Isaiah's POV
"Shit…," I said as Dullindel fired his cannon at us three. "MOVE!" I screamed as we dodged his attack. The result caused us all to jump onto different platforms.
"What is that?!" Alyssa screamed.
"I call it a Vampiric Ribbon!" Dullindel exclaimed as he fired it again. "It sucks the living energy out of a person and converts it into energy projectiles!"
"Anyone got anything to stop that?!" Alana inquired as she jumped away from an energy blast.
"I've got an Ion blaster," I replied as I brought it out. "I don't think it'll work against that though!" I dodged an energy blast as I said this. "What about you Alyssa?"
"I can create an armada of swords and have them rain from the sky at will!" She responded, forming a bunch of broad swords and fired them at Dullindel.
"None of those will work against me!" he exclaimed, charging his blaster. "The whole universe will bow before me, Zeta Prime!"
"Zeta Prime?" I remarked as I transformed and pulled out my shield, causing it to deflect the energy shot at me. "What're you talking about? You're not Zeta Prime!" I pulled out my sword and slashed at the Vampiric ribbon. "I saw Zeta Prime die when Megatron-"
"What am I talking about?!" Dullindel exclaimed, "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK LIKE THAT TO THE ONE WHO MADE YOU WHO YOU ARE TODAY!" His body began to glow. "What you saw that day was not me but rather a clone that took my place!" His body began to grow and change. "Instead, I left Cybertron and came to this miserable dirtball of a planet, where I would bide my time and prepare for when the time was right to reconquer Cybertron!" He stopped glowing when he was about 38 ft tall, revealing his true form as Zeta Prime, "And Behemoth is the key to reconquering Cybertron!"
"What's going on?!" Alyssa exclaimed as she and Alana flew down next to me. "One minute, you two are fighting, then next thing we know, he starts going Ultraman!"
"I'll explain later," I replied, "Right now, you girls better get to safety!"
Alana shook her head, "No! We're staying and fighting alongside you, Older Brother!"
Alyssa transformed into a Super Chicana in her Lightning Sapphire form, "You once said that you would protect us no matter what. Well, we're taking that oath too! If we're going to fight Zeta Prime, we fight him as a family!" I looked at them and was going to tell them something but then I realized that they were right.
"You're right," I said, smiling beneath my faceplate, "If we're taking him down, then we take him down together!" I closed my eyes as I transformed into a Super Chicano as Optimus Prime. (Victory Leo but with Optimus Prime's head and lion head on the chest)
"Are you ready to die, Mexicans?" Zeta Prime bellowed as he charged his ribbon.
"You're the one who's dying here, you overgrown, cheesy-talking shitlord!" I screamed as I transformed into a lion. "No more innocent people, be they human or robot, will ever fall victim to you again!" All three of us charged at him with the intent to kill.
"Pathetic," Zeta Prime whispered as he fired a gravity bolt at us all at once, pinning us all against a wall, leaving us helpless as he walked up to us. "And to think that I chose you as my successor over Ultra Magnus." He turned to me. "It's too bad," he chuckled, "I was hoping that perhaps you and I could stand together, Prime by Prime, and conquer the Universe together."
"You're a fool, Zeta Prime if you had hoped for that," I growled, still in my winged Lion mode. "We both know that I would've never agreed to that, even if the war had never broken out on Cybertron." I attempted to pull myself off the wall, "Besides," I whispered, "You were never a true Prime." I looked at him in the optics. "You only became a Prime because the Senate chose you, you played on their fears just like you did with America when you ran for President."
"Your honor is still annoying as ever, Orion." Zeta Prime sneered. "Always believing that freedom was the right of all sentient beings and whatnot."
"That's because it is, Zeta Prime!" I exclaimed, transforming back into my humanoid form. "If you took away these unalienable rights, you'd be no better than Megatron!"
"If only you had somebody to help you right now." Zeta taunted. "Then you might stand a chance against me." He aimed the Parasitic Ribbon at us, "Any last words?" None of us said anything. "No?" He commented, putting a hand to one of his audio receptors. "Very well, then." He began to charge the ribbon, "Say hello to Nominus Prime for me." By then the gravitational force holding us to the wall had weakened to the point where we could easily break off.
I smiled before saying a term that Jazz used to say before I died, "That a fact, Jack?" Zeta looked at me in confusion before getting kicked in the faceplate. The impact caused him to misfire and hit the ceiling. I grabbed my sisters and jumped off the wall, landing thirteen feet in front of Zeta Prime.
"You think you can stop me?!" he growled as he got up, "I know who you are, Orion Pax! I know everything about you!" He transformed into his alt-mode, which was an alien flying tank. "Like how you never liked a weaponized alt-mode!" he fired his cannon toward us only for me to use my two cannons and neutralize the blast.
"You're right about one thing, Zeta Prime," I said, transforming back into Optimus Prime, "You knew everything about me before I died." I pressed a button on my sword, converting from a sword to an Aztec war club. "Everything about me when I was a Cybertronian, perhaps." I took off my faceplate and drank an entire bottle of Jarritos, Fruit Punch flavored, "But you don't know a thing about the current me. The human me that's standing in front of you right now." I put my faceplate back on and screamed, "Aztec Style: Quetzalcoatl's Fury!" With that, I zoomed towards Zeta Prime and slashed at his left shoulder before dodging a blast from the ribbon.
"Count us in too!" Alyss screamed as she formed an entire armada of swords before screaming, "Saber dance!" The Swords that appeared around her then pointed towards Zeta Prime and shot off in his direction.
"Don't forget about me!" Alana exclaimed as she shot energy projectiles from her hands. "Dragon Fire!"
"ENOUGH!" Zeta Prime screamed, sending both Alyssa and Alana against a wall, causing them to turn back to normal. "This is mine and Pax's fight!" He turned to me before firing his ribbon again only to find out that it was a mirage. "What-?!" he said before getting cut on his right leg by my war club. "Not this time!" he screamed as he fired the Vampiric Ribbon at where I was going to next. This caused me to change course and instead hit Zeta Prime in the aft with my club.
"Sucks doesn't it?" I said as I stayed in the shadows, "Not being able to know when your opponent will strike next?" I sped toward him and sliced at his wounded leg, causing him to fall on one knee.
"Let's not put this off any longer," Zeta Prime suggested as he stood up again. He looked at me in the eyes and said, "You and me, Pax. You, me, and destiny."
"Don't worry guys," I put out my hand in a show of defending my sisters. "If he's all that's between us and freedom, Zeta Prime doesn't stand chance." I put my fists and said, "I've got this."
"I don't think you know what you got...," Zeta Prime said before glowing, "or rather, who." He stopped glowing only to reveal that he had changed into Maccadam.
"Maccadam!?" I screamed, stopping for a moment.
"Are you sure?" Maccadam asked as he changed into another familiar bot.
"Alpha Trion?" I remarked, shocked at seeing my old mentor.
"I made you what you are, Orion." Zeta Prime then punched me as Alpha Trion. "I made all of who you are today." He then created a shadow copy of Alyssa and Alana each in their powered-up forms, who then proceeded to attack their real counterparts.
Amalgamous' POV
I woke up from my nap as vibration shook the trailer I was in. The last thing I remember before conking out was hearing voices from outside my current prison. Ever since I came to this… alternate universe, I've been captured in some kind of way or another. The first time I was captured was when I first arrived here and this weird Decepticon guy named Deathsaurus caught me and brought me to Cybertron, where I almost ended up being killed by this giant metal planet called Unicron, only for me to awaken my powers as I was being taken there. I ended up escaping Cybertron and ended up on Earth only for TAI to be partially corrupted by some virus the Decepticons had put in her.
After that, I ended up being discovered by this group who called themselves, "Salem's Inner Circle". These nutjobs wanted to resurrect this powerful witch named Salem and believed that the power of the Primes was the only way to bring her back. I escaped luckily by tricking my captors. Here's how it happened:
I was running away from a green-haired girl and grey-haired boy when I found a really large rock to hide behind. "Mercury!" the girl ordered, "circle right, I'll go the other way." I hid behind the rock and transformed into the girl.
"What the?!" Mercury exclaimed as he walked up only to find her, "Emerald?! Where'd that little brat go?!"
"You must have let him slip past you," I replied, perfectly mimicking Emerald's voice in that form. "Circle the other way back." Mercury did so as I silently chuckled to myself only to hear that Emerald girl walking to where I was. Thinking fast, I shapeshifted into Mercury seconds before she saw me.
"Where did the Prime go?" I heard Emerald say as she walked up to me"You let him get by you?!" she scolded as she hit me on the head.
"Maybe he snuck past you," I commented.
I waited until Emerald turned around to assume her form and walked in the opposite direction. I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw that Mercury was confused as to who was the real Emerald. He then ran up to the real Emerald and put her in a headlock. She noticed this and screamed as Mercury grabbed her by the hair and started pulling hard.
"Let go! LET GO!" She screamed as Mercury realized that she was the real one.
"Where's the brat?!" Mercury inquired as he let go of her.
"How should I know?" Emerald replied, "I told you to go that way!" she pointed right as she said this.
"You told me to go the other way!" Mercury yelled, pointing left. It was then that they realized that they were duped as they saw me running away from them, laughing my butt off.
"Shapeshifting!" I commented as I ran off, "Makes being a reincarnated Prime almost worth it!"
Fast forward to the present day, I still managed to get captured. This time, by people who claim they're reincarnated Primes like me. So that was nice. What could I do though? I couldn't shapeshift my way out of these cuffs, that Solus Prime girl said so. I was about to give up hope when the trailer opened up, causing my eyes to burn as they adjusted to the light.
"Get up." a voice sounding almost like Scourge's but younger and less welcoming. I looked up and saw a guy that had medium-short black hair and red eyes who was wearing a black punk outfit as if to signify that he was emo. "I said 'get up'" he said, grabbing by the wrist and pulled me out of the trailer.
"What's going on?" I asked as I looked around. I appeared to be in a base that was located in some kind of warehouse. I looked and saw a Japanese girl with pigtails, a kid wearing some sort of futuristic bike get up, another guy wearing a blue t-shirt and black jeans, and a small 9-year-old male who wore futuristic clothing.
"We'll be asking the questions, Newbie" the Bike dude replied. "Like who you are and why were you avoiding us since you got here?"
"Easy Kicker," The girl interjected, "The guy just barely woke up." I sighed as I heard this.
"Still," the sweater guy added, "I think it's best if we were to talk to him, Miko." Miko made a face as my guard released me from my handcuffs. This caused the sweater kid and Kicker to pull out guns and aim them at me.
"The hell are you doing Neo?" Sweater boy exclaimed as Neo looked at him.
"He won't talk unless we make him feel welcome, Russell," Neo replied. "Besides," he continued, "I don't think he'll run away." He turned toward me as if expecting an answer from me. I didn't know what to say about this. "Put the guns down, you two," Neo ordered. "I don't care if Isaiah made you the temporary leader Russell," he continued, "If we're going to get the new guy here on our side, then we should at least set up some trust first." At first, nothing happened. Then, Russell put his gun away reluctantly. Kicker soon followed.
"Well, now what?" Future Kid asked, "What do we do with him?"
"That's up to him, Daniel," Neo replied, turning to me. "So what do you want kiddo?" I said nothing for a little bit while I weighed my options. If I agreed to stay and help them, then I would probably be kept under a keen eye and have my actions monitored. If I ran off, then there was the chance that either the Decepticons or that Salem group would try and get me. I looked at Neo's extended hand.
"I'll stay," I replied, "On the condition that TAI is repaired." About every guy except for Neo and that girl Miko looked at me in confusion.
"He said he'll stay," Neo replied. I grabbed his hand and shook it. "Welcome to the Primes, Koji."
"What now?" I inquired as I looked at Neo.
"Now," he replied, "We go and find out what the hell's going on downtown." That piqued my interest quickly.
"It appears that our old friend Bruticus Maximus has arrived along with King Poseiden and are currently trashing everything as we speak," Miko replied as she looked at the monitor which had an image of a Decepticon and Predacon combiner destroying everything in sight.
"You ready Newbie?" Kicker asked as he, Neo, Russell, Miko, and Daniel all lined up and pulled out Autobot badges.
"Prime within," They all exclaimed as they did some fancy poses, "Awaken!" Then a bright light erupted from them and died away just as fast to reveal that they had transformed into these so-called Primes.
"Your turn, Newbie." Kicker said as they looked at me.
Hesitantly, I too pulled out my badge and exclaimed, "Prime Within, Awaken!" After the light died down I was shocked at my new form. I had a mouth covering on my mouth the same way Optimus did. I had some sort of antennae covering my ears as well as clawed hands. I tried to take a step forward only to find out that my body was now similar to Prowl's body.
"That's the most bizarre form I have ever seen." Kicker said. "By the way, Newbie," he continued, "It'll be best for all of us if you referred to us by our Prime names instead of our actual names. He pointed to himself and said, "Call me Nova Prime."
"I'm Solus Prime," Miko said as she pulled out a sledgehammer.
"Name's Onyx Prime," Russell remarked as he spread his wings out.
"Sentinel Prime's the name," Daniel commented as he pulled out his scythe, "And beating 'cons is my game."
I turned toward Neo and said, "Scourge, I assume?"
Neo simply shook his head and said, "I'm Nemesis Prime. Scourge was a Sweep who ended up being blasted to pieces by an Autobot known as Skyfire." He then turned towards Russell and said, "You may give the order when ready."
"Primes," Onyx Prime exclaimed as he transformed into a large metallic bird, "Transform and Roll Out!" With that, all of the primes except for me transformed into their vehicle modes.
"What're you waiting for?" Nova inquired. "Transform already!" I thought about what form I would take when I remembered Prowl's police car mode. Without thinking, I transformed into a Japanese police car.
"Let's roll out!" Russell screeched as we drove off to fight both Bruticus and King Poseidon.
Isaiah's POV
"You're fighting me when you should be helping me." Zeta said as he uppercutted me, "The legacy of the Primes, countless worlds waiting to be conquered in Cybertron's name, all rest within me." He kicked me in the face, "We're the masters, Orion Pax!"
"Who's that guy?" Alyssa asked as she stopped for a moment to see what was going on. "I thought we were fighting Zeta Prime." She then began dodging a set of shadow sabers from her dark counterpart.
"It is Zeta Prime!" Alana replied as she tried to hold her dark copy back, "He's psychologically attacking Older Brother by assuming forms of people he knew in his past life!"
"I can feel it," Zeta Prime continued as he punched me in the face, "You admired Alpha Trion. You looked up to him as if he were Primus himself. And why shouldn't you? After all, he helped you become who you are today." He glowed once more only to reveal that he had changed into me. The Cybertronian me. The one that had died on Cybertron only to be reborn as a human. "A Prime!" He then elbowed me in the head.
Paris, France
"What's the deal, M'lady?" Cat Noir asked Ladybug.
"New Akuma attack, Kitty!" Ladybug replied as they looked at the latest Akuma attack. Or in this case, Akumacon. Ever since the appearance of that Optimus Prime guy, there have been unique Akumatizations. Like Devil Saviour, the Akumatization combined form of the Constructicons. Those guys wanted to simply show the world that not all Decepticons were bad and even tried to prove it by fixing any damage that was found on the Eiffel tower. The only thing that stopped them was by looking at Cat Noir (It turned out that Split, aka Mixmaster, had a deathly fear of cats).
In this case, it was a set of former Autobots that called themselves the "Technobots" and after being humiliated by a certain Italian girl, they all combined and became the Akumacon known as Quantron. Their goal was to make Paris a literal city of tomorrow by cyberforming and upgrading the entire city.
Before any of them could do anything, however, a green portal opened under Cat Noir and sucked him in.
Echo Creek, California
"-And that's how I found out that Marco's cousin, Isaiah Valenzuela, was the hacker known as Zero," Janna said as she laid on the couch telling her friends, Star Butterfly and Marco Diaz, about how she met Isaiah and her adventure with him.
"He sounds like an awesome guy!" Star commented excitedly, completely unaware that the term "hacker" that Janna was using meant an entirely different thing than the one where someone would hack someone's limbs off. "I would love to meet him!" Star exclaimed as her eyes became starry. She grabbed her dimensional scissors and exclaimed, "In fact, I think I will!"
"Whoa there, Star!" Marco said, "Isaiah's not the type who likes unexpected visitors- and she's gone already, isn't she?" he inquired Janna as he suddenly noticed that Star was gone.
"Took off before 'Safety Mode' was activated." The Filipino girl replied as she popped a popcorn kernel in her mouth.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Marco asked, getting a little irritated by what she said.
Meanwhile
"Huh," Star went as she walked around where she was. "I don't think this is Isaiah's house." She was currently in some kind of green tunnel that had some energy flowing through it. Before Star could say anything else, a voice spoke to her.
"It's not." A metallic voice said.
"Who said that?" Star inquired as she looked around to find the source of the voice.
"I did." the voice said, this time appearing to come from behind her. The Butterfly turned around to see a very unusual sight, which was saying a lot. Behind her was what Marco had called a "Dinosaur" that seemed to be made of metal. Judging from its appearance, it had the form that everyone called a long neck dinosaur.
"You're big," Star noted as she looked at the metallic being, "Not as big as Globgor, though."
"I assure you," The dinosaur replied, "I am much bigger than Globgor in my true body."
Egypt, Africa
Frisk dodged her opponent's attack, which wasn't easy because Sans was ridiculously overpowered.
"Givin' up already?" Sans inquired as he aimed another one of his skull blasters toward Frisk's intended destination.
"Not on your life, Bone bag" Frisk replied as her personality shifted to Chara's. She jumped and was about to stab Sans when a green portal opened between her and Sans. Before Chara could do anything though, she fell into the portal which closed immediately after she entered it.
New Zealand
"What the-?!" Mata Nui exclaimed as a green vortex opened under him and sucked him into it.
Vale, Brazil
"Neo" Roman said as he walked up to where he thought he saw his companion. She had disappeared when he turned away to light another cigar. "Now where the hell is she?" he wondered, scratching his head. Unbeknownst to him, the mute girl had been sucked into a green portal.
"Ya ready to do this heist, boss?" One of Roman's thugs asked.
"I say we don't do this heist until I find Neo!" Roman growled. "That's an order!"
Tokyo, Japan
"Ren!" Futaba screamed as a green portal opened up beneath the Phantom Thief leader, causing him to fall into it.
Behemoth, Mexico
"Gah!" I groaned as I fell to the floor. Could use some help right about now. I thought as I looked at what was now Behemoth's insides. Behemoth I thought as I tried to get back up. If you can hear me, then I would like you to get some help right now.I looked around only to see Zeta Prime walking toward me.
"Do you see Orion?" Zeta inquired as he kicked my body. "Do you see what I'm trying to teach you?" He uppercut me. "I'm you. I'm what you could be if you gave in-if you stopped resisting." Zeta Prime was about to attack when he felt an energy blast hit him in the back. He turned around to see 6 individuals.
"That Behemoth guy was right about you." a voice I recognized spoke. "You are the literal type." I looked up to see Star Butterfly, my cousin Marco's girlfriend. There were other people too: almost everyone from that Shadow Dragon incident except for that grey-haired dude was there. (There was a pink and brown-eyed girl instead.)
"You dare lay hands on me?!" Zeta growled as he pulled out my Ion blaster and fired at them all. "You will fall at the hands of Zeta Prime!"
"I would be careful if I were you," the Toa dude said, "Arrogance can topple even the largest of giants!" He pulled out his shield and deflected the blast.
"Nothing can topple Zeta Prime!" Zeta exclaimed as he charged at the new arrivals only to be shot at by someone who wore some sort of masquerade mask and clothing that made him resemble a thief. "Little humans," Zeta Prime laughed, "This planet never ceases to amuse me!"
"Really?" The cat cosplayer went, "Then why don't we skip to the punch-line?" He then proceeded to punch Zeta in the face only for him to hurt his hand. "That wasn't purr-fectly executed."
Your puns are pawful, The ice cream girl motioned as she fired her umbrella at Shadow Alana, And you smell like cheese! This caused the guy to look at her all weird.
"He doesn't understand you, Jane Doe," the Chara girl commented as she threw a knife at Shadow Alyssa, getting her attention. "He doesn't know that you're mute."
Meanwhile, Alyssa and Alana were trying to get me back on my feet. "Get up, Isaiah." Alyssa went as she grabbed me by the arm.
"I can't…." I groaned as I transformed back into my normal self. "I'm not strong enough."
"Yes, you are, Older Brother!" Alana exclaimed. "You are strong! Stronger than Zeta!"
"I can't beat him…." I continued, "I need more power!" My eyes began to glow blue as I spoke. "I need….Cybertron Mode!" My eyes flickered from blue to brown.
"You can beat Zeta Prime without Cybertron Mode!" Alyssa remarked as my transformation continued. "You can beat him even as a normal human!"
"How?" I asked, putting a hand over the right side of my face.
"By being you," Alana replied. "Do you know what Lacus said about you? She said that you never give in when your back's to the wall. You've been put to the test and yet it's still not enough for you! Don't you see?" She looked at me in the eyes and said, "You've got the Touch!"
"What?" I whispered.
"You've got the Power!" Alyssa screamed as she fired an energy projectile. "When all Hell's breaking loose, you'll be riding the eye of the storm!" I slowly began to get up. "You've got the heart! You've got the motion! And you know that when things get too tough, you got the Touch!"
Slowly, I began to realize that she was right. All those fights, be they human or Decepticon, they all showed that I would never give up no matter how many times I appeared to be beaten. "You're right," I said as I got up. "I've always been able to beat my opponents no matter how impossible the odds may seem." I started to glow. "From now on, instead of restraining myself, I'll instead go beyond and unleash my full power!" My body transformed into Optimus Prime. "I will defeat you Zeta Prime!" As I spoke Alyssa, Alana, and my bodies began to glow.
"We'll take him down, Isaiah," Alyssa said, becoming Lightning Sapphire once more. "Together!"
"And avenge our once mighty people!" Alana exclaimed.
"Combinación Triple!" We all screamed in Spanish together as our bodies changed form.
"Power of the Aztec Eagle!" Alyssa screamed as her armor shifted into an Aztec eagle knight's color scheme.
"Power of the Aztec Jaguar!" Alana screamed as she transformed into a female Jaguar Knight.
"Power of the Mammoth!" I screamed as my armor shifted from truck armor into Mammoth armor.
Lightning surrounded all three of us as everyone stopped what they were doing and watched us. Alyssa was first: her arms lifted as her wings flipped upside down as she flew high. Alana's upper torso did a 180 turn before rolling into a ball to reveal a face that was covered in war paint. Finally, I did a handstand as my crotch split open which caused my hands to become feet and my feet to become hands. Then Alyssa and Alana landed in the gap created by me like they were doing a totem pole landing. First, Alana, then Alyssa. A giant chest covered the parts where Alana was squatting in, completing the combination.
No one's POV
No one moved a muscle when the combination was over. The combined form just stood there without moving. "Who are you?" Zeta Prime demanded. When the being didn't reply, Zeta Prime growled, "I said, 'Identify yourself!'" Shadow Alyssa and Alana charged at the being only to be sliced into oblivion.
"I am the chosen warrior of Quetzacoatl, the guardian of Mexico," The figure spoke in a voice like Omnimon, "I am Magnaboss."
Neo's POV
"Eyes front, Autobots," Russell commented as we drove up to where the Decepticons were attacking. "Bruticus Maximus survived a blast to the chest from me while King Poseiden was ripped apart multiple times."
"In other words, watch your afts or else you'll end up with your loved ones prematurely." Kicker translated as he transformed and fired at Bruticus Maximus.
"Auto-what now?" Sentinel asked as he dodged a blast from King Poseiden.
"Autobots," I repeated, "It was the name of the Decepticon's enemy faction." I slid under Bruticus Maximus as I shot at him.
"Was?" I heard Lacus ask in the commlinks.
"They were wiped out when I was still with the Decepticons." I replied, "How did you even get on this channel anyway? This is a private link!" I fired my ion blaster at King Poseidon as I said this.
"Helpy and that TAI program gave me access to the commlinks so it would be more helpful if something other than an AI program and Android was able to give some battle information," Lacus replied.
"I thought you didn't like fighting, Lacus," Miko commented as she dodged a swipe from Tentakil (Both combiners had decided to split apart and attack us).
"I said I wouldn't fight unless it was necessary," She replied. "Also, You should hit Tentakil's tentacles, they're his main weapon and main defense, you take those out, he's calamari."
"I am kinda in the mood for seafood tonight." Kicker commented he shot at Lobclaw. "Anyone for Lobster Bisque?"
"Did you seriously ask that?" Russell inquired as he was at a standstill with the Combaticon Brawl. "I don't know about you, but I'm leaning towards some of that Menudo that Isaiah's always talking about."
"That stuff's amazing, let me tell you," Daniel said as he was at a firing duel with Onslaught and Turtler, who were in their alt-modes firing at Daniel, who was also in his walking twin cannon tank mode firing at them. "His sister Alana and I once went out for that stuff and as a special bonus, the cook let us have a hoof in each of ours!"
"You went out with Alana?!" Lacus screamed into the comms, causing us to stop what we were doing and allowing the Combiner teams to merge once again.
"It's not what you think, Lacus!" Daniel exclaimed as he dodged an oncoming blast. "We're just friends who like to hang out."
"Can we just return to the matter at hand?" I asked, pointing towards where Bruticus Maximus and King Poseiden were standing. They seemed to stop attacking us and instead began to proclaim something weird.
"You Primes are truly special indeed!" King Poseidon exclaimed as he spoke. "For you are here to witness our newest recruit!"
"Is it the Warriors Elite?" I inquired, bored. "Because I already took out Overlord so you're kinda down one guy."
"Not so!" Bruticus replied as he did a classic anime villain laugh ("FUFUFU!"), "For our newest recruit is Monstructor!"
"Say what now?" Kicker commented as we looked at them confused.
"GATTAI DESU!" six voices screamed behind us as we turned around only to see 6 Pretender Monsters merge into a more powerful form. The result was the combined form having a Frankenstein like appearance.
"I am Monstructor!" the combined entity exclaimed, "And all of you will bow before our combined might!"
"That's not good is it?" Russell went as Monstructor threw two of his fists down at us.
Behemoth, Mexico
At first, no one made a move. Then Magnaboss roared as he charged at Zeta Prime with his Magna club. The result was a large explosion as Joker, Neopolitan, Cat, Chara, Star, and Mata Nui were sent flying against a wall.
"What is that thing?" Cat asked as he covered his eyes to avoid being blinded. "It looks like one of those Akumacons I've fought before!"
It appears that Optimus Prime, Lighting Sapphire, and the Super Chicana girl have all merged to form some sort of Mexican Guardian. Neo motioned.
"You mean like those weird Decepticon combiners that we see on the TV?" Star asked as she summoned a shield to protect them from any debris.
"Seems like it…" Joker replied as he looked at the situation.
"It would be best if we were to not intervene in a battle such as this." Mata Nui commented. They all heard a loud clang that revealed Zeta Prime's left arm with the Vampiric Ribbon was torn off. Zeta Prime just stood there as a metal endoskeletal arm shot out of his severed arm, regenerating his lost limb.
"Surprised?" Zeta inquired as Magnaboss stood there. "My greatest trait is not my way with words or strength but rather my ability to bounce back from any injury." He then looked at Magnaboss. "I don't know how you managed to combine with two organics, Orion, but it won't be enough to stop me." He raised his Vampiric ribbon and fired at Magnaboss only for the shot to barely miss the Aztec Guardian and instead hit a wall. "I'll try again." Zeta Prime remarked.
He didn't notice that Magnaboss had teleported behind him until he turned his head to see the Guardian swing his war club at the former Prime. Magnaboss grabbed Zeta by the head, threw him to the ground, then proceeded to drag him fast until Magnaboss tried to stab Zeta Prime, who then summoned his blade and deflected it.
Zeta then landed a great distance away from the combined warrior and then tried to fire his ribbon at his opponent only for Magnaboss to catch the energy sphere and crush in his hand.
"Impossible," Zeta whispered as Magnaboss sliced him in half diagonally. Zeta Prime fell as Magnaboss looked at him. The Combined form of Isaiah, Alyssa, and Alana, then pointed his head down, the horns facing Zeta Prime. A red sphere then formed between the tips of Magnaboss's horns. "I should have known there would be no mercy…" Zeta said, "So typical of a Mexican…." A large explosion followed afterward, this time causing Behemoth to get involved as he formed a shield around the six people he had summoned.
Star looked in horror as she witnessed Magnaboss throw what was left of Zeta Prime. The combined warrior said nothing as he walked to where he had thrown his opponent. As Magnaboss stood there, raising his sword, ready for the killing blow-
"That's enough!" a voice that seemed to surround them spoke. "Your duty has been fulfilled, Magnaboss!" Magnaboss just looked at where the voice came from before putting his club away. It was then that he started to glow.
"I am the guardian of Mexico, Magnaboss," he said in Spanish, "Though I may disappear at this moment, I shall always live inside the hearts of all Mexicans." He looked at the 6 who were summoned by Behemoth and smiled, "We shall meet again, should Mexico's children ever feel threatened…" He continued to glow until he broke apart into 3 people, who were revealed to be in their base forms. Judging from how they looked, they were knocked from exhaustion. The combination must have drained them of energy.
For a moment no one spoke. Then Cat Noir asked a very good question. "So, what now?"
"I shall return you all to your original cities," Behemoth replied, "you are, however, forbidden to ever speak as to who raised me."
"What happens if we do?" Chara inquired.
"I will send a chupacabra after you…" The ancient Titan replied.
"A what now?" Star inquired, confused by what the Titan said.
"Ask your boyfriend that, Princess." Behemoth replied. As soon as he said that, he opened a punch of portals behind the 6 heroes.
"What about Zeta Prime?"Mata Nui asked. "What will happen to him?"
"I will send him far away from here," Behemoth said, "He is an essential piece in the Primes' journey."
"What do you mean by essential?" Joker asked.
"I know not his role in the coming future," The ancient Cybertronian spoke as a blue portal opened under Zeta Prime, his unconscious body falling into it, "I do know that everything you know of is connected to the ongoing struggle between Order and Chaos…"
"What?" Mata Nui went.
"I bid you all adios… Circle of Light…" With that, the 6 heroes were sent back to their countries of origin…
Isaiah's POV
I found myself inside the same void where I had first encountered Primus. "Primus?" I yelled into the void, expecting some kind of answer.
"Yes… and no" a voice that reminded me of Marlon Brando spoke. I looked behind me to see a group of giant robotic entities, Primus among them.
"What's going on here?" I asked, scared beyond all logic.
"These are the Guiding Hand, Isaiah," Primus replied. "They are all here to guide on you your journey to defeating Unicron."
"I am Adaptus," The one who looked like the Unicorn Gundam minus the head design. His Helm reminded me of Ironhide. Behind him were orbs that were constantly changing shape. "I will aid you in your many transformations." His voice reminded me of James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader.
"I am Mortilus," the robot who screamed death and goth in his design spoke. His voice reminded me of Morgan Freeman. "I will guide you as you experience the losses that you will encounter in your journey."
"I am Solomus," The robot who looked like he could be a wise sage or monk said. "I will bestow my wisdom upon you as you encounter many trials." His voice sounded like that of Mr. Miyagi.
"I am Eptistemus," The robot with giant glasses spoke, "I shall give you the knowledge needed to survive." His voice was the Marlon Brando one I heard earlier.
"I believe congratulations are in order." Primus, in his Peter Cullen voice, said.
"How so?" I asked, confused by what he said.
"You have managed to raise a titan, a herald of the Primes, with the help of your spark siblings," Mortilus replied. "That is a task that even a Prime such as yourself would have trouble accomplishing alone. Not only that, but you also managed to avenge your once mighty ancestral nation…"
"What does that mean for me and my sisters?" I asked. "What does that mean for Behemoth?"
"Behemoth is bound by an oath to serve the Primes," Adaptus explained, "That oath extends to you and your fellow Primes."
"Does that mean he can only be controlled by Primes?" I inquired, curious by this.
"Behemoth is different from his brethren," Solomus remarked. "While he is bound by oath to serve the Primes, he has also taken a new oath to heed the call of his saviors."
"Saviours?" I repeated, "Wouldn't that be-?"
"Mexico was Behemoth's savior because the people, upon finding him dying, nursed him back to health with everything that they had." Eptistemus commented. "As a result, he is forever indebted to Mexico's Children. A debt that extends to you, Isaiah Valenzuela and your sisters."
"What about Zeta Prime?" I asked, "What will become of him?" Nothing would make me more happy than to see the mechanical bastard suffer for his crimes.
"Zeta Prime will live for now," Primus asked, "He will live knowing that you have bested him in obtaining Behemoth."
"What about me and my sisters?" I asked. "What will happen to us?"
"Your physical bodies have been sent back to your home in Fresno. Behemoth now orbits Earth and will teleport you to him if you so request.." I wondered about this. This could be a new headquarters for the Primes in our search for the others. Or...
I heard a loud ringing as I was interrupted from my thoughts.
"It is time for you to awaken, Isaiah Valenzuela," Primus said. "But before you return to the real world, I must warn you."
"Warn me about what?" I inquired.
"Beware of the false Prime." All five Guiding Hand members said at once as I returned to reality.
"-Isaiah?" I heard a voice say as I opened my eyes. I saw my sisters and Lacus above my face, talking to each other.
"Can you hear me?" Lacus asked in that choppy voice that I used to do whenever I called her on the phone.
"Lacus Abigail Rebecca Webb," I moaned, "I can hear you loud and clear, so stop asking in that annoying voice!"
"He's okay!" Lacus exclaimed as she hugged me. "I thought you had died or something!" I could feel her grip getting stronger by the second.
"Can't... breathe…" I gasped as Lacus continued to squeeze even harder.
"Sorry!" Lacus said once she realized that she was hugging me to death (that woman has a strong grip!) "So what happened?" she asked as she let go.
"I'll explain later." I said, "First, tell me what's going on with the others." Lacus then realized what I had meant and showed me a screen that displayed the other's status.
"All of them, including the new Prime, went to fight Bruticus Maximus and King Posieden," Lacus began. "Who then proceeded to introduce some sort of Frankenstein combiner called Monstructor who is currently making mincemeat out of them."
"What am I doing here then?" I asked. "I should be out there helping them!" I tried to get out of bed only to fall down. "The hell?!" I exclaimed as I realized that I couldn't move. "How did I end up like this?!"
"For an Optimus, you sure are dense." I heard an unfamiliar voice say. I painfully turned my head to see a screen with a young girl's face on it. "You've drained yourself of all your energy from when you combined with your sisters."
"Who're you?" I asked, "I don't recall ever making you."
"This is TAI." Alyssa replied, "She came here along with one of your Prime buddies."
"Back to the matter at hand," I said, "I can't just simply lie here and let 3 combiners beat my friends up!" I tried to get up, this time with some of my strength returning.
"I don't think you'll have too…." I heard Gundam say. "Look." I turned my head to the screen.
Miko's POV
"That's just Prime," I heard Kicker say as I was lifted into the air by one of Monstructor's limbs.
"You just summed up all of our thoughts in one sentence, Nova" I commented before I was slapped by Burticus.
"No talking!" He exclaimed, "Not unless you want to die now!"
"Galvatron," King Poseiden spoke into the communicator, "We have captured the Primes!"
"Excellent," Galvatron replied from the hologram. "Show them to me." As soon as he saw all of us, he roared. "You fools! Where is Optimus Prime?!"
"He's not here, Lord Galvatron!" Bruticus reported, "When they got here, it was just these guys and-" Bruticus never got to finish his sentence, for he was blasted by something.
"Put the Prime down." I heard a familiar voice say I turned my head and saw-
"Anime?" I heard Kicker say.
"Put them all down or else the next one will be in your spark chamber, 'Con."
