Transformers Galaxy Force: Thunder Storm

Chapter 131

In the center of the galaxy, a supermassive black hole continued to recycle the matter and energy that was used up. Old stars were slowly pulled in, before being torn apart into their most basic elements and blasted back into space. It was on the very edge of this massive recycler's light year wide rotation disk that a small world existed, a world that housed an ancient race.

Or rather, what's left of it, a figure thought. He turned his gaze away from the revolving beauty in the sky. He was headed for a special place among his people.

The Sanctuary of the Fallen.

Entering, the Sanctuary's black, foreboding walls seemed to block out all happiness. Etched on these walls was a story, a story that told of their ancestors. Their ancestors were powerful, until, according to legend, they attempted to tamper and control the power of a foreign deity of some sort. The Forbidden Technology destroyed them, banishing them to their current, pitiful existence.

Entering the Chamber of Sorrow, he bowed before the ancient figure on the throne. This being was the only living survivor of the time when their people tampered with the Forbidden Technology. This was because this being created the Forbidden Technology, and was cursed to live to see his people suffer for his sins.

However, because of his penance, he was their leader, so he was listened to, and was bowed to, as if he were king.

"You summoned, Lord Fallen?"

Light slowly returned to the ancient Xian's optics as he replied in a raspy, old voice, "Yes, Soundblaster. I am glad you could come, my student. The Fallen cannot live forever."

"Vengeance will not save our people, only penance," Soundblaster agreed, rising. "What does my Master wish of his Apprentice?"

"You have learned, Soundblaster. It is time I showed you, no, gave you, what is now rightfully yours. If you are worthy, then the time is coming that the children of Planet X will no longer be a memory. But, if like so many others, you are unworthy, you will die."

"What?" Soundblaster asked, both excited, and scared.

The Fallen stood, raising his hands, "Behold, the Forbidden Technology, the power of a God!" An orange disk appeared, rimmed with gold, and bearing a gold symbol. "This is the source of the Xian Force Chip, the Forbidden Technology that can restore us if placed in the right hands, but destroys those who are not worthy of its power. It is known by its foreign name: Planet Force. Reach out, and touch it."

Carefully, Soundblaster reached out, grasping one of the golden spikes. The disk glowed, and then stopped, vanishing. Soundblaster knew it had accepted him as the new Master.

Smiling for the first time in eons, the Fallen sighed. "My time has come. Remember what I have taught you, Master Soundwave of the Xian Race. Power misused is power abused, and power abused devours the abuser." Light seemed to surround the Fallen as his body vanished. His final thought was, I hope the deity known as Primus will forgive me for my evil deeds. I should have never tried to copy and harness His power.

When the Fallen was gone, Soundwave left the Sanctuary, which crumpled behind him. His chest compartment opened, a black bird unfolding and perching on his wing, letting out a few chirps.

"No, Hell Buzzsaw," Soundblaster said. "I don't think he's coming back. He's finally at peace. I am the leader now, the servant of my people." And he promised to serve them well.
