Chapter 5: Galvatron
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN
Dark depths are cold and merciless to the unwary as the various sea life pass through harmlessly. Fish swam here and there along with some other creatures that man has never laid eyes on.
But here in the dark depths something stirs an unrest that has not settled in with the being who awaits hidden in darkness.
In the darkness two blood red lights shown as a being of complete evil began to rise from the depths.
Galvatron
The eyes turned upwards towards the light and the surface.
I hear you my master
Arise my servant and rein your destruction upon the universe once more.
I am yours to command Unicron
With that the being rose to the surface and an earth shattering scream could be heard as the metallic being roared his rage to the heavens.
He launched himself into the sky and transformed heading towards the one planet that he originated from.
CYBERTRON
FAR BELOW THE SURFACE IN ANOTHER PART OF THE OCEAN
Titan moved with grace through the ocean.
His aquatic body allowed him to come into contact with creatures that no human can ever see and so he recorded it on his infilred vision. Having the body of a prehistoric creature had suited Titan well as he explored the vast depths of the ocean.
As he swam he always was filled with wonder on the ocean's depths. But by far this was the deepest part of the ocean that he had ever been to (and the farthest from home). He sent a series of clicks into the water hoping to find his way around in the dark. It was then that his echoes reflected something metallic off to the side.
Curious Titan swam towards that particular area and after a few more clicks was surprised to find something under the water. It was small by far and to him it resembled a scorpion and right next to it something else even smaller. Titan swam around it and then further down following a trail of clicks and echoes. He came across sever more of these metallic bodies and realized right away that they were Cybertronians!
Surprised Titan swam around the entire area to find the bodies of many of his people. And curiosity was one of his strong points as he picked up the two smallest of the bodies and swam back the way he came.
BACK AT THE SHIP
"I Swear Artemis I found it at the bottom of a trench. It is the deepest trench I swam in so far! I mean all the fishes and the sea life down there are amazing but when I found that scorpion and that small metal thing I had to bring it up!" Titan said excitedly as he leaped up and down in the air.
"Now hold on a sec Tai let me get a better look at this," Artemis said as she inspected the two and found that they are indeed corpses of Cybertronians.
"Eww Tai you just had to bring home two dead 'bots," she glared at him.
"Who brought home dead 'bots," asked a voice and the two turned to see Nanobite just behind them.
"Um Nanobite ma'am I just brought this home from the ocean floor ma'am," Titan said proudly showing off his new treasure.
Nanobite's form floated towards the two on the floor. Shrinking in size she approached them and her hands delicately went over each form performing many scans.
"They are badly damaged and it was done recently at least over sever months ago," she said
"They must have come from Mission City," Artemis said.
"I don't think so the scorpion one here looks like he was extracted from the desert," Nanobite said as she felt around and her fingers traced sand.
"What about this one?" asked Titan pointed to the smaller one.
"It looks like his head was shot off," was the reply.
"Can't we repair them?" asked Artemis,
"Sure we can, I will get started right away," Nanobite said as she called some of the drones to take them.
MEAHWHILE
Alex walked along the halls of Molokai High School with her cousin Lori, Kyouji was at the computer lab retyping a paper that had apparently gotten an F grade due to poor content.
The two girls had gotten out of their fifth period and was making their way over to the cafeteria for some much needed lunch.
The smell of freshly baked bread and hot meats filled the air as they walked in and already the line was long.
"Damn Alex this place sure is packed again," said Lori
"Oh look it's the chum bait," said someone off to the side and Alex sneered at the girl sitting on the table.
Alex growled low in her throat to the only person who would dare call her that.
She wore bleach blond hair and her face was plastered in makeup. She wore clothes that make even hookers yank and she reeked of pheromone enhanced perfumes that make even old women gag.
"Tyra Miller," Alex growled low again.
The girl in question gave Alex a greasy look.
"Well Paké bitch I heard from a little birdie that you are going to the mainland," she said always the gossip as it is.
"What does that make it to you?" Alex said
"Ah I bet you are going robot hunting for those metal recycle bins that you call siblings," she laughed and the others laughed with her.
"I rather hang with them then a whore like you!" Alex shot back and the laughing stopped.
"What did you call me?" Tyra said her eyes narrowed
"You heard me you painted can of fish bait! No wait you are worse then that you are a pile of pig shit that even the owner refuses to use for his gardens." Alex shot and Tyra stood up to her full height with her friends in tow.
"I dare you say that again robo-bitch!" Tyra said
"You are a pile of pig shit!" Alex nearly screamed with Lori in a fighting pose.
Tyra launched herself at Alex but before she touched her something silver streaked out of her bag and onto Tyra's face.
"AAAAHAHHHHHHH GET IT OFF OF ME!" Tyra screamed and the sound of growling could be heard.
Alex looked up to see Scrappy attacking Tyra's face.
The little Nokia phone was intent on defending his master's honor, and the other girls screamed in horror.
The phone then leaped off of Tyra and attacked another girl ripping at her clothes till they came down in tatters.
"Scrappy no!" yelled Alex and the phone leaped off of them and stood in front of his master growling low in his throat.
"No touch!" he yelled at them in his broken language.
The girls backed away from them.
"Just you wait Alex one of these days you won't have that little piece of garbage protecting you," the girl yelled as she and her friends fled the scene.
The other students gathered and applauded Alex as she stood nervously and glanced down at Scrappy. The little phone gave a huff before leaping back into Alex's hand and transforming back into a phone.
Alex put the phone back into her pocket and turned to the looming form of the principal staring down at her.
"Ummm," Alex tried to say something.
"Save it for after detention and a phone call from your parents. At least for you no permanent damage was done to Ms. Miller." He said menacingly
"Can we say something in Alex's defense," Lori said
"No, it is she who must answer to school rules and I will see you in my office," he said.
Alex hung her head low as she gathered her bag and walked out the door.
"No worries Alex we will save you some lunch," said Lori as she and some of the other girls walked towards the line.
-----Cybertron-----
"It is logical that the next heir should be named but as it stands now the traitor Starscream now stands trial before us," the monotone voice of Shockwave filled the Audience Chambers of Darkmoon Fortress.
The purple triple changer's single optic shown on the individual before him. As steward of Cybertron it was his duty to make sure Lord Megatron's orders were carried out.
But the bot before him was not Lord Megatron that much he knew.
The individual before him may look like Megatron but his optics shown wrong. It went through many logic circuits in Shockwave's head but he still could not find the logical reason for this Galvatron to stand in his leader's body.
From what he could remember Galvatron was the mythical minion of Unicron the lord of chaos and destruction. In the old legends of Cybertron he was the bringer of death and destruction.
And here he is in the flesh standing before Shockwave as he truly is a lord of death.
"Does this body not suit you my logical friend," Galvatron said rather smoothly.
To Shockwave he was rather oily smooth from what his words say. At his feet stood the bound form of Starscream the traitor. The former air commander had a pair of energy shackles and was being led down the corridor towards the throne where Galvatron sat.
The new leader of the Decepticons sat with Shockwave on one side looking down on him.
"Starscream your crimes against the Decepticon cause has caused you to be found guilty to treason to the former Lord Megatron. What is your plea?" Shockwave said his monotone dragged through the chamber.
The Decepticon forces all stood at attention awaiting the words of Starscream.
Silence was their answer and a death glare that could melt through anything.
"Starscream you are sentenced to eternity in the gladiator pits where you will fight to the death." Said Galvatron obviously pleased when they dragged Starscream away.
The new lord of the Decepticons was pleased with the results.
Starscream did not say a word when they dragged him away into the darkness that would be his new hell.
PAKELE RESIDENCE
"I swear dad I did not know Scrappy was in my bag!" Alex explained normally Skeeter was the one in the bag but it seems as if the roles were reversed.
"I was thrown out of the bag before you left," Skeeter said as he sat on the table.
"I did not notice till I've heard the phone grumbling that something was up," said Obun as she sat down.
"I did not know I swear!" Alex said
"Well you are lucky that the Millers are nice people aside from their daughter," Mrs. Pakele said a clearly Hawaiian woman with her strong features and athletic build. Her shoulder length hair made the difference though.
"Well at least you are not at fault for this as her friends confessed to their misdeeds. Several witnesses gave that info freely." She said
In the meantime a certain Nokia phone was trying to sneak away.
"Where do you think you're going Scrappy we are not done with you yet!" yelled Mr. Pakele Alex's dad.
"Alex you are free to go just remember to double check who is going with you to school next time," she said and the smaller phone crouched low knowing that he was in a lot of trouble.
THE HANGER
"What are you doing?" asked Kyouji as he and Lori sat in the hanger with the twins.
"We are simply fixing the steering on Radon's right wing it is acting up again," Lori said as she finished the adjustments.
"I swear to God those military mechanics are a bunch of idiots," Lori said as she finished the paneling.
"Really? What did they do this time?" asked Kyouji
"They simply put the bolt hinges for an F-15 in an F-22 and vice versa. I swear they can't get the twins right!" she said
"Well those guys are a bunch of idiots I think Kayla over in Hanger three is the only competent mechanic." Rodan complained.
"Oh really?" Lori said
"Yes, she yelled at them a lot especially at the head mechanic because she told them how and with what to use to maintain us but they just locked her in a closet and shut the door. It took the other mechanics a while to figure out that she was locked in there. When they did the damage was already done to us because we were gone. You see we did not realize the damage they did to us until we did our usual maneuvers with the squadrons until our steering gave out and we nearly crashed into each other," Radon replied.
"Well now that you are back we managed to fix that problem." Lori said finishing her job on Radon.
"Lets finish those new decals shall we?" she said and got out some paint for the jets.
"What are you doing?" asked Kyouji
"I am modifying the decal a bit. I think a sort of Yin Yang look would do it," she said she cleaned off the last of the old decal and painted the new one on.
It was different then the old one with the circle and one side with the Autobot and the other with the Decepticon insignia. There was a dragon and a phoenix in the picture this time with the same design as the first one with the phoenix holding the circle but this time the dragon was the phoenix. Kyouji noticed that the phoenix held some draconic features in it but still held its fiery appearance. The words 'Till All are One' is still written in both Cybertronian and English with the Kanji of unity inside the Yin Yang Circle.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Kyouji asked as Lori climbed down from the ladder.
"Oh course it is a piece of art," Lori replied as she put away the brush and walked over to the other twin to do the same.
Both twins smirked as she added on each a different feature with Rodan being the phoenix with feathers barely visible in his frame and scales on Radon; who was to be the dragon.
Seemingly satisfied Lori looked at her handiwork.
Both bots looked the same except for the new decal under the cockpit on both sides and if you look close enough the texture of their armor resembles either feathers or scales.
"The dragon and the phoenix, light and dark both joined as one to create balance don't you think," Lori said smirking.
Kyouji shook his head, "You are weird Lori," he said
"Of course," was the reply.
---BACK ON CYBERTRON----
If there was one thing that Soundwave feared it was the destruction of his cassettes. His children were the most precious thing to him and frankly at the moment he was glad that the lie he gave to Megatron saved them.
He managed to make it to the very end of the Gladiator barracks and it was there that he had heard cursing.
Signaling to the guard to open the door Soundwave entered the room.
"Need help?" Soundwave asked noticing that the other mech had some difficulty getting to a rather nasty wound.
"Back off Soundwave!" the figure in the dark said.
"I brought you your Energon Starscream," Soundwave replied as he put the cube down.
Starscream turned his head and it was then that Soundwave realized that the seeker's optics are missing.
"Is this Galvatron's way of a joke," Starscream hissed
"What happened to you?" Soundwave asked
"Galvatron wanted to make sure that I lost and so removed my optics," he said shifting himself so he could hear Soundwave better.
"What about your sensor's array?"
"Gone," Starscream replied as he sat down.
"I see,"
--BACK ON EARTH—
Alex was practicing a kata or Martial Arts move as she wove through holographic enemies.
Those enemies attacked at different patterns and were highly unpredictable and so she moved with the same notion. Her black Gi with the family crest on the back. She laughed as she fought the enemies sweat pouring from her face.
The holograms suddenly flickered off and Alex turned to find Sonic standing at the doorway.
"What is it Sonic?" she asked
"Nothing I was going to tell you that dinner is ready," he said and she nodded.
---CYBERTRON---
Galvatron walked down the hallway towards his quarters which was on the other side of the building. As he walked his mind was excited. The huge doors that separated his chambers from the rest of Darkmoon kept the lord in a happy state.
Opening the door he walked in and shut it behind him.
The chambers were dark and vast as expected for a ruler. Walking in he spotted the shrine with the symbol of Unicron near the sky roof. Galvatron knelt down in the light of Cybertron's moon before the shrine of Unicron.
What many don't know was that Megatron was long dead the day he fell into that pit before the war. That pit had contained the soul of the banished Galvatron the bringer of chaos and destruction and avatar of Unicron. Bowing before the symbol Galvatron addressed his master.
"My lord," he said
I sensed the return of my avatar. Welcome back my son, a looming voice said
"I have returned my lord to full fill your wishes. The Autobots and the Decepticons are still fighting even though they are nearly extinct," Galvatron replied
excellent their destruction will mean my resurrection the voice said.
"My lord Unicron all the hatred from the war feeds you as of now I can sense your strength my master. I can't wait till you return," Galvatron said
I know my child but you must wait a little longer for I sensed a disturbance in the time stream it has been there for some time. I need you to investigate it immediately was the reply
"As you wish my master," was the reply
