Transformers Armada/AU: At the end of the show instead of falling to Unicron Galvatron survived, with the help of Optimus Prime. I know in TF Energon show he came back but I never liked he just went back to being bad, since at the end of Armada he tried to sacrifice his life to stop Unicron. It would have been a perfect opportunity to have him turn good. I would have liked he survived and joined Optimus and started a new life.
Optimus and Galvatron are brothers
(Will contain slash pairings)
Summary: With the war finally over the Cybertronians have a home on Earth and new beginnings are taking place for everyone. Restoring Cybertron is still important for everyone but different kind of threats halt their plans but with Optimus and Galvatron's help, the threat is being dealt with. But soon an even bigger threat will emerge that will destroy everything they so worked hard to build.
A New Start and New Problems
Chapter 1
The war with the Decepticons and Autobots is over. At the heat of the battle with Unicron, Galvatron the leader of the Decepticons made the choice to end the war. It was with the help of Optimus words and the love he still had for him that he managed to end it. Optimus pleaded with his brother to end his lust for power and instead of killing himself he could make peace happen by choosing to end the war, just by saying the words. The fact that he was willing to sacrifice his life to save everyone proved that he wanted to do the right thing.
With peace finally upon was losing. He fed off the negative energy of the war. All the deaths, the power of every weapon and bombs and the hatred from all who fight. Now hatred was replaced by joy and hope-filled every Cybertronian and Mini-con spark for the future.
With his food supply going Unicron lashed out trying to destroy the two of them, wanting to stop them from speaking to their troops, to stop the message of peace.
As destruction rained down all around them Tidalwave and Jetfire came and rescued the two leaders quickly and with them out of range the ships fired on Unicron, blasting the massive mech apart. His screams tore into ever Cybertronian and Mini-con but they wouldn't let up until he was dead.
Galvatron and Optimus watched his destruction from the top of the leading vessel and smiled at one another. Unicron was destroyed and a new hope began.
...
Many years have passed the Cybertronain's made their home on Earth and partly on Cybertron too. Cooperating with the Governments of Earth they were allowed to build a city. In exchange, they would help them in times of crisis and share their technology to help better the lives of people on Earth.
The city was built in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and they named it Haven. Rad and his friends helped to come up with the name and did a lot of work to help the governments work alongside the giant robots. They were heroes in getting relationships started.
Most Cybertronians lived in the city rebuilding their lives, while others went to rebuild in different planets or their home planet. They would be transported to Cybertron and would work on one building or one street at a time. The Mini-cons worked with them, they were free to do what they wanted and go where they wanted. They were no longer slaves. Still many couldn't leave their partners since they fought alongside them for so long, they felt it wouldn't be right to leave them.
Life was good at Haven but they still faced their fair share of biggest problem they faced at present was the Horrors. With Unicron's destruction, his life force and parts scattered all over the planet and his blood infected the dead and life forms that lived on the planet's surface or deep in the core. It drove them mad and twisted them into horrible things. They would attack the rebuilding posts wanting to destroy or eat their prey.
Optimus was quick to make a decision on this problem and set up a special squad to drive back these attackers called 'HUNTERS' until they can come up with a more permanent solution. Galvatron the ex-Decepticon leader was in charge of them.
Joining Galvatron now he was sitting in one of the recreational rooms playing cards. Cyclonus laughed as usual at how crappy Demolisher hand was and he, in turn, whacked the laughing bot's face. Tidalwave kept quite only speaking if he really wanted to and Wheeljack was busy chatting to Hotshot on his phone. Leader-1 sat on Galvatron's shoulder watching the game as he was interested in it.
Galvatron growled looking at Wheeljack. "Put that phone down or I'm taking that off you. It's your go".
Wheeljack only smiled and told Hotshot he would meet him later. Hanging up he put his cards on the table. "I believe this is when the humans say, read them and weep!"
Cyclonus mouth hung open for a second before throwing the cards away and folded his arms in a huff. "Ah! No fair! He barely gets involved in this game and he wins!"
"Oh relax maybe next time I'll let you win". Wheeljack laughed and collected his credits.
Galvatron chuckled slightly as he sat his cards down. He heard a noise to the left and looked at the clock which struck the hour, beside it was a date and his spark ached slightly. Today was the anniversary of Starscream's death. He fell silent as the painful image formed in his mind. The seeker gave his life to try and stop Unicron. He regretted not ever listening to him. He might be alive today if he did.
"Galvatron Sir? Are you ok?" Demolisher noticed he was quiet. Even with the war over Demolisher always called him Sir, it was a habit he couldn't get out of.
Galvatron lifted his helm to face him."Yes, I'm fine, just...just old memories". He rubbed his fingers against the necklace he wore. Inside the locket was the remains of the very tiny stone that Starscream gave to Alexis. She gave part of it to Galvatron to help remind him to not make the same mistake with anyone else. Listen to those who are trying to help.
The game stopped and the room went quite obviously Galvatron troubled by Starscream's death. He always was around this time of year.
The others soon learned what was wrong with him and Hotshot was the first to speak. "Galvatron, Starscream is in a better place now. You do not need to regret what happened anymore. He is at peace in the well of all sparks".
Cyclonus poured down his drink in one gulp. "Yeah! Forget him Galvatron. He was a pain in the-Ouch!" He got slapped suddenly by Wheeljack.
"We remember those we lost Cyclonus! That's what makes us learn from our mistakes".
Galvatron agreed and he raised his glass. "To Starscream…"
The others did the same even if Cyclonus was forced to do it. 'TO STARSCREAM!'
As they drank to his name suddenly an alarm rang out the room flashing red and blue. Galvatron stood up smiling. "Men you know what this means!"
Demolisher grinned with delight and slammed his fists together. "It's hurting time!"
"Ha, the only one that is going to get hurt is you Demolisher! Cyclonus joked.
Wheeljack rolled his optics. "Will you two just get a room and sort out your problems!"
Demolisher looked at him blushing madly but shaken by what he said. "W..what!
Galvatron yelled now. "Enough!"We got some destroying to do!" The Ex-Decepticon leader with his fellow mechs ran out of the room towards the transportation room nearly knocking down some poor bots that were just passing through. Galvatron gave the word that the Mini-cons that form the Star Saber and the Skyboom shield were to meet them there.
…
In the Transportation control room above the Space Bridge, Optimus was standing beside Red Alert as his friends were locking onto the location of where the creatures were attacking. It was the rebuilding outpost 4
"Good, well knowing Galvatron he'll be here soon".
Optimus was right in his guess. Galvatron and the others ran into the room and faced the Space Bridge waiting for it to come online. Optimus looked down watching as Galvatron's group was eager for another battle. Optimus pressed the button beside him to talk through the speakers. "Brother, everyone be careful ok please".
Galvatron looked up and just laughed. "Oh please, you worry too much Optimus".
"You're my Galvatron, I can't help but worry.'
Red Alert typed the location and Space Bridge came online.
"Everything is ready Optimus".
"Alright, Galvatron" He gave him a smile and a thumbs up. "Go for it"
Galvatron nodded then faced his group. "Alright, another battle has come. Watch yourself, cover each other's back and don't get yourselves killed!"
They all nodded and then with Galvatron leading them they ran into the Ground Bridge returning to what was left of their home.
...
They landed close to the work outpost and Galvatron's attention was drawn to the were coming from one of the warehouses which housed the materials and equipment. Many came running out being chased by spider liked creatures.
There was as tall as Cyclonus, black with the purple corruption of dark energon showing in their bodies. They gave off a high pitched roar sending a shockwave out causing pain within those that sadly unfortunate enough to be in its path, immobilizing them for an easy kill. The spiders would leap on them and rip at their throats and drink their energon.
The group stood together but Cyclonus was feeling nervous about this. He hated these things.
"Ahh Galvatron can I be in charge of getting the workers to safety, I don't fancy going after those things".
"We attack the beasts Optimus and his men get everyone to safety. Now as my brother would say. Let's roll out!"
Everyone charged. Galvatron ran forward commanding the Star Saber mini-cons to unite. Gripping the blade he jumped forward and sliced one of the spider's legs and kicked it over so it fell on its back. He stabbed the thing in the belly its life force gusted out as it kicked and thrashed for a few moments until finally, it died.
Galvatron then charged at a group of them that were running at some of the workers. He smiled slamming the shield into some of them, the impact forced the creatures off the ground and flying over the scared worker. Galvatron then killed the others quickly and told the worker to run for cover while the last spider tried to attack. It screamed its high pitch sound trying to stop Galvatron in his tracks. The ex-Decepticon leader brought up the shield and absorbed the sound so it was unable to reach him, then he leaped into the air and slammed his foot right down on the creature head crushing it.
"Get out of here now!" He yelled at the scared worker who hurried to find a safe place to be or to get to the nearest transport shuttle.
"Galvatron look out!"
The ex-Decepticon suddenly felt something stuck his back and the force knocked him to the ground hard causing the sword to leave his hand. 2 spiders had attacked and jumped on top of his back, their mouths opening wide to bite at him but the creatures instead cried out in pain as they were blasted back.
Demolisher ran to his side* You ok sir!?"
Galvatron got up and grabbed his sword and shield again. "Yes, I'm fine" More of the creatures were coming towards them. "Tidalwave we need you! We have to Get in there and see where they are coming from!"
The tallest mech nodded and he walked towards it. He just easily smashed any creature that got in his path crushing them and stepping on them. With his aid, the others managed to get through into the warehouse and they located where the creatures got in. A hole was at the back of the warehouse, the creature crawled their way up looking for victims.
"We need to block this!" Wheeljack shouted as he fired on another creature.
"Tidalwave take care of this"
The massive mech grabbed parts of the wall tearing it and throwing the pieces down in the hole to cover it up while Wheeljack sealed it.
Demolisher cried out as a shockwave hit him, he held his head and fell to his knees. A spider leaped to attack but ended up getting his head sliced off. The hurt mech looked up and saw Cyclonus with a metal pole bashing the spider repeatedly until it was no more. Screaming, I hate spiders! I hate spiders!.
Demolisher got up rubbing his helm. "You saved me...ah thanks".
Cyclonus looked at him but turned his head away blushing slightly. "Yeah, whatever we are friend's now but come let's get out of here".
Galvatron and Wheeljack helped seal the hole now completely covering it and making it impossible for the spiders to get in. Well, I'm glad that is over" Wheeljack said.
"Alright men outside!"
"You don't need to tell us twice!" Cyclonus and Demolisher were already running away glad to just get away from that place. Soon they were all outside now, just taking a breather.
"I hate spiders!"
"We know Cyclonus well the deed is done. I'll call my brother".
Galvatron soon informed Optimus of the attack was stopped.
The Prime signed "The attacks seem to be getting more frequent"
"I know but we can't stop our mission Optimus we have to rebuild Cybertron"
"And we will Galvatron but we have to make sure our workforce is protected too"
He had a point without them the rebuilding wouldn't get anywhere." Alright Optimus, hmm we need to make more defenses in order to protect the builders. We should schedule another meeting and work on a few ideas'
Optimus agreed. "Alright I'll see you back home soon"
"Fine little spark, Galvatron out"
Optimus pressed the button to end the call and sat back. He smiled slightly. It made him really happy hearing Galvatron call him little spark again. It brought memories of his childhood to him ever time. His brother has come a long way since the war has ended and he was proud of him.
Galvatron turned to his friends "Alright that's us, Hunters, we return to base but first we have people here to look after. The wounded and sadly the dead. It's a shame we lost ones today but we won't let these things beat us in having our home back".
His men nodded and they went off to help. Helping to restore Cybertron was very important especially to Galvatron as he believed it might make up for all the death and suffering he caused. He doubted anyone will ever fully forgive him but he had to try, for his own sake and in Starscream's name. He needed to make things right again.
