Chapter 11: The Battle for Cybertron
The Core of Cybertron- Primeverse
Nightshade hissed in pain. Her entire body was screaming at her for repairs and to rest. Something that she had not allowed herself to do since both Leatherback and Seth escaped from their prisons. She could already tell that there was some bones that needed time to heal and others that would not be repaired any time soon even with her magic. She tried to move but a cracking sound stopped her from moving any further.
She could already feel her senses already kicking in. She felt dread as she remembered what she had done while she was under Unicron's control. The lives she had taken for Unicron to get closer to the Core. She knew how Galvatron felt. She had seen it when looked through his Spark, but now she had felt it herself. Being used as a puppet and being given a new identity. That was enough to make her angry enough to face Unicron alone.
"Nightshade?" she heard Galvatron speaking and a second later his servo was placed on the back of her head. "Are you going to be okay?" Galvatron asked.
Nightshade was able to open her optics. The purple was gone and had been replaced back to their normal red colour. Her entire body had returned to its usual frame but there was changes do it. Her wings were more narrow and looked more like jet wings rather than what thwy had once looked like. Her tail that had once ended in a spike now ended with a fin not so different to a Night Fury. Her claws were sharper than before and she felt more Undead than before. "I will get better, Galvatron!" she replied.
She was finally able to stand up on all four legs. They were shaky for a few seconds before she once again found her balance. "Has Unicron made a show yet?" she askes looking at him.
Galvatron looked at the Core. It was still blue and still glowing brightly. Unicron still had not reached the Core. It seemed that the Choas Bringer had yet to arrive on Cybertron. They still had time to save their world. He looked back at Nightshade. Her red optics narrowed as she looked up at the stars high above them. Her teeth had seethed out from her jaw bones. They both had personal issues against Unicron. H follwed her gaze up and out of the tunnel that lead from the surface of Cybertron to the centre of the planet. In the sky was explosion of red, blue and purple as Cybertronians who had fought on two different sides of the war fought together against Unicron and his army of the dead. The Dead that was mainly brought by Shadowstalker.
Optics widening his helm snapped back at Nightshade. "Nightshade when you where under Unicron's control you raised an army of the dead! Much more complex than anything than what Unicron can do!" he said. He watched as her Bonescales changed from their normal colour to a bright yellow colour before going back to their normal colour.
Nightshade's head snapped back towards him and Galvatron took a step back when her optics also shifted from red to a pale green. "I don't need to be reminded that Galv'! I have been able to keep that ability hidden for centuries! Not even Optimus knows!" she sighed looking away from him. "I was created with this ability with no clue as to how I was created with it! I learned quickly to hide it that I forgot all about it! I have only used that ability a few times in the century that I have been on earth but never raising an army!" she continued with shame as she looked back at Galvatron. "Unicron is going to pay dearly for this!" she hissed looking back up at the sky.
Galvatron stepped closer to her. He placed a clawed servo on her wing. The limb twicthed away from him and as quick as lightning moved the servo away. "Good to see that your up for a fight!" he smirked. His red optics narrowed as he looked up at the stars.
With a twist of plating he transformed into his jet form and rocketed up and out of the tunnel. His scanners picked up Nightshade and a second later the Dragonoid shot past him. Wings folded at an angle she speed up past him and towards the mouth of the tunnel. It was only until she got past him that she shifted to her jet form. With roaring engines the two alien jets exploded out of the tunnel.
The two jets leveled out and headed back to Iacon. Galvatron allowed his attention to move to the ground. The Terracons were fighting each other as the ones that Nightshade had resurrected while she was under Unicron's control fought in coordinated attacks against the shambling Terracons that had been awoken by Dark Energon. He watched as the zombies tore themselves apart as a great deal of Unicron's forces was brought down. He watched as Nightshade's Terracons attacked beside living Cybertronians.
"Nightshade, we need to help Optimus! He's not use to air combat like us!" Galvatron shouted over the whipping wind that past them and the roaring of both his and her afterburners.
Nightshade was silent for a second. No doubt thinking of a plan. "No Galvatron!" she said transforming back into her true form. Her wings kept flapping to keep her hovering in the air as her red optics studied the battlefield. A group of purple Seekers were heading towards. "I will go and help Optimus! You need to find Unicron before he uses this as a distrdistraction!" she finished as her horned head returned to look at him.
Galvatron transformed back into his jet form as the group of Seekers that remained in their jet forms formed a circle around the two. He looked past Nightshade to Optimus Prime and Megatronus's duel in the air. The Star Saber left a glowing blue trail in its wake and Megatronus's own weapon tore black holes in the air around the duelling Primes. "Alright Nightshade! Go and help Optimus!" he replied to her before looking at three of the Seekers that had surrounded them. "Go with Nightshade! Follow her orders and protect the Prime! We need everyone to be able to stand against Unicron!" he ordered them.
Galvatron watched Nightshade fly away with three of the Seekers behind her. "Sir, do I have permission to speak?" a purple and black Seeker as transforming back ibto his robot mode. His red visor was lit up.
"Go ahead!" Galvatron spoke without any emotion. He was still watching Nightshade as she glided between two of the Seekers with the third Seeker above her. The three Mechs were mindful of her wings as she got closer to Optimus and Megatronus.
"Sir what is going on? We all saw you going after a Predacon to the Well of Sparks but where did the other Predacon come from?" the Seeker asked.
"That is none of your business! Do I make myself understood?" he snarled at the Seeker. Having said that he transformed back into his jet form and blasted towards the Nemesis. His warship was firing at the hordes of the Undead both the Terracons that Nightshade and Unicron can control. The red laserfire lit up the night sky with loud bangs that tore the sky apart. A sound that Cybertron should not be hearing after so many centuries of war.
The Air Iacon, Cybertron- Primeverse
Optimus Prime groaned in pain. His red armour of his chestplate was dented in so many places that it was going to take both Ratchet and Knockout a great amount of time ti repair it. The rest of his armour was also badly damaged from his fight with the Fallen Prime. He could already hear Ratchet shouting at him for being an idiot for fighting the Fallen Prime.
"Give me the Matrix and I will allow you to live as my slave in the new age that Unicron is going to bring!" Megatronus shouted as he brought his sword down on Optimus. The jetformer lunged towards Optimus Prime with his black sword before him.
"I will never stand down to you or your master!" Optimus shouted. He fired up his jet pack and blasted towards Megatronus. The Star Saber was drawn out and the blade of the Primes glowed bright blue.
The two blades clashed against each other with great force. The force was strong enough to force both Optimus and Megatronus far from each other. The Prime grunted as his jet pack stabilised him. He looked over at Megatronus to see the ancient Cybertronian jet fired towards him. Activating his jet pack he got out of the way as another alien jet thundered into the airal fight. The new jet was flanked by the three Decepticon Seekers. Looking more skeletal than any jets than what he had seen. The jets afterburners glowed a bright blue and left a blue energy trail behind it. On its wings were turbines like the Ospreys jets from Earth.
The new jet fired out a rain of bullets towards Megatronus. The Fallen Prime, who was still in his jet form performed a barrel roll to avoid the gun fire that was coming from the jet. Optimus Prime also moved backwards to avoid the jet as it shot past him to ram into the Fallen Prime. The three Deception Seekers kept close to the jet and also started to fire at the Fallen Prime with their weapons that were built into their jet forms
Optimus Prime watched the alien jet as it picked up speed. Its afterburners glowed a brighter blue as they pushed the jet former towards its prey like that of a giant bird of prey. The jet that was moving too fast for Megatronus to react to and he found himself being pushed backwards by the jet.
Megatronus roared in anger as he was pushed back by the jet from another world. He knew that it was not a jet from Earth but from another world. A world that he had not crossed paths with. Which was highly unlikely as he had travelled across the whole of the universe. Not unless it was from a world that he had not crossed from further than what he had travelled. His scanners jumped to life as he scanned the jet. The jet was covered in Void Stuff. It had past the barriers between dimensions to get to Cybertron and face him.
His scanners began to flash with a warning sign as his battle computer picked up a strange energy signature coming from the alien jet. Before he could respond with the intelligence that he had been given about the jet when the jet fired. It's lasers burnt through his jets plating as if it was nothing. The Fallen Prime dropped out of the sky when an explosion from a laser fired from the jet.
Megatronus transformed when he hit the ground. Digging his feet into the ground he came to a skidding stop. Grating his dental together his red optics flashed up towards the sky as both the red and blue Prime and the jet who transformed into a Predacon that landed gentle on its four paws. Its red optics narrowed as it focused on him. He raised his black sword, the black sword to Solus Prime had forged for him just before he had betrayed his brothers and sister Primes to side with Unicron. His blade was all that he left after he was defeated in combat by Onyx Prime. The huge Predacon Prime had nearly killed him in that battle but that had been when Unicron had showed up. The Chaos Bringer had practically destroyed the Predacon Prime before he too was defeated by Primus himself to be exiled far away from Cybertron and then to be forced into Stasis Lock by his own brother. Megatronus was also sentenced to exile. He had been exiled into the dead space that he had tried and failed to built an empire in the name of Unicron, but that had not worked. It was only until recently that his empire had grown greatly thanks to Shadowstalker. That was no longer the case. Shadowstalker had been freed from Unicron's hold and he was just about to face Nightshade's wrath.
"Nightshade!" Megatronus snarled. His red optics narrowed as he studied the young Dragonoid. His twirled his black blade in his servo. He could already picture the black blade running through both Optimus Prime and Nightshade. The black blade made of Dark Energon would then pierce Megatron's Spark, he did not care that he had changed his name to Glavatron.
"Megatronus! Leave Cybertron and its people alone!" she shouted as the Seekers transformed and landed in their robot forns. Their plasma cannons raised at the Fallen Prime. "You and Unicron have already caused too much damage to Cybertronians and humans alike! How do you plead for yourself?" she snarled towards the Fallen Prime. Her tail flicked to the side and the Seekers in their robot forms nodded their helms and took a step forward. Their plasma cannons whined as they powered up. The red glow from them got brighter with every passing second as they got ready to fire on the Fallen Prime. Nightshade knew that they had orders from Glavatron to protect to Optimus Prime.
Megatronus Prime snickered before he took a step closer. Nightshade dropped lower to the ground. Her sharp teeth sparked with black sparks as she opened up her wings. Her sharp metal claws dug deep into the metal ground as her tail once again twitched. The Seekers behind her formed a protective shield behind Optimus Prime. She was glad that on the way to Iacon she had discussed the movements of her tail and wings that showed a message of an order. She was even more glad that the Seekers, Seekers that she knew from her own dimension did not like taken orders from non-Seekers. She also knew that Seekers hated non-Seekers in the air, that was why Starscream hated her so much that they always fought when they were in the same battle.
"Don't take another step, Fallen Prime!" she snarled at him. Her own red optics narrowed into slits as she kept a close eye on the black sword. She remembered that blade piercing through her Bonescales when she was being interrogated by both him and Unicron. That was before Unicron had the great idea to infect her with Dark Energon transforming her into Shadowstalker.
"Come Nightshade! Unicron had made you so much better than what you could ever hope to manage on your own!" Megatronus shouted back at Nightshade. He took another step forward but stopped when a ghost screamed towards him.
"Unicron twisted me! He's twisted so many others for his purposes! And for what? Sibiling rivalry and to get revenge on a Mech who found his way back to sanity after being pushed into his own mind as Unicron created a mindless puppet!" she hissed at him as the ghost returned to her side. The Seekers and Optimus Prime already looked uneasy at being around her. The ghost hung over Nightshade as it got ready to strike out at Fallen Prime.
Optimus Prime brought the Star Sabre in front of Nightshade. The Dragonoid took a step backwards. She kept her battle ready stance behind the leader of the Autobots. A friend that she knew so well but here he was a complete stranger. She watched in silence as Optimus Prime walked up towards the black and golden Mech with the Seekers who were ready to defend the Prime should Megatronus attack him.
"It was you who turned an innocent being into a mindless monster!" he shouted. He brought the Star Sabre down. The black blade that Megatronus wielded meet the Star Sabre with such force that the two Primes were forced to take a step back. Optimus was about to step on Nightshade, but the Dragonoid leapt over his shoulders. A blast of black lightning zapped out of Nightshade's jaws and smashed into Megatronus.
The Fallen Prime snarled as he jumped back. He snarled as his entire systems screamed in pain. His red optics focused on Nightshade as she landed in front of the Seekers. "Open fire!" she roared. He took a hesitant step backwards as the Seekers started to fire on him along with Optimus Prime and Nightshade. A snarl came from behind him. Looking over his shoulder struts he wished he did not. Coming towards him was a team of Terracons. Not the shambling corpses that Unicron brought back to life with Dark Energon, these were creates of the Undead. With minds of their own they acted with reason and a sound mind, but they still needed orders from a controller. They had been summoned by Nightshade when she was possessed and had taken the name Shadowstalker. Her Terracons had become more stable when she returned to normal.
Optimus and the Seekers took a step back when the Terracons all formed a circle around The Fallen Prime. Optimus looked over at Nightshade. She had taken a battle ready stance with a Seeker keeping close to her. The Seeker did not seem fazed as a Terracon stomped over to them. That Terracon walked right past them and took a defensive stance in front of Optimus Prime.
"I will need all the Fallen Prime to hurt you, Optimus Prime!" the Terracon snarled as it brought out an axe. The axe glowed a dark blue as it prepared to fight for its Undead life.
Nightshade looked over at Optimus Prime. Her red optics narrowed. "Optimus, I am a friend of yours! I am from another dimension! The dimension that Megatron was sent to! There me and you are old friends! Now how about we fight side by side and send these two pit crawlers back to the Pit where they belong?" she spoke calmly even though all around them Autobots and Decepticons fought against Unicorns Terracon hordes.
Optimus looked over at Nightshade. Her red optics were bright and focused. They looked towards him for their next move as did the Terracons that she had under her control. He looked back at Megatronus. The Fallen Prime had recovered from their attacks. His red optics narrowed in concentration and hatred as he swung his huge black sword in preparation to his fight with him and Nightshade. He looked back at Nightshade.
"We shall bring Megatronus Prime down! Then we will find his master!" he replied to her. His battle mask slammed into place as his optics narrowed on The Fallen. "Autobots, transform and roll out!" he shouted. He activated his jet pack and exploded towards Megatronus Prime. The Star Sabre was brought out before him like a javelin as he prepared to strike him in the Spark.
Megatronus meet him with a clash of metal as both blades meet. The Star Sabre left a blue tear in the air as it struck Megatronus's black blade. With fluid motions the two Primes kept attacking the two on the ground. The both of them using their afterburners of their wings and jet pack to give them more power as they fought. Megatronus fought to bring the helm of the new Prime back to Unicron and to take the Matrix for himself. Optimus fought to safe his world and any other that Unicron wanted to invade and cause Chaos to. He had to fight for the freedom of all life.
Nightshade looked at two of the Seekers. "Go behind Megatronus and aim for his afterburners! We get them damaged he can put as much power into his attacks!" she ordered them. The Seekers nodded their helms and ran to get behind the Fallen Prime. The Seekers that remained looked back over at her waiting for orders. "The rest of us will keep him off balance until this fight is ended!" she ordered them. Seekers and Terracons alike nodded their helms. "Hit him and get out of the way!" she ordered before taken a running start towards the two fighting Primes. Her wings snapped open and she took to the air. A Seeker transformed into his jet mode and followed her into the sky. The other two Seekers remained on the ground and began to fire at Megatronus's exposed faceplates.
Optimus watched as the Seekers all started to fire at Megatronus's afterburners. Their aim had improved a lot. They never missed a shot. They constantly hit the sensitive wings of the Fallen Prime. A roar of a Terracon caused him to fire away as the Terracon with a huge axe smashed into Megatronus with such force that the two of them were forced to the ground. The Terracon then ran away from the Fallen Prime. Nightshade then swooped in and blasted a huge volt of black lightning towards him. She then retreated for another Seeker to blitz The Fallen.
"Prime now while he is focused on us!" she shouted over the roaring of the fights that was happening all around Iacon.
"Understood Nightshade!" he shouted as an explosion exploded close by. Raising the Star Saber up above his helm he looked down at Megatronus. The Fallen Prime had been knocked unbalanced by the attacks that had come in all directions.
Megatronus looked up at Optimus Prime. His red optics locked onto the Prime who was currently bearing the Matrix of Leadership. "You are lucky that you have allies who protect you, Prime! But that wont help you! He is here!" Megatronus snapped. A Space Bridge snapped open behind Megatronus. The Fallen Prime made to walk through the Space Bridge but a Terracon blocked his path.
"I don't think so!" Nightshade snarled as she leapt ib front of the Terracon. Her wings opened up to make herself look bigger than she really was.
Optimus kept the Star Saber in hand as he wacthed Megatronus step away from the Space Bridge that had opened. The Prime and the Cybertronians all glared at The Fallen. "Megatronus stand with us! Together we can end Unicron before he destroys our world!" Optimus spoke calmly towards one of the original Primes.
Megatronus snarled at Optimus Prime. "I will never betray my master!"
It was then Megatronus was blasted by a blast of hot flames. Megatronus dropped to the ground faceplates first. Optimus studied The Fallen Prime as Nightshade landed beside him. He looked back at Megatronus. His blue optics narrowed as he focused on the large Predacon that stepped on the back of the Fallen Prime. Predaking snarled down at the downed Mech at his feet as Optimus took a step towards the King of the Predacons and Megatronus.
"Predaking! Your timing can not be much needed!" he spoke in a calm voice. He kept walking towards the Predacon who remained in dragon mode. He could feel Nightshade keeping a close eye on Predaking.
With a twisting of plates Predaking transformed from beast mode to his towering Mech mode. His yellow optics narrowed on the Prime before they moved over to Nightshade. That was when they widened. "I am not alone!" he shouted. He was about to take a step closer to Nightshade. He stopped when the Terracons blocked his path. "I thought I was alone! This is great my people will once again stand tall proud again!" he continued to say as the Terracons moved to the side.
Nightshade looked over at Optimus. Shaking her horned head in disbelief she focused on getting the Shadow Network established again. She also needed to get the Moonray to prepare Erath for a possible invasion that Unicron was no doubt going to launch when he failed in his conquest of Cybertron. Taking a quick glance over at the Seekers that had come with her she was already thinking of what the next move should be. Looking past the Seekers towards the battles that were raging all over Iacon to Kaon and Vox where seeing more of the Terracons being brought down. Autobots and Deceptions, Mechs and Femmes who had come from different backgrounds where standing together as they fought for their planet. She looked back at Optimus and Predaking. Something did not feel right. Where was Unicron. Why was he allowing his forces to be brought down? She was sure that he needed enough Terracons to infect Primus's Spark. That had been his plan the first time that he had attacked Cybertron when he had processed Galvatron.
Looking back at Optimus she found that Predaking had vanished. Her red optics instantly jumped about in hopes of finding the Predacon. She had learned that the Predacons in her dimension were vicious warriors who had taken the alternative forms of animals. That team was commanded by Razorclaw. The Mech had taken the form of a lion and on many occasions he had crossed claws with Grimlock and even her. He always wanted to pick a fight with the biggest Autobot warriors, and that always happened to be Grimlock. She did not know if the lion had a death wish that he kept fighting the T-Rex. Letting out a hiss she scanned the area for the Predacon. She did not care that this Predacon took the form of a dragon it was still a Predacon.
"I do not think we have been introduced!" a educated voice came from her side. Nightshade leapt in the air. Her Bonescales rattling over her skeleton structure. Her red optics narrowed towards the Predaking who was still in their Mech mode. Keeping her wings opened as a quick get away in case the Predacon attacked her. "I am sorry for startling you! I have just not many other Predacons that were not created by Shockwave!" Predaking continued to speak.
Nightshade let out another growl. "Shockwave! That Mech should be destroyed for the War Crimes that he has committed!" she growled. She tried to walk away from Predaking, but that was not possible. The large black, red and yellow Mech kept getting in her way. He moved fast for being so big that she was shocked at how fast he could move. "Alright what do you want, Predacon?" she snarled as black sparks sparked on her teeth.
Predaking took a step back. "I just wanted to know the name of a fellow Predacon!" he stuttered. His yellow optics never left Nightshade. "But from the way that you have spoken you are not a Predacon! So what are you?" he asked tilting his helm to the side.
"My name is Nightshade and the last of the Dragonoids!" was all she said to Predaking. This time when she walked away from Predaking she got away. A purple Seeker followed close by her. "Moonray, get me in touch with Galvatron! I have a bad feeling that something is going to go wrong!" she spoke to AI that controlled her jet and UNIT Stirling along with the few aids it has done for the Avengers in recent events. She looked back at the Seeker who had followed her. "Try and get in touch with a commanding Officer of either the Autobots or Decepticons!" she ordered the Mech. She watched the Seeker walk off to get in touch with a CO of both factions.
"I have not been able to get through to Galvatron! There is interference with his communication system that I am unable to get through to him!" the Moonray responded.
"Do you have Galvatron's last known location?" she asked the AI.
The Moonray fell silent for a quick moment before it responded, "Galvatron is in the centre of Kaon!"
Nightshade's wings exploded and she took to the air. Optimus looked at all the gathered Seekers and Terracons. The Terracons were watching Megatronus. If he moved the Terracons that were under Nightshade's control would end him before he could make an appearance at the Autobot Council. He then looked over at Predaking. The Predacon had returned to his beast mode. "Predaking I can trust you to remain here and have Megatronus be escorted as far away from the battle as possible?" he asked the Predacon leader. The dragonfomer bowed its helm in response as Optimus's jet pack exploded into life and he followed after Nightshade towards Kaon.
Kaon, Cybertron- Primeverse
Galvatron was flung into the side of a large building. The booming and clanking of metal against metal joined the roars of battle. Galvatron looked up as Unicron's new puppet raised his sword. Cyclonus had once been a Mech who had very little to say and caused a great amount of fear for both Autobots and Decepticons alike during the Great War. It was before the Great Exodus of Cybertron that Cyclonus had vanished from Cybertron along with a small group of Decepticons who followed him rather than the main Decepticon cause. He and Shockwave had both thought that Cyclonus had been offlined sometime after he had left Cybertron, but some time he had been found by Megatronus and brought to Unicron.
Galvatron stared up at the purple optic possessed Mech. He had meet Cyclonus a few times before the war and during the war. He and Cyclonus had been made to fight against each other in Pits of Kaon. It was during those fights that him and Cyclonus along with Soundwave began to create the Decepticons with the aid of Orion Pax.
"Cyclonus, I know that you are still in there! We can work together to fight against Unicron!" he shouted. He unsheathed his sword from under his plasma cannon. His red optics narrowed on the purple plated winged Mech.
"I am afraid that the Mech that you once knew is long dead, Megatron! I snuffed his Spark before placing my essence in the Spark Chamber!" Unicron snapped back at Galvatron. "I am not making the same mistake again!" he snarled as he unsheathed his own sword from where it was concealed in his right arm.
Galvatron snarled. All around him Mechs and Femmes thought for their world! The world that they had just got back after centuries of warfare. "No your making new mistakes, Unicron! Can't you see that your Terracons are already falling! Your losing your only chance at destroying Primus!" Galvatron shouted. He felt a presence beside him and looked over his right shoulder plating to see Soundwave and then his left shoulder plating to see Shockwave. His two most trusted commanders were still fighting by his side even after the war had ended.
Unicron took a step closer to him and his two closet allies before and during the war. "You are smart I will give you that! But their nothing in the grand scale of everything! I will tell you everything that I am planning! I will allow you to try and stop me! You know like the hero that you are trying to be!" Unicron smirked as he stopped in approaching Galvatron.
"Well! What where you hoping in gaining in capturing Nightshade and twisting her into your puppet? And what is the purpose of raising the Terracon army if your not for trying to get to the Core of our world?" Galvatron demanded. He kept his weapon systems active.
Unicron snorted in amusement. "You really are trying to be a hero! You're not Optimus Prime!" he snarled towards the fallen warrior.
Galvatron narrowed his optics and let out a snarl. He clenched his claws into fists. "I may not be Optimus Prime but I will still defend my world and my friends!" he snapped back. He could feel Shockwave's one optic locked onto his back. No doubt his Head Scientist was wondering what he was planning on doing.
"Very well I will tell you what want to know! I took Nightshade to hurt you the must! In the short time that you had spend with her I noticed how the two of your got along even if Nightshade showed a great mistrust against you for a time. I must admit that her ability to break Cures is great! Another reason why I had turned her into Shadowstalker. She helped to undo the chains that had been placed upon me by Primus and Optimus Prime! I am know free to cause Chaos and destruction to the whole universe!" Unicron snarled back at Galvatron. He took another step closer to the former leader of the Decepticons. His purple optics narrowed into slits as he prowled towards his former puppet. He did not show interest in that all the Mechs and Femmes who had been fighting in Kaon had stopped to watch the battle between him and the former leader of the Decepticons. To him they could watch him as he tore out the Sparks of both Megatron and Optimus Prime.
"Not another step Unicron! If you want to fight to the death then I will give that to you! I was once a gladiator of the Pits of Kaon!" Glavatron snapped back. He took a battle ready position as Unicron started to run towards him. He was taken in everything. His optics constantly studied everything. He remembered fighting against Cyclonus years ago. Even with Unicron in the body it moved just the same.
Unicron kept running. He brought out his sword that started to glow a dark purple as Dark Energon cursed through it.
Galvatron brought up his own sword. The two blades clanged against each other as the two former gladiators of the Pits of Kaon fought to the bitter end. The battle for Cybertron had begun and would only end whenever either Galvatron or Unicron had been destroyed.
