Hello, heroes and villains. Centurion Maximo here and welcome back to Young Justice: Their War, Our World! In the last chapter, the Team along with Drift, Bumblebee, and Arcee face off against Bludgeon, though it's not much of a fight since it's Bludgeon. In the end, Robin is scolded by the bots, mainly Bishop. Meanwhile, the Machination takes a tour inside KSI with it's CEO: Joshua Joyce.

Now, back to the action!

*Happy Harbor. Mount Justice. 09:43 am*

Five days had passed since Bludgeon attacked the Team. Right now, the Team and even the League were on high alert should he pop up again. As long as Bludgeon was around, the Machination and Decepticons had a massive advantage.

"The Decepticons are pressing their advantages." Optimus pointed out.

"Of course they are. The heroes of this world have been in disarray since Bludgeon killed Batman." Bishop reminded.

"Bludgeon is a very tough customer." Ironhide punched his fist into his other hand.

"I'm more worried about Perdita back in Seattle." Blurr admitted. "Luckily, Embersting and Cliffjumper are staying with her."

"She doesn't have long, does she?" Jazz said.

"Not long unless we can get a heart transplant, fast." Blurr responded.

"I'm concerned about Robin. With how he's been acting, I'm surprised he hasn't run off again." Arcee voiced.

"Can you really blame him, though?" Jazz asked. "He lost the only person he could consider family."

"Exactly." Arcee said. "There's nothing we can do to help him."

Optimus didn't buy that, however. After speaking with his creator: Primus in Cybertron's core before leaving and being granted the Matrix of Leadership, nothing was really impossible to achieve. He quietly left to contemplate any options.

Meanwhile, in the medical bay, Robin was lying in a bed as his injuries were a little worse than the others. "Why did you just accuse Drift like that instead of listening to what he had to say?" M'gann asked.

"Well, apparently, Drift is named Deadlock." Conner crossed his arms.

"Used to be." Bishop said, making everyone in the room jump. "Yes. Drift used to be a Decepticon, but he changed sides as it's a choice. An intensely personal decision."

"Why did he change sides?" Artemis asked from curiosity.

"It's a long story, some of it weird." Bishop admitted.

Outside, Drift was meditating. Unfortunately for him, he was experiencing flashbacks of his time as Deadlock.

-Flashback Start-

*Cybertron. Praxus. 5 Million Years ago*

A black and white Decepticon with a katana in hand that was coated in Energon was simply walking through, looking for any Autobots to pick off. "You've done well, my student." Bludgeon said, appearing from the shadows.

"Thank you, Master." Deadlock bowed. "I owe my success to your teachings."

Bludgeon chuckled darkly. "Maybe with your help, I can gain more students."

"I would be my honor, Master." Deadlock said.

"Anyway, Deadlock. Any Autobots to be killed?" Bludgeon asked.

"None so far, Master. I think they're all dead in this area." Deadlock answered before looking around.. "Then again, there's always every nook and cranny."

-Flashback End-

*Happy Harbor. Mount Justice. 10:00 am*

"Oh, god…" Zatanna had her hand over her mouth.

"Drift was a cold killer…" Wally breathed.

"Well, you gotta understand that Drift was living on the streets of Cybertron, stealing just to survive. Bludgeon and the Decepticons gave him a purpose. It's only till later that he realized that purpose was wrong." Bishop explained. "Later, he left Cybertron altogether, ending up on the distant planet Theophany."

-Flashback Start-

*Theophany. Drift. 5 Million Years Ago*

Drift was taken by Wing to Crystal City where Drift came face to face with a blue, white, and golden yellow Autobot with large wings, a helmet-like head with three golden points, two on the left and right, and the third on the top. "What have you done, Wing?"

"I have saved this bot from slavers." Wing answered, but Dai Atlas wasn't having it.

"YOU SAVED A DECEPTICON!" Dai Atlas roared.

"I promise he won't be any trouble." Wing reassured.

"You'd better be right, Wing. You have violated our most important rule." Dai Atlas warned as he walked off.

Later, Drift was training with his new friend and trainer: Wing. "You're getting better, Drift." Wing smiled.

"Thanks, Wing, but I can still feel that the others still don't like me being around." Drift sighed.

"Well, you did show up unexpectedly and you were named Deadlock, so you can understand why that is." Wing chuckled.

"Wing! Drift!" Dai Atlas boomed. The two ran out to see Dai Atlas staring at the horizon. "I warned you that this one would be trouble."

"They're here because of me and I'll make it right." Drift began walking out, slightly shocking Dai Atlas.

-Flashback End-

*Happy Harbor. Mount Justice. 10:10 am*

"Dai Atlas was an Autobot?" Kaldur asked.

"Used to be." Bishop grew angrier upon mentioning Dai Atlas.

"He still is, Bishop." Arcee retorted. "He just doesn't agree with the war. He and Optimus Prime didn't exactly part on good terms."

"You mean he fled to Theophany with a sect named the Circle of Light. Things escalated when Drift crashed there." Bishop continued. "Later, Drift left and returned to Cybertron to join the Autobots."

Everyone, especially Robin was listening to Bishop who looked at the Boy Wonder. "So, after hearing Drift's tale from me and everything, do you think Batman would have wanted you to go after Bludgeon and die fighting him? Bludgeon has killed so many Autobots back on Cybertron that there's no official count."

"Bishop? Don't you even think you're being too harsh on Robin?" Arcee asked, making her presence known.

"Well, it's his own goddamn fault for trying to take down Bludgeon." Bishop growled. "Maybe now they'll understand why they shouldn't have gotten involved in our conflict in the first place."

"Hey! This is our planet!" Artemis yelled. "We're fighting for it, too!"

"We know that, Artemis. We just worry about your safety." Arcee voiced softly.

Just then, Blurr ran in. "Wally! I need you!"

"What is it?" Wally asked.

"You and I are going to save Perdita in Seattle with that heart transplant." Blurr said.

*Seattle. Seattle Hospital. Queen Perdita's Room. 10:30 am*

"Sorry we're late! Traffic was terrible!" Blurr in his holoform panted as he and Wally walked in, seeing Bumblebee, Embersting, and Cliffjumper also in their holoforms.

"Queen Perdita, my name is Bumblebee, this is Blurr and Kid Flash. We're with the justice league." Bumblebee introduced.

"N-Nice to meet all of y-you." Perdita panted, barely moving her head.

"We have to get her that transplant, pronto!" Cliffjumper shouted.

"Well, it's all up to us now wally. If we don't get this heart back here in time, Perdita will die!| Blurr panicked.

"Let's do this." Wally grinned as he and Blurr ran out of the room.

Unfortunately, Shimmer was listening in and grinned at herself for deciding to talk a stroll. "Shimmer to Strobe. Kid Flash and Blurr are heading to Boston and are will return to Seattle."

"We must not let them reach their destination." Strobe replied over the comms.

*Baston. Boston Hospital. 11:23 am*

Wally and Blurr ran past cars pulled off along the side of the road as he raced to the hospital, turning some corners; they skidded to a stop in front of the doctors. "Someone order a pizza?"

"What you're delivering is considerably more precious to the girl whose life depends on it." The doctor said sternly.

"Duh, I mean, did anyone order a pizza for me? A guy burns a lot of calories running at the speed of sound," he scoffed, putting on the backpack.

"Kid Flash, not the time." Blurr retorted with an eye-roll.

"Sorry, no," the doctor replied. "Now listen, this pack is heavily insulated for shock absorption, but that doesn't mean the organ within needs any extraneous jostling. Your PDA." Wally held up his arm and she put a time in. "You have four hours to deliver the heart, after that it is no longer viable. Am I clear?"

"Crystal, Ma'am." Blurr nodded.

"Then go, you two." The doctor ordered, and Kid Flash and Blurr were off back to Seattle. On the way, they were joined by Windstrike, Skywinder, and Sidewinder.

"We're here as backup for you two." Sidewinder said. "The bots, Team, and League are on standby also, just in case."

"I think we're gonna need it!" Kid Flash shouted as he spotted Strobe speeding towards them.

"Strobe is nothing." Windstrike reassured as she lowered to the ground close enough to open fire on the small Decepticon.

"Him, on the other hand…" Bludgeon jumped seemingly out of nowhere onto the road, his katana already ready.

"Oh, crap!" Kid Flash yelled.

"I'll be taking that." Bludgeon stated.

"Oh, no you don't!" Kid Flash retorted.

Nothing more was said for the moment. Just as Bludgeon was about to strike, Drift came in and diverted his attention, clashing his swords against his former master's. "I have Bludgeon's attention! Go!"

"Thanks, Drift!" Blurr thanked as he and Kid Flash sped forward toward their goal.

"You think you have my attention, Deadlock?" Bludgeon kicked Drift away and a bright light surrounded him. Seconds later, he was in robot mode, his faceplate looking like a samurai skeleton. He then transformed into a LAV-C2 APC Modified Type 90 Tank.

"He turns into a tank?!" Kid Flash screamed while running.

"What did you think he transformed into?! A minivan?!" Blurr shouted back while dodging Bludgeon's tank shots which exploded on contact with the ground.

Unfortunately, Strobe and Bludgeon weren't the only obstacles coming. Blackalert fired missiles from the sides of his vehicle mode. Blurr transformed to his robot mode and kicked Blackalert in the side. That didn't do anything however as Blackalert transformed to his robot mode, both vehicles combining to complete the robot form. "Oooohh, you're bigger than I thought you were gonna be." Blurr said.

"Hey, scrapheap!" Ironhide yelled with a grin before firing his cannons, making Blackalert flinch back. Superboy was preparing to lay the smackdown, but Blackalert fired his own cannons from his knee joints which got Superboy to seek cover. "Go, Blurr! Kid Flash! You've got to save her life!"

"On it!" Wally responded as he and Blurr went back to their path. The next stop was caused by none other than Red Tornado.

"You cannot be permitted to pass, Kid Flash." Red Tornado said darkly despite being a machine.

"Tornado! Whatever they did to you, you have to fight it!" Kid Flash pleaded, but Tornado wasn't having it as he unleashed a tornado attack, knocking the heart container off his back. "No!"

"I've got it!" Blurr transformed, jumped into the tornado, and grabbed the container.

"Results are unacceptable." Red Tornado said. "I must destroy… destroy…" Red Tornado suddenly dropped to one knee. "G-Go." Kid Flash and Blurr looked at each other before resuming their mission. The two speedsters were going as fast as they could to Seattle.

*Seattle. Seattle Hospital. 11:38 am*

Fifteen minutes later, Kid Flash and Blurr arrived at the hospital. "Thank Primus! We're here!" The two ran into the building. "Coming through, people! Make a hole!" Suddenly, both were kicked to the floor. They looked up to see Bludgeon standing there. "How the scrap did you get here before us?!"

"I'm a Metallikato master. I don't reveal my secret techniques." Bludgeon smirked as he took the container from the duo.

"What did you do with the doctors?!" Kid Flash shouted.

"Oh, they're fine. Unless they try something stupid." Bludgeon waved off and began walking. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a young girl to kill."

"You're a monster!" Kid Flash shouted angrily.

"I bet the one called Robin thinks the same after I killed his surrogate father right in front of him." Bludgeon readied his sword, preparing to bring it down. Now, Kid Flash and Blurr, prepare yourselves. For you two are about to leave this world."

"We don't think so!" Robin shouted as he brought his bo staff in combat position against the Decepticon.

"You think you fight me on your own after I killed Batman?" Bludgeon was taunting the Boy Wonder, until he got shot at by Arcee and Bishop.

"Go! Get the heart into that room!" Arcee screamed fiercely.

Kid Flash and Blurr got up and ran to Perdita's room, but not before Bludgeon threw a flurry of shurikens, one of which hit Kid Flash in the right shoulder. He screamed in pain, but was determined to save Perdita's life. When they got there, they immediately gave the heart to the doctors who quickly got to work. However, Wally suddenly felt woozy and fell over. "Kid Flash! Get up!" Kid Flash couldn't hear Blurr as he was fading out of consciousness.

Hours later, Kid Flash's eyes slowly opened up to see Blurr, the Team, and Arcee standing in front of him. "Wally! Are you okay?!" M'gann asked.

"I-I'm okay. There is a pain in my shoulder." Wally grasped his right shoulder. "D-Did we win?"

Blurr smiled. "We did it, dude. We saved Perdita."

The curtain beside him was pulled back to reveal Perdita with a smile. "You have all fought to save my life. I owe you all a debt of gratitude." Perdita said.

"No debt neccessary, your highness." Bumblebee waved off. "It's just what we do."

*Outer Space. Unknown Time*

In deep space, a space bridge opened up out of nowhere. A silver and purple Decepticon with bright red eyes flew from it, transforming it to robot mode. Making his way to an asteroid, a pack of alien criminals were planning just before their base was destroyed by seemingly a fireball. When most of the smoke cleared, the only surviving alien criminal could see a terrifying figure appear from said smoke. "W-Who are y-you?"

"I am Megatron." Megatron said darkly as he raised his Fusion Cannon and instantly fired, killing the alien and not really caring that blood smeared his feet.

Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked this chapter of Young Justice: Their War, Our World. We have a couple of flashbacks in this chapter centering on Drift when he was Deadlock and when he was on Theophany with the Circle of Light and Dai Atlas! Soon though, the focus goes back to saving Perdita.

We see Red Tornado again after a few chapters of him being absent. The strange thing is that he hesitated in his objective and told Wally and Blurr to go forward. Unfortunately, Bludgeon managed to get to the hospital before the speedsters.

In the end, old buckethead has made his very first appearance in this story.
