"Lithium your with me were moving out i have just recieved word from Ultra magnus that Shadow has dispatched Prime to deal with Ultra magnus's recon team we will get him back you and i will handle this personally so lets Transform and roll out" Darksaber commands

[Lithium]

As you command, Darksaber! *Lithium beams. She transforms into her alt mode and flies above Darksaber.* I just hope we can get him in one piece ... I keep messaging him but my only replies are static.

"Don't worry nothing will happen to Optimus Lithium i promise that much i have radioed Ironhide to meet us there aswell, but if worse comes to worse i will use the Matrix to store Primes spark until we can construct a new body i already have Ratchet and Perceptor modifying a protoform ready for Primes return" Darsaber says

*Lithium looks down at Darksaber, and her spark grows warm.* Thankyou, friend. I'll radio Bumblebee and Trailbreaker and tell them to meet us there. *She radios Trailbreaker and Bumblebee.* Trailbreaker, Bumblebee, this is Aerobot Lithium. Darksaber and I are going to retrieve Optimus from teh shadowcons. If psuh comes to shove, we'll take his spark and transfer it into a new body. Please provide assistance if available. Do you copy? *Bumblebee replies almost immediately.* On my way, Lithium.

OOC: I dunno if anyone here is currently playing bumblebee. Until told otherwise, I will play his role.

[Dark_Rodimus84]

"Well lets go get Prime back" Darksaber says in a determined voice

[Lithium]

*As she follows Darksaber, Lithium transmits to Trailbreaker again.* Trailbreaker, do you copy? *She sends him the coordinates.* Meet us at the location I just sent you. I cannot say anymore in case my transmissions are being intercepted.

" .... cannot say anymore in case my transmissions are being intercepted." *Nemesis sighed disappointedly and shut down his comm links.* She's not as careless as I'd hoped she'd be. She implements an encryption in her transmissions I do not understand. However, one thing is for certain. I will once again be reunited with my ... "true love". *He turns to a statuette of Lithium which stood behind him. He had crafted it earlier on not knowing why he was doing it.* Soon, my dear, we shall be reunited. But I'm not quite sure that's what you really want ... *He chuckles darkly and strokes the statuettes cheek plates.* Soon, my dear, you and I will only be separated by death. And let me assure you, it will be slow and rough! *He turns away once more, contemplating on certain memories that were surfacing in his mind.*

"According to Ultra Magnus's message optimus should be just over this rise, how far away are the others?" Darksaber asks

[Shadow]

Nemesis Prime and Armorhide continued to their treck to find and distroy Ultra Magnus and his Autobots. "Where do you think they are? I want to kill some Autobots!!" Said Armorhide.

"Calm yourself!! They are here and you will get your wish very soon." Replied Nemesis Prime.
They came to what looked to be a drop off and as they looked down... "THERE!!!!" pointed Nemesis Prime. "AUTOBOTS!!!!! I knew you would come for me. It makes no difference who comes but that you came at all. Now who will be the first to fall at my feet?" Nemesis Prime stood tall as his arm came up across his chest and his Energon sword extended from his left arm. Standing just behind and to the left Armorhide dropped to his right leg and powered up his arm cannons to fire at any Autobots who might run up the hill toward them.

[Lithium]

*Lithium sees Optimus ahead, but it was just as it was of her vision of him. He looked basically the same but his optics shone bright red. His energon sword extended from his arm and she knew this meant she'd have to fight him. She drew her longsword.* Optimus! I challenge you to a one-on-one battle! I don't claim to be an expert at fighting but I know all the same moves you know. Are you bot enough to take me on?! *She couldn't believe what she was saying. This was the love of her life and she was challenging him to a sword fight. A real sword fight! Fear grew inside of her like a tumor, eating away at her. But she stood firm, not letting it show.*

"If you are so eager to meet Endspark then you will have it!!!" Nemesis Prime started to walk down the drop off toward Lithium as Armorhide slowly stepped down behind him at a much slower pace to watch over Prime and make sure no others tried to enter the battle.

[megatron42]

astrotrian this is firehawk... this is a search and resuce mission to find megatron
and bring him back, i'm having soundwave dispatch lazerbeak and ratbat to aide you

[Dark_Rodimus84]

Darksaber Transformed "LITHIUM stand down i'll handle this don't worry we'll get prime back i promise" Darksaber said calmly

Darksaber Pulled his Sword out and pointed to Nemesis Prime "i don't know what has possesed you Prime but after today you shal be free of that prison and returned to normal an i'll use as much force as i have too, Ironhide you take care of Armorhide and remember he's not who he used to be so be careful"

[nightshade]

*Skywarp awaits inside his watch tower, eagerly awaiting the return of his elite guard. Soon afterwards, Darkmatter, Hypnotwist, Insomniac, Predator, Quake and Tremble arrive carrying Spirit and Timberwolf; as the latter two appear to be in stasis shock....Terror greets them at the entranceway to our facilities and promptly dismisses them all, except for Darkmatter. Together they transport their fallen comrads to the conference center for debriefing. There awaits the elder Shadowcons as a few of them prepare battle tactics, based on the sparce information Shadow was able to give them concerning the phantom menace. A few others are pouring over the bleek video footage we were able to attain of our attacker, while the rest search feverishly through the Shadowcons database for internal diagnostic sketches for our fallen brethren: Backdraft and Firestarter. A few all-spark fragments were all that could be recovered, but the mechs re-construction was now underway. Shoring up the walls and ceiling had taken a considerable amount of time, but was a necessity nonetheless...Nightshade looks up at Darkmatter and Terror...barking orders for them to get their processors in gear and get Timberwolf and Spirit hooked up to the M.M.M (memory maintenance machine). If they are unable to tell us what they seen, we will "jumpstart" their memory for them....*

*I worked at getting Timberwolf and Spirit hooked up to the MMM machine, while shouting orders for things to be moved in gear. I wanted to know who it was that caused the explosion and caused Shadow harm. I was also aware that things were getting progressively worse outside of the base. I knew it wouldn't be long before the Autobots would find out where we were, and the present condition of the base was in poor condition. When we had everything hooked up I started scanning their memory banks for any visual information on who or what done the damage.*

[megatron42]

firehawk this is astrotrain i located megatron.. will load him in and bring him back
everything is ready

[Shadow]

Back at the Shadowcon HQ Shadow was in one of the other holding chambers where he was still in stases from being attacked by something or someone that no one had any information on. As the others were in a hurry to get the base back to some sort of safe opperations and Nightshade was busy tring to tap into the mem banks of the others who were also attacked by the unseen intruders, Shadow's life signs spiked on the stases monitor. His body jumped and he screamed out as his bodie's internal core temp jumped to levels that started to melt the stases table he was resting on. The temp in the room spikes levels that would melt most electrical sercitry and some armor if a bot was to close. Shadow continued to scream out but was still in deep stases lock. His stases monitor and most everything around him melted to slag as his body fell to the floor.

[megatron42]

as atrotrain arrive with megatron.. the drones bring him into the nemesis for repairs
soundwave get started

[nightshade]

*While working on getting everything hooked up alarms suddenly went off . I looked up one of the monitiors and it said it was coming from the holding chamber where shadow was. I wasn't sure what was going on so i look a chance on seeing what it was. The alarm said that a massive energy spike just happened and the temperature in the room just spiked considerably.
As I made my way to the holding chamber I could feel the heat so i activated my shielding and went into the room and found shadow on the floor and everything around him melted to slag.*

"What in the..." I said to myself not sure of what to do but knowing that this extreme heat going on it could cause extensive damage to the base. I had to find a way to protect him and the base so I took a chance and went and grabber him, built up my shield power around me until it encased the two of us and held him until what ever it was subsided. I also took alot of the intense heat in stride.*

As Nightshade grabbed onto Shadow and shielded them both, the heat inside the shielding continued to spike. But because of Nightshades's smart thinking the temp in the room began to return to normal. Only now there was still the problem with the heat within Nightshade's makeshift shilding bubble. How much could she take? What was really happening to Shadow?

Then from behind... Nightshade just caught a glimps of something semi-tranparent phase-shift through the back wall, and it sounded like it almost said something like The prosses was not complete. All units move to.... And then the rest was garbbled and lost as the intruder moved out of range.

*While holding on and trying to concentrate, the heat was building, but I was no stranger to pain so I held fast. I then saw something move out of the corner of my eye, and I could hear it say,"the proccess wasn't complete. I couldn't let Shadow go, something critical was happening and I was thinking that the shilding stopped something, but I also couldn't raise the alarms to intruders either cause that would brake my concentration, so I held on even though the pain was near unbearible and I could feel my armour heating more and more. worried for his own safty more than my own I concentrated harder than ever before on shielding us, until we were surrounded by a glow of negative purple like energy.

I then reached into his mind and called to him, "Fight this Shadow, don't let what ever this is win. I will protect you and shield you, even if it cost me my spark!!" I said to him in thought while holding on

Shadow could hear a voice call to him but more like a voice inside his head. "I hear you sister. They want the Dark Matrix. Something about them... they are not Shadowcon but something...something is the same...The one that attacked me... I... I have seen her before. The other that was with her as well. There are five here. She almost had the Dark Matrix. I could feel her arm in my chest... she... she would have ripped it from my chest. They... she... had to have me in stases before they could remove it. The heat will countinue until it melts my body... then... then all that will remane will be my spark chamber and the Dark Matrix. The other that was with her said he would take my Spark chamber back to............. But just as Shadow was about to continue his body temp spiked once more and Nightshade could see his armor on his chest start to melt away and the armor on his legs was already worn through and his internal circitry was melting.

*Seeing the damage progress I figured there was only one course of action left, I was gonna have to bring him into the void whil maintianing this shield, hopefully that would stop it from progressing worse. I picked him clear up even though he was bigger than me, and warped us into the void in hopes of being out of range of what ever was doing this. It appeared to have worked but I still had to maintain the shield.
"You said they wanted the dark matrix, who is they?...What do you remember of our past before being trapped in the Allspark? I wanted to tell you before but when i returned you was already gone. We have more of a connection to that cube than first thought, it was our being trapped in it that gave it its power for intelligence. Now is the time to show that our intelligence rules...now break free of what ever is trying to use you, infuse the dark matrix with your true shadow self and gain the strength needed to be more powerfull then ever...I know you can do it!!" I said still holding fast even though the effects had started to effect me as well

[megatron42]

Being back in the Void had stopped Shadows body from melting away but the heat was still there. Only now the heat was no longer melting away Shadow's external armor. As Nightshade looked over her brother's body it was clear that if she would not have warped them to the Void they both may have melted into slag from the heat. But it was still unclear as to where the heat was coming from. Was it surronding Shadow's body or was it coming from within? Nightshade could see that the heat had already melted away most of Shadow's outer armor on his chest as the Dark Matrix and his Spark Chamber could be see through his internal chest plate and ribbings. His lower legs were all but gone and his left arm was gone at the shoulder. There was still no answer from shadow as he laid there and his sister held him as she could see that she too had a good portion of lower and arm armor missing.

[nightshade]

*As I was holding shadows still, and non responsive body I could still feel the heat, so I decided to do a thermal scan to see if I could pin point the heat source and it seemed to be coming from his chest area, I could only surmise that some how the Dark Matrix was interfering with his shadow spark, that maybe something was done to the Dark Matrix to have this kind of reaction. I had to get him to take it out, but with his lack of response I wasn't sure if I was gonna be able to stop this.*

As Nightshade did her thermal scan she could only come up with that the heat was coming from his chest. In fact as she completed the scan she could feel that the heat had spiked once more but only that nothing was happening to either her or Shadow. But there was something else. As she looked closer she could see that Shadow's internals were or at least tring to regenerate just as he should have started doing by now. Something was preventing that from happening. Some of his internals that did start to melt had like it was intended, start to reformat into its true black liquid state of the matter that the Shadowcons were first made of but there was another liquid... almost water like, clear like, and that was preventing him from regenerating. This other liquid was flowing from and back into the Dark Matrix.

Then as she looked closer Shadow's still functioning arm reached up and grabbed her on the shoulder. " Sister... Thank you for bringing me here to stop this but it is not safe here in the Void any longer. Unicron wants the Dark Matrix back and by being here he is that much closer in getting it. She... the one who tried to remove it... you stopped her. She was there while you picked me up but before you did she transplanted a virus that would turn the Dark Matrix into a self contained reacter... it...it has its own self defence system. It is fighting off my ability to regenerate and is keeping me from becomeing more powerful then it. But if you take it out it will detenate. She... she rigged it so only she can remove it or once my body has become nothing, then she could retreve it. Unicron must not get it back. He has sent them to get it. We the Shadowcons have failed him in his eyes and did not bring it back to him as we were ment to. Now...now he has sent others. Others much like us but more advanced. I have seen it... I have seen who they are. The Dark Matrix has shown me. They have been around as long as us and he has kept them as a back up plan. They are the --Bearers of the Void--

This is their way.........................................
Unicron Worshippers
Deify Unicron, they believe Primus is dead
Try to hamper all preparation for Unicron's coming
Infiltrate other sects
Cause mistrust between Sects & Races
Facilitate the rivalry and division between Autobots & Decepticons
Constantly seek to assassinate the Matrix Bearer.
They are the only ones that know Unicron's true name; all others refer to Unicron as "the Chaos Bringer", "god of darkness", "god of the void", & "the fallen god".
Anyone who discovers them will either become one of them, or be killed by the "bearers".
Basic Tenets include:
Unicron will triumph
The Universe will be consumed
The Matrix is not Primus' Spark (or Lasercore), but a weapon developed by those who fear Unicron, to use against the Chaos Bringer
All beings that refuse to bow to Unicron, must be destroyed
The Autobots and Decepticons must NEVER be allowed to unite
Any means necessary to bring about Unicron's triumph must be enacted
Secrecy is top priority, disclosure could bring unity to the Cybertronians, and punishment by Unicron
"Till all are one" refers to Unicron's final triumph, and He has consumed everything and his chosen ones dwell on him.
