Chapter 1-When the World Ends

Jack's POV

It was all so surreal, here we were, among giants of robotic aliens who were engaged in a bloody war facing off against each other. It was something I couldn't have seen coming, something I would never predicted my life going too and yet I couldn't imagine it any other way.

Another explosion rocked all three of us nearby as the fighting intensified, we looked on helplessly as from our glass prisons the Autobots fought hard to stop the world from ending by Megatron's twist hand.

I heard Arcee cry out as she was against Knockout, a twist medic of the Decepticon's.

"You won't win, my dear, it's hopeless and soon, Earth will be gone and a new world will replace it!" He shouted to her as she searched for the Apex Armor that she took off to get us back.

She grimaced, "Not today, not EVER!"

Arcee lunged at him and again they were doing the deadly dance all over again, I looked to my side's to see the terrified faces of my human friends. Raf looked to me with a desperation in his eyes.

"What do we do, Jack?!" Tears were brimming up from his eyes.

I looked back and up to the beam that was currently reforming the planet we called home, I looked back to see both Miko and Raf staring at me, looking for leadership, none which I had to give.

I felt the sting of tears running down my cheeks, "We…..c-can't…" I choked out, both of them seemed to deflate into themselves, Miko collapsing on the floor of the prison.

"N-No, we…..our families and friends are there…" She seemed to going into a type of shock as shamelessly tears fell from her eyes.

Another battle cry but this one cut threw the fighting like a dagger, as we looked to see Optimus Prime desperately heading for the main controls of the Omega Lock. He drew the Star Saber and jumping off of Starscream smashed it down onto the controls.

A great explosion took us all, and in a instant I knew something was wrong. I heard it before I felt it, the cracking.

And….the sound of shattering….glass.

I felt the glass cut into my skin as I landed hard on the metallic surface of Cybertron, I could feel the explosion burning parts of my skin, but not severally, still hurt though. Through the fog of my blurred vision and pain I saw that Raf's and Miko's glass cells had also shattered.

Raf laid unmoving on the ground, cuts everywhere and his leg at an odd angle. Miko screamed as a large shard was embedded into her shoulder, minor cuts everywhere and the smell of slightly singed hair and flesh.

There was blood everywhere, I felt my head and knew I had a large gash and maybe a concussion from how hard I hit the ground with my head. Explained the blurred vision and the sudden need to vomit.

I kept it in as I looked around the rest of the area, everyone but us and Knockout with Arcee were pushed off the platform that held the Omega Lock. Some bodies of Vehicons laid dead and scattered about but we were the only living things on it. I could hear groans from beneath the ground below, thus how I came to the conclusion that they were launched off.

I laid back down, though painful for the cuts on my back, I did so.

Looking up I saw something that horrified me, the Space Bridge that connected us to Earth was a different color then usual. It was a toxic green and black color and it shook with lightning that was green, then I felt myself rise.

It was sucking us in, I tried to call out but the air in my lungs was gone. I choked as the realization that there was no air on this planet set in. Panicked I looked to the others, who with Miko being the only other human awake was struggling as well, with us rising I could see Arcee and Knockout rising with us.

Arcee called out to me.

"Jack!" She tried to reach out or move but the sucking from the portal kept us apart.

I could hear shouts of alarm coming from below us now, I could hear Bulkhead and Bumblebee calling out for Miko and Raf. I could hear Starscream call out for Knockout, I could hear Optimus call out for Arcee.

As the waking world bled away from me, the last thing I heard was my Mother calling out.

Even though, she wasn't even there.

Near Vault 111 in the Commonwealth…..

Unknown POV

The skies were grey with a coming acid storm, the lands were desolate and grey with smatterings of browns and rusty metals the glittered like treasure. A dark figure stepped through the wooded area, all the tree's long dead. The air was silent with no bird or animal but merely the footsteps of the stranger.

They wore a cloak of browns and blacks and two piercing white eyes shone from under the hood.

They were looking for scraps to repair an item they had back home and needed to do it quickly before the storm settled in the next few hours.

Suddenly there was a whooshing sound and a bright green flash over the hill, interested, the stranger cautiously approached. It pulled out a miss matched rifle, and readied to fire. When they crested the hill they saw five beings lying unconscious.

Two were large metallic beings and three were human children.

Quickly the stranger ran up to the children and scanned over them to see they were greatly injured. Pulling out it's metallic hand a tractor beam came out and hoisted the children and the metallic beings.

They wanted to study the beings more and aid the children in there recovery because they knew they would die out in the Wastes.

They began their trek home, to a safe haven deep within the irradiated dirt, a Vault undiscovered for years.

Vault 81.
