MetalSamamon and I have been conversating for a bit - and hey - he told me a few good spoilers..! Yes. You know those questions MS puts at the end of his chapters? Yeah - he answers them for me all the time. All the time, man. The season finale questions were no exceptions..

So, may I present to you the answers to last chapter's questions:

1. Will Megatron succeed in destroying Optimus Prime?s spark?
Sure, why not?

2. Will Optimus Primal be able to stop him?
The real question is: Will OpOp be able to stop being a big baby? I mean, c'mon - did you guys read the part when he was crying over wether or not he was a good leader or not? Bah - what a baby.

3. And what will Tarantulas do once he gets back to the Antagony having defeated the Vok agents?
He's gonna chill for a while. Sip his wine to bid some time. Then BAM!! Rev up the engines and make his home on Junkion - kick it with Wreck-Gar and the rest of the chums - it's 1984 all over again, baby.

4. What of the Maximals?how will they go on without a base and without any allies?
They're gonna eat icecream and reminisce about the days when Dinobot used to own Rattrap with his witty remarks. Rattrap gets upset - goes postal on Cheetor - they all argue over the death of Cheetor before they all split up - OpOp comes back and learns of the situation and says,"Damn - I really F'd up.."

5. And what of MegaZarak?what will he do next?
He'll watch the Maximlas tear into eachother - sadistic bartard he is. He's also the one who tells OpOp of the situation.. what an ass!


OK - so it wasn't funny.. I wanted to draw the last scene of the chapter to show my appreciation for MS' vision - but I just got lazy.. this is the best thing I could come up with.. ehh..

That's awesome Billy!!!

It's always cool to read your comments; and this one was the best out of all of them!!

The wait is finally over!


The Season Finale of Season 1 is here! Chapter 13/Episode 65!!!




Quick comment: If you didn't hate Wing Convoy before; you WILL after this episode; I guarantee it!!!




'Myth Wars': Episode 65: "Other Variables: Part 2: Goodbye Old Friends":




?Megatron?Noooo!!? Primal screams as he lies mere feet from Megatron as he hovers in front of Optimus Prime.

?Oh yes Primal! I?m tired of you always interfering with my plans?this will be the last time!? Megatron cries out as he redirects his attention to removing Optimus Prime?s spark.

Optimus closes his eyes; trying to regain his composure, ??As long as my spark still burns inside my body?? He groans a little in pain as he reaches those few extra inches and rips the lance out of his back, ??You will never win!!?

Megatron looks up for an instant; just in time to see the lance move almost in slow motion towards him like a heat seeking missile; plowing into him and ricocheting off of his body. The massive impact causes him to release the trigger on the device; releasing Prime?s spark and sending it zooming back into Optimus?s body.

Megatron falls to the ground; the device knocked out of his hand. Primal watches as the device skids across the ground and lands near Ratchet?s body.

Reacting quickly, Optimus stands up; bearing the pain of the wound in his back; and races towards the device. Megatron looks up to Optimus running towards him and the device; ?Oh no; you don?t!? Megatron screams as he does a leg-sweep and knocks Primal to the ground.

Megatron quickly rises to his feet and raises a fist to punch Primal in the face; but Primal is the quickest to react as he gives Megatron a sharp uppercut; sending him reeling back into the Ark?s main control panel.

Optimus runs over and grabs the device, ?This will never happen again Megatron; NEVER!? Optimus states as he attempts to snap the device in half; but someone delivers a kick to his back; knocking him off balance and causing him to fumble the device.

?Excellent work Tidal Wave!? Megatron states as he rises to his feet again. He snaps his jaw back into place fully; and picks up the device.

?Hmm?? Megatron stops and thinks for a second. ?What is it boss?? Tidal Wave asks. ?I have a better idea now?? Megatron begins, ??Forget the Ark. It will be here for a long time to come?there is a more effective target I can utilize!? Megatron transforms into dragon mode, ?Gigatron! Get up!? Megatron states as he begins to make his way towards the exit, ?Predacons retreat!!!?

?And just where?do you think?you?re going?? Primal stutters; rising to his feet despite the intense pain. Megatron turns his neck to look at Primal for a brief instant, ?You think you?re in pain now Primal?Oh you just wait till you see what I have in store for you! Your problems are only beginning!!?

Primal stares out as Megatron and the other Predacons evacuate the Ark; racing out the open door. ?Teletran-1; activate!? Primal states as he turns to the ships onboard computer and shoots beams of coding out of his optics. Outside the Ark, Megatron and the other Predacons barely escape the Ark?s shields as they activate. ?Huh?that?s not going to help you Primal!? Megatron screams.

?Predacons; destroy the Axalon!? Megatron commands as they all transform into robot mode and open fire upon the support beams of the Axalon?s bridge. Primal emerges just in time to see the Axalon?s beams break; collapsing the bridge into the lava below.

?NOOO!!? Primal screams as he extends his chest cannons and begins to fire upon Megatron as he and the other Predacons race into their ship. Optimus runs towards the ship; but Megatron turns the ship to face Primal; opening fire upon him as he runs towards the ship.

?Let?s see you stop me now Primal!? Megatron calls out as he activates the ships engines; taking off as Primal lay wounded against the wall of the cave, knocked offline.

Back with the Maximals?

?You?re a Predacon!? Cheetor states in disbelief as he stares at MegaZarak. ?You?re very observant; but that?s not going to save you from my wrath!? MegaZarak sneers as he grabs a pair of tail swords.

?Maximals...Take him out!? Rattrap states; taking command. They all draw their weapons and open fire upon MegaZarak; causing him to back away slowly from the massive firepower and take cover behind a giant boulder.

?Great?now how am I supposed to defeat six Maximals?!? MegaZarak asks himself, shielded behind the rock. ?Perhaps you need some help?? a voice states from nearby. He looks around to see Nemesis come into view from a short distance away, ?Splendid?just the kind of help I needed!?

As soon as Nemesis makes her way to MegaZarak?s side; they emerge from behind the rock and begin to charge upon the Maximals; blocking their fire as they run towards them. ?Where in the spotted heck did she come from?? Cheetor calls out as he sees Nemesis coming towards them. ?Who cares?? Rattrap comments sarcastically as he continues to fire upon the advancing Predacons.

A few feet away Blackarachnia and Silverbolt fire upon the two Predacons when Blackarachnia senses something. ?What is it my beloved?? Silverbolt asks; suddenly concerned. ?Someone else is here?? she begins as she sees a silhouette rise above a hill; and as the figure steps in front of the Sun; his features are revealed. ?By Primus no! It?s Tarantulas!?

?He?looks different?? Blackarachnia states in confusion. ?Oh; I?ve had some interesting times since we last met; she-spider?? Tarantulas begins as he descends down the hill, ??Too bad you won?t survive long enough to hear about them!!?

Back with Megatron?

?Coordinates locked in?objective within range in 10 clicks!? The ship?s onboard computer states as Megatron steers it across the sky like a bird of prey tracking its prey. ?Excellent; and now it?s only a matter of time?? Megatron states as he rubs his hands together with anticipation.

Just then the ship begins to rock violently, causing the three Predacons to be thrown around the cockpit. ?What in the inferno?!? Megatron states as he rises to his feet. ?You?re not going to believe this?? Gigatron begins as he looks at the ship?s computer, ??Primal?s firing upon us!?

?So?you still haven?t learned your lesson yet Primal?? Megatron states with a slight smile, ??We?ll just have to give you some homework!? He laughs to himself as he grabs the ship?s controls and turns the ship around to face Optimus.

Optimus, hovering in front in Air Guardian Mode, continues to fire upon the ship with all of his firepower. ?Give it up Megatron?you?re not going to win!!? Optimus calls out. ?You?re becoming quite a pestilence Primal...? Megatron states with an angry sneer, ??I believe it?s time to call in the exterminator!?

Megatron charges up the ship?s cannons to full power and unleashes two massive balls of laser fire that plow into Primal with such force they blast his jet pack clear off of his body and rip apart his body; sending him into a downward spiral with a thick black trail of smoke emitting from him as he falls.

?And alas; I bid you farewell one final time Primal?? Megatron begins, ??You can not stop the storm that is coming; now you will suffer!!!?

Meanwhile?

?Tarantulas! Didn?t you die?!? Silverbolt states; standing in front of Blackarachnia to protect her. ?Oh you know about us evil types?? Tarantulas snickers, ??We never die!?

His fist begins to glow as he uses his powers to levitate Silverbolt and throw him across the area; smashing him into the ground some distance away. ?What?!? Blackarachnia states in shock at what just happened, ?When did you learn that trick?? ?You haven?t seen anything yet traitor!? Tarantulas screams.

He uses his powers to start to choke Blackarachnia from a few feet away. She cries out in pain as she struggles to break free from his grip; but his powers are too much for her to break off. Tarantulas throws his head back with tremendous laughter as he uses his powers to throw her back into the Providus?s shields.

Inside the ship; Snarl, Warpath and Wing Convoy watch the battle happening outside through the portal windows in front of the ship. ?We?ve got to help them!? Warpath cries out as he watches Blackarachnia ricochet off of the shields and lie on the ground unconscious.

?No.? Wing Convoy simply states. ?What?!? Snarl cries out in shock. Warpath looks at Wing, ?We have to?? ?Do nothing!!? Wing finishes, ??Those Maximals out there are not Maximals; they are traitors. They deserve to die traitor?s deaths!?

Elsewhere in the battlefield, Rattrap and Cheetor watch as Rhinox uses his chain guns to blast apart MegaZarak with all of his strength. ?Alright! Way to go Big Green!? Cheetor waves his weapon in the air triumphantly. ?I?d be more worried about your own welfare if I were you!? a voice calls out; and they turn to see Nemesis poised a matter of yards away from them; ready to attack.

Nemesis begins charging towards Cheetor, Rattrap and Waspinator; running at full speed. ?Time to rejoin the Matrix Maximals!? Nemesis cries out as she whips out her swords and expertly throws them into both Cheetor and Rattrap; knocking both of them flat onto their backs with her swords protruding from the bodies.

?Birdy-bot be nice to Wazpinator?? Waspinator pleads as he backs himself into a corner amongst a few boulders. Nemesis grabs the sword sticking out of Rattrap and rips it out, ?And why should I do that?!? she states as she positions the tip of the sword under Waspinator?s chin. ?Because?because?? Waspinator begins; but the words just won?t come out.

Waspinator looks up at her with sad eyes; and suddenly Nemesis?s expression grows softer. ?What are you trying to say bug-eyes?? she asks politely; slowly lowering the sword from his neck. ?Wazpinator?Wazpinator?? he stutters as he tries to stammer out the words. She looks at him adoringly; and he stares back at her in shock; and smiles happily.

Suddenly a giant gust of wind blows across the battlefield; clogging the air with a thick layer of dust and dirt. The force of the gust blows Nemesis across the battlefield away from Waspinator. ?What in the slag is going on here?!? Nemesis states as she tries to peer through the thick cloud of dust.

Slowly the air begins to clear; and three shadowy figures emerge through the dust. ?By the skidplate of Primus himself!? Wing Convoy states inside the ship as he sees the figures come into view, ?Gigatron and his forces did survive!!?

?Ah yes?it?s so good to be back!? Megatron stretches his arms as he looks out across the battlefield. ?M-M-Megatron?!? Waspinator stutters out. ?Waspinator? What are you doing here?? Megatron comments in surprise.

Just then he looks at Waspinator?s head and notices a Maximal symbol upon it. ?Oh?so you?ve decided to become a Maximal?? Megatron sneers in anger. ?No?Wazpinator not realize that Megatron survive! Wazpinator only join Maximals because?? ?SILENCE!!? Megatron screams.

?Well?it seems we have a bit of a dilemma here Waspinator?? Megatron states as he walks towards Waspinator slowly; his shadow menacingly engulfing him. ?What?s that M-Megatron?? Waspinator cowers in fear. ?I?ve been far too lenient on traitors in the past Waspinator?? he holds up the devices and charges it up, ??It?s time to prove your loyalty to the Predacons!?

?Megatron?p-p-please?? Waspinator pleads as he shakes in terror cornered by the boulders, ??Wazpinator is sorry?don?t harm Wazpinator!!? "Oh; I?m not going to harm you Waspinator; noooo?? Megatron states as he looks down at Waspinator with insane ambition, ??I?m going to extinguish your spark!!?

?M-Megatron?please?don?t!!? Waspinator pleads with Megatron; the sheer terror in his optics proving his sincerity. ?Well then; what?s it going to be Waspinator?? Megatron states as he holds up the Spark Destroyer, ??Are you going to rejoin the Predacons and fight alongside me; or are you going to stay with the Maximals and be one of them??

Waspinator, shaking in terrible fear, looks around. Just then he sees Nemesis; lying a few feet away from him. She struggles to rise; but she can?t find the strength. But her optics and Waspinator?s meet; and he stops shaking. He smiles and sighs deeply; and turns to face Megatron again, ?Megatron, I am a Maximal now!?

Megatron is taken back by this; ?What?!? He looks at Waspintor in puzzlement, ?So, you can speak in the first person now??? ?I can do anything I want to?? Waspinator begins, a tear forming in his optic. He points to Nemesis, ??She taught me that.?

?ARRGGHH!!!? Megatron screams, ?I gave you a chance; but you blew it! Now it?s time to die Waspinator! FAREWELL!!!? Megatron positions the Spark Destroyer in front of Waspinator?s body; and within a few seconds he forcibly rips Waspinator?s spark from his body; causing Waspinator?s knees to buckle; and he falls to the ground.

?NOOOOO!!!? Nemesis screams as she watches Waspinator collapse. Megatron laughs hysterically and transforms back into dragon mode and heads off towards other parts of the battlefield. She jumps to her feet and runs towards Waspinator.

?N-N-Nemesis?I?m dying?? Waspinator begins as he clutches his chest in pain. ?You dummy?you shouldn?t have stood up to Megatron like that!? she states; holding him up as she kneels down. ?Maybe?but it was the right thing to do?? he states. Suddenly he begins to cough up mech fluid; and his systems begin to shut down. ?Why?! Why did you do it?!? Nemesis begs an answer out of him as she holds him close. His voice beginst o grow weak; and she leans in close to her him whisper, ?Because?Wazpinator loves you!?

She looks at him in shock. ?Never forget Wazpinator?promise me!? Waspinator asks as he reaches to touch her face. She grabs his hand and holds it delicately, ?Nemesis never forget Wazpinator?? she lifts her veil for the first time, and they kiss.

The Spark Destroyer device makes a clicking noise, ?Well it?s about time!? Megatron calls out. But back with Nemesis; as she releases her lips from his; his optics fade out to black and his hand loses its grip of hers. She watches in sadness as his head falls back; and Waspinator dies. ?Nemesis will never forget you?? she states through her tears as she holds his dead body close to hers; unwilling to let go.

Elsewhere in the battlefield?

?Hehe! How pathetic!? Tarantulas screams as he approaches Blackarachnia who lays unconscious on the ground. ?You!!? A voice calls out from behind him; making him turn around and stare up in shock at the bot behind him.

?Megatron?!? Tarantulas cries out. ?So, Unicron?s spawn did manage to survive??? Megatron questions. ?That?s a matter of opinion!? Tarantulas retorts.

?No one does that to my beloved!? Silverbolt cries out as he rises to his feet and fires his wingtip missiles at Tarantulas; catching him totally off-guard and smashing into him.

?Ah yes?look at what we have here?? Megatron states as he grabs Silverbolt in his dragon mouth and begins to crush him. He raises the Spark Destroyer in front of his face, ??Another victim!!?

?I shall rip your spark from your still twitching corpse?do you have any last words?? Megatron asks. ?You will do no such thing; evil villain!? Silverbolt proclaims heroically, ?Your reign of villainy shall end here!? Silverbolt raises his wingtips and fires a shot directly into Megatron?s face; causing him to stumble a little.

?This shall avail you not; nooooo!!? Megatron sneers as he continues to crush Silverbolt with his dragon mouth. Silverbolt cries out in pain and struggles to break free; but Megatron stops him with a single swift movement of his hand as he positions the device over Silverbolt?s frame.

?Argh! Nooo!!!? Silverbolt screams as he wrestles to break free. ?Please?help?me!!!? he cries out; stretching his hand out.

Megatron notices this; and looks out to see what he?s reaching for. Megatron?s jaw drops in shock as he sees the Maximal ship; but more importantly someone standing inside. ?Convoy?!!!? Megatron growls in contempt.

?We?ve gotta help them sir!? Snarl states as he and Warpath stare at Wing Convoy, ?They?re being killed!! KILLED!!!? ?Do not presume to order me Snarl!!? Wing snaps as he turns to face them for a moment, ?I don?t care if they are Maximals or not. Each and every one of them tried to kill me; and I have no remorse for any bot who opposes my will?? he turns back to look out the window, ??I?m glad that Megatron is killing them. I hope he kills them all!!!?

?I wonder why he doesn?t attack?? Megatron asks himself. ?We?had?a bit?of an?argument.? Silverbolt states as he tries to break free from Megatron?s grasp. ?Ah, so I see?? Megatron states as he watches Wing Convoy nod slightly in approval and walk away from the window, ??Yes, you would have made an excellent Predacon; Wing Convoy!?

?Thank you so very much for the information; Silverbolt?? Megatron states with an evil grin, ??Now say goodbye!!? He pulls the trigger and begins to extract Silverbolt?s spark just as Blackarachnia wakes up. ?SILVERBOLT!!!? She screams as she sees his spark exit his body and enter the device, ?NOOOO!!!?

Blackarachnia gathers up her strength to lift a boulder off of the ground with her powers and throws it at Megatron. He looks up just in time to see it comes towards him; but it stops in mid-air just before hitting him. ?What?!? He asks in confusion.

?This game?s not for you Witch!? Tarantulas states as he uses his powers to send the boulder flying towards her instead; but she quickly rises to her feet to stop the boulder again in mid-air. ?Stupid female?give in!!? Tarantulas screams as he stands on the other side of the boulder; both of them trying to move it towards the other.

Her body begins to heat up as she tries to shove the boulder into both Tarantulas and Megatron; but Tarantulas resists and holds the boulder at bay in mid-air. She screams in anger and pain as she pushes the boulder back; her optics lighting on fire from the heat. But; with an evil laugh; Tarantulas takes the upper hand and manages to shove the boulder into her; causing it to explode and send her flying into the distance; breaking into pieces along the way.

?Uh Cheetor?? Rattrap begins as he looks around in terror. ?Not now!? Cheetor states as he fires upon Gigatron and Tidal Wave as they attack him and Rattrap. ?Cheetor! We?ve got a bigger problem!? Rattrap yells. ?What now?? Cheetor looks at Rattrap; and then up in shock as he sees Megatron tower over them.

?So, will you be the next to sample my power?? Megatron states as he grabs Rattrap and positions the Spark Destroyer device over his chest. ?Oh no you don?t!? Cheetor states as he turns to fire upon Megatron; but is blind-sided by missile fire from Gigatron and Tidal Wave. Rattrap squirms and tries to break free, ?Kiss my skidplate; ya stinkin? piece of slag!? ?Insults will get you no where; vermin?? Megatron states, crushing Rattrap in his dragon mouth. ?Oh yeah?you just wait until I get my blaster out!? Rattrap struggles to move; but Megatron?s grip is too tight.

?Let him go?NOW!!? a voice cries out; and Megatron turns to see Rhinox?s fist smash him square in the face; knocking him flat on his back. ?Whoo-hoo!! Big buddy! Am I glad to see you!? Rattrap shouts in happiness as he lies on the ground nearby; injured from Megatron?s attack.

?Hmm?how good it is to see you again Rhinox?? Megatron smirks, ??Perhaps you want to be the next to try out my Spark Destroyer?? ?Not a chance!!? Rhinox states as he whips out his guns and opens fire upon Megatron.

He stumbles back from the blasts; incurring severe damage from each hit. ?You?can not stop me!!!? Megatron screams as he launches a fireball from his mouth; and it engulfs Rhinox.

Elsewhere, Nemesis; still heartbroken; carries the limp corpse of Waspinator in her arms. ?Uh?boss?? Tidal Wave states as he looks behind him. ?What is it now Tidal Wave?? Gigatron asks as he shoots down Cheetor. ?What is Nemesis doing?? He asks. ?Huh??? Gigatron states in confusion, ?My word! She?s stealing the Darklight!?

They begin to run as fast as they can towards the ship just as Nemesis makes her way up the steps and into the ship. Just as she begins to raise the staircase they jump and hop aboard. ?Gigatron? Tidal Wave? Did you get my message?? Nemesis asks. ?Yes; I did?? Gigatron begins, ??I?m glad you?re end of the mission was a success. But what was all that mumbo-jumbo about Waspinator?? ?It was all true?? she states, looking upon his dead body as they take off in the ship.

?Now where are those fools going?? Megatron states as he watches the ship take off and leave. Rhinox stomps his foot into Megatron and proceeds to pick him up and hurl him into a nearby rock. ?Argh?you will pay for this Rhinox?with your very spark!!? Megatron growls as he rises to his feet and tries to grab his Spark Destroyer; but he can?t find it.

?What?s the matter Megatron; lost your new toy?? Rhinox comments as he picks Megatron up and grinds him into the shields of the Providus. Megatron?s body begins to arc with bolts of electricity as he growls in pain while Rhinox continues to shove him into the shield?s with all of his strength.

Inside the ship Wing Convoy; Snarl and Warpath are being thrown about as the shields endure the force of Megatron?s body being ground into them. ?Shield power failing; shields will deactivate in 2.9 millicycles!? Maximus states. ?Oh perfect?just when I thought Megatron was winning?? Wing Convoy states as he rushes to the controls, ??Perhaps he needs some help!?

Just then Rhinox gets shot by several blasts from the Providus?s guns; and he releases Megatron. Megatron slowly rises to his feet; parts of his face and body broken off. His body twitches with exposed wires and systems, ?That was?your last?stand?Rhinox!?

He picks up a broken piece of metal and begins to beat Rhinox with it; holding nothing back. Rhinox?s jaw gets violently torn off of his body as he tries to block Megatron?s attacks unsuccessfully.

Soon, Rhinox is almost totally destroyed and he collapses from exhaustion. Megatron looks around and locates his device again. ?Now Rhinox?DIE!!!!!?

Elsewhere, MegaZarak rises to his feet and sees Tarantulas watching Megatron battle Rhinox. ?I have a special treat for you Megatron?? Tarantulas states as he produces his blaster weapon and fires a small projectile into Megatron?s back. It lodges into one of Megatron?s wings and gets absorbed into his body, and Tarantulas laughs when he senses something behind him. ?You!? They both cry out at the same time as MegaZarak stands a few feet away from him. Tarantulas quickly transforms into spider mode and runs away as MegaZarak runs after him; shaking his fist in anger the whole way.

Rhinox lies on the ground; his body racked with pain as he tries to stand up to fight Megatron; but he falls back down from exhaustion. ?You fought well Rhinox?too bad you have to die now!!!? Megatron states as he aims the device at Rhinox?s chest and begins to extract his spark. Rhinox tries to resist; but he?s too weak.

But just as Rhinox?s spark enters the device; two laser blasts broadside Megatron; sending him flying into the ground. ?What?!? He cries out as he sees the battle damaged Optimus stand a few yards away. ?But how?!? Megatron cries out. ?This ends now Megatron!!!!? Primal shouts as he opens fire upon Megatron. Soon the other Maximals join in; and Megatron growls in contempt.

?This is never over Primal?? Megatron begins as he transforms into his dragon mode, ??For now you have the death of several of your Maximals to deal with. Now you have incurred the dragon?s wrath!!!?

Optimus and the others continue to fire upon Megatron; even after he?s out of range. Finally Primal stops after he feels someone tap on his leg. ?What?!? Primal shouts in anger. ?Look?? Rattrap states in sorrow as he points to the body of Silverbolt.

?Oh no?? Primal begins as he looks at Silverbolt?s dead chassis. Just then he hears a noise. ?RHINOX?!? Primal shouts in shock and horror as he sees the badly damaged body of Rhinox.

Megatron will pay for this!!? Primal growls. ?No?? Rhinox states as he tries to reach for Primal?s leg; stopping him from leaving. ??Please?stay here?Optimus?I?don?t have?much time?? Rhinox sputters out as his jaw hangs on by only a few wires. ?Rhinox?I?m sorry?? Primal states as he holds him up. ??Don?t be?.sorry?you?did?all?you?could?? Rhinox begins, ??You did?your?best?? ?Rhinox! Don?t die on me!!!? Primal screams. ??It?s too?late Optimus?? Rhinox blinks one final time; the sadness in his voice growing as his voice begins to fade, ??Goodbye?Optimus?goodbye?old friend??

Rhinox?s head falls back as his optics fade to black. ?Is he?? Cheetor asks as he rushes over Rhinox?s side. ?Yup?? Rattrap begins as he holds up Rhinox?s limp arm, ??He?s dead. Gone?.? Rattrap pounds his fists into the ground, ?HE?S DEAD!!!!?

?No?no?this can?t be?? Primal states; the confusion and overwhelming feelings building up inside of him. He arches his head back and throws his arms into the air; and in one loud feral scream of frustration lets it all out, ?MEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!?



To be continued?.?

oooooooooooooooooooo, very nice. More MORE!!!

"MEEEEEETTTAAAAALLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!", Cries Billy Bad Ass as he types out this exact sentence in excitment after reading the Season Finale..

Just then he reminisces about the scene where Megatron rips out Waspinator's spark - Waspinator pleading - Our comic-relief character.. crying? And dead?
Sure, we BW fans have seen Waspy whine and moan - even seen him flattened a few times - but now he's dead.. the laughter has died..

At least we still have Rattrap - ha!

And what's with this Darklight??
"To be continued?" Damn skippy!

Moving on.. Wing Convoy.
This guy, man.. Can someone please pull out the stick outta his ass?
First he does nothing to help the Maximals - then his first action is to shoot Rhinox.. Wing is going to get it, no doubt about that - it would be a travesty if he didn't.

BTW, Snarl and Warpath are as much of an asstard as Wing.. Stand up, guys - do something!!

Tarantulus - he's not done yet.. nothing left to comment about him - he's not done enough damage.. yet.

You totally did a bang-up job with this one, MS!! The action was great - you sold me on it. At points I was invisioning as a comicbook and other times as a cartoon.
The battlefield scene was awesome - moreso when Megs and Tarantulus just arrive - I was waiting for the reunion.. especially with Megs and Wing - Wing's nod - that bastard.

The death of Rhinox - good bye old friend..
Oh, and Silverbolt's dead, too - yeah.. hehe.

So with that, Waspinator, Rhinox, and Silverbolt are dead.. hmm..
Beast Machines, anyone?

.billy

I agree about the Beast Machines comment. I think Metal Sam was trying to explain how Beast Machines Megs got the sparks of those 3 for his vehicon generals

Yeah...it was kind of his "last stand" against Megatron...and it was kind of cool for that "glitch" he had in Nemesis Pt. 2 where he speaks in the first person kind-of play out finally.

BillyBadAss wrote:At least we still have Rattrap - ha!

Yeah...but he was nearly killed by Megatron too...kind of to throw off the ending...which I will discuss at the end here.

BillyBadAss wrote:And what's with this Darklight??

Ah...at last we find out the name of the ship that Gigatron, Tidal Wave and Nemesis came in on...

BillyBadAss wrote:"To be continued?" Damn skippy!

Had to do a famous season finale line to tie into Beast Wars .

Yeah...everyone thought that he was going to be the big hero; being one of the three members of the Maximal High Council; but instead he turns out to be what could be arguibly the biggest villian of the series (right up there with Megatron; maybe even worse ).

BillyBadAss wrote:BTW, Snarl and Warpath are as much of an asstard as Wing.. Stand up, guys - do something!!

They are afraid of Wing Convoy...he's got his troops so demoralized and into such "Yes sir!" order-taking-drone-like states that they are very reluctant to do anything against Wing...

Wing only likes perfection; and anything less is either treason or complete failure.

BillyBadAss wrote:Tarantulus - he's not done yet.. nothing left to comment about him - he's not done enough damage.. yet.

True...but he did do one thing that will play a critical role in events to come...

Anyone remember that thing he shot into Megatron before he was surprised and chased by MegaZarak? Uh-huh...there's more to that little event than meets the eye...

BillyBadAss wrote:You totally did a bang-up job with this one, MS!! The action was great - you sold me on it. At points I was invisioning as a comicbook and other times as a cartoon.

Same here. I would love to see this made into a comic or cartoon...just the battle scene alone would be worth it!!!

Sure Wing and Megatron had their differences in the past...but like Megatron said; "You would have made an excellent Predacon, Wing Convoy!"

Oh, and Silverbolt's dead, too - yeah.. hehe.

So with that, Waspinator, Rhinox, and Silverbolt are dead.. hmm..
Beast Machines, anyone?

Hmm...

Nothing gets past you guys...



Yeah...that's what happens...but how it happens is something truly amazing. It's not just the simple fact that Megatron has killed these three; it's how they come back too...






Thanks for the comments Billy and Dark_Fool!!!

Not a bad fanfic, I'm finding myself enjoying it quite a bit much.

Oh, one question: Is this going to wind up in the mythological times eventually or is it post-BW all the way until they leave? And when are we going to see the rest of the cast? I'm wondering what you're going to do with Desraco.

Alpha_&_Omega wrote:the problem with megatron getting the 3 sparks for his generals now is that waspinator flys back to cyberton on his own and rhinox and silverbolt are both abord the autobot shuttle when they return to cybertron at the begining of beast machines. My guess is that they'll come back in some new mythological beast form after primal gets their sparks back some how. very good thus far.

Yes...this is true. And that will be reflected in the story; this is going to be as show-accurate as possible.

Your guess is semi-accurate...they will be coming back; and in new forms; but they won't be mythological (I can't say anything else though).

Well...originally this was going to go into mythological times; but I decided against that since I'm going to make this is a series-spanner (BW to BM); and it's only 2 seasons long (with Season 1 already over).

And with that; that means that the other characters won't be appearing...there might be a couple of other characters making debuts; but not many.

Most of the designs and characters are going to be used in shin's "official" Myth Wars story.

Unless I decide elsewise; that's how it stands.

Thanks for your comments!

Man, this is good stuff!

now, I'm curious about season 2!

only minor crits- some spelling stuff, and sometimes, its hard to tell whos talking...

but I figure it out, so all in all very good.

I'm hoping Season 2 will be as good as this one...I'll guess we will just have to wait and see...

Yeah...I know about the spelling errors...I try to correct most of them myself; but every once in a while I'll miss something.

As for the "who's talking" thing; I guess it's just my writing style. I try to make it vary instead of 'he said this; she said that; they said this' repetition-style writing; and that can sometimes lead to confusion (which I am sorry for).

But I'm glad you like it!

Who knows; maybe I'll add another season onto Myth Wars...depends upon if I have enough of a storyline to fill up another season .

Thanks again TGping!

I've read the whole season, and I LOVE it! The Dinobot thing was kind of cheesy, but I love the development you have going on here.

And it's unanimous: Wing Convoy is an ass.

Yeah...in retrospect it didn't work out as well as I had planned; but believe me; I will be making up for it in this Season!!

Also; in this season; many of the elements of Beast Machines will come into light; and be played out and explained!

Oh; you have no idea of what's coming...





Oh, and here it is: The Season Premiere!

Chapter 14/Episode 66!!






'Myth Wars': Episode 66: "Premonitions from the Past: Part 1: Death is only the beginning?":





?NOOOO!!!!? Optimus screams as he slams his fists into the ground; totally distraught over the death of Rhinox.

?How are?the others?? Optimus asks with a shaky voice; trying to get a hold of himself. ?They didn?t make it either Bigbot?? Cheetor comments quietly as he stands above Silverbolt?s dead body.

?Silverbolt?!? Optimus cries out in shock. ?I?m not sure if she made it or not Optimus?? Rattrap begins as he holds up the broken remnants of Blackarachnia?s shattered body, ??But it don?t look good.?

?No, not you too!? Optimus clenches his fists in anger; trying to maintain control. ?Oh Optimus! What?re we gonna do?!? Rattrap cries out.

Optimus squints with vengeance and slams his fists together, ?Megatron will pay!!!?

?Cheetor; you?ll be in charge until I return!? Optimus commands in a booming voice as he transforms into his jet mode and takes off after Megatron.

?Well?what do we do now?? Rattrap asks. Cheetor rubs his chin lightly, ??We need to get inside the Providus.?

?What?! Has this new promotion gone straight to yer head?? Rattrap yells, ??Wing Convoy?s in der; and he ain?t just gonna let us back in!?

?I know?? Cheetor smirks lightly, ??But he?s got the equipment we need to get our pals back!? ?Eh?? Rattrap comments; noticing the smirk; and then nods silently a moment later.

Meanwhile, inside the Providus?

?YES!? Wing screams in triumph, ?The traitor?s have finally paid the price for their crimes against me; or better yet; their crimes against Cybertron!?

?Oh?? Warpath rubs his head in pain as he slowly rises to his feet, ??Anyone catch the number of the Predacon freightliner that just ran into me??

He looks down to see Snarl still lying on the ground; knocked unconscious.

?Well you didn?t miss too much Warpath.? Wing Convoy begins, ?The Maximals were attacked by Megatron?he killed most of them regrettably??

?WHAT?!? Warpath cries out. ?You mean Megatron killed all of them? And you let him?? ?No?you don?t understand Warpath?? Wing Convoy begins, ??Sure; I was originally against helping them. I was upset with them for attacking me; but once I seen Megatron?s true plan; I knew that I had to act. I have a duty as a member of the High Council to protect all Maximals and uphold our ideals; no matter the cost.?

?So what did you do?? Warpath asks, a little suspicious. ?I tried to use our cannons to blast Megatron; but?? he looks away in shame, ??but I missed.?

Warpath stares at him in blank shock. ?You missed?!? he asks. ?Yes?and regrettably Megatron killed almost all of the Maximals??

Warpath hangs his head in shame; unsure of what to say next. Finally he sighs loudly; making his feelings known without disrespecting Wing. ?You sure aren?t making a good role model for me sir?? he states solemnly and exits the room.

?Huh?? Wing quietly mutters to himself, ??No matter. All that matters is that the traitors are finally dead; and now no one can stand in my way!!!?

Elsewhere?

?Perfect! Now Megatron?s going to think that we abandoned him!? Gigatron yells as they speed away in the Darklight.

?Ah will you shut up?!? Nemesis screams, ??That?s the fifth time you?ve said that! We get it!? ?I?m still your leader and commanding officer Nemesis; don?t you forget that!? Gigatron retorts.

Tidal Wave sits in the front; transformed into his Kraken mode. ?Boss?? he begins, ??What are we going to do now?? ?Glad you asked?? Gigatron states as he makes his way towards the front of the ship.

?Beast mode!!? Gigatron calls out as he transforms into a hydra. ?You see?? one of his heads begins, ??Megatron told me that?? another head says, ??there were more stasis pods inside the downed Autobot shuttle?? the next head states, ??so we are going to try to find that shuttle?? the next head states, ??and turn those protoforms into Predacons!!? another head finishes.

Nemesis watches from the back of the shuttle as the two Predacons laugh together. She turns to a computer in the ship and pulls up designs for various Decepticons and Predacons with new alt modes.

As she scrolls through the designs she stops on Shockwave; made into a new Cyclops alt mode. ?Why would Gigatron want to make all of the new Predacons into mythological creatures? And why would Megatron go along with his plan?? she asks herself quietly.

She looks away from the computer; and stares down at the beaten and lifeless body of Waspinator lying on the floor. ?Whatever the reason?? she begins as she whips out her swords, ??I?ll make sure that they don?t succeed; and they will pay for what they did to you!!?

Meanwhile...

Tarantulas runs as fast as he can in spider mode when he senses something. He suddenly steps to the side as MegaZarak plunges his sword right into the ground right where Tarantulas was.

?Hehe?you?re gonna to have to be faster than that!? Tarantulas mocks. ?You may have changed since we last met Tarantulas,? MegaZarak begins as he rips his sword out of the ground, ?But you?re still no match for a Decepticon like me!?

?Excellent?just what I needed?? Tarantulas comments quietly, ??A true test of my power!?

?Tarantulas?TERRORIZE!!? he calls out as he transforms into robot mode and whips out his lances. ?Finally?you stand fight me coward!? MegaZarak sneers as he assumes a battle stance.

?What did you just call me?? Tarantulas asks, clenching his fists in anger. ?You heard me! All you?ve done is run and hide from me ever since the Antagony crashed!? MegaZarak yells. Tarantulas?s fists begin to glow an angry red, ?No one calls me that!?

Tarantulas uses his powers to levitate MegaZarak off of the ground; and slams him into the ground head first. Tarantulas laughs as he takes his daggers and throws them into MegaZarak. They dig in; and he roars in pain. Tarantulas finishes by using his powers to rip his daggers out of MegaZarak and MegaZarak out of the ground and launches him far off into the distance.

?Fool?? Tarantulas begins as he picks up his daggers off of the ground. Just then he hears the sound of jet engines and sees Optimus Primal zoom past him high above.

?Hmm?? Tarantulas thinks as he rubs his chin. He transforms into spider mode and quickly rushes off; trailing Optimus on the ground.

Back with Optimus Primal?

?Target within 10 clicks!? his onboard computer informs him as he sees Megatron just off in the distance; flying away slowly in dragon mode from damage and the weight of the Spark Destroyer. ?Not soon enough!? Primal cries out; firing his foot thrusters to maximum and taking off in a stream of fire.

Far ahead Megatron hears something; similar to a loud jet engine far off in the distance growing closer. He bends his neck and looks back to see a pair of missiles close in on him and slam into him with awesome force.

?Arrrggghhh!!? he cries out as he tumbles through the air; his right wing severely damaged from the missiles. ?You?re gonna pay Megatron!!? Optimus transforms and shakes his fist at Megatron as he hovers high above.

?Ha! You can not destroy me Primal!!? Megatron yells as he launches a fireball from his mouth that engulfs Optimus and sends him into a downward spiral.

They both smash into the ground with tremendous and terrifying thuds only seconds apart; filling the canyon that they crashed into with a thick layer of dust and debris.

Optimus shakes his head; slowly pushing himself up from the canyon floor. Suddenly, he looks off to his right to see something slowly manifest through the dust; silhouetted from behind by the dim light of the early morning sun.

?So, it all comes down to this Optimus Primal?a one on one battle; the last epic battle of two great warriors; the final stand of good against evil?? Megatron states, emerging through the dust like an indestructible war machine.

He marches towards Optimus, and transforms into robot mode. ?There will be no more deaths?never again!? Optimus cries out, pushing himself up and rising to his feet.

?Death is only the beginning! I am Alpha and Omega; I am all that was and ever shall be! I am the master of my destiny; and I shall conquer and rule all!? Megatron declares, staring down Optimus as he crosses the broken and brittle canyon floor; making his way towards Optimus.

?It ends here and now Megatron?it?s over!? Optimus screams, extending his chest cannons. ?IT IS NEVER OVER!!? Megatron retorts, launching a fireball at him.

Optimus side-steps the fireball. ?You?re mad!? He cries out. ?Insanity is a point of view, Optimal Optimus, given by an outsider who does not understand the reality of the situation!? Megatron cleverly retorts.

?Why are you doing this?!? Optimus asks, practically pleading with him. ?I?m tired of failures! I?m tried of treachery! And I?m especially tired of you interfering with my plans! THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME!? Megatron screams in anger.

?As long as my spark still burns inside my body I will never let you win!? Optimus states defiantly. ?Just like how you stopped me from killing Silverbolt and Rhinox?? Megatron smirks as he delivers those fateful words.

Optimus screams with rage and lunges at Megatron; extending his fist out in front of him. But with great speed Megatron jumps back and lands on top of him; grinding his heel into the wound on Optimus?s back from Gigatron?s lance.

?So?the great Optimus has a breaking point?? Megatron smiles as he stares down at Optimus. ?Never again Megatron! You shall harm another life AGAIN!? Optimus screams as he pushes himself off of the ground; throwing Megatron off of him.

?Oh you just watch me Primal?oh yessss!!? Megatron grins as he rises again. ?MEGATRON!!!? Optimus screams as he turns to face his nemesis again.

?That?s it Primal; get angry. It?ll make your death so much more FUN!!? Megatron laughs as he watches Optimus stomp towards him. ?You want fun Megatron?? Optimus asks sarcastically as he gives Megatron a powerful uppercut; lifting him off of the ground and sending him reeling back.

Megatron smashes into the ground a short distance away; clearly injured from Primal?s fist. ?That wasn?t very Maximal like Optimus?I see you?re letting your emotions get the better of you?? Megatron comments as he slowly backs away from the still advancing Optimus.

?You will not win Megatron?I?ll never let you kill another bot AGAIN!!? Optimus growls as he grinds his fist into his other palm. ?Oh really? That?s just what I would have expected from a cowardly gorilla like yourself!? Megatron retorts as he painfully rises to his feet.

?ARRRGGGGHHHH!!? Optimus screams; trying to maintain control. ?Come on Primal say it?say just how much you want to kill me! Become like me; become that which you hate most!! SAY IT!!!? Megatron taunts.

Optimus grabs his head in pain, ?Never?.I will not?be?like?you!!?

?HA! You have no choice Maximal scum! I can feel the anger building inside of you; just waiting for that moment when you will let it all explode in a fury unlike that which has never been seen before!!? Megatron urges him on; laughing with insane delight.

?Stop!! MEGATRON!!!? Optimus screams. ?No!! You will say it! I will be victorious!!? Megatron states, marching towards Optimus. ?Never!!? Optimus shakes with pain; trying to keep control of his emotions.

?Come on Primal!! Say it!! You want to kill me; with every ounce of your being?after all; it would avenge for the deaths of Rhinox and Silverbolt?? Megatron smiles and laughs a little.

?Leave them out of this!? Optimus screams. ?NO! You should have heard them beg and plead for their lives?they begged Primal; but I tore out their sparks and I enjoyed every nano-click of it!!? Megatron throws his head back with insane glee and laughs loudly.

?ARRRGGGHHHH!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!? Optimus cries out; smashing his fists into the ground. ?Oh yes!! You should have seen the look of sheer terror as I ripped the still pulsating spark from Silverbolt?s corpse!? the glow in Megatron?s optics grows brighter with every moment of torture he inflicts upon Optimus.

?NOOOOOO!!!!! WHY?!?!? Optimus cries out; holding his head in tremendous pain. ?Because you need to see that you are wrong. I am true power; and you will kneel before me and worship your true master!!? Megatron states, a certain air of triumph in his voice.

?You?you?re insane Megatron! You?re making yourself out to be a god!? Optimus stares at Megatron in fear.

?I am a god! I am the only god! Unicron has nothing on me!! There are worse things in this universe than Unicron?oh yesss!!!? Megatron smirks with delight and laughs lightly.

?You must be stopped!? Optimus proclaims. ?Don?t make me laugh Primal?you couldn?t possibly stop me?not any more!? Megatron laughs as he mocks the severely damaged and exhausted Optimus.

?I may not be able to stop you; but I?m not going to give up either!? Optimus states sternly, rising to a fully erect stance again. Megatron flaunts his hand at Optimus, making a face at him, ?Spare me the lecture Primal! You never had the guts to kill me; you were always too afraid?you disgust me Maximal scum!!?

?Alright Megatron; if that?s what you want; then so be it!? Optimus breathes deep; letting go of all control.

?Finally! I knew I would triumph! Hehehe-hahahaha!!? Megatron raises his arms in triumph.

And with that Optimus extends his chest cannons again and opens fire upon Megatron. Megatron quickly jumps out of the way and races towards Optimus; slamming into him at full force.

Megatron continues running with Optimus and smashes him into the canyon wall; starting a minor cave-in that buries Optimus. ?Ha?I thought you?d put up more of a fight than that!?

But as Megatron begins to walk away, he hears a slight rumbling and turns to see Optimus burst out of the massive pile of rocks. ?You haven?t seen anything yet Megatron!? Optimus cries out as he lifts up a huge boulder and hurls it at Megatron.

Still in shock at Optimus?s survival; Megatron watches helplessly as the boulder plows into him; blasting apart upon impact and skidding him across the canyon floor.

?No more chances Megatron?? Optimus yells as he picks Megatron up with both hands and raises him high above his head, ??You?re going down this time!!? Optimus; with all of his might; flings Megatron across the vast span of the canyon and into the wall on the other side.

?Arrrggghhhh!!!? Megatron cries out as he collides with the wall; and the canyon begins to collapse in around him as he lies on the ground.

?You can not defeat me Primal!!!? Megatron roars as he blasts the rocks with his dragon breath; and punches the others into tiny pieces with his other fist. Optimus stares in wonder as Megatron rises yet again.

Just then Megatron suddenly begins to transform into dragon. ?What?!? he cries out; unable to stop the transformation.

?Excellent?? Tarantulas states; high above them on the canyon rim, ??Just as I had anticipated. My little device has made Megatron automatically transform when he loses control of his emotions?now no one can stop me!? He laughs with happiness and transforms into spider mode and quickly races off.

?Argh! Noooo!!? Megatron screams as he stands in his dragon mode; unsure of what?s happening. ?Looks like you lose this time Megatron!? Optimus points at him; driving home the point.

?Oh no Primal?? Megatron begins, ??Megatron?TERRORIZE!!? He screams as he transforms back into robot mode and rushes towards Optimus.

The two race towards each other; and in one epic movement; Optimus arches his arm back and smashes into Megatron?s face; breaking his head into pieces as his fist plows through almost in slow motion.

Megatron collapses to the ground; his body flopping to the ground and bouncing lightly as Optimus stumbles and barely stops in mid-run.

He takes a few steps back; and stands above the broken and beaten body of Megatron. ?Finally?it?s over.? He states; and begins to walk away.

?No?? a voice calls out from behind him; and Optimus turns to see Megatron still barely functional lying on the ground staring up at him. His face is nearly gone; but his voice processor manages to spit out a few last words: ?Evil is eternal?you are not! Farewell Optimal Optimus!!?

And with that Megatron loads a missile into his dragon mouth and fires it at Optimus at nearly point-blank range; the explosion blowing Optimus into a shower of thousands of tiny pieces; leaving only a few tiny pieces lying on the ground.

?Now Optimus?? Megatron begins as he feels his essence wane from his body, ??it is over??

And a light mist of snow begins to fall into the canyon as Megatron goes offline and dies.







Tarantulas has infected Megatron?s body with a virus that affects his transformation; this and all of the built up anger from the past events as well as the Beast Wars have led to Optimus and Megatron killing each other in one final climatic battle. What will happen next?

Will Cheetor and Rattrap be able to get inside the Providus? And what is next on the twisted agenda of Wing Convoy? What will Tarantulas do next? Will the Predacons in the Darklight find the downed Autobot shuttle; filled with blank protoforms?



Keep watchin?

now that was good reading

Nice. Can't wait for more!

Uh-huh...and when you see what happens in the next chapter you'll really see why Megatron's agenda did a total 180 and completely changed; and the start of the his BM agenda!

Alpha_&_Omega wrote:....like it. i do think that some of rattrap's dialong was more bm, than bw, but what ever, if you could find a way to explain why he went from third in commad to bottom of the barrel, i'd be interested.

Oooh good; you did notice!

The death of Rhinox and the other Maximals really had a strong affect on him; and he's slowly changing...

Also, notice how Optimus appointed Cheetor commander during his absence...this will kind of "go to his head" ... .

But yes; all will be explained...the change to their Beast Machines personalities has begun!


Thanks again A_&_O for your comments!




BTW, the next chapter will be up this Sunday!

Alright...it's update time!




Note that in this chapter a lot happens; both in terms of character and plot development; so be sure to catch it all!




And on that note; here it is! Chapter 15/Episode 67!!






'Myth Wars' MetalSamamon's Version: Episode 67: "Premonitions from the Past: Part 2: In Darkness and in Light?":






?So, just how do you expect us to get inside the Providus without ol? High and Mighty spotting us?? Rattrap asks with a laugh. ?I don?t?? Cheetor begins, ?...He?s going to know we?re there.?

?You got yer wires crossed there pussycat?? Rattrap yells, ?He?s not going to just let us use the restoration equipment!? ?I know Rattrap; but I?m not after his restoration equipment?I?m after him!? Cheetor smirks.

?Oh now this I?ve gotta see!? Rattrap comments as he follows Cheetor towards the Providus.

Meanwhile?

?Slag! You mean that this ship?s still not working?!? Fenrir screams as he punches a nearby wall.

?Give me a break! We?ve been working on repairs as much as we can!? Six-Shot retorts, ?With you getting blown up and our attack on the Maximals we?ve been delayed!?

?I don?t care how long it takes; or what you have to do?but get this Decepticon warbird airborne again!!? Fenrir screams in disgust and storms off. Six-Shot makes a rude gesture with his hand behind Fenrir?s back as he leaves the room.

?Well, what?s the situation?? Myrimidon asks, standing next to the others outside the ship. ?We need to get this hunk of ancient tech into the air again,? Six-Shot begins, ?Fenrir?s got a plan that he just told me about; and it?s nothing short of Doomsday!?

Elsewhere?

?Beginning DNA scanning sequence?? A stasis pod?s onboard computer states as a scanning tower extends out of it. But as two gold colored waves fan out from the tower, a giant shadow engulfs the pod.

?Oooh?look at what we have here?? a menacing voice states with a tone of instability, ??Dinner!?

Elsewhere, in a place far away from Earth?

?Where am I?? a voice states; echoing in a vast black expanse of emptiness.

All of a sudden the whole place explodes in a burst of white light, and the form of Optimal Optimus is revealed; shielding his optics from the bright light filling the void.

?Welcome back to the Matrix; Optimus Primal?? A sexless voice states; it?s sound reverberating and echoing; but still loud and powerful.

?The Matrix?!? Optimus states in confusion, ?But that means?? ?Yes?you are offline?? the voice states, ?...You?re physical form was destroyed by Megatron as you battled him in a canyon on Earth.?

?Hmm?seems I have a nasty habit of dying?? Optimus mutters sarcastically. The voice seems to ignore Primal?s attempt at humor, ?We have summoned you here for an important mission?? ?Oh?? Optimus states; suddenly listening intently.

?It has long been a mission of ours to restore Cybertron to it?s once and former glory. We know that at one time in it?s distant past Cybertron was organic; made so by a being known as Alpha Quintesson. He and his brethren inhabited Cybertron long before the first Transformers inhabited the planet. But, as it often happens, peace turns into war as Primus came upon Cybertron. His form utterly destroyed by Unicron; Primus put his essence into the planet of Cybertron; and reformatted it into the technology world it remained for many eons. He created us and the first 13 Transformers; and they exiled the Quintessons to a remote planet far away; their home world of Quintessa.? The voice explains.

?Who are you, and how do you know all this?? Optimus asks as he floats around inside the void. ?We are the Oracle; and we know all?past, present, and future.?

?What is it you want me to do?? Optimus asks. ?Certain events will happen between now and a global era of peace on Cybertron?we need you to make sure that the balance is found on Cybertron; we need you to act as our vessel and ensure that perfection is found.?

Optimus nods, ?I will do it!? ?We thank you, Optimus Primal. We knew you wouldn?t fail us.? The Oracle?s presence leaves, leaving Optimus floating in the black void he was in before. ?So?the Oracle must want me to restore the organic to Cybertron?? Optimus suddenly looks up in shock, ?That?s it! That?s why we were chosen to fight those wars on prehistoric Earth! We needed to bring back the organic in our bodies to help restore Cybertron! It all makes sense now!?

Back on Earth?

?DNA sequencers malfuncitioning?scanning and replication unable to function properly?? the pod states as it shakes uncontrollably. ?Hmm?? the figure thinks, ??This spark is unique. It shares in my pain. Perhaps I will let it survive.?

The figures clenches his fist in front of him, ?Yes?fight your way free?your spark is in pain?like mine?? The towering figure states as he reaches out towards the pod.

His fist begins to glow as he sends a beam of light into the pod. ?Reformatting information accepted. Beginning replication process??The pod states as the shaking starts to subside, and the pod hatch depressurizes, and a long black leg emerges out of the pod.

?Perfect?how lovely indeed?? the figure laughs as it towers over the new creature now fully out of the pod. ?You?I know you?? the new born bot states, still in beast mode. ?Your name is Rampage.?

?Yes, that?s what I?m called now?? he moves his mandibles in happiness, ??And you would be??? ?My name is Dreadnought?? she smiles in her new form of a nightmare horse.

?So, why am I in this odd beast form?? She asks, noticing that her fur is on fire but it?s not burning. ?I used my powers to reformat you?and your form is from one I had once seen in a dream I had?it only seemed too perfect to use!? Rampage nods approvingly.

?Interesting?? she states. ?Indeed.? Rampage replies as he watches her rear up on her back legs. ?Dreadnought?TERRORIZE!!? she screams as she transforms into robot mode.

?Perfect!? Rampage snickers as he examines her in her robot mode. ?So, does that mean I owe my life to you?? Dreadnought asks. ?You are correct?? Rampage states, ??But you don?t have to worry about repaying your debt to me?all I ask is that you join me in my quest to acquire sparks??

?Acquire sparks?? she asks. ?Yes?when the Vok captured what was left of my spark from the remains of the reborn Dinobot when he died in the Nemesis; they used their own wretched essence to complete the missing portion that was destroyed by Depth Charge?and now I need sparks to survive; to remain functional?? Rampage explains.

?Wow?that?s quite the story Rampage?? she states with an insane grin, ??But luckily for you I enjoy pain and torture. Eating sparks sounds like fun!!?

Back inside the Matrix?

?What is this place?!? Megatron screams as he floats around inside an empty vacuum, separated from Optimus. "You're inside the Matrix?communing with the Oracle." a mystical voice replies.

"Huh?and what possible good could this serve me?" Megatron retorts; a tone of disgust readily apparent. "There is something that we wish to ask you." the voice starts.

"Yessss?.?" Megatron tries to provoke the voice; and succeeds. "Why do you concern yourself with appeasing the Tripredacus Council?" it asks him.

"What?!" Megatron mutters in shock. "Why do you try to fulfill their dreams?why not fulfill your own?" the voice asks.

Megatron remains silent for a moment; but finally responds, "Because I intend to help the Predacons take back their rightful place as rulers of Cybertron!" "That is your dream Reznotron; not theirs?"

"What did you call me?!" Megatron utters in extreme shock. "We are more than aware of your new name of Megatron?but deep down inside you are still Reznotron. You share his ambitions and goals.?

?I left that monicker back on Cybertron?I am now and forever shall be Megatron!? he growls in contempt.

?Very well then Megatron?? the Oracle begins, ?A name is nothing more than something for others to identify you by?that is why a being now in your time has taken on our name. She uses it in much the same way you use the original Megatron?s.?

?Is there a point to all this?? Megatron asks, growing a little irritated. ?There is a point to every action, Megatron. There is something we wish to ask of you; something we need you to do for us.? ?Bah! Megatrons do not take orders; we give them!? Megatron retorts in anger.

?Perhaps?but this will be an offer you can not refuse?? the Oracle states, causing Megatron to get a look of uncertainty; but at the same time a look of intrigue. ?Tell me more?? he states.

Back with Rattrap and Cheetor?

?And that?s the plan. Can you help us?? Cheetor asks. ?Sure, but are you sure that it will work?? Snarl states, standing next to Warpath outside the ship as they momentarily stop repairs on the ship. ?It had better; it?s our only chance!? Rattrap comments. ?Then count us in!? Warpath nods, and opens a channel to Wing Convoy.

?Sir?this is Warpath. Do you copy?? He asks over the intercom. ?This is Wing Convoy. What?s the status of the ship?s repairs?? he asks. ?Everything is going well; but there are a few more parts I need to get. Can you lower the shields and let me and Snarl back in??

?No problem. But next time don?t step outside of the shield boundary?you know that they only let you out and not back in!? Wing comments as he presses a button.

Outside the ship; the shields lower and the automated defenses are lowered and retracted back into the ship. ?So far so good.? Cheetor comments as they makes their way into the open door on the ship.

?WING! HELP US!? Warpath cries out as they enter the ship. Wing whips around to see Cheetor and Rattrap holding their guns up to Warpath and Snarl?s heads; their fingers on the triggers.

?By the skidplate of Primus himself! What?s going on here?? Wing yells. ?They ambushed us on the way in?? Warpath states; faking terror as Cheetor presses his blaster against Warpath?s head.

?We need access to your restoration equipment Convoy?? Rattrap sneers. ?Yeah, and if you don?t you?ll be short two crew members!? Cheetor adds in.

?Oh, so you think that you can just waltz in here and order me around?? Wing smirks as he presses a button and activates Maximus. Gun ports suddenly drop out of the ceiling; and Cheetor and Rattrap drop their jaws in shock.

?Maximus program unable to acquire targets?deactivating?? the ship announces, and the guns retract back into the ceiling. ?WHAT?!? Wing screams, looking around in confusion.

?Still feeling lucky Convoy?? Rattrap mocks.

?Arghh!? Wing growls in contempt, ??There must be another way!? ?Please Wing?? Snarl pleads, ??Help us.?

Wing clenches his fists for a long moment; and finally slams his foot into the ground. ?Fine! You win; you stinking pieces of no-good Maximal-wannabe scum!?

Cheetor and Rattrap slowly release Warpath and Snarl; and they quickly run away from them and behind Wing Convoy.

?Warpath and Snarl?? Wing states slowly. ?What?? Warpath asks. ??Go get the damaged Maximals,? Wing sighs in defeat, ??Bring them inside and begin their restoration.?

They nod and make their way out of the ship. ?Geesh?I thought it?d be harder than that.? Rattrap comments. ?Oh, but it is?? Wing smirks, ??For I know that this is all just a silly little game. Your comrades are dead; and restoring their bodies won?t help you bring them back!? Wing throws his head back in laughter.

?That?s where you come in.? Cheetor slyly states; as he and Rattrap target their guns at him. ?Huh?? Wing states in confusion, and before he has a chance to react he is tackled by the two Maximals.

?Get off of me!!? Wing screams as he wrestles on the ground with them; and manages to pin Rattrap against the floor. But as he begins to punch Rattrap, Cheetor kicks him and sends him flying across the room.

They quickly rush over to him while he?s down, and Cheetor picks him up and pins his arms behind his back. ?We need your help Convoy?? Rattrap comments as he grabs a small connection cord from his waist and attaches it to Wing, ??and you?re going to help us; whether you like it or not!?

Back with Rampage?

?So, who will be our first victim?? Dreadnought asks as she walks alongside Rampage. ?We?re going to go see an old friend?one who was resurrected along with me by the Vok?? Rampage snickers and laughs cruelly.

Back inside the Matrix?

?Oracle?are you still here?? Optimus calls out. ?We are...? The Oracle responds, ??What is it you wish to ask of us?? ?If I?m here; where?s Megatron?? Optimus asks.

?He is here as well?but you are in a different section of the Matrix than he is.? It responds. ?I see?? Optimus comments, ??And what of Rhinox and the others? Are they here?? ?That depends upon your definition of here?? the Oracle responds, leaving Optimus stupefied.

Back with Cheetor and Rattrap on Earth?

Wing Convoy howls in pain as Cheetor restrains him. ?Ah quit yer whining?? Rattrap comments, ??It?s the least you deserve, ya stinkin? hunk of slag!?

?Is it working?? Cheetor asks. ?I think so?? Rattrap begins, ??he?s got a strong firewall. I?m having a hard time breaking through to interface with him...? ?Well, just keep trying. Whether we like it or not, he?s our only hope to get Rhinox and Silverbolt back. We don?t have a choice?? Cheetor comments.

Inside Wing?s mind, Rattrap flies through the twisted maze and network of paths that lead towards Wing?s central process unit and command center. Several obstacles and puzzles confront Rattrap; but he easily overcomes them; and as he does a new tunnel opens up which leads to another puzzle.

?Finally!? Rattrap cries out as he finds the end of one of the tunnels and enters a large room inside Wing?s mind.

It?s decorated in murals of great Cybertronian leaders; and in the center is a large floating, glowing orb of light. ?That?s it!? Rattrap states as he reaches out for it.

As Rattrap touches the object; Cheetor sees Wing Convoy?s chest begin to open as he hears gears grind and move inside. ?It?s true?? Cheetor comments as he watches a small device float out of Wing?s chest, the center glowing with white pure light, ??Wing Convoy does have a Matrix Annex!!?

?Nooo?!!!!? Wing screams in pain, ??Get out of my mind!!? ?Don?t you ever get tired of being self-centered?? Cheetor asks sarcastically as he continues to restrain Wing.

?Let?s see here?? Rattrap states as he searches inside Wing?s Matrix connection, ??I know you guys are here somewhere.?

He looks around for several cycles, but suddenly gets an expression of great sadness. ?That?s impossible?? He hangs his head in shame and sadness, ??They?re not here?they really are gone??

Back inside the Matrix with Megatron?

"Hmm?" Megatron thinks out-loud, "And what exactly are you saying? That the conquest of Cybertron is a dream shared by no one other than myself?"

"No?" the voice begins, "What we are saying is that the Tripredacus Council which you try so hard to appease does not share the level of interest that you possess in the conquest of Cybertron."

"Spare me the theatrics and get to the point!" Megatron demands.

"Very well?" the voice starts, "?We need someone who can unite all of Cybertron; someone who can make peace out of an otherwise bleak situation; someone who can unite all into one."

?All into one?? Megatron begins, ?That sounds a lot like the old Autobot motto, ?Til all are one!?.? ?Indeed you are correct Megatron?it is one and the same.? The Oracle responds, ?The group called the Autobots acquired that motto from Primus himself; and he was the one who created us?It is more a prophecy than a motto.?

"And you want me to carry out an Autobot prophecy?" Megatron asks; a bit insulted. "Yes?but you are not doing for the Autobots; you are doing this for you and you alone. Factions will no longer matter once all are one.? The Oracle explains. ?But why me? Why not a Maximal; someone who believes in these prophecies? Someone like Optimus?? ?Optimus Primal is not capable of handling a situation as complex and delicate as this. We need a being with a pure mental viewpoint; one with power and mechanical precision. We believe that you are the only one capable of fulfilling this task."

?You see, Megatron, some beings are Maximals, but are truly evil?? The Oracle states as it displays the form of Wing Convoy?s head; ??while others are Predacons, but are truly good?? and a form of Dinbot?s head is created; ??So it?s all a matter of perspective. In the end; we are all the same.? The Oracle states, erasing the two heads.

?That does make sense; but I?m not purely mechanical?? Megatron begins. ?We know. But you?re body has been infected with a virus; one that causes it to transform into beast mode when you lose control of your emotions.? The Oracle explains.

?Can I remove it?? Megatron asks. ?No, that is not possible. The virus is tied to your very body structure; and into your body?s DNA. As long as you retain a form that requires DNA; like a beast form; you will not be able to control your emotions and risk damaging or destroying the sparks.? The Oracle states.

?Hmm?so if I get a new body?one that?s purely mechanical and not contaminated by either a mongrel beast form or a virus?I?ll be cleansed and will be able to accept my destiny and make all into one!? Megatron states. ?Exactly. You are very wise and powerful, Megatron. While your body is contaminated with the virus; you will not be able to assimilate all the sparks into one.?

"So, besides a new body?what's in this for me?" Megatron sneers. The voice almost seems to evoke a sense of satisfaction in itself as it responds; "Godhood!"

Megatron looks up a little; surprised at first; but then a smirk of pure satisfaction crosses his lips at the mere implications of what the Oracle was proposing. "Well?" Megatron begins, "?I've never considered myself a servant of a higher power; but given the circumstances?let the unification begin!"

Back with Rattrap?

?I guess this was all pointless?Rhinox and Silverbolt are really gone?forever?? he begins when he suddenly notices something.

?Wait just a cycle here?is that who I think it is?? His face lightens up as he sees a lone spark float in front of him.

And as he reaches out to touch the spark; a beam of energy shoots out in both directions from Wing?s floating Matrix. One beam juts back into Wing; causing him to howl in intense pain and the other shoots out into the room.

?OOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!? Wing screams as his body being to convulse; causing Cheetor to lose his grip. Wing?s body suddenly goes limp as they beam of light retracts back into the Matrix; and he collapses to the floor; unconscious.

Just a few moments later Snarl and Warpath enter the room carrying the bodies of Rhinox and Silverbolt. ?What?s going on here?? Warpath asks as he sees Rattrap disconnect himself from Wing Convoy.

?Well, would you look at that?? Snarl stares in shock as he sees Wing?s Matrix stop glowing and drop out of mid-air and bounce off of the ground.

Everyone looks stares in disbelief as they see a figure; glowing in white light; stand before them. As the light begins to subside; the features of the bot become more visible.

?Who?are you?? Cheetor asks in confusion. The bot slowly raises his head; and his optics flash on. ?That?s Dinobot!? Rattrap exclaims with joy.

?Correction vermin?? he states as he opens his chest; revealing a Matrix Annex, ??Now I?m Dinobus Prime!!?




Two new bots enter the fold; Dinobus Prime and Dreadnought. How will their appearances influence things to come?

And both Megatron and Optimus?s agendas have changed in light of communing with the Oracle. What will happen next for them?

What about the Predacons in the Antagony? What?s Fenrir?s Doomsday plot? And what other events lie ahead?

Keep watchin?

nice

hehe, dinobus

That was a great read!

Dreadnought and Dinobus Prime..? Interesting - Very interested on how they play out..?

I actually forgot what Dreadnought looks like - apologies to the designer.. I will go to the list and see what she looks like..

Just saw it - very cool, Destructor - I remember this one now!

As for Dinobus - I gotta get used to the name.. I hope he's just not Dinobot with a Matrix Annex.

Great set-up to BM as well.. just watched BM episodes of Revelations Part 1-3. Now - from what Rattrap remembers from his and Rhinox's memories - the Maximals crashed their Autobot ship in Cybertron.. will they repeat this at the end of Myth Wars?

On another subject - I'm excited to see Rampage meet Depthcharge again - especially with Rampage's new friend..!

Anyways - this was fun to read - looking forward to read more!

They will each play their part...and they play a part in the next chapter!

Yeah...she's not as pretty as Skyboom though!!!

Too bad I needed a Predacon role instead of a Maximal one...

BillyBadAss wrote:As for Dinobus - I gotta get used to the name.. I hope he's just not Dinobot with a Matrix Annex.

Yeah...it was supposed to be G1-ish (Like Hot Rod to Rodimus Prime). I guess that does deserve a giggle or two...

But yes; he will prove himself worthy of the title and the Matrix Annex. He's essentially Dinobot with a Matrix Annex; but the promotion's altered him...made him more Prime-like and more of a leader. Don't worry; he's still Dinobot too...he can't be totally good .

Yep...that will happen. I don't want to give away spoilers; but everything will end in perfect sync with the series's (Beast Wars and Beast Machines). Nothing will happen that will make you think, "That doesn't work..."

Well...then you'll really like what happens in the next chapter...

Thanks again Billy; and I look forward to your reviews (and everyone else's too... Don't get me wrong).

Well...it's that time again. Time for another update!

The Beast Machines personalities are becoming more and more appearant as both Megatron and Optimus commune with the Oracle of Cybertron!

But the Myth Wars still rage on; and things are only going to get more intense...especially after the events of this chapter!

And so; here it is! Chapter 16/Episode 68; the concluding chapter of the Season Premiere 3-Parter!!







'Myth Wars' MetalSamamon's Version: Episode 68: "Premonitions from the Past: Part 3: The New Agenda":









?Eh! Who died and made you Prime?? Rattrap snaps as they all stare at the reborn Dinobot; now in the form of Dinobus Prime.

?Don?t make me scrap your useless hide yet, rodent; I just got back!? Dinobus retorts; snarling and drawing his sword.

?HEY!? Warpath screams as he steps in-between the two, ?I don?t know what kind of feud you two had going on before; but now is not the time for it!?

?Huh!? Dinobus snorts as he knocks Warpath?s arm aside, ?What gives you the right to command me?? ?Just because you?re a Prime now doesn?t mean you ain?t the same Predacon criminal that escaped us back on Cybertron!? Warpath states as he presses a finger into Dinobus?s closed chest.

?Hmm?? Dinobus rubs his chin in thought for a moment, ??I remember you now?you?re Warpath. And that could only mean?? He looks around and sees the unconscious Wing Convoy lying on the ground some feet away; his Matrix annex not far from his body. ?Indeed it?s true?? Dinobus begins, ??He is here. Optimus was right!?

?What?re ya talkin? about?? Rattrap begins, ?You just get back; and yet you knew that Wing Convoy was here. Did that new toy in yer chest allow you to contact Optimus from the dead er somethin???

Dinobus turns and growls at Rattrap, causing Rattrap to back off a little and snicker lightly. ?No, mouse,? Dinobus begins, ?Optimus contacted me through the Matrix. I?m not entirely sure how, but somehow I feel as though we are connected now.?

?Oooh! Just what we need, a Predacon with a Matrix connection!? Rattrap snips as he waves his hands in the air mockingly. Cheetor gives him a quick jab to the side, ?Shut up Rattrap.? ?Things have changed?? Dinobus laughs a little as he rubs his chin.

?What?re you saying Dinobot?I mean Dinobus? Is Optimus alright?? Cheetor asks. ?Well?I thought so when he had originally contacted my spark?? Dinobus?s expression suddenly turns to sadness, ??But I feel now that he is no longer with us.?

Elsewhere?

?So?what is it exactly that you want me to do?? Optimus asks as he floats around inside the Matrix. ?You need to restore the balance, Optimus. Megatron has a great and disastrous plan; and it?s up to you to stop him.? The Oracle tells him.

?So, you want me to destroy Megatron then?? Optimus asks. ?No. Death is not the only way to defeat your enemies; Optimus Primal. Megatron is essential to the grand scheme of things to come?he must be defeated in another way.? The Oracle explains. ?How? Tell me how I can defeat Megatron!? Optimus demands. ?Look inside yourself, Optimus Primal. The answer lies within you?? The Oracle coolly explains.

Back on Earth?

?Hmm...there?s something you never explained to me.? Nemesis states as she walks towards the front of the ship.

?And that would be?? One of Gigatron?s head asks, turning to face her as the others look on ahead. ?You remember when we first came here?? She asks. ?Of course?? Gigatron states. ?Well?you never told me what the purpose of coming here was. I know that exacting out your vengeance on Megatron was part of it; but what were the other reasons?? She asks him.

?Well?I guess now is as good as any time to enlighten you, my dear Nemesis.? Gigatron states as he turns his body around to face her completely.

?You see, while you were in the front of the ship during our landing here on Earth; I and Tidal Wave were trying to track down Megatron. According to the final transmission sent by the Tripredacus operative here; Tarantulas; Megatron had recently acquired a new and extremely powerful beast form of a dragon; which he experienced the power of first-hand. I knew that if we were to pose any kind of a threat to him; we needed powerful forms too?ones of beasts with extraordinary powers??

?Mythological beasts!? Nemesis shouts in realization. ?Exactly. Which is why I gave you that disk containing the DNA sequences that Cryotek had developed for us back on Cybertron before we left. With those beast forms; we could easily combat Megatron; and either capture or destroy him; whichever I preferred at the moment?? Gigatron lightly clears his throat in emphasis.

?That?s when I sent you off to see if you could contact any of the local Predacons; to see if you could make allies with them. I?m sure that you remember that?? One of Gigatron?s heads states, ?I told you to use those DNA sequences to reformat any and all Predacons you came by?it was the only way for us to build up an armada strong enough to defeat Megatron!? ?And I did. I input the DNA codes into the Antagony?s computer while Waspinator and Fenrir activated the Decepticons onboard the ship. That?s how MegaZarak; Myrimidon; Six-Shot and Skar all got their new mythological forms!? Nemesis explains.

?Yes, and thanks to Cryotek?s brilliance; that?s also how we got our mythological forms!? Another of Gigatron?s heads states. ?Well?it all makes sense now!? Nemesis states.

?So, when we get to the downed shuttle; can I have one of the pods?? Nemesis asks. ?Huh?? Gigatron asks in confusion, ?Why would you need a pod?? ?I have my reasons?? she states. ?Bah! You can?t have a pod! We need those protoforms to make new Predacon warriors; not to fulfill your twisted sense of amusement!? Gigatron snaps, turning around to watch out of the front cockpit again.

She glances briefly back at Waspinator?s dead body when Gigatron looks away. ?I?ve been little miss nice girl so far?but the time for that?s just come to an end!!?

Elsewhere?

?So?I am destined to unite all of the sparks of Cybertron; am I?? Megatron states mockingly as he floats around inside the blackness of the Matrix. ?Your destiny is whatever you make it out to be Megatron?no one has control over it but you.? The Oracle replies.

?Ha! Here you are telling me that I must play great Autobot prophecy-fulfiller; and now you say that my destiny is not already planned out! You are nothing more than a hypocrite!? Megatron sneers.

?We understand your confusion Megatron; do not lose control of your emotions.? The Oracle states. ?Yes?perhaps you are right about that. If I lose control of my emotions I?m only allowing the beast to take over.? Megatron states.

?You must understand this. Although we ask you to perform this task; you are not bound to do it. You have one opportunity per moment to do something; whether or not you choose to do something in that moment is up to you.? The Oracle states.

?Hmm?what are you saying??? Megatron asks inquisitively. ?Once a moment has passed us; we cannot go back and change that moment. It is gone forever. Even with you going back in time to Earth?s past; you still had only one chance to change the future you knew?but essentially you were erasing one future and rewriting another. At any given time; a moment cannot exist in a timeline more than once.? The Oracle explains to him.

?Argh!? Megatron suddenly screams, ?If I wanted a lecture I would go see Optimus Primal!? ?It?s a difficult concept to grasp Megatron; we do not expect you to understand it now?you will in due time.? The Oracle ignores Megatron?s frustrations.

?For some reason I?m beginning to think that the Oracle is trying to stall me?? Megatron thinks to himself, ??I need to get out of here. There is so much planning to do!?

?Oracle of Cybertron; if I am to fulfill your task; I need to leave here. I need to return to Earth; and prepare for the task at hand!? Megatron boldly states. ?And how do you plan on preparing yourself?? The Oracle asks.

?The rest of Primal?s Maximals must be eliminated?it?s the only way to ensure that I succeed!? Megatron states. ?Death is not the only way to defeat your enemies; Megatron. There are other more efficient ways?? The Oracle states. ?Hmm?interesting notion.? Megatron states.

?There are 3 Transformers that you have killed recently?? The Oracle begins. ?Yes. Waspinator, Silverbolt, and Rhinox.? Megatron adds in. The Oracle continues to speak ??They are not dead.?

?WHAT?!? Megatron screams. ?Gigatron was incorrect in his assessment of the artifact you call a Spark Destroyer. It is actually a Spark Capture device. It holds the sparks in a stasis field; allowing them to exist outside a living body. The sparks are still inside that unit; back on Earth.? The Oracle explains.

?Hmm?it would appear that I need to return to Earth quickly then,? Megatron thinks to himself, ?If the Maximals get their hands on those sparks before I do??

?Are you ready to be reborn Megatron?? The Oracle asks him. ?Yes?I am ready!? Megatron smiles evilly as he feels his body inside the Matrix begin to slowly dissipate into nothing?

Back on Earth?

Deep inside the canyon; the dead, broken and nearly destroyed body of Megatron begins to glow as parts and pieces begin to rebuild and reform.

All of a sudden Megatron?s optics flash on; and he rises to his feet and stretches out his arms in triumph.

?Yes?oh yesss?? Megatron begins as he leans his head back and screams, ??I LIVE!! I LIVE AGAIN!!!?

At that exact moment?

?ARGHH!!!? Dinobus cries out as he clutches his chest in pain.

?What?s the matter with you?? Snarl asks him. ?Something?something is amiss?? Dinobus states as he regains his composure.

?Oh boy?he?s lost it.? Rattrap comments. ?This is serious Rattrap!? Cheetor states as he turns to face Dinobus, ?What happened??

?I felt something?like someone was crushing my spark with their bare hand?? Dinobus states, ?I think it was Megatron.?

?Megatron?? Warpath states. ?Ya mean he?s still alive! I thought Optimus was going to take care of him.? Rattrap comments. ?Apparently; Optimus has failed?? Dinobus states, recalling meeting Optimus inside the Matrix.

?Wait?? Dinobus begins, ??Why would Optimus want to take care of Megatron? That was never Optimus?s style?? Dinobus states. ?Yeah; but once Megatron killed Waspinator, Rhinox and Silverbolt; Optimus?s viewpoint changed.? Cheetor explains.

?They weren?t inside the Matrix when I was there?? Dinobus begins; suddenly realizing something. ?So you?re saying that they?re not dead?? Cheetor asks; a little confused.

?Huh?they look pretty dead to me.? Warpath states; looking at Rhinox?s body through a window in the CR chamber. ?If they?re not dead; and Megatron used that Spark Destroyer on them?? Rattrap begins, ??That can only mean one thing: They?re inside the Spark Destroyer unit still!?

?Maximals?transform and move out!? Dinobus states as he transforms into his Tengu mode, ?We need to get those sparks back!?

Elsewhere?

?Strange?I can smell the stench of X?s spark. I know he?s nearby?? Depth Charge states as he walks around near a downed stasis pod.

He looks at the pod; and he pries open the lid to reveal the empty interior. ?Great?? he begins, ??Looks like X?s claimed another life!?

?Oh I?d say you?re half right there old friend!? A voice states; drawing Depth Charge?s attention. He looks out to where the voice came from and sees Rampage emerge from around the corner of a large rock formation. Rampage moves his mandibles wildly as he speaks, ?You see, I didn?t claim this life; it joined me willingly!?

?I don?t know how you managed to survive after I drove that spear of raw energon into your spark; creep; but you won?t survive this time!? Depth Charge yells as he whips out a double-barreled cannon and begins firing at Rampage.

Rampage quickly jumps out of the path of the laser blasts and hops onto a nearby rock. ?Oooh?you?re playing hard to get!? Rampage snickers, ?I like that!?

He lunges off of the rock and tackles Depth Charge before he has a chance to shoot him. They roll around for a few moments before Rampage manages to pin him against the ground. ?Get off me; ya stinkin? hunk of slag!!? Depth Charge screams as he punches Rampage across the face; knocking him off.

?Hey you!? A voice calls from near the two combatants. ?Huh?? Depth Charge states as he looks around for where the voice came from.

He looks and finally spots a tall female figure standing a few yards away. ?Why don?t you just make this easy on yourself and give up your spark already!? She states, aiming a gun at Depth Charge?s head.

?No?? He begins as he sees Rampage stand up and join her side, ?You changed the Maximal protoform into a Predacon!? ?Excellent deduction fish boy!? Rampage states as he starts to laugh insanely.

Depth Charge quickly pushes himself up; and Dreadnought fires a shot at him; barely missing by inches. ?That?s the last spark you?re going to twist to your insane pleasures; X!? Depth Charge screams as he uses his back fins to block several blasts from Dreadnought?s gun.

?Your words have no meaning to me any more?? Rampage begins as he signals Dreadnought to stop firing. As she lowers her weapon; Rampage?s fists begin to glow. ?Now, thanks to the Vok restoring my spark, I have all the power I need to destroy you once and for all!?

Depth Charge folds back his fins and sees Rampage?s glowing fists. ?Oh great?just when I thought things couldn?t get any worse??

Meanwhile; on the Antagony?

?How much longer on these repairs?? Fenrir screams. ?Cool your jets already! We?re working as fast as we can!? Six-Shot retorts. Skar nods in agreement from a few feet away.

?Blast it all! If I?m to succeed in my mission; I need this ship operational!? Fenrir exclaims. ?Planning on leaving with my ship; are we?? A voice states from behind him.

?Uh oh?? Myrimidon gulps, slowly backing away in fear. ?I know that voice?? Fenrir begins as he turns around to see a massive figure standing behind him.

?The reign of Fenrir has officially reached it?s end!? The bot states as he lifts Fenrir up and tosses him into the ship; ricocheting him off of the hull. ?MegaZarak! You?re back!? Six-Shot proclaims in excitement.

?Yes?I had a hard time getting here; but at long last I am back!? He states; holding his fist in front of him in triumph.

?Get out of here! You?re going to ruin all my plans!? Fenrir screams, rising to his feet. ?Fenrir?Flight Mode!? He screams as he transforms into his jet mode and takes off into the air.

?Decepticons?take out that high-pitched glory hog!!? MegaZarak commands. The other Predacons quickly grab their weapons and begin to attack Fenrir as he hovers and opens fire upon them.

Back in the canyon?

?Now where in the devil did I leave that Spark Extractor?? Megatron states as he searches amongst the ruins of the canyon.

Suddenly he spots something shining in a pile of rock. ?At last?? he begins as he picks up the device; and moves the grabbing claws as he examines the device, ??Now I need only to figure out what to do with you three??

In the meantime; inside the Matrix?

?Are you ready to accept the task that lies before you, Optimus Primal?? The Oracle asks him as he floats around. ?Yes?I am truly ready.? Optimus responds. ?Then I release you back?it?s all up to you, Optimus Primal.? The Oracle states as Optimus?s body begins to defragment and disintegrate into nothing, ?Transform your mind. Transform and transcend??

Back on Earth, Optimus?s body begins to glow and piece back together; each part rebuilding and reforming into a shiny new part.

?What?!? Megatron screams as he turns around to see Optimus?s body finish rebuilding. Suddenly Optimus?s optics flash on; and he looks at Megatron as he holds the device in his hand, ?Goin? somewhere??

?I have no time for you Primal!? Megatron screams as he transforms into dragon mode; still holding the device, ?I have an agenda to attend to; one that does not concern you!?

?I have an agenda too Megatron?to make sure you don?t succeed with yours!? Optimus states as he extends out his chest cannons. But just as he?s about to fire upon him; he stops and sighs.

?What are you doing?? A voice calls out from behind him. ?It?s not what the Oracle wanted?? Optimus begins when he realizes something, ??Who said that??

He turns around to see Dinobus Prime and the others standing behind him inside the canyon. ?Why didn?t you stop him Optimus?!? Dinobus shouts.

?Dinobot? But how??? Optimus asks, overwhelmed in confusion. ?I?ll explain later. Right now we must pursue Megatron and stop him!? Dinobus states. ?Yeah! He?s got the sparks of Silverbolt and the others!? Cheetor yells.

?Huh?? Optimus states as he turns to look out in the direction where Megatron had flew off towards; only to see a small dot quickly growing smaller off in the distance. ?You mean that they didn?t die?? Optimus asks; turning around to look at them.

?No you big ape!? Warpath states; ?We?ve figured out that the device that Megatron used on them wasn?t a Spark Destroyer; but in fact it was one of those old Spark Extractors that the we Maximals used to use on Predacon criminals back in the day!?

?Then the Oracle was right?I have to stop Megatron; no matter the cost!? Optimus states; turning back to look out where the small dot was in the sky; only to see nothing but a clear blue sky.

?We must move quickly if we are to track down Megatron and stop him!? Dinobus states. ?No Dinobot?? Optimus begins, ??I have a feeling that?s not what the Oracle wants me to do.?

?Ah fer bootin? up cold!!? Rattrap screams as the others stare at Optimus in disbelief. ?First Dinobot here gets all ?Great Autobot Leader? on us; then Megatron steals the sparks to our pals again; and now yer tellin? me that we?re going to just let him go and take their sparks because you have a hunch?! Well?now ain?t that just Prime!? Rattrap states; crossing his arms.

Back at the Antagony?

?Fools! You have no clue who you?re dealing with!? Fenrir screams as he continues to fire upon them; only landing a few shots here and there.

Skar raises his shoulder cannon and targets Fenrir in his crosshairs. He grins happily as he fires; landing a direct hit on Fenrir; sending him into a downward spiral in a trail of smoke.

?Nice shot Skar!? Six-Shot comments as they watch Fenrir bounce and collide with rocks as he agonizingly skips across the slope of the mountain. ?Hmm?with that aside; I think it?s time you all finish those repairs on the ship.? MegaZarak states, and the others nod and move away from the edge of the mountain.

?You haven?t seen the last of me!? Fenrir screams as he smashes into rocks as he tumbles down the slope, ??I?ll be revenged on you all!!!?

Elsewhere?

?Ohhh?what happened?? A bot states; slowly rising to his feet. ?I?m?I?m not sure. I think we?re back on Earth.? Another bot comments as she rises to her feet near the first bot.

?Airazor?? the bot asks as he looks over at her. ?It is you Tigatron!? She proclaims; rushing over to him.

?Are you damaged?? Tigatron asks her. ?I don?t think so?? she examines herself quickly, ??But I don?t understand. The last thing I remember was us together in Tigerhawk?s body; and we were fighting the Nemesis?and then?it all went black. I felt our sparks separating??

?Same here.? Tigatron states, ?I guess we?d better see if Optimus and the others are still here. They might have some answers for us.? ?Yeah?? Airazor states; holding Tigatron?s hand as they begin to walk together.

Meanwhile?

?What?s going on here?? A voice calls out. ?I can?t see anything in here!? Another voice calls out; trying to see through the pitch black darkness.

??And unto his minions; he said let there be light!!!? A powerful voice cries out; suddenly releasing a flurry of light into the room; illuminating the forms of Rhinox; Silverbolt; and Waspinator.

?What?z going on here? Wazpinator does not understand!? Waspinator shouts as he covers his optics from the blinding light. As their optics begin to adjust; the three lower their arms and look out across the distance and see a figure slowly float towards them.

?You never have been one for intelligence; Waspinator?? the figure states; slowly moving towards them. They watch as a large trail of cables follow him; connecting to his head.

?Who are you?? Silverbolt asks. The figure moves in front of the light; silhouetting himself against the bright light; making him appear almost regal and godly. But the three look again; and the features of the figure become clear.

?No?it can?t be!? Rhinox shouts. ?Oh yes?? The figure states; clad in a shiny silver control harness with a metal faceplate covering his head. He waves his arms with authority; one which has three fingers and the other with a pair of pincers. He grins slyly through the grills of his faceplate, ??It is I; Megatron; the great Uniter of all the sparks of Cybertron! And you three shall become my generals!!!?






Megatron is back; and he plans on using the 3 Maximals as his new generals! What will they do?

And with Optimus Primal back after communing with the Oracle; what will Dinobus Prime and the rest of the Maximals cope with the new Optimus? And will Depth Charge survive facing both his old adversary and his new prot?g?? And what about Tigatron and Airazor; how will they deal with being alive again? And what are Fenrir?s plans now that he?s lost control of the Antagony to MegaZarak and his Predacons? And what have Tarantulas and Oracle been doing this whole time?

Keep watchin??

On a side note; to all who are reading this series...

I will not be updating the story this Sunday due to a trip I need to take to Arizona (personal business; I'm visiting my mother).



But alas; a new chapter will be up next week.




Thank you all for your understanding; and I appreciate all the feedback (so please leave some and tell me what you think!!! )




See you all then!!

I like the fact that a Predacon now possesses the Matrix - just like Wing Convoy!! Haw!

Great writing - a lot of things are happening at the same time.. weee!

The Beast Machines is really showing through here now - can't wait to see how it all links up!!
