Last time on The Son of Unicron…
When they reached him they saw him standing on a hill overlooking another army that was coming his way. He looked over his shoulder spotting Hestia and asked "What they didn't even wait a week before they decided to kill me?" Looking at him sadly Hestia spoke "They truly wanted you dead. I'm sorry but they won't be keeping you here for more than a month before they try to kill you."
Nearly three weeks later…The new twelve legion put together by several decimated legions took march to Greece under the command of General Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano. Unknown to both the Greece and Rome world's this was the battle that would change all of their life's.
The fall of defence
3rd person pov (136 B.C. Brianian's defence base on the Greece-Rome line.)
Brianian looked out over his army and knew these next battles would be his last with them. They had already fought so hard for the last three weeks and he couldn't ask anymore of them. They had a pile of injured and the Romans showed no sign of stopping. Brianian growled at the thought that this Roman general was able to match him in strategy every step of the way. He had been trained by Primordials before he cut them down. He had been trained by Titans. He had even had his army fight against Atlas and won. But this… this Roman had matched him in strategy. But then he thought 'However she does outnumber us twenty to one. No matter we will fight until reinforcements arrive. They should be here in the next days… maybe even today.'
Roman camp over the hill
As the Romans looked over the hills they saw the forces of Greece. There were only 100 people in this army compared to their 2,000. But they still stood in between the Romans and Greece. Reyna looked out over the coming battlefield and said "Remember what you have seen over these last weeks. They will fight till the last man for as long as possible before they finally retreat. So remember this. For every legonaire to die today is another of our brothers going home in body carts. We are facing a far more experienced and bloodthirsty enemy but we have the power of yhe gods on our side and they appear to be praying and not recieving any help. We need to act fast and demolish these enemies of Rome!"
With that the Romans charged down the hill at the forces of Greece uncaring of the storm growing above them even as thunder boomed.
Greece gathering
Brianian stood before his troops and for the first time of the day they saw him look timid. Like he didn't want to say what he was about to but he still spoke. "You all have fought valiantly for the last several weeks and I will not ask anymore from you. But I plead that you will help in this battle. I have lost family and friends and will hold nothing against any of you who want to walk away. But remember this for every person that has sacrificed for our cause that is a family that won't see their mother, father, sister. uncle, brother, aunt, son, or daughter. If we lose this land here their sacrifice is in vain. Do any of you want that to happen? Do you want your family to face the might of Rome? Remember the sacrifices of your brothers and sisters and let tour body fight! Let the deads spirit flow beside you in battle and guide your blade! For we stand for Greece, for family, friends, let us fight! Let us defeat this Roman skum!" With the raising of his blade and the crash of thunder the last son of Unicron turned and ran into battle with 100 men and women behind him.
The battlefield
As the first Romans crossed onto the battlefield they saw 100 Greeks running back at them… but there were these shade like images next to each one. As the Greeks charged the shades made and army that reached high into the thousands. Several of the Romans recognized the faces of soldiers that were killed in the last few weeks and the rest like Reyna, Frank, and Jason saw faces of Greeks that they had killed themselves in the several visits to this battlefield with different armies. That was when they realised that these are the souls of the warriors of the Dark army as they called it. Then they saw Brianian leading the charge with six girls to his right and left that looked remarkably similar to him. Silently Jason and Frank gasped. They had seen those twelve before. They were the twelve dark sisters. Lost in a sneak attack that they had watched along with the Titaness Selene. That only strengthened their believe and together the Romans charged uncaring of the army gathering at the top of the hill in Greek lines.
When the first Roman hit the field he was met with a purple hammer that collided with his helmet. The guy behind him immediately had a sword through his neck and then the hammer connected with another Romans chest with a sickening crunch. Then the hammer and sword were brought up blocking three blades simultaneously while red spilled across the ground from a Romans neck. As the blind eye and the brown eye of Brianian looked up he saw the grim faces of Jason Grace, Frank Zhang, and Reyna. He looked around and saw his army matching the Romans and fighting with all they had slowly losing ground. But for every soldier that fell they made damn sure to take at least 10 to 20 Romans with em. Slowly the Greeks were pushed back to camp but they continued to fight. Brianian slid backwards from the combined might of the three leaders of the Roman army but he continued to fight.
His hammer clashed with Frank and Jason's blades as his own blade blocked Reyna's. He grinned because he could finally meet the people that have kept his army on their heels for so long. 'This will be very exciting' Brianian thought as he sidestepped to avoid the two blades that just about took his head of. Almost immediately afterwards he stepped forward slamming his hammer into Jason's chest and then kicking his foot out and tripping Frank. Forming a one on one match against Reyna he got into a defensive stance then signaled her to attack him. When she launched forward and her blade connected with his she was unprepared for the hammer to her shield leaving her arm numb. He looked at the almost crippling injury that just for the simple fact of not being able to use her arm she had lost. He slowly advanced spinning his hammer and twirling his blade he launched himself backwards as lightning and fire blasted were he was standing.
Slowly he spoke "Why do you attack us? We didn't attack you yet you attacked us. We have left Rome to grow and all of a sudden we have to defend this line on two fronts! My armies are slowly losing ground and I have far more important places to be. To the North Barbarians are attacking and slowly forcing us back while to the South small tribes are banding together and attacking. But know this here… We. Will. Win" With that he disengaged before slinging his hammer into Franks chest and slashing his blade across Jason's leg immobilizing him for the moment. Then he focused at Reyna. "So you are the one that has fought so valiantly to keep up with my tactics. You have your mothers eyes. and her skills." Once again he looks around and sees that his army has been cut down to around 40 and that the romans have lost nearly 800 men. He smiled before a grim look crossed his face. Glancing back at Reyna he spoke "I am sorry niece but… I cannot allow this battle to continue." Reyna looked at him for a moment in shock before starting "What do yo-" Was all she was able to get out before a hammer was brought down on the side of her head. Brianian sheathed his hammer before grabbing Reyna and slinging her over his shoulder before he retreated back to his line. Slowly as he backpedalled he blocked Franks blade then slung his blade to the right. This slapped away Franks blade while the bastard blade cut through a Romans neck coating the purple lined blade in another layer of blood. He continued this all the way back to the wall slowly spilling blood and guts across the field and his armor.
When he finally reached the line he roared "Retreat! This battle is lost and we have a prisoner!" Immediately his small army retreated back to the walls of Greece defending the entire time and taking in the end at least another 100 Romans down. As they all finally reached the camp walls he closed them and worked his way down to his men looking at them and saw all the damage done. He had lost two more of his soldiers and while not much in the long run it was drastic for this next battle. Then he said "Everyone! Get in the command tent. I have a proposition and plan."
30 minutes later(command tent)
After placing Reyna into the prison barracks Brianian walked to the command tent thinking on what he would do about this. He had know of the Greek army over the hill for several weeks as they watched his men fight against the Romans that just kept coming. Then this massive legion shows up. This is utter scrap for him and looking at the tired souls of his army… or what was left of it… he came up with a plan. Looking to the ground he pulled a patch of Dark Energon from his back and spilled it on the ground before whispering "Father… I ask you to please help in this time of need. My soldiers… they have become what little family I have left. Can you give them partial immortality if they accept. This way they can forever battle the forces of Rome" Then with bitterness in his voice he said "and the traitorous Greeks." When the ground rumbled and the purple liquid was absorbed into the ground Brianian heard a voice in his head. A woman's and he groaned thinking 'Not her again.'
'Well it seems like you need some help child.' Brianian growled lowly thinking why in the world would Primus be here!? Then he was sucked into another plain but he felt his father get pulled along with him
Unknown location
Brianian growled lowly and looked at himself before gaping. He was in his cybertronian form… he looked to his side and saw a tall cybertronian. Huh he looked almost like him exempt for the huge scar across Lightning Strike's right eye and the dull blue of it. Thinking he spoke finally "I'm guessing you are Unicron correct." The way he said it made it sound more like a statement and the spiked behemoth looked to his left and said in a rough Baritone "Yes I am young mech. And you are lightning Strike… the last of my children." Slowly the spiked behemoth walked towards the mech that he had to look up to meet optics with. 'Huh… never thought my own offspring would be taller than me… well I guess that's good for what he plans to do.' When he was almost close enough to touch his child 14 flashes happened to their right and 14 cybertronians stepped out and 13 of which promptly froze. Lightning Strike turned his head and took in the appearances ' Hmmm… demonic looking so probably Liege Maximo… scientific looking Alchemist… big forge… definitely Solus prime… huge blade that has to be Prima… staff that would be Alpha Trion… big golden beast that was growling at me… Onyx… on a side note this rematch will be amazing… anyway back to analyzing my targets tiny bot that would be micronus… bot with five blades floating around him Vector Prime been awhile since I got him… Five separate bots that look the same… wait what?... Oh it's Nexus separated into his different forms… forgot he was a combiner like Big Blast… I miss them… fragit all to the pit!' At this he took a servo to the back of the head and responded by slinging his hammer at his father's feet tripping him and slamming him into the floor? or whatever this was. "Now is not the time father. So cut it out!" 'Weird bot that looked exactly like him… what. the. scrap!? Wait that would be Amalgamous Prime… bot that looks like a glowing octopus… Quintus Prime… red mech with a twin blade… Sentinel… I hate him… Demonic black mech with amazing beard, staff, red eyes, and a huge gun… Megatronus… well scrap that's going to hurt… Ahh then we have the golden femme that is Primus.' Looking at Primus he growled out "Get up father… we have work to do." Then he asked "Why am I here Primus?"
She looked at him and spoke calmly "You are here because I have a proposition for you and your father. You will help my children in this next war and in favor the men that you care so much about will live. Do we have a deal?" Unicron growled out "No. We will not submit that easily Primus. If you want our help you will have to beat us." After that the two shot forward catching the primes and Primus of guard.
When they almost reached the primes Lightning Strikes blade just nicking Sentinel Primes neck there was a bright flash and they were gone.
Back at the command tent
Unicron fell on his face while Brianian had his blade out before roaring to the sky in anger. The storm above finally releasing all its power as lightning flashed and rain poured. He helped Unicron up and asked again "Will you make my soldiers partially immortal? Or will you be banished again?" Unicron looked at him and with dark purple eyes spoke "Yes my son I will… and I have a gift for you…"
Ten minutes later
Brianian walked into the command tent hid 38 remaining men and women looking at him. After several seconds of just looking at them he opened the flap and Reyna walked in wearing chains followed by a tall man almost as tall as Brianian… and the looked alike. Finally after another half minute Brianian spoke "Listen up. This will be our last stand at this fort. Greece has betrayed us-" At this there was an uproar and someone shouted "Your lying! Greece would never betray us!" Brianian's eyes flashed with lightning and he roared "SHUT IT! If you truly think that go to the army that has been over that hill for the last month. Just watching us get slaughtered. Losing our brothers and sister in arms. They want us dead. So I have a proposition for all of you. You will all become partially immortal if wanted… but you do not have to accept." As he looked around the gathered people he said again "If you want to stay here but if you want to live a normal live you may leave now." He saw the group shuffle slightly before they all stood a little taller and took a step forward but one warrior took another step and said "I believe that I speak for everyone when I say this… but I will love to serve besides you commander. For as long as you wish me to be here I will fight for you." After he spoke he kneeled before Brianian and asked "What is it you ask me to do for I shall do it." Simultaneously everyone else in the small group of forty stepped forward and did the same thing. When they all finished Brianian looked at them and spoke again "I need you all to fight this battle. But when injured or starting to get overrun retreat and meat the rest of the small army in Egypt. There are several safe houses along the way that have this symbol(Lookup heralds of Unicron)" He held up a paper with a purple head with four horns going up and a M for a mouth. "Once you find these yiu will get instructions to the next until reaching Egypt. You will wait there until I can make it back. That can be anywhere from a couple of months to a thousand years. I wish I could see you reach the target… but more important things are in front of us at the moment. Now here's the plan…"
The next morning
As a thousand Romans looked down the hill at the small fortress they had a sence of… weariness… like this battle was going to start a very bad system of events. But they were Romans so they pushed it aside and started to march. When 40 Greek warriors marches out of the gate they prepared themselves for the one sided slaughter of the greeks.
The Greeks slipped into a fighting stance and the spirits of the dead once again surrounded the force… but this time they looked slightly more real and sturdy. Brianian looked out at the thousand or so Romans easily feeling the 28 powers in the hills around the field. Buy he also felt the one that tried to slip into his tent to take the prisoner. Then he spoke loud and clear "This battle will start in half an hour. Give my army at least this small time to rightfully bury our dead out of respect. I will not let their bodies rot because they have fallen with honor." Almost immediately the Greeks set to work grabbing their dead and slowly dragging them back into the fortress were they were buried instead of burned. This was severely different from what they usually did but no greek warrior batted an eye at it. At once they all spoke "Let the warriors of Brianian rest and allow them a new live. For they shall be granted to the allspark and travel with the gracious of Unicron. They will receive the chance to live again as the warriors of Unicron. Across the stars we shall be heard of and across the stars we shall be feared for we are the warriors of Unicron and we show no mercy to our enemies."
During the chant ( Brianian's tent)
As Bellona slipped into the tent she felt a large blade held against her neck and a arm wrap around her. Brianian's smooth voice spoke from right behind her "Now now Bellona did you plan to take my prisoner?" She growled and went to slam her elbow into his solar plexus but she couldn't move and she voiced her concerns.. very loudly "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME AND MY DAUGHTER!?" Brianian winced at the screech in his ear but spoke calmly "I have done nothing to her or You. Well I guess I'm restraining you… but no matter. I won't touch your daughter who is my niece. She is in my tent because I don't trust the men with a beautiful women in their presence. Much less when she's a Roman. They are my family though so I will fight. She is here so that when the time comes she will hopefully speak up for me. Feel free to sit until I come back. After this battle she will be free. You will see." Then he turned around and left after Reyna walked into that part of the tent. A small bandage over her shoulder that had been cut during the battle.
Back with the troops
As they finished their chant they saw a glow of purple and lights slid from the ground floating up into the sky. The romans were so entranced by the show almost enough that they didn't notice the Greeks coming out of the small fortress. But when they did they started the charge and a storm unleashed above them. As rain and lightning tore across the battlefield . The Greeks slammed into the Roman lines Brianian first and he cleared a devastating path through the army to its leaders. As his bastard sword cut through another Romans armor spraying red across the blade and his armor he continued to advance. His hammer tore through the neck of a centurion with a sickening crack followed by a steel boot to the face of the Legionnaire behind him. He continued on his path reaching for the Roman leaders surrounded by eight centurions. As Brianian looked back he saw that the Romans had lost a fourth of their troops and ten of his own had fled. Then turning back to the legion leaders he engaged in combat but he didn't take lethal moves this time. As he continued to fight he drew his sword across a centurions thigh before bringing his hammer down on another centurions leg. Leaving the hammer there he pulled a knives from his side and launched it into another centurions leg before pulling a sword from nowhere with the same purple lines and putting it through another centurions leg and into the ground. Then he turned to the other centurions and said "Pick up your wounded. I am here to speak with the leaders because I have a proposition." As the centurion looked to the lead centurion and the general they saw Jason's head jerk to the side towards the injured. Brianian pulled his weapons before saying "Good. Now I need to act like we are in a fight. It will not cause suspicion as much." Sticking his weapons in the air he took the two blades head on and smiled before speaking "Okay the Greek gods have betrayed me and I plan to release this gateway soon. The gods of both our sides are watching this battle and when I make the statement all of Tartarus will break free. Anyway over my shoulder on the top of the hill to the right you will see a army. They are led by a warrior son of Zeus. Or Jupiter for you. He is a kind man that I know as Jason." He looked at Jason when he said this. "He won't back down but when the extra Roman army comes from the hill to your right he will start a retreat. Well when they attack they will take charge through my camp to kill Reyna. That won't happen. When I release this fort I am going to release her and guide her to Rome. I hope that I won't be struck down instantly." With that said the two Romans looked shocked before they were pushed back as Brianian looked around to his small group. Only five were left the others had retreated. He smirked before retreating back to them and battling before roaring out as lightning flashed and thunder roared.
Up in the hills the greek gods looked at Zeus while the Romans looked at Jupiter
Then he spoke "Retreat! I will not lose my brothers and sisters today." Then he looked up at the army gathering before pulling out a blade that the gods had only seen once. It was a blade that had been given to him by a… they couldn't remember who or what gave it to him… but he called it Decimator and it was a xiphos that was extremely well balanced and had seen many battles. The scrape across its blade showed it. Then he roared out "The Greeks have betrayed me and my army. My brothers and sisters-" he looked at the army over the hill and at the gods "and have now sealed their fate. Thy Brianian Dark said that thy will only fight until given a reason not to. Is this a good enough reason? Betrayal, cowardice, and arrogance all severely terrible things that has been the fall of many great kings. Ouranos, Kronos, and now Zeus when it is his time. Jupiter will follow soon after because you have the same faults. But right now I Brianian Dark renounce my ties with Greece. I pledge to not be there until there is a reason. I will sit back and watch as Greece crumbles without me and then at the last second… I with swoop in and slaughter the last of them." Then he slammed Decimator into the ground and roared again "And I curse this blade to always follow camp half-blood until there is a hero worthy of my blade."
With that the Greece army charged down the hill while Brianian charged into the camp were his soldiers that had retracted had already treated the wounded and took them away. When he reached the burial ground he roared pulling a blade out again. This one he called the Defender and spoke "May this ground be sacred and protected. Never tainted by the foul stench of those unworthy and only let those pure of heart that wish to pay respect." When the large bastard blade slammed into the dirt a large barrier was erupted around the burial ground. Then he started to head towards his command tent while he pulled out Dark Knight his own bastard blade. Made to be the opposite of the Star Sabre and crafted by his own hand. Then he pulled out Hammer of Dawn his beloved hammer. A reminder of his siblings as he had each of their names on it and it just destroyed another warriors spine… lovely. Dark Night tore through another greek soldiers armor and splayed blood across the ground. After about fifteen more minutes of constant weaving and slashing while smashing people he finally made it to his tent and saw the door ripped open and heard people screaming… girls screaming 'Really wish I didn't put all those power seals on my tent now. Poor Bellona.' Then he crashed through the door taking the head of of the Greek that was about to rape Bellona. He looked at her and saw her clothes torn and her arm and leg at an odd angle. Then he saw Reyna and his blood boiled. She was in torn clothes with white liquid streaming from her nether regions. He slowly walked towards her as Bellona tried to stand but fell from the leg injury then squeaked out a "Stay away from her vile pig. 'Yep really pissed at myself because of that… I have royally fucked up and now I'll pay the price' as he finally reached Reyna's side he kneeled beside her and grabbed her hand.
Pulling it up to his spark he asked softly "Can thou hear me Reyna?" When she didn't speak back he gently touched the side of her face and she flinched away. "Please Reyna, show me something. I need to get you and your mother out of here" That shook her out of it and she asked "Brianian? What happened? I only remember a guy crashing through the tent floor and being thrown on the floor" Then she looked down and screamed loudly but Brianian covered the scream almost immediately and said "You were raped. I am sorry that I wasn't here to save you. THIS IS ALL MY FAULT! IF ONLY I WAS HERE INSTEAD OF ON THE BATTLEFIELD WITH FRANK AND JASON!" Then he almost instantly calmed at the fear in Reyna's eyes and said "Sorry… that shouldn't of happened." Then he took of his armor and handed it to Reyna and asked "Can you walk?" She just looked at him and he quickly turned around as she put the armor on and then she said "Yes I can walk. Now what about my mother." As soon as she said it she took a step and fell and would've been on her face had it not been for Brianian catching her. "No you can't. Well this will suck. Can I have my armor back. I will get you something else." He turned and looked around finding Reyna's armor in the corner. He turned and was caught of guard by Reyna standing there naked… again… before he turned around as a ahem shot through the room. Brianian turned wide eyed to Ballona. He scratched his neck sheepishly and said "Not what it looks like. Just giving her her armor. Besides she's my neice-"he mumbled under his breath as he quickly turned around only to knock Reyna of her feet and land on her naked body in a very intimate position. But he instantly shot up and dropped Reyna's armor on her chest before grabbing his own and slipping out the door while handing Bellona a spare thing of armor and helping her strap it on as she still had a broken leg and armor.
With Bellona and Brianian
"How the hell did you get my sister pregnant? I would of been fine if I knew you but I had no fucking idea who you were!" Bellona looked at him and quietly spoke "I changed my body to were I was a man. I snuck under your guard it was suppose to be an assassination on you but I started to fall for her and it just happened."
Then Reyna tried to walk out only to fall and have to be caught by Brianian. He picked her up and held her to his chest with his right arm while he held Bellona over his shoulder. Launching himself out of the tent he saw carnage all around him as bodies lay across the ground… some from him some from others. Then he took of at a dead sprint towards the Roman boundary cutting across the battle and seeing the two Jason's fighting. Looking up as the storm raged he heard a hunting horn and promptly ducked as a silver arrow shot over his head. He looked back and saw Artemis pull her bow back again eyes filled with regret and sadness but she had to do this. He saw this and gave a slight nod before sprinting towards the Roman lines weaving and ducking as several silver arrows flew past. He looked back again and saw the hunters giving chase and he sprinted all the faster. But it was extremely hard to outrun the hunt with two girls in full armor weighing you down. He took a smack to back from Bellona and she asked "Did you just call us fat?" He blanked his mind and ran harder trying to outpace the hunters but he knew it couldn't be done. So he turned and gently laid Reyna on the ground before setting Bellona on her lap. Then he turned and whistled and a large wolf appeared. It reached down and gapped Bellona's armor before gently setting her on her back. Then she did the same for Reyna. Brianian looked at her and smiled before shifting into a black and silver wolf before nuzzling up against her side. He growled out a 'Go my mate. I will by you time.' she looked at him and whimpered put a 'You better come back. I am not raising your child alone.' He looked at her and quickly nodded his head before freezing and looking at her then a silver arrow hit the ground before him and he looked at her still hidden from sight and moved his head towards Rome and the she-wolf disappeared with two passengers into the forest.
As the black and silver wolf shifted back he looked at Artemis and spoke "Do you truly believe I will come peacefully?" Artemis looked at him and said "No I do not-" the hunters all stepped out bows drawn but pointed down "And I don't want to bring you in. Neither do the hunters. So run boy and please be careful." Brianian looked at her and smiled before smiling at the hunt. They all looked at him and he nodded while saying "I will be back… when I am betrayed again I will come back. It is only a matter of time." With that he tore of into the undergrowth in the form of a wolve seeking Rome.
Rome( five months later)
Brianian stood before the council as lightning flashed over Olympus "I Brianian Dark pledge myself to the defence of Rome until the end of my days or until I am betrayed. May all those that stand in my way be warned for you cannot mess with a storm and leave uncathed."
Sorry for the long update but this was a chapter that I had to take my time on because it was going to be a centerpiece for the story. kind of a background but anyway I believe i newd to explain myself like weapons and armor and other stuff.
Brianian hold 14 weapons. 1 from each of his sisters and his two. that doesnt count cybertronian form weapons. this includes like pathblasters nucleon charge rifles stuff like thag that i will geg into in later chapters. anyway these are the main weapons he uses.
The dark knight a bastard sword of 5 ft in length with purple lines across it. this is his main weapon alongside the hammer of dawn.
The hammer of dawn is his other primary weapon also acts like a forge but much less powerful than The forge of Solus Prime.
then we have Seculina A blade from his sister Uni and one of his last remnants of her. she never told anyone whh she chose the name but they all believe its because of a little titan they met during the primordial days that was killed.
then we have the Time of grace. A war axe that Brianians sister Octavia used. as we learned she was a very hardheaded and ruthless fighter
then we have Hurricane This was scythia's primary weapon. we didnt see much of these weapons because the heavy injuries that all of these girls took.
then the twin splitters. these were Big Blast's blades. two twin blades that she would use against Nexus so that she could split him up and then fightthe rest of these weapons i planned to go over bug i think this is good for right now.
