Chapter 1: Discord Ends the Beast Wars
Within the nebula of Nexus Zero the Vok were having a meeting about the Beast Warriors and what to do about them.
“Destroying them didn’t work. Offering them a way home didn’t work. What’s the next plan.” Said the first.
“We could just send them somewhere else.” Replies the second.
“That would be in violation of The Rules.” Points out the first.
“Considering the danger to the time stream we can ignore The Rules this one time.” Said the second.
“Alright, let’s say we send them somewhere else. Where? Back to their world? Vector Prime has made it clear we are to stay a way from Cybertron.”
“And anywhere else would just be dumping our problem on the locals.”
“Why not just send them into the Sun? Give them all a nice tan?” Inserts a third voiced. Though the joking tone indicated they were kidding.
The two Vok turn to stare at the newcomer and quickly became on guard despite their appearance of a Vok they knew right away this being was not one of them.
“Who are you and what do you want?” Said the first Vok.
“Who am I? Nobody important and what do I want? Entertainment and these “Beast Warriors” would be just what the doctor ordered.” Said the newcomer their yellow eyes gleam with mischief.
“What are you proposing?” Asks the second.
“What? We can’t just trust this person.” Said the first.
“Desperate times call for desperate measures. You want them? You can have them and feel free to take these two as well.” The second Vok motions to the immobile forms of Tigatron and Airazor.
“Great! I’ll send you both a TV so you can watch the fun yourselves!” The newcomer laughs before disappearing alongside the two Maximals.
“…should I get some snacks?” Asks the first.
“Might as well.” Sighs the second.
The Predacons were just getting ready for Quickstrike’s trial when there was a blinding flash and the sound of trumpets were heard.
When the light fades and they can see again there is a strange mix matched creature with a goat’s head standing before them.
“Hello I am Discord and I’m here to take you to a world of magic and friendship are you ready!?” He said cheerfully.
The Predacons take a moment to process what he said before finally,
“Shoot him.” Megatron said. As one the other Predacons draw their weapons take aim and fire blasting the strange creature to pieces.
Well that’s what was supposed to of happened, but instead their weapons either sprayed confetti, make kazoo noises, or on the case of Megatron’s dragon arm go completely limp and just hang there like he was having “performance issues”.
“Now, now none of that I’m here to help you!” Discord said.
“Help us how?” Rampage said all but snarling.
“How would you like to be free of your chains? Or even better have a second chance with Transmutate?”
“…I’m listening.” Rampage said.
“I think not no Dinobot remind Rampage of his place.” Megatron said.
Dinobot complies and stars squeezing Rampage’s spark causing the crab to start screaming in pain.
“Well that’s not very nice.” Discord said he then snaps his fingers.
And just like that Rampage abruptly stops screaming and Dinobot proceeds to start screaming in pain falling to his knees.
“What did you do to my spark?” Rampage gasps. The part of his spark in his “half brother” felt different somehow like it was no longer his.
“Oh I completely split your spark you two are now twins I believe the term is called? Basically you’re real brothers now. Anyways now that I just gave you my first offer for free how would you like the second one?”
“What’s the catch?” Rampage asks.
“Now wait just a cycle here.” Megatron said getting to his feet.
“Oh stay still for a bit will you.” Discord snaps his fingers freezing Megatron and just for good measure Inferno in place.
“What are you?” Rampage asks genuinely curious.
“I’m a draconequus.” Discord said.
“I have no idea what that is.” Rampage said, “but tell me how can give me a second chance with Transmutate.“
“Well I can’t revive the dead, but there is another version of her in the world I’m sending you all too.”
“…again what’s the catch?” Rampage repeats folding his arms.
“Nothing much you just need to agree to reform, to change your ways, to atone for the horrible things you’ve done in the past. Basically? Become an anti-hero.” Discord answers as he leans on Rampage’s shoulder while munching on an apple.
Rampage considers that for a moment. “Is that all?”
“Yep, so do we have a deal?” Discord asks as holds out his hand.
“Yes we have a deal.” Rampage said shaking hands. “But how I will find Transmutate in this new world?”
“No worries she’ll be brought to you.” Discord chuckles before snapping his fingers again and Rampage disappears to parts unknown.
“Oops can’t forget your brother!” Discord said and with another snap Dinobot disappears too.
“Now let’s see who’s next?” Discord rubs his hand together in contemplation.
A whimpering buzzing catches his attention and he turns to his right to see Waspinator trying to hide behind Megatron.
“Ah yes everybody’s favorite chew toy.” Discord said to himself.
“Pleazzze don’t hurt Wazzzpinator!” Waspinator begs.
“I would never dream of harming you Waspinator the fan base would never forgive me.”
“Or maybe they’ll juzzzt laugh.”
“Please they’re fans they can do both.” Discord waves off his pessimism. “First off let’s go lava fishing shall we?”
“Lava fizzzhing?”
That was when a large magnet appears out of thin air floating over the center of the room. Discord pushes a button attached to the magnet and starts it up. Seconds later two very badly burned shapes are pulled up from the lava and foam into the magnet with a loud clang.
Waspinator stares in silence as he realizes just who Discord had just fished out.
“My my they’ve both seen better days let’s fix them up shall we?” Discord waves his hands and just like that Terrorsaur and Scorponok were quickly repaired and both were Transmetal.
Discord rubs his chin frowning thoughtfully.
“You know something? The Transmetal look just doesn’t work for the scorpion. What to do about it?” He glances at Waspinator and gets an idea.
“Say Waspy would you like to become a Transmetal?”
“What you can do that?”
“I’ll take that as a yes!”
And with one notably badass finger snap Scorponok began to glow with quantum energy which then jumps from him and rams into Waspinator sending the bug flying into a wall.
When the light show was over Scorponok was no longer transmetal and Waspinator takes a few seconds to peel himself on the wall and as he falls catches himself with his wings.
His new transmetal wings.
Discord appears next to him holding a large mirror for Waspinator to look himself over with.
“Wazzzpinator look pretty.”
“Indeed I for one think the black and red suits you perfectly the ladies won’t be able to keep their hooves er hands off you!”
“Hoovezzz?” Waspinator repeated catching that slip up.
“Don’t worry about it you won’t be going to that world anyways.” Discord waves away his question.
“Well what do you want Waspinator before I send you on your way? What do you desire?”
Waspinator thought about that. He could ask for anything? What was the one thing he wanted more than anything else? Power? Glory? To not get blown up anymore? With that thought he knew what he wanted.
“…Wazzzpinator wantzzz to be happy.”
“Alright happiness it is! Have fun with your new family!” Discord sends Waspinator along with Terrorsaur and Scorponok away.
“Family?” Waspinator manage to say before he vanishes.
With them gone Discord remembers he has a captive audience to deal with.
“Unlike with those two I won’t be granting the rest of you any wishes.” Discord said casually floating over to the frozen Megatron.
“I will be sending this back to where it belongs though.” He reaches inside Megatron and pulls out the spark of his namesake before sending it back to where it belongs with another finger snap.
“Well with that taken care of. Off you all go.” And with one final snap Megatron, Inferno, and Quickstrike (who’d been unusually quiet during the proceedings. In a rare moment of intelligence he decided to stay silent after the creature froze Megatron and Inferno with a finger snap.) away to some place else.
“Now on to the Maximals!” Discord said before vanishing himself.
//////
The Maximals had gone by a lot quicker mostly because Discord didn’t have any reason to speak with them and just snapped them
away.
However there were still the Maximals in the stasis pods scattered across the planet to take into account.
Of course he just had to use a bit of magic and ta-da all the stasis pods were right in front of him.
“Now what to do with these?” He muses. Obviously he was going to send them to the same world as the other Maximals but something stopped him.
The problem was there were let’s see one, two, three…
…forty four, forty five, forty six. Forty six stasis pods. Forty six Maximals plus the nine other Maximals would mean well a lot more Maximals than Predacons.
And where would the fun in that be? He snaps his fingers and just like that half the pods were now Predacons. A part of him notes he did just brainwash twenty three innocent people into evil, but well it wasn’t like the ones he made into Predacons weren’t going to become Predacons anyways given all the different timelines he had watched. That was pretty much their fate. Fixed points in time could be a pain like that. It was out of his hands.
On the other hoof what would Fluttershy say? That thought made him frown till he remembers: they’d become Predacons anyways.
So with a quick thought and another finger snap all the protoforms were now neither Maximal nor Predacon they would now be able to “choose” their side. That’d make things more gray and more chaotic. At the very least this would mean the future Predacons wouldn’t be mustache twirling villains because of a shell program but be more like punch clock villains. Besides it would make their eventual reformation easier if they weren’t brainwashed. Granted it’d be nothing a rainbow to the face couldn’t cure but still.
So this would make it thirty two Maximals verse thirty one Predacons. A nice even battle of good and evil.
Discord pauses and runs the numbers in his head again. Thirty two Maximals and thirty one Predacons? He was one bad guy short!
“Oh right!” Discord said realizing he had one last target to pick up.
////
Tarantulas was in his lair working away on his computer. He had watched one by one as the Maximals and Predacons were sent away by the strange creature that had appeared.
“If I hurry I can complete my mission now that everyone else is out of the way!” Tarantulas chuckles to himself albeit nervously. It was only a matter of time before that thing came looking for him too.
He turns around to go get something from another part of his lab and comes face to face with the creature who stares at him with a wicked smile.
“Thought I forgot about you didn’t you?” Discord said grinning.
Tarantulas gulps in fear.
