//------------------------------// // Cybertron Adventures // Story: Transformers Beast Hunters: Dawn of the Dinobots // by Metroid Prime //------------------------------// Ser-Ket was once a Decepticon, but Shockwave crossed her C.N.A. with that of a Predacon and was put in charge of a group of Predacon/Decepticon hybrids called the "Forge" a task force sent to capture Cybertronians and reforge them into Predacons, she is loyal only to Shockwave. The to Royal leaders of both races of equines eyed each other, Twilight thought that all Tatarus would break loose any second now. But instead a conversation started. "I know that your Changelings are in a bad shape" Celestia said Chrysalis stood their for a second. "Yes, and what does that concern of you?" "If you corporate throughout the rest of this endeavor I will see that the Changelings crimes are pardoned and granted amnesty. Twilight could not believe the words she was hearing. "You can't be serious!" Rainbow Dash said "And I thought reforming Discord was a bad idea but this is the Queen of the Changelings where talking about!" Ignoring the conversation A.K.A. argument, Grimlock thought back to the days that lead him to where he is now. ~~~Flashback~~~ "All...hail....Shockwave" the words came from Swoops mouth like a zombie, or a posseds person. "Don't look so surprised Grimlock" Ser-Ket said The Dinobots had just rescued Ultra Magnus, and now they where in the process of Rescuing Swoop, or at least, trying. "Oh no, Swoop!" Snarl said "What did you do to him Ser Ket?!" Grimlock asked "I simply enforced Shockwaves original programing!" "All...Hail...Shockwave" Swoop muttered again, Grimock noticed that his dino head had an eye patch on the left eye. "I may have gone a little to far, but who are we to fight out source code?" Ser-Ket added "You scraphead!" Slug transformed into his Dino mode. "I'll melt your plating off!" Slug started to breath fire. "Slug wait!" Grimlock block him off. Ultra Magnus laid a hand on Grimlocks shoulder. "Grimlock Swoops gone. We need to save the bots we can and- "Switch off Ultra Magnus!" Grimlock remarked "This is Dinobot business" Grimlock unsheathed his sword and shield. "One fight. One outcome Ser-Ket! You.. and me! I win you fix Swoop let us all go. You win... we all submit just like Swoop" "And why would I agree to that when you are so clearly outnumbered?" Ser-Ket pointed out "Bigger the battle, more chance we ALL die, and dead Dinobots...not so useful to you, Or you master!" Grimlock responded Slug stepped forward. "Grim, wait we can help!" "Already have" Grimlock said "You really think Ser-Ket will fix Swoop if you win? We can't trust her!" Snarl said "Maybe not, but shes the only one who can get him back" "Done commiserating Grimlock!?" Ser-Ket said "The more we wait the more anxious my brothers become" Grimlock and Ser-Ket got into battle position. Sek-Ket powered up her fails and energon sword. "Don't worry Grimlock, I promise to reattach whatever I cut off!" "The time for talk is over, Dinobots! Give me room!" The Dinobots breather fire around the duo encircling the area around them with flame. "Impressive a fitting backdrop!" Ser-Ket said "For your fall!" Sek-Ket and Grimlock clashed weapons, even with his damaged processor Grimlock was able to see the obvious about his foe. "So fast" he thought to himself. He bash her face with his sheild. "Her tail, she uses it like a weapon", Grimlock processed this as her tail met his face. "Need to get her off balance!" He concluded. "Too slow brute" Sek-Ket said, but those words where nulled when Grimlock slugged her face. "Come on Grimlock, change to your beast form, your TRUE form, the form OUR master gave you!" Grimlock tried not to listen. "You know its the only way you'll be strong enough to defeat me!" However Grimlock knew this was true, Ser-Ket was a formidable warrior, the only option of winning the match was through his Dino form, but if he did that, he would likely loose control and give into the rage the fueled him. However Grimlock was pulled from this flashed back by the sound of a pink ponies voice. ~~~~~~~~End of flashback~~~~~~~ "Grimlock!" Snapping out of his daydream Grimlock saw Pinkie Pie looking up at him. "Come on the groups leaving" Grimlock looked as the group was heading to the entrance of the Hall of Records, he and Pinkie gave pursuit. Upon catching he was update by Jazz, apparently the ponies had calmed down and Chrysalis had accepted the alliance for peace between the changelings for a s long as it was mutually beneficial, also they now going to discuss the current situation. Alpha Trion spoke first. "With the Allspark back where it belongs Cybertrons population is saved from exciton" All the Autobots nodded in agreement. "But with the lose of the Omega Lock, rebuilding the planet and restoring it will be even harder" Then the Autobots look at each other in confusion. "Whats the Omega lock?" Ironhide asked "The Omega lock was built to restore Cybertron less it was brought to this state, it is activated be its special four omega keys, sadly the lock and its keys are now loss" "How did this happen?" Hot Shot asked The lock was destroyed in a battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron. The Autobots optics widened. "Optimus and Megatron where here?" Scattershot asked "Indeed, I had sent Optimus a message and a list of coordinates detailing the location of the Omega keys and the lock, unfortunately the Decepticons obtained the same codes and also learn of the locks existence, the final battle resulted in Megatron using the lock to build his fortress on Earth and Optimus destroying the lock to save Earths lifeforms" The Autobots where in disbelief, but they understood why their leader did what he did, had they had the choice between saveing their world or another, they would not abandon the living over the desolate. "How do you know of all this?" Swoop asked Alpha Trion did not answer. "That is a story for another time, for now our main focus is assisting Optimus in defeating Megatrons forces on Earth" "Okay, you the old and wise one" Grimlock said "What do you suggest we do?" "First of all we must use the Allspark to restore Iacons defenses and rebuild the city, without the power of the Omega lock the Allspark cannot use its full power, but we can use limited pockets of its energy to rebuild what little we can" "Then its settled we will get Iacon battle ready and build a space bridge that can take us to... where is Optimus and his team?" Grimlock asked Alpha Trion look at Grimlock, then at the group. "They are on a planet called Earth" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The group split off into groups of two, an Autobot was paired with a Changeling while soem had ponies Jazz worked with Pinkie, Rarity worked with Tracks, Applejack with Ironhide, Fluttershy with Beachcomber, Rainbow Dash with Grimlock, Twilight with Perceptor, Scattershot with Shining Armor, and Alpha Trion and Alchemist Prime oversaw the work with Celestia and Luna. And so began the reconstruction of Iacon
