In the Beast Wars reality...
"The floating island! Tigatron loved it here." said a glooming Airazor as she thought of her missing friend. "Don't worry, maybe with your wish you can get your friend back." Leobreaker said, trying to help. "Heh, with my wish, I'll make all those good-for-nothing Decepticons disappear." said Topspin. "I see our target, on top of that tower." said Rhinox as he pointed to the center of the island. "All right, approach carefully, and follow my lead. This place is full of traps, so -" Airazor was immediately cut off by a screeching Swoop, who was pointing in another direction. "What's with him?" asked Leobreaker. "I see it, Decepticons!" said Topspin as he started charging forward. "No! Wait!" But Airazor's warning was unheeded as Topspin continued his attack.
"An Autobot!" said a gleeful Predaking. "Let's get 'em! Huh, huh, huh!" replied an over-eager Demolisher. "No! Don't fire your weapons!" But just like Airazor, Tarantulas's warning fell on deaf ears as the two Decepticons charged with all guns blazing. As the tower and one of the symbols Topspin ran by stared to glow, Airazor and Tarantulas's cry came in unison.
"EVERYBODY GET DOWN!"
The tower let loose with a powerful laser that shot Predaking and Demolisher off of the island. At the same time, the ground gave out under Topspin, making him fall to the ground below. "Oh no, what are we going to do? We're two short." said a worried Tarantulas. "Don't worry. Uh, 'Waspinator', was it? Would you be so kind to attack the Autobots?" asked a scheming Airachnid. "No. Wazzzzpinator not truzzzzzt Spider-Lady." Waspinator replied. "I think you have no choice." and with that comment, Airachnid put Waspinator under her control and made him charge at the Autobots, crashing right into Swoop, result in a skirmish between the two of them.
"Excellent Airachnid, with Waspinator keeping them busy, we will -" WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Tarantulas turned around to see Airachnid digging into the ground out of sight. "Airachnid! Wait! What about me?!" Tarantulas's question would go unanswered as he felt himself being picked up into the air. "And where do you think you're going, pipsqueak?" Tarantulas looked behind him to see that a smiling Leobreaker was holding him like a doll.
Airachnid broke through the surface at the entrance to the tower. "Ah, the Allspark will soon be mine, and with it, I will overthrow Megatron and rule the Decepticons!" "Not if I have anything to say about it!"Airachnid turns to see Airazor slam into her face, knocking her off-balance. As Airachnid regained her bearings, Airazor was flying all around her, trying to make her dizzy. But Airachnid managed to see an opening and shot Airazor with her webbing, sticking her to the wall. "Now, just 'stick around' while I get -" "Got it!" Airachnid spun around to see Rhinox holding the Allspark, realizing that Airazor was only a distraction. Her screams of rage were close to breaking everyone's audio sensors as they vanished back to the Gamer's lair.
"The Decepticons drew first blood, but The Autobots have retaliated." said The Gamer. "I do love it when the game is at a tie, adds so much more spice." The shadowy figures just looked on, wondering if The Gamer did understand the stakes of this contest, or if he just saw this as fun.
