Transformers: Evolution Revolution Episode: 04 The Shattering -------------------------------------------------------- "Fellow Decepticons, this day the future as I have seen it will change. This day we take a new offensive. This day the messages of doom are to be made falsehoods." Said Magnatron as he spoke to his warriors: Nightwing, the beutiful yet powerful female deceptiocn, Blackwing, Nightwing's brother and ally, Fathom, the towering decepticon behemoth, Buzzwing, the loyal tripple changer, and the Verticons Scourge, Starscream, Shockwave, and Cyclonus, as well as the mysterious X who's form remained hidden in the shadows. Magnatron felt disgusted with himself. He knew he was spewing fourth lies to his allies. He knew he was doomed. He had foreseen his own demise. But he knew also that he had to fight to change the future. And perhaps misleading his troops into believing victory was possible was the only way. Godmonger stood among the autobot/decepticon council. Everyone was awaiting Magnatron's arival. It would be another day of debating. Another day of begging Magnatron to reconsider, and another day of Magnatron speaking as if he were a prophet. A pointless day and a waste of time. The doors slid open slowly. Throught he door stepped not the Magnatron the council knew but the warrior Magnatron that Godmonger had come to know and despise. With a sly grin on his face Magnatron stepped into the room. "Greetings gentlemen. I see you've already prepared for another meaningless day of banter. Prepared for another stall tactic while you wait for your assassin to succeed. Well I'm tired of waiting. My wait is over. History is about to change." Said Magnatron as he drew his sword and thrust it through the table. "Just who the slag are you." Demanded a decepticon who sat at the far end of the table. "Why cancelor you should remember. as I said before. History may not remember this day but it will remember that my name is Magnatron." he said as he pulled his sword from the table and thrust it to his side empaling a nearby autobot. Godmonger rose to his feet and lunged at Magnatron "NO MAGNATRON!" he cried as he swung his fist at Magnatron. Magnatron evaded by simply leaning to the side. Magnatron lept back as a giant shadow figure appeared in the doorway. Through the doorway stepped in all his enormity Magnatron's personal body guard, X. "It...MAGNATRON! It really is you...but...why..." Said the chancelor as he staggered back. "Because the new world has no place for those who betray their herritage." Magnatron answered as he for the first time revealed his other mode. Magnatron lept into the air and began transforming and it became aparent why he brought such an enormous decepticon with him. Soon Magnatron's transformation was done and X held in his hand the giant revolver that Magnatron had become. X directed Magnatron toward one autobot after another firing on each. And each autobot struck by the heavy shells burst into flames and fell dead on the floor. Six dead council members later Magnatron returned to robot mode. X ran into the room and drew a broad bladed sword which he wielded with the intention of severing Godmonger's head. Godmonger reahed up and clasped the blade between his palms and shoved the weapon aside only to be bombarded by a spray of high callibur gattling gun rounds from the pack on X's back. Godmonger fell on his back and X raised his sword. Soon however he found his legs tugged out from under him. The three build bots had arrived on the scene and attempted to restrain the behemoth that was X. Soon however X mustered the strength to cast the smaller bots aside and rose again. The build bots realized that this would be a good time to merge in order to compensate somewhat for X's size advantage. The tree build bots merged together once more forming the giant super robot Constructor. Constructor directed his three guns toward X but before he could get a chance to fire found himself tackled by another sizble robot. This time Axis had plowed through the wall and grappled Constructor sending both merge groups through the window and down to the streets of cybertron where their brawl continued. X also resumed his attack on Godmonger. He landed punch after puch toppling Godmonger. X having now gained the advantage grappled Godmonger and held his head toward Magnatron. "Now watch Godmonger. Watch your failure. Watch everything you've fought for come crumbling down." Magnatron having dispatched the remaining autobots in the room approached the chanciler whom was on his knees begging for mearcy. "Please Magnatron I'm you're ally. You can't do this I'm a Decepticon." Magnatron grimaced at the words of the canciler. "Decepticon, You are a disgrace to the name....Decepticon." Said Magnatron as he lowered his arm canon and fired a solid beam incinerating the entire torso of the chanciler. Magnatron's dark deed having finnished X twisted Godmonger and slammed him into the floor before once more raising his sword high above his head ready to crash down. "And now Godmonger it's your turn to die!" He said but before he could finnish the job Godmonger countered. "NEVER!" he cried as he let loose the compliment of missiles in his chest right into Godmonger's face. In the ensuing explosion Godmonger threw his feet forward uprighting himself as if he were the star of a martial arts movie and threw a punch at the already reeling X. Finally after seven consecutive hard punches from Godmonger the mighty X toppled. Godmonger drew his double gattling gun and directed it down to the fallen X. "I'm going to make you pay for what you did." But before Godmonger could fire on Magnatron's most trusted he found that Magnatron had directed his own weapon on Godmonger's back. "No, Godmonger today you Autobots will pay. Pay for imposing your false peace. And pay in advance for what you plan to do to our decendants the Predacons. Now is the time of redemption. Goodbye." Magnatron prepared to fire but from X he heard a plea. "Please Lord Magnatron. Please allow me. I must finnish the fight I have started." Requested X. "Very well X. finnish the job." Magnatron said stepping aside as X rose up. X drew his sword again and slashed into Godmonger's side then again from the other side. Slash after slash X laid down on Godmongher slowly staggering him to the other side of the room. X spread his arms the the side and from his backpack let loose six missiles which blasted Godmonger in the chest sending his badly damaged body hurtling through the outside wall and down the tower smashing into the pavement below. X stood looking down. He held his sword out point down over the edge and released it letting it plumet. Godmonger in his weakened state could only look on as the blade fell and tore through his chest. In the streets Axis and Constructor were still fighting. Axis had gained the firepower advantage. Shouting "BLITZCRIEG!" Axis let loose his full firepower and blew Constructor flat on his back. The lofty constructor looked on as Axis approached through the smoke But in the smoke was another figure. An all too familliar figure to the build bots. It was BigBuild. "You lousy decepticons. Always tearing things up. A lot of bots put their hard work into building this city and along you come just blasting away as you please. Well I'm not going to allow that. Build bots are sworn not only to build the city but also to protect it. Buddy...You're going down." Said Big build to Axis. Constructor had risen to his feet while Big build was delivering his speech and was ready for combat. "alright you lazy slaggers. Time to do the BIG big guy." Said Big build. Big build lept into the air and began transforming. "BIG BUILD SUPER MERGE!" he yelled as his body changed and began to recombine at various places aroudn Constructor. When completed the new bot had a new chest plate, set of hands and one giant merged gun. "CONSTRUCT KING!" The newly formed construct king rose his giant gun toward Axis. "CONSTRUCT CANON!" He yelled as he fired on blasting Axis. The force of the blast was so intense that it seperated the individual robots that comprised axis. The now seperate Verticons quickly tried to get their barings and realizing they were in their current state no match for construct king transformed to their respective vehicle modes and flew back toward the council chamber at the peak of the tower. Construct king approached the fallen Godmonger. Godmonger slowly turned his head toward Construct King. "My spark... ...still burns.....fix me." He said as Construct king lifted him in his arms and carried him away back toward the spaceport. Much later. Magnatron and his allies stood in the council chamber and stared out over the skyline of Iacon. "We've done it. Victory is nigh." Siad Nightwing with a smile. "Not yet. Godmonger and timestream still live. I can feel their sparks burning. And my assassin still persues me. We have not yet changed our fate." Said Magnatron head held down. Magnatron in his hand held the mask that had been his false face. In his hand was the Magnatron all had known. With his true face he looked onto that which had for so long covered it. He reached his arm out and let the mask drop to the streets below. "I am from this day forward. Master of my own fate." Said Magnatron as his mask shattered. Outside of the tower. Staring back from a far distance was shinden. His face still marred by Magnatron's attack. "Magnatron. Cybertron stinks of my failure. I will wear this scar untill the day I kill you." And deep in the decepticon compound below the council tower, in Magnatron's former throne room sat X in quiet meditation. "I couldn't kill you Godmonger. I realize my mistake now. Once my spark burns clear I can slay you. In our next meeting....you will die."
