Influence

Tyler and Jordan stood amount the forest of lush, green trees. Both of them were in their human form, staring out at the maze of tree's in front of them. The birds chirped away, some landing in the near by trees. The two stood as still as they could, listening closely for any sound that didn't belong. Something that would give them a idea where this conduit was.

After several moments of hearing nothing, the two moved deeper into the forest, keeping their ears open.

"It is almost like when you are a little kid." Jordan said quietly, keeping close to Tyler. "When you think some sort of monster is going to be coming through the trees to get you."

"Keep your mind on what is important." Tyler replied, turning back to make sure they weren't being followed.

"You know." Jordan whispered. "You and I can cover a lot more ground if the two of us split up."

Tyler stopped in his tracks, not moving one muscle.

"I know you don't trust me to be alone." Jordan continued. "But if we have any hope of finding Unicron's conduit. It would be best if we did split."

He slowly turned to Jordan, pointing to his left.

"You go West. I'll go East. If we find anything, we'll let each other know."

Jordan gave a nod in a agreement.

Tyler then turned, heading off, leaving Jordan behind alone.

As he walked off, Jordan felt a eerie feeling creep over his body, like someone was watching through his eyes. He held the feeling back, as he walked on. He moved around the thick bushes and trees, pushing past everything, while keeping his eyes and ears open.

After pushing past one thick bush, he glanced down at the ground, and saw fresh disturbed soil. He looked at it closely, realizing that it resembled some sort of large foot print. He glanced up at the tree canopy, and saw that branches were all broken. Some trees were heavily scared.

Something very large moved through here, and he knew what. Jordan stood back up to call out to Tyler, when something held him back. He opened his mouth, about to try and call out to Tyler, when a low, dark evil voice spoke out.

"Jordan. Destroy the Prime."

He glanced around, thinking that the conduit was somewhere near-by.

"SHOW YOURSELF!" He yelled out angrily, trying to find the source.

"Destroy the Prime Jordan. I command you."

He quickly realized, that this voice wasn't coming from somewhere in the forest. It was coming from him. It was coming from his head.

"I will not." Jordan growled, as he felt his fists tightly clench. "I will not destroy him."

"Destroy him Jordan. Destroy him now."

Suddenly Jordan felt a wave of pain shoot through his body. He looked down at his trembling hands, seeing every vein under his skin glowing purple. His eye felt like they were on fire. Every part of his body burned. The energy slowly began to leave his body.

"I…Will…..Not."

Tyler had made his way to a clearing. He carefully walked out to the centre, occasionally looking in different direction incase. He lightly rubbed his chest. The burning was still irritating him.

As he reached the centre of the field, everything suddenly went dead.

The birds stopped chirping, the wind suddenly stopped. Everything was quiet.

Slowly, he turned back around. As he did, he could see two bright, purple glowing eyes looking at him from the tree line. He focused a little more, and could see the figure of Jordan walking out of the forest. Every inch of skin, his veins almost seemed to be glowing, creating a weird pattern as his skin took a almost darker tone to it.

His eyes were glowing, with smoke emerging from his sockets.

"JORDAN. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" He yelled out.

Jordan said nothing. He continued marching towards Tyler. His pace quicken, turning into a run, as he charged towards him.

"WAIT JORDAN. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS!"

Jordan still said nothing. Just before he reached Tyler, his whole body grew into his robotic form, as he swung his foot.

Tyler didn't have a chance to move. The strike was dread on, sending him flying through the air, to the far side of the field, crashing into the trees.

Jordan's right hand transformed into the giant ray gun, as he moved over to the tree line where he disappeared.

Tyler then emerged from the mess of trees, back in his robotic form.

"You cannot defeat me disciple of Primus." Jordan spoke, his voice a mixture of his and Unicron's. "By my will alone, all upon this world, shall fall into chaos. You cannot hope to defeat me."

"As long as I still stand, hope remains." Tyler replied, the face shield deploying over his face.

He charged towards Jordan, a sword shooting out of his hand as he swung it towards him.

Jordan rolled back, avoiding the attack. But as soon as he was back on is feet, Tyler stabbed him in the shoulder. He pulled the sword out, and elbowed Jordan across the face, grabbing him with his left hand as he threw him to the ground.

Jordan rolled several time, before ending up on his hands and knees. He looked back up at Tyler, his eyes glowing with evil.

"Do you really think I would leave someone as weak as Jordan alone to fight you?" Unicron said through Jordan.

A loud crash echoed out behind Tyler. He quickly looked back, seeing two large robots standing several meters away. Both of them looking like some of Jordan's old warriors, one of them looking like Starscream.

"With three of us, you cannot hope to defeat me." Unicron laughed. "All of times you destroyed Jordan's troops, you were only building up my army. A army of undead."

Jordan quickly jumped back to his feet, as the three of them began to surround Tyler.

Tyler spun right and left, waiting for who would strike first. He turned his head just in time to see Jordan coming at him.

He swung his arm, his sword striking Jordan across the chest, forcing him to stagger back several steps. But as Tyler was in the middle of his swing, one of the opponents jumped up into the air, striking him across his face.

He struggled to recover, just as a large hand clamped around his head. Searing pain erupted from his side as he felt something cutting in. He threw his elbow back, striking his attacker in the head. The move caused it to let go of Tyler, but he barely had time to regain his senses before he saw a saw blade slam into his chest.

He tried to stagger away from the blade, trying to give himself a chance to find away to fight back. A sound of a ray gun charging echoed out. Before he even had a chance, a large explosion struck his back.

The next thing he saw was the ground quickly flying below him. He held his hands out, as the hit the ground, allowing him to roll forward, and back to his feet.

Tyler quicker turned, hoping to get a eye on his attackers. But all he could see was Jordan right in front of him, with his right leg high into the air.

Something heavy then hit the side of his face, causing his face shield to break apart. The whole side of his face felt like it had compressed. The strike caused him to spin around, and land on his stomach.

He knew he couldn't keep it up much longer. He knew he had to find a way to even the odds again.

Two feet appeared in front of him, as he saw Starscream's body standing in front of him. In a quick move, Tyler swung his arm, causing Starscream's undead body to fall. Tyler quirky stood over top of him, and brought his fist down as hard as he could.

The head almost seemed to implode as he quickly stepped back.

He could see Jordan and the other attacker heading for him, and in return, he charged towards them.

A sword shot out of the bottom of Jordan's ray gun, as he held it high above his head. Before he had a chance, Tyler struck him in the side of his face, causing him to fall to the ground.

Tyler continued towards the second attacker, hook shooting out of his hands as he jumped up. He climbed right onto the attackers shoulders, the hooking digging into it's face as he pulled it apart. As the body went limp, Tyler jumped off.

He landed on his feet, standing up straight.

"TYLER!"

He raised his head, hoping he wasn't hearing what he thought he was hearing.

He looked towards the source, and saw Alvin, Simon and Theodore rushing towards him.

"GET OUT OF HERE YOU GUYS!" He yelled back.

Just as he was about to run towards them, he felt long boney fingers grab his left shoulder. His back suddenly exploded in pain as he saw a long blade come out of his chest, twisting left and right. He felt his feet his feet leave the ground, as he struggled to try and pull the blade out. He could hear the sound of a ray gun charging.

Just then a huge fireball went through his body. He immediately felt all strength leave his body, the world beginning to spin as the blade pulled out.

Tyler briefly stood on his feet, before falling to the ground, the front of his chest nothing but a orange glow of trusted metal that was beginning to form a molten pool.

Jordan's eyes suddenly returned to normal, as he began to look about confused. He looked down at his feet, and saw Tyler on his back, his body badly beaten. H

e looked towards the chipmunks, seeing they had stopped a few meters from Tyler's body, their jaws wide open in horror.

He could hear a distant rumble starting to get louder and louder. He knew what was coming. He knew what was heading straight for them.

Tyler turned his head towards the chipmunks. They looked back at him, shaking their heads, hoping that what they feared wasn't happening.

"Run." He said, using the last bit of strength he had. "Ru….."

He eyes suddenly went dim, as his whole body went limp.

The chipmunks glared back at Jordan with hate and rage.

He stared down at Tyler, his face in complete shock. The rumble grew almost ear deafening as a whole bunch of meteors burst through the clouds, heading right for them.

"YOU HEARD HIM. RUN!" Jordan yelled out.

The chipmunk immediately forgot what they saw, as the quickly turn, and began with incredible speed. They could hear the impacts behind them, followed by a low voice, that seemed to be echoing like there were dozens of them.

"The disciple of Primus is gone. On this very day, chaos shall rise, as I shall rise."
