Transformers: TransWarp

Season 2

Episode II

"Sole Survivors"



Blaster fire exploded around the Mecca as the Autobot Brothers open fired on Gigatron.

"Wait! Hold your fire! We don't want to damage the Mecca. Its Prime's only way back!" Cried out Fire Convoy.

"So...Optimus Prime has used this magnificent machine."

Gigatron gracefully hopped off and transformed into his robot mode.

"How delicious..." Gigatron carefully inspected the carvings and workings bordering the portal.

"Tell me Convoy. What exactly does this 'thing' do?"

Fire Convoy stood to his feet, his chest slightly charred from the missile blast fired from Gigatron earlier.

"We...we don't know.."

There was a pause of silence as Gigatron ran his fingers over the carvings.

"Hmm..Perhaps I should find out for you."

Gigatron laughed as he turned his head, extending a hand out towards the Autobots.

"So long!"

Energy suddenly rippled out like lightning as a bolt struck each Autobot in the chest, knocking them down and temporarily disabling them.

"Ciao!" He laughed as he stepped inside of the portal, disappearing.



Back on Cybertron, a small group of Autobot survivors scurried throughout the underground tunnels.

"How much longer are we going to be hiding like rats down here Blitz?"

Their leader, Blitz, let out a soft sigh,

"Listen kid, if you don't like it down here with us then be my guest and head for the surface." the young leader answered, agitated with Xeratron's continuous nagging

"At least after you're slaughtered we won't have to listen to your whining." She muttered to herself.

"It won't be long before the Tyrannicons find out where we are. We need to find Magnum and the others before we DO get caught."

Blitz's voice turned soft as she mentioned Magnum's name, memories being drawn up.

She shook her head lightly to clear her mind,

"Come on guys, let's move. I'm detecting two faint energy signatures not too far from here. Let's go" Urged one of the five survivors.

The other four looked among themselves with high hopes that someone was out there who were at the least friendly.

So the group crawled off on their hands and knee's through the cold, damp, and dark underground tunnels which labyrinthed the surface of Cybertron.

It wasn't too long before they came across the nearest sewer hole to the two, one by one, each Autobot crawled out of the tunnels, relieved to be out of the stench in the sewers, and fanned out in search of the two others who miraculously managed to survive up here on the surface.

"Whoa..." The youngest of the group muttered to himself as he spotted the two CNF soldiers crawling on their stomaches, the occasional array of sparks flashing from just about every of their joints.

"H-hey Blitz! I...I think I found them." He winced his eyes a moment as he studied the two, trying to make out who they were. But the sparks coupled with their heavy damage made it too hard for him to make out their identities much less their allegiance.

The four others gathered around them as they did their best to try to help.

Blitz carefully walked over to one. She tried her best not to look over his body; she felt she would collapse if she did so she concentrated her gaze on his faintly glowing sky blue optics, determined to find out who these guys were.

Two others lay them on their backs, tending to most of their wounds as he weakly stretched a hand out towards blitz.

She took his hand and patted it gently, feeling sorry for what's happened for the two before he began to speak.

"Cybertron...Monsters..." He had some trouble processing words before he said one last thing before slipping into stasis lock.

"Strider...Contact...Contact Magnum..." His eyes faded to black as his systems went down, shutting off into stasis lock.

"Strider?!?" She gasped as she rested his hand on his chest, standing up to get a good look at him.

"We're got to get these two to a CR chamber and fast. Stasis lock will only keep these two soldiers for a certain length of time. Let's move."

The young one who had spotted them transformed into his alternate form, a flatbed transport.

The two were carefully loaded on as a few others sat with them, reminiscent of the Earthen Ambulances.

"Keep your weapons drawn. Now that were traveling on the surface we've increased our chances of being killed."

They all nodded to each other, drawing their handguns as they sped off into the dark horizon decorated with orange flames.



The two Tyrannicons closed in, boxing Magnum into a corner.

"We shall enjoy this, enjoy this..."

One of them raised their hand as it had suddenly transformed into a spiked hammer-like weapon, and swung it down, hoping to bash this lone Autobot into pieces himself.

Magnum had dropped to a knee, struggling to keep this maniac's weapon from making him into kibble & bits.

The Tyrannicon cackled as he pushed the weapon closer to Magnum's faceplate.

"You cannot defeat us, defeat us..." His voice echoed...

"Who...who are you?"

"Who are we? We are your future Autobot. And now, my friend, we are your end, your end..."
