SHATTERED, PART 1
(On Cybertron, two Autotroopers are guarding the Space Bridge Nexus)
Autotrooper #1: Perceptor, the space bridge are all clear.
Perceptor: Excellent. You may return to Autobot Base.
Autotrooper #2: Roger that.
(As they leave, one of the space bridge starts to act weird. Later, the Autotroopers lead Breakaway to the Nexus)
Autotrooper #1: The Space Bridge leading to Bhul V is up and ready. There you go.
Breakaway: Thanks.
Autotrooper #2: Have a good trip, sir.
(Breakaway goes through the portal... only to end up back on Cybertron)
Breakaway: Huh?! This is Cybertron!
???: Of course it's Cybertron, you idiot.
(Breakaway turns around to see Rodimus Prime, only in black and purple!)
Breakaway: Rodimus Prime?!
Hot Rod: Rodimus Prime? It's Hot Rod, you dolt! Now come on, Prime's waiting.
(He leads Breakaway to what appears to be an Autobot Fortress, where they find a purple Optimus Prime!)
Hot Rod: My lord, Breakaway has returned.
Optimus Prime: Excellent. How was your visit to Bhul?
Breakaway: Er, I didn't even got their, sir.
Optimus Prime: Oh, let me guess; everyone died before you got their. I understand. Heh, wouldn't be the first time! Come one, let's go the Execution Chamber. Lower the cage!
(A cage lowers over a smelting pool. Inside it is a Decepticon)
Optimus Prime: Ruckus, you've been spotted trespassing in Autobot territory. You know that's not a good thing.
(He shoots at the cage's chain and Ruckus plunges into the smelting pool and dies)
Breakaway: Prime! You can't do that!
Optimus Prime: Really? Oh, that's right. This is supposed to be your turn this month to execute the prisoner.
Breakaway: No! Look, I may not like 'Cons as much as the next 'bot, but they don't deserve... that! Look, I... can't stand this. You're crazy! I'm leaving!
SG Optimus: Oh, so unwise.
Breakaway: What did you-?! (He gets shoot down and then thrown out the fortress)
(In the prime reality, news reporters Rook (no relation to Jhiaxus' buddy) and Andromeda report the news)
Rook: Hello, fellow Cybertronian. Apparently, the Stockade is cursed. At least a dozen Decepticons have been freed. By who, you may ask? ...I have no idea. But Sprocket does.
Sprocket: Thanks, Rook. A breakout like this hasn't happen since... uh... a while ago. So, uh, now they're in hyperspace. Great.
(Elsewhere, on the planet Kadox in the Necrosis system....)
Crankcase?: Thunderwing, look!
Thunderwing: Deathsaurus?! How did you escape and how did you find us?
Deathsaurus: I got lucky... and an old friend gave me directions. His name is Doubledealer. And I'd like to help you in the search for Lord Galvatron.
Thunderwing: Hm... very well. Is every Decepticon here? (Deathsaurus nods) Then transform and RISE UP!
(In the Shattered Glass reality, Breakaway awakens to find Constructicons working over him)
SG Hook: AHHH!
Breakaway: AHHH!
SG Scrapper: What is it, Hook?
SG Hook: It's... it's an Autobot!
Breakaway: Decepticons! What do you want from me?!
SG Scrapper: Go get Megatron.
SG Hook: Yes, sir!
Breakaway: Megatron...?
SG Scrapper: Sir, I believe he's another one of those... multiverse beings.
SG Megatron: Well, Starscream, it seems you were right.
Breakaway: What's going on?!
SG Megatron: Autobot... we have to talk.
(Meanwhile, at the evil Autobots' fortress)
SG Drench: My lord, we have subdued the Decepticon forces in Altihex.
SG Optimus Prime: And Polyhex?
SG Drench: Well, Straxus' forces are many....
SG Optimus Prime: Hmph, understandable. Kalis?
SG Drench: All Decepticon forces dead-
SG Optimus Prime: Didn't I specifically want some of them alive?
SG Drench: Er, well... we had no choice.
SG Optimus Prime: And haven't yo taken care of larger forces before?
SG Drench: Er, well, this is different!
SG Optimus Prime: Not to me. (He then mutilates and kills Drench) Let this be a reminder for any further failures. Goldbug, you're in charge.
SG Goldbug: As you wish, Lord Optimus Prime.
SG Sideswipe: My lord, was that really necessary?
SG Optimus Prime: Do you oppose my will, Sideswipe?
SG Sideswipe: Er, no, my lord....
SG Optimus Prime: Good, now return to your duties.
(In the prime reality, the good Optimus Prime speaks with Axiom Trion)
Axiom Trion: You wanted to see me, Optimus?
Optimus Prime: Ultra Magnus said he was discharged from duty for disobedience.
Axiom Trion: Well, yes. You see, since you and Rodimus were busy, I gave orders... and Magnus disobeyed mine. (sighs) Beta Minor told me he was reckless....
Optimus Prime: ...If you say so. [That was lame]
(Elsewhere, the Mystery Figure and his master stand over Galvatron's body, with the latter chanting in an illegible language)
Mystery Figure: ...What the heck are you saying?!
Mystery Master: You have at least reached the final stage of your destiny. First, you were Megatron, quite naive, yet cunning. Second, you were Galvatron; you thought you were more powerful than Unicron... that led to many failures. Now... you shall end as you began. Arise... SUPER MEGATRON!
