'I hope those two bots made it to a safe distance, before the Cybertron's Vengeance exploded.' I said in my head as my shuttle passed through the Space Bridge, to a location just outside of Earth's outer atmosphere and gently passed through it.
Setting the ship's course by clicking on a hard light holographic image of Earth to a stretch of Ocean close to a city named Mission City.
'If I remember the movies correctly Mission City is where the events of the first movie take place.' I expressed through my thoughts.
I took over from the autopilot after the shuttle broke through the ocean's surface and landed the shuttle in a deep crevice that should prevent detection.
Once fully landed, I quickly got out of the Captain's chair and started moving around the shuttle, cramming any weapons and other supplies in the shuttle's stores into my subspace, something that Quintessa overlooked emptying or she couldn't do it for some reason.
'Heh, greasy witch!' A curse ran through my mind as I pulled a holographic picture of us out of my subspace, it was our Spark joining day…pretty much the Cybertronian's version of a wedding day.
She had looked so beautiful to me then, I was so madly in love with her…maybe that was an effect of Quintus Prime creating her to be the perfect Queen and co-leader of Cybertron with me.
I clenched my hand into a fist crushing the small discus projector, and proceeded to chuck it at the wall of the shuttle.
"Teletran One, dispatch drones to search for an appropriate vehicle mode and start designing a flight mode acceptable to my taste preference." I commanded Teletran One my Shuttles supercomputer/super intelligence.
"Dispatching drones and creating a flight mode with this planet's species' creative design cues that the drones scan, estimated time to completion in three cycles." I heard Teletran One's reply and stepped into the recharging chamber to get some restorative sleep the energon cube ration that those bots fed me was enough to wake me from my stasis lock and even supply me with enough energy to fight but it wasn't enough to restore me to full operation as even right now I'm locked into full combat mode instead of being able to take my regular mode which looks very much like Quintessa and the other Quintessons that Quintus Prime molded in my likeness.

I woke up after powering down my systems after entering the charging chamber/stasis chamber, 'This is my throne in Cybertron.' The thought passes through my mind as I look out over a golden Cybertron teeming with life, rivers of Energon flowing like Roman aqueducts, space and ground bridges opening and closing all over the place allowing bots to come and go as they please.
A soft smile on my face as I watched the chaos of the children, my eyes drifting to the statues of my siblings, the thirteen primes, my smile shifted to one of sadness at their disappearance.
I hear Orion…now Optimus Prime, telling me that at least one of my siblings has perished, I hear Quintessa flying through the air and the other knights slowly entering my throne room.
Before I can turn around to greet everyone and see what they need, Optimus is sliding his sword through my back as my other knights surround me stabbing spears and swords through my limbs, but still I live.
Quintessa flies around to hover in front of and just above me.
"Orion, my Knight's why are you doing this?!" I question as I cough up energon it splatter against one of Quintessa's tentacles.
Then I see it their eyes are purple and Quintessa's staff is glowing with plasma arching off of it meaning she is using her abilities to control them.
"You shall not stand in the way of the Master's resurgence, I have already taken care of your siblings with Megatronus's help." Quintessa cackled and her betrayal for Unicron tore at my Spark nearly offlineing me permanently.
"My love, why are you doing this? Why side with the great destroyer who wishes to destroy all life in the universe?" I questioned Quintessa and she answered by shooting me full of lightning.
My optics went dark and then I woke up on the Cybertron's Vengeance, a medical bot tending to my injuries. She was a pretty little thing and a bit skittish too…but that was probably from the Sharkticons.
I watched her work patching me up to the point where my auto repair functions could take over, when she expressed that I would live Sharkticons descended on her tearing her to shreds and consuming her.
I fought against my stasis lock, against the stasis cuffs I even managed to break the cuffs and start coming out of stasis lock before my injuries made themselves known to me once more leaving me to helplessly watch the vile creatures consume that poor little fembot.

My fist crashed through the stasis chamber door as I dropped to my knees dry heaving, an action that is pointless in my Cybertronian body.
'Damn you, damn you, damn you Quintessa, I will have your head!' I roared in my mind as I punched the floor of the shuttle denting a metal plate into the shape of my fist.
"No more sleep mode for me." I grunted out as I righted myself. I see that my communications hub has a message from Teletran One who has located/created my land and flight vehicles.
A smirk made it's way onto my lips, "Autobots, it's time to transform and roll out!" I cheered softly but the childish love of that old saying doesn't quite fill me with as much childish glee as I had hoped it would, while I transformed into my new land vehicle mode.

I drove across the ocean floor after leaving my ship through the airlock, dozens of bystanders started to gather around me in my vehicle mode that looks like a 2012 50th anniversary edition Shelby GT 500 Super Snake.
As I drove out of the ocean and into the dry sandy beach, I revved my engine, then shifted into gear throwing up a sand cloud behind me, hitting the blacktop of a parking lot. I drifted throughout it leaving rubber marks behind in the process, before pulling out into the highway.
I drove until my problems seemed to melt away into the horizon, sometimes driving fast other times slowing down to take in the scenery.
Coming to a stop at a stop light sidling up alongside a Lamborghini Gallardo I revved my twin/dual charged engine, listening to the whining of the supercharger and my twin turbos that my replicated engine has.
The guy stopped beside me revved his car's engine using my Hologram driver. I signaled him that I want a race, and he agreed to it.
We took off from the green light like shots from a gun, I easily spanked the Lambo in the quarter and full mile swerving through traffic while the Gellardo driver pussied out.
'Ahh, that was fun.' I laughed internally and thought as I returned to a speed that was within the speed limits, a nice cruising speed and found myself in a secluded and empty park.
I spotted a short distance from me driving up to it and I transformed into my combat mode, and looked at myself in the reflection of the pond.
"Damn, I'm evil-looking…in a very sexy way. I love it!" I expressed as I looked over my combat mode, one of the five forms my body has.
Then I transformed into my non-combat mode and felt an immediate sense of disgust and discomfort, why? Because Quintessa and I look so much alike tentacles and all except my build is masculine and fit compared to feminine build.
Then I transformed into my human alt mode and damned if I'm not one sexy mother fucker, 'I look like a twenty year old Tom Welling but with amber/golden colored eyes.' I expressed in my thoughts as I admired myself and used the tentacles of my other form to form a sort of armor around myself that shifted to look-like my combat mode.
"Damn I look good, all the Honey's of this universe aren't gonna know what hits them when I hit the scene." I said with a laugh in my voice and started thinking about what I needed to do.
'I don't really want to be around Ori-Optimus Prime…not with our past, but I also want to be a part of the story…hmm, maybe I could become Mikaela's Cybertron guardian…that could work…it would put me close to the action but also keep on the sidelines a bit.' I expressed, in my thoughts and connected to a telephone line that cuts through the park.
I cut into the telephone line and through it I hacked my way into the world's network and created the paperwork for Mikaela to win me in a contest drawing.
The proceeded to hack into various government data banks and an insurance company making sure I was Mikaela's free and clear with insurance and everything before taking a look around to see what I can see without tripping any alarms and making false trails in the data streams in case anyone investigated my intrusions into various networks.
I located a few choice targets with the supplies I and my soon to be self appointed charge need to live comfortably.
When I finished with online stuff, I put Mikaela's home's coordinates into my navigation system, alongside cartel cash houses, transforming into my flight mode and activating stealth mode. I flew to the first cash house on the list.
I hovered over the first house and deployed drones that I picked up from the shuttle's stores. The small drones flew out of me and began scouting the cartel cash house.
I had my drones neutralize enemy combatants and start collecting the cash, while I lowered myself to the ground transformed into vehicle mode popped my trunk door and packed up to the easiest entrance/exit for the drones to load me up with large bricks of cash wrapped in plastic wrap, which I transferred to my subspace until we pilfered 17 million or so in U.S. currency.
