'Transformers: Crisis' Chapter 11: "The Change: Part 1".

(Author's notes on bottom)

"And so it begins, Omega Prime. It has come down to this; the ultimate battle between evil and good, the final Armageddon, the last trial. Your Autobots against my Destrongers..." I peered on unaffected by Omega Prime's fiercesome form. "...And to think that once I would have been satisfied with living a normal, safe human life. To think of all of the experiences I would have missed out on, to think of all the different times and realities that I would not have been able to touch; it's almost heart-wrenching..." Then I raised my arm to salute Prime. "...Your Transformer forces have proven to be worthy and challenging opponents...I salute you and your Autobots; you are valiant warriors."

All the Autobots looked at me in sheer stupidity and amazement. Hot Shot dropped his gun in sheer shock. "I can't believe my audio receptors," W.A.R.S. said, "Did he just say what I think he said?" His question goes unanswered, the only response being dropped jaws and looks of bewilderment. I smiled as I salute them, and took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Off in the distance I saw T-AI standing in the doorway of the base. She looked at me, and muttered something; but I couldn't make it out. Her expression grew happy, and she went back inside.

"Ah, slag it! This is some kind of trick!" Ironhide blurted out. The Autobots turned to face him as I released my salute and looked at him as well. "I mean, it has to be. He killed Side Burn, Prowl, and X-Brawn; and now he goes and said we're worthy opponents. Come on Prime, you ain't buying this, are ya?" he asked. Prime looked up in thought, and spoke. "No, Ironhide, I'm not. This seems too convenient for me to believe as well..." His voice trailed off. "Huh, if you ask me I think that he doesn't have the army he used to. That's why he's trying to get us all soft so we'll be easier targets." R.E.V. stated. The other Spychangers shook their heads in agreement.

"Ah to hell with all of you!" I yelled. "I try to honor your deaths and your selfless sacrifices, and this is the response I get. No wonder you all die screaming like little babies!" "What!" Prime said. I stopped, and looked away, "Uh, nothing. Never mind." I quickly muttered. But then I turned back to them, "This conversation has gone on long enough. It's time!" I said as I converted my arms into cannons, "It ends here!"

"Autobots attack!" Prime yelled as he charged towards me and the ship. He moved his sword into a plunging position, and aimed it at my chest. "Destrongers! Obliterate them!" I screamed to the others still aboard the ship. As Prime got close enough to ram me, I jumped into the air and landed on the blade of the sword. I did a flip and kicked Prime in the face, and he stumbled back and grabbed his face. He growled and flung the tip of the sword up and I flew off. As I was falling to the ground Prime swung his sword and slashed my leg off. "ARRGGGHHH!" I screamed as I landed on the ground injured and half-unconscious. "I knew it!" Prime said, as he held the sword tightly, "You're not invincible! No more god-playing for you, MetalSamamon. Your time has come at last." He said as he raised the sword to slice me in half. I turned to look up at him, "Never, Prime, never!" I said as I teleported and his sword hit the ground where I was. It plunged deep into the ground and was stuck. I reappeared behind him with my leg reattached. "You know nothing of me and my powers!" I said as I blasted him in the back. He screamed as he dug his feet into the ground and grinded his teeth together. "You're only delaying your demise, Prime. DIE!" I said with finality as I used my other arm to blast him.

Under the pressure his body cracked and broke apart, and he and Magnus separated. They landed on the ground beside each other with the sword still stuck. "Yes!" I yelled, but no sooner than I did that did a rifle shot hit me and I fell to the ground again. "No one does that to Omega Prime!" Hot Shot said defiantly, and ran with the other Autobots to attack me. I sat up and looked at them. "Great. Where are my Destrongers when I need them..." I muttered to myself. I turned to look at the ship and there was no one there. "Arrgh!" I yelled. "Those cowards! Where did they go!" I yelled.

"We're here!" A voice called from by the base. The Autobots stopped and turned around to see the Destrongers standing at the entrance to the base, and I seen Dozenkillezia standing in front of them all. She smiled at me, and winked. "Uh..." I merely stated as I looked at them in confusion. "Destrongers, go!" She commanded and transformed into her battle robot mode. They ran towards the Spychangers, Optimus, and Magnus. "There is no way I'm dying like this!" Ultra Magnus said as he stood up and shook off the daze He raised his weapons platform and began shooting at the Destrongers. Prime was a little slower getting up, but he stood up and raised his ladder weapons. "Let's do it!" He said and fired. The missiles hit the ground with tremendous force and caused the Destrongers to break formation and spread into small groups. "Gigatron, take Prowler and Jetflight and flank on the right. Megatron, take the rest and advance down the middle. I'm going for MetalSamamon!" Dozenkillezia ordered as she fired her claw blasters at the Autobots. Megatron and Gigatron shook their heads and moved in accordance. I stood up, and repaired my damage on my back. "Hmm...it appears that I made a good decision with her." I said to myself and watched as she battled her way towards me. Mirage lunged at her but she quickly kicked him and he did a back flip into a face plant in the soft ground. She was taking damage from laser fire, and I decided that I couldn't just let her get blasted. I aimed my mirrors and aimed them at Ultra Magnus and shot him square in the knees. He quivered and fell to the ground, grabbing his knees in pain.

I ran towards Dozenkillezia, and for a moment it seemed as though time were moving in slow motion as I watched her movements. She seemed so graceful, so majestic, so...beautiful. Finally we met, her and I exchanged looks as stood in the middle of the battlefield. She smiled at me, "I always knew you'd come back to me." I looked at her surprised, but then smiled back, "Yes, I'm back. I..." I started, but stuttered. "Yes?" She said as her eyes almost seemed to force the words out of me. "I...I love you." I finally stammered out. Her face lit up with happiness, and she squealed gleefully. She grabbed me and squeezed me tight to her body and kissed me. She kissed me long and with passion across the lips. It was odd for me; it had been so long since I had been love, much less been kissed. Her metal lips were cold and yet strangely warm against my flesh lips, but I enjoyed every moment of it. It seemed as if the Earth had stopped spinning and for that moment, we were all that existed in the universe.

She finally released me, and smiled at me. "Wow! That was amazing!" I said in splendid joy. She giggled, "I'm glad you liked it as much as I did." Just then she looked off to her left. "Look out!" She said as she tackled me to the ground. As we fell I looked to see a missile headed straight towards us, and it barely flew past us as we fell to the ground. She landed on top of me, and she laid there for a moment. Then she rolled off and I stood up. "So, you want to ruin my moment, eh?" I said as I extended my outer arm cannons and opened fire with all of my barrels, "Take this!" I watched as the missiles hit their target, and a Paradron Medic blew into a thousand pieces. "What the hell?" I said. "What's she doing here?" I asked Dozenkillezia. "We hijacked a few of them and forced them to repair those of us who got damaged back on Cybertron." She told me. I smiled at her with agreement. "Clever." I commented.

"Slag! We're getting decimated here Prime!" Magnus shouted to Optimus. "What's keeping Skid-Z and Tow-Line?" He asked. Prime continued firing and answered back, "I don't know, brother. But maybe T-AI can find out." He said as he opened his COM link. I watched from not too far away as he contacted T-AI and asked her to report on their status. "Whatever could they be up to?" I asked myself. "No clue, but I'll put a stop to it!" Dozenkillezia replied, and I looked over to her in wonder. "That wasn't a question to be answered." I stated. "I know, but it's funny when you talk to yourself." She stated, and giggled. "I wouldn't have to if it weren't for my former Digimon partner..." I growled, and then sighed, "...But I guess." I said incompletely. She looked and me, and then walked over to me. "MetalSamamon, give me a kiss for good luck." She said and looked at me. "You're a real piece of work, you know that?" I said to her. She smiled, "I know." She said as we kissed. Then she transformed into a vulture and took off towards our overrun base. I watched her fly off, and then returned my attention to the battle underway.

"Huh, this seems almost too easy!" I said and then a giant hand grabbed me from behind. "What the!" I said as I changed my cannon hands into hammers and pounded on the fingers of the giant. "Let go or else!" I said. I rotated my head around to see my attacker. It was Rail Racer. "So, you're the little guy who's been causing all this chaos?" He says mockingly at me. "Smartass!" I said as I built up my power and let out a wave of electricity and lightning echoed across Rail Racer's body. He moaned in pain, and released me. I stopped myself in mid drop with my jets and flew up towards his head. "The bigger they are..." I started as I gave him an uppercut with my hammer hand and he toppled backward to the ground, "...The harder they fall!" I said as he landed with a tremendous thud. He laid there for a moment, but then he grabbed his gun and shot me.

I flew through the air high above the battle below and finally landed on the other side of the battlefield. I hit the ground with a hard thud and shook my head in a daze. "Oh, that was some shot!" I said as I tried to stand up. But as I tried to stand up a foot stood upon my chest. "Who dares!" I said as I looked up, and my jaw dropped. I looked up and seen 5 seeker jets standing in formation around me. "Now, MetalSamamon, you shall bear witness to reign of Starscream!"
