Hey everyone! I'm back and here with a new story. As you can tell from the title and story description, this story takes place on Garrus-9 and will feature two OCs of mine plus a few other characters.
Before we jump into chapter one, I want to clarify something. Even though the G-9 story takes place in the comics (Last Stand of the Wreckers), I do not have this story set up in the comic's story line. It's based off of it, but its not it. This is my own version of what happened. It will still have some of the same characters, but I am also adding/changing characters, two of which are OCs of mine. There are some parts in this story that did happen in the comics, but don't expect much. The reason why I am mentioning this is because I don't want you all to read this story and then message me saying "You did this wrong" or "this didn't happen in the comics." I'll say it again, this story does not follow the comic storyline. There will be similarities, but not entirely. Just want to make that clear to all of you. For those of you wondering if we will see the Wreckers in this story, yes we will, but it won't be for a while. And another thing I want to mention, there will be no pairings in this story. Sorry.
This story will definitely be a lot darker compared to my other two stories. There will be a lot of robot violence/gore and character deaths. Don't say I didn't warn you.
I also want to thank my friend for helping me out. Every time I have a question about something for my stories, she's the person I go to. She's very awesome and I thank her for that.
Anyway, enough with my rambling and lets get into this story. Here is chapter one where we meet our main antagonist. I hope you like it.
Transformers: G-9
Chapter 1: Overlord
Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers.
(Caldoon 4)
The sound of gunshots filled the air as a team of autobots advanced forward towards the decepticon outpost. The decepticons fired back, but were taking heavy damage. They were outnumbered and outgunned, giving the bots the upper hand.
"We got em now, bots!" the autobot team's captain yelled at his subordinates, "keep going!"
"Take this you slag eaters!" one of the autotroopers shouted as he fired his gun at a couple vehicons, offlining them instantly.
Losing more of their soldiers, the remaining cons tried to fight back as the autobots continued to push forward. Firing his blaster, one of the vehicons received a message as he put his digit to his audio receptor. His optic visor widening with fright, he looked at his fellow cons. "Fall back, now!" he ordered, "move it!"
The autobots watched as the enemy ceased firing and started running in the opposite direction.
"Haha, look at that!" one of the autotroopers said with a laugh, "we got them running scared!"
"Hey!" another shouted at the fleeing cons, "come back and fight, you cowards!"
"Come on, bots!" the autobot captain yelled, "it's time we shut this down!"
Hearing a noise coming from behind, one of the bots turned around and looked up. "Sir!" he shouted at his captain while pointing up at the sky, "we have incoming!"
The others turned around and looked up to see what he was seeing. Sure enough, they saw something heading straight for them.
"What is that?" another autotrooper asked.
It wasn't until it got closer that one of them got a better view. A look of horror immediately swept across his face when he saw who it was. "Oh slag!" he exclaimed, "we have to run!"
"Why?" his friend asked, "what's-" he didn't get to finish his question as a shot fired from above and completely blew his head off. All their jaws dropped as the bot's headless body fell to the ground.
Looking back up, the captain readied his gun. "Shoot him down!" he ordered.
The team fired at the enemy as he got closer. The aircraft swooped at them, making them hit the ground and cover their helms. Going back up and turning around, the aircraft headed straight for them again before splitting in two, revealing to be a jet and a tank. The two transformed and combined together just before dropping down in front of the team. Dust filled the air as the bots shielded their optics. Once the air was clear, they looked to see a large decepticon before them. All of their optics fearfully widened as he stood up to his full height.
"No," one autotrooper whimpered, "nonononono."
"Overlord," another fearfully murmured.
The large blue, white, and purple decepticon turned around and looked at them with a sadistic smile. "Hi there," he said, "hope you don't mind me dropping in. So… what did I miss?"
Glaring at the decepticon general, the autobot captain raised his weapon up. "Fire!" he ordered.
The autotroopers fired at the decepticon with everything they had, but their attacks barely made a dent in his armor.
Completely unfazed by their fire power, Overlord chuckled at them. "Cute," he said as he pulled out his large gun. He fired his weapon multiple times at the team, instantly killing a bunch of autotroopers in the process.
Seeing his bots falling one by one, the captain scowled as he looked back at the con. "Keep firing!" he ordered the others.
"That's right," Overlord said, "nobody likes a quitter." He then ran towards them before leaping into the air and continued firing, shooting more autobots down before he even landed back on his pedes. The autotrooper closest to him fired his weapon from behind, trying to cause some sort of damage to the con. But his attempt was hopeless as Overlord turned around and grabbed him by the helm. Hoisted into the air, the bot frantically kicked as he tried to free himself from the large servo wrapped around his helm. Overlord only tightened his grip and crushed the bot's head in an instant. Energon splattered out between the con's digits as the bot's body went limp.
"Is that all you got?" Overlord asked the others as he let the bot fall to the ground. "I'm beginning to wonder if you're even trying."
Even more furious, the autobot captain refused to give up. "Tear him apart!" he yelled.
Overlord smirked as the autobots charged at him. Putting away his gun, he cracked his knuckles and fought back. The battle immediately became a massacre as Overlord tore apart the bots, sending energon and parts flying everywhere. Those who tried to flee didn't get far as the con caught them. It hadn't even been three minutes by the time the decepticon general was done his work. All that was left were mangled bodies, limbs, parts, and energon spread out across the battlefield.
Covered in his victims' energon, Overlord yawned from boredom as he looked at the mess he made. "Well that was boring," he said with a frown. He then turned around to look at the three remaining bots he kept alive.
Battered and bleeding, the two autotroopers and their captain were on their knees and held at gun point by three vehicons.
His sadistic grin back on his face, Overlord walked over and knelt down in front of them. "So, you boys thought you could all just come knocking and pick a fight? Didn't end well for your buddies, now did it? Though if you ask me, they were the lucky ones. They went quick."
"Go to the Pit!" one of the autotroopers angrily said before getting kicked in the torso by a vehicon. He spat out energon as he hunched over in pain.
Overlord only smirked. "You're probably wondering why I've killed all the others, but only kept you three alive."
"If you think we're going to give you any information, forget it," the autobot captain said.
"Oh no," the decepticon general said, "I don't want information. I want to play a little game."
The captain glared at him. "Oh really," he said, "well I know how your games work, Overlord. We're not interested."
Overlord lifted the captain's chin up and grinned at him. "Oh, you're going to play whether you like it or not," he said, "and guess what, Captain. You're it." The con then stood back up and towered over them. "Here's how this works," he said, "there are only three of you, but only two of you will walk away." He looked at the captain. "All you have to do is make a decision. Which one of your subordinates will live... and which one will die."
The captain's optics fearfully widened at this.
"You have fifteen seconds to decide which one I should kill," the con continued, "and I should probably mention, the longer you take to choose, the slower the death will be. Your time starts now."
"No," the captain said, "I'm not playing your stupid game! I'm not going to choose for your sick twisted amusement!"
"ten seconds," the con said.
Not wanting to choose either one of his subordinates to be killed, he continued protesting. "Look, if you want to offline someone then offline me!" he said, "let the other two go and kill me instead!"
"Sorry, but that's not how the game works," Overlord said, "five seconds."
"Frag the game, offline me!" the captain shouted.
"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock," the con said tauntingly as he grinned.
"Kill me!"
"Oh frag this!" the autotrooper on the right said as he leaped up and pulled out a hidden dagger. Letting out a yell, he lunged at the decepticon general for the attack. Unfortunately, Overlord was too quick and easily grabbed him by the arm holding the weapon. He let out a painful yell as the con gripped his arm tightly, making him let go of the blade. His pedes dangled in the air, the bot furiously tried to free himself as Overlord chuckled at him.
"Looks like someone here is asking for trouble," the decepticon general said maliciously, "in that case, allow me to oblige you." Tightening his grip even more, the bot let out a loud painful scream as Overlord crushed his arm.
"No!" the autobot captain shouted as he and the other autotrooper went to help their comrade. Immediately they were both pinned down by the vehicons and were forced to watch Overlord tear their friend apart. By the time Overlord was done, the bot's arms and legs were no longer attached to him and his cables were pulled out from his torso. Energon was rapidly pooling around him as he laid there, his optics fearfully wide as they began flickering. He was in too much pain to even continue screaming and was having trouble venting.
"Well you were definitely a screamer," Overlord said as he wiped his energon stained servos together, "I could have just ripped out your voice box, but that's overdone. Things like that get old really fast. Wouldn't you agree?"
The dying autotrooper didn't answer as he coughed out a large amount of energon. Having lost too much of it, the bot struggled to stay online. Soon he turned to gray as his optics dimmed to black.
Evilly chuckling, Overlord looked at the other two prisoners as the vehicons pulled them back up to their knees. "Did you enjoy the show?" he asked as he kicked the dead autotrooper over to them.
"You monster!" the captain angrily shouted.
"Oh, I'm the monster?" Overlord asked as he knelt down in front of him, "this is coming from the captain who lead his bots to their death. How many of you were there again? Thirty? Fifty? I lost count after I killed the first dozen. What was it you told them? Keep firing. Tear him apart. You could have ordered them to retreat. Then maybe, just maybe if they were lucky, they could have lived long enough to see another day."
The captain glared at him, but the guilt was becoming more visible in his optics. He knew he could have ordered his bots to retreat. Instead, he ordered them to stay and fight. They trusted him. And he got them killed.
"Now… what were we doing again?" Overlord asked as he stood back up, "oh yes! We were playing a game. I said that only two of you would walk away while the third joins the AllSpark. And as we can see, there are now only two of you." Without any warning, Overlord pulled out his gun and fired it at the remaining autotrooper in the spark chamber.
"NO!" the captain shouted as the bot fell to the ground with a big hole through his chest. Watching him fade to gray, the captain furiously looked at the con. "You said two would walk away!"
"I did," Overlord said, "however, you didn't make your decision when the time ran out. All you had to do was pick one. Instead, you got both of them killed just like the rest of them. Some leader you turned out to be."
"You fragger!" the captain yelled, only for one of the vehicons to punch him in the side of the helm. Falling on his side, the bot spat out energon as everything around him spun.
"I really was going to let you just walk away," Overlord said, "but since you refused to play my game, you're not leaving anytime soon. But don't worry. I don't plan on killing you. Not yet anyway." But before he could do anything, the con heard a beeping sound coming from his arm. Realizing the time, he let out an annoyed vent before looking back at the bot. "Looks like we will have to continue this later," he said, "I'm late for a meeting." He looked at the vehicons. "Keep an optic on him. I won't be long."
"Yes, General Overlord," they said.
Overlord walked past them and towards the small building in the center of the outpost. Once he was alone, he pulled out a hologram projector and set it on the ground for the teleconference. Stepping back, the projector opened up and revealed the holograms of Megatron, Sixshot, and Black Shadow waiting for him.
"Ah, Overlord," Megatron said, "how nice of you to finally join us. I see you've been busy."
"My apologies," Overlord said as he wiped the energon off of him, "unlike Black Shadow and Sixshot here, my servos were full."
Both Black Shadow and Sixshot frowned at him. "More like you were feeding your killing obsession," Black Shadow commented.
"Don't be jealous just because I'm being more productive than you, Black Shadow," Overlord said.
"That's enough," Megatron said, "now that you are all here, I can tell you the reason for this meeting. I have new orders for all three of you. I have finalized the six stage infiltration protocol. You three will be my phase sixers, visiting planets on the brink of collapsing and crushing our opponents in the name of the decepticons."
"For the decepticons!" Sixshot and Black Shadow said proudly.
Overlord however was unimpressed. "Hmm," he said loudly.
Megatron looked at him. "Something wrong, Overlord?"
"Oh nothing at all," Overlord said, "except for the fact you see me as your own personal doomsday device."
"You dare speak to our leader in such a manner?" Black Shadow asked with a frown.
"Think about it, Black Shadow," Overlord said to him, "doesn't it sound like a demotion to you? Wouldn't you and Sixshot prefer to be something great for once in your lives?"
Both cons scowled at him for his comment.
"Why don't you come over to my location and say that to my face, Overlord?!" Sixshot challenged him.
"Oh, did I strike a nerve, Sixshot?" Overlord asked with a grin, "because I can do so much worse."
"Enough, all of you!" Megatron ordered sternly. He frowned at Overlord. "I have put up with your childish behavior for quite some time, Overlord, but I expect you to follow my orders, whether you like it or not," he said.
"And what if, unlike these two, I aspire to be more than your little pet warhead?" Overlord asked.
"Then you have two options," the decepticon leader said, "option one… you do as I say. Option two… you don't and I hunt you down and tear you limb from limb. Do I make myself clear?"
His grin now gone, Overlord silently looked at his leader.
"I said, do I make myself clear?" Megatron repeated.
"...Crystal," he finally said.
Soon as the teleconference ended, the holograms disappeared as the projector closed. Overlord just stood there, thinking about what the decepticon leader just told him. Looking down at the projector, he pulled out his gun and shot it, destroying it completely.
The vehicons kept their weapons on the bot as they waited for the general to return. That's when they heard the gun shot coming from inside the building. Confused, they looked at it as they lowered their weapons.
Seeing his friend's dagger laying a few feet away from him, the autobot took the opportunity and swung his leg under one of the vehicons, causing him to fall back and knock over the other vehicon right behind him. The captain then lunged for the dagger and threw it at the third vehicon before he could fire. The blade pierced through the con's head, killing him immediately as he fell to the ground. Seeing their fellow con down, the other two got back up and started firing. Dodging their attack, the bot tucked and rolled over to his blaster and fired back, hitting them both in the spark chamber. Soon as they were down, he transformed and drove off as fast as he could. He tried his best to ignore the shooting pain from his injuries, only wanting to focus on getting out of the area alive. Unfortunately, he didn't get far as a large shadow flew over him.
Overlord transformed and landed right in front of the fleeing autobot. He punched down on the very front of the car, causing it to flip over and violently roll across the ground.
The autobot captain transformed back into bot mode before coming to a full stop. Soon as he did, he let out a groan as he laid there on his front. He saw his blaster a little ways away from him and started crawling to grab it, only for the large con to stomp down on the weapon, crushing it under his pede. Thinking this was his final moment before joining the AllSpark, the bot braced himself as he glared at the con. Though when he looked at his optics, he noticed they looked… empty. As if the general's mind was somewhere else. He felt very uneasy as Overlord quietly looked at him. After a moment, the bot soon found himself being picked up by the neck and brought up to Overlord's optic level.
"I want you to deliver a message to Megatron," the con told him, "tell him I chose option two… and that I'll be waiting for him." He then let the bot fall to the ground before stepping over him.
Still alive, the bot watched as the con walked away, leaving him very confused as he wondered what just happened.
Overlord kept walking as an evil grin slowly formed on his face. Transforming and joining his jet and tank modes together, he took off towards the sky as he started planning.
And that was chapter one! I hope you liked it. Overlord is one of my favorite bad guys and I hope I did him justice in this chapter. I've heard people do voices for him on youtube and they are really good. If I were to decide who should voice Overlord, it would be either Stuart A. Hutson or Connor Mckinley.
Next chapter I will introduce my OCs and the other characters. Hopefully I will post it soon. Until next time! God bless!
