Chapter 3: Rebuilding the Army

Back on Earth, just a couple of weeks after Steven's death, Garnet and Isaac had become a couple, and were just getting back from a mission. They walked through the remains of Beach City, with only a few people greeting them. The city was still recovering from Steven's invasion with the necromorphs. Garnet suddenly began to gasp and yell as she grabbed her head in pain.

Isaac: Garnet! What's wrong?

Garnet: The sounds! I only hear the sounds. They say, "We are coming".

Isaac: Garnet, snap out of it. It's not real. You just are still recovering from our recent "loss".

Garnet: Isaac? My head has been killing me for days now.

Isaac: Let's get back to the house. No more missions for a while. You need rest.

As they were heading back, three jets flew out of nowhere and began to break apart as their forms shifted into large, robots. They all looked identical, but were each colored differently.

Starscream: Grab as many as you can!

The two beside what appeared to be the leader flew out and started grabbing up all of the corpses, and Starscream glanced down at Garnet and Isaac. He quickly lunged at them and picked them up in his hand. He didn't intend to kill them, though.

Starscream: I remember you two. Steven sends his regards.(Maniacal laughter)

Starscream dropped the two on the ground, grabbed his own share of corpses and the three of them flew off into space.

Isaac: Did you hear what he said?

Garnet: They must be taking orders from Steven.

Isaac: It can't be. He's dead.

Voice: Not anymore.

They looked behind them and saw a huge truck with fire designs and no trailer. It began to break apart and shift as a huge robot began to form in front of them.

Garnet: Stay back!

Robot: Remain calm. I am not with them. I didn't reveal myself earlier because I needed to tell you this information in private. First is names. I...am Optimus Prime.

Garnet: I'm Garnet and this is Isaac. What do you want with us?

Optimus: We come to warn you of a new threat looming over your city. Your enemy, Steven Universe, has been rebuilt and revived by Megatron, the leader of our enemies, the Decepticons. We are Autobots. Megatron intended to make Steven a soldier to wage his war, but was forced to become Steven's second in command. We know not of his intentions, nor do we know how powerful he is with his upgrades. What we do know is that he intends on conquering this planet with the Decepticon army. I attempted contacting you through your mind, but you have a strong barrier that prevented me from getting to you properly.

Garnet: That explains the headaches.

Isaac: And the "We are coming"

Garnet: Also, Optimus, you keep saying "we". I only see you.

Then, a yellow Camaro with black stripes drove up and shifted into Bumblebee, a black GMC shifted into Ironhide, and a silver corvette transformed into Sideswipe.

Garnet: Never mind. Will you help us?

Bumblebee: (Lean on me starts playing)

Isaac: What?

Optimus: His vocal processors were damaged. He uses his radio to communicate. About Steven, do you know what he wanted all of those corpses for?

Isaac: He intends to make an army of reconstructed corpses called Necromorphs. With them and the Decepticons, it won't be hard to take over the planet.

Back on Cybertron, Steven had just received the corpses from Beach City. He raised his hands to the air and began to emanate strange signal that made the corpses shake and convulse and morph into large groups of slasher necromorphs.

Steven: With the combined power of the Decepticons and the Necromorphs, my victory is assured...

He began to let out a maniacal, murderous, sadistic laugh. He was prepared to return to Beach City, and destroy Isaac and Garnet.
