Chapter 7: "Officialy" joining the Autobots

Optimus came up to me and spoke. "Heat-Glare, I would like to sincerely thank you for helping with stopping Megatron. Without you hindering Megatron and even injuring killing him, we may have not won today's battle and we could have lost a comrade."

Optimus extended out his hand to me and continued. "I would like for you to join us fully and not just a temporary member."

I took his hand and spoke. "Why not? I have nothing to lose in joining the autobots, plus, I'll have friends I could rely on and trust my back."

Now the only problem was destroying the cube, keeping the cube still intact spells additional trouble to deal with, for example, the decepticons constantly swarming and trying to steal the cube before the resurrection of Megatron and the rise of the fallen prime happens.

I looked over at Sam and spoke. "Hand over the cube, I'm going to fuse it with my core to destroy it." This was the simplest method I could think of right now.

"But Heat-Glare, the All-spark is pure raw power, fusing it would basically be suicide." Ratchet, who was nearby, spoke the exact same words he told to Optimus.

I look back at him with conviction and spoke. "A necessary sacrifice, to end the war for the cube, it must be destroyed, and I am willing to do it."

Ratchet turned silent and accepted my words as Sam hesitantly handed the cube over. I picked up the cube and opened my chest, showing my core.

I readied myself for the figurative pain I will experience when I insert the cube, and the next second later. I shoved it to my core.

My core started burning from all the knowledge and raw power it was receiving, I grunted, not screamed, I was a man. Or a woman? Doesn't matter.

The pain was a bit unbearable as I felt being burned alive, how do mechanical beings even feel pain?

The cube started to even melt up my adamantium frame, that was how powerful the energy inside the cube was, and I was willing to risk my life to obtain it.

That's right, the "necessary sacrifice" was absolute bullshit in order obtain the power of the cube. There was no way I was sacrificing myself unless it benefits me in some way.

Megatron died from the cube either from lacking willpower, or lacking strength in order to handle the energy the cube was producing and contained.

And I, I won't die from mere energy overload, I will survive and obtain this power for myself and survive the other events that will follow in this universe.

The pain started fading gradually and I ended up with my chest area burnt and melt together with power beyond what I had before.

I gradually blacked out from the exhaustion of will and strength from fusing the All-spark with my core.

The last this I saw and heard was worried voices and faint unrecognizable silhouettes standing over my metal body.

…

I woke up 2 days later according to ratchet who was tending to my injury and received all the necessary knowledge about the events after I fused with the cube.

And so, the war for the cube was ended by fusing the cube with myself, quite the basic solution.

But the war between the autobots and the decepticons have yet to stop since the only way it could was that every single one on the opposite side drops down dead.

There are still many other decepticons hiding around the planet now that their leader had died, it was sure that they would go into hiding.

Megatron's corpse was taken by the military and was loaded in an aircraft carrier to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and buried it there.

The U.S. government had handled all the things regarding the social media as much as they could, and we did our job and stayed hidden under the orders of the military.

After everything had to some point settled down, We, the autobots had a negotiation with the U.S. military to start the branch organization; N.E.S.T.

It was a program to hunt down the remaining decepticons that remain from the initial fight in mission-city, as I have heard its name was.

We searched all over the world to find the signs of decepticons to find them and hunt them down in order to ensure human safety.

The First decepticon we found and hunted down was a plane, yes, apparently it was a plane.

I was the only one able to chase down and kill the decepticon, so I was tasked to eliminate it if it escaped.

The decepticon did escape the ambush and was bragging all about it, but its glee was short lived as I shot it down.

The second that we had hunted down was in Paris, apparently it was a delivery truck that resembled what had killed me in my second life…

We killed the decepticon discreetly with my sniper railgun that had silencer mode on.

Yes, my railgun had undergone several modifications with the help of advice from the military and it now started to resemble Lock-down's sniper, although mine is way more powerful.

The third we had encountered was in Japan, and guess what? It was a full-blown cruiser and we had difficulty taking it down in sea.

The fourth was a small gathering of three decepticons in Philippines and we had to mobilize Bee, and Iron-hide together with Optimus and Jazz to take them down.

The fifth, the sixth, the seventh, the eighth, the ninth, and so on, we had hunted several decepticons all over the globe with the help of human forces.

I also had some development in skill and a certain degree in control of the power the cube had provided.

The bullshit of transformation barrier had been broken with the help of its own bullshit power, or now, my bullshit power, and I had scanned vehicles that might help me in the future.

Things were steadily progressing and there were fewer decepticons roaming around the planet, I had decided to relax and turn into my female human form.

And I only transformed into my mechanical giant form when needed or I was tasked to take out a con.

I have to say it, I MUST say, my female human form was goddamn hot, and I could stare at myself for the whole day.

And I also applied in the military as a white hacker and helped the military improve its firewall against hacking from the cons as it was needed.

It was safe to say the U.S. government was indebted to me and I have received a sticker as an award.

I know, I know. You think my contributions were small? No! I made their fire wall unable to be breached by normal cybertronian attacks.

I also made improvements with other things the military had and the changes I made would be enough to change the world, but they only gave me a sticker that said; best hacker/tech guy in the world.

And I don't regret helping them, the sticker they gave me was cute and I could use it against them.

It might come back to bite me in the future but, if they fire a nuke at me, I will still survive the attack.

I will also make sure to wipe them of the face of planet if they attack me, and I am fully capable of doing so now that I have the power of the cube.

Speaking of the power of the cube, I had unlocked about to 0.1% of it's total power and I could release 1 megatons of TNT equivalent of attack after receiving military consent for testing destructive weapons.

And that is only about 0.1% of the total power the cube could have released as raw power. If I transform the said raw power, I could maybe even enhance my adamantium body or even transform it to something totally new!

To transform it… into something new… you get it? My reference? Ha. Ha. Ha. Okay, stop, just get to the point.

I also had ended back into my house in my female form, and I have reintroduced myself as Crys Maxwell, Veron Maxwell's sister.

I had "accidentally" waved at Sam and he immediately recognised me right after, and it seems my action had been mistaken for… me being close to Sam.

Yuck though, I am not interested in that growing up man who can't even hold his ground against his bullies before.

I had experimented on somethings back at home like the cube's power, I had P.R.I.M.E. transfer over my phone that was in some sense, from the future and be my assistant A.I.

After that, I had gone back to the nearest N.E.S.T. base and met up with the other Autobots.

There, the others had happily welcomed me back into their work of hunting down and killing decepticons.

We had also met and gathered quite a few autobots, for example, the Arcee triplets, Sideswipe, Bolt, or Jolt?

Forgot the name, and also the twins that had and ice-cream vendor as vehicle transformation…

They were all introduced to me, and I also had introduced myself back to them, and Sideswipe was on edge with me claiming the title of best fighter in the league.

After all the introductions were said, I was briefed on the latest hunting mission after giving N.E.S.T. their monthly "allowance"(bribery) of 35 million from my bank account. The assumed decepticons were spotted in Shanghai, China. It seems that time passes far too quickly. It's as I say, "Time is gold, and so is money!"
