Transformers: Rid- The Return of Galvatron
Three years ago…
"For once I warp their minds, evil will reign supreme!" a white dinosaur- like creature with wings yelled to a large white, blue and red robot, both inside a fiery pit that was the Earth's core. As he was speaking, a ray of green light flew right past him and hit the robot he was taunting. The robot screamed in almost agony, until he realized that he was being recharged. "What's this, another one of your Autobot tricks?" the dinosaur asked.
"It's…Fortress Maximus. He's sending me his power to energize the Matrix!" the robot said as he calmed the energy down, and then had it erupt from his chest from the weird symbol in front. That energy died down and took the shape of an enormous sword. The robot grasped its handle and then took a better hold of it. The dinosaur was in shock. "I don't get it. A moment ago, you were as weak as a protoform cyberdrone!" he cried. "Turns out you were right, Galvatron. The energy of Earth's young generation IS and unstoppable force. But now those you planned to victimize are using their power to defeat you." The robot cried as he got into a ready stance. "This battle has just begun. Galvatron, robot mode!" the dinosaur, identified as Galvatron yelled, as he took on a humanoid shape as well, complete with wings and a double-edged rotating sword. "You are going down Galvatron." the robot yelled, as he used his backpack thrusters to charge Galvatron. "We'll see about that, Autobot. Come on!" Galvatron yelled. "You got it. Matrix Blade!" the robot cried. The two began to duel, with Galvatron giving off quite the bit of grunts.
"Argh. Soon, Omega Prime, your newfound energy will not last much longer, and then you're mine!" Galvatron roared hypocritically, for the only thing keeping him alive at this point in time, was his rotating sword. "I disagree!" Omega Prime yelled, as he sliced the sword in two, causing a massive explosion…
One day later…
"Once you return to Cybertron, do you think you'll ever return to Earth again?" a small boy asked a computer terminal inside a fire engine. "If we're needed. But with you and the other young people of Earth to protect it, I doubt you'll need any help at all." the computer spoke back, projecting a blue-coloured robot head that resembled Omega Prime's. "What happened to Galvatron and those other guys, Optimus?" the boy asked. "Fortress Maximus is taking them back to Cybertron. They'll be guests at the Asteroid Prison Colony. For a long, long time." Optimus responded. As Optimus was talking, an image of Fortress Maximus, in spaceship mode, was riding through space. Beside one of his dormant turrets, rode a blue robot.
"This isn't over yet, Optimus Prime. I'll be back. I promise you." Galvatron's face said, as it streaked by on what looked like a microchip. As he spoke, another microchip, with a black version of Optimus Prime flew by, and a chip containing five angry faces as well. On a final chip, an enormous skunk, frog and flying squirrel stared in horror as they realized something. The squirrel spoke first- "Hey, what happened to Sky Byte?" The frog replied for him. "Now one knows. He vanished without a trace." The skunk retaliated with a sound of horror in his voice- "Oh no! Now he'll have to spend the rest of his life on Earth!" Then all three cried out as their microchip disappeared, "Poor Sky Byte!"
As this occurred, a blue dorsal fin cut through the water. The fin's owner was singing a ridiculous tune. "Who's the smartest shark around? Who's the greatest shark in town? Sky Byte…that's me!" the owner yelled as he leapt from the water, to reveal a large blue, robotic-looking shark.
One week later…
"Galvatron, I hereby order you to a lifetime imprisonment in this prison colony. Cause any trouble and we will be forced to have you executed." an old looking robot told Galvatron. This robot was surrounded by looked like a council of other old looking robots. "Council adjourned!" the robot said, banging a gavel (a large on). "I will get my revenge on you, Alpha Trion. This is just the beginning! Someday, I will break free. And you, and your pitiful creations, particularly Optimus Prime, will beg for mercy at the hands of Galvatron!" Galvatron ranted as he was dragged away. "Phew. Well, I don't think he'll give us anymore trouble, eh Optimus?" Alpha Trion said as he turned to the side of the room, where Optimus and a blue and white robot stood. "Hmph. If you ask me, Alpha Trion, you're wasting your time. You should've had him in front of a firing squad by now. Or me, whichever does a better job." the robot said, with a look of disappointment on his face. "Now, Ultra Magnus, it would be unbecoming and Autobot if we were to do that," Alpha Trion said. "Don't you agree, Optimus?" "Actually, I do. I just don't feel that it's going to be the last of him." Optimus said, rather worried.
Present day…
"Got any three's?" a green robot with a mouth-plate asked the skunk. "Go fish." he told him. "Bah! What a waste of time! The only thing these Predacons can do right is win at card games!" the robot ranted as he threw down his cards and began moping. "Oh please, Mega-Octane. What did you expect? That is all their good at." the black Optimus said. "We can prove you wrong, Scourge. You just watch!" the frog said. "Enough! Both of you." Galvatron yelled, getting the entire cell's occupants. "Soon, we shall get out of here. And when we do, the Autobots will be vanquished!" Just as Galvatron finished speaking, a large noise was heard. "What, in Unicron's name, was that?" Galvatron queried. "It sounded like an explosion." the flying squirrel said. "Yeah. Hey, maybe it's a clever diversion, while we're busted out of here." the frog said. "You're just dreaming, Slapper. If that were true, then where are our rescuers? We've been in this stinkin' cell, for over two Earth years. And with imprisonment, that's a long time. Especially when they'll only let you play Go Fish." the skunk said.
What the skunk didn't know was, at that moment, a large, red and black, three-headed dog came up to the cell and ripped away it's titanium duroplex, di-cast bars (an almost lost art) apart, like they were candy canes. The robots are taken back, as are the animals. Galvatron is the only one who remains firm. "What are you doing here?" he demands.
"Megaton. My master has come to rescue you." the dog spoke, with three almost identical voices.
"What? What master? I don't even know you." Galvatron remarked.
"Hey, dog boy. He's not Megatron anymore, he's Galvatron." Slapper pointed out.
"I DON"T GIVE A DAMN!" the right head cried, the mouth restrained by a muzzle of sorts. "Gentelbots. You must forgive my significant other. He's…crazy." the center head spoke up, apologizing for his other's attitude.
"We could tell. Hey, what makes you think we can trust you." the flying squirrel said.
"We go, Dark Scream. But we shall not follow our Cerberus robot of a friend here. No. We shall go our own way." Galvatron contemplated.
"*Snort* Suit yourself, Megatron." the left head interjected, turning away as it lead the rest of the body away from the bars towards a far end of the prison colony.
"Come, my Decepticons and Predacons. We leave now. But we move quietly and quickly. If we strike first, we may be able to take a prisoner. And Fortress Maximus." Galvatron smirked upon muttering Fortress Maximus.
"Are you sure that you wish to remain here, Ultra Magnus?" a red and black robot asked a larger blue and white one.
"Yeah, I'm positive. Galvatron might come up to something. Like that meteorite crashing into the asteroid an hour ago. I still think it was a diversion." the blue and white robot, Ultra Magnus, replied.
"They've searched the area. All the crazy prisoners claim to have seen a large three-headed dog bust through Section C-14. There's no possible way Galvatron could be freed. Anyway, I should be off. Optimus Prime wants me to return Fortress Maximus to Cybertron for analysis and upgrading." the red robot said as he turned around.
"On the contrary, Cerebros. You'll be joining us on Earth." a voice called behind them.
"It is Galvatron! But how did he get freed?" Cerebros inquired.
"None of your business. Now, come peacefully, and we won't have to hurt your dear friend, Ultra Magnus here." Galvatron said as he pointed to a locked-and-loaded Ultra Magnus.
"Boohoo. I'm scared. You got me quiverin'! Arm Cannon!" Magnus yelled as he let loose a rapid-fire laser barrage at the Decepticons, who, without their weaponry rearmed, were knocked back. "Care for some, Galva-dork?" Magnus asked as he began firing towards Galvatron. That is, until, an energy net was flung around him.
"Ah ha ha ha ha! Face it Magnus. Your toast. Throw him into the prison of Fortress Maximus, Scourge. And as for Cerebros…Slapper, do your stuff!" Galvatron ordered.
"Yes sir." Slapper said as he smacked Cerebros in the back of the head. This did almost nothing as Cerebros kept running.
"I must…warn Optimus Prime." Cerebros said. He almost made it to the alarm when he felt smoke rise up around him. Yellow smoke. It was very pretty. It also made him sleepy. Then, he was down like a light.
"This was easy. Too easy." Slapper said as he went over to Cerebros and picked him up, with some difficulty.
"Indeed sir. Perhaps we should get moving before some Autobots show up." Mega-Octane suggested to Galvatron.
"Good point, Mega-Octane. Let us board Fortress Maximus. After we get Cerebros reprogrammed to do what Slapper tells him, we can debug our systems and rearm ourselves." Galvatron ordered. Cries of 'Yes Sir!' were heard in the dock.
Three minutes later…
"OK, this is how it works. Here," Slapper said, showing his comrades how to use Cerebros as a puppet. "This is where you speak to have Cerebros talk. Just make sure to whisper audibly, so that he hears you, but no one else does. And here," he said, pointing to some buttons. "This is where you have him move. It's tricky, but better than nothing."
"Well done Slapper. For once, you did something right." Galvatron commented as Slapper began to cry in glee.
"Sir, the debugger is ready. We want you to go first." a tan tank-like robot came into the bridge of Fortress Maximus and informed his leader.
"Good job, Armourhide. Tell Scourge that I'll be there shortly." Galvatron ordered.
"Yes sir!" Armourhide said as he turned and walked off.
"This just keeps getting better…" Galvatron smirked and then walked off, followed by Dark Scream and Gas Skunk, leaving Slapper to tend to Cerebros.
"Optimus, come in. Emergency!" a transparent, cute brunette called, as she floated to a monitor, where Prime's head showed up.
"What is it, T-AI?" Prime asked.
"It's Cerebros. He's taking Fortress Maximus with him to Earth. He's also acting weird, like some sort of marionette. And I also can't contact Ultra Magnus. I think…" T-AI began.
"Maximus? Earth? I told Cerebros to never go back there unless the Council of Vector Sigma or myself gave him a direct order. But don't about Magnus. I'm sure he's just ignoring you." Prime said, matter-o-factly.
"Actually, sir, my scanners indicate that Magnus id unconscious inside Fortress Maximus. And to make matters worse, I received news from the prison complex that Galvatron's cell bars were ripped ascender. And, naturally they've escaped. They even reported seeing a three-headed dog leap into space, and then disappear, like a ship were cloaked or something." T-AI said.
"What? This is bad. Very, very bad. T-AI. Summon the Autobots. All of them that were with me, supposed to be with me on the Earth Campaign, and any new recruits. Have them meet me at hangar 59 in two mega cycles. As for yourself, download yourself to the computer back at Autobot HQ back on Earth. We may have unexpected company, and you can only warn Koji and his family, not to mention the two teams I left on Earth in case this happened again." Prime ordered.
"Yes sir." T-AI said as Prime disappeared from the screen. "All right. Calling all Autobots. Autobot Brothers. Spychangers. Team Bullet Train. Build Team. Skid-Z. Tow Line. Come in! Meet Optimus Prime at Hangar 59 in two hours. It's urgent." T-AI said.
"Right!" was heard from everyone except for from a black Porsche. "Sorry, T- AI, but I'll be delayed. I'm testing two new recruits out here, and…"
"Listen, Hot Shot, Galvatron most certainly has captured Fortress Maximus, and they're heading for Earth. If there are new recruits for the Spychangers, than they can get in some field training. Got it?" T-AI barked.
"Yes sir, ma'am, sir!" Hot Shot said, kind of out of it, as he disappeared from screen.
"All right. Activating space travel download sequence." T-AI said, as she began to disappear.
"Download complete." T-AI said, as she started walking around the old base. "Gee, you leave something alone for three years, and it gets THIS dusty? Sheesh. Oh well. I'll contact one of Optimus' secret teams, then tell Koji about what's happening." T-AI said as she activated the computer. "OK, Teletran II. Listen up. First, clean this place up. Second, activate the Member Select Program. Calling the Defense Corp…"
Don't you just hate it when an author cuts it off here? Well, anyway, this was my first RiD fic, as well as my second fanfic without crossing over. Sorry about my spelling of 'Armourhide', it's just that spelling armour has a 'u' in it, here in Canada. And no, I'm not writing this in an igloo, or in a Mountie uniform, or in a teepee. Anyway, any guesses as to whom Cerberus' master is? No? Well, read the next fic. And I better get at least 5 reviews…
