The Gathering of The Tribes
Iacon
The bots had arrived at Iacon, the best place for their gathering and the place where The Wreckers were usually, “I will speak to them.” Cyclonus had said, surprising them at that, none of them thinking that he had the capability to do as much as Galvatron had grinned, “Excellent!” he had said, making them more confused as the bot had went alone, making them concerned at that moment as the least vocal of them had went and started to hope he wouldn’t fail.

“CYCLONUS!” The Wreckers that knew him had shouted, cheering and laughing as Threnody had went to embrace him, “Good to see you again,” he had told Cyclonus, “What brings a fellow Wrecker here?” he had asked of him, at that, Cyclonus had went and looked towards the Beast–Type that was there, “Deathsaurus is why.” he had said to them, surprising the Wreckers.
“Oh yeah? Why’s that?” Kup, the formerly youngest but not the toughest of The Wreckers had said, his blaster on his hip with his cudgel on his shoulder plate, “I am with a group that is seeking to unite Cybertron with the assistance of Alpha Trion.” he had told them, making the merriment stop, all of them looking towards him now, “You know of Alpha Trion?” Threnody asked.
“He was the one who had gathered us for this mission.” he had said, hearing that, the others looked so he had went and raised a servo, motioning them towards him, responding to that, the bots had transformed and approached the bots, seeing that, The Wreckers were on guard until they had appeared, the sight of the Prime shocking them and making the small few bow towards Alpha Trion.
“Lord Prime, how do you fair?” he had asked, making the Prime look to them, “I and my companions are here, requesting you to please assist us in gathering the tribes.” he had said, “We have the ability to contact Upper Tetrahex, The Darklands, The Northern Mountains and The Mithric Sea, but we need one to send the word to gather here to the offer them unity.” Nova had explained to them.
That had made the bots look to each other as Deathsaurus had went and approached, “I will head to the remains of The Maximals.” he had told them before turning to the others, a few Seekers approaching them and transforming, all of them powering up, “We shall gather them, for Alchemist Prime.” Threnody had said, “If we can unite and cease this conflict, then we will help.” he said.
The Wreckers being one of the few honorable groups that were aligned to no single kingdom, defending the average citizen from the Maraudicons and other dangers that had been lurking, as they had thought on their plan, the Prime had turned towards Nova Major, “Are you ready for your speech?” he had asked and hearing that, they all looked at him in surprise.

Atrium, Iacon
Nova Major was nervous as he had sat on the edge of the stage, Alpha Trion approaching him, “Nova Major, what trouble you?” he had asked, hearing that, the warrior had looked towards him, “Why are you not asking them for unity? You had asked each of us, why do you not ask them?” He had said and hearing that, Alpha Trion had vented as he went and sat besides the bot.
“It is because I am a failure, Nova.” he had said, surprising the warrior at that, “What?” he had asked in surprise, “The Council of Thirteen, all of us were fighting and failing to create a better Cybertron, I was too soft, Megatronus too hard, Prima was too righteous… and all of us together just made it worse.” he had told the Cybertronian who had looked at him in shock.
“But what of Galvatron? Of Dei Atlas, Jhiaxus or Cyclonus?” Nova Major had asked of him, making Alpha Trion chuckle at that, “Galvatron is too much of a warrior, he never desired to lead anything but warriors like him.” Alpha said, “None would trust a bot like Jhiaxus, they would think him a madmech,” he had said, “Dei Atlas has vision, but no mettle, and Cyclonus is strong in all but charisma.” he told him.
“You have fire, but you are also kind, you have vision, and the mettle to go through with it, You are a tribe of one, and thus, will show no favoritism to any of the others,” he had said to him, “You are the perfect candidate to unite our people.” he had told Nova who had taken a vent, “And what if it is wrong? What if I fail?” he had asked and hearing that, Alpha Trion had smiled.
“You have your council,” he had said to him, “They will help you up if you ever should.” The Prime had told him, making Nova nod, taking a vent at that when Threnody had went and approached, “We got the others here.” he had told them, making the Prime look to Nova, “Are you ready?” Alpha Trion asked, “No,” Nova had said, “But when has that ever stopped me?” he asked as The warrior had risen up.
______________________________________________________________________
Nova Major and Alpha Trion waited on the stage as the Twelve remaining tribes had approached, a few of Onyx’s Maximals were nervous as they had looked towards the warrior that had slaughtered so many pf their people, “My fellow Cybertronians!” he had shouted out, making the bots start to quiet down and look towards the bot, “We had faced much, we had SUFFERED much since the breaking of The Council of Thirteen!”
There were bots that had nodded at that, looking to each other for agreement in this, “Since then, we have been at war with each other! Breaking down what had been created for a victory that none would savor!” he had told them, “This is not the way of Cybertronians, this is the way of Maraudicons! Of Unicron!” he had told them, “But we are not disciples of Chaos! We are Disciples to Primes!” he shouted.
They had beaten their servos to their chassis’, slammed their pedes on the ground and cheered at that, “And for that! We must be one once more!” he had shouted out towards the bots there, “And who will unite us?!” one of Quintus Primes followers had shouted, “Nay!” He had shouted to them, “I will not be like The Thirteen!” he had shouted to them all.
“The Primes of old had absolute power!” he had told them all, “One bot should not have that much power!” He had told them, “It is to be shared! Like the Guiding Servo, we must work a one to achieve a greater outcome then we could separate!” he had told them, hearing that, the bots had started to mutter, “And who will be the other digits in this servo?!” one of the bots had said.
Hearing that, Alpha Trion had stood up, approaching the podium, “The prophecies of Vector Prime spoke of this!” he had told them, making them all wonder at that, “But they are not the end!” Nova said, surprising the others at that, even Alpha Trion, “All shall have a voice in this New Cybertron! All shall help make a change in the new world we will build together!
That had made the others like that as they had cheered, “What of all of the Bad Blood made between each other?!” a bot had shouted out, “We have lost thousands! Millions! Tour campaigns against each other!” the bot had said, “So we should only foget them? Make them the foundation for an empire?!” a bot had snarled towards the warrior who had shaken his helm “No!” he had shouted.
“They should be immortalized!” he had told them, “They are as important as us who will make the future!” he had shouted to them, hearing that, the bots there had nodded and liked the sound of that as Rhinox had went and spoken up, “And what will be the designation of the leader of our ‘New Cybertron’?” he had asked of them, and at that, Alpha Trion spoke, “What else?” he had asked.
That had made the bots all look towards each other, “So, we are supposed to call you ‘Nova Prime’?” another had asked, Nova was about to deny it, when there was a shining light, one that had made them all look and see as a orange orb had went and lowered itself, twelve smaller glowing spheres gently lowering it until the item was before Nova which was when a voice had spoken.
“You have been selected,” The Voice said, surprising them at that, “Lead wisely, my children, protect them, Nova Prime.” The voice had said, leaving the item in The Servos of Nova, the twelve spheres vanishing now and leaving all of them stunned at the moment, “Was that… Was that the voice of Primus?” Alpha Trion had asked in shocked, hearing that, the others couldn’t answer at all.
But Nova… Nova had felt something, a feeling as he had went and opened his chassis and his Spark Chamber, “What are you–?” Backstop had started before there was plunk as he had placed it inside and as he did, both him and Alpha Trion had tensed as they had both been dragged from their bodies and into a different plane of existence now.
______________________________________________________________________
Nova had felt as if he saw a army of torches, legions of them which all shined brightly and greatly, as he did so, Nova had felt a unity with each and every one of them all burning brightly with their strength, their passion, their love and their fury, he had felt them all before they had turned and saw that there was Thirteen familiar Face PLates before him, surprising him at that, “Welcome Brother.” They said, marking him as one.
______________________________________________________________________
Nova had awoken in shock and looked around, venting quickly at that as he saw that there was a crowd around him, Alpha Trion, gettin up unsteady on his pedes as he had went and put a servo to his shoulder plate, “Welcome, brother.” he had said with a smile before there was a weird commotion, “Welcome, Nova Prime.” Dei Atlas had said and hearing that, the others started to mutter that.
“Nova Prime.” “Nova Prime?” “Nova Prime…” was what they were all saying and as Nova heard that, he had smiled, liking that, but also because he saw their sparks in his minds eye, torches all burning brightly, but there was would be something that had made the bot want to… he didn’t know what it was, but the warrior did know that this was when the real work began.

Iacon
Nova and his… associates, comrades, whatever they were now, had went and gotten themselves situated in the old Council of Thirteen room, “So what should we start with?” Cyclonus had asked, hearing that, the others were all curious, “We should start with what Nova Prime had promised.” Dei Atlas had said, “Then we will need to gather a group of representatives for Cybertron.” Nova told them.
Hearing that, Galvatron got curious, “And how will we do that?” he asked, “Fighting in a room like we in The Darklands do.” he said with a chuckle, at that, Alpha Trion shook his helm, “No, we will let them vote within their kingdoms, such as when we in The Thirteen did as much.” he had told them, making the bots confused except for Jhiaxus, “Elections!” he said, clapping in satisfaction.
Then how will we do this?” Nova Prime had asked, hearing that, The Prime and The Scientist had both looked to each other before Alpha Trion pulled out a quill and then used it to carve into the wall, Jhiaxus approaching and muttering the clothes watched as the plan had started to come into fruition, seeing that, the bots had started to understand as Dei Atlas joined and Cyclonus started to write.
______________________________________________________________________
Nova Prime had approached them, nervous as he had looked at them, all, “What now?” one of the bots had asked, hearing that, the Prime had vented as Dei Atlas, Jhiaxu and Dei Atlas had went and offered the stone tablets to each and every one of them, making the bots look in confusion, all of them starting to read over the information, “What is this?” another had asked.
Hearing that, Galvatron spoke, “It is your chance of power.” He had said, hearing that, the bots had started to look into it and as they did as much, they saw that it was talking about a election, how they themselves would become lords called Senators, it was all manner of enticing to the more power hungry while the others had liked the sight that was before them, “Excellent.” one said to them.
“Go, let your people know, let them have a voice in our New Cybertron!” he had told them, making many of them go to contact the others while the few that seemed greedier in comparison to the others, but that wasn’t what wasn’t on their minds, making the bots go and look towards their comrades, all of them getting ready to talk about what was going on next.

Nova Prime’s Quarters, Iacon
The Six of them were all there and they had to start organizing, “So, we have the Elections commencing as we speak.” Alpha Trion had said, “That means that we have to prepare a proper place for the Senate to speak.” she had said, hearing that, the others had nodded, “We can use use the Stadium that Megatronus had used.” Galvatron had informed, making them others look.
“What?” Dei Atlas had asked, “Yes, my master had created it o that we can witness the victories of our people and the creations of Solus Prime.” he had said, making the other bots all look at that, “Look like we have our spot.” Cyclonus had said and hearing that, they had all went and moved away from the quarters and then to the Stadium to get things ready.
______________________________________________________________________
The Stadium, Iacon
The Senators that had been elected had all come in, whispering and looking around as Nova Prime had waited for them all, a bit nervous as he had went and slammed the butt of the spear he was holding onto the ground, making them all look as he had counted the Senators in his mind with the numbers Cyclonus gave him to be sure he had them all.
“Thank you, Senators.” he had said and hearing that, they were all a little cautious and confused, “If any of you wish to speak, raise your servo and we can begin.” he said, hearing that, a familiar face plat had risen his, “The Prime recognizes Senator Azimuth.” Nova had told them, making Azimuth nervous as he stood, I had heard what the others said, that you were given an artifact from Primus?”
“That is correct.” he had told them, making them all curious as they had went and looked towards each other, another raising their servo, “The Prime recognizes Senator Hierophant.” Nova had said and at that, the Senator of Lower Tetrahex had stood up, “May we see the artifact in question?” he had asked, hearing that, the Prime nodded as he had went and pried open the chassis.
Inside was the artifact which was glowing with a great blue light, the bots all looking and seeing their Prime inside of there as he had went and closed it, “Are there any other requests?” he had asked of them, “What are we to do with… this?” Senator Primordius had asked, not waiting, “Together, we are to decide the fate of our planet, is there anything that any of you wish to bring to the floor?”
At that, The Senator of The Mithric Sea had raised his servo, Nova not remembering his designation right now, “We need to prepare a stockpile for our people.” he had said, “We do not need starving Cybertronians becoming rebellious and dangerous.” he aid, others all agreeing at this, “All in favor of this action?” Nova Prime had asked, making a majority raise it.
“Excellent, we will begin work on the stockpile–” The Senator started when The Prime stood, “But there are threats to this plan as well!” he had said, making the bots all look in confusion, “I speak of The Maraudicons! The servants of Unicron that plague our home and attack our citizens! We must deal with them, expunge them from our world!” he said, making the majority cheer at the declaration.
“And who will lead this hunt?” Hierophant had questioned, “I know two that would lead our people in this endeavor!” he had said, “Galvatron of The Darklands and Deathsaurus!” he had shouted, making the Senator of The Darklands, Arcee, speak, “A Mighty warrior and a great Beast!” he had said, making the other warriors that had faced off against the bot agreeing that they would be perfect.
“Very well then! Our builders will begin work on a Stockpile, while Galvatron with Deathsaurus shall deal with the Maraudicons!” he had said, “If there is nothing else, then we will adjourn this meeting.” Nova had said, making the Senators all look at each other before they had started to move around and were a little bit confused at that before eventually they had started to discuss and think on what happened.

Alpha Trion’s Apartments, Iacon
The old Prime had looked towards the assembled group, “Well then, let us proceed with the hunt.” he said, turning towards the Darklander, “Will you and Deathsaurus be ready for the… justice, that Nova has decreed.” he said, him and Dei Atlas hating it while Jhiaxus and Galvatron agreed, only Cyclonus was completely neutral now as he spoke.
“It’s done, the Senate agreed, they’re fragged.” he had told the others as Dei Atlas spoke, “We can at least give them passage if they so choose.” Dei Atlas had said, making them curious, “And how would we do that?” Galvatron had asked of them, hearing that, Alpha Trion had spoken, “We give a rumor, let them know that the old fleet of Colony Cruisers are unguarded and safe, the only way to escape.”
They had all looked at that, “Does that please you, Galvatron?” Nova asked, knowing that he would do the deed and as he had grinned, Nova knew, “At least this would make it more fun.” he told them as the Darklander got up and grabbed his latest mace, “This should make a fun exercise!” he had said and for a moment, they all felt pity for the Maraudicons that would face the pair.

Prime Chambers, Iacon
There was a group of bots that were rebuilding the old buildings of Iacon, bringing new designs melded from the techniques of various architects and he knew that things were good, their planet was uniting, it was slow but methodical, any village, city or kingdom that they are able to contact are joining them and sending a Senator to speak for their people in whatever shape or form.
The annihilation of the Maraudicons was a vicious thing, they had done them in brutally, many of their smelted remains locked away and as he had seen Deathsaurus and Galvatron being praised in a parade in their honor, he had felt guilt, and a bit of relief that he had let that Maraudicon, Cannonball, free, but that wasn’t important right now, what was important was the present.
Now that they had dealt with the Maraudicons, there was a need for restructuring, there was a need for them to not be divided by the old ways and they needed to– “Greetings, Nova Prime.” Twelve voices had said, making the mech turn to see that there were Twelve bots with a single optic, like Censere’s brother, but there was something different about them.
“How did you get in here?” he had asked of them, cautious as he had reach for his ax subtly, “We are The Twelve, born from 000000004, we are here to help however we can.” they had said as Nova was a little confused, but glad that he had help, “That… that’s great.” he had said, glad for the extra help while they had begun to prepare for the tasks that he would have for them.
Meanwhile, Run, Censere, Tyrest and 000000004 had entered the city, looking as it had started to get rebuilt, “Well then, brothers, shall we?” Run had asked as the four bots had went and entered the city, looking around, happy that the City of Iacon was flourishing once again like when the first bots had walked the land, reminding them of the old days once more.
At that, the Guilding Servo had went and started to split up, all of them going to their own way now so that they can grow and develop in their own way amongst their children, not going to interfere just like Alpha Trion, it was all in the hands of Nova Prime and the others now, and thinking of that, The Four of them had all gotten a bit happier for the bots as they walked into the future.
