Author's note: I do not own Transformers, Cloverfield, or Godzilla (1998.) And, for the record, I think that "Godzilla" should be labeled as "Zilla" since the 1998 Godzilla is not the true Godzilla. I mean, I saw 'Cloverfield' and then 'Godzilla' the next day, and I found 'Cloverfield' more believable. Does anybody else agree with me on this part?

Weeks passed by, and Soundblaster and his entire family were still in shock that Ravage was still alive. "Alert! Alert! Autobots, assemble at once!" called out Optimus Prime over the comm link throughout the base. Pulse and the others looked at themselves, then they headed for the control room where the other Autobots were located. They ran alongside lots of Autobots; only Gears was the one walking to the control room. "Ah, wouldn't you know it? Every time I get sent to lube my cable relay, something happens" said Gears. Pulse was next to Gears when he said that, she stopped, and stared at Gears with a look of horror in her optic. Her antlers were drooped down in shock as she squeaked "You what?" Ironhide then passed him as he said "Action first Gears, maintenance later." "That's easy for you to say, your pulleys don't squeak!" shouted back Gears. "Your squeakin' is not the problem" said Bumblebee as he did a backflip over Gears "It's your squakin'." Pulse only looked at Gears before she resumed running to the control room.

"The Decepticons are attacking a mining camp," said Optimus in the control center of the Ark "We're going in to stop 'em. Autobots, transform." The other Autobots transformed and rolled out, but Soundblaster, Pulse, and Berserk remained behind. The three of them were still in shock from finding out that Ravage was alive, and they lost their fighting spirit because of it.


The Autobots didn't return until later, and they all seemed sad. "Query: What's up with the depressed mood, Autobots?" asked Soundblaster. "It's Gears, the Decepticons have him," replied Optimus "We have to find and rescue him." Soundblaster nodded, then left the base and was about to fly off when the earth began rumbling. All of the Autobots became confused, as Bumblebee exclaimed, "Look! Solar Flares!" as he pointed to a green beam of light aimed at the sun. Pulse came out, looked at the sun, shook her helm as she said "Oh no, it looks as if the Decepticons are planning to harvest the energy from the Sun." "You've seen this before?" asked Soundblaster as Pulse nodded, then said "Yes, I saw lots of star systems with planets that went dark because the Autobots and Decepticons from my timeline harvested their energy." "What makes you say that the Autobots harvested…" said Optimus as Pulse cut him off "Never mind that now! I'll explain later! Right now, we need to leave for where the Decepticons are harvesting the Sun's energy!"

Both Soundblaster and Berserk remained at the base to calm down Laserbeak and Buzzsaw. The two little birds were frightened, but their parents calmed them down as much as possible. Laserbeak was with her sire, as Buzzsaw was with his creator as the two parents had their tentacles entwined with one another. "Berserk" said Soundblaster "Do you suppose that we could ever get Ravage back to us? I mean, she was on her own ever since we've got to this dimension, but, do you suppose that we can even win her back?" Berserk stroked Soundblaster's helm as she said, "That, I do not know. It's up to Ravage to decide. Maybe, slowly, we can try to get her to remember us. We've got to try before we can even leave this place. But, if we fail, then I'm afraid that we will have to leave her behind. I'm not sure if she can even fit in with normal transformer society now." Soundblaster looked at his sparkmate, before a loud blast and a powerful rumble caused the earth to shake again. Both sparkmates held on to each other as their sparklings squawked, but then the rumbles ended as suddenly as they began. Cautiously, Soundblaster handed Laserbeak over to Berserk as he exited the cave.

When Soundblaster was outside, he looked around, then shouted, "OK, WHO TURNED OUT THE SUN?"


The Autobots were in the African jungles, Megatron stood triumphantly as his pede was on Optimus' chassis as he said "Heh heh heh. With the sun destroyed, this planet is doomed to become an icy world. Triumph is at hand, Decepticons. Destroy the Autobots!" Pulse, who had teleported the Autobots to Africa, was only staring where the sun once was. Starscream strolled up to her as he said "So, femme. Since your Autobot friends have lost, how's about becoming my femme-friend?" "Your miscalculations of this battle are impractical, Starscream" said Pulse "How can you even state that the battle is over when the real one hasn't started yet?" "What do you mean by that, femme?" asked Starscream before Pulse turned her helm away as a sudden brightness illuminated the former darkened sky. A number of the Decepticons and Autobots screamed "AAAAAHHHAAAAHHHH! MY OPTICS!" as the new sun blinded them.

Within seconds, a mysterious UFO appeared with a Predator drone on its back. The two machines transformed into Berserk and Soundblaster as the femme said "That flight was so EPIC!" "Yeah, but I think that I depleted my energy for the next three deca-cycles" said Soundblaster before he fell into stasis lock. Berserk struggled to stay online as she looked for a form of energy to keep her online, and then she noticed the energon cubes. Extending her tentacles, Berserk absorbed all of the cubes to keep her systems stable.

Megatron saw this, then snarled "No! This whole plan was for nothing! Decepticons, retreat!" before the Decepticons flew off. Berserk struggled to keep online, but her systems forced her to go into a stasis lock as well.

When both Berserk and Soundblaster woke up, they were at the Autobot base. "Huh?" said Berserk as she looked around. Soundblaster groaned as he tried to move his limbs, but they ached too much. "Good, you're awake" said Ratchet "The Decepticons are causing buildings to disappear in New York City, and we need your help." "Gah, can't move my limbs" said Soundblaster as he tried to move. Berserk tried to get up, but she wobbled and fell to the floor. "Systems malfunctioning: balance systems offline" said Berserk before Soundblaster asked "You're not going to go haywire again, are you?" "No, no. I just can't walk right or retain balance, that's all" said Berserk. Ratchet sighed, then said "Looks like that the two of you will have to remain here until further notice" as he helped Berserk up to the berth. "The two of you are to remain on the berth until further notice; doctor's orders" said Ratchet, then left to inform Optimus that Berserk and Soundblaster are bedridden for quite a while.

Optimus frowned at hearing Ratchet's words, then said "Looks like that we are on our own. Pulse is willing to help, but she has lost her fighting spirit after finding out that her mother is still alive. She is to remain out of combat until she regains her confidence to fight. I'll assign her with Bumblebee and Spike on this mission." "Can I come too?" chirped Laserbeak as she flew down and landed on Optimus' shoulder. He looked at her and said "Laserbeak, this is a dangerous mission. I can't jeopardize your safety if we run into Decepticons." "But, I want to see New York!" chirped Laserbeak, then Optimus sighed and said "Fine, but you are to remain with Bumblebee and Spike." "Yay!" chirped Laserbeak, then flew into Bumblebee's interior. "Autobots, transform and roll out!" commanded Optimus as he transformed, and the Autobots drove off.

Hours later, Lazerbeak detected that the Autobots were heading towards Central Park, and reported it to Megatron. "So, Prime and the others are heading to Central Park, are they? Well, then we'll have to…" said Megatron before Soundwave said, "Alert! Alert! Unknown creature tunneling towards us." "Impossible! What could tunnel towards us? It must be one of those Autobots that…" said Megatron before a massive roar shook their base. A large gray rectangular head appeared as it pushed through the floor, then roared. "What is that thing?" shouted Megatron. "I don't know, but let's get out of here!" screeched Starscream as the monster came after them.

Above ground, the Autobots were driving in Central Park when the earth began to rumble. "What the?" said Optimus before a gigantic white creature came rampaging through the park. It had black eyes, some sort of pink sacs in the back of its head, a very long tail, and four arms (a very massive pair to run on, and a smaller pair attached below it.) Things seemed to be coming off of its back as it ran through the city. "What was that?" asked Ironhide. "I don't know, but whatever it is, I think the Decepticons have nothing to do with it" said Optimus. All of the other Autobots looked at the Prime as if he were nuts.

Below ground, the Decepticons raced through the tunnels as the gigantic iguana-like creature chased them. "Megatron, the next time that you plan to place your headquarters underground, don't!" screeched Starscream. "Who asked you?" snarled Megatron, before a deafening whale-like roar came from behind them. "Run faster, you goons!" shouted Scrapper as the other Decepticons continued to run. They continued to run and run and run until they came to a massive underground cavern with lots of oval-like boulders. "What are these things?" asked Hook as he inspected them. "I don't know, but they look like eggs" said Starscream. Hook looked at Starscream, then shouted, "How can some creature lay this many eggs?" CRACK! Long Haul looked around, and he saw something coming out of the eggs. "Uh, guys?" he squeaked in fright. The Decepticons looked around, and sure enough, all of the eggs were hatching. A dinosaur-like head popped out of the egg as it roared, and there were other dinosaur creatures coming out of the eggs. The Decepticons began backing up, until a deafening roar came from behind them, and they all turned around to see the mother behind them. "RUN!" screamed Megatron as the Decepticons followed him as they headed to a large underground storm drainage system.

Above ground, the Autobots were having their own problems. Bizarre sea fleas of a gigantic size were trying to bite the Autobots, so they had to blast them away as their numbers kept on coming. Pulse had to swat them away with her tail as her back cannon shot at the sea fleas, while Buzzsaw and Laserbeak kept to an altitude with Spike holding on tight to the sparklings. While the sea fleas were no bigger than a Labrador retriever, they could jump very well and bite very hard.

Within one of the underground subway tunnels, the Decepticons ran up the stairs (more of crawled due to their large sizes) to escape the gigantic dinosaur. "Who…knew…that…this…city…had…a…monster…infestation ?" panted Megatron. "I…warned…you…that…this…was…a…bad…idea" panted Starscream. "For…once…I…agree…with…you…Starscream" panted Megatron before the ground began rumbling again. The ground began to push upwards as the gigantic lizard made an appearance by borrowing upwards. The Decepticons began running again, before a gigantic paw crushed both Bonecrusher and Scavenger. The Decepticons looked up to find a gigantic white monster roaring at the dinosaur, before the dinosaur roared back. The white monster charged toward the lizard (and stepped on Reflector, Long Haul, Scrapper, and Mixmaster in the process) before the two titans began to battle one another. The Decepticons fled in the mean time, but not alone. Several dozen sea fleas dropped off the white monster and ran after Decepticons.

The Decepticons had to blast away the sea fleas, but as they passed one of the subway stairways, a small herd of the baby dinosaurs came running out. The baby dinosaurs began attacking the sea fleas, and the sea fleas attacked them. Taking the opportunity before them, the Decepticons decided to escape while the monsters were distracted, but some of the sea fleas that weren't battling the baby dinosaurs chased after the robots.

In Central Park, after a very long battle, Optimus and the other Autobots collapsed from exhaustion from battling the sea fleas. "How…can…this…day…get…any…worse?" asked Optimus, before the Decepticons came charging at them and crashed into the Autobots. "Funny running into you, bucket head" said Ironhide. "Ha ha ha. Spare me the humor, Autobot, but us Decepticons are currently up against an opponent who has proven to be far more deadly than you factory rejects" said Megatron. "Why, have you seen a gigantic white monster around here?" asked Optimus. Megatron stared at Optimus for a moment, then said "Funny that you should say that, but we have. However, as it turns out, that wasn't the only monster that we've met around here. We've also been running away from a gigantic dinosaur and hundreds of her offspring, not to mention some sort of weird bugs." "Like these?" asked Bumblebee as he held up a dead sea flea. "YAAAAHHHHHHH! GET IT AWAY FROM ME!" screamed Megatron as he jumped up and held on tight to Optimus. All of the Autobots and some of the Decepticons couldn't help but stare at the warlord, as he held on tight to Optimus. "I appreciate you showing affections for me, Megatron, but now's not the place" said Optimus in a flat voice. Realizing what he was doing, Megatron let go and looked down in shame.

Pulse looked around New York as she moved her neck around, then looked at Megatron and asked "Since I've never seen New York before, just what exactly have you changed about it?" "Well, we removed the Empire State Building and replaced it with one that you would find on Cybertron" said Megatron. Pulse stared at the Cybertronian building, shook her head, then said, "That has got to be one of the ugliest buildings that I've ever seen." All of the Autobots and Decepticons looked at Pulse and Starscream asked "How is that building ugly? You came from Cybertron, haven't you?" Pulse shook her head as she said "No, but I did see it once before it was destroyed in my time. The buildings were either made of a very lustrous metal, or were even made out of glass. They all reflected the sunlight and starlight, and it seemed as if the buildings were made out of crystal." She then looked sad as her neck drooped down as she said "Of course, Cybertron was destroyed soon afterwards." "Were the Decepticons responsible for Cybertron's destruction?" asked Bluestreak. Pulse shook her head as she said "No, but Megatron was partly to blame. The Autobots were the main ones responsible." The Decepticons took one look at the Autobots, before they began laughing. "Pulse, just how is it that the Autobots were responsible for Cybertron's destruction?" asked Optimus. Pulse looked at him, then said, "It was because of Sentinel Prime that he corrupted the Autobots, which led to the destruction of Cybertron. He was also responsible for destroying countless organic planets. I saw my parents die as they sent me back in time to correct the corruption, but since I saw my Mom in this world, I don't know if I will even be born in the future" as she began to tear up.

A loud roar caught all of their attention as the Autobots and Decepticons looked towards the city to find the white creature battling the gigantic dinosaur, before the white creature used one of its arms to punch the lizard into the Decepticons' new skyscraper. The skyscraper collapsed on the lizard, as the creature let off a cry that was cut short. The white monster let off a roar, before it walked towards the sea and dove into its depths.

"Finally! Those monstrosities are gone! Now we can finish turning New York City into New Cybertron!" announced Megatron as he stood up triumphantly. "Wrong. You're going to rebuild the Empire State Building as some of us are going to rid the city of these small monsters that you mentioned" said Optimus as he got up. "Are you trying to be the dominant one in decisions, Optimus?" snarled Megatron as he got in Optimus' faceplates. "Just what are you trying to get at, Megatron?" said Optimus in an angry voice as he leaned towards the Decepticon, his face in Megatron's face. "You know as well as I do. Just what were you thinking of not calling me the next morning?" snarled Megatron. "I told you, Elita needed me to go shopping with her for some new armor and upgrades. She needed me to make a few decisions and to tell her if the new armor looked good on her" said Optimus as he narrowed his optics at Megatron.

"Does anybody want to repair the Empire State Building as these two argue, while the rest of us eradicate the smaller monsters from the city?" suggested Pulse. "I consider your suggestion logical" said Soundwave as he got up, as the Decepticons and Autobots left their two leaders argue.


After Ratchet and Wheeljack repaired the destroyed Constructions, the medics and Constructicons repaired the Empire State Building as the others split up to exterminate the monsters. Pulse went with Jazz, Rumble, and Frenzy as they scouted some of the subway tunnels. "So, how come a hot femme like ya' is so down in da' dumps?" asked Rumble as he looked at Pulse. She looked at Rumble and said "It's all because of my Mom; I recently found out that she's alive. I've thought that she died a long time ago, but…now, I don't think that she even wants to get back with my grandparents. Grandpa did explain how he tried to find her a long time ago, but…he has his doubts. My grandparents don't know what to do to get my Mom back, and I'm afraid that they'll leave her behind when we leave this world." "Hey, that means that we could set her up with Soundwave! Just imagine if she's our mom!" exclaimed Frenzy. "Um, how come you're back there?" asked Rumble to Frenzy as Pulse narrowed her optic. "Simply enjoying the view from back here. Seriously Rumble, just stand where I am and you'll see what I am talkin' about" said Frenzy. Rumble walked to where Frenzy was, looked at where Frenzy was staring at, then said "Hey, you're right! We've got a perfect view of this femme's…" as Pulse shouted "Well, it appears that thanks to you two perverts, I've found my will to fight again!" as she stood on her hind legs when something happened! Two long blades popped out of the sides of her forearms (on all four of them as she stared down at the twin Cassetticons.

Throughout the entire subway system, the Autobots and Decepticons heard Rumble and Frenzy scream something about a crazy femme that was worse than the tunnel monsters.

It was 1:28 in the morning when the Autobots and Decepticons finished blasting the sea fleas and baby dinosaurs. They got back to the Empire State Building, and they found the Constructicons, Wheeljack, and Ratchet placing the finishing touches on the building. "Done! As much as I hate to admit it, working with the Constructicons wasn't as bad as I'd thought that it would be" said Wheeljack. "So, does this mean that the Autobots and Decepticons are at peace?" asked Pulse. A number of the Decepticons and Autobots laughed, before Ratchet said "Not by a long shot. There are still a lot of things that both sides disagree on, but perhaps someday both sides may live in peace." Pulse's antlers lifted up (her version of a smile) as she nodded her head and said, "Well, I'm glad to hear that. I just hope that it doesn't lead to the destruction of the universe like it did in my timeline. But…" as she looked around "Where are Optimus and Megatron?" "Still arguing in the park when I was looking down at them when I was constructing the spire on the building" said Wheeljack. "Just what are those two arguing about?" asked Spike. At this point, all of the Decepticons looked down at Spike, looked at each other, then said at the exact same time "You're too young to know."


"Ok, ok. I'm sorry that I didn't call you the next day" said Optimus. "And, I'm sorry that I embarrassed you like that in front of Elita and her femme friends" said Megatron. "Yeah, about that. I still receive calls from Chromia, Arcee, and Moonracer. Of course, Elita one picks up the call, she hears what they say on the line, and the next thing that I know, I'm covered in bruises and I wind up sleeping on the couch" said Optimus. Megatron thought for a moment, then said, "I could see you choosing between Arcee and Elita, but not the others. I mean, I've seen them, and both Arcee and Elita are tied for the most attractive femmes…of course, I still think that all of the Autobot femmes could be hotter as Seeker femmes, but we all know how hard it is to find one of those, now do we?" "Tell me about it; I sometimes find my crew with some magazines that feature seeker femmes when they should be on monitor duty, and I chew their audios off. By the way, what did happen to the seeker femmes? The day that the war started, they all disappeared" said Optimus. "You'll have to ask Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp where to find them. They're the ones who know where to find the planets where the femme seekers inhabit. A lot of the Decepticons are pining Starscream and Thundercracker to at least tell them where to find the femmes, hence why those two are so much on edge all the time. If Starscream were to become leader, the other Decepticons know better than to annoy the Decepticon leader" said Megatron. "What about Skywarp?" asked Optimus. "He just teleports out before whoever's asking him can finish their question" said Megatron "Believe me, I met this cute seeker before the war, and I'm trying to get her planetary coordinates from Skywarp because he's the only one who I know who won't lose his temper." "Let me guess, that femme is Starscream's sister, isn't it?" asked Optimus. "Well, yeah. Even though she's Starscream's sister, you won't believe how attractive she is! We even have a lot in common" said Megatron. "MEGATRON! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT I DON'T WANT MY SISTER TO BE YOUR SPARKMATE?" shouted Starscream as he flew into the park.

The rest of the Autobots and Decepticons showed up in the park, as Megatron was strangling Starscream. "So, have you finished your argument with Megatron?" asked Pulse to Optimus. "We have. Megatron and I finished apologizing for an old argument that we had for a long time" said Optimus. Pulse nodded, then said, "Well, I'm glad that's over. Can we go home now? I couldn't help but notice that Buzzsaw, Laserbeak, Spike, Rumble, Frenzy, and Bumblebee are already in recharge, plus I'm pretty tired myself. You'll be surprised on how fast Rumble and Frenzy could run." "You mean, they were running from some of those monsters?" asked Optimus. "No, they were running away from me. They were staring at me, but not in the way that I wanted them too" said Pulse as she lowered her antlers in irritation. "Query: How long have you chased Rumble and Frenzy?" asked Soundwave. Pulse placed a servo where her chin was, then said, "About sixty times around the island in the subway and storm drain systems. You'll be surprised how many dinosaurs and sea fleas ran away from us while I was chasing those twins." "So that's why there was so many stampedes of those things running up from underground" said Trailbreaker.

Both Decepticons and Autobots talked together for a little while more before they departed ways. By the time the Autobots got back to base, they saw Soundblaster was up drinking energon on a berth with Berserk snuggled up next to him. The both of them looked as if they were drinking some of the high-grade energon, and Soundblaster looked towards the Autobots, raised his energon cube, then blacked out. "Normally, I love hanging around my grandparents, but this time, I'm happy that I was with you guys" said Pulse as she cringed, as some of the Autobots nodded in agreement.

A few days later, Teletraan-1 detected some sort of weird energy signatures coming from a canyon. "Optimus, what do you make of it?" asked Bumblebee. "I don't know Bumblebee, but let's investigate it before the Decepticons do. Autobots, transform and roll out!" commanded Optimus as he and a number of the other Autobots transformed and followed him.

They drove across the desert, until they came to the canyon. "Those weird lights are coming from that crevice, Optimus Prime" said Spike as he got out of Windcharger. "Wow! Those lights are hotter than a cybertronic laser flare" said Ironhide as he held up his arm to block the lights from blinding his optics. "Man, if I could put on a light show that cool, I'd dazzle multitudes of music-lovers" said Jazz. "Hot, cool, or whatever. While you motorized mumblers talk, I'll check out those lights" said Cliffjumper, as he got closer to the canyon's edge. "Take some readings first, Cliffjumper" said Optimus as he grabbed a hold on Cliffjumper's shoulder "Those crystals could be dangerous. I'd wish that Soundblaster, Pulse, and Berserk were with us, but Berserk is sick and needed both Soundblaster and Pulse to take care of her."

"All the danger that you can handle is already here, Floptimus Prime" screeched Starscream as he stood behind Optimus with a few other Decepticons. "Starscream! It's a trap!" called out Ironhide. "Brilliant deduction. Decepticons, fire!" ordered Starscream as the Decepticons began attacking the Autobots.

While the Autobots were fighting the Decepticons, Soundblaster and Pulse were checking up on Berserk. She had been very moody lately, and she was on the constant search for energy. As Soundblaster and Pulse continued to run some scans on her, Laserbeak was playing with Buzzsaw. The two siblings were having a practice battle, when Laserbeak let out a pillar of flame from her mouth. Buzzsaw squawked, then looked up at his sister. "Buzzsaw, I'm so sorry" she chirped. "That's ok, sis. That was cool on what you did" chirped Buzzsaw as they both heard the rumblings of engines. The Autobots returned to base, but…something felt off to Laserbeak. Curious, she flew over to them and looked at each one of them as she perched on a cable that hung from the ceiling of the Ark.

Later, Optimus was trying to punch in a few commands in Teletraan-1, and he said "Bumblebee, come here. The computer won't respond to my invoice. Bumblebee, I'm speaking to you" to Ironhide. Laserbeak cocked her head and chirped. She flew down and chirped to Optimus "Optimus, why you call Ironhide 'Bumblebee?'" "I meant 'Ironhide' naturally," said Optimus "I wanted to ask him when Teletraan-1 was checked out." Laserbeak cocked her head, before Pulse came over and said, "I just can't understand it. Both Grandma and Grandpa were here one minute, and when I turned my back, they were gone. I was sent out for some energon, and when I came back, they weren't here." "Femme, when was the last time Teletraan-1 was checked out" asked Optimus. Pulse just stared at the Prime, then said "Optimus, are you ok? You're acting off." "Uh, well, during the battle earlier today, I fell down into a canyon, and it rattled my circuitry" said Optimus. "Did one of the Decepticons happen to drop something on your helm on top of that?" chirped Buzzsaw. "Why, uh, yes. Yes, that's what happened. That bumbling idiot Starscream also dropped a large rock on my head" said Optimus. "I find your explanation logical" said Pulse as Teletraan-1's alarms went off.

"The outer-perimeter alarm!" exclaimed Spike. "But, all Autobots are already inside" said Windcharger. "That's not entirely true; both Grandma and Grandpa are missing" said Pulse as the screen showed a second Optimus driving towards the base. "What the? It's Optimus Prime!" said Jazz in shock. "It's amazing! He looks exactly like me. Let him in" said the Optimus inside the base. "But…" said Sam as Optimus said "He's obviously a Decepticon imposter. As soon as he's within range, shoot him down!"

It didn't take long for the second Optimus to enter the base, as all the Autobots had their guns ready. As soon as the doors opened, Laserbeak looked at him, and the next thing that the second Optimus knew, he had a happy little sparkling nuzzling his helm as she perched on his shoulder. "Now Autobots! Destroy the imposter!" commanded Optimus as Pulse exclaimed "Wait! He has Laserbeak with him!" "Then, don't hit Laserbeak" said Optimus as Pulse looked at him and said "After you fell and when Starscream dropped that rock on you, did you happen to have a rockslide crumble on you as well?" "Hold your fire!" said Ironhide as he got in front "No shootin' until we determine who is for real, and who isn't." "Well, it looks like you all made it back safely" said the Optimus with Laserbeak on his shoulder "I'm relieved." "And, where have you been all this time, Prime?" asked Ratchet. "Lazerbeak attacked" said Optimus as Laserbeak squawked in shock. Optimus looked at the bird and said "Not you, the other Lazerbeak" as the bird calmed down. "Anyway, Lazerbeak attacked, and I fell into a ravine and…what's going on?" said Optimus as he saw the second Optimus behind Ratchet "Is this some kind of game?" "I love games!" chirped Laserbeak "Can we play 'Charades?' Daddy is very good at that game." "I'm afraid it's no game. He says that he's Optimus Prime" said Spike as he pointed to the Optimus behind Ratchet. "Which would mean that I'm an imposter" said the Optimus with Laserbeak on his shoulder. "You can't talk this way out of this one. Every Autobot knows that I am the genuine Optimus Prime" said the Optimus with the Autobots.

Bumblebee walked over to Teletraan-1 and said "Teletraan, you're the only one who could tell us which Optimus Prime is Optimus Prime" as he pressed a button. "Detailed comparison forthcoming" said Teletraan-1 as the computer scanned both Optimuses. After the scans, Teletraan-1 said "Both subjects identical, therefore both are Optimus Prime." "But there can only be one real Prime. We've got to set up some tests of our own" said Spike. "I welcome the challenge" said both Primes at the same time.

There were several tests, which consisted of laser rifle sharpshooting, racing, and other tests. Afterwards, the Autobots were back at the base as Spike said "I guess that we struck out on the tests." "Hey guys, Teletraan-1 detects more activity at the energy crevice. The lights are glowing more and more intensely." "I'll say" said Ironhide "They're reaching critical temperature. We've got to stop that reaction before the whole area explodes." "Autobots" said both Primes as Ironhide said, "Hold it! Until we get your identities unscrambled, I'll give the orders. Autobots, transform and roll for the energy crevice." What the Autobots didn't know was that the Decepticons were amplifying the energy readings of the crystals, making Teletraan-1 give the wrong readings of the crystals' real energy levels.


At the crevice, Ironhide said "Autobots, transform!" "Be on guard; we could be heading into another Decepticon trap" said the Optimus with Laserbeak on his shoulder. "We'll spring any traps that need to be sprung" said the other Optimus. Just then, the Decepticons sprang from their hiding spots and began attacking the Autobots. Laserbeak took off and hid, cowering from the blasts. "Decepticons! Autobots! Hold your fire!" announced Starscream after a very long battle. "Did you have a blowout in your boxed brain, Starscream?" said Thundercracker "I've got an Autobot right…" "I said 'Hold your fire!'" screeched Starscream as he fired a warning shot into the sky. "I challenge the leader of the Autobots, the great Optimus Prime, to a one-on-one battle to the finish" said Starscream. "How are you going to know which one to take on?" asked Ironhide. "Ah, this is the one that I will destroy" said Starscream as he pointed to an Optimus. "Alright, so what happens when one of you wins?" asked Trailblazer. "The loser and his troops must leave the area immediately and forever" said Starscream. "Agreed, lets get on with it" said Optimus. "Then let the contest begin" said Thundercracker. The two then started in the battle, and they exchanged blows until Optimus blew up Starscream.

Laserbeak popped out of her hiding place, and saw Optimus destroy Starscream. She screeched in fright, then flew fast to the Optimus that did not participate in the battle. Optimus petted the little bird as Trailblazer said, "Listen guys! This one just destroyed the number two varmint, so he must be the real Prime." The other Optimus looked down at Laserbeak, and then he asked "Laserbeak, you've been with me ever since the other Optimus showed up. Why did you pick me over him?" Laserbeak looked up at Optimus and said "I could sense the difference in your spark. Yours is kind."

"Laserbeak, come here and join the Autobots as we investigate the crystals" said the other Optimus. Laserbeak shook her head as Optimus said again "Laserbeak, why must you stay with that imposter?" Laserbeak looked afraid, and curled up tighter to the other Optimus. A sound of loud jets was heard above, as Soundblaster and Berserk returned from wherever they were. They transformed and landed, as Soundblaster looked from his left to his right before he asked "Query: What is going on?" "Well, you see, there's been two Optimus Primes around, and this one here just proved that he's the real one" said Jazz as Soundblaster looked at him and said "And just how were you able to do that?" "Oh, we ran a few tests, but they failed, and this one here just proved that he's da real Prime by destroying Starscream" said Ironhide. Soundblaster then walked over to the Optimus that was with the Autobots, and he did a quick scan on his processor. Soundblaster shook his head, then looked at the Autobots and said "This one is a fake! I can sense that this one is being controlled by Megatron." "Why should be believe you? You're still a Decepticon" said Ironhide. Soundblaster looked really annoyed, then he asked "So, Optimus, have you had any weird dreams ever since your arrival on Earth?" "Only that I had a tiny version of Megatron ripping out my spark" said Optimus before he added "But, why does that concern you?" "Mmmhmmm" said Soundblaster before he walked over to the Optimus with Laserbeak and asked "And for you, have you had any weird dreams when arriving on Earth?" Optimus looked ashamed as he looked away. "It's embarrassing" he said. "Come on, you could tell me" said Soundblaster. Optimus sighed, then said, "I've been having this terrifying nightmare where this tiny purple flying t-rex keeps on blowing my head off. I also had this weird dream where a mechanical blue gorilla takes out my spark and puts it with his spark. I was flying with him afterwards for a short time, and then he placed my spark back in my body." Soundblaster nodded, then he looked at the other Autobots.

The Optimus with Laserbeak muttered something, as Soundblaster looked back at him and said "What was that, Optimus?" "I said, I…also woke up screaming from time to time" as he looked away in shame. All of the Autobots looked at each other, then said, "That's the real one!" Just then, Windcharger came driving up and transformed "Guys! Those crystals are dangerous! They're colorium crystals! I landed on a pile of them, but luckily, I transformed just in time! They destroy all electrical machinery on contact, but since I was in my car mode, my rubber tires insulated me from harm." All of the Autobots looked back at the false Prime as Windcharger said "Megatron constructed a false Prime to lead us into a trap, and what's more, he's also got Spike!" "Pure drivel" said the false Optimus Prime "Megatron has obviously reprogramed Windcharger's logic circuits to mislead you all. There is nothing that will harm us in the crevice. Soundblaster and his entire family were also proven to be Decepticons that were working on the inside. Follow me and we'll give Megatron a taste of his own medicine." What the false Optimus didn't know was that Soundblaster extended his tentacles, and hooked them up to the false Optimus' processor. Over the next two minutes, both the false Prime and the Star Warrior were silent, before an earsplitting "GAH! MY AUDIOS AND PROCESSOR ACHE! WHAT IS THAT FLYING MOUNTAIN MADE OF? SUPER POWERFUL TELEPATHIC ROCK-CONCERT STEREOS?" "I found where the shouting was coming from!" shouted Berserk as she pointed to a mountain, which was really the Decepticons headquarters in disguise.

The mountain began taking off, as Megatron shouted, "You won't catch me, Prime, but here's something to catch if you can!" as Spike was free-falling to the earth from the flying mountain. All of the Autobots watched in horror, but Laserbeak began flapping her wings and she flew as fast as she could. "Honey, when did Laserbeak learn how to fly so fast?" asked Berserk as she watched her sparkling fly off after Spike. "I have no idea" said Soundblaster as he watched Laserbeak catch Spike, and then brought him safely to the ground. "Laserbeak, you saved me" said Spike as he hugged the bird tightly. She chirped happily, as the Autobots turned to the Optimus clone as Ironhide said "Now, what are we going to do with him?" "Allow me" said Soundblaster as he tossed the fake Prime into the air, and then blew him to bits with his dark energy beam. I always wanted to do that thought Soundblaster to himself.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't hang on to Megatron, guys" said Spike. "Aw, don't worry. We'll nail him next time" said Ironhide. Spike then turned to Optimus and said "Is it really you, Optimus Prime? I mean, really?" "Yes Spike, this time I am definitely me, or I…myself. Or whoever I am" said Optimus. "Yep, that's the real Optimus. He always makes me laugh" chirped Laserbeak happily. "So, why were both you and Berserk out the whole day?" asked Ratchet. Soundblaster rubbed the back of his neck as he looked down at his pedes, as Berserk looked away, before they both looked at each other, then back at Ratchet as Berserk said "Well, it's because…I'm…pregnant." All of the Autobots looked at Berserk, as Soundblaster said "Yeah…I got her pregnant, and she didn't want to tell Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, or Pulse right away. She felt kind of awkward about it." "Oh great, just what we needed: another whiny sparkling running around the base" grumbled Gears as the others laughed for a moment, before they headed home.


"Ok Decepticons, we need to devise a plan so we can defeat the Autobots" said Megatron as he and his Decepticons were on board their underwater ship at their sea base. "My plan is to drill a hole to the Earth's core and collect the energy at the center. Of course, the Earth will explode, but we shall escape on a space bridge to Cybertron, while the Autobots perish" said Megatron. "That has got to be the stupidest plan that I've ever heard" said Starscream. "Of course you would say that, Starscream" said Megatron "Like any of your suggestions have worked." "Neither have yours" said Starscream "Let's review some plans: You tried to turn New York City into New Cybertron, but we got attacked by monsters, then there was the time when we blew up the sun, but we found that femme and that spacecraft can recreate stars, you tried to destroy the Earth by bringing Cybertron in Earth's orbit…" "Ok, ok! I see your point" snarled Megatron "Just, how are we going to defeat the Autobots?" "I wish that we had that hot panther femme who defeated Nightbird. She could be useful on our side" said Starscream as Megatron shouted "Starscream, you're a genius!" "I am?" said Starscream. "We'll find that femme, and make her ours!" shouted Megatron as he pumped his arm up into the air. "If we find her, does that mean that you'll finally stop bugging me on finding my sister?" asked Starscream. Megatron laughed, and then said "No." Starscream just grumbled, as Rumble whispered to Frenzy "Hear that Frenzy? We'll get that femme with the extra-large chassis for our ship!"

Back in China, adult Ravage was meditating. She was focusing her energy as she thought back to when she encountered Nightbird. She opened up her eyes, and got up. Some of the things that happened on that day bothered her, and she was unable to concentrate on a lot of things. A doubt had been placed in her mind, and it was feeding off her chi and energy. She walked through the temple until she came to ancient carvings in the wall. She stared at them as she thought back to when she was young.

She placed a paw on one carving that had her falling from the heavens, as a dragon, a goddess, and a powerful god were designed on it. The gods had cast her out of heaven, but she had no idea why she was cast out. Living in the mortal world was cold and cruel, but she learned many joys and sorrows that went with life. She looked to the next wall carving, and it had her as a baby looking up at the sky as a star fell out of the heavens. Ravage tried to remember why she was looking up at the sky that night. That falling star meant something, but she had forgotten long ago what it meant.

Ravage was staring at the carvings for hours when Liu Kang walked in and asked "Sensei Jaguaria, what bothers you?" "It's my past" she said "I fear that it comes back for a final test; a test where I may get admitted back to heaven. For far too long, I was forced out of the heavens and I made this mountain my home. The gods are coming back to cast judgment on me to determine if I can be allowed back in heaven again. I wish that I knew why I was cast out of the heavens, but…the answer escapes me."

At the base, Megatron was making some calculations on how to recruit the panther warrior, before he screamed "Argh! How can we get that femme on our team?" "Hmm" said Starscream as he looked at the long wall of ideas by Megatron, before he spoke "Perhaps it is best that we wait until an opportunity presents itself." "No! The time to act is now!" shouted Megatron as he shouted, "Decepticons, I need to learn the location of where this femme warrior lives!"

In order for Megatron to find the femme, he got Soundwave to search for the femme as well as Buzzsaw and Lazerbeak. Task: Finding where she lives. Response: Here we go thought Soundwave as he tried searching for the femme.

Weeks passed by, but Soundwave couldn't find the femme. As he continued searching for her, he managed to find where the Insecticons lived. "Megatron, I have not found the femme, but I have found the Insecticons" said Soundwave over a comm link to Megatron. "And why should I care that you found those pesky insects?" barked Megatron over the line. "Answer: Using Bombshell's Cerebro Shell, we can put the femme under our control" said Soundwave. "Hmm…well, we do need the Insecticons for another plan as well. Fine, we'll get the Insecticons for this plan, and then, we could use the Insecticons to control the panther femme…if we find her first" said Megatron.


Author's note 2: For the scene where both Optimus and Megatron are arguing in Central Park, I'll let your imagination do the reason why they're arguing. I've read a lot of fan-fictions where both Megatron and Optimus had some sort of past relationship, so I kind of wanted to play on that angle.

With Pulse chasing both Rumble and Frenzy around New York, I just had to put that in to show how little those two respect femmes, elders, and anybody else. You do not make Pulse angry if you know what's good for you.

When Soundblaster questioned both Primes, I made both Megatron and Optimus have different memories of when Predacon Megatron did to them in the past during Beast Wars. He nearly killed Optimus (and change the entire universe's history in doing so) while he took Megatron's spark to make himself stronger. Optimus still has memories of Predacon Megatron trying to kill him, which makes him have nightmares and he sometimes does wake up screaming, thinking that he died. I made Optimus' screams loud enough to wake up the entire base (as to display how bad the nightmares were.)

For when Megatron was talking with the Decepticons on what the next plan should be, and how to get Jaguaria, I wanted Starscream to have a few ideas (he is the second-in-command, so he should contribute some things to the Decepticon cause. And, Megatron has had plenty of bad ideas before, making him the reason to blame for a lot of things. In fact, in a lot of G1 episodes, I found Megatron's major flaws to be NOT listening to both Starscream and Soundwave when he SHOULD be listening to them. Am I right? Please leave a few comments about this.)
