"The Sky crown was an advanced Imperial Cruiser that was in service around the end of the Decepticon invasion of Earth. Megatron used it as a way to spread fear and terror, making sure humanity was deep in despair." Rodimus said looking at a holographic avatar of the destroyed ship. "I've been overlooking certain aspects of this event, with great curiosity. I think that The Decepticons missed something and didn't bother doing a cleanup, expecting the fire and debris to be enough" Rodimus continued into his audio journal. Rodimus was conducting an investigation into the Sky crown event.

"Roddy" a cute voice said as Rodimus looked up to see Kaguya and Ayame above him. "Hello girls" the Autobot Minor said looking up. "What are you up to?" Kaguya asked. "An old event that has caused me great interest" Rodimus said. "Any particular reason?" Kaguya asked "I just have a feeling, people may have missed something. Something important" Rodimus said looking over the data. "I understand" Kaguya said. "Well, tell us if you find anything good or worthwhile" Kaguya said.

Nunnally was having a midday snooze; even though she was asleep it was anything but restful. It was a horrid memory. She stood motionless as the ship her family was on blew up over and over again, each time it did Nunnally felt the metaphorical pain on those inside.

"NOOO!" she screamed waking up. "Easy, easy" Julie said calming her friend down as Alexis and Lori joined them. "Nightmares?" Lori asked gently "Yeah" Nunnally panted. "Which one?" Alexis asked. "The Sky Crown event" Nunnally said. "That one is a doozie" Julie said. "What did I miss?" Nunnally asked not liking to sleep when classes were on, but due to the Omega search she was required to use some of her class time to replenish her natural energy supply. "I hate feeling like this, it reminds me of when I was crippled" she griped. "You know what the doctor's will say" Lori said. "Don't remind me," she said stretching. "And no NEST visits, your confined to dorms," Rolo said entering with the guys. "Rolo" She whined. "No complaining!" Rolo declared. "Okay" she grumbled.

"Interesting" Rodimus said over looking some data, "What is?" Depth charge asked sitting on the Transformer's couch. "I believe that I may have a rough idea where the Sky Crown went down" Rodimus said, "Where?" Depth Charge asked gluzzing down some energon "In the Pacific Ocean region, so far that's all I know" Rodimus said hearing the latest cyber beast laugh. "What are you watching, a cartoon?" Rodimus asked. "No, 20 ways how to cook crabs," Depth charge answered. "You have a warped sense of humour" Rodimus said. "Dude, I hate crabs" Depth charge said.

On an island in the Pacific a tanned young woman was moving along the beach in an old pickup truck. Soon she came to a shack "I'll come back soon boy" she said opening her door, A man with blonde hair stood there looking at her. "Hey pumpkin" he said embracing the girl and kissing "Hey, yourself" she smiled. "Gag me" said a female voice. "Shut up" an older female voice came chastising the first female voice. "Sorry about that" "Don't be" the tanned girl said.

"Stupid thing," Rodimus growled. "What's wrong?" Springer asked noticing the frustrating look on his face. "The footage of the Sky Crown event, the one from the Britannian satellite cuts off at the explosion" Rodimus said. "What about another country's satellite? I know China has a satellite overlooking the area" Wrench said. "And a NEST satellite was also overhead" Springer said. "Okay, get permission for the satellite data and then look at the same data from the NEST satellite also" Rodimus said. "Yes sir!" they said going about their orders.

On the island the blonde haired man and the old pickup was looking at the ocean. "Why were we the only ones saved?" he asked hearing nothing but rough idling "I should've been with them" he continued. "But if you didn't survive, we wouldn't have met" the tanned girl said, "Yes I understand" "One day, you'll get over your survivor's guilt" "But what if we're the last imperials left?" the man asked.

"Okay so we're getting the data now" Springer said. "Good, place it on screen" Rodimus said looking at two different angles, "The left one shows the Chinese Satellite, and the one of the right is NEST's" Wrench said. "Play it" Rodimus ordered. The footage began to play showing Megatron destroying the Skycrown, "And this is the place where it fuzzes out" Rodimus said as the ship began to fall "No way, look" Wrench said. On the video, it showed a portal opened up and an Autobot appeared, pulling an escape pod out of its holder, "That's why it went fuzzy; they didn't want people to know that someone survived." Springer said. "Now, to identify our friend.

"Oh man I wish he was here" Bulkhead said. "Who was?" Kallen, now in the later stages of her pregnancy, said. "Kup, A fearsome war veteran, he took on an entire battalion of Decepticons at the Battle of Iacon, he held them off of fifteen solar cycles, or days in your terminology. After those fifteen days, he had no ammo very little energon and he's entire squadron was in stasis lock. Finally Optimus Prime and his squad arrived to medivac them out of there." Bulkhead explained. "Wow he sounds tough," Kallen said. "Not only that, but he saved my life there, I was only a sparkling at the time, so I don't remember much" Bulkhead said. Rodimus over heard the conversation. "That's it" he said leaving.

Meanwhile hidden from anything on Earth was Soundwave, he was busy collecting data about what was going on while Megatron hid on Saturn's moon of Titan. "This is interesting, I have located the Hero of Iacon; Kup Location: A small Pacific island. I will eradicate this glitch; Soundwave Transform" Soundwave said transforming into his jet mode.

NEST Base Alpha
"I've found it!" Rodimus said happily "Where?" Springer asked. "An island which about five hours away from the eastern coast of Hawaii," Rodimus said. "I'll open a bridge there scope out the place and report back, if I find anything" Rodimus said entering the space bridge. "Good luck" Moonracer said. "I hope the cons or Dark beasts don't get him" Blur said slowly. "I know" Springer said.

The island
"That was smooth sailing" Rodmius said as the Sky defence team came out after him. "So this is the remains of the Sky Crown, impressive, only a high powered explosive round could've destroyed this ship" Rodimus said looking around, "Now however; it is nothing more than an improvised Tomb" he said as he saw grave markers and names on the doors to the escape pods. "May they rest in peace" he said. "Hold it right there" a rough voice said. "Easy now, I'm not here to attack anyone," he said slowly getting up. "Nice try, now turn around" the voice ordered. "Okay," the Autobot Minor said getting up "Who are you?" the gruff voice said "Rodimus Minor, NEST Autobot Commander" Rodimus said. "Autobot, heh?" the voice said as two blue optics travelled down to the insignia on his chest plate

NEST Base Alpha
An alarm sounded. "What is it?" Duke asked. "An unknown energon signature, it appears to be heading to the Pacific" Epps said. "Where exactly?" Euphie asked entering, "Five hours off the coast of Hawaii" Epps said. "There's nothing there. Keep watching it" Euphie ordered. "Yes ma'am" Epps saluted. "Duke; prepare a team to mobilise just in case" Euphie said. "Yes ma'am" Duke said.

The island
"So, you're An Autobot Minor Officer, Nice to meet ya, name's" the older mech started. "Kup, the hero of Iacon, celebrated Autobot warrior and a damn good friend" Rodimus said. "Yep, that's me alright. But how did you know I was a good friend?" Kup asked "My dad's Optimus Prime" "your Optimus' sparkling, how is the old commander anyways?" Kup asked. "Not bad, he's on Cyberton currently after spending the last few years here" Rodimus said, soon turning his attention to the sky. "What is it?" Kup asked. "I'm not sure, I sense an energon signature I haven't come across before" "I have its Soundwave" Kup said as Soundwave landed. "Kup, Hero of Iacon confirm target for deletion" Soundwave said. "Like you could" Kup said. Rodimus prepared his bow, "No offence kid, but leave this one to me" Kup said. "No, I'm charged with the protection of Earth from the Decepticons, and I must up hold that protection no matter what" Rodimus declared holding the Star Sabre. "Very well then" Kup said.

Duke's team was heading out to the island when he received new intel. "Alright listen up, that unknown energon source has been identified as Soundwave, a Decepticon who escaped and hid, now he's on that beach with Rodimus and another Autobot, our goal is to make sure that teh fight is contained." Duke stated. "Sir, I have evidence of human population down there" Lennox said, "Understood" Duke said.

Kup and Rodimus were battling Soundwave with everything they had and Soundwave was just starting to be dazed. "We have to hold him off, while I get the humans" "Humans?" Rodimus asked. "Yeah, some royals from that ship" Kup said leaving "Survivors?" Soundwave said walking forward. "Damn, he heard" "Ravage launch" Soundwave ordered as his jaguar partner took off for the hunt. "Not good" Rodimus said taking off after Ravage.

"Alanna!" Kup shouted as the tanned girl come out of teh hut followed by the survivors, "A Decepticon is here" Kup said "Hop in" Alanna said "Of course" "Wait Schneizel, are you actually getting that thing?" his younger sister Karine said "Schneizel is right, what do you thin Guinevere?" Odysseus said "We have nbo choice, we have to ride in that thing" "Or there's me!" Rodimus said wrewstling with Ravage "Kup a little help here?" Rodimus asked as a blast hit Ravage, "Anya, Nunnally, what too you so long?" Rodimus asked. "They were just finished a while ago" Nunnally said "Wait is that?" she asked magnifying the vierw screen, "A few more royals" Rodimus said. "Schneizel?" Nunnally asked. "Nunnally?" teh group asked. "Okay new plan I'll take Karine, Odysseus and Guinevere, Kup take Schneizel and the girl. You two fall back" Rodimus said as a Black Hawk entered the view, "Duke fall back!" Rodimus said as a space bridge activated allowiung the NEST groups to fall back to Safety.

NEST
"Are we clear?" Nunnally asked. "Yes ma'am" Duke said landing with his strike team on the tarmac. "Where are we?" Guinevere asked "Diego Garcia: NEST Base Delta." Duke said "It is best equipped for medical attention" Epps said. "Now I wish to converse with whoever is in charge of teh Empire." Schneizel said as Alanna held onto his arm. "This way sir, tell teh techs to send a transmission to NEST Sector Dragon" Duke said.

"More Paperwork Cornelia?" Lelouch asked getting irritated at the amount he had to do, "How father did this I will never know?" he griped as the knight of seven, a shy New Zealander named, Chelsea entered. "Yes, Chelsea?" Lelouch asked, "Um call for you from Base Delta" she said. "Who is it, and why Base Delta?" Lelouch asked looking at Cornelia.

"What is it?" Lelouch asked via hologram "Lelouch?" Schneizel asked. "SCHNEIZEL, How are you alive?" Lelouch asked shocked to see his brother alive. "Believe I wish I wasn't. But me, Oddie, Gwen and Karine were rescued by an Autobot and rested on an island, where I found someone and had no contact with." "You met a girl, who's not a noble?" Cornelia asked. "Ah, Cornelia hopw wonderful to see you" Schneizel said. "And yes, her name's Alanna" "Well then I'll have to bring you and the others over to Base Alpha for a face to face chat" Lelouch said, "After the paperwork" Cornelia said. "Oh man" Lelouch moaned, making his older brother laugh.
