Hello again, folks! Sorry about the wait, but I've been… busy. Anyhow, when we last left off, Optimus Primal had just rushed in to the Titans' aid with a powerful right hook to one of the megadroids. Now, let's continue.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Beast Wars or Teen Titans

The large droid went flying about 30 feet from Optimus' heavy blow. The Teen Titans just stood in amazement, gazing at the awesome figure that had just saved them. Beast Boy, however, for some reason, had a smile on his face, and the only thought in his head was 'It's him…'. "Your fight with them is done" Optimus said. "Now leave peacefully or face the consequences". "I think I'd rather stay" said a mysterious dark voice, and Optimus saw all the Titans stiffen slightly at the voice, all of them getting into fighting stance.

Out from behind the drone army came Slade. "Ah, I see the Titans have another ally. No matter, for you will be destroyed with the rest of them" "I don't exactly know who all of you are," said Optimus, "but from what I've seen, I know that these 'Titans' fight on the side of good. Therefore, it is my duty to aid them". "Hold on," said Robin. "Who exactly are you?"

"There are times for explanation later. Right now I think we have our hands full enough. I don't know who this guy is, but my power sensors are going off the scale. I advise that we team up". Slade chuckled. "And how exactly are you going to make a difference. Despite your towering size, you will all be destroyed". "Who says I'm alone?" said Optimus with a cocky grin on his face. He then shouted "All units, reveal yourselves!"

Almost instantly, the other five Maximals jumped out from behind the nearby building, standing in front of the group, ready to fight. "Well, well" said Slade, "This may be interesting after all. Drones, megadroids, destroy them!" Slade then vanished in a pillar of fire, and his drones began to advance. Before the Titans could do anything, Optimus gave the pivotal order – "All units, Maximize!'

"RHINOX, MAXIMIZE!"

"RATTRAP, MAXIMIZE!"

"CHEETOR, MAXIMIZE!"

"SILVERBOLT, MAXIMIZE!"

"BLACKARACHNIA, MAXIMIZE!"

All five Maximals transformed into their respective combat modes. "OPTIMUS PRIMAL, MAXIMIZE!" as Optimus followed suit. "Titans," Robin shouted, "battle ready!" Rhinox pulled out his dual chain guns, Rattrap took out his semi-automatic blaster pistol, Cheetor activated his blaster rifle, Silverbolt pulled out two saberwing missile-swords, and Blackarachnia pulled out her own blaster. Lastly, Optimus revealed his twin plasma cannons, and the Titans pulled out their weaponry.

"Maximals," said Optimus, "Titans," said Robin, then they both cried, "ATTACK!" With that, the groups charged forward, separating into five groups. Cheetor and Beast Boy formed the first pair, with Cheetor firing his blaster rifle, taking out a few drones, as Beast Boy transformed into a gorilla and proceeded to smash in two drones' heads. Raven and Blackarachnia were the 2nd group. Blackarachnia fired her blaster, nailing a drone right in the head, and she then used several quite awe-inspiring martial arts moves to pulverize several more. When a group of 10 more came, Raven chanted, "Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!", as a nearby empty bus was enveloped in black energy and hurled at the large group of drones.

Starfire and Silverbolt took to the air, as Silverbolt sliced out several flying drones with his wingsabers, then threw them as missiles, which took out several more. When one attempted to grab hold of him, Starfire sent it flying with a powerful kick, then obliterated it with a starbolt. Cyborg, Rattrap, and Rhinox formed the 4th group. Cyborg used a heavy punch to leave a large hole in a now-offline drone, and Rattrap was firing his semi-automatic so often that he thought it might overheat. Rhinox, like Cyborg, was relying on his strength to destroy drones.

Optimus and Robin were the last group, and also the one that fought the hardest. Optimus was having little trouble with the drones, since their 2-meter heights paled in comparison to his 20-foot-tall body, and he had literally squashed quite a few. So they started leaving him alone and going after Robin. What followed amazed Optimus. He had never seen a human fight so fiercely, and within less than a minute, 20 drones had fallen to Robin's various attacks and gadgets.

Then, when all the drones were destroyed, the three megadroids showed up, each of them revealing their full arsenals. That's when Rhinox revealed his ALMIGHTY CHAIN GUNS OF DOOM! Firing the massive armaments, one of the megadroids was visibly damaged by the massive onslaught. Cyborg began firing his sonic cannon at the droid, damaging it even further. In a short time, the droid collapsed, permanently offline.

Optimus summoned his shoulder-mounted plasma cannons and pointed the laser sight directly at the 2nd droid's head module. Before it could react, its head was a collection of smoldering chunks of metal, and what was left of the droid collapsed. Then there was the 3rd droid. "Hey Cyborg," said Robin, pulling out one of his electric disks, "Wanna give this guy the Sonic Boom?" Cyborg smiled and summoned his sonic cannon, "I got da Sonic if you got da Boom."

The Maximals looked on curiously as Cyborg fired his sonic cannon. Robin tossed his electric disk directly into the path of the blast, and when the two attacks met and the disk detonated, the sonic blast was amplified into a massive wave of energy, and when it hit… well, lets just say that there wasn't much left of the megadroid.

The Maximals were left speechless. The attack was so powerful that it could've easily destroyed a Cybetronian. "Well," said Optimus, "That was a prime attack. Nice work-" but before he could finish his sentence, an immense red laser blast came out of nowhere, nailing him in the back and dealing considerable damage. The group immediately looked all around for the source of the blast. They didn't have to wait long, for out from behind a building came someone the Maximals never thought they'd have to deal with again. "Megatron?" said Blackarachnia, "But how? You were supposed to be locked up in Cybertron's highest-security prison". "Ah, yes," said Megatron, "That dull place. I must admit, I did think I would remain there for the rest of my days… that is, until my new master freed me". "New master?" inquired Optimus, "Who is-"

Again, he was interrupted, this time by a massive pillar of dark flame erupting from the ground nearby. From out of the flame stepped a large, red figure, about 10 feet tall, with red skin, four yellow eyes, long white hair, and a loincloth as his only cover. Raven immediately recognized this figure and began visible trembling. "Father…"

TO BE CONTINUED

I'm guessing that many of you want to slag me for leaving another cliffhanger. Well, that just happens to be my way of making sure you readers stick around for the next chapter. Well, that's all for now. Expect Chapter 3 during the next week or so.
