Summary: The gates between worlds are starting to close, but that doesn't mean there's still not a lot going on in the Shattered Glass universe. Autobots and Decepticons on Cybertron have teamed up to stem the Junkion Invasion under Ultra Magnus, while the Autobots on Earth are hoarding energon cubes and building a Stellar spanner to return to Cybertron.

Manganese Mountains - Shattered Universe[]
- Silvery metallic spires of raw manganese thrust from the planet's surface. Lower areas have recently been strip-mined for materials, and several of the mountaintops have been blasted off entirely. It is said that the Temple of Knowledge is hidden within the unseen valleys, but no one has heard tales of anyone finding it for millions of years.
- SG-Valour
The VERY heroic Valour
- A bright yellow tetrajet with red detailing and a wide assortment of under-wing weapons. Its markings identify it as belonging to the heroic Decepticon air force.
SG-Windshear is leaning up against the base of one of the manganese mountains, smoking an enercig looking pissed off.
SG-Valour ventures into the mountains, transforming to land near the entrance to the hidden Temple of Knowledge.
SG-Windshear notices Valour transform and land near the entrance to the Temple of Knowledge. "Yea hes in there, Valour." The Zombie Seeker says suddenly.
Making his way through the area, SG-Plunder seems to be holding a map of some kind as he stumbles across two others. "Ho, there!" He waves a hand, "You chaps wouldn't happen to know where the Temple of Knowledge is?" He smiles broadly, "I have credits...and/or Energon?"
SG-Windshear frowns, "We clap for the temple of knowledge and you take credit for energon?" Windshear asks a bit confused.
SG-Valour jumps as he's spotted by the others. He whips out his sword and activates it, waves it in front of him as he turns to threaten both fellow Decepticons.
SG-Windshear looks back at Valour and flicks a wing, "Are you serious?" he asks looing at the sword.
Holding up his hands, "Woah there. No need for the violence?" SG-Plunder smiles. "I am here in peace..."
SG-Valour's optics are wide as he looks fearfully from one fellow con to the other.
SG-Windshear frowns again and looks back at the Sweep. "What?" hes not going to say what he thought the mech said. He never answered his other question so he doubts the sweep could explained how hes hulled in peas...
SG-Valour looks at Windshear. "You're a traitor!" He turns to the Sweep. "And YOU! The Sweeps are lost! How did you get here? Who are you really?"
SG-Valour looks ready to blow a gasket. He keeps his sword stiff-armed out in front of him as if to ward them both off.
SG-Windshear leans off the mountain and glares at Valour, "Im not such thing! And you know it! We were trying ot help the Decepticons NOT betray them. What have you done to help /our/ faction anyway, Valour?"
Pulling out two Energon filled Flasks, He offers them to his two new 'friends'. SG-Plunder smiles, "Sweeps aren't lost we are on...Earth. Lovely, Place...say have you heard of Robin Hood? Robs from the Rich...gives to the poor..." He offers the flasks again, with a winning smile. "I am Plunder. Traveler, Explorer, Privateer. Not a Pirate...despite the rumors."
SG-Valour says crisply, "I've, uh, been busy. Fighting Junkions. Like you do. I, uh, killed ten of them just this morning!"
SG-Windshear has his attention turned back to the sweep when he offeres energon. He takes a flask and grins, "Nice to meet you Robin Hood... strange name for a mech but so be it." he looks back at Valour, "You fought them like I do? Thats impressive, Valour."
"No thank you!" Valour says a little too loudly at Plunder. He glances fearfully at Windshear. "Yes! Like all Cons! I am a brave warrior. Why - what have you heard?"
SG-Valour is talking loudly, perhaps to compensate for Windshear's deafness.
SG-Windshear takes a hit off his flask of energon and looks at Valour. Nice when a mechs talks loud for a change. "All I know is you think Im a traitor and if you think *I* am that means you think Starscream is and if thats the case you and I are going to have words so to speak..."
"Ahh, Junkions...most foul creatures. I have had to, uh, navigate a few of those ruffians..." SG-Plunder shrugs again, "Look, you Seeker's look like you have business you want to discuss...If you just point me to the Temple of Knowledge, I'll get out of your processors." Plunder frowns at Valour as he slides the flask back up, "Oh! I have just the thing..." Plunder pulls out an Earth Book which he offers towards Valour. "This is Don Quixote, an Earth book. I think you might find it useful!" Plunder says chipperly.
SG-Windshear looks back at Plunder and then looks back at Valour as if waiting for a louder translation on what the Sweep who called himself Robin Hood really said jut now.
SG-Valour looks back at Windy. "Cyclonus sent me to see what you guys are up to!" He glances back at Plunder. "No thank you!" he repeats.
"Come on Kind Seeker!" Plunder pleads, "There must be something you need, that I can offer? As a gift of freedom?"
SG-Windshear's optics narrow. "So /you/ are the traitor then!"
SG-Valour frowns. "What? I'm no traitor! YOU're the traitor!"
"TRADER! I trade things!" Plunder smiles.
SG-Valour looks over at Plunder, obviously confused.
SG-Windshear startes at Valour, "Im not a trader -- he is." and he points to Robin Hood.
- GAME: SG-Valour FAILS an INTELLIGENCE roll of Average difficulty.
"So it is agreed! I shall trade you fine Trickets and Y'all let me into the Temple of Knowledge!" SG-Plunder smiles, "I just LOVE Seekers! Always so much fun, and smart, and funny!" Plunder sounds genuine.
"The... what?"
SG-Valour frowns, turning to hold his sword at Plunder.
SG-Windshear looks at Plunder, "Hes offering you his sword for passage into the Temple of Knowledge..."
Holding out his hands spread so he can grab the Sword, "Why thank you Sir..." Plunder looks at Windshear, "Uh, what are y'all names?"
SG-Valour pulls the sword back quickly. "Hey! Not for you!"
SG-Windshear flicks a wing, "Hes a scrapian giver too, forgot to warn you, Robin."
"Scrapian?" SG-Plunder looks confused.
SG-Valour pulls his sword close to him, holding it straight up, almost against his chest. "I am Valour," he says, trying to keep the squeak out of his voice.
Bowing, Plunder smiles at Valour, "A pleasure to meet you Sir Valour. I always love to meet a brave knight." Plunder raises a finger, "On Earth that is what they call brave warriors like you."
SG-Valour says crisply, "Is it true the Sweeps have turned against Lord Cyclonus?"
SG-Windshear looks at Plunder, "I will show you the way inside for free." he looks at Valour, "And Im not showing the way in because Cyclownus sent you, thats why."
"Turned?" Plunder shrugs, "Dunno...." His optics may indicate he is lying.
Wheeling to smile at SG-WIndshear. "FANTASTIC!"
SG-Windshear blinhks, "You dont have to yell..." >_>
"My mistake." Plunder bows in apology, holding out another flask for Windshear.
SG-Valour frowns.
SG-Windshear takes the other flask and looks at Valour, "What?"
SG-Valour says timidly, "You're both traitors, then? I'm not a traitor! Megatron left Cyclonus in charge! YOU're the traitor!"
"Traders! Traders! I barter things!" SG-Plunder offers with a smile. "Oh? Where is Cyclonus, I do have some business with him..."
SG-Windshear vents some air out of his intakes, "Seems to me that my brother has questions about Cyclonuses loyalties. And that is good enough for me. I figured youd put faith in Starscreams opinions over blindly following someone you really dont know, Valour."
"Starscream still functions? Most excellent, I should see him too..." Plunder states with a smile.
SG-Valour says timidly, "Cyclonus is back in Darkmount, and I follow whoever is in charge!"
"Oh come, come Sir Valour, a knight must also serve his conscience." Plunder smiles winningly.
Darkmount? Plunder has never heard of it. The Cons do have a tower of learning called Skymount, that has been militarised and used as Megatron's base before they left on the Nemesis...
SG-Windshear nods, "Yea my brother still functions, Robin." he looks back at Valour, "Then perhaps you should grow a spine strut and stand with your flier Commander for once."
SG-Valour says timidly, "I do not stand with traitors! Don't make me slay you all!"
SG-Valour's stance says, please, please don't make me.
SG-Windshear resists the urge to facepalm. "We are not traitors!!! And Id like to see you try to 'slay me'..."
"Sir Valour, please. I do not wish you to slay me." Plunder puts his hands on his chest. "But, I think we do not understand each other. But I believe we are destined to meet!" Plunder smiles warmly, "See, I am poor wayward Traveller, looking for a brave guide..." He gestures at Valour, "Please be my guide..."
SG-Valour frowns at Windshear. "If you turn against who Megatron left as Cybertron's regent, you are. And I could, you know. If pushed." He looks at Plunder. "Guide you?" He seems a bit lost at Plunder's means of expressing himself.
SG-Windshear turns to face Valour squarly, "Bring it, mech." he stats simply.
"Yes, guide!" Plunder smiles, tapping his badge. "I am a wayward soul in need of guidance..." He looks at Valour, "You look like you know your way around this planet and the powers in charge..." Holding a hand at Windshear, "Please, Kind Mech, Valour here is just doing his job."
SG-Valour lowers his sword. "Yeah, well..."
"I was the one who said Id show you the way in, Robin. Valour isnt allowed inside since Cyclownus sent him..." Windshear says bluntly.
SG-Valour frowns. "You don't need to be leading any more Decepticons astray." He looks at Plunder. "I can fill you in on what you've missed while you were gone. Has the Nemesis returned?"
Looking at Windshear smiling as he offers another flask, "Yes you did, sir. See I need to go to the Temple. Then I need to go to this...Darkstomp? Wait, Darkmount you said?" Plunder smiles, "I believe Devine Providence has sent me here, to mend fences so to speak..."
SG-Windshear snaps, I dont give Decepticons ashtrays fool."
He looks back at Plunder, "We have no fences that need mending. I thought you said you were a trador not a fence maker?"
Shruggin Plunder states, "I am a good fence builder...it is more of a hobby."
SG-Windshear takes the other flask.. yea now hes getting drunk... which is what Robin wanted I bet... >_>
SG-Valour looks at Plunder. "What do you need with the Temple? The traitors have been using it as a place to plot against us. They've teamed up with Autobots from another dimension!"
Coming from Valour, it all sounds a little ridiculus.
GASP! Plunder looks around, "I *NEVER*..." He looks around, "Is that true?" He may seem slightly nervous that Valour might have figured out why he is here.
SG-Windshear frowns looking from one ot the other. Hes only catching some words but is trying to make sense of it all.
SG-Valour points his sword at Windshear again. "It's true!" he accuses. "Tell 'im!"
"I'm reporting this to Lord Cyclonus at once!"
SG-Valour takes into the air, transforming and fleeing as quickly as possible.
>> SG-Valour retreats from the area, leaving himself open to SG-Windshear, and SG-Plunder. <<
"That went well." Plunder waves at Valour, not intending to shoot. He says with a smile.
