Convergence Infinites: Mobius Beyond

Civil War II

The underground hanger of the Iacon base was a prized storage and deployment station during the war. It would always be packed with formidable ships, mobile artillery, and cases full of powerful weapons but now, it was barren save for a few empty crates. Optimus Prime, in his robot form, was standing by the large exit bay door and waiting for Team Omega to show up though he did not have to wait too long since his auditory sensors picked up the sounds of their engines coming closer. He looked to see their respective vehicle modes heading towards him; they stopped and transformed once they were before him.

They saluted him as Bluestreak said, "Optimus Prime, sir."

"At ease team," said the commanding leader then they did just that before he spoke again, "I'm afraid I have come to a . . . troubling conclusion."

"What conclusion would that be, sir?" asked the Camaro fembot.

He looked at them with grim eyes, "The war for Cybertron is over . . . and we lost."

Dread and depression filled Team Omega's sparks as he continued speaking, "The planet . . . our world . . . belongs to the Decepticons now."

The team members looked at each other then Bumper asked their leader, "What now? Do we surrender?"

His grim expression turned into one of pure determination, "No. Surrendering means we give up and the war is completely over."

"You mean it isn't?" asked Springer.

"No, it's only half over. This just means we move onto Phase Two," said the Prime as he walked over to a control console next to the large door then he looked back at them, "I have an important mission for you four."

"For us, sir?" asked Red Alert.

"Indeed. In Sector V6, there is a hangar containing a Decepticon starship. Its navigational system is preprogrammed with a set of coordinates designed to take you to its set destination," explained the Prime.

"What's the destination?" asked Bluestreak

"The Decepticons' next target. Cybertron was merely the first conquest for Megatron," said Optimus.

Something struck the silver Camaro, "Wait a nanoclick, Sector V6? But that's right outside-"

"Kaon, yes. But either way, it is imperative you and your team make it there," said the Prime.

"What about you, sir?" asked Springer.

"I will stay here . . . and give you the time you need," he said then pushed a button on the controls that opened the exit to reveal a large tunnel leading somewhere.

Team Omega looked at him with shocked faces then Red Alert spoke, "But sir-"

"You four are the only Autobots I have left . . . as well as one of the best teams I have ever had under my command. You must stop Megatron from winning the war . . . or else freedom will no longer exist."

After hearing his speech, the members of Team Omega were filled with determination then the Autobots all heard the sounds of explosions coming from the sealed entrance to the hangar; this meant that the Vehicons have caught up to them.

"Time is of the essence. Hurry Autobots, transform and roll out," said Optimus then he pointed into the tunnel.

They did just that then Bluestreak said, "It's been an honor, Optimus Prime."

The aforementioned Prime smiled a little then watched the four Autobots drive into the tunnel, "The honor was mine."

For the third time, he closed the door and destroyed the control console then a huge explosion thundered throughout the area. He looked to see numerous Vehicons of both air and land type pour into the room; Optimus pulled out his halberd and Ion Cannon before charging towards the newly arrived enemies.

Autobot Team Omega followed the tunnel for about ten miles until it finally came out onto what appeared to be the main Iacon speedway.

"Listen up team, all we have to do is stick to this road and we'll be at Sector V6 in at least two megacycles," said Bluestreak then like a bad omen, four Vehicon air drones flew over them.

It looked like the small troop was headed for the Iacon base but they caught sight of the team and turned around to fly straight at them.

"Or maybe three," said the team leader.

The four jet drones began firing off their vehicle modes' machine guns; their Autobot targets used various evasive maneuvers to avoid the gunfire.

One of the jets activated its communications link to speak with Starscream, "Commander Starscream, we have spotted four Autobots heading down the Iacon speedway."

"Stop them by any means necessary! We cannot afford to let any Autobots live," said the commander who ended the transmission after speaking.

With their order given, the Air Drones continued their attack then brought out some missiles and fired them at their targets.

Seeing the projectiles through one of his side mirrors, Springer called out, "Incoming!"

The team members used evasive maneuvers once again to dodge the airborne explosives though a section of the speedway was demolished.

"We gotta lose these Cons or we'll never make it to V6," said Bumper.

"Thanks for stating the obvious," responded Red Alert.

"Enough! Springer, you and the Twins keep going. I'll see what I can do about these flyboys," said Bluestreak.

"Got it. Good luck," said Headlock then the silver Camaro put on her brakes, causing her to skid some feet backwards as her teammates sped away.
"
. . . And be careful," the hummer said to himself, taking one more look at his leader.

The air drones saw what happened then one spoke, "We had better split up if we are to ensure these Autobots' elimination."

"Affirmative," said a Vehicon then he and another split from the group and flew off towards their silver-colored target.

Once she saw two jets coming her way, Bluestreak sped up towards them though this action of hers caused the Decepticons to transform and land some distance before her; they brought our their assault rifles and rocket blasters and started firing at his. Their actions did not deter the Autobot at all since she kept speeding towards them, then she transformed quite suddenly except this change did not end with her robot form but instead with a form similar to a panther. He kept running right for the Vehicons while dodging their gunfire and rockets as she brought out her Ion Displacer turret from his right shoulder and her EMP grenade launcher from his left hip.

Bluestreak fired off his weapons and managed to take out one of the troopers but when she reached the other, she pounced onto the Vehicon and knocked it to the ground before digging her metal fangs into its throat. She used her beastly strength to rip out a large portion of the body part in question; the Decepticon went offline soon afterwards. The silver panther spat out what she had in her mouth before leaving her fallen opponent and transforming back into her vehicle mode to catch up to her team.

Springer and the Twins had their hands full with dodging their pursuers' gunfire and rockets until the jets flew past them and landed on the speedway before continuing their attack.

"I got these two scrapyard rejects," said Headlock then he speed up.

He began transforming though it was not his robot mode he changed into it; his new form was of a robotic Giganotosaurus. The prehistoric beast charged at the Decepticons as he brought his Particle Blaster and Plasmoid Rocket Blaster from his back then started firing. Springer's assault managed to knock his enemies down to the ground and once he reached them, he used his taloned foot to pin down one of them before stomping on its torso, crushing its spark chamber.

The last thing the surviving Vehicon saw was a set of metallic teeth as it crushed its entire head. Springer started to thrash his prey around before tossing it off the speedway altogether; he quickly transformed back into his Hummer form as the Twins caught up to him then all three drove off. It was not too long before their team leader caught up with them.

"Nice job back there. It's always good to see you work," complimented the silver Camaro.

"Thanks. I just wished I could've seen yours," chuckled the green Hummer as all four of them went on their way towards Sector V6.
