This is the last completed issue I wrote for this series.
HORRORCONS RISING PART 2: EVE OF TERROR
DEAD END: (narration) *sigh* Just what is the point? I mean, we go about fighting and killing each other... but we're all gonna die anyway.
DRAG STRIP: Ya' gonna make a move already? (They're playing Battleship)
DEAD END: *Sigh* (He makes a move)
(Drag Strip makes his move)
DRAG STRIP: Ha! I sunk your battleship! Go me! Go me!
MOTORMASTER: What... are you doing? Nevermind, don't care. Get to your stations, boys... we're expecting an Autobot attack.
BREAKDOWN: So... we're really are at war?
MOTORMASTER: Yes, Breakdown. Megatron has spoken... we're back at war!
(Meanwhile)
SILVERBOLT: All right, guys, this mission should be fairly easy... We fly in, take down their defenses, get their experiment, and then fly off. Sounds good?
AIR RAID & FIREFLIGHT: Yes, sir!
SILVERBOLT: Then let's move...
(Battle breaks out)
MOTORMASTER: Move it, Decepticons! We must ensure Oil Slick's protection! Not that I give a darn about his survival.... Breakdown, Dead End, keep an eye on the scientist!
DEAD END: As if I had anything better to do. Oil Slick? Oil Slick! Yo, canister-head! Where are you?!
BREAKDOWN: They've taken him.
DEAD END: Who?
BREAKDOWN: The Horrorcons. They always come around this time, on the eve of this orbital cycle. They come, they seize... and they never see you again.
DEAD END: Uh-huh. What's this?
BREAKDOWN: Synthetic Energon. It's what Oil Slick's been working on.
DEAD END: Hmm... (He starts injecting it into himself)
BREAKDOWN: What are you doing?! Don't--
DEAD END: I have nothing to lose, Breakdown.
BREAKDOWN: Oh, Primus, I can't watch...
DEAD END: What's wrong with you? I feel fine--! Hrk! What the--? My... module. Ah, I knew this would happen... sooner or... later... (His eyes turn green)
BREAKDOWN: Dead End...? You okay?
DEAD END: Hm? Oh, I'm fine... just feelin' a little thirsty.
(Beat)
VEHICON: Hey, Motormaster needs--
(Breakdown shoves him in as he leaves the room, slamming the door behind him)
VEHICON: What the--? (He sees Dead End) Mommy....
(Later)
MOTORMASTER: Well done, Decepticons. We've won.
VEHICON: Um, sir? We have a situation.
MOTORMASTER: Dead End? Are you-- Oh, Mortilus...
(Dead End has dismembered his Vehicon victim)
DEAD END: Energon... I need energon! RAAG! (He lunges at Motormaster only to be shot down)
MOTORMASTER: Vehicons, take him to the medbay. Breakdown, Drag Strip, start looking for Oil Slick. Unless he's already dead!
(Elsewhere)
NIGHTSCREAM: Hmm... It seems the experiment was successful.
OIL SLICK: It better be. The dangers of Synthetic Energon are numerous. I must ask... why do you require a... vampire? What good does it do for the Decepticons?
NIGHTSCREAM: Ah, you shall find out in due time, Oil Slick. I promise you.
(Later)
MINDWIPE: Wake up... Wake up! Ah, good. I was afraid that-- Never mind. Come, we are needed.
DEAD END: Wh-who are you? What's going...?
MINDWIPE: There's no time. Come!
(Dead End takes his hand and they teleport away. A Vehicon enters the room)
VEHICON: Time for your medi-- cine. Scrap, I'm fired.
(Mindwipe and Dead End arrive to a new place)
DEAD END: Where the heck are... we?
NIGHTSCREAM: You're home, Dead End... you'll fit right in!
(The other Horrorcons are based on various horror icons. Most notable is a bot based on Crossovers Ghost Rider)
DEAD END: Uh... what's--?
NIGHTSCREAM: We are the Horrorcons. I am Nightscream, your humble host.
DEAD END: I... don't understand--?
NIGHTSCREAM: We are, how shall we say, a splinter group of Decepticons. After the knowledge of Dark Energon became widespread, I, like many others, became intrigued. Through my researches, I discovered that Dark Energon could not only power the living... but bring back the dead. Naturally, I kept my knowledge away from the likes of Megatron and eventually gathered my own group of followers.
DEAD END: So, what's your objective?
NIGHTSCREAM: Simple. We raise an army of Terrorcons, destroy both the Autobots and the Decepticons, and rule the world!
DEAD END: ...Lame.
NIGHTSCREAM: Yes, you may think so. But you need only do one thing.
DEAD END: What do I get in return?
NIGHTSCREAM: Eternal gratitude.
DEAD END: Name it.
(Later)
VEHICONS: *Sigh*
VEHICON 1: I wish something would happen.
VEHICON 2: Yeah.
(Dead End appears behind them)
VEHICONS: SHEEAGH!
MINDWIPE: They're distracted, Nightscream.
NIGHTSCREAM: Excellent, Mindwipe. Thunderblast, Bomb-Burst, you know what to do.
BOMB-BURST: Certainly. (They break in) Jackpot. Thunderblast, get the controls.
COMPUTER: Systems offline. Subject activated.
BOMB-BURST: Welcome to the party... Toxitron!
