ESCAPE OF THE NEMESIS, PART 4
(Cold open in space with Nemesis Prime and Starscream)
Nemesis Prime: Soundwave, report.
Soundwave: (on comm) Unit-791 has failed. Shall I initiate Plane Beta?
Nemesis Prime: Yes.
Starscream: Don't tell me you've had everything planned!
Nemesis Prime: When you're aiming to be better than Megatron, you have to think better. Soundwave, initiate Plane Beta.
Soundwave: Affirmative. Eradicons: awaken.
(Down on Earth, with the Autobots)
Turborun: Is that it?
Optimus Minor: I doubt it, Turborun. I doubt it. [How enlightening]
(Meanwhile, the Eradicons -- who are basically Prime Vehicons -- encounter Megastorm and his Decepticons)
Eradicon: Halt. Eight Decepticons detected. State your business.
Megastorm: I am Commander Megastorm, joint leader of the remaining Decepticons.
Eradicon: Negative. Nemesis Prime is leader of the Decepticons.
Megastorm: Who?! [Imagine if he had said Star-Lord]
Eradicon: Nemesis Prime is leader of the--
(Megastorm executes the lead Eradicon, causing the other two to drive off. You sure these guys will get the job done, Nemesis?)
Megastorm: Yes. Run you fools. For power shall soon be mine! [Okay. Wait. Wasn't Megastorm the one to order the Nemesis to be awakened... yet here Nemesis Prime is running things here... without Megastorm... knowing? Ugh, whatever]
(On Cybertron, within Deathsaurus' ship, Bumblebee and co. are being threatened by Banzai-Tron)
Banzai-Tron: You can't possibly beat me. I've been trained in various Cyber-Ninja arts. Allow me to demonstrate.
(He draws his swords and attacks Carrera, who manages to block his assault)
Banzai-Tron: Impressive. I've never seen armor resistant to alacitium blades.
Carrera: Bumblebee, Glyph, run!
(Banzai-Tron slices off his hand)
Banzai-Tron: Weakling. (turns his attention to 'Bee and Glyph) And where are you two off to?
(They drive away just as Sedan tosses a bomb into the ship, blowing up Banzai-Tron and setting off a chain of explosions to rage through the ship)
Leozack: Sir, we've lost contact with Banzai-Tron!
Deathsaurus: (transforms and flies away) Retreat! (to himself) No. My reputation cannot end like this!
Leozack: (over comm) Sir, the fire's too close!
Deathsaurus: ...I've failed you, Lord Megatron. Forgive me.
(With that, Deathsaurus' ship explodes, consuming him and his forces. Because they're the good guys, Bumblebee and the others (save Carrera) manage to escape in time)
(Down below, Drift and Bludgeon duel)
Bludgeon: You can't win, fool! I am far more experienced than you! (he then notices the explosion up above) Eh? Well, it seems I'm the only one left of Deathsaurus' Decepticons. [Did he like, not send anyone else] That doesn't matter though.... [okay, fine]
(Above Earth)
Nemesis Prime: Now, all that's left is to find that power source.
Starscream: Power source?! What are you babbling about?! [Starscream is like the only character with his head on straight, I feel]
Nemesis Prime: Nothing you would understand... but if you insist... I only have one word, one name for it: Angolmois.
Starscream: Angolmois?! Are you mad?!
Nemesis Prime: No... just clever. (behind him, a portal opens and it's....)
Optimus Prime: Dion... it ends here.
Nemesis Prime: Naturally... Optronix.
(Back on Cybertron, Bludgeon taunts Drift as he duels him)
Bludgeon: Weak. Vulnerable. (He slices off Drift's arm) Fool. Now... prepare to die.
Ironhide: (who's somehow not dead despite a giant hole in his chest) I don't think so. Always... double check to see... if a bot's... dead or not.
Bludgeon: (slices off his arm) Done. (he transforms and drives off) I'm done here.
(Later, Ratchet is checking up on Ironhide)
Drift: Ratchet, is he gonna live?
Ratchet: I doubt it, Drift.
Ironhide: Hn... never did like that skull head. (Then he dies. And all Ratchet has to say is "dang")
[cue Enya song]
(Meanwhile, with Jazz and co.)
Jazz: Yeah, we shot that bad boy down! [He and Blurr literally did nothing]
Volks: Do we get any congrats?
Tap-Out: Where's Glyph?!
Sedan: Right behind us. (Glyph comes out with an injured Bumblebee)
Jazz: And... Carrera?
Sedan: Dead. [oh say can you say where the road]
Jazz: 'Bee, what happened?
Bumblebee: Before we escape, Banzai-Tron shot m-
Jazz: Never mind. First Aid, get here now!
(On Earth, Soundwave, Cyclonus, and Scourge gather)
Soundwave: Unit 1143, report.
Unit 1143: (over comm) We've found the source.
Soundwave: Excellent. Extract a sample.
Scourge: Why do we need this source anyway?
Soundwave: It is said it can bring back the dead.
Cyclonus: And who would we bring back?
Soundwave: Megatron. [of course]
Scourge: Megatron?! But I thought his time was over!
Soundwave: I'm not speaking of the Megatron you know. I'm speaking of the original Megatron.
Scourge: What are you talking about? There is only one Megatron!
Soundwave: Negative. Long before our time, there was a being known as Megatron -- or rather, Megatronus. But today, he is known as the Fallen. [oh goody, it's even more stupid than I thought it was going to be]
