We were currently heading over to the Hippogriff Kingdom to pick up the last remaining Autobots, the ones we have were Predaking, G1 Dinobots, the four Bumblebees, and G1 Wheeljack.
“Hey, Prime, how ya holding up?” Ed asked. “Which bots are we going to pick up anyway?”
“I'm good Ed, and we are picking up AOE Hound and Ratchet, and Milo Nakadi from Tfp, she also has the Apex Armor,” I said to my brother like figure, “And they are making peace between us Autobots and the Hippogriffs.”
“Excellent news my friend. You might want to contact them and let them know not to shoot us down if you haven’t already. But enough of that. We still have some adjusting to do in between your body and mind on your magic. I’ll take care of it now,” Ed says activating Archive causing a screen with a picture of my head to pop-up. On the screen were a few different status bars on it showing some form of progress in syncing my powers as Ed typed on his keyboard.
“I’ll be done once we get to the hippogriff kingdom and then I’ll work on you Sari,” Ed said with a smile.
“Thanks, Ed, guess I'm gonna have to get use to having magic then,” Sari said with a smile,
“And I'll contact Ratchet to him to smack Hound upside the head if he shoots at us,” I was about to call Ratchet when I realized something, “Why do I have a hunger for fire, iron, and air?”
“I did give you three Dragon Slayer magics after all. The more your body is tuned to them the more the more that you’ll become aware of habits and necessities that come with them,” Ed explained. “Are there any other magics you want Sari to have while I’m at it?”
“Yes, telekinesis, Take Over Magic, and Water Magic like Juvia's,” I rubbed my ears, “You were right Ed, I have increased hearing thanks to Dragon Slayer Magic.”
“It shall be done then. I’ll give little Nyx some shield magic while I’m at it,” Ed said as he typed away on his Archive.
“We are a few miles off the kingdom. Should be there in 5.” Pyro called from the pilot’s seat. “Oh and tell hound if he shoots at me, i’m going to shove that helmet where the sun don’t shine.”
“Why don't you tell me yourself, dirtbag.” I heard Hound say,
“Careful hound or you can ride my ship from the outside,” he said his voice taking a dark tone.
“Ooooh, scary,”
“Ease up Hound,”
“Hound, just don’t scratch it ok, I got this ship from a now-dead friend. I don’t want to ruin it.” pyro said a sigh coming from his mouth. “We will be over you in a few seconds, be ready to warp up.”
“Is he always like that Prime?” Ed asked as Sari and Nyx’s faces popped up on his screen. “Beginning Sari’s and Nyx’s downloads now. I wonder if I could cook up a way to make you completely immune to the effects of Dark Energon by altering a series the maker magic?”
“Might be doable ed, Maybe ask ratchet. He is the only medic bot I would trust.” Said pyro from his seat.
“First things first. I need a large enough sample of the Dark Energon that I can breakdown with my alchemy and analyze so I can know its structure and composition,” Ed explained as he started to fine tune Sari’s magic.
“I’m fresh out, so don’t look at me.” Joked pyro. “But we might find some down the road, maybe if i drag it out of a megs chest with my bare hands,” he said hound now shutting up fully feeling the threat to him as well.
“That would actually be better. Megs is linked to it and if I dissertation how specific hid body did it I could make a vaccine for the whole army so that they would be affected even after they die. Didn’t Starscream expose himself to that stuff too?” Ed asked looking to me.
“If I recall right, I think he did, you thinking take both down? Two birds, one stone kind of deal?”
“Two bot with the same ability is rare enough but with it being Dark Energon it gives Unicron two vessel to inhabit. So yes, we need to take them both down first. I’ll also need samples of Starscream just in case his immunity is different from Megatron’s.”
“Well let's get up there to my fleet and then head out. We still got a queen’s head to put on a pike or mount on a wall.” pyro said bringing the ship up to begin breaking orbit.
“Now where to Prime?” Ed asked.
“I think the ark for him and we are heading for my lead class ship then taking off for the battle zone,” Pyro said. “We will see my fleet in a few.”
“OH, MY TRUTH!” Ed yelled.
“It’s what happens when you go to war with me, I bring the firepower to win,” he said looking to his fleet of 600 strong. His main battle ships and leader sat out in front ready and waiting for her captain. “We will leave 100 here to help safeguard the planet. Should be enough to win this very short war,” he said laughing.
“Urm. Sorry for losing my cool guys. Do you think we could find either Prime Megs or Chickenscream before the war Pyro?” Ed asked after recomposed himself. “I want to give Prime as much of an edge in this war as possible. Dark Energon can be a real problem not just for him but for all Autobots and machines in this fight.”
“It's alright, these are just my battleships, I could call in my aircraft carriers for more spaceships. Or one of my dreadnought’s instead. But I think we could find them, or make them come to us. Could send out my fighters to help drag them out of hiding. Now then hound, still want to give me lip?” he said turning around looking at ed then looking at Hound. Said bot was now shaking a little.
“I think he’s either gonna cry from sheer joy or wet his pants from pure fear,” Ed laughed pointing at the fat transformer. “But yea, whatever works best to draw them out. Why not appeal to Megatron's sense of honor? This one has one right?”
“Why not both?” laughed pyro. Turning back in his seat. “Let’s head to the ark. Then after dropping everyone off, we will dock in my ship, then take off for the Allspark. And that could work Ed or his pride.” He said rolling his neck a pop sounding out.
“Got a holoreacorder on this rig?” Ed asked. “For more reason than getting the funny stuff.”
“Church, you rolling?”
“You bet your darn butt I am, This is pure gold, could be used for blackmail or some funny moments,” he said popping up next to pyro. “Nice to talk to you ed, but mind coming down here, I can’t walk around the ship. Not unless the big guy gets up.”
“Coming,” Ed said leaving to meet up with Pyro. “So what’s the plan?”
“Well like I said after we do that, we head off to the Allspark. Church here will take the fighters for the dog fighting of their’s, if there are any, we man a few of the cannons, sink her ship, rip her head off, mount it, then head home, Simple. The whole trip there we can do what we talked about, and train a little, I can set the time chamber to 5 min out here 1 year in there, Help save time.”
“She’s going to be a lot more cautious after her little-failed attempt to take over Prime. Especially after sending so much killing intent just over a simple telepathic link. Why don’t we screw with her a little more Pyro?” smirked Ed.
“That’s true ed, but pride tends to screw with you if you let it. And I think she is bold enough to try, and that I can agree with, what should we say?” he said his grin growing as they dock onto the ark.
“Though. keep in mind Pyro that this is Prime’s which means he has to be the one to deal the killing blow to Quintessa,” Ed said says hold his chin with his new right hand. “We’ll be the ones to deal with Unicron's vessels. And we need that vaccine to inoculate the troops before this battle. I also think I may have thought of a way of drawing ole Megs and Screamer out of hiding too.”
“Let’s hear it ed, Prime here is your ship.”
“We need to make the vaccine before the war. We draw Megs out with the one thing he absolutely can’t rest on the whole universe. Optimus Prime, or at least his Optimus. I can use me Envy Skille to mimic TP Optimus Prime and call him out. Starscream being Starscream will follow his master and try to either undermined him or run away,” Ed explained. “If we can swing it we can destroy them in the process.”
“Sounds like it would work on getting Meg out in the open too. Could use my space suits to head out and fight him ed. I don’t mind you using one of them.” pyro said holding his hand to his chin in thought. “Though I wouldn’t mind playing some mind games on a meg for a bit. We could swing TFP meg to our side if we play our cards right. I mean could point out the queen's plan is full of holes.”
“Mind games are going to be needed to get him in the open, especially with Starscream at is back whispering in his ear. I rather not have any megs on our side. I watched a lot of the originals when they were Japanese shows and they never work out,” Ed says crossing his arms again. “It’s up to you Prime. Let’s go out in the hall or where you want to talk.”
“TFP Megs is basically reformed in the movie Predacons Rising after Unicron was sealed, but Ed I need to talk to you alone,”
“Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Prime, think we could get him to fight with us? And which megs you think we are going to meet this time?” he asked.
“Maybe, it might be possible. I think we might, guuugh!” a bright flash suddenly appeared, when it died down, the princesses, main 6 and the Alicorns of Harmony were standing in the center,
“Oh great, now we got civies up here too. Anything else want to make this fight even more fun.” pyro said sighing.
“Hi Magic Gleam, care to explain, also Ed, Pyro, these are the Alicorns of Harmony, also known as the Elements of Harmony,”
“Nice to meet you lot, just make sure not to touch anything, and I mean you Twilight.”
“Hello, ” Ed says with a smile. “Alicorns, that are the true Embodiments of the Elements of Harmony. Prime you’ve been hiding some heavy hitters. Anyway, what is it you wanted to talk about with me.”
“Hi, names Giggles, Alicorn of Laughter!”
“Wind Blades Alicorn of Loyalty,” he said with a salute,
“Earth Hammer, Alicorn of Honesty, and Wind Blades brother,”
“Grass Breeze, Ocean Breeze,s twin sister, and Alicorn of Generosity,”
“Ocean Breeze, Alicorn of Kindness,”
“Magic Gleam, Alicorn of Magic,”
“I have, also spoilers, they’re Primus’s kids, and just something, follow me,” me and Ed walked away from the crowd. Pyro said something to them and they went over to the window.
“Interesting to say the least but not surprising given the multiverse we live in. So, what’s up, big guy?” Ed asked.
“Remember when I talked to the Merchant, how I asked for some items?”
“Yea, he send ya something good?” Ed said raising an eyebrow.
“Yes, but you may not like, ever heard of Ready Player One, movie or book?”
“Sure I recently got an update from Truth, he’s my personal void dweller. Don’t ask please the Truth so a total plot hole,” Ed snorted.
“Ever heard of the Catalyst?” I asked sadness in my voice.
“I’ve heard of it but need a refresher. What’s it about again?” Ed waved.
“Well, it can wipe out every avatar on a planet, no a sector, even the user, and the reason why I’m telling you this is because Pyro will take it and destroy it, Ed I had the Merchant give me the Catalyst, but made to only destroy everything on a planet,”
“Hra, I understand wanting to take out your enemies Prime and I’m not going to take it from you because it’s your choice. But only use it as an absolute last resort,” Ed said with a serious face. “And a serious last is Unicron, not Quintessa. You have me and Pyro here and we got your back big man.”
“It’s only a last resort, if I cannot defeat Quintessa, the will, but I need to stay behind to activate it, so I need you to get everyone away from whatever ship Quintessa has, get as far away as you can, but I know you two got my back, but if all else fails, I will detonate the Catalyst, and destroy Quintessa for good.”
“You both do know there are eyes and ears on this ship right.” said dark pyro looking at them both. Both jumping from the voice.
“I knew there was hiding anything from the master Pyro,” Ed snickered.
“Scrap, sorry you had to hear that Pyro,” glaring at Ed
“Don’t worry about it prime, your not the only one who has fail-safes in place. Or world-ending plans and tools. He said its fine but he warns you to think of your lover for a second.”
“I can’t believe he still hasn’t gotten it through his processors that we all have some form of last resort thing. Sorry Prime I was gonna say something when you were done explaining,” Ed laughed of the glares.
“I know, that is why it makes harder to think of the Catalyst, but you know Quintessa is strong,”
“Could put it on a missile and write a message on it for her. I’m thinking to enjoy oblivion.”
“Can’t, the Merchant couldn’t make automatic, only manual,”
“Darn, well we both will keep it from coming to that, but if it does, then I should take it for the team. I’m the oldest.”
“No, I can’t let you Pyro, I asked the Merchant for this doomsday weapon,”
“Why not give it to the guy that can regenerate?” Ed pointed out.
“Or give it to a clone!” dark said jumping a little over the thought.
“Because only I can use it, I had the Merchant make it where if it scans my energy it can be used,”
“Freaking merchant used a void link. God, he’s a jerk,” Ed says slamming his fist into the wall behind him causing a fairly large crater.
“Welp, there goes my plans for nuke weapons being used,” Dark said looking down. “And you're fixing that ed.”
“Sorry, and fixed,” Ed said placing his palm on the dint as he used his alchemy to reform the wall.
“But I will only use as a last resort, if we destroy Quintessa, then I will personally destroy this thing,”
“Alright. Best keep this between us. I mean pyro is up there keeping it loud enough to drown out what is being said.”
“Good, only between us,” then we walked back to the command center where Pyro is, unaware of a pair of blue optics watching us. “By the way Ed, how’s the programming coming along?”
“Sari and Nyx’s magic is all set and fine-tuned. I even included how to use the basic techniques on the magic,” Ed said with a smile.
“Good, we should train on the Ark, help us focus our magic, and possibly, get stronger, also I may need you and Pyro’s help building something, remember the Techno-organic chamber from TFA, with Blackarachnia?”
“How could I not. I used some of that tech back home in my automail shops in the bonding process when installing automail on my subjects,” Ed said with a smile.
“Well, I was thinking, Sari’s a techno-organic, and her human form can be vulnerable against Decepticon fire, if she becomes full Autobot, then she might be able to have a better chance against the cons, especially if we run into one of the Megs,”
“Not gonna do it, ” Ed says crossing his arms. “It’s exactly why Pyro isn’t a Timelord. I can’t alter her into a totally new form without completely changing her mentality Prime. Not only that but it’s also unfair to her. What if she didn’t want to go through with it?”
I sigh, “I know, it’s just, I have every memory of the Optimus’s, and they’re Megatrons are dangerous, WFC Optimus had his jaw ripped out, TLK Optimus got pinned by Megatron with only one arm,”
“Do not lecture me on War Prime,” Ed said annoyed. “I have lived bloody battles and I bet Pyro has seen worse than me. I’ve lived to never allow my wife and sister to dirty their hands with blood.”
“Sorry Ed, I just don’t want to see her die,“
“That must of hurt prime, losing an arm.” dark pyro said looking over to them. “And I have Ed, one day if you two get me alone and enough drinks, I will tell of some of them, but they get dark and bloody fast.”
“Actually, it was the Megatron who lost an arm, but I did lose a arm when the ponies thought I was evil, but I get your point, you and Pyro have been in wars where people die,”
“I can do something else for you both and give you alchemy. It might help in certain events. Hold still and prepare for one heck of a hangover,” Ed says putting his hand on my chest and I feel some kind of door open in it then a flood of knowledge poured into my head.
“Thanks, Ed,” feeling slightly dizzy,
“Wars cost lives, and life is always lost, it is why war is called Tartarus sometimes. And war never changes. Only the paths that are taken to it,” he said looking down his dark form turning to a dark gray.
“Prime me and Pyro I gonna get started on a Dark Energon vaccine plan. You go to the Ark and get things started,” said Ed.
“If primus can find TFP meg would be helpful.”
“Actually, we may not need to look for him, BECAUSE HE’S FLYING RIGHT TOWARDS US!!!” I shouted seeing Tfp Megatron shooting at the ship,
“Oh scrap.” Pyro said
“It the flying chicken with him too?” Ed asked.
“PREPARE TO FALL TO THE MIGHTY STARSCREAM!!”
“Prime I’m going to teleport my ship into my holding bay then you into the ark. I’m not letting this ship get hurt,” he said getting ready to snap his fingers.
“The coward is mine,” Ed said. “I wanna test my new arm and leg? Here Optimus Use this vial to get a sample of his energon.”
“Got it Ed, but I gonna hold them off, maybe get Tfp Megs on our side, do you have a torpedo bay by the way Pyro?”
“Go for it prime and hold on ed, we need to get a suit for you, so you can breathe. And I don’t but change into TFP prime he has a jetpack right?”
“Yes, he does,”
“Don’t breath. I but don’t use them. Sentient life energy, remember,” Ed laughed.
“Ok get ready. Cause here we go,” he said snapping his fingers. Prime and ed finding themselves out in space. Pyros fleet beginning to move, his lead ship’s main guns swiveling around to help in the dog fight. Its side guns all aiming for Starscream.
“Changing into TFP Optimus now,” my form began to glow, before I changed into Beast hunters Optimus, activating my jetpack, I shot off towards Megatron, Ed following, Megatron transformed with his fist reared back back for a punch, I did the same, and our fists connected with each other's faces.
“Hello Loudmouth,” Ed smirked at Starscream.
“To all channels, this is Pyro, get ready. Main cannons will keep them from running.”
“Got it Py-GUGH!-” Megatron punched me in my stomach, I followed with another punch to his face,
“Got it-”confirmed Ed being blasted. “Don’t do that. It’s very annoying.”
“Fighters, light mechs and Gundams are heading out, ed, if you want one to use look for the one with a flame paint job. It should be the leader.”
“Got you but what’s the point of the new toys you gave me if I can’t get to test them out,” Ed says as his arm pops open as a chain blade whips out and wraps up Starscream. “You're really dumb for being caught so easy.”
“Use it should you need cover,” he said sounding tired. The sound of a can opening went over the mic. “Awe monster, never leave me.”
“Heavy hitters are heading for the battle. They are based off the gundams, made them for heavy firepower. Use them Ed if he starts getting brave. They might be a little slow in the speed department but that’s what the fighters are for.”
“Oh, I just might if he so much as flinches. Have one gather a few samples from him. I mean a lot from everything right down to his metal skin,” Ed said with a sadistic look in his eyes. “Very painfully gather them.”
“I’m heading out in mine to help prime. I hope he enjoys me breaking this one out,” he said as it blasts off from his ship. The Arcadia keeping both fights in its cannons sights. Two where facing primes fight while the other one was aimed at ed’s fight.
“No way, you have the original Gundam suit? That’s awesome! But they made a death between Optimus and that suit you know that right?” I said blasting Megatron with my minigun,
“I know they did, you guessed right on why I chose it.”
“You do realize Optimus won the fight,” another punch to Megatron’s gut,
“I Do. But now a vet it driving it instead. With better armor and weapons.” he said floating nearby watching the fight. Or beating of Megatron.
“Release me this instant human,” yelled Starscream. “Or you’ll suffer!”
“Loudmouth as usual. Don’t you agree Prime?” snickered Ed. “Mind if I rip him apart?”
“Yep. Still all scream and no bite, hence the name StarSCREAM! Go ahead, never liked this version of Starscream.” shot a missile at Megs.
Within a minute Ed had Starscream floating in the vacuum of space in pieces. He seemed to place his spark in an extractor jar from Beast Machines and placed it on his belt. He came over to Prime and Pyro with Starscreams head in his hand.
“Megatron, stop! Quintessa is using you to get what she wants, if she gets the Allspark, she will get rid of you!”
“You should listen to them Megatron. You at least have a sense of honor of what it means to be a smart warrior,” Ed said with an emotionless stare.
“He speaks the truth Megatron. I’ve seen people like her before. They get what they want, then kill you, then leave.”
“Uurggh, I can’t,” that’s when I noticed the red mark on his face, “That, witch, has me under her control, so I must follow her orders!”
“Prime, there must be a way to wipe that off of him.”
“Well remember the fight scene between Bumblebee and Optimus from The Last Knight?”
“It was his voice that got him to stop right?”
“Yes, if we can get him to see or listen to something that he misses, it might free him,”
“Soundwave, he is the only one he would care to listen from or too.”
“Soundwave is dead! THAT WITCH MADE ME KILL MY OWN BROTHER!!” Megatron shouted trying to slice me with his blade,
“I can use my telepathy magic on him but I’m not giving him a Mind Stone. Hear this is yours,” Ed says tossing Starscream’s head at Megatron.
“His parts Megatron, where they lost or destroyed.”
“Lost.”
“Then it is time for them to be found once more. I mean after all he was always loyal to you, even when you were thought to be dead.”
“ED, PYRO KEEP HIM BUSY, I’m going to bring Soundwave back,”
“Np”
“On it prime.”
I snapped my fingers using my Chaos magic, and Soundwave or what’s left of him appeared, his chest looked like a insecticon tore into it, his left side a skeleton, and his face has a deep cut,
“On my main ship should be a repair station that should help you Prime,” Pyro said interlocking hands with meg in a full out power struggle.
“SCRAP!! That’s messed up!”
“Looks like you need some materials,” Ed says “Everything is back on the ship with Pyro’s equipment. Here take Starscream's Spark we can use alchemy to open the Portal and exchange his for Soundwave’s,” Ed said joining me.
“GET HIM TO MY SHIP, Prime! ED you go with him.” He said slamming his head into megs sending the bot back, his head ringing from the blow.
“ON IT!!” I grabbed Soundwave and Starscream’s spark and flew to Pyro’s ship, Ed following, we managed to get to the repair bay, and began fixing his wounds, ”Ed you try to get Soundwaves Spark, I’ll fix him up!”
“Right away, brother,” Ed said as a giant set of marble gates appeared in front of Ed. “See ya in a bit,” Ed says plunging into the Gate.
“Guys pyro here, I’m going to keep Meg busy, might last a few more minutes though he hit a weak point on this and i’m using juice.”
“Just hold him off a little longer, I’m using the Matrix to heal him, his chest and left side are healed, his face is almost done!”
“On it. Darn it, that was my shield, you overgrown tin can.” They heard the swears coming from the now angered Pyro. Best not say them again, since I think it was in the dragon tongue.
“ED!! WHERE IS HIS SPARK?!?!?” I shouted to the portal,
“Calm down big guy right in front of you,” Ed says standing in front of me. “Truth was more than willing to exchange to the sparks. Here be careful he might jolt.”
“Thanks, Ed and tell Truth I said thanks,” I placed Soundwaves Spark into his Spark chamber.
A loud bang echoed out as Meg and Pyro slid into the bay, pyro holding meg in a headlock, feet wrapped around his chest keeping his hands locked in place. Sliding on his back till they stopped. “Hey guys, welcome to the bay, i’m dead in the water now,” he said before climbing out and standing on megs chest.
Then a bright flash from Soundwave appeared, “Megatron look, Soundwave is alive,” Megatron stopped fighting, and looked to Soundwave, who was standing there watching the fight,
“S-Soundwave?” then Soundwave spoke which is a first,
“Starscream for Soundwave Megatron. Better listen to these guys because we won’t be able to do this again,” Ed scoffed. “I had to see Truth again. The guy is a major pain in the rear.”
“Hello brother,” I saw the mark on Megatron disappear, “Glad to see you’re no longer under Quintessa’s control,”
“We did it guys,” I said, watching the two brothers get back together
“Now my suit needs work.” Said Pyro snapping his fingers and sending it away.
“I can get samples from your suit so hold off a bit on repairs Pyro,” Ed said walking over to collect what he needs for a vaccine. “Won't take five minutes.”
“Ok Ed,” he said tapping his foot.
“All done man,” Ed said sending his vials to his away with Re-equip. “I’ll begin analyzing the samples with Archive and I’ll send the data to Ratchet as soon as I'm done.”
“Thank you all for bringing my brother back, I am in your debt,” Megatron said, Soundwave nodding, I changed back to my original form, “And if you need help destroying that witch, I’ll gladly give you information, on her army, weapons, defenses, everything.”
“How many ships does she have?” asked pyro.
“She has no ship but Cybertron itself,” Soundwave said in a grim tone,
“Welp, guess I need to call in my dreadnoughts.”
“Maybe not Pyro. Maybe we could sneak in and try and wake up Primus,” Ed pondered. “While Quintessa is being distracted.”
“There is no way to sneak into the core of Cybertron, she has combiners and G1 Trypticon watching over it, she also deactivated Primus, putting him in a stasis lock.”
“Could teleport in.” Pyro said “Grab Trypticon and teleport out. Then you guys work on the core.”
“OPTIMUS PRIME! I Trypticon from the War for Cybertron Universe have come to your aid!” we heard Trypticon shout, causing everyone to cover their ears,
“Ok need to get new ears now,” Pyro said blood coming from them. He rubbed one then looked back at them.
“Already done for me. Now we have three Decepticons on our side and one is a mobile fortress, literally,” commented Ed putting a finger in his ear turning it while doing so.
“Ouch, didn’t expect him here so soon, I forgot to mention I called Trypticon and Omega to come to our location,”
“Warn me next time I was going to order everything to fire at him,” he said still rubbing an ear.
“Sorry just forgot,”
“Just got word from Rachet. He has started to synthesize a vaccine and the whole army will be immune to the effects of Dark Energon before the war starts,” Ed says with a smile confusing Megatron and Soundwave.
“That’s good.”
“Good, now we can discuss a battle plan to keep Quintessa’s focus off the core, I have an idea, I play Star Wars BattleFront 2, always a fan of space battles,”
“Why you think I have the blueprints to how a lightsaber works prime?”
“He helped build one for me,” Ed says as his saber pops out of his arm.
“Good Pyro, well I would always get a gunship, fly into the enemy ship, and units would spawn in the ship, so I was thinking, we have gunships land on the surface of Cybertron, have fast fliers distract their fliers and defenses, bombers to blow up said defenses, then we and a few troops will go to the core”
“Well, my ship is made from ramming. And that is a good play prime. I will go call in my others, we will need a dreadnought now for the dropships.”
“I know, works every time, always win.”
“Pyro could I use the Rinnegan and my Ultimate Eye in tandem to see through the Stasis lock?” Ed asked.
“Maybe, I don’t know. It could but I don’t know for sure,” he said tapping his chin.
“Stasis lock is like being shut down, like a coma, and will go away if the bot is healed or something.”
“Hmmm. It could work if I channel my regeneration in an Alchestry charged wave,” Ed said. “Things is we need a huge tectonic amplifier in order to channel all over the planet.”
“Yes that could work, also sorry if I was listening to your conversation,” we heard Wheeljack says over the comms, “I also know a good amplifier, and I wasn’t the only one listening, everyone except the ponies heard,”
“WHEELJACK!!” we heard everyone shout, followed by a clang, and a shout of pain,
“Sorry James, but the comms have been activated, and everyone couldn’t help themselves,” Sari said
“Sorry for that, guys forgot to change that.” pyro said.
“Aren’t they always active?” asked Ed shaking his head.
“No, not Cybertronian comms, we can deactivate them whenever,”
“Oh.” pyro said looking at me
“Alright, we all know the battle plan?” I asked,
“You and Pyro distract the witch while me and a team make our way into Cybertron’s core to activate a planet-scale regeneration, reformating, and reboot to wake up the big boss,” Ed says giving a thumbs up.
“Alright, take Miko with you, she is a human with a Apex Armor, making her indestructible, and unstoppable, and take the Dinobots, they can combine to form Volcanicus, and they’re bigger than a normal combiner when combined, Hound, Megatron, Soundwave, the Bumblebee's from TFA, TFP, TLK, and G1, and take Trypticon.”
“Maybe we scare her while at it, aye prime.”
“Yeah sure, good idea.”
“Then let’s get moving we are just sitting here, time to move and make some noise,” he said punching his fist into his open hand.
“Let's not forget our year-long training either,” laughed Ed. “Still have stuff we need to get done before the battle brothers.”
“Right, I really want to test out this Dragon Slayer Magic, been a fan of it for a long time.”
“Oh yeah can’t forget that. Ed.”
“Hey, we’re arriving at the Ark, better get up here boys,” Sari said,
“Dang, forgot they were this fast. Guess we could do it later ed.”
“Don’t you have like a pocket version we could use. I’d prefer Prime to have some type of a handle on those slayer magics” Ed said with concern.
“Yes I do, here,” he said handing the key to the gate. “I will set it for one year in there one second out here. Should help on the time thing.”
“God I need one of those things,” Ed said jealousy.
“Gotta love that Time Chamber, makes training much easier, gone for one second, to us it will be a year, maybe we might obtain new forms as well,” I said, holding my chin in thought.
“True. I wonder if we could get something made to help in the fight.”
“Alright, let’s load in the Ark, I’ll have to Vehibots transfer the stuff from the Basement into it’s holding bay, hey remember the Spiderbot from the Crystal Empire?”
“Good thing I set up a teleport gate Rune in your basement Prime. Did it here to Pyro. It will make bringing the army on to the ships much easier,” Ed says pointing to the Runes on the floor.
“Those will help. But I bet me and prime doing help will work too.” Pyro said looking to ed holding up his right hand, fingers ready to snap, his eyebrow raised.
“What are you talking about old man?” asked Ed in confusion.
“Snap.” He said snapping and over the coms came a “Holy scrap what is that. How that get on board?!”
“Easy Wheeljack, that is my pet project,” I said. “It will be useful in the fight. So don’t poke it, nor hurt it.”
“Now I think we should head for the room of space and time.” pyro said turning and heading to the halls. “We might be fast, but it still will take a few hours till we get there, hyperspace engines take you up to that speed but it still takes time.”
“Plenty of time to get some training in don’t you think,” added Ed.
“Yeah, plenty. Though I need to work on that teleport idea I had a few years ago. How did I forget it, now I think about it I should write it down.” he said before lifting out his old journal its cover was aged and weathered. Its leather faded and shrunken. He started writing in it using the pencil that was closed in it.
“A teleportation idea you say,” Ed says stroking his chin. “What parts of the equations are you missing my friend? Before I got Fairy Tail magic I used a Rune teleporter based off Equestrian design using a combination of alchemy and magic of what I call alchemagic .”
“Nothing just writing it down to remember next time I open this,” he said shaking it a few times. “It's like every few months I open it and remember to build something I put down. I was going to build the engineer's teleporters. From team fortress 2, but I forgot about it.” he said putting the journal away once more.
“Must be difficult to work on projects and then suddenly forget and pick them up again after months. Is there something else on your mind my friend?” Ed asked in concern.
“It can be but you get used to it,” he replied. There walk to the room slowing during the talk. “Just a few thoughts, just memories popping up, some over my old and forgotten projects. Others over the wars. Somethings never leave you be.” he said looking down. “But it’s my thoughts to deal with.”
“If you say so. If you ever want to talk I’m here for you my friend. You’ve done a lot for me in just a day we’ve met each other. I’m proud to call you my brother and my master, amongst other things,” Ed said holding out his fist to Pyro.
“Same here Pyro,”
“Thank you both but like I said back before the fight,” he said looking at me, Megatron and Soundwave who were looking to him. “You need to get a peaceful room for me to talk of the horrors I’ve seen and done,” he said moving his left arm to tap off Ed’s. Megatron seemed to raise his eyebrows at his statement.
“We can get drinks after a few training sessions.” Ed laughed as he looked at Megatron. “That means you guys too.”
“Just be ready for the scrap that will be coming out of my head. There are 60 years of active war up here and 5 behind a desk with a stupid 4 stars on my shoulders,” he said almost spitting when he said four stars. “Then count the wars sprinkled out over the rest of my life most being short and nothing like what I did in the first 60. I’m thankful they are short but i also wish they never happened. Then there is the other little stuff hidden here and there.” he said rubbing his face. “I’m one big mess.”
“Yikes, that’s a lot of wars, and we Cybertronians don’t drink human stuff, only Energon,” I said to my crazy brothers as me, Ed, Sari, and Nyx prepared to go in the Time Chamber.
