Chapter 39
The Dominator
As he stepped out from the singed trees, incinerated by his blast, he revealed his 35 foot frame. His whole body sharp and silver, with almost sickle like shapes creating his full body armor, decorated with scratches and purple at his joints and along his feet and hands. His large purple arm cannon steamed a little from its recent use. The purple decepticon symbol situated in the center of his chest. His glowing red eyes flickered to the infinity stones, as set themselves into the back of his right hand. His whole person, or bot, gave off an ominous and threatening aura.
Autobot and Avengers alike stepped back in horror as Megatron absorbed the power of the Infinity stones. The Autobots couldn't believe it, Megatron already was practically Unstoppable he had the power to wipe everything and everybody out from existence. He was now As close as one could be to being a god.
Despite of this Sam, T'challa and Rhodey Attacked Megatron from behind He turned around and looked at the incoming attack And said, "Such heroic nonsense" And Megatron raised his Fusion Cannon and fired. With his Cannon now Amplified by the Power Stone it ripped right through the three Avengers and when the blast cleared There was nothing left. It was almost like they had never existed.
Everyone just watched as their friends were destroyed. Optimus Tightened his grip on the Star Saber as he stared Megatron down. Megatron turn to face the remaining Autobots and Avengers, his eyes now glowing with the power of the Infinity Stones.
Starscream quickly ran beside Megatron and stood behind him And very obviously placed something on Megatron's back. However Megatron was not having any more of Starscream's foolishness. He grabbed a Starscream by the head and put his Fusion Cannon against his chest and fired blowing a hole straight through Starscream killing him instantly. The body fell limp as Starscream collapsed onto the ground.
As Optimus looked at Megatron he felt the Matrix hum with power As if just being in proximity with the six Infinity Stones Awoken something. something old. However he didn't have time to think about it much as the battle began. Megatron fired his Fusion Cannon empowered by the Power Stone, Desperately the autobots and Avengers scattered As the blast hit the ground, it created a crater. Optimus stove and grabbed the cosmic Shield just in time to block an incoming blast, Fusion Cannon hit the shield it said Optimus is getting back and he saw that a crack had formed in the cosmic Shield. Megatron prepared to fire another blast and that's when Ironhide attacked from behind.
Ironhide kicked him in the back of the knees and punched him in the face this barely affected Megatron as he simply grabbed Ironhide and a threw him away. Optimus tried to use the advantage to slash at him with the star saber But Megatron simply caught the saber By the blade and looked Optimus in the Optics. He let out a low laugh and spoke, " You think this will stop me?" Optimus tried to pull the star saber away but Megatron had an iron grip on it. "How cute." And Megatron with one hand destroyed the star saber. The action sent out an energy pulse that uprooted every tree in the area.
Optimus fell to his knees as he looked at the pieces of the star saber on the ground. Megatron and his Fusion Cannon down at Prime's head as the other Autobots watched in horror and shock at what Megatron had just done. However before Megatron could fire Optimus quickly moved the fusion Cannon out of the way and hit Megatron with an uppercut and a kick sending Megatron back. "At the end of this day Megatron," Optimus said Getting to his feet, "One shall stand, one shall fall."
As Optimus said that the other Autobots rallied around him. "We are right beside you prime." Ironhide said.
"So are we Optimus." Voice said, seemingly from nowhere. That's when updraft, Tony, and several others came through a ground Bridge. Updraft fired two missiles that each impacted Megatron in the back, Tony flew over them in his suit and dropped several cores on to the other Avengers suits which reactivated them as they got in..
It was now Megatron versus the autobots and the Avengers. In response Megatron just said one word, "Fine." Megatron jumped in for the attack. The reality Stone glowed as the ground beneath them turned to water and they dropped but Midway through Megatron turned it back into rock stopping them from moving at all. But updraft quickly fired a missile danger close at his fellow Autobots breaking the rock they were trapped in freeing them and allowing Optimus to punch Megatron twice as Tony fired his uni-beam into Megatron. A space Stone glowed as a portal opened up behind Megatron and another portal opened up in front of updraft as Tony's Uni-beam went through the portals and almost hit updraft.
Optimus threw the cosmic Shield stunning him momentarily allowing optimists to transform and ram directly into him but Megatron quickly recovered and used the space Stone to make Optimus go right through him and cause him to hit Natasha. Ironhide ran forward and attempted to punch Megatron but Megatron's fist glowed purple as he hit Ironhide directly in the chest sending him flying backwards leaving a massive dent in his chest.
Suddenly a red hue encased Megatron's Fusion Cannon. Megatron looked at it curiously as he could feel the red heel begin to crush the cannon although it was happening incredibly slowly. He looked down and realized that it was the puny human female. He raised his foot to Crush the weakling that Dared to stand up to a god when Optmus in his Vehicle mode rammed into him Causing him to stumble back.
Megatron looked with hatred at Optimus However before Megatron could close his hands in an effort to use the stones Clint shot a trick Arrow hitting Megatron directly in the hand, Expanding foam came out of the arrowhead that hardened to be as tough as Steel. Megatron looked down at his hand and begin to easily crush the foam but Avengers used this brief moment to their advantage.
Black Widow came up behind Megatron Megatron on the back of the knee with her electric be time before she jabbed her other baton directly to the chest of Megatron. Used his free hand to grab a Natasha by the arm and throw her away. Just in time for Steve to run in and throw his shield momentarily stunning Megatron before he caught it And slammed into Megatron with it Knocking him over. With Megatron on his back raised his shield above his head ready to slam it down on Megatron's neck However before he could Megatron raise his Fusion Cannon Wanted it directly at Steve's head who in an Instant brought his shield back down to block the incoming shot. Megatron fired it's sent to Steve careening through the air before he slammed into the ground hard.
Megatron began to get back to his feet and destroyed the foam that was preventing him from using the Infinity Stones. However before he could use that a Red Hue incased his hand preventing it from closing. His Optics focused on Wanda who's red magic Surrounded her hands it was obvious that she was the reason that he couldn't close his hand. Before he could start to approach her, Tony Stark Came back to the fight and dived straight towards Megatron diverting a large amount of Nanobots to his arms making them weigh Far more than usual As he put them out in front of and slammed directly into Megatron knocking him back. Tony didn't give Megatron time to recuperate. He diverted some of the Nanobots onto his elbows creating Small thrusters that allowed him to punch with much more Force then he usually would be able to.
Tony punched Megatron twice before attempting to go for a right hook but Megatron easily caught it and headbutted Tony before He kicked him far back. Before anyone could interfere Megatron pointed his Fusion cannon at Wanda and fired. Wanda screamed as the blast enveloped her. And as the dust cleared Wanda was no more. The Avengers stood there in shock as one over there teammates had been not only killed but nothing remained of her.
Tony full of Rage, was about to rush at Megatron when Optimus put a hand on his shoulder stopping him. "control yourself Tony. You cannot let rage consume you or you will be joining all those who have lost today."
Tony took a deep breath, calming himself. He knew Optimus was right. Quill getting angry nearly let Thanos win. " Right. Of course." Tony said refocused on the fight.
Optimus ran at Megatron dodging to the side of one of his Fusion cannon shots and went to punch Megatron but before he could Megatron created a portal in front of him causing Optimus to fall through and punch Ironhide in the back of the head causing them both to fall down,Megatron raised his fist and the Redstone glowed and a massive Boulder formed just over them and it began to fall. Both Ironhide and Optimus quickly stood up and attempted to catch the giant boulder, They catch the Boulder as it attempts to crush them, their servos Straining under the massive weight. The two Autobots nodded at each other before they used their combined Might to throw the boulder at Megatron, You simply raised his Fusion Cannon and fired, obliterating the boulder.
Before Megatron could even think of his next move he saw two fists that sent him stumbling backwards. Optimus and Ironhide continued their attack, Landing several strong strikes on to Megatron although they didn't seem to even be affecting his paint. Megatron used the red stone to create a Stone box between him and the two AutobotsIs he used this Dawn to begin to crushed them And that's when lightning struck him on the chest Forcing Him to Stop the crushing Stones as he raised his hand in an effort to stop the lightning incoming from one of the annoying pests, but this one could fly. He raised his Fusion Cannon at the Flying pest and fired. It barely managed to dodge but this momentary distraction allowed Optimus and Ironhide to escape the stone box and rallied with the other Autobots and Avengers.
It was clear Megatron had had enough of this, he closed his fist and waved at The Avengers sending out an orange pulse while saying, "I've had enough of this. Now I claim your souls!" Optimus got in front of His friends and Prepared to take the full Brunt of the energy pulse.
He closed his optics and braced himself for death, he felt the energy pulse collide with him and the Matrix. Except death didn't come, instead he felt power. He opened his Optics, Confused. Optimus looked down at his hands and saw power coursing through his circuits, Orange electricity jumping between his fingers, Matrix felt powerful. Megatron looked at this with curiosity, Optimus pushed his hands out and shot the orange pulse back at Megatron, who created a portal behind him and stepped backwards into it with it closing just before the pulse could reach him.
Everyone looked at Optimus for an answer but he didn't have one, The Matrix felt reinvigorated, Like a power that had long since left it had returned. The power he had felt was Incredible but was gone now, At least, Most of it.
A portal opened behind Bumblebee and Megatron came charging out, knocking both Autobots and Avengers aside. He jumped into the air and fired his Fusion Cannon into the ground knocking all of them off balance, Allowing Megatron to get the advantage on the autobots and Rush directly into the group.
Megatron slammed directly into Arcee before he got a hold of her leg and slammed her into the ground before he threw her at Optimus. Jazz shot his grapple at and it wrapped around Megatron's wrist in an attempt to restrain him. It didn't work as Megatron grabbed all of the grapple and pulled Jazz Towards him Before he stuck his arm out and clotheslined Jazz, Activated his blade which is slid out between his arm and his Fusion Cannon and Easily Cut through the grapple. Ironhide ran forward and grabbed Megatron by the arm And slammed him against the ground before Ironhide could do anything else however John shoved his blade through Ironhide's arm and tore upwards severing it completely, Ironhide screamed in pain as he stumbled back holding where his arm should be, And Megatron use the opportunity to kick Ironhide away.
Above Megatron, the iconic sound of missiles being fired could be Heard He looked above him and saw updraft in the air unleashing his entire payload on Megatron. Megatron opened a portal directly in front of the opened another portal directly in front of Optimus who was about to rush at Megatron. The incoming Firepower went directly through the portal and slammed into Optimus knocking him back. Megatron then walked backwards into a portal and opened another one directly above Updraft,
Appearing Directly on top of him, and Megatron jammed his blade into Updrafts rotors destroying them.
Tony flew into the air and fired Megatron off of updraft and Tony just barely managed to catch up draft and set him down on the ground. As he was falling through the air Megatron opened a portal He fell right into it, appearing behind Natasha grabbing her by the arm and Slicing down, removing the arm, Natasha with the other took out her electric baton and jabbed it into Megatron's neck, Hoping to at least Stun him, however there was no such luck, Megatron grabbed the Baton and snapped it with and put his Fusion cannon into Natasha's suit and fired The first shot going through the suit Missing Natasha entirely however the second shot went straight through the helmet and Natasha screamed in pain, she could feel every atom being torn away from her body and then the screaming stopped.
Megatron let the suit fall to the ground destroyed with Natasha dead. The entire Battlefield froze. The Black Widow had fallen, Just like so many others this day. Everyone rushed at him at the same time however Megatron just laughed as he easily defeated the Avengers and Autobots the one by one. Even together they stood no chance not against a Megatron powered by the Infinity Stones. Badly beaten things seemed hopeless.
Megatron slowly approached Optimus who was badly beaten. Was this it? Was this the end of the cybertronian wars? Raised his Fusion Cannon to Optimus and began to charge it up. And that's when Updraft came in, he slammed directly into Megatron causing him to inadvertently fire into the air saving Optimus however, Updraft Stood no chance against the leader of the Decepticons Megatron grabbed a hold of Updraft by the wings and put his Fusion Cannon to the cybertronian's gut and fired. The blast went straight through updraft's body Destroying his Spark and Megatron dropped him.
"NO!" Optimus cried out. Optimus dragged himself over to Updraft his right leg badly damaged from a blast from Megatron. He did his best to pick up updraft and looked him in the Optics. He wasn't even 5 years old. He didn't deserve to be thrust into this war.
With what little power updraft had remaining he spoke "Optimus, did I do good?" he asked, his Optics flickering weakly as Energon leaked out of the hole in his chest.
"Yes you did good." Optimus said trying to comfort the dying cybertronian, Updraft smiled weakly as His Optics flickered out and his body went to limp.
Megatron didn't say a word he merely raised his Fusion Cannon and prepared to fire, and that's one a blue handle reached out and grabbed the fusion Cannon forcing it to the side and causing it to fire into the ground. Optimus slowly got to his feet and look to Megatron dead in the arctics with a rage so intense that surprised Megatron. Prime grabbed onto Megatron's hand and the power of the Infinity Stones begin to transfer from Megatron to Optimus, repairing him, upgrading him.
"Enough," Optimus spoke in a Steely cold voice, He hit Megatron with a punch with enough force that sent him stumbling back, "of," Optimus said as he ran forward and hit Megatron again Square in the face causing dark Energon to spew out, "THIS!" Optimus yelled as he hit Megatron with a kick that sent him flying back. Before Megatron could recover, Optimus leaped into the air and turned his hand into a battle ax "NO MORE!" Optimus cried as he went to bring down his ax on Megatron. Megatron just barely had time to roll out of the way evading the ax that would have cleaved him in two. Once Megatron got back to his feet Optimus grabbed his hand that contained The Infinity gauntlets. he imagined a desolate world devoid of life and anyone to harm. a portal appeared behind Megatron and Optimus kicked him in before swiftly following and the portal closed behind them.
