The Decepticons all returned to Station: Kubos at the same time. Galvatron glared at Megatron who returned the glare. The Decepticons backed away from the two leaders, knowing there was a fight about to ensue. Galvatron lunged at Megatron, who kicked Galvatron in the chest. Galvatron slammed into one of Scorpinok's exterior walls. Galvatron fired at Megatron. The blast grazed Megatron's shoulder. Megatron stumbled to the side but regained control. He ran and punched Galvatron across the face. Galvatron stumbled back then charged again. He tackled Megatron and the two wrestled around. Megatron ended on top with his hands around Galvatron's throat.
"Do you yield?" Megatron demanded.
Galvatron hesitated then after awhile a few seconds of trying to get Megatron off of him he nodded.
"Yes. I yield." Galvatron said.
Megatron stood up and stood inches away from Galvatron who had just got to his feet.
"Never go against me again. Next time you'll end up like Starscream." Megatron said.
Megatron turned around and headed for Scorpinok's entry way. Galvatron raised his weapon and aimed it at Megatron's back.
"MIGHTY MEGATRON!" Soundwave warned.
Megatron transformed into his gun mode and landed in Soundwave's hand. Soundwave fired without hesitation. Galvatron was shot in the chest and the force of the blast sent Galvatron into a wall. Smoke poured from Galvatron's wound. He was still alive but barely. Megatron transformed back into his robot form.
"You're lucky that I decided to spare you." Megatron said.
Cyclonus and Scourge helped Galvatron to his feet. Megatron turned to Shockwave.
"It's time for the second phase. Launch the atmospheric satellite."
"As you wish, Lord Megatron." Shockwave said.
The Autobots regrouped on Svarog. They all huddled around Optimus Prime.
"Report." Prime said.
"Galvatron Faction has retreated." Ultra Magnus said.
"Predacons retreat." Grimlock said.
"I bet they regrouped." Sideswipe said.
"And then they'll combine forces and we'll still beat them." Shortstop said.
Sideswipe smiled. "Hell yeah."
He and Shortstop banged their forearms together.
"I felt there was something more than just this civil war." Prime said. "We should get back to Aineias. I feel like our presence is needed there."
The Autobots and ES members headed back to Aineias.
In the lower part of the atmosphere of Aineias a silver, circular platform with what looked likes a barrel of a gun on the underside of it and on the top side is a control room. Megatron, Nos, Skywarp, Thundercracker and Soundwave stood on the platform.
"This will eject an energy ball that will float thousands of feet in the air. It will continue to charge and then release an energy wave that will decimate the planet. It constantly emits a low sonic pulse that will destroy any Transformer that gets near it." Megatron said. "Eject the ball."
Soundwave pressed a few buttons and the lower part of the platform shot out a white energy ball. The ball began to charge. It began to get whiter the more it charged.
Meanwhile, the Autobots entered the outer atmosphere.
"Something is in the atmosphere that isn't of Aineian origin." Skyfire reported.
"Put it on screen." Prime ordered.
At that moment the Decepticon platform appeared on the viewer.
"Skyfire, divert course to intercept." Prime said.
"You got it, Prime." Skyfire said.
Skyfire fired four grappling hooks that latched onto the edge of the platform while his cargo bay opened. Each Autobot inside leapt onto a rope and slid to the platform.
"AUTOBOTS!" Soundwave reported.
Soundwave fired his weapon and shot Shortstop's rope from the platform. Shortstop then flipped onto the nearest rope, which happened to be Prowl's. The Autobots fired as they rode the ropes to the platform. Optimus Prime, Shortstop, Skyfire, Jazz and Prowl went up against the Decepticons for the second time today. During the fight Éclair jumped off of the Le Muse and onto the platform. Lumiere piloted the Le Muse away from the platform and waited for Éclair. Soundwave battled Prowl, Jazz went up against Skywarp, Thundercracker and Skyfire went head to head, Nos and Shortstop fought, and Prime fought Megatron. Nos threw a punch at Shortstop, who dodged it and returned with a knee to Nos's chest. Nos's head flew off and transformed into the Nebulon known as Skipper. Nos's body transformed into the car. Shortstop's head flew off its shoulder and transformed into Dustin while the body transformed into the car. Dustin and Skipper fought among the giant Transformers. Prowl grabbed Soundwave by the arm and threw him into a wall. Jazz kicked Skywarp across the face while Skyfire traded shots with Thundercracker. Éclair jumped in the air and used her lipstick lasso and wrapped it around Skywarp's head and pulled him to the ground. Jazz gave Éclair a thumb's up.
"Nice job." Jazz said.
Optimus Prime wasn't having the best of luck against Megatron. Prime fired his rifle at Megatron who dodged the blast and returned with one of his own. Optimus punched and kicked Megatron. Megatron flew into a wall but immediately shot to his feet and fired. The blast hit Optimus square in the chest. Prime flew back and almost fell off the edge. Megatron towered over Prime.
"This is the last stop, Prime." Megatron said. "I'll kick you over this edge and one of two things will happen. One will be you fall straight down and don't survive the landing, two will be you come in contact with the energy ball and be incinerated. The energy ball will destroy any Transformer that comes near it. And once it's out there nothing can be done to stop it. This planet will be destroyed."
Prime looked to his fellow Autobots and saw that they were beating the Decepticons. That gave him the strength he needed to keep fighting. His hand shot up and grabbed the end of Megatron's barrel. Prime got to his feet. He pulled the fusion cannon off and hit Megatron across the face with it. Megatron stumbled back a few feet. Megatron rushed at Prime. Prime swung the fusion cannon and hit Megatron in the chest with it. Megatron slammed into the wall. Once Megatron got his bearings he quickly ducked, Prime had throw the fusion cannon at Megatron and it stuck into the wall where Megatron's head used to be.
Dustin and Skipper still fought. Skipper kicked Dustin in the chest and knocked him to the platform's deck. Skipper slammed his foot on Dustin's chest. Dustin recoiled in pain. Skipper looked over and saw that Éclair was watching. Skipper smiled and turned his gaze to Dustin.
"Once I'm done with you, I'll handle your little girlfriend there. I'll do a little bit of this and a little bit of that and I'll definitely do a little bit of that." Skipper said.
Dustin looked at Éclair who had the look of shock and fear in her eyes. He looked back to Skipper who was raising his foot in the air above Dustin's head. Skipper brought his foot down with all of his strength only for it to be caught by Dustin's hands. Dustin saw Éclair's distress go away now that she realized that he was in control of the situation. Dustin pushed the foot away causing Skipper to stagger. Dustin shot to his feet and flipped over Skipper. The Nebulon didn't realize where Dustin was until he felt his opponent's hands on the back of his head and on his chin.
"Don't you ever say anything like that again about Éclair." Dustin said.
"I won't. I won't." Skipper pleaded.
"I know you won't." Dustin said.
At that moment, Dustin rotated Skipper's head very hard, snapping his neck. Skipper's lifeless body fell to the deck. The Decepticons witnessed the action.
"Decepticons, retreat." Megatron ordered.
Skywarp and Thundercracker grabbed Nos's body that was still in vehicle mode and flew off.
"You may have beaten us, Prime, but you still have to worry about the energy ball." Megatron said.
Prime dropped his rifle in frustration. He didn't know how to handle the energy ball because if any Transformer got close to it they would be destroyed before anything could be done. The Autobots stood there trying to come up with something to do about this. Then Dustin got an idea.
"Looks like I'll be the one to save the day this time, guys." Dustin said.
Éclair and the Autobots looked at him with confused looks.
"What are you talking about?" Éclair asked.
"I'm going to take out that energy ball. No Transformer can get close to it without being destroyed and since I'm human I can get close to it." Dustin said.
"No you can't. You'll be killed." Éclair said.
"That may be but the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Dustin replied.
Dustin grabbed Éclair by her shoulders and pulled her in for a kiss. The action surprised Éclair but she wanted it. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the few seconds they shared. Dustin then broke the kiss and turned around and sprinted for the edge of the platform. While he ran he pressed a few buttons on his exosuit forearm and a blade shot out above his hand. He leapt off of the edge headfirst with his arms spread out and plummeted towards the energy ball. Éclair and the Autobots ran to the edge to watch Dustin. Dustin could feel the enormous energy that the energy ball was emitting. He raised his right hand and then sliced through the middle of the energy ball. The energy ball dissipated and the energy that emanated from it dissolved. It was now a beautiful clear blue sky. The only problem left was that Dustin was still falling. He activated his watch communicator.
"Uh, guys. I need a little help here. Because I can't fly…at all." He said.
Skyfire transformed and streaked through the sky to save his comrade.
"Nab him." Jazz called out.
Dustin fell onto Skyfire's hull and the two Autobots returned to the platform. Éclair ran to him and hugged him tightly.
"Nice job, m'man." Jazz said.
"Now what do we do with the platform?" Prowl asked.
"We'll drag it out into space and destroy it." Prime replied.
Later that day, Éclair and Lumiere were walking out of GOTT Headquarters. Éclair noticed that Dustin was leaning against his car with his arms crossed. He looked up at her and smiled.
"Ready for our date?" He asked.
Éclair smiled and giddily ran to him. She hugged and kissed him. Dustin then opened the car door for Éclair and she got into the transforming vehicle. The two of them drove off.
"I hope your atleast somewhat elegant, Éclair." Lumiere said to herself.
Meanwhile, Megatron punched a wall, leaving a gaping hole in it. He was completely infuriated at their latest loss. Nos was incredibly angry now that he was stuck in vehicle form since his headmaster counterpart was killed by Shortstop.
"I will have my revenge, Shortstop." Nos said to himself. "I will have my revenge."
The End
