Hello my wonderful friends. Sorry I haven't been on in a LONNNNNG time. Been taking some time off to try and deal with my mental health. It hasn't been fun.
Don't worry about my other stories. I will get to them eventually. I'm just reorganizing and reworking some stuff.
For now though, since I'm on a Transformers kick with Rise of the Beasts coming out and me binge-reading Code Prime (which is completely awesome and I highly recommend!) I've decided to write my own Transformers crossover.
And given all my stories so far (with the exception of my one Pokemon story) are MHA crossovers, this seemed inevitable.
So, let's begin this story of how the MHA world was Transformed (I had to make that pun at least once) with My Hero Prime...
My Hero Prime
Book 1: Transform
-Prologue: Arrival To Earth-
Cybertron.
What was once a proud and peaceful planet, had now been utterly ravaged by the Great War.
On one side stood the Decepticons, who sought to dominate all life in the universe through tyranny and fear.
As was decreed by their leader, the former gladiator turned revolutionary, Megatron.
While opposing them were the Autobots, who all believed that freedom was the right of all sentient beings.
And thus with neither side willing to compromise, Cybertron found itself engulfed in a civil war that continued for countless eons.
Despite our best efforts, the damage Cybertron sustained had soon reached its core, forcing it to shut down so that it may heal. But in doing so it left the planet barren and lifeless, unable to provide us with the Energon that served as our life's blood.
Thus we were forced to leave the planet in a massive exodus, and search for a new home among the stars.
Eventually we found that new home through an old Space-Bridge: a planet in the furthest reaches of the universe with large deposits of Energon detected beneath the surface. It was designated as Terra-1-9-84. Otherwise known as Earth.
Sadly, it seemed we were not the only ones to discover it...
-Earth Orbit-
-231 Years Ago: 1984-
High above the planet Earth, two city-sized starships were locked in furious combat.
The Ark: a large golden starship that served as the last hope for the Autobots. Despite it's heavy-duty armored plating, it wasn't made to be a combat ship, sporting only a single row of three particle blasters on each side, a 360 degree rotating pulse cannon, and boasting powerful shields.
So sadly it wasn't much when compared to The Nemesis: the Decepticon Warship that boasted more cannons, blasters, and assorted heavy weaponry than was probably necessary (and illegal in 17 star systems.)
And while it wasn't the fastest starship, The Nemesis was slowly gaining on The Ark, unleashing several volleys of purple laser blasts from their primary cannons.
-On The Bridge of The Ark-
"Status report!"
The first to reply was the red and white-colored medic-bot, Ratchet. "Shields are rebooting, but the defense cannons are still online. Though for how long I cannot say, Optimus."
The large red and blue Autobot leader known as Optimus Prime nodded. "We will have to hold out until the shields come back online. Once they do, full speed ahead and activate the cloak."
"If we get away from them long enough to activate it, it'll be a miracle," stated the black and white Autobot lieutenant known as Jazz.
A red and black Autobot with horns on his head replied "I think we used our last one with Metroplex."
"Think positive, Cliffjumper."
Suddenly the ship shook again, this time with alarms sounding throughout. Cliffjumper looked at Jazz and asked "Think positive, huh?"
A holographic display appeared on the bridge, showing that the Nemesis had managed to attach four grappling tunnelers to different sections of The Ark. "That's not good," a yellow and black Autobot said in horror.
"That's an understatement, Bumblebee," Ratchet replied frantically. "They're trying to disable our engines, the weapons systems, and the-"
Whatever he was about to say was drowned out by a massive screech similar to that of a bird coming from the other side of the bridge doors, followed by a roar akin to a panther's.
Every bot that heard those sounds felt cold chills going down their spinal chords. For they knew who those two Mini-Cons belonged to.
Soundwave. The Decepticons Communications Officer and Spymaster, as well as Megatron's most faithful and devoted follower.
One of the four Deceptions that no Autobot ever wanted to run into.
Acting quickly, Optimus Prime pulled out his Ion Blaster and shot the controls for the doors, frying them and preventing them from opening. "Ratchet, blast doors!"
Shaking himself out of his fearful daze, Ratchet keyed in the command and a second, much thicker set of doors closed and sealed shut. "That should buy us some time."
"How much," Cliffjumper asked.
As multiple alarms rang out, Bumblebee replied "Given what's going on now, I'm not sure it matters."
Activating the comms, Optimus said "This is Optimus Prime to all available Autobots. Status reports!"
There was a bit of static before one voice, a female Autobot they all recognized as Arcee, replied "Arcee to Optimus! Port side cannons are down! Ironhide and I are holding the Cons as best we can-"
There were two loud explosions followed by the sounds of rapid laser blasts, before a gruff male voice said "Yeah, we ain't gonna last too much longer, Prime."
"Is there anyway to bring the cannons back online," Cliffjumper asked.
"Won't do no good. Cons blew the munitions to hell."
There was another explosion on the other end followed by Arcee yelling out in pain before the line went dead. "Arcee? ARCEE!" Cliffjumper angrily slammed his fist down on the console. "Scrap!"
Placing a hand on his shoulder on his shoulder, Jazz said "Easy Cliff. Arcee's a tough bot. And Ironhide ain't no pushover."
"Yeah but against that many Vehicons? They can't hold out forever."
Another voice came over the comms, this one a male Autobot they recognized as Bulkhead, amid the sounds of several lasers. "Bulkhead to Optimus! Come in!"
Bumblebee answered first. "Good to hear you're still online, Bulk."
His response was a booming laugh, before Bulkhead replied "Gonna take a lot more than some Vehicons to take me and Jackie down, brother."
Optimus smiled in spite of the situation. "What's the status on our starboard cannons?"
"Well, the good news is that they're still online and still firing at the Nemesis, for all the good it's doing."
Another voice, this one belonging to Wheeljack, added "Bad news is that Starscream and the Seekers are trying their best to offline them, and us. And we overheard a few of the Vehicons saying that Shockwave was heading for the engines." There were a few more laser sounds, before Wheeljack added "Also, we could really use some backup here!"
Before Optimus could answer, another line opened to the sound of several loud explosions peppered with laser blasts. "Grimlock to Optimus!"
"Grimlock, report!"
"Shockwave's here trying to disable the engines. We're pinned down and- wait, what the frag!?"
"Hold fast, Grimlock! I'll be down there in-"
"No Prime! Bruticus is here!"
Every bot on the bridge felt their Energon go cold at that statement. Bruticus, the massive Combiner formed out of the five Combaticons, one of Megatron's aces, was on The Ark.
And was now heading for Grimlock and his team, the Lightning Strike Coalition Force.
Realizing what he was implying, Optimus said "Grimlock, you need to get out of there now!"
Unfortunately, all he got was static at the end of the line. "This is terrible," Ratchet muttered.
Looking at their leader, Jazz asked "Optimus, what's the plan?"
"How long until we get pulled in by the planet's gravitational field?"
Looking at the console, Bumblebee replied "About fifteen, twenty minutes. But if we don't get the Nemesis disconnected before that, our landing's gonna get really messy."
Optimus looked at the assembled bots in front of him. "Cliffjumper, head to the Portside cannons and assist Arcee and Ironhide."
Cliffjumper nodded. "Yes sir."
"Jazz, head to the engines and back up Grimlock. We need to get Bruticus off the Ark before he does too much damage to the engines."
"I'll do my best, Prime," Jazz said with a nod.
Cliffjumper looked at him and said "If Ironhide and Arcee aren't too banged up we'll give you some backup. Okay?"
Jazz smiled. "Thanks, Cliff."
Looking at the medic, Optimus asked "Ratchet, what is the status of the stasis pod bays?"
Looking it up quickly on the console, Ratchet replied "The Decepticons haven't reached them yet. But if they manage to breach them, all of the bots in there will be easy prey."
"Then we have no choice. You must launch the stasis pod bays down to the planet if they are to have any hope of survival."
Ratchet looked shocked at that order. "Are you sure, Optimus? There are no tracking beacons on the pod bays or anyway to calculate their flight paths. Depending on where they land they might be in stasis sleep for centuries!"
Optimus nodded, . "Better they stay in stasis sleep than be killed or subjected to whatever crime against Primus the Decepticons will do to them."
Ratchet cringed, remembering the reports of Shockwave's experiments. "Fair point. It will be done."
Looking at the yellow and black scout, Optimus said "Get to the starboard cannons and give Bulkhead and Wheeljack a hand. Those cannons must stay online if we are to have any chance of holding back the Nemesis."
Giving a little salute, Bumblebee replied "You can count on me, Prime."
"What are you going to do, Optimus," Jazz asked.
Readying his Ion Blaster, Optimus replied "I shall make my way to the Pulse Cannon. It should have enough power to destroy the Nemesis's tethers."
At that moment there was a loud CLANG! and part of the blast door buckled, all of them hearing a small yet boisterous voice on the other side yell "You bots better get ready to CRUMBLE! BEFORE RUMBLE!"
With a fluid motion he shot out the window to the bridge with three shots, shattering the glass so that they could all leave. He looked at them one last time, before closing his retractable faceplate. "Autobots, ROLL OUT!"
With that they all took a running start before jumping out of the window.
And into the battle below...
-On The Bridge of The Nemesis-
On the bridge overlooking all of the operations, the Decepticon Leader Megatron stood, his silver and purple armor reflecting the purple light from the consoles around him. He smiled as he saw the battle unfolding before him, basking in the carnage and destruction.
And frankly, in his opinion, was about to get even better.
Pressing the comms button, he said "Shockwave, Soundwave, Starscream; report."
The whiny and quite nasally sounding lieutenant Starscream was the first to report. "The Autobots guarding the Starboard cannons just got reinforcements. I may be a few minutes."
The cold emotionless voice of Shockwave was the next one to reply. "Bruticus is dealing with that annoying squad of Autobots with the annoyingly long name. I've just reached the main engine deck."
The last to reply was Soundwave, his right hand who rarely if ever failed him. "The Autobots just left the bridge before we got in."
Rumble's voice cut in. "Bunch of cowards! I didn't even get to hit someone!"
Megatron couldn't help but chuckle at that. "Patience, Rumble. You'll get your chance."
"Lord Megatron, Optimus Prime is on his way to the Pulse Cannon. He's going to use it to destroy the tethers."
"Of course he is," Megatron replied with a smirk. "Which means he'll get a front row seat to the main event. Shockwave?"
"Yes, my lord?"
"Have you activated the transponder?"
"Just finished inputting the code. You should be seeing the signal in 3...2...1..."
At that moment, a red blip appeared on the console in front of Megatron. "Fantastic." Activating another comm line, he said "Prepare the Omega Cannon."
"Yes, Lord Megatron."
On the underside of the Nemesis a large hatch opened, revealing the massive Omega Cannon; a mostly jet black cannon with two fins at the end, giving it the appearance of a large tuning fork. Once it was in position and locked onto Shockwave's transponder in the Ark's engine room, parts of the weapon began to glow purple, with purple arcs of lightning running between the fins.
The technician Vehicon working the cannon said "We're locked on and have begun the charging sequence, Lord Megatron. Estimated firing time: ten minutes."
Grinning, Megatron replied "Excellent. Decepticons, fall back to the Nemesis."
There was a chorus of "Yes sir" coming from his soldiers, followed by him swarms of Vehicons and drop ships leaving the Ark.
As that happened, Megatron noticed two portions of the Ark separating from the main ship, small thrusters pushing them away and down towards the planet. Recognizing them for what they were, he laughed and said "Try and save as many of your soldiers as you can, Prime. You cannot outrun fate. And the fate of those who choose to stand against Megatron, is DEATH."
-Back on The Ark: Pulse Cannon Control Room-
Finally having arrived in the control room for the Pulse Cannon, Optimus wasted no time in using the immensely powerful cannon to blast the tethers apart.
It was after he destroyed the last tether when he noticed the cannon aiming down at the Ark. "By the Allspark."
"Uh, Optimus," Bumblebee said over the comms. "You see the big cannon too, right?"
"I think we all do, Bumblebee," Ratchet replied.
"Autobots, call in."
"Cliff here. Arcee and Ironhide are okay. A bit battered but still functioning."
"Same with Bulkhead and Wheeljack," Bumblebee added.
Jazz then called in, sounding unusually solemn. "Jazz here. Bad news."
Ratchet sighed. "If it concerns the canon the Nemesis is aiming at us, then we're well aware."
"Well then here's more bad news. Grimlock and his team are gone."
"Gone," Bumblebee asked. "Gone how?"
"The whole place is wrecked but there's no bodies. My best guess is that Shockwave figured he'd have some fun with them later, so he took them."
"Oh, sweet Primus."
Optimus sighed. "We will do our best to find and save them later. But for right now, we have more pressing concerns."
"Right, the cannon. Any ideas, Optimus," Ironhide asked.
"All of you need to get to the auxiliary bridge," Optimus commanded, as he started moving the Pulse Cannon to aim at Megatron's Omega Cannon. "It's heavily armored and should be able to withstand the blast of that cannon."
"What about you," Arcee asked.
As he lined up the targeting reticle on the Nemesis, he replied "I will meet you there."
With the target locked, Optimus pulled the trigger and fired the Pulse Cannon, a powerful blast of blue energy shooting out-
-just as the Omega Cannon fired its own beam of purple energy.
The attacks passed right by each other, the purple beam striking the Ark's engines and creating a massive explosion that shook the entirety of the starship, even managing to throw Optimus out of the seat and right into the ground. Picking himself up, Optimus called over the comms "Autobots. Is everyone all right?"
"We're alive, mostly," Bumblebee replied. "But you'd better get to the Auxiliary Bridge. Quick."
Transforming into his Cybertronian truck form, he drove off and said "I'm on my way."
Meanwhile, the blast from the Pulse Cannon had struck the Omega cannon, setting off a chain reaction of explosions that sent the Nemesis flying off towards Earth's moon, crashing into it and kicking up a massive cloud of moondust and having pieces knocked off of it before finally coming to a stop.
In the mostly intact but still damaged bridge, Megatron rose up and swiped some of the power cables off of him. He couldn't help but chuckle at that. "Excellent shooting, Prime."
Hearing a pained groan, he turned to see Starscream pulling himself out of a wall, clearly out of it. "Did anybody get the number of that truck?"
"Snap out of it, Starscream," Megatron growled. Looking out the front window towards the blue and green planet below, a sinister smile etched itself onto his face. "Decepticons, we have much work to do."
Bumblebee's hands moved over the console in front of him, looking over all of the data as quickly as he could.
It was not looking good.
The big green Autobot known as Bulkhead looked over his shoulder and asked "Anything I can do to help, Bee?"
Smiling up at his good friend, Bee pointed at the console next to him and replied "Grab the copilot seat. I need to know what on this ship ISN'T currently fragged."
As he did that, the blue armored fembot known as Arcee asked "How's it looking?"
Bumblebee sighed. "From what I'm seeing, once Optimus gets here we're gonna have to be ready for one hell of an landing."
As if to speak of the devil, Optimus rolled into the auxiliary bridge, closing the door behind him. "How bad is it," he asked.
"Pretty bad. We're getting nothing from the main engines, half the stabilizers are offline, we're being pulled in by Earth's gravitational field..." Looking through the front window and seeing the mass of gray clouds crackling with lightning that the ship was heading towards, with several arcs of lightning already reaching out towards the falling Ark. "And there's that."
"Can you still fly it," Ironhide asked. "Bulkhead did say you were a damn good pilot."
He couldn't help but smirk. "He probably exaggerated it a bit. And no, I can't fly this ship, since it's very close to falling apart."
At that moment, several alarms blared followed by a seriously loud screeching sound of tearing metal. Looking at the console, Bulkhead deadpanned "If by falling apart you mean tearing itself in half... yeah, the ship's falling apart."
"Figured as much."
"And our half a ship has now just started entry into Earth's atmosphere."
"Hey, half a ship is still a ship, Bulk," Bumblebee replied. Punching in some commands, the ship started to slowly but surely change its course from the landmass towards the ocean. "Thank Primus for autopilots." Getting up from his seat he said "We should get to the backup Stasis Pods before we hit that storm."
"Stasis," Ratchet asked. "Can't you-"
"This ship's going down too fast and the moment we hit that water the impact shock will send you right into stasis lock for Primus knows how long," Bumblebee explained. "If you want to make sure you'll still be functioning and helping keep us alive, get to the pods!"
Seeing the logic in what he said, Ratchet nodded. "Alright."
All of the Autobots then rushed below deck to the backup Stasis Pods. After making sure they were still functioning properly, Wheeljack, Ironhide, Jazz, Cliffjumper, Arcee, Bulkhead, Ratchet all got into their pods and quickly entered stasis.
Looking at Optimus, Bumblebee asked "Think Megatron and the Cons will still be around when we wake up?"
"Metroplex crushed Megatron like a scraplet and he still came back," Optimus replied. "I will be very surprised if he's dead before we exit stasis."
Getting into his pod, Bumblebee conceded his point. "Alright. See you on the other side, Prime. Till all are one."
Optimus nodded. "Till all are one."
Once Bumblebee entered stasis lock, Optimus quickly reached a console and activated the Ark's cloaking system (surprisingly still functional despite the ship literally being torn in half.) This way the Decepticons wouldn't be able to find them too soon.
Finally, he entered his pod, closing his eyes as stasis lock took him into darkness...
We would wake up in the year 2124. 230 earth years later.
While we learned and adapted to our new home and its inhabitants, the humans, we took to transforming into earth vehicles, becoming Robots In Disguise.
All the while we kept our optics open for Energon deposits.
And for the Decepticons.
For one year, we stayed hidden. No human had ever seen us.
But then in April of 2125, we finally made contact with a human.
A young man by the name of Izuku Midoriya.
And his world, as well as our own, was changed forever...
Yeesh. It's currently 2:20 and I FINALLY got this prologue done. Sorry if you guys were hoping to see Optimus fighting Megatron, but I didn't want to take too much from Fall of Cybertron. Don't worry, Optimus will be fighting the big bad soon enough. Just not right now.
Hopefully I wrote Optimus and these characters somewhat in character. While I do love Transformers (Transformers Prime being my favorite) I have never written Optimus Prime or Megatron before, so this is new territory for me. Hopefully I did good.
So next chapter we get introduced to Izuku Midoriya. And we start our first arc.
Until next time: Autobots, ROLL OUT!
