The Lost Spark: Part 1

This is a place of peace and honor.  This is a place where all the great transformers gather when their robotic forms are destroyed.  This is the Matrix.  And out of the millions of sparks, one is chosen to be sent back to where it went off-line.  “ Return home,” ordered a voice.  Then that chosen spark rushes out from the cloud of sparks into space.

Quickstrike is sleeping while on guard of the Predicon base.  Then all of the sudden flashing red lights turn on and there is a loud buzzing sound.  Quickstrike jumps out of the chair very startled.  “What the he…llo looky what we got here!”  Megatron and his loyal drone Inferno run in. “What is going on Quickstrike?” yelled the Predicon commander.  “A stasispod just fell from the sky um sir.”  Answered Quickstrike.  “That’s impossible fool!  All of the pods have crashed when the alien device tried to destroy this world,” bellowed Megatron.  “ Royalty it is true look,” said Inferno.  Megatron turns around and looks at the screen.  “Well, it dose not matter anymore where it came from as long as it comes to me.  Yesss…  Quickstrike, Inferno let us get our selves a new solder,” ordered Megatron.  “Yes my queen,” praised Inferno.  Megatron gives a little growl and they march out of the room.

The transmetal spider is standing at his computer console spying on the Predicon base.  “Yes, go and leave your base to me,” said Tarantulas in a sneaky voice.

Cheetor is flying over the desert doing a scan of the Maximal border.  “ Leaping lasers a stasispod!”  Gasped the transmetal cat.  He turns toward the pod. 

“ Optimus this is Cheetor I’ve just found a stasis pod in Predicon territory.  What should I do?” asked Cheetor.

 “ Don’t cross the border Cheetor!  I’ll be right there!” ordered Primal.  Cheetor lands and transforms to robot mode.

Rampage crawls in and spots his spark hanging in its cage unprotected.  He reaches for it with his crab claw, but the claw passed through the spark cage.  “ A hologram slag!” yelled the angry crab.  “ Looking for something?” said a dark shadow behind him.  “Who are you?” asked Rampage.  He turns around swiftly.  Then Tarantulas walks slowly out of the darkness tossing the spark up and down. “How did you?” questioned the crab.  “I shut the power down snuck in and grabbed this portion of you life.”  Explained Tarantulas.  “Give it now webs!” ordered Rampage.  “ Not yet only after you listen to my proposal.”  Said Tarantulas.  “Ok I’ll listen.”  Rampage said with a smooth voice.  “ Now I can see that your life here isn’t very… well good.  So I have the solution.”  Explained the spider.  “Which is?” questioned the crab.  Then Tarantulas places the spark in his back chamber.  “Well, I’ve devised a plan to get off this dirt ball.  Once we do I can introduce some of my old friends to you (giggle)” smirked Tarantulas as Rampage transforms.  “Hmm…  How would we get off the planet spider?” asked the curious king crab.  “I’ve collected a shield emitter from that ship that came from the future.  But I can’t get to the propulsion systems without… you.”  Answered Tarantulas.

 “ You are an insane creature, but let’s say I do join forces with you…  who are your friends we would go to and what use are they?” asked Rampage.  “My friends… are the Predicon secrete police.  We hide out planing against the Maximals of Cybertron.  I was chosen to join Megatron’s crew to find out what he wants.”  Explained the transmetal spider.  Then a low buzzing sound comes close to the room.  Then Waspinator enters in robot mode.  “What is spider bot and crab bot doing in Megatron’s room?” asked the crazy insect.  They say nothing.  “Waspinator will tell Megatron.”  Said Waspinator.  Then he taps his chest to open a link to Megatron.  “ I wouldn’t do that insect.”  Bellowed Rampage as he brings his tri-barrel cannon out aiming it at Waspinator.  “Megatron Ram…” yelled Waspinator as Rampage blasted him to pieces.  “ Megatron to Waspinator what is it?” asked Megatron over the comm.  Then Tarantulas looks at Rampage sneakily.  Tarantulas taps the side of his head then a little communicator slides out (Seen in Before the Storm).  “Waspinator a…a had a bad dream.”  Said Tarantulas in Waspinator’s voice.  “ Errr… stupid wasp I can not be bothered with your mad dreams.”  Bellowed Megatron as he cut the com link.  “ That was too close.”  Said Rampage as he returns to beast mode.  “ Come I’ll show you my Lab.” said Tarantulas turning to beast mode.  They both craw out of the room slowly.

Optimus hovers down and transforms to Robot mode next to Cheetor.  “ So what do we do big bot?” asked the young transformer.  “ Well, I get the pod while you watch my back.  Because if we picked the pod’s signal up…  I’m bettin’ Megatron has too.  “ Said Primal.  Optimus pulls his weapon out and they both walk swiftly across the border to the pod.  Then they hear a loud thump in the distance.  “ What the?” gasped Optimus.  Then 4 missals charge toward the Maximals exploding around them.  Making them dive away by the force of the explosion.  “ Slag!  Mega jerk always has ta be here.”  Said the angry Cheetah.  “ Well, it looks like you are out numbered my dear Maximals.  Yesss…’’ said Megatron.  “This is our pod mega dumb!” yelled Cheetor as they stand up.  “ Not this time foolish cat!” yelled Megatron.  He blasts a shot at Cheetor, but Optimus blocks it with a few blasts from his gun.  “Attack!” yelled Inferno as he fires on the out numbered Maximals.  Cheetor and Optimus start firing at the Predicons, but they aren’t doing much damage.  “ We have to lead them away from the pod!  Flight mode!” yelled Primal as he transforms to his air board mode and flies upward as Megatron follows in his fight mode.  “ Ya mine as well give it up pussy cat.”  Bellowed Quickstrike as he charges his venom.”  Oh, ya!  Cheetor doesn’t give up to anyone!” screamed Cheetor as he jumps up and blasts Quickstrike’s chest.  Then in mid air he transforms to flight mode and jets off.  “ Come and get me you stinkin’ Pred heads!”  Yelled Cheetor.  “ You will drag the protoform to the colony while I destroy the maximal flyer.”  Ordered the ant.  Then he blasts off toward Cheetor firing missiles everywhere.  “ Well, why do I have ta do the dirty work.”  Mumbled the fuzor.  He grabs on to the pod and starts to drag it away.

Rhinox is typing on the computer console alone in the command center.  Then Rattrap walks in.  “ Yo horn head where is da boss monkey?” asked the rat.  “Optimus is helping Cheetor retrieve a stasispod in sector 13.”  Explained Rhinox.  “Ya mean the Pred border?  That’s askin’ for trouble.” Gasped Rattrap, “So why is the power down to minimal?” asked Rattrap. 

“ I’m upgrading sentinel and I need to reroute power from Sensors, and other non-essential sources of energy.”  Explained Rhinox.  “  So is bird dog and the spider lady around?” asked Rattrap.  “ No they’re off getting some energon crystals for the upgrade.  Why?” said Rhinox?  Rattrap walks up to Rhinox and sits on the console and folds his arms on his chest.  “ Well, I’m just so bored.  There’s nothin’ to do ‘round this rat hole.”  Exclaimed Rattrap. 

“ If you’re so bored then I’ll give you something to do.” Exclaimed Rhinox.  “Like cleaning the outer hull with a tooth brush.”  Pushed Rhinox.  He glares at Rattrap.  “A...a...  No thanks I just remembered I had to… a….  Bye!”  Said Rattrap as he rushes out of the room.

Optimus and Megatron are chasing each other through the air.  “ Give up Megatron you can’t catch me!” yelled Optimus as he speeds pass the Predicon commander.  Then Optimus heads toward a cliff.  “ Oh, but you’re forgetting the first rule in war… never under estimate your enemy!  Yesss…” Answered Megatron as he transforms to robot mode, still hovering.  “ And now this game of tag will end!” bellowed the transmetal dinosaur as he blast the top of the cliff Optimus is under and it begins to collapse on the Maximal commander.  As Optimus falls to the forest below he screams in pain.  “ That sound ah it is soothing.  Yesss…(Then he gives a little giggle)” Laughed Megatron.  Meanwhile Optimus crashes to the ground and is crushed beneath a few very large boulders.  “ Arrr…  Must… get out.”  Optimus says with pain.  As he struggles to free himself.  Megatron lands a few meters away from the injured Maximal.  Megatron walks over to Optimus slowly with a mocking smirk on his face.  “ Well, Primal I will miss our little battles, but I have no more time to play.  This will be your last cycle on-line.  Yesss…(He laughs out loud)” Bellowed Megatron as he raises his arms.  His laser cannon glows a purple light as it charges to full power.  “ Good bye Maximal fool.”  And as Megatron said that Cheetor falls from the sky and lands on top of Megatron’s head knocking him out.  “ Do you mind if I dropped in big bot?”  Cheetor asked sarcastically as he smirks at Optimus.  “ Your timing is perfect.  Now help me up.”  Said Primal.

                They hear a door slide open.  “What was that?”  Tarantulas exclaimed as he turns around swiftly to investigate the sound.  “ What tha?  Hey, what ya doin’ here spider butt?” asked Quickstrike.  He looks over to the left and sees Waspinator in pieces on the floor.  “Hey, what’s goin’ on ‘round here crabby?”  Asked Quickstrike as he raises his snake arm.  Then Rampage walks up to Quickstrike and picks him up by the neck and holds him up to the wall.  “Hey, I don’t want any trouble Rampage.”  Gasped Quickstrike.  “ Your in my way fuzor. “ bellowed Rampage.  Then he smashes Quickstrike’s head with his fist and throws his beheaded body to the ground. “ Now let’s move before old grape face comes back.”  They walk out of the Predicon base and they find the stasispod lying in front of them.  “ This could be useful.”  Said Tarantulas.  “Help me bring it back to the Lab for reprogramming.” ordered Tarantulas.  Rampage gives a snort about the thought of taking orders from a weaker being.  Then he picks the whole thing up and he walks off.  “Show off.”  Whispered Tarantulas as he follows in Rampage’s shadow.

The Lost Spark

Part Two

Previously:

This is the Matrix.  And out of the millions of sparks, one is chosen to be sent back to where it went off-line.  “ Return home,” ordered a voice.  Then that chosen spark rushes out from the cloud of sparks into space.

“A stasispod just fell from the sky um sir.”  Answered Quickstrike.  “That’s impossible fool!  All of the pods have crashed when the alien device tried to destroy this world,” bellowed Megatron.  “ Royalty it is true look,” said Inferno.  Megatron turns around and looks at the screen.  “Well, it dose not matter anymore where it came from as long as it comes to me.  Yesss…  Quickstrike, Inferno let us get our selves a new solder,” ordered Megatron.  “Yes my queen,” praised Inferno.  Megatron gives a little growl and they march out of the room.

 “ You are an insane creature…” Rampage smirked.

“ Ya mine as well give it up pussy cat.”  Bellowed Quickstrike as he charges his venom.”  Oh, ya!  Cheetor doesn’t give up to anyone!” screamed Cheetor as he jumps up and blasts Quickstrike’s chest.  Then in mid air he transforms to flight mode and jets off.  “ Come and get me you stinkin’ Pred heads!”  Yelled Cheetor.  “ You will drag the protoform to the colony while I destroy the maximal flyer.”  Ordered the ant.  Then he blasts off toward Cheetor firing missiles everywhere.  “ Well, why do I have ta do the dirty work.”  Mumbled the fuzor.  He grabs on to the pod and starts to drag it away.

Optimus and Megatron are chasing each other through the air.  “ Give up Megatron you can’t catch me!” yelled Optimus as he speeds pass the Predicon commander.  Then Optimus heads toward a cliff.  “ Oh, but you’re forgetting the first rule in war… never under estimate your enemy!  Yesss…” Answered Megatron as he transforms to robot mode, still hovering.  “ And now this game of tag will end!” bellowed the transmetal dinosaur as he blast the top of the cliff Optimus is under and it begins to collapse on the Maximal commander.  As Optimus falls to the forest below he screams in pain.  “ That sound ah it is soothing.  Yesss…(Then he gives a little giggle)” Laughed Megatron.

They walk out of the Predicon base and they find the stasispod lying in front of them. 

“ This could be useful.”  Said Tarantulas.  “Help me bring it back to the Lab for reprogramming.” ordered Tarantulas.  Rampage gives a snort about the thought of taking orders from a weaker being.  Then he picks the whole thing up and he walks off.  “Show off.”  Whispered Tarantulas as he follows in Rampage’s shadow.

  --------------------------

Fade In.

Megatron lies on the ground while the wind picks up.  Then a small branch off the near by tree falls free on to the damaged Predicon’s head.  “ Arrr…  Primal…Hmmm…’’ Megatron said with pain as he stands to his feet rubbing his head.  “ Yet another chance ruined.  Soon Optimus, soon you will be no more.”  Said Megatron as he taps his chest.  “ Megatron to Inferno and Quickstrike.”  Said Megatron.  “ Errr…  Yes my Queen what is it?” asked the damaged ant.  “ Return to base at once there is much work to be done.”  Ordered Megatron.  “Yes royalty.”  Said Inferno.  “Oh, and Inferno did we or did we not get the pod?” asked Megatron.  “ Quickstrike has delivered it to the colony and he is probably waiting there for us to return.”  Answered Inferno  “ Good Yesss…  Megatron out.”  Said Megatron as he transforms to his flight mode and he jets off.

Rampage walks in with the stasis pod as Tarantulas follows.  “Now put the pod on that table over there.” Ordered Tarantulas.  Rampage slams the pod on the table. Then Tarantulas walks over to the pod and pushes Rampage away. Tarantulas attaches a small device that looks like a calculator. “ What’s that thing…  ‘Partner’.” Asked Rampage.  “ It will allow me to get inside the protoform’s mind and re right it just as I did to Blackaracnia’s.”  Explained Tarantulas.  “ Warning!  Warning… intruder to data core activate scanners.” Reported the computer.  “I didn’t know stasispods had an alarm.”  Yelled Rampage.  “ They don’t!”  Answered Tarantulas.  They both stand back as the pod glows.  Then the hatch cracks open and smoke pours out all over the lab.  “What tha?”  Gasped Rampage.  A smoky figure appears behind the smoke.  “ It can’t be!” yelled Tarantulas.  Then as Rampage lifts his weapon two green beams shoot the cannon away.  Then the smoke clears and nothing is there.

Megatron walks in followed by Inferno to find Quickstrike’s head lying in the doorway.  “Errr…  What happened here?” yelled Megatron as he kicks Quickstrike’s head a few meters away.  “The Maximals must have come here to get the new protoform.” Said Inferno.  “Yes, that must be it because the pod is gone too.”  Said Megatron.  “No!  Noooo!  They will pay!” screamed Megatron.  “ We will repair our injured comrades.  Then attack the Maximals and get back my protoform!  Yesss…” bellowed Megatron.

Silverbolt has 5 stable energon crystals and Blackaracnia is installing them in a slot in the wall.  “ Done…  All of the energon cubes are installed.” Said Blackaracnia as she presses a button, which closes the slot.  “ Good.  Now we can test my upgrades.” Said Rhinox as he flips 2 switches.  “ Computer bring defense system omega on-line.” Ordered Rhinox.  “Omega Defense on-line.” Answered the computer.  “Now I’ve set up a target about 2 kilometers away from the ship.  And we can watch my defense grid in action on this screen.”  Said Rhinox.  Optimus and the rest of the Maximals stand around Rhinox’s station to watch the defense system.  Then 2 auto guns activated and started glowing.  Then a picture of Megatron’s face taped onto a board rolled on a track 2 kilometers away from the ship.  The picture is rolling back and forth.  “ Hostile unit found…  Targeting sensors locked in.  Termination in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…” BABOOM!  Then 2 long silver missiles blast off toward the target.

The missiles hit the target and there was a big explosion. Back inside the ship all the Maximals are very impressed with the demonstration.  “Well, I think those Pred heads better think twice before bombin’ us again or they might go… boom! He ha!” said Rattrap.  “Rhinox you really out done your self this time.” Said Primal as he shakes Rhinox’s hand.  “Oh, it was my pleasure.” Said Rhinox. “  Hey big bot we got company!”  Gasped Cheetor as he looks at the screen. “ Megatron!” yelled Optimus.  “ Hostile unit found…  Targeting sensors locked in.  Termination in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…” BABOOM!

The sleek silver missile charge at the Predicons.  “ What?  No!”  Yelled Megatron as he grabbed Waspinator and throws him to block the missiles, but Waspinator was blown to pieces.  “Royalty are you damaged?” asked the loyal drone.  “No, but the Maximals have a new weapon and it could give them a considerable advantage!” bellowed Megatron as he charges his laser cannon and runs toward the Maximal ship.

“ Well, what are we waitin’ for let’s go beat’em to bits!”  Rattrap yells as he chocks his gun.  “ No we can’t go out there or the Omega system will destroy us!” said Rhinox.  “ Why old friend?” asked Primal.  Rhinox stands up and turns to everyone.  “ I haven’t installed the friend or foe file yet.”  Explained Rhinox.

The omega system is blasting missiles at the Predicons, which haven’t gotten hit once.  “Arrr…  We must stop that weapon!” bellowed the angry leader.  “ Ah Yesss…  Quickstrike ram this piece of Waspinator’s arm in the opening of the weapon.  Quickly!”  Ordered Megatron as he throws the piece to his soldier.  “ Well why am I the lucky one to do this here dangerous job?” he says under his voice as he runs up to the weapon’s opening and rams the piece up the tubing.  Then they hear a very load buzzing sound coming from the weapon.

The sound is louder in here as smoke fills the room.  “ What’s happening Rhinox?”  Primal yells.  “The weapons overloading!  It’s sending a feed back serge!”  Yelled Rhinox as he tries to fix the problem.  Everyone is coughing.  “ It’s like I always say…(cough)…  We’re all gonna die!” yelled Rattrap.  “I can’t see!  The smoke is to thick…(cough)…!”  Yelled Cheetor as he covers his optical sensors/eyes.  “ My love where are you?” bellowed Silverbolt as he searches for Blackaracnia.  “ Everyone out it’s gonna blow!” ordered Rhinox.  Just then Rhinox’s computer console exploded and all of the Maximals were flung to the wall.

The sentinel shielding flickers off and al the external auto-guns fall off-line.  Megatron smirks happily.  “ Let us see what is left of our enemies.’’  Ordered Megatron as he and his troops walk toward the hatch.

The room is filled with smoke and there are little sparks everywhere.  All of the Maximals lay off-line. 

“ Errr…  that hurt.”  Primal says with pain as he struggles to sit up.  “Tell me ‘bout it.”  Grunted Rattrap.  Then Megatron and his troops walk in. “ Well, well, well, it looks likes you lose Maximal.  Yesss…  And the best part about it…  is that your own weapon destroyed you.  (Laugh)” mocked Megatron.  “  Go ahead shoot me.”  Said Primal hoping to by some time.  “I am done talking Primal you shall be in your ‘great Matrix’ sooner than you thought.  Yesss…  Good-bye!” yelled Megatron as he charges his laser cannon.  Then a green beam hits Megatron in the back.  “What?  No it… it… can not be!”  Megatron gasps as he turns around.  Then the smoke clears and we see Dinobot standing there, charging his lasers.  “ The warrior is back!” yelled Dinobot.  Then Optimus kicks Megatron’s legs and he falls to the ground as Dinobot blasts him 4 times in the gut.  Then Rattrap and Cheetor start firing at the Predicons.  “ Errr…  Next time Primal!” bellowed Megatron as he picks up his troops and walks out of the base. 

Dinobot starts to follow, but Optimus grabs his shoulder.  “ Let’em go.”  Said Primal as he smiles.  “Let’s get our friends repaired.”  Ordered Primal as walks over to Rhinox.  Dinobot walks over to Rattrap and removes a large metal plate, which was covering his legs.  Dinobot bends over to speak to Rattrap.  “ Vermin get up!” Dinobot said.  “ Chopper Face how did ya” gasped Rattrap as he lifts his head.  “ It was not my time.” Mumble Dinobot as he helps Rattrap up.  “ It’s… well… it’s good to have ya back lizard butt.” Joked Rattrap.

The End
