Author's Note: At first I thought of doing a time-skip for this chapter but I had another idea. Maybe this will be better. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers.
Override, E-vac, and Leobreaker arrived at Cybertron. There were scrapmetal drones but Hotshot, Red Alert, and Scattershot were able to draw them away. The Decepticons except for Ransack, Crumplezone, and Mudflap, were right behind them. Hothsot pointed at their enemies.
"Slag! Megatron's here!" Hotshot yelled.
"I'll be taking that Omega Lock now." Megatron said.
The Autobots took their defensive positions. Megatron was about to use his electric shock weapon on them but a blast came from behind him. It was Optimus. He came with the rest of the Autobots. The Autobots outnumbered the Decepticons.
"Give it up, Megatron." Optimus said, now in front of the Decepticon leader.
"Try and stop me, Prime." Optimus combined with Wing Saber and turned into Sonic Wing Mode.
Optimus punched Megatron at his chest. Megatron transformed into his alternate mode and charged at the Autobot Leader. Optimus was able to dodge the attack.
"Too slow, Megatron." Optimus said.
Megatron did not stop. He was aiming for something else. The Omega Lock. It was in the hands of Leobreaker. The Decepticon Leader charged at Leobreaker and was able to get the Omega Lock from him.
"No!" Optimus yelled.
"It's finally mine. So long Optimus."
Megatron opened another warp gate and went back to the Decepticon base along with Thunderblast and Scourge. Optimus who was still in Sonic Wing Mode, was able to enter the warp gate before it closed.
The battle continued there.
"You just don't know when to quit Prime." Megatron said.
"Neither do you." Optimus tackled Megatron into the ground.
The two rivals punched at each other but it did not hit either one of them. Optimus used his other hand and was able to hit Megatron. Megatron was taken aback. He then charged at Optimus. The Autobot leader took out his swords and struck Megatron. Megatron crashed into a pile of rocks.
Thunderblast was watching the battle from afar. She feared for her leader's life.
"Megatron!" She was about to go to him but Scourge stopped her.
"This is his battle. We have no right to interfere." Scourge said.
"But he might go offline!" Scourge said nothing in return.
Megatron fell to his knees and dropped the Omega Lock. Optimus picked it up. But, Megatron was able to recover and stood up. The Decepticon leader activated his Cyber Key Power and used his gatling gun. Optimus countered with his own weapons. There was an explosion. Optimus used this time to open a warp gate back to Cybertron. He went to Vector Prime.
"Vector Prime! I need you to crush this warp gate by opening another one."
Vector Prime nodded his head in agreement and used his sword to open another warp gate that went over the one Optimus came out of. But, both of the warp gated vanished and another one was opened. Megatron was trying to get it to open. He had scratches all over him. He was yelling as he tried to get it open. Thunderblast and Scourge were behind him.
Thunderblast was couldn't stand it anymore. "Megatron stop! You're gonna-"
"Scourge, take Thunderblast and get out!" Megatron yelled.
"Understood."
Scourge grabbed Thunderblast and looked for an opening in the warp gate big enough for them to go through. When he spotted one, Thunderblast and himself went through it. They looked back at Megatron who was still struggling to hold it open. He didn't last long as it was too much for him.
"I cannot go offline!" Megatron thought. "If I go offline, Thunderblast… Starscream might…"
"This isn't over Autobots! I'll be back!" Megatron was then crushed by the warp gate.
Scourge and Thunderblast saw this from afar. Thunderblast was whimpering.
"Why did we just stand by and let this happen?" Thunderblast softly asked.
"There was nothing we could do about it." Scourge replied.
"Megatron…"
"He was a great leader. But we mustn't stay long. Let's find the others." Scourge went back to the other half of the space bridge. After staring at where the warp gate had disappeared for a few seconds, Thunderblast went after him.
Ransack and Crumplezone were racing in circles on the space bridge in their alternate modes. Thundercracker simply cheered them on. They transformed back into their robot modes when Scourge and Thunderblast arrived.
"Back already? Where's the Omega Lock thing? Oh, and the boss?" Ransack asked.
Thunderblast did not speak. She went a few feet away from the group. Scourge sighed before answering Ransack's question.
"The Omega Lock is still with the Autobots. As for Megatron… he is no more."
"So, what do we do now?" Crumplezone asked.
They remained silent. Until Thunderblast went back to approach them. She looked very serious. The other Decepticons waited on what she was planning to do.
"I'll tell you what we're gonna do. We're gonna attack the Autobots and get that Omega Lock. Megatron would have done the same."
The others nodded their heads in agreement.
"Wait, who's gonna lead us?" Thundercracker asked as he scratched the back of his head.
Ransack stomped on the space bridge. "Let's hold a tournament against each other! Winner gets to be the boss!" The three other mechs agreed.
Ransack, Crumplezone and Thundercracker immediately attacked each other. Scourge used his flamethrower on them. They were easily overpowered by the Planet Leader. Thunderblast had enough.
"Stop that! Why don't we just attack already? Whoever gets the Omega Lock first will be the new leader how's that?" The mechs stopped fighting and they all proceeded to Cybertron.
Back on Cybertron, the planet had now transformed into a giant Transformer. The Decepticons immediately launched an attack on the Autobots. The Autobots attacked back at them.
Thunderblast blasted her way through some scrapmetal drones. She then encountered Jetfire.
"Hold on, you're not going anywhere." Jetfire said.
"I don't have time for this!"
"Then allow me. CYBER KEY POWER!" Jetfire launched his lasers and it struck the femme but she was able to recover. Then, Thundercracker tackled Jetfire and the two started to fight. Thunderblast left them alone and continued to look for the Omega Lock. But, she was once again stopped by anither Autobot. This time, it was Evac.
"Sorry, missy. But you're not gonna get the Omega Lock."
"Watch me." Thunderblast activated her Cyber Key Power and shot at the Autobot. Evac was able to dodge it but because of the missiles' impact, there was smoke in front of him. When it cleared, Thunderblast had escaped.
"Where is she?"
Thunderblast ran and ran. "Megatron don't worry. With the Omega Lock, I might be able to bring you back."
The femme stopped when she saw a figure floating above her. It was dark but she easily recognized the figure. Her optics widened with joy.
"Megatron!"
Both Autobots and Decepticons stopped their fight and looked at the direction where the the sound of Megatron's name came from. They were all shocked. Thunderblast smiled as wide as she could.
Megatron slowly opened his optics. He examined his surroundings. Megatron saw the other Transformers. He also saw a dark mist that surrounded him.
"W-where am I?" The Decepticon leader could hear a voice saying his name.
"That voice, it's so familiar."
Megatron lowered his head and saw Thunderblast. She was the one calling out his name. This put a small smile on his face.
"She's fine… Starscream did not hurt her." Megatron landed on the floor near Thunderblast. Megatron could not speak. He thought that it was probably the mist preventing him to do so. The Decepticon leader saw the smile on Thunderblast's face as she spoke.
"You're all right." The femme softly said.
Then, Landmine, Leobreaker, and Crosswise appeared behind Thunderblast. Megatron glared at them. He went in front of Thunderblast and the laser fire of the Autobots simply dissolved as they hit the Decepticon leader. Thunderblast shot back at the Autobots.
"The Omega Lock, it might be able to help you. I'll hold them off." Thunderblast said.
Megatron understood her and left.
Megatron floated around the planet searching for the Omega Lock. On the way, he had encountered a weakened Crumplezone and to Megatron's surprise, he had upgraded the racer into "Dark Crumplezone". The Decepticon leader had then arrived back where he had left Thunderblast to hold off the Autobots. He saw Thunderblast taking cover near one of the walls. She was blasting at the Autobots as well. Megatron smirked. Thunderblast had shown him how much determination she had. She blasted any Autobot in her way. Megatron had to admit, Thunderblast was pretty good.
Then, Leobreaker charged at the femme. Thunderblast used her weapon but Leobreaker easily dodged the missiles. Megatron noticed this and went in front of Thunderblast. Leobreaker struck Megatron with his claws. But, this made the mist disappear from Megatron. The Decepticon leader was back to normal. The mist went to Megatron's side and it slowly became another figure. It was a darker version of Leobreaker.
"Who's that?" Leobreaker asked.
"This is Nemesis Breaker."
Thunderblast approached her leader.
"You're back! No mist anymore!"
Megatron nodded his head. "Wait, the Omega Lock."
The two Decepticons spotted it at the far side of the planet. "Let's go!"
Megatron transformed into his alternate mode and proceeded to the Omega Lock. Optimus and the other Autobots noticed this.
"We have to get to the Omega Lock first!" Optimus transformed into his alternate mode and, along with the other Autobots, chased after Megatron to the far side of the planet.
Author's Note: Aww, Megatron and Thunderblast look so cute together in this chapter. Until next chapter.
