Transformers Robots in Disguise (RID): Endgame
By: Marik7410
T-Ai was flying through the time hole to stop the nightmare in the future and to give the universe a second chance. The time hole was created by the Higher Counsels and the Reapers to destroy Devil Z. Though she has the knowledge to stop him, she was worried if she messed up and the outcome turns out the same.
Images of events flew passed T-Ai as she continued traveling. She viewed every single event passed her. She saw the destruction of Earth. She saw the fight between Koji and Empress. Then she saw the fight between Wilson and Empress. The takeover, the invasion on Earth, those images went passed her. "If I want the future to be like my dream, I have to succeed. I have to beat Devil Z," she told herself.
Then she saw something that made her stop. T-Ai saw what really happened between Arcee and Empress. T-Ai looked closely and saw that her guess was correct. T-Ai watched as Arcee's sword disappeared before touching Empress, allowing her to strike Arcee on her side. The sword broke off inside Arcee, penetrating T-Ai's side also. Empress was surprised that her sword was broken and no harm was done to her. Arcee was holding her side in disbelief. Optimus and Ultra Magnus were shocked. Empress threw down her broken sword and took out a Gatling gun. The barrels spun as Empress squeezed the trigger. Bullets impaled Arcee, dealing great damage to her armor. Arcee's armor started to crack as the bullet weakened it. The gun fire stopped and Arcee's optics were blank. Arcee reached inside her body and extracted T-Ai. Then Arcee reached for her gun. Empress raced in and placed her gun on Arcee's spark chamber. Empress switched the setting on her gun from bullet to energy. "Any last words?" Empress asked.
"Kill me," Arcee said in a low voice.
"Excuse me?"
"Kill me bitch! Do it!" Arcee shouted. Empress squeezed the trigger and the gun blew a hole were Arcee's spark chamber was. Machinery powered down as Arcee's body hit the ground. Optimus and Ultra Magnus charged straight for Empress. Without hesitation, Omega Prime appeared. He went in for a punch. Empress fired her gun and blew Omega Prime's fist off. Omega Prime drew his Matrix Blade and slashed Empress with it. Empress picked up her broken sword and poured energy into it. Empress' blade was repair and it swayed every time she waved her sword. Empress brought her sword down and her blade extended and hacked at Omega Prime's armor. Empress continued to swing her sword as her blade hacked away at Omega Prime's chest. Empress refined the blade to its thinnest and sharpest. She waved her sword once and the blade cut into Omega Prime's spark chamber, exposing his spark. Empress aimed her gun and fired a bullet. The bullet was encoated with raw energon. One drop of raw energon can scrambled any Cybertronians's circuit and energon flow. Taking raw energon to the spark was lethal. The bullet entered Omega Prime's spark, distributing the raw energon. The raw energon overloaded Omega Prime's spark, making it explode. With Omega Prime dead, Empress knew she won. Then two energy beams struck her. Empress looked down and saw T-Ai holding her cannons. Empress shrunk down to T-Ai's height. Filled with pain, T-Ai connected her cannons and fired.
"Wow I didn't know I did that," T-Ai said to herself.
Empress disappeared before the blast touched her. Empress appeared in front of T-Ai and drove her sword into T-Ai's chest and pushed her to a wall. The sword was near T-Ai's spark crystal. Empress electrolyzed the sword and shocked T-Ai. T-Ai screamed in pain as Empress' electricity electrocuted her. T-Ai breathed heavily as she recovered. "I can't believe that you brought me to the universe," Empress said. "I never felt so disgusted to be even related to you."
"You won't kill me," T-Ai said. "You can't."
"Really?"
"The Empress I brought to the universe won't kill me."
"Let's test that theory," Empress smiled. Empress amped the juice and fired T-Ai's circuits and killed her spark crystal.
T-Ai closed her eyes as she saw her own death if she did failed again.
"Help me!"
T-Ai opened her eyes and started looking for the source. "Where are you?" T-Ai called.
"Help me please!"
"Tell me where you are?"
"Please, it's very dark and cold. I'm in a lot of pain. Please, whoever is out there tell T-Ai to save me."
"Tell me to save them?" T-Ai pondered. "Empress, she's calling for help. Hang on, I'm coming!"
T-Ai took off and went to the end of the tunnel. Not knowing where she might end up, T-Ai was prepared for the worse because she needs to when she exits the tunnel. T-Ai saw a light and exited the tunnel.
Chapter 25
Endgame: Devil Z
"Darkness. That's all I can see is darkness. I wonder where the time hole took me. Maybe I'm at the beginning of time where Primus and Unicron fought."
"T-Ai!" a faint voice called.
"That can't be. Someone just called my name."
The sound of fire crackling in the background echoed into T-Ai's ears.
"I hear the flames. I can feel the heat. I must be on Cybertron during the fight with Empress."
"T-Ai, open your eyes!" T-Ai complied and opened her eyes. She looked around and saw destruction around her. She looked towards her left and saw Koji fading away.
"Koji? Why is he fading away? Maybe, just maybe he was just killed. Wait. If Koji's dead and he's fading away then where's Wilson?"
"T-Ai, move!" Arcee shouted.
"If Arcee telling me to move then this is the time where I was Empress next victim and…"
Warm liquid spattered all over T-Ai's body. She examined her body and saw red. "This is blood." T-Ai looked up and saw Wilson was shielding her. Empress had blasted a large hole through Wilson which was meant for T-Ai. Wilson collapsed to the ground. T-Ai looked down and stared into Wilson's eyes. She saw Wilson was smiling. "Don't fail," he whispered. Wilson closed his eyes as he took his last breath. T-Ai closed her eyes to suppress her pain and started breathing to calm herself down. Arcee walked over and kneeled down next to T-Ai. "I'm so sorry that this is happening to you," Arcee comforted. "Are you going to be okay?"
"Going to be alright?" Empress laughed. "She lost her purpose for living and you're asking her if she is going to be okay. You're funny."
"I haven't lost my reason for living but you gave me a strong reason to keep fighting," T-Ai said.
"To keep fighting? You're powerless next to me," Empress said.
"You're right," T-Ai admitted. "Next to you, I'm weak but I'm certain that I can and will defeat Devil Z."
"What!" Devil Z exclaimed.
"If he is the monarch of evil, why is he letting his daughter doing all the work instead of himself?" T-Ai said. "That tells me that he's weak. I mean come on even Megatron does some dirty work."
Ultra Magnus couldn't help but snicker. Optimus elbowed Magnus to make him stop. "What? It's true," Ultra Magnus said.
"I can't let that sniveling little bitch talk about me that way," Devil Z grumbled. He lost his temper and took over Empress' body. "I'll show you that I'm better than that senile fool!" Devil Z roared.
"Good," T-Ai smiled. "Valkyrian, stand!"
T-Ai jumped in the air and turned into a ball of light. The ball separated and form armor pieces. The armor piece attached on Arcee and Valkyrian was online. Optimus and Ultra Magnus were stunned. "Who's Valkyrian?" Optimus asked.
"Never even heard of her," Ultra Magnus replied.
Devil Z looked at Valkyrian from head to toe. "You might have some armor but you're nothing to me Arcee," Devil Z said. He grew until he was Valkyrian's height.
"My name is Valkyrian, not Arcee," Valkyrian said and she landed a punch to the face. Devil Z stumbled back a few feet and rushed towards Valkyrian. Valkyrian stuck her leg out and Devil Z ran into Valkyrian's leg. Valkyrian was reaching behind her to grab something as a weapon and felt a rod. She grabbed the rod and pulled it over her head. Valkyrian had pulled an underground antenna and she smacked Devil Z with it. Optimus and Ultra Magnus were impressed. "That's some strength she got," Ultra Magnus said and Optimus agreed. Devil Z recovered and took shrapnel and wield it as a blade. Valkyrian drew her sword and chopped up the shrapnel. She was about to sliced Devil Z's head off but Devil Z took out his sword and defended himself. Valkyrian took out Arcee's gun and fired it. The blast sent Devil Z soaring. Valkyrian took out her second sword released an X-Blade at Devil Z. Devil Z released an energy blade and sliced right through it. Valkyrian held her swords in defense and absorbed the blade. Then she fired an X cannon. The cannon sent Devil Z flying to the horizon. "Like T-Ai said, you're weak," Valkyrian said.
"Hey," Optimus called. "You did a good job."
Valkyrian turned her attention to Optimus and waved. "Whatever it takes to impress you boss," Valkyrian smiled.
"Boss?" Optimus questioned.
"Look out!" Magnus yelled.
Valkyrian turned her head and saw a large beam coming at her. "Damn," she said. The beam smacked Valkyrian and pushed her back. Valkyrian dug her heels on the ground to slow it down. She struggled to deflect and saw that her armor started cracking. Valkyrian only had one option left and that was to bail. Valkyrian's headgear turned red and ejected Arcee and T-Ai. The beam continued and destroyed a nearby building. "Are we lucky that we didn't get hit with that?" T-Ai said.
"That blast was nothing," Arcee said.
"That building was made out of metal," T-Ai said. "The same metal used for your armor. That was the artillery building."
Arcee, Optimus and Ultra Magnus winced at the sight. Then they heard footsteps approaching. "All the Autobots in the universe can't destroy me," Devil Z said.
T-Ai looked at her bracelet and remembered something Wilson had told her.
"I been having problem getting Stage II online."
"With the OS you created Stage II will be complete."
"Though Stage II is working, I can't make her appear."
"What if Stage II was working, I don't have a name for her?"
"How about Starracer?" T-Ai suggested.
"Hey, it's your body," Wilson said.
"…someone is trying to get into the universe, something good. But in order for that to happen, someone has to die."
"Who?" T-Ai asked
"You."
"Why?"
"Can't say."
"What if he was talking about Stage II?" T-Ai wondered to herself. "It's worth a try. If it fails, we're dead for sure. Please work."
"You haven't defeated all the Autobots in the universe," T-Ai said.
"Oh really, who else I haven't beaten?" Devil Z said. "I know I can destroy Primus and Unicron, who else can match my strength."
T-Ai raised her left arm in the air.
"That little trinket," Devil Z laughed. "Oh, fashion is going to kill me."
T-Ai's fusion drive started absorbing Arcee. Devil Z's laughter stopped.
"What trick does she have up her sleeve?" Optimus wondered.
"Whatever it is, I hope it kills Devil Z," Ultra Magnus replied.
The fusion drive emitted a white light and it forms a barrier around her. The barrier floated up high in the air. Devil Z wasn't pleased. Then a large white hand came out from the barrier and knocked Devil Z off his feet. The barrier expanded until the bottom hit the ground. Then a white figure walked out from the barrier. Devil Z was getting afraid. He had never felt such positive energy. "Who are you?" Devil Z asked.
"She looks like T-Ai," Ultra Magnus commented.
"In Arcee's body," Optimus added.
"Think she can do this?" Magnus asked.
"It depends," Optimus replied.
"The name is Starracer," the figure spoke. A white and blue female Cybertronian, she was Arcee's height. She is another female crossfusion from Project Paladin known as Stage II. You can tell that T-Ai was dominant because Starracer resembles a lot like her. With her optics glowing bright translucent blue, Starracer was ready. Devil Z felt intimidated and charged in for an attack. With his fist ready, Devil Z aimed for the face. In a quick second, Starracer caught Devil Z's fist and stopped him dead cold. Devil Z struggled to move but he didn't move not one millimeter. Starracer stared at Devil Z with a straight face.
"T-Ai, one more thing, once you're in Stage II, you have ten minutes before she runs out of energy." Wilson reminded.
Starracer used her free hand and landed a hard blow to Devil Z midsection. The force sent him soaring.
"Damn!" Magnus said. "She got this."
"I can see but let's help just in case," Optimus suggested.
"What weapons does she have?" T-Ai asked.
"Complete original," Wilson replied. "She only has two hand guns…"
Starracer took out two handguns and waited for Devil Z to appear. Omega Prime stood next to Starracer with his cannons on his shoulder. "Mind if I join?" Omega Prime said.
"Though you'll never ask," Starracer smiled.
Off in the distance was a shockwave. Devil Z was flying straight to Starracer. Omega Prime fired his cannons at Devil Z. Devil Z easily maneuvered the heavy fire. Starracer waited for the right moment and squeezed the triggers. Two bullets were fired and heading straight for Z. One bullet missed him but the second bullet entered his left arm. "Oh great, I'm going to felt that in the morning," Empress sighed.
Devil Z kept going and rushed towards Starracer. Omega Prime raised his leg and booted Devil Z to the ground. Then Omega Prime deployed his Matrix Blade and brought his sword down. Devil Z saw the sword and rolled out of the way. Devil Z kicked himself to his feet and swept Starracer off her feet.
"Warning, 6 minutes remaining," the computer advised.
Omega Prime grabbed Devil Z by his neck and threw him into a building. Devil Z crashed into the building, destroying it. Starracer slowly rose to her face. Then a wave of energy blade came out from the building towards them. Starracer flipped in the air with her guns in her hands. Omega Prime was too big to avoid the assault and got hit. In mid-air Starracer fired multiple rounds at Devil Z. Once Starracer landed on her feet, she was struck by an energy blade. "Starracer!" Omega Prime shouted. "Are you alright?"
The smoke cleared and Starracer was on the ground. "Starracer, answer me!" Omega Prime said.
Starracer left out a groan as she came to. "Stop shouting," Starracer groaned. "I'm alright. Just help me up."
Omega Prime scrambled to his feet and rushed over to Starracer. He stood her up on her feet. "Can you keep going?" Omega Prime asked.
"Sure," Starracer replied. "I got one more trick up my sleeve."
"…and she has one sword, the Stellar sword. One swipe of the blade and you can level a city. If you are in the situation where you have to use it, don't. You can easily kill both Devil Z and Empress. You don't want that do you?"
"No," T-Ai replied.
"Then use other alternatives," Wilson said.
"I will," T-Ai promised.
Starracer held her arm out to the side as her hand glowed. Energy sprayed out from both ends of her hand. One end shot out then curve a bit. The glow faded away and a sword appeared in Starracer's hand. An energy blade came out from the rubble and headed straight for Starracer. Starracer cut through the blade with her sword and fired one bullet at the rumble. The bullet struck the rumble and exploded. Devil Z launched himself in the air. He released a wave of energy punches and kicks. Starracer shielded herself as the assault rained down on her. Omega Prime took charge and fired his cannons. Devil Z was struck and Omega Prime took flight. With his Matrix Blade in hand, Omega Prime was ready to end the fight. Devil Z dove from the smoke and rammed Omega Prime to the ground. Devil Z looked to his left and saw Starracer charging in. Devil Z picked up Omega Prime's Matrix blade and flaunt it like it was his trophy. Starracer went for an overhead slash but Devil Z blocked it with the Matrix Blade. Starracer twirled around for a side swipe. Devil Z spun around and block it also. Devil Z and Starracer wasn't budging. Devil Z smiled and Starracer looked down. She saw that Devil Z had a free hand and it was near her midsection. "Bye-bye," Devil Z smiled.
He fired an energy ball and Starracer was sent flying. Devil Z got off Omega Prime and picked him up. "With all the metal on your body and you still can't beat me," Devil Z said. He tossed Omega Prime like it was nothing towards Starracer. Starracer was on her elbow and she looked up. She saw Omega Prime on a collision course. "Oh crap," Starracer said. Omega Prime smacked in Starracer and Devil Z roared in laughter. "You're a waste of energon," he laughed.
Omega Prime and Starracer slowly rose to their feet. "Hey Prime, I've got an idea," Starracer said.
"What is it?" Omega Prime asked.
"Just follow my lead," Starracer replied. Starracer energized her blade until it was bright gold. "Stellar Slash!" she shouted. She waved her sword and released the energy. The energy blade was coming towards Devil Z. Omega Prime had his cannons ready to attack once the blade touched Devil Z. Devil Z ducked low and carried the blade with his hand and spun it around his body. Then he boomerang the blade back to sender. "What the slag?" Omega Prime said.
"Whoa, didn't see that coming," Starracer said. The blade smacked into Omega Prime and Starracer and exploded. Optimus, Ultra Magnus, T-Ai and Arcee were thrown out from the smoke. "Not cool," Ultra Magnus said.
"That was close," Arcee said.
"That was some fast thinking," Optimus complemented.
"It was either Fight-or-Die," T-Ai said.
"Sending another Stellar Slash to counter was smart," Optimus said.
"Just be lucky that it had some power," T-Ai said.
"Oh look, I broke the big time players," Devil Z teased.
"We're not done yet," Optimus said. He attached his missile launchers and fired. Ultra Magnus attached his cannons and fired. Arcee took out her guns and fired also.
"With two minutes remaining, we could've finished this fight," T-Ai thought to herself. "But I had to make a stupid move and because of that Stage III won't work."
"Configuring data," the armor said. The fusion drive spun around until it was bright yellow. Then it slowed to a stop. "Configuring complete. Initializing the Star Fusion setup."
T-Ai's whole body glowed as the setup took place. Once the setup was done, T-Ai checked herself. She saw another bracelet on her right wrist. She pulled up her pants leg and saw one on each of her ankles. Then she touched her head. She felt something like a tiara on her forehead. "What's this?" T-Ai wondered.
Devil Z was laughing as the Autobots attempted to take him down. He waved his arm and released a gust of wind. The wind blew the Autobots to the ground. "You can't take me down," he said. "Not even all four of you combined, you can't stop me."
"Thanks for the idea Z," T-Ai said.
"Hmm?"
"Scan!" T-Ai shouted. All five fusion drive started to absorb Arcee. When the scan was complete, T-Ai jumped in the air taking Optimus with her. Optimus didn't know what was going on but he went with it. Then Ultra Magnus started to float in the air against his own will. T-Ai merge inside of Optimus and the transformation begin. "Optimus Prime, transform!"
Ultra Magnus separated into piece. The piece attached to Optimus as Omega Prime took form. Devil Z had a feeling that if he didn't stop the transformation, he might lose. So he took out a handgun and fired. The bullet struck the incomplete Omega Prime and went up in smokes. Devil Z roared in laughter as he defeated Omega Prime. "I'm invincible," he said. "No one can defeat me."
When the smoke cleared, he saw a headless Omega Prime. Devil Z wasn't picking up any signature coming from Omega Prime. "Ha!" Devil Z laughed. "He's dead. Ah-ha! I did the impossible. Not even Megatron can accomplish this feat. I killed Omega Prime, supreme leader of the Autobots."
Then Devil Z heard machinery powering up. Then Devil Z felt a big spike in energy from Omega Prime. Omega Prime's body turned bright gold. Omega Prime's head flipped. His optics flashed as he came online. "Ultimate Energy Combiner, Omega Prime Paladin mode!" he said.
"Paladin huh?" Devil Z said. "So you're supposed to be the ultimate form of light, the warrior that will vanquish all evil."
Omega Prime said nothing.
"Not much of a talker, aren't ya?" Devil Z asked. "Okay, I want you to stand there while I kill you."
Omega Prime didn't respond.
"Good boy," Devil Z said. "Goodbye."
Devil Z rushed in ready to knock Omega Prime to the afterlife. Omega Prime's optics flashed as his Autobot insignia glowed. A green barrier warped around him. Devil Z smacked into the barrier and stopped him dead cold.
"This is impressive but we can't move," Optimus complained.
"I don't know what happened," T-Ai said.
"Maybe you're missing a main component," Arcee said.
"The question is what," T-Ai said.
"Whatever it is, you better hurry," Optimus rushed. "I don't think that barrier is going to last forever."
Fed up, Devil Z started hacking away at the barrier trying to break it.
"Maybe you need more power," Magnus suggested.
"With the four of us together, there is enough power," Optimus said.
T-Ai started to reflect on everything she knows about Project Paladin. Then there was one thing that she and Wilson overlooked. "Ultra Magnus is right," T-Ai said.
"I am?" Ultra Magnus said.
"In order for us to maintain this form, we need 5 armors," T-Ai said. "Since the armors are set to a certain DNA, they won't work unless the owners are present. I can control mine thus the barrier. We are missing four people. Once they are here, then we can take Z down."
"But Wilson and Koji are dead," Arcee reminded.
"Who said they have to be alive?"
"What about the fourth and fifth one?" Optimus asked.
"We need only four to operate and five for maximum power," T-Ai replied.
Devil Z was still hacking away at the barrier. Though the barrier was strong, Devil Z was starting to create a weak spot on the barrier. Omega Prime's optics glowed as two entity from space entered into his system. Devil Z ignored it and kept hacking at that weak spot. Then a third entity flew in from space and entered Omega Prime. Devil Z was almost through. All he need is one good punch. He powered up his fist and struck the barrier. The barrier started to crack and then it shattered. Devil Z jumped up in the air with his fist charged in ready. He dove in and aimed for the spark chamber. Next thing he knew, Omega Prime moved and caught him. "What!" Devil Z exclaimed.
"Not this time," Omega Prime spoke and he slammed Devil Z to the ground. Omega Prime took out a rifle from his back and aimed it at Devil Z's head. Devil Z stared into the barrel and turned pale. "Forget this," Devil Z said and rolled out of the way.
Omega Prime squeezed the trigger, firing his rifle. Devil Z continued rolling until he reached a wall. Devil Z saw that the bullets were getting closer. Devil Z quickly stood up and took flight. Devil Z knew that Omega Prime was too heavy for a quick take off so what make this situation different. Devil Z looked away for a millisecond and Omega Prime disappeared. Then Devil Z felt a fist driving down his back, smacking him to the ground. The fist belonged to Omega Prime and he was hovering in the air. Devil Z hit the ground and he was twitching from the pain on his spine. "My spine," he complained.
"Had enough?" Omega Prime said.
All Devil Z did was laugh. He stopped twitching and stood up. His spine was crocked until he twisted his body and straightened it out. Omega Prime was disgusted. "No Prime, I haven't had enough," Devil Z replied. "In fact, it's time to enact my plan." Devil Z held his arms out and the ground rumbled. All the sparks of every Decepticon on Cybertron rose out of the ground and entered Devil Z's body. "These sparks are not the only ones who will assist with my victory," Devil Z said.
A warp gate opened up and Earth was on the other side. Omega Prime saw Earth and hoped that Devil Z didn't do what he thought he did. "You didn't?" Omega Prime said.
"I did," Devil Z laughed. "That fool Megatron actually was proven worthy of something. Instead of targeting children, might as well target the adults and feed off their energy. Though they'll die in the process but taking your life will be worth it."
Omega Prime was horrified that Devil Z went this far. Devil Z was finished collecting energy. His body glowed as the power course through his body. Then he grew three times the size of Omega Prime. "Look at me now," Devil Z boomed. "I made it to the big times, now to squash a pest." Devil Z raised his foot and brought it down.
Omega Prime jumped out of the way as Devil Z's foot hit the ground. "Face it, he got us," T-Ai said. "We lost."
"We haven't lost yet," Optimus said. "I'm not planning on giving up."
"You hear me Z," Omega Prime shouted. "I'm not giving up. I will take you down."
"I like to see that," Devil Z laughed. "Once I'm done with you, Primus is next."
"That won't happen. As long I have a spark in my frame, you'll never succeed. Threatening innocent lives was your downfall. Now every single civilian you hurt is fueling the matrix, giving me the strength to destroy you."
"There's no humans left," Devil Z pointed out. "Earth is a corrupted planet. You've seen what these humans can do. War, famine, destruction, they don't deserve to live. That's why I use their negative energy to recreate the universe in my image."
"You don't decide if they live or not."
"You're right but I'm a visionary. I have to cleanse the universe and rid it of these retched organics."
"The organics deserve a second chance and these organics will destroy you."
"How? The human population is zero," Devil Z pointed out.
"For the adults, yes but I have the children," Omega Prime said.
Planet: Earth
All the adults had collapsed on the spot. All the children were calling them, trying to wake them up but they couldn't. The kids started crying knowing that they are alone with no one to protect them. "Kids, my name is Omega Prime. I am an Autobot. The reason why your parents won't wake up is because an evil Decepticons has taken their lives. I am the only one who can defeat them but to do that I need your help. Send me your strength, your hopes, your dreams, your determination and together we will triumph," Omega Prime said.
At first the kids were skeptic of the idea but a child stepped forward. "I'll help you Omega Prime." She closed her eyes and gave him her strength.
"Why?" another kid asked.
"Because he got rid of Galvatron 10 years ago."
"That was him?"
"Yes, and he needs our help to bring out parents back."
The kids closed their eyes and send their faith, their strength to Omega Prime.
Planet: Cybertron
"Kids are unreliable," Devil Z said.
A small twinkle shined from the warp gate. A beam shot out from the gate and struck Omega Prime. Sparks from every Autobots rose from the ground and absorb into the matrix. Cybertron glowed as the planet sent some of its energy to Omega Prime. Omega Prime started growing. He grew until he was Devil Z's height. "What was that about the children?" Omega Prime asked.
"Die!" Devil Z growled. Devil Z landed a punched to Omega Prime's chest, then another and another and another. Devil Z was ready to land another but Omega Prime caught it. Omega Prime pulled Z in and kneed Devil Z in the midsection. Then Omega Prime picked up Devil Z and threw across the city. Devil Z crashed hard into the Autobots Headquarters. Omega Prime walked over to finish Devil Z off. Then Devil Z fired a beam which knocked Omega Prime out of balance. Devil Z rose from the smoke with a sword in hand. He starts slashing away at Omega Prime's armor. Omega Prime's insignia glowed as a barrier protected him. Devil Z's struck the barrier and the sword rang. A Gatling gun appeared in Omega Prime's arm. It was similar to Ultra Magnus' arm laser. Omega Prime lowered the barrier and fired. The bullets struck Devil Z and sent him flying. Omega Prime stood up and continued firing. Devil Z was pinned to the ground by the bullets. Devil Z waved his sword and deflected some the bullets. Then he quickly stood up and released an energy blade at Omega Prime. Omega Prime saw the blade and shielded himself with his arms. When the smoke cleared, Devil Z was charging in a jousting form. Omega Prime took out his Matrix Blade and blocked Devil Z's sword. Omega Prime pushed Devil Z off and struck him twice with the sword. Then he followed up with a powerful jab to the chest. T-Ai's cannons propped up on Omega Prime's shoulder and fired. The blast sent Devil Z soaring. Devil Z caught himself in mid-air and landed on the ground. "Omega Prime, your time has come!" Devil Z shouted. Devil Z held his sword in the air. The sword glow a darkish-purplish aura. Devil Z brought his sword down and the sword extended outward and struck Omega Prime. Omega Prime had a large gash on his chest. "One more attack like that and I'm through," Omega Prime thought to himself.
Devil Z retracted his sword and started walking towards Omega Prime. Omega Prime was running out of options. He had to end this fight and fast. "Attack pattern found," the computer reported. "Final Blitz is the most likely move to destroy your opponent."
"Final Blitz?" Optimus Prime wondered.
"Don't ask me," T-Ai said. "Just do it."
"Final Blitz!" Omega Prime shouted. Omega Prime was covered in a golden aura as 45 entities appeared in front of him. Most of them were Optimus' team in every shape and form. The remaining entities were Wilson, Shirley, Koji, T-Ai, the red dragon and the black dragon.
"What the hell are you doing?" Devil Z said.
"Attack!" Optimus shouted. Each attacking member struck Devil Z once and disappeared. Each strike was more powerful than the other. The last one was Wilson and he was pleased to have the honor. With his flame sword ready, he slashed Devil Z as hard as he could and disappeared. Devil Z was panting as each assault strip his energy away. Omega Prime was the only one left and he had his Matrix Blade in hand. He hovered a few inches of the ground and charged straight for Devil Z. Omega Prime zoomed by, striking Devil Z. Energon was gushing out from his side. Omega Prime landed and turned around. He opened up his chest and revealed the Matrix of Leadership. The matrix was glowing as it was building up energy. Devil Z saw that he met his match and decided to flee. One problem, he couldn't move. "Why I can move?" Devil Z said.
"This is my body and I'm not letting you escape," Empress said.
"What are you doing?" Devil Z said. "I'm your father."
"Not anymore," Empress said. "I read your intentions. The moment you win, you were going to kill me so I won't betray you. Plus now I found out my true purpose as a virus. You wanted me to control T-Ai and have her rebel against the Autobots. Then when the timing is right, take over Optimus. Once that's done, I'll kill every single Autobots and then Optimus himself. Once every Autobot is dead, set T-Ai's main system on overload and commit suicide."
"That's not true," Devil Z said.
"Don't tell me what's true and what's false," Empress said. "I read your mind and I see that you're out of control. This will be your fate. Goodbye Devil Z!"
"No!" Devil Z shouted.
"Matrix Blaster!" Omega Prime shouted. The matrix fired a beam of energy at Devil Z. The beam shredded his body apart. Devil Z cried out in pain as he was being erased. The beam died down and Devil Z was gone. Omega Prime's chest closed and the insignia flashed red and Omega Prime separated. "The deed is done," Ultra Magnus said.
Optimus looked at the warp gate and felt that balance was restored on Earth. "It truly is over," Optimus agreed and the warp gate was closed. The stolen sparks danced the skies and then they went underground towards the center. T-Ai heard a footstep and turned her attention to the source. Arcee saw that T-Ai sensed something and looked where T-Ai was looking. "Guys, don't celebrate yet, Devil Z might still be alive," Arcee said.
Optimus and Ultra Magnus prepared for Devil Z. A small figure emerged from the smoke and it was Empress. The Autobots aimed their gun at Empress, ready to fire. "Wait," T-Ai said. "Lower your weapons."
"That's Empress," Arcee said. "She tried to kill us."
"That because she didn't know what Devil Z might do to her," T-Ai said. "She acted out because I disown her and that made her mad. All she wanted is an apology. Is that right?"
Empress nodded.
"I'm sorry that I left you," T-Ai apologized. "I hope you can forgive me and give me a second chance. I want to make things right."
"Apology accepted," Empress said.
"Come and let me hold you," T-Ai smiled. The Autobots lowered their weapons knowing that Empress is now harmless. Empress was about to take a step when she froze. A dark entity rose from the ground. It hovered over Empress. It laughed as it took up the sky. "What do we have to do to kill you?" T-Ai said.
"Is that Devil Z?" Optimus asked.
"Yeah, in his true form," T-Ai replied.
"If I don't deserve to rule the universe, I'll just destroy it," Devil Z roared. He went into space and compressed himself.
"No! Don't do it!" T-Ai pleaded.
"It not worth it," Empress said.
"Death is your fate," Devil Z laughed. He compressed himself until he was unstable and collapsed on himself. This ripped a hole in space and a black hole was formed. Due to its closeness to Cybertron, the suction was incredibly strong. The Autobots held onto anything that was bolted to the ground. T-Ai held onto a flagpole. Empress wasn't lucky to anything like that. "T-Ai, help!" Empress called.
"Hang on," T-Ai said. "Stay low to the ground and crawl towards me."
Empress did was T-Ai said and got low to the ground. Empress started crawling towards T-Ai. Empress reached halfway when she felt that her body was no longer touching the ground. Then Empress was airborne. "T-Ai!" Empress shouted. Empress was pulled by the gravitational pull and got sucked in.
"Empress!" T-Ai said. "I have to help her."
"Are you mad?" Arcee said. "You know once you go in, you can't come out."
"There is a point where I can't return and I believe I can get out," T-Ai said.
"Daughter or not, I'm not letting you risk your life to save someone else that's in a black hole," Optimus said.
"As an Autobot, I have to obey your orders," T-Ai said. "But as a mother, family comes first." T-Ai released her grip and jumped in the air. The gravity picked up T-Ai and she got sucked in.
"T-Ai!" Arcee shouted.
"That is one crazy chick," Ultra Magnus commented. A tin box struck him in the head. "I'll shut up."
Location: Black hole
T-Ai turned on her night vision and search for Empress. T-Ai saw a green speck deeper inside. T-Ai reduced her surface area and dove in. T-Ai's speed picked up as she got closer to Empress. Empress saw T-Ai coming and she was shocked. "What are you doing here?" Empress asked.
"Saving you," T-Ai said.
"Why?"
"No matter what people say, you're my daughter and you are my number one priority," T-Ai said.
"How are we getting out?" Empress asked.
"Not we, you," T-Ai said. She took off her armor and put it on Empress' wrist.
"What are you doing?"
"The black hole only needs one of us so I'm letting it take me instead," T-Ai smiled.
"T-Ai, no."
T-Ai activated the armor and teleported Empress out from the black hole. "She's out and I'm not," T-Ai sighed.
Planet: Cybertron
The Autobots were holding on so they wouldn't get sucked in. They saw an armored life form appeared in front of them. They heard the life form crying. "T-Ai, are you okay?" Arcee asked.
"No, I'm not okay. I'm here and T-Ai's in there."
"Empress?" Arcee said.
The life form removed its helmet and it was Empress. "Yes it is me," Empress said. "Can't you do anything to save her?"
"I wish we could but I don't have the power to fight that much gravity," Ultra Magnus replied.
"What about Omega Prime?" Empress asked.
"His weight will do him in?" Optimus replied.
"She can't die. Someone has to save her," Empress cried.
Then two balls of light rushed near Empress and shot up in the sky. The lights looped as one of them went inside the black hole. Empress had a smile on her face. "What took him so long?" she smiled.
Location: Black hole
Frozen water drops floated in the dead space. T-Ai was slowly falling towards the center of the black hole. "This is it," T-Ai said. "This is my fate, death by suction. Heh! In this time frame, I really didn't live my life as an android. But in the alternate future, I experience a lot. I met a lot of people, made plenty of friends and lost a couple. I met many faces of evil." T-Ai took a deep breath as she remembers the better part of life. "One thing I'll never forget is my first love, my first kiss, my first date, my first dance and…and…" T-Ai was rubbing her fingers together when she felt something on her ring finger. She looked at her ring finger and saw her engagement ring. "…and I'll never experience my first wedding," T-Ai said. "I can't die. I was promised that my dream will come true. I want to walk down the aisle. I want to be with Koji."
"And I'm nothing to you," a voice said.
T-Ai was spooked. She looked to her right and saw Wilson floating next to her. "What are you doing here?" T-Ai asked.
"I was here to rescue you but if you want Koji, I'll go get him," Wilson said.
"Wait," T-Ai said. Wilson turned his head to listen. "Though I chose Koji, I just can't believe how my life will be without you. You're my best friend and I want you to know that."
"You're my best friend too," Wilson said. "Let's get out of here."
"But we won't be able to fight the gravity off," T-Ai said.
"You won't alive," Wilson said. "If you really trust me, you'll take my hand."
"What will happen?"
"You have to be dead in order to get out. Taking my hand will turn you into a spirit."
"Then let's go," T-Ai said. She took Wilson's hand and her body went intangible. Wilson took T-Ai up the black hole on their way out. While they were leaving, they had a low rumble. "She belongs to me!" Devil Z boomed.
"No way bub. She stays with us!" Wilson shouted.
Wilson and T-Ai exited the dead space and into the vortex. T-Ai looked down and saw a dark purplish mass coming towards them. "We got company," T-Ai said.
Wilson looked back to confirm T-Ai's sighting. "Damn," he said. "Koji, take T-Ai, I'll see if I can beat this cloud down."
Koji went in and took T-Ai and took her out. Wilson stayed behind to beat Devil Z back down. T-Ai's cannons appeared on his arms. "Eat energon!" he said and fired.
Planet: Cybertron
Optimus saw two lights exiting from the black hole. As the lights got closer he saw who it is. "Look, its T-Ai," he said. "Koji rescued her."
Empress looked up and saw Koji carrying T-Ai down. When T-Ai touched the ground, Empress started to tear up. Empress ran to hug but she went through her. "Dang," she muttered as she fell.
"I should've warned you," T-Ai said.
"You think!" Empress snapped.
Then they heard a loud boom. Another light was launched from the black hole and it hit the ground hard. Everyone rushed over to the crash site. "Did you do it?" T-Ai asked.
"No," Wilson replied. "He's trying to get out. If he does, the black hole will become unstable."
"How can we keep him in?" Arcee asked.
"We can send the black hole to another dimension," Ultra Magnus suggested.
"That's a good idea but how?" Wilson said.
"We need a supernatural being to open a dimension gate," Optimus said.
"Maybe I can be of assistance," a voice said. A large energy ball hovered in front of them.
"Who are you?" T-Ai asked.
"It is I, Primus," the ball spoke.
"Primus," Wilson said. "The Primus who fought Unicron when the universe was young? The same guy who created Cybertron and the very Cybertronian themselves?"
"Yes I am," Primus replied.
"Never heard of you," Wilson said.
"Eh," Primus said. A small kid danced around in space as he was sucked into the black hole.
"Ignore him," T-Ai said. "Can you help us?"
"Yes I can," Primus said. A dark sword appeared in Arcee's hand. "I've given you the Dimensional sword."
"The same sword that can open warp gates, dimensional gates and even gates to alternate universe?" Wilson asked.
"Yes," Primus replied.
"Cool," Wilson said.
Everyone was completely lost with Wilson's behavior.
"Turn into Valkyrian so she can open a gate," Wilson said.
"Okay," Arcee said. In a flash of light Arcee and T-Ai disappeared and Valkyrian appeared. The sword resonated in her hand. Valkyrian held the sword high over her head and cut into the sky. The sky opened up leaving a dimension gate in its place. The gate was getting suck by the black hole.
"Now I need Optimus, Ultra Magnus and Arcee to strengthen the gate while Wilson, Empress, T-Ai and Koji weaken the black hole," Primus said.
Valkyrian separated and Arcee teamed up with Optimus and Ultra Magnus. They took out their guns and set to energy mode. Once the settings were set, they fired it at the gate. The dragon cannon appeared and Wilson, T-Ai, Koji and Empress held it in their hands. Wilson changed the settings and fired. The blast struck the black hole. The dimension gate was growing but nothing happened to the black hole. "Are you sure this is going to work?" T-Ai asked.
"Give it time," Wilson said. A few minutes passed and the black hole started to shrink.
"How is that possible?" T-Ai said.
"That's what's happen when you set the cannon to steal the black hole's energy," Wilson replied.
As the black hole started to shrink, the dimension gate started to absorb it. A cloud appeared at the mouth of the black hole. It was Devil Z and he wanted out. "You won't seal me away!" he yelled.
Empress had enough and took to the skies. She charged up a large energy ball over her head. Then she threw it at Devil Z. "You will be sealed and I will make that will happen," Empress said.
The energy ball struck Devil Z, pushing him back inside the hole. Devil Z resisted and fought the energy ball off. Everyone broke their current task and blasted Devil Z inside the black hole. The dimensional gate absorbed the black hole and it collapsed. Empress continued to stare into space. She was relieved that her father is really gone. "Told you so," Empress said and went back to the ground.
The Dimensional sword disappeared as Primus retreated. "Man that was rough," Ultra Magnus said. "If anyone needs me, I'll be at a bar."
"The nightmare is over and we save the universe," T-Ai sighed. She turned around and saw Empress hugging up against Wilson. Her eye twitched as she continued to stare. "What are you doing?" T-Ai asked.
"Holding my man close to me," Empress smiled.
"Man?" T-Ai questioned. "Alexis! I though only one person can go through the time hole."
"That is true," Wilson said. T-Ai shot Wilson an evil stare. "I should've never said that."
"Let me guess, Koji came with you," T-Ai said.
"Guilty," Koji confessed.
"I can't believe you lie to me again," T-Ai said.
"I didn't lie," Wilson said. "The Higher Counsel told us to go through after I had to hogtie Alexis."
"The kiss I accept but what you said afterwards I didn't like at all," Alexis said.
"Why did they send you here for?" T-Ai asked.
"Remember when I said that if you learn to let go, you'll be rewarded," Wilson reminded.
"What about it?" T-Ai wondered.
"Since your left eye returned to normal, I can give you your gift," Wilson said.
"My left eye?" T-Ai said. She picked up a piece of glass and looked into it. "It's purple," she said. "My eye is purple."
"I guess you have to show your maternal instincts to get rid of it," Wilson said.
"So what's my gift?" T-Ai asked.
"T-Ai, as an android of two worlds with two life systems, you have to choose which life you want to live," Wilson said. Wilson presented his right hand and it had a spark. "You can stay with Optimus and be a Cybertronian forever or…" Wilson presented his left and it had a heart. "…you can come with us and stay on Earth and live the rest of your life as a human. Your decision not only affects you but it affects Alexis also."
"Whatever you choose, I'm behind you 100%," Alexis said.
"Optimus?" T-Ai said.
"No matter what you choose, you still are an Autobot to me," Optimus said.
"Same here," Arcee said.
T-Ai took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She opened her eyes as she made her choice. "I made my decision," she announced.
"You did?" Koji asked.
"Yep," T-Ai smiled. "I know what I want and I don't think I'll regret it not one bit."
