All Creatures Great and Small
Chapter 5
Author's Note
After a short brake here's a fifth chapter! Now with another crossover....
' "The world eater"? Is that what you call that thing?' Buffy looked at the screen, it still showed the rouge planet in the corner and the news anchor was stumbling on every other word.
'No Buffy we call that thing Unicron he actually eats planets, he must have found a way around his prison.' Prime wasn't looking at her. His voice was afraid, this giant of power was scared who wasn't.
Another Autobot, this one a mix of white and grey, called Wheeljack ran in. 'Prime, the general is asking to see you. He's got his first team with him.'
Optimus Prime turned around. 'What channel is he calling on?'
'No channel Prime, an earth transport halo-copter just landed out side.' Prime considered his options, the treaty he entered with this contents primary government demanded he told them the truth.
'Sunburst, come with me please. We have to explain what is happening to them as well.'
'Oh fun the Air Force.' Sunburst jumped from the seat onto his shoulder. Together, Prime strode to the entrance.
'How did you know what we were talking about?'
'I'm not sure but I think it's the same way you believe me and the guys about vamps. I think that when we merged we shared thoughts.'
'You believe that we could have the knowledge of each other! How did you come to...'
'...that conclusion? Well the fact that I can suddenly shoot a gun like a pro is one thing and the fact that we aren't talking to each other.'
'Not talking? Prime stopped just before the final door out of the ark. 'telepathic communication! By primus your right.' Smiling he decided to shock her, 'not just a pretty face then?' silently laughing they both wondered what the consequences could be.
Buffy watched them leave. 'Wheeljack, what general?'
'General Hammond. Two years ago we came in contact with a USAF project who's goal was to protect the Earth. We help them defend your planet and in return they keep our presence hidden from your public.'
'The government knows that you exist?' Buffy wondered just how many secret organisations there were.
'I have been told that you two wish to become companions to us. Has any one agreed to join you?'
Buffy smiled 'I talked with Prowl and we decided to partner up with me as a target-master.' She was certain that if he had a "normal" face it would be surprised.
'I talked with the Dinobots, their leader was injured wasn't he?'
'Yes Grimlock took a shot to his head, we've been unable to... Are you saying you want to become a head-master for Grimlock?'
'A huge robotic T-Rex? I can see myself riding on into battle. It would be cool.'
'Well, interesting yes. Grimlock is not one of the worlds greatest thinkers. Are you both sure, neither of those two are the most rounded individuals. Grimlock is as thick as a Cybretronian sludge river and Prowl's hero is that human with the pointed ears on star trek.'
'No problem, Buffy is as logical as any one and I'm just as stupid.' Buffy smiled. She was going to have a lot of fun.
Looking out from the red planet Unicron felt the dormant presence of his nemesis. Changing his form into a robot he breathed in deep from the barely lifeless rock next to him. Then compressing it he started to speak.
By the time Optimus and his new friend had finished Jack didn't know what to do. These guys could wipe the floor with anyone else out there. Carter almost killed herself when she last tried to understand the particle cannon they had lent them. After six days they were finally able to tempt her out of her lab. With blue jello and the doc's needles they kept her out long enough to give the gun back and then get back to the job of saving the planet.
Now they were talking about meta-physics and their gods. Jack was a bout to ask what they could do about it when the sound hit him. The ground moved beneath his feet and his lungs acted like a sounding board. A blast of hot air brought him to his knees and he could feel his ears bleed 'PRIMUS I AM WAITING FOR YOU. TODAY WE FIGHT AGAIN. FACE ME COWARD.' With a dark ness clawing the edge of his vision Jack looked at the two robots they nodded to each other just before he blacked out.
Dawn was glad she was encased in armour. Looking at Prime she didn't need to say anything as neither of them would, or indeed could, back down. Primes gut slid open as Dawn transformed back into the super charged engine. She didn't black out, the light simply over rode her. She became nothing more than an observer within the entity known at Optimus Primus.
Reaching out he felt that every human on the planet had been hurt. Its fragile climate shaken from the blast of particles Unicron had used only his children remained, both Autobots and Decepticons. He turned to The Ark and activated his comm. 'My children this world is defenceless against the greed of your cousins. You must protect the innocents and stop the Decepticons from destroying more of this world.'
Ironhide was he first out. 'You got it Primus. Come on lets bust some Decepti-chops.' A convoy of mismatched cars, trucks, planes, and various other craft streamed out and into town.
Primus smiled behind his face plate, calling this planets energies to aid his own awesome potential he jumped. He jumped far out of the planets atmosphere staring down Unicron. He was no bigger than a flea to the monstrosity. Whit a simple thought he grew, ignoring the laws that bind the universe he grew until he matched Unicron. Face to face with his ancient foe he looked him in the eye. No fear met his gaze just raw confined aggression and hunger. Strangely within him that which was Optimus Prime was awed while that which was Dawn "Sunburst" Summers was calm. Following her example he relaxed into the fight and let the lessons taught by the Earths guardian slayer takeover.
Unicron lashed out, clawing at Primus's eyes. Drifting back wards in zero gravity Unicron missed and faced a right hook. Primus held himself in place with his will as he rammed Unicron into the red world at their feet. With the planets twin moons, Phobos and Demos, in each hand he broke them upon the horned head of Unicron.
Never had Unicron had to fight like this. Primus was cold, his blows calculated and powerful. Primus was stronger than ever before and more skilled. Yet had Unicron even touched him while his own damage was astounding. Calling forth his chain mace he finally was able to score a significant hit. Confident of victory he strode across the heavens towards his foe.
Primus was not ready for the weapon and surprised by it but he was far from defeated. Prime's rifle was part of him. Pulling it out from his back holster he transformed it into a quarter-staff. Caching the chain around the shaft he pulled the monster towards him once again. Tumbling into each other Primus roundhouse kicked Unicron backwards and then yanked him forward like a yo-yo. Not stopping he flattened his hand and pushed it trough the chest plate. Sparks and fires lit up in the thin atmosphere that clinged to both of them.
Pain was Unicon's friend. Pain is what he lived for. Inflicting it, not taking it Wincing at the agony in his chest Unicron pushed against the arm that held his insides. More sparks and fire. The arm broke with a grinding sound. Unicron laughed as he forced it out of himself and floated away.
Over confident, or was he. Primus didn't even feel the pain of reconnecting his elbow. The mystical energies healed him. Primus was the ultimate combination of technology and mystic, organic and metal, mind and spirit. Nothing within this universe was a match for him and Unicron was about to see just why.
Unicron watched in shocked fascination as Primus repaired his arm within a second and simply looked at him.
Through The Key Primus could see every dimension. Every heaven, every hell and every parallel world. With a thought he called forth those other dimensions to help. Instantly he was every where. Each possibility played out a thousand different ways. Each one right there and then. Countless shots from mega sized pulsar cannons. Countless punches, kicks and body slams. For that terrible instant every possible reality existed right there and then and the will of Primus held them all in check.
Buffy had recovered from the sonic blast wave and watched the fight unfold. She didn't know if she wanted Primus to win to save the world or simply to save her sister and friends. Seeing the universe ripped apart she almost fainted, she could feel what had happened from in front of the super computer. The blue, red and green robot stood alone, his doubles sent back and Unicron vaporised and then scattered across the muti-verse. For an instant the robot looked at earth and frowned. Then disappeared.
The Autobots watched from the ground. They didn't need a computer screen to see the battle. The Decepticons were nowhere to be seen and Hound's scan of the under-sea base showed no activity. Deciding that the was no danger they headed back to base.
Primus stood outside the construction site. The almost finished building had been damaged by the environmental chaos that had now subsided. The planet was devastated. Primus could see the movements beneath this peaceful place. Both physically and dimensionally. Deep beneath his feet a dimensional cross roads was about to experience it's first 'Rush Hour' in thousands of millennia. The great evil was ready and ceasing this chance to bring the real daemons back. Deep within his mind Sunburst told him the stories of true daemons, the size, the power. Humanity on it's own could not stop them and neither could the Autobots but together with the slayer and her friends they would be able to stop hell on Earth. Nodding Primus teleported back to the volcano base.
Authors note Well Optimus Primus defeated Unicron but The First is another matter. From here on in I am rewriting season 7. How will Buffy and the Autobots stop The First? Can they? (Is Primus helpless against The First?) time will tell...
