Once again, we find ourselves with the Author, completely alone this time, while holding a wooden head. "I suppose I should've seen this coming, though instead of mulling about it" With one swift movement, he crushed the wooden head into splinters. "I'm going to do something about it"
With a snap of his fingers, he vanished, only to reappear on the moon, where he stood next to an TNT plunger, the wire trailing all the way down to the Earth.
"Instead of just trying to find BlackXANA, I've got a much simpler solution"
He pressed down hard on the plunger, causing the entire planet to vanish, with just a 'POP'.
"Teleport the entire planet to the Shadow Zone, where all powers of all sorts are completely disabled, that'll keep the basterd busy for a while, and now, onto the story"
...
In the depths of space, travelled five ships of ancient origin, both revered and feared by many. Four of them looked like a vague resemblance of a spear, with two, curved prongs at the front, with a spear tip between them, a long, thin frame, but with three wings in a triangle formation stuck out the sides at the front, and the fifth one, which was in the center of the formation, and much larger, looked like a crescent moon with a pyramid on top.
In side what seemed to be the lead ship, sat a robotic being, with cold, green eyes, it wore a green, tattered cloak, a head piece that seemed Egyptian in nature. and a rather strange staff, the bottom being the head of a hammer with a spear point, and the top being a two-pronged point, with a small, green orb of energy nestled between the two points.
Without warning, a hologram of a similar figure appeared in the room, grabbing the Overlord's attention. "Bewaffnete" It spoke, the voice devoid of all emotion. "I assume you are almost at your destination"
The one now known as 'Bewaffnete' nodded. "I shall arrive upon the human homeworld in four days Imotekh, though I still question why I'm being sent to do this"
"This is because you are the most successful of my commanders, having only failed your mission once, and to be clear, that incident wasn't your fault"
"Fair enough, I'll contact you once I'm in orbit"
With that, the hologram shutoff, leaving the Overlord in darkness once more.
...
"What do you think Jack?"
"Don't you think its a bit...odd?"
"I felt flamboyant today"
Jack raised an eyebrow at his alien girlfriend, who was currently wearing, for some reason, a sapphire blue, sparkling dress, the kind a woman wears at a fancy gathering.
"Two months ago, Bulkhead felt 'flamboyant', and he decided to paint himself red"
Arcee raised an eyebrow at that. "Are you telling me I can't dress up for you Jack, or are you telling me it doesn't look nice?"
"It looks great on you babe, sexy even, though can you at least tell me where you got that dress from?"
"I went on a little bit of shopping one time, and ordered it. Seeing the guys expression was worth the wait and price"
Jack was about to ask how much the dress was, when the base alarm started going off, Arcee groaned. "I guess I'll take this off now" As she walked away into a separate room, Jack idly glanced at a small box hidden behind a lamp that sat on a desk opposite of Arcee's berth.
"Soon Jack, soon..,"
...
Everybody had gathered in the center of the base, to see Ratchet working furiously at the computer, while Fowler stood off to the side.
"So what's the situation doc bot?" Wheeljack asked.
"Ever since those 'Titan's' showed up, I've been wondering where they've been coming from, so I decided to try and track their energy signatures ever since the last encounter, and low and behold"
He gestured towards the screen, where everybody could see millions of red dots scattered across the continent, and a large blob of the dots grouped together in Canada.
"You're positive that's where they're coming from?" Arcee asked.
"Without a doubt"
Optimus turned away from the screen to look at the Autobots, his expression was blank.
"Autobot's this is our chance to end this threat at its source, once and for all, meaning that EVERY Autobot here will be joining us, including you Ratchet and Ardent" The two medics nodded.
Wordlessly, Raf hopped onto his laptop and activated the groundbridge, which to everyone, was their path to ending a major threat.
"Autobot's roll out!"
With that, every Autobot rolled on through the bridge, leaving behind Fowler, Raf, and Miko.
...
Inside the castle that rested Albedo's castle, the being in question was currently working on two devices that looked remarkably like the Omnitrix, only they looked significantly. He was about to place the familiar looking dial on one of the devices when he alarm rang out, causing him to raise an eyebrow. He raised up an arm and pressed a button that lied on his wrist gauntlet.
"Patch-Up, report"
"The Autobots are invading! They've already taken out the base guard and are making their way inside the castle!"
"Very well, try and separate them as much as you can, I need more time to finish the Ultimatrix"
"As you wish"
He pressed the button again, ending the transmission, and pressed another button.
"Doctor Doom, we have a problem"
...
Inside the castle, the Autobot's smashed their way through another brigade of Titan's, only to stop as they were met with four separate paths, each one leading into darkness.
"It would appear that we need to split up" Optimus spoke, who then raised his servo towards the farthest left path. "Wreckers, you will take the left path"
Bulkhead, Chromia, and Wheeljack nodded while Warpath whooped, causing Ironhide to sigh at that.
"Bumblebee, Ratchet, Slipstream, and Visual Range, we will take the farthest right path"
"Elita One, Flare-Up, Moonracer, Ardent, Airachnid, you will all take the other left path"
The femme's nodded at this.
"Leaving me, Arcee, and Jack to take the other right path" Palidan spoke. Optimus nodded at this.
With that, the Autobots split up towards their chosen path's, unaware of the security camera watching them.
...
With the Wreckers, the group of veteran warriors were twitchy as they walked down the stone path, which was lit by torchs, with Warpath being exceptionally twitchy, given that the walls were rather narrow for his bulk
"I don't like this" He spoke. "It's too quiet"
"You said that a minute ago, though you are correct, I honestly expected some more resistance by now" Bulkhead replied.
"It means we're walking into a trap" Ironhide stated, rather then said, his red armor glistening under the torch light.
After about three more minutes of walking, the group found themselves in a rather large room, filled to the brim with weapons, both human sized, and Titan sized.
"Looks like we stumbled into their armory boys" Chromia remarked grinningly.
"With the amount and variety of weapons these guys have, its no wonder they were able to do the damage they were able to do" Wheeljack spoke.
"Guys...I think I'm in love"
Everybody turned to see what Warpath was on about, and found him cradling a rocket launcher, that appeared to have eight rocket exits on the front.
"I'm definitely taking this baby home with me"
That's assuming you live long enough to escape"
Everybody whirled around to see Crimson Dreadnought and Reaper Dreadnought standing at the only way out of the room.
"And I doubt that's gonna happen" Crimson spoke.
...
Elita One and her group were making their way through a similar looking hallway, though once they reached the other end, the group found themselves in what appeared to be a laboratory, with advanced looking equipment lying all over the place. The group slowly made their way through the room, some of them eyeing the equipment with interest.
"I never thought humans could create such advanced technology" Flare-Up spoke, eyeing what appeared to be a pistol, except far more advanced looking.
"That's...because...it isn't...human...technology"
Every femme in the room pulled out their blasters at the unknown voice, only to blanch in horror. At the entrance they just came through, stood Corrosive's Titan, armed to the teeth with lethal looking weapons.
"None...of you...are leaving...this room...alive"
...
Optimus and his group found themselves in what looked like a garage, where damaged Titan's were scattered about, in varying states of damage. He grimaced as he noticed that some of the Titan's were covered in blood. His train of thought was interrupted when he heard a scuttling sound echo through the room. At the noise, everybody armed their blasters and surveyed the room, trying to locate the noise.
"Come and find me" it rang out.
"Show yourself coward!" Slipstream shouted.
"As you wish..."
A loud clang, followed by a scream, caused everybody to turn towards Visual Range, who fell forward and landed on her face, clearly out cold. Everybody stood there in shock, only for a set of clapping grabbed their attention towards a figure that stood at the other end of the garage, wearing what looked like a medieval knights armor, only more modern looking, and painted purple, while her body was being supported by mechanical tentacles.
"None of you are going to leave this room alive"
With that, she charged forward.
...
Arcee, Palidan, and Jack entered what looked like a throne room, where in the center was, you guessed it, a throne, and in that throne sat Albedo, both his wrists were covered by cloth.
"Jackson Darby, we meet at last, though I have to say, you're shorter then I expected"
"Nice to meet you too, whoever you are"
"My name is Albedo, and you have something that belongs to me"
Jack's eyes narrowed. "You're not getting your hands on the Omnitrix"
"You misunderstand, I don't want the Omnitrix"
As he spoke this, he stood up from the throne, and walked slowly towards the center of the room, where he calmly removed the cloth on his left arm, revealing, to the trio's shock, an exact replica of the Omnitrix, only the dial was red instead of green, and the device itself covered much of his forearm.
"I want to rip it from your cold, dead body!"
...
Crimson Dreadnought and Reaper charged forward, their armored chassis' clanging as they went, with Bulkhead and Chromia rushing forward to meet them. Bulkhead smashed his mace into Crimson's face, sending the Dreadnought flying backwards, while Reaper ducked underneath Chromia's swing, and hit her chin with an uppercut, causing her to stumble backwards, with Reaper quickly following up by slamming his fist into her abdomen, knocking the wind out of the femme, allowing him to wrap his arms around her, toss her to the other side of the room, and land on top of several crates of ammunition.
Bulkhead was having a worse time as him and Crimson grappled each other, trying to out match the other, until Crimson pulled Bulkhead towards him, and clapped his arms against the Wrecker's helm, emitting a loud, clanging sound. As Bulkhead stumbled backwards, the smaller sized Dreadnought grabbed him by the chassis, lifted him into the air, and tossed him forwards like a beach ball. with the poor Wrecker landing on top of Wheeljack.
As Reaper stood over Chromia with a shotgun pointed at her face, he was interrupted when a large hand gripped his chassis, and flung him against the wall on the other side of the room. As he stood up, slightly dazed, he saw Warpath's massive form approach him.
"Heh heh heh, this is going to be fun" the tank spoke as his form towered over Reaper's. The black Dreadnought merely snarled, before charging the Wrecker, his fist cocked back. Warpath cocked his own fist back, and slammed it forward to meet Reapers. When their fists collided, it created a shockwave that shook the very room they stood in.
Crimson rushed towards Bulkhead, his fists crackling with electricity, but was tackled by Ironhide. The two of them rolled about, trying to get on top of the other, until a blast from Wheeljack knocked Crimson off. As the Russian Dreadnought was getting back on his feet, he noticed Wheeljack and Ironhide rapidly approaching him. He narrowed his unseen eyes at the two, who promptly pointed their blasters at him. "Any last words fragger?" Wheeljack spoke.
"Look out"
As soon as he spoke this, the two Wreckers started getting pelted with machine gun fire as Titan's started coming in from entrances on both sides of the room, forcing the pair backwards, allowing Crimson to advance on them. He casually grabbed a rocket launcher from the wall and pointed it at the two, but was interrupted when the Titan's next to him started getting pelted with blaster fire. He whirled his body around to meet Chromia's advancing form, blasters drawn out. He quickly fired the rocket launcher, only for Chromia to catch said rocket and redirect it towards him, forcing the Dreadnought to duck and allow a Titan behind him get hit, and be immediately be reduced to scrap metal.
As he got back up, he was suddenly picked up by Chromia, who then tossed him through the main entrance and into the hallway, though fortunately for him, he landed on his feet. He roared in fury before charging his fists with electricity and ran straight towards the femme, who side stepped his charge, brought her servo's up, and slammed them into his back, causing the Dreadnought to drop to the floor, skidding a couple feet due to his momentum.
Warpath once again picked up Reaper with one servo again, and slammed the Dreadnought into his knee, before tossing him into the wall. He cracked his knuckles as Reaper got back up, his form now having gained a series of dents. Reaper noticed a rocket launcher near him and lunged for it, ducking underneath Warpath's swipe at him. As the Dreadnought aimed the weapon at Warpath's face, the weapon was suddenly knocked out of his hands by Bulkheads mace, who then swung his other mace at Reaper.
As Reaper stumbled backwards, he noticed the two Wreckers approach him, causing him to sigh. "I don't get paid enough for this"
Wheeljack jumped into the air and brought his swords down onto a Titan, the Cybertronian metal slicing through its arms before being kicked way by the Wrecker. He then resheathed his swords, and jumped over the punch of another Titan, grabbed the outstretched limb, ripped it off, and tossed it at a Titan aiming a rocket launcher at him, only for the rockets to hit the detached limb, causing an explosion that took out five Titan's, while sending Wheeljack flying back, though he did land on his feet.
Ironhide lifted up a singular Titan and ripped in two by the torso, before tossing the halves aside and kicking another Titan, sending it tumbling to the floor. He then transformed his hands into cannons and started blasting away at a new group of Titan's approaching from a side entrance, the Wrecker cackling as he did.
...
Patch-Up ducked and weaved under Slipstreams blows and Bumblebee's rapid jabs, with a grace much like that of a dancer, before jumping into the air, and came back down, slamming her normal feet into Slipstream's helm, sending the Seeker crashing into the ground, and using her mechanical limbs to grab Bumblebee and toss the scout aside into a pile of Titan limbs. She then scuttled towards Ratchet who tried swiping at her with his medical blades, but was too slow, this being proven when Patch-Up caught both his limbs with her regular hands, wrapped her tentacles around his chassis, and threw him into a damaged Titan chassis.
She walked forward with no emotion on her face, almost as though she didn't care. "You really need to work out on training your soldiers Prime, they're sloppy" Optimus made no remark, except for activating his mask, and pulling out his blades. Patch-Up lunged forward, her mechanical tentacles having been turned into blades, only for Prime to block and parry each blow with a speed that only a Prime could match. The two traded blows with each other, and despite the scientist being only the size of a human, the two of them were equals.
"You're strong Prime, stronger then I first thought, but even you have your limits" Patch-Up taunted, causing Optimus to narrow his optics. "That will never happen, so long as my spark beats" The scientist's eyes narrowed at this. "That can be easily countered" She then launched herself into the air, and wrapped her tentacles around the Autobot leader, who struggled to break free, only for Patch-Up to snake the tentacles around his legs, and cause him to fall over backwards.
Patch-Up slowly hovered her body over his chest, and blades slid out from her wrist, which she slowly raised over her head. "It's been an honor fighting you, but I'm sorry it had to end this way" As she was about to land the killing blow, a blaster bolt slammed into her back, stopping her. She whirled around to see Slipstream back on her feet, one hand turned into a blaster, while the other was aiming a missile at her. "The harvest has been canceled" she spoke.
This distracted Patch-Up long enough to break free of her grip and punch the scientist, sending her flying off to the side, into some barrels. As she removed her self from the pile of barrels she was buried under, she saw Slipstream help Optimus back onto his feet. "This is going to be wonderful" Patch-Up muttered.
...
Corrosive laughed gleefully as he sprayed the room with acid, forcing the femme's to stay on the move. As Elita dodged another spray of acid, she spoke. "We have to(WHOOSH) take out his weapons(WHOOSH) if we want to be able to get close!" Airachnid and Ardent, both of them being flyers, were having an easier time staying out of Corrosive's range.
"The two of us could try drawing his attention" Airachnid spoke. "While you guys try pelting him with blaster fire, or getting in close"
"I recommend the former" Ardent chipped in.
With that, the two flyers dove towards Corrosive, blasters firing. Corrosive noticed the shots hitting him from above, and looked up to see the two femme's dive-bombing towards him, causing him to cackle in glee as he pointed his Titan's nozzles at them, only to be interrupted as more blaster fire slammed into him, causing the walker to stumble backwards. He looked downwards to see the other femme's advancing toward him. Angered, he was about to start spraying acid everywhere, but stopped as he realized something.
He was out of ammo.
Horrified, he looked up from his weapons just in time to see Elita One's fist slam into his face, sending him careening backwards.
"Fine...let's...do this...the...hard way"
He unhooked the tanks from his Titan's back, and pulled two swords from his hips, their blades emitting a faint, green, glow. With a sickening roar, he charged forwards with a mad look in his eyes.
...
Albedo transformed into Humungosaur, and with a primal roar, he charged straight for Jack, ignoring Arcee and Palidan's laser blasts. Jack quickly transformed into Humungosaur as well, and rushed to intercept Albedo. The two collided with such force, that a shockwave was created. Jack delivered a hard uppercut into Albedo's jaw, who fought back with a haymaker. Jack recovered by slamming his knee into Albedo's chest, and punched him in the face as well. Albedo quickly followed up on this by grabbing Jack's leg with his tail, and dragged Jack onto the ground, where he began punching Jack in the face.
As Albedo was about to land a sixth blow, Jack moved his head off to the side so that the punch hit the ground instead, allowing Jack to grab the arm and toss Albdeo over him, with the help of his legs of course. Jack quickly got back onto his feet, and rushed straight towards Albedo, where he quickly headbutted him.
The two titan's traded blows, neither one gaining a distinct advantage. "Just give up Albedo, We're evenly matched, and you're outnumbered" Jack spoke
This caused Albedo to smirk. "Evenly matched huh?" He shoved Jack away, before raising his hand over the red Omnitrix dial on his chest.
"Get a load of this!"
He slammed down onto the dial, and Jack watched, as Albedo's Vaxasaurian form started changing, his hide turning green while his chest turned black, his tail growing a black mace with grey spikes on it, his fingers turning into metal barrels, and his back turning grey, with large spikes on it.
"ULTIMATE HUMUNGOSAUR!"
Jack stared at the evolved Vaxasaurian in awe...and fear.
"Let's see how Jackson Darby, wielder of the Omnitrix, deals this!"
With a blood chilling roar, Albedo charged straight for Jack, his eyes filled with blood lust.
...
