Transformers: Evolution Revolution Episode: 02 Unfit to lead ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Magnatron in his political mode entered through the doorway where the four robots obsereved project: D-001. "Ah verticons how nice to see you. How goes the saviror of the future?" asked Magnatron. "He is nearing completion. This transmetal two technology is incredible. Coupled with his multi capable transformation abillities he may very well be unstopable. Where did you get this technology from?" asked the black robot to whom the other robots seemed to act subservient to. "Cyclonus you're brilliant scientific mind can understand this technology but I don't think you could understand the meams by which I find it." Answered magnatron. "I still don't see the point in building a super weapon like this. Shouldn't we be facing the real problem. Namely how to elliminate those rattifying the Pax cybertronia." Said one of the two smallest transformers whom on his back had a pair of whings to which were attached a stock of missiles. Magnatron sneered at him. "You have a very limited world view starscream. You don't seem to understand that we can only delay pax cybertronia from being signed." "Why? We have the advantage. We are built for war. Autobots these days can't stand up to us. If we lay our battle stragegy correctly...." Said the largest of the robots whom was olive drab and camaflauge patterned. Magnatron cut him off. "You're confidence is inspiring Shockwave. But there is little I can do to change it. You see my visions are always correct. It was my visions that broung us this technology. But I also have a vision that I will be asssassinated soon. and pax cybertronia will be signed. WHen I am gone D-001 will have to be the one to set our decendants free." "THEN WHY DO WE EVEN BOTHER TO FIGHT" Snapped the other small robot who's back was adorned in propellers and wings. Magnatron snapped back striking the defyant decepticon on the jaw knocking him to the floor. "Because no decepticon ever surrenders!" Magnatron gathered his composure and unclenged his fist. "My appologies Scourge." "He was out of line lord magnatron. You needn't appologise to him." Said Shockwave as scourge stood up rubbing his dented jaw. "Leave me here." demanded Magnatron. Following orders the four Verticons filed out of the room. Magnatron stepped forward and knelt down in front of the still under construction robot. "I come before you a defeated robot. All I am will be no more in the course of the next year. Cyberton is undergoing a change. Old robots like me don't belong here. And even though I cannot stop this change I am not afraid. No decepticon runs like a coward even when faced with death. When I am gone they will remember my name. And you my son will carry on my legacy. Never surrender." A short time later the verticons filed down the hallway of the decepticon headquarters. They passed by a door which slid open. Through it staggered Nightwing. "Nightwing you shouldn't be walking your repairs aren't finnished yet." Said Cyclonus concearned. "DON'T TALK DOWN TO YOUR SUPERIORS CYCLONUS!" Demanded Nightwing. "I'm sorry sir uhm maam I mean." Cyclonus stumbled with words. "What Cyconus means is that he is concearned for your wellbeing." Explained shockwave. "Concearn is all well and good but I've got orders for you." Said Nightwing. "From Magnatron? But we just met with him why would he send them through.." Scourge questioned but was interupted. "Magnatron is going senile. And too many of the decepticons fail to question him. This is for his own good." Night wing explained. Starscream stepped forward from the group. "Tell us. what are your orders lady Nightwing?" Back at the spaceport Godmonger had taken his usual place looking out of the main tower window. He looked on as the base was being rapaired by the three build bots. Timestream was again at Godmonger's side. "These build bots surprize me. They were strong enough to hold off the decepticons despite being civillian built. That's the way things are going now. Bunch of lazy slaggers at that." Said Godmonger noticing that the build bots had halted their work to oogle a passing fembot. The fembot they were gazing at halted but rather than turning to take offense at the build bots looked to the sky with an expression of terror on her face and turned about face rushing off at full run down the streets of cybertron. The build bots looked up to find the source of the fembot's terror. Four aircraft buzzed in and swooped down on the helpless build bots. A spray of machine gun fire from the four aircraft sent the autobot's scrambling. One black Hellicopter, a large green camaflauge carrier hellicopter, a harrier jump jet, and a helliplane hovered in place letting loose with more firepower on the build bots whom were desperately trying to get into a battle ready position but each time were broken up by oncoming sprays of ammunition. Godmonger signed. "I guess I should be glad they didn't fix the window yet." he said as he dove through the window and transformed. This time not into the heavy weapons platform he had becoem before but rather droping his trailer to the pavement below and taking flight as an airplane." Godmonger swooped in spraying the attacking four aircraft from behind with gattling gun rounds. Rushing through Godmonger broke up the attack formation and met up with his trailer which had followed him under its own power. Merging with his trailer Godmonger transformed back to robot mode and opened fire from his chest launchers. The four attack aircraft scrambled and transformed into the verticons. First the helliplane scourge, then starscream the jet, and the black hellicopter cyclonus and finally the big green hellicopter shockwave. The four Robots arranged in a line side by side and let loose in this formation with a wall of firepower leaving the autobots no room to dodge. The three build bots were battered back while Godmonger stood his ground absorbing the damage. Rushing forward while the Verticons reloaded Godmonger picked out Shockwave the largest of the group assuming he was the leader and punched him hard on the side of the head sending his enormous bulk crashing down on the ground. Cyclonus signalled to starscream and scourge whom transformed to flight mode and swooped in forming a cross with their sprays of bullets. Godmonger realized his mistake in judgement too late when he noticed that Cyclonus the obvious true leader had made distance and a rather angry shockwave was getting up. Drawing a blade from hsi back Shockwave attacked Godmonger head on. Godmonger blocked as best he could with his forearms but they blade was wearing him down quickly. If this kept up Godmonger would be dissarmed quite literally. The build bots realizing that the Verticons had forgotten about them decided to rejoin the battle. "So what are we gonna do?" asked LayFlat. "I dunno mabey go in and try to kick their skidplates?" Replied Tornado. "Hey let's do the big guy!" Hardload recomended. "Yeah the big guy!" replied tornado and layflat in unison. The four Build bots stood side by side then jumped inot the air and began a transformation. they shouted in unison "BUILD BOTS TRANSFORM!" Tornado's body split open and formed a pair of legs. Hardload transformed and became a pair of arms from which a pair of hands was oddly absent. and forming the chest and head unifying the robot was Layflat. Finally their extra pieces transformed and connected on various parts of the body becoming large guns. "CONSTRUCTOR" they said in a united voice as the big bot touched down cracking the cement below its enormous feet. The verticons stopped their assault on Godmonger to take notice. "Ah a worthy opponent." Said Cyclonus with what would have been a smile if his face hadn't been covered by a faceplate. "VERTICONS TRANSFORM!" he commanded. Shockwave first transformed becoming the robots entire lower body. Nest Cyclonus transformed and became a torso. Finally scourge and Starscream transformed into the robot's arms. As the head emerged from Cyclonus's body the arms took up the blades from Shockwave and united them into a single large dual bladed weapon. "AXIS!" spoke the robot in the melded voice of its parts with that of Cyclonus being dominant. Godmonger stood side by site with Constructor as they prepared to face Axis who stood taller than either of them and carried more bulk as well. An uppercut from Axis knocked Godmonger through the air for a moment befor he chashed down. Axis then proceeded to attack full on at Constructor. A series of punches from the enormous fists sent Constructor staggering. Constructor countered by smashing his arms into the head of axis. Over and over graduall knocking the mighty war bot off balance. Finally when axis seemed like he was going to topple rose back up slicing across the torso of Cosntructor. Axis then let loose with every missile and machine gun on his body shouting "BLITZCREIG!" Constructor let loose with his three energy cannons hoping to halt the barrage shouting "TRIPPLE BLASTER!" The attack from Constructor met with the blitzcreig and errupted in an enromous explosion halfway between the dualing merge groups. From the smoke emerged a few remaining missiles from the blitzcreig attack having not been completely halted by the tripple blaster. Constructor was hit hard and no longer having the power to maintain the merge seperated back into the three build bots. Godmonger stood back up ready to fight hoping that Constructor had worn the Verticons down some. However before the two bots could tie up a round shot from the distance seperating them. From that direction emerged the silver soldier Magnatron in his hand he held a chain and being drug at the other end of that chain by her neck was Nightwing. With a tug Magnatron pulled the fembot whom he was obviously angry with down in front of the previously battling robots. "Verticons withdraw." he said angrilly. Axis stepped back. Magnatron pointed his arm cannon at Nightwing's head. "You deffied me. You were so hotheaded that rather than wait for your repairs to finnish you risked my troops. You went against my orders. And a warrior without loyalty is not deserving of life." He said with a great amount of anger in his voice as Nightwing turned her head away from the barrel of his cannon. Giving a tug on the chain Magnatron pulled Nightwing to face his weapon. "Afraid are you? Then tell me. Give me one reason for you to remain a decepticon! You can't make the right descisions, you niether understand nor respect my visions and all of that I can forbive but treachery I can not!" "P.p.please lord Magnatron I..... AAAAAHHHH!" Nightwing screamed as Magnatron let off a round from his arm canon. Nightwing uncovered her face from her arms to see the crater made in the pavement immediately beside her. The look of terror on her face slowly faded to reliefe as she looked up to Magnatron ready to thank him but found his hand slapping her hard on the cheek knocking her back down. With another tug on the chain Magnatron again puller her up to his eye level. "I want your loyalty not your fear. Untill you prove your loyalty you have lost something more valuable than your life. You've lost my respect." Said Magnatron. Magnatron handed over the chain to Cyclonus whom along with the other verticons had returned to normal robot mode. "Cyclonus she's no longer your commanding officer. Get her out of my site." He said as he flew away followed by the remaining decepticons with Nightwing being towed at the end. The build bots stood by Godmonger as he looked on at the departing Decepticons. "Slag those Decepticons are seriously slagged up." Said Godmonger. "Yeah that guy was more of a slag head than you Godmonger." Hardload commented. Godmonger held his head down and signed. "Get yourselves repaired, then get to work fixing the base. And at this rate...don't bother fixing my window." --------------------------------------------------------------------------
