The AutoBot Kamen Rider Chapter 13
Here you go part two of the Unicron Arc
Also short chapter due to lack of interest. Get over it.
I own nothing.
:Last Time:
Raf and Starfire were infected with dark Energon after Megatron attacks Bumblebee en route to a military base holding the necessary power source for the Decepticon's Space Bridge. Optimus goes to battle Megatron only for Unicron to awaken and saturate the area around the volcano with the power of Dark Energon.
:Chapter Start:
Shortly after Optimus was defeated by Megatron-Dark Energon Volcano
Hummingbird sped through the area as the Decepticons started mining the Dark Energon in the area. Hummingbird sped into the area as the Decepticons appeared to freeze as Hummingbird found a cubic box large enough to hold a metric ton of Dark Energon, where HummingBird could only carry one, so he did. HummingBird rushed forward and stole a single cube of Dark Energon before speeding away to the closest MECH base.
Autobot Outpost Omega One-Moments after the revelation of Unicron.
June was examining Raf and Starfire for injuries from being cured of the Dark Energon using an infusion of Energon, both of which can be deadly on their own. To the side Optimus and the other Autobots were discussing what to do about Unicron with Steinbelt checking planetary feeds for evidence of Unicron or if anyone discovered the mining operation happening at the volcano. Jack and Miko were with the bots trying to find a human element to help the bots.
Ratchet spoke, "The data Professor Steinbelt has given us has allowed me to locate Unicron's spark chamber, unfortunately the crystal formations the Professor mentioned have become Dark Energon. The quantities are too much for a normal human even shielded to guide us from where I can even ground bridge to the core. Which would have to remain open to keep communications to guide you."
Jack then comments, "Which depending on the defences of Unicron's spark and if they are like a humans then whatever equates to white blood cells could swarm through the portal."
Optimus was silent before speaking with an even tone, "We cannot risk this plan at this time. The Dark Energon in the area would gradually weaken us all and I expect it to take an extended time to convince Unicron to stay within the core."
Jack was quiet in thought before Miko comments, "Do you need to go to the core to speak to him or is that even possible?"
Jack crossed his arms at that when Fowler's voice was heard from the Communication system, "Prime! We just had thirteen earthquakes at the same moment as that volcano that went off in the pacific. Sending details to you now," Jack was the first to the terminal opening the file showing where the epicentres of the earthquakes occurred only to front as Fowler continued, "I am on route now to the base. But according to our weather satellites indicate that we are expecting freak weather formations. It snowed all over Australia an hour ago."
Jack frowns while Steinbelt using his programming to identify the cause of the Earthquakes only to prove the theory and Jack to say, "The starting point of the Earthquakes was the core."
Fowler then spoke, "Look one of Shield's science teams went to one of the sites and discovered an abundance of materials not common to the area. Though when harvesting some samples the area started forming a large stone Cybertronian. The team escaped quickly and have cordoned off the area." The coordinates were sent to the computers at the base before Fowler asks, "What is going on?"
"Unicron," Optimus states, "We believe that Unicron, an Ancient Cybertronian was sealed in your planet when it was first formed."
"Then where is he so then we can give him a going away bomb as a present?" Fowler question.
"We believe that he was what formed your planet and his destruction or removal while destroy Earth," Optimus states.
"I am ten minutes out," Fowler states with a shocked look on his face, "Then you will explain everything," before he cut the connection from his helicopter.
June spoke, "Dad, how bad is the weather formations?"
Steinbelt simply says, "Fifteen minutes before extended travel would prove far too dangerous. At this time though the base is the most secure and safe from possible attacks."
"What about Jasper?" June questioned.
"The shift cars are already their ensuring people's safety, June, and I have broadcasted a state of emergency stating everyone to stay in their homes until the solar flares die down," Steinbelt states confusing everyone, "It was the most convincing cover up I could convince the world with. They think that a solar flare came close but hit the moon during the eclipse and only grazed Earth's magnetic field, temporarily messing with the weather."
Optimus nods before going over the details, "We will split up, Arcee and Bulkhead will go to one location while Bumblebee and myself will visit another of the Epicentres." With that the Autobots quickly went to get the equipment they would need for this mission. Optimus then focused on Jack and spoke, "Jack may I speak with you in private." Jack nods and the two walked over to the side away from everyone. Optimus then pulled out what appeared to be a metal chip that was clearly Cybertronian in construction. It shrank to human size as Optimus kneeled and says, "I would like you to have this."
Jack accepted the chip and asks, "What is it?"
"It is the security key to the Ground Bridge to ensure that classified locations are not visited without that key. Please hold onto it," Optimus stands and walks away leaving Jack with a large responsibility, that he did not really understand as he looked at the Security Key carefully.
Jack's one thought on this was, 'What is he not telling me.'
Jack returned to the group even placing Steinbelt around his waist just in case. Bulkhead and Arcee had already left to check the first location before the Ground Bridge was opened again for Optimus and Bumblebee. Jack went over to Tridoron and opened the glove compartment to find a couple miniature lazyboy chairs and television, the whole compartment looking like a man cave for shift cars. What made it worst was the fact that Justice Hunter, Max Flare and Funky Spike were inside relaxing. Jack shakes his head before placing the Security Key inside and closing the glove compartment, where inside a cavity was Type Wild, which Steinbelt was using to scan the apparent security key.
Jack walked over to Raf who was now sitting up and feeling a lot better, was now using his computer to ensure that the cover up was put into play with Agent Fowler contacting Shield to ensure that they understood the situation. Miko was seen speaking with Starfire who was still feeling tired, while June was calling the Hospital informing them she can't make it in due to a medical emergency. Jack went over to Ratchet and asks, "How is everything looking?"
Ratchet simply says, "All indications, indicate that Unicron has yet to move again since his morning stretch as Agent Fowler called it. Arcee has already contacted us stating nothing out of the ordinary other then the mineral deposits growing at the locations along with spreading. The sensors at previous mines have started generating an Energon signal again, only dark Energon."
Jack frowns before commenting, "Then we may not have enough time before Humans and Cybertronians would be unable to stay on Earth." Ratchet nods at the grave news.
Ratchet frowns before stating, "Optimus may attempt to convince Unicron to go back to sleep. I doubt that it would work."
Jack nods before commenting, "Unless you tell him what he wants to hear." Ratchet looked to Jack in confusion before Jack asks, "What is Unicron?"
Ratchet frowns before stating, "He is the ultimate enemy of Primus, who became the core of Cybertron."
"And Cybertron has gone dark, wouldn't he count that as destroyed or dead?" Jack questioned fearing if he was wrong.
Ratchet was silent, knowing the prophecy, the weak would not survive. Ratchet spoke, "I do not know," there was nothing in the prophecy to stop the coming darkness.
Optimus contacted base with details of his site before commenting that Unicron was making an appearance and left his communicator on as the two spoke. Bumblebee even mentioning that Optimus was kneeling to Unicron. Unfortunately Optimus' plan to convince Unicron ultimately failed due to one fact, he was a Prime. Bumblebee reported that Unicron made an army of himself to destroy Optimus. Ratchet contacted Arcee and Bulkhead to return while Jack shouts, "Henshin!" and rushed to Tridoron as Drive Type Speed. Steinbelt took control of the Ground Bridge and Drive sped through the portal.
With Optimus
Optimus and Bumblebee were fighting the best they could using their Energon Cannons, having little success as the minerals all around the canyon they fought in was creating different sized versions of Unicron, how he looked before becoming a planet. The Ground Bridge opened and Tridoron shot out and through one of the Unicrons before Drive stepped out quickly and shouts, "STOP! Why are you doing this!?" The closest Unicron looked at him and was going to stomp down on Drive, unfortunately Drive had the Trailer Cannon in his hand to blast it to pieces before shouting, "ANSWER THE QUESTION!"
The Unicrons all frowned deeper before the one closest spoke, "Only the Primes can stop me from destroying Primus!"
"Primus is already dead! Cybertron can no longer sustain life!" Drive shouts only for Unicron to laugh darkly.
"Primus lives, even if his body does not," Unicron states before glaring at the human and asking, "What are you?"
Optimus answered, "A human, you have become the home to these sentient lifeforms."
"PARASITES!" one Unicron shouts only to be blasted in the face by Drive. Another Unicron states, "I am the destroyer of all not Primus!" Unicron was angry.
Drive simply spoke, "That does not make it less likely for it to happened outside your control. What right do you have to destroy life that you yourself took part in the creation of?"
Unicron frowns before stating, "I DON'T CARE!" only to be blasted by Optimus.
Optimus states, "Jack return to Base."
"Not without you," Drive states as he gets in Tridoron and speeds forward and blasting several dozen Unicrons as Optimus and Bumblebee started driving behind Tridoron as towards another Ground Bridge where Bulkhead and Arcee jumped through and shot several Unicrons before transforming and following after Tridoron and led the cars, spearheading their way out the canyons before turning around and shooting at the funnelled Unicrons destroying them quickly.
Bulkhead states, "What is going on? Is this all he has?"
That was when the ground began to shake as suddenly from the ground behind them a colossal version of Unicron appeared and the ground quaked with every step. Drive stepped out of Tridoron and says, "Okay, Tridoron does not have gun big enough for that. Does it?" he leans down at Steinbelt who simply flashed a 'no' as Drive looked back up.
Optimus spoke, "contact Ratchet and bridge back to base."
Arcee shouts, "Don't you mean yourself? They are after you."
"Our bases shielding will only protect me for so long before Unicron discovers where I am. It is why have refused to retreat," Optimus states before adding, "Nor will evacuating the planet work for he could destroy Earth to reach me."
Drive then states, "Damn then we need a plan, or some air support. Though if Unicron intends to destroy Earth, what is Megatron going to try?"
Optimus frowns before stating, "Drive return to base. I suspect that we may find out what Megatron thinks soon," the portal opened and Drive sighs as Tridoron and himself rush through to get yelled at by June.
What happened next was the Autobots driving to Unicron's ankles and opening fire on the joints until it collapsed and destroyed itself, though Optimus became pinned as another Unicron formed ready to attack them only for Megatron to fly in and save the day, literally flying through Unicron. Megatron then landed near the Autobots with a simple request, "Unicron needs to be stopped and I need your help to do it." Which actually surprised the Autobots in that in his own way straight up admitted to asking for help in his own twisted way.
:End of Chapter 13:
This story is becoming really hard to get into again. Sorry if this was too short but the next chapter will be the conclusion of Unicron and the start of the next arc, Orion Pax.
I hope you enjoyed and until next time... BEWARE THE WRAITH!
