Chapter 2: Dark Shadow (Part 2)

"Clear your mind…" said Blackarchnia softly within the training center, "focus on the transformation at hand, do not give into emotion or the beast, achieve a balance of both…" she paused watching the students struggle as if they were transforming like they did before, "only then can you truly say… I am Transformed."

Green light filled the chamber as Blackarchnia's large pink spider form with glowing green eyes morphed into a define female figure, thin legs holding up a slender and fixed body moving up to her head which could scroll back revealing several more eyes, the back of the spider rested upon her back along with several extra leg appendages.

Several students watched in awe but several others just kept saying, "I am Transformed," over and over again to no avail, Blackarchnia sighed at their failure.

A knocking came from the training centers door as it opened revealing a extremely tall Transformer which Blackarchnia cared for.

"Silverbolt," she said softly as she walked over and he embraced her.

"How goes the training?" he asked her while looking at the cross-eyed students.

"Lousy, they can't get the knack on being part organic, the Transformation without a command combination is very… strange to them," she replied looking up at him.

"Either way dark poison of my heart, you are done for the day, we shall head home to where we may rest."

"Sounds good… lead the way," she said as they exited the structure.

The roar of the technorganic city screamed within Silverbolt and Blackarchnia's ears as they walked upon one of many walkways leading to the Council Citadel.

Plants bearing both technology and organic nature sprouted everywhere bringing great beauty to the city, ships, flight capable Transformers, and many others passed overhead passing shadows across the lower streets.

"Amazing… every day it fills me with pride that we helped create this perfect balance," Silverbolt said looking to a lower walkway, which was crowded.

Blackarchnia nodded but she was more interested in something that caught her eye.

"Something wrong my dear?" he asked her.

"Yeah, what's that?" she said in a surprised tone as she pointed towards the sky at a flaming meteor.

Silverbolt looked up at it and zoomed in with his view, "it's not a meteor… but a ship and the Cybertron defence grid is shooting at it!"

Blackarchnia tapped her chest, "Cheetor do you hear me?"

Cheetor tapped his chest in response, "yes what is it Blackarchnia?"

"The Cybertron auto defence grid is firing upon a star ship what's going on?"

Cheetor opened his eyes wide and jumped over to his computer, his hands were lightning as he brought up the scanners revealing a small star ship displaying the signature of a Maximal trade ship.

"I don't know, it's small and it's vectoring towards subsection 69, 43, 11, that's near you, I'll round up a party to check it out, meet you there in a few cycles."

Silverbolt transformed into a bright blast of yellow light and what stood where he was seconds ago was a large condor with a round beak, he looked over to Blackarchnia who smiled and climbed up onto his back.

"Let's go Silver."

He grunted in response as he flew gradually upwards before moving towards the now closing in star ship, it wouldn't be long now.

After a few minutes of flying did they finally see the ship itself, it was black and grey and seemed to be piled together full of wreckage, it's hull was torn and twisted with the signs of blaster fire and had several broken down engine cores, Blackarchnia surmised that it's condition gave it the classification of a meteor for the Cybertronal defence guns and that it was already damaged before the crash.

Cheetor along with several others raced in before all stopping and lining up outside the crash, he nodded at Silverbolt and Blackarchnia, "alright me, Silverbolt, Blackarchnia and Tartarus will head in first," he said nodding over to the massive buffalo soldier who sit in beast mode.

Silverbolt and Cheetor looked at the crash and simultaneously said "I am Transformed."

And they entered the ship.

The main loading bay was broken and blackened with many small fires erupting within, boxes and equipment showed signs of the ship deffinetly being a trade ship.

"I don't get it, if ship was attacked why not steal the equipment on board?" Cheetor asked as they passed by the body of a horribly ruined and damaged Transformer.

"I am not sure…"

A barrage of gunfire erupted upon the roof above the Maximals and they all ducked down in cover as a tall individual exploded out from behind a box drawing up two massive guns, his eyes were blazing red and his body a horribly damaged red ant.

"Invaders, enemies of the colony! You will burn Maximals!" replied the single warrior as his massive guns erupted flames outwards at the Maximals cover.

Silverbolt drew up a few feathers in his hands and dived out of cover throwing them like knives at the insane Maximal.

The feathers stabbed into him before exploding sending the warrior backwards, he stood back up roaring before firing a few more shots blowing a box over upon Cheetor.

Cheetor grunted as he pushed the box off him, "is it me or is this guy familiar?"

Blackarchnia nodded before holding her hands up and placing her feet in a position on the ground, energy escaped her body and the ground glowed a electric green as she guided a blast of energy through the ground before it struck the insane one blowing him off his feet.

"Got him!" she yelled in victory before running out of cover with the rest of the Maximals.

Tartarus who still hasn't transformed looked over at the ant bots broken body, "strange that he is alone and savage is it not?"

A sudden spinning sound distracted the rest from his question as the bot exploded upwards flying upon a helicopter jetpack upon his back, it spun as he cackled manically before flying towards the ships exit.

Silverbolt drew up several feathers and threw them at the fleeing bot but missed and caused a bundle of boxes to fall and block their sight from the bot.

Cheetor breathed heavily as they looked out where the bot had retreated then looked at each other.

They all were thinking it but Silverbolt said it, "didn't Inferno die in the Beast Wars?"

"How did he get back here?" Cheetor asked once again several megacycles later as the Maximal security teams secured the ship.

"Like I've been saying for the last few megacycles I DO NOT KNOW!" Blackarchnia yelled before falling silent once again.

Tartarus looked out upon the city, "whatever brought him here probably gave him a mission, we should not worry about how he got here and what he will do now that he is here."

Cheetor sighed, "your right… I'll get Rattrap on the wreckage, see if he can find any clues, what about Inferno?"

"I'll track him down, long exposure to this new Cybertron will begin to alter his circuits and reformat him into a technorganic like us, it will slow him down," Tartarus replied as he ran off into the distance alone.

Silverbolt transformed back into his condor form and allowed Blackarchnia upon his back, "we'll return to our training centers, good luck Cheetor."

Cheetor saluted the soldier as he flew off, "it's times like this… I really miss big bot."
