Autobot Outpost Omega One ruins, Mt. Moon, Kanto

Some Insecticons were digging up the burning pieces of the destroyed base. In search to see if Megatron has successfully terminated Optimus Prime and the Autobots.

"Leave no stone unturned!" Megatron commanded as he watch. He still had no arm from his last battle with Optimus.

"Master." Starscream spoke from afar. Megtron turned to see him, Blackout, Demolisher, and two Vehicons approaching him. The Vehicons were dragging someone. "Look who we found. Pulled from the wreckage of his ship." Starscream said, stepping aside. "Ultra Magnus."

Ultra Magnus groaned in pain.

"So, one survived, the leader of the Wreckers. Take our 'guest' to the citadel for questioning. Back to Dark-Moon." Megatron said. He turned back to face his newly constructed fortress. Now that Mt. Moon is demolished, the area has now been newly renamed, Dark-Moon. The Vehicons dragged him away to the fortress.

"This is the dawning of a new age, my Liege. The reign of Megatron." Starscream said.

"You do have a way with words, Starscream." Megatron looked at the Decepticons that were digging out the Base. "Make haste! Unearth the other Autobot corpses!"

While the Decpeticons were removing debris after debris, elsewhere, Optimus laid within the rubble. Trying to stay online. Two Vehicons recovered Airachnid. She was still in the stasis pod. They also found the rock containing Deoxys and the Forge of Solus Prime.

Megatron, however, was not pleased. "The Forge of Solus Prime?! How is it that you have managed to materialize that, yet not the remains of a single Autobot?!"

"Answer your lord and master!" Starscream threatened. "Where are their bodies?!"

Demolisher grew static to terrify the Vehicons.

The underground caverns of Dark-Moon (Mt. Moon)

Smokescreen phased his upper half through the the cavern wall. His partners, Iris and Axew sat on his shoulder. "Who knew humans and Pokemon were able to phase through things just like you." Iris said.

"Yeah. As long as you remain in physical contact with me." Smokescreen replied. "But this is where you get off." They jumped off his shoulder. "And Iris, get Dragonite ready." He went back inside the wall.

Iris called out her Dragonite. Smokescreen phased back, carrying a brutally damaged Optimus Prime. Dragonite help Smokescreen lay the Prime down against some rock.

Optimus opened his optics. "That should look way worse than you feel." Smokescreen said.

Optimus tried to get up. "No! Don't move or talk. Just power down or something. Anything to get your strength back up." Iris said.

"Don't worry, Prime. Iris, Axew, and I gotcha covered."

The Autobot Base ruins

Megatron and Starscream, Blackout, and Demolisher made their way to Dark-Moon. "The Autobots clearly Ground Bridged from their Base before it was destroyed. They could be anywhere." Megatron said.

"We must initiate global surveillance, my Lord. Send search and destroy teams to every sector of this planet." Starscream insisted.

Megatron contacted the Nemesis. "Soundwave, monitor all Earth-based transmissions for any sign of Autobot communication. With each other or with their human counterparts."

They came across Boncrusher. Who was lifting a piece a debris, looking for Autobot remains. Suddenly Bonecrusher got a whiff of something. "Aggron!"

"Master." Starsceam said, looking to the northwest. Along with Blackout and Demolisher.

Megatron looked at the direction the others were looking. On Route 3, there were tanks, helicopters, and military trained Pokemon were charging their way to Dark-Moon.

"Foolish humans and Pokemon. Unlike you, my superior Pokemon counterparts." Starscream looked at the trio. "I shall deploy the armada."

"That won't be necessary, Starscream. Not when we can engage with new found might." Megatron said, looking up at the highest point on Dark-Moon.

At the very top of Dark-Moon was four fusion cannons. Each facing the four different directions. The one that was positioned to the north began to charge up as it detected the approaching threat. Megatron devilishly smirked. When the army got within its firing range, it fired at the center of the army. It pulled all the tanks, helicopters and military trained Pokemon in. When they were all clustered up in a ball. Then there was a massive explosion. In the aftermath, the blast no only took out the army, but Pewter City and Route 3 was caught in the crossfire of the blast. There was nothing but ruins in Pewter City and on Route 3.

Dark-Moon

Megatron sat at his throne on the spire of Dark-Moon. With his original arm reattached to him. Dead End sat on Megaton's lap as he stroked Dead End's fur. Megatron contacted Agent Jenny. "A new power dominates your world. Any further attempts to attack me will be met with even greater force. Your leadership be advised that my fusion cannons possess enough firepower to desimate any populated area of my choosing.

Jenny's military office, military base, Route 11

"I would in all likelihood to set sights on your nation's capitol, Tokyo, for starters." Megatron said.

"Point taken. Now what do you want from us?" Jenny asked, sitting behind her desk. Her Arcanine laid behind her.

"Nothing, Agent Jenny. The Decepticons mean no harm to humanity."

Dark-Moon

"We merely desire a place to call 'home'."

"No offense, Megatron, but I'm having a tough time buying all of this."

Jenny's military office

"Since you seem so open on plastering human and Pokemon-kind under molten steel!" She said, slamming her fist on her desk.

Her Arcanine howled in agreement.

"Agent Jenny."

Dark-Moon

"I admit that war brings out the worst in me, but the conflict with the Autobots is now over. And our quarrel has never been with your kind. Now that the one true enemy of the Decepticons is no more, my only wish is to coexist on this planet with the human and Pokemon races... peacefully."

Jenny's military office

"Together, Agent Jenny, I believe that you and I can make that dream a reality." Megatron hung up.

Jenny thought about it. Her Arcanine whimpered and rested his head on her lap. She rubbed his head. "I know. I don't know if he's telling the truth or not."

Dark-Moon

Megatron stood up from his throne. Dead End jumped off of his lap. Megatron walked toward the platform of the spire with Starscream and the rest of Pokecons. Starscream, Demolisher, and Bonecrusher applauded to Megatron.

"You too have a way with words, Master. I almost believed you myself." Starscream said.

Megatron laughed, looking upon the earth. "Earth, is our planet now, Starscream. And we shall finish what we started. Human and Pokemon-kind have no idea what lies ahead for them."

Jenny's military office

Agent Jenny was talking to her superior on the phone. "Yes, General Komuro. Special containment protocol: G-1000 has been executed as plan. Evacuation of Pewter City and Cerulean City was 100% successful. Even though Pewter City got caught in the crossfire of the I think it's safe to say that it's better safe to evacuate Cerulean City as well than sorry. But as far as the citizens and the media is concerned for both cities in between the Decepticon fortress, the threat was a meteor shower and that both cities and Mt. Moon, well, what's left of it, are to remain quarantined until the resulting radiation levels can be decapitated."

She paused for the general to say something.

"Sir, any form of retaliation will be too risky. I just need more time!"

She stopped again to hear whatever the general has to say.

"Yes I understand." She hung up.

Shortly after, Delia Ketchum entered. "Agent Jenny, those medical supplies still haven't arrived. We have wounded men and Pokemon out there. Professor Oak is trying his best to heal both-"

"I'm doing the best I can, Miss Ketchum! I've been a little busy juggling with a bunch of nuke-happy generals who don't seem to care if they blow up half of Kanto sky high and Decepticon warlord who wants to make nice now that the Autobots are in the scrap yard. Megatron's opinion, not mine." Jenny went off from her chair and faced out the window. "He's feeding me a lot of Rapidash manure, trying to crush our spirit."

"Still no word, from anyone?" Delia asked.

Jenny looked back to reassure Delia. "Listen; no contact only tells me is that the main com-link went down when the Base was pounded into pancake batter

"But if can just call Ash or Dawn-"

"You know it's too risky, so do the Autobots. The Decepticons can trace any cellphone signal.

"Then take I'm going back to Pallet Town. If Ash or Dawn can't call, then they're bound to go there or Twinleaf Town. Where Johanna is at."

"Pallet Town and Viridian City are the closest locations to Dark-Moon. If any of the 'Bots are spotted in either of those locations, the 'Cons will swarm in and overpower them. Probably take down Pallet and Viridian at the same time. The only thing Prime and his 'Bots can do is come up with a stealth plan." Jenny looked out the window. "It's the only way they can fix this mess. I'm sure they're out there keeping a low profile. They got to be."

Route 119, Hoenn

A Vehicon was flying high in the sky. Scanning vehicles on a small interstate below. He was trying to identify them as Autobots or not. "Scanning." He scanned a blue truck, a white pick-up, and a black Camaro with yellow stripes. "Negative. No Autobot recognition." He circled around and made his way back to Dark-Moon.

Meanwhile, down on the interstate the same Camaro pulled over into the woods. Max exited the passenger seat and looked to the sky. "Clear." Max said. Bumblebee transformed into his robotic form with a new finish.

Bumblebee moved some tree branches and saw the Vehicon was long gone. *That was close, huh, Max?* Bumblebee asked.

"Too close. But your new paint job did the trick." Max said.

*I'm trying to reach Base, but there's nothing but static.*

"Then the com's up-link is still down. 'Bee, I realize Optimus has sent us to different locations to make us harder for the Decepticons to find, but if we don't know where in the world anyone else went, how are we gonna find them?"

*Go to the one place that the 'Con's will never suspect to find us.*

"Right. Just keep heading to Mt. Moon." Max then grew a worried look on his face. "Towards Megatron's giant fortress."

Bonitaville, Johto

Cliffjumper was parked in a mall parking garage. Piplup was sitting in the back seat. "Pip? Piplup!" Soon Dawn and Gabby approached him. Dawn had Gabby's hand in one hand and a bunch of bags in her other hand. And Gabby for some reason, had a tinfoil hat on her head.

Dawn placed the bags on the floor and opened the passenger door. She reclined the seat forward. She looked at Gabby. "Okay, Sweetie. Time to go."

"Okay, Mommy." Gabby replied.

Dawn lifted Gabby and carefully placed her in the car seat. Buckling her up and everything. "Is she strapped in good?" Cliffjumper asked.

"Yup. No need to worry." Dawn said as she put the bags in the back seats and reclined the passenger seat back. She sat in. Cliffjumper drove off.

"Wait a minute. Why does Gabby have that tinfoil paper on her head?"

"Well, it was at the mall, there were these sci-fi fanboys who had their own stand of authentic alien stuff. Which you can tell is a bunch of knock offs, but they had my attention when they were saying about how tinfoil can shield people's brains from laser and other weird alien stuff. Since the Decepticons might be tracking her because of the Dark Energon in her DNA, I thought what the heck, it might work."

"Dawn, that is crazy! Yet it might be working. Because if the Decepticons are tracking her, they would have been all over us by now."

Route 7, Unova

Wheeljack and Misty sat on a grassy mountain slope. "What are doing here?" Misty asked.

"We are waiting, I am drinking." Wheeljack replied, chugging down the last bit of the Energon he has left.

"Waiting? Waiting for what?"

"The rest of the Wrecking team."

Twist Mountain, near Unova Route 7

Bulkhead was driving on one of the rocky trails. In the back seat, May's Munchlax, Manaphy, and Hitmonchan were eating some poffins. While May sat in the passenger seat, completely bored. "I never knew this mountain was so twisted."

May then pulled out her cellphone. She was pushing some buttons when... "MAY!" Bulkhead shouted, slamming the brakes. Luckily she and her Pokemon were buckled in, but it pulled them. "No cellphone! You know the rules!"

"Bulk', I wasn't calling anyone. Just playing a video game I already downloaded." May showed him the game she was playing.

"Sorry. I guess I'm a little on edge." Bulkhead said. Suddenly Manaphy began to cry vigorously. Then her two antennas began to glow red. "Oh, scrap. Not this again." Manaphy swapped Bulkhead and May's bodies. Bulkhead examined himself in May's body. "Ugh. Can you get Manaphy to switch us?"

"No way, Bulkhead. I am so bored that I don't mind driving for a few miles." May said. She stepped on the gas and drove off. "Where are we heading anyway? Because I have no idea where I'm driving towards. You've got some kind of plan?"

Bulkhead was looking out the window, but explained. "We're following standard Wrecker protocol."

"Which is?"

"An emergency plan we follow during the War. In case any Wrecker got stranded or separated from the unit. We'd always rendezvous at the exact same set of coordinates. Wheeljack should already be there. And if Magnus is still alive, he'll be there too."

"Okay." May said. "You know, Bulk, it's crazy that I can see where I'm driving and see a map of the place we're going." She continued to drive.

Dark-Moon

Ultra Magnus was taking deep breaths from the torturing from Starscream. "Don't stop now. I was just beginning to enjoy myself." Magnus said.

Starscream growled with frustration. "Believe me, Ultra Magnus, there's plenty more where that came from and you will tell me the location of your compatriots. Bonecrusher, use your head."

"Aggron!" Boncrusher used his horns to do some serious scratching on Magnus' chest plating. Not only did it scrapped off the finish, but his horns seared into his platting a little bit.

"No matter what it takes or how long."

"Like I told you, they weren't expecting me. They never bothered to fill me in. So go ahead. Knock yourself out." Magnus said, smirking.

Meanwhile at the spire, Knock Out approached Megatron's throne. Megatron sat and again with Dead End on his lap. "How may I serve you, Lord Megatron?" Knock Out bowed.

"Assemble a team and disembark for Cybertron immediately. While hunting Autobots remains paramount, we must not squander the opportunity of any Iacon relics left behind in the chaos." Megatron said, patting Dead End on the head. "For all we know, Optimus Prime is still out there somewhere... planning to do the same."

Just then a Decepticon contacted him, "Lord Megatron, we lost the signal of the girl who possess Dark Energon."

"It is not a matter we should put first in our agendas. Eventually, that child will show up."

The underground cavern

Smokescreen, Iris, and Axew sat patiently for Optimus to come around. Soon Optimus was indeed coming around. They went up to him.

"It's okay, Optimus." Smokescreen said.

"You're safe with us. Iris, Axew and Smokescreen." Iris said.

Axew crawled next to Optimus face and nuzzled his face.

"How did... I get here?" Optimus asked.

"When we were evacuating the Base, just as the Decepticons were gonna open fire..."

Flashback, Autobot Base, Mt. Moon, Smokescreen's POV

Ratchet set the coordinates for Smokescreen, Iris, and Axew to Ground Bridge out of the Base. "It was our turn to Ground Bridge away." Smokescreen saluted to Optimus. He then transformed into his Mazda Furai mode and Iris, with Axew hidden in her hair, went in. Smokescreen drove through the Ground Bridge.

Route 214, Sinnoh

The Ground Bridge vortex appeared and Smokescreen drove out of it. Suddenly he slammed the brakes. He transformed and had Iris and Axew in one hand. He looked at them and sighed. "But I couldn't do it. I couln't let you face Megatron's army alone. I insisted that Iris and Axew should stay behind, but they they were firm on stay together." He placed Iris and Axew on the ground and gestured them to stay, but they shook their heads.

"Because we are a team!" Iris shouted over Smokescreen's story.

"Hey!"

"Sorry."

Smokescreen then looked back at the Ground Bridge vortex. He placed the Phase Shifter on his wrist and Iris and Axew on his shoulder. He sprinted through the vortex. "So we snuck back."

Autobot Base ruins

"But that's when the blast hit and the whole joint came tumbling down."

The trio gasped at the sights of their Base. Suddenly they spotted Optimus' arm sticking out of the wreckage.

"We managed to pull you from the wreckage before the 'Cons found you.

End Flashbacks

"All by using the Phase Shifter which I managed to snag in all of the confusion back on Cybertron." Smokescreen finished his story.

"Well that explains why it was a bumpy ride when we Bridge back to the Base, you do know me and Axew were still in that pod. Gosh, Smokescreen, you're just like a little kid." Iris said.

"I'm sorry about that, Iris. And we are all sorry that we defied your orders." Smokescreen apologized. Optimus continued to struggle on staying awake. "We're safe here, but we're down so deep that no one can pick up our signals. And a good thing for Iris and Axew, there are some tiny vents that is allowing them to get a circulated air supply. I'll have to scout above ground if we're gonna have any hope of finding Ratchet." He got up and was about to head for the surface.

"No." Optimus said, weakly. Smokescreen looked back at him. "No hope."

"What do you mean?" Iris asked.

"Axew?"

"The doc's the only one who can get you patched up." Smokescreen said. Optimus wasn't responding. "Optimus?"

An ore factory, Hoenn

Arcee pulled in the factory to rest. Thankfully it was closed down. Ash and Pikachu got off of her. Ash however was worried about his mother. "What if the Decepticons took over Pallet Town. She could be hurt or taken by them."

Pikachu tries to get his attention. "Pikachu. Pika pika."

Arcee also tries. "Ash."

"And even if she is somewhere safe, she's got to be worried out of her mind for Dawn, Gabby, and me. Not knowing where we are. Now I'm worried for my wife and daughter."

Arcee transformed. "Ash, calm down. We'll get back to Kanto, find a way to reach your mother, then your family, and the rest of the team." She heard some helicopter noise in the distance. "You two stay here. It could be a Decepticreep on our tail." She jumped over a concrete wall and transformed into her motorcycle mode. She projected a holographic image of an officer and drove to the origin of the helicopter sound.

"Pika pika. Pikachu pika."

Ash sighed. "You're right, buddy. I shouldn't worry about Dawn or Gabby. They have Cliffjumper and Piplup to watch their backs." He paused for a moment and took out his cellphone. He scrolled through the contact list to his mother's number. "Sorry, Mom. I'd call if I could." He looked at Pikachu. "Oh, one text couldn't hurt, could it?"

"Pika pika. Pi pikachu."

The Nemesis

Soundwave was monitoring for any communications of the Autobots or their allies. Until he intercepted the text message Ash sent to his mother. Starscream was there and smirked.

Starscream contacted Megatron. "Master."

Dark-Moon

"We have located Arcee's human pet."

"Send in the troops. And deploy Blackout." Megatron ordered. He got off oh his throne. Dead End jumped off his lap. "And Soundwave, I want a live feed." He transformed into his Cybertronian jet mode and flew down to the Nemesis. The ship was docked at the lower part of the fortress.

The Nemesis

Soundwave deployed Laserbeak. Sending him with two Vehicons. Starscream ordered Blackout Blackout to go with them as well.

Medical ward, military base

Delia was helping Prof. Oak carry out medical supplies for the survivors of the fusion cannon blast. She just finished telling him everything about the Autobots, Ash and his friends relations with the Autobots, and how she got involved in it. All except for Gabby's unique gift, because Ash and Dawn never told her about that.

"That's very interesting, Delia. Do you have any idea where any of them are now?" Prof. Oak asked.

Delia sadly looked at the floor. "No." At that moment she got a text. She opened her cellphone and read it. she gasped. "It's Ash! 'Pikachu and I are safe with Arcee. Everybody else should be safe with their Autobot partners, but I don't know where they are. Love you'." She sighed with relief. She quickly ran out the ward and made her way to Jenny's office. "Agent Jenny! They're alright!"

"Which one was Arcee again? Was it the Mooncraft racer?" Prof. Oak asked himself. Still confused on which Autobot was which.

The ore factory

Ash put his cellphone away as son as the message was sent. Pikachu then got wind of something unfriendly coming from behind them. He charged static from his red cheeks. "Piiiikaaaaa!"

Ash looked at the direction Pikachu was facing and saw a Vehicons and Blackout flying straight for them. "Scrap." Ash said. He took a Poke-Ball from his belt. "Charizard, take down Blackout."

Charizard remembered being defeat by Blackout from their last battle for the Red Energon. Charizard attack Blackout with full force. While the Vehicon swooped down attempting to hit Ash and Pikachu with his blaster fire. Pikachu used Thundershock which knocked the Vehicon's aim.

Meanwhile, Arcee drove behind a boulder and transformed. She crouched behind the boulder for cover. she readied her blaster pistol. She saw the helicopter. It was a traffic reporter copter. She sighed. "Civilian." She heard explosions coming from the factory behind her. She saw the Vehicons were flying low shooting and Charizard dogfighting Blackout. "Ash! Pikachu!" She transformed and accelerated as fast as she could.

Ash and Pikachu managed to take cover between two tall piles of rocks. Ash noticed the Vehicons were circling around. "We are so toast." They climbed a fence. Before they can jump off, the Vehicons fire near them. The impacts caused them to be tossed of the fence.

They ran for a garage nearby. The Vehicons blasted a power line tower near them. Narrowly missing them. They leaned against the garage. Ash spotted Laserbeak watching them.

The Nemesis

Starscream, Soundwave and Mindwipe watched Laserbeak's feed. "Smile Pikachu, we're on Decepticon TV." Ash said.

"Piiikaaa!"

"Master." Starscream looked and saw Megatron watching them. "We have a visual."

The garage

Ash and Pikachu took cover underneath a truck trailer. The Vehicons blasted the trailer away. Exposing the two in open. One of the Vehicons opened fire at them. Just as the blast shots were about to hit them, Arcee transformed and grabbed them. She slid on the ground. She looked at Ash and Pikachu in her arms. They were safe.

Arcee placed them down and returned fire on the Vehicons.

The Nemesis

"How long does it take to exterminate a lone Autobot and her organic pets?" Megatron asked, annoyed of Arcee intervening.

Starscream then explained. "Well, in my experience-"

"NOT a riddle, Starscream!"

"Uh-heh. Sorry."

The garage

Arcee looked around and spotted gas station nearby. She transformed. Ash and Pikachu got on her. She drove past the station and took cover behind a pump.

"Not the best cover." Ash said to Arcee.

"We're not here to hide." Arcee replied with a devilish smirk on her face.

The Vehicons soared in. They transformed and landed with their blaster ready. They crouched to see the Ash holding two hoses. The hoses were leaking gas.

"Hey, guys! Unleaded or diesel?" Ash asked. The Vehicons noticed there was a buddle of gas flowing between them. He tossed the hoses down and for cover.

The Vehicons were about to fire when Arcee shot first. Her shot hit the puddle of gas. Taking out the gas station and the two Vehicons. Arcee covered Ash and Pikachu from the blast. The smoke fried Laserbeak's circuits and caused him to crash.

The Nemesis

Megatron was furious when all they got from Laserbeak was static.

The gas station

"Let's roll before the sent reinforcements." Arcee said, transforming into her vehicle form.

"Wait! What about Charizard?" Ash look up at the sky.

Charizard grabbed Blackout by the tail and used Seismic Toss. Throwing the Pokecon hard to the ground. Before he could recover, Charizard landed on him, stepping on his his wing. Breaking it in the process. Blackout roared in pain. Charizard flew a feet above him and used Flamethrower. Knocking the Pokecon out. Chrizard let out a victory roar and fired flames in the air.

Ash laughed. "Good job, Charizard!" He pull out his Poke-Ball. "Return!" Charizard returned back in his Poke-Ball. Pikachu hopped on Ash's shoulder and He got on Arcee. She accelerated out of there.

The Omega Lock ruins, Cybertron

Knock Out was starring that the one and only building structure that was rebuild when Megatron was in control of the Omega Lock while the rest of the Vehicons were removing debris. Looking for any of the Relics.

"Come on, fellas. Put you're backs into it!" Knock Out shouted. Two Vehicons lifted a burnt, rusted piece of metal to reveal a Relic was underneath it. Knock Out went to examine it. "The Apex Armor. Our illustrious leader will be please. Now any sign of that Phase Shifter? I really like that thing." He began to look at the ground hoping he could find it himself.

A Vehicon noticed something in the distance ahead of them. "Sir! Look!"

Knock Out looked towards the direction the Vehicon was point at. "By the AllSpark!"

The Nemesis

Soundwave somehow managed to get Blackout's broken wing in a cast. Now he was in the process of repairing Laserbeak.

"Well? Did any of the surveillance data survive?" Megatron asked.

Starscream sighed. "A shame. We might have at least known the direction in which Arcee and her partners have fled."

"Aggron!" Bonecrusher bellowed behind Starscream.

"Clearly we need to improve our methods of hunting Autobots and build upon the tactical advantage we've managed to secure."

"Lord Megatron, I am ready to return to Dark-Moon and I'm certain you'll want to see what I've uncovered." Knock Out said.

"Soundwave, open a Space Bridge portal." Megatron ordered. Soundwave ceased his repairs on Laserbeak and remotely opened a Space Bridge right behind them. Knock Out emerged. "I find myself an urgent need of good news. So please, Knock Out, tell me you've found something useful."

"Somethings, my Liege and someone." Knock Out stepped aside.

A large figure was faded in the vortex, but was becoming visible. Followed with loud footsteps as the figure was almost out of the vortex. Starscream gasped, instantly figuring out who was emerging from the vortex. And he was right. Shockwave emerged from the vortex.

"He... lives?" Starscream was stunned.

"Shockwave?" Megatron chuckled. "Just the tactical advantage I need."
