Trouble With The Preds

By: Blaze Raptor & Darkshadow15


Jessie finally made it to the mall and went to the arcade and saw her friend Blaze Raptor. Jessie went to say hello to her good friend. But as she was passing the other games she saw a Beast Wars one.

 

Jessie: Blaze Raptor!

 

Blaze: Hey! What's up! While I was waiting for you I was playing DDR.

 

Jessie: Look I found a Beast wars game, it looks fun. Look you get these cool helmets that let you 'go in the game. Look here's a note, “Warning: only play this game if you are willing to take chances. You may never come back! Please enjoy the game!”

 

Blaze Raptor: Hey, cool! That’s kind of a strange label. Oh, well. Let's play it! 

 

So the two of them put on the helmets and began to play the game. Everything was normal until something strange happened to the machine. The game began to glow, shake and spark.    

 

Jessie: Woah, what's going on here?  

 

Blaze: I don't think I like this anymore.

 

They tried to pull off the helmets but the game sucked them in. Jessie and Blaze were screaming. A few seconds later, they ended up in a strange world.

 

Jessie: Blaze I'm so scared. Hey, the helmets are off.  So, shouldn't we be out of the game?

 

Blaze: You would think. Hey, if this is a Beast Wars game then maybe we’re in the Beast Wars world.

 

Jessie: Cool! But, not if we’re found by the wrong bots.

 

Blaze and Jessie heard pretty loud footsteps. There was no place to hide because they were in a meadow or a field.

 

Blaze: I don't like the sounds of that. Where are we going to hide?!  What if it's Megatron, or Rampage or..or...just about anyone who would want to hurt us?!  

 

Jessie: I don't know but we've got to do something. They're getting closer!  

 

The two girls backed up as they saw a shadowy figure walk up to them. They were too scared to move. Slowly the sunlight showed who it was. The figure turned out to be Megatron.

 

Megatron: Well look what we have here?

 

All of a sudden Inferno came from behind him and looked at the two scared girls.

 

Jessie: Oh it's only Mega loser! Oops, was that out loud!

 

Blaze: Jessie I don't think you should be making fun of him right now!

 

Inferno: How dare you disrespect the queen!

 

Jessie and Blaze couldn't help but laugh after they heard Inferno call Megatron 'Queen'.

 

Megatron: For the last time, stop calling me that!

 

Blaze: Forget what I just said. Anybody who lets people call him 'queen' deserves to be made fun of!  

 

Jessie: It’s bad enough that the guy plays with a rubber ducky!       

 

They both laughed. Megatron, however, did not find it funny. He was so mad that he was turning red!  

 

Megatron: We shall see who is laughing when I destroy you. Inferno, capture them! They will pay for their insolence, yes!  

 

Inferno: Yes, my Queen!  

 

Jessie- Ha, let’s see you catch me!

 

Jessie ran off but didn't go far when Inferno grabbed her wrist. Then he picked up Blaze who put up some fight.

 

Megatron: I thought it would be harder but I guess not! Back to base!

 

Within 5 cycles they arrive at the Predacon base. Jessie kept kicking Inferno in the leg. Blaze decided to not get on his bad side like Jessie.

 

Jessie: Well, that was so much fun!

 

Megatron: Put them in a holding cell until I can think of a fitting punishment.  

 

Inferno obeyed and put them in a cage but not without more struggling from the girls, of course. The robot ant left to report back to Megatron.

  

Jessie: Now how are we going to get out of this?  

 

Blaze: I don't know but I know one thing...I'm suing that game company! Man, where are the Maximals when you need them?  

 

The sound of buzzing filled their ears and Waspinator flew pass them. Suddenly Blaze got an idea. 

 

Blaze: Hey! Waspi! I'll give you something with a lot of sugar if you let us out of here!  

  

Waspinator: Wazzpinator loves sugar but me not know?!

 

Jessie: (thinking) Worthless insect…

 

Blaze: Come on, it's free sugar. If you let us out I promise I'll give you some.

 

Waspinator did so. The two girls thanked Waspinator and Blaze gave him a piece of rock candy that she bought earlier. Jessie and Blaze were trying to find a way out of the base. Jessie stopped for a second but Blaze kept going. She finally found the way out of there without anyone seeing her. And she ran a little further and stopped and realized that Jessie wasn't behind her.

 

Jessie: I wonder who's coming?

 

Voice: Well I think you'll find out! Mwahahahaha!

 

Jessie: RAMPAGE! 

 

Blaze Raptor went back, looking for where Jessie had run off to. She soon found out why Jessie stopped.   

 

Blaze: Is that Rampage!?! Can I eat him pleeeease?  

 

Jessie: No, he's mine  

 

Then, to Rampages surprise, she hugged him.   

 

Rampage: Hey, what are you doing? You're supposed to fear me. Fear me!  

 

Jessie: Wow that was weird! I thought you were someone else.

 

Rampage: So do you fear me?

 

Jessie: Right now I do because you have an odd look on your face! (Whispering to Blaze raptor) Go get help!

 

And with that Blaze raptor runs off to find someone to help her like Dinobot.

 

Rampage: As for you! I can taste your fear!

 

Jessie: That's not right! I knew I should have just stayed in the cell but no!

 

Rampage: Well, too bad you didn't! But it is time to go back to the base, and then I'll figure out what to do to you! Mwahahahaha!

 

Blaze Raptor ran as fast as she could. She had to save her friend!   

 

Blaze: Oh, for once, please let there be a Maximal around here somewhere!  

 

She ran for a while and still no luck. She was about to just go back and try to somehow rescue her friend herself when she saw what looked like Cheetor. She sneaked up closer to him just to make sure it wasn't a Predacon. Sure enough, it was indeed Cheetor  

 

Blaze: Cheetor! Cheetor we need your help!  

 

Cheetor: Woah, a human! What are you doing here? Who are you?  

 

Blaze: Never mind that right now! Rampage has my friend. She needs help now!  

 

Back at the Predacon base~

 

Jessie: You know it's not nice to treat a lady like this!

 

Rampage: Human you may want to stop before you regret it! Because you may not know that I have killed so many people and I wouldn’t mind adding another to my list! I must say you would be the first human I have killed!

 

Jessie: Fi...fine!

 

Jessie saw the Predacon base and began to worry what would happen to her!

 

Megatron: Ahh, how did two humans escape?

 

Jessie: Waspinator let us out! Well, we did have to bribe him with sugar!

 

Megatron: What about your friend?

 

Jessie: I'm not sure! But I do know that you’re an ugly piece of slag!

 

Megatron: When will you learn to be quiet?

 

Jessie: Whenever you stop being ugly!  

 

Megatron: I see that I'll have to think up a special punishment for you, yess!  

 

Meanwhile, Blaze was trying to explain to Cheetor what had happened. She knew time was short and they would have to hurry.  

 

Cheetor: I called the base a cycle ago. They will be sending Dinobot and Rattrap to help us.  

 

Blaze: Good! Come on, let's hurry!  

 

Cheetor- Well, speed is my middle name. Hop on!  

 

The two sped off at full speed towards the Predacon base. When they got to the base they met the other two bots and formed a plan to free Jessie. Blaze was happy to see her favorite character but resisted the urge to scream his name. Inside the Predacon base, Megatron finally decided what to do with the human.   

 

Megatron: I know exactly what to do with you! I've worked a little deal with Rampage. He will get to deal with you first and when he's done...I will give you an up-close-and-personal look at our base's lava pools. Muahaahaha!

 

 

Rattrap: Now tell us Blaze, where did ya see her last? Or do ya rememba where they were keeping you guys at?

 

Blaze: Um... I don't really remember where I lost her but they did keep us in some cages not too far from over there.

She pointed to the place where she had escaped. Dinobot growled a moment in thought.

 

Dinobot: Hmmm....I know where that is.

 

Cheetor: Well what are we waiting for?

 

Blaze: Yeah. They are going to really hurt her if we don't hurry! Come on, let's go!

 

So they all left to try to save Jessie.

 

Back to Jessie~

 

Rampage was thinking of what he wanted to do to Jessie. He wasn't sure there were so many things he could do.

 

Rampage: Hmm, what to do with you? There are so many things I could do but you wouldn't survive them.

 

Jessie: Man you’re insane!

 

Rampage: You really think so? Thank you so much for that lovely observation!

 

Megatron steps in to see what progress was being made. 

 

Megatron: Just remember to leave enough for me.

 

Rampage pouted a little.

 

Rampage: Oh, where's the fun in that? I guess I could leave you something.

 

Suddenly Rampage's mood changed.

 

Rampage: I know! How about we see just how flexible humans really are.  

 

Rampage picked her up by her arms and started to stretch them out very slowly.  

 

Jessie: Hey! Stop that! Stop! Leave me alone!

 

All of a sudden, a loud crash was heard and the Maximals came rushing in. 

 

Blaze: You heard her! Leave her alone! Right now!

 

Rampage let go of Jessie and took out his gun.

 

Rampage: You wanna get shot? If you don't I suggest you leave right now while this one stays with me!

 

The Maximals and Predacons started to attack each other. Rampage shot Dinobot in the back making him go into stasis lock. Cheetor blew up Waspinator right away. Optimus and Megatron were chatting while they were shooting at each other. Rattrap and Quickstrike were in the middle of a mini battle like thing. Inferno was using his flame-thrower on Rhinox. Tarantulas was shooting Silverbolt but then got knocked out. Blaze quickly retreated to a wounded Dinobot and Cheetor.

 

Megatron: Looks like the Predacons win this battle Maximals.

 

Blaze: Yeah, but will be back to get Jessie, you can count on it!

 

The wounded Maximals retreated back to base and so did the wounded Predacons. Jessie was in so much pain she couldn't run for it. Which was her idea in the first place. 

 

Megatron: So, your little friend and those Maximal fools thought they could defeat my plans. Well, you will suffer nonetheless, yesss. Hmm, I may yet have a better plan awaiting you. One that will rid me of the Maximals too, yess!"  

 

So the Predacons started to repair themselves and prepared for Megatron's latest scheme.

 

Megatron: We will use the human as a hostage. Rampage, I want you to watch over her for a while.  

 

Rampage: Of course, oh great one!

 

Rampage grabbed Jessie and kinda continued to stretch her out. He still wanted to see how flexible humans were.

 

Back at the Maximal base~

 

Most of the Maximals needed repairs. Blaze was pacing back and forth thinking of a plan to get her friend away from the Preds.

 

Blaze: I can't believe we just left her there! Who knows what's going to happen to her! I can't just sit here and wait!

  

She didn't know it but Optimus overheard what she had said.  

 

Optimus: I know you want to save her but it's too dangerous right now and a lot of us have to be repaired.

Blaze: I don't care. Look, Optimus, she's my friend and in case you hadn't realized, she's going to be tortured by Megatron and Rampage!

 

Optimus: Blaze, if you'd just calm down...

 

Blaze: No! That's it, Optimus! I don't care if you're too afraid to go but I'll do it even if it means that I have to myself!

  

With that Blaze Raptor stormed out of the Maximal base.

 

Back at the Predacon base~

 

Jessie: Ok, my arm isn't suppose to go that way! Ow! Ow!

 

Rampage: That's what I enjoy about it! I didn't know humans could bend this way!

 

Jessie: Well, my arm can't go that way so I suggest you stop!

 

Tarantulas appeared out of the shadows.

 

Tarantulas: Having fun Rampage?

 

Rampage: Ahh, yes very much!

 

Jessie: I bet you are but I’m not!

 

Tarantulas: Ah, it's so refreshing to see pain like that. May I watch?  

 

Rampage: Of course. And now...let's try it this way!  

 

Jessie: What!?! Hey! Owwwww!  

 

Megatron was finally putting together the last bits of his plan. With the human as a hostage, the Maximals would be forced to give the Beast Wars over to him.  

 

Megatron: The victory will belong to me, yes!  

 

His thunderous laugher was heard all through the base. Rampage and Tarantulas were laughing so hard watching Jessie in so much pain.

 

Jessie: Ok, that's enough.

 

Tarantulas: Are you kidding?! It just got interesting!

 

Rampage: What else could I do to you?

 

 

Blaze Raptor was about halfway to the Predacon base. She spotted Waspinator flying around be he didn't see her. She had to quickly come up with a plan. Blaze Raptor hid behind a bush, looking for something to throw at the robot wasp. She spotted a rock and a large stick.

 

Blaze: Okay, I'm going to have to aim this just right.

 

She hit the rock with the stick like a baseball. Sure enough, the rock hit the wasp dead on. He was knocked out.  

 

Blaze: Wow, I didn't think that would work. I was never really good at baseball either. Anyway, no time to waste!  

 

She started to run again full speed. Back at the Pred base, Rampage and Tarantulas has laughed so much that they were almost at the point of tears.

 

Rampage: I haven't had this much fun in a while.

 

Jessie: Ya, and I haven't been in that much pain in a long time. Thanks!

 

Rampage: Anytime you need pain, come to me!

 

Tarantulas- Anytime I need a good laugh I'll watch this.

 

Tarantulas walked off and went back to his lair. Blaze, out of breath, had finally made it back to the Predacons' base.  

 

Blaze: Now, how am I going to take down Megs and that crab?

 

She stuck around the base looking for some clue as to how she would do that. A weird noise caught her attention and she slowly sneaked up closer to hear what it was. When she came up to a door that she thought the noise was coming from, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. It was Megatron singing! "Hehehe. It must be his bath time," she thought as she carefully entered the room. She looked around in what she guessed was Megs' room. She spotted Rampage's spark box. "Aha! That's it!" she thought. She grabbed the box. Megatron still didn't notice her as she went back out the door. Another idea came to her. She found a way to jam the door so that it would be hard for the purple tyrant to escape then ran around the base the find Jessie.  It wasn't too hard to find her because she was yelling at Rampage to stop the pain. Blaze quietly approached the area that Rampage and Jessie were. Inferno was on monitor duty. He thought that he saw Blaze but he wasn't sure. So he left his place to see if Blaze was in the base or if he was just seeing things.

 

Jessie: You’re messed up. OR FOR THE LAST TIME MY ARM DOESN'T GO THAT WAY! OWWWW!

 

Rampage: But I'll make it go that way! Who would have thought that this would be so fun!? Mwahahahaha!

 

Blaze: (whispering) I must stop Rampage before he really hurts Jessie.

 

Inferno: Burn, human!

 

Blaze: Oh boy, I'm in trouble! Ahhhhhhhh! I'm too young to burn!

 

Rampage heard all the yelling and wondered what in the world was going on. 

 

Rampage: What in the world is that? It's disturbing my fun!

 

Jessie: This isn't fun to me! Let me go!

 

Rampage: I don't think so. Let's go see what it is.

 

Rampage took his little "toy" and found Blaze running from the crazy ant.  

 

Inferno: For the glory of the Royalty!

 

Being too busy running, Blaze didn't see Rampage and ran right into him. She rubbed her aching head.

 

Blaze: Ow!  

 

Rampage: Well, what do we have here? Another playmate, perhaps?

 

Jessie: Yay, no more pain for me!

 

Rampage: No you'll still fell pain, I’ll make sure of it! (evil laugh)

 

Blaze: Playmate? 

 

Rampage: Yes, I said playmate. I wanna see how flexible you are just like I did to your friend.

 

Inferno: For the glory of the royalty!

 

Jessie: Shut-up!

 

Rampage glared at Jessie. Jessie didn't feel like talking back to him again.

 

Inferno: I must take her to the Queen!

 

Rampage: Why? What would he do with her?

 

Blaze: Let me and Jessie go?

 

Jessie silently started to laugh.

 

Inferno: It is up to the queen to decide what he wants to do to you.

 

Jessie: Ya, Rampage, Megatron didn't give you any orders to hurt me!

 

Rampage: So? It's so much fun!

 

Blaze: But I have your spark, Rampage!

 

Blaze held it in the air Rampage quickly snatched it away.

 

Rampage: Muahahahah! You fool! Now that I have all of the pieces of my spark back, no one commands me! Not even Megatron!  

 

Inferno aimed his gun at Rampage.

 

Inferno: No, only the Queen shall rule! You shall burn for this traitor to the Royalty!

 

Rampage put Jessie down for a second.

 

Rampage: Excuse me for a moment but I have a little pest problem to deal with. Oh and don't worry, we will continue our little fun soon.

 

Inferno wasted no time in firing his gun. As the two transformers were being distracted, Jessie and Blaze Raptor decided to get going.  

 

Jessie: I'm not spending another minute with that creep!

 

Quickstrike and Waspinator heard guns firing so they followed the sounds.

 

Waspinator: Wazzpinator found another fleshy-bot!

 

Blaze: Umm....right!

 

Quickstrike: Hey crab-cakes and commander bug! Come on, the fleshy's will get away if we don't stop them!

 

Jessie: Mwahahaha I'm FREE!

 

Inferno: We will continue this later for now. We must make sure the humans don't get away!

 

Jessie: Hahaha, no one can catch me now!

 

Blaze was running down the hallway and she couldn't see because it was so dark. She ran into something. It turned out to be Tarantulas.

 

Jessie: No Blaze, not that way!

 

Tarantulas: Surprise!

 

Blaze: Oh my gosh! (Blaze started to scream)

 

Rampage: Come back. Our fun is just beginning. 

 

Jessie tripped and landed on her face and saw a shadowy figure appear over her. And, who do you think that figure was? None other than Rampage  

 

Jessie: No, not again!

 

Rampage: Now didn't I tell you that we would get back to our fun? But, noooo, here you go running off.  

 

Tarantulas came up to them with Blaze Raptor now captured again too. 

 

Tarantulas: Look what I found.

   

Rampage: Oh, goodie, now I have two to play with! Just think of all the games we are going to play now.

 

Blaze: I'm not going to be a part of any of your games, you big stinking crab. I'm not afraid of you!

 

Rampage: We will see about that! Muahahaha!

 

Back to the Maximals~

  

Optimus stopped in mid-flight to activate his com-link  

 

 Optimus: Optimus to Rhinox. Have you seen any sign of her?

  

 Rhinox's voice came through after a moment "No, Optimus, we are still looking."  

 

 Optimus: Well, contact me as soon as you find anything.

 

He deactivated the link.

 

Optimus: I shouldn't have let her go.  

 

Predacon base~

 

Megatron was still taking a bath. 

 

Jessie: I think you twisted my wrist, you stupid crab!

 

Tarantulas: Hehehehe!

 

Rampage: Wow I could do a lot worse than that if I wanted to and I think I might.

 

Jessie: Ok, ya, my leg doesn't go that way! I'm going to hurt you as soon as I get my strength back!

 

Rampage: I’d like to see you try. You’re just a weak human!

 

Blaze: Tarantulas let go of me!

 

Inferno: I must go see what the Queen is doing. I must protect her.

 

Quickstrike: I feel bad for that fleshy-bot! I'm glad I 'm not her!

 

Waspinator: Wazzpinator and two-head should leave.

 

Quickstrike: I think your right bug-eyes!

 

 Quickstrike and Waspinator left outside to go on a scouting mission.

 

Rampage: it's so much fun torturing you this way. But killing you should be even better.

 

Blaze: Oh that's so sad!

 

Jessie: Not just sad, it'd be sick!  

 

Rampage: Sounds lovely, doesn't it?

  

Megatron finally gets out of the bath to find that Rampage's spark box is missing and that he's been locked in his room. He began banging and kicking the door to no avail. He had no choice but to blast the door open. By this time, Megatron was furious. His bellow could be heard throughout the base  

 

Megatron: Who would dare do this to me!

 

The first person that came into his mind was Rampage  

 

Megatron:  RAMPAGE!!!!!

  

The crab winced as he heard his name yelled by Megatron. The crab sighed.

 

Rampage: Interruptions. Interruptions. Here Tarantulas, hold this one for me. I have to deal with this. Have fun! 

 

Rampage then headed off to deal with Megatron  

 

Tarantulas: Oh, yay, another one!

 

Rampage: I am never going to finish my fun!

 

Jessie: Hey Blaze!

 

Blaze: Jessie right now isn't a good time to be saying hi.

 

Jessie: Why?

  

Tarantulas: Because of me! Hehehehehahaha! Let's see if your hand goes as far back as hers!

 

Tarantulas yanked on Blaze's hand while she's screaming in pain.

 

Rampage: You called, oh great leader!

 

Megatron: You locked me in my quarters and then you took your spark from my quarters!

 

Rampage: I did no such thing.  But I am happy to let you know that you no longer can torture my spark because it's with me!

 

Megatron: See you did take it!

 

Rampage: I did no such thing. Why don't you ask one of the humans. Wait the smaller one was with me. We were having fun but thanks to you I had to stop the pain I was giving her.

 

Megatron: I don't care about your lies. Now, will you willingly give your spark back or will I have to destroy it this time!!

 

Rampage: I'm telling the truth. But even if you don't believe me, what are you going to do about it? You are powerless against me!

 

Megatron: Fine, we shall see how true that is

 

So they go to the prisoners. Tarantulas is busy torturing the girls.

 

Blaze: Would you shut up already!?!?

 

Jessie: Yes, if you don't stop talking about all your stupid experiments, I'll scream!

 

All of a sudden Megatron and Rampage comes in.

 

Rampage: Just ask her.

 

Rampage said, pointing a finger at Blaze.

 

Megatron: You! Did you take Rampage’s spark?

 

Blaze: Maybe. Who wants to know?

 

Megatron: Well, I do you fool!

 

Rampage: Let's hurry this up. I and the other one there must continue the fun we were having!

 

Blaze: Umm...

 

Jessie: Ya she did it!

 

Megatron eyed Blaze.

 

Blaze: JESSIE!

 

Jessie: Sorry. He tricked me.... in some way!

 

Rampage: I don't care. Give her to Tarantulas or someone. I have to continue with the other one.

 

Jessie: Oh my gosh. Sorry, Blaze that slipped out!

 

Rampage grabbed Jessie and walked the other way with her.

 

Megatron: Did it now? Well now we know who did it, the only question is what to do for her punishment?

 

Blaze: I'M GONNA KILL YOU!

 

Megatron gave Blaze a grin and not a very reassuring one, either. Megatron started to speak in a calm tone, which Blaze knew wouldn’t last long. She struggled against Tarantulas’ grip.

 

Megatron: So, human, why is it that you feel that you alone could ever possibly be able to oppose me? That you would best me when those weakling Maximals cannot?”

 

Blaze Raptor said nothing but couldn’t stop the tears of anger and guilt from falling off her face. She couldn’t stand the thought of failing her friend. As Megatron came closer, she glared daggers at the tyrant. He bent down to look her straight in the eye, face set with a small smirk, and began to speak to her as if she was a little child.

 

Megatron: You are pathetic. An insect even compared to the Maximals. I’m wondering if an insignificant, little human like you is even worth my time.

 

That was the last that Blaze could take. To have failed to free her friend and to be spoken to in such a patronizing way was too much. Though she couldn’t free herself from the metal spider, she could still reach Megatron from the position he had now taken. With an angry yell, she kicked him good right where it counts. It took a while for him to get his bearings but when he did, retaliation was almost immediate. He lifted her up from where Tarantulas still held her then slammed her into the metal ground. He picked her up again and sneered in her face. Blaze’s head was spinning and she was dimly aware that she was dangling over a pit of lava that was far below her.

 

Megatron: My patience for you is over!

 

Without another word he dropped her. He watched her fall for a second before he turned and semi-limped away. Tarantulas followed.

 

Megatron: Good riddance. And, my plan for my victory over the Maximals only needs one of the humans, does it not?

 

Tarantulas: Yes, I believe it would. Teeheehee.

 

The seconds before the end of her life seemed to drag on forever as she felt the heat from the fast approaching lava intensify. She closed her tear stained eyes.

 

Blaze: I’m so sorry, Jessie.

 

She thought the end would come any second, but it didn’t. She was near unconscious so couldn’t tell that she was being lifted. She opened her eyes a little and saw a bot setting her on the ground. Dinobot?” She thought before she went completely unconscious.

 

 

Back to poor Jessie~

 

Rampage and Jessie were in a different part of the base. Jessie wasn't having fun with what Rampage was doing to her.

 

Jessie: Owwwwww!

 

Rampage: Bwahahahaha! Stupid human.

 

Back to Megatron~

 

Megatron: Find me that other human right away!

 

Tarantulas: As you command, Megatron.

 

Tarantulas walked off trying to find Jessie.

 

Megatron: that human was such a waste of time, and we have the other one, which will serve us well.

 

Tarantulas found Jessie screaming in pain while Rampage was holding her upside down and bending her legs the wrong way.

 

Rampage: Oh I never get tired of this, do you?

 

Jessie: *screaming in pain*

 

Tarantulas: Sorry to bother your fun, Rampage, but Megatron would like to speak to that human.

 

Rampage: Really? Well as long as it's quick, we have a lot of "fun" to catch up on.

 

Tarantulas walked ahead to the main control room, while Rampage followed behind with Jessie in his hands. Megatron turn around and saw them approach him.

 

Megatron: Ahh yesss, the other human, your friend is...gone. You will help us.

 

Jessie: What to you mean, gone? And I'll never help you.

 

Megatron: I mean she...died. Well you can always look at the lave pit's, hehehehe.

 

Rampage walked over towards to lava pits holding Jessie really close to them.

 

Megatron: Well?

 

Jessie: I'll do it.

 

Megatron: I knew you would see it my way.

 

Jessie: Didn't have much of a choice

 

Megatron: *laughs to himself* You will be used as bait for the Maximals. Since the other is gone they will want to save you, yessss.

 

Jessie: that's your brilliant plan?

 

Megatron: Why, yesss, Then I’ll have won the beast wars.

 

Meanwhile, Blaze Raptor was finally waking up. She slowly opened her eyes and sat up, still feeling a little dazed.

 

Blaze Raptor: Uhhhhh… what happened?

 

She heard someone whispering so she got up and headed towards where the noise was coming from. She soon found Dinobot quietly talking into his com-link while he cautiously peered around a corner. He finished the communication and looked behind him, sensing that he was being watched.

 

Dinobot: Good. You are awake.

 

Blaze Raptor: You saved my life, didn’t you? Thank you!

 

Dinobot merely nodded.

 

Blaze Raptor: How did you get here? I thought you were still back at the base.

 

Dinobot: After the battle, I completed repairs first. When you left, I was ordered to bring you back. You were headed to the Predacon base though I was hoping that you were not foolish enough to take on Megatron’s forces.

 

Blaze Raptor: Well, it may have been foolish but at least trying to save my friend isn’t!

 

Dinobot: And, perhaps, getting yourself thrown into a molten pit of lava was not? You are staying right here.

 

Blaze Raptor: No way! My friend is still captured and I’m going to help save her.

 

Dinobot: There is no time for this. Megatron must be stopped.

 

Back to Megatron~

 

Rampage stepped away from the lava pits and set the young human down.

Megatron: I knew you would see things my way.

Jessie: Ya, whatever, what do you need done?

Rampage: Watch your tone, pathetic human.

Tarantulas: Megatron, the human can gather information from the Maximals.

Megatron: She could but then she'll run off.

Jessie: Drats. Oh well, I'm not needed!

Jessie starts to walk off when she felt cold robotic hands touch her neck. She turned around and saw Rampage then sighed.

 

Jessie: Oh, great.

 

Megatron: You see, my plan is not only to use you as bait for the lovely little trap I have planned for the Maximals, nooo. They will come to rescue you and you, yourself, will active the trap. And, while they are still bewildered…we Predacons will come in to finish them off!

 

Jessie: You can’t do that!

 

Megatron: Oh, yes, I will. Allow me to show you the instrument of their destruction.

 

Megatron walks over to the other side of the room and stands in front on a large metal door. He typed in a code and the door hissed open. A large device could be seen through the doorway.

 

Jessie: What is that thing?

 

Megatron: Oh, just a little something that I’ve been saving. It has the power to rip a cybertronian to pieces. I wonderful device, I must say.

 

Jessie: Well, if it’s so “wonderful” why didn’t you use it before?

 

Megatron: Because it is only effective at a very close range. And getting too close to it will effect anyone near it. That, my dear, is where you come in. I’m almost certain that the device won’t effect humans.

 

Jessie: Almost?

 

Megatron: Well, you can never be too certain. Hahahahahaha. Now, my minions, let’s get started, shall we?

 

So the Preds get started and soon the device is set into place.

 

Megatron: Ah, good. Now, to call our honored guests.

 

Megatron calls the Maximal base and Rhinox answers.

 

Megatron: Well, if it isn’t our dear Rhinox.

 

Rhinox: Megatron!

 

Megatron lets Rhinox get a view of Jessie who was still being tortured by Rampage.

 

Megatron: Please, join our little party. As you can see, one of our guests is having the time of her life, yesss.

 

Rhinox: You release that girl now! And, what have you done with the other!?!

 

Megatron: Ah, yes, I do believe that she has taken a relaxing dip in the lava pits.

 

Rhinox: Noooo!

 

Megatron: Ooh, yesss. So, I would suggest that you Maximals hurry before our festivities end. Megatron out!

 

Megatron ended the transmission and cackled diabolically for a few moments.

 

Megatron: Now all we have to do is wait until those Maximal fools fall into our trap, yesss.

 

Meanwhile at the Maximal base, Rhinox was about to tell Optimus about Megatron’s plans. However, he was caught off guard when Optimus called him.

 

Optimus: Optimus to base! I have just received a report from Dinobot.

 

Rhinox: Optimus? This is Rhinox. We’ve got to defeat Megatron now! He’s destroyed one of the humans.

 

Optimus: No, he hasn’t. Dinobot just reported that he has saved one of the humans but Megatron is still holding the other captive. Tell everyone to meet at the Predacon base immediately. I’ll need you to stay at the base just in case. If I know Megatron, we’re probably going to be walking right into a trap. Optimus out.

 

It wasn’t long before all the Maximals were gathered in front of the base. By Optimus’ orders Rattrap stuck up to the base and placed a bomb on a side of the ship. The explosion caused a large hole that give the Maximals entrance into the dark home of the Predacons.

 

Optimus: This ends now! Let’s move Maximals!

 

The explosion was heard by the waiting Predacon leader.

 

Megatron: It seems that our guests have finally arrived! Waspinator! Inferno! Secure the entrance! And the rest of you get to your places.

 

Inferno: Yes, Royalty!

 

Not long after that the Maximals broke into the room. Cheetor and Silverbolt, who where the first to enter, were immediately shot down by Waspinator and Inferno.

 

Megatron: Why, Primal, so nice of you to join us.

 

Optimus: You let that human go right now!

 

Megatron: I think not! Predacons attack!

 

So, the battle raged on. Little did the Maximals know, they were all being led closer and closer to the evil device. Soon they were within the range of the machine.

 

Megatron: They are in position, yess! Activate the device now!

 

All of the Predacons moved out of the way as Jessie reluctantly activated the machine. The Maximals tried to escape but it was too late. The machine had already started to tear away pieces of their armor. Megatron stood at a distance and gloated.

 

Megatron: Yes! Yesss! No one can stand in my way of world domination now!

 

Rampage walked up to the tyrant with a smirk.

 

Rampage: Oh, really? Now that the Maximals are taken care of, you will have to deal with me! You will pay for all the pain you have caused me.

 

Megatron: Why, you…

 

A shadowy figure stood behind Megatron.

 

Shadowy figure: But first, you are going to have to deal with me!

 

The figure raced by catching Megatron and the crazed crab off guard. Rampage was knocked to the ground and Megatron found that he now had a large gash on his arm. Holding his wound, the Predacon turned around and saw his attacker.

 

Megatron: Dinobot!

 

Dinobot: Surrender now, Megatron!

 

Out of the corner of his eye, Megatron saw Tarantulas walking up with a struggling Jessie with him. Megatron merely chuckled. 

 

Megatron: I do not think so, noo.

 

Megatron pointed to where Jessie was being held captive.

 

Megatron: You will surrender or the human dies.

 

? unknown ?: Hey, Loser! He doesn’t have to do anything you say!

 

Megatron saw Blaze Raptor who waved mockingly at him and pointed to the machine’s now deactivated controls. He also saw that the Maximals had already recovered and were surrounding his troops. While distracted, Dinobot saved Jessie from the clutches of Tarantulas.

 

Jessie: Blaze?

 

Megatron: You!?! How many times will I have to destroy you!

 

Blaze Raptor: It’ll take more than you to get rid of me, Megs.

 

Megatron: This time I’ll make sure you stay dead!

 

Megatron powered up his tail cannon and fired at Blaze Raptor.

 

Before they stuck the human, Megatron’s blasts froze in mid-air. Everything stopped then went black. Jessie and Blaze Raptor opened their eyes to find that they were back at the arcade with several people staring at them. Jessie sat up a little bit.

 

Jessie: Oh, my head…

 

A couple of the employees from arcade helped them up.

 

One of the employees: Are you ladies all right?

 

Blaze Raptor: Uhhh, maybe as soon as my head stops pounding.

 

They were offered some painkillers and lead to the manager’s office to explain what had happened. Later on that day, Jessie and Blaze sat at one of the tables at the arcade.

 

Jessie: I can’t believe that they would let a game like that be in the arcade. Especially when they told us that the game was out of order. I mean, there were no signs or anything on the game about that.

 

Blaze Raptor: Yeah, I know! But, on a brighter side, at least we get unlimited free games at the arcade from now on.

 

Jessie: Yeah that’s true. Still, that felt too real to be just a game. I don’t ever want to ever go through that again.

 

Blaze shuddered a little and sighed.

 

Blaze Raptor: Yeah.

 

A sudden scream, followed by the sound of a group of people running, broke their conversation.

Jessie: Oh no. Blaze what's going on?

Blaze Raptor: Oh no. But, we ended the game this can't be happening... can it?

Blaze and Jessie walked to the window and saw Megatron and Rampage shootings at buildings and people.

Rampage: After the girl is killed I will finish you off.

Megatron: I doubt that, but yesss. And I will find the other human and make sure she is dead.

Tarantulas appeared out of nowhere and started shooting his machine gun, while cackling.

Jessie: Oh no... What do we do? They’re never going to leave us alone.

Blaze Raptor: I think... Oh I don't know, Jessie we have to do something.

Jessie: I am not risking myself so I can get killed by a lunatic crab. Nope, never Blaze.

Meanwhile people are screaming and running around trying to escape the Predacons. Rampage found this very amusing as did the others, but Rampage was cackling.

Blaze Raptor: Jessie we have to get out of here and besides they’re coming closer. We’d better go...

All of the sudden the door opened. Jessie and Blaze hid behind and under some games; Jessie was under the DDR game, and Blaze was on the other side by the Beast Wars game. Jessie and Blaze were trying as hard as they could to be quiet. Jessie had to cover her mouth cause she was breathing so hard. And then she randomly started to crack up laughing. Blaze on the other hand was being as quiet as a mouse.

Megatron: Tarantulas you check on the left side, and Rampage you check on the right side, I shall check in back of the room.

Unfortunately, Jessie was on the left side and Blaze Raptor was on the right side. Tarantulas quickly grabbed his gun, and started to walk closer and closer to Jessie.

Rampage: Rampage Terrorize!

Rampage switched out of his tank mode, and took out his missile launcher and slowly started to walk towards Blaze. Jessie shifted her rotation and bumped her head.

Jessie: Ouch!

Tarantulas: huh?

Tarantulas could hear Jessie but couldn't see her as he made his way pass DDR. Jessie looked at Blaze and knew that she had to do something before Rampage found her. Megatron was in the back of the room seeing if either Blaze or Jessie were hiding out in the back. Jessie crawled out from underneath the DDR game. She pressed the start button accidentally and the game started to play music indicating you could choose the song you wanted.

Jessie: Oh…shoot, no, no.

Tarantulas: What the…by the pit?!

Tarantulas looked and spotted Jessie, as did Rampage.

Rampage: Haha, you!

Tarantulas: Teeheehee!

Jessie: Oh no.

Jessie ran out of that store and ran for her life into a different store. Blaze saw Jessie run but still stayed hidden behind the Beast Wars game.

Rampage: Oh no you don't!

Rampage took off of running leaving Tarantulas, Blaze Raptor, and Megatron, who finally came out of the back room.

Jessie quickly ran into the nearest store, which was 'Hot Topic'.

Rampage: Hmm…now where did she go?

Megatron: Any sign of the humans, Tarantulas?

Tarantulas: Yes actually, One of the humans went running off, I am still trying to find the other one.

Blaze's teeth started to chatter. Meanwhile out of the mall the town was empty, either people were hurt/ dead or they were at their homes. Two shadowy figures appeared.

One of the shadowy figures: Are you sure you saw Megatron come this way?

The other figure: Yes I am. Now I must find Blaze and destroy Megatron.

The two figures switched to robot mode. The two mysterious figures turned out to be Silverbolt and Dinobot.

Dinobot: You will get the other human, Blaze’s friend.

Silverbolt: Will do. So I must find…Rampage most likely.

Dinobot started to chuckle for a second. He started to walk off but then turned and faced his comrade.

Dinobot: Err, good luck.

Silverbolt: Same to you.

Dinobot: Now off we go! Those two humans are counting on us.

Silverbolt nodded his head, transformed to beast mode and flew off in the direction of the mall. Dinobot quickly transformed to his raptor mode and was off running as quickly as he could.

Tarantulas: I know I heard something. Did you, Megatron?

Megatron: Yesss… Now hush, you fool! Maybe we'll hear it again.

Blaze quietly crawled from the Beast Wars game. She looked over to the corner and saw the tyrant and the arachnid so she crawled back into the other corner.

 

Meanwhile Jessie knew she couldn't hide forever, she rolled across the store and saw no sign of Rampage, so she began to get up.

Jessie: Ummm.... Oooooook. Haha. No sign of old crab cakes.

One side of the store began to look as if it would fall on Jessie. She ran out of the store and looked and saw none other than Rampage in his tank mode cackling as usual.

Rampage: You think you can keep hiding from me, eh? Well this is the end of the line. Rampage Terrorize!

Rampage transformed and hovered over the weak human. Jessie rolled underneath Rampage between his legs and darted off as quickly as possible. She ran to the elevator not knowing that Rampage saw her this time.

Megatron: Why don't we just blast every one of these devices, yesss!

Tarantulas: Teeheehee. As you wish.

Megatron fired his tail gun at DDR, Blaze wrapped her arms around her head since pieces of the game were flying everywhere and quite a few of the smaller pieces hit Blaze around the face.
Blaze stood up, as Tarantulas shot the Beast Wars Game; somewhat damaging it, but not too much. Both Tarantulas and Megatron saw her stand.

Silverbolt flew through the glass window and howled, gliding through the mall searching the lower level first out of three levels. Meanwhile, Jessie thought she would make it to the elevator but it closed right as she reached it. She pressed the button over and over as fast as she could. Rampage slowly walked towards the frightened human, with an evil grin on his robotic face.

Meanwhile, Dinobot was still searching for Blaze.

Dinobot: Fear not Blaze help is on the way. You'll pay for this Megatron, I promise you! Dinobot Maximize!

Dinobot reached for his sword and started scouting the third level.

Megatron: Ah, there you are. Now to make sure you die for real this time, yessss!

Blaze was so scared, she has never been this afraid in her life but tried as hard as she could not to show it.

Tarantulas: Tehehahaha! You and your friend will both be destroyed at last.

Jessie: Oh no, man there's nowhere to go, man! Errr....

Rampage: Mwahahaha...

Jessie: No, no, this can't be the end!

Jessie looks around. She was so tired of running, she could feel pain in her legs from running so hard. She saw a glimpse of Silverbolt's wing. She had to keep running, her life depended on it. But Rampage, on the other side, was enjoying every minute of this little game.

Rampage: You can't go anywhere, it's time for us to finish our fun we started... Mwahahaha...

Back to Blaze~

Blaze ran as fast as she could. Tarantulas started to fire his machine gun, cackling. Megatron grinned and did the same, firing his tail cannon. Blaze ran up the stairs leading to the third level, the same level as Dinobot, but Blaze was on one side of the mall, and Dinobot was, unfortunately, on the other.

Megatron: Tarantulas, find Rampage tell him to grab the other human and meet us on the third level with the human alive!

Tarantulas: As you wish, Megatron.

Megatron transformed to flight mode and followed Blaze. Tarantulas switched to his motorcycle mode and sped off to find Rampage and Jessie.

Back to Silverbolt~

Silverbolt: It shouldn't be this hard to find them. I just hope I'm not to late.

Silverbolt flew off howling. Dinobot, on the other hand, thought he was getting closer.

Dinobot: When I find you Megatron I will rip your processor out for this.

Jessie: Crap.. crap... what way? What way?

 

Rampage: Give up already. There's nowhere to go!   

 

The elevator finally came up and Jessie ran in. Rampage, unfortunately, jammed the door.  

 

Rampage: Don't be shy. Come out and play. He said while throwing the human out of the elevator.  

 

Jessie: Aaaahhhh...  

 

Fortunately, Silverbolt caught her and flew her safely away.  

 

Silverbolt: Hang on. I'm going to get you out of here.  

 

Jessie: How did you...  

 

Rounds of fire cut her off.   

 

Silverbolt: No time for explanations, my friend. We must find the others. Silverbolt to Dinobot...  

 

Meanwhile, Dinobot was still searching after he got the message that the other human was okay.

 

The first place that Blaze ran into was a sporting goods store. She threw down all kinds of sports balls on the floor and threw whatever else she could find but it didn't do much to slow Megatron down. He simply hopped over the mess on the floor and dodged the flying objects. 

 

Blaze: Stay away from me! Help! Somebody help me!   

 

Megs: I think not, no! There's no one to save you now!  Or is there?  

 

 

Megs suddenly fired a few shots behind him. He turned around and no one was there. 

 

Megs: Good! I grow tired of these last minute heroics. Now where was?  

 

He grabbed Blaze as she started to sneak away.   

 

Megs: Now to finish you!  

 

Dinobot: Wrong!  

 

Dinobot rammed his sword through Megs. Blaze got free but Megs knocked DB down. Blaze came over to help him while Megs was busy getting the sword out.    

 

Blaze: Come on, we've got to get out of here   

 

Dinobot: No! I will not run from battle  

 

Blaze: But, where’s Jessie?

 

Dinobot: She is fine. She's with Silverbolt.  

 

Blaze: Good, then tell them to meet me at the arcade. I have an idea.  

 

Blaze ran off before DB could protest and had just enough time to relay the message before Megs attacked. Blaze, Jessie, and Silverbolt met in the arcade.  

 

Jessie: Blaze! You're okay!  

 

Blaze: Yes. Now, I think I know how to stop this. Since the Beast Wars game brought us to their world and then brought us back when the tech guys did something to it...    

 

Jess: You think it brought the Beast Warriors here too?    

 

Blaze: Yeah. And, maybe if we destroy the game, it will send them back.

 

Little did they know that Tarantulas was spying on them from the ceiling. Blaze turned to Silverbolt.

 

Blaze: Do you think that you can use one of your wing missiles on the game without there being a large explosion?

 

Jessie: Like the mall wasn’t destroyed enough.

 

Silverbolt: I’m not sure but I’ll give it a Maximal try.

 

The two girls ran away from where the game was and hid behind some overturned tables. Silverbolt raised a wing missile in his hand, preparing to take careful aim. Right before he was about to throw it, a string of web stuck on the weapon and pulled it up.

 

? unknown ?: Now we can have any of that, now can we?

 

They heard Tarantulas laugh and looked up. Tarantulas attacked Silverbolt, making him drop his weapon. Silverbolt struggled to reach for it but could not get out of the transmetal spider’s hold.

 

Blaze: Oh-no!

 

Jessie: We have to get that weapon and destroy the game!

 

Blaze: Wait, it’s too…

 

Before she could finish, Jessie already started to go after the weapon. Meanwhile in another part of the mall, the cops and fire rescue personnel were searching the mall for any survivors when they heard noise coming from that arcade. They started heading that way until they were stopped by Rampage.

 

Rampage: What do we have here?

 

Rampage transformed and walked closer to them.

 

Cop: Freeze or we will fire!

 

Rampage: Now won’t that be interesting?

 

The demented crab laughed and continued to walk towards them. The officer gave the order to fire. However, after seeing their shots having no effect, they began to retreat.

 

Rampage: Aww, leaving? But we haven’t finished our fun yet!

 

He transformed into his tank mode and began to pursue the retreating police officers.

 

Back in the arcade, Silverbolt was defeated by Tarantulas and the Predacon was heading towards Jessie.

 

Blaze: Jessie, look out!

 

She picked up whatever she found and began to throw it at Tarantulas, trying to slow him down.

 

Jessie: You stay away from me, you stupid spider!

 

Tarantulas: Teeheehee…Ow!

 

Something heavy hit his head.

 

Tarantulas: Why you little…!

 

The spider dodged the thrown objects as he started to attack Blaze. He grabbed her right before she was about to throw something else.

 

Tarantulas: I’ll teach you how to show a little respect!

 

Blaze: Ah! Jessie! Destroy the game! Hurry!

 

Jessie: Okay!

 

Jessie aimed for the game and threw the weapon at it. Jessie ducked just in time before the game exploded. For a few seconds nothing happened but then the lights started to flicker. Jessie was blown next to Silverbolt and noticed that he was starting to fade. She looked over to where Blaze and Tarantulas were and noticed that he was starting to disappear.

 

Blaze: Jessie, it’s working!

 

Silverbolt woke up and looked at his vanishing hands.

 

Silverbolt: What is happening?

 

Jessie: Wee destroyed the machine. It looks like it’s working.

 

Jessie gave him a hug.

 

Silverbolt: It was my pleasure. Fair well, m’lady.

 

Jessie: Bye!

 

The next moment, Silverbolt and Tarantulas vanished. Meanwhile, the cops who were running away from Rampage noticed that he had stopped pursuing them. They watched in amazement as he started to disappear.

 

Rampage: Awww…

 

Cop: Something is happening to it. Come on, we have to hurry. There may be survivors still in this building! Let’s move!

 

The cop led a few members of his squad and the fire rescue towards the arcade.

 

On the other side of the mall, Dinobot and Megatron were still fighting.

 

Megatron: Give up, traitor! You cannot defeat me!

 

The two bots froze as the lights above them began to flicker and they started to fade. Dinobot chuckled.

 

Dinobot: It would seem that you are the one who is defeated, Megatron!

 

Megatron saw himself start to vanish and realized that the humans found a way to send him back.

 

Megatron: Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

Jessie, Blaze and the fire rescue team that had just arrived all heard Megatron's final cry of defeat. The girls were lead out of the arcade just before part of the roof that was weakened by the explosion caved in.

 

Jessie: Blaze, you think it’s over now?

 

Blaze: I really hope so.

 

The girls finally got to go home and rest from their adventure. The nightmare was finally over.
