Transformers: Avatar Chronicles

Chapter 1: Arrival

MANY MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO, ON THE PLANET CYBERTRON, LIFE EXISTED, BUT NOT LIFE AS WE KNOW IT, INTELLIGENT ROBOTS THAT COULD THINK AND FEEL INHABITED THE CITIES. THEY WERE CALLED AUTOBOTS AND DECEPTICONS. HOWEVER, THE BRUTAL DECEPTICONS WERE DRIVEN BY A SINGLE GOAL: TOTAL DOMINATION. THEY SET OUT TO DESTROY THE PEACE LOVING AUTOBOTS, AND A WAR BETWEEN THE FORCES OF GOOD AND EVEL RAGED ACROSS CYBERTRON, DEVASTATING ALL IN ITS PATH, DRAINING THE PLANET'S ONCE RICH SOURCES OF ENERGY. THE AUTOBOTS, ON THE VERGE OF EXTINCTION, BATTLED VALIANTLY TO SURVIVE, BUT IN REACENT YEARS, THE WAR BEGAN TO TILT IN THE DECEPTICONS' FAVOR, AND THE TYRANOUS LEADER OF THE DECEPTICONS, MEGATRON, HAS CONDUCTED A PLAN TO END THE WAR AND DESTROY THE AUTOBOTS ONCE AND FOR ALL...

Deep in the Decepticon capital city of Kaon, Megatron was observing the final touches of his latest creation: a space bridge. With it, he will be able to access the resources of other worlds to experiment with and create weapons that the Autobots have never seen before. Then the doors opened, and the Decepticon intelligence officer, "Soundwave," came through.

"SPACE BRIDGE COMPLETE MEGATRON," Sondwave reported to his master with a monatone computer-like voice. Megatron simply smirked, knowing this will spell certain doom for the Autobots. His second in command, the seeker known as "Starscream," disagreed though.

"If I man ask Lord Megatron, how will we even know if this will work?" Starscream asked, trying to hide his distrust. "Sure, a Decepticon MIGHT be able to go to its destination safely, but how would he be able to get back here?"

"Simple," Megatron responded with a growling, yet emotionless tone. "We will use these devices attached to our wrists to teleport us back to Kaon." As proof, Megatron showed Starscream the device, which was attached to his arm. Starscream, however, was even more baffled at this as opposed to relieved.

"And just when did you test this to make sure it WORKS!?" the seeker shouted, not caring that his master would likely crush him with one hit.

"We will field test it soon, and I sugest you be quiet before you become our first test subject Starscream," Megatron answered with terrifying authority. "With this space bridge, we will be able to experiment with resources from alien worlds and create new weapons of mass destruction. The Autobots won't know what hit them." Unknown to him though, outside the capital, an Autobot scout named "Bumblebee," was recording Megatron's conversation. Bumblebee then transformed into a futuristic muscle car and drived as fast as he could to deliver this information to the heroic leader of the Autobots, "Optimus Prime."

Once Bumblebee has reached the Autobot capital of Iacon, he immediately rushed to the control room, where Optimus Prime was monotoring any Decepticon activity.

"(Optimus! I've got something you might want to hear!)" Bumblebee said to the Autobot leader through his beeps and bloops due to his damaged vocal processor.

"What is it Bumblebee?" Optimus said, with a great amount of courage and reassurance in his voice. Bumblebee then got out a recording device and played back Megatron's conversation with Soundwave and Starscream.

"With this space bridge, we will be able to experiment with resources from alien worlds and create new weapons of mass destruction. The Autobots won't know what hit them..." the device played back. Once Optimus heard his rival's intentions, his optics widened.

"By Primus. If the Decepticons use this space bridge, who knows what kinds of weapons they'll be able to create?" the Autobot leader said. "If we are to win this war, there's only one logical solution: invade Kaon, and destroy the space bridge."

"Invade Kaon!?" replied a red Autobot named "Ironhide," who's served in this war almost as long as Optimus. "If we go marchin' over there, it'll be a massacre Prime!"

"I'm afraid we don't have much of a choice," Optimus said to the Autobot veteran. "If we stay here, we'll risk loosing everything." Then he went up to the intercom to alert the Autobots warriors in the city. "Autobots, assemble a strike team and meet me outside the capital in one hour."

Before heading out to meet with the strike team, a tall blue Autobot with shoulder cannons carrying a huge hammer walked up to Optimus. He was the second in command of the Autobots, "Ultra Magnus."

"I know why you are here Magnus," Optimus said. "But my decision is final. We need to invade Kaon and destroy this space bridge."

"I understand Optimus," Magnus responded. "But Ironhide may be right. It would be suicide to attack the Decepticon capital."

"Be that is it may old friend, this stalemate cannot last," Optimus replied. "One side must win..." And with that, he walked outside the capital to his strike team. Ultra Magnus just watched, not wanting Optimus to do this, but knowing he is his superior and must abide by his decision.

Back at Kaon, a test run was taking place for the space bridge. A Decepticon soldier was transported to a world not too far from Cybertron. Now it was time to test the wrist device, and much to Starscream's surprise, the warrior returned without a scratch on him.

"Our inventions work!" Starscream declared, trying to hide his surprise. Megatron, as usual, was annoyed.

"Of course they work Starscream..." Megatron replied, clearly agrivated but keeping his low tone. "Now, bring in a team to-" Megatron couldn't finish his response when Soundwave inturupted them.

"ALERT! AUTOBOTS DETECTED INSIDE THE CAPITAL!" Soundwave reported. Megatron's optics widened in shock, then he turned to Starscream, furiously.

"YOU USLESS PILE OF SCRAP! YOU LET THE AUTOBOTS DISCOVER THE SPACE BRIDGE!" Megatron exploded at the seeker, now unable to stay calm.

"Wh-what!? No Lord Megatron! I-" Just then, the doors were blasted off by a trigger happy Autobot named "Warpath."

"WHOO-HOO! Let's go, BAM! kick some Decepticon cans!" Warpath yelled enthusiastically as more Autobots, including Optimus, Bumblebee and Ironhide, charged forward.

"Omega Supreme, destroy the space bridge!" Optimus commanded the mammoth Autobot guardian, "Omega Supreme."

"COMMAND, ACKNOWLEDGED," Omega responded in his booming voice as he walked to the space bridge. Just as he was about to carry out Optimus' command though, six green and purple Decepticons, known as "The Constructicons," walked up to the titan. Their leader, "Scrapper," was the first to speek.

"Hey Omega! Come and get us you over sized tin can!" Scrapper yelled, hoping to get Omega Supreme's attention. The guardian then turned, and his optics were filled with anger when he saw who yelled at him.

"CONSTRUCTICONS! MUST, DESTROY!" Omega yelled with rage, much to Optimus' dismay.

"No Omega! Destroy the Space Bridge!" Optimus commanded the massive Autobot, but Omega ignored him, and charged at the Constructicons.

"Constructicons! Merge into Devastator!" Scrapper commanded his comrads, and each of them transformed into a limb, then combinded to form a massive Decepticon that was about as big as Omega, "Devastator." Omega didn't have time to respond when Devastator tackled him to the ground.

"OMEGA!" Optimus cried, when suddenly, Megatron delivers a sucker punch to the Autobot leader's face, causing him to land on the controls for the Space Bridge. Megatron then pins him down.

"It's over Prime," the tyrant declared, not knowing that Starscream was aiming his null-rays from up above.

"I've got BOTH of my enemies right in my optics," the Seeker said to himself. Optimus fortunately catches him, then kicks Megatron off of him and gets out of the line of fire, right when Starscream fired his null-rays, causing them to hit the controls insted. The Space Bridge then started to go haywire. Megatron looked at the destroyed console in terror, then sees that it was Starscream who caused all of this. NOW he was mad.

"YOU FOOL STARSCREAM! YOU MAY HAVE VERY WELL DOOMED US ALL!" Megatron yelled at his second in command as the Space Bridge then starts to collapse in on itself and the Autobots and Decepticons were sucked with it, before the entire bridge exploded, causing the capital to explode and collapse, but when the dust settled, only the bodies of a few Decepticon drones were discovered. The Autobots and other Decepticons were missing.

*QUE TRANSFORMERS: PRIME OPENING THEME*

Hours later, Optimus awoke from stasis inside some kind of emerald coated cave. It wasn't like anything on Cybertron, so immediately, he started to get concerned, knowing he was not at his home planet. What concerned him even more though is that none of his Autobot comrades were with him. After he got up, a bit beat up, but operational, he activated a built-in comlink in his head.

"Autobots, report," Optimus said through the device. His response: nothing but static. Then he realized that his comlink was damaged. Fearing for his friends' safety, he looked around his surroundings to try and find a way out. Then he saw that there were structures here that were obviously made by intelligant life forms.

'If the Autobots are here, then maybe the locals of this world will know where they are...' he thought, hoping he was right and that the other Autobots survived the Space Bridge explosion. After finding no openings, his best option was now to blast his way there, so he started feeling the walls, trying to find a hollow spot. When he found one, a gun formed in his right arm and he fired at the wall, causing an opening to form. He then started walking to make his way to the surface.

Meanwhile in an island miles away from the Earth Kingdom capital of Ba Sing Se, The Avatar, Aang, and his friends were busy being reunited with Appa, Aang's pet six-legged sky bison. They reacently got him out of an underground base in Lake Laogai run by the Dai Lee and their leader, Long Feng, a corrupt advisor to the Earth King who has been busy hiding the truth of the war the Fire Nation has been brewing for 100 years to achive total control of the Earth King and the city.

"I missed you more than you'll ever know buddy," Aang said to his pet as he laied on his giant fluffy forehead. Immediately after, Momo, the Gaang's flying leamur bat, flew up to Appa's forehead to do the same thing. Meanwhile, Sokka came up to Katara and Toph to discuss their next move to try and warn the Earth King of a solar eclipse that will render the firebenders powerless, thus giving them a chance to end the war.

"Look, we escaped from the Dai Lee, we got Appa back, I'm telling you, we should go to the Earth King now and tell him our plan," he said, with a hint of him being full of himself as always. "We're on a roll!"

"One good hour after weeks of trouble isn't much of a roll," Katara replied to her brother.

"We can build on it," Sokka responded. "If we want to invade the Fire Nation when the eclipse happens we need the Earth King's support."

"What makes you think we'll get it?" Toph asked. "I don't know if you've noticed, but things don't usually go smoothly for our little gang."

"I know, but I've got a good feeling about this," Sokka said, obviously trying to hide his slight agreement with Toph. "This time'll be different."

"Sokka, Long Feng is in control of the city," Katara argued. "His conspiracy with the Dai Lee is too powerful. I think we should just keep flying and leave this horrible place behind us."

"I'm with Sweetness," Toph said. "I've seen enough of Ba Sing Se, AND I CAN'T EVEN SEE!" Just then, Aang came up to say what he thinks of this situation.

"But now that we have appa back, there's nothing stopping us from telling the Earth King the truth, about the conspiracy AND the war," Aang claimed.

"See," Sokka said with his hand on Aang's shoulder and with a cocky grin on his face. "Aang's with me. It's the whole reason we came here in the first place, we have to try." Katara then placed her hand on her chin and though for a second before coming to a new conclusion.

"Well, I guess if the Earth King knew the truth, things could change," she said. Just then, Toph got up with her arms crossed, still not 100% sure on what to do.

"I don't trust the new positive Sokka. LONG FANG BRAINWASHED YOU, DIDN'T HE!?" she said while pointing at Sokka blindly, half joking at her remark. Then, Aang spotted three ships far away from the island they were on.

"That's probably the Dai-Lee searching for us," Sokka declared. "So?" He then turned to Katara for an answer. It didn't take that long for her to make a decision.

"Let's fly," she declared.

Back at Ba Sing Se, next to the palace, the ground suddenly blasted open, thankfuly not while any civilians were around the area, and Optimus, in his alt mode, a futuristic red and blue semi-truck, came out of the hole and started driving around the area. The civilians were of course cought off guard and quite scared, but he drove past any pedestrians, making sure not to hit anyone. Just then, he saw some kind of creature in the sky with four humans on it. Perhaps they could know where he was.

"CAN WE PLEASE BUY A NEW SADDLE!? RIDDING BAREBACK IS TERRIFYING!" Toph claimed while ridding on Appa with the others, holding on for dear life. Her blindness already made flying frightful for her, but now they don't even have a saddle. As Appa aproached the Earth Kingdom palace, Sokka noticed something in the ground. Something very unusual.

"Guys, look," Sokka said, and Katara and Aang looked down to see a vehicle racing from the palace.

"Long Fang must have known we were coming!" Aang exclaimed as he commanded Appa to land near the strange vehicle. The four of them got out and readied themselves for a fight. "Whoever you are, surrender and we won't start something ugly!"

"Do not be afraid," something from the vehicle said. "I have no intentions to fight." Just then, the parts of the vehicle started to move and shirt to different places, and soon, a giant metal red and blue robot was standing before them. During the process, Aang's eyes widen in shock and surprise, Katara's mouth was wide open, and Sokka's mouth literally dropped to the floor. Toph on the other hand was more confused. She could sense that something was alive and in front of them, but she couldn't 'see' whatever it was. She could however sense that the others were dumbstruck.

"Uh guys," she asked. "What's going on?"

"Oh nothing..." Katara responded, still in awe at what happened. "Whatever that thing was just turned into a giant 30ft tall metal man..." Toph tried to picture it before grinning wide.

"Sweet," was her response. Then, Aang cautiously walked to the robot, somewhat scared, but curious.

"Uh, okay," Aang said. "My name's Aang, and this is Katara, Sokka and Toph. Who are you?"

"WHAT are you?" Sokka added. The robot then stepped forward and kneeled to their level.

"My name is Optimus Prime," he responded. "An Autonomis Robotic Organism from the planet Cybertron, or 'Autobot' for short." Sokka then stepped forward at the mentioning of the word 'planet.'

"Whoa whoa whoa big guy," Sokka said. "Planet?"

"Yes," Optimus responded, somewhat confused. "Have you not encountered an alien lifeform before?"

"No, we never even knew life existed outside our world," Katara responded. Sokka, fear aside, then walked up to Optimus and turned to the others with a big grin on his face.

"Oh man, if we add this guy to the team, we won't even need the eclipse to win the war!" Sokka claimed with great enthusiasm. Optimus' optics widened however at the mentioning of war. Sokka noticed this and turned to him. "Hey, big fella, something wrong?"

"War?" Optimus asked. "This planet is at war as well?"

"Yes, sadly," Aang responded. "Your planet is at war too?"

"Yes, but that is something I'd prefer to speek about later," Optimus added. "Now, that aside, I need to know about this world that I am on." Katara then stepped forward with a map.

"I'd be happy to help you with that Optimus," Katara said as she layed the map down for Optimus to see. "Our world is composed of four nations: the Earth Kingdom, which is where we are now, the Water Tribes, the Air Nomads, and the Fire Nation. For the longest time we lived in peace and harmony, until the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of controling the four elements through bending and the preserver of balance over the four nations was capable of stopping them, but one day he vanished, never to be seen again. Knowing the next Avatar would be an airbender, the Fire Nation wiped out the air temples, and killed every airbender, except one." She then turned her head to Aang, who's head was down after hearing what happened to his people again. Optimus was in shock as to what the Fire Nation did.

"By the Allspark..." he said. The Decepticons may be brutal, but never have they comitted the act of genocide. Hearing that story made him think of one thing: the Fire Nation must be brought to justice. He then reached a conclusion. "I will assist you any way that I can." The children then smiled as to what he said, especially Sokka.

"We're glad that you will, cause right now, we may need some major help Optimus," Aang said to the Autobot leader. "We're trying to message the Earth King about a solar eclipse that will render the firebenders powerless and give us a chance of ending this war, but one of his advisors, Long Fang, is trying to prevent that, and has likely alerted the Earth King that we're coming. We now have no choice but to go in by force ."

"I see..." Optimus responded to the young Avatar, truthfuly understanding their actions. "However, under strict Autobot code, I refuse to murder any alien lifeform."

"We wern't intending on doing that Optimus," Katara replied with a smile. Optimus, relieved, then got out his blaster and switched it to stun.

"Let's roll," was Optimus' response before transforming and heading to the palace while the Gaang got back up on Appa and started flying there again.

Once Optimus reached the gates, he immediately transformed and leaped over the wall, taking out the anti-air weapons with a sword that extended from his left arm and took out the earthbender guards with his stun cannon. Back up on Appa, Sokka was watching with great excitement.

"Oh man, look at that guy go!" Sokka exclaimed before Aang lept off Appa and took out a whole platoon of guards by earthbending the ground when he landed. The leader immediately ran off when he saw Optimus advancing with his advanced weaponry and towering height. The other three then got off Appa when he landed and joined Aang and Optimus in running to the palace, when two rows of guards came to them.

"Incoming!" Optimus declared as the guards earthbended projectiles from the ground and threw them at the Gaang. Aang, Toph, and Optimus went back to back to back, using airbending, earthbending, and sword slashing to make sure none of them made their target. Katara then water-whipped the guards away.

"Sorry!" she constantly kept saying to the guards she was taking out. Then another squad of guards came in, but Toph was quick to act as she earthbended the ground to raise up and go down like dominoes, almost crushing the guards.

"Sorry!" Katara said. "We just need to get through to see the Earth King!" Her apologies were unrecognized however as more earthbenders tossed the statues from the enterance at them, but Optimus blasted both of them to rubble before they hit them. Katara then froze some water from her vail to slide across the trench and in behind the guards as she waterbended all of them into the trench, then used her techniques to waterbend the guards in the enterance out of the way and into the trench as well. Aang then froze the trench to ensure that they would not get out. Then the five of them were ambushed as about 100 guards came from the enterance and shot more rocks at them. Optimus shielded the Gaang from this though, and blasted them all with his stun blaster.

"Seriously! We're actually on your guyses' (that's how he said it, no lie) side!" Sokka exclaimed to no avail as more guards surrounded them, but Toph and Aang earthbended up walls and used them to push both groups of guards away. They then made it to basically a fork in the road.

"Which way to the Earth King Toph?" Optimus asked the blind earthbender as she took care of even more guards.

"How should I know metal mouth!?" Toph replied. "I'm still voting we LEAVE Ba Sing Se!" Sokka then proceeded to look for the door to the throne. He opens one only to find a woman changing. She screamed and fainted at the sight of Sokka.

"Sorry! Wrong door!" Sokka said as he kept looking for the door when he spotted a huge golden gate. That one HAD to lead to the Earth King.

"Now THAT'S an impressive door," Sokka complimented. "It's gotta go somewhere." He then leaps upward in a position where he could kick the door down, but insted he hits it, and falls over. EPIC FAIL.

"Allow me," Optimus said as he walked over and blasted the door down with his blaster. Sokka's prediction was correct as they see the Earth King sitting on his throne, but they're too late. Long Fang and five Dai Lee agents were already there. All of them however were dumbstruck as they saw Optimus emerge from the smoke. One Dai Lee agent actually fainted at the sight of him. The Gaang and Optimus then drew their weapons at Long Fang while the four remaining agents positioned themselves to aprehend the five of them.

"We need to talk to you," Aang said to the Earth King.

"They're here to overthrow you," Long Fang responded. Optimus then stepped forward.

"That man is a criminal your highness, HE is the one who seeks to overthrow you," Optimus retaliated. "We are on your side. We are here to help."

"You have to trust us!" Katara added. Then the Earth King stood up, clearly not trusting them.

"You invade my palace, lay waste to all my guards, rip down my fancy door, and you extect me to trust you!?" he said to them with a hint of anger in his voice.

"He has a good point," Toph remarked to her friends.

"If you are on my side, then drop your weapons and stand down," the Earth King commanded. The Gaang then stopped their bending and Sokka put away his boomerang. Optimus however, looked at his new friends with confusion.

"We should do what he says Optimus," Aang said. "If we keep fighting, we'll only make things worse." Optimus understood Aang's point and put away his blaster and sword and retracted his faceplate. Aang then turned back to the Earth King. "See? We're friends your earthiness. Heh heh." The Earth King however, did not believe them and Long Fang motioned his agents to stone cuff the Gaang and chain Optimus to the ground. None of them retaliated, thinking that would only make things worse. Long Fang then smirked, feeling victory was almost in his grasp.

*QUE AVATAR ENDING THEME*
