Chapter 11: A New Age
At The Elite Guard's Headquarters-In Iacon-On The Planet Cybertron
Five squadrons of Elite Guard troopers were standing guard around the fortress, in case The Decepticons were foolish enough to attack it.
In The Control Room
Shadowstorm, Thunderblade , Ironhide , Jazz , Sideswipe and a few soldiers were present in the room , discussing a few facts about recent Decepticon activity.
Suddenly, they were alerted to an incoming transmission.
A soldier accepted the call and the face of none other than Optimus Prime appeared on the main screen.
"Greetings fellow Autobots, I am sending this message regarding a matter of great importance. We have managed to capture a few Decepticons and lock them away. However, detaining them within the NEST Headquarters is proving to be far more difficult than previously anticipated. As such, we would like you and th Elite Guard to collect and imprison them back on Cybertron, were there's more than enough security to detain them if necessary. That is all from my side. Is there any topic you wish to address regarding the Decepticons?", Optimus questioned.
"Not really Optimus, I don't have any question. I shall notify the Elite Guard and we'll be arriving in about three to four hours. See you then. Shadowstorm out."
"Very well old friend, see you soon." , Optimus stated while nodding his head.
Shadowstorm nodded back and ended the transmission.
In The Fortress's Hangar-Two Hours Later
The Elite Guard troopers exited the elevator and headed towards their ship.
They got on the Ironwill.
An Autobot sat in the pilot seat as the hangar opened and the flagship took off.
"Set a course for Spacebridge Theta Seven.", Shadowstorm ordered as an Elite Guard trooper nodded.
At The Space Bridge
The bridge powered up and a portal opened , allowing the ship to fly through.
In Earth's Orbit
"Were to sir?", The pilot questioned.
"Fly to the desert outside Washington DC. Optimus, the other Autobots and the NEST soldiers will meet us there.", Shadowstorm replied calmly.
In A Remote Location In The Desert-Half An Hour Later
The Ironwill touched down as the door opened, revealing Optimus , the other Autobots and the NEST soldiers , led by Captain William Lennox , along with quite a few stasis cuffed Decepticons.
"Thank you for your assistance Captain Lennox, but we'll take it from here. Also please tell the director that I'm grateful for his help as well , along with the government and the President."
"We'll do Shadowstorm.", Lennox answered with a smile as he stepped forward.
"Well, it's best if we leave now. Autobots , let's go!" , Shadowstorm ordered as he and the Elite Guard went back on to their ship and left the planet.
In Space-A Few Minutes Later
The Elite Guard was making its way back to Cybertron , when suddenly, they were alerted to an incoming transmission.
"Sir, incoming transmission from Cybertron Command.", A trooper stated, bringing it up on the main screen.
A familiar black Autobot with the Elite Guard insignia on his chest appeared.
"Commander Rotorblast , what's the situation?" , Shadowstorm questioned from his seat.
"Commander Shadowstorm , do you remember that Decepticon General you recently fought and whose body you've destroyed?" , Rotorblast questioned as Shadowstiorm shuddered , flashbacks filling his mind.
"Yes, but what's your point?"
"It turns out, he's not as dead as we all thought. Turns out he's on Alpha 6 , having his body reconstructed by some Decepticon technology. The process is almost complete. According to Cybertron Intelligence, he's preparing to invade Cybertron."
"What? Tripel security in the most important areas of Iacon and have all entertainment institutions shut down.
Tell the citizens to remain at home until further instructions from the Elite Guard. I'm declaring this a level fifteen emergency. We'll head to Alpha Six and arrest that Decepticon general. You defend Cybertron and wait for further orders. Understood?", Shadowstorm questioned seriously.
"Yes sir , perfectly! Rotorblast out." , The mech stated saluting and ending the call.
On Alpha Six
Upon arrival , they hurried down to the planet , only to discover the Decepticon general was about to be repaired.
His body and limbs were reconnected , followed by his head as his optics glowed dark red.
Finally! My restoration is complete! Now I can at last conquer Cybertron for all Deceptiucons! Ah, the Cybertron Elite Guard. Your pathetic attempts at stopping me are futile. Besides, it isn't long for this universe. Decepticons! Transform and rise up!", Lonarstorm ordered , transforming into a cybertronian jet.
His troops did the same and soon an arial battle was taking place.
Shadowstorm ordered the air strike teams to give chase.
"Yes sir!", They replied and transformed to jet mode.
"Attack!" ,Silverbolt ordered.
The seekers immediately opened fire.
Shadowstorm pulled out his axe.
He deflected the shots and subdued his opponents.
After that, they were placed in stasis cuffs and brought back to Cybertron.
Back On The Planet Cybertron
The Autobots quickly placed their prisoners into the Fortress's cellblock.
In The Fortress's Control Room-Ten Minutes Later
Shadowstorm prepared to broadcast a message.
"Fellow Autobots on Cybertron and across the galaxy, the time has come to expand ourselves across the universe. Discover new worlds, make new alliances and forge new friendships.
I am sending you blueprints for new Military facilities which will be built on these new planets. Good luck to you all fellow Autobots. Till All Are One!"
He then sent the blueprints.
Things are going to change drastically.
Nine Years Later
It has been nine years since the construction of the new facilities.
Shadowstorm's plan worked perfectly.
The planets were linked to each other via the Space Bridge network. Plenty of Energon was present on every one of these planets. The result was a new age of peace. But will it last?
