Cybertron: In the sea of Rust

Onslaught was charged on getting the Space bridge back online and to get communications with Shockwave and Soundwave, so he decided to call one of his combaticon companion, Swindle, to see if he was able to fix it.

“Is it fixed yet Swindle!?”

“I’m trying Onslaught.”

“Well, speed it up! Megatron wants it fixed in 40 cycles!”

“But Onslaught I don't know how to fix this, Shockwave built this from scratch.” The combaticon said.

“So.”

“So, I don't know how to fix this. I dont even know what the slag I’m fixing here.” The combaticon whined as he really don't want to fix something that he doesn't even know what it is.

“I think Shockwave called it a space bridge or something like that. He said that it allows us to travel to any planet we want.”

“And why do we even need this thing?”

“Shockwave said that he found a world that has enough energon to replenish Cybertron.”

“Seriously.”

“Yup.”

“Well if thats the case then why don't we all go to this “planet” and take it for ourselves, why wait for Shockwave and Soundwave.”

“Because Shockwave wanted to see if its the real deal or not.”

“Sooooo, what do you think it is? Legit or not?”

“I would say legit, Shockwave’s been doing great with his predictions, I don’t see why he would be off this time”

“Good point. But wait, didn't you say that Shockwave said there were no vehicles on the planet.”

“Yea what about it.”

“Then how in Primes do they plan on not getting detected by the inhabitants?”

“Well you wouldn't believe it, but Shockwave somehow found a way of turning into one of the organics.”

“......You're kidding right?”

“Nope. Did it what in front of us, even Megatron couldn't believe it.”

“Wow…..Soooo what did he turn into.”

“He turned into what looked like a small creature with four legs and a tail, he also had what looked like a horn on his forehead.”

“How could he do that though?”

“He said that he used what the inhabitants call magic. Apparently he said that this so called “magic” is just engeron radiance and he was able to manipulate it.”

“humph…..Is there any side effects to it?”

“He said nothing major except for crying, laughing, love and other emotions that organics feel.”

After Onslaught finished he happened to notice the combaticon was chuckling to himself. “What's so damn funny?” Onslaught asked with annoyance in his voice .

“Its nothing…..Its nothing, I was just thinking is all.”

“You're not supposed to think Swindle. I called you up here to fix it, not to make stupid conversations.”

“But Onslaught I really don't know what to tell you, I don't know how to fix it.”

“Would you like to repeat that to Lord Megatron?”

“No, you wouldn’t dare!”

“Then, why don’t you get back to work? Honestly sometimes I just want to-”

“I GOT IT!”

“What…..You fixed the space bridge?”

“Ummm...No….But I did fix the communications with Soundwave and Shockwave. Now we have full range on their communications.”

“Good work Swindle, I will be sure to let Megatron know that we have communications with them. While I’m gone, see if you can get in contact with them.” Onslaught ordered.

“I’m on it.”

“Good.” Onslaught said as he was ready to head for Megatron but was stopped by Swindle.

“Hey Onslaught can I ask you something.”

“What is it.”

"This planet that Shockwave is studying…...Do you think that maybe…..I don't know, we might make a living there?”

“Maybe. If Lord Megatron chooses to. But you know Megatron, his stubborn.”

“I know but, what if Shockwaves wrong and this planet doesn't have enough energy to replenish Cybertron. What would we do?’

“I don't know Swindle…..I just don't know.”
