you ask?" he replied. The transformer dropped his axe as he rearranged his body parts to transform into a sleek, red, cybertronian car. He cruised over to Avalanche and changed back to his robot form. He looked up at Avalanche before speaking, "I'm just trying to estimate how much time we have until we're out of a job." he smiled. Avalanche bellowed out a mighty chuckle as his metal clanked against itself. "It's just like you, Hotstreak, to think about currency over something important. I'm pretty sure if we ran out of Energon there wouldn't be much work to be done since we'd all be going offline and joining the Allspark." Avalanche remarked.
The last transformer walked over to the two. "Well looks like we've mined this terminal clean of all of its sources." he stretched as Hotstreak and Avalanche nodded with agreement. Avalanche carried the rest of the Energon and carefully placed the Energon cubes into their mining cart. Avalanche transformed into an white rig as he attached himself to the cart; Hotstreak also transformed and attached himself to the left over cart. Hotstreak drove over to the last untransformed cybertronian. "C'mon Hardwire let's move it or lose it." Hotstreak teased. Hardwire looked up from his daze in surprise. "Yeah yeah I'm coming... I was just picking up some weird signals." Hardwire said while switching his stare from Hotstreak to his gadget. Hardwire transformed into a violet blue jet and took to the skies.
Off in the distance a menacing transformer is watching the trio as they drove away. "Soundwave make sure you gather plenty of Energon! We'll need it for my new space station once I finally gather and harness the dark Energon!" a voice boomed inside the headset of the transformer. "Soundwave acknowledges. Engaging targets," the transformer replied. Soundwave released his three companions Rumble, Laserbeak, and Ravage. The three decepticons were in pursuit of the three cybertronians. Hardwire, intently watching his scanners, saw three beeps closing the distance between him and his friends. Before Hardwire could warn the others he was shot repeatedly by Laserbeak. He crashed to the ground. Hotstreak and Avalanched transformed and turned around. "What's going on?" Avalanche shouted. Before either of the transformers could think they were assaulted by Soundwave and his partners. The cybertronians were outgunned and outmatched and the Energon was snatched away by the superior might of Soundwave and his minions. The cybertronians lay unconscious on the ground as the decepticons flew away. Moments later two vehicles approached the cybertronians. "Optimus... These bots have yet to go offline..." said one of the figures. "Then let's revive them Ratchet." said the one called Optimus.
