Transformers Roleplaying Part-5 The road to new beginning.

[megatron42]

shadow your taking away all of the decepticons because of some voice
you heard... wonders to self could it be unicron or something else

[Specter1980]

*Raises an optic ridge at Specter's excitement.* "Uhh, Ookay." *Swift walks over to the table where there is a drone lying with it's chassis opened* "Ugh! WTF? What the heck are you doing?" *She exclaims, taking a step back.*

"Its ok sister?" Specter said almost in a question as if asking Swift if it was ok to call her such. "The drons, even in their sevice to Megatron have somehow seen enough to realize that they too want to be free of taint and just being mindless sub-things. We know they are as we. They will be as we are and will no longer have to be slaves." As Specter finished and closed the Drone's chest, it's optics came online and the optics went from red to green. "See Swift, even now he is changeing and taking on his very own life and being whole. The taint of Megatron is no more and he like us will live free and do as he sees fit. Not as Megatron or Prime would have us do." The Drone looked up and spoke for the first time as it flexed his new body. I feel... I have a new begining. Thank you brothers!!!!

[megatron42]

then if all are gone i shall build a new army

[Shadow]

then if all are gone i shall build a new army

Hearing Megatron in his comlink Shadow put his head down and sighed. "Why Megatron? To build a new Army is to undermind everything we aim to do. By building a new army you only show that you are not willing to change for the better." As Shadow went on talking to Megatron through the comlink Swift stood and watched as the Drone stood up and flexed his new body and Specter seemed to glow with pride as he for once in his life helped to bring a Spark freedom and not destruction. The new bot that was once just a drone looked around the room and again spoke. "I need a name brothers. What will I be known as?" Shadow turned as he turned his link to Megatron off. "Our newest free brother... You call yourself as you wish. We are not your masters and so we will not name you. This is up to you now." The drone looked down and then back up. "Even as just a drone I sometimes had these thoughts in the back of my processors that showed some kind of flashbacks or at least it was information that I could not process because of the chip that would not allow me to think on my own so... I think I'll call myself Flashback."
"Then I say brother Flashback... welcome to the road to a new beginning."
Shadow turned and Flashback followed him outside to where all the others waited to meet their newest free brother. The other guard drones in the chamber lined up to have the same process done as Specter went on with his work. Swift still standing there looked at Specter and then back to Shadow as he and Flashback walked out. Not knowing what to think she stood there and watched Specter continue to give the other drones free Sparks.

[Specter1980]

Looking over to Swift. "I see you are still not sure of how to take this but like Shadow said... if you didnt want to be here you wouldnt be. You can help me if that will help you see that we aim to help them." Specter said as he looked down to a drone now on the table and then back up to Swift. Even the drone looked over at her and gave a nod as if saying it was ok. Then the drones one main optic went black as it slipt into stases lock for the complex operation Specter was about to start.

[Swift]

*Swift thinks hard for a moment about this whole situation before answering.* "I can see that your doing your best to help start a new era. An era of a free world and of waybeing. But what I don't understand is why you'r doing so. I mean, after all you are Shadowcons." *Swift walks out of the room for a brief moment and contacts Trailbreaker. "If there's any bot that still has some knowlege imprinted in their harddrives it's Trail...." She says to herself before opening a comm link to him, but stops. Her optics widen at the fact that he was still in Prime's trailer and Optimus and Zenith had come in robot form without it. Without telling anyone, let alone allowing Specter to answer her question, the femme sneaks out and drives off looking for her lost comrad.*

(OOC: Hey Zen, I kinda wanted to make this a bit more interesting atm, so I just said u abandoned the trailer elsewhere for now :P And, I might not be on later btw.)

[Starscreamisthebest]

Unaware of the activity with the drones below him and the arriving Autobots, Starscream sits on a rocky ledge just to the right of the entrance, finally giving the time to think it over. Once, he had hated the war. But now that he had been pulled into it, and made it into one of the higher ranks, he found it hard to stop now. Sure, I'd love to leave Megatron's command, he thought. But I've been in this war too long. My mind only seeks power...and the only strategy for power my processors remember...is violence.

Starscream ponders the topic for a little more, then sits there blankly, watching as the sun began to sink in silence.

Streak had been sitting in the same room since everyone else had left it, pondering private thoughts. Her optics suddenly onlined as she detected a familiar energy signal. Scrambling up, she silently slipped out the doorway and down the corridor. Reaching the entrance area, she peeked around the corner and saw that a few Autobots had arrived, one of them Optimus. Careful to hide her joyful, relieved emotions, Streak walked out from behind the corner and into sight, standing somewhat behind a few (suddenly reprogrammed) drones and watching her secret comrades quietly. To make it more realistic, she glared and pretended to show a slight twinge of disgust, but inside she wanted to run up to them and hug them.

[Skywarp]

*Skywarp had been debating over what choice he would make all day. By now, it was nearing nightfall and service drones had been coming and going from the reconstruction chamber for quite some time now. Rumors had quickly spread around the camp about the surgical process they had undergone, and how they had their brain-wave decoder chips (or rectifier chip) removed and replaced with a neutral aligned substitute chip. The only problem was all the drones that left the reconstruction chamber, while happy, did not seem to have a purpose anymore.*

*Looks up at Starscream after noticing Optimus' arrival*

"I think I'll pass on reconstruction for now...or at least until all the Autobots have gone first, ha, ha...!"

Starscream looks up startled at Skywarp's sudden appearance.
"Reconstruction....yeah..." he murmurs, still looking out into the distance and totally oblivious to what Warp just said. Suddenly, it comes to him.
"Wait...there are Autobots here? I didn't even notice...." He was just out of it, he assumed it was because he had too much on his mind. Starscream wasn't about to ask about this 'reconstruction'...he decided he would wait to see for himself what it was.

[Starscream_85]

*mutters to himself*

"I'm not a traitor. I just not too sure about all of this. I have served under the Decepticon faction and I'm not leaving it so hastily. I need time to understand all of this and what is to come...WARP! Hey Warp and Screamer!!," I yelled to my fellow seekers.

"Maybe they will shed some light on this and figure it out together", I thought.

[Trailbreaker]

*Swift thinks hard for a moment about this whole situation before answering.* "I can see that your doing your best to help start a new era. An era of a free world and of waybeing. But what I don't understand is why you'r doing so. I mean, after all you are Shadowcons." *Swift walks out of the room for a brief moment and contacts Trailbreaker. "If there's any bot that still has some knowlege imprinted in their harddrives it's Trail...." She says to herself before opening a comm link to him, but stops. Her optics widen at the fact that he was still in Prime's trailer and Optimus and Zenith had come in robot form without it. Without telling anyone, let alone allowing Specter to answer her question, the femme sneaks out and drives off looking for her lost comrad.*

Trailbreaker picks up a coded message while in Prime's trailer. It was coming from none other than Swift. He then gets the coordinates to where the original message was sent...Decepticon territory. "Slag! Just where she shouldn't be. Well, I guess I better go find her." Trailbreaker then transforms and exits Prime's trailer. he finds himself traveling in a barren waste land, no sign of life or activity. He then makes it to the spot where the message was supposedly sent. No sign of Swift. He then came to one conclusion. The Decepticons must have highjacked the signal and sent a false one out to trick Trailbreaker into coming here. "Why me? What would they want with me?"

[Starscreamisthebest]

*mutters to himself*

"I'm not a traitor. I just not too sure about all of this. I have served under the Decepticon faction and I'm not leaving it so hastily. I need time to understand all of this and what is to come...WARP! Hey Warp and Screamer!!," I yelled to my fellow seekers.

"Maybe they will shed some light on this and figure it out together", I thought.

"What, TC? What do you want?" Starscream yelled back at his blue brother. Suddenly he noticed a large metallic shape some distance off idling on the ground. Zooming in on it with his binocular function, he saw it was the Autobot Trailbreaker. He looked inquiringly at the two other Seekers to see if they had a response to it.

"Ohhhhhh, bugger." Trailbreaker sees the seekers. "I knew it." Trailbreaker then drives off away from the seekers, a cannon deploys from the back and fires at them to protect himself. Trailbreaker then spots what appears to be a bunker in the distance. He drive furiously closer and closer to the bunker. Upon arrival, he transforms and blasts his way through the door, Trailbreaker now finds himself in some dark, secret shaft with only his headlights to illuminate the place. He wasn't sure if the seekers outside would follow him in there considering how narrow the shaft is and how large the seekers were. But he did all he could to watch his back.

[Lithium]

Shadow once again responded to the Autobot leader as Optimus and another Autobot named Zenith made their way to Decepticon HQ. "Prime!!! Once again you say what does not matter now. You did what you thought was right. You sent the Allspark into deep Space not thinking of where it might end up and that most would not just sit and watch it happen and some would make haste to get it back. Did you think that by doing this, all bots, Autobot, Decepticon or otherwise would just sit on Cybertron and watch their life giving Allspark fade into the blackness of Space. NO!!!!!!! You didnt think of this!!! You thought of only one thing and that was not letting Megatron get it. You both craved one thing and one thing only. He wanted complete power and you only wanted to stop him. Neither of you showed that you would put your fellow brothers and sisters first. You threw your brothers and sisters to their deaths as did Megatron. All for the Power of the Allspark. Something that was gifted to us all by our Father Primus! Cant you see you are no different then Megatron himself? You say you fight for goodness and justice and everthing true. But in his darkest of Spark, Megatron also believed in this very thing. Yes a little more twisted in thought then you, but in the end its all for not as you both put yourselfs before others in a show for power. So I warn you my wayward brother if you come... I will not be aloud to let you leave. As we speak others see the true way and see they were all pawns in your little brotherly squable. I will not stand by and let this taint go on. I give you one last chance... turn around and leave this planet and take your infernal war to the far reaches of space where you will not taint your brothers and sisters any longer. As for you Zenith, it is not to late for you. Come and be whole."

*Optimus brakes. His wheels squeal, breaking the silence of the night.*
*Zenith flies and lands down besides him.* Optimus ...
*He puts his hand up to silence her.* I sent the allspark through the space bridge to get it out of Megatron's grasp. I didn't know where it would go, only that it would no longer be where he could find it. *He says to Zenith before transmitting to Shadow.* I never wanted to fight with Megatron! But the plans he had made for the Allsprak were ... madness! My Autobots agreed with me that he had to be stopped. This is nothing to do with him as a Decepticon! This is to do with him DOMINATING THE UNIVERSE USING THE ALLSPARK!!!! This didn't just involve him and myself, it involved all lifeforms throughout the universe! I wanted to end this, he didn't. It is not for you to decide whether I should leave this planet or not. If the humans no longer want me here, I will go back to Cybertron and attempt to rebuild it. Otherwise, I'm staying right here.
*Zenith transmits to Shadow.* Wait ... hold up, you said that if Optimus goes to Decepticon HQ, you will never let him leave. Why? Does our father Primus not forgive his children for their mistakes? No! Does he stop loving his children when they've done something wrong? No! You do not speak the word of Primus if you believe that. Would it upset Primus to see a child of his hurting their brother or sister? Yes. But he doesn't stop loving them because of that. He doesn't condemn them to purgatory because of that. That is not the Primus I worship.
*Optimus and Zenith look at each other.* I'm not abandoning you, Optimus. *They both look at the Decpeticon HQ up ahead. They aren't far from it. They can see some Decepticons standing outside looking in their direction. Zenith turns on Invisibility mode and touches Optimus's arm, making him invisible as well. They stand and wait to see if anyone else comes.*

[Starscream_85]

"What, TC? What do you want?" Starscream yelled back at his blue brother. Suddenly he noticed a large metallic shape some distance off idling on the ground. Zooming in on it with his binocular function, he saw it was the Autobot Trailbreaker. He looked inquiringly at the two other Seekers to see if they had a response to it.

"Screamer, did ya see Trailbreaker? He's in hiding...Should you, Warp and me check this development out?"

[Starscreamisthebest]

"Ohhhhhh, bugger." Trailbreaker sees the seekers. "I knew it." Trailbreaker then drives off away from the seekers, a cannon deploys from the back and fires at them to protect himself. Trailbreaker then spots what appears to be a bunker in the distance. He drive furiously closer and closer to the bunker. Upon arrival, he transforms and blasts his way through the door, Trailbreaker now finds himself in some dark, secret shaft with only his headlights to illuminate the place. He wasn't sure if the seekers outside would follow him in there considering how narrow the shaft is and how large the seekers were. But he did all he could to watch his back.

There is a great explosion as the seekers are all thrown backwards. Getting up, Starscream sees Trailbreaker speeding off into the distance towards some kind of bunker. Before he can do anything, Streak comes (haha, pun!) streaking out of the base.

The base shakes as an explosion sounds from above. Suddenly everyone is looking around, and Streak sprints to the outside. Once out there, she sees the three Seekers sprawled on the ground. As Starscream gets up, she yells up to him
"What happened? Are you three alright?"

Starscream sighs as Streak yells up at him. "Yes, i'm fine, and i'm pretty sure the others are too. What just happened was that Autobot Trailbreaker just randomly decided to fire at us! Mind explaining that?!"

[megatron42]

shadow where is this nexus you speak of

[Starscream_85]

* being blasted to the ground*

"Ugh...You ok, Screamer...Warp? What's Trailbreaker's deal? Streak..what is going on?"

[Lithium]

*Zenith transmits to Shadow.* If Optimus goes to the nexus and will not be released, does that mean you're going to keep Megatron there aswell?

[Shadow]

*Zenith transmits to Shadow.* If Optimus goes to the nexus and will not be released, does that mean you're going to keep Megatron there aswell?

" No young one... the Nexus is not a place. It is in here." Shadow says as he points to his head. "You see all... Autobots, Decepticon and Shadowcons have what we call a Defense Matrix installed in them. Do not confuse this with the Matrix of leadership Prime carries. This Defence Matrix is a autoimmune system. It can repsond to nonphysical intrusions with countermeasures and reflexive distress signals brodcast by any available means. It functions at levels below conscios control. My Nexus is this but evalved to a much higher level as I can use my thought to connect to everyone at one time."

[Shadow]

*Skywarp had been debating over what choice he would make all day. By now, it was nearing nightfall and service drones had been coming and going from the reconstruction chamber for quite some time now. Rumors had quickly spread around the camp about the surgical process they had undergone, and how they had their brain-wave decoder chips (or rectifier chip) removed and replaced with a neutral aligned substitute chip. The only problem was all the drones that left the reconstruction chamber, while happy, did not seem to have a purpose anymore.*

*Looks up at Starscream after noticing Optimus' arrival*

"I think I'll pass on reconstruction for now...or at least until all the Autobots have gone first, ha, ha...!"

"My brother Skywarp!! This process that the drones are going through is not something any of you will undergo. It is just to remove the chip that Megatron had implanted to surpress their self awearness. Do you not see that even they should be able to choose what they want and even if that is to let them decide if they too would be Decepticon, Autobot or stand as a whole with us... not as either?" They are free so now they have the freedom to find their own purpose. Not just to be mindless killing things or working in the minds as slaves. This is what We want for all. To be free!!!"

[Lithium]

OOC: Incase you didn't see. I'll be back in an hour or two.

*Optimus brakes. His wheels squeal, breaking the silence of the night.*
*Zenith flies and lands down besides him.* Optimus ...
*He puts his hand up to silence her.* I sent the allspark through the space bridge to get it out of Megatron's grasp. I didn't know where it would go, only that it would no longer be where he could find it. *He says to Zenith before transmitting to Shadow.* I never wanted to fight with Megatron!

It is not for you to decide whether I should leave this planet or not. If the humans no longer want me here, I will go back to Cybertron and attempt to rebuild it. Otherwise, I'm staying right here.
*Zenith transmits to Shadow.* Wait ... hold up, you said that if Optimus goes to Decepticon HQ, you will never let him leave. Why? Does our father Primus not forgive his children for their mistakes? No! Does he stop loving his children when they've done something wrong? No! You do not speak the word of Primus if you believe that. Would it upset Primus to see a child of his hurting their brother or sister? Yes. But he doesn't stop loving them because of that. He doesn't condemn them to purgatory because of that.

They stand and wait to see if anyone else comes.*

[Shadow]

Next to Shadow as he stands at the door to the base another Shadowcon stands beside him. "This is Flashback!!! He was once a drone but now you see he is free and able to do as he sees fit for himself. So... I ask you Flashback, Are you Decepticon? Or are you Autobot? Shadow pointed out to the distance not to far from the base. Prime!! I live by the cloak and see through it. You and Zenith may not be seen by the others but I can see. Do not hide. I mean not to harm you." Looking back at Flashback. "Again brother, what side will you feel best comfortable with?"

Flashback put his head down and in a flash his mind went white and he got a flashback of memory when he was a drone and the evil things Megatron made him and the others do of not their own free will. And as fast as that flashback faded away he was hit with another one of the Cybertronian war and saw how many other drones from not only the Decepticons but ones that the Autobots... that Prime commanded had fallen in combat for nothing other then war. He looked up and in a stern voic said."Neither!!! I chose to be free and be whole. I chose when I will fight and kill if need be and I chose when I will help my brothers and sisters live free." Looking over at Shadow and back into the base as he watched more free drones come out into the open." I chose to be Shadowcon and be free."

Flashback was a flying drone once but now he had changed as his new Power Chip Rectifier had changed him and made him his own being. He now looked different from the others and did not look nothing like a drone now and his powers were his own as well. From behind him other ex-drones walked out or flew out and each of them was changed and was its own being. Some like Flashback had green optics as other still had red and some even had yellow and blue. The color of thier optics showed that they were indeed self beings that thought and acted on their own now. Two other flyer flew out... Skyfurry and Deepstrike they called themselfs. Then came ground based bots... all ex-drones as well... Two were almost twins but one was a bit more slender and looked to be female. The male was red and the female was orange. They called themselfs Backdraft and Firstarter. Then came TestTrack, Landslide and Roadrage. All choosing as Flashback did.

[Shadow]

As Shadow walked down from the base he could see explosions as the Seekers were all on their backs as an Autobot sped off. "My brothers!! Are you ok?" As Shadow said this some others rushed over to help them to their feet among them was Chaos as Shadow could see that even if the seekers were still unsure of where they stood, Chaos still thought of them as brothers and was willing to help them out even if they didnt want the help. Looking back to Prime Shadow once again spoke. "Is this what you planed Prime? To come here and continue your war?" Shadow stepped up to where Zenith and Prime stood cloaked. Why does your little friend fire on others and run. None here have made any attempt to fire on you." Now there must have been at least 30 to 40 different Decepticons, Shadowcons, Drones, ex-drones and Autobots all in one location and one Autobot goes and makes the sittuation tence for all.

[Specter1980]

Hearing the comotion outside Specter dropped his tools and rushed outside. Once outside he could see where there had been an explosion and three seekers lay on the ground. Shadow was standing as he talked to a Cloaked Prime and another Autobot as Chaos was trying to aid anyone he could. All the while the new bots that were once drones were all now standing and looked to be ready to fend off anything that would once again try to surpress them. What was going on he thought to himself. He looked down as Havoc, Warzone and Nightshade looked tence as they watched Shadow walk up to Prime. He thought to himself that if something major happend now then many Sparks would be lost for nothing. He yelld inside for swift who was still stuned at how fast Specter had freed so many Drones from their duties of being killing toys for Megatron's own pleasure."GET OUT HERE!!! THIS CANT HAPPEN!!!"
