ESCAPE OF THE NEMESIS, PART 5
(As the Nemesis enters the solar system, Optimus Prime and Nemesis Prime continue to duel)
Optimus Prime: I know, Nemesis, that deep down, you're still Dion.
Nemesis Prime: Dion is no more. There is only Nemesis!
(We cut to a flash back, where Dion is arguing with Optronix)
Dion: It's your fault Cop-Tur is dead!
Optronix: Dion--
Dion: You're just out to ruin my online career! [oh boy, wait till Drama Alert hears about this!] Goodbye! (he drives away)
(Later, we see Dion with Straxus, who shows him what will be Nemesis Prime's body)
Straxus: Here it is. Do not tell Megatron of this, unless I say so. Understand?
Dion: Oh... completely.
(In the present, while the two Primes continue to duel, Starscream comes across the Nemesis)
Starscream: Hm. What do we have here? My, it's Megatron's old ship. (suddenly, the ship begins to transform) Agh! By the Matrix...
Nemesis: Activating transformation process. I. Am. NEMESIS! [This won't be confusing with Nemesis Prime at all]
(Down on Earth, the Eradicons provide Soundwave with a purple shard)
Eradicon: We have found the source.
Cyclonus: I thought Angolmois was green.
Soundwave: It had the same readings and energy levels as Angolmois, yet it feels... stronger. [It's Dark Energon. Basically] It shall have to do.
(He injects the shard into the Fallen's body, bringing him back to life)
The Fallen: At last. If I am to rule Cybertron and beyond... I shall rule it in my greater body. [Really? You're not gonna question about suddenly coming back to life? Whatever]
(In space, the Nemesis transforms into a giant robot)
Nemesis: I've been here since Megatron built me. I've been made to eliminate all Autobots in case Megatron was to fail. And I shall do just that.
(He then goes to Earth and lands in front of the Autobots)
Nemesis: Now... you shall fall!
(All hell breaks loose as the Autobots battle with the giant robot)
(Back in space--)
Optimus Prime: Dion, stop this. Forget about the past. I'm sorry Cop-Tur died.
Nemesis Prime: He was my brother! How can I forget him? How can I forgive you?! [Y'know, it'd be helpful if we knew how Cop-Tur died] Instead, I shall kill you.
Optimus Prime: Very well. (he unsheathes a pair of arm blades) I'll do what I must. [Oh, but Optimus, you're in space! You won't be able to use the HIGH GROUND!]
(Back on Earth, with the Fallen and Soundwave's group)
Cyclonus: So... what's our objective?
The Fallen: Simple. I have a sleeping army waiting on Cybertron. They shall retrieve all of the Dark Energon here on this planet. Then, I'll use a shard to bring back a certain someone back to life to find the Matrix.
Cyclonus: And who would that be?
The Fallen: Why, none other than... Thunderwing. [And... how does he know who Thunderwing is?]
(Back with the Nemesis, the Autobots get the advantage when Lightyear manages to unleash a super energy blast or whatever. They then throw detonators at him, causing him to transform and flee)
[You know, for being the namesake of this arc, the Nemesis really isn't all it's hyped up to be....]
(Back in space, Optimus Prime manages to incapacitate Nemesis Prime)
Nemesis Prime: Argh! You... can't win! We shall... meet again. I promise you... this isn't over. (he then teleports away)
Optimus Prime: I know, Dion. (he looks towards Earth) I'm coming... son. [How does he even know what's going on]
(Back on Earth, while Turborun prepares his own super energy blast, the Nemesis sends out a signal. Just as its sent out, Turborun manages to blow him up. And that's the end of that.)
[To be fair, this whole battle does take up quite a few pages, but it's mostly visuals with little (meaningful) dialogue, so, it's not that anti-climatic but still kind of is]
(Meanwhile, in Axiom Nexus)
Nova Prime: Ready?
Necros Prime: Quite. Time to meet my brother. (they teleport away)
(Back on Earth, Starscream laments the Nemesis' destruction while the Fallen's three minions arrive)
The Fallen: At last. Lugnut, Hailstorm, and Airachnid. Finally, I shall conquer not just Cybertron, but the whole galaxy. And then, the universe! They shall fear my name. I am... MEGATRONUS PRIME!
[BOOO!]
