TMC 16-5

Unicron was still trying to process what just happened. “Bu…bu wuh…” he stammered. He finally got coherent words out as his face contorted in fury. “But we’re not finished! I’M not finished! This isn’t a victory! This is…I don’t even know WHAT this is!”

“No, it’s totally a victory!” assured Sonic. “Because we’re giving up! You won this round!”

“EVERY WORD YOU JUST SAID HAS MADE ME VIOLENTLY ANGRY!” Shadow and Unicron shouted in unison. They then realized what happened. “OH GREAT! NOW I’M AGREEING WITH THAT A**HOLE! AND REPEATING EVERYTHING HE SAYS IN UNISON, BY THE LOOK OF IT! LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!”

“Unicron,” replied Tails, “you know what this was; just a fight, nothing more.”

“You insignificant carbon-based parasites!” hissed Unicron. “If you idiots seriously concede, I’ll…I’ll just blow Mobius up right here and now! So, unless you want me to turn this into an asteroid field, Prince Sonic Maurice Olgilvie Hedgehog, GET BACK IN THE RING AND PUNCH ME IN MY JAWLINE!”

“Hold up there, Unicron!” called Knuckles. “This is a tournament, remember? There’s still a team for you to fight. Optimus and his team still want a crack at you, so you’ll have to fight them before you destroy Mobius.”

“Oh? …Oh…Ooooooohhhh! Oh ho ho ho ho ho! I see!” Unicron was grinning madly now! “Your round was a PRANK! Sweet me, I honestly never figured either of you three for a prankster in this kind of situation, but, you spawns of glitches, you got me! I must admit, you guys fought so well, I almost forgot who REALLY had the Matrix here! So, to that, I say congratulations, you fight as well as a Prime! All right, Optimus, like Knuckles said, your team’s up! Who have you got to assist you? Your best friend? No, it couldn’t be! He’d just moon-walk all around the arena, making it too easy for me! The cop bot? Hardly, he’d just drone on about how the arena isn’t up to code! Ooh, could it be Yoketron? Please tell me it’s Yoketron!”

“Nope!” answered Optimus. “The teammates I selected, the ones who’ll help me destroy you and get you off this planet (since Chip was long drained of his powers as Light Gaia and getting you off would actually help Gaia be the sole guardian of light and dark on this planet), the ones who’ll end your reign of terror are…Bumblebee and Megatron!”

“…The small-fry, I can somewhat understand…”

“DON’T CALL ME SMALL!” shouted Bumblebee as Optimus nonchalantly held him back. “I’LL BREAK DOWN YOUR FEET AND STICK ‘EM ON YOUR HEAD!”

“…but, MEGATRON?! Out of every single Transformer against me, every single FIGHTER against me, you pick MEGATRON?! I didn’t even consider him! I considered EGGMAN!”

“Wait, me?!” yelped Eggman from the stands. “Why was I…?!”

“Half-time entertainment!” Unicron sliced his finger across his neck.

“…You know, frankly, I’m just happy to be included at this point.” Eggman sat back down. Team Prime then entered the ring.

“Just want to make sure, you said weapons were okay?” asked Optimus.

“…Yes, why else would I have fired on Team Sonic?” replied Unicron.

“Just checking. Now, let’s hear that starting bell!” Unicron rolled his optics, nodded to the guy running the bell, then the guy rang it and the round started with Megatron pulling out a large laser rifle and firing on Unicron. The shot pierced Unicron’s shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain. As he collapsed to the ground, his mind replayed what happened, right up to him crying out in pain.

“…Impossible!” he gasped as he clutched his shoulder. “How could…I mean, even if it WERE the real Requiem Blaster, only a Prime could use it and cause pain!”

“Oh, it’s the real deal, all right!” chuckled Megatron. “Optimus simply created a connection to the Matrix so I could use it!” Unicron fired a blast of energy, only for Bumblebee to intercept it and bat it away with the Skyboom Shield.

“Same for this thing,” he explained.

“And me, well, since I have the Matrix,” remarked Optimus as he drew the Star Saber, “I don’t need such a connection!” He slashed the air and created an energy wave that knocked Unicron to the ground. He didn’t get up for a while. “…Up!” hissed Optimus. “This fight ain’t over!”

“…Optimus!” growled Unicron as he got up. “…Optimus! …OOOOPTIIIIIIIIIMUUUUUUUUUUS!” Unicron flung energy spheres at Optimus, forcing him to use the Star Saber to bat them away. “OOOOPTIIIIIIIIIMUUUUUUUUUUS!”

“And now he’s devolved into saying a single word!” grunted Megatron. The team continued their attacks, making Unicron madder!

“I think he’s sufficiently insane enough!” called Optimus. They all jumped out of the ring. “NOW, TAILS!” Tails pulled out a device and pressed a button on it. A purple energy sphere then surrounded Unicron!

“Wha…Shadow, what am I seeing?!” asked Scarlet Garcia.

“Wait, zoom in on the posts!” Shadow ordered the cameramen. The cameras then focused on the post surrounding the ring and the answer was made clear. There were devices creating the energy sphere! “So THAT’S why Tails was staying near them!” realized Shadow.

“He’s a genius!” breathed Scarlet Garcia.

“On that, I couldn’t agree more!” Unicron then fired energy blasts at his current cage.

“Guys, it can’t take much more of this!” warned Tails.

“Then now’s the time!” declared Optimus. Megatron extended the Requiem Blaster’s barrel and unfolded a tripod stand from under the gun. Bumblebee pulled the Skyboom Shield apart to reveal a mechanism that would slot into the Requiem Blaster’s new space. He put it onto the Blaster and folded the sides down. Optimus then laid the Star Saber between the Shield halves with the tip facing the end of the Blaster’s barrel. He then took the Matrix out of his chest and pulled on its handles. “Now, light our darkest hour!” he prayed as the Matrix opened. Blue energy enveloped the combined weapons and Optimus set the open Matrix into the Star Saber’s hilt before folding the handle down. “HYDRA CANNON, FIRE!” he commanded as he pulled the trigger. A brilliant stream of blue light then erupted from the weapon, sailing through the barrier and striking Unicron! His body was then flooded with Matrix energy, and he thrashed around in pain!

“LOOK!” called Tails as he pointed to the arena. The energy was now coming out of cracks in Unicron’s body! His leg then blew apart as he thrashed around! The energy then broke through one of his optics! His body then buckled and expanded as the energy continued looking for release.

“Destiny!” he gasped. “You cannot…destroy…my…DESTINIIIIIIYYYYYY!” His body then exploded, the shrapnel and limbs flying out of the energy cage, leaving only a purple energy ball with an angry face roaring in fury! The cage then glowed brighter and enveloped the whole arena in light! The light soon died, and the roar the explosion caused had faded. Everyone then checked each other over and looked at the arena. It was nothing more than rubble.

“…Shockwave, energy tracing!” Megatron ordered over the radio.

“All Anti-spark readings have ceased on Mobius,” reported Shockwave. “Unicron, despite the overwhelming advantages he had, is no longer on Mobius. He’s nowhere in the solar system. Lord Megatron, we are victorious.”

“…Best news ever!” praised Megatron.

“CAMERAS! GIVE AN INSTANT REPLAY OF UNICRON’S DEFEAT!” cheered Scarlet Garcia as the crowd roared in triumph.
