//------------------------------// // Transformation // Story: Phantom War V: Dawning of Darkness // by Danny Eclipse //------------------------------// The next day… I was in my Transformer Form and testing my new form. My Riot Cannon was very powerful and fully capabilities. I transformed into my vehicle form and I looked like an alien tank. I shot a nearby tree, destroying it completely. I returned to my normal form and grinned at the smoking ashes of the tree. I see Charming approaching and he was awestruck from the destroyed tree. Charming asked in confusion and anger “How can you transformed and I can’t?” “Well, I don’t know how to…but I think you need to establish a connection to Primus. Time for some meditation, Charming Thunder.” Charming nodded and we began to walk towards outskirts of Ponyville. We arrived to the outskirts and I laid a blanket down on the ground along with two cushions. I sat on one cushion while Charming sat on the other cushion. “Now, the objective here today is to look into the medallion and establish a connection to Primus’ power. To achieve the power, you must look through the knowledge of the primes and speak with Primus directly. Knowing Primus from Unicron, he will be willing to offer you some power but there are times when you take the power by force. I know you aren’t the violent type when power is needed but you must take the power by force and combined it to your very being. If you have to, fight Primus, face-to-face. I’ll be there to help you when you most need it.” Charming nods and I put my hoof on Charming’s medallion. Charming closed his eyes and began to focus on the medallion in his mind. I appeared next to Charming as we opened our eyes. We found ourselves in a magical place. We began to walk forward, passing all types of words, memories, etc. We arrived to what looked like a giant chamber. In the center of the chamber was Primus himself. Behind him was the Matrix of Leadership, on the wall with all of its glory. “Remember; you must fight Primus if doesn’t give you direct connection to his very might. Hopefully, we won’t need to fight. But if we must, then you will know that I will have your back.” Charming nod and began to walk towards Primus. He found some sort of hovercraft and managed to get on it to talk to Primus, face-to-face. Primus said “Hello my champion. What can I do for you today?” Charming requested “Primus, I need to establish a direct link with your power. You are holding me back and I demand to know why.” Primus sighs in defeating, knowing this was going to happen. Primus replied his explanation “I fear that you will misuse my power and you will use it for your own self desires. I’ve already seen your dark side and I feared that you will fall for that again. That’s why I refuse to give you the power required.” Charming replied “But Danny has unlocked his power and he hasn’t misused it yet. Besides, I’ve shown you countless times that I won’t fall for selfish desires.” Primus said “Still…I can’t let you have this power.” Charming was angry. Not only did Primus not trust him but Primus won’t even allow him to further his grip on the power. Charming wasn’t power hungry but if Primus won’t allow him to access the power of Level 3 and transformation, he knew he would have to take if by force. Charming looked toward me and nods. I nodded back and flew up to Charming. Primus was surprised to see me in the medallion. Primus demanded “What is the meaning of this!?” “If you won’t give the power willingly, then we shall take it by force Primus. Charming WILL have access to that power if you like it or not!” Primus laughed at the empty threat. However, he regretted it when I summoned the Dark Star Saber, jumped at him, and slashed at him. Primus was pushed back slightly. Charming summons the Star Saber and the two of us ready ourselves for battle. Primus shouted with rage “You think you can come here to take whatever you like!?” “You refused to allow access so our only way to control it is by enforcing restrains on you. We tried to be diplomatic but if you allow access then we will have to MAKE access. Charming, get to the Matrix of Leadership. I’ll handle Primus with Unicron.” Charming nods and I transformed into my Transformer Form. I jumped up and landed on a platform. I fired my Riot Cannon at Primus, which hit him square. Primus growled with rage and attacks me. I dodged the attack and noticed that Charming was running to the Matrix while Primus was distracted. ‘Unicron, I could use a hoof here.’ I said to Unicron through thought Unicron replied with glee “Thought you wouldn’t asked!” Primus was about to attack again until I began to radiate with dark energy. Primus attacks and I summoned a Dark Energy Mace and managed to hit the massive hand, cracking the metal on it. Primus roared with rage and I jumped down and landed on Primus’ shoulder. I began to run up to his head and Primus was trying to grab me. I evaded the hands and my hands began to glow purple as the purple energy formed into Hammers. I slammed the dark hammers against Primus’ head and he was send launched backwards some bit, colliding against a wall. I transformed into my vehicle form and fired my cannon at Primus’ chest where he spark was at. The blast hit Primus’ chest and damaged it, not severally but scorch marks were revealed there. Primus shouted with great rage “You will regret fighting me!!” When Primus was about to attack, there was a blue glow and we looked. The Matric’s energy had grabbed Charming and Charming was pulled into the center core. Primus’ optics narrowed when he saw the Matrix infusing its power into Charming Thunder. Charming came out after a few seconds, the power fused into his very being. Blue markings were all over Charming and he erupted into a blue light. When the light dimmed, standing there was a new Charming Thunder. He was now a transformer. He looked like a combination of a truck and tank transformer. He was red with some yellow streaks on him. The Autobot logo was on his chest and I grinned at his appearance. Charming gave out a roar of power and saw his blue energy markings light up to that roar. Charming looks at us and I nodded to his direction. Primus began to get up, angry clear on his face. I jumped to Charming’s side and Primus stared at the both of us. Primus shouted in even greater rage “You arrogant fools!! I’ll destroy you here and now!!” Primus looked ready to squish us but both me and Charming had different ideas. I transformed into my vehicle form and fired my cannon at Primus’ foot, cracking it and making him fall backwards. Charming’s right arm transformed into a Neutron Assault Rifle [FOC] and he jumped up. He began to open fire at Primus’ head and I returned to my robot form. I jumped up and landed on a platform. I shot at Primus’ chest again and hit him again, cracking the wound more. We stopped and looked at the exhausted Primus. “We beat you on fair ground. You know the rules Primus and now you must follow them.” I said with a smirk. Charming asked “What rules?” “Of course Primus never told you. Unicron told me AFTER I beat him in fair game.” When Charming was about to reply, we heard Primus chuckling and we looked at him. Primus said that sounded like an accusing “I knew he wouldn’t give you the power willingly. You took it by force, didn’t you?” “Yes. You see, Charming, there is a pair of rules that Gods must follow. If the god loses to his Champion, the god has to offer complete and total support to their champion against their will. Primus still helps you, but now he is at your mercy. Primus is forced to give you the power you require. Now, we must continue our training to expand our power. And they can’t hold us back anymore. Come now, let us leave. The portal is back where we came from.” Charming nodded and we went into our vehicle form. Mine was still a tank while Charming’s look like a truck combined with a tank. We made it to the portal and entered. We opened our eyes and we see that we were still in our normal forms and I smiled. “Now that we got that out of the way. Ready for some training?” I asked Charming replied with a smile “You know it, brother.”
