Somewhere far away in space, almost in the middle of nowhere there's a ship of Cybertronians abroad it. Not just any Cybertronians in particular, they were once a news network in Cybertron's oldest cities, Axiom Nexus. Or it had been a city once, now with the planet gone they've been wandering around space to refugee at. At the bridge of the ship, the main crew are tired and bored traveling around the stars to find nothing.
"How long will it be until we stopped traveling!?" Shouted Andromeda, once the face and voice of Axiom.
"Until we can actually find a place that can fit our needs of what we call home or whenever Cybertron is back online." Responded her boss Countdown.
"Which is not going to happen anytime soon.", Interrupted Rook as he came in the room. "The planet has been destroyed for millions of years and the war has continued on ever since.", He pointed out. "Which I'm sure is still going on or else we would hear about so there's no point in thinking...",Rook just got interrupted from what their ship just tracked down. It seems their search can finally stop, the ship just pick up that Cybertron is back again.
"Well, well what you know, they did it...", Countdown smile.
Shock Rook said,"How's that possible?!"
"Does it matter, we're going home!" Screamed Andromeda! Cassiopeia was the one monitoring the scans and radar on the ship, so she spoke. "Now hold on, should we found out what's going on and who brought back Cybertron, not to mention the war!?"
"Isn't it obvious what happened?" Rook smirked at her. Everyone in the room were just as confused as Cassiopeia and Rook realized that. "Well I mean somebody won the war obviously and it won't matter who as long as we pledge our loyalty we can live in their reign as well as our home!" Explained Rook and he was right about something they knew.
"Well unless Megatron took over and has something to say about that, best possibility if he doesn't approve us because we're autobots despite joining with DBN..."Then Cassiopeia finish Andromeda off.
"He'll have our heads clean off, though we don't know if it is him, or if it's even Optimus Prime." Which is true.
"Only one way to find out, set a course for Cybertron, we're heading home anyway." Countdown seem confident about returning home, as if they can still be able to live in Cybertron no matter the changes or anything. Just then the ship was hit, everyone almost fell from their seats or off the ground.
Countdown yelled,"What was that, and why didn't we get any readings on them?!"
Esmeral, the co-founder of DBN answered,"Remember that space debris we past by moments ago?"
"And what about it!?" Frustratedly asked Andromeda.
Esmeral quickly responded,"Well apparently that junk was a diversion of a hidden spaceship!"
Andromeda bleated,"What ship?!" Then another blast hit them, this time some did fall on the ground and their attackers have broken inside the ship. Crewmembers are already attacking the invaders but are failing as well as falling to their deaths. Already the enemy has breached the bridge and surrounds everyone in the room. Nobody moved, some raise their hands, but many are too upset or stubborn to, though everyone is upset of the assault. They notice that the intruders were no autobots or decepticons, they wore a green mark that they never seen. The strangers holding the door that was the only way out of there move away when hearing loud thundering footsteps. They echo and roar from the halls to the bridge, it stopped behind the door which opens to reveal a furorious being. He glowed of energon and was bigger than anyone they have seen except maybe Megatron. He is a blue bot with silver and gold claws on his shoulders, with a normal foot on left and a pug on the right. As scary as he appears to the transformers, being afraid when first show himself with other big bots that weren't like ones already in the room. They were uniquer and bigger as well but not like their captain but look to be his right hand men. Then the leader spoke,"Do you Cybertronians here know the rest of your kind are?" Everyone look at each other, not knowing how to respond, but he continued,"Answer me now, or suffer the consequence!" Countdown wasn't having any of it.
So he yelled,"And just who do you think you are giving us commands after you invade our ship!?" The leader looked at him coldly, then slowly walked up to him to say,"I am Thundertron the fiercest captain of the Star Seekers and your death!.." With that said, he pulls out his energon sword and cuts him down. Everyone took stunned as they watch Countdown bleed from his new fatal wound and collapse to the floor. Only to lay there dying while he continues to leak of energon, some of the crew scream or grasp. The pirates were smiling at the sight of panic in them, but Thundertron went back to business.
He told them,"Anyone willing to be more obedient or to end up like your poor excuse of a captain?" No one answer still, they were still upset with their lost then one of the pirates held their weapon up to Esmeral .
He shouted,"Tell us what we want or die for your silence!" Esmeral cried in fear but will not say anything other than pleads.
Impatient Thundertron thunder,"Kill them one by one, painfully, if you won't give us words then we'll take your screams!" With that, Esmeral got shot through her chest, her corpse landing on the floor. Others join in, just before crying for mercy as the pirates want to hear. Though would want more than anything is their question to be answer, Andromeda knew this.
She screamed,"There's no other Cybertronians that we know are at besides us, we haven't even met anyone except you!" Thundertron wasn't satisfied with that answer, nor were the rest of his crew if they believe her.
The pirate that came with behind and his captain spoke,"She must be lying."
"Maybe Cannonball...", Respond the captain,"but if you were telling the truth, that's not good enough." The massacre continued on, they wouldn't care if that was the truth anyway, they wanted more than that. Then Andromeda knew what, it was too late to save most of her members but it'll save her. Though who knows what they'll do if they find out but at least she'll have a chance to live another day.
She cried,"Wait, I know a place where there's Cybertronians!" Everyone stop and look at her, so did their leader he walked up to her. Hovering her by his size and shook her by his voice as he spoke.
"Where, speak now!?", Deep, loud and fierce, she quickly avowed,"We've just received coordinates to where our home planet Cybertron is, there's bound to be Cybertronians there, if not more coming."
"Andromeda, you traitor, how could give away our home?!" Responded Cassiopeia, then a Star Seeker told her to be quiet by cutting her down. Andromeda was saddened by this, but knew it's better than to end up like her friend. Thundertron still wasn't impress nor did the rest of his crew, they ended up being disappointed with Andromeda's knowledge.
Thundertron notified her,"We already know that weak autobot."
Andromeda stun,"but how, you can't actually know where the planet is?!"
"Actually we do, we could detect it from it's energon readings, they have a mother load of it that we could track and follow the source." Andromeda optics widen, she knew this was it for her unless she could think of anything else, but she couldn't.
Thundertron lean in close, shadowing over her more, then speaking,"If that's all you really know, then you're all useless to me." "Better off dead or to live long enough to be used as experiments." He grin,"but I think your a waste, since you try to save your own hide while your comrades die around you, which was pointless." He continued,"Which is natural for you Cybertronians." He then lifted his sword again, aiming for Andromeda's head.
"So join them in-" A voice from behind the two captain's big men spoke lightly comparing to the captain's roar tone.
"Wait!" It sounded familiar to her, then a woman emerge between the giant pirates. Andromeda couldn't see her with Thundertron in the way, even when he turned a bit to look at her.
"Please captain, may I have my way with her?" He held his blade still and she continued,"I would wish to deal with her in my most painful procedure that I've been wanting to display to that Cybertronian!", She express with anger, quickly she calms herself to remember her place. Then lowers her head before her captain."Only if you allow me to, my captain."
She bowed her head and he smiled,"Ah I see, if that's what this is about then by all means, do as you wish as long as she's dead."
She raise her head to assure him as he assure her,"Of course she will captain, not after she begs for it."
He put his blade away,"Good, I would not want to rob anyone's personal gain for killing a Cybertronian that has cause as much pain to them as they have to all of us." He move away from her path to finally reveal herself to Andromeda. "So go ahead, she's all yours..."and with that she move forward towards her, Andromeda move back a little.
"Vez, is that you?" She asked, after seeing her now, she remembers seeing her before.
Being somewhat pleasantly surprised,"What are you doing here?"
"To kill you, what else?" She coldly responded.
"But why, I haven't done anything to you, how's Sparky doing?" With that said, Vez cut her side, leaving a gaping wound bleeding of energon. Andromeda crying in pain and shock to see that this isn't the woman she thought she knew. She didn't think Vez would be capable of this, seeing her at first gave her hope that she'll be alright. Now she realize she's in worser hands now than she would've been if Thundertron he gotten his way. She crouch down and held her cut till she looked up at Vez. Andromeda's expression changes from being scared to terrified at seeing a once friendly smile. To now a wicked grin for vile things to come after this.
