The Transformers: The Light That Saves Us All

Questions that need Answering

Charlie looked up at Bumblebee as he checked his weapons. The young bot sighed as he looked at Charlie and winked at her. He got up and held her in his hand as he walked towards Autobot City. "You okay Bee?"
"Meh... Kinda... I just miss Prime. Hell Spike hasn't messaged any of us back but we know where he is. And Hoist is kinda on mute mode right now... Everything is just so weird and different without Prime..." Charlie nodded, "Tell me about it... I can't keep trying to make my friends happy. Spike is gone somewhere and Buster is hitting new lows and it's too much!" Bee knelt down and held her in a hug. Charlie hugged him back as the two stayed there in a warm embrace.

Buster sat with Kicker and Verity as the three drank some soda and fruit punch. "Man... It's been a few days and Nothing from Elita..." Kicker said as Buster nodded.
"Think they got intercepted by the cons?" Verity asked as Buster shook his head, "No way. Elita is not so easily messed with. Besides, Megatron isn't even calling the shots anymore." Verity and Kicker leaned in as they rose their brows.
"I heard that Starscream took command and pulled every last Decepticon in the known universe to a planet outside the Xjar System." Buster whispered as the other two gasped, "Holy- then who's attacking the outposts on both sides?" Buster looked at Kicker, "Wait what?"
Kicker nodded, "Apparently, something's out in the far reaches of space, attacking both Autobot and Decepticon camps. The word is that the tactics used mimic that of Megatron and a few other cons but-"
"It's not him." Bumblebee spoke as he set Charlie down and sat with the Humans. "The word is confirmed by myself from being in the room. Megatron is on Charr with the other Decepticons." The four talked with each other before turning back to Bumblebee, "What do we do?"

Ultra Magnus marched through Autobot City as he checked on the defense systems. He got a call as he walked over to the main communication building of the city, "Blaster. What is it friend?"
"Sir, Punch just called. He's bringing in more injured autobots from the Xjar system. We still have no contact from Elita or Hot Rod." Magnus nodded as he crossed his arms. "And what about Grimlock?" Prowl walked over with a tablet as he shook his head, "We've sent dozens of scouts across the universe and still nothing. He must be out there somewhere but the mysterious attacks must be attended to-"
"Call off the search for Grimlock. We can't deal with it now." Prowl hung his head and typed on the tablet some more before nodding, "It's done..." Magnus nodded.

Bumblebee drove off from the city with the humans as they looked out the windows, "Where are we going?" Charlie asked as Bee sped up a bit. "An expert on the tactics of Decepticon Combat." He sped to an abandoned Junkyard before drifting to a stop. The humans got out and looked around as the scout transformed. The group walked around before Thundercracker walked out of his hut. "Bumblebee? Why are you here?" Bee waved as he walked to him, "We have questions. About the attacks. You were one of Megatron's elite You know- or well,- Knew the con." Thundercracker tilted his head before Bee gave him a tablet, "Analyze these attack patterns and tell us what you think." The seeker took the tablet and reviewed the footage and pictures. His face was that of a confused one. "This makes no sense... This jet that's in the sky-" he showed them the jet as he knelt to ground. Bee knelt with him as he pointed it out, "It's doing my thunder-crack. The move I do when I break the sound barrier. No one else can do that but me! And this one-" he pointed at a con throwing bombs, "He's a mix like Bombshell and Skywarp. He has ordinance like Bombshell but look! He's teleporting the bombs..." Bee nodded at him as Charlie pointed at the on surrounded in fire, "This one has a big gun like Megatron..." Thundercracker nodded, "There are two things this could be- uh three things it could be... One is Megatron himself but it's impossible because he's with Starscream and the others. Two is Tarn. Leader of the DJD."
"DJD?" Charlie rose a brow.
"The Decepticon Justice Division." Everyone said in unison. Charlie chuckled, "And what do they do?"
"They're animals. They slaughter everything in their path for the glory of the Decepticon Cause..." Buster said as Thundercracker nodded in agreement, "Tarn has a double-fusion canon. And he knows Megatron's tactics but he's been missing for some time now... and the final one... is illogical... It's Megatron from another timeline."
Bee rose a metallic brow, "Timeline?"
"Yes. Shockwave let in multiple beings in order to make Dark Cybertron happen... Tarantulas..." Buster rose a brow, "Who?" Verity looked down as she nodded, "Prowl told me about him... He was some sort of Decepticon... From the future..." Buster rose a brow, "Woah woah woah... are you saying that the multiverse and time travel theories are all real? The various worlds with big and small changes?" Buster asked as Thundercracker nodded. "It's either of those..." Bumblebee nodded as he looked at the sky, "I hope we can get Optimus Prime back... He's the only one who can stop Megatron or this threat..."
