Autobot Ark
Several days have passed and Optimus Prime is sitting alone in his command chair at the command deck of the Ark fast asleep. Unfortunately his dreams were not very pleasant as he stirred every few seconds. In his dream, Prime laid on the ground heavily damaged gasping in pain. Around him was a technological city in chaos and destruction. Buildings were set aflame and small dead life forms littered the floor. The reddened sky was filled with ash and smoke as the city burned. Close to him are his fellow Autobots, lifeless on the ground. Laying on his right side was Bumblebee on his back with a charred hole in his chest, and he was not alone. Next to his motionless left hand lay an armored yellow furred feline creature with a wrench in his hand. And a smaller battered robot lay lifeless next to it.
Optimus weakly sat up and saw in front of him many of his Autobots dead. Many had holes in there chests and heads. Some had lost their arms or legs. Some were even bisected or decapitated! Next to the dead robots were small furry life forms in broken armor, including a being in blue feathers laying next to Jazz who was bisected, a green fat toad creature who laid dead on his stomach next to Wheeljack, who had a charred hole between his eyes. In fact laying on his left was a red furred creature with a bushy tail and what seemed to be a small star-fighter wrecked next to him.
Suddenly, Seekers flew by overhead along with other unknown Star fighters. Even worse, Optimus Prime's eyes widened in fear as he heard heavy footsteps and a large shadow loomed hover the fallen leader. Optimus slowly looked up to see the sneering face of his sworn enemy, Megatron.
"How does it feel, Prime? To finally die, knowing I have finally beaten you, and everything becomes mine for the taking?" Asked Megatron.
Megatron looked up and smiled proudly at the horrific scene of death and destruction, then looked back down at Optimus.
"Even with your new allies, you still fail. Because as you know, in order to win, I made friends of my own." Megatron said.
A purple robot the size of a Cybertronian's flew in at Megatron's right side. He had a green, transparent, egg shaped head dome with gears, pistons, and cogs. He had bright red eyes and red highlights across his torso and a pair of mechanical wings attached to his pauldrons. He also had hydraulic pipes on his chest and back and diamond shaped guards on his arms and legs.
Floating in above was a giant head of an ape with white and grey fur and large floating hands at the sides.
"This universe is ours, Prime. With you and your allies out of the way, no one can stop us!" Megatron exclaimed just before all three of the villains laughed triumphantly.
"Optimus." Optimus heard a voice among the dead Autobots when the battered form Ultra Magnus suddenly rose up!
"Get up, Prime! You have to get up! Optimus, wake up!" Magnus shouted as Optimus Prime's visions started to become blurry.
"Prime, wake up!" Ultra Magnus shouted as the Autobot leader woke up to see a concerned Ultra Magnus in front of him.
"I came in here to check on you, and you were stirring in your sleep. It appeared you were having a nightmare." Said Ultra Magnus.
"I was, my friend." Replied Optimus.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Asked Magnus.
"No. I do not. What is the construction status of our new headquarters?" Asked Prime.
"Nearly 68 percent complete, Optimus. We should be done in another day or two." Answered Ultra Magnus.
"That is good to hear." Optimus said.
Optimus lowered his head in his chair. Ultra Magnus was quick to notice.
"Is something wrong, Prime?" Asked Magnus.
" The Autobots I sent away. I hope that not only they still function, but made new allies." Answered Optimus.
Ultra Magnus looked confused.
"Optimus, are you sure we will make peace with the inhabitants of the other galaxies?" Asked Magnus.
"I am positive, my friend." Replied Prime. "I have a feeling we will need their help in our war, just as they might need help with their own conflict."
"Affirmative." Said Ultra Magnus. "I will continue to oversee the construction of our new headquarters."
Ultra Magnus left the room leaving Optimus alone.
"If my visions are correct, Megatron will also gain allies in the other galaxies." Optimus thought.
Meanwhile, somewhere in outer space, the Decepticon flagship Nemesis was in heavily damaged and running out of fuel. On the command bridge, Megatron was sitting in his command chair looking rather angry as the decepticons were working tirelessly and nervously on the controls.
"Steady the ship! We will not stop until we find a planet to land on!" Megatron barked.
The decepticons worked for a few minutes until an explosion rocked the ship.
"Damage report!" Ordered Megatron.
"Another of our engines has been damaged. The constructicons are attempting to repair it as we speak." Reported Soundwave.
"Lord Megatron, the ship's energy level is dangerously low! At this rate, we will be floating helplessly in space without power or fuel!" Said a worried Thundercracker.
"Cease your whining or I'll stop it for you, Thundercracker! And get back to work!" Yelled Megatron.
"Lord Megatron, we are coming up to an uninhibited, barren planet straight ahead." Said Soundwave as a dark, rocky planetoid slowly came to view.
"Set a course for that planetoid!" Ordered Megatron.
"Megatron, the damaged engines have destabilized the ship. We won't make a safe landing." Said a scared Starscream.
"Then we'll have to make do for a crash landing. Stay the course!" Commanded Megatron.
"Megatron, that's suicide!" Said a decepticon soldier before he was blasted by Megatron's fusion cannon.
"Anyone else care to object?" Asked Megatron.
The Decepticons immediately went back to work to land on the barren planet.
The Nemesis soon reached the atmosphere of the planet and the ship was going down at a fast speed. The engines were all but damaged so a crash landing was inevitable.
"Brace for impact!" Thundercracker yelled before the Nemesis finally crashed onto the rocky surface.
After a few minutes the Decepticon leader was the first to speak.
"Report!" Megatron barked.
"The main engines are all but destroyed beyond repair and the ship's power source is down to forty percent." Said a decepticon on the intercom.
Megatron thought for a moment.
"Soundwave, reroute all power to send a distress signal for the seekers we sent to intercept the Autobots. As well as lure in some 'visitors'." Commanded Megatron.
"As you command, Megatron." Said Soundwave as he began to work.
Megatron was deep in thought in his command chair.
"Of course the distress signal is a perfect way to lure in some guests and pillage their ships to rebuild our ship. But what if we can actually make friends with a visitor or two? We'll just have to wait and see." Thought Megatron as his mouth curled into a smile.
Whoa! What a nightmare Prime has! Was it a dream? Or actually a vision of the future?
And I hope Optimus is right about making peace with the people of the other galaxies and Star systems so the Autobots will have a better chance against the decepticons.
And Megatron has crash landed on a barren planet and sent out a distress signal to lure in unsuspecting rescuers or to make allies with other conquerors like him. Oh no!
For all you Star Fox and Ratchet and Clank fans out there, can you tell me who the villains are in the nightmare beside Megatron?
This is MergingEmperor7, over and out.
