Chapter 2:
Awake at last
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
A scream rumbled the ground around the small lake in the Canadian cold. The thick layer of ice cracked and bulged. Within seconds, a large figure burst from the ice. The metallic creature settled back onto the embankment.
His open wounds sparked electricity. His faceplates were dented and cracked and one of his optic units was shattered. The past ten years had not been kind to the former conqueror of Earth. His mind was still foggy and he looked as though he would go back into stasis lock at any moment.
He looked around at his surroundings. The few buildings he saw were of human design and seemed uninhabited. He searched his memory banks. All he could see were broken images.
There was a fight. He saw his former self staring back at him.
"Megatron…." he uttered, '"No I am Megatron. I WAS Megatron." More images flashed through his mind. The Autobot, Ratchet, and the traitorous Starscream. He saw them all. Then a blinding flash and the scene changes. He saw himself blasting a group of human tanks. "I survived the crash and then……that Autobot was there. He did this to me."
His mouth tightened as the image of Fortress Maximus ran flashed in his mind. His hand went automatically to the place on his chin where the Headmaster had struck him. The blow had been enough to send him flying towards the lake nearby. He remembered the wet coldness as he went into stasis lock.
He shook his head as the images stopped. Galvatron began running a system diagnostic. He was running at 20% power and needed repairs soon. Apparently his internal repair units had used up most of their power repairing him after the crash of the Ark. They had slowly got him to a point where stasis lock was no longer needed. This had been a long process, as his readings showed his stasis had lasted 10 Earth years.
The former commander got his bearings and locked on a power station within 40 miles. He knew his systems were too taxed to fly so he began to walk to his target. Galvatron looked back and saw the deserted buildings and remembered Fortress Maximus guarding the humans that dwelled there. He raised his fusion cannon and blasted the buildings before continuing.
Galvatron had walked about for about 45 minutes when his internal warnings went off. His reserve power was dropping quickly. Blowing up those buildings had been a huge waste of power. His good optic began to dim.
" I wake up and then life slips away again," Galvatron thought to himself. " Well I guess the Mighty Galvatron isn't as mighty as he thought he was." Galvatron went down to one knee and prepared for oblivion. He knew stasis lock wouldn't save him this time.
"Galvatron, this is no way for a great leader to die," an unfamiliar voice asked. The giant robot looked up and saw Megatron standing before him. But it wasn't Megatron. The giant robot had the body of the former tyrant but under the silver helmet was a human face. More specifically, it was Q's face.
"Who are you?" Galvatron asked in a failing voice. "Is this some cruel trick Unicron installed in me, a demon to greet me at death?"
"No, not at all. Let me introduce myself," the Mega-Q said as he knelt down next to Galvatron. " My name is Q and I have a little deal for you."
"Q, I have been in this position before and things didn't exactly pan out. What could you possibly have to offer me?" Galvatron asked.
"Hmmm, Unicron was not much of a bargainer was he?" Q snapped his metallic fingers and was transformed into his smaller human form complete with a star fleet uniform. "I can assure you Galvatron, I have much more to offer you than that planet eater ever could offer.
" I want you to do something for me. Its rather a small task that shouldn't involve too much effort on your part." Q said.
" You still haven't offered me anything Q. I still have enough power left to blast you into nothingness. Make it good." Galvatron replied. He relished the thought of taking one more life down with him; this Q would be just as well as any.
"I can give you back your power. I can improve your systems many times over. I can make you so strong that you can go back to your own time and destroy Unicron."
"What else?" Galvatron pressed. He was dying, what else did he have to lose.
"I can even cure your insanity. Oh, you would love that. Imagine Galvy, no more haunting images, no more irrational fits, and you'll finally have Ratchets voice out of your head." Q watched as Galvatron thought it over. He knew the Decepticon had been haunted by the accident that had fused him, when he was still Megatron, with the Autobot medic, Ratchet. He also knew that revenge worked well with Galvatron as a motivator.
"What do I have to do Q?" Galvatron's internal warnings went off again. He only had about 10 minutes left.
"All you have to do is fight someone," Q answered. "I would rather like to see how you two measure up against one another."
"A fight? Fine I will do this but do not renege on me Q, you will regret it!"
"I'm sure I will Galvatron," Q replied with a sarcastic tone. He snapped his fingers and Galvatron was surrounded with a bright light. After a few seconds the light faded and where the dying leader once sat, a new figure stood.
It was Galvatron but different. He was smaller and sleeker. He stood about 10 feet tall, half of his former size. His shell had smoother curves and his color had darkened close to black. He felt the power running through his circuits. And finally, the voices in his head had become silent.
" I like this Q, bring me this challenger! Let all who challenge me DIE!!!!!!!!!!" Galvatron let loose a mighty blast from his newly restored fusion cannon. The land in front of him split underneath the blast. Off in the distance, a forest was turned to ash.
Q only smiled.
