TMC 25-8

Megatron took the opportunity to grab two long blades of metal from the ground and used them as makeshift pincers. He grabbed Optimus by the neck with them and slammed Optimus into the ground repeatedly, causing all sorts of damage around him. Optimus then planted his feet onto the ground and put his arms around the metal. He snapped them, robbing Megatron of his reach, then he drew his axes. He rushed at Megatron and swung them into Megatron’s torso. They only caused some superficial damage, enough for Megatron to activate his mace and bash Optimus in the face. Optimus recovered in time to grab the mace’s chain and yank it away from Megatron. He then rushed at the Decepticon Lord…only to be reminded of his concealed swords in the most painful way possible, a slash from waist to upper torso when Optimus had both his arms out for a twin-strike. Megatron’s slash managed to make Optimus slump to his knees and fall face first on the ground. Megatron stood over Optimus’ body. It didn’t fade to gunmetal gray, nor did his optics fade. Megatron looked at Optimus’ current face and saw one of…defeat. “…No. …No! Oh, no! No! Nuh uh! This can’t be how our fight ends, Prime! For the years we’ve battled, it’s much too anticlimactic! I DEMAND SATISFACTION!”

“…I…wish I could…accommodate you…” replied Optimus. He then gave a small cough.

“Get up! I MUST destroy you properly!” Optimus then picked himself up.

“Don’t…COUNT ON IT!” His face became one of ferocity. Megatron grinned.

“Ah, yes! That’s more like it, Prime! But you have to admit, your Energon levels can’t be all that good!”

“I may be low on energy, but I still have enough to conquer you!” Optimus then slammed a fist into Megatron’s chest. Megatron scoffed.

“Come on, Optimus, you can do better than that!” Megatron swung his own fist, but Optimus caught it. They pushed against each other, then Optimus forced Megatron’s fingers open, locked his own fingers around his opponent’s, and threw him. Megatron was sent flying again and crashed into another building. Megatron ripped a steel pole out from the ground and jabbed it at Optimus. Optimus got out of the way in time, but Megatron kept twirling his makeshift bo and managed to slam it into Optimus’ head. Optimus was kept on the back foot as Megatron advanced. On Megatron’s downswing, Optimus leapt up and walked along the staff so he could kick Megatron in the head! Megatron shook his head as he dropped the staff. Optimus then reactivated one of his axes and swung wildly. Megatron…caught it by the blade. He grinned at his opponent as Optimus tried to bring the axe closer to Megatron’s shoulder. “You know, Shockwave was kind enough to record your last bout with Nemesis Prime after the Unicron Games. What was it you said to him before you threw him onto Korlonium Crystals? ‘I couldn’t have allowed this to end otherwise’?! He then grabbed the axe and buried it into Optimus’ side. Optimus howled in pain, then he gritted his teeth and took Megatron’s staff and buried it into Megatron’s abdomen! Megatron roared as the staff went through him. Such a wound wouldn’t kill a bot, but it WOULD incapacitate them for a good while until they were given first aid. Optimus then held Megatron above his head and bent him in a way that it exacerbated the pain Megatron felt, then he threw Megatron into one more building. Optimus was breathing rapidly as he stood there, then, after a few seconds, he fell to the ground and clutched where the axe still was in his body. It was taking all his willpower to not remove the axe as he didn’t want to make his internal Energon come gushing out. Megatron got his diagnostics report, then chuckled to himself. “Now THAT’S…the old Optimus…I used to know! …But the battle is over. I have…nothing left for you. You defeated me…fair and square!”

“No, Megatron…” replied Optimus, “I think we’ll have to call this one…a draw!”

“No…I’m mech enough to concede…defeat. …I yield.”

“You do realize that…by doing so…you’re gonna suffer…the consequences, right? I’m bound to have you…tried for treason.”

“Yeah, well…them’s the breaks. You…have to admit…we really went at it, huh? Throughout our careers, we’ve been…fairly evenly matched. …You know, I enjoyed every nano-second of it, Optimus!”

“Sorry, but I could never admit to enjoying the battle. However, it WAS a necessary evil to regain peace. Unfortunately, my dreams of never seeing war are gone forever. I only wish that the bots that come after us will eliminate the evils of war from the universe.”

“Hey, don’t leave the next generation of our allies out just yet! They’re gonna shoot for the same goal too!”

“…Yeah, knowing them, they will.” The two bots just sat there, waiting for their people to come home so they could formally end the war.
