And I'm back with the next chapter of Meta-Verse. In this chapter, the Cube is revealed to be the Allspark, and that Megatron's bodyguard, Lockdown, is hunting down the Cube. It's time we get things started here.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic.
Meta-Verse Department Agency
In the Agency's relic room, we see multiple relics from past years, including treasures as well. But we focus on some of the Agents storing the Allspark inside a glass container.
"You can't put it here." Periwinkle said.
"Then what else can we do?" Bo Dennis asked.
"It's a bad idea. Lockdown will locate this place easily enough." Periwinkle said.
"Not unless we put security down here." Katy Caterpillar said.
"That's also a bad idea." Periwinkle said.
"Why do you think that?" Katy asked.
"Because Lockdown is a special type of Decepticon that he'll hunt down people more easily then other Decepticons." Periwinkle said.
"A special upgrade?" Katy asked.
"Kind of." Periwinkle said.
"Peri, don't worry. We'll protect the Cube. For now, just rest." Tsumiki Miniwa said.
Periwinkle sighed. "Alright. But I warned you."
"We know." Tsumiki said.
Periwinkle then leaves the room.
"Are you sure? I might be trusting Peri on this." Koko Caterpillar said.
"It'll be fine. Don't worry." Katy said.
"If you say so." Koko said.
Katy sighed. "That was a search."
"Quite a search you did. Even though I don't know the Cube's full potential." Bo said.
"I know." Tsumiki looks at the Cube.
They don't even know what powers it has, except for Periwinkle.

Meta-Verse Department Agency
In the meeting room, Kyubey has been looking through histories of the Cube, but couldn't find anything. He sighed.
"Any luck?" Paiman came in.
Kyubey shook his head. "I don't know what's the deal here."
"The Allspark is nothing that anyone could have ever seen before."
"I know. But this is different."
"I can tell."
"I need to know what powers that Cube has. How are we gonna know if there's nothing to it?"
"Sir, we already saw things that we couldn't know already. Even we don't know what powers everything has."
"That's all?"
"Yes, sir."
Kyubey sighed. "See who knows about the Cube."
"Yes, sir." Paiman leaves the room.
"This is gonna take a while." Kyubey said.
In the cafeteria, we see Remon Yamano thinking about something.
"Something is wrong. I can tell." Bee no. 5344 flew to her.
"Well, it's not that something is wrong. But, there is some sort of secret that Peri is hiding." Remon said.
"Like what?" 5344 landed and sat on Remon's right shoulder.
"He knows something about the Cube. And yet, he isn't gonna tell us a thing."
"You think he's hiding something for a reason?"
"I don't know. But it's pissing me off. And I need to know why."
5344 nodded. "If you say so."
"He said it created Cybertron, but how though? That's what he's hiding."
"He's hiding stuff from you?" A female came to them.
This female has brown short hair and blue eyes. She wears a red long-sleeve shirt, black mini-skirt and black dress shoes. This is Aika Sumeragi.
"Aika Sumeragi. What are you doing here?" Remon asked.
"Heard you said that Periwinkle is hiding something. You want me to confront him?" Aika said.
"And what would that do?" 5344 asked.
Aika is shocked to see a bee on Remon's shoulder. "Does she sting?"
"I don't sting." 5344 answered.
Aika nodded. "Okay then. Anyways. If I confront him, then maybe he'll spit something out about the Allspark."
"That might be an idea. Who knows." Remon said.
"I might come with you, just in case." 5344 said.
"My tiny little backup. Yeah, sure. That'll be interesting." Aika said.
"Then it settled." 5344 said.
"You take care of yourself, my little companion." Remon said.
5344 nodded, then flew to Aika, to which she got on the agent's left shoulder.
"Is there anything else that needs to be addressed?" Aika asked.
"No. Just that. And he keeps talking about Lockdown. I need to know what type of Decepticon he is." Remon said.
"Right away, ma'am." Aika then leaves with 5344.
Remon sighed. "I never had it this hard before."
In Chika's quarters, Chika Itou is looking through her digital map, trying to see if there is a better hiding spot for the Allspark so no Decepticon will get it. A Tribble cuddles onto Chika.
Matsuri Sakuragi came in, with a glass of water in hand. "Thought you needed a refresher." She puts it on the table where the digital map is.
"Thanks, Matsuri." Chika grabs the glass and drank from it.
"Katy-sensei said that she sent guards to guard the Allspark."
"Who will those be?"
"Tsukuru Kagaku and Mikoto Misaka."
"Tsukuru? Does Katy-sensei even trust that girl?"
"Maybe."
"I saw her blew up stuff once."
Sheldon Cooper came in. "More Tribbles." He opened the cage and four Tribbles came out. "Good day." He left the room.
"I don't need more." Chika gets irritated.
"I think they're cute." Matsuri said.
The Tribble made a noise in agreement.
"Still, they're annoying."
"Where do you think of putting the Cube?"
"Somewhere in Egypt, it has places there where we can hide it easily enough."
Matsuri nodded. "I see. Could I tell Katy-sensei?"
"Yes. You should."
"Alright then." Matsuri then leaves the room.
Chika looks at the digital map of Egypt, then sighed.
"The Cube created Cybertron years ago."
Chika turns around and sees the boy and the girl. "What does it do, exactly?"
"The Cube creates the Autobots and the Decepticons. That's how they're born." The girl said.
"You mean, it can bring machinery to life?" Chika asked.
"It does." The boy said.
"And if Megatron gets his hands on the Allspark, Earth will be extinct, and Cybertron will be reborn." The girl said.
"Who are you two?" Chika asked.
"We watched over the Winged Beings, including Misuzu Kamio." The boy said.
"But our names are a mystery." The girl said.
"Mystery?" Chika asked.
The boy and girl nodded.
"Destroy the Allspark, before it's too late." The boy said.
"You have no more time left." The girl said.
They then left the room.
"What was that about?" Chika wonders.
Katy leaves the relic room, and into the hallway, but runs into the boy and the girl. "You're the ones that watched over Misuzu, aren't you?"
"And how can you tell?" The girl asked.
"Because I've been hearing news about you two." Katy answered.
"Someone must have been following us all that time." The boy said.
"How sad. We didn't kept secret to ourselves." The girl said.
"Why are you here?" Katy asked.
The girl crouches down and picks Katy up, then gets up. "The Allspark must be destroyed."
"Due to what?" Katy asked.
"The Decepticons are drawing nearer to the Cube any minute now. It must be destroyed, before Earth is extinct." The boy said.
"Great. Destroying the Cube. Don't know how to do that." Katy said.
"It creates life in the machinery." The girl said.
"Good to know. Are they gonna destroy us?" Katy asked.
"Eventually." The boy said.
"Alright then. If that's what you say." Katy said.
The girl then puts Katy down, then gets up. "You have a duty to attend to."
The children then left, then disappeared in clouds.
"Now what?" Katy asked.
Periwinkle is in the meeting room, where it is deserted at the moment. He looks through the files, to see what the Agents has been through so far.
"Those files are not to be touched."
Periwinkle turns and sees a female standing at the doorway.
This female has light pinkish white hair and light blue eyes. She wears black metal protection goggles, dark brown metal suit, long black gloves, long black boots and on the right bottom leg is a tank wheel that is attached to the metal leg. This is Gourai.
"I know my deal. Just look at this. Seeming like this might be an idea you came up with. How many of these people have been through this so far, before things got worse?" Periwinkle said, sadistically.
"Those files are not to be touched." Gourai warned.
"Go ahead. Say anything you want." Periwinkle has a sadistic smile on him, and then he brought out his wand and blasts out dark sparks.
Gourai dodges this, then brings out her cannon and shoots at the magician cat.
He flew to the air. "You can't try to hurt me. No one does." He flew to Gourai and they both exit the room, then Periwinkle thrown her to the wall.
"What's going on?" Ana Coppola saw this.
"Displeasure on yourself." Periwinkle laughed, evilly.
"Oh boy, he got possessed." Ana said.
Periwinkle flew to Ana, but the English girl managed to slip through the floor and into the entrance of the Agency.
"What's going on?" Kiki Caterpillar is at the doors.
"It's Periwinkle. He got possessed." Ana said.
"By who?"
"I'm not sure."
Kiki's face got serious. "It might get bad."
"What does that mean?"
"I think I know who's doing it."
Break
Periwinkle reaches to Class A and finds Konata Izumi sleeping on her desk. He gets out his wand, and moves slowly to Konata, then, he's about to cast a spell that would destroy Konata for good.
"I don't do that if I were you."
Periwinkle turns and sees Mio Naganohara standing at the entrance of Class A.
"What are you about to do to Konata?" Mio asked.
"Well, you see, I want no witnesses. As I now have plans to contact Lockdown to get the Allspark from you all." Periwinkle said.
"On who's orders?" Mio asked.
"On the Grimleal's orders." Periwinkle said.
"What's the Grimleal?" Mio asked.
"Grima's followers." Periwinkle said.
"Gargantos. Dammit. It's her again." Mio said.
Periwinkle prepares her wand and walks towards Mio. "There's more then just Gargantos. I have been ordered by King Gangrel to get the Allspark and give it to Megatron. Well, to Lockdown."
"There's a king of the Grimleal?" Mio is shocked of this revelation.
"There is, yes." Periwinkle said.
Mio controls a pencil, and grabs it.
"That isn't gonna save you." Periwinkle said.
"Oh trust me, it might." Mio said.
Periwinkle's face gets darker, then he shoots dark bolts from his wand. Mio dodged the attack and it hits the wall.
This jolted Konata up. "What the hell was that?!"
Periwinkle flew to Konata and points his wand at her. "Prepare to die."
"Periwinkle, don't do this." Konata said.
"On the commands of King Gangrel, give me the Allspark." Periwinkle commanded.
"No." Konata said.
"That's it." Periwinkle is about to throw a blast at Konata, but got covered in vines. "What? But how?!"
"Your reign of terror is over, Gangrel." Kiki came in, with Ana.
"Oh. I'm not Gangrel. I'm Aversa." Periwinkle said.
"Aversa. I should have known." Kiki said.
"How many of these Grimleal bitches are there?" Mio asked.
"A whole cult. You didn't realized that yet?" Periwinkle said, coldly.
"You're a bitch." Konata said.
Periwinkle snickered. "That seem to have came out of your mouth just fine."
Katy came into the room, with Kyubey and Paiman.
"More visitors?" Periwinkle said.
"What in the world are you doing?" Katy asked.
"I am following Gangrel's orders." Periwinkle said.
"Well his orders are history." Koko Caterpillar came into the room.
"Really? Take a good guess at that then." Periwinkle shoots a dark blast out of his wand, to which Koko dodged.
"He's really ticked, is he?" Katy asked.
"That's not Peri. That's Aversa. A member of the Grimleal, royal cult of Grima." Koko said.
"He has followers?" Katy asked.
Koko nodded.
"You should have told me this first. So Gargantos is not the only one then. Is Gargantos a Grimleal?" Katy asked.
"She is, yes." Koko answered.
"Ai yai yai." Katy said.
"Give me the Allspark, now." Periwinkle said, coldly. Then, he got knocked out by a female.
The female came down to the ground. This female has blue eyes and gray eyes. She wears a white one-piece swimsuit, white and black gloves, white, black and red metal wings and black and purple boots. This is Qiqi.
"Who in the world are you?" Konata asked.
"I'm Qiqi. The female robot."
"Never saw you before." Konata said.
Qiqi shook her head.
"Well, he's passed out. What do we do?" Katy asked.
"We take him to sick bay." Kiki suggested.
Katy nodded.
At sick bay, we see the team in there, with Pururu checking his condition. A female came into the room.
This female has blue hair and blue eyes. She wears a pink sleeveless dress, white short-sleeve coat and pink sandals. This is Mimori.
"Heard what happened. Is he alright?" Mimori asked.
"That's what we're trying to figure out right now." Katy said.
"This might work." Pururu gave Periwinkle a dose of a poison cure, to get rid of a possession.
Periwinkle jolts up, then panted heavily.
"That gave me a shock." Konata said.
"Are you okay?" Kiki asked.
"She's the one that made me almost kill my friends. It was Aversa." Periwinkle said.
"So she's the one that almost killed Blue." Konata said.
"And everyone else. Yes." Periwinkle said.
"So what now?" Kiki asked.
"Since we know the truth, we need to keep him away from Aversa as good as possible. Because she might get after Peri again." Bo said.
"This is my fault." Periwinkle said.
"It's not your fault. You didn't know." Mimori said.
"Mimori." Periwinkle said.
"Guys!" A male ran into the room.
This male wears a white hood with a pink ball-shape object on top that seems to have covered his face, except for his black eyes, white bodysuit, sleeveless shirt, pink gloves and pink shoes. This is White Bomberman.
"What is it?" Konata asked.
"Looks like a Decepticon is here." Bomberman said.
"Is it Lockdown?" Katy asked.
"I can't tell." Bomberman said.
"Then we have no time to waste. Looks like he knows we're here." Paiman said.
"How did he managed to locate the Agency?" Pururu asked.
"I have no idea. But I have a feeling he knew from the start where the Allspark is." Konata said.
"Then we go down there and stop him." Periwinkle said.
Konata nodded. "Who's out there right now?"
"Only Boota and Ruthkania." Bomberman replied.
"Then we meet the both of them then." Konata said.
Bomberman nodded.
Just a few feet away from the Agency, we see a creature and a female preparing themselves to face Lockdown.
The creature has brown fur and has black eyes and has a star-shape at his rear end and has a pink pig tail. This is Boota, a pig-mole.
The female has short blue hair with her bangs splitting in the middle and lighter blue eyes. She wears a short dark-blue and white long-sleeve jacket over a dark-blue long-sleeve mini dress with white sleeves, white stockings and dark-blue heeled shoes. This is Ruthkania Nye Pardomshita.
Boota readies his Spiral Power, while Ruthkania readies her sword of light. A car rolled to them, and stopped a few inches in front of them, then it transforms into a Decepticon.
This Decepticon is metal gray and has green eyes. This is Lockdown.
"Leave this place!" Ruthkania demanded.
"Not without the Allspark. Megatron wants it to put your planet into extinction. And Cybertron will be formed, once again." Lockdown said.
"If that's how it's gonna go." Boota then uses his Spiral Powers to attack Lockdown.
The Decepticon bounty hunter dodged, then his face turned into a machine gun, and fires it at the duo. They got pushed by the force of the blast. The Meta-Verse Agents came to the duo, alongside Lain Iwakura and Tomoko Kuroki.
"What the hell is that?" Konata asked.
"That's Lockdown." Periwinkle said.
Lockdown's face then turns back to normal. "I heard of you through Brainiac. You're the proclaimed Konata Izumi."
"Well, I didn't know you work for him." Konata said.
"I don't. Only for Megatron." Lockdown said.
"What does Megatron want with the Cube, anyways?" Katy asked.
"Extinction. And revival of our planet." Lockdown answered.
"He's gonna destroy the earth with the Cube, isn't he?" Konata asked.
"Yes." Lockdown said.
"That isn't gonna happen." Ruthkania charged at Lockdown, then stabs her sword of light onto Lockdown's leg.
Lockdown felt pain and he collapsed to the ground on one knee. Then his hand transforms into a hook and he swipes at Ruthkania, but she jumped and dodged the hook.
"We need to get him away from the Cube." Periwinkle said.
"I know. But how?" Konata thinks.
Lockdown gets up, then ran to Konata, with hook in hand. He was about to kill Konata, but vines pushed the otaku out of the way, with the hook only slicing the vines. "Damn."
"You have to think better than that." Kiki said.
"You're making a fool out of me. And that's despicable." Lockdown said.
"Trust me, you're a fool already." Kiki said.
"You insolent worm!" Lockdown ran to Kiki, then almost stepped on her, but Gokicha came out of nowhere and pushes Kiki out of the way.
"Hikari no chikara!" Gokicha's hand brightens and she slams her fist on the bottom of Lockdown's foot, sending the Decepticon bounty hunter flying, then he slams to the ground.
"That's my sister alright!" Chaba came to Gokicha.
"When did you came in?" Gokicha asked.
"Thought you need some help." Chaba said.
Lockdown gets up. "We ain't done yet."
Drones then came from the sky, flying to the Agency.
"They're after the Cube." Katy said.
Periwinkle disappears.
"Where did he go?" Katy asked.
"He might be getting to the Cube." Konata said.
"He's not doing this alone." Chika ran back to the Agency.
"That's gonna get you killed." Paiman said.
"Leave it." Kyubey said.
Paiman sighed.
Periwinkle appears in the relic room and goes to the Allspark, then prepares his wand, ready for when the drones strike. Chika is running into the Agency, then she ran to get to the relic room.
"Needed a hand?" Hikaru Shiina came to her.
"Hikaru!" Chika said.
"Hold on." Hikaru goes to Chika, and they both teleported, getting to the relic room.
"What are you doing?!" Periwinkle asked, clearly getting mad.
"You're not doing this alone." Chika said.
"Just let me defend it myself." Periwinkle said.
Suddenly, the drones came in and attacked the place.
"They're here." Hikaru readies her extendable arm.
"I'm not getting you into this mess!" Periwinkle said.
"We're here to help you, and that's that." Chika readies her cards.
Periwinkle sighed. "Fine."
The drones flies to the Cube, but Hikaru extends her arm and she killed some of the drones. Chika throws the cards at the drones, and some of them grabbed the drones and sent them flying to the ground. Periwinkle shoots out a light blast from her wand, blasting the drones. Then, the Medabot came in, alongside Yotsuba Koiwai.
"Yotsuba?" Chika asked.
"We're here to help to." Yotsuba turns to the Medabot. "Let's go, Taimona."
Taimona nodded, then Yotsuba got inside the Medabot, then the Medabot ran and fights off the drones.
"Well, you needed help." Chika said.
"Just shut up." Periwinkle said.
Taimona defeated every last of the drones.
"Is that every of them?" Yotsuba asked.
"Maybe." Periwinkle is not sure himself.
Outside, we see Lockdown noticing that his drones are defeated. "Blast!"
"Looks like it's over." Katy said.
"Don't be too sure. I will return." Lockdown then turns back into a car, then leave.
"We won't be seeing the last of him." Tsumiki said.
"No." Konata said.
"What now?" Mimori asked.
"We need to discuss things." Konata said.
Inside the meeting room, minutes later, we see Chika showing them the digital map of Egypt.
"So this is the hiding spot you're looking for?" Katy asked.
Chika nodded. "I thought one of the pyramids in Egypt might hide the Cube well."
"Well that's easy." Dororo came to them. "And I thought I did Periwinkle a favor."
"Looks like you did not, unfortunately." Periwinkle said.
"That's sad to hear." Dororo said.
Periwinkle nodded, then sighed. "It is how it is."
"So we search for a hiding place for the Allspark in Egypt." Katy said.
"Yes. But we might need to find someone to show us the way." Chika said.
"Show us which pyramid might work for hiding the thing?" Konata asked.
Chika nodded.
"What do you say?" Kyubey asked.
Paiman shrugged. "I'll deal with it."
"That settled then. We find someone to help us get to the hiding spot for the Cube." Tsumiki said.
"And who will that be?" Raggedy Ann came into the room, with one of her eyes looking sloppy.
"What happened to you?" Paiman asked.
"I was tired." Ann said.
"We were attacked by Lockdown." Katy said.
"I already saw that." Ann said.
"Now we're coming up with a plan to hide the Allspark." Konata said.
"Not easy, is it?" Ann asked.
"No." Konata said.
"I'm sorry if I revealed the Cube too early." Periwinkle said.
"It wouldn't change things if we didn't know." Katy said.
"I think I understand that now." Periwinkle looks at the floor, then sighed.
"Who do you think we need to find?" Ann asked.
"Probably Tina Sprout. She might know of a good hiding spot." Dororo said.
"Who's Tina Sprout?" Konata asked.
"An android." Dororo said.
"Where is she at?" Konata asked.
"That I don't know." Dororo said.

Unknown room
We see a table with circuits and cords. One of the cords is sticking out, but we saw that it is connected to a robot. "They wanted peace. In the world. All they see in the sky, is hope." He grabs the cord, and disconnects himself from the cord. "I'll take that from them first." The robot turns around, revealing to have red eyes.
Next time: The Fight Against Ultron
And that's a wrap! Next time, the Meta-Verse Agents are now on a mission to search for Tina Sprout, but they will face an enemy far more greater then anything they've faced before.
See you all in the next chapter of Meta-Verse.
