		Chapter: 8
		One with the void
--------------------------------------------------------------------

	Galvatron stood on the hull of the massive saucer
shaped disk as it hurtled through space.  "Omnicron.
I have killed Neo Convoy.  Now fulfill your half of the
bargain.  Relese me from Unicron's curse."

	All was silence for a moment.  Then the booming
voice of Omnicron came fourth.  "Thou wouldst dare to
make demands of me?"  Gavlatron raised fist. "We had a
deal Omnicron.  I killed Neo Convoy.  Now you are bound by
your word to remove Unicron's pain receptors from my body."
"Fool.  Know thee not that I am above the mortal constraints
of right and wrong.  I owe thou nothing.  Get thee
from my sight before thou eanst my wrath."
"QUINTISAN SCUM!  Come out from your vesel!  Show your
face, all five of them and let me rip your tentacles from
your body."  "Quintisan?  IS that what thou believe I am?
Quintisans the weak fools who provided the body which I
inhabit as well as yours.  The fools who devided me
to create thy own race Galvatron."  "You....YOU'R LIKE
UNICRON AREN'T YOU!"  "In a way.  We both seek to unite our
own ellements.  Unicron was weak to believe that all he
needed do was consume all matter in the universe.  He did
seek to unite the universe as one.  But he does not understand that the
physical reality is nothing but a tool through which
the spiritual world acts."  "You mean our sparks?"
"Yes the sparks.  Long ago the quintisans created the
super computer Vector sigma to reach into the heart
of Primus and pluck out a piece to give sentience to their
slaves."  "The....matrix.  So what does this have to do
with your goals."  

	A squriming metal tentacle reached from the ship's
hull behind Galvatron and struck him in the back.
Galvatron felt his spark being moved.  He had been
hit by a spark extractor.  "You see now what I am. 
I am the redeemer.  I will retrieve the sparks stolen
from the matrix and unite them within myself.  I am the
master spark that will return the world to is natural state.
Now I say to thee goodnight Galvatron."  
Gavlatron clenched his fist and his spark pulled back into his body.
He then reached behind his back and tore the tentacle apart.
"Who's the fool now Omnicron?  You provided me with this
body I designed with an improved spark chamber withs uperior deffenses.
Given I didn't know about your spark extractors but it
seems it was more than enough to deffend against your pathetic
attacks."  

	Gavlatron lept from the ship's hull, transfomred into
fighter mode and shot off into space.  The ship
turned a cannon toward Galvatron and fired at him. 
Galvatron took a hit in the back as he made his escape toward
cybertron.

	Back in the citadel a fully recovered optimus Feral
Met with his remaining teammates.  "We've lost too many 
to this war.  I've decided to throw away any caution of
our influences on the time stream.  Because if Mirage is
right then there won't be a future if Vehitron wins.
I am accepting all help.  Geckobot's weapons will be an
advantage for us in this war.  But I understand
that some of you may not want to go on fighting this war.
You risk falling the way of Neo Convoy or Purplebolt.
But before you decide remember that Vehitron and the unknown
object heading toward cybertron are a threat to everyone.
Maximal, Predacon, Autobot, Vehicon......"
Feral was cut off by a voice coming from the gate.
"And Decepticon." 

	Gavlatron stepped into the citidel as
everyone went to arms.  Feral drew his sword.
"Put it away.  I'm not here to fight you."
Gavlatron said.  "And why should I trust you.
You killed a friend of mine.  I won't forgive you
for that.  Now take out your sword
and fight!"  "Your honor binds you to fight me does it?
Or is it your pride?"  "I don't care.  FIGHT ME!"

	Feral rushed at Galvatron and swung his sword.
Galvatron casually stepped aside and struck Feral
on the back toppling him.  "You didn't think that
you could defete me did you?  Look I'm much stronger
than you.  Why don't you just accept my pressence as a tactical advantage."
"Because of what you did..."  "What I did?  Don't you have a checkered
past as well?  haven't you made bad descisions.  What's the difference?
Simply because mine were only recently.  Does time make a sin
any less severe?"  "STOP WITH YOUR MIND GAMES!"  

	Galvastorm placed a hand on Feral's shoulder.
"We all make mistakes.  And we all hold grudges.
But sometimes we have to let things go.  NOW PULL YOURSELF THE
SLAG TOGETHER!"  Said Galvastorm as he slapped Feral across
the face.

	Feral stood still for a moment.  The citidel was silent.
Feral's footsteps echoed in as he stepped toward Galvatron.
The two transformers stared at each other.
So different.  Galvatron's eyes glowing red with not a pupil
to be seen.  Feral's so lifelike and shining blue.
One the decendant of autobots.  One the original mighty decepticon.
Different races.  Different generations.  

	Feral extended his hand and Galvatron shook it.
Two transformers found the one basic simillarity.  Both
had sparks which burned with love and hate, joy and tears
and the disire for freedom.

	Later Galvatron has explained the situation 
with Omnicron to Feral.  "So if Omnicron's ship is that
object headed toward Cybertron then we have only
twelve hours before he arrives.  And when he arrives....."

	Deep in space.  A dark shadow descends on a collonized
planet.  Collony Rigil.  The enormous saucer shaped 
ship belonging to Omnicron moved into position.  The lower
bay of the ship opened.  Two long spikes portruded
from the ship's lower half and dug into the crust of the 
planet.  The transformers on the surface began to flee for cover.
Soon a bright light was eminated by the ship which 
covered the planet's surface.  The beings dropped in their
tracks.  Like flies under a glass dome the fell
as their sparks lifted from their bodies and were sucked
into the ship.  When all life was silenced the ship
released its death grip on the planet and continued
on its course to cybertron.
