Description "Nooooo! My  creation  is  out of  control.
I  didn't  know  what  to  do.
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! " Then  blackness.



It   was  a  quiet  and  dead  night  at  Mars. Where  the  earth  was  red   with  cleiffs   made  of   frozen  ice.
There  were   dry  trenches ,where  water  used  to  be,  and   large  holes  were   meterites  had  crashed  years  ago.An  object  pierces through
the  planet's  atomsphere  and  crashed  onto   the  crimeson  earth  with  a  loud  boom. When  the  smoke  and  red dust
settled. An  object  glows  for  several   seconds. Then  it  dimmes. The  odd  thing   awaited  there , silently  for
someone  to   claim  it.  


It  was a  clam   and  clear  night  in  Cybertron  with   hover-cars  bleeping  loudy  and  two  autobots  having  an argument  in  a  alleyway.
Alpha  prime  was  sitting  at  the  kitchen  table ,  decoding  a  newspaper  for  a  job. He  was  a   purple  and   red  autobot  with  blue  censors. He  was  very  philsopherical  and  wise  autobot  who  had  been married
for  seveal  years. He  has  been  searching for  a  job  for  awhile, now  and  there   weren't   many  jobs  newadays. His  family   was   poor   and  they  needed  the  money  to  pay  the  electric  and  water  bills.His  daughter , called  Sungazer,
was  slightly  disfunctional  which  made  hard  for  her  to  think  sometimes. She  was  a  yellow  and   white  autobot  with  pink  censors. She  needed a  job, too.
So, she  can  move  out  and  start  her  own  life.  Alpha  continues  to  decode  the  newspaper  for  a  job.  Untill,  his   daugther  came  into  the  kitchen  for
a   drink  of  energon. Before  she  could  get  a  glass  cup. she  spots  something  on the  back  of  the  newspaper  and  says" Look,  dad. I  think  there's  a job
ad  on  the  back  of  the  newspaper." Alpha  folds  the  newspaper  and  turns  it  around. He  sees   the  ad  and  says" It's  a  mining  job  on  Mars   and  you  get  payed  a   hundred  dollars  for  it. I  think  this   could   be  a  good  sign.  What  do  you  think? Sungazer?" He  asked  his   daugther."  I  guess  so." She  replied.
Then  Alpha  gets  up  and  walks  to  the  phone , holding  the  newspaper  under  his  metalltic  arm.


When  Sungazer  and    Alpha  prime   arrived   on  Mars  with  yellow  helmets  to  protect  their  heads  from  any  falling  debris. Sungazer  looks   out  the  ships's  window   and  she  did  not  like  the
planet's  desolate   landscape. The  entire  planet   seemed  like  a  total  wasteland.There  was  absolutely  no   sign  of  life  here. She  wished  she  had  stayed  home  with  her
mother. But  her  father  needed  her  help. Thus, she  went  along  anyway. They  walk  out  of  the   transport  ship   and  appeorach   the  mine  entrance. Before  they
could   enter  the   mine. Several  other  autobots  came  running  out  of  the  mine  toward  the  ship. They  looked  like  they  were  frieghtened  by  something. One of  the  
terrerified  miners  bumped  into  Sungazer."what  happened?"She  asked  the  miner , helping  him  up. " There's   a  ghost  in  there.  It  whispers  out  words  that  
can  be  heard  in  the  tunnels. Don't  go  in  there." The  miner  runs  off   toward  the  ship , screaming. " come  back  here  you  bums!" called  a  female  autobot, running  out  of  the  mine. She  was  a  grey and  black   autobot  with  purple  censors. " What  happened?" Alpha  asked  the  Grey and  black  autobot.
"They   all  ran  out  of  the  mine  by  some  ghost." explained  the  female  autobot." But   that's  nonsense. There  are  no  ghosts  on  Mars." Said  Alpha  Prime." Oh, excuse  me  for  my  rudeness. My  name  is  Shootingstar. I  guard  this  mine  from  any  
hostile  life-forms."Said  the  female  autobot." My  name  is  Alpha  prime   and  this  is  my  daugther, Sungazer. We  are  here  to  begun  mining  for   energon." explained  Alpha." It's  nice  to  meet  you,both.  I  hope  that  you  two  are  braver  
than  those  cowards. Because  ever  since   the  boss   opened  this  mine. Strange  things  have  happened  there. Many  miners  have  reported  hearing  strange  whispers  in  the  tunnels. Some  have  even  claimed  to  
have  seen  a  wierd  ghosty  fitgure  in  the  tunnels. Many  of  them   have   quit  their  jobs  because  of  these   encounters. The  boss  is  thinking  of  closing  the   mine  done  soon  because  of  these  incidents." "I  hope not, because  we  need  the  
money  to  survive."" But  don't   you  find   it  strange  that  the  boss    would  want  you  to  guard  the  mine?" Asked  Sungazer." This  planet  is  completely  dead   and  there  is  not  single  sign  of  life  here."
" That  is   what  i  was  thinking  when  i  first  started  guarding  this  mine. I  guess  that  the  boss  doesn't  want  any  pisky  deceitpicons  stealing  his  energon. Anyway, let's  get  to  work. You  two  don't  want  to  be  late  on  the  first  day  of
your  job." They  went  to  the  mine  to  begin   digging  for  energon.  When  Sungazer  and  her   father  had  begun  to   excavate    in  the  mine  for  energon. They  met   two  other  miners , called  Starchaser  and  Mooncatcher. Who  had  worked  in  the  mine  before  them. They  were  twin  autobots  who  were    blue  and  white   with  red  censors.
They  were  mischellevous  and  funny  at  certain  times. But  they  were   serious  about  their  job. They'd  even  ideolized  their  boss. Sungazer  did  not  understand  why  the  twins  would  ideolize  their  boss. Bosses  were supposed  to  be  someone  to  pay  you  and  tell  you  what  to  do  on  the  job. Not someone  to   look  up  to.
But  at  least  they  were   good   employeess. Sungazer  had   befriended  them  at  lunch  and  they  often  talked  about  things  like  hobbies, books  and  movies. Until  one  lunch  break  when  Sungazer  was  sitting   at  the  table  between  
Starchaser  and  Mooncatcher. Starchaser  was  eating   a   metal   cookie    while  Moonctacher  was  drinking  from  a  oil   bottle.  Before  Sungazer  could  take  out  her  lunch." would   you  like  to  hear  a  ghost story.Sunny?"Asked  Mooncatcher, using  the  nickname  he'd  often  called  her  by. " umm...sure." replied Sungazer, amused.
"We  had  heard  this  one  before, Starchaser."" Yeah, but  she  hasn't  heard  it   before."" fine" Said  Starchaser, annoyed."It   had  all  began  when  the  mine  first  opened. There  were  many  miners  who  were  hired  to   mine   there. They  begun  to  hear  strange  whispers  in  
the  tunnels. At  first, the  miners  thought  it  was  just  the  wind  or   some  miner  having  a  conversation  with  his  former  employee. But   when  the  whisperings   became  more  frequant. The  miners  begun  to  get  suspicous  of  the  mine   and  complained  to  the  boss  about  the   whispers. But  the  boss  refuses  to  listen  to
the  complaints  and  threantened  to  fire  them. If  they  didn't  do  their  job.  Untill  one  miner  disappeared   in  the  tunnels  and  they  searched  for  him  for  several  weeks. Untill  they  found  him  at  a   tunnel  with  a  dead  end. His  pick-axe   and  helmet  were  untouched. But  his  hands  were  dirty  as  well  as  his  knees
as  if  he  were  digging  for  something. Noone   knew   what  he  was  looking  for  and  assumed  that   he  died  from   toxic  gas. So, they  sent  his  body back  to  Cybertron   for  a   porper  buriel  and  informed  his   family  about  his  death. Soon  afterwords, some  miners  report  seeing   a  ghosty  fitgure  that  looked  an  
alien  which  made  no  sense  because  there  is   no  life  on  this   planet. Some  tried  to  follow   this  fitgure  and   came  back, claiming  that  they  were  looking  for  something. To  this  day, noone  knows   what  the  followers   were  looking  for. But  there  are  many  guesses  as    
to  what  the  thing  was. was  it  gold? silver? precious  jewels?  or  perheps  an  ancient  relic?  we  will  never  know."Finished  Moonchaser." That's  a  very  interesting  story, Mooncatcher." commented  Sungazer." Yeah, but i  don't  beileve  such  rubbish." Said  Alpha,coming  to  
sit  down  at  the  table  with  his  lunch." Don't  worry, Sungazer. It's  just  a  ghost  story."" If  it's  just  a  story. Then  why  did  those  miners  came  screaming  out  of  the  mine? There  are  hardly  any  miners   left  and  the  mine  might  close  down soon."
Alpha  Prime  did  respound  to  this." Then....there...must  be  some  explaination." he  said, almost  mutturing." Maybe  there  is  really  is  a  ghost  in  the mine." she  said , convinced. " don't  be  ridiculous.It's  just  a  story  and  there  are  no  ghosts  in the  mine."finished   Alpha  Prime.  


The   next  day, when  Sungazer  and   Mooncatcher  were  hecking  at  a  wall. They  heard  Starchaser  yell, "Hey, Guys. Come and  see  this." They   lean  their  pick-axes   against  the  wall   and  went  to   see   what  Starchaser  was  yelling  about. They   ran  through  a  tunnel, turned  
around  a  corner, to  a  dead-end. Where  Starchaser  was   looking  at  something  on  the  wall  of  the  dead-end." Look  at  this." he said, moving  aside  to  reveal   two  circles  drawn  on  the  wall. One  was  large  and  the  other  was  small. " What  is it?" Asked  Mooncatcher,bewildered." I...don't  know.I  was  digging  for   some  energon. When, all
of  a  sudden. I  hear  someone   whispering   in  my  ear.When  i  turned  around  noone  was  there.But  there  were  these  two  circles  drawn  on  the  wall."Explained  Starchaser."I   wonder   who  drew  them?" Asked  Mooncatcher, still  baffled. " It  was  problaby   made  by  the  ghost  of  this  mine. What  do  you  think  it  means?"questioned  Sungazer. " I  mean  look
at  it. The  small  circle  is  inside  the  big  one, see."She  pointed  at  the  little  circle." Do  you  think  that  the  ghost  is  trying  to  tell  us  something?" "I  don't  know   but  we  better   report  to  the   boss  about   this."" But  what  if  the  boss  thinks  that  it  was  one  of  us  who  drew  them?" Asked  Sungazer, fearfull."  He'll   fire  us  for  it." Mooncatcher   just  shrugged.
Later, when  the  twins  and  Sungazer  reported  to  the  boss  about   the   drawing. The  boss  assumed  that  it  was  problaby  created  by  some  employee  who  liked to  draw  graffeti. Even  Alpha  Prime  agreed  with  the  boss'  asssuption. So, they  were  sent  back  to  work  into  the  mine  for  the  day. They  wondered  if  the  ghost  was  trying  to  tell  them  something  or  it   was  just  
some  harmless  graffeti.  


When  it  was  lunch  time. Sungazer   sat  between   the   twins  as  usuell. She  was  still  thinking  about  the  odd  drawing  on  the  wall. She  wonders  if  the   cicyle  meant  something. A warning? A  bad  omen?, a  message?  or  something  else  entirely. " You're  still   thinking   about   that  graffeti?" Asked
Starchaser, relunctantly."Yeah." Replied  Sungazer."  It   problaby   means  something  like..... an  omen, a  caution  or   maybe   even  a  message. It  could  mean   anything  or
it   could   be   just  a  decepiticon  trying   to  scare  us   with  his   sound-effects  , holograms  and  drawings." She  concluded." How  can  one  decepiticon  scare  off   all  those  miners? It   makes  no  sense."Pointed out, Mooncatcher.  
"Unless  he   had   help  from   his   fellow   decepiticons. Then  it  would  make  sense." She  said. "But  why  would   he  want  to   spook  the  miners  with  a  few   holograms, sound-effects  and  unusuell  drawings. That  seems  very  cowardly  for  
a   decepiticon. Decepiticons   are  basically   soldiers. They   don't   need   a  few  special  effects   to  frieghten  their  enemies." Added  Starchaser,opening  his  bottle  of  diesel. "It's  pretty  obvious  that   the  decepiticons  are  after  the  energon  in  this  mine." She    concluded  for  the  second  time.
"Yeah, but  if  they  wanted  the  energon   so   badly. Why  didn't   they  just  take   all   the  energon  and  leave.  You  think  that  the  miners   would   have  fitgured   out  by  now  that  this  all   just  a  big  phooney, pepponi  and  there  is   no   way   a  decepiticon   can   put  this   up   for  that  long."  Sungazer  did  not  reply  to   this. " You're  right." She   admitted. "It  does  not  make  any  sense." She  resumes  to
eat  her  lunch. "Maybe  there   really  is  a  specture   in   the   mine." assumed  Mooncatcher. He  began   to   eat  his  stainless  steel  spaghetti  with  grey  sauce  which  was  melted  metal."I   have  one  question  though. How  long  has  this  mine  been  open?" Asked  Sungazer. " Well, my   brother   and  i   have  been  working  here  for  two  weeks. So, we  don't  know  when  the  mine  first  opened." answered  Starchaser." Who knows,
but   still......maybe   something   is  going  in  this   mine. We   don't  know   about." " Perheps, there  is   a  secret  operation   going  on   in  the  mine  by   the  decepiticons." Theorized   Starchazer." Maybe." Said  Sungazer." Just  Maybe." The  Twins  and  Sungazer  finish  their  lunch  and  went   back   to  work   in   the   mine. Alpha  Prime  asked  Sungazer  about  what   she  and  the   twins   were   talking  about. She  tells  
him   that  she   and  the  twins   were   talikng   about  the  ghost  and   the   theory   about   decepiticons  being  behind  it  all. He  scolded   her   for  it   and  told   her   to   not  to  beileve  such  things. But   he    still   couldn't  help  but   think  that    she   could  be  right. What  if   the   decepiticons  truely  were  behind  all  this.  


She  was  floating  in  a  dark   and  smokey  place. She  couldn't   tell   wether   she   was  flying  through   the   clouds  like  in   a  child's  dream  or   simply  floating   on   the  surface   of   a  ocean. She   felt   like   a   light  feather  floating  through  the   currant  of   air. She  tries   to   scream. But  all  that   came  out   of   her  mouth  was...... silence.  She   allowed  herself  to  be  carried  through  the  seeming  endless  and  foggey  void. It    
seemed   to   go  on   for   an  eternality. Untill  a  voice   says" Do   not   be  afriend, autobot." She   wanted   to   reply  to   whoever  said  that. But  she  could  not  speak. A   ape-like  face  appears   directly   infront   of   her.  She   halted   in   mid-air, almost   crashing  into   the  face. She  felt  scared  and  naked." Autobot, you   must   find   this  object." A  strange , orange  and  white  object   appeared  beside  the  
face. Then  it   disappeared."  You   must   deilever   it   to   your   father. My   master's   creation   must   not   know   about  it's   location. It  must  be  kept   safe   and  protected   from  my  master's  monstersity." A    gigtanic ,  orange  and  grey   planet   emerges  from   the  smoke.  It    had   a  titantic  ring  around  it. It   also   had   enormous  pinchers  infront  of  it. It  looked  almost   like  the  planet , Uranus. Only ,
it   was   alive   and  metallic. But   it   had   a  mencing   and   evil   presence  about  it. When  it   transformed. It   was   the  most   colossal   and  terrifing   robot  Sungazer   had  never  seen. She  opened  her   mouth  to   scream.  But    she  couldn't. She  watched   as   the    immense   robot   appoearches   a  small  and  grey  spaceship   which  had   appeared  as  well.  The  spaceship   looked  like   a  little  toy   compared  to  the   vast   robot. When  the
robot   was  infront  of  the   spaceship. Lasers   shoot  out  of  the  robot's  eyes   and   pierces   through  the   small   spaceship. There   was   a  loud  scream    and   someone    crying  out "No...My  Creation!". Then   silence. Something   comes  out  of   the  spaceship. She   couldn't   tell   what   it  was. But  She  knew  what  the  ape-like  face  meant." Do  you  understand? autobot?" The  face  asked  her. She  nodded. "Good,  now  go  and  find  the  matrix. Farewell,  
autobot." The  face   disappears   as  well   as   the   gigtantic  robot    and   the  small  spaceship. She  was   left  alone  in   the    dark  and   bottomless  void. She  felt  cold, naked  and  helpless. Then  she  wakes  up  in   her   dark  bedroom  with   Cybertron's   two  moons  shining  through  her  window. She  looks  around  her  bedroom  franktically. There   was  no  smoke   and   no   endless  void. She   gasped  in  relief. She  gets  out  of  bed   and  went  into  the   hallway.
When  she   entered  the   kitchen. She  turns  on  the  kitchen  light  and   approaches  the  steel  cupboard. She  opens  the   cupboard  and   takes  out  a  cup. She  closes  the  cupboard  and  went  to  the  kitchen  sink.
When  she  filled  the  cup   with  energon. She   goes   to   the  living  room  to  sit  down  on  the  couch  and  to  drink   her  cup  of   energon. "What  the  heck   was  that  about?" she  thought,bewilderingly,  as  she  sat  down  on  the  couch.


Later  that  morning, she  sat  next  to  her  father. she   looks  out  through  the  ship's  rear  window. She  hated  the  way  Mars  looked  like  it  had  once  been   a  living   planet. Now, it  was  no  more  than  a  red  barren  wasteland. She  thought  of  telling  her  father   about  her  strange   dream. But   he  problaby    won't   beileve  her. She  would  perheps  tell  her  friends   about  it   when  it  was  lunch  time.  when  The   ship  landed   on   Mars'  red  earth  and  they  emerged    
from   the   ship. They   see   the   other  miners   shouting   out   about  something.  But  they  couldn't   make  out  what  the  other  miners  were  saying.They  quickly   ran   to   Shootingstar."  What  is  going  on?" Asked  Alpha." The  boss   has  gone   missing. His   family   had  called  him   this   morning. But  there  was  no  answer." explained  Shootingstar. " Does  anyone  remember   where   they  saw   him  last?" Asked Sungazer, concerned. " No, noone   does. when  i   came  to  this  office
this   morning. He  wasn't  there. He  didn't  even  leave  behind  a  note."" Do  you  think  it  has  something  to  do  with  the  ghost  and  the  whisperings?" Asked  Sungazer. "Sungazer! How  many  times  do  i  have  to  tell  you. there   are  no  such  as  ghosts." Scolded   Alpha." Oh yeah, how  do  you  explain  all  miners  ranning  out  of  the  mine   like  cowards." "Well, umm."" and  how  do  you  explain  the  graffeti  yesterday. You  think  an  employee  is   stupid  enough  to  draw  that  
while  he's  on  duty.  He   would  have   been  fired   for  that  yesterday! And   what  about   the  twins'  story?!" " ENOUGH! I  DON'T  WANT  TO  HEAR  ANYMORE  OF  THIS   GHOST  AND  WHISPERINGS  RUBBISH!"Alpha  prime  angerily  went   to   the  mine  to  search  for  the  boss. He  did  not   care  if   Shootingstar  told   him   which  place  to  look, first. The  other   miners  were  staring   at  them. "Would  you  all  go  back   to  searching." Demanded  Shootingstar.  The  other  employess   obedied. " Cheer up
Sungazer." " why   would   you  care? You  side  with  my  father." Said  Sungazer, sober. " I  don't  take  sides.Sungazer. But  you  could  be  right.It   may  have   something  to  do  with   the  ghost." "what's  going  on  over  here?" Asked  Starchaser , appoerching  with  his  twin  brother."Go  away." said Sungazer, sadly." She  just  had  a  arguement  with  her  father." explained  Shootingstar." Oh." Said  Starchaser. He  wanted  to   comfort  her. But  she  pushes  him  away."Do  you  really  think  it  has something
to  do  with  the  ghost?" Sungazer  asked  Shootingstar." I...i  don't  know.But...but...but   there   is  something  going  on  in  this  mine. We  don't  know  about. Perhaps   the  boss  is  running  a  smuggling  operation  or  the  decepiticons  could  be  up   to  something  or   maybe   it's  the  ghost   after  all. Starcahser  and  Mooncatcher. I  want   you  two  to  go  with   Sungazer. She'll  need  you   two  in  the  mine. Sungazer, i  am  sure   your  father  will  apperciate   it. If  you  help  him   find  the  boss.
Sungazer  said  nonething. She  follows   the  twins  into   the   mine.  The  twins   tried   to   cheer  her  up. But   she   cried   as  they  searched   the  tunnels   and  passeges   for  the   boss. They   learned  that   there  were  miners  in  the  mine  looking  for  the   boss. While  the  others  were  outside  looking  for  him. Sungazer  and  the  twins  attempted  to  look  for   any  footprints  that  could  lead  them  to  the  boss. But   all   they  could  find   was  the  employess'  footprints. They  were  
beginning  to   lose  hope.  When   a   miner  came   to  them  and   told   them   that   someone   found  the   boss. This   good  news   cheered  up  Sungazer  and   she  immediately   rushes  to  the  mine's  entrance. The   twins    manage   to  catch  up   with  her. But  when  they   exited  the  mine. The  boss  was  lying  on  the  ground  with  Alpha   kneeling  down  next  to  him. Sungazer  and   the  twins  run  up  to  the  boss and  Alpha. Then  they  kneel  down  next  to  the  boss. The  boss  was   carrying  
something  in  his  arms. It  was  round   with   a   white   ring  around   it.  It   was  yellow  and  made  of   metal. There  was  also  a blue  glow  emitting  from   it's  centre. " He  is  alive?" Asked  Shootingstar, bendering  over  to  look  at  the  boss. Alpha  checks  the  pulse  on  the  boss'  neck." He's  alive. Just  barely" answered   Alpha." The..m....matrix." Said  the  boss, hoarsely." Huh, what?" Said  Alpha, confused  and  worried." The  matrix...must....not  fall.....into   the  hands.....of...the  decepiticons.
It....must  be   kept  safe....with  the  first  leader....of  the  autobots." The  boss   holds  up  the  yellow  object  and   Alpha  prime  accepts  it."Keep  it  safe  from  the  decepiticons....and.....Unicron. May.....it.....protect  Cybertron  from  the  endless  hunger....of....my.....master's  creation." Then,  with  his  last  breath, the  boss  died. His   metal  body  turns  grey  as  ash. Noone  said  a  word. Sungazer  put  her  hands  to  her  mouth  to  stop  herself  from  screaming. The   twins  look  at  each  other
in  shock. They  had  never  seen   an  autobot  die  before. Shootingstar  just  stood   there  with  her  mouth  open. She  couldn't  beileve   her   eyes." Gentlemen  take  the   boss'   corpse  to  the  ship.  Starchaser  and  Mooncatcher   go  to  the  boss'  office  and  call  the  boss'  family. tell  them  that  he   had   died. We're   closing   down   the  mine." " But  what  are  going  to  do ?  dad? The  boss  is   dead  and  the  mine   is   closing  down." Asked  Sungazer, Panically. " I   don't  know, Sungazer, I  don't  know."
replied  Alpha  Prime. He  had  a  feeling  that  things  were  going  to   get  a  lot  worse. When  the   boss'   carcass  was  sent  to   Cybertron.  His  family  held  a   funeral   for  him. While  Alpha  Prime,Sungazer, the  twins   and  Shootingstar  close  down  the    mine   for  good  and   returned   to   Cybertron   with  the  other  miners.  They   were  grime  and  greif-striken. But  they  still  had  unanswered  questions  about  just  what  happened. How  did  the   boss  die?  where  did  the  boss  go  to?  did  the  inhale  
some  toxic  gas  and  died  from  it?  who  was  this   Unicron   person? was   it   someone  creation? who  is  it's  creater?  What  is  this  so-called  matrix?  Unfortuntely   these   question  will  never  be  answered  for  the  time  being. Sungazer  and  the  twins   were  still  friends  even  after  the  mine  was  closed  down. They   often  go   for  walks  together  or  play   sports  for  the  matter. Sometimes,  they  will  go  to   a  bar   for   a  drink  and dance  or  perhaps  play  a  game  of  pool. Shootingstar  
returned  to  Cybertron's   millitery  and   became   a  trainer  for  a  living.  She  still  sometimes  visits   Sungazer  and  the  twins   for   a   drink  or  for   a  bargue.  As  for  Alpha  Prime   he   became   the  first   autobot   leader   on   Cybertron  and  many   Autobots   had   faith  in  him.  He   lead  the   autobots  into   war  against  the  decepiticons.  But  he   will  not   last  for  long.
