Chapter 5

Time-line 4: Planet Chaar, the year 2008

Cyclonus was watching his troops who were assembled on the surface of the planet, close to their new base.

Many of them were in a miserable state, damaged and low on energon.

After the last battle with the Autobots they were still in bad shape.

Galvatron had vanished after the battle with Unicron. They had never found out for sure what had happened to the former leader.

After Galvatron“s disappearance he, along with Sourge, had taken over. But it had turned out that the luck was not on their side.

First they had lost Cybertron to the Autobots. As Unicron had destroyed a great part of their army, they were not longer able to hold the planet. A short time later the Autobots had regrouped and forced them off from most of their other strongholds.

They were constantly low on energon and could barely hold up to fight. But they refused to give up.

"Soundwave", he addressed the communication officer, "give me a full status report."

"One warrior dead, twelve damaged, five of them temporally dysfunctional for duty, energon storage depleted." He gave the devastating resume in his monotonous voice.

"Thank you Soundwave", he said.

Cyclonus knew the situation was bad, desperate even.

He thought it could hardly get any worse. He was wrong.

Only a few light-minutes away from Chaar, a hole in the universe had been opened.

The time rift had grown active in their universe and it was expanding, a thousand times faster than it had been in the past.

It became visible on the planet very quickly, but it was already too late. It was too late before it even started.

What they didn“t knew was that the same phenomenon appeared also above Cybertron, earth and from there spreading further over the entire universe.

"Scourge", he called out, "what is that?"

The Sweep scanned the anomaly with his advanced sensors and all he could do was stare.

"The end", he said cryptically.

In only minutes their planet itself was being ripped apart.

What none of them was aware of, this was the time-line where Galvatron traveled from into the past, this was the time-line that was being erased.
