Hey there folks chapter 5 coming at you. With a time-skip into season 3. And now through a friend talking and getting me to do this, Now this has elements from Ultraman, which I don't own, but wish I did.

And so the group after a couple of weeks set up camp and supplies for weeks as they prepared to enter the temple.

Waspinator said, "Waspinator ready for temple!"

Okay team, now listen up, we don't know anything about this temple or what may lie inside. So we have to stick together and should we have to split up, make sure you stay with your partner. Any questions?" Jack asked

Scourge asked, "Do you think Megatron and those Vehicons have figured out where we are?"

No, thanks to Soundwave, who sent some tech over, this Mobile Headquarters has detected no signs of Buckethead, so we're good. Besides if the 3 weapons inside are as powerful as I think they are, we need them. Because Megatron has a new weapon, the dark star saber. Which he used to damage the Star Saber, when he and Optimus clashed for claim over a Omega key." said Jack.

Primal said, "Good. But will there be other enemies in this temple?"

Hmm, thanks to Prowl and Jazz training me in the ways of Processor over Matter, I can sense no evil inside but there are guardians, probably placed inside in case of grave robbers. said Jack.

Galvatron said, "So we should be on our guard."

Jack nods in agreement.

Okay people, transform and move out!" said Jack.

And with that, they all transformed.

Then the group moved inside the temple.

As they did, they looked around and saw on the walls pictures of creatures and warriors fighting alongside Cybertronians

Tarantulas said, "Whoa! Look at all those pictures!"

Yes." said Jack as he takes a closer look.

Hmm, " Long ago, during the time for peace upon Cybertron, there came a day when the peace was destroyed by a invader named Chaos Seijin." said Jack as he reads the words on the wall.

Tidal Wave asked, "Chaos Seijin?"

Then they came upon a wall that showed 12 warriors each looking like knights standing alongside 6 titan sized cybertronians as they charged against a foe with the warriors.

This alien invader called upon armies of monsters as our guardian knights and dinobots stood alongside the Ultramen to fight this foe." continued Jack.

Primal asked, "Is that referring to Grimlock and the other Dinobots?"

Then it shows a picture of the 6 dinobots in question. A gigantic T-rex, A Apatosaurus, A Velociraptor, A two headed Pteranodon, A Triceratops, and a Spinosaurus.

"The six, Tyrannus, Slog, Slash, Strafe, Stab and Scorn, took it upon themselves to guard their home from this invader. Eventually the other warriors of Cybertron stood with them." said Jack as he kept reading.

Then it shows a picture that surprises them. It shows Megatron standing beside a warrior that had what looks like two blades on his head as it shows him having a blue dot on his chest and a green on his head.

Galvatron said, "I recognize Megatron. But who's that with him?"

It says his name is Ultraman Zero." said Jack as he reads it.

Scourge asked, "Why's he with Megatron in this picture?"

Remember Scourge this was before the great split. And apparently Megatron really is older than he looks. said Jack.

Tarantulas said, "I wonder if Tyrannus and those other Dinobots are still around."

Let's keep reading." said Jack.

Eventually what turned hours of battle to days, the people of cybertron looked to it's leader for guidance, Zeta Prime, the prime that came before Optimus." said Jack.

They see a picture showing said bot as the other warriors stand before him.

With battle taking many lives, Zeta called upon ancient weapons to battle this evil, The Galaxy Saber and Sword of Triumph, the signature weapons created by and used by one of the 13 original primes. Megatronus prime." said Jack.

Then they see a picture showing Zeta standing beside Megatron and the other warriors as he holds said sword and shield.

Primal said, "One of those weapons must be here in this temple."

Or both. said Galvatron.

Through the powers of these united heroes they saved the day. But with such a weapon in their hands, Zeta and the council decided to send the Giga Battlenizer off world. The Guardian knights and dinobots decided to join in stasis to protect the artifact. The Ultras, the good and reformed, decided to seal themselves inside the staff. Then Zeta decided to see that the weapon would only be used by good. So he tied its use to the sword and shield. To the one who's heart it just and full of kindness, the sword and shield will lift only to them and through their removal will the Giga battlenizer be revealed." said Jack as he read more.

Then it shows Zeta putting the Sword and shield into pedastals and sending it off in a ship with the dinos and knights and the Ultras flying into the staff.

Waspinator said, "Waspinator think story is cool!"

Indeed, so we not only have found weapons but warriors to stand with us." said Tigertron

Tarantulas said, "We just need to find them."

Yes now let's split up and look, we'll search faster in groups." said Jack.

Scourge asked, "Who wants to partner up with me?"

Waspinator will go." said the bug bot

Tarantulas asked, "Anyone want to go with me?"

Tidal Wave, I will go with you." said the big bot.

Tigertron asked, "Does anyone want to be my partner?"

I will go with you." said Primal.

Galvatron you're with me." said Jack.

Galvatron said, "Right. Stay safe, everyone."

And with that everyone took a separate walkway, in search of the weapons.

Meanwhile back at base, everything was going wrong.

Because thanks to Starscream, who had red energon inside him, he stole the omega keys for the omega lock. Then Megatron set it's sight upon Earth ready to blast it into a new Cybertron for him to conquer. But thanks to the quick thinking of Optimus he stopped them by destroying the lock.

But victory was short as Megatron made a citadel called Darkmount which he then used his forces to destroy the bot's base.

Skywarp said to Thundercracker, "Thundercracker, I'm starting to think that Jack shouldn't have left after all!"

Yes, not only did the bots lose the base, but we lost Optimus as well. said Thundercracker.

Vector prime walked to the twins.

Have faith, Ultimus will return with the weapons he searches for. Thanks to our spies inside Dreadwing was able to get out before he was killed when he tried to take on Starscream. And thanks to them we have added Shockwave to our ranks but they must now be twice as careful because of Starscream." said the Prime.

Skywarp said, "I just hope Shockwave will be alright."

Shockwave is Shockwave remember. Especially with that Predacon of his, glad he's on our side." said Thundercracker.

Skywarp said, "Me too. Where's Dreadwing right now?"

Speaking with Skyquake, thanks to the efforts of Jack and the medics, they were able to save him." said Vector.

Skywarp said, "Good! I just hope Megatron doesn't find this base as well."

Please, this base has shielding from detection, same as the Aqua base, Mars base and the moon base. Along with the others." said Hot Shot as he walked up

Skywarp said, "Just wanted to be sure. I think we all agree that this is all our former brother Starscream's fault for crawling back to Megatron!"

Yeah Starscream was bound to go crawling back. Any word from the others?" Thundercracker asked as he walked up to Soundwave and Echo as they stood by the comm systems.

Skywarp said worried, "I just hope they're okay!"

Arcee and Blackarachnia are okay, and the bots have met up with Ultra Magnus." said Echo.

Hound and the other wrecks heard that and groaned

Ironhide said, "You've gotta be kidding me!"

What's wrong?" Vector prime asked the Wreckers

Skywarp asked, "Is Ultra Magnus really that bad?"

No it's just that he's a real fun killer. Back on Cybertron Optimus assigned him to "get us in line" That's why we left the wreckers. He killed the fun." said Hound.

Thundercracker said, "Fun killer or not, he's the best hope for the Bots until Jack gets back."

Vector Prime, Rodimus and Alpha Trion clear their throats.

Thundercracker added sheepishly, "Besides you three, of course."

Rodimus said, "Much better."

Indeed, I may not be built for battle but I am still a prime" said the Archivist Prime.

Hot Shot said, "Just hope everyone in Jasper made it out okay."

Agent Fowler made sure to that. Rafael, Bumblebee, Wasp and Ratchet have taken refuge in the Harbinger along with the others. Thankfully Vibe's warning gave us enough time to get everyone out. Unfortunately, The Forge and Apex armor are back with the cons. But for some reason on decepticon chatter, it says the forge is missing." said Soundwave.

Skywarp said, "I wonder what happened to it."

Most likely, Smokescreen. I haven't been able to reach him or Optimus." said Echo.

Thundercracker said, "Assuming Optimus is still alive."

Optimus is alive, I know it." said Rodimus.

Skywarp asked, "Should we radio Arcee and the others?"

Hmm, no but I hope Ultimus hurries because Ultra Magnus said he was preparing a mission to take down Darkmount." said Vector

Thundercracker asked, "You think it's gonna work?"

Let's hope and pray that Jack returns before Magnus attacks." said Hot Shot.

Meanwhile back at the temple. Jack and Galvatron are walking down a walk way.

Leobreaker come in, are comms still working?" asked Jack as he talks to the lion bot as he's stationed inside the MHQ.

Leobreaker replied, "I read you loud and clear!"

Okay then I sense I'm getting closer to the relics. Any word from the others?" he asked

Leobreaker said to the others, "Guys, do you read me?"

Everyone gave him a greet letting him know that they heard him.

Leobreaker asked, "Have you guys found anything yet?"

Everyone said no.

There's your answer, chief." said Leobreaker

Scourge said, "It's quiet. Too quiet."

Hmm, Waspinator second that. If big scary bots were put in to keep out grave robbers, where are they?" the bug bot asked

Tidal Wave said, "Maybe it's a hidden trap."

Or maybe it's because we haven't done anything to make them think we've come here with ill intent." said Tigertron.

Tarantulas said, "We should keep it that way."

Yes, we should. Leobreaker any word from Optimus or Arcee or mom?" Jack asked as he and Galvatron duck through some cobwebs

Scourge said, "I have a feeling that something bad might have happened to them."

Anything?" Jack asked the lion bot

Leobreaker said, "Nothing. Which is kinda weird."

While you contact Soundwave we'll keep searching because I think we found them." said Jack.

He and Galvatron stand in front of giant closed door.

Galvatron asked, "Ready, Jack?"

Ready." he said. The two push the doors open.

Galvatron called out, "Is anyone there?"

They hear nothing.

Hmm ready yourself. Maybe a trap." said Jack.

Galvatron said, "Right."

Galvatron then took out his sword.

The two walks inside. Jack gasps as he sees the sword and shield without a speck of dust on them. The Galaxy sword looks like the star saber but it's all gold. And the Shield of Triumph looks like the one from dino thunder. Around it are 18 statues, 12 look like the knights ( from the movie) and the 6 statues of the dinobots ( look em up some are from the age of extinction movie and some are toys)

Galvatron said in awe, "Amazing!"

Are you worthy?!" shouted voices as the two approached.

Galvatron said, "Of course we are! We mean you no harm!"

Come forward and see if you are worthy of the 3 relics of power! said the voices again.

Who are you? Where are you?" Jack asked.

The 12 knights statues begin to move.

We are the guardian knights, protectors of the 3 weapons. Prove yourself if you are worthy of them." they said.

Galvatron asked, "How do we do that?"

Simple, see if you can lift the sword and shield. If you can, that means your heart is pure and can use the giga battlenizer and lead us and the dinobots. If not, then you're not worthy." said one knight.

Jack gently moves Galvatron.

I'll handle this." he said.

Galvatron said, "Good luck."

Jack moves through the knights and goes up to the two weapons used by Megatronus.

Then to everyone's surprise he lifted them up. The knights bowed to him.

As he holds them his armor begins to shift and on his head is what looks like a crown.

Galvatron gasped and said, "That looks like the crown worn by the Starscream on our side!"

We serve our king, all hail the king!" said the knights.

The dinobot statues begin to move as the open a new door showing a staff with glowing blue dots on the ends, the giga battlenizer.

Galvatron said, "That must be it."

One of the knights walks over and retreives the staff before kneeling and holding it to him.

Jack asked, "What's the name of this staff?"

This is the giga battlenizer, Zeta prime told us only one who can lift the weapons is worthy of it. said one of the knights.

Jack said, "I guess that's me."

The knights nod.

Jack looks to the staff and he gives it all of his attention, as he's pulled into a vision.

While this was happening, Galvatron contacted Leobreaker and asked, "Leobreaker, any word from Soundwave, Optimus, and the others?"

None from Optimus, but Soundwave just informed me that Ultra Magnus is launching an attack on Darkmount. said Leobreaker.

Galvatron asked in shock, "What?! What's Darkmount?! What happened while we were gone?!"

A lot. We need Ultimus." said Leobreaker.

Galvatron said, "Jack's in the middle of something. But once he's done, I'll tell him what you told me."

Leobreaker cuts the comm.

In Jack's Vision.

He stands before beings of light which reveal themselves to be Ultraman through to the newest Geed.

You have proven yourself worthy of this power along with ours, simply call upon us if need." said Ultraman King as he and the others nod and he's engulfed in light.

He finds himself back in the temple.

Galvatron said to Jack solemnly, "Jack, something bad happened to Optimus and the others while we were gone."

I know I sensed it. But Optimus will return more powerful than ever. Now let's go outside." said Jack as he stands tall and leads the knights and the dinobots follow.

Galvatron said to Tidal Wave, "Tidal Wave! This is Galvatron! You and the others meet with me and Jack. We have a crisis on our hands!"

Yes sir!" said Tidal Wave as he and the others race outside.

Out of the hole Jack stands before everyone. And looks at the dinobots.

Attention, you have a choice. Stand with us and stop all this chaos or you stand against me." said Jack leaving it short and to the point.

Tyrannus moves Stab out of the way and roars as he tries to strike Jack with his weapon.

Tyrannus then does a horizontal swipe at Jack who then runs up his right arm and punches him in the face knocking him down.

Before Tyrannus can get up Jack lands on his chest.

You will defend my family, or I will kill you." threatened Jack as he holds the sword to the gigantic dinobots neck.

Tyrannus grunts as he gets up.

Let's get this thing started." said Jack.

Soundwave, bridge us to Arcee's location." said Jack.

Soundwave said, "Right. It's good to have you back, sir."

Okay everyone get ready because now we take the battle to Megatron. Said Jack.

Galvatron clenched his fists and said, "I just hope we're not too late!"

Not on my watch. Said Jack as a groundbridge opens up and they walk through it.

Scourge said, "We're coming for you, Megatron!"

As they exit they find themselves outside the harbinger.

Leobreaker called out, "Arcee! Bulkhead! Miko! Is anyone here?"

Sensei! Said Drift as he Hound, Crosshairs, Hot Rod and the others come out.

Tarantulas asked, "Hot Rod! What happened while we were gone?"

Well we found a Omega key inside smokescreen, Starscream used Red energon to snatch the other keys, Optimus blew up the Omega lock and that's pretty much everything. Said Hot Rod.

Galvatron asked, "Is Optimus okay?!"

We haven't heard from him. Said Ratchet.

Jack you look - said Arcee as she couldn't find a word.

Soldier where have you been? Said Ultra Magnus as he walks forward,

One of the knights walks forward bringing out his ax.

Have care how you speak for you speak to the king of Cybertron. Said the knight

Jack said sadly, "I'm sorry, Arcee. If I didn't leave, none of this would be happening right now."

June holds him.

Jack you didn't know any of this would happen, so stop blaming yourself. Optimus would want you to. She said.

Jack said, "Alright."

Leobreaker said to Ultra Magnus, "Long story short, we were in a temple getting ancient Cybertronian weapons."

Ratchet gasps.

You hold the Galaxy Sword and the shield of triumph! The signature weapons of Megatronus prime! Not only that but the giga battlenizer! Jackson do you know how much power you have gained?! Said Ratchet

Primal said, "Enough to take Megatron on even with the Dark Star Saber."

Megatron used the forge of solus prime to create it. He doesn't deserve it. After I'm done with him I'll find someone within my ranks more suited for it. Said Jack.

Child, do you even know the words you are saying? Said Ultra Magnus.

Galvatron asked, "Are you really questioning a Prime right now?"

I'm questioning a child, he may be called a Prime but from what I see he's far from being one. Said Ultra Magnus.

You have something you want to say to me, commander douchebag? Said Jack

Arcee said, "I'll have you know that Jack is my boyfriend!"

Blackarachnia said, "Same with me!"

Look Commander I know you served as my fathers commanding officer during the war, but now you follow me. Now everyone listen up. Before we can even try to attack Darkmount we first need a way to thin the decepticon ranks. Ratchet am I right in when they're monitoring communications to try and find us? Said Jack turning to the medic.

Ratchet said, "That's right!"

Then we will use that against them. Soundwave, Echo its time for some mischief. Said Jack as he called them.

Echo said, "It's an honor to finally meet you in person, Ultimus."

He and Soundwave walk out of a groundbridge.

Now let's head inside and discuss the plan. Said Jack.

Waspinator hissed, "Waspinator gonna enjoy smashing Decepticons!"

Good. Said Jack,

He walks inside and types on the computer showing a map.

Thanks to Vibe he's been cloaking our comms but now we're going to play on Starscreams ego and have you two send out false radio signals to Wyoming, then here in New York then send a false signal for help from one of their energon mines. Starscream wont be able to help himself from trying to " show off" to Megatron. And since these locations are so far apart, by the time we're done it'll be too late. Said Jack.

Good Starscream said with a laugh, "Looks like my reincarnation's ego is about to be Megatron's downfall!"

Yes and before we actually put the hurt on the cons we have to disable the fusion cannons before we make any moves. Because if any con is able to get a lock and fire that thing we'll be looking at a lot of human deaths on our hands. So, Arcee Blackarachnia, waspinator, Bumblebee, Wasp, and Tidal Wave. You'll be handling the ground troops. All aerial bots and cons will go after the fliers. Ultra Magnus you'll be with me to disable the fusion cannons. Everyone else have fun but don't die. Ratchet you'll stay here and operate the groundbridge. If we have to face the predacon I'll give the signal and you'll bridge it to the artic base we're it will join. Shockwave has already tamed it and informed it, assuming it can actually play along. Any questions? Said Jack, as he said the plan Ultra Magnus actually looked impressed but didn't say anything

And Starscream? Said Jack.

Good Starscream asked, "Yes, Jack?"

From now on I'll call you Hellscream, that way I can get rid of this difference issue. Said Jack.

So now any questions? Said Jack turning to the others.

Onslaught asked, "Should any of us use Combiner Forms if it comes down to it?"

Yes, because today we make our stand. Well show Megatron why he should never underestimate us. I won't lie to you it will be hairy and some of you may not come back, so if you think you're not up for this, there's the door. Said Jack pointing to the way out.

Scrapper said, "Jack, we don't care if it's dangerous. We're with you all the way!"

The others nod.

Then lets get this party started. Said Jack.

As everyone gets ready the others look at the knights and Dinobots.

They're very mean looking. Said Drift.

Grimlock said with a grin, "Well, I think they're badass!"

Naw they're bunch of wusses. Said Hound.

No they all messed up. Said Hot Rod.

Swoop said, "Say what you want about them. But to me, they're very powerful!"

Meanwhile Jack stands with Raf Miko and his mom.

Okay so while I also have my dragon form, now that has upgrades, and Raf has his Quetzalcoatl form. Have you guys got your beast modes yet? He asked.

Miko said, "Not yet."

Well maybe it's time you did. Said Jack as he holds two golden orbs and inserts them into Miko and June.

June said, "I wonder what Beast Mode I'll get."

Transform and see. Said Jack.

June and Miko change and it surprises everyone.

In Junes places stood a mechanical Phoenix ( she looks like rider Orin's Phoenix mirror monster, but replace the gold with red and white).

In Mikos place stood a mechanical two tailed tiger with pink highlights around its head.

A Phoenix and a two tailed cat. I guess we all got creatures relating to our culture. Said Jack.

Miko said excited, "THIS. IS. AWESOME!"

And I think you made a certain boyfriend of yours speechless. Said Wheeljack as he brought Bulkhead back to earth when he nudged him.

Bulkhead could only say, "Whoa."

Okay Knights unite. Said Jack.

The guardian knights race outside and they fuse into the massive 3 headed dragon Dragonstorm.

Everyone but Jack was speechless. Then the Ancient dinobots changed. Tyrannus became a T. rex, Stab - triceratops, Strafe - two headed pterodactyl, Scorn became a Spinosaurus, Slash became a velociraptor Snog a apatosaurus.

Mirage asked in shock, "They combined into a Cybertronian Dragon?!"

Yes now Soundwave and Echo engage operation prank call. Said Jack.

Soundwave said with a smirk, "With pleasure!"

Soundwave and Echo used the communications and watched as decepticon forces scattered to the locations.

Meanwhile on the Nemesis.

Starscream! Explain to me why my forces are scattered across this globe! Said Megatron as he stood beside Vibe.

Starscream said, "All I know is that we've been getting some calls around the world!"

Vibe beeps and shows a picture of the Harbinger on his screen.

The Harbinger! Said Starscream.

You left fully function decepticon technology unprotected and unsecured?! Said Megatron.

Starscream said, "I don't understand. We didn't detect the Harbringer until now!"

Vibe shakes his head and shows a video of Starscream using the Harbinger during Megatrons' time inside Starscreams head.

Megatron said angrily, "STARSCREAM!"

Allow me, Megatron I have already readied the seeker armada. Said Shockwave.

Megatron said, "Excellent work, Shockwave. Unlike some of my warriors, you never disappoint me!"

Megatron glared at Starscream while saying that last part.

Starscream growls in anger at Shockwave.

Then an explosion is heard as Vibe shows the source being on the ground.

Before Starscream can say anything, Shockwave beats him to it.

Seekers, new target fire on the autobots! Said Shockwave

On the ground

Mirage said while firing his gun, "Time to bring some hell!"

Remember Stealth team, put up a good fight but keep em coming at you. If all goes occurring to plan not only will the tower fall but I hope and pray optimus shows because without him I don't know how we'll get through this. Said Jack.

Jazz said while fighting a Vehicon, "No need to tell us twice!"

Meanwhile on the Nemesis.

Lord Megatron, while I know I am in charge of scientific research, but perhaps it's time to release the predacon. Said Shockwave

Megatron said evilly, "I was waiting for you to say that!"

The seekers stop there attack and fly up.

On the Nemesis the predacon roars as it looks down to the group below.

Vortex said, "Onslaught, now would be a good time for Bruticus!"

The combaticons nod.

As the predacon dives down its shot by Ultra Magnus' ship and then it gives chase.

Onslaught said, "Combaticons, merge into Bruticus!"

Scrapper said, "Constructicons, time to bring out Devestator!"

Jetstorm said, "Brother, it's time to form Safeguard!"

It's time to form Naturetron! Said Elementor.

Blaze said, "You got it!"

The elemental minicons rise up.

Blaze and Cryo form arms that look like they belong on Belial.

Terra and Hydro form legs that look like Tyrannus'.

Hurricane forms the chest and it looks like Megatrons.

Elementor forms a head. Looks like animated Grimlocks head.

Electro and Thunder become a staff and a hammer. While Gravattack forms a disk that attaches to the chest of the combiner.

Elementor said, "Time to take down a Predacon!"

Naturetron reals back the hammer and swings it and blasts the Predacon with a sonic attack.

The Predacon landed towards Metroplex, who grabbed it.

Bruticus, Devestator, and Safeguard then began to punch the Predacon.

Then Metroplex throws it in the air as it goes through a groundbridge.

In the arctic.

The predacon lands on its feet as it looks around and sees Hot Shot and insecticons as it leans its head down and Hot Shot pets it.

Phase 1 done sir. Said Hot Shot.

Bombshock said to the Predacon, "It's alright. We won't hurt you."

They lead it to an ice berg that opens and shows it's a hanger bay.

Back at the Nemesis.

Oh well so sad. Said Starscream as he saw the predacon go through.

Starscream you can mock all you want but I'm going out and confronting the enemy. Something you're too afraid to do. Said Shockwave.

Soundwave is Knockout and Breakdown combat worthy yet? Asked Megatron.

Vibe shakes his head and shows a video of Knockout still working on Breakdown to safely attach his Optic.

Megatron sighed in frustration and said, "Starscream, if you don't help Shockwave with those Autobots, I'm going to feed you your own T Cog!"

No need, my lord. I can handle them without this female lookalike. Said Shockwave.

Megatron said, "See that you do! I want Ultimus Prime's head on my wall!"

Argh! I am not a femmebot you one eyed -! Was all Starscream got before Shockwave blasted him with his cannon arm without turning around as the door closed behind him.

Shockwave said to himself, "Good thing Megatron doesn't suspect a thing."

Shockwave to ground forces, I'm coming out prepare to take a dive. He whispered as he walked the halls.

Swindle said, "Gotcha, Shockwave! Sorry we had to rough up your Predacon."

No need. The predacon can take a hit. Said Shockwave.

Then he finds himself outside as he begins to leap from platform to platform as he goes down.

Blitzwing in his crazy face contacted Smokescreen and said, "Hey, Smokescreen! You better get to our position! You're missing out on all the fun!"

I'm coming as fast as I can, so is Optimus with a new look. Said Smokescreen.

Jack hearing this but not turning it Ultra Magnus.

Sir, it's our turn, park the ship and we'll take the cannons by disabling the power core. Said Jack.

Ultra Magnus asked, "Are you sure this is going to work?"

Just get ready. Said Jack as he goes into supermode

Ultra Magnus said, "Right!"

And so Jack and him flew into the control tower. Just as they were getting ready to blast it Megatron show.

Megatron said with an evil smirk, "Just so we're clear, after I kill you, I'm going to kill your girlfriends Arcee and Blackarachnia! Then I'm going to kill the rest of your friends! I always win, Ultimus Prime!"

Oh really. Megatron you are a bigger fool than I thought. Said Jack.

Megatron growls and charges but sees that he goes through them.

He notices them going in and out of sight

A hologram?! I fell for the oldest trick in the book!? Said Megatron.

Meanwhile the real Ultra Magnus falls from the ceiling and kicks Megatron.

Meanwhile on the Nemesis.

Thanks vibe for the nice and quiet entrance. He whispered as he goes in to retrieve the relics.

Jack said, "Just need to make sure no one sees me."

Jack turns and sees his minicons lined up.

Okay Guys prepare to teleport to the fight. Said Jack.

They nod as they become weapons.

With Knock Out and Breakdown

Knock Out said, "It's a good thing Dreadwing got out of there before Megatron was able to kill him."

Yes indeed. Said Breakdown. Just as they turn the corner they see Jack. Just as he teleported Chomper.

Down below.

Spin became a hammer and roller became a mace. They fall into Ironhides hands.

Roller attaches to Spin like how the ram hammer and turtle mace do on ninja storm.

Hot Rod got Slither.

Miko got Reverb.

Raf got hacker.

Bee got stinger.

SwiftStrike turns into a chest attachment and attaches to Grimlock who grows and gets nastier. His arms grow, his teeth get bigger and his feet have bigger claws.

Aero attaches himself onto Safeguard who now has new armor.

Nurse in her shield form attaches to June.

Back on the Nemesis.

Teleportation complete. Said Jack

He turns and sees Knockout and Breakdown, who has his optic put back in.

Jack asked, "Did you two think about my offer?"

Breakdown said, "Of course we did. Screw Megatron! First chance we get, we're joining you and your group!"

Good to see some cons have brains, now where's the relic room? Said Jack.

Knock Out said, "I'll show you where it is. But we can't be seen by any of the Vehicons!"

Jack nods.

Knock Out and Jack walk out into the hallway to find the relic room.

Eventually they come to the room.

Jack loads the apex armor, and the other relics together as he then teleports them back to base.

Then as they turn around they see Starscream

Starscream said with a smirk, "Wel, well, well. Looks like we have another traitor in our midst!"

Starscream oh thank Primus you have come to help us. I just got finished attaching Breakdowns optic when this brute captured us and forced us to show him the relics! Said Knockout.

Starscream said, "Good. For a minute, I thought you two were going traitor!"

"Never." Said Breakdown.

Jack knocks the two out and holds Starscream by the throat.

Jack said, "I could kill you right now and avenge Cliffjumper!"

Starscream whimpers

But I have a better thing to do to you. Said Jack.

Before Starscream knew what hit him he was knocked out as well.

He came to and saw Knockout and Breakdown beside him.

Are you okay? Knockout asked while on the inside he didn't care,

Starscreams mouth moved but no words came out.

Breakdown said, "The kid must've ripped out your vocals."

No, he tore out his voice box. Said Knockout as he scanned and saw Starscreams Voice box was missing.

Breakdown said, "Good! Now we don't have to hear him whining all the time!"

Starscream makes silent tears.

Meanwhile outside Jack races outside and sees Megatron about to scrap Magnus and sees everyone huddled together and taken prisoner.

Just according to plan" he thought.

He looks at his arm showing a clock

3,2,1 and now. Said Jack.

Then Megatron stops as a newly upgraded Optimus flew in and saved him.

Megatron said in shock, "OPTIMUS?! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! I DESTROYED YOU!"

You thought. Said Optimus.

Jack seeing his chance blasted Megatron right through his throne. He leaps and lands beside them.

Sir you're looking, robust. It's paramount we disable the fusion cannons below. Said Ultra Magnus.

Understood. Said Optimus as he flies.

Attention everyone Optimus is back and well. Said Jack.

Back at a military base

Fowler hears it in his jet as he's a member of the strike team to take down the tower.

Yes! He said.

Rodimus smiled and said, "I knew Optimus would pull through!"

He and Vector Prime look around and look at Shockwave who nods to him and the others.

Wheeljack reaches for his swords and yells as he strikes at the guards and he and Bulkhead charge at Shockwave

Bulkhead said, "Sorry we have to beat you up, Shockwave."

It's only logical to do this but make it look good. Said Shockwave.

As he knocks them both back and begins leaping back up top.

Meanwhile up top, Optimus just through Megatron into the power core of the cannons disabling them.

Okay guys clear out, Fowlers bringing the rain. Said Jack as he spotted this jets coming in.

Inside the citadel.

Shockwave races in.

Retrieve our master the battle is lost. He said to the vehicons.

What what're you doing?! We will not retreat! Said Megatron.

I'm sorry my liege but we have lost the battle we must retreat if we have any hope to win the war. Said Shockwave.

Megatron said, "Very well! Decepticons, fall back!"

They all back to the Nemesis as it leaves the collapsing tower.

Meanwhile down below Smokescreen races up on the highway and transforms seeing Darkmount collapse.

Oh man I missed it. He said,

Lugnut contacted Smokescreen and said, "Smokescreen, meet us at our location. The battle is won!"

Alrighty. Said Smokescreen as he transforms and goes back the way he came.

Meanwhile on the Nemesis.

Shockwave said, "Let me get this straight. Ultimus grabbed Starscream and ripped his voice box out?"

Remember he does have that built in phase Shifter. Said Knockout as the two walk through the Nemesis and onto the bridge where they see Megatron, Breakdown and Vibe. Starscream is sitting on the side still angry that he can't speak.

Megatron said to Starscream, "Maybe if you had been more competent, you would still have your voice box."

Um Lord Megatron, there's voice boxes down in storage, you know? Said Breakdown

Megatron asked, "Why would we want to restore Starscream's voice box? Now we won't have to listen to his groveling anymore."

Knock Out said, "Lord Megatron has a point."

But for Starscream to perform greatly, my liege, he must be capable of speech. It's only logical. Said Shockwave

Knock Out asked with a raised eyebrow, "You really want Starscream to have his voice box after he insulted you and your Predacon? Besides, Soundwave doesn't talk and he still performs perfectly in the field. And let's not forget Bumblebee. He was a great fighter even without his voice box."

I know, but perhaps this can Be a valuable lesson to him and this could make him strive to do better. Lord Megatron, if he can easily be taken down and crippled like this with ease, I say he's no longer suited to be your second in command. Said Shockwave.

Megatron said, "Indeed. Are you saying that you would like to be second in command now?"

Indeed, the time on Cybertron gave me a better perspective of how to do things, like how I called on the seekers to attack and on the predacon, though now it lies in enemy hands. But he will be but the first of many I assure you. And perhaps it's time Starscream become suited to his new roll as third in command? Said Shockwave.

' This way Vibe will inform me of everything Megatron does and I can report it back to Ultimus' he thought in his head.

Megatron said, "Very well, From now on, you will be my new second in command."

Starscream tried to speak out words but it was no use.

Knock Out asked mockingly, "What's that, Starscream? You're okay with your new Third In Command position? Good to know!"

Ahh at least this day brought some joy. Said Megatron enjoying the silence.

Back at base.

I know that I can't ever express my feelings of how you stepped up to help us, and I am sorry that the world can never know of your actions today, but I am proud to thank you for protecting my life, my liberty and my home. Said Agent fowler as he then solutes the autobots and decepticons.

Onslaught said with a smile, "We're just happy that everything's fine now."

Optimus said to Ultra Magnus, "It's good to see you, Ultra Magnus. Though Galvatron and Hellscream informed me that you questioned Jack's status as a Prime. Is that true?"

Ultra Magnus' eyes widened before he glared at Galvatron and Hellscream. Galvatron was smirking at Magnus with his arms crossed while Hellscream was whistling innocently.

Indeed sir, but I've managed to get some more knowledge of him. He expertly let Megatron believe that it was only me attacking while he snuck in and stole all the relics along with doing the one thing everyone has wanted to do to Starscream. Said Ultra Magnus.

Optimus asked, "And that would be?"

I ripped out Starscreams voice box. Said Jack as he holds said biomechanism

Nitro Zeus cheered, "WOOHOO! Starscream can't talk anymore!"

Arcee said while smirking, "Good! It's what he gets for killing Cliffjumper. Now he'll know how Bumblebee felt when he couldn't talk."

Yeah and I think I'm going to do something more. Said Jack as he smirks and crushes it.

That was for Cliff, glitch head. He said.

Fowler said, "Looks like Starscream got what he deserved! Serves him right for torturing me when I first met him."

Dad it's good to have you back. Said Jack walking up to the new Optimus.

And it's good to be back, son. Said Optimus as June holds his hand.

Swindle said realizing something, "Aw, man! In everything that happened, me and the others forget about the surprise we were working on!"

Everyone looks confused.

Well show us. Said Jack.

Onslaught asked as Vortex and Blast Off wheel in somethign covered in tarp, "Remember the Nemesis Prime robot?"

Everyone nods

Vortex and Blast Off removed the tarp to reveal Nemesis Prime. It looked like it didn't even have a scratch on it.

Blast Off asked, "What do you guys think?"

Is it sentient? Said Ratchet

With that, Nemesis began to walk by itself.

Then it kneels in front of Jack.

I serve you my master. It said.

Brawl said, "Think of it as a welcome home present!"

Jack grins at this.

Is it true, Smokescreen? The forge has been drained of its power? Ratchet asked

Smokescreen said, "Afraid so."

Then all hopes of rebuilding the Omega Lock has truly been lost. Said Ratchet

Bumblebee smiled and said, "That's alright. We've got our new home on Earth."

Hmm, if my new abilities can bring out mom and Miko's beast modes. Maybe I can. Said Jack as he holds the powerless Forge and begins to concentrate

Ratchet said, "Maybe I spoke too soon."

Jack begins to glow gold as his power flows into the hammer.

Bumblebee said to Skyquake, "I hope there aren't any hard feelings between us, Skyquake."

None, you were doing what you were meant to as a soldier. Now if you don't mind me and my brother have lots to catch up on. He said as he turns to Dreadwing and the two walk away.

Bumblebee smiled and then looked back to what Jack was doing.

Just as Jack covered the hammer with his golden energy the hammers gears began to spin.

Ladies and Gentlebots, a fully charged forge. Said Jack.

Perceptor said in awe, "Magnificent!"

Jack puts down the hammer.

Then he groans as he gets shaky and falls to his knees

Blackarachnia asked in concern, "Oh my God! Jack, are you okay?!"

Took more out of me than I thought. Said Jack.

Perceptor and Ratchet help him up and lay him down on a medical berth.

Hmm, intense energy loss. Said Red Alert as he ran a scan on him.

Ratchet said, "You'll need to take some rest for a few days, Jack. You've earned it."

Don't have to tell me twice. Said Jack as he closes his eyes and goes to sleep.

The kid fought like a Wrecker. Said Wheeljack.

Ultra Magnus said, "I guess I was wrong about him after all."

Ironhide said, "Trust me when I say this. Jack has helped us accomplish a lot against Megatron's forces."

Hmm said Ultra Magnus as he looks to the sleeping prime.

Will the commander accept Jack as his commanding officer, will Jack regain his energy in time for the next battle? What will lie in store for the new upgraded Optimus Prime? Tune in next time on Rise of Ultimus prime to find out!
