Out of the Ashes

By Star Ruby

Cyberton, what a beautiful planet to visit serene and peaceful due to its second golden age. Wishful thinking, the Decepticons want to resume their war against the peace loving Autobots. Megatron is not happy with the peace talks that are going on with the other alien races. He plans to interfere with the meetings by attacking the conference centre.

"Decepticons the time has come for us to declare war on those Autobots. We will attack the conference centre. I heard that a peace conference is going on. What a great way to make our return. Star Ruby assemble your troops, I will need Death Crystal during the assault. She is the most powerful warrior I have." I laugh wickedly because I agree with Megatron.

I leave the meeting feeling great because I missed attacking the Autobots. I transform into my seeker jet mode and fly full speed to the Aerial femme base. I am unaware that I am wearing a bomb that Bloodstone attached to me earlier in the day.

Bloodstone is ready for me she hits the detonator. "Hasta la vista Ruby, bwaaa, haaa, haaa." She smiles when she sees the bright explosion in the horizon. "At last I will become the new leader of the Decepticon femmes." Bloodstone returns to the femme base.

Bloodstone walks into the Female Decepticon base. "Hello sisters, Razormoon and Razorclan. I have awful news to tell you. Our beloved Star Ruby was destroyed by a crazed Autobot. Sniff, sniff, I tried to help her but it was to late.

Razormoon can hardly believe what she is hearing. "Is this one of your lies Bloodstone?" "I wish I could say yes to that Razormoon. I brought proof back to base with me." Bloodstone shows everyone part of my wing. Everyone gasps because Bloodstone is telling them the truth.

I never feel the bomb go off. The Decepticons hear an explosion near their base. Megatron is surprised to hear the explosion too. He gets off his chair and looks out his office window. He notices smoke coming from one Vilnacrons locations. He knows the Autobots would not pull a stunt like that. Megatron leaves the base to check the damage the bomb caused. He leaps into the sky to survey the damaged area.

Megatron spots familiar colour body parts. He screams with rage when he realises that I am the victim from the blast. He spots me severely burned and damaged. Megatron lands next to me and worries because my optics are very dim. "Star Ruby, don't die. It's me Meggy please hang on, I will have Hook repair you immediately." Megatron realises that he will have to do something to help me survive for the time being. "Hook, come to Central Park, I have a severely wounded Decepticon with me. Get here double time and I will give you a raise in energon cubes."

Hook becomes excited because whoever the wounded Decepticon is, must be important to Megatron. Hook quickly gathers his equipment and rolls full speed to Central Park, he has Long Haul with him.

Megatron notices my optics shut off. He executes his plan to save me. Megatron removes a wire from his forehead and fastens it to mine. He attempts to use his own power to help save me. He collapses out cold due to a severe lack of energy.

Megatron enters my mind. He notices how strange the surroundings are. He is mystified by the colourful skies and landscapes. He feels a sense of peace in my mind. He spots me relaxing under a tree. "Star Ruby, where are we?" I am happy and surprised to see Megatron. "Megatron what are you doing here? Did you die too?"

Megatron is surprised by that remark. "No, I am still functional. I interfaced with you to save you. Where am I anyway?" I smile at Megatron. "Meggy we are one with the matrix." Megatron gives me a horrified look. "Welcome to the after life Meggy." I hug Megatron, he kisses me on the forehead because he is happy to be with me. Megatron and I admire the beautiful sky. I snuggle up close to my boyfriend.

Hook arrives at Central Park he quickly frees Megatron from me. Hook gives Megatron a power boost. "Hook, I am still functional. Star Ruby told me that I was dead." Hook gives Megatron a funny look. "You were not dead Megatron, only out of fuel. That was a dangerous stunt you pulled Megatron. Did you not realise that interfacing with Star Ruby could have taken your own life?" "Hook, I only did it to save Star Ruby. Is there a way to save her?" Hook looks at my wounded body. "Yes, Megatron I believe I can save her. Just do me a favour, never pull that stunt again." Megatron glares at Hook for talking to him meanly. Hook is use to the look. He knows that Megatron would never terrminate him because he is the only Decepticon medic around.

Hook lays me carefully on Long Haul he starts repairs on me immediately. Megatron watches the two constructicons leave. He hopes that I can be saved. Megatron knows what he must do. He fly's to the Aerialcon base.

Megatron enters the base. He notices Diamond, Emerald, Topaz, Razormoon and her sisters grieving over the loss of me. "Hello ladies, Star Ruby is at the trauma centre. Hook told me that your leader has a very good chance to recover." The women all give Megatron hopeful looks. "Razormoon, I put you in charge of the Aerial Femme Team until Star Ruby is fully recovered." "As you command Megatron." "One more thing ladies, I will not rest until I find out who is responsible for harming your leader."

Megatron rushes to the trauma unit to see how I am doing. "Hook how is Star Ruby?" Hook grins at Megatron. "Commander, I did it. I managed to save Star Ruby's life." Hook takes Megatron to the recovery unit. "Behold Megatron, the new and improved Star Ruby."

Megatron smiles at my new body. I am still built like a seeker jet, I am a little bit taller and I have a fusion cannon on my right arm. "I love her new look Hook, quickly reactivate her." Hook hits the switch. I come back to life. I smile at Megatron and Hook. "Thanks for saving my life."

I sit up and notice right away that I have a fusion cannon on my arm. Megatron helps me to my feet. I notice that I am taller too. "Star Ruby do you know who attempted to assasinate you?" "I sure do Megatron. Bloodstone was the person who attempted to kill me. Now if you will excuse me I have to punish a traitor."

Megatron's eyes turn a fiery red. He leaps into the air after me. He wants a piece of Bloodstone for hurting me. I am surprised to see Megatron flying beside me. "Megatron I know what you are planning, please do not hurt Bloodstone. She may be a traitorous brat but she is still my sister." "Star Ruby you are nuts. That traitor does not deserve to live." "Meggy, I have something nasty in mind for my sister. I will kick her off the Aerialcon team. Razormars can take her place as part of Death Crystal. What do you think of that my lord."

Megatron grins at me. "Star Ruby my dear, I love how you think." Megatron floats in the air, he pulls me into his arms and kisses me. I pat Megatron on the cheek. "Bye Meggy, see you later." Megatron and I now share a mental bond. We can read each others minds. Megatron grins slyly at me.

I enter the Aerialcon base. My teammates are happy to see me back. They are impressed by my stronger body. They also like my fusion cannon. Bloodstone turns pale at the sight of me because I am still alive. "Hi Bloodstone, just the lady I wanted to see. I banish you from the Aerialcon team. Consider yourself lucky that I do not terminate you."

Bloodstone sneers at me. "Fine, I never wanted to be on your stupid team to begin with. Goodbye Star Ruby and losers." I watch my sister leave the base. My teammates applaud me because I banished the traitor. I smile at my troops because it is great to be alive.
