'Transformers: Crisis' Recap:

Last time in 'Crisis': MetalSamamon managed to get away from Starscream, Megatron, and the seekers, but barely. Starscream explained what happened to him; but it seemed to affect one gray seeker in particular…MetalSamamon infiltrated his own base and attacked the intruder T-AI; only to stumble upon her plans for the final battle. Also, he learned of his replacement in his Digi-World empire is coming; and not to help him! Then T-AI surprises him in a new decked-out robotic form; and the two battle until MetalSamamon nearly wins. But the coming of a giant robot named Fortress Maximus causes him to stop and exit the base; only to come face to face with the behemoth.

'Transformers: Crisis' Chapter 13; "The Change: Part 3":

(Author's Notes on Bottom)

"So, you want to upstage me, huh Fort Max?" I stated, and opened a channel to the base. "Operation: Fortress Distress begin!" I yelled, and the base started to creak and shift. The Transformers on the battlefield stopped fighting, and shifted their attention towards the changing base. "It's no base, it's a robot!" Rail Racer proclaimed as he pointed to the transforming base. Parts shifted and moved, other rotated and combined until a massive robotic form came into being. "Behold; Lavatron Embassy!" I announced and laughed; as Lavatron's eyes lit up. He slowly looked over at Fort Max, and reached behind his back to grab a giant wide-bladed sword. He struck Fort Max across the chest and sparks flew from his chest. Fort Max reached out and grabbed Lavatron's arm, and tore off a piece. "That's no problem; he has more than one mode...and more than one hand!" I yelled to Fort Max, and then Lavatron punched him with his smaller fist. Fort Max stumbled a bit, but regained his stance. Just then, Lavatron grabbed Fort Max, ripped off his head, and threw it aside. "Uh, that was pointless. He's a headmaster." I stated dumbfoundly. Fort Max swung wildly and whacked Lavatron in the side; causing him to fall. Both Destrongers and Autobots were sent scrabbling and running for cover. As Lavatron lay on the ground, it split the battlefield into sections with the transformers scattered on both sides of him. Finally, Lavatron began to move a bit, but realized that he was stuck. So, as Fort Max stumbled towards him he converted his sword into a cannon with the dome of the base as his barrel and fired a full-force shot into Fort Max; causing him to blow apart in a spectacular ball of fire and shattering him into a thousand pieces; showering the transformers below with debris and shards of metal. Just then, Lavatron went offline, and sank into the ground he was stuck in. "You fool! You wasted all of your energy!" I cried out as I flew above him.

At that moment, something dropped into my cockpit. "Man, can't you keep your parts together?" I asked T-AI rhetorically. I felt her move on top of me, and I realized that she was awake, and something was ticking in my cockpit. "Oh no..." I said as the grenade exploded in my cockpit; sending me crashing to the ground in a fiery ball. I bounced across the ground and skidded to a halt about 100 feet from where I hit the ground originally. "Ow...that hurt." I said. "MetalSamamon, mode-change to...Robot Mode!" I said as I transformed and stood up to see T-AI lying on the ground face-down in the dirt. I started to walk towards her, when I seen something familiar approaching me. "I'll be back for you; I have a more pressing matter right now."

"Well well, look who decided to show their treacherous face here..." I say as I see MysticalFlamingamon approach me. "You're a fine one to talk MetalSamamon!" He yells as he floats towards me and opens his third head on his right arm. "DARK BLASTER!" A blast of dark energy comes streaming towards me; and I simply dodge it and teleport in front of him. "Haven't you learned not to try to undermine me yet you long necked freak!" I said as I grabbed his neck and crunch it. "Please...let...me...explain!" He squeaks out as he tries to breathe. "No chance; you plotted against me ever since I left the Digi-World; now it's time for you to PAY!" I yelled as I tossed him to the ground. "You left us..." he said as he caught his breath and rubbed his neck with his hand-head. "How so?" I asked him as I walked towards him. "You've decided to abandon us and become a Transformer!" he started. "So?" I asked him. "Well, for starters, you don't say the name of your weapon when you use them anymore..." he stated. "I made it so I don't have to; personal programming change." I replied. "...And you transform!" he finished. "No, I mode-change. Some Digimon can do that; it's not technically 'Transforming' ". I replied, and shrugged my shoulders. MysticalFlamingamon threw his arms into the air in frustration. "The point is that you're nothing but a traitor...and so I'll think we'll help T-AI and the Autobots and destroy you and your lackeys!" Right after he said that I heard the words "Terra Destroyer!" and I turned towards the sound. "Oh shit!" I yelled as a glowing ball of fire came flying towards me and collided with me at high speed. I tumbled through the air and slammed into the ground, unable to move. I slowly regained my movement; and stood to my feet. "So, you want a battle, huh?" I clenched my fist in anger, "Let's dance!"

BlackWarGreymon hovered about 30 feet away from me and glared at me evilly. "I honestly can't fathom why you would dare turn against me." I stated. "We do as we are commanded; and MysticalFlamingamon is our commander." The expressionless warrior replied. "Don't you realize that I only put him in charge until my return to the Digi-World? You don't honestly think that I left for good...?" I asked him. He floated there for a moment; and then replied, "MysticalFlamingamon said that you weren't going to return." His response was sort-of a statement and a question. I shook my head in disbelief, "That no good long-necked freak; I knew it was a bad idea to leave him in charge; but my options were few..." I sighed. "Hmm..." BlackWarGreymon pondered and landed on the ground. "What is it you want me to do, Commander?" he asked me. I looked up and smiled, "Destroy all the Autobots...MysticalFlamingamon is MINE!"

I turned and began to walk away from BlackWarGreymon and looked for my traitorous friend; but he was no where to be found. Granted, the battlefield was split into a few sections by the body of Lavatron Embassy and I couldn't see all that was happening; but MysticalFlamingamon was a coward and rarely faced his enemies head-on. He was hiding somewhere; I just had to find him, and convince him to have the Digimon fight on my side against the Autobots; which was the exact opposite of what was happening. I took off and floated into the air; deploying my shields to protect me in case someone tried to fire upon me as I examined the fighting. Over in one section I seen Starscream and the seekers taking on some of the most fearsome Digimon I had in my command. "Trumph Sword!" Piedmon called out and the seekers cowered in fear form the attack; all except that one seeker...he stood his ground and was badly damaged by the attack. As he fell to the ground, he managed to dig his foot into the ground and rise back to his feet slowly. "Is that all you got; you freak!" he asked the Mega-level Digimon. Piedmon merely laughed; "Why no; that's not all I got..." he said and raised his arm into the air, "CLOWN TRICK!" But the seeker was ready for this attack; and with his superior agility managed to dodge the attack and swooped down towards the digimon. "The last thing you'll ever hear is the sound of my name..." he began as his fists began to glow and smoke. "...Stormcloud!" And with that he shot a powerful blast of energy from his glowing fist and it shot straight through Piedmon. "AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Piedmon screamed in pain; but his powers were no match to stop the powerful Transformer. He began to break apart into data and soon disappeared altogether.

"Hmm..." I pondered to myself as I hovered high above, "He's no ordinary seeker; I need to know more..." I stated as my attention was drawn elsewhere by the sound of blasts. I turned to my left to see another battle taking place; this time between MetalSeadramon and Destructor. They had combined already and engaged in fierce battle with this powerful digimon. MetalSeadramon lunged at Destructor and plowed into him at full force. He curled back into a striking position and snarled at the combined transformer as he laid helpless on the ground. "RIVER OF POWER!" a lightning bolt shot from MetalSeadramon's head and hit its mark. Destructor was blown apart into numerous pieces; and MetalSeadramon sneered with delight. "These Transformers are weaklings! I can't believe how easily they fall!" I merely squinted at him in response out of his view. "Yeah...but you're destroying the wrong Transformers..." I sighed. I looked over my shoulder to a different battleground and seen Ultra Magnus and Machinedramon attacking Scourge. "GIGA CANNON!" A mega blast of energy shot from Machinedramon and collided with Scourge's sword; sending him flying against a wall. "Give up Decepticon; it's over!" Ultra Magnus commanded to deaf ears. Scourge quickly rebounded and launched his shoulder rockets at the pair of attackers. "Do you take me for a fool Magnus? I will not surrender; and I'm now a Destronger." I smiled at the statement and at the rockets blasting Machinedramon and Magnus into the air and causing them to bounce off the ground as they hit hard. Over in a different area; I seen a familiar face; actually two. "Wha in da name of my exhaust are ya?" Bustlitt asked the digimon approaching him. "My name is Puppetmon; and this is what I'm famous for..." He raised his hammer above his head, "PUPPET HAMMER!" He smashed it into the ground and it sent out a beam that flew towards Bustlitt's head. The last thing Bustlitt saw was the bright light that came from the blast. "GAAAWWWW!" He cried out in pain and fell backwards grabbing his face in pain and screaming. "My optics! MY OPTICS!" He screamed as he removed his hands from in front of his face; and there was nothing but an empty hole where his eyes used to be. The top of his head was slightly peeled back, and the hyena head was slightly damaged as well. Puppetmon laughed cruelly to himself, and ran away with a big grin upon his face. There was so much fighting going on I couldn't observe it all; but at the same time I had my own agenda to attend to.

I finally spotted MysticalFlamingamon hiding near the leg of Lavatron in a shadowy area. I laughed and dove towards him. I moved so fast that it totally caught him off guard and he shrieked like a schoolgirl. "Coward! You no good long-necked traitor!" I screamed as I ran up to him and choked him against the wall. "Please MetalSamamon...stop! I can explain!" He said as I continued to squeeze harder. "I heard this song and dance before you no good lousy wimp! Prepare to die!" I began banging his head against the wall and pounding him into the wall with all my strength. "O.K.! I'll...stop...them...I'll...fight...for...you!" He cried out in-between hits against the wall. I stopped and dropped the bleeding coward to the ground. "This had better be good, or expect more of what just happened." I stated and made a gesture with my hand. "I'll do anything! Please!" He begged me as he looked at me through his one open eye; the other was swollen shut. "Anything...?" I queried. "Name it! What do you want from me MetalSamamon?" MysticalFlamingamon asked me. "I want you to destroy the Autobots; and then go back to the Digi-World!" I stated. He sniveled and moved slightly; "Alright; give...them the...command..."Operation: Reverse." MysticalFlamingamon told me. "I've taught you well..." I commented and winked at MysticalFlamingamon. He sat there breathing heavily and hurt, but said nothing. I immediately took to the air and called out the operation that he just told me, and drew looks from the Digimon under my command. "He's...he's back!" Puppetmon cried out as he looked up at me. "You heard the mon; destroy the Autobots!" ReverseMyotismon yelled and turned to see Skid-Z and Tow-line standing behind them.

"Wait; I thought they were on our side!" Skid-Z yelled. "Not anymore!" Tow-Line hastily replied and ran for his life, but to no avail. "Opal Lightning!" He called out as his reverse-colored lightning whip extended from his hand and sliced Skid-Z in half. "NOOOOO!" Tow-Line cried out and turned around to attack ReverseMyotismon but met the same fate as Skid-Z. Both Autobots laid on the ground dead and in pieces as the two Digimon laughed cruelly. "Heroes...my favorite!" Puppetmon added and laughed at the dead bodies that lay before him. In a different section; Ultra Magnus was now being attacked by Scourge and Machinedramon. "In the name of Primus; no! This can't be happening!" He shook in fear as the two attackers bounded towards him and Scourge's sword plunged deep into Ultra Magnus's hide. Magnus screamed in pain and grabbed the blade of the sword; but then Machinedramon added in his attack and blasted Magnus clear to pieces off of the end of Scourge's sword; leaving only a dead husk of the former Autobot warrior on the ground smoking. Scourge turned to Machinedramon and gave him a thumb's up. "Nice work; my friend. It's good to see that you chose the right side to fight on." Scourge commented. "I was only obeying orders; besides you are a valiant warrior; too bad you weren't a digimon." Machinedramon commented as they walked past Magnus burning corpse. "The same could be said for you as a Transformer..." Scourge said, and laughed. Machinedramon joined in the laugh; and they continued on together in search of new prey. I scanned the battlefield to see that there were only 2 Autobots left standing; the rest were lying on the ground dead with either their sparks gone, or in stasis-lock too far damaged to fight on. "Yes!" I smiled and landed onto the ground near the place where I had originally taken off from. I walked over to one of the two last Autobots; Hot Shot. He looked up at me as my shadow cast over him like a dark cloud of doom. "Any final words?" I asked him. He merely looked up at me and spit out some oil, "EAT SLAG!" He yelled in defiance. "Stupid Autobots; you never learn." I converted my hand into a sharp pole. "DEATH SPEAR!" I called out my power and shot a spike right through Hot Shot. He died on the end of my pole screaming until his life waned away.

I turned my attention to the last remaining Autobot; Optimus Prime. Around him lay the defeated Browning 2 and Jetflight. He was damaged, but still standing ready to fight it out to the bitter end. "My, for a dying species; you outlasted your Autobot kind." I commented and converted my spike into a hand. I lunged towards him, and our fists met midway; although I was a lot smaller than him and his fists were huge in comparison to mine. "You fight well MetalSamamon; too bad you're going to have to be destroyed." Optimus told me as he locked fists with me. "So you think; you're a fool Optimus." I countered. "Not as much of a fool as you for freeing Galvatron from that asteriod prison." He retorted. "WHAT! You honestly believed that he was sent to that run-down asteriod prison!" I asked him as I moved to unlock our fists and floated away from him. "Yes...why?" He queried. "He was originally sent there; but then they moved him to the one on Cybertron after they realized that it wasn't big enough for him." "So, that's why he wasn't there when I asked them about his condition...those liars!" Optimus stated and slammed his fist in his hand. "What ever happened to him?" "After I freed him, he tried to use me as one of his pawns. I wiped out his memory along with Prowler's and Gigatron's, and gave him a new body and new memories as Megatron." I said; and smiled a little at my own brilliance. "Good; that's one less foe for me to worry about; but as for you..." He said and shot me with his ladder cannon; I dodged the blasts, "...You're under arrest as well!" "Ha! Any other good jokes!" I replied as fired my cannons at him. He blocked them, but the damage from them was apparent. "You..are...a fool MetalSamamon! Go back where you came from!" He said and launched his fist at me. This caught me by surprise; and hit me directly in the chest. I flew with it all the way to the ground and ended up embedded a few feet into the terrain.

"Cute, Optimus, cute." I commented; and threw his fist off from onto of me. I freed myself from the ground with great discomfort; and stood to my feet. Just then I seen Gigatron coming. "Have the other Autobots fallen?" He asked me as I brushed the dirt off of myself. "Yeah; but what's it to you?" I asked him. "Oh, nothing. I just wanted to know..." He smiled sneakily, and walked away leaving me only to wonder what that meant. He approached the last standing Autobot and all I could do was stand there and watch. But not for long, for I heard a noise come from just a few feet away. It was T-AI; she'd regained conscience and began to rise to her feet. I quickly ran over to her and kicked her in the stomach; causing her to fall back down and cry out in agony. "Why? Why must you act like such a lunatic?" I asked her and converted my arm into a cannon. As I aimed it at her head; I seen tears form in her optics. "What...?" I asked myself out loud, "Robots don't cry." "There's a lot you don't understand MetalSamamon; and probably even more you never will." She commented through her tears. "You killed the one and only robot I loved..." she began. I tilted my head in question. "You don't mean..." I began. "Yes, Side Burn!" she replied, and began to ball into her hands. "That explains a lot...nothing worse than a lover scorned." I commented. "Not only that MetalSamamon; but something else as well..." she said as her tears stopped and she looked up at me. "And that would be...?" I asked her. "You underestimated me!" she said and punched me in the stomach. I grabbed my stomach in pain and stumbled back a few steps. "Crummy females! No wonder I chose to be alone after I became a digimon!" I yelled and kicked her in the face, causing her to fall onto her back. Her head bounced off of the hard ground and her optics turned off. "Finally; and stay dead!" I yelled, and returned my attention to destroying her with my cannon. "Now, to finish what I started..." I said as I stood above T-AI. I smiled cruelly as I began to power up the cannon for my most powerful blast ever. Just then I start to short out, and fell to the ground in pain.

"Systems...diagnostic...my circuits...only!" I cried out as I twitched in pain. "Power cells extremely low; recharge immediately." My computer told me, and my only response was "Not now!" T-AI rose to her feet slowly; and grabbed a gun from her hip. "So, let's see how you like it MetalSamamon!" she says as she starts blasting me. "AAARRRGGHHHH!" I scream through as I gritted my teeth and began to take on severe damage. She grins slyly as she stands to her feet fully; but wobbly, and continues firing as fast as her fingers can pull the trigger. Parts of my face begin breaking off, and my body was full of holes and tears. "Don't...expect...me to...beg...for...mercy!" I cried out as I tried to fire back, but my cannons gave out a sputter of a red glow. "No more MetalSamamon; it ends here and now!" Just then, a shadowy figure leaps towards T-AI. "Dozenkillezia, Terrorize! Vulture Mode!" She yells and flies into the air and lands on top of T-AI; knocking her to the ground. "Wooly Rhino Mode!" She then transforms and starts goring T-AI into the ground with her horn. "That's my man!" Dozenkillezia states boldly as she grinds T-AI into the ground with all her strength. "Battle-Robot Mode!" she yells and transforms into her fighting form and starts blasting T-AI to pieces. "You will leave him alone! You mess with him; YOU MESS WITH ME!" she finishes and kicks T-AI limp body across the ground.

"Power cells; begin charge." I stated as I tried to move, but then severe paralysis set in. "Unable to comply; systems damage beyond repair. Systems failure imminent." The computer told me. Dozenkillezia rushed over to me. "MS, Gigatron's nearly defeated Optimus! We've won!" She said, and then realized just how damaged I was. "MS, are you alright?" "No, I ...can't...recharge...my...power...cells. I'm...going...to..." I started, but by then it began to happen. "What? WHAT!" She yelled as she tried to grab me but my body began to glow, and she stepped back. When my glow faded, I laid there on the ground nearly out of energy. "What...!" She muttered in shock. "...Dedigivolve." I said as I laid there as Monkemon, my rookie form.

"Well Optimus; it appears that it comes down to you and me." Gigatron said as he stood upon Optimus's badly damaged torso. "You...are nothing...more than a...fake!" Optimus stated in defiance. "That's always been your problem, Prime. You've never wanted to accept the inevitable, and you've never seen things for what they really are." Gigatron shook his head in shame. "What...do you...mean?" Optimus asked him, his mouth piece badly damaged and his vocals giving out. "You still haven't figured it out, have you?" Gigatron asked him, and leaned a little closer to Optimus's face. "Here..." Gigatron said as his voice changed, "...maybe this will refresh your memory." Optimus's jaw dropped, and he sat there speechless for a moment. "I know that voice; I know it!" I cried out; but I was so exhausted and nearly dead that I couldn't think; nor did I have any of my old memories. Dozenkillezia looked at me and shrugs her shoulders in confusion. "It...it can't be!" Optimus cried out. "Yes, Prime. You finally understand." Gigatron sneered as he grabbed Prime's matrix with both hands. "You should have killed me in the center of the Earth!" Optimus screamed in terror at the stark realization of just who Gigatron was, and as he did Gigatron tore out his Matrix, and held it above his head triumphantly. Prime's head dropped to the ground as he died. "YES! PRIME IS DEAD! THE MATRIX IS MINE! THE AUTOBOTS HAVE FALLEN! NO ONE CAN STOP ME NOW! THE UNIVERSE SHALL BE NEXT!"

To be continued…?
