"Opening Ground bridge now. We are ready to receive you." The words came from the voice of a large, robotic being, outfitted with an orange paint job and symbols that matched that of an emergency ambulance.
The autobot medic Ratchet(P) looked behind him as a swirling green vortex opened. Through the vortex, two other robotic beings entered. One was large and bulky, with a green paint job. The other robot was much smaller, thinner, and with yellow paint and a black stripe along his front torso.
What both had in similar though was the fresh battle scars."Ugh, that con packed one heck of a punch" sighed Bulkhead(P), rubbing the side of his rather dented head.
"I told you man, gotta watch out for Lugnut and his punch of kill everything." Bumblebee(A) exclaimed while rubbing the side of his rear. "But you're lucky. I don't think I'll be able to sit for two solar cycles".
Before the vortex closed, two more figures walked through. One had a blue paint job, a slender woman-like feature, and looked to be the smallest bot so far. "Another predacon bone lost" Arcee said in frustration. Following her was a bot with a black/yellow color scheme similar to Bumblebee(A), yet he was taller than his Animated counterpart. "Beeep-bwop" the bot added, his head low to the ground in shame. "I hear ya Bee. The Cons are getting tougher now that they're allied with their alternates" Bulkhead(P) agreed. The other Bumblebee looked between the two in confusion. "Still don't get how you guys understand the other me".
"Well for now, you should all take a seat so I can get a good look at ya" Said a gruffy sounding voice from the far side of the hangar. The Animated Ratchet was rather busy tinkering with some medical equipment.
"Told you guys that you need me". A red haired teenage girl jumped down from the rails of the upper hangar, supported by her jet pack. Unfortunately, she stopped her pack to high and landed right on top of whatever Ratchet(A) was working on. "Sari I need that!" the old medical bot complained. His Prime counterpart looked to him and huffed. "Now you know how I feel".
"Sorry. It's just kinda been boring here, since the other kids are at school, and my Bulkhead went with the Primes, Smokescreen, Prowl, and this world's Magnus on another bone hunt." Sari exclaimed, stepping off the(now ruined) med equipment to sit at the side of the table. "So unfair that the cons are having the edge" the redhead sighed.
Aboard the Nemesis
Another ground bridge opened, and through it came two figures. The first to come through was a bot with a red color scheme. Following behind him was a rather large and imposing bot, with a single, glowing red eye.
"The predacon bone has been procured lord Megatron, by yours truly" Knockout was rather proud of himself, as expected of the vain decepticon.
Standing before him was a terryfing figure, one that exuded power and commanded respect, his silver armor glistening in the purple light of the ship's hull. "Excellent work Knockout. Another addition to our soon to be bestial supersoldiers." Megatron(P) complemented his decepticon medic.
"And it wouldn't have been possible, were it not for the impressive brute behind me. Love how you spammed that explosive punch of yours big guy" Kockout glanced behind him to flatter the large bot.
"Ha! The autobot scum were no match for the might of Lugnut. The grand and glorious Decepticon cause, can not be denied!" The large bot smashed his metallic fists together.
"As expected of my ever loyal Lugnut" Another figure came to stand before Megatron(P). Unlike his Prime counterpart, who was rather imposing in appearance, this Megatron had a more of refined look to him.
Lugnut took a bow before his master. "All hail the one and noble Megatrons! Your power will rule all!"
"Oh get a room". The touching moment was then ruined by what appeared to be a single head. Starscream(A) sighed in disgust at all the gushing Lugnut was giving the Megatrons. "I can't even think straight with all these mushy complements going on.
"Silence traitor!" Lugnut scolded to the bodiless decepticon. "You will not undermine the grand, and glorious image of the wise Megatrons!"
"Blah blah blah" Starscream(A) said. "Anyways, when's that weakling version of me gonna return from his bone hunt? I doubt he's as reliable as I am"
As Lugnut and Starscream(A) continued their argument, a hunched, slender looking bot walked up to the two decepticon leaders, and showed them a beeping image on his faceplate.
"Open the ground bridge Soundwave(P)" Megatron(P) said. "Let us see, if Starscream(P) did indeed complete his task"
As another swirling green vortex appeared, a rather frail, winged bot jumped through. "KYAHH!" the bot screamed, landing face first into the ship's hull. Following him was another winged bot, only difference in appearance was the twin mounted cannons on his back, and he wasn't as frail lookingn nor was he feet in the shape of stilettos.
Oh, and he had multiple personalities in the form of three constant shifting faces.
"Starscream! Have you procured your predacon bone?" Megatron(P) growled at his 2nd in command.
"Of course master, your prize is right here" the Seeker said, getting himself up from the floor.
"It is right...uh...uhhh" Starscream(P) stammered, attempting to find his master's prize. "Um...I can explain, my liege" the lowly decepticon cowered before his leader, clearly growing in impatience and anger.
"No need to vorry. I have ze bone vight here" the other winged bot revealed, showing the bone in his hand, and his blue face ever so smug.
"It seems that Blitzwing has accomplished the mission" Megatron(A) said to his counterpart. Starscream(P) growled at the triple faced decepticon.
"Why didn't you say anything sooner?" Starscream(P) said through clenched teeth.
Blitzwing's face immediately switched, now donning a rather cartoony face with a crooked smile and chaotic red eyes. "Because seeing you on ze floor all vorried vas hilarious, ahahaha!" the crazed triple-faced con laughed with glee.
As Starscream(P) attempted to keep himself from strangling Blitzwing, the two decepticon leaders conversed about the current plan.
"Now that we have an acceptable number of predacon bones in our possesion, Shockwave(P) will begin the cloning process, and soon, we will have an army of beasts, ready to trample both the Autobots and humankind underfoot" Megatron(P) told his other self. Megatron(A) agreed with his sentiments.
"Indeed my friend, and once we have taken care of both our Autobot problems, we can begin the conquering of both Cybertrons. The decepticons will be victorious"
From a few hallways afar, a large dragon like bot eavesdropped on the conversion, growing ever so interested on what was to become of all the bones that were collected.
Team Prime Base
"Sorry guys, we came back emptyhanded" Smokescreen exclaimed, his blue/black color scheme covered in pieces of ice from his scuffle with Blitzwing.
"The decepticons got their hands on another bone. Bumblebee(A), any luck on your hunt?" The Animated Optimus asked.
"No dice bossbot, the cons were just to tough" the yellow autobot replied in slight frustration.
The other Optimus came up to his comrades to share a startling thought. "It would seem that the decepticons have gathered enough predacon remains to engender the beasts"
"So what will we do now?" Animated Bulkhead asked. His Prime counterpart added to his question "yeah, should we just stand here and wait for the cons to raise their monster army?"
A blue bot, second largest amongst them, came up to propose his plan. "If we are the only ones who stand between the natives of this planet and the predacons, then we have no choice: we must launch a preemptive strike on the decepticon warship, and send the beasts back to the rust age before they can be cloned"
"I agree with Ultra Magnus" Optimus(P) said. Autobots, prepare for battle. We're boarding the decepticon warship, and destroying those predacon bones once, and for all.
Meanwhile, in a distant world, a silver eyed, white haired female warrior was preparing with her fellow comrades on the trip out of the North, and their inevitable confrontation with the Organization. She also had two people to search for. One to reunite with, and the other to destroy.
And there you have it. The beginning of my very first fanfic. Short epilogue I know, but things will start to get juicy once we start the crossoverin'
