Plot – Kicker doesn't want to fight against Misha, because of Galvatron's newest creation: Dark Energon. Later on, Alexis gets abducted by Obsidian and much like with Koji and Misha, she is also brainwashed by Dark Energon. Feeling angered about his best friend manipulated by Galvatron, Kicker unlocks a new power from within himself after Galvatron explained to the Autobots about his escape from the Asteroid Prison Colony, the termination of his own Predacon allies and the creation of Dark Energon.
Chapter 3: Lethal Nightmare
Kicker and T-Ai's faces and everybody else were left frozen in fear. They're staring at the new dark appearances of Misha and Koji brainwashed by Galvatron's newest arsenal: Dark Energon.
Rodimus and Optimus were both enraged by all of this madness.
"Just as I suspected. Galvatron has created a new batch of Energon by combining Unicron and the Predacon's powers into Dark Energon! This is completely absurd!"
"Good point, Rodimus. Galvatron! I will make you pay for what you have done to them!"
Galvatron scorned. "Oh, really? I've done nothing wrong, Prime! Can't you see? They look much different than they were, before you've even met them from the start!"
"You cross-eyed jerk! You bring them back!" fueled X-Brawn, who tried to pounce at Galvatron but Rodimus stopped him.
"Don't even think about it, X-Brawn. There must be another way of freeing Koji and Misha from the Dark Energon without even harming them."
"Yeah, but how and where?"
"Talk all you want, Auto-fools! You know what they say 'Resistance is Futile' and it shall stay that way! Now, let the fun begin!" He commands to one of his Dark Energon warriors. "Misha, destroy Kicker!"
The manipulated Misha begins to walk slowly towards Kicker's direction and then, she began to run very fast until she cloaked him with a very hard kick to the face, sending him crashing down to the floor. Everyone were left very stunned to see of how different Misha and Koji had become. Especially, Kicker.
"Kicker!" shouted Sally.
"What has he done to you? Misha!" yelled Kicker to her.
But, she didn't answer him and remains completely silent with a very cold look on her face. Her dark purple eyes and the Decepticon insignia on her forehead were glowing brightly purple.
"Talk all you want, Kicker. Your best friend is now the newest member of the Decepticons. Beating her won't be an easy task for a stubborn person such as you" answered Galvatron looking back at him with pure pleasure.
"No, you can't do that! Misha, try and fight it!"
Again, she still didn't answer to him and remained very silent as the wind blew her long dark brown hair.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Save your breath, human, because you're going to need all of that strength of yours to muster on the battlefield. And, once you will witness the supreme power of the Dark Energon from her, you will be begging for mercy."
"Forget it, Galvatron! She's my best friend!" yelled Kicker.
"Galvatron! I'm going to rip out every circuit in your spark until you've got nothing left, you filthy bastard!" called Magnus with anger.
The Decepticon leader laughed. "I'm afraid that you'll have to wait in line, Ultra Magnus. You see, if you had joined us instead of the Autobots back then, I could've shared my victory with you. But I guess, I was wrong."
"Why don't you put a sock in it, you moron?" requested Sideburn.
"Yeah! That goes double for me, too!" agreed Prowl.
"Misha, don't you recognize me?" Kicker tries asking her one last time, but Misha just stood there in silence with her dark purple eyes and the Decepticon insignia on her forehead glowing once again. "Misha!" He grabs part of her uniform and starts shaking her until she shoves him and connects with a hard right cross straight to his face, causing him to stumble back. He got back on his own two feet before Misha tried to hit him again. This time with a spinning heel kick, but Kicker saw her next move and was able to withdraw the attack. "Misha, snap out of it! It's me, Kicker! I'm your best friend, damn it!"
"Holy frijoles! He's getting beaten up by his own girlfriend! What do we do, now?" panicked Carlos.
"You got me." Rad notices someone was missing within the group. "Hey, where did T-Ai run off to?"
"Over there and what in blazes does she think she's doing?" questioned Magnus.
"I've got to help Kicker!" T-Ai ran into the battlefield and hoping to assist Kicker.
"No, T-Ai! Get back here, this instant!" ordered Optimus.
"Too late for that, Optimus. She didn't hear your response" answered Rodimus.
The Decepticon leader notices an oncoming intruder coming this way by trying to interrupt and stopping this horrific conflict from going any further. "What's that foolish girl think she's trying to do? Get involved in this situation? No matter. Koji! Take care of that insolent brat!"
He nodded to him and ran straight for T-Ai.
She continued to run but was easily stopped by Koji blocking her path with his dark purple eyes and the Decepticon insignia on his forehead glowing on him. Just like Misha's. Her fear had worsened and was frozen in panic. She tried responding to him and perhaps, break the hold from Galvatron's manipulation. "Don't do this, Koji! You've got to fight it! I'm begging you, please!"
Koji was silent for a moment and then, he growled with anger by knocking her down with a hard left jab to the abdomen and later, following it up with a right hook to her chin that sent her sprawling to the ground hard like a rag doll.
Kicker was then clobbered by Misha earlier by a pounding head-butt to his head and a knee to his stomach that sent him crashing to the floor. He managed to get back on his feet again and wiped the blood off from his mouth that was dripping. As he looked on in utter frustration, he begins to dwell his thoughts in his mind. "How could Galvatron do this to her? It's like, she doesn't even know who I am! There must be a solution to end this! The question is, where and how?"
As soon he begins to ponder, T-Ai was walking slowly towards him with a few bruises on her body and face. "Kicker, I think…I understand, what has happened to…Koji and Misha."
"Such as?"
She responded. "When I stared at Koji and Misha's eyes, it would seem that both of their internal bodies have been consumed with the Dark Energon and it's all because of Galvatron."
Galvatron seemed pleased about her unveiled result and started laughing. "You're quite the smart one, aren't you? Although, I have to admit your explanation with my diabolical scheme about my Dark Energon was rather quite amusing to me."
"Says you, Galvatron! Your pathetic tricks won't work on me or T-Ai!" said Kicker.
The leader of the Decepticons laughed again. "Speaking of tricks, human. I've got one more ace up my sleeve and believe me, you and your pathetic Autobots are going to enjoy this."
"Huh?" T-Ai looked puzzled.
"What do you mean? Explain yourself!" angered Kicker with pure rage.
"Ah, it's quite simple. After I've had my experiment on your human friends earlier, I was able to make another stash of Dark Energon right after I've completed the process. So, I'll do the same to you and the rest of them!" shouted Galvatron by pointing out to the Autobots' allies.
Everyone was left very shocked of overhearing Galvatron's situation. So was Alexis as she stood at Rad's side by clutching his arm.
"Rad, I'm very worried about this" said Alexis.
"I understand, Alexis. As long as you're here with the Autobots, you'll be safe from harm's way" replied Rad.
"Thanks, I really appreciate it" nodded Alexis with a smile.
"Hey, you guys. This isn't the time for some tough love or anything. But, we need to figure out of how we can get rid of the Dark Energon that's controlling them" explained Carlos.
Magnus interrupted. "Well, Kicker needs to destroy the Dark Energon by defeating them in battle and then, extracting the source."
"Do you actually think that it might work?" asked SnowCat.
Rodimus replied. "Perhaps, SnowCat. But, I'm not certain that it could ever happen."
Later on, T-Ai tries to communicate with Koji once again by trying to fight off the Dark Energon. "Please wake up, Koji! You're not Galvatron's slave! He's using you to pulverize me! Don't do this to me!"
But, he didn't respond and pounded her with a thunderous right hook to her face, then hoisting her over his head and delivers a devastating back-breaker to her until he throws her to the ground, lying motionless. Koji immediately takes off to join in on the fight with Misha.
Meanwhile, Kicker is still having difficulties dealing with a brainwashed Misha after dodging her previous punch. "Pull yourself together, Misha! Don't you realize that Galvatron is forcing you to fight me? Don't you get it? For heaven's sake, get a grip on yourself!"
Unfortunately, Misha didn't accept Kicker's request as she nailed him yet again with a hard right kick to the face that sent him reeling in the air and then pounded him again with a hard left punch to his stomach; Kicker was then knocked out on the ground for a little while, but managed to wake up immediately and sees Misha charging up her Dark Energon powers right at him. Kicker freaked out, but he was able to roll out of the way just as Misha's attack blasted right onto the pavement with a huge bang.
Kicker slowly stood his head up, stares at Misha with her fists clenched and her dark purple eyes and the Decepticon insignia on her forehead glowed as she tries to stomp on his head, but he dodges it and got back on his stability. He then ran out of harm's way from her. But, he didn't see his other victim that nailed him from behind and it was Koji. He was losing his stance when he was hit in the back, but quickly turned around and blocked Koji's oncoming punch before it made contact. Kicker than looked curious as to why Koji is attacking him and that's when he saw T-Ai unconscious and barely moving. He felt very discouraged and so, he grabs Koji by the shirt and threw him over his shoulders. He sees Misha throwing a punch at him, but he countered it with a knee to her ribs and shoves her to the ground as he ran towards T-Ai's path. When he was next close to her, he kneeled down on both knees and shook her hard, while trying to wake her up from her injuries. "Come to your senses, T-Ai! Wake up, already!"
She slowly opened her eyes and sees Kicker right next to her. "Ugh…Ah…Kicker, thank you. But, I wasn't able to break through to Koji and he nearly destroyed me. All because of Galvatron planting the Dark Energon inside of him."
Kicker narrowed his eyes sternly at her. "Well, that explains why you came down here and trying to help me out." He carefully picks her up from the ground and back on her feet. "You'd better stay out of this, T-Ai. You're way too harmful to be hurt."
"Thank you, Kicker. I'll remember that" said T-Ai and ran back to the Autobots and company.
Kicker sighed heavily for a moment until he was struck again in the back by both Koji and Misha's kicks. He screamed in pain and fell back down to the ground. He groaned weakly from the attack as his face becomes barely bruised. He tries to get back up again, but Koji kicks him in the chest and making the pain worsened. The Autobots and everyone else look on in disbelief, while the Decepticons laughed at their new mercenaries beating the crap out of Kicker. Then, Misha grabs both of Kicker's legs and starts spinning him around fast like a play-toy. After a short while, she throws Kicker high into the air, yelling in fear and then, Koji teleported on-top of him and nails a hard right hook that sent Kicker crashing to the ground very hard. He glanced at Misha one last time, just before he lost conscious. "Misha, why? Why are you…doing this…to…me?" He was then out like a light and the Autobots were left very perplexed to see Kicker defeated by his own best friend controlled by Galvatron's Dark Energon.
Optimus was very furious about the outcome and demanded that this ongoing assault must be halted. "You've gone too far, Galvatron! Stop this at once!"
"If you insist. Koji! Misha! Stand down!" shouted Galvatron by commanding his Dark Energon soldiers to cease the beatdown.
With a flash of their Decepticon insignias on their foreheads, both of them heard Galvatron's response and halted their attack. The Autobots and everybody else let out a sigh of relief and proceeded to help out the injured Kicker.
"How's Kicker? Is he okay?" asked Sally.
Rad checked his pulse on his wrist and his entire body, while he shakes his head in disappointment. "This can't be good. He's taken too much damage from both Koji and Misha's attacks. He will have to rest up a little bit, before he can even fight again."
"Aw, man! Isn't there anything that we can do to help him?" moaned Carlos.
"We'll have to bring him into the medical room as soon as possible and recover his injuries" replied T-Ai as she sees a stretcher being brought in, placed Kicker onto the stretcher and into the medical room.
"I can't believe from what has happened to my brother. It's just too much" cried Sally.
"I know, Sally. This is a catastrophe. Why would Galvatron do such a horrible thing?" says Alexis sadly.
"I'm not sure, Alexis. But until we find out what the truth is about Galvatron's Dark Energon, keep a lid on it" explained Rad and she nods her head in agreement.
"I also agree with Rad. Galvatron! You make me sick by turning our own friends against us! This will not be tolerated again!" angered Rodimus.
"Thanks for the tip, Rodimus! But since all of you don't want to see any more excitement, I'll be on my way. All Decepticons, fallback!" Galvatron and his men, along with Koji and Misha by departing from the Autobot base. But then, he stopped and lays out an unexpected surprise to the Autobots. "Oh, one more thing, Rodimus. About what I said of seeing more excitement, I've got one more trick." He holds up a mysterious grey orb and tosses it at the Autobots that leaves them shaken. Galvatron watches from above as the gray orb starts whirling around and then, it exploded and releases a huge thick cloud of dark smoke that caused everyone to cough.
Suddenly, a mysterious figure jumped in and grabs Alexis from behind by clutching her arms with its claws and hoisted her into the air.
As the thick black smoke had finally cleared out, Rodimus was fumed by Galvatron's trickery. "Now, what the hell did he do that for?"
"Beats me, Rodimus." Carlos realizes that someone next to Rad wasn't here and became curious. "Huh? Hey, where's Alexis?"
"What happened to her? Where'd she go?" wondered Sally.
"Oh, no! Guys, look up there!" yelled Rad in bewilderment by seeing Alexis get captured by the same Decepticon that took Koji and Misha: Obsidian.
She screamed in terror as she cries out to anyone's name for help. "Someone help me! Kicker! Rad! Carlos! Sally!"
"You're not getting away that easily!" roared Magnus by heading towards Obsidian's path and hoping to retrieve Alexis.
But, Galvatron was in the way and preventing his rescue. "You stay out of this, you mongrel! Cutter Beam!" He blasts Magnus from the sky and falls down to the ground hard and was knocked out cold. Galvatron laughed at his fallen prey, while he and Obsidian leave the Autobot base with Alexis as their latest captor.
She screamed to Rad, before she vanished with them. "Rad!"
"Alexis!"
Her screaming immediately faded once the Decepticons flew away from the Autobot base.
"Damn it! They got away again! This time, they took Alexis! Galvatron is more ruthless than I thought he was!" muttered Rodimus.
"I'm with you on that, Rodimus. He has crossed the line for the last time!" yelled Optimus.
"Hold on there, Optimus. You're not thinking of going after Galvatron, are you? I mean, he might have some backup with him if you follow. I'd suggest that we should talk this over" described SnowCat.
Rodimus and Optimus looked at each other and responded back to him.
"Good thinking, SnowCat. Maybe, we should discuss this inside for an important meeting. So that way, we can be ready the next time when we face Galvatron. Don't you agree, Optimus?"
"Yes, I also agree with SnowCat as well. All right, everyone. Let's head back inside."
Afterwards, everybody else followed him inside the Autobot base for an important discussion.
Meanwhile, inside the Decepticon base, Galvatron is gloating over his latest victim that Obsidian had just captured. It was Alexis; her arms were chained high on the wall and being guarded by both Koji and Misha, brainwashed by Galvatron. When she looked at their solemn faces, her fear began to sink in and begins trembling her body, while her forehead began to sweat and her teeth were chattering.
"This is very amusing." He laughed by placing his huge fingertip under Alexis's chin. "My, my. What a delightful and lovely lady, you are. It's no wonder that one of your human friends had their eyes set on you."
Alexis grunted. "Get off me, you damn creep!"
The deceiving Decepticon removed his big finger from her chin and backed away from her. "How flattering. For someone who's attractive, you even have a stubborn attitude than I thought."
"So, what? Rad is also stubborn. But, I still care about him" replied Alexis.
"On the contrary, my dear. He'll be your mortal enemy, once I inject you with this." He shows to her, a prism-like shape Energon. Unlike the original Energon, it's covered with dark purple energy.
This made Alexis's blood run deeply cold. "Please, no! Anything but that!"
Galvatron laughed with delight and moves in closer to Alexis with the Dark Energon carrying with him. "Unlike you pathetic humans, I don't take excuses. So trust me, this will hurt a lot." He transfers the Dark Energon inside Alexis's body and it shined the entire Decepticon base. When she felt the pain of the Dark Energon being injected inside of her, she screamed very loudly in despair until it subsided, along with the bright purple light. The Decepticon leader gloated with success, while he unshackles Alexis's chains and placed her on the ground firmly. He watches the transformation beginning to take fold as the Decepticon insignia appears brightly purple on Alexis's forehead and her eyelids opened to reveal her dark purple eyes, along with a very solemn expression.
"Ah, complete success." He gazes at his new mercenaries that are now under his control. "Now, this is what I call 'three of a kind' or should I say 'three of a bind'?" his mad laughter echoed throughout the Decepticon base with pure madness.
Back inside Autobot HQ, Rad, Carlos, Sally, T-Ai and the newly recovered Kicker were all by themselves in one room: Kicker's dormitory. Their faces were filled with depression, due to their best friends being captured by Galvatron and later manipulated with Dark Energon.
Kicker was sitting on his bed and groaned heavily about Misha brainwashed by Galvatron. So did Rad, Carlos and Sally also feeling discouraged for Alexis as well; and lastly, T-Ai feeling very unhappy about Koji being mind-controlled from Galvatron as well.
"Any idea of how we can bring them back?" asked Sally.
Rad shook his head in disbelief. "I'm not sure, Sally. We've never encountered anything like this before."
"Listen, you guys. We can't just sit around here being ashamed of ourselves for what happened to them, back there. We need a plan," explained Kicker.
"You're right, Kicker. We need to figure out of how we can extract the Dark Energon that's controlling Koji and Misha" says T-Ai.
"That seems logic to me. But, how can we get rid of it?" asked Carlos.
"It's almost hard to describe, Carlos. But, only Optimus and the Autobots would figure out that situation" said Rad.
Later, in the private meeting room, Optimus Prime and the Autobots are having an important discussion about planning their next move against Galvatron and the Decepticons. "Now, listen up, men. We need to plan ahead against Galvatron and his Dark Energon. We've defeated the Decepticons before and we can beat them again. No matter the cost."
"I see where you're getting at, Optimus. But, the main problem is that Galvatron has taken control over their best friends with his Dark Energon and we need to find the source that can break through to them" answered Rodimus.
Magnus responded. "I can think of a few reasons. One, Kicker can sense Energon when his hair turns brightly gold and two, he might be the only one that can eliminate the Dark Energon. But in order to do it, he needs to use the Energon Shockwave that he received from Primus."
"Primus? I wonder how often he appears, when there's a crisis like this one" said Sideburn.
"Is it really possible that Kicker might pull it off? This could be risky and he might almost lose his life" described X-Brawn.
"I hate to admit it, Optimus. But, I think X-Brawn makes a good observation about the outcome. The problem is, can we afford it?" asked Prowl.
"That's a good suggestion, Prowl. Like Magnus said 'Kicker is the only one that can destroy the Dark Energon'. But, I'm afraid that I can't accept my brother's favor and that's final" answered Optimus.
"What?" shouted Magnus in disappointment.
"Hold on a second. Are you saying that Kicker isn't strong enough to destroy the Dark Energon or is it that you don't want any of your men being sacrificed in battle?" demanded Demolisher.
"That's exactly it, Demolisher. I'm not letting Kicker get involved in this point of matter and even if I did, the results would be disastrous" explained Optimus.
"Aw, man! That's not fair! He's the only one that can break the Dark Energon from them? What gives?" complained SnowCat.
"Shut up! My decision is final and that's it!" yelled Optimus with anger.
Then, from out of nowhere, Rodimus clobbered him with a hard punch straight to his face and thus bringing him down to one knee. The Autobots were left very surprised of what just transpired.
Optimus moaned weakly from the attack that Rodimus gave him and got up very slowly. "Rodimus! Why did you do that? I want some answers!"
"Here's my answer, Optimus. What in the name of Vector Sigma were you thinking? Prohibiting Kicker from our battle against Galvatron and the Decepticons? That's completely outrageous! If we do that, both the Earth and even the universe will be enslaved!"
There was a brief silence for a moment.
Optimus stood up and responded. "I apologize, Rodimus. I must've been foolish enough to restrict Kicker from battling against the Decepticons. Magnus, I take back from what I said earlier. I'll accept your offer on my behalf."
Magnus nodded. "I'm glad to hear it."
The alarm was sounded off in the Autobot base. Signaling the Autobot's attention.
Rodimus homed in a signal on his receiver from the outside of the Autobot base. "Quickstrike, come in. What's your status?"
"Rodimus, sir. Reports indicate that Galvatron is heading our way and he's not alone, because he's got back up yet again. Over and out."
Galvatron and his goons starts firing that caused a massive eruption and damage to Autobot headquarters. "Come out and fight, Autobots!"
"That's right! So, get your cowardly tailpipes out here right now or we'll blast this place to smithereens!" yelled Scourge by firing his deadly arsenal at the Autobot base.
Back inside, Kicker and the others felt the heavy ruckus from the outside as most of them fell onto the floor accidentally. They all got up and headed outside of the Autobot base. So did Optimus and his crew heading in the same direction.
The Decepticons kept on firing at the Autobot base until the corridors were opened as they await their arch-enemies, the Autobots.
"Galvatron, Transform! We meet again, Optimus" grinned Galvatron.
"Likewise, Galvatron" replied Optimus.
Rodimus stepped in and demanded a full explanation. "Galvatron! You better have some explaining to do about your Dark Energon! Now, where did you created it and how? We want the full details!"
Galvatron continued. "Ah, yes. My Dark Energon, indeed. The last time we met, I've only explained half of the information. But, that's not the case. I'll tell you everything about how I've created the Dark Energon. Long ago, Optimus Prime and his brother, Ultra Magnus defeated me in battle. All because of that insignificant Autobot, Fortress Maximus. For decades, I and my men have spent our worthless lives in the Asteroid Prison Colony doing absolutely nothing. That's when I decided to take drastic measures into my own hands: I've taken the liberty of turning against my former adversaries, the Predacons; Gas Skunk, Darkscream and Slapper by terminating their sparks with my own power and then converging them into dark purple energy, along with my stored Red Energon. I've finally escaped from that wretched prison place and then, proceeded to find the other Predacon that was still living on your precious Planet Earth: Sky-Byte. He put up a good fight, but in the end, he also suffered the same fate as the others did. I left Planet Earth afterwards until something un-imaginable had caught my eye. A small remanent of Unicron's power had merged with my dark purple energy and my Red Energon. That's how a new source of Energon had turned into a new breed of power that I'd never thought would ever exist on Planet Cybertron or anywhere else in the entire universe: Dark Energon!"
Everybody felt very shocked to hear Galvatron's startling news about his Dark Energon scheme. Especially for Kicker. His fear had turned into pure anger and his blood begins to rise higher than it was before.
Optimus clenched his fists tightly after what Galvatron had told him about the Dark Energon and his betrayal to the Predacons. "Galvatron! How could you do this? Destroying your own comrades? This is un-acceptable!"
"I beg to differ, Prime. Those foolish Predacons weren't worthy enough to become elite like the Decepticons. How unfortunate for them" laughed Galvatron, along with the Decepticons.
"Cut to the chase, Galvatron! We have some unfinished business with you!" shouted Rodimus in rage.
"Speaking of business, I've got one more surprise for you, Autobots. Come on out, my fellow Dark Energon soldiers" commanded Galvatron as Koji and Misha reappear on his shoulders.
Kicker grunted at their presence. "Is that all you got, Galvatron? What else do you have in store for us? Tell me!"
"Don't be so impatient, Kicker. I do have something else in store for you and your human friends. Bludgeon! Bring in our newest acquisition!" said Galvatron.
"Yes, sir!" saluted Bludgeon by informing Mega-Octane.
When Rad noticed it, he felt something very horrible. "Hey, Kicker. You don't suppose that it's…"
"Don't say it, Rad. I've got a very bad feeling about this" called Kicker.
As Rad and the others begin to conjure their thoughts, the mysterious person came out from Mega-Octane and revealed itself.
When Kicker, Rad and everyone else saw who it is, the looks on everybody's faces were completely frozen. Standing still with a solemn look, dark purple eyes and the Decepticon insignia on its forehead was none other than…
"Alexis!" cried Rad.
Carlos gulped. Sally became frightened. T-Ai gasped in horror.
Optimus and Rodimus can feel their rage building from within them as Galvatron laughed menacingly at his new soldiers.
"Galvatron! This has got to end right here, right now! Release the Dark Energon from them, immediately!"
"And that's final!"
The Decepticon leader gloated. "Tough luck for the both of you, but my answer is still 'no'. Which is why, your human friend, Kicker will have to defeat them from my Dark Energon. That is, if he has the guts to do so."
"Say, what?" cried SnowCat.
"Are you crazy, Galvatron? This is uncalled for! For the last time, let them go and extract the Dark Energon!" demanded Optimus.
"Suit yourself, Prime. That's my only option so far" replied Galvatron with his arms folded.
"Aw, man! This guy makes me want to send in the National Guard" complained Sally.
"I'll say. He doesn't really care" replied Carlos.
"Are you feeling okay, Kicker? You're acting weird" thought Rad, while he raised his eyebrow at him.
Kicker was feeling very infuriated by all of this. "Damn you, Galvatron!" He clenched his fists hard and shut his eyes. "I've heard enough from you!" He felt a strong surge of energy emanating from within his body and roared in frustration. In a rage of pure anger and devastation by seeing his best friend manipulated, both his armor and hair began to glow brightly gold while his eyes were glowing brightly blue.
Everyone from both factions were left completely perplexed of watching Kicker reacting very differently. He kept on summoning his hidden energy from within his body until he's been engulfed by a huge mystified energy and then, it radiated the entire scenery.
As the strange energy was lifted, they were all very surprised to see what has happened to Kicker. The armoured uniform that he originally wore wasn't normal, when he first received it from his father. His armor, gloves, shoes and his whole body suit were all crimson red and his protection pads and his hair were all brightly gold; except that his eyes weren't light brown, instead, they were brightly blue. His entire body was surged with massive crimson red energy as he looks back at Galvatron and the Decepticons, along with the Dark Energon soldiers with a determined look on his face.
"Galvatron, you've messed with the wrong guy and for that, you'll get a glimpse of my newfound strength!" Kicker prepares his attack on the Decepticon leader and his Dark Energon minions as the battle for the freedom of his friends begins.
To Be Continued…
End of Chapter 3
