MHA Reacts: Transformers (& Others)

by Gojiradon

(A Companion Fic to Kiddo's MCU Reaction fic, & "Sequel" to The Executive Reports: MHA Cast Reacts to Miscellaneous Movies...) After asking (more like pestering) the deity named Kiddo, one extremely powerful god has taken over after the previous tenant for hosting reaction movies for the heroes and villains of MHA, while also fixing up the Doomsday Theater. What happens next? IDK?

4. Transformers 2007 (Pt 3)

...72,550 WORDS...!

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK DID I GET MYSELF INTO! WHAT THE HELL DID IZANAMI GET ME INTO!

*gets slapped on the back of the head by named individual*

OW-WOW-WOW-WOW! That really hurts! Ow! Okay, jokes aside, according to the word count on this site the actual word count without the Author's Notes is...71,887 words...

...

...well...

...

...not much better...

...

...seriously...

...I am legitimately scared...

Okay, I better wrap this Author's Notes quickly. First, the reason it took so long to publish this chapter was for many reasons (none of which were any naysayers trying to bully me), but the biggest offender was that game no one would stop talking about…

{The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom}

That was my biggest reason why I took so long to get this out, it is a phenomenal game, and I am determined to beat it. Other reasons are as follows;

1.) I severely underestimated the density of this chapter as I wrote it…

2.) Reading others fanfictions, one of them were Omni-Remnants' crossovers…

3.) Making sure I didn't make any slip-ups…

4.) A health scare with one of my family's dogs apparently eating some of my neighbor's weed they tossed over the fence (she's a little puppy…)

5.) Looking for a Co-Writer(s) for one of my stories on another site.

Although those are my excuses, I really have no excuse for the wait, so I'm sorry. Plus, any of you who know how to transfer Pages docs on mobile to this site on mobile would help make these come out just a little faster. Won't have to go through my PC and re-bold, re-italicize, & re-underline all my writing…

Oh, one more thing, this is for the anonymous user who posted a review under the alias "commons sense". Truth is, I'm not exactly in charge of what gets put down in the story. The host actually is in charge and I was "volunteered" by her to transcribe what gets put down. I'm allowed to make some changes, but not everything, I don't always have control over her. It took some convincing from me for Izanami to not give you a VERY INAPPROPRIATE response. But, I did create this story because, like you, I was severely disappointed by the lack of reaction fics of the MHA cast to Transformers on the web. I made this to satisfy that itch I had. And while I'm sorry if my story isn't to your liking, you didn't have to be nasty about it in your review. So I deleted it, and only have this to tell you in response;

If you don't like my story, then don't bother reading anymore, and go and write your own reaction fic that fits what you and others like you were looking for.

I will delete reviews that get as nasty and insulting as those, in fact, while the criticisms are valid, I won't take them into account due to your immature attitude. Besides, Izanami has a good reason she wants her assistants there (but refuses to tell me what), as the two of them themselves think they are unnecessary to be there (I mean, they just want to spend time together alone in the afterlife after all the crazy things they went through in life, so be a little sympathetic for them, as they are technically there against their will…)

Well, as for why THIS chapter is so much longer than the prior ones. That's on me, I did not plan out how dense this last part was, and I wanted this to be concluded in three parts (I have something special in mind for reactions that have more than three parts.) Plus, I separated this reaction based on what I think made the most sense to leave breaks, and judging from the reviews and PMs I got after the last chapter, they certainly worked on getting you hooked. I would like to know what you guys think I should've separated this reaction.

As for my poll for the Dreamworks and Disney movie picks…wow, you clearly want me to cover those two movies…the results are what I was expecting, but I will not tell you if that is a good thing or not. But I see I need to clarify what is that poll…

It is NOT a "What (insert) movie do you want me to cover…?"

It is a "What (insert) movie do you THINK I will cover…?"

The closest majority votes to my choices will allow the next Dreamworks and Disney to be chosen by you readers (and don't say "I didn't know, you tricked me", because I said that from the beginning, that's on you for not paying attention…) But, if I felt the need to clarify this mix up for those of you who don't quite understand, then that must mean that the majority votes already cast are likely NOT the films I am covering in this guessing game. Which, if memory serves last I checked are Big Hero 6 for Disney, and Kung Fu Panda for Dreamworks…

There is still a little time for you guys to change this around once I begin covering the next reaction after this film if you really want me to cover these two films. Who knows if I will cover them anyways because they are good choices. But, if it helps you guys figure out what I have in mind, here's your hint;

Which stories do you think would teach the more meaningful message, or probably have the biggest impact to Kiddo's guests? (FYI, the first half is for Dreamworks, the second half is for Disney)

I have plenty more to say, but this has already run on long enough and you guys want to get to the nitty-gritty, the reason you are here in the first place. So, I'll save some of what I want to say after the conclusion…

Go on and read the MHA cast's reaction to the highlight of this movie, the final battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons…

1:29:09-1:29:32

"Oh, this is really bad…" Midnight said as the scene shifted from Optimus Prime holding Archibald Witwicky's glasses to a meeting between the SoD and several generals, "The armies of America, North Korea, China, Iran, and Russia are getting closer. If even one of those ships fires by mistake, as that one general said, things will get ugly real fast…"

The students could immediately tell just how tense things were, they were counting their fortunes that their world in the present was nowhere near as politically hostile as it was then in this world.

"If nothing is done soon…" Snipe stated the facts plainly, "…Millions of people are going to be killed in the crossfire…"

The villains were having a ball over how nervous the heroes are, but before Tomura or AFO could taunt them over it, Melissa commented, "And given the political climate of the time, how long before a nuclear war is waged…"

As all the villains were from Japan, they immediately shut up over the mention of a nuclear war, Izanami smirked as they understood how serious the situation is and it is no laughing matter.

"Secretary Keller has a point, if things get out of hand real fast, it may define the presidency…likely being the last one before the world is plunged into a nuclear apocalypse…" All Might commented in a worried tone.

The scene changed from the war table scene to the opening gate at the Pentagon, revealing a man in black with a mustache entering, holding a briefcase.

"How much you want to bet he's part of Sector Seven…?" Awase remarked rhetorically to his classmates.

"I'm not taking that bet, it's too easy…" Jurota replied, with Reiko, Itsuka, Setsuna, Mina, Toru, and Kamikiri agreeing.

Everyone grew silent when one of the Pentagon's workers described that the US and Chinese task forces were within cruise missile range, with Keller relaying an order to the commander of the strike group to not fire unless fired on first. The tension was thick, as the seriousness of the Decepticons' actions to find the Allspark may result in another World War, the one they dreaded would come to pass.

Nezu broke the silence as the mustache man called out to Secretary Keller, "I know by this point, we are going to get all the answers to the questions we have…"

1:29:32-1:30:02

"Tom…Banachek…Advanced…Research…Division…" Izuku wrote down this info on the page he designated for Sector Seven, particularly that additional aspect of Sector Seven being a research division of the US Government.

"What does that mean? Advanced Research Division?" Kaminari asked, with Kyoka facepalming as she replied, "It means that they develop tech and weapons for the government in secret, which is definitely why lots of people haven't heard of Sector Seven…"

With Keller confirming even someone in his position had never heard of it, everyone got worried that this organization was a shady kind, despite being officially part of the government. Once Keller waved off Tom by stating he is busy, all the computers glitched and shut off with static, alarming everyone as they realize what that likely meant.

"The virus Frenzy planted in Air Force One. It activated…" David growled out, seeing how quickly the virus activated.

"It seems I was right about the virus being coded to shut down the defense military network. But, how big of a scale is the shutdown considering the virus was a Web-Crawler…" Nezu remarked, sighing in frustration as such a virus would be beyond his capability to combat.

Once Tom told Secretary Keller he was going to sit down, the audience prepared for the damage report on the virus, noting with what they speculated and knew so far bidding not good news…

1:30:02-1:30:30

Once they heard what the virus Frenzy uploaded into the defense network did, everyone felt their blood run cold as ice, hero, villain, and everyone in between.

"A global communications blackout?! Holy crap! In our world, it may very well be the end of the world with how many people communicate electronically!" Mina shouted in disbelief.

"Even the old-school landlines that were being phased out by that time are out of service…that is really bad, further emphasized by the fact that Defense Secretary Keller can't even call his family, cell or landline…" Midnight shuddered at how severe the situation is.

Aizawa remarked with a click of his tongue, "Tsk! If this film's events happened in our world in the present, there would be mass panic across the globe once that virus cut off communications."

"I want to root for the Decepticons, but even I find that annoying as f*ck!" Tomura commented, scratching his neck in irritation.

"Mr. Secretary? I'm here under direct orders from the President." Tom clarified to John Keller.

"Oh, the President knows what's going on?" Ida asked, feeling a little nervous in regard to how bluntly Tom stated why he was there.

"Usually, most branches of the government, even those kept secret from the public, answer to the President of the United States. It's well-known that, as the commander-in-chief of an entire nation, he tends to call the shots in major emergencies. This is especially true when the life of the President is directly threatened, so that's why some people get in big trouble if they give a threat to the President's life, even as a joke that is in no way serious, such jokes are taken very seriously and are no laughing manner…" Rosa answered, everyone, thinking it made a little sense.

Secretary Keller looked at Tom Banachek in confusion as he said that, then added in an urgent tone, "You really need to see what I have in this case."

"Hmm…what could be in there? Perhaps everything Sector Seven has in regard to the Transformers?" Momo asked with intrigue, Tsuyu replying, "Given what we have seen so far, that is almost a guarantee."

1:30:30-1:31:56

With a click of the briefcases locks being opened, Banachek pulled out an SD card as he explained what Sector Seven was and how they know about the Transformers to John Keller, but not before he warned the military leader that there were some things he will have to accept he won't understand immediately.

"We are watching this before our eyes, we're in a movie theater floating in space that was created by a god, who brought us here to view other universes in the form of films. We still have yet to understand any of this, and I think we never will…" Kaminari remarked at Tom Banachek's words, Kyoka replying, "And that might be the smartest thing you have said this entire time…"

"Welcome to the Multiverse, where everything you knew as truth gets thrown out the window of a thirty-story skyscraper…" Izanami said, waving her hands as if to emphasize magic.

"It takes getting used to…trust us, the less you know the full scope of it, the better off you will be…" Sean sighed, like he spoke as if he was repeating the advice he just told.

Izuku scribbled down the information Tom gave to Secretary Keller, "So, Sector Seven was created in secret under President Herbert Hoover in 1929 when he took up office. But the organization's activities were active since the 1910s."

"Huh, this version combined two ideas from two separate media outlets. He simply said that thing about President Hoover, and started it was 80 years prior to 2007 in our version, which doesn't add up with the date Hoover actually succeeded office." Rosa commented to herself.

Once Banachek brought up the Beagle 2 Mars Rover, all the inventors and astronomy enthusiasts immediately perked up.

"Oooh! What does the Mars Beagle 2 have to do with the Transformers?" Mei asked, which prompted Nejire to ask, "What is the rover? Why was it called Beagle 2?"

Before Nejire could ask more questions, Melissa Shield answered for her and anyone else wondering about the Mars probe…

"The Beagle 2 was a European Space Agency lander, it didn't have a rover. It touched down on Mars during December of 2003, where it was believed to have been destroyed while touching down. But, it wasn't until January 16th, 2015 that NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter found the Beagle 2 had indeed landed on Mars as planned, but the mechanisms deploying two of the lander's four solar panels failed, which cut off the Beagle 2's ability to communicate with mission control, which blocked the antenna. At least for our world, we managed to recover the Beagle decades after its discovery…"

Sean added, "That much is true in our reality when we were alive, but as this film was set in 2007, and it wouldn't be until eight years later the truth about the Beagle 2 was revealed. So, the probe's fate was different in this movie, it actually was the major subject of the film's first teaser trailer, making it out that the Beagle 2's footage was the 'Earth's only warning' before the Transformers arrived on Earth. Typical 90s and 2000s teaser buzz…"

"So what happened to the Beagle 2 in this specific reality?" Kaminari asked, with Makoto remarking, "Knowing that Sector Seven is involved, it was likely destroyed by the Transformers…"

"And I'm willing to bet that the Decepticons were the ones who did it…" Tsukauchi remarked with a skeptical look as Tom explained that the Beagle 2 transmitted 13 seconds, and showed Keller the footage the Mars probe recorded.

"How could something be classified above top secret?" Tetsutetsu asked, with Nezu replied, "Usually when something has that classification, Mr. Tetsutetsu, it means it is not meant for anyone's eyes to see, not even individuals high up in the political ladder. It's not always the case, but it happens enough for it to be frequently used to describe such levels of secrecy…"

The footage's last seconds showed a very distinctive and imposing figure reaching over to the recording and the camera cut to static immediately after a horrifying sound of metal being crushed violently was cut off abruptly. Leaving only mission control of the ESA to log the mission failure, with Tom remarking that it seemed like more than a pile of martian rocks.

'Huh, so the figure was shaped like Starscream, while my memories had it look distinctly like Bumblebee's shape…' Rosa thought as she lightly scratched her temple in thought.

"Wait, is Mars, Cybertron?!" Jurota exclaimed in shock over what Banachek said, everyone else extremely worried about the fate of the homeworld of the Transformers.

"No, Mars is not Cybertron, never has been, never will be…" Izanagi bluntly stated, "In this universe, Cybertron is a much larger planet than Earth…"

"That is one of the more frustrating aspects of the Transformers, as the actual size of the planet Cybertron varies greatly depending on which continuity you look at. Generally, after the 2010s Cybertron has consistently been described as being a planet larger than the Earth." Rosa added, which made everyone wonder just how big was Cybertron, and why it was so inconsistent in the planet's size.

But those thoughts had to be filed away for now as Tom Banachek showed the Secretary of Defense two photos, one of the Transformer that destroyed the Beagle 2, and one of Blackout's attack on Soccent Air Base.

"While they are different, I do agree with Agent Banachek on the two being of the same exoskeletal type, reasonable to believe that they are part of the same group." Cementoss commented.

"Well duh! Of course, they are obviously not Russian or North Korean. They are from outer freaking space, morons!" Mei exclaimed, appalled at the idea of these sentient alien robots were anything of Earth.

Hearing Keller ask if they are talking about an invasion, Kyoka remarked, "At this point, it seems very likely, to almost a guarantee, especially since the Decepticons are after the Allspark."

When Tom explains that Sector Seven intercepted the message from Lennox's crew to Northern Command before the communications blackout, everyone was relieved that the blackout was too late to prevent the military from preparing to arm themselves with weapons that will harm the Decepticons. But that begged the question, how will they communicate this information now…?

"This is surprisingly smart on the Decepticons' part. Knowing that humans now know their weapons could harm them, they plant a virus that cut off any satellite and landline communications, preventing the United States military from coordinating against their next attack. And as Agent Banachek said regarding his salary, I'm willing to bet my position as Principal of U-A that the Decepticons' next attack is coming very soon…" Nezu said as he thought about the tactics of the Decepticons.

"Something a lot of you should keep in mind, this isn't a hero vs. villain story in the traditional sense. This is a story involving two warring factions, and humans are caught in the middle, you should keep in mind about watching this from the perspective or mindset of a soldier, instead of a hero…" Izanami pointed out, making some think about how different the two mindsets are.

Ochako heard the bit about Banachek's "ridiculous government salary" and asked, "Wait, how much money do secret agents make?"

Sean answered, "I am not entirely sure about the exact amount, but generally agents of Banachek's position make more money in a month than most average civilians make in an entire year at minimum…"

Ochako muttered quietly to herself after overcoming the shock of how much money government agents make, "Maybe I should've applied to work as an agent instead of a pro hero? No, I don't have the heart or stomach for that line of work…"

1:31:56-1:32:12

"Oh! That is what I was thinking regarding getting word to the fleets out readying to fight against countries that we're accused of a crime they didn't commit. If satellite and landline communications don't work, perhaps shortwave radios of the National Guard Frequency might still be working, brilliant!" Nezu clapped in satisfaction, once Keller relayed the order for all the dispatched battle groups to come home and prepare for an imminent attack by the Decepticons.

Aizawa commented, "This is important to note, as despite being crippled, it is not the time to panic. The Decepticons, by first attacking Soccent Air Base in Qatar, then by hacking the military mainframe in close proximity to the President, have effectively declared war on the United States. If they are trying to cut off their communications to keep them from coordinating a counter-strike, they should find a way to organize their forces to prepare for an imminent attack. This is important for you students to learn in a crisis like this one…"

All the students nodded a yes in compliance, without saying another word.

1:32:12-1:32:47

"All the pieces are coming together…" All Might said quietly, once some agents pulled up to Lennox and Epps, and told them they need to come with them right now.

"My guess is Sector Seven is bringing together all those involved with the Transformers, likely to get as much information as they can to prepare for the Decepticons' next assault…" Itsuka Kendo thought aloud with crossed arms.

"I am drawing a similar conclusion myself, Itsuka-san…" Momo replied, her chin resting on her hand in thought.

Once the scene transitioned from the air base to the interrogation room Maggie and Glen were sitting in, Kaminari asked, "Wonder why it's focusing on these two?"

Mirio responded, "It's clear to me, little kouhai of mine. Maggie and Glen were the ones who managed to crack the signal that Blackout and Frenzy made hacking the military network. So, any input they give would help in better coordinating a defense against the Decepticons will be all the more helpful."

"It's like that little saying…" Izuku added, "Every little bit helps…"

"Precisely the point you two…" Nezu said as Keller entered the interrogation room and told Maggie she'll be coming with him as his advisor.

"Heh, Glen's wondering if he could leave too…" Sato chuckled, as Glen asked if he goes too.

Everyone chuckled as Keller asked who Glen is to Maggie, with the young woman saying that the hacker is her advisor.

"Well, that's one way to get out of trouble of the FBI, help a computer analyst decipher an alien signal, and have said analyst say you are their advisor…" Spinner remarked with a snicker, finding the brief exchange amusing.

Hearing Keller say that Glen comes too, without a second thought made Aizawa sigh, "He did break the law by analyzing a signal that penetrated the National Guard frequency's firewalls. That alone is enough to be thrown in jail over, but he figured out a clue regarding the true identity of the attackers, so he will likely get off easy in this regard…"

"I can confirm with what little American law I know that even if he did something illegal, he ultimately prevented a war with an innocent country from occurring, so he would be let off with a warning, and will be put on the 'watch list' of the FBI," Makoto added, tapping a finger on her lips.

1:32:47-1:33:30

"Well, yeah…I guess that's the most unique reason I heard for why some kid gets arrested…" Makoto remarked.

Her brother sighed as he said, "I would think I had lost my sanity if I arrested a kid because he bought a car that turned out to have been an advanced alien robot in disguise. Just hearing myself say it aloud makes me think I've lost my sanity."

"Yeah, it would sound completely unbelievable if we haven't seen it before our eyes…" David added, he would have a heart attack if Melissa ended up buying a car that turned out to be an alien robot.

Once the scene showed a canyon revealing a dam, the Americans in the audience recognize it immediately.

David remarked, "Hoover Dam? Sector Seven is taking them to Hoover Dam?"

Momo recognized the name, and asked, "Hoover Dam? Is the movie telling us there's something important about it?"

"It's likely where Sector Seven's headquarters is located…" Shoji replied.

The scene soon changed from everyone being directed from the helicopters, to showing Bumblebee restrained as cold air kept him at bay. The children and teens felt their hearts tighten hearing Bumblebee let out a whimper, and seeing him shudder in the cold.

"Oh, Bumblebee…please be okay…" Kyoka prayed, with Ibara actually praying, "Please lord, deliver Bumblebee from his suffering so he could return to his friends…"

1:33:30-1:34:35

-[Play Optimus - Transformers Film Score]-

Once the scene changed from that heartbreaking scene, the music did as well, a quiet, melancholy theme played in the background, showing Optimus Prime and the other Autobots gathered at the Griffith Observatory in the afternoon sun.

"God, the music… it's so different…can't explain why…" Kirishima said quietly, feeling that he has to talk quietly out of respect for listening to the music.

"Yeah, it sounds…like it forces you to step back, and consider your options carefully, or even, sounding like it's…I, cannot think of what to say, but you know what I mean…" Itsuka added, placing a hand over her heart.

Kyoka couldn't reply at all to that, the music forced her to stay silent, and just listen. A sentiment shared by everyone, as it was beautifully moving, yet it sounded so melancholic.

"Here we are, Optimus Prime's defining moment in this film…" Rosa said quietly, bracing herself to see how different or similar this version of the scene is based on the original of her memories.

She felt her husband wrap his arm around her, something she appreciated, and rested her head against his chest to show her affection.

Izuku could tell by the tone of the scene, he had to give it his whole attention, so in a rarity for the boy, he closed his notebook, and for good measure, had Ochako sit on it so he would pay attention. The rosy-cheeked girl was surprised, but complied with his request to her internal delight, but she just stared at the screen like everyone else, completely silent.

Even Bakugo could see it was going to be emotional crap he can't stomach most of the time, but he held his tongue as the scene composition and the music forced him to give the scene his undivided attention.

The pro-heroes and the villains fell deathly silent as well, feeling like Optimus was about to give a speech, which to be fair, is par the course for the Autobot leader.

'Oh, you have no idea…' Izanami smirked, chuckling a little in her mind while remaining just as quiet as everyone.

Optimus delicately held onto Archibald's glasses, looking at them in worry as he quietly prayed, "Please, let this work…"

Momo broke the brief silence as she asked, "What does Optimus Prime mean when he says that…"

Rosa obviously showed she wondered as well without saying a word, as Izanagi explained, "The Autobots spent most of the day communicating with that data tracker they brought up earlier. This is because the coordinates imprinted on the glasses were made in 1897, enough time for the Earth to change from then to now, especially as the coordinates were much older than that. So they had to make the necessary adjustments to ensure a more accurate reading of the Allspark's location. The Allspark did, in fact, arrive on Earth long before Megatron crash-landed in the Arctic by around thousands of years…"

Nezu replied, "Oh, I see. They have to be sure the location is accurate, and with their shortening window of time, they cannot afford to be off by a couple of meters…"

"Correct…" Izanagi bluntly stated with his unchanging poker face, as the scene continued.

"We've done all we can, now fire it up Optimus…" Jazz said as Optimus delicately held the glasses in a way where he could peer through the lens.

Optimus fired the beams from his eyes with that holographic projection earlier through the lens of the glasses, and a holographic approximation of the Earth was shown, with glyphs, and readings, and blinking lights scattered across the holographic globe.

"Ooo…look at the Earth…it's all…metal-ie…" Katsuma said to his sister, who replied, "Yeah, it looks all techno 'n stuff…"

"That must be a copy of the coordinates Megatron imprinted, directly translated from his processors…" Shoto quietly guessed, shushing himself once the scene continued to play.

"Based on the information Perceptor has given us on the Earth. The coordinates indicate that the Allspark is 230 miles from this city due east…" Optimus said as the camera focused on a glowing beacon on the metallic globe.

David remarked with a whistle, "Wow, right on the money, considering that the globe pinpointed the Allspark being there, and despite the metallic plates on that globe, I know what is in the general area of the map. And given that they're in Los Angeles, the Allspark's placement points to one place with that distance…"

All Might asked, "Well don't leave us hanging Dave. Where is the Allspark located?"

David answered to everyone's silent shock, "It's located either at or near Hoover Dam in Nevada…"

"Hoover Dam?" Momo asked, recognizing the super-structure as where Sector Seven was taking everyone, "What is it doing there?"

"We'll find out either way, and it's tied to Megatron and Sector Seven as well, this act is where we start getting all the answers to the questions raised at the beginning…" Nezu said as he took a bite out of his plate of food.

"Oh, their data tracker was Perceptor? I wonder if he'll show up in one of the sequels?" Rosa asked herself in a hushed tone.

Sean replied as he handed her a Butterfinger candy bar, "Who knows, this could just be a name drop…or not…"

"I sense the Decepticons are beginning to mobilize…" Ratchet said as he felt a chill in the air, the other Autobots felt it as well, as Ironhide said, "They must also know the Allspark is within this region of the continent. We're out of time…"

"Oh no…that's really not good…" Ragdoll whimpered in a hushed tone, biting her thumbnail with worry.

Chromia clipped what looked like a small alien pistol to her hips as she said, "Well, not like we won't go to the Allspark without a fight. The cons have been at this the old-fashioned way for who knows how long, a fight between them is an inevitably…"

Sideswipe spoke up as he said, "But what about Bumblebee, we can't just leave him to die to become some human experiment, we have to help him…"

Longarm spoke for the first time and his words carried great weight, "He will die in vain if we don't complete our mission, and the humans will suffer as well if we fail…"

"Oh, Longarm spoke!" Midnight said, caught by surprise by how young the assistant medic sounded, "He sound's quite young himself…"

"He is right, however," Aizawa replied, "If they don't complete their mission, then a lot of people are gonna die, and at the hands of a warmongering tyrant…it isn't just Earth, they have countless worlds to protect…"

"As Spock had quoted, 'the needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few.' I don't think I need to remind everyone of that, correct? You can't save everyone, but you should try anyways…" Nezu continued, with all the students nodding in understanding.

Optimus said after Longarm spoke his peace, "Bumblebee is young, but he is a brave soldier. This is what he would want us to do, I would ask you to do the same if I was in his place."

The scene showed as the conversation from earlier showed Bumblebee being loaded into some kind of laboratory, a light fixture like those at a dentist's or doctor's clinic hanging above. As he was loaded into position in the room, he was continually blasted by the cold air throwers, as other agents locked the yellow Autobot to a table lift of some kind.

"Oh no, Bumblebee…" Kyoka whimpered out in such a heartbreaking voice, that Kaminari and Tsuyu instinctively held onto her in an embrace, and she didn't fight back their attempt.

Bakugo was furious with Sector Seven for how they treated Bumblebee, especially as he wasn't fighting back despite how easy it would be for the scout to blast them to pieces. It ate away at him with how sick it made him feel, especially as it brought to mind memories of how he treated his childhood friend, Izuku Midoriya. The fury and frustration he felt made him want to throw up, as he wondered, why the hell won't the Autobots fight back, if the humans are harming them, shouldn't they defend themselves as their right to do?

Ironhide asked the commander, "Optimus, why are we even fighting for the sake of the humans? They are a primitive and violent race of beings that are filled with a greed equal to that piece of scrap, Megatron. Their damn recorded history is proof of how savage they are…"

Hearing Ironhide's inquiry to his leader juxtaposed with showing Bumblebee being woken up, quite barbarically, by the scientists of Sector Seven sending jolts of electricity through the scout's body. And based on how he reacted with each jolt, it was very painful for Bumblebee as he winced and cried out in pain. Everyone gasped and cringed with every jolt the young scout/guardian made, it was almost unbearable to watch.

"Ironhide has a point, why bother helping a species like us, who just never learn? Our recorded history is proof enough of that…" Momo said in an utterly depressed tone, sounding like she wanted to cry.

"We're all a bunch of jerks…all of us…" Mina wept, she used Kirishima's shoulder as a tissue to hide her tears, and the hardheaded boy didn't mind for once and let her.

Spinner hung his head low as he said, "I agree with her…"

Toga felt awful as humans were horrible beings long before quirks came to being, as she whimpered out with Twice put a sympathetic hand on her shoulder, "We aren't worth it. We aren't worth your efforts to defend us, Optimus."

All For One simply spoke to himself, not exactly happy or upset over the mood everyone was in, just indifferent, "To be frank, looking at our world's history even before quirks appeared, I hardly see us worth any form of salvation. Even as a good-intentioned individual…"

Everyone hung their heads low with guilt and shame, Ironhide had a point, and it ate at them all. The children covered their faces, unable to bear seeing Bumblebee tortured under experiments, Eri taking it especially hard as she knew exactly what Bumblebee was going through. She clung to Mirio Togata like a lifeline as memories of Overhaul circled her mind.

Bakugo felt especially shameful, as he knew how violent he was, and still is, and he hated it now, he wished he could take back all the awful things he did in the past, especially all the awful things he said and did to Deku.

"We just aren't worth it…" Shigaraki said in a quiet, sad voice, as the full ramifications of his actions in life came back to him in a new light, and he felt he didn't deserve to be treated as a human. He even, for the briefest of moments, regretted killing his jerk of a father, the one guy he was glad he killed, unaware of his father's true feelings for his son.

Izuku felt absolutely horrible himself, hearing what the red-and-black Autobot say about humans as a whole couldn't be more clear and on the nose. Even with good intentions, lots of people have done unspeakable things, and there's still a divide between people, there was still that unnecessary violence across the globe back home. For the briefest moment, Izuku felt that becoming a hero wasn't worth it if people still kill each other for personal gain.

"Oh, lift your heads already, you sulking mopers!" Rosa said loudly to everyone, getting their attention as they looked directly at her as she continued, "If you guys knew Optimus like the four of us knew him, you know what his response would be to Ironhide? Well, I suggest you pay attention to the screen, as this is one of the moments that best defines Optimus' character in the entire film or brand to an extent as a whole…"

Everyone turned their heads to the screen, still feeling downright awful as Ironhide had a point, why on earth would Optimus Prime, or heck, the rest of the Autobots fight for the sake of the Earth and all who live upon it, when humans were just a bunch of greedy, murderous thieves as a stain on the globe…

"Were we so different?" Optimus replied as he turned to face his weapons specialist, his voice holding a bit of regret, "They're a young species with much to learn. Their recorded history is proof of their mistakes, but I have seen goodness in them, a capacity to change for the better if given the chance…"

Everyone's eyes widened in wonder and awe as Optimus' "speech" showed tourists looking down at Hoover Dam's wall, showing the canyon further downriver. Their silence was reverent as they took in the Autobot leader's words…

"…they didn't ask for the war we brought upon their peaceful planet. I've seen in them, a hopeful future of peace and understanding, when all are one in understanding. They can change, they have already made the first proper steps in their same history…" Optimus continued to say, especially as it showed Spike and Mikaela getting out of the government vans and guided by the agents.

Rosa spoke up again, a tear or two forming in her eyes, "If there's one line that sums up and defines Optimus' character and personality, it would be one that was on his original character biography from the franchise's inception, a line Optimus himself never actually said until this movie came out. The filmmakers put out a contest called 'Make Prime Speak', where fans could decide for one line, what Optimus would say in the final cut of the film. They could've chosen anything, from something an action movie star would say like 'Adios Muchacho', to something ridiculous and silly like 'Truk not Munky'. But fans voted, and decided if Optimus was to say anything they want, it was his original quote from that aforementioned biography…"

Itsuka and Momo asked at the same time, "What is Optimus Prime's original quote…?"

Rosa didn't give any verbal answer, she just gestured to the screen as Optimus Prime said eight words that got to everyone, especially those that held Captain America in high regard…

1:34:35-1:34:39

"…Freedom is the right of all sentient beings…"

Izanami said with a smile, while still speaking in a tone that showed how much respect the deity had for Optimus, "Like Rosa said, if there is any one line that defines who Optimus Prime is, it is this one right here."

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings…" All Might uttered quietly to himself, letting the words sink in.

Izuku uttered the same words as All Might quietly, and he felt the power and conviction in his words, it bore deep into his heart, as he knew exactly what Optimus meant by those words, and he began to tear up, wishing he could meet Optimus himself. Heck, Izuku wished Optimus existed in his world, he could just tell how much better society back home would be if Optimus influenced how everyone treated each other due to his example.

The villains were particularly affected by Optimus Prime's words and started shedding tears, they could just tell that if Optimus existed in their world, some of them might not even be villains in the first place. They could tell he wouldn't treat them any differently than he would treat other people, he wouldn't treat them like villains that needed to be stopped (maybe he still would, given their actions, they still knew that), he would certainly give them a chance to change for the better, and maybe even help them do so if they asked.

"He is a true hero…like Captain America…" Spinner whispered to himself.

"Freedom…is…right…my right…" Toga whispered to herself in a disjointed manner, still taking in the words the commander spoke being why she sounded…odd, to say the least.

Izanami spoke up, "I feel the need to clarify the intent and meaning behind Optimus Prime's words, so I will explain. What Optimus meant when he says this is the freedom to choose how you live, and even live on itself to make choices, aka free will. It is a right that absolutely NO ONE, not even God with a capital 'G' has any right to take away from you. The Freedom of Choice is your sacred right, and choosing who you want to be is something no one but yourself can decide. The choice to, say, be a hero, or become a doctor, an astronaut, an accountant, or even the Prime Minister of Japan, if you pursue those goals without harming others, that is not anyone else's right to tell you that you can't. The freedom of choice is a responsibility, and the choices you make have good and bad consequences. It could be best summarized as a more inclusive upgrade of the phrase 'all men are created equal' from the Declaration of Independence…"

Nezu spoke up to his fellow pro-heroes and his students, "I feel that what both Optimus and Izanami have said is an important lesson to keep in your hearts. As she said, the element of choice is yours and yours alone, and any consequences, good or bad or both, are on you. It is your choice if you bullied others, it's your choice to step in when you shouldn't, your choice to help others in need. Make sure that all the choices you make or have made were the right ones."

Izuku's dam broke as he whimpered and sniffled, crying quietly as Ochako noticed and, teary-eyed herself, hugged Izuku in an attempt to comfort him. Eri, Mei, and Mirio joined Uraraka in soothing the weeping boy. Izuku wept, because he could picture in his mind with perfect clarity, what Optimus would say to him if he asked the same question he asked All Might before he entered U-A, on that fateful day…

{—}

"Could I still be a hero? Even without a quirk…?"

Optimus Prime turned to face the middle-school student, who looked down to the floor of the roof, and started to mutter to himself as he continued to unnecessarily explain himself.

The Autobot leader replied to Izuku's question, interrupting the boy with his booming yet gentle voice, "Young man, that is for you to decide…not me, or anyone else. All I can say to you boy, is that it will be difficult, times when you will falter, and question if you made the correct decision."

Optimus soon knelt down to Izuku, who looked up to him with curiosity, "But, your choice to be a hero even without a quirk is yours alone to decide. What you should be asking yourself is this…"

Optimus placed a hand on Izuku's shoulder and looked at him dead in the eye, and finished his answer with a question of his own…

"Do you have the conviction to make your dream a reality…?"

{—}

1:34:39-1:35:06

'I do have it…' Izuku replied to Optimus in his imagination, and he felt further affirmation of his choice from who he is certain are the vestiges of past One For All wielders.

He was unaware that All Might did the same thing he did, imagining Optimus Prime responding to his desire to be a hero, imagining the Autobot leader in Nana Shimura's place. He patted Melissa's back as she wept into her father's shoulder, feeling the same emotions Izuku had.

Bakugo felt absolutely horrible about himself, hearing Optimus' words and what Izanami said was its meaning, he felt like a villain for all the poor choices he made before coming to U-A. He, for once, felt like he didn't belong at the school, all the bullying he directed onto Izuku, he felt unworthy of his goal.

He then heard a voice not his own speak to him in his mind, ~"You have made some poor choices before, yes. But, as Optimus said, Katsuki Bakugo, humans have the capacity to change for the better. You still can change, never think it is too late for you. You should ask yourself; Will you change for the better, and do what is right?"~

Bakugo kept his response to himself, but he didn't hear a reply to his answer from the voice, he never heard that voice before, but he can't help but feel he should know who it belonged to. If he does change…well, it is best to let him keep this to himself for now…

All For One was calm on the outside, but was seething with frustration and anger on the inside. He knew that Optimus Prime was more of a personal nemesis to him than anyone else, All Might, Izuku Midoriya, his damn brother's quirk, more than any of them. He could tell immediately how Optimus' character affected his successor and his other pawns, he could feel Kurogiri's dormant personality, Oboro Shirakumo, begin to stir awake. He could tell that Tomura and the rest of the league were beginning to reconsider being villains. He underestimated the effect Optimus had on everyone, even himself. Now, Optimus Prime, was his Tony Stark. He never wished for someone to die so badly, he wanted the Autobot to die more than All Might, the Symbol of Fear hated the Last Prime to his core.

'I cannot wait for this f*cking hero to die!' the long-lived man snarled and grinned menacingly at Optimus Prime, feeling for the leader exactly what his new body felt towards Iron Man.

Izanami looked at the man with a slightly surprised expression, as she thought, 'Oh boy, I underestimated how Shigaraki senior would feel towards Optimus Prime. He views Optimus as a personal nemesis, more than the quirk he accidentally created and all those who bore it. Well, he will get what he wants considering it's Optimus, but it probably will not be as satisfying for him as he thinks…'

Rosa spoke up, trying to keep herself calm and not cry, "Sean once stated that Optimus Prime's voice actor based his performance as an impression of his big brother, but he also said that Optimus was also based on a real person from American history. Well, Optimus Prime's personality was modeled after a U.S. President, one of the most famous and beloved in history, a writer named Danny O'Neil made sure of that when he and Jim Shooter created and named Optimus Prime for Hasbro. A president, as Izanami had shared with me, whose contributions in life are still felt in the present-day of your world, centuries after his passing…"

Pony, Momo, Itsuka, Melissa, David, Spinner, and All Might all asked in unison, "Who was Optimus Prime modeled after?"

Izanagi answered, while his tone was still very plain, some of those with sharper senses could actually hear in his voice, a faint hint of heartfelt respect as he gave them the name…

"Abraham Lincoln…"

Everyone was silent as the name clicked, Izanami continued, "Optimus was created within the worlds where he is a fictional character, during the final years of the Cold War, where patriotism was at an all-time high in America. He could've had a personality like those of every other childhood icon of the day, but his creators at Hasbro and Marvel Comics, Danny O'Neil, Jim Shooter, Bob Budiansky, and the rest felt he needed to stand out from the rest of the patriotic crowd. So, the 16th president was used to best describe him, a freedom fighter who confronts tyranny and those who would enslave others. The rest is history, as Optimus had a bigger impact on pop culture in many realities since."

Izuku heard the name "Marvel Comics" and filed that away in his mind to follow up on later, wondering if that had any connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"Abraham Lincoln…what a guy to be modeled after…" David remarked in a reflective tone.

Toshinori Yagi joined his former sidekick, "The President who ended slavery in America once and for all, and united a country divided in two over a civil war. I agree, it is hard to deny that Mr. Lincoln's tenure as President of the United States of America produced many positive results, and his contributions have had a long-reaching effect even in the present back home."

Izanagi stated plainly, "His effect when alive had a lasting effect on how society as a whole was shaped in your world centuries after he died. Without Lincoln's effect on America, frankly, many of you here in this room would not exist as a result of the domino effect he had in the flow of time…"

That really sunk into everyone, and it made perfect sense that Abraham Lincoln served as a basis for Optimus Prime.

Their attention returned to the screen once Optimus continued his response to Ironhide the music still gripping their hearts at how reflective it was for them…

"…You know as do I that there is only one choice to end this war, and save the humans from their extinction…" Optimus said, briefly pausing as if he was gathering his resolve to say what needs to be said, and he said it, "We must destroy the Allspark…"

"WHAAAAAT!?" Mei, Melissa, Fuyumi, Natsuo, Izuku, Bakugo, Ochako, Momo, Ida, Mineta, Mina, Toru, Kirishima, Kyoka, Kaminari, Itsuka, Setsuna, Pony, Tetsutetsu, Kinoko, Monoma, Spinner, Twice, and Toga all exclaimed in unison, surprise etched on their faces.

"But…! B-but what about their home!?" Pony whimpered as she couldn't understand why they would destroy their only hope to restore Cybertron.

"What about the Transformers who haven't seen what Cybertron was like before their war, like Bumblebee?" Mei exclaimed, unable to understand the logic.

"They can't just destroy the cube thing!/It's their only shot to restore Cybertron!/They have no choice in the matter!" Twice, with his multiple personalities getting into arguments with himself.

Toga, feeling particularly empathetic after the explanation of Optimus' character, whined out, "What about all the Transformers yet to be born?! What about the life on Cybertron itself?!"

"As much as I want to agree with you children," Aizawa spoke, his voice showing his resolve breaking just a minuscule bit, "They have no choice, Megatron will abuse its power to conquer the universe, untold trillions of inhabited planets out there at his mercy if he does to them what he will do on Earth. It's that, or never having Cybertron restored, and Optimus made it clear what the best choice is, you can even tell how hard he thought about it…"

Nezu explained after setting his cup and tea plate down on his seat's tray, "Your children will often come across situations where doing the right thing isn't easy, and could come at a great personal cost. It's tempting to do what is easy, but it takes great strength to do the right thing, even if it ends up with you being vilified for it, as Batman demonstrated earlier with Harvey Dent and the Joker in The Dark Knight."

Optimus explained further their mission, as he placed a hand over where his heart would be, "If all else fails to destroy the Cube, I will unite it with my Spark to destroy it…"

"Spark?" Mei asked curiously, to which Rosa replied, "A Spark is the heart of a Transformer, figuratively and literally. The spark houses the soul, or spirit if you will, of a Transformer, and also is a part of their anatomy in that it allows Energon to flow through their veins, like an actual heart. It's this simple, little thing that makes a Transformer a living being, instead of a machine, it may sound more like a piece of technology, but the Spark is more, mystical. Ancient. The spark is what makes a Transformer, a Transformer, and if the spark goes out, the Transformer dies…"

Everyone gasped in shock hearing this, even more so with what Optimus intends to do if all else fails to destroy the Allspark.

"But…but…i-if that's the case…then that means–…!" Mina stuttered, clutching to Kirishima's shirt as the film itself finished her thoughts…

1:35:06-1:35:14

"That's suicide, Optimus. The Cube is a container of the Allspark's raw power. If you do that, it will destroy you both assuredly…" Ratchet said, clutching his fist to emphasize the 'power' aspect of the Allspark.

"No! He can't do that! The world needs someone like Optimus Prime…" Ida shouted, extreme worry plastered all over his face.

"I agree with the false hero! Optimus cannot die!" Spinner exclaimed, not happy to hear this.

All For One smirked as he thought, 'Oh I hope this comes to pass, I will get that pile of scrap metal disposed of, while he gets a heroic sacrifice that will placate all his sycophant supporters…by all means, Optimus Prime, do the right thing and dispose of the Allspark, so I can no longer see your self-righteous face again…'

Izanami thought as she looked at AFO with a disappointed glare, 'Oh wow, how much of an utter scumbag do you have to be to think that…?'

All For One snarled bitterly as he was certain he was just insulted, but held his tongue to not incur their host's wrath again. He rubbed the wrist she crushed on a reflex, remembering the sharp, intense pain.

"Welp, so long lakes of Energon…but, in all seriousness, are you certain it is necessary that you do it Optimus? When it comes down to it?" Sideswipe asked after making a joke, one look could tell you he really didn't want Optimus to perish just to destroy the Allspark.

Optimus responded to his medic and field combatant, "It is a necessary sacrifice I am more than willing to make, to bring peace to this planet, and all the free worlds I've sworn to protect in the universe. We cannot let the humans and any other innocent lives pay for our mistakes…"

Optimus looked down with regret as he finished, "…for my mistakes…"

Momo immediately caught what Optimus Prime said as well as most of the audience, and wondered aloud, "His mistakes? What does Optimus Prime mean by, 'his mistakes'?"

"As far as I'm aware, Optimus made no such mistakes! He has done nothing wrong!" Spinner shouted, finding it hard to believe Optimus would say he made mistakes.

"Answer me this then…how do you think the Allspark ended up on Earth in the first place if it was on Cybertron?" Sean asked, which at first confused everyone, but then like a wave, it clicked in their minds.

"You don't mean…" Mandalay asked, to which Izanagi answered, "Optimus Prime himself was the one who sent the Allspark off-world on Cybertron to keep it out of Megatron's hands, specifically, he had the Allspark jettisoned to a wormhole near the solar system Cybertron is a part of, that could blindly warp the artifact adrift anywhere in the universe. It was to keep it out of Megatron's clutches, but also was the one who by doing the act, condemned Cybertron to be a barren, lifeless graveyard. Because if the Allspark is removed from Cybertron, Cybertron dies, as their legends tell…"

Everyone gasped at hearing this, the Allspark being removed is what resulted in Cybertron being "consumed by death" as the leader said in the beginning.

All For One had a satisfied, sick smile on his face as this was revealed, Optimus wasn't an infallible hero, a blow to his almost god-like image.

Rosa added, "Optimus would even confirm for himself that he has made many mistakes, he's not perfect, would say so himself. He has led troops to their deaths, failed to rescue many in need, the Allspark thing as previously stated, and even to a degree, letting the war go on for centuries or millennia as it has, because he refuses to bend the knee to the Decepticons. Not killing Megatron the many chances he had to end it, because he is willing to give others the chance to be better or to make the right choice. He would even deny that he is a hero, saying his actions are far from heroic enough to be seen as such, despite many saying he is wrong."

Izanami clarified amidst the shocked expressions of 99% of the audience, "Optimus Prime is humble and modest to a fault, as he views others above himself. He values choice more than anything, so if humans tell the Autobots to leave Earth peacefully, he would as it would be their choice to make, and he would honor it. But, like Captain America, when he sees something is wrong, he will not ignore it…"

Everyone looked back at the Autobot leader with eyes wide and mouths agape as they thought in unison, he was a great example for others to follow.

Natsuo whispered to himself, "I wish dad was here, he should listen to this, and also so I could apologize for being such an a*s with him. Optimus is a wonderful example of a person to be like…"

Shoto heard his brother and had to agree with him, maybe Enji Todoroki, Endeavor, would feel motivated to change for the better even more than it seemed like he already has. He wished his mother was here as well, thinking that his kind mother would find solace in Optimus Prime.

While Captain America was still Izuku's second-favorite hero, Optimus Prime was held in equal regard as the Super Soldier. He could only imagine how society would be if both of these two were in his world, how big an influence the two would have on him, and All Might.

Optimus Prime blinked for a moment in silence, his face showing the resolve of someone who has made peace with his choice, then turned to face his troops as he said, "If it comes to it, I just want to say that it has been an honor serving with you all…"

The other nine Autobots nodded in agreement as their leader lead the way to the Allspark, to Hoover Dam, as he gave the order to his team…

"Autobots, transform and roll out!"

"Eee! He said it, and it wasn't shortened!" Rosa cheered softly, earning confused stares from everyone as Jazz added in the film "We rolling!" as the Autobots jogged, then transformed into their vehicle modes driving away hearing the other iconic sound Izanami pointed out for them to listen for.

"Sorry…my inner fangirl squeaked out…" Rosa apologized, looking quite embarrassed.

Sean said to the onlookers, "Aside from the freedom quote and another one he'll say later in the movie, 'Autobots, transform and roll out' is one of Optimus Prime's most iconic quotes. In our version, he left out the 'transform and' part of the quote."

"I'll say, it fits him so well…" Midnight purred, feeling the innate noble heart (or spark) in the commander, "…I can imagine him saying it in other instances and I like what I hear…"

1:35:14-1:36:22

Everyone reeled when they saw Frenzy climb out of Mikaela's bag when she wasn't looking, and slid down the walls of Hoover Dam.

"What! How is Frenzy–…oh, right…he disguised himself as Mikaela's phone…" Sero said, first in surprise, then in an "oh, of course" tone.

"Man, he is a slippery son of a gun. This is like, what, the third time we forgot that cockroach?" Setsuna replied.

"But now he's running around, likely Sector Seven's base, without anyone the wiser…" Hawks growled out, if the number two pro hero was in charge of Sector Seven's security, he wouldn't let a mouse slip past if he could help it. He'd have the headquarters locked up tighter than Fort Knox or Tartarus…

The scene soon changed to Lennox and his special ops saluting to Secretary Keller as he walked down, likely the front door to Sector Seven's base. Keller tells them at ease, then says that they got the intel they provided about the sabot rounds being effective weapons on the Decepticons.

"That is a huge relief. Now the next time the Decepticons attack, they will be ready for them." Ragdoll sighed with relief, only for Ectoplasm to reply, "But it won't do them any good until they get world communications back up to coordinate counter-attacks, as Secretary Keller said."

Everyone soon saw Agent (since revealed Director) Simmons again and with the prior scene of him threatening Mikaela's father, and hurting Bumblebee when he isn't fighting back, suffice to say there was a lot of negativity directed at the man.

Sean grimaced as he soon said, "Okay everyone, chill out. I know that you have every right to be angry at Simmons, and I wholeheartedly agree with you. But, bear in mind that, granted, while yes he is a little crazy and obsessed, but he was just doing his job, he doesn't have the same information that Spike and Mikaela have regarding the Autobots. This is more or less a consequence of not communicating properly with others, so take this as a lesson so you don't pull a similar stunt as Simmons if you find yourselves in a similar situation…"

Everyone (save a few) who was angry with Simmons for his earlier actions eased up in their anger. They of course were still angry with Simmons for his treatment of Bumblebee, but they weren't advertising their anger so visibly anymore.

What Simmons soon said as Spike and Mikaela walked up to him, everyone couldn't help but chuckle wryly at what he said.

"You think?! More like you definitely got off to a REALLY bad start, you crazy loony!" Mei growled out in an exaggerated and sarcastic tone, making it obvious that the agent was still on her bad side.

"I agree…" Melissa added, huffing in frustration as she glared daggers at Seymour Simmons.

"Even if he was just doing his job, he didn't have to be such a jerk to Bumblebee, or Spike and Mikaela…" Tsuyu croaked out bitterly, something about Bumblebee triggered the part of her that makes her like a big sister, something about Bumblebee's "little brother vibe" as Mina pointed out earlier made the frog girl extra protective towards the yellow Autobot.

"At least Simmons is trying to ease whatever tension Spike has with him. Food does tend to calm some people down after any heated conflicts of interest…" Lunch Rush spoke, himself very familiar with what the director was trying to do.

With Simmons offering examples of food or drinks to offer the teenager to ask for, Spike's response was very obvious.

"Yep! Somehow, I knew he would ask about Bumblebee…" Tsukauchi dryly commented teenagers were always a headache to speak to in professional situations.

Tom Banachek soon diffused the situation before punches were thrown, with Aizawa remarking, "Agent Banachek has a point, at the current climate unintentionally created by the Decepticons and the closing window of time to locate the Allspark before they do, people can really die here if they don't redirect their focus on their true enemies. They know quite a bit about the Transformers, likely from Megatron, now Spike needs to tell them everything he knows about them as Optimus told them."

"Hopefully with the information he provides, Sector Seven will team up with the Autobots to keep the Allspark out of the Decepticons' hands, maybe even free Bumblebee from captivity…" Midnight added, hopeful that these good guys will stop being at each other's throats.

Soon after, Spike agrees, but not before billing Sector Seven for the information he knows. First by saying as payment, he will take Bumblebee, his parents, then saying that Mikaela's juvenile record has got to be gone for good.

"Well Spike certainly won some points in Mikaela's favor with that…" Mina said, as Mikaela thanked Spike.

Hearing Simmons remark that Spike is an extortionist after Banachek explained they will talk about Bumblebee later, it made everyone chuckle.

"Oh, the things I would ask for if I held information that important…" Mineta muttered under his breath. Kyoka shuddered as she heard the kinds of things he would ask Sector Seven for if he was in Spike's place, disturbed by his would-be demands, and how vulgar they were.

1:36:22-1:37:05

Simmons soon led the group into the base as he explained the situation, stating in a matter-of-fact kind of way that everyone has had direct contact with the Transformers, calling them…

"N.B.E.s?" Hagakure and Ashido asked in unison.

"Ah! Non-Biological Extraterrestrials, clever acronym…" Midnight said with a smile on her face.

The scene soon quickly cut inside Hoover Dam with Tom Banachek explaining that what the group was about to see, is totally classified. And to everyone's shock and horror, they saw in a similar pose in the flashback earlier in the film, the frozen form of Megatron, towering in the large room.

Hearing Secretary Keller ask the agents "Dear God. What is this?" prompted David to remark, "It is the tyrannical leader of an entire faction of evil alien robots from another planet, frozen in cryostasis and being studied. Frankly, if it is anything else than that, then I am a baboon's hairy and stupid, knuckle-dragging uncle…"

What David said earned a few chuckles from everyone, especially All Might and his daughter, Melissa.

The music was the droning, ominous theme of the Decepticons, and even frozen, Megatron gave such an ominous aura that made everyone on edge.

Hearing Tom explain Sector Seven's theory on how Megatron first ended up frozen in the Arctic, made most of the intelligent and analytical viewers wonder.

"Hmm…that sounds accurate from what I understand with physics…" Nezu remarked as he rubbed his furry chin, "…anything from air pressure, wind currents, gravitational pull, and many other aspects that seem minor separately, could create the perfect storm of Murphy's Law where even the most forward situations get complicated quickly."

"It also has to have been affected by telemetry, the angle of descent, the speed of reentry, just so many possibilites…" Melissa thought aloud, trying to figure out how Megatron entered the Earth's atmosphere to result in him being frozen for a few thousand years.

"I wonder how exactly they shipped Megatron here in Sector Seven in the 1930s, as the cryo-tools they would have during that time would make Megatron have plenty of escape possibilities." David wondered.

Izanagi answered the I-Island scientist, "He did come close, but generally it takes some time for a Transformer to awake from stasis lock after being in the state for thousands of years. Megatron is fully conscious right now, but he is unable to do anything with these sub-zero temperatures keeping him in an icy tomb…"

Everyone felt their blood run as cold as the theater room's environmental upgrades were making them feel. Megatron, while still in a cold prison, was fully conscious of everything happening in the room.

"I hope he remains frozen so the Earth doesn't feel the wrath of this warmonger…" All Might hoped, Megatron was giving the retired pro-hero similar vibes to AFO.

"N.B.E. One? Oh boy, we only know about Megatron just now, and something is telling me he will hate that name Sector Seven gave him…" Jurota replied to what Simmons said they called Megatron.

"A pretty accurate guess, Jurota…" Sean said, and Izanami added with a smirk, "Let's see if you are right…"

1:37:05-1:38:02

Hearing Spike and Simmons slightly argue on the Decepticon leader's name, prompted everyone to side with Spike.

"The boy's right! That is Megatron, not N.B.E. One, get your naming priorities right!" Mei said, not exactly eager to see Megatron bring havoc and destruction.

"Doesn't matter what you call the b*s*a*d! Just kill him right now while you extras have the chance!" Bakugo growled, as much as he wanted to see if Megatron lived up to the hype, he knows this wasn't the time to fall into the 'who would win' argument.

Ida sighed as he said, "As much as I want to agree with you Bakugo, they cannot. Megatron is defenseless and cannot defend himself, it is morally unethical."

With Tom Banachek letting Spike know that Archibald Witwicky made one of the greatest discoveries of all time, some felt nervous about that rather dubious claim.

"Honestly, I wouldn't be very proud if I discovered an alien robot who turned out to be the leader of an entire army of evil alien robots, regardless of how such a discovery shaped humanity's understanding of the universe…" Melissa commented nervously, not keen on such a claim and what the discovery is.

Mei was completely silent and straight-faced, she was using her quirk to analyze every crevice on Megatron, determining his weakness. Izuku did the same as he started a rough sketch of Megatron on his dedicated page.

Everyone then heard something that shocked them all to their core from Simmons, following Banachek name-dropping Spike's great-great-grandfather.

"Megatron…was the source of the modern age of technology?" Izuku asked in disbelief, but then, he remembered what the Autobots have said earlier regarding how much of Earth's machines seemed to have Megatron's imprint on them.

"Oh my god! This is how he plans to use the Allspark to transform Earth's machines into a universe-conquering army, he used humanity's own inquisitiveness and curiosity against them…" Nezu thought, his mind now working overtime trying to find a plan that would thwart the Decepticon tyrant's plans.

Sean replied to Nezu, "You are giving him more credit than he actually earned. Granted, he arrived at a similar conclusion you arrived at over time, but Megatron is not that strategically brilliant. He definitely gives that impression, and he is smart, but he's not that smart…"

Everyone still felt really tense hearing Megatron wasn't just brutal as a fighter, he was also cunning. He has barely made any appearance so far, but he already felt like the main villain of this movie, his hand playing on humans like puppets on strings.

Once Keller commented to the agents over the fact they didn't think the US Military might've needed to know they kept a hostile alien robot under the Hoover Dam, everyone agreed with Keller in that the military should've known about Megatron. Hearing Banachek respond that until recently, there was no credible threat to national security, made everyone groan over the obvious government response.

"AKA, we thought we had it under control until we didn't and we were caught with our pants down…" Hawks jabbed, he heard this kind of excuse before, and while partially true, it seemed Sector Seven screwed up big time.

"They definitely got a credible threat to national security now. The Decepticons that follow the Mr. N.B.E. One b-turd frozen in their basement have all but declared war on the United States…" Makoto slowly clapped exaggeratedly, applauding Sector Seven's stupidity until now.

When Lennox asked why were the Decepticons on Earth all the students exclaimed in unison at the same time as Spike in the movie, word for word,

"It's the Allspark."

When Keller asked what was this Allspark, Spike soon began explaining what it was and why Megatron and the Decepticons were after it.

"Honestly, given that Megatron started a war that ended with the annihilation of Cybertron's ability to support life, and the countless deaths caused by his insane war, calling him the harbinger of death seems more than appropriate…" Hitoshi Shinso commented, with everyone agreeing, even All For One out of a jealous respect for the Decepticon Leader.

1:38:02-1:39:00

-[Play "The Allspark" - Transformers Complete Film Score]-

Hearing the music take on a different tone than the droning foreboding that many started calling the "Decepticon's theme", they noticed the music change as Spike explained Megatron's plan with the Allspark and Earth's machines to take over the universe.

When Agent Banachek inquired if Spike was sure about what he said, and Spike replied he did, they saw the gears click in his mind, as he questioned Simmons and Banachek that they know where the Allspark is.

"Ah, so they do know about the Cube, that contains the MacGuffin that creates entire worlds and creates life…" Snipe remarked as the two agents gathered the group and told them to follow them, likely to the Allspark itself…

When the audience heard the agents say the group was about to see Sector Seven's crown jewel, everyone braced themselves to see the Allspark again, having not seen it since the beginning of the film.

Ibara Shiozaki noted the music playing in the background and commented about it, "This music, it sounds so, reverent, like it's meant to evoke God when you hear it…"

Kyoka noted the music as well, and said, "I know what you mean…it is clearly meant to conjure images in your mind of something, sacred, holy even…"

"In a way, that is what the thing tied to this theme is meant to be, just that…" Sean replied, the silence made everyone conclude that this theme is likely The Allspark's theme.

Seeing the characters gather by the window to see what was on the other side, made everyone wonder what it is they were seeing. They didn't have to wait as the camera showed exactly what they were seeing, the Allspark itself. There were platforms, stairs, and equipment strewn across its massive frame, everyone saw large cranes beside the Allspark, showing everyone its true scale.

"Holy sh*t!" Present Mic exclaimed as his glasses fell off onto his lap, "You weren't kidding earlier when you said this Cube was massive enough to build a cottage on…"

"Cottage seems like a generous term…" Midnight exclaimed, gawking at the MacGuffin, "The Allspark looks to be bigger than the freaking U-A main building! A city block with the tall buildings no less!"

Momo had her mouth hung open as she said, "If the Autobots are going to destroy the Allspark, and it is that big, how on Earth are they going to accomplish that!?"

"Hey Yamada," Izanami called out to Present Mic, "You going to read that card anytime soon?"

Present Mic turned around with confusion as he asked, "What card?"

Izanagi answered for his sister with a question, "Have you noticed a card glowing in your sights?"

"What glowing card?" Aizawa asked curiously, he saw the cards his co-worker had, and none of them were glowing.

"Oh, that card!" The English teacher exclaimed, "I noticed it a moment ago and wondered what was up with that…"

Izanagi replied, "My sister wants you to read it now, she's giving you the prompt…"

Present Mic replied "okay, okay" and read the card, but he hesitated only for a moment when he saw what was written on it, "The Allspark, no one knows where it came from, and the origins surrounding it change depending on who you ask. Some say it is a conduit of the Transformers' own God of Creation, others say it came from another universe entirely. A few even say it houses the true knowledge of the universe, unrivaled by any computer, or that it was one of the many names for the afterlife. There are so many legends surrounding the artifact and its container, it's hard to separate fact from fiction. But the common thread that connects all these tales of the Allspark, is that whatever it is, it represents power in its purest form…"

"Wow! Is any of that true?" Ojiro asked, frankly surprised to hear this about the Allspark, and his surprise is shared by everyone else.

"The Allspark is a conduit of the power of their own god? If they say that, then it must be a sacred relic for the Transformers if it came from their god…comparable to the Ark of the Covenant or the Holy Grail if we ever find those artifacts…" Ibara wondered, as the somewhat "religious vibe" the object itself and the music had, started to make perfect sense to the vine-haired girl.

"Well, I will provide the answer later on, but for now, that's up to all of you to decide…" Izanami teased, to the dismay and disappointment of everyone else.

Izuku realized this was what Rosa meant by getting a better look at the Allspark earlier, and began sketching it as much as he can. But, he still jotted down notes whenever he heard pieces of new information (especially what Present Mic read out on some glowing card only he could see), as Tom Banachek explained the Allspark…

"Carbon-dating puts the Cube around here at 10,000 BC…" Tom said as seven portraits on a wall were focused on as he continued, "The First Seven didn't find it until 1913 under the Colorado river, sixteen years after N.B.E. One. They knew it was alien, because of the matching hieroglyphs on the Cube and on N.B.E. One. So President Hoover had the dam built around it, four football fields thick of concrete to hide its energy signature from anyone…or any alien species from detecting it from the outside…"

Ectoplasm remarked with a whistle in amazement, "*Whistle*! Four football fields thick of concrete and steel…That is a lot of mass."

Momo noted the date, "The Allspark has been here since the last Ice Age? Right at the beginning of the Holocene epoch? How has it not been found until 1913 by now?"

Izanami wanted her brother to give the answer, but Rosa gave her a pleading look that the deity giggled at. She wordlessly gave her the go-ahead as the married woman answered the Yaoyorozu heiress.

Rosa cleared her throat and spoke, "The Allspark was buried underneath the Colorado River and was discovered by the founding members of Sector Seven, the eponymous 'First Seven' under the riverbed. It prompted one of their members to contact Herbert and Lou Hoover, metallurgists, to study it and determine its composition. Divers into the river studying the Allspark accidentally triggered the systems on the Cube that made it, for a lack of a better term, 'scream' across time and space. This 'scream' is what eventually led the Autobots and Decepticons to learn that the Allspark was located on Earth. The 'discovery' that Optimus mentioned in the beginning narration, that was it…"

Izanagi added for further clarification, "The Allspark when it made landfall on Earth, it hit the surface in such a specific manner that almost immediately after, it was buried by layers of earth and soil. It was buried so quickly and suddenly to a point where you wouldn't be able to tell there was an impact in the first place with the naked eye…"

Izuku put down this information about the Allspark on its dedicated page, he wondered about that "scream" as Rosa called it, that allowed the Transformers to know where the Allspark ended up. He felt that was a detail worth noting.

1:39:00-1:39:20

Almost immediately after Banachek said that regarding hiding the Allspark's energy signature, everyone felt the blood leave their faces as it showed Frenzy, at the Sector Seven base, looking up at the Allspark itself.

"Fat good all that concrete will do now…" Monoma sighed out with worry, he and several others know what is going to follow.

But everyone's faces changed from being pale with dread that a Decepticon was freely roaming around the base undetected, to being pale with panic as they saw something unbelievable happen when it showed the Allspark from behind the Mini-Con…

"Did…did I imagine what I just saw?!" Melissa gawked as her complexion got so pale her face turned blue (like anime, duh), and she wasn't the only one just as pale.

"The Allspark, it CREATED an entirely new body out of nothing for Frenzy's severed head…like he never lost it…!" Mei responded absentmindedly to Melissa's question, herself both worried and excited at seeing a sliver of the Allspark's power first-hand (but her face leaned more to the worried side as further indicated by her expression…)

Momo was pale and steam rose from her head as she tried to rationalize what she just witnessed, "B-b-but…that's impossible…! It cannot be able to cr-create something out of nothing…! That goes against ALL laws of conversion and physics!"

All For One laughed as he began to wonder if the Allspark could really create matter out of nothing, then what else could it do?

"The power to create entire worlds, and fill them with life…it seems that it is less of an exaggeration than any of us thought…" The Symbol of Evil grinned, his mind set on trying to see if this very artifact existed in his world, and claim it for himself.

Izuku dropped his pencil onto the floor at what he just witnessed, it was only a tiny preview of what the Allspark could do, and it terrified him. He knew immediately what Momo Yaoyarozu meant by her response, and with All For One directly saying it, he felt immense worry when he recalled what Megatron plans to do if he got his hands on the artifact. Izuku felt his heart stop beating when he remembered, Megatron was just a quick walk from the very thing he is after, the only thing keeping him was the fact it was in another room, and the Decepticon tyrant was in cryostasis…

"If…if the Allspark could do that…" Izuku wondered aloud, completely ignoring the fact Ochako grabbed his hand with worry, "H-how are Optimus Prime and the Autobots going to destroy it…?"

Everyone immediately realized the ramifications of this, then remembered the beginning of the film, if this thing was just as massive as it is shown here, then it survived reentry from the Earth's atmosphere, and crashed into the surface of the Earth with the force of a meteorite. It was in one piece as well, not a scratch on its surface, which meant that the Cube containing this sought-after power was incredibly durable.

"If it could survive impacting the Earth like a meteorite without so much as a scratch, I have serious doubts it can be destroyed at all in the first place…" Kurogiri said, himself a little worried on how the Autobots will set out to complete their mission.

"I think it's fair to say none of us possess the necessary power to destroy the Allspark itself…" Ida thought aloud, everyone agreeing with him, even Bakugo begrudgingly had to admit he would have a hard-as-f*ck time trying to destroy the Allspark himself.

"You want to know how tough the Cube is? Well, put it this way, neither All Might in his physical prime, and throwing every ounce of power he can muster into a punch, nor Stars n' Stripes' quirk could even leave a dent or scratch on it. Simply put, no weapon or quirk on your world would be capable of destroying the Allspark…" Izanami stated to everyone, like it was another boring fact.

"SERIOUSLY?! IT'S THAT TOUGH?! HOLY F*CKING SH*T!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu exclaimed loudly in disbelief at the same time, as everyone's jaws dropped at the durability of the Allspark. Suddenly, it made perfect sense how it crashed onto Earth without so much as a scratch.

All For One said to himself, "Goodness if it is THAT tough, even I would be powerless to destroy it…"

Izanami giggled as she replied to everyone, "Sure, but it isn't invincible. As it is raw power and energy, it could really only be destroyed by equally powerful energy sources. Or if you take the Laws of Thermodynamics into consideration, maybe disperse the energy into a useless state…"

Everyone relaxed just a little hearing that, but they still had to wonder and worry, how in the hell are the Autobots going to destroy this artifact?

Frenzy in his newly-restored body spoke in his Cybertronian language, likely through comlinks like the Autobots, reporting that the Allspark is located.

"Oh, f*ck! Now the Decepticons know exactly where the Allspark is located!" Hawks cursed, if he was there, Frenzy wouldn't slip past his senses, especially when the number-two pro would know where the Allspark is located and leave feathers surrounding it in case.

Izanami then said to Present Mic, strangely in the form of an apology, "Sooo sorry, Yamada-kun. Your about to do a roll call of the Decepticons like you did the rest of the Autobots…"

Present Mic blanched as he recalled, aside from Zarak (who he thought was odd he didn't have a card), he only read the bios of two of what was revealed to be fourteen Decepticons. Excluding Zarak, he has to read eleven bios for the rest of the Decepticons. Suffice to say, he wasn't looking forward to it, especially if all the Transformers stuff is like this, just a sh*t-ton of characters. He saw Izanami give him an apologetic face as with a snap of her fingers, a large water bottle appeared in front of his face, knowing it was to wet his whistle in between reading the bios of the eleven characters he'll have to read…

He took the bottle and silently thanked his host for it, while Gentle Criminal noted, "Ah, right, you said there were fourteen Decepticons in this film. Looks like we are now going to be introduced to them all…"

"We only know of five Decepticons before now…Blackout, Zarak, Frenzy, Barricade, and Megatron, to an extent…" Izuku thought with dread, "Excluding Frenzy and Barricade, we know very little about the other twelve Decepticons, Megatron being the closest. So there are nine more Decepticons we have not seen yet…"

"Oh-ho-ho-ho…" Rosa quietly chuckled, rubbing her hands in anticipation as she said to herself, "I cannot wait to see who else made the cut in this version of the film, there are seven Decepticons I haven't seen in my memories of this movie back home…"

"I cannot wait to see myself," Sean replied to his wife, rubbing her thigh soothingly, "They must be quite a force for the firepower to equal 28 Cons…"

"I hope they aren't as bad as they are made out to be…" All Might pleaded to himself, only for Shigaraki to grin and reply, "In case you forgot, All Might, our host said the firepower of those 14 Decepticons may as well be double that number as they wreak havoc on whatever gets in their master's way to get the Allspark…"

All Might coughed a little blood as he forgot what his host had said earlier. And soon enough, they meet the first of the nine new faces…

Out in an air force base, there were several empty F-22s parked on the airfield, but soon enough, three of the jets had holographic pilots appear in their seats. The one in the middle and front of the other two then spoke in the Cybertronian language…

"{This is Starscream. Soundwave, sound the call to all units within the vicinity. All Decepticons Mobilize. Thundercracker, Skywarp, you are with me!}" Starscream said as he, Thundercracker, and Skywarp moved to take flight.

"Sheesh! Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp? Those are some metal-as-hell names! And they're the freaking super-stealth fighter jets, the Autobots are already really screwed…!" Mineta exclaimed in a slight panic.

Rosa's eyebrows rose once it was revealed that it wasn't just Starscream, but his original…brothers(?), or something as she figured, "It isn't just Starscream, the original Seeker trio is here in this version. And Soundwave was namedropped on the first one…while he was completely absent in our version. I do have to wonder why do Thundercracker and Skywarp look like dead ringers for Starscream, paint and all? I really hope there's a way to tell the three apart, aww, who am I kidding…Starscream is the easiest character to slap copy-paste-repaint on…"

'Those are metal-as-hell names…' Present Mic said as he soon locates the trio of jet-Transformers' cards and read them, "Meet Starscream, second-in-command of the Decepticons, and Megatron's treacherous lackey. Despite being Cybertron's air commander before the war, Starscream has ambitions that stretched beyond his post, which is why he and most of those in Cybertron's military were swayed by Megatron to the Decepticons. Always seeking to usurp Megatron as leader of the Decepticons, this cowardly, treacherous backstabber is still armed to the teeth with gambling guns, targeting missiles, buzzsaws, grappling cables, and Null-Rays that shut down anything electric, even other Transformers."

"Oh great, the backstabbing lackey, we have to deal with that special brand of thumb-sucking loser…" Bakugo whined, he always hated these minions from all the hero shows he watched as a child. He will admit that almost always, these kinds of villains are the most dangerous and unpredictable kind, but it doesn't mean they aren't annoying as hell.

Izuku nervously muttered as he wrote down in his notebook, "Starscream sounds like a threat as he is armed with all those weapons, his Null-Rays are undeniably the most dangerous weapons in his arsenal, given what they could do…"

Mei was worried of course about this Starscream's weapon being used on the Autobots, however the idea of the Null-Rays was tempting, she kept those thoughts about building one out of her mind, knowing Power Loader will not let her build an obviously problematic invention.

Present Mic soon read the other two jet-robots' biographies, "Skywarp is one of the most deadly assassins Cybertron has ever seen. On top of being as heavily armed as Starscream, Skywarp has one additional deadly weapon under his disposal, the power of teleportation over short distances, making the already fastest-flying Decepticon even more dangerous. While he cares little about everything else besides knowledge, he takes some satisfaction in terrorizing helpless Autobots on the ground. When killing his targets, Skywarp takes immense satisfaction in their suffering."

"This guy is fast, can freaking teleport, AND is a psychopath?! Holy sh*t!" Kaminari cried out in disbelief, Izuku balked as he knew that F-22s were very fast in the air, and hearing that this Skywarp was faster AND had the power of teleportation (even if it was for short distances), he can safely say this was THE deadliest Decepticon in the film. And thus would be the highest priority target as a group of villains.

Nezu asked Aizawa, "Mr. Aizawa, you think if your quirk could work on these Transformers, could you handle someone as tricky as this Skywarp fellow?"

Aizawa replied bluntly, "No, I would have to catch this guy in my line of sight just to keep him from using his speed and his teleportation. And even then, if I was a Transformer in that scenario, I know I would have trouble fighting someone as armed to the teeth as Skywarp."

Present Mic had to agree, Skywarp has easily cemented himself as the deadliest in his faction on the description alone, but he moved on to the last of the three jets, "And last but not least is Thundercracker. He is a 'master of fear' as flying at Mach 6 speeds lets him create sonic booms that could be heard by his victims 200 miles away, and powerful enough to shatter reinforced glass. While a crazy psychotic fighter, Thundercracker has in these more recent times, begun to have doubts about the Decepticon cause, believing they are becoming what they rose against. He's as heavily armed as his lookalikes, but his homing misses pack a bigger punch than Starscream or Skywarp, making this trio of cons seekers of devastation."

"Oh god…" Kyoka winced, "If he could be heard from that far away, his sonic booms must pack a wallop in decibels. I would lose my hearing permanently if I was there."

Izuku made note of this last seeker, particularly the part where it was revealed that Thundercracker was having doubts about the Decepticon cause. This meant that he may actually switch sides if this doubt festers enough in his spark, a villain becoming a hero. But, then he had to wonder about why he had those doubts, the phrase 'becoming what they rose against' carried implications the Decepticons weren't always evil.

Barricade drove down a street in a nearby city, followed by two new cars that had the Decepticon insignia emblazoned on the doors, he responded to Starscream in Cybertronian…

"{Barricade and the Stunticons en route. Ready to crush the opposition…}"

"STUNTICONS?!" Rosa exclaimed in surprise, Kyoke recoiled a bit in pain at the volume the assistant shouted, then asked her, "I take it they are bad news, considering you nearly blew out my eardrums…?"

Rosa replied with a sympathetic cringe, "Sorry, Kyoka. Bad news is one way to put it. All you really need to know is that if the Stunticons are involved, and the colors of those cars are any clue on their identity, then, the final battle coming up is going to be very difficult for the Autobots. And there is going to be a LOT of collateral damage…"

Present Mic let out a sigh as he was thankful this group of three only needed two read, but once he got a look over their biographies, he had to look again to be sure he was reading it right. He soon decided to use his radio know-how to combine the two biographies into a single reading.

"Say hello to the Stunticons; Dead End and Wild Rider. They are part of a team of vicious infantry bots that excel at creating chaos and destruction, their armor coating in vehicle mode and their shields are so freaking tough, that the Stunticons frequently use their own bodies as battering rams. Capable of punching through solid concrete and titanium like they were paper, arguably their most deadly weapon is their recklessness and that they are just plain crazy. Wild Rider is a crazy son of a glitch, who enjoys flattening Autobots and buildings when he recklessly crashes through everything. While poor Dead End is a chronic nihilist, he finds life pointless and shares his misery with everyone else, the only time he even feels anything close to happiness, by making others as miserable as he is."

"Oh my god! These Stunticons sound like every pro-hero's worst nightmare. The collateral damage they could unleash frankly would make them A-tier villains easily." Cementoss remarked with surprise.

"Make that S-tier villains…" Izanami replied, "The Stunticons are so good at what they do, that it would be best put in this way. If they existed in your world, they would bulldoze Tartarus' defenses with absolute ease if given the order to release the prisoners in the maximum-security complex. Nothing in that prison would be capable of stopping them, short of ordering a nuclear strike on the prison itself…"

Everyone paled at that, Wild Rider and Dead End were THAT formidable, and there's the nugget that they were part of an entire team (or unit) of Decepticons like them.

All For One heard the power these two had, and what they are capable of if they existed in his world, to say he wouldn't try to recruit the Stunticons into his fold would be a bald-faced lie. He would immediately put them to work in trashing the security of many prisons across Japan, while he bides his time for his plan to succeed as every hero would scramble and struggle to contain these dynamos. He would especially seek them out as they were part of an entire team, which carried implications for the Stunticons as a whole.

1:39:20-1:39:38

A heavily armored tank drove up to a chain-link fence and crushed it, the tank speaking in the Cybertronian language, "{Brawl, Swindle, & Onslaught reporting. Combaticons at the ready.}"

The tank now known as Brawl was soon followed by a Jeep Wrangler with several artillery cannons and guns attached to it, and a huge anti-aircraft artillery truck drove up beside it.

"It's bad enough the Stunticons are here, but the Combaticons too, this is seriously stacked against the Autobots compared to the version I grew up watching…" Rosa quietly commented, lowering her head in slight stress.

"Brawl…with a name like that, he sounds like a fighter…Swindle sounds very untrustworthy, even for a villain, and Onslaught is a perfect villain name…" Midnight commented as she heard the names.

Present Mic soon began introductions for this group of three, "Brawl, the demolition expert of the Decepticons, and part of the Combaticon unit, commandos known for wreaking carnage in their missions. Brawl's shields and armor plating is so tough and durable, he could shrug off attacks that would be fatal even for other Transformers. He is a violent warrior who takes immense delight in destroying everything in his path loving to cause explosions and relishes in combat, and he is armed to the teeth with numerous weapons to do so…"

"Brawl sounds like an evil version of Kirishima and Tetsutetsu with how tough he's described…" Mina said, both name-dropped boys feeling angered at the tank Decepticon and his toughness.

"Brawl sounds like he would he the hardest to put down…with all that armor plating on top of his regenerative shields…" Izuku muttered to himself, trying to come up with counter-strategies against this formidable foe, and the rest of the Decepticons.

Present Mic agreed with Ashido as he next read the description of the Jeep, "If there's a weapon you want to get your hands on, contacting Swindle, the Decepticons' arms dealer will get you it at extortionate prices. He supplies all the Decepticons with their weapons of mass destruction and carnage, this guy would sell you his mother if he had one. On top of that, thanks to a portable dimension storage unit he has, Swindle is the most heavily armed of all Decepticons, as he has more weapons that can level city blocks that entire platoons of soldiers or entire armies…"

"You're kidding me! A portable dimension storage unit?! I am terrified and SOOOOO jealous of this Swindle b*s*a*d! I want that storage device baby!" Mei whined, she never felt jealous of any Transformer until now.

"That's what you are whining about? Not the fact this guy could level entire cities with all the weapons he's packing?" Setsuna exclaimed dumbfounded by the busty support-course student.

David Shield commented as sweat formed on his brow, "Admittedly, this storage device of Swindle's is an incredible invention he possesses, the applications are almost endless. But, it's also why it should be technology that must be destroyed. It could easily be abused…"

Izuku did not want to think about how much more crime would happen in his world if Swindle existed in it, and as Rosa muttered earlier, the Decepticons are already stacking up in firepower and strength against the Autobots.

Present Mic shuddered as he then read the last Combaticon's description, "Onslaught is one of the Decepticons' foremost military strategists, and the leader of the Combaticon unit. Packing the firepower to decimate Fort Knox, Onslaught's battle strategies leave tens of thousands of his enemies dead. His forte is cornering his enemies into unwinnable situations, crippling their capability for reinforcements, and executing prisoners of war in violent fashions. His strategic mind also enables him to create counter-strategies on the fly, able to turn a brief advantage his enemies have into a crippling weakness…"

"Oh f*ck! They have a freaking military battle strategist on their side?! The Autobots are so f*cked!" Awase had exclaimed, seeing how against the odds the Autobots are.

"Who the f*ck cares! I'll blast this Onslaught loser like all these Decepticon b*s*a*ds! I'll destroy them all!" Bakugo growled out loudly, the Decepticons fueling his fire to prove to them who is superior, especially wanting to prove to Brawl on WHO makes the bigger explosions.

"The Decepticons are looking more formidable as each of their members show up…" All Might said, knowing for certain the Combaticons would give him immense trouble, even in his prime.

At another parking space at another military base, a Buffalo mine-protected vehicle left to converge at Frenzy's coordinates.

"{Sweeper rolling…}" the mine sweeper vehicle spoke.

"Holy cow! Look at the size of that claw!" Sero pointed out, with Ojiro asking, "Do those mine-sweeping trucks have claws that big?"

David was familiar with the class of vehicle, and answered, "No, the claw used to sweep up mines buried underground is nowhere near that big on Buffalos. Considering Swindle, chances are likely this was a modification for battle."

Present Mic let out a huff as he had a few more cards to read, "Sweeper is regarded at the 'Claw of Megatron' because unlike most of his fellow Decepticons, fueled by greed, conquest and the like, Sweeper is fueled by unbridled rage for the Autobots. He violently executes everything he hates, and has an especially strong hatred for the Primes. The blades in his claw are so sharp he could cleave through solid steel like it was butter. He hates everything, Autobot, Decepticon, everything in-between, and even himself. And this makes this guy a dangerous warrior…"

"Wow, he hates everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING?! What crawled up his tailpipe and died?" Setsuna joked, and some of her fellow students laughed a little.

Mirio chuckled with a smile as he said, "Darn, I should've said that…"

Nejire added, "You would suck at it, be honest Togata…" with Mirio chuckling in response.

"Are the Autobots going to lose?" Eri asked in a worried tone, with Mirio answering, "Not with Optimus Prime leading them, they won't give up. They will beat Megatron and all the other Decepticons!"

Inward, Mirio wasn't quite sure if the Autobots could succeed. He was certain they will come out victorious but was worried about what the cost of that victory will be.

Rosa thought in her mind, 'So, Bonecrusher is called Sweeper in this version of the film? I can only imagine why that is…and his name is Devastator…'

Izuku grew even more concerned as he was sure he knew who was left, he counted 12 Decepticons so far (noting that Zarak will be absent for the rest of the film), and aside from Megatron himself, there was one more Decepticon for this roll-call as Izanami called it.

Then, the same Decepticon Izuku dreaded appeared, with everyone, noticing he was flying over the Mojave Desert as he communicated.

"{Blackout incoming…}" the Decepticon who attacked Soccent Air Base said, turning over the dunes as he gave one final message, seeming to spite Starscream, "{All hail Megatron!}"

The intention was not lost on anyone, Blackout clearly said that to spite Starscream, that they serve Megatron.

Hawks sighed heavily in frustration as he bitterly commented, "It is pretty obvious by this point that Blackout is one of 'those' lackeys. The devoted follower who is fiercely loyal to his master, who in this case, is Megatron…"

Present Mic sighed as he read the last card in this roll-call, he figured the last blank card is for who he is certain it belonged to, but read the card of the first Transformer they all saw in this film, "Blackout, Decepticon infiltrator and all-around hunter, he serves as the 'hound' of Megatron. His loyalty to his master is so great that he openly challenges and spites Starscream when his priorities aren't on locating the lord of the Decepticons. When Blackout is given a target, he hunts it down with fierce determination, and he will not stop until he destroys it. Packing the power of an entire platoon, Blackout is armed to the teeth with gatling guns, ballistic missiles, a rotating saw from his tail rotor capable of cleaving through steel, and his most dangerous weapons, Concussive Energon Cannons, capable of generating shockwaves of energy that could tear buildings apart."

"Blackout is even worse than I thought…he's a blind follower of Megatron…like some of All For One's lackeys…" All Might said, but he whispered that last sentence as he glared at AFO, who simply smirked, likely at just how imposing of a force the Decepticons were.

"Seems that description is accurate. If Starscream's is accurate too, he likely wants Megatron to stay missing, and Blackout hailed Megatron not just to spite Starscream, but also to remind the second-in-command who their master is…" Shoto commented, as knowing the entire roster of the Decepticons in this film made him admit this was a formidable squadron, more than tough enough to give him trouble.

"I know the outcome to this battle already. But I am more worried about how the Autobots will overcome the Decepticons in this version…" Rosa whispered quietly to herself, to where only Kyoka Jiro and Mezo Shoji heard what she said.

"How are the Autobots going to fight this unit of Decepticons? They are outgunned, outnumbered, and severely lacking in ferocity to fight these monsters!" Kaminari questioned nervously, a sentiment shared by all of those who formed a connection with the Autobots, especially Optimus Prime.

Izuku got their attention by saying, "The Autobots have too much to lose, they will find a way to beat the odds. They have to, especially because of that vow Optimus said. Even if the path to victory leads to Optimus…taking his life to destroy the Allspark…they will win…"

Once he said that, everyone agreed that they will have to wait and see just how the Autobots will beat the odds. All Might especially looked at Izuku like a proud father, as he eliminated the wave of worry sweeping over everyone, reaffirming that his decision to pass One For All to him was the right choice.

Rosa thought as she looked at Izuku, 'Oh boy. If they thought the odds were stacked against the Autobots here, just wait until they reach Dark of the Moon, if we get there…'

The woman soon looked at Izanami and asked her, "How did they accomplish having 12 Transformers in our version, to 24 Transformers in this version in the first place? I know Michael Bay wanted more Transformers characters when this film was made in our reality, how did he get that in the reality this film came from?"

Izanami looked at Rosa and answered, "Hasbro is the primary reason they succeeded in getting more characters. The hype building up in this version was noticed by them, so they put extra money into the film's budget, and they had more control over this version than your version. But they also succeeded because a pair of computer engineers had figured out how to maximize the rendering of the special effects without going over budget, which opened the door for additional characters to appear in this version compared to the one you (and you readers reading this) are familiar with…"

"Oh, okay…" Rosa said as she continued watching the film, Kyoka overheard and filed that information away.

1:39:38-1:40:12

Once the scene cut back to the humans under Hoover Dam, Maggie brought up a question that grabbed everyone's attention.

"Yeah, I agree. What kind of energy does the Allspark have that enables it to do…well, all of that they said it could do?" Melissa replied, a lot of the more intellectually-minded viewers thinking what this energy the Allspark has.

"Something that could never be properly explained, even by those who know its inner workings…" Rosa half-answered, "It is like one of those answers to a mystery that likely will never be solved, like that whole 'which came first; the chicken or the egg?' kind of deal…"

"It is as Mic's reading says, no one knows what the Allspark is or where it came from…" Midnight said, as Banachek and Simmons had the group follow them to another location.

"A room with a clear box in the center?" Dabi questioned, which Kurogiri pointed out, "It must be important in regards to the energy of the Allspark, why else would there be guards surrounding it…"

"With all those chords and wires attached to this box, my best guess is that they somehow are able to funnel the Allspark's energy into it. Bringing any technology inside and turning it into a Transformer…" David wondered, as he, Melissa, Mei, Momo, and Ida carefully observed the room.

"Anyone nervous after Banachek said they had to be locked inside?" Sero asked.

"Absolutely," Itsuka replied.

"Definitely." Asui croaked.

"Without question," Jurota added with a shudder.

"I would be very worried," Ochako added, unintentionally bringing her hand close to Izuku's arm.

Once the humans stepped inside the "Box Chamber" for a lack of a better term, the people guarding the box locked them inside the room, with several noting the door was real heavy-duty.

"It's like a bank vault…" Gentle Criminal commented, "Whatever is inside, the door is a clue that they don't mess around by keeping it under lock and key."

"I've drawn a similar conclusion myself…" Nezu said as he observed more of Sector Seven's headquarters through this box room.

Everyone's worry intensified once the camera focused on one of the back walls with Epps noticing the damage on the old, but sturdy steel wall.

"Well, that's a red flag if I've ever seen one…" Mineta squirmed, noticing the clear damage on the wall that isn't a result of age or wear.

"Are those…claw marks?" Ochako questioned nervously.

Hearing Epps and Glen's response to noticing those very claw marks made everyone relax a little at the unintentional humor.

"Freddy Krueger? Nah! Those are three marks, he has four claws…" Toga said, but the comparison was not lost on her, recalling some of the older, pre-quirk era Nightmare on Elm Street films.

"Yeah, I agree with Glen…" Kamikiri remarked, "…That looks more like Wolverine's mark, especially with his Adamantite claws easily cutting through steel…"

Once Simmons sarcastically remarked that Glen's remark was very funny, everyone noticed a sign to the left and what it said.

"So, this is a laboratory?" Snipe asked scratching his temple.

"Seems like, and it's some laboratory…" Thirteen replied, somewhat concerned about the damage on that wall, especially with the sign confirming the room was a lab, saying that it had 322 days without a safety breach.

1:40:12-1:40:46

Everyone got quiet once Simmons asked if anyone had any electronic devices, likely demonstrating the energy of the Allspark's effect on machines. Those who have the unique perspective of seeing this as a film know the energy's effect was likely the Allspark's ability to create life, as it did for the Autobots and Decepticons.

Glen offered up his phone, with Simmons remarking that Nokia's are really nasty. Like it wasn't the first Nokia phone they tested on. But, what he said next made plenty break their silence as he said more about the Nokia phone.

"Excuse you? Nokia is a phone model from Finland, what in the actual f*ck made you think it is from Japan!" Mei exclaimed with shock and anger, a sentiment shared by some of the audience.

"Yeah, Rosa and I were just as confused as you are in that regard…" Sean said as he lightly scratched his scalp, "Do you guys know?"

Izanami and Izanagi looked at Sean as he asked that, then noticed everyone looking at them for an answer. Izanami answered for both of them, "That's up to you to interpret…"

Hearing Maggie confirm the Nokia is from Finland, everyone soon agreed with Secretary Keller in what he responded to her over.

"That is what we're assuming the minute this guy appeared. Strange seems like an understatement…" Melissa replied to Keller's words.

Once the audience saw everyone in the "Box Laboratory" put on these protective goggles on their faces, a finger snap resonated throughout the room, and in front of everyone, the same kind of goggles appeared before them.

Everyone turned to the only one who could make the goggles appear, Izanami replied without a question needing to be asked, "There are very distracting flashing lights in this sequence. Despite it not being too strobe-like, I would rather not risk inducing a seizure however minor or unlikely it is, so put those on for now until I tell you to take them off, they filter out the sudden, flashes of lights…"

Everyone soon did so as Simmons explained the box Glen's Nokia was inside seeing a mechanical arm lower to the phone.

"Wow, you were right David." All Might said patting his former sidekick's shoulder, to the inventor's slight shyness to the praise.

As Simmons explained, he toggled a few switches and buttons, then for a few seconds, the scene showed the Allspark, as an eerie blue glow raced from the bottom of the Cube, to the top, then running through a funnel close above the artifact.

"No duh that blue glow is the Allspark's energy…" Kaminari said, pointing out the obvious thoughts everyone had in a sarcastic manner.

Mei, while still nervous and knowing full well what was revealed about the Earth's modern technology through the Autobots, couldn't help but be excited to witness the birth of a new Transformer.

"I cannot wait to witness the birth of this new baby…even though I can expect what is going to happen…" the pink-haired inventor said, with a smile that seemed worried, and excited at the same time.

1:40:46-1:41:20

From the mechanical arm, a tiny blue laser shot out from the end of the arm to the phone inside, and with several bright flashes that surprised everyone, electricity surged through the phone making the device look like it was covered in lightning.

"Oh wow, you weren't kidding about the lights." Kurorio as he flinched at the brightness, even through the goggles.

"The light! It burns!" Dark Shadow said as he hid inside Tokoyami's cloak to shield himself, even when he was wearing goggles himself.

"The blinding light that gives life to that which breathes not once before…" Tokoyami said in response, flinching at how bright the Allspark's energy was.

The phone had jostled and twitched as everyone soon heard the familiar transformation noise of a Transformer changing from vehicle to robot mode. Once the sound finished, within a second, the phone exploded into a spider-like robot no bigger than a rat, making the audience members jump as the humans did on the screen.

"Goodness!" was all Momo could say in response to the fact a simple cell phone became an alien robot in disguise.

Ida watched the screen closely as did Nezu, Aizawa, Izuku, Mei, Melissa, and Itsuka.

Aizawa was the first to say, "Something's not right…"

"Glad I am not the only one who noticed…" Mei said, she could tell this newly-born Transformer wasn't right.

Those worries were confirmed once the Nokia-bot charged at Spike and Mikaela. It crashed aggressively at the glass box, cracking, but not breaking its prison. It did so again at one of the Soccent survivors.

"It's actively targeting humans, with clear intent to harm, or even kill everyone in the room," Nezu commented, flinching at every flash and crash caused by the Nokia-bot.

"Even though we have no clue what the life cycle is like with the Transformers, something is clearly wrong, unnatural even, on how this Nokia former phone is behaving." Ibara Shiozaki said, holding her hands together in prayer as the thought that the miracle of life would become this perverted by Megatron's plan, made the girl feel horrible.

"It clearly goes against nature, that's how wrong it feels…" Momo said, shuddering at the clear implications of Megatron's plan became known through this tiny robot.

Mei felt really scared, especially as her thoughts lead her to a horrifying realization if these events happened in her world. Her own inventions would be a by-product of Megatron's plan, and if he uses the Allspark to turn all of Earth's machines into an army because the modern age of technology was because he was reverse-engineered, his army would include all her inventions, her babies, turning against their creator under the will of a warmongering tyrant bent of universal conquest.

Izuku and Ochako giving her a little comfort helped ease these fears a little, as everyone saw the film continue.

"Mean little sucker, huh?" Simmons said as Maggie exclaimed, "That thing is freaky!"

Simmons continued with another question as if he was pointing something out, "Kind of like the itty-bitty Energizer Bunny from hell, huh?"

"That's the understatement of the century! Freaky seems not appropriate enough…" Jurota exclaimed, feeling his heart race.

"Hey! Leave that adorable mascot out of your comparison!" Mina shouted, while still fearfully hiding behind Kirishima, while he added, "What she said, I like the Energizer Bunny, he's manly for going on without getting tired once!"

Everyone soon got a good, close-up look at the Nokia Transformer. Suffice to say, he wasn't the least bit adorable for a newborn Transformer. Like Maggie said, and everyone agreed, he was freaky. The little Transformer said something in an alien dialect as what looked like a bazooka transformed on its shoulder, and a mini-gatling gun appeared from its chest.

"It's armed…" Momo worriedly commented as the little robot soon fired off its weapons inside the box.

David gave his observation, "Considering Sector Seven's protocols, the glass this box is made from seems to be the same kind used on windshields and windows of secret service vehicles. It doesn't shatter as easily as the typical glass you would find in your house or normal cars. The fact this Nokia-bot is cracking it so easily with its weapons and charging into the glass, if it ever got out…"

Aizawa finished David Shield's thoughts, "There's little doubt this abomination would kill a lot of people and cripple the government by crippling its advanced research division…"

Simmons soon complained to Banachek that the Nokia-bot was breaking 'the box' and with a press of a button, a powerful surge of electricity surged into the box. Simmons grunted with a bit of glee as the light inside flashed brightly, and then, the charred corpse of the little Transformer was shown, wisps of smoke billowing from its remains.

Mei wailed as even if it was a bad baby, the Nokia-bot was still an incredible piece of technological advancement. So soon was it brought into this world, it was violently executed and taken away from it, it was a lot for the inventor in her heart to bear. Izuku tried to comfort her, not pleased himself about how Sector Seven effectively killed a living being just because it was breaking its confinement.

Ibara was equally shocked at how the little Transformer was treated, as she said in shock, "It may have been an abomination, and spit in the face of God, but it was still a living being. It should've been given a chance to change, to live, Optimus would've given it one. How could Sector Seven do such a thing to the miracle that is life?"

"Product of the times, Shiozaki…" Sean replied to the vine girl, "This was a movie targeted mostly for teenagers of the time, 13-to-17-year-olds who were into pretty violent films in America during the 2000s. Most of Michael Bay's films leave much to be desired in terms of story, but there is no question he tends to deliver movies that make a LOT of money…"

Izanagi added with a clear, calm voice, "Sector Seven also aren't fully aware of the true capabilities of the Allspark and what it can do. As far as they're aware, the Allspark is effectively creating combat-ready drones, not fully sentient, living beings. But, to be fair, the Allspark being used in such a manner, it is creating soulless fighting machines, and Megatron's plan if he succeeds will result in the same for every machine on Earth. Some say the Allspark is a product of a hyper-advanced science no one alive will be able to understand, but it has always had a more 'mystical' quality to it."

"But, why was anything brought to life by the Allspark end up being violent killers?" Melissa wondered, still somewhat unsure about how specifically Megatron's plan would work, "If we go off of information we have so far, then the minute Megatron uses the Allspark, then all of Earth's machines will turn on everything, even their creator…"

"Recall what Prowl said regarding seeing Megatron's metaphorical fingerprints in the circuitry of Earth's machines?" Izanami asked, which everyone did remember that bit of information.

Nezu had a feeling and replied with a guess, "Given that bit of information, and the fact that the Transformers are living organisms that only happen to be robot-like. Then humans reverse-engineering Megatron is effectively the same thing as cloning Megatron. Incomplete copies of himself that will likely be tied to his will to dominate and conquer, correct…"

"And we have a winner everyone!" Izanami clapped congratulatory, "That is the unexpected brilliance of Megatron's plan. It will have hiccups, sure, but ultimately being studied like a thing instead of a living creature has worked in Megatron's favor in his conquest of the universe."

"Oh, this is worse than I thought," Tsukauchi sighed with a bit of worry, "It could be best compared to All For One if he was in Megatron's position, and people unknowingly gave him a venerable army by using his DNA to create quirks as they wanted by tampering with the DNA of others…"

"Hmm…I never thought of that…it is a perfectly devious plan, I'll admit, but I'm afraid it is a little too late to try and see if it could work…" All For One confessed, it sounded like his eventual plan for Shigaraki as his new vessel, but on a bigger scale. He wished he had more time in the past to see if it could work.

'Unlikely…a-hole…' Izanami thought, with All Might cringing at the idea of AFO using a similar plan as Megatron.

"Oh, if it isn't obvious, you can take your goggles off now…" Izanami said, which after half a minute, everyone took their goggles off.

1:41:20-1:41:48

The scene soon changed abruptly after Maggie and Secretary Keller looked at the Nokia-bot's smoldering corpse, to show out on a highway, Barricade leading some (about five by Izuku's count) of the ground-level Decepticons down the road. Izuku remembered who was who by looking at the alt-modes of the Transformers. Doing a quick roll call, Izuku noticed that Barricade was escorting Brawl, Onslaught, Sweeper (Bonecrusher), Dead End, and Swindle.

"Oh, crap! We forgot that Frenzy b*s*a*d just gave the Decepticons the exact coordinates to the thing they are after!" Makoto exclaimed, especially when it showed the Nevada crags and rock formations and two F-22 Raptors flew over them.

The two jets were soon joined by a third as they took off higher into the sky, and the third raced over the Colorado River, and straight toward Hoover Dam.

"Don't tell me that those jet Decepticons are going to blow up Hoover Dam!" Ida cried out in shock at how ruthless the Decepticons are.

The jet heading for the dam soon flew close to the water on the other side of the dam and flew under one of the little bridges connected to the little towers. It transformed mid-flight and during his upturn under the bridge, long arms extended out to grab the underside of the bridge and flip over like a pole vault. Fully in robot mode, the Transformer, known by everyone as Starscream by his name suddenly appeared and faded long enough for the group to know this was the second-in-command. Starscream soon landed on the bridge as armed guards scrambled to get out of the way of the massive Decepticon.

"Not gonna lie, that was so manly and cool…" Kirishima confessed, with Tetsutetsu replying, "I agree, that was so manly and cool…"

Starscream soon brought out a missile launcher and fired six missiles toward the camera at an unknown target, while ordering in the Cybertronian language to Thundercracker and Skywarp to keep the humans occupied as he goes to retrieve the Allspark.

Starscream's target soon was shown and it was the power generators that provided power from Hoover Dam to at least six of the fifty-one United States.

"Oh, sh*t!" Hawks cursed, this was more problematic than was shown, as David confirmed…

"If Starscream pops those generators, more than Sector Seven's base will be affected by the substantial drop in power provided. This will also cause panic by blackouts in the six states that Hoover Dam provided energy to. And something tells me cities being gridlocked by a lack of power is the least of our concerns about those generators going offline…"

After showing some workers at the dam itself reacting to concerning noises, it cut to the laboratory, with Keller saying what the audience already knew for a few minutes.

"As he said, the Decepticons know the Cube is here…" Cementoss grimly said what everyone was thinking.

1:41:48-1:42:13

Banachek soon hit a button on a rather old-looking telecom device and asked what was going on, with a worker on an older landline confirming what David said was what got him really concerned about the generators being destroyed.

"Seems that Mr. NBE-One is going to go after the Allspark as he did millennia earlier…" Dabi smirked with a grin, enjoying how utterly worried the heroes and students looked at the news they didn't want to be confirmed, especially his younger siblings.

"Megatron's icy prison is failing…" Natsuo growled in frustration, trying to comfort his older sister who looked like she was going to panic.

Lennox soon got the situation and immediately asked Banachek if Sector Seven had an arms room.

Aizawa nodded as he stated, "Captain Lennox has the right idea, now is not the time to panic and act like a child. Megatron's escape is all but inevitable at this point, so they have to be ready to fight tooth and nail to keep the Allspark out of his clutches. This is important for you students to learn if you ever find yourself in a situation like this…"

The children heard and barely replied as their attention was focused on the screen, various thoughts running through their minds individually. Fear, worry, determination, and even how to keep Megatron imprisoned in his icy cage.

Everyone soon jumped when the scene cut to a control room littered with dead people and the culprit being Frenzy who looked at his work and soon went to a computer and typed into the controls.

The students and some of the pros gritted their teeth in frustration over the loss of life at this infiltrator's hands. What Frenzy was typing in soon became clear once a message appeared on the screen, showing the cryo-pumps keeping Megatron frozen go offline.

Shoto gritted his teeth in bitterness, if he was there, he could probably keep the Decepticon leader frozen and stalled long enough for Sector Seven to get the pumps back online. Frenzy excitedly shouting Megatron's name rapidly showed how enthusiastic the mini-con was in getting his leader back.

"Blind loyalty…" All Might softly growled, imagining Hoover Dam as Tartarus and Megatron as AFO, and hating the image being painted in his mind.

"Definitely a code-red situation…" Setsuna said as Banachek ordered everyone in the massive section of the base to head for the NBE One Chamber immediately.

"They are likely trying to control the situation and keep Megatron frozen, completely unaware they had been infiltrated by one of the enemy forces…" Pixie Bob commented with a quiet growl.

All For One enjoyed the panic the heroes were going through, and said as a matter of fact, "Whether they succeed will not matter in the end, the mighty Megatron will be free. Frenzy will make sure of that…"

1:42:13-1:42:38

As the main characters rushed down a tunnel to the arms room, the scene cut to outside in the Nevada desert, showing all nine Autobots rushing towards the coordinates they acquired. The tense music playing earlier takes on a still urgent, but otherwise hopeful tone as the Autobots hurried…

Everyone cheered as the Autobots rushed to Hoover Dam as fast as their vehicle modes could go.

"Hurry Optimus! Megatron is going to be freed!" Yaoyarozu exclaimed.

"Please hurry…" Tsuyu, Setsuna, Toru, and Ibara prayed.

"You are the Earth's best chance at stopping this threat!" Ida and Jurota said.

"You have to stop Megatron…" Izuku quietly begged, gripping his seat's arm-rests tightly.

Even most of the villains (minus one who I am sure you know who) felt the tense urgency of the situation and what is at stake if Megatron's plan succeeded. Megatron sounded like the complete opposite to Optimus Prime, so as a first for them, they are actively rooting against the villains of the movie.

"You got this Optimus Prime, you have to win…" Spinner, the most active supporter of Optimus Prime by now, said what the other villains were thinking. Much to AFO's growing frustration…

Once the scene cut back to Frenzy, everyone's worries skyrocketed as it was bad enough the mini-con disabled the cryo-pumps, he was also…

"That sneaky cheating f*cker!" Bakugo growled out, "He's not just stopping the cold air from keeping that Megatron-b*s*a*d frozen, he's also heating up the room to accelerate melting the ice to free him…"

"I hate that I am jealous of a little killer robot for easily hacking into government servers and all the carnage he unleashes…" La Brava said, hugging Gentle Criminal's arm as a safety net.

It soon became quite obvious as the PA announcer messaged the system failures as the frozen form of Megatron soon began to thaw. Scientists still studying him stopped their work as they felt the rise in temperature, and saw the ice quickly melting. Megatron's open palm stretched to the ceiling twitched, the ice beginning to crack. Then the audience got a look at Megatron's face and saw his eyes flare a bright red and begin to stir awake and an animalistic growl escaped from his mouth.

"Oh f*king sh*t! Megatron is waking up!" Mineta panicked as he hid behind the seat in front of him.

"Merci! This is terrible!" Yuga Aoyama exclaimed as he hugged his legs tightly in fear, he felt the same fear back at the Training Camp when the League of Villains attacked and he hid from Dabi.

"I won't lie, that legit scared me…" Mr. Compress confessed with a shudder, as the rest of the villains agreed, AFO felt more jealous feelings over how effective Megatron was at instilling fear into the heroes, even when he barely did anything outside of killing an injured Transformer in an exposition scene.

"Goodness," Rin Hiryu said, "Megatron's growl sounded just like a lion's or a crocodile's, he sounded like you Jurota…"

Jurota replied without taking his eyes off the screen, "I'll give you that, and it is genuinely terrifying. Megatron seems more like a monster than the Hulk with that sound…"

Rosa held her husband's hand as she said to him, "Not gonna lie myself, this was much more chilling than our version…"

"Agreed…" Sean replied with one word, glaring at Megatron like an old enemy, something Izuku noticed once he calmed Ochako down.

1:42:38-1:43:51

The scene soon showed the soldiers, some Sector Seven agents, Banachek, and Simmons readying for battle. Arming assault buggies with weapons that will likely fire the only thing in the military's arsenal that could harm the Decepticons, the sabot round shells. The students felt the tense air and subconsciously activated their quirks as if they will be fighting alongside the troops against the Decepticons.

Izanami noticed and snapped her fingers to get the students' attention while one soldier ordered getting 40mm sabot rounds on that table, "Look, I know the situation is tense children, but you have got to relax a little. You are merely observing a battle that is about to be waged, not actively participating in it. So do yourselves, myself, and Kiddo's sake a favor and deactivate your quirks and not try to leap through the screen like it was Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass, please…"

Everyone soon relaxed enough to not activate their quirks after the scene showed the lights in the arms room flicker and dim, likely due to the strain the backup generators were at keeping the hidden base active.

"Oh this is really bad…" Mandalay said as her hero training threatened to kick in, especially as Kota scooted closer to his aunt.

Eri, Mahoro, and Katsuma did the same with the Big Three, trying to ease the kids, as the scene showed Simmons loading a sabot shell into a gun, looking up at the lights.

Spike Witwicky soon rushed up to Simmons, demanding, "You got to take me to my car. You have to take me to my car, now. He's gonna know what to do with the Cube."

"Your car? It's confiscated." Simmons replied as he looked around the room, likely alert for Megatron once he's free, with Spike responding as it was an obvious answer, "Then unconfiscate him!"

"Oh no…I know what he's gonna-…and there he goes…" Hawks said, right as Simmons gave the obvious response by saying they will not what will happen if they let Bumblebee near the Allspark.

Mei Hatsume shouted at Simmons, "What other ideas do you have then, the Decepticons are knocking on your door, Megatron is thawing out, and the Allspark is right there for both to get and doom humanity! Having a Transformer on your side is possibly your best shot at saving the goddamn world!"

"I would not swear the lord's name like that, but I agree with Hatsume. Bumblebee may be your best shot at salvation from evil's clutches…" Shiozaki prayed, hoping in her heart that this is the way for Bumblebee to be delivered from his suffering earlier.

Hearing that Simmons rebuffs about how maybe Spike knows but he doesn't make the students bitter were about to argue with him over it, Aizawa silenced them by saying before any of them could speak…

"Simmons does have a legitimate point, even though we know better seeing this play out from the beginning, they don't have that luxury of our foresight. He is just doing his job, and as the base is under attack, he has every right to hold Bumblebee on the basis that there are hostile alien forces coming for the Allspark. Especially after what Spike Witwicky has just told them regarding Megatron."

Hawks added, "Yeah, Eraserhead has a point. Unless they have undeniable proof, they will likely keep the Camero Autobot in government custody as a potential hostile. They don't have proof that the aliens are divided into two opposing factions, one more than willing to help them fight back. The Autobots didn't really give Sector Seven any incentive to trust them after their last encounter."

Everyone remembered the urgency of the mission made conflict inevitable for the Autobots and thought maybe they could've approached the situation better.

Their thoughts on such issues were swiftly halted by Lennox grabbing Simmons by the combat vest and telling Simmons to take Spike to his car with a gun pointed at the director's face. Pretty soon the escalation rose as the Soccent survivors and the agents of Sector Seven had a standoff, with Banachek trying to de-escalate the situation before a trigger is pulled.

"Whoa! That got intense real fast!" Ojiro remarked with surprise.

Aizawa groaned as he said, "Anything that could help handle the situation here should be considered, and Simmon's clear paranoia is making things more difficult than they need to be. They have to refocus their efforts into combating the Decepticons, than each other."

"As much as I want to see blood fly everywhere, Bumblebee needs to be freed as soon as possible, or else Megatron will enslave the universe…" Toga said, she could tell this wasn't a situation where her love for blood should be shown.

The bickering between Lennox & Epps with Simmons earned a chuckle when Simmons tried to pull the fact he technically outranks them, but they rebuffed that they don't take orders from people who don't exist.

"I mean, it's like that whole tree making a sound thing. Why should people take orders from people who, legally speaking, do not exist?" Makoto wryly remarked.

Aizawa then said, "Don't start that discussion, it's already long enough with this film's length. And besides, Simmons does work directly under the President of the United States, so this does count as insubordination…"

As Simmons and Lennox gave threats that they were going to give the other until the count of five and three respectively, Izuku said, "There is someone who outranks Simmons and will get him to comply, Defense Secretary Keller. He heard that all, and as he is in charge of national security, any chance to combat the enemy will be taken…"

As the green-haired boy said that, Secretary Keller told Simmons that he listen to Lennox, as he added that losing is not an option for Lennox's unit.

"Like the kid says, any chance to make victory more possible for them will be taken…" Tiger said, crossing his arms as Simmons eventually replied…

"All right. Okay. Hey, you guys want to lay the fate of the world on the kid's Camero? That's cool."

"Yes!" the students cheered, with Hatsume adding, "Bumblebee will be freed!"

Eri, Mahoro, Katsuma, and Kota smiled upon hearing that, glad Bumblebee will not get hurt any longer by the government agents.

Izuku smiled as well, but he soon adopted a serious face as he thought, 'Even if Bumblebee will be freed from captivity, they still have Megatron, the rest of the Decepticons, and the Allspark to handle. They're not out of the woods yet…'

1:43:51-1:44:38

-[Play "Bumblebee" - From Transformers The Complete Score]-

Once everyone let out their held-in breaths that Bumblebee will be freed, the scene jumped to everyone walking into the room the Autobot was being held in, his cries of pain striking right into everyone's hearts.

"Oh, Bumblebee…" Kyoka whimpered with her hand over her heart, she felt very protective of the young Autobot, but couldn't explain why.

Spike soon rushed in and shouted at the Sector Seven agents keeping Bumblebee cold, with Banachek soon rushing in and telling his co-workers to stop, both telling the agents and scientists in the room to let Bumblebee go.

"Oh, thank god they stopped. I couldn't handle Bumblebee being tortured any longer…" Mina said as she rested her hands over her heart.

Ida noticed Lennox and his unit looked tense as they held their guns close to their chests, asking, "Why are they so tense? Aren't they aware that Bumblebee is on their side?"

Nezu answered the young man, "They do have a right to be cautious, the last Transformer they encountered was, if you recall, Zarak, and before that, Blackout. Both Decepticons attacked their base in Qatar just to locate Megatron and the Allspark, both inside the base under Hoover Dam. Their prior experience with our robots in disguise was not at all positive…"

"It's stupid they have to think that, but I get where they're coming from…" Present Mic said, letting out a sigh over this debacle.

"As that saying goes, 'curiosity killed the cat', it is better to be cautious than pay for not being cautious enough…" Aizawa said as Spike asked Bumblebee if he was okay, and the scout looked at Spike.

"Aww, I think Bumblebee is smiling…" Toru cooed as she saw a look of happiness on the Autobot's face.

Bumblebee briefly looked around with his eyes widening as a mask soon deployed over his face and his arm transformed into a cannon, aiming it around at everyone.

"Whoa-whoa-whoa! Bumblebee wait! They're not going to hurt you anymore! Put the gun down!" Kaminari exclaimed, with several others adding their own versions of lowering the situation.

Spike soon said to his friend, "Listen to me, Bumblebee. The Cube is here, the Allspark is here, Megatron too, and the Decepticons are coming for it."

Bumblebee had heard Spike, but he was too worried about being in the base after his ordeal, him pointing his humming cannon around like a frightened person, neck deep into hostile territory.

Aizawa sighed as he said, "Though I want to criticize Bumblebee for his behavior, I will also give him a pass as he went through likely hours of torment earlier."

Bumblebee soon sat straight up as Spike told his friend that the soldiers won't hurt him, and also told the soldiers that Bumblebee is friendly and lower their guns.

Soon enough Bumblebee relaxed as soon as he was sure he wasn't going to be hurt anymore and Spike soon told the Autobot scout to follow him, that he'll take him to the Allspark.

1:44:38-1:46:05

Showing the Allspark again in its full glory as the music swelled louder. Bumblebee walked up to the Allspark, gazing at it with a sense of awe before he looked at the hieroglyphs on the Cube.

The humans rushed toward the Allspark as fast as they could, succeeding to getting under the artifact, and making the audience really understand the sheer scope of the Cube's size.

"Goodness, it is still unbelievable, the sheer size of the Allspark…" Ragdoll commented, with Pixie Bob adding, "The size of a city block for sure…"

Bumblebee soon walked up to the artifact, looking at the thing that created his entire species.

"It must mean something to him, gazing upon the very thing that likely created him…" Ibara said as she clasped her hands together in a small prayer.

"Definitely…" Pony replied as Bumblebee soon brought up his hands, but they hovered a few inches from actually touching the Allspark.

"Wait! Does Bumblebee know how to work with the Allspark?" Momo asked as it soon dawned that the audience doesn't know if Bumblebee would know what to do with the giant cube.

Izanami answered, "Technically, Bumblebee is about as clueless on what to do with the Allspark as the humans. But as a Cybertronian, he will figure out something a lot quicker than the humans, as you are soon about to see…"

That made everyone a little nervous, especially once they saw Bumblebee's facial expression give a clear look of someone not entirely sure of what to do. Bumblebee soon let out a small "oooohhh" as he looked at the cube, and saw an idea flicker in his blue optics.

"He's figured something out, likely from the stories his people have with the Allspark if there are legends surrounding it…" Melissa responded, especially when Epps noted Bumblebee is doing something and something the scout did…

The music crescendoed into a loud melody that had a smattering of the Allspark's theme once Bumblebee placed his hands on the corner of the Allspark and a blue light soon raced across the cuboid object and the hieroglyphs glowed in a bright blue light. Then suddenly, for brief glimpses, images appeared as holographic projections from the light and quickly faded.

"Whoa! What the hell was all that?" Kamikiri said as he noticed a few familiar images briefly appear from the Allspark, but it happened too quickly for him to think those images were what he thought they were.

'Were those…math equations? That's no math I've ever seen before…' Melissa wondered as she rubbed her eyes to make sure they weren't tricking her.

A sentiment shared by most as they all saw the same things, many familiar images, and concepts unfamiliar flash quickly for a few seconds before disappearing. Hawks had very sharp eyes himself, and he couldn't make out all the details of what he saw in those images.

"Could that be…?" Itsuka and Momo wondered aloud, only for Izanami to confirm for them…

"What you saw is part of the legends that the Allspark both came from another universe and that it is a repository of information. Secrets of the Universe and beyond that could radically change how one views the universe is known. Perhaps even answers that plagued humanity since the dawn of time…"

"What secrets does the Allspark hold? How I wish to know, perhaps the secret to creating anything from nothing? Faster than light travel? Synthetic, endless energy? How to achieve world peace? The possibilities are endless…" David said as his mind worked overtime to figure out those equations he saw glimpses of, trying to sear what he remembers into his subconscious, but he felt a little crestfallen as he soon confessed, "…so many things that could benefit humanity with the knowledge it contains, but a crying shame that it has to be destroyed for the sake of the universe…"

Everyone soon felt just as upset something clearly so valuable and irreplaceable had to be destroyed for the sake of all the free people in the universe.

"It has to be done…the risks are too great, as much as it pains all of us to admit…" Aizawa said, now fully understanding why the object is such a big deal, and he felt reluctant to destroy such an artifact, even though he was fully onboard with destroying it to keep it out of evil's hands earlier.

'I must have the Allspark! Forget the Tessaract, this repository of information is so much more valuable than that puny blue cube. After all, the saying, knowledge is power, has merits here…' All For One thought, the more that was revealed and shown with the Allspark, the more he desired to obtain it, or at least find out if such a thing exists in his universe.

Once the surge of blue energy reached the apex of the Cube, everyone fell completely silent as the music conveyed what they were thinking; sheer awe.

The Allspark soon began collapsing in on itself, compressing into a smaller size. The transformations were a sight to behold, but seeing the Allspark doing this, was unbelievable to their eyes, and their jaws hung wide open to convey the awe they feel.

"Th-that's–…th-that's impossible…" Momo said in complete disbelief, "It couldn't be doing–…!"

Izanami answered, "The Allspark here is capable of something called 'Mass Shifting' able to compress in size and change its weight on the size it takes. Take note of this aspect, as you guys will see a lot of Mass Shifting in regards of the Transformers, especially for some earlier aspects of the franchise…"

"Mass Shifting…" David and Melissa Shield said in unison, their minds stopped working once the scene showed more of the Allspark folding in on itself as it got smaller.

Mikaela held her hands over her mouth to hide a shocked and amazed smile as she said: "Oh my god…" over the sound of the Allspark folding itself.

"Oh my god, indeed…" Setsuna, Pony, Awase, Kosei, Ida, Tsuyu, Momo, Toru, Thirteen, Fuyumi, Midnight, Present Mic, Mandalay, Ragdoll, and Pixie Bob said in unison.

Seeing the Allspark shrink from the size of a city block down to being only half a meter across all sides, and seemingly lose what was likely several hundred or thousand tons of weight to be able to be picked up by a teenager, it frankly broke the minds of all the intellectuals.

"Bet you want to study the Allspark, huh Hatsume?" Power Loader managed to say after getting over his initial shock, but after noticing his student was completely silent throughout most of the sequence, he turned to look at her, "Uh, Hatsume Mei?"

The support course girl had a stupified expression on her face, eyes wide and mouth hung open in shock and awe. Not registering the people around her calling her, Mei soon felt lightheaded and straight-up fainted, surprising everyone.

"Gah! Hatsume! Snap out of it!" Izuku tried to wake her up, with Ochako, Power Loader, and Tenya Ida joining him in waking her up.

"Oh boy…I did not expect Hatsume to faint like that on us…" Izanami said with raised eyebrows, "Better fix that so she doesn't miss out on the finale of the film…"

After even smelling salts provided by Momo Yaoyorozu failed to rouse Mei Hatsume, the other students started to get worried, until Izanami told them to step aside.

She rubbed her hands together as tiny sparks of electricity danced across her palms, she soon crouched down and had her hands hover over Mei's chest, then said to her, "Hey Hatsume, Tony Stark is here to show you how to build a working arc reactor…"

She shocked Mei awake as she said that, and like a rocket, Mei Hatsume lurched upright as she excitedly asked, "My God of Technology here?! Where! Where!"

"Sorry, had to lie to get you up and awake. Can't have you missing out on the film…" Izanami apologized to the girl, who pouted that Iron Man wasn't actually there.

'Well, I hope Kiddo does have the Avengers actually talk with everyone after Endgame, they need a confidence boost after that…' Izanami confessed in her mind.

Everyone's attention was soon back on the screen as Bumblebee held the shrunken Cube down, folding its last few pieces back to a smaller version of itself. Bumblebee briefly shocked his finger on his other hand as he held the Allspark carefully in his grasp, making the Autobot flinch a bit.

"{*beep-beep* Message from Starfleet, Captain…*KRSK*…Let's get to it…}" Bumblebee spoke through the radio…

"He's right. We stay here, we're screwed with Megatron in the other hangar, he's melting out of his prison and he'll be out for blood to claim the Allspark." Lennox replied, taking command of the situation, and began laying out the battle plan, "Las Vegas is 22 miles away. We will rendezvous there to sneak the Allspark out of here, hiding there for cover until we receive backup. But we cannot make a stand without the Air Force. Sir, you have got to figure out some way to get word out to them."

Secretary Keller agreed and asked Simmons, "This place must have some kind of short-wave radio link! Yes. Shortwave, CB?"

Simmons soon replied, "Right, yes! Down in the alien archives, sir! There is an old Army radio console. It's very old, but it should still be in working order."

"Ooooo! I really hope it still works!" Kaminari cringed, given that Simmons said the console was old, it must be ancient by their standards, unintentionally asking the same question Secretary Keller had in response.

'Huh, Las Vegas? Not Mission City? I guess this is one of those pre-production tidbits in our version that made it into the final cut of this version…' Rosa thought as she popped a mint candy in her mouth.

Everyone laughed at Simmons responding that "anything's possible", pointing out what the Allspark did with a bit of charade. The four children especially felt Simmons has somewhat redeemed himself in their eyes after what he did to the heroes of the film.

"He's funny, like Bobby Bolivia…" Kota said, with Mandalay agreeing with her nephew, "Yes, he is pretty funny, like a cartoon character brought to life.

Lennox and the rest of the soldiers and S-seven agents rushed to their vehicles as Bumblebee transformed into his Camero alt-mode, giving out orders, "All right, let's go! Spike, get in the car! Mr. Secretary, get our birds in the air! When we get to the city, we're gonna find a working radio, and I'll have Epps vector them in, okay?"

"Affirmative!" Secretary Keller replied as he, Simmons, Glen, and Maggie rushed to the alien archives in the base.

"It's go time…" All Might said, with Aizawa replying, "Indeed, they have a game plan, but if Hoover Dam was why the Decepticons haven't located the Allspark, then I question them bringing it with them to a densely populated city, like Las Vegas."

"Again, I have to stress the fact that you should really think through the mindset of a soldier, not a pro-hero. The Decepticons have knocked out communications, so they need to get short-wave radios to communicate with the Air Force once Keller mobilizes them. And before you ask, the base doesn't have any mobile radios on hand, otherwise they would take the battle to the Grand Canyon." Izanami explained, making it clear that the military was effectively on the back foot in their battle with the Decepticons.

1:46:05-1:47:00

The scene soon changed to show Megatron's situation, with technicians responding to warnings over the PA with Megatron's cryo-containment failing. The workers and technicians scrambled in a vain attempt to keep the Decepticon tyrant contained, no thanks to Frenzy's sabotage. Megatron continued to twitch and the ice continued to crack.

"Get out of there!" Izuku shouted at the workers around Megatron, "He's going to kill all of you!"

A quick cut to Lennox and the troops going to Las Vegas to acquire short-wave radios to help coordinate the Air Force once they are deployed. He ordered the troops to set a perimeter around Bumblebee with Spike quickly saying Bumblebee has nine allies likely on their way here who could help them.

"Good, now the soldiers will have some backup in the form of giant alien robots on their side now…" Shinzo sighed with relief.

Another cut showed Simmons leading Keller, Maggie, and Glen to the alien archives to call in the Air Force. Everyone felt the urgency of the situation as it is clear Megatron will escape very soon, especially once it cut back to the hangar Megatron had been a prisoner inside for almost 70 years.

Megatron soon freed himself, the ice falling off his form in a cascade of snow and ice. He growled as he grabbed one of the cryo-pumps and tore it apart with absolute ease. The scaffolding around him buckled and fell apart as he moved again, a few unfortunate workers fell off from the scaffolding as he snarled at his captors, his right hand retracted into his wrist as a glowing mace and chain colored a sickening purple. He soon made his proclamation, having decided to let the humans present know who he is exactly as he spoke in the human language with a growl…

"I Am Megatron!"

The film paused while the music still blared, as Present Mic realized that Megatron had a card as well, and he read it, "You heard him folks, this is Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. A former gladiator from the city of Trypticon, he started the civil war that ravaged Cybertron, all in a lust for power and conquest. He fights with such a ferocity that his very name strikes fear in not just the sparks of the Autobots, but also in his own troops as he instilled the Decepticons the philosophy that the strong survive and the weak perish. Rumors persist that Megatron is so brutal to his enemies that he tears out their sparks and consumes them, to explain his deranged violence. He believes that peace could only be obtained through tyranny under his rule, so he will destroy anything that gets in his way. Armed with a fusion cannon powered by a black hole generator, an Energon Mace, and an indomitable will, Megatron is regarded at the mighty lord of the Decepticons, and punishes those who fail him with extreme prejudice…"

"Oh my god!" Ida exclaimed once he heard Megatron's biography, "He's no villain! Megatron is a monster!"

"What a monster!" Mei exclaimed aghast, really hoping Megatron did not actually EAT other Transformers' sparks, imagining a human Megatron doing the same to humans with their hearts, and nearly throwing up at the thought.

Izuku felt his blood run cold once he heard Megatron speak, a chill ran up his spine as he could feel the malice in Megatron through his words (even noting the voice sounded chillingly familiar.) He could somehow tell that Megatron was more of a monster and villain than All For One, especially with his philosophy regarding how to attain peace, and how he views life. It made him feel sick to his stomach, as he was the clear opposite of Optimus. While Prime inspired hope, Megatron inspired fear.

Rosa heard Megatron speak and found something different in his voice, she soon asked, "Hey Izanami, who voices Megatron in this version?"

Izanami looked at her favorite doll and answered, "Same actor in the version you remember, Hugo Weaving. Though he made an effort to sound a bit more like the original Megatron in this version…"

"Hugo Weaving?" Tenya Ida asked, getting over his initial shock at Megatron's villainy.

Sean answered the younger Ida son, "Hugo Weaving is a prominent pre-quirk Australian actor, very famous, and someone you have actually seen before here at the theater or in your world."

"What are his most famous roles?" Toru Hagakure asked, to which Sean answered, "He is most famous for playing these three roles, excluding Megatron in this movie. He played Agent Smith in The Matrix trilogy, Elrond of Rivendale in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films, and finally, one you guys have seen before in this very theater…"

Everyone leaned in and then recoiled as Sean revealed his last role, one they saw in action, "He has also played Johann Schmit aka Red Skull, the leader of HYDRA in Captain America: The First Avenger…"

"Oooooh! No wonder Red Skull looked so familiar! I've seen Agent Smith before!" Kirishima exclaimed, with Tetsutetsu adding, "I remember Elrond too, he was so manly…"

"Oh, now the name and face ring a bell, no wonder Megatron sounded so familiar…" AFO said, remembering seeing some of Hugo Weaving's films.

Toga and a few in the league hated Red Skull and his ambitions, so it was no surprise that by the association of sharing the same actor, they hated Megatron as much as the Nazi super-soldier. They have even more reason to, as odd as it was already, root for the heroes of the movie.

Izuku sighed as his fears were confirmed once he knew now why Megatron sounded familiar. He was, in realities where the films were just films, played by the same actor who portrayed Red Skull, the nemesis of his second-favorite hero. Megatron sounded more unhinged than Schmit, angrier, more bloodthirsty, and he gave off a murderous vibe that made him more of a threat.

Megatron soon wreaked havoc on his former prison. He tore apart machinery and scaffolding apart, tossed debris everywhere, and swung his mace around as it completely destroyed everything it hit. Some people in the hangar ran away for safety, while others bravely tried to fight back by firing guns or the cryo-blasters at Megatron.

They soon saw the soldiers escorting Bumblebee drive along the bottom of the canyon below Hoover Dam, and on top, they see signs of a battle being waged, between Starscream and his two lookalikes, Thundercracker and Skywarp, against some rather primitive robot drones and agents above the plateaus surrounding the superstructure.

"Goodness…there was a battle being waged above the dam…" Cementoss remarked, all the pro-heroes tensing up as they were fearful of the safety of the tourists around and on top of the dam.

All three jet-Transformers stopped for a moment and looked directly at the escaping convoy, Starscream scowled as through his vision, readings were spiking as he zeroed onto the yellow Camero being the source of the readings. He was soon blasted on the back by a missile, then was assailed by more of Sector Seven's attack drones, and blasted at them.

"This explains quite a bit, more than my memories of the version I remember…" Rosa said quietly, as Spike and Mikaela checked on the Allspark in Bumblebee's back seats, earning some chuckles from the audience as the dialogue had the two talk like the powerful artifact was a child they had to look after.

1:47:00-1:47:30

Back in the hangar that Megatron was inside, more Sector Seven agents tried to freeze the Decepticon warmonger again. But, he had other plans in mind as he transformed into an alien jet fighter and took off down a massive tunnel on the other side of his former prison, the force of his takeoff packed such power that the humans trying to flee or stop him were knocked onto their feet, and the theater's upgrades had them feel the powerful gusts first-hand.

"Such power…" Sato commented as Kyoka rubbed her ears at the roar of the jets.

"Not gonna lie, Megatron's vehicle mode is cool as f*ck!" Kamikiri said, with plenty of the students agreeing with him.

Megatron soon flew out of the hole and found himself outside the dam by the river, he flew right at the dam and turned upward as Starscream noticed and flew down to the bottom of the dam. His leader transformed midair and landed with a crunch the concrete buckled and cracked under the force of his landing. Skywarp and Thundercracker noticed as well after dispatching more S-Seven drones, landing behind Starscream, and bowed to Megatron like a king. The audience could see the treacherous envy in Starscream's scowl as he then had, what they assumed was a fake smile, as he spoke in a language the audience could understand…

"Lord Megatron, it pleases me to see you are alright. We live to serve you, master…"

Megatron immediately interrupted Starscream before he could say anything else as he growled, "Where is the Cube, Starscream?"

"A tyrannical leader shutting up his treacherous lackey…" Tokoyami said, with Dark Shadow agreeing with him.

"You can tell by that growl that Megatron means business…he has no time to waste with Starscream licking his boots…" Hawks commented, feeling a chill run up his spine at the dynamic between Megatron and Starscream.

The audience quieted down as they saw Starscream growl quietly as he metaphorically swallowed his pride and answered his leader…

"The humans have taken it, with Prime's little scout helping them out. We were otherwise occupied with their little toys keeping us from freeing you, master…"

"That is no excuse, Starscream! The human toys are pathetic imitations of our might, and you had trouble destroying them?" Megatron interrupted again with a scowl that could kill on its own.

Megatron soon lunged at Starscream and grabbed his lieutenant by the throat as he growled out menacingly, "You have failed me yet again, Starscream. Do not think I didn't know your true intentions were to take the Allspark and leave me to rust in that prison, as you usurp me as leader."

Everyone felt their hearts race as they felt the instinct to flee at the scowl the former gladiator gave his backstabbing lieutenant, they could see the look of fear in the jet-robot's eyes, and seeing someone so menacing already show visible fear at something else made them feel very afraid themselves. Especially as Megatron roared at his pleading lackey…

"YOU WILL FIND THE ALLSPARK AND BRING IT TO ME! OR ELSE I WILL TEAR YOUR SPARK FROM YOUR HUSK, AND FORCE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT AS I CHOKE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU!"

"No! Lord Megatron! Please! My intentions are–! GWAHHH!" Starscream gasped and begged in desperation, the looks of Thundercracker and Skywarp showed them looking away in fear, daring not to draw their master's attention to them.

"How horrible, they could be brothers of Starscream's and they aren't lifting a finger to help him from Megatron?" Ida was shocked at how Megatron treated his followers, even if one sought to usurp him as leader of the Decepticons. Everyone else was equally afraid at how utterly terrified Starscream was when Megatron threatened the Seeker…

"Megatron rules over the Decepticons through blind loyalty, or through fear, with an iron grip that borders on hypocrisy. It matters not to him if his followers genuinely believe in his cause, he would not care in the slightest, to him the Decepticons are solely for the sake of him being lord over everything in the universe…" Sean answered Ida, many noting his words sounded like someone who had a history with Megatron, less of a viewer, and more like an actual enemy he fought against.

Everyone recoiled in fear as Megatron interrupted his general with a roar…

"GET THEM STARSCREAM, OR SUFFER MY WRATH!" Megatron soon threw Starscream against a concrete building at the foot of the dam, shattering the structure. Starscream soon scrambled onto his feet and took off after the convoy escorting the Allspark, not wanting Megatron to destroy him for any delay on his part.

Everyone recoiled and some squeaked in fright at the menacing scowl Megatron gave as he threatened Starscream. The women in the audience felt particularly frightened and cowered as much as they could, a few even clung to their crushes or crush-adjacent as a safety blanket.

Eri clung to Mirio as she whimpered out in tears, "Megatron is really scary, Mr. Lemillion…"

"Don't worry Eri." Mirio comforted the little girl, "Deku and I will protect you from him, right Deku?"

Izuku heard that and focused on Eri, flashing a comforting smile as he said, "Yeah Eri. If Megatron ever shows his face in our world, we will beat him up and defeat him…"

Megatron let out an animalistic snarl like a tiger, as he turned his attention toward an oncoming squad of drones and Sector Seven agents. He clenched his fist with a small metal screech and looked at it. He then let out a dark chuckle as he growled out with a grin, "Retribution…for stellar cycles of imprisonment…"

Everyone slightly panicked once they saw him activate his mace, and his large cannon (everyone assumes it was the "fusion cannon" he was said to have) hum to life as a violet glow shown from the barrel of the cannon.

He rushed to the forces trying to subdue him, then the screen cut to black suddenly, with the sounds of dying screams by humans, making most of the audience recoil in shock at the sound.

"I do not want to know what he did to those agents brave, yet foolish enough to face Megatron…" Mineta commented, shuddering in fear over the anguished cries of murdered humans.

"Agreed…" all the adults and teenagers said in unison.

1:47:30-1:48:15

The prior scene cut to another scene, this time back to Simmons' group as they arrived at the archives' entrance, an old heavy-duty metal door. Simmons pushed it open and the four rushed inside past some really old equipment that made Mei cringe, and…

"Oh f*ck me! It's those crappy computers again!" the support-course student cried out, Tsuyu slapping Mineta for thinking pervy thoughts at Mei's exclamation.

Simmons located the Army radio console and directed Keller to the equipment as the door was slammed shut and locked from their side.

"Come on super old baby. Please work for Mama Hatsume. Don't be like those wanker computers that killed Yinsen…" Mei begged, with her teacher remarking, "Yeah, you need therapy regarding those computers…"

Everyone is on the edge of their seats as Simmons worked in a flurry, pleading to the console for it to work, like he was asking his girlfriend to come closer.

With a toggle of a switch, the Army radio console hummed to life, with Simmons excitedly shouting, "Yes! We're hot! We're live!"

"YES!" all the students cheered, with Mei most especially glad that unlike the computers in Iron Man, the significantly older Army radio console covered in cobwebs and dust worked.

"Now they can call the Air Force to provide backup to fight the Decepticons…" Mina cheered as she wrapped around Kirishima in a tight hug, completely oblivious to her actions. Kirishima briefly noticed but was too excited himself over the radio working.

"I wouldn't celebrate yet kiddies…" Izanami said, "There's one problem they have to solve now before Keller could get the Birds airborne…"

Everyone then turned their attention to the screen, then felt their blood pressure plummet like a stone in a river once Glen asked Simmons…

"Where are the mikes?" Simmons gazed behind him without turning his head as he asked with wide eyes, "Mikes?"

Glen held his hands out in disbelief at the radio as he clarified, "This doesn't work without mikes, Simmons! How could you forget that?!"

"F*CK! That radio is old-school tech, even for them! How in the f*cking hell did they forget the f*cking mikes!" Bakugo growled in frustration, hitting his armrests repeatedly to vent his anger.

"No! How could I forget this thing doesn't work without microphones!" Mei cried out, kicking herself mentally for forgetting that this OLD tech needed microphones.

Aizawa cursed under his breath as he stated, "Dammit, of course, it won't be that easy. But this isn't the time to panic, they have to find those microphones, or find another way to transmit to the Air Force…"

As Simmons growled out in frustration by repeatedly growling out "no", Keller spoke to the group to find the microphones for the console. Simmons ordered Glen to get in the chair he was sitting in as the hacker tried to figure out a workaround to the dilemma.

"If I was there, maybe I could help make a crude microphone to connect with the radio by taking apart some of the equipment there…" Power Loader said as the characters' stress started to affect him and the rest.

"Maybe I could create one myself for them to use…but, the tech's so old, I don't know where to begin in replicating it effectively…" Momo thought aloud, nervously biting her thumbnail.

Once Glen asked the two questions everyone had, Natsuo commented, "I agree, how are they going to get the word out to call the Air Force?"

"Hmm, it's tricky, but I can see an alternative solution given that they can't find the microphones for the Army console, and the material available in the archives…" Nezu said as he rubbed his chin, "…and it seems Miss Madsen reached the same solution I have…"

As Maggie called Glen's name to get his attention, Snipe asked his boss, "Well don't leave us in suspense, boss. What can they do to call the Air Force?"

Nezu replied, "Just watch and listen…"

Maggie said as Glen made a noise in acknowledgment of her calling him, "Can you hotwire this computer to transmit a tone through the radio?"

Everyone's eyes widened at the question, and some of the more intellectual and mechanically minded audience members soon realized what she is suggesting.

"Brilliant!" Momo exclaimed, "If microphones are not an option, using other sounds can work just as well!"

Kamikiri asked the vice representative of Class 1-A, at the same time as Glen word-for-word, "What good is that?"

Maggie soon explained, "Morse code! You can use this computer to transmit through that!"

Once Glen exclaimed he'll do it and rushed as he inspected the computer, everyone soon realized Maggie's plan, and cheered at the solution.

Aizawa smirked as he commented, "Of course! The military is trained to use various codes to transmit messages. Morse code is one of the most fundamental ways to communicate, and it can be used on radio transmitters older than the Army console, and still come out clear. I agree with Miss Yaoyorozu, that is brilliant. And the Decepticons won't know unless they learned how to understand Morse code, giving the humans and Autobots an advantage…"

As Glen told Simmons he needed a screwdriver, Mei sighed out, "Oh okay, it could work, even for a computer as old and outdated as those wankers…"

1:48:15-1:48:44

The scene soon cut to Bumblebee driving quickly down the road, followed by the military convoy on their way to Las Vegas, while also showing the rest of the Autobots driving down the opposite side of the road.

Once they passed each other, Spike pointed out to Lennox and the other soldiers the Autobots driving towards them. The other nine Autobots soon pumped their vehicle modes' brakes and drifted into a U-turn, catching up to the convoy.

"Bumblebee…" Optimus spoke through a commlink, "Thank the Allspark you are alright…"

"That was SO MANLY!" Tetsutetsu and Kirishima roared out with a wide grin plastered on their faces, with Bakugo agreeing, "Hell yeah, that was awesome! In whatever realities where this is just a dumb film and nothing more, those stunt drivers have my f*cking respect!"

Arcee drove up beside Lennox's assault buggy and communicated with a holographic avatar, "So you guys are clearly escorting Bumblebee, and given you haven't fired on any of us, I assume you know about us Autobots?"

"So what's the plan?" Sideswipe asked through the commlinks.

Lennox soon explained a quick summary of their plan, and with the Autobots' help, they have a better grasp of what to do, adding that if they could get the Allspark into military hands, they may chase off the Decepticons from pursuing it further.

"It sounds like a good plan on paper…" Momo thought once she heard the final game plan from Lennox, but she cringed as she then pointed out, "However, I don't think Megatron will give up so easily. He seems like the guy who would stubbornly throw everything in his arsenal to get what he wants…"

Izuku added, "I agree, Yaoyorozu. Megatron gives off the vibe that he's irritatingly stubborn and fixated on his goals…" with others of a more strategic way of thinking agreeing about this plan.

The audience turned to their host and assistants for confirmation, and Rosa answered, "A very accurate guess, there's a couple things wrong with it, but it is a fairly close deduction on how Megatron would approach this plan, and his mindset. But, for now, let's see how it plays out…"

"We will assist you in any way we can. Autobots, form up with the convoy…" Optimus ordered as the rest of the Autobots got into formation with the soldiers as they drove to Las Vegas.

"This is so cool! The Autobots and soldiers working together, can't wait to see them in action against the Decepticons…" Hagakure exclaimed, with the Americans in the audience feeling immensely prideful over their country's soldiers ready to combat evil giant alien robots with good giant alien robots helping them.

But those happy thoughts quickly died down as on another road somewhere, the rest of the ground-level Decepticons were closing in on the Autobots.

"An additional scene?" Rosa wondered, wiping her hands with a napkin as the camera focused especially on Onslaught in his vehicle mode.

Onslaught was driving with the rest of the Decepticons, as he soon had readings pop up on his interface. He then spoke in the Cybertronian language, "{Frenzy, I thought you cut off all communications with the virus?}"

"{I did as you instructed…}" Frenzy replied, to which the tactician responded, ""{The humans are using shortwave radios to coordinate their counterattack. Clever bags of organic flesh, but I already figured out what they plan to do, now the Allspark's readings are out in the open. Find the source of the signal close to your location and eliminate it, they cannot be allowed to call for backup from their air military. Do it Frenzy!}"

"Oh, crap!" Kaminari exclaimed, "They're on to them!"

Everyone was soon worried for Glen, Keller, Maggie, and to a lesser extent, Simmons. Knowing Frenzy will soon reach them in an effort to keep them from calling the Air Force.

"You got to hurry, Glen…" La Brava prayed for her fellow hacker.

1:48:44-1:49:38

Cutting back to the Archives as Sector Seven's base, everyone was relieved when Glen said he was almost done.

But, Mina said, "Why do I have a feeling things are going to get harder than they already are?"

Aizawa replied, folding his hands over his face, "Because the rules of films dictate that things are never this easy, especially since Onslaught ordered Frenzy to silence whoever was trying to send out a message through radio waves…"

Sure enough, the closed door to the archives flexed as something tried to push it open.

In response to Simmons asking what was that, Kyoka replied, "It's a mini-Decepticon saboteur who was responsible for Megatron's escape. What the hell did you think it was?"

Frenzy continued to crash into the door, with all four humans alert, and soon rushed for the door as Keller ordered them to barricade the door.

"A wise decision, as they are nearly finished completing their makeshift Morse Code transmitter, they need time. And they cannot leave the radio, Frenzy will destroy it, and he's blocking their only escape route." Aizawa said, having reached a similar conclusion if he was there, and watching Simmons, Keller, and Maggie push desks and chairs in front of the metal door, while Glen put down some commands on the computer's keyboard.

He soon turned to the students as he said, "It's important you kids note this, especially when you are put into a corner with villains blocking your escape route, and there seems to be no way out, you have to be prepared for a siege until backup comes, or you learn to take the villains down one by one."

The students nodded in compliance as Keller smashed a glass container that housed old shotguns, the look of them gave clues they packed a wallop.

"Those are not pea shooters there…" Snipe commented, "Those are guns designed to kill. A 12-gauge shotgun and a heavy caliber, single shot rifle, otherwise nicknamed the four-boar rifle, designed decades ago as elephant killers, they are not to be trifled with."

Keller handed Maggie one of the shotguns, telling her to put some rounds into Frenzy, and so to the girls' excitement, Maggie soon fired at Frenzy, with Keller soon backing her up in keeping the mini-con away.

"Master search," Glen said as he typed in the last key commands, then the old, dusty computer screen came alive, with Glen soon exclaiming, "I-I got it! We're transmitting!"

"YES! Way to go Glen!" La Brava and Mei Hatsume cheered with everyone whooping for joy.

"Don't celebrate just yet…" Aizawa said sternly, he knew better, "Because Glen said that, now he and that computer are going to be targeted by Frenzy. He was ordered to eliminate them before they could contact the Air Force."

Everyone's cheers fell completely silent at that revelation and soon focused intently on the screen as Keller ran to Glen and told the hacker to send exactly what he says.

When Simmons told Maggie to get out of the way, he pulled off one of the carts used to barricade the door, a flamethrower, and shouted at Frenzy to burn. The act by Simmons made Frenzy recoil and step back, doing it repeatedly with every burst of flame from the weapon.

"This is Defense Secretary John Keller. Get me NORTHCOM commander." Keller said, with Glen typing the keys necessary to translate it into Morse Code. Frenzy noticed and slightly panicked as he shot out his bladed disks at Keller and Glen to keep them from transmitting.

Everyone squeaked or made some alarmed noises as the bladed disks barely missed all four humans, with Simmons forcing Frenzy back from him firing more disks with his flamethrower.

"Whoa! That was a close shave…!" Mirio said, with Nejire saying, "You finally tell a good joke, at the worst possible time. It must be the end of the world…"

Hearing Glen shout out what was that, prompted Mei to reply, "It's a freaking Decepticon trying to make sure that no backup comes to keep that Megatron monster from claiming the Allspark! Stop stalling and continue typing!"

Aizawa said, "Hatsume is right, now's not the time to panic, he has to give Lennox and the Autobots air support."

"Authenticate emergency action. Blackbird 1-1-9-5…" Keller soon said to Glen, getting the hacker to focus, as on the receiving end of the transmission, a young soldier heard the Morse Code and wrote down the message.

He turned his head to his commanding officer, and relayed the message by saying, "Sir, I have an authenticated air strike order from Sec Def."

"Oh, thank god they got word to the Air Force!" Setsuna sighed heavily with relief.

Dabi clicked his tongue in slight disappointment as he said, "Onslaught will not be happy that Frenzy failed…"

"Oh yum, that soldier looks so tasty…" Pixie Bob commented with a blush, with her teammates sighing in exasperation over what she said.

1:49:38-1:50:36

After that, the audience saw the scene cut back to the Allspark convoy, now driving through a busy highway. They panicked once they saw Barricade leading the way with sirens blaring as people who thought he was a police officer started to clear the way, Sweeper and the Stunticons following close behind. They were worried even more so when it was revealed that the Decepticons were on the same highway as the Allspark convoy.

"Oh no! They have got to clear out the civilians on the highway. They're going to be caught in the crossfire!" Ida shouted, his arm chopping the air at light speed.

Ida's fears came true, as Sweeper soon bulldozed his way past civilian drivers, bumping into them and causing them to crash against the barrier separating the roads going opposite directions.

"He hates everything, so this is not too big a shocker Sweeper's such an a*s with ordinary people…" David commented as the Buffalo-disguised Decepticon soon used his mine-sweeping arm to flip a few cars onto their backs as he made a B-line for the Autobots.

The heroes flinched at every crash and crunch of cars hitting each other or the barriers of the freeway as the convoy with their pursuers drove along an extra-wide bridge over a highway interchange.

"No, no, no, no, no." Spike complained as he looked behind the road, with Mikaela asking "What is it?"

"It's the same fake cop! That guy who chased us…" Spike said as Barricade and a few of the Decepticons drove up, with the Stunticons picking up speed and rushing ahead. Spike nervously said as the Decepticons picked up speed, "Block them, block them, block them!"

Everyone grew nervous as the two Stunticons not only had their engines roar loudly at their speed, but then some guns appeared on their vehicle mode chassis, then started to fire at the Autobots.

"Look out!" Ashido squeaked as she hid her face behind Kirishima.

Ironhide swerved enough for the missile fired to hit a streetlight on the side of the bridge and blow it off the structure, then said, "Optimus! We got cons sniffing our tailpipe! It's the Stunticons, Dead End & Wild Rider, firing on us!"

Optimus slowed his speed by applying his brakes, and got behind Ironhide and Ratchet, then ordered, "Maintain heading, Sideswipe, Chromia, and I will slow them down!"

Aizawa nodded and spoke as the two Stunticons slowed down a little for Sweeper to overtake them and rush ahead full throttle, "Optimus has a point, it's important to split off and keep these Decepticons occupied on them and away from Bumblebee and the Allspark."

He leaned forward a little as he said with a suspicious glare, "I find it a little concerning that there are only these four Decepticons when earlier shots showed us more following Barricade. Something tells me this is part of a strategy on Onslaught's part…"

"Glad I'm not the only one who noticed…" Hawks said as Nezu added, "Hmm, seems Onslaught is a more difficult opponent to outsmart than I thought…his description seems accurate so far, but it is too soon for me to confirm as such…"

Izuku had thought himself pretty clever and improvisational in a fight to a fault, but this was a battle in a war, and he knew nothing about the theater of war. He admitted to himself that Onslaught might be able to outsmart him easily if he ever faced the Decepticons.

All For One was thinking similar thoughts, recalling how earlier instances Izuku Midoriya was quite intelligent, and had a knack for strategizing. He wanted to kick himself for not suggesting to Shigaraki to grab Midoriya instead of Bakugo to try and force to join the League of Villains. But, because his league lacked a clear strategist, he would've loved to employ Onslaught into the fold, thinking he would make more fool-proof plans than what they (mostly he) did on their own, and would strike more damaging blows to hero society. Onslaught would be an S-Tier villain easily, even if he wasn't already an alien robot moonlighting as an anti-aircraft truck.

"Hmm, let's see how effective your strategies are, Onslaught. Consider this your interview into the League of Villains…" All For One said to himself quietly.

'Nah, Onslaught wouldn't be bothered to join your puny league…he would find your lot a waste of time and energy…' Izanami thought as she knew what the villain thought.

Soon enough, the camera soon focused on Sweeper as, while still driving at full speed on the road, he transformed into his robot mode. Mei nearly fainted once again at seeing the spectacle of the transformations of the Transformers. With a growl, Sweeper completed his transformation, his feet touched down on the road, with some noticing the part of his foot making contact was what were the driving wheels of his Buffalo mode.

The Stunticons soon picked up speed again as they fired at Optimus, Chromia, and Sideswipe. Optimus transformed going at full speed, slowing down as shifting parts dragged and carved up the road, which allowed him to dodge the bullets and missiles fired upon him by the Stunticons.

"Holy f*ck!" Bakugo grinned, "This is epic as f*ck! Waiting for this makes slogging through all that romance sh*t and the f*cking extras worth it! Tear the Decepticons a new a*shole Optimus Prime!"

All Might was frankly impressed at the composition of the scene, and looking at the youth in the audience, he saw plenty of them either starstruck, drooling with grins, dumbfounded expressions, or any combination of all three. The four children were especially excited to see Optimus Prime (frankly the most heroic of the good guys so far) defeat the bad guys. But dread fills his heart as he remembered, Optimus was a soldier first and a hero second. Optimus has killed before, and chances are high that he'll do so again for this film.

Once Optimus jumped out of the way from two missiles that hit some billboard, the Stunticons went full throttle as Optimus stopped just shy under a higher bridge at the interchange. Then, the black car everyone soon knew was Wild Rider, hit the guard walls in such a way he flew clear from the road and crashed front-bumper first into the overpass' support pillar and completely obliterated it, causing the structure to collapse as Barricade and Dean End raced past Optimus as the bridge collapsed behind them, continuing their pursuit for the Allspark without a scratch. Wild Rider, still in the air and with not a scratch on his chassis, transformed mid-air and used his blasters at full power to launch himself back onto the road past the debris of his handiwork, cackling like a madman all the way. He soon joined his teammates on the other side of the bridge and transformed back to his sports car mode in pursuit of the Allspark, to Optimus' shock.

The audience was speechless, mouths hung wide open, as once again, the Decepticons proved themselves very formidable indeed. The intelligent among the heroes and students racked their brains as they tried to figure out how Wild Rider seemed to have accomplished complex physics equations on the fly to pull off his stunt, truly living up to the "stunt" in the Stunticon name…

Rosa looked really nervous once Mikaela looked back and said "oh my god", as Sean said to her softly, "The way you are tensing up, I would think this was the first time you have seen Transformers, and I know you've seen this film at least 30 times when we were alive…"

Rosa looked at her husband with a glare, and he soon apologized for teasing her with arms raised in surrender. The two soon continued watching with everyone else, right as Sweeper skated towards a distracted Optimus, catching up to a metropolitan bus.

Everyone felt their hearts race faster as Sweeper got closer and closer to the bus, then with a collective shout of surprise, they recoiled when Sweeper tackled and blew the bus in half, the fire of the explosion dancing around his body like a cloak, continuing his pursuit toward Optimus Prime.

"Holy mother–…" Kirishima uttered, his breath caught in his throat as he saw the horrifying, but freakishly awesome scene.

'All those people…either dead or grievously injured…' Izuku thought sadly, alongside Mirio, All Might, and Aizawa (who looked more irritated at Sweeper, than sad for the passengers of the bus…)

"God! That was f*cking awesome!" Shigaraki exclaimed with a child-like glee on his face.

Bakugo growled as he said, "As much as I hate to say it, I agree with the hand-b*s*a*d, that was f*cking awesome!"

Rosa then said, "That was one of the more iconic sequences of the film and in realities where this is all fiction, a behind-the-scenes hallmark of the film's practical and special effects. During the production, the crew had one shot to get that effect right, and managed to get it perfect on the first try. It was a marvel of pyrotechnics, remote control, and timing. You would be frankly amazed at how much work goes behind the scenes to make scenes like this in filmmaking, even in the MCU…"

"I'll say! To pull all that off on practical effects and overlaying the computer-generated effects, the effort must've be monumental!" Midnight exclaimed in both surprise and awe.

1:50:36-1:51:23

In a slow-motion scene, Sweeper got closer to Optimus, the Autobot commander turning around in having noticed the sound of the bus exploding, and turned around quickly enough to face the Decepticon as he was tackled by Sweeper. Sideswipe called out to Optimus the minute the warrior noticed as he and Chromia rushed to assist their commander, as he and Sweeper fell off the bridge they were on to a lower level of the interchange highway.

"OPTIMUS!" Itsuka, Monoma, Ida, Spinner, Toga, Mina, Toru, Shoji, Kyoka, Kaminari, Yaoyarozu, Mineta, Shiozaki, Ochako, Hatsume, All Might, Midnight, Pixie Bob, Kota, Midoriya, Melissa, Twice, Shoto, Fuyumi, Natsuo, Makoto, and Setsuna practically screamed out in shock as Optimus fell with Sweeper at least 100 feet to the lower bridge.

"I can't watch!" Pony, Ragdoll, La Brava, and Nejire screamed as they covered their eyes as quickly as they could.

Soon everyone saw that Optimus and Sweeper land in front of a van screeching to a halt, with a mother and her young son inside, gobsmacked at what they are witnessing.

"Sh*t!" Present Mic cursed, "There are civilians in the crossfire. Heck, there have already been civilians beforehand involved, and it isn't until now we realized it!"

Everyone simply watched in silence at the sheer spectacle that was the fight between Sweeper against Optimus Prime, Chromia, and Sideswipe.

Optimus was sucker-punched in a manner that a bit of sludge splattered on the van's windshield, and once the two titans got to their feet, Optimus launched an uppercut of Sweeper's face, nearly knocking an optic out of the Decepticon's face. The punch pushed Sweeper as Optimus effectively directed the momentum of Sweeper's recoil to the ground level of the interchange. Optimus soon hopped down to pursue Sweeper, with Chromia and Sideswipe quickly following after their leader, with the latter firing a couple of shots, likely to distract the burly violent Decepticon.

Hearing what the boy said to his mom after the Transformers disappeared, made some smirk, some snort a stifling laugh, and others facepalm at that.

Mandalay whispered to her teammates, "That would be Kota 100% in that situation…"

"Cool? You call giant alien robots COOL?! Try mother-flipping awesome!" Setsuna replied once the mother pulled her son close, likely to flee from the car.

Aizawa sighed as he commented, "Despite this being exceedingly reckless for a hero to do, Optimus is a soldier. So, I'll praise him for prioritizing getting this Decepticon away from civilians who have no business in this battle. He at least recognized what he should do first."

He turned to all the students and said, "You kids should note how Optimus handles this situation, when a battle with a villain moves dangerously close to civilians, your first priority is to take the battle away from people. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, keep fighting when civilians could get within the crossfire, or likely to be taken as hostages! Got it?"

The students nervously gulped and nodded that they will heed this advice, Bakugo wanted to argue about it, but he shut himself up, both to not get in trouble and also to note that this rule is mandatory depending on how close the civilians are, the proximity Sweeper was to that mother and son was way too close for comfort.

Optimus soon swung from under the bridge and landed as Sweeper got up onto his feet. With a thud, Optimus landed and said to Sweeper, "I know you have a burning hatred for everything, but it doesn't have to be that way all the time. Surrender, and turn your back on Megatron's warmongering, this conflict is meaningless, and enough lives were destroyed by our war…"

"This is another smart move on Optimus' part, sometimes with some villains, all you really need is to talk them down before they do any more irreparable damage. They could always have a change of heart…" Nezu added, quite pleased that, although a soldier fighting a war, he was at least trying to talk his enemy down from any further bloodshed.

Rosa added her two cents in, "That's why many consider him a paragon among paragons, he's strong enough to be gentle, to show mercy to even his enemies. A trait shared by plenty of the great heroes of fiction, Superman being the chief among them…"

"But Superman killed Zod in Man of Steel, reluctantly granted, but how exactly is he a paragon like Optimus?" Spinner asked.

"Ah, that is the pitfall of superhero films of the 2000s and onward. Most films during those decades, if they get a sequel, usually have problems with contracts where, unsure if a sequel would be made, and further if the actor playing the villain would return to reprise the role, tend to kill off their villains in those movies for the sake of telling stories, and unsure if the actor is willing and/or able to return to the roles. The truth is most of the villains you see in DC and Marvel films don't get killed by the heroes, it is sadly a pitfall to the rows of Hollywood, and the film entertainment business as a whole. And is also one of those sad pitfalls with adaptations, especially in regards to superhero comic book film adaptations…" Izanami explained, that some actually recognized some of those trends in their own world's films when it came to adapting old comic book film adaptations, where villains who normally survived in the source material get killed off in the films.

Sean soon said to redirect Optimus' actions in talking down Sweeper, "There's this phrase that best summarizes the philosophy of what Optimus is trying to do, though I can't quite remember where I heard it from; While it is easy to take a life, you show true strength when you spare a life, even undeserving of it. Or something like that…"

Aizawa remarked with a soft smile, "That is true, as heroes don't kill, it is a show of true strength when you restrain yourself from killing a criminal who rightly deserves it."

He soon frowned as he then said, "But rarely, that restraint isn't an option…"

Sweeper growled as he used his mine-sweep arm and turned it into a clawed steel trap and snapped at Optimus, the Autobot dodging out of the way. The Decepticon replied to Optimus' words, "Never! The only way you will stop me, is to kill me, Autobot! Like those worthless bags of organic filth I had dispatched earlier!"

Something about the hateful tone and choice of words set off almost every hero student, and a few villains. They all agreed in unison…

"That bot is going to die…"

Even All For One felt offended by Sweeper calling him, a human, a worthless bag of organic filth. He, despite wishing Optimus Prime to die, caved in just once to say, "Fine Optimus, I'll let you live long enough to send this Decepticon straight to Hell…"

Izuku felt really conflicted hearing what Sweeper said, as he really wished Optimus will not kill, but he is left with little choice…

"So be it…" Optimus said with finality as an orange, glowing sword transformed from his hand. Sweeper felt the bullets from Chromia's guns and lurched after Optimus hiding behind a support pillar. Once the Autobot commander noticed the Decepticon's intentions, he reacted swiftly without a wasted movement.

Optimus grabbed Sweeper's arm in a hold under his pit, and almost immediately, he swung his Energon sword down and cleaved Sweeper's arm off in a shower of sparks and embers, the Decepticon roared in pain as a consequence. Optimus then let go of the severed arm and cut the mine-sweep arm off as he held the large Decepticon in a chokehold. Optimus then thrust his blade into Sweeper's throat as a bigger shower of sparks and fire shot out when Optimus twisted his wrist.

"Oh god! That was brutal!" Kirishima exclaimed as he recoiled at the violent manner Optimus quite obviously killed Sweeper, rubbing his throat in shock.

Mei was speechless, a look of horror plastered on her face as she saw a Transformer, an evil Transformer granted, but a Transformer nonetheless being brutally killed by another Transformer.

Some of the villains shuddered in fear as they rubbed their necks, feeling the phantom pains of what Sweeper went through at Optimus Prime's hands. All For One, in particular, felt nervous, he could tell that if it is for the sake of peace and all those other ideologies heroes preach, Optimus Prime will not hesitate to end his life…

Before anyone (Ida and Spinner most prominently) could say anything in regard to how Optimus handled this situation, Izanami reminded them, "Remember, Optimus is a soldier first, a commander of an army, fighting a civil war for thousands of years. He tries to uphold his beliefs that line up with what some would attribute to heroism, but he will always do what needs to be done for the sake of peace. Even if that means he has to do the one thing that haunts almost every soldier in a war, taking the life of an enemy combatant. He's no superhero, as some media or fans project him, he's a being with flaws. Remember, he has killed before as a soldier…"

And like that, all those thinking about speaking up and lecturing Optimus Prime about killing someone were rendered mute. They soon realize the have to accept that in a war, casualties are an inevitability, and soon hoped there won't be any on the heroes' side.

Izuku wrote down Sweeper's fate as he thought about seeing Optimus kill someone so brutally. But, he then recalled an odd quirk with media like films and television and depictions of violence in them. As far as robot-on-robot violence is concerned, they can be as violent as they wanted so long as there are no obvious parallels to gore like humans.

Optimus soon pulled and with a *Thunk!, Sweeper's corpse fell on his back, and his severed head rolled in front of Optimus' feet. The Decepticon's beige/brown colors soon faded to grey as the red light in his optics dimmed out. Optimus stepped over Sweeper's leg with a sad look in his eyes as he retracted his blade.

He spoke softly, "May you find peace with the multitude of fallen sons and daughters of Cybertron in the Allspark, I am sorry that it had come to this…"

"Oh Optimus, he even gives his enemies enough respect to apologize for his actions and wishes they have found peace in death. That's so sweet and kind of him…" Mina said, quite touched by his humility.

"Why should he apologize for killing the b*s*r*d, he straight up told him that Optimus would have to kill him!" Bakugo barked out, and Rosa soon replied, "Well, Optimus Prime became a leader because he believes in change through peaceful methods. Any spilled blood to him is an unnecessary loss that could've been avoided. He does kill and is willing to kill for the sake of peace, but that doesn't mean he enjoys it, unlike you, it seems…"

The villains soon felt a chill hearing that, while he may be heroic, Optimus is not a traditional hero, he is a soldier, and soldiers often have to kill when met with resistance. He doesn't enjoy killing and would prefer to avoid doing so if he could help it, but he will not hesitate to do so, like any soldier.

"It's official, don't make an enemy out of Optimus Prime…and do not betray his trust…" Toga said with a nervous shudder, the other villains (except All For One) agreeing.

Sideswipe and Chromia soon landed toward Optimus, and could see he was feeling slightly depressed, but before either of them could check to see if their leader is okay, Sideswipe heard something and shouted "Incoming! Take cover!" and all three Autobots took cover as ten Apache assault helicopters fired at them. Half descended and soon transformed into faceless Transformers and continued to fire upon them.

"You're kidding me?! There are MORE Decepticons?!" Kyoka exclaimed with shock and disbelief, hearing Rosa ask, "Hold on! I thought there were just 14 Decepticons!"

Izanami answered, "Oh, my bad. I never said it was just 14 Decepticons, there are that many 'named' Decepticons in the film, but I didn't clarify that it would just be 14 Decepticons overall."

Sean soon realized aloud, "So, by that logic, there are likely a lot more Decepticons under the pretense of faceless, disposable drones meant to keep the Autobots occupied, like the Vehicons…"

Izanami answered, "Yep, but FYI with no tricks, there are five more drones. After that, these are all the additional Decepticons there are…"

"AKA…" Shoji added as he overheard the conversation, "These additional Decepticons are like the Stormtroopers in Star Wars, made to make the Decepticons seem even more of an overwhelming force than they already are…"

"Who cares, that just means more chances for Optimus and the Autobots to tear those Decepti-b*s*a*ds a new a*shole…!" Bakugo shouted.

Sideswipe said as all three hid behind cover as the airborne drones fired their gatling guns at them, "Man, this has Onslaught written all over!"

"They're trying to divide us from the Allspark!" Optimus said as he fired from his Ion Cannon at the air troops, but missed. Chromia fired and knocked one onto the ground while saying, "Get back to the others Optimus, sir! Onslaught is going to corner them in the human city, he has likely figured out what the plan is…"

"Corner them in the city?" Izuku paled as he heard Chromia say that.

"Oh dear, that would make it so much harder to combat the threat of the Decepticons, even for pro heroes…" Nezu commented, his tail standing rigid, "Onslaught is most definitely an S-Rank villain with that strategic mind of his. He must know military protocols and rules the US Military follow, and plans to use that against them."

All For One felt just a little jealous over his more than impressed attitude towards Onslaught, he knew better than to get the military involved in his various plans, but not once did he think of using their own rules and protocols against them. He was more than impressed with Onslaught on the strategy alone and would hire him in a heartbeat into the League of Villains. But, he could still impress him further with his firepower.

"Go! We got this Prime!" Sideswipe said as he rushed at the drones, Optimus hesitated for a second before saying, "Stay safe, Autobots, and join us when you can…"

Optimus ran in the direction of the rest of the convoy and transformed into his truck form, with one of the ground troops noticing and shouting, "Prime's escaping! Don't let him get away–HURK!"

"Oh no you don't, Decepti-bums! Your fight is with us!" Sideswipe said as he drove his wrist blades through the head of that drone, Chromia quickly firing at the remaining airborne Decepticons and grounding them.

"Dang! Chromia's got reflexes! She nearly is as skilled as Hawkeye with her shots!" Present Mic cheered, and then bumped Snipe's shoulder as he asked, "Think you can pull off those shots Snipe?"

"That quickly with four separate targets? No, my reflexes would have to border on precognition to pull that off…" Snipe confessed, he was thoroughly impressed with Chromia.

Sideswipe asked his teammate, "Wanna bet how many cons we can get in record time?"

"Is he seriously making a wager?! In the middle of a battle?! In an active warzone?!" Ida balked in surprise, his surprise so high his voice went up an octave in pitch by the last question.

"Some soldiers crack jokes to help ease their minds in stressful situations…" Sean answered.

Chromia looked at Sideswipe as she cocked her guns, "Make that wager 200 Shanix and 50 Energon chips, and you got yourself a deal for us taking them down within two Earth minutes…"

"She's seriously taking that bet?! Oh-ho-ho-ho! The balls on Chromia, I like her!" Mina cheered, not caring what the hell "Shanix" or "Energon chips" are.

"Chromia is like a female robot version of Kaminari, except he's nowhere near as cool as her…" Tsuyu croaked, which Kaminari took offense at with a "hey!" echoing in the auditorium (or would if the speakers weren't blaring…)

Sideswipe smirked as he replied, "You're on!" then the two charged at the drones and quite quickly dispatched three of them in one strike, going after the rest as five more drones drove up.

"That was so awesome…" Bakugo said in an uncharacteristically calm voice and a wide grin on his face, the action was so satisfying to him that his normally loud attitude had a slight malfunction, scaring Izuku a little.

"So cool…" Katsuma, Mahoro, and Kota said in unison, permanent smiles on their faces.

Rosa got those enjoying what they see so far by warning, "If you think this is cool, just wait until the scenes after the next one. For most Transformers fans seeing this movie, those aforementioned scenes are the highlight, what they came to see. The Autobots and Decepticons battling it out…"

1:51:23-1:52:18

Bakugo was far too hyped at seeing more robot-on-robot violence to even complain about the scene cutting back to Frenzy fighting the four humans in the archives. In fact, he uncharacteristically commented…

"Okay, let's go you extras! Beat that cheating f*cker midget!"

"Bakugo is actually rooting for the, quote, 'loser extras taking up space'? Who are you, and what have you done with the real Katsuki Bakugo?" Mina joked, which prompted Bakugo to snap back angrily, "Of course, I'm me, Acid B*tch! I know that after this, there will be more Autobot vs Decepticon action, that last taste with Optimus Prime is good enough for me to stomach through more of this sh*t!"

"Hey, Bakugo! I suggest you apologize to Ashido for, what did you call her? Acid B*tch? I have been tolerant to the point of neglect with that cussing of yours, but calling people such rude names will not be tolerated. Do it, before I decide to remove something between your legs for not apologizing…and Ashido, don't be coy and say apology not accepted to irritate the boy, okay?" Izanami spoke out in response, shooting the boy a stare that sent chills up his spine.

Bakugo cringed as he hugged his legs in anticipation like he was going to the bathroom, all the men clutched their legs together like they got nailed in the crotch after hearing that threat. Bakugo, with reluctance on his part, then apologized to Ashido, with the girl tempted to not, but ultimately accepted his apology.

Everyone watched with bated breath as Frenzy seemed to have taken the air vents to infiltrate the room since the door was well guarded. With Simmons commenting on the situation, Pony remarked, "Yeah, not good is right, considering that this guy infiltrated Air Force One…"

Everyone fell quiet and dared not speak a word for several seconds, seeing Simmons and Keller fire at the vents to stop Frenzy, but he crashed through and skitted about avoiding the shotgun fire. Glen and Maggie took cover as the small Decepticon fired at the four, who subsequently took cover. Frenzy used the distraction he caused to take cover himself to ready and arm his weapons.

"Anyone getting The Matrix vibes with this standoff?" Setsuna asked, breaking the silence, with Mina, Kirishima, Tetsutetsu, Ojiro, and Itsuka replying in unison, "Absolutely…"

Everyone shut up once again as they saw the tense shootout, bullets firing and guns cocking. Frenzy shot out his bladed disks again, narrowly missing Glen as he shouted to shoot that mother, he was cut off when the bladed disk stuck itself pretty deep into the concrete, making most on both the hero and villain side gulp at how insanely sharp the disks must be to sink that deep into the concrete.

Hearing Glen shout that the Air Force was responding, made everyone cheer as Frenzy looked shocked in the direction of Glen's voice, and Keller got a lucky shot at the Decepticon's head.

"Yes!" most of the students cheered at Keller landing a perfect headshot, but Bakugo snarled as he remarked as the scene continued to play, "The damn cockroach still f*cking lives! What does it take to kill that f*cker!"

Simmons shouted again as he rolled up a cart with the flamethrower, shouting to Frenzy to burn. It distracted Frenzy mid-launch of a few disks that threw off their trajectory, which made Frenzy growl in frustration over the stubborn humans are. Missing another shot, and facing so many opponents distracted him enough for one of his disks to return to him. Keller and Maggie dodged getting hit by the disk, and because Frenzy was distracted, he noticed the oncoming disk too late as the disk collided with his face.

"Ooooohhh!" everyone exclaimed as they saw the disk take off most of Frenzy's head, leaving just one eye attached to his neck.

Frenzy sputtered and sparked as he recoiled at the damage, he uttered in English, "Oh, sh*t!" and fell to the floor, dead, as the color of his body faded from black and red with silver, to a dull grey.

"Oh, he's finally dead! And by his own attack no less…" Mineta said, trying to hold back laughing, a sentiment shared by most of the audience.

But someone broke the dam, and then the theater erupted with laughter, some laughing so hard they were rolling on the floor clutching their stomachs.

"What a disappointment…" All For One growled, despite the strong start, Frenzy was killed off by his own attack, and to All For One, nothing makes you more worthless in his eyes than that very thing.

Izuku noted Frenzy's death in his notebook, and he confessed after the fact that despite being a frightening villain, the Mini-Con was very entertaining, he was as much comic relief as he was a genuine threat. He struck that perfect balance.

Mei was silent as she saw another Transformer bite the dust, she now found the signs that pointed that a Transformer is "dead" dead, one of the more obvious was the color dulling and fading from their bodies. She mentally had to prepare herself to see more wonderful Transformers bite the dust.

"Yes!" Glen shouted with glee as he looked at the old monitor, "They're sending F-22s to the city! They got backup!"

"Hell yeah! Those Decepti-sh*ts are scrap metal now!" Bakugo roared in excitement, this was the moment he was waiting for, the moment he was told about by Rosa.

This is where the real battle, the final battle, truly begins. And he's not the only one, as most of his fellow classmates showed their eagerness for the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons.

1:52:18-1:52:35

Everyone was silent as the Air Force scrambled and readied for the air strike, the hiss as the cockpits closed up and sealed air-tight got everyone on the edge of excitement. Especially at the choice of music giving everyone the feeling that things had just got serious now.

David Shield said as he gripped his armrests, "The final battle…it's go time…"

All Might merely nodded in silence, his anticipation on edge as well.

1:52:35-1:54:14

The scene soon changed to the city line of Las Vegas, though to Mineta's (and the other class perverts') disappointment, it wasn't the iconic Las Vegas strip everyone thinks of when they hear the city's name.

"Aww, I thought we were going to see the strip…" Kaminari complained, only to get socked in the shoulder by a red-faced Kyoka scowling at him.

Sean replied, "That is actually a common misconception, Kaminari. The Las Vegas strip that everyone thinks of when they hear the city's name actually isn't even in Las Vegas proper, it is located in a smaller community outside of the city, in a sort-of off-shoot city called Paradise. But, because Las Vegas and Paradise are so close to each other, the strip with all the resorts is often the major tourist destination of the city it isn't even a part of, property speaking…"

"Plus, considering where Hoover Dam is located. It does make sense if the outer edges of the city they reach wouldn't be close to the strip." David added, a little relieved for the childrens' sakes to explain why, in general about the city.

They soon see the soldiers and Autobots in disguise waiting outside a shop called Rhonda's Loan Center.

"Oh boy, a pawn shop?" Awase commented with a cringe, "Why do I feel like the radios they are going to use are going to look REALLY dated even for this time…?"

Mei resisted the urge to groan at more old technology, as she realized that thanks to Onslaught's strategy, they are forced to use old-school tech, it was all they got. The situation was clearly so dire, that she did something quite unexpected…

"Please o' Tony Stark, God of Technology, let these old babies work and not conk out at the worst possible time…" Mei prayed, slightly freaking out those who are familiar with the inventor's overall personality.

Lennox came out with, they assume they were the shortwave radios they needed to contact the Air Force, because even the tech-savvy among the audience thought these radios were more like black-colored bricks. Legit building bricks with how large and cumbersome they looked.

Lennox handed the bricks to Epps as he asked what he was supposed to do with these, and his captain replied to use them, as that's all they got…

"Goodness! HOW old ARE those radios? Are they from the stone age? They look ancient, even by that year's standards!" Kaminari exclaimed in pure shock, he didn't think they were radios in the first place, as they looked like freaking battery packs for the actual radios.

"Sheesh! Those belong in a museum, their value lies in the fact they are antiques because I am dead serious when I say those radios belong in a museum…" David recoiled, with Compress hearing that and agreeing, as he had once seen those exact radios in a museum once.

"Hey Power Loader-sensei, what's the range for those specific radios?" Izuku asked the Support-course teacher but was open for anyone to answer if they can.

Power Loader thought about it after giving the radios a good hard look, then answered, "My best guess is that their maximum range is somewhere in the high hundred or so yards."

After hearing Epps call the radios, "Radio Shack dinosaur radios" as the convoy drove through the city, everyone had to agree with a nervous chuckle as they gave their own comments.

"Dinosaur radios seem very accurate, they look very old." Setsuna nervously sweated.

"Good god, they look like they are practically extinct like the dinosaurs…" Jurota chuckled with sweat dripping from his forehead.

Sero shook his head as he wished, "I hope they don't catch fire suddenly, like those Segway things…"

When Epps said he was only going to get 20 or 30 miles from the radios, Power Loader corrected himself by stating, "Oh, I was mistaken, that is an excellent range for those types of shortwave radios. For them to have that kind of range, they must be a high-quality kind of radio…"

"Again, I repeat, those radios belong in a museum. That range is exactly the kind that are in museum displays have." David said as Epps spoke on the radio asking if there are any F-22s orbiting the city.

Everyone felt some relief when three of the iconic jet fighters soared overhead. But a few felt something was off, there was definitely something wrong about an otherwise hopeful scene.

Izuku was one of these few, the hairs on the back of his head standing on end as he felt, something that thanks to prior hosts, he believed was something like a Spider-Sense.

'This feeling of danger…those jets are Decepticons…' he thought as Epps pointed them out at 12:00.

"Twelve o'clock? Is it noon at that time?" Kirishima asked, which Sean answered for the hard head and anyone else wondering, "It's a different term that is different from time, Kirishima. Saying something is 12:00 ahead is another, snappier way of saying something is straight ahead. It is often used by the military to give directions, a quick rundown on how to use the terms the military is to think of your body as the center of an analog clock, straight in front of you is 12:00 at the top or North, straight to the left is 9:00 West, to the right is 3:00 East, and behind you is 6:00 South. In conjunction with other directional instructions makes giving directions harder for enemies listening in from determining your direction some of the time."

"Oh cool! That's so manly, I have got to try that out one of these days!" Kirishima excitedly exclaimed, with plenty of the other students eager to try it out as well.

"All right, here's the plan. I want planes for air cover and get Black Hawks on station to extract that Cube the Decepticons are after. You got it? Hearing about this Onslaught character in their ranks is telling me he's bringing the fight to us so we have to get the Cube into military hands here. We keep their focus on us while they get the Cube to a more fortified location to prepare for a siege…" Lennox relayed to Epps as the convoy slowed to a stop in the street amidst panicking civilians.

"It's a solid plan, assuming Onslaught hasn't fully figured out their strategy…" Itsuka wondered, nervously thrumming her hands together.

Aizawa and Hawks both joined Izuku in the 'something is not right' crowd, with the former stating, "That isn't the Air Force. They would've hailed Epps' call immediately. That jet is one of the Decepticons…"

Nezu sighed with a frown as he replied, "I knew from the beginning. This only makes things more difficult for the Autobots and humans, the Decepticons could overhear things and likely use their plan against them…after all, we did see three Decepticons prior take on the forms of the F-22…"

Once everyone heard the two state their facts and observations, everyone was really worried about who among the three known Decepticons that have F-22 Raptors as alt-modes was flying overhead.

Pony asked, "It's so unfair the Autobots are grounded, is there any Autobot that can assume an aerial vehicle or already has one to even the odds?"

Rosa answered as the convoy stopped in the middle of the street, "There are Autobots who take the form of aerial vehicles called the Aerialbots, but my guess is that they are currently unreachable in this film. And as for assuming a new alt-mode, while they could do so easily in this film, generally it takes a lot of concentration and energy for a Transformer, especially an Autobot, to scan a new vehicle mode. There are other limitations, but that is irrelevant at the moment…"

"Air Force has arrived! Pop smoke!" Lennox ordered and green smoke soon surrounded the convoy, Epps used the radio and relayed an inquiry, "Raptor, Raptor, do you copy?"

"We have you visual. Green smoke is the mark. Provide air cover and vector Black Hawks for extraction." Epps continued to relay through the radio, the air was thick with tension as the rest of the soldiers got nervous at the lack of response.

"Oh, man! I can't take this tension!" Sato said as he started wolfing down his red velvet cupcakes out of nervousness.

Izuku felt his heart race, beating faster as he knew what was coming. Either Starscream, Thundercracker, or Skywarp will attack the convoy.

In another part of the city, Onslaught in his truck mode heard the conversation and remarked to himself, "Predictable. A solid attempt, humans, but woefully, it's going to fail. Starscream, attack the convoy and extract the Allspark…Brawl, Swindle, Dead End, and Wild Rider, move in for the kill…"

Starscream flew below the skyline as he chuckled to himself, "I read you loud and clear, humans…"

"Sh*t!" Hawks cursed, "I knew it, but against my better judgment, I was hoping that the three F-22s were the Air Force…"

Hearing Ironhide shout out as he transformed that the jet was Starscream, Arcee added that she spotted Thundercracker and Skywarp as well, which made everyone intensely nervous, especially at Onslaught relaying orders to the other Decepticons.

Hearing Epps plead nervously that the jet he saw understood him and still hearing no response had everyone grip their seats as tightly as they could in anticipation. All For One simply smirked as the heroes looked helpless as the Decepticons closed in on the convoy. He was very impressed with Onslaught and waited to see if his firepower could be backed up as much as his strategic intelligence.

Ironhide in robot mode told everyone, "Back up! Take cover! Bumblebee, help me hoist this thing up!"

The citizens panicking in the streets over the communications blackout, soon had another thing to panic about as they screamed and ran away from the Autobots. Both Ironhide and Bumblebee then lifted a large delivery truck at an angle to serve as a barrier to the oncoming assault.

"Hey! That truck has Furbies on it! I remember those things, kinda creepy if you ask me…" Kirishima exclaimed, but no one really paid any attention.

"No, no, no, no, no! Move!" Lennox shouted as he and the rest of the convoy scrambled to prepare for the oncoming attack, one soldier shouting "Retreat! Fall back!" indicating how severely unprepared they were for Decepticons taking the form of their military vehicles.

"Hit the deck!" Present Mic shouted out of impulse, with some of the teachers, some of the students, and a few villains got out of their seats and crouched behind the seats in front of them.

They soon saw that Starscream, joined by Thundercracker and Skywarp, fired upon the group with missiles. Quite a few hit the truck hoisted up by Ironhide and Bumblebee, and the blast knocked the two off their feet and tumbled away, crashing into nearby buildings.

The explosions were deafening, and the air in the theater felt hazy like dust was kicked up from the explosions, making a few of the audience members cough, like they were actually on the battlefield in the movie.

"Dammit!" Izuku coughed, slamming his fist onto the armrests, "They couldn't get the Allspark outside the city, and now as Onslaught has planned, they are going to fight with innocent people in the crossfire!"

Seeing the convoy get to its feet after getting knocked down, everyone noticed the camera focus on Mikaela and Spike. They soon heard Longarm curse as he said his T-Cog was jostled and he was stuck in his vehicle mode.

"Wait!" Melissa wondered, "Ironhide and Bumblebee took the brunt of that assault along with their makeshift barrier. What happened to them?"

Everyone soon got worried, and their worry didn't disappear once one soldier shouted, "Anyone hurt? Everyone okay?" and another shout, "Clear the area!" as the convoy recovered from being knocked off their feet.

1:54:14-1:55:01

"Oh no! Bumblebee!" Mei practically screamed as tears flowed down her cheeks, a sentiment shared by almost everyone as soon as they saw the Autobot scout had lost his legs in the attack by Starscream and his two lookalikes.

"Oh my god!" Ochako gasped, hands clasped over her mouth in shock.

"No…Bumblebee's hurt…" Eri whimpered out, with Mirio trying to comfort the little girl as much as he could.

Everyone saw Bumblebee as he stumbled and crawled to a more open space, they could see him groaning, and writhing in pain, his body twitching as they could see just how much it must hurt for Bumblebee to even move.

Melissa hugged her father tightly, sobbing a little as she couldn't bear watching Bumblebee hurt and in pain. David hugged his daughter back, trying to soothe her, while fighting down the desire to curse at not being there to do something for the scout.

All For One wanted to taunt the heroes, but a bone-chilling scowl from Izanami forced him to keep his mouth shut. It infuriated him, especially as the rest of the villains felt immense sympathy for the yellow Autobot, they were concerned about the young warrior's well-being, especially when Spike called out to Ratchet or Longarm to come over immediately.

Lennox and several soldiers took cover behind the rubble immediately after, readying for another sweep from the Decepticon jets. He turned to Epps and said after pushing him in anger, "What the hell was that?"

"Simple, Starscream and his fellow jets fired upon you guys to get the Cube for that scumbag, Megatron…" Setsuna replied to Lennox.

"What are you talking about?" Epps replied to his commanding officer, which he rebounded back, "What do you mean, what am I talking about? They shot at us!"

"Those were Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp," Arcee added with a frustrated growl as she reprimanded herself, "I should've known that the cons would still take advantage of their aerial superiority…"

Epps added by stating to Lennox, "F-22 pilots would never fly below buildings in a city unless it's for an air strike, not an extraction. That's alien! That ain't friendly!"

Kirishima asked, "Is that true?"

Makoto answered, "Partially, I can't quite remember the Air Force's protocols, but I am certain there's a rule that pilots follow regarding flying close to buildings, or the skyline of skyscrapers…"

"You got to get up. You're okay. You're okay, Bumblebee." Spike said as he stayed facing the crawling Bumblebee, guiding the scout.

"{*The pain!…it hurts so much!…I wanna die, it hurts so much!…*}" Bumblebee replied to Spike using radio clips as he groaned in agony and crawled forward.

"Stand back!" Ratchet shouted as he ran up beside and inspected Bumblebee's legs, "Bumblebee, stop moving! I can't operate while you're moving!"

Recovery Girl said, "Ratchet's right, so a medical professional could conduct treatment, you have to remain still. It is hazardous for both the patient and the operator if the patient is still moving."

"Poor Bumblebee…" Momo cried out softly, feeling hurt at seeing Bumblebee hurt, it tore her up inside once she heard the scout use the radio to describe his pain.

"Bumblebee! You have to stop so Ratchet could repair your legs!" Ida shouted at the scout, something about this reminded him of his older brother Tensei Ida, the original Ingenium.

Bumblebee continued crawling, replying to Ratchet, "{*Can't stop…Got to get…the Cube…!*}"

"The Allspark?" Pony asked, with Yui replying, "It couldn't be anything else…"

"Army Black Hawk inbound to your location. Over." a voice called out over the radio Robert Epps was holding. Then up in the sky, two helicopters flew over another section of North Las Vegas, with Epps calling to the pilots, "Alpha 2-7-3 degrees, 10 miles. November Victor 1.2 clicks north. Over."

"Looks like they got some aerial support now," Shoji commented, "Those Black Hawks are what will extract the Allspark and get it into the military's hands. Hopefully, they could get Megatron and the Decepticons to back off long enough for the Autobots to get a hold of it. Even if, it is long enough for Optimus to destroy the Allspark…"

Everyone was still very upset over Bumblebee losing his legs, but they were a little relieved that one part of the Autobot/Human alliance is underway. But, someone had to open their mouth…

"Wait! What about Onslaught's order to some of the Decepticons to go in for the kill?" Kaminari asked, which was met with everyone's worries skyrocketing.

Kyoka punched his shoulder hard and snapped at her (maybe boyfriend…?) friend, "Do you EVER shut up, Jamming Yey!"

1:55:01-1:55:50

-[Play "Devastator" - Transformers: The Complete Score]-

Everyone jumped in shock as the sound of a huge cannon firing grabbed their attention and that of the characters on-screen. And sure enough as the music picked up the pace, everyone saw a large green tank fire and roll up to the convoy, rolling over and crushing parked cars under its weight…

"Brawl…" Izuku cursed under his breath the name of the Decepticon, "Arguably the toughest and strongest of the Decepticons…"

"He will be a difficult opponent to bring down…" All Might added to Izuku's statement unknowingly, "If his description is accurate…"

Soon enough, passing Brawl was Swindle and the Stunticons, with Jazz and Ratchet driving up to handle the Decepticons.

Swindle transformed into robot mode in front of Brawl as the two Stunticons transformed as well…

"Alright, you grease buckets! Arm up and take them down, these beauties are going to cost you for what I had to do to acquire this merchandise…" Swindle said as he tossed to Dead End and Wild Rider, two very mean-looking firearms. The arms dealer then rolled away to be behind his fellow Combaticon, and provided cover fire.

"Oh god…he sounds just like a swindler salesman, the same kind I arrest from time to time…" Tsukauchi growled, being all too familiar with this brand of criminal.

All For One smirked, finding Swindle a particularly valuable potential recruit, finding his ability to get any weapon and that portable storage space of his. Oh, the thoughts that danced around his head at how he would use Swindle's skills and equipment to his advantage.

Lennox told the soldiers to get moving and the surviving buggies drove up to confront the Decepticons.

"Onslaught definitely knew what he was doing to corner the Allspark convoy…" Nezu thought aloud, "If he tried something similar to our world, frankly all the options I could think of to combat this threat without any innocent casualties…all involve the battle being waged inside the city. Even a small army of pro-heroes would be barely enough to keep the Decepticons at bay, with no chance for any pro-heroes to create an escape route…"

Aizawa growled as he confessed, "Without any further backup, how long the F-22s will take to provide air cover, the Black Hawks necessary to extract the Cube, Longarm and Bumblebee being out of commission, and Optimus, Chromia, and Sideswipe miles away. *sigh* Frankly, the best chance to accomplish their mission is to stand and fight against the Decepticons, I can't think of an alternate plan at the moment…"

"And that's excluding the fact that the Allspark is practically indestructible to us, so we can't destroy it there…" All Might clenched his teeth tightly, trying not to be negative over the apparent sh*tty situation the heroes find themselves in, "…Hopefully the Autobots will prevail in this battle…"

In the scene after Lennox, Prowl, and the soldiers charged at the Decepticons, Spike ran off as he narrowly avoided getting hit by an artillery shell from Brawl, making the audience brace and recoil over how narrow the shot was in killing the boy.

"God! That was WAY too close!" Ectoplasm exhaled in relief.

"Anyone there? Help! I can't move…" shouted a voice, to which Mikaela turned her head to see the voice coming from Longarm, stuck in vehicle mode, and the undercarriage sparking. Looking in the direction of the soldiers, Mikaela rushed over to Longarm.

Having tumbled to avoid getting hit by Brawl's shells, Spike propped himself to a sitting position and looked at Bumblebee, saying to the yellow Autobot, "I'm not going to leave you, Bumblebee…"

"Loyalty to his friend and guardian…" Tokoyami remarked amidst his female peers cooing at the touching display of friendship Spike quickly developed with Bumblebee.

"We won't leave you either, Bumblebee…" Mina added to Spike's statement, with all the other girls agreeing with her.

Aizawa remarked with a low tone, "While that sentiment is commendable, it cannot take priority over what needs to be done. And that is getting the Allspark out of Decepticon hands…"

Bumblebee looked at Spike for a moment, then looks down to the ground, picked up the Allspark, and handed it to Spike, saying through the radio "{*They need to be stopped…no matter the cost…our hope…rests in your hands…Spike…*}"

Izuku felt especially connected to Bumblebee after he said that. And seeing Spike look at the Allspark, he can't help but feel that if he was in Spike's place, he will be resolved to see this through. He will not let the Decepticons exterminate humanity, and then enslave the rest of the universe and all the innocent people on those countless planets.

Right at Ironhide rushing to face down Brawl, Izuku said, "I will do it, if I was there, I will do what I have to, to keep Megatron from enslaving the universe…"

Hearing that, Mirio, Momo, Itsuka, Setsuna, Monoma, Ida, Uraraka, Kirishima, Tetsutetsu, Jurota, Tokoyami, Bakugo, Kyoka, Kaminari, Ashido, Tsuyu, Shoto, Amajiki, Nejire, All Might, and Nezu all agreed with him.

"Yeah, Deku. The Autobots will stop the Decepticons, and I would help out too…"

"If my speed could help in the endeavor to save the planet, you could count me in as well…"

"I will not let anyone die, so consider me onboard…"

"I as well Midoriya. I will not let them get away with Megatron's plan…"

"Hey Deku, you can count me in as well! I'm sure I could give those Decepti-creeps a hard time with my quirk. If I had it, that is…"

"Like f*cking hell, I will let those pieces of sh*t-metal f*cks get away with their crazy plan!"

A few of the villains (primarily Toga, Twice, Spinner, Gentle, and La Brava) all chimed in, "We don't want that Megatron jerk to win, so you could count us in as well…"

All For One growled to himself in bitterness, not liking how swayed his pawns are by Optimus' virtues, fearing that Prime and Captain America together might have formed his own future Starscreams, his own backstabbing traitors…

'With that mentality, it is very clear why Izuku Midoriya is the hero protagonist of his world…' Izanami smirked at the frustration All For One had…

1:55:50-1:56:39

"Let's go, Ironhide! Kick Brawl's a*s!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu roared as the weapons specialist charged at Brawl as he continued firing, the Autobot swerving and dodging the artillery shots as the gruff warrior soon shouted "You're mine, Brawl!" and converted from truck to robot in a spectacular slow-motion scene.

"Slow-motion, Michael Bay likes using it quite a bit in his films…" Rosa commented, she had a poker face of indifference, the face of someone who had seen this plenty of times before with somewhat mixed feelings.

In the middle of his transformation, Ironhide leaped over a couple of missiles fired by Swindle, his arm cannons forming as he was nearly vertically oriented.

To keep up his momentum amidst his somersaults, he fired his cannons directly under him to the ground, continuing his momentum over in a flip from over the perspective of a woman in a blue dress.

"Oh damn! I have got to try that sometime in the future!" Bakugo exclaimed with a grin as wide as the Grinch's infamous smile.

Izuku was furiously writing and sketching down Ironhide's moves, thinking, 'I never thought about using the forces from a concentrated blast could be used in such a manner to dodge and could be used to get closer to an attacking enemy. Wait, Wild Rider did the same thing earlier. This is inspirational, like Kacchan said, I have got to try this with One For All. I am certain I could replicate the effect using Full Cowling and Air Force…'

"Why is that woman just lying there out in the open? She's gonna get creamed, or blown to bits if she doesn't move!" Ojiro commented as the woman screamed as Ironhide sailed over her head as he did another jumping diving roll.

"Probably got so overwhelmed by the Autobot/Decepticon battle she froze like a deer in headlights. It sometimes happens when someone gets so overwhelmed they freeze in their tracks. People like that in villain attacks usually end up as hostages…" Momo thought, throwing her two cents in as she thought about how she could replicate Ironhide's move, right as Ironhide himself groaned as he tumbled forward.

Jazz drove up as fast as he could as Ratchet split off to flank the Decepticons, he drove up to Brawl and transformed in the air as he landed on the green tank and said as he pulled the torrent to the side, "Come on, Decepticon punk!"

Swindle backpedaled to not become a target as Brawl transformed himself while Jazz was still on his person. As he transformed, Brawl tried to knock Jazz off as the Autobot lieutenant broke off missile pods off his side.

"Get off me!" Brawl growled out in a voice comparable to a gruff, burly bully as he managed to grab Jazz's leg and threw him into a building's brick wall, humans fleeing and cursing in fright.

"Oh, crap!" Kaminari exclaimed after noticing all the weapons Brawl had on him, "I knew he would be armed, but I didn't think he would be that armed!"

Once the scene cut back to Ironhide, everyone was frankly impressed by the dodge the gruff, scarred warrior pulled off, jumping and spinning as he loosed two shots at Brawl.

"F*ck, Ironhide continues to grow as my favorite Autobot!" Bakugo grinned like a madman, finding one more trick to try out, unaware that Midoriya was thinking the same thing.

"I agree Baku-bro! He's so manly!" Kirishima cheered, and Mina giggled at her friend's continued obsession with manliness.

The missiles hit their mark on Brawl as both Ironhide and Prowl took on Wild Rider and Dead End. Jazz recovered and slid across Brawl and fired at him, Prowl additionally providing cover by blasting in Brawl's face some shots from his shoulder-mounted cannons. Ratchet jumped as high as he could, a buzz saw forming from one of his hands and Brawl tried to block the oncoming attack once he noticed. But, with the precision of a surgeon, Ratchet cut Brawl's right arm clean off by the elbow joint, the severed appendage crashing into the ground over Brawl's roars of anger.

"Oooo!" Everyone recoiled once they saw how easily Ratchet cut off Brawl's arm, with someone saying, "Well, he's disarmed for the moment…"

Most of everyone turned to the owner of those words, Mirio Togata. Nejire and Amajiki looked at their friend as Nejire said, "Togata, not the best time for a pun!"

"Yeah man, that was so not funny…" Kirishima added.

Mei was more fascinated with how quickly Ratchet's saw was at disarming Brawl, commenting, "Ooo! That is a wonderful baby. A saw that can separate metal even armor-piercing bullets won't dent or puncture. What is it made of…?"

Izanagi answered in a blunt tone, "It is less the metal alloy of the saw and more so the precision of Ratchet that accomplished that feat. However, the alloy is a special metal that is three times stronger than titanium, commonly found on the surface of Cybertron. The purpose of the saw is medical, mostly for surgery and in amputation, but as you could see, it is an effective weapon if you know where to strike, generally like any armor, there are weaknesses within the gaps between plates. My sister frequently states that the most effective killers are ones with a medical professional's knowledge, because they know where to strike to kill someone with certainty…"

Everyone cringed at the idea of hearing what Ratchet's tool was usually used for and seeing it in action. A few in the audience (particularly Izuku and Aizawa) rubbed their arms as if they were the ones the medic amputated.

"Yeeash!" Twice flinched, "Never mess with the medic in the army, they're no pushover…"

1:56:39-1:57:32

-[Play "You're a Soldier Now" - Transformers: The Score]-

"Concentrate your fire!" Lennox ordered as all the soldiers fired upon Brawl.

"A smart idea when bringing down a tough opponent," Aizawa commented, putting himself in the mindset of a soldier when imagining the situation the Autobots (predominantly Ratchet, Arcee, and Jazz) and humans found themselves in, "Enough shots in a small enough target area could bring even the most sturdy individuals down, especially if they target gaps between the armor plates."

The children and teenagers cheered as Brawl was pelted by shots from the soldiers and Autobots. Arcee managed to land quite a few good hits where the soldiers struck with their weapons, and succeeded in bringing Brawl down.

"Yes! The tank is down!" Pony cheered loudly, grabbing Setsuna and Kinoko into a hug, as the scene soon showed Onslaught joining the fight by taking cover behind one of the buildings.

"Hell yeah! F*ck you, Decepti-sh*t Brawl, that's what you get for siding with those losers!" Bakugo roared as he generated mini-explosions in his palms in excitement.

"Don't count your chickens just yet, my students…" Nezu warned as those who were cheering while Mikaela broke Longarm's car window and helped him startup by hotwiring his car circuits, "This battle is far from over, Brawl may be down, but he is not out yet, especially when the king of this chess match has yet to step into the ring…"

Before anyone could ask what the chimera meant, the answer soon became obvious when something big crashed down in an alleyway near the battlefield.

"Oh, sh*t! It's Megatron!" Mineta and Kosei exclaimed at the same time.

Their fears skyrocketed when along his silvery, gun-metal paintwork, there were tiny splotches of dark red along his feet and hands. They didn't need to be told what it was, especially when the camera focused on his satisfied grimace as he soon left the alleyway.

Once Megatron entered the convoy's view, the Autobots visibly panicked at the sight of their long-lost nemesis, Ratchet shouting out an order as Jazz aimed his weapon at Megatron, "Scrap! It's Megatron, fall back!" Jazz added while trembling a little, "Go! I got this!"

That really didn't alleviate the fears in their hearts as Momo commented with a fearful whimper, "The Autobots…they're scared of Megatron, even Ratchet and Jazz sound afraid…"

All For One would normally be very pleased to see the heroes in the film, and watching it, look so utterly terrified, but he harbored immense jealousy at Megatron. He barely did anything worth the hype so far, and he already cemented himself as a genuine threat. It didn't help that he knew that Megatron would have no interest in serving him. In fact, AFO is almost certain Megatron would overthrow and destroy him if given the chance, or crush the League of Villains wholesale.

"Come on, Optimus…where are you…" Izuku pleaded, fearing that one of the Autobots is going to die, especially when Jazz bravely pointed his weapon at Megatron as he came through.

Ochako felt really scared as she heard the Decepticons roar in victory, shouting "All hail Megatron!", she tightly gripped Izuku's shirt as she whimpered, "Come on, he can't win, he cannot! Please Optimus…"

Lennox shouted out to everyone to fall back amidst the fleeing civilians caught in the crossfire, tripping over themselves as they ran for their lives. Nezu sighed as he confessed to himself that Megatron might be the biggest obstacle in his theoretical challenge. What he is able to guess based on the information provided, he could tell that Megatron had a charisma, a presence, that made many Decepticons rally behind him, and with the Decepticons emboldened and the Autobots intimidated, Megatron is clearly a force to be reckoned with.

Everyone soon panicked as, once Jazz fired a shot that bounced harmlessly off of Megatron's armor, he used his fusion cannon and fired at the ground. The blast rocked the theater at the power behind the blast, especially when the force alone made Jazz tumble back and groan in pain. Soon enough, Megatron activated his flying capabilities and grabbed Jazz as he flew off, dragging the Autobot along the side of skyscrapers.

"Those attacks did nothing, and he sent an Autobot to the ground in pain from the shockwave of his blast alone…" Jurota uttered with sweat forming on his brow.

"After seeing that, I don't think calling Megatron an S-Tier villain seems appropriate. Kind of an understatement of how dangerous he is…" Present Mic winced, with Nezu adding, "I might have to agree with you, Hizashi. Megatron would definitely be public enemy number one in our world, wanted dead or alive in practically every country on Earth. He would honestly be considered the number-one villain of all time back home…best guess using some more traditional ranking systems in Japan, Megatron might be considered an X-or-Z-Tier villain…a global threat that is a top priority target to bring in, or put down…"

AFO continued to harbor jealous feelings toward Megatron, but the villain couldn't help but admire him. Had he not been handicapped by All Might, he certainly would've tried to use Megatron's tactics in rallying and forcing troops into line. But, he won't lie that Nezu's comment stung a little, where even his protege in Tomura reluctantly agreed with the chimera.

As Lennox ordered to get the other troops out of the way and out of harm's way at the Stunticons and Swindle firing upon them, Bakugo roared in frustration,

"Where in the f*cking hell are Optimus, Sideswipe, and Chromia! What the f*ck's taking them so long to get on the battlefield!"

Izanagi answered, "Most films have some events happening concurrently. But it isn't the case here, Optimus, Sideswipe, and Chromia are four miles out of the city's limits, however, the distance isn't the only reason they are taking so long. The Stunticons have caused significant damage to the roads chasing after the convoy, there are several stretches where Optimus had little choice but to move on by foot in robot mode. Add on top of being ambushed by more teams of Decepticon cannon fodder, and his arrival would be greatly delayed…"

Everyone's worries intensified, figuring that the delay might be long enough, for someone to die. Seeing Lennox's team helping the Sector Seven troops injured and carrying them to safety after fishing them out of the flipped-over buggies.

"Given that backup is increasingly unlikely, they need as many able-bodied men available to fight against the Decepticons. Especially when Megatron entered into the fray…" Aizawa commented, gritting his teeth a little in frustration at the sh*tty situation this group found themselves in, especially when Lennox said that they needed air cover now.

Spike continued to stare at the Cube once Bumblebee used all the strength he could muster to sit upright, only to flinch at the sound of a truck driving up fairly close beside him. He looked and saw it was Longarm, and Mikaela was driving him.

Once Mikaela stepped out of Longarm, she walked up to Spike and said, "Spike, help me with this, we're getting Bumblebee out of here with Longarm's help…"

"Oh! Since Longarm is a tow truck, he kinda serves as a stretcher, kind of, for Bumblebee. He's really a sitting duck with his legs blown off…" Awase remarked, with most of Class 1-B and some in Class 1-A cheering.

Aizawa commented, "It makes sense to get the wounded out of the battlefield, Bumblebee with his legs, and Longarm cannot transform…"

"Bumblebee also cannot transform into his Camero alt-mode because it was compromised. His legs formed the entire rear section of the car, and as such, has disabled his ability to transform…" Rosa explained, which made everyone upset over the unfortunate circumstance Bumblebee found himself.

"I'm worried about Jazz…" Kyoka said, Rosa wincing at Kyoka's worries, the very likely possibility she hopes against, she really hopes Jazz in this version doesn't meet the same fate as Jazz in her version…

1:57:32-1:57:47

Megatron flew to the top of a tower on the side of one of the building complexes, with the Autobot's lieutenant in his grasp. He landed with Jazz under his feet like a bird of prey, the Autobot groaning in pain as the strain of Megatron's weight crushed him underfoot.

Still, through the pain he felt, Jazz defiantly remarked to the Decepticon tyrant, "That all you got, Megatron? I'm still alive!"

'Oh no…I know what is about to happen, and I really hoped that in this version he survived…but, I guess not…' Rosa lightly gasped as her memories of this scene replayed vividly in her mind, crestfallen that it remains largely unchanged, the outcome between Jazz and Megatron…

"Come on, Jazz!" Kyoka cheered, "Kick Megatron's a*s!"

"You got this man!" Kirishima shouted, with Tetsutetsu adding, "Yeah! Show Megatron why you're Optimus' right-hand man, err, right-hand bot, I mean…"

Megatron snarled out a response, "Not for long, little cretin…" as the Decepticon warmonger grabbed Jazz and lifted him from underfoot.

As he was being lifted up by his leg, Jazz fired a torrent of bullets that did a little damage to Megatron. He shouted at Megatron as he struggled to escape his grasp, "You want a piece of me?! You want a piece–!"

'Oh, sh*t! It is just like my version…' Rosa lightly gasped as she looked worriedly at the four little children watching the battle unfold.

Kota, Mahoro, Katsuma, and Eri's guardians felt something was about to go seriously wrong, so Mandalay, Mirio, Nejire, and Amajiki quickly readied to cover the four children's eyes.

Jazz's ribbing to Megatron was cut off by the Decepticon violently hitting him against the tower. Then, Megatron proceeded to break Jazz's back (like Bane breaking Batman's back), and pulled at his leg and arm, replying in a dark, sinister tone, "No…I want…two…"

And with exertion, Megatron violently tore Jazz in half, blue glowing liquid splattering out and catching fire from the two halves of Jazz's torso and hips, the Autobot's limbs falling limp and his white and blue color faded to a dull, lifeless grey…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

That was the sound of all the girls, and a sizable chunk of the guys screaming in absolute horror at Jazz's execution by the hands of Megatron. Even for typical robot-on-robot violence, that was horrific to watch, and it was even worse when they remembered these "robots" were living creatures that resembled robots, not helped by seeing what looked like a metal spine swinging about dangling from under Jazz's torso.

Out of all the screams, none were louder than those of Fuyumi Todoroki, Makoto Tsukauchi, La Brava, Ochako Uraraka, Kyoka Jiro, Mei Hatsume, Melissa Shield, Momo Yaoyorozu, Minoru Mineta, Denki Kaminari, Koji Koda, and Nejire Hado.

"JAZZ! NOOO!" was what followed up almost immediately, with Kyoka, Hatsume, Melissa, Ashido, Hagakure, and Nejire practically screaming before breaking down in tears.

If All For One had a scarless face, his eyes would have been wide with surprise at the brutal death of one of the 'heroes' of the film. He could only comment first with shock, then with a smirk, "Goodness, that was a horrible way to go…I am impressed, Megatron…"

A few ejected the contents of their stomachs out of how horrified they were seeing Jazz get torn in half by Megatron, those few imagining the robots as humans, and well, the image became far too graphic for their minds to handle. Even the rest of the League of Villains (minus AFO and Dabi) were genuinely horrified at the act, even Toga when she correlated the glowing blue liquid coming from the Transformers' bodies being their 'blood' for a lack of a better comparison.

Tsukauchi slammed his fist onto his armrest as he tried to comfort his crying sister, a sentiment shared by most of the adult males in the audience, with All Might taking the loss of Jazz especially hard.

"Megatron just…executed the Autobots' lieutenant. When Optimus isn't around, Jazz is in command, and with his…passing…the Autobots are going to be in disarray…" Amajiki commented, seemingly ready to cry a little as he soon let go of Mahoro's eyes, who saw the result of what she heard and was unsurprisingly horrified at seeing Jazz dead in Megatron's clutches.

Mirio growled in bitterness as he hugged and soothed Eri, "That monster needs to be stopped immediately…he's not taking another life…"

Rosa had seen this scene before many times as a movie in her reality, but this time, the death of Jazz stung much more than the first time she saw this scene. She pressed her face against her husband's chest, letting out soft sobs as Sean tried to comfort her.

Ochako cried into Izuku's shoulder, who looked both shocked and furious, before looking down with a bitter expression on his face. He wrote Jazz's fate into his notebook, he liked the Autobot lieutenant, and he got along well with Spike and Mikaela from what little screentime he had, thanks in large part to acclimating to Earth well. He was definitely a cool character, so he hoped that he didn't suffer as much when Megatron literally tore him in half.

"Jazz: Autobot Lieutenant. status - deceased…killed by being torn in half by Megatron, he bravely fought against Megatron to the bitter end…" Izuku uttered quietly as he wrote down Jazz's ultimate fate, he soon started hoping that Jazz was the only casualty, but something told him that won't happen…

When everyone heard Lennox ask "What's going on?" accompanied by noises, Mineta whined, "What now! We had to watch a good guy die in a violent manner, what on Earth is going on?!"

1:57:47-1:58:59

Everyone soon saw that one of Lennox's men looked through a pair of military-grade binoculars, and through them, they saw Brawl getting back up on his feet.

"OH, COME ON!" Bakugo, Kirishima, Tetsutetsu, Setsuna, Sato, Sero, Kamikiri, Awase, Tsutanori, Kaminari, Mineta, Spinner, and La Brava shouted in unison.

Bakugo roared out in frustration, "WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK DOES IT TAKE TO STOP THIS F*CKER!"

Aizawa growled under his breath as the soldier told his captain that Brawl was getting back up and Arcee rolled up beside them. The teacher sighed as he said, "Some opponents just don't stay down, even after you break their legs…"

Lennox sighed as he remarked seeing Brawl get back up and was provided with more weapons from Swindle, "Oh, these guys just don't die…"

"That is what I am saying!" Bakugo gestured at the screen like he was just proven right.

"Some Decepticons are much tougher than they look, which makes them extremely difficult to defeat when they have the strength, number, and tactical advantage to overwhelm the Autobots…Brawl is one of the more frustratingly stubborn Decepticons to fight against…" Rosa replied to Bakugo, herself looking a little annoyed as if she was speaking from experience.

Onslaught was nearby as he commanded, "Blackout, finish them! Lord Megatron grows impatient, the Allspark is last seen in the possession of the Autobot scout. Locate him, and take the Allspark, the energy signature is bouncing all around the city…"

"At once for Lord Megatron…" Blackout replied as Lennox looked behind him atop a tower and saw Blackout transform into robot mode on top.

Lennox looked in exasperation at the one who was responsible for his involvement in the Transformer war, remarking with a breathless tone, "Oh, we're so dead once he joins the fight…"

"Blackout…Megatron's loyal hound and his weapon of mass demolition…" Arcee replied aiming her weapons at the giant instead of Brawl, "With Jazz having been…*sighs heavily*…Where's Chromia and Sideswipe? They could potentially beat him, Optimus too…"

"Oh, man! I know those Stunticon b*s*a*ds made things harder for them to get there in a rush, but seriously, what is taking those three so long?!" Ojiro groaned in discomfort, the situation getting very dire indeed, there are only four Autobots fighting against ten Decepticons.

Soon enough, the scene cut back to Spike, Mikaela, Bumblebee, and Longarm in vehicle mode, the teenagers using the tow cables of Longarm's alt-mode to fasten a harness to hoist Bumblebee to sit on Longarm's tow-bed along his towing arm.

"Alright…yeah…that's a somewhat effective way to get those two off the battlefield…or, maybe, they could team up to continue the fight…" Itsuka said, the last part of her sentence was said out of her personal hope that Bumblebee and Longarm could still help, even though they were injured.

"I would highly advise against it," Recovery Girl replied, "While I don't know how to treat a Transformer, I imagine that any strenuous activity while their 'T-Cog' is jostled is not a wise decision in Longarm's case. As for Bumblebee, given that his legs from the knees down are completely destroyed, he might not be able to walk ever again if their anatomy is anything like human anatomy. On the battlefield, he would be considered a liability for the other troops."

Sean responded to Recovery Girl's analysis, "Transformers are surprisingly resilient. They could recover from some debilitating injuries by human standards and come away like they were never hurt in the first place. This is owed to their classification as 'robot-like organisms' with enough fuel and specific and, somewhat easy, materials, they could make a complete recovery from things that most humans don't walk away from unscathed. They could even, at times, be rebuilt into new bodies after being blown to literal pieces as long as their Spark remains intact. But, as you kinda saw with a few Transformers already, one of the telltale signs that a Transformer has died is when the color drains and dulls from their bodies."

Izanami added, "I do have medical and anatomical papers, books, the like on Transformer anatomy and biology you can borrow if you are interested…"

Recovery Girl turned to the deity host and replied, "I would actually, thank you, young lady…"

Izanami chuckled as she replied, "Oh, trust me, I am WAY older than I look. In fact, my exact age is the same as the universe's age, so I'm over 13 billion years old. Compared to me, You are actually very young, Recovery Girl…"

'SH-SH-SHE'S 13 BILLION YEARS OLD?! H-HOW?!' Izuku thought as he scribbled down this new information about their host, feeling this was the tip of the iceberg regarding her quirk, or quirks, or just flat-out superpowers.

Lennox jogged toward the two teens and asked Spike, "Spike! Where's the Allspark?" to which Spike replied, "Right there…" and pointed to the Allspark, it glowed a very faint blue as it rested on the side of Longarm's truck bed.

"Huh…the Allspark is glowing, very faintly to where you would think your eyes are tricking you, but it is glowing in that blue light when its power is activated…" Aoyama commented, which Izuku noticed and replied, "You're right, Aoyama. I wasn't sure if I was seeing things, but it is glowing. But, why is it glowing?"

All Might answered his protege as Lennox replied to Spike with an okay, "Your guess is as good as mine, young Midoriya…"

Spike relayed some instructions to Mikaela for Longarm as they used the tow chains and wrapped them around Bumblebee for Longarm to drive the two of them out of the battlefield. Lennox rushed over to the other side of the direction, shouting, "Epps, get those Black Hawks here now! We're going to be overrun!"

Lennox looked down another street in Las Vegas and noticed a ten-or-twelve-story building with statues along the top, muttering "That building." as the tone indicates he just hatched a plan.

"Why is he focusing on that building?" Shinso wondered aloud, rubbing his neck as he tried to figure out what it is that the captain thought of.

Nezu hummed to himself and replied to the general-ed student, "I have my suspicions, Mr. Shinso…Lennox might have determined that building might be where the Black Hawks will take the Allspark to get it into military hands…"

"I can see it as well, sir…" Aizawa added, "But as the Decepticons are pushing aggressively into their assault, I don't think they could afford to spare any troops to deliver the Allspark to the military. They have to remain here to keep their attention on them and away from the only choice they have left to deliver the Allspark…"

"What choice is that, Aizawa?" Midnight asked, only to not hear the insomniac reply and look at the screen as Lennox rushed back to the two teens, and explained his plan to Spike.

"All right, listen, I can't leave my guys back there, the Decepticons are pushing further into our perimeter. So here, take this flare." Lennox explained, then handed Spike a road flare as he gestured to the building he was focusing on.

The military captain continued his explanation, "Okay, there's a tall, white building with statues on top along the roof's edges. Go to the roof. Set off the flare. It will signal the chopper once you do. Army Black Hawks will locate you and you will hand them the Cube."

"So a civilian has to deliver a precious cargo to a rendevous point for the military to extract the cargo…" Snipe recapped briefly, with Thirteen replying, "It's not the best plan of action, but they have little choice left…"

"Worse, the one who has to make the run is a teenager hellbent on helping and not leaving the side of his injured guardian slash friend…" Aizawa added, looking a little annoyed at the chaos unfolding, "So Witwicky needs to step up to the plate, and do what has to be done…"

Spike was refusing, not wanting to leave Bumblebee, and said in the middle of Lennox's explanation by saying, "No. No, no. I can't do this–!"

Lennox soon grabbed Spike's shirt and pulled him closer as he commanded, interrupting the boy, "Listen to me, kid! You're a soldier now! All right? Please, I need you to take and get the Allspark into military hands while we distract and hold them off. Or not only will a lot of people are going to die, but our planet will be destroyed."

"Whether Spike Witwicky wants to admit it or not, he is a soldier now in this battle for being so involved with this alien civil war…" Nezu stated, locking the digits on his paws together.

"Yeah, he either does it, or doom the entire universe to be under the heel of a warmongering tyrant…" Makoto remarked incredulously, then sarcastically asked, "No pressure…right?"

"I don't think I would handle the pressure all that well…" Kyoka commented.

"I would be stressed beyond reason if I was tasked with this mission…" Mina added.

Almost everyone agreed if they were in Spike's situation, they wouldn't handle the pressure of the task given to the boy.

"Well, if you were in that position, even if you are scared beyond reason, you should step up to the challenge. If only because if you lose, everyone dies…" Sean responded, with Nezu adding, "Mr. Hashimoto has a point, there's really too much to lose for failing. As our school's motto says, you have to go beyond, Plus Ultra…"

Izuku looked at the screen and said, "I will do it, if I was there. Of course, I would be scared, but there would be too much at stake for me to give in to my fears. I would gladly step up to the challenge if it means the Earth will be saved…"

"Bravo, little green rabbit…" Izanami applauded while slowly clapping her hands, "And it's a bravado like that, being why you are considered among many deities like myself to be a 'chosen one' in your universe…"

"Ch-chosen one?! Me?!" Izuku replied in surprise, with Bakugo remarking, "Like hell, he's a chosen one! Deku's no chosen one!"

Spike eventually accepted non-verbally by tightening his grip on both the signal flare and the Allspark. All Might noticed and smiled with a bit of pride as he could tell Spike is ready to be a hero, much like Izuku said he would if he was in that boy's position.

"Looks like they're ready to head out…" Ida commented as Lennox tried to tell Mikaela to go, only for the girl to stubbornly refute his order, telling him she will not leave until she gets Bumblebee and Longarm out of there.

"Army Black Hawk requested. Immediate evac for civilian boy with precious cargo. Headed to rooftop marked by flare, precious cargo marked top priority extract." Epps radioed to the Black Hawks as they flew closer to the battlefield, evident by towers of smoke rising up from a distance in the city of Las Vegas.

"Wait! Why are they sending helicopters to get the Allspark for extraction, when three of the Decepticons have those supersonic jets as transformations, four if you count their leader's alien fighter form?" Kaminari questioned once he realized something, which made everyone realize the same thing.

"Yeah, he has a point! Won't the choppers get overtaken by those four Decepticons capable of flight?" Setsuna questioned, eyes wide with worry.

Izanami answered, "While a huge leap of logic, there is a basis for this plan. And the Air Force is key. Whether you believe me or not, do not underestimate the firepower of the F-22s, especially armed with knowledge and weapons capable of harming the Decepticons. The Air Force is meant to serve as support, and distracting the enemy does count as support. They can slow the Decepticons down long enough for the military to lock up the Allspark and prepare for a siege. That hinges on the pilots getting to Las Vegas fast enough…"

Everyone soon turned their attention back to the screen once Ironhide, Ratchet, and Prowl said that they will protect Spike along the way to the location, and Spike replied with a nervous "okay" as his answer.

The camera soon focused on Mikaela Banes as if she was thinking about something once she fastened the last cable to secure Bumblebee to Longarm's truck bed.

"What is she thinking about, I wonder…" Sato wondered aloud after overhearing Lennox asking where are their air support.

"It must be something important, considering she's looking at Spike before he headed off for that white building with the statues…" Tsuyu replied with a finger to her chin, with Mina adding immediately after, "Ooo! I hope it's a love confession…"

Everyone had their own thoughts, and those wonderings were given clarity once Mikaela called out Spike's name as he took off…

1:58:59-1:59:48

Mikaela soon caught up to Spike once he briefly stopped to look at her, she then said after grabbing his shoulders, "Spike, I want you to know this. No matter what happens in the end, I'm really glad I got in that car with you…"

"Eeeeee!" some of the girls shrieked excitedly hearing that, to the men and those with sensitive hearing's displeasure.

"Oh come on!" Shigaraki growled out, "She just said she was glad to step in Bumblebee with him. How is that romantic enough for you to be banshees over!"

"It still counts! Even if they don't kiss!" Mina defended aggressively.

"Yeah, don't ruin the moment just because you never touched a real girl!" La Brava joined, earning equal frustration and confusion to the decay-user.

But before he could retort, AFO told him, "Tomura, it is best to drop it…*sigh* or else our host may quiet us permanently…"

The man-child did just that as the music and action swelled…

"Spike! Get to the building!" Ironhide shouted, with Prowl adding, "Move! Onslaught is pressing out the first line, time is short! Arcee, you and I are staying here to keep their attention on us! I just picked up the other's life signatures just entering the city, inform them on the plan of attack to keep the cons' attention on us…"

"They're readying for something! Blackout, you, Starscream, Thundercracker, & Skywarp locate the Autobot scout or the human he was guarding! The rest of us will slaughter the resistance! Move!" Onslaught reported over the comms, transforming into his burly and large-framed robot mode, which prompted Megatron to roar out over the city, "Decepticons, attack! Kill them all, I will not tolerate any failure!"

"Oh good. Optimus, Chromia, and Sideswipe have finally made it into the city…" Ochako breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, but can they change the tide of the battle?" Shoto asked in response, as one of the soldiers shouted "hit it!" as Brawl, Swindle, Dead End, Wild Rider, and Barricade opened fire on the soldiers and Autobots by trying to keep them all pinned.

Everyone soon beheld a rather impressive shot of the four Autobots and soldiers engaging in metaphorical "trench warfare" with Ratchet and Ironhide firing while retreating to follow the running Spike, while the other soldiers alongside Prowl and Arcee kept six of the Decepticons focused on them. They were especially wowed by Ironhide using a recently abandoned car as a shield to endure a blast from Blackout, who then transformed from robot to helicopter over Spike's head.

"Man, are all wars like this?" Awase wondered, eyes wide at the chaos unfolding.

All For One answered for the boy, "In truth, a war is fought from multiple angles. No war is ever only fought on one battlefield, or a single battle…"

"You would know, would you…" All Might spat under his breath, but purposely not talking quiet enough to be unheard.

"You have something to say to my face All Might? Then say it, break our little forced truce…" the shadow king of evil replied.

Izanami snapped her fingers to get the two's attention, and both shut up as Brawl continued to force the resistance to take cover. While in the background of the scene, Mikaela got inside Longarm's driver seat, and drove herself, Longarm, and Bumblebee out of the line of fire after Lennox ordered her to get herself and the two incapacitated Autobots out of the battlefield.

"This is a perfect cacophony of chaos…even if I know the heroes will win in the end, I quite enjoy the carnage we have witnessed so far…" All For One commented, his mask hiding a wide, satisfied smile.

1:59:48-2:01:07

The screening room erupted in cheers once Optimus arrived on the battlefield, accompanied by triumphant music that got everyone cheering once the Autobot leader crashed through the piles of junk in an alleyway.

"F*CK YEAH, OPTIMUS! KICK THAT B*S*A*D'S A*S!" Bakugo roared out with excitement, eager to see Optimus and Megatron fight against each other.

"Go beat Megatron, Optimus Prime!" Kota cheered loudly with Mandalay joining in his excitement, especially once Optimus swerved to a stop and transformed.

"God! I will never get tired of seeing these transformation sequences…" Mei commented after she cheered.

Optimus stood up as his finalization from converting to robot from vehicle and replied while activating his battle mask.

-[Play "Downtown Battle" - Transformers the Complete Score]-

"Megatron…" Optimus said while in a fighting stance, Megatron acknowledged Optimus and replied after tossing Jazz's bisected corpse aside like garbage, "Prime…"

"Hey! So unmanly, he just tossed Jazz's remains like he was trash!" Kirishima shouted, with Tetsutetsu joining in, "Yeah, so unmanly! That is no way to treat the dead!"

"Not like Megatron cares…" Present Mic bitterly spat out in disgust…

Some of the more observant members of the audience picked up the tone the two leaders of the warring factions addressed each other in. Mina also picked up on the tone and commented, "That acknowledgment Optimus and Megatron gave one another…the tone alone they gave each other…that was less like they knew each other as like they heard of one another's reputation…"

Momo Yaoyarozu added, "I agree, the way they said each other's names…it's quite obvious…"

"They knew each other on a more personal level…they have a history…" Kyoka finished/interrupted Yaoyarozu's thoughts, feeling chills from the venom dripping in Megatron's voice as he said Optimus' name.

Megatron jumped off the tower and spun midair while transforming into his alien starfighter mode. The Decepticon tyrant flew at Optimus as he clenched his fists, likely to bring out his energon swords, and jumped to intercept his rival. But, Megatron was too fast and crashed into and carried Optimus away.

"Megatron's crashing Optimus through buildings to get him off…" Shoto commented as he saw Megatron fly close to some buildings to knock Optimus Prime off.

They soon saw a rather spectacular slow-motion sequence where Megatron, with Optimus hanging on to the wings of the Decepticon, crashed straight through an office building made of concrete. The windows showed there were lots of people still inside as they cowered and ran for cover as the two metal titans crashed through to the other side. As a movie scene, it was a spectacular spectacle for the eyes, but in the mindset of heroes and viewing this as a real action, it was a nightmare, especially for one teacher…

"Dammit!" Aizawa cursed, "Optimus needs to stop Megatron before any more innocent people get hurt, he should get the battle out of the city…"

"There is a tactical advantage to having the battle within the city, Aizawa…" Izanami replied, "But, this version of the movie will explain it shortly. And remember…"

"They're soldiers, not pro-heroes, I know. Onslaught also cornered them into the city to cut them off from backup, I know. It's just as a pro-hero, this is greatly upsetting seeing them making mistakes no pro-hero would ever be caught dead in, even if the situation grows out of control…" Aizawa interrupted, taking a migraine pill he got from one of the previous hosts.

Present Mic replied, "At the very least, they are controlling the situation somewhat, albeit unintentionally, by having what they are after inside the city…"

As Optimus and Megatron barreled through and landed in the street, Megatron in robot mode grabbed Optimus by his arms and pulled the Autobot commander closer as he spoke to his nemesis…

"It has been stellar cycles since we last clashed, Optimus Prime. I see you are still that noble weakling who believes in the good of everyone. It sickens me to see such weakness. You surely know about the history of this planet's inhabitants, and what they did to your poor scout. Humans don't deserve to live…"

"Ooo, I can smell the sass from Megatron, as well as the hate…" Mina commented, shuddering at the venom in Megatron's tone.

"He's belittling Optimus Prime's ideals…" Ida added, very unpleased at how the Decepticon leader views such noble beliefs.

"Honestly, there are many instances where I think we humans don't deserve to exist…" Hawks stated bluntly, thinking all the horrible things humans had done, long before quirks existed.

Optimus managed to break one arm free from his nemesis' grasp, using his free arm to push against Megatron's face as he refuted, "They deserve to choose for themselves how they live! You have no right to say they live or die, because you destroy everything you touch, Megatron!"

"Hell yeah! Stick it to him, Optimus!" Kirishima, Tetsutetsu, Jurota, Bakugo, Sota, Kamikiri, Ashido, and Hagakure cheered at Optimus' unwavering devotion to his cause, living up to his quote, 'freedom is the right of all sentient beings…'

"Destroys…everything he touches…?" Shigaraki uttered quietly, hearing what Optimus said struck a chord with him, he began to wonder if he and Megatron were alike…

Megatron snarled as he punched Optimus in the face and growled out, "Because everything I touch is fuel for my hunger. My hunger for power! If you really feel that strongly for the humans, then you will die with them, brother!"

Everyone froze in absolute shock, mouths agape and eyes wide open in surprise at what Megatron said. Sure, hearing him not even denying what Optimus said about everything the Decepticon touches is pretty unsettling, but something else the tyrant said was what really grabbed their attention…

"BROTHER?!" was what everyone shouted out in unison, Izuku was most shocked of all, he dropped his pencil and notebook on the floor as his mind tried to reboot his mind at the bombshell Megatron just dropped.

"D-did…did h-he just say wh-what I think he said…?" Momo gasped, covering her mouth with her hands.

"He did…" Shoto Todoroki replied to Momo's question, feeling especially unnerved at this revelation.

"Ooo…now I'm really interested in this story…" Dabi smirked, now he was fully on the Decepticons' side as he saw himself in Megatron, and he could tell Megatron had some sort of grudge against Optimus. A similar feeling of having been slighted by his brother was detected in Megatron's voice as he said, 'brother.'

"Clarification…" Izanami said, grabbing everyone's attention as most of the audience looked desperate for answers, "Optimus and Megatron are…were…brothers-in-arms, they initially worked together, even considered each other brothers in the past, until a divide in beliefs tore them apart. Their history together is fascinating but best saved for later…"

"No!" Mina shouted, "I DEMAND answers NOW! Why on Earth are they fighting each other if they worked together before?"

Before the pink-skinned girl could say anything more, with many others, joined in on wanting answers now, Izanami gave them a bone-chilling glare and said calmly yet ominously, "It is best. Saved. For. Later. Understood?"

"Y-yes…" was what everyone demanding answers replied in meek voices, understanding the tone from the deity is that they have to wait, and not be so rude about it, or they will face consequences.

For now, they resumed watching, while Izuku quickly picked up his pencil and notebook and wrote down on a separate page, his theories regarding Optimus and Megatron's past…

Megatron kneed Optimus in the face and punched him in the gut, as he then picked up the Autobot and tossed him several yards from him, sending Optimus to the ground on his back. Megatron charged up his fusion cannon as what looked like bullet shell casings appeared on his other arm.

The fusion cannon shifted as Megatron roared out, "Join them in extinction, Optimus Prime!" and his arms fused together to make the already impressive fusion cannon look even more imposing and powerful, with a longer barrel than before.

"Oh, sh*t!" Kyoka cursed, "That thing looks like it will deal serious damage…"

Mei was too horrified at the revelation that Optimus and Megatron were brothers (brothers-in-arms sure) to notice the impressive display of power Megatron showed and too busy to notice the 'upgraded' fusion cannon…

"The only way you will get me to fire something like that is in a freaking world war…" Snipe commented, shuddering as he imagined how much damage the cannon could do now.

Izuku clutched his notebook tightly as Optimus quickly rushed at Megatron and fired a few blasts from his gun, two projectiles hitting the Decepticon tyrant on the shoulder and hip, making him recoil a little. But Megatron used the momentum of the blast to regrip his weapon and fire his fusion cannon that hit Optimus square in the chest. The attack sent Optimus flying across the street and crashing hard into the building behind the Autobot feet first as humans inside fled to get out of the way.

"Optimus!" practically everyone shouted in unison once they saw how much power was behind Megatron's attack.

"Wow. Again, such power…" Jurota gawked, his forehead drenched in a nervous sweat.

"I think it's fair to confirm that Megatron had definitely lived up to the hype as a powerful villain…" Nezu commented, with all the U-A staff agreeing with him.

"Optimus is far tougher than he looks, and he's no pushover in a battle. But, Megatron is a more ferocious and powerful warlord, as his strength is often comparable to Optimus himself. Optimus has some frankly ridiculous feats under his belt in the Transformers universe like tipping over an oil tanker ship by himself, and Megatron as well, like surviving a blast that sent away a planetoid bigger than the moon from colliding with the Earth. To a point where, at least in this reality, Optimus has technically never won a one-on-one battle against Megatron, and Megatron is actually fighting right now, handicapped, not in peak condition…" Izanami explained as Optimus fell from being hung from the building he crashed into on the ground.

"Wait, seriously?! Optimus and Megatron are that strong?!" Sero gasped in surprise, with Izanami replying immediately, "In some realities, not all…"

Tetsutetsu added, "Sheesh! Megatron's been fighting with a handicap?! What is his handicap…?"

Izanagi answered, "He was frozen and has been in stasis lock for thousands of years in the Arctic. Sub-zero temperatures are actually considered fairly dangerous to a Transformer's health, any prolonged exposure risks permanent damage to their systems. In some other realities, it is even considered fatal for a Transformer."

"If that's the case, then how did he survive under such conditions?" Momo asked, quite shocked over this news.

"It would be too long to explain it in detail, but the simple answer is a combination of coincidental factors mixed with his stubbornness…" Izanami answered, then pointed back to the screen.

Optimus struggled to get up as Megatron looked at his nemesis, "How easily I could kill you now, Prime. But, I have more pressing matters to attend to."

'An extension of that scene? Wonder how this is different…' Rosa thought in her mind, curious about the differences in the new sequence.

"Decepticons…!" Megatron roared as Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Onslaught showed up beside him, then ordered, "Keep him occupied as I claim my prize…"

Onslaught bowed as he said, "Either the scout or the human he guards have the Allspark, the city's buildings are making if difficult to locate it…"

Megatron looked at Onslaught with a murderous glare, and after a moment in thought, he replied, "Leave that to me…I've been hunting for the relic for thousands of stellar-cycles, and I will have it by the end of this rotation…"

'So that is why it is tactically better to have the battle in the city, the Allspark's energy is reflecting off the buildings…' Aizawa thought, both pleased and not pleased at the reason the battle was being waged in the city, and not out of it.

'Huh, okay. So Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp look exactly the same in vehicle mode, but their robot modes are colored like their original versions, more so Thundercracker and Skywarp. I can get behind it…' Rosa thought, after seeing the three better in robot mode here than at Hoover Dam.

Everyone paled as the three Decepticons moved closer to Optimus Prime, with Nejire commenting and breaking the silence, "Well that isn't good…"

2:01:07-2:01:37

Immediately after the three Decepticons lunged for Optimus, the scene showed Spike Witwicky running with Ratchet and Ironhide keeping pace with the boy, with Ironhide telling Spike to keep moving and to not stop.

Rosa heard the music and noted, "Oh, they're using different background music in this version compared to the one I remember seeing."

"Yeah, I can hear the difference…" Sean said, "The version we remember had a more militaristic, ticking-clock vibe. This version has a more heroic, final push vibe that is on the complete soundtrack, it must have been an unused version of the film's final version."

Kyoka chimed in, "Yeah, I can hear what you mean. I can imagine the difference you described very well."

Outside of a quick scene of Blackout destroying another yellow Camero-looking car, the scene was very intense. Everyone felt their breath escape them once Starscream flew toward the three and transformed while sliding to a stop, Spike rolling to the side to get out of the way.

"Damn, that was cool as f*ck!" Bakugo commented, hating to admit that he found yet another move to try out, and from the backstabbing coward of a villain of all characters.

"Starscream may be a cowardly, treacherous creep, but he is air commander and second-in-command for a reason…when push comes to shove, he is a more than capable warrior. Being able to put his opponents in unfavorable positions stemming from his military education…" Rosa replied to Bakugo, making a face that some of the audience noted made her look like she was speaking from experience…

Everyone was silent, watching as wordlessly, Starscream used his weapons to disorient and damage Ratchet and Ironhide. The two Autobots cried out in pain as they tried to fight back, but Starscream proved to be too much for the two.

"Starscream is formidable, but he is sort of small potatoes compared to most Decepticons. Having a military education does not always mean he is a brilliant strategist," Sean explained to break the silence, "…If he could do that to two Autobots, it only reinforces how much more of an uphill battle the Autobots and the human military have to overcome…"

Most of the teenagers and some of the adults paled at hearing this. Izuku was the most worried about how much was at stake for the Earth, and the Autobots. They all had the same question running through their minds…

How will the heroes of this film overcome this challenge?

2:01:37-2:02:39

The scene showed what this little bout between Ironhide and Ratchet against Starscream looked like for Spike. Needless to say, but everyone felt their anxiety skyrocket seeing Starscream tower over Spike, as the boy ducked and had his arms over his face, while the Decepticon fired his weapons with deafening volume.

"I won't lie," Kaminari confessed, "…I would be screaming my head off if I was in Spike's position right now…"

Kyoka remarked, "I would make fun of you for that, but, I'll give you that, as I would not do any better for the same reasons you pointed out Kaminari…"

Izuku felt especially torn watching this, every instinct in his body screaming to go help Spike with his mission. His own anxiety compounding along with his discomfort, it was so bad for him, not helped by hearing Ironhide and Ratchet exclaim in pain, that he didn't even register Ochako grabbing onto his arm to not only comfort him but to ease her own anxiety.

He wasn't the only one, as Mirio Togata and All Might felt that same anxiety. They gritted their teeth in frustration, grips clenching hard on their armrests threatening to break them with how tense they felt.

"The worst thing anyone, especially a hero, can experience…is when they do have the power to help those in desperate need, yet are completely powerless to act upon their desire to help, simply being forced to watch as others suffer against their will…"

Everyone turned to see who the voice belonged to and saw it was Sean who said that, with both he and his wife having clearly distinct expressions that told them they experienced what the young man said, and that it was an especially horrible experience for the two.

All For One smirked as he found an idea he wanted to try out once they return, it sounded so much more devastating than just killing his hated enemies. If he cannot do it, he committed to memory to have Tomura learn to use this.

Starscream finished his work right at a loud bang followed by a near-miss to his metal head, he jumped and flipped as he transformed back into his jet mode. A quick cut shows a scuffed-up, but very much alive Chromia being behind nearly killing the Air Commander of the Decepticons.

"Woo! That could only mean Chromia and Sideswipe joined the fight as well!" Mina cheered, hugging an ignorant Kirishima who along with Tetsutetsu, roared at how manly Chromia was at nearly taking the ferocious Decepticon down.

Any cheers from the other patrons of the screening room were silenced when they saw the extensive damage Starscream had done to Ironhide and Ratchet.

"Oh no…" Melissa and Mei uttered quietly in shock, seeing that between the rather severe damage the two Autobots received, Ironhide had the worse amount of damage, as he was bleeding that weird glowing liquid from several wounds across his body, especially a nasty-looking wound over where the human stomach would be situated.

Ironhide clutched his hand over the wound under his left abdominal region, and groaned out a demand while in agony, "Spike, get to the building! Go!"

Izuku paled as he realized something that the rest failed to notice, "Wait, if Starscream took out Ironhide and Ratchet…then that means that Spike has no backup whatsoever…"

Everyone's worries soon turned to panic as Izuku made them realize how dire the situation was that Spike had no military personnel or any of the Autobots to help him. And when they factored that there are nine (technically seven since two were incapacitated) Autobots versus twelve very tough Decepticons, they realized how bad things are, especially as it indicates something else…

The change in music indicated this worry they had as shortly after the music took on a more ominous tone, Megatron flew in and transformed as he stomped on the asphalt. A car swerved to a stop in front of the tyrant, who proceeded to grab the car in one hand, then tossed it high into the air behind him, like throwing a stone away.

Everyone was shocked at that with Dabi half-joking, "Welp, that guy's dead for sure…"

Not even hearing a response as everyone was too occupied with what happened to process the image, sucked the fun out for him, so Dabi clicked his tongue in disappointment and sulked as he waited for Megatron to kill his "brother", Optimus Prime.

After Megatron tossed the car away like it weighed nothing, he growled out as he focused in on his target, "Give me the Allspark, boy!" Spike ran even harder, slight panic in his eyes as he swerved and spun out of hitting other fleeing civilians in Las Vegas.

Izuku noticed and then realized something else, noting some aspects of science thanks to the prior stories pointing out their own science. He asked, "Wait a minute! If the Allspark is just as powerful at its current size from that initial giant size, what happens if it gets jostled around or hit?"

Momo caught on and added to the question, "That's right, the conversion of physics! If the Allspark is constantly emitting energy at its initial large size, then that must mean its smaller size has only concentrated its energy into a tighter space! What is going to happen if it even gets tapped at its current size?"

"Ooo…points for the two of you for noting something a lot of people overlook…" Izanami said, which caught everyone's attention, especially Aizawa as he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Izanagi answered with a clear, calm voice for his sister, "It's a basic, and fundamental law of the natural mechanisms of the universe. Physics and the conversion of energy play hand in hand in how energy works. Recall that energy always remains constant, regardless of its size. So when you confine the energy from a larger object into a smaller object, that energy doesn't get smaller, it becomes more concentrated, more densely packed, as Midoriya has pointed out. Another way of imagining it would be if you squeeze a balloon full of air tighter and tighter…"

Melissa replied with shock as she asked, "Wait! Are you telling us that the Allspark is a bomb right now?!"

Everyone began to panic immediately as they were hoping that this revelation wasn't true, only for Izanami to answer, "Ehh…technically, yeah, but not in the way you think…"

"How could it possibly be any other way than exploding? That is what bombs do!" Aizawa replied with skepticism, speaking louder than he usually does.

Nezu replied, "I see…it is a bomb, but not in the way we think of when we hear the word. Considering all this new information, if the Allspark gets jostled in any way, an explosion of its energy will be generated, giving life to any machine within its vicinity…"

"Right on the money, Nezu sir…" Izanami saluted, as everyone turned their attention back to the screen, anxious at now being fully aware that the Allspark's energy was more concentrated in this manner.

Spike nearly got hit by a taxi driving away, and narrowly avoided it as a large truck stopped in front of him in time to not kill the teen, but not soon enough for Spike to roll along the truck's grill and land on the pavement hard. The manner he landed had the Allspark hit the floor first as he rolled back onto his feet, with a loud explosive sound, the Allspark sent a massive energy wave in an expanding circle that reached several yards. The energy sent some people onto their feet as the energy brightened as they traveled up some devices, like someone carrying an Xbox inside its package, or a 7up vending machine…

"You have got to be kidding me!" Aizawa grumbled as he face-palmed, "There's so much wrong with this situation thanks to Onslaught, there are better alternatives that could be taken if he didn't cut them off. 'Putting his enemies in unwinnable situations' is certainly a poignant point to describe this clusterf*ck of a situation…"

Ida gritted his teeth as he cursed, "Damn, now the Autobots and military have more problems to deal with than just the Decepticons…"

As Spike struggled back onto his feet, at the same time, Prowl looked in the direction of the readings his sensors detected, then turned to Arcee and said, "I am going to assist Spike Witwicky, can you handle things here on your own until Sideswipe provides backup?"

Arcee chuckled wryly as she replied to the police car strategist, "Me and a bunch of humans against the likes of Brawl, Onslaught, Swindle, Barricade, and the Stunticons, all on our own? I'm not stopping you, we have to stop Megatron's madness…no matter the cost…"

"She has a point…" Aizawa said, "In a situation this dire, there can be no second-guessing your actions or resolve, as Arcee said, 'no matter the cost', meaning by this point they have to do everything in their power to stop the Decepticons, even if it costs them their lives…it's the same for heroes in dire situations where simply bringing a villain into custody isn't a viable option any longer…"

"Goodness, I had no idea some heroes could be so cold-blooded…" AFO sarcastically gasped, pretending this is new information, only for Aizawa to rebuke, "Not all heroics are like those on television, reality works like that and has been long before Quirks existed. And as our host said in regards to the aliens in our reality, it will also be like this long after Quirks fade from memory…"

Spike continued to run off with the fading glowing Allspark still in his grasp. Inside the truck he hit and rolled off of, the driver and her passengers, a bunch of young women, reacted to that blast, with the black-haired driver remarking, "Did that jerk just dent my car?!" only for her blonde friend to reply, "Is that what you should be worrying about right now?"

"THERE'S A F*CKING ALIEN CIVIL WAR BEING WAGED AROUND SEVEN METERS FROM THE LOT OF YOUR FAT A*SES, B*T*HES! OF F*CKING COURSE YOU SHOULD BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT THAT, THAN SOME D*CKWAD DINGING YOUR F*CKING CAR! Dumb b*t*hes…" Bakugo roared out in frustration, with Ida adding, "While I could do without the foul language, I agree with Bakugo, there are more pressing issues to deal with, like getting out of a warzone!"

Rosa sighed as she remarked, "Some people prioritize things differently in a crisis other than what makes common sense. There will always be that one guy or girl who is like this, whining about a broken manicure, or making sure their favorite chair is okay, in the middle of a natural disaster like a volcano interrupting…"

Aizawa let out a frustrated sigh as he lamented, "Oh, I hate dealing with those kinds of people. They slow everything down in an emergency, which is why in a disaster, I prioritize coordinating other heroes in those situations…"

As Izuku made note of cautionary advice regarding difficult people, the steering wheel had pieces begin to shift, like the Transformers when they transform. The driver screamed as the steering wheel rapidly shifted into a spider-like form, with some even thinking it seemed "face hugger-eske" in shape, not helped by the former steering wheel launching itself at the girl and gripping her face.

"Oh, I hope that wheel isn't capable of laying eggs in her stomach, only for more aliens to appear by bursting out of their chest…" Mirio joked, with Mina replying harshly, "NOT NOW! But, I appreciate the lame attempt!"

"Darn, I told a good joke, but no one appreciated it…" Mirio cursed sarcastically while comforting Eri.

The shockwave affected more than just the steering wheel as the truck itself twitched and began shifting as its occupants screamed in terror. The man carrying the Xbox held the package away from him as the console's startup sound rang and metal arms and a screech burst from the sides of the box, trying to get at the person. The vending machine shook and bursting from its cage, the machine transformed into a full robot with a nasty face that beheld an animalistic scowl on it. More machines within the vicinity suddenly sprung to life, from tiny mobile phones to a stray bulldozer, people nearby screaming in sheer terror as the machines soon began to blindly attack everything in their vicinity.

"Oh, crap! That's even more unnerving than the version I remember." Rosa commented, with Ochako asking quite worriedly, "Wh-what are those?!"

"Allspark Mutations…" Izanagi answered with his typical monotone voice, "Incomplete Cybertronians that were ordinary machines until the Allspark itself brought them to life. The Allspark is more than capable of bringing fully sentient beings to life, but these circumstances made the artifact trigger a defense mechanism that resulted in these incomplete beings, which are no better than snarling beasts, whose only instinct is to attack anything in their sights."

"Allspark mutations…" Izuku wrote down, "It must be similar to honeybees attacking any perceived threat to the hive, a pheromone, or signal in this case that triggered the machines Megatron wanted to use himself for the Allspark's purpose, or Spike's thoughts on wanting Megatron to go away might have triggered the Allspark to bring these machines to life in response to his thoughts…"

The energy of the shockwave shot through the battlefield with Arcee and Lennox's unit firing on the Decepticons. It traveled through all the ruined wreckage of vehicles and rubble to pass over one of the intact, but upside-down buggies that the soldiers used to get to the city. It jostled and sputtered as it soon came to life as another Allspark Mutation…

But immediately, some of the more observant viewers noticed something was different about this mutation from the others. Every Allspark mutation had a savagery in their faces that beheld a violent nature…

"The buggy…it seems, different, somehow…" Momo commented, her sharp eyes already noticing the likely, different mindset of this newborn Transformer.

"The other mutations all had a savage look in their eyes. This one has a more…inquisitive, perhaps, look in its expression…" Mei added, but her face lit up as she then said, "Oh my baby! Did the Allspark just bring to life a full-fledged Transformer?!"

David Shield watched this mutation with a careful eye, using what he has learned so far to determine, and then answered, "Young lady, I think your guess is correct. But, it remains to be seen if this mutation is good or not…"

Izuku readied his notebook and began writing down this new Transformer, but he was worried when, considering Megatron's initial plan, that this new robot was an evil robot.

The mutation looked around with a somewhat nervous expression, seeing the battlefield in absolute chaos, it backed away into an alley and tried to hide itself.

"Aww…it looks cute by doing that…" Midnight cooed at the mutation's actions, with Rosa commenting to herself, "Could that be…he only showed up in the film's toyline in my version…"

The mutation's efforts to remain hidden were rendered inert thanks as the other mutations noticing it, then began savagely attacking the newly-born Transformer. It panicked as it soon activated its weapons and fired upon the savage mutations, destroying them easily, to the confusion of this fresh Transformer. It looked at its weapons with a dumbfounded expression, but hearing the battlefield, especially as soon as it heard someone shout they are going to be overrun, its expression changed. Like, something was forming in its spark…

No one got to see what this new Transformer decided, as it cut back to Spike running for his life, Megatron was briefly slowed down by the Allspark mutations, but he destroyed them with such savagery that it left the audience speechless, even as Spike reached the inside of the building he was told to reach the rooftop of. Once they saw he made it inside they felt a brief sense of relief, and then laughed a little when he said "You're not gonna get me. You're not gonna get me!"

"The building looks familiar…" Yaoyarozu commented as she then recalled the building's overall shape and appearance.

Izanami answered, "Well, in realities where this is a fictional film, that building Spike ran into is actually the abandoned Michigan Central Station…as far as this being a real universe, it was originally a hospital built in the early 1900s, but fell into a steady decline by the 1970s, being fully abandoned a decade later…"

Momo Yaoyarozu's eyes widened as she said, "Oh, I've heard of that station, I remember watching a documentary on it."

Ochako added, "Me too, I've seen that documentary too! The one where when quirks started to show up, it was used as a hideout for a lot of people with quirks to avoid persecution…heard it was a heritage site now, and a museum…"

"Exactly…" Yaoyarozu replied, but their attention was refocused on the screen as they heard the thuds of giant, heavy footsteps coming closer.

2:02:39-2:03:02

The audience's relief for Spike making it to the building was terminated once Megatron crashed through one of the tall windows, growling as he called out…

"I smell you, boy! You cannot hide from me, not hide the Allspark from me! I have spent tens of thousands of stellar cycles chasing after it, and you will not rob me of a single deca-cycle longer!" Megatron growled out as Spike made it to the next floor above the ground level.

Everyone felt on edge and anxious after witnessing the Decepticon tyrant's strength he was more of a monster than a villain, especially as his tone indicated he is more than willing to kill Spike to get his prize, more than the prior villains they've seen so far.

Rosa thought in her mind 'He only said that first sentence in the version I'm familiar with…guess this version had more expanded dialogue…'

Izuku could feel the frustration boiling inside him as he saw Spike run for his life, and Megatron hunted him for his prize. He would jump at the opportunity to distract Megatron, even long enough to get the Allspark into the military's hands. If he could beat Megatron, he would, but he would be certain that at his current level of strength, he would likely end up killed by the Decepticon leader.

Everyone got an unwanted closer look at Megatron's face as he gripped a pillar within the building, a snarled, angry expression as he bared his teeth like a wild animal.

"Yeeesh! He's so creepy!" Mina squeaked in fright as she hid behind the seat in front of her.

"My guess is that he's supposed to be creepy…" Itsuka replied, hiding her face behind her hands and peeking through her fingers.

"Yeah, your assumptions are 100% accurate…" Rosa commented, looking at the Decepticon with a slight hint of contempt.

The scene moved on as right when Megatron turned his gaze upward, he was hit in the back by a projectile that made him lurch forward a little.

Rosa's eyes widened as she commented, "Ooo, an expanded scene? That's new…"

Everyone didn't hear the assistant, as the fact that someone fired on Megatron was what got their attention.

"Could it be…?" Izuku wondered, but his thoughts were interrupted as the perpetrator called out to Megatron…

"Stay right where you are, Megatron…" said a voice, and Megatron turned his head to see the owner of the voice, Prowl, aiming his weapon at him.

"It's Prowl!" Makoto exclaimed cheerfully, eager to see Megatron stopped, her brother was equally happy, as Prowl not only assumed a classic Japanese police-car, but, was a former officer himself before the Autobot/Decepticon war.

"Come on, robo-cop extra, Prowl! Shoot that f*cker in the head…" Bakugo remarked with a smirk, but it quickly faded once he realized that Megatron barely flinched at that blast.

"Tell me, Autobot…" Megatron began to ask Prowl, the Decepticon stood up and towered over the Autobot, his sneering expression acting as an insult on itself, "Are you aware of how many of your kind I slew back on Cybertron?"

The question itself implied many things, with Tsuyu nervously asking, "H-how many has Megatron killed?"

"More than enough to have a 'kill-on-sight' order if the number he slew was equal to humans on Earth, from every country on the planet…" Sean answered, which made all the heroes and students pale at that, and the villains (though most were actively rooting against the Decepticon) were actually impressed and intimidated.

"One too many…" Prowl replied, as he opened fire on Megatron, but the Decepticon was too quick for any shot to land. Prowl quickly changed tactics and readied for close-quarters combat, managing to land two good hits on Megatron, but Megatron proved why he was the leader of the Decepticons. He landed twelve brutal and quick blows that disoriented Prowl, as Megatron lifted Prowl with one hand, then threw him into a wall, the action clipping Prowl's left hand off.

Many had their jaws slacked open or covered theirs with their hands at the quick, yet vicious beatdown Megatron inflicted upon Prowl.

"Geez, and this is Megatron not in peak fighting condition. Not a single person or robot was able to bring him down, let alone slow him down." Kirishima absentmindedly commented, summing up what everyone thought.

"He may be a villain, but good lord, if that isn't manly, I don't know what is…" Tetsutetsu added, slack-jawed himself.

Prowl groaned in pain as he struggled to get up, which Megatron walked away, but not before commenting, "You are braver than most Autobots who faced me. You deserve a better death at my hands, Autobot. But, I have bigger plans than to indulge your pitiful existence any longer…"

"Dude, I will give Megatron props. That is some way to compliment and insult someone at the same time…" Present Mic replied, impressed and disgusted at Megatron's comment.

Most of the students and several adults agreed, but they felt more insulted than anything at Megatron's diss on Prowl.

"Now to claim my birthright…" Megatron said as he looked up the ceiling, peering through one of the holes, he spotted a shadow quickly pass over the light filtering through.

"Oh no, Spike!" Melissa gasped, and that made everyone remember that Spike was just above Megatron with the Allspark in hand.

As Spike ran down the hall, everyone in the audience jumped in surprise as Megatron crashed from the floor and tried to grab Spike, letting out a tiger-like growl as his fingers narrowly missed grabbing Spike.

"Oh god! That was WAY too close for comfort!" Toru and Kinoko gasped, trying to settle their rapidly-beating hearts.

"Won't lie, that legit scared the sh*t out of me…" Mr. Compress whispered to his fellow villains, who wordlessly agreed with him.

"Maggot!" Megatron growled spitefully as Spike looked back in terror, then Megatron felt something grab his legs and saw the injured Prowl pulling the bigger bot down to the ground level with a crash.

Megatron roared like a lion as he got up on his feet and grabbed Prowl's remaining hand and crushed it in his grip, eliciting a painful cry from Prowl. Megatron proceeded to throw Prowl around like a ragdoll, punching him mercilessly and even tearing Prowl's whole arm off. Megatron then lifted Prowl with one hand again and then slammed Prowl into the ground with enough force to cave-in the pavement of the floor.

Everyone was horrified at the ruthless display of Megatron completely decimating Prowl, completely silent at the carnage shown. Mei was especially horrified with a genuine expression of fear and worry plastered on her face.

The tinkerer started to tear up as she knew at this point, uttering quietly, "He's going to die…"

"The fact that despite your injuries, you once again stand in my way. I only allowed you to live so I could kill you later, but I think I will just end your life here and now! Any last words, or final pleas of mercy, Autobot?" Megatron growled as despite missing his hands and a whole arm, Prowl still tried to hold Megatron here.

Prowl gritted through the agony he felt as he smiled(?) and said to Megatron, "Freedom…is the right…of all sentient…beings…"

"The words of his leader…" AFO commented, arms folded and hiding behind his mask an unusual mix of an angry scowl & a twisted grin, "A brave, yet foolish act to defy the leader of an enemy faction…"

Detective Tsukauchi sighed sadly, and took his hat off out of respect for Prowl, his conviction shining through at the end of his rope.

Megatron snarled as he threw Prowl onto the floor with significant force, then forcefully pressed his fusion cannon against the Autobot's chest. The cannon hummed to life as the shadowed forms of the two Transformers briefly vanished as the light coming through the windows faded. Then with the loud sound of Megatron's fusion cannon, the wall the shadows were on illuminated again, showing Megatron blasting Prowl to pieces. The explosion tossed up Prowl's severed arm and it landed in a puddle of water, the color fading to dull greys that signified the death of yet another Autobot.

Megatron then said to the Autobot's corpse with a disgusted sneer through the view of the puddle, "Such heroic nonsense…"

Everyone gasped in shock, a few even let out wails of sadness over the violent death of Prowl. The four young children saw the death full-scale, even though the graphic death was only shown through shadows, and they cried into the embrace of their guardians.

"No…" Makoto whimpered weakly, hands over her mouth as tears streamed down her face.

Everyone felt especially bitter about the passing of Prowl, compared to Jazz earlier, Prowl had the tar beaten out of him, leaving the strategist to be in agony. Jazz at least didn't suffer for very long they hoped, but Prowl was in agony since he confronted Megatron.

Ochako was so overwhelmed at how Prowl died, she cried into her arms, with Izuku trying his best to comfort her, despite wanting to break down crying himself.

Once the two relaxed a little, Izuku wrote down Prowl's fate. While a closed-off individual, strict, and not having nearly as much screentime, Prowl definitely left his mark on him and the rest of the audience, and he proved his worth by distracting Megatron all by himself and keeping him from Spike and the Allspark. And his last words to Megatron really struck Izuku, showing what the strategist was thinking in his last moments, and the faith he had for the cause he fought for. It was very poignant to Izuku, and he felt that it wasn't just him who felt that, it was everyone else around him, even those who he is certain are the vestiges of previous One For All users from within him. Izuku also felt insulted when Megatron called Prowl's noble action and beliefs "heroic nonsense", he felt it was a personal attack on his ideals, and would've been more than glad to fight Megatron and put him in his place if he could.

'Prowl, Autobot Strategist. Fate - Deceased. Killed by Megatron by distracting the Decepticon leader from Spike and the Allspark. After being beaten mercilessly, he defied Megatron in his last moments, by repeating the words of Optimus Prime. He died a good robot, and a brave soldier…' Izuku thought/transcribed on Prowl's page, he felt Ochako's hand on his wrist, and placed his free hand over hers in comfort.

No one could mourn any longer for Prowl as the camera showed Spike looking down a dizzying and spiraling staircase at the noise and briefly stopping, only to shake his head and continue running to the rooftop as fast as he could.

"Please, don't let anything else bad happen…" David pleaded quietly, as he recognized that this was the "darkest hour" of the story, the heroes of the film at their lowest point.

2:03:02-2:03:37

The scene then changed to an alleyway as it soon showed Mikaela with Longarm and Bumblebee. A slight sputter from Longarm's undercarriage halted the tow truck to a stop, prompting Mikaela to hit the steering wheel and grunt in frustration as she then rested her head against it, taking hitched breaths that indicated she was trying to not panic.

"She must be overwhelmed by the chaos unfolding around her…" Thirteen commented, which prompted many of the adults to agree with her, a few even knowing exactly what she was going through.

Momo commented among her fellow students, "I can't even begin to imagine what is going through her mind right now. I would not fare any better if I was in her place…"

"In the middle of an alien civil war with all that sh*t we've seen so far? Yeah. I would be stressed beyond reason." Setsuna remarked, taking deep breaths to calm her growing anxiety out of sympathy for the characters on screen.

Bakugo would have boasted or retorted something about how they're weak-a*ses if they let this stuff get to them, but he kept quiet. He could tell this isn't the time to be his usual, confident self, it would be inappropriate, which he found a little odd, as he usually didn't care.

The low undertone of the score continued as the scene showed a quick cut on how the battle was faring, and it is sufficient to say, it isn't going well for the Autobots and military. The accompanying scenes had the sound fade behind the music, every shout and blast muffled into an auditory haze.

Optimus Prime was struggling against Onslaught, Skywarp, & Thundercracker, getting ganged up on being hit by missiles and punches and guns being fired upon him. The students and children felt hopeless at seeing Optimus barely fighting back against these three Decepticons, even the villains were extremely worried for the Autobot leader's fate, except AFO as he relished in seeing his most hated enemy getting the scrap beaten out of him. But, Optimus wasn't the only one struggling…

Ironhide and Ratchet were trying some quick patches to their injuries with Chromia's help, while at the same time, Starscream, Blackout, and Barricade kept them behind cover. Arcee and Sideswipe were dealt some rather worrisome injuries as Arcee's left arm was bleeding Energon and limply hung from her shoulder as she still continued fire alongside the humans. Brawl, Swindle, Dead End, and Wild Rider continued to pressure the resistance, Brawl being the one really putting the group on the back burner.

It goes without saying that things have gotten so dire in this situation, plenty of the students and pro-heroes felt their anxiety climb, as all the traumatic experiences they all went through came to the forefront of their minds. None had it worse than All Might, Midnight, Present Mic, Eraserhead, Thirteen, and those who were part of the Shie Hissaikai raid, and the Training Camp incident.

Izanami noticed and started to worry about the feelings of trauma those afflicted were feeling, but held herself back because she knew what was coming in this version of the film. Her assistants didn't understand what the deity knew, so they rushed over to the students to try and help calm them down. But, before the couple could finish trying to relax the panicking students, the screen grabbed their attention with a voice speaking to Mikaela Banes…

"Breathe, Mikaela, breathe. It's okay…" said the voice, with Mikaela looking to see it was coming from the radio. Longarm patched into the radio to speak with her through his commlink as he continued, "It's okay. It is perfectly fine to admit you are not okay, you cannot let the stress get the better of you. Trust me, it isn't a weakness to admit you are not fine, it's actually a great show of strength when you are honest about your feelings, especially in stressful situations…"

Everyone's attention was glued to the screen, taking deep breaths and relaxing a little as Longarm continued to console the teenage girl.

Mikaela started to slow her breathing as she then asked Longarm, "How would you know?"

Longarm replied, "I was younger than Bumblebee when the war began on Cybertron. I was there when it started, and I was in a similar state of mind back then as you are right now when I was drafted. But, I can tell you from experience that letting yourself panic and stress over a dire situation will not help anyone. You should talk to someone afterward but now is not the time. Our friends are in dire straits but understand that it is okay to admit to someone that things are not fine with you. Trust me, letting the fear, the anxiety, the panic control you will not help at all, plenty of Autobots I know, really good friends of mine, lost their lives letting those things consume them…"

The last sentence implied many things, but its intention was very clear, and it upset everyone as it was pretty obvious by Longarm's tone, some Autobots among his friends had likely ended their own lives due to their trauma.

"Poor Longarm…" Mina commented in a sad, sympathetic tone, hearing the pain in Longarm's voice that he likely felt as a consequence of those Autobots, committing…well, that rather heavy topic known as suicide…

Longarm continued to say, "Mikaela, the thing is that some Decepticons believe that showing compassion and sympathy is a weakness. But, the truth is that it is what gives us strength, because, without it, we are nothing. Without mercy, we are nothing…"

Mikaela had managed to calm her breathing down as she heard something from behind her, seeing Bumblebee look back at her and nodded, she then turned to Longarm's radio as he finished, "It's okay to be stressed over situations beyond our control, but you cannot let them control or dictate your life. While Bumblebee and I are more than willing to fight even in our condition, is that what you want? If not, we can get out of here right now. I will not stop you, because well, you technically have control right now…"

Midnight sighed with relief as she whispered to herself, "Thank you, Longarm…"

Everyone felt like a huge weight was lifted off their shoulders, especially hearing from Longarm that it is perfectly okay to admit they are not okay, even encouraging them to admit so to someone they trust.

Mandalay said after letting go of Kota, "Wow, for a bot who kept to himself, Longarm certainly said a lot and made sure it had meaning. He's wise beyond his years, especially when he said he was very young when their civil war started."

Recovery Girl nodded in approval as she added, "Longarm is definitely a worthwhile medical professional because sometimes the afflictions a medical officer has to help treat are not physical, but psychological. He definitely did what he is supposed to do on that front, and has earned my seal of approval…"

"I agree, Recovery Girl…" Nezu said, feeling much calmer than he has been in a while, remembering the therapist Kiddo directed to him, "I would have loved to hire Longarm on our staff, he and Hound Dog would be effective counselors and make our students stronger than ever. And what he said can be applied to heroes, that while it is perfectly fine to remain strong among the public, it is alright to seek help from others, especially when you are not fine…"

All Might had a sad smile on his face, as he knew better now that his mindset after the death of Nana Shimura, was not the right way for him to go. Hearing that it is okay to admit you are not fine, even if you try to convince yourself that you are, it is fine to seek help by talking to someone you trust. He chuckled darkly as he knew it was too late for him to properly heed this advice, but that doesn't mean he won't be that consultant for any of his students, especially Izuku and Katsuki.

Toga thought about it, and realized her life might have been different if she was more honest with herself. Whether her life would change for the better or not is entirely up in the air, but hearing the comforting words of the Autobot medical assistant, she found someone else to deeply admire. A sentiment shared by most of the League, who were genuinely touched by Longarm's words, feeling that while meant for Mikaela in the film, it was like he was talking to the entire audience. They liked Longarm now, and even Dabi found one reason now to continue rooting for the Autobots to succeed, overwriting his desire to see Megatron claim vengeance on his "brother" Optimus Prime, at least a little bit.

"I hope nothing bad happens to Longarm…he's way too good-natured to die here…" Compress commented quietly, with Spinner replying, "I never thought of heroics as anything but rescuing innocent civilians. Now I'm getting the idea that being a true hero is more than just saving the day like All Might. Longarm is a good example that, maybe, he can be a different kind of true hero…"

Mirio was greatly affected by Longarm's words, they really struck a chord with him as, despite maintaining a chipper attitude for Nighteye's sake, he was on the verge of a breakdown. He wanted to remain strong for everyone's sake, desperate to remain strong, but hearing Longarm say it is okay to admit you are not okay, felt relieving to him.

Their attention then focused on Mikaela's face as the girl looked like she was thinking about her next course of action, then that contemplative look morphed into a fierce, determined look as she made her decision, shifting gears and pulling out of the alleyway.

"I have a stupid idea, if the two of you are with me…" Mikaela asked, as Bumblebee nodded in confirmation and Longarm replied, "Yeah, I'm with you…"

All Might smiled as he had seen that look before, looks like Mikaela is going with Bumblebee and Longarm to join the fight…

2:03:37-2:04:45

Mikaela drove Longarm forward and swerved to where Bumblebee was facing Brawl's group, but Longarm was facing a bunch of Allspark Mutations.

"Yikes, I forgot about those guys!" Kosei reacted with shock as like a horror movie, all the mutations' attention and gazes quickly focused on the trio.

"That's really unsettling…" Tsutanori commented, hugging her legs and rocking a little.

"I'll drive, you shoot, Bumblebee. And Longarm, keep them away…" Mikaela said, with Bumblebee replying through the radio, "*Consider it done…little lady…*" and Longarm added, "I have access to my weapons in vehicle mode again, so I have your back…"

Everyone was quite happy at seeing the three heading off to battle, with Bumblebee pushing abandoned and wreaked cars out of the way as Mikaela reversed Longarm to face Brawl's group of Decepticons.

Kyoka heard the music take on a more heroic undertone that made her remark, "Wow, this music is very fitting for a 'tides-changing-to-the-heroes'-favor' kind of vibe…"

Sean and Rosa noticed as well, with the married woman commenting, "Ooo, I like this version so much better than the one I remember. Our version only had a generic rock band song playing here, this is a huge improvement…"

All For One sighed as he commented to himself, "Well…It was fun while it lasted…the heroes on the backfoot…"

Brawl fired a missile that narrowly missed hitting the human soldiers and blew up a building they were taking cover inside, kicking up lots of dust. Lennox looked at the battle with wide eyes as he commented, "Oh boy, this isn't going well!"

As Bumblebee and Longarm continued to head for Brawl and the other Decepticons keeping Arcee, Sideswipe, and Lennox's unit pinned, a quick shot showed Optimus pushback by making Onslaught retreat, leaving him alone with the two Seekers.

Another quick shot showed Chromia, Ironhide, and Ratchet bulldoze past their opponents with the Lotus Elise Autobot landing a powerful shot that sent Barricade flying through a building, and Blackout and Starscream retreated.

"Whooo! They're fighting back!" David and All Might shouted at such a volume one would think they were spectators at a baseball game. But they weren't the only ones as everyone cheered for the Autobots and humans fighting back against the Decepticons. Even more cheers erupted once it cut back to Brawl's battlefield, and Lennox landed a shot on the tank's shoulder and distracted Brawl into getting more shots disorienting the bruiser.

Everyone soon beheld a spectacular sequence where Bumblebee proceeded to fire upon Brawl, and the other Decepticons with him, distracting the tank as he got pelted by the Energon blasts making the bruiser stumble and falter. The other Decepticons took cover and tried to fire back, but could not land a hit on the scout, as even Swindle wasn't given time to pull out some shield to defend them from the barrage. Meanwhile, Longarm's alt-mode weapons decimated some of the charging Allspark Mutations, which distracted those that survived long enough to notice the Decepticons and make a B-line for them.

"Go Bumblebee! Kick their a*ses!" Kirishima, Tetsutetsu, Kaminari, Kosei, Awase, and Bakugo roared out in excitement as the Autobot scout continued his assault, letting his allies press their defense and swiftly turned it into an offense.

Brawl, Dead End, Wild Rider, & Swindle could barely do anything to fight back as they got pelted by their enemies' weapons. Eventually, Swindle shouted "Scrap this!" and transformed as the arms dealer drove away in retreat, getting pelted by more of the sabot shells until he was out of range.

"YEAH!" Present Mic shouted, "Looks like Swindle's flying the coop!"

"No about of money is probably worth the risk of losing his life. Good riddance, without his wares supplying his comrades, the Decepticons won't have any more destructive weapons thrown at them…" Aizawa said with a tired voice, but inside his mind, he was beyond relieved that one of the more problematic Decepticons was no longer a problem.

Eventually, as Bumblebee continued firing at the Decepticons, a well-placed shot landed square onto Brawl's chest, making him recoil as the wound exploded with fire, smoke, and a ton of Energon flying from the wound.

Mei had a hunch after seeing this and exclaimed with a bit of worry, "Bumblebee, he must have struck Brawl's Spark…"

"F*ck yeah! The tank is finally scrap metal now!" Bakugo exclaimed excitedly, Bumblebee has earned more respect from the explosive boy.

The distraction of Brawl's Spark being struck allowed for enough of a distraction for Arcee and Chromia to roll in and the two swiftly and, quite brutally, kill the two Stunticons in their shock. Arcee brought out an Energon sword from her wrist and cut off Dead End's arm, then planted her blaster at the Decepticon's chest and fired point-blank, in a fiery explosion. Chromia meanwhile fired two shots at Wild Rider, one traveled up the barrel of Wild Rider's weapon and caused it to explode in the Stunticon's hand, and a second amputated his left arm off his chest, then she grabbed her combat knife and drove it up his head from under his chin, killing Wild Rider instantly. The two corpses dulled in color and dropped to the ground, leaving a scuffed-up Arcee and Chromia to pant heavily as Brawl ended up the same as the Stunticons, and his dulled corpse collapsed into the building the soldiers used for cover…

"Oh damn…" Mineta squeaked with a shocked expression, "…that…was…brutal…those two lady-bots just executed those guys…"

"Heck yeah! That's some girl power!" Mina cheered for Arcee and Chromia, as well as most of the female audience joining the pink girl in their own cheers.

Sideswipe whined as he commented, "Aww man, I had them…"

That made all the men laugh, chortle, and chuckle, a good bit of humor as some guys perfectly understood what Sideswipe was thinking.

"You only have yourself to blame for not scoring the kills that those badass chicks claimed!" Bakugo replied to Sideswipe's whining, trying not to wet himself in laughter.

Kaminari added, "Yeah, Arcee and Chromia are badasses…"

Kyoka rolled her eyes at Kaminari's statement, laughing a little as she kinda got what Sideswipe thought.

Mei was speechless with shock, sure, she was happy the Autobots and humans prevailed against the Decepticons in this battle, but she was still horrified at more Transformer deaths.

Arcee and Chromia looked at each other up and down, prompting Arcee to remark wryly, "You look like scrap…"

Chromia replied in a similar tone to Arcee, "Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? I don't think you are on any grounds to say that to me…"

That made the girls laugh as hard as the boys and the boys laughed harder than they did with Sideswipe.

"Girls…am I right?" Mineta whispered in-between chuckles to the other guys, who agreed amidst their own chortles.

Mina commented, "OMG, I love these two! They're so freaking cool and that added the funny factor for me!"

Ochako chimed in, "I agree, Arcee and Chromia are so awesome! I want to be as cool as them in the future…"

Izuku was glad Ochako's mood improved, and he subsequently wrote down the fates of Brawl, Dead End, and Wild Rider. It definitely looks like the tides are turning to the Autobots and military, glad that they were now pushing back, despite the loss of Jazz and Prowl.

2:04:45-2:05:01

"F*ck! That was awesome!" Bakugo said in a tired, yet very pleased voice, other guys and a few girls agreeing with him.

Izuku added, "Yeah, that was pretty cool, but it bothers me that the Autobots killed those Decepticons without hesitation…"

Aizawa replied to Izuku, "Unfortunately Midoriya, this is a war. As a hero, killing should be only considered when no other alternative is left, but sometimes, it is unavoidable. They are soldiers, much like the military…"

After Brawl's corpse collapsed into the building, kicking up dust and pebbles, Bumblebee brought a finger to his battle mask and peeked from under it. He spoke through the radio, "*Did I do that?…*"

"Oh god. He referenced Steve Urkle of all people?!" All For One groaned in annoyance, he is all too familiar with the character Bumblebee referenced.

"Wait! Bumblebee wasn't the one who landed those killing shots on Brawl?!" Izuku exclaimed, alerting his fellow classmates to that revelation.

"If that's the case, then who–?" Melissa began to ask, only for Nezu to respond, "There's one possibility…"

As Mikaela stepped out of Longarm, Bumblebee looked behind him to see that Allspark Mutation buggy with its arm-mounted cannons aimed forward, the barrels smoking as it walked closer to the group.

Arcee, Sideswipe, Chromia, and the soldiers noticed the newly-born Transformer as it deactivated the cannons. Arcee looked back at Brawl's corpse and asked the mutation while pointing to the dead Decepticon, "Was that you?"

"He looks weird…" Sideswipe commented, which prompted Chromia to elbow him in the side, making the Autobot exclaim in pain. Sideswipe gave a look to Chromia that non-verbally asked "What'd I do?" with Chromia replying non-verbally herself while shaking her head disapprovingly, "You know what…"

That made everyone laugh, as it seems that while she was rough around the edges, Chromia was very much like a mom or big sister to some of her teammates. Some guys chuckled and rubbed their heads nervously as plenty of them knew exactly what Sideswipe just went through.

"Blunt…ain't he…?" Pony giggled out a response with many laughing at the scene, with Setsuna smirking a response but ending with uncontrollable giggling, "Oh, Absolutely…and I am definitely a Chromia fan now…"

The mutation looked around at everyone on guard around it, but then nodded, with a curious look on its face. Chromia replied, "Well, thanks for the assist, friend…"

"Fr…friend?" the mutation asked, clear in his tone that he wasn't used to speaking, "We…are…friends…?"

"Baby Transformer's first words!" Mei excitedly cooed, instantly forgetting about the dead Transformers as this "newborn" started to walk into its own way of life.

Longarm said, "Self-repair finished, T-cog functionality operational at last…" he then transformed into robot mode while hoisting Bumblebee with support on his back.

Longarm looked at the mutation and commented, "You're not like the other mutations I blasted…"

This prompted Sideswipe to look at where the trio of backup came from, then chuckled out a comment, "No offense ladies, but I think Longarm just had us beat in terms of kill count…" and sure enough, the street in front of the Autobots was an absolute wreck with twisted metal, burning parts, and twitching mutation corpses stretching past three intersections.

"Damn! Longarm for the win!" Twice reacted as if he got burned.

Toga found one reason more to like Longarm now, even if it was with unnatural mutations created by the Allspark, he amassed an already staggering kill count.

"If only he wasn't a robot, I would love to become him…" Toga blushed with a mesmerized look in her eyes…

Longarm ignored Sideswipe and continued, "I see, you have an actual spark. And given you helped us, want to help us end our war?"

The newborn Transformer turned its gaze upward in thought, then said, his speech stilted as he was still learning, "Sure…if you…w-want me…"

"Welcome to the Autobots then, newbie…" Ironhide said as he walked up. The soldiers lowered their weapons and began inspecting Brawl as Mikaela walked beside Bumblebee and the new recruit and said to the two, "Nice shots, you two…"

"Eee! A new Autobot!" Mina said, extremely excited that the Autobots have a new member to bolster the squad's ranks.

"Oh, a surprise Autobot, I wasn't expecting that…" Rosa quietly commented, pleased to have been caught off-guard by this surprise extended scene.

"I question letting a new recruit who was just born TODAY, but I appreciate that they aren't so outnumbered anymore…" Midnight commented, which did make everyone realize that the new Autobot was technically born today in the middle of a battle.

"Well, stranger things have happened…" Mirio wryly remarked as he recalled Jackie Chan fighting a demon, a big-headed alien recreating a quirk from dandruff, and a superhero who got his quirk through a spider bite.

"Okay, that tank guy is definitely dead now." one of the soldiers said with Lennox saying after, "All right, let's go! We got business with the rest of these Decepticons!"

The newbie Autobot transformed into his assault buggy mode as Mikaela hitched a ride, Longarm had Ironhide help him lift Bumblebee off his back and Ironhide asked, "Hey, new guy! Mind hauling our wounded scout for a while?"

The newborn Transformer replied he could, and Ironhide and Longarm sat Bumblebee down behind the back of the buggy, and fastened him to the rear. The group then took off to take out the rest of the Decepticons.

"Swindle escaped like a coward so that leaves Onslaught, those jet Transformers, Blackout, and Megatron himself. Although they are down a couple of heavy hitters, the Decepticons are still a formidable force to be reckoned with, especially with an inexperienced child joining their ranks…" Aizawa said, noting that while he may have not been a "child" in the traditional sense, the newly recruited mutation was still very young, much younger than Bumblebee.

All Might said to the insomniac teacher, amidst the cheers as a quick cut showed both Skywarp and Thundercracker retreating from Optimus Prime, "We just have to hope that the Autobots could keep this momentum on their side. After all, this battle is far from over…"

2:05:01-2:06:05

Showing next the Black Hawks flying over the city of Las Vegas, Spike climbing a ladder to the rooftop with the Allspark still in his possession. He shouted to get their attention as he rushed to the other side of the building. He then took the flare out of his shirt pocket and popped it as it lit up in a bright red, fiery glow with a loud sizzle.

Ducking from clothes lines he shouted "Hey! I'm over here!" at the top of his lungs while running, which some of the audience thought was funny as he prolonged the "here" of his calling out in a funny manner.

"Yes, the mission is nearly done…" Cementoss sighed with relief, only for Hawks to reply, "Yeah, provided the F-22s show up in time to provide support…"

Starscream transformed into robot mode and landed atop a framed structure on the roof of another tall building across the way from the building Spike was on. He simply stood there at the ready, waiting for something…

…which made everyone nervous, as they then realized, prompted by Kendo asking, "Wait, what if Onslaught intercepted Epps' communication to the Black Hawks…?"

Nezu thought, 'The idea has crossed my mind, but unfortunately, we will just have to wait and see…'

As Spike ran across the roof of the white building, two Black Hawks were flying, following Spike as he held the signal flare like an Olympic torch. And in front of him, another Black Hawk had ascended with a co-pilot waiting by the doors for the handoff, with the pilot smirking and remarking through the radio, "We got the boy, package is ready for handoff…"

"Yes! Spike did it!" Some of Class 1-A & Class 1-B cheered, only for Monoma to ask, "But do the Decepticons know? Will they prevent the exchange?"

The worry as they remembered Starscream waiting for something was still fresh in their minds, they kept asking questions. Was this a trap? Will the military get the Allspark to safety? What is Starscream waiting for?

Spike rushed over as the co-pilot extended his hands out to receive the package, knowing full well they had to leave the warzone immediately. Spike extended the Allspark as far as he could, the awaiting fingers of the co-pilot just an inch or two from making contact with the mystical artifact.

"So close…" Melissa said as he pulled her knees close to her chin in tense anticipation, everyone else showed how tense they were, by either doing what Melissa did, or leaning in closer to the screen.

"Boy, they are really focused on this outcome…" Rosa whispered to her husband, as he gave her a knowing look, this was not over just yet.

"Just a little farther, son…" the co-pilot said as he and Spike reached closer, the pilot managing to get his fingertips to touch the relic, only for Spike to look to his left and shout, "Watch out!"

The co-pilot turned to look in the direction Spike looked at and saw Starscream fire missiles at the helicopter. The co-pilot shouted to his companion in the cockpit, "Missile! Brace for impact!" and the driver tried to swerve out of the missile's path, only for the missiles to strike right at the rotor engine of the chopper.

"NOOOOOO!" everyone in the theater screamed out as the impact caused the Black Hawk to begin an uncontrollable spin-out, the tail rotor nearly missing hitting Spike as the boy got as low to the ground as possible, narrowly missing getting cut to pieces by an inch.

"So f*cking close! DAMMIT!" Bakugo roared out in frustration, hitting his chair's armrests repeatedly with as much force as his anger would allow, bruising his hands.

Izuku shouted "dammit" at the same time as Bakugo did, especially when it showed the two Black Hawks following Spike were engaged in a "battle" with Skywarp and Thundercracker, Skywarp in particular cackling as he used his warping power to dodge missiles and gun turret fire.

"H-how are they going to get the Allspark away now?" Ashido struggled to ask, stressed as evidenced by her clutching her hair.

Tsuyu gulped and croaked nervously, "They only have one option now…kero…"

Pixie Bob said in disbelief, "No! They can't resort to THAT! Not Optimus!"

Spinner shouted, "She's right! The world still needs Optimus! He can't sacrifice his life to keep the Allspark from Megatron's clutches!"

Nezu's tail then perked up at the villain's exclamation, as a thought suddenly popped into his head, 'Wait a minute! If merging the Allspark with a Transformer's spark is considered suicide…what if the solution to defeating Megatron is, in a way, giving him what he wants…?'

The Black Hawk spun out of control and descended from the roof with Optimus Prime rushing from a lower rooftop on the outer edges of the building. He saw the helicopter and grabbed it mid-spiral then spun to lower it onto the roof safely as he shouted, "Hang on, Spike! I am coming!"

"Bravo Optimus! That was an exemplary show of heroics you just showed us!" Ida clapped and whooped with joy, as all the heroes and even the villains (minus AFO) cheered for Optimus for saving the pilots' lives.

"Stop Prime, Skywarp!" Onslaught shouted as he looked up from a block away. Skywarp acknowledged and began to confront Optimus, which resulted in a quick, but epic battle between the titans, eventually, after Optimus managed to fend off Skywarp's teleporting strikes with a saw blade on the Seeker, he fired his Ion Cannon predicting where the jet would appear next and struck him mid-teleport. The Seeker let out a horrifying scream in pain as he warped away, and a Death-Star-level sounding explosion rocked the windows of the Las Vegas buildings miles away.

"Whoo-hoo! Skywarp has just been scraped!" Present Mic cheered to try and uplift the students after the failure of the Black Hawk extraction. It worked a little as there were a few cheers from everyone, but they were more worried about how will the heroes of the film keep the world-creating relic from Megatron's clutches.

Spike got up onto his feet and began running away from the direction Starscream was standing, but to his right, the roof exploded with the ear-screeching sound of metal being forcibly twisted apart. Then a metal hand emerged from the hole Spike then turned away from as Megatron climbed out onto the rooftop. Spike panicked by denying that this was it, as Megatron got up on his feet and began stalking Spike like a predatory animal.

"Sh*t! It's Megatron!" Kaminari cursed as he tried to comfort Kyoka, who was not only startled by Megatron's appearance but also recovering from the sound of the Decepticon warmonger's entrance.

"Even worse, Spike is cornered!" Spinner exclaimed, hair clenched in his palms as he really hated that the Decepticons have effectively cut off any attempt to keep the Allspark out of their leader's clutches.

Izuku felt his anxiety over this situation reach a record sky-high height, his impulse to charge into the screen and help Spike reach a zenith as Sean held him down in his seat and tried to calm him down. He eventually stopped once he heard Uraraka begin to panic and the hero in him tried to calm her down.

Aizawa slammed his fist onto his seat's armrests, cursing, "Dammit! The Decepticons were wise to their plan, I should have known! Dammit!"

Midnight and Present Mic looked at their co-worker with shock and worry, they had never heard Aizawa curse at such a volume before, not since Oboro Shirakumo…

2:06:05-2:07:17

The two teachers brought their attention back to the screen, biting their lips hard to distract themselves over this, frankly, sh*tty situation they are in, or more so witness…

Spike was so desperate to keep the Allspark and his distance from Megatron, he held onto the outermost edge of the corner statue on the roof, hugging the statue like a lifeline as behind him, it was a maybe thirty-story drop to the ground.

"Oh, sh*t! He's literally hanging on for dear life!" Mineta cried out, his face morphing into a panic.

"And just when it seems victory was within the heroes' clutches, it was snatched away in the end…ha-ha-haa, this is probably the closest the villains came to win out of all the stories we've seen so far…" All For One chuckled as he grinned, enjoying this pull-from-under-the-rug the heroes fell for.

Clenching his clawed hands like a bird of prey, Megatron asked Spike in a low, menacing voice, "Is it fear or courage that compels you, fleshling? Did the weak-willed ideals of Prime, his idea of protecting the weak, compel you to assist them, to keep what is mine away from me?"

Izuku's anxiety was soon replaced by anger as once again (indirectly) Megatron spat and ridiculed the ideals he believed in, that Optimus believed in. He started to clench his hands, forgetting that one of them was on Ochako's back, making the girl squeak out…

"Ow! Deku, you're hurting me…"

Once he heard what Ochako said, he immediately let go and apologized, "Uraraka, I'm so sorry! I-I-I-I didn't mean to–…"

Uraraka placed a finger on his lips as she said with a sweet smile, "It's okay Deku, I know you didn't mean it…"

Izuku felt relieved, but he started to tenderly rub her back where he unintentionally hurt her to soothe the pain and make up for his blunder. Ochako managed to have a strong face, but inside her mind, she was both giddy with excitement, and panicking over how she was feeling her feelings for Izuku rise like a volcano.

'No! Stop it, Ochako! You can't have feelings for Deku! You are supposed to bury these feelings. For his sake and your own! Stop it!' Ochako thought, practically screaming in her head as she fought viciously to keep her growing blush from forming on her face.

Sean and Rosa noticed this brief exchange, and communicated…

~"Speaking from experience with our Uraraka and Midoriya, and our own experiences, it is clear that, like our Ochako, Uraraka is trying to bury these feelings she has for Izuku. We both know that is an unhealthy mindset to have…"~ Sean spoke first, with his wife responding…

~"Yeah, it is not a good idea to bury these feelings, so many regrets to come later. We should help those two out…which I guess is one reason why we are here because we helped our Izuku and Ochako sort out their feelings…"~

Sean nodded to her, then said after thinking for a few moments, ~"Maybe, but I don't think it was the real answer…something is telling me that our deity friend has us here for another reason…"~

Izanami looked away from the two like she was going to whistle to make herself less suspicious, but she didn't whistle. She redirected to the guests of this theater and witness Megatron slowly walk to Spike like he was reveling that his ultimate victory was so close at hand.

Soon, Megatron closed in on Spike, wrapping his arms around another statue as he then demanded while clenching his other fist, "Give me the Allspark boy, and you may live to be my pet…"

Spike nearly lost his footing and tried to maintain his balance from his precarious position, Megatron was momentarily distracted by a Black Hawk flying very close to him while it was in an aerial dogfight with Thundercracker.

Tsuyu asked the host about what Megatron said, "Kero…Megatron has to be lying, right?"

Izanami replied, "Oh yeah, Megatron is lying through his metal teeth. If Spike believed a word of what he said, the minute he is given the Allspark, Megatron would kill Spike without hesitation…"

"Truly, he puts the deception in Decepticon…what a lowlife villain…" Ida remarked, appalled at the mere suggestion Megatron gave Spike.

Izuku had a determined face as he said, "No, I will not give it to him if I was in Spike's position. He will not, and cannot win this battle, I will go to any lengths to prevent Megatron's plans from succeeding…"

It seemed that after this proclamation, everyone agreed with Izuku Midoriya, and further evidenced when Spike defiantly replied to Megatron…

"I am NEVER GIVING YOU THIS ALLSPARK, MEGATRON!" Megatron could tell by the tone, the words, and what he could guess was his face, the boy was adamant in his proclamation.

"HELL YEAH! Stick it to that creep, Witwicky!" Ashido, Pony, Setsuna, Kirishima, Tetsutetsu, and Kyoka shouted with the hard heads adding, "That was a manly statement to that unmanly Megatron!"

"Go to f*cking hell, Mega-sh*thead! You won't get squat from me!" Bakugo roared out as all the students and children shouted at Megatron's "offer" and told him where he could stick it.

AFO commented, "Witwicky is braver than I gave him credit for, I will concede to that. But, given his position, probably not the wisest move on his part…"

Megatron let out a frustrated growl as he then said, "Oh, so unwise, boy…"

The way Megatron said that, the tone he said it in, sent red flags in everyone's minds. Not so much that Megatron will just take the Allspark by force, but he is plotting to do something worse to Spike as a response to the boy's proclamation.

"Oh, sh*t! He's going to kill Witwicky!" Kaminari exclaimed in shock, to everyone's already increased worry as Megatron added…

"If you feel that strongly, boy…" Megatron snarled as he activated his Energon mace, then finished, "Then I will simply take what is mine from your cold, lifeless husk! Die, like all those who opposed me!"

Megatron swung his mace at the corner of the building, causing an explosion that broke the statue of a cloaked woman Spike clung to in half. Spike screamed as he, still clutching the Allspark in his hand, began his thirty-story fall to his death.

"NOOOO!" all the pro-heroes and the students screamed as they lurched forward.

Izuku and Mirio felt their instincts kick into overdrive and impulsively began to charge at the screen to save Spike's life. But, they then heard a finger snap, and then both boys felt their bodies seize up and find themselves incapable of moving as the two felt two fingers at the side of their necks.

"Seriously, you two need to chill…" Izanami said, with the others noticing that there were bright blue vortexes behind Midoria and Mirio, with a left hand for Izuku, and a right for Mirio, pressed against their necks, which seemed to paralyze the two boys.

Ochako looked behind her to see the arms belonged to Sean Hashimoto, the young man saying, "Look you two, I don't think Kiddo would appreciate you wrecking his screen because of a knee-jerk reaction. Just sit down and relax, Spike is not in any danger of dying. Continue watching and see why…"

He pulled back his hands from Izanami's mini-portals and both Midoriya and Mirio felt themselves capable of moving again. But Izuku felt something was, off, as he thought…

'That's odd…' Izuku looked at his hand, and clenched his hand in a grasping motion, '…why does it feel like…One For All is…missing? No, it's still there, but I can't feel its energy at all…like it's blocked or something…'

He redirected his attention back to the screen as Spike still was screaming as he fell to his death…

Only for Optimus Prime's hand to catch and cushion Spike's fall, which erupted into applause as everyone was relieved and ecstatic at Optimus Prime came in for the save.

"Bravo, Optimus Prime, bravo!" Midnight and Pixie Bob exclaimed while clapping their hands.

"What an excellent save, Optimus. A good show of how to save someone from a lethal fall…" Nezu smiled as he lightly clapped in applause.

Even the villains were impressed with Optimus' save, and while nothing extraordinary like his saving the Black Hawk pilots, he had to have had a keen intuition to figure out where Spike will fall, and how to catch and cushion his fall.

All For One grumbled as he said to himself under his breath, "Again, Prime proves himself a bigger thorn in my side than any other hero we were forced to watch this far…"

Itsuka Kendo saw one way she could rescue someone with a larger hand and then noticed Izuku Midoriya having that analytical look in his eyes. She then asked him, "Hey, Midoriya? Could you take notes on how Optimus saved Witwicky, please? I want to see if I could try something similar…"

"S-sure thing, Kendo-san…" Izuku replied and got to work putting down the notes at breakneck speed as the scene continued.

Optimus pulled Spike onto his chest as he used the two buildings as support as he had an arm on one side of a building, and his legs against the opposite of another building. He calmly said to Spike as the boy regained his composure, "I got you, Spike."

Optimus activated his battle mask as he then said to Spike, "Hold on to the Cube, and hang on to me, this may get bumpy…"

Optimus proceeded to get back to ground level as he used his legs and free arm (with one shielding Spike and the Allspark to his chest, and slide down and jumped from the two sides of the building. Everyone gasped as they soon saw Megatron look down and immediately jumped off the building he was on, shouting out Optimus Prime's name as he then grabbed his nemesis and both leaders of opposing factions fell all the way down to an intersection, crashing to the pavement and making a large congregation of human civilians to flee in terror as fast as possible. Everyone felt the floor beneath them lurch up at the small tremors the Transformers created, thanks to the enhanced screening room.

"You have got to be sh*tting me!" Bakugo groaned out in bitterness, "How much does that Mega-sh*thead want that Cube to risk destroying it with his stupid stunt?"

Nezu knew Bakugo's question was rhetorical, but he answered anyways, "Some villains could be so desperate to get what they are after, that it matters not the lengths they will go to, just to obtain what they are after. Villains like this are the most dangerous kinds any hero will come across, so you students best be wary of their kind…"

The students nodded nervously, but the four children were more worried about Optimus Prime and Spike, wondering and hoping they will be okay…

Amidst the screams of numerous fleeing humans, Megatron groaned as he tried to reorient himself, noticing one human man struggling to get on his feet and flee. Megatron sneered as this human was too close for his liking and remarked in a revulsed tone, "Disgusting, filthy creatures…" Megatron then flicked the man and he bounced off the asphalt and collided with the rear bumper of a taxi.

"Accurate, I'll confess…but still, rude…!" Mina retorted to Megatron calling humans "disgusting" and taking offense to that.

Hawks added, "Well, to an alien robot, we might be seen in a similar light that we put cockroaches in…"

Rosa snickered at that scene, which prompted Tenya Ida to remark, "How is Megatron seriously harming, or killing a human any form of a laughing matter?!"

Rosa was quick to respond, "Oh, I'm sorry, it is a serious matter that is not funny in the slightest, but my amusement comes from the fact of seeing this film as a fictional movie rather than a window to another reality. It's a behind-the-scenes gag that the visual effects artists of Industrial Light & Magic made. Apparently, they like making all sorts of jokes and some crew members' expense at times, so that man Megatron flicked away with his finger was supposed to be the director of the film himself, Michael Bay."

Momo asked, a little appalled at this information, "Why would they do something like that?"

Izanami answered, "During the production of some films, the cast and crew very much form a kind of family with each other, and that also means they love pulling practical jokes on each other. This is definitely part of that kind of humor, and also as a tongue-in-cheek jab at Michael Bay, due to him having a reputation of being a bit of a nutcase while working, or something like that. What makes it more amusing is that Bay is fully aware of what ILM did, and took the jab and joke like an adult, he even found it amusing himself…"

Hearing that, the audience imagined what it might have been like, and admittedly, they started to laugh themselves. Some are fully aware of the pre-quirk era filmmaker's reputation, and they thought it was a pretty funny joke, especially if the guy who's the butt of the joke found it amusing himself.

"Man, filmmakers sound like they have an absolute blast when making a film. Kinda jealous…" Kirishima remarked, wiping the tears of laughter threatening to be shed.

Mr. Compress replied, "I agree with you, boy. Most in show business have an impeccable sense of humor…"

Izuku shook his head to get out the last bits of laughter out of his system as he refocused on the film, especially as the music took on a decidedly more serious tone…

2:07:27-2:08:22

-[Play Optimus Vs. Megatron - Transformers: The Score]-

The camera soon focused on Spike and Optimus Prime, the music picking up again by starting quietly, but there was an underlying tone to it that told everyone, this is it. This is do-or-die time, one last battle between the leaders of the two warring factions, for the power to revitalize their world, or conquer the universe.

"Spike, you have risked everything, including your life, protecting the Allspark from Megatron…" Optimus said as he deactivated his battle mask, where one could see the faintest scars of many past battles strewn across his face.

"As my family motto says, 'No Sacrifice, No Victory'…" Spike said looking directly into Optimus Prime's eyes, a look of understanding. The teenager still holding onto the cube in his arms, heard Megatron struggle to get up a little.

"That is a very important family motto to have, with no sacrifice, there can be no victory. And Optimus knows what he has to do now." Aizawa said aloud to no one in particular, the message was clear to any who understood him.

"Spike, listen to me. I will confront Megatron to end this once and for all. If I cannot defeat him, you must push the Cube into my chest to destroy it as a last resort." Optimus spoke to Spike, with resolute conviction in his voice, "I will sacrifice myself to prevent the subjugation of countless innocent worlds at his hand, or the destruction of your world…"

Both Optimus and Spike heard Megatron get back to his feet, Optimus ordering Spike to get behind him as he confronted his brother. Everyone could tell that this time, Optimus wasn't looking to just beat Megatron, he was resolute in killing him to stop the war if he can, or die trying to slay the tyrant.

"It is you and me, Megatron…" Optimus spoke in a low voice as he struggled to his feet.

"No, it's just me, Prime. And you will face the same wrath of anyone who opposes me, brother!" Megatron snarled at his former friend.

Everyone watched in silence as Optimus soon activated his battle mask and got into a fighting stance along with his enemy, as Optimus Prime further demonstrated his resolve by making a promise to Megatron, the two titans grappling with each other with hands locked…

"At the end of this day…"

"…One shall stand, One shall fall…"

"Jesus! That is bone-chilling to hear…" Setsuna remarked as she (like the rest of the audience) felt goosebumps at hearing this.

"Yeah, it is another way of saying, 'one of us will die after this battle' and that just sends shivers up my spine…" Shoji added, he could feel the conviction in Optimus' voice.

'One shall stand, one shall fall…it makes me think of One For All and All For One, and how by the coming storm, either All For One perishes, or young Midoriya…' Toshinori Yagi thought in his mind, he knew that on some level, Optimus and Megatron's dynamic was like the two quirks. He hoped that when Midoriya and All For One have their final confrontation, it is Midoriya who stands at the end of it all.

As for Izuku Midoriya, the idea All Might had in his mind was present as well in his. He knows that sooner or later, he will have his final confrontation with the creator of One For All, like how Optimus Prime has with Megatron. He only wished that by that time, he has gotten powerful enough to beat the evil demon-king wannabe.

All For One did not lose the comparison his two enemies were thinking himself. The last line Optimus Prime said to Megatron sent a chill up his spine, he could tell Optimus is more than willing to kill his former brother-in-arms to keep the peace. He would meet the same fate if he ever confronted the Autobot.

'I will be the one who will stand in the end, and you will fall, Izuku Midoriya…' All For One thought menacingly as he wished Optimus will fall at Megatron's hands, as Jazz and Prowl did.

'It is almost cute he really thinks that…almost…' Izanami thought as she suppressed her urge to annihilate the villain puppet master, 'Sadly for him, his goal and behavior, all his life choices, has only ensured that fate will deal with him and he perishes in a manner befitting his greed and misplaced ambitions…'

Seeing Spike move through the crevice in the street, Allspark close at hand, one could see in his face, a plan forming, and a determination that made most of the audience respect him.

"It seems he's planning for something, but what?" Momo wondered, not sure what it is that Spike was thinking.

'Oh, very clever Witwicky…' Nezu thought as he figured out what Spike intends to do with the Allspark, but kept it to himself to avoid spoilers.

Everyone's questions about Spike's plan were put aside as they heard the sounds of a robot getting the utter tar beaten out of him. And to everyone's shock, it was Optimus on the receiving end of the beatdown.

"Megatron…he's…he's thrashing Optimus around…like he's nothing…" Kyoka whimpered as something inside her felt like her heart cracked, to see Optimus getting the stuffing beaten out of him.

Megatron punched Optimus to the ground, then grabbed his shoulders to knee the Autobot commander in the face, then tossed him over his shoulder. All the while mocking his opponent, "You still fight for the weak, Prime. That is why you lose! You're just as weak as the weaklings you fight for!"

"On the contrary, Megatron. My friends are the source of my strength…"

Everyone turned their heads in the direction that the voice came from behind them and saw it was Sean Hashimoto saying that last line, doing a near-perfect impersonation of the Autobot.

"Dude," Kaminari said with wide eyes and a slacked jaw, "That…is a scary good impression of Optimus Prime. I swore for a second he was in the room with us…"

"I watched one too many cartoons as a kid, and sort of developed a talent for making near-perfect impressions of any voice I hear…" Sean said, which made everyone even more amazed.

"You can impersonate anyone, just by their voice?!" Setsuna asked, to which Sean answered in Setsuna's voice perfectly, "Anyone, Togake-san…"

Mineta felt chills run up his spine hearing a man sound just like the girl he impersonated, and whispered to Kaminari, "Yeesh! That is creepy…if he was dressed up as a girl, and I heard that voice, I would totally be convinced he was a girl himself…"

Hitoshi Shinso felt extremely jealous of Sean's rather unique talent, especially as his wife elaborated that Sean was often asked by some creatives to do some professional voice work before, because of his almost Mel Blanche or Robin William levels of impersonation. The purple-haired boy had to use a support gear to mimic others' voices to use his quirk, and the married man could do the same with his voice alone. He then thought, perhaps, he could learn a thing or two from Sean Hashimoto, to better his skills to be a hero.

After Sean did six quick (and spot-on) impressions of Izuku Midoriya, Mina Ashido, All Might, Mirio Togata, All For One, and Twice to prove his chameleon levels of impersonation, to prove his skill was legitimate, the film resumed as Megatron continued beating Optimus Prime, to the delight of a certain Shadow King of Japan.

2:08:22-2:08:58

Everyone felt tense as after Spike was seen looking at the battle being waged by Optimus Prime and Megatron, the scene changed to Lennox's group, accompanied by Arcee, Longarm, and Chromia moving down an alleyway not far from the two leaders' clash.

"This is it, the do-or-die part of the battle…" David said, with All Might patting his former sidekick's shoulder as he said, "Yeah, either the Autobots win, or the Decepticons. To protect the universe, or to enslave it…"

"Way to lay it on thick why don't you, Toshinori…" Midnight jabbed playfully as most of her fellow faculty members laughed a little at All Might's slight embarrassment.

Seeing civilians looking up and fleeing made everyone nervous, with Pony asking, "What has gotten them so spooked? Don't tell me it's more Allspark Mutations or more Decepticons…"

Sure enough, the soldiers took cover by the alleyway's walls as powerful gusts of wind came from Blackout's Pave Low helicopter mode, and he transformed into robot mode and looked around until he began walking toward something down the street.

"What got that ugly mofo's attention?" Tetsutetsu asked, but before anyone could speculate, the answer was shown by further down the street, the battle of Optimus Prime vs Megatron was taking place, the Autobot managing to barely fight back after the beating he took from his enemy.

Izuku's expression tensed as he saw Blackout activate his tail rotor as a buzz saw, and walk to the battle holding the saw as a weapon clearly intended for one target.

"Optimus Prime…" he answered Tetsutetsu's question, "…He must've caught Blackout's attention as he was fighting Megatron. Now Blackout is going to assist his master in taking down Optimus!"

Ida had a little panic on his face as he said, "Blackout needs to be stopped immediately! If he joins this confrontation…Optimus is sure to perish…"

That made everyone immediately worried as Kinoko asked, "What are we going to do? If we don't do something, Optimus Prime is shroomed!"

Kodai replied while trying to calm herself down, "We can't do anything, but Captain Lennox and the rest of that group can. We also have to worry about Onslaught, Thundercracker, and Starscream joining Blackout in taking Optimus down…"

"Starscream would most likely not bother helping Megatron considering his treacherous mannerisms. But, we have to consider Swindle and Barricade, one fled and the other wasn't confirmed dead…" Shoji added, folding his arms with a tense expression over not wanting Optimus to die here.

Nezu overheard and added his two cents to the conversation, "As the old saying goes; to pronounce someone dead, produce the body. This caution should also be applied to Skywarp, as he was never actually shown to be dead himself, merely interrupted mid-teleport…"

"You're saying that guy's still alive?" Present Mic asked his boss, to which he simply answered, "Given the nature of the films all our previous hosts showed us, we should assume that unless we see a corpse, we shouldn't assume someone is dead…"

"Skywarp does survive, FYI…" Izanami answered, "But that blast took him out of the Battle of Las Vegas. So it means he won't participate in this film anymore…"

Izuku quickly changed the fates of Barricade and Skywarp after hearing that, especially Skywarp's fate as their host confirmed the Decepticon assassin did survive that explosion, and apparently the battle too after its conclusion.

"Fighter jets in 60 seconds." Epps said to the group after listening to the radio, then spoke through the radio, likely to the pilots on the other side, "We got friendlies mixed with bad guys. Targets will be marked by laser."

"Finally! What the actual f*ck took those pilots so long!" Bakugo growled loudly, with Ida trying in vain to explain the F-22s being delayed.

Izanami answered, "The air base the F-22s came from was Nellis Air Force Base, it is the same one that Lennox and his team were at before Sector Seven asked the soldiers to come with them. It actually is not that far from Las Vegas itself, but the main issue is that as structured as a film, the pilots getting ready was likely taking place at the same time as the battle here."

"Nellis? I remember that base, I did some extensive work there once upon a time…" David commented, "I also remember it has a Thunderbirds museum on its premises."

Once Epps finished his message, Lennox patted his friend's shoulder and said, "Bring the rain. All right?"

The captain then remarked as he held his gun in position, "All right boys! Let's kill these bastards…once and for all…"

"I have one idea…" Arcee said as she transformed into her motorcycle mode, "Hop on and get ready, captain. I think the rest doesn't have to be said…"

"Sheesh…bloodthirsty, ain't he…?" Twice asked, then replied to himself, "Nah! He's thirsty for some good old payback…"

"Not like they have any choice in just capturing these guys…" Izuku bitterly muttered to himself, so low in volume only those with sensitive hearing could hear the boy, "I hate that they have to kill these guys, but they are fighting a war. Casualties in wars are unavoidable, but there has got to be a better way to end it, other than just killing the enemy…"

"Ooo! What is my girl, Arcee planning?" Mina asked excitedly, the music building higher to a crescendo.

Onslaught looked at his sensors and ordered through their comms, "Thundercracker, Starscream! We have the humans' aerial fighters inbound! Deal with them! Swindle, get your crankshaft back here now before Megatron decides to tear out your Spark for your cowardice!"

Seeing the jeep-mode Swindle in another part of the city quickly make a 180 turn back to the battlefield, prompted All Might to say, "How much of a grip does Megatron have over the Decepticons to make a coward like Swindle decide that running away was worse than dying in vain on a battlefield? It makes me sick that Megatron has such power over his army…"

"You're not the only one, All Might. It makes me sick myself…" Aizawa replied, surprising the former number-one hero. As the soldiers, Arcee, Longarm, and Chromia readied themselves into position to take on Blackout. Overhearing Chromia briefly explains that the remaining Autobots (Ratchet, Ironhide, and Sideswipe) were heading to the other side of the battlefield to flank and deal with the remaining Combaticons.

As they got into position, Lennox reminded his group, "Remember, aim low. Armor's weak under the chest. Go for the gaps between the armor plates."

Nezu remarked, "Oh, so Lennox actually paid attention to where the new Autobot recruit's weapons struck Brawl, and found the area their weapons are most effective. That's a military captain for you, like Captain Rogers, Lennox is definitely more strategically minded…"

"I question that, considering they allowed the Decepticons to ambush them within a populated sector, sir. But, that's a moot point right now…" Aizawa replied, just wanting the Decepticons dealt with swiftly now to prevent more collateral damage to Las Vegas, and prevent civilians from being in the crossfire any longer.

2:08:58-2:09:25

Everyone felt tense as the soldiers and a few Autobots got into position, weapons aimed at Blackout on one end, and Chromia aimed her weapon at Onslaught from atop a building.

"How did she get up there so fast?" Kosei asked, with Pony replying, "Not the time to ask questions, Tsuburaba!"

Lennox hopped onto Arcee and the pair drove a little distance to get into position for the attack. Epps aimed a targeting laser saying the target is marked and waiting for the Air Force to engage.

Nirengeki Shoda commented, "Will the Air Force really be able to take down those Decepticons? Even if they were armed with weapons effective against the Transformers' body armor?"

Melissa replied to the Twin-Impact user, "Don't underestimate the United States Air Force. They were considered the most advanced and powerful military force on the planet back then, and they still technically are today for us…"

But everyone saw the battle between Optimus and Megatron, and see that Optimus was back to being on the defensive against Megatron. Prompting Shoto Todoroki to remark with a little fear, "And this is Megatron not at his peak, how much more formidable would he be at his original strength?"

His sister, Fuyumi, remarked, "I don't want to think about it…"

Gentle Criminal added, "I agree, it paints a very unfortunate picture I do not wish to think about…"

Seeing the pilots flying the F-22 Raptors, one of them likely replying to Epps' relay that the strike force was 20 seconds away from the marked target, ie Blackout. They saw in a wide shot of the North Vegas skyline around 11 jets flying toward the towers of smoke from the battlefield.

"Wow…that's quite a few jets…" Honenuki remarked as a further 4 jets showed up, bringing the total to fifteen.

"But two of them are likely Starscream and Thundercracker in disguise, flying in formation so as to not draw suspicion and then execute the pilots…" Jurota commented, folding his arms tightly in anticipation.

Arcee and Lennox got into position and swerved back to the direction they came from, waiting for the right moment to spring the attack on Blackout, too focused on assisting his master. Epps spoke to the radio, saying while keeping the targeting laser pointed, "F-22s, we're still waiting. Target moving to unfavorable position…"

Blackout readied and cocked his weapons in loud, yet satisfying clicks, a green dot of light dancing along his frame being the targeting laser. As the laser danced onto his open hand, he took notice of it, evidenced by the vicious warrior opening his closed, three-fingered hand and exclaiming in a little confusion.

"Oh, Sh*t!" was what around 2/3rds of the audience shouted in unison once Blackout noticed the targeting laser on his hand.

After he made a confused noise, Blackout noticed the green light was a beam of sorts, then swiftly turned to the direction of where the light came from. His eyes narrowed as he fully turned his attention onto the humans and Autobots and fully aimed his weapons at them, snarling and saying, "You!" in the Cybertronian language, the targeting laser now pointed squarely at his chest.

"F*cking move it, extras!" Bakugo shouted as Epps told everyone to move out after his eyes widened in a panic. The panic that Epps had in regard to Blackout was shared by the audience.

"Eeek! Blackout is so creepy!" Mina and Toru squeaked in fright at Blackout's snarled expression and hid behind the seats in front of the two girls.

2:09:25-2:10:03

Everyone jumped once Blackout fired his concussive Energon cannons, the soldiers initially dodging the first projectile as it collided with an abandoned car, then the shockwave blasted through and tore up the car, the other vehicles beside it, and the pavement. And they felt the rush of wind and the lurching of the floor thanks to the enhancements in the room, even feeling a fraction of the red-hot heat of the blast.

"Yikes! That was WAY too close for comfort/Not close enough, he should've murdered those guys!" Twice exclaimed with his multiple personalities clashing.

"Oh my, if this heat was even a fraction of what the actual blast was like, we would've been vaporized instantly…" Shiozaki commented and prayed, wishing that the Autobots and their human allies will stop the Decepticons.

Soon, to everyone's shock, Longarm rushed to Blackout and twisted the arm Blackout fired from and ripped the cannon off his arm, then proceeded to climb onto Blackout's back. The action distracted Blackout as the Decepticon tried to shake him off.

"What is Longarm doing?!" Mahoro and Katsuma asked, they and Kota were very surprised at the Autobot's bold move against a much larger opponent.

Longarm tore off pieces of Blackout's body, especially the buzz saw the helicopter intended to use on Optimus, then shouted as he kicked Blackout on the bend of the Decepticon's knee, "Hit him now! I'll hold Blackout down!"

"Incoming!" Epps shouted as Lennox and Arcee charged at Blackout, the F-22s had arrived and proceeded to fly within striking range of Blackout. One pilot said as he pressed a button or two and flipped a few switches, "Weapons armed. Status green. Opening fire onto the target."

Seeing the first jets fly toward Blackout, then firing their missiles, and Blackout trying to fight back at the soldiers firing at him, on top of trying to get Longarm off of him, made everyone think this was total chaos.

Chromia fired upon Onslaught and distracted the strategist enough for not only Swindle to return and open fire, but for Chromia's teammates to engage the Combaticons as well.

"Holy…how can you keep up with this?!" Kirishima exclaimed as his eyes darted around the screen to try and follow the battle, Tetsutetsu passed out of dizziness trying to keep track and was then woken up by Itsuka.

Rosa remarked as Onslaught put up a ferocious fight against Ironhide and Sideswipe with the strategist unleashing an explosive barrage that made Bakugo salivate at the destructive power on display, "Be glad that the Transformers are colorful enough to somewhat stand out…"

Lennox and Arcee then slid onto the ground as they opened fire on Blackout, Arcee landed a couple of good hits around the chest from her blasters, while Lennox landed a shot right at the crotch of Blackout as he slid between his legs.

The men cringed and covered their own crotches, hissing at the unfortunate place Lennox fired his sabot shot on the Decepticon.

Mina snickered as she whispered to the other girls, "Boys…am I right?" and the other girls giggled at the expense of the boys.

The missiles fired by the F-22s hit Blackout right as Lennox landed his "lucky shot" and some of the missiles generated explosions that broke past Blackout and did severe damage to Longarm as the Autobot held the Decepticon hunter down.

Everyone's varied expressions morphed into shock and worry as they remembered that Longarm held Blackout down.

"Oh no, Longarm…kero…" Tsuyu Asui croaked nervously, but Tokoyami interrupted, "They have to focus on Megatron and those two Combaticons. While the damage looks severe, Longarm could walk away from that…"

'Oh, I don't think he will, sadly…' Izanami thought as she took a sip of water, knowing Transformers biology enough to know that that injury was more severe than it looked.

Lennox shouted and laughed a little as he slid behind Blackout and Longarm, the Decepticon's colors dulled the lifeless greys that signified a dead Transformer, and dropped dead face first onto the ground, glowing blue Energon leaking from his wounds. Longarm got off of Blackout's back before the giant fell, and his entire torso looked like it went through a metal grinder, and then collapsed onto his back after stumbling a few steps back.

Arcee noticed and called out as she began to move toward him, "Longarm. Are you–?"

"D-don't worry about me!" Longarm interrupted his teammate, "Stop Megatron! No matter the cost, he cannot get the Allspark!"

Everyone panicked a little as they saw that Longarm was more damaged from that assault than they initially thought, especially seeing him bleed out Energon from all over his torso. They could see the hesitancy in Arcee's eyes, and then she closed them and nodded in affirmation, and turned to the Decepticon warmonger.

"That looks serious! Is Longarm going to be okay?!" Nejire asked, clasping her hands together nervously.

Himiko Toga thought in her mind as her own worries got to her, 'Please Longarm, you can't join Jazz and Prowl…please be okay…'

Shiozaki began praying as everyone let out a quick chuckle as Lennox was a little high on adrenaline, then ordered the rest of his unit to move out and take down Megatron.

"Now, for the final boss…" Tomura Shigaraki said, not caring at all that the heroes were winning, as in a strange twist of fate, he liked the heroes in this film (one in particular), and hated the villains. Or more accurately, he hated the villains' plan.

2:10:03-2:10:35

After Lennox told the others to move, the scene cut back to Spike Witwicky, hiding beside the battle against the two leaders, a look on his face telling everyone a clear understanding of what he was doing.

"Spike is waiting for the right opportunity…" Tsuyu Asui commented, finger to her lips.

Monoma finished the frog girl's thoughts, analyzing the situation, "…But, Class 1-A girl, the opportunity for what? What is he waiting for, is what concerns me the most…"

Izuku thought about it, everything that has happened prior, all the information, and began trying to paint the puzzle that was laid before him.

'So, Megatron seeks to use the Allspark for power, and his first business is to transform Earth's machines into a new army to conquer the rest of the universe. Optimus initially sent the Allspark off of Cybertron to keep Megatron from abusing its powers of creating worlds and lifeforms upon them, which was how it and in turn, Megatron, ended up on Earth in the first place. As it can withstand anything on Earth, there and ours, the only way apparently to destroy it is for Optimus to unite the Allspark with his own spark, which will destroy them both…'

Izuku's eyes widened as his inner thoughts started to leak out as his usual Midoriya mutterings, making Ochako giggle nervously at his habit and annoying Katsuki Bakugo and a few others.

"Hey! Deku, shut the hell–!" Bakugo began to shout out, only for Midoriya to lurch from his seat standing straight up and shouting, "THAT'S IT!"

"Don't interrupt me when I'm talking to you, stupid Deku!" Bakugo barked out, while initially surprised at him interrupting his talking, was more so insulted at Deku interrupting him.

"What's it, Midoriya?" Ida asked after he regained his composure being surprised by the green-haired boy's outburst.

Nezu knew that Izuku was thinking the same thing he did, and playfully remarked, "Oh, I am glad someone else realized it like I did…"

"Wait! You know something and didn't bother to tell us, boss?" Present Mic summed up what all the teachers thought once they heard the head of U-A High.

All Might asked Izuku, "Well tell us what you learned to result in a reaction like that, young Midoriya?"

Izuku was embarrassed by his exclamation and answered his mentor, "W-well, I just figured out something else on how the Autobots could destroy the Allspark to keep it from Megatron's clutches…"

"Wait! You're telling me that there's a way to destroy the Allspark, without Optimus sacrificing his life?" Spinner asked, which made All For One growl under his breath that Optimus Prime would stick around and be an annoyance to him.

Izanami then asked, "Are you sure it would be the best option Midoriya? Are you sure Optimus would even allow such a thing?"

Yaoyarozu replied, "What are you talking about? If the only thing that can destroy the Allspark is for Optimus to unite it with his own Spark, then why would you…say…"

Her face contorted from contemplation at the words coming out of her mouth, then in shock and surprise that an obvious solution to destroying the Allspark was right in front of their faces, one where Optimus doesn't end his life in self-sacrifice. One by one, like a wave, everyone then realized the solution that Nezu, Midoriya, and Yaoyarozu soon realized.

Nezu then asked his students a question, "Well, if guaranteeing the destruction of the Allspark is for Optimus Prime to unite it with his Spark, then who's to say that the one who does the deed should be Optimus himself?"

"So, you're saying…" David Shield asked, "The one who does the deed, could be any Transformer? Even an enemy?"

"The chance for Optimus to end the war is a few feet in front of him, then why the f*ck is he not doing it!" Bakugo roared, not understanding why he is not shoving the Allspark into Megatron's Spark.

"I feel like a broken record player…" Izanami muttered to herself, then said again, "Again, I reiterate. WHY would Optimus resort to that option in the first place? WOULD he be willing to execute such an extreme response?"

"More extreme than committing suicide with that option?!" Kamikiri asked, with Pony adding, "I don't see why would Optimus not just shove the Allspark in his chest. The war would be over, and the Allspark won't fall into the wrong hands, right?"

Sean replied, "Sure, that makes sense in a logical manner. But, from a moral standpoint, from what you know about Optimus' philosophy and beliefs, his character. Would he do it, to someone he considered a brother, and still hopes that he could change for the better?"

There were many who tried to retort, but, when they thought about it, suddenly, any counterargument they tried to say died in their throats.

Izuku finally answered, in a sad tone, "No, Optimus is willing to kill for the sake of peace, but he will not use the Allspark to end another's life. It goes against everything he stands for, and what the Allspark means to his race."

"Correct…" Izanami said, "Optimus is many things to many people, but heartless isn't really one word to describe him, not unless we're talking about a mirror universe where everyone's moral compass is flipped to its polar opposite. Heroes are villains and villains are heroes…"

"That sounds dumb…" Shigaraki thought aloud, the idea of a mirror universe sounded really absurd, even though he has first-hand accounts of the multiverse being real.

Izanagi added, "Optimus carries within himself, a sense of responsibility and accountability. Even if he didn't intend it, he was indirectly responsible for Cybertron being a dead planet, and bringing Earth into his planet's conflict. If giving his life to destroy the one thing responsible for both is the way to make amends for his mistakes, he will do so willingly…"

This really unsettled most of everyone who really wanted Optimus Prime to live, completely unaware of what their host, her brother, and her assistants know about the film, one way or another.

But the screen grabbed their attention as it showed Optimus getting utterly thrashed by Megatron, the Autobot commander at the mercy of the warmonger's assault. But right as Megatron walked to the downed Optimus after kicking him in the face, the Air Force pilots readying for a second wave of attacks to finish Megatron off. Suddenly, one of the F-22s transformed into Thundercracker and alarmed the human pilots.

"Oh, sh*t! No wonder Onslaught wanted Starscream and Thundercracker to take out the planes…" Setsuna Togake remarked, wide-eyed and pale with everyone else at seeing Thundercracker easily dispatch three F-22s.

Ochako Uraraka remembered how utterly expensive the fighter jets were, and seeing three of them getting totaled was much more of a monetary shock than the one Iron Man accidentally destroyed. As the thoughts of over 100 million dollars worth each were just turned to scrap metal nearly made her faint.

Even as a few of the pilots peeled off the main attack at the second wave to combat the blue Seeker, some took quick notice of something odd…

"Wait a f*cking minute! Where is that Starscream bastard?" Bakugo called out, letting everyone know what he noticed, and plenty found it odd, especially as it seemed that Thundercracker was then pursued by the other pilots, one of them saying to the others to not lose him.

Hawks remarked as one F-22 narrowly avoided a swipe by Thundercracker, "Wow! Flying at the speeds these guys are, to have a reaction time like that is very impressive. I guess this is why the Air Force is the top dog in aerial combat in the military."

2:10:35-2:10:58

As the music drew to a close, Lennox ordered the ground troops to take Megatron out as the F-22s that stayed focused on the second wave, launched a barrage of missiles at Megatron. Spike soon sprung into action, as the missiles hit Megatron, Swindle, and Onslaught, the latter two being blown into buildings from the recoil and vanishing from sight in the rubble. As Spike slid from under Megatron, the Decepticon tyrant kept getting pelted by the F-22 missiles. Optimus, Arcee, Ironhide, Sideswipe, and Ratchet either rolled away or dove for cover as the missiles delivered devastating damage to Megatron.

"Damn! He may be a horrible villain, but Megatron is so freaking tough that it's manly for him to take all that punishment!" Kirishima remarked with wide eyes, seeing Megatron being forced onto his knees after taking 12 missiles aimed at him, 9 of which hit him directly.

Despite being brought to his knees, Megatron growled angrily in hatred that mere humans forced him onto his knees and made him bleed. He tried to get up but was then pelted by a further twenty shots fired by Lennox and the other armed soldiers.

"You dare attack me!" Megatron roared out as in retaliation, he defiantly aimed his fusion cannon to the F-22s and fired, generating an explosion that obliterated the jet he aimed for, and destroying two others from the blast radius.

Megatron then saw Spike on the floor, with the Allspark in the boy's arms, then made a mad dash after him to claim the Allspark. But, Optimus, still conscious after the beating he endured, willed himself through his pain and swung his arm at Megatron's legs, tripping the warmonger into sailing over Spike's head, and being pelted by more sabot round projectiles fired upon his silvery frame, and by Arcee, Chromia, and Ratchet.

"Normally, I would say you're exaggerating…" Mina said to Kirishima as she saw this with wide eyes, "…but shoot! You are right, Kirishima. Megatron is taking one hell of a beating and still refuses to go down and stay down…"

David saw the look in Optimus Prime's eyes as he defiantly pushed through the pain he endured to further deny Megatron his prize, saying to All Might, "Kinda reminds me of you when you were pushed pretty far years ago…"

All Might chuckled as he said, "Yeah…guess Optimus has the same iron-clad will I do…and Midoriya has…"

He whispered that last part, as Izuku saw that all the energy Optimus had to continue his fight against Megatron was spent. He noted, "Optimus had likely put all his remaining power into that attack, he's likely too hurt to continue fighting…"

He looked sadly to the ground as he finished, "He's likely exhausted everything he could to stop Megatron, and will almost assuredly use his last resort…"

Mei overheard and was silent for quite a few minutes, until she finished Izuku's thoughts for him, "…Destroying the Allspark…by using his own spark…"

2:10:58-2:11:35

Everyone tensed up as Megatron was now within his arm's reach of his prize, within Spike's clutches. Given what they knew of the Allspark's capabilities so far, they were worried that Megatron just needed to touch the source of power to become unstoppable, even undoing the damage done to him.

"No! He's way too close! Megatron cannot get the Allspark!" Ida shouted, panic swelling in his eyes.

"Come on you soldier extras! Kill that f*cking b*t*h already!" Bakugo roared as he clutched the seat in front of him to begin damaging it from the heat of his explosion quirk activating.

Spike, avoiding getting hit in the head as Megatron sailed over him, landed on his back onto the floor. He was now facing the Decepticon tyrant face to face, panic in his eyes as he saw Megatron glower at him hatefully, seeing the scars of many battles on Megatron's detailed face.

Everyone thought Megatron was terrifying before, but seeing the unadulterated hate in his optics, the hate plastered on his face. It sent a chill up everyone's spines they had not felt such intensity before, it made their minds kick into instinctual survival mode.

"Oh my god!" Momo Yaoyarozu gasped as she tried to distance herself from the non-existent distance between her and Megatron, "How could anyone be filled with such hatred…?"

Even Dabi and All For One felt chills at the glare Megatron gave, the former feeling that whatever hatred he felt for Endeavor was nothing compared to Megatron's, while the latter felt that, if there exists a Megatron in his universe, his pride be damned, he WILL assist the heroes to defeat such a being.

Ochako was so terrified of Megatron's hateful glare that of a primal, instinctual need to protect herself, she clung to Izuku Midoriya in a straight-up hug. Surprising the boy immensely as he was barely registering the action. Such an action was done by not just Uraraka, but by Melissa to her father, Ashido to Kirishima, Kyoka to Kaminari, the children to their 'guardians', and even Himiko Toga to Twice.

Rosa commented as she clutched her hand in her husband's, "Jeez, you could just feel the bitterness and hatred behind such a gaze. It sends chills up your spine, right?"

Sean replied as the two glared back at Megatron defiantly, "Yeah, all the more reason to thwart his ambitions…"

Megatron's fury boiled to the surface as he crashed his hand to the side of Spike, and take his fingers back, digging up the pavement as he said while trying to crawl to his target, "You! All of you! I'll kill you all!"

Megatron's face contorted to further show his growing anger as he growled like a monster, Energon leaking from all of his wounds, "The Allspark…IS MINE! YOU WILL NOT DENY ME MY BIRTHRIGHT!"

"F*CK OFF, MEGA-B*T*H, AND DIE!" Bakugo roared back at Megatron's proclamation as the rest of the students joined him at defying Megatron.

"The Allspark is not yours! Not for what you intend to do with it!" Izuku shouted at Megatron, having said that along with Ida, Shiozaki, Jurota, and Monoma in unison.

All Might briefly buffed up to say, joining his students, "As long as I breathe, the Allspark will never be used for evil!"

All For One knew Megatron was as good as dead, but he knew that, in the current situation the only option the heroes have left, is one he wishes to happen as he despises Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime struggled to get up as he said to the boy, "Spike! Put the Allspark to my chest! Now, before it's too late!"

Spike's face was a weird mix of fear and determined defiance as he faced Megatron. Megatron growled as he said, "GIVE ME THE ALLSPARK!"

"What is Spike doing?!" Melissa asked, as most of the audience was worried, especially if he had a different plan in mind than what Optimus had.

"You don't think…?" Sato began to ask as Megatron charged at the Allspark and the one who was holding it in his arms.

"Spike! No Spike!" Optimus called out as Spike avoided a swipe by Megatron and shouted at him, "You want the Allspark? THEN TAKE IT!"

Spike thrust the Allspark into Megatron's chest, and a shockwave of blue burst from the impact, and a column of fire erupted from the Allspark itself and fired upward through Megatron's heart.

"Oh…my…god…" Fuyumi Todoroki uttered as she saw the pure energy of the Allspark tear through Megatron.

Uraraka exclaimed in sheer shock, "Optimus wanted THIS to happen to him?! Why would he want to do this?!"

Izuku thought and came up with an answer, but it was so upsetting for him, that he decided he would dare not say anything about it.

"The power that creates entire worlds full of life…no one could survive against something of that magnitude…" Midnight balked, caught way off guard…

In a shockwave that shattered an entire block's worth of windows, Megatron clutched where his spark was and a horrified look appeared on his face as he saw molten metal erupt from his chest, and splatter onto his open hand. He then started to gasp for air as his body self-destructed from the energy.

"Oh god!" Yaoyarozu gasped out, hands over her open mouth in horror at seeing how Megatron was dying from the very thing he was after.

"That's…what a horrible way to go…" Itsuka commented, as she said that, everyone should've been happy that Megatron's plans were thwarted, but they weren't.

Seeing Megatron gasp for air and bleed out molten metal where his "heart" was, it was unbearable to watch. Seeing a living being dying in such a horrific manner, made everyone feel conflicted feelings over this.

None were more shocked and horrified than All For One, as he remembered the quirk he sought after was made in part by a stockpiling quirk he gifted his little brother. He then began to worry, what if this is what will happen to him if he tries to take One For All…?

"You think death will key-key-key-keep me from my-my-ie-ie-ie ca-ca-conquest?! VENGEANCE WILL…B-B-BE MI-MI-MINE!" Megatron roared as he sputtered and gasped for air, unable to speak any longer in a vain attempt to stay alive, then crashed to the floor on his back and stopped breathing and moving…

Everyone was deathly silent at that proclamation, there were no cheers for the defeat of the film's villain. Just mortified expressions at the manner Megatron was dying once Spike shoved the Allspark into his spark, his very heart.

'The villain was defeated…yet, why do I not feel good about it…?' Izuku thought, giving both a mortified Mei Hatsume and Ochako Uraraka soothing pats on their shoulders to calm them down.

He was unaware that Bakugo thought the same thoughts he did, as he was deathly quiet over Megatron's defeat. He just stared, he didn't laugh or cheer in victory, just staring…

2:11:35-2:13:04

Everyone looked to see everyone gather around Optimus and Megatron's battle arena, the threat Megatron gave with his dying breath still ringing in everyone's ears, Izuku most especially. The music in the scene carried a sense of melancholy, one that Kyoka definitely picked up, but it did carry a very slight undertone that sounded, hopeful to her musically trained ears.

Soon, everyone saw the look of deep sadness in Optimus Prime's eyes as he stood over his brother's corpse, seeing the light, and life in turn, fade from Megatron's eyes.

"I wish it hadn't come to this, brother…" Optimus said as he placed one of Megatron's lifeless hands onto the fallen leader's torso out of respect, lightly patting his rival's hand in slight comfort.

"Even if they were enemies, you could just tell the deep sadness and regret in Optimus' voice…he truly wished Megatron didn't have the fate he had, and despite being a monster, Optimus was still respectful to Megatron to do, well that…" Mandalay commented, feeling depressed just hearing Optimus sound so sad.

"It's what the b*s*a*d deserved! He destroyed their homeworld, he deserved nothing less than a one-way trip to hell!" Bakugo remarked, as he thought it was a fitting end for the Decepticon leader, being killed by the very thing he was after…but he would be lying if he was happy after seeing how Megatron reacted in his death…

"Bakugo! Have you not learned to be respectful of the deceased!" Ida balked and lectured Bakugo for his disrespectful words.

"Oh, Optimus…" Ochako thought aloud sadly, fingertips pressed together, "I can't imagine how it must feel for you right now, seeing someone who you saw as a brother, and watching him die due to his hatred and greed…"

Dabi felt a cold chill run up his spine as he thought grimly, was this the fate that awaited him? Was he to share Megatron's fate, him dead while his brother lived, his revenge unfulfilled…? It made the hidden Todoroki sibling feel ugly emotions in his heart.

"Even though the good guys won…everyone is sad…what did this victory cost them…?" Fuyumi asked sadly, brushing a couple of tears away from her eyes.

Shoto answered his older sister, feeling bitter about the outcome, "It cost them their only hope to breathe life again on Cybertron, three brave soldiers, and Optimus having to watch his brother in all but blood perish before his eyes, before he could convince him to make peace."

Nezu remarked as he lowered his head in respect to Prowl, Jazz, and Longarm, "This is a good example on how, even if there was a side that won the conflict, everyone loses in a war."

"At the very least, humanity was saved from extinction…" All Might added, "But it came at the cost of two good souls on the Autobots' side…and…likely one more to join them as well…"

Everyone remembered Longarm grappled and held Blackout in place as the F-22s fired missiles at the Soccent Base murderer, and his "master" Megatron. He took quite a few explosions to ensure Blackout dies, and is likely succumbing to his wounds if he wasn't dead already.

"Spike, I owe you my life, and the lives of all I have sworn to protect…" Optimus said as he crouched down to look at the boy directly, "We, are in your debt…"

The sadness continued as Ironhide carried the corpse of Jazz in his arms, Ratchet carrying Prowl's charred chest plate, and everyone gathering around Longarm, who had labored breaths as Ratchet rushed to his assistant's side and checked his wounds.

"We already lost Prowl and Jazz. Please don't take away Longarm too, he's young as well, and he needs to live…" Yui pleaded to the movie, but her breath was caught in her throat as Ratchet confirmed that Longarm's wounds were fatal, and he doesn't have very long left.

Ironhide handed over Jazz's dull-colored corpse as the Autobot leader cradled their fallen comrade, saying to Optimus, "Prime…we, couldn't save him. And Prowl was obliterated trying to hold Megatron from getting to Spike…that chestplate was all we could salvage…" Optimus cradled his lieutenant's corpse, with a clear sadness in his face, hanging his head low in respect and sadness as he said, "Aww, Jazz…Prowl…may you find peace in the Allspark."

"Once the spark is extinguished…the Transformer dies…" Mei quoted what Rosa said earlier in such a heartbreaking whimper, especially as everyone gathered around the dying Longarm.

"You've done well soldier, you can rest now…" Present Mic said softly, holding his head down in respect for the Autobot, as he asked his leader…

"Prime…did…did we win? Is…the war…over…?" Longarm asked Optimus in labored breaths.

"No…there has been enough death…he…he can't–…no…" Mei Hatsume whimpered a soft sob, Izuku and Ochako heard and comforted the support course student, all three were shedding tears, hearing the hopeful tone in Longarm's plea.

Even the villains got a little choked up, they shed tears themselves hearing that tone full of hope the fighting was over. All For One cared not, but he kept his tongue to himself lest he earns the wrath of everyone in the room, he lowered his head, willing to give the Autobot a begrudging respect for his bravery in helping to bring down Blackout. But, he would be lying if he thought that the act doesn't make him sick for doing so.

"Yes…you won…" All Might whispered, hoping his words could somehow reach the dying Autobot.

"Yes…we won, Longarm." Optimus said in a gentle tone that comforted his soldier, "The Allspark is destroyed, the war is finally over for the time being…"

Aizawa felt his heart weighed down, he knew what Optimus was doing, and commented, "He's giving Longarm some last words of comfort, to let him know his sacrifice wasn't in vain…"

The insomniac's breath hitched a little as he said, "It's what I would do…Longarm truly went above and beyond the call of duty, like Optimus, for the sake of peace. He has earned my respect…"

Spinner commented while hiding his red, swollen eyes due to shedding tears, "I wholeheartedly agree…"

He soon rose his drink in the air as he was immediately joined by virtually everyone in the theater, then gave a toast, "To Jazz, Prowl, and Longarm…true Autobots, and true heroes…"

"To Jazz, Prowl, and Longarm…" everyone followed up immediately after Spinner, with All Might adding, "May the Allspark welcome them with the rest of the fallen sons and daughters of Cybertron…"

Longarm managed to smile softly as he said, "Then…I can be one with the Allspark with no regrets, become part of the collective…the one…let us hope…that we could find…another way…to breathe life again…to Cybertron…and the fighting…will…end…"

"'Til…All Are…One…"

Like Megatron, the light faded from Longarm's eyes, and his body greyed in color like it was drained from him. Longarm had succumbed to his wounds, and all the young folk cried, and cried hard, even those who insist they are not crying. The scene showed some of the soldiers wearing hats taking them off and placing them over their hearts as they saluted Longarm. Snipe, Tsukauchi, Gentle, and Compress did the same with their hats as many of the adults saluted to the fallen Autobots. Izuku wrote down Longarm's fate in his notebook, knowing that while he kept to himself, Longarm was an Autobot through and through, he heroically sacrificed his own life to bring down Blackout and keep the monstrous Decepticon from attacking Optimus Prime and helping Megatron claim the Allspark.

'Longarm, Autobot Medical Assistant. Fate - Deceased, he held Blackout down long enough for the Air Force to kill the Decepticon, suffering fatal injuries. His last words were "'Til All Are One" to Optimus…b-before succumbing to his wounds…' Izuku thought as he wrote those words down, trying hard not to break like a dam and cry a flood.

"'Til All Are One…" Nezu said to himself, he was sad of course, but he was more so curious about Longarm's dying words, "Miss Izanami, what is that phrase's meaning, I feel it is important…"

Izanami had a neutral face, but heavy brows as she answered the principal, "It is more of a reference to an older piece of Transformers media, but it does have a meaning…Rosa will explain it…"

Rosa wiped a few tears from her eyes as she answered after taking a deep breath, "The phrase has many meanings, but its intention is when all are one in understanding, one in life, and one in death. It's more of a wish that the fighting, the hate, and the pain will be a distant memory, when things like prejudice, a schism in beliefs, or the like no longer exist. It has a rather funny history in a meta sense, but it could be taken as another way of saying that all are created equal, something like Abraham Lincoln said in the Gettysburg Address…"

"It's a motivating wish among the Autobots that they could find peace with not just the Decepticons, but all people in the universe. So it is often used as a battle cry, to motivate and remind them of what they are fighting for…" Sean added, the meaning behind such a simple little phrase carried so much weight that the audience could understand.

"It's such a beautiful wish…" Fuyumi commented while wiping away a couple tears, many of the audience agreeing.

"I agree…I wish the Autobots all the luck I could muster…" Pixie Bob replied, trying to wipe away her tears as so her makeup wasn't completely ruined.

The young teenagers felt as hopeful hearing what was said regarding the phrase (especially those who were picked on by society), so they quietly uttered the phrase to themselves as a promise they should keep as well. A vow to fight for a future where everyone is one in understanding, no more prejudice, no more fighting.

"'Til All Are One…" all the teenagers said at the same time in quiet voices, promising to keep the vow of the Autobots close to their own hearts.

With a heavy, sad sigh, Optimus spoke to all his remaining troops, "We have lost great comrades, great friends today. But, at the same time, we have gained new ones in our human friends, and in our new recruit. I thank you all from the bottom of my spark, you have honored us with your bravery, and how valiantly you fought and bled for your planet's freedom…"

"They most certainly have, they have so much to lose that they cannot afford to be defeated…" Thirteen replied, "This was why soldiers were heroes as well, because many of them fought and bled for their countries, and deserve all the thanks for their efforts, and our sympathies for those who did not come home…"

"Like Captain America…" Spinner added quietly to himself, happy that Lennox could now go home to meet his baby daughter for the first time.

"Permission to speak, sir…" a voice spoke out, and its owner was…

"Bumblebee?! He spoke words, and it wasn't him using the radio!" Mei said, still devastated at the loss of Prowl, Jazz, and Longarm, regained some happiness hearing Bumblebee speak with his own voice once again (even though she never heard what his original voice was before his injury.)

"But, how? I thought…?" Ochako asked, only for Izuku to interrupt/answer for her, "The Allspark. It could be the only reason why. It did shock him as it shrunk down…"

Momo added, "I agree, the energy of the Allspark could be the only reason Bumblebee is able to talk. We saw it completely regenerate Frenzy's body from a head, I think fixing a damaged/missing voice box is well within its capabilities to do…"

Optimus still held onto Jazz's corpse as he said to his old friend, "Permission granted, old friend…"

Hearing Spike ask incredulously that Bumblebee speaks now, made everyone laugh, especially at the face he made at Bumblebee.

"Yeah, likely thanks to the Allspark…" Kyoka replied to Spike's question, really happy for the Autobot scout.

Bumblebee looked to Spike as he said, "I wish to stay with the boy and keep looking after him. Spike and I are close friends after all we've been through…"

Optimus then handed Jazz's corpse back to Ironhide as he replied, "If that is his choice, then I see nothing wrong with your request…"

Spike looked over to Bumblebee and briefly at Mikaela before answering while looking back to Bumblebee, "Yeah. Yeah, I would like that…"

Bumblebee blinked and his eyes softened as he smiled behind his mouth plate, Optimus nodded as he then noticed the assault buggy Transformer, then asked, "Who is this?"

Mina said at the same time as Ironhide in the film, "That's a new recruit to your/our cause…"

Tsuyu smiled as she saw more of Bumblebee's "little brother" vibes and was pleased the Autobots were so welcoming to, she guesses by their standards, a freak of nature. It gave her more reason to like the Autobots than ever before, and she already liked them a lot for as little screen time they got.

Optimus looked at Ironhide, then the rest of his troops to see that they were telling the truth, especially when Chromia added briefly that the new Autobot helped Arcee and the humans out with the Decepticons. He then looked at the mutation, who shrank at his discerning gaze, he then asked, "What is your name, soldier?"

"Oh! We actually don't have a name for this new guy, do we?" Momo Yaoyarozu asked, with Nigereki Shoda nervously replying, "Well, he was just born today, so I don't think he has one yet…"

"Ooh-ooh-ooh! Can we name him, please!" Mina excitedly begged, only for Izanami to chuckle as she said, "Sorry, this guy does have a name already…"

Everyone laughed as Mina whined a "boo" at not getting to name the new Transformer.

"Well, I saw the damage he did, and let me tell you, the new guy scattered the body parts of all those mutations with those shots he made…" Chromia remarked, but her sentence made the new Autobot think really deeply, something about it triggered a sense of familiarity within.

The new Autobot tried to articulate the word or words he was trying to say, and then finally spoke out, "Ssss…Scatter…shot…"

"I knew it…" Rosa remarked with a satisfied smile, which got everyone's attention.

"Wait! Knew what?" Kaminari asked, which Nezu soon pieced together, "Oh, I see. So that is this new recruit's name…"

"Huh?!" was what most of everyone thought as their collective attention turned back to the mouse-bear-thing of a principal, confused until the heard Sideswipe ask…

"Scatter…shot…? Scattershot? That's your name, newbie?" Sideswipe asked, as he pointed to the new guy, who then said, "Ye-yeah…that is…what came to me…"

Optimus nodded and extended a hand to the newly named Scattershot, "Then, I officially welcome you to the Autobots, Scattershot. I look forward to showing you what it means to be an Autobot…"

"Scattershot?" Midnight thought as she heard the new Autobot's name, then said, "I like it, it's very fitting for him, especially after his role in defeating Brawl."

Izuku started a new page for Scattershot, eager to see more of him in the future. Especially as Scattershot shook Optimus' hand and thanked the commander for having him.

"Aww…he's so cute! Scattershot reminds me of Midoriya with how shy, yet eager he is." Toru Hagakure commented, which after several people agreed with the invisible girl, left Midoriya himself a little embarrassed…

2:13:05-2:13:18

Everyone in the audience gave their congratulations to Scattershot as he was surrounded by the other Autobots and their human friends. After the other Autobots surround Scattershot and welcomed him, Optimus noticed a spark of electricity coming from Megatron's smoldering corpse.

This caught everyone's attention, as Mei asked, "What was that?"

Optimus crouched down to his fallen brother, and noticed something odd sticking out from Megatron's smoldering, molten chest where his spark used to be. With three fingers, Optimus Prime grabbed the pointed piece that grabbed his attention, and with a small eruption of fire, he pulled out a broken shard of the Allspark.

Everyone let out sad gasps as Makoto remarked sadly, "Oh, that must be all that is left of the Allspark…"

The students felt very upset over seeing such a wondrous, almost mystical treasure, reduced to a shard the size of a small urn. None felt more heartbroken over this than Ibara Shiozaki, who knew that this was the object that gave Optimus, Megatron, and all Transformers life, so she understood that to Optimus, seeing this must be very painful for him. So she sent prayers of sympathy and healing to the commander, while also thanking the Allspark for bringing to life a new Autobot in the form of Scattershot.

"I cannot even begin to imagine how he must be feeling right now, holding onto the only scrap remaining of the very thing that created his world…" Mina said in such a heartbroken tone, that it prompted Kirishima to reassuringly place a hand on her shoulder.

Aizawa felt his eyes begin to water, from both his dry eye, and sympathizing a little on what Optimus was feeling, but responded resolutely, "I know it is hard, but Optimus did what he had to, for the sake of not just the Earth, but the countless other worlds he promised to protect. Things didn't go the way he wanted, but it should motivate you to keep fighting the good and honest fight. To never compromise in the face of injustice…"

Everyone wordlessly nodded in affirmation, resolving to follow Optimus' example.

He brought the piece closer to his face and inspected it as the ember glows turned blue when the shard was whole, then faded quietly. Optimus knew something, but didn't say anything, as he let the shard fall into his metal palm, and closed his fingers around it, a look of sadness plastered on his face, like he lost something that meant so much to him.

Everyone felt their hearts break over seeing Optimus lament over what was lost in the battle, but felt a little better once his sad expression morphed to one of determination as if to say "Even after what was lost, we will make sure that it was not in vain…" without saying a single word.

The students and children understood a little and vowed to not let such thoughts keep them from pushing forward, to not let any sacrifices they made be in vain.

"No matter the cost…" Izuku, Mirio, Toshinori, and Aizawa uttered quietly to themselves, reminded on what Prowl and Longarm said earlier regarding stopping Megatron.

2:13:18-2:13:47

"Washington D.C.?" Toru asked puzzled, with Vlad King remarking, "It must be about the collateral damage done to Las Vegas and Hoover Dam…"

Cutting to inside the Pentagon, communications likely restored, with Secretary John Keller speaking to several generals, "Gentlemen, the President has ordered Sector Seven be terminated following the fallout of Las Vegas, and the remains of the dead aliens, disposed of…"

"What of the aliens that survived?" one general asked, to which Keller immediately responded, "We are to offer sanctuary in payment for the service of those that fought for us, while those who ran away or disappeared from the battle, be hunted down and tried for their crimes against America and her interests…"

"So, the Autobots were granted sanctuary on Earth for what they had done for humanity?" Shiozaki wondered, finding the gesture touching.

Hawks replied with skepticism, "I doubt that, if I'm honest. Maybe they were granted sanctuary, but that probably wasn't the only reason. Given all the stories we've seen so far, I've learned to not be completely trustful of the government when an opportunity to get advanced weapons under their fold. And Vlad King, you cannot say the contrary after what we have all seen too, especially since even if the Transformers are living beings, they technically count as advanced technology…"

Vlad did shut up as he learned that trying to support the government in these films was rendered mute, especially when said governments have proven him quite wrong.

"Where will we dispose of the dead aliens then?" one marshal asked, which Keller continued his explanation, "We will dispose of them here…"

He pointed at the table, but it wasn't shown what he pointed to as the scene cut to the ocean with several ships floating on it. The Secretary of Defense continued, "The Mariana Trench is seven miles below sea level, deepest place on our planet. The crushing depths and sub-zero temperatures will hopefully crush and entomb them…leaving no evidence…"

Everyone saw as Keller explained the cleanup, helicopters and workers gathering, dismantling, and loading the corpses of the Decepticons, with a few Autobots, primarily Ratchet, Arcee, and the newly recruited Scattershot helping them.

"Optimus is there too…?" Katsuma remarked seeing the Autobot commander seeing the dead body of Megatron lifted by helicopter.

They soon realized what he was there for, and it kinda made them upset at Keller's words when three storage containers had the Autobot insignia painted on the doors, with names spray painted beneath the symbols denoting who was inside.

"So when Keller said all the dead Transformers would be disposed of, he even meant the Autobots?" Melissa gasped lightly, a little hurt at that.

"At least they had, coffins (?), to be laid to rest in, I guess…" Awase shrugged, but Itsuka turned to their hosts and asked, "What exactly do most Transformers do with their dead?"

Rosa answered, "It largely depends on who you ask, and which story you look at. But common funerary practices followed by the Autobots at least, lay their dead to rest in two ways. The first is launching a coffin into space, usually into the planet's sun on whatever planet they are on, symbolically a means for their matter to be recycled within the star or of the like."

Everyone felt a little touched hearing that, but not more so than the second reason Rosa soon explained, "The second funerary practice is for the body of a deceased Transformer to be lowered into the hole they were born in, called the Well of All Sparks, to be reabsorbed into the planet, recycling their matter for the planet, in time, birth a new Cybertronian lifeform, from the well itself, or to continue to support life on the planet itself to continue the cycle. It is a slightly religious practice among Transformers, as both practices are tied with their God of Life and Creation…"

"Oh, how sweet…" Toru thought aloud, with Setsuna to guess, "So, it's like how we humans bury our dead, a spiritual way of returning them to the planet?"

"Yeah…" Izanami simply replied and did not bother to elaborate as everyone soon turned to the screen as Megatron was released from the cables holding him, and he sunk to the bottom of the Pacific.

"Despite that, we will ensure that they stay there, if our new allies' intelligence on their anatomy is accurate. So, the trench will be guarded 24/7, and no one will retrieve them…" Keller finished, as the Autobots sent the caskets to the trench, and Optimus' lips moved as if he was saying something.

"Huh? What was it that Optimus said once…his fallen soldiers…were sent to the bottom of the sea?" Yui Kodai asked.

"Something humans wouldn't be able to comprehend or understand in his native language…" Izanami answered, "But, if you must know, it is funerary rights often said at funerals themselves, usually by a priest. As Optimus Prime, his rank, he's not just the military leader of Cybertron, he is also its spiritual leader. What he is, is sort of the same thing as being the President of the United States, and the Pope at the same time on Earth…"

"So he's the religious leader of Cybertron as well as being its military leader?" Shiozaki asked, quite surprised to hear that.

"Yeah, he was doing so in the same way a priest in the ancient past would pray to the souls of the dead to find peace…despite the US military, and even his own troops think Megatron doesn't deserve such a thing…" the pink-haired deity added, somewhat surprising some in regard to Megatron's funerary rights.

"Oh, that seems…I dunno…disrespectful…? Or something?" Kaminari commented after seeing juxtaposed to Keller explaining, the military disposing of the dead Decepticons by dumping their remains in the Mariana Trench.

"It would not surprise me, because Megatron was technically a terrorist, he would be given a similar treatment to the one responsible for the 9/11 attacks of 2001. His corpse being sent to the bottom of the sea, where no one could retrieve it…" Makoto remarked, unknowingly replying to Kaminari's comment.

'If she is going to cover the sequel, I wouldn't be dismissive about that just yet…' Rosa thought, dreading that train wreck of a film and hoping that Izanami at least would pick a similarly alternate version that was more tolerable compared to the one she (and you readers) remember if the overall story remains unchanged.

Izuku realized he forgot to write down Megatron's fate, and soon got to work, thinking about the villain. While he was a villain, Megatron carried a certain charisma that made him just a little admirable to Izuku. While misguided, Megatron was uncompromising in his resolve and felt sad that he didn't direct it to anything other than conquest and war. He was also incredibly resilient and tough, as it took the very thing he was after to kill him.

'Megatron - status: deceased. Killed by the Allspark he was after at the hands of Spike Witwicky, despite Optimus' protests to do it to him. His last words before dying were "…vengeance will be mine…" before his spark was extinguished…' he wrote, as he soon started to feel a little of what Optimus felt, like it was needless bloodshed, even to someone like Megatron, he didn't deserve to die like he did.

His depressed thoughts were soon lifted when Ochako Uraraka rubbed his arm tenderly and to comfort him. He was receptive to the attempt and silently thanked his friend, and she nodded as if to say, "anytime" without uttering a syllable.

2:13:47-2:14:54

The scene changed as it showed Ironhide driving Lennox to his home, to his family as he finally held his daughter for the first time. The girls all cooed and squealed at the touching reunion Lennox finally won for himself, all the while Optimus spoke in a closing narration, similar to the beginning of the film…

But, Kaminari heard the song and said, "Wait a minute! Is that Linkin Park?!"

"No way! That's What I've Done! That is one of my favorite Linkin Park songs!" Kyoka excitedly cheered, with the names of the song and the band performing it ringing bells of familiarity as most of the students and a few of the adults shared their memories of this pre-quirk era song.

"With the Allspark gone, we cannot hope to breathe life again on Cybertron. We may have triumphed, but it came at a great cost, we suffered greatly and lost brothers-in-arms, but hope remains that we can rebuild. The Decepticons are far from finished, even after the passing of their leader. Despite that, fate has yielded its most unexpected reward…"

"A new world to call, home…"

The girls squealed loudly at seeing Spike and Mikaela holding hands as they looked at the sunset while sitting on Bumblebee's hood, the men and those with sensitive hearing cringed.

Mikaela soon rested her head on Spike's shoulder as the camera showed the surviving Autobots in vehicle mode around a tree with lights strewn about it on a lonely, grassy hill overlooking a city in the distance.

"Huh, this seems…safe…compared to the version I remember…" Rosa commented, which prompted Kyoka to ask, "Safe…how…?"

Sean answered bluntly, "Those two were having a make-out session with Mikaela laying on top of Spike, cuddling while the two rested on Bumblebee's hood like he was just a car…"

Mina, Toru, Pony, Setsuna, Kaminari, Mineta, Kosei, Pixie Bob, and Midnight loudly and verbally whined in disappointment over them hearing that alternate version, wishing they got to see the two kiss like that.

Momo sighed as she said, "I don't get why some wanted to see something like that over this…"

But everyone's attention was back to the screen, as Optimus continued his speech like a narrator, as the big bot himself showed up and looked up to the dusk sky.

"We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight. Waiting. Protecting them. We still stand by our vow, that all the free worlds will maintain the dream when all are one, and protect them all from the clutches of tyranny. As for the humans in this world, I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and the will to change for the better. For like all of us, despite our differences, our cultures, our forms…Like us, there is more to them than meets the eye…"

All the mutants and those who faced discrimination felt especially touched at Optimus' words, feeling particularly inspired by his beliefs. As he had more or less said that despite being or looking different, or a combination of both, even then, there's a lot more to them than what can be seen on a surface level. To strive to be a positive example for others to follow.

"Truly, an inspiration to follow…" All Might said, with Aizawa saying, "I will have to agree with you there, All Might. And I want you kids to heed Optimus Prime's words…"

"Don't worry, Aizawa-sensei. We will…" Mina said with all the kids and children agreeing, as Optimus closed out the main story of the film.

"I am Optimus Prime. And I send this message out to the universe to any surviving Autobots, taking refuge among the stars…to come to Earth to help in our efforts to guard this little world, and nurture the capacity of change it harbors…"

"Wait! There are MORE Transformers to be seen?! It can't be over now!" Mei Hatsume whined, horribly disappointed that the film was practically over, and she won't get to see more Transformers.

But, Izanami assured her, "Don't worry Hatsume, you will get to see LOTS more Transformers with what I have in store…more than you could fill a notebook with…"

Kyoka flinched in pain over hearing Hatsume, joined by Melissa Shield, squeal with sheer excitement over the promise given to the support-course student.

"Oh god! Why…" Kyoka whined, rubbing her ears to soothe the pain, and was thankful for the dunce that was Kaminari helping her.

"Our path to peace starts here, upon this tiny little world. The fight for peace is a long and arduous one. The humans will be our proof that we could achieve the peace all sought and fought for. Through them, a great transformation shall come for the better of all peoples…for freedom is the right of all sentient beings…simply put…"

"…We are here. We, are waiting…"

Optimus soon began to walk away, the credit "Directed by Michael Bay" appeared, which signaled the beginning of the end credits and everyone clapped as the credits started rolling.

2:14:54-2:16:40

Sure enough, they saw that in the credits, Steven Spielberg was an Executive Producer of this film along with someone named Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, and three others named Tom Desanto, Don Murphy, and Ian Bryce. That Bonaventura man's name for whatever reason they didn't understand, made Rosa groan in annoyance loudly. And when asked, she said it was too long of a story to bother them about right now, so they dropped it.

Soon, a quick mid-credits scene appeared with Spike's parents being interviewed on television as the reporter asked if the two could shed light on recent alien activity.

"Oh, this must be a little time, maybe a few weeks at minimum, after the battle at Las Vegas…" Izuku commented, with Bakugo shouting, "Well duh! Of course, it has, sh*tty Deku!"

And the two, quite hilariously, deflected the question by remarking on how what America stands for that the government would be transparent about an alien invasion, with Judy finishing by saying that they would say "Hey! Duck and cover!"

"They are embarrassing and they get annoying, but good grief is Spike's parents hilarious!" Mina wiped her tears of laughter away.

Natsuo Todoroki added regarding the Witwickies' statements, "Well, they are not as transparent as you say they are, considering that until that Blackout bastard attacked that air base, you kept a frozen alien warlord under the freaking Hoover Dam…"

Melissa added to that, "Yeah, and I don't think our US government back home is as equally transparent as Judy Witwicky said they are…considering that aliens actually exist in our universe and they have been around for, what, tens of thousands of years?"

"Your world governments are fully aware of the existence of aliens, have been long before the concept of a modern superhero existed. But this is information restricted to only the highest of higher-ups, to where I will be transparent with you guys to keep this a secret, or you will 'mysteriously disappear' if you blab about this to anyone…"

Everyone paled at hearing that, it didn't take much imagination to know what that meant.

Soon enough after another string of credits, there was a quick snippet where Judy commented how much bigger the interviewer's head was compared to television which made everyone hero and villain, burst in uncontrollable laughter.

Makoto commented between giggles, "Judy's not wrong. The camera does seem to add ten extra pounds to people on television…"

Then, after the title drop, they were treated to one more mid-credits scene, with Starscream flying off into space, likely to plot something. They knew it was Starscream because Izanami told them that the jet was the treacherous second-in-command.

2:16:40-2:23:18

The credits scroll allowed everyone to chat about the adventure they just witnessed as another rock song played, and Kyoka quietly sang along as she recognized it.

As the credits continued to roll, Izanami highlighted by pointing to the screen and literally highlighting two names among all the names, "You see these two names I highlighted? Those are who you have to thank for all the additional characters in this film compared to the version of this very film Sean and Rosa grew up with. They opened the possibility for five Autobots and seven Decepticons, to be bumped up to eleven Autobots at the end of this film, and fourteen named Decepticons with fifteen additional nameless foot soldiers distracting Sideswipe and Chromia. And, all those additional Allspark Mutations at the climax…"

"Oh, I saw those names before, but I can't remember why…" Rosa commented as Izuku joined, "Y-yeah, I've seen those names before in a few pre-quirk era films, but I can't remember where I had seen them."

(what those names are is a mystery to me, so I couldn't tell you who is worthy of the credit for the addition of all those extra Autobots and Decepticons…*shrugs shoulders in confusion*)

The credits continued to roll as the guests chatted with each other, right to the end where they awaited for a post-credits scene…

Movie End…

Everyone clapped as the last second of the footage ended, even the villains were satisfied with the film, even though the film's villains lost. They still sat in their seats, expecting a post-credits scene, but hearing the door to the lobby click, they soon heard Izanami say to them…

"What are you guys doing? There's no post-credits scene this time. I get a lot of your previous hosts showed you films that have post-credit scenes, but I spared you a version that did have one, and it was a bad one that never went anywhere despite seemingly setting up a sequel. You can leave, I will tell you ahead of time if there was something worth seeing the very end of…"

"That's a refreshing change of pace…" Shigaraki said, he was pleasantly relieved there wasn't a post-credits scene this time, but still grumbled that he sat there expecting one. He really wished that he could kill Kiddo for giving him that idea, but knew he didn't want to incur his wrath for his desire (not like he could anyways.)

Everyone started to get up and walk to the door after stretching, when Izanami say to them, "Alright, I have a few things to say and show you in the lobby, so reconvene there after you take out your trash and go to the bathroom. Any of you who don't need to do either, head over there immediately…"

To Be Continued…

Author's Notes:

Well, after, what three, four months? We have finally reached the End of Transformers (2007), and I am not gonna lie, this last hurdle was massive for me to overcome. I'd say that I got, perhaps 20-to-30% of this chapter done by the time Tears of the Kingdom came out, maybe a little less. But, don't worry the next chapter (the interlude) won't have as big a gap as this chapter had from the prior. I technically finished this chapter yesterday (or 7/7/23 if you're wondering), but it only came out now due to me fixing the transition between the app I actually wrote this on, and transferring it to this site, both on my mobile device, and with the doc manager being a pain on the phone, fixing the transition on a regular PC. Yeah, I need help with figuring out how to better transition things.

Moving on, I took a look at your suggestions regarding who should I include for the Decepticons in this version of the 2007 film from an alternate reality, gave you three slots to put any additional Decepticons. BUT, like my poll it seems, none of you paid attention to what I was looking for, because I got numerous requests to include Thundercracker and Skywarp when I explicitly asked to give me suggestions {to make suggestions under the PRETENSE that I was not going to include any of the Seekers}...unlike the poll, I will let you know how I felt about this, and it can be described in a single word: "disappointed".

I was hoping a lot of you were sharp-eyed enough to get the meaning behind my suggestion, because of course I was going to include the other two members of the original Seeker trio, I just wanted other options than just the jet-robo Blue and jet-robo Purple. I was so disappointed that I decided to ignore any other suggestions and go baseline and go with my default choices, I was disappointed enough to just decide, "no, I won't let anyone have that opportunity again for the sequels, not if it was more of the same..."

So, I am truly sorry to say that: you readers had lost your opportunity to add other additional Transformers characters in Revenge of the Fallen & Dark of the Moon because of you not paying attention to what I'm saying (it stings for me to make this decision even more because I was really looking forward to your suggestions for those two on who to add to the already present cast of Autobots and Decepticons...)

Moving on (the sequel,) yeah, I apologize again if any of you were hoping no Autobots will die in this version. I toyed with the idea myself, but I couldn't find another way to tell it, it wouldn't make the story impactful without a good guy falling in battle, and I went with three instead of one in the original version. Jazz still dies, but Prowl and Longarm join him in the Allspark. I think you kinda noticed each of them had a thematic death to each of them; Jazz dies unceremoniously, Prowl dies vainly putting up a good fight against a vastly stronger foe, and Longarm dies after receiving grievous wounds stopping an enemy and taking him down. So by the end of this movie (or this alternate version) three Autobots died, leaving seven alive from the initial ten with a new recruit in Scattershot bumping that number to eight, while the Decepticons had 14 named individuals with an additional 15 faceless grunts having a brief scene, and are left with seven survivors (the Seeker Trio, Onslaught, Barricade, Swindle, and Zarak). Oh, and according to Izanami, this version's total number of Allspark mutations (if you technically include Scattershot) total around 60-to-80. That's a lot of robots, guess we have to tip our hats to those two computer engineers (who I don't have a clue who they were) who allowed 12 Transformers in our version of the film, bump that number up to 39 Transformers total...

Well, the interlude chapter is nearly done, to where at the absolute latest (if I really sleep on the job and procrastinate), it will come out before the month is up...

I'll see you then...
