After months of preparation the time had finally come. An energon storm was occurring. Megatron was not about to waste such an opportunity.
"This is a foolish experiment Megatron." hissed a Transmetal Terrorsaur, "Not only are you wasting our limited resources but…" His sentence was cut short when he noticed a laser guide on his chest.
"I'd quit insulting Megatron if I were you." said Transmetal Skorponok.
"The Royalty's plan will succeed!" shouted Inferno triumphantly.
"All of you BE QUIET!" shouted Megatron from his chair, "You are lucky I even considered retrieving your worthless shell Terrorsaur. If I were you I would spend less time mocking orders and more time obeying them!"
A sudden blast interrupted them. Quickstrike was firing joyful into the air.
"Got it boss-bot!" shouted the Fuzor as he leaped off of Rampage's tank back.
"Wazzzpinator find devizzce. Two-head hide in fear, Crab-bot not even there." said Waspinator.
"Do you think Tarantulas didn't have any defenses buzz-brain! I had to at.." Before Rampage could finish, Megatron blasted the three.
"I don't want to hear stories, I want the device! Where is it? I don't have much time!" yelled Megatron still aiming his tail gun. Waspinator shivered as he gave the orb to Megatron who swiftly grabbed and moved to a modified CR Chamber.
Megatron activated the chamber. He pressed a button on the round device and a blue orb floated from within it. A small glow could be seen in the center of it.
"What exactly is this?" asked Skorponok.
"This my loyal servant is the result of alien technology combined with years of mine and Tarantulas's tampering. This is the first fully functional artificial Spark!"
The other Predacons looked the orb in disbelief and confusion.
"This Spark only has life essence in it. It has no personality or identity which is why I created this machine. I can even provide a protoform for it to lodge in."
Megatron walked to a stasis pod Inferno was sitting on. Inferno quickly got up and saluted his leader. Megatron ignored this and opened up the pod. Inside was a helpless protoform with its spark beating. He grabbed a makeshift spark extractor from his shoulder compartment. He aimed and fired. Red flashes surrounded the Spark and lifted it from the protoform. Megatron shut the extractor off. He handed the Spark to Rampage. "Bon apatite my cannibalistic minion." said Megatron cheerfully. Rampage snarled at the word minion but gladly lifted the Spark to his head. He consumed it.
Soon, Megatron lodged the artificial Spark into the protoform and placed the two into the CR Chamber. "All we need now is DNA." said Megatron as he turned to his soldiers.
"So you're cloning huh?" said Terrorsaur. "If so than I will gladly offer some of my material. The Predacons could use another like me." snickered the treacherous reptile.
"Oh, I'm not going to clone anyone. This Spark will produce a brand new Predacon into this universe! I need DNA to give it a working body and a working mind." said the Predacon commander.
"So basically, you're gonna make a kid?" said Quickstrike raising his brow.
"OOOHH Wazzpinator want to be daddy!" shouted Waspinator excitedly. Waspinator proceeded to jump around excitedly.
"Stop that you incompetent bug!" shouted Megatron. "Though I do suppose it could be considered a child." Megatron pondered the thought for a moment. "Still, I will not wish to have any more of your likeness around." said Megatron pointing to the group.
"Why not choose me my Queen?" shouted Inferno. Megatron growled at the word 'Queen'.
"Those of you who are not idiots are either treacherous or annoying." said Megatron looking at the saluting Inferno.
"No. I'm going to choose a more competent Transformer's DNA."
He opened a large drawer containing several tubes. He grabbed two of the tubes. "I forgot to dispose of this after that cloned failed me." he said looking at a tube that was labeled 'Traitor' in Cybertronix. "I will use my DN.."
A sudden energon bolt hit the Darksyde at full force. The crew lost their balance with the tremors. Skorponok, who was in stasis lock due to energon static, slammed into Megatron. Megatron was trapped under the heavy mechanical scorpion. The two tubes rolled in front of the chamber. "Someone, put the tube into the chamber! Quickly! The energon storm is about to cease!" yelled Megatron.
Waspinator was the only one who wasn't struggling to get up. He quickly grabbed a tube and placed it in the chamber. The chamber began to activate itself. Outside, a large antennae popped out of the Darksyde. It quickly attracted the energon infused lightening.
Waspinator help Megatron move Skorponok's body out of the way. Megatron looked as the energon traveled in the wires attached to the antennae and into the chamber.
"Yeess!" laughed Megatron as the inside of the chamber began to glow. Waspinator took a step back in fear. He stepped on a tube and lost his balance as it began to roll. Waspinator fell causing the rube to jet towards Megatron. Megatron quickly turned around and grabbed the tube just before it hit his face. He looked at it. It was labeled 'Megatron'. Megatron growled. He became so angry that he crushed the tube he held in his hand. He tossed it aside and looked at Waspinator angrily before grabbing the bug by the neck.
"What Wazzpinator do?" choked Waspinator.
"Uh, boss-bot." said Quickstrike tapping Megatron's shoulder.
"WHAT IS IT?" Shouted the enraged leader.
Megatron looked up as the CR Chamber's glow dimmed. Megatron growled at Waspinator before tossing him aside.
"Open it."
Terrorsaur obeyed and pressed the button.
