STAR SEEKERS OF THE GHOST NEBULAS
PART III: AT TIDE'S END
BUMBLEBEE: Alright... I know this is a bad time to ask... but am I the only one who thought this was a bad idea?
SIDEWAYS: Shut up, Bumblebee.
(The Atlantean plunges its trident into the ground)
ATLANTEAN: RARGH! Visitors are not welcomed here in Atlantis. Leave... or be destroyed!
OPTIMUS PRIME: Vector Prime, can you do anything to stop it?
VECTOR PRIME: I can try... but it won't be easy!
(The Tidal Wave...)
SHORTROUND: Captain, I'm picking up Cybertronian signals!
THUNDERTRON: Then they can't be far! Accelerate speed! (SFX: Fwoosh!) Oh hey, there they are.
IRONHIDE: Well that's just great.
SIDEWAYS: And unfair.
BUMBLEBEE: And obviously a scheme of the writers to wrap up this subplot faster! (Sideways glares at him) Well, it's true. [It only gets more meta from here]
VECTOR PRIME: Stand back, everyone! (He fires a beam from his sword at the Atlantean)
ATLANTEAN: RARRRGH! (He punches the ground)
VECTOR PRIME: Well gosh darn it!
BUMBLEBEE: Why didn't you just stab him?
VECTOR PRIME: Well... (The Tidal Wave fires at him) Egads!
THUNDERTRON: Foolish mortals! The only death you will bring... is your own!
(Cybertron; Kaon spaceport)
SKYWARP: Hey man, we need a ride.
GUARD: Do you have Lord Starscream's permission?
SKYWARP: Uh, no.
GUARD: Then I'm afraid you can't leave. (Laserbeak zaps him from behind)
SKYWARP: Darn it. I wanted to teleport behind him and push him!
SOUNDWAVE: We don't have much time. We must leave at the same approximate time as Motormaster's team. If we leave too soon or too later, Starscream may take notice.
SKYWARP: Got it... Never thought Starscream would be a person that we'd have to sneak away from.
GRINDOR: Shut up.
(They take off after Motormaster's ship)
(Earth...)
THUNDERTRON: Now then, how shall we destroy these Cybertronians?
UNDERTOW: Oh! Let's use the Quantum Blaster!
THUNDERTRON: Nah, not agonizing enough. I know! Shortround, fire the Nemesis Cannon!
SHORTROUND: Aye, aye.
BUMBLEBEE: Crud.
THUNDERTRON: Ha! Ha! Ha! Farewell, Auto-- (SFX: BOOM!) Arr... I wondered when you would show up... Evac.
EVAC: I should have dealt with you long ago...
THUNDERTRON: Indeed. Let us end this.
(Below...)
BUMBLEBEE: Are we dead yet?
OPTIMUS PRIME: Er, no. Their weapon's not even charged up...
ATLANTEAN: Ah, do not worry. I shall see to your deaths!
IRONHIDE: Bring it on, ya' slimy sea creature!
(A missile whizzes past him and hits the Atlantean)
CROSSWISE: Looks like we left a monster unnoticed. Let's take him down, 'fellas.
(Meanwhile; Evac and Thundertron cross blades)
THUNDERTRON: You will regret challenging the Star Seekers!
EVAC: What makes you think I don't already? Actually, you'll regret messing with-- (Cannonball shoots him from behind and blasts him out of the Tidal Wave)
CANNONBALL: There. That wasn't too hard, was it?
THUNDERTRON: Cannonball, you idiot... (The Tidal Wave fills with water and slowly crashes to the seabed) I am seriously... considering making you walk the plan.
OPTIMUS PRIME: I think the writers are running out of ideas for this arc.
VECTOR PRIME: Apparently. [Still being meta]
THUNDERTRON: Arr... Stay here, lads... This fight is mine!
SKY-BYTE: Aye-aye...
(Cybertron; a Decepticon ship touches down...)
BRAWL: Man, lot of ships dropping in lately, eh, Blast Off?
BLAST OFF: Tell me about it, Brawl. Guess since "Lord" Starscream is on the throne, others want to challenge his rule.
STRAXUS: Precisely, my friends... (He and his crew step off the ship) Now then... can you tell me which way is Kaon?
(Earth...)
OPTIMUS PRIME: Alright, just who the heck are you?!
EVAC: Well--
THUNDERTRON: ARRR! I'm not done with you yet, Cybertronian!
OPTIMUS PRIME: Oh for spark's sake...
EVAC: Don't worry. I'll handle him.
THUNDERTRON: Not this time, you won't. (He transforms to lion mode and attacks)
CROSSWISE: Another monster! Die, beast from the Pits! YEEARGH!
IRONHIDE: Bloody beast!
THUNDERTRON: Grrr... Imbeciles... (He transforms back to robot mode) You are not my target! But don't worry... you're next on the list! RAAR! (He slashes Evac)
EVAC: YEOUCH!
OPTIMUS PRIME: What is it you want? Why are you here on Earth?
THUNDERTRON: That is not of your concern. All that matters is your death! (He exchanges blows with Optimus before being grabbed by the Atlantean) What the--?!
ATLANTEAN: Visitors are not welcomed here in Atlantis. I am tired of your presence. I have no choice but to destroy-- (A purple beam of energy cuts through his body) Eh? AGGH! No... No! Stop! Please! ARRRGH--! (He blows up... and standing among his remains is Cyclonus)
CYCLONUS: The Matrix shard... is gone. (He flies through a portal)
THUNDERTRON: What? No!
OPTIMUS PRIME: ...All right then... It's time for answers.
