Transformers Prime: The Final War.
Chapter 72: Birth of the Mecha Shadow Fury.
(Author's notes: Yes, this is about an evolution of the Predacon species, but this is merely inspired by the Rise of the TechnaFury story. I'm not trying to copyright anything. And just so you know, the new Predacon's name is Hexerscorch.
Enjoy chapter 72: Birth of the Mecha Shadow Fury.)
As Corvowing awoke before everyone else, he wondered to something that had been echoing in his head: Optimus saying that the Autobots need an additional Predacon in the ranks.
Corvowing looks at the large Predacon talon he packed with him during his trip to Earth.
It was a gift from Alpha Trion that he claims was from the only Predacon species that evolved beyond even the likes of the current Predaking.
This Predacon species was called the Mechalogicus Tripredacus Furious, also known as the Mecha Shadow Fury.
As Corvowing walks into the command center, he finds that Ratchet and Optimus are already there with the other scientists, discussing matters at hand.
Optimus notices Corvowing carrying the large talon and asks, "What is that you have there, Corvowing?"
Ratchet notices and he goes slack-jawed at the size of the talon.
Corvowing asks in reply, "Optimus, are you aware of the Mechalogicus Tripredacus Furious, also known as the Mecha Shadow Fury?"
Optimus' optics widened in shock before he answers before questioning, "I'm aware, but how did you know?"
Corvowing answers, "Alpha Trion told me about it because he didn't fully trust Smokescreen yet. Alpha Trion told me that this hails from the only Predacon in existence that evolved beyond even the current Predaking. This Predacon would've surely multiplied, but this Predacon went extinct with the others during the Great Cataclysm. I was hoping this one could be cloned for the Autobot cause."
Ratchet gingerly takes the talon, and after scanning it, he announces, "There's enough C.N.A. to make a perfect clone."
Optimus replies, "Very well. Ratchet, you and the others commence the cloning procedure."
Ratchet and the other scientists went to work.
(One week later...)
Optimus, Corvowing, Ratchet, and Redsight stared in awe at the Mecha Shadow Fury Predacon in the Hyperevolution Chamber.
The Predacon was twice as tall as Predaking in his dragon mode, and only slightly longer, but not to the point of crowding the Hyperevolution Chamber. The Predacon had slightly more muscle cables than Predaking, but not too much. The Predacon's armor was colored in aero blue, azure blue, ice blue, canary yellow, golden yellow, school bus yellow, jet black, charcoal black, and ebony black with a stripe of juniper green on the chestplate where the Predacon symbol is, and a few streaks of blood red on the Predacon's wings. The Predacon's armor was at least sixteen inches thicker than even Predaking's armor. The Predacon had metallic dragon wings that had small detachable blades surrounding its wings. The new Predacon's tail looked like a combination of Predaking's tail and Leobreaker's tail-whip. And it had Predacon symbols on its chestplate and its shoulder armor.
Thanks to Corvowing accelerating time for the Predacon, the clone was now fully cultivated.
Corvowing is then asked by Ratchet, "It is your call, Corvowing. Shall we awaken it?"
Corvowing finished taking in the sight of the Predacon's entire appearance before replying, "Yes, Ratchet. Activate the Predacon."
Ratchet throws the lever and electricity sparks around the chamber, bringing the Predacon to life as the Hyperevolution Chamber emptied the water.
After three seconds, the Predacon growled and its optics opened before turning to slits.
Much to even Corvowing's surprise, the Predacon's optics were a combination of yellowish-blue and bluish-green.
The Predacon looked around the liquid as it dropped.
The Predacon looked healthy, from all indications.
The glass from the chamber slid up, and the Predacon slowly lowered itself.
The Predacon says in its head, "Where am I? What am I? Who am I? Apparently, I'm made of some kind of metallic substance like the four beings in front of me. But why don't they look like me? Is it because they needed servos?"
The Predacon took a curious step towards Optimus, subtly noticing that the cement was slightly scratched due to the cement in the floor being merged with Earthly metal and Cybertronian metal.
Optimus slowly extended his servo and the Predacon mentally guessed that he wants to pet it.
Optimus gingerly strokes the Predacon's helm, and the Predacon purred like an Earth cat.
Corvowing then suggests, "Optimus, perhaps Redsight, Ratchet and I should double check to make sure that our resident Predacon is in perfect health and to make sure we teach it how to transform."
Redsight nods for added emphasis.
Optimus replies, "Very well, Corvowing. You and Redsight attend to your creation."
At the mention of the word "creation," the Predacon came to the realization that, in a sense, the Multi-Changer Predacon and his Grounder sparkmate are its creators.
The Predacon slowly makes its way over to Corvowing and Redsight, and the Predacon licks them both, much to the shock of everyone present.
Corvowing asks, "Um, Optimus, Ratchet, any ideas on why the Predacon just licked me and Redsight?"
Ratchet replies, "Apparently, the Predacon imprinted upon you two as its creators."
A ghost of a smile appeared on Corvowing's faceplate as he hugged the Predacon's helm.
Redsight joined in by hugging the Predacon's neck armor.
The Predacon started purring again, and Optimus and Ratchet smiled at the sight in front of them.
From the hallway, Alpha Trion and all of the other Autobot leaders smiled at the sight far ahead of them.
Within the course of two days in frozen time, the Predacon got acquainted well with everyone else, learned how to transform, and got trained on everything it needed to know.
But of course, Smokescreen came up with the name Hexerscorch for the female Predacon.
And over the course of the next twenty-four hours in frozen time, Hexerscorch was given the backstory of her creators.
To say that she was shocked at the details of how the race of Transformers was fictional in Corvowing's home dimension was putting it mildly.
But eventually, Hexerscorch got along with pretty much everyone, including the techno-organic army, the entire Autobot army, and Predaking's Predacon army.
The End.
(Author's notes: In the next chapter, there's gonna be a divergence of the Evolution episode. You'll have to read the beginning author's notes to find out what that divergence is.
See you all in chapter 73: Evolution.)
