Chapter 6: Prime To Pax

(This chapter will be a bit different this won't  follow Little Light from last chapter. Rather this chapter is based on the sister series of MTMTE called robot in disguise(Not the show). I will make some more of RID chapters in the future to help understand the story that will move forward in the little light book.)


 And maybe have I'll make prequel chapter about last stand of the wreckers


(3rd person) Past


We see a spaceship entering a nearby planet


From the Journal of Orion Pax:


"Left Cybertron and my role of Optimus Prime behind."


"But I didn't leave behind the sense of duty I owe to all sentient beings"


"Arduria was once a gas giant, orbiting a yellow dwarf star a dozen parsecs from the system. The native rocs glided between their floating aeries with a silicon-based precision."


"Distant, estranged cousins of cybertronians; A parallel life form. Naturally, we never trusted one another...."


"They didn't deserve what happened to them... But then whoever does?"


The mysterious person enters a building


Roc1: Wha- is someone there? It is someone! you are there!~ At last! the others were too cold to stay.... but I knew someone would come~


??? Ah, you are using radio waves to communicate.....


The mysterious person reveals to be....



...Shockwave the cold Decepticon scientist,


Shockwave charges up his canon


Roc1: Y-you're not here to save me....?~


Shockwave kills him and continues to walk until he finds a group of Rocs next to a generator


Roc2: Please.. the... cold... it's killing us we have such a small but of energy remaining.~


Roc3: The heat.. all goes away.~


Roc4:Please... help us~.


Shockwave Ignores them and finds what he is looking for.


Shockwave: Ah, yes. I suspected I was the cause of this. Not my intended result... but answers are answers


500 years later. Present-day


We cut to a station and inside we see a bunch of aliens from all over the galaxy hanging out and drinking. In the middle of the room, we see Optimus Prime along with another Autobot and an huge alien


(̶O̶p̶t̶i̶m̶u̶s̶ P̶r̶i̶m̶e̶ Orion Pax Pov)


I hadn't given any thought to the Arduians for four million years. Then I got a call.


Orion: What are you doing out here Hardhead?



Hardhead: Keeping our Cargo away from Cybertron. I don't want to undermine what bumblebee is trying to do, But our home isn't secure



Wheelie: If we bring bad man to the sky no more Autobots will have to die


Hardhead: but that's not why I contacted you. We picked up a strange signal from the Ardurian System. You know what happened- well, nobody knows what happened to Arduria. But you know the state it's in prime


Orion: I look it up. And please- My name is pax, these days. Orion Pax


Wheelie: Leading through our darkest time, to us, You will always be a prime



Garnak: Yeh


Hardhead: Anyway, That's the reason I called you.


Orion: Arduria?


Hardhead: Your name.


We followed Hardhead to the cargo


Hardhead: The cargo had been catatonic since the Chaos Event- Regardless, He's the most dangerous Cybertronain alive. So when he started Reacting to the Arduriann signal.....


Orion: You paid attention.


Hardhead: I didn't know what he was saying, at first. I mean I wasn't even sure you were alive- let alone what you were calling yourself- Until I contacted bumblebee


Orion: Taking on this responsibility you've made a gallant sacrifice, Hardhead. all Aurobots- all Cybertronians owe you a debt of gratitude


Hardhead: it's nothing, prime. I'm a soldier, and my war's over. I'm just glad to have a purpose


I turn my head at Wheelie and Garnak


Orion: And you two? You could be enjoying the new peace


Wheelie: Alone in space for so long, Wheelie tried to stay strong. But visions drove Wheelie mad- duty restores the mind once had.


Garnak: Yeh, what he said. Cybertron didn't exactly seem like a place where's a big lug like me we're gonna fit in


Orion: Garnak, If what Rodimus told me is true, you have-


???: PAX! PAAAAAAXXXXXX!


Garnak: That'd be the cargo boss


???: PAX!



(imagine him being in a cell with his legs and arms cuff to a wall)


Jhiaxus: PAX!


Hardhead: Jhiaxus master scientist of Cybertron golden age....


Orion: And one of the architects of our worlds downfall.


Jhiaxus: PAX!.... YOU! PAX... My creations. Tomorrow.. Prime... Through genesis and regenesis . Thirteen.... "Thirteen"..... Well Optimus. Good to see you again. You're looking well


Hardhead: He hasn't calmed down like that for days what should-


Orion: Set a course for Arduria. And don't let Jhiaxus out of you sight for an instant


Jhiaxus had been integral in making Cybertron what it once was: A wasteland devastated by unending war, Moral corruption, and malevolent expansionism. he an I were together when Cybertron was reborn.


Jhiaxus' master, Galvatron,  dissolved in front of us. I emerged three weeks in the future. Facing a world that neither wanted nor need me. Listening to Jhiaxus ramble- it seems Galvatron and I both got off easy.


We arrived on the planet and I had asked Hardhead to come with me as the Wheelie and Garnak stays in the ship


Hardhead: Over here.


Hardhead points to the entrance of the building and we begin to go inside. Hardhead puts on a brave front. He's spent years guarding Jhiaxus even before the Chaos event. And now, after... well, He does his duty so the rest of us don't have to.


When we enter the Building we see a dead Roc with a canon hole in its chest


HardHead: Am I imaging things or?


Orion: No, you're right, Hardhead... this was Shockwave's handiwork. He was Jhiaxus' greatest student that we've wound up here, With Jhiaxus in tow- It can't be a coincidence.


HardHead: Nothing ever is, In our line of work. What do you suppose Shockwave was doing here?


Orion: He went dark for a Half-million years-up until the Dynobots found him on earth.


Hardhead: I know the story. It was ten thousand years ago, After shockwave used his Regensis Missiles to seed earth with Ultra Energon. A.K.A. Ore-13. But how could Jhiaxus Know...?


Orion: Maybe someone told him. Did Bumblebee confirm that Shockwave is still on Cybertron


Hardhead: Yeah, I got a rundown on everybody who's anywhere... and... look, There's something else I have to tell you. While we're in the mood for bad news. Rodimus and Couple Hundred Autobots went to chase down the Knight Of Cybertron... But their ship exploded. They're.... they're all dead.


Orion: I doubt that. I've known Rodimus for a long time. He faced death and found life. I'm sure he's fine..... Wait. do you feel colder?


We enter a room but we found a combiner encase in Ice.



Hardhead: Huh. so that's the how would you even say it? The source of the cold?


Orion: The Stench of Shockwave is everywhere. The rocket seems to be absorbing the heat.


Hardhead: What-what for? And what's the big guy doing?


Orion: Monstructor. Jhiaxus's original attempt to create a combiner.... To force multiple bodies- multiple sparks into a single entity..... I fought it once


Hardhead: Well, What do you think happened and when?


Orion: Recently. Wheelie- this Orion.


Wheelie: "Wheelie replying and always steady you wish is all but granted"


Orion: call up all records on Monstructor. Rodimus Enecounterd him during the Decepticon push five years ago, and I don't recall any further reports.


Wheelie: "Computer logs: your memory confirm! Monstructor's status: Mobile or Infirm?"


Jhiaxus: "My creation....."


Orion: We'll update you later. Just keep an eye on Jhiaxus- I don't like where this is going.


Jhiaxus: "Nor should you Autobot. My creation.... LIVES!"


Hardhead: Uh Prime?


The ice starts to break and cracks


Orion: Guns up, Hardhead


Monstructor breaks through the Ice and awakens


Orion: We've been played. Last time Monstructor was on the leash of the Decepticons. It was working with.... No!-No! Wheelie Get out of there!


(3rd person)


Inside the ship


Orion: "It's Bludgeon! Blugeon is coming"


Wheelie was then seen put on a wall by an energy sword stabbing him.



Bludgeon: Oh, Bludgeon is here, Autobot and I want my Master.


Garnak then comes in the room carrying a blaster.


Garnak: Yeah? Well, you gotta get through me first. yer kind's always underestimating the lizard.


Jhiaxus: The first gestalt.....


(Outside)


Jhiaxus: "The first fusion of spark into superior life for... The first step toward our race's final evolution!"


Orion: Jhiaxus the only first time that matters.... Is first blood!


Orion then fires his blaster and Hardhead follows as well.


Jhiaxus: "You believe my servant wouldn't fix Mostructors only weakness?"


Hardhead: Only weakness? Well, to be fair, it's also completely insane


Jhiaxus: "That is not a weakness"


Monstructor then punches Hardhead sending him flying to a wall knocking him out cold


Orion: Jhiaxus, I've spent my entire life-fighting maniacs like you and Monstructor. Do you think this is where I lose? Take your best shot!


Monstructor: RRRRAHHH!


Monstructor then dissembles to multiple parts transforming back into the Pretender monsters


Jhiaxus: Not now Optimus. But soon. Very Very soon... and with finality


The Pretender monsters rush towards Orion but they pass through him


Orion carries Hardhead out of the building and sees another ship in the distance


(Orion Pax Pov)


They were leaving in their own ship. I wasn't the target. I never had been, and that meant I had to act fast


Orion: Wheelie, Garnak- activate thrusters were pursuing


No response confirmed my fears.


Orion: No...



With Rodimus missing and Bumblebee occupied, responsibility falls to me. Fortunately, I enjoy my duties ... And I rarely find myself alone in them


(Later)


(3rd Person)


Garnak wakes up with an eye patch


Garnak: Unnh... what's going on?


Hardhead: Garnak, Welcome back to the land of the living


Garnak then sees Hard Head and Orion as they look at a holographic map. He then turns around to see Wheelie with a piece of metal on his wound. He then looks back at Hardhead


Garnak: Ech. I feel like somebody took outta my gizzard.


Wheelie: Decepticon cut you, Almost got my spark But we made it through, Now chase in ark!


Hardhead: Bludgeon and Jhiaxus have a head start. Extrapolating their course. There are 321 charted systems they could be heading for...


Orion: That's not helpful


Hardhead: But this is: Only one of those is the Lenocinium Velnero system. Where Wheelie was stuck for millions of years, and where he and Garnak met.


Orion: Bludgeon left them Both alive intentionally he was sending us a message. Set course to the L-V System


Wheelie: NO! No, I can't go back! NEVER!


Wheelie get on all fours and Garnak tries to comfort hom


Wheelie: Don't take me back


Garnak: It's okay Li'l buddy. The place wasn't all bad after all


 Hardhead: (Looks at Orion)Wheelie never said what happened there.


Orion: And It doesn't look like he going to. But it's time we found out and I fear Shockwave may have planted something there. If Earth had ORE-13...


HardHead: And Arduria had another, That's eleven left. Is Jhiaxus tracking down his student's masterwork?


Orion: And why does he want us to follow?


HardHead: You know we're walking into a trap


Orion: Doubtlessly... But I'm tired of walking away.
