Queen Aleena\u2019s form betrayed an agitated mind as she glared at the new Decepticon leader filling the monitor. \u201cA new power rises on your planet,\u201d announced Megatron. \u201cAny attempts to attack the Harbinger <\/em>will be met with deadly force and extreme prejudice! You would be well advised that my ship possesses enough firepower to devastate any densely populated area of my choosing. I would, in all likelihood, set sights on your children\u2019s birthplace of Mobodoon for starters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPoint taken!\u201d snarled Aleena. \u201cNow, what do you want from us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNothing, your Majesty,\u201d assured Megatron. \u201cWe Decepticons mean no harm. We simply desire a place to call home, after we were defeated by the Autobots and robbed of our rights on our native soil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo offense, Megatron,\u201d argued Aleena, \u201cbut I\u2019m having a tough time believing that since, according to the Autobots, you guys were bent on burying the human race under molten steel before the Mobians came into existence!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour Majesty,\u201d replied Megatron, \u201cI will be the first to admit that war brings out the worst in the Decepticons, but the conflict is now over. Our quarrel is NOT with you or your planet. Now that we have lost, our only wish is coexist on this planet with all species peacefully. Together, Queen Aleena, I believe that you and I can make that dream a reality.\u201d He terminated the call and heard someone applauding him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou, too, have a way with words, my Liege,\u201d praised Knock-out. \u201cI almost believed you myself.\u201d Megatron chuckled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMobius has no idea what awaits them,\u201d boasted Megatron. \u201cThis planet will be a haven for Decepticons and\u2026\u201d a low beeping interrupted him. \u201cWhat the? Who\u2019s calling?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt appears to be coming from the Autobot base,\u201d remarked Soundwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey haven\u2019t relocated?\u201d quizzed Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGrief can make you do illogical things,\u201d mused Megatron. \u201cOn screen.\u201d Optimus showed up on the screen, but he wasn\u2019t in grief. In fact, a big fat grin was on his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots and Cybertron!\u201d he announced. \u201cHey, Mega-twit! You might want to take that bucket off your head and listen for a klik!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026Wow, like a child, you compare my helmet to a bucket,\u201d snarked Megatron. \u201cNo, really, I\u2019m truly wounded. My Spark trembles at your words.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSarcasm doesn\u2019t suit you,\u201d argued Optimus. \u201cListen, I just want to say how deeply impressed I am at seeing you as leader of the Decepticons. Throughout my childhood, you were the one who told me the Cons were the stuff of nightmares. I must admit, I am honored to finally see their true colors, cowards with the ability to make more cowards like you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026I\u2019m sorry, rust must be clogging my audio receptors,\u201d hissed Megatron. \u201cWhat did you just call me?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo you seriously think that siding with the Cons would make things more peaceful?!\u201d snarled Optimus. \u201cWhen did you turn into a full blown coward?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHOW DARE YOU!!\u201d roared Megatron. \u201cOptimus, you impugn my honor!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad you didn\u2019t say \u2018belittle\u2019,\u201d replied Optimus, \u201cbecause then I\u2019d have a field day. But, fighting to silence any views contrary to your own? On a world with alien life that you perceive to be weaker to us? That\u2019s the weapon of a coward, and you know it. Megatron, you\u2019ve got enough power to change the Decepticons\u2019 moral code and yet, you\u2019re content with having them stagnate in their hatred against us. You\u2019re unique in that you have two views from two factions! We can work together to make a peaceful Cybertron and improve the Decepticons!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThrough talk and conferences?\u201d countered Megatron. \u201cWith constant bickering? Autobots and Decepticons always arguing over what\u2019s best?! A watered-down war?! Optimus, the only way change can happen is with all available speed! And, in case you forgot, the most peaceful eras for the Autobots were under Nova and Zeta Prime!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat wasn\u2019t peace, that was tyrannical quiet!\u201d argued Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPray tell, what\u2019s the difference?\u201d asked Megatron. \u201cOptimus, the path to peace is paved with tyranny. So, unless you have something legitimate to ask of me, like, say, mercy, terminate this call.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just want to know which of your bots tried to kill Blackarachnia,\u201d replied Optimus. Megatron\u2019s attention was grabbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTried to\u2026are you saying Elita-1 lives?!\u201d he snapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is the worst lie I\u2019ve ever heard!\u201d shouted Starscream. \u201cShe is dead! I killed her myself! You are bluffing!\u201d Optimus smirked, then gave room to Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t get your lottery ticket today,\u201d she boasted. \u201cAnd, really? Giving me full access to your database when you clapped optics on me? I thought security would be tighter than that. I did what Megatron did with the Autobot database and copied yours over. Only, unlike him, I got the entire thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026You allowed the spider to LIVE?!\u201d Megatron roared at Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPretty sloppy job, too,\u201d taunted Blackarachnia. \u201cOh, and it\u2019s still Blackarachnia, not Elita-1. I legally changed my name. Prime, anything you wish to add?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way I see it, you have two options,\u201d offered Optimus. \u201cYou can either surrender right now and return to Cybertron where you will stand trial and serve whatever sentence is passed, or you can fight all the Autobots alone at a time and place of your choosing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026\u2026\u2026Emerald Coast, in an hour!\u201d snarled Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVery well,\u201d finished Optimus as he terminated the call. Soundwave went through the entire database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlackarachnia was telling the truth,\u201d he reported. \u201cOur entire database was copied and decoded.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLord Megatron, I swear upon the Allspark, the spider-femme could not have survived her wounds!\u201d yelped Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat bit, I could forgive,\u201d hissed Megatron, \u201cbut allowing her full access to our database?!\u201d He grabbed Starscream by the throat. \u201cDO YOU HAVE ANY NOTION OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR BLUNDER!?!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy lord!\u201d Starscream chocked out. \u201cIt was her feminine wiles that\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cARE YOU SOME JACKHOLE LOOKING FOR A MEASLY FENDER-BENDER?!\u201d roared Megatron as he tossed his second-in-command across the bridge. \u201cBlackarachnia has sold a complete database to the enemy! The Autobots must be destroyed!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI shall organize the Decepticons and we will crush the Autobots!\u201d offered Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou will only bring failure to our cause!\u201d shouted Megatron. \u201cYou have failed me enough times! You will remain on the bridge while I deal with the Autobots myself!\u201d Megatron headed off the bridge with Knock-out following him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy Liege, maybe a quick stasis-nap will help you think things over,\u201d suggested Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPerhaps,\u201d replied Megatron, \u201cbut there is something I must attend to. The Harbinger<\/em> carries a large store of Energon, correct?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDark Energon, yes,\u201d corrected Knock-out. \u201cMy Liege, you have more than enough with the Badge. Perhaps you should lay off on its powers. I fear too much contact at one time is adversely affecting you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaybe,\u201d remarked Megatron as they arrived at the Dark Energon store. A large hunk of the stuff was suspended in an energy cage. \u201cAnd maybe,\u201d continued Megatron as he projected a barrier between him and Knock-out, \u201cI have not had contact enough!\u201d He then tore a large crystal shard of Dark Energon away from the main mass and took the Badge off. Knock-out then realized what was going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy Lord! NO!\u201d he wailed. \u201cThat will penetrate your Spark Chamber! You don\u2019t know what it\u2019ll do to you!\u201d His advice went unheeded as Megatron merged the shard to the back of the Badge. Once the process was complete, Megatron plunged the new Badge into his chest, the tip piercing the Spark Chamber as Knock-out warned. The energies of the dark matter and his Spark started mixing, throwing Megatron into pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll right, we\u2019re ready, just have a half hour left of waiting,\u201d reported Ironhide as everyone finished preparations, Sonic included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoody. Waiting. The fun bit,\u201d sighed Blackarachnia. \u201cYou know, Prime, if the circumstances were different, you and I would be enjoying some time on an alien beach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKeep your head in what\u2019s happening right now, Lieutenant,\u201d directed Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, Sir,\u201d mumbled Blackarachnia. Sonic leaned against the First Weapon, an \u201cimpact cannon\u201d Perceptor called it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou ever stop to wonder how weird our lives are?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d quizzed Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou guys are robots from another planet that turn into vehicles,\u201d explained Sonic. \u201cYou\u2019re on an alien world where animals can talk and build civilizations. I fight a fat scientist bent on taking over my planet. There are seven jewels that give me power. I\u2019ve learned about wizards and witches. And, to top it all off, we\u2019re fighting your boss\u2019s brother. Doesn\u2019t that seem a bit odd to you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn all honesty,\u201d replied Optimus, \u201cthe bloody history of the Cybertronians is one of oddities popping up everywhere. Normal is relative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFair point,\u201d conceded Sonic. \u201cJust making conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGuys, don\u2019t look now,\u201d gulped Teletraan, \u201cbut a Ground Bridge opened and it ain\u2019t mine!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s early,\u201d muttered Optimus. \u201cThen again, so are we. Autobots, man your stations!\u201d The Autobots got into position as Ratchet got the impact cannon ready. Megatron then stepped through the Ground Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will drench this planet in your innermost\u2026!\u201d he shouted before he saw the cannon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNOW!\u201d ordered Optimus. An impact cannon sends out a short, but powerful sonic burst that knocks the opponent sprawling on the ground as Megatron just found out. He recovered quicker than anticipated and finally used his new fusion cannon to destroy the impact cannon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMEIN CANNON!\u201d wailed Perceptor. He then activated a scope for his right eye and fired his sniper rifle. Megatron jumped straight up, then landed near Perceptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI must say, old friend,\u201d he hissed, \u201cI never pegged you for having ANY combat skills, much less sniper skills.\u201d He then grabbed Perceptor\u2019s head. \u201cYou ARE full of surprises.\u201d He then tossed Perceptor into the rest of the Autobots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHEY! TRAITOR!\u201d called a voice. Ironhide, Prowl, and Ratchet leaped onto Megatron. They tried to get him to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, please,\u201d sighed Megatron. \u201cDo you know how many of my opponents tried this in the Pits of Kaon?\u201d He managed to fling them off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay, really didn\u2019t want to go this far yet, but we don\u2019t have a choice,\u201d declared Optimus. \u201cUltra Magnus, Bumblebee, it\u2019s time. Optimus Prime, Super Mode!\u201d As the battle frame came into reality, Bumblebee allowed the Apex Armor to encase him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltra Magnus, Battle Mode!\u201d  announced Ultra Magnus. A smaller trailer split into parts, first forming large gauntlets, then forming tall shoulder pads with a missile on each one, then large boots, then a set of chest armor with a helmet coming down. The helmet was blue with white antennae. He then grabbed a staff with a mallet end on it and the mallet expanded. He swung it at Megatron. Sadly, Megatron grabbed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeriously?\u201d he sighed. \u201cYou barely used your battle frame during the war. What good is a slow soldier and commanding officer?\u201d He flung Ultra Magnus aside. \u201cAnd you, runt,\u201d he taunted to Bumblebee, \u201cthis is the first time anyone of your generation has seen the Apex Armor in this day and age, much less wore it. You don\u2019t know its weaknesses. I, on the other hand\u2026\u201d he then punched the center of the armor and it collapsed into its disc form. \u201cAnd since you and YOUR brother still stand on the same side, why not join him?\u201d He tossed Bumblebee into Cliffjumper. Sadly, the impact snapped the immobilizer Cliffjumper had. \u201cNow, YOU, Optimus, you move more fluidly in your battle frame,\u201d mused Megatron. \u201cI may have a challenge from you. If only I had a battle frame of my own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI could hear the sarcasm dripping from your voice,\u201d snarled Optimus. \u201cLet\u2019s see it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVery well,\u201d replied Megatron. \u201cMegatron, Conquest Mode!\u201d A dragon-like object flew from subspace and split apart. The parts and panels containing the front legs folded to become gauntlets with large blades, the right blade splitting to make room for the fusion cannon. He then made a short jump in the air and allowed boots to wrap around his feet. The last bit with the dragon head and chest became a helmet and chest armor with a winged jetpack. \u201cI can see that look in your optics, Jazz,\u201d taunted Megatron. \u201cYou want to hum the jingle for Drago Knight Hunter Z<\/em>, correct? A Kamen Rider<\/em> fan to the end, I admire that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not the only tokusatsu fan here!\u201d called Optimus. He then took out the Gaburevolver and Gabutyra Zyudenchi. Jazz equipped the OOO Driver and Blackarachnia pulled out a device with a large white ring on top. She then pulled out two cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Toku Trio? Really?\u201d protested Megatron. \u201cSee, this is why you\u2019re falling all around me, you\u2019re not fighting seriously. Oh well, if you\u2019re THAT desperate for an easy win, go ahead, make with the long, drawn-out transformation sequences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBRAVE IN!\u201d announced Optimus. He pressed the button on the Zyudenchi and the image went from a silhouette to a full t-rex image. He then put it into the Gaburevolver and closed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGABURINCHO! GABUTYRA!\u201d called the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKyoryu change!\u201d he shouted. He then spun the chamber and started dancing to Samba music before doing a complete turn and pointing the gun at Megatron. \u201cFIRE!\u201d he called. A holographic t-rex head flew towards Megatron, but he simply got out of the way and let it fly back to Optimus as it chomped him. His outfit looked a lot like Kyoryu Violet, but he was red and it evoked a t-rex more than a plesiosaur. Jazz inserted the medals and tilted the Driver, scanning them as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHenshin!\u201d he announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTAKA! TORA! BATTA! Tatoba! Tatoba, TATOBA!\u201d sang the OOO Driver. His OOO armor came into existence and he struck a pose. Blackarachnia then revealed one of her cards. It had the image of a man in a silver and white bodysuit and a sliver helmet with white eyes and a blue light in the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltraman-san!\u201d she called. She then put the card through the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltraman!\u201d announced the ring. A hologram of the person on the card, Ultraman, appeared on her left. Blackarachnia then revealed her second card. It had a person in a similar suit, but blue was thrown into the color scheme and it had a light between the eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTiga-san!\u201d she called. She then put the card through the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltraman Tiga!\u201d declared the ring. The figure on the card, Ultraman Tiga, appeared on her right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m borrowing the power of your lights!\u201d announced Blackarachnia as she thrust the ring into the air. Wings on each side of the ring opened as the ring glowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFusion Up!\u201d called the ring. The two Ultramen then started glowing, Ultraman in a blue light and Ultraman Tiga in a yellow light. They then fused into her and she became an Ultraman. The light fizzled away from the feet up to reveal her in a blue, red, silver, and black color scheme with a silver helmet and glowing white eyes. There was a blue ring on her chest. \u201cUltraman Orb: Spacium Zeperion!\u201d announced the ring. She then struck a pose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlackarachnia as Ultraman Orb!\u201d she introduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJazz as Kamen Rider OOO!\u201d called Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd Optimus Prime as Kiba no Y\u016bsha (the Fanged Brave), Kyoryu Red!\u201d finished Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd together, we are the Toku Trio!\u201d called all three as they struck a pose and explosions went off behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere\u2019d you get that amount of napalm?\u201d asked Megatron. \u201cAnd I thought Ultramen would grow Godzilla-sized once their transformation\u2019s complete, shouldn\u2019t Blackarachnia be the size of a Metrotitan?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t need to be big to beat you!\u201d snapped Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about to get wild!\u201d warned Optimus. \u201cJust try and stop us!\u201d The three then charged at Megatron as he rolled his optics. He was about to send an energy wave when a spin-dash hit him on the back of the head. The punches and kicks from the bots then hit him. He knocked them away and started looking for the mystery assailant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll right, who hit me before they did?!\u201d he snarled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re too slow!\u201d taunted Sonic as he ran by Megatron at a fast enough speed to kick sand up to his face. Megatron was blinded briefly enough for Optimus to roll the Gaburevolver down his right arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArmed on!\u201d he ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeccha mucho!\u201d announced the gun. Silver armor appeared on the arm and a t-rex head punching glove appeared. Optimus then swung a punch, but Megatron grabbed it and used Optimus as a club to knock Jazz and Blackarachnia down before they could unleash their attacks. All three transformations were cancelled and Megatron dismissed his Conquest mode armor, allowing him to transform and fight Sonic in his holo-form. He easily tripped Sonic up and grabbed him by the quills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI toppled speedsters that could reach Mach 5,\u201d he boasted. \u201cHow fast can you go, slightly above Mach 1? Enough to make a sonic boom?\u201d He then tossed Sonic into the groaning Autobots. \u201cOf all the people I\u2019ve had to fight, you lot were the most boring. Toys? Fancy gadgets being pulled out of your afts? Superpowers? Although, I can\u2019t fully say anything against it. I DID pull a fancy gadget out of nowhere and I\u2019ve used my own dark powers. Heck, I\u2019m about to do so to restrain you lot so you can watch Mobodoon burn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTHAT\u2019S WHERE I WAS BORN!\u201d wailed Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, it is, isn\u2019t it?\u201d chuckled Megatron. His eyes then glowed purple and he fired a beam of purple light into the sand. The area then started glowing purple and he terminated the beam. What happened next can be described as sickening, for hands started sprouting from the ground, dead hands, Cybertronian hands. \u201cSee, this is why I picked Emerald Coast,\u201d revealed Megatron. \u201cThere\u2019s a high enough corpse count for me to practice my, admittedly, macabre skill of raising the dead. This area was once called Virginia Beach, the site of our bloodiest skirmish in the Earth campaign.\u201d The dead then grabbed the Autobots and Sonic, holding them down. He noticed the angry looks on their faces. \u201cWhat, were you expecting me to say something along the lines of \u2018Behold! The power of Dark Energon!\u2019 and cackle like a madman?\u201d joked Megatron. \u201cThe fallen soldiers\u2026Terrorocons, I believe they are now, make for effective minions. Though, I will admit, it\u2019s a drain on Energon. Now, time for me to make a call.\u201d He transformed back into robot mode and tossed a disc to the ground. The disc then projected a holographic screen. \u201cStarscream, it is time. Begin the\u2026wait, is that\u2026gunfire?\u201d He gave the image his full attention to see static. \u201cFix image and audio,\u201d he ordered. The image was fixed a little and the sound became a little clearer. \u201cTimes 10,\u201d directed Megatron. The image and audio then showed the chaos on the Harbinger<\/em>\u2019s bridge. G.U.N, Sonic\u2019s allies, and a force of mages led by Sira were beating the Decepticons back! \u201cWHAT IN THE PITS OF KAON IS GOING ON?!\u201d bellowed Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cENEMY INVASION! ENEMY INVASION!\u201d screamed Skywarp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSTOP SHOUTING \u2018ENEMY INVASION\u2019 AND HELP US!\u201d shouted Thundercracker. Soundwave then went on screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLORD MEGATRON! WE\u2019RE UNDER ATTACK!\u201d he cried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cObviously! What happened?!\u201d demanded Megatron. He then heard corroded metal falling down. He turned to see the Autobots picking themselves up and Cliffjumper holding his stomach area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCliff, are you all right?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrime,\u201d groaned Cliffjumper, \u201cin the extremely unlikely event you become like me, don\u2019t swallow Anti-Sparks in one go!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNoted,\u201d replied Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat did you do?!\u201d bellowed Megatron. \u201cThis has your name all over it, Optimus Prime! WHAT DID YOU DO?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s our que,\u201d giggled Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh yes!\u201d cheered Optimus, doing a David Tenant impression. All Autobots got up and Optimus used the communi-disc Megatron activated to make a call. \u201cHey, Shadow, you there?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTeam Dark\u2019s in Engineering,\u201d revealed Topaz, \u201cworking on the computer systems. The self-destruct codes have been deleted, so the Cons can\u2019t rob us of our prize.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut\u2026how?!\u201d spluttered Megatron. \u201cHow did G.U.N get past the defenses?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs that Megatron?!\u201d snapped Sira. \u201cSir, you are a coward of the highest magnitude!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMadam, who are you?!\u201d roared Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am Sira, Grand High Witch of Mobius!\u201d introduced Sira. She then fired a magic blast at Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWatch the paint!\u201d he shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMages and non-mages working together?!\u201d screamed Megatron. \u201cAnd\u2026is that a Nebulan?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrema\u2019s helping Sira train Amy,\u201d explained Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRecent events have brought the magically-inclined folks of Mobius together with their non-magic friends,\u201d revealed Optimus, \u201cThus, the planet became stronger and better than us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHOW?!\u201d shouted Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause, they understand how differences can be strengths,\u201d continued Optimus. \u201cBecause of a common cause, they found a way to quickly compromise and settle differences at a faster rate than our people can. In fact, that was what led to your plans backfiring!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExplain!\u201d demanded Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter you betrayed us,\u201d began Jazz, \u201cOptimus and Blackarachnia realized that you were trying to break him emotionally. So, they wanted to show that he\u2019s no so easily broken in the line of duty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis whole thing about us not fighting seriously?\u201d continued Blackarachnia. \u201cThat was part of the plan. But, it had to happen at a certain Prime\u2019s cue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right!\u201d supplied Optimus. \u201cWhen I contacted you, it was to show you that you can\u2019t break an egotist like me so easily!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd that wasn\u2019t all that happened when he called you,\u201d remarked Jazz. \u201cTeletraan was just waiting to get into your systems!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd when I poked your ego, you left a big, gaping security hole wide open for him to plant a virus in your defenses! Soundwave didn\u2019t even find it until the forces of Mobius boarded your ship!\u201d boasted Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYOU PLAYED ME FOR A FOOL!\u201d roared Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWasn\u2019t really that hard,\u201d replied Optimus. Megatron roared to the heavens and pulled out a whip-like device with a small ball on the end. He then pressed a button and the ball\u2019s panels split away, held together by purple light that ran along the length of the chain and made spikes at the ball end, creating a mace. Optimus activated his axe in dual mode. \u201cYou would destroy everything you touch, Megatron!\u201d declared Optimus as he started fighting seriously. Megatron swung the mace and got it wrapped around Optimus\u2019 arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause everything I need to touch is food for my hunger!\u201d announced Megatron. \u201cMy hunger for power and unity!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNO!\u201d proclaimed Optimus as he boomeranged his other axe into Megatron\u2019s face, making him release Optimus. \u201cI\u2019m going to put an end to your hunger once and for all, before it grows out of control!\u201d He then knocked Megatron down. Sadly, it allowed Megatron to fling sand into Prime\u2019s optics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlmost, Prime,\u201d boasted Megatron as he got back up and powered his fusion cannon up. \u201cBut, almost doesn\u2019t get the job done! You can\u2019t stop me!\u201d He fired, but Optimus rolled out of the way, drawing his own gun and combining the axes into their single mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re old, Megatron!\u201d taunted Optimus as he fired back. \u201cYesterday\u2019s model! Ready for the scrap heap!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see who\u2019s ready for the scrap heap!\u201d snarled Megatron as he swung the mace wildly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJunk!\u201d insulted Optimus as he avoided the blows. \u201cThat\u2019s what you are! Junk!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSILENCE!\u201d roared Megatron. He avoided a shot from Prime\u2019s gun and activated his concealed blade, batting a shot towards Optimus and making him fall. \u201cWhen I\u2019m through with you, Prime, there won\u2019t be enough pieces to smelt down for raw metal!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see who gets smelted, Megatron!\u201d countered Optimus. He then activated his smokestack guns from within his Prime jets and fired while Megatron fired his fusion cannon. The two shots hit each other and caused a light. Then, a power awakened within the two bots. On some primal instinct, they gathered energy from their sparks, brought it to their right fists, and charged at each other at top speed. Their punches connected and caused an explosion, knocking the two mechs back. Megatron recovered first to give an order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSoundwave, activate the Ground Bridge! Scatter us across the globe!\u201d he called. A Ground Bridge soon opened up. Optimus was picked back up by his bots. \u201cPrime, let your people know that your efforts to stop me, while valiant, will prove fruitless in the end! Farewell!\u201d He ran into the ground bridge and it closed. Optimus had a lot to think about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
