'Transformers: Crisis' Chapter 7: "More Than Meets The Eye..."

(Author's notes on bottom)

I rose above them all, and I could sense the fear in every last one of them; even the Destrongers. I sneered and the flames spread to every non-metal part of my body. "Now you all shall witness hell on Cybertron. I shall destroy every single Autobot bare handed if I must!" I screamed, and opened up my gunports on my arms. I released a barrage of missiles, bombs, and bullets that the likes of had never been seen before. The Autobots ran in terror and fled for their lives, but it was no good. I heard their screams as they were torn apart and their bodies were engulfed in flames and speared with debris and shrapnel. "YES! SCREAM! YOUR PAIN ONLY FUELS MY RAGE!" I said as the skin was fully melted off of my face; revealing a solid metal understructure.

Galvatron, while shielding himself from the flames and heat, stared at me in amazement. "I had no idea he had this much power…I must make him one of my warriors." He smiled. I heard this, and turned to him while I continuing firing. "WHAT'S THAT GALVATRON? YOU WISH TO MAKE ME ONE OF YOUR PAWNS?" I said with an insane grin. He looked at me surprised. "DON'T BE SHOCKED! I KNEW IT AS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOU TRIED SOMETHING LIKE THIS! NOW YOU TOO SHALL INCUR MY WRATH!" I yelled as I opened fire upon him too. He blocked the fire with his wing, but my missiles managed to penetrate his shields quite easily. He roared in anger and pain, and lunged at me. I punched him in the skull, and sent him flying to the ground. Then I stopped firing, and landed on the ground beside him. I quickly peered over at the Autobots, and seen nothing but a pile of smoke rubble and burning Transformers that were still functional. Their cries of pain filled the air, and I smiled. By this time, I was nearly a walking fireball.

"SO GALVATRON, YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE ME. I'M METALSAMAMON! I'M INVINCIBLE! I CAN NOT BE DEFEATED OR CONTROLLED! NO ONE TELLS ME WHAT TO DO AND LIVES TO TELL THE TALE! PREPARE FOR YOUR FINAL ANNIHILATION!" I said as I grabbed his head and ripped it off. I could feel the power surging through it, and I crushed it with my bare hand. I threw it to the ground and proceeded to blast his body to bits. "YOU UNGRATEFUL SELFISH BASTARD! AFTER ALL THAT I DID FOR YOU; YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO TRY TO REPROGRAM ME! ME! I AM METALSAMAMON! I AM NO ONE'S LACKEY!" Lightning arced off of my metal, and filled the hall. The Destrongers covered their eyes from the tremendous light, and cowered in fear. All except for two…

Prowler and Prowlee were standing in front of my "other self" from the future. They didn't know at the time that version of me came from the future; they assumed it was from the past. "Yes, it's only a matter of minutes before the heat from MetalSamamon's attack melts this cell, and then I can kill him without even having to face off against him!" Prowler said in a real low voice to Prowlee. I was too busy to even pay attention to what was goes going on; but instead concentrating on obliterating everything.

Then the ceiling of the hall crashed down as I seen a giant foot step down through the new hole. "AH YES! AN OMEGA SENTINEL! JUST THE BOT TO TEST MY REAL ABILITY ON!" I said as I rocketed off of the ground up to the giant robot. "Identify yourself, or be destroyed." The sentinel said. I laughed an insane and cruel laugh. "NOT THIS TIME, BUDDY BOY!" I said, and blasted a hole clean through its torso. I then converted my hand into a hammer and slammed it into his head. The force of the hit knocked it over, and it crashed to the ground; crushing the wall of the hall along with it. I heard screams from trapped Autobots underneath the fallen giant, and merely grinned at their sounds of unbearable agony. Then another sentinel came, and I did something I never thought I would do; I opened a Death Gate (it's a special power that I have and when I do it, it opens a door to another dimension that would most closely resemble Hell). It created a vacuum that sucked everything into it, and stretched things as it pulled them towards it. The sentinel plunged its claw into the ground to try to secure a grip on the ground, but it was no use. I could hear the parts of the sentinel being crushed and broken as it was sucked into the gate. Then various other Autobots who came to the aid of their fallen comrades were sucked in as well, and the gate began to draw in the ground of Cybertron. Buildings began to crumble as they were drawn in too. "THAT SHOULD DO IT!" I said as I closed the gate, and it vanished upon closing.

Meanwhile, just mere feet behind me, the remnants of Galvatron's head managed to say something. Gigatron was there to here the words, and Gigatron proceeded to clean up the pieces of Galvatron and opened a storage area on his own body and placed Galvatron's parts inside. Then Gigatron looked up at me, and at that instant; I turned around and looked at him. "WHAT IS IT, MY LOYAL DESTRONGER? WHAT IS IT THAT TROUBLES YOU GIGATRON?" I asked him. "Nothing. I was merely admiring your total lack for compassion." He told me. "YOU'RE A TERRIBLE LIAR; YOU KNOW THAT GIGATRON?" I asked him. He merely stared back at me without even flinching. I was still angry, and decided that I didn't want to put up with anyone's treachery. I nose-dived towards him, and he jumped out of the way. I barely managed to pull out of the nosedive, and landed about ten feet away from him. "WHY DO YOU DELAY YOUR DEATH FOOL? YOU WILL DIE; SO STAND STILL AND ACCCEPT YOUR DEMISE!" I said as I converted my hand into a sword and attacked him. He used his claw-tentacles to block my attacks, but as I whacked away at him pieces began to break off of him. Then I backhanded him and sliced off his head, and he fell to the ground.

"STOP METALSAMAMON!" a voice cried out from amongst the confusion. I stopped and looked around. "WHO DARES INTERRUPT ME?" I said as I turned to face the Destrongers. My face was nearly gone, and I was nothing but a walking fiery skeleton with metal parts. "Please MetalSamamon," Dozenkillezia stood up and appeared through the smoke and ruins, "You're not like this! This is madness! You're attacking your own Destrongers! When will it end?" "NEVER!" I told her. "I AM METALSAMAMON! I AM TIRED OF ALL OF YOU TRYING TO DESTROY ME! I'M TIRED OF EVERYONE PLOTTING AGAINST ME AND DISOBEYING MY ORDERS! NOW YOU ALL MUST SUFFER, EVEN YOU!" I said as I walked over to her and grabbed her neck and lifted her off of the ground. "Please MetalSamamon, don't kill me.." she begged me. "I WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES TO EARN THE RESPECT I SO RICHLY DESERVE!" I told her as I began to squeeze her neck tightly. I could feel the hoses and wires in her neck break and pop as I squeezed even harder and harder.

But then I noticed something that made me stop, and I dropped her. "NO! YOU MUST NOT TOUCH HIM!" I yelled as I started to run towards Prowler and Prowlee. "They turned quickly and noticed me walking towards them. "Quickly Prowler! Kill him!" Prowlee shouted as Prowler freed the last bit of gel that held my other self in place. My other self fell into Prowler's arms, and he proceeded to use his axe to chop off my other self's head. "You no longer exist, MetalSamamon! DIE!" He told me, and waited for something to happen to me. But nothing happened. I continued to run towards them, and when I got there; Prowler was so terrified he opened his mouth to scream but nothing came out. I speared him through the head with my sword as he plowed his axe into my shoulder. It sliced about half way through my body, and I clenched my teeth together as I stared him in the face. He looked at me even we the blade in his head, and tried to say something. "Don't," I said in a calmer voice as it began to rain, "I know what you're thinking. You were right to attack me, and I'm sorry you must die this way; but it is necessary." I said, and yanked out my blade from his head. He fell to the ground dead and Prowlee ran over to him making sobbing sounds and waving his arms in the air in panic. "Prowler! NO!" he said as he tried to lift Prowler up, but it was no good; Prowler was too heavy. "Come on Prowler. You can't be dead! You're my friend!" He said as he sat next to Prowler's dead body. I stood over them as the rain dripped off of my skeleton. "I'm sorry Prowlee. I needed to.." I started. "DON'T!" he said as he looked up at me. It almost looked like he was crying from the rain dripping off of his face. "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR BS!" he said. I was taken back by this a little (mainly because of this little bot's gusto). "YOU KILLED HIM! YOU KILLED MY BEST FRIEND!" His voice became shaky and unsteady. "WHY? WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE? ALL HE WANTED WAS TO BE YOUR LIEUTENANT, BUT YOU COULDN'T EVEN GIVE HIM THAT! YOU EVIL SON-OF-A-BITCH! HOW COULD YOU!" He screamed at me. I could only stare back at him without saying a word. There was nothing I could say to him.

I looked around to see the sky and clouds all around. I also seen the cells of the other Destrongers melted, and the bodies of the frozen Destrongers lying on the ground limp in the rain. I seen the other Destrongers looking at me; some in fear, other in regret. I took a step towards them, and they all backed away in fear. "Please don't. I…I don't know what came over me…I'm alright now…Please come back here." I said as I extended my hand towards them in friendship. "No MetalSamamon, you're not alright." Scrouge said as he stood up. The rest of the Destrongers followed suit. "You're not the same being I met in the park anymore." Sky-Byte told me. I looked around in confusion and began to take a few steps back as they began to advance towards me. "You're no better than one of the Autobots you killed!" Slice Master said to me. "You've killed your own kind! You're a traitor to the Destron cause!" Tritopce' told me. "And to think I thought you were our savior!" Chains said as he grunted. They began to talk all at once at me as they backed me into a corner. I panned back and forth between looking at each one of them as I realized that I could back up no further. "You shall receive no mercy from us!" Bronto Magnus said as they reached out for me.

Then I opened all of my gunports and cannons and blasted them all. They flew in every direction and some hit the wall while others hit the ground. "FOOLS! YOU DARE TRY TO DESTROY ME! HOW DARE YOU ALL TURN AGAINST ME! I CREATED MOST OF YOU! THE REST OF YOU I SAVED FROM CERTAIN DESTRCUTION FROM THE AUTOBOTS! AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME?" I yelled at them. "IF YOU DON'T GET UP AND GO OUT THERE AND DESTROY ALL OF THE AUTOBOTS; I SHALL KILL YOU ALL!" I commanded. They got up slowly from the damage I just caused on them, and they walked away slowly without saying a word. I watched them as they left what was left of the hall, and sneered at them all. "You fools! You have no idea of what you're messing with!" I said, and proceeded to walk over to Gigatron. "Hmmm. Now what do I do with you guys?" I asked myself. I looked around at the bodies of Prowler and Gigatron. Prowlee was just sitting there silent and sad. I reached down and opened up the storage unit on Gigatron and took out the pieces of Galvatron. "You, one who never knew the meaning of taking an order, shall now become my new leader of Decepticon forces; but you shall obey my word as if your very life depended upon it because it does!" I said as I placed the pieces into a pile. "DIGITAL DECOMPOSITION!" I yelled as I used my cyber-eye to disintegrate the pieces of him, and they were absorbed into my structure through my eye's light beam. Then I yelled, "DIGITAL RECOMPOSITION!" and I made a new figure appear from the light beam. He was big, and had four giant wheels on the sides of his body and a faceplate covering his mouth.. "Welcome to Transformers Crisis, Megatron!" I said as I watched him activate. "Wha..Who am I?" He asked. "You're Megatron, the leader of the Decepticon forces. You take your orders directly from me, MetalSamamon the supreme ruler of the Destron forces, and no one else. You transform into a steamroller, a monster truck, a space ship, and of course this robot mode. Do you understand?" I asked him. "Yes, my master. I understand." he said. I smiled. "We'll see how long your loyalty lasts, Megatron. This is not the first time you've tried to do something like this; nor shall it be the last. Just remember who your master is…" I said.

Then I moved onto Prowler and Prowlee. Prowler was now lying in a puddle of water, and Prowlee sat beside him without moving a single bolt. "You too shall be reborn Prowler. This is not a day of sadness but instead a day of rejoice. We will destroy all of the Autobots, and there will be no more pain." I reached down and picked up Prowler. Strangely Prowlee did nothing; I now know that he was in shock. I used my digital decomposition/recomposition process and he was reborn as Prowler again, but this time improved with a third mode for flying. Prowlee was also reborn and his memories were erased (just like Megatron, Gigatron and Prowlers'). I stood up, and gave a look around to show my approval for the new troops. "Perhaps it's time to bring in the reinforcements." I said, and digitally created a vast army of Vehicons. I created the shoveler drones, the slicing drones, the bombing drones, the pepperbox gun drones, and a couple of new ones: airborne drones commanded by a second generation Decepticon named Jetflight, and lamppost drones commanded by a Vehicon named Brownout. "Go forth my children and do your worst!" I said as I pointed out towards the Cybertronian horizon. It was night and it had stopped raining. The skies had cleared a little and I could see a moon of Cybertron rising above the horizon. "Leave no Autobot functional!" I said, and took off into the sky.

I flew around above the cities of Cybertron and watched as the citizens were massacred. I witnessed as the drones and my warriors gave no mercy to every single bot. Old bots, young bots, male bots, female bots; it made no difference. I witnessed the slicing drones ripping apart homes and then transforming and slicing the defenseless beings inside into ribbons. I witnessed the bombing drones take out whole neighborhoods. I witnessed the shoveling drones transform into wheeled robot modes and go through towns and while carrying and using the Browning 2 drones take out any opposition that they encountered. The Paradron Medics powerlinked with their Mini-Cons (each is called Checkout) to increase their powers and try as they might; they just couldn't defeat the drones and the warriors. I don't think I ever seen Scrouge happier. He was slicing and killing everyone and anyone he met. It was so great, I nearly forgot about everything else…

But then, I heard a voice. It was a very familiar voice, but I couldn't place it at first. It sounded like me, but I wasn't sure. I looked around and seen my other self from the future still lying on the ground headless and dead. I was stumped. "I think it's about time I show myself to you, MetalSamamon. You will finally see the face that shall kill you!" the voice said. I turned around in the air, and seen him right behind me. "You!" I yelled in shock. "Yes, MetalSamamon. It's me. I'm what you should have been. I'm your superior form, WarMetalSamamon!"
