Transformers Prime: A New Adventure.
Chapter 20: Losing Part of Your Soul.
On the outskirts of Nevada, Fortressimus Prime is on patrol when he discovers a Cybertronian signal beacon.
Fortressimus then says into his comm., "Fortressimus to base. I've detected a Cybertronian signal beacon. I require reinforcements in case this is a trap set up by advanced human terrorists looking to capture any Cybertronian for experimentation."
Blow Saber replies, "Understood, commander. I'll radio all available Autobots and Agent Fowler for assistance."
Fortressimus hangs up and he transforms to robot mode while making sure that there are no humans around.
Fortressimus states to his clones as he multiplies himself, "Investigate the beacon, but take all precautions; it could be a trap."
His clones reply in unison, "Yes sir!"
Thirty of his clones move forward while another sixty form an omnidirectional guard and while another one hundred and forty advanced with Fortressimus bringing up the front as another three hundred and ninety concealed him and used their force fields to repel any Cybertronian or Earthly ammunition of metal, electricity, or Energon.
Just then, multiple stun rifles cock themselves and they open fire on Fortressimus and his clones.
But the stun projectiles bounce off of their armors.
Upon looking down, Fortressimus and his clones growl in unison at the MECH agents before transforming to their dragon modes and killing the MECH agents while disabling their equipment, including communications.
More MECH agents turned up to resuscitate their comrades, but then, just after their comrades were revived, the Autobots and the authorities – government and police – arrived and aimed their blasters and guns at the MECH agents.
Silverimus Prime snarls, "Surrender immediately or we will kill you all and notify your families about your crimes!"
The MECH agents threw down their weapons and they raised their hands before getting handcuffed.
Silverimus approaches Fortressimus and says in Ancient Cybertronian, "Fortressimus, I was not aware we were going to encounter MECH agents this early."
Fortressimus replies in Ancient Cybertronian, "Nor was I. It's amazing and problematic at the same time how changes to the time stream can cause heroes like us to meet our future enemies sooner."
Just then, an armada of MECH agents arrived in lots of helicopters, armed cars, tanks, armored trucks, armored personnel carriers, and other kinds of military vehicles.
Fortressimus roars as he transforms to his dragon mode, his form ablaze in pure blue and red flames as he activates his God Mode, unleashing a humongous fire tornado that kills all of the MECH agents without completely burning them.
Everyone looks horrified at what they just saw, even as Fortressimus' Burning Justice aura dissipates and he transforms to his robot mode.
Optimus states to break the silence, "Let us get going; the police and the United States military will take over from here."
The U.S. General that Blow Saber contacted states, "All right, men and women, let's get to work!"
In the Autobot base, Optimus states, "What you did was much too extreme, Fortressimus."
Fortressimus replies, "If I'm being honest, Optimus, I'd wanted to fight MECH agents, but never like this. It was way too early for Autobots to come into contact with MECH. But on the bright side for me, some members are dead while others are currently being thrown in prison to await military trial."
Optimus didn't know it, but Fortressimus was losing 1 small fraction of his spark and human soul to his beast instincts whenever encountering an army of enemies in big numbers or whenever something happens that he doesn't like and he's too late to stop it.
Fortressimus also didn't know it, but it's only a matter of time before he does find out.
And when he finds out, things are going to get ugly.
But in the meantime, Fortressimus was working on the Generation 1 Outback's Decepticon Detector to detect any Decepticons in stasis on Earth, for easier convenience.
Fortressimus chortles, "Heh heh heh heh. Let's see you try to hide from us now, Decepticons."
The End.
