OTHER HELP 
By: Mark Harris
 


The Vok a race of aliens that look like they are ghosts thought the meddlesome Cybertronians had left Earth for good. They were wrong. Not only did they have two rogues of their own kind to stop, but also now they had to worry about more Cybertronians messing up the timeline once again. “These Cybertronians must be stopped once and for all.” Vok1 rants. “I agree, how should we handle the two threats?” Vok2 asks. “Surely the two rogues will side with the Predacons just like they did with Tarantulas during Primal Prime’s tenure on Earth. We must provide the Maximals with an equal amount of help.” Vok1 answers his comrade. “Who what should we provide?” Vok2 asks. “How is our little experiment on Onyx proceeding?” Vok1 asks. “The leader lives, his teammates have perished they were incapable of withstanding it.” Vok2 reports. “Fine send him when our rogues join the Predacons.” Vok1 commands. 

 

“Scorponok when will you have those slagging files decrypted?” Terrorsaur demands. “They are about 60% decrypted now shut the slagging hell up and wait.” Scorponok yells. 

 

Jawbreaker is in the Maximal base safeguarding the future, at least that is what Dark Night thinks; Jawbreaker is actually sleeping. Dark Night and his owl friend are searching for energon. Their supplies were really low. Upon finding energon to mine, the owl became the lookout for Predacon activity while Dark Night mined it. 

 

The two rouge Vok were near Dark Night and his owl, watching and waiting. “More Cybertronians! Don’t those fools ever get tired of this planet? They do have a home world more advanced than this mud ball.” Rogue Vok1 says. “At least they leave at some point. The Maximals should be getting help soon from our brethren, let’s make sure that the Predacons win this time.” Rogue Vok2 sinisterly plots. 

 

Dark Night loads up the cargo container with the mined energon and heads back to base. His owl friend follows suit. They arrive to find an awake and alert Jawbreaker watching the monitors. “Did you bring back much?” Jawbreaker inquires. “Filled the container to the top plus some.” D.N. answers as he heads for the energon storeroom. 

 

“I have finished Terrorsaur. You won’t believe this.” Scorponok boasts proudly. “What is it you dolt?” Terrorsaur demands to know irritated. Scorponok then informs Terrorsaur about the two Beast Wars and what those giant tubes were used for. “At least I don’t have to take over this time. I am already in charge.” Terrorsaur boasts. “The pit you are, I was Megatron’s second in command, I am leader.” Scorponok pulls his missile launcher out and blasts Terrorsaur. Terrorsaur pulls out his rifle and fires back. The two Rogue Vok watch the fight between the two Predacons. “I can’t believe these two are the only Predacons alive.” Rogue Vok2 says. “We are going to have to take command from them, by force if necessary.” Rogue Vok1 contemptuously utters. 

 

An explosion powerful enough to register on the Maximal scanners erupts from the Predacon base. The Maximals head straight to the location to see if they can use this opportunity to take out the Predacons once and for all. Upon their arrival before they can do anything two more powerful Cybertronians ambush them. 

 

Vok2 as ordered goes to the experimental Maximal on another planet, which is located outside of space and time. 

 

Dark Night and Jawbreaker recover from the blasts and dive for cover. They pull out the big guns and begin firing upon the area the blasts were coming from. The blasts coming towards them slowly chips away at the Maximals’ cover. 

 

A vicious beast lands in front of the Maximals’ cover and is pelted with missile and blaster fire. He just stands there and takes it. He pulls out his own gun and fires once upon the location of the ambushers at full power and takes a huge chunk of the mountain out, sending debris and Predacons flying. He turns to the Maximals. “Hello Maximals I am Grimlock, the Vok have sent me here to ensure that the Predacons and you don’t slag the timeline up. Let’s go back to the Ark to ensure its safety and for me to download some important data into your Maximal computer.” The two Maximals stand up in shock at his sheer size and power. He is three times taller than them and they aren’t any shorties they are just as tall as Optimus Primal in his Transmetal form. They head back to the Ark. 

 

The two Predacons Grimlock blasted get up. “The Vok have made their presence known to the Maximals. Time to make our presence known the Predacons.” Rogue Vok 2 now a Transmetal 2 Locust named Scourge commands. Rogue Vok1 nods in agreement now a Transmetal 2 Skunk named Stink Bomb. They pick themselves up and dig out the two Predacons that buried themselves in their petty fight.
