Doing his best not to flinch as he stared into the cold, judging glare of his superior, the villainous advisor attempted to do the one thing that he was good.
Convincing bad guys that it was in their best interest to restrain their villainous impulses.
"I am deeply sorry sir for the way things turned out in that….dimension. But if you think about it, I did manage to accomplish my primary miss..".
'SLAP'!
"Wenk wenk wenk".
Rubbing his bruised cheek in a vain attempt to soothe his dignity, though he doubted anything could erase the humiliating image of being slapped in the face by a penguin, or at least a space demon trapped in the body of a penguin, the boy rushed to answer the question that had been posed to him.
"When you hired me, you said you wanted me to ensure that there was no chance of the good guys ever winning in their selected universes, and that you didn't care how I accomplished this".
"Wenk wenk wenk".
"Well...yes I suppose I could have picked a less…chaotic agent to accomplish this. But I point out that my options were severely limited. The main bad guy was both racist, narcistic, and illogical, meaning that he would probably refuse to entertain the idea that he could be beaten by his enemies. The minions that remained loyal to him were either too trigger happy to follow any plan that was more complicated than 'shoot em up', insanely fantastic in their belief that their leader was perfect, or had been reduced to cannon fodder/comic relief. And since one of the only mentally stable minions was about to change sides, my only options for fulfilling my task were either a treacherous mad scientist, or a serial killer with slight suicidal tendencies".
"Wenk wenk wenk".
"Well lets look at the facts here. Because of my interference, an immortal serial killer was able to avoid the fate of being reluctant muscle for an egotistical maniac. Which means that a certain spider has an additional pair of hands to help him finish repairing a certain space battleship".
"Wenk wenk wenk".
"Yes, I suspected that the Nemesis had managed to track where the Ark landed. And yes, I suspected the mutant crab would also cease to exist once he blew up the ship that carried the ancestors of those that created him, but it all turned out for the better. For without the greatest heroes and soldiers of the Autobots and Decepticons, a far more powerful entity is allowed to continue its mission of devouring world after world".
"Wenk wenk wenk".
Releasing a sigh in relief as he heard his employer accept this reasoning, the villainous advisor soon sported a look of surprise as avian shaped evil squawked out his new assignment.
"Wenk wenk wenk. Wenk wenk wenk".
"Actually, I wouldn't mind getting back to what I was doing before you sent me to the Beast Wars universe. But what do you mean by branching out".
"Wenk wenk wenk".
Upon hearing this, the boy could only grin as he clarified his new set of parameters.
"You're serious"?
"Wenk wenk wenk".
Nodding his head to show that he understood his new orders, the boy moved to prepare for his next mission. Only to stop as he remembered something.
"Umm, out of curiosity. Since I'm returning to my original…duties, does that mean the same rules of…exchange apply? Or will I have to merely keep what I've gotten so far"?
Growing slightly nervous as his avian shaped employer raised a flipper to his beak in consideration, the boy was both slightly disappointed and relieved by the answer.
"Wenk wenk wenk. Wenk wenk wenk".
"No I understand. I suppose that getting any more powerups would be a bit stupid. But thanks for letting me keep what I've gotten so fa…".
"Wenk wenk wenk".
"No, I suppose your right. They would be a bit of a hinderance in the future. But surely I can at least keep the one who can drive? Her moral code is a bit more…flexible than Bar….".
"WENK WENK WENK".
"Yes thank you sir. We'll leave right away".
Bowing his head in gratitude before Gunter could change his mind, the boy hurried off to prepare himself for his next mission.
One that would inevitably be better for him than his brief tenure as a long term advisor.
...
Hey everybody. So after much soul searching, decided to bring this story to an end since its main purpose was to try and give me a new challenge to make another story like Screw the Rebellion. But decided that its hard to duplicate my work in the exact same fashion soo...decided to cave in to popular demand and return to doing 1 chapter per villain XD.
Anyways, to summarized what has happened in this plot. Rampage teams up with Tarantulas. ensuring that the murderous crab isn't placed under Megatrons control, which in turn ensures that the Nemesis gets completed much earlier, and thus used to bring an end to the Beast Wars, and a universe that can stand against Unicron.
Always got the sense, and his final battle proved it, that Rampage doesn't care about his own death if he gets to ensure that other people will die as well. And since the Ark contains the ancestors of those that built him, he gets to end not only their existence, but his as well.
Anyways, thank you for putting up with my decision to experiment with other works XD. Will be happy to see you all in A Villains Happily Ever After, Volume 2.
Summarize.
Little bit of spoiler what I intend to do in future.
