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.
