Chapter 104 - Chapter 23 part 1

After Soundwave grabbed the last of the nuclear bombs, Megatron had a calculating smirk on his face as he said out loud "Excellent, Soundwave! Now where is Shockwave?" As Soundwave replied with "Answer: Unsure. Shockwave was last seen going to the labs." Megatron smirk fell off his face and he now looked extremely displeased at what he heard, "Shockwave is in his labs? Go get him then!" Megatron commanded as Soundwave listened and followed to his orders. Exlixus was seen talking with Rumble as both of them noticed something in the sky as Exlixus pointed it out "Hey, whatever is exactly that thing?" Exlixus asked and Megatron turned around seeing a large black spot in the sky which looked to be destroying things around it and Megatron clenched his fist and said what is on everybody's minds "Starscream's doing, that seeker has been getting increasingly unpredictable for my liking." Megatron turned around to Exlixus and ordered him to go to the black spot closely as he could, "But do not touch that thing." Megatron said with a warning in his voice, knowing better not to touch Starscream's creations. Exlixus transformed into his jet mode and flew high as he could reach to the black spot. He transformed in the air as his wings is using an jet boost to keep him up in the air as he soon scanned the black circle and he was surprised as he said "All numbers on the readings are reaching to the negatives. That's really odd, even our creations don't reach to the absolute negatives." Exlixus after a few minutes of waiting up in the air, the numbers did not change and he decided to go back to Megatron.

Exlixus landed on the earth again and he saw that Shockwave was now with them. Shockwave noticed Exlixus and stated "I see you had finally come out." The Sky Robot said "Yeah, It's not usually I go out often anyways." Shockwave looked towards the phone station that is connected to the signal station. Shockwave walked there while Rumble came to Exlixus and questioned in a rather rude manner "You found anything useful, Seeker?" Exlixus looked at Rumble with a frustrated expression when he insulted him and responded "Rumble, don't insult me first of all and second of all. I found something you all might want to see." Everyone else came closer as Exlixus showed the readings on the device. Soundwave grabbed it and showed it to Shockwave first than Megatron. Megatron looked confused by the numbers, "What? What is this?" He asked and afterwards Shockwave answered logically "My conclusion to this is that the matter of the hole has no energon and has high amounts of negative energy." Soundwave looked over the numbers and shook his head. His cold voice was heard "Readings: Impossible. Must knows how this works." Shockwave explained to them that there are two things that reach near absolute zero levels of energon even though it's impossible to find anything, supernova energy and anti-matter. Supernova energy doesn't have much energon because when a star collapses, it particularly exerts most of the energon out of it. Anti-matter was of course obvious to explain why as they finally understood.

"Wait so your saying Starscream is using supernova energy!?" Rumble yelled out in shock as Shockwave nodded. Soundwave and Megatron gave each other a glance before agreeing that they needed to find what else Starscream has. "But for now, unleash the nukes!" Megatron turned to the station as Shockwave went to the device attached to the phone station and at once started to put intricate commands to 6 continents and to specific countries. Shockwave soon was finished after 15 long minutes and put up a thumbs up. Soundwave soon activated the commands with a few buttons and soon the nukes began to disconnect from the wires and flew upwards into the sky as they all went to different directions in the red sky. Megatron chuckled slightly as Exlixus asked "Why did we use the small nukes instead of the large ones that humans have? Y'know, we are suppose to kill humans correct?" Megatron explained "Yes, we are killing the humans that's our intentions. But the planet still has enough energon that Cybertron doesn't have. We are killing the Autobots and earth's species, not the planet." And everyone understood why Megatron had ordered Soundwave to get nukes that weren't as large as regular nukes.

Kirin was basically trying to find a way to deal with the electrical output that happened yesterday as he heard something loud outside of his own windows. He immediately exited his home as he saw nukes that up in the air. The colour faded from his face as he realized his friends were potentially in danger. "Lili? Harold? Alexa! Oh no, no, no. I can't risk losing my friends." And wasted no time as he ran to Harold and Alexa's house while breathing tightly as it took him 10 minutes to get to there. He went to their lawn, taking a moment to capture his breathing as he soon knocked several times on the door as Mrs Lilian came outside raising her eyebrow "Kirin, what are you do need?" Kirin calmed down his breathing as he hastily told them "I think you two need to see this." Mrs Lilian called down Harold who looked slightly annoyed "What? We are dealing with-" Kirin pointed up at the sky and Harold's annoyance immediately disappeared seeing that the sky completely changed colour, a nuke passed in the sky and a large black thing was seen in the sky along with digital text. Mrs Lilian had her face full of terror as she said to herself "I never thought that... I thought this was a dream." Harold said "I think... We need to start actually need to find Alexa quickly as possible." Kirin and Mrs Lilian agreed as the three of them ran into the car as quickly as possible. They got in as they closed the doors and Mrs Lilian began to drive through the road. Kirin turned to Harold asking "What do you think happened to Alexa?" Harold retorted with "I don't know but I hope she isn't DEAD."

"I hope so as well." Kirin sighed as he said that as he leaned back against his seat. Harold was shaking in anger and Mrs Lilian appeared to be listening to their conversation. As they passed through a dark street, a silhouette that had red vibrant optics, a large smile and a animal cloak that went down his back as Starscream landed downwards from a large streetlamp, his large height and weight somehow not breaking the object. "So that's that the girl's family huh? And those blasted nukes!" He said with his optics looking extremely annoyed. "I guess I will have to get moving, making sure it doesn't touch my things." He transformed as he began to move to where his vortex was. After 12 minutes, he landed near the vortex, still seeing it was fine but saw that a nuke was coming to him. He flew towards it as energon fell off his body and he grabbed it, since Soundwave modified the nukes to explode on the ground but to not explode by being touched by an hand/servo. Starscream analysed it curiously as he didn't realize that Shockwave had attached secret cameras to it. Back near the signal station, it showed on the technological machine that connected to the cameras that Starscream was holding one of the nukes that hasn't exploded. "What is he doing!?" Megatron asked enraged as Shockwave began attempting to self-destruct the nuke to no avail. Starscream was seen flying with the explosive device as he came to one of the medium-sized towns that was far off from the vortex and immediately let go off the bomb which fell downwards.

One of the kids in the town looked upwards seeing a bomb come downwards as she pulled on her mother's coat. "Mum? What is that?" She asked curiously as the mother looked upwards and her eyes widened in complete shock "Is that a... Nuke!?" Under a few seconds everyone immediately panicked on the road as they were trying to get out of town as quickly as possible. hundreds managed to get out but for the rest of the population? They did not survive. The sounds of pure human screaming all overlapping each other was heard as the burning, roaring flames engulfed the town, buildings turning into black pieces and blocks as they fell on the melting grass. Tires of cars melted like wax as they covered the roads and the last survivor had managed to get out in pure luck but had suffered the effects of radiation and burns. They coughed as one of their friends had managed to help them up. All of them looked seeing large portion of the town completely burnt. It was completely unexpected for everyone and the spot in the sky seemed to increase from the amount of destruction caused. One of the survivors ended up bleeding out slightly while the town of police and ambulance was heard nearby "Is everyone okay?" One of the police gave out a crucial question through a microphone as some began to speak over each other while others did not say anything. A woman was heard crying, a teen was looking in shock and a man was seen crouching with his hands on his own head and the police was asking everyone for what exactly happened. It was a very grim scene and now people were wondering where to exactly live now since their own homes were gone.

Alexa was currently sleeping and had an nightmare which completely woke her up as she had noticed she was in Bumblebee's car still. "What happened?" She wanted to know as she inquired feeling sweaty as she sat upwards as Bumblebee responded with a worried tone "You fell asleep and I was asked to watch over you since you didn't look well. Did you have a nightmare?" She nodded as she sat upwards as she noticed the rest of the Autobots had completely gone. "Where did they go?" She questioned as Bumblebee answered again "They are currently exploring a crash site. They should be coming back soon." Alexa looked up at the red sky through Bumblebee's window "I hope this doesn't get worse..." She said with doubt and a small amount of hope in her voice.
