Hello everyone. This was one story that I have been itching to write for a very long time and now I finally have the chance! I am going to write a crossover between one of the greatest anime of all time with one of the greatest franchises of all time: Code Geass and Transformers! Keep in mind, that I will be working with the Aligned Continuity of Transformers (Transformers: War for Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron, Prime, and Robots in Disguise (2015)). So, I will be using characters and storylines from that timeline of the Transformers franchise, with a few minor elements from some of the Bay films, but not a whole lot. I will also be working with Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, specifically the R1 portion.
Well then, with nothing else needing to be said, let us get started! Transform and Roll out!

(I own neither Transformers nor Code Geass)

Prologue

Cybertron. What was once a powerful and peaceful planet was now all but lifeless; the only forms of activity that remained on the planet were further battles as the war between the Autobots and Decepticons had come to an end, with no one as the victor. Cybertron would be a cold and barren planet for millions of years. Now anyone still on it was either trying to leave or finish what battles they needed.

A massive ship, one that was about the size of a whole city, had just left the planet's atmosphere and was making its way toward a massive portal deep in space. This was the Ark, a vessel containing what remained of the Autobot forces, hoping to find a new home now that their old one was lost.

Within the Ark, in a hallway toward the bridge of the ship were two particular Autobots. One was the large red and blue leader of the faction: Optimus Prime. The other was a smaller, yellow, Autobot who remained silent due to his voice box being damaged: Bumblebee.

"We have no choice Bumblebee; the war is lost." Optimus told his scout as the two walked. "Leaving our home has been the hardest decision I've ever had to make. It has been a long, painful war with the Decepticons." The door in front of them opened to reveal the bridge of the Ark where several Autobots were at work with the Ship's systems. Through the massive window in front of them, one could see the portal they were heading toward.

"Whatever lies beyond that portal is our best and lost hope my friend." Optimus said as they maintained course. However, no one seemed to notice that behind the Ark there was another ship heading in that same direction as well.

As the two Autobots walked onto the bridge, they came toward a control panel which was being monitored by what appeared to be a much smaller Autobot, a small orange and blue-eyed Autobot with wheels for legs. He was on a hover pad as he worked his small hands on the console. He was not only an Autobot, but a smaller species of Cybertronian, a Mini-Con.

"Optimus, we are approaching the portal." The orange Mini-Con informed his leader. "Unfortunately, data indicates its growing more unstable."

"Will we make it, Fixit?" Optimus asked.

"I do not know sir." The Mini-Con, apparently named Fixit, responded. "At this rate it may close before we even get there."

All their attention was averted when a large shadow began to loom over them. All the Autobots on the bridge looked up in surprise as they saw the large and deadly warship known as the Nemesis made its appearance.

"Oh no." Fixit trembled in fear.

"Megatron." Optimus glared.

The Nemesis began to deploy a series of grappler/drill-like objects from its haul which shot directly at the bridge, shattering through the window, and imbedding onto the floor.

Optimus grabbed Fixit protectively as the Autobot soldiers all drew their weapons. "Direct all fire on those tow-cables!"

Bumblebee's wrists converted into his dual Energon blasters as he tried to shoot at the cable, but a second tow-cable came down right in front of him, sending him flying back before he blacked out. The last thing he heard before it went dark was Optimus saying an order.

"All hands to combat!"

It may have been a few minutes, but Bumblebee was beginning to recover from the attack. He regained his vision and saw two Autobots were helping him. One was his leader, still holding Fixit, the other was the white and red bot-medic known as Ratchet.

"Bumblebee! You with us?"

The scout's eyes opened as he saw Ratchet with a light-probe scanning him.

"Optimus, he's coming around."

"Thank the maker." Optimus sighed in relief as Ratchet checked him out.

"He's been through worse." Ratchet began. "Voice box is still crushed, nothing new there. Base Energon levels are almost normal. Overshields are charging up." The ship rumbled a bit.

"I have a feeling that this isn't over." Fixit stated with worry.

Optimus placed a hand on Ratchet's shoulder, the medic nodded to him, he knew Optimus had to get out there. He would look after Bumblebee. The larger Autobot gently put Fixit down next to Ratchet before running out of the bridge to help his soldiers as Ratchet finished checking in on Bumblebee.

Fixit turned around and saw from the tow-cable, three Vehicon troopers had entered the bridge. "Ratchet! Bumblebee! Decepticons have boarded the bridge!"

"Arms out! Weapons to the Deck!" One Vehicon exclaimed.

Ratchet quickly rose his hands to show he was unarmed, while still holding the light probe. "Don't fire! I'm a medic!"

"Slap a muffler on it!" The Vehicon ordered.

However, Ratchet was far from helpless. He threw his probe in the air before it exploded like a flash grenade.

"Take them out Bumblebee!" Ratchet exclaimed as he took Fixit and found cover.

"My optics!" One Vehicon shielded his eyes with the others, giving Bumblebee the opening he needed to activate his blasters and quickly gun down all three Decepticons.

"More Decepticons boarding!" Fixit informed as several more Vehicons intruded via the tow cables.

The door from behind opened where several Autobot troopers opened fire on the Decepticons, initiating the fire-fight.

"Defend the Bridge!"

Bumblebee joined in. He took cover and nailed one Vehicon with a headshot before rolling out from undercover and rushing the closest Decepticon before slamming his shoulder into him to knock him into a second Con. The scout then used his fists to punch the lights out from one Vehicon before using him as a shield to block enemy fire from two more Decepticons before firing with both his blasters, hitting them in the faces and taking them off-line just as the remaining Autobot soldiers finished off the last of the Cons.

"That's showing them!" One soldier shouted.

"Don't celebrate yet, Megatron won't give up that easily." Ratchet advised as he set Fixit down on a console along the wall. "Fixit, can you get Teletraan-1 back online?"

"I will try." Fixit hands seemed to plug into the smaller extension-openings in the console as he began to reactivate Teletraan-1. "I think I… almost… got it!"

The voice that served as the main supercomputer program for the whole Ark gave an alert for the whole crew to hear.

"Alert. Firewall breach. Unauthorized Access."

Right after that, a giant and holographic head of the Decepticon leader, Megatron, appeared on the bridge as he began to speak.

"Your precious Ark will never reach that portal, Autobots!"

"Shield failure on starboard thruster." Teltraan-1 reported.

"I will tear your ship apart, piece-by-piece!" Megatron vowed before his hologram cut off. The tow cables retracted from the bridge, having sustained too much damage during the fire-fight.

Fixit continued to observe the ship's systems and saw something that made him look in alarm. "Oh no." He accessed the comns. "Optimus, Decepticons are swarming the engine deck!"

"I'm on my way!" Optimus replied on the other end of the comns. "Fixit, you and Ratchet maintain the bridge as best as you can."

"Yes, Optimus." Fixit responded.

However, no sooner than he finished, the Ark began to shake up as the lights dimmed and lit back up a few times before Teletraan-1 reported again.

"Teletraan system failure."

Ratchet did not like the sound of that. "Fixit, can you reboot the system?"

"No, I'm completely locked out of the system!" Fixit replied. "And worse, the entire Defense Network is Down!"

"Scrap!" Ratchet exclaimed in frustration. "Without the pulse cannons, Optimus won't stand a chance." He turned toward the silent scout. "Bumblebee, I need you to reboot the system manually! Fixit and I can maintain the bridge!"

"Here, take this fuse from Teletraan." Fixit used the system to remotely open a compartment along the wall to expose an Energon-fuse-like device. "This should reactivate the service lift to get you where you need to go."

"Good luck Bumblebee." Ratchet told him as Bumblebee took the fuse and ran out of the bridge via a door along the port side and met with two Autobot soldiers.

"This way Bumblebee, we'll take point."

The soldiers led Bumblebee down a long and curving hallway where they came to a door that was barley functional. However, a large Autobot was able to pry it open.

"Hurry! I'll hold it open for you!"

Bumblebee dashed through the opening and into a hallway along the side of the ship with windows showing the chaotic scene taking place out in space right now.

"Bumblebee, I've patched into your optics. The service lift is just ahead." Ratchet communicated to him via the comns.

"We've gotta get out of here!" An Autobot soldier exclaimed right as a tow-cable pierced through the windows. It retracted just as the vacuum pulled all the Autobots out into space, fortunately Bumblebee was able to grab a hold of the floor right as the blast doors came down and sealed the hole and the ship's artificial gravity was restored.

"Gravity reestablished." Teletraan-1 reported.

"Megatron will pay for that." Ratchet stated as Bumblebee picked himself back up. "They're ripping the Ark apart, you need to hurry!"

Bumblebee continued along his way as he jumped over a hole made by the tow-cable and continued along the hallway, all while Teletraan-1 continued with damage reports.

"Shield failure. Energon Capacity Depleting. Turbine starvation at 64%."

Bumblebee made his way into a dark and dysfunctional chamber where he spotted the fuse box in the middle.

"Bumblebee, replace that fuse and the lift should reactivate." Ratchet instructed.

The yellow scout did as he was told as he replaced the damaged fuse with the new one. Once it was installed, Energon began to flow again through several tubes above him as the lights went up, revealing a door which opened to show the service lift.

"Service lift online."

"Nice Work Bumblebee."

Bumblebee went inside, and the lift reactivated, taking him straight upward. As he went up, Bumblebee saw through a few windows as his fellow Autobots were doing their best to hold back the invading Decepticon forces.

"Bumblebee, you're almost to the defense tower. Hurry! Optimus is losing ground!" Ratchet reported.

The service lift came to a halt on the roof of the massive Ark where the only thing separating him from the defense tower was a bridge. He was about to head in that direction, but multiple explosions rang across the bridge, exposing several pipes and creating fires all around. But he had no time to worry about this as he ran through the flames, while they did burn and hurt, he pushed through and made it in one piece.

The silent scout opened a door to see a large and green Autobot duking it out with several Vehicons.

"Hey Bee, I could use a hand right here!" Bulkhead stated as he formed a mace in his right hand and smashed a Vehicon in front of him before opening fire with his left hand converted into a blaster.

Bumblebee ran in to join him as he opened fire with his own blasters, gunning down two Vehicons in front of him before rushing a third one and sweeping him off his feet before jumping into the air and smashing his head in with a powerful punch.

Bulkhead meanwhile grabbed a Vehicon with his hands and threw him into another before forming maces in both hands and rushing to smash the Decepticons into pulp.

"Okay, I can hold the line from here." Bulkhead told the smaller Autobot. "The defense mainframe is just through that door." He pointed to a door on the other side of the room, which Bumblebee ran toward. As he went ahead, Bulkhead turned to face the door where Bumblebee came in from and made a stand, ready to face any Decepticons that may come his way.

He opened the door and stuck to the wall as he saw a Vehicon at the controls, thankfully he did not notice him.

"Easy now…" Ratchet warned Bumblebee. "One misfire and you could fry that whole panel."

Bumblebee knew what he had to do. He quickly and quietly made his way to the Vehicon before he grabbed him by the head and snapped his neck, snapping the head clean off before he got to the controls. Bumblebee just needed to press a few command keys before the job was done.

From the window he could see the outside of the Ark where he could see the pulse cannons above the engine deck come back online.

"You did it! Pulse gunners! Engine deck! Covering fire!"

The cannons opened fired, blasting multiple large energy blasts toward the Nemesis, causing significant damage to the Decepticon warship.

"Tactical read-out is online." Ratchet informed. "Now if I can just locate Optimus… There! He's taking Megatron head on!"

However, right after that was said, Bumblebee spotted a tow cable that loomed above him and the defense mainframe like a snake ready to go in for the kill. Bumblebee rolled out of the way just as the tow-cable pierced its way into the room. He then jumped down a service duct which led him to fall to a lower chamber.

"Bumblebee, are you there?" Ratchet asked. Bumblebee was able to give out a single bleep to inform Ratchet he was still online. "Optimus needs your help! Change form and roll out!"

Bumblebee then transformed into his vehicular mode, resembling some sort of futuristic yellow car. The door opened as Bumblebee shot his way outside onto the outer deck of the Ark. He drove as fast as he could as he happened to past underneath the massive Decepticon combiner known as Bruticus before opening fire with his guns to take out some rubble in his way as he zoomed into the tunnel. He made a turn and back outside as he continued to ride as fast as possible to get to his leader in time.

"LOOK OUT BUMBLEBEE!"

Ratchet's warning came just in time as Bumblebee moved out of the way of an incoming tow-cable that would have turned him into scrap. He made another turn where he drove and swerved past a couple more tow-cable shots before coming close toward a drop. With no time to stop he decided to gun it. He flew through the air before the ship's artificial gravity pulled him down toward the lower ground. It was a bit of a rough landing, but he made it.

"Over here!"

Bumblebee saw an Autobot soldier waving toward him. The scout transformed back into robot-mode as he came toward a battalion of Autobots guarding the door he needed to get through.

"Ratchet said you were coming."

The scout made it past the battalion as he came toward the door guarded by two Autobots.

"Open up, we got Bumblebee!"

The door opened up as Bumblebee and the two Autobots ran inside.

"Thank Primus the defense gird is back up." One Autobot breathed in relief. "You pull that off?" Bumblebee nodded. "Nice, didn't stand a chance without it."

"Yeah? What do you think the odds are now?" The second Autobot asked grimly.

They made it through the hallway and into a room where several injured Autobots were resting and regrouping. He took the moment to look around at his injured comrades. Nearly every bot here had lost friends and their homes. Of course, they weren't the only ones. He held his throat where he could feel where his voice-box used to be. What was the point of this war? Why would Megatron go so far as to destroy his own home planet? Bumblebee swore upon the Allspark that he would do everything he can to help Optimus and make Megatron pay for all the suffering that he caused.

He came toward the door where at least six other Autobots were waiting for him.

"You ready to blast some Cons straight back to Cybertron?" One Autobot soldier asked enthusiastically. To which Bumblebee nodded.

"Through here Bumblebee." Another soldier directed him toward the door. "You wanna be tip of the spear? We're right behind you."

Bumblebee gave a nod in acknowledgement as the door opened and Bumblebee took the lead.

"Let's go! Let's go!" The other Autobots followed in from behind him.

"Move out! Move out!"

They ran up an incline before coming back outside to a warzone where several Autobots were forced back by an onslaught of blasts from multiple Vehicon troopers. Bumblebee readied his blasters as he opened fire and charged into the fray with the cavalry right behind him.

"Centrifugal separator critical! Engine Failure at 89%!"

Bumblebee shot and cleared out a couple Decepticons up front, punching a hole to let the other Autobot soldiers come in and open fire to take out several more Vehicons, making the battle much more even. Bumblebee transformed back into vehicle-form as he drove through the Decepticon forces, gunning them down with his side-blasters or just straight up ramming them. It wasn't long before the remaining Decepticon forces were destroyed and the Autobots made into an arch on the other side of the clearing. Several of the injured soldiers sat back to recover while Bumblebee wanted to push forward.

Once Bumblebee walked outside, closer toward the back engines of the Ark, he saw a large Autobot approaching him.

"Bumblebee, I'll clear you a wedge." The large Autobot was able to bash and knock down several invading Vehicons before Bumblebee and the Autobot soldiers accompanying him joined in. However, a large explosion erupted from the side.

"Holy scrap! Did you see that?! The whole engine deck is coming apart!"

"Keep pushing, Optimus needs us!"

The Autobots pushed forward to clear out the last of the Decepticons as they made it closer toward their destination.

"Air 1-8 to ground. That last blast took a toll on Optimus. You wanna help? The time is now!"

"We're almost through!" However, despite that claim, the Autobots had to take cover as several more Vehicons came flying toward them in the form of advanced alien jets before they transformed into robot form and opened fire.

"How many of these guys are there?!" One Autobot exclaimed.

"Autobots, listen up! Bumblebee's gonna punch through! Give him some covering fire! NOW!"

The Autobot soldiers opened fire on the Decepticons, forcing them to take cover. This gave Bumblebee the opening he needed to rush past them and make it toward the other side.

Bumblebee's path was obstructed by some debris too large for any large bot to get past. Fortunately, Bumblebee was small enough to squeeze through the debris. Though dust obscured his entire field of vision, the scout could tell that he was now standing on top of the back-thruster engines. From this point he had to be careful, one slip and he could literally fall all the way back to Cybertron.

"I can't see anything." Ratchet informed, still patched into Bumblebee's optics. "But my scanners say that Optimus should be right on top of you."

Right as he said that, Optimus was thrown at Bumblebee. This caused the yellow scout to stumble and fall back, almost falling off the side of one engine completely. Fortunately, he was able to grab onto the side and save himself. From his point he could see Optimus and Megatron dulling with their blades.

Bumblebee tried to climb up as fast as he could to help his leader who was clearly struggling against the evil tyrant. Megatron was able to kick Optimus back. He then spotted a large heavy ordinance weapon, which had enough for one shot.

"This ought to do the job." Megatron aimed it at his former friend.

Optimus glared defiantly at him. "Even if you destroy me Megatron, others will rise to defeat your tyranny!"

"Then I'll just have to destroy you all!"

Megatron shot the blast, but Bumblebee had climbed back up and jumped in the way, taking the shot for Optimus as both were knocked back. Optimus could only look in shock.

"Bumblebee!"

The scout was still alive, but barley. Though Optimus was clearly in shock, Megatron could only look in frustration. "What a waste of Energon!"

It was those words that sparked something in Optimus. A dear friend of his was near death and Megatron dismissed it as a waste of Energon. This spar was anger.

He looked up towards the Decepticon leader. "After eons of conflict I finally see the truth of your words Megatron."

Megatron had drawn his blade. "And what might that be, Optimus?" He tried to bring it down, only for Optimus to catch his arm.

"This universe, no matter how vast, will never be big enough for you and I to co-exist!"

He delivered a punch straight to Megatron's jaw, sending him flying straight up toward an upper deck and landing with a thud. He rolled out of the way just as Optimus had jumped up with his own blade and brought it down onto the ground. Optimus drew blades from both his hands as he began a furious clash of swords against Megatron.

"No one can stop me!"

They clashed metal for metal. Optimus swung vertically with his right blade, which Megatron blocked with his own sword before Optimus swung it at the side of Megatron, cutting him and forcing him back before Megatron shot his pulse cannon at Optimus to blast him back.

"You call yourself a Prime?!" Megatron mocked as they clashed blades once more. "You were a records clerk when I found you! You'll be dust when I'm through with you!"

"Are you going to talk or fight, Megatron?" Optimus questioned as the two locked blades and pressed against each other. Optimus was able to win as he swiped his swords to knock Megatron back before he tackled him towards the wall. From there Optimus laid a series of punches all across Megatron's body. He punched him one more time across the face before picking him up and smashing him against the wall and throwing him toward the ground.

Right as Megatron was about to get back up, more explosions rang around them, causing them both to stumble slightly before they resumed their battle. "You're finished Megatron." Optimus told him as he swung his blade toward his head, but Megatron caught it in his hands.

"Never!" Megatron punched Optimus in the abdomen. "I'm just warming up!" He delivered a punch to Optimus' face to knock him back and kicking him to the ground. Megatron laughed as he pinned Optimus down and punched him repeatedly in the face. "You're as soft as the weaklings you fight for!"

Optimus grabbed Megatron's fist and threw it away before headbutting Megatron and forcing him off him. "On the contrary, my friends are the source of my strength."

Optimus the went back on the offensive with his fists as he punched Megatron all across his face and body to knock him back. However, before Optimus could go much further, more explosions rang across their battlefield as several pieces were pulling towards the unstable portal, they were drawing closer towards. This gave Megatron the opportunity to come back with his own punch to Optimus' face, and kicked him in the chest to knock him back before rushing him and tackling him toward a pillar, but Optimus delivered a knee to Megatron before performing a roundhouse kick right to Megatron's face.

"Not bad for a librarian." He shot his pulse cannon at him. "Perhaps you should have spent more time in the pit."

Optimus rolled to avoid the lasers as his hands converted into his own blasters. "And you should have spent more time in the library." He shot at Megatron as the two ran at each other, while simultaneously shooting at each other before they clashed and grappled their hands to struggle against each other's strength.

Optimus' own blue optics glared into the evil of Megatron's red eyes as another explosion ran around them, knocking them off balance, but giving Optimus an opening. The leader of the Autobots delivered an uppercut to knock Megatron down. Optimus drew his blade as he approached his former friend before driving it right into Megatron's chest, causing the tyrant to yell in pain. However, another explosion knocked them both back.

At that moment, both of them felt a strong gravitational force not only pulling on them, but the Ark as well as the Nemesis.

"No! The portal!" Megatron exclaimed.

"The vortex is tearing the ship apart!" Optimus exclaimed as well.

The two tried to hold onto the deck as best as they could. Megatron tried to punch Optimus who responded with a kick.

"NO! I WILL NOT BE DENIED!" Megatron yelled as both he and Optimus lost their grip and were pulled into the portal.

It was not just them however as both the Ark and Nemesis tumbled and were pulled in by the strong gravitational force of the massive portal that would be collapsing at any moment. Explosions rang across the heavily damaged Ark, as well as the Nemesis, as they were both sucked into the portal which closed completely, leaving only quiet space behind.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the known universe, countless lightyears away from Cybertron, floating in the depths of space was a planet that was roughly one third the size of the metallic planet. A planet that was primarily covered with water with land masses scattered over. It had a single small moon in its orbit. This was the planet the natives called Earth.

Some distance away from the Earth's moon, a portal had opened. A massive and unstable portal; evident by the streaks of lightning that surged out around it as the Ark and Nemesis both came tumbling out of the portal. Both ships were heavily damaged, the Ark especially, from the fight; but being sent through an unstable portal did a number on both ships' systems.

The Nemesis tumbled through space as its engines were offline completely. The Decepticon warship found itself being pulled in by the gravity from the moon before it fell down and crashed; skidding along the barren surface of the smaller planetoid as parts of it fell off before it came to a screeching halt.

The Ark was not so lucky as it still kept going. The portal spat that ship out further away from the moon as it was heading directly towards the Earth. Optimus, who was still flying through space, tried to stabilize himself as he grabbed onto the outer haul of the ship as it spun out of control and countless Autobot soldiers were seen flying off and heading into space. Optimus wanted to grieve for all those valiant soldiers who put up the best fight they could, but he had to get back inside to help save those that remained.

Optimus tried to crawl along the surface as the Ark spun closer towards the Earth, but he felt something grab onto his leg. It was Megatron. The Ark had now entered the planet's atmosphere and was beginning its burning descent toward the surface. Optimus had kicked Megatron in the face, but he didn't let go; he kicked again and still did not let go. It was not until the third kick that Megatron was sent flying and burning through the atmosphere as he fell a distance away.

Optimus tried to crawl back into the ship as he saw an airlock near him open from the inside, where a black and red brawny Autobot reached out for Optimus to grab his hand, which he did, before his fellow Autobot pulled Optimus back into the ship and the airlock closed.

"Thank you, Ironhide." Optimus thanked his old friend.

"Thank me later, were about to crash!" Ironhide exclaimed as the two ran from their current position towards the bridge of the ship.

"Teletraan-1 is offline! Repeat Teletraan-1 is offline!" Fixit reported as Ratchet tried to manually stabilize the ship.

"Thrusters are destabilized, Energon capacity is at an all-time low!" Ratchet tried his best to keep the ship from falling apart. It wasn't long before Optimus and Ironhide ran onto the bridge.

"Ratchet, what is the status?!" Optimus questioned as he got to the controls.

"We're going to crash, and we cannot avert it!" Ratchet exclaimed as the display showed the Ark passing through the cloud cover and closer towards a large body of water, which was known to the humans as the Pacific Ocean.

Optimus knew this was inevitable, and there was only one possible way to save what surviving Autobots were onboard. He accessed his comns and shot his voice through the Ark's speakers.

"Optimus Prime to all surviving Autobots! We are about to crash land onto this planet! Prepare to enter an emergency stasis mode!"

Ratchet, Ironhide, and Fixit each looked towards Optimus with surprise.

"Stasis?! That's the best you can come up with?!" Ironhide questioned

"Unfortunately, my friend." Optimus replied. "You, as well as Ratchet and Fixit should do the same." He took the manual controls. "I'll steer the Ark as best I can, but you must enter stasis now!"

They could see the look in Optimus' optics and knew that they couldn't change his mind on this. "Very well." Ratchet relented as he grabbed Fixit in his hand before he and Ironhide left the bridge.

The Ark had crashed into the water as it sunk deeper into the ocean with Optimus doing his best to manage a controlled crash as the ship continued to sink deeper into the water and closer to the ocean floor. He saw the ocean floor coming closer and he could only close his eyes.

"Till all are one."

Then everything went black.

It was night time within a forested area just on the outskirts of a large and decorated city. To those who lived on this planet, this city was known as Pendragon, the capital of the Holy Empire of Britannia, one of the three leading super powers of the planet Earth. At least three or four miles away from the capital were two boys who were running through the forest outside the capital. They were both dressed in attire that would make one belief they were royalty, in fact they were. They appeared to be no less than seven maybe eight years old at the most. One had short sandy brown hair while the other had longer blonde hair; both had light colored skin and purple eyes.

As the two ran, the brown-haired boy stopped to catch his breath by the tree. "Big Brother… I have to… I... I can't run anymore." The young boy said in between breaths.

"We have to keep moving Charles." The blonde boy spoke to his apparent older brother. "Mother is dead, father doesn't appear to care, and everyone else is fighting. If we don't keep running, we'll die to."

Charles looked toward his older twin brother with tear-filled eyes. "I… I just wanna go home."

"We can't." He took his brother's hands. "It's just you and me. You remember our promise? Our promise to never lie to each other?" Charles nodded as his brother continued. "Were brothers, and brothers look out for each other. Okay?"

Charles wiped the tears from his eyes as he smiled. "Okay." The two smiled, but there was a light above them that caught their attention.

The twin brothers looked toward the sky in awe as they saw a flaming projectile fall from the night sky and land outside the forest, creating an explosion that could be seen outside the trees, and it almost knocked the two off their feet.

"What was that?!" Charles exclaimed in fear.

"I don't know… but… lets go check it out."

As the older brother ran, Charles ran after him. "Big brother, wait for me!"

The two ran out of the forest where they came to a clearing and all they could see a large and smoking crater. The boys slowly and cautiously walked towards the hole and when they looked down, they saw something that made their eyes go wide.

It appeared to be a large, silver, metallic being. He was heavily damaged, most likely from a fight, with a large fusion cannon attached to his arm and carried large spikes coming from his shoulders. He had large gashes over his body as a purple liquid seemed to be 'bleeding' out of him. His appearance was enough to force the boys to back in fear.

"What… what is… that?" Charles questioned in shaky and scared tone.

"I don't know…" The older brother slowly walked toward the hole and looked down to see this metallic being. "Maybe… some kind of…. Mech suit?"

"I don't think so." Charles replied. "No one has something like this."

Before the boys could ponder further, this being's eyes shot open as he gave a loud yell and shot his body. The two boys backed away in fear before they quickly ran back to the nearest trees and hid behind them. They looked to see the metal giant attempting to stand only for him to fall on his knees, he was in pain.

"What… what is this?" The being spoke as he looked around at his surroundings. "Where am I?" He accessed his comns. "Megatron to Nemesis, report." There was no reply, only static. "Megatron to Nemesis, report! Soundwave! Do you read me?!" Still nothing. He grunted before attempting to stand once more, looking toward the stars.

Megatron did not recognize any of these star formations. Where ever the portal took him, it was very far away from Cybertron. He grunted as he felt the wound on his side. "Optimus." Megatron tried to walk as he stumbled but stood firm. He continued to limp in order to find a spot where he could recuperate and formulate his next step.

Meanwhile, Charles and his older brother looked out from the trees as they saw the giant walk away. "Did that thing… talk?" Charles questioned.

"Megatron…I… I think that's his name." The brother said.

"What is he?"

"I don't know. But I want to find out."

It was daytime on Earth as Megatron had found a cave large enough for him to fall back and rest. Now that he could rest, he could think a bit more clearly. He remembered before the Exodus how Shockwave reported he found a primitive world rich with Energon and opened a portal via an ancient Space Bridge tower in the Sea of Rust. This was that world. There would be plenty of Energon here, and he knew the Nemesis was present along with his army as he saw his ship crash land on this planet's moon.

Of course, this also meant Optimus was more than likely here as he and the Ark made it through as well. However, the Ark was heavily damaged during the fight, so the odds of any Autobots surviving were very little. But still, a part of him had hoped Optimus survived, just so that he could snuff out his spark himself.

Megatron felt along the wound from when Optimus stabbed him during their battle and could already feel that his own Dark Energon was all but depleted. His greatest source of power spent, the only thing that saved him from not only being crushed by Metroplex earlier, but what prevented him from dying from the fall to this planet's surface. The Decepticons' own Dark Energon reserves were all but depleted as well; if and when Soundwave found him, he would likely be given natural Energon to replace what he had lost. He sighed in exhaustion and frustration. However, his eyes caught movement outside the cavern's entrance.

Megatron pointed his fusion cannon toward the entrance. "Come out! Reveal yourself!"

The same two boys who found Megatron the previous night slowly came out from their hiding spot and into Megatron's viewpoint with their hands in the air. Charles was clearly the most frightened while his older brother, though he too was scared, had a defiant look on his face.

"We… we're not going to harm you." The older brother said. "And I'm not certain we can."

Megatron observed the two boys with interest. They were organic lifeforms. Though he and Orion Pax learned of the possibility of organic lifeforms on other planets this was the first time he'd ever seen one, or two in this case.

"Tell me, what is the name of this planet?" Megatron queried as he lowered his fusion cannon, as these two clearly posed no threat to him.

"This… is… Earth." Charles stuttered. "Are… are you… an alien?"

"As I do not hail from your world than yes, I am what you refer to as an 'alien'. Though in my perspective, you are alien to myself."

"Where are you from?" Charles asked. Megatron did not answer.

"My brother asked you a question." The older boy stated.

"And I choose not to answer." Megatron replied. "I do not have to answer to smaller creatures such as yourself."

Charles backed away slightly while his brother only looked angry as he was just insulted. "How dare you! I am Victor Zi Britannia, and this is my brother Charles Zi Britannia, heirs to the imperial throne of the Holy Empire of Britannia!"

"Britannia?" Megatron questioned. "You said your planet's name was Earth."

"It is." Charles, still scared, replied shyly. "It's just our nation's name is Britannia."

Nation? Megatron looked rather intrigued. So, this world's rule was divided? Much like how Cybertron was between his Decepticons and the Autobots. Was it similar? Or was it different? However, before anything could be pondered further, a flash of light shinned outside the cave as Megatron, Charles, and Victor both looked towards the light as it turned into a swirling green portal. A Space Bridge.

Out from the portal, were two Vehicon troopers and a third Decepticon. This one was different from any other Decepticon, or Cybertronian for that matter. He was sleek and thin, and quite tall. But his most prominent feature was his face, or lack of thereof. It appeared he had no face at all and all that was there was a black visor.

"Soundwave." Megatron acknowledged as the two Vehicons were by their leader's side; while the two young boys stuck to the wall of the cave.

"Lord Megatron. You're still alive!" They tried to help him to his feet, but he was able to stand on his own.

"Of course, I'm alive, you fool." Megatron told his subordinate.

"Sir." The second Vehicon began to report. "The Nemesis has crashed onto this planet's moon. Though its engines and motor controls are inoperable, the ship's navigational systems are still active. And thanks to Soundwave's own surveillance abilities we were able to locate your signal. Sir."

"Excellent work Soundwave." Megatron congratulated his surveillance chief who nodded in response. However, the silent Decepticon turned his 'face' toward the two boys who were pressed against the wall in fear.

The two Vehicons saw this as well and readied their blasters. "Lord Megatron, we have an infestation!"

"Stand down." Megatron ordered, causing the two Vehicons to lower their weapons. "These are natives of this planet." He looked toward the two young boys and he could see something in their eyes, despite the obvious fear they had, there was a spark inside. A drive, something that didn't seem too dissimilar to his own. "Perhaps they may be of use to us." Megatron stated with an evil smile.

34 Earth Years Later (a.t.b. 1997)

"All hail Emperor Charles Zi Britannia! 98th Emperor of the Holy Empire of Britannia!" A royal guard announced in the throne room. "Long may he reign!"

"All hail Charles! All hail Charles! All hail Charles! All hail Charles!"

These cheers echoed throughout the entire massive throne room from which the new emperor, Charles Zi Britannia, now the age of 42 sat. He was much taller and larger than before; his hair was longer, stretching down to his shoulders with a small goatee on his chin. He was dressed in primarily red and white clothing fit for an emperor with a purple cape hanging from his back.

However, despite all the dozens of nobles cheering his name as he had now become the emperor of Britannia, his face bore no emotion at all. It as if this entire accomplishment was empty.

After the coronation was complete Charles walked the grounds of the Royal Palace alone. He walked along the path that was lined by runes and ancient sculptures for some time until he felt a vibration along his side. He pulled out a small hand-held device that bore the Decepticon insignia before pressing the symbol and a six-foot-tall hologram of Megatron appeared in front of him. Charles made a bowing gesture.

"Lord Megatron."

"Charles." Megatron gave an amusing chuckle. "Or should I say… Emperor Charles Zi Britannia. You are now the single and undisputed leader of your nation. I imagine this must be quite the accomplishment for you."

"I have you to thank for that, Lord Megatron." Charles replied. "You taught me everything I know."

Megatron noticed the tone in Charles' voice. "You do not seem very impressed by your feat. Is that not what you wanted?"

"This victory feels rather empty." Charles replied. "Compared to the vast reaches of the universe, Britannia seems rather insignificant. And even then, its only represents one third of this miserable planet; everyone, including the people of this nation, continue to fight with no end in sight. Seems rather small when compared to the grand scheme of things."

"Perhaps." Megatron stated. "But even then, I started out as a gladiator before I began my campaign. We both have started with nothing but will soon gain everything! It may take some time, but with my help, you shall subjugate this world and bring the humans to their knees! We shall build an empire that will not only span the Earth… but every inhabitant world across the universe! Your name will forever be engraved in Decepticon history!"

Charles smiled. "Everything I know, everything that I am now, is from your teachings. You made me the man that I am today." The new Britannian emperor said in honest truth. "And while I may not say it to anyone else, I fight in the name of the Decepticons and I will bring this world to its knees, all in your name, Lord Megatron." Charles bowed to his mentor one final time.

"In due time my protegee." Megatron said. "For now, savor your victory for you have earned it. Your brother would be proud of you." The hologram cut off as Charles put the device back in his pocket.

Charels' attention was soon caught by the neigh sounds of a pair of horses. He looked towards a nearby lake as two young women, dressed in Equestrian outfits, rode a pair of horses across the grassy field before they came to a stop and dismounted their horses.

One of the girls was the age of sixteen, she had black hair tied back in a yellow bow tie with beautiful violet eyes and fair skin. The other girl had the same appearance with white skin and creamy yellow eyes, but what stood out was her long green hair.

"Charles."

The new emperor looked down the hill and saw his brother, who still bore the appearance of a ten-year-old boy. He wore blue royal clothing and his blonde hair that stretched all the way to his feet.

"Victor." Charles greeted his brother as he walked toward him.

"You know that is not my name anymore, Charles." The seemingly young boy said. "I gave that up long ago."

Charles bore a humorous smile. "Forgive me big brother, but the name V.V. sounds like what you would give a machine."

The boy now named V.V. laughed slightly. "So, tell me Charles, have you learned anything by becoming Emperor?"

Charles' smile vanished. "Yes, big brother. From what I did to become Emperor and from what we learned from Megatron: all the people of this world are liars, and this vast nation we call Britannia never changes."

"That may be true, but it's just human nature, isn't it?" V.V. asked.

"Not just human nature. Cybertronians, though advanced, seem to fall under those base feelings." Charles replied.

"Hence the name Decepticons." V.V. said. "Are you certain Megatron doesn't know anything?"

"I am big brother." Charles confirmed. "He is not aware that you have become immortal even now, and nor does he know of our plan, which could take years to finish." He laughed slightly. "Ironic, here I was chasing others for lying yet we both got to where we are now with lying and deception."

"We did learn from the best after all." V.V. stated. "But you won't forget will you Charles? Our contract?"

"I know. To kill God and smash this entire universe of lies." Charles said with a dark and empty look in his eyes.

"Charles!"

He and V.V. looked to see the dark-haired girl waving toward him, with the green haired girl next to her. "Come on over here! You should really see this amazing view of the palace!"

He smiled. "I'm coming Marianne." Charles walked over to join them. Though he seemed ignorant to the look V.V. gave when he looked in Marianne's direction. However, V.V. wouldn't let his jealousy get in the way of Charles' personal victory today.

"It really is amazing. V.V. thought to himself as he chuckled. "Just how much you can do with Geass."

Done.

So, with this I finally begin my "Code Prime" story! I have been waiting for this for quite some time!

I won't say anything to spoil what may come in future chapters (not yet anyway) but here is what I will say.

Megatron was the personal mentor to both Charles Zi Britannia as well as his brother V.V., hence why the man was so ruthless in the series. Though the leader of the Decepticons seems unaware of Victor becoming V.V. (Note: I know that in the official series V.V.'s name is never spoken, and we don't see it on the official wikia site, so I just decided to name him Victor)

And in the prologue, we are introduced to Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Ratchet, Bulkhead, Ironhide, even Fixit. (I know Fixit only appears in RID 2015, but I like his character, so he will be part of Team Prime when I post chapter 1 of my story). Don't worry we'll see plenty of other fan favorite Autobots and Decepticons as the story progresses. I'll let you know who shows up and when as I go on. But for now, I hope you enjoy this prologue and I look forward to writing the first chapter as we are introduced to one of the greatest anime protagonists of all time.

Happy Holidays! And Transform and Roll Out!
