Transformers: Evolution Revolution Episode: 05 D-001 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Godmonger and his Autobots stood gathered in the main tower of the spaceport that served as their home base. "Magnatron is holed up in the peace tower. He's decleaired martial law and indeffinately halted the Pax Cybertronia. But he still knows that our signitures are inforced on the electronic records. And as long as there are enforced opposing signitures then he knows his goals are still in danger." Timestream looked up at Godmonger. "Which means that his only remaining targets are you and I." Godmonger nodded and turned to speak to Big Build. "It also means that you and you're build bots are free to go. Magnatron has no beef with you." "No way are we deserting you now. We've got all of cybertron in the balance. We still haven't finnished building cybertropolis and I'll be slagged if I let some decepticon blow it to scrap before it's even done." Said Big Build with a strong conviction. The build bots in far fewer words agreed with thier leader's descision. "Good then we're all in this together. Now time stream since you hold the highest rank of all of us you should formulate a plan of counter attack." Said Godmonger not realizing he was still ordering Timestream. "I'm glad you asked Godmonger. I've actually been thinking over something that occured to me after that big decepticon attacked me. Normally such a large fighter wouldn't slip through the streets of Iacon unnoticed. He traveled by the waterways. And as such those waterways must lead back to the decepticon home base." Said timestream. "But haven't they moved into the tower since then?" asked Big Build. "Well you see I did account for that. But did you notice that when Magnatron attacked that a good number of his army accompanied him. Also no one actually saw them enter the building." Timestream replied as he walked over to a controll board and activated a projector. A light shot fourth and created a 3D miniature image of the center of Iacon in the center of the room. "I obtained a map of the waterways of the city. If you notice this particular waterway stems from an underground river. A river which passes directly under peace tower." Timestream explained. "Magnatron....hidng right under the enemie's nose. The most basic tactic of covert ops. I can't believe all those lives were lost to such a simple trick." Said Godmonger with his head lowered with shame. "But Godmonger this isn't the end. If Magnatron has taken the peak of the tower as his home base then he might have left his own center of operations relatively ungaurded. We could launch the exact same attack on him that he used on the council." Said timestream. "He'd never expect us to copy his own tactic. Timestream you're a slagging genious." Godmonger said with a sly grin. A thump sounded behind the group as another robot dropped from the cieling. "Sounds like a plan." Said Shinden as he walked into everyone's view. "My name is Shinden. If you're going after Magnatron I'm coming with you." he said. Godmonger looked down on the small robot. "And you're going to take on Magnatron? Do you want me to start on how stupid that is." Godmonger said. "Don't underestimate me. I am a proffessional assassin. The council has already paid me which means I am bound by pride to complete my mission even if my employers have passed away." Shinden replied. Godmonger shrugged. "What do you say Timestream?" "The decepticons have significantly highter numbers. We need every soldier we can get." Timestream replied. "Yeah but how do we know he isn't working for Magnatron." Godmonger accused. Shinden pointed to his face which was still marred from his encounter with Magnatron. "You see this scar on my face. It will remain as a reminder so long as Magnatron's spark still burns." Shinden answered. A few hours later the Autobots were in the street prepared to exocute their plan. Godmonger transformed to vehicle mode and dropped into the waterway sinking to the bottom. Likewise did the build bots and Timestream. Shinden jumped in in robot mode and held fast to Godmonger's trailer. It wasn't long before the autobots found themselves below ground. "I sure hope that big guy isn't down here. Autobots don't function well under water." Said Big Build. A little later the autobots found light above them. Transforming to robot mode they all climbed out finding themselves in an underground cave. A passageway lead the autobots to a metalic hallway. "There's still power running to this area. Decepticons consume so much energy that they wouldn't keep power to an unnecessary area. There may be guards around here." Said Timestream. A few paces further the Autobots located a door. Stepping through they found themselves in a darknened room with only a few electronic lights providing luminescence. Timestream stepped ahead of the others. From the cieling beamed down bright flourescent lights brightening the dark chamber. Now the contents of this room were clear. This was a labratory. Contless machines and computers seemed to be working hard at one task. That task was at the center of this room. Timestream gazed up at the towering capsule containing the results of this dread operation, Project D-001. "Godmonger you and the others go ahead. I'm going to stay here and see what this is. It must be importanto to Magnatron to devote so much energy to it." Said Timestream. The others took their exit and continued upward through the Decepticon base. Still inside the labe Timestream looked down to a monitor. "This is like nothing I've seen before. An entirely new breed of robot. It's design is like the new Predacons but... ...this is far more powerful. It's....too powerful. It's like a living weapon. But why create something like this? huh?" Timestream stopped his contemplating to look back at the capsule. "Did....did it just move? No it couldn't have. It says here that it's incomplete. It's power consumption regulators aren't finnished. If it were let loose now it would have to constantly consume energy to maintain its power level. But still. Even at this stage...it's like a god. A god of Destruction." Timestream looked back. to the capsule. He then looked back to the screen. "Wait it said 60% a minute ago. How can it be at eighty percent already...eighty one....eighty two...eithy thr...." Timestream opened a channel to Godmonger. "GODMONGER GET BACK DOWN HERE NOW!" By the time Godmonger and the other autobots had arrived the progress indicator was reading one hundred percent. THe being inside stirred. It reached forward and placed its hand against it's glass prison and pushed through shattering the container sending some manner of fluid spilling out on the floor. The newborn super robot lurched forward onto the floor. He stood up stright and spread the two black wings that adorned his back revlealing his body in all its horrid perfection. It was purple and balck with a few highlights of red or gold in various places. It let out a wail with its deep voice echoing through the base. A wail perhaps like that of a newborn human but resounding with the power of a dark god. The door behind the Autobots slid open and through it stepped Magnatron. Magnatron walked throught the group of stunned autobots to stand in front of Gigatron. "You see autobots I know I can't stop the new generation but that won't stop me. I see the subjegation of the Predacons in the future and I will not allow it. That is why I made him. The new Massiah for a new age of warriors. The Dark God of Destruction....GIGATRON!" "I....live. It is time for me to claim my birthright. The new dark age will begin this day. You whom have witnessed my first steps onto cybertron,let me give you your reward." Said the newly created Gigatron. Gigatron stepped forward as Magnatron drew back in horror of the being he had created. "No not like this. This isn't what was supposed to happen. WHAT HAVE YOU AUTOBOTS DONE TO HIM!" Exclaimed Magnatron in intense anger. "CUTTER BEAM!" yelled Gigatron as a laser shot from his helmet sweeping across the room. Everyone dove to the floor to avoid the attack. Gigatron's power was evident in the destruction he had cauzed. through the wall was visible the entire expanse of the underground base. layers and layers of walls and stone cut clean. Slowly the area around them lurched down and the hole closed as the whole ove the base settled lowering the cielings a few feet. "Don't just sit around you lazy slaggers for the BIG big guy." Said Big build to the other Build bots. Uniting the Build bots formed Construct king. Still the mighty merged robot was only slightly taller than Gigatron. ConstructKing rushed in and attempted to swing his enormous fists at Gigatron only to be hoisted over the mighty predacon's head and thrown upward throught he cieling with considerable force. So much force in fact that Construct king found himself ripped apart into the seperate Build bots and lying damaged on the streets of Iacon just outside Peace tower. Gigatron pointed his hand forward at Godmonger. "You there. The big one. You are next. I know not why but for some reason I already dispise you." Answering Gigatron's challenge Godmonger threw a punch across Gigatron's jaw barely causing his head to turn with the blow. "OW SLAG!" Exclaimed Godmonger as he drew back his dented fist. Timestream seemed to have dissapeared in the scuffle as Magnatron gazed on in horror. Gigatron pounded Godmonger with blow afther blow smashing the body of the mighty autobot into dent covered tower of scrap. "I'm impressed Autobot that you can stand this long against my power. But your courage won't save you." Said Gigatron as he continued to lay his fists into Godmonger. "NOW DIE!" SHouted gigatron drawing a sword from his back and raising it hight. Gigatron's blade plumeted toward Godmonger's neck. At the last possible instant it stopped cold. Gigatron froze. Hodling onto Gigatron's back was Magnatron. "I'm sorry my son. Somehow you've been corrupted by the Autobots. I promise I'll fix you." He said as he plunged his hand into Gigatron's back pulling out a glowing tube that must have been a vital component. "I have not been corrupted FATHER. And your'e previous knowledge of my design is severely lacking" Said Gigatron as he swung his arm back swatting Magnatron aside. "What? This should have been his power core. Could he have a backup?" Said Magnatron confused. Timestream stepped beside Magnatron. "Power core? That's just what I need" Side timestream as he snatched the object in question up and lept onto Gigatron's back. Timestream connected the power core to an external port on his shoulder. and accessed it for added strength. "Now with this power boost let me show you why I'm called TIMESTREAM! Say hello to ancient history Gigatron!" Timestream shouted as he and Gigatron both glowed bright white. In a flash Gigatron's form dissapeared. When the scene was clear timesteam stood alone on the scalded floor. It was silent for a moment before timestream explained. "I sent him into transwarp space. Without a ship I doubt he could survive." Timestream finally relaxed and smiled with the battle having aparently ended. But the silence was broken whith the sound of shearing metal as Timestream's smile turned to face of shock and pain. Through his chest portruded Magnatron's sword and behind timestream Magnatron himself who's face was distorted in rage. Godmonger could only look on in shock as Magnatron lifted his long time friend above his head and raised his arm cannon. Timestream looked to Godmonger with pleading eyes. "Protect the peace" Is the last he said before Magnatron fired his Fusion cannon. Timestream's chest blew open under the force of the weapon. Dropped Timestream's body to Godmonger's feet. "And such be fate to any who stand against my ambition." Said Magnatron with Bitter spite. Godmonger's sorrow turned to rage as he struggled to rais his gun toward Magnatron. "You know it's pointless to challenge me in your condition Godmonger." Magnatron stepped forward and placed his fusion cannon against Godmonger's chest. "You are the last thing standing in my way now. Yet I do not see the future unfolding like this. Fate is about to change." Said Magnatron as his canon hummed with power. Before Magnatron could fire however he found his canon removed by a rouge projectile. He looked to his canon to find what had knocked it from its perch on his arm. And what he and godmonger saw was a long dual ended scythe. Godmonger looked over to where Gigatron had dissapeared to find two figures stepping throuhg a glowing portal. Magnatron not intending to stand against more autobots when his main weapon was removed let fly with the six missiles stored in his chest. But rather not at the autobots but at the already crumbling room around him. As Magnatron intended the ceiling began to collaps. He made a hasty retreat through the doorway. The two new arrivals grabbed Godmonger and climbed out via the hole in the cieling made earlier in the battle. As Godmonger was pulled out he saw Shinden was nowhere to be found. He looked on one last time as his old friend Timestream was burried forever in the rubble of the dread labratory. Magnatron having ventured to a safer area was met by Buzzwing whom had come to see the wellbeing of his leader. "Lord Magnatron should we go after them?" Magnatron thought for a moment before answering. "No. Let them go. They have lost a freind and I have lost a son. There has been enough killing today."
