The Transformers, Issue 59: Earth, Chapter Two

ESCAPE OF THE NEMESIS, PART 2
    (We open on a flashback with Shockwave staring at screens)

    Perceptor: Shockwave? It's past work time.

    Shockwave: I'll be done soon, Perceptor.

    Perceptor: Fine, just don't be long. [Okay, Dad! Gosh!]

    Shockwave: (thoughts) They won't understand. Honestly, I don't think I even do. But after searching galactic records... I sometime wonder... are we that different from others? (pause) Perhaps Skids' ramblings are getting to my memory banks.

    (He leaves and some mysterious voices converse about some mysterious device)

    (In the present, the humans marvel at the Axiom)

    Joe: Whoa!

    (The ramp lowers with dramatic smoke)

    Lightyear: It's in my optics! Agh! I got dust in my vocal system! *cough* Now it's clogging my audio receptors! [Our heroes, ladies and gentlemen!]

    George: Uh, hi?

    Lightyear: *cough* Sorry about that. I am Autobot Lightyear, officer of Star Command and current leader of Team Axiom. This is Wastelifter, Eveningstar, and Team Asphalt.

    Joe: Uh, I'm Joe and these are my brothers Bob and George.

    Lightyear: (to Grandpa) And you are...?

    Grandpa: I'm their grandpa!

    (Awkward silence. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, Nemesis Prime drives away from the Axiom)

    Nemesis Prime: Cyclonus, make a diversion. Soundwave, Scourge, find that device. I know it's here.

    (The Decepticons then attack the Autobots, 'cos that's what they do)

    Cyclonus: For Megatron! Die, Autobots!

    Soundwave: Slugfest, Overkill, eject. Operation: Recovery.

    Nemesis Prime: Excellent.... [Shut up, you're not Palpatine. Don't even try.]

    (Meanwhile, Optimus Minor's team of Autobots arrive at Earth)

    Turborun: It's hopeless, Optimus! We won on Velocitron... but we had help!

    Fastfix: And we will this time. Apex's team is here too. [Referring to a Halloween special I never posted here because it sucked]

    Turborun: Oh.

    (Suddenly, the ship shakes!)

    Heavypunch: Whoa!

    Optimus Minor: Is it Megastorm?

    Fastfix: No... it's something else.

    Starscream: (from outside) Pathetic fools! There's no escape!

    (Starscream fires upon their ship... and is somehow powerful enough to actually do damage)

    Starscream: Ha ha ha ha! Die, pathetic scum! Die!

    ???: Starscream?

    Starscream: Eh? You!

    (Then he gets shot and Optimus Minor's ship falls towards Earth)

    Nemesis Prime: [why is he in space???] I'm surprised you had the guts to show up here, Starscream. Soon, you'll have none at all. [yeah, robots don't have guts]

    (In Axiom Nexus--)

    "ROTF Wreckloose": Deathsaurus and the rest have gone, Lord Necros.

    Necros Prime: Excellent. That only leaves two more things: those Autobots (gestures to Axiom Prime) and what's left of him (gestures to Shockwave's remains).

    "Wreckloose": Eh, just use him for parts.

    Necros Prime: Not the body, you idiot. His spark.

    "Wreckloose": You didn't kill him?

    Necros Prime: Now where's the fun in that? Oh, Vector! (Vector Prime appears -- because he can show up whenever, I guess) Two second truce. Take this to universe A113. [Oh no....]

    (So, yeah, universe A113 is WALL-E's universe and... Shockwave ends up being AUTO)

    (I really like WALL-E, in case you couldn't tell)

    (*sigh* Back on Earth--)

    Cyclonus: For Megatron! [you already said that] (clashes swords with Lightyear) Fall, Autobot! Fall!

    (Suddenly, Optimus Minor's ship just so happens to crash exactly where they're fighting. How convenient)

    (Back in space, Nemesis Prime is beating the scrap out of Starscream)

    Starscream: Agh!

    Nemesis Prime: It's ironic. Megatron built this huge army. This empire. And look now... it's falling apart. Traitors. Defeats. And so forth. *sigh* I knew this would happen.

    Starscream: Then why did you join?

    Nemesis Prime: So I could do this. (to his comm) Soundwave, is it ready?

    Soundwave: Affirmative. Activating Unit-791. Sending signal to source.

    (We see some device send out a signal to Cybertron which I guess pulls the Nemesis towards Earth... at least, that's what I think is happening)  

    Optimus Minor: I have a bad feeling about this.

    Unit-791: [I have no idea who or what this guy is supposed to be] You should. I see... with my four little eyes... lots of dead Autobots... lots of them. [ow the edge]

    To be continued [it still hurts]
