Hello, bots and cons. Centurion Maximo here and welcome back to Young Justice: Their War, Our World. Metalhawk has revealed himself to the Justice League, Frost Vortex is trying to contact other Decepticons, the inmates that went with the Machination are living with Laura Penelope in her mansion.
Speaking of bad guys, The Light is now aware of what the Machination has done. I wonder what they'll do.
Now, this is a starting list of OC contributors so far:
Mobian
Vein Bloodborne
I thank these two for their support, and I hope this list expands as this story goes on.
Now, a little note: Today is the one-year anniversary of this story, so this chapter may have a couple of treats in it. HAPPY CANADA DAY!
*Happy Harbor. Mount Justice. Justice League and Team. 20:45 pm*
The League were introducing the Team to Metalhawk, who were taking it rather well. "So, you've been masquerading as a human the whole time?" Wally asked.
"That's correct." Metalhawk answered. "I apologize for the secrecy, but I couldn't reveal my identity to the Decepticons."
"We get it." Dick shrugged off. "You did what you had to in order to protect your friends since there are more of you on Earth."
"I appreciate you all understanding." Metalhawk smiled. "Now, my other friend should be here right about now."
Seconds later, Glenn drove up and exited his vehicle. "So, you finally decided to reveal yourself."
"Yes. It is apparent that more Decepticons are landing on Earth." Metalhawk stated. "You might as well reveal yourself to them."
Glenn smiled at Metalhawk's decision. "Well, it's about time." The same bright light surrounded Glenn who became a gray and blue Autobot standing with Metalhawk. "My real name is Greyhound."
"Nice to meet the real you." M'gann smiled.
"Like Metalhawk, I apologize for keeping my identity hidden. It was necessary though for keeping myself from being detected by the Decepticons."
"We ran into one of them by the name of Toxwing in Bialya." Conner informed.
"I see. Did you run into any Autobots in Bialya?" Greyhound asked.
"Roughneck was his name." Conner answered.
"Wait! You met that geezer?!" Greyhound shouted. "So, a member of the Rusties is on Earth. Have you run into any other Autobots in general?"
"Well, I have met Blurr." Wally responded.
"Oh, the speedster's here as well. Whoopie." Greyhound sighed. "Well, the more Autobots that are on Earth, the better chance we have of beating the Decepticons. Have any of you seen Bishop recently?"
"Wonder Woman, Superman, and I did a week ago." Batman replied. "Are there more Autobots with him?"
"From what it looks like on the scanner, yes." Metalhawk answered. "However, a new Decepticon has landed in Fawcett City, Minnesota. Though, this one was a little smaller than the others."
"Like we said before, we will help you Autobots." Kaldur repeated with complete determination.
"Thank you. We need all the help we can get." Greyhound said. "We also have to consider the Decepticons are gathering allies on this planet the same as we are."
"We must meet the other Autobots." Superman stated.
"We have to find them first." Metalhawk reminded. "Who knows where the others could be."
"They're probably traveling with Bishop wherever he is now." Greyhound assumed.
"There's also another matter: Workers have been disappearing all over the world." Batman informed.
"That's another thing to add to our to-do list." Conner remarked.
"Do you think these workers are being taken for a big project of some person's?" Wally asked.
"It is possible." Kaldur answered.
*Bishop's Dreamscape. Unknown Time*
Bishop was in a blank, white void. "Where am I? What's going on here?"
"Bishop…" Bishop turned to see a large red, blue, and gray Autobot with a faceplate standing a few feet from him. "It is good to see you again."
"Optimus Prime… How are you here?" Bishop asked.
"That does not matter right now, old friend. I'm glad to see you again. We thought you were gone for millennia after most of us were forced to leave Cybertron. Some began fearing the worst." Optimus reminded with concern in his voice.
"I was for a long while until I wound up on Earth. Luckily, Metalhawk and Greyhound came shortly after, and we've been on the lookout. Unfortunately, the Decepticons are on Earth as well now." Bishop explained.
Optimus put his hand on Bishop's shoulder. "Then we must protect Earth. If the Decepticons win the war, then Earth, Cybertron, and the universe are truly finished. Don't shut yourself out from the universe. Find allies who can help you with our missions and goals. Remember this also: Instill hope that people can fight back against the Decepticons. As long as there is hope, there is life."
*Star City. Abandoned Parking Lot. Bishop & Autobots. 21:33 pm*
Bishop woke up suddenly. Since he was in vehicle mode though, his lights blinked on. "Bishop, are you okay?" Embersting asked.
"I-I'm fine, Embersting." Bishop replied. "Just had a good talk with an Autobot."
"Which one?" Embersting asked.
Bishop transformed into robot mode and sported a big smile. "One we all know very well."
*Underneath Keystone City. Blackalert & Kendall Pines. 23:09 pm*
"Nice if I do say so myself." Kendall commented as he was finishing up connecting some wires.
"I have to agree, Kendall Pines. Very nice work." Blackalert complimented. "Now, let's test this thing out."
He pressed some buttons and the screen beeped to life. Suddenly, the other Machination members popped up. "Ah, we see that your end works." Professor Ivo commented.
"Indeed, Professor Ivo." Blackalert replied. "Adding to this, we've detected a new Decepticon signature moving around fast, on the ground."
"Excellent. Another one to add to our ever-growing ranks." Venomsting stated.
"We just have to find them." Kendall added. "I have no doubt that we will."
*Nevada Wilderness. Venomsting's Laboratory. 00:43 am*
"How are you feeling, Dr. Desmond?" Venomsting asked.
Dr. Desmond walked in, back in his human form! This was definitely surprising to the Decepticon scientist. She didn't expect her little concoction to work so damn well. "I feel like a new man, Venomsting. Thank you very much." He grinned.
"Using your blood as a baseline, I may be able to create a formula that will allow you to temporarily return to your more monstrous form." Venomsting explained.
"Sounds good to me." Dr. Desmond kept his grin. "Now, I can get back to work on the Genomorphs and Project: Blockbuster."
"See that you do. You will have your own private workspace." Venomsting said. "I'm looking forward to what you come up with."
"I look forward to showing you and the Machination." Dr. Desmond bowed.
*200 miles outside Amnesty Bay. Maine. 2:10 am*
It was a quiet night. The waves were not making much noise. However, something was burning through the atmosphere and that something was yet another meteor, but this one crashed into the ocean as well.
The meteor began scanning for alternate modes and it found a Hammerhead Shark. The meteor began forming into that animal and the newly formed robotic shark which was a light blue with red eyes swam off.
*Happy Harbor. Mount Justice. Bishop & Autobots. 4:32 am*
Bishop and the Autobots were at the base of Mount Justice. "I still find it hard to believe that you, out of all of us got the idea to come here." Voltshift remarked.
"Oh, shut your voice capacitor, Voltshift." Bishop remarked back. "Something just helped me shed a little light on our situation here on Earth."
"About time. I was getting worried here." Windstrike added her two cents.
Suddenly, the mountain opened up, allowing the Autobots to head in. Once inside, they were greeted with the sight of the Justice League, the Team, Metalhawk, and Greyhound. "So, the gang's all here." Bishop commented.
"Actually, we're waiting on one more guest." Wally grinned. Suddenly, Blurr raced in.
"Hey, guys! Did I miss anything?" Blurr asked excitedly.
"Oh, great. It's you." Bishop groaned.
"Did you miss me?" Blurr grinned.
"I did!" Windstrike exclaimed. "It's great to see you again, Blurr!"
"So, you're all the Autobots that are on Earth along with Roughneck." Black Canary guessed.
"Yep." Blurr confirmed. "More will come, but we need allies."
"Actually, Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, and I talked a while before Metalhawk did." Bishop revealed.
"We know about you Autobots, the Decepticons, and that there's a war going on between the two factions." Flash explained.
"We will help you to the best of our abilities." Green Arrow assured.
"Lo and behold: We have allies!" Sidewinder cheered.
"This is fantastic!" Skywinder added. "Plus, we finally have a temporary base!"
"Well, I've got my own personal base with my garage." Blurr cut in.
"Hate to break up the party here, but two more meteors have crashed in two different oceans. One of them was near Amnesty Bay while the other was off the coast of California." Dick informed.
"Well, that's just great. They're probably more Decepticons. Plus, since Belle Reve is leveled to the ground, the inmates are running rampant." Artemis groaned.
"We will have to divide ourselves." Red Tornado stated. "It is the most logical option."
*Happy Harbor Outskirts. 5:12 am*
A long black-haired young man with red eyes, claws protruding from his fingers, and brown skin wearing a robe of some kind with a hood was nearing Happy Harbor. He sniffed the air and smelled something off. He suddenly began running toward the city with a purpose.
*Isla Santa Prisca. Professor Ivo, Blightshot, Hellcrest, Lucas Boomer. 6:01 am*
Professor Ivo and his group were doing a good job manufacturing parts among other materials with what they did to the previously abandoned facility. "Things are going splendidly." Ivo grinned.
"That is great news." T.O Morrow grinned back. "Venomsting also has a surprise for us."
"Yes, I do!" Venomsting cheered. "You can come out now.
Right after she said that, Dr. Desmond walked into view, human once again. "Whatever Venomsting did, it turned me back. I have immediately restarted work on Project: Blockbuster and the Genomorphs."
"Excellent news, Dr. Mark Desmond." Blackalert had a slight grin. "I'm looking forward to having these Genomorphs with us."
"Same here." Toxwing agreed. "How's the project we thought up coming along?"
"It is progressing since we're using this facility, but we need more manpower, so to speak." Ivo explained.
*New York City. Central Park. 7:34 am*
A third meteor had just landed in Central Park. The robot that emerged was blue and white with a red-colored visor and a faceplate as well as a cassette chest. The robot transformed into a Scion xB and drove off.
*Front of the United Nations Building. 9:12 am*
G. Gordon Godfrey was in front of the United Nations building with a smile on his face. "Today, we have someone new who's been working their way to the top very quickly, even for me! Everyone! Allow me to introduce Megan Guigilone!"
Seconds later, a tall woman with short black hair and blue eyes wearing a black suit, black dress pants, and black dress shoes walked up to the podium smiling. Everyone clapped at the woman's arrival. "Hello, everyone! Now, let's begin talking about the important matters!" Megan announced.
Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked the final part of Birth of the Machination. Like I said, this chapter has a couple of treats in it: We have a snippet of Optimus Prime in Bishop's dreamscape, we have a certain Decepticon we all know and love arriving on Earth, and Megan Guigilone has appeared.
If you don't know Megan Guigilone, look up the IDW comics, but not the rebooted universe.
Now, a new person is heading toward Happy Harbor, the Autobots have met up with Metalhawk, Greyhound, the Justice League, and the Team, including Blurr, and workers have begun disappearing.
With the Machination, Venomsting has somehow managed to turn Blockbuster back into Dr. Mark Desmond who has quickly restarted work on Project: Blockbuster and the Genomorphs, Professor Ivo and his group have been manufacturing multiple parts on Isla Santa Prisca.
As usual, if anyone has any ideas fro this story, please let me know in the comments/reviews, or personally PM me. This concludes the multi-parter Birth of the Machination. There will be more multi-parters down the line.
