Transformers Galaxy Force: Thunder Storm
Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers.
Author's Note: There comes a time when the story starts to write itself. I did not plan this chapter.
Species Update:
- Xians (pronounced eX-ee-ans) – It is known that Planet Xians were not originally Transformers, but became that way after years of technological and species evolution. Because of the destruction of their homeworld, the Xian race has all but died; decedents of the survivors are rarely seen, if at all. The fact that those who are still true Xians have Force Chips suggest that the survivors did relocate to Planet Seibertron for a short time, but other than that, how they can transform and use their own type of Force Chip remains a mystery.
Bio Update:
- Backguild (Male Transformer, Unknown) – After Dreadlock resigned his position in the Cybertron Army so he could concentrate on his position as the Chairman of the Space Bridge Alliance, Backguild became the new Deputy Commander. Backguild is the mechanic of the Vanguard Team, and his experience and knowledge – and his paranoia – has gained him a reputation for being self-claimed living proof that bad karma exists. He works hard along with his new partner, Roots, to make sure that everything is in order in the galaxy. Alternate mode is an anti-aircraft tank.
- Roots (Male Micron, Unknown) – A friend of the Micron Team and the Humans, Roots was Vector Prime's partner for a long time. After the Guardian of Space and Time sacrificed himself to stop the Grand Black Hole, Roots did not believe he would ever bind himself to another Transformer. However, working alongside Backguild changed that, and now Roots is an indispensable part of the Cybertron Army. He is also a big help to Backguild and others by translating for Rumble One. Alternate mode is a futuristic blaster/reconnaissance flyer.
- Demolisher (Male Transformer, Unknown) – Practically raised by his friend Guardshell when his parents died early in the war, Demolisher always had a bitter outlook on life. This bitter outlook caused him to betray the Cybertrons and become a Destron for a short amount of time. However, realizing that trust and friendship were better than deceit and enmity, he rejoined the Cybertrons and is currently working with Guardshell and Sonic Bomber to find Super Starscream. Alternate mode is a construction crane.
- Sonic Bomber (Male Transformer, Unknown) – Player, heartbreaker, loner, and the current record holder for the most disobeyed orders in the Cybertron Army, Sonic Bomber is rarely ever seen (or allowed for that matter) on Planet Seibertron. The only reason he hasn't lost his membership in the Cybertron Army is because of his loyalty to his childhood friend, Galaxy Convoy. He disobeys orders just to infuriate the Commander, not to cause problems. He is currently working with Guardshell and Demolisher to find Super Starscream. Alternate mode is a warthog fighter.
- X2 (Planet) – A dead world with the galaxy as its source of light, it was never discovered or given a name until now. Being reshaped in Planet X's image, X2 is Super Starscream's base of operations.
- Noise Maze (Male Xian, Unknown) – Part con-man, part master of disguise, Noise Maze is exactly what he said he was on Animatros: an "Undercover Detective". What neither the Cybertron nor the Destron knew at the time was that he was a detective for his friend and leader, Soundwave. Now he works for Super Starscream, working to transform a dead world into X2 and find more Xians. Alternate mode is an Xian Strike.
- Soundwave (Male Xian, Unknown) – At one time, he worked with Noise Maze to try to avenge his ancestral homeworld. Now he has found a new way to get revenge for Planet X's destruction, and that is by proving that it was unnecessary and restoring his ancestral home. His Condor aids him in his spying on the entire galaxy at Super Starscream's orders. Alternate mode is an Xian Stealth.
- Emission (Female Xian Terraformer, Unknown) – Waking up not knowing what the hell happened to you can be infuriating for anyone, and Emission is no exception. One minute she was flying around and minding her own business, and the next thing she knows is waking up on a strange world without her armor and about a tenth of the size she used to be. Hostile and stubborn, and with the uncanny abilities to detect deception and conjure fire, Emission is determined to find out what happened to her, and punish the one responsible. Alternate mode is an Xian Strike.
Part 5 The Valiant Die But Once.
Chapter 38
She was flying like she always was, admiring the stars. She shifted her course slightly to get a better look and the platinum and green planet she was flying past. It was a beautiful planet, orbited by two moons. Maybe I'll come back here, she thought. Then again, she never went back to anywhere; she had no concept of home. This was because of who she was. Her name was Emission, and she was an Xian; a descendent of the survivors of Planet X.
Emission knew all the tales of her ancestral homeworld; she was a storyteller. She flew from world to world, stopping for a little rest, and then she would leave. She had seen countless worlds, most of them uninhabited. But in the past two years, she had encountered three worlds that were inhabited by beings very similar to her. They called themselves Transformers. They were eager to hear that she was a storyteller, but the minute she began to tell them about Xian lore, they became rather riotous. She couldn't understand it. All she wanted to do was tell them about how Planet X was lost due to the greed of her own people, in hopes that her tales would help them not make the same mistake.
What use is a storyteller if they can't tell their stories? she wondered to herself.
A large rainbow circle appeared, distracting her from her thoughts. She transformed, whistling in amazement. Though she had never heard of a Space Bridge before, she did recognize the structure as some kind of advanced warping of space-time.
It was right then that a fast, white fighter of some kind shot out and ended up colliding with her at high speeds. She let out a gasp of pain as she heard a voice yell, "Oh Shit! I'm Sorry!" and then transfer of momentum had sent her too far away to hear anything else as she fell.
She woke up in pain as she hit Planet Seibertron's atmosphere. She screamed as the heat and pressure began to tear at her armor. She tried to start flying or transform, but the heat waves blurred her visor, and she couldn't transform at high speeds.
I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! she thought furiously, trying to fight back fear.
You won't die.
The voice wasn't in her audio receptors. It seemed to be all around her, encompassing her within and without.
Your time is not yet. You have a great destiny to fulfill. The galaxy needs you, even if they don't know it. Stay strong and do not fail, and you will live long in the legends told in the future.
Who are you? she managed to think through the pain.
I am Primus.
Her fear left her, but not her pain. Emission gasped and writhed as she felt her body shrink. Her armor seemed to sink into her, and she felt like her insides were turning into jelly. Her body began to glow gold and orange as it absorbed the heat of her entry into the atmosphere, using the energy to fuel her transformation. The pain eventually became so great that she passed out, and knew no more.
She continued to fall, creating a large crater when she hit the ground. Luckily, she landed in a remote area. Still protected by the energy of her transformation, she was unhurt by the impact. Her body continued to shake and convulse as her former green and gold armor became chocolate colored Human flesh. Her blue visor disappeared, replaced by deep sea blue eyes. Once the transformation was complete, you could never have guessed that she wasn't a real Human.
Sonic Bomber landed near the crater as the smoke cleared, wondering who he had hit. He was shocked to find an unconscious Human female in the center of the crater, unharmed by the impact. He picked her up carefully so she wouldn't wake, noticing that in spite of the fact that she was a Human, she sparked his interest. He figured that it had to do something with her lack of clothing, and headed to the Sky Dome as fast as he could.
