'Transformers: Crisis' Chapter 12: "The Change: Part 2".
(Author's Notes on Bottom)
"Glorious reign, Starscream?" I said, "this is bad comedy." "Huh, why does that line sound familiar...?" Starscream pondered to himself. As he did, I threw him off of me and he fell onto his back. He grunted as he hit, and sat there for a moment before standing to his feet. As I tried to stand to my feet the other seekers pointed their null ray cannons at me. I merely sat in the position I was in and glared at them in anger. "So, tell me Starscream, who are these lackeys of yours?" I asked him. He was on his feet, and he snarled when I asked the question. "You try my patience, MetalSamamon..." he started. But before he could finish the ground shook lightly as if someone were running towards us. I turned around without moving my body and seen Megatron coming.
"At last! You've arrived!" He said as he came upon us, and stopped with a few feet of me. "You called this loser brigade?" I asked him. He merely squinted his eyes in response. "Yes, lord Megatron, we're here at long last." Starscream responded; and walked past me over to Megatron. He paused only for a brief moment to tell the other seekers to keep their guns on me. I looked at the seekers and smiled; but they remained emotionless; all except one. He was a grey seeker with black and white accents, and he smiled back at me. I raised my eyebrow in question; but didn't move my body to avoid the consequential rain of laserfire.
"Tell me Starscream, what kept you and your armada? You were supposed to be here nearly an Earth-month ago." Megatron asked. Starscream sighed, "Well, we were on our way, when our ship was hit by this laser pulse that was fired from Cybertron." "The signal!" I said; and I immediately drew looks from everyone. Starscream rubbed his chin and approached me; Megatron followed. "What signal?" he asked me, signaling his seekers to lower their cannons. "When I was leaving Cybertron, I seen a signal shoot out from Cybertron and enter space. It created some kind of portal when it was nearly out of my optical sensor range; and it appeared to enter another dimension or something..." I stated as I slowly stood to my feet, "But hold on a second; that signal was sent long after you should have left Cybertron; nearly 3 weeks later." I said as I turned to Starscream and looked at him in extreme question. Megatron also shifted his gaze to Starscream. "Well, if you'd let me finish, as I was saying we were hit by this 'signal' from Cybertron. The odd thing is that we were moving extremely fast to make up the time that I had lost in gathering my troops from their posts on Destron; which took nearly 3 weeks." Megatron nodded his head lightly; and I followed suit. "The point is that it didn't do anything to us or our ship, and we're finally here, and that's all that matters. Where are the Autobots!" Starscream yelled and looked around. I turned to see that we were actually pretty far from the battlefield, and turned back to see all of them transform into vehicle modes. "Seekers; attack!" Starscream commanded as he launched like a rocket towards the battlefield. Megatron was in his space ship mode, and followed the seekers. I watched them leave, and sighed a breath of relief. "Good, I hoping that wouldn't end in a battle..." I said as I suddenly remembered something. "MetalSamamon; mode change to...Jet Mode!" I said and transformed. I hovered for a few seconds and took off towards the Autobot base at full speed.
As I traveled closer to the base, my own automated defenses activated and gun ports opened in the ground. They targeted me and opened fire; but I knew their targeting system since I was the one who designed it. With great ease and skill, I maneuvered through the blankets of laser fire and passed them and entered the airspace surrounding my base; out of the guns' range. "MetalSamamon mode change to...Fighter Mode!" I yelled as I transformed back. I landed and walked towards the entrance to my base. It was rather massive; and resembled a human government building with statues of horses on top of the front entrance; and a dome with spires in the center area and on each of the side wing areas; one on the left and one on the right. I blasted the door in, and entered my own base as an enemy.
As I looked around; all the portraits I had up of great Destron leaders were either taken down or defaced. "Man, they gave Ultra Megatron a mustache." I sighed, and walked on past the portrait. I entered the main command room, and seen T-AI busily typing away on the main computer. She stared at the screen, and on it I seen pictures of Side Burn, Prowl, and X-Brawn; as well as their schematics and blueprints. "So, planning on rebuilding them, are you?" I said as I converted my arm into a cannon and aimed it at her. She turned to face me, and smiled. "What do you intend to do with that?" she asked me, "I'm a computer program; you can't harm me." "That might be true, but I bet I can destroy that computer with no problem..." I retorted, and proceeded to walk closer to her. She gave me an evil stare, and slowly backed up towards the computer. "Ah ah; mustn't touch..." I taunted, charging my cannon as a threat. She stopped within a few inches; and moved her arm up along her side towards her back. "You're a clever one, MetalSamamon. Too bad you weren't an Autobot; you might have been a great warrior." She said as quickly moved her arm and pressed a key on the computer. As she did this I fired and the shot passed right through her and destroyed the computer. Smoke filled the room, and as it began to clear I seen guns drop from the ceiling and open fire on me. "By the pit; she's activated my own defenses!" I said as I jumped out of the way and activated my arm shields. They formed a protective shield around me, and the laser fire did not penetrate. I quickly shot out the guns, and walked through the dispersing smoke to where T-AI was; but she was gone. I retracted my shields, and looked around in the immediate vicinity; and seen nothing more than an empty room.
I sighed, and turned my attention back to the slagged computer. "Hmm, perhaps I can get something out of this hunk of junk." I said and typed a few of the remaining keys. I managed to reroute the visuals to my own circuits, and activated my eye-hologram screen. "So, what are you up to T-AI..." I asked myself as I scanned the files. I found blueprints for warriors I had never seen before; and tried to access the details, but the files were too far damaged to recall. "Slag!" I said, and removed my connection from the terminal, "This computer program is turning out to be more of a problem than I anticipated; I think I need to delete her; permanently!"
I opened a panel on my arm, and sent a signal to Dozenkillezia. She responded almost immediately; although the transmission was staticky. "This is Dozenkillezia..." She responded. I peered at her through the small flip-up screen and smiled. "Have you found anything new?" I asked her. "MS! It's so good to see you again!" she squealed with delight, and I sighed and laughed simultaneously. She quickly gathered herself, "Uh, well I was at the base for a short time where I was able to overhear communications between T-AI and Optimus...so, yeah, I got some bad news, and worse news." She said. I shifted my eyebrows in question; and answered her, "O.K., so what's the bad news?" "Well, I found out what Tow-Line and Skid-Z were up to..." she started. "Yes...?" I asked, urging her on. "They reactivated Fortress Maximus, and he's on his way now to our base!" she told me. "And this is only the bad news..." I said, "What could be worse than that?" "I also found out what T-AI was doing..." She gulped. I was a little worried now upon seeing her do that. "Do I dare ask?" I commented. "She...somehow found a way to contact the Digi-World, and..." she started with fear in her voice. "Oh, in the name of Primus don't tell me..." I started, fearing those upcoming words. "...and MysticalFlamingamon is on his way!"
"That's not what I needed to hear!" I said as I clenched my teeth. I clenched them so hard that I snapped a few of them in my mouth, and they dropped to the ground. "But that's not all MS; he's bringing an army of Digimon! Any and all evil Digimon you could think of; MetalSeadramon, ReverseMyotismon, WarGreymon, SkullSeadramon, Digivolvermon; the list is almost endless!" she cried out, and I saw the fear in her face. I grabbed my head in pain, "BLAST IT ALL!" I yelled, and looked around quickly before turning back to my screen. "Return here at once. This battle is going to get ugly; and fast!" I commanded. "What are you going to do?" she asked me. "I'm going to prepare for the end..." I began, and smirked slightly, "...and rip T-AI limb from limb!"
"Why wait MetalSamamon?" a voice said from behind me. I turned around and a robot tower a few feet taller than me with a blaster rifle pointed right at my head. "What...?" I asked; confused. "You weren't expecting to see me in this form, were you?" the robot said. My jaw dropped slightly in sheer shock at the robot. It was pink in color, with red transformation panels accenting its body. It was obviously feminine. "But how...?" I stuttered as I backed away slowly. "I downloaded myself into this body I created when I heard you were returning. I'm cleverer than you could imagine..." the robot smiled and began to pull the trigger. "You are indeed clever T-AI; but you're no match for me!" I said as she fired a shot that barely missed my head as I moved slightly to the right. I converted my arm into a hammer and smashed the rifle out of her hand. "Ow!" she cried, "Don't you know it's not polite to hit a lady?" "If I see one; I'll let you know." I retorted and fired my shoulder cannons at her and she was sent flying back and smashed into the wall. As the wall crumbled around her; she stood to her feet and drew a sword from her shin. "So, you want an old fashioned battle, eh?" I asked, converting my arms into swords, "Bring it!"
She lunged at me and I at her; and our swords met with a thunderous clash. I blocked her as she made move after move after move trying to land a hit upon me. "Give it up MetalSamamon; you're not a Transformer, and you're one poor Destronger!" she yelled as our swords locked together. "You know, I always thought I had you pegged as a weak conforming pretty girl; but it appears that I've been sadly mistaken!" I said as I tried to move my arms to unlock us, but to no avail. "Well, there are plenty of things you don't know..." she said, and pressed into me with her weight in an attempt to break me. "I know one thing..." I started. "And that would be?" she asked. "You talk too much!" I said as I blasted her with my backpack cannons and she fell to the ground. "I'm sick of you and your Autobot kind! You will all die!" I said as I plunged my sword into her breastplate; puncturing her circuits. Sparks flew from her chest as she cried out in pain. "YES! SCREAM! SCREEEEAAAAMMMMM!" I yelled as my expression became insane with hatred and pleasure. "NOOOOO! STOOPPPP!" She cried out and tried to pull the sword out of herself, but her strength was leaving her fast. "You've meddled in my affairs for the last time...Now DIE!" I screamed as I twisted the blade inside her. I felt her life essence begin to wane when the ground began to shake. "No! NOOO! I will kill you!" I said I tried to ignore the shaking, but the ground under my own feet was shaking so much that I lost my balance, thus withdrawing the sword from T-AI and falling on my butt. "No!" I cried out as I transformed into my jet mode. "So close; I was SO CLOSE!" I yelled as I dashed out of the room and towards the exit, grabbing the dying T-AI with my front-mounted grabbing tentacles and placing her on top of my cockpit. I flew out of the blasted open entrance of my base at top speed and flew out to see that all of the Transformers had stopped fighting, and were staring off in the distance to my right at something. I turned to see what it was; and seen the massive form of Fortress Maximus approaching us.
