The Lost Letter

Nyon had always been known as The Burning Kingdom, a beacon of learning and growth in a land otherwise struggling. Such splendor could only shine for so long before it was extinguished though, and now the land was determined it should be dazzling in its final moments. From high up in the sky, where a lone lilith now fluttered, the distant clang of sword against shield and the screams of dying mecha could easily be mistaken for clapping and cheering. An inferno raged through the poorest neighborhoods of the capital city, started during the battle, that painted the night sky in the golden-orange of Nyon’s emperor’s standard.

In the face of all of this, the lilith hardly seemed to matter; it was simply another creature waiting to be crushed in Nyon’s death throes. However, the lilith was far more than another refugee fleeing the destruction. On its wings would ride the final hope of a revolution.

A small scrap of paper was tied around the lilith’s foot, and it read something like this.

To King Optimus, Protector of the Matrix and Rightful Lord of the Autobot City-States, His Esteemed Councilors, and all else who it may concern,

I am not sure if you aware that the Kingdom of Nyon has come into great turmoil in the past months. Zeta, the one who was proclaimed regent in the place of our rightful Emperor Rodimus, has attempted to usurp the throne now that our Lord is close to coming of age. This tyrant refuses to yield the power that was never truly his and the land suffers under his iron fist.

As I’m sure you are aware, Rodimus came to be fostered under your good friend Lord Dion. I will not retell how that came to be, but when it became clear that Zeta had unlawfully laid claim to Rodimus’s inheritance Lord Dion did what any honorable mecha would do. Organizing his forces, allies, and resources he mounted a rebellion against the usurper to reclaim the Kingdom of Nyon.

We had great hope for the rebellion until now. We fought our way to the gates of the capital only to be taken by surprise by a particularly harsh and well-organized counter attack. We have lost many and failed to reclaim Nyon for the rightful Emperor. With our forces diminished we have no choice but to retreat. I write to inform you of our wish to seek an alliance with your great kingdom of Iacon, with the hope of restoring life to the people of Nyon. We should arrive within several weeks to discuss the matter in person.

Signed,

Ultra Magnus, Captain of Guard for Lord Dion’s Estate

Hot Rod of Nyon

::Hey, Drift! I know you use like, swords and stuff, but do you know how to use a bow and arrows because I don't think anyone here does and I'm not sure learning from humans on that is the best idea?::

«Uh. I’m afraid not.»

«You might want to ask Atomizer, if you can find one.»

"What? No, yes, you have wings—that wasn’t the question. Hi!" Hot Rod waved his hand a little, optics wide.

More blinking and general confusion. “He... llo?”

Thundercracker looked up at the ceiling again.

“Do I need to make a call to Ratchet?”

'Caaaaaaause someone made a game closet in Omega and there's uh. metal cards with symbols and numbers on them, and I want to play with them but they won't work for any of the games I know.

Sounds like poker ta me. I’m bad at it myself but I could lend ya HiFi if ya wanted ta cheat someone outta their credits, I’m sure her sire wouldn’t mind her powers bein’ used for a devious purpose. 

Ironhide cheats, don’t play with him.

Contrary to popular belief, I like being useful.

You know I don’t believe that, Hot Rod. If I did, I would never have cleared you to be in the field. I’m not the kind to needlessly put a mecha in danger.

You have much to offer.

::Oh hey! There's more bots that aren't on the Ark? There's another base on Earth? What's a Protectobot? Are you like the Dinobots?::

Oh. First Aid didn’t recognize this frequency. 

:: A Protectobot is a combiner team. We’re a gestalt. There’s me and four others, and we call combine to form Defensor. ::

:: Ah… no. Not really. I mean, I guess a little? The Dinbots are kind of their own team and we’re kind of our own team. But we’re more like the Aerialbots than the Dinobots. ::

"Gyah-!" Have a Hot Rod falling from your ceiling.

“Wha-!” Have a Thundercracker reacting without thinking and now containing a lapful of Autobot. That he has no idea where he came from. The seeker blinked rapidly, optics trailing from the Autobot now in his lap and up to.... huh. His ceiling looked melted. 

And the Autobot was running very very warm.

“Uh.... Are you okay?”

Someone made a GAMES CLOSET in Omega!!

Oh really? sounds interesting

[rustedservos]

Why are some mechs' hands colorful but some of them have like black or white hands even though they're really bright looking and stuff do you think there's a reason for that?

Paint job.
