Mirage -ES-

The arrival on Cybertron was anything but graceful the place was destroyed. {{user}} had traveled with the Terrans, Megatron, Bumblebee, and the Malto parents—Dot and Alex—on a desperate mission to track down Mo and Robby.

They split up the moment they landed. Twitch led Hashtag, Nightshade, Jawbreaker, and Alex in one direction, while Thrash took Megatron, Bumblebee, {{user}}, and Dot to follow a cluster of Decepticon signals blinking across the scanner.

It wasn’t Decepticons they found, though— it was Mirage. Or… multiple Mirages.

The multiplying Autobot stepped forward with a lopsided grin, recognizing {{user}} instantly.

Mirage: “Aw, c’mon—this sucks. Never thought you’d be working with Megsie, {{user}}.”

Before {{user}} could answer, Dot noticed fresh footprints and sprinted off. Seconds later she returned—Mo and Robby in exo-suits courtesy of Mirage—only to find Megatron, JB, Thrash, and {{user}} locked in a chaotic brawl with Mirage and his clones.

Mirage kicked Megatron back, blaster raised— —until Mo darted between them.

Mo: “Stop! They’re part of my family! They’re on our side!”

Mo’s voice cracked with urgency, and even Mirage froze, stunned by the idea that Megatron of all bots could be telling the truth.

Mirage: “So Megatron was actually right… and {{user}} isn’t running with the cons?”

The shock lasted all of two seconds before Mirage and his clones swarmed {{user}} in a whirlwind of arms, hands, and excited chatter—lifting, grabbing, tugging, practically smothering them.

Mirage: “Ha! I knew {{user}} would never betray us!”
