Chapter 14

As the two leaders talk business, the rest of the crew uses the time to explore the facility.

Renton, Eureka, and the kids go with Bumblebee as he gives a tour.

Jobs and Woz follow their hero, Wrench, as he shows his recent inventions.

Ken-Goh and Ironhide make a manly bond once they realized they both liked giant ass cannons and both went together to check out the weapons the facility's security provided.

Hap and Stoner struggle with security. "You can't cover the truth! Nothing can be secret!" yells Stoner. One of the guards reply. "Sorry, sir. For the protection of everyone here, I can't allow our presence here to be known."

Mischa and Ratchet exchange stories of their medical experience.

Matthieu was bored and annoyed.

"Alright, that's it! I'm going back to the Gekko to listen to some tunes, maybe even drink so tea with Gonzy. Anything's better than here." "Wait up!" Mathieu turns to see Moondoggie.

"Doggie? What's up? Where's Gidget?"

Moondoggie sighs.

"Gidget's with Hilda and Talhou. That Wrench dude says that this private whatever was built as a small town for protection, so they went shopping."

Mathieu eyes widened.

"Really?!"

Matthieu starts march back in the facility.

"Wha-What are you doing?"

Matthieu brings a smile. "If this place is a small town, then there gotta be a place to get so music! New records, here I come!"

Matthieu disappears deep in to interior, leaving Moondoggie by himself.

He turns to see Gonzy, patting a spot next to him, gesturing to join him. Moondoggie, with nothing to lose, joins him.

Sideswipe finds Jolt and some scientist fiddling with a satellite.

"Ah Jolt! Don't tell me you're trying to-"

Jolt interrupts.

"Don't even try, Sideswipe. I know there's more of us out there. We need to reinforcements. Maybe not for this particular mission, but some point, we are going to be in a jam and we'll need some help."

Sideswipe shakes his head.

"Jolt, we haven't seen any other Autobots for hundreds of years. Cybertron's dead. We were only there to get the supplies. the rest of the team obviously disbanded to other planets far away."

He realizes Jolt ignored him half way in. A scientist gives Jolt results.

"We have the wide frequency you need for the signal."

Jolt acknowledges. "Perfect! See ,Sideswipe! The reason we failed all those times before was because we didn't have the right smarts. With the human's help, I know that we WILL make contact."

Jolt then connects his wires to the satellite.

"...aaand done. If anyone here's they'll be coming here. Now the only thing to do is cross our fingers."

The Decepticon fleet flies with grace, only thousand miles away from our heroes.

Megatron watches in the control bay as his army gets closer to his prize. He growls in anticipation.

He turns to his master's corpse, laying in his throne, with his face still missing.

"Soon, my Master. My army will devastate our enemies and retrieve what is rightfully ours. We defeated Optimus once before, there should be no reason to do it again."

Starscream intrudes.

"Master, the Autobots have grown steady and Long Haul's squad is ready."

The commander clenches his fist.

"Join the first wave and start the attack."

Starscream nods and flies off.

Megatron looks at a monitor as Starscream leads a piece of the Decepticon fleet that breaks formation to do as ordered.

"And so it begins."

Author's notes:

Hello Everyone! Hope you guys are enjoying this story as much as I am. Just here to answer so questions, that's all.

Alice?

To be plain and simple, No. The idea of a pretender sounds perfect but there's just no place in the story for anything along the lines of a pretender. Maybe a squeal? AO+ TF4 anyone?

Dinobots?

I'm not even going to try to give justice to some of the best transformers characters in the lore. not to mention that the Dinobots are to appear in TF4 later next year, so unless I was to predict exactly how they are to be represented, I'm not even going try.

Wreckers?

Possibly

Ravage, Frenzy, and Lazorbeak?

I'm trying to make this story accurate with both time lines (How am i going to make this work with the E7 world? You'll see ;) ) and remeber that all three are dead at this point. ( and don't try to excuse Ravage with the IDW movie comics, I'm 99.9% sure that those aren't offical canon).

Alright, that's it for now! Keep up the replies!

Next stop: Eureka's TRUE origins!
