On the surface of a world of metal, three massive structures lay in an area covered in rust. The structures were intended for flight, but the action was clearly impossible now. As they lay in the rust, robots searched them. Three of them, all built the same, with jet parts, oversaw the search. One was white with dark reddish-orange trim, one was black with purple trim, and one was corn-yellow with dark red trim. The white one looked angry. \u201cYou\u2019re telling me you can\u2019t find it, even with your equipment tuned for its power signature?!\u201d he snapped at a bot with jet parts that looked like a gryphon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Lord Starscream,\u201d apologized the bot, \u201cbut the Heart isn\u2019t here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no way that they could have taken it after that ruthless of an evacuation,\u201d remarked the black jet-bot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPrimus is not looking too highly on you,\u201d mused the yellow bot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGet back in there, Deathsaurus, and find the Heart of Cybertron!\u201d screeched the white bot, Starscream. \u201cI won\u2019t have us lose the greatest weapon of all time!\u201d The gryphon-jet bot, Deathsaurus, bowed and returned to the search. Starscream ran his hand down his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd to think the tax-money goes to pay for jerks like him,\u201d chuckled the black bot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot one more snide remark, Skywarp,\u201d grunted Starscream. He then turned to the yellow bot. \u201cSunstorm, go aid in the search. Perhaps your mystic tuning to artefacts like that can help speed up the search.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou ask me to do Primus\u2019 work,\u201d cheered the yellow bot, Sunstorm, \u201cand I shall obey!\u201d He joined in the search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cScreamer,\u201d remarked, \u201cyou DO remember that\u2019s all in his head, right? I mean, you and him WERE two sides of the same bot once.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be absurd, of course I know that,\u201d dismissed Starscream, \u201cbut it might encourage the others to search faster.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLord Starscream!\u201d called a bot with the alt-mode kibble of a snow-terrain truck as he ran up to him. \u201cWe found it! We found it! We found it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpecifics, please.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy Lord, we found the Heart!\u201d Starscream goggled in surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAre you sure?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have it right here!\u201d The bot opened his hand and revealed the Heart of Cybertron. Starscream grinned wickedly as he took it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSnow Cat, you have performed admirably!\u201d praised the Seeker. \u201cYou and Demolisher are welcome to stay at Kolkular Castle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you, Lord Starscream! \u2026Er, what are you gonna do with the Heart now?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cImplant it inside me, of course. Inform the medical staff to have me prepped for surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not happening, Screamer!\u201d challenged a new person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I know that voice,\u201d muttered Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know that body!\u201d yelped Skywarp as he pointed to the crash site\u2019s edge. \u201cSpecifically, that shade of blue!\u201d Standing where Skywarp was pointing was a small, organic creature with blue fur, green eyes, white gloves, and red sneakers. The creature grinned in a cocky manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey, Starscream! Long time, no see!\u201d greeted the creature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSONIC?!\u201d screeched Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo you DO remember me!\u201d laughed Sonic the Hedgehog. Starscream then smirked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m afraid our economy isn\u2019t prepared to accept refugees at this point in time.\u201d Sonic snarled at that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne, heartless much? Two, I\u2019m not a refugee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy else would you be here? Unicron managed to make your world his body, didn\u2019t he?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cActually, he failed miserably. Optimus, Megatron, and Goldbug, you knew him as Bumblebee, took him down with the Three Powers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNonsense!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s true! I saw the Star Saber, Skyboom Shield, and Requiem Blaster combine into the Hydra Cannon! Mobius still lives!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cImpossible! They were destroyed eons ago! They can only be reforged with the Forge of Solus Prime and the Creation Lathe!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou mean the Magnus Hammer and Optimus\u2019 desk?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018ENOUGH! Decepticons, ATTACK!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet\u2019s do it to it!\u201d At Sonic\u2019s command, every single being from Mobius and Nebulos flooded out of the cracks and unleashed hell! Starscream\u2019s forces fired their weapons, though they clearly weren\u2019t taking them seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat are you idiots doing?!\u201d snapped Starscream. \u201cStop underestimating them and actually kill them!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy Lord, they\u2019re just organics,\u201d replied a soldier. \u201cWhat harm can they do?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve caused near Spark-failure for me on numerous occasions! Now treat them like Autobots and eviscerate them! At the very least, hold them off while I report for surgery!\u201d The soldiers then started taking Sonic\u2019s forces seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCHAOS SPEAR!\u201d called Shadow. He flung his signature ranged attack and made a few heads explode. Starscream and his trine managed to leave. \u201cHEY!\u201d Shadow called to Sonic. Sonic looked up and spotted the Seekers. He then made a call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOptimus, this is Sonic! The Heart\u2019s in Starscream\u2019s possession! He\u2019s heading north!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnderstood, Sonic!\u201d replied the young, yet commanding voice of Optimus Prime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The call, sadly, was intercepted by Sunstorm. \u201cI don\u2019t believe you\u2019ve ever let me out around him,\u201d he chuckled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, I didn\u2019t,\u201d confirmed Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd Optimus is alive,\u201d reminded Skywarp in an uncharacteristically serious tone. \u201cThat HAS to mean Unicron\u2019s been beaten.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBeaten for now, but he\u2019s probably asleep in Mobius\u2019 core again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHold it, they\u2019re still talking!\u201d called Sunstorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c-join us in Kolkular,\u201d continued Optimus. \u201cWe need to secure the Space Bridge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t let them do that!\u201d yelped Skywarp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSunstorm, get to Kolkular!\u201d ordered Starscream. \u201cSkywarp, follow me back to Iacon! We have a Heart to implant inside me!\u201d Skywarp\u2019s holo-form grinned, then he launched into a song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen a man’s an empty kettle,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n He should be on his mettle,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And yet I’m torn apart.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Just because I’m presumin’,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n That I could be kind of human<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If I only had a heart!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSTOP THAT!\u201d snapped Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A passenger train went along its journey to its next stop. All sorts of bots sat inside the coaches. Outside, a navy-blue vehicle was running alongside the train. Its front then split in half and became legs with the front bumper becoming feet. The rear wheel wells became shoulders as the arms swung from the undercarriage and pushed the bot up while the rest of the rear folded down to reveal a femme\u2019s head. She wore her battle mask, so one could only see her determined red optics. During her transformation, she jumped between cars, then stood up straight. She was ready to open the door, then it opened from inside the car! She was slow enough for a purple, yellow, and gray femme with the sides of a speedboat acting as wings step out and grin at her. \u201cThunderblast?!\u201d yelped the navy-blue femme. Her optics then narrowed in annoyance. \u201cWhat in the Pit are YOU doing on this train?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, it\u2019s nice to see you too, Nightbird,\u201d replied the boat-femme, Thunderblast, as she shut the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere\u2019s never been anything nice about you,\u201d hissed the navy-blue femme, Nightbird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow, now, let\u2019s not get nasty, Nightie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCall me \u2018Nightie\u2019 again and my sai goes into your head.\u201d With surprising speed, Thunderblast grabbed Nightbird and slammed her into the other car, forcing her mask to drop and reveal a scar running from under her right optic to past the left-most edge of her mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, stop acting like an idiot!\u201d snarled Thunderblast. \u201cI know what you\u2019re up to! You\u2019re shadowing Deadlock in the hopes to kill her later after she killed the entire D.J.D!\u201d Nightbird swatted Thunderblast\u2019s hands aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat business is it of yours?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe\u2019s MY kill!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDeadlock? Falling at the hands of a dropout like you? Yeah, right. I\u2019ve already claimed the contract.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou couldn\u2019t touch her!\u201d Nightbird reactivated her mask, shoved Thunderblast aside, and opened the door. \u201cShe\u2019s better than you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m the one who took over the dojo after successfully killing Bludgeon. Nobody\u2019s better than me. You ought to know that at the very least.\u201d Nightbird then entered the coach, then turned back for one last barb. \u201cBesides, the court says you aren\u2019t supposed to come within a hundred fifty metrons of any and all students of the dojo, so back off!\u201d She shut the door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On the surface of a world of metal, three massive structures lay in an area covered in rust.
