Darkness had steadily taken the wounded Decepticons. As they drifted aimlessly through space, they went offline one by one. Only Megatron remained active, his iron forged will to survive surpassed only by his desire for revenge against Starscream. A desire that, sadly, may not come to fruition. Or so Megatron might have believed. He could swear that he heard his name being whispered. Perhaps the voices of Transformers long dead come to claim another. No! Megatron wasn't ready to go offline, but he felt himself being pulled toward something. Something grand, something big. Impossibly big. Bigger than Megatron.
His optics caught sight of a light and then he felt solid steel upon his fingertips. Could it be that Megatron had somehow found his way back home to Cybertron? Not so, for the whisper he'd heard earlier became deep and commanding.
"Welcome Megatron." the voice said.
Megatron tried to center his vision on the source of the voice, which seemed to come from everywhere. "Who… Who said that?"
A white light shown directly in front of Megatron and the voice announced, "I am Unicron!"
"Show yourself." Megatron said.
"I have summoned you here for a purpose." Unicron said.
"Nobody summons Megatron." Megatron said.
"Then it pleases me to be the first." Unicron said.
Megatron glowered at the white light. "State your business then."
"This is my command you are to destroy the auto bot in matrix of leadership it is the one thing the only thing that can stand in my way." Unicron said.
"You have nothing to fear I have already crushed Optimus Prime with my bare hands" Megatron said.
"You exaggerate" Unicron said.
"The point is he's dead, and the Matrix died with him" Megatron said.
"No, the point is you are a fool, the Matrix has been passed to their new leader...Ultra Magnus. Destroy it for me" Unicron said.
"Why should I, what's in it for me" Megatron said.
"Your bargaining posture is highly dubious, but very well, I will be provide you with a new body, and new troops to command." Unicron said.
"And?" Megatron said.
"AND NOTHING," Unicron bellowed. "You belong to me now!"
"I belong to nobody!?" Megatron said.
"Perhaps I misjudged you, proceed...on your way to oblivion" Unicron said.
Megatron pondered his options. He considered them. Serving this so called Unicron, at least that was what it called itself, would grant his a new form and new troops. But conversely, it would make him a slave. Or, he could choose death at which point he'd go offline knowing that Optimus Prime was dead. But he'd cease to exist in the minds of his Decepticons. Starscream would see to that. Either way, Megatron was finished. He saw only one way out, and he didn't like it.
"No no I accept your terms,I accept."
To this, Unicron said, "Excellent!"
