Tekkaman Prime
ESKK: Well here we go a new chapter. Sorry for taking so long with it but I hope you all enjoy it. Now let's begin.
(Start the Nemesis Medical Lab)
The first thing Arachnid felt as she began to come to was pain through her whole body. As she was coming to she tried her hardest to remember how she got here. Quick recap she was brought to the Nemesis by Breakdown so they can get the magnetism undone, met with Megatron and Nightbird where she rejoined the cons so far so good, then Nightbird ordered a... oh. Now she remembered Nightbird used a Cortical Psychic Patch to dig around her mind and thus found the information of her involvement in the attempt on her spark. Needless to say she was far from pleased and since she already got to Starscream... that left only the other half of that particular enterprise. It was then Arachnid opened her eyes and hissed in pain when she tried to move.
Then to her horror Nightbird approached no doubt the one responsible for her current predicament. "Comfortable Arachnid?" Nightbird asked as she glared at Arachnid. "Just like old times, you there and myself here right after an attempt at my spark." Nightbird taunted as she smirked down upon Arachnid. "Worry not despite the extent of your injuries Lord Megatron's medical staff have all but assured me you will make a rapid recovery." Nightbird said as she felt good about finally unleashing revenge upon Arachnid.
With a few coughs Arachnid sat up a bit. "Hopefully every bit as rapid as your wrath was swift Commander Nightbird." Arachnid tried to suck up as she hated having to do that around Nightbird.
"Well, be happy to know you'll be serving under my unit again so once you're fit for duty be sure to walk like you're in a nest of sleeping Scraplets." Nightbird said and thus began to take her leave. Once she was gone Arachnid tried to get up she saw that she was restrained to the berth. No doubt Nightbirds doing to keep her from trying something foolish.
"Scrap." Arachnid cursed as she realized she was on bed rest until she recovered.
(Back at the Autobot base)
Nick was pasting back and forth as Fowler had contacted doctors to help. June thankfully managed to stabilize her but even then she was not out of the woodworks yet. Thankfully from the sound of things Shara will pull through yet Nick could not help but feel something was very wrong here. Fowler wanted to see if Shara knew anything about Radan since she was stuck with them longer and she probably did hence why Evil hunted her down. But as she was Shara was in no position to start giving out enemy Intel until she regained her strength.
"Nick don't worry she's in good hands." Jack said as Kicker watched Nick nearby.
"Jack don't." Kicker said as he looked to Jack knowing exactly what Nick was feeling. "He's worried and for good reason hell if it was sister in there." Kicker trailed off and then stopped.
"Nick just sit down ok." Lori said and thus Nick sighed and sat on the sofa and looked upward to the lights above.
The Autobots meanwhile were also helping as best they can. Ratchet was comparing the data on Rapier to that of Blade, Cutlass, and Scythe to figure out if her powers may be the cause of her current condition. June was nearby as well as she saw how worried Nick was and could see he was not leaving anytime soon until his sister was confirmed to be ok. If it was Jack in there she'd have been the same as Nick was right now.
Just then Fowler came in and thus sighed to this. "They did all they can she's resting it's all we can do." Fowler said as the way he said it... suggested something was wrong.
"Agent Fowler thank you." Optimus said but Fowler looked to Optimus and Elita.
"Don't thank me yet... we need to talk." Fowler said and thus June saw this sounded serious. Understanding this Elita, Optimus, and Ratchet went with Fowler to see what he had to say on the situation with Shara.
As Nick sat there looking at the lights his mind began to draw from certain memories. For Nick that lights above reminded him of that fateful incident. As he looked closer he then saw the Radan pods above him for a moment and with it the memories of the day he and his family were captured.
"The Argo was mankind's first attempt at a space colony." Nick began getting everyone's attention on him. It was clear that Nick was finally sharing what was the most painful memory of his life and choosing to let him speak hoping it would be therapeutic for him to let it out. "We were orbiting Phobos, one of Mar's moons, when it all happened." Nick said and thus began to recount the memory of what had happened on that fateful day.
(Flashback Argo)
On the command deck of the famous Argo the entire crew in suits were orbiting Phobos as Nick's father Ulysses Carter was at the helm while his brother Cain and sister Shara were at the varying controls. Shara was on the scanners as they began to detect something on their sensors.
"There's some sort of gravitational anomaly up ahead." Shara called out as she looked to her father.
"Impossible all the way out here?" Ulysses said as this was concerning for him.
"The anomaly it's expanding." Shara added when she saw it change on her scanners.
Seeking to get to the bottom of it Ulysses gave out his next order. "Shara, put it on the screen." Ulysses said and thus Shara got to work.
"Yes sir." Shara said and thus they were all met with the sight of space literally bending before them as if a portal of sorts was opening.
Everyone was shocked over what they were seeing as the portal opened up. "This... this is Impossible." Ulysses said as he saw what was happening.
"Dad?" Shara asked as she sounded almost frightened by such a scene.
"Dad, what is that?" Nick asked as he tried to make sense of this.
"Whatever it is, they are definitely not from Earth." Ulysses said as he saw what looked to be a space ship coming out of the space tear.
"But it can't be." Cain said as he was just as shocked over what he was seeing.
"Aliens?" Nick asked as they were unknowingly making first contact. But in ones retrospect they would have been best to leave it and continue on their path or turn around and warn Earth if they knew of the dangers this ship would bring.
"The rip it's expanding rapidly!" Shara cried out as Ulysses knew what this meant for them.
"This is bad! We'll be pulled in by the Gravity!" Another crew member a close friend to the family called out as he saw this.
"Get us out of here now!" Ulysses ordered but it was too late.
"It's not good! We won't make it!" Cain answered as he looked over to his father. Alas it came as expected a bright flash of light and the gravitational force caused the ship to shake violently and thus everyone either shielded themselves, fell off their seats, or were blinded by the bright light while crying out in shock.
(Pause Flashback)
"That thing we found... was a Radan Spacecraft." Nick confirmed as everyone paid attention realizing the Argo was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. "Before I learned about the Autobots and Decepticons I thought that was mankind's first contact with an alien race." Nick said as he laughed at his own stupidity that day. "We were excited because of the discovery we didn't even consider if they were friendly." Nick said as he grabbed his face no doubt the memories of that day was painful even now. "So as we foolishly entered we had not idea that we had just entered a nightmare." Nick said as he recalled that day with great pain.
(Continue Flashback)
"Damage report." Ulysses ordered once they got themselves organized once more.
"B4 and B6 Blocks are experiencing minor damage. But nothing serious." Nick said once he got the data on any damages the ship had taken.
"Control room, engine room, energy units- no damage reported." Cain explained as he got the data back on his station.
"Good, then we're ok." Ulysses said and thus got down to business. "Shara, have then attempted to communicate with us?" Ulysses asked as his daughter looked back over to him.
"No, and I don't even detect any life forms on board." Shara reported which struck her as odd.
"What?" Ulysses asked as he and everyone here was shocked to hear this.
"Maybe we're dealing with a space age flying Dutchman a Ghost ship?" Cain offered with a smile on his face.
"However." Shara cut in as she went on with this report. "I am detecting some vegetation. It's a very strong signal." Shara said as they all heard this.
"So they abandoned ship and left the food behind?" Cain asked which sounded dumb in all honesty for any space faring race to do.
"Looks like we'll have to explore it a bit." Nick offered with a smile on his face unaware of just what this would cause him in the near future.
"Dad shouldn't we wake Conrad and the others up?" Cain offered and thus Ulysses knew they would need to see this.
"Alright, Shara wake up the 2nd team from the artificial sleeping chambers." Ulysses ordered and went on. "We'll go on ahead and begin the investigation." Ulysses said and thus Shara nodded to this.
"Yes sir." She said and thus Nick and Cain smiled to each other and cheered a bit.
"Alright the Carter family will be famous the world over!" Nick cheered as he then got up. "I'll be the first one on!" Nick called it as he got up much to Cain's annoyance.
"Hey, no fair Nick!" Cain countered as he chased after his twin brother.
(Pause Flashback)
Everyone heard what Nick was telling them... his entire family was on that ship and up until recently it Nick was the lucky survivor. But despite this Nick was clearly carrying this major baggage with him since that day. "I was so stupid I shouldn't have agreed to that I should have done something said something if only I knew better." Nick cursed as he clenched his fist in self rage. "It was then the horror truly began." Nick said as everyone silently paid attention to what he had to say. "We were all happy up until that point... until we got sucked into that nightmare!" Nick said raising his voice a bit as the painful memories came back to him.
(Continue Flashback)
The twins followed after their father into the derelict with a few of the ones chosen for the scouting team. The odd thing was they didn't have to even cut into the ship in question it just let them right on in. That should have been the first red flag that it was not friendly as in nature predators make themselves seem as none threats to make its prey lower its guard. Shara was left back on the ship to wake up the others as they began to enter the ship. "What the Heck is all this?" Cain asked as they saw the interior of the ship as he saw all the plants inside the ship. More so the place seemed to carry its own gravity which struck the group as odd at first but chalked it up to it being an advance civilization creating artificial gravity.
"I don't know... but be careful." Ulysses urged the team as they explored this strange vessel. "Nick Cain, might be poisonous be." Ulysses said as he saw Nick about to touch the plants.
"Wait what?!" Nick asked when he heard this thinking, he may have dodged a bullet there.
"Whatever you do be, careful." Ulysses urged knowing full well that they were in uncharted territory. Just then a glow began to shine down from above which drew their attention to it. "What's going on?!" Ulysses asked as he saw the plants above them beginning to glow in an ominous way.
Just then the plant like objects began to fall upon them opening up to show an eye inside it which chomped down on one of the crew members. The man in question cried out in horror and panic just before it began a chain reaction. Once by one the pods fell down upon them and in turn the remaining crew member began to run for their lives to get back to the ship and get away. Even if the order was not given it was clear what, they had to do and thus the chase began.
Of course it would be for naught as eventually one by one they were being caught by these creatures. What was more being older and slower Ulysses was eventually caught much to Nick and Cain's horror. "Dad!" The twin boys cried out and ran over to try and free their father.
"Get away, Nick Cain!" Ulysses ordered as he knew that if the boys tried to save him then chances are they'll doom themselves and most likely the rest of the crew.
"Dad we'll get you out!" Cain called out only for the creatures to grab him next much to Nick's horror. Watching those Nick had called friends and his own family being taken the young teen was frozen in place from fear. Eventually Nick was the last one standing and the creatures knew this and as their instinct demanded went after the young man. In a panic Nick ran away as the creature gave chase to him as he ran away.
(Back on the Argo)
Shara saw the entire event play out until the image went to static. "Nick! Dad!" Shara cried out as she saw her elder brothers and father being taken by those things.
In a panic she ran over to the pods where were still undergoing the de-freezing processes. "Conrad! Everyone please hurry up and wake up!" Shara cried out as she banged her fist on Conrad's pod but to no avail.
(Back with Nick)
Nick was the last man standing as he was cornered and surrounded. Nick was without any weapons to fight back with as the creatures the Radan moved in on him. Nick then heard movement and looked before going wide eyed when one of the creatures made a leap on him. Crying out in horror Nick was soon captured by the creature just like the others and soon... the rest of the Argo's crew will follow suit.
(Pause Flashback)
"It was the Tek-Set System." Nick confirmed as that ship was what began his suffering. Miko for once was actually quiet because she honestly had nothing to say. Nick was given amazing powers but at what cost. For Miko... as shocking as it was to say it... she now had a newfound respect for her own family back in Tokyo. "We were completely helpless. They didn't just take us they boarded the Argos to take my brother Conrad, my sister Shara, and the rest of the Argos crew." Nick said as he then grabbed his head as he closed his eyes from a headache he was getting from the trauma. "I can still hear when I close my eyes sometimes... the screams I can hear them all screaming still." Nick admitted as clearly the hero who did not wish to be had suffered greatly in that time.
"Nick." Miko said and thus did something that was completely out of character for her. She hugged Nick close as she figured that he was probably suffering from a form of PTSD. Even Fowler figured Nick was going through things
"They didn't stop with us and eventually they took control of the Argo." Nick said as he still remembered what happened. "Once they got all of us, they started to change us into well you know." Nick said as he told the tale. "But not everyone was a suitable match for the Tek-Set System." Nick explained as he remembered what had happened. "Some of the Crew couldn't become Tekkaman, and they died, one by one." Nick told as he remembered the agony the pain as Radan forced this damn power onto him. "Those of us who survived were infused with the knowledge and instincts of the Radan to become the ultimate Radan Weapon as Tekkamen." Nick explained as he knew the full story.
"Nick..." Miko began as she knew Fowler and possibly the Government needed to know this. "Besides you, how many Tekkamen from the Argo are there?" Miko asked as she looked to Nick with concern.
"As far as I know, seven." Nick explained as this got Jack to do a head count with the others. "Well I already killed Dagger, so there are six left now." Nick added as thus Jack began the head count.
"Ok so we can cross off Dagger, so as of now there are currently three accounted for, Nick, Shara, and Cain." Jack said as Kicker remembered Cain well.
"Yeah, hard to believe Nick and Shara are related to that bastard." Kicker scowl no doubt seeing Cain as some sort of monster in human skin.
"Luckily the numbers are in our favor." Lori said as she knew thanks to Nick they had six for the heroes' side and counting Evil five on the Radan's side.
"Yeah, no offense, Lori but these guys were downloaded what they needed to be Tekkaman and we're still rookies." Coby said as he looked to Lori with concern for their own odds of victory. "More so they got an army on their side that already conquered most of the universe if what is being said is true." Coby added as this made Bud worried for their odds as well.
"We won't let that happen." Jetfire said as he looked to the Tekkaman.
"He's right we'll fight tooth and nail to ensure the Earth survives. We lost our planet we won't let you lose yours." Moonracer said as she looked to the Tekkaman as she agreed with Jetfire.
"Nick... why are you the only one Radan couldn't control?" Miko asked as she sat across from Nick wanting details.
"Because of my dad." Nick said as the group was surprised by this. "My dad was released from the System before the rest of us were." Nick began as he remembered that day clearly. "No wait that's not right." Nick admitted as he then looked to Miko. "The truth is that he was rejected by the system." Nick said to which by the tone he used suggested that was not a good thing.
(Continue Flashback)
From one of the tek-set system pods, Nick's father fell out from his nude, while also cover in the thick slime of the pod concealing his nude-ness, hitting the cold metal floor, soon recover after that as he stood up with energy lines from the Tek system appearing on his body and nothing else as to show he was unable to be a Tekkaman.
The father look at the different pods around soon lay eyes on one being as Nick's, as Nick himself told the story, "Even though I was trapped in the Tek system, I could sense it."
While in the pod Nick's body was going through a change as the lines are shown on his body as well before armor appeared on him in an incomplete state, but showing he was nearly completion, as Nick's father look around the room, he saw a blaster near one of the dead crew member that was ejected from the Tek-setter system, no doubt it was drop during the attack from the Radan's plants as most non-organic material were dissolved in the pod.
He stood up and walk over to it the best he could before falling down, but he still keep going until he reach out and picked it up, checking it as he saw it had some shots left, as he aims it at Nick's pod before shooting the parts that held up his pod in the air before it drops down popping like a water balloon while releasing Nick from it in his incomplete armor form.
"Nick," His father called out as he stood back up and walk over to him, checking him over as he saw Nick was in control of himself, no doubt due to his progress was incomplete with the brainwashing information was not put in, as his father said to him with a bit of a smile on his face, ""Just in time," Nick's father said as it seem he was losing his breath quick when eh spoken, as he pick up Nick's body and have him walk through the ship, back onto the Argos as his father said to him, "Do you know what they're after Nick? What I can tell... I know they haven't control your mind yet."
Both Nick and his father keep walking down the halls as they came up to a room that said pods above the door, as his father went on saying, "It seems they need compatible bodies for their human reconstruction plan, and I guess I'm one of the incompatibles. Luckily I was able to find you... my last shred of hope."
They soon reach an escape pod room as Nick's father close the door behind them before opening up the pod in the room placing Nick into it.
He was about to close it and send Nick off, Nick called out to him saying, "Wait, dad. What is it that you want me to do? Don't tell me you're..."
"I'm sending you back to earth," His father said as Nick called out, "No! I can't leave you or the others behind!"
"There's no hope for me," His father said surprising him as he went on saying, "But you have a mission to full fill. I know it will be difficult, but I'm going to do what I can."
Suddenly from the close doors, pink slime came leading out from the cracks of the doors, moving around like it was alive as it was slowly filling the room with Nick's father said, "We're out of time. They're coming to kill me!"
"Kill you?" Nick question, with the strange slime was letting off some steam while covering the floor and a bit of the wall before moving away as it show the goo was dissolving it a bit as Nick father went on to explain to him, "I'm not compatible. I cannot become a Tekkaman like you can Nick. So the Radan I'm just a virus to them now, a virus that could infect them. And just like a white blood cell will kill any Virus the Radan will do the same."
He reach over to the control panel, pulling down a lever as he close the pod with Nick in it as Nick called out to him, "Dad!"
"Nick, your mission is to destroy Cain and Shara, and those who are controlled by the Radam," Nick's father said to him while sounding in pain while trying to remain calm, as the slime touch his feet, no doubt it was slowly dissolving him, as Nick said to him, "But dad..."
"I know it won't be easy. But you must remember this. You've got to do it, or else the entire human race and all living life will be destroyed! The Radam are planning to invade earth!"
The slime soon cover Nick father's legs as he said to Nick one last time, "Goodbye Nick. Starting today, forget your past but remember who you are. Your enemy is the Radam and those control by them who will invade earth... they're aren't your friends or family anymore."
Soon the slime was covering his arms as Nick's father soon pull down the last lever and ejected the pod out into space, no doubt the pod was program to take anyone back to earth as Nick called out to him one last time as he was shot into space, "DAD!"
(With Nick)
As the pod floated away from the ship, Nick saw through a small window of the pod he is in as he was crying out as he said, "Dad! Dad!"
Tears flow from Nick's eyes from under the armor helmet as he said from his cracking voice as he cried, "D-Dad, Conrad, Ca-Cain, S-Shara."
Soon enough the pod vanish into the darkness of space as it travel back to earth, with Nick giving his mission from his father to destroy the Radam and those who are controlled by them.
(Pause Flashback)
Everyone that heard Nick's story no doubt crying as Miko was shedding tears of her own as they flowing from her eyes as she didn't know that Nick's own father would sacrifice his own life to save his son, the only one he could save by the sound of it.
"Miko... are you crying because of me?" Nick asked her as she turn her head and wipe away her tears from one eye as she said, "What else, not like I'm crying for any other reason!"
Nick blink a bit to her, surprise by this as Miko said that to him as he reach over to her and place his hand over Mick's cheek as he use his thumb to wipe away the tears in Miko's other eye, surprising her with this, but let it be as she grab his hand and held it there.
With the others as the humans group cry a bit for nick including the adults with them, as well some of the Autobots too with fluids coming out of Bulkhead's eye as the large green Wrecker gave a "sniff humm" sound as he wipe at his eyes. The scout saw this as Bumblebee looked over to Bulkhead as he give a buzz sound like he as asking his big friend, "Are you crying?"
"I'm not crying, Wreckers don't cry, I must have sprang a leak or something is all," Bulkhead said trying to cover up he is crying.
(Continue Flashback)
Nick was getting closer and closer to earth no doubt as he keep drifting through space as Nick keep telling the story, "So much time had passed that I soon lost track of it, but while I was in the escape pod, I felt other Tekkamen who were about to awaken."
Back at the alien ship a pod different from the others as it was within a different room, no doubt a special Tekkaman was resting in until his pod broke open spilling out the fluid within it and with Tekkaman Omega standing there completed.
Back with Nick as he went on with story as he said, "It must have been a few months or so before my pod reached earth, but by the time I got there, the Radam beat me there first."
The Radam were preparing to descend down onto earth while hanging in the upper atmosphere with all the satellites floating around and soon took notice of Nick's pod as it gotten closer.
"When I reach the upper atmosphere, I was no longer Nick Carter, as I began my mission that was given to me by my father and broke out of the pod and throw into the fire."
Nick destroy his pod somehow from the inside as it exploded, and from the smoke and debris of the pod before it all cleared out reviling Nick doing Tekk-setter, his first transformation as his armor glow out with the colors faded in and soon fully formed in its complete form, the birth of blade as Nick called out, "Tekkaman Blade!"
Soon enough the battle had went like it did, as he fought and cut down many Radam around in space while fighting between satellites with some being destroy in the crossfire of the Radam attack upon Blade as the Tekkaman avoided their attacks.
Soon enough Dagger soon appeared as before as he attack Blade with energy arrows from his weapon before Blade counter and fought against him for a bit until that surprise attack from a Radam that came out of nowhere, gripping onto Nick before Dagger stab into it making both the Radam and Blade fall down to earth through the atmosphere, as they started to burn up as Blade gave his vow.
"No... I can't die," Blade said as he was clearly not one to give up. "I refuse... I refuse to die until they've been defeated!"
Blade soon fell down to Jasper Nevada's desert with the three Autobots and their human host were nearby as Blade landed with an impact explosion.
Skipping forward a bit as it shows Nick was walking out from the smoke in the center of the crater he made while being buck naked before collapsing down.
(End Flashback)
"And the rest is history." Nick said as he sat there with all eyes on him. All were quiet as clearly Nick had been through a lot in his life. It was a miracle he didn't go through space madness while isolated for who knows how long.
Just then June walked in as she sounded solemn. "Nick she's awake." June announced as she looked to Nick who was surprised by this.
"Shara!?" Nick gasped and thus he got moving.
"And there he goes." Kicker said as he saw Nick run off to see his younger sister.
(Shara)
Nick arrived at the gurney that currently held Shara as by the looks of it she seemed ok. "Shara!" Nick called out as he saw Shara was awaken and well.
"Nick." Shara gasped as Nick was wide eyed praying this was not a dream.
He stood there frozen in place as he saw his sister alive and well. It took all of Nick's power and his self-control not to break down but he could not help himself. "SHARA!" Nick called out as he went forth and hugged Shara close to him truly thankful to have his sister back.
"Nick!" Shara cried as she held her brother like a life line. "I, tried to find you, Nick... I tried so hard." Shara said as Nick was just happy to have her here.
"Shara." Nick said but then noticed her grip changed. Even after all this time Nick knew why Shara's hand would move like that. Something was troubling Shara and inside Nick felt the grip of fear grab at his heart. "Shara what's wrong?" Nick asked as he looked to his younger sister worried for her.
Nearby Optimus, Elita, and Ratchet saw the scene and held a solemn look on their face plates. As much as Ratchet may dislike humans he's never wish their deaths or their extinction. But war in all its forms carry casualties from soldiers on the front lines to innocent lives caught in the crossfire. Fowler had told the Bots what the doctors told him and many of them suspected that Shara had already known the truth.
"Nick I've looked for you for so long, I had to find you to tell you something important. I had to tell you this... before I die." Shara said making Nick go wide eye to this.
Nick went wide eyed when Shara said that last part. "Before you die?" Nick asked shocked at what Shara just said. "Shara, what are you talking about?" Nick asked praying it was just a cruel joke. But Nick knew his sister being here as she was... it was too good to be true.
"I'm just like dad." Shara revealed as Nick heard this. "I was ejected from the pod as incomplete! I wasn't compatible with the system." Shara revealed and thus Nick was left wide eyed in shock at his sister's words.
Everyone was shocked over what they heard as none of them expected this. Elita looked away in sadness as Optimus clenched his fist no doubt seeing the cruelty of war take another innocent life. June had overheard the doctors talk and knew that Shara's body was systematically shutting down since it could not handle the augmentations done to it by Radan.
Nick was wide eyed in shock as he felt his whole world came crashing down on him. Nick stumbled over his feet a bit before he fell against the wall and slid down. Nick grabbed his face trying to find some way to deny the truth but it was all plain as day for him. "Did she just say...?" Miko gasped as she couldn't even fathom the fact that at any point in this conflict any of them could die. Most of the time Miko snuck to the front lines she had the Autobots keeping her alive. But Nick and Shara they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time and here they were made soldiers against their will.
Nick had the worst of it as it seems that to him, he was brought back to Earth only to suffer without end. He was losing his family and friends partial by his own hands as well as do to the actions of Radan. Jack was shocked at this that the only reason Shara managed to escape was because she was a reject to the Radan. It was a damn miracle she didn't suffer their father's fate.
Kicker and the other Tekkaman didn't realize just how damn lucky they were to make it out alive. This proved that Radan had now limit to their own cruelty and for many it was a haunting reminder why Radan must not be allowed to win. "Autobots Space Knights." Shara began as she got everyone's attention onto her. "There is a reason why I had to find you all, it involves the Radan's grand plan for Earth and with it Cybertron as well." Shara said as she knew Radan had been rather angry over losing their shot at getting Cybertron so long ago.
"Cybertron?" Elita asked surprised to hear Radan was still gunning for Cybertron after all this time.
"I know this is a dire time for you, but any enemy intelligence you can provide will be beneficial in ensuring this worlds survival." Optimus said as he looked to Shara. She honestly had his condolences for her condition as well as her respect for managing to make it to Earth despite the fact her body was failing.
With a nod Shara began to sit up and in turn Nick acted. "Shara!" Nick said as he helped her sit up so she can address everyone here. Shara then put a comforting hand on her elder brother's hand which was currently resting on her shoulder before she smiled to Nick.
"The Radan have been cultivating their trees to transform Earth into an environment more compatible to them. Their plan is to basically bioform the earth to suit their needs." Shara said as she looked to the group.
"Wait but we've seen those trees and they hardly had any effect on us." Fowler said as he took note of all the information Shara was providing them.
"It's because they haven't fully bloomed yet." Shara explained as she looked to the gathered mix group of Tekkaman, Human's, and Autobots. "And due to the Space Knights recent activities Radan has been forced to push back their plans." Shara said surprising the group.
"Wait what have we been doing that has Radan pushing back their plans?" Coby asked as he looked to Shara in confusion.
"The Tekkaman leading the invasion, Omega, has been in contact with the primary command of Radan asking for reinforcements he may not have realized it but I was listening in even inside the pod." Shara said as she looked to the group. "Nick... you and your friends have basically sparked a Tekkaman uprising on worlds Radan had intended to control." Shara said as she looked to Nick who was surprised by this.
"How is this possible?" Optimus asked as he looked to Shara.
"If I had to guess someone from those worlds heard something they should not and started working on freeing those of their species who were captured." Shara said as she wasn't exactly sure on the details but she did know Nick was the cause of it. It's also why Radan had not sent for reinforcements because Radan was busy trying to snuff out all these rebellions. "Tekkaman who managed to free themselves all over the cosmos have been declaring themselves Space Knights." Shara said which meant one thing for the group, they had allies out there and they were all fighting back.
"You said the flowers weren't in bloom." Lori cut in as she looked to Shara. "What does that mean?" Lori asked as she was confused as to why flowers Radan used needed to be in bloom.
Shara then squeezed her brother's hand as she knew this was not something anyone wanted to hear. "When the flowers have all been properly cultivated and planted then once the time is right they will all bloom at the exact same time." Shara said as she then got to the final bit of it. "The Earth will begin to bio form to the Radan's needs, all sentient life will either die or become new Tekkaman to add to Radan's forces." Shara said as she looked to the people who were all wide eyed in shock when they heard this.
"With the primary forces of the Radan unable to provide aid, Omega has been diverting what strength he can to awaken the other Tekkaman as soon as possible." Shara explained to the group as they now had a name to the head honcho of this invasion, Omega.
"Wait so the others are Dagger, who Nick killed already, Omega is the big boss, then there's Nicks psycho brother Evil, Nick himself, Shara." Coby began as he counted off the Tekkaman who were on this invasion thing.
"Bud just shut up and listen to what she has to say." Lori said as the Scythe user of the group made it clear interruptions were NOT ok.
Seeing the question Shara opted to answer it. "The ones about to awaken are Axe, Lance, and Sword... all of them comrades of Dagger who Nick killed." Shara said and thus Misha had another bit to add.
"And all of them members of the Argo's crew." Misha said realizing that it made sense since the Argo was filled with humans, perfect to be sent to Earth, infiltrate its defenses and take them down from the inside out.
"This also means we got Four Tekkaman under Omega who are still kicking." Arcee added as she knew that with Nick and his group the odds were evened out. Yes, Nick had more Tekkaman on his side but Omega has more resources to compensate for that.
"But what of their plans for Cybertron?" Ratchet asked as he needed to know.
"Radan has been taking Energon not only to adapt around it but also to find a way to get to every Cybertronian and graft biological components into them so they can be made compatible to the Tekk-Sett System." Shara said and thus Optimus knew what Radan was doing.
"Forced reformatting to turn every Cybertronian into a techno Organic to make them easier to enslave." Optimus spoke as he heard the stories of Techno Organics. Some of them were born to Cybertronian's who managed to mate with a biological life form via their hard light hologram forms. Others were due to an accident when a Protoform scanned organic tissue resulting in a Techno-Organic life form. "Shara, where are they now?" Optimus asked as he would not allow Radan to do this to Cybertron or Earth.
Shara was quite for a moment but when she spoke it was not good news. "They are on the Dark Side of the Moon." Shara revealed which shocked everyone here.
"Radan's base is on the Dark of the Moon?!" Nick asked shocked to hear this.
"An ideal fortress we cannot reach it with our limited resources." Ratchet said as he knew that they were pushing it with the Ground Bridge when Megatron tried to bring an army of the dead to Earth via his own Space Bridge.
"It was not by choice but a happy accident for them regardless." Shara said as she then explained how it was the case. "After dad managed to free you, Nick he blew up the Argo and the resulting explosion caused the Radan ship to spin out of control until they crashed landed on the moon and there is where they have been ever since." Shara said as she went on. "Omega is the strongest of the Tekkaman hence why he leads this invasion but right now that strength is being diverted to repairing the ship and in doing so left him all but merged with it." Shara explained as when Jack heard this, he had begun to grow some mad respect for Nick's dad. Guy basically marooned the Radan and their only hope was to basically cripple their strongest warrior so he can get that ship fixed ASAP.
"Regrettably it's all mote at this point because without a ship of our own we have no hope of transporting our forces to the moon." Ratchet said as he realized that while this intelligence was valuable it was useless without a means of reaching the Moon. "Jetfire has the best shot at reaching it but one Autobot will not be enough to best them at their own base." Ratchet said as Jetfire had to agree with Ratchet.
"Our only best bet is to eliminate Omega but without a means to reach it Omega is virtually untouchable." Optimus revealed and thus they knew they needed a new plan to reach the moon.
Nick then stood up and began to walk torts Optimus. Now that they know where Radan is currently based at, they can attack them head on. "We have to do something their right there this is our chance to end Radan once and for all!" Nick yelled as he looked to Optimus.
"Precisely if we undergo a mission of that magnitude, we must leave zero room for mistakes." Optimus explained as he knew Nick's heart was in the right place. "We must not allow ourselves to be rash with this." Optimus urged knowing full well they needed to plan carefully if they wish to reach Radan's moon base. "Even if you go there with Jetfire and Pegas you can only remain transformed for 30 minutes at a time and while the others don't share such a weakness, they are too inexperienced to be of a fighting chance against Omega." Optimus explained and thus Fowler stepped in.
"Prime's right kid you can't just charge in half-cocked we need a plan." Fowler said as this caused Nick to growl in response.
"Nick." Shara said as she tried to make her way to Nick. But alas she could barely make three steps before she collapsed as her body was suddenly wracked with great pain.
"Shara!" Nick cried out as he went over as Fowler managed to catch Shara in time. Shara was screaming out as the pain her body was suffering from was severe. As Nick saw this June came in to try and stabilize her which was when she saw how her veins were glowing from the Radan's power flowing through her. As Nick saw this, he closed his eyes and knew that Shara needed him more than his mission did. For what it was worth through, Nick was grateful to have his sister back.
(Scene Break Radan Base Dark of the Moon)
In the Radan's base a pulsing sound was heard similar to a heartbeat as near Omega's throne like area the three Pods that had remained were pulsing. Steadily but surely the pulsing for them began to increase until it reached it apex and they hatched. From them three Tekkaman began to come forth as one by one they landed on the ground with their eyes shining showing they were alive.
In turn Omega began to address the newest soldiers under his command. "Axe, Lance, and Sword, I've been looking forward to your awakening." Omega said as the three newly awoken Tekkaman stood there. Two of them were male as one was bulky with heavy armor while the other was sleek and slim. The larger of the two males was Tekkaman Axe and slimmer of the two was Tekkaman Lance. The last Tekkaman was a female and was no doubt Tekkaman Sword. "We have little time to talk, meet with Evil on our Outpost base and coordinate with him and the Decepticons to eliminate the Traitor Blade and the rogue Tekkaman as well as the Autobots." Omega said as the three turned to Omega when they heard him address them all.
"Yes, sir." Axe began as his glowing left eye flashed crimson with life.
"Yes, sir." Lance went as his crimson eye also flashed as well.
Sword was silent as she simply nodded with her crimson eyes flashing as well. The three then activated their thrusters and with it some of their powers before they flew off. They began to make their way to Earth to meet with Evil and provide him with aid in dealing with the Blade and his Space Knights.
Omega was left alone as he knew with this the Tekkaman Civil War would begin. With this in mind he knew this meant having to kill them all but as Radan ordered the greater Tekkaman Rebellion was sparked by Blade thus eliminate him and the rebellion will lose its morale and burn. "Tekkaman Blade, there's no future left for you." Omega said and in turn chuckled to himself as he could all but taste his impending victory over Blade and his Space Knights and with it see the end of this Tekkaman Rebellion so Radan can return to their intended goals. But as the war rages only time will reveal the victor when the black smoke born of the fires of war finally clears up.
