Chapter 7
The combined group of Autobots and Decepticons had assembled in the conference hall of the space station.
In front of the members of both factions, Ultra Magnus was holding a summing-up about the situation they were facing.
"Autobots and Decepticons", he addressed them. "As you are all aware we are facing a new crisis."
Most of his audience were already informed about this events, but only a few knew the details.
The two Primes and Galvatron and Cyclonus on the other side were each sitting in the center of their respective group of followers.
"A old enemy of all of us has returned", Ultra Magnus announced.
"The Fallen, once also known as Megatronus Prime is an ancient Cybertronian, one of the Original Thirteen", he continued his explanation.
"In prehistorical times he turned away from his brothers and his creator and became a herald of Unicron. Together with his master he destroyed neighboring star systems, waged a war that devastated the old Cybertron and ultimately tried to annihilate the entire universe.
As you all know The Fallen had been banished from this reality,
But that was not his end. Several years ago he allied himself with another of our old enemies."
Ultra Magnus began now with the description of the second threat they were facing.
"The creature that had once been known to us as Cabal was a being from another universe. He came from a reality that only consisted of chaos and destruction.
It was a experiment by members of an now long gone organic species that brought him to our world millions of years ago. The first thing he did after his arrival was to devastate their planet and to send their race to extinction.
As we have later found out, he was only a small part of a intelligence that was controlling this dimension and had been separated by the incident. Like a single cell of a larger organism.
This entity is able to devour entire universes.
The being that had called itself "Cabal" was only a part of the monster.
Several years ago those two made an attempt to open a warp-gate to this other universe after destabilizing the time-stream.
This would have led to the destruction of our reality. The world as we know it would have been consumed by what was waiting on the other side.
As you all know that attempt had been stopped in the last moment.
But now The Fallen has returned. He had appeared in another of the parallel universes and there he wants to try it again", he ended his speech.
