The Transformers, Issue 16: Expansion, Chapter Six

CURSED LEGACY
   (We start out with pictures of the Matrix of Leadership and those who had carried it. The narration will give you a better idea)

   Narrator person: We are Primus. We are Prima. We are Nova Prime. We are Zeta Prime. We are Sentinel Prime. We are Optimus Prime. We were created by Primus himself to preserve all Transformer life. But now that the Fallen brother had returned, all life will be doomed. Prima. Nova Prime. Zeta Prime. Sentinel Prime. Optimus Prime. We are one.

   (On Cybertron, which is back under Decepticon control thanks to Megatron's return)

   Shockwave: It is a pleasure to have you back, my liege.

   Megatron: Not now, Shockwave. Banzai-Tron, come in.

   Banzai-Tron: Agent Banzai-Tron, reporting.

   Megatron: How is Operation: Raid going?

   Banzai-Tron: We are about to start Phase Two, my liege.

   Megatron: Excellent. Megatron, out. [That was quick] Shockwave, send the Ultracons to eliminate the remaining Elite Guard.

   Shockwave: Yes, my liege. Ratbat, this is Shockwave. The Ultracons are to begin their mission.

   Ratbat: Right. Ultracons... awaken!

   (Meanwhile, at the Autobot base on Earth)

   Prowl: You okay, Prime?

   Optimus Prime: Yes, Prowl, I'm fine. It's just... I'm trying to figure out who's responsible for all this- Wait. I've found something.

   (He brings up an image of Nova Prime)

   Optimus Prime: Nova Prime. Last leader of the Guardians. Hmm... Expansion... Harvester? Let's see-

   (He comes up with an image of the Harvester thing in Egypt)

   Optimus Prime: Oh, Primus...

   Bumblebee: What is it?

   Optimus Prime: No....

   Prowl: Prime?

   Optimus Prime: Prowl, secure all communication systems.

   Prowl: Okay....

   Optimus Prime: Perceptor, send a warning to all human governments!

   Bumblebee: Prime, what's wrong?!

   Optimus Prime: Not now, Bumblebee. Ironhide, get all defenses online! We have a rough day up ahead.

   (Elsewhere, on Cybertron)

   Banzai-Tron: Gutcruncher, take Combat Team with you. Krok, Treadshot, you're with me.

   Slicer: Slicer and Axer, reporting in. [Oh, no! It's the Attack of the ACTION MASTERS!]

   Banzai-Tron: Good.

   Gutcruncher: The Autobot command post is this way.

   (The Decepticons arrive at the command post, where a pair of Autobot guards try to stop them)

   Guard #1: Halt!

   Guard #2: No 'con allowed-

   Gutcruncher: Shut up. (He shoots and kills the two guards and the 'cons enter the base)

   Banzai-Tron: Slicer, you know your duties.

   (At the Computer Center-)

   Mainframe: Commander, this is Mainframe. The Central Computer's been sliced!

   Push-Button: Er, they're trying to break in, sir.

   (The Decepticons kick the door in and enter the room)

   Push-Button: Ahh!

   Banzai-Tron: Seize them!

   (At the Command Center-)

   Thunderclash: Magnus, we're need to evacuate! There's been a security breach!

   (The Autobots soon begin evacuating) Thunderclash: Move it!

   Slicer: Perfect. Operation: Raid is a success.

   (On Earth, a bunch of beams of energies are shooting towards the sky, caused by Nova Prime)

   Ironhide: Leaking lubricants. What is this?

   Optimus Prime: I don't know, Ironhide. And I'm afraid to find out.

   (Flashback! To six million years ago!)

   Jhiaxus: Nova? We're ready.

   Nova Prime: Right. Zeta, I'm leaving you in charge.

   Zeta Prime: Yes, sir.

   (Nova's ship leaves and we flash forward a thousand years later, where Nova Prime and his crew end up in the Dead Universe and face their future master)

   Nova Prime: Oooh. What the-? (A claw grabs him) *Hurk!*

   The Fallen: You dare disrupt by slumber?

   Nova Prime: W-who are you?

   The Fallen: My name's been lost for eons. Call me the Fallen.

   Nova Prime: Let me... go!

   The Fallen: If you insist... but on one condition: you follow me and my plans.

   Nova Prime: What... are your... plans?

   The Fallen (begins showing holograms): This is a Harvester. It can absorb a star's power. I need that power for my master. With that, the universe will be made in our image, similar to your "expansion" ideas. Join me, and everything shall be yours. Everything....

   (Present!)

   Nova Prime:... Shall be mine!

   (On Cybertron....)

   Starscream: So, now that we have taken over half of the planet... what do we do now?

   Megatron: Excellent question, for once. (He shows the Seeker a... thingmajig)

   Starscream: What is that?

   Megatron: It is the AllSpark, Cybertron's core. Once I find out the entrance to the core, I will be able to control Cybertron!

   (Elswhere, Totally-Not-Sideways from issue...12? observes Megatron's boasts)

   Totally-Not-Sideways: Don't be so sure, Megatron. You have a whole lot ahead of ya'. (Cue evil laughter)

   To be continued [Yeah, not my best. Mostly filler]
