Now Let Us Go Forth
Iacon
Nova Prime had been venting as he had looked at the latest data that had been put before them, it was becoming a bit troublesome, but in the end, the experience that he had, flying in the void, visiting those stars, it was beautiful and it had made him want to see more now before thinking on something, something that he thought would be good for him to do before there was a noise now.
Nova had looked as he had seen that there was The Peacekeepers who were approaching a group of bots who had made them cautious and then made Nova Prime angry as he had seen them beating upon them, “What is this?!” he had questioned of The Peacekeepers, making them turn towards the Prime, “Lord Prime!” one of them had said as they had seen the bots and how the beaten one was so scared.
“Lord Prime, it is a Maraudicon.” one of them had said and hearing that, Nova Prime had glared towards the bot having a angry green bot face plate with a pair of blades underneath the helm, “I am not a Maraudicon!” he had shouted out, making the bots all look at him in confusing, “I am a Seeker of The Stars!” he had said, making them all look in confusion.
“I had only come here to offer trade!” he had told them and hearing that, Nova Prime was curious at that as he had approached, going and kneeling down to him, “So then… you are a… Star Seeker? And you wish to trade what?” he had asked, making the bot smile at that, “Maps! Metals! Materials that we had found thanks to our Maraudicon predecessors!” he had told them.
That had made Nova Prime curious before he had went and stood up, “Then come, and we will be happy to talk about what we can do together.” he had said, making him scrabble forward and as he had followed, The Prime had wondered what this Star Seeker could have for them as he had went and walked through the streets and towards a future that could be quite interesting.

Luna 2
Nova Prime with Cyclonus, Dei Atlas, Jhiaxus and Galvatron had looked towards the planet and the stars, “So then… they didn’t die.” Dei Atlas had said, glad for that as they had noticed the vessel that The Star Seekers had been using to come here, “No, instead it seems that they had survived and have learned how to reproduce off of Cybertron without Hotspots.” Jhiaxus had said to him.
That had made them curious before Galvatron remembered something, “There was a theft a while back, someone had stole a cache of sparks–” “Add that in, and there were likely cosmic storms that gave them the power… and you have a way to–” “But what about this… this Arena that they can barter and trade in?” Cyclonus had asked of them with Nova Prime nodded at that.
“We can’t trust them not to go back to their Maraudicon ways, so we need to be smart, to be cautious, Deathsaurus will be stationed here to keep the peace, and keeping them in this arena if they have no pass is the best option.” Nova Prime had said and hearing that, Dei Atlas had looked towards them, “So then… what should we call this?” he had asked, making a new voice spoke.
“How about Raskol Arena?” Straxxus had asked as he had come in, the Builders that were building all coming from Darkmount and bowing their helms towards the master of their home, “Why Raskol?” Galvatron had asked, “It’s the name of The Star Seeker you caught.” he had told him as his Beast–Type landed on his shoulder plate, “This way, we can make it look like he earned it.”
That had made the others dislike it, not seeing the point for that, but if it kept The Star Seekers and other visitors happy, then it was better than nothing as they had readied for the arrival of Raskol who had come in looking beaten and scared, “Raskol!” Nova Prime had said as he approached, “How would you like to have this place named after you?” he had asked before they got to brass tacks.

Raskol Arena, Luna 2
Team Prime as well as a collection of Senators, soldiers and others that had been made officials by their Senators as they had seen the first of their visitors come, “And that is your… chapter?” Cyclonus had asked Raskol who had sent the message to them, “Yes, that is the Prancing Cybervore.” he had told them, making the officials all a bit more nervous as it had started to land.
The bots had all watched it and were cautious as the ramp had opened and now had reveal that there was a large Beast–Type in the form of a Bull walking down in his Beast Mode, “Raskol.” the Captain had said to them, snorting as his other bots that made the crew walked down, “Captain Longhorn.” Raskol had said as the bot transformed, almost as tall as Galvatron and no weapons in his servos.
He had looked at them all and then grinned, “Raskol!” Longhorn had said, going and hugging him, “You were able to get us all this? Incredible!” he had said and hearing that, Raskol had nervously nodded at that while Nova Prime had went and started to think, “I need to call the other chapters, let them know that–” “How many can you trust?” Cyclonus had asked of the bot.
That had made Longhorn look towards him with a smile, “There are roughly six that I can trust, otherwise… you’ll need to boot them.” he had explained and hearing that, the bots hadn’t a proper reaction to that, some of them liked it, some of them though were more confused on what was being said, “Boot them?” Dei Atlas had asked and hearing that, the Star Seeker spoke.
“Booting, it’s when we magnetize a vessel to a surface and disable the weapon systems so that they cannot attack the establishment, we used to do this all the time.” he had told them, making Galvatron grin, “Tell me more about these Boots.” he had said towards the Pirate, helping him move and as he had done so, the others had started to come out and look around, all of them amazed at what they had seen.
The Merchants that were there had all started to shout out and tell them about their wares and as they had done so, the Prime and the others were all seeing this, a lost group of their people all watching them and as they had done so, Nova Prime had looked to Straxxus, “Straxxus…” “You want me to create some form of defense? Or deal with these Star Seekers?” he had asked.
Nova had vented at that as he had went and pulled out a schematic that he had in mind, “Something like this at least.” he had said, making Straxxus look it over before grinning, “This… this I like.” he had said towards him before looking to the Builders, “You! You! Come here!” he had ordered and hearing that, they had went and prepared for everything that they would need.

Croaton, Upper Tetrahex
The members of Colonial Security were all going through the training and as they had done so, The Titan had felt the presence of his comrade who was approaching and with that, he had opened up and made the others all curious and watch as they had seen that there was Galvatron who was walking in and had grinned as he had went and tapped Cyclonus’ shoulder plate.
“We need to begin searching for a Star Seeker fortress nearby that Longhorn had told me about.” Galvatron had said, going and pulling up a few files that were there and a Colonial Security Star Map that was there, “Here are the locations where it is usually located.” he had told Cyclonus who had looked as well, “Now if your team sends the space fliers there then–” “Here.” Cyclonus said.
That had confused Galvatron as he had pointed towards an asteroid belt that was beyond everything that they had searched, “How can you know–?” “We tracked The Rock Lord Migration Patterns,” Cyclonus had said, “They go after natural metals, but they always avoid this Asteroid Belt.” Cyclonus had told the mech, making him smile as he had seen everything that was there.
That had made Glavatron laugh as he had patted him on the back of the fellow warrior, “I knew that you were perfect for the job!” Galvatron had told him, “How soon can you get there?” he had asked, making the swordsmech think, “I have a plan, but none of you are going to like it.” he had said, making the Darklander curious as he had went and listened to his plan.

The Bleeding Cup, Corsair Station
The Star Seekers were there laughing and enjoying their engex, a few of them had a small ring that had some small organics fighting, they were laughing, enjoying themselves when a bot had barged in, he had navy blue plating with a piece of metal welded over his left optic, a shroud over his shoulder plates as he had went and sat down, looking around as the bartender had approached.
“Name and Chapter?” She had said, making the bot look, “CAPTAIN Razorscythe of The Rupture Chapter.” he had said, making the bartender glare, “The Rupture Chapter was murdered Five Vorns ago, you can’t be–” “A Survivor that had just gotten my ship back in order? That I am.” he had said, making the Bartender scowl, seeing the Rupture brand on his chassis.
The Bartender had offered a glass, “Welcome to Corsair Station, my name’s Cocktail, if you have any loot, talk to the boss of the station.” Cocktail had told him, making the bot look around, “And where can I find the boss?” he had asked and hearing that, the bartender had smirked, “Oh, she’s usually pouring people a drink.” she had said and hearing that, Razorscythe had vented.
“You’re the boss?” he had asked, making her grin, “Captain Cocktail of The Corsair Chapter.” she had told him, pushing a glass forward, “Now what do you have to trade for that?” she asked, making Razorscythe go ahead and drop a cube of energon before them, making Cocktail and a few others all look at that and were hungry, “Do you mind?” she had asked of him.
Hearing that, Razorscythe had nodded, motioning for them to go ahead and do as much, Cocktail had went and pulled out a spike, going and stabbing into the cube, the lights of the spike starting to beep and crawl upwards and as they had done so, the spike had finally finished and had beeped green which had made them look towards them in curiosity as Cocktail grinned.
“This is the highest purity that I’ve ever seen.” she had told him, making the bot look at him with a wide grin, “I take it you’re not a Maraudicon turned Star Seeker like a few of the others?” he had asked, making Cocktail nod, “Won it from The first Cannonball.” she had told him before smiling, “Would you be so kind as to make a contract with me?” she had asked of him.
That had made Razorscythe look, “You want a monopoly on my supply?” he had asked her, making Cocktail give another look, “And where did you learn a vocabulary like that?” she had asked of him, making the captain scowl, “What? I can’t learn how to properly talk like all of those people trying to trick me.” he had said, making the bartender/station commander nod at that.
“My ship is docked and has a dozen more cubes like this and our supply is happy to offer more at Raskol Arena.” he said, making one of the Beast Types there look towards them, a parrot like one with a serpent tail, “What’s Raskol Arena?” he had asked, making the bots look towards him with interest, “This new place that Cybertron set up.” he had explained towards him, drawing more in.

Croaton, Corsair Station
Razorscythe had walked in and as he had done so, the bot had went and looked towards his crew, all dressed up like Star Seekers like Longhorn and Raskol told them, “We’re in the clear.” he said, making the crew cheer, “Remember your covers, I am Razorscythe and we’re nomadic, we only VISIT Cybertron.” he had told them all and they had all started to cheer towards them.
The bots had started to rush out now and as they had decided to rush out en masse and as they had done so, Cyclonus had went and looked at his supply, the bot going and looking at this plan that they had and having no idea what Nova Prime and the others were thinking, but he was a soldier, so he would do all of this crazy and hope that there’d be less crazy in the future.

Raskol Arena, Luna 2
The former gladiators had both looked at each other, circling in the ring that was there before they had heard the sound of citizens cheering out loud now and hearing that, they had looked at each other before the two of them had charged towards each other, “Raagh!” Galvatron went, doing a downward swing that Arcee blocked with both of his blades before kicking his chassis.
The two of them glaring as Arcee had went and reversed his grip of his blades and ran forward, hitting him in the left optic with the butt of his blade while Galvaron had drawn a blade and went and stabbed him him in the gut before slashing at his pedes, the two of them glaring as Arcee had dropped his blades then went and helmbutted him again, and again, and again, and again before they had started to laugh.
The two of them goin and laughing at each other as they had then went and hugged at each other, the two of them smiling at each other as they were embracing, looking around before they had went and headed towards one of the exits there, holding each other and as they had done so, the two heard the cheering, the crowds that had watched them happy at the sight.
Both of them had went and started to head towards the locker where the medics were waiting, they had already started to repair his optic as they had looked, “I’m so happy to see that we can still have fun like this.” Galvatron had said towards Arcee, smiling, Arcee had went and seen that Longhorn had approached, “I heard about something in Corsair Station.” he said to them.
“Oh?” Galvatron said, making him look to Arcee who shrugged, “I’m loyal to my twin, I don’t squeal.” he had said to him, making Longhorn nod in respect towards that before he had went and pulled out a few images that were there, “Cocktail said that she’s sending a few of her mechs your way, wanting to see if it’s a good deal.” he said, making Arcee look, “She?” Arcee asked.
“Yeah, Cocktail is the commander of Corsair Station, and I haven’t met a bot scrappier than her.” he had said, showing a few images and as they had seen those, the senator had felt something again and as they had looked, Arcee had went and started to walk away, “I’d like to hear more.” Arcee said, Longhorn following after and happy to have a friend like the senator there.

Residential Area, Iacon
Alpha Trion as well as the scholars that he had been sending out had all been looking around and as they had done as much, Alpha Trion saw that there was quite a few that were there who were making him smile, seeing the peace that was brought forth with all of the bots there looking peaceful, no tribal markings, no weapons, it was something that he wanted for a long time.
Alpha Trion had went and seen that one of the bots had fallen, seeing them, he had smiled before going and helping him up, making the young bot smile at that when they were once guarded and ready to kill each other, the former Prime had looked at another bench before he had went and sat down, “Alpha Trion–?” one of the bots had asked, “It’s fine.” he said to him.
“I just want to sit and enjoy the astrocycle.” he had said towards him and hearing that, the group had all looked at each other before they had decided to go and walk away, letting him take a deep vent as he had went and closed his optics, feeling everything and knowing that there was nothing but light in their future as the bots had all started to walk around him.

The Omega Lock, Hydrax Plateau
Dei Atlas and Jhiaxus had both been looking at the data that had been sent, as they had done so, the two bots had all started to think about everything that had happened and they had went and looked over everything before they had seen that there was so much that they were close to, just a little farther and one astrocycle they would be able to meet their cousins who had been brought into the stars.
“I have been studying The Titans.” Jhiaxus had told him, “And I am starting to make something,” he said, “Something that will allow us to travel through the stars on our own power.” The Scientist had said towards him and hearing that, Dei Atlas had looked as he had opened up a scroll that he had brought with the information that was there, making him curious.
“This is… what do you call this?” Dei Atlas had asked, making Jhiaxus smile as he had imagined so many of them going and flying up through the stars now, “I call it The Ark Program.” he had explained and hearing that, the Senator had nodded, “I like that.” he had said and hearing that, the two of them had went and started to think on how they would be setting this all up.

Nova Peak, Iacon
Nova Prime had walked, looking at everything that was there before he had went and headed towards one of the maps that was there, smiling as he had done so, remembering a few things as he had looked over everything that was there before the cataclysm and after the Civil war, he had went and headed vented at that, thinking on everything that was there.
It was… it was all incredible, they had all worked together and as they had done so, the planet had thrived more and more together which had made them able to grow their cities and with it, allow them to become a united people, venting as he had leaned back, The Prime had realized that there was so much that they had gained, but there was also so much that they had lost as well.
There were relics that The Primes had hidden, there was also The Primes who had went and started to go out to the stars as he had looked at everything, Nova had remembered the battle which had made him think as Nova had compared the recent takes before seeing that there was something in the old plains that had made him smile as Jhiaxus had entered, “Lord Prime–!”
“I told you to please stop calling me that.” he had said towards him as The Scientist had went and shown him something interesting, “This is The Ark project.” he had said towards him, “A way for us to expand and then go to see the colonies that are all out there.” he had said with a grin before Nova had nodded, “Yes, that is good for the future, but there’s something else.” he said to him.
“There’s also the fact that we need to remember the past.” he had said and hearing that, Jhiaxus was curious, looking at everything that was there, “This is a blank spot.” Jhiaxus had said towards him and hearing that, Nova Prime had smiled at that, “Alright then, we best prepare ourselves for an expedition.” he had said towards him, making the Flyer nod at that.
“I will go ahead and inform the others.” he had said and hearing that, the Prime had grinned, liking the sound of that as he had went and walked away while Nova Prime had went and drawn his ax, looking at it with a smile, remembering when he was a warrior, but now, now he was something more, he was going to be a leader instead as Nova Prime grinned towards all of it to see what was left behind.
