Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End
This Story takes place right after Megatron takes the G1 Megatron's Spark.
It was dark, an energon storm raged all around Megatron, so bad that he had to shield himself from the flying debris. Megatron starred at the light that emanated from within the cave that now sat before him. Megatron switched to "beast mode" and headed for the entrance. Megatron knew that the energon in the cave would Be soaked up by his new body, and cause him to loose his spark. Megatron's optic censors widened as he realized that he had reached his destiny...
"Rattrap, what are you doing?" Optimus yelled from across the bridge, the control room of the new base. "What does it look like I'm doing, boss monkey.""It looks to me like your leaving the base," Optimal Optimus yelled back. "Yeah. I'm going to go take all of the auto guns off-line. The storm can't be good on them," Rattrap replied. "Rattrap, that's not the best Idea." "Why not," Rattrap replied. "This storm might be bad, but the Predicon could still be out there waiting for just an occasion. Megaton doesn't always act in a way that one might expect."
Mean while, in the Pred base:
"What do you mean you can't find the Royalty!" Inferno yelled to Quickstrike. "Its seems the boss left us when he is needed the most," Quickstrike said. "Well, I am second in command, and I command you to search for the Royalty until he is found," Inferno yelled. "What in tarnation, are you an Idiot? Look at the storm that is ragin out side. I don't even know if Megatron could survive, let alone, me!"
"You do not realize the power of the new Megaton, do you?" a voice came, echoing all around the Predicons.
"Who said that," Inferno yelled.
"Why, it was I, Teranculas"
"What, do you mean, POWER," Waspanator replied.
"Megatron has the power of his ancient ancestor added on to his own, Just like Optimal Optimus. He will be able to survive (for now, but not after my plans are done with him)."
"Yes, that is it," Megtron gleamed! "The Golden Disk was right. After all this time, I cant believe that it is still here."
Megatron picked up, what appeared to be a round stone with one of the alien engravings, like that of the ones that had marked the traps on the flying Island. "Why is nothing happening. I should be enriched with power by now. Why is this stupid alien rock not working," Megatron yelled as loud as he could.
Suddenly, a little probe came form out of the cave wall, and started shooting at Megatron. "You dare shoot at the power of two Megatrons," Megaton yelled madly.
Megatron yelled with his mouth open, and fire started rolling out. It hit the probe, and it blew up.
Suddenly, Megatron started to scream in pain, and he started glowing with a blue aura. "What is happening to me?" Megatron yelled.
The entire cave filled with a blue light, and when it left, Megatron was left lying on the ground. "Terrorize," Megatron yelled. He switched from his dragon beast mode, to his robotic form. "Yes! It worked! IT WOOOOOOORKED!...
"Blackaracnia, We have to get out of this storm," Silverbolt yelled.
"I know, but we're lost, and the storm is messing with our external censors," Blackaracnia replied.
As they were walking along, they came across a cave.
"A cave. We have shelter," Blackarcnia yelled over the wind.
"But, if there is that much energon in the cave, enough to make the entire inside of the cave glow, then we will have to convert to 'beast mode' so we won't loose our sparks!" Silverbolt yelled back.
BEAST MODE they both yelled. Silverbolt transformed into his bird/dog mode, and Blackaracnia transformed into her Transmetal 2 spider.
"Lets get inside that cave before my joints fall out," Blackaracnia yelled.
Upon entering the cave, their was a site there that they had never expected to see. "MEGATRON," they both yelled.
"Blackaracnia, maximize," Blackaracnia said, as she turned into robot mode. "Silverbolt, maximize," Silverbolt said, doing the same a Blackaracnia.
"MAXIMALS," Megatron yelled. "Your here to witness first hand, my new powers."
"What are you talking about, Megatron," Silverbolt asked as he was pulling out one of his sword/missiles.
"Your about to find out, foolish maximals. Your power is nothing compared to the 'Power of the Ages'.
As Megtron said this, the floor started to shake. Small and large rocks alike started joining four central locations in the cave, until they formed four rock creatures, that would do only Megatron's biding.
"By the Matrix, what is happening," Silverbolt yelled. "I have no idea," Blackaracnia yelled back, "but we must stop Megatron, right here and now!"
Both Silverbolt and Blackaracnia started shooting there weapons at the creatures. It took a little while to destroy them, but it had been done. But one question rolled through Blackaracnia's CPU the whole time. She had wondered why Megatron had just stood there laughing, he could have been using this time to escape.
"Fire on Megatron, Silverbolt!" Blackaracnia yelled.
The bird/dog maximal complied and shot a missile at Megatron. It hit him and blew up. It didn't even dent Megatron.
"Nice comeback, Maximals, but not good enough!"
As Megatron said this, both of his hands started glowing, a fine yellow color. As Megatron started to build up power in his hands, the two Maximals turned and started to run, in hopes of retreating. Suddenly, two beams of yellow light shot out from Megatron's hands. It shot through both Blackaracnia and Silverbolt and came out the other side, like a knife would cut though a human. They both collapsed to the ground.
"Blackaracnia and Silverbolt still haven't checked in?" Optimal Optimus asked Rattrap. "Nope," Rattrap replied. "They haven't even shown up on censors yet. They may still be stuck in the storm, or off-line somewhere."
"Well, the storm is letting up now, me and Cheetor will start a search and rescue," Optimal Optimus said.
So Optimus walked to Cheetor's quarters, and found that he was playing with a little mouse. Optimus gained his concentration after explaining the situation to him. So they both started toward the control room.
"Yes, two of the Maximals have fallen," Megatron yelled for joy. "Only five more to go. 'Beast Mode'." Megatron switched to his Transmetal dragon mode, with the Power of the Ages added to his own. "The Maximal base is next," Megatron screamed as he flew of into the horizon.
"Are you OK my love?" Silverbolt questioned, as he dragged himself over to Blackaracnia's lifeless body. Their was no response. "She's in stasis lock," Silverbolt yelled right before loosing consciousness.
"Well lets go, Cheetor," Optimal Optimus said.
KABBOOOOOOM. The front blast doors suddenly exploded into a thousand pieces.
"What was that Rinox?" Optimal Optimus questioned to his large green friend.
"I don't think that you want to know, Optimus," Rinox replied back.
Megaton, out in front of the Maximal base, just stood there. "Maximals! Come and meet your doom!" he yelled.
