(Chicago, Illinois, Cuervosplicer's POV...)

Every one of our allies came to me with almost every Tyran cluster Decepticon – sans Megatron and Sentinel Prime – taken prisoner.

They were all specially restrained and their weapons taken away for our personal use to defend against any more Decepticons, Mercenaries or Quintessons.

Our human allies, Sam Witwicky, Mikaela Banes and Leo Spitz came up to me and Sam asked me, "You guys are keeping prisoners?"

I answered, "Yes. We Autobots are not executioners. At least, not unless we're dealing with these guys in a traditional trial that ends with the judge ordering for an execution from a firing squad. But since the primary judges in the Autobot High Council on Cybertron are presumably dead, we'll have to make do with what and who we have."

Soon, the votes came down swiftly: kill those who are intensely loyal to Megatron and reprogram those who are only loyal because of the slave programming.

We started with Soundwave, and Bumblebee took sadistic pleasure in executing Soundwave the same way he was obliterated in the original timeline.

We executed Space Case, we executed Blademaster, Ironhide executed Bludgeon, we executed Brimstone, we reprogrammed Crumplezone, Sideswipe executed Darksteel, the entire team of Wreckers executed Devcon, Jetfire executed Divebomb, Wheeljack reluctantly executed Dreadwing, Mirage executed Fearswoop, and Drift executed Fracture.

Next on the list to execute was Barricade.

I said to him demonically, "Prepare to be reunited with Frenzy in Hell, Barricade."

Suddenly, one of our Aerialbots came crashing onto the scene... with Megatron leading the remaining Decepticon army – generic troops and clones included – and they opened fire on the prisoners' restraints, freeing them and allowing them to escape.

I roared in rage and fury as I charged Megatron to challenge him to another one-on-one fight to the death.

As the battle commenced for real, Autobots and Decepticons alike charged as Megatron and I respectively narrated, "This was it. The final battle between Autobots and Decepticons was starting for real this time. Our war has devastated Cybertron and Earth over the years." "It is a necessary war to return Cybertron and the race of Transformers to glory and to the top of ruling of the universe!" "But the Autobots will never sacrifice freedom, for freedom is the right of all sentient beings." "The Decepticons will bring the Earth and Cybertron to order!" "Our defeat will mean the end of everything, and it'll be twice as worse as the events leading to the Second Coming of Christ from human religious scripture." "My victory will mark a brilliant new beginning for all of Cybertron and his people!" "At the end of this day, one shall stand..." "...One shall fall!"

To be continued...

(Author's notes: This is it, ladies and gentlebots! The final battle between Autobots and Decepticons is about to begin!
