Transformers Galaxy Force: Thunder Storm

Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers.

Chapter 129

At the explosion's center, there was nothing but white space. For a brief moment, there was no movement. Then, slowly, Storm Convoy pulled his blade from Super Starscream's chest. For a while, there was no reaction. Storm Convoy had won. Then light returned to the Titan's violet optics.

Super Starscream was still alive!

Though he hurt everywhere due to battle fatigue, Storm Convoy prepared for his opponent to strike. He was surprised when Super Starscream simply began to chuckle.

"I see now," Super Starscream said. "Sheer determination to protect allowed you to draw power directly from Planet Force to turn you into Terraformers. The reason why the two of you combined can use such great power, is because you have two forms to store those vast amounts; a Human form and Transformer form. The power you wield is exponentially more powerful than that of a normal Transformer.

"And it's all because of determination. All because of Love."

Slowly, Super Starscream rose to his feet, "Storm Convoy, you are no longer my enemy, and are welcome at any time on X2. Tell Galaxy Convoy I accept the terms of the Alliance." Then, he Warped away.

Storm Convoy floated in that white space for a while, staring at where Super Starscream once was. Then he sheathed his blades and turned, flying out of the fading white space.

When Tsunami spotted Storm Convoy, she almost couldn't believe what she was seeing. The other Cybertrons watched in awe as Storm Convoy landed and separated. Leaning against each other, Rodimus and Storm Gunner slowly walked toward the others, their fatigue obvious.

"Soushireikan," Rodimus weakly saluted. "Super Starscream has retreated, and says he accepts the terms of the Alliance."

Galaxy Convoy was surprised, but filed the information away for later. "Well done, Rodimus Convoy, Storm Gunner. I'm proud of you both."

"Can we go home now?" Storm Gunner asked.

In Galaxy Convoy's office, Coby's and Lori's parents burst out laughing. When the laughter died, they silently talked, agreeing on a simple action that would change everything for the better.

When Rodimus and Storm Gunner returned to Earthfall, they were placed in the medical wing, and First Gunner was called. While waiting for their Terraformer daughter to wake up, Lori's parents relaxed in the same lounge where Coby, Lori, and Bud often hung out with the Microns. Eduardo's cell phone rang, and he quickly answered it.

"Hello? Yes. … He is? … Yes! Of course! … All right. … Yes, we can do that. … Yes, we have room. We'll pick him up. … Yes, sir. Thank you. Goodbye."

"Who was that?" Diana asked.

"That was Judge Williams," Eduardo answered. Diana's eyes widened as she realized what her husband was talking about. "He got early parole. Dan's coming home!"
