Me: Update! Next chapter will have the new opening. Warning: Character Death
Kono omoi wo keshite shimau niwa mada jinsei nagai desho? (I still have too long a life ahead to get rid of these feelings, right?)
(The seven Chaos Emeralds floated around a PeT with an Alchemy seal drawn upon it. Lan and Megaman appeared before it, walking past one another. The screen glowed before showing a Blue Eyes firing a Burst Stream of Destruction)
Yarinokoshite'ru koto yarinaoshite mitai kara (I want try doing over the things I've left undone)
(The beam turned into powerful flames before zooming out to see Lan, Megaman, Sonia, Arthur, Fong, Rabbit Yuck, Ace, Ed, and Al standing before a building in flames. The Japanese Caricature for 'Cybernetic Blue Blur: Four Years' appeared with a fusion of the SEGA Sonic Symbol and the Hikari symbol behind it. It zoomed out even further to reveal it was nighttime. The screen went into the air as numerous blue lightning bolts rained down.)
Yume no tsuzuki oikakete ita hazu na no ni (I thought I was running after something carried over from my dreams)
(The scene changed to Ed approaching the camera with a heavy wind blowing in a field of wheat, preparing to perform Alchemy. It changed to Human Yuck and Ace looking up at the camera from an alley.)
Magarakunetta hosoi michi hito ni tsumazuku (Yet I'm stumbling into people on this narrow, winding road)
(It changed to Sonia and Arthur staring up at the moons and stars with Sonia seeing Geo in the moon. It changed to show Sonia's tearing face.)
Ano koro mitai ni tte modoritai wake ja nai no (It's not like I want to go back to the way things were back then)
(The scene changed to the group all sleeping with one another under the star with Ed's belly hanging out and Lan drooling on Yuck. It changed to a slide-up of Al lying on the grass in the daytime. It changed to his POV as he looked at his left hand, reaching up to the sky and then changed to a far view of him standing in a field of flowers)
Nakushite kita sora wo sagashite'ru wakatte kuremasu you ni (I'm just searching for the sky I've been losing Here's hoping you'll understand)
(The scene changed to show a revolving zoom-in of Lan before stopping at the side of his face, turning it into an outline as the missing Smashers and Assists were shown in the background with various shaded Smashers yet to be taken.)
Gisei ni natta you na kanashii kao wa yamete yo (Stop making that sad face as though you were a victim)
(The scene changed to a younger Ed standing before his old home on a cloudy day before it zoomed out as blue lightning disintegrated his right arm and left leg.
Tsumi no saigo wa namida ja nai yo, zutto kurushiku seotte'ku n da (Sins don't end with tears, you have to carry the pain forever)
(It changed to a young Alphonse on the street around sunset/sunrise before zooming out as the blue lighting took away his body and clothes completely.)
Deguchi mienai kanjou meiro ni dare wo matte'ru no? (Who am I waiting for, in this maze of emotions with no way out of sight?)
(It changed to Lan in front of the Rockbell home where the blue lightning turned his left arm into his new Automail before he engaged Dragon Claws and dashed at the screen. It changed to Clockman in a dark background followed by a slide-up of Phantom Dark, then Protoman AB, followed by Juvia and Dark-Slayer, before ending with Chaud and Akainu smirking sinisterly in the red and black sky.)
Shiroi nooto ni tsuzutta you ni motto sunao ni hakidashitai yo
nani kara nogaretai n da…genjitsu tte yatsu? (I want to purge myself more simply, as if writing in a blank notebook What is it I want to escape from?…is it reality? )
(The scene changed to Ace firing his Hiken with Acid Ace shooting his blaster. It changed to Lyra Note flying across the sky with four blue angel wings and firing a barrage of Crystal Beast-colored Shock Notes at the screen before changing to a low angle of Yuck roaring as a wolf-like green Woo-Foo Aura erupted from him)
Kanaeru tame ni ikite'ru n datte Sakebitaku naru yo Kikoete imasu ka? (It makes me want to scream that we're alive for things to come true. Can you hear me?)
(It changed to Lan charging at Dark-Slayer with his left arm transmuted into a sword. It zoomed out to show them fighting on a bridge with Dark-Slayer taking flight over Lan and firing a Yamiryu no Hoko before Lan countered with his Dragon Cannons. Kiryu landed on the bridge with Giganto L, causing it to start collapsing and exploding. The camera changed to behind Lan as Kiryu and Dark-Slayer charged at him in the explosions before he took off on his Dragon Wings.)
Bunan ni nante yatte'rarenai kara…kaeru basho mo nai no (I can't put up with playing it safe…I've got nowhere to go home to.)
(The scene showed Shadow, Bass, Jing, Scar, and Kir all waiting out a rain in a large tree before they stood up with the camera going into a low angle, the sunlight seeping through the leaves. It changed to the Crystal Beasts, three Blue Eyes White Dragons, a Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, a Blue Eyes Shining Dragon, the Egyptian Gods, the Wicked Gods, and the Sacred Beasts readying for a large battle aside Stardust Dragon, Black Rose Dragon, Red Daemon's Dragon, and Ancient Fairy Dragon before six giant figures that towered even the nine Gods emerging from the ground.)
Yasashisa niwa itsumo kansha shite'ru Dakara tsuyoku naritai. (I'm always grateful for kindness. That's why I want to grow stronger) [I'm on the way]
(The scene changed to Ed performing Alchemy, forming various spikes in the ground at sunset before it changed to see a violet T-Rex, a giant spider, and a red pterodactyl charging at him while dodging the spikes before a silverback gorilla, a giant rat, and a cheetah joined up with Ed and charged.)
Natsukashiku naru konna itami mo kangei jan (I'll even welcome this pain for the things I miss)
(The scene changed to Maylu with both her arms shading her eyes, making them unable to be viewed as she mouth 'Natsukashiku' before the scene changed to Lan and Ed ripping their Automail arms off and throwing them. The scene changed to see the two Automail before the Master Emerald shatter. It changed to a far-away low angle view of the group watching the sunset with their shadows nearly touching the bottom of the screen)
"So…Have you found anyone?" Dark Protoman asked as he entered a room with various monitors.
"Yes, actually," Chaud chuckled, "In fact, I have them both on chat right now."
-So what can I do you for?- a voice asked.
Protoman looked at two of the monitors. Both had strange robots on them. One resembled a giant red crab with large metallic-purple claws on his shoulders. He gulped as he saw its face. It had green optics and a red head. He had six, leg-like horns on the sides of his head and his mouth seemed like a crab's mouth. The other was just as fearsome. He looked as if he were assembled from various parts. His left arm was a yellow hook while he had a right red arm. His left leg was like his body; black and green, yet his right leg was red, white, and black. He had spikes on his shoulders and neck and a white face with red optics and black marks.
-Is that fear you are feeling? Yes...my spark feeds on terror. Let it grow! Let it consume your circuitry! Feel it, yes, feel it! Feel the fear!- the crab-like monster cackled.
"Rampage, enough," Chaud ordered, "So, can I count on your assistance, bounty hunter, as I have with Rampage?"
-Please. We're business partners now. You can call me Lockdown- the white headed one replied –So you must be one of the partners I'm working with. Interesting sword. I may just have to fight you for it sometime-
"Great…" Dark Protoman scoffed, 'Where the hell is Dark-Slayer and that Juvia, dammit?'
In the Prisioner Facility, Dark-Slayer sneezed. He seethed as Peach applied a little alcohol to one of the wounds Mew unleashed on him the second he walked in. Now she was in the other room, shouting at Juvia with the entire room being muffled by a Foo-Field she made Yo put up.
"I'll tell you, Lucario; You have one scary woman for a wife," Yo said.
"Aye!" Happy nodded on Dark-Slayer's head.
"Happy…Why did you follow me?" Dark-Slayer asked.
"I was curious," Happy replied, "Plus, Mirajane asked me to."
"M-Mirajane-sama did?" Dark-Slayer stammered.
"Who's Mirajane?" Crow asked.
"Uh…N-No one you need to know about…" Dark-Slayer replied as he looked away, blushing furiously.
"So where is Lance?" Jigglypuff asked.
"He should be on his way to a safe place," Dark-Slayer replied, "So what did I miss on the thing?"
"Well…Cheetor, Optimus, and Rattrap have these new bodies with Optimus's body literally being brand new," Louie replied.
"Hm?" Dark-Slayer tilted his head.
"His old body got destroyed in a Trans-Warp Explosion and destroyed a Planet Buster in the process," Rua explained, "Oh man! They look so cool now! Too bad Megatron had to get a Transmetal body."
"I see…So…what about that white tiger?"
"…He…He and AirRazor were abducted…" Olimar replied, "It appears that alien race had another device in the form of a plant. The two were taken by it and it turned into a giant ship. Megatron boarded the vessel with the Alien Golden Disk that Dinobot gave him when he temporarily allied himself with the Predacons."
"He what? He's suppose to have honor, right?"
"Well, yes," White nodded, "A lot of them have forgiven him, though Rattrap is still not forgiving him just yet."
"But what's really scary is that new Predacon…" Geo shivered.
"New Predacon?" Happy repeated.
"Yes. His name is Rampage, formerly Protoform X. It…It's a monster!" Geo shuddered, "It nearly killed Sonia and Lyra!"
"Easy there, Geo…" Yusei advised as he forced Geo to sit down, "I know you're furious at the guy, but now is not the time. I'm sure he'll still be out there for you to beat up when we get out."
"What is he-a doing?" Mario exclaimed, getting everyone attention to the television.
Dinobot knelt down on the floor of his quarters. He grasped his blade, the weapon slowly spinning, and contemplated. He stared out at the sun to see three crows flying upwards, the three performing the missing man formation. He flipped the blade so that it pointed downwards. He had learned much about these being called 'samurai' from Sonia. He felt that this was what needed to be done. He began to growl as his hands shook. He snarled as he tossed it to the side. In the brig, Optimus and Megaman entered via the elevator. Recently, he had obtained a few Double Souls of their new Transmetal forms and of Silverbolt. The two spent most of the morning practicing with them in spars incase another fight took place.
"So, what is it?" Optimus asked.
"Remember that Trans-Warp Cell Explosion?" Rhinox asked before flinching under the glare from the Transmetal Gorilla, "Okay. Stupid question."
"And the Understatement of the Stellar Cycle Trophy goes to…Rhinox!" Lan joked, earning a laugh from Rattrap, Ace, and Yuck…until Fong got all three with a kick to the head.
"Anyway, we've been calculating its path," Arthur explained.
"The temporal wave front is moving into the future at an accelerated rate," Rhinox explained, "It will reach Cybertron in approximately 2.28 deca-cycles!"
"They're going to know where the Beast Wars are," Acid put in simply.
"The question is has Megatron made the same calculations…" Optimus pondered.
"I bet he hasn't," Yuck said, "The guy's too dumb."
"Oh, if I was a bettin' rodent, and I am, oh yeah," Rattrap argued.
"Hm…We better start increasing the base defenses," Megaman advised.
"Are you sure you're feeling better?" Lan asked.
"Yes, I'm alright," Sonia nodded in her bed, "Why are you so protective of me, Lan?"
"Because I don't want to get slagged by your fiancé because I let you get hurt by a stinkin' Predacon like that Ramapge," Lan replied, recalling how the new Predacon nearly killed Sonia and Lyra.
"Uh, Lan…You're taking a page from Rattrap again," Lyra sweatdropped.
"Slaggit! I swear, I've spent too much time wit da rodent in dis base!" Lan complained, "Now I'm startin' ta get a Brooklyn accent, for booting up cold!"
"The base remains to be filled with vermin, I see!" a voice growled before the three peeked out to see Dinobot walking past an annoyed Rattrap.
"Yeah? Funny, you know, not much changes around here," Rattrap spoke as he went to work on repairing something, "Except your occasional allegiance."
The three flinched as they saw Dinobot stop. Dinobot took a deep breath and exhaled before turning around. He slowly approached the Transmetal rat.
"Find any Golden Disks lately?" Rattrap asked, "Pass dem on ta any Predacons?"
"Rattrap!" Lan growled as they walked out, "You are going over the line. Why can you not accept that Dinobot has realized the mistake?"
"I don't need to explain my actions to any of you…especially you, mouse!" Dinobot snarled, poking Rattrap in the torso for added effect.
"Yeah, dat's right! Ya don't! 'Cause dey pretty much speak for themselves!" Rattrap growled.
"Go ahead, rodent. Push it one more inch…" Dinobot growled, tapping Rattrap in the area where a nose would have been when Rattrap pushed the guy into a wall.
"You know, I used ta figure I had you pegged," Rattrap spoke, "'Oh, he's a slag-spoutin' saurian, but at least you know where he stands!' Guess we live and learn…"
"Rattrap, get back here!" Lan ordered.
"The rodent's words…Give off the stench of truth…" Dinobot lamented.
"Sensei?" Sonia pondered.
"Destiny…is one great distance over us all. Has mine already come…And have I failed it? A deed once done…cannot be undone. But perhaps yet…It may be mitigated!" Dinobot spoke before turning into Beast Mode and dashed out of the base.
"Sensei, wait up! Trans-Code 004, Lyra Note! On the Air!" Sonia called out as she turned into Lyra Note and gave chase.
"Why do you follow me, girl?" Dinobot asked.
"Because, I did the same thing as you," Lyra Note explained, "I left my friends and even broke the only Brotherband I had, even breaking my relationship with Geo-kun. I did it so I could protect them, but I only hurt those that cared about me more. Omega-Xis still doesn't forgive me for it even thought I explained why I did all that."
"You speak of this Geo often."
"I do, don't I, Sensei?" Lyra Note asked.
"Every once in a while," Dinobot replied as he picked up a blue strand, "Spider thread of a Predacon."
-Anyone, come in!-
"This is Dinobot and Lyra Note. Speak, feline!"
-I'm teaching a solo-lesson to Megatron and Rampage. Problem is they're slow learners and-Ah!-
"Cheetor-kun, daijobu?" Lyra Note asked.
-Yeah. I'll survive. But somebody's gotta follow up on Megatron. See what he's up to-
"Fear not. Someone most assuredly will," Dinobot growled as he transformed, blaster in hand.
"Is that true, Geo?" Aki asked.
"Yes. It was when Omega-Xis and I ate three OOPArts," Geo explained, ignoring the glare from Solo, "She was taken by this group that wanted those things to revive the continent Mu. She agreed to locate the place for them if they agreed to leave me and our friends alone."
"She still hurt you," Omega-Xis growled, "Breaking your Brotherband and even dumping you."
"She did it to protect me," Geo argued.
"Holy shit! That guy just blew up a mountain!" Crow exclaimed.
"That…Is one mean crab…" Dark-Slayer gulped.
"Yes…Yes…Oh my crazed crustacean, do you realize what this means?" Megatron asked.
"Oh no…He's changing the future, isn't he?" Lyra Note asked on the abducted Tarantulas's Vehicle Mode.
"When reality alters, the future alters with it!" Dinobot growled, "With the Golden Disk, Megatron's power is…limitless!"
"Bad idea to give it back to him, huh?" Tarantulas chuckled sinisterly…earning him a whack from Lyra Note via Guitar Airlines, "I regret nothing!"
"Oh my…What are those things down there?" Lyra pondered.
The two looked down into the valley filled with various flora to see strange simian-like creatures. The three didn't notice that Megatron was looking in the valley as well with Rampage.
"Those are…unevolved humans…" Dinobot's eyes widened, "This valley must be where humans emerged from in this world…"
"Sensei, you don't think Megatron would…" Lyra Note began.
"Yes. Dinobot to Optimus Primal," Dinobot growled as the three saw Inferno, Waspinator, and Quickstrike on Inferno fly over to Megatron.
-Optimus here. What is it, Dinobot?-
"Code Red. Situation: Extreme!"
"Destroy this valley, and everything in it! The human race will never had existed!" Megatron ordered as the Predacons open fired.
"Oh no!" Lyra Note and Lyra screamed.
"What the hell are they doing?" Yang exclaimed.
"Oh my…They're trying to make it so humans never existed on that planet in their time!" Yin gasped.
"I'm scared…" Ruka whimpered as she looked away with Rico, both burying themselves into Aki's dress as she hugged them close, never once looking away from the screen.
"It's the Ishvalan War all over again on a smaller scale…" Mustang whispered.
"No…This one is worse. It will exterminate not just those in that valley, but all of the human race on that world," Armstrong argued.
"The question that once haunted my being has been answered. The future is not fixed, and my choices are my own. And yet, how ironic...for I now find that I have no choice at all! I am a warrior...let the battle be joined," Dinobot declared as he cut his communication with Optimus, "Girl, will you join me?"
"Hai, Sensei," Lyra Note replied, "I won't let them do this!"
The warriors stood on the edge of the valley, Dinobot blocking the twilight sun as if he was the barrier between day and night. Perhaps he was, for, on one side, he was nothing but a golden reflection and on the other side, he was just a dark, outline with no discernible features. The image suited him well, as one who had been both Predacon and Maximal.
With a leap, he allowed for his aggressive, Predacon programming to kick in and joined Blackarachnia and Inferno in the cackling firestorm beneath him at the valley floor. As he landed beside the red ant, he tapped the Predacon on the shoulder. Just as Inferno swirled around, Dinobot uppercutted the other bot as he drove the sword deep into the red bot's chest area before following with a left hook to ensure that Inferno would go into stasis lock. Blackarachnia attempted to neutralize him by advancing and firing her eight, spider leg machine guns at the same time, but after the bullet that shattered the hilt of Dinobot's sword, no shot did any considerable amount of damage to Dinobot, who stood unfazed and firm as he grabbed Inferno's unconscious shell. He then swung the body before him like a shield, forcing Inferno to take the brunt of Blackarachnia's barrage of bullets.
Vainly, Blackarachnia attempted to continue, but was blasted backwards and into stasis lock when Dinobot took Inferno's flamethrower and unleashed its powers upon her. He knew that he was adding to the ecological problems that the Predacons had introduced, but that was the least of Dinobot's concerns at the moment. The warrior could feel a systems analysis rising up his circuits, but rejected them, for he knew the amount of damage that he took from those bullets that soared past his shield, Inferno.
Knocked off of the body from impact, Inferno's head sailed into Megatron's view to the other side of the valley. Lyra Note dashed by and caught Rampage by surprise. She unleashed a flurry of BreakSword BattleCards and a HeavyAxe BattleCard before changing frequencies before Rampage tried to get her. She changed frequencies once more and nailed the Predacon in the back with a Shock Note: Fortissimo. She formed a Smash Ball with her Smash Scarf and unleashed her Final Smash.
As the Maximals raced across arid terrain to reinforce Dinobot, Rattrap complained, "No matter how soon we get there, it's gonna be way too late!"
"Do you always have to see the bright side?" Sighed Rhinox.
"Dinobutt and da girlies against six Preds? There won't be enough left of them to make a toaster!" Retorted the racecar rat.
"You better hope they're alright, Rattrap!" Lan growled.
'Luffy…Is this how you felt when you were coming to try and save me…?' Ace thought.
"Dammit, Sonia…" Arthur growled, "I made a promise to protect you and find Geo and it's already being broken on one end."
Dinobot snarled as he lost his shield, having squished Waspinator from the attempt at flying over him with his spinning shield. He snarled even more considering he also lost the weapon he took from Inferno's body. Damaged, smoking, sparking, and now empty-handed, Dinobot refused to let the fires of anger and determination leave his eyes as he clenched his reptilian fists. He glared upward to see the gloating Megatron, his ultimate target. As long as Megatron held the golden disk, Dinobot had a job to do, for his honor and for Cybertron.
"One lonely turncoat…battling on against impossible odds? I'm almost…touched…" Megatron snickered as he wiped a tear from his optics, "Fortunately, such moments pass quickly. Quickstrike, scrap him!"
"Coward…" The raptor muttered under his breath.
As Quickstrike transformed and set off, Megatron mused darkly, "And just to tilt the odds even further…"
The purple bot's gaze settled on a group of terrified Neanderthals huddled against some rocks down below as the jungle went up in blazes. As if totally oblivious to the humans' feelings, Megatron sneered. It grew wider when Lyra Note appeared with Lyra out, numerous injuries and bleeding wounds upon her form from dealing with Rampage. Dinobot picked his way through the rocky gorge in an attempt to rescue the humans, but he then took a laser hit from one side and slammed into the dirt beneath him.
"Well, howdy! Don't bother gittin' up. Ah'll jist kick ya while yer down!" Quickstrike declared in a sardonically cheerful tone as he approached Dinobot and readied another blast.
For a moment, Dinobot wondered why he ever considered taking Quickstrike as a student, but he returned his attention to the battle within a fraction of a second. He did not respond with words, for a vile, dishonorable weakling like the fuzor was not worth his breath at such a crucial moment. Quickstrike raised his blaster-arm to fire, but Dinobot was much faster. With some difficulty, the raptor had coaxed his eye beams out and struck the fuzor in the leg, knocking the other bot off balance.
"So…What's a warrior without weapons, eh?"
"A warrior…still!"
When he saw that Quickstrike was far from finished, Dinobot forced from himself another blast, this time with twice as much difficulty as before. Insurmountable heat had built up within his systems and some circuits were on the brink of liquefaction, but he pushed himself on. Something in Dinobot's chest region beeped, and then the internal computer's voice came on.
-Warning: Power Reserves: 96 percent depleted. Stasis Lock: Commencing-
"Override…"
-Repeat: Further expenditures at this rate will result in the loss of spark in ten cycles- Admonished the computerized voice –Stasis Lock must commence-
"Override!"
-Acknowledged-
He forced himself through the ravaged but still flaming valley, narrowing his gaze at the only remaining Predacon.
"Megatron…"
"Hmm, my ears are burning! Yesss! Why, Dinobot, what a delightful surprise! Let's see, where are we now? I have the Golden Disk, I have the power to change the future, and the only obstacle in my path tounimaginable glory...is yourself. Exhausted. Damaged beyond recovery.Defeated."
"Not just yet!"
"Ah-ah-ah!" Megatron revealed a heavily injured Sonia, bound in Energon bindings, "One more step, and it's raining bits of early anthropoid, yesss…"
"Sensei!" Sonia exclaimed as she saw Dinobot hesitate, "Don't matter about me! Just…do what you have to do!"
"Oh dear, how positively Maximal of you. You were weakened before you started, Dinobot. Weakened by compassion," Megatron sneered.
Megatron began to charge his tail arm. Dinobot roared as he picked up a large branch and slugged Megatron with it, releasing Sonia. Nearby, a Neanderthal watched in some bushes, gawking at seeing Dinobot's club. Megatron swatted Dinobot away.
Megatron laughed as he dusted his left shoulder armor, "Oh-ho-ho-ho, really, Dinobot, a stick—against a Transmetal? I think not."
-"Final Warning: Power failing. Jeopardy extreme. Repeat: Extreme-
"Please. Face it, Dinobot. You're old technology. Obsolete. What could you possibly do?" Megatron sneered.
"Sensei…" Sonia whispered.
"Improvise."
He turned to a stalagmite and banged it with his club, turning it into a primitive hammer. Megatron gasped as Dinobot lunged, whacking the Transmetal T-Rex and releasing the Golden Disk. Sonia gasped as the bindings vanished.
"Sensei…" Sonia whispered as she fought to stay awake.
The Golden Disk slowly spun in the air until Dinobot caught it. He held it up in the air as his optics glowed. With one mighty roar, he used his last bit of energy to shoot a powerful laser, shattering the Golden Disk into millions of shards and fell to the ground. The other Maximals soon appeared and Optimus transformed, opening an assault on Megatron.
"So close…I was so cloooose!" Megatron roared as he retreated in Beast Mode.
Rattrap and Lan ran up and gasped when they saw Dinobot and Sonia. Up above, Megaman: Transmetal Cheetor-Soul and Cheetor flew over, releasing a spray that stopped the fires. Soon, Arthur was working hard on treating Sonia beside Dinobot as they all surrounded them.
"There…There's gotta be something we can do…" Cheetor whispered.
"He's too far gone…" Rhinox shook his head, "…Even for Stasis Lock."
"Well fought, my friends," Optimus congratulated as Dinobot's slowly fading optics stared at him beside the injured Sonia, "You saved the valley. You saved the lives of those who live here...and of those who are still to come."
"Thank you…Big Bot…" Sonia whispered.
"Don't talk, Sonia," Lan said as Fong took out an IV and a bag of Sonia's blood type from Hammerspace, "We're still taking care of your wounds."
"Then…There is nothing to regret…" Dinobot spoke, "Girl…Sonia…I am proud to…have been your Sensei…"
"Sensei…"Sonia whispered.
"I…All I have in…my quarters…It is all yours…Carry what I have taught you…And never forget what has happened…"
"H-Hai…Sensei…" Sonia sniffled, "Hai…Dinobot…"
"Like I said, you're just a blasted, slag-spouting saurian, but…" Rattrap spoke as he held Dinobot's hand with both of his, "...it's nice to know where you stand."
"Upwind of you, for preference, vermin."
Rattrap's eyes widened for a second before they softened with a small smile. Dinobot's breathing became slower as the humans, FM-Ian, Wizard, NetNavi, Arcobaleno, Mobian, and Yuck-who had turned away-began to cry.
"Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly…the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest...is silence..." Dinobot choked out before he went offline.
Rattrap slowly laid the hand down. A glow emerged from the center of Dinobot. They all watched as slowly, Dinobot's Spark emerged from his frame. Rattrap saluted, followed by Sonia, and then everyone else.
"He lived a warrior...and died a hero. Let his spark join the Matrix, the greatest of Cybertron," Optimus let out an eulogy to his fallen comrade.
The next morning, they held a funeral for him. Sonia was the one who placed a flag of the Maximal vessel, folded, on him before Arthur helped her walk away. Above them, Optimus, Cheetor, and Silverbolt flew overhead in a Missing Man Formation as Rattrap and Rhinox activated the device that dissolved Dinobot's remains with the flag with Sonia playing a sad melody on her guitar. At the valley, a curious protohuman, the one spying on the battle, found Dinobot's hammer. It soon figured out how to use it to break coconuts open - and to fend off, and kill, a giant snake. Dinobot's actions with Sonia's assistance not only saved the protohumans of that world, but also helped them take a step toward evolving into humanity on that planet.
Me: And here's another chapter! Dinobot…*cries*
