'Transformers: Crisis' Chapter 6: "When a single domino falls, the rest must follow..."

(Author's notes on bottom, as always)

There were certain events that happened in the past few days that made me start to consider what is really going on. Anyone remember that voice that was talking to me in my head in the cockpit of the ship...well I wasn't really sure that it was my conscience like I had previously thought. When I would think to myself, it was always me who was in control, but that time it was different. The voice was telling me what to do...

I hope that I was just imagining that. I knew everything, and I knew that there was no one controlling my thoughts or giving my their thoughts; at least I thought so...

Who knew, at the time I thought that maybe it was just be cooped up in that hotel that was making me go bonkers. I had no clue of what was really happening...

But anyway, there we were on Cybertron at the hotel. I was sitting in a chair when the news arrived: one of the Destrongers located Galvatron.

Not bad, I thought. I took only what, ten days! But I was happy, and so I made my way to the door and stepped out to see a beautiful day. There were bots everywhere, all enjoying the pleasantries of a nice day and a world at peace. It made me sad to think that it would all be gone in a matter of hours, but only a little sad because the moment their world was destroyed wouldn't last forever!

It was actually quite funny to see the Destrongers walk around Cybertron as Autobots. Sky-Byte probably blended in the best. He would wave at everybody and smile, then Slapper would hit him in the stomach.

One thing that annoyed me the most was that Dozenkillezia was growing a certain fondness for me. I didn't want anything more out of relationship than business; but things were changing, and definitely not in a good way...

However, we finally made it to the "secret" area where Galvatron was. I was stupefied by how long it took them to find it. It said, "Maximum Security Prison" right on the entrance gate. It looked like a fortress. Please help me; I'm completely surrounded by idiots... I thought. I knew that getting inside would be no easy task. I had to make sure that no one noticed us, or we might be overpowered by the inhabitants of Cybertron and the guards (they were Omega Sentinels). So, I casually walked up to the gatekeeper (a Paradron Medic), and proceeded to use a mind wipe on her. Then I downloaded the codes all of the gates and cells, and opened it so the Destrongers could freely enter.

As we made our way in, it was nothing like I had expected. I knew where Galvatron was; but I never really considered how he was stored and the room's massive size. It was huge; even cavernous! It seemed almost endless in length, and the ceilings were nearly forty stories high. On the sides of the walls were criminals who were all frozen in the same Caridium Carbonite that Galvatron was in.

I walked down the halls and I felt as though I was walking through the record books of Cybertronian history. We were all in awe of the great Destrongers that were here. There was Magmatron from the so-called Beast Wars, Soundwave from G1, Clench from G2, a Quintesson,... and then I seen something that made me stop dead in my tracks.

"What the...?" I said out loud as I looked at the figure. "I can't be..." Dozenkillezia said as she noticed what I was looking at. "But...how?" Scrouge said confused too. "Hmmm... this may be useful..." Prowler said in a real low voice that I couldn't hear (but of course I did). What I seen was none other than myself. I was frozen in Caridium Carbonite, and I was heavily damaged. I also seemed to be colored differently. I tried to locate this version of myself in my databanks, but all I could find out was that he was from the future when Unicron resurrected old great Destrongers to wage a final battle against the Autobots. I wasn't familiar with the Universe, and I began to really question if I did truly know everything. What the hell is going on here! I thought to myself. I was designed to know everything. I come made with knowledge of everything that has happened, will happen, and will ever happen. Why didn't I know about this! I really wanted to free this version of myself; but I knew that it would mess with history and cause a time storm that would rip me apart and kill me, so I moved on, looking back every moment or two gaze upon something so uncertain, it actually terrified me.

We finally made it to Galvatron's cell. He almost seemed at peace. His face was expressionless, and he was merely suspended in the freezing gel. I touched the gel, and it jiggled and left a little residue on my finger that almost instantly froze and crystallized. I broke off my finger and replaced it with a new one. "Anyone got any ideas about how to get him out of there?" Sky-Byte asked. "How about we blast him out?" Bombshell asked. "Not such a good idea." I said. I fired a projectile at the substance, and it bounced off. The projectile then froze and shattered as it hit the other wall. "Any other bright ideas?" I asked them. "Well, don't you know?" Shoveltron asked me. "Yes, but I wanted to see if anyone else knew." I said. They gave me a dirty look. "O.K. I'll tell you then. We raise the temperature so the substance becomes unstable and shatters." I said. I created two giant heaters and placed them in front of his cell. As the temperature went up, I could see the material begin to break down and turn into a liquid. Then when it was out of the direct heat beams, it refroze and shattered.

The whole process took maybe three minutes, but when it was done, Galvatron fell over. I caught him, and lifted back up so he could stand (I had to fly to do it). I removed the chip from his helmet, and he started to wake up. "I...I still function?" he asked. His optics flashed on, and he looked around to see the Destrongers. "What? Is this some sort of Autobot torture program?" he said. "What do you mean?" I asked him. "You're all Autobots! This can't be real!" he said, his voice growing unsteady and angry. "Oops." I said as I changed their symbols back to what they were originally. "Sorry about that Galvatron. I forgot." I told him. He looked at me with an evil stare (I was about 1/5 his size). "And just who exactly are you?" he asked. "I'm MetalSamamon. I commanded the Destrongers during your absence..." not a moment after saying that I received a backhand swat that threw me against the wall. I got up from the ground, and stood on me feet. "You ungrateful bastard! I rescued your Destrongers from certain annihilation, I gave you new troops, and I freed you! Do you have no consideration for what I've done!" I yelled. "You don't understand, pathetic fleshling. I am Galvatron. I am in control of the Destron forces. I am their supreme ruler, and no one else can take that title from me, especially you!" he bellowed. I merely stared back at him defiantly as he reached for his weapons. His face said it all when he realized that he was disarmed.

"If I were a meaner being; I would have killed you for such a comment. But right now, we've got bigger problems..." I said as I pointed down the hall. Everyone turned to see an army of Autobots heading towards us weapons in hand.

"Destrongers! Battle positions!" Galvatron commanded. Everyone moved into formation; even the newly created Destrongers. I was dumbfounded, but I followed suit.

But just then I was hit with an unbearable pain in my skull. I grabbed my head, and tried to relieve the stress by splitting my skull apart, but it didn't help. You don't know who I am, do you? The voice said to me. "NO! I was right! Somebody's controlling my thoughts!" I yelled out loud. The Destrongers turned to look at me, but quickly went back to firing at the oncoming Autobots. Doesn't it just suck, MetalSamamon? You're beginning to realize that you're not as powerful as you had thought. Isn't it just terrible? The voice gave a cruel laugh. "Who are you? Are you that version of me frozen in the cell?" I asked. Wouldn't you like to know...I'll tell you this much...You'll never figure it out because you can't! The voice said and laughed again. I screamed in frustration. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" I yelled. Never. You and I have some unfinished business we need to take care of, and I'm going to make sure you survive until the day we meet and I destroy you in the most slow and painful way you or I could imagine... the voice trailed off into a cruel laugh, and I felt the voice leave. I looked around, and realized that Dozenkillezia was in front of me blocking the laser fire from the Autobots.

"Step aside, lieutenant!" I said. She turned to me, and seen that eye was on fire and that my skin was starting to melt. My metal was turning colors from the tremendous heat. She jumped and quickly crawled away from me on her hands and knees. "This is only the beginning, whoever you are," I said as I flew above the Destrongers to face the Autobots. They stopped firing, and looked at me in awe and shock. "I will find you no matter what it takes, and I shall kill you so slowly and painfully that you'll wish you'd never had been born! I'll make you scream, bleed, cry, and beg for mercy all at the same time. But you shall receive no mercy; just like these pathetic Autobots!" I could see the fear in their optics as I unleashed holy hell!
