Thanks for reading, sorry I don't update regularly, I really hope you enjoy.
btw, if the ending is a spoiler/set-up to the rest of the series plot. If you can recognize it, you're a TF god, I went for an obscure character
Vectimus, Maximal Wreckage Base "All right, time for a threat assessment," Optimus Primal held a meeting with his soldiers in the remains of the ship's lobby. "You say they have Sixshot. The one-bot army, the immortal regenerator, the 'con that can single-handedly take down whole planets, am I right?"
"Yes sir," Unicorn replied. "The fact that we're still alive indicates that he has not been awoken from his stasis."
"Yes..." Primal thought over the situation swiftly. A distinct ticking noise penetrated into his processor, "Escargon! What are you doing?"
"Oh, sorry General sir." Escargon saluted in loyal apology. "I was just messing with this mine I made from some Energon crystals."
"Where did you find Energon crystals on this planet?"
"In the water, while you and the rest were healing in the CR chamber. Why?"
"That's not a very common occurrence," Longhorn pointed out. "Cheetor's report on the Beast Wars mentioned that crystals such as these were planted by the Vok species."
"Yes, I've read about Alien activities during the Beast Wars." Primal turned to his crew. "All right. Longhorn, you go with Escargon and look into this Energon stuff. Careful not to get to much, it has a knack for overloading circuits."
"What will we do sir?" The Battle Unicorn asked.
"We will stop talking and involve some action." Primal drew out his blades. "Last time we fought the mixed 'Cons I beat them all by myself. If we get them by surprise we can do the universe justice and slag Megatron once and for all. Without Predacons we can figure out what's going on in this planet and get a communication back home."
"Yes Sir!" Escargon transformed and began to slither away.
"Wait Escargon! I don't know where we're going!" Longhorn transformed and pursued.
"Hurry up Unicorn!" Optimus was already flying away.
Vectimus, a very peculiar cave"Why, I've never..." The Diagnostic Drone hovered around the cavern. "I'm not sure what to make of all this."
Purple vines seemed to pulse around the cave. It was the very center of Vectimus, excess radiation floated around in bubbling pockets around the 'cons. "Nor I Drone. This is all very curious. Max-B, how did you come by this cave in your exploration?"
"Well sir, I guess I should just, uh, what's the word for it." the Predacon went through his processor looking for a way to continue his word. "Honesty, that's it! I should be honest. You see, this cave sorta, called for me. I got a feeling in my spark, like when I worked with Angolmois..."
"Stop there. Angolmois, it's what made you into this Cyborg-Beast, correct?" Max-B nodded slowly. "What is this Angolmois?"
"It was sorta like a cult I got wrangled into with an old partner of mine, Hellscream. This guy Shockaract was using Angolmois to gain some sort of power, I wasn't really told much details. He was eventually defeated, and then these Vehicon things began attacking everyone and I don't know where they came from, but that's pretty much it."
"Right, the Vehicons..." Megatron had mixed memories between his Maximal body and Predacon spark, but Vehicons were part of his mind that couldn't be forgotten.
"Oh, Wazzpinator tired of all the talking," Waspinator, who had been tasked with carrying the remaining stasis pod threw it to the ground and sat on it. "Wazzpinator tired of rolling."
"Good idea Waspinator," coming from Megatron's voice these words were thought to never happen. "You deserve a good rest, you to Drone. Max-B, you and I are going for a walk." Megatron took a vial and scooped the Angolmois energy into it. "While we're gone Drone I want you to analyze this thing," Megatron pointed towards the spiky spark object which levitated in the center of the cave. "I expect to no what it is by the time I return. Come now Max-B."
"Did I do something sir?"
"Of course not, I just want to know more about you. We can expand our friendship, our alliance."
The pair of Predacons left the cave and traveled around Vectimus. "So sir, what am I missing? Or did you just wanna talk?"
"I really just wanted to talk Max-B, there's no reason to be nervous."
"I'm sorry, it's just that some of my past commanders have been mean, and I was just expecting that. Especially from a guy who calls his self Megatron, hahaha."
"Indeed you'd think it would be expected, though I am of a different touch nowadays. It seems I have become increasingly involved in that which is unexpected..." Megatron's voice trailed away as he heard the tiny flutter of wings beating against the air. In the sky, past the trees he could see a large blue bat swooping down. "Max-B! Get down!"
The form of Optimus Primal emerged in front of them swords drawn, "Megatron, how convenient that you're here. I thought it would be a long search. I would like to negotiate your surrender!"
"Megatron ain't alone buddy! It's two on one!" Siphoning power from the residual Angolmois from his visit into the cave, Max-B began to unleash an onslaught of energy shock waves. Primal back flipped over the attack and threw an explosive charge from a container in his arm. Max-B seemed fully impervious.
"Impressive," the voice from behind Max-B said. It was the technorganic form of the Battle Unicorn with her axe drawn. "Primal isn't alone either!"
Her axe clashed against the Predacon's shield and he soon overpowered her. Teleportation was the trump card of the day, and the only thing that kept her alive. She soon began dodging bullets fired by Megatron, who soon became occupied by Primal. A swift hit across the face knocked Primal to the ground, though his recovery was swift. Battle Unicorn soon took a mighty blow from Max-B's spiked ball melee weapon. Battle Unicorn began to release a pulse wave which scrambled Max-B's sensors, but he blasted her with an Angolmois-powered optic laser. It was a lucky, but effective, shot.
"Sir, I think we're outclassed, we need something, a distraction so we can regroup with the others."
"Doubt that'll happen Horsey!" Max-B laughed and gestured towards the direction of the Maximal base in the wreckage.
A great beam of yellow light was raining down right on the approximate area of the base.
"Slag, That looks like a particle cannon!" Optimus turned his sight towards Megatron. "What is this?"
"Well, you asked for a distraction! Hahahaha!"
Vectimus, a very peculiar caveThe Diagnostic Drone was working in the cave as Waspinator was lazily rolling around. "Oh, Wazzpinator ask for break but break so boring, why univerze hate Wazzpinator?"
"Oh Waspinator, how I do so miss your Thrust processor programming..." as the Drone remembered the glory days of Vehicon control the object, the spiky, spark-like object in the center of the core began to pulse. "That's unusual. I don't believe that I could have activated..."
"Drone bot, look!" Waspinator pointed to a creature. A tall being glowing with golden energy, shrouded in a purple silhouette.
"Waspinator, what have you done?" the Drone was the first to place blame.
"Oh, WAzzpinator no do nothing! You do bad thing with spiky-spark!"
The being began to speak, a voice filled with power in audible form. "This is not a place for those like you. The destruction of your ships will be a short, sharp lesson until you leave."
"Destruction of what? That pile of wreckage isn't even ours!" The Drone stepped in assertively, "On who's authority do you have the right to enter our cave! I demand to know what in Megatron's name you are doing in our base of operatio..."
"SILENCE! RETURN TO THE BEGINNING. PREPARE. PREPARE--"
