CITY OF LINUS
(At Linus City, the capital of the planet Linus, Wingblade is showing Pyro and co. around at the city's capitol, the Hub)
Wingblade: ...And this is the Hall of Heroes, where we display statues of Linus' past leaders. Linus, Linea, Viscus, Animus, and out current leader, Dynamus!
Pyro: Uh, yeah, great. Can you just show us where the reinforcements are?
Rapido: And you have a pub?
Wingblade: Oh, alright. AT-834! Take them to Room 234.
AT-834: Yes, sir. (To Pyro and co.) Follow me.
(The Autotrooper leads the Autobots to the room... where they are confronted by Cryotek)
Cryotek: Welcome! We would be honored if you would join us.
Pyro: Cryotek! What are you-?!
Autotroopers: Put down your weapons. (They forcefully take away the Autobots' weapons)
Cryotek: I was hired by your "friend" Wingblade for special purposes. [Oh, snap, it's Empire Strikes Back all over again]
Pyro: And what would that be?
Cryotek: If you must know.... (He points out a window to a fleet of alien ships in Linus' sky) I would like to introduce you to a new galactic organization: the Cybertronian Empire!
Pyro (to Wingblade): And you did this... why?
Cryotek: Never mind him. Come, and witness the fall of Dynamus-!
(An Autotrooper captain- the same one from last issue- arrives and points his gun at the back of Cryotek's head)
Captain: I don't think so. (He blasts Cryotek's head off, killing the crime lord. After ordering the Autotroopers to stand down, he says to Pyro and co.:) Go, before more of his type come.
(Meanwhile, on the Cybertronian flagship, the Twilight....)
Jhiaxus: Rook, set up the main cannons. Linus shall fall!
(At the Stockade-)
Deathsaurus: Thunderwing?! Where have you been?
Thunderwing: Somewhere in the Karn system. I'm only here to free Bludgeon and his little squad.
Deathsaurus: What?! I command you to free me! I am your superior!
Thunderwing: Perhaps... but way back when, Megatron told me to become leader if you were to fail. (He then frees Bludgeon and the Mayhem Attack Squad) So long.
Deathsaurus: Don't leave me! TRAITORS!
(Back on Linus-)
Jolt: What are we going to do now?
Pyro: I don't know, Jolt, but I have an idea. Leadfoot, head into that abandoned warehouse and see if there's anything useful.
Leadfoot: Right. (Inside the warehouse) Boy, is this place sure is empty... except for those boxes of convenient weaponry.
(Outside-)
Jolt: Uh, Pyro?
Pyro: Yeah, Jolt?
Jolt: Look! (He points to a group of Cybertronian ship)
Pyro: They're abducting citizens!
Jolt: No, not that. That! (Oh, looks. The titular Swarm, which is.... some... green... monster thing)
Pyro: Leadfoot, hurry up!
(Back on the Twilight-)
Rook (voice): This is Rook to Liege Centuro. Group of Autobots spotted. Orders?
Jhiaxus: Hmm... send in Mindset.
Mindset: Mindset en route. [Note: In some of the extended bios I had made, Mindset is actually a rebuilt Grindcore. Funny, considering both are in some way related to Onslaught....]
Pyro: Leadfoot, they're coming!
Leadfoot: (comes out with a bunch of weapons) Didn't have to shout....
Mindset: Halt! In the name of the Empire, you are under imperial arrest!
Leadfoot: Not on my watch!
(The Autobots exchange fire with Mindset, who then sends in infantry- lets just call them stormtroopers)
Pyro: Run for it!
Autotrooper Captain: Follow me!
(He leads them to a shuttle, since the Cybertronian Empire had apparently destroyed the Spark)
Captain: Hurry! Before-
??? (another Autotrooper captain): Switchblade! You think it would be that easy to escape!
Switchblade: Nitrostreak! Why you...!
Nitrostreak: Heh. Get 'em, boys.
(The Autobots and Switchblade take off.)
Pyro: Set course for Paradron, now!
(The Autobots new shuttle takes off while Linus lies in ruins)
Rook: Linus has been corrupted, sir. Dynamus has been captured.
Jhiaxus: Excellent. Set course for the Garrus system. We're done here.
(While they leave Linus, a mysterious figure appears among the ruins)
???: Jhiaxussss....
