I took a hiatus from this 'cause there was this Halloween issue I had made that was very nonsensical and difficult to recap properly. I've decided to skip it for now since it's very much "stand-alone". Might decide to place it after the end of the Velocitron arc. So, anyway...
RECKONING
(We open on the team at the Velocitron Inn. Turborun is not in a good mood. Again.)
Turborun: Great. A team of six Decepticons are out there, along with two newbies and five possible soon-to-bes. We are SO dead!
Optimus Minor: *sigh* We'll handle it. Anyways, you've got three races left. [I think I'm starting to remember why I never enjoyed the Speed Planet episodes in Cybertron....] Good luck.
Turborun: Right.
(Later, at the race track)
Online: Well... Diaster's gang are out... so... the other five racers are still in.... so, uh, go! [How very professional]
(The racers take off)
(Meanwhile, at the Speed Canyons where Megastorm's gang are)
Bladespin: Who ya callin', boss?
Megastorm: If you must know, Bladespin, I've sent a message to Rage.
Bladespin: Rage? You mean, "leader of the Stormtroopers" Rage?
Megastorm: Yes, you fool! I'd expect you to know this. [And yet apparently I expected the reader to know this as well] They should be here soon.
(Concurrently, we see Rage and his three Stormtroopers beam down to Velocitron)
Rage: Make yourselves at home... we're gonna be here for a while. [No kidding]
(Back at the race, Excellion wins, much to Turborun's chagrin)
Excellion: Beat that, Blueberry!
Windbreaker: What a jerk.
Turborun: *emo sigh*
Optimus Minor: Only two left, buddy. Only two.
Heavypunch: Besides, the Planet Key is more important. [And yet here you are watching races...]
Fastfix: If we only knew where to start.
(Back at the Decepticon camp, Megastorm is looking at... something.)
Megastorm: None of these look like a Planet Key! This is impossible!
Gasket: Uh, boss? There is the Planet Cup. It... could be a clue.
Megastorm: And... how could we get this... cup?
Gasket: You'd need to enter the Speedia 5000... which they won't allow us to.
???: Yes, but...
(Suddenly, the Stormtroopers show up!)
Rage: They should allow us. [Clearly I have no knowledge on how NASCAR or literally any sport works because I'm 99.9% sure new players can't be added in the middle of a game and have a fair chance at winning it]
(Elswhere, Necros and Nova Prime witness the failure of their Horrorcons in the Halloween special)
Necros Prime: We need help.
Nova Prime: Like what?
Necros Prime: Well... if Starscream hadn't shut down all portals to Axiom Nexus, we could've--
Nova Prime: Wait -- can't you just teleport us there?
Necros Prime: ... [Kind of sad when a supposedly threatening villain comes across as very dumb]
(Meanwhile, in Axiom Nexus, Shockwave is moping while his Decepticons chat)
Terradive: I wish Megatron was still leading us.
Oil Pan: Yeah. He would've blasted 'Scream right where he--
(Suddenly, an enraged Shockwave blows Oil Pan to pieces)
Shockwave: If you love your *glorious* leader so much, why don't you go and try and bring him back?!
(Just then, Necros and Nova arrive!)
Necros Prime: I believe that would be useless. Megatron has served his purpose.
Shockwave: Who are you? And... is that Nova Prime?
Necros Prime: I am Necros Prime, and... yes. We are here to help.
Shockwave: I've had enough help. I just need to get out of here!
Necros Prime: And then what? What will you do then?
Shockwave: I shall find the four Planet Keys and rule Cybertron! [This is rather OOC for ol' Shockers...]
Necros Prime: And how will you do that?
Shockwave: ...
(Back on Velocitron, Optimus Minor drives up to Override's office place)
Optimus Minor: Guards, I wish to speak with Override.
Guard: That's Override PRIME to you. And she is currently busy.
Optimus Minor: I wish to see her NOW. It's urgent.
(Apparently this is enough for the guards and Optimus is allowed into Override's office)
Override: And who are you?
Optimus Minor: I am Optimus Minor. I'm here to talk.
Override: What do you want from me?
Optimus Minor: My team and I are searching for the four Planet Keys, and one of them is here on Velocitron.
Override: I... THE Planet Keys?
Optimus Minor: Yes.
Override: Th-those are just a myth... aren't they?
Optimus Minor: Not from what I've heard.
Override: But... there's no such thing here. Now leave.
Optimus Minor: Fine. (He transforms and drives off. How very useless)
(Meanwhile, on Cybertron, Perceptor and others are at a landing site)
Perceptor: Prime, this is Perceptor. We've found something.
(Omega Prime drives up) Omega Prime: What is it?
Perceptor: We don't know yet. We just saw this thing crash here.
Wheeljack: Bring it up!
Grapple: Er, Hauler, a little help?
Hauler: Sure. Almost.... (Suddenly, a weird pod-shaped thing is pulled out) WHOA!
Perceptor: Is that... a trans-scan pod?
Wheeljack: Yes... and with glyphics I'v never seen before. I wonder what they--
(Suddenly, the pod transforms into some... person!)
Freakazoid (that's what I'm calling him): THE LORD OF CHAOS SHALL RISE AGAIN!
Omega Prime: Wheeljack, immobilize him!
Wheeljack: Right! (The inventor does so and Freakazoid goes into shutdown) Whew! I'll take him to the lab and... try to figure him out.
(Meanwhile ONCE AGAIN, on Animatron....)
Flamus Prime: What brings you here?
Gigatron: I come in search of the Animatron Planet Key.
Flamus Prime: I've never heard of such a thing. The only thing of power we have here is the statue of the Beast. You may leave now... in one piece. Unless you wish to have your heads severed.
Gigatron: How did you become a beast?
Flamus Prime: Eh?
Gigatron: I'm intrigued. How?
(Flamus Prime is silent at first. Then... he fires some sort of beam at the Decepticon....)
(Back again once more on Velocitron, Override Prime has a flashback to when she and others first arrived on Velocitron. Concurrently, the second to last race begins just as the Stormtroopers arrive....)
To be continued....
