Chapter 4: Trade and deceit
The scene opens up in the ark with the decepticons all facing Obsidian and Strika
Obsidian: Well Decepticons, I have some bad news for all of you.... You all fit into my little scheme involving the maximals and the trade. Lets just say, I will be using some substitute sparks instead of the autobots, ah how you decepticons do come in handy.
All of a sudden the orange bonds come out and restrain all of the decepticons.
Megatron: What now! I agreed to serve you
Starscream: what!!? you megatron agreed to serve?? Ahahaha pathetic leader you are..... where
Megatron: shutup starscream!.... I swear when I'm out of these bonds..
Skywarp: We give in to your demands.... We are no threat, lets just give up these autobots and get back your friend.
Obsidian: Yes, you did agree didn't you? Now you are serving me, I will be giving your sparks instead of the autobots, sorry I cannot afford to release the autobots, just like you couldn't..... hope the maximals don't destroy you. -then spark extractors emerge and remove all of the Decepticons sparks, and put them in containers.
Obsidian: ahahaha...... the maximals will never know what hit them.
Strika: Obsidian... How do you know the maximals wont pull a trick of their own?
Obsidian: how can they? They would never give a maximal's spark in place of megatron in our control, they know we would destroy it, no maximal would volunteer or ask to have their spark removed so they could be sent to us instead of Megatron, think about it. On the other hand... we just happen to have some decepticons around.......
Strika: Ah, good point. Its not like they have any maximal sparks to give in place of megatron, nor would they expect us to have betrayed the decepticons and remove their sparks.... Much less that we would be able to. However..... they may suspect something, if at the trade only us 2 are present, and none of the decepticons are..... we must also take that into account.
Obsidian: We can figure something out for that, there is one minor problem, though.
Strika: And what is that?
Obsidian: There are 10 autobots, and only 9 decepticons. So we will have to give up one actual autobot, certainly not Optimus Prime, though. I'm thinking..... bumblebee, he was one of the weaker ones.
Strika: ok, so it is settled then.
Obsidian: Indeed it is, I will contract primal and tell him where to meet and when, and the trade shall commence.
Obsidian turns on the monitor, and contacts the maximals
Obsidian: Well hello there, Optimus Primal, we will meet tomorrow at 3 P.M. for the trade
Optimus: Wait. We don't even know if we can yet... its not like we own Megatrons spark, it is kept in a heavily protected and guarded building, the former citadel which he used to rule. Which is now again ruled by the maximal elders, which rule all of Cybertron. It will be up to them, we must get their approval..... before this can take place.
Obsidian: Then you best get it.
Optimus: Well, I will be having a talk with them, just be patient Obsidian, I'm sure they will agree..... its not a good choice, but it's the only one we have.
Obsidian: Allright, contact me once you have completed your task. -Obsidian turns off the monitor, it goes black.- Optimus: God I hate doing this..... -Optimus Primal goes to the citadel-
Guard: why hello, Optimus! Its good to see you!, here to see the elders? Optimus: hello, yes I need to speak with the elders.
Guard: Ill contact them right now
Guard (on radio): Sir, Optimus primal would like to speak with you and the other elders right now, he says its urgent.
Maximal Elder #1: Alright, send him up, he knows where our office is.
Guard: Ok, he agrees, meet him in his office.
Optimus: Thank you.
Guard: No problem
Optimus then enters the citadel, which now looks completely different from the days when megatron owned it, now brighter, and looks like it is operated by maximals, and has none of the stuff it had during megatrons rule, it looks much more beautiful, and looks like it is run by maximals versus vehicons. Optimus walks over to one of the elevators, which will take him up to the highest floor, which contains the office of the elders, where all the important meetings take place. After Optimus boards the elevator, another cybertronian, apparently a guard for the citadel also boards in.
Guard: Why... you're Optimus Primal!, it is such a good honor to meet you, sir!
Optimus: Why thank you, but you don't have to call me sir, Optimus is fine by me.
Guard: I see your going to the top floor, meeting with the elders?
Optimus: yep.
-The elevator then stops on 10th floor-.
Guard: well this is my floor, hope I will see you some day again Optimus. You know you're a real legend and hero to everyone here on cybertron and much appreciated.
Optimus (smiling): That's what heroes do.
-The guard exits the elevator, and it goes up to the 20th floor, the top floor, where Optimus exits the elevator.-
-Optimus walks through the halls, which have blue walls and white doors, and goes over to the last door on the hall, which has a sign on the door that says "Maximal Elders Office".
-Optimus enters the room with the three Maximal Elders, which now rule Cybertron.-
Maximal Elder 1#: Hello Optimus, my old friend. What brings you here?
Optimus: Unfortunately, What I have come to request is far from pleasant or good..... but it is something that must be done..... for the sake of the autobots from the ark crew.
Maximal elder #2: excuse me? What do you mean for the sake of the autobots? What is going on?
Maximal elder #1: yes...... what is going on...... some trouble I presume, Optimus?
Optimus: Elders, Obsidian and Strika have returned as you know, well during their time on prehistoric earth, the same earth the beast wars and the war between the autobots and decepticons took place, they took all of the autobot sparks with them.... And show them as proof, we know they have them in their possession. They have threatened to destroy them if we don't make a trade, a trade which involves us giving them the spark of megatron in exchange for all of the autobots sparks back in our posession. It's the only way I'm afraid.... We cant risk the safety of the autobots
Maximal elder #1: ...... My god, this is..... horrible.
Maximal Elder #2: Primal... I thought only you had the codes to the ark... how did Obsidian do this, cant we infiltrate and take back control of the ark? I really don't want to release Megatron.... There must be another way.
Optimus: Im not really sure exactly, when Megatron took over cybertron.. he had all the files, one of those must have been obviously the ark as it was a important ship in cybertrons histroy. Obsidian and Strika must have seen that code, changed it etc..... that must be how Obsidian has control of the Ark, even though it was Megatron... im not really sure why Megatron would tell Obsidian the code, but he must have, or Obsidian must have looked at it. But he has changed the code.... I cannot access the ark.
Maximal Elder #3: Primal is right, we have no other option......
Maximal Elder #2: We couldn't do something like, give another spark instead?
Maxial Elder #1: are you joking..... we don't have fake sparks at our disposal the only spark we have is Megatrons, we cant just force some citizen to give up his spark..... that would put them in danger, anyway. No we have no choice, thanks for coming us to primal..... as dreaded as it is, we must release Megatron. Ill have some guards bring you his spark... in a container of course, then turn him over to you, Optimus, then you can go make this trade with Obsidian.
Optimus: Thanks.....Hopefully next time we meet will be about a better subject.
Maximal Elder #1: Yes, hopefully so.
Maximal Elder #1 (on radio to a guard): Hello....... Bring me the spark of Megatron up to my office.
Guard: Right away, sir.
-Cut to: Dungeon type area of the citadel.-
We see some guards open a set of double doors, and enter a room. In that room is the spark of megatron, in a containter, in a box like area surrounded a shield forcefield like thing.
Guard 1: man.... I wonder what the elders want with Megatrons spark? His spark has been here ever since..... the war ended. I hope nothing is wrong....
Guard 2: Well whatever it is, they have there reasons, they are the elders after all, and where not paid to ask questions. –The 2nd guard then types in a code on a keypad, which makes the shield forcefield that was surrounding the container which contains Megatrons spark dissapear.- Ill take it up to the elders.
Guard 1: ok
-The guard #2 then heads up the elevator, and heads up to the 20th floor. As he approaches the door, he knocks and one of elders tells him to come in.
Guard 2: Here's the spark, as you asked, sir.
Maximal Elder 1#: Thank you, you may now return to your post. -The guard nods, then exits the room and heads back down.-
Optimus: That is one spark I hoped to never have to feast my eyes on again, but what must be done must be done. Well, goodbye elders
The Elders all nod in agreement, then say goodbye back to him.
With that, Optimus leaves the citadel and returns back to the base with his maximals with the spark
Cheetor: So that's........
Optimus: yes.... This is Megatron I hold in my hands. Might as well just get this done and over with.. I'm going to contact Obsidian now.
-Optimus turns on the monitor, and calls the ark-. Obsidians monitors turn on and his face appears
Obsidian: Why hello my maximal friend, do you bring good news?
Optimus: good for you maybe... yes the elders agreed, I have his spark with me as we speak. –optimus holds the spark in the monitor for Obsidian to see.-
Obsidian: good, and as you know, I have your autobot friends spark with me, so lets trade, meet you at abandoned city in 30 minutes.
30 minutes later at the abandoned city. The city had pretty much nothing, and was very ugly and dark looking, with nothing but old parts, dust, etc. The ark arrives with the villains, and the autobots arrive in their ship.
On the ground the autobots see Obsidian and Strika with the 10 sparks in containers on the ground.
Cheetor: One question.... Where are the decepticons?
Optimus: good question, but I don't think its some attack there planning... so lets just hope this trade goes down attack less.
The maximals then leave their ship and are on the ground, standing across from Obsidian, Strika, and the sparks.
Optimus: Well...... I guess this is it then.
Obsidian then hands 5 of the sparks to the maximals.
Obsidian: Now Megatron, please.
Optimus hands him the spark container. Obsidian then allows the maximals to take the rest of the sparks.
Obsidian: great, see how easy our business was? No tricks, fair trade. Nice doing business with you, primal.
-Optimus then takes the sparks, and boards his ship with the rest of his crew.-
Obsidian brings the container in the ark.
Obsidian: well Megatron, for now you will have to have your predecessor's body. –Obsidian then opens the container and was about to put the spark into the body........ when all of a sudden the spark flew away, out of the ship.
Obsidian: Megatron!!!!!!!!!!!! Come back. –obsidian flies out the ark, chasing after it.-
Obsidian chased after it for a while in Cybertron, but to no avail as he lost it, and it got away.
Obsidian: Im confused......., was that megatron?
Strika: WE may...... never know. At least the maximals will have problems of their own......
Cut to: Maximals base
There are 10 bodies laying on the ground, which look like they are bodies they are going to use to put the sparks in. When the containers open and Optimus tries to push the spark in..... it flies away as well. Optimus started talking to the spark, but it did not listen. But he finally got it in. The other maximals put the the other sparks in bodies and waited for them to awake
Megatron: Damn Obsidian!
Optimus: What the.......
Megatron: No time to talk.....
Strarscream: My body!...... what the hell happened
Rumble: Damn that Obsidian......!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With that, and their powerless bodies, the Decepticons in their crappy bodies, leave the maximals base, heading back to the ark for revenge
One of them however, stayed behind. And spoke
Bumblebee: hi......whats going on.... What happened to my body...?
Optimus: Hi... bumblebee right? Interesting...... 9 of them leave, presumably decepticons yet one of you is a autobot, I don't understand....
Cheetor: I think I got their plan....... They tricked us. Instead of giving us the autobot sparks, they give us the decepticons, however there where only 9 decepticons, and 10 autobots. So they had to give up one real autobot..... which happens to be bumblebee.
Optimus: that would explain their cursing Obsidian....
Cheetor: Exactly..... but that leaves us with some questions. Like how exactly in the heck did Obsidian get control over the decepticons, get their sparks,,,, over power all 9 of them? That's 2 to 9.
Optimus: Yes, it is very odd.... He must have some way of overpowering them, but right now I think that's the least of our worries.
Rattrap: well its good to know with all the crap that's going on..... at least there is tension between obsidian and the decepticons.
Optimus: We are all still enemies...... no matter what.
-Then all of a sudden, the monitor turns on, to see a very angry looking Obsidian.-
Obsidian: what the hell was that optimus!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Optimus: I don't know..... why don't you tell me. I told you no tricks, but yet you still did. However as far as the his spark flying away, I am as clueless as you are but why don't you explain why we mysteriously ended up with decepticon sparks instead of autobots, hm Obsidian? I thought you clearly said no funny stuff, guess you got screwed yourself in the process.
Obsidian: I guess there is no point in lying now, yes we deceived you.... We gave you the decepticons sparks instead of the autobots.... However we now know you no longer hold Megatrons spark, no one does. Despite the fact that he is gone and we didn't get him, we know he is not in danger, with that we still hold the upper-hand. We can still demand control of cybertron, still threaten to destroy all your precious autobot friends, minus one of course. So don't think you've won....
Optimus: After you deceiving us.... How can we trust you?
Obsidian: ahaha that's the point... I don't need you anymore. There is no more deals, I will simply demand to the elders to surrender or watch the autobots perish, what choice will they have? Yes I deceived, but they still have no choice, once again. You lost Megatron, but we did not loose the remaining 9 autobots, don't forget that, primal. Im still in full control.
Maximal Elder #1: I think not, we will converse later. –The elder then turns off the monitor-.
Maximal Elder #2: What the hell are you doing!... he has the autobot sparks
Maximal Elder #1: Relax..... I know what im doing. I don't plan on giving into that asshole...... I have a plan of my own, I hope it works......
Cut to: The ark
Obsidian: that..... that FOOl!!!!!!! How dare he cuts me off! Has he forgotton how much... control and power I have!
Strika: Yes I suppose he is angry, yet stupid to do a thing like that when he has no bargaining chip.
Obsidian: well if he doesn't think im in power........ Id be glad to give him a demonstration of just how much power I have..... and look to my conveyance, I just happen to have nine willing volunteers...... (with that, a evil grin comes across Obsidians Face)
The scene opens up in the ark with the decepticons all facing Obsidian and Strika
