The next day, Optimus was back in his ready room, drafting a battle plan. He heard the door chime. \u201cCome in,\u201d he called. Dion then stepped into the room. \u201cDion, you look\u2026better.\u201d Dion was polished and had a sober look on his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOptimus, I\u2019m accepting Thundercracker\u2019s recommendation,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThundercracker is right, the position will help me fix my own problems. By having both Autobots and Decepticons under my command, I should be able to consider both sides more effectively. As such, I took the time between yesterday and today to study Decepticon Law. Megatron was very generous in giving me a copy of all Decepticon laws, past and present. Did you know Megatron banned the use of Smelting Pools as a means of execution after he killed Straxus?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe told me he passed that ban when we regrouped after getting rid of everyone but Nemesis Prime and Unicron.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpeaking of which, do we still have the Three Powers?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re safe in the cargo hold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPerfect, we at least have weapons against Unicron. \u2026Now we just weapons against Primus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe deal with Tornedron first. The instant you\u2019re inducted into the position as an Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord, you and I need to meet with all the leaders so we can discuss our battle against Starscream\u2019s forces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAgreed.\u201d Optimus then handed a data-pad to Dion, then held up his own pad to read aloud the acceptance letter for Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2018I, Ultra Magnus, hereby accept the position as the Galaxy Convoy\u2019s Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord. In accordance with its laws, I will see to it that no military technology is shared without express approval from the government sources of said technology. I will ensure that war does not spill out to planets with civilizations lower than or equal to grade 3. I will work with the Galaxy Convoy to ensure that peace is held throughout the galaxy and will apprehend any and all violators of the Tyrest Accord. Anyone that resists will have the option of doing it my way or the hard way.\u2019 I just need you to sign your name and-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust a minute,\u201d interrupted Dion. \u201cWhy did you use my old title of Magnus? I thought Bumblebee became my successor as Goldbug Magnus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe is, but he insisted that you take your old name up again. What do you say? Ready to be Ultra Magnus once again?\u201d Dion looked at the pad, then smiled. He then signed the pad with \u201cUltra Magnus\u201d! Optimus looked at the signature, then grinned. \u201cGood to have you back, Ultra Magnus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood to BE back, Sir,\u201d replied Dion Pax, Ultra Magnus, as he shook hands with Optimus. Optimus then handed him a new hammer. Ultra Magnus\u2019 optics widened. \u201cTyrest\u2019s Gavel?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTyrest made it the symbol of office when he and Sigmar Prime pleaded their case to the First Galactic Council. He was Sigmar\u2019s Magnus at the time and said that just having the Magnus Hammer on his person was more than enough.\u201d Ultra Magnus set it into the harness on his back. \u201cNow, I need you to take command of the Galactic Council Ship, the Chief Justice<\/em>, and get on the call with everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUnderstood, Sir.\u201d Ultra Magnus saluted and headed to the transporter room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over on Voksphere, Cybertron, Unicron, Tornedron, and Starscream\u2019s War-world hung in orbit. Skywarp idly checked for galactic chatter. \u201cMaybe I can get some of those Torkuli erotic strips,\u201d he mused. \u201cMaybe they\u2019re really as wild as they\u2026uh oh.\u201d His optics found an article concerning the Galactic Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFirst Galaxy Convoy is a Cybertronian!\u201d read the headline. Skywarp read on. \u201cThe Galactic Community was turned on its ear yesterday as the Ninety-eighth Galactic Council has done what its previous iterations have failed to do and elected a Galaxy Convoy in light of the Transformers\u2019 Gods turning against the universe. The Transformers were allowed to plead their case and debate what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn an act of good faith, the Transformers brought a member of the once-thought extinct race of Vok and one of its Goddesses, Gaia, Unicron\u2019s jailor, to confirm that their story was true. The Galactic Council were urged to go to war against the Transformers Gods but had to elect a Galaxy Convoy to issue a formal declaration of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn a surprising turn of events, the Council elected Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots and current recognized leader of Cybertron, to be the first Galaxy Convoy. When asked for comment, Optimus merely said \u2018I\u2019m as surprised as the Galactic Community, but here we are now.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOptimus and his rival, Megatron, have appeared to have put aside their differences and are leading a fleet of warships, including the Black Block Consortia, the Galactic Council\u2019s law enforcers, to Voksphere, the home-world of the Vok. According to sources, the Vok and Gaia\u2019s mothers, Lux and Umbra, are merely in a state of petrification, so they intend to release them from that state with the help of seven jewels from the remote planet of Mobius. Called the-\u201d Skywarp shut off his computer as he growled, knowing full well what the jewels were called. He teleported into the War-world\u2019s conference room where Starscream was talking to Primus and Unicron in smaller avatars. Unicron\u2019s avatar looked like his Mobian body and Primus had jet-kibble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, really, we have nothing to worry about,\u201d Starscream assured his Gods. He then saw Skywarp. \u201cAh, Skywarp! I see that you decided to join us!\u201d Skywarp then shot Unicron! The blast knocked Unicron to the floor. Starscream and Primus drew their swords and leveled them at Skywarp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWAIT!\u201d shouted Unicron. He picked himself up and stalked his way to Skywarp. \u201c\u2026I hope, for your sake,\u201d the Chaos Bringer whispered to the teleporting Seeker, \u201cyou were initiating some obscure modern Seeker ritual.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou were careless!\u201d Skywarp accused Unicron. \u201cYou didn\u2019t drain the Chaos Emeralds!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat?!\u201d yelped Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou and the Decepticons kept them out of my reach!\u201d retorted Unicron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe had a working means of teleporting directly to where they were held!\u201d snarled Starscream as he now pointed his sword at Unicron. \u201cWhat about Gaia?! Is she gone?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGaia\u2019s stuck on Mobius, still within the core!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot what a news article told me,\u201d replied Skywarp. \u201cShe and Vector Sigma successfully pled their case! The Council made Optimus the Galaxy Convoy! There\u2019s a fleet of ships ready to bring war to us!\u201d Starscream hissed to himself in frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cReal smooth, Unicron!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe still have a weapon of unlimited power,\u201d remarked Primus. Starscream rolled his optics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA weapon that\u2019s weak against Chaos energy. If the fleet manages to tap into the power of the Chaos Emeralds, Tornedron can\u2019t absorb their life-forces fast enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere are only two that can tap into the Emeralds, from what Unicron told me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFive. Megatron and Shockwave tapped into them, and he forgets Knuckles. Besides, who\u2019s to say that they won\u2019t teach the fleet how to use them?\u201d Unicron then grabbed Starscream by the wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPerhaps we are tired of waiting!\u201d growled the Unmaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt WAS you and Primus who suggested we go back to Voksphere after all these years, hm?\u201d Primus and Unicron glared at the Arti-Vok. \u201cBesides, I have a way to turn this in our favor.\u201d Primus looked to Unicron and nodded his head. Unicron released Starscream. \u201cI would suggest, my Lords, that you assume your true robot modes. We may need the firepower should the parlay go south.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The next day, Optimus was back in his ready room, drafting a battle plan.
