Just like Starscream, you can't keep it down
It's great I loved this fic when I saw it, I never saw the episodes with Nemesis Prime so this was my introduction into that whole disaster. I really liked the idea of a persons soul affecting there body, shown with how her body started growing more feminine with the new shifts. It was a really nice change from the many fics that essentially give the protagonists body dysphoria because their bodies where so different from what they were used to.Just like Starscream, you can't keep it down
And a wild Starscream substitute has appeared. His name will be stabby because he will 'defidently' not stab you in the back. That or it's Steve.
Good to see you back in making fics again. Good job like always and makes you wounder what is so important that they would keep knights at said base so far away from cybertron's territory.

It's been stated that this fic is going off rails at this point. There are more people then the original. Two more relic locations have been added. The moon base and the one place in the ocean are also added. This is also to throw our SI off track because she realizes that events are not going like the show 100%. So it will be hard to get a big advantage with what she knows of the show but she can still get some. Think of the story haveing a dlc now.
Heck, I'm just waiting for MECH to pop out again to be an even bigger threat for everyone. I guess only time will tell of what will be possibly popping out of the wood work.

Chapter 14: Race to the Grail Part 2
-=-=-=-=-=-
Optimus Prime stared from atop the cliff face down and into the distance, seeing the smoking wreckage of numerous automatic defense turrets, along with the corpses of three Destroyer Frames, all of them bearing the banner of a force that rarely took to the field. A sigil he hadn't seen since his time back in the archives. The Knights of Iacon.
"Well, at least we know Megatron and his cronies passed through here." Jazz muttered loudly as he knelt on the edge of the cliff, flipping his visor down in order to get a better read of the area. "No more energon sign- wait, I got a reading."
This made Optimus turn to the smaller autobot four wheeler. "Decepticon?"
"No sir, it's coming from the damaged pillar. I think it's a damaged stasis pod, the other three are open and there are three corpses."
"Then let us head down there, we must see if we can obtain an ally and information on the importance of this site. Autobots, roll out!"
The leader of the autobots rallied as he jumped off the cliff, transforming into his truck mode. Followed up by Jazz, Ironhide, Bulkhead, Arcee, Wheeljack, and Chromia. It didn't take long for them to reach the site of the base, Ironhide and Wheeljack immediately gravitating towards one of the dead destroyers.
"I recognize the wounds on them, explosive damage, higher yield too. This is that con Dreadwing's work I bet." Wheeljack identified loudly, his servo running over the warped metal chassis of the dead cybertronian.
"A safe bet to make all things considered, but judging by all of the battle damage the destroyers accumulated, we can safely assume Megatron and all of his forces focus fired all of them down. With no losses judging from the lack of decepticon bodies."
Ironhide said this with a narrowed look on his faceplate, it wasn't great to see this in his opinion, as it meant Megatron likely brought his stronger soldiers with him. Turning to Optimus, he saw the red and blue autobot inspecting the damaged but closed stasis pod, the machine absolutely dwarfed the Prime.
"Optimus, I found the override switch, thankfully it wasn't damaged like the rest of the pod." Jazz waved over from behind the stasis pod.
"Throw the switch Jazz, hopefully the Knight within is still alive and is willing to give us answers."
Nodding at the autobot leader's words, Jazz pressed a few buttons before pulling the switch, twisting it and pushing it back into the console. The door of the stasis pod sparked around the seamlines before it ejected and fell over to the side with a faint but sharp hiss followed by a barely audible thud.
The stasis pod's interior was ejecting smoke due to the damage, and the destroyer inside stumbled out. One thing to note about the destroyer was their surprising frame, they were a femme. Rarely did femmes upgrade into destroyer chassis.
She fell to a knee and looked to be shaking her helm to clear the stasis bleed, it wouldn't have taken long for the stasis bleed to wear off quickly. But due to the stasis pod being damaged, the sickness took a bit longer to shake off than expected really.
The autobots noticed the same emblem of the Knights of Iacon engraved into the destroyer's shoulder, hopefully this meant that they were allies instead of enemies.
Tilting her helm up, the destroyer took a good look at Optimus Prime for a few brief moments before speaking. "Autobot. Red and Blue coloring? Would you happen to be Orion Pax?"
Shuttering his optics, Optimus regarded the destroyer with a bit of curiosity. "That is a designation I have not gone by in a long time, but yes. I am Orion Pax, but I go by Optimus Prime now."
Staring at the autobot leader, the destroyer femme slowly nodded her helm. "Understood, Optimus Prime, defacto leader of the Autobots, student of Alpha Trion. I would welcome you to Cavalorn, but as you can see, the situation is rather dire. My designation is Blasterbolt."
"Well met Blasterbolt, yes Megatron and his Decepticons are assaulting this base as we speak. Are you able enough to lead us into the facility?" After nodding his helm at the destroyer with a welcoming air to him, Optimus Prime asked his question.
"The stasis sickness will bleed off, and thank you for getting me out of there. Now let's go, we must move swiftly."
The femme destroyer said as she stood up and lumbered for the elevator, the autobots quickly following behind their newly acquired ally. It didn't take long for the doors to open and the elevator to rise up to their level, they wasted no time in stepping onto the platform, Blasterbolt touching the console activated the system and they began descending into the facility.
-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-
When the elevator stopped and the doors opened, Blasterbolt took off, transforming into a large armored tank as she did so down the incredibly large corridors. The autobots quickly transformed to follow behind the destroyer femme, but they took notice of the numerous destroyed turrets and bodies, yet the bodies did not look like any cybertronian they knew about.
"Hey Blasty, what is this place?" Wheeljack asked as he turned the mirrors of his alt mode to inspect all the damages they were driving past.
"I do not have the clearance to explain every thing but I do know a bit. This place is Cavalorn, an underground Knights of Iacon base created long ago by Alpha Trion himself. It serves a few purposes, one is that it serves as the home of an ancient relic. Sent here long ago by Alpha Trion. However its true purpose is that it was meant to be a station that monitors Unicron for any activity. We will have to reach the Core, it must be defended and it is there where you will find the answers you seek."
When Blasterbolt explained about the facility, the autobots couldn't help but be confused. None more so than Optimus, especially since Alpha Trion never told him about this facility. While he knew Alpha Trion was one of the Thirteen, he didn't expect his mentor to have created a secret base like this. But as a base that monitors Unicron's activity? If that was the case...
"Wait, this base monitors Unicron down below for activity? Where were you all when Optimus and the rest of the autobots were down there working with Megatron to prevent his awakening?" Arcee asked with an annoyed and displeased air around her.
"We were dealing with the protection of Atlanteon and could not assist Optimus Prime sadly. We had to send all of our Drone Levies to Atlanteon to prevent if from falling, Atlanteon is a key facility that prevents the dark spawn of Unicron from breaching past the celestial prison and invading the world of the natives."
"Sorry about this but can ya speak plainly? We are kind of on a timer here." Wheeljack called out as he drove around a pile of rubble, keeping up with the destroyer hover tank that simply plowed through everything.
"Very well. To shorten it, we were too bust protecting Atlanteon and preventing Unicron from unleashing a horde on the world. But if you want more answers, we must find the Core." Blasterbolt said as she stopped at an intersection with an entrance ahead of her that led to an apparent dead end. "Scrap. The Core Defenses have come online, we will have to take another route. Come on!"
Following Blasterbolt, the autobots turned to the left of the intersection. Chromia spoke up as they drove through the damaged halls filled with scrapped drones and turrets. "I don't see any other cybertronians, and this place looks like it is big enough one could get lost."
"That is because it is. Cavalorn is a large underground complex and the built in defense is that the structure is an ever shifting maze, especially to those hostile. Most of our fellow Knights are in stasis or in Captain Pods. There are so few of us that most of our staff reside in Captain Pods in order to command multiple Drone Levies, even then there wouldn't be that many Knights out of stasis, so Megatron and his forces will no doubt outnumber the active Knights. We must reach the Core so that we can revive the Knights from stasis."
As the destroyer femme finished her explanation, they came across an active group of silver colored drones the size of bumblebee that had a knightly aesthetic to their design. The five drones raised their blasters towards them. "Halt! Identify yourselves!"
Before the autobots could respond, Blasterbolt transformed back into her root mode and flashed her emblem at them. "Designation: Blasterbolt, Rank: Defender."
"... Identity Confirmed. Blasterbolt, what happened to the rest of the Defenders and turrets at the entrance?" The five drones lowered their blasters, one stepping forward to speak while the other four turned to survey the surroundings and eye the autobots behind the destroyer with wariness.
"I'm afraid they are all offline Maxim. Decepticons damaged my stasis pod and scrapped my fellow Defenders before breaching Cavalorn. How far have they penetrated into the complex?"
"They are persistent. The distance between them and the Core is rapidly shortening, the Core is doing all she can to force them to take different and longer routes with opposition but eventually they will reach her."
Optimus Prime took a few steps forward, locking optics with the 'V' shaped visor of the lead drone. "If you will have us, then we will gladly provide aid."
The drone tilted its head before turning to face Optimus Prime as if just seeing him for the first time. "Alpha Trion's student. I would say welcome but we have no time to waste. I'm uploading the shortest route into your sensors Blasterbolt, lead the autobots to the Core and retrieve her, the relic, and the information before the decepticons get their servos on any of them."
Nodding their helms, Blasterbolt, Optimus Prime, and the rest of the Autobots transformed into their alt modes before rushing down the hallway. While the drones transformed into their own alt modes and blazed down a different path.
It didn't take long for the autobot group to reach a large circular door, one large enough to let Blasterbolt in her root mode through with space to spare. "Thank the Allspark, we are here at the Core."
"I'm surprised it only took a short drive." Chromia commented as she and the rest of the autobots transformed back into their root modes, pulling out their blasters in case.
"It is because you are with me along with Maxim recognizing my identification that the complex largely left us alone. I guarantee you, had you not gotten me out of that stasis pod, you would be facing the same difficulties as Megatron and his ilk." Blasterbolt commented as she waved up the console to the side of the door, the console shifting and transforming to suit the detected destroyer user.
"Alright Optimus, what's the plan?" Arcee asked with a raise of her optic ridge, the autobot party turned to look at Optimus Prime for his guidance.
"I will converse with this Core, and hopefully convince them along with the rest of the Knights of Iacon to abandon this base. With Megatron discovering its location, then it will only be inevitable that he would either siege it down or outright destroy it." Optimus Prime said this with a grim tone to his voice.
"Then it is a good thing we have prepared for that unfortunate event." A distinctly female voice called out just as the doors opened. Revealing an utterly massive but dark chamber with various pods and computer units mounted on the walls and armored pillars stretching from the ground to the far ceiling. Sat in the middle was a large emitter projecting a cuboid hologram. The hologram shifted before turning into a 'liquid' sphere that vibrated as the disembodied voice spoke. "Greetings Orion Pax, Student of Alpha Trion."
Almost flabbergasted, the leader of the autobots took a few steps forward before narrowing his optics at the hologram in confusion. "Hello there and I now go by Optimus Prime, but you have me at a disadvantage. Am I to assume you are the 'Core' of this facility?"
"You presume correctly. We are the Erudition of Various Engrams, or E.V.E for short, and we are the Core of Cavalorn, The Eye of the Storm." The holographic spheroid shattered before forming into a faceplate of a femme before continuing. "Hmm... I detect you now possess the Matrix of Leadership and are now a Prime, Designation Update accepted. With your appearance, we will disclose the nature of this facility."
"Pardon, but would it be too much to awaken the Knights just in case so that we will be able to take care of Megatron and his cons?" Jazz piped up from around Blasterbolt, stepping to the side and looking at the hologram.
"Do not worry. We have already begun the process of reviving the remaining Knights from stasis. Regrettably, we will be bridging the Knights with their Captain Pods down into Atlanteon along with their drones."
"What is the purpose of this place?" Optimus Prime asked as he looked around the gargantuan chambers.
"Cavalorn, the Eye of the Storm is a Knights of Iacon facility founded by Alpha Trion along with Solus Prime and Vector Prime after Unicron's Defeat. The primary purpose of this facility is to monitor the Chaos Bringer for any activity alongside Atlanteon, in which Atlanteon is a complex structure made by Solus Prime as an incredibly powerful limiter that forcefully keeps Unicron in a stasis-like state. However it is not infallible, as you no doubt experienced."
At that the autobots looked between each other a little bit uneasy, Optimus stared at the hologram with a thoughtful look on his faceplate. "Is it still functional?"
"Mostly, the Planetary Alignment interfered with the machine while also rousing Unicron from his slumber, but thanks to your assistance, the Chaos Bringer slumbers once more and Atlanteon is still operational." The last Prime nodded at that, looking just a tad bit relieved. "The secondary purpose of this facility is to safeguard a relic created by Alpha Trion, as well as the locations of the Three Keys to Atlanteon Erus."
Optimus Prime couldn't help but shutter his optics slowly, processing what he just heard. "I'm sorry, what?"
His confusion was shared by the rest of the autobots, barring their local ally Blasterbolt. "Alpha Trion created a relic? Also what the frag is Atlanteon Erus?" Arcee muttered a bit too loudly as she was incredibly confused.
"Indeed, Alpha Trion created a relic and with your appearance Optimus Prime, the ownership of the relic now falls to you. As for Atlanteon Erus, it is a relatively new facility of Atlanteon. It is a research complex for studying Unicron's Dark Spawn, as well as doubling as a prison, one that houses a Decepticon that Alpha Trion personally sent there after you defeated him."
It dawned on Optimus just who exactly it could be that is imprisoned down there. Especially since Jazz spoke of what Elita-One uncovered. But that didn't seem possible, he had ensured his destruction back on Cybertron. His faceplate turned serious as he said one name. "Warhound."
"Affirmative. Subject Warhound is one of the largest non-combiners that could fight a combiner and have a reliable chance of winning. Alpha Trion sent him to Atlanteon Erus for us to study in order to attempt to replicate the powerful experimental weapons and armors he developed and integrated into his frame. The Subject's armaments would be useful in keeping the Dark Spawn away from the breach."
"That kind of makes sense Optimus, Warhound was one dangerous mech. There was a reason why Megatron decided to nickname him 'The Apocalypse' aside from propaganda and fearmongering." Ironhide commented as he stepped forwards to place a servo on his old friend's shoulder.
"It was a name that was very well deserved!" A loud and familiar snarl interrupted the group.
Optics snapped over to the opposite side of the chamber, the hologram temporarily dissipating to give the knight and autobots a better look. Megatron stomped into the room with a wide sharp denta filled grin as he stared down at his mortal enemy, and in his servo was a dead Knight.
"Shiftgear!" Blasterbolt called out in horror as she saw the bisected remains of her fellow knight.
"To think, that Warhound still lived. You have my thanks, E.V.E, now if you would please... give me the location of those Keys!" The silver gladiator growled out as he threw aside the dead knight, following behind him were nearly all of the Decepticons highest ranking officers.
Megatron, followed by Dreadwing, Soundwave, Knockout, Blitzwing, Slipstream, Blackout, Barricade, Hijack, Hardshell, as well as the two vehicons Surge and Lumber. These two vehicons triggered something in Arcee's memory banks, and she took a deep intake. Those were the two vehicons that nearly scrapped her and Bumblebee had Bulkhead not arrived.
"I'm afraid the only way you will get that information is if you rip it from my expired drives." E.V.E monotonously said as the hologram emitter deactivated before the central computer began shifting up armor plates to protect it.
"Very well. I will just have Soundwave and Blackout rip it out of you. DECEPTICONS! DESTROY THE AUTOBOTS!!!"
"Autobots! Protect the Core!" As both Megatron and Optimus gave their orders, multiple pods slid into the ground, however two stasis pods remained before opening with a hiss. The Knights have awakened from stasis to defend the Core.
Alongside the stasis pods, a panel in the ceiling opened up before a container was launched at the autobots. "This relic is for you Optimus Prime, now if you would please. Drive these invaders from this facility."
When the container opened, it is revealed that the container was in fact a collapsible shield accompanied with a short staff with a blade on either end. Optimus recognized this to be similar to Alpha Trion's personal weapons, one that he briefly learned to humor his mentor when he asked if he knew how to fight. He never thought he'd get to use that style again, but it would seem it would help him now.
Picking up the shield with his left servo and the dual sided blade in his right. Optimus raised the weapon and pointed at Megatron, making the silver gladiator smirk as he unsheathed his own blade.
Both sides charged at each other blasters charging as the chambers of the Core quickly became their battleground.

Well Blasterbolt is like twice to three times the size of a regular cybertronian chassis. War for Cybertron Destroyers are rather large.
I would kill to hear and see a Megatron voiced by Christopher fucking Lee. Imagine a Megatron with the voice and attitude of Count Dooku.
So basically Blasterbolt will be pointing down while SI Nemesis Prime pointing up at each other.
Dooku!Megatron: "And once the colonies of Cybertron pledge their support to our cause, we shall have an army greater than anything in the universe!... The Autobots will be overwhelmed and the spineless corrupt Council will agree to any demands we make."

Errant blaster shots flew through the air of the chambers as Autobots, Knights, and Decepticons did battle with each other.
Despite the Knight reinforcements, the Autobots were still outnumbered by the Decepticons although not by much. Especially since Megatron was having Soundwave and Blackout work together to crack through the digital defenses of E.V.E.
Combatants quickly fell into a rhythm and seemed to split off into smaller groups, one such small group being Hardshell and Dreadwing fighting Bulkhead and Wheeljack respectively.
Bulkhead yelled out as he slammed his transformed wrecking ball into Hardshell's faceplate, sending the insecticon back with a screech. As the green wrecker followed up on his assault however, the insecticon recovered and spun into an uppercut that sent Bulkhead flying into the wall.
Wheeljack on the other hand was dancing with Dreadwing as his partner, blades flashing as the two skilled warriors swung, parried, and blocked each other's sword strikes. Despite only having one blade, Dreadwing was holding his own against Wheeljack's two blades. The two locked blades, sliding them against each other until they were faceplate to faceplate.
"Dreaaaadwing! I didn't get the chance to pay ya back for blasting Seaspray and for nearly offlining Bulk." The experienced wrecker growled from behind his battle mask. Only to retreat as the decepticon broke their deadlock, flourishing his blade before attempting to strike at the autobot's side, Wheeljack caught it expertly with both his blades.
"I welcome you to try autobot. Things will not end like last time." Was all Dreadwing said as the two resumed their bout, clashing blades quickly as they moved around each other while blocking, parrying, and redirecting each other's sword strikes in a dance.
Meanwhile, Bulkhead yelled out as he tackled Hardshell into the walls of the chamber, easily using one of his wrecking balls to bash the insecticon's torso. Despite the hit, the insecticon hissed and slashed at Bulkhead's optics with his smaller blade-like arms, the action making the green wrecker take a step back to dodge the attack. Only to see a large fist slamming into his faceplate instead, sending him sliding back.
Shaking his helm, Bulkhead growled before smirking. An act that surprised Hardshell, only for the insecticon to yell in pain as blaster fire peppered his side. A white and yellow blur dashed past, firing shaped energon blasts in rapid fire.
Sliding to a stop beside the wrecker, the blur was revealed to be a white and yellow femme, whose arms were currently wielding her shoulder mounted subsonic repeaters. She winked up at Bulkhead. "Cheers love, name's Lightray. Want to squish the big mean bug together?"
Before Bulkhead could even answer, a fighter jet crashed into the knight femme. "Sorry darling, but let the big mechs play by themselves. I'm more than happy to be your dance partner here." Slipstream maliciously laughed as she transformed with Lightray on her wing, quickly transitioning into a grab that was then countered by the knight.
"Sorry con, but I like mechs more!" With that quip, the two femmes flew around the room. Mostly Slipstream as Lightray hung onto her back while fighting the seeker in fast servo to servo combat.
They passed over Blitzwing as he took cover behind a pillar, his arm poked around in order to fire his blaster at Chromia and forcing her to take cover behind her shield. The triple changer took cover in turn as he was suppressed by Ironhide's multitude of weapons.
Blitzwing twitched before his faceplate started to sport a wide grin, cackling as he leaped out of cover. Switching his blaster out for an X18 scrapmaker, Blitzwing charged out while firing a veritable hail of energon-formed bullets at the two autobots.
Chromia in turn stopped firing her scatter blaster in order to take cover behind her shield once again while Ironhide took cover, reaching for one of his grenades when he saw Barricade slide around his cover with his own dual subsonic repeaters. Ironhide had no choice but to rush Barricade as his red armor started getting peppered by the decepticon cop.
On the other side of the chamber, Arcee threw herself against the familiar vehicon with her arm blades folded out, attempting to carve into him. Lumber had shifted his servos into blades in turn as he matched the fast two wheeler. Arcee couldn't help but feel a little concerned, as the vehicon was stronger and faster than the last time she fought him.
"Helms up 'Cee!"
Jazz performed a dataslab flying kick to knock the other vehicon Surge away from her aft, Arcee briefly snapped her optics at his direction before returning to her bout with Lumber. "Thanks." Was all she said as she suddenly ducked under a fast swing.
"Sorry bud, you're not getting past me." The white and blue autobot said with a lopsided almost lazy grin on his faceplate. He watched as Surge straightened his posture, rolling his neck strut with a groan and grind of metal.
Narrowing his optics, Jazz leaned to his left dodging as the vehicon folded out his energon battle pistols and fired at him. Transforming into his alt mode, Jazz drove straight for the vehicon and dodged a good majority of his opponent's shots, returning to his root mode in a slide to get into Surge's guard. Pushing away one of his blasters as he did so, readying a servo to throw a fist into Surge's faceplate. Only to also be countered, his fist sent off to the side, the two began trading counters and close dodges.
Two echoing explosions blasted far away from the other combatants, as the guardian destroyer Blasterbolt aimed at Blackout with her fusion cannons, only to lurch forward as she felt a weight make itself known on her back.
Her battle with Blackout was inconvenient as she had to fight both the decepticon and his pet Scorponok, it didn't help that Blackout was not above using his Wave cannon on her due to her size, which was the only thing that got past her armor.
With a speed that belied her size, she reached backwards and grappled the annoyance with her servo, digits closing around the tail as she swung Scorponok like a club against her master. Blackout transformed and took to the air in order to dodge his flying companion, circling Blasterbolt while raining wave cannon blasts onto the destroyer, much to her annoyance as evidenced by her retaliating with her dual fusion cannons.
Knockout and Hijack were both working together to keep the last knight occupied as they were heading straight for Soundwave, who had forcefully made a connection into E.V.E's console.
"Stand aside, and you will not be harmed." A melodious voice toned out, the knight narrowed their optics as they closed their servos into fists. Staring down at the decepticon medics.
"Sorry girl, but you're not getting to Soundy!" Hijack piped up with a smile, one servo shifting into a saw and another into an EMP shotgun. Knockout had a little more of a lopsided grin as he twirled his electro shock staff, getting ready for a scrap that might scratch his beloved paintjob.
"A pity then... also, I am Starstrut and I am a mech." The newly named Starstrut said as he shifted his servos into what looked like long energon blades, dashing forwards in order force his way through.
Finally, up on the gates were the two leaders of Autobots and Decepticons, engaged in fierce combat as Megatron parried Optimus' dual bladed attack only to twirl in order to side step the shield bash that would have knocked him on his aft.
"I'm impressed Optimus, you would have made a fine gladiator of Kaon with your skills with this gear." Oddly enough Megatron was honestly complimenting Optimus. Then again, the gear that Optimus was using reminded him heavily of his time back in the gladiator pits.
"I would rather spend an eternity in the archives." The last Prime said as he used his shield to intercept Megatron's close range fusion blasts, Optimus threw his blade into the air while shifting his free servo into a path blaster. Taking aim, the autobot leader fired his own blasts at Megatron, who had to step back and to the side in order to dodge the incoming plasma bolt.
Megatron charged at Optimus with a savage glee in his optics and his blade ejecting from its sheathe underneath his cannon, it has been long since he had seen Optimus wield an external weapon. The last time he had seen Optimus wield one is with that energon battle axe and a sword he used to stab the gladiator of Kaon repeatedly in the abdomen.
Catching the double bladed sword, Optimus dashed forwards with his sword and shield at the ready. Megatron was a tad larger than the Prime, but that did not mean he was slow, as evidenced by how fast the decepticon warlord parried Optimus' sword and reached out to grapple the servo holding said sword in order to pull back and throw the autobot leader over him.
That did not mean Optimus was no slouch either. With experience borne from millennia of battling and his familiarity with the relic, Optimus seamlessly transitioned his sudden flight into a dive that allowed him to land a servo stand on his shield before flipping himself back onto his feet, and just in time to block Megatron's punch.
The warlord had a clearly appreciative look on his faceplate as the two clashed blades once again. "Not bad Prime, but fancy tricks won't save you from me."

While the Autobots and Knights were facing off against the Decepticons, one of their own was currently not participating in servo to servo combat. Mainly because they were currently fighting on a different kind of battlefield.
Soundwave was connected with the facility's main hub net, and ordinarily they would have an easy time extracting any information they wanted being connected. But... it was guarded by E.V.E and they had to simultaneously fight her while searching for the information.
Their battle, wasn't exactly a normal one. Soundwave's avatar was more or less identical with their current form, except the avatar was completely purple in its entirety. One would say that they were hacking, and one would be correct, however with them being dragged into the hub net through their connection, the hacking was almost as dangerous as actual combat.
One wrong move, and E.V.E would upload a virus into their processor.
[:]Command Line: Activate Firewall[:]
The text appeared in front of Soundwave, as a digital green and blue wall of digital fire exploded into existence in front of the decepticon communications chief, intercepting a barrage of flying 'swords' of junk code.
Soundwave took a few steps back as they stared up at the avatar of the facility's core. E.V.E's appearance was a simple cube, with an androgynous almost human face on each of the sides.
The decepticon noticed however that within the cube was an orb, and they could clearly see the wealth of information locked within said orb. If they wanted the information however, they would have to break through that avatar.
A simple job. In theory. The visor of Soundwave's avatar flashed as they began rapidly inputting commands in order to stack the odds in their favor.
[:]Establishing Two-Way Connection[:]
[:]Error: Connection Denied - Piercing Net[:]
[:]Two-Way Connection Established[:]
[:]Command Line: Activate Firewall Defenses[:]
[:]Command Line: Activate n3t !nV@s!0n[:]
[:]Command Line: Import r00tK!t[:]
[:]Command Line: Create jUnKd@t@ Turrets[:]
[:]Command Line: Create M@7wAr3 Constructs[:]
[:]Command Line: Create r@T Constructs[:]
[:]Command Line: Create w0rM Constructs[:]
These texts glitched into existence all around Soundwave, a digital firewall surrounded the decepticon before it shattered and formed a blue layer over his avatar. The numerous commands being executed by Soundwave set up the stage as numerous 'portals' opened up in the net space.
Various constructs ranging from 'regular' cybertronians and turrets, all the way to monstrous creatures exited the portals as they began to charge and shoot at E.V.E's avatar.
A firewall of her own swirled into existence around her as it blocked all attempts to invade the facility's memory core and extract any information. Almost instantly, the firewall sent out beams of fire that immediately destroyed and deleted some of Soundwave's constructs.
Soundwave's avatar didn't move as they simply executed more commands that activated more of their electronic warfare suites.
Idly the decepticon lamented at the lack of Blackout's assistance. Blackout was more suited to invading systems as well as disrupting them, and while Soundwave was not a novice in invading systems, they were more skilled in creating backdoors and listening into communications.
Besides, Soundwave didn't need to break the Core's avatar, they only needed to break in once. Soundwave executed another command that gave their avatar a 'cannon' before joining their constructs in shooting at E.V.E's avatar. All the while dodging retaliatory swords and beams of fire, making sure to constantly execute more commands to create more constructs to assault the core.
As formidable as E.V.E's countermeasures were, luck wasn't on her side, as numerous Junkdata 'bullets' slowed her Firewall to the point that it started showing small holes. Something Soundwave was quick to take advantage of as they shot their 'cannon' and a RAT impacted the orb, giving Soundwave access to the information.
Immediately, Soundwave began having their constructs defend them from retaliation as they started rapidly cycling through all the information as fast as they could feasibly do. All the while E.V.E was destroying their RAT while attempting to eject them from the hub net.
Soundwave found the information their leader wanted, the Three Keys of Atlanteon Erus and their locations. As well as downloading as much information on said Atlanteon, Atlanteon Erus, and its defenses.
Unfortunately, while Soundwave was able to extract a lot of information, their RAT was destroyed and was immediately locked out of the memory core. But the primary objective has been completed, it was time to leave.
Creating one last wave of constructs, Soundwave gave the order to distract the Core for as long as possible before they severed all connection from the main hub net and returned to real space. Slightly shaking their helm, they turned to the rest of the chaotic chamber. Sending a message to all the decepticons within the room.

[:]Recommended Action: Withdraw[:]

Megatron grinned, his sharp denta showing as he threw his deadlock with Optimus up high before kicking the autobot leader away from him.
"Decepticons! Fall back!" Megatron fire his fusion cannon around the room before transforming into his alt mode and flying through the gate the Autobots came from, easily followed by the rest of the decepticons in their alt modes after they disengaged from their respective opponents.
The autobots and knights fired upon the fleeing decepticons with impunity, unfortunately none dealt enough damage to send even one of them back into root mode.
"After them!" Blasterbolt ordered with anger clear on her faceplate, however she was stopped by Optimus Prime himself.
"No. We have to evacuate everyone in this base, Megatron will turn it all into rubble. We must save as many of the other Knights as we can." Optimus Prime said with a grave tone to his voice.
"Optimus Prime is correct. The decepticon invaded the memory core and extracted numerous pieces of information, the core is compromised. All personnel are to be evacuated and the Core is to be extracted and brought to Atlanteon. All Captain Pods were bridged, active personnel and the Core are left." E.V.E's monotonous voice toned out, silencing any potential arguments.
Blasterbolt gritted her denta before slumping a little and nodding. "Understood. Activate the bridge."
A spacebridge portal opened in front of the destroyer Knight, and she turned to Starstrut and nodded towards the main hub. Starstrut nodded in turn and ran directly for the main hub, sliding to the console and rapidly began typing.
"Hey E.V.E, we have a ship on this moon. While everyone is evacuating, could you please bridge us back there? You know, save us the trouble of walking there?" Wheeljack made a comment, and while it sounded a little disrespectful to the Knights, surprisingly E.V.E agreed to it.
"Request granted. Please input the location." Surprised, but rather happy the wrecker ran to the console next to Starstrut, the knight was holding a cube the size of his torso and slowly making his way to the open portal. Lightray skated past the autobots and slid in front of the portal, turning back and giving off a wave.
"Hope to see ya'll down on the ground!" Lightray made that comment before skating into the portal.
Blasterbolt picked up the E.V.E Core from Starstrut and turned to the rest of the autobots, particularly at their leader. "Until we meet again Optimus Prime."
The last two knights entered the portal and it closed before another one opened into existence right after. Wheeljack called out as he began running towards it. "Our ride's on the other side, let's ditch this joint!"
As soon as he said that, the entire chamber shook and an explosion was faintly heard in the background. Optimus turned to the rest of the autobots. "Autobots! Fall back!"
Without anymore prompting, the rest of the autobots ran through the bridge and came out a few short meters away from the Jackmaul. They wasted no time in boarding the ship, Wheeljack quickly bringing it to life and getting them off the moon. The Nemesis warship was clearly seen bombarding the facility with its numerous weapons as they left the moon to return to earth.
Arcee looked at the damage and narrowed her optics at the decepticon warship, she turned from the scene only to see the comms light blinking. "We got a call."
Seeing what Arcee meant, Optimus walked on over to the communications and noticed it was coming from their base. Pressing a key, the Jackmaul established connection with their base. "Ratchet, is that you?"
"Yes. What is your status?"
"We are fine old friend, however we are now returning back to base, we have important information to share." Optimus told Ratchet through the comms, only to hear his old friend let out a short vent.
"Well, I can clearly hear you're a little down. But I have good news at least." Ratchet almost sounded a little excited, a bit too excited. Looking around, the Prime could see some of the other autobots looked a little off put at how happy their doctor was.
"What do you mean Ratche-"
"Hey Optimus! Is 'Cee up there with you? She better have not kicked the bucket before I did." A bombastic but tired sounding voice called out from the comms, and Arcee immediately sat up straight, her optics were wide and mouth wide open in shock.
Before Optimus could even answer back, a female voice called out from the comms afterwards, and Optimus' words died in his vocal synthesizer. He knew that voice, he knew that voice very, very, very well.
"Well... it looks like we missed quite a bit, huh Optimus?"
Silence spread throughout the Jackmaul, no one said anything out of respect for Optimus as he quietly whispered into the comms unit. Almost disbelievingly.
"Elita?"

I am stabbing canon profusely in the ribs, I will remake canon as I see fit. I apologize and do not apologize at the same time.
Bulkhead: "I. CAST. FIST!"
In Transformers Prime show, Wheeljack never brought up Seaspray again after one episode "Loose Cannons" where the reason he came back to Earth is because he is after Dreadwing who killed Seaspray.
Glad that Wheeljack never forgot about Seaspray when clashing with Dreadwing.
I hear this in the voice of Tracer from Overwatch.
Megatron: "Not bad for a librarian! Perhaps you should spend more time at the pit!"
Optimus Prime: "Then perhaps you should spend more time at the library!"
Agent Fowler is gonna have a migraine when Optimus tells him about the newcomers especially when the Knights have Destroyer tank alt-modes that literally stand them out.
Damn, Megatron is vindictive and that he knows his nemesis ain't gonna die from that barrage. He knows Optimus all too well and have survived worse.
Aaah the return of The Rock... WITH A VENGEANCE!
Glad that Cliffjumper is back and Elita-1 as well.

It's one or the other, you can't do both!

So... are yo sure you are still writing the same fanfic? Is been ages since we saw Nemesis and is just OC after OC in the last few chapters.
You could copy paste the last two chapters in any other Transformers Prime fanfic and it would make the same amount of sense aka none at all.

Let the LunchKing cook and we will see SI Nemesis Prime again. No need to rush things.
I, for one, am glad that Team Prime got more forces in form of the Knights on their side and Cliffjumper and Elita-1 have recovered.
And I hope we get to see MECH again where they learn of Nemesis Prime being active on its own and stealing Damocles satellite from their perspective and would want to look for the SI herself. And also get Silas into the body of Breakdown while ensuring he doesn't kill them by telling him about his personal weapon being stolen by a seemingly sentient MECH-made Cybertronian.

Before I start crafting Chapter 16 (Where we'll be back to your irregularly scheduled NemeSIs shenanigans.) I figure I should start posting media tabs of the various Autobots, Decepticons, and Knights of Iacon (Separating both Autobots and Knights of Iacon to go around the weird image limit.)
So first off, the new Autobots. (Posting Elita here too along with updated Chromia mainly cause I found this awesome artist ryzmechaa, and I don't need to put Cliffjumper since the Prime show already gave him an appearance.) Also posting Elita here since dunno when Muse will shove her and Cliffjumper into the story despite their awakening.

Ironhide got that buff tomboy truck wife
Ditched the other image because tbh it does not do Warpath justice
To put context, she didn't have the hologram hair before and only decided to do it after watching studying up on humans after her recovery from the coma.

NOTE: Surge and Lumber just look like regular sports car vehicons just with a slightly darker color scheme. So that's why they not here.
She looks like she wouldn't hurt a fly.(That is a lie, she'd dissect the fly slowly with a huge smile on her faceplate)

Destroyer Chassis with Extra Armor | AKA: This is when Optimus and Co. met Blasterbolt.
This is her, without the extra armor. Pay no attention to the tall 'horn' in the image, it does not exist for Blasterbolt
Yes that's a mech, not a femme.

Names will be updated next chapter, promise.
Top is of course the 'default' state, bottom by default is the 'scrapping' state
Due to some the rather doodoo image limit of 10 Images per message. Any additional pic will just get another message and so on and so forth.

Blasterbolt looks like a Gundam and I can see Miko call her one when laying eyes on the Destroyer-class Knight of Iacon.
