Invincibility Factor

Waspinator buzzed by Megatron again, this time screaming his insect head off.

"Carnage alive again?" Inferno asked.

"Who ya's talking about boss bot?" QuickStrike asked.

"Carnage, was an experimental Predacon warrior. We processed cells from myself, Inferno, Terrorsaur, Scorponok, and Dinobot." Megatron explained.

Dinobot and Rampage just trotted into the room.

"If he was made from you, then I shall rip out his spark, and crush it." Rampage said.

"Hmm..an excellent idea Rampage." Megatron said, "Take Waspinator with you. Find Carnage, and destroy him."

Waspinator gulped. "Why Wazzpinator have to go?"

"Rampage may need help. According to description, Carnage can fly, so you'll be areial support." Megatron explained.

"But.." Waspinator began.

"GO!" Megatron ordered.

The two headed out, and Megatron sat back in his throne.

"With Carnage here, the Beast Wars will be harder to win than ever." Megatron thought.

Dinobot activated a scanner and gasped. "Megatron!" he roared.

Megatron came running over, QuickStrike and Infeno following. "What is it?" Megatron asked.

"I have a lock on Tarantulas' energy signature. It's very faint however. According to this, Tarantulas is in several pieces." Dinobot told him.

"Am I supposed to care?" Megatron demanded.

"The fact is, there's another Predacon energy signature there. A big Predacon energy signature." Dinobot explained.

"Carnage." Megatron realized. "Well, well. He's allready attacked Tarantulas. That means his next arget should be..."

"US!" the Predacons all gasped.

Outside, the Predacon base, Rattrap and BlackArachnia held their positions, and watched as Rampage and Waspinator headed off in another direction. They scanned the horizon, looking for anything.

"Where do you suppose they're going?" Rattrap asked.

"Probably on scout patrol. I don't know why were here. Nothing interesting ever happens here." BlackArachnia told him.

"Yer right." Rattrap said, "I say we get going."

Rattrap was suddenly covered in a shadow. "Your in my ight, BlackArachnia." he said.

"It's not me." BlackArachnia said. They realized they were both covered. They turned their heads, to see a monstrous creature towering over them, laughing his head off.

"What in the name of cheese is that?" Rattrap asked.

"Your death, vermin." it explained, "Carnage, Terrorize!"

BlackArachnia and Rattrap gasped. The giant robot stared at them with huge, red optics. They pulled ou their guns and fired madly. Carnage laughed as the bullets hit, barely affecting him.

"Back ta the base!" Rattrap said. He converted to vehicle mode and BlackArachnia climbed on. He teared like heck away.

"You can run!" Carnage said, "But you can never hide from me!"

Carnage then transformed back towards his beast mode, but stoppe halfway. His armor plates switched around and changed. He then looked like a massive defense system. Large treads came underneath him, and he moved forward after them, firing madly. The Maximals dodged the attacks and disappeared off. Realizing he couldn't catch them, Carnage returned to his beast form, and moved towards the Predacon base.

Inside, Megatron, Dinobot, Inferno and QuickStrike stood ready, with weapons drawn. They stared around, waiting for Carnage to show up.

"Where is he?" Megatron asked.

"Yeah! Let him get here so I can kick his kiester!" QuickStrike yelled, then settled back.

Thunderous footsteps startled the predacons. Megatron gasped and charged his cannon. Inferno pulled out one of his guns, and gave his other to Dinobot. QuickStrike readied his cobra head.

The noise grew louder and louder, and LOUDER, until, it stopped. A crash was heard from above them. Inferno flew up and check the vents. Suddenly, a head crashed through. A horribly mixed up metal head.

"Boo."

At the Maximal base, Rattrap and BlackArachnia had just arrived.

"What are you doing back?" Rhinox asked, "You were ordered there for three mega cycles."

"We got a bigger problem big green." Rattrap told him. "Carnage is back!"

"And he's pissed." BlackArachnia added. Rhinox gasped and slumped over. Optimus, SilverBolt and Cheetor walked over.

"What's up?" Cheetor asked.

"What are you doing here?" Optimus asked Rattrap and BlackArachnia.

"Maybe you should sit down for this fearless leader." Rattrap suggested, "We got big problems."

At the Predacon base, they were firing crazily at Carnage as he crashed through the ceiling. He laughed.

"You can not stop me!" Carnage roared, "Power is mine at last! I RISE AGAIN!"

Carnage fired energy bolts from his hands at Inferno, knocking him into stasis lock. He threw QuickStrike around like a rag doll. He smashed Dinobot clear through the ceiling and turned to Megatron.

"Finally, I'll destroy you." Carnage said, and drew a large blade, composed from energon. He slashed Megatron with it, and the Predacon commander fell over screaming. A large gash was in his chest.

"You'll never win Carnage." Megatron gasped out in pain.

"I allready have." Carnage said with a smile. Then he drove the blade through Megatron's head. To save himself, the transmetal T-rex went into stasis lock.

"So, no one is left to challenge me?" Carnage asked.

"There is, yes." came a voice. Carnage turned around to see Rampage and Waspinator at the door.

"You dare to challenge me?" Carnage asked, "You are a fool."

Carnage pulled out a large gun and shot Waspinator with it. The bug was blown clear away. Carnage reverted to Beast mode and faced Rampage.

"You shall die now."

They leaped into battle. Rampage swung his claw, striking Carnage, but barely even hurting him. Carnage swung a clawed hand, knocking Rampage over. Enraged, the transmetal crab leaped up and tackled Carnage. In a lucky blow, Rampage clamped his claw over Carnage's head. Rampage used his other claw to chain his hands.

"Now, who's going to die?" Rampage mocked. Unnoticed, Carnage's scorpion tail reached up behind Rampage.

"Me!" Carnage roared and struck. Rampage screamed as cyber venom shot through his circuits. Taking advantage of the distraction, Carnage kicked Rampage outside. He followed, roaring.

"I'll blow you apart then." Rampage said, and transformed into his tank mode. He started firing missiles at Carnage. They struck, causing some minor damage.

"My turn." Carnage roared, and transformed into his massive defense station vehicle mode. He fired rapidly from weapons mounted on the vehicle. Rampage screamed from the hail of bullets, as he was almost scrapped.

"Now, I'll finish you." Rampage said, "Rampage, Terrorize!"

Carnage roared and transformed into robot mode. Rampage fired his rifle at Carnage, not even fazing him. Then he drew his missile launcher and fired a few. Carnage was struck, and visibly weakened. He drew his energon blade, and pulled out a large gun.

"Now, deatch shall claim you." Carnage said. He fired rockets from his gun, knocking Rampage around, and smashing him. Carnage swung his energon blade, and cut a long gash through Rampage's chest. He screamed and fell over. Carnage converted to beast mode as Rampage went into stasis lock.

"Now, to finish him." Carnage said, then cried out in pain.

"Warning, systems in danger zone." his internal computer warned, "Damage critical. Beginning system repair."

"Well, they almost had me." Carnage thought, "Oh well. I suppose I could always come back."

He laughed and outstretched his wings. He flew up into the sky, roaring loudly.

Behind a grove of trees, Depth Charge watched with interest.

"He was strong enough to take down X!" Depth Charge said to himself, "That means he could be a real threat. To all of us."

Depth Charge converted to his vehicle mode and flew back to the base.
