G.U.N. had been told of the Transformers splitting into different groups to confuse Unicron. While that was going on, Lansworth and a friend of hers, a Husky male named Mike, were watching a Monitor Lizard and his Husky co-host doing an exercise routine, complete with leg warmers and sweat-bands. Topaz then came up to them and saw the broadcast, sighing as she knew their tendencies. \u201cWork-out channel?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSupporting my boyfriend,\u201d answered Mike as he pointed to the Husky co-host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBoyfriend?\u201d asked Lansworth. \u201cI thought you two were married.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot yet. Gonna be proposing to him tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat explains your leave request,\u201d mused Topaz. \u201cIn that case, good luck tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you, Commander.\u201d Just then, the Monitor Lizard noticed something rumbling as his hands touched the floor. Unicron then burst from the floor in robot mode and knocked everyone down as he rose through the ceiling of the studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLansworth! Change the channel!\u201d ordered Topaz. Lansworth flipped through the channels to see Unicron rising from the floors of each studio until she arrived at the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd, as you can see,\u201d the male Poodle Anchor was finishing his broadcast, \u201cwith all due respect to canines like myself, every dog has its\u2026\u201d he didn\u2019t finish his sentence as Unicron rose from the floor. The Terrorcons then appeared out of purple portals and hooked up demonic machinery to the cameras. Unicron then grabbed the poodle anchor. The Terrorcons then set themselves up as if they were the camera crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd we\u2019re universal in 3\u20262\u20261\u2026GO!\u201d called Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe following contains violence, coarse language, and adult situations not suitable for minors. Viewer discretion is advised!\u201d He then tightened his grip, reducing the poor anchor to a bloody paste. As he let the viscera fall from his hands, Unicron faced the cameras. \u201cLadies, gentlemen, boys, girls, organics, sentient machines, and that technicolor AND techno-organic rainbow in between, I am Unicron. Locals of Mobius, you might remember me as Dark Gaia. Of course, if you were just above the cracks as Eggman split the planet apart, then you WON\u2019T remember me as you fell to your fiery end at the core of the planet, and I ate your souls. But that\u2019s not what I\u2019m here to talk about today. Today, I am making an announcement!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPlease be leaving the planet forever! Please be leaving the planet forever! Please be leaving the planet forever!\u201d begged Vector as the Chaotix saw the broadcast AFTER the execution of the poodle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy Terrorcons and I will be leaving the planet forever,\u201d announced Unicron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWOO HOO!\u201d cheered Vector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter I blow it up like an atom bomb!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOH NO!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnless\u2026\u201d Vector gasped in fearful anticipation, \u201cone or more of Mobius\u2019 \u2018champions\u2019 can best me in combat!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, Sonic?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know, Orion\u2019s still gonna fight!\u201d protested Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am officially hosting a once-in-your-lifetime event,\u201d continued Unicron. \u201cA tournament so grand, it will leave you breathless! I hereby dub it\u2026the Unicron Games! Be part of the Big Conversation on #UnicronGames.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWow, Yatter just EXPLODED with that hashtag!\u201d muttered Ravage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026You have a Yatter account?\u201d asked Galvatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor all of you familiar with your adorable tournament-style sports, I\u2019ll be borrowing the rules. No brackets, this time! Yours truly is the only opponent. And, much like Megatron\u2019s mother, I will accept ALL offers!\u201d Unicron gave a rather dirty wink at that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHOW DARE HE!\u201d roared Windblade as her trim turned gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Where was THAT?!\u201d asked Thundercracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe location of this marvelous event is 35\u00b0N 116\u00b0W,\u201d continued Unicron. \u201cIf you don\u2019t know where that is\u2026it\u2019s the old Mojave Desert on the continent of Northern Imperia. If you\u2019re wondering why coordinates are like that, blame the cartographers. The games will start one year from today at the exact time this broadcast ends. That should give you locals more than enough time to prepare and train! Or, for those not participating, time to connect with loved ones, get your affairs in order\u2026or maybe you just want to kill your boss! Get a purge going! Live a little! Because in one year\u2019s time\u2026well, to give you an idea\u2026\u201d Unicron then pointed his left pinky at the wall before a stream of light utterly devastated it, along with the buildings behind the studio and the mountains behind the city. \u201cSo, keep that in mind and I\u2019ll see you next year. Also, feel free to pray to your god but, spoilers, I won\u2019t be listening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAaannd CUT! That\u2019s a wrap!\u201d called Nemesis in the studio. The Terrorcons took to the air and flew off to the Mojave Desert. \u201cYou know, we\u2019re gonna need a design for the arena,\u201d he mused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlready covered,\u201d replied Unicron as he tossed the blueprints to the Terrorcons. \u201cI\u2019ll leave the particulars to you lot. In the meantime, I\u2019m gonna build me a castle near it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A countdown was on every screen that hosted the broadcast. 364 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 52 seconds remained. Orion Pax sighed as he looked through the remains of his base. He found an Energon convertor, a spare comms unit, his trailer, and a spare pistol. He transformed and hooked himself up to the trailer. \u201cSo, what\u2019s the plan?\u201d asked Jazz\u2019s voice. Orion then noticed Jazz and Blackarachnia in vehicle mode with Sonic and Amy standing by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026We need the Three Powers.\u201d Answered Orion. \u201cHe said one year, I\u2019m using it. I\u2019m going to un-brick my connection to the Matrix. Alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat didn\u2019t work for you last time, did it?\u201d asked Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRemember what Sira taught you?\u201d reminded Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is my home too,\u201d finished Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPax, you might as well accept it. We\u2019re going with you,\u201d said Jazz firmly. Orion grinned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn that case, everyone, let\u2019s roll out!\u201d The team then left the ruined base. They all have one year, will they win?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
