Hello, heroes and villains. Centurion Maximo here and welcome back to Young Justice: Their War, Our World. Well, things are looking good for the Machination. They now have multiple bases all over USA so far, they're using Isla Santa Prisca to manufacture parts for something, and two objects have landed in the ocean, and Dr. Mark Desmond has been turned human again which means that Projet: Blockbuster can be started again, not to mention the Genomorphs. If any of you have any ideas for Genomorphs or candidates for Project: Blockbuster, please let me know.
On the other hand, Bishop and the other Autobots (Not including Roughneck and Shade) have fully revealed themselves to the League and the Team. Who knows what they could learn from each other.
Third of all, A woman named Megan Guigilone has shown up. What'll she bring to the table?
Now, let's get back into the action!
*The Machination. Isla Santa Prisca. 22:03 pm*
It had been four weeks and the Machination hadn't made a big move. Finally, one of their big projects was complete. That's why T.O Morrow had his hands over Hook's eyes, walking with others. "Come on, guys. Can't you just tell me what the surprise is?" Hook groaned.
"It's better to just show you. We've spent a long time working on this little masterpiece of ours." Professor Ivo grinned.
"We've made it just for you." Lucas added.
"We think you'll really like it." Blightshot voiced.
A few minutes later, and T.O Morrow removed his hands, allowing Hook to see the surprise and needless to say, he was beyond shocked: A large onyx black, warm gray, blue, light blue, and cerulean blue vehicle with wings, thrusters, weapon pods on said wings, a command deck inside, a small art piece of a Great White Shark painted on the left side was sitting in the water. "Holy crap!" Hook exclaimed with his jaw dropped to the ground.
"Say hello to the first project we've completed just for you: The Stormtide!" T.O Morrow announced.
Hook had literal tears pooling in his eyes. "This is so damn beautiful! What amazing craftsmanship!"
"From this point onward, you are no longer just Hook: You will be known as Admiral Hook!" Hellcrest dramatically shouted.
"Admiral Hook… I like the sound of that." The now named Admiral Hook grinned.
"Now, you'll need a crew." Lucas stated.
The communications network popped up again. "Luckily, we have your potential first crew member located in the ocean." Wreckage said. "A meteor crashed in the ocean a few weeks ago."
"Then, everyone: I must take my leave and assemble my crew." Admiral Hook bowed and then slowly walked toward the Stormtide. He was still admiring the majesty of the Machination's workmanship. Seeing a compartment, he took a deep breath and entered his new vessel. Once inside, he marveled at it. It was truly a work of art. All kinds of gear and tech were installed inside. However, he made his way to the large command deck and remained in awe at the beauty of the effort put into the ship's construction. Making his way to the main console, he pressed a couple of buttons which made it start up its engines. Suddenly, a portal opened up just as the communications network opened up again.
"How do you like your gift, Admiral Hook?" Wreckage asked with a grin.
"It is a masterpiece of craftsmanship." Admiral Hook grinned back. "I'm just starting it up to go assemble my crew."
"Well, until you do, Shimmer, Mammoth, Tommy & Tuppence Terror, and Stormflow will join you in your ship. Your ship is large enough to support Transformers. We made it like that." Venomsting explained. Then, those mentioned came through the portal which closed immediately after. "Alright. Now, your new ship does have a cloaking function that will not drain power from other systems." The communications network closed down.
"Wow! Now, this is a tub!" Tommy shouted.
Tuppence playfully rolled her eyes at her brother's enthusiasm. "Where to first, Admiral?"
"The Coast of California." Admiral Hook answered. "An object crashed in the Pacific Ocean there, and we should get to it first. Everyone: Take positions. Stormflow: Take navigation."
Everyone took positions in the ship. Admiral Hook pressed the button that activated navigation. Stormflow took that as his cue to move the Stormtide to the desired course of the admiral. The thrusters burst further into life and the Stormtide was off.
*Nevada Wilderness. Venomsting's Laboratory. Dr. Mark Desmond's Quarters. 23:12 pm*
Dr. Desmond was in his new laboratory working on two projects at once. He was good at splitting his intelligence between Project: Blockbuster, and rebuilding the Genomorph forces he had without interference from that accursed Guardian or anyone else this time. He had already made great progress with Project: Blockbuster whereas with the Genomorphs, he was able to recreate the G-Gnomes, G-Dwarves, and G-Elves. He still hadn't been able to recreate the G-Trolls or G-Sprites simply because his workspace wasn't big enough, but he made due with what he had to excellent effect. A knock was heard on his door. "Come in!"
The door opened and Venomsting, Stinkmix, and Firebug walked in. "We just wanted to see how you were doing with your work." Venomsting said, curious about Dr. Desmond's progress.
"It is coming along splendidly. I have been able to make excellent progress on both Project: Blockbuster and the Genomorphs." Dr. Desmond grinned. "However, I have a problem with space seeing how this is your laboratory, no offense, of course."
"None taken at all." Venomsting waved off. "In fact, I've begun searching for a place we could convert into a new secret laboratory for you."
"That would be even more exquisite since lack of space is what's restricting me from further progress." Dr. Desmond repeated.
*Unknown Location. Unknown Time.*
The Light were once again in session discussing the Machination. "The Machination have been quiet for the past month." The first voice commented.
"Maybe they got scared of us and disbanded." The second voice cockily added. "No one can fight the Light."
"It would be better to guess that the Machination are biding their time, waiting for the right moment." The third voice voiced.
"That is the more logical option, but without knowing their locations, we cannot take any offensive actions that wouldn't involve revealing ourselves to people." A fifth voice interrupted.
"We'll have to find a way to snuff out this new shadow encroaching on our light." The first voice retorted.
*Gotham City. Shade. 1:45 am*
Shade was driving around in her Batmobile mode as she decided to join up with any other Autobots on Earth. She activated something and became invisible while driving. What she didn't notice was another meteor landing coincidentally close to Wayne Manor. This robot, however, took the form of the Batwing and flew off.
It found the signature of Shade and went invisible. "Shade?" It asked.
Shade found the robot trying to talk to her thanks to her finding the new signature. "Is that you, Shadowwing?" Shade asked.
"You bet your spark it is!" Shadowwing cheered. "Are you okay? What planet are we on? How long have you been on this planet?"
"In order, I'm perfectly fine, we're on Earth, and I've been on Earth for about a little over a month." Shade listed off.
"Alright. I'm glad you're okay. Have you managed to contact any Autobots?" Shadowwing asked.
"Not yet. I'm about to leave this city to try and find any other Autobots." Shade answered.
"Count me in." Shadowwing added enthusiastically.
*Pacific Ocean. Coast of California. The Stormtide. 2:12 am*
The Stormtide had reached where it was directed. Seconds later, it submerged underneath the waves. Once underwater, lights turned on and it continued its mission. Once it reached the bottom of the kelp forest it was in, it found a large pod. "A stasis pod!" Stormflow exclaimed.
"Stasis pod?" Admiral Hook was a little confused.
"They are pods that, like their namesake, keep Cybertronians in stasis until their destination has been reached." Stormflow explained. "The only way to open them is from the outside, or if the occupant inside has an alternate mode scanned, or if it's damaged."
"Then why don't we bring it onboard?" Mammoth suggested.
"Why do you think we're stopping right now?" Tuppence rolled her eyes at Mammoth's apparent denseness. Minutes later, the stasis pod was on the Stormtide. "I wonder what Decepticon is in this thing."
Her wonder would be answered as the pod hissed opened and out stepped a blue Decepticon with red eyes and robotic shark protrusions all over walk out slowly. "Where am I? What is this place?"
"You are on the planet Earth, and you're on the Stormtide." Stormflow answered. "Who are you?"
"I am Ragebyte. A Decepticon scientist." The now-named Ragebyte responded.
"Welcome to Earth and to the Machination. More of your comrades are with us." Admiral Hook grinned.
"Are there any other Decepticon scientists?" Ragebyte asked.
"Indeed. We have Venomsting." Stormflow answered with a smile.
"That is excellent news." Ragebyte grinned. However, before he could continue, something bumped the side of the ship. When they scanned the ship, they saw a light blue, red-eyed, robotic Hammerhead Shark trying to break into the ship. Ragebyte saw the Decepticon symbol on the shark. "Bring it onboard."
"Why?" Shimmer asked.
"That shark is also a Decepticon." Ragebyte answered simply. As soon as he said that, they brought the shark onboard where it transformed into a similar robot mode as Ragebyte. "Who are you, fellow Decepticon?"
"I'm Hammerstrike." He answered with pride. "Who are all of you?"
"I am Ragebyte. The Decepticon with me is Stormflow. The humans you see before you are Admiral Hook, Selinda Flinders, Baran Flinders, Tommy and Tuppence Terror." Ragebyte listed off.
"How did you figure out who we are?!" Mammoth exclaimed.
"I analyzed all of you when I was brought onboard." Ragebyte replied. "Other Decepticons that are on this planet have aligned themselves with these humans and have formed an organization called the Machination. We should join as it seems like this Machination is moving both our goals along without much trouble."
"Very well, but I look the look of this human wearing the hat." Hammerstrike unintentionally complimented.
"My name is Admiral Hook, and I would like you and Ragebyte to be the start of my crew." Admiral Hook grinned. "This is my ship: The Stormtide, and we will be the Machination's main sea-going force, crushing anyone who dares cross our path!"
"Now you're talking sense! I'll gladly join yer crew!" Hammerstrike grinned.
"I will join as well. You could always use a scientist." Ragebyte said.
"Then welcome to the Machination." Admiral Hook grinned.
*Star City. Laura Penelope's Mansion. 3:43 am*
Toxwing was in her vehicle mode underneath Laura's mansion when she detected a Decepticon signature approaching the vicinity. "Laura, we have a new Decepticon approaching."
"Well, why don't we welcome them?" Laura asked in Toxwing's cockpit.
"Now, that sounds like a great idea." Toxwing agreed. She wheeled out to meet the new Decepticon. When they did, they saw a electric blue and electric yellow Ducati 1199 Panigale sitting there. "Hello, fellow Decepticon."
The motorcycle transformed to robot mode. "What's up? I'm Strobe. Landed on this planet a month ago."
"Welcome then. We could use you with us." Toxwing said, still in her vehicle mode.
"You mean there are other Decepticons?" Strobe asked excitedly.
"Not only that, but we've allied ourselves with humans on this planet and have formed the Machination." Toxwing explained.
"Awesomeness!" Strobe cheered. "I'm all for it!"
"Then stay with us. We have plenty of space." Laura grinned.
*Unknown Location. Scion xB. 5:12 am*
The blue and white Scion xB was driving down a freeway when it neared a radio tower. It drove off the freeway and headed toward the tower. When it got close enough, tentacles sprouted from all over the vehicle and began hacking into the tower. A few minutes later, the tentacles retracted back into the vehicle as it drove off.
Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked this chapter of Young Justice: Their War, Our World. The Machination has certainly been busy as they constructed the Stormtide specifically for the newly named Admiral Hook who's gone off to assemble his crew. Later in the chapter, he finds a Decepticon named Ragebyte who is a character from Transformers: Robots In Disguise from 2015 appearing in only one episode in the final season.
Ragebyte is a Decepticon scientist. Like Venomsting, he has his own special field: Explosives. I'm going to expand upon that. He's the first crew member for Admiral Hook among the Stormtide. His alternate mode in this is a Tiger Shark.
The second crew member is Hammerstrike who is also a character from Transformers: Robots in Disguise from 2015. He shows up in the episode Trust Exercises after the two-part pilot. I'm making him a loyal Decepticon to both Megatron and the Machination.
In Nevada, Dr. Mark Desmond has managed to recreate Project: Blockbuster and recreate most of the Genomorphs without interference which he is very pleased about. Venomsting begins searching areas that could house Dr. Desmond and his research along with the Genomorphs and Project: Blockbuster.
A new Autobot has arrived by the name oh Shadowwing who is another OC thought up by Vein Bloodborne. Once again, I thank Vein Bloodborne for the contribution to this story.
Also, the motorcycle Decepticon has joined up with the machination forces in Star City as she locked onto Toxwing's signature. Her name is Strobe. She's a little excitable.
Now, from the last chapter, Soundwave is on Earth. We all know what he's capable of from any incarnation he's been in. As always said: Soundwave superior, Autobots inferior. He also has his tentacles like his Transformers: Prime incarnation. He's also been silent so far.
As usual, if anyone has any ideas for this story, please let me know in the comments/reviews, or personally PM me.
