Axis sits. All she could do now was wait. Maximus sat next to her.
âIt basically means âendtimesâ or âend of the worldâ; when things are looking like it will all end and death is in the immediate future.â He explains, seeing her confusion.
âHey, fellow Fathers!â Auros called on the comlink. The other Angelicon leaders were surprised to hear their lost brotherâs voice. âI hope you donât mind me and my friends lending a hand.â
âTeletraan Iota, letâs go save the Matrix.â Seraphicon said as he sat down, praying that they would make it back to Cybertron in time to save it. âFull speed ahead to Trecedim, please.â He said.
âOh donât forget to tell them about me.â Hydro chuckles.âOh and that we are basically bringing a son of Megatronus into battle.â
âTheyâll find out soon enough.â Auros promised pointing at the Requiem Blaster.
Piston hefts his hammer, and Myriad forms Blackgem with Emerald.
âIt would be about time to see what its capable of.â Hammer said.
Killstreak and Coalburn meet again in the hangar, by the Divider.
âBack together again, huh?â Killstreak muses.
âWithout a plus one in the brain, this time,â Coalburn adds.
âHowâd you hear about that?â
âWell, Cargo told Zip, who told me. I knew something happened. After Beta Maxx joined, you got a lot nicer, and then a random bot came from Astrum that you seemed to hate.â
âWe have a history.â
Whetstone stands on the bridge of the Excalibur, watching the space for threats.
âA-firmative,â complies the synthesized voice of Teletraan Iota as the ship fades to Transwarp.
Liege Maximo and Beta Maxx had elected to remain aboard.
As the sun began to set behind the Hydrax Plateau, a gangly terrorcon lunges at Chaplain, pinning him to the ground and biting into his shoulder. Throughout the battlefield, the forces of good were being overwhelmed, and the battleships in orbit could not penetrate the Sparkchamberâs defenses. All seemed lostâŚ
But then a pillar of green-white energy lances into the ground amidst the battling armies, bathing the nearby metal hills in itsâ glow. Terrorcons and Cybertronians alike pause to stare at in wonder, as it fades to reveal Ironclad and those who had joined him.
Bootleg, Salvage, Razorwing, Daybreak, Nightfall, and Overgrowth draw and deploy their various weapons, ready for battle.
âYeah, was-SUP!â Bootleg hollers. âCavalryâs here, motha-ack!â
Bootlegâs one-liner is cut short as his voicebox shorts out and censors him.
âOh yeah, badaft entrance, for the win!â Salvage bellows.
Seraphicon was visibly worried as he held the container holding the Matrixâs Remains close to him.
Firestorm, giving a valiant effort to try and keep it to a minimum, was in a fair bit of pain as he felt the Dead Matrixâs signal through Darkâs Spark.
Fathers Auros brought out the Star Saber, âWe need to buy the others time to get Optimus, fix the Matrix and get back here.â He said to the team, âLetâs show these monsters what happens when they decide they can write the rules around here.â
Hammer placed the Rifle down and took the Requiem Blaster and attached it to his right forearm.
Hydro Rex grabs the Cryo Saber and grips it. âGet ready to chill.â Hydro said.
Absolution primes her blasters, a steady blue glow flashing as she begins firing at the undead.
Cargo instantly begins firing, shoulder-to-shoulder with Zip.
âI should have brought something other than my net gun!â the other half cries as he begins firing traps at the zombies.
âYou can use this artillery cannon.â Hammer told them.
Zip holds out his hands, and image similar to that of a hungry infant.
Ichor unfolded his mace and charged, with kladi riding his shoulder, and attempted to make the scythe a gattling gun
Axis sat and waited. Her mind swirled with thoughts and emotions. Frustration, stress, doubt, hopelessness, guilt, sadness, anger, worry, fear, and many more.
Maximus could tell something was wrong. He grabbed his dearest love and held her close.
âItâs going to be alright. I know weâll make it through this.â
Maximus said, attempting to comfort her.
âBut how do you know? You canât just say everything is going to go well and expect it to.â
Axis replied.
Maximus thought for a moment. He reflected on everything they had been through since joining. Everything he had experienced since meeting Axis. He looked down at the blue bird bot in his arms, and spoke.
âWhere courage, and pride fail, all that remains is faith. And it can overcome allâ
âThat was oddly poetic of you.â
Axis remarked.
âI have my moments.â
Maximus said with a smile.
Our heroes attacks cut into the undead around them, turning the tide of the battle.
All the heralds were currently within Unicronâs sparkchamber.
The Scythe complies.
She began firing
Hydro Rex waves with the Cryo Saber at them sending freezing waves as Hammer started aiming and firing at them with the Requiem Blaster.
ooc: Dangit. any way I can go there?
Piston swung his hammer in great strokes, attempting to smash several Terrorcons at once.
Blackgem unleashed a massive stream of bullets from her repeater, firing it at the terrorcons while she sliced at any that came close with her glaive.
