Back at the Autobot base...
"Well Cerebros should be just fine. He just needs some time to recharge." Said TAI
"That's good." said X-Brawn
"What are we going to do the next time Metrotitan shows up?" asked Prowl
"I don't know. Before today I'd never even heard of him." said Optimus
"I think that I might have some record of him. Let me check." said TAI
TAI checked all of the files till she found the one on Metrotitan. She then opened it and 3 pictures of him appeared on the screen. One in Robot mode, one in battle station mode, and the last one in city mode.
Sideburn asks, "Well why was this guy made?"
"He was basically made to destroy Fortress Maximus." answered TAI
"But why?" ask X-Brawn
"If I knew the answer to that I'd tell you. But the only one who does is Cerebros." answered TAI
"I may give you what you need to know Autobots." Cerebros said stepping out of the shadows
"Hey Cerebros, you ok?" asked Kit walking over to him
"I am fine Child." he said to Kit
"That's good. So what do you know about Metrotitan?" she asked
"I will upload what I can in the computer" he said as he walked over to the monitor
Cerebros then walked over to the computer and began uploading the data. When he was done TAI began reading what was on the screen.
"Metrotitan was pretty much made to be the 2nd defender, but the program went haywire and he became evil."
"Well that explains a little." said Ultra Magnus
"The Program also affected the drones that came out and attacked you guys."
"But how do we defeat Metrotitan?" X-Brawn said
"Are there any weaknesses to Metrotitan Cerebros?" asked Optimus
"Metrotitan's autonomous units - Metrobomb, MetroDash, and Metroshot - are all relatively vulnerable to attack as compared to Metrotitan himself. In Battle Station mode, Metrotitan is a rather slow-moving vehicle, making him an easy target, but his weaponry usually more than compensates for this."
"Using his anti-matter projectors, however briefly, is tremendously draining for Metrotitan and can leave him nearly energyless."
"Hey didn't he use them during the battle today?" asked Kit
"Yes, I did see those bots in battle." Sideburn said
"Yeah I saw them too, but I meant didn't he use those Anti-matter projectors?" said Kit
"Yes he did. But right now we'll just have to wait for Fort Max to be repaired." said Optimus
Back at the Decepticons' base... They were celebrating and feeding more energon to Metrotitan.
SkyByte on the other hand was standing next to Koji's cage. He was worried that Galvatron might forget about him and the rest of the Predacons.
I don't see what's so special about those Warcons. I bet I can do half of what they do better. He thought to himself
Hellbat came across leaning against the wall in deep thought. He sees SkyByte and they have a chat. It turns out that they both were Philosophers.
Meanwhile while the Decepticons are celebrating and the Autobots are trying to figure out what to do a ship lands in the forest not far from the Autobot HQ. About 5 minutes later Optimus and the Autobots show up. They had gotten word form TAI that a ship was landing away from HQ. A hiss then comes from the ship as the doors open and 6 robot figures come out of the ship. One of them is a pink and white with a well-designed body. Optimus just stood there in awe as he stared at the Bot.
It can't really be her… can it? He thought to himself
"Hello Optimus. "It's been a long time since we last saw each other. You've changed a lot." she said in a smooth voice
"You've changed a lot too. What have you been doing all this time?" asked Optimus
"Well I'm the head of this crew that I brought along with me when I received that SOS on Cybertron." she replied
They then go back to the base and Eltia has Optimus and another bot named Delta follow her to another room so they could have a private chat. She then told Optimus that Delta was her son and his as well.
"He's my... son?" Optimus stammered
Eltia then explains that on Cybertron before he left that they shared a special moment. Optimus just stood there trying to process what he just heard. Finally he asked,
"How old is he?"
"He's about as old as Sideburn. But he has your Wisdom."
"Well that's a relief." he then turned to Delta "Why don't you tell me about yourself.''
"I always wanted to be like you Father" Delta told him
Optimus' eyes then filled with pride.
"Why don't you tell me a little more, your hobbies, what you like to do and what you don't like to do..."
"Well I lead my own team like you and one of my members is a medic."
"Impressive. Anything else?"
"Well we want to help you in your War against Galvatron."
"That's great we can use all the help we can get. But right now we are trying to get one of our human friends back from Galvatron. So right now its more of a rescue mission."
"Well that's our Work." Delta said with a smile underneath the faceplate of his
"We managed to get one of our friends back but the Galvatron managed to get away with the other one." Said Optimus then he explained what had happened
"I see. Well then father, leave that to me and my crew."
"What are you going to do we have no idea where their base might be."
"We wait."
The next day, the Warcons began raiding another power plant getting more energy for Metrotitan.
Kit had been boarding by the Power plant on her way home from the Skate Park and saw them. She pulled out the phone she got from Koji and called the Autobots and told them what was going on.
"Thanks Kit. Now I want you to go and find someplace to hide." said Optimus
After she hung up she heard on of them coming around the building and ran and hid behind a forklift.
She saw that it was Leozack. After he was out of sight she came out from behind the forklift and turned to run in the opposite direction when she came face to face with Steeljaw.
"Oh man, not you again."
Steeljaw then growled at her as she began backing up slowly.
"Hey I'd love to stay and hang out with you, but I gotta run." she then began to run from him
Steeljaw began to advance forward. As she is riding her board away from him she tries to figure out how to lose him. She looks back and sees that he is almost on top of her. Then from out of the Sky Buzzsaw swooped down and screeched.
"Great like I didn't have enough problems!" she exclaimed as she ducked down as Buzzsaw tried to grab her.
She was pushing herself back up when she noticed that Buzzsaw was coming back, she turned around and saw that Steeljaw was about 20 ft from her.
I think I'm in trouble
A jet streams down and transformed into a robot, this was Leozack and he had a smirk on his face.
"Ok now I'm definitely in trouble."
"Going somewhere Human?"
"Yeah, you see I was just heading over to my house to try and wash yours and Galvatron's stench out of my clothes."
He laughs "Pathetic. Metrotitan needs energy and you will provide that" he said while he grabbed her
"Yeah right! What makes you think I'd help that over sized garbage can?" as she struggled to get out of his grip
"You have 2 options, Either give Metrotitan your energy, or Steeljaw will have you for dinner. The choice is yours human"
"Well neither of those choices sounds very appealing. I don't suppose you'll give me a third choice?"
"There's only two"
"I wish the Autobots would hurry up and get here." she whispered to herself
"Sleep" he said as a small gas cloud came from his forearm.
Kit begins coughing. "What the heck is this stuff?" as she covered her mouth with her hands
She then begins to feel tired. "What's going on...why do I… feel… so tired." she manages to say before she goes to sleep
"Well looks like you didn't need to make a choice after all." He said laughing
He motioned for Leozack and Buzzsaw to follow him when Optimus and Ultra Magnus appeared in front of him.
"Well, this a nice surprise. I had been wondering when you would get the guts to face us again. I had begun to think that you were a bunch of cowards." sneered Leozack
"Leozack! Release Kit! She is of no use to you to get the energy you need for Metrotitan!" said Optimus
"I'm afraid your mistaken Prime. She'll be just as useful as that other human we had was. As a matter of fact we were hoping you would show up so we could return him to you. He is of no real use to us right now." He then ordered Buzzsaw to retrieve Koji from Sky-Byte.
While they were waiting for his return Ultra Magnus looked at Kit and noticed that she was knocked out.
"Leozack what did you do to her! I swear if she's harmed in any way I'll…"
"Don't worry she's fine I just had to knock her out with some sleep gas. Ahh here comes Buzzsaw now with your friend."
Buzzsaw flew over Optimus and dropped Koji in his outstretched hands. Optimus looked down and saw that he was unconscious.
"What did you do?" he asked glaring at Leozack
"Why don't you ask him when he wakes up. Well I'd love to stay and chat, but I really need to get back to Galvatron." he said as he flew up into the air
"Oh and don't bother trying to follow me, none of you will be able to keep up with me." he said laughing as he flew away
As they flew away Koji began to stir. Optimus and Ultra Magnus looked down at him with expressions of relief.
"Optimus…Ultra Magnus? What's going on? Where Am I?" he asked
"Don't worry Koji we'll explain when we get back to the base." said Optimus as he and Ultra Magnus took off for the base.
Meanwhile Kit had just woken up lying in cage right next to Galvatron's throne.
"Man…I fell like I just got hit by a truck." she mumbled as she pushed herself up
"Glad to see that you've woken up. I was worried you wouldn't be able to see what you're about to do for us." said a voice
Kit turned and saw Galvatron. She saw that he was grinning at her and she glared at him.
"Like I told your friend Leozack. What makes you think that I'd help you?"
"I'm afraid that you don't have much choice in the matter. You're going to give Metrotitan all of your energy whether you want to or not." he said voice full of maliciousness
"SkyByte! I want you to stand guard of her till I tell you to bring her to Metrotitan."
"Yes sir, Galvatron." he replied
Meanwhile back at the base Koji was explaining to the Autobots what had happened to him.
"After the fight with Metrotitan we went back to the base and Galvatron ordered the Predacons, Decepticons, and Warcons to go and get energy for Metrotitan. Then Scourge and Leozack came up with and idea to have Metrotitan try and drain some energy out of human kids. Since I was there they tried me and managed to get a little but I was already worn out from going a day with no food and water. Before I passed out I heard Galvatron say something like, "get his friend." Then I woke up looking at Optimus."
"How did Metrotitan drain energy out of you?" asked TAI
"I was in a room and wires came out from nowhere and wrapped around me and lifted me up and then began to drain my energy." he replied
"Alright here's what we do I want every Autobot available to search for Galvatron's ship. TAI you too as well. Also keep an eye out on all the major power plants in the world and any other source of energy Galvatron might go for." said Optimus
"We'll help her as well." said TK
"As soon as I've taken Koji home I'll come back and help." said Dr Onishi
"And as soon as I've recovered I'll come and help too." said Koji
Don't worry Kit…We'll get you out of there. Thought TK
Well here you are the end of chapter 4. Sorry it took so long. And yes for all of you who are into my Armada series, I am almost done with the next chapter and have the one after that done as well. Anyway please read and review.
