PLANNED VENGEANCE
This shall be a day of vengeance, Ruby thought as she & her sisters emerged from their billions of years of suspended animation. They say tiny creatures. Some were in vehicles; while, others were on foot. They had all their weapons aimed at Ruby & her sisters. The five female transformers opened fire & obliterated the entire platoon. The sisters sensed that there was something different about them. Ruby told them to transform. They realized that they had new transform states, their new bodies heoped them hide on this planet, & they could fly. As they took to the sky, Ruby wondered if the Autobots & Decepticons were also online. She knew it would be that much harder for her to extract revenge on Megatron. He was one of the most powerful of all transformers. She also knew that if her sisters weren't there; she'd be slag in less than five minutes. "Don't sweat, Ruby, we will be victorious." Emerald said telepathically. Ruby hated the fact that her sister could get into her cranial chambers, but she knew that Emerald's special gift would come in handy. The an idea hit her. If Emerald could use her telepathy to track Megatron, the could have an advantage. Before she could say the words, Emerald informed her; via telepathy, that it was already done. Ruby sighed & wished her sister had a vocal chip. As the five femmes were heading to jthe coordinates provided to them by Emerald, they flew directly over the Autobot city, Metroplex. Cliffjumper & Goldbug were on monitor duty when the alarms started. Optimus Prime rushed into the command center & asked for a status report. "We're getting a transformers warning, Prime." Cliffjumper said. "One of them looks like Starscream." Goldbug added. "So why aren't the anti-Decepticon guns activated?" Prime asked. "That's because Teletran isn't reading them as Autobot or Decepticon!" Goldbug replied. Prime wondered how that could be. Every transformer was marked with an encoded Autobot or Decepticon insignia. Yet these transformers had neither. Prime knew that five new warriors would go a long way to ending Galvatron's evil ways. He ordered the Aerialbots to intercept these new transformers & bring them back to base. The Aerialbots quickly caught up to the five mysterious transformers. After some talking, all ten landed in an empty field. Silverbolt had the Aerialbots transform. He told them not to fire, but to be on guard. "Greetings fellow transformers," Silverbolt said as he stepped forward. "I am Silverbolt, leader of the Aerialbots, & these are my brothers: Fireflight, Sling Shot, Skydive, & Air Raid. Who are you?" "I am Ruby," she replied as she transformed, "& these are my sisters: Onyx, Emerald, Topaz, & Diamond." As she called out her sisters' names, they transformed. Silverbolt & the others were surprised to see female transformers in front of them. The only females they had seen; besides Arcee, resided on a planet called New Cybertron. Silverbolt radioed Optimus Prime. Prime had heard the names before, but he could not place them. He ordered the Aerialbots to bring them back to base so that he could question them personally. Silverbolt acknowleged Optimus' order & returned his attention to the five femmes before him. He informed them that Optimus Prime wanted to speak with them. As he stepped toward them, Onyx blasted him with her forearm laser. The area soon became a battle field as the five femmes faced off against the Aerialbots. Silverbolt gave the order for the Aerialbots to form Superion. The females never saw a combiner before, so Ruby gave the order to retreat. The females took to the skies & transformed in mid-air. Emerald, still in shock, was captured by Superion.
"You idiot!" Ruby screamed at ONyx. "What did you do that for?" "Because we didn't have time for talking with Prime." she retorted. "Besides, we needed to find some fuel quickly." "You forget that the Autobots are generous, they would have offered us energon. Not only that, Onyx, just think of how much easierit would have been to take out Megatron with an army of Autobots backing us!" Ruby was practically screaming. "I'm sorry, sis," Onyx said. "I didn't think that..." "I know you didn't think!" Ruby cut her off. "Now; thanks to your recklessness, we not only have Megatron & his Decepticons as enemies, but Optimus Prime & the Autobots as well!" Ruby was shaken out of her fit when Diamond informed her that Emerald was not with them. Oh great, Ruby thought. What else could go wrong? Just then their internal sensors showed that they had very little energon left in their systems. It was too late to go back & ask the Autobots, so they would have to steal some from the Decepticons. Ruby smiled to herself. It was ironic in a way. They would steal Megatron's energon to power up & destroy him. She told her sisters the plan & they all agreed that it was a good plan. They set off, once again, for the coordinates that Emerald gave them earlier. Ruby hoped that Megatron had an energon storage there. Because if he didn't, she & her sisters were going to look like burnt out toasters come morning. When the four femmes reached their destination, they found a Decepticon base. They didn't see any guards, but Ruby knew that Megatron was not so relaxed about security. She told Diamond to scout ahead & then watched as her sister vanished into thin air. All that was left for Ruby, Onyx, & Topaz to do was wait for their sister to return.
Inside the Decepticon base, Diamond was learning something new. It seems that Megatron no longer functions & the Decepticons are no longer the masters of Cybertron. The most important thing she learned was that the Decepticons were near war with each other. It seems some of the older Decepticons wanted to go to something or someone called Unicron to have Megatron remade. The others wanted to let the new leader, Galvatron, remain in power. So, Diamond thought, Megatron is no longer operational. Ruby will find this highly interesting, but right now I must find some energon. After searching the lower levels of the base, Diamond found what she was looking for. She drank one of the cubes right there. Feeling her circuits tingle with restored energy, she grabbed three more cubes. Extending her field of invisibility around the cubes, she left the Decepticon base to return to her sisters. When she reached the spot where her sisters were waiting, Diamond told them everything she had learned. Ruby seemed pleased with this news. She thought that it might be that much easier to get the Decepticons to help her free Emerald. Besides, she wanted to meet the one who managed to extinguish Megatron's spark. She told her sisters the plan. They were to claim loyalty to the Decpeticons until Emerald was free, then they would go to Cybertron & seek out their brothers. Later, as the sun was setting, the four femmes allowed themselves to be captured. They were brought before Galvatron & they explained their situation. Purposefully leaving out the part about the stolen energon. Galvatron started laughing. Ruby & her sisters could only look at each other in puzzlement. After a while, Galvatron stopped laughing & spoke. "Why should I help you?" he asked. "You just said you have cme to destroy me." "No, mighty Galvatron, it is not you we are here to destroy. It was that Deceptijerk, Megatron," Ruby said. "You were only recently reactivated," Galvatron began. "So, you have no way of knowing that I am Megatron. Same spark, different body." Galvatron told them of the Cybertronian Wars of the year 2005. He told them how he & Optimus Prime fought. He told them of how Unicron changed him & a few other Decepticons to new forms. He told them that they could find Thundercracker & Skywarp on Cybertron. When they asked about Starscream, his attitude changed. Once his story was completed, he asked Ruby if they still wished to join the Decepticons. They agreed on two occasions: 1) Galvatron helped them rescue Emerald. & 2) They get to see their brothers again. Galvatron agreed & said that they would set out in the morning to rescue Emerald & then he would take the femmes to Cybertron to see their brothers.
Inside Metroplex's security vault; Optimus Prime was questioning Emerald, but to no avail. Prime had reassured her that he would not harm her & that he only wanted to know where she & her sisters came from. Emerald knew that the only way she could communicate was via telepathy, but she wasn't about to let anyone know her secret. Prime was starting to become frustrated; which made Emerald nervous. She knew about the legendary Optimus Prime. He was the only robot that stood a chance against Megatron, so she knew full well how powerful that made him. Emerald didn't want to risk his anger, but she didn't want him to know her secret. About that time, Silverbolt entered the chambers. "Prime, let me talk to her. Maybe I can get her to talk." "Sure Silverbolt," Prime said. "Just keep me informed." "Sure thing, Optimus," he replied. When Optimus left the chamber, Silverbolt turned to Emerald & handed her an energn cube. She took a sip & felt the energy course through her circuits. She quickly drank the rest, dispite the warnings that Silverbolt gave her. She was so low on energy that just that one cube made her drunk. Silverbolt asked her a few questions, but she still didn't answer. Instead, she pointed at a stack of energon off in the corner.l Silverbolt handed her another cube which was quickly drank. After some more answerless questions & three more energon cubes, he had given up all hope. Besides; she appeared half online. He carried her over to the recharging unit to let her sleep. I wish she would talk to me, he thought. At least, that way, I could see what type of bot she is. Oh well, I better report to Optimus. Good night, beautiful. It was that last thought that broke her defenses about her telepathy. As he was walking to the chamber door she replied, "My sisters will come for me." Silver bolt was shocked to hear a voice in his head. He thought that he imagined it until he turned to see Emerald sitting up & smiling. It was a drunken smile, but a smile none the less. "What...d-did you??" he managed to studder. Emerald just laughed. Silverbolt felt giddy at the sound. She told him about how she & her sisters aririved on Earth, about their mission to destroy Megatron, & the search for their brothers. After she told her tale, he told her about how he & his brothers were created, the Great War of Cybertron, & the rebirth of Optimus Prime. They talked for a while longer to get to know each other better. Silverbolt found himself growing more & more attracted to her. Before he left, she mad him promise not to tell Prime about her telepathy. He promised, a bit reluctantly, & walked to the door. As it opened; she said, "My sisters are coming for me tomorrow. Please tell Prime not to harm them." "I promise, my love." The words spilling out of his mouth before he realized he said them. "Emerald smiled shyly & placed a thought n his head. He thought about it as he went to his chambers & lay on his recharging unit. He thought about it as his circuits started to go into shut down mode. "Good night, my heart". Her thought had said. He shut down with a smile on his face. The next morning, he told Prime all Emerald had told him. He didn't mention her telepathy, though. He also told Prime to expect an attack & of his promise not to hurt her sisters. Prime agreed, but put Metroplex on yellow alert.
Two Earth hours later, the Decepticons attacked. Galvatron said something about destroying Optimus Prime again, but Ruby wasn't paying attention. She was more concerned about her sister than Galvatron's ramblings. Galvatron told all of his combiners to merge. Ruby & her sisters were in awe. Not so musch so as when they first met Superion, but seeing Devastator, Menasor, Bruticus, Abominus, & Predaking; all at once, was enough to have anyone staring. The combiners started their attack. Ruby had Diamond sneak into the Autobot city to find their sister. Diamond found her with relative ease. Emerald was guiding her telepathically. When Emerald was free, she & Diamond began to head out of the city. When they got outside, Emerald was glad to see her sisters were okay. She knew that Silverbolt had kept his promise. Then she remembered the battle. She looked around & found Superion being overwhelmed by the Decepticon combiners. Her circuits ached because she knew that a transformer that she cared for could soon be destroyed. She felt her sisters pulling her, but she refused to move. Prime, realizing that Superion was no match for all the Decepticon combiners, ordered the Aerial bots to disengage. The Aerialbots did as ordered & fell back to Optimus' side. Prime then gave Metroplex the authority to transform. Galvatron knew that his forces wouldn't stand a chance against Metroplex. Without Tripnicon, the Decepticons would be easily defeated. Ruby & her sisters were beyond all emotions when they saw Metroplex. They heard Galvatron give the order to retreat & fled as quickly as they could behind the other Decepticons. EMerald wanted to stay & see if Silverbolt was okay, but she knew that her sisters would never appreciate her being with him. She did a telepathic check & found out he was a bit dented, but still operational. She sent him a mental "I love you." & was overjoied when he recipricated in kind. She only wished that her sisters would have joined the Autobots instead.
Back at Decepticon headquarters, Galvatron threw a party to welcome the five femmes to the Decepticon team. No one had seen Soundwave creep out the room to contact Shockwave on Cybertron. Shockwave was appalled that Galvatron let the females join them. Megatron would have atomized them, he thought. He told Soundwave that he knew how to get Megatron back, but he needed Galvatron on Cybertron to do so. Soundwave told Shockwave that Galvatron planned a trip to Cybertron in three Earth days. Shockwave was excited. The Slag Maker would soon be back to lead the Decepticons & Galvatron would be no more than a memory. The party ended late in the night hours. Ruby & her sisters retired to their quarters. They knew soon they would see their brother, but for now; they would sleep.
