Chapter 22: Bodiless Echoes Part II

I glared at the ground that hovered underneath me. I was watching everything again like I was doing it all, only I wasn't. I could hear the military and all of them behind me.

Go back! Go now or you'll die! I yelled out mentally as I screamed at Unicron.

"Don't try, they can't hear you even if you tried." Unicron said with my own voice that came from my own body.

I gave up. I was corrupted ever since what I had done to my father.

"Had. Past tense."

I snarled. I will get you Unicron! Just you watch!

"Oh, I don't think so." I heard him say as I felt a sudden surge of that dark energy flow through my possessed being.

All I could hear were the screaming of the many men and women as they slowly turned to ash and blew away in the wind.


Kris seemed to glow dark, and then a kind of purple and black ball enveloped her and suddenly exploded, spreading out like a mushroom cloud.

Every witness to this even shielded their eyes or optics as the blinding darkness enveloped the screen and all that there could be seen was black. Then a silhouette, walking, or rather floating serenely towards the base.

Behind it was a far worse trail of destruction.

The arsenal of military personnel were no where to be seen. The reason being a gargantuan crater where Kris had stood in the centre of only moments before had blown all of them to hell, little fires of purple cruelness burning on the slopes of the impact.


I stood inside myself, petrified. 'What have you done?' I yelled out as hot tears flowed down my face.

"They were only in your way. How could I not destroy them in order to fulfil your revenge?" Unicron said evilly as I saw the base on the horizon, along with large figures that had to be the Transformers.

The sound of warping filled my ears and I willed Unicron to turn his head, which surprisingly he did.

"Ah, my little minions, back so soon?" he asked in a voice that struck downright fear into me.

"The mother has disappeared master. We suspect that the Decepticons have got to her first." Demon said.

'Demon! That's where you went to! You filthy little bastard!' I yelled out as he seemed to hear me.

"Master?" he asked as he looked at me weirdly.

"The Wanderer is using her powers to try and break free. Don't worry. Just ignore her sudden outbursts." Unicron said as I felt a stinging pain seem to shock me.

I screamed out in pain. But that didn't seem to faze me. 'What have you done to my mother!' I said yet again as I felt a sudden surge of energy course through my ghostly veins and envelope Demon.

He scream and staggered back, clutching his head. "Master make it stop!" he pleaded as he fell to his knees, Lyra Omega and Axle stepping back in shock.

I was in control of my body again and I could feel Unicron squirm around in my place. Not like before, when I had murdered my dad when Unicron was like just looking over my shoulder, but he was actually in my place.

I smirked as I kept up the attack, anger pushing me to the limits of this startling new power. "You want me to stop? You want me to stop! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY FAMILY!" I screamed at him as energon tears of pain flowed from his optics and onto the ground below him.

"Unicron ordered us to kill your mother! We couldn't find her so we killed the brat!" he cried out as I kept the attack going.

The brat? The brat. Oh my god! They had killed my sister! "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" I yelled out as I hit him with twice the amount of power and he seemed to blow up into a million pieces and blow away in the wind.

After that I finally let my guard down and I collapsed in a heap, tears that I had not noticed coursing down my cheeks as Unicron took over my body once again. "You stupid, stupid girl. You could have put that power to good use!" he yelled as I was hit with the equivalent to the attack I had used on Demon and I was left withering inside my body, my heart, my soul and my mind broken.


Megatron looked on in what he felt as concern. He could see Kris stop suddenly when those three rogue, as he liked to call them, mini-cons appear next to her.

There she stood for what felt like and eternity when a blinding white light, contrasting greatly with the black ball before, envelope Kris and attack Demon, or what seemed to look like Demon.

"Kris." The human female on his shoulder had breathed and stood up. "KRIS!" she screamed out as the human girl did nothing to acknowledge her mothers presence. "Why won't she see me?" she said as she stood her ground.

Megatron notices something when the attack finished. The attack that Kris had used was made of white, or light, energy. Unlike the mini Armageddon that had happen nearly ten minutes earlier, that was made of black, or dark, energy. There must be a reason for it, but to what, he had no idea.

"HIT THE DECK!" Demolisher cried out a silvery glint shone off of Kris.

"What was that?" Hot Shot cried out as a sudden dust trail lifted up around Kris, whom seemed much closer than before, and head directly for Jet Convoy.

That's when they all noticed it. A small beam of a dark arrow looking thing heading directly for the powerlinked Autobot leader and Vice Commander.

He only had time to dodge it.

The dark arrow sailed passed the gargantuan robot and struck itself into a rock formation behind him. "What was that all about?" the Vice part of Convoy said as a sudden blast rocked the two back and into his team mates.

Where the rock formation used to be was complete and utter nothingness. A black swirling vortex like thing spun in the place where the arrow had shot the formation.

While everyone was preoccupied at watching the arrow and where it landed, they never saw the large ball of crackling darkness appear in the possessed girls hands.

"See you on the other side." Unicron said as he/she threw the ball and it hit at the feet of the Transformers, throwing everyone inside the hole.

Kris flew fast over to the vortex and with a snap of her fingers, the vortex closed.

"I think it isn't polite to keep our prisoners waiting? Lyra, Axle, look after our friends while I deliberate with the Wanderer." Unicron said as the two remaining mini-cons bowed and warped out.

"Now Wanderer, I will need all of your power, and I will need it now." He smirked as he sliced his hand down in the air and an opening appeared in the fabric of time and space and he stepped through it.
