There was a \u201cWelcome to the Fight\u201d party at the Autobot base. Morale was at an all-time high as Grimlock and the Dyno-bots were welcomed back to Mobius with open arms. \u201cI don\u2019t think you ever told us why you\u2019re here,\u201d recalled Optimus. \u201cI thought the verdict was jail time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was,\u201d replied Grimlock, \u201cuntil the Decepticons started acting up. The courts decided we would serve our sentence under you. Only YOU can decide whether or not we\u2019ve done our time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, I\u2019m your parole officer?\u201d sighed Optimus. \u201cLovely description.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMore like we\u2019re new soldiers for you,\u201d assured Grimlock. \u201cWe would have been here sooner, but we had to fight tooth and nail to get the Fang<\/em> overhauled.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt shouldn\u2019t have taken that long,\u201d muttered Ironhide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBeing a criminal has its stigmas,\u201d replied Slash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, in any case,\u201d cheered Optimus as he raised his glass, \u201cwelcome back to Mobius!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHear, hear!\u201d agreed the partiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the Autobots and their allies celebrated, the Decepticons and theirs were licking their wounds. Several repair crews were detailed for both Scarship and the Nemesis<\/em>. Everyone was at the new moon-base on the dark side. It was constructed in secret while the Autobots worried about the Metarex\u2019s colonization efforts. Megatron sat in his quarters, brooding on his bunk. His door chimed. \u201cEnter,\u201d he snarled. Shockwave came into the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI have news you may be pleased with,\u201d reported Shockwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDo you, now?\u201d asked Megatron. \u201cI find myself in urgent need of good news, so tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI have successfully constructed a Chaos Energy Generator room,\u201d explained Shockwave. \u201cIt is in Robotropolis right now, but I can construct one here easily now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen begin construction immediately,\u201d ordered Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere is more,\u201d replied Shockwave. \u201cLaserbeak has successfully gathered intelligence on the Mobian Starship, the Blue Typhoon<\/em>. They have a fully functional Warp Field Driver.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cImpossible!\u201d breathed Megatron. \u201cSuch a device is beyond even us! How can a backwards world create such a device?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt is not fully Mobian technology,\u201d explained Shockwave. \u201cIt is a combination of Seedrian bio-tech, Mobian knowledge of Chaos energy, and Cybertronian design.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIs it now?\u201d mused Megatron. \u201cAnd Laserbeak has downloaded schematics?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCorrect, My Lord,\u201d confirmed Shockwave. \u201cAs the Metarex are Seedrian radicals, I can make use of their bio-tech. We also possess intimate knowledge of Chaos energy and Cybertronian design.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen, make haste and build it!\u201d urged Megatron. \u201cWe must outfit our ships with such a device! If I recall, it could, theoretically, bring a ship safely to Warp 20.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn theory,\u201d confirmed Shockwave. \u201cI shall give it top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExcellent,\u201d praised Megatron as he stood up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhere are you going?\u201d quizzed Shockwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTo point out this silver lining to the troops and our allies,\u201d replied Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSomething feels wrong,\u201d muttered Sira to Natalie, Amy, and Trema. \u201cIt\u2019s as if walls are crumbling away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve felt it too,\u201d replied Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDo you think it\u2019s any think it\u2019s anything serious?\u201d quizzed Trema. \u201cI mean, this wall could lead to nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWho says it\u2019s one wall?\u201d remarked Sira. \u201cI\u2019ve felt it both inside the planet and separating us from another realm of existence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOkay, the wall between realities, I can believe,\u201d conceded Amy, \u201cbut inside Mobius? I think that whatever threat lived there was defeated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019ve told me about Sonic\u2019s involvement with Dark Gaia,\u201d answered Sira. \u201cBut, need I remind you that the beast is a primordial force? It may be awakening now at its proper time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhy now?\u201d muttered Amy. \u201cWhy with the Transformers here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTheir conflict may have been what was needed,\u201d guessed Natalie. \u201cIt could be enough fuel for it to overpower Light Gaia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt could escape its prison,\u201d gulped Trema, \u201cpossibly destroying Mobius\u2019 solar system permanently.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWho\u2019s to say it will stop there?\u201d asked Natalie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur limits would mean nothing to the creature,\u201d agreed Sira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBecause of their conflict,\u201d theorized Trema, \u201cit could target Cybertron.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf I were you, I\u2019d be more worried about Nebulos,\u201d replied Sira. Everyone turned to her. \u201cThink about it. What good would it do this creature to travel without an easier means of transport?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe\u2019s right,\u201d muttered Trema. \u201cOur planet is near a rare stable wormhole, the graveyard of our gods. Dark Gaia could use it to go to the galactic quadrant adjacent to ours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhich means,\u201d replied Natalie, \u201cyou need to convince your son to raise the defenses for a possible attack.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWould that I could,\u201d sighed Trema, \u201cbut Galen hasn\u2019t been responding lately. I\u2019m still waiting for news on why.\u201d At that point, something buzzed in her pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOkay, THAT\u2019S just creepy!\u201d gulped Amy. Trema took out a communicator and opened it, speaking in Modern Nebulanese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTrema, nart le,\u201d (Trema, this is.) she called. \u201cTam tho reank. \u2026Sug. \u2026BALT?! Ne recont, ta le?!\u201d (You may speak. \u2026Yes. \u2026WHAT?! In prison, he is?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPrison?!\u201d yelped Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNart relamp, U redo askera!\u201d (This matter, I will settle!) declared Trema. \u201cUn palerti, amper!\u201d (My arrival, await!) She hung up. \u201cGalen was thrown in prison about a week ago by Lord Zarak!\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat for?!\u201d quizzed Sira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cZarak wouldn\u2019t say,\u201d replied Trema. \u201cThis is a family matter and a ship is picking us up tomorrow!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSorry, \u2018us\u2019?\u201d inquired Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDidn\u2019t you aid me when I first came here?\u201d asked Trema. \u201cI consider you my sisters and family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFirst I\u2019ve heard it,\u201d replied Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVery sweet of you,\u201d bid Natalie. \u201cWait, that\u2019s not very Nebulan, is it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot really, but I will take it,\u201d answered Trema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019ve got a lot of people to talk to,\u201d sighed Natalie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ll tell the Grand Coven,\u201d declared Sira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI better tell the Autobots,\u201d resolved Natalie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m gonna tell my mom and friends,\u201d replied Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ll organize the landing site,\u201d affirmed Trema. \u201cAmy, better leave some room in your bags for Nebulan clothes. Our outfits are well renowned in the galaxy and I think you will look excellent in them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow can I fit them into\u2026never-mind, I know a spell for that,\u201d replied Amy as she answered her own question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There was a \u201cWelcome to the Fight\u201d party at the Autobot base.
