Transformers Armada: The Introduction of Corbeauflight Prime.

Chapter 2: First Encounter with the Transformers.

(Author's notes: In this chapter, not only will Megatron and Optimus Prime discover Corbeauflight Prime's existence in the end, but also, the Autobots' first three human companions will discover Corbeauflight Prime's existence as well.

Also, just for fun, the origin of the Transformers in this story will be a combination of the Marvel Comics version of Primus and Unicron's origins, the Aligned continuity to depict the Thirteen original Primes – sans Optimus Prime from the Unicron Trilogy – and the origin of the Transformers as depicted throughout Transformers Armada, Transformers Energon, Transformers Cybertron and the Aligned continuity origins of the Transformers that includes the creation of the Allspark and doesn't include the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron from the Aligned continuity.

Enjoy chapter 2: First Encounter with the Transformers.)

(Aurex cluster 802.23 Alpha, first person POV as narrated by Corbeauflight Prime...)

Millions of light years ago, deep in the vastness of space, in Aurex universal cluster 802.23 Alpha, a unique omnibenevolent digital entity known as Primus came into being.

Created by an all-powerful entity known as The One, who was comprised of all forms of good and evil, Primus came into existence after being subvided from his omnimalevolent twin brother, Unicron.

Primus and Unicron were literally two powerful godlike entities, one the ultimate incarnation of order and creation, the other the ultimate incarnation of chaos and destruction. Kind of like God and Roarke from Earth religions and legends.

For eons, Primus and Unicron have fought each other, and the balance of somewhat angelic and demonic power shifted between them more times than anyone can recall. And because they were godlike beings, they couldn't really kill each other so easily.

After some time, Primus and Unicron eventually found themselves imprisoned in metallic planetoids that eventually decompressed their humanoid forms and caused their spirits to inhabit these planetoids.

After some more time, Unicron found out how to shape his planetoid prison into a monstrous planet form that can devour one hundred percent of all known matter in the universe. And he did shape his prison into a planet form that uses all manner of jaws that can devour anything Unicron can devour, in addition to comprehensible quantum computers that allow Unicron to see all different possibilities of outcomes in the future to allow him to determine the next course of action that creates an outcome that benefits him and him alone.

Primus also learned to shape his planetoid prison into an inhabitable planet form, and his planetary mode would be known throughout time and space as Cybertron.

Over time, Unicron learned how to transform his planetary form to a one hundred thousand feet tall planet-sized bipedal robot mode with an arsenal of weapons to help him deal with numerous threats all at once.

And it is said that Unicron wants to destroy all of existence in the multiverse and become the never-ending ruler of an endless abyss without Primus around to stop him.

At the same time, however, Primus also learned how to make his own transformation to robot mode, but instead of transforming to his own robot mode, Primus used his powers to create thirteen smaller sized robots called Primes to fight Unicron.

Of course, since Optimus Prime is not the Thirteenth Prime in this universe, the identity of the Thirteenth Prime remains unknown to this day.

Anyway, all thirteen of the Primes managed to finally defeat Unicron with the help of Unicron's creations, the Mini-Cons, revolting against their master thanks to some help from the future counterparts of the five human allies of the Autobots from the planet Earth in this universe causing the Mini-Cons to gain sentience and comprehend how dangerous and evil Unicron really is.

Having been drained of all negative energies to feast upon to sustain his life functions as opposed to Energon, Unicron used his dark powers to create the drifter known as Sideways and sent him to Earth in an attempt to make the hatred between the warring Transformers factions, the Autobots and Decepticons, to grow and grow long enough for Unicron to start reawakening and commence his plan to destroy his twin brother while he is inert in his planet mode.

Unicron disguised himself as one of Cybertron's moons to hide in plain sight and wait for the right moment to strike.

Eventually, Primus and Unicron faded into myth and legend, which was unheard of in future Transformers universes since they would be well-known by Autobots and Decepticons alike.

In the meantime, the Cybertronian race was divided into two factions. The first one consists of a group of Transformers who banded together to take over Cybertron's government and run things their way.

This group of Transformers named themselves Decepticons. They want to rule Cybertron with an iron fist, and they'll not hesitate to murder anyone who gets in their way.

The Decepticons banded together under the tyrannical rule of Megatron, who started a war to take over Cybertron's peaceful government after experiencing grueling time in Cybertron's gladitorial arenas.

Thankfully, a large enough handful of Transformers decided to fight back against the Decepticons.

This second group of Transformers calls themselves Autobots, of which I am proud to be a member of such a faction.

The Autobots under the respective leaderships of Rodimus Prime and Optimus Prime had little numbers at first, but over the duration of the Cybertronian Civil War, more and more Transformers joined the Autobots in the fight for justice, honor, nobility and freedom from oppression, slavery, injustice, and tyranny.

All of the Autobots and Decepticons happen to be OG Transformers because of the fact that they turn into cars, SUVs, trucks, motorcycles, tanks, fighter jets, helicopters, and so forth.

Of course, things have not yet progressed to having Autobots and Decepticons that can transform into wild animals, dinosaurs, and dragons.

But anyway, the civil war between Autobots and Decepticons in the Unicron Trilogy started to intensify when both factions found out about Unicron's Mini-Cons, but without being aware of Unicron's existence or even the existence of Primus, for that matter.

Literally viewed as smart tools used to boost the powers and abilities of virtually any Transformer robot, the Mini-Cons were brought to full functionality by an inner protocol.

The Mini-Cons came together and fought ownership between Autobots and Decepticons.

The Decepticons wanted to use the Mini-Cons to increase their own powers long enough to win the war, take control of Cybertron, and gradually enslave the universe one planet at a time, while the Autobots wanted to work with the Mini-Cons to end the war so that the Autobots and Mini-Cons can live on Cybertron in peace. After all, like Optimus Prime once said, the Mini-Cons helped build many of Cybertron's cities and industries. But I think that may be because the modern Cybertronian cities and modern Cybertronian industries had to be built from the originals and from manufacturing plants and factories all across Primus' planet mode.

Over time, one fight of the war after the other proved nothing short of temporary victories worth sacrifices and casualties.

And after suffering multiple casualties, the Autobots and Decepticons found themselves ensnared in a standstill.

After coming to the epiphany that total victory would come at an extremely big, terrible price, the warring factions formed a ceasefire.

And in this ceasefire, the decision was made to build a humongous spacecraft for the Mini-Cons, and they would be catapulted into space, never again to take part in another interplanetary war.

But just as the Mini-Con ship was about to completely leave the Cybertronian Solar System, the Decepticon flagship the Doomsday attempted to intercept the Mini-Con ship the Exodus as it fled.

However, thankfully enough, the Autobot fleet and the Autobot flagship the Hyperion came between the Doomsday and the Exodus, with the Autobots attempting to protect their friends and their Decepticon-allied enemies.

After escaping through a closing warp gate/Space Bridge portal, the Exodus would float through space for presumably millions of years. But what the Mini-Cons didn't know as they were in stasis-locked Mini-Con panels, was that the Doomsday was able to inflict crippling damage to the ship's transwarp drive. Because of this, the Exodus would be heading towards the Milky Way galaxy.

Finally, after floating through space for millions of years, the damaged Mini-Con ship the Exodus crash-landed on the surface of the dark side of the Earth's moon.

Unfortunately for the Mini-Cons, the spacecraft and cargo hold were split in two by the impact of the crash, causing Mini-Cons to be scattered across the world.

Four million years passed as the planet Earth shifted in numerous changes, and the front half of the Mini-Con ship remained buried under several feet of stone rock formations laid atop the vessel as the Earth shifted and changed between each era.

And for the same amount of years, the Mini-Cons remained undisturbed.

My name is Lawrence Murphy, also known as Corbeauflight Prime, and this is when our respective stories begin.

(Present day, third person POV...)

Bradley White rides his bicycle to school, followed by his best friend, Carlos Lopez on his skateboard.

In the school hallway/locker room of Lincoln Middle School, Rad puts his bicycle helmet in his locker as Carlos remarks, "Oh man, you beat me again, dude! I still can't believe it. That's literally three days in a row. I think that's a new record."

Rad and Carlos bump fists.

Suddenly, Rad turns to see Alexis Thi Dang approaching with her mind on the math test she has coming up.

Rad asks in greeting, "Alexis, how ya doing?"

Alexis silently moans in exasperation before replying, "Good morning, Rad."

Rad continues, "Hey, we were just wondering if you want to come with us after school. We found a wicked cave in the mountains."

Alexis replies, "Sorry, guys, but I'm gonna have to take a rain check. Besides, I've got a math test coming up, and I told my mom I'd come straight home to study for it. You know how I am with my grades. So, for the last time, the answer is no!"

Rad maintains his poker face as Alexis starts giggling at Carlos' expression as she walks away.

Rad asks, "Is it just me, or do you get the distinct feeling that Little Miss Stuck-Up dissed us big time?"

Alexis calls back, "I hope you realize I heard that loud and clear, Rad!"

Rad calls back, "And you were supposed to!"

Carlos whispers to Rad, "(Softly) I tell you, man, there's just no winning when it comes to girls, is there?"

Rad shakes his head from side to side to say no in sign language.

Rad then asks in a whisper, "(Softly) Do you think we should let Alexis make her own choices in regards to her personal relationship with the both of us?"

Carlos then whispers back, "(Softly) Considering our interactions in the past as well as the one we just had, I think you know the answer tot hat one, Rad."

Rad sighs in reluctance before admitting, "You're right, Carlos."

Just then, one of the school's tormentors, Billy Miller remarks, "Well, well, if it isn't the dweeb twins."

Rad and Carlos ask in unison while turning around, "Huh?" "Huh?"

Upon seeing Billy and his cohort, Rad and Carlos mentally bemoan in unison, "Aw man, not these two doofuses again." "Aw man, not these two doofuses again."

Billy continues, "I can't believe you're such suckers for punishment. Like, seriously."

Billy's cohort Fred Daingerfield inquires, "Yeah. So, how come you guys never invite me and Billy along for anything, huh?"

Everyone notices Fred has gotten slightly taller and slightly muscular over the year, mostly because he doesn't eat as much food as he used to before the beginning of the new school year. And also because Fred continued to exercise rigorously from his childhood days that involved safer exercises such as playing specific parent-approved sports.

Suddenly, the school bell rings, prompting Rad to advise, "We gotta get going to class. And besides, that's a stupid question."

As the foursome walk to their class, Rad narrates, "Yep, story of my life. Sure, things are a little bland, but I gotta be careful of what I wish for. And it's true that Alexis finds me and Carlos a tad annoying because of our respective hobbies and whatnot, but Alexis doesn't seem to grasp that if we were all like her one hundred percent, the world would be a pretty boring place. And while I love having fun, even I have to be mindful of the fact that I have to do my schoolwork, even if I don't have to like it. Besides, over the years, I've learned how to pretend to have fun with things that I don't like. But as I once learned from my mom, when someone like me commences the art of pretending to have fun, that person would end up having a bit of genuine fun by mistake."

In the classroom, Rad is working on his paper without paying attention to anything he considers to be unimportant to his schoolwork.

The same goes for Carlos, and surprisingly, for Billy and Fred, as well.

Even though Rad knows Alexis is paying him no mind despite not attempting to interact with her in class – even Rad knows better than that – he doesn't actually seem bothered by it.

In fact, one could say he's grown accustomed to it.

Rad continues narrating, "In fact, I hesitate to think that Alexis has a secret crush on me. I mean, it's true that boys are oblivious, but I think that the first signs that should've been a metaphorical red flag include the fact that Alexis seems to be looking at me in class when she thinks I'm not looking back, and the fact that she doesn't seem too annoyed by me and Carlos' hobbies as much as over the course of the past two years."

Later, in the middle school's bicycle and skateboard locker room/garage, Carlos quizzes, "Hey, are you excited like me since we're going up that mountain?"

Rad replies, "You bet I am. But we better get on the beaten path quickly or we'll be stuck up there after dark with no way back home. And we need to be extremely careful just in case Billy and Fred follow us."

Carlos replies back, "Good point. Let's hit the road!"

Carlos and Rad make excited exclamations as they hit the road to the mountain.

Thankfully, Rad and Carlos managed to make sure that they didn't have any tracking devices on their respective bike and skateboard.

With Billy and Fred, the taller boy was bemoaning over how the tracking devices were found out early.

Billy states, "Don't worry, Fred, we'll find another way. Besides, I don't mean to sound offensive, but that locator only has a range of five hundred yards. It doesn't go past that."

Fred replies, "Hey, that's true and all, but my locator was a birthday gift. Aside from that, I don't know if we have a contingency plan to track those dweebs."

Billy replies back, "True. But we can think of one on the fly."

The twosome ride off on their bikes and Fred manages to ride his bike perfectly without any problems or complaints.

Alexis notices and face palms at the sight of the twosome likely about to cause trouble again.

At the cave, Rad remarks, "And we have arrived on time, Carlos!"

Carlos remarks in response, "This is so cool, dude!"

Rad inquires, "Well, shall we get going in?"

Carlos replies, "Yep."

Rad turns on his flashlight.

Inside the cave, Rad states, "Man, this cave is even darker and scarier than I initially believed. Please double check that we have a path to find the exit."

Carlos replies, "Don't be afraid, Rad; I got everything well in hand. All we would have to do is just follow the rope to the entrance of the cave, and we should be good to go."

Outside the cave, as he and Fred arrive at the path to the entrance, Billy asks, "They've probably gone home already. You okay back there, Fred?"

Fred replies while managing to catch his breath, "Yeah, I'm fine. You know, I'm trying my hardest, and it seems that with a few exceptions, things are always good enough for you."

Billy replies, "That's because in my years of climbing to the top, I've learned to be patient and I've learned to rein in my anger just in case things don't go my way."

Fred replies back, "Well, that's true. At least I don't get hungry as much as I used to."

Fred notices Rad's BMX and points out, "Billy, look over there! My locator actually worked past the limit! That happens to be Rad's bicycle."

Billy notices.

Billy remarks, "So, it would seem that those two losers are sneaking around in some gammy aged abandoned mine shaft, huh? Let's see if we can ambush them."

Fred replies, "I don't think that's a good idea at all."

Billy states, "Don't be afraid, all right? Nothing unforeseen is gonna happen to us."

Billy turns on his own flashlight, shines the light over Carlos' rope, and remarks, "Lookie lookie, what have we here?"

With Rad and Carlos, Rad quizzes, "Okay, which way do we go now?"

Carlos answers, "I'd say we have to go back to the entrance, because we just ran out of rope, and we don't have another one."

Rad sees something and remarks, "Hey, hold your horses. I got an idea. We'll simply fingermark our path with rocks. Nicely awesome, right?"

Carlos replies, "You are a pure genius, Newton."

Rad wonders aloud, "Sometimes, I wonder why I even decide to bother."

Carlos replies, "Rad, I think you're actually only jealous because I'm the handsome one."

Rad replies back, "Keep dreaming, pal!"

Back with Billy and Fred, the taller boy states, "I believe I should have informed you about this before, but when I was a kid thenceforth, I've always been afraid of dark spooky places that include caves."

Billy replies, "You know, for someone who got in shape to make a partial difference, you still have pretty common fears and phobias. But if you had spent as much time confronting fear as much as getting in shape at the same time, we would have found – huh?"

Billy and Fred see the rope ending and Billy bemoans, "Aw, this is just perfect! Now, which way did they head off to? How are we going to find them? As far as I know, this is nobody's fault!"

Fred asks, "What are you blaming nobody for? It was your bright idea to come trail them."

Billy remarks angrily, "I've had just about enough of how much I can actually take from this journey! Since there's nobody to blame for us getting lost and since you haven't overcame your fears in the past year, then the best you can do is turn back and head on home because I have just about had enough of you failing to act strong and brave!"

Billy messes up the rock marker and muses, "This would've been much more fun if I had brought my sister with me. At least she's good company."

Fred starts running after Billy and calls out, "Hey, wait up, Billy! You can't leave me here by myself! Besides, you still happen to have my peanut bar in your pocket! Wait for me!"

Carlos hears the faint calling and asks Rad, "Did you hear something? 'Cause I think Billy and Fred followed us."

Rad replies, "That's probably just your overactive imagination and your hearing playing tricks on you."

Carlos replies back, "No, I definitely heard Billy and Fred following us."

Rad replies back again, "Whatever you say, pal."

Meanwhile, Billy and Fred encounter a huge swarm of bats sleeping in total darkness.

Fred shakily says, "S-shine your l-light up there, Billy. See if there's bats."

Billy does so, and a huge swarm of bats fly at the source of the light.

Fred and Billy scream in terror and they make several different screaming complaints about their predicament.

Carlos hears it, and he says, "There's those voices again, and they seem closer than before."

Rad replies, "Yeah, I think you're actually losing your mind."

Carlos replies back, "Let's look into this, okay?"

As Carlos starts walking, Rad asks, "Hey, where do you think you're going?"

Carlos replies, "To find out the source of the voices, dude. This place is really starting to bug me."

Suddenly, Carlos steps onto a floor part that acts like floor tile tripwire, activating an organic mechanism that causes a slab of stone with Carlos and Rad to slide further down the cave to the ship. But to the two boys, the whole thing was more or less like a sliding down roller coaster that only goes down.

At the end of the not-so-impromptu roller coaster ride, Rad and Carlos land a bit hard on the floor.

After getting up and dusting themselves off, Rad quizzes, "Hey, Carlos. You alright, dude?"

Carlos answers before asking, "Yeah, I'm fine, but any idea what just happened right now? It was like we opened up a hidden elevator shaft that was like a roller coaster only going down, and then we ended up in this ancient chamber of the cave."

Rad suggests, "Let's scope the place out."

Rad lights up a small blowtorch he packed with him and points it upward to show a series of engravings in the cave walls, engravings of Cybertronian origin.

Rad asks, "Gadzooks! What on Earth is that?!"

After a brief pause, Rad states, "I don't think we were the first ones to be down here, Carlos."

Carlos replies, "Yes, and whatever this used to be, it definitely looks like it's not of Earthly origin. But the good news is, by the looks of it, it's been stuck in this cave for what seems to be millions of years."

Rad asks, "You don't think anyone actually lives down here, do you?"

Carlos replies, "I don't think so, but I believe there's only one way to find out. Hey! If anyone's down here, speak up or forever hold your piece, all right?"

Meanwhile, with Billy and Fred, Fred inquires, "Can we just go back, Billy? I think my mother is starting to worry about me. And my blood sugar is starting to go dangerously low."

Billy replies, "This is officially the last time I'm gonna tell you right now: we're not leaving until we find out what exactly Rad and Carlos are looking for here."

Fred inquires, "But what if they're lost just like we are, huh? That signifies we're gonna be trapped down here permanently!"

Billy turns and replies fretfully and scaredly, "Please stop, Fred! Now you're getting me freaking out!"

Back with Carlos and Rad, the older boy remarks, "Wow. It looks like something really strange happened down here."

Carlos adds, "Yes, and take a look at all of these rocks. They look like they've been melted."

Carlos notices a staircase and calls out, "Hey, look at this. There's a staircase over here."

Rad remarks, "This is getting weirder and weirder by the second. Come on, let's keep searching."

Carlos quizzes, "Do you happen to have any idea what exactly happened down here, Rad?"

Rad answers, "Nope. I wish I did, but I actually don't."

Carlos theorizes, "It nearly looks like the site of an alien spaceship crash landing."

Rad replies, "Yeah, no joking."

Carlos then inquires, "Yo, Rad, do you think these stairs are actually safe?"

Carlos tests going down the stairs, and Rad exclaims, "Whoa, hey! Take it easy, Carlos!"

Carlos and Rad stumble across a Mini-Con panel on the downstairs level.

Rad says, "Carlos, look at what I found over here. Oh..."

Rad kneels down in front of the Mini-Con panel.

Carlos advises, "Hey, man, I'd be careful if I were you, okay?"

Rad asks, "What do you think this is, anyway?"

Carlos answers, "I'm not sure, but it looks like it could be radioactive because of the green glow."

Rad touches the Mini-Con panel, and suddenly, the panel lights up in a white flash of light, causing Rad to scream from nearly going blind.

The two boys scream from the brightness of the white light.

And all the while, the ground starts to shake.

Meanwhile, Fred exclaims, "It's an earthquake! We'll be buried alive! We gotta get out of here! Why exactly did I have to listen to you in the first place, Billy?!"

Billy replies, "Would you shut your trap?! Your yapping is only gonna make things go from bad to worse!"

Billy and Fred hug two separate walls as they attempt to steady themselves.

Rad holds the Mini-Con panel in shock, amazement and in a daze as he remains frozen on the spot.

Carlos exclaims, "Let's go, Rad, let's amble out of here!"

Suddenly, the rest of the ship lights up in a multi-spectrum of colors.

The rumbling of the ship shakes up the entire town.

In her home, Alexis feels the ground shaking as she works on her homework, and she states, "Huh?! Oh, no. It must be an earthquake."

Meanwhile, Billy drops his flashlight and the glass bulb shatters against the stone ground on impact.

Billy exclaims, "We're condemned!"

Carlos exclaims, "Come on, man, you must let it go! This entire place is coming apart!"

Rad exclaims back, "I'm coming, dude!"

As the two boys run back up the staircase, the ship lights up white.

Billy says to Fred, "Okay, Fred, let's not panic!"

Suddenly, the white light travels out of the cave, engulfing Billy and Fred in the same flash of light as they scream in panic.

Alexis checks the source of the disturbance in regards to the location coordinates and remarks, "Oh, my gosh. The mountain is the epicenter and that is where Rad and Carlos went off to."

Suddenly, on the outside of the observatory, the ship buried in the mountain shoots three laser beams of light, one of them being green for the Mini-Cons, the second being red for the Autobots and the last being purple for the Decepticons.

The beams of light travel all the way to the Earth's atmosphere and then they break through the atmosphere.

In the process, the electronics of the town lose power.

Even Alexis' computer loses power, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't get the computer online again.

Alexis states, "Oh! I hope they made it out of there alive."

Alexis tries to reboot her computer, but because it's connected to electricity like all of the machines in the city, she can't get her computer back online, not even with a system reboot.

The green light makes it to the rest of the derelict Mini-Con ship on the moon and the ship lights up green, activating Mini-Con panels across the world as the red and purple lights make their way to Cybertron.

In the Autobot and Decepticon bases and headquarters, the alarms start blaring to signify to both sides that the Mini-Cons have been found on Earth.

On the Autobot half of Cybertron, several Autobot Seekers and Aerialbots take off in jet mode to investigate the origin of the Mini-Con signal.

In the Autobot bases, the holographic computers reveal the planet Earth as the origin point of the Mini-Con signal.

The respective armies of the Autobots and Decepticons prepare to have their most elite forces and finest soldiers – generic or otherwise – transwarp to Earth via the warp gates while being accompanied by Optimus Prime and Megatron respectively.

At the Autobot Headquarters where the warp gate was open, Optimus states, "Jetfire, I'll leave things here in your servos. Don't let us down."

Jetfire replies, "Yes sir."

Red Alert then says, "Optimus, sir, we need to hurry if we're going to make that warp gate."

Optimus says, "Move out, Autobots!" He then addresses his entire Autobot army as he continues saying, "We may call on any one of you for additional reinforcements, so stand by and wait for us to call."

The amassed Autobot army consisting of over ninety-nine googolplex Grounders, Aerialbots, Triple Changers, Four Changers, Six Changers, Communications Officers, Powerdashers, Omnibots, Constructobots, Jumpstarters, Insectobots, Dinobots, Wreckers, Aerialbots, Protectobots, Technobots, Scientists, Scouts, Soldiers, Leaders, Medics, Military Operations Commanders, Air Guardians, Stuntobots, Combatobots, Battlechargers, Predabots, Sharktibots, City Commanders, Throttlebots, Terrorbots, Duobots, Clones, Monsterbots, Sparkabots, Firebots, Triggerbots, Seabots, and so forth all replied in unison out loud, "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!""Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!"

"Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!"

The three Autobots jump into the warp gate, but then, Smokescreen tags along at the last minute to join Hot Shot.

Back on Earth, Corbeauflight Prime gets the signal on his base computers installed into the future Autobot base. He checks it out and after having the main computer confirm that the Mini-Cons were awakening, only to get the positive results, the hybrid future Autobot Lieutenant Commander states to himself, "It has begun."

Corbeauflight Prime enters his first ground vehicle mode, which is a 2010 Rosenbaur Panther 6x6 airport crash tender fire truck, and drives towards the mountain.

Corbeauflight contacts his team and says, "My fellow Autobots and my fellow Primes, the time is now. The Mini-Cons have started to come out of stasis lock. The time has come for us to help our fellow Autobots in the war for the Mini-Cons. But let's not change too much about the future; there could be disastrous repercussions for that. And if you tend to forget important pieces of the future, then leave it to me to explain to our friends. Is that understood, everyone?"

Corbeauflight Prime heard his one hundred and thirty-six compatriots say, "Understood, sir" in unison to signify that they heard him loud and clear.

Back at her home, Alexis tries to type into her computer, but because she was a tad impatient and a little bit frustrated, she decides to head off to the mountain to check on the two boys.

Her exact words were precisely as Corbeauflight Prime remembered if he was there: "Oh, stupid computer! I can't wait!"

Alexis grabs her locator and heads outside.

The red and purple beams of light cease the light show and the electronics of the town return online.

As Alexis makes her way to the mountain via her scooter, she mentally states, "Oh, good, it stopped. I just hope that no one's hurt. And as much as Bradley and Carlos annoy me, I don't even want to think about what would happen if they got hurt. And as much as I wouldn't admit it, I think Rad is too cute to get caught in an earthquake or a cave-in. Yeah, somebody can sue me for all I care; I deeply love Bradley White."

In the cave, Carlos and Rad are running with the Mini-Con panel and Carlos states, "Oh crap, we are totally lost, dude!"

Rad replies, "Just keep running, dude!"

Carlos calls out, "Yo, wait a minute! This is beginning to look familiar!"

The twosome stumbles upon Carlos' rope.

Carlos states, "Yo, dude, check it out! My rope! HAHAHAHA!"

Rad replies, "You saved us!"

Outside the cave, Carlos is panting as he tries to catch his breath and as he takes in greedy breaths of fresh air.

Carlos even stated, "Ah, fresh air."

Rad demands, "Would you please keep going? Because this entire place can still collapse! Come on!"

Carlos replies, "Yeah, I got it! I'm right behind you, man!"

Just as the two boys make their way to their bike and skateboard, they see a brief flash of light before a purple-colored portal-shaped globe of light starts to materialize.

Carlos states, "It's starting to get scary again!"

The purple circular portal descends onto the ground to slowly fade and reveal a robotic shape.

Rad asks, "What is that supposed to be, man?"

Carlos answers honestly, "Your guess is as good as mine, dude!"

Eventually, the portal hovers a few inches off the ground and the shape of the alien robot comes into view to reveal the first Cybertronian form of the Aurex cluster version of Megatron, the supreme leader of the Decepticons who initially transforms into a battle tank before gradually taking the form of a Cybertronian jet and then becoming a Triple Changer with a different kind of Cybertronian jet mode and along with a Cybertronian car mode not unlike specific but not quite specified versions of the Batmobile put together.

From his hidden vantage point, Corbeauflight Prime can be seen by the camera scowling dangerously at the sight of Megatron, one of the most iconic cartoon villains in existence in the Quadwal cluster, someone Corbeauflight always desired and wanted to kill, no matter who gets in his way and no matter how many times Optimus Prime would say no.

Megatron lands on the ground in a kneeling position with his arms crossed over his chestplate in an X shape.

Megatron slowly stands up straight and stretches himself while uttering quite a lot of growls and moans.

Carlos and Rad start to panic, and Alexis shows up and says, "Listen to me, you guys. Whatever it is you do, don't panic."

The three kids briefly argue, attracting Megatron's attention.

The exact dialogue of the argument is the same as Corbeauflight remembers: "Alexis, no!" "Don't move, Rad!" "Stay back!" "That thing might come after you if you do! I told you to stay put!" "What are you doing here?"

From his vantage point, Corbeauflight Prime quietly face palms while mentally grumbling, "This is worse than seeing it on my TV screen back in my dimension. Even in a cartoon, human children are just so noisy, so unpredictable, so prejudicial, so disobedient, so rambunctious, and unable to get their priorities and affairs in order, even though it's just part of the script."

Rad rushes over to Alexis, but he loses his footing on a loose rock and trips, spilling the Mini-Con panel on the ground.

Megatron spots the Mini-Con symbol and growls in realization.

Rad goes to pick up the panel and Carlos advises, "Just leave it alone, Rad, we have to evacuate now!"

Megatron growls as he reaches over, knocking over Rad's bicycle in an attempt to block off his escape route.

The kids turn to see Megatron slowly approaching them.

Suddenly, the Mini-Con panel lights up, causing Rad to drop it again.

Megatron stops in his tracks to see what the whole thing is about.

The Mini-Con panel opens up to reveal the first Mini-Con, High Wire.

The Mini-Con looks over its surroundings and starts beeping as a form of communicating.

High Wire looks over at the kids, and then he looks over at Megatron's towering form before quickly scanning Rad's bicycle and transforming into a nearly exact replica of it.

High Wire revs up his wheels despite having no engine in vehicle mode before stopping and motioning for Rad, Carlos and Alexis to hop on.

Carlos states, "You know, I actually think he's trying to tell us something, but I can't tell what he's saying."

Rad explains, "He wants us to jump on and ride out of here."

Alexis remarks, "Yeah right, like you can understand him."

Rad replies, "This might sound a tad odd, but I believe I can understand what he's saying without needing a robotic translator."

Carlos states, "Well, then let's go for it, guys. Time is short. He just might be our ticket out of here."

High Wire drives through the desert lands with Rad, Carlos and Alexis riding on each other's shoulders.

Carlos remarks, "I've never seen a bike move this fast! This is sweet!"

Alexis points out, "Well, either way, let's just hope that our little friend here can stay one step ahead of robo geek."

Carlos replies, "Ah, I bet you guys Metal Head's on his way home by this point. See, there's no chance he can keep up with us."

However, Megatron proves Carlos wrong as he steps on Rad's bike and manages to somewhat catch up to the kids and High Wire because of his supernatural speed despite how tall he is.

Alexis points out, "You were saying, Carlos?!"

Megatron smiles evilly as he chuckles maniacally while getting ready to flick a rock in the direction High Wire is traveling.

Alexis bemoans, "This thing can't go any faster, can it?!"

High Wire beeps out a response.

Rad replies, "He says he is at maximum speed! But let's hope he can try his hardest, because I'd certainly rather not have to explain to our parents what's happening!"

Alexis points out, "I thought bicycles were supposed to be much faster than this! How can he already be at maximum speed?!"

Megatron flicks the rock in the direction High Wire is traveling in, and the kids tumble to the ground as High Wire deactivates.

As the kids get back up, Megatron states, "You have something of mine."

Alexis replies, "We have what?!"

Megatron replies back, "I said you have something of mine. So, give it back immediately, or you shall suffer the consequences."

Rad remarks, "Oh, great."

Rad looks up to see Megatron's not pleased.

Megatron remarks, "I have given you your chance, Earthling."

Megatron reaches out to take High Wire by force, but then a familiar voice rings out, "Stand down, Megatron!"

Both Rad and Megatron ask in unison, "Huh?" "Huh?"

As the Transformers Armada instrumental theme song plays, everyone turns to see Optimus Prime standing tall and proud as he makes his debut on Earth for the first time in the Aurex cluster, specifically in his pre-Earth robot mode.

Megatron snarls, "Optimus Prime!"

The kids ask in unison, "Optimus who?!" "Optimus who?!" "Optimus who?!"

Nobody dared to answer, but then, Corbeauflight Prime calls out, "Save some for me, Optimus Prime!"

Everyone turned to see what appears to be a a Twelve Changer inspired by a combination of the Generation 1 Megatron, the RID 2001 Galvatron, and the DOTM Sentinel Prime.

Of course, Optimus Prime, Hot Shot and Red Alert were gonna find out over the course of a few days what kind of Transformers inspired Corbeauflight's appearance.

Megatron growls, "Grrrrrr! Another meddling Autobot!"

Corbeauflight points out, "Yes, I'm an Autobot, but just so we're clear, I was not sent here by Optimus Prime as an advancement guard."

Optimus then inquires, "If you weren't sent here to this planet by anybody as an advancement guard, then who sent you?"

Corbeauflight answers, "I'll tell you later, sir!"

Megatron snarls in response, but Corbeauflight's armor shifting to a crossover between angelic and demonic in regards to manifesting shoulder, arm and shin spikes like the spikes on The Shredder's armors, a crown looking like Sentinel Prime's crown merged with Starscream's Decepticon Crown of Leadership, Corbeauflight's armor shifting to resemble a combination of the Jetpower Optimus Prime from Revenge of the Fallen and the Animated Powermaster Optimus Prime, and Corbeauflight's wings in crow mode, bat mode, jet mode and dragon mode all spreading broadly in unison caused Megatron's optics to widen in horror.

Megatron aims his tank cannon and opens fire on Corbeauflight three times, only for the shots to bounce off his armor harmlessly.

Megatron asks in shock and fear, "You, who are you?!"

Corbeauflight answers in a short and decisive manner, "Your worst nightmare!"

Pushing the matter aside for the time being, Optimus charged Megatron head-on. Megatron does the same, and the two faction leaders grasped hands in a draw of strength to see who was the strongest.

And despite Optimus being slightly up to Megatron's height sans his tank tread shoulder plates, it seems like Megatron was going to win due to him being famous for his savage might. As evidenced by the shaking metal sounds coming from Optimus' shoulder armor.

As the two faction leaders continue trying to overpower each other, Rad remarks, "I distinctly get the feeling that this is all my fault."

Corbeauflight Prime continues watching, knowing he was gonna have to wait to make his move.

To be continued...

(Author's notes: In the next chapter, Corbeauflight Prime and some of his troops will prepare for the first battle against the Decepticons.
