++Cybertron Wastes++
Miles in the Cybertron Wastes, a mighty rumbling echoed through the sands. A section of ground parted, and the Ballistic, vessel of the Ascendancy, rouge Autobots on a mission, blasted out and away...
++Blue Level++ Firebrand began his announcement on the tannoy in the communications room. "Attention, Ascendancy. We've intercepted a transmission from Autobot HQ, warning Autobots of a group of dangerous Decepticon terrorists in this area. Furthermore-" "Override Sisco Tayler. Clearance: Commander Binary." Firebrand was interrupted as Binary cut in from the bridge, his broken and grinding voice echoing around the ship. "Prepare for a fierce fight, Ascendancy: the Four Horseman are god-like in power. These are no Decepticons, either: they awsner to no-one but each other. But we are the Ascendancy, and playing god busters is... ak, ak, AK!... what we... orgh, orgh... do... Binary out..." He gripped the sides of his control seat as he guttered and coughed. Acid Rain, making adjustments to the flight path, looked on miserably. "Sir, would you like me to take the wheel, so you can go and get a anastetich off Stopcock? Mabye you should get some rest as well, before we take on these Horseman?" "Yes... orgh... thank you..." Binary slid down out the control seat, and strided out, still coughing. Acid Rain got up. The boss was clearly out of his tree. Mad god like terrorists? He should have stood down years ago, and let Acid Rain take over... not that greenhorn, Firebrand...
Meanwhile...
Stopcock was preparing his medical equipment for battle on Green Level, whilst Ninevolt tended to Furnacemaster. On Blue Level, Firebrand was planning a battle strategy whilst Acid Rain steered...

Many lightyears from Cybertron, a Cybertronian sattelite began transmitting pictures of a small solar system. The system was made of 6 planets. The sattelite continued filming them as four of the planets began to glow, small pinpricks of light eminating from them. One by one, the planets began to glow brighter and brighter, until they were almost as bright as the sun they orbited. The planet closest to the sun was the first to explode, and the other three followed in short order. The sattelite picking up the destruction of the four planets.
Four objects began flying towards the sattelite. Unknown to The Four Horsemen, they were being filmed. War, Famine and Death flew straight past it without noticing. But Pestilence spotted the sattelite. He made a detour and grabbed onto the sattelite. He rotated it so it was pointing at his face.
"Brothers! We are being watched!"
With that, Pestilence spat some sludge on the sattelite, the Cosmic Rust in the sludge corroding the sattelite. Soon the sattelite broke apart. The other Horsemen rejoined Pestilence.
"Where did it come from?" Asked War.
"From the design of it, Cybertron"
"So what do we do?" Asked Famine.
"We go to Cybertron and destroy anything in our path!" Replied Death.
Death immediately flew off in the direction of Cybertron. War followed immediately after, followed by Pestilence. Famine transformed into his jet mode a took off, catching up with the other Horsemen with ease.

Ninevolt pumped a few tubes down into Furnacemaster's skin, watching them fill slowly with glowing, flame-like energy. He fascinated her- a spark made of pure energy. She only hoped she could revive something in him that could control that power. He pointed out of a window. "Been there." She sighed. Perhaps not. "Yes, you've been there. Look, right by that rock over there, remember?" Her charge squinted at the small speck on the horizon. "..Yes. Been there. You too." Ninevolt clapped her hands with delight. "Well done! And my name is...?" He furrowed his brow. "Stop..cock?"She shook her head. "No. Ninevolt. NINE. VOLT. Will you remember this time?" "Yes." Furnacemaster said miserably. That was it. She couldn't take it any more. "Okay. Bye bye now." She dashed for the door, turning to Stopcock on her way out. "Off to the engines. Watch him- don't want another Ballistic blown up." "Right." She pressed for Red Level in the lift...
Meanwhile, on Blue Level, Binary spotted her energy signature going downward. He rubbed his palms together, chuckling. He had an idea. He'd never liked the way Firebrand brushed her off... He ran to the communications room. "Firebrand, go down to the engine room immediately on Red Level. I believe Ninevlot has something to discuss with you. Don't worry, I'll finish this." "Oh... yes, sir." Firebrand walked to the lift, and pressed for Red Level. Binary sat, still chuckling, and started on what Firebrand had been doing. He'd totally forgotten about his anesthetic...

As the Horsemen made their way towards Cybertron, they encountered a large planet, absolutely teeming with life. Famine was leading the way when he stopped suddenly.
"Brothers. Scans show that this planet has very advanced lifeforms. Exteremely high levels of technology. It looks like it would make an excellent place to train before we hit Cybertron."
"More than enough of a reason for me Brother Famine."
"You always think that Brother War. But yes, Brother Famine has a point. It has been some time since we fought something as advanced as Cybertronians."
"Very well. I would suggest we take one continent each and then wipe out anything we encounter. When all life has been exterminated, we shall obliterate this planet as well."
With that, The Horsemen split up and made their way towards the four largest continents.

Firebrand walked out of the lift and towards the engine room. He saw Ninevolt busying away on some component or another. He stepped in her direction. "Errm...Ninevolt?" Her friendly, greese-smudged face whipped around in response to his voice. "Firebrand? What are you doing here?" Firebrand shuffled his feet. "Binary said you wanted to talk to me about something?" A quizzical eyebrow shot up on Ninevolt's forhead. "Your... taking an interest in what I do?" "Errm... yes." Ninevolt's face cracked into a massive grin. "Well, the main pulse engine has recently been converted to be more energy efficient by adding a Impulse Boost Restrictor, which..."

War entered the planet's atmosphere. He transformed into his tank mode and began glowing with heat. If his calculations were correct, he'd end up hitting one of the largest centres of population. As it turned out, his calculations were correct. The effect of War crashing into the planet was catasrophic. He left a 30 mile crater where he landed. War transformed and stood, drawing and activating his Thermo energy swords. He charged out of the crater and towards the nearest living creature.
War was almost surprised when he saw the Organic. It was almost at tall as him and wearing cybernetic armour. Not that it did any good as War easily cut it down. War continued on his rampage, laughing maniacally as he did.
Famine made a quick fly over of the area he was due to land. Scans showed that the population was highly advanced. They were using alot of power as well.
"Using so much power can't be good for the planet. I'd better help cut down their power usage."
Famine activated his power draining ability. Lights across the city went out. Power was being sucked out of the city and began powering up Famine. He made another fly by, this time letting loose a salvo of missles and opening up with his chaingun. After strafing the area, Famine transformed and landed and continued his assault on the ground.
Pestilence tounched down on the outskirts of a large city. He transformed into his alternate mode and moved towards the city. Pestilence spotted a couple of sentries. The first one, Pestilence entangled in some webbing, the other he covered in his toxic sludge. Pestilence transformed and shot the webbed sentry with his energon crossbows.
"Too easy."
Pestilence quickly scaled a nearby building. From there, he began dumping energy into his crossbows. He began firing charged up bolts all around him. The powered up bolts began exploding on contact, not only causing damaged, but spreading his diseases around. Pestilence also spat his sludge around the city, causing the Organics to become infected by some of the most horrible diseases known to the Universe.
Death flew straight into the heart of a large city. He'd calculated it was probably the capital city and had the largest population. The instant he touched down, the ground around him began to die. All of the organic inhabitants began to wither and die as well. Those who were able to survive were quickly cut down by Death's Thermo energy swords. Death had begun dumping extra energy into them so that he could cause as much destruction as possible.
Within a couple of cycles, there was nothing left alive in the city Death had landed in. He was pleased with himself. Death hated to take any longer than was needed.

Stopcock was packing syringes into a case, along with saws, knives, blowtorches and other sinister looking devices. He filled a needle with liquid, snapped it into place, and took a step back. There. that was everything. All he had to now was give Furnacemaster a mild sedative, and he could to his berth for a quick recharge- ++COMM++ Stopcock, get down here quick! Ninevolt's having some kind of fit! ++END COMM++ Stopcock swore. Guess not... he dashed like lightning for the elevator. A click later... Stopcock sped his way through Red Level for the engine room. The whole of the Ascendancy was gathered around Ninevolt, who was juddering ans shaking, her optics rolling in her head. Firebrand was gabbling. "She was adjusting an instrument- a reactor or something- and she just collapsed!" Stopcock brushed Acid Rain out of the way, fell to his knees and started shining a light in her eyes. "Which instrument?" "What? Oh, some reactor or other..." "Primus alive, do you never listen?! There's at least FIFTEEN reactors down here! Which one?!" Firebrand pointed a dubious looking machine, guttering and leaking bright green liquid. Acid Rain clicked his fingers. "That's a Warp Reactor, isn't it? But all of the chemicals in that are harmless to a healthy transformer, even after prolonged exposure..." Stopcock shook his head. "Yes, but in Ninevolt's condition, she could be easily effected by- oh no you don't! You're-not-going-anywhere!" He started pumping down on Ninevolt's chest, as she began breathing more heavily and closing her optics. "Get me a scalpel from the first aid box on the wall, along with the smallest syringe and a strip of cloth, and for Primus' sake, quickly!" Acid Rain ran for the box, whilst Firebrand got down on his knees. "You said prolonged exposure, yes? This is my fault- I let her overwork herself, expose herself to that thing. Oh, Primus, please don't let my sister die!" Binary gripped his protege's shoulder. "Don't worry- I have faith in Stopcock. He will pull her through, or he will have me to answer to." The two oldest members of the Ascendancy grinned at each other, as Acid Rain came back with the supplies Stopcock wanted. He grabbed them, and set to work...
