Fall of the Order [DC-Only]

[The Earth Space]

"Idea accepted!" Jetstorm said, jumping from the podium and transforming, flying through one of the vents.

"guess we're going outside." Sonar said, flying up before noticing Windblade. He landed next to her and looked up at her. "U-Uh hi.." he said. "Um, thanks for letting us use Metroplex's head..." He said shyly.

[Hespero-Belkia]

Windblade looked down at Sonar.

"Oh...you're welcome," she smiled.

The Aerialbots, Powerglide, Brainstorm, and Broadside headed outside.

[The Earth Space]

"So, uh, you're a City Speaker?" He asked, raising his hands to his sides.

"Woho!" Runway said before looking down at Starcross. He flew down and held his hand out, she took the tiny hand and her jets began to burst. She tried to keep her balance and eventually gained it, flying through the swarm of fliers happily

"WOOHOOOOO!" she shouted happily

[Hespero-Belkia]

The Aerialbots were flying in a V-formation while Powerglide did loop-de-loops in the air.

"Come on, Starcross, transform!" Brainstorm shouted.

****

"Yep," Windblade replied. "My job to communicate with Metroplex and make sure his needs are met."

[The Earth Space]

"I knew a lot of your kind... they were... amazing, their gifts gave them so much... but that was before I, got turned into a chip... and before this big lug became the last of the Titans... but that makes you rare... beautiful... kinda like an Outlier." Sonar said, chuckling as he sat down and watched them. "I used to be at the top of my game but, aahh, maybe I can get Ratchet to help me out." He said, looking at her.

[Hespero-Belkia]

Great, I can't even go a few days without someone hitting on me, Windblade thought.

"So I take it you've been around for a long time," she said.

[The Earth Space]

"Couple million years, give or take a billion. The three of us have been here since.... before the war? I want to say that. I can't really explain it so... I'd just have to show you." Sonar chuckled

[Hespero-Belkia]

"Ok...I'm interested," Windblade replied.

[The Earth Space]

"Well I already know of the Information Creep thing, so I made hard copies of my memories, stored in the room we share with Jarvis and Arcee. If you'd like, I can show them to you..." He said, standing up

[Hespero-Belkia]

"Sure," Windblade stood up. "I'm curious to know."

[The Earth Space]

"I'd love to enlighten you..." He said, flying up to her shoulder and looking out. "Come on, let's go enjoy ourselves." He said, offering her his tiny hand as he floated above her

[Hespero-Belkia]

Windblade followed the Minicon. The rest of the Jet Club had flown off, having forgotten about them.

[The Earth Space]

"Ok!" Starcross laughed as she transformed… and began to fall...

But in seconds she began to float unevenly, Runway and Jetstorm were lifting up her wings so she could experience her abilities. She thanked them and they flew her forward, she laughed happily as she felt the wind breeze over her

The Earth Space, Jaburo Facilities

"So, is the test subject exceeding expectations?" Garnet asked as she entered a small glass room, crossing her arms under her chest and looking out. There was a woman in chains who was thrashing violently, growling as the men shocked her.

"She's doing well, the infusions are taking hold and she should be ready within a few hours." The foreman said, watching. "The men call her Machina. Don't know why, just do." He said, Garnet noticing something odd.

"Wait... won't those get in the way?" She asked, referring to her chest.

"Let's not dwell on the subject. In order to maintain her injections she should...." The foreman said before noticing the room change from blue to red. Machina began to pant heavily before standing upright and looking around. "No fucking way..." He said, checking her vitals. "Sh-she's stabilized..."

"Well done. You've created a Super Soldier killer." Garnet grinned, the men running out and taking off the chains, Machina walking into the back room and closing the doors behind her.

"So, tell me, why did Mr. Bowen commission the project?"

".....his sister in law and previous lover Sofiya is a Super Soldier, her sister is too and the clone known as Rose is also one. He believed that if any, and knowing them, of them were to be taken over by mind control, or to just lose their sanity, we send her out to take them down. Least that's what he told me."

"But can't Mr. Bowen do it himself? With his armors?"

"....." Garnet stayed silent and closed her eyes

Recruitment

"Excuse me, but answer me this. Why pull me from the Yottabotans if you wanted to just give me a position?"

"Because." Kyle chuckled, sitting down in his chair. "You're one of a kind. That and, I've seen what you've done. I need you, and that's that. Now this is your first project. We have the subject ready and we have the facilities in a part of the nation known as Jaburo." he said, throwing her a folder and a map. "Your facilities are here, and your men are ready. Now get to work."

"Super soldier killer.... but why? Can't you just do it?"

"....Garnet I'm getting old. Each regeneration takes a little piece away from me and at the moment I'm dying, so I can't really take Sofiya, Rose or even Sarah head on without some backup... is that understood?" Kyle said, staring at her through the corner of his eye

"Y-Yes sir..." She said, standing up and walking away.

Present

"His reasons lie only with the Commanders. So get back to work. Make sure she's trained and everything." She ordered, walking out

[Hespero-Belkia]

Once they re-entered Metroplex's head, Windblade spoke. "I'll stay here and watch Metroplex. You go and get the tapes."

****

Meanwhile, about 30 miles away from Autobot City, Ultra Magnus was on patrol, driving down an empty country road. He noticed a woman standing on the side of the road making a hitchhiking gesture.

[The Earth Space]

"Hey! Mr.!" She shouted, holding her thumb up and walking backwards down the roadside

****

Sonar nodded and flew to his habsuite, returning minutes later carrying a bunch of datadisks.

"I got volume one here!" He said, putting them down and looking up at her. "Guess this is what the humans call movie night yes?" He asked, looking up at the wall that would be the screeen

[Hespero-Belkia]

Magnus slowed to a halt.

"Can I...help you?" he asked.

****

"Yeah," Windblade replied. The tape was starting up.

[The Earth Space]

Sonar watched and chuckled to himself, seeing the original 13 Primes and smiling happily. He looked down and saw Windblade's hand, moving closer to it.

"So first there's Prima, our partner who wielded us in battle against Unicron's forces. And then there was Solus, who created us in the first place. She was nice and all, she had a slight temper but she always managed to understand when we needed to get fixed..." Sonar said, moving closer. "Then there's Alpha, you know him already. Then there's Vector, guardian of space and time. Hopefully you know him." He laughed, watching as Solus hit Prima with the hammer on accident. "Then there was Micronus, our favorite since he was our size and managed to still do some damage... and the one who gifted us with life... then there was Nexus, the biggest one, a combiner in itself. He was nice and friendly. Then... Quintess... who made the Quintessons, you know them right? I'm sure he'd be disappointed in them now... then Amalgamous, who was the first REAL Transformer."

"Then there was Alchemist, who was the Perceptor of the Primes... then Onyx, who was the first Beastformer, he was... quite savage, but he was a gentleman in robot mode... and then there were... the dark ones.... Logos, Leige Maximo... and Megatronus... who you all know as the Fallen." He sighed. "They were so nice sometimes... always sharpened our blade..." He sighed

****

"I need a lift! Mind gettin' me somewhere quick?" She asked

[Hespero-Belkia]

"Megatronus?" Windblade asked. "Sounds a lot like...you know who."

****

"Um...ok?" Magnus replied, opening his passenger side door. "Get in."

[The Earth Space]

"He's merely a coincidence. I knew the real one... the true dark one..." Sonar said before blinking and noticing his hand was resting on Windblade's finger. He blinked and looked up at her. "Is, that alright? I feel more comfortable when I'm closer to people... it's alright if you don't want to.." He said, preparing to pull his hand back.

****

"Thanks!" She said, hopping in and kicking her feet up. She stretched and saw there wasn't a driver. She blinked and screamed, thinking they were going to crash

[Hespero-Belkia]

"I guess it's ok," Windblade said.

Suddenly a loud, booming voice interrupted them, stating: "Ah, the good old days!" Metroplex's massive brain module lit up as the voice spoke.

"Metroplex? Is that you?" Windblade asked.

"Yes, it is me," the Titan replied. "I just felt like I would throw my...2 cents in on the matter."

****

"Hey hey hey it's ok!" Magnus pleaded. "I'm an Autobot!"

[The Earth Space]

Sonar was clinging to Windblade's arm and shaking a bit. "S-Sorry W-Windlbade… uh, h-hi Metroplex! U-uh, remember me? The Star Saber?" Sonar asked

****

"Oh! Oh ok, ok ok ok…" she took a deep breath and hugged her legs, rocking back and forth slowly in the seat

[Hespero-Belkia]

"The Star Saber? I believe I remember...." Metroplex replied.

****

"So...what's you name?" Magnus asked. "I'm Ultra Magnus."

[The Earth Space]

"I-I'm Verity. Verity Carlo." She said, uncurling

****

"It's alright if you don't. I was just the hilt." Sonar chuckled. "So, wanna watch with us?"

[Hespero-Belkia]

"Well it's not like I'm going anywhere," Metroplex remarked. "Besides, you are in my head, after all."

****

"Why were you all the way out here?" Magnus asked.

[The Earth Space]

"Ok." He said, putting in the next tape.

****

"Eehh just didn't know where to go. The open road yields a lotta different places, was lookin' for one that might suit me." She chuckled
