Battle for the Allspark: Aftermath

We, the Autobots, under the command of Optimus Prime, are sworn to protect the weak and fight for the oppressed.

We rallied under the Light of the Life-giving Allspark, to purge the evil that is the Decepticon Horde...




But in this, we failed.



In our desire to save the Allspark, we unknowingly became the scourge ourselves, of this innocent planet...



Millions died in the midst of the Decepticon rampage. Thousands, maybe, of Autobot brethren laid to waste as the Decepticons corrupted some of our ranks into their fold.

But our time will come, our time will come. The Autobots will cleanse the universe of your filth.

Curse you, Defbringer...... *

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The city of Rome is no more.

Steelclaw walks across the wreckage and passes by the remains of Defender of Ancient Times, fallen leader of the Templars. This once glorious city is nothing but a charred memory now.

After the Minions, disguised as Autobots under the "Dawn" squadron infiltrated and poisoned the Autobot ranks, the Horsemen overran what is left of the defenses there and proceeded to attack Berlin, farther inland.

Claw runs a scan on Defender's remains. The spark's weak, he's just deactivated by a power flux of sorts. Sadly, Claw knew he can't do repairs... at least, by himself.

He picks up Defender's remains and brings it to a secluded spot near a bridge. He places a small beacon beside it, as he had done with most other Autobot fallen that he had deemed salvageable for repair.

No Decepticon frequencies yet... fortunately.

The Autobots have the Allspark now... what's left of it. All they need now is a power supply to get it running. He hopes Unext doesn't fail him in delivering some of the shards of the Allspark to Cybertron. His group, the Army of Fire, almost fragmented with the disappearance of Killer Red. Somehow, he managed to keep the contacts online with Autosaver and the others.

He sends a scatter relay, coded in several cryptic sequences, to familiar recipients across Earth and outer space.

He leaves his comlink open for any replies or stray Auto frequencies that he can pick up.

For the past few months, the Autobots have been fighting from the dirt up. They fight short skirmishes, mostly hit and run.

"Autobots don't deserve this... we will fight this our way from now on."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OOC:

This is the start of the Autobot scenario:

As Autobot, you can either be one of those who received the transmission from Deep space, be on the same site as Steelclaw in Italy, or be one of those "rogue" Autobots in nearby locales or countries.

From the remains of thier once brilliant base and home on Cybertron, an Autobot who follows in the footsteps of the late Optimus Prime, hears the communications from Claw.

"Too many lives have been lost in this war. Both human and Autobots alike." a deep voice states as the figure stands in front of the headstone of the late Arceel. "My brothers are continually dieing on Earth and millions of innocent humans are suffering from our war. I am Magnimus Prime, leader of the Prime Warriors, and the loss of any more innocent lives, both human and Autobot, will end now."

Looking at his few Warriors remaining, the time for justice had come. Turning to his most loyal soldiers, Star Adder and Hellsvortex, it was quite obvious what needed to be done.......

"We are going to Earth and help Claw and what is left of the AoF stop the Decepticons once and for all. Ready the shuttle for launch!!"

From a small base on planet Cybertron, an Autobot that swore to bring peace, named Attackerimus Prime, recieved a message saying: "On Earth, both the Earth's species and Autobots lost their lives in the war to retrieve the Allspark and we finally managed to take the remains of the Allspark, and we need help to defeat the Decepticons!". Hearing this message, Attackerimus realized that Cybertron and Earth's fate is in stake, and he gathered the last alive members of his army, the Peace Bringers, and they enter in their ship, a cybertronian warship equipped with many cannons ready for battle. They head to Earth, knowing it won't be easy to defeat the evil Decepticon forces, but it must be done. The time of ending this war has come. More Autobot groups hear the message and head for Earth. "It's time to end this war with our victory, and nothing will stand in our way to do this! Prepare the weapons of the ship for battle. We will help our Autobot brothers to destroy the evil brought by Decepticons, once and for all!" says Attackerimus to his army, ready to defeat the Decepticons. The journey to Earth (or what remained of it after the war...) begins...

Steelclaw walks up to ruins of the great coliseum of Rome. It recently held what the humans called "the Olympics". A place where warriors would pit against each other until one was victorious. He entered it, the sunset made the coliseum a beautiful place. Then he saw a decepticon drone stalking behind him. "You won't be able to stop me. I survived the Minions I think i can take you too."

The drone lunged for attack he unleased some sort of claw from his fists that Steelclaw had never seen before. Steel did a back flip on to some of the stadium's seats and began firing at the drone. Within a few shot of his rifle the drone was as good as dead. He walked over to it and scanned his claw like protrusions on his hands. He walked over to a body of his fallen autobot comrade, Jordanhow, once his leader and teacher. He began to rip the cybertronian alloy off (it was the strongest in the universe). He walked over to his make shift camp in the Vatican and began to build his legacy. After hours of merciless work he had created his name sake. A glorious pair of claws that unleashed from his fists. As he walk to his sleeping quarters, two ships arrived at the scene.

The doors unhatched and shadowy figures emerged.
"Come out with your hands up or i'll rip you to shreads," Claw said.
"Don't worry, we are friends, I am Magnimus Prime, leader of operations on cybertron and proud desendant of Optimus Prime himself."
"Alright, and you, in the other ship, what's your business here?"
"Well I can say we're not as friendly..hahahahahaha."
A squadron of decepticon drones had found his camp, that really pissed Steel off. So before Magnimus and his Prime Warriors could attack Steelclaw had made it so that decepticon drones everywhere would know why he was called Steelclaw.
"Don't ya think that ripping them to shreads was a little drastic?"
"Trust me, when you've been alone out here long enough, nothing is drastic."

Magnimus obsurved the carnage that Steelclaw had unleashed. "Is is possible that together, the Army of Fire and the Prime Warriors can bring peace back to Earth and Cybertron?" he thought.

Magnimus waked over to where some of his fallen Autobot brothers and sisters lie, his sparked overwhelmed with grief. It wasnt long before he and Claw noticed that more Decepticons were comming.

"Quick, pack what you need into my trailor and lets get out of here. Time is short." He transformed into his semi vehicle mode and opened the door to this trailor. Time was indeed growing short.

"We stay and fight them," Claw said,
"running away from them won't bring our friends back, but we can sure as hell make sure they don't get back to theirs."

"Very well," Magnimus replied, "PRIME WARRIORS, LOOKS LIKE OUR DECEPTICON FRIENDS HAVE SENT AN WELCOMING PARTY. LET'S GO SAY HELLO."

At that instant Steel, Mag, and the rest of the prime warriors were upon the decepticon drones and defeated them with great ease. After salvaging some ammo and supplies the prime warriors loaded up their ship.

"I'll catch up to you!" Claw yelled to Mag, who was in the pilot seat.
Claw entered the depcepticon drone's ship, flew down to the spot defender and various barely-alive autos were powered down.

"Hopefully with the prime warriors help, we can live to fight another day together."
He loaded the autobots onto the ship and began to catch up with Magnimus.

upon the ship carrying magnimus and his fellow prime warriors, a lone decepticon drone infiltrated the ship hidden in the shadows of the cargo bay, made his way up to the control room where magnimus sat and watched the stars fly by,creeping slowly, the drone is ready to destroy the one autobot that can devastate the ranks of the decepticons, thinking to himself,

heheheh, ive finally got him,

out of no where a voice is heard that saidno ive got you drone

magnimus quickly turns around to find a decepticon drone with two claws sticking through his torso, as the drone slides off, magnimus looks upon the transformer who saved him,

and askedwho, are you might i ask

the transformer said names Star Adder Prime, and i think i would be of great help in your ranks commander
met at the rendevous point steel claw finds the tag along transformer that is star adder, and looked at him with great discomfort


this right here is a bot that will hunt others from the shadows and darkness itself, i dont know what this so called autobot can do, but i feel great steel within this autobots spark, hardened and a master of silence


ive heard all about you too steel claw, the one autobot that has enough courage to take on megatrons personal army himself, and will fight for everything, as well as i you are trained in using claws to cast down your enemies, but unlike you i have a motive none will understand, starscream, my old mentor before the wars, had done terrible things, used me to do so, i want to fight him face to face


well, you will get that chance someday my friend, but for now we need to free straggler autobots from decepticon prisons in the neighboring system maybee you can take the guards out quietly


whats the catch


perfect, then lets head to the prison camp on trebonbar iv

Magnimus Prime and his best Warriors were waiting at their shuttle waiting for some sort of signal from Steelclaw. Prime looked over the faces of his comrades that he would soon enter battle with.

I know that the Minions are still out there. I cant rest until their spark are exstinquished forever. he thought to himself.

Much time had passed since Steel's last transmission to them. Magnimus was ready to make a backup plan in the event that they did not hear from Steel in a few cycles.

another prison camp near by, star adder, taking his weapons of choice, a silenced sniper rifle bought in a galactic market made from quinsetton technology and his blade,

in the night he crept closer to the wall avoiding the light beams at all costs, star adder climbs the wall and makes it to the top of the spire, using his blade he plunges it into the drones head while taking his keys

running arround the perimeter of the base dispersing the drones that guarded it

he then hid in the shadows and pulled out his comink mag, you there, ive secured the perimiter


im here, but im having problems communicating with steel claw its making me nervous

he will be fine, i hope that he at least took out the prison boss, any way, im aproaching the central guard station going to take them out quietly


affirmitive, not one guard must be left, it takes only one to trip the alarm


yeah, oh by the way, i took a shape shifter transmitter from your gear box, sorry to worry you sir


hey dont worry about it you dog i took one to, magnum prison one is liberated, waiting on your shuttle to pick us up oh by the way adder, you owe me 400 dollars

alright claw, thats the way, ill send wheeljack in a shuttle to pick you up now waiting on adder


star adder infiltrated the guard station and took every guard out,

ok time for a test run

he pulled out the shape shifter and it scanned one of the decepticons that lay on the floor, turning adder into what looks like , or that did look like, hexus, an infamous decepticon warrior that killed many of what was the autobot race


alright im in now for the guard boss

adder walks in the door as in the office sits xarvatron, decepticon commander and respected veteran in any faction


sir i got a question

what is with you and questions now a days hexus, you need to stay at your post

xar gets up and walks towards adder not knowing of who he is, or so it seems


tell me autobot, what is your business here?


my brothers in arms are in your prison, and it offends me

adder drops the transmitter and plunges a blade through xars stomach and pulls it out only to slice his head off

and you offend me

adder took the master key and opened the master lock and freed all the prisoners

mag, git your boy over to prison 2, we got some old friends

adder walked out the door watching the autobots raiding the decepticon armory and leaving the prison he loved that sight

While we PWs waitted for SteelClaws response, I was getting inpatient.
I looked at my comrades and growled. How was i in this army. what made me change so drastically.

Inside the shuttle, i walked to the main Communication radio, and dialed some numbers. Decepticon numbers. waitting patiently for the communication to start. after a few mega cycles, i was able to speak to thundercracker.

thundercracker are you positioned in the zone?
yes, ma'am. in spain right?
yes.
we will be happy to fight with you hawk.

i shut off the communication, to smile to myself.
he lead me right to the center of the base. what a fool, now i know why i was a autobot.
i had the gear to bring this war to a end, knowing every location that the decepticons were.
i turn around to be confronted by angry Prime warriors.
should i tell them?
or not...
what would they care?

i push past them growling a warningly to back off.
but magnimus, the largest one grabbed a hold of my arm and pulled me to him.
im in deep trouble.

Claw walked across the camp, coming up to the Autobot prison.
Various Autobots began to spit at him, for they knew him as Darksteel, a Decepticon that showed no mercy to a single thing, your generic Decepticon.

But one stood up in the crowd, his eyes in disbelief.

Claw? Is...is that you?

Yes, Rachet, old friend it is me.

After this simple exchange of words, Steelclaw unlocked the prison gate and told the Autobots to head to the armory to prepare themselves for battle.

Although you have been freed my brothers, there will be much fighting ahead. Once you prepare yourselves meet me back here and we will launch our attack from the inside while our friends in the Prime Warriors launch their own attack from the outside.

After approxamately an hour the Autobot prisoners rallied at the holding area.

Alright Autobots lets TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!

With this the Autobots began the attack, setting fire to the Decepticon holding ground, barracks and any other building in reach of their weapons.
Steelclaw radioed Magnimus. ATTACK NOW!

Magnimus transformed into his robot mode, a grand sight to see for some of the newer recruits.

PRIME WARRIORS! I JUST GOT ORDERS TO ATTACK. LOOKS LIKE THE DECEPTICONS WE'RE HAVING A PARTY AND DIDN'T INVITE US. WELL YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK? I THINK THAT IT IS OUR DUTY TO CRASH IT. PRIME WARRIORS, ATTACK!

Back with Steelclaw and the escaping prisoners. Decepticons, legends and drones alike, ran out of the barracks unorganized, screaming bloody murder with thier guns blazing.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD AUTOBOTS, THEIR DEFENSES ARE WEAKING, WE'LL HAVE THIS CAMP BY SUNRISE! THEY WILL CURSE THEIR LEADER FOR PUTTING THEM HERE! THEY WILL FACE THE JUSTICE THEY SO RIGHTLY DESERVE! THEY WILL!..... Alright claw, that's enough.

What? No it can't be. Is that really you?

His commander stood before him, Claw had thought he lost him to the battle of Rome. But he stands right before him, Killer Red. For so long he had been thought dead. His apperance was changed vastly, he was battered and brusied from the torture of the Decepticons so much that Claw could not recongnize him.

Killer Red?

Yes old friend, it's good to see you again too, especially since your saving my ass hahaha.

The two friends began to speak of what had happen since Red's capture. Almost to the point when they didn't realize what was happening around them. Then two decepticons attacked them. Claw quickly jumped behind one and clawed him in the back. Red's hands began to glow a firey red and he punched through the other Decepticon leaving a puddle of molten metal on the ground.

After hours of fighting, the Autobots had won.

Well geez Magnimus, took you long enough to get here. The fighting has been done for about an hour now!

Well excuse me if turrent defenses are a little more armored then the drones you we're going against!

The two shared a quick laugh and Magnimus parted ways to mingle with the other soldiers. Steelclaw walked up to Rachet and Wheeljack, two of the most tech-savy people he knew.

Rachet, Wheeljack, I have one last mission for you.

What is it Claw?
Ya considering what you just did for us we'll do just about anything.

The ship I arrived here on is full of damaged autos, if I bring it down to the infirmery can you get them back into fighting condition?

I believe that we can get them there and beyond, those stupid Decepticons left us all kinds of technology to use.

Alright good, I spent most my days after the minion attacks collecting those soldiers promising them that they'd see another day on the battlefield. It's good to know that I can keep the promise.

Steelclaw went to his ship, well technically it was some drone lackey's ship but it was his now. He went in to see a Decepticon drone preparing to stab Ironfire thru the spark.

NO!

Steel tackled the drone down and began to claw his face and torse in a rage. He wouldn't let some stupid nobody drone destroy all of his hardwork.
After Claw disposed of the Decepticon body he flew the ship into the camp and the techies there began unloading it's injured soldiers to the infirmery.
Steelclaw looked up to see the sun begining to set.

All in a day's work. he said, laughing to himself. A curious new Autobot named Overdrive walked past as he said it.

What did you say?

Steel laughed again, Oh nothing.

A former Decepticon Monster....a powerful foe....he was lying on a bedding of crushed buildings. He sat up and looked at all the carnage around him. Smoke rising from ashes and fires all over the place.

Paris sure isn't Paris anymore. City of Love? ...psshht....

He laid his head back down to sleep...and suddenly sat back up.

What the hell am I doing? What is this all for? Why am I doing this? Is there a purpose?

He searched his head for the answers to these questions....and drew a blank. He transformed and flew off....to clear his head, when he saw another building falling. He flew over to it quickly, not thinking about what he was doing. A small human was jumping out of it. He dived forward and stuck out his hand, stretching out his finger, to catch the human. He caught it....a small little girl. He looked at her, as she looked back, and hugged onto his finger. It forced a smile onto his face.

Such trust within this little being. What need do we have to harm these little creatures?

He went to put it down...but it hung on to him and wouldn't let go, no matter how much he tried to shake it off. He charged his cannon and pointed it at the little girl......then put the cannon down. He held onto the human, placing it in the cockpit on his chest. He transformed and flew off.

This felt good..... Time for a change....

ONE YEAR PRIOR TO RED's RETURN.




The autobot wakes up to find himself contained inside a decepticon holding facility with a blown ceiling. All he can remember was the last fight he fought....which ended up in his capture.

What has happened to the others......... I hope we still have control over this blue planet.


As he gets up to observe his situation, he then remembers the decepticon he was fighting......

STARSCREAM...... he had to have upgraded his pulse guns to fire emp blasts.... knocked me out cold shut down my main functions for months..... I must find the others.


As he looks around he notices that the decepticon base is deserted. He finds his weapons placed in the armory grabs them and jumps through the whole in the ceiling which he fell through.


What he sees before him is horrific. bodies everywhere important monuments torn to shreds and fellow autobot bodies on the floor along with some decepticon bodies. It was obvious that the autobots had failed.

He tries to contact some fellow autobots.

"Hello? this is killer red does anyone copy?............ HELLO?! DOES ANYONE COPY?!


He notices that he is in rome so he begins to walk.....walk anywhere.

Walking past the wierd Large Autobot, I roll my eyes. wierdo.
Not knowing who he is, nor caring, i walk to the edge of the cliff and sighs deeply. THAT was so not my plan. why did PW have to get in the way..
i thought maybe that would show me loyalty to the autobots.
i sit down and watch the sunset, growling, sigh.

what are you diong here?
what you mean? im looking at the sunset, is there a problem?

i turn my head to see the same Large Autobot to be standing next to me, glaring down at me. i noticed he had steel claws on his hands. he was a large mech, with autobot armor and blue eyes.

dont speak to me like that autobot.
WHO YOU CALLING AUTO........

i forgot i wasnt a decepticon.
im a autobot...
things change when your a autobot.
i dont even look at him and get up. i flick him off and transform into my car mode and race down the hill.


he better not follow. i growl my engine hoping the bot will back down.

THE FOLLOWING EVENTS HAPPEN ONE MONTH AFTER THE LIBERATION OF THE PRISONER CAMP.





Un-named former Decepticon POV:

I flew around for hours...looking for some form of friendly life. Europe sure isn't what it used to be. Big Ben was clocked out...The Colosseum met its match and the Eifel Tower was fucked. Paris was destroyed....London was destroyed....Italy.....devoured. Venice was really neck deep now...Italy just wasn't a place for Romance anymore. It was quiet....but my radar was flashing....LIFE!! Just 2 miles north! I began to fly quicker, talking to the little girl in my cockpit, telling her she might make another new friend today. She seemed really happy about it. I got to the location in no time....but...then I heard it....a transmission...

"Hello? this is killer red does anyone copy?............ HELLO?! DOES ANYONE COPY?!

......I didn't answer......

I knew that voice....I knew that name...I'd fought Killer Red before...and the end result destroyed all of Berlin. I didn't want to fight him again....no more mayhem....no more destruction...especially not in front of her....not in front of the little girl. I just knew that if I went to see Red, he'd attack, thinking my thoughts were the same as before. If he saw me now, he'd automatically assume the girl was my prisoner...SHE WASN'T! She WANTED to come with me. I decided not to answer....but if Red was around...he'd find autos soon enough. So as he walked deep into the depths of broken Italy...


I followed......

yes...and im not introduced in this story...so I'm incorporating myself. =D

I watched Red decimate Carnage....I knew that guy....My eyes widened as his dark ways grew apparent. It was quite scary...he attacked....destroyed...it reminded me of myself. I guess he was holding back when we fought....trying to stay the good guy.

....That teleportation...I'd never forget that..... He used to use it so effectively, fighting, then teleporting, and attacking from behind. It was a pattern he used...he was all about order...

I think he knew I was there....he kept looking to the side...almost as if he was looking out the corner of his eye.

I stayed a good enough distance, so that he wouldn't see me....but from above...a small group of rebel autobots were watching me....

They jumped from a large pile of rubbel on the street. 3 of them, they jumped over top of me, two landing on my back, 1 right in front of me.


Cmon!! Shoot him already!!

Wait! I mean...

there was no time to speak....I had to act immediately, for my life...and the girls. I spread my four wings, pushing 1 of the autobots off, and knocking the other airborn, as I grabbed him and tossed him down. The other shot at me, I high jumped using my jet engine, as his shot hit the second autobot. I flew directly at the final autobot, grabbed him and tossed him, like a football. He flew like one....who knows where he landed. I survived the ambush....but I made way too much noise....I checked my cockpit to make sure the girl was okay....she was looking straight ahead.....

Red was watching me......

I watched as the decepticon regained his altitude... I was too far to attack and something did not feel right..... I felt a human presence in his cockpit. He headed north so I reacted quickly and took the form of a fallen F22 A rapter which layed right side up next to some dead autobots. He was my only lead. I transformed and soon cuaght up with him many miles away. to notice that he was an old rival... Funny to see him not killing a human for once. So I followed and decided not to attack....yet.

I knew he was there...my radar was going haywire...and NOW!!! is when the little girl wants to get chatty...

What's your name? How tall are you? Where are you from? What are you? Are you a monster? An alien?

She was begining to frustrate me....but I decided to answer anyway.

My name is Ho--- Maniacal. I'm 87ft tall.....I'm from...far away. I'm a ....robot? No...sorta........What's your name?

I'm Kylie...I'm 9 and a half. 4'8, I'm from Rome and I'm a human "bean."

You mean being....

That's what I said..."Bean".

There was a part of me hoping Red heard this...I didn't want to give off the wrong impression...I needed to find someone to contact quick.
Then I decided to play a game with my "tail." I turned on my jet engines, and my turbo boosters. -BOOM!- I sped off, breaking the sound barrier...

"Let's see if you can keep up."

I headed across the ocean towards New York. I kinda wanted to lose him. I should've never followed in the first place.

My radar got real quiet.....but it was picking up again...from behind..Red...and in front......who could that be?

I saw he was trying to loose me, so I put the overboosters on, I gained up on him and as I did I heard a little girls voice coming from his cockpit. I scanned her vital signs........she was fine. She had no fear and seemed to be pretty fond of him. maybe she was growing on him enough to change sides.... or maybe not. I finally had him back in my radar but there was more than just me and him out here. something else was around here and I could sense it. maybe a trap of some sort.

I felt a large presence. I was sitting untop of a large tower, my Autobot mark glowing. Once i left the large mech, i found the cordinates of Carnage. though, i only found what was left of him. i havent reported back to my boss, and i wasnt gonna neither. I need to find my brother.
its something i have to do.

Suddenly my radar picks up two beings. one large and one small. I look around to try and hear and i do. A jet. and....a heartbeat.
We transformers dont have hearts. A large growl came from me and my hands shook with anger that came rare.....Humans. I stood up and jumped from the tower and landed on the ground making the ground tremble. This anger, this growling, why do i feel wierd....thats when i heard like a bomb explode. someone was giong extremely fast.

my comlink came on.
OverDrive? Do you Copy?


i grab the comlink and destroy it. i look up to see a jet fly above me. why do i get the feeling that transformer is someone i hold dear...no sooner or later i transform and drive after him.

the only thing in the streets you could hear is my engine.

As Overdrive rips passed a ally, she is unaware of a large Semi-truck Wrecker. As soon as she passes, it transforms into a large Black and Green Transformer called. Havoc.

"Prime, come in."
"This is prime, what is it Havoc?"
"We have cons in this sector, should I intercept?"
"Negative Havoc, just hang back and stick your mission."
"Understood Prime, Havoc out."

Thinking to himself he wonders who the new Autobot is, and what she is doing here of all places. He then jumps into the air and transforms into a Cybertronian stealth jet, and cloaks himself form radar.

Speeds a head to observe.

my radar picked up a small presence and i put on my brakes. I still had the jets location on my radar, if i stopped now, i would loose them. thinking its only humans...i transform and put my eagle eyes to look for any survivals of the death of this city.

'I dont have time for this."

no one would know if this city just decided to be blown of the face of the earth. i grabbed my side and opened a sub space in my side. i took out a small electro energon bomb. i smirk watching the small bomb in my hand. i look around and put the bomb under some rocks.

i put in some numbers in are language and push the red button in the buttom.

Tick....Tock.....Tick....Tock....

the sound spreads around the city. i smirk and transform. now its time to get out of the city limits before it all go BOOM.
i take out my speeder wheels and i soon leave the bomb site while it keeps ticking, i feel wrong diong this, my autobot mark glowing but im not in no stand to get it back there.

seeing the highway and still having the plane in my radar i growl my engine and go faster, a hidden grin in my face, that bomb, not even sixshot could detenate.



00:08:45 minutes remaining.
