Star Wars: Trials of Redemption

The Belly of the Beast

Azeroth watched as Unicron devoured the planet of Mandalore as he smiled at seeing the destruction.

"Haha, men, Mandalore is no more and the Mandalorians will die, consider you all paid, what an easy job for all of you, not even needing to hunt your prey and your all some of the richest men in the galaxy." Azeroth said as he congratulated the many Bounty hunters, he hired to hunt VanX down.

"Seems like a bit of a letdown, but hey I'm rich." one of the Bounty Hunters said as he watched the destruction.

~Meanwhile on the planet of Mandalore~

VanX ran towards the gaping maw of Unicron as he devoured Mandalore, he climbed onto giant chunks of Mandalore as Unicron kept eating the planet. "You're gonna pay for devouring my world." VanX said as he then activated a set of jet boots in his legs and started flying towards Unicron. 

He then deactivated the jet boots and flew into the maw, dodging rubble and rock, until he landed on a surface, he could tell was a part of Unicron, he then noticed what looked like red claws attached to the walls emerge and move towards him, he figured this was the equivalent of Unicron's anti-bodies, he took a sword out from his back and slashed at the claws. 

he then ran through the halls of Unicron's system but then he slashed a part of the walls ad rushing water erupted from the slashed wall and pushed VanX deeper into Unicron's body.

He then landed in a spacious room and he heard screaming...

~The Citadel~

Ursa finished explaining what happened to VanX and Mandalore, everyone there was shocked, Jotun was terrified for VanX's safety. "W-We have to go save him!" Jotun said. "Against Unicron!? How do we fight against a Planet that literally EATS other planets!?" Sabine said in anguish.

One Jurilhane named Atriox walked up. "Is it not the way of a Mandalorian to die in a blaze of glory, I cannot think of any other greater way to die than fighting a cosmic entity to avenge my fellow brothers." he said as he explained his views on it.

"Atriox may have a crude look on the situation, but we must be smart about this." A Sangheili dubbed The Arbiter said as he spoke up as well.

"But Unicron is the Chaos Bringer, he's like no other foe Mandalore would have ever fought, he could be the end of us." Sabine said in worry.

Before Ursa could speak, a thundering clap sound happened and everyone looked outside and saw shocked to see a starship made of gears emerged from a dark shadow in the space near the Citadel.

"What the hell is that?" Ezra asked.

~Inside of Unicron~

VanX stood up from the now slowly subsiding waterflow and looked to where the screaming was coming from, he saw a pit of pink glowing muck as he looked up and saw Cybertronians being held up by those same red claws until two Male Cybertronians were dropped screaming into the pink stuff, they emerged and screamed in agony as they slowly melted.

"You down there!" VanX heard a familiar British voice and looked up and was shocked to see StarScream there, being held in the same red claws, he then also saw Arcee as well, and even another female Cybertronian that looked like a cyan version of Arcee.

"StarScream, Arcee, is that you two?" VanX asked.

"Do we know you my lad?" StarScream asked.

"It's me, VanX!" VanX answered, StarScream and Arcee were both shocked at hearing that.

"VanX, if that is you, knock down the acid covers, hurry please!" Arcee shouted as she struggled.

VanX nodded and looked at the two propped up acid covers Arcee said, he looked at his sword and slashed at one of the supports of the acid cover and it came down, he then did the same to the other acid cover and StarScream, Arcee and the other autobot fell down onto the closed Acid covers, Arcee and the other Autobot climbed down and hugged VanX, VanX had retracted his helmet and showed his head to them. 

"VanX you old Bastard you did it my boy!" StarScream said as he slapped VanX's back. 

"Arcee.... uh..." VanX said as he looked at her. 

"I thought I'd never see you again." she said.

"You couldn't have come back to us at a better time my boy." StarScream said as he crossed his arms.

"Who's this?" VanX asked as he referred to the Cyan Arcee look-alike.

"Oh, this is Lifeline, she's a mute person, she's a Telos like me." Arcee introduced Lifeline to VanX who shook his hand.

"A Telos?" VanX asked in confusion.

"Yeah, like you too, the head is the most recognizable part of us." Arcee said as she pointed at her head, VanX felt his head over. 

"How did you three get here?" VanX asked them.

"We were part of a ship called the Lost Light when we encountered Unicron, the two before us, WheelJack and Dropkick... you didn't get here in time, we might be the last of our team." StarScream explained how they got there.

"And how did you get here VanX?" Arcee asked.

"Unicron marked me, and he hunted me down to Mandalore, which he probably just finished his meal of my Homeworld." VanX said as he looked down at his Forearm.

"Well, all we need is the Matrix." StarScream joked as he kicked a piece of metal.

"We need to get out of here first, but how to we do that?" VanX asked.

Arcee looked down in thought, but then she perked up. "What is it Arcee?" VanX asked as he saw her perk up. "Legend says that Unicron uses a device called the trans-warp drive to pilot his planetary form, he uses the force to use the thing, and he can even teleport with it, I remember that you can use the force VanX, we can get the Trans-Warp drive and use it, leaving Unicron stranded." Arcee said as she recalled the legend, she knew about Unicron.

"Then Let's go find that Trans-Warp drive." VanX said as they all journeyed through Unicron's body.
