Myth Wars Satellica

This is another old pic I did; this time of the Vehicon general, Satellica. This is her in both orbiting satellite and robot modes.

Well; I was going through some of my files and found some drawings from my good friend :iconbillybosskeen: that I colored in for him.

This one was a pencil-only (non-inked) sketch of the reborn form of Dinobot from Beast Wars as Dinobus Prime from the collaboration fanfic, "Myth Wars". I did the main coloring on it, lines and highlights/shadows; and my friend from Transfandom's forums, Wing Zero, added the background and did some touch-ups on it.

'Myth Wars': Episode 78: "Other Ventures: Part 3: Destiny":

In the orbital space above Cybertron; legions of satellite drones led by the newly created general Satellica advance in formation upon the numerous Predacon space outposts orbiting Cybertron.

"Satellica to Lord Megatron!" Satellica radios back. "Megatron here; report!" Megatron states from deep inside the Citadel on Cybertron.

"My drones are nearing the outposts. We should be there in less than a cycle." Satellica reports. "Good. Let me know when you reach the Tri-Predacus Council chamber…I have a very special message for them…" Megatron grins slyly. "Understood, my lord." Satellica replies and continues towards one of the outposts.

Her drones begin to separate into groups and spread out; each group heading towards a specific outpost.

Elsewhere…

"General! Take a look at this!" a Predacon shouts to a nearby bot. "What is it now? We've got to finish up these preparations if we are to stop Megatron!" The general states.

"I know sir; but I think you should see this…" The Predacon tells him as he points to a screen. The other two generals of the Tri-Predacus Council walk over and look at the screen; and see hundreds of satellite drones moving closer and closer to them. The Predacon turns to the generals with fear in his optics, "…it looks like Megatron's already made his move!"

"It would seem that we have once again underestimated Megatron's creativeness…" one of the generals states. "We have no more time to prepare for an offensive strike; we must now go on the defensive!" Another general states.

"Quickly, alert the other outposts if they have not already noticed." The third general tells the Predacon seated at the navigation station. He nods and proceeds to send out an emergency broadcast to the other outposts.

At that moment; on another outpost…

"We're getting an incoming transmission!" One of the Predacons shouts. "Don't tell me; we're under attack…" Another Predacon shouts from not far away. "Yes, but how did you know?" The Predacon asks as he turns around. "Because they're already here!" the other Predacon states; as he tries to hold the door shut as drones try to force their way in.

On the other side of the door the drones' blast away at the door with their shoulder mounted cannons. The door doesn't budge, and they stop blasting as they change their fingers into saw blades and begin slicing through the door slowly.

"They'll break through any second! We have to get out of here!" One of the Predacons shouts. "And just where are we going to go? They've probably infested the entire outpost by now! I say we make a stand against them!" The Predacon holding the door states as the drones' saw blades begin to poke through the door.

The Predacon backs away from the door suddenly; and the door breaks apart as the drones burst through. "Open fire!!" The Predacon shouts as they shoot the drones with everything they've got. The drones fall one by one; but more come and soon there are too many and the two Predacons are overwhelmed.

Back on the Tri-Predacus Council's outpost…

"We...we're being obliterated!!!" One of the generals states, now assuming the navigation position. "Impossible!" Another mutters in shock. "It's true…there are so many drones; we can't destroy enough of them to gain a tactical advantage!" He replies.

The third general looks at the monitors on the room; watching as the drones fly through the ship; all in robot mode; blasting down doors and walls and capturing the sparks of every single Predacon they find, leaving behind only empty shells. "Is this how it ends…?" He asks himself quietly.

Not far away…

"Satellica to Lord Megatron!" Satellica states as she walks down one of the hallways; surrounded by numerous drones. "Megatron here…are you there?" Megatron asks.

"Yes…I am here…" Satellica nods with an insane grin as she looks at the entrance to the Tri-Predacus Council chambers. "Perfect…are they all inside?" Megatron asks. "I'm scanning four Predacons inside…three match that of the Tri-Predacus Council members; and the other is just a subordinate." Satellica replies.

"Then now is the time…to thank them for all those stellar-cycles of political repression and skidplate-kissing on their part…" Megatron grins as he summons his monitors and creates a giant picture on the combined screens.

Back on the station…

"Greetings former comrades…" Megatron states as his face flashes upon a screen inside the Council chambers. "Megatron?" One of the members shouts in shock.

"You may be wondering how I was able to open up this channel," Megatron begins, "You see, once one has the entire planet under their control; one has access to the entire planet's systems. Therefore, this was simply a menial task."

"How did you get back to Cybertron! I thought we'd seen the last of your wretched hide!" One of the generals growls. "That's really no concern of yours!" Megatron scowls.

"Now, I wanted you to know this before my drones destroy you all," Megatron smirks a little, "A long since forgotten leader of the Autobots once said, 'Freedom is the right of all sentient beings'…well; no longer. The Oracle said I couldn't do it; that I couldn't kill everyone; but the Oracle is not always right! I'm proving the Oracle wrong as we speak!! It is my destiny to conquer and rule all; but not as my namesake had. He did not realize that a conquered people would not freely join you; instead they must make that decision on their own. I have come to realize this over time; and to put it simply; I don't have the time for that. Instead, I find it much easier to simply assimilate them all. Imagine it, no more individual minds. No more fighting, no more injustice, no more wars; only one single entity to rule them all…Me!!"

"Our scans indicate that there are only 3 units active on the surface. It would appear that you haven't fully won yet Megatron!" One of the generals retorts. Megatron looks at them with suspicion and then regains his composure. "A slight delay, no more I assure you. The 2 remaining infestations will be eradicated shortly." Megatron replies.

"We are not stupid Megatron; we know when we are beaten." One of the generals states. "Oh really?" Megatron questions with suspicions. "Yes. Your drones have almost broken through our doors; and you've nearly killed everyone on Cybertron. The other outposts have been decimated; and we are the last survivors of the remaining outposts that haven't been destroyed by your drones." The general states.

"Don't tell me your going to plead for your miserable lives?" Megatron laughs. "No. Quite the opposite. You may have won the war; but we are going to win this battle," One of the generals states as he presses a button, "Begin outpost self-destruct sequence!!"

"Arrrghhh!! Fine then; destroy yourselves for all I care! You always were too afraid to face the Maximals; and now you're too afraid to face me!" Megatron screams as he cuts the transmission.

"Well; there's some bad news…" Satellica states; overhearing Megatron's chat with the Council members. "Satellica to all drones in quadrants 1, 2 and 3: Retreat to orbital space, now!!" Satellica shouts. "Satellica…Blast off!!" She screams, transforming into a satellite and racing down the hallways towards the port on the outpost. "However; drones on this outpost will continue the attack! Lord Megatron commands that the Tri-Predacus Council be destroyed!" Satellica states.

As Satellica leaves the outpost; the drones on the station finally manage to blast through the doors and enter the chambers. The generals sit solemnly and quietly as the drones advance towards them. "This is how it ends…" One of the generals states as the drones fly towards him and the other three Predacons.

Suddenly; the outpost explodes in a brilliant blast of light; sending debris out in all directions as a wave of energy ripples out and slowly dissolves.

"Satellica to Lord Megatron; all of the outposts have been destroyed. Although some of the Predacons were killed; we did manage to capture 1,479 sparks. I'll have them brought to you immediately." Satellica tells him. "Good. Be on the lookout for any incoming ships. If you spot any; shoot them out of the sky!" Megatron commands. "Understood, my lord. Satellica out!" Satellica replies, now in orbit with her drones around Cybertron.

Back in the Council Citadel…

"How can this be?! You said the surface was void of life!!" Megatron screams as he smashes his diagnostic drone into one of the floating screens. The drone shakes a little; but flies back up to Megatron. "Apparently, my calculations were incorrect. There were millions of inhabitants on Cybertron; it is theoretically possible that some of them managed to elude your Vehicons." The drone tells him.

"That…is not possible. I am technologically pure; and I am their single guiding intelligence. No one should be able to elude me!" Megatron yells. "Technically, you are still over 70 organic, and-" The drone begins when a fireball engulfs it; causing it to shut up.

"You are supposed to be working on way to fix that!!" Megatron screams in anger. "Yes, milord. I will begin work operations again right away." The drone nods a little and flies off.

"Hmm…" Megatron growls lowly to himself as he turns to one of his monitors, "…I wonder who these bots are that are still alive…"

Elsewhere…

"I only hope Dinobus can stop Megatron…" Reflex mutters to herself quietly as she taps into one of the info-core stations located all around Cybertron. "I may not be able to stop Megatron or his drones, but there must be something I can do. I know Megatron would instantly notice a warning beacon, but maybe I can restore some info to the systems. If anyone else happens to find this; maybe they can make use of it."

Not too far away…

"Blast it all! There's no end to these metal hunks of slag!!" Dinobus Prime growls as he shoots down three attacking jet drones, "I need to find Megatron, and soon. I'm the only one who can stop him now!"

Suddenly Dinobus looks up and sees a small floating device. Dinobus looks at it for a few moments; and then realizes that it's a camera. He blasts it with his optic lasers and the camera shatters into millions of fragments.

Back in Megatron's Citadel…

"No…I don't believe it…" Megatron states as he watches the tape over and over again of Dinobus Prime looking up at the camera and destroying it, "…He must've been on the ship that Waspinator and Nemesis were on…but how did he escape my Vehicons?"

"You were offline for a period of time during the failed body transfer with Cryotek. He would've had plenty of time to escape." the diagnostic drone states as it flies in front of Megatron. Megatron growls a little; and turns to a small control panel. "No matter. The point remains that he is here now, and I believe I have the perfect way to say hello to my old comrade in arms." Megatron smiles as he presses a button.

Suddenly the ground begins to shake under Dinobus and he grabs the side of a nearby building for stability. "What in the inferno is going on?" Dinobus shouts as he looks around for anything that could be causing the tremors.

Just then, he sees something start to rise out of the ground about 30 meters ahead of him. "Megatron's in the Citadel; I should've known!" Dinobus growls as he continues to watch something rise out of the Citadel complex.

Dinobus stares up in awe as the object rises up and up; and turns to look directly at him. "Megatron…is that you?" Dinobus asks rhetorically as he stares up at the giant floating head of Megatron.

"Greetings Dinobot!" Megatron's voice booms out from the ship. "Megatron! What have you done?" Dinobus shouts to the ship. "Isn't it obvious? I've taken the sparks of every living being on Cybertron! I've begun the first step to fulfilling my destiny!!" Megatron booms.

"I was right! Your ambitions have made you insane! You've killed both Maximal and Predacon; and for what? So you can be alone and unchallenged!" Dinobus retorts.

"Ha! You never understood true power, old comrade. You were always blinded by your pathetic sense of honor. I have honor; but not your sense of honor. While yours makes you weak and powerless; like a Maximal; mine commends a fair battle, and understands that every good deed deserves another. Hence…" Megatron states as the ship transforms into a battleship, "…I'm saying, 'Thank you' for all the times you've cost me victories!! Goodbye Dinobot; for the last time!!"

The ship opens fire upon Dinobus as he dives out of the path of fire. Dinobus quickly rises to his feet and begins running down one of the streets of the city as the battleship flies behind him. The ship blows up any building in its path; causing Dinobus to keep changing paths to avoid debris and collapsing buildings.

Suddenly, Dinobus turns down one street and sees several cycle drones race towards him. He growls in frustration as he uses his optic blasters to cut through an overhead bridge; sending it crashing down upon the oncoming Vehicons.

He turns to face the battleship; trying to fire upon it with his optics; but realizes he's out of range. The ship charges up and fires a single shot at Dinobus. Dinobus runs as fast as he can but the blast hits just a few feet behind him; sending him airborne.

He transforms as he flies through the air and manages to regain his balance. Jet drones swoop in from around the corner of one of the buildings and fire upon him. "Dinobus Prime…Maximize!!" He screams as he transforms and deflects their blasts with his swords. He charges towards them; slicing them apart as he flies past each one of the drones.

Suddenly blasts fly past him and he looks down to see tank drones firing up at him. "Slag! I need to get inside that ship and stop Megatron now!!" Dinobus shouts as he flies higher and out of range of the tank drones.

The battleship slowly turns to face Dinobus. It transforms back into the head of Megatron and looks directly at Dinobus. "Why do you fight on Dinobot? Haven't you realized that I always win in the end?" Megatron asks.

"I've stopped your plans more than once Megatron; and I shall do so again!" Dinobus states as he flies as fast as he can towards the ship.

Suddenly Dinobus sees the shield's flash on; and he stops in mid-flight only a few feet from the shields. "Clever…" Dinobus laughs a little, "…But its going to take more than that to stop me!"

He fires his optics at the shields but to little avail. Just then he senses something behind him and turns to see several jet drones in vehicle mode flying up behind him.

Reacting quickly, Dinobus grabs one of them and slams it into the ship's shields; having a noticeable effect. The others start firing upon him; and he grabs another one of the drones by the cockpit. He swings it as hard as he can and chucks into some of the others; destroying them. He grabs the remaining two drones and slams them into the shields of the ship; shattering the shields completely.

"Arrrgghhh!! Noo!!" Megatron screams as the shields shatter; and Dinobus lands on Megatron's brow ridge. He grabs both of his swords and cuts an opening through the thick hull.

He grabs the hull piece and uses it as a shield as several more jet drones appear and open fire upon him. He manages to use his optic blasters to destroy them one by one, and tosses the hull piece down. It slides off the hull of the ship and falls through the sky to the ground far below.

Inside the ship, Dinobus rushes as fast as he can down the catwalks that fill the interior. Dinobus hears the sound of engines drawing in closer to him and soon sees several headlights in front of him, followed by a barrage of laser fire. He seeks cover behind a wall as the drones continue to fire at the empty space where he was. Patiently waiting; he stands behind the wall as the engines' sounds grow closer and closer.

Suddenly; he jumps out and grasps one of the tank drone's turrets and rips it off. The other drones fire upon the injured drone upon which Dinobus is standing; blowing it up just as Dinobus leaps off and onto another drone. He smashes the head on the drone he's standing on with the tank turret; causing it to malfunction and start shooting without aiming. He flies into the air as the drones obliterate each other; and continues on.

He uses the turret to bash down a door; and he enters a large, open room. Inside, Dinobus sees a stream of code rising from the bottom of the ship to the top. Out of the stream, a form begins to take shape; forming the head of Megatron.

"So, you are here…" Dinobus states as he looks at the form of Megatron's head, "…Look at you; you've become nothing more than a floating stream of particles. This is your master plan Megatron?" "No; you misunderstand me Dinobot," Megatron states, "Although this ship will become my body; I am not one with this ship yet. I'm still waiting for Optimus and the other Maximals to arrive; so I can give them a warm welcome!" Megatron laughs cruelly.

"Optimus…Rattrap…" Dinobus states somberly to himself. "Yes; they will all be killed, just as you shall be!" Megatron laughs.

"My drones are coming; it's only a matter of time before they reach you," Megatron begins, "Any last words?"

"There was a time I wouldn't have cared what happened to Cybertron. A time when I idolized you; a time when I was a mere criminal. Times have changed… And all my life I had searched for a worthy cause to fight for; to die for. First it was for those who could not defend themselves, then for time itself. And now, it’s for all those things and more. This time, it's for all of Cybertron and all those innocent Cybertronians you merciless killed. If I must die to stop you once and for all Megatron; then so be it!!!"

In one heroic leap; Dinobus draws his swords and plunges blade-first into the data stream form of Megatron. Waves of electricity rip through the stream as Dinobus's body begins to fry. "…The rest…is silence!!!" Dinobus screams as he shoots his optic blaster one final time.

The blast is scattered by the data stream and floods the room with a bright white light. Drones appear at the entrance to the room but are vaporized by the light. Light blasts through walls and sections of the ship as Megatron screams in pain.

Outside; cracks appear as streams of light burst out of the ship and jut out in every direction. The anti-gravity units under the ship explode and the massive head of Megatron begins to explode as it plunges slowly down. It crashes into the center of the Citadel; plowing through layers of catwalks as it forces it's way down and down; coming to a halt far below the surface.

Deep inside the Citadel…

"NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Megatron screams as he hurls one of the floating screens against the wall. As it explodes; Megatron begins to lose control as the connections to his control harness begin to detach.

"Nooo!! NOOO!!!" He screams as he transforms into dragon mode and lands on the ground below with a solid thud.

"It would appear that Dinobus put up a brave last stand, milord." The diagnostic drone states as it flies in front of Megatron. Megatron roars as loud as he can and violently grabs the drone with his tail claw.

"IF YOU EVER…SPEAK THAT NAME IN MY PRESENCE AGAIN…I WILL RIP YOU APART PIECE BY SLAGGING PIECE!!!!" Megatron screams as he hyperventilates.

"Un-Understood, milord!" The drone cowers; and Megatron chucks him aside.

Megatron transforms back into robot mode and reconnects with his control harness. "At least all is not lost milord. You have been able to rid yourself of command codes for transformation; and the ship can be rebuilt; but it will take time." The drone tells him as it flies back in front of him.

Megatron fully reconnects with his harness and growls a little. "I have to know, did Dinobus survive?" He asks with little emotion. "No. He was totally obliterated; surely his spark has rejoined the Matrix by now." The drone tells him.

"Hmm…" Megatron frowns a little as he turns away from the drone. "Will you miss him?" The drone asks. Megatron whips around and raises his hand; threatening to destroy the drone. The drone cowers back; and Megatron lowers his hand slowly. "…I suppose in some way, I will miss him. He had been with me since the beginning; from the time we broke out of prison and stole the Golden Disk, to the start of the Beast Wars. He was a traitor; but he had honor; and although I mocked him for it; I did understand his honor. I will never forgive his treachery, but perhaps I will allow for his memory to live on untainted in my mind." Megatron somberly states.

"I had no idea, milord." The drone states. Megatron smashes the drone hard into the ground, "And keep it that way! Never bring this up again; do I make myself clear?" "Perfectly…" The drone groans as it slowly rises back up.

"Now, onto other business…" Megatron states, regaining his composure. "Yes, the mole drones have been deployed as per your instructions, to search for any Cybertronians who may have fled underground. Also, the sparks from the Predacon outposts have been added to the collection and the satellite drones have returned to space." The drone tells him. "Good…" Megatron states.

Meanwhile, somewhere not too far off in space…

"The ship's controls are malfunctioning!! I can't make heads or tails of this Optimus!" Rattrap shouts. "What's going on?" Optimus asks him as he pilots the ship. "You ain't gonna believe this; but Megatron's still attached to the ship!!" Rattrap shouts.

"WHAT?!" Everyone shouts, including Rhinox. "Yeah; from what I can tell. The ship's computer is glitchin' BIG TIME; but according to these sensors, ol' Mega-butt is still out there!" Rattrap shouts.

"Could be just a feedback loop…" Optimus states as he struggles with the ship.

The ship rocks violently as they continue through transwarp space. "Hey, what's goin' on? Having trouble steerin'?" Rattrap shouts to Optimus. Cheetor desperately tries to aid Optimus as he stands next to him at the controls.

Blackarachnia stumbles and Silverbolt catches her. She looks up at him pleasantly; although Silverbolt's not really sure why.

Suddenly Optimus shouts, "It's Megatron! He's trying to break free!" Heh, maybe it wasn't my imagination after all… Rattrap thinks to himself as he looks at the monitor and sees Megatron break free. Still; that does look awfully familiar… He rethinks to himself.

"Well; dat's the end of him!" Rattrap laughs a little, "…And us!!" Suddenly the ship is rocked violently as the computer's begin to spark and the crew is tossed around the cabin.

Cheetor slams to the ground in front of him as they finally exit transwarp space; entering a clear sky full of stars and the planet Cybertron in their view.

Back on Cybertron…

"Satellica to Lord Megatron!" Satellica states over the intercom. "What is it?" Megatron asks. "My long range scanners have detected an incoming ship; just leaving transwarp space. Energy signature matches that of the Autobot shuttle you told me to watch out for." Satellica states.

"Ah yes, Primal finally shows up. This will be the perfect way to test this upgraded form of the virus…one that will completely eliminate their ability to transform and their memories!!!" Megatron shouts.

"Satellica; prepare your defenses. Allow them to land; but ensure they encounter turbulence in space!" Megatron laughs cruelly as he orders the diagnostic drone to prepare the drones with the new virus for the Maximals.

Meanwhile, on the ship…

They all slowly rise up and look out of the window. "We did it! We’re out of transwarp space!" Cheetor proclaims.

"And what's better Spots; that's Cybertron! We're home!!" Rattrap exclaims.

At that very moment…

"Satellica to all drones: Open fire on the Autobot shuttle!!" Satellica commands as all of the satellites within aiming range of the ship open fire on it.

Back on the ship, a barrage of laser fire pummels the ship; throwing everyone about the cabin.

"Why are they attacking us?!?" Cheetor yells as he tries to grab a hold of something for support. They all scream as the laser fire continues; exploding against the ship's hull.

The ship tumbles as the engine's fail. The satellite drones continue to fire upon the ship as it careens past them and plunges into the atmosphere.

"Satellica to Lord Megatron! The Autobot shuttle is intact; as per your request. It's entering the atmosphere now." Satellica reports in. "Good. Relay the coordinates to me so I can have the drones in place." Megatron states. "Acknowledged, my lord." Satellica replies.

"Oh and Satellica, good work. Remain in orbit and alert me of any incoming ships. Megatron out." Megatron states. "As you command, Lord Megatron…" Satellica trails off as she turns to the skies and watches for any ships that may one day come.

Meanwhile, the Autobot shuttle smashes through buildings and crashes to the ground. "Is everyone alright?" Optimus shouts as he rises to his feet slowly. "Yeah, but why did they attack us?" Cheetor shouts. "I don't know; but I don't want to stay here and find out!" Blackarachnia shouts.

"I'm with you Webs!" Rattrap chimes in. "Good. Let's go outside and see if we can find out what's going on." Optimus states as they all file out of the ship.

They walk outside; and start to walk away from the ship. "Man…it's too quiet…" Rattrap mutters as they look around at the silent planet. But then, they start to hear a faint rumble of engines off in the distance; growing louder and louder.

"I see something…" Cheetor states; pointing off in one direction. They all look and see a row of five tank drones coming towards them. "Hmm, nobody I know." Rattrap remarks.

Suddenly; the drones open fire upon them. "Everybody; move! We need to get to better cover ground!!" Optimus shouts as they all start running away from the drones.

Just then the drones transform and throw the special virus canisters in front of the fleeing Maximals. They pop and release a neon green gas; which attacks the Maximals.

"These blasts…they're devolving us!!" Cheetor manages to shout as he grabs his body in pain.

They scream in pain as their bodies are mutated back into their original forms and are rendered unable to transform.

Rhinox, Rattrap, Blackarachnia and Silverbolt flee in another direction and are unaffected by the virus canisters that got Optimus and Cheetor.

Out of nowhere; three jet drones swoop down and drop canisters in front of them. They pop and release the same neon green gas on the four remaining Maximals.

The effect is harmful to Rattrap and Blackarachnia; rendering them back into their original beast forms. However; Silverbolt and Rhinox are unaltered…physically.

"Say what?" Silverbolt states as he rises to his feet. "What kinda body is this? This ain't the body Megatron promised me!" He states; looking at himself.

"Jetstorm…afterburn!!" He shouts as he tries to transform; unsuccessfully. Just then; the same three jet drones swoop in and grab him; carrying him away.

Meanwhile; three tank drones roll towards Rhinox. Tankor not understand…Tankor confused!! Rhinox thinks as he panics. The three tank drones grab him as he cowers in fear and drag him away.

The four remaining Maximals; now memory-less and scared; run for their lives in all directions.

Back at the downed Autobot shuttle, a team of drones work together to pick up the ship. They carry it off to a nearby hangar.

"Oh my…there were 6 Maximals in that Autobot shuttle!" Reflex shouts in shock as she sees the drones bring the shuttle inside and set it down.

She quickly takes off; running down multiple corridors as fast as she can.

She finally makes it to the central aerospace records hall. "I'm betting that the crew will be looking for their ship; if they survived the crash. I have to restore the aerospace records, now!!" She states as she frantically works to restore the records.

A few minutes later; she finishes and saves the records; turning it off of the time being. "There, it's done!" she shouts in joy. Just then, she hears a noise behind her; and turns to see four tank drones as well as Megatron's diagnostic drone.

"Megatron says that you're the last surviving Maximal on Cybertron. He has ordered me to capture you and take you to facility where the rest of the survivors' sparks were removed; inside the production plant not far away. If you do not struggle; Megatron has assured me that you will not be harmed unnecessarily." The drone states.

Reflex sighs to herself, "I guess there's no sense in running anymore. At least my death will be painless this way." The drones escort her out of the terminal and down the empty streets of Cybertron.

They make their way to the building; and enter it. Inside; a giant machine with a single beam optic looks down at her. One of the drone raises her up in front of one of the two spark extractors; and without any fuss or pain; her spark is removed and her body falls limp and dead.

Back with Megatron; two jet drones present him with the sparks of Rhinox and Silverbolt; now Tankor and Jetstorm. "I shall reunite you two with your long lost comrade; Thrust. Perhaps I will require your services one day; but for now, I shall try things my way. Surely four mongrel beasts can't outmatch my Vehicons…" Megatron laughs a little to himself.

He turns to one of his monitors and looks at it; seeing Optimus fleeing for his life from some tank drones, "Ah yes, and so it begins. The era where beasts are now the hunted; and the machines are the hunters. Hence; begins the era of the Beast Machines!"

'Myth Wars': Episode 77: "Other Ventures: Part 2: A World Without…":

"You insolent worms! You dare stand against the might and fury of Megatron? Against me?!" Megatron screams as Big Convoy and LioConvoy's troops rush towards him.

"I'd advise you to clamp it! Allow me…" Big Convoy shouts as he aims his huge double-barreled cannon at Megatron and fires.

Megatron summons one of his drones and causes it to jump in front of the blasts just in the nick of time. "It's going to take more than that to defeat me!!" He yells as the legions of drones open fire on the Maximals.

The Maximals quickly duck for cover as the ground literally explodes in waves of seemingly endless laser fire.

"Lio! Take your troops and flank the right side; try to get behind him!" Big Convoy shouts as he stands behind a wall. "Good idea!" Lio nods as he waves his hands and signals his troops to move out.

Jet drones swoop in and transform; opening fire upon Lio's troops as they race across the open battlefield. They return fire; taking out several drones.

Just then, a shot from one of the drones smashes through the hips of one of Lio's troops; knocking him to the ground. Another bot notices and stops to help his comrade; firing and destroying the drone who shot the downed bot.

"Are you alright?" He asks the downed bot. "I'll be alright; just go on without me!" The other bot shouts; pushing him off. "No; look at you. You're in bad shape! Put your arm around my shoulder." The bot states; extending his hand out to his injured comrade. "I said go on! I'll only slow you down!" He protests; pushing away his hand.

Just then the standing bot senses something behind him and turns to see a giant silhouette towering over him.

"And they wonder why I hate Maximals…" the towering bot states. "Cryotek? What's going on…?" The bot asks.

"It's called treason!" Cryotek states as he whips out a sword and slams it into the bot; slicing him in half.

"Noooo!!!" The injured bot screams; aiming his gun at Cryotek. He fires and blasts a chunk out of Cryotek's shoulder. He howls in pain as he stumbles a little, dropping his sword.

Cryotek regains his composure just as another shot swooshes past his head. Cryotek grabs his sword and gets ready to attack when he sees a tank drone rumble up and grab the downed bot. The tank drone tears him apart as he screams in pain.

"Wow…I always thought I was merciless…" Cryotek states as he watches the tank drone rip the bot apart. Out of nowhere several blasts shred the ground around Cryotek; causing him to look up and see several jet drones zooming in at him.

Cryotek transforms and takes into the air; zooming as fast as he can through the streets of the city. He cruises within inches of buildings; out-maneuvering the drones; causing them to slam into the building as they try to match his moves.

"MEGATRON!!" Cryotek screams into his intercom. Megatron; with his optics glowing with a brilliant white light; hears Cryotek. "What is it?" Megatron cackles evilly; so engaged in controlling the drones that his voice seems distant and unemotional. "Call your damn drones off of me!!" Cryotek screams. "My apologies…" Megatron states as he waves his hand.

The jet drones in pursuit of Cryotek cease fire and zoom off in the other direction a few moments later; and Cryotek zooms back towards Megatron's location.

Meanwhile, LioConvoy and his troops have moved into position not too far behind Megaton.

"Huh, he's even more insane than when he left." LioConvoy mumbles as he sees the maniac Megatron point and command his drones to attack different bots around the city.

"What's your command, sir?" One of his troops asks him. "Let's end this now!" LioConvoy shouts; signaling his troops to move in slowly towards Megatron.

At the same time; Big Convoy's troops advance towards Megatron from the front; half of them laying down a spread fire as the other half rushes in and takes cover behind closer building to Megatron.

Megatron laughs as his tank drones form lines in front of him; blasting at the buildings; trying to draw out Big Convoy's troops.

LioConvoy's troops sneak up behind Megatron; and stand less than a few meters behind him. "Perfect…" LioConvoy begins quietly as he aims his shoulder rockets at Megatron.

Just then; a bot flies down and lands next to Megatron; causing LioConvoy to pause and Megatron to turn to face him.

"Cryotek?" LioConvoy asks in shock to himself. "What is it?" Megatron asks Cryotek as his optics continue to shine brightly.

"Two things. One, I've hacked into the central communications of Cybertron; and gained access to all the major production plants on Cybertron. I've instructed them to make the jet drones and tank drones; plus I found another assault drone type; one equipped for speed. This one is a motorcycle; and I've begun production on those as well." Cryotek states.

"Perfect…" Megatron smirks. "And two, the virus is ready. Should I deploy it?" Cryotek asks. "Yes; an excellent idea! Keep me posted." Megatron states. "But first, here…" Cryotek states; pressing a small injector into Megatron's arm and firing it. "What was that?" Megatron asks. "A counter-virus; so you will be immune to the effects of the virus." Cryotek states. Megatron grins with pleasure, "Good…"

Just then Cryotek notices something move out of his peripheral vision; and turns towards LioConvoy. "Strange…I thought I saw something…" Cryotek states in confusion; seeing nothing where LioConvoy was.

"Nevermind that. The virus is our key to victory! Go now!" Megatron commands. Cryotek nods, transforms and takes off.

"Quickly; you three go and intercept Cryotek! He's betrayed us; and you must stop him; no matter what!" LioConvoy commands; and three of his troops rush off.

"And now…for you, Megatron…" LioConvoy states as he sneaks closer and closer to Megatron.

Megatron laughs more and more insanely as more and more drones appear; coming in from every direction and continuing their assault on Big Convoy's troops.

Suddenly; Megatron feels an energon blade at his throat. "Call them off Megatron; now!!" LioConvoy shouts into his ear; pushing the blade into Megatron's neck.

Elsewhere…

Cryotek flies through the skies as he watches drones patrol the cities; taking out any bots that they come across and capturing their sparks in specially designed spark-capturing devices.

Just then a couple laser blasts zoom past him and one slams into his right wing; causing him to spiral into a trail of smoke and fire.

He smashes through a bridge as he spirals out of control; as parts of his body break off and snap. He slams into the ground a few seconds later; bouncing and skidding down one of the streets. He takes out several cycle drones as he speeds out of control; finally coming to a halt by slamming into the side of a building.

He lies unconscious as the three Maximals cruise down towards him. They transform and land near him.

"Is he awake?" One of them asks. "Hmm…not sure…" Another states; poking Cryotek with the end of his gun. "Appears not…" the other states.

"Good. Let's take him into custody then. I'm sure the Maximal Elders will want to have a few words with him." The first bot states. Two of the bots grab him and start to pick him up when a blast comes out of nowhere and blows the third bot into several pieces.

"What?" One of the Maximals shouts as they turn to see a small group of tank drones roll slowly towards them. Their cannons twirl as energy builds at the ends; and they fire several more blasts at the two remaining Maximals.

They quickly grab their guns and open fire on the drones. The drones continue to advance; totally oblivious to the damage they’re taking from the Maximal's shots.

"Owwww…." Cryotek moans as he starts to wake up. "Huh?" One of the Maximals states as he turns to look at Cryotek. Just as he lets his guard down; a blast slams into him and blows his head apart and he falls dead to the ground.

"Nooooo!!!" The other bot screams as he sees his comrade go down. Just then he gets shot in the stomach; and collapses to the ground. The tank drones advance and come down upon the injured bot with their saws.

Cryotek watches silently for a few moments as the drones tear the Maximal apart. "I'd thank you; but you wouldn't understand." Cryotek states as he rushes away as fast as he can; limping the whole time.

Back with Megatron…

"I said call them off!!!" LioConvoy screams as he pushes the blade against Megatron's throat.

"Hehe…you don’t have the nerve; Maximal scum!!" Megatron laughs. LioConvoy pulls the blade in tighter; cutting Megatron a little. "Don't tempt me!" LioConvoy retorts.

"Have you ever spoken to the Oracle of Cybertron?" Megatron asks LioConvoy. "Huh?" LioConvoy asks in confusion.

"You heard me; have you ever spoken to the Oracle of Cybertron?" Megatron restates. "No…why?" Lio states; the blade still pressed against Megatron's throat.

"You see; I have. It told me that I would not be successful with my mission here; to conquer Cybertron and take every life. It told me that it was impossible…" Megatron begins, "…But you know what?"

"What?" LioConvoy asks. "The Oracle's not always right!" Megatron states; as a single blast smashes into the side of LioConvoy.

LioConvoy drops the blade and falls; and Megatron quickly moves as Lio's troops open fire upon him. The drone that shot LioConvoy moves in and opens fire upon the rest of Lio's troops; along with several other drones.

"No one in this universe shall stop me! Not you; not Big Convoy; not even the Oracle itself!" Megatron screams as the drones continue to fire upon the troops; slowly taking them out one by one.

Megatron turns and re-concentrates his power upon Big Convoy's troops; who are heavily devastated and few in number now.

Lio grabs a blaster from a compartment on his body and aims it at Megatron. "No…I can’t let you…" He states as he squeezes the trigger.

At that exact moment; as the trigger compresses; a tank drone slams its fist into LioConvoy; causing the trajectory of the blast to alter slightly. The laser blast travels through the air; and Megatron turns almost in slow motion to see the blast coming towards him. He watches as it comes straight towards him; and catches the brow of his right optic; ricocheting off and creating a scar on his brow.

Megatron stumbles a little but catches his bearings. He turns to face LioConvoy; who is still being beaten by the drone. Megatron waves his hand; and the drone stops and backs off.

"That was as close as you'll get to killing me LioConvoy…I shall wear this scar as reminder to others of your futile attempt…" Megatron grins; pointing the scar above his right optic.

"I don't care what you do to me; others will fight for my cause even if I die!" LioConvoy sneers at Megatron; showing no fear.

"Heh, famous last words!" Megatron laughs as he takes out a spark extractor and proceeds to rip out LioConvoy's spark.

And as LioConvoy goes limp and flops to the ground; Megatron laughs with insane glee as he throws his arms in the air in triumph.

Elsewhere; Big Convoy looks at a small screen on his arm; and watches as the blips of LioConvoy and his troops disappear one by one; until none are left. "Slag!! I'm on my own now!!" Big Convoy looks away in mourning…

But deep underground; Cryotek limps through his lab and walks into an adjacent room. "It's now or never!" He states as he presses a button.

High above his position; a building begins to creak and crack; slowly splitting in half. Bots who have managed to elude the drones so far watch as a giant metal tower rises up and up and up into the sky from the building.

Jet drones cruise past the giant tower as it rises to the highest levels of the atmosphere. Suddenly; the top splits open into 4 sections and forms a gigantic satellite dish.

Energy begins to build up in the center of the dish; and suddenly a brilliant blast of green energy explodes from the dish; slowly echoing across the atmosphere of Cybertron.

Bots all around Cybertron watch in horror as the green energy wave passes through the atmosphere. Inside a building Reflex broadcasts over an emergency override frequency.

"This is Reflex. Outside the building a massive green energy wave appears to be engulfing the planet. From our scans relayed in from orbiting Cybertronian satellites; the energy is actually a virus; one that appears to have the effect of vaporizing all electronic-emitting metal objects. In other words; any and all living Cybertronians will be vaporized! Quickly; if have not already done so; get to some form of safety. Where; I'm not sure exactly; but get out of any open area for sure where you will be exposed to the energy! This is not a drill! Cybertron is under attack! I hate to be unprofessional; but run for your lives!!" She broadcasts to giant monitors mounted on the sides of buildings in the major cities of Cybertron.

But for most bots; her warnings come too late. As the wave engulfs them; they simply vanish into thin air; leaving behind only their sparks; which lifeless drones come by and capture.

Back with Megatron…

"Alright! This is it bots! We have to stop Megatron now!" Big Convoy commands as his remaining troops rush head long towards Megatron; firing their weapons as fast as they can at him.

Megatron summons hoards of drones in front of him; using them as shields to take the brunt of the laser fire.

Just then, Big Convoy's sensors detect something. "Everybody! Take cover quickly!" He commands as he rushes into a nearby building and slams the doors shut behind him.

The rest of his troops turn to see the green wave of energy zoom in over the horizon and move in on them. Megatron laughs as he watches them run; but they are too late as the wave vaporizes them almost instantly.

Suddenly Megatron commands his drones to stop firing; and the surrounding area becomes deathly silent. Nothing makes a noise; except a couple of drones that collect the sparks of the vaporized Maximals and the empty wind blowing down the now deserted streets.

Big Convoy listens carefully; but hears nothing. He slides the doors of the building open slowly.

But as he looks out and sees no one around; a single laser blast broadsides him in the shoulder; causing him to fall.

"What have you done?" Big Convoy asks; as he looks up at Megatron; who now stands over him. "Simple. I'm fulfilling my destiny and proving the Oracle wrong. I've killed everyone!" Megatron coldly states as he positions his spark extractor over Big Convoy's chest.

"Figures…you always were a bot without honor…" Big Convoy sarcastically remarks. Megatron bashes Big Convoy across the head with his device. "Even in defeat you still choose to mock your master!!" Megatron growls.

"You know; I once knew a bot who had your stupid sense of honor…" Megatron begins, "…I killed him too."

Megatron presses the trigger and extracts Big Convoy's spark, and the leader falls dead to the ground.

"At last; it is done…" Megatron smiles a little; as he stares out at the charred city around him, "…And now; to prepare the planet for my reign…"

He extends his arm out and points across the land as rows of jet drones fly past him high above, "Go forth and rebuild the planet. We do want Cybertron to look it's best for my ascension to godhood; now don't we?" He begins to laugh a little, "…And if you find any survivors; kill them!"

Meanwhile; deep in space…

"What the heck is that?" Nemesis states; pointing out the windshield.

Waspinator snorts a little and wakes up. "Wha…?" He asks. "Get up and take a look at this." Nemesis states.

Waspinator walks up to the front of the ship and looks out. His jaw drops in shock as he sees the green energy wave consume the planet.

"Hmm…fascinating…" a voice states as the wave begins to dissipate and the atmosphere return to normal.

All of a sudden; Nemesis and Waspinator turn to see Dinobus Prime standing next to them. "You!!" Nemesis and Dinobus shout at the same time as they both draw their swords.

"Lizard-bot survive?" Waspinator shouts in shock as Nemesis and Dinobus lock swords and clash; fighting each other with expert swings and moves.

"Don't just…stand there…idiot…help me!!" Nemesis shouts to Waspinator as she struggles with Dinobus. Waspinator looks around and grabs his gun and aims it at Dinobus.

"Wazpinator can not get clean shot!" Waspinator states as he tries to aim at Dinobus; but they keep moving and Nemesis keeps getting in the way.

"I don't care! Just shoot!" Nemesis screams as she fights; but Dinobus charges his optics and fires a single blast at Waspinator; knocking him out cold.

"Ugh…figures!" She mutters as she reacts and counteracts Dinobus's strikes. "You are an excellent swordsman Nemesis…I'm surprised Megatron did not want you as one of his crew!" Dinobus states. "Megatron was always too busy with his own agenda to choose a competent crew. I'm surprised he chose an intelligent bot like you!" Nemesis states.

"Flattery will not make this any easier!" Dinobus growls. "That wasn't a compliment…" Nemesis retorts; kicking Dinobus in the chest across the room.

Dinobus quickly looks up to see Nemesis charging at him with her sword; but he quickly fires a shot out his optics and knocks her to the ground.

She gets knocked out; but comes too moments later. But when she wakes she finds Dinobus's hand clasped around her throat. "And now…I think it's time you start taking orders from me…" Dinobus states.

She makes a mumbling noise in response. "We are not going to the Predacon outpost…we are going directly to Cybertron!" Dinobus states.

"What? Are you insane?" Nemesis shouts. "Well; originally I was going to simply wait until you were out of the ship on the outpost and go to Cybertron myself; but this opportunity presented itself…" Dinobus explains.

"That's not what I meant; you stupid bird!" Nemesis states, "I meant why Cybertron? You're a Predacon!" "In case you had not noticed; I'm a Maximal now!" Dinobus replies.

"Huh; like those idiots'll take you in as one of their own!" Nemesis retorts. "Perhaps…" Dinobus begins, "…But I'm prepared to face that possibility now."

"You are insane." She replies. "Not at all; I'm just thinking like a true leader now…" Dinobus replies.

"Now; pilot this ship towards Cybertron!" Dinobus commands; lifting her up and setting her in front of the ship's controls.

"Fine; but it's your grave…" She comments as she disengages autopilot. Dinobus simply grunts in response.

Back on Cybertron…

"Megatron!!" Cryotek shouts into his intercom. "Yes?" Megatron responds; his optics no longer glowing as he walks down the empty and silent streets of Cybertron.

"Are you on your way back to the lab?" Cryotek asks. "I'm very nearly there. Why?" Megatron asks as he enters a building and walks to an elevator.

"I'm gravely injured…I don't think I'm going to make it!" Cryotek states.

"Oh?" Megatron states as he enters the elevator and proceeds to go down on it. "Yes, and there's something else too…" Cryotek states.

"What's that?" Megatron asks. "The long range sensors have picked up an incoming ship!" Cryotek states.

Megatron growls as he hears this. The elevator reaches the bottom and the doors open to a hallway. Megatron walks down it and opens a door; entering Cryotek's lab.

There he finds Cryotek nearly dead; holding himself up by one arm as he leaks fluid from multiple wounds all over his body.

"What happened to you?" Megatron asks; more interested than concerned. "I was followed by 3 Maximals. They shot me; and I was knocked out of the sky. I had quite a fall…" Cryotek states.

"And what of the Maximals?" Megatron asks. "They were killed by some of your drones." Cryotek replies. "Good. Then our only problem is that incoming ship you've detected." Megatron states.

"Yes. How should we handle it?" Cryotek asks; his voice cracking a little from the damage. "We'll have to act quickly. The Maximal Elders are still alive in the Citadel; and they will surely try to contact-"

"No!" Cryotek interrupts. "Hmm?" Megatron asks. "No, I've already taken care of the Maximal Elders. I was able to freely enter their chambers since I was on the head Maximal science team. They trusted me; and that was their downfall. I entered each of their chambers freely; and killed them before they could do anything." Cryotek explains.

"Well then…" Megatron states with some happiness, "…I suppose we just wait until the ship arrives. We'll give them a welcome they didn't expect!"

Meanwhile; on one of the Predacon outposts orbiting Cybertron…

"This is strange." One of the Tri-Predacus council members states as he sits in front of a monitor. "What?" Another one of the council members asks; walking up to him. "We've lost contact with Cybertron; and not just our operatives there; but with the Maximals too!" he states.

"Are you certain?" The other member asks. "Positive. We are no longer receiving information or instructions from the Maximals." he says. "Then is it safe to assume that they are no longer monitoring us either?" The other member asks. "I would assume so." he replies.

"Well; we must act. But not too hastily…" The standing member of the council states to the one seated in front of the monitor, "We must check into this; see why the communication flow has stopped; both with the Maximals and our operatives. But at the same time; this may be the perfect time to take control of Cybertron; while they are experiencing 'technical difficulties'."

"Agreed. Let us mobilize our forces then." The seated member states as he begins typing commands into the system.

Back on the Vok ship…

"We're approaching the planet. I'll need you to assist me with the controls." Nemesis states. "Can you not handle them by yourself?" Dinobus asks.

"No…I would have my idiot boy-toy help me; but you knocked him out." Nemesis sneers. "Alright. But I will only do it while standing. I do not trust you…" Dinobus states as he moves next to her; keeping one hand around her throat and leaving one hand free.

"Well; while it wasn't my first choice; I don't suppose you'll let my throat go." Nemesis states. "You always were very observant…" Dinobus states with a slight smile.

"Huh…" Nemesis grunts as she drags her fingers across the control screen, "I need you to watch our trajectory; we need to enter the atmosphere at the right angle so we don't burn up."

"Yes…" Dinobus states as he watches the screen she points at; all the while still holding her throat.

"You know; your hands are a little clammy; do you mind loosening your grip a little?" Nemesis asks. "Just shut up and pilot!" Dinobus grumbles; not letting go an inch.

As they enter the atmosphere; the ship begins to heat up. A smoke trail starts to follow the ship as it plunges further and further into the atmosphere.

As soon as the clear the upper atmosphere; the fire begins to subside and the planet's surface becomes visible.

But just a few seconds later; laser blasts begin to rock the ship. Dinobus gets tossed around; accidentally throwing Nemesis into the air and slamming her down as he falls. Holes get blasted into the ship as they go down; and Dinobus uses his optics to zoom in and see what appears to be thousands of drones firing upon him as they plunge down towards the ground.

The ship zooms closer and closer to the drones; and plows right into about thirty or so of them as it passes through the upper wave of jet drones. They explode upon impact; blowing open the front of the ship and forcing Dinobus and the unconscious Waspinator and Nemesis against the back of the ship; pinned by the G-forces and the incoming wind.

Suddenly and violently; the ship slams into the surface; plowing a trail through buildings as they slam through them with tremendous force. Debris slams into Dinobus as he tries to shield himself with his arms as the ship very slowly begins to lose momentum.

Finally they slam into the ground and carve a deep groove into it as they gradually slow to a stop.

A few minutes pass before Dinobus regains consciousness; after being knocked out from the final impact. He quickly runs to the front of the ship and runs out.

"By the pit…" he states he looks around at the empty and silent Cybertron. He hears the faint rumble of engines in the distance and rushes off.

Meanwhile…

"The ship has landed Megatron!" Cryotek states; now seated in front of a computer. He holds his chest; still very much in pain.

"Good. Are the drones there yet?" Megatron asks. "Very nearly. There should be there any second now." Cryotek states.

"Perfect. We must reach them before any one who might have survived has the chance to escape." Megatron explains.

"Yes. But we need to prevent this from happening again." Cryotek states. "How so?" Megatron inquires. "More ships may come. I suggest a planetary defense system be deployed." Cryotek suggests.

"Hmm…an intriguing idea…" Megatron begins, "…after all; I do have the drones to spare…but I would not be able to monitor everything that goes on in space and still control all the drones on Cybertron at the same time."

"What are you thinking?" Cryotek asks. "I would need a general…" Megatron states.

"Aarrgghhh!!!!!" Cryotek screams as he collapses to the ground in pain. "What now?" Megatron asks; annoyed. "I'm dying…I can't hide the pain any longer…" he stammers out.

"Hmm…" Megatron thinks, "Are you ready to trade bodies then?" "Huh? You…still want to…do that?" Cryotek asks, in unbearable pain. "I want a pure mechanical body; and you have one…" Megatron grins as he picks up Cryotek and takes him to the regeneration chamber.

"Are you…serious?" Cryotek asks. "Yes. If you recall back to when I was in control of the drones; I was not only commanding them. They were simple to control; just basically set them on 'seek and destroy'; if you will. No; I was also connecting to the vast network on Cybertron. I reconfigured your restoration chamber to act as a spark-transfer machine." Megatron explains.

"That's why…I couldn't…regenerate…my body…" Cryotek states. "Exactly." Megatron states as he straps Cryotek down.

"And now; to purge myself of this inorganic body; so I can take all the sparks and combine them with myself!!" Megatron shouts. "You…you're insane!" Cryotek stutters out as he lies in the chair; unable to move due to his weak condition. "Not at all; I'm merely fulfilling my destiny…" Megatron states as he straps himself down and presses a button.

All of a sudden; energy ripples through the machine; and echoes across both of them. They both scream in pain as their bodies begin to alter and change.

Suddenly; the machine begins to overheat. "Unable to complete mechanical transfer to subject A; subject B's mechanical structure is too far compromised. Biological transfer to subject B complete. Sequence will terminate in 2 nanoclicks." The machines states.

"Noooo!!" Megatron screams as the machine explodes; sending them flying in opposite directions across the lab.

Megatron lies stunned for a moment; but rises and looks down at his body. "No…no…it can't be…NOOOOOO!!!!!" He screams as he sees his body only partially mechanized.

Cryotek lies unconscious; on the other side of the room. Megatron looks over at him; and sees him now in his TM2 dragon body; but blue in color. "Well; I suppose this will do for now…I'll have to find another way to rid myself of my organic body…" Megatron states.

"But at the moment; I have more important matters to attend to. I need to get to a place where I can control all of the aspects of Cybertron easily…without interruption…" he states; rubbing his chin.

"Ah yes…the Maximal Elder Citadel! That'll be the perfect place!" Megatron laughs as he starts to walk off.

"Oh, I know you can't hear me Cryotek; but as thanks for your help; I shall leave you here and not take your spark. Maybe you'll survive; maybe you won't. That is not my concern. Until we meet again!" Megatron states as he leaves the room.

Back on the shuttle…

"Hmm…" Dinobus states as he watches the shuttle from afar, "I'm surprised neither of them have regained consciousness yet. And what's more surprising…" he begins as he looks at the drones in front of the ship, "…is that these bots just stopped suddenly. It's like they're not even alive…"

He watches for a few moments when he hears a noise behind him. He quickly grabs his swords and moves cautiously towards where he heard the sound.

He enters a building; and walks down a long hall when he sees something reflect light in his direction.

"Please don't kill me!!!" someone cries out; and Dinobus walks towards the reflected light, which was being reflected off of the bot's body and sees a bot cowering in the corner of the end of hall.

"I'm not going to hurt you…" Dinobus states, "Who are you? What happened here?"

"My name is Reflex…who are you?" she asks, still cowering. "My name is Dinobo…Dinobus Prime." he replies; correcting himself.

"Dinobus…Prime?" She asks in question. "Yes; I'm a Maximal, just like you." He states calmly.

She moves a little towards him; still sacred. "How did you know…I was a M-Maximal?" she asks with a little less fear.

"You may remember me as a Predacon criminal named Dinobot…" he reluctantly states. "You? But you were on the Darksyde! How'd you get here?" She asks.

"I have no time to explain. All you need to know is that I've changed; and I'm a Maximal now. I was reformatted and given a Matrix annex; and now I am a Prime." he tells her. "Normally I might not believe you; but stranger stuff has happened lately…and right now; there seems to be no one else alive on Cybertron."

"What?!?" Dinobus shouts. "Yes; a green energy wave engulfed Cybertron. It killed everyone." she explains. "I saw it from space; as I was arriving…" Dinobus states. "…A world without life is not a world at all."

"Wow, so poetic…" Reflex states. Dinobus merely grumbles a little. "So, is your ship operative?" Reflex asks. "I'm afraid not…it was heavily damaged as it crashed. We were attacked by what appeared to be legions of transformers; but none liked I've ever seen before." Dinobus states; a little confused.

"They are drones; created by Megatron." Reflex states. "MEGATRON!! He's here?!?!" Dinobus screams.

"Yes; he's here. He's taken control of Cybertron. You have to stop him!" Reflex states. "And what of you?" he asks her. "I'm going to see if I can somehow find anyone alive; or at least leave some kind of beacon for others; so they know what has happened." she tells him.

"Alright. I wish you luck." Dinobus states. "Same to you. It's very evident that you've changed…" Reflex states.

"Hmm…" Dinobus grumbles as he walks off back down the hall, "Farewell." "Goodbye…" Reflex trails off; watching him leave.

Dinobus exits the building and sees the drones active again; now carrying off the unconscious bodies of Nemesis and Waspinator. "Hmm…I'm guessing Megatron is in control of the drones…I wonder what he wants with those two…" Dinobus states; carefully staying out of sight.

"Whatever the reason; I must stop Megatron…if I can find him…" Dinobus grumbles, a little annoyed at the prospect. He silently rushes off.

Elsewhere; not too far away…

"Perfect…it worked perfectly…" Megatron chuckles evilly as he floats around inside the former Maximal Elder Citadel; hanging down from the ceiling from a jumble of long cables that extend high into the ceiling; so high the end can't be seen. He waves his arms about; one of his hands in the shape of a claw; and the other in the shape of a 3-fingered mechanical hand.

"Hmm…" he mutters as he looks at a floating screen in front of him; his reflection showing his mechanical helmet with his grill face-guard and long sloping topside; connected to the wires from the ceiling, "…It would appear that both Nemesis and Waspinator have survived. In a few moments; they will be here and I shall have a little conversation with them."

"Excuse me sir…" a small diagnostic drone floats up next to him and holds a small panel, "…the planet appears to be void of life. No free-functioning robot appears to be on the surface." The drone states.

"Good…" Megatron begins; then looks back at the drone; his deep red optics staring coldly at the drone, "…wait; on the surface?"

"Yes; there are still the Predacon outposts orbiting Cybertron that contain-" the drone begins when it is cut off. "Blast! I neglected to remember the outposts…" Megatron begins; turning to look at one of the floating screens.

Just then the doors of the Citadel open; and a couple of tank drones appear; holding Nemesis and Waspinator; who are now awake and struggling.

"Bring them forward…" Megatron commands unemotionally as he summons the bridge to him from the door; piece by piece.

The drones roll across and make their way to him. "Megatron…is that you?" Nemesis asks, a little stunned as she struggles with the drones holding her.

"But of course…" Megatron smirks, "I'm surprised you made it here from Earth. Fortunately for you; you came after I deployed my virus; and my virus did not effect you…"

"What do you mean?" Nemesis states. "I made a virus that wiped out all life on Cybertron." Megatron states. "Even you are not capable of something like that!" Nemesis retorts.

"Do not question me insolent one!!" Megatron growls, "It was Cryotek; yes; but he's not here now. I can take credit for his achievements; after all; he will become part of me when the time comes."

"What are you talking about?" Nemesis asks; still a little puzzled. "I have no time to explain. Right now; I have an important mission for you…" Megatron smirks.

"And what about Wazpinator?" Waspinator speaks up. "Well…considering you've been loyal to me in the past; to a point; and that I did implant the Thrust personality program into you…I shall spare you." Megatron states.

"But Wazpinator want important mission!" Waspinator complains. Megatron growls as he stares down at Waspinator.

"Don't tick him off; you numbskull!" Nemesis states, "I don't want to lose you to Thrust again!" "Oh…?" Megatron queries.

"Well…um…" Nemesis begins with a little shyness. "She's my birdie-bot! I love her!" Waspinator interrupts; causing Nemesis to sigh in embarrassment.

"Well; this is an interesting development…" Megatron states, "…too bad it wasn't meant to last!" "Kiss my skidplate, you piece of stinkin' slag!!" Nemesis snaps.

"Now, now…" Megatron begins as he gestures a couple of diagnostic drones over; which are carrying an empty shell.

"What's that?" Nemesis asks, looking at the shell, with its long slender form, large shoulder pads, twin shoulder mounted cannons and jet thrusters. "That…" Megatron begins, "…is you."

"What?" Nemesis shouts. "Playtime's over!" Megatron growls as he calls forth two spark extractors; located on the ends of long snake-like tubes.

"Whatever happens Waspinator, I just want you to know one thing…" Nemesis states as the spark extractors move in front of them, "…I love you; and I will meet you again, one day…"

"Wazpinator love you too…" Waspinator states with a smile.

"Ugh!! Such biological mush!!" Megatron screams in frustration; pressing a button. Waspinator screams in pain as his body makes noise; like his circuitry being rewritten.

"My name is Thrust…" Waspinator begins with a changed and deeper voice, "…and I shall obey you and your every command, lord Megatron."

"Perfect…" Megatron laughs as he extracts Waspinator's spark; and his spark-extracting tube zips back into the ground.

"Noooo!!!" Nemesis screams as she reaches out in vain towards Waspinator. Just then; the extractor rips out her spark and transfers it over into the empty shell being held by the drones. Her old body falls limp.

"Dispose of the old body…" Megatron commands as he activates the new shell for Nemesis.

"My name is Satellica; and I shall obey very command without question; lord Megatron!!" Satellica states; floating now under her own power.

"Good; now listen to me. Take your drones; and go into space. Destroy all the Predacon outposts and any incoming ships!!" Megatron commands; pointing towards the exit.

"Satellica…Blast off!!!" She screams as she transforms into vehicle mode; as a satellite with arms that extend out of the sides of the front of the craft.

Megatron watches as she zooms off and out the building. He turns to one of his monitors and watches her and her drones blast off into space. "And now…to pay my old comrades a visit…" Megatron laughs insanely.

This is the second part of the 3-part finale of Myth Wars!
Megatron has changed Waspinator back into Thrust; and now Nemesis is Satellica; one of the drones who will become Cybertron's defense system satellites in space! What will happen to the Predacons on the outposts? And what are they planning? And what of Dinobus and Reflex? What will they do? And what of Optimus and his crew; still caught in transwarp space? Find out the answers to those and many more questions in the final chapter of Myth Wars!!!!

Myth Wars is a series spanning the missing events between Beast Wars and Beast Machines; and features both new characters and old favorites!

Based upon the characters created by ShinMusashi44, TGping, AcidWing, Gryphman, Mako Crab, BillyBadAss; and of course myself. Story created and written by me.
