KING OF THE JUNGLE, PART 1
(We open on a flashback during the Great War, in the orbit of the planet Animatron, as Decepticon ships attack the Autobot vessel Yukikaze)
Backstop: Sir, there's too many of them!
Lio Convoy: Hang in there, Backstop! This is Yukikaze to Cybertron, does anyone copy?
Backstop: Communications are down, sir!
Fangwolf: We've lost one of our thrusters!
Scorponok: (over comm) Autobots! You don't really think you can bring down my army, do you?
Lio Convoy: We shall not fail, Scorponok! No matter what!
Scorponok: Even with Sentinel Prime dead and a simple Elite Guardsman like Zeta in his place?
Lio Convoy: Zeta Prime shall lead us to peace and victory!
Scorponok: Such words, Lio Convoy. Destroy them! [wow such words much talking]
(The 'Cons shoot down the Yukikaze and it crash lands on Animatron. As the crew recovers...)
Lio Convoy: Ooh... everyone all right?
Backstop: Seems so, Lio.
Lio Convoy: Flamus, everything all right on your level?
Flamus: Uh, other than that we landed where a green, glowing thing is... yeah, we're all right.
(Lio and the others come down to investigate and are all immediately reformatted into beasts)
Backstop: We've become... beast-like. [No kidding]
Undermine: This is freaky.
Lio Convoy: Backstop, try to make contact with Cybertron. We might as well get used to this...
(Present day...)
Flamus Prime: Brimstone, report.
Brimstone: The green thing keeps glowing brighter.
Flamus Prime: I figured as much. Bring it here.
Brimstone: Are you sure it won't--
Flamus Prime: Bring. It. Here.
Brimstone: *sigh* Yes, sir.
(Meanwhile, Nemesis Prime arrives on Animatron)
Nemesis Prime: Well... might as well find the key... wherever it is!
(Back in the WALL-E 'verse)
Starscream: Really, Noisemaze! How do you expect we find the two Cyber Keys here? And what's this big plan of yours?
Noisemaze: You'll find out in due time, Starscream. In due time.... (As he says this, we see Guiltaur float around in... I have no idea at this point)
(Back on Animatron)
Leo Prime: So why are you here?
Primal Major: We were sent by Omega Prime to retrieve the key of this planet.
Leo Prime: Wait, Omega Prime? What about Zeta Prime?
Primal Major: Heh... you missed a lot, didn't you? Well, Zeta Prime is long dead.
Leo Prime: DEAD?! [boy he really cares about Zeta Prime]
Primal Major: Yup. About four million years ago. His spark was extinguished by Megatron and the Matrix was passed on to Optimus Prime, and the war against Megatron continued on Earth. (He goes on to recap the entire series because padding is fun, amirite?)
Leo Prime: So that's why you're here?
Primal Major: Yes. Do you know where the key is?
Leo Prime: Actually... I think I've seen the key. But we can't get to it! [oh noez!]
(Back at the Predacon Fortress)
Brimstone: What's your plan, sir?
Flamus Prime: The plan, Brimstone... is to turn all Cybertronians into beasts!
Brimstone: WHAT?! [wow so evil]
Flamus Prime: The key is trying to show us what we really are deep within: beasts! That's why we are constantly plagued with violence!
Brimstone: 'Kay... but how are we gonna do that?
Flamus Prime: I have an idea.
Gigatron: *pfft*
Flamus Prime: Do you have a better plan, Gigatron?
Gigatron: No.
Flamus: Good. Brimstone, take the key to the temple's peak.
(Meanwhile)
Nemesis Prime: Ugh, so hard to drive in the jungle...
Optimus Prime's Ghost (because that's a thing now): Then the leave the jungle, Decepticon... if that is what you truly are.
Nemesis Prime: Optimus?! I thought you were dead!
Optimus Prime: I am, Dion. The Well of All Sparks has allowed me to speak with you.
Nemesis Prime: This better not be like that human movie with the teddy bears in a jungle... [...Star Wars? Is that... is that he thinks Star Wars is all about? Teddy bears in a jungle? How does he even know what teddy bears are, let alone Star Wars?!]
Optimus Prime: No, Dion--
Nemesis Prime: My name's not Dion!
Optimus Prime: But it was....
Nemesis Prime: Was. Dion is dead.
Optimus Prime: I don't believe he is.
Nemesis Prime: You better start believing it.
Optimus Prime: What would Cop-Tur say to that?
Nemesis Prime: Cop-Tur is dead!
Optimus Prime: What about Lancer? She's still alive, right?
Nemesis Prime: When I turn around... you'd better be gone. (Optimus' ghost vanishes, leaving Nemesis alone once more) *sigh* I've failed you all... Optimus, Cop-Tur, Lancer...
[Warning: Emo rant following]
Nemesis Prime: WHAT HAVE I BECOME?! I'M THE REASON COP-TUR'S DEAD! THE REASON LANCER'S DEAD! I failed Cop-Tur against those Kaon miners! I failed Lancer against the Decepticons! I'm a beast! An animal!
(And then Nemesis was a Predacon. The end)
[Yeah, he gets reformatted into his Universe 2003 toy]
