THE REIGN OF STARSCREAM, PART TWO
(In the depths of Kaon...)
SOUNDWAVE: Decepticons, we are gathered here for one thing... to put an end to Starscream's so-called "reign."
SKYWARP: You do realize it's only been an hour.
SOUNDWAVE: Silence. Now then, we must not take direct action immediately. We must take a different approach. We're going to subtlety convince others that Starscream is an unfit leader.
SKYWARP: ...Boring.
SOUNDWAVE: Fine. You can cause mayhem and destruction if you want. However, Slick, I need your assistance.
SLICK: What for?
SOUNDWAVE: You will find out soon. Now, follow me.
(Kaon Fortress...)
STARSCREAM: Astrotrain! I wanted caffeinated oil!
ASTROTRAIN: My apologies, Lord Starscream. I won't let it-
STARSCREAM: Spare me your pathetic excuses!
STRAXUS: (hologram materializes) Enjoying ourselves, are we? (Starscream does a spit take) I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.
STARSCREAM: Straxus? I... I thought you were... dead!
STRAXUS: Any reports of my demise were greatly exaggerated. Now then... how's it like to be in command?
STARSCREAM: Er... great.
STRAXUS: Good to hear. So, what do you have planned on your agenda?
STARSCREAM: Agenda?
STRAXUS: Surely the new ruler of the Decepticons has something extraordinary planned.
STARSCREAM: Uh... I don't.
STRAXUS: ...Sad. Well then, in that case, I hope you don't mind if I send my forces to Cybertron.
STARSCREAM: Your forces?
STRAXUS: Yes, it's quite a long story. But once they arrive, you can launch a full scale assault on the Autobots!
STARSCREAM: Don't make me laugh! We've tried that twice already and they both failed! What makes you think it'll work this time?
STRAXUS: You know the saying: Third time's a charm. And besides... I have something extraordinary planned.
(Iacon, Autobot HQ)
ULTRA MAGNUS: Are you certain about this, Optimus?
OPTIMUS PRIME: I am, Magnus. We need to find the Matrix shards, if only to keep them from our enemy's reach.
ULTRA MAGNUS: Do the Decepticons even know about it? If they don't, then maybe we don't need to find them.
OPTIMUS PRIME: *Sigh* I suppose you're right. I guess I just want to find out more about my lineage.
ULTRA MAGNUS: Actually, I agree with you. Even if the 'Cons aren't after it, surely someone else is.
OPTIMUS PRIME: ...I hate it when you contradict yourself.
ULTRA MAGNUS: Consider it a habit of a duly appointed officer of the Tyrest--
(An explosion occurs and a bunch of strange Decepticons enter)
TERRORCON: Autobots! You are to be exterminated for interfering with the plan!
OPTIMUS PRIME: The plan? What are you talking about?
TERRORCON: That is not for you to know. Simply accept that it involves your deaths! RARGH! (They lunge at Optimus and Magnus) Die for the glory of the plan!
(Magnus knocks out two of the Terrorcons while Optimus slices off the leader's head, only for the Terrorcon's body to still grab him while the head continues speaking)
OPTIMUS PRIME: What the-?
TERRORCON: Fool! We are immortal! We are the undead! We--
VECTOR PRIME: Talk too much. (Guess who shows up?)
TERRORCON: No! It can't be! We thought you were-- (Vector Prime opens a portal that sucks the 'Cons in) No! No! NOOOOoooo!
VECTOR PRIME: Looks like I came just in time.
OPTIMUS PRIME: Who the heck are you?
VECTOR PRIME: I am the guardian of time and space, the bearer of Rhisling. My name is Vector Prime.
(Meanwhile)
SLICK: What do we need that's here?
SOUNDWAVE: There's an Autobot base hidden here. I need you to retrieve something.
SLICK: Um, right. What is this "something?"
SOUNDWAVE: It's a communications device.
SLICK: Okay. So, uh, how do I get inside?
SOUNDWAVE: I will handle that task.
(Soon...)
AUTOBOT: And then I said-- (KROOM!)
FRENZY: First we crack the shells... then we crack the nuts inside!
SOUNDWAVE: Retrieve the device.
(Slick retrieves it while Frenzy and Rumble wreak havoc)
SOUNDWAVE: Frenzy, Rumble, stop.
RUMBLE: Aw! We were just starting to have fun!
SOUNDWAVE: There will be time for pleasure another day. Let's go. The transmission has been sent.
SLICK: Who's it for, anyway?
SOUNDWAVE: An old... accomplice of mine.
SLICK: Why do we need him?
SOUNDWAVE: Because he has what we need. He has the key to bringing back Megatron.
SLICK: Who is he?
SOUNDWAVE: Soundblaster.
