Episode one:
A new beginning part 1

*a bright blue light can be seen as voices spoke out. A feminine figure walked out holding a legendary relic, the Matrix of Leadership*

Female figure- the time of reckoning will soon be upon us. The cataclysm will come. You must find your birthright. Become our savior, before our world, our way of life, our universe.

*the light started to break apart, revealing darkness and purple light as the figure was dispersing*

Is lost forever 

*the voices and the figure disappeared. Then, explosions from all around open the room into an open area, there was war, death, destruction and dead bodies all around, bots getting over run and fighting for their lives, one dinobot holding out more and longer than others and helping others while still fighting his own life, his energy was slowly depleting like the energon leaving his body, he falls to his knees but keeps fighting standing infront of the innocent and his fellow soliders, defending them.*

???-Father! Father I'm here!!!

???2- no! Stay there with them, you have to get away, I'll give you as long as I can *closes the entrance to the outside and stands in front of it with his axe and shotgun read*

???- no father please! *tears running down her faceplate as she banged against the doors*

???2- take her! Keep her safe! I'll see you soon * he runs forward and rawrs in anger and starts killing the enemy left, right, and center but getting more and more hurt*

*she is dragged away by what can be seen to be an older Bumblebee and older sideswipe, with a much older ratchet leading the way*

??? -*struggled against their grasps* let me go I've got to help him! *a huge explosion pushes her back* NNOO!! *tears up and falls to her knees. The scene moved out revealing a purple sphere eye with a menacing glow. she awoke in a cold sweat*

*panting heavily, she got up from her berth, hand on her unarmored breastplate which had two large bullet shaped bulbs as she moved strands of neon blue cables and wires that served as hair. Her body was Turquoise with Violet tinting. She then heard a knock on her door*

???- sweetie? •Virtue? Are you ok

Virtue- yes, daddy. *sighs closing her blue optics* just a bad dream
_________________
Virtue-*narrative*my name is Virtue and I was cursed by these horrible nightmares since the Fall of Cybertron, home of my kind, the Transformers. My mom, the Decepticon XLR8, died trying to protect me. I was found by my Father, a Dinobot by the name of Slade, who protected me throughout the long and tragic war between Autobots and Decepticons. Overtime, the battlefield ever changing, one last battle turned the tide and brought the Autobots to victory. Some of the Decepticons were granted amnesty while others were either imprisoned or disappeared into the darkness of space. Twenty Earthen years have passed since that day, and the two factions have slowly created a new golden age, from both their home planet to other worlds including a beautiful blue marble called "Earth". And this is where our story begins...

*into the story no more narrating, Slade and virtue were driving their vehicle modes. Virtue was a Turquoise-Violet Jeep with crimson windows, while Slade was a dark construction vehicle with parts that were Dino like*

Slade- you nervous?

Virtue - why would I be nervous? *nervous chuckle*

Slade - you seem worried, still thinking about your nightmare?

Virtue - kinda

Slade- wanna talk about it? You can talk to me anytime, you know that, I'm always here to protect you

Virtue - yeah I know thanks dad, love you

Slade - love ya too, we are just about here now

Virtue- it isn't every day that you get assigned to a deep space exploration unit *they arrived at an entrance of a docking bay. Virtue started to transform, the front of the jeep turned into two legs as she started walking in. Her upper body spun around revealing her upper torso and head*

Slade-*his back wheels extend and he launches himself in the air a bit, his body collapsing in on itself then into a large mech and lands doing a super hero landing, kneeling with one opened hand on the floor and then stands up and followed her* well I'm here with ya if you need anything 

Virtue- yeah thanks dad

Slade- let's head inside

*they walk in and are greeted by an older Ironhide and Arcee*

Slade- hey you two!

Ironhide- well if it ain't Slade *they shake hands* how the scrap are ya?

Slade- good, you?

Ironhide- not bad, this must be virtue I ain't seen you since you were this tall *gesters height with his hand*

Arcee- how are you virtue?

Virtue- I've been good Arcee. I'm about to be assigned to a deep space exploration.

Arcee- oh congratulations

Iron hide- nice one kid, ya nervous?

Virtue- n no *laughs nervously*

Slade- *looks at his wristwatch* hey, good luck, sweetie. I got to get over to the construction area for work. 

Virtue- o ok Dad... *hugs him tightly holding back tears* I'll miss you.

Slade-*pats her helm, a few tears come down his face* I'm going to miss you too. But don't worry, you have your little friends right?

Virtue- *wipes her optics with a smirk* heh, I never leave home without them *her Breastplate armor opened and out came two cassette shaped data pads which transformed into a mini T.rex and a human sized robot* •Dinosteel and •Residue reporting for duty.*the two saluted to Slade*

Slade- heh, I'll leave her with you then*he transforms into his vehicle mode and drives off to the construction site*

Iron hide- let's get onboard

*they all walk onto the ship*

Arcee- bumble bee will be taking command of this shuttle and missions, he is more than capable to command this vessel, 

Iron hide- come on kid well give you the grand tour, follow me, save all questions till the end of the tour

Virtue - ok *she giggles as she follows them, her minicons returning to cassette mode and into her breastplate*

*the three entered a giant room that had stacks and stacks of supplies which the crew was restocking*

Ironhide- this here is the storage room, which is where we keep our fuel, ammo, Energon, and other spare resources. Feel free to look around 

*Virtue looked around awe inspired at the view as she walked around. She then felt herself bumped into something and land on the ground. She looked up to see a heavily armored Dinobot. The Dinobot looked down at her, making her shudder with fear*

Virtue-(*oh scrap! He looks mad. I've seen what happens when Dinobots get angry. Oh Primus I think he's going to hurt me!*)

*just then the Dinobot stuck out his hand*

???- lady ok?

Virtue- huh?! Oh y yeah I'm ok. *takes his hand* I'm Virtue.

???- most people call me •Nutshell. Me thinks you new here.

Virtue- oh, uh yeah I just arrived.

*just then, a red bot which turned out to be an older Sideswipe came in*

Sideswipe- Nutshell. Those Energon cubes go on that pile *points to it*

Nutshell-oh yeah. Nutshell see Virtue later.*starts carrying the cubes*

Virtue- (*I didn't know that they have a few Dinobots here. Perhaps I'll like it here*)*spots a wide variety of Autobots. She then saw two combine together and transform into a Crane*(*theres even Cross Drivers! Man they must be lucky to be two bots who combine to make a vehicle*)

Arcee - ok time for the next area

*they walk to the barracks*

Iron hide - this where we all sleep the sections are separated so all women together and all men together, next is the engine room, you won't have to go in here much if ya not an engineer.

*they head to one room that stood out. It was an area housing a medical center, a data center, and an area for scouts. The room was labeled with an Identification number*

Arcee- and finally, this is area was designed specifically for our scouting teams which you are going to be assigned. *looks at the time* We should get you to the bridge, they're holding an introduction to the newcomers.

*as they head to the upper levels where the bridge is, they hear a conversation. It was an older Cliffjumper giving a smaller blue and green female mech that shared Cliffjumper's design a chat*

Cliffjumper: you should be careful around the bigger bots. And note that you should slow down when talking. You usually end up like Blur jacked on high grade Energon.

???- come on Uncle Cliff, You know when I get riled up, it's hard to slow-*notices the three from a distance and screamed with delight* VIRI!!!*zooms past Cliffjumper, practically tripping him*

Virtue-*hears this and her smile grew* only one bot alive knows that nickname.*spots the little femme and runs with her arms out*•HYMN!! You little chatterbot you!!

*the smaller mech jumped into Virtue's arms as she hugged her like a kid would a doll and soon they were chatting away*

Ironhide- hey there cliff

Cliff jumper- ow ow ow*gets up* oh hey Ironhide, Arcee, Hm little Virtue, not so little any more

Virtue- hello cliff jumper, your one of the crew members on this ship?

Cliff jumper- yep and I see you remember my niece from the academy

Virtue- feels just like yesterday we were training together 

Arcee- Slade came with her, I guess he's gotten use to being a construction bot, he still has his Dino form

Cliff jumper- really? He must be one strange looking vehicle.

Ironhide- anywho, they should get moving. The Introduction was going to begin soon

*they head to the bridge where many Autobots were mingling*

Autobot 1- hey check out the two new fem bots, they're kinda cute

Autobot 2- one of them is Bumblebee's daughter and the other is the daughter of a dinobot called slade

Autobot 3- the slade?

Autobot 2- the very same who served during the war between the Decepticons and Autobots?!

Autobot 1- damn. Makes me wonder who her mother was

Autobot 3- and why she isn't a Dinobot like her father.

*a green and yellow mech was walking around till he got to his large friend, Nutshell*

???- hey nutshell there you are fella, come on its about to start

Nutshell- Nutshell coming.*spotted a red and white mech walking with a white and blue mech*Hey •Element, •Venture

Element- hey old friend.*pulled out a data pad*  can't wait to get my hands on that new medical tech. Oh the samples I can get my hands upon.

Venture- sigh, you and your pension for samples. Stop looking at data pads and start looking at the beautiful femmes here!

*bumblebee walks out with an older Jazz stands in front of the rookies which all stood at attention*

Bumblebee - hello every one, I am bumblebee, I am in charge and in command of this vessel, what I say goes, anyone disregarding my orders will be dealt with by me and the senior officers Jazz, Cliffjumper, Hound, and Sideswipe.

Rookies: YES SIR, COMMANDER BUMBLEBEE!

*the green and yellow mech spotted then glared at Virtue. His mind went back to when he was heading to the bridge early. He overheard the Bumblebee talking with his officers*

Bumblebee- we will be receiving a Autobot named Virtue. We'll need to keep our eye on her in case of trouble.

Cliffjumper- you mean Slade's kid?

Hound- what's that gotta do with anything?

Bumblebee- because her mother was XLR8

Hound- XLR8??!! You mean the same one as Megatron's Second Lieutenant?! How do you even know this?

Bumblebee- Because It was Slade who told me himself. There's no telling what our crew would do knowing that truth but we must keep it a secret

Cliffjumper- agreed 

*back to the present, two rookies head to the green and yellow mech*

Rookie 1- hey, •Broadbolt, you ok?

Rookie 2- yeah your just staring at that girl, ya like her?

Broadbolt- what? No! I got to tell you guys something but we can't tell anyone else, let's get to somewhere hidden

*they move to a less crowded area and into a private area*

Broadbolt- that girl, virtue is the daughter of the decepticon XLR8

Both- what!?

Broadbolt- Sh Sh Sh sh, keep it down numbskulls, we can use this to our advantage, but we have to choose our time

*just then an announcement came on overhead*

Bumblebee- to all crew members aboard the Avalon, we shall be taking off shortly. We need all members to their posts for proper launch protocols.

*the three looked at each other then ran to their posts in a comical fashion. Soon enough, the ship was preparing to launch shaking as if there was an earthquake*

Cliffjumper- prepare for launch in
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF!!!
*the ship rumbled as it flew through the sky. At a construction site, Slade looked up at the ship while lifting a girder*
Slade- safe travels, Virtue 
______________________

*elsewhere, on a barren planet, devoid of any life, covered by purple crystals, bodies, and crashed ships, a single tower made from rocks and scrap jutted outward in monument to a broken world seen above. Within the twisted tower, pass its halls of purple crystal and corpses, a crude throne could be seen as well as a large cloaked figure seen sitting upon it. When his violet optics opened, a purple flame burned within them*

???- my minions, awaken. The time has come.

*two hooded figures walk towards the figure, one has gorgon like features, the other mantis features*

????- yessss my lord? What isss thy biding

??????- what do we get to cut up up up?hehehahahahaha

???- the child has left Earth *stands from his throne* as I envisioned. You all know what you must do

*the two bowed before leaving while the dark figure moved his cloak to reveal his chest which had an orb that resembled a Demonic eye that glowed a sinister purple. His hands bursted into purple flames and electricity which he slammed into the ground. The shockwave reacted to the purple crystals, which lit up the planet with a dark purple light. Soon after, metal corpses started to rise and screech*
_________________

*the Avalon came flying outside a space bridge and flew towards a small moon of an outer rim planet*

Bumblebee- we're approaching the  moon of Nebulon. This area will be where we see what you explorers are made of. Be sure to find your quarters before we start our descent.

*as virtue was making her way to her quarters, three of the cadets jump her and attack her, hurting her badly, their faces were covered but had unique colour schemes, one magenta and gold, one blue and silver and one silver and white*

Virtue-*coughs up Energon* w who are you guys?!

???- we know who you are, Decepticon child. And we plan to eradicate any threat to our crewmen.

Virtue-!!*horrible memories resurfaced as two restrained her and one started beater her up*

*elsewhere, Element hears the commotion while with nutshell and the two make their way to it and just in time to help her. Nutshell takes on two while element takes on the third one which was the fastest but he handled them himself, he is able to kick the one away and nutshell slams the two he fought against each other  and throws them to the third one and they run off* 

Nutshell- virtue ok? They hurt you?

Element- nutshell go after them and find out who they are or how to recognise them, I'll help her

Virtue *holding back her tears then ran off, knocking them aside with tears running down her faceplate*

Element- *sighs* lets report this to the captain bumblebee and the senior officers. I'll take care of her afterwards.

Nutshell- ok, nutshell remember what they look like so we can spot them

*they walk off to find bumblebee and the senior commanders*


Bumblebee- Element, Nutshell. What brings you to the bridge?

Nutshell- Virtue hurt
______________

*within Virtue's private quarters, Dinosteel and Residue were trying to comfort Virtue, who was on her berth with her face and hands into her knees*

Residue- ey, come on boss, it's not your fault. 

Dinosteel- yeah. Those cowards fought dirty

Residue-*a long pause. Turned to Dinosteel* your not helping, bolt brain.

*a knock was heard on the door*

Virtue-go away 

Element- Virtue? It's Element. C-can I come in?

Virtue- *sniffles* sure I guess * sitting on her bed with her knees to her face, tears down her face*

Element- *walks in and sees residue and dino steel* you have minicons? Thats so cool!

Virtue- really? Thanks, sorry I didn't get your name

Element- it's element, I'm guessing you've met my big friend who also helped you

Virtue- nutshell? Yeah he seems nice

Element- yeah... look, about earlier. Why'd those two attack you 

Virtue-*shudders then looked down* 

Residue- you don't have to tell him if you don't want to, boss.

Dinosteel- yeah grrrr. He'll probably react the same way 

Virtue- sigh, no. I probably should've told someone about it.*nods to the minicons*

*the two look at each other then their eyes glowed creating a small hologram of a Decepticon femme that looked like Virtue but more slender and has a different torso chassis*

Element- a Decepticon?

Virtue- my mom.

Element- your mother was a Decepticon?!

Virtue-*nods solemnly* she didn't have a choice. During the old war, my mom was close to having me when Megatron had me removed from her. She was then told if she didn't obey, I would have been turned into one of Shockwaves experiments alongside my father.

Element- bribery. How did she die?

Virtue- when she rebelled, she had rescued my father and went after me. She sacrificed herself to protect me when a horde of Insecticons attacked. Maybe if I wasn't born, then she wouldn't have.... wouldn't have....*tears started to stream down her face*

Element - hey don't say that *sits on her bed to try and comfort her* I don't think your mother would want you talking like that, and your father

*her minicons jumped off the bed and back into her breastplate*

Virtue - yeah maybe your right, thanks for being understanding element

Element - no problem *wipes her tears off her face*

*there is a long pause of them looking at each other and they lean in close to each other, ready until there was a knock on the door snapping them out if it and moving back away from each other blushing slightly*

Virtue- I should answer the d door

Element- y yeah 

*they both stand up and virtue walks to answer the door it was bumblebee, with cliff jumper, nutshell and sideswipe and jazz, Hymn and two of the three rookies who attacked her, Hymn hugged her tightly as they all walked in*

Virtue- captain? Senior officers? What are you doing here?

Bumblebee- nutshell has explained the whole thing to us 

Hymn- hey what's element doing in here with you, alone?

*virtue and element fall silent, both looking away embarrassed*
___________________
 
*upon the surface of the moon, Bumblebee inspected each and every rookie in front of him*

Bumblebee- on planets such as these we are needed to be prepared for anything. That is why we created five man squads with five distinct categories: communications, scouts, defenders, medics, and soldiers. You all shall be divided into five bot teams based upon your skill level.

*he then began making teams then sent them to certain parts of the moon to scout*

Bumblebee- team 4 venture solider, virtue communications, nutshell defender, hymn scout, element medic, this is your team and your positions *sets up the rest of the teams*

Venture- *fist pumps* sweet team leader

Element- cool  the team medic

Hymn- I'm the scout is it cause I'm the shortest?

Virtue- and cutest

Hymn- your the cutest and I think some one else thinks so to *giggles as virtue smacked her upside the head* maybe cause I'm the fastest

Bumblebee- alright. Will all groups head to a Teletraan Terminal to equip their specific upgrades 

*Later, Virtue walked out with a special arm mounted communicator, a satellite dish on her shoulder, and a visor. Venture came out with a standard soldier load out: neutron assault rifle, detpacks, and armor. Nutshell lumbered out with a X18 Scrapmaker and a shield. Hymn came out admiring her shiny paint job, subsonic repeater, and scouting equipment. Element was looking at his energy healer, portable health kit, and medical markings*

Cliffjumper- alright, now the task is simple. On this moon, there are the same amount of beacons as each of the teams here. Your jobs will be to scout and record everything that you might encounter upon arriving at the beacon and reactivate them.

Rookies- YES SIR!

Bumblebee- then REV UP AND ROLL OUT!
___________

*in a corner of space close to the moon, a Dark ship was floating in orbit. Upon its side was a intimidating insignia. Inside, a slender mech was pacing the floor of a monitor room with a look of disgust*

???- ugh! Why must my skills be wasted away here instead of initiating the attack on Cybertron and Earth?! Our leader is a fool following the delusional vision of her father!

*then he turned to see a large mech with one red eye. It was an older version of Lugnut. As he spoke a feminine figure walked in with three red eyes*

Lugnut- TRAITOR! SHE IS OUR COMMANDER!! SHE IS OUR RULER!!! The glorious Mistress will return the Decepticons to the galaxy, And-

???2- *three orb optics flash as she talked*and wipe the cursed Autobot plague off the face of the universe, blah blah blah. Did you memorize her speech, Nutsy? Or can't you get anything out of that thick one track processor of yours *her arm gets frozen as an older battle scarred Blitzwing walks out, his blaster letting off cold air*

Blitzwing-*german accent* as usual •Doublesight, your personality is as crude and unwanted as that ugly face of yours

Doublesight- Cram it down your vent, you three faced wing nut*breaks the ice easily*

Blitzwing-*his blue face spun until a red one was seen* the name is BLITZWING FOOLISH SIMPLETON, remember it! Cause it's the last thing you'll hear before I *face changes to a purple one that had a jack o lantern like face* Sing out my troubles in song

*blitzwing began to sing as the three others arguing unaware of a bleeping noise coming from the computer. Just then a door opened and two different mechs walked out, causing the four to turn and look*

Blitzwing- I It's them!

Doublesight- Our First lieutenant and Grand General 

Lugnut- chosen by our glorious mistress herself

???- •Viceslide, and •Armormine*grits teeth*that means she's coming

*the two part to reveal a large intimidating yet feminine figure with large shoulder pieces that were connected to a large cloak. As she walked, a familiar fusion Cannon can be seen, heavily scarred upon her left arm. Her red optics glared, The four bots returned to their deck standing at attention except for Lugnut and Doublesight, who got down on all fours to worship their mistress. She walked to the center of the room, her heels clanging against the floor as she turned to the computer*

???-...

Blitzwing- m mu Mistress •Astrea wha-

Astrea-*looks at the blinking computer*•Magmascream, report.


Magmascream-*types upon the computer bringing up a moon* Autobot signals detected upon secret refinery moon 1S, my liege. Shall we take out the ship then decimate them?

Astrea- kill the ones closest to the refinery, then destroy the refinery to make it look like an accident that killed the Autobots. They must not know of our existence... yet

Magmascream- yes yes! Brilliant strategy, oh wise and great leader.

Doublesight-*under her breath*heh, hypocrite.
_______________________

*a column of smoke plumes out as Team 4 traveled across the Lunar terrain. Hymn was looking and counting the stars, while Element was taking samples of the moon rock. Nutshell and Venture were sharing stories while Virtue was looking at a pad which showed a beacon*

Virtue- hm?*noticed some interference on the pad and tapped it. She then noticed that the beacon seemed to be moving. She stopped* hmmm 

Nutshell- virtue ok? *they all look at her*

Virtue- yeah it's just this beacon it's moving, I didn't think there would be a beacon here already

Hymn- we should check it out

Element and Venture- agreed

*Team 4 began heading towards the beacon. Not long after a large explosion was seen not far from them, making them recoil then run towards a plume of smoke that rose up from where the explosion was seen. When they arrived, they came across a horrific sight. They saw two of their fellow rookie teams on the ground in a charred crater with scrap lying about. Virtue and her friends ran to each of the bodies*

Hymn- w w what happened here?! This are teams two and ten, Broadbolts team 

Element-*places two fingers on one of their necks*... gone. They're all offline.

Nutshell- Meteor?

Virtue- not likely *picks up a shard of metal* too much scrap... something was here... something occurred here*moves to one corpse, moving it over to reveal blast marks imbedded into their backs* they seem to have been killed one by one, Execution style. *turns to the crater*And this seems to be remains of a large facility judging by the radius of the crater and amount of scrap metal.


Venture- and how would you have known that?!

Virtue- having an ex soldier construction worker for a dad has its perks.

Hymn- well what should we do?

Element- we should go back and inform captain bumblebee and the senior officers 

Venture- agreed, let's go

Nutshell- OK

*they all head back to the ship in a hurry. Suddenly Virtue stopped and looked to her left*

Element- Virtue? *the others turned to her*

Virtue: this way! 
*the team followed her over a hill and they came across something no one expected. It was a transport ship taking Broadbolt and the other surviving scouts. Across its side was the same intimidating insignia as the Vehicons that patrolled the area as Magmascream was watching them load up Broadbolt and the others*

Magmascream- hurry up! We need to leave before any more Autobots discover us.

Venture- looks like we found out who decimated our fellow rookies. Good audio receptors, Virtue.*tries contacting the Avalon only to be met with static* Scrap! Hymn, we need you to get back to the Avalon.

Hymn- wait what?! No way, I can fight! I can blast em, break em, smash them, deci-

Virtue- Hymn!*places a hand upon her shoulder* he chose you because your the fastest one here that can get reinforcements.

Hymn- uh I guess you got a point Vivi. Good luck*transforms and drives at a nitrous speed*

Venture- okay, now let's go over our plan of attack...

*the team conversed the plan, unaware of three minicons guiding the Vehicons to surround them, ready to ambush*

Venture-... got that*they all nod* let's go.

*what happened next was utter chaos. A net made of pure energy was cast around the Autobots. They struggled against the net when the three Minicons sent electricity through the net, shocking the team until they all were unconscious*

Magmascream-*walks out of the shadows, his three Minicons transformed and reattached to his body* take them as well...

*as the team was taken away, Hymn was hiding behind a boulder, witnessing all that occurred*

Hymn- this is so not good, not good, not good, not good at all
__________________

*in a dark cell aboard the warship, Virtue was bound to the ground by electric shackles alongside her team and Broadbolt. They were trying to break their bonds to no avail*

Virtue- ugh...wha?

Broadbolt- hmpf, look who's awake

Venture- save it, Broadbolt, we need to escape

Nutshell-*pulled against his shackles but failed* bonds stronger than Nutshell.

???- welcome to the void of space, Autobots. Your final resting place 

*the Autobots turned to their captor, Revealing it to be Astrea. She looked down at them. Virtue was staring with horror upon her face*

Virtue-no...
