THE QUEST BEGINS
OPTIMUS PRIME: Mind telling us why you're here?
VECTOR PRIME: Very well. I received the signal broadcasted by Nova Prime's message to Alpha Trion.
OPTIMUS PRIME: What signal?
VECTOR PRIME: One that meant that the Matrix shards must be reunited... and quickly.
OPTIMUS PRIME: Why? How do you know all of this?
VECTOR PRIME: I cannot explain everything at once. Please, you must trust me.
OPTIMUS PRIME: You did say you were a Prime, didn't you?
VECTOR PRIME: Yes, I am part of a... similar dynasty to yours.
OPTIMUS PRIME: Very well. Tell us what we need to do.
(Later...)
VECTOR PRIME: As you may know, Nova Prime hid one of the shards on each planet of his expedition. In order to find each shard in time, we must send four different teams to each planet.
KUP: Wait a sec. But there's five planets! Shouldn't we send five teams?
BUMBLEBEE: Kup sure knows his math!
VECTOR PRIME: Considering we know very little about the fifth planet, I think its best we hold off on it for now.
OPTIMUS PRIME: Right then. I'll lead my old team to Earth, because we've been their longer than--
WHEELJACK: Sorry! No way am I going back to that lame planet with lame technology!
OPTIMUS PRIME: ...Whatever, I'll just find a fill in. Jazz, you will lead our fastest Autobots to Velocitron.
JAZZ: No problem, Prime!
OPTIMUS PRIME: Primal Major, due to your dealings with the beasts of Silvart, you will go to Animatron.
PRIMAL MAJOR: On it.
OPTIMUS PRIME: And Kup, you'll take the Wreckers to Gigantion.
KUP: Will do.
VECTOR PRIME: I shall accompany your team to Earth.
OPTIMUS PRIME: Fine by me. All right, Autobots... let's roll out!
(Kaon...)
SOUNDBLASTER: Hello, old friend...
SOUNDWAVE: Ah. Greetings, Soundblaster. I am glad you received my call.
SOUNDBLASTER: You should be glad I accepted it. What do you need of me?
SOUNDWAVE: As you may have heard from the message, Lord Megatron is dead.
SOUNDBLASTER: How tragic.
SOUNDWAVE: Indeed... which is why I called you here. I need you to bring back Megatron.
SOUNDBLASTER: And what makes you think I have those powers?
SOUNDWAVE: I am aware of your origins, brother. I know what you are capable of.
SOUNDBLASTER: Very well. Where is Megatron's body?
SOUNDWAVE: Locked away at the fortress in Kaon. Under heavy protection.
SOUNDBLASTER: I see. Well then, this is a perfect opportunity to test my new... acquaintance.
SOUNDWAVE: And who would that be?
SOUNDBLASTER: Allow me to introduce you to... Dreadwing!
(Iacon)
RED ALERT: Autobot ships, prepare for launch!
WARPATH: Raising the launching pads.
OPTIMUS PRIME: Ship Orion ready to launch.
KUP: Ship Trion ready.
PRIMAL MAJOR: Ship Axalon preparing for launch.
(Rattletrap sneaks onto the Axalon)
JAZZ: Ship Meister ready!
OPTIMUS PRIME: We're off!
BUMBLEBEE: Coordinates for Earth are set in!
OPTIMUS PRIME: Very good. Make the jump!
(They make the jump to lightspeed while Starscream watches from his quarters)
STARSCREAM: Well, well, well. It seems that Optimus Prime has left Cybertron again. Sweet.
(Elsewhere...)
OCTANE: I still think this is a waste of time. I don't see the point of guardin' some dead leader who failed us!
BLADESPIN: Don't say that, Octane! You know what they say about the dead--
OCTANE: Don't give me that "Necrobot" trash again, Bladespin. There's no such thing as ghosts or zombies! Those are all stupid myths!
DIRGE: Death comes to those who do not believe.
OCTANE: Oh, shut up, Dirge. You two can stay here if you want, but I'm not spending my time here, especially with you! (He storms out of the morgue) Stupid superstitious idiots! I outta--
BLADESPIN: SHEEEAGH!
OCTANE: Er, guys? I... what was that scream I-? Oh. (Dreadwing is standing there; Bladespin is dead and Dirge is knocked out)
DREADWING: You have two seconds to leave and forget that you saw or heard anything before I kill you.
(Octane drives off)
DREADWING: Smart. Now then... what to do with you?
(Meanwhile, aboard the Orion)
BUMBLEBEE: We're nearly there, Optimus!
OPTIMUS PRIME: Good to hear, Bumblebee. I hope nothing has happened there since we left.
SIDEWAYS: What makes you say that?
OPTIMUS PRIME: Earth is a strong ally of the Autobots, Sideways... who knows what or who has their eyes on it.
BUMBLEBEE: Well, we're coming into orbit. Nothing unusual so-- (SFX: THOOM!) AHH!
RATCHET: You just had to say it!
OPTIMUS PRIME: All turrets, fire!
VECTOR PRIME: Decepticons?
OPTIMUS PRIME: Most likely. They probably followed us from--
THUNDERTRON: A'vast there, ye' scurvy scalawags!
OPTIMUS PRIME: Oh crud...
(It's the Tidal Wave, starship of the Star Seekers)
THUNDERTRON: Ye' chart hazardous territory! Territory that belongs to us! Turn back now or be left for the Sharkticons!
OPTIMUS PRIME: May I kindly ask who the heck you are?
THUNDERTRON: We are the Star Seekers! And if that isn't enough for ye'... then maybe this will!
(The Tidal Wave fires on the Orion, destroying a wing and sending it crashing towards Earth)
THUNDERTRON: Ha! Ha! Ha! Now ye' know what we do to unwanted guests! Especially for those from Cybertron! Now prepare for ye' demise... and know that dead bots tell no tales!
