Beast Wars*Over Humans Episode Four: To Be or Not To Be Human (Part Two) Rattrap: They what ?! Rinox[crossing his arms]: DoesnÕt surprise me for an instant. Optimus: We have to go after them. [No one moves but Optimus] Optimus: Okay, I guess I was a little harsh on them. Black Arachnia: A little? You yell hell at someone you said you loved like a son, causing them to elope, and you call that litte? I think a little is to hollow for what you pulled, Buster! Optimus: Okay! So I was really harsh on them! DonÕt rub it in! The main point is to find them before Megatron does. IÕm fearful for JennaÕs sake what he might do. .................................................................................................................... **Meanwhile** Megatron: This gets better and better! The human falls in love with the cat and then turns him human! That makes my job a whole lot easier! Inferno! I have a very special, yet simple job for you. Go capture Jenna and Cheetor. DonÕt fire at them. Just threaten. Any damage to her and IÕll have your shell! Go! Inferno: Yes, Royalty! .................................................................................................................... **In another part of Prehistoric Earth** Raphael[gazing at a cave within a waterfall]: This should do nicely. What do you think? Can we make this our home? Jenna: Do you really want to do this? I know they were like family to you. Especially Bigbot ? Raphael: Hey! If they canÕt accept me this way with you, then they canÕt accept me any way! Jenna: I love y... [TheyÕre blasted apart] [Raphael falls under the waterfall unconscience, Jenna lying on the rocks. She picks herself up and looks at the body under the water] Jenna: Raphael! Inferno[hovering beside Raphael, pointing a gun at his head]: The Royalty has need of you, human! Come smoothly or IÕll shoot your dollboy! Jenna: No! DonÕt shoot! IÕll come with you! Inferno: Come on, cutie! [He slaps Raphael over his tail and then gently lifts Jenna and carries her off] Inferno: Anyone ever tell you you have a gourgous body? *buzzes intentionally* Jenna: Not by an insect. Inferno: Ouch. Jenna: You know, I usually squash your kind when I see them! I never knew why, now I guess I do. Inferno: Murderer! I no longer have any taste in you. Jenna[sarcastically]: There is rightchousness in the universe again. .................................................................................................................... [Megatron is listening over the intercom he shares with Inferno. He laughs when he hears the conversation shared between the two] .................................................................................................................... **Later at the Predacon Base** Inferno: I have successfully retrieved the humans, Royalty! [He gently sets Jenna down. Then he slamms Raphael down beside her. Jenna bends down to him and puts his head in her lap and strokes his hair] Jenna: You want me. You have no use for him! Let him go! Megatron: I seem to differ! [He lifts him up with his claws] Jenna: Raphael! NO! DonÕt touch him, Megatron! You mud-brained, scumlover... Megatron: No need for name-calling. [looking at Raphael] Inferno! I told you to bring them gently! Not shoot them! Inferno: I thought you meant the girl. IÕm sorry royalty! It will never happen again! Megatron: My hubblest appologies, human. Jenna[harshly]: My name is Jenna. Megatron: ItÕs okay, Jenna. I will not harm you. I know you may have heard some things about me from the Maximals. That doesnÕt mean that they are true. I want to help you. Jenna: IÕm listening. Megatron: I have heard about how Cheetor has changed to.. what do you call him? Jenna: Raphael. Megatron: Nice name. Anyway, I can help you two be together. Jenna: How? Megatron: If he can change into human, then perhaps you can become a transmetal, too. Make everyone happy. Jenna:[excited] A Maximal? Megatron: ThereÕs the catch! If I help you, and you become a transmetal to be with Cheetor, you have to stay with me, as a Predacon. Jenna: No deal. If IÕm a Predacon, and CheetorÕs a Maximal, we wonÕt be any better off. Megatron: Would you rather be together in fire or apart in sunshine? Jenna: Together in fire. Megatron: IÕm glad your mind makes itself up so fast. But IÕm afraid that was the wrong answer! [He holds Raphael like heÕs about to shoot him] Jenna: Okay, okay! IÕll do it. Megatron: Very good. If you would be so kind as to step in here. [She lays down in a stacus pod connected to MegatronÕs giant computer] This wonÕt hurt a bit. [He presses a few buttons and a light comes from the stacus pod] [Raphael starts to wake up and sees Jenna in the pod] Raphael: Jenna! No! Megatron: To late, Maximal! SheÕs already mine! Computer voice: Scanning for lifeform. Lifeform not found. Megatron: Quick! Help me fly her pod away from here to find a lifeform! Raphael: Why? This is your fault! Megatron: Would you rather have her spark deactivate and die before it even lives?! Raphael: Okay, IÕll help you. For Jenna. [They fly her outside] Computer: Scanning for lifeform. Lifeform found. Raphael: What is it? [Jenna comes out] Megatron[snorting]: A horse! How typical! Raphael: Leave her alone! Jenna[slowly waking up]: Cheetor? Raphael: Jenna, ItÕs me, Raphael. Jenna[looking at him lovingly]: What am I? Raphael: A grand, magnificent creature. A horse, with wings! Jenna: Pick me out a name. Raphael: Pegasus. Pegasus: Now we can be together. Raphael: Just about. [Raphael kisses Pegasus, pulling her into his arms] Megatron: Yuck! [Raphael becomes a light] Computer: Scanning for lifeform. Lifeform found. [Raphael turns back into Cheetor] Cheetor: My old body back. But now itÕs even better! Because I can now be with you! [He leans in to kiss her again, but a shadow falls on the couple] Megatron: Well, isnÕt this perfect. Now I have the newest Transmetal 2! Cheetor: What? Megatron: Look at her code! [itÕs the Predacon symbol] Cheetor: Pegasus! WhyÕd you do it? Pegasus: You said it wasnÕt forever. You said that you could switch from Predacon to Maximal. Megatron: Do you think IÕd give you that ability? I personally made my machine so that you canÕt switch. Your choice is final. Pegasus[getting upset]: Cheetor? Cheetor: Do you think IÕd leave you here with this slimeball? Megatron: You will, or else she doesnÕt get to see half a cycle as a bot. [He points his canon at her, ready to fire] Pegasus[whispering]: Go get help. IÕll be fine. Optimus will know what to do. [out loud] I love you. Cheetor: And I, you. You may have won this battle, Megatron, but IÕll be back. [He leaves] Megatron: Why, wasnÕt that fun. Now, letÕs see what that little mind of yours can tell about you old raceÕs machines! [Pegasus turns to him and punches him smartly on the face] Pegasus: I may have the Predacon seal, but I will always have the heart of a Maximal! [Megatron shoots her in the chest and then puts his gun straight to her head] Megatron: Try that again! I dare you! Pegasus[weakly]: I will do what you ask. Megatron: Good. Now, letÕs get to work. .................................................................................................................... **Maximal Base** Optimus: Any sign of them? Silverbolt: None. Our scanners canÕt trace them, remember. [Cheetor comes flying from the horizon, suddenly appearing on their scanners] Cheetor: Optimus, Silverbolt! Help! Optimus: Cheetor! YouÕre back! This is great! Cheetor: Not so great! Megatron has Pegasus and sheÕs in real danger! Optimus: Pegasus? WhoÕs Pegasus? WhereÕs Jenna? Cheetor: Jenna IS Pegasus! Jenna gave up her humanity and let Megatron turn her into a Transmetal2. She helped me come back as a transmetal, and now sheÕs stuck with Megatron. I swear, if he so much lays a finger on her, IÕm gonna... Optimus: Okay, Cheetor, weÕll get her back, but we canÕt rush this. WeÕll need to think this through. Black Arachnia: HeÕs right. ThereÕs nothing we can do for her now, kid. WeÕll think about this in the morning. LetÕs get our rest. SheÕll be fine until then. Cheetor: Okay. I canÕt believe she did that, though. Optimus: Come, on, buddy. You need your rest. .................................................................................................................... **Later** [Rattrap enters CheetorÕs chambers] Rattrap: Hey, spots. You asleep? Cheetor: I canÕt sleep knowing sheÕs somewhere with that jerk! Makes me want to gag my spark up to think of him touching her! Rattrap: If I know Jenna, I mean Pegasus, I think she can take care of herself. Cheetor: She let herself become a Predacon for me. I canÕt believe she gave it all up, for me. Rattrap: DidnÕt you make the same choice becoming Raphael. I mean, you must have wanted that to happen, right? Cheetor: Well, yeah. I really love her, Rattrap. Rattrap: WeÕll get her back, Spots. I swear that to you. .................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................
