An end, a new beginning

[srwu_mods]

"This is it."

Time has passed after the Lady has fallen and Apollonius "Loni" Gavin was dealt with for the final time. It seems as if Earth became a peaceful place - possibly an illusion, as true peace is never permanent. Someone will always fight, or abuse others for personal gain. Even now, troublesome and worryig groups are somewhere out there, some outside Earth and some within human society. The rogue Zentradi, VIPER, greedy eminences who guided Fumerco and so many more...

And yet, dangers - the type that can be fought by an organisation like Unity Group, are for now over. Little by little Project Unification was nearing disbanding, and now it is truly over.


"Huffman left already, to deal with his 'research'. Looks like everyone's returning to their old pre-UG posts. I'll miss commanding a ragtag bunch instead of an actual military unit."


"A ragtag bunch that the media is mad about. Don't get swarmed by reporters or let that fame get to your heads. But then, I suppose you all are part of the group that saved the world."

"We'd never do that if Project Unification didn't work together. I won't forget that: I know many of our members are going back to civilian life, but if you want to transfer to one of ESUN's other units, there's a commendation waiting. And not just from me - Kazahara said he hopes he'll get to see some of you again. If he misbehaves just tell me... Is this still recording?"


"Of course it is. It always is."

...


"..."

All the time, Inspector Jou kept to himself. He is one of the last few to leave Sakihama Base.

"My millenia-old mission is over. Maybe now I'll be able to die in peace, without regrets."

"But for now, there's still life ahead of me. Ahead of everybody."

The story is over. But even if it's not being recorded, even if history's annals have nothing to say about it - life goes on.

Cybertronians

[tillallareone]

With the New Golden Age of Cybertron finally coming to fruition, its people celebrated and rebuilt - though not all of them returned home. Many chose to explore the universe and others settled down on Earth, starting businesses and working for its inhabitants without worry.

Grimlock and the Dinobots would eventually take up that movie offer - and become action stars in the process.

Kup and Ironhide continue to trade quips, now simply training law enforcement on Cybertron.

Blaster and Bumblebee remained on Earth to explore.

Wheeljack continued to invent, now concentrating on inventions that improve lives.

Cliffjumper went off into the far reaches of space to lock horns with the scum of the universe.

Ratchet opened up a low cost clinic - hiring doctors of various species and spent the rest of his time doing humanitarian work. Drift volunteered at the clinic as an aide, giving the medic some goodnatured annoyance.

Thundercracker wrote a cheesy TV Series. It wasn't great, but it wasn't all that bad either. Skywarp got a chance to act in it and became universally loved for his antics.

Cyclonus and Tailgate became archaeologists, seeking out the remnants of their Cybertron to share with the Universe.

Windblade remained on Earth to help nurture Metroplex, and appreciated the tranquility that the wilds of the planet had to offer.

The Constructicons initially worked as a low cost construction company... however during a sudden terrorist attack they formed Devastator to protect the city. They now work as superheroes. Something they're very much surprised by themselves.

Red Alert took a long deserved vacation, becoming a regular visitor to a Resort established by the now Gone-Legit Swindle. His endorsement of Club Con and defense of it when Ultra Magnus arrived to tear it open believing it to be a front for a black market ensured that Decepticons would indeed not have to return to a life of violence to survive.

Wanting to avoid the mistakes of the past, the Cybertronian Senate was restructured to ensure that equality would reign supreme - and that another Great War would never come into existence. Inspired by the Gebians and Earth Politics, a number of parties were formed and represented in the Senate to protect the interests of their members. Two becoming the most influential.

Formed in response to the possibility of a future energy crisis, one of these parties sought many means from increased trade rights with Earth, Geb and other worlds, to research into miniaturization to conserve energy. This planning for 'Maximal' conservation would soon lead to them earning their name as a party.

The second was formed by the last remaining Predacon- Rampage. Inspired by members of the Chinese Government and a number of former Decepticons, he and the Tripedacus Council cooperated with Soundwave and did their best to safeguard Decepticon rights throughout the Cybertronian sphere - starting with the Great Accord.

In both the distant future and the past however - Predacon Dissidents forged from deep cover fanatics would attempt to change the course of history - only to be stopped by a team of Maximals... and the heroic sacrifices of Ravage - who fought to maintain the peace Soundwave kept long after his passing - and a Cybertronian simply known as Dinobot.

Optimus Prime

[tillallareone]

As time passed on, Optimus felt a strange stirring in his spark... as if he was being called. Leaving the Matrix in the hands of the next generation, he strode forth into the depths of space.

In another time, another place he found himself battling against a mirror image of himself - Twisted and Tyrannical even beyond the scope of Megatron. Yet he was not alone. Carrying the memories of Earth, he fought alongside the Heroic Decepticons led by the humble mathematician Megatron.

No matter what - Optimus Prime would always fight for the Freedom of All Sentient Beings.

And in his place in his home universe, Hot Rod cautiously steps into his role as Rodimus Prime. Humbled by his many experiences and leaving behind his headstrong behavior to live up to the example of his predecessor.

Volya and Interitus (and co.)

[defies_fates_hand]

Volya continued his schooling. Though the years to come would be anything but normal, the presence of his friends and loved ones helped greatly. One day he would get that flower shop he always wanted. He still finds himself unable to stop from helping others when he can.

But where would Volya be without his partner Interitus? The friend who was by his side no matter what and more often than not dived headlong into danger with him? She often tagged along with him, to school and everywhere beyond. Regardless of her antics... Volya could not ask for a better person to hold his hand as they walked through life.

The Knights of the Guiding hand were not able to rebuild to their former glory. Despite that they pushed forward more determined than ever to do what was right and make up for their previous mistakes. The Revengers kept a close eye on them to ensure they never strayed.

Encouraged by Seraphina and Nathaniel, Percival hung up his sword for the time being to be a better father and hopefully... have a chance to be a better husband again.

The seeds the Black Garden left bloomed into beautiful flowers - eventually becoming a field of them. Volya, Interitus, David and Florian visited often to tend to them.

[not_a_prize]

Peola returned to Magnolys with her head held high. She would then find out much to her shock thar between her actions in the battle against the Lady - even though she was not present to fight her face to face - along with how things went with Ana that she had unsuspectedly pushed past her brother in the line of succession.

This time though... rather than turning away from her responsibilities she faced them head on. Intending to be the Queen her people needed her to be.

Ourania's bond with her sister recovered - the two becoming closer than ever. She however did not stop her mischief. Needless to say there were still many nobles checking their seats for spiders.

Salwah finally was able to join the Royal Guard, achieving her lifelong dream. She trained hard to ensure she would stay worthy of it.

Monika was brought into the palace as the royal musician. Nervous at first, her fingers plied her trade as they danced upon her harp, her voice artfully hitting every note... Monika would be known far and wide across Magnolys for her skills as a songstress.

Harunn, now no longer heir apparent had a cheerful grin on his face as he ran off to parts unknown with his most trusted soldier. Odds are they had eloped.

Cennetig and the Brotherhood took to the galaxy, seeking new 'siblings' to induct, honorable battles to fight and strong genes to add. It was slow going but they'll get somewhere.

Kliiment's family reentered the Royal Court... though not as influential as before. He and his mother continue to scheme to increase their influence.

Phannuhel spent much time hiding. He isn't sure when he can poke his head out again.

Unathi continued to rule until the day came for Peola to ascend the throne. Freed from his obligations as a monarch, he travelled to speak to his estranged wife to make peace with her. The pair disappeared for a while... but the ki master who Unathi had assigned to watch over the ferocious woman had said that when the pair left... they did so together. Smiling.

[in_over_his_head]

Calvin Eldred Edwards and his pet Polarion Raptor Brân lived a quiet and peaceful life...

For all of a month and a half.



As it turns out there ended up being a zombie outbreak in the city he settled down in. Apparently the Parasol Pharmaceutical Company turned out to be responsible for creating a bioweapon that made the undead run amok.

Turns out they were a shell corporation for NeoVIPER. Who'd have thought?

On the plus side for Calvin and his ice spewing bird at least these were science zombies rather than the Paranormal kind.

WARE KOSO CAAAAAT. WARE KOSO CAAAAT. BARAN DONYAN

[sang_av_helten]

Skald sadly accepted his fate, taking his leave and becoming a housecat to young woman. Said young woman turned out to be one very familiar Princess - Armana Tikvah.

The Scion of the Skogkatt line when not spending his days jumping onto the Princess' lap and being a purring ball of fluff would be at the shoulder of Baran Doban.

And of course Raleigh

[genericprotagonist]

With the PPDC gone, both Raleigh and Mako became instructors for military personnel - instilling camaraderie and trust among their trainees and encouraging them to craft a bond as strong as any Ranger Team's.

However as it turned out the creators of the Kaiju would attempt to make another go at Earth - this time with their monstrosities melded together with what was unmistakably their attempt at reproducing Jaeger technology.

But the lessons learned had led to swift responses. And it wasn't long before Gipsy Danger 2.0 walked the seas alongside a new generation of Jaegers - working in concert with numerous other mecha to drive the invaders back.
