Animated Masterforce
Chapter 2: The Tide Is Turned! Re-enter Ginrai!
The day couldn't get any weirder. There were two Lugnut's and now a robot the size of Omega Supreme had just shown up. And of course there was the little matter of Bumblebee, Sari, and the Jet Twins who were groaning and whispering that 'it couldn't be them' and 'we are so doomed' and 'brother we be goners'. Optimus wasn't really sure that he wanted to know how things could get any worse but quickly discovered how when several other Decepticons showed up. He recognized Blitzwing but none of the others.
"Well, pathetic Autobot scum, we meet again," the big robot said, looking pointedly at Bumblebee, Sari, and the Jet Twins.
"Hi, Overlord," Bumblebee waved. "Good to see you again."
"You know this overgrown idiot?" Ratchet grunted.
"Yeah he well, they actually, are in charge of the Decepticons," Bumblebee explained.
"They're the second-in-command," Sari corrected. "Devil Z is the ruler of the Decepticons."
"I am the ruler of the Decepticons!" Megatron roared suddenly, startling everyone as they had forgotten all about him.
Overlord snorted. "You? You are even more pathetic than the Autobot scum!"
"How dare you say that to me?" Megatron roared then leapt at Overlord, tackling him to the ground.
"Now things are going to get interesting," Bumblebee said happily.
"Bumblebee, just how do you know him?" Optimus asked slowly.
"It's a long story," the orange and black minibot replied.
"It be a very long story," Jetfire added.
"It be really, really, really, really long," Jetstorm said.
Optimus groaned then leapt into the battle, deciding that helping Megatron defeat Overlord would be more beneficial to their combined health.
"He doesn't stand a chance," Bumblebee sighed then jumped back just in time to avoid being killed by Lugnut.
"Neither do you," Lugnut growled as he fired again.
"We not be agreeing!" Jetfire and Jetstorm yelled as they combined into Safeguard once again.
Lugnut simply laughed as the three minibots (technically two) began attacking him. "Fools! You cannot hope to beat me! I am one of Lord Giga's soldiers! One of the ones that he brought with him from Seibertron! Prepare to die!"
"I not be wanting to die!" Jetstorm yelped as a blast hit him on his side.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Decepticons, Sari, Ratchet, Prowl and Bulkhead were busy fighting Blitzwing and the Dark Wing brothers while Optimus and Megatron battled Overlord. "Where did you come from?" Prowl yelled as his shuriken bounced harmlessly off of Blitzwing (the other one) before returning to his servo.
"Ask them," Blitzwing replied, gesturing towards Bumblebee and the Jet Twins. "They know vhere ve came from as do their techno organic friend."
"And just how do they know that?" Ratchet demanded.
"They stayed with us for about a veek," Blitzwing answered then shot Ratchet, knocking the medibot into stasis lock.
"Well actually we stayed with the other Autobots," Bumblebee interjected then transformed into vehicle mode before running away from Lugnut, the Jet Twins not far behind.
"Come back and fight you cowards!" Lugnut roared, chasing after them.
"Not if it gets us killed!" Bumblebee retorted as he returned to robot mode, jumping into a tree which lost one of its branches thanks to Lugnut.
Lugnut took aim and fired, knocking the entire tree down. Bumblebee fell to the ground and lay there, completely still. Before the Jet Twins had time to react Lugnut fired at them as well, sending them back to separate jets before they crashed into the fallen tree. "It was worth kissing up to that egomaniac, Megatron, simply because I got to beat you guys up!" the Decepticon chuckled. Then he turned and surveyed the scene. Ratchet, Prowl, and Sari were out of the fight and the only Autobot left standing was Optimus Prime who was losing very badly as both Megatron and Overlord were attacking him. The rest of the Decepticons were still standing, just watching their respective leaders battle each other for dominance. "Decepticons," Lugnut roared. "I, Lugnut, am now taking over you! From now on you will obey me and me alone!"
"You are not in charge," Overlord stated then split up into two separate robots.
"We are," Giga announced, crossing his arms and scowling at Lugnut.
"You should know your place by now, Lugnut," Mega added as she shot Megatron one more time, causing the mighty Decepticon leader to fall on the ground next to Optimus Prime.
"My lord and lady," Starscream came forward and knelt on the ground in front of them. "I am Starscream, your most loyal and trustworthy servant. I beg of you, give me a chance to serve you and I will prove myself to you. You are the only ones worthy of leading the mighty Decepticons."
Giga and Mega exchanged glances then Mega said, "You are a suck-up and nothing more. But we could always make use of you."
"Thank you, my lady," Starscream inclined his head towards them then stood up.
"And what shall we do with the rest of you?" Giga asked, looking pointedly at the still standing Decepticons.
"Ve shall never join you," Blitzwing (the Animated one) declared.
"Then you shall suffer the same fate as your leader," Mega replied and motioned to Lugnut.
Lugnut nodded then grabbed Blitzwing and soon had him bound in stasis cuffs and sat him next to the other Lugnut and Megatron.
"Well this is not good," Prowl groaned as he slowly sat up, rubbing his aching processor.
"Agreed," Ratchet grunted.
"Well at least it can't get any worse," Optimus Prime said.
Right about then they all heard a loud stomping noise. They turned and saw several more Decepticons heading their way. There were several weird looking ones that reminded Optimus of octopuses' and three…animal looking robots.
"Okay so it can get worse," Optimus sighed.
"No! Not them!" Bumblebee groaned.
"Well if it isn't the pathetic Autobots!" the one that looked like a giant pink and gray rat with wings sneered.
"Hi, Wilder," Bumblebee groaned.
"All right that's it. What is going on here and, Bumblebee, how do you know them?" Optimus demanded.
"Well you see, boss-bot," Bumblebee began to explain. "It's a very long story."
"We have time," Bulkhead said.
"No you don't," the pink and blue dragon laughed. "We're going to put an end to you Autobots once and for all."
"Cancer," Mega said disapprovingly. "Giga and I get to say that line."
"Sorry," Cancer mumbled.
The blue and white bull began to laugh. At least until Cancer shot him. "Hey, don't do that!"
"Sorry, Bullhorn," Cancer said sweetly.
"They are vorse than us!" Blitzwing exclaimed from his position next to Megatron.
"Shut up, three-face," Megatron grunted.
"Time to eliminate you for good," Giga said. He prepared to fire at them but just then he was shot from behind.
"Who did that?" Mega yelled angrily as she turned around and her optics widened. There stood yet another Prime.
"You've got to be kidding," Prowl said as he stared at the new arrival.
"Yes!" Sari, Bumblebee, and the Jet Twins cheered.
"You are doomed, Ginrai!" Giga and Mega shrieked as they combined into Overlord once more.
"Now it's getting good," Bumblebee said happily as he made himself comfortable.
A/N: Sorry this is so late but for some reason having no school makes me busier than usual. I'll do my absolute best to update some of my other stories before Sunday but I can't make any promises. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
