Orion -- City Outskirts

Dinobot walked towards one of the walls on the outer edge of the city; he reached down and kicked out a part of the stone wall, revealing a small, rusted latter that descended down into the darkness of the sewers.

He transformed into his robot form and then turned to Sari. "My price? ... A disc. A golden disc that Megatron carries around with him. That's all I want."

Dinobot hopped down into the sewers, disappearing into the darkness.

Bumblebee and Sari followed into the darkness, the autobot with a slightly confused expression upon his face. "All you want is some disc? Well if your sure then whatever. We'll get you that thing if you keep leading!"

Meanwhile Sari tightened her grip around her best friend and stared down at the allspark key on her neck. As soon as they got in close enough to Megatron she was sure it would have some sort of reaction. She suposed the Dinobot couldn't trick them into believing the Deceptacon leader was there when he wasn't....Maybe she had been overeactin before....

Orion -- Sewers

Dinobot led them through the darkness of the sewers, a smirk on his face the entire time. In all reality, he hoped that Bumblebee and Sari could defeat Megatron today -- it would make things so much easier for Dinobot. Of course, he didn't care if Megatron killed them either. As long as he got that disc.

He remained silent as he led them through the darkened sewers. He paused for a moment and then turned his head. "He's close, but he's not alone."

...

Sari's key would react soon enough; Megatron was close by. His new body was made of much stronger materials, and was equipped with better firepower.

Around the corner was Megatron; as well as several mindless machines known as Doombots.

Orion -- Sewers

A few moments later the light glow from Sari's key could be seen....Megatron was indeed there....Really close in fact.....

Even Bumblebee was smart enough to know that he needed to think of a quick plan before trying to take down Megatron, after thinking for a moment he took Sari off of his shoulder.

"Here's the plan Sari, i'll bust out the celing of the sewers with my stingers, that way they are all caught off guard. Once the dust clears o you think you can take out as many of those bots as you can with your key?"

"Sure thing, piece of cake!"

" Cool, then after that get back over here and stay safe okay? By then Megatron will be just a pile of bolts!" He then turned to the Dinobot one last time. "That disc's as good as yours!" He then raised his hands and peered over to where Megatron stood. With all his power he supercharged the celing of the sewer, causing it to crumble!

"Well, it appears we are not alone, nooooo." Megatron hissed as the roof began to collapsed around him. Large fragments of the sewer above smashed down onto the backs of the Doombots, knocking them beneath the polluted sewer waters. Unfortunately, flashes of purplish lights cut through the debris and the Doombots jumped back up -- apparently unharmed.

"Bumblebee! I see you don't get up, nooo, no." Megatron charged forward, slashing with his tail-arm; the scissor-like hand on that arm was spinning, attempting to cut Bumblebee to shreds!

The Doombots started shooting. Dinobot didn't wait; he made his tail-shield spin and charged in, slashing at them with his bone-sword, cutting a few of them down as he ran!

Truthfully Bumblebee hoped that the attack would have caused more damage than it did but he didn't have time to linger on that dissapointment. Instead the Autobot found himself dodging an assualt on his life by a rather large weapon. Quickly the bot linked his hands together, combining his stingers and shooting them forward in a bright flash of lightning in effort to protect himself and attack while at the same time looking for the CD that the Dinobot had asked for.

Meanwhile Sari had started to do as she was told and attacked as many of the doombots as she could....Of course that was A LOT easier said than done for an eight year old girl who was dodging a vast array of bullets.....She found herself taking refuge behind a large piece of rubble, waiting for one of the bots to get close enough so that she could stick her key in it.

Orbit over Orion

The orbit over Orion was calm this day. Except for the two large ships belonging to either faction, everything was peaceful, calm and settled. There was no war, there was no battle...

But on the planet's surface, there was intrigue, war of words and various events that would shape the future of this planet and those around it. So it was no surprise that while both of the ships, the federal and the rebel, passed by each other in orbit, a new ship appeared on the other side of the planet, running on stealth and perfectly hidden against scanners. The only thing that would pick it up is a direct visual... But who is likely to be looking out their window in space?

This new ship was the very one that caused the Rebellion so much trouble back in Avalon orbit. IT was the very ship that dove into the center of the rebellion forces and came out alive, taking hundreds of ships with its passing attack. The home of the very machine that caused even MORE trouble at new Gettysburg, the black and red machine that moved too fast for human reflexes to keep up with, and for machines to process.

The NL Apocalypse, Desty Nova's battleship, has just entered orbit in stealth mode. Its engines were cut, the heat from the ship was being held within heat sinks on board so it would not appear as a heat signature, and a fluctuating field swam around the ship, disrupting scanners and nullifying signals. As the hyperspace gate closed behind it, a (comparatively) small, black object detached itself from the Apocalypse and trailed it within it's stealth field, often glimmering red.

Desty Nova was ready... And waiting.

My work shall advance humanity long past its time, throw it into the unknown future and force it to grow strong or FALL! Years from now, when I will inevitably be removed, my work shall continue to progress, because these things cannot be denied!

I can't see what you're imagining
-Orion: Conference Room-

"Because..." Lexrach began, slowly, "Throughout history, the human race has strove forward and progressed through the stars. What was it that did this? Goodwill, the sense of exploration? No...It was strife.

"The sad truth is that the biggest advances came to us in time of war and strife. We of the Rebellion wish to show a new way forward, to bring about a greater age, but we can not do this peacefully. This is a necessary war. We merely wish to bring about the next great age."

"Hmmm..." Old Man Sensei said, rubbing his chin, "Interesting, both of you."

He paused, as if considering his next course of action...

-Orion Orbital Station-

"Sir..." one young man said, looking towards his commanding officer, "We're getting reports of attacks in the main city...Robots, it seems."

"And?" the commanding officer said, raising an eyebrow.

"Well...Isn't that a bad thing?"

"And?"

"Shouldn't we...do something?"

"Do you know of any weapons we have that might be useful."

The younger man opened his mouth to speak, then closed it. After a few seconds, he spoke again, "Well...Both the Loyalist and Rebel Forces are in orbit...Maybe they can lend a hand?"

"No..." the commanding officer said, "Old Man gave us orders if something happened."

"And what's that?"

"Send out a neutral distress signal, locating it in the area, and see who shows up to help. Don't let them know it's from the higher up on Orion."

"Alright sir..."

-Orion: Conference Room-

A young man, also dressed in a gi, though this one was green, stepped quietly into the room and whispered to Old Man Sensei, who nodded, the young man leaving.

"Reports of our grain harvest," he explained, "Very important. Now, another question.

"Anyone may answer this, and you others with the Loyalists may answer as well," he said, "Is Light or Darkness better, and if so, why?"

-Orion-

A distress signal was sent out. Anyone tracing it would be lead towards the main Orion city, where a battle beneath it was starting to break loose.

In orbit, a giant red and yellow mecha was floating there, Tony Stark having accompanied the Loyalist to help look after things.

His mech detected the distress signal...

"Normandy, this is Iron Man. I'm detecting some sort of distress signal from Orion. I'm going to check it out..."

And thus, Tony Stark headed towards the planet.

Orion conference room

Didymus would have debated Lexrach's points, debate her points about competition and strife (bringing up his experiences in the Pirate Conflicts), but Sensei had asked them another question.

(I think this is okay, at least...)

"Hmm..." he said. "Honestly?" he asked. "Well, this gets into my faith," he said, "but I believe that light is better. That good, light, is better. Sensei, you're familiar with Christian teachings, I take it? I need say little more. I believe that the supreme being, well, lights the paths of all who seek Him, leading them in doing the right things. That, even though we have darkness, or evil, in us, the price of it's been paid, and that we can strive to deny the evil in us and be transformed...anyway, as for simply questions of good versus evil, well, evil, for one, is self-destructive. An evil-driven society will not last. Being selfish and greedy, a horrible vice, doesn't work in a society. Everybody tries to get ahead of one another, gets bitter about it, gives in to that bitterness and tries to get revenge on each other, and sooner or later, the whole society breaks down because nobody's working together. Whereas in a good-driven society would produce the opposite. Everyone would be working together to help each other, and rather than destruction and chaos, prosperity and peace would develop."

Didymus paused, and took another deep breath.

"Anyway, I know I may sound like an minister, but you asked." he said, with a slight grin.

Just then, his communicator beeped.

"Yes?" he said, picking it up.

"Sir?" another officer's voice came. "We're getting some readings of AIs doing battle under the city you're in. Orion's sent a distress call...Mr. Stark is going after them."

Didymus regarded Sensei for a while.

"Sensei..." he said. "...did you know about this? And do we have your permission to intervene?"

"How am I suppose to know robots are doing battle beneath the city?" Old Man Sensei said.

"Wait...how do you know it's ro-" Jamie began, but Old Man Sensei cut him off.

"Orion is a neutral planet still, young man. If someone helps us, all well and good, but I can not accept help from either side," he said, "Now, young miss?"

"...Darkness, sir," she said, shooting a look towards Didymus, "Light shows us what we can see. Their is no surprise. Their is only what we can percieve. But in Darkness, their could be anything. Our fears, our wildest dreams could be hidden within it's depth. It is Darkness that could be anything, while Light just shows us one thing."

The old man paused, nodding towards the two, "Anyone else wish to say something?"

"Well, it's better to play video games in the dark..." Coop said, "No glare...But then it's harder to see the snacks."

Old Man Sensei chuckled, "Well put."

Orion Conference Room

"Neither one," Sama spoke up, after having heard what both his boss and the female rebel commander had said. He leaned back with his hands behind his head, looking very unprofessional once again. He looked directly at the Old Man.

"You're asking a philosophical question, I would assume, but it's all in the wording. You didn't say 'good or evil', you said 'light or darkness'... the thing is, Old Guy, light and darkness are two essential parts of everything. There isn't a 'greater' of the two."

Sama suddenly turned his gaze serious, stood up straight and locked eyes with the Sensei. "Without the light, we would be lost forever in darkness. Crops can't grow without a light source, people and animals can't see, it's impossible to carry on our idea of a civilized society. On that same token, if it was never dark, we'd be losing out on the other end of the spectrum. There's flowers that bloom only at night, animals that won't arise from their slumber till the sun disappears, and a whole host of people who prefer the night to the day."

His seriousness continued. "In a matter of personal opinion, most people have a preference -- but to judge which is truly greater isn't something a human being is qualified to do. Both dark and light exist for a reason, a purposes -- and were we to lose either one then life as we know it would be fundamentally changed forever, and for the worst."

"It might not make everyone happy, but as long as human beings control this universe, we will have both light and dark, good and evil. There two very real conditions of what makes us human -- and as long as it is humans running the show, that won't change no matter how many wars we fight or how many years we live under the banner of peace. We simply have to live our lives the way we see 'right', and hope and pray that our version of 'right' is truly right. In the end, though, it isn't my place to judge what is and isn't right, or what is or is not greater."

Orion -- Sewers

Blasted at close range by Bumblebee, Megatron couldn't help but cry out as the metal tyrannosaurus head on his chest was blasted and covered in soot. Small electric sparks blasted out from the damage, but he wasn't about to give up yet. He jumped back, his tail-arm still spinning, and reached out with his other hand to pick up one of the Doombots and throw it at Bumblebee!

Meanwhile, the Doombots were shooting in every direction, apparently unable to find Sari. They could, however, find Dinobot -- and he quickly became their primary target. They blasted at him, and he retaliated with his sword and spinning shield; tearing down a few more.

With their attention turned towards Dinobot, most of them paying attention to anyone else.

Rebel Fleet

Asuka had been summoned to see Petersen a long time ago -- and she'd ignored his request until now. She'd been in her quarters, letting off steam from being forced to retreat.

Finally she stormed her way down to the meeting place and burst in.

"You wanted to see me?" She demanded, crossing her arms.

"Gah! Heavy heavy HEAVY!" Bumblebee exclaimed, trying to keep the Doombot that he had caught from crushing him. Bumblebee was fast not strong and the weight of a bot of that size was starting to get to him. He groaned and allowed the weight to fall but not before lying on his back and speeding forward on his wheels so that the bot hit the ground and not his own form.

With a sigh of relief he transformed back upright and stood, now using the wheels around his feet as skates and spinning around Megatron. He was now using his stingers to hit the ground around the Decepticon hoping to knock him off his feet.

Meanwhile Sari took this chance to run behind one of the doombots that was coming for the Dinobot and jump on it's back. She searched desprately for a crack anywhere that would lead to it's inner wiring and after finding a tiny one she jabbed her key in as far as it would go. Soon after a bright glow was emitied as well as sparks of the circuts becoming fried!

Luckily for Megatron, he was the biggest, baddest Predacon around, just like his forefather had been the baddest, biggest Deceptacon ever. He was strong and had a high threshold for pain.

Unluckily for him, Bumblebee was zapping his feet with electricity -- and Megatron had been walking through a very wet sewer for the last couple of hours. There was a bright flash of lights and he was thrown back; several connections in his legs were damaged by the high-powered jolt and he found his movement speed cut down like a bamboo chute going against a machete.

"Aragh! Nooo, no!" Megatron complained as he grabbed onto the half-destroyed wall for footing. "You're beginning to annoy me, Yes... yes!" Megatron aimed his scissor-tail at Bumblebee and fired a high-powered laser from between the prongs!


Meanwhile, the Doombot that Sari had gotten with her Keyspark was down for good; it's mechanics turned off permanently. The other Doombots did not seem to react -- unlike the transformers, or the Doombot clones of Doom himself -- these machines weren't sophisticated enough to have any AI.

They continued to concentrate their laser blasts and bullet barrages on Dinobot, who was using his superior speed to avoid them and occasionally take out a Doombot or two.

Dinobot glanced in Sari's direction for a second. That key sure seemed powerful. He was making a mental note that he might run into Bumblebee and Sari again -- on different terms.

"Woooohoooo! Look at my awesomeness!" Bumblebee gloated happily, looking towrads Megatron who was on the ground....Of course this victory only lasted a short time and before the Autobot could react he was being attacked by a tail that he didn't even know Megatron had! The tail connected with one of Bee's stingers and he wailed out as it was burned and sent sparking in every direction. He instantly recoiled his injured sting but as he did it shocked his harm, sending a wave of eletricity pulsing through him....his own power backfiring!

Sari watched from a short distance away, her crimson eyes wide as she watched her best friend. The small girl then pulled out her key from the broken doombot and rushed over to her friend....Of course that would involve getting past a Decepticon that was huge....And scary.....

Bumblebee seemed to notice Sari who was coming for him....This was not good....

"Sari! Don't! Get outta here!"

"As if!" Sari replied in a yell, but instead of going at him she watched Megatron carefully, hoping to find that CD and trying to find a way she could maybe overload him....


Sure it wasn't a safe plan....She was eight for crying out loud!

Didymus thought about Sama's words for a moment, and spoke.

"As far as physical light and darkness go, Sama, that's fairly true, at least," he said."And perhaps you are more correct than I in answering him as to his wording..."

"...Sensei?" he asked. "Were you asking a physical, or a philosophical/theological question? And as for helping you...I was simply asking if you'd give us permission to fight on Orion's soil against those...AIs."
