Transformers Alterverse 1

by Taiya001

What if the Allspark got into someone else's hands. Take a deeper dive into the unique world of Transformers Alterverse where militaristic generals are just as threatening as the Decepticons themselves. Small Note: My earlier chapters were written much less proficiently as my grammar was lacking. My newer chapters get better I promise you. Also I am currently editing the old ones.

"Stephens Awakening and Arkeville's Mistake"

In a medical bay for transformers the distant sounds of bubbles echo in the stasis pod redesigned for humans. A tired and weak young man blinks his eyes open for the first time in weeks. His eyes fill with saline as he starts to come to. The saline solution bubbles as he starts to move his body around to try and get up. In Megatron's chambers a silent alarm goes off indicating that Stephen is finally waking up. Megatron was doing some analysis work and he was happily adverted by the alarm. Megatron hated doing computer work, he would rather fight then work; which is why he always gave this kind of job to Soundwave or Starscream. Mainly he would choose Starscream because he enjoyed watching star cringe about it. Blackout was checking his equipment for anything that Shockwave missed during his health checks. He knew that Shockwave wouldn't tell him if there was anything wrong because of the never ending quarrel between them. So just to make sure that Shockwave didn't install anything hazardous he did a complete check himself. He looked at his monitor to see Megatron. Megatron told him that Stephen was awake and that he should grab Taiya and meet him and Arkeville in the stasis bay. Taiya was hard at work learning about her mission and putting the final touches to Stephens own room. Taiya was with Frenzy and he was teaching her how to use the chips in her back to communicate. Her communications were not limited to radio; frenzy told her that she had the ability to send out messages in Cybertronian to fictional languages like Albhed. He was making progress with it as they spent hours just sitting and relaying messages to one another. As Frenzy stated, communication is the key to making a mission go smoothly. Without it you are blind to the challenges. He spared no opportunity to teach her stuff on the side. Like how to hack into her favorite systems and games to beat them more easily. She was surprised to see that she could do it without being plugged in. as Soundwave commented; she was learning how to talk like a computer. Frenzy and Taiya were interrupted by Blackout and they went with him down to the stasis bay. Taiya was so excited; her brother was fine and well. The scary part was that Arkeville was the first one in the room. To this Taiya had a shudder of disgust. Every time she had to look at the eye sore she felt like she had eaten something rotten. He had his clipboard ready to take down notes. He was making a log of everything and anything interesting; and to him that meant the entire Decepticon way. Stephen managed to lift his body and sit upright. He grabbed the back of the oxygen mask and ripped it off. He felt like suffocating with it on. He took a few deep breaths and rubbed his eyes. Megatron stood with his arms crossed and tapped his foot.

Megatron – "Stephen are you going to make me wait all day for you to get your sorry aft out of that pod!?"
Taiya - {Taiya knew what Megatron was doing and played along} "Yeah! Come on silly butt!"
Stephen - "no you did not just call me that."
Megatron – "No, she was far more polite. What she really meant to say was; YOU ARE A SLAGGING MALFUNCTION!"
Arkeville – {couldn't contain his laughter and laughed hysterically}
Stephen – {pissed started to go red as he got up and tore the wires and tubes from his body}
Megatron – {Was amazed at how fast Stephen reacted. Megatron said quietly} "ah I see, he hates it when people laugh in his face. Let me see if I can help it along." {Megatron spoke up} "I GUESS YOU DIDN'T TAKE MY FIRST PUNISHMENT SERIOUSLY!"
Stephen – {stared angrily at Megatron and slipped falling back into the water}
Megatron – {laughed too} "OH I SEE, BABY SPARKLET NEEDS MOMMIES HELP TO GET OUT OF THE POD!"
Stephen – {went redder with embarrassment got out of the pod and removed the last of the wires} "NO I DON'T!"
Megatron – "Then I suggest you get those legs moving before I do something you will regret. . . tell you what, seeing as I am so understanding and all, you get over to this side of the room and you can do anything you want!"
Stephen – {looked over at Arkeville who was still laughing and smiled defiantly}

Stephen walked across the room; slipping a few times and having to get back on his feet. It was hard to move as he had a few extra pounds in each limb. Every wire and port along with the serum that coated his body was more for him to lift then he was accustomed to.

Taiya – {cheered} "GO STEPHEN GO STEPEHN!"
Frenzy – "COME ON BROCON! GET A MOVE ON!"
Stephen – "Taiya I know you're trying to help but WOULD YOU STOP YELLING!"
Taiya – {quieted down} "sorry, I forgot about the headache."
Arkeville – "Don't worry my boy I have plenty of hydrocodone for that pain when you get moving." {Obviously taunting Stephen only making him want to kill the doctor}
Megatron – "Maybe I was wrong. Maybe your sister is stronger then you! I mean spark; even she admitted that she wanted to hurt me along with Shockwave when she got up!"
Stephen – "HA HA HA HA! I GET IT YOU JERK! BUT I AINT FALLING FOR THAT!"
Megatron – "Then! What do you plan on doing, other then opening your big mouth!?"
Stephen – {mumbled} "you will see you overbearing bastard."

Stephen got closer to the edge of the room and started to go to the left instead of forward. This confused everybody.

Taiya – "uh, bro? You're going the wrong way."
Frenzy – 'we didn't mess up his eyes did we?"
Blackout – "impossible, we did nothing to his eyes."
Megatron – {Tapped Blackout on the shoulder} "Do you think Shockwave did anything I didn't notice?"
Blackout – "I don't know. STEPHEN OVER HERE!"
Megatron – 'HEY! That's my job!"
Taiya – "bro?"

Stephen stopped at the end of the room in front of Arkeville. He kept his head down and Arkeville continued to laugh.

Arkeville – "ha ha ha, you are dumb aren't you. You . . .
Stephen – {lifted his head and with a face red with rage. His eyes glared with a sinister glee as he slammed a huge punch to Arkeville's face} "THAT'LL SHUT YOU UP YOU FUCKING SON OF A BITCH!"
{The others just stood in complete awe. It didn't take long for them to break out in laughter. Even Megatron keeled over in delight to see Arkeville on the floor.}
Rumble – {came down at just that moment and was now on the floor laughing out loud} "OH MAN THAT WAS PRICELESS!"
Stephen – {grabbed Arkeville by the collar} "IS THIS WHAT YOU DID TO MY SISTER TOO!"
Arkeville – {said like a scared little child} "yes.."
Stephen – "I am going to say this once Arkeville, ONCE! YOU TOUCH MY SISTER ONE MORE TIME AND I WILL FEED YOU TO THE FISHES!" {A weird thing happened as Stephen got madder, the lights started to flicker}
Arkeville – "MEGATRON PLEASE CALL STEPHEN OFF!"
Megatron – "Can't do that Arkeville, we had an agreement!"
Stephen – {kicked Arkeville in the groin} "That one is for me." {Stephen grabbed the clipboard and whacked it hard against Arkeville's head} "AND THAT'S FOR BEING AN ASSHOLE!"
Arkeville – "OUCH! STOP PLEASE!"
Stephen – {dropped him and kicked him one more time in the stomach. The pain was awful.}
Arkeville – {crying like a baby ran out of the room but before he got to the exit Stephen picked up Arkeville's calculator that fell out of his pocket and chucked it at him. Arkeville fell to the floor on his face.}
Stephen – "I feel better now." {Waked over to Megatron and rubbed his eyes again as the lights bothered him}
Megatron – "Now that was good, I thought you would try and kick me."
Stephen – "nope. Can someone turn down the light {was stopped as the lights dimmed}
Taiya – "Okay that was weird."
Frenzy – "SWEEEET! I KNEW THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA!"
Megatron – "Frenzy! What did you do?!"
Frenzy – {thinking slag, he found out.} "Idea? WHAT IDEA!? I SEE NO IDEA HERE. . . . "
Megatron – "What am I going to do with you?" {Megatron said as he rubbed his optics}
Frenzy – "all right! I programmed both Taiya and Stephen to have the ability to talk to the nemesis and send out remote hacks, and to make them OS compatible, and
Megatron – "I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF IT!"
Frenzy – "I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF; I WANTED THEM TO BE MORE LIKE ME!"
Rumble – "Ha ha, Frenzy you are so wasted for this."
Blackout – "wait a nanoclick! IS THAT WHY TAIYA HAS BEEN ACTING SO FRANTIC!?"
Frenzy – {avoided optic contact}
Blackout – 'that would explain why she asked me to throw her up the elevator shaft."
Megatron – "Great! You reprogrammed her personality?" {An A HA moment clicked} "RUMBLE DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY TO THE MATTER!"
Rumble – "Hey I am not the guilty one here." {Shook his hands form side to side}
Megatron – "Then, tell me how is it Stephen knew exactly where to hit and throw?"
Rumble – "SLAGGIT! FINE! FRENZY GOT TAIYA SO I WANTED STEPHEN!" {Folded his arms}
Taiya – {leaned over to whisper to Stephen} "is it just me or do you feel used?"
Stephen – "yeah."
Megatron – "Frenzy, you just lost video game privileges. Rumble, you are going to be assigned analysis work." {Megatron was happy to have an excuse to give rumble his job}
Frenzy and Rumble – {looked at each other} "THAT AINT FAIR!"
Megatron – 'You want fair, how about I let Taiya and Stephen mess with your heads! How about that!?"
Frenzy and Rumble – {kept quiet as thoughts of a polite rumble shook rumble to the central processor. While images of a "girlcon like" Frenzy made Frenzy frightened} "yessir"
Megatron – "that's better."{Megatron looked at blackout and pointed at his under eye}
Blackout – "OH YES! I forgot. Stephen tilt your head so I can see you."
Stephen – {did so and blackout held his head still. The same laser motion as what happened with Taiya etched into the boy and left the mark 4500Y}
Taiya- "Wait a minute! Why does his say Y instead of X?"
Blackout – "Females are two x chromosomes and males have a y and x. so that's why the y."
Taiya – "NEATO!"
Megatron – "Stephen, your initiation has passed. Welcome to the team new demolitions expert."
Stephen – "Demolitions?"
Megatron – "Yes, you will be assigned to enter military compounds all across the globe and sabotage them. You work with Rumble as your sister works with frenzy."
Blackout – "So we plan on taking down the world by its infrastructure?"
Megatron – " Precisely my plan. Taiya takes down the computer system, and Stephen works on the physical system."
Rumble – "I like the sound of that!"
Megatron – "Also we can't be calling you both by your names when on mission in case of Autobots hearing our transmissions. So we still need to give you both code names. "
Taiya – {got a little bit jealous and folded her arms} "I see give Stephen all of the cool jobs."
Megatron – {laughed at the sibling rivalry} "It's not my fault your brother is too stupid for a job that requires fines."
Stephen – "ARGH! I AM RIGHT HERE YOU KNOW!"
Megatron – "you are not tactical enough to do a silent mission. You are loud. Your own culture states this, girls are flexible and are able to think more then act. If I were to send you into the same areas as she then you would get found out quickly. But your temper I can use. You are like an unpolished energon ore, but when I refine you and your killer instinct then you shall be a powerful foe."
Taiya – "I am still not happy."
Stephen – "You are just jealous that I got a kick ass job and you got stuck with a desk job."
Megatron – "I would be careful not to anger your superior Stephen."
Stephen – "SUPERIOR!?"
Megatron – "Who do you think is a head of the humanicon sub-faction?"
Taiya – "YOU MEAN I AM HIS BOSS?!"
Megatron – "Your number is 001 right?"
Taiya – "HA! Wait, what do you? Okay I am so confused."
Stephen – {not happy}
Megatron – "Don't short circuit yourself yet Stephen, I want to see how your sister does first. I might make this more like a partnership then a single act. If any of the other Decepticons choose a boy for a pet then the separation of leading roles may be better."
Stephen – "So I would be the leader to the boys and Taiya the leader of the girls?"
Megatron – {nodded}
Taiya and Stephen both looked at each other and shook hands.
Taiya – {got angry and turned to face frenzy} "YOU GO NEAR MY HEAD AND I SWEAR"
Stephen – {cut in} "YOU'LL BE IN SERIOUS SLAG!" {Paused}
Taiya – {started to jump in happiness} "WE DID IT!"
Blackout – "did? Did what?"
Stephen – {smiled} "We finished each others sentence, we haven't done that
Taiya – "SINCE OUR PARENTS SPLIT."
Megatron – "Is this some kind of human thing?"
Blackout – "I think it is."
Taiya – "EEEEE I AM SOO HAPPY!" {Ran over to Megatron and hugged him} "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANKYOU!"
Megatron – {thought = does not compute} "Frenzy just how much did you change in her head?"
Taiya – "IT'S NOT FRENZY! IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU! You gave my brother back to me and now we can go back to what we used to be like!"
Megatron – {getting uncomfortable because he could not process what was going on picked Taiya up by the back of her shirt and moved her aside} " Do not do that again." {Pointed his finger at Taiya}
Taiya – "Yes sir."
Megatron – {nodded and left the room dragging frenzy and rumble with him. He was very displeased with their performance}

Blackout picked the two up and gave them both a hug. Thinking for once his life was finally coming around. After the nightmare with Dreadcycle and Drone, along with the mess with Shockwave he was happy. He carried them to Stephens's room and Taiya covered his eyes. When the door swung open Taiya lifted her hands over his eyes and to Stephen it was the coolest room ever. It had everything he ever wanted but could not afford. A big plasma hung on the wall, at least 4 different gaming systems, and a tower of games was in one corner alone. He looked over to see a bookshelf with every book, movie, and comic book he loved. Everything was awesome in Stephens's eyes. The coolest posters plastered the walls with the most kick ass accessories. The lights, furniture and tiny details were just awesome. He halted in front of an armory case {if you don't know armory cases, in modern times they are the things you put TV's in}. He opened it and inside was a few weapons and his own pair of skates. Mixmaster being bored made a machine to make them based off of a scan of Taiya's. He tried them on and they fit like a glove. He, Taiya, and blackout had a great afternoon. Taiya and blackout had even gone to the length to get a ton of new clothes for Stephen. Every piece of clothing was marked just for them. Taiya's had 4500X and Stephens 4500Y.

Blackout – "I think things are starting to look up, huh?"
Stephen – "Yup. Right sis?"
Taiya – {hugged her brother} "To tell you the truth this is the happiest I have been since mom died."
Blackout – {feeling less guilty} "Well, I think this calls for energon."
Taiya – "You sure we can eat that stuff?"
Stephen – "I don't think so but how about some ice cream instead?"
Taiya – "I PICK CHOCOLATE!"
Stephen – "Well how about some cookie dough?"

The rest of the cons joined them as they enjoyed the rest of the weekend. Taiya had to go in a few days for her mission. While two humans grew into their new roles as Humanacons a new one was just getting her feet wet. Marie was on her way to moving in and meeting Megatron. Dirge and Thrust said they found PET's. Ramjet was sad because of the fact he could not find one. Flak back at Keys Industries was being repaired from the confrontation with Brawl. He spat and swore about it. His plan was to ruin Brawls happiness. A funeral procession moves in on Washington D.C with the four bodies of the Barton family. McAlister at the podium giving his "grievances" for the loss of such a Colonel. Horns from bagpipes drown out the quiet hum of Planes taking off to take photos of the Middle East before operation Hellion could commence. A plane was far slower then the vessel that moved toward earth. Astrotrain hauling his fellow cons to earth to aid Megatron passes over Sirius Constellation. A banquet hall starts to get made over for the Gala. A president prepares for a speech. Piece by piece the players were set each ready to take on their challenges.
