Chapter 1
The Ancient One
Outside of space-time
Andromeda Potter smiles in victory, finally after so many attempts and after so long, she had succeeded. In her hands is a simple cube, however this cube is made of an unknowable metal and covered with esoteric runes that Andromeda had spent countless years studying, rediscovering or creating. For the simple purpose of creating this cube, this small unassuming cube with the power to create worlds. But more than that, the power to create life.
She named it Creatus (Child) in a language that had long since died.
But for the beings created from that powerful cube, there was another name.
A name that would be the source of countless wars.
The Allspark.

Millennia after Andromeda has cast her Creatus into the world, she received a message from it. It's children had grown up and had declared war on one another, their war had grown so much that it threatened their planet.
To protect their world one faction had evacuated it, it was now landing on a planet, a planet like it's mothers stories.
Andromeda smiles sadly her Creatus' creations would be headed for Earth.

Another call, a young human had been judged worth by her Creatus. Andromeda smiles and begins to open a gate into the space-time of her child.

Mission City
With no other choice Sam Witwicky pushes the Allspark into Megatron's chest to save Optimus Prime. A powerful wave of energy explodes from the Allspark into Megatron's spark. The wave then vanishes and all that is left is a gaping hole in Megatron's chest where his Spark used to be.
Optimus looks down sadly at the offlined body of Megatron and notices a shard of the Allspark. As he reaches down to collect it a power shockwave reverberates as if space itself was being torn asunder. The last time he'd felt something like this was the creation of a Space-Bridge, 'But the technology and knowledge of how to do so was lost with the Allspark, wasn't it?'
Optimus steps back as a small tear in space-time appears nearby, he watches as it opens and steps back in shock as a human woman steps through. His sensors say that the portal she just stepped through was linked to a point of space-time so cold that it was beyond the scope of his sensors. The atmosphere around her starts to harden and solidify. She steps forwards and the hardened atmosphere shatters as the portal slams shut and releases a loud crack as the fabric of space-time seals itself.
Optimus focuses on the woman and once more steps back in shock, while at a glance she looked human a more in-depth scan shows that she isn't. Her hands instead of being flesh were made of material similar to his own, but many times more advanced, her eyes glow with optics of unknown power and a internal scan reveals her body to be a perfect balance of organic and synthetic with a unknown power generator resting right next to her heart and some sort of neural net connecting her synthetic and organic parts. A second circulatory system that appears to be carrying… Optimus Prime's optics widen in shock. This woman had Energon flowing through her body!
Andromeda looks around in fear, she'd heard her Creatus screaming in pain and had wrenched open space-time with a loud sonic wave rather than her usually silent and gentle easing open of space-time. She'd even forgot to put a temperature shield around her portal and had only just remember an atmosphere shield to prevent the planet's atmosphere being sucked out into the void.
She opens her senses for her Creatus only to find remnants of its existence. She looks around and finds the large creation nearby. She stalks over to it. As she walks Sam tries to walk up to her only for Optimus to stop him "Be careful Sam, we don't know what her purpose is here, all I can tell you is that she has parts similar to a Cybertronian and that they are perfectly melded with her human parts"
Andromeda glances at the other creation, a large being of around thirty feet with red and blue coloring and a flame paint job. She dismisses him as a threat with just a glance. She stalks over to the dead creation with the monstrous appearance, she starts to cry a mixture of tears and Energon when she picks out a shard of her Creatus. Sam notices this "Is she crying for Megatron?"
William Lennox who had walked up as Andromeda was approaching Megatron shakes his head "No kid, she didn't start crying until she pulled out that shard in her hands… wait is that a shard of the Allspark"
Before Sam or Optimus can answer a low feminine voice answers in an unknown accent tinged with sorrow "No young one, this is my Creatus. My child, born from the hope of my soul, the wisdom of my mind and the labor of my body. Tell me, why is he dead?" Andromeda looks up at the humans.
Sam despite being slightly afraid "T-that's my f-fault, Megatron was willing to destroy my whole planet and I used the Allspark, I mean Creatus to stop him, they both died as a result"
Andromeda smiles at Sam "You are brave and open, very unlike most humans, most would have lied in an attempt to escape my wrath… and they would have suffered more for it. But it is not your fault child, my Creatus told me of the history leading up to this moment. I know it was Megatron who caused his death" Andromeda's face changes to show an extreme anger and with a voice filled with incandescent rage states "And it is he who will pay!"
Sam stutters with fear at the rage in her voice "B-but h-he's d-dead!"
Andromeda shakes her head "No, child he is not, despite what you think a Synthoid cannot be slain this easily. As long as his body remains, he does" Andromeda flings out her arm and a glowing energy slams into Megatron's body.
Megatron gasps as he comes back online, he activates his optics expecting to see himself surrounded by his Decepticons. Only to find a human femme glowing with energy point at him with two more humans and… Optimus behind her.
He is about to growl and attack when a surge of pain through his circuits nearly offlines him again. The femme starts to talk "Megatron, your actions, cruelty and lust for power have lead to the death of Creatus the one you call the Allspark. As such it is time you face punishment for your crimes"
Before he can react Megatron screams as indescribable pain thrums through his circuits.
Sam, Lennox and Optimus watch in horror as Megatron starts screaming and then starts to rapidly rust away from the outer points of his body inwards.
They watch in horrified curiosity as Megatron slowly but surely collapses into rust until nothing is left.
Andromeda smiles and looks at the trio "It is done, he can never return, his body and soul have been destroyed. There is no coming back for him. Just like my Creatus, but his" Andromeda pauses and then hisses out "Decepticons will be dealt with, they are just as much to blame as Megatron"
Optimus steps forwards "Is that the right path to take?"
Andromeda looks at him and her expression softens, with what looks like a simple jump she floats up in the air until she is on equal height to his face. She reaches forth and his face plate retracts and she places a hand on his now revealed face "You think freedom is the right of all sentient beings. But you must remember, that in order for the conquerors and monster to be stopped, they must be slain. The Decepticons have chosen their path, now you must end them so that they cannot continue to destroy and prevent other beings from achieving their full potential"
Optimus appears to almost frown "But what rights do we have to do such a thing?"
Andromeda smiles sadly at Optimus "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings, their actions prevent that, therefore you have the right to stop them. But they will only stop when slain, so you must destroy them. That is your right!"
Optimus is about to interject when she says "You have chosen the path of peace, but you must know that one who chooses that path must take up three burdens. The burden of the Protector, to protect those less powerful from exploitation. The burden of the Teacher, to instruct the lesser races and show them the truth of peace. And the burden of the Reaper, to slay the dark ones and corrupted ones to protect the innocent"
