To You, 2,000 Years in the Future
Megatron's escape pod blasted through a field of asteroids, leaving smaller bits of destroyed meteorites behind it as it crashed into the solar rocks. The pods hull scraped against one of the many rocks, leaving deep scratches in its side.
Megatron was forcefully jerked awake, his red optics illuminating the dark confines of the pod with a dim red glow. The glass shield on the stasis pods front panel had become frozen over with ice from the voids harsh freezing temperatures. He slammed his fisted servo against the front panel, doing no damage to it. He growled angrily. A red light flashed on and off inside the pod, as the front panel opened. Megatron was pulled out by the oxygens disperse into the vacuum. The hilt of the Dark Star Saber caught the rim of the opened panel, causing it to become stuck inside the pod.
The atmosphere of a nearby planet caught the pod in its grip, pulling it towards its surface. "Slag it." The ex-tyrant cursed under his angered breath. He transformed into his jet form, igniting his thruster and chasing after it. They were both surrounded by a fiery wind as they entered the planet's atmosphere. The pods weight caused it fall a bit faster than Megatron. It crashed to the ground, stirring up dust and dirt and leaving a large crater. Megatron transformed back to his bipedal form, landing next to his destroyed pod. The blade of his sword had stabbed through the cybertronian steel of the hull. He grabbed the hilt, pulling the sword out and putting it back into the sheath on his back. Megatron looked around, the area was lush with grass and fresh water flowing down a creek bed. The old him would have considered this beautiful planet to be regal with opportunity. He looked at himself in the cracked shielding glass from the pod. Black burns had scorched his chassis from entering the planet's fiery atmosphere. "Well, it's an improvement." He chuckled to himself. He checked the fusion cannon on his right arm, the entry of the planet's atmosphere had caused the inside of the cannon to become complete scorched, ruining the paint and the cannon itself. At Least until he could clean out the inside of the cannon's barrel.
The cybertronian took a wiff of the air, it smelled of hot steam and. Blood? This drew Megatron's attention and mostly his curiosity. He followed the lingering scent of gore and entrails, which came from an area against the winds current direction. The winds cold breeze blew against his metal hull as he entered a vast jungle of trees and brush. The trees covered the blue skies overhead as the cybertronian paced through the thick brush of fallen trees and limbs. The area around him was dark, only his sword let out a glowing purple pulse that illuminated his surroundings. Megatron looked around, cutting through the fallen trees in his path with the blade from his arm. Megatron withdrew the sword on his back, cutting through the trees around him with a single swing, giving him a clear view of the area beyond the thick brush of the trees.
A massive pillar of steam towered over a thick stone wall. A colossal red steaming arm swung out of the steam, sliding across the wall and destroying the top. The steam dispersed, a skinless colossus, lifted its leg back, and bringing it back down against the wall, destroying what looked like a gate to the inside.
-Wall Maria, Shiganshina District-
A burst of yellow lightning struck the area outside of the wall, erupting a column of steam in front of the wall's gate. The citizens froze, all eyes were on the top of the wall, no one daring to breath as they stared up at the steam erupting from the other side of the wall. A colossal red hand grasped the top of the wall, pulling up the rest of its body. A large skinless face peered over the wall, looking down at the people of the walled city.
"I-is that a…" A boy and his friends stood at the end of the street heading down the center of the city, in shock at the sight of the colossus looking into the city. "A Titan!?" The gate was destroyed in an instant, its rubble exploded against the houses it hit. The colossus' feet was seen through the gaping hole in the walls gate. Smaller more human-like titans dumbly strolled into the city through the hole. A eager and dim smile on most of their faces, leaving fear in the hearts of the civilians. Their screams echoed throughout the city as they ran towards the gate at the other end of the city. The boy looked as the area around his house had been destroyed by the gates remains, he stared towards his home in shock. "Eren, we need to go." The black haired girl pulled at his sleeve. Eren fought back, breaking her grip and running towards his home.
He looked up at the steaming colossus with anger and fury, while running towards his home.
Megatron transformed into his alt form, bursting through the air and flying around the colossus' head. He transformed back into his bipede form, landing on the wall in front of the colossal monstrosity. He noticed a city built inside the wall. The wall wrapped around the outer border of the city, connecting to another wall that stretched across the land and far out of sight. Humans ran towards the other end of the city and slowly out of the gate.
"Humans?" The ex-tyrant said in shock, he looked up at the colossus, anger in his optics, he withdrew the dark star saber. Running towards the colossal's face he swung his blade, cutting through the monster's jaw. The colossal's attention turned to the cybertronian, it;s eyes widening in disbelief. Megatron turned back around, pulling his sword to his side and running back to the colossal's face. He slashed his blade through the titanous beasts cheek. The colossus raised its hand, dragging it along the top of the wall. Megatron transformed, flying over the titans arm and around its head. He converted back into his robot mode, landing on the colossals shoulder. With a single downward swing of his sword, he created a beam of energy that sliced through the thick hide of its shoulder. The ex-con jumped off before the arm had come unattached from the the colossals shoulder. Steam rose from the open wounds on its jaw line as the torn jaw began to regenerate. Megatron landed on the ground with a massive thud, shaking the in a slight bit. He looked up at the colossal as its face returned to normal. The flesh red arm landed behind Megatron, not even flinching from it land so close to him, he continued to watch as the colossal's arm socket let out towers of steam as its arm began to regrow. The former warlord raised a metal eyebrow at the peculiar sight. He looked behind him. The colossal's arm had began to disintegrate, leaving only bits of bone, before they began to evaporate as well.
"Well," he said to himself. "This surely is interesting." The colossal turned his way, its movements slowed even more by the regrowing of its arm and jaw. Megatron reached for the hilt of the blade on his back.
CRASH
Another flash of yellow lightning struck the inside the city. Megatron stopped, he transformed, flying up over the wall, avoiding as the colossal tried to grasp him.
An armoured titan, much shorter than the colossal, about 15 meters tall, charged down the center of the city towards the gate. It burst through houses in its way, leaving nothing standing in its path.
Megatron blasted past it, transforming and landing in front of it. He dug his pedes into the ground, holding his arms out ready to stop it. Not even batting an eye the armoured titan rammed into Megatron, breaking through the human's defences and bursting through the gate with Megatron in tow. Megatron rolled across the ground as they come to the other side of the wall, the cybertronian charged at the titan as it turned its attention away from him. "DON'T YOU DARE LOOK AWAY FROM ME!" Megatron withdrew his sword pushing the titan down. When the titan attempted to return the attack, Megatron grabbed its fist before it could make contact with him. He swung the titan overhead. He looked to the side, the humans were evacuating to a pair of boats lined along the river, most of them crowded in front of the the docks as the boats became filled.
The titan charged at Megatron again. Megatron held his fist out at the last second, tricking the titan into running into his fist. The titan continued to attack, only for Megatron to counter with a punch, a slash of his sword, or a kick to the abdomen. Megatron turned his attention back to the armoured titan as the boats left, leaving over a hundred civilians left stranded. The titan was gone. He looked up, the column of steam finally dissipating, indicating the colossal had gone away like the armoured one. Megatron watched the boats sail down the river, he transformed bursting through the air away from the area, following the river below him.
