S1 Episode 17: Megatron Rising (Part 2)

"SERENITY!! You'll pay for that Megatron!", Optimus exclaimed. He then started to charge at him.

But, Megatron hits Optimus in the face with the key, sending him next to Serenity. Megatron grinned, happy to be back in action.

He then turn towards Lugnut and Blitzing, who had finally gotten out of the debris. "To me, my loyal Decepticons!", Megatron commanded.

Lugnut and Blitzwing flew down, as Starscream threw Bumblebee into the tower. "Ah, it looks like my decision has been made.", Starscream said.

"Oh, great and glorious Megatron! We are ready to serve you-", Lugnut praised. However, his regular praise was cut short, as Starscream landed on top of his head.

"I'm ready to serve as your ever faithful second in command.", Starscream said, as he went and stood next to Megatron. "Ah, Starscream. How fitting to have you by my side as I finally take my revenge on the one responsible for my 50 stellar cycles of helplessness and humiliation!", Megatron said.

He then brought up his canyon and it looked like he was preparing to destroy Optimus. But, he instead brought his fist with the key on it into Starscream's chest, making him cry out in pain, as he went offline.

"Does anyone else have a problem with my leadership?", Megatron asked. Blitzwing and Lugnut quickly shook their heads no. 

"We're good.", Blitzwing replied. "NEVER!", Lugnut added.

"Where was I?", Megatron asked, turning to the Autobots, only to see them and the princess gone. "After them!", Hothead shouted out. 

"Leave them, Blitzwing. The Allspark takes prescience over a few insignificant Autobots. And once I have the Allspark, the princess will not be able to hide from me any longer. Besides, they're not gone from this world.", Megatron said, as he used the key to track the Allspark. "Decepticons, transform and rise up!", Megatron ordered. 

With that said, Blitzwing and Lugnut transformed, while Megatron did his first transformation since being back, into a helicopter. At the Sumdac Tower, Prowl, Bulkhead, Optimus, and Serenity all hid. 

Optimus sets Serenity down gently by the tree and then had a rest himself. The professor then came down and saw the state they were in. 

"Oh dear, this is all my fault.", Sumdac said. "You had nothing to do with this, Professor.", Optimus tried to defend. 

"But, I did! I rebuilt Megatron. 50 years ago, I found his head crashed in a field. I reverse engineered his robotic technology to create my own automatons.", Sumdac explained. "Are you saying...", Optimus trailed off. 

"My entire robotic empire is based on your worse enemy.", Sumdac confirmed. "You had Megatron all this time and you never told us?", Bulkhead asked, a little bit of anger creeping into his voice. 

"He tricked me! He told me that he was your friend and that he couldn't face you in his damaged state! That I should keep his existence a secret!", Sumdac answered. "And you trusted him?", Prowl asked, now angry. 

"Give him a break!", Serenity defended, trying to stand up. "They aren't called Decepticons for nothing.", Serenity, wincing in pain. 

Optimus then rushed over to her side, supporting her. "None of that matters now. We need to keep Megatron from getting his hands on the Allspark.", Optimus said. 

"How? I'm so banged up I couldn't even transform into a trash heap.", Bulkhead stated. "And without Sari's... Ah... Key to repair us... Ah... We don't even stand a chance against one Decepticon. Let alone three.", Prowl stated.
