"Get him out of there, and be quick about it!" Gravimus shouted at the Gravicons, who are hauling Jazz out of the shuttle, "I have plans for him!"
"Like what?" Zero-G asked.
"You'll find out in due time." Gravimus answered, "Now throw him in the cell!"
On Gravimus' order, the Gravicons threw Jazz in an empty cell. Upon impact, Jazz began to stir, coming to. The first thing he saw when he opened his Optics was Gravimus.
"Gravimus!" Jazz shouted, "You gutless bastard!"
"Those are rather harsh words." Gravimus nonchalantly retorted.
"Always have to let the goon squad do the dirty work, eh?" Jazz asked, "If you had any guts at all, you'd have faced me one on one! Oh wait… You already did, and you lost!"
"Please, let go of the past," Gravimus said. "Things are different now. Its only a matter of time before I kill you."
"Well I'm right here." Jazz said, "Try me."
"That does not figure into my plans," Gravimus said, "Your death, unlike the death of your little Demicronian friends is one I want to savior. So, you'll just have to wait until I've destroyed them all, then vengeance will be mine!"
""Not if I can help it!" Jazz shouted, lunging towards Gravimus, but when he reached the bars, a sharp electric current ran throughout his body, throwing him back.
"I see you've discovered the secret of the bars." Gravimus said, walking off, "I've got business to attend to, but don't worry Jazz, I'll be back later." Gravimus laughed evilly and closed the door behind him.
"Damn!" Jazz thought to himself, "What is he plotting now? I've got to get out of here!"
Meanwhile, Gravimus has entered Fixxer's lab.
"Fixxer!" Gravimus yelled, "How goes your research?"
"It is complete, Lord Gravimus." Fixxer replied, "I have unlocked the secret of gestalt technology. I am ready when you are."
"Excellent!" Gravimus said, "Get ready Fixxer, I'll go get the Gravicons."
TIME: A few moments earlier. PLACE: Demicron. Many hours have gone by with no sign of Jazz, and Cliffjumper is starting to get worried.
"I don't like this…" Cliffjumper began, "I don't like this one bit. Gravimus and his goons must have done something."
"If they have," Nightwatch said, "Jazz is either dead or on Xiatron, either way, it doesn't look good. Gravimus' desire for vengeance has driven him mad. He will stop at nothing to see Jazz destroyed."
"Are you saying…" Cliffjumper began.
"I doubt Gravimus has killed Jazz," Nightwatch said, "He'll watch him suffer, THEN kill him."
"That's very reassuring, Doc." Cliffjumper said sarcastically.
"The truth hurts, pal," Searchscope chimed in, "Would you rather hear 'Oh, I think he'll be ok, even though he's got an evil megalomaniac hell-bent on his destruction.' You can't sugar coat these things, pal."
"I don't need your color commentary, SearhDOPE!" Cliffjumper angrily yelled.
"Whatever, CliffBLUNDER!" Searchscope angrily replied.
"ENOUGH!" Nightwatch exclaimed, "We have more important things to worry about than your dislike of each other! If we are ever going to get Jazz back, all of us are going to have to work together, even you two. I'm also sure Gravimus will try to destroy Demicron again, so we just can't send all of our forces to Xiatron, so we need to think of another way."
"I just wish I knew what Gravimus was up to…" Cliffjumper said.
TIME: A few moments later. PLACE: Xiatron. Jazz sits in the corner of his cell, think of a way to bust out when Gravimus and the Gravicons walk in.
"Hello again, Jazz," Gravimus began, "How do you like your accommodations? I hope they're quite comfortable. I want you to think of me as a good host."
"Shove it, Gravimus!" Jazz shouted, standing up, "I've had it with you!"
"That's too bad, really," Gravimus said, "Because you'll be seeing a lot more of me."
"Oh, boy! I can hardly contain myself!" Jazz shouted sarcastically.
"Well then," Gravimus said, Allow me to introduce you to the newest member of the Xiatronian army." He then pointed at the Gravicons.
"They've been in your army!" Jazz yelled, "I'm never gonna forget them!"
"No, not the Gravicons, Jazz," Gravimus replied, laughing, I'm talking about…"
Before Gravimus finishes, the Gravicons begin to transform. Not into their vehicle modes, but into something more devastating. Compressor and Collapser transformed into legs, Black Out and Black Hole transformed into arms, an Zero-G transformed into a body and a head. All the parts combined into one huge monstrosity. Jazz stood in awe as he observed the Gravicons transformation.
"GRAVIATOR!" Gravimus shouted, "And now, Graviator will go destroy Demicron and all of its inhabitants. Go, Graviator!"
"It would be my pleasure, Lord Gravimus!" Graviator said, running out.
"Now then, Jazz," After I enjoy the destruction of Demicron, I will come and kill you, so don't get to comfortable." Gravimus began laughing manically as he walked out of the room.
"Dammit!" Jazz shouted as he punched the wall with all his might. The wall dented with the force of his punch. Jazz looked at his fist for a moment and smiled. "I think I'm ready to check out now…" he said.
