'Transformers: Crisis' Chapter 9: "A New Beginning..."

(Author's notes on bottom)

"AAAAHHHHH!" I screamed as the flames licked my body and seared my skin. The pain was intense; such pain as I had never endured before. I could feel my life leaving me...

...and then BOOM! I hit the ground, and hard. I laid there for a few moments, and looked up into the sky to see the tunnel that I had just came out of close up. I slowly stood up, and every movement caused me great pain. "Oh, this really sucks! Now how in the hell am I going to get out of here?" I asked myself rhetorically. Just then I realized that WarMetalSamamon was down there as well, and I looked around to see if he was near me; but there was no sign of him.

But as I looked around, I seen a terrible wasteland. The sky was blood red, and there was lightning flashing all around. Rivers of molten rock flowed near me; as I stood on a small piece of rock that was no more than 10 feet across. "Wow, I had no idea that this place was so bad..." I said aloud. I really didn't want to think to myself about anything anymore because of WarMetalSamamon.

I decided that I must investigate this land, find my enemy and destroy him once and for all. I yelled, "MetalSamamon: Mode Change to...Jet Mode!" and transformed into a jet and took to the air. I scanned the landscape in search of him, but to no avail; he was gone. "Hmm...maybe he got destroyed on the way down." I said to myself as I cruised around. It was unbearably hot; near 200 degrees according to my internal diagnostics. It was raining, but the rain was like acid, and it burned against my armor. I was too weak to deploy my shields, so I decided to find some shelter and crash for the night; and rebuild my power supply. I found a small cave, and transformed into fighter (robot) mode and entered the cave. I settled in, and fell fast asleep...

...I awoke some hours later (I can't say that it was morning because the sky looked exactly the same) and exited the cave. But when I left the cave entrance; someone was waiting for me...

"Well, look who's finally awake!" The voice said. I looked to my left and seen a figure emerge from the dense layer of fog that now covered the ground, and my jaw literally dropped. It was Megatron, but this was the Beast Wars Transmetal Megatron, and he was colored differently than I recall from my knowledge of history. "You're just the bot I wanted to see, yeeeesss. You condemned me to this infernal place, and now you shall pay for this!" He said as he charged up his tail cannon. "Whoa! Hold on here a minute! I just got here! And I know for a fact that I didn't send you here...what are you talking about?" I asked him. "You can't be serious! You invaded my time, turned traitor on us, and then attempted to rewrite the future so that the Transformers never existed! I'm not really sure how, but somehow you managed to send me here; and I'm not at all pleased, noooo! What kind of a fool do you take me for? Do you honestly expect me to believe you?" He said. Just then I realized something; that time doesn't really affect when you arrive here; I could have came in the past or in the future. "Look Megatron, I'm not sure what I did in the future, but I assure you that I can fix it..." I said. "NO! The time for retribution is long since past. You had your chance, MetalSamamon, and you failed. Now the Predacons shall exact their vengeance...out of your treacherous hide!" He yelled. "I see no other Predacons..." I said. Just then Waspinator swooped down out of the air, and Tarantulas and Blackarachnia came out from behind some large boulders. "Oh boy; this is not good!" I said, and assumed a battle stance.

"All Predacons; open fire!" Megatron called out, and everyone started attacking me. I teleported behind Waspinator and punched him in the head. His head spun around a few times and stopped sideways. "Why everybody hate Waspinator?" he asked, and fell to the ground. The remaining Predacons turned around and fired upon me. A few shots found their target, and I fell to the ground. "MetalSamamon: Mode Change to...Car Mode!" I yelled and transformed into a car and plowed into them; sending them falling. They quickly stood up and Megatron transformed into his wheeled T-Rex mode, and Tarantulas into his wheeled spider mode. "Two can play that game!" Megatron snarled at me, and with his turbines at full throttle attacked me with Tarantulas following suit. I raised my cannon platform and open fire upon them. They both stopped and Megatron took to the air, while Tarantulas fishtailed and crashed into a boulder.

I transformed back into fighter mode, and just then I got shot in the back. "Hope you like my cyber-venom!" Blackarachnia cackled and she blew the smoke from the barrel of her gun. I grabbed the end of the missile (which was sticking out of my back) and threw it down. The cyber-venom wore off, and I turned around to face her. "That...hurt!" I yelled as I picked her up, and smashed her into the ground head-first. "Idiot!" I screamed as I walked away from her twitching body. Just then I was tackled from the air by Megatron. He pinned me against the ground with his giant T-Rex feet. "Now, you shall incur my wrath, and know the pain I had to endure!" He said as he opened his mouth to chomp on my head. "You're not even close to being powerful enough to destroy me!" I said. "I am POWER!" He said as he closed his jaws around my head. As I felt the pressure growing from his crushing jaws, I shot a blast with my optic laser into the back of his head. He released me, and flew back, landing hard against the ground. He transformed into robot mode and grabbed his injured troops. "This isn't over, MetalSamamon! You sent us to this hell, and now you will have to live with it everyday! WarMetalSamamon was right; you are a no good traitor to your cause!" He sneered and took off into the distance.

I stood there, and realized that WarMetalSamamon had survived, and apparently he had been here for quite some time. I also realized that a lot more happens in the future than I had previously thought. "Holy mother of Megatron, what have I done?" I asked myself. I realized then that I needed to get back to my own time, and my own world. Much needed to be done, so I fixed upon my previous coordinates, and teleported back to Cybertron.

Upon arriving there, I was greeted by Megatron (thankfully it was the Megatron I created). "MetalSamamon; you're back!" He said. "Yes, I have returned. Any news?" I asked him. "Well, nothing really, other than one minor problem..." He said. "And that would be...?" I asked him. "...Some of the Cybertronians escaped."
