Chapter 55: Dragon vs. Nemesis
Radon could feel the power pulsing from where she was as her spark shown brightly as her newly made armor gave her the appearance of someone who is half dragon, half Cybertronian.
The symbols on her wings glowed along with the symbol on her chest. Radon was more then ready for a fight. The lightsaber like sword that Obun had given her was a powerful weapon indeed to have.
Nemesis was the first to charge as he came at Radon his weapon held high. The Deceptibot dodged as she leaped away with a back flip. Charging him while he lifted his heavy weapon she skillfully fought him off.
They fought and dueled for quite sometime each parrying the other's blows. At one point Radon had to go with one side of her pole which turned into a regular lightsaber.
The assault was on.
---THUNDERCRACKER----
"Sir we are in serious need of backup," said an Autobot named Powerglide
"Hate to say it Powerglide but backup will not be joining us we are on our own," replied Thundercracker.
Powerglide nearly gotten hit as he dodged another of the tentacles.
Miles was exhausted having not been used to battle but he kept on going.
"Hey T.C.?" he asked
"Yes," Thundercracker said after firing off another round of laser fire at a bunch of the Unicronian immune system.
"When this is over what will you and the other Cybertronians be doing?" he asked
"I guess we will be living on Earth," Thundercracker replied sadly
"Why? What happened to your own world?" he asked
"Cybertron is gone Miles destroyed by our war long ago. We destroyed our world because of our hatred of each other. We cared more for the destruction of the other sect then in the preservation of our planet. Unlike you humans who will decay and return to the earth to renew it. We Cybertronians have no such luxury our bodies littered the ground and clutter up the once beautiful streets of Cybertron." Again he dodged and Miles took out that thing without flinching.
"So what will you guys do here on Earth?" Miles asked
"Hopefully rebuild what was lost and maybe help you humans in return. Who knows what the future brings if we get out of this alive," Thundercracker replied.
"Well I will tell you one thing I am glad I met you guys," Miles said
That in itself if Thundercracker were human he would have blushed in embarrassment.
"Me too, kid, me too,"
Just then there was an explosion from above as Thundercracker dodged the falling form of something that did not appear like any fighter.
"Protective shield is down! I repeat protective shield is down! This is Silverbolt all shields are down commence attack on main Processing unit!" was the voice that was heard on the comm...
"This is Thundercracker commence attack! All fighters commence attack on main processing unit." With that the blue Decepticon banked and made his attack run with Miles on the weapons depot shooting away anyone that came near.
----SAM---
Scorponok led Sam down the tunnels a bit until Sam fell to the ground exhausted. Scorponok skittered up to him and began to mew for him to get up.
"I can't Scorponok not with Radon in there fighting off that evil alone," He said to the drone.
Scorponok nudged his head at Sam and begged to be petted. Sam replied and petted the drone on his head scared himself and exhausted.
"I don't know what to do Scorponok," he whispered at the drone.
"I am so small I don't know how I will do this? I mean I am just baggage to them and all I will do is get in the way." Sam for the first time since he was in kindergarten started to cry.
As the tears fell Scorponok leaned in to offer some comfort as he to gave a whine of sadness for all that has happened recently. He was frightened that his world is about to die and that the only one left standing to fight them off was one human, a drone and a warrior that can only fight for so long.
It was then that he felt something burning in his hand. He looked down and stared at the scars on his hand from when the Allspark burned him. Yet he had no Allspark power in him that is all he had was scars. He then remembered Bumblebee and Mikaela the times they shared together as well as those of the other Autobots.
He remembered Miles and how he reacted to the discovery of giant Alien Robots from another planet; even his own childhood when he was beaten by Trent or going on make believe camping trips with Miles. Then he remembered all the friends he had and had left because as time went on they grew up and moved on. Now though all his really dear friends and enemies are dying to stop the universe from ending.
Sam just stared at his hands looking at the scars that were made on the part of the Allspark. His memories of when he killed Megatron flashed in his eyes for the first time as well as the words that were said by Nanobite when they took their history lesson of Cybertron.
The Allspark is the giver of life it was created by the gods long ago before time began. And when that power was abused by all it was sent into space. Not only that but when the femmes were hunted down they took their most precious gift and gave it to the stars. He sacrificed his species way to reproduce to bring peace to the universe and he I mean the Prime of Cybertron. He is the one who holds the second piece of Primus the Matrix of Leadership which is passed down from Autobot to Autobot in hopes of keeping the peace.
The third piece is the legendary Vector Sigma the key to giving all Transformers the rights to think and form bodies. When all three keys are combined they become Primus and Primus will reign peace across the galaxy again,
That was the old saying from Nanobite as Sam looked down at his hands.
"Lost but was found," he stated to himself wiping the tears from his eyes.
Scorponok only rubbed his head gently against Sam and Sam looked down at his hands. Sam then decided that he was not going to cry over it like he normally would. He would face his enemy like he did to Megatron. Getting up he looked at his hands and then at something that caught his eye. It was his hands after all and something in the hand of Starscream. Running up to it Sam found that it was a fragment of the Allspark. As he walked to the body of the fallen Decepticon Lord he also saw another object that began to glow when he approached.
Slowly Sam crawled up to the chest part of Starscream and when he touched the chest there was a click and the plates moved to reveal…
"Is that the Matrix of Leadership?" he said looking at it.
Scorponok whistled next to him and Sam slowly tried to pick up the Matrix but it was too big. After much effort he sighed and sat down not knowing what to do. As soon as he put his hands back on the matrix it began to glow and shrink!
When it was done it was about the size of a hand held video game. Sam held it in his hand along with his scars. When his scars made contact with the matrix they glowed and burned. Wincing Sam held on to the Matrix as he ran over to Rodan's body knowing where Vector Sigma is. Opening it up he saw the shiny gold object with the glowing energy at its tip and Sam picked it up carefully.
As he did he was lifted up by Scorponok who quickly ran back to safety while the combatants fought.
Radon was clearly losing as she reverted back to her original form and was thrown back into the wall. The wound on her side reappeared again and Sam gasped in shock at the sight. Her fangs showed that she was clearly trying to fight back but her already weak reserves were no match for the might of Nemesis.
Sam knew what he must do to help.
----RADON----
Radon was in a lot of pain as she struggled to get up only to be kicked in the face. She fell backwards into the ground as Nemesis Prime came up to her. Placing a clawed foot on her chassis she struggled to get free but Nemesis held her there.
"I think I will enjoy raping you and then feeding on you after all a small amount of taint was all the more delicious to me," he said
Radon continued to struggle to get up her lightsaber already gone out and was knocked far away from the fight. She could not move as her motor systems were down. Try as she might Radon was stuck unable to leave and unable to fight. She turned her head slightly so she can see Sam and Scorponok huddled in the background.
"Don't worry about them they will die soon enough young femme," he said as he grabbed Radon's face plates and lifted her up to his face.
He then bit into her neck and Radon screamed in agony as Nemesis tasted the Energon that flowed into his mouth from Radon's fuel lines. She began to go into convulsions as fuel began to leave her and Sam watched in horror as Radon's struggles began to cease as she started to lose her ability to remain online.
"No!" Sam yelled as he and Scorponok rushed to Radon's aid and he held all three pieces of the Spark of Primus to his chest.
Scorponok with a burst of speed rushed to Radon and attached himself to her back. Running relays to her like he did to Starscream because she did not refit herself like Star. Scorponok held on though and used his own spark as he urged Sam to do the same.
Sam having no spark but having something equivalent called a soul he pressed himself to the drone.
"Please Primus if you are truly on our side you will help us!" Sam called to the three objects his hands, the matrix and the key which was dragged up there by Scorponok.
Even though he does not have the energy of the Allspark in him he could feel the power of the marks that was given begin to form.
"What the hell?" he asked and it was then that he felt something inside of Radon. It was then that he realized something…
The Allspark fragment!
Radon had it all this time in her subspace pouch. Sam held onto Radon and begged for something to help her. Energon leaked onto Sam burning him and Scorponok tried to shield him from it but the leaking fluid energy continued to consume him.
"Please let all of us be alive," begged Sam
Radon's spark began to pulse but by then Sam and Scorponok was thrown off from Radon by the clawed hands of Nemesis.
Sam being badly burned was thrown into the wall and agony shot up his body. Scorponok fell right beside him and gave a weak whine before he went offline as well.
Nemesis only stared at them in disgust as he looked down at his prize and realized that all the taint that he placed in her spark was gone.
"Damn fraggers," he said to them but when he turned he noticed a glowing blue ball of energy just beside the human.
Horror struck his face when he realized what it was and that the sparkling was reaching for it with the strength that she had left.
"The spark of Primus! You are not getting that you little slagger!" he said and kicked the sparkling to the side.
Radon flew into the opposite wall as Nemesis walked over to the glowing object which was about the size of a marble to him. It glowed brightly but it also burned him a bit.
"This little piece of scrap is the spark of Primus?" he laughed as he threw it unknowingly into the mouthparts of Radon.
"As if that thing will save the universe," he said
YOU FOOL!
That was the only warning from Unicron he had gotten before their was a bright flash of light.
She began to online as Nemesis watched her spark glowing more brightly then ever before. Claws began to form and extend from the already clawed hands making it look like talons. Feet began to repair along with other parts of her body as Radon began to lengthen and grow.
As she began to grow and extend in length she began to change as well. A tail began to form along with wings that made her look more like flesh then metal. Now the scales became full blown skin as the seeker transformed in front of his eyes into the beast of legend.
The winged serpent guardian of light…
Cybertronian legend states that there are two beings that are not born of Primus. They hold a piece of Primus but they are not born of Primus. They are twin beings both created by another life force out there to protect the universe from evil.
The first was the winged serpent whose scales glitter a green color like that of life on organic planets. The flames from its maw could level Cybertronian steel within microseconds leaving nothing not even atoms. Claws that can do massive amounts of damage and wings that can create winds even when there is no atmosphere. Its hide is like that of the stars glittering when shown in the light of the suns of many worlds.
The second is the avian of flames a creature created purely of fire but it does not burn. This creature burns with the heart of all suns in the universe it is the creature of life. It burns with eternal light and will arise from its ashes like someone being reborn of the Allspark.
When the two are one they can destroy the enemy of all enemies Unicron into a burning ash. When combined with Primus they become the reason why all Cybertron was supposed to shine like a beacon of hope to all.
Hence the saying;
till all are one…
Radon had never felt such power before as she looked down at herself seeing as she once again resumed her true dragon form. This time it was not a hologram, but living metal and flesh. It was then something within her wanted out and so she spat it out. It was a glowing ball of energy and that energy was floating in front of her. Radon then shifted back into her original form by the light and felt something stir in her that was powerful.
Without thinking she called forth her lightsaber by bending the air around her.
Looking down she saw Sam and Scorponok out cold on the ground. Sam looked like he was badly burned by Energon and Scorponok was heavily damaged from the throw alone. Looking in the direction of Nemesis she engaged her lightsaber by one side.
"You are not the only one with fancy weapons monster," he said as he activated his own weapon.
Radon stood ready this time as she got into a fighting stance. Nemesis charged her with his weapon ready for action and thirsting for Energon. Since cannons have long since run out they were down to hand to hand combat.
With a clash of blades one of light the other of a dark energy that seemed to feed off of Nemesis they both clashed. Radon somehow regained full strength and fuel to fight back and now she fought in mortal combat with this foe from the darkness of space.
Something rumbled from beneath Radon as the floor started to crack as she and Nemesis moved away from the bodies.
---THUNDERCRACKER---
To say that the main central processor and power core was acting on separate defensive systems was something that Thundercracker had not counted on. As they raced into the interior of the Central Processing Unit to find the power core which was in Unicron they had to avoid and further traps. It was like going from one world to the next as they entered the main power chamber. This was not where the spark was located but it was the main body of power other then the spark. Once it was destroyed then the rest lies with Starscream's Team.
As they neared the power core they could see it in a massive room.
"Holy shit this looks like something out of Star Wars," said Miles as the squadron or what's left of it gathered around Thundercracker.
"All right femmes this is it!" yelled a rather exhausted Jetfire.
"Yep this is it are we ready to rock!" said Skywarp
"All right for the freedom of all," said Silverbolt as they all aimed for the tower sending that out first and then the couplings that held it in place.
Thundercracker sent some well placed sonic booms into the main glass the separated the power from each other.
He then let loose his most heavily displaced armaments along with the others. As they did this there was a massive explosion as the power core collapsed.
"Let's get the slag out of here!" yelled Skywarp
Thundercracker took the lead as a group of fighters came into view and none of them are friendly.
"Ok femmes time to bail," said Jetfire as they all exited the chamber.
Exiting proved to be easier then going in with all the mess they made in getting here. The trail of bodies and broken parts was the trail they needed to get out. Thundercracker being squad leader led the way as flames came right at them. Skywarp then broke first in front of T.C. while Jetfire came side to side. The larger Autobots gotten in front when some of the fighters got in the way and began to clear a path.
Thundercracker then turned tail and began to go down another tunnel.
"T.C. WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" shouted Skywarp
"I have a feeling that Starscream is going to need my help," Thundercracker said
Skywarp then suddenly appeared next to him, "You are not going without me," he said
"What about us?" said the rest of the squad.
"I will accompany you as well the rest of you get out of here and report the mission success," Jetfire said as they veered off to their own devices.
"I just hope they are still alive," said Miles worried about Sam.
"I hope they are kid, I sure hope so,"
