Unicra's Arc 1: Golden Era Chase
Unicra grunted as she was tossed into a cell.
"Hope you like that." The guard smirked as Unicra just glared with her lilac optics that became a toxic purple color as the guard froze in fear before he ran off like a dog with their tail between their legs.
Once he was gone, she sighed and leaned against the wall of her cell while looking at her servos which were stained with Energon which made her grimace and turn away. She learned and was taught by her family and allies and friends that offlining fellow cybertronians on Cybertron's soil would only stain their home with newly spilled Energon but she knows she's not at home. Not in this time period as she thought back on what happened a few hours prior.
Flashback starts;
"(Trionix, are you sure Knockout, Ratchet, Wheeljack and Shockwave know what they're doing?)" Luna asked as she drove beside her sister/counterpart as they headed towards Iacon to check on the space bridge the four were building.
"(I'm sure, Luna. Though I share your concerns over this. Last time something like this happened was when Optimus and I got sent to the Shadow zone and we encountered Skyquake who's a Terrorcon.)" Trionix replied.
"(Right before you heard his spark calling for help and purified him of the darkness of the Dark Energon.)" Luna said. She heard the story when they were at a get together with the team to celebrate Cybertron's revival.
"(Ah, yes. How are Dreadwing and Skyquake doing?)" Trionix asked.
"(Oh you know how Seeker commanders are when they're on duty.)" Luna said as they slowed down when they arrived at Iacon.
"(True. But at least Starscream helps the new recruits with training.)" Trionix asked Luna as they both transformed.
Trionix Nova, consort of Optimus Prime and as a human, Emily Sparks. She's a femme who's a direct descendant of Primus. She was sent to earth as a sparkling and took on the form of a human infant when her human parents found her. She has a warm blue colored armor with hints of red on some parts as her optics were a shining pale blue, almost white color.
Luna Eclipse, consort of Megatron and just like Trionix, was called Unicra once before changing her name to Amelia. Her origin is a bit of a strange part but she's from Unicron's dark influence that manifested in Emily when she was still human before finally getting a physical form and learning a lot of things that made her change. She has an almost neon purple color with a bit of black and silver as her optics were an electric purple that seemed to be in a color of lilac.
They entered the Iacon Hall of Records and Trionix waved to Smokescreen who was helping run the place. Optimus was off in a meeting with Megatron with Predaking and his Predacons. They even have some humans in the Iacon Hall of Records. Yes, that's right. Earth and Cybertron made a treaty for galactic travel and so far only the military can visit. Sometimes Agent Fowler, June, Leonard and their other human friends.
They went to the lift as it took them down to where the space bridge was being worked on and from what they could hear, they could hear Knockout complaining about his finish being scratched up or getting stains on it.
"Knockout, your finish is fine. A little Energon stain doesn't hurt." Luna said as she crossed her arms.
"Oh come on, Lun-lun! You know how long it takes to buff this finish!" Knockout complained.
"Anyway, how are the calibrations, Shockwave?" Trionix asked as she turned to the one optic Decepticon.
"Considering the time given and with extra help. The progress is going well as I figured, Trionix Nova." Shockwave informed her.
"Yeah, yeah. As long as Aston Martin here stops whining like a cyber-puppy." Wheeljack snarked as Luna snickered while Knockout gave the wrecker an annoyed look.
"What? Just saying." Wheeljack smirked in amusement.
"Would all of you quiet down?! I'm almost done setting up the coding." Ratchet said as he typed some codes on the panels.
Everyone quickly quietened down as Ratchet was putting the final codes for the panels.
"Drama queen." Wheeljack suddenly muttered and it was directed at Knockout who gave him an annoyed glare.
"Adrenaline junkie." Knockout fired back.
The two kept firing name callings towards each other as Shockwave just gave them a deadpanned look even though he doesn't really have a face. Luna just pinched between her optics as Trionix just shook her head at the two.
"Remind me again how Cherry Mobile here joined the Autobots before the whole Unicron incident?" Luna asked but only got a shrug as the panels pinged, signifying its completion.
"It is done." Ratchet smiled as he turned on the panels.
The panels glowed as Ratchet turned it on as the space bridge frame lit up.
"So... What now?" Wheeljack asked.
"Why not a test run?" Luna suggested.
"Not a bad idea, Luna." Knockout agreed.
"Ratchet, set in some random coordinates for the test run." Trionix said as the medic nodded and typed in the coordinates.
The space bridge glows before it produces the familiar vortex they're all familiar with but something was bound to go terribly wrong. Unknown to them, a lone scraplet was able to make its way inside and when it saw the space bridge. In its thermal optics, the small group were in colors indicating their heat signatures but the hottest was the space bridge frame. Opening their mouth with their sharp dentals, it emitted the usual sounds of a scraplet which alerted the other scraplets that came along.
Trionix was in the middle of a conversation with Ratchet when the familiar sound of a scraplet was and they had to avoid the flying vermin to avoid getting eaten.
"They're eating the space bridge frame!" Ratchet exclaimed in shock.
Both Trionix and Luna activated their thunder mods and had to shock the scraplets to stop them from chewing through but when a particular wire on the frame was chewed through, the space bridge started to emit a groaning sound and the feeling of being sucked in became noticeable.
"Everyone, evacuate the area now!" Trionix ordered.
Everyone started heading towards the lift as Trionix went to the panel to try and shut it down.
"Nix! We gotta leave now!" Luna shouted from the way to the lift.
"I need to shut down the space bridge before it implodes!" Trionix said as she initiated the shutdown protocols.
Luna gritted her dentals as she turned to the others who were waiting for them.
"You guys go on ahead! We'll catch up eventually!" She told them.
Ratchet looked at her in fear and shock and she could tell just from his EM field.
"We'll be fine, Ratchet. Now go!" Luna said as she went to where Trionix is to help her.
Wheeljack gritted his dentals before he pressed the doors to the lift to get them out of there. They watched as the lift took them away as they could see that Luna was trying to help Trionix with shutting the space bridge down but something went wrong. They saw that the suction was getting stronger by how Trionix and Luna had to grab onto something only for them to let go.
"No!" Ratchet yelled in shock as the portal swallowed the two femmes.
There was a big flash and everything went white for them.
Murmurs can be heard as Trionix's audio receptors were ringing and making her wince. She blinked her optics to see blurry faces but she could tell they were confused and shocked. She sat up and held her head as her vision cleared and saw other cybertronians looking at her in surprise, shock and confusion.
"Oh man... That's a sonic boom of a processor ache..." A groan said and she turned to see Luna shaking her head.
Trionix didn't answer her as she was looking at the strange cybertronians.
"Who are they?"
"Do you think they're dangerous?"
"They just appeared out of nowhere."
"Think the council did this?"
So many murmurs and whispers can be heard about the two and it was giving Trionix a processor ache but she had to maintain her calm since she was internally panicking. She stood up slowly as she put her hands up slightly to show she was no threat.
"Calm yourselves, everyone. My companion and I mean you no harm." She reassured them but this caused more murmurs to go around.
"I don't think they believe you, Nix." Luna said as she finally stood up.
"I... I know but something tells me that something is about to happen." She said warily.
"Okay, okay, bots! Move aside!" A voice shouted and they turned to see a maroon and black mech pushing their way through the crowd followed by three more.
"What's going on here?" A second mech asked in confusion.
"These two just appeared out of nowhere in the middle of Kaon." Somebody from the crowd said as they pointed to Luna and Trionix.
"Hmm they don't look that tough. But probably best if we take them to the boss." A third mech said as he approached the two.
"(Trionix, I don't like this. They don't seem to recognize us as the Lord High Protector and Prime's consorts.)" Luna said through their private commlink.
"(I noticed it too.)" Trionix agreed as the four mechs went to them.
"Look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. The easy way is that you come with us to see the boss or the hard way is where we have to take you there by force." The fourth mech said cockily which made Luna scoff.
"Oh really? And how do you expect us to comply?" Luna asked as her optics glowed a little dangerously.
"By force then." The fourth mech, Screwbolt, said cockily.
"I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but you guys don't really wanna fight us." Trionix said warily as she shifted her stance a little.
"Well, too bad." The third mech, Shatter Stone said as they advanced at the two.
Trionix and Luna glanced at each other before quickly transforming into their alt modes and drove off quickly. The crowd quickly parted ways as the four mechs transformed and gave chase to the two femmes.
The chase continues through the Kaon road and most grounders have to swerve out of the way of the two femmes as the four mechs, Sliderim, Gearbreak, Shatter Stone and Screwbolt continue to chase them.
"They just can't take a hint!" Trionix shouted through the commlink.
" You think?! How are we gonna lose them?! " Luna questioned her.
It's risky but Trionix has a plan and it will probably end up with one of them being captured. She doesn't want to split up with Luna but if they're both captured, how are they gonna get back home?
"Nix, whatever you're planning, you better say it now before we're caught." Luna said urgently.
"Luna, we may need to split up." Trionix said grimly.
"What?!" Luna exclaimed through the comms.
"Unicra, listen to me! We don't have much time! If we split up, one of us will get captured and the other will find a way to get the other out." Trionix said and Luna winced. She's only called Unicra a few times when the situation is dire.
"Then if the other manages to escape, where do we meet?" Luna asked and Trionix sent her coordinates and she hummed.
"Iacon. Good choice. Alright, Emily. We'll meet there." Luna said and could feel the smile through their comm from her.
"Thank you, sister. Now split!" Trionix shouted and they went two ways.
The guards split up as well but Trionix during the drive quickly transformed and jumped into the air before transforming mid jumped and flew towards Iacon which made her pursuers stop and transform in disdain and disbelief.
"Frag it! We lost that one!" Screwbolt cursed.
"Forget it. Shatter Stone and Sliderim are going after the second one. Let's see what Clench will have to say about her." Gearbreak told him as Screwbolt huffed in annoyance.
Unicra pushed herself to maximum speed but the ones chasing after her just won't slow down. She had to lose them to meet up with Emily at Iacon but she can't since the two chasing her are way too persistent.
She was about to make a hard turn when the road she's on suddenly became slippery and she skidded on the road until she had to transform back into her robot form. She looked at what was causing the ground to be slippery and to her dismay, it was oil.
'Knockout's gonna flip if he finds out about this.' She thought in dismay.
"Well, looks like we caught the run away." Shatter Stone taunted as he and Sliderim transformed.
Unicra narrowed her lilac optics at them as her stance slowly shifted to a defensive one though she had to do it secretly to avoid that she was ready to defend herself.
"Alright, sweetspark. You either come with us or we'll have to take you by force." Sliderim said as he and Shatter Stone approached her slowly.
"As if you two can do that." Unicra weighs her options. If she flees, she'll need to get enough space to transform into her jet mode but if she has to fight, she needs to take these two down.
Sliderim was the first to attack as he charged towards her but she sidestepped it and swiped his feet from under him. Shatter Stone was next and she had to block the punch that was sent her way. Sensing something coming towards her, she bends backwards and both Shatter Stone and Sliderim hit each other which made her smirk in amusement. While the two were reeling from the hits, she landed in her servos and spun on her servos and hit them with her leg struts which sent them flying back before she landed on her pedes as she crossed her arms struts.
"Is that all you got? Lame." Unicra laughed lightly.
"My finish! You're gonna pay for this!" Sliderim growled after seeing how messed up his finish looked which made Unicra snort.
"Reminds me of Knockout." She muttered in amusement.
She was about to transform when a jolt of electricity was sent through her whole frame which made her grunt painfully and fell on her side as her vision was slowly going dark.
"You two seriously are fragheads. Getting beat by femme?" Gearbreak questioned and Unicra could see that he was holding some type of gun similar to the prod Knockout has.
"We lost the other one since it turned from grounder mode to flier mode." Screwbolt grumbled as Gearbreak looked at Unicra who was fighting to stay awake but her vision went black.
Unicra's vision came back online and she was being dragged off somewhere that appeared to be an office.
"Think the boss would put her in the pits?" Screwbolt's voice asked.
"Probably considering how she took down both Sliderim and Shatter Stone easily." Gearbreak said and she can tell he was the one that was carrying her.
"I have to spend most of my shanix on getting my finish buffed out." Sliderim grumbled.
She waited as she twitched her servos before hitting Gearbreak on the helm as he grunt in surprise but dropped her. She shook off the wave of dizziness as she took on a fighting stance as the four looked at her in surprise.
"The frag?! Gearbreak, I thought that prod of yours can render others unconscious for a certain time!" Shatter Stone exclaimed in shock.
"Well, let's just say I'm special." She gritted her dentals at them.
"You'll pay for what you did to my finish!" Sliderim shouted as he charged at her with Screwbolt.
She avoided them but was grabbed by the arm struts and she threw the one holding flying towards Sliderim who yelped in surprise when Shatter Stone hit him by accident.
"Oh you'll pay for that, glitch!" Screwbolt activated his weapons and Unicra was quick to block the blade with her own.
The two started to exchange blows. While Screwbolt was fast and precise on his attacks, Unicra has lots experience and quick reflexes but when Screwbolt went to hit a viral part, she retaliated by slashing her blade out of instincts and the first thing she heard was a cry of pain which made her optics widened in shock.
"My optic!" Screwbolt hissed as he covered his damaged optic with his servo as Energon leaked from it.
"Frag..." Unicra backed up shakily as Sliderim was by Screwbolt's side as he tried to stop the leaking.
Unicra switched her blade out back to her servos but they were stained with fresh Energon.
"What the frag is going on here?" A voice spoke and they looked to see someone by a door to an office.
"Boss, this femme is crazy! She harmed Screwbolt!" Sliderim exclaimed as he pointed to Unicra who was staring in shock.
"That so?" He asked curiously as he looked at Unicra.
Unicra could tell he was analyzing her before he called two of his guards.
"Blade Swipe, take her to where the others are. Steam Jet, take Screwbolt to a medic to get that optic fix." Clench ordered.
Blade Swipe complied and grabbed Unicra by the arm struts as he dragged her to the cells as Steam Jet helped Sliderim take Screwbolt to a medic in the building.
Blade Swipe and Unicra entered a lift and it stopped at the lower levels as he dragged her out. Unicra was silent most of the time she was being dragged but her optics scanned the areas she was in and she can tell they were in some type of dungeon and it was holding a lot of mechs who are all either recharging, chatting or sitting in their individual cells. She caught the optics of some mechs who eyed her curiously or in surprise as she was dragged to an empty one.
Flashback ends;
"Well. This cycle just got harder..." She muttered as she leaned against the wall of her cell before looking out the window to reveal Kaon or most of it from the cell.
"Nix, be careful..." She muttered worriedly as she went to the berth available in her cell and she lay down on it as she stared at the wall far from her.
She just hopes that Trionix is okay.
