No POV
"By the all spark!" Ratchet dogged the Mini-Con as it tried to jump on his face. It tried a second time but Ratchet deflected it, using a piece on metal. He tried swinging at it, but it was just as fast. It's long sharp legs sliced his microscope in half. "I needed that!" Ratchet yelled, now really pissed.
The Mini-Con went for his face again, but was shot clean in the sky, thanks to Optimus. It tried to get up, but was squashed like a bug under his giant foot.
"And stay broken!" Ratchet yelled. "Now what could have cased that?" He turned to Optimus.
"I have a grave suspicion Ratchet." Optimus stared at the broken Con. "Dark energon."
Ratchet optics grew wide. "So that's why it looked so familiar. If it affected Arcee, then do you suppose Nora...?"
Optimus shock his head. "She has been acting company normal, in my case. But I fear, if the Deceptions are harvesting dark energon, We my not be able to hide this secret for much longer."
Ratchet looked worried, especially for Optimus. "Optimus, Nora is a good kid, you-all of us have been remarkable at taking care of her, despite of what she holds inside..." He looked down at the Con. "We will keep this to ourselves, and if we can no longer I believe in my spark, that she will 'not' turn agents us."
Optimus put his hand on his dear friend's shoulder and smiled. "Thank you, old friend."
On board the Nemesis, Megatron was in a days. After fusing with the dark energon, he now felt overwhelmed with power. Starscream however, was a bit nervous about his masters choice. No being had ever fused with the destroyer's blood-or at least lived. However Nora was her own species, two very different kinds of species, perfectly formed into what she is. But with her possesses dark energon was still unsolved.
"Lord Megatron?" Starscream asked, seeing if his master was still conscious.
The giant Con took deep breaths. "It's as if the blood of Unicron the destroyer, flows threw my vines." He looked at his servos. "As if, I hear his very thoughts. I now know what I must do." He pulled a dark energon shard from the giant crystal, and headed out.
"A-And, what can I do to assist you master?" Starscream bowed slightly.
"Quit groveling," Megatron growled. "and wait my commands." He walked onto the ships., transformed and flew off.
Starscream watched, before Soundwave, the Deception's eyes and ears snuck up behind him. "Soundwave! I feared that when our master reached for the stars, he came down with a bit of, space madness. Lord Megatron has not been on sound judgments sense his return. Increase global services." He commanded.
Soundwave's purpose was to see and hear everything that happens, and that means everything. Sense he face was nothing but a screen he's only way of communicating was to play back anything he as heard from others.
"Quit groveling," he played Megatrons order back, "and wait my commands."
"I'm not deaf!" Starscream yelled. "But if Optimus Prime lives, I believe it is in Lord Megatron's best interest that we insure his enemies discussion." He grinned wickedly.
Nora's POV
My alarm clock went off, causing me to jolt slightly from the noise. I quickly shut in off, rolling on my back I stared at the sealing. Yesterday's events were pretty crazy. First, dad decided to have more humans around, then we tried to escape an exploding mine, and failed to save Cliffjumper again, then I stayed for dinner at Jacks place and ate something that was called lasagna I think? Then I called Ratchet to bridge me home.
Weird, that's what my life was. It still hurt me for losing Cliff a second time, but thinking back I knew I couldn't be sad forever, Cliff wouldn't want that. And I still needed to apologize to the others on how I acted yesterday.
Quickly getting dressed and freshening up I headed into to main room, where I could hear dad and Ratchet talking about something. I was coming around the corner till heard dad say something I did not like.
"...Then the very same substance brought Cliffjumper, back from the dead." That stopped me in my tracks. Then I remembered Cliff leaking purple fluids out of his body, and feeling sick yet very powerful at the same time. Why was that, I then thought back to last time I got a really bad injury, I was bleeding and I remembered it being purple. But that was at least eight mouths ago, and I remembered Ratchet saying that I was just sick and that being half human could cuss effects to my body. So I didn't bother thinking too much. But now... I hid around the corner so I could listen in.
"Hmm, that would account for his life signal inexplicably coming back online, but dark energon? It's so scarce is to be virtually nonexistent. What would it be doing on earth?" I heard Ratchet say.
Dark energon? What could that be? I wondered.
"It's transported, by Megatron." Dad said.
"For what purpose?" Ratchet asked.
"To conquer this planet, by raising an army, of the undead." My eyes widened in shock and fear. Bring the dead back alive?! It sounded like a horror film, only instead of humans, Autobots! The thought was too scary, and I didn't want to hear anymore. But I was determined to find out more
Pushing that scary thought in the back of my head I walked into the room smiling happily as if I never heard a thing. "Morning." I said, getting their attention.
Dad smiled and kneeled down offering his finger to me. I hugged it. "Good morning sweetspark. How did you sleep? Arcee comlinked me that you sent the evening having dinner at Jack's place?"
"Yeah, it wasn't that bad." I scratched my head sheepishly. "It was a new experience, and I guess a good one." I smiled back at him.
"I am glad to hear that."
The sounds of vehicles driving up behind us caught our attention. Arcee, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead all stopped in front of us, with Jack, Raf, and Miko.
As the Autobots transformed they all said good morning to me, Bulkhead shifted uncomfortably and opened his chest plate taking out a guitar case, handing it to Miko.
I felt a little uncomfortable, that last time I was with them I said some pretty bad stuff. I felt I light push on my back, dad was using his finger to encourage me to go up to them. Even though I was nervous I knew I had been through way worse then apologizing to someone.
Taking a deep breath I walked in front of them, they all looked at me with a bit of worry, probably not knowing how I was going to reacted. "I, want to say...that I'm, s-sorry." I bowed my head slightly, so not to looked directly at their faces. "What I said, was not appropriate, and hurtful. I am still trying to get use to your presence, and I was going through some...really tough times." I looked back up at them. "I did, have fun with you, and if you want to give me another chance I would very much like that." Everything thing was quite, and it was bothering me. Did I do alright? I said what I felt, and I was honest, will they not forgive me.
Raf was the first to make a move, he walk right up to me and smiled. "We forgive you." I looked at the others who were smiling to. "And we want to say sorry to, we're sorry that you lost one of your family members, and that we jumped in without thinking on how you were feeling. If you ever want to talk, we will listen."
I eyes were starting to water a little, I quickly wiped them away, I noticed all the Autobots smiling down at us.
"Aw, your first human friends Nora!" Bumblebee beeped happily.
"Bee!" I started to feel red.
"As much as it pleases me to see cooperate we must get back to bases." Dad said, walking in front on the others. "Autobots, prepare to-" He stopped when he glanced down at us. Now that there were humans around, I was guessing the rules will have to change a little. That never was a really big problem when it was just me, being half Autobot, but the others didn't exactly have protective armor.
"Roll out?" Arcee asked.
"Remain here. Ratchet, you'll come with me. Arcee, we will be outside communication range for sometime. So I'm putting you in charge."
"Dude, your biggest, you should be the boss." Miko looked up at Bulkhead.
"It doesn't always work that way." I said to her.
"Uh, he never picks me." Bulkhead explained.
"Not since when Nora was five." Bumblebee beeped, crossing his arms.
"Hey, that was a long time ago!" Bulkhead pointed at him. "And I learned to lock the training room."
"Oh for spark sake." I grumbled, no matter how much we may act in fighting a war, we still argued like a regular family.
"Why, what happened?" Miko asked, looking excited.
"I turned on the practice gun fire, and almost gave dad and Ratchet a spark attack." I said, twirling my hair a bit, looking embarrassed.
Jack looked at me as if I was crazy, and I heard Raf say "wow", while Miko asked if she could see the training room.
"Optimus, with all due respect," Acree spoke up, "Playing bodyguard is one thing, babysitting's another."
I heard Jack sigh out, I leaned over to him. "You'll get use to it."
"Besides Ratchet hasn't been in the filled sense the war."
"My pistons maybe rusty, but my hearing is sharp as ever!" Ratchet shouted, not liking to be known as the old bot.
"For the moment, it's only reconstruction." Dad assured.
"Then why do I hear an edge in your voice?" I could hear it to, dad was keeping the dark energon information from the rest of us, and only Ratchet knew about it, that's why he was taking him. Not that I don't trust dad, but if what said about bring the dead to life was true, there no way he and Ratchet would stand against an army. I did want to speak up, but my other side was telling me this was dads and Megatron's fight alone.
"Arcee much has changed in the last 24 hours, and we all need to adapt. Ratchet, bridge us out." As the ground bridge opened, Dad and Ratchet walk through, going who knows where. I worried a bit, but I knew I had to trust them.
"Okay chief," Jack said, looking confused as the rest as us, "What's on the activity list?" He looked up to Arcee, since she was in charge at the moment.
She rolled her optics and walked away. "I'm going on patrol."
"But Optimus told us to stay." Bulkhead said.
"When your in charge you can call the shots." She turned to Bumblebee. "Bee, with me."
Bee whined, not to thrilled on going, but he didn't want to irritate Arcee any further.
"Bulkhead, your in charge," she then looked down to me, "Nora, your free to come."
I looked at the other humans, before replying. "I think I'm good." I smiled. "Watch your speed limit this time okay?" She rolled her optics again, but I got a smile. The two bot transformed and were off.
"So uh...what's on the activity list." Bulkhead asked. I watched as Miko plunged her guitar into a giant speaker, making static noses so bad we all covered our ears.
"How about band practice?" She asked, smiling brightly.
"But, we're not s band." Raf said.
"Why so antisocial? Come on Raf, you play anything?"
"Um, keyboard?" He said, lifting up his laptop.
"Laptops and samples, good." Miko the. Turned to Jack. "Jack, anything?"
Jack scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "I, sometimes mess around on the harmonica."
"Do I look like I do country?" She got right into his face. "Just, cover yourself in fate blood and jump around screaming."
"I'd pay to see that." I giggled.
"Next, Nora, whatcha got?" Miko eyes seemed to sparkle. I bet she thought since I was half Autobot I'd played this flaming double neck guitar. I love listening to music, but I've never picked up an interment before in my life. Although there is-no don't go there Nora! You promised never in front of people.
"S-Sorry Miko, I got nothing. But I'll be glad to join Jack." I smiled, hoping she believed me.
"But Nora, I've heard you sing before. And doesn't a band have a singer?" Bulkhead asked, not realizing what he just did. I quickly turned and glared at him trying to get him to shut up. But I was too late.
"You SING?!" Miko squealed.
"By myself! And no, I'm not going to be your vocalist in the band." I put my foot down making it final. "Besides, I don't like singing in front of people, and the bots only ever listen to me behind my back." I gave a quick glare to Bulkhead.
"Aw, come on Nora, I bet you sing great!" Miko patted my shoulder. "Just think about it for now." She turned to the green bot. "Bulkhead, percussion! We'll go for a big industrial sound. DIY, we're a band. You just got to learn the sounds, this ones a baled, my fist your face!" She started strumming her guitar so loud, now I'm not saying it was bad, just not something I like hearing so loud and up close.
Just then the alarm and logs went off, Bulkhead told Miko to stop for a minute, which bothered her.
"Come on, you can't handle raw power?" She asked.
"Proximity Spenser. Quick hide!" The kids ran behind Bulkhead giant foot, I however didn't need to hide. Fowler has known me ever since I was found by the bots. He and some of the other humans helped raise me, because I was so little and delicate. He may acted angry and stern at the bots all the time, but that's his why of showing he worries about us and civilization.
The elevator doors open and Agent Fowler walked in, clearly not happy with something. "Prime!" He shouted.
"Yes Fowler?" I asked politely, Prime was my last name.
"Not you Nora, the big Prime. Where is he?!"
"Agent Fowler, uh-he's not here. N-Nobody's here, except me and Nora of course." Bulkhead sheepishly chuckled, but that didn't make things better.
"Well where did he go? Oh don't tell me, he's out pancaking a mini mall." That was kind of offensive to me. Yes the Autobots are giant and powerful but there careful...most of the time.
"Now I don't know what language you bots speak on your planet, but Prime promised he would handle the Deceptions-" He kept yelling at Bulkhead, I noticed the cord from Miko's guitar was pulling right behind his foot, making noise. We all knew that where was 98% chase Fowler was going to find the kids. "-and blowing a crater in Nebraska is not what the word handle mean in English!" He went on, pointing at poor Bulkhead. "So you tell Prime-" he finally heard the noise and looked down, the cord was pulling on the speaker. I tried to smile and act all innocent, but Fowler was too smart for that. "Since when are you Bots electric? Or is Nora learning an interment?"
It was no use, we were caught. Jack, Miko and Raf can out of hiding. "Hey, how you doing?" Jack kindly asked.
"Contact with civilians! Team Prime has really don't off book this time. Wait don't tell me, you running a day care senator?" Fowler growled. "So how did Prime screw up on this?"
Jack was about to say something but I budded in. "It was my fault Fowler." Everyone looked at me. "There were cons in the city, following me, I tried to get them away from town, but I guess you can say we were all in the wrong place at the wrong time." I looked right up at him. "I take responsibility for these three, and they know the rules about us, so please don't blame the bots, they nothing to do with this."
Fowler glared up to Bulkhead, then looked down to me and the kids. He seamed to be buying my story, but that didn't mean we weren't still in trouble. "Okay," he finally said, walking down the stairs, "Let's move. I'm taking all three of you into federal custody, it's for you own protection." Before he could come with in six feet on them, Bulkhead blocked him with his foot.
"We're protecting them." He said sternly.
"Is that so?" Fowler walked over to our little.. "Well maybe you can explain that to my superiors at the Pentagon." He picked up the phone.
"Don't use that phone it's-" Bulkhead jammed his finger crushing the phone box. "Out of order." He sheepishly said.
"This, isn't over big butt. Not by a long shot!" Fowler stomped up the stairs, leaving.
"Well, we're all in trouble." I crossed my arms.
"Nora, thanks for having my back. But you didn't have to put this on you." Bulkhead said.
I smiled up at him. "We're family Bulk, we look out for each other. That's what you taught me."
Optimus's POV
Ratchet and I were on the hunt for clues, in a desert badlands. Though I knew what we would find hear, I did not explained to Ratchet.
"Optimus, what do we hope to find here?" He asked me.
"The site of the largest Cybertronian battle field of this galaxy." I said.
"On earth? You must be joking."
"Do you recall the period late in the war, when both sides began hiding their energon spoils, off world?"
"Off course, it's the reason energon deposits exist on planets such as this one."
"It is also the reason battles came to be waged planets such as this one." I explained. "And I fear Megatron is as long as history." I turned to see Ratchet deep in thought. "Is something troubling you Ratchet?"
"I was just thinking back when Nora was five. She started having nightmares and didn't like being left alone. She always said that a giant Decepticon was chasing her and could see nothing but death. And when she was fourteen, she was kidnapped by the Deceptions. It wasn't until mouths after we found her in a giant explosion crater. She asked what had happened, as if she remembered nothing. Do you suppose that now, after Cliffjumper, that power inside of her is building up again?" Ratchet looked to Optimus with concerned.
I stopped walking, and looking up at the cloudy gray sky. 'he thought of my little girl, her kind smile, her spirit...I can never tell her the truth, it would break her. If she ever found out, then I would have failed as a father...
"-Optimus?" The calls of Ratchet brought my sense back to me. No, I will never tell, I shall take that sin with me till me spark gives out. She will never become what she was created for. I swore it!
"We must have faith Ratchet, and love. If we do, I know that our beloved Nora will stay the same.
Nora's POV
After that incident with Agent Fowler, no sooner had the alarms went off again.
"My ears!" Raf winded covering them.
"It's an SOS, from Fowler!" Bulkhead said, looking at the screens. However, he didn't know how to answer the call, for Ratchet was mostly the one who did that.
"Did you trace it?" Raf asked. The alarms finally shut off.
"Location scan was incomplete." Bulkhead said, then shrugged his shoulders. "Oh well."
"What?!" I yelled. I couldn't believe Bulkhead would say that!
"Oh well, seriously?" Jack asked, also not liking what Bulkhead said.
"Fowler's a jerk." Bulkhead turned to us.
"Whoa, whether you like the guy or not the deceptions have him!"
"And Agent Fowler knows your location." Raf said, then realized something. "Our location." He gulped.
"And did not just witness how fast Fowler backs down from a bot, the Cons will totally make him squeal!" Miko added.
I didn't even want to think of what Starscream or even if Megaton was back, what they would do to him. "Bulkhead, Fowler help raise me, therefore he is family to me!" I gave him a stern look. "I already lost Cliff, I don't want Fowler to be tortured by the Deceptions!"
Bulkhead lowered his head in shame, knowing that I was right. He looked back at us. "But we lost the transmission, Fowler could be anywhere."
"Maybe I could narrow it down." Raf said, taking his laptop out of his backpack and and setting it on the ground. "About five years ago the government started micro-chipping their agents. You know like owners do with pets."
We stared down at him with shock. My jaw hung open, how dose a kid know this kinds of stuff?
Raf noticed we were staring at him. "What? I saw it on tv."
Well that makes since.
"Anyway, if I can hack into the fence main frame, maybe I can pin point Flowers cordons."
"You know how to hack. But your like, two years old." Miko said.
"Twelve, and a quarter." Raf smirked.
It took a few minutes till Raf found the Fowler's cordons. "Okay, latitude: 39.5. Longitude 116.9." He said.
Bulkhead started up the ground bridge. "Okay, wait here." He said, headed for the bridge.
"Aw, don't break up the band!" Miko whined.
I ran up next to Bulkhead. "You think your going alone?" I asked.
"Nora, I really don't think Optimus would want you to come on a rescue mission." He said.
"And I know that dad wouldn't allow one of his team mates to go on a mission alone. Besides, you guys taught me all I know, I can handle a few cons." I was serious, I may have not fought as long as the the Autobots, but I know Deception's weak spots.
Thinking about it for a minute, Bulkhead finally gave in, let out a sigh. "You stay were I can see you, and don't get to close, okay?" He said.
"Roger that!" I smiled back.
"W-wait!" Jack and the others ran up to me. "Are you doing to be okay? I mean we've seen what the Deceptions are like and-"
I put my hand up to stop him. "Hey, I may not look like a two story battle bot. But that doesn't mean I can do damage!" I grinned, before my hole body started glowing purple and red.
"W-what's going on?!" Raf said, as they shelled their eyes.
"She's transforming! Just like a magical girl!" Miko squealed like a craz fan girl.
The way I transform is very different from the Autobots. I first leaned to focus that I want to transform, my body starts glowing and I start feeling power go through it. And, just like what Miko said, my armor magically comes out and attaches to me. First my red armor body-suit with a chest plate slimier to Arcee's, with six silver rings, two on my thighs and one around my upper waste. Then my black boots and gloves, then my silver jet wings, facing down attached to a jet. And finally my face-mask and helmet appears till I am fully suited up.
I stood there in all my glory, I couldn't help it, it was the first time they saw me transform. And the look on their faces was worth it!
"Wow." They all said.
"What. Was. AMAZING!" Miko jumped in the air. "You look so cool! Where can I get one?!" She asked.
I giggled feeling bashful, till Bulkhead cleared his throat. "We're running out of time, let's go!" He walked up to the ground bridge before turning to the kids. "Uh, Jack your in charge." Before running through it.
I turned back to them. "Don't worry, we'll be fine." I said, before flying off, following Bulkhead.
When we reached the end, we were in some kind of canon. "Fowler?" Bulkhead called out, till he spotted something. "Uh oh."
"What?" I asked, looking to where he was looking. "Oh scrap." I cursed out. Right around the corner was the deceptions ship the Nemesis, with guards patrolling the floor. This was not good, if Fowler was in there, that means that so is the the entire deception army.
Carefully, we darted closer to the ship, heading behind boulders. There was one vehicon that walked right past us. "Uh Bulkhead." I whisper, landing on his shoulder. "Maybe now would be a good time to call in for back up."
Just when things started to seem bad, it got worse, as we heard a too familiar voice. "Alright," turning our heads to see Miko hiding behind a rock, "What's the plan?" She gave us a thumbs up.
"Miko!?" We both quietly yelled, telling her to zip it. But too late, the vehicon that past us spotted her and aimed his gun to her.
"Miko get down!" Bulkhead yelled, and doing what she was told she jump over the rock before getting blasted. She ran toward me, the con was about to fire again, but Bulkhead jumped him hammering him to the ground. They started punching and swiping claws at each other, Bulkhead pinned him down trying to keep him from getting up again.
Miko grabbed a heavy rock and wobbled to the cons head. "Hold him still!" He smashed the rock on his head, but it hardly left a scratch. I face palmed. What was she thinking?! Bulkhead scooped her up and set her next to me out of harms way. As much as I wanted to fight, I now had to make sure my new friend won't get her guts blasted around the ground.
The vehicon managed to wrestling himself back up, the two bots were "Nora, Miko, look away!" Bulkhead ordered.
"Bu-" Miko tried Bulkhead barked right back.
"Turn your heads away!" Obviously we didn't, I quite frankly I'm glad. Bulkhead drove him fist into the cons chest plate grabbing the whirring and pulling it out, as it sparked. That was the first time I could honestly say that the big guy was a bad ass.
He dropped the offline con before scoping up Miko again and we all hid, I rested on his shoulder again. "Arcee, Bumblebee, do you read?" He called on the intercom.
"Loud and clear Bulkhead." Arcee replied back.
"I have a situation..."
"Bulkhead there kids, humans just do whatever. After taking care Nora, this should be a breeze."
I rolled my eyes. "Gee Arcee, you make me sound like I was worse then the war." I intercomed in the conversation.
"Arcee, listen. I'm right outside the deceptions ship." Bulkhead said.
I could hear the sounds of tiers screeching in the background. "You're where?" Arcee yelled out.
"And so is Nora and Miko." Bulkhead cringed.
"THEY"RE WHERE?!" Now she was upset.
"Jack and Raf are still at the base, but I need backup now."
"Will be there, and you better hope Optimus doesn't find out about this!" Arcee ended the comlink.
"I'm pretty much grounded for the rest of the year aren't I?" I slumped down on Bulkhead's shoulder, retracting my mask up show my depressed face.
"No one could have predicted this Nora." Bulkhead said. "If anything, be grounded won't be as bad as what I will get when we're don't here."
"Optimus grounds you? I could never really picture him being so fatherly." Miko comented.
"You're not out of this either." I glared at her. "What was going through your head? Or better, was anything going through it at all!" I yelled at her.
"Hey, you think I'd let my vocals fight cons by herself?" She asked. "I'm part of team prime now, so that means-"
"Getting blasted? Squished?" I interrupted her.
"Both of you stop it!" Bulkhead ordered, shutting us up. "What's taking Arcee and Bumblebee?"
Miko stood up in his palm. "Dude, the cons could be putting the clamps on Fowler right now. Let's just storm the joint!"
"With out a plan?" I asked.
We heard the sound of a ground bridge opening. "There here." Bulkhead was relieved. But instead of two autobots, two tiny humans named Jack and Raf jump out instead.
"Are you kidding me?" I groaned, could this day get any worse?
"Why don't those hang with their own bots? This is our one on one time." Miko crossed her arm, as Bulkhead groaned.
Jack and Raf noticed the giant ship ahead of them, and a few veicon from the ship noticed them. "You there!" One called out, as they armed for the two of them.
"Scrap!" Me, Miko and Bulkhead all cussed out. Hashtag, this day can get worse.
Optimus's POV
As Ratchet and I continued walking, we finally found what we were looking for. The sight, of one of the biggest Cybertronian war battles on earth. Now nothing more then a grave, and dark memories.
"For the first time I'm my life Optimus, I had hoped that you were wrong." Ratchet confused.
I didn't know what to expect, but I felt that something terrible was going to happen. Suddenly the sounds of a jet flying above us, we glanced up to see a to familiar get fly past them and transformed over to a rigid mountain. He turned and glared right down at us, his hatred face never changed over his three year voyage.
"Optimus! Been well?" he dark voiced echoed, through the canyon, "I see you brought your trusty watchdog. I was certain he'd be convalescing in a scrap yard by now." He remarked.
"Why don't you invite him down here for a chat?" Ratchet suggested, punching his fist into his hand.
"I know why your here Megatron." I said.
"Hardly a surprise Optimus. Oh and by the way, how is my niece? I heard the incident of one of your team mates. Did she take it well?" He chuckles.
Hearing him talk about my daughter, as if he new her, was enough to make my energon boil. How dare he.
"Do not speak about her that way!" I demanded at him. "She has a kind spark, that you nor your Deceptions will ever tarnish!"
"You keep telling yourself that Optimus, but you can only lie for so long." He lifted his hand up to optics level and gazed at it. "I am now closer to her then you will ever be." He then grabbed something from behind him. "But now, your time has come to an end."
It was a dark energon shard, and before we could acted, he threw it down to the ground below. Once it hit solid rock, it absorbed into the ground, then the it started cracking up from below, breaking apart, and glowing purple.
I looked up to see I terrifying sight, Megatron was doing this, he had converted with dark energon, and was now able to harness its power.
"Rise my army!" He commanded.
The sounds of rusty metal rubbing guest rock was all around us. Slowing fallen warriors risen from their graves, glowing a sick purple from the dark energon, some wheeling weapons. They made a sickly sound as they started stumbling towards us.
"By the all spark..." Ratchet gasped, as we stared in shock.
"Behold, the power of dark ENERGON!"
To be continued...
