Transformers Prime: A New Adventure.

Chapter 109: Skinned But Divinely Healed.

(Carver Wexler's POV...)

Ever since the incident where Doublecone and his teams arrived and added themselves to Megatron's ranks and numbers, things have been a little too quiet so far.

As even I have been taught, always be mindful of peaceful times, for they are the calms between storms.

The Autobot army has been scavenging all over the world for Energon and for potential Decepticons to reprogram with the Weaponizer Mini-Con harpoon cannons and upgraded V32 Cyber Corrupters to add to our numbers, specifically in terms of Vehicon Troopers of different vehicle types and different military ranks, Decepticon Miners, and even certain Decepticons who look like certain Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals, and Predacons if they transformed into opposite vehicles and opposite animals, i.e., a version of Motormaster who transforms into a modern heavy bomber plane.

Unfortunately for us, because of the fact that there's a vast amount of more Autobots than originally, especially with potentially big numbers of new recruits coming to Earth in the Loose Cannons, New Recruit, and Scattered episodes of this iteration of Transformers Prime, well, let's just say that the Autobots are gonna need vast amounts of nigh unlimited Energon.

And thanks to Fortressimus' inputs, we now have Cybertronian Philosopher Stones that can turn all sorts of organic and inorganic materials of any size or kind into Energon cubes, but with security implications to make sure that no Decepticons would ever find them or attempt to use them, especially if we start running low on Energon for any reason. And also because of Fortressimus' input, we also have Material Maker machines that can provide any Cybertronian and Earthly materials we need, especially including the likelihood of Ratchet wanting to use anything that the machines make in order to repair his tools or to invent new ones.

And not just that, but also, me and the other techno-organics need Energon in order to keep ourselves functioning and to power up our weapons.

But we're getting on just as well by using our Energon Converters carried over from Transformers Beast Wars and the Transformers Dark of the Moon movie fanfictions that allow us to consume complicated plant and animal matter – in other words, fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy products, wheat products, and junk food as a last resort – while simultaneously converting those organic particles into flowing Energon.

But what Fortressimus warned me about was that MECH was going to make yet another comeback to kidnap me so that they can experiment on me and use my organic DNA and my synthetic DNA to create MECH's own techno-organic, thereby making a turning point in Fortressimus' team mission to kill all members of MECH, V.E.N.O.M., Cemetery Wind, the Transformers Reaction Force, and so forth on all Transformer-phobic anti-government terrorist groups or black ops military forces forged either by Cemetery Wind or from the ashes of Cemetery Wind regardless of whether or not Harold Attinger and James Savoy are imprisoned or murdered or if they committed suicide to ensure that they wouldn't stand trial and get sentenced to life in federal prison.

To say the least, ever since I was taken in by Fortressimus and Downshell just because my human family doesn't exist in this universe or in any Transformers fanfiction universes at all, well, let's just say that my new father's Berserker Rage Mode was like a combination of Symbiote Spider-Man from the PS3/Xbox 360 versions of the Spider-Man 3 video game, Venom from the same aforementioned video game, Symbiote Spider-Man in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Symbiote Spider-Man in Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions, and Megatron's rage-induced Dark Energon Overdrive Mode from the Transformers Prime video game's twelfth level.

Yeah, plenty of things can get under Fortressimus Prime's armor like Megatron and unlike Optimus Prime, but when Fortressimus does enter his Rage Mode, especially regardless of whether or not he removes his helmet while enraged or he transforms into his dragon mode, you'd better hope and pray to whatever god you believe in that you're not the target of Fortressimus' rage, because if you are, Fortressimus won't hesitate to kill you. He's just as hot-tempered and murderous as many horror movie villains and comic book villains similar to and different than certain versions of Edward Brock, Jr. and Harry Osborn as Venom.

Anyway, right now, I was waiting for Jack to exit the school now that he has taken to using his duplication abilities and his memory transferal ability and his omni-location ability to ensure that he doesn't screw up his grades while helping us Autobots with saving the Omniverse from this version of Megatron, same with the other kids in our ranks. Hhhaaa. Including Miko.

Sadly, only Fortressimus was among the few to be available as the other Autobots were busy with patrol, training, and so forth, but it's all good, because Dad and I have a plan to catch Silas with his pants down. But it requires stealth, secrecy, playing on certain flaws of the enemy leader's intellect, and all kinds of other things to exploit when playing dirty tactics and guerilla warfare on enemies like Silas or Megatron.

I then saw Jack walking out of the school doors.

I asked, "Let me guess; you had to double-check your homework?"

Jack nods.

I then gave Dad the signal, and he was incognito in his stealth camo in human form, waiting for the second signal.

As I walked with Jack, I noticed a black van that stuck out like a sore thumb, and Dad signaled me in Morse code that it was a MECH van.

I whispered to Jack loud enough for only him to hear, "(Softly) Jack, we're being followed by MECH. Whatever you do, don't look back. Act casual."

Jack asks me in a whisper, "(Softly) You and Fortressimus have a plan?"

I nodded before I said in a whisper, "(Softly) But first, when I give the signal, run as fast as you can without hurting yourself, and don't activate your armor; it'll only make MECH want to capture you too."

Jack nods, understanding what I had to say without going into too much details in the open.

I looked over my right shoulder and saw the van once more. Then, a long line of semi trailer trucks and oil tanker trucks came in front of us to block the van, and I gave the signal, and we both ran for our lives into an alley.

When we entered the alleyway, we activated our stealth camos and Iron Man suits before silently taking flight, leaving behind a solid clone of my techno-organic human self for MECH to take, and they won't suspect a thing.

As we saw from the air, my clone fought the MECH agents before being electrocuted into unconsciousness.

Then they left with their "prisoner."

We signaled Dad, and he pulled up to the curb.

We decloaked, turned off our armors, and climbed inside.

(Third person POV...)

Everyone in the base turned to the entrance as soon as they heard Fortressimus coming in fast.

Carver and Jack got out of Fortressimus and as the Autobot knight switched to robot mode, Jack said, "Guys, we have a problem! MECH tried to abduct Carver, but they got one of his clones instead!"

Everyone looked shocked and slightly relieved that the real Carver wasn't kidnapped in place of his clone.

Downshell demands, "What happened?! Tell me!"

Carver explained everything and in an instant, the Autobots got to work on locating MECH"s base for any signs of the Carver clone.

After about a day of searching, Red Alert found the MECH base and notified every Autobot that MECH was planning to set up a trap for a sizable amount of their troops.

Optimus says, "Autobots, never before have I had to say this in the years since we arrived on Earth and in the long while since we rescued Breakdown from Cemetery Wind. I have sworn to never harm or kill humans before I vowed to kill Harold Attinger myself. But when and if we do manage to find Silas... I will kill him myself too."

After five minutes of planning, Fortressimus says, "Okay, everyone. Team 1 will be comprised of Ironhide, Heavyhide, Chromia, Silvermila, Hound, Bullroad, Bulkhead, Breastwale, Ragestar, and Burstlift. Your job is to set off the trap MECH has in store and divert part of their attention to that sector. Team 2 consisting of myself, Downshell, Optimus, Elita One, Trailbreaker, Slipstream, Trainbreaker, Red Alert, Sandy Alert, Bumblebee, Brown Mark, Jazz, and Bluebop will be driving out MECH's forces to their position near the entrance. Team 3 will consist of Air Tube, Acid Speeder, Aurora Blue, Deep Dancer, Cyber End, Black-Bull, Crystalblades, Crush Phantom, Axeaway, Alphawheel, Astrocus, Wildtrain, Tekstrike, Battleblaster, Black-Byte, Coolcruncher, and Skulllus. Your job is to scout the MECH base for any potential escape routes and kill any and all fleeing MECH agents while retrieving anything they're trying to take with them, including all sorts of DNA samples and any files that they might try to use to create their own techno-organics. And Stealth Team consisting of Arcee, Arcanum, Cliffjumper, Highdive, Cliffleaper, Tailgate, Dogspinner, Moonracer, Greenlight, Lancer, Glyph, Vibes, Omega Danger, and Nightreaper will be infiltrating the base to get Carver's clone out of there and return to base via the Space Bridge. But while we're diverting MECH's attention from all sides, Stealth Team will have a limited time frame to get in and get Carver out of there, so make it count. June, Ratchet, Cogwheel, and the other medics will be standing by and will prepare the medical bay if needed."

Ratchet activates the Space Bridge, and Optimus and Fortressimus say in unison without stopping, "Autobots! Transform and roll out!" "Autobots! Transform and roll out!"

The Autobot teams transformed to their vehicle modes, and they drove or flew in Slipstream's case, to bring Carver's clone home and to ensure that MECH is taken out for good.

After the Autobots managed to complete their missions at 500%, Carver's clone was divinely healed thanks to the power of the Emberstone and the power of the Allspark restoring his organic body and keeping him a techno-organic with a Cybertronian robot, truck, jet, and lion form.

Fortressimus then goes to his quarters and he says, "I know for a fact that if this were a fanfiction, MECH, V.E.N.O.M., Cemetery Wind, and so forth won't stay imprisoned, dead, or disbanded for longer than necessary. We must be thoroughly prepared for the Operation Bumblebee, Nemesis Prime, The Human Factor, and Thirst episodes as best as we can, and we must be prepared to deal with any splinter groups who manage to regroup and improve themselves vastly over the next three years while our team apprehends and destroys the Decepticon prisoners aboard the Alchemor."

And so, Fortressimus spent the whole night in frozen time making such preparations for the future before going to recharge.

However, in an undisclosed location, the viewer's camera is pulled into a factory that shows the real Silas looking over his cloning operation for not only himself, but also for many of his agents and equipment.

Silas chuckles as he remarks, "The Autobots think that they've defeated us again? Well, they're in for a surprise. Because MECH is nothing short of resilient. And if Optimus Prime wants to kill me so badly, then so be it, because at the end of this new war, the victor, one way or another, will be MECH."

The End.
