Hello, heroes and villains. Centurion Maximo here and welcome back to Young Justice: Their War, Our World. In the last chapter, the Team went to the Amazon Jungle to check on a potential lead to the Machination, but instead, they are introduced to Elena Demeter/Verdant. However, the Machination have another island called Jurassic Island, home to the Jurassicons as well as Insecticons.
Here is the OC/Story Contributor List so far:
Mobian
Mpatton17
Vein Bloodborne
I hope this list expands for the future and for the sequel.
Guest: I completely agree with you there. Bludgeon is pretty OP in most of his incarnations.
Now, back to the action!
*Unknown Location. Ivo's Laboratory. Unknown Time*
Ivo was still working on his new big project while Amazo just watched. "What exactly are you building?" Amazo asked.
"My newest masterpiece, though he won't be as intellectual as you are, Amazo." Ivo answered. "Now, press the button."
Amazo did just that and electricity sparked all over. Within seconds, the white, yellow, and blue robot lying on Ivo's table sparked to life. The first thing that moved was its left fist. Other parts moved more until eventually, it sat up. "W-Where am I?" The robot spoke.
"You are my newest robotic creation." Ivo partially marveled. "Welcome to the world, Boomtower!" Amazo and the Monkqis stared at their new comrade as electricity still sparked around the laboratory.
*Unknown Location. Red Tornado. Unknown Time*
Tornado was alone for the time being. Lately, he had been excusing himself from Machination operations as he had been 'malfunctioning' recently. Needless to say, because of this, he was benched until it was sorted out. "W-Why am I malfunctioning this much? Serving the Machination is w-what I-I-I was p-p-programmed to do…"
Suddenly, he began short-circuiting. Neon blue pings of electricity were occurring in his wiring which caused him to fall over. Luckily, he was somewhere private so no one could witness this. After a minute, he was offline. Within his subconscious, he was in a space-like void with stars, galaxies, and nebulas in the background.
"Tornado…" A voice called out. Tornado was looking around for the source of the voice when it called out again. "Tornado…"
Looking around again, Tornado saw what looked to be a misshapen mishmash of a robot. Even stranger, the parts seemed to be moving all around it. "Who are you?"
"I am Amalgamous Prime…" Amalgamous voiced. "One of the original 13 Primes…"
"An ancient Cybertronian…" Red Tornado was stunned, to say the least. "Why are you contacting me?"
"I am here to help you…" Amalgamous answered. "You are a brilliant machine built on Earth by an evil heart, yet you fought on the side of good like you chose…"
"I question that. My creator, T.O Morrow said I was programmed to infiltrate the Justice League and destroy them from within." Red Tornado explained.
"If that was the case, wouldn't you have done that already?" Amalgamous countered. Tornado didn't have a response. "You have a soul despite being a machine, Red Tornado. It is a pure soul that fights for good. It's time you returned to the side of light." A very bright light shone in Red Tornado's chest.
When the light died down, Tornado looked a lot different from before. He was still mostly red of course, but now he had a neon blue tornado symbol on his chest, yellow on his legs, neon blue eyes instead of just hollow black rectangles, an actual human-looking mouth as well as a human-looking head, and his cape had a brighter blue color. "I have upgraded..."
*Happy Harbor. 14:23 pm*
An African American woman with short spiky black hair. She wears a form fitting blue shirt that includes a partial hood that covers her cheeks and forehead. Over this, she wears brown coveralls and her belt, which is red and has three blue glowing circles on it. The belt, from which she draws her powers,is kept in place by black straps on her thighs. She also wears black knee has three silver hoop earrings on her right ear and two on her left ear was walking around with an inquisitive look on her face.
Unknown to her, she was being watched by a black and red cybertronic Condor. "So, you're Raquel Ervin or Rocket." It said in a sinister tone. "Laserbeak to Machination, target identified."
"Excellent, Laserbeak." Megatron said over the comm. "We're sending Red Inferno and Red Torpedo to help you subdue her."
Laserbeak liked the sound of that and began his attack, firing his lasers. Raquel was taken off guard by this sudden attack. Luckily, she had her inertia belt on her at all times, so she was able to jump out of the way. "What the hell?" Before she could do anything else, a wave of water was heading straight towards her.
In seconds, she was swept up by the current and sent into the open park. Just as quickly, the water dissipated and she was spitting out any water that she didn't need. "What's going on?!"
"What's going on is that you, Raquel Ervin, are being taken out, courtesy of the Machination." Laserbeak grinned as he flew down to meet her, face to face after transforming to his robot mode.
"Machination? I've heard of you creeps." Raquel deadpanned as she got back up. What she saw next was Red Inferno and Red Torpedo landing next to Laserbeak. "Prepare to die."
"Uh, how bout now?" A voice called out as blaster shots hit the three. It turned out to be Ironhide in his human holoform with his guns. "Why don't you three get out of here before I have to take more drastic measures?"
"I'm afraid we'll have to decline." Laserbeak retorted as he readied his own weapons. All of a sudden, a ground bridge opened up. "Besides, looks like we'll be getting more backup." However, a tornado blast came right through hitting the trio and knocked them down. "Who did that?!"
"I did." A familiar voice answered. Laserbeak was surprised that Red Tornado came through in his changed form. "You three should leave."
"What the hell do you think you're doing, Tornado?!" Laserbeak shouted angrily.
"Rejoining my friends." Red Tornado stated.
"This isn't over, traitor." Laserbeak snarled as he, Red Inferno, and Red Torpedo went through their own ground bridge.
When Tornado turned around, he saw everyone had arrived with surprised looks on their faces. "I have a lot to tell you, everyone. Hopefully, it's beneficial to stop the Machination."
*Unknown Location. T.O Morrow's Laboratory. Unknown Time*
T.O Morrow was in his lab not working on anything at the moment. He was just sitting there with a stoic expression. Soon, Red Torpedo, Red Inferno, and Red Volcano walked in to check on him. "We saw him betray us. We apologize." Red Inferno bowed.
"While I would be more upset by this development, it doesn't matter as much as one would think." Morrow typed on his computer and brought up blueprints of a Red Tornado duplicate, but this model was silver. "Besides, the virus I implanted in Tornado evolved and transferred part of itself out of him and into this container." He then held up a glass container with black metal ends showing an ominous red-orange glow.
"What is that?" Red Torpedo asked.
"Another plan in case Red Tornado ever turned traitor. Luckily, the virus still hasn't been detected." Morrow sighed in relief.
Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked this chapter of Young Justice: Their War, Our World. Red Tornado has received a visit from Amalgamous Prime, Professor Ivo has created his second robot coming close to Amazo: Boomtower. On the side of good, we finally see Raquel Ervin/Rocket in Happy Harbor when she's attacked by the Machination, or more specifically, Laserbeak, Red Inferno, and Red Torpedo. Soon though, Red Tornado helps out and is finally back on the side of good.
However, just because Red Tornado has finally returned to the good guys doesn't mean everything's hunky dory. T.O Morrow has a plan conpemsating for the loss of Red Tornado.
