IMPORTANT STORY NOTICE:

This chapter takes place of the day Riya entered the Autobot world and the day after. This is what the Decepticons were doing.

Note: Sorry this took so long, and was quite short, I thought it said what had to be said and that the end of their plans was the best place to stop.


Cybertron.

~~~*~~~

Riya drove down the city streets, trying to get home, there was little to no traffic, which was confusing, there was always a large amount in such a busy city.

She didn't think much of it after that quick thought, until it started raining, which made it harder to see through the helmet.

"Dammit! Just what I needed..." She sped down the road, almost home.

Thunder and lightning struck loud and fast.
Brightly, blinding her yet she sped on.

Again, thunder cracked in the sky, lightning blinded her.
It repeated this process again and again and again.

Finally one large crack of lightning hit right in front of her, scared of what may happen on a gasoline filled motorcycle she slammed on the brakes trying to turn away.

Just as she did it turned day time, there was no sign of the rain but instead of the pillar of lightning was large metal reckage that she slammed on the brakes again, but hit it anyways and flipped over it, landing and rolling harshly on the other side.

She slowly tried to get up, but fell into darkness.

The next day, Cybertron...

Shockwave was standing at the mainframe, the center of the Decepticon base.

Starscream had just delivered the news of Megatrons death, all Decepticons were displeased with his cowardice but were not with the others.

During this time, Soundwave would take control, until an imposing Cybertronian like Megatron would appear, of which Starscream was not.
All the other Decepticons agreed with this arrangement and stayed satisfied as the day went on, they all expected sooner or later that Megatron would die, everybody dies eventually especially when you're in their war, in his position.

Although Shockwave was expecting the planet to remain silent since the Autobots are probably attempting their peace morals with the humans.

Just as he checked over the systems that Soundwave had hacked on Earth.

Shockwave shot to the mainframe, checking over the systems making sure the reading was correct.

"Soundwave! Starscream!" He called out over to the far side of the room where both Soundwave and Starscream conducted their business.

"What is it Shockwave?" Starscream asked as they both approached.

Shockwave pointed to the screen and Starscream replied in a stunned stare. "What is that?" He asked, shocked.
"It's the Allspark's energy." Shockwave answered.
"But how? It was destroyed along with Megatron on Earth, how can it's energy be on Earth now?"
Shockwave silently observed the recording while the two conversed.

It showed the recording of the Mission City battle, it showed the finishing of the Autobot and Decepticon battle, the death of Megatron and most importantly the sphere.

The Decepticons in Mission City managed to spot this bright, blinding flash, shaped light a sphere, of which a human two wheel vehicle came out of, immediately crashing into the rubble and debre of the battle.
Two humans ran to her aid, but the recording was stopped and rewinded, paused at the scene of the sphere.

"That is where the energy is emitting from." Shockwave pointed to the sphere.

"What is it?" Starscream tried to make the shape out, hopefully to be able to figure it out. "I found this. A sphere in the same form which allowed two humans to travel through and an Autobot through to the other side." Shockwave pulled up another sighting of the sphere, it was taken over twenty years ago.

"That didn't answer my question, what is it?" Shockwave opened the sphere sightings against each other.

"Portals." He stated simply, both Soundwave and Starscream were being lured in deeper into this mystery.

Soundwave's head tilted. "Portals to where?"
"Unknown. There is never more then one opened at a time. Once a portal appears, another one appears again in half an Earth year, they work on the humans time." He explained more to Soundwave then to Starscream.

"What happens when these portals open?"

"The Allspark's power is recreated for two Earth hours, of what happens on the other side, we have no way to tell. They could just teleport who ever enters the portal, travel time, or lead possibly into another world." Shockwave brought up subjects of the portal.

Humans and Cybertronians alike were subjects to the randomizing portals.

The only difference between the Cybertronians and the humans, was that the Cybertronians returned damaged, confused and no longer acted normal.
All Cybertronians were taken away or died shortly after, human subjects on the other hand returned unscathed. Their mental state didn't change, however their lives did, they became successful in their lives and eventually came in contact with a Cybertronian.

All this information confused the three Decepticons reading the information.

"So these portals harm us, but not humans. What about the human subject that was transferred from the recordings?" Starscream asked, looking at the human who apparently doesn't exist within the humans computers.

"This seems to be the first time that a human has came through the beginning of the portal pattern, there will be another in the same place within six Earth months." Shockwave brought back up the human that was transferred through the portal.
"On the other side, what is the possibility of another world?"

"High." Shockwave calculated. "Higher then the other possibilities." He saw the percentage in his head.

"Can we get to the other side when the portal returns?" Soundwave asked. "We can."

"If this portal emit's the Allsparks power in another form... Wouldn't that mean the other side would be formed by the Allspark?" Starscream asked, trying to make sense of it all.

"Correct. What is on the other side of that portal will more then likely contain a new form of the Allsparks power, if not the same."

"When will it be exactly?"

"As stated, six Earth months, on the Earth date of July 4th." Shockwave concluded.

"Should we pursue this further, could it be false? A dead end?" Starscream's thoughts projected upon the chances of the Allspark's power returning and what that could mean for the Decepticons and Cybertron.

More precisely, what would that do concerning Megatron's death? The Allspark can revive Cybertronian sparks, save lives and create them.

"We should. If these portals can recreate the Allspark's power, there may be a possibility to harness it. We can use that energy to bring Megatron back and finish what we started. It would be as if the battle on Earth never happened." Shockwave was pleased to find this discovery.

"How can we harness it?" Starscream asked the two, who looked to each other then the mainframe.

"The human." Shockwave hinted to the human that traveled through the portal. "The Allspark's energy is within her. She's the Allspark's host, if we capture her, bring her here we maybe able to find a way to harness the power within her."

Soundwave studied the appearance of the human female, she only but a human sparkling, no where near the age of maturity.

What was she doing with such a grand power?

Starscream sighed aggravated. "Then let's go and get her. The faster we do this, the better." He said, turning away.

"Not quite Starscream." Shockwave pulled up the latest image of the human sparkling. "See?"

It was Optimus Prime with the sparkling inside, it appeared as if they were heading in no real direction, however they were lost in a conversation. That much was obvious.

"When was this?" Starscream cried. "Now. We have her under surveillance, I ordered a full time watch. I was suspicious of this humans nature, her intentions. It seems as if she's already sided and with the Autobot's defending her, it makes capturing her all that more difficult. It will take some time and planning." Shockwave replied sternly to Starscream, both of them began a glaring war.

"Then let's begin planning." Soundwave interrupted.

--------

Optimus sighed. "It's very strange to hear it that way, Riya. I hope you can understand my feelings on this matter."
"I understand fine Prime! I know it because it's strange to me, even freaky to me that I am, in fact, sitting inside of the Optimus Prime. The childhood dream of a warrior who defended all that was good." She laughed. "Sometimes, even heroes are confused and this is one of those times, right?"
"Yes it is."

Optimus drove back to the base, where Ratchet seemed uninterested, Ironhide was preoccupied, and Bumblebee wasn't even there...

"So, friends now, right?" Riya asked. "If that's fine with you, Riya." He smiled.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." She said after watching Optimus transform back.

"But no matter what happens, that's still kick ass." She laughed and ran off inside.

--------

The Decepticons gathered, Shockwave began explaining the situation, the chance they had to revive Megatron and harness the Allspark's energy once more.

They were getting a second chance and they weren't about to loose it.

Barricade, Blackout and Starscream would remain as a back up in case a battle broke out.
Ravage would do recon for now, he'd watch the human sparkling until he found an opportune moment to execute their plans.

However, Shockwave and Soundwave would remain as a relay on Cybertron, emiting the neccessary information between the groups gathered.

Other less important positions of Decepticons consisted of laying back and joining in if a battle lashes out and it becomes too much for the basic three.

All agreed on a plan of stealth and if necessary; another all out battle.

It wouldn't take much to steal a human sparkling from the Autobots, they are massive compared to them and humans tend to love their indiependence, the human would stray from the Autobot's sooner or later.

"We have preparations. We need to find a way to lure her away from or tire her of the Autobots." The three would think further on the matter while they traveled to Earth and while they sought after the human.


Ooo! Host of the Allspark's power?
I'm quite proud of this chapter actually.

Please, review, it saves lives.
