END GAME Part One: ARRIVAL
Your victory against the Zone, though hard-won, is brief. The resulting peace is broken by several things happening at once.
As though driven by spite at the Haven's refusal to bow down, the resurgence of the Lambda is sudden, vicious, and violent. The distant figures of the First Forged, tiny in comparison, make an appearance as they flit across the wounded sky, as they did before the Zone's eruption. But whatever they might be attempting, it is already too late.
The sky crackles with lightning and thunder, cast in the same sickly green glow of the Lambda. The crack in reality widens, surging, and the First Forged have to flee as lightning arcs wildly their way. The flash is so bright, it is impossible to see if any have been hit. The sky tears, audibly cracking across half the horizon. To anyone who happens to be glancing at the ground for some reason, rather than the giant rift in the sky: the shadows at the boundaries of the Haven grow darker despite the electric light in the sky, curls of inky darkness stretching out like living things across the ground. The void beyond the yawning, electric edges of the Lambda is becoming more visible: a dark nebula, cast further in shadow by a vast form.
And something
Is coming through
It seems small at first. A conical spear-tip piecing the between the void a million light-years away. But the tip continues to grow, wider; impossibly wide and tall, reaching down from the sky.
It is joined by a second, just as vast. Curved oppositely from each other, they are poised to grasp the world between them.
And between them both, still trapped behind the dubious safety of the lambda, is a vast maw, gaping and poised over the world.
The Chaos Bringer has come.
~
But not all is darkness and terror.
The light of Prima's tower flares in opposition; spires emerge as the entire thing shifts, sharp antennae transforming out of the sides. Lightning - normal lightning - cracks between them, building charge. The light at the top pulses, flaring up toward the stars.
The planet itself quakes in response, that charge running down from the tower into the crust below.
And one of those distant stars is getting very, very bright.
~~~
And at long last, the First Forged - battle-scarred and wary, and some smoking but alive - gather to contact the entire Haven over the Network. Staring morosely at the tear in the sky, Vector Prime is already speaking when the visual connects.
"-a worthy diversion. I am surprised it lasted as long as it did-"
Prima cuts him off with a gesture, stepping forward from the group to address the Haven directly.
"The time for diversions is past. Our one true foe has made his final bid for this world. He is the very reason for your arrival here - and for the glyphs that protect you from his influence.
Unicron the Devourer has come."
The words are solemn, but Megatronus quickly shoulders his brother aside, temper flaring and engines running hot with battle fervor.
"It is time to make a final stand. You will fight with us, or you can start praying to your gods for your final absolution. Because if we do not survive now, neither will you."
Solus holds up her hands as she steps to the forefront, cutting off an argument between the two before it can begin.
"We still need time, brothers. Fight him - delay his full emergence - we need time to activate the Core!"
With a baleful glance cast toward his brother, Prima nods, raising his blade to the sky.
"Very well - Marked! Rally your arms! Gather to your patrons! The time for battle is upon you all!"
~~~
[[The time for the final battle is at hand! Stand with your patron First Forged in their chosen fight and aid them with your gifts in a upcoming battle post - or stand alone, and face the coming darkness without aid!
Or just drink yourself into a stupor - the world is about to end, after all.]]

Sooo...yeeeah...preeetty sure I'm gonna need a lift back to Vector's place, if that's the plan.
Unless, y'know, you just want me to hang out here and throw rocks at ol' sunshine and rainbows when he shows up.
[Which he's totally willing to do, he just doubts the effectiveness of it. Then again, it was Solus' temple he was at, she probably had way cooler stuff than rocks to throw.]
[Video]
[It takes a moment, but eventually a portal pops into existence, right in front of Peter's path - the entrance to Vector's temple can be seen in the other side.]
I suggest you use the additional time to prepare. We will be rendezvousing below the Lambda soon enough.
[Video]
But the Forged were right. They were brought here to help with this. They've done too mush to fragging back down now. There's no questioning it. If they don't fight, they die and this Cybertron would die before it truly started
There's the sound of transformation as he brings one of canons online, and balls his other hand into a fist, looking determined.]
Just tell me where ya want me.

[video] YET. Hello there, buddy
[video] Yay!
[Video]
[Solus Prime nods at her Initiate, deeply pleased to see his quick response.]
As useful as you would be on the field in the heart of the battle, I will need you elsewhere. You and others of your ilk will be needed to assist me in the Core itself.

[Despite his confusion, Vector is pleased by his Initiate's quick response, inclining his head at the small 'bot.]
You and the rest of my Marked will be assisting in delaying Unicron himself - we will rendezvous shortly under the Lambda. Prepare while you can, and await the call.

Given the current situation, I can only hope you will get to experience that triumph one more time.

[On the one side, this gives him a chance to get back at this thing for messing up things in his world, on the other...well scrap, it's fraggin' Unicron.
Doesn't seem like backing out of things is an option, but since when has he ever done so?]
Ready as I'll ever be. Let's do this.
[Video]
[But Vector Prime still seems pleased with Hot Rod's willingness to assist.]
You and the rest of Prima's marked with be joining with my own, and we will rendezvous shortly under the Lambda to take the fight to Unicron.

[She was brought to this world after facing a god of destruction and so this feeling of doom is all too familiar to her. But that doesn't mean she is going to stand down.]
What do you need us to do?
[Video]
[Given that Rose is a recent convert to his own glyph, Vector Prime is is pleased to see her quick and willing response.]
Prepare while you can. We will be taking the fight to Unicron himself.

[So elegantly put Cindy!]

[Vector Prime's lip actually twitches at that one, though given the situation, it is hard to tell if it is in dark amusement or exasperation.]
If you are answering the call to fight as well, you and others with my Mark will be rendezvousing under the Lambda to aid in the attack upon Unicron himself.
[Video]
[Video]
[Video]
That Unicorn guy looks totes scarier in person!
[Yep, Ravage still think Unicron's name is Unicorn.]
[Video]
Oh yeah, 'Unicorn' is totally scary - scarier than a lot of people thought! Think you can help us out with him a bit, Ravage?
[Video]
[Video]
[Video] Threadjacking welcome
[It's one thing to speculate about Unicron but another to see him--it--tear violently through the sky. It's end of days unlike any he's seen before.]
Vector Prime, I hope you will still have me by your side!
[He realizes he left the Havens, same as the First Forged did. One might even say they've been estranged. But Wing never stopped being thankful for his other gifts granted by his First Forged.]
[Video]
[Though the oath earns him an odd side-glance, Vector still grants the mech a nod, proud to see the quick response in one of his own.]
I would be pleased to have your aid in the coming fight.

The only 'good news' that you will be getting will come from the battlefield.
When it comes to the Chaos Bringer, you win or you die. So get on the battlefield and stop wasting time!

[that's scary why is that :C]

Hardly cannon fodder. You face the same threat as we.
The chance for the survival of all increases with each individual who aids in the fight.

[No. No Alia's buster is not going to put a dent in that thing. Why does she have to be so short?]
Re: [Voice]
You are of Trion's ilk. His Marked will be with my own - you would be best suited for coordinating the fighters on the ground, or in some other fashion if you are not strong enough to face Unicron's minions head-on.
[Megatronus is as blunt as ever, but even he knows not everyone is most useful fighting.]
no subject
He gives a growl, wings on his back tense.]
What can I do to help?
[Video]
You and the rest of my Marked will be assisting in delaying Unicron himself - we will rendezvous under the Lambda. Prepare while you can, and await the call. The attack will begin shortly.
[Video]
So, when's the fun start?
[Video]
You and my other Marked will be joining with Trion's and Liege's to deal with the growing shadows surrounding the Haven, engaging the threat on the ground.
So the 'fun' starts as soon as you report to the Badlands.
