Jazzerman here, I do not own any of these characters, they are owned by their respected companies, as many as there are. You've heard this crap before. I only own my OCs.

Broken boundaries

Part 1

It was a peaceful day on Cybertron... or as peaceful as days are there. It was actually more of just a lull in the fighting. With both sides on in what may eventually feel like permanent peace, Cybertron is now recovering from the battle with the Swarm. The Decepticons are still quick tempered and rowdy but they aren't as likely to shoot at Autobots anymore. There are however some small anarchic gangs of Decepticons lead by some of the more insane ones that cause trouble from time to time. But still with control of Cybertron most Autobots are now just on security detail. Not that many have much to complain about it, peace is what we've been fighting for now.

Jazz sighed as he approached his old friend. They had been pulling guard duty at the solar collector of a large energon generator. Optimus had placed Jazz in charge of this section of the planet and he was doing his best to keep things in order. "Hey Hound, has that new guy arrived yet? He was supposed to relieve you some time ago."

"Arrived? He's been here for hours and hasn't done anything but sit around and talk to himself." Hound said, pointing over to the Autobot in question.

"What? Hold on I'll go get him..." Jazz grumbled. He had heard that this one was trouble. "Hey why aren't you taking Hound's place?"

This Transformer was mostly black with green lining over his legs, arms, and torso. He had two wings poking out of his back and upward much like the deceased Decepticon Seekers, Star scream, Thunder cracker, and Sky warp. Which gave away his alternate mode of a Cybertronian stealth jet. He had a green face plate (akin to Optimus Prime or Gold bug in appearance if not in color), two green eyes, and an entirely black head. To Jazz he looked more like Decepticon than an Autobot despite that he wore no emblem to be seen. Still he was classed as one in the duty roster.

"Hey Steel Burst, it's your turn." Jazz barked, startling the new 'bot.

"Sorry Jazz... I'm still very disoriented since the Swarm arrived." He said, getting to his feet.

"What are you talking about?" Jazz asked, genuinely interested in what Steel Burst was talking about.

"It's... nothing." Steel Burst sighed, "Let's just leave it at since the Swarm left, I haven't been the same. That thing was scary."

"That it was." Jazz said, nodding. "But I need you to take Hound's place, he's been at his post for three hours more than usual."

"Sorry about that... I guess I was just lost in thought." Steel Burst said as he stood up and walked over to relieve Hound of his duty.

Jazz shook his head and gave a questioning look after the black and green transformer. 'Strange guy...'

Meanwhile in another reality...

"Hey Bud are they ready for the peace talks yet?" Lori asked, both her and the brothers were waiting outside for the planet leaders to arrive.

"Yeah, Scourge just arrived and they're just sitting down." Bud said, readying his video camera.

Lori smiled. She was glad to see Scourge finally coming around to the side of peace and was sitting down with Optimus, Evac, Override, Metroplex, and Kernel Franklin. The Decepticons, or what was left of them were not here, where ever they were Lori hoped they weren't causing trouble.

"Alright," Optimus Prime called from the inside, effectively quieting the large conference room. "Let the first intergalactic peace talks begin!"

---

Back across realities...

"Say Hound, before you go, where all the old powerful Decepticons taken out before all this peace swept in?"

Hound tapped his chin looking over at Jazz. "Well from what I remember Sound wave was lost in space and never returned, Scourge and the Stunticons just kinda disappeared, same goes for the Terrorcons, Sixshot left the battle a long time ago and never appeared again... I'm sure a few others are still out there."

"Yeah, but at least the worst of the worst are gone. Shockwave, Sun storm, Star scream, the Predacons, Bludgeon, Scorponok, Jhiaxus, Unicron..." Jazz said, recounting on all the battles and friends that were lost taking them out.

"Remember what it took to be rid of them." Steel Burst said. "And also remember the wars are over, Megatron may have been revived by Cobra but for now at least things are over between both sides. Personally I'm glad it's quiet but what's an infiltrator like me good for now that everything's peace oriented?"

Jazz laughed. "You could always infiltrate the energon reserves and snag us some energon goodies."

Hound chuckled, the thought of some energon sounded good to him right then even though he'd never condone the act of theft.

"Nah... I think I'll just stockpile some energon, head to the planet of Junk, offer the Junkion leader Wreck-Gar three fourths of it in exchange to hang around, and bum around there for a while. I feel tried from all this."

Jazz nodded, mental fatigue wasn't uncommon to peace loving Autobots. Despite knowing little about Steelburst other than the data track in which Hound described him, Steelburst reminded him a little of Huffer, lazy and quick to complain but at the same time honest and tough. Add to that a tab flighty, which would serve him well if he decided to go to Junk. The Junkions were good natured but had a xenophobic streak since people like to steal things from Junk. Still Wreck-Gar might take in a tired Autobot without any form of payment, it was hard to tell with the Junkion leader.

"So what's so special about this solar collector? I mean it looks like any other I've seen more or less." Steelburst asked, looking up at the massive machine meant for collecting the solar energy of the stars they passed as Cybertron drifted in the vastness of space. Both sides were working on ways to cement Cybertron back in a stable orbit. Preferably before the distance between Earth and Cybertron grew too vast for the space bridge to function reliably.

"I don't know much other than that I was told that it's one of Wheel jack's old designs." Jazz said.

"Should we start running now?" Steel Burst asked jokingly. Wheel jack was known for creating machines that often had a tendency to... explode.

"Nah, before he died Brainstorm helped Perceptor in fine tuning it so it wouldn't go haywire like so many of Wheel jack's machines." Jazz replied, much to both Steel Burst's and Hound's relief.

"So... it's not running right now is it?" Steelburst asked, still looking jittery about near one of Wheeljack's creations regardless of it being 'perfected' by two other Autobot scientists.

"Oh it's running, and at full power too." Jazz said with a smirk on his face.

Steel Burst gulped. "Well, they turned it on and it didn't blow up. That's a good sign I guess..."

Hound laughed, until he looked up. "Hey what's that?

Both Jazz and Steel Burst looked up at the direction coming the Autobot Scout was looking at.

"It looks like three bots, one of them's bigger than the others..." Hound said. "They're two far away to make out who they are for certain. But if I had to guess one of them is a Gestalt."

As the incoming transformers came closer, the older Jazz clicked on his communicator. "Jazz to anyone, we've got serious trouble coming towards the solar collector at the new energon plant."

"What is it Hound?" Steel Burst asked, unable to see what was the danger.

"Old friends." Hound said reading his Hologram gun.

---

Once more across the realities...

"I second your proposal Optimus Prime, build that space bridge!" Kernel Franklin said, a second before the crowd around the table of planet leaders burst into a cheering roar.

"Very well!" Optimus Prime said, standing to address both the planet leaders and the crowd. "Let's usher in a new age of peace and-"

Optimus Prime stopped his speech as the room grew dark and what appeared to be a space bridge appeared hovering over head. The crowd which had been cheering only minutes before was now hushed and mumbling the same questions to the robots next to them. What was going on? Was this some last attack by Megatron from beyond? Was this a result of the black hole?

"What is this?" Scourge bellowed, standing from his seat. "What now?"

Before any of the transformers could react a black and green transformer fell from the erratic space bridge and crashed into the table, shattering it to bits. The leaders sprang back, unsure of what to make of this they all silently decided it was best to err on the side of caution.

The bot weakly got to its feet, shaking its head. It was damaged in multiple places; part of its chest plate was cracked, sparkling energon could be seen leaking around a large piece of shrapnel in its abdomen, and part of it's wing was bent downwards. The blank faceplate obviously denied any from seeing how much in pain it was in.

Optimus stepped forward, feeling like he should be the one to ask a few questions while he signaled for Red Alert to. "I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. Who are you and where did you come-"

"Here they come!" The 'bot shouted, throwing his already damaged self off the table and pulled out his weapon, recognized by some of the Autobots as a Decelerator laser, a weapon that inhibits an enemy robot's flow of cerebral impulses, effective against most opponents and very non-lethal.

Five more robots dropped through the 'space bridge', none of them looked very friendly and all sported the Decepticon symbol. One of them transformed into a large green and gold double headed dragon and began to charge after the wounded bot.

"I feel like a second helping of Autobot!" He called out gnashing both of his jaws as he charged.

"Only if you can find me Sinner Twin!" The apparent Autobot shouted as six pipes stretched up out of his back and began to emit thick smoke that quickly hid the green and black bot from view in seconds.

Scourge had wasted no time and was now attempting to grapple with another of the Decepticons, unfortunately he had chosen the strongest one there.

"You're a very powerful opponent." Scourge said, attempting with all his might to push his opponent back yet not getting anywhere.

"When you lead the Terrorcons you have to be the strongest, and I, Hun-grrr am indeed the strongest of all Decepticons!" Hun-grr bellowed as he suddenly pulled Scourge in for a powerful knee to the chest.

The other Autobots (plus Overdrive and Metroplex) were busy getting the civilians to safety, in addition to the humans. One of which was adamant to stay and support Scourge, namely Lori.

"Lori this place isn't safe, we've got to get you out of here!" Red Alert said, trying to reason with the stubborn human.

"But you might need our help!" Lori argued, although even to her it seemed like little she could do to help.

Lori sighed and went with the Minicons to find a place to hide. However the humans and Minicons were cut off by one of these new Decepticons.

"Filthy biologics! I'll tear you all to pieces!" It said, transforming into an amphibious creature similar to something between a shark and a frog.

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Hot Shot said, activating his cyber key and giving the Decepticon a hefty blast back towards the others.

"Come on let's get out of here before that thing gets back!" Coby said, getting no argument from either his brother, Lori, or the Minicons.

"Alright ya wee buggers, I'll wipe the floor with the lot of ya!" Metroplex bellowed, swinging his axe around in a threatening manner before leaping into the battle.

"Grrr... Sinner Twin! Ripper Snapper! Forget the humans and that battered Autobot!" Hun-Grrr cried. "Terrorcons! Merge and become Abominus!"

The remaining transformers were stunned having never seen a combination like this. All five Terrorcons combined into a transformer that dwarfed even Metroplex. This 'Abominus' let out a loud bellow, punched Metroplex sending the massive giant transformer flying across the room and began to shoot wildly at anything that moved.

"This thing's gone insane!" Overdrive cried, taking shelter from around a hallway exit corner. "It's like it just wants to destroy everything!"

"That's kinda the idea..." The green and black bot said, looking like he was about to fall over any second.

"How'd you get over here!?" Override yelped, turning to face the damaged bot.

"No time." He said. "Abominus will destroy everything around here... He's nearly invincible... but he's slow and dumber than a drone on quarter power. If you can out think him or out run him you can beat him."

Override smirked at the word 'outrun'. "I'll show you the meaning of outrun!"

The leader of Speed Planet blasted out of her hiding spot in her vehicle mode, not seeing the newcomer fall to his knees before going into Stasis lock.

Abominus had utterly ignored the down and out Scourge and Metroplex and had been focusing on battling the Autobots who where shooting at him from cover and attacking the building itself. Override circled the Gestalt, calling on her Cyber key power and firing with all her might. Abominus took hit after hit, only growing madder and madder with each missed kick and swipe at the female planet leader. Override was impressed at this monster's resistance to damage, but she alone couldn't take this guy down. He was being pelted by the others and was hardly feeling anything.

"Hey Abominus heads up!"

The Terrorcon Gestalt looked up only to get two feet bashed in his face, sending him toppling over to the ground. Override and the others held their fire at the sight of two new comers to the fight. A black and white Autobot that appeared to have a car vehicle mode and a Green Autobot with a jeep grill on his chest. Both of these newcomers punched their fists together and grinned, secretly they were pleased just to catch this Decepticon off guard like that.

Their joy was short lived as two more figures dropped down from the space bridge and shot both Autobots in the back. Both were Decepticons, one looked vaguely familiar to the native Autobots, looking very much like Sound wave from Planet X and the other... well he was entirely blue, had red eyes, and a long mustache and thin beard.

"Abominus! Cease your attack and withdraw from combat! We have plans for this place." The blue Decepticon bellowed in an authoritive voice. Abominus promptly rose and smashed down a wall, all three of Decepticons then did something the Autobots had never seen before. These 'cons could apparently fly without need of a jet mode as they simply flew out of the building. Leaving the building in ruins, the citizens panicked, Autobots injured, and the space bridge shattered and gone.

"Hey, you still functioning?" Override asked Scourge, who grumbled and stood.

"Grr... I was just surprised," The Jungle Planet leader grumbled, holding his side. "Who were those 'Terrorcons'?"

Override shrugged. "Never heard of them. Then again I've never seen either of these guys before."

"Oi, that Abominus fellow's got quite a mean left hook." Metroplex said getting up.

"Is everyone alright?" Optimus Prime asked, with the Cybertron defense team right behind him. "By the Allspark did those five Decepticons really do all this?"

"No, they combined into this monster of a robot called Abominus and smashed the place up until these two here knocked him down." Override said pointing to the unconscious bots on the ground. "Two more Decepticons showed up, shot them, ordered Abominus to fall back and they FLEW out that window."

Optimus looked at the two Autobots. "Red Alert, get these two to the med bay and get them repaired. I'd like to know what we're up against."

Red Alert nodded. "Sure thing Optimus, Scattershot gimme a hand."

Both of them grabbed the two unknown Autobots by the shoulders and lifted them to their feet, lugging them out of the ruined conference room.

"There was one more Optimus, the one that landed on the table." Override pointed to the prone bot lying motionless on the ground not far from them.

Hot shot ran over to check on him. "Wow this guy's in pretty bad shape... Optimus this guy''s in Stasis lock, he needs immediate care!"

"Get him to the med bay fast before his spark goes out." Optimus ordered, not wanting to see a single Transformer deactivated this day. "Hot Shot, you think you can get him there gently?"

"I'll do my best Optimus! Transform!" Hot Shot cried, converting to armored transport mode.

Override and Optimus both lifted the emblemless Transformer onto Hotshot and watched as he rolled off towards the med bay. Leaving the planet leaders to shake their heads at the damage.

"Well that did not end as I had hoped." Optimus said glumly.

"Who could've seen an attack like THAT coming?" Metroplex said. "But I'd be more worried about those Decepticons, especially that Abominus. He knocked me almost as hard as Galvatron did."

"We'll go after them later." Optimus said. "We'll focus on the health of these three possible allies and hopefully getting information on what these new enemies want."

To be continued...

AN: Well to answer some questions, the Cybterton-verse is set in the final episode and the G1 verse is set after the arrival of the Swarm in the G2 comics with a dash of the marvel comics and the animated show. Many of the Autobots and Decepticons are gone, and that's why I didn't use some of the more famous ones.
