Plot – When Kicker sees that Galvatron is controlling Misha, a newfound power has awakened from within him and unleashed his latest Energon attack. Also, after seeing Alexis become infected with Dark Energon, Rad feels guilty about not protecting her until something anew comes into play. Then, a new member of the Decepticons has arrived by evening up the odds against Rad and Kicker.

Chapter 4: Kicker's Battle

Everyone was completely amazed at Kicker's startling new armor transformation. Especially for the Decepticons becoming also surprised of this sudden outcome.

Kicker, now in his new crimson red and bright yellow armor turns his head to the Autobots and his friends with his eyes glowing brightly blue and a determined look on his face. "Don't worry about me. I'll bring them back. No matter what happens to me."

Sally came in and starts pleading to her brother. "No, Kicker! Please, don't do it! It's way too dangerous!"

Kicker turned around with a small smile on his face and placed his hands on his sister's shoulders. "Just trust me, Sally. Everything is going to be okay. Oh, and by the way?"

"Yes?"

"You're still a pest." With that, he bolted towards Galvatron's controlled siblings at top speed, while Sally got upset at her brother's insult.

"Oh, yeah? As if!"

Scourge witnessed Kicker's newfound powers and became very astonished. "How can an insolent brat like him contain so much power? It's highly unlikely for a human to awaken that kind of potential."

Galvatron looked on very sternly and sees Kicker approaching straight ahead. "He has awakened his untapped powers from within his body. How interesting. But, I assume that it won't be enough to beat my Dark Energon soldiers." He instructs his Dark Energon minions to attack him. "Koji! Misha! Alexis! I command all of you to destroy him, now!"

They all leaped into action with their fists clenched and pure anger on their faces.

Both of their powers had clashed into one enormous flash. Kicker was already on the attack and begins blocking all of their offense with his defense. First, he aims at Koji by giving him a hard right punch straight to his face and knocking him down on the pavement hard. Second, he grabs Alexis by her shirt and then pounded her in the waist with his right knee and then finishing it with a hard backwards right kick to her chin that sent her reeling and almost right next close to where Koji is. The Decepticons looked on with disappointment on their faces, while the Autobots and everyone else felt completely bewildered. Later, he comes face to face with his own best friend: Misha. The looks on their faces were very serious as they both bolted at the same time and they're both locked into a huge grapple. Their powers were nearly equal, but Kicker's strength was simply overpowering Misha's Dark Energon powers and shoves her down to the ground.

Misha tries punching at Kicker yet again, but he was ready as he parried her attack with a counter-strike punch to her face and again with a swift kick. He then called forth his Energon Sabre as it swoops by his friends and grabs it with one hand and then, clutching it with both hands. Then, his Energon Sabre had turned from brightly gold into crimson red as he charges his special attack on Misha to vanquish the Dark Energon from inside of her.

Bludgeon felt terrified upon seeing Kicker's special power beginning to manifest and quickly informs the Decepticon leader. "Galvatron, sir! I think that we should leave, now. Otherwise, he will destroy all of us!"

"Everyone, fallback!" alerted Galvatron to his Dark Energon soldiers and fellow Decepticons as they all withdraw from the Autobot base. Leaving Misha all by herself with Kicker charging his attack from his Energon Sabre.

"Misha, please forgive me. I'm doing this for you and for myself." After he reflected his thoughts inside his mind, he summons up all of his inner strength from within him and transfers it to his Energon Sabre. He uses it with complete force by lifting it high in the air and unleash his latest special attack with full power sending it straight at her. "Energon Shockwave!"

He let out a strong downward Energon projectile on the ground hard with full strength as it heads straight towards Misha. As it made contact, her body was surging with original Energon from her internal body that was infected with Dark Energon as she screams in agony and pain. After a few minutes, the Decepticon insignia on her forehead had cracked and was immediately shattered. Her eyes that were once dark purple had turned back into her normal crystal blue eyes and collapsed to the ground.

Kicker knew that he had no other choice, but it was his only decision. He drops his Energon Sabre as it returned to its normal state. He closes his eyes, spreads his arms out and shouts 'power down' as his armor had went back to normal and so did his eyes reverting back to original light brown. He later runs towards Misha unconscious on the ground and barely moving. But as he starts running towards her, he felt a faint dark aura coming from inside of her and stopped to see a strange, but weak power that was escaping from Misha's body. It was the remains of the Dark Energon and it became into a single dark purple orb. Everyone began to hold their ground and await for something horrible that might happen.

Just as Kicker was about to strike, the dark purple orb that contained the remnants of the Dark Energon had took off high into the sky and heading east at full capacity until it disappeared, leaving Kicker and the Autobots all alone and confused of what they just saw. "What was that all about?" thought Kicker. As soon as he reached to her side, he dropped to his knees and begins shaking her body, while trying to reopen her eyes. "Misha! Hey, Misha! Misha, wake up! Don't do this to me, Misha! I need you more than ever, because…" During his conversation, soft tears appeared in his eyes and as it streamed down on his cheeks, he unveils his confession to her by wrapping his arms around her body. "…you mean everything to me and that's why, I love you."

Everybody became awfully surprised to hear Kicker's startling confession to Misha. They had no idea that Kicker was hiding his true feelings from Misha throughout his whole life. Most of them hung their heads down in despair; thinking that Misha was annihilated from the attack Kicker had made earlier.

When Kicker thought that he had lost her, he heard a small moan.

"K-Kicker…"

He quickly turned his head to her with his eyes widened in total shock. "Misha?"

She slowly stood up as she opened her normal crystal blue eyes and staring at Kicker looking completely relieved. "Uh…Ah…My…My head's spinning. What happened?"

Kicker made a huge smile on his face and hugged her dearly. "Misha! Thank goodness that you're alright!"

As he released the hug from Misha, she felt very surprised and curious about Kicker's amusement. "Kicker? What's going on? Was I acting different? Please tell me."

"You were acting different, Misha." He narrowed his eyes sternly at her and explained. "Galvatron was controlling you with his Dark Energon and then, he enforced you to fight me like a puppet. Luckily, thanks to my Energon Sabre, you're free from Galvatron's power."

Misha felt very discouraged about hearing from Kicker that she was controlled by Galvatron and tears appeared in her eyes. "I'm so sorry, Kicker. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm so ashamed of myself." She then began to cry.

Kicker stood next to her by clasping his hands with hers. "Don't even think like that, Misha. You can't blame yourself for what happened back there. It was Galvatron that caused all of this."

"You really think so, Kicker? Do you still like me?" sniffed Misha.

Kicker laughed. "Are you kidding? I like you, just the way you are. That's because you're a brilliant and wonderful person. On top of that, I'll always be there for you, no matter what."

Misha became very ecstatic as a soft smile loomed over her pretty face. "Oh, Kicker! Thank you!" She later threw her arms around his neck as she gives him an emotional hug, while Kicker threw his arms around her lower back.

She looked straight into Kicker's eyes as they lean closer and their lips were pressed in a very strong feeling as a single tear strolled down on Misha's cheek.

Everyone cheered in anticipation to see Misha alive and well again.

"Thank the Matrix that she's alright, Optimus. For a moment, she wouldn't have made it" Rodimus mentioned.

Optimus nodded. "You're right about that, Rodimus. With Kicker and his Energon Sabre, we might stand a chance."

"That's true, Optimus. But, let's not forget about Koji and Alexis. They're still under Galvatron's control with Dark Energon. Let's just hope that neither Kicker, nor any of his pals will fall victim to it" explained Ultra Magnus.

"You've made a good observation, Ultra Magnus. Alright, everyone. Let's head inside. As for you, SnowCat and Demolisher, you must stay on guard outside of the Autobot base, along with Quickstrike to ensure that the Decepticons might strike us again. Is that understood?" instructed Rodimus.

"Yes, sir, Rodimus!" shouted SnowCat and Demolisher in unison as they both saluted.

"Okay, then. Now, get to your post!" commanded Rodimus.

Elsewhere, inside Decepticon HQ, Galvatron continued to grunt over his humiliating defeat from Kicker. Not only that, he also lost one of his fellow Dark Energon soldiers, leaving only Koji and Alexis. Just when things weren't going his way, he sensed a faint, but strong dark aura coming at top speed. He later detected that it was the last remnants of the Dark Energon that he used to control Misha.

He caught the dark purple orb with his own bare hands and stored it inside a small capsule, while he begins to ponder his dark thoughts on how his new weapon was immediately disintegrated. "How is this even possible? How can a mere human like him wield such un-imaginable power? I must find a way to use it against him. So, I can regain the proper advantage on the Autobots."

Suddenly, a new voice interrupted Galvatron's concentration. "Pardon me, Galvatron."

"Who dares barge in here without permission? Oh, it's you, Bludgeon. What brings you here? Speak!"

He bows and asked. "My humble apologizes, Galvatron. It appears that this human Kicker possesses such incredible powers that we've never seen before. He even took out one of your Dark Energon warriors with just one swing from his Energon Sabre. Do you have any plans of how we can turn the victory to us?"

"Good question, Bludgeon. I haven't thought about it, just yet. But once I do, I'll report back to you as soon as I can. Is that clear?"

"Confirmed, Galvatron" saluted Bludgeon by leaving Galvatron all alone with the manipulated Koji and Alexis in his throne room, while still holding the remaining Dark Energon in his hands.

"Once I combine all of the Dark Energon together, I will crush that insignificant Kicker like an Insecticon. Cause, the bigger they are, the harder they fall!" Then, he called forth one of his hidden forces. "Obsidian!"

"Yes, Galvatron!"

"I have a job for you."

At the Autobot base, most of the Autobots were doing some physical training, while others are on guard duty and having meetings to discuss about the mysterious Dark Energon. Everyone except for Kicker by staying in his room with his reunited best friend, Misha and taking a well-deserved break. He later tells Misha about the situation, regarding the Dark Energon.

"Listen, Misha. I want to start things off that I'm very happy to see you again" smiled Kicker with a tiny sparkle in his eyes.

"I'm very flattered, Kicker. I'm also surprised to hear of how you feel about me. Now, what was this Dark Energon that you were going to talk about?" asked Misha.

Kicker described to her about Galvatron's new devious weapon. "Okay, I'll explain. The Dark Energon is a lot like normal Energon, except that it's filled with pure hatred and it also has the combined powers of the Predacons and even...Unicron's blood."

Misha froze in horror, while her veins began to run cold like ice. "What?! Kicker…is this true?"

Kicker explained. "Yes, it's true, Misha. But, just try to remain clam, because you weren't the only one who was being manipulated by Galvatron's Dark Energon. It also happened to Koji and Alexis as well."

"So, does this mean that you're…?"

"That's right, Misha. I'm going to free them from the Dark Energon by using my Energon Sabre. I know this will be a very tough and dangerous mission for me, but somehow, Optimus has allowed me to take part in this important task that I must accomplish." He grabbed his Energon Sabre and proceeded to leave his room, but Misha stopped him by clutching his arm.

"Kicker, wait! Please, don't go through with this again."

"I have to, Misha, because it's my new destiny. Besides, what's the point of having my Energon Sabre, if I can't use it to protect the woman that I love?"

She felt moved from his statement. "K-Kicker…"

"I understand how much you really care about me, Misha and I also care about you too. But like I said from before, I'll always be there for you. Okay?"

Misha nodded with a smile. "Always, Kicker."

"Alright, then. Let's get going." After that, they both headed to the Autobot Main Computer System.

Meanwhile, at the top balcony outside of the Autobot base, Rad was in deep thought about Alexis. Alongside with him is Sally, who stood by him after seeing Alexis becoming Galvatron's new Dark Energon soldier.

Rad sighed very deeply. "What am I going to do, Sally? What if, Alexis doesn't return to normal and remembers me after Kicker uses his Energon Sabre on her?"

Sally patted him on the back, very softly. "Relax, Rad. I'm pretty sure that Alexis will remember you."

"Are you really sure about this? I'm doubtful about it. Me and Alexis didn't get along very well in the past and it's still the same, ever since" said Rad sadly.

Sally holds his arm and cuddles him by his shoulder. "Cheer up, Rad. I'm positive that you'll see her soon." She narrowed her eyes at him. "After all, you do like her, right?"

Rad's face turned very red, when he heard Sally's words and became mighty speechless. "Well, that's just great! How will I tell Alexis that I actually have feelings for her, instead of Sally? She might reject me!"

From a short distance away, where Rad and Sally are now standing, Carlos and T-Ai have overheard their conversation. They whispered very quietly to each other about Rad's concern for Alexis.

"Would you look at that? I've never seen Rad react this way before, T-Ai. Any ideas?"

"I'm sorry, Carlos. There's nothing that I can do to help out Rad. The only thing that we can rely on for now is Kicker and his Energon Sabre. Once he frees Alexis and Koji from Galvatron's Dark Energon, we'll be able to find some answers about his latest scheme."

"I hope you're right. If there's one person that we can all depend on, it would definitely be Kicker" said Carlos.

Later on, Kicker and Misha have managed to find the Autobot Main Computer System with Optimus and Rodimus standing next to it.

"Hey, you guys. Any luck of finding the Decepticon base?"

"We've been worried about Alexis and Koji for quite some time now."

"Apparently, we haven't found it just yet" answered Optimus.

"In other words, I have a suspicion that Galvatron might make his next move and when he does, we'll be ready for him" informed Rodimus.

Just then, T-Ai, Carlos, Sally and Rad have also made their way to the Autobot Main Computer System, while they were each catching their breath.

"We came here as fast as we could, Optimus."

"Sorry, that we took so long. We had to enlighten Rad up a bit, since Alexis was taken hostage by Galvatron."

"And yet, he hasn't made up his mind of finding her."

Rad said absolutely nothing with his head down and facial expression was filled with discouragement.

Kicker and Misha both noticed it.

"Look at that, Misha. Rad's never been that upset before."

"You're right, Kicker. It must've been hard for him to see Alexis get abducted by Galvatron and then, brainwashed."

Optimus looked down on Rad and replied. "Listen, Rad. I understand your concern for Alexis. We'll do whatever we can to rescue her from Galvatron, along with Koji. I assure you this, Rad. You have my trust."

Rad lifted his head up and looked at Optimus with a faint smile on his face. "Thanks, Optimus."

"He's got a point there, pal. You shouldn't worry about that girl as much as you worry about yourself."

Rad responded. "Oh? Just how Magnus and why?"

"Let's set the record straight: You need to stand up and fight for what you believe is right. If I were a human like yourself, I'd suggest that you should loosen up and be just like Kicker, who doesn't back down from anything" said Magnus.

He looked amazingly surprised as he stared at Kicker, nodding at Magnus' suggestion in agreement and smiling back at him. He also smiled and his eyes have now brightened up. "I…I don't know what to say. If there's anything that I can do, I'd be more than willing to help Kicker fight and beat the Decepticons."

"That's quite impressive, Rad. But, you've seem to be missing something that Kicker has." says Dr. Jones holding a briefcase in his hands. "Hey there, son. It's been awhile. How are you and your girlfriend been doing?"

Kicker's cheeks turned red. "F-Fine, Dad. So, what are you up to this time?"

He replied. "I'm here to assist Rad by giving him a new battle armor uniform that's inside this briefcase."

Rad stood there surprised. "What? Really? How did you know about this?"

"I've discovered the situation, when Rodimus contacted me. After he told me about this Dark Energon and Alexis being manipulated by it, I've decided to make another battle armor suit for you. Just like, when I've made it for my son against Unicron."

"Are you serious, Dad? You're giving him a new uniform?" asked Kicker in amazement.

"That's correct, son. But needless to say, it would be a great opportunity for you to have yourself a new partner" said Dr. Jones.

"Kicker, do you realize what this means? You and Rad get to be partners and bring back Koji and Alexis from Galvatron. But, remember this; please be very careful out there. Because, you mean everything to me and my life would be empty without you" explained Misha.

Kicker countered. "Misha, you almost said the exact same words that I spoke about you. Cheer up, okay?" He concluded his sentence by planting a kiss on Misha's cheek and it turned slightly red.

"Well, Rad; do you think you're willing to wear this outfit so you can save Alexis?" asked Dr. Jones politely.

"Absolutely, Dr. Jones. As a matter of fact, I'm going to put it on right now" said Rad by taking the uniform from the briefcase and heads down to the medical room to change his clothes. After several minutes, he comes back with a new look and shows it to everyone with enthusiasm about his new Autobot uniform that he's now wearing. "So, what do you think?"

Sally gives Rad the thumbs-up and then, winked at him. "You look awesome, Rad! I hope you don't end up like my brother."

Rad felt embarrassed by Sally's response and sweat dropped. "Oh, brother. It's times like this that I need a time-out."

"Relax, Rad. You'll get used to it. I'm pretty sure that you'll both do just fine" said Dr. Jones.

"He's got a point there, dude. You've got to prove it to yourself" said Carlos.

"Make sure that you don't run into any trouble, Rad. Otherwise, the Decepticons would use our advantage against us. So, remember that from now on" reminded T-Ai.

"Thanks, you guys. I'll do my best."

"Hey, Rad. I guess this means that we're partners, now. Care to shake on it?" Kicker offered Rad his handshake.

"Sure, Kicker. I wouldn't mind that" smiled Rad and shook his hand. But as he did, he felt a strong surge of energy coming from Kicker's hand as it's being transferred into Rad's body. When he feels the pressure being drawn inside of him, he starts grunting throughout this bizarre process. He tries to release his hand from Kicker's, but his grip is stuck hard. There was a great big blue flash that lit up the Autobot base and it nearly radiated everyone.

As the light was lifted and everyone being able to reopen their eyes, they all stood in complete surprise of what they've just witnessed: Rad is now glowing in his newly transformed crimson blue armor outfit. His body suit, gloves, shoes and even his armor were all crimson blue. Also, his protection pads and hair were all silvery white and his eyes were glowing brightly gold, almost similar to Kicker's armor transformation.

Rad speaks to Kicker about his startling new powers. "Thank you, Kicker. Now, let's go kick some Decepticon butt!"

Even though Kicker felt very shocked, he became amused to Rad's response. "I never thought that you would say that. Well, here goes nothing! Kicker, Transform!" He roared into anticipation as he summoned up his energy from within himself and transformed into his crimson red uniform stature.

They both nodded their heads to each other as they shouted altogether: "Let's roll!" and soared high into the air on the Energon Sabre by heading straight outside at an alarming speed.

Everybody was left surprised regarding Kicker and Rad's newfound partnership.

Except for Dr. Jones and Misha exchanging their words for Kicker's safety.

"Good luck out there!"

"Kicker..."

"Magnus. Go after them. Just in case, if something happens to either one of them" reported Optimus.

"Yes, sir!" nodded Magnus by leaving the Autobot base and catching up to the brave duo.

At Decepticon HQ, some of the Decepticons were infuriated of the message that was brought from Galvatron to Obsidian.

"Galvatron said to do what, Obsidian?" angered Scourge.

"Give us an explanation or we'll tear you to pieces!" demanded Mega-Octane.

"Okay, settle down, you two! I'll tell you both about something very important of what Galvatron is planning. The reason why he's creating more Dark Energon is because he's resurrecting an old Decepticon warrior" explained Obsidian.

"And that would be my personal comrade" snarled a sinister voice.

"Who goes there? Show yourself!" shouted Mega-Octane.

The mysterious Decepticon revealed himself next to Obsidian. "I am Magnificus, former Military Consul for the Decepticon domain of Mebion. I've come here for one purpose and that's to revive my comrade Decepticon, Ga'Mede. A former member of the royal family of Xeptos."

"So, where's he hiding at?" asked Scourge.

"He's in here" answered Magnificus by showing everyone a black metal capsule with a small window in the middle.

"Even though that he's a member of the Decepticons, he's still human" said Obsidian.

"Well, that's fairly new" grumbled Mega-Octane.

"No kidding. All that Ga'Mede needs is to feed off Dark Energon from those foolish humans that's inside of them. Once I give him the signal, it will not only drain the Dark Energon, but also their memories as well. Giving him enough power to annihilate our powerful adversaries" instructed Magnificus.

"I can't wait to see the looks on their faces, when they see our newest recruit" laughed Scourge.

"Don't forget to bring my precious playmates for the ride, Scourge" says a new voice.

"Galvatron!"

The menacing Decepticon leader gloats at his army. Beside him are his two Dark Energon soldiers, Koji and Alexis, still remaining silent since being consumed by Galvatron's Dark Energon.

"Precisely, Scourge. Take them with you so that Ga'Mede can rise again. Is that clear?" roared Galvatron.

"Absolutely, Galvatron" bowed Scourge.

"We will do as you're told, sir!" replied Mega-Octane.

"Very good. Now, take my minions with you and if you see any of Prime's pathetic little rodents, make sure that you let them strike first, so that you can counter back at them" told Galvatron.

"Yes, sir!" said Magnificus.

"Come on, boys. Let's show those pesky humans, what we are really made of!" yelled Obsidian as he and the rest of the Decepticons take Koji and Alexis, while departing from the Decepticon base and begin searching for Rad and Kicker.

"This is perfect. Everything is all going according to plan" laughed Galvatron with his arms folded.

High above the sky are Kicker and Rad in their newly transformed armor uniforms as they soar through the skies by riding on the Energon Sabre. They've been searching for the Decepticons, but with no luck and so, they've kept on browsing.

Kicker then notices a few familiar objects from down below on the bridge. "Rad! I can see the Decepticons from down there! Let's do this!"

"You don't have to tell me twice, Kicker."

On the bridge below, Scourge, Magnificus and Mega-Octane were on the lookout for the two humans on the ground, while Obsidian kept his view from above.

At last, Magnificus spots two suspicious beings descending from the sky and coming towards straight at them. "Enemies sighted! Stop right here!"

They all stopped from the view point to where Kicker and Rad are headed. They see them coming down as both Rad and Kicker have landed safely and almost right in-front of them with pure anger in their eyes.

"So, you have finally come, you miserable brats! Scourge, Transform!"

"Mega-Octane, Transform!"

"Obsidian, Transform!"

"Magnificus, Transform!"

"Enough talk, already! Bring our friends back, this instant!" demanded Kicker.

"You want them? Here they are!" said Mega-Octane by pointing to them, where Koji and Alexis are now standing.

Rad became very enraged seeing his good friend, Alexis being controlled by Galvatron. "You're going to pay for what you did to Alexis!" He turned to her and called out a strong message by trying to snap out of her trance. "Please, Alexis! Listen to me! You've got to break free from Galvatron or else, I won't be able to tell how much I care about you!"

Much to his chagrin, however, she didn't respond to him and remains completely silent with a cold look on her pretty face, along with the Decepticon insignia on her forehead and dark purple eyes glowing.

"Nice try, you helpless fool! She can't hear you, right now. But, if you're still willing to reach her, come and take your best shot. If you dare," glared Magnificus.

"If you want me to step inside your little trap, you can forget it!" shouted Rad.

"That goes for me as well, you big old rust-bucket!" Kicker said to Magnificus.

"Then, you leave me and the Decepticons no other choice but to send in the heavy artillery. Scourge! Mega-Octane! Bring in our secret weapon!"

They all brought out a solid black metal cabinet with a window in the middle as the Decepticons come to a full stop, just only a few feet away from Kicker and Rad.

Magnificus informs the two humans. "Take a good glimpse at our latest weapon yet, humans. In only a few minutes, my personal comrade, Ga'Mede will stomp you like a bunch of cockroaches! So, any last words before I awaken my sleeping solider?"

"Yeah, just who is Ga'Mede?" asked Rad.

"Stop stalling already, Magnificus! Whoever this guy is, we're not afraid of him one bit!" said Kicker.

"I wouldn't be too sure if I were you, human. But since both of you have come this far, your fate has already been sealed" sneered Magnificus by pressing the 'open' button on the solid black metal cabinet and it begins to unlock some steam coming out.

As the door opened, a strange looking figure appeared out of the black metal cabinet, wearing a dark purple cloak as it proceeds towards Kicker and Rad, while Koji and Alexis remained behind with the Decepticons. The unknown stranger stopped right before Kicker and Rad are. It gave him a devilish idea, when he made an evil grin. "Magnificus, bring those two humans to me at once. So, I can complete Galvatron's plan."

"Affirmative. Okay, you two. Get going!" notified Magnificus to Koji and Alexis by nodding their heads in agreement and walked towards the mysterious figure. Finally, they ceased at the same spot to were Magnificus's partner is.

Kicker and Rad were on one side of the bridge, while Koji, Alexis and the unknown figure including the Decepticons were on the opposite end.

There was a brief silence with the Decepticons looking on and await for the right moment.

The dark figure smiled evilly by placing his hands on Koji and Alexis's heads and shouted out loud these words without warning: "Dark Energon...Drain Transfer!"

Both Kicker and Rad were shocked and as an odd result, their armor transformations had returned back to normal, while they watch helplessly as the mysterious dark figure starts draining all of the Dark Energon from Koji and Alexis's internal bodies as they both screamed loudly. The Dark Energon starts to build up inside the dark figure's body and as it begins to glow brightly purple, his dark purple cloak had come off and blinded Kicker and Rad.

Kicker and Rad had already shielded their eyes, when the purple light shined on them. When it faded away and reopening them, the looks on their faces turned into complete horror as they see both Koji and Alexis on the ground unconscious without the Decepticon insignia on their foreheads.

Suddenly, the mysterious figure had finally unveiled himself. He has silver hair, a dark blue uniform with a Decepticon insignia on both shoulders, two yellow equal signs on his chest, a light red V symbol that covered on his collarbone, a light red zigzag from lower to upper torso, silver protection pads, dark red elbow pads and knee pads, gray gloves, silver shoes and dark red eyes. "The power of the Dark Energon flows through me as it never did before! I shall enjoy destroying you both!"

Kicker and Rad immediately changed their expressions from fear into fearless as they clenched their fists very tightly and grunted at their newest foe with courage and determination on their faces.

"You must be, Ga'Mede, I presume. I'll make you pay for what you've done to Koji and Misha!" growled Kicker.

"That's right, you freak! The same thing goes for Alexis as well! So, come on!" yelled Rad.

Ga'Mede laughed. "Don't be so sure of yourselves, you morons! You will be the first victims to feel my newfound powers and once I destroy the both of you, nothing will stand in the Decepticon's way, ever again!"

Kicker and Rad's newfound battle against this dastardly foe is now underway.

To Be Continued…

End of Chapter 4
