Chapter 9: Election Day
A week later after the debate, the polling stations are set up and voting is starting. Prowl is guarding the CCD along with Hoist, Inferno, and Red Alert. Red Alert tells Prowl that guard duty is very boring and that they would rather be voting but Prowl says "We'll vote tomorrow. All guard duty bots are supposed to do vote tomorrow." and Red Alert says "Ugh, fine." but suddenly they get a transmission from Mirage in the Autobot Command Tower, saying "Prowl! There's a brawl around a mile from you! You're team's the closest so handle it! Mirage out!" and he leaves the transmission. Prowl says "Ugh, ok Hoist stay behind. Red Alert and Inferno, come with me. Autobots, transform and roll out!" and they head out. While driving, Inferno asks "Hey Prowl, you think these guys are cons, bots or neutrals?" and Prowl responds, saying that it's probably neutrals or cons." and a few minutes later they arrive. Prowl, Inferno and Red Alert get through the crowd that is watching and when they get to the front, Red Alert goes to them and says "Ok guys calm down now. No need to fight-" but suddenly he almost gets punched but realizes its a hologram. Red Alert is shocked and Prowl checks the security cams in the CDD and it's been overrun by neutrals. They quickly head back and a few minutes later, they see Hoist on the ground, bleeding energon. Prowl tells Inferno to bring him to the nearest medical center and Red Alert with Prowl go inside to see a few bots hacking the system to make Ratbat win. They see they're Decepticons. One of them talks to the other and says "Hey Static, you done yet? And Static says "Not done yet Trapmouth. Now please, be quiet." and a third bot speaks, saying "Yeah Trapmouth, shut your traphole." and Trapmouth says "Shut up Whipclap!". They argue for a bit then Prowl jumps on Trapmouth and Whipclap says "No! It's Prowl!" and opens fire but Red Alert quickly apprehends Whipclap and now Static is surrounded. He surrenders and fixes the system at Prowl's request. A few hours later they get arrested by the new CPF arrests the three and Inferno comes back with Hoist who is safe and sound.
2 days after that incident, the results are in and Ultra Magnus is on stage and is about to reveal the voting percentage for every candidate for Ruler of Cybertron. Ultra Magnus says "At last place, we have Ratbat who got 10% of the votes" and Ratbat is shocked at his placement. Ultra Magnus then says "At third place, we have me, who got 15% of the votes. After me, at second place, is Soundwave who finished with 25% of the votes." and Soundwave punches the ground, enraged. "Now, finally, the new Ruler of Cybertron, with 50% of the votes, is, Shockblock!" and everyone is shocked at the results. Shockblock replaces Ultra Magnus at the podium and says "As my first act as the new Ruler of Cybertron, I welcome to our planet, The Decepticon Empire!". Shockblock unmasks himself, revealing he isn't Shockblock and actually Starscream! Suddenly a huge spacebridge opens from orbit, and outcomes Trypticon, landing on the ground with four combiners saying "Destructor!", "Devastator!", "Menasor!" and "Bruticus!" and the Phase Sixers come out, along with a thousand fleets, full of Decepticons!
