There are huge rumbling clouds with
the occasional strike of lightning. We
see Megatron and his Predicons around him.
“ Perfect it’s finished! Now
we wait.” Said Megatron as he steps away from a stasis pod. The stasis pod
shudders and the DNA scanner rises slowly.
It activates and slowly rotates around.
After 2 or 3 cycles it stops and returns back inside.
“ Compatible life form found.” Stated the computer blankly.
“ Excellent…Yesss…” said Megatron as the pod glows.
The Predicons avert their eyes. After
the glowing ends a large non-transmetal bull jumps out.
“ What tha? Minotaur
Terrorize!” screamed the new protoform as he transforms.
Minotaur whips out a riffle and fires on Megatron and Waspinator.
Quickstrike fires a few volleys of cyber venom before also hit.
Minotaur pauses to work the venom out of his circuitry before firing at
Inferno twice, but missing. “ Fool you will be punished for the…” Inferno
got cut off by Minotaur blasting an energon net at him.
“ Take me on bulls eye!” provoked Rampage as they circle each other.
Megatron slowly gets to his knees. “
Hmmm… this could be eventful. Yesss…”
murmured Megatron. Rampage whips out his tri-barrel cannon.
Then Minotaur throws an axe toward the crab.
The axe plugs the cannon up and it overloads and fires backwards. But
Rampage gets up stunned and fires twice with his rifle like weapon. And before Minotaur can react he gets blasted to the ground.
“ Fool. (Giggle)”
giggled Rampage as Megatron walks to Minotaur.
“ A… Minotaur nice
job… nice job indeed. Yesss…”
said Megatron. “ A… Thanks…”
then he passes out.
Minotaur rises from the Predicon
rejuvenation tank. “ Now that you
have recovered, physically at least, why did you attack us?” asked Megatron as
Minotaur drowsily hops out of the tank. “ Everything and everyone is my enemy
till proven otherwise.” Stated the Predicon coldly.
“ I see… Well, meet our
happy little band.” Said Megatron
sarcastically. “ Happy?” said
Minotaur as he gazes around. “
Yes, but let us get down to business. Is
there anything you specialize in like Demolition or ground to air assault
perhaps.” Asked the Predicon
commander. “ Hunting…
I specialize in hunting.” Stated Minotaur.
“
Hmmm… hunting this could be an advantage.”
Megatron whispered to himself. “ A…
Minotaur could you hunt down and eliminate a large group of Maximals?”
asked Megatron as he scratches his chin. “
It would take time, but of course.” Answered the Predicon bull.
“ Then that is your first assignment.
We’ll lure them out. You
eliminate them.” Ordered Megatron.
It’s quiet and dark.
The moon is shining over the Axolon leaving shadows underneath.
Rampage drives up in tank mode. He
stops and transforms behind a large boulder.
Leveling his cannon, he aims and fires directly at the Maximal shields.
“That’ll wake ya up.” Joked
Rampage.
The Maximals shake at the explosion. “ By the pit! What was that!?!” yelled Rhinox. Cheetor pulls himself up and scrambles to a computer screen. As he activates the screen, we catch a glimpse of the other Predicons firing at the base. “ The shields are down to 80%. They won’t last much longer!” reported Cheetor as the lights flicker. Optimus runs in staggering at another blast, “Activate external auto-guns. Cheetor, Rattrap, Silverbolt you’re with me when the shields fail!” ordered Primal. “ You got it boss monkey.” Said Rattrap as he loads his gun. “ You better go. The shields are just about gone.” Reported Rhinox as he stands from the chair.
Optimus, Cheetor, Rattrap, and
Silverbolt are standing behind the shields.
The shields flicker trying to stay on-line.
Then Rampage blasts 3 more missiles at the base of the shields and they
power down.
“
Isn’t this prime.” Mumbled
Rattrap as they run out to the Preds. “ Inferno, Waspinator take out those guns!” ordered
Megatron. “Yes my queen.”
Praised inferno. Megatron grabs
Inferno by the chin with his attack arm and throws him into a rock. “ Never call me that again drone!” yelled Megatron
angrily. “ Quickstrike aid
Waspinator.” Ordered Megatron as he fires on the Maximals.
“ Yeeehaaa!” screamed Quickstrike as he shoots Optimus with cyber
venom. “ Arrrhhh!” gasped
Optimus as he falls to the ground. “
Rampage take out the fuzor!” again ordered Megatron.
“
And what if I don’t?” replied Rampage.
“ Oh, I think you will,” said Megatron as he squeezes rampages spark
cage. Rampage falls to his knees in pain, “
All right… ALL RIGHT.
You made… your point,” yelled Rampage.
“ Good. Now go!” ordered
the angry tyrant. Rampage takes out
a smaller rifle (seen in Transmutate) and fires at Silverbolt.
“ What da!” screamed Silverbolt as he is blown away by the impact
from the missiles.
(Close up on Megatron)
“
Megatron. Leave some fun for me.”
Said Minotaur over the comm. “ Yesss… but of course.” Megatron answered. “ We’ve drawn them out!
We must retreat to Minotaur’s location!” ordered Megatron. He and the
other Predicons quickly retreat to a forest.
Rhinox then falls out of the south hatch aiming his gun at the air.
“Is everyone all right?” asked the rhino.
“ A… ya.” Said Primal as he struggles to his knees.
“ Hey, big bot take it easy.” Said Cheetor as he holds his gut.
“ We can’t Megatron’s up to…
Argghh…!” gasped Optimus in pain.
“ You’re not going anywhere.” Ordered Rhinox as he lifts Optimus up
to his feet. “…But we have
to… find out what’s up.” Said
Optimus as sparks fly out of his shoulder. Rhinox and Cheetor look at Rattrap
with a smirk. “ What…
Oh no. I’m not spyin’ on
dem again!” complained Rattrap. “Come
on RT you’re always saying you’re a hero so be one for once.”
Said Cheetor as Silverbolt flickers with pain.
“ If it makes you feel any better I’ll come.”
Said Cheetor.
“Oh
I feel real safe now.” Joked Rattrap. “
Get going. Blackaracnia and I will
repair sentinel” ordered Rhinox to the rat and cheetah. “…And you two.” Said
Rhinox to Primal and Silverbolt.
Megatron and the other Predicons are
standing on the edge of the forest appearing to be making plans.
Rattrap drives up and transforms. He
ducks behind a tree. Rattrap taps
his chest “ Yo pussy cat I’m in a forest about 10 kilometers from base.
Get here quick.” Whispered Rattrap.
“Right.”
Answered Cheetor. Suddenly,
Rattrap hears an audible click of a gun being cocked. Rattrap slowly turns his head to look down the barrel of
Minotaur’s gun. He gulps visibly.
“ I recommend you run. Or
I’ll extinguish your spark.” Growled Minotaur. Rattrap gets up and starts
away. Suddenly he turns and draws
his gun, but Minotaur whips his axe and knocks it from his hands.
“ You had your chance mouse.” Minotaur
stated as Rattrap trembles with fear. Then
Minotaur levels his rifle and fires. Rattrap
dives out of the way, grabs his gun, and runs. Then Megatron steps slowly out
from behind a tree. “ Finish
it.” Said Megatron as he nods to
Inferno. “ The royalty commands
that I assist in the hunting.” Stated Inferno.
“ Shhh… Lets go.”
Said Minotaur as he transforms to beast form and runs off in to the
forest. Then Inferno also
transforms and speeds after.
Fade
out
Minotaur transforms and crouches to
pick up a broken twig. Inferno
comes up behind him, but remains in beast mode.
“ What are you doing? The
royalty commands…” “Shut up fool. My prey… he’s here.” Said Minotaur
as he rises slowly and cocks his cannon. Inferno transforms and does the same.
Rattrap begins to sneak out from behind a tree, but Minotaur spots him.
Minotaur fires twice at Rattrap, who dives behind a tree. Both shots hit the tree next to it and it begins to crackle.
“ Your babbling has kept me from my prize, you mindless drone!”
yelled Minotaur. “ You have
failed in your assignment the Royalty will make you pa…” Suddenly the tree
falls over smashing onto the fire ant. “
Idiot.” Smirked Minotaur.
Then he transforms and heads off into the forest again.
Minotaur is running swiftly and silently through the forest, he hears a
sound and stops. He looks around
him self; transforms and brings his
axe out and taps it in the palm of his hand. Rattrap walks slowly out from
behind a tree pointing his gun for Minotaur’s head.
“ Don’t move Predicon. I
got ya now.” Said Rattrap.
“
Hmmm… so ya found me. Hurray for the glorious rat.” Praised Minotaur
sarcastically. “ Drop ya
weapons.” Ordered Rattrap. “
Rattrap!’ yelled Cheetor as he enters view. Rattrap looks up swiftly as
Minotaur throws his axe up into the sky hitting Cheetor’s right jet.
He then spins out of control landing on Rattrap.
“ (Giggle) That was easy.” Giggled Minotaur as he picks his cannon up
and fires one big net around both Cheetor and Rattrap.
“ Again…” Rattrap remarked before falling off-line.
“ I’m worried Rattrap and
Cheetor haven’t reported in yet.” Said Primal as he looks at a grid map of
the land. “ Do you think Megatron
has captured them?” asked Silverbolt. “
If I know Megatron, and I do, he has a secret.” Said Blackaracnia.
“ Silverbolt you’re with me. Rhinox, Blackaracnia we’ll meet you at
the Predicon base.” Said Primal
as he enters the south hatch with Silverbolt following.
Quickstrike
and Minotaur begin hoisting the captured Maximals into their ship.
“ (Grunt) This tin mouse
should go on a diet.” Joked
Quickstrike as Minotaur shots a nasty look at him.
The ground shakes from 2 missile impacts.
Silverbolt and Optimus zoom over head.
Megatron steps out from the ship, “
What was that?” “More prey.”
Smirked Minotaur. Optimus flies towards Minotaur, maces drawn.
As Optimus is closing in, Minotaur takes out his axe and side-steps
Optimus’ charge. As Optimus
passes Minotaur disarms him and knocks him to the ground.
Primal transforms and kicks Minotaur to the ground.
“ Nice try.” Grunted Minotaur as he flips up kicking Optimus in the
face. Silverbolt lands and throws a
wing missile at Minotaur, but a volley of cyber venom from Quickstrike deflects
it. “ Thanks” stated Minotaur
as he rises. The Predicon auto-guns
activate and rise from the ground, “ Maximal energy signager located.” The guns begin firing at Optimus and Silverbolt as they dodge
the shots.
“ It would appear we are out gunned!” Yelled Silverbolt as he and Optimus run behind a large boulder. Rhinox and Blackaracnia run up. “We’ll cover ya!” yelled Blackaracnia as Rhinox and her begin to firing on the guns.
“ Silverbolt get Rattrap and Cheetor!” ordered Optimus as he aims for
Minotaur.
Megatron is watching the whole
battle from his view screen. Waspinator hovers up, “Waspinator
confused why are we not assisting?” asked Waspinator.
“ I’m seeing what Minotaur can really do;
if he is special.” Said Megatron.
“ Waspinator special.” Buzzed Waspinator as he scratches his head.
“ (Giggle) Yes… you are special in a different way.”
Remarked the Predicon commander. “Alert!
Maximal entering Predicon cargo hold.”
Reported the computer. “
Waspinator, Rampage eliminate the intruder.” Ordered Megatron.
“ Crab bot not here.” Stated
Waspinator blankly. “ Hmm… he
must be punished for this absence.” Grunted Megatron.
“ You go then!” bellowed Megatron.
Most of the auto-guns are silent
except for 3-5. Minotaur and
Quickstrike are still blasting away at the Maximals.
No one is winning. “ That’s enough!”
Optimus bellows as he lifts his back cannon forward and begins firing at
the Predicons. (As seen on Coming of the Fuzors: Part 2) Optimus demolishes Minotaur and Quickstrike.
“ Finally. Why didn’t
you do that in the first place.” Sarcastically asked Blackaracnia.
Then Waspinator is blown out of the Predicon hold.
Silverbolt, Cheetor, and Rattrap slowly walk out.
“Let’s get you guys repaired.”
Said Optimus as he transforms to air board mode.
“ That would be a… a good idea.” Said Rattrap as he drives off in
car mode.
