## Chapter 1 - Ghosts of the Past

### Be Not Afraid

Part 1

* Marissa Faireborn: *Teletraan is reporting a new abnormality in Deception activity. I'm requesting all Primes and the Commander on deck for this one.*
* Optimus Prime: *What seems to be the quandary?*
* Marissa: *Everything within range of scans is swapping signals! First a desertion of Deceptions, then a flood of them.*
* Optimus Prime (MV1): *Can you propose a location for us to rally?*
* Marissa: *Up ahead there's one specific signal that is reading Autobot, with a background radiation of Decepticon circuitry.*
* Optimus Primal: *A Decepticon in disguise? Seems like a place to start.*

Part 2

* Jetfire: *That's far enough Decepticons! Posing as Primes, have you no shame?*
* Optimus Prime: *Skyfire! Is that you?*
* Jetfire: *My designation is Jetfire! Calculate carefully before you speak next, imposters.*
* Optimus Prime (MV1): *Too young to be the Jetfire I know. Same blunt attitude however.*
* Optimus Prime: *An Autobot by any name is a welcomed sight. If you just allow us to explain-*
* Jetfire: *Enough of your charade! There is not a Prime amongst you, one of your ranks couldn't even copy the form correctly!*
* *Honestly, an APE?! As a PRIME?*
* Optimus Primal: *If I wasn't sympathetic to your confusion, I may begin to take offense.*

Part 3

* Jetfire: *I have been studying this world since my arrival. Duplicates, Dark Energon pockets, and timelines overlapping or rewritten.*
* Optimus Primal: *It can be a lot to take in, time travel is never a simple thing to accept.*
* Jetfire: *From my observations, I can only assume you represent a threat and I must take preventative measures.*
* Optimus Prime: *What can we do to prove we are Autobots through and through?*
* Jetfire: *I believe in what my optics report and my sensors measure. When you and your human can fight like Primes, I'll start trusting you.*
* Optimus Prime (MV1): *You heard him Commander, show what kind of Sparks burn inside us!*

### Of Greatness

Part 1

* Jetfire: *I've searched this area to track the pulse of Decepticon energy. I've returned with a few...contradictory findings.*
* Optimus Prime: *In what way?*
* Jetfire: *I've seen Autobots turn on each other. Bases defended by Decepticons and Autobots alike. A path to a war that I wish to never see.*
* Optimus Primal: *It can be a strange world. But many of us remain as you remember.*
* Jetfire: *There is one whom I remember, their signal is nearby. I have hopes that this world changed them for the better.*
* Optimus Prime (MV1): *Hope is a luxury we are often not afforded.*

Part 2

* Starscream: *Are my optics faulty? Have the fates brought me closure and delivered Skyfire to me?*
* Jetfire: *My designation is Jetfire. Chaos and misfortune brought me here Starscream, but perhaps we may serve a purpose.*
* Optimus Prime: *This is who you were seeking out, Jetfire?*
* Jetfire: *Back on Cybertron he and I were paired as scouts. For the sake of efficiency, he would be an ideal candidate as we can scan for the source of Decepticon abnormalities.*
* Starscream: *Feeling homesick? I'm not in a nostalgic mood.*
* Jetfire: *It's for a greater good!*
* Starscream: *Since when is being good so great?*

Part 3

* Starscream: *I've detected a thing or two, but I don't share secrets with weaklings. You'll have to prove yourself worthy of my assistance.*
* Jetfire: *It would be hypocritical of me to deny a challenge I so recently requested.*
* Optimus Primal: *Agreed, I say we indulge him.*
* Jetfire: *I take no pleasure in this, Starscream.*
* Starscream: *Don't worry, I'll take plenty for both of us.*

## Chapter 2 - Enemies of the Present

### Uneasy Lies the Head

Part 1

* Jetfire: *Starscream, what is waiting for us ahead?*
* Starscream: *Suffering, punishment, and ultimately defeat.*
* Optimus Prime (MV1): *You may wish to adjust your tone, or we shall make adjustments for you.*
* Starscream: *Old habit, my new and fearless leader. the Decepticons are gathering fresh forces.*
* Optimus Primal: *More Decepticons leaders are being brought over? Another beastly Megatron?*
* Starscream: *No, they're brining over those who are known to follow orders. A Tactician in this case.*

Part 2

* Bumblebee (DOTM): *I was told some Autobot scrap heaps were headed over here for a fight.*
* Optimus Prime (MV1): *Bumblebee? What is your malfunction?*
* Starscream: *He's not your Bumblebee, Prime. He is part of the Decepticon plan.*
* Optimus Prime (MV1): *Dark Energon again? Hardly a new tactic.*
* Starscream: *Not quite, they are using a Spacebridge to access an ancient Dark Realm. This Bumblebee is a Decepticon loyalist.*
* Jetfire: *Confirmed, the only Autobot sources registering from him are on...*
* *...his knuckles.*
* Bumblebee (DOTM): *A bit of sparring practice, but don't worry I have plenty of fight left in me for all of you.*

Part 3

* Megatron (ROTF): *Enjoying yourselves, Autobots?*
* Optimus Prime (MV1): *This is your plan? Break our spirit by forcing us to destroy reflections of those under my command?*
* Megatron (ROTF) *Do not pretend to be a leader, Prime! You are a butcher. you have torn apart many a Bot whom you deemed unworthy!*
* Optimus Prime (MV1): *Our world knew more brutality than most. However, I only did what was necessary to protect innocent lives.*
* Megatron (ROTF): *Then you understand that when I snuff the Sparks of three Primes, I do it to save all Decepticons kind!*
* Optimus Prime (MV1): *I understand...that you will try.*

### That Wears a Crown

Part 1

* Jetfire: *How are they accessing the Spcebridge? The Energon required for transreality transfer is near incalculable.*
* Starscream: *They weren't exactly keeping me in the loop. I just know the general area that everyone seemed to be headed.*
* Optimus Prime (MV1): *Are you telling us that even the Decepticons do not trust you?*
* Starscream: *I may have a reputation for myself. It's not as though I'm the only disloyal Decepticon, is it Jetfire?*
* Jetfire: *I am loyal to logic and science. All the facts presented proved to me that the Decepticons served only as instruments of destruction.*
* Starscream: *Ah, but what lovely music those instruments make.*
* Optimus Primal: *Less chatter, more movement. We need to stop this plan as soon as possible.*
* Starscream: *As you command.*

Part 2

* Bumblebee: *Well, well...if it isn't a platoon of Primes and turncoats looking for another beehive to bother.*
* Jetfire: *Commander, this duplicate Bumblebee is not the same model as the one we previously encountered. Fresh tactics and no mercy is advised.*
* Starscream: *No mercy? Perhaps I am on the right team. Human participant or not.*
* Bumblebee: *You brought a human with you? It has been some time since I made one fear my fury.*
* Optimus Prime: *You will find our Commander is made of sterner stuff.*
* Bumblebee: *Oh, I plan to discover EXACTLY what they are made of.*

Part 3

* Megatron: *Does it awaken anything in you? This unrestrained violence against your friends?*
* Optimus Prime: *You lack originality Megatron. Will you all be just retreading the same plan over and over?*
* Megatron: *Prime, until you can repeat the results of a test...you've not really progressed in your findings.*
* Jetfire: *I am reluctant to agree with the details, but not the purpose, of that observation.*
* Megatron: *However, while my counterpart left you functioning, I shall take you offline.*
* Jetfire: *You'll find the conclusion of this contrary to your hypothesis.*

## Chapter 3 - Visions of the Future

### Passing Through Nature

Part 1

* Jetfire: *I'm having concerns that you're leading us to these battles intentionally, Starscream.*
* Starscream: *I understand your fears, but truly I am leading you to the source of all this!*
* Galvatron: *The truth? From you Starscream? This is bad comedy.*
* Starscream: *Autobots! What you seek is just beyond this quadrant. Meet with me there!*
* Galvatron: *Typical cowardice, this is why I have chosen a worthy opponent to serve as my personal lieutenant.*
* Ultra Magnus: *Did you summon me, Leader Galvatron?*
* Optimus Prime: *By the Architect!*

Part 2

* Ultra Magnus:*Come to donate your scrap to the cause? Our army requires fresh salvage.*
* Optimus Prime: *Ultra Magnus! It has been months, I thought you were lost to the wastelands.*
* Ultra Magnus: *My last memory was fighting YOU Optimus, until both our Sparks were extinguished...then I awoke here with a purpose, and a duty.*
* Optimus Prime: *This duplicate madness must come to an end.*
* Ultra Magnus: *If you are looking for an end, it will be provided.*

Part 3

* Optimus Prime (MV1): *Galvatron! If yo have access to a Spacebridge why pervert its purpose to terrorize us rather than use it to escape?*
* Galvatron: *This world does not wish for our escape, something more all-encompassing and consequential is at hand!*
* Jetfire: *Would you care to clarify your terms, or is cryptic speech your only refuge?*
* Galvatron: *You shall understand the grandeur of my words...when I send your Sparks to meet with oblivion.*

### To Eternity

Part 1

* Starscream:  DECEPTICONS! THE PRIMES AND TRAITOR HAVE BEEN LEAD TO YOU!!!
* Optimus Prime: *I wish I had a single circuit that could register this as a surprise, you triple-faced betrayer!*
* Jetfire: *Why? Why brother?! What could this madness possibly have to offer you?*
* Starscream: *FOOL! I gain that which I have always wanted! AN ARMY TO COMMAND!*
* Jetfire: *Who would follow your twisted will?*
* Sharkticon: WE AWAIT YOUR ORDERS LEADER STARSCREAM!
* Optimus Primal: *Primus save us...the inmates have taken over the asylum! All that's missing is-*
* Megatronus: *Welcome to your doom, Autobots. We have been eager for your arrival.*
* Optimus Primal: *Well...that's just PRIME.*

Part 2

* Optimus Prime (MV1): *I thought our Commander and their team sealed you in the bowels of this world, Megatronus.*
* Megatronus: *Yes, and I thank them for the glorious honor they bestowed upon me!*
* Optimus Primal: *Your higher functions pick up a virus? What madness are you spouting?*
* Megatronus: *You call this world New Quintessa...the Quintessons barely touched the skin of it. I have awoken the TITAN we dwell upon.*
* Optimus Prime: *You are a Cityspeaker now?*
* Megatronus: *We share a more ancient understanding. An alignment beyond what Caminus and his mere messengers could have hoped for.*
* Jetfire: *I shudder to think how broken a mind needs to be done before it could align with yours.*
* Megatronus: *Have you not seen the replication of other worlds in the midst of their destruction? This plante begs for war, and is a nemesis of life. This Titan is ...*
* A DECEPTICON.

Part 3

* Megatronus: *I have lived in the yawning expanse of the beyond. Unfathomable darkness has been awaiting and embrace us as it kin.*
* Jetfire: *I turned from the Decepticon cause. I'm certain this world can be shown the light of truth as well.*
* Megatron:  YOU ARE MISTAKEN, DESERTER!
* Cyclonus: WIN OR LOSE...
* Megatron (ROTF): ...THIS WORLD IS OURS...
* Galvatron: ...AND WE BELONG HERE!
* Megatronus: *Make you last stand, Autobot scum. Eternity awaits.*
* Optimus Prime (MV1): *Commander...*
* Optimus Prime:  ROLL OUT!
