Hiya everyone, thanks for reading and more importantly, thanks to those who review!
I do not own nor do I claim to own any aspect of the TRANSFORMERS series, only with the exception of original Characters and Designs for Fan-Fiction and Fan-Art uses.

It took three days for the Autobots to be restored to full capacity. It was on the fourth day that a large-scale meeting was held. Live video feeds were connected to Moon Bases one and two.
No one had any idea what was to come.
Optimus Prime finally entered the quiet room. The Autobots were talking softly and were immediately silenced. Tired and worn out, he took the floor.
"Our worst fears have finally been realised. Terminus has betrayed us once again along with causing chaos. As already known, The space bridges were just decoys to separate the autobots. The information gathered that the Decepticons upgraded was correct though. Although no harm came to Earth, we lost a great comrade to a larger more complex plot of evil..."
Spike then put forth his own information. "From the tracer Sarena placed in herself lead our tracker to the old Iacon City. After entering the city, the trail went dead cold"
Optimus Prime took the floor again. "I have been planing for a portion of the Autobots, along with myself, to return to Moon Base one and two to further advance our attack against the Decepticons. But, with the current disaster I-"
Ratchet stepped in, "Prime, you're not thinking of delaying the relocation are you?"
The Autobots got a little fired up. For one, most of them had a personal grudge against Terminus in the first place. The next two reasons were to help save Sarena and to see Cybertron again... Even robots get home sick.
"No, I was planning on stepping my plans way ahead of schedule. I want the Decepticons to know that they can't get away with this!"
With his strong words, the Autobots were pumped and ready to set off. The list was made up and the Autobots prepared. Optimus Prime called Ultra Magnus aside later that week right before he was to set off to the Moon Base One.
"Prime, you wanted to talk to me?" Ultra Magnus was worried about Prime's mental state, the pressure of losing a great comrade was just as bad as the return of Terminus.
"Yes, I'm leaving you in charge of Autobot City. You've been a long friend of mine and I can rely on you."
"I will do my best"
They paused and gazed onto the setting sun.
"Prime..."
"Yes?"
"Is he, really to be executed?"
"I'm afraid Magnus, we have no choice. He has cost me greatly in the past, and now, he's almost done as much as he has in the past. He was to be the next Prime when he was an Autobot. But, the first betrayal isn't as hard as now"
"I understand Prime, he worked harder than any other Autobot I had ever seen. You also put all your hard work into designing him and bringing him to life. And then he betrays you so much."
"Almost as bad as giving Sarena to the Decepticons"
"Prime... I've been meaning to ask, is there something about Sarena that we don't know?"
"... Yes, enough to bring the Autobots down. I think, I should let you know before I leave"
"...Prime..."
"Take this Key card to Poseidon, he'll direct you to something I need you to safe guard. I feel, there is a possibility I might not make it long enough to finish"
"I will do what needs to be done Prime"
"...Thank you, Ultra Magnus. I hope to see you in the immediate future"
The way to Moon Base One was a long, cold and emotional trip. First his son, then Sarena. How many more would get caught up it this turmoil? How much longer till his project was complete and Sarena could be at ease and permanently away from this war?

And this is about where the first (the animated) movie picks up... I think the next Chapter will be of the Decepticons... then I think I will MAYBE do a flash back thingy... maybe...
