DUEL IN THE ICE

The Ark was on the middle of the Sahara Desert. Inside of it, Optimus and his Strike Team were waiting when then Knock Out and Wheelie entered. "Knock Out, Wheelie, it is to good to see you again." Alpha Trion said.

"*chuckle* It took us some time to find you Sir." Knock Out said.

"Time that we wasted here waiting if you ask me." Starscream grumbled to himself.

"So Alpha, why did you call us?" Wheelie asked, ignoring Starscream's comment.

"Follow me." Alpha Trion said and he left with Knock Out and Wheelie. "During our hunt for the Star Saber we found three remarkable individuals. And I think that you should help me analyzing them." Alpha Trion said.

"Analyze them? I suppose they are different from us, right?" Knock Out said as they entered the laboratory to find the Mini-Cons Sparkplug, Longarm and Jolt. "Well, this answer my question."

"They are the ones that sent the signal to Cybertron about the Three Legendary Mini-Con Weapons." Alpha Trion explained.

"It doesn't matter who they are. I'm glad that I finally met a Transformer that has the same size as I." Wheelie said amused.

"Idem." Jolt said, he and Wheelie did a high-five.

"Sir, where is Optimus?" Knock Out asked.

"Optimus is talking to another individual we found. And it was...Quite shocking to say the least." Alpha Trion replied.

In another room Optimus, Red Alert and Impactor were listening to SG Megatron's report about the last years in his universe. After two years of war, the Decepticons had won only a few hundreds of Autobots were left and most of them was willing to living in peace with the rest of the Universe and help restore the damage cause by the war, but unfortunately Optimus and some of his most trusted men ha escaped to the other universe, and afterward Megatron took some of his men and went after Optimus's fugitives. Rad and his friends were listening to everything from outside the door. "A parallel Universe? As if alien robots already weren't a shock big enough." Rad said.

The teens left when the door moved and the Autobots and SG Megatron left. "So there is a possibility that your Autobots are on the hunt for the Legendary Mini-Con Weapons?" Optimus asked.

"Yes. He'll probably use the weapons to conquer my Universe again, and probably yours." SG Megatron said.

"That is something that I wont allow to happen." Optimus said and he pressed a button in the side of his head. "Jetfire, put us on route to Arctic."

"Right away sir." Jetfire said and he pressed some buttons and turned the ship's steering wheel. The Ark rose up and it flew away to North Pole.

IN ARCTIC

A small Scout Drone that was round with a single eye floated around the area, then it found an outpost composed of many small buildings. "ALERT! ALERT! SECTOR SEVEN BASE ENCOUNTERED REQUESTING REINFORCEMENTS!" The Scout Drone said via signal then multiple Decepticon Drop Ships passed by and released Decepticon Drones lead by Snow Cat, the small army marched towards the base at full speed and shooting. Some minutes later after the place was taken, Cyclonus appeared. "Geez this place is a mess. It is practically useless to us." Cyclonus commented then he noticed a Mini-Con panel and he took discretely took it.

"It was not that useless." Cyclonu looked back and he saw Snow Cat. "I invaded their computer systems and discovered that there is a plane with three Mini-Con panels coming to this place." Snow Cat said.

"Three Mini-Con Panels? All three Legendary Mini-Con Weapons are composed of three Mini-Cons, right?" Cyclonus said.

"Exactly. We just have to wait until they appear." Snow Cat explained.

Meanwhile in an ice Canyon a Space Bridge portal materialized then Starscream, Sideswipe and Jetfire and the tree teens jumped through it. "Having our pilot here in sight is dangerous. If something happens to you Jetfire we'll stay stuck here in this Freezer-land." Sideswipe said while trembling due to the cold.

"*Hmpf* I am not as defenseless as you are suggesting." Jetfire said while crossing his arms. Then a black and white jet passed flying above them.

"And don't forget that I am here to provide you with back up. I'll scout the area ad see what I can find, Megatron out." SG Megatron said and then he transformed to robot mode and he landed on the ground above them and he walked away.

"Stay close and try to don't get hurt, okay?" Starscream said to the three teens and the group walked forwards. After some seconds they arrived at the end of a cliff. They looked down and saw a natural maze in ice, made by multiple Crevices.

"We need to think of a way to go down." Jetfire said and then he noticed some pieces of ice that were positioned in a good way. "I think those pieces of ice are strong enough for us to go down without causing with safety, but let's go quiet and slow." Jetfire said as they went down. Some seconds later a plane with Sector Seven symbol on it came flying above them and it was shot down and crashed on the ice floor.

The attacker was Goldbug that put his sniper rifle in his back and he took a small pistol. With him were SG Ironhide, SG Ratchet and SG Drift. "The data in the Sector Seven outpost was quite accurate. Okay men, let's go before the boss gets angry." The SG Autobots transformed to vehicle mode and then they rushed towards the fallen plane. SG Ironhide stomped on the pilot cockpit killing the pilot while SG Drift cut the plane in half making three Mini-Con plates fly away.

"Thank you for this, gentleman. Now let's see what is inside." Ratchet said and he transformed his right hand in a tube that emitted energy and a visor appeared in his eyes. Then he proceeded to stab the Mini-Con Panels that then materialized a Volkswagen Lupo, a Lemans Racer and a F-1 Racer car and then the vehicles transformed.

"Dirt Boss Transform!"

"Downshift Transform!"

"Indy Transform!"

"That is what we wanted." Goldbug said and he pressed a button in the side of his head. "Hey boss, we have the three Mini-Cons to create the Legendary Weapon." Goldbug said.

"Excellent Goldbug, I and Jazz will come as soon as possible." SG Optimus Prime said via communication.

"There is no way that I'll let them escape with those Mini-Cons!" Sideswipe said and then he jumped to the ground and then he drew his twin pistols and rushed towards the SG Autobots while shooting at them.

"We are under attack! Secure the Mini-Cons!" SG Ratchet ordered, he transformed his right hand into a four barreled cannon and the SG Autobots shot at the red Autobot.

"Great. I'll finally be able to kill a Sideswipe." Goldbug said and he took his rifle and he tried to shoot Sideswipe but then he was hit in the knee and the shoulder. Sideswipe put his pistols in the holsters and then he transformed his hands into blades and he jumped and took Goldbug down with a dive slash and he kicked SG Ratchet in the knee and then knelt him in the face. SG Ironhide and SG Drift were going to attack Sideswipe but then Starscream and Jetfire entered in the fight and attacked them. "That is it men! We'll clean the floor with those suckers' faces!" Sideswipe said enthusiastically, Goldbug rose up and he punched Sideswipe in the face before counter-attacking.

"This reminds me of when we were scientists working in the same laboratory. Do you remember when those thugs invaded the lab and attacked us, Starscream?" Jetfire said as he evaded SG Drift's attacks.

Starscream chuckled as he used his sword to block SG Ironhide's punches. "How could I forget them? I stood the Hospital for three months because of them." Starscream said and then he evaded another punch aimed to his head and stabbed him in the shoulder.

"Put your weapons down!" Starscream and the other Autotbots looked back and saw SG Optimus and SG Jazz aiming their weapons at Rad, Carlos and Alexis.

"In case you didn't understand I'll explain to you. You'll put your weapons down and let us go with the Mini-Cons and I'll won kill your little pets." SG Jazz said with his gun pointing at Alexis.

"Unfortunately those Mini-Cons are property of the Decepticons!" Snow Cat came dashing with his snow skis and he shot with his cannons allowing three Drones to capture the Mini-Cons and flee away.

Starscream took advantage of the Autobots' distraction and he rushed towards SG Jazz and made him fly with a sword attack that hit him in the stomach. "We are out numbered! Rodimus, we need a Space Bridge to the Ark, now!" SG Optimus ordered. And then a Space Bridge portal appeared and sucked the SG Autobots before disappearing.

"Are you okay kids?" Starscream asked.

"We are fine, thanks." Alexis answered.

"The Decepticons had taken the Mini-Cons. I suggest us to attack them and take the Mini-Cons!" Sideswipe said.

"Attack without thinking? Yeah, this really sounds like you Sideswipe." Starscream said crossing his arms over his chest.

"I suppose you have a better idea, don't you?" Sideswipe retorted.

"In fact I do. After all who knows better how to attack a Decepticon than another Decepticon?" Starscream said and then he started to explain his plan.

In the Sector Seven outpost Snow Cat and the three Drones reunited with Cyclonus and Demolishor. "I got the Mini-Cons from the Autobots, but I don't know how to make them combine." Snow Cat said.

"I know very well, how to make them speak." Cyclonus said, he slammed his right fist in his left palm before knocking Dirt Boss down with a kick and stomped on him.

"Uh...Cyclonus is that really necessary?" Demolishor asked.

"I can't understand how you can be so soft and call yourself Decepticon. I know what I am doing, buddy." Cyclonus said and then he took a Mini-Con panel that then transformed into a black human-sized robot with gray legs and red visor. Cyclonus grinned and then he kicked Dirt Boss away. "Let's make those punks combine, shall we Nightstick?" The Mini-Con Nightstick transformed into a pistol that jumped to Cyclonus's hand. Cyclonus aimed at Dirt Boss and he shot at him, then Dirt Boss combined with Indy and Downshift creating a Yellow shield that deflected Cyclonus's attack back to him. Cyclonus recovered and then he took the shield. "Gentlemen, here we have the Skyboom Shield. The weapon with the biggest defensive capabilities in the universe." Then Sideswipe came racing in vehicle mode with Rad inside of him and then hit Cyclonus in the leg knocking him down. Then Jefire appeared in plane mode and he shoot at the Decepticons. "*Grrr* Pesky Autobots! Get rid of them! I'll contact Megatron and tell we have the Shield!" Cyclonus said as he entered a building. Snow Cat, Demolishor and the Drones begrudgingly pursued the Autobots.

Up in the skies Starscream was in jet mode. "Okay, Starscream. It seems that your plan worked, I just hope that they'll be fine." Alexis said from inside Stasrscream's cockpit.

"Don't worry, Jetfire will be fine. But I would be really concerned with your friend that is with Sideswipe." Starscream said and then he landed, Alexis left his pilot cockpit and he transformed to robot mode. Starscream raised an eyebrow and and then he destroyed a small building.

"What are you doing?!" Alexis said.

"Aren't you curious? Why would Sector Seven have so many Mini-Cons in one of their bases?" Starscream said and he took a Mini-Con from the Debris.

Then the Mini-Con panel started to glow and then a small F-1 red car materialized and then it transformed into a robot. "Greetings sir, I am Grid, thank you for releasing me." The small robot said.

"Releasing you? What do you mean? What was happening here?" Starscream asked.

"The mammals were doing tests on us, studying us...For unknown reasons." Grid asnwered.

"I think they are studying you to make weapons!" Starscream said angrily.

"You humans are so quick to judge us Decepticons, but the truth is that you are not better than us." Someone than the bigger building in the outpost exploded the Shockwave launching Alexis, Starscream and Grid away. Cyclonus left the flaming debris with a laugh. "There is no escape to you!" Cyclonus said, he dashed towarsd Starscream and tried to stomp on him but the Seeker held his foot. "You are a disgrace, Starscream! You call yourself a Decepticon, yet you are helping the Autobots. So please clarify this to me, why are you helping the Autobots?"

Starscream snorted and then he twisted Cyclonus's foot knocking him down. "Dude, you need to know when to shut up!" Starscream said he took his sword and tried to cut him with his sword but Cyclonus evaded and he drew a pair of curved swords and he clashed weapons with Starscream. Cyclonus knelt Starscream in the stomach and then hit him in the face with both swords.

"A little help here Nightstick!" Nightstick jumped and he transformed into a pistol and Cyclonus sheathed his swords and he took Nightstick and started to shoot at Starscream damaging him seriously.

"I need to help him!" Grid thought. "Stay here!" Grid said to Alexis and he transformed to vehicle mode and he rushed towards Starscream, and attached to his back.

"What?" Starscream thought as two long cannons appeared in his shoulders. "Grid...It was you who did this?"

"I boosted you up just like Nightstick did to Cyclonus. Now hurry up and hit him!" Grid said. Starscream smirked and he dashed towards Cyclonus and then kicked him in the face, Cyclonus recovered his balance and he drew one of his swords and he cut Starscream two times before shooting him in the chest. Starscream fell to his right knee but then he kicked Cyclonus in the guts.

Starscream took advantage and he flew up and he aimed his arm cannons at Cyclonus. "Activate Null Ray Cannons!" Starscream claimed and then he started to charge energy in the arm cannons and his shoulder cannons. Then he shot a powerful energy blast at Cyclonus hitting him head on and causing a gigantic explosion that destroyed the whole outpost. Alexis tried to hold on a piece of ice but the shock wave made her fly away. "Grid, your power is incredible!"

"Uh, there was a girl with us...But I can't see her at all." Grid said concerned.

Starscream widened his eyes and he landed, Grid de-attached from him and transformed to robot mode. "Alexis! Where are you?!" Starscream asked.

"Looking for this, Starscream?" Starscream looked back and he saw an injured Cyclonus holding Alexis by her right arm and aiming Nightstick at her.

"This is between you and me!" Starscream said.

"This now involves her because of her presence here." Cyclonus said to Starscream that gritted his teeth but then he over Cyclonus's shoulder and he widened his eyes. "Yeah right, as if this trick would be enough to fool me!" Cyclonus said but then Megatron punched him in the face making him fly towards a mountain of ice and he released Alexis.

"That kind of tactic is only used by cowards, Cyclonus. Long time no see you Starscream, you've softer after all these years working with the Autobots." Megatron said.

"And you didn't lost none of your ruthlessness 'Lord' Megatron." Starscream said. "Grid!"

"Okay!" Grid transformed to vehicle mode and he attached to Starscream's back making long cannons appear in his shoulders.

"*Hmpf* Impulsive and arrogant as always, don't think that you are the only one that received an upgrade, Starscream." Megatron said as he took a Mini-Con panel that then materialized a a small gray robot that then transformed into a small SUV and attached to his back and then his left hand transformed into a cannon with a bayonet. "Prepare to feel the power of Leader-1!"

Cyclonus emerged from the ice and he saw Megatron and Starscream fighting and he hmpfed. "He is all yours Megatron." Cyclonus said and he took two Mini-Con panels and he flew up and landed on a mountain to see the fight.

Megatron yield his katana with his right hand and he rushed to attack Starscream that defended with his sword and he tried to counter-attack with a kick but Megatron stopped it by using his fusion cannon. "Mega Cannon!" Megatron charged energy in his cannons and then he shot a powerful energy blast at Starscream in stomach and he cut him with both blades, Starscream feel to his knees and Megatron aimed his left cannon at the Seeker's head. "Now Starscream, you'll..."

"You'll become scrap, you monster!" SG Megatron transformed from jet mode to robot mode and he punched his evil counterpart in the face making him fly through a big piece of ice.

Megatron brushed his hand on his face and then he looked at his SG counterpart with a confused look and he raised an eyebrow. "What in name of Primus is this?" Megatron muttered.

"I am the man that you'll never be!" SG Megatron said and he drew a pair of swords and then two cannons appeared in his shoulders and he dashed towards Megatron and started to overwhelm him.

From a mountain a purple and gray Decepticon with three pointed helmet, red eyes, and an orange cannon in his right arm wearing a hooded cloak watched Megatron being defeated by his SG counterpart and he smirked. "My poor brother, he wasted too much energy in his last attack." The hooded Decepticon said and then he transformed into a Tank and then he charged energy in the cannon and he shot the energy blast in the mountain behind causing an avalanche to fall on SG Megatron. The hooded Decepticon smirked and he pressed a button in the . "Megazarak, I need a Space Bridge to the Revenge." He said before he transformed into a Jet and he flew to space and he crossed a Space Bridge portal that then disappeared.

Cyclonus didn't understand what was happening but he didn't lose time. "Megazarak, prepare Space Bridges to teleport us all back to the Revenge. Repeating, we need Space Bridges back to the Destroyer!" Cyclonus said then multiple Space Bridge portals appeared and sucked the Decepticons back to the Destroyer.

"What am I doing here? We have to kill them and weaken Optimus's forces!" Megatron said, Leader-1 de-attached from him

"You are a bigger fool than I thought. Our goal was to get the Skyboom Shield before Optimus's team and we did it. Frankly, I still don't understand why you can't control your destructive impulses. In the end you weren't such efficient Decepticon Leader that everyone praises." Cyclonus said.

Megatron lunged at him and he stabbed his Katana in Cyclonus's shoulder and kept him stuck in a wall and he aimed his Fusion Cannon at him. "I may not be the Decepticon Leader, but I still retain all the strength and ability that allowed me to retain this post for years." Megatron said. Cyclonus and Nightstick widened their eyes and they started to sweat nervously. But then Megatron moved his cannon away and he took his Katana off Cyclonus's shoulder and he walked away. "Once I have all the weapons everyone in the universe, even Megazarak will bow before me." Megatron thought as he left with Leader-1.

In Arctic, Alexis rose up and she cleaned the snow off her face to see Starscream and Grid taking SG Megatron out of the snow. "Are you okay, Starscream?" SG Megatron asked.

"I am, but please, don't say these things again, alright? I'll never get used to Megatron being concerned with me, even being a counterpart from another universe." Starscream said.

"I am sorry, but I must regroup with my Decepticons and hunt down Optimus's Autobots before they cause more destruction. But if need my assistance, I shall help you without thinking twice." SG Megatron said and he transformed to jet mode and flew away.

In outer space inside the SG Ark. SG Optimus roared and he destroyed everything in his room. Then a purple Autobot with details in red and white, beard and mustache and knight like armor. "I hope you have a good reason for appearing now Alpha Trion." SG Optimus snarled.

"You were so close, yet you failed to take the Mini-Con Weapon." SG Alpha Trion said.

Optimus took a deep breath and he calmed slightly. "Yes...The Decepticons in this universe are a pain like the ones in our universe." SG Optimus muttered.

"Think about this young one: there are many individuals, focused on the quest for power, making it more difficult." SG Alpha Trion said and he left the room.

SG Optimus Prime snorted. "As much as I hate to admit, you are right Old One." SG Optimus said. "If this Cybertron can't be mine, so I'll ensure that it shall be destroyed, whatever it takes!" SG Optimus declared and he laughed maniacally.
