Chapter 45-Reunited
"I spy with my little eye, something…green."
"Annie, don't even try." Grindor groaned. "It's too early in the morning for stupid games."
"I second that." Brittany yawned.
"Fine, fine." Annie grumbled. "Let me know if you guys have a PlayStation to use out in the middle of nowhere."
The group was now travelling through the state of Tennessee and right now everybody was starting to wither away from the sheer level of boredom that was assaulting them right now. The fact that Annie resorted to playing I Spy shows just how far they've fallen.
"Annie, maybe we can just enjoy the scenery before someone pops up and screws us?" Armorhide said.
"Enjoy the scenery? I know you didn't just say that." Annie huffed. "What is there to enjoy except open fields and a freaking airship in the distance—hold up."
Annie slowed her talos down and magnified her camera vision. Sure enough, she saw a Karaba military airship, one more advanced than anything Osea could dish out, approaching from the north.
"Shit, we've got an airship incoming!"
"Scrap. You think they saw us?" Bulkhead asked.
"Considering they're heading right for us, yeah I think so." Annie said. "Bulk, get Brit and Grindor out of here. I got this."
She raised Mjolnir and the hammer began to discharge electrical energy. She waited for the airship to get closer when she heard a void in her head.
"Annie, don't shoot! It's us!"
Annie blinked and lowered her hammer. "Barnaby?"

Megatron stood under the hot sun amidst a city in ruins in the country of Ursali. He just got done decimating the local military forces with depressing ease. It was easier to torch this city than it was New York, and it only worsened Megatron's mood.
'I should have left this task to Dreadwing.' Megatron thought bitterly.
In truth, this battle was only part of the reason Megatron was I such a foul mood. His mind kept flashing back to his talk with Starscream back in New York a few days ago.
"Where to now?"
Megatron gave an annoyed sigh. "Starscream, you are trying my patience. Are you a Seeker or are you—"
"Did you enjoy the parade?" Starscream asked. "I know I did."
"Parade?"
"Our grand much of destruction through this city. That wonderful shock and awe tactic…your beautiful speeches." He smirked. "Megatron: World Conqueror. Warrior King. Poet."
The sound of fighter jets brought Megatron from his reverie. He scowled and increased his fusion cannon's power output and fired it at the squadron, wiping out half of the jets in the first shot.
"Where to now? We've won. We've succeeded in doing the impossible…or what seemed to be. You've proven your point. We win, they lose. Your philosophy—"
"Again, Starscream?" Megatron growled.
"The might should rule. The strong should conquer—"
"Enough!" He roared.
Starscream looked at him with the same amount of frustration he was feeling at the moment. "We've victorious in our war. Years, countless years of fighting…over. And all for what? To kill more humans? Destroy more cities? Do what we've been doing for almost two years on this god forsaken dirtball?" He sneered. "Where to now?"
"Countless years. You're right. An entire cybertronian generation spent struggling for dominance, to assert our place at the top of the cosmic pyramid. So many of our brothers and sisters dead." Megatron said, his expression unreadable. "We've finally managed to achieve victory in the war. The time to savor is upon us."
"Savor?"
"You are a warrior, Starscream. Take the time to enjoy your dues. Enjoy the moment."
"Enjoy the moment? This is our reward?" Starscream scoffed and looked around at the empty street they stood in. "If that's what this is, then I am a fool. Because this, all of this, looks like a distraction."

Seeing the Neo Knights again after everything that's happened was a light in the dark for Annie. She came very close to crying when she hugged Kotetsu and Karina, and Nathan and Hua. But not Barnaby. He wasn't a hugger.
"It's so good to see you all again!" Annie said happily.
"How did you find us?" Brittany asked.
"Sumeragi located you using Veda. She got worried when you and Brittany didn't come home when the Decepticons started attacking New York." Hua said.
"I'm sorry for not finding you sooner, Annie.'" Said Sumeragi via telepathy. Her voice was very faint, just barely audible. "After seeing the news about the Autobots, I feared the worst."
"She couldn't sit still until she made sure you were alive." Barnaby said and looked up at Bulkhead and Armorhide. "Got to say, after seeing Megatron's victory speech, it's good to see an Autobot alive and kicking."
"Same here." Bulkhead grinned. "But our team, or what's left of it, is scattered across the country and we can't communicate with giving our positions away."
"Good thing we commandeered this new airship that was patrolling the area." Karina looked up at the airship. "It should be enough to get you all back to the Institute."
"Wait, how did you find us?" Armorhide asked, a bit confused about these new humans that Annie apparently knows. "Our signals were cloaked."
"They have this secret device that can find any esper in the world…" Annie trailed off as an idea popped into her head. "That's it!"
"What's it?" Grindor asked.
"Guys, you can help me find Darren!" She said.
"Darren?" Barnaby frowned. "Did something happen?"
"He was captured by the Cons after we tried to save the Minicons they took hostage. Everything went to shit after that." Annie looked at the Neo Knights. "Please, we have to rescue him."
"Annie, there's a good chance he's in a heavily guarded place." Barnaby said. "And that's if he's even—"
"I'm not leaving my brother to them any longer! I'm saving him no matter what and no one's going to stop me!" Annie shouted.
"Same here. We're not leaving Darren behind." Bulkhead said. "He deserves better."
Barnaby was about to protest, but Kotetsu grasped his shoulder and shook his head. "Come on, Barnaby. We do crazy stuff like this on a weekly basis. And we do owe her."
"Fine. Get the Bots into the airship." Barnaby sighed. "I'll call up Sumeragi and see what she can do on her end."
Annie lunged forward and wrapped her arms around his waist in a tight hug, muttering thank you over and over. Barnaby smiled and hugged her back.
"It's what we Knights do, Annie."

The only time Gina had seen Ultra Magnus was when he arrived to retrieve the cybertronian tech from Epsilon Holdings after the Headmaster war. Back then, she was more occupied with seeing to Darren, who was recovering from his brutal fight with Aries. Still, she could never forget how large and commanding he looked up close. She could see why so many Autobots acted stiff around him.
It was no different now. Ultra Magnus was about as tall as Optimus, not counting the shoulders. And he towered over Arcee and Moonracer. Gina was a bit used to being around tall mechs, but Sureshock felt rather dwarfed by Magnus's size.
'Primus, his shoulders really are large.' Sureshock thought. 'Bumblebee wasn't joking.'
"It's good to see you two are all right." Ultra Magnus said. "I feared the worst after I got word of what happened here."
"It's good to see you too, sir." Arcee said. "It's been…painful, but we've managed to evade Decepticon forces. However we're seriously outnumbered and outgunned. There's not much for us to do except regroup with the remainder of our team."
"Excuse me." Sara said, walking up to them. Ultra Magnus turned his gaze down onto her, but Sara was hardly intimidated by his steely gaze. "May I ask what you are doing here?"
"I came here on orders from Elita-1. I'm not sure if you know this, but things have escalated severely in space. The Decepticons have attacked all of our outposts across the galaxy in a massive assault, and they're winning. I was returning to Orbital Command when I got the command from Elita-1 to head to Terra." Ultra Magnus explained. "She thought that something had gone wrong on Terra, and it appears that she was right."
"Got it in one." Gina muttered.
"I couldn't locate the Ark. There were multiple Decepticon signals all over the continent, and what few Autobot signals I could locate were scattered." He continued. "Yours was the closest I could find."
"Were you able to ID the other signals?" Moonracer asked.
"I was able to locate Autobot Skyfire and Lifeline, as well as two Minicons, High Wire and Sparkplug."
"Sparkplug's alive?" Sureshock smiled and hugged Gina. "He's okay!"
"Thank god." Gina breathed.
Ultra Magnus studied their expressions and body language. He knew the signs of mental and emotional fatigue, and right now the girls before him looked like they were about to drop. Things had gone terribly wrong on this planet and he knew it had to be connected to the assault going on in space.
"Arcee, Moonracer…what happened here?" Ultra Magnus asked.
"It's a long story." Arcee sighed. "Actually, no. it's a very short story with an unhappy ending."

Kup and Jazz left Elita-1 alone with Optimus while they discussed their situation. They needed privacy and standing over Prime's body wasn't helping their mood.
"So that's why he thinks he's won. He's finally done it. He kills two Primes and on his third, only now he manages to take away the Matrix." Kup said. "The assault didn't start off immediately. It started in the outer territories and slowly moved inwards. He escalates these attacks across the galaxy, we're stretched thin as it is…he finds an insider."
"Someone willing to sell us out." Jazz said.
"Right. How that happened I'm dying to know." Kup grunted. "The insider gives him information. Codes—a way into our systems."
"You keep mentioning codes." Jazz frowned. "I don't understand."
"The Trion was invaded. They found a way into our systems and shut us down. Shields, controls, everything. Must've been doing the same thing to our bases galaxy-wide." Kup looked to the star-studded sky. "It was a massacre."
He turned to Jazz. "Listen, I've made a decision. We're merging units. Your team, my Wreckers, and the Valkyries. Elita-1 has overall command. Once she gets it together, she'll help us decide our next course of action.."
"So just like that I'm one of your little soldiers bustin' my ass to prove my worth to you, huh?" Jazz growled.
"You'll be whatever I want you to be if that's what it takes to get out here alive." Both mechs turned to Elita-1 as she stood in the doorway. "Prowl will be my tactical advisor. Chromia's my second in command. You and Kup will be sub-commanders of your respective teams. That's my final decision." She turned her gaze onto Jazz. "You may not like it, but right now your entire team is under suspicion until we can discern who the traitor is. You don't get to be angry about our decisions. Are we clear?"
Jazz cleared his throat. "Crystal."
"Good. I'm going to talk to Ratchet about Optimus's condition. Afterwards, we'll plan our next move."
Elita-1 went back inside, leaving the two mechs alone again. Neither of them said a word for the rest of the hour.

Wei-Ling, the capital city of Xin, was completely destroyed. The Seekers and the Insecticons had completely tore apart the metropolis with disturbing ease, killing thousands and laying waste to several miles of infrastructure. And being one of the largest cities in the world, there were a lot of buildings to destroy. Thousands of years of history all gone in laser fire or eaten by hungry insecticons. But despite their rather impressive teamwork used against the Xingese military, there was some…friction between the two groups.
"Listen buddy, I've killed just under a third of this city's population in the past two hours." Skywarp growled in Bombshell's face. "What makes killing you will be any harder?"
"So you killed thousands of humans. So what? They're small and weak without their pathetic toys. No different from squashing—"
"A bug? You're a bug, you stupid genius." Skywarp growled. "Is that supposed to be impressive, bug?"
"Remarkably eloquent, aren't you?" Bombshell said dryly. "Criticizing another form when you're just one of a thousand thousand identical tin soldiers."
"You little shit! We were made in the image of our founder! It's a sign of our brotherhood as true Seekers!"
"Like you even care about history, you smooth brained idiot. You act like being a Seeker is an honor. Something to be cherished. What a joke."
Skywarp shoved Bombshell back. "You annoy me, little bug. Your mind games won't work on me."
"I know, and for good reason." Bombshell didn't even twitch as his bright orange visor stared into Skywarp's face. "Look at you. Weak. Scared. Desperately wanting to feel superior, to be a part of something important. Acting like Megatron will give you traitorous Seekers the time of day. Pathetic."
Skywarp fired his laser cannon into Bombshell's chest, blasting him into a building. Bombshell hissed angrily and pointed his gun at Skywarp.
"Go ahead." He grinned.
Bombshell had a cannon shoved into his face and saw it was Thundercracker standing over him.
"You take on one of us, you take on all of us." Thundercracker said dryly. "I won't hold back like he did."
"You take on one of us, you take on all of us." Bombshell chuckled. "Who do you think you're talking to?"
Two Insecticons appeared and pointed their guns at them, but Skywarp simply teleported behind them and took aim at the brutes.
"I'm called Skywarp for a reason." Skywarp said cockily.
Seeing that he wasn't going to win this, Bombshell transformed and flew away with his two drones. Skywarp laughed at their backs, throwing insults at them.
"Good riddance. I had no idea those freaks were so annoying." Skywarp grunted. "Starting something with me. Should've had the Autobots used them as cannon fodder before we dumped them on Cybertron, eh Thundercracker?"
Thundercracker said nothing, just looking around at the desolated city around them with a look of displeasure.
"What?" Skywarp said.
"Nothing."
"It's not nothing." Skywarp said. "Come on, Cracker, that was just like old times. It got you going, right?"
Thundercracker just gave a non-committed shrug, causing Skywarp to growl.
"What's wrong with you? All you do is walk around and mope all day! I torched the city by myself, man! Where's the fun in doing this myself?"
Thundercracker's lack of response angered Skywarp further. "You know, between you being like this and Starscream barely hanging around us anymore, I'm starting to feel all alone out here."
The purple outlier transformed and flew away, leaving Thundercracker alone in the rubble of Xing's former imperial capital.

Gina felt like falling asleep. The ride to Skyfire and Lifeline's location was quiet. Too quiet for her. Against her resistance, Gina could feel her eyes sagging and she struggled not to fall asleep.
Ultra Magnus was flying them all to visit the military base to meet up with their friends. A long the way, Arcee debriefed Ultra Magnus on what she knew of the situation. Hopefully Skyfire, who was actually there at the site, could fill them in on much needed details.
As they neared the base, they were greeted by four Atlantian Tigershark fighters who escorted them the rest of the way. On the landing strip were two Army talos teams waiting for them as Ultra Magnus landed his ship.
As they disembarked, the first thing Gina noticed was Skyfire and Lifeline. Then she noticed High Wire and…Sparkplug?
"Sparkplug?" Gina smiled and pulled Sureshock along to meet up with the two Minicons.
Later on, Gina would say that she was woman enough to admit that she cried when she and Sureshock leapt onto High Wire and hugged him. There was a lot of tears on her part.
She was gentler with Sparkplug, who smiled and hugged her back. He looked weak but was still a whole lot better than when Jazz's team rescued him.
"I'm so glad you're all right, Sparkplug." Gina said happily.
"Same here." Sparkplug smiled. "I was so relieved when High Wire said that you and Annie had made it out."
Ultra Magnus approached General Bryce. "Are you the commander of this base?"
"Yes I am. I'm General Bryce. Welcome to Nellis Air Force Base." The general greeted him.
"Thank you. My apologies for the abrupt entrance, but time is short and I have a lot of things to discus with you." Ultra Magnus said.
Bryce nodded and led Ultra Magnus into the nearest hangar. Barnett met up with Gina and the Minicons, giving her a relieved smile as well.
"I'm happy to see you're safe, Gina. The same for all of you. I'm sure Debbie will be happy to hear that you're alive." Barnett said honestly. That woman was at her wit's end and any good news would do her good. "We still have no word on the other Autobots, but we'll keep you posted for any updates."
"Finding Bulkhead's group will be hard. Annie's talos can mask their signals from radar and satellite images." Sureshock said. "As for Rodimus…"
High Wire shook his head. "Still no word on him, and Skyfire said that Tomahawk never made it out."
Gina gasped. "No…"
"The Atlantians are helping out the Army in Washington, but it's a stalemate. They're just focusing on evacuating the area right now before the Cons get involved." Sparkplug said. "Things wouldn't be half as bad if they didn't have Devastator backing up the bulk of their firepower."
Princess Aspen walked over to the group and smiled at them. "Would you all like to come inside? I'm sure you're all tired from your travels."
Gina smiled back. "Thank you. I honestly could use some shut eye."
'And hopefully a chance to call Debbie and tell her about Annie.' Was her final thought.

"Annie are you sure you want to do this?"
Annie blinked at Brittany's question. "What do you mean?"
Brittany gave her a look. "You know what I mean."
The girls were waiting for Barnaby to finish talking with Sumeragi. The Neo Knight leader was the only person who could find Darren and the Minicons right now.
"Of course I'm sure." Annie said. "This is my only chance to save my brother and the Minicons. With luck, they're being kept in the same place."
"I'm just worried about what we'll find. After hearing Bulkhead describe what happened to the Cons' human prisoners…" Brittany looked away uncomfortably. "There's a good chance that you might not like what you find."
Annie exhaled through her nose and crossed her arms. "Honestly, I'd rather know that not know at all. Whatever the case, I'm not leaving him with those bastards. Even if I have to kill every facist esper and Decepticon in my way."
Brittany wrapped her arms around Annie, who let herself sink into the embrace. "Got any room for one more in that little band of yours?"
"You're coming along?" Annie said excitedly.
"Where else am I going to stay?" Brittany snorted. "And as your girlfriend, it's my job to ensure that you don't get into trouble." She grunted when Annie hugged her and smiled. "I'm not as good a fighter as you, but those self-defense lessons do wonders for a werecheetah like me."
Annie grinned and leaned up to catch her in a kiss. They stayed in their embrace a moment longer until Bulkhead walked over to them.
"Annie, we found him." He said, and Annie brought her game face on.
A minute later everyone was inside the airship going over a map of Karaba bases.
"Sumeragi located your brother in a Karaba base situated deep in a canyon in the middle of a mountain range near the Rockies. You guys actually drove past the area on your way here." Kotetsu said. "According to the data, it was just constructed, so its defenses are light, though only by Autobot standards.
"And the Minicons are there too?" Grindor asked.
"It appears so. Sumeragi detected several cybertronian brain signatures there. It's definitely the Minicons."
"Hold us," Armorhide said. "Are we seriously storming an enemy base with our numbers? I'm all for busting Decepticon heads, but not when they can wipe us out in two minutes."
"Then we hit them hard and fast before they have the chance to call for backup." Bulkhead said. "Don't worry, kid. The Wreckers have been in similar situations and we've made it out fine."
"After losing half your team." Armorhide grumbled.
"The base has an airship hangar that we can land in, but once we're inside, we'll have to move fast." Barnaby said.
"We can split up into teams." Suggested Karina. "Annie's group looks for Darren, Barnaby's group looks for the Minicons."
"The kid and I can handle their talos forces." Bulkhead grinned. "You can be damn sure we'll lay down the hurt."
Barnaby nodded at the team. "Alright, we have a pan. Now let's get ready. We've got a long day ahead of us."

Jazz and Kup watched the other Autobots mingling down below. Seeing familiar faces again brought some life to the group, but Kup knew this lull in their suffering was only temporary.
"We've all been through a lot." Prowl said. "Sometimes I wonder how much we can actually take. How much more we can handle."
"Centuries of endless fighting with no rest, no home, nothing. Every step takes us further from what we sought to defend." Kup said wearily.
Prowl sighed. "Morale is at an all-time low. Ironhide's in a dark place right now, and it's spread to the others. Some of them will see it as the end."
"But it's not the end." Elita-1 walked onto the bridge. "We still have Optimus."
"She's right. Megatron may have the Matrix, but he can't use it or destroy it. That thing's pretty much indestructible." Jazz said. "He thinks Optimus is dead, and with him our spirit. He has no idea how wrong he is."
"Exactly." Elita-1 nodded. "Which is why we're heading back to the Trion."
The three mechs looked at her surprised. "I'm sorry, what?" Jazz said.
"If we lose Optimus, then we really will fall apart. It's only a matter of time before infighting and suspicion causes everyone to lash out at each other."
"She's right. We were storing our energon on the slim hope of fixing the Trion, but right now, Prime's our priority." Kup agreed with her.
"But the Trion—" Prowl was cut off by Elita-1.
"Is dead. The Cons made sure of that when they took out our systems." She said. "But thanks to Springer the ship's still in one piece, and aside from the lack of navigation, shields and communications, our medical equipment still works."
"Even the CR chamber?" Jazz asked hopefully.
"Yes. It's more than enough equipment for Ratchet to use to help Optimus."
"That's great, because the sooner we move, the sooner we can avert disaster." Prowl said, glancing at Ironhide. "Because I'm really not liking the way Ironhide's been acting lately."

Chromia found Ironhide on the lookout tower seething to himself. He had been doing that a lot lately and it was making her worried. So, after seeing that he was by himself, she followed him to the tower for some private time that he had seemingly forgot about in his paranoia.
"Hey." Chromia said to him.
"Hey." Ironhide grunted.
Chromia stared at him deadpan. "It's good to see you too, Ironhide. Wow, it's been so long since we last saw each other. It's awfully nice to get some fragging attention from my conjux."
"Alright, alright, I'm sorry." Ironhide said and turned to her. "I've been really tense lately, if you haven't noticed."
"Yeah, I have. Everyone's talking about how you sucker punched Prowl. I'd love to clock that asshole in the face as much as the next mech, but this really isn't the time to do it." She said.
"But he was—" Ironhide paused when he saw something in the shadows. "Did you see that?"
"Yeah." Chromia whispered. "Elita!"
"Elita-1 and Kup ran onto the balcony. "What's wrong?" She asked.
"Spotted an Insecticon half a mile from here." Chromia said.
Ironhide squinted and saw the insecticon through the darkness. What he saw made his processor grow cold.
The insecticons were always oddities by cybertronian standards, from their behavior to their biology, but this one just looked…wrong. The insecticon's body looked obscenely mutated, and Ironhide could see it's mesh and wiring peeking out from under its armor as if it's carapace couldn't contain its body. It had large sharp claws and mandibles, as well as an uneven number of smaller appendages and a misshapen head with large segmented eyes. Its movements were janky and shaky, searching for its next meal.
"What the hell is that?" He whispered in horror.
"The result of an insecticon mutated by cosmic radiation." Kup said grimly. "There's tons of 'em popping out of their hives now that Cybertron's surface isn't as irradiated anymore."
"It's seen us. We can't let it get back to the others." Jazz said.
"Taken care of." Kup said.
The insecticon snarled and took a step toward the hidden base…only to have it's head severed cleanly mid-step. The twitching headless corpse fell over, revealing Drift as he walked out of the shadows with a smirk on his face.
"Hello and goodbye."
On his left, another insecticon leapt out of the shadows at him, but it's head exploded in a gory mess from a high speed bullet fired by none other than Perceptor, who calmly reloaded his rifle.
"That's our sign to go." Elita-1 said. "Pack your things and roll out as fast as possible. We have to get back to the Trion before the rest of the swarm comes down on us."

Megatron roared as he slammed his fist down into a battle tank, crushing it and its crew into scrap. He spun around and cut a talos trying to flank him in two with a single swipe of keranos. As he fought, the talk he had with Starscream continued to plague his mind.
"You only have yourself to blame." Starscream said. "You built yourself an army, fed them on doctrine—"
"Get to the point, Starscream." Megatron growled.
"How long before they turn, do you think? When they realize this battle is going nowhere?" Starscream asked. "Maybe earlier?"
"Don't come at me with that drivel, Starscream. This battle does have a purpose. Cybertron is gone, and so this world, upon which we defeated the Autobots and the dolems, shall be the seat of our power." Megatron replied. "We've taken one of their greatest cities in their most powerful nation, one of significant strategic importance. And by holding this country for ransom, we have their military by the bearings."
"Please, we could've bombarded that city with the Nemesis." Starscream scoffed.
"And what of the enjoyment, the challenge? Fear, terror, have you not proclaimed yourself the master of these things?"
"You're stalling, Megatron. We've beaten the only real threat you've ever faced and now you're stuck because you didn't plan ahead." He went on. "You know what's coming next. Who do you think it will be? Darkshadow? Wreckage? Maybe even Shockwave."
Starscream shook his head with a grunt and walked away. "Who would've thought the worst thing you could've done was win?"
"Megatron?"
Megatron blinked and saw Nightshade standing in front of him looking concerned.
"Are you okay? You've been standing there for a while now."
"I'm fine, Nightshade." He waved off her concern.
"We've been looking everywhere for you. I had to ask Soundwave where you were."
"I wished to be alone."
"Alone?" Nightshade pursed her lips. "In a warzone?"
"Yes, Nightshade. In a warzone." He said annoyed. "I needed time to think…and prepare."
"Well, just because we're winning doesn't mean we can act rashly. You told us to pair up in case one of them got off a lucky shot."
"Nightshade, please. I am Megatron." He said, walking past her and carelessly stepping over the smoking remains of his enemies. "These creatures are of no threat to me."

The conquest of Osea was shown across the world and the Decepticon raids on other countries was met with varying reactions, mainly those of fear. The nations not under attack were already mobilizing their armies and closing their borders to stave off an attack, though everyone knew they couldn't stop the Cons from just ground bridging into their territory.
Xing was struggling painfully against the Decepticons after losing its capital, Ursali was in flames, Britannia had thankfully avoided any major attacks, but half their fleet was destroyed by Devastator when trying to aid the Osean Navy, and Yuktobania was also being plagued with hit and run attacks led by Darkshadow's Razors.
With the Autobots gone, the world was slowly descending into chaos. The Decepticons were steadily increasing their reach across Europa and Azteca, and Karaba targeted the places known for treating espers inhumanely. Things were looking dire for humanity and it seemed as if this was it for civilization.
With this thought in mind, plans were made to eliminate the Decepticon threat as soon as possible. Desperate measures must be taken if they were to survive. If humanity was to survive another day, they must kill the threat at its source…no matter how many lives are lost in the crossfire.
The story is finished! Transformers Titan: Devastation is finished at 50 chapters. Just short of the standard number of episodes for TF Armada and Energon! Man, it feels so good to get this story done. I had a lot of fun revealing the revelations and putting the characters through their paces. Next chapter is a big one as The Neo Knights and the Autobots race to rescue Darren from Karaba. Be sure to check out the official Transformers Titan website on wordpress.
