Issue #1: The Allspark [Prologue]
War ravaged on the surface Cybetron, the Decepticon’s never giving up on their assault against the Autobots. But even when hundreds of Autobots fall against the might of Megarton, they never gave up on their fight for freedom. But soon all their hopes of freedom were lost when the Decepticons attacked Iacon, the Autobot capital of Cybertron. No one understood why Megatron attacked Iacon with such force. But Only Megatron knew why. To gain this new fabled power that the Autobots say ‘Might win the war’. The Allspark.Megatron knew that this power might make them loose. And that’s the exact reason why he wanted it. Fight fire… with fire. The Decepticon’s blew through the defences of iacon, hundreds of Autobots dying in the crossfire. They stormed into the Autobot vault, its metal walls shinning in the light as Megatron walked in. His eyes furrowed as he looked around the empty vault. He stormed out of the empty room, grabbing an injured Autobot lying on the ground, barely hanging onto life. Its legs were torn off, wires and sparks draggong onto the metal floor, a blue energon pool around him. His arm was severed off, only his elbow could be seen under all the shrapnel and metal that fell out of the hole. He smiled softly, spitting enegon onto the Decepticon leader’s face. Megatron grabbed him by the neck, pulling him up to his face.
“I’ll never tell you where they went Megatron!’ The Autobot spat out, smiling softly. Megatron smiled, his rows of teeth shining in the Autobots blue eyes.
“So you do know where it is…” He hissed. “And I thought I could just kill you for my own pleasure…” The Autobots eyes widened. He looked away from the leaders glare, ignoring his red eyes burning into his optics.
“The Allspark is but a myth Megatron.” The autobot laughed. “You actually believe in such lies?” Megatron laughed, his voice booming off the walls of the vault.
“You’re a terrible liar…” Megatron laughed. He jabbed his hand into the Autobots gut, ripping out wires. Energon spilled onto the ground, the pool of energon getting larger. Megatron dropped the bot on the ground, shaking the blue energon off of his hands. “Find the pathetic Autobite that took my Allspark! And extinguish his spark…” Drones nodded as they all transformed, splitting up to different directions. Two blue eyes looked out from the shadows. It watched as jets flew out of Iacon, flying around the city. The bot transformed, driving down the alleys of Iacon.

A red cybertronian sports car drove at high speed around Iacon. It drove up a ramp, onto the highway. Two Decepticons blocked the way, wasting their ammo by shooting at a dead corpse. The red sports car transformed, jumping in the ir. The two drones barely could respond as the red Autobot sliced their heads off with a hidden blade. It transformed back into a car as it drove away. Three jets flew up high, watching the red car drive at high speeds, driving around dead bodies.
“Megatron, I think we found the Autobot who stole the Allspark.” The lead jet, a red and white cybetronian jet, spoke.
“You think or you know Starscream?” Megatron asked on the comm. “Never mind… Follow the Autobot but don’t engage.. It might lead us to where the others are hiding.” Starscream groaned.
“Yes Lord Megatron…” Starscream sighed. The two other jets went to say something but Megatron wasn’t finished.
“Don’t fail me Starscream...” Megatron growled. “Or don’t even bother coming back.” The comms went silent as Megatron ended the call. The black jet chuckled, doing a barrel roll over Starscream. Its purple highlights shined in the light, making it look like its purple.
“Hear that Thundercracker!” the black one chuckled, flying next to Starscream and a teal fighter jet. “If old ‘screamer fails. He can’t get to be Megatron’s play mate!” They both laughed softly, Starscreams’ growling getting louder.
“Shut up Skywarp!” Starscream shot back. Skywarp continued to laugh, ignoring their leaders rage. Thundercracker groaned, trying not to laugh. “I said SHUT UP!” Starscreams voice echoed twice around the building of Iacon. The red car turned around, transforming as it skidded on the surface of the metal highway. It pulled out a blaster, firing at the three jets in the sky. Skywarp and Thundercracker dodged the bullets flying at then, pelting the ground with their own bullets. The red Autobot shielded his face, firing blindly at the jets before jumping off the bridge and to the surface of Iacon.
“All Decepticons on my position!” Starscream commanded. “Kill the Autobite!”
- - -
The red autobot hit the ground hard, denting the surface. It held his shoulder, a small dent scratching the paint. He paused as the ground started to shake. A tank crashed through a building, its barrel pointed right at the Autobot. He jumped up, dodging the blast of the tank. He jumped on top of the tank and transformed, driving past the tank. The tank turned around and fired, a giant blazing bullet whizzing past the red sports car. It exploded the bottom of a building, the sound of crunching metal as it started to loose balance. The sports car drove up a ramp, breaking through the windows of the building as it fell. It drove out the back and into a large Autobot ship. A tall white Autobot smiled as it helped up the small red Autobot.
“You got the package?” the robot asked. The red bot nodded, reaching behind him to show the bot a small cube made of metal. Small highlights glowed in a soft blue.
“Safe and sound Jetfire..” The red bot smiled. “Prime say where we’re gonna hide this thing?” Jetfire took the Allspark, placing it in a large suitcase.
“He said somewhere far from Cybertron…” Jetfire mumbled. He looked outside the ships window, looking away at the total destruction of Iacon. “And I think that’s the best plan of action Cliffjumper..”
“As long as it’s not earth I’m good!” The pilot laughed. His red paint shined in the light of Cybertron’s sun. The Co-pilot, a yellow bot with black highlights, punched his shoulder lightly.
“Yeah… I think the humans are still mad about the whole ‘fighting an intergalactic war on a different planet’ thing.” Cliffjumper chuckled. Cybertron started to fade from the windows as they were surrounded by blackness. Lights flickered on in the ships haul.
“We destroyed Manhattan!” the pilot laughed, looked away from the window and at Cliffjumper. “I would be mad too!”
“Watch the road Sideswipe!’ the yellow one groaned. “I mean… Watch the… sky?” Sideswipe looked at Jetfire, scratching his chin.
“You can fly right?” Sideswipe asked. Jetfire raised an eyebrow, glancing at the Sideswipe. He narrowed his eyes at him.
“No… I can’t fly..” Jetfire said sarcastically. Sideswipe groaned and started looking around the haul of the ship. He got up off his chair and started wondering around.
“Does anyone know how to fly here?” He called out. “Because it’s really helpful if we had air support.” Jetfire growled and barber slapped him. He grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up to his face.
“I CAN FLY!” Jetfire exclaimed. Sideswipe blinked. A small grin crept onto his face.
“Jetty you should really not lie!” Sideswipe nagged. “Didn’t Prime tell you that lying is bad nag nag nag.”
“BUT I CAN FLY YOU IDIOT!” Jetfire shot back. Cliffjumper and Sunstreaker laughed, the two’s argument going on and on. The paused as Jetfire stormed over to the haul doors, opening them slowly. Everyone became shocked as they opened completely.
“Fine!” Jetfire yelled at Sideswipe. “I’ll show you who can fly!” He turned around to have A blaster pointed right at his chest. Starscream grinned smugly. Jetfire blinked as starscream shot him, his body flying backwards and into the pilot controls.
“Whoops..” Starscream smiled. “Itchy finger…” Sideswipe and Sunstreaker pulled out dual blaster pistols, opening fire on the Decepticons. Skywarp disappeared before reappearing behind Sunstreaker. He took out an axe and impaled him through the chest, sparks and energon spraying into the zero gravity space. He smiled at Sideswipe as he pulled up the axe, slicing the robot in half. Sideswipe narrowed his eyes and tackled the bot down , pulling out a knife and stabbing him in the chest. He went to stab him again but gasped as the ship was heading straight for a moon. He jumped off Skywarp and onto the controls, turning the wheel to a hard left. Everyone shifted to the side, falling onto the left wall of the ship. Cliffjumper grinned as he pressed a button on the side of the ship. A large door swung open to reveal a giant chain gun.
“I’m gonna turn you into scrape Starscream!" Chiffjumper yelled, grabbing the chain gun. “FOR BUMBLEBEE!” the gun revved up before shooting a spray of bullets at starscream. He flew outside and at the engines of the ship. Cliffjumper climbed outside, holding onto the walls as he opened fire again, bullets barley passing Starscream and hitting the engine. Cliffjumper gasped as the whole engine exploded into fire, sending Cliffjumper and Starscream into space.

“It’s a beautiful night..” Said the iconic purple mare, looking up at the sparkling stars in the sky. She smiled as a cold breeze blew through her mane. A small brown saddle bag rested around her neck. She layed of the soft grass of the Everfree Forest, the wind carrying leaves as it blew. Her horn glowed softly as the flap around her back opened. She took out a small telescope, assembling it with her magic and standing it up on its legs. A soft yawn made Twilight jump. She turned to see her purple dragon assistant laying on the grass, curled up in a ball. She totally forgot about him. She did drag him all the way over here to show him the correlations in the sky. Or as he called them ‘Connect dots in sky= Picture in sky’. She smiled as she looked through the telescope and at the night sky, a pen and paper right next to her.
“Celestia wants me to find all the correlations in the sky.” She mumbled to herself. She looked away from the telescope and groaned. “Why didn’t she just ask Luna to do that…” she looked back through the telescope, finding the big dipper and checking it off on her notepad. She raised an eyebrow when a small orange light passed by the sight of the telescope.
“What in Celestia’s name was that?” Twilight mumbled to herself. She zoomed out a bit to see the fireball whizzing in the sky. “A meteorite? What the…” She backed away from the telescope to see it with her own eyes. But she blinked in horror as she noticed that the meteor she saw was getting bigger and bigger…

Cliffjumper gripped on the side of the ship, letting go of the machine gun to hold on with both hands. He gasped as he saw Sideswipe tackle Skywarp out of the ship and into space. Skywarp kicked him into the moon’s surface, dust flying into the air. He transformed and jetted to the moon, more dust flying into the moon’s air. Starscream flew behind Cliffjumper, trying to grab his leg. Cliffjumper kicked him in the face, scratching off some paint. Starscream growls in anger.
“You’ll pay for that!” Starscream roared. He lunged at Cliffjumper, his claws barely scratching Cliffjumper as he let go. A grapple shot out of his arm, impaling Starscream in the back.
“Ride ‘em cowboy! YEE HAW!!” Cliffjumper screamed as he kicked Starscream to the surface of the ship, smashing through the ceiling and into the haul. Starscream skidded right out of the ship. Cliffjumper smiled as he walked over to get the allspark. But he paused as Thundercracker stood in the way.
“Out of the way ‘cracker!” Cliffjumper yelled. Thundercracker gripped the metal suitcase as he glared at the Autobot.
“Sorry ‘Jumper.. No can do.” Thundercracker grinned. Cliffjumper looked over his shoulder and at the window in the front. He saw the surface of the planet coming in fast. Thundercracker raised an eyebrow and looked over his shoulder. Cliffjumper grinned as he high kicked Thundercracker in the face, catching the suitcase as he lunged behind him.
“Tell ‘Screamer I said adios!” He kicked Thundercracker out of the hanger and into space. He gripped the suitcase against his chest, looking through the cockpit and at the planet he was heading for, the annoying horn of the siren going off in the background.
“This… Is gonna hurt.”

“Wake up Spike!” Twilight shook the baby dragon violently, smacking his face with a hoof. She groaned and started tickling his nose. Spike sneezed and continued to sleep, mumbling stuff about Rarity. Twilight gave up and sighed heavily.
“T-Twilight?” Twilight looked at the awakening baby dragon, hugging him tightly. “Twilight! Your… killing… ME!!” she let go, letting the baby dragon breath.
“We gotta get out of here Spike!” Twilight exclaimed. Spike looked up at the giant burning ship that was falling from the sky in high speed. He leaped onto twilights back and kicked her sides. Twilight nayed as she galloped away, running around trees. A giant burning piece of metal crashed in front of them, burning the trees of the Everfree Forest. She ran around it, galloping as fast as she could. Pieces of burnt metal rained behind her, almost cutting her tail. The ground brightened up around them, the heat scorching the forest floor as the giant ship flew over their heads, crashing right in front of them. The impact sent a shockwave outwards. Twilight flew backwards, sending Spike off her back as they both crashed into trees with a thud.
Spike groaned in pain, holding his left arm as he hit the side of the tree. He coughed hard, rubbing his neck in pain. A tree fell in front of him, the blazing orange fire engulfing the dying tree. He turned around to see Twilight lying on the ground, her mane partly on fire. A small gash went across her chest, her fur covered in ashes. Spike nudged her shoulder to make her get up. She opened her eyes slowly, covering them a bit because of the glare of the fire. She got up slowly, shaking off the ashes and dirt off her fleece.
“Thought you were dead there…” Spike smiled. Twilight pouted, smacking spike in the face.
“How could you say that to a person that just recovered from an accident?” Twilight exclaimed. Spike smiled, trying to explain what he meant. She looked over her shoulder and gasped, spike turning around to see what she was scared of. The haul of the ship was engulfed in flames, Sparks peppering the forest floor. A large red robot jumped out of the flames, dropping a giant box on the ground. He coughed up some blue liquid, holding onto his arm as he got up to his knees. Twilight hid behind a tree, watching as the Robot crawled over to the metal box.
“That went better than expected…” The robot groaned, grabbing the metal suitcase. He sighed as his hand ripped off the last wires holding onto his arm. The suitcase hit the ground with a thud, flinging open to reveal the package. Twilight stared in marvel, the blue glow from the cube glistening off her eyes. She walked out of her hiding spot, going to the direction of the cube.
“Twilight, wait!” Spike exclaimed. The large red robot looked at the small mare walking towards the Allspark.
“H-Hey, Get away from that!” The red robot shouted. Twilight touched the side of the cube. The blue glow increased, getting smaller and smaller as the cube shrank in size. She moved her hoof away from her face to reveal a small cube on the ground. “That’s new… Then again they did it in the Michael b-“
“CUT!” a loud voice cracked as a colt held a megaphone in its hooves. Everyone groaned, glaring at the giant robot who just smiled. “Really Cliffjumper.. Break the forth wall…”
“Sorry!” Cliffjumper chuckled. The colt just shook his head, raising the megaphone back to his mouth.
“Whatever PLACES!” the director looked at Cliffjumper and shook his head. Twilight sipped a cup of water before running to her place. “And… ACTION!”
- - -
Twilight picked up the small cube, looking at it with interest. She gasped as she finally noticed the giant robot looking at her. She jumped up, dropping the Allspark and rushing back behind the tree.
“N-No don’t run!” the red robot smiled softly. Twilight peeked around the corner, looking at the giant robot. “I’m not gonna hurt you… I mean… I come in peace.” Twilight giggled as she came out from behind the tree, spike grabbing onto her tail and trying to push her back.
“Are you… An alien?” twilight asked, looking at the robot in amazement. Cliffjumper smiled softly.
“No… I’m an autonomous robotic organism from the planet Cybertro-“
“You’re an alien…” Twilight cut in. Cliffjumper groaned before nodding slowly. Twilight smiled softly. Cliffjumper smiled weakly, holding onto his severed hand.
“Well I’m Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight explained. “And you just crashed onto Equestria.” Cliffjumper looked around the burning forest, apologizing to the purple mare about the fire. They both laughed, looking up at the night sky. Cliffjumper paused as he saw something in the sky. Three objects started burning into the atmosphere at high speeds, barely catching on fire. Cliffjumper gasped.
“Oh slag… Starscream and his so called ‘gang’!” Cliffjumper turned to face Twilight, pointing over at a distance away from the scene. “Twilight, get out of here! Take the damn cube with ya!” twilight galloped away, dragging Spike with her. He put the Allspark onto the saddlebag around her neck, barely holding onto her tail as she ran. She skidded on the ground, hiding behind a tree to watch what was going to unfold.
-
Thundercracker and Skywarp smashed onto the surface, Starscream being the last one to land softly. Cliffjumper grinned softly, ignoring the Air Commander’s glare.
“Screamer, why didn’t you crash into the surface like everyone else?” Cliffjumper teased. Starscream narrowed his eyes. He picked up Cliffjumper by the neck, burning his eyes into his. Cliffjumper kept his smug smile on his face, spitting on Starscream’s face.
“We know you have it Cliffjumper…” Starscream growled. Cliffjumper laughed, barely gripping onto life. “Give it to us and we’ll make your last bit of life… the most painful moments you’ll ever have….” Cliffjumper narrowed his eyes at him, a grin creeping on his face. He held up his fist, his thumb raised in the air over a big red button. Starscream shrieked in horror.
“BOMB!!” Thundercracker yelled, ducking into cover.
“Dear Primus WHAT THE SLAG!” Skywarp jumped into the trees, covering his head. Starscream dropped Cliffjumper, backing away in shock. Cliffjumper laughed. He pressed the button, a soft beeping sound before his whole body detonated in a fiery explosion. Pieces of shrapnel rained down from the sky, pinging off of the hiding robots. Twilight stood in horror, the red fire cloud rising to the sky before disappearing in the wind. Thundercracker groaned, getting up slowly. Skywarp looked behind him to see a dark crater in the ground, pieces of red metal littered on the surface.
“Well..” Skywarp sighed. He got up from the ground and helped up Thundercracker, patting him on the back. He looked over at the still horrified Starscream.” “If the Allspark wasn’t gone before… It’s sure as slag is now…” thundercracker brushed off the small embers on his armor.
“Maybe it’s in space…” Thundercracker mumbled softly, pointing up at the sky. Skywarp covered his mouth, glaring at him for suggesting that. Starscream turned to face the two, a small grin on his metal face.
“Yes… Maybe they dropped it during the fight!” He chuckled. “Foolish Autobot’s, once I find this I’ll be rewarded by Megatron!” Skywarp groaned, looking at Thundercracker before crossing his arms.
“Yeah sure fine…” Skywarp grunted. “Thanks Thundercracker… It’s not like I didn’t want to do this or anything…” Starscream transformed and blasted off into the sky.
“No problem bro...” Thundercracker smiled. Skywarp stomped his foot, shaking the ground abit.
“Does no one understand the concept of sarcasm!” Skywarp yelled at loud. He blasted off into the sky, following Starscream. Thundercracker chuckled softly, looking up at the sky before looking back at the crater.
“Rest in peace Cliffjumper…” Thundercracker mumbled softly. He jumped as a soft sound of a twig snapping made him look around, pointing a blaster as he turned in a 360. Twilight stood still behind the tree, not making a single move. Thundercracker started walking slowly to Twilight’s position, his eyes on Twilight’s tail.
“Hurry up Thundercracker!” Skywarp exclaimed. Thundercracker looked u to see Skywarp floating in the air. “This was your damn idea, don’t think that you can just slack off!” Thundercracker sighed and transformed, flying over the trees before jetting off into the sky. Twilight breathed out, wiping away the sweat on her forehead. Spike laughed at the frightened pony, freezing in place when Twilight glared at him. Her horn glowed as she took out the cube from her saddlebag.
“Seems everyone wants this…” Twilight whispered, looking at the detail on the small block of metal. Spike looked at the cube, his green eyes looking at the faint glow of energon.
“What do you think it is?” Spike asked. Twilight put the cube back in her bag, looking up at the sky.
“I don’t know Spike..” Twilight mumbled. “But whatever it is... We’ve got to keep it away from those beasts.” Spike nodded and leaped on her back, pointing at Ponyville in the distance. Twilight nodded and galloped to that direction.
“Is that the one Celestia says is ‘special?’” An orange stallion in a black suit emerged from the bushes, watching the purple mare galloping away from the scene of the crash.
“That’s the one.” A blue griffin perched atop a tree branch, looking down at the orange stallion. “She’s kinda hot…” A red griffin walked out of the bushes, its green eyes sparkling in the moonlight. He kicked the side of the tree, making the blue griffin come crashing down from the top.
“We’ll wait till tomorrow morning….” The orange stallion smiled. “Then you can meet you crush.” The blue one growled, getting up fast. He looked at the stallion in the eye, his light blue eyes glaring at the stallions yellow eyes.
“She’s not my crush!” he shot back. “I just said she was cute!” The red griffin grunted softly, a grin creeping onto his face.
“I thought you said she was hot.” He protested. The blue griffin went to say something but blushed, his cheeks turning pink. The red griffin laughed, falling onto his back.
“C’mon you know that’s not what I meant!” the blue one argued. “I was kidding! Get those dirty thoughts out of your mind!”
