Arcee: Starscream but how I killed you 4 years ago.
Narrator: 4 years ago Arcee and Starscream were in a battle on cybertron and starscream lost.
Zombie starscream: You did but my spark is cursed so I can't join the allspark, so I floated through space until I came back to earth and found this terrorcon monster a few weeks ago but I could not control this body because of morocco tron.
Hotshot: But then he lost that dark energon and gained control of that body.
Zombie starscream: And I defeated morocco tron and shockwave and gained command over the decepticons. And now I will erricate you and your Russian friends.
Wedge: How do you know about that?!
Zombie starscream: I learned about you guys from the undead king known as Koshei, the immortal or deathless who managed to already study them with a stolen artifact.
Heaterist prime: What kind of artifact this so-called Koshei has?
Zombie starscream:Ow y'know a magical plate and apple that when the apple is spinning in this plate, he can see almost anything, including you.
Otto: "wait? It can't be,He & rest of other mythological Characters have already gone a long time ago!"
Medix: wait? That's illogical,are You telling Me that those Mythological Characters actually exist?
Starscream: Ow,He told Me that He & others had been escaped to Siberia a long time ago, back in 1206 when a Legendary & Unstoppable Mongolian Warlord united all His Clans under one banner and conquered almost ALL of Asia... including in 1237 He invaded Russia's name sake,The Kievan rus. His name was Genghis khan...
Whirl jr: Ow My Primus...
Hotshot: what He-
Starscream: it's no time for that,I will make an ultimatum. Either give Me power over Russia and let Kaschei also rule Siberia or in 9 weeks We would unleash The Second Russian Civil War! So goodbye, Hahahaha!
Action: The Communications turned off
As Starscream turned off, Autobots were in scrambles. They knew they absolutely needed The Support of The Russian government,but they had a question.
Heaterist Prime: Otto,do You know what Kievan Rus once was & how did The so called Genghis khan conquer it?
Otto: It's... A long story,but what You must know is that The Population where East Slavic,but the Founders were NOT SLAVIC in origin
The Recruits: THEN WHO ARE THEY!
Otto: Vikings
Everyone else in the room: HHuuuhh!?
Chief Burns spewing out tea in shock: What the Hell are you talking about? Are you telling me that The Vikings founded Kievan Rus?
Otto explains: The Name Russia was named after the group of Vikings, also referred to Them as Varagians who would call themselves & Their Native East Slavic inhabitants as The Rus'.
Whirl jr terrified: But,but they are raiders!
Otto: No,they aren't coming to raid Us. Although only very few tried but disappointed that there's very little wealth to plunder unlike in British & Irish Isles
Wedge in confusion: Then what did they do instead?
Otto: They tried to Settle since there's a better use for this land than raiding.
The Recruits where thinking about what better usage of that land
Hotshot looking at The Rivers of a map Kievan rus: maybe for trading?
Otto: You're right!
Whirl jr gasped: How did You know!
Hotshot: simple,there are a lot of long rivers and since those Viking Rus' have a incredible ships,that allowed them to easily getting to one place to another without any problems
Bulkhead: no wonder they had such mobile ships,they could easily get to Britain, sacking pretty much everything & then immediately go back home. I can imagine the frustration The Petty Kings have to deal with them.
Otto: Yeah, and those ships also can able to sail even to shower rivers, which why those rivers in Eastern Europe where so vital to their trade
Sludge: Yeah,but aren't East Slavs happy being under those Vikings?
Snarl: Well,duh there are very few Vikings who tried their attempts to sack Eastern Europe!
Otto: sure, there's even a war between Viking Rus' & a coalition of East Slavic, Baltic & Finno-Ugric tribes who had enough & successfully kicked Viking Rus' out
Medix: But then Viking Rus' would NEVER founded Kievan rus?
Otto: although it's a serious defeat,the coalition suddenly got into serious infighting which resulted in the almost destruction of their settlements. The East Slavs in particular had realised that they had absolutely no order to repair the damage they caused,as such they convinced The Viking Rus' to send Rurik & two younger brothers to return & bring the new order to help them rebuild.
Whirl jr: an established trade?
Otto: yup, in fact Rurik Rurikid also established His own dynasty in which Rurik's successors eventually founding a NEW Rus state that bares the namesake's name: Russia
Chief Burns spewing out His Coffee: What did you say? Where's the fucking evidence?
Otto: I knew The American government actually doesn't tell You the truth & in some cases even try to indoctrinate You or even simply telling Lies! We aren't some kind of Barbarians who are destined to be ruled by Tyrants! It's just that Russia had a very unique different development compare from The Western World
Bumblebee: So are You telling Us that The Americans aren't as good as We thought?
Otto: Like The Manifest Destiny.
Cody: I heard of this, it's about USA's destiny to spread Freedom, Liberty & Equality to The East as well as redeem The Western World!
Otto: except mostly They don't, instead they find ways to exploit The Natives & destroy their Culture, traditions and religion. Even after Natives become proper Citizens,They still suffer because of The Manifest Destiny.
Frankie: Are there any examples?
Otto: yes, after The End of Mexican-American War in 1848 resulting in American victory,the US government had gain a LOT of land but also dislocation & brutal mistreatment of Native Americans, Hispanics & other Non-European occupants of the territories now being occupied by The United States.
Heaterist Prime: I knew They something hiding from Us,no wonder You all are far more trustworthy than The US government itself
Otto: thanks, Prime
Hotshot: Hey, where's the proof of that Viking thing you're talking about?
Action: Otto gives Them The Russian Primary Chronicle to Cody
Otto: this is the only source about The Origins of founders of Kievan Rus & those founder's great grandchildren would also eventually find Russia. No one,but Monk name Nestor ever documented Our Ancestors, that's why The Russian Primary Chronicle is so much important to piece together Our origin, even if there's a bit of romanticised moments y'know. And also, don't lose it & give it back once finished,ok?
Cody: Thanks
Medix: that's a important source to peace together, You are more than meets the eye,like We are
Otto: thanks, and now We must prepare & warn The Russian government about Our security threat.
Hotshot: Good luck then
Otto: and You tho
Action: both Hotshot & Otto nodding at each other.
Sofia: Well let's get ready, since he knows our location he will no doubt come for battle.
Authors note: Alot of this story was written buy my friend rus2005 because I needed someone who knows alot about russia and he will help with future ones to including the next chapter.
