October has come once again, my friends. You can feel the chill in your bones. The horrors of humanity stalk the earth in search of what they themselves can never claim. Hold tight to your sanity as the monsters reveal themselves, be they Godzilla-sized or from under that cozy, warm bed of yours. Watch your back on the streets as they prowl for something very, very sweet! …That, and make sure you can actually see said monsters when they\u2019re running around, ringing doorbells to get some candy from random strangers at the end of the month. Halloween is coming, my friends, and in the future, it\u2019s a very fun day! In our planet\u2019s future, during the Mobian era, the Autobots and their organic compatriots were getting their Halloween on to make up for last year. This time, they were dressing up. Amy was dressed as a bloody bride and had convinced Sonic to be her bloody groom. Rouge was in a slinky red dress, had put red feathers around her wings, wore a white feather boa, and had a pair of devil horns and a fluffy, red halo, making her a devil and angel hybrid. Shadow had a suit of black knight\u2019s armor on and a spiky black crown with red jewels at the tip, making him an evil king. E123-Omega dressed as a rather bulky Metal Sonic. Cream was a cute little witch. Jazz had managed to get some Michael Jackson clothes in his size. Ratchet took the whole Mad Scientist thing and made himself into a patchwork Mad Scientist. Ironhide was a demonic cowboy. Bumblebee dressed as the Joker and Cliffjumper was the Riddler. Optimus had sharpened his dental plates, got a black and red paintjob, and a black cape for a bot his size. They were all ready for some October fun at G.U.N. Just then, someone knocked on the door. \u201cI\u2019ll get it,\u201d called Amy. She opened the door and let Knuckles and Tails in. Tails had dressed up as a well-dressed ghoul and Knuckles was a mummy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHi, everybody!\u201d greeted Tails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGhastly greetings, my friends!\u201d cheered Optimus as he swished his cape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd to you, Prime! Ready to roll out?\u201d asked Knuckles. He then looked around the room. \u201cHey, where\u2019s Prowl? I thought we were all meeting before we headed to G.U.N.\u2019s party.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe sure is taking his sweet time!\u201d hissed Bumblebee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExcuse me for a klik,\u201d bid Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMind if I tag along?\u201d asked Amy. \u201cI haven\u2019t seen his costume yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSure,\u201d replied Optimus They headed to Prowl\u2019s quarters and knocked on the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCome in,\u201d answered Prowl\u2019s voice. The door opened to reveal Prowl at a mirror, dressed in the standard Deadpool outfit, and fiddling with the accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cProwl!\u201d yelped Amy. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to go any second now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m having problems!\u201d replied Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay, either you\u2019re getting into character,\u201d chuckled Optimus, \u201cor you really are procrastinating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA policebot does NOT procrastinate!\u201d protested Prowl. \u201cThis is a tactical delay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll you have to do,\u201d reminded Optimus, \u201cis make some small talk for about an hour. I\u2019m the one who has to make a speech commemorating our 1-year anniversary on this planet!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t enjoy social events!\u201d admitted Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s standard fare for an Autobot,\u201d replied Optimus and he made the adjustments to Prowl\u2019s accessories. \u201cThere.\u201d Prowl stopped fussing as he realized he was beaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t see the point in these ridiculous outfits,\u201d he muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all in good fun,\u201d answered Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOptimus\u2019 cape makes him look like he\u2019s wearing a dress,\u201d hissed Prowl. He ignored Amy\u2019s icy gaze but didn\u2019t escape a rebuke from Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat was an incredibly sexist and outmoded comment!\u201d he rebuked. \u201cI\u2019m surprised at you!\u201d He turned to the door, but before he left, he said, \u201cBesides, you\u2019re just jealous that I can pull off a dress.\u201d Amy grinned as Prowl turned to glare at Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNeed any cooling packs for that burn?\u201d she snarked. Prowl rolled his optics and put the mask on, following Optimus and Amy out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDeadpool?\u201d asked Bumblebee when he saw Prowl. \u201cStraight-laced Prowl\u2026picked the craziest guy\u2026in all fictional history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s Halloween,\u201d replied Optimus. \u201cHe can dress how he wants, even as a Disney Princess.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not gonna let my comment about your cape go, are you?\u201d sighed Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat did he say about the cape?\u201d asked Shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s already got an earful,\u201d answered Optimus. \u201cBesides, that conversation took place in Prowl\u2019s quarters. As such, we\u2019re gonna drop it. Teletraan, the Ground Bridge to G.U.N. HQ, if you please.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, Master!\u201d slurred Teletraan, his avatar in full Igor gear. He then pulled a huge switch on the screen to open the Ground Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGoing as Igor, I see,\u201d chuckled Tails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s pronounced \u2018Eye-gor\u2019,\u201d corrected Teletraan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2026thought everyone calls that guy\u2026Igor,\u201d stumbled Tails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, they were wrong then, weren\u2019t they?\u201d asked Teletraan. \u201cSee you guys there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow?\u201d quizzed Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe set up a link for Teletraan 1 to access G.U.N.\u2019s main computer network,\u201d rasped Shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHuh,\u201d muttered Sonic. \u201cKind of creepy, if you ask me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet\u2019s just roll out before things get weird,\u201d suggested Ironhide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAgreed,\u201d replied Optimus. They went through the Ground Bridge and arrived at the main building. \u201cHappy Halloween!\u201d greeted Optimus. The guests\u2019 reactions were\u2026puzzling to say the least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPrime?\u201d muttered a red female cobra in Egyptian Pharaoh clothes. \u201cDidn\u2019t you already arrive a few minutes ago?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d quizzed the now confused Autobot leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou mean just now, right?\u201d asked Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo,\u201d answered the cobra, \u201cI meant what I said. You went to Storage Barn 19.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe place with the explosives?\u201d inquired Optimus. \u201cWhat would I be doing there?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou tell us,\u201d replied Commander Tower as he was made up like a zombie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSir,\u201d called a male kangaroo, dressed as the Demoman from Team Fortress 2, \u201cmovement\u2019s been detected on a course with the Command Center. It bears Optimus\u2019 Spark signature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut I\u2019m right here!\u201d yelped Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on here?!\u201d called Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m gonna meet this guy,\u201d declared Optimus, \u201cand give him a little scare.\u201d He then brought his cape up to his face. \u201cWait here, my children of the night.\u201d He then walked outside, laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think watching him would be a very good idea,\u201d suggested Tails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCorporal Lansworth,\u201d called Tower to the cobra, \u201cput him on the main screen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, Sir!\u201d obliged Lansworth as she brought up the feed. Optimus, in the meantime, had managed to run into his doppelganger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVelcome, my child!\u201d he said, in a horribly exaggerated German accent. \u201cAre you, perhaps, looking for a place to stay? I can assure you zat a military base is not my first choice, especially vun zat has many spooks and\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWill you just shut up, Floptimus Prime?!\u201d snapped the other Optimus. \u201cBy Anarchy, even back in my universe, you love the sound of your own voice!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cErm\u2026okay\u2026confused,\u201d mumbled Optimus. \u201cAren\u2019t you my double?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHardly,\u201d dismiss the other Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho else could you be?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy, you don\u2019t know?\u201d chuckled the evil Optimus. \u201cIt\u2019s me, Miles Prower!\u201d Optimus\u2019 optics went wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTails?!\u201d he yelped. \u201cBut he\u2019s\u2026!\u201d That was all he got out before \u201cMiles Prower\u201d decked him and rendered him unconscious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOooogh!\u201d groaned Optimus. He then noticed he was in Storage Barn 19, bound to the ceiling by his feet. \u201cAll right, who\u2019s trying to do the Wampa scene from Empire Strikes Back<\/em>? We all know how this is going to end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, goody,\u201d sneered a voice, \u201cyou\u2019re online. That means I have to listen to you talk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, hi evil me!\u201d called Optimus. Then, for the third time that night, confusion crossed his face. \u201cI\u2019m probably still dizzy from the punch, but I think you said you were Tails.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMiles Prower, yes,\u201d replied Evil Optimus. He then looked at a mirrored sheet of metal. \u201cHm, this color scheme doesn\u2019t suit me at all.\u201d He then snapped his fingers and purple slowly oozed over the red chassis, black flowed over the blue helmet, the optics faded from blue to red, and the red Autobot symbol on his shoulder turned purple as well. \u201cMuch better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGotta say, Tails,\u201d remarked Optimus, \u201clooks like you put on a few pounds\u2026and became more\u2026metaly\u2026is that even a word?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMiles\u2026Prower!\u201d hissed Evil Optimus. \u201cAnd if it\u2019s proof you want, it\u2019s proof you shall have!\u201d Evil Optimus turned to face Optimus completely. A hissing sound escaped Evil Optimus\u2019 torso, like air escaping pipes. That\u2019s when the vehicle mode canopy lifted up and chest panels opened outwards like doors to reveal the inner workings. What Optimus saw disturbed him for the rest of his natural life. Instead of a Spark chamber with the Matrix of Leadership glowing whitish blue behind it, a young fox kit was grafted into the torso, showing only the head and shoulders, with the Matrix\u2019s crystal glowing an ominous purple. The fox looked a lot like Tails, but it had pale yellow fur, icy blue eyes, burning with ambition, and a greyish black, greaser hairstyle. The robot face went neutral and the optics faded to black as the fox gave an evil grin. To say that Optimus was disgusted would be an understatement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPrimus!\u201d he gulped as he held back his Energon. \u201cIt looks like you skinned me and made a suit out of me! What possessed you to do that?! Where are you from that that\u2019s okay?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGlad you asked,\u201d replied the Tails lookalike. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to recount this thrilling tale. To answer your last question first, I come from a parallel world. You might call it \u2018opposite land\u2019. In my home universe, my Sonic, though he called himself Scourge, had effectively conquered my Mobius, \u2018Moebius\u2019, as it\u2019s called. That reign was brief as Scourge was brought to a multiversal jail by Sonic. Through my puppet, Alicia Acorn, I had taken over in Scourge\u2019s stead. Somehow, Scourge broke out and returned home to try and wrest power from my grasp. It was then that my universe\u2019s Jazz had landed on Moebius. Unlike you, my universe\u2019s Cybertron was in a 4-million-year peace between the planet\u2019s two major factions, the ambitious Autonomous Robotic organisms, and the intellectually minded Deceptive Constructs. The Autobots were simply trying to expand Cybertronian reach, but the Decepticons wanted no part of it. They believe that the ends must only be justified by diplomatic means. Weaklings, all of them! They turn their heads from the truth! Power is all that matters! The end results always justify the means of achieving said results! If there are idiots to stand in your way, brush them aside like meddlesome fleas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, in your universe,\u201d simplified Optimus, \u201cthe Decepticons are liars because they seek peace? How is peace a lie?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBecause those that seek peace are simply burying their head in the sand so they can\u2019t see the truth!\u201d snarled Miles. \u201cConquest and Power are what shape civilizations!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI must disagree,\u201d remarked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBah!\u201d dismissed Miles. \u201cAt least, before his Ember was snuffed out, my universe\u2019s Optimus had ambitions that reached to the ends of my universe! Anyway, I digress. The peace between the Autobots and Decepticons was chafing to Optimus, so he sent Jazz to scout out a potential planet he could convert into his stronghold. Once Jazz caught sight of us, he said that the planet will be easy pickings. That\u2019s when Optimus gathered more troops. Prowl, Ratchet, Ironhide, Bumblebee, and Cliffjumper, they all accompanied Optimus, thus their campaign began. My \u2018friends\u2019 and I were the last line of defense. It was a tough battle, but, bravely, I faced the Autobots.\u201d Liar, he was running scared. \u201cI lured them deep into our fortress,\u201d another lie, he didn\u2019t know where he was going in his panic, \u201cinto a secret chamber with something I had hoped would be there,\u201d half-truth, he hoped he would find that something, but he didn\u2019t know it would be there, he just tripped over the something which proved to be, \u201ca weapon capable of piercing Cybertronian steel. In fact, it pierced this body that I now control. The Autobots couldn\u2019t believe that such a weapon exists and so, they fled. In the chaos that followed, Scourge had written me off as dead. His error, my gain. With the ruins of our last fortress all to myself, I had dissected this body and discovered genetic code woven into the metal. I then came up with a theory. If an organic had been grafted into the Transformer, it would gain the power of said Transformer. I set to work grafting myself into the slain Optimus and gained not only control of his body, but it also gave me some of his memories and his connection to the Grid of Domination, the opposite of your Matrix of Leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf that\u2019s true, you must have gained our weaknesses as well,\u201d guessed Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, like all other Transformers,\u201d sighed Miles, \u201cI short out after continued exposure to excessive amounts of Energon radiation. In any case, once I had completed all final checks, I visited the Autobots, showed them who was boss, and led an assault on my former comrades. None survived, even the mighty Scourge the Hedgehog became a bloody grease spot under my heel. The Autobots were about to rejoice that the planet would be theirs, until I set them straight. They wanted to conquer the universe in the long run, an ambitious goal, but then I revealed to them that one universe is too small in the grand scheme of things. I told them of my previous exploits in this universe and said to them \u2018Why rule just one universe when the multiverse is our playground?\u2019 Some were slow in the head, but soon they caught on. And with that proclamation, I made myself the very nemesis of the multiverse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, what should I call you?\u201d asked Optimus. \u201cNemesis Prime?\u201d The chest panels and vehicle mode canopy slid back into place as Miles snarled. The lights in the optics turned back on and the newly christened Nemesis Prime started roaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBE QUIET, YOU INSUBORDINATE PIECE OF MALFUNCTIONING GARBAGE!\u201d he shouted. \u201cEVERY TIME YOU OPEN YOUR MAW, IT SOUNDS LIKE A CAT IS DYING! HOW ANYONE CAN BEAR TO FOLLOW YOUR SHRIEKING, MEWLING NONSENSE IS BEYOND EVEN MY SUPERIOR COMPREHENSION!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, please, go on, tell me how you really feel,\u201d joked Optimus. Nemesis then grabbed him by the throat and started squeezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat I feel,\u201d he growled, \u201cis nothing but rage every time I look at you! I want to cut that chest of yours open, just to hear you scream as I dissect you to see how similar you are to this frame!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhy don\u2019t\u2026you just\u2026do it?!\u201d choked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, I shall,\u201d replied Nemesis. He then released Optimus\u2019 neck. \u201cNot yet, though. We still have some unfinished business.\u201d Optimus stared at Nemesis for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGo shove an electromagnet up your exhaust port,\u201d he hissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI never said that you had to cooperate,\u201d chuckled Nemesis. \u201cYou see, even with my newfound perspective of life, there is still something I cannot understand, nor combat against, magic. I\u2019ve learned how to access the axe, but I can\u2019t find the access port to the part of my subspace pocket that holds the gun. Which access port is it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLike I said,\u201d remarked Optimus, \u201celectromagnet. Up the aft. They\u2019re magic pockets; you\u2019ll get it when you need it.\u201d He then grinned. \u201cI loved that game when I was 42 in human years!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen it looks like I have to do this the old fashioned way,\u201d sighed Nemesis as he opened a panel on the back of his wrist. He then took a cord out and plugged it into Optimus\u2019 forehead. A brief spasm of pain jolted through Optimus. \u201cI\u2019ve manually entered your memory core,\u201d explained Nemesis. \u201cI\u2019ve already seen the file I needed and now I need to compare it with this frame\u2019s memories. They fragmented when he went offline. Accessing subspace port 1.\u201d He put his hand into the subspace pocket. \u201cNegative results. Accessing subspace port 2. Negative results. Accessing subspace port 3.\u201d Optimus felt he was going to be there for a while, so he called up his internal video library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAccessing subspace port 107. Negative results,\u201d hissed Nemesis. He then whirled to Optimus. \u201cWill you turn that infernal thing down?! I can\u2019t even understand what they\u2019re saying!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGet Rosetta Stone,\u201d remarked Optimus as he mentally paused the video he was watching. \u201cYou\u2019ll learn Japanese in a flash.\u201d He was watching Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger<\/em>, which was adapted to be Power Rangers: Dino Charge<\/em> and Power Rangers: Dino Super Charge<\/em>. He was on the episode where the ninth member of the Kyoryugers had revealed himself. He resumed playing the episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWatch out!\u201d warned the Red Kyoryuger, Daigo Kiryu, to the old man, Doctor Ulshade, up on the roof of a building. \u201cRun away, Doctor!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRun?\u201d asked Doctor Ulshade. He then chuckled. \u201cYou should say that to the enemy, Daigocchi!\u201d He then flexed his, admittedly, impressive muscles. The rest of the Kyoryugers gawked under their helmets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo way!\u201d breathed the Blue Kyoryuger, Nobuharu Udo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet me show you,\u201d called Doctor Ulshade as he gripped his dinosaur themed gun, the Gaburevolver, \u201cmy magnificent transformation!\u201d He then took out a purple battery with the number 9 on it and a white image of a Plesiosaur. \u201cBrave in!\u201d he said as he pressed a button on the battery, turning the dinosaur image from white to purple. He then put the battery into the gun and put his left hand on top, shouting \u201cGABURINCHO! PLEZUON!\u201d Then he pressed down on the gun, making the teeth on the side come together. The gun then repeated what the doctor said. He then pointed the gun into the air, near his head, with the chamber facing out. \u201cKyoryu Change!\u201d he announced as he spun the chamber. Samba music then started playing as he danced for a bit, then he spun on his feet, pointed the gun into the air and shouted \u201cFIRE!\u201d When he pulled the trigger, a holographic, robotic, purple plesiosaur head came out of the gun and flew around the doctor before chomping on him to form his suit and chomping on his head to form the helmet. The rest of the Sentai gawked and oohed and aahed at the change. The new purple Kyoryuger then jumped down from the building and landed on his feet. \u201cThe seas of Earth are my seas!\u201d declared the doctor. \u201cThe seas of space are also my seas! The Oceanic Brave! KYORYU…,\u201d the backdrop then fell behind him. \u201cHuh? Crap.\u201d He then recovered and finished. \u201cVIOLET!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAha!\u201d cheered Nemesis Prime. Optimus then paused the video again. \u201cSubspace port 123! Positive results!\u201d Nemesis Prime then fished out the gun he was looking for. He disconnected from Optimus. \u201cNow,\u201d he chuckled as he leveled the gun, \u201cI have no further need of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJust wait a sec,\u201d called Optimus. \u201cMind if I tell you something?\u201d Nemesis smirked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhy not?\u201d he chuckled. \u201cGo ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNext time you wanna tie someone up,\u201d suggested Optimus as he pulled out his own gun, \u201ctie up more than their feet.\u201d He then shot at the restraints and he came crashing to the floor. \u201cOw,\u201d he winced before picking himself up. Nemesis just smirked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t dare shoot in here,\u201d he boasted. \u201cIt might cause an explosion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re right,\u201d replied Optimus. \u201cHowever,\u201d he then got Nemesis in a bear hug and pointed his gun at the ceiling, \u201cI\u2019ve no qualms taking this outside.\u201d He fired at the ceiling. \u201cPrime jets, ON!\u201d he announced. They launched into the air and Optimus threw Nemesis into the ground. Optimus then shook his rear at Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWill you stop messing around like you\u2019re some masked hero?!\u201d snapped Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFunny you should mention \u2018Masked Hero\u2019,\u201d called a voice. Both Primes turned to see Jazz grooving his way up. He had something in his right hand. It was grey, had four slots with a monitor in the middle, red tab switches on the outside of the slots, and a handle on the right side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJazz!\u201d cheered Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh sweet Anarchy!\u201d hissed Nemesis. \u201cThe Jazz of this universe is from \u2018da hood\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWow, stereotyping much?\u201d muttered Jazz. \u201cI just thought the \u2018black\u2019 voice sounded cool. In any case,\u201d he held the device up, \u201cit\u2019s time to give the Fourze Driver a try.\u201d He then took out small devices and put them into the four slots. The Driver announced them as they were inserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cChain Array, Beat, Gatling, Shield,\u201d it announced. Jazz then put it on the front of his waist, letting it attach to him, and flicked the little red switches. The monitor showed a humanoid image with a shuttle themed helmet. The Driver started counting. \u201cThree,\u201d it called as Jazz gripped the handle. \u201cTwo,\u201d it declared as Jazz got his feet in a ready stance. \u201cOne!\u201d it counted as Jazz crossed his left arm in front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHenshin!\u201d he announced. He then pulled the handle and then thrust his right hand into the air as his helmet changed from his usual Praxian style to a shuttle themed one with glowing, orange insect eyes. \u201cUch\u016b KITAAAA!\u201d shouted Jazz under the helmet as he thrust his arms into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTranslation:\u201d replied Optimus, \u201cSpace is here! And \u2018henshin\u2019 means \u2018transform\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTHE HELL?!\u201d yelped Nemesis as his view on logic was thrown out the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJazz is a huge fan of the Kamen Rider<\/em> franchise,\u201d explained Optimus, \u201cand I\u2019m a fan of Super Sentai. On his 124th Forge Day, that\u2019s about 148.12 in Mobius years, I gave him a little gift; a magically altered toy Fourze Driver. I used a spell to let the representation of the object become the actual object.\u201d Nemesis just glared. \u201cYou said you wanted to see magic, well, Jazz is wearing something that\u2019s magically charged.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd now,\u201d cheered Jazz, \u201cI\u2019m playing Kamen Rider Fourze. Let\u2019s do this Mech to Mech!\u201d He then flicked the Beat Switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBeat on!\u201d announced the Driver. A red set of speakers appeared around his right leg. Jazz then started dancing and singing to Michael Jackson\u2019s Bad. As his foot hit the ground, the speakers produced sonic waves that were deafening. Nemesis held his hands to his ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter? Only like medieval music?\u201d taunted Jazz. \u201cFine, we\u2019ll go with shield and mace.\u201d Jazz switched Beat off and turned on Chain Array and Shield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cChain Array, on! Shield, on!\u201d called the driver. Jazz swung the ball and it struck Nemesis right in the chest. He looked winded. He could feel a sense of smarminess from Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou think this is funny?!\u201d he snarled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell\u2026\u201d mused Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?! IT\u2019S NOT FUNNY\u2026unlike your face,\u201d chuckled Nemesis. He then revealed a chassis that was undented. Jazz was confused and started swinging the ball around right into Nemesis\u2019 sides. Nemesis started laughing. He then drew out his own axe and combined the handles to make the staff. \u201cSay goodbye to existence!\u201d shouted Nemesis as he swung the axe into Jazz\u2019s sides. The transformation was cancelled as Jazz\u2019s helmet went back to normal. He started clutching his Energon leaking sides. Optimus called for Ratchet, who arrived on the scene with the other Autobots and G.U.N. Ratchet dealt with Jazz, who was, rightfully, going on about how the black guy always gets shafted in these kinds of situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat was a mistake!\u201d snarled Ironhide. He charged at Nemesis but was promptly stopped with a right hook to his jaw. He was quickly knocked out. Bumblebee and Cliffjumper tried an attack which had Bumblebee in the air and Cliffjumper on the ground, but a stamp of Nemesis\u2019 foot launched Cliffjumper into Bumblebee. Prowl tried the Taser that was built into his hand, but Nemesis sent the current back to him. He then flung Ironhide, Prowl, Bumblebee, and Cliffjumper into Ratchet and Jazz. The impact caused Jazz to go into emergency stasis so he could be spared until his wounds were healed. The only bot that wasn\u2019t unconscious was Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPathetic,\u201d sighed Nemesis. \u201cYou spend every waking moment distracting yourself from true power that\u2019s right outside your door by bothering to fight for these ants! You want reality? Here it is! You will die! By my hands! By these very weapons! Death\u2026at the hands of a superior being.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWow,\u201d griped Optimus, \u201cegotistical much? Besides, you haven\u2019t seen me at my peak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd, that concerns me, how?\u201d asked Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, you said you killed my double too quickly and Sonic\u2019s double died under your foot,\u201d remarked Optimus. \u201cI would have figured you would want to play with your prey.\u201d Nemesis arched an eyebrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou know, the thing is, I know you\u2019re playing me,\u201d he grinned, \u201cbut, you\u2019re right. Let\u2019s see your peak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTrust me, Nemesis Prime, great things are about to happen,\u201d assured Optimus. He then got into a ready stance. He then started humming. Nemesis arched an eyebrow. His annoyance grew. Prowl soon woke up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cProwl,\u201d hissed Teletraan in a soft whisper, \u201ccan you fix Jazz? Optimus has a plan to throw Nemesis back into his universe. I had some help with Tails to tune the Ground Bridge to reach other universes, but Optimus can\u2019t command Nemesis to drop his weapons without help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo it IS processor over matter,\u201d mused Prowl. \u201cIf it\u2019s a Cyber Ninja he needs, I can fill the part.\u201d He sat Japanese style and started humming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd now the police bot hums!\u201d snarled Nemesis as he drew his gun. He was about to fire, but his trigger finger wouldn\u2019t respond. Suddenly, his grip was slowly loosening! He tried to regain control, but it was no use! \u201cWhat\u2019s\u2026happening?!\u201d strained Nemesis Prime. Prowl paused in his humming to explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m sure you are familiar with processor over matter,\u201d he answered. \u201cIt\u2019s actually easy when you\u2019ve mastered it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2026idiot!\u201d gasped Nemesis as the gun fell. \u201cNow\u2026 you won\u2019t\u2026know\u2026true power!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaybe, but you\u2019re a bit of a jackhole,\u201d replied Prowl. \u201cTeletraan, Optimus and I can\u2019t hold him for much longer!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFound his universe!\u201d called Teletraan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWho\u2019s\u2026Teletraan?!\u201d asked Nemesis. Optimus then stopped humming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAre you telling me you don\u2019t have an artificial intelligence?\u201d he quizzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo!\u201d said Nemesis. That\u2019s when a portal opened behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPity,\u201d sighed Optimus, \u201cyou might have won with an A.I.\u201d He charged at Nemesis, picked him up, and tossed him into the portal. Teletraan quickly closed it. Optimus let himself fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Autobots soon woke up in an empty storage barn with technicians working on them. Prowl was the first one up and soon got everyone awake. Once they were given final checks, Optimus explained to Sonic and his friends who Nemesis was. \u201cScourge is\u2026dead?\u201d gulped Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy evil double too,\u201d mumbled Amy as she hugged Sonic\u2019s arm, the fake bloodstains on her dress getting onto him. Sonic didn\u2019t notice. Tails felt sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI can\u2019t believe he did that,\u201d he gagged. \u201cMiles could have been something more than a new evil person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet\u2019s not dwell on him too long,\u201d suggested Optimus. \u201cNow that we\u2019ve dealt with him, things should go smoothly for the party.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re still on about that?!\u201d snarled Shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think that keeping the party going would be good for morale,\u201d replied Prowl. Optimus and Amy looked at him quizzically. \u201cIn the past, I might have turned my nose up at Halloween, but I see why it\u2019s celebrated. It\u2019s to look at fear right in the face, and have fun, despite it being there.\u201d Optimus grinned. Amy gave a smile. They then gave each other a thumbs-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOkay guys, you\u2019re clear to go,\u201d answered a technician. Optimus led everyone back to the Command Center and took the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHumans, Mobians, and Autobots,\u201d he began, \u201cI think this whole incident has proved one of many things we have in common; we all can laugh in the face of danger. Evil was about to tear us down and laugh as it did, so what did we do? We laughed at it. We all knew that it\u2019s impossible to surrender to evil if we all can see our goal and see how to achieve it. Evil feeds on giving up, so we just starve it by persevering and continuing to be merry with each other. That\u2019s what this holiday is about, and that\u2019s what N.E.S.T. was built on this past year. Here\u2019s to many more years of working together.\u201d There was applause and cheering at that message. It was short and sweet, and it was awesome. \u201cNow,\u201d continued Optimus, \u201clet\u2019s have some fun! Jazz, music please!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThriller<\/em>, coming up!\u201d called Jazz. As the music of the King of Pop played, the party got underway. Happy Halloween, my friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Epilogue: Moebius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo I\u2019m about a hairs\u2019 breadth from killing Optimus,\u201d snarled Nemesis to himself as he stomped around the forest of his home, \u201cthen that universe\u2019s Jazz shows up and decides, \u2018I\u2019m just gonna play Japanese superhero!\u2019 Then Optimus fakes me out with that humming. Apparently, that\u2019s part of a Cyber Ninja\u2019s arsenal! Gotta look into that later! But, at the very top of this long list of stupid questions is HOW DID I LOSE?! I HAD EVERYTHING!
