Velocitron Chapter 3: Next Frontier
Since Megatron and his Decepticons had taken control of Velocitron, Ransack was placed as the leader of Velocitron but under the former's rule. And so far, Velocitronians were less thrill or happy to have new leader. And even, they were not allowed to race, without the permission of Ransack or Megatron.
Velocitronians were forced to follow and obey the rules, laws and orders of Decepticons. They were kept under watch by purple and black Velocitronian Decepticon Troopers, along with some Cybertronian Decepticon Troopers. If any of them dare to rebel Decepticons; they will be shot, executed and killed.
And so far, there was no sign of troubles or rebellion. Not sign of Velocitronian dare to resist.
At the alley, a mysterious Cybertronian was covered by black hooded coat. He witnessed the event as he smirked darkly and sinisterly.
"I've found them..."
At the Meeting Chamber in late night, Megatron and his Decepticons were gathered along with Ransack and his three officers. They had some discussion about their next plan.
"Lord Megatron, we have put the last sector of Velocitron under control," Blackout reported, "No sign of any rebellion since we took down their leader."
Lugnut scoffed, "Those foolish Velocitronians think they can defeat us so easily. When they see our strength, they trembled in fear at once. All of them are warned of challenging and defying us."
"Excellent..." Megatron smiled in please. He turned and looked at Ransack, "As you can see, my force took over Velocitron for half a day while yours took centuries to accomplish it but barely. With discipline, strategy and fear; the planet will be under our control. Do you understand this policy?"
Ransack gulped, "Well... Now you mention it... I never thought of it in the first place. But thanks for the help anyway."
"Always the pleasure. I hope you had your units prepared both shuttle and supplies for us. We'll be leaving this planet by tomorrow's dawn."
"Yes... I'll get it down at once. Why not enjoy here for the moment? I mean... You work very hard to do it."
"No... I have more works need to be done. And I'll see to the end. Be sure that Velocitron will not be in chaos. Because if I see one trouble here, you'd better hope that your spark don't get extracted."
Ransack gulped, "Yeah... Won't happen. I promised."
Crumplezon whistled, "Wow... No way I'm gonna mess with him."
"Me too." Armco agreed.
Syncol gulped, "I do not want my beauty to get terrorized..."
"Good to hear... Get them ready at once." Megatron ordered firmly. As Ransack and his Decepticon Velocitronians were about to leave, the leader called, "Oh... Be sure that the prisoners stayed in prisons. I will not have them to cause commotion and chaos among my first occupation on Velocitron."
Ransack scoffed, "Relax. What can those rebels do? They're not going anywhere. No one can escape the prison."
As soon as Velocitron Decepticons left, Megatron and his Cybertron Decepticons have their own discussion.
"Do you think we should trust them?" Barricade asked suspiciously.
Blackout agreed, "Optimus Prime and his Autobots will find a way out from the prison."
"Just like what they did at Kaon Prison," Makeshift agreed in concern.
Bonecrusher cracked his knuckles gently, "Shall I crush them personally? That would save some troubles. And so we can focus on our mission to deal with."
Megatron smirked, "No... I just want to feel the means of success in capturing the whole planet for the moment when I could not do the same for Cybertron. And I know it won't last for much long. Optimus will outsmart me one way or another. That is why we must leave as soon as possible."
Megatron turned to all of his Decepticons as he gave the orders, "Makeshift and Bonecrusher, secure the supplies. Lugnut and Barricade, prepare the shuttle. Blackout, you're with me. By dawn, I want to have one last chat with Optimus Prime before we leave. I want them done by morning."
"Yes, Lord Megatron!" Decepticon Officers exclaimed proudly.
Decepticons left the office at once as they made some preparation.
In the morning, as Ransack and his Velocitron Decepticons were on their way to the platform, they had their own discussion.
Armco groaned, "Hey boss. I think Megatron worried too much of Optimus Prime and others. I mean they're trapped inside the prison! What could they do?!"
Syncol nodded, "Armco's right. I doubt that they can escape the prison in a second."
"Yeah... They're not so tough..." Crumplezone agreed, "We don't need to worry about them."
Ransack sighed in annoyance, "Just shut up and do the job. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have taken over Velocitron in time. And trust me, we've been doing this for centuries!" He sighed, "But you're right. I was wondering why the Autobots are so dangerous. I mean what could they do in the prison. It's impossible for them to escape."
"So, what's next?" Armco asked curiously.
Ransack sighed as he shook his head, "Let's just do what Megatron wants before he lose his temper again. No way I wanted that. Crumplezone and I will go see Override. I want to show her that I'm finally became a leader. And she's gonna regret for not letting be one."
Ransack and Crumplezone headed off to the prison while Syncol and Armco headed to the platform for making the preparation.
Megatron and Blackout made way into the Prison. They then met up with Ransack and Crumplezone. Ransack explained his purpose of coming to the prison. Megatron approved it. The Decepticons marched into the prison as they passed some cells which holds some Autobots and Override's Velocitronian Loyalists since they unwilling to betray their commanders.
As they arrived to the cell, the gate slowly revealed the screen-like in front of them. They found Optimus Prime and his team stuck inside the cell as they were held up and magnetized within the cylinder-like.
Spotted Ransack, Override got up angrily as she glared at him, "You're gonna regret it! You're gonna pay for it!"
Ransack scoffed, "Like that's gonna happen. And trust me on this, you should behave than resist. Megatron will take you offline."
"I won't! I won't let you do anything bad to my people!"
"We'll see. And don't worry about them, they won't get hurt as long as they behaved."
Override snarled in anger as she glared at Ransack.
Megatron chuckled in amusement as he looked at Optimus Prime, "This reminds us of the past, doesn't it? If only you had not interfered my plan, I would have become the Prime."
"I had to. I can't let you abuse the power and destroy our home. It doesn't have to be this way," Optimus Prime pleaded, "Why target Velocitron, Megatron? Aren't you supposed to be heading to the water planet? Why are you here?"
"Like you, Prime; my force were divided and separated from the Nemesis. Therefore, we were trapped here. I made a deal with Ransack to get both ship and supplies, in-return he'll become the leader of Velocitron under Decepticon Banner."
"Freedom is the right for all sentient beings. I won't let you do it!"
"We shall see... For now, we make our departure preparation. We'll be leaving soon. This is goodbye, old friend..."
Megatron and his Decepticons turned to their right as they exited the prison's entrance. And now the Autobots are trapped inside the prison, with no hope to escape.
Blueshift sighed in disappointment, "There goes our freedom... No escape..."
Bumblebee beeped in annoyance, "Quit whining! There's gotta be a way out of here!"
Sideswipe nodded, "Bee's right! We can't give up now! And besides, we've gotta stop Megatron and his goons from leaving Velocitron. If we can trap them here, we might have the chance to end the war."
"Makes sense... Good thinking. We have to do it," Arcee agreed.
"Still... How?!" Blueshift asked in annoyance.
"Quit your whining, as Mr. Bee quoted," Hightail exclaimed in annoyance, "Get some backbone into it! We still can win it!"
Backfire scoffed, "Old timer is right! We still can win the fight! And besides, we know the building inside and out. And there is no way Ransack could beat us that easily."
"Which is why we're prepared for it. I'm impressed, Autobots," Override commented as she swung herself in and out for few times. Everyone looked at her. She explained, "I've got the key. I just need them out and open it!"
As Override continued swinging in and out for few times, the magnetized sphere shaken a bit as it slowly loosen. With the magnetized sphere fell down, she quickly had her legs acrobatically up. Her right leg revealed the keycard. She slotted onto the top's slot for the moment.
BEEP! The Prison's Magnetized Cylinder ceased its function. Her card submerged into her heel-like. Override landed on the ground. She stood up and gave thumbs up. Everyone awed in amazement and surprise.
Mirage whistled, "Magnificent..."
"You've got that right. We'll be out of here in no time," Jazz agreed.
Override freed Optimus Prime and his team from their prison. They turned and faced at the hardened prison's cell window-like.
Backfire growled, "This might be a little problem. And the only way to open it is from outside. And from inside, it's impossible."
"Not yet..." Optimus Prime said calmly. Everyone looked at him. He took a pole out as it transformed into an axe. He glared at the window, "It's time to reopen it."
As the axe glowed brightly in red, Optimus Prime cried wildly. He slammed his axe right on the prison's gate. The gate glowed reddishly for the moment as it slowly cracked. It then exploded into pieces. The gate is opened!
Optimus Prime breathed heavily as he put his transformed-back-into pole on his back. Everyone was in shock and surprise of what they just saw.
"I didn't know you can do it," Arcee asked in surprise.
Sideswipe nodded, "Wow... And I thought Ironhide was tough enough to open it."
Optimus Prime sighed, "There's more that you do not know about me... Not like how Alpha Trion knows about me..."
Flashback:
Some centuries ago before Battle with Unicron...
Optimus Prime stood besides with Prima Prime, Vector Prime, Onyx Prime and Nexus Prime. He was training with Five Primes. The rest of Primes watched the training as they commented and muttered about it. They trained very hard in strengthening their might and abilities. Nexus Prime and Onyx Prime training with Optimus Prime while Prima and Vector Prime instructed him.
"Remember, Optimus! You must harnessed the Energon within, so you can unleash the power to defeat your enemies or obstacle objects!" Prima Prime instructed firmly, "Attacking is pointless should the enemy prove to be dangerous and powerful."
Vector Prime nodded, "Prima's right. Unicron will prove to be challenging. And believe in me, this is not an easy task."
Nexus Prime slammed his punch right on Optimus Prime's chest hard. Onyx charged in as he fired his Crossbow Blaster at him off. They both harnessed the Energon within as Nexus Prime fired his Combiner Storm Blaster and Onyx Prime fired hisWild Mega Blast at him.
Optimus Prime held his sword tightly as he harnessed his powers and Energon within him for the moment. He then launched his Prime Sword Beam at them back straight to both Nexus and Onyx Prime. They both got defeated.
Onyx panted, "Not bad, Prime... Not bad... You improved."
Nexus Prime nodded, "Yeah... You were nothing but idealistic for peace and justice. But we admire that so much, Optimus. So, keep that alive..."
Alpha Trion approached Optimus Prime, "Remember, Prime... It is not only your ability and strength you must rely on, your friendship and comrades. With great bonds, comes with great hope in achieving the goals. And I believe in that, Optimus. Do not forget that."
Inspired by his brothers and sister, Optimus Prime smiled as he nodded his head in understanding. Thirteen Primes continued training with each other in making preparation for battling with Unicron.
Back to reality...
As Optimus Prime remembered his past, the rest of his team helped and freed both Autobots and Velocitron Loyalists out from their prison. Arcee shaken him from his daydreaming.
"Optimus? Optimus! Wake up!" Arcee called. As Optimus came back to reality, she sighed, "Optimus, we're ready. What's your next order?"
Optimus Prime looked up and found both Autobots and Velocitronians stood before him. They were ready to fight with Megatron and his Decepticons.
"Let me lead," Override requested, "Me and my team knows the inside and out of this place. And you all gotta do is give orders of what we need to do."
Optimus Prime nodded, "Understand. Override, lead the way. If we can put the end of Ransack's rule, Velocitron will be freed."
With word has been given, Optimus Prime and his team headed off at once. They had to stop Megatron and Decepticons before they could escaped...
At the platform, Ransack and his minions were loading the Energon Crates, Weaponry Gears and Supplies into the black winged and armored shuttle. The preparation for Megatron and his Decepticons' departure is almost ready...
Megatron and Ransack were closed to the shuttle's ramp as they had some discussion.
"Lord Megatron, the preparation for your departure is almost done," Ransack reported. As Armco and Syncol moved the crates of Red Energon into the shuttle, he explained, "And the gift for farewell, the Red Energon. They're very rare and special across the galaxy. And they can be found at here. Reason - theirs are for speed ability. Anyone who use it will be the fastest Cybertronians across the galaxy."
Megatron smirked, "Excellent... You have served me well, Ransack. And you had given me a perfect gift. Well done..."
"My pleasure," Ransack bowed.
Megatron cleared his throat, "Now that I'm leaving, I'm putting the command of Velocitron to you. And you better be sure that none take it from us."
"Yes, Lord Megatron," Ransack understood.
Both Megatron and Ransack watched carefully on the preparation for departure. Crumplezone, Bonecrusher, Blackout and Lugnut pushed the supplies and crates of Energon, Weapons and Gears into the shuttle. Makeshift and Armco led the workers in moving the supplies. Barricade and Makeshift had some discussion about the details of weapons and Energon. The preparation was almost done...
Optimus Prime and his team went through various hallway and lifts within the headquarter. They fired their blasters and had a combat with Velocitron Decepticons when the latter were alerted by the Autobots' escape. They had to get to the top. Time is running. They don't have much time now...
We can't let Megatron escape. We must stop him at all cost... Optimus Prime thought in concern.
As Megatron and his Decepticons were marching into the shuttle, Ransack and his stood outside as they made honorable salute and farewell to the former. The time is now...
Optimus Prime and his team had reached the top. They had arrived at the platform. They spotted Megatron and his Decepticons were making their departure.
"We have to stop them!" Arcee exclaimed in concern.
Optimus Prime aimed his blaster at Megatron, "Megatron, stop!"
Megatron turned and glared at Optimus Prime, "Optimus Prime... I said you and your team have managed to escape. But pity that our time of here is almost expire." He turned to Ransack, "Ransack! Take care of those imbeciles. We're leaving..."
Ransack saluted, "At once! Decepticons, take care of those fools! Override must be defeated! Take them down!"
Velocitron Decepticons cheered and cried wildly and angrily as they all charged straight at Autobots and Velocitron Autobots. Main Decepticons quickly move the supplies and gears into shuttle at once. The later were ready to fight as well as the Autobots.
Override held Optimus Prime and his team back, "No! You've gotta stop Megatron and his Decepticons, no matter the cost!"
"She's right, mate! You all can't let those creeps get away! You're all can stop the war now!" Backfire agreed.
"Override..." Optimus Prime said in shock. He hummed in concern before nodded his head. He turned to his Autobots, "Autobots, we have to stop them! Roll out!"
Main Autobots charged straight at Main Decepticons while both Velocitron groups charged and battled with each other. The battle was about to get tensed.
Armco fired his blasters at Blueshift who dodged the blasts while running straight at him. Blueshift charged in as he gave some punches on Armco but in return, the latter punched and blasted at the former back for few times. Both Syncol and Hightail glared at each other for the moment before they argued, insulted and taunted at each other for few times. Both Backfire and Crumplezone charged as they punched at each other for few times. Override and Ransack battled with each other as they punched, dodged, kicked and blasted at each other for few times.
Both Override and Ransack had their fists clashed at each other for the moment while glaring at each other.
"This ends now, Override! I'll be the Ruler of Velocitron!" Ransack exclaimed proudly.
Override glared at Ransack, "Not as long as I stand here! I'll restore the order! I will beat you to the ground, ego moron!"
Override and Ransack got their punches deflected as they continued punching at each other hard and quick. Their own groups also battled as well.
Optimus Prime and his team dodged the blasts while firing their blasters back at the Decepticons. The former managed to defeat some of the latter. As Barricade and Makeshift made the last shipment to the shuttle, Megatron turned and entered into it. He was preparing to leave the planet.
Optimus Prime and his team looked up as they fired their blasters at the shuttle while it remained still and glanced at the former.
"Goodbye for now, Optimus Prime," Megatron said darkly yet calmly, We will resume our fight later. When we do, only one shall stand! Farewell!"
With that, Megatron and his Decepticons immediately lifted and headed straight into the space. Optimus Prime and his Autobots continued firing their blasters at the Decepticon's, but their enemy's shuttle were far away from them.
"We still can catch them," Mirage motivated.
Jazz nodded, "We've got another shuttle for us to ride to catch them up!"
"But we can't leave the Velocitronians here! They're our friends and allies!" Sideswipe said in concern, "They helped us! We should help them."
"I'm with Sides! No way I'm gonna let them fight with their enemies!" Bumblebee agreed.
Arcee sighed as she looked at Optimus Prime, "What are your orders?"
Optimus Prime hummed in concern. He had to stop Megatron and end the war before it continued. But at the same time, he can't afford to let his allies and comrades to die since he lost so many of them in Great War. He was in dilemma to think...
Both Velocitron Autobots and Decepticons continued battling with each other hard and quick. The Autobots got injured and killed by overwhelming numbers of Decepticons. Blueshift got blasted straight to the walls by Armco. Syncol slammed his pole at Hightail to the ground hard before hitting the latter for few times. Backfire got kicked back to the walls. And before he could do anything, Crumplezone rammed straight at him before punched and kicked him for few times.
As Override battled Ransack, she got her guts kicked by him. She was then thrown to the walls hard. He then fired his blaster at her for ten times. Override moaned and groaned painfully as she struggled in moving.
Ransack approached Override, "It's over now, Override... Velocitron is mine to control!"
"No... It will never be..." Override resisted angrily yet painfully.
Before Ransack could finish Override off, his legs got tripped as he fell to the ground hard. He got up and found Sideswipe's car transformed into his robot mode. Sideswipe did hovering kicks at Ransack for five times before giving the latter a slash. Ransack screamed in anger as he charged in and battled with Sideswipe.
Crumplezone continued punching and kicking on Backfire for few times. As the Decepticon was about to finish the Velocitron Autobot off, Optimus Prime held Crumplezone's muscle before giving the latter a punch. Crumplezone was about to punch but got punched for few times. Optimus Prime thrown Crumplezone straight to Backfire. The Velocitron Autobot got out from the walls as he charged straight at Velocitron Decepticon. Backfire gave the hard punch straight at Crumplezone who hovered and landed on the ground hard.
Syncol continued hitting and slamming his pole on Hightail for few times. Arcee fired her blaster at pole off. Syncol turned and glared at her. He was about to fire but got kicked from back by Mirage. Mirage then gave Syncol few times of scratches before Arcee charged in punched on his face. As Syncol struggled in getting up, Hightail came and gave Decepticon a hard slam of his pole. Syncol got knocked out.
Armco continued blasting his blasters at the cornered Blueshift who continued dodging and avoiding the blasts. Bumblebee knocked Armco out by using his car in knocking him off. As the Decepticon got up, Jazz fired his Sonic Wave Blaster at him away. Bumblebee then gave a hard swing kick at Armco to the wall. Blueshift screamed wildly as he launched his blasters at Armco out to the edge of platform.
Sideswipe dodged and avoided the attacks from Ransack for few times while punched back at him. As Ransack was about to thrust his sword at Sideswipe, but the latter dodged and grabbed the former's hand. Sideswipe thrown him straight at Override who gave the last punch on Ransack's face hard. Ransack got knocked out.
The battle is finally over. Autobots had regained their home planet, Velocitron from Decepticons.
Override turned to her Autobots as she was in surprise and shock, "You came back... Why? You and the rest could have end the war now. You could have stopped Megatron."
"We would have," Optimus Prime agreed as he continued, "But are we willing to sacrifice our friends to do it? As the Autobots, we saved and defend lives. We will never let any of them down."
Velocitron Autobots were shocked, surprised and yet touched by Optimus Prime's words. He was really a good leader. They then saluted to him, and so did him and his team...
On the Next Morning...
With word given that Decepticons were defeated, Velocitron was freed from them. And all of Velocitron Decepticons forced to surrender and give into the prison for the rest of their life.
Override and her team helped Optimus Prime and his team in loading the Energon Crates and Weapon Gears and Supplies into crimson space shuttle. Backfire and Blueshift were moving and loading the crates into shuttle. Hightail checked on the checklist about the supplies and gears. Optimus Prime and Autobots had a discussion with Override.
Override sighed, "Optimus Prime and the Autobots, I truly want to thank you for saving my planet and people from Decepticons. And of course, I want to apologize."
"For what?" Arcee asked in surprise.
"For letting you down," Override answered. They looked at her. She continued, "If I had agreed with you, all of you could have made out alive and find Decepticon Warship. That was your chance to end the war."
Jazz shook his head, "Don't think like that, Override. If you had, Decepticons would have taken control of your planet! And the worst of it, you wouldn't have the chance to see our skills. It happen for the reason."
Mirage nodded, "Jazz is right. We wouldn't have made good friends."
Override giggled in amusement as she gave the Red Energon Crate-like to Optimus Prime and his team, "Yeah... You're probably right. But listen, I've loaded special Energon. If you ever run into troubles, use it. It will help you deal with the situation. And it's very effective too."
"What is it?" Bumblebee asked, "Why is it red?"
Override explained, "Red Energon. But call it Speed Energon. Inject them into your system, you'll go super speed or turbo. It's also the reason why Velocitron got Speed Velocitronians."
"Amazing... This could help us end the war..." Arcee commented, "Thanks Override."
Sideswipe smiled, "You're a great friend, Override. We owe everything to you."
"Actually, we owe everything to you all," Override corrected, "You Autobots are great allies and comrades Velocitron could count on."
Optimus Prime nodded, "And that is why we wish to have you on our side."
"As in Autobots?" Override asked in shock and surprise.
Velocitronians stopped their working as they turned and looked at Optimus Prime and Autobots. Were the Autobots serious about letting Velocitronians join in?
Optimus Prime nodded as he explained, "All of you have shown not only valiant, determination and bravery; but also your compassion, kindness and generous. With such traits within your system, comes with great wisdom and responsibility for both friendship and people. All of you have shown truly Autobots..."
Blueshift whistled, "Blurr is so gonna get jealous of me about this... I'm the Autobot. That is so awesome!"
"Tell me about it. I'm ready to kick anyone who wants to mess with our planet and friends!" Backfire exclaimed proudly.
Hightail bowed, "We are honored, Optimus Prime. We shall do our best."
Override nodded, "Thank you so much, Prime. We won't let you down. We promised. After all, we're all Autobots."
Optimus Prime and his team nodded in understanding and approval. As the last shipment into the ship was prepared, all of the Autobots gathered inside the ship as they were ready to leave. Autobot Velocitronians were gathered at the platform.
Sideswipe and Override had their chats for the moment.
"I guess this is goodbye," Sideswipe said in disappointment, "I'm actually gonna miss this place."
Override giggled, "And I'm gonna miss you too, Silver. You're a great racer like Bumblebee. Well done..."
"Yeah, thanks. So, you'll call me?"
"Of course. When the war is over, you'd better come and visit me. If you don't, I'll kick your tin can flank. After all, you owe me a race. You and I have scores to settle."
Sideswipe chuckled in amusement as he gave her his com-link, "Don't worry, madam. I won't. Just make sure you don't get so rusty."
Override scoffed, "You're the one who better now get rusty!"
Everyone laughed happily yet amusing about both Override and Sideswipe's rivalry and jokes. They were glad and relief to have friends and comrades. Autobots waved happily at the waving Velocitron Autobots. The time to say goodbye is now.
Optimus Prime smiled, "Take good care of your world. And please, avoid the war at all cost. Till All Are One..."
"Till All Are One!" Everyone cheered proudly and happily.
With the word given, Optimus Prime and his Autobots entered the shuttle as they drove it off to the space. They were now finding the rest of their comrades and hopefully they can stop and defeat Megatron and his Decepticons before they could reached the water planet...
Within Velocitron's Prison, Ransack and his prisoners were inside the prison cells. They were upset and disappointed that they ruled Velocitron for one day only. It was not what they had in their mind.
Ransack, Syncol, Armco and Crumplezone were trapped inside the last and cornered prison cell. Crumplezone moaned angrily as he slept on the bed. Syncol cried and sobbed unhappily. Armco slammed his head on the walls for few times. Ransack sat down as he tried to think of getting out from the prison. He looked down as he had no idea of how.
Ransack sighed, "Life is sucks..."
"You think?!" Crumplezone, Syncol and Armco asked in annoyance.
At Delta City's Alley, the mysterious hooded Cybertronian was communicating through the small portal-like.
"My masters," The mysterious figure spoke, "This is Xeros. I have accomplished my mission. I had the sacred artifact Velocitronians had kept. And I bring more news - both Autobots and Decepticons had left."
"Excellent... Everything has gone according to our plans. Well done, Xeros..."
