A WARRIOR'S DESTINY, PART 2
(At the Autobot Base on Cybertron, Autobot astronomer Astroscope contacts Ultra Magnus)
Astroscope: Ultra Magnus, this is Astroscope of Cybertron Astronomy. There is an unidentified object heading towards the planet. We've just noticed this. It's been near Cybertron for some time, but it is now mobile. What do we do, sir?
Ultra Magnus (via intercom/comlink): Moonbase-1, Moonbase-2, ready all defenses. Hardhead, turn Fortress Maximus' defenses online and fire at will!
(Cybertron and its planets begin firing at the approaching Unicron. Within the Chaos Bringer's planet form...)
Galvatron: Foolish Autobots. They don't realize what they're dealing with!
???: You assume too much, Galvatron.
(Galvatron turns around to see an oddly shaped creature standing before him)
Galvatron: Who are you?
???: I am Alpha Quintesson, guardian of Unicron's spark. I was once ruler of Quintessa until I was overthrown and banished. (Switches to a "Happy" face) Luckily, I found Unicron and got all happy inside! (Switches to a "Angry" face) But I swear that we shall destroy Quintessa for what they did! Destroy! Destroy!
Galvatron: The guardian of Unicron's spark... is a lunatic. [Pot calling kettle black]
Alpha Quintesson (Normal): Wait... I sense something. I sense a young one, who has much potential... yet it is wasted by his kind. (Walks/crawls up to the restrained Hot Rod) Yes... you must be the Autobot Hot Rod. You should join us....
Hot Rod: Never!
Alpha Quintesson: Heh... you say that now. But will you say it... when we show you Unicron's full capabilities?
(At Moonbase-1, two Autobots are witnessing Unicron's approach)
Meister: Unidentified object heading at intense speed!
Blow-Out: Are you sure, Meister? How can anything that size...?
Meister: I don't know, Blow-Out, but it's coming in- (Unicron suddenly stops) Wait... it's stopped.
(Inside Unicron-)
Alpha Quintesson: Now... watch.
(Unicron opens his maw and begins to consume Moonbase-1)
Blow-Out: What in the Pit?! Magnus, this is Moonbase-1! We're under attack! That... that thing is eating us alive! Send help-!
(Unfortunately, the moon and the Autobots stationed on it are completely devoured by the Chaos Bringer)
Alpha Quintesson (Happy): That was funny! (Normal face; to Hot Rod) Now do you see the power? Keep this in mind. It may help you decide upon your destiny.
(Elsewhere, the Wreckers' ship enters the Galactan system....)
Galactan security: Autobot ship, you are cleared to land.
(Once the Xantium lands, Springer and his team disembarks....)
Springer: All right, Wreckers- roll out!
(Meanwhile, an innocent janitor robot is happily doing his chores. Suddenly, Razorclaw appears in front of him)
Janitor: May I help-?
(Bye-bye, Janitor.)
Razorclaw: Reptillion, get the others.
(Back on Cybertron, the Autobots are fighting against bug-like drones sent by Unicron)
Ironfist: Magnus, this is Ironfist! Bunch of creepy-crawly bugs are- (comlink cuts out)
Ultra Magnus: Ironfist? Come in! Flak, head to Ironfist's location!
Flak: On it! (He soon meets up with Ironfist)
Ironfist: Hey, Flak.
Flak: Hey. You really think I'd leave all the fun to you?
Ironfist: No, you're not the one to leave "fun" to anyone, are you?
(Within Unicron....)
Alpha Quintesson (Angry face): Raargh! Never leave drones to do a Chaos God's work!
Galvatron: Why don't I go, then?
Alpha Quintesson (Normal face):... Good idea.
(Back on Galactan, the Wreckers stand in front of a shady looking building)
Whirl: I've got a bad feeling about this.
Roadbuster: Gee, you think? Looks pretty obvious....
Springer (to the building): Let us in!
"Doorman": What do ya' want?
Springer: I want you to let us in.
"Doorman": Fine. (The door opens and the Wreckers walk in)
Springer: Nobody move. Where's your boss?
???: Right here. I am Cryotek, the galaxy's number one crime boss. [Way to get yourself in trouble] And just who are you?
Springer: I'm the Talker, you're the Listener. You are one of our top suspects of the disappearance of two Autobots.
Cryotek: And what exactly would I do with two Autobots?
Whirl (aside): He's got a point, you know....
Springer (aside): Shut up, Whirl. (To Cryotek) Show me your prisoners!
Cryotek: And why should I do what you- (Springer holds a blaster to his head) Oh. Backslash, get the prisoners in here!
Backslash: Right.
(The prisoners turn out to be a bunch of Decepticons)
Springer: *sigh* All right, never mind. You may go about- (Suddenly, the ceiling explodes!) GET DOWN!
Roadbuster: SHOOT ANYTHING THAT MOVES! SHOOT ANYTHING THAT MOVES!
(The one who caused the explosion turns out to be Razorclaw and his fellow Heralds of Unicron.)
Razorclaw: Autobots! Know that I am Razorclaw, and that while I bear a symbol like an Autobot... I am not one of you.
(Back on Cybertron-)
Cyclonus (via intercom): Lord Galvatron! You've returned!
Galvatron: Indeed I have, Cyclonus.
Cyclonus: Nemesis Prime has freed the Decepticons from the Stockade. What are your orders?
Galvatron: Follow me lead.
(Meanwhile, the Autobots have finished fighting Unicron's bug drones.)
Ironfist: That's the last of 'em!
Flak: Ironfist, look!
(Ironfist sees the Decepticons flying in the distance, heading for Unicron) Ironfist: Well, holy energon. (He contacts the Autobot base) Magnus, the Decepticons are leaving!
Thunder Clash: What?!
Ironfist: Don't believe me? See for yourself.
(Within Unicron....)
Alpha Quintesson: Well, it seems Galvatron has brought friends. (To Hot Rod) Have you changed your mind yet? We are now heading to the next Moonbase. Join us, and we might consider sparing your friends.
(On Earth, at Autobot City-)
Optimus Prime: Anything, Jazz?
Jazz: Negative, Prime.
(They are contacted by Longarm) Longarm: This is Longarm of Cybertron Intelligence!
Optimus Prime: We read you, Longarm.
Longarm: Good. I'm sending reinforcements to Earth. We heard you needed help.
Optimus Prime: We need all the help we can get. I just hope it can let us find Hot Rod and Rapid Run....
(Back at Unicron-)
Alpha Quintesson: What will it be, Autobot? We're drawing closer.
Rapid Run: Don't do it, kid....
Alpha Quintesson: Well?
Hot Rod: I don't know.
Alpha Quintesson: Is that so? In that case, you may say goodbye to your friends.
(Back on Galactan, the Wreckers are getting their butts kicked by Razorclaw and his buddies)
Whirl: Springer! He's too powerful!
Razorclaw: Tremble beneath the power of Unicron!
Springer: "Unicron"?
Whirl: Here's what I think of your Unicron power!
(He shoots at Razorclaw but misses. The Herald then flings a blade at Whirl, stabbing him)
Razorclaw: Weakling.
Roadbuster: Whirl! (He rushes to his comrade's side)
Whirl: Don't... worry about m-me, Roadbuster....
Roadbuster (firing at the Heralds): CURSE YOU!
Razorclaw: Reptillion, now!
(Reptillion brings a staff and uses it to teleport the Wreckers to Unicron)
Alpha Quintesson: Eh?
Springer: Hot Rod?
Hot Rod: Springer?!
Alpha Quintesson (Happy face): Heh! You're too late, Autobots! (Outside, Unicron looms over Moonbase-2) Far to late! BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
