The Transformers: The Light That Saves Us All

Hot Rod's Mission

After a week of mourning, Hot Rod had a small ship ready for launch as he got everything else he needed. Magnus cleared his voice box as he smirked, "Whatcha got there Hot Rod?" Hot Rod stood up and walked to the Commander as he showed him the Matrix, "Sir. He's still alive. He's out there still. I can feel his lifeforce. It's stronger than ever." Magnus glared at him and then the Matrix as he shook his head, "Are you certain?" Hot Rod nodded and showed him a map he drew, "He's in the depths of space, waiting." Magnus nodded and held his hand in that classic brother-type fashion. "Bring home our leader Hot Rod... I shall have a team ready for you." Hot Rod nodded and smiled as he ran and put everything in the ship. "I already have sir. I put the call out a few days ago. Hopefully everyone I need will show up."

After several hours, Impactor, Arcee, Red Alert, Inferno, Chromia, Hound, Kup, Bluestreak, Perceptor, Ironhide, Mirage, Jazz and Elita-1 all arrived and transformed. Hot Rod shook his head as he walked to them, "What the hell? Where is Grimlock?" Red walked forward and loaded his gear, "He's missing. He isn't in the known universe on here, Earth, Galgana-7, Drumadon, Garrus 9, Moon Bases 1 or 2, NO WHERE." Impactor grabbed his guns and loaded them up with Kup as Arcee boarded with Jazz, "We're goin' with ya, we gotta save Prime." Hot Rod looked at them and nodded as he smiled, "Strap up then, I'm flyin'!" He walked on as everyone else got on, "Elita, are you sure you're ready to-?" Elita pointed and glared at Hot Rod, "My sparkmate is alone and alive, I need him and he needs me." She walked to her seat and checked her guns, "Now let's go before I get us a bigger ship." She smirked as Hot Rod smiled and shook his head. He sat in his pilot's chair. He pressed several buttons and turned a few dials as the ship got ready and blasted away from the planet.

2 days ago, Starscream and the rest of the Decepticons had assembled on Char. They were refueling and getting ready to return to some action. Starscream got a subspace message from Elita-1. He nodded as he walked over to Soundwave and Skywarp. He spoke to them for a few minutes before nodding at them and letting them walk away. Starscream sighed as he walked back to the others. Specifically Shockwave. "Where are they off to?" The doctor asked, "A special mission. On a meed to know basis and you certainly don't need to know." Shockwave nodded and hung his head as Starscream looked out at the Decepticon Army.

Back to the present... As the Autobots flew through the stars, Skywarp and Soundwave flew on to their ship and clung on as Soundwave hacked into the systems and got them into the ship. They hid in an escape pod as they waited and closed the hatch. Soundwave checked his guns and nodded at Skywarp who did the same. They got out of the pod and walked to the bridge. Soundwave waved his hand, "Greetings." Everyone looked at them before grabbing their guns and aiming at the cons. Elita stood in front of them. "I called them... We need their help. Skywarp can teleport us and have us jump galaxies. And Soundwave can cloak us. We need them Hot Rod..." Hot Rod lowered his guns as he nodded. "Welcome to the Lost Light, gentlemen..." Skywarp nodded and sat down at the pilot controls, "Okay Hot Rod... You got the coordinates?" The young bot nodded as he put in the coordinates. Skywarp smirked as he plugged his hands into the controls, beginning the teleportation process. After they warped Skywarp sighed and was handed some Energon by Hound, "Here."
"Oh. Thank you." He plugged it into his spark as he absorbed it all "Ah... Much better. Thank you again." Hound nodded as Elita smiled faintly, "Let's go find Prime..."
