Starscream opened fire on the alliance leaders who all took covered and counter attacked. "Suzaku, orbital bombardment NOW!" Lelouch ordered. "Give us a target Lelouch" Suzaku said "Starscream, west of Hadron shot!" Lelouch said firing a shot east of Starscream "Understood" Suzaku said. Soon thunder boomed over head "Huh?" Starscream asked looking up as a hadron blast came towards him "Analysing energy signature: Human made energy projectile" Starscream's computer said "Nailed that bastard!" Suzaku laughed.
"An orbital bombardment, clever only not clever enough" Starscream laughed looking upwards before flying "Oh no" Lelouch said "The ships are in danger, if not from Trypticon; it's Starscream" Lelouch said "We have to stop him" Megatron said "Jetfire, take down Starscream" Optimus ordered "Yes sir!" Jetfire said taking off as Megatron reloaded.
"We need more than that to stop him, something has altered him but what I cannot say" Megatron said "What was sealed inside Trypticon?" Optimus asked "A dark substance that not even I would dare handle: Dark Energon, it could supposedly reanimate those lost to us; I commissioned the experiment when a friend's femme went offline. The mech agreed and became head of the experiment. A few weeks later I discovered that the experiment was a failure and that it has produced a dangerous type or radiation that when exposed to it drove them insane and they entered a prolonged rage. I shut down the experiment and locked it away in Trypticon" Megatron said "Who was the mech?" Lelouch asked. "Starscream, he had lost Slipstream his femme offlined by a rogue energon explosion" Megatron said "I heard about that, but nothing could be proven about who did it" Guardian said "There were rumours of rogue transformers, but unfortunately there was no evidence to suggest otherwise" Optimus said
"STARSCREAM!" Jetfire shouted going after his old friend "Don't try and stop me Jetfire, they must be punished!" Starscream shouted "Who?" Jetfire asked "The High councils, for what they did to her, my Slipstream, my spark's delight" Starscream said with a rare emotion in his voice: grief. Jetfire knew that the two were close, heck they were as close as Optimus and Elita. But because Starscream was a decepticon didn't mean that Starscream didn't have feelings either. "I'm sorry, she was a good warrior" Jetfire said "One of the best femmes" Starscream said before firing at Jetfire. "So be it" Jetfire said firing back. "This is not going to be easy" Jetfire said
Optimus and Lelouch tried to figure out a plan when a groan was heard. "What was that?" Lelouch asked. "Not sure" Optimus said, before a sleek metallic purple and black car stopped in front of them "What is that?" Lelouch asked. "A drone, but not one of Megatron's that means it's an experiment of Starscream!" Optimus said. "So that where the prototype for my drones came from" Megatron said "So Shockwave must have had the plans from Starscream" Lelocuh said opening fire with his main gun. "So that details that Shockwave must have access to the research being done" Jazz said slicing a drone "So what does that matter?" Brawl asked crushing a couple of drones. "Shockwave could be working for Starscream" Optimus said as the last drone stood surrounded by the members of the alliance gathered. "Fire" Megatron said blasting it with his cons. "Megatron, we could've learnt something from it" Optimus growled. "I think Megatron just told us what we needed to know look" Lelouch said point to the down drone's spark. "By the matrix" Optimus gasped
Where a spark should be was a shard of dark pulsating crystal. "Dark Energon, so that is what's powering Starscream's army" Optimus said. "That is not good at all" Megatron said, these words caught the mind of Lelouch, if he had access to this kind of energy; what else could he do, all he knew was that Starscream had to be taken down, and fast "Jetfire to Optimus, we have a situation here" Jetfire said via commlink "What is it Jetfire?" Optimus asked "I've lost visual on Starscream" Jetfire said "Where!" Megatron barked. "Upper atmosphere" Jetfire said "The cruisers!" Lelouch said with fear of what could happen. "Is there any way to track him?" Optimus asked. "Negative, it's like he's jamming us" Jetfire said "This is bad" Optimus groaned. "I'll try and have my tech team pick up his signal" Megatron said
Star Knight
"Energon signature off the port side" Coby said activating the shields. "What is it?" Nunnally asked taking the commander's seat at the helm "It looks like a Decepticon!" Rad said analysing it "Do we know who yet?" Jake asked. "It's Starscream, and he's charging all weapons" Lori said "Brace for impact!" Kicker said strapping himself into a seat as the others did. "Impact in five" Coby said as the ship rocked and the lights flickered. "Shield's are down by 62%, man that must have been a powerful shot to drain our shields with" Kicker said "Damage in the engine room; reactors 2, 4 and 8 are down; reactors 1, 5, 7 are at half power" Lori said "Weapons down, jump drive is down, communications re down; we're dead in the water" Jake said "That's not good" Coby said "Gee, YOU THINK!" the group shouted at him
Starscream fired another barrage at the damaged ship, "Incoming again!" Rad said as the ship rumbled and rocked. "All systems offline!" Lori panicked "I can't move my legs!" Nunnally shouted "What?" Jake asked checking her legs. He felt something wet "Blood?" Jake asked. "What?" the girls asked "Nunnally's hurt; oh crap Lelouch isn't going to like that" Coby said "We need urgent medical help, the closet ship is the Astral Dragon but with no way of hailing it we're done for" Lori said "Hold on" Coby said pulling out his laptop "This may take some time; in the meanwhile get Nunnally help!" Coby said "Alright" Jake said as he pulled out his communicator "This is Jake, can anyone hear me?" Jake asked not knowing the answer. "Please if anyone can hear this, we need a medivac immediately!" Jake said "This is the Astral Dragon, how many to beam aboard?" the captain asked. "All crew members so about 12 or so" Jake said "Coby, what are you doing?" Lori asked. "Asking for help" Coby said "Understood, come on you can finish that on the Astral Dragon" Lori said rubbing his arm in a loving manner. "Alright" Coby said kissing Lori's cheek.
As soon as they were warped across a medical team took Nunnally to the medical centre "What happened?" Suzaku asked. "we're not sure, one minute it was okay the next Starscream was attacking us and destroyed our ship" Jake said "This is bad he's interesting his plans soon Trypicon will attack and won't stop until he's wiped out everything!" Suzaku said terrified "And then he'll be free to conquer everything" Lori said "Including Earth" Coby added "That is not good" Suzaku panicked "Come on Earth's driven off the cons before and what are the odds that they'll do it again" Jake said proudly "Great odds" Julie said smiling "Right now this is the planet of the Autobots, so we'll triumph here like we did on Earth all those times the cons tried to wipe us out" Jake said raising the hopes of the crew of the Astral Dragon.
Cyber Beast Mausoleum
"Hope has been ignited in those who was scared, it is time we joined this fight" Corona Prime said "I concour, that coward Starscream needs to be stopped, Cyber Beast Transform and Roar!" Leobreaker said as the door opened and the ten cyber beast raced out into the light of the burning buildings that were Cybertron's Metropolis "From the light I come Corona Prime!" Corona Prime said taking to the skies with Airrazor and Gazer.
"Land division protect the leaders!" Leobreaker ordered as they ran head first into an army of Dark Energon drones "Mindless machines!" Rhinox growled charging with his horn down and ploughed through several troop lines "Keep going" Howler said to Snowpaw and Rattrap "Yeah, sure it's not like the fate of the universe lays in the hands of us Autobots!" Rattrap said as an explosion nearly knocked him back "Keep Rattrap!" Leobreaker shouted "Yes Sir!" Rattrap responded "I see Optimus and Megatron" Depth Charge said as he glided above the land based beasts "Alright Howler: take the cats with you to help Optimus!" Leobrekaer said "Yes Sir!" Holwer said as he Cheetor and Snowpaw diverted to help Optimus
Astral Dragon
"Here he comes!" Coby said as Starscream appeared on sensor "Wait, three contacts coming from the opposet direction!" Lori said "The other three are help" Nunnally said coming onto the bridge in a wheelchair that protected her legs "Nunnally, how are you?" Jake asked "I'm fine honey" Nunnally said kissing his cheek "What did you mean the other three are help?" Rad asked.
Starscream had locked onto the Astral Dragon when his sensor detected three objects behind him "Huh?" he asked as three birds soared past him "Corona Prime transform" "Airrazor transform" "Gazer transform" the three said "CYBER BEASTS!" Starscream said as Corona swooped him "So we meet again Dark one, I know about your experiments with Dark Energon" Corona said as he drew his swords "Another time perhaps" Starscream said only to be blocked by Airrazor and Gazer "So you think you can get rid of me is that it?" Starscream asked "We will try Decepticon!" Corona said as he swooped at Starscream. "DRONES!" Starscream shouted before booking to the planet's surface. "Don't let him get away" Airrazor said
"Soon my master plan will be a success" Strascream said as multiple air defence drones attacked him. "Bah, you are nothing towards me!" he shouted blowing them away as he descended into the planet's inner core "Finally the Citadel of the Primes, their powers will be mine" Starscream cackled until a being of pure energon stood before him. "DO you really think you can control the ultimate cybertronian power?" the being said "Not I, but another; one far more stronger than myself" Starscream said as a shadow appeared behind him "You are not welcomed here fallen one" the being said before the shadow gain a body "You are wrong great sentinel, I am the only one who is welcome here in the Dark Citadel" The Fallen said turning the once great citadel of the primes into a dark citadel with Dark Energon "Now for my final touch Trypicon come to me!" he ordered.
Space
Trypicon roared before heading to Cybertron's surface. "What, Trypticon is on the move" Gazer said "But why?" Corona Prime asked. "Sir, I'm picking up massive dark Energon headings from the core fo Cybertron" Airrazor said "What?" Corona asked seeing the black energy vortex swirling over energon "Stop Trypticon, he's heading there" Corona said "But why?" Nunnally asked from on board the ship "I have no idea" Corona said
