Apocalypse Game

A/N: To put things in perspective, this story is not going to be one of my better stories... actually its far worse than the next batch I am gonna send in soon. The motto that was used at the end of the last chapter before the Preserver interlude was taken from Three Musketters, since I like the motto. I think that my novels are okay at best, but I don't count on winning an award or anything like that.

Chapter Seventeen

Cybertron

Megatron glanced at the figure standing beside him, he had finally got out of that stupid suspender thingy and had taken to trying to be normal. Artemis Fowl was concentrating on a program that he was writing and he looked exhausted and beat. Megatron didn't normally care about his subjects, but this was a human under his command and he felt that he should at least take some responsibility.

"Kid," sighed Megatron, "Take a break or I'm going to break you into a million pieces."

"Look Megatron," muttered Artemis, "You wanted me to construct a program that could maximize the full potential of your Vehicons and make them more powerful against the Maximal-Organics; right now they are more powerful then your Vehicons and only you are as powerful as them."

"So take a break," ordered Megatron, "Is it going to kill you not to stop working for an hour or two?"

"This is an experimental program mixing Nuclear and Atomic mixtures together," lectured Artemis, "Unless you want them going into battle with full strength and half the power they ususally have, then shut up and let me work... wait I need to see a DNA sample from you."

Megatron picked off a piece of his skin and Artemis took it and started analyizing it, then the thing that Artemis knew was going to happen, happened.

"Match confirmed," mused Artemis, "Finally its complete."

"What is?" asked Megatron.

"I needed a piece of your D.N.A so as I could put a synthesis together so as the cyberwinds wouldn't carry the blast residue back and infect you; if you were to be infected then your systems would start to go offline one by one, not pleasant but effective and the last thing to go offline would be your soul."

"We call it a spark," said Megatron, "So where you come from weapons developement like this is legal right?"

"No," said Artemis, "Where I come from I am a wanted criminal and everybody is out to get me, I am the heir to the vast estate of millions and I used most of that to finance illegal things."

"Great minds think alike," mused Megatron, "I am like you, though I am more inclined to take over Worlds and use the people of the inhabited worlds as my slaves."

"Huhm," said Artemis, "Slave taking, sounds profitable."

"So," said Megatron looking at the vials with interest, "When do we put the program to use?"

"It's already done," said Artemis looking at the computer screens, "All Vehicons have been modified and their programs modified to fit within the spectrum."

"Your human," noted Megatron, "So that means you'll die."

"No," said Artemis taking out a vial and injesting half of it and giving the rest of it to Megs, "What we've just taken is the antidote that keeps us alive, what you've just drunk is different from mine, that's why I drunk half, and you drunk half."

"Right," said Megatron turning to his command post, "Let's get dangerous."

Q's Continum

"So," said Calhoun stepping forward, "You have made the decision and I think that it's a wise decision, but you should realize that your feelings are affecting this."

"No," I said taking it a bit defensivly, "The love betwixt us holds no boundaries over my emotions over this decision, I love her and that's final.... oh and Yoda, stop trying to prob my mind."

Yoda looked up from his meditations and looked a bit shocked but covered it with a rather small lecture, "Look John, get over your macho man position and accept the fact that Urd loves you, if you keep this up your going to get her killed in the battle and the prophecies will no longer hold sway towards you two."

"Say what," asked Urd, "There's a prophecy about us two, a prophecy that shapes wether I live or die?"

"Yes, but its only if you think you have heart," said Yoda, "Cause you have to have heart in order for this to work."

"Yoda, shut up a second," said Wolverine angerly, "Goldwood, do you truly love Urd, do you think that you can love her despite the fact that she's half demon the fact that she might end up leaving you?"

Doctor's Banner and Conner entered at the moment and you could feel the tension in the room as the Hulk and Wolverine were in the same room, it was Banner who came to my rescue, "Logan, shut up," he said, "What right do you have to judge them, who died and made you God?"

"I care about their marriage," said Logan a bit tensely, "I've never known true love, and so I do this sometimes to test lovers to see if they actually mean it, 9 out of 10 times they do, but it's always the first meeting sweethearts who end up leaving each other."

"Look," said Calhoun, "This is gone on far enough, Logan you are out of place doing that, we have matters of business to discuss and we have to do it now and attack soon."

Calhoun and Wolverine looked ready to jump up and fight each other when Galactus walked in the room carrying something that resembled a giant fly.

"We need to make plans and quick," Galactus announced, "I caught this spy thing watching and I don't know how much it knows, but you can rest assured that Meg's is gonna know who's on our side now and who's leading us."

"Where'd it come from?" asked Conners taking it and setting it down on the table as he looked it over."

"The play back showed it coming out of the pond over yonder, and I checked the pond with a power meter," said Galactus, "It's got wormhole capabilities."

"Well then," I said, "Excalicon won't have to construct a portal, we can go through The Looking Glass and deal with matters a lot easier."
