"Keys"
By God Fire Convoy
The alarm shouted throughout the silver ship as several direct hits were confirmed on its outer hull.
"Grr…What happened?!?" Growled Plasmacron angrily.
"Outer hull has been breached on gun-decks three and four. Activating force fields and beginning repairs, sir." Reported his tactics officer Dinox.
"Rrr…take care of it and unleash a counterattack on the first ship in view!"
"With pleasure…In fact, I'll do it personally."
Dinox anxiously jumped up from his post and jogged off for the nearest exit hatch.
"I'll eliminate those Autobots once and for all…" He growled as he punched his fist into his hand. Sparks of energy scattered when the metal collided, his hands letting off a soft glow.
He reached over and pressed his fist into a panel. A moment later the emergency hatch hissed open.
"Let's ride!"
Dinox threw himself outside of the ship and floated aimlessly for a few moments, his optics scanning for the attacker ship.
"There it is!"
After he spotted it his whole body was surrounded by a soft aura of a green hue. His parts and armor began to lift and change, reconstructing his massive robotic form into a highly advanced, highly aerodynamic stealth interceptor jet unlike any seen in this universe. The jet floated as he aimed himself for the ship. A split second later, the thrusters exploded, sending the Tyrannicon through space towards the Knightfall like a flash of lightning.
"Its CRUNCH TIME!"
After he got within range he quickly transformed back into his robot mode. He watched for a moment as his hands slowly retracted within their sockets to be replaced by the sparkle of two razor like saws.
"Sir, one of them is attacking the ship!" Screamed a panic stricken Decepticon as he watched the Tyrannicon rocket towards them, preparing to slice the ship in two.
"Raise the shields and prepare a counter team. Looks like we can finally get our first good look at these new bloodthirsty monsters…" Xero said as he watched the robot soar towards them.
Two gigantic doors slowly slid open as Fire Convoy jogged into the room.
Speedbreaker pointed over to a small vault. "There it is!"
"Its gotta be in there!" Wild Ride added.
Mach Alert, quickly, open the vault. The more time we waste standing around the more Cybertron suffers…"
Mach Alert gave a nod to his leader as he slowly walked up to the small vault door and inspected the nearby control panel with utmost care.
"I'm afraid it's been short-circuited. I ca-"
"Then open it by force."
Mach Alert gave a slight sigh. "As you wish, sir."
Mach Alert took a few steps backwards and aimed his arm mounted fusion cannons at the vault. He hesitated for a moment. He didn't feel right destroying part of history, part of the Ark. He convinced himself that saving his kind was more important than saving a small door on a massive space cruiser, so he fired. Twin missiles engulfed in flames penetrated the armor at point blank range, making a hole just big enough to reach in and grab the key to K-Jax 7.
"You did it!" Fire Convoy rejoiced as he reached inside the vault, taking the key with utmost care.
"We have to get this key to Cybertron before its too late. Lets take the 'Cybertron Network' back to base, quickly!"
Fire Convoy stored the key inside his chest compartment before sprouting the words "Autobots, Transform and back to base!"
The four of them quickly nodded against themselves before transforming into their alternate modes, a Mercedes SUV, a Dodge Viper, and a Lamborghini Police Car.
Their alien engines rattled in the sky like a tiger's purr. Exhaust fountained from the vehicles as they rode off back to the main highway.
They drove for about a mile or two before two poles suddenly extended from underground. A moment later, a bright light filled the gap between the two poles as the portal, one of the many entryways to the "Cybertron Network," opened for them.
"We need to bring this key in for further analysis. The deal about being able to detonate a high explosive is just a legend I'm afraid. This key could do anything…"
"Fire Convoy," He was interrupted by the Autobot's computer system they call T.A.I. [Tactical Artificial Intelligence].
"I've looked further into the Autobot's Datatracks and I've found out that there are TWO keys! They go to something called the 'Mecca.' After that all I found was this odd puzzle. I'll relay it to you."
Fire Convoy's onboard computer beeped as the transmission was received. He read the puzzle to himself and the others with him.
"Two keys determine life or death. The Mecca determines ultimate power. Transformation is the key to power, and that power lies in many more keys. Size makes no difference, for the power is great, the keys are small."
"I don't know what to make of it." Said TAI
"Hmm…keep searching the datatracks for anything 'small' and contact Optimus Prime on Cybertron to see if he knows anything of these keys or this 'Mecca."
"Right away, sir."
"Small you say?"
"Yes, sir. It said 'small.' Do you know what it means?"
"Well…" Optimus sighed.
"The Mecca is an ancient doorway, so they say, said to lead somewhere in the distant past. Our scientists couldn't verify that though because it can only be activated under two circumstances. The right time, and the right keys."
A small alarm sounded on T.A.I.'s end of the transmission.
"What's that?"
"Sir. I think the Mecca has just…activated."
"Hmm…Then perhaps it is the right time. I'll gather the other key hidden here on Cybertron and meet you at the spacebridge. Inform Fire Convoy that a few others and myself are on our way to investigate. Optimus out."
The COM quickly shut off as he pressed another button, a few minutes later three Autobots arrived in the communications room, Hot Shot, Red Alert, and Phazer.
"Autobots, prepare yourselves. We are about to embark on a quest of discovery. I'll inform you on the way to the Earth. I've leaving Cybertron in the capable hands of Magnum Convoy and Rodimus Prime while we investigate the 'Mecca."
Moments later, the four Autobots stood inside the space bridge entryway as the coordinates were finally inputted into the NAV computer. Optimus gave a saluting gesture to Magnum and the Council.
"I wouldn't wait up for us. There's no telling when we'll get back."
"Are you sure YOU should be going along Op?" Questioned Cheetor.
Optimus chuckled in response. "I'll be just fine Cheetor. Take care of Cybertron while I'm gone."
The two doors slammed closed as a bright beam extended from atop the highest sky scraper on Cybertron towards the Earth as the four brave Autobots left on perhaps one of the last missions they'll ever be assigned…
