March 30 (Earth time) - Hey everybody! I finally found some time to write in my blog. It was a busy day today on Cybertron, since we just finished that big battle during which the universe was threatened and all... The planet is a mess, and the Energon supply is low, but we're hoping to replenish our supplies by drawing energy from Alpha Centuri, the star Cybertron orbits. Hopefully, we don't end up having to buy energy on Earth - its gas prices are really high!!!
I finally managed to recharge and get a stasis nap. I haven't slept in days, so it was nice to finally get some rest.
I spent the whole day cleaning up the mess made by the war, with some help from the guys. Hot Rod and Springer are both so cute!!! And helpful, too. They were actually fighting over who would hold the door for me... I solved that problem by holding the door for THEM and telling them to shut their vocal processors and get to work... Still, it was kinda cute. See why its so hard to stick to only one!?!
Most of the major cities, like Iacon and Kaon, were in ruins. We all worked really hard, and we're still not even close to finishing repairs. Still, it wasn't all work and no play. We had a huge party at night, Blaster was the DJ, and everybody was dancing. Elita One and Optimus are so cute when they dance together! As for me, I danced with pretty much all the guys, and more than once with Hot Rod and Springer. Of course, I danced with Blackout, who I also think is pretty cute (we went out for Energon a few times - if you don't know what's up with us, check the shout box on the "Femmebots" page). However, his girlfriend Nightwing was there, and they had optic sensors only for each other. Nightwing has been helping us reconstruct the planet. Neither one of them is an official Autobot yet, but we treat them like family. Honestly, we need all the help we can get cleaning up the mess we made. If only Bulkhead didn't have wrecking balls for arms... And if only Megatron wasn't a jerk...
As for Megs, we won't be hearing from him for a while. We kicked Decepticon tailpipe yesterday! Opti and Megs had an ultimate battle, and this time, it was really ultimate. Ion canons, anit-matter guns, Energon Axes and Maces... It was amazing! As for me, I didn't do too bad myself, and I don't think we'll be hearing from Devastator for a while either (yes, I took him on - all 6 Constructicons - and won)!!! Those were good times, despite the lack of stasis lock...
That's all for today. Tomorrow we are going back to work. Hot Rod and Springer said they have a surprise planned for me. I'm looking forward to it - it will either be really cool, or really dangerous, and, either way, it'll be way more exciting then rebuilding monuments. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.
Arcee :-) ;-) :D =) @*-*@
March 31 - Today was a lot more excting then yesterday, that's for sure. Hot Rod and Springer showed me their surprise... they took me to a nearby planet composed intirely of crystal. Its unihabited, but full of Energon, which we could use to restore our planet. It was also very beautiful and romantic. Crystal reflects all the colours of the rainbow. Springer, Hot Rod and I were engulfed in a kaladiescope of colours. We sat down and watched the stars. The planet has no atmosphere, so the view was very clear. It was really pleasant and peaceful, we made up our own constellations and talked about our hopes and dreams.
Unfortunaltely, we were rudely interrupted! The planet was not as uninhabitd as we thought - there were a few Decepticons who were unaccounted for during our last ultimate battle, presumed dead. Yeah right! They were hidding out on this peaceful planet, drinking Energon, and lazying around while everybody else was out fighting the good fight. When they saw us Autobots sitting around and minding our own business, they decided to attack us. There were twenty of them, mostly Seekers, but some bigger bots too. The three of us didn`t stand much of a chance, but we decided to face them.
Twenty divided by three is about seven, so that meant each of us would have to defeat about seven Decepticons. I wanted to take on the biggest, most heavily armed one of them all, but the guys said that it was too dangerous, so I fired ten shots, hitting ten of the Seekers (which distracted the guys), and then I went after the oversized bully. It was a hard battle - he had a lot more weapons and was a lot stronger than me, but I'm smart, fast, and, when I shoot, I never miss my mark. He threw punches at me with his humongous fists. I doged most of them, but he did managed to scratch some of my paint and cause minor damage to my systems (its all good now, even the paint). Since he was so big, I actually had to climb on top of him to do any serious damage. From the ground, I shot him in the optic sensors, which destracted him for long enough that I managed to climb on top of him and drop a grenade in his spark core. The guy was so huge, I needed three grenades! He blew up, and the guys just stared at me in awe. As they stared, two Seekers came up behind them and closed in for the kill, but I shot them both down, which awed the guys even more. I love making them speechless!
Of course, the guys weren't doing so badly themselves. A minute into the battle and they had each taken out two Seekers. By the end, there was only on Decepticon left standing. He managed to get away, but only because we would feel kind of bad if the three of us just ganged up on one guy that didn't stand a chance against even one of us. It would make us feel like bullies, just like Megatron and his lot.
When we got back to Cybertron, everybody was wondering where we've been for so long. We told them about the Energon-rich planet, and they were thrilled, but they weren't so pleased about the fact that there were Decepticons out there. If those twenty got away from the battle, then there might still be others. So Optimus Prime decided that tomorrow we'll split into three groups - one to guard Cybertron, one to collect the Energon from the Crystal Planet, and one to go Decepticon hunting. Sounds like tomorrow will be the start of another crazy adventure. No matter what happens, those Decepti-creeps had better watch out, cause we're ready for them!
Arcee :-) ;-) :D =) @*-*@
April 1 - April 1st... April Fools on Earth... Of course, with the likes of Jazz and Bumblebee around, it is also April Fools on Cybertron... It turned out to be a very... um... interesting day.
Because of the discovery Hot Rod, Springer and I made yesterday, we had a lot to do today - hunting Decepticons and mining Energon on Crystal Planet, all while pranking each other for April Fools!
I managed to get pranked before I even got out of stasis lock! When I opened my optic sensors, there was a giant Megatron standing over my bed, laughing evily. I reaced for my gun, and the shot went right through him! That's when I realized that it was one of Hound's holograms.
"Very funny, guys!" I said, realizing that Rod and Springer must be behind this.
And, sure enough, Hot Rod and Springer, accompanied by Hound, jumped out from behind a set of empty Energon Cubes and yelled "April Fools!"
"How much did those two malfunctions bribe you?" I asked Hound, making a point of ignoring Hot Rod and Springer completely, and making a mental note to get them back. I shall be avenged!
"The look on your face was priceless!" Hot Rod said.
"Good shot Arcee! If that had really been ol' Megs, you would have just won the war for us!" Springer added.
This appeased me, and I agreed to have breakfast with them, all the while trying to think of a way to prank them back.
At breakfast, Autobots were pranking each other back and forth. Bumblebee managed to sneak Ant Droids into everybody's Energon, which was disgusting, Moonracer pretended to shut down and scared everybody into thinking that she was malfunctioning, and Ironhide came in with a sign on his back that said "Kicker, please kick me!" He would have the Minicons to thank for that. I saw them working on it last night... They always go all out on April Fools. But the best prank of the day was what happened to Optimus Prime's trailer. As soon as we were done breakfast, and, inevitably, transformed and rolled out, Optimus' trailer appeared, painted pink with Care Bear pictures all over it. There was a big sign that said "The Care Bear Truck." Bumblebee, Hot Shot and Jazz had apparently stayed up all night spraypainting it... Optimus didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the rest of us laughed, especially Elita One! Talk about embarrassing moments!!!
As soon as Optimus' trailer was put back to normal (the guys were nice enough wash off their "work of art"), we spilt up. Of course, the guys got to go Decepticon hunting, while I had to take my Omnicon Team to Crystal Planet to mine the Energon. Not only does this mean that the guys get all the fun while I'm basically stuck in the kitchen getting the food, but it also means that I can't prank them! Luckily, a knight in shining armour came to my rescue, namely Ladybug, who I was sorta suppose to babysit. Except that I never used the word "babysit," I said "watch over and protect"... But Ladybug is not stupid and she knew exactly what was going on.
"Doesn't it suck," she said to me, "that the guys get all the fun while we have to do the work."
"Hunting Decepticons is work, too," I replied, but deep down I wanted to go with the guys as much as she did, if only because Rod and Springer really had it coming! Ladybug, being the bright little bot that she is, knew exactly how I felt.
"We should follow them!" She exclaimed. "Maybe we'll find Decepticons first and be the heroes of the day! That'll show those boys!"
I said that somebody's gotta bring home the chow, but she said that was a job for Omnicons, and that we should be out there fighting alongside the guys. I said "maybe next time," to which she replied by sighing and saying "yeah, and maybe next time you'll get to prank those boys."
She had hit a soft spot. I couldn't let those two off the hook, not after the way they had fooled me that morning! Before either of us had a chance to realize what was happening, I told the Omnicons to go on without me, we hoped into an empty space cruiser, and flew off after the guys.
All the while, we drove like maniacs and laughed about the craziness of this plan, and sang annoying Cybertronic pop songs at the top of our lungs. It was a lot of fun. I was overdue for a girls night out, and this crazy, spiraling, spontaneous, and totally insane ride through space was exactly what I needed. I'm sure Ladybug thinks I'm the coolest babysitter ever. I mean, how many people can say that their babysitter stole a space cruiser and took them hunting for giant metal monsters?
Soon we arrived at a small, rocky planetoid, a little smaller than Cybertron. It was the only rock orbiting a small, nearby star. We decided to check for Decepticon activity on it, not expecting to find anything, and thinking that it would be great fun.
We landed our space cruiser on the planet, and began exploring. We were loud and boistrous - afterall, the shuttle had not picked up any signs of life, so the planet must be safe. Or so we thought... As we skipped along, the ground suddenly caved in, and we fell into an underground tunnel. We slid down a metallic tube which spiraled downwards like a waterslide. When we finally fell, we found ourselves in a shaft thourough which we could see a a gigantic room, full of robots, who were busy fixing and creating other robots. It was a secret underground lab. When we looked closer, we realized that all the robots were wearing Decepticon Insignia, and that the humongous immoble robotic body in the middle of the room was none of other than... Megatron!
"Oh slag," I said. "They're reformatting the jerk!"
"Not if I can help it!" Ladybug exclaimed.
Before I had the chance to react, she sliced the vent open with her Star Saber, and jumped down into the lab! I sighed and followed her. I was turning out to be a terrible babysitter!!! This experience is SO not going on my resume!
The Decepticons were all shocked to see two female Autobots stumble out of an air vent, one looking like a fierce little Amazon with a blazing sword, and the other looking very annoyed and exasperated.
"Is this some sort of April Fool's joke?" one of them suddenly asked to break the silence.
"No its not!" Ladybug exclaimed, in her fiercest voice. "It is your doom!!!"
The Decepticons laughed - two little Autobot chicks can't stand a chance against the Decepticon Empire, or what's left of it. There were one hundred Decepticons, and only two of us. If we divide by two that means fifty Decepticons for me, and fifty for Ladybug. As hopeless as the situation was, we decided to put up a fight. Surrendering was out of the question to Ladybug, and I was not up for it either. Its better to get deactivated in a battle then to surrender to jerks like the Decepti-creeps (and end up deactivated anyways...). We did very well. Ladybug knows some smooth sword fighting moves, and, as you know, I never miss a target. For a while, the two of us put the hundred of them on the defensive. Pretty soon there were only 90 Decepticons left, then 80, and then 70.
"Looks like we're gonna win this one," I said.
I totally jinxed it by saying that! No sooner had the words left my audio processor then Megatron awoke from his slumber! Starscream, Soundwave, Barricade, Bonecrusher, Devastator, and many of the other most powerful Decepticons awoke with him. Ladybug and I were surrounded by monsters!
"Well, well, well... What do we have here?" Megatron sneered, looking at Ladybug. "The little thief who stole my sword! Well for that, you shall pay, yeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssss!"
Ladybug didn't even flinch. "I'm not scared of you, you big dummy!" she exclaimed, swinging her sword at his nose and scarring it!
"That was cool!" I said.
"Silence!" exclaimed Starscream. And then, he said to Megatron. "A true leader would terminate them at once. I, Starscream, would not have let her leave that mark on my face. That is why I should be ruler of the Decepticons!"
We giggled despite ourselves. Good old Starscream, always trying to despose of Megatron and take command.
"You fool!" replied Megatron. "We shall use them as bait for the Autobots, and THEN despose of them along with Prime! The Decepticons shall rule the universe once again! Mua-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!"
I rolled my optic sensors. "If we survive this, we're going to be in huge trouble!" Ladybug exclaimed.
I sighed "If only we had found out about this lab sooner..."
The Decepticons locked us in a cage, guarded by Ravage, which is where we are now. Ladybug is in high spirits. The little cutie believes help is on the way. In all the rush, Megatron forgot to disarm her, which means that Runway, Sonar, and Jetstorm, the Minicons who make up the Star Saber, are still with us, and still safe. I can't even begin to imagine what their fate would be if they were with Megatron. While Ladybug tries to cheer us up by singing old Spiceatron Femmebot hits at the top of her lungs ("If you wanna be my driver, you gotta get with my friends, make our world last forever, this battle never ends" and "Stop right now! Thank you very much! I need a hot trucker who's got the touch!"), I'm trying to hide those three and distract the Decepticons' attention away from them. If you're wondering how I managed to get on the Internet here, its because I have a built-in communicator with Internet connection, and I hooked it up to the Decepticons' Internet network (Rogers). Before posting, I hacked Megatron's files and spamed him!!! I sent him a thousand e-mails with an "April Fools" glitter graphic and animation! I also found out his embarrassing secrets (like his My Little Pony collection, and his youth as a one-man drag act and his failing audition for Cybertron Idol - man, that Silver Simon is a tough judge, luckily Aluminum Abdulica and Randicon are nicer... According to Simon, Megs "sings like a rusty hing." Megatron tried out with Spearhead Britallia's song "Hit Me Robo Babe One More Time.") I sent an e-mail to all his friends and to all his enemies with proof of these embarrassing moments. Check him out singing Britallia on youtube! lol
After I finished spaming and embarrassing Megs, an activity which gave me extreme pleasure considering that I was trapped in his cage cell and scheduled for termination, I decided to write about all this in my Blog. I hope it all turns out okay. And I hope we manage to get out of this one without help from the guys, but with Megs back in action, we're probably gonna need all the help we can get! Find out how this all turns out tomorrow, I'll keep you posted!
Arcee :-) ;-) :D =) @*-*@
April 2 - As you all know, Ladybug and I were trapped in Megatron's cage. The situation looked hopeless. There was no way for us to transmit any signals to the guys, and no hope of escape. Our cage was guarded by Bonecrusher, who, apparently, hates guarding cages. He also said he hates escaping prisoners... Ladybug stood up to him, of course. She told him that she hates Decepticons with an attitude problem. The poor little bot got blasted for it, but she didn't care. In fact, she was proud of it!
"Ladybug, you really need to be more careful," I said. "Its bad enough that we got captured. If I return you to the Autobots in pieces, nobody'll ever hire me as a babysitter again!"
Ladybug laughed it off and said "you worry too much!"
I sighed and went back to posting embarrassing videos of Megs on youtube. If I'm deactivated today, then at least I would have done something worthwhile during my life!
We were sitting around, resigned to our fate, when Blackout entered the room. He told Bonecrusher that Megatron ordered him to guard the cage now, and that Bonecrusher was free to leave. Bonecrusher replied by saying that he hated Megatron, but he left anyways. No sooner had Bonecrusher left the room then Blackout opened our cage.
"Shhh!" he said. "You're free to go, but don't make too much noise. Ladybug, Megatron will show you no mercy if he catches you. He'll never forgive you for humiliating him by stealing the Star Saber out from under his nose. As for you, Arcee, Megatron will torture you just for the fun of it. He knows no mercy, that is why I want to leave the Decepticons."
"Why don't you come with us then?" I asked. "We could always use another Autobot around."
"I still have too many ties here that are painful to break," Blackout replied.
I couldn't see why saying goodbye to Megatron and his goons would be so difficult for Blackout, but I guess if you've fought alongside somebody, then there must be some sort of bond there. Blackout had to rely on the Decepticons to watch his back, and he did the same for them.
We escaped through a secret tunnel. There seems to be a lot of those here, making it very easy for prisoners to escape. Why evil guys always build secret labs which are so easy to escape from is beyond me. We were almost at the door when, suddenly, Starscream appeared out of nowhere, with his croonies Skyuwarp and Thundercracker.
"Going somewhere?" he asked.
"Hi stupid!" Ladybug replied.
Starscream reached out to punch her, but Blackout blocked it.
"That would be enough," he said.
"And just what are you doing here with them, Blackout? Are you trying to betray our noble leader?" he said, making the reference to Megatron very sarcastic.
"No," I replied for Blackout. "He caught us escaping just befor you did."
I gave Blackout a pleading look, he understood, and agreed to play along.
"Fine!" said Starscream. "I don't want to bring you to Megatron, anyways! I want that sword for myself, so hand it over girly, and I'll let you go! With it, I'll be powerful enough to defeat Megatron. It'll never reach its full potential in your incompetant hands."
"I'll never give up my friends!" Ladybug exclaimed. "I'd rather be melted down into scrap!"
I sighed. Another situation with no way out. Starscream said that he would pry the sword from Ladybug's cold, dysfunctional servos, and closed in for the kill. I shot him before he managed to reach Ladybug and yelled at her to make a run for it as I took on the other two. She said that she could never leave her friends in need, but I told her to get help, so she sliced the door open and ran for her life.
The three Decepticons quickly recovered and attacked me. I shot at them, doged kicks and punches, and caused them some serious damage, but Starscream is strong. We were locked in a stalemate, which was broken by Thundercracker calling Megatron. My day just got a little worse.
"You let the little pest escape!!!" Megatron exclaimed when he found out that Ladybug was gone. "Starscream you fool! How dare you fail me yet again!" Then he turned to me and said "My anger grows, and I shall take out my rage on you! You will pay for your friends mistakes! I'll melt you down into slag."
Realizing that my situation was hopeless, I told Megs what I've always wanted to tell him - "Megatron, wow! You've changed since our last battle. It seems that every time I see you you get uglier and uglier."
This infuriated him, but he managed to compose himself well enough to calmly order the Decepticons to "drop that insolent wench into the melting pit." Blackout was about to object, but I elbowed him so hard he was rendered speechless. There was still hope of the Autobots arriving and rescuing me, and if Blackout stuck up for me now, there would be two robots melted into slag instead of just one.
We arrived at the melting pit. I sighed. This was it. Goodbye life, hello Allspark! But I wasn't going down without a fight. For old times sake, I kicked Megatron in the crotch, as hard as I could. He's so big, I had to stretch my leg up to reach that particular soft spot. Megs screamed in pain and lunged at me. The Decepticons all scrambled to catch me, but I was too fast for them. Blackout laughed at the way they scrambled to reach me. We kept this up for a while, with me escaping from them just as they were about to get their paws on me. Inevitably, I was caught, but by then I had managed to shoot down about twenty Decepti-creeps. I smiled. Not a bad way to cease function...
Luckily, it was not all over for me. Just as Megs was about to drop me into the melting pit (at which point I dramatically told him that he's a jerk, and that he'll always be a jerk), the Autobots arrived.
"Its about time!" I told them.
Megatron was furious! His plans were ruined again! He gave an angry roar and revealed his entire arsenal of weapons. Guns, canons, maces, and whips sprung from his body. "Pathetic," I told him.
And so, the war began...
Optimus took Megs on once again. They were caught in the eternal struggle between good and evil... Blaster attacked his rival Soundwave. Battle of the DJs!!! The Dinobots fought the Insecticons, and the Arial Bots fought the Constructicons.
Hot Rod and Springer, accompanied by a very worried Ladybug, quickly arrived by my side.
"Are you okay? Did they hurt you? Just wait till I get my hands on those jerks! You gave us quite a scare! Did you really take on the whole Decepticon army all by yourself?" they shot questions at me back and forth.
"Guys, seriously, chill!" I said. "We should help out in the battle before there's no Decepti-butt left for us to kick."
Before they had the chance to tell me that I had done enough and that it was time for me to rest, I went out into the battlefield, and fought alongside the Autobots until it was done. We won this battle, but, of course, the damage count was high. There would be a lot of repairs at home... But the Decepticon damage count was higher, and there would be time to regroup before their next attack, which could come any day now.
At the base, all the Autobots kept asking Ladybug and me about the Decepticon base, and about how we managed to find it. Ladybug told the whole heroic tale, exaggerating everything... I told them I was too tired to talk and asked for a cup of fresh Energon. Hot Rod and Springer waited on me and tried to fulfill my every wish. They raced to get me the Energon (so I ended up drinking two cups full). The other Autobots were busy preparing for battle, fortifying the base and building even more weapons to be prepared for the new threat. Optimus said that this war would be even more difficult, because of all the damage the previous one had caused. That`s ok, as you all know, I love a good fight...
The only problem is, I never did get to avenge myself for that April Fools day prank. But Hot Rod and Springer had better be on their guard - I`m going to get them next year!
Tommorrow there is ineviatbly going to be another battle. I`ll keep you posted!
Arcee :-) ;-) :D =)
April 3 - Its been a crazy day for all of us here on Cybertron. We knew a Decepticon attack was imminent, but we didn't know it would come so soon! We were all busy preparing for the inevitable attack. Everything went by so fast that we got our battle stations ready by mid day. Still, nobody was relaxing. We anxiously watched our satellite transmissions for Decepticon activity. They arrived like a swarm of Insecticons, armed and ready for the kill. Surprisingly, old Megs wasn't with them. Starscream was leading the attack. Optimus remarked that this was suspicious, but that they must be stopped regardless. So, all those who were in one piece after today's battle got their weapons, transformed, rolled out and followed the Decepticons.
They were heading for Kaon, the place where Unicron had sown his seeds of evil, once, long ago, turning the Transformer known today as Megatron into the war mongering dictator we all know and love... It became the Decepticon capital, so it was only natural that the Decepticons would try to reclaim it first. We sped towards Megatron's old command centre, hoping to reach it before the Decepticons. Some of the faster robots, including myself, Hot Rod, Bumblebee, Hot Shot, Prowl, Sunstreaker and Blurr, reached it first. Without waiting for the others, we climbed inside and got the guns ready. Blurr said something really fast about how exciting all this was, but none of us could understand him. The guy talks faster than I can drive, and that's fast!!! By the time the others arrived, we already started launching missiles at the approaching Decepticons.
We made it really hard for those creeps to even approach our base. We shot down a few Seekers in mid flight. Surprisingly, there weren't so many of them. I began to share Prime's suspicions. Why would Megatron send only a few Decepticons, and his worst soldiers at that, to recapture his capital? There was something else going on that we were not yet aware of. Knowing Megatron, this was sort of trap. I shared my suspicions with Hot Rod and Springer, and they both agreed, but none of us could guess what it was.
"It just doesn't make sense!" Springer said. "What else could Megatron be after? What do we have that he wants?"
"I dunno," I replied, sarcastically. "Embarrassing photos of him kissing Thunderblast? Cybertron is practically destroyed. There is nothing valuable left. We're going to have to think harder."
We were about to do just that when Optimus told us to focus on the mission. The Decepticons had landed, and it was time to fight the battle on the ground. This shouldn't be a problem. The only one of those Seekers who I would consider a worthy opponent is Starscream. The rest I could probably take on all by myself! Luckily, I didn't have to. Our entire army charged at them, and they began to quickly be eliminated off the battlefield, one by one.
That's when Optimus got a message on his communicator. It was Iacon, the Autobot capital, and they were sending a distress signal. Megatron and the main Decepticon force had arrived there!
"So that was it!" I exclaimed. "This attack was a distraction to get all of us to come down here and fight the Seekers while Megatron launched an attack on Iacon!"
"Yes," replied Hot Rod. "But why waste his time like this and split up his forces when he could just launch a direct attack on Iacon?"
"I think I know why, and I hope I am mistaken," Optimus answered. "If Megatron wants what I think he wants, than the whole universe is in danger once again."
"What's that?" asked Bumblebee.
Optimus replied by telling us to transform and roll out. So, we turned to vehicle mode, and left the Seekers behind. They kept on flying after us, shooting from the air. We had to dodge their shots with some fancy driving. Sunstreaker got shot once. He yelled at the Decepticons for scratching his paint. He's really picky about that. Hot Rod and I rode alongside each other, spiraling, twisting, and turining away from the shots in an intricate car-ballet. It was kinda like dancing, except that our lives were in danger, and the fate of the universe depended on us dancing in perfect formation. One little slip, and the dance of our lives would be over. Lucky Springer! Being a helicopter, he got to chase the Decepticons through the air and give us some firepower. The Arial Bots, Skyfire and Skylinx helped out, too. That's one of the things I love about the Autobot team - they've got your back no matter what.
Even though we drove faster than we've ever driven before, Megatron was gone by the time we arrived. Realizing that they've accomplished their mission, the Seekers left too. Whatever the Decepticons wanted, they had it now. Optimus sighed, and told Elita, Bumblebee, Jazz, Ratchet, Ironhide, Prowl and me to come with him.
"I hope its not gone," he kept saying. "I cannot let it fall into Decepticon hands."
Was he talking about Ladybug's Star Saber? His Matrix of Leadership? Our Energon supply? I could only guess. I could tell that Eli was in on the secret by the concerned look on her face, but everyone else was as puzzled as I was. We kept following Optimus until we got to Chamber of the Ancients. We entered the Chamber and took an elevator underground. We went down into the very core of the planet, to the place where the Spark of Primus/Cybertron, The Vector Sigma Computer, is kept.
"Could Megatron have stolen Vector Sigma?" Bumblebee asked.
"Probably not," Ratchet replied. "Its way too big to carry."
"Thats a relief," Bumblebee exclaimed. "I don't know what would happen to us if the very heart of the planet was destroyed."
"If my suspicions prove correct, the effects would be just as devastating as if Megatron stole the Spark of Primus," Optimus said.
We entered the planets enourmous Spark Chamber. In all the billions of years I've been online I had never seen anything like it. Its light filled the room, engulfing us in its glow, reflecting its light from our armour. I suddenly felt so alone, and I wished Springer and Rod were there to share the moment with me. They would probably have made a joke about the whole situation. I was in too awed to say anything. After all, here was the Spark of the bot who made the first Transformers. Without Primus/Cybertron, none of us would be here, and none of us would have a home.
Even though the Spark was glowing brightly, and everything looked fine, Optimus and Elita still looked worried. They quickly walked around Vector Sigma, rushing to get to something at the back of the Spark Chamber. There was a door with ancient Cybertronic symbols, written in a language older than this universe. Optimus pressed a few buttons on it, entering an ancient code, which opened the door. There was nothing behind it, just walls engraved with the same Cybertronic symbols. Elita gasped and Optimus screamed "Nooooooooooo." I realized that whatever Megatron stole had been kept behind that door, and that it was probably one of the things that kept this planet alive.
Optimus turned around to face the Spark. The rest of us did the same. "Primus, I have failed you," he said. "Megatron has the Allspark."
"Yo man, the Allspark was here?" Jazz asked.
"Yes," it was Primus himself who answered Jazz. "Sentinel Prime, the Autobot leader who came before Optimus, put the Allspark here to keep it from Megatron at the dawn of the Great War. Now it has fallen into his hands, and the entire universe is in danger."
"What exactly does the Allspark do?" Bumblebee asked. "I heard that it gives life to Transformers, but can't the Matrix do the same thing? Would Megatron be able to use it against us?"
"The Matrix stores the accumulated knowledge of the Autobots," Elita explained. "It is an extremely powerful, but limited source of life. The Allspark, however is unlimited. Megatron could use it to create billions of new Decepticons."
"Dude! That totally sucks!" Jazz exclaimed. "We gotta take it back from him!"
"Yes, we must return the Allspark to its place," Optimus replied. "Primus, I promise you that we shall not fail you this time."
"We will do whatever we can to defeat Megatron and restore order to Cybertron," Elita added.
"I trust that you will," Primus said. "But you will need a more powerful army to counter this threat."
As soon as he said that, a light engulfed each of us. It was so bright, I couldn't see what was going on, but I felt myself growing and getting stronger. When the light faded, all of us were reformatted into stronger bots.
"Cool!" Jazz said. "Primus, man, you rock!"
I couldn't have said it better myself, but, even with these new body, there was no way we could defeat billions of Decepticons.
"Thank you Primus," I said. "We will do our best."
"It will be a difficult battle. The most hardest you've ever fought in your lives. But I see great courage, determination, strength, and potential in you. If anyone can do it, you can."
"We will fight until Megatron is vanquished, or until our sparks are extinguished," Optimus said. "Autobots, roll out!"
We couldn't exactly roll out. We had to get back into the elevator and ride it up to the core. Then we all returned to base, where we were greated by our very concerned friends, who said they've already sent out a search party, lead by Hot Rod and Springer, to look for us.
"I need to go look for them!" I exclaimed. "I am stronger now, I can fight the Decepticons! I can not let Hot Rod and Springer die for me!"
"Calm down, Arcee," Optimus replied. "We will all go look for them, as soon as I let the other Autobots know what has happened."
So, Optimus told the others everything, and declared a crisis situation. They took the news very well. Gears said that this would be the end of everything and that there was no hope of survival, but he was the only one that complained. Everybody automatically began preparing for the upcoming battle. Wheeljack, Preceptor, Ladybug and Firestar automatically began looking up information on the Allspark in the Autobot data files. The Omnicons took a space cruiser to Crystal Planet to mine more Energon. Other Autobots went to check the weapons to make sure they were functional and to make necessary repairs. Still others began training for battle or making more weapons. And this was all within about half a minute of Optimus' announcement. I love the Autobots!
As soon as they got to work, Bumblebee, Jazz, Elita, Optimus, Prowl, Ironhide, Ratchet and I started our search for the search party. I am on the road to Kaon right now, typing as I drive, hoping to find Hot Rod and Springer safe and sound along the road.
This war is going to be the greatest fight of our lives, the biggest battle fought since before time began. With the Allspark in his hands, Megatron is a formidable enemy. He can potentially turn any metallic object into a deadly foe ready to destroy the Autobots! But we are ready and willing to face him, and we won't stop until the battle is won. Of course, Primus' upgrades are a nice touch, giving us an edge against the Decepti-jerks.
I'll c ya tommorrow, when Hot Rod and Springer will be back with me, where they belong. Or, at least, I hope they'll be back!
