Chapter 8: Revelations
(A/N: On Thunderhead pass there are 2 entrances. the front entrance at the peak of Thunderhead pass for ground based vehicles and the one Airtrain flew through for high ranking officials. And I know Professors don't so surgical stuff but it was a simple slip of the mind so no need to bring it up.)
On the peak of Thunderhead Pass, a few guards are on patrol near the front entrance. When suddenly they notice a huge convoy of RV's headed their way with a truck carrying a familiar mech with it.
"Captain Ramjet of the Cybertronian Air Force, Sir" Ramjet saluted towards the guards. "This is a restricted area Captain; I can't let you pass without clearance." One of the guards said. "Ok fair enough, come here" Ramjet said motioning towards his parachute "you want to see my clearance?" Ramjet asked before revealing the Alien underneath his parachute and making the guards recoil in shock. "Maybe I should just leave this here with you" Ramjet quipped "Let them pass, let them pass!" the guards replied sending in the convoy. "Did you see that thing?" one of the guards asked.
As Ramjet was running with an escort towards the hangar he was met with Professor Tarantulas "How long has the specimen been unconscious?" he asked "about 3 hours" Ramjet replied. "Get him to containment STAT!" Tarantulas commanded.

Inside of the Thunderhead pass war room Swindle and Kup were arguing about their current location. "As the former head of the C.I.A. (A/N: Cybertronian Intelligence Agency, what a coincidence) you knew about this place, when were you planning on informing the rest of us?" Kup asked. "It had been deemed classified" Swindle replied coldly. "You could have told us about this when they first arrive."Kup replied "You should have warned us before we launched a counter offensive THAT COST THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS OF CYBERTRONIAN PILOTS!" Kup spat. "There was no way we could have known that our soldiers would have been that ineffective against their attackers." Swindle replied with little remorse.
Suddenly, President Starscream walked in towards a map of Cybertron, wanting to get a readout of the damage. "Cybertropolis, Nova Cronum, and Quintessus….all destroyed." "It seems that all of our Major military outposts were destroyed first and then we were hit, they knew exactly where to hit us." Kup said after analyzing the attacks. "And what of our remaining forces?" Starscream asked. "Down to 15% and that's only counting the Major military we're getting reports of pocket resistances spread all over the world." Kup replied. "Swindle, what about the Main Ships?" Starscream asked "if you calculate how long it takes for them to destroy a city and move on we're looking at total worldwide destruction of every city in the next 36 hours." Swindle replied. "we're being exterminated" Starscream said grimly
Colonel Ironhide then came into the War room with Ramjet following "Mr. President, this is Captain Ramjet he captured one of the alien pilots and it's down in out surgical room right now." "Well done" Starscream replied "Colonel, I'd like to go see the alien now." "Yes sir" Colonel said as he and a few others escorted the President down. "General Kup" Ramjet said as he walked up to him "I'm really anxious to get back to Fortress Maximus." Ramjet's request was met with a grim look from Kup "Hasn't anyone told you?" Kup asked, but he was only met with a confused look. "Fortress Maximus has been completely destroyed." Kup said which made Ramjet's face fall in despair over his fallen comrades.

Near the ruins of Fortress Maximus, we see Motormaster driving up to the fence and stopping as Sari walked out to get a closer look. It was a horrible sight as the entire base was destroyed as the wreckage of both vehicles and Cybertronians were thrown about. A few minutes later as the survivors made camp Sari was gathering supplies that would last them a while before she saw Alexis struggling to reach some water. "Don't move, I'll get it for you stay still." Sari said attending to the injured First Lady.
Alexis then saw Bumblebee playing with some toys and Sparkplug. "Is he your son?" Alexis asked "He's my angel" Sari replied. "Was his father stationed here?" Alexis asked noticing her reaction towards the destruction of the base. "No, he wasn't his father…but I was hoping he would take the job." Sari said hopefully and then looked downcast. Noticing how she looked Alexis decided to change the subject. "So what so you do for a living?" Alexis asked. "I'm a dancer" Sari replied "Ballet?" "No, exotic" (A/N: WOLF WHISTLE!) "Oh…sorry" Alexis said "Don't be" Sari replied "I'm not, its good money and beside my baby's worth it."Sari finished.
"Bee, come and meet the first lady" Sari called her son as he sat in her lap. "Hello" Alexis said as she extended her hand and Bumblebee shaked it in kind. "I didn't think you would recognize me" Alexis stated. "Well I didn't want to say anything…I voted for the other mech." Sari said jokingly.

Inside of the Surgical labs Tarantulas and 3 other medical bots were beginning to operate on the alien "All vital scanners are online and recorders activated, so if we screw up its all on tape" (A/N: Foreshadowing!) one of the medical bots reported. "Excellent, let us begin the operation" Tarantulas said as he grabbed his custom surgical Cutting blade (his weapon from BW) as he found a perfect line to begin slicing. As he slowly dragged his cutter across the gap in the biomechanical suit it burst open as he had reached a sweet spot startling some of the med-bots while Tarantulas was completely calm "Come now, we must continue" Tarantulas said as he sliced through the membrane of the suit and uncovered the real face of the alien and it looked like its eyes were covered with cataracts. "Yesssssss" Tarantulas said with sadistic giddiness in his voice.
"Proffesor Tarantulas" one of the med-bots called out to him the arm is moving I think it's going to wake up I'm going to get something to suppress It." The med-bot said as he started to walk away "That won't be necessary, Doctor" Tarantulas said "why not" the med-bot asked. At that exact momentthe Alien's eyes popped open staring at Tarantulas, who had an evil look in his Visor. "Because it's already awake." Immediately Tarantulas spun around and sliced one of the bots across the neck making him bleed out on the floor and then repeatedly stabbed the one standing next to him over and over as the 3rd tried to run but was stopped by a sealed door. "Proffesor Tarantulas what are you doing" the bot asked in fear. "What I should have done 50 years ago" Tarantulas replied with malice and evil in his voice as he approached the quivering bot.
After finishing off the Med-bots, Tarantulas walked towards the alien which was struggling to break free of its restraints before Tarantulas grasped it by the neck. "Well, hello brother tell me…what have I missed in the past 50 years" Tarantulas stated evilly as a transparent blue beam was shot toward the alien's brain causing in yell out in pain.

Several minutes later as the President and his escort group reached the labs they couldn't see inside the labs as some kind of smoke was covering the lab.
"Professor Tarantulas?" Ironhide said as he pushed a button on the intercom. Everyone approached the Glass to get a closer look before something jumped out of the mist and onto a table.
"YAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" It was Dr. Tarantulas but looking more crazy than usual and twitching uncontrollably. "Professor, are you okay?" Ironhide asked. "Oh Colonel, I'm more than okay for the first time in 50 years I feel alive and soon I will be free!" Tarantulas exclaimed madly. But his madness was met with confused looks "I see you are still confused, well I'll put it into simpler terms. I WAS THE ONE WHO ALERTED MY BRETHEREN TO THIS PLANET, I'VE BEEN PLANNING THIS INVASION FOR 50 YEARS JUST WAITING FOR THEIR ARRIVAL!" Tarantulas yelled madly "you think we were just able to coincidentally able to find this your military outposts or that my companions in that ship all coincidently died before they could reveal anything?"
Everyone in the president's group was looking shocked as how They had basically given themselves to the aliens on a silver platter "I found a code both to organize our attacks and cripple your satellites and thanks to the new information from m late companion over their" Tarantulas said as he pointed towards the dead alien on the operating table. I will return my species you will all die AND NONE OF YOU WILL STOP US! Tarantulas finally finished as he shot another blue beam towards President Starscream as he laughed triumphantly.
As President Starscream grasped his head in pain and General Kup tried to help him, he asked Ironhide "is that glass bulletproof" "No, sir" Ironhide said with a scowl as he and others transformed their hands into Battle Pistols and repeatedly shot Tarantulas.
As Starscream regain his composure he spoke up "I…I saw his thoughts, these bastards are like locusts. They go from planet to planet, their whole civilization…and after they've consumed every natural resource they move on…and we're next" Starscream said grimly. As Ironhide walked into the lab to find Tarantulas' body he saw him barley alive and crawling, after letting him crawl he then shot him a few times in the back for good measure.
"Let's bomb 'em" Starscream said as he started to walk away "Let's bomb the bastards." As the President's escort walked away Swindle couldn't help but let a smirk spread across his face
(A/N: DUN-DUN-DUNNNN and there you have it possibly te most original chapter in the story and yes I know the monoluging villain is cliché but its Tarantulas and he's also insane so its excusable review and spread the story.)
