Far across the universe, buried deep within a lost asteroid, an evil force was plotting a return.

"Forgive us, one true Decepticon. The stones have been destroyed."

Shatter and Dropkick returned from a scouting mission, they had witness the defeat of Mysterio and the destruction of the Infinity stones. The two Decepticons bowed to the one sitting on the throne, this titan was bigger than them, he had to be the size of Grimlock. 

"You have much to learn, my children." the one on the throne explained. "The stones were merely a vessel. The mystical energy, the knowledge of the universe, can never be destroyed. It can only transform."

Dropkick raised his head to his master, "The infinity stones can do that?"

"They can, and they have. The energy of each stone has been absorbed by a new relic, they are now scattered across the universe."

Shatter stood up and said, "Then the plan can continue. We must find the relics."

The one true Decepticon stood up from his seat, "Patience my warrior. We must not draw attention to ourselves, yet.

Their master made his way past them, the two Decepticons followed their leader into a another room. 


Within this other room, the walls were covered in glowing blue pods, each one was filled with a strange blue liquid and a mechanical creature. The three Decepticons were greeted by a new figure, one who was watching over the pods.

"Fallen, what news of the hatchlings?" the master asked. "I need my army ready for when we attack our first target."

The Fallen turned to his master and replied, "Mighty Megatronus. We need fresh energon."

On the table in front of The Fallen, was one of the pods. The Decepticon simply tapped the blue crystal shell, and it cracked open. The energon began to leak onto the floor, the creature inside slipped through the crack as well. The hatchling fell to the ground, it freaked out a little, before dying on the spot.

"Unless we find new energon, my lord. The hatchlings, will keep dying."

================================================

Orbiting the planet Cybertron, were the planet's two moons. One the first moon, was the Autobot forge, the most power weapons were made there. This one station was manned by only three Autobots, Ironhide, Hound & Wheeljack. They were Cybertron's best forgers, able to turn any scrap metal into weapons and armour for the Autobot Resistance.

"Ironhide, grab that cable." Wheeljack yelled to his team member. 

The two of them were trying to get the forge working again, they heard about Megatron's surrender and the ending of the war. However, they were still trying to build weapons, just in case it was a trap.

Ironhide grabbed the fusion cable that was hanging from above, he pulled it into the power grid. "I got it, try it now Hound." 

Whilst Wheeljack and Ironhide was plugging and unplugging cable and circuits, Hound was at the control console, trying to get the power back online. The Autobots had no idea that a threat was flying straight for them, and the moon they were on.


Heading straight for the forge, a Decepticon warship was being flown towards the Autobot base, the ship launched dropships to descend on the forge.

Hound looked up from his console and saw the invasion coming, he yelled to his team, "Autobots! Decepticons are coming. Arm yourselves." he cries as he activates his X18 Scrapmaker. 

Ironhide and Wheeljack see what he means when they look to the sky, Ironhide activates the canons that were on his wrists & Wheeljack grabs his Path Blaster.

The dropships soon land outside the entrance to the forge, from these ships, Megatronus, Shatter, Dropkick & another Decepticon led what army they had to attack. Shatter transformed into her jet mode and flew to the sky, she launched her heat-seekers and they flew towards the fuel tanks; they exploded upon impact. 

Some Vehicon Troopers tried to storm the front door, Hound armed a gun turret on top of the gate, he began firing at the enemy. Many Decepticons were killed in this small battle, Megatronus began to approach the big, metal door.

He turned to this new Decepticon and ordered, "Demolisher, create an entrance."

The Decepticon brute activated his Thermo Rocket Launcher, blowing a hole in the door. The Vehicons swarmed the forge and captured the Autobots.

===============================================

Ironhide, Hound & Wheeljack were brought before Megatronus, Shatter had landed in front of her master and approached one of the captured Autobots.

"Hound, good to see you again."

"Hello Shatter, how longs it been? Three, four hundred years?" 

Shatter turned away from the prisoners and Megatronus marched closer, he was mainly talking to Ironhide.

"I have a proposal for you. I need a device cable of holding the power of the stones." The titan's sharp finger pressed had against the side of Ironhide's head. "Make me the device, and your fellow Autobots will live." 

The Autobot didn't know what to do, he hated dealing with Decepticons. But his friends lives were on the line, so he nodded in agreement.

Megatronus was pleased, but he needed to be shore, "Dropkick, kill one. Show him we are serious." he ordered.

Ironhide cried, "No! Stop! I'll make the device, just don't!"

Dropkick pointed the Corrosive Slime Canon at Wheeljack, the Autobot did not fight to escape, he sat there and excepted his fate. "Til' all are one." he muttered.

The Decepticon fired, blasting his body with the burning acid. Wheeljack fell to the floor, energon leaking from his mouth, he looked at his finger as the began to rust and melt away. Ironhide and Hound couldn't bare to watch their friend melt away like scrap metal.

When the deed was done, Wheeljack was gone. Dropkick moved back towards his superiors and allowed his master to continue speaking.

"Now." Megatronus started. "My device?"

The Vehicons let Ironhide go, he wasn't going to attack; he'd be risking his life, and Hound's. So he marched to the work tables and began constructing the device that could harness the power of the stones.

The Decepticon titan chuckled a little, his plan was coming together perfectly.
