While one awakening brings joy of friends and family reunited another is about to bring about death and the lust for power.

Deep within the pressurized section of the Decepticon ship two pairs of optics keep watch as a much anticipated moment arrives. "will it be soon?" asked Fury as he stroked his hand over one of the pods like a child with a large present on Christmas morning. "very soon my son" replied Scalpel as he monitored the readings coming from three of the pods. The last pod that contained Zack was set on a separate display that showed an anomaly in the process, an anomaly that could be used to their advantage. Fury walked to Zack's pod and asked "how much larger will he grow?" "difficult to say" replied Scalpel "his growth is starting to accelerate now that the others need less energy and from the looks of these readings his body will soon start consuming the metal of the pod to fuel the process". Fury looked at the now fully transformed but still growing form of Zack as he shifted his bulging form in the now very cramped pod. Fury though of how he had first promised Zack that he would be unstoppable once he was a Decepticon and it looked like that promise would be kept beyond even his wildest dreams.

The sound of the air lock caught Fury's attention as he heard the two bots he had been expecting enter the room. "thank you once again lord megatron for sparing my life when I failed you" grovelled Starscream as he bowed before the larger Decepticon. Megatron sneered at Starscream before saying "it's good that you now remember your place starscream, but I only let you live because I need you for the moment do not think that I will do so again if you fail me". Quickly Starscream cowered lower as he said "you have been most generous to grant me my life this time lord megatron I shall not fail you again". Megatron turned away from the jet bot looking slightly disgusted but pleased as he now believed that Starscream was for the moment unwilling to disobey him out of fear. Only Fury caught the the crooked smile that crossed Starscream's face once Megatron's back was turned and he only saw it because he was expecting it to be there. The moment Megatron looked back at Starscream the smile was gone and the Decepticon had returned to his sniveling performance, one that was well used.

Megatron strode into the chamber followed by Starscream who was trailing behind him in a simpering fashion. "doctor when are they ready?" asked the Decepticon leader as his optics fell on the pods before him. Scalpel glanced quickly at Fury before he said "these three will be ready soon, the fourth will take longer as his growth is slightly abnormal". The words had barely made it across the room before Megatron said "then it is of no use to us, I need weapons that can be made to order not random mistakes that are of no use" the coldness in his voice said more than any words could have. Scalpel panicked for a moment as the thought of one of his children being killed before it even had a chance to stand filled his mind. "lord megatron" said Scalpel as he desperately tried to think of a way to keep Zack alive, "I will need to analyze him once he has finished so that I can prevent future anomalies". Megatron snarled before he replied "you can get all you need from his sparkless shell doctor if it grows much more it will be difficult to terminate it with out causing damage to the ship". The Decepticon leader turned his gaze to Fury before he said "a test for your creation doctor I want to see how loyal he truly is, fury" the name spoken with disgust "I order you to destroy the failed experiment now". Fury looked at Scalpel for a second before moving towards Zack's pod and with drawing the large shotgun like weapon and aiming it so that it pointed directly at his friends spark chamber. Megatron glanced at Scalpel while this was happening and said "I need to know it these things will follow orders doctor, I can't have one of them disobeying me when I order them into battle". Fury slowly started to pull the trigger his mind desperately trying to find a way out of this before the shot was fired, in an instant there was a loud bang that filled the room.

All the bots gathered turned their attention to the pod that contained Brad, the cable that was connected to his spark chamber retracted through it's opening as the new Decepticon trashed about trying to escape his pod. Fury took advantage of the confusion and returned his weapon to it's resting place as he moved towards the pod. "they are awakening" cried Scalpel as Al and Jack began thrashing about like Brad. The cables from their pods retracted as their movements became more violent and uncontrolled. Megatron backed away remembering what had happened when Fury emerged from his pod. Scalpel quickly rushed to the control console as he released the locking clamps on the three pods. The doors started to open slowly at first but the bots inside had other ideas as they ripped them of as they rushed out. The room was was suddenly filled with a mass of tangled metal as the three bots began brawling with each other in an uncontrolled frenzy of violence that startled even Megatron. "control them doctor, Now!" cried the Decepticon leader as the three fighting Decepticons threatened to destroy his ship. "they are not responding to commands" said Scalpel "someone must physically stop them in order to bring them under their control".

Megatron growled as he barked "starscrem get in there and bring them under control", the smaller Decepticon stayed motionless as his face filled with fear. In an instant Megatron flung him forward into the fight but Starscream was only in the brawl for a few seconds before a punch threw him out and into a wall. Megatron growled at Starscream's failed attempt as he stalked forward yelling "ENOUGH". The Decepticon leader reached into the writing mass of metal and forced the new creatures apart in a single movement. The three new Decepticons were scattered in different directions and as Megatron took aim with his arm cannon he failed to notice the sound of sharpened metal striking his own armor. Megatron knew nothing of the attack until he saw the sharpened blade punching through his own spark chamber. The blade curved upward as it moved forward through his body dripping with glowing blue energon his life's blood. The Decepticon leader seemed to be frozen in shock as his optics were fixed on the sharpened blade that was sticking out of his chest. "do you know your problem lord megatron?" asked Starscream as he slid sword forward slightly, "you think that your perfect, you think that the decepticons are perfect". The jet bot kept his voice cold and snide as he held the sword tightly in his hand. "in all our years of fighting you have never learned from the worlds we visited, you never stopped to look at their life forms as you considered them beneath you" continued Starscream.

Starscream leered as he started to slowly twist the sword in Megatron's chest, "I watched, I learned, on earth more than any other world I have ever visited and do you know what I learned?" asked Starscream. "I learned patients, I learned never to over look anything, we have a chance for our race in these new decepticons and I will not let you use them as weapons that you will cast aside when they are no longer needed" said the jet bot. The smaller Decepticon looked to be enjoying him self more than he had in countless years as Megatron was totally in his power. "you have all but killed our race in this war and I will not let that happen again, I have a new way for our people to continue and now I no longer need you" sneered Starscream. One more twist of the sword caused Megatron to howl in pain but it did not end him, his end was close but not at this moment Starscream had one more thing to say "it's said that when a human called julius caesar died the molecules of his last breath scattered across the surface of the earth in memory of his deeds, I wonder will your energon scatter across this moon in the same way". And as the others looked on Starscream pulled the sword out in one quick movement that sent energon flying across the room in what seemed like every direction. The fallen Decepticon leader made a series of incomprehensible sounds as he fell forward flailing around like a puppet with it's strings cut. In one last attempt at clinging on to life Megatron braced him self with his hands as his optics started to dim. As energon poured out of his chest and mouth Megatron tried one last time to speak but Starscream had listened to him for far to long and so he forever silenced Megatron as he cut the head from the dying body.

"earth has so many things to teach us, things you will never know" said Starscream as he lifted the energon soaked sword into the air. He looked at the sparkless shell and said "with this death the old order passes and a new empire of cybertron is born, a new empire that will span the universe forever". Starscream stood there in his moment of ultimate triumph, he had done it. After countless centuries of plotting and scheming, after enduring Megatron's endless wrath he was now the leader of the Decepticons. Starscream drove the sword down into the sparkless shell before him and said "we have done it my new generals, my commanders, we hold all the power now and we will use it to raise a new army which will sweep aside the autobots once and for all". Fury stepped forward his foot crushing the severed head of Megatron with ease as he said "you plan worked well starscream, he never saw it coming not even when the sword was passing through his body". The new leader of the Decepticons smiled wickedly as he replied "and I owe it all to you and your brothers, you will be honoured as the first of our kind born in millennial not as weapons to be sacrificed on the field of battle". Fury place a hand on Starscream's shoulder as he said "I knew that I was right in trusting you starscream and I knew that you could pull this off with our help". As soon as the world "help" echoed round the room Starscream let out a gurgling sound as he felt a sharp pain in his spark.

The new leader looked down to see Fury's other hand now transformed into a sharp point that had punched through his spark chamber. "but if you wanted to kill megatron then you should have walked up to him and smiled at him as you plunged the sword into his spark" Fury stopped talking as he lowered Starscream to the floor keeping the point that was his hand firmly in place. "this won't be quick starscream" continued Fury "a true leader will face his opponent even when he's about to stab him in the back". Fury kept as much energon from escaping as he could because he wanted this moment to last as long as possible "not yet old man don't die just yet, you like learning about us then learn this before you die" said Fury "you killed megatron and took his place and you would have told others the same thing, if a human had done that then he would have been attacked by the supporters of the fallen leader at the very least". A little more pressure and Starscream's failing spark held in enough energon to keep beating "this way you kill megatron for the power, I kill you to avenge him and everyone fall's into line behind me as I have a recording of him placing me in the command structure behind you". Starscream's optics locked on Fury with a look of hate that he had never used before, a look that could have never been used before as it's power was drawn from his dying thoughts.

"and now with no proof otherwise and four bots backing up my story the other decepticons will follow me with no attempts at avenging megatron's death" said Fury as he looked at the dying Starscream. "all that waiting only to be beaten to the crown by a younger bot, the old order ends not with megatron but with you" and as Fury uttered the final word he pulled his hand out of Starscream's spark chamber as the last of the jet Decepticons energon burst out in a fountain of blue. The spark in Starscream's chest finally died from the damaged and lack of enregon as Fury got to his feet. The red optics dimmed and went out forever as Fury dragged the sparkless shell into the middle of the room next to Megatron's destroyed form before he crushed Starscream's head under his foot destroying circuits that still held any information about what had just happened. Fury turned to his crew and Scalpel and said "this is our new beginning, today we will make a new cybertron in our image, one where we will rule for all time". The four bots cheered as they raised their arms in triumph at the successful completion of their plan.
