Plot – The Autobots discuss about Ga'Mede, his partner, Magnificus and Cryotek's allegiance to Galvatron. Plus, Misha's childhood is finally revealed, along with Rad's and why he's been carrying Alexis's repaired Cybertronian locket with him. In the downtown area, Kicker and his friends are out on their dates, while Galvatron and Cryotek continue to pursue Fortress Maximus and Koji once more.
Chapter 12: Disclosure
Kicker was left confused as to what his Dad is saying to him after he looked at Misha's sad complexion. "I don't get it, Dad. What do you know of Misha's childhood?"
"I've known her longer, before you two first met as kids. However, she carries the same problem that you once had. Do you remember the time, when you were a child and drifted off into space all by yourself?"
He recalls that tragic incident, during his younger days. "I…I have. Why?"
"Out with it, Dr. Jones. Just tell us." As Rad was eager to hear his explanation, a strange green-looking object was hanging around his neck and it was swinging around back and forth.
Alexis notices that familiar item and became awfully surprised. "Rad, that's…"
"Yes, it is. It's your old Cybertronian locket." Rad shows Alexis the item that originally belonged to her, during the Mini-Con wars. But when she took a closer look at it, the Cybertronian rock that originally had a crack on it wasn't there anymore.
"It's…It's been repaired. Rad, did you kept this from me?"
He continued. "Yes. I kept it, when the Energon wars with Unicron was over and the black hole sealed away. That is, until I had a re-curing nightmare and met someone you once knew, when Unicron first appeared."
"To whom did you see in your dream, Rad?" she asked him.
By hanging his head down and exhaled, he replied in a frustrating tone. "Starscream."
Alexis gasped in total shock. So did Carlos, Billy, Fred and even Kicker along with Rodimus and the Autobots. "That's impossible! He's gone! How were you able to see him?"
"We can only see people like him in our dreams." He then continued. "In fact, there's more to it than that."
(Begin Flash Back in Rad's Daydream)
Rad: "I don't understand, Starscream. Why is it that you want me to look after Alexis?"
Starscream: "Because, you're the one that has known her since the Mini-Cons were around. If you can't help her, then who else will?"
Rad: "You're right. I guess, I should keep a close eye on her. But the problem is, we usually get into each other's faces and then, we..."
Starscream: "Enough, already! You do realize that fighting doesn't always solve everything. Needless to say, it hurts like hell."
Rad: "So, is that the reason why I have to remain close with her, while I wear her old Cybertronian locket?"
Starscream: "Absolutely."
Rad: "Just great."
(End of Flash Back in Rad's Daydream)
Although she understood his scenario, she wanted to know more details. "I still don't understand as to why you've been carrying it with you."
He explained his reason. "When I saw that you were captured by Obsidian and then getting brainwashed by Galvatron's Dark Energon, I felt helpless. So, I had a choice to make: whether to join Kicker and the Autobots or to feel sorry for myself. If it wasn't for me looking after this locket since the Energon wars with Unicron and the black hole incident, I wouldn't be in this position right now."
Alexis felt very touched from hearing Rad's explanation. "R-Rad…"
"Dude, since when are you into Alexis? Is it because of that locket you're holding?" Carlos insisted.
He shouts back at him. "Well, of course, it is! I didn't know what to do. That I would let Galvatron manipulate her with Dark Energon or I would stand up to him by protecting her."
Once he was done explaining about why he decided to join up with Kicker and protect her after meeting with Starscream in his daydream, Alexis became very happy and tears of joy appeared in her eyes and it streamed down from her face while her eyes had a small sparkle in it. As she approached to him, she threw her arms around his neck in a warm embrace. "Thank you, Rad."
"Huh? What are you thanking me for, Alexis?"
"For believing in me."
Billy, Fred, Sally and Carlos were somewhat amazed that the bond between Rad and Alexis is beginning to grow slowly.
"I don't think that I ever recall seeing her look this happy."
"Yeah. Especially, since he got suited up into that crimson outfit."
"It was all because he shook my brother's hand and that's when he received the same armor transformation like him. At least, both him and Koji can't sense Energon."
"That's a relief."
While Rad and Alexis were embracing, Dr. Jones cleared his throat and confronted them. "If you're both done talking, I need to tell my son about Misha's past."
"Oh, right. Sorry, Dr. Jones."
"Me too. But, what was her childhood like from back then?"
He pressed forward with his answer. "This will be a complete shock. Back when she was just a child, she had a strong relationship with her parents. Then one day, a very tragic event had occurred just a few months after the Christmas holidays." He turned to Kicker and laid out the startling news. "Misha's parents were…killed in a car accident."
Kicker's eyes were frozen in fear. He couldn't believe that his best friend had lost something important in her early life: Her parents. "Dad…Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"I was afraid that she would have difficulty living on her own. So, she turned to me as her mentor by learning about Energon and also thanked me for being a father figure to her. Her parents would've approved. But truth be told, it's quite clear to me that she has the same fear, when you've had it back in outer space."
"You…You mean…" As Kicker was left stammering to answer, Dr. Jones replied.
"That's right, son. She also has a fear of…being lonely."
After listening to his father revealing Misha's dreadful childhood, Kicker hung his head down with regret and placed his hands on them while his eyes grew in astonishment. "Why? Why didn't she tell me that her parents are gone? Now I understand, why she keeps worrying about me. She doesn't want to be alone as much as I do."
"Are you feeling okay, Kicker? You look very surprised."
He slowly looked up and replied back. "So, that's how it was. How sad. It's no wonder that she's the source of my special strength."
Dr. Jones blinked his eyes in bewilderment. "Eh? What are you saying, son?"
He made a small laugh and answered. "What I mean is, she's my strength to attain this armor transformation. Of course, without her, I'd be powerless against the Decepticons."
"Good point there, Kicker. I've had that experience before, when I was thinking about Alexis after Galvatron possessed her with Dark Energon" Rad explained.
"Same with me. Except that I was remembering about my past life with my father; along with Galvatron using me as a puppet to hurt T-Ai. As funny as it may sound, but it looks as though that fate has brought us here" told Koji.
"Nice theory. Although, I still can't help but wonder as to why both Magnificus and his partner, Ga'Mede be working for Galvatron and Cryotek when they're actually traitors" Rodimus mentioned.
"You mean that they've been betrayed by the Decepticons? Why would they pledge their allegiance to them?" urged Rad.
The red-flamed Autobot, continued. "The most logical assumption is from what happened to Ga'Mede. He was the son of the royal house, back on the Planet Xeptos in the sub-atomic Micro-verse. He was going to be executed in a power struggle during a family dispute, until an exiled Decepticon named Magnificus, peered into the Micro-verse, witnessed the act of betrayal and quickly rescued him. Afterwards, he became extremely devoted to Magnificus for saving his life and almost became a father-figure to him. Therefore, they're sworn to carry out their revenge against the Decepticons that have betrayed them. However, by the time they've reached their prey, Ga'Mede got himself get caught up in an explosion and was nearly killed thereafter. Magnificus himself, did everything he could to save him. Just when he believed, that he lost him, a Decepticon came in and made him an offer that he couldn't refuse: Galvatron. Instead of saying 'no', he agreed to side with him and would gladly repair his partner, Ga'Mede, in return. But at the cost of his own life, he replaced part of his limbs with mechanical arms and legs in order to avoid certain death."
"Talk about having a tough life by making a difficult decision; whether to offer someone's assistance or to just let him be. Looks as if, Magnificus had no other choice but to save his colleague" Magnus stated.
"I don't know about you, but I'm sensing that they may try to double-cross them once they're distracted" Optimus suggested.
"Does this mean that they're posing as double agents and uncover their true intentions?" Koji asked T-Ai.
"It's possible. Though, I can't say for sure if they're actually working or against him."
Kicker interrupted. "Hey, listen. I appreciate your information about our new enemies, but I really need some alone time with Misha." As he looks at her miserable expression, he informs them. "Because, I need to further explain to her about how I've achieved this new strength of mine." After that, he takes Misha by the hand and walks straight out of the Main Computer System. Thus, leaving everybody in the base awestruck.
"You know what? I think, my brother really has changed" says Sally.
"No kidding. He wasn't like this, since he developed the ability to sense Energon whenever his hair turns brightly gold" added Dr. Jones.
"Wait. You told us about that earlier. What do you mean that he can sense Energon?" notified Karl.
"He's right. When did this occur?" questioned Jenny.
Dr. Jones responded. "It all began, when me and my son first arrived on Planet Cybertron with Rad, Carlos and Alexis. Long before the Energon wars against Unicron had started; he had numerous phobias, back from when he was a small child. For example, he was utterly scared of seeing the Autobots in-person and being left alone and confined. During his time with Optimus, he ran away from him until he fell into a crater and that's when Primus appeared and caught him. Amazed that my son had discovered him, he gave him the ability to sense Energon whenever his hair turns brightly gold. Even though that I've mistreated him as a tool to find various amounts of Energon, it also enabled him to help Optimus and the Autobots to defeat Unicron. That's when a decade later, Primus's sun collapsed and a black hole was formed."
"Cool! So, that's what made him a great member to them" says Koji.
"We know what you mean, Koji. It's fairly rare for him to get involved in a situation that we're in."
"I understand your information, pretty clear, Dr. Jones. But right now, we need to focus on the battle at hand. If the alliance of Galvatron and Cryotek will progress at this rate, then the Earth, Cybertron and even the entire universe will be in serious jeopardy" said Optimus.
"Then, let's get to work" Rodimus advised.
Back inside Kicker's room, Kicker starts talking to Misha about his Dad revealing her dark past and carrying the same type of fear: Loneliness.
"Misha, how come you never told me about your late parents? Is it because you were keeping a secret from me?"
She replied to him. "I…I wasn't. I was afraid that if I acted like your father, no one would accept me as a friend. Even if it was you."
Kicker felt astonished upon hearing those words from her. "M-Misha…"
"But, what exactly do you mean that I'm the source of your special strength, Kicker?"
By scratching his head, he replies. "Let's just say, it was the strength of…my love to you."
Misha's eyes were glistening very brightly, while a huge smile lit up her pretty face. "Oh, Kicker."
He then clasped his hands with hers and leans closer to her. "Misha, back when you were being controlled by Galvatron and the Dark Energon, I've finally managed to say this to you after all this time. I…I…"
Just as he was finally able to confess his feelings towards her, the alarm had gone off and it interrupted his special moment with her. "Aw, man! Just when I was getting to the good part, this comes up. I guess, I'll have to do this another time."
"It's okay. I can wait." After their brief discussion, they headed back to the Main Computer System, where Optimus and his crew are about to explain the full details.
"We've just picked up an odd occurrence down in New York City. I can only assume that either they're after Fortress Maximus and Koji or perhaps something else."
"Whatever they're up to, we'll be ready for them."
"Hold on, Magnus. They may not be looking for Fortress Maximus quite yet. They're probably trying to recapture and infect them once more with Neo-Dark Energon" informed Rodimus.
"We'll have to be on-guard in order to prevent this from happening. But first, I'm granting Koji, Kicker and Rad the day-off."
"Why is that, Optimus?" urged Kicker.
"He doesn't want us to get seriously injured. Either way, we could end up getting consumed once again. So, it's better to take a breather or two" Koji insisted.
"Good point. Can you please tell us why they're after you other than just Fortress Maximus?" Rad asked.
"For now, I don't have a slightest clue and it's much worse after I lost my father" he said sadly.
Not only were Kicker and Rad felt very surprised of Koji losing his parent, so was Alexis.
She noticed Koji's sad complexion and felt terrible for him. "Koji."
"I understand. But for right now, we need to think things through by learning about this new Decepticon allegiance." Dr. Jones replied. "That way, we will be one step closer to defeating them." He turned his attention to his son. "So, Kicker. Since Optimus has given you, Rad and Koji some time-off, have you thought of where you'll be taking Misha out?"
His face was slightly red. "W-Well, not exactly."
When T-Ai heard about them going out, she responded. "If they're going, than so is me and Koji."
"Eh? At a time like this?"
"Sure, why not, Koji? It'll be nice to have a short break after we've been through some heavy traffic along the way" said Rad. That's when he felt Alexis clasping her hand onto his and as he turns around in surprise, she made a small smile.
"Not only are they going out, but so are we, Rad."
"Huh? What's come over with you, Alexis? Why are you being so friendly to me? Is it because of my sudden actions towards Ga'Mede and Galvatron?"
She retorted by wrapping his arm. "You could say that."
"Great. Now, how are we supposed to stop Galvatron and Cryotek without their help?" complained Sally.
"We'll just have to rely on our own surveillance methods. Sideburn, we want you and your brothers to look after them; while we come up with a strategy" told Rodimus.
"Right. It'll be a blast."
"Oh, boy. I don't like this" moaned Prowl.
"But, what choice do we have? If they don't have us around, they'll be squashed like a June bug in July" X-Brawn suggested.
"Now that they'll be busy with their triple date, let's take care of those Decepti-jerks!" says Magnus by going into the Space Bridge.
"Yeah! Let's do this!" added Nightcruz following him.
As Koji, Rad and Kicker watches them go through the Space Bridge and hearing Magnus' annoying comment, they replied at one word at a time in sheer disgust.
"A…"
"Triple…"
"Date?"
When they were finished, they all groaned together and hung their heads down in embarrassment.
As for T-Ai, Alexis and Misha, they all giggled with laughter after seeing their boys become a bit unsatisfied with this ordeal.
In the meantime, Galvatron, Cryotek and the rest of their minions are beginning to wreak havoc upon this very city by continuing to search for Fortress Maximus.
"Curses! We've looked everywhere and still no sign of Fortress Maximus! If I were Optimus, where would he hide it?"
"Have you ever tried going underwater? Maybe, that's where we'll find him."
"Good idea, Cryotek. Now, let's continue on with the search."
With the Decepticons fairly busy of locating Fortress Maximus, Sideburn, X-Brawn and Prowl are now assigned of looking after Koji, Rad and Kicker's dates with their girlfriends.
For Prowl, he's driving with Koji and T-Ai; while X-Brawn is driving with Kicker and Rad. As for Sideburn, he gets to drive with Misha and Alexis. After a couple of hours, they've arrived at a very tall building.
Prowl drove in first and shifted into park. That allowed Koji and T-Ai to step out of the car and stood by as they await Sideburn and X-Brawn with their escorts. Koji's wearing a stylish black tuxedo with black dress pants and shoes. Whereas T-Ai, she wore her normal clothing from when she first started working as a computer on Planet Cybertron and later met him on Earth.
"Are you excited, T-Ai?"
"I sure am, Koji."
A few minutes later, X-Brawn and Sideburn had pulled up and also shifted into park as well. First, Kicker and Rad got out of X-Brawn's car and joined up with Koji and T-Ai. They too were also wearing black tuxes. And last but certainly not least, Sideburn managing to catch-up with his fellow Autobot brothers. The door was opened and out came Misha and Alexis.
They were both dressed up very elegant and wonderful. Misha is wearing a stylish yellow prom dress that covered all the way down to her legs with pure white long leather gloves and white low-heel shoes. As for Alexis, she's wearing a red strapless dress and blue hi-heel shoes while wearing a light purple turncoat.
Kicker and Rad were left completely stunned of their stylish appearances.
"Wow. Misha…you look…beautiful."
"Yeah. Same goes with you, Alexis."
Both girls made a small laugh to themselves about their opinion of how they look for tonight.
"Thank you. You look great too, Kicker."
"Don't forget about Rad. He also looks great. So, this is where our triple date is at."
Koji grunted. "Hey! It's not a triple date! We're just here for the occasion. And by the looks of this place, it's said to be one of the tallest buildings in the world."
"Really? Awesome. Just how many floors are there?" inquired Rad.
Sideburn exclaimed. "I've heard that it's approximately seventy-three floors."
"Seventy-three floors? Which one is the dance floor?" cried Kicker.
X-Brawn answered. "It's supposed to be on the thirtieth floor."
"Then, what are we standing around here for? Let's go!" says a cheerful T-Ai, while dragging Koji by the arm and into the big building.
"Somehow, things are looking up for Koji and T-Ai" says Rad. While he was mentioning the way that things are going swell for them, Alexis clutched his arm and leans over him.
"And so are we, Rad." She then rested her head against his shoulders.
He felt very bewildered of how different Alexis has become over him lately. "What have I got myself into?" he thought to himself, while rolling his eyes and shaking his head in disbelief.
"Is it just me or is Rad in over his head with Alexis?" Kicker asks.
"It might have to do with that Cybertronian locket he's been carrying. Maybe, that's why she's drawn to him" Misha explained to him.
"Apart from his daydream by having a chat with Starscream, I'm still very startled after what my Dad told me about your childhood."
"I deeply understand how you feel about me, Kicker. But, can we please go inside?" she pleaded to him.
"Of course and I apologize." He takes her by the hand and smiles back at her. "Let's have some fun."
After Kicker and Misha head inside the building, Rad and Alexis were the only ones left outside. This gave them some time to think over about their first outing together, along with a few other things.
"Alexis, Do I still feel like an oddball to you? Especially, when the Mini-Cons were here, then Unicron showing up and the black hole incident before it was sealed away?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Rad. And another thing, you haven't been making any business with Sally, are you?" As she twitched her eyebrow, she glares at him.
"Her? Forget it! I don't want to replace you with her. Besides, she has more annoyance than from what you once had. In fact, you're more talented than she is." He folded his arms and turned away from her.
Alexis felt very flattered of his response about the difference between herself and Sally. "R-Rad. Thank you." She then threw her arms around his lower back and gracefully hugged him.
And again, he feels very irritated. "I had to open my big mouth. Didn't I?"
After a short while, they've reached to the elevator, pressed the button that said '30' on it and it leads them to the dance floor. During their ascending, Rad tries to share his thoughts with Alexis once more but with more personal information.
"Hey, Alexis."
"Yes?"
"I…I owe you an apology."
She blinked her eyes in confusion. "Why do you want to apologize me, Rad? And for what?"
He retorted. "For not being careful and more importantly, kept on acting like the same old jerk when the Mini-Cons were around until Unicron arrived. I mean, after everything that's happened, how can I be more responsible, if I can't have someone as unique like yourself to show me the ropes?"
From there, Alexis's cheeks were tinted red until it immediately faded by Rad pressing forward.
"However…It's almost clear to me that even if I offer you to help me, you obviously wouldn't have the attention of doing so, since you prefer to be with no one."
That next comment made her feel very upset and shocked about being with someone, but instead to live on their own. Along the way, they've almost reached the thirtieth floor and he continued on.
"You and Kicker are similar, but different. Despite that he can take care of himself and the problems that he's endured, he still cares about his family. Unlike you, for instance, you only cared about yourself and being too focused in your occupation."
When Rad told her about why she was very strict and unreliable, a river of tears filled up her eyes and her expression was very shallow. As she begins to cry over her emotions, she countered. "S-So, that's how it is. Isn't it? I can't believe that you've found me out." After she wiped her tears from her eyes, she turned to Rad and replied. "But please tell me, Rad. Why are you being so hard on me?"
By looking down at his feet and then staring at the window in the glass elevator of the city below, he turned back to her and answered. "I just want to…show you of how much, I care about you. Seriously, Alexis. I'm trying to be honest with you. If you only resort to yourself besides me, who will you look up to in the future?"
"It's…It's hard to say, Rad" she said.
After awhile, they've made it to their destination, where Kicker and his friends are. There were some numerous decorative tables and chairs, refreshments and many other guests who have also attended.
Rad offered Alexis to dance with him and join in with everyone. At first glance, she felt shy and depressed after his harsh conversation about her. But as she gazed at his friendly smile and witnessing his armor transformation, she returned back with a smile of her own and reached out her hand for him to clasp onto it. Afterwards, they head on over to the dance floor and started dancing together. As of right now, they're already on the dance floor doing some ballroom dancing and also some slow dancing.
Outside of the tall structure building itself, the Autobot brothers, Sideburn, Prowl and X-Brawn have been sitting at the same parking lot for nearly more than an hour.
"Oh, boy. I'm so bored. Any word from Optimus yet?"
"Not exactly. We've been given the task of looking after Kicker, Rad and Koji's dates. If we leave them be, there could be serious trouble."
"You may be right, my brother. If either one of them are un-guarded, than who knows what might happen to them. Which reminds me, Sideburn, how come you're not chasing any little red sports cars?"
The bluish-car Autobot answered. "I had a bit of a special tune-up to further the enhancement of my upgrade. When that happened, I can no longer chase anymore red sports cars. The same thing goes for Skid-Z. He can't participate in anymore races from here or anywhere else."
X-Brawn and Prowl couldn't believe their optic sensors. They weren't aware that their brother, Sideburn no longer has the ability to do his favorite kind of activity that he used to enjoy: chase little red sports cars. That includes Skid-Z not wanting to participate in any race that he pursues.
"Great horny-toads!"
"No way!"
"Yes. As a matter of fact, way."
At the outskirts of New York City, the Decepticons have come across the Pacific Ocean and may have found of what they've been looking for: Fortress Maximus.
"Are you sure that he's hidden down there, Cryotek?"
"Affirmative, Galvatron. The readouts show that he's in stasis mode for the time being and he's deep underwater. If we get close by, then we'd be struck by his defensive shield. What's worse is that someone would have to reawaken him from his bio-signature command block."
"And, I presume it would be that human Koji."
Cryotek replied. "You know your motives pretty well, Galvatron. Now that we've found him, all that's left is the human itself. The question is, where is he?"
While both leaders are struggling to find their prey, Ga'Mede and Magnificus have recently begun searching throughout every area of the city for him.
"Well, any luck of finding that brat?" he hissed.
"Be patient, my loyal friend." By looking into his monitor, he begins finding that individual. After looking through numerous buildings and streets, he came up to find a very tall structure building and it stands approximately one thousand and eighteen feet. He then looked into his visual mode and investigated the scenery. Then, he recognizes someone at one of the floors that he's on and quickly informed everyone about his recent discovery. "Galvatron! Cryotek! I bring you some good news! I've found him!"
"Excellent. Where do you see him?"
"Tell us and we'll be on our way to greet that human."
He replied to them. "From what I can tell is that he's heavily aboard the thirtieth floor from that tower over there." He points to them a very tall structure that he saw. "There's more. He's also got his friends with him and among those people are the other humans known as Kicker and Rad. It looks like, we're going in."
"And by going in, we shall. Decepticons! March forth to that tower!"
With that, the whole fleet begins to head straight to their prime target and by capturing their prey to activate Fortress Maximus: Koji. But as they were about to depart, they were interrupted by a familiar voice that called out to them from behind.
"Not so fast, Galvatron! You're not going anywhere!"
"Curses! It's Optimus Prime and the Autobots! Galvatron, you take Ga'Mede and head on over to that tower while me and the rest of us mangle them up, one by one. How does that sound to you?" Cryotek requested, while he and his fleet tackle against the Autobots.
"Sounds good. Ga'Mede! Come forward!"
"You wanted me? Here I am. What are your orders, sir?"
"We're going to crash into the tower and you're coming along for the ride."
As he looks back to see his partner, Magnificus, dealing with some of the Autobots, he admits. "Alright, then. Take me to them."
Meanwhile, back at the tower itself, Kicker and everyone else are still enjoying themselves on the dance floor with their dates.
During the dance, Alexis starts commenting on Rad for his newfound role. "Rad, you can't imagine of how proud I am seeing you standing alongside Kicker, Koji and the Autobots." She later rested her head against his chest and feels his heartbeat. "I'm really glad to have someone like you."
"Hey, thanks. For once, I'm already starting to like you, Alexis. Although, it's my purpose to make sure that nothing happens to you. I swear it." he said.
Kicker and Misha were busy with some mixed ballroom and slow dancing skills have noticed and overheard their conversation between them.
"I never would've thought that he's actually caring about her, instead of Sally. Is it possible that he has feelings for her all along? Just like me and you, Misha?"
"Even though that I've known him for awhile, there could be a slight possibility. And as for you, Kicker, I'm truly grateful of being here with you." She later nestled her head against his shoulder, while he strokes her long brown hair with a small smile on his face.
As for Koji and T-Ai, they too are also enjoying the evening together. Koji later threw his arms around T-Ai's neck as she threw hers around his lower back. He was seemingly happy for the moment until he heard one of the citizen's voices that disrupted his dance with T-Ai.
"Hey! Something is coming towards us!"
Then sure enough, by releasing his hug from T-Ai, he checks to see of what was heading this way. Kicker and Rad have also noticed it as soon as they joined in.
"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" says Koji.
"Yeah, trouble. Big time trouble" Kicker mentioned.
As Rad peers closer to see, who the invaders are, his eyes widened in shock. "It's Galvatron…and Ga'Mede!"
"What?" shouted T-Ai, Misha and Alexis in unison.
After he unveiled the intruders, they all moved out of the way until Galvatron and Ga'Mede burst right through the window as thousands of glass pieces spread across the entire room. Every citizen screamed in panic as they leave the thirtieth floor and head outside for cover. The Autobot brothers, who were currently sitting down in the parking lot, have detected a lot of screaming from the citizens that are running from the tower in fear.
"Hey, what's going on?" says Sideburn.
"Huh? Oh, no! Look! Galvatron is up there and Koji and the rest of them are still inside!" cried Prowl.
"I'll be damn! We've got to get up there!" X-Brawn suggested.
As of right now, the only ones that were left in this room are Koji, T-Ai, Kicker, Misha, Rad and Alexis as they've come face-to-face with the Decepticon leader and his newest companion, Ga'Mede.
"Greetings, you arrogant fools! Sorry to barge in, but we need someone to reactivate Fortress Maximus!"
"That's right. We want you, Koji." Ga'Mede points his finger at Koji and feels a little agitated by their presence and offer.
"I get it. You want me to get inside Fortress Maximus and start him up. Well, I've got news for you, I refuse!"
Galvatron laughed madly. "Is that so? What if, we inject you with Neo-Dark Energon?" He made a small grin and glares back at him.
Koji's eyes were filled with horror and his body was beginning to shake with fear. "No! You wouldn't!"
"Oh, yes!" He cackled with another sick laugh, while holding a large purple, red and black prism-shaped Energon in his hands glowing.
To Be Continued...
End of Chapter 12
