Chapter One: Zeta Prime

In the cold dark recesses of space rested a small planet known as Cybertron. Though it was once peaceful world, it is now home to the most legendary war known throughout the cosmos...

Through the depths of Iacon city raced three cybertronians, an automobile, a motorbike and a helicopter. "Bumblebee we're coming up on the Citadel, transmit the clearance codes." The helicopter said to the bright yellow car below him.

"Citadel prime, this is autobot Bumblebee from squad eight. Requesting entry, clearance code 6074372." They began to slow down, waiting for a response from security. "This is Ironhide, your code checks out. Welcome home squad eight."

Just then a large set of blast doors opened up, letting the three inside then shutting with a loud slam. But when no one was looking one of the lamp posts along the road transformed into a sinister looking purple cybertronian.

He pressed his chest and a cartridge popped out, transforming into a bird like creature and landed on his arm. "Lazerbeak, contact Lord Megatron immediately." He said in a calm demeanor, and Lazerbeak's head shifted into a satellite dish.

"Broadcasting secure channel to decepticon headquarters, Soundwave reporting from Iacon city!" He waited for a response, when a deep and gravely voice boomed from the radio. "Soundwave! What have you to report!?"

Soundwave spoke as he entered in the coordinates of the autobot base. "The Autobots are based in the Iacon Citadel, but their leader Zeta Prime is not here. I have been monitoring their communications, but it appears Zeta Prime has hidden himself away even from his subordinates."
Megatron slammed his giant metal fist down on the arm of his chair, and growled in annoyance. "Zeta Prime is doing everything in his power to keep me from getting the matrix of leadership, Soundwave report back to headquarters but leave Lazerbeak for further surveillance."

Soundwave finished sending the coordinates and said. "As you wish Lord Megatron." Lazerbeak then took to the skies, and Soundwave transformed into a slick automobile with a spiked grill. Zooming off through the city, leaving Lazerbeak to watch the Citadel with a wary eye.

Inside the large dome-shaped building, the 3 Autobots screeched to a halt in a large circular room. The black and yellow automobile known as Bumblebee transformed into a medium hight malebot with glowing blue eyes.

The black motorbike changed into a thin fembot, just a little bit shorter than Bumblebee. Her name was Blacksteel, and she stretched out her limbs after being in vehicle form for so long.

And then the blue helicopter shifted into a rather tall malebot, his mouth covered in a blast plate and a second pair of arms underneath regular arms. His name was Blitzburner, and he was the leader of squad eight.

"Another day, another boring patrol! We should be out there on the front lines!" Blacksteel said somewhat annoyed, Bumblebee placing a hand on her shoulder. "You should be thankful, we're safe in Iacon."

BlackSteel smirked up at him, bumping him with her hip. "Ah chillax Bee, Megatron doesn't have the bearings or forces to launch a full scale attack on Iacon!" Bumblebee rolled his optics and smiled back at her, looking deep into those passion filled eyes.

Blitzburner cleared his throat and said. "If you two love bots are done flirting, I need to report to Ironhide. Get yourselves fixed up okay?" Blacksteel lightly punched his shoulder playfully, saying. "The only one who needs fixing up is you, get your optics checked so you won't run into a building next time."

Blitzburner shook his head and he walked off towards the security post, and Steel elbowed Bumblebee. "Come on, I am in desperate need of a recharge!" And the walked the opposite direction towards the recharge station, through the light grey halls that glowed blue from the overhead lights.

Blacksteel glanced at Bumblebee as they walked down the hall, rounding the corner to the common hall. "Hey Bee, can I asked you a question?" Bumblebee looked at her and asked. "What's up Steel?"
She looked around them at all of the civilians of Iacon, and frowned. "Don't you think we should have gone with Ultra Magnus to help Decaton city?" Bumblebee thought about it and shook his head, putting an arm around her shoulder in a friendly manor.

"Steel, we're needed here. I know you want to be out there kicking decepticon afterburner, but they need us more right now." He said gesturing to the people of iacon City, and patting her shoulder. But before they entered the recharge chamber, they were stopped by a deep booming voice coming from the intercom.

"Bumblebee, Blacksteel, please report to the command center." They both sighed, and turned around to go and receive their orders. Blacksteel grabbed her head and groaned. "So close and yet so far!" Making Bumblebee chuckle.

Meanwhile Blitzburner was pointing to a large map of the canyon 20 kilometers south of Iacon. "Right there, that's where I saw the cons. They were flying variant vehicons, and it looked like Starscream was with them!"

Ironhide tapped his chin thoughtfully, and had a look of concern on his face. "This is bad, all of our main forces are with Ultra Magnus in Decaton city! If Megatron were to launch an attack we'd be defenseless! Optimus, Zeta Prime must know this immediately!"

Optimus nodded turning to Blitzburner, and said. "Blitzburner, we can only assume they're monitoring our communications. So I want you to scout out the area and draw attention to yourself, while Bumblebee and Blacksteel deliver a message directly to Zeta Prime!"

Blitzburner didn't like the idea of Bumblebee and Blacksteel knowing such important information, it made them major targets for the decepticons. "Sir, if I may let me deliver the message!" Optimus placed a hand on his back and lead him away to the observation deck. "I know you fear for your friends, but you are more aware of your surroundings."

Blitzburner hung his head in worry, but Optimus put both hands on his shoulders. "Our tragic War has ravaged Cybertron, and our defeat would mean the end of everything. But we are Autobots! And the Autobots will never sacrifice freedom! Together we shall stand, and if we succeed tomorrow will be a brighter future!"

Blitzburner nodded, and saluted Optimus. The large red and blue commander saluting him back, and Blitzburner transformed and flew off. Leaving Optimus alone, and he looked out across the dark cityscape. "You are our last hope, return safely."
