Cybertron
Foom! The last autobot that was standing in front of the wall collapsed in a heap of ash, "Is that all?" Galvatron inquired as he shook his fusion cannon.
"That is all mighty Galvatron," Megascream, Galvatron's second in command commented as he received a transmission from Earth, "Soundblaster's cassettes failed to capture the boy, Lord Galvatron," Foom! A hole found its way into a Decepticon's chest, causing them to fall down.
"Anything else?" Galvatron asked as he lowered his cannon.
"Yes," Soundblaster commented, "He managed to also slay Predaking," At the mention, Galvatron fired his cannon furiously at the control panel of the building they were in. They had just conquered Cybertron. It was easy as….. Well it was easy! How could they, The Knights of Unicron, not be able to capture a boy?! It was simple really: all that had to be done was to kill the boy or bring him to Unicron himself. There was no way he could have defeated Predaking so easily. There was only one way this could end: send another.
He turned towards Shockwave, "Send another decepticon team to Earth. Undercover."
"Then we should send the Stunticons" Shockwave replied as he pressed a couple of commands then saw a set of meteors shooting towards Earth. Galvatron looked at the meteors in content. The stunticons always got a job done.
A large boom was heard as one meteor hit the Earth. A boy and girl looked at the wreckage only to see that it wasn't a meteor at all: it was a pod of some sort. Without warning, the pod transformed into a robot and ran away from them, desperate to find something to hide himself behind. Another hit a stadium destroying a quarter of it. A third pod hit a Nascar racing track. The fourth ended landed in a car shop almost collapsing it completely. The final one crashed into an unfortunate family's pool. The girl that was closest to the pool woke up, grabbed her tooth pouch, and walked out to her family's pool. A giant Robot climbed out of the pool and started to walk away. It had red eyes as well as a complicated structure. The girl looked at it and asked, "Excuse me, are you the tooth fairy?"
The parents of the girl came out and asked, What are you doing out here?" The father saw the pool and screamed, "Oh my gosh what happened to the pool!" Behind the tree, the Protoform(that was it was called) ran off, scanned the family's maroon Porsche 928, and drove off. The one that landed in the stadium, found a car shop and scanned a dark grey Ferrari 308 GTB. The Nascar crasher transformed into a Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler race car and drove off as well. The car shop one turned into an off white Lamborghini Countach and drove final one was on a hill and transformed into a black Kenworth K100 Aerodyne sleeper truck and drove away. They all had one goal in mind: Find Isaiah Valenzuela and bring him to Galvatron.
Isaiah's POV
After the swarm of people and reporters had left the area, I experienced a vision of some kind. I groaned and fell down as my vision blacked out. I was back in the weird space thing. The only thing that was different was the fact that I was in my armored form. Primus still held me in his palm, looking down on me.
"This is only the beginning" He said as showed me the battle that took place today, "The Decepticons will send more and more of themselves until they capture you and the other Primes or kill you all." His expression was one of sorrow as I looked at him.
"To what end?" I asked, "So they can use us as power capsules to empower Unicron?" I grew angry at the notion that this would happen to us unless I-no. Unless all of us Primes stopped Unicron. "Is there no way to save us from extinction?"
"You must find the other 15 Primes," Primus replied, turning to me, "That is the only way to stop Unicron,"
Distraught, I said, "That's too much! I am only a child. I can't find all of them by myself. I need help." I sighed and sat down with my legs crossed.
Sensing my anguish, Primus said, "Fear not. I will send my servant to aid you in your quest,"
I wondered about this, "How will I know they're your servant and not a Decepticon trying to rearrange my face?" I asked.
He thought about this before saying, "You will when the time comes, my child. Until then, you must go home and take care of yourself until the time comes to be a Prime once more."
He was about to leave when I screamed, "Wait!" He turned, "How will I become the Prime again?"
"All you must do is hold this symbol in front of you," He showed me a symbol that was exactly like the one on my shoulders, "And say, 'Prime within, Awaken!' You will become the Prime you were today, Do you understand my child?" I nodded my head, "Good," he said and with that he sent me back to reality.
I woke up being myself again. I coughed a few times as I got back up. Something clicked in my pocket. I took it out and held it to see what it was. It glowed a brilliant red in the sunset. I put it back in my pocket and walked home. As soon as I opened it I saw a box. I picked it up and looked at the package. It had a label that said, Sorry that I couldn't make it, bud. I hope you have a happy birthday. Love, Uncle Richard. That name sent me into a deep depression. Uncle Richard had been a marine that was killed in the line of duty 3 years ago. But…. why now? I walked into the kitchen and put the box on the table. I opened up the fridge and saw a note that said, Happy Birthday on top of a piece of cake. Sighing, I took it out and ate it. As I was eating the cake, I looked at my phone, reading the texts that had appeared in my absence. Nothing much. Just a few texts asking where I was and other crap like that. I opened up my laptop and started to type up an essay of mine. I continued to work until my phone rang. At first I thought it was Lacus calling me but when I looked at the caller it said something in a language that I wasn't familiar with. It had a bunch of weird symbols on it. I answered it listening to what the caller. All they said was a couple of growls and roars. I hung up and went to bed. As I closed my eyes, one final thought flashed through my head: I could really use some help.
I did not expect to see a robot up in my face. It looked like of those Gundam figures I had on my shelf.
The Gundam judging by the looks of it, had a look of disappointment on its face as it looked me and shook its head, saying in a Yuno-like voice, "I expected something more of that one human… What was his name again? Oh-! Sting Oakley from Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny. Not someone that looks almost like Yukiteru Amano. I have to say, I'm disappointed." I shot up and hit my head on the wall. I grabbed my head, groaning as I got out of bed. Now that I could a get good look at it, I could easily see that it looked exactly like a combination of the Impulse and Exia gundam with a hint of Strike Freedom. It had pink on most of its body, but had a deep red on its helm as well as glowing sky blue optics.
"Do you have anything to drink other than milk or water?" she asked, "Because I would kill for a nice can of Nightmare fuel right now." I turned my head as it sat on my couch,
"Who the heck are you?" I asked as I put on my shirt and grabbed my lunch.
"Since you're probably going to be killed anyways," she remarked. "I might as well tell you anyway,"
It got up from the couch and I noticed at full height, the Gundam had an Autobot insignia on its chest and was about 3 inches shorter that me, "My name is Gundam and in case you wanted to know, yes I was sent by Primus himself and yes I'm a female transformer." I did not need to hear that. Running out the door, I heard Gundam run and scream, "Wait for me, you piece of scrap!"
"Someone's going to see you!" I commented as I saw Lacus come up in sight.
"Don't be stupid," Gundam replied coldly, "Your girlfriend won't see me as I really am. Only you and other Primes can."
"Who's that, Isaiah?" Lacus asked from behind me, I turned around and saw Lacus behind me. She didn't seemed fazed that I was talking to a robot at all. When I turned around I realized that Gundam took on the form of a cousin of mine.
"This..is…."
Gundam interrupted me, "I'm his cousin, April Lopez!" Lacus raised an eyebrow before shrugging and walking to the bus stop. "I have a holomatter avatar on right now, giving the appearance of a normal human without any faults." She continued to walk with me until we reached the bus. At that point, she made it a point to sit next to me. Lacus, not minding, sat in front of us. Gundam turned to me and said, "Your home seems like a good place. Too bad your kind is destroying it for the resources."
"Not all of us are into the whole thing of destroying the planet." I said turning to the window, "They want to conserve the planet and its species." Gundam raised an eyebrow before opening up my backpack, "What are you doing?" I asked as she pulled out my homework,
"I'm seeing if you have any oil in here." Curious, I asked why. She replied, "Oil's a type of drink for us to sip and possibly get giddy with." Confused, I shrugged and turned back to the window. That was when I saw a black truck with a long grey trailer come beside us. I noticed it had a Decepticon symbol on it. I pulled at Gundam's ponytail and when she turned around I pointed to the truck and its symbol. "Get down!" She whispered as she pushed my head down and made it look like she was reading a book. When the truck passed she sighed and signaled for me to come out.
"What or who was that?" I asked as the bus pulled on the school drop off.
"That," Gundam replied, "was Motormaster,"
"Motormaster?" I asked as we got off,
"Yeah. Leader of the stunticons and the main component of Menasor. Not to mention mentally unstable," Gundam commented before we were ran over by a bunch of girl with mech shirts on. "What was that?" Gundam asked as we painfully got up.
I coughed, "Fangirls." before fainting.
"Don't tell me you didn't hear about the news?" I heard Bethany say as we both turned around and saw her,
"Which is?" I inquired. She pretended to be in shock as she explained,
"There's a superhero in town! He took down this giant robotic creature within a matter of minutes!"
"Really?" Gundam inquired as she gave me a cold stare,
"Who are you?" Bethany asked Gundam, "I'm Isaiah's cousin, April Lopez." She replied as I tried to go to class with her, "So tell me," Gundam inquired, "What did the superhero say his name was?"
Bethany thought about this before replying, "His name was Optimus Prime."
When we got to class (Spanish 2) Gundam smacked me on the head, saying, "What the heck?!" I rubbed my neck, "That hurts!"
"You might as well have told them you were the Prime!" she scolded as we took our seats.
"Easy for you to say, Gundam." I whispered back. "You don't have to have a secret identity to conceal."
"I do," she continued, "but still…." That was when our spanish teacher told us to be quiet and wait until the bell rang.
When we got out of school, Gundam and I walked towards the bus when all of a sudden, five vehicles swerved onto campus recklessly. "What now?" I commented as a Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler race car screeched, "Yaaahooooo! I haven't had a good drift like this since we conquered Cybertron!" Crap! Decepticons! Without thinking, I ducked as a maroon Porsche 928 almost crashed into me. Swarms of people ran everywhere as the Stunticons continued to drive recklessly and almost hit innocent people. I turned to Gundam for help. She just gave me a look that just said, "You do it not me!" I saw looked for any familiar face. I saw Lacus, AND SHE WAS IN THE WAY OF MOTORMASTER! Thinking quickly, I ran and pushed her to the side only to be hit by Motormaster and sent flying into the stadium. Groaning, and having not much time left, I pulled out my gift from Primus. It was a red Autobot Insignia. I held in front of my chest and screamed, "Prime within, Awaken!" Instantly I transformed into my Cybertronian form, and ran out to the bus stop.
"Where are you boy?!" I heard Dead End say as he transformed and aimed his gun at random people.
"Right here, Ugly!" I said as I kicked him in the face, sending him flying several feet.
"It's Optimus Prime!" I heard Bethany squeal. I pulled out my gun and started firing at the Stunticons.
"Now that's what I'm talking about!" Wildrider commented as he transformed and started firing at me. I pulled out my shield and continued to fire at them. Dragstrip grabbed a basketball pole and started to swing it around like a staff.
I gotta find a weakness! I thought as Motormaster screamed, "Enough! He's mine for the kill!" He dashed towards me and fired his gun on me, hitting me. I scrambled to my feet as I pulled out my sword and swung it at him. "Megatron had the pleasure of killing you once," Motormaster remarked as he knocked me over. He held my sword above my body in a stabbing position. Not good. "Now I will get that pleasure!" He was about to hit me but then a blast hit him in the arm. He staggered only for a little bit, but it was enough for me to get back up and strike him in the face. Energon spewed all over my glasses and blue hair.
"Optimus!" I heard Gundam say, "Jump!" I saw a jet of some kind. Without thinking I jumped and the mini-jet attached 2 long swords to my back. I grabbed them and charged. I sliced several pieces of Breakdown's car pieces off. After that, I threw a grenade at them, causing it to explode. I jumped to safety, hoping that ended them.
But it didn't. And the stunticons weren't the only things I had to worry about either. I looked up and saw Bethany with a camera taking pictures. "Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?" That was when I heard a combined version of the Stunticons' voices.
"You beat Motormaster," It said, "Now let's see you beat Menasor!" I turned around to see what was there. I saw a really big robot with a huge sword in one of his hands. He sliced the sword at me. I dodged it easily and punched him in the stomach, sending him to the football field near the school. For someone who didn't work out and was only 5 foot 7, that was pretty cool! I ran towards Menasor and sliced at him but missed in the process. He hit me in the shoulder and threw me into a stadium. I groaned and just lied there as Menasor slowly came.
"Optimus!" Lacus and Bethany screamed together, "Get up!" Seeing them gave me hope. Even Bethany had given me courage. Menasor threw his sword down and hit where I was.
"No!" Gundam screeched.
Menasor smiled for a moment but when he looked down he was in for a shock. I wasn't there. "What the-?!" He said as he looked around to see where I was.
"Looking for me?" I asked as he turned around. I put my 2 swords together, making a double bladed sword, swung it over my head like a bow staff and put it beside my legs as it ignited. I ran with it behind me and jumped towards Menasor. He threw his sword as I threw it down on him hard. He staggered before losing his balance and falling over. I walked over him and stepped on his right hand.
"Surrender Menasor," I said, "In peace or in pieces," My sword was poised, ready to strike at a moment's notice.
"Did you just say in pieces?" He replied as he tried to move only to find out that I had pinned him to the ground. "You'll never get away with this!" He roared. "The one who sent us will avenge us and Predaking!" I raised an eyebrow before asking.
"Who?" He didn't answer so I asked again, "Who sent you?"
"You think I'd just tell you?" he retorted.
Angry, I split my sword staff in half and stabbed one into one of Menasor's joint sockets. He screamed in pain. "I'll ask again," I commented, "And if you don't answer I promise it will be more painful than before." I lifted my other sword, "Who sent you?"
Finally, Breakdown screeched, "No! I'll tell you everything! Just please don't hurt me!"
"Breakdown, you traitor!" The rest of Menasor scolded, "Galvatron is the one who sent us!" Breakdown continued, "He's the one who sent us! He's trying to get every Prime so he can make Unicron more powerful than before!" Thinking, I pulled my sword up and threw it down on Menasor. "No!" Breakdown screamed.
I sliced off the component that connected Breakdown. Menasor roared in pain as a result. Breakdown transformed into his robot mode and looked down at himself. He was completely unscathed. "Go," I said, "You have earned your life, Breakdown," Whimpering, he transformed and drove off. "As for you," I said as I turned towards Menasor, "What am I going to do with you?" Menasor grimaced from the pain I had inflicted on him.
"Go ahead," He moaned, "Finish me off." I looked at the crowd that was watching us. They all had a look of concern on their faces. I looked at my hand. With a swift slice, I could end Menasor then and now. No. If I killed Menasor, I would prove that I'm no better than him. I would just make it look like what he wanted the people to see me: a killer, not a hero. I let go of my sword and walked a little bit away. That gave Menasor enough time to get back on his foot and tackle me. Unfortunately for him and me, I pulled out my gun and fired at his components as well as at his chest. "Forgive me," I whispered as I shot off his head. Menasor fell down, neck smoking in the process. I turned away walking before transforming into my alt-mode: a red Semi truck and drove off into the sunset.
Cybertron
Galvatron roared as he shot a hole in the ceiling. He had just watched the battle between Menasor and the boy. The boy had won, which was the reason why he was even more angry, "Lord Galvatron," Megascream said with genuine concern, "You must calm down before you lose control again!" Galvatron pointed his Fusion cannon directly at Megascream but didn't fire.
"Silence, Megascream!" He hissed, "If it weren't for your pleading for my mercy when you were once Starscream and tried to become leader of the Decepticons, I guarantee you, I would have turned you into ash and stepped upon your crown!" Upon hearing that, Megascream shut his mouth. Galvatron turned to Soundblaster, "Don't bother sending more," He ordered, "I will go my myself,"
At that statement, Megascream and Soundblaster protested, "You can't go, my lord!" But Galvatron just waved them away and walked up to the launch pad. He transformed and flew off towards Earth. This time, He thought, there will be no failures. His armor flew off as he became a protoform and entered Earth's atmosphere.
This one was doozy! A friend of mine suggested that I make the Chapter longer than the usual. There's a lot of Transformers references in here. See if you can find them.
Next Chapter: Isaiah will find out there's more than meets the eye with his new guardian. Isaiah as Optimus Prime will fight Galvatron but will pay the ultimate price for it. Lacus and Bethany will team up and embark on a mystery to find out Optimus Prime's secret identity. A few characters from the TFP universe will be sent here after their own universe's destruction.
Til all are one!
