The Aftermath pt 2

Dinobot watched as the Predcons left their base to retrieve a stasis pod. Dinobot had followed the Predcons, after they retreated from their attack on the Maximal's base, to retrieve the golden disk. While Megatron, Terrorsaur, Inferno and Scopinok flew off towards the pod, Waspinator stopped and looked up at the moon, "One moon now, planet changed." The wasp- bot buzz when realisation dawned on his face and he cried "Wazzpinator knowz" and zoomed back into the base, Dinobot stared up at the moon and only one thought was in his mind, "Megatron was right", after sneaking passed the base defences using mud as camouflage, Dinobot found Waspinator getting thrown across the floor by the security field around the two golden disks. The ex-Predacon growled as he picked up his former ally by the neck, stared him in the eye and he simply said, "You saw it?" knowing what Dinobot was talking about Waspinator quickly answered, "Yez, one moon now and that meanz..." "...Earth" Dinobot finished, dropping Waspinator to the ground "And the disks give records of the future" Waspinator nodded as he stood up, knowing that knowledge of the future will give the bearer ultimate power, when a idea came to him "Lizard-bot help Wazzpinator?" he ask "Get dizkz together?" "Of course" Dinobot said. "Lizard-bot agreez?" Waspinator said taken a back by the raptor's answer but realisation dawned on Waspinator as Dinobot walked up to him and said "You first" throwing him into the security field, Dinobot grinned with amusement as he picked the golden disks up while Waspinator was electrocuted by the security field. As Waspinator, crushed into a cube, was thrown across the room again he collided with the unconscious form of Tarantulas as Blackarachnia who shortly followed had thrown it into the room. "What's going on here?" Blackarachnia said when she saw Dinobot, who quickly fired his eye lasers and escaped through one of the holes he blasted in the walls, "He has taken the disks, stop him" Tarantulas yelled in Blackarachnia's mind but Blackarachnia said "There's no way I going to get scrap trying to get them" Tarantulas sigh as he gave up and said, as he saw Scopinok's lab, "Never mind... for now. I see the equipment we need."

Rhinox, Cheetor, Airazor and Rattrap examined the stasis pod that landed close to their base. "Good thing this landed were we could see it" Rattrap said as he walked up to the pod while Cheetor said "But one fell in Pred ground as well and who knows how many others are out there" "That's why Tigertron is out searching the planet for changes caused by the aliens" Rhinox said as he read the data on the stasis pod's onboard computer and sighed. "What is it Rhinox?" Airazor asked noticing something troubling the green mech, "This pod's a blank" Rhinox answered "A protoform without a spark" "Let's hope old grape face isn't having any batter luck," Rattrap said trying to raise the morale of the group. Meanwhile somewhere in one of the sectors under Maximal control. Dinobot studied the two disks in his hands, "To be or not to be, that is question" he said quoting the famous writer Shakespeare, "In this disk holds the future, and if it's course is set then my demise is inevitable but if the future can be change than this disk's power is limitless but as they can only be used once and that future may be fiction evermore. I could destroy them but no, that will be the coward's way, I'll weigh my choices and than we'll see if it'll be me or them" and with that Dinobot throws the golden disk under a rock and takes the alien disk with him to the Maximal base.

"Are you nuts?" Rattrap yelled, to the point that he'll pull his hair out if he had any, "Optimus is gone, Dinobot is missing, Stripes is on a world tour and you going into stasis lock? Well why don't we let Megatron in for oil and cookies" Rhinox gave a small chuckle as turned to the panicking Rattrap and said "Can't be avoided, the transwarp explosion opened a hole in the fabric of space and I need to go through before it closes if I hope to achieve in what I'm planning" and went in to stasis lock in the ion transmitter unit he was sitting in. Rattrap sighs and turns to Cheetor, who was grinning, and said "What you looking at? Go on patrol with Airazor." "You mean fly?" Cheetor asked Rattrap, who replied, "No, I mean take a submarine. Of course I mean fly!" as Rattrap watch Cheetor and Airazor fly off he said to himself "Optimus, how did you do it?"

"Slag" Megatron yelled as he gave the Stasis pod a kick, knocking it over and tearing the hatch off to reveal the stasis pod was empty, "It's empty" Terrorsaur being the first one to gather the courage to face his enrage leader ask "Could the Maximal have gotten here first?" "No, It was empty all the time, there was never a protoform in it" Megatron said knowing the Maximal would have brought a few empty stasis pods as well as some blanks. As the Predacons were about to return to base Scopinok stopped and scanned the sky using the enhance vision his optics have, spotting Cheetor and Airazor he yelled "Maximals!" pointing them out to the Predacons.

Airazor searched the ground as she noticed a missile heading right at her and Cheetor, she then yelled, "Cheetor watch out!" as they dodged the missile Cheetor looked back and saw Terrorsaur, Inferno and Scopinok chasing after them, Cheetor and Airazor lost them by flying through the stone pillars of the canyon they where in. As Cheetor watched the Predacons crashed into the pillars, he said to Airazor "Nothing beats stupidity like a cat's speed and cornering skills" both Maximal looked back and saw Megatron, in his T-rex flight mode, smashing his way through the pillars and Airazor said "expert maybe brute strength".

Rattrap was beyond panicking, the computer had just told him that Rhinox's spark was belong surveillance and any interference would kill him and there was a chance he would not come back online in time, he didn't know how it could get any worse. "Rattrap, the Predacons are right behind us" Cheetor said through the comlink with a sigh Rattrap answered "Sit tight, I'll be right there". Just then Dinobot came up on the lift, "Rattrap what is going on here? Sentinel is on full alert" he asked and Rattrap answered "Well Rhinox is shooting stars with his mind and Cheetor and the bird lady are bring a couple of Preds home, of course if the Preds reach the base then Rhinox is one dead battery", Dinobot picked up a shotgun from the armoury and said "Then lets bring the battle to them".

Megatron grinned as he closed in on Airazor and Cheetor; when suddenly he spotted something out of the corner of his eye, it was Rattrap. Rattrap quickly transformed to robot mode and fired a few shots, one of the shots hit Megatron's jet and he landed roughly on the ground, picking him self up, Megatron activated his comlink and yelled into it "Predacons lock on to my coordinates, it's time to finish the Maximal for good".

"It's working, my spark is restored, I live, I LIVE!" Tarantulas yelled as his laughter filled the Predacon's base. Tarantulas then turn to face Blackarachnia and slowly advanced towards her, Blackarachnia quickly took out her gun and said "Take one step closer and you'll be eating cyber venom", Tarantulas' face twisted into an evil grin as he said "I think not" Blackarachnia than fond her hand lowering itself and letting go of the gun while Tarantulas laugh again "Witless widow, I left a physic link between us so I can control you even in this body." Just than Megatron appeared on the lab's computer screen saying, "Megatron to base, respond", "This is Tarantulas" Tarantulas said answering the call while a fully repaired Waspinator climbed out of the C.R tank. "Meet me at these coordinates, it time to end the Beast wars" Megatron said cutting off the transmission. As Waspinator left the base, Tarantulas said to Blackarachnia "Find what you can on Megatron's back up copies of the golden disk" and left, Blackarachnia looked at the computer that hold all of Megatron personal records and saw that it was damaged by one of Dinobot's laser blasts.

The Maximals and Predacons stood facing each other, standing in a row, like a showdown in westerns as they drew their guns and started firing. As the battle raged on, Megatron noticed that the Maximal seemed to be trying to stop the Predacons reaching their base, "Waspinator, Terrorsaur. Go to the Maximal base" he said to the two flyers and grinned as he saw the Maximal fall back to stop them.

After the Maximal shot down Terrorsaur and Waspinator they entered the based to check on Rhinox, "I'm I back?" he asked as he slowly stood up, "The computer said so" Rattrap said "but for a moment I was kinda of worried. So where were you?" Rhinox than answered, "Where all are one" "What?" Rattrap said in disbelief at what Rhinox had just said just as the computer reported the Predacons near the base. Upon hearing this Rattrap said "We all goanna die", "It happens" Rhinox said picking up his chain guns "But miracles happen also". The Maximals fought back as hard as they could but soon they already depleted weapons ran out of ammo and were soon overpowered by the Predacons' firepower while unknown by any of them, a strange surge went through the wires connecting to the ion transmitter and the blank stasis pod.

Rhinox looked at the rising sun as he placed a hand on the gaping hole in his chest and said, "Comes the dawn" and fell down. The Maximal, beaten and damaged, looked up as they saw the Predacon slowly walked towards them, ready to finish them off, "At least we will go out with honour" Dinobot said. Then suddenly a part of the Axalon's wall was blasted open, as the smoke cleared the Predacons stared in shock as standing before them in a Transmetal form was Optimus Primal, "No it can't be" Megatron yelled out, pointing at Primal "You died once Primal and you'll die again", Optimus just stared at Megatron as he said "Well that's just Prime". The battle soon turned in favour of the Maximal.

As the Maximals finished their repairs, they started asking how Optimus was alive, "I can answer that" Rhinox answered "Using the hole in the fabric of space to enter the Matrix, I left an ion trail for Optimus' spark to find the way back here and into the blank protoform". Cheetor than said, "It's good to have you back, Big bot" and Optimus replied, "It's good to be back."

Megatron sat on his throne as he thought to himself. Blackarachnia had told him about Dinobot stealing the Disks and destroyed his back up copies but Megatron knew differently. He knows Blackarachnia most likely destroy the back ups herself after downloading a copy into her data tracks. No matter, he'll find out sooner or later and he'll get the disks back as well.
