Hello there Mechs and Femmes and welcome back to Transformers Prime: Gate Crasher!

Now I do apologise for not getting this out earlier but the Website wouldn't let me get to my profile for so e weird fucking reason...but regardless I still managed to deliver. Now we are nearing the end of Season 2 so when that does happen I'll take a break to update other stories in the meantime and when I do get back to this story I'll need to Watch Season 3 again since it was on at random times when it was aired in TV.

Now Back to our regularly...or somewhat regularly scheduled fanfiction!

Now let's Roll Out!


Alpha Omega

We stood there just contemplating Dad's words until he felt weak and kneeled lowering the Star Saber as well, causing Ratchet and Mum to rush to his side.

"Optimus". Mum gasped as she and Ratchet helped him up.

"You ok Dad?" I asked him.

"I am alright, Cronus". He assured before looking at me. "Given your foreknowledge here, you have and understanding as to what I know". He said to me.

"Yea, gotta find them before the cons do". I answered.

"Find what? Mind filling the rest of us bots in?" Bulkhead said aloud.

"It is paramount we find the final four Iacon relics. The Omega Keys". Dad answered.

"Keys?" Arcee asked still sitting on my shoulder.

"To What?" Ratchet added.

"To the regeneration of Cybertron". Dad answered once more. As soon as he said that, I couldn't help but feel a ping in my heart/spark. Knowing that we're almost through the second season…and I'm running out of plays to pull.


Several hours have passed and every almost every Cybertronian on base was excited about going home that they couldn't contain it. It was good news for all…well mostly. With all the excitement for the bots I didn't want to kill the mood and left them inside while I was on top of the base sitting against the tower overlooking Jasper Nevada again but this time I could see the destroyed future flickering like a lightbulb once again but it was more prominent than before.

Once the war is over the Cybertronians will go home and the kids will grow up without them.

But where does that leave me?

Earth has always was my home and will continue to be my home. But my Family here is from a planet lightyears away, and right now I'm torn between two places. I looked at my hands and saw that they were very different from each other for a while now. One in Cybertronian steel and Energon…and the other in organic human flesh and bone.

What do I do?

"It wouldn't be right to deny them their home world after everything they have been through. They deserve to have it back after the war". I muttered to myself.

"Connor?" I heard the voice to my left and saw it was Arcee herself walking up to me.

"Hey love". I greeted with a small fake smile…however Arcee saw right through it and leaned against me in my arms.

"It's about me leaving for Cybertron isn't it?" She pointed out to me as I sighed in defeat showing that she was on the money. "Tell me, what's wrong? Because I get the feeling it's not just that".

"Cee, I'm a man out of this universe…literally. I can't decide to either stay here or go with you to Cybertron…I'm just torn at the moment and with the events getting closer to an end…I just don't know what to do". I answered truthfully looking down as I spoke to her.

"Connor". She said but I didn't meet her eyes. "Sweetie please look at me". She said and my brown eyes met her blue ones as she put a hand on my face and I gently moved into it. "I won't pressure you into making your choice, whatever you do choose…know that your spark, and mine will always be joined as if they were one". She said as her head laid in against my chest. "There's also one other thing that I need to tell you about". She said as that seemed to get my attention.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Well the thing is-," "Arcee is Connor there with you?" The voice of Ratchet came through on the com channel interrupting her. Arcee mentally cursed before answering. "I'm here Ratchet".

"Jetfire and I are ready to proceed however we need you and Connor to be here for this to work". The Doctor instructed.

"On our way". She answered before cutting the link and turning to me.

"Was that about the Reformatting module?" I asked her and she nodded. She and I got up and made our way back to the elevator. "What was that thing you were going to tell me about?" I asked her.

"It can wait. Don't worry about it". She said casually which made my brow raise a bit. But I let it slide as it was best to let her go at her pace. As we reached the main hub of the base both Autobot scientists were readying the device.

"Ah there you two are, now for this to work, Connor change to bot mode and stand right here". Jetfire instructed as I do so and Arcee stood at the opposite end.

"Alright, cross your fingers, toes and your nuts this works everyone". I said aloud as Ratchet activated the machine and my vision was white like last time but as the light faded I was still my bot self. Arcee however had changed back into her old self again. She inspected herself and a second later she leapt over the device and hugged me tightly and I gladly returned it and it made me happy seeing her this happy.

"I'm back to my old self!" She said happily as I gently set her down on her pedes.

"As much as loved seeing you my human height. It's glad to have the old you back Blue". I smiled being genuinely glad to have her two wheeler form back.


Arcee wasted no time in hitting the road when she was back to her old self again, and I honestly couldn't blame her. However Ratchet stated she couldn't go into the field just yet until he made sure everything was all good internally…come to think of it Ratchet and Arcee have been keeping something from me, when I asked Red Alert about it he said he honestly didn't know and he's not one to lie about stuff like this.

Guess I'll find out eventually when they're ready to tell me.

But right now, Dad called everyone who wasn't outside the base to the main hub and it looks like he found the location of the first Omega Key.

"Autobots, I have decoded the first set of the final four coordinates!" Dad Proclaimed.

"I'm on team 1, who's with me?" Smokescreen decided and followed up with a question.

"I'll go as well, I'll be taking Arcee's place since she's out for the moment". I stated.

"Got enough room two more Cronus? Grimm and I have been waiting for a chance to snag another relic". Trailbreaker spoke up with Grimlock following suit.

"Feel free to do so you guys". I replied.

"Lead the way sir". Smokescreen said nervously but I merely rolled my optics as the ground bridge was activated allowing us to walk through it. As we reached the other side we were met with the sandy night of the Egyptian desert. "First ones here".

"What we're looking for is in the ruins, so we'll need to go inside to find it". I said to the group as I lead the way towards the entrance Smokescreen was able to move through, however Trailbreaker and Grimlock… not so much. "You guys stay here and make sure nothing gets in. Hate to do this to ya but the entrance is too small for you two.

"What about you?" Trailbreaker asked me. I looked at Smokescreen and scanned his body and began shifting my body to an exactly match his sized and build while keeping my prime features. "Alright never mind then. Hope you not afraid of the dark". The Black coloured Autobot smiled.

"Very funny". I replied as Smokescreen and I went inside with the headlights on our chests lighting the way. The trek was quiet but Smokescreen broke it.

"Look, Connor…I owe you and Arcee an apology. I never meant to endanger Jack. Humans squish easily I get that now!" He apologised. I merely sighed in response but kept going through the tunnel.

"This isn't about Jack mate. Team Prime can't afford any casualties. Cliffjumper would've been one of them if I didn't appear in this universe and I've been at death's door more times than I can count". I stated before turning to him. "Look I will admit I'm a little pissed at what you did, but I'm just severely disappointed in you Smokescreen. Take that experience as a learning lesson…and do your best to make sure it never happens…ever again". I said calmly but fairly as I then turned around and lead the way again.

"I'll make sure of it, Elite Guardsman's honor. I promise". He said.

"I'll hold ya to it". I replied.

We kept going through the tunnel we came across some hieroglyphics which pretty much told us what we needed to know.

"Pretty much spells things out doesn't it?" Smokescreen said and I nodded in response.

"Help me with this". I said and the Elite Guard did so as we removed a block of clay from the structure revealing the cavern on the other side of the wall, and with it reveal one of four Omega keys.

"Ancient Humans must've thought the Omega key was a gift from the gods". Smokescreen guessed.

"Well they were right in a sense, but it wasn't from their gods". I said as I picked up the Omega key and we then made our way out of the tunnel and I shifted my body back to normal as we reunited with Grimlock and Trailbreaker. "One down, three to go let's head on out of…" I trailed off as we all saw Megatron walk up to us with the Dark Star Saber on his back and…the hand of a Prime.

"The relic…Now". Megatron said impatiently.

"Four against one we can take him". Smokescreen said confidently. But Megatron unsheathed his dark weapon and unleashed a wave of Dark Energon our way.

"Trailbreaker! Shield! NOW!" I barked and the specialist didn't hesitate to bring up a force field to stop the blast. However it only stopped it for a second or two before it knocked the four of us back into the sand. I stood up on one knee and looked to see Trailbreaker lying on the ground groaning but was most definatly alive, Grimlock stood back up but fell to his knees after taking a single step, feeling the effects of Dark Energon sapping his strength which shocked me. Smokescreen however didn't give up and charged at Megatron while shooting him at the same time.

Megatron wasn't fazed by this and swung his sword a second time which knocked the Elite Guard off his pedes and into the wall behind him and said wall exploded when the dark wave made contact.

"SMOKESCREEN!" I cried with my optics wide open. I knew he'd be alright if he took the Phase shifter from the vault again but it was just terrifying seeing the Star Saber's dark counterpart before me. I then managed to stand on my own two pedes and glare at Megatron. "When I thought you couldn't sink any lower Megatron, you somehow manage to surprise me".

"Well I certainly aim to please". He said without care as he picked up the Omega Key. "What manner of treasure did Iacon send us this time?" He asked aloud. The fact he was just standing there like nothing ever happened got under my skin. "Tell your father that if he wants this relic, he'll have to get it himself".

[Now Playing-Megatron's Theme-Transformers Devastation OST]

"Here's my counter offer". I said as I constructed a Fusion cannon on my right arm which was reminiscent of Megatron's WFC Siege Incarnation, and an Ion Blaster from the Classic G1 in my left hand. "Get FUCKED!" I roared as I fired both weapons into the Decepticon Leader. In return Megatron swung the Dark Star Saber and sending another wave of dark energy at me but this time I was ready for it, I raced towards the wave and jumped off a ruined stone wall and leapt over the wave while continuously firing my Ion Blaster at him.

The shots did some damage, but considering Megatron's Build it only staggered him for a second or so, I then fired my Fusion cannon at his feet causing smoke and sand to obscure his vision. I deconstructed my weapons and threw a punch towards his faceplate which took him by surprise, then followed up with a punch the gut then several more. Megatron threw a punch of his own but I was quicker on the draw and ducked under it before slashing his side with a Battle blade and going in for a second strike.

However I was struck by the hilt of the dark blade which was aimed at my chest knocking the wind out of me, he then slashed my chest with the Dark Star Saber before kicking me where I got struck by his blade, which was enough to stop my assault.

[End Track]

I was now lying on the ground right in front of the Kaon gladiator, he walked up and stepped on my chest where the wound was still fresh making me cry out in pain.

"You're quite resilient, aren't you Cronus?" Megatron smirked. My response was aiming my fusion cannon at him but he stabbed the tip of the blade into the palm of my hand and pinning it to the ground making me miss him. "I'll say it one more time for your sake". His smirk lowering with his red optics glaring into my brown ones. "If your father wants the relic, he'll have to get it himself".

"What? You'll just stab me and the others when our backs are turned once we try to leave? What's stopping you from offing me right here and now huh?!" I barked back at him.

"Killing you would bring great pain to my brother I will admit". He answered before pulling his blade out of my hand and stepping away from me. "But I wish to kill Optimus with my own two hands first". He finished. I then heard the sound of footsteps and looked up to see Grimlock and Trailbreaker making their way here. "Take your comrade back with you Autobots…he has a message for your, esteemed leader". Megatron said as the two of them helped me up with a Ground Bridge opening up a second later.

"I'll be waiting". He said as he threw the Omega Key to the ground, digging itself into the sand.

"This isn't over Megatron". I grunted as the three of us began walking through the green portal.


Once we had returned to the base Ratchet and Red Alert came to our aid to tend to our injuries. I then told everyone what had happened when we found the relic, not leaving out a single detail.

"Even with my foreknowledge it still somehow surprises me that Megatron would stoop so low". I finished before looking at my parents. "Sorry I didn't get relic…and got out when I did".

"You need not blame yourself Connor, If Megatron wants me to face him…then I will grant his request". Dad stated as he placed the Star Saber on his back.

"Dad Megatron forged the Dark Star Saber with Solus's Forge, which he managed to use from the hand of a Prime. If memory serves right, the Star Saber won't last long without an upgrade of its own". I pointed out as I then turned to my right to see Hound walk back inside the main hub.

"You're right Kid, I checked the vault and the Phase Shifter is gone". He stated aloud which made me smile.

"Smokescreen you sneaky son of a bitch".

"Wait if the Phase shifter is gone…" Trailbreaker started.

"Meaning Smokescreen's alright". Firestar finished. I then turned to my Dad.

"Smokescreen's still out there, just keep Megatron busy while he snatches the Key". I said to him and he nodded in response as the ground bridge spun up and he walked through it. When the portal died down I spoke up getting all the bot's attention.

"We need to consider evacuation plans". I stated.

"Evacuation? What are you talking about Connor?" Ratchet asked me.

"This Base isn't going to last…once the base is discovered, which it will be…we need to have a plan when this place becomes nothing but rubble". I answered which got the bots on edge. "Look, I don't mean to scare you guys…but we should start planning for when that comes around, last thing I want to lose is another family. We'll split the team up into several groups, which should increase our chances of survival". I stated.

"Ratchet! Ground Bridge! NOW!" We heard Dad bark over the line and Ratchet never wasted a second rushing the Ground Bridge controls. The green Vortex then appeared as both Dad AND Smokescreen emerged from it. Didn't need to know what happened on the other side from the sheer relief they were feeling.

"Couldn't live without the little gadget attached to ya huh Smokescreen?" I commented as he chuckled in response before pulling out the first Omega key.

"Omega Key number 1". He stated with a smile on his faceplate. "And it was a good thing I did take the Phase shifter though, that blast hit me like a wrecking ball. The Impact must've activated it. Don't know how long I was unconscious for, but when I came outside Optimus and Megatron were duking it out. I waited for the right moment to make my move".

"You're learning". Arcee said with a smile on her face.

"So, can I keep it? It's really working out for me". The rookie asked Ratchet.

"Yes, yes". Who just sighed in defeat, knowing it was best to save any future trouble.

"You may have gotten your own weapon Smoke…Optimus just lost his". Bulkhead pointed out as I then looked at the Star Saber which was nothing more than a broken sword, the aftermath of the Dark Star Saber's power.

'Megatron may not know it…but his time is nearing its end. And I plan to make sure it stays that way'. I thought to myself as I still gazed at the broken blade of the Primes.


1 key down, 3 to go. The race for the keys will be more vigorous than the one of the relics with the added bots and cons to the story, Now with the last of the vaulted chapters finished I will work on the next one that is in progress and I will release it when the times comes. Now I will admit knowing that the end of this story is still quite a ways away...but it's relatively in sight. Just boggles my mind a little.

Anyway I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and be sure to leave me your thoughts and opinions in the review section, a bit of feedback can go a long way. So until then, I'll see ya next time!

Cronus Prime Out!
