Transformers: TransWarp
Episode II
"The Maiden Voyage"
By God Fire Convoy
Hundreds of Cybertronians gather in Iacon Harbor, the sound of their cheering echoing through the seemingly infinite vastness of space as the final preparations are being made to the newest incarnation of the Axalon.
Several scientists sit in 3 rows of desks and consoles, the screens flashing with numbers as all calculations are being confirmed for the maiden voyage of the Axalon-II. Magnum Convoy stood behind the rows of scientists and observed the giant viewscreen ahead of him.
"Trax, give me a full report on the Axalon. I want to know how every little bolt is holding to ensure its safety." Commanded the Admiral of the Cybertronian Naval Force.
The small built Autobot named Trax nodded and rushed over to the main systems screen, quickly recording the data to a small datapad in his hand. After the data was recorded he jogged over to Magnum, handing him the datapad.
Magnum's optics quickly looked over all of the information held in the datapad…
"Excellent." He told himself.
Magnum Convoy pressed the com button on his left chest, the signal rerouting so his voice can be heard throughout the whole complex,
"This is Admiral Magnum Convoy, all systems are go. Begin the launch sequence immediately."
Magnum Convoy's voice echoed through the complex as all the personel quickly made the final adjustments to the ship.
Meanwhile, onboard, Captain Rattrap and his crew also made some last adjustments in the bridge.
"Helm, make the final calculations to the NAV computer, make sure the path to Earth is neat and clean. Don't want to break her on her maiden voyage now do we?" Said Capt. Rattrap with a slight smile.
The Helm officer, Duoblade, nodded and quickly typed in the coordinates, using the ships long-range scanners to make sure there are no obstructions.
"The path seems clear Captain. Shall I warm up the sublight engines for cast away sir?" Duoblade asked.
The viewscreen suddenly flashed on and Magnum Convoy's face appeared in the center.
"Good morning gentlemen. I trust you are all rested and ready for takeoff?" asked the Admiral.
"All good and ready over here Kirk. We're ready to launch, just give us the go" exclaimed Rattrap.
"Good. All systems seem operational so you can take her out whenever your ready Captain Rattrap." Said Magnum Convoy.
Rattrap nodded as he switched off the main viewscreen and turned a head to look at his helmsman.
"Bring us up to speed and take us out Lieutenant. We've got to prove these new Transwarp engines work A+ quality."
Duoblade nodded as he looked down at his console, pressing buttons here and there before pressing one last large green one.
The ship began to creak and rattle as the ships engines became active. The dock began to fill with light as the ships engines began to glow brightly.
"Increase speed to 25%" commanded Rattrap
The ship rattled some more as it slowly began to drift forwards out of the harbor, the crowd cheering louder than before from seeing that the ship moves.
After a few moments the ship slowly sailed out of the harbor and up into the vastness of space. All the crewmembers of the ship doing their respective jobs as they passed the Moons.
Rattrap smiled as he sat down in the captains chair, watching the stars soar by.
"Initiate phase 1 of the Transwarp sequence." Said Rattrap.
The helmsman nodded as he opened a small container, a little blue button raised as a bar of lights began to glow.
"The Transwarp nacelles are fully charged Captain." Said Duoblade.
"Engage.."
Duoblade nodded and pressed the blue button. For a moment nothing happened, but the ships outer hull began to open as a pair of bars extended from each side, each of them glowing a dark blue tone. The glow began get brighter as energy was pumped into the nacelles, the shipped slowed down nearly to a halt as the sublight engines were disengaged, a moment after the nacelles flashed brightly and sent the ship soaring into space.
The people on Cybertron watched the sky as the Axalon-II shot across like a shooting star. They all stood in awe before the whole harbor filled with the clashing of metal as they clapped in rejoice.
Meanwhile, in the Command Complex of the CNF, Magnum Convoy watched the Axalon disappear into the stars, his optics glowing happily as he turns to face Council Master Optimus Prime.
"The new Transwarp engines work perfectly Optimus Prime. How shall we congradulate our liege of scientists?" he asked.
"Perhaps a small ceremony will do Magnum. Congratulations.." Optimus said as he held out his hand towards him.
Magnum Convoy nodded and took Optimus' hand in his, shaking it a few times before letting it go.
"Thank you Optimus."
The scene fades to a sea of stars and holds the view a moment just before the Axalon zooms past it, We go into the bridge..
"Transwarp deactivating in T-minus 10 clicks.
9..
8..
7..
6..
5..
4.."
The ship began to shake and rattle as the nacelles powered down and slowly retracted back into the ship…
"…3..
2..
1…"
The ship came to a glide just before the sublight engines reactivated, the ship sailing at 50% capacity, the planet of Earth just a few more millions of light years away.
"I want a full systems report, give me the status of every vital system in he-"
Rattrap is suddenly cut off as the bridge filled with a loud beeping sound, red lights flashing..
"Report, report!" yelled out Rattrap
"Sir, it seems we have one VERY large ship on our long range scans" said one of the crewmen.
"What kind of ship? Who does it belong to?" questioned Rattrap.
"Information unavailable sir. We are bringing up a visual now." Said the crewman as the viewscreen switched to display a large arrow shaped ship.
"What in the name of Gouda??" muttered Rattrap.
The view zooms into the viewscreen displaying the ship and zooms out as we get a real view of the gigantic arrow.
"How much farther until we get to Cybertron!?!" Yelled a dark figure sitting in a chair at the center of the ships bridge.
"Not much farther my lord. But we have picked up a little present on the scanners." Reported Centro.
"Exxellent…." Chuckled the mysterious figure.
"Plot a course immediately, we shall say hello to our new friends…"
The gigantic arrow like ship began to pick up speed as it suddenly disappeared like a streak of lightning and reappeared just as quickly behind the Axalon.
"How much further until the Cybertronian ship is within firing range?" Asked Centro.
"About one Megacycle Commander." Answered the crewman.
The dark figure's optics glowed a furious red as it stood to its feet.
"We will disable the ship and send it home, giving the inhabitants of Cybertron time to panic moments before we strike like a storm…" he began to laugh maniacally.
"…yesss….."
