As everyone was getting prepared for the very hyped show, View came into the room again with some news. "Before we get into this viewing, I brought a few more people into this" View said as Ruby and Nora bounced as they were excited who else would come.
The door came into the room again as everyone was curious about who was coming into the theatre with them.
The doors opened to as a few people entered the room, shocking a few of the people there as they knew some of the people there.
The people who entered the room were two Faunus, a man and a woman with feline eyes and looked similar to a certain member of team RWBY, next to them was an uninterested, tanned girl who didn't care for the situation, while also giving a few glances at Blake, There was also a woman in her twenties with blues eyes and blond hair, similar to someone else and with her was a woman who wore red glasses and a blue cardigan, while also holding hands with the other woman. In her arms was a toddler wearing suspenders and had a goofy grin.
"Mom! Dad!" Blake gasped with shock and surprise at the sight of her own parents.
"Hello dear!" Kali greeted with a smile on her face while her husband had a similar expression.
Blake then turned to her mother's side which really shocked her, her old friend Ilia Amitola
"I've also invited your old friend from the White Fang," View said.
"Under protest," Ilia muttered under her breath.
"Illa..." Blake said as she walked closer to her. "I...didn't think I'd see you again," Blake said in shock but was still happy to see her again.
"Well, I didn't expect you to be friends with a Schnee" Ilia remarked while sending a glare at the Heiress.
"Illa..." Blake tried to speak, but View came onto the scene.
"It took me a while, but we agreed to no fighting" View said as he gave Ilia a look. "And it still applies."
"This will be a good chance for everyone to get along with each other" View said.
"Indeed," Kali said. "It will be a good chance for us to catch up with each other and we can learn more about your friends and maybe your closest friends," Kali said as her daughter blushed at the implication.
"You're telling me!" Yang said in agreement. "It also gives me a chance to talk to Blakey's parents for some teasing info," Yang whispered to her little sister, who rolled her eyes at this.
Ruby then turned her view on the woman with blonde hair and found something oddly familiar about this woman. She walked up to her and greeted herself.
"Hi! I'm Ruby!" The red reaper introduced herself.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Saphron" The blonde woman introduced. "This is my wife, Terra," Saphron gestured, to which terra waved at Ruby. "And this is my little boy Adrian" Saphron introduced, as her son was smiling at Ruby, causing her heart to melt at the sight.
Ruby looked at the woman for a few seconds longer until she realized something, the bright blue eyes and the blonde hair were a giveaway. "Wait.," Ruby said until her eyes widen at the realization. "Your!"
Saphron just giggled at Ruby's reactions, as did her son. "Yes. I am Jaune's big sister!" Saphron said with a smile.
"Oh my god!" Ruby said in shock and happiness. "I can't believe I'm meeting one of Jaunes sisters!"
"Oh, I can tell you all the stories" Saphron smiled.
The rest of Team JNPR then came next to Ruby who also wanted to meet Jaune's sister. "It's a pleasure to meet you Saphron," Pyrrha said politely.
"So you must be my brother's team from Beacon," Sapphron said, to which they all nodded to.
"Let me guess," Saphron said. "Pyrrha. Ren. And Nora" Saphron said as she correctly pointed to each said member with her son mimicking her. "Jaune's told me all about his team," Saphron said.
The blonde then turned to Pyrrha. "He talks about you most of all, considering you two are partners" Sapphron grinned.
"Really!?" Pyrrha said in a controlled squeal, trying to keep her happiness from exploding.
"Yeah, and I'm really glad he has someone like you looking out for him," Saphron said sincerely. "Hope he hasn't been too much trouble"
"Oh no, Jaune really has been a pleasure to be around with," Pyrrha said with a smile, that also peaked Saphrons curiosity.
Nora would have teased Pyrrha but was too busy cooing at the baby in Saphrons arms.
"I'm surprised you okay with this" Ren said, surprised that Jaune's family was in too much shock.
"Well, it was a bit of a shock at first and it did take me and Ter a while to understand what was going on," Saphron said. "But we realised when Adrian started giggling, he wasn't all that bad"
"I just thought I was a bit intimidating to you two" View said.
"No offence, I've just dealt with a lot more terrifying people than you," Terra said with a smile.
View looked down when he heard this. "But I can do cool stuff..."
"And who knows, he might be a very nice partner for you Blake!" Kali teased, causing Blake to blush out of embarrassment from her mother.
"Mom!" Blake cried out in embarrassment, while Pyrrha shot her a concerned glare at the thought of her partner hooking up with someone else.
I never asked, what world are we seeing..." Saphron said, looking at View.
"Well, I explain it the rest but it'll be better for the rest of you to see then rather hear," View said.
Everyone took their seats as the world known as Cybertron was about to be shown before them all.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
6 REMNANT DAYS BEFORE FIRST CONTACT…
In the war-ravaged city of Iacon, the once-glorious capital of Cybertron, a lone truck was speeding through one of it's few still intact highways. It's red and blue chassis shined in the bright glimmer of the sun. Except this truck was not an It. It was a he, for the truck was a living being, its true form hiding behind the appearance of a vehicle. It was a robot in disguise and it was not just any robot.
"Giant robot fight! Giant robot fight!" Nora giggled in excitement at this, wither Ren trying to keep her steady.
"Living beings" Ghira breathed, as he was amazed by the thought.
This was Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, sworn protectors of the planet. He was driving toward the launch site of the Ark, a vast transport ship that's been retrofitted for deep-space travel. For whom was this ship built for? It was none other than most of the Autobot Army, at least those who had remained to fight after the initial planetary evacuations. But why choose now to leave; millions of years after most of the non-aligned Cybertronians had left?
"So who is this Optimus, he sounds like a wise leader," Ghria asked.
"Well in this world, he's Jaune" Blake explained, gaining the attention from Saphron and her wife.
"Jaune's, the leader in this world?" Saphron said in surprise.
"That he is," Pyrrha said with a smile.
"Well, I never thought of that" Saphron said before she started to smile for her little brother, knowing he had potential within him. But she was also worried at the thought that her brother was still fighting in a war.
She then felt the comforting grip from Terra and the happy gaze she got from Adrian.
It was Because Cybertron was dying. Their planet's core has shut down, cutting off the planet's supply of live-sustaining Energon, the fuel that powered both Cybertronians and their technology. Countless millennia of civil war had finally caused the greatest of casualties.
"Oh dear," Kali said, putting her hands together as she felt sorry for all those people on this dying planet.
Optimus Prime knew this would happen. He knew long before the war, back when he was just simple data clerk Orion Pax, that his world was diseased. He had believed the sickness to be the oppressive caste system that had kept his people enslaved to stagnancy. He saw the symptoms himself during his time archiving both historical documents and whatever holovids that appeared over the 24-cycle newsfeeds. The Energon supply was rapidly declining, the result of overconsumption. The Cybertronian birthrate steadily decreased, as a result, a futile effort by the council to delay the inevitable. That doesn't even compare to the systemic discrimination among the populace, where the higher classes looked down upon those beneath them. All of this was happening and he, only a powerless data clerk at the time, believed that he couldn't do anything about it.
"Sound about right," Qrow said, swinging his flask. "The high and rich don't like getting their hand dirty and would rather let the ones willing to risk it all to sacrifice their lives instead of doing it their own"
Winter would have corrected him on this, but couldn't help but agree with him to a point.
But then he met Megatron, the miner who understood the corruption of Cybertron, having been a victim of it. He was a philosopher who pondered the tragic past of their world and was able to predict the future that it created. He was a gladiator who found his strength in the battle pit and the chance for his voice to be heard. When he first met Megatron, Optimus thought that he had found a kindred spirit in the bot. They became friends and partners, fighting for the little people while watching the other's backs. They were brothers in all but spark.
"And who's Megatron?" Ilia asked, even though she found saying these names to be quite ridiculous.
"You should know," View said. "You work for him"
Ilia was confused at first until she knew it on the spot. "Adam?" Ilia asked to which View nodded to, causing Kali and Ghria to be worried at this new information.
Of course, this bond left the clerk blind to the hidden darkness within his friend. After that fateful council meeting, he finally saw Megatron's façade of a benevolent saviour finally begin to crumble. For all of his intent of changing the system, he also had an unbridled rage against those in power. Beneath that veneer of the repentant warrior-poet was a spiteful and petty psychopath. He was a cruel, hypocritical, and megalomaniacal tyrant. Megatron was a monster, pure and simple.
Ghira put his hands in his face. "I guess things aren't so different in these worlds after all" Ghira sighed, with Kali giving her husband a loving pat of comfort.
Blake looked on in concern for her father and wanted to be there, but couldn't as there were some said and unsaid things the last time she saw her parents.
Ilia herself felt something within her when she heard the description of her leader on screen. Normally, she would view these words as slurs and lies and she still thinks so. But she felt like she could learn more by watching this, even though it's from the perspective of a human.
And Optimus can't help but feel that he played a role in his fall. Perhaps, if he had seen the signs earlier, he could've steered his friend off the path to destruction. Maybe he could've prevented the civil war that destroyed their home. But he had been too late and Cybertron suffered as a result. Cybertron's death, which he fought so hard to prevent, had finally come, and the cause was the very mech who had wanted to save it.
"It can be very hard to live with such gilt such as that" Ozpin said.
"But Jaune couldn't have known what Adam was going to do," Ruby said as she felt bad to see her friend guilty.
"One can't often predict the actions of trusted one," Glynda said.
Feeling the guilt building up, Optimus increased his speed. He felt the impact of his metal tires against the rough and scarred metal of the highway, which only added to his frustration. What started as a solemn trek through the ruined city had become a guilt trip through memory lane, one that he definitely didn't need. He activates his internal navigation computer and reads that he is finally nearing his destination, a small observation deck overlooking the launch site.
Saphron sighed at this. Janue always had problems with this kind of thing. He always did take much of responsibility while growing up.
His internal transceiver beeps, signalling someone is hailing him. The signal indicates that it is Ironhide (Qrow), one of his lieutenants. He opens the line.
"Ironhide huh?" Qrow said to himself before giving a grin. "I like it"
"Ironhide to Optimus Prime, The last of the Energon reserves have been transferred to the Ark. Engines are Online, all systems go."
"Well, at least they're going to find a better place to live in," Velvet said with optimism in her voice.
"If they can get past Adam and his army," Weiss said.
Reaching the end of the highway, Optimus blasts himself into the air. With a single command, he transforms. Panels peel back, forcing his front wheels into the back of the windshield, which pushes out to form his chest, and the grill becoming his abdominals. Two powerful arms jut out from behind, with the Autobrand emblazoned upon the shoulders, sliding into place. The bed of the truck separates into two legs, collapsing underneath the chest and stomach. Finally, his head pops out, antenna, face mask, and all. He lands on the ground and stands, revealing his robotic body to the world.
"So cool!" Ruby and Nora gushed in awe as they both were amazed by the sight of Jaune and his robotic form.
From the observation platform, he sees the Ark, in its entire golden splendour.
"Nice work, Ironhide," He says before switching channels, "Perceptor (Oobleck), how goes the city shutdown procedures?"
He listens to his chief science officer, who was currently stationed within the central hub of the city, "Nearly finished Optimus. My team will have all systems powered off and archived by the time we launch."
"I can see where the name comes in," Ozpin said. "Oobleck does perceive things a lot quicker then most
"I'll give him this" Qrow said. "At least he talks all at once like he's on some type of speed dust," Qrow said.
"Indeed," Glynda said in agreement, as she would also try to keep up with her colleges' speed and thanked the gods that he was talking normally here.
Optimus smiles behind his facemask, "Good, I'll send the boarding call out, momentarily, but first-"
KA-BLAM!
"Whoa, what!" Nora said in shock as she got caught up in the sudden attack.
Sapphron was shocked at this as well while also covering her baby's ears who whimpered a little at the noise.
"Woah what!" Yang said in shock.
"His attacking..." Blake said grimly.
He looks up to see a vast explosion ripple across the Ark's defensive energy shield. To his left, he sees Jetfire (Velvet) at a computer terminal, frantically searching for the origin of the attack. The flyer's next words fill him with dread, "Optimus, Decepticons have broken through Sectors 9 through 12!"
"Damn it!" Coco said.
"It looks like Taurus is attacking their chances from ever leaving" Winter observed while growling at the terrorist attempts.
"But why?" Ruby questions. "The planet is dying and escaping is their only chance to make it out alive"
"Adam never has been the type to let go once things go down," Ghira said to the red reaper, who turned to him. "I may not know of their relationship, but Adam is doing this to make sure that this Jaune lad and his friends don't make it out, so they could bend to his will"
Ilia just sat there in silence at the words, not wanting to get into this conversation as she knew Adam was in the right, or at least that was what she thought.
Optimus' fists tighten in controlled anger. "That was Grimlock's (Cardin) post!"
Yang groaned in annoyance at this, as well as the other students. "Of course it's Cardin. No matter what world we saw of Jaune in it, Cardin's always the main jackass"
"And who is Cardin?" Illa asked.
"A jerk who bullies Jaune and Velvet," Ruby said with a frown.
"What?" Saphron said in controlled anger, immediately making a goal to find this Cardin and make his life a living hell.
Jetfire continues to report, "More Decepticon squadrons approaching from the north and west!"
"Also, Jetfire," Coco said while turning to her partner." Not a bad name for you, Bun-Bun"
Velvet smiled at this. "Thanks, it's a cool name, but I prefer Velvet"
"And I'm sure Jaune does~" Coco grinned, causing Velvet to blush, Pyrrha giving a heated glare and Saphron giving and surprised look.
"It looks like Jaune has a few admirers" Terra smiled.
A sudden blast knocks both Autobots to their knees. As they regained their bearings, the voice of Ratchet (Taiyang) blares through Optimus' receivers. "Optimus, Decepticons have invaded the city! We need you at the fortress to help coordinate defences."
"Dad?" Ruby said with surprise and was worried at the thought of her dad dying in this war.
"Don't worry, Miss Rose" View said. "In this world, your father is a medic, helping out the injured." View informed, causing Ruby and Yang to sigh in relief
"Sounds just like him," Qrow remarked, though he was glad to know his best friend was doing well in this world. "Not sure about the name though"
He replies, "We're on our way, Ratchet!"
Jetfire immediately transforms into Jet mode, blasting off into the sky to join the aerial defence. Optimus sprints toward the edge of the platform, stopping at the ledge, standing before some broken railing. From his position, he surveys the landscape. His optics sees that the city's automated defences have already joined in the defence, with squads of Autobots serving as protection against ground attack. He kneels down for cover and opens the communications line to Sector 9.
"Grimlock- do you read me? Grimlock..!" He hears static on the other end, "Bah, no answer."
"Why was this Cardin not at the post?" Winter asked as she was disappointed with the said boy as a soldier should never leave his or her post.
"Most likely he was too chicken shit" Yang retorted.
"Yeah!" Nora said in agreement. "And he doesn't deserve that cool name"
Where was Grimlock? That was the one thought running through Prime's head. He and the commander of the LSC (Lightning Strike Coalition) may have had their disagreements on how the war should be fought, But Grimlock was as loyal to the cause as any other Autobot. He would never desert or betray them to the Decepticons.
"At least Mister Winchester still fights for peace, even though he does of his own volition," Ozpin said
"Yeah. But Lighting Strike Coalition?" Ruby said as saying the very name made her cringe as it was that bad.
"That is the most terrible name I've ever heard of," Weiss said.
"Yeah, I mean who thinks a name like "Lighting Strike Coalition" is a good name," Yang said in agreement.
He looks to his left to see that a Path Blaster propped against the railing. He picks it up, the weapon integrating itself into his right arm.
Ruby slightly drooled when she saw that gun merged with Jaunes arm. "Oh, I want to make weapons come out of my body," Ruby thought as she continued to stare on screen.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his optics, a large object appears, crashing into one of the automated defence cannons, immediately destroying all the Autobots within its vicinity. A cloud of dust and debris kicks up, blind the Prime for a few seconds. When the dust clears, he sees a new structure standing where the cannon once was. The structure transforms, folding in on itself, with the booster becoming a cannon itself.
Optimus recognizes it immediately, "Warp Cannons?! Megatron isn't holding anything back this time!"
"Just how bad are these things?" Saphron asked, worried about her brother.
"Judging by the size of that thing, it could take down an entire village if it wanted to" Qrow speculated.
The Warp Cannon takes aim, building up energy, before releasing a concentrated blast of purple energy. Following the trajectory of the blast, Optimus watches as it lands on the Ark, which he realizes is the target of this attack.
"Is it gonna take down the Ark?" Ruby asked with worry.
"Not in the first round" Winter answered. "It seems to be taking down its shields. It would take more time to take the ship down entirely"
Jumping off the platform, he transforms back into vehicular mode. Switching to overdrive, he fires all thrusters and starts speeding his way to the base, hoping to make a shortcut by using the overpass bridge connecting sectors 1 and 2. Cutting through the debris field, he finds himself right in the centre of the battle.
"Optimus, the bridge is out!" Jetfire warns over the comm. Channel.
So much for that shortcut, Optimus bitterly thinks.
"Man, the universe is not on vomit boy's side when it wants to be" Yang commented.
Sapphron was confused by this nickname until she remembered her brother's motion sickness.
"Keep Going, Jetfire!" Optimus ordered, "I'll find another way!"
Continuing on his path, Optimus picked up the pace. Along with his route, he aids any and all Autobots, either providing cover fire or running over any 'Cons unlucky to get in his way. He was like a metallic fist on wheels, one with guns. After taking many turns, he comes across an untouched path, located in the hollowed out ruins of one of the city's fallen towers. He fires two missiles, destroying the wall of debris that blocked his path through it.
"Hell yeah!" Yang pumped her fist up
"Miss Xiao Long!" Glynda reprimanded.
Adrian looked in awe at his uncle on screen. Even though he was an infant, he was smart enough to know that it was him on screen and was happy seeing his uncle save the day and stop the bad guys.
"Ratchet, I found a route through the Iacon ruins. I'm heading for the Auxiliary entrance!" He relays to the Medic.
"Roger that, Prime!"
Optimus starts his trek through the ruins. He fires upon any blockade that would impede him, never slowing down. He soon finds his way onto another road, continuing his journey to the base. Hopefully, there would still be a base to enter.
MEANWHILE, AT THE BASE'S AUXILIARY ENTRANCE…
Near the entrance, a small squad of Autobots has already taken defensive positions. But not just any squad, it was Team Prime, the personal squad of their leader. One of them, a lithe and blue-colored femme named Arcee (Blake), sprints forward, using her arm blades to decapitate a 'Con that had dared to charge her position. She slides to cover behind a fallen pillar, narrowly avoiding some stray energy blasts.
"Wow, Blake looks like your in this too" Yang grinned while giving her partner a light nudge while Blake just looked at her counterpart.
"Arcee? not a bad name I suppose" Blake mused.
"Huh, she doesn't look too bad," Ilia said with also giving a small blush.
"Hold this Position! Do not give these Fraggers a single inch!" Arcee cries over the chaos, blasting her arm cannons before taking cover again.
"Langague, Balke!" Kali said in a teasing tone.
"Mom, that wasn't me who said it," Blake said.
"Doesn't mean you should copy what she said," Kali said, annoying Blake more.
"I really like your mom, Blake," Yang said with a grin, causing Blake to groan even more.
The Decepticons were being relentless in this endeavor and ruthless in execution; they were going to push their way into Iacon, regardless of how many bodies they'd have to throw at them. The typical Decepticon battle strategy: Suppress the enemy with overwhelming numbers and firepower, regardless of whatever losses they would suffer. It didn't matter to Megatron how many of his soldiers would die. For every Decepticon killed, he can just send ten more in their place. It was a cruel strategy, one of extreme callousness and barbarism. She detested it with all of her being.
Ghira sighed in disappointment at this, Adam was always the one who pushed for violence way too far.
Blake's fist clenched at this. Just hearing about how Adam views his men as expendable was enough to make her blood boil.
Ilia's eyes widen at this. Hearing how this version of Adam was willing to let so many of his people die. She then thought if the version in her world would do an action like this.
A purple energy blast sails over her head, crashing into the chest of Silverbolt (Neptune), the Leader of the Aerialbots, who had been cut off from his teammates in the initial assault. Though Arcee surmised he simply kept to the ground because of his Acrophobia, despite it not being as much of a problem it once was.
Weiss gasped in shock at this and covered her mouth. "Oh god"
Ruby then did her best to comfort her partner. "It's okay Weiss," Ruby said in a calming tone.
"How can you tell?" Weiss asked with a few tears in her eyes, as she didn't want to see him die on screen.
"Because Neptune wouldn't be in charge of Jaune's air force and wouldn't have a cool name like Silverbolt for nothing," Yang said, giving Weiss a little hope.
In other circumstances, she would found the irony funny. The irony is that the Commander of the Autobot's Air Defense Team, whose very vehicle mode was a jet, had a Primus-damned fear of heights!
"Bulk, Silverbolt been hit! Get him to the Med-bay!" She shouted to her friend Bulkhead (Yatsuhashi), a green, gentle giant of an Autobot.
"See Weiss, Our big guy is going to save your boyfriend no to time flat," Coco said.
Weiss smiled at the fashionista at this and mentally reminded herself to thank her when the time was right.
Bulkhead nodded, scooping the injured Aerialbot in his arms, and then sprinted back into the base. Arcee covered their retreat, blasting any Decepticons that dared aim at them. She was not going to let the 'Cons kill any more of her friends. Never again, especially after what happened to her partner Tailgate (Ilia). She would gladly give her own life, if it meant that her friends would live. This is what she promised herself, after losing so many comrades. It was her duty as an Autobot to safeguard life, even if it meant losing her own.
Blake was silent when she heard this, she knew this was a war and many people died during it, but was still saddening to hear none the less.
Illa had wide eyes when she heard this. Been in an organisation like the White Fang, especially now, this wouldn't factor in. She gave a glance at Blake and her team. This gave the Faunus a few thought to this.
An explosion sends her flying from her position, knocking her against the wall. Shell-Shocked, she feels the world slow around her. Looking around, she watches many things happen at once.
Blake's parents were on edge, not prepared to see their girl on the battle and wouldn't know how to react if anything else happened to her, despite this being a different world then theirs.
The Decepticons were charging into the area in droves, slaughtering any Autobots unfortunate to get caught within their sights. She watches Brawn (Sage) try and help one of their damaged comrades, only to be shot in the back and explode, tragically taking the other bot with him. She couldn't do anything but watch as her former drill-instructor Kup (Port) comforts Tracks (Coco), whom was screaming in agony, having lost both of his legs.
Velvet was in tears to see her partner in this state, but was comforted by Coco who had no words for her counterpart on screen.
She watches Hound (Fox) empty his Proton blaster into the charging 'Cons, only to run out of Ammunition. The cold, hard truth hit her instantly. They were the five words every Autobot dreaded.
They were going to die.
Everyone in the room held their breaths at her words, hoping that their were something, anything to get them out of this.
"Please..." Kali quietly said to herself "Someone help them...help her."
She closes her optics and waits for the inevitable. She did her duty, and she did it well. Her only regret was not saving enough of her friends.
Then a voice cries out over her Comm. Frequency, as well as those of her comrades. It was a very deep baritone that they all knew very well. And it spoke the five words that every Autobot hoped for.
"Autobots, I'm on my way!"
"Yes!" Pyrrha said quietly but was enough to be heard by a few.
Whatever hopelessness she felt immediately disappears, replaced by a renewed resolve. It was a feeling shared by everyone, steeling themselves for what could be their final stand. Kup hoisted Tracks with his left arm, holding his blunder blaster with his right. Tracks, despite the agony he was in, levelled his blaster as well. Hound simply held his rifle upright with both of his hands, wielding it like a club.
Winter smiled at this. Even those these soldiers were at the end of their rope, they kept fighting nonetheless.
Seconds pass before a great explosion erupts behind the Decepticon lines. The Autobots watch as several 'Cons were sent flying, as though something big was launching them upward with great force. The Decepticon formation shatters, with many soldiers scrambling to safety in fear of being the next to fall.
"Oh yeah!" Nora cried out in excitement, jumping out her seat. "Give those Decepti-Creeps what for!"
Terra leaned over to her wife. "Jaune has some interesting friends, doesn't he?"
Saphron just giggled at this. "That he does, Ter," Saphron said as she watched the antics from Team JNPR, making her want to know more about them.
Ramming straight through the line was none other than Optimus Prime. The few Decepticons who didn't run took aim at the Autobot leader, firing off disparate blasts of energy. Optimus activates his forward boosters, propelling him into the air, dodging the coming shots. He transforms in mid-air, taking his Path Blaster out and firing on the Hapless 'Cons. Using his limited hover-jets, Optimus steadily descend down to his Autobots, taking down more enemies during his descent. Planting himself between the defenders and 'Cons, Optimus takes a defensive stance, becoming his soldier's shield as he blasted away at any who dare cross his path.
"Damn, who knew that Jaune could make a badass entrance!" Yang cheered on for her fellow blonde in action, also really glad he was able to save her partner in the process. "Man, remind me to give vomit boy a kiss when we see him."
"Never!" Pyrrha and Velvet screamed internally at this. "He's mine!"
Over the drumming of his gun, He loudly shouts out, "Autobots fall back and regroup inside the base! I'll cover your retreat and meet you inside"
The defence team wastes no time and immediately begins retreating, picking up any wounded Autobots along the way. As they were entering the base, Optimus slowly steps back, holding true to his promise as he nears the entrance. The Prime eventually reaches the entrance, entering the service tunnel that leads to base and closes the blast-shielded gate, denying the enemy the chance to march right in.
Deactivating his weapon, Optimus breathes deeply. He looks over his soldiers, all of whom were nursing their wounds or thanking the Creator that they were saved. Optimus smiles behind his faceplate. He saved as many as he could but still mourns for those that he couldn't.
"Mr Arc is leading quite well despite the circumstances," Glynda said while Ozpin watches on.
"Indeed he is," Ozpin said. "I imagine when he finishes his training at Beacon, he might become a great leader like he is here"
Clearing his voice-box, he gets their attention.
"You all fought well. You held position and didn't give up, for that, I am very proud of you all. Return to headquarters and Rest, Autobots. You all deserve it." He said, saluting them all, which they reciprocated.
Transforming back to vehicle mode, Optimus immediately sped off. While he had entered the base's entrance, he still had the access tunnel to travel through.
"Ratchet, have Warpath (Nora) get a response team ready and meet me at the armoury." He ordered over the communications channel.
"Warpath?" Nora said to herself before grinning. "I gotta a good feeling about that name"
"I don't," Ren said.
The medic responded quickly, "Will do!"
Jetfire cut into the feed stating, "One thing for sure. Megatron's timing is as lousy as ever."
At that statement, Optimus thought aloud, "Why didn't Grimlock warn us?"
"There has to be a reason for this" Blake said
"Probably to save his own skin" Ilia muttered.
Within seconds, he finally reached the end of the tunnel, finding himself at the main entrance. To his relief, The Autobrand hologram is still transmitting over the wall, showing that the Autobots were still in control. He approaches the entrance, only to stop when the room is flooded by red lights. It was the security system run by Teletraan-1, the supercomputer that operated the base. It was to be transferred over to the Ark before its launch, but Megatron's sudden attack cancelled that plan.
Two laser turrets took aim at him, and a computerized voice echoed, "HALT, SCANNING IDENTITY!"
The Security system promptly scanned the room, running an ID laser scan over the room and its sole occupant. After a few seconds, the red lights quickly fade out, with the turrets deactivating.
"IDENTITY CONFIRMED. WELCOME, OPTIMUS PRIME."
"We should get a security system as that" Nora suggested.
"I think we have things covered," Pyrrha said.
"but what if we..." Nora tried to say but was stopped by her secret love.
"You just want big weapons at our doors" Ren concluded.
"It would be awesome!" Nora shouted.
The security gates slide open, revealing two Autobot guards.
"It's Optimus Prime!" One of them shouted joyously.
The other one simply told him, "Ratchet is waiting for you, Optimus."
Brushing past the two, but not without giving them a thankful nod, The Autobot leader finally entered the base. Walking down the corridors, he thanked Primus that the security system was still online. A gate opens before him, revealing the central hub of Autobot operations. The area was abuzz with activity, as soldiers scurried about performing their duties, whether it was treating the wounded, repairing the base, running ammunition to the front lines, or just joining the battle itself. It was hard to believe that this army was once just an undisciplined group of inexperienced civilians with no real combat experience. Optimus had Ironhide, Kup, and Ultra Magnus (Ironwood) to thank for training them.
"Huh, how about that, Ironwood working for that Jaune kid," Qrow said.
Winter kept herself calm at Qrow's sarcastic comment.
A wounded soldier, whose abdominals were sparking and spilling Energon, shambles over to Optimus, tightly grasping his arms like a lifeline, as though he were begging for forgiveness.
"Oh good lord" Kali gasped. "Poor soul looks half dead"
"Optimus, we tried our best…" The soldier says before adding, "But without Grimlock, Megatron rolled right over us!"
The soldier collapses into Prime's arms, and he consoles the poor mech. "Easy there, soldier."
A small, yellow robot takes the soldier in his arms, gently leading him away to the corner to treat his wounds. This is Bumblebee (Ruby), the Autobot's best scout and one of its youngest members.
"See Ruby you're in this too!" Yang said while Ruby watched in excitement.
"Cool! but Do I really have to be named after your bike?" Ruby said while Yang gave her a look of disbelief.
"What's wrong with the name of my bike!?" Yang said putting her hands on her hips, waiting for an answer.
"Umm," Ruby mumbled, trying to think of a good reason.
He was also the newest member of Team Prime. While young and inexperienced, he was also one of the kindest and most compassionate Autobots to ever wear the Autobrand. It warmed Prime's spark seeing the young bot. He considered the young bot as the closest thing he has to a son, as the organics would say.
"Thank you, Bumblebee."
The yellow bot whirred and buzzed in response. Optimus frowns hearing those sounds. He had never forgiven himself for what happened to Bumblebee. He had tasked the young scout with locating a Decepticon base, only to be caught by none other than Megatron. Recognizing him as one of Prime's favoured soldiers, the Decepticon leader tortured him, so as to send a message to his enemy. Bumblebee survived, but Megatron crushed his voice-box, taking his ability to speak. But that didn't deter Bumblebee, who kept his positive attitude despite everything.
Ruby was shocked to the core by this, not being able to speak ever. It was something she wasn't sure that would happen.
Yang clenched her knuckles so hard, blood was nearly drawn, wishing that at some point during this viewing, Jaune would do far worse to Adam
Qrow had a similar feeling to his niece and wanted to see the bastard taken down.
Blake felt guilty as hell when she heard this. She turned to her leader. "Ruby I'm..."
"It's okay, Blake." Ruby stopped. "It wasn't you who did it," Ruby said with a smile.
Optimus moves on, leaving Bumblebee to care for the injured bot. He continues on his way toward the armoury, but he'll need to speak with Ratchet first. His old friend can only be in the med-bay, as fitting a surgeon turned medic. Reaching a corner, Optimus turns and makes his way up a flight of stairs. The sound of something being crushed stops him.
"BULKHEAD, I NEEDED THAT!"
'Well, I guess I found Ratchet,' thought Optimus.
"Tai can get really picky when it comes to his equipment," Qrow said.
"Especially with his Mr Fix it" routine he goes through," Glynda said, rubbing her temples when she remembered when he offered to fix the computer systems back in Beacon.
"By the way, we still need to discuss the payment terms for damages he caused in our database," WInter said to Glynda as she to dealt with Tai's meddling.
Turning on his heel, Optimus found the Med-bay. The floors were running violet with spilt Energon, and various Autobots recuperating on many repair slabs. He sees Ratchet, currently chewing out Bulkhead for damaging his equipment, while the lovable lug just stood there taking the verbal assault.
"Yeah, the big guy can get a little clumsy sometimes," Coco said.
He also sees Silverbolt leaning on Ratchet for Support, and his chest is sparking violently and leaking copious amounts of Energon.
Weiss held in her breath and prayed that the blue-haired boy would make it out of this situation.
As though sensing his presence, the medic ceases his tirade and beckons Prime over. Optimus sprints over, reaching his friends.
"Ratchet, how can I help?" He asks, taking hold of the wounded Aerialbot.
Together, the two help the patient onto the operating table, with Ratchet calmly explaining, "Silverbolt's leaked too much Energon. We need to stabilize his power."
Ratchet points up, "Grab that cable!"
Looking up, Optimus sees the cable in question. It was an Energon transfusion cable. He grabs it and following the doctor's instructions, plugs it into Silverbolt's power supply. But just as the cable makes contact, the generator blows a fuse. The lights fade out.
"I NEEDED THAT!" Ratchet cries out angrily.
As if the universe was listening, the lights return, signalling that the power was back. The ET cable starts funneling Energon into Silverbolt, saving the bot's life.
"Oh thank god!" Weiss breathed out and thanked Jaune and Taiyang for saving his life.
Optimus smiles, "Well met, Ratchet."
"Thank Primus." Ratchet sighs in relief, "I'll handle the rest, Optimus. I'm sure you're needed elsewhere."
Thanking Ratchet, The Autobot leader makes way for the Armory. Exiting the Med-Bay, he enters the corridor leading to his destination. Suddenly an explosion rocks the base, causing parts of the ceiling to collapse. He makes it out unharmed but sees that an Autobot trapped under a broken column. He rushes over and is surprised to see Bumblebee's cast-brother Cliffjumper (Yang) already at the bot's side.
"Hold on, Soldier, I'll get you out!" Cliffjumper reassures the panicking bot, trying to lift the giant slab of debris off him.
"Looks like I'm saving the day as well" Yang grinned. "and my name isn't that bad, even red isn't much of my colour"
Optimus steps forward and takes hold as well. Cliffjumper looks to his leader and is elated to see that he was giving him a helping hand.
The Prime nods to the little red bot, "Together now."
With their combined strength, the two lift the column off their fellow Autobot. Cliffjumper thanks Optimus for his help. His leader resumes on his path toward the armoury. Turning a corner, Optimus sees another Autobot, but not just any Autobot.
This one was an old friend from his days as Orion Pax. In fact, for a time, this mech was literally the clerk's best and only friend. They had met when the bot was working as an off-world explorer, often bringing in reports of organic worlds that he observed. This bot loved his work, often enjoying the unique cultures he would discover. On one planet he discovered new types of music, and came to love one genre in particular. He loved it so much, he named himself after it. His name was Jazz (Flynt), the cool and collected second-in-command of the Autobots.
"Who's he?" Ruby asked.
"A guy from one of the teams competing for the Vytal festival" Blake answered.
"I think the names suits him well," Pyrrha said.
"Is everything okay, Boss-bot? Jazz asks.
"We've got this covered, Jazz." Optimus answered before telling him, "Grimlock abandoned his post. I need you to find him!"
"Then I'll be on my way, then!" Jazz says, grinning like a mad-bot as he activated his grappling hook. Walking over to an opening looking over the shuttle area, Jazz shoots the hook, rappelling down next to a shuttle being prepared.
Despite himself, Optimus chuckles then shout out, "Show-off!
Jazz hears his leader and shouts back, "You know me, Prime. If it isn't worth doing with style…"
"Then it's not worth doing at all!" Optimus finishes.
"Damn right," Coco said with a grin.
"Hopefully they'll find out what happens to Cardin and understand why he left" Ren said.
With Jazz preparing for his mission, Optimus resumes his trek toward the armoury. Reaching the ramp leading down to it, he sees many Autobots marching toward the armoury as well. He moves forward, but then a blast of debris shoots over him. Optimus continues moving undeterred, having handled much worse earlier today.
A lumbering red bot comes into view, and he sees that it is Warpath. Warpath was among the more eccentric of his Autobots. A former student at the Polyhex War Academy, Warpath dropped out when the City-State aligned itself with the Decepticons. He joined the Autobots immediately after, quickly rising through the ranks to becoming a platoon commander. He also had this odd quirk of inserting odd onomatopoeia like "BLAM!" or "POW!" whenever he got too excited for a fight. It actually seems fitting that his vehicle mode was a tank. Optimus found his personality to be quite endearing.
"Sounds just about right," Weiss said as Nora was in awe at this version of herself.
The same can't be said for his unhealthy obsession with breaking legs.
"Optimus," Warpath says, "I was looking for Grimlock."
Optimus asks him, "Warpath, give me a status update."
Walking together, Warpath explains the current situation, "Perceptor and a bunch of tech-heads are trapped inside the nerve centre at the south gate. I'm gathering a rescue team."
"Count me in," Optimus said.
"Oh yeah! me and fearless leader are going to save a bunch of nerds!" Nora cheered.
"Nora please" Ren sighed.
"Then you might want to gear up at the Teletraan terminal," Warpath instructs.
Optimus approaches the terminal, plugging himself into the mainframe. He quickly makes upgrades his Path Blaster. Making his way into the armoury, he sees a large group of Autobots gathering at the gate, with Warpath speaking to his soldiers.
"Autobots, we are about to enter a target-rich environment!"
He sees Optimus and asks, "You want the honours, Optimus?"
Optimus grins, "It's your show, Warpath."
Warpath continues speaking, "Listen up! We've got 'Cons right outside this door. When the door opens, we go out HARD! You WILL engage the enemy with guns blazing and gears grinding!"
The troops shouted, "Yes, Sir!"
"And aim for their Knee Joints! BLAM, POW!" The excitable Tank gleefully exclaims.
The gate begins to open. Soon the Battle of Iacon will be joined. Optimus prays that they can pull through this.
The screen turned off as people had thoughts to this.
"So what did you guys think of this"
"It was okay," Ilia said plainly, not wanting to show any indication on how she saw this viewing.
"Will there be more of this?" Kali asked.
"They'll be two more viewings" View answered. "But for now, we'll stick with the next stories in line," View said as he left the area.
Well, I'm glad I'm here" Saphron smiled." I can't wait to know my baby brothers friends"
"Oh, the stories we could tell you" Yang grinned.
Thanks for reading this chapter of Worlds of Arc. I'm glad I took the advice of Nacoma23 and brought Blake's family, Ilia and Jaunes sister and her family into this.
I would also like to thank Nacoma23 for providing the chapter itself while I added the reactions.
First off, sorry for no Christmas based chapters in this story as of yet, I was a bit busy with other things. I'll try and put some in next year.
Next chapter...well, he's known as the King of Games, bitch.
