Beginning Beast Wars
In the deep reaches of space, above the planet that shall one day be known as Remnant, all was as peaceful as it's ever been. No meteors threatening to strike the planet and end all life, no shooting stars, not even a Ugandan Knuckles. I am SO GLAD that meme is dead!
But that peace was suddenly broken when the area above the planet's atmosphere began distorting. Almost as if something was breaching through the space/time continuum. With the sounds of laser gun fire, two ships exited through this distortion and began to do battle with each other. One large one, and a smaller one that had a set of backwards facing wings. Both ships were shooting each other, but it was the larger ship that was taking the most damage.
"Hull breach in Sector 7! Guidance systems failing!" exclaimed a voice that sounded like a fifteen year old boy.
The next one to speak was also a male. But his voice was older and sounded like he had a Brooklyn New York accent. And he seemed to be a little whiny. But then, who can blame him? You would be the same if you'd been dragged into a fight for your very life.
"Oh man, dis is ridiculous! We're an exploration ship, not a battle cruiser!"
"No choice!" said a voice that sounded like a true, nobel leader. "Our ship was the only one that could lock on to Megatron's warp signature!"
"Shields are doing a major fade!" warned the young voice.
Seeing no other option but to focus on offense over defense, the leader of the vessel made a tough decision.
"Plasma cannons to full power!"
Aboard the smaller vessel, the crew knew that they had the upper hand on the ones in the larger vessel. And yet, for some reason, the captain of this ship wasn't doing anything to outright destroy the enemy. And one crew member has had enough of it.
"Their shields are down! Destroy them!" urged a rough and gruff voice that sounded like a man in his forties.
"Now, where's the fun in that?" replied a voice that sounded quite sinister. "A little torment, I'd say, first. Yess! Side guns!"
The smaller ship began to accelerate as it moved to fly right next to the bigger ship. And it was at this point that the ship fired all weapons upon the larger vessel. The vast majority of the plasma blasts missed their target, but those that did hit damaged key parts of the ship, and the crew aboard this one knew this.
"Rupture! The stasis hold is failing!" exclaimed the young voice.
A much older and seemingly emotionless voice was the next to speak up.
"We're going down."
The leader didn't like this situation he and his crew have found themselves in. Not only is their ship heavily damaged and falling to the planet below, but the rest of his crew is in danger of possibly being destroyed in the crash. He looked to one of his screens and saw that they have just enough power left for one last assault. With a heavy heart, he made the most logical choice for this situation.
"Launch all pods! Get them into safe orbit!"
Their ship began slowly spinning as it ejected human sized pods that all were silver colored and seemed to be made of a metal not found on Remnant. Once the last of the pods had been ejected from the ship, it aligned itself with the enemy and shot a barrage of plasma blasts as a last ditch effort to take the enemy down with them.
"All plasma cannons - FIRE!"
The leader of the enemy ship cried out in surprise and outrage as his ship was hit and a wing was blown off. With this accomplished, both ships found themselves caught in the planet's gravitational pull. Streaking down across the sky, they crashed in two different locations on the planet. As we shift to the larger ship, we see that it has crashed in a clearing full of waterfalls and some lush greenery. But mostly stone croppings.
"Ugh… damage report!" ordered the leader.
"Believe me, you don't want to know." said the teenager.
The leader sighed before saying "That's what I thought."
In the heart of a dormant or dying volcano, we find the other ship has crashed here. For this faction, it looks like they can adapt geothermal energy to their own equipment.
"Navigation! Is this the right planet?" asked the sinister leader.
"Unknown. Course settings we're accurate, but readings are inconsistent with those expected for intended destination." replied a female computerized voice.
"Nevermind that! Tell me if there is Energon here!" the leader demanded.
"Confirmed."
"Yes! The planet has Energon!"
"Too much Energon. Field readings are off the scale. Continued exposure to robotic forms will result in permanent damage." the computer informed using a series of holograms for visual aid.
The leader of this faction slammed his fist down in a small fit of rage. He had not anticipated the Energon fields being this high, and now they can't even harvest the stuff without risk of death! But he calmed down as he got an idea. An awful idea. This guy got a wonderful, awful idea.
"Then we will create alternate forms based on the most powerful local creatures!"
"Scanners activated!" cackled a creepy male voice.
The ship then launched a probe into the air which released wide purple energy beams as it slowly spun in a circle. As it did, these beams of light seemed to scan the fossilized skeletons of a Velociraptor, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and a Pteranodon. This data on the extinct creatures was then uploaded into the central computer of this odd ship. Next up to be scanned were a wasp and a tarantula that were about to fight it out to see who would become who's dinner.
Back at the other ship, a similar beam of light was being sent out from a set of radio antennae on the top of where the command deck would be. But these beams were more of an orangey yellow coloration. The creatures that got scanned this time were all mammalian. Namely, the creatures included a pair of cheetahs, a rat, a rhinoceros, and a silverback gorilla. Once scanning was complete, the lights shut off.
"Scanning and replication of local life forms complete. You may emerge." said the monotone voice.
"ROWR! Hey, look at me, I'm a Cheetah! No… no - I'm Cheetor!" exclaimed a now talking Cheetah.
"Hmm. Interesting." said the leader as he waited for his beast mode to finish replicating.
"Interesting?" Cheetor asked incredulously. "ROWR! Optimus, the word is spot on smooth!"
The young techno organic purred as he looked at himself in the reflective surface of one of the machines on the ship. A small sense of vanity that comes with the feline form began to come into play as Cheetor admired his new looks.
"It's a crime." he said with a laugh.
Emerging from behind another machine was a very large rat that, when standing on its hind legs, was tall enough to look Cheetor in the eye.
"Eh, a bit tacky. Ya never had taste, did ya, kid." the rat said in that same New Yorker accent that we heard during the battle. "Now, dis! Dis is what class is all about! Call me… Rattrap."
"Oh yeah? How's about I cut mices to pieces?" Cheetor challenged, peeved that the rat would call his fur coat tacky.
And he would have pounced on the rat too, had his salvation not come in the form of a brown rhinoceros with two golden orange horns.
"Ease back, Cheetor." he said in the same monotone voice we heard before. "Living large is for forms like me… Rhinox."
"Yeah! And just consider yerself lucky I didn't get rough on ya's!" Rattrap added as he struck a fisticuffs pose.
That's when the machine that held Optimus opened up to reveal a silverback gorilla. One that is obviously Optimus in his Beast Mode for protection. And lucky for us, he's here to play the mediator for these machine people.
"Moderate your conflict circuits, Maximals! Remember, these new Beast forms are to protect us for the long term effects of the Energon fields out there!" Optimus ordered. "We may need Energon for power, but this is too much of a good thing."
As Optimus began walking to the main computer console of the ship, he began to explain the severity of their situation and how it's not exactly the best of situations for anyone here.
"Our robot modes will start to short out after a few minutes' is one unusual planet. Whatever it is."
As the other Maximals began to absorb this information, Rhinox spoke up and got everyone's attention.
"Or WHENEVER. The Transwarp Drive can go through space and time. We were locked on to Megatron's warp signature. We could be anyplace; any time."
"Yes. And our crew is orbiting the planet in those Stasis Pods we lost in battle." Optimus said grimly. "They're protected from the Energon fields, but… it means that Megatron has us outnumbered!"
Back at the volcanic region, Megatron's troops are out and about in their Beast modes in an attempt to get used to these forms and the biological differences from their robotic forms. One of these troops in particular, a Velociraptor with dual-tone brown skin in a form of stripe pattern, growled as he observed his surroundings with a golden disc held in his claws.
"No, no, NO! It's all wrong! This cannot be Earth!" he growled.
He turned back to the entrance of the ship with anger clear in his eyes.
"Megatron! You failed! Not only did you fail to destroy the Maximals when you had the chance, you failed to bring us to the right planet! We stole the Golden Disc for nothing! You IDIOT!"
He threw the disc into the shadows of the entrance with a resounding clatter, drawing a slightly peeved sound from the one speaking now. It's Megatron! And as he stepped out of the shadows, he revealed his Beast form to be a purple Tyrannosaurus Rex with a green stripe along his back and a pale purple underbelly.
"I beg your pardon? What did you call me?" Megatron asked.
His tone seemed calm, but underneath that, one could easily tell that it said 'choose your next words carefully if you value your life'. Not that this raptor heeded this warning.
"You heard! You are an idiot and an incompetent leader, and I am taking over!"
He growled as he then did something that no one of this world would have expected. He began to transform!
"Dinobot - TERRORIZE!"
The now named Dinobot roared as his body rapidly shifted into a more humanoid state with his raptor traits still being clearly visible all along his body! His robot mode was impressive: his raptor legs became his arms, the head of the raptor became his chest-plate, and the rest of him seemed exoskeletal. His helmet head was brown but his faceplate was blue and looked like someone in their forties and he had red piercing eyes and razor sharp teeth. He activates his Rotary Blade ominously as well as his sword with his claw-like hands.
He took up a battle stance as he glared at his leader with contempt and challenge. And speaking of challenges…
"I challenge you to battle, Megatron! The winner shall lead the Predacons, and the loser shall be destroyed!" Dinobot exclaimed.
But Megatron wasn't fazed. He simply sighed and began to turn back to the entrance of the ship with a calm and collected demeanor.
"You're so impulsive, Dinobot. Brave, but misguided." Megatron said.
"Do you accept my challenge!?" demanded Dinobot.
Megatron simply laughed and continued to walk slowly. If one observed closely enough, you can tell that the scalebelly is up to something.
"There's more to being a leader than simple courage. Why there is cleverness, and cunning as well. Isn't that right - Scorponok?"
Megatron moved out of the way to reveal that his second in command, Scorponok, had just finished transforming from Beast to Robot mode, and he was primed for battle.
His robot mode is humanoid with most of his body covered in scorpion shell like armor. His stomach is formed from his eight red arachnid legs. His head has only one yellow eye and his lower jaw looks like mandibles fused together. His scorpion tail is right behind him and his front pincers are his lower arms and hands.
Dinobot found himself stunned and unable to react in time as Scorponok shot him with two of his missiles at the same time. The force and propulsion of which sent the velociraptor Predacon flying out over the horizon until he couldn't be seen anymore. Megatron smirked and scoffed as he saw the results of what couldn't even be called a tussel.
"Loser." he quipped as he walked out of the ship. "What does it matter which planet we're on? We came looking for Energon and this planet is rich with the element. Enough Energon to power the Predacons' entire galactic conquest!"
Megatron's mood suddenly soured as he remembered one critical detail that could send his whole self-appointed mission spiraling downhill.
"Only the Maximals could give us trouble now… IF they survived the crash."
He turned to his fellow Predacons, who had gathered while Scorponok returned to Beast mode, and gave out critical instructions for them.
"Find them! And if you find them - destroy them!"
Having their orders, the Predacons scattered in different directions to search for the Maximals. Two of them taking to the air while the others searched from the ground. They all have only one objective in mind. Find the Maximals at any cost, and bring them back to Megatron. Dead or alive! Mostly dead!
But as they left to find and destroy the Maximals, they failed to notice something else streaking towards the planet. Something that has a life sigal coming from it.
*To Be Continued…*
That's the end of this chapter. I hope you guys enjoyed it. It's been awhile since I've watched Beast Wars, and all I had to go on were clips of the episodes. If anyone knows where I can watch full episodes for free, please let me know. But now we come to the question.
1.) What do you guys want Yang's Beast Mode to be? (You'll find out soon.)
2.) What should Yang's main weapon be in this story? (I will not be using Ember Celica here.)
3.) And finally, should I do a RWBY Watches story connected to this one?
Thank you guys so much for reading! Don't forget to leave a LONG REVIEW for this chapter! May the Force be with you, and have a great day!
