Chapter 8 - Madalyn & Optimus & Sentinel vs. Shockwave & Cyclonus
Madalyn's P.O.V.
Optimus Prime and Sentinel Prime in their vehicle modes drove across the central highway of the city of Iacon. Well, what was left of it anyways. Since it became a Faction Zone between the Autobots and Decepticons, the city was nearly ripped apart. Streams of both regular energon and dark energon coursed through the lower streets of the city. Sentienel was leading me and Optimus through the city to a place called the Well of Allsparks. It said to be the most direct route to the core of Cybertron where Primus, and Megatron can be found.
Optimus: I can't believe everything that has changed to our world Sentinel.
Sentinel: It's a very difficult and complicated occurance. Allow me to explain. With the Infinity Core and the Silent core, it allowed Primus to identify the Cybertronians by the factions they were assigned in during the war. So when the six faction zones overlaped with each other, the allspark which brings life to Cybertron began to collapse and a new species of Cybertronians were made. For example, the ones we just witnessed earlier were a mixture of Autobots and Decepticons.
Madalyn: Yeah, that makes sense.
Sentinel: That included Airachnid and Terrorhawk from the Insecticon and Dinobot Zone, and Jolt and Laserbeak from the Minicon and Predacon Zone.
Optimus: They were of the same origin!
Sentinel: Yes. They were all created by the power of the negative energy from the silent core, as well as dark energon which Megatron used to corrupt the core. In turn, it makes these new Cybertronians evil to the spark and their job is to protect Megatron. These Transformers are freaks of nature and should have never been created. It's sad really, but I suppose we are all in a way, victums of Megatron's motives.
As they continued to drive, two objects could be seen coming towards us. One was a flyer, the other was a tank.
Madalyn: Oh no.....
Optimus and Sentinel came to a halt as they transformed into their robot modes, me appearing on Optimus's servo. The two Cybertronian alt modes stopped as well, the tank transforming into Shockwave and the Cybertronian jet transforming mid air and Cyclonus landed next to him.
Cyclonus: What was that? We're just Megatrons lackies Sentinel Prime?!
Shockwave: It's time that you learned your lesson old man.
Optimus: Get out of our way!
Cyclonus: Ah, ha, ha, ha! And who made you the boss Optimus?
Madalyn: Hey that's Optimus Prime to you freak! The leader of the Autobots so back off would ya?!
Optimus: Easy Madalyn, let us handle this.
Cyclonus: There is only one way to handle this, and that is to battle us. So if you think you're brave enough, bring it on!
Shockwave: You're defeat is most logical.
Sentinel: As you wish my friends. I've never backed down from a battle, and I'm not going to start now!
Sentinel brought out his sword and shield, raising his weapon in the air as he and Shockwave charged at each other. Sentinel was moving faster than Shockwave, causing him to leap forward and tackle the Decepticon and the two fell over the highway and splashed into a dark energon lake.
Madalyn: Whoa that was nuts! Are you okay down there Sentinel?!
Sentinel: No need to worry Madalyn. After living in this twisted version of our home for so long my body is immune to dark energon. Although I wouldn't recommend you touching it.
Madalyn: Wasn't planning on it big guy.
Optimus: Don't move, and whatever you do stay closer to me Madalyn and I'll protect you.
Madalyn: Thanks Optimus.
Cyclonus: You're mine Optimus Prime!
Cyclonus sprang into the air, transforming into his Cybertronian jet mode as he flew up into the sky, then swooped down full speed towards Optimus and me.
Optimus: This is it. Hold on tight.
Optimus placed me on his shoulder as his jetpack materialized on his back and he blasted off into the sky, dodging the strike from Cyclonus.
Madalyn: Ability card activate! Cyber Judgement!
I activated the ability card and a whirlpool of energon surrounded Optimus, powering him up and giving him a huge energy boost. Cyclonus launched himself into the air, transforming into his robot mode and hovered in the sky just a few feet away from us.
Cyclonus: Dark Eclipse!
He summoned a dark aura in his servos, firing the blast towards us as it surrounded Optimus's body. It took away Optimus's eneryg boost and transferred that power over to Cyclonus.
Optimus: He took away my power!
Cyclonus: Energon Toronado!
Cyclonus transformed back into his jet mode as he spung around sideways in circles, turning into a tonardo and flying straight for Optimus. He struck the Prime across the chest, knocking Optimus to the side. I held on to Optimus's shoulder, trying to not allow the force of the blast to not push me away. Optimus regained his focus as he hid behind a pillar of the highway, another blast striking the side of the pillar, nearly missing Optimus's face.
Optimus: He's using his Decepticon abilities to shut down my power which in turn increases his own. There's not much I can do to stop him.
Madalyn: Look up there Optimus!
The both of us turned our attention to another highway that was located above us to see Sentinel and Shockwave facing off against each other.
Shockwave: Sentinel you should have used some of your wisdom and turned back. Why do you insist on defying Megatron? Even you know you can't win this battle.
Sentinel: Allow me to teach you how to respect your elders. I've been waiting for a Transformers with a human to show up in our world.
Optimus activated his jetpack again as I perched myself on his shoulder. He flew up into the air, soaring towards the second highway.
Madalyn: Hang on Sentinel!
Sentinel: All of this destruction began when Megatron entered the human world. And the only way to save our world is for a Transformer to make contact with a human being. Do the math my friend!
Shockwave: Interesting. That would mean that you are of no use to me.
Shockwave aimed his cannon at the old Prime and open fired. The blast from his cannon struck Sentinel, sending him flying through the air and he crashed to the ground.
Madalyn: Sentinel Prime!
Scorch marks and cuts were all over Sentinels body. Shockwave laughed as he walked towards him, aiming his cannon in an attempt to finish the job. But Optimus swooped in just in time, picking up Sentinel and taking him to safety.
Optimus: You must hang on Sentinel.
Optimus flew the two os us nearly halfway across the city just to get us safely away from Shockwave and Cyclonus. He landed on the rooftop of a stable building and set Sentinel down on the floor.
Optimus: Sentinel, can you hear me?
Sentinel: I-- I think I'm getting too old for this. The old Wonder Revolution has come up and gone.
Optimus: Wonder Revolution? What do you mean?\
Sentinel: Listen closely and I'll explain. When our universe was created, there could be peace without a single battle. But then, one day something happened that would change everything. The ancient Cybertronians created a powerful generator that could effectively and safely draw power from Primus. That generator combined with the power of Primus created the Infinity and the Silent Cores. As the vorns went on, the Infinity and the Silent cores recorded events of Cybertronian history to adapt to the changes that were happening to the planet. When the war came along, it identified the different factions and implanted them inside the generator. That was the beginning of the end.
Madalyn: They did all of that?!
Sentinel: Yes. As the war raged on, the Factions were no longer safe to live amoung one another, so the Faction Zones were created for each of the Factions to live in their own area. Once Megatron attempted to infect Primus with dark enregon, you were there Optimus. You and your Autobot forces tried to stop him, but it ended up with Megatron destroying the generator. It collapsed which caused the blinding light that turned you all into cards and casted you all away to Earth. But somehow Megatron managed to stay behind on Cybertron and he discovered the power of the generator and the two cores.
Optimus: Unbelievable.
Sentinel: The Wonder Revolution was when Megatron became one with the Slient Core.
As Sentinel attempted to get up he collapsed back to the ground.
Madalyn: Sentinel!
Optimus: Be still my friend.
Sentinel: The only way to restore peace to the universe is for Transformers and humans to battle as one to destroy Megatron before he becomes master of the galaxy. You must hurry, time is not on our side. Now go--- quickly before it's-- too late....
Sentinel's body relaxed as he laid still on the ground. His optics flickered on and off until they completely blacked out and his paint job faded to a gun metal grey.
Madalyn: Sentinel....
Suddenly there was a loud blast as an explosion erupted in front of us. Optimus sheilded me from the ruble as the smoke cleared, revealing that Shockwave and Cyclonus were standing on the other side of the roof of the building.
Cyclonus: There you are. We thought we'd never find you. Did you really think you could hide from us?
Shockwave: Let's get this over with shall we?
Optimus: Then I say the sooner the better!
Madalyn: Sentinel Prime said that you two freaks were connected to that creep Megatron. Was that the reason why you just had to go out there and destroy him?! Revenge is mine for what you did to Sentinel!
I fired one of my game cards from my tablet and the card landed inbetween the four of us, landing in the middle of the roof. The card glowed and a red square grew bigger, glowing its shape across the roof before fading.
Madalyn: Let's do this Optimus. You show'em what you're made of.
Optimus: With pleasure Madalyn.
Optimus and Cyclonus both armed themselves with their weapons, a great sword and the Star Saber as they both ran full speed and charged straight for each other.
Madalyn: Game card open! Energon Merge!
Once Cyclonus stepped foot onto the game card, he instantly froze as the bright blue shining light washed over him.
Cyclonus: What's going on?! My powers are draining!
The bright blue light gathered up red energy from Cyclonus and began transferring that power over to Optimus, who also began glowing mixture of bright blue and red.
Madalyn: That's because your power is being transferred over to Optimus. Okay O.P. let's finish him off!
Optimus's Star Saber lit up with a dark blue glowing light. He swung his weapon and a blue streak of light shot out of the sword and went soaring straight for Cyclonus. But just when it looked like Cyclonus was going to be defeated, his servos began glowing a dark shade of purple. His powers struck the game card, giving it an eletrical shock and the game card faded away completely, including Optimus's blast.
Cyclonus: I am impressed, not! Your little tricks won't work on me Optimus Prime. Attack!
Cyclonus ran forward and swiped his sword at Optimus, striking him in the chest. I grabbed on to his shoulder and held on with all my might as Optimus crashed to the floor of the roof. I pulled myself up and spotted both Cyclonus and Shockwave coming towards us.
Shockwave: Now it is my turn.
Madalyn: I have to think of something quick. Take this you creeps!
I fired another game card onto the roof, it glowed and the outline of the card grew bigger in size and vanished into the floor.
Madalyn: Mind Ghost!
Within ordering the command, the game card exploded right where Shockwave and Cyclonus stood. A huge puff of smoke filled the area around us. I cheered at the sight, thinking that they were finally defeated. However, I saw a figure emerge from the smoke.
Madalyn: What?!
Shockwave emerged from the smoke, destroying the game card with his cannon.
Madalyn: How come that move didn't work?! How do you keep nullifying every game card I throw down?!
Shockwave: Foolish human. You cannot defeat us.
Shockwave readied his cannon again, opening fire on Optimus. Optimus picked me up in one servo and protected me like a shield, taking the blasts. The force from the blast sent him flying back, crashing to the floor and the force from the fall made me fall out of his servo. My body guilded across the floor, receiving scratches and bruises on my arms and the back of my body, nearly ripping my clothes.
Shockwave: This ends now!
Shockwave raised his cannon in the air and fired a shot. The purple streak of light soared through the sky and then exploded into grenades. They all fell around Optimus, erupting the ground at his feet. Optimus cried out in pain as he got down on his knees and hands, to keep him up from the floor.
Madalyn: Hey stop it!
Shockwave held fire and lowered his cannon, looking down as I ran towards him. I collapsed to the floor in front of him, placing my hands on his foot.
Madalyn: You've got to stop this, please! I'll do anything, just make it stop!
Shockwave: Get your filthy human hands off of me!
His red optic flashed as he swung his foot, lifting me up in the air and sent me flying back. I hit the ground, doing a couple barrell rolls before coming to a halt. My clothes had tears in them, they were dirting and my hair almost a complete mess. I could have sworn I was bleeding somewhere too. I didn't bother looking for the source, I was in so much pain.
Optimus: Madalyn!
Optimus had just enough energy to move a few inches forward, and he scooped me up in his servo. He looked down at me and I could have sworn I saw I small tear forming in his optics. I didn't even know Cybertronians could cry.
Cyclonus: It's over Optimus Prime. Dark Energon Flame!
Cyclonus fired an attack from his servos, taking the form of purple fire. Optimus, despite his weak nature, quikly got up and sheilded me again, taking the blast hard. He fell right over the edge of the roof and crashed into the building next to it. Well what was left of that building anyways. He collapsed to the ground, his body forccing him to release his grip on me, letting me fall out of his reach and collapse to the ground next to him.
Madalyn: Optimus....
Optimus: Madalyn...
He looked down at me, pain filling his optics. I slowly pushed myself up from the ground, making my way towards my partner as he extended his servo towards me. Once I was close enough, I reached out and took the tip of his index finger and I pulled myself up to my feet.
Madalyn: Optimus.. I wish that... he was still here.... with us....

Iestyn's P.O.V.
As the town clock tower struck noon I was outside in front of my aunt and uncles house in Berlin, Germany, watering the plants for my aunt. As I poured down the water, I felt like my head got hit with something. Literally. I then heard a voice speak inside my head. It was a girl.... a teenage girl....
???: I wish he was.... still here with.... us.....
It-- It was Madalyn. The front door to the house opened up and my aunt peaked outside looking up at me. She had short blonde hair, green eyes, black glasses, a t-shirt with shorts and wore an apron over top.
Aunt: Lunch is ready Iestyn.
Iestyn: Oh, um, I'll be right there.
Aunt: Is everything okay? If you need to talk, just let me know. Just remember I'll always be here for you, alright?
Iestyn: Thanks, I appreciate it aunt Clara. Can you give me a second? I'll be in right away.
Clara: Alright but hurry, you're lunch will get cold.
Clara stepped back into the house, shutting the door behind her. Once she did, I turned my attention back to the plants, deep in thought.
Iestyn: I thought for sure that was Maddie I heard.
Her voice kept repeating that same sentence in my head over and over again. What did it mean? Was she in some kind of trouble? I saw her and the others go through the Space Bridge portal at the Atlantic Ocean.
Iestyn: I just wish I could be there to help her. No wait, I just need to think positive thoughts. Maddie can do it, she can take care of herself. I know she can....... Ah what am I thinking?! I know she's in trouble, I can feel it!
As I thought about the subject and focused hard enough, a strange glowing white orb just materialized in front of me. It then morphed and took on a new form, a mask. The bright light vanished and the object fell into my hands. I looked down at it and my mouth opened with shock.
Iestyn: My Chaos Bringer mask!

Ben's P.O.V.
I was out in the gazibo in the front yard of my castle reading a book. It was a nice day out today so i thought I'd take advantage of it. Ransack was with me, her holoform appearing on my shoulder as I read her the story.
Ben: There was a warrior who rode through the night, to his young boy upon first mornings light. He rode swiftly along, the wind blowing through his hair, in hopes that he soon would be there.
Ransack: How sweet..... Ben look! It's Iestyn.
I closed the book and placed it down on the coffe table. I looked up to see the teenage boy walking towards me with an object in his hand. A mask. The very same mask that my former "master" wore.
Ben: Are you leaving us?
Iestyn: I am. It's my duty as a Transformers Titan to help out Madalyn.
I watched as he brought out his tablet and a hologram of a Transformer appeared on top of it. A Decepticon.
Soundwave.
Ben: Good luck Iestyn.
