Empress Kallen now stood in front of Chief Engineer Earl Lloyd Asplund, "Um Lloyd what may I ask are these?" she asked as Marie crawled around her feet "Knightmares that can fight in the vacuum of space without any hassles, the ones you're looking at now are the Quasar series and the Titan class" Lloyd said indicating the sleek looking knightmare frames. "Good, I have a feeling we'll be needing these in the field very soon" Kallen said walking off "Yes your majesty" Lloyd said before going back to the fine tuning of the Knightmares.
"Alright, we know of the Decepticon occupation of Cybertron is being forced back thanks to the united alliance, but that does not mean that we can take it easy here people" Milly said starting the briefing to the remaining NEST officers at Base Alpha. "We have received new information that the Decepticon Starscream has been in stasis for a while, leading them to make a clone Starscream; the one that fought on Earth here under Megatron's command but now the real Starscream has reawakened and has built an army of Decpticon drones that are powered by Dark Energon" Milly said as a black crystal appeared on the screen behind her. "Dark Energon is said to have come from Unicron the destroyer himself, but we have discovered something else about its origin; that is why I'll be calling on Prof Nina Simmons to explain what I cannot" Milly said as Nina approached the stage.
"Thank you Milly, even though it is said Dark Energon comes from Unicron himself, that is a lie; as it was the original Starscream and Jetfire who created something called Super Energon; but something happened and the Energon was tainted with something that caused a corruption like infection to all transformers, it was also shown to re activate the offline transformers as what we would call zombies" Nina started explaining before showing a zombie, its eye were unfocused and clouded, blue and black energon oozed from its joints. "After studying this dark substance, a counter was discovered by accident" Nina said. "What is it?" The Empress asked. "Sakura Engeron" Nina said "How?" Milly asked.
"Watch this, I used a cybertron animal drone and the small fragment of the dark energon" Nina said as the dog like Cybertronian was reactivated with the dark crystal; the same happened to him as the zombie transformers. Only this one was more vicious, he snapped at anything that moved. "WHOA!" Shirley said just missing being drone food. "Now for the Sakura Energon" Nina said as a pink liquid was poured over the drone. Soon a white light covered the drone, turning it from a feral black unrecognisable animal, to a White Tiger autobot who nuzzled Nina's leg "No way!" Milly exclaimed seeing the transformation of the tiger autobot. "SO in ending those who are affected with Dark Energonb can be returned to their original state with Sakura Energon, thank you" Nina said bowing as the group walked out "He'll need a name" Shirley said "Who?" Milly asked. "The new Autobot" Shirley replied. "I suppose, but what would be a good name for him?" Milly asked.
Marie was crawling very close to the edge of a catwalk, being looked after by the new autobot who was walking behind her, making sure that she as safe. He took her eyes off her for a second, observing a noise being made; which turned out to be one of Wheeljack's experiment blowing up. He turned back to find the young girl about to go over the edge of the catwalk. He managed to stop her descend with his jaws, he was looking left and right for help to make sure she wouldn't go splat on the concrete below.
Wheeljack was cover in soot from his latest failure. "Note to self; do not mix oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen together near a flame generation unit" Wheeljack said as he heard whimpering "Huh, since did we have a dog living here?" he asked himself looking up to see the cause of the whimper. "Hey Marie, MARIE!" Wheeljack exclaimed placing his hand underneath the young girl "That was a close on huh?" Wheeljack sadi as Marie crawled back onto the catwalk as Euphie walked along it. "There you are Marie" she said picking up her niece making the bestial autobot collapse on the ground "Oh, you must be the new autobot Nina brought in" Euphie said as the tiger just gave her a look that said 'get lost and deal with the baby' "Well I better get back to it" Wheeljack said leaving the area and going back to his workshop. "And its time a certain young princess went for a nap" Euphie carrying Mari away as the white tiger just laid there.
In the hangar Kallen was going over the systems of the Guren SEITEN "So how long has it been since you went into battle last?" Lloyd asked the empress, "A long time; so long in fact I've forgotten what it felt like to be in one to be honest" Kallen said typing something into the console, "The feeling never does quite go away your highness" a voice said "Thank you for your input Cornelia, now prepare for battle" Kallen said "Understood" Cornelia said saluting the empress.
"I can't believe their actually putting a team together as reinforcements for teh Cybertorn teams" Wheeljack said as he and Brawn checked out the Xantium to make sure it was space worthy. "We need to be prepared after all there has been rumors of the Fallen's rust pile of a frame disappeared and you know that has to do with the dark energon" Brawn said as Bluestreak and Smokescreen lead the team of Autobots and humans into the room "We're ready to head out" Kallen said "Yep, just hope on board that shuttle and it will take you up to the Xanthium" Wheeljack said as he and a few of the more scientific Autobots stayed behind "You're not coming?" Kallen asked. "NO I have to maintain order here and with Britannia and Japan defenceless I must stay behind just in case" Wheeljack said "I understand, hopefully you'll be safe" Kallen said boarding the shuttle with the new animal autobot underneath her feet "I think we'll call you Steeljaw" She said as the tiger nuzzled her hand.
Cybertron
The united alliance was still dealing with the drones that Starscream was sending to block them The Cyber Beasts had joined the fight, but for every drone they took down ten more would take that one's place. It was an impossible scenario to win. "Keep trying men, we must win for Cybertron" MEgatron said as he pushed forward only to keep taking damage "Megatron fall back!" OPtimus shouted "No Prime I must keep fighting!" MEgatron shouted out as several pulse blasts shredded his out layer of armour "MEGATRON!" Optimus cried out loud as he blasted back. ON the other of the bridge NEST forces were in full retreat "Optimus, I'm sorry but we couldn't hold the bridge" Lelouch said. "Never mind that just fall back and make sure that no one is lost" Optimus said defending Megatron.
"What is going on out here?" a voice growled. Rhinox turned around to see "DARKFIRE!" he cried as the dragon dark beast stood there looking like he just woke up from stasis. "You go into stasis only to be awoken by whatever those things are" he growled before hurling a purple fireball at the endless tide of drones, melting them into slag. "Whoa" Rattrap said "keep up rat" Darkfire said as he griped another one in his tail claw before flinging into a pile of molten energon infused cybertronium deposit. "DARK BEASTS: ARISE AND DESTROY!" Darkfire ordered the nine beasts behind him.
Astral Dragon
"Guys look there, the core" Lori said pointing to an energy vortex "Magnify it, I want to know what exactly it is" Jake said "What for?" Anya asked. "Our friends and family are down there fighting against impossible odds and now this thing comes along" Jake growled. "Guys it just got worse, look" Julie said as something was emerging from the vortex "It can't be" Nunnally said "It's impossible he was destroyed" she gasped as she recognised what was emerging from the vortex "What is it?" Coby asked as he saw how scared Nunnally was over who was emerging from the vortex "How did he even get back here?" Nunnally asked as all she felt was pure unaltered fear as the vortex closed. "Something I never wished to see again in my lifetime or anyone else's lifetime: The Fallen" Nunnally said as her body began to quake out of fear.
Cybertron
The whole surface started to shake and crumble around the battlefield as pillar like object shot out of the ground and into the air giving off an energy beam that fanned out "All of Cybertron hear me" a voice said as a pair of familiar red eyes flash in the darkness "No" Optimus said "It's not possible" Lelouch said. "My master, The Fallen has returned." Megatron said as his loyalty for the Fallen was reactivating "Fi9ght it" Dark fire said "I'm trying; but his power is too great for me to hold out against" Megatron groaned. "You're world is now mine to control and no one can stop me, not vene this great alliance you have forged, allow me to reveal to you how feeble this alliance is DECEPTICONS ATTACK!" The Fallen ordered as the drone changed colours from Chrome and violet to a black colour scheme with orange energy. "What?" Lelocuh asked. "This was my plan all along, the complete and total domination of Cybertron, now I have control of everything" The Fallen said as Optimus felt a pain in his chest; "Even the Matrix of Leadership" He gloated as the supreme commander of the Autobots writhed in pain and torment from the infected matrix of leadership. "And now behold my fortress: TRYPTICON!" The fallen said as colossal monster rose up from the vortex in the same colour scheme as the drone of the fallen's new army. "DEATH TO THE LIGHT!" the fallen said as all the decepticons bowed to the planet's new ruler "And now for the Earth" he cackled as a massive fleet of air drone entered a transwarp to head for Earth.
"NO!" Lelouch screamed as they plan just went to the Pit in a hand basket "All Autobots and Humans FALL BACK DOUBLE TIME!" Ironhide ordered as Jazz and Leobreaker hoisted Optimus up as his body started to rust from the corrupted matrix of leadership "He must have gotten into the citadel of the Primes" Suzaku guessed as all Autobots and humans retreated as blast after blast of energon, plasma and missiles barley missed them. "We've lost" Lelouch said as grief and sorrow "We'll get Cybertron back, don't you worry" Jazz said as he fired off a plasma bolt from a turret before several plasma shards destroyed it. "We will not lose this planet!" Lelouch said as he piloted his frame back to his ship
