Dinobot’s Heroic Sacrifice

"NRruagh…Urgh-RRrouaghh!?" Dinobot slowly was standing up after having taken care of Tarantulas, but his body seem very damaged of burn scorch marks.
"Dinobot, maybe you shouldn't move?" Jeremie approach to offer a hand.
"I'm….alright. I still function." Dinobot pushed the hand away, stating his tough guy act.
"Well, if he's still got that stubbornness, he's gotta be okay." William replied off in seeing Dinobot still keeping a tough guy routine going.
"Ditto on that." Ulrich nods his head to agree on that subject.
"Beep!" Then a beep noise was heard during the moment. "Optimus here! What is it Dinobot?" Optimus' voice was heard on the com-link while asking what was the situation.
"Hmmm?" Weaken by injury, Dinobot ignore it to give out a report. "Code Red! Situation – EXTREME!" Dinobot gave the secret code phrase on how the situation was looking.
Then all eyes were on Megatron & the assembled large number of Predacons. They were all in Robot Mode, armed & ready to engage.
"DESTROY THIS VALLEY!" Megatron shouted in aiming down below to order the valley be destroyed here. "AND EVERYTHING IN IT!" He gave word for all things to be wiped out. "THE NEXT HUMAN RACE…WILL NEVER…HAVE EXISTED!" He held his tail grappler as it was charging with energy.
"THopvhmm…" Then Megatron soon opened fire down below.
"BOOM!/GRYUAaugh!?" One of the primates yelped as it fled from the shocking explosive action that happened before it's eyes.
Then some of the Predacons above began to leap off to stomp their feet onto the ground within the valley.
"POW-POW, POW…" Then Rampage began to open fire with his triple launcher. "BAM, BAM, BAM…" Energy shots fired exploded on contact causing a fire. The primates began to flee in terror from what was happening.
"BangBangBangBangBangBang…/POWFruvhmmm…" Blackarachnia was using her machine gun legs while Inferno used his Missile Launcher to release a flamethrower function all around.
Back at the Maximal Base, Optimus & those within the Command Center were given the full report.
"We'll be there as soon as we can." Optimus assured Dinobot that they will come join the battle once they arrive. "In the meantime, FALLBACK with Jeremie and the others and Wait for US!" Optimus gave a firm order for Dinobot to not engage an enemy attack of this size all by one's lonesome.
"Trisvhm…/NEGATIVE!" Then on the com-link, Dinobot's voice was yelling to protest against Optimus' orders before anyone could leave.
The scene changes to show Dinobot and the others watching the events unfold below. Within the valley, fire was spreading all around the trees, mini explosions, and the sounds of gun and missile shots being fired. It was like a warzone, or more precisely, it was like a massacre slaughter event against those that have no way to fight back.
"It's here. The question that once haunted my being has been answered. The future is not fixed, and my choices are my own." Dinobot explained this as if self reflecting on having discovered a solution that has left him lost this whole time of his faith. "And yet, how ironic..." As Dinobot spoke, a primate was helping an injured primate to get away by dragging him across. "For I now find…that I have no choice at all!" He shook his head in finally realizing, what choice is left for him to choose. "Huuuugh…" Dinobot exhales to take a moment to breath. "I am a warrior..." As Dinobot said this, he reach behind his back to pull forth his Rotating Tail Sword. "Let the battle be joined." Dinobot proclaimed in announcing he shall take and engage in a hopeless battle without fear or worry…
"Dinobot, you're not SERIOUSLY thinking of facing that many enemies by yourself? That's too insane even for you?" Tytree protest in thinking this was going too far, it's like a one man facing an army of 50 soldiers.
"Well if he's willing to fight, so am I!" Jin smiles from feeling the urge to go out and fight.
"OY! We fought against such enemies, but never THIS Large!?" Tytree screamed in thinking that they never faced a battle like this until now.
"All the more reason, since Dinobot is short handed." Ulrich pointed out in feeling they can't ignore this.
"Right, lets all partake, we can thin the numbers and slow their attempt to wipe out the Protohumans!" William nods in thinking they can do that much.
"Hmmm?" Dinobot hums to himself, finding it difficult to turn down help even if it's from the young and foolish.
"Dinobot, please…even YOU can't face that many!?" Jeremie asked that they join in to help however they can.
"I'm not sure your ready for a battle this large?" Dinobot shook his head in thinking, this battle might be too much for the children without other Maximals to help out in a tight pinch.
"Hey, we're not just easy pushovers. We got talent and then some." Odd smiles to proudly proclaim that they got skills.
"Talent alone won't save you without staying ahead of your enemy." Dinobot remarks in knowing even the skill quality may not beat the quantity of the enemy.
"Then we'll just have to do what we can!" Yumi issued to firmly state what they must do.
"Please Dinobot, let us fight to keep our own destiny from being changed by no one but ourselves." Aelita asked the bot to give them a chance, they must choose their own path.
"Hmmm…in one judgement, I would not advice letting young warriors to an early grave. But…" Dinobot had a moment of time to think things through of logic and reason before coming to terms. "You wish to fight for the same sake as me, and perhaps it's better you join me….to save a future worth saving." He announced his decision to be made here.
"We're with you till the end." Artemis nods to confirm the settlement.
"Alright, lets show these guys how we roll!" Axel smiles to spin his chakrams in wanting some action.
The scene fads out from the only force left to stop Megatron's plan to alter the future, is now in the hands of those that must first go against the impossible odds. Fight a battle of overwhelming odds against them, this may change history's course for what the future may lead towards a tomorrow…
ELSEWHERE
THE MAXIMALS PASTE
The scene opens that it was around nighttime, & many Maximals were seen gathered together to be in Beast Mode or Flight Mode. The members assembled were Optimus, Silverbolt, Cheetor, Rattrap, & Rhinox. They were in a hurry to reach Sector Tengu to add those already there about to embark on a crazy battle that goes against all odds…
"Oh Man!?" Rattrap was heard moaning and groaning. "No matter HOW Soon we get there, it'll be WAY too late?" He issued in feeling like this was a race they may not make it in time.
"Pant-pant…Do you always have to see the bright side?" Rhinox was exhaling while rhetorically mentioning how Rattrap was viewing things.
"In my opinion it's not good no matter the odds. I can imagine it. Dinobot against 6 Preds out of nearly 50 of them." Rattrap exclaimed in mentioning Dinobot facing the vast numbers. "There won't be enough left of him to make a TOASTER!?" Rattrap exclaimed that against such odds, Dinobot might be blasted into tiny part pieces all over the battlefield.
"Can't you think up of anything besides that Cheese-Breath?!" Jackrabbit protest in hearing the rodent say such things about Dinobot even now.
"The truth hurts Floppy-Ears, and it ain't a pretty picture." Rattrap remarked with hurtful words that speak true.
"It's not just Dinobot we need to worry, Jeremie's group are there along with Aelita." Volpex issued the real problem they have to worry about those partaking in a major battle.
"Those kids maybe tougher being Meta-Humans, but against the numbers is just plain foolishness!" Dive-Bomb exclaimed in seeing this whole action just screams how foolish one is to go against such odds.
"We would have gotten there sooner, but the Jamming Stations the Predacons setup interrupt the Warp Gates. We have to run or fly the rest of the way." Longrack shook his head to regret that they can't arrive sooner thanks to the Predacons jamming stations.
"Optimus, how much damage do you think we can save including the lifeforms in the area?" Shellter asked in wanting to help save as many lives endanger.
"I'm not sure, for now…" Optimus shook his head from not knowing the answer, however… "Dinobot and the others have to save as many as possible, or the future...maybe a bleak one." He issued that they have to leave everything to those on the frontlines.
The Maximals had to continue to push themselves to race for the valley. If not, the situation may indeed bring dire events to come…
BACK IN SECTOR TENGU
The scene reopens to show the valley was still under heavy siege of fires spreading and more explosions happening all around. Many f the primates were running & yelping to escape the dangers happening.
"Bangbangbangbangbang…." Blackarachnia continued unleashing a rapid machine gun section.
"POW….POW-POW, POWFruvhmmm…" Inferno continued firing missile rounds without batting an eye.
"GRUUARRughh!?" Then Inferno turns to yelp too late, as Dinobot was seen wielding his sword above before thrusting downwards…
"DRRiizzzzvh…../GRUAAaaaaaahhh-AAAAaaahhhhh!?" Inferno lets off a crazy scream as he felt the rotating sword slice down from his shoulder down to his stomach region. "PUNCH!" Then Dinobot delivered a left hook punch across the enemy's face.
"Bangbangbangbangbang…." That's when Blackarachnia noticed who was attacking and fired her machine gun rounds off.
"Thou-Thou-Thou-Thou…./GYaaaahh…" Dinobot yelps from feeling the sting of the attacks puncture his body.
"GYAh-Hahahahahh…." Then Dinobot pulled Inferno in front of him to act like a shield to take the shots for him while launghing manically. "POWfruvhm…" Then Dinobot force Inferno to fire a missile directly at their attacker…
"BAM!/GUAAAAugh!?" Then Blackarachnia got hit hard by the missile explosion to the gut that knock her back and out of action.
"GRUUOOArugh!?" Dinobot lifts Inferno up to aim his weapon underneath his head…
"BAM!/GRUUAAAARRRrrhhhh!?" Then in a big boom flash in the valley, we see Inferno screaming his head off; literally his head was shot flying upwards and out of sight.
But those still above having observe how things were playing out, took notice of the unforeseen event. Megatron narrow his eyes from where Inferno went soaring to seem displease that something was interfering with his grand master plan.
"Lord Megatron, it seems there's unexpected trouble? Should we…" Shadow Panther firmly was thinking of a means to deal with this when…
"No…let us watch and see how this plays out." Megatron held a hand, ordering they watch to see what happens.
We soon see that the others handling different areas to face the Predacons. We first spot Aelita, Odd, and Jin soaring in the air. They were being pursued by the Predacons that could fly: Lazorbeak, Manterror, Buzz Saw, Jetstorm, Fractyl, Archadis, and Raid Jango.
"Ha-Ha-Ha! Is that the best you got!? I'm all Whoopsy-Daisy and can do this till it rains?" Jin laughs off in the face of danger as he was using the wind to fly around and evade any shots fired while repelling them away.
"NRUUArrrugh, you are so annoying, we're gonna take pleasure in ripping that smile off you! And your little band!" Raid Jango snarls in fury that Jin's attitude is getting on one's nerves.
"Remember, the Key must not be harm. Or Megatron may destroy us." Fractyl warns those to not do anything to Aelita, Megatron needs her.
"Just give me a second and I can slice their wings clean off!" Manterror issued to throw more buzz saw blades to knock Odd off his OverBoard or cut off Aelita's Angel Wings.
"Hey Aelita, remember that trick we did together by the Axelon?" Odd asked in smiling to come up with a plan to use from way back when…
"Oh I remember, and I like it. Let's do it!" Aelita smiles in thinking that idea brought back some good results.
"Hugh!? They split up!?" Lazorbeak raised an eyebrow in seeing the three Meta-Humans split.
"Which should we go after?" Buzz Saw asked in seeing it's three different directions.
"Heh, there's seven of us and only three of them. Lets split between two and leave three for the other." Jetstorm smirks in stating what they should focus on, cutting them off.
"Then lets hurry along, my beauty does not have all day!" Archadis proclaimed in having better things to do, namely things of his own concerns.
Now the Predacons split as they tried to attack with range weapons of those that had no wind protection as Jin provided for them.
"Steady…ugh!?" Odd yelps as he felt an impact scorched his left leg.
"Odd!?" Aelita called out in seeing her cousin hurt.
"I'm good…just keep going…" Odd strains to keep himself from falling off his board.
"Alright…." Aelita replied in trying to stay focus.
"Hey fellas, ever seen what it's like inside the eye of the tornado? Well, get ready for it…" Jin smiles in stating something to those following him without giving away too much.
That's when Jin flew upwards which made the trio Preds notice Odd and Aelita come at them before flying downwards.
"NRAaugh! WAIT! It's A TRAP!?" Raid Jango snarls to yelp as he alerts those heading for them.
"TORNADO FIST WAVE!" Jin yells as he clutch his fist, form a tornado of blue energy swirling before…
"POWFruvhmmmm…/GRAAARRruaghhhh!?" Jin unleashed a strong tornado which hit the Predacon fliers that shot them downwards. "CRASHfruvhmm…" They impacted the valley as they were knocked out of it.
"Hahahah, and they be gone with the wind!" Jin smiles to praise the work as Od and Aelita join up with him. "Nice job boys and girls! Now lets go down to help anyone else!?" He proclaimed in seeing it's time they move to their next opponents.
Jin flew ahead with Aelita following, Odd grits his teeth to ignore the pain in his leg to follow along. In another area, we spot Ulrich, William, Yumi and Sissi near some river location in the valley. They had to be watchful of the Predacons that could perform in water: Razorclaw, Spittor, Snapper, Manta Ray, Scylla, Leatherhide, and Rime Walrus.
"Here little kiddies!?" Razorclaw called out to say while wanting to grip one of them in his claws.
"Hold still so we can blast you already!" Spittor snapped in wanting to hit one of the speedy targets zipping along with zig-zagging stunts.
"Like anyone is stupid enough to do that!" Sissi remarked that they are not dumb to do any of that.
"Except maybe for those guys!" William pointed off in knowing the enemy be that stupid.
"Oh, funny guys hugh? Well lets see how much you laugh after this?" Snapper remarked in feeling like the last one to laugh will win.
"Wow, someone sure is crabby for a turtle?" Yumi raised an eyebrow in seeing that one has an attitude.
"Best leave the bad joke puns to Odd, he feel missed out at this case." Ulrich stated in knowing they should leave such bad jokes to their odd friend.
Then without warning, Ulrich and William perform their Triplicate and Shadow Double moves
"Which way do we go?" Manta Ray asked in not knowing where the targets went.
"I don't know? Eh, try this way!" Scylla looked around in trying to determine where Ulrich and William went.
"Then lets GO!" Rime Walrus shouts in wanting to hurry after them humans.
The Aqua Preds continued to follow after the children until they reach out of the river closer to the flames.
"Wait, something seems wrong here?" Leatherhide issued in thinking something was up with this. "It's an AMBUSH!" He warns the Preds in seeing that this was a setup.
Then from the cover of flames, different attacks were fired that hit the enemy. But that only pushed them together before something was levitated above: a large boulder.
"TRUsvhmmm…/KABLAM!/ARRAaaugh!?" The Preds screamed when something drop down to crush the bots underneath.
"Few…glad…pant…it worked out?" Yumi panted a bit from feeling exhausted from using telekinesis on such a huge object.
"Yumi, you okay? Maybe that one was a bit too stressful?" Ulrich asked in thinking that was maybe too much.
"Hey, had to drop the biggest rock when they gather, right?" Yumi exclaimed in knowing they had to plan this move.
"Watch out!" Sissi alerted the group on what she saw.
Then an attack came from out of nowhere to explode the ground, splitting the girls and boys apart before seeing who the culprit was.
"You miserable…I'm gonna…" Rime Walrus managed to squeeze himself free from the boulder and was gonna attack…
The Ulrich's and William clone then wrestle around the heavy bot's limbs to restrain movement, thus giving the guys an opening to land heavy sword blows. But during the same motion, Rime Walrus struck the boys as they all fell onto the ground. As Sissi helped Yumi up, they check Ulrich and William who sustain damaged.
"Urgh! Okay…pant, that was maybe a little unexpected?" William panted from feeling that took a bit of strength out of him.
"Come on, ugh, we gotta join up with the others." Ulrich issued in trying to keep himself standing.
"Lets hope they're doing alright?" Sissi stated in wishing the others are fine.
"Yeah…" Yumi replied as they hurried away from the spot.
Elsewhere, we spot Tytree having a major situation from having his hands full. That's because he was handling many of the Predacons that were ground types: Iguanas, Double Punch, Ripteeth, Sling, Insecticon, Powerpinch, Retrax, Drill Bit, Vice Grip, Venomess, Killer Punch, and Hardhead.
"Sheesh, leave the guy that controls plants to fight more then he can chew in a valley set in fire? This one won't be easy?" Tytree rolled his eyes in seeing that he can't fight so well with so much fire that destroys plant-life.
"Give it up! You're out number!" Iguanas remarked in seeing this guy has no chance against all of them.
"That's right! Your all alone!?" Double Punch issued that no one human being can fight against 12 Preds.
"What are you gonna do, garden us into submission? Ha-Hahaha!" Ripteeth laughs off in finding it a funny tail.
"Actually, I may be able to move plants and use wood base elements, but that might not be my only limits." Tytree issued to say in having something different in mind.
That's when Tytree used his plants ahead that he lead the pursing before they step on vines which snap, dropping a few foes in.
"WAAaaughh!/CRASH!" The chasing Preds screamed before they hit the bottom of a conceal pit-trap.
"GYAAaahhh! Wooden Spikes Trap! This Is Very Sharp!?" Sling screamed from the pit trap of what awaited those that felt hurt.
"Heh-Heh! I set this up ahead before I found you!" Tytree laughed a bit proudly in having caught these guys off guard.
"NUahahah…you may have caught the others?" Insecticon laughed off in finding that though the opponent defeated some…
"But you failed to get all of us in that trap." Powerpinch issued in seeing the guy did not get all of them in the same trap.
"Now's the time to say goodbye!" Retrax proclaimed in what time it was to take on the lonely human.
"Oh yeah! Any final words before the curtain falls." Drill Bit proclaimed while awaiting to hear any last words here.
"How's about a game of Whack-A-Pred!" Tytree exclaimed in having mention if those wanna play a game.
"Hmmm, whack what?" Vice Grip raised an eyebrow in finding the name very strange.
Then Tytree used his plant vines to snatch a bunch of large rocks to create a flinging heavy basher type weapons that struck the other Preds. Many were taken down, but the last few slipped pass to attack the distracted Tytree.
"SLASH!/GAaaahh!?" Tytree screamed from clutching his shoulder from feeling that brutal slash move.
"Enough of these games." Killer Punch snaps in having enough of such childish trickery.
"Sorry honey, but with all these flames, you just couldn't stay cool." Venomess issued that the human could use plants, but many of them are burning too fast by all the fires.
"Heh, maybe I can still use the fire in another helpful way…?"
Before either Pred could respond, Tytree used his plants to grab burning trees before hurrying to pull them down near the targets. They managed to evade, but Tytree used his own long range attacks to take the two out after bravely plowing through the flames while rolling on the ground.
"Hot-cha-cha….Man, I gotta try other means then that? Hugh?" As Tytree was recovering, he saw someone walking towards him well armed: it was Hardhead. "Pant-pant….just you left now, well…?" Tytree pants from feeling himself near exhaustion.
"Hmmm…you fought well, normally I fight an opponent worth fighting." Hardhead proclaimed as he was raring his battle spirit to fight. "But not this way, you're exhausted. It leave a bad taste in my mouth." He shook his head from seeing this one is too tired and fighting an exhausted opponent is no challenge.
"Hugh?" Tytree raised an eyebrow in hearing this right while sounding puzzled.
"I'm gonna be busy picking up these guys, so I won't have time for this." Hardhead replied off to say as he focused his attention on picking up the injured Preds.
Now Hardhead leaves a puzzled Tytree behind with many puzzling questions. But that can wait for later, the guy has to regroup with the others. Elsewhere in the valley, we see Dinobot rushing through the valley while having taken possession of Inferno's weapon. Then as Dinobot was heading for an edge, he pulls out his Rotating Tail Blade to start rotating in a spin action.
"Powk-Powk-Powk!/POW-POW!" Down below we see Waspinator firing his Sting Launcher while Rampage fires his triple launcher to destroy parts of the valley.
"POWfruvhm…Powfruvhm…Powfruvhmmm…" Then Dinobot leaps off the ledge to use his Rotating Tail Blade like a copter function while firing the Missile Launcher downwards.
"Bam-Bam, BOOM!/GRUUARRrugh!?" Rampage yelps from being impacted by the explosive missiles that knock him off balance.
"Powk-Powk!" Then Waspinator began to fire his Sting Launcher at the attacker. "Thop-Thopvhmm…" Waspinator succeeded in knocking both Dinobot's weapons weapon and copter out, but that lead to a problem: the Ex-Pred falling downward and straight towards…Waspinator!
"NOOOOAAaahhhh!?" Waspinator screamed in hating where this may lead. "STOMP!/GRYUUarugh-Uurragh!?" Dinobot stomps Waspinator down with his feet causing the wasp bot to ach from pain.
But Dinobot had no time to waste, as he looked behind him for the other opponent. Rampage had transform into his Vehicle Mode, and turns to aim his triple launcher directly at Dinobot's sight. Shifting the larger blaster, Rampage was about to fire… "JAM!" But Dinobot reacted quicker by grabbing Waspinator and shoving the wasp bot's head directly in the cannon slot before… "BOOMFruvhmm…" A big explosion occurred from Rampage because his missile was jam from firing. "Clunk!" But the powerful shock force did knock Dinobot a few feet away to hit against a tree.
As for the other Preds, Rampage was damaged and out like a light, even his launcher component fell off him. "Trisizzvhmm…/DRuoeeeeh!?" A spark occurred as Waspinator made a mope cry from the after effects: pretty shocking considering he just stop a missile from firing and it blew up inside and he didn't get shot out: what are the odds?
"NRruaagh-Grugrugruaagh…" Dinobot was seen snarling as he struggled to lift his head up after surviving that battle.
"" Dinobot heard a noise before turning his head to see what was the cause. We find Sara, Sora, and Artemis dealing with some harder foes of a stronger Predacon unit. These Predacons were basically Transmetals: Knock Out, Thunderblast, Hyena Quinn, Q-Bee, Bisk and Scowl.
"Oh yeah, this is it! I'm about to unlock the big game changer!" Bisk cheered in about to break a game record here.
"You squishes are gonna be sorry you came to fight with us with no one else." Scowl issued in about to use his brutal weapon to pound them to the dust.
"Who said we're defenseless. Come and get some!" Sara issued as she was getting ready to take this guy on.
Scowl was the first to make a move but Sara summoned a tech mallet out of nowhere, swung it hard to knock the bot into Bisk to send them flying into the other Predacons.
"Whaaa!/CRASHVhmm….Uuuugh!?" Thunderblast yelps as both Scowl and Bisk crash landed onto her. "Get OFF Me! You're Ruining My Makeup!" She protest from being unable to get these heavy bots off her.
"Wowzers!? Putting out a mallet like this, I like your stuff kid?" Hyena Quinn exclaimed to smile from being amazed by that performance. "Now I'm gonna have to bash your head with mine!" She smirks in bringing her own hammer to the playfield.
"Not today!" Sora protest as she summoned her energy blades to start swinging them which released energy blade waves.
"CLASH!/Aahhh!?" Knock Out was impacted by the attack, which left a damage spot on his body. "For such a little girl, she seems to pack a little extra firepower?" He issued in not having expected the smallest to pack some additional power.
"Now Artemis!" Sara announced to her gynoid friend.
"I borrowed these Demolition Charges, hope these work." Artemis responded to pull out some familiar charges.
Then Artemis press the charges before throwing them near the enemy. An explosion knocked them backwards, Knock Out crashed against burn logs and rocks that scratch all over him.
"Urgh…my paint job, it's ruin!?" Knock Out groans from having witness his design work was ruined by such unexpected actions.
"Hmmm…" Q-Bee's focus was turn to notice Waspinator nearby with his head stuck in Rampage's launcher. "Waspinator injured, others injured. We must gather injured and retreat." She issued in having to suggest they gather their forces to regroup.
"What are you NUTS!?" Hyena Quinn protest when the battle was just getting good.
"KABOOM!" Then an explosion was heard nearby before many saw something fell on the ground: Transquito, Volga and Hardshell. The one coming out from having taken down three giant type bots was none other then: Axel!
"Pant-pant….Man, taking out Three Giant Enemies is not as easy as it sounds? Lucky thing I had a ton of gunpowder to spread over them, never saw it coming." Axel was seen having walked on top of the pile of giant enemies. "Well hello ladies, the name's Axel! Got It Memorized?" He made a greeting to those left to be ready…
"Okay, point taken? Adios!" Hyena Quinn sheepishly replied to agree with Q-Bee before deciding to split.
Now Q-Bee helped Waspinator while Hyena Quinn helped Knock Out as they split to gather many other damaged Predacons to vacate from the battle.
"Everyone doing alright?" Axel asked to check how those here are doing.
"What about you?" Artemis asked worried since Axel's opponents were no small feat.
"Ehh, lets just say I've been limiting my Fire Ability to not burn down more then necessary." Axel shrugs off to say that while looking a mess, he managed to handle his own fight. "Hey Dinobot, you doing okay?" He approach in seeing that Dinobot didn't look so good.
"I'm….urrrgh, good…give me a minute?" Dinobot groans within his words as he did not need help getting up or showing weakness. "Hrrrmmmugh-Gruaarrrghh?" Soon Dinobot manages to get on his feet to stand up while maintaining balance.
"The others should be joining us soon." Sora stated in knowing the others will regroup with them.
"Hang tight Dinobot, this'll be over once we join together." Sara tried to encourage the bot fighting his hardest.
"No….it's not over yet…there's still more to come?" Dinobot remotely shook his head in knowing they are hardly finished. "GRoooooooouuhhh…." Dinobot lets off a low growl as he stares up into the sky…
But in truth, where Dinobot was looking was where someone above may have been watching the events. As we see Megatron having observe the whole thing thus far. Along with Megatron were the only Predacon members that have yet to engage. The Fuzors: Quickstrike, Buzzclaw, Sky Shadow, Terragator, Injector, Toxica, Absol, and Sheer Khan. The only other bots around were those of Megatron's trusted commanders: Shadow Panther, Scorponok, Sky-Byte, and Drago Wing.
"One lonely turncoat, battling on against impossible odds." Megatron held a finger in announcing how a single bot, even the traitor Dinobot, fights against the impossible. "Fighting with nothing but their own strength and a band of youths unprepared against war." Megatron proclaimed that seeing Dinobot's team struggle this long was impressive. "I'm almost…touched!" Megatron pretends to wipe off a tear from his left eye area for having seen such sentiment. "...Fortunately, such moments pass quickly." Then Megatron regains his composure to let what was touching pass by without blinking an eye. "Quickstrike, scrap him!" Then Megatron points down his tail grappler in ordering the gold scorpion Fuzor to fight Dinobot.
"YE-HAH!" Quickstrike cheers as he was seen jumping off to partake in the battle as Megatron watch and heard him land in the valley.
"At last, now it's time for US to partake!" Buzzclaw proclaimed loudly in feeling this is their chance to attack.
"Perfect, do we get any of those kids?" Sheer Khan grips his claws in wanting to go warmonger crazy on the battlefield.
"No, I'll need you to gather our forces and get them back to our base!" Megatron held a hand to give a different order that shock some of the others.
"How come? Surely we're not backing down!?" Injector raised an eyebrow in finding this an odd moment.
"At this rate, my plans might be slightly hindered. And very soon, the Maximals will no doubt show up." Megatron firmly stated how things may go if the Maximals arrive, if he loses too many soldiers then their enemy will outnumber them. "I can't have lost so many of my troops before destroying those pesky Maximals. NO GO!" Megatron firmly gave the order even if he had to yell for his point to get across.
"Sheesh, alright already, go down and gather up the others." Terragator held up his hands in feeling like Megatron doesn't have to shout twice.
"Hugh, I suppose not all of us can get out of manual labor…" Toxica signed in feeling like she won't get other males to do the heavy lifting for her due to their numbers being so low.
"Um…I'll do my best…" Absol nervously responded in willing to do her best.
"We shall use the Warp Gate, if anything happens. Well, you'll know how to reach us." Sky Shadow politely responded by a gentleman's tone of manor to give his own consent on the received order.
The Predacon Fuzors nod their heads before leaping down off the ledge in following Quickstrike's motion. They had their own different orders to follow through.
"What about us Lord Megatron?" Sky-Byte asked in awaiting for what orders they maybe given.
"Yes, do let us take part to shift the battle?" Drago Wing asked in awaiting a chance to turn the tide.
"No! Not yet. For you see, my dear commanders, they are nearly spent from fighting and have been damaged. During a brief period of lower guard, we must aid in the final strike." Megatron shook his to explain the manner of what he is planning that may be used in this battle.
"I see, you anticipated that even if the enemy manages to catch our troops off guard with surprise tactics, they would be nearly spent." Shadow Panther firmly nods his head from following precisely what Megatron was plotting.
"Ohhhh, that's a brilliant plan Lord Megatron. With this, you may even secure the Key if she's weaken." Scorponok proclaimed in thinking Megatron's plan was genius.
"Yes, my plans are one for praise. Now let us begin." Megatron firmly gave the order on what they must do now. "And just to tilt the odds even further in our favor?" Megatron proclaimed as he looks to his right side to show a sneaky grin.
From Megatron's general direction, there were two primates yelping against the flames approaching them as they were trap by a large boulder. But while one panicked, the other stood to act as a shield to protect his friend.
"SLASH!/KABOOM!/WRAARRrughhh!?" Then above, we spot Terrorsaur was taken down by Axel's Chakrams as they made an explosive impact when the bot was in the air.
"Pant…anymore…cause I can do this all day?" Axel tries to crack a smile in trying to show he's still able to keep on going.
"Wait, where's Dinobot?" Sara asked in noticing someone was not here.
"Artemis went with him to clear some debris." Sora inform the two which made them worry, knowing Dinobot is pushing himself too much as it is.
"Nruagh…Huuarguh!?" Dinobot was seen struggling & exhaling when he lifts to toss a tree log away, trying to clear a path and remove any source for the fire to burn. "Grugh-Hurgh, Huurrrgh!?" He was wheezing as he grip his hands, trying to be ready for anything.
"Dinobot, you need rest…" Artemis tried to reason with Dinobot, but…
"I'm fine, I don't need…" Dinobot protest to say he doesn't need help when…
"PRusvhmm…" Then without warning, an emerald beam ray fired at Dinobot.
"BOOM!/GRUUOOWwwwh!?" Dinobot yelps as he was knocked backwards to smack against a nearby rock. "GRUOOOaaurgh!?" Dinobot clutch his gut as his body emitted a green energy pulse of venom paralyzing his system.
"Dinobot…" Artemis tried to reach the guy to help, but… "PRsuvhmmm…/URRRugh!?" Artemis yelps as she got struck by the same green energy ray that paralyzed her to collapse.
"GRrrrrourrgh!?" Dinobot looks ahead to find the one who just attacked out of nowhere.
"Well howdy? Hah!" Quickstrike was seen coming into the picture as he laugh it up. "Don't bother getting up, I'll just heeehh…kick yah while yer down?" He boast as his hissing cobra arm was aim ahead, preparing to attack a bot that can't get back up when injured.
"Every…one…come…here?" Artemis used a com-link to contact the others.
"Oh, little darling, ain't nobody coming to save either of yah?" Quickstrike remarked that the poor gynoid has got things all messed up if she believes help will come.
"WRRrisssvhmmm…PRUssvhhmmm…" Then Dinobot struggled before changing his optics to a green color and fired his Optic Beam.
"Topvhmm…/GYAaah-Ugh!?" Quickstrike yelps from the sudden pain in his right shoulder as he moved back a bit.
"HUrgh-GROOurrugh!?" Dinobot groans as he struggled to push himself upward while clutching his chest from the pain. "Trisssvhmmm…" Then Dinobot was preparing another green optic beam when… "PRusvhm-Tropvhm-Trsopvhm, Tropvhmm…" Without warning, the beams didn't go far from the optic eyes as they reacted in a static spark before sinking back and the eyes return to normal.
"Warning – Systems Failing." The male computer voice system of Dinobot's body alerted him of his situation.
Quickstrike raised an eyebrow in having watch with interest in seeing…a wounded bot unable to produce a single energy attack due to being badly damaged. Dinobot silently snarls under breath, feeling that his body won't be able to last at this rate.
"So…What's a warrior without…Weapons, eh?" Quickstrike asked with a smug attitude as he held his hissing cobra arm, seeing he can take down Dinobot if all his weapons are either gone or don't work right.
"Grrruarrgh…" Dinobot growls from hearing that remark, as he won't be talk down from his handicap state. "A Warrior still!" Dinobot grips his right hand in proclaiming he's a warrior even without any weapons. "GRAAauugh!/PUNCH!/CLUNK!" Then Dinobot delivered an upwards clasp hand move against Quickstrike's head & a downward bash to temporally stun the enemy. "GRUUAARugh-GRAAAAAH!" Then Dinobot grabs Qucikstrike by the shoulders to lift him & toss him downwards.
"CLUNKVhhmm…" And pretty much Dinobot jab Quickstrike right between two rocks as his legs knee and drop.
"We're here, what…" Then arriving were the rest of the Lyoko Warriors and New Warriors, each looking a little more worn out then the next.
"What happened to you?" Odd asked in noticing how bad Ulrich was looking.
"Can ask the same thing?" Ulrich remarked off in seeing Odd was no worse then he was.
"We all got a bit bang up it seems?" William stated in noticing how messy they seem.
"Everyone…help Dinobot…his system…malfunctioning." Artemis spoke weakly as Sissi and Yumi helped her up while informing about Dinobot's condition.
"Is that true Dinobot?" Sissi asked surprised to hear this out of nowhere.
"Just…ugh…a small one…" Dinobot groans to hid his pain, but it was not working.
"That doesn't look small at all?" Yumi firmly narrow her eyes, knowing the damage Dinobot sustain is more then he lets off.
"NRruaghh!?" Dinobot signs with a moan, feeling almost exhausted after that fight as he clutch his gut and held his head.
"Beep-beep, beep!" Then Dinobot's systems were beeping on an alert. "Waring! Power Reserves 96 Percent Depleted." The male computer voice alerted of how much energy was used, the bot was running low on fuel. "Stasis-Lock – Commencing." The system issued in preparing Stasis-Lock to begin internal repairs to Dinobot.
"Uh-oh, looks like Dinobot is about to hit sleepy town soon?" Jin exclaimed in seeing Dinobot won't be able to stay awake much longer.
"You rest up Dinobot, we'll handle things." Jeremie insisted that Dinobot leave everything to them.
Soon sounds were heard as the sequence for Stasis-Lock was about to commence to preserve Dinobot's life. However, something drag the back of the Ex-Pred's mind – the battle is yet decided at it's critical moment.
"Nrrugh…Override?" Dinobot growls in announcing the deactivation of Stasis-Lock which halted the system.
"Repeat! Power Lost Critical." The male computer voice responded with another warning update for the bot subject in the red zone. "Further Expediters Will Result In Lost Of Spark!" The warning was more serious when mentioning the dangers of a Transformer Spark about to go out. "Stasis-Lock – MUST Commence!" The system instructed the bot to reconsider…
"OVERRIDE!" Dinobot yells out frustrated to override the safety protocol.
"Beep-Beep!/Acknowledge." The male computer voice responded as the request was done under Dinobot's order.
"Dinobot, what are you thinking!? You're WAY Too damaged to continue?" Jeremie
"I must….if not…" Dinobot
"I thought I was crazy, but Dinobot's taking the Cake!? He's gonna fight while looking that bad?" Jin
"Oy-oy-oy, didn't your system say if you don't do as it says, your Spark goes out?" Tytree
"To leave the battlefield before accomplishing our objective to the young is a disgrace! And I…urgh…will not leave this to the young." Dinobot
"Dinobot?" Aelita
"NRruaagh!?" Dinobot growls lightly under his breath while standing a bit up to look around the area. "How many have been defeated or flead?"
"Well, we've all taken down many of the fliers, aqua, and ground units. Followed by some Transmetals, and the larger bots." Aelita
"Heck, even saw them other Pred Fuzors gathering their defeated forces to retreat." Odd
"Hmmm?" Dinobot made a low hum noise, as if processing the detail report to confirm their situation thus far while he observes their surroundings.
There was nothing but a burning valley as far as the eye can see. But to those present, the number of Predacons did not add up to those encountered and defeated. True some left the battle, but that would mean out of the 45 Predacons that came, the only number left uncheck were down to…just 5 left!
"POW!/Bam!/GRAaaugh!?" Axel was suddenly hit by an attack from behind.
"Hugh?" Tytree saw his friend got hit but an unseen attack. "POW!/BAM!/GYRaaugh!?" But then he was hit by another an unseen attack too.
"What the?" Jin looked around and was about to use the wind when… "POW!/BAM!/GAAAaugh!?" The same unseen attack struck him down as well.
Then something appeared when the New Warriors were taken down, Shadow Panther.
"Sorry, but you three seem the most dangerous." Shadow Panther remarked in wanting those to stay down for the time being.
"Shadow Panther! He was in stealth mode!" Jeremie alerted the others of who showed up.
"Hah-hah-hah, hah!" Then Drago Wing was seen flying from above to lash his whip downwards.
"AAAahhh!?" Sissi, Sara and Sora yelps as a whip tied them up, restraining their movements.
"Your mine now!" Drago Wing was about to swing his other bat-blade weapon… "Ugh…" Then he felt his arm stop from a pink aura glow keeping it from moving.
"Urrgh…" Yumi groans from using her Telekinsis to keep the enemy from harming her friends.
"You Cowardly Bat Freak!" Sissi protest as she and the Sumdac girls struggle to break free.
"Too weak to fight me, the moment you release my hold, your friends are done for." Drago Wing remarked in using whatever advantage he can use to turn the tide.
"Hang on girls, we're coming!" Odd was about to charge in to help when… "GRIP!/GYAAaugh!?" Without warning, a grappler claw arm press Odd against a rock, and it belong to another foe.
"Not so fast! You yet to deal with Sky-Byte!" Sky-Byte remarked in pinning Odd from escaping.
"WRAAaugh!" Then Scorponok appeared from above to transform and opened his claws.
"GRIPVhm…/GUUaugh!?" Ulrich and William yelps when Scorponok pin them into the ground, they held their weapons up front to avoid a crunch, but…
"Those that go agaisnt Lord Megatron will not be spared!" Scorponok proclaimed as he was keeping these two from going anywhere.
"Everyone…" Aelita called out, as she was preparing an Energy Field to save her friends…
"Click…" Then Shadow Panther held a trigger device as he press the button.
"Trisisivhmm…/AAaahhhh!?" Without warning, strange camouflage devices released an electric surge, entrapping Aelita within.
"AELITA!" Jeremie screamed out seeing the girl in trouble.
"A little something I set in advance…you humans might be skilled, but you lack experience from overconfidence." Shadow Panther remarked that it never fails to prepare ahead of time.
"Nrrrrugh…" Dinobot growls under breath in seeing such cowardly actions.
"Ah yes, Dinobot, we did not forget you, but our hands are tied here." Shadow Panther sadly inform Dinobot the four commanders are tied up at the moment. "So, someone else shall deal with you." He issued to say that another player will take care of the Ex-Pred.
"Dan-ger…detecting…fifth…Pred Signature near?" Artemis spoke as she tries to push herself up to look ahead of where another enemy is coming from.
Then a sound was heard in the distance, they were loud metal stomps. The very familiar pattern alerted Dinobot immediately of what was coming now…
"Megatron…." Dinobot muttered under his breath the name of the biggest enemy yet to be dealt with.
"Hmm, my ears are burning! Yesss!" Then stomping from around a boulder corner, was Megatron in Beast Mode before looking the other way. "Why, Dinobot, what a delightful surprise!" Dinobot held out his T-rex arms in pretending to be surprised by who he encounter here. "Let's see, where are we now?" Megatron rambled a bit to check over things on the situation thus far. "Um, I have the Golden Disk, I have the power to change the future…" Megatron held his left hand to raise one finger at a time stating the major advantages on his side. "And the only remaining obstacle in my path to Unimaginable Glory..." He was sounding so excited and pleased that the only thing left stopping him was… "Is yourself and your young rebel unit." Megatron remotely stated that Dinobot was the last problem keeping him from ultimate victory.
"But not for long, Lord Megatron. Now victory is certain thanks to the Electric Capture Net of what they had with them." Shadow Panther issued in revealing they have captured Aelita in an electric trap barrier.
"Ah yes, I suppose I can thank you for allowing me to once more, reclaim the Key." Megatron smiles in finding the claim of Aelita to be a good bonus.
"You haven't won YET! We're still standing!" Jeremie protest as he was not about to give up as he clutch his staff, trying to not look weak.
"Oh come now, as if you or anyone is in any shape. Why look at Dinobot." Megatron issued to proclaim before all eyes fall upon Dinobot. "Exhausted. Damaged beyond recovery." Then as Dinobot listened while still damaged and tired, Megatron was transforming while throwing salt words into one's wounds. "In short of Dinobot's case, he is - Defeated." Megatron remarks from transforming to Robot Mode, stating that Dinobot's condition suggest, he won't last long now…
"Not…just yet! GRUUAAArugh!?" Dinobot was struggling as he lift his arms up to prepare a final push when…
"Ah-ah-ah!" Megatron wiggled a finger to stop such action before he aims his Tail Grappler directly at…a primate restrain in energy bounds by the ankles, chest and wrist. "One more step, and it's raining bits of early anthropoid, Ye-es-s-s." Megatron issued with a dark threatening tone of what will happen to the poor creature who seem scared.
"Urgh….that's just like him, using one more hostage to tip the scales!" Ulrich groans in seeing such a cowardly and sneaky acts.
"Yeah, the guy's a real…jerk-face!" William remarked in seeing how low Megatron can go.
"SILENCE! Our Leader Is Always Ahead of whatever you plan!" Scorponok protest in not allowing such defiance.
"Save it, it's as bad as having any of your bad breaths on us." Odd protest remarked in struggling as Sky-Byte leans to snarl at the boy.
"Grrrr…" Dinobot lets off a low growl as he became hesitated to act so long as a native creature important to history, was endanger by Megatron's grasp.
"Oh dear, how positively Maximal of you." Megatron exclaimed in stating how Dinobot has truly shown the signs of how Maximals do things to protect organic life. "You were weakened before you and your rebels started, Dinobot." Megatron narrow his eyes stating how weak Dinobot was before having started to fight them. "Weakened by compassion./Trissvhmm…." As Megatron coldly stated what made the brutal warrior fall was feeling compassion as he aims and opens the Tail-Grappler to prepare an energy blast.
"BRWAAaaughh!?" But Dinobot immediately leaps to roll across the ground, grabs a nearby lump of a stick to use.
"WHACK!/URrugh!?" Megatron yelped from Dinobot's quick reflex to whack him with a tough stick in hand.
"WHACK! WHACK!" Many who saw this watch on in surprise, even the captured primate watch closely in how one can fight against such a terrible opponent. "WHACK! WHACK!" Dinobot continued his relentless stick whacking attempts when…
"GRUOOurgh!/PUNCH!" Megatron had enough to deliver a strong left hoof that knock Dinobot away.
"CLunkvvhmmm…" Dinobot hit against the ground on his front side, as he was seen struggling to get up: his body began to react to an Energon Buildup.
"Oh-ho, really Dinobot?" Megatron laughs off against the pitiful Dinobot's struggles. "A Stick?" Megatron exclaimed stump and surprise by such a choice. "Bwah! Against a Transmetal!? Hah!?" He smiles to laugh and wipes off the dirt on him, as if hardly feeling anything broke through his tough metal body. "I think Not?" He coldly taunts Dinobot that a mere primitive weapon cannot win against advance tech as a Transmetal body.
Dinobot struggles to be on his backside, as his body continued displaying an energy pulse as if saying he's reaching a limit.
"Oh no…Energon Build-up! Like Dinobot didn't have enough problems!" Sissi alerted what was happening to Dinobot now that she recognized.
"Dinobot, you have to stop!" Sora pleaded for the bot to listen.
"Go into Stasis-Lock! Hurry!" Sara asked in not wanting to see anymore.
"You can't continue…urgh…pushing yourself? Urrgh?" Yumi moans from struggling to use her telekinesis to keep Drago Wing from harming the others.
"Bold words considering you are reaching a limit as well?" Drago Wing remarked that soon Yumi will run out of steam.
"Final warning…Power Failing…" Then the male computer voice of Dinobot's system gave a final warning of the bot's energy reserves. "Jeopardy Extreme…Repeat – EXTREME!" The system continued to warn Dinobot of how critical he was pushing himself.
"Grrrr…Urrrargh!?" Dinobot ignores the warnings, as he struggles to get up… "Urrargh!?" But Dinobot stops at a knee & hands on the ground state, aching all over: all while Megatron slowly approaches the weaken warrior.
"Oh, please! Face it, Dinobot!" Megatron remarks over Dinobot's will to continue a fruitless effort. "You're old technology, obsolete." As Megatron stated this, he held his Tail-Grappler which opened and shut, as if pointing out the Ex-Pred had no chance against those more powerful as Transmetals. "You've all but lost, you have no more cards to play. No weapons left to play, no allies to rescue you." Megatron was boasting that nothing was left for Dinobot to even hold onto. "Hugh? What could YOU…possibly DO?/TRrussvhmm…" Megatron rhetorically asked as he aims his weapon charged up to prepare a final blow.
The situation seem bad, Dinobot had been cornered big time. Dinobot was injured before the battle, he fought, suffered heavy damages, lost weapons along the way and some malfunction. Even the Lyoko Warriors and New Warriors could not fight anymore while having all but been capture or subdued. Now on the brink of it all, Dinobot's body is reaching a dangerous limit where if he doesn't go into Stasis-Lock, he's finished. But even in Stasis-Lock to preserve his life, Dinobot knew Megatron would continue to change the future by harming the primates & there's no telling if Optimus' side would arrive by then. After looking over things, what Megatron said of what he could possibly do, the answer came to Dinobot…
"Improvise." Dinobot narrow his eyes in muttering just one word when against all else.
"CAffvhm…" Then Dinobot reacted to swing the stick down to pierce the triangle point of a rock: then lifts it out of the ground to give the stick a form of an embedded rock taking the appearance of a hammer.
"Huuugh!?" Megatron stared before gasping upon realizing what Dinobot has pulled out of nowhere while leaping towards him with a fashion made weapon.
"HRUU-AARRRugh!/CLUNKFruvhmm…." Ushering every might with a battle cry, Dinobot hits Megatron hard with his made primitive hammer.
During the clash that knock Megatron off balance, something was pop and shot out…the Golden Disk!?
"TRAAaugh-AAaurgh!?" Megatron made a yelp cry as he hits the ground on his back, and sparks flew off his chest: the primitive weapon had punctured his high tech defense. "Truspvhmmm…" During the same motion, the energy binds around the primate vanished, allowing the stump creature to escape now that the captivator was taken down.
"LORD MEGATRON!?" Sky-Byte cried out to look at what's happen to his leader.
"Nrrrugh…No Choice! CHARGE SHOT!" Odd groans to struggle before placing both hands in front of the claw which were charging up.
"HUUUGH!? OH NO!" Sky-Byte looked back only to gasp in shocking surprise before… "KABOOM!/GRAAAAughhhh!" The Pred was shot across the field away from Odd.
"Hugh!?" Drago Wing noticed Sky-Byte flying at him to duck away in time, but…
"Nrrugh….EAT THIS!" Sissi manages to unleash her Genie-like ability to zap the target.
"Bziizizizvhmmm…./GYAAAAugh!?" Drago Wing yelps as the Sumdac girls & Sissi brace against the attack before the whip was undone and they drop down.
"Well this will hurt?" Ulrich groans in knowing what they have to do.
"Majorly so! Ready!" William replied off in hating what comes next for them…
"WAH!?" Scorponok looked at the boys under his claws before…
"SWORD BEAM!" Ulrich and William shouted as their blades charged under the enemy's claws at close range before…
"KABLAM!/GAARRRRRRoughh!?" Scorponok screams as his claws were busted while he got knock across the area.
"No! We can't lose now…" Shadow Panther yelps before turning to see how the others are dropping like flies.
"Element: Lightning!" Jeremie announced as he aims his staff at the distracted foe.
"TRisisvhmm…/NRRAAaugh!?" Shadow Panther yelps from the shock, but at the moment he pulled his weapon… "POWfruvhmm…" Then he opened fire before dropping on the ground.
"BOOM!/AAArugh!?" Jeremie yelps as he was unguarded and hit a nearby tree which had one of the set devices.
"Trsisivhmm…" Soon the electric net barrier was disturb, causing the field to drop. "Ugh!?" Aelita yelps to drop on her hands and knees, free from capture but exhausted.
"GRrruagh!?" Falling from above was the Golden Disk which Dinobot soon caught within his hands.
"Uurrgh…my aching head?" Axel groans from slowly waking up along with Tytree and Jin as they ache all over.
"Oy-oy, what happened here?" Tytree shook his head before noticing what happened while they were out.
"Urgh….you all must get to safety, before….huurghhnn…the Predacons revive?" Dinobot groans from the pain, as he orders those to flee before the enemy comes to.
"Ugh, not without you. Lets move together." Ulrich groans to say as he slowly pushes himself to his feet.
"Yeah, let's take that disk along and…" Odd spoke as he tries to stand up with his arms hurting when…
"NO!" Dinobot roared that caught everyone's attention here. "Grguraaugh….this Golden Disk is too dangerous, as long as it exist, Megatron will use it's knowledge of the future…and change reality here in the past." He explained that so long as the disk exist, their enemies will come seeking to misuse it. "This power, should not be in anyone's hands."
"Okay….leave it to me…Tornado Fist…" Jin smiled as he tries to form a wind around his fist but….it disappeared. "Hugh? Where's me wind?" He was shock, as he tried to summon wind beneath his feet but no dice.
"Everyone's stamina and energy are spent, others are too injured to perform even a single attack." Artemis sadly shook her head to confirm everyone was in no condition. "I estimate the enemy will recover enough to overcome us and reclaim the disk." She calculated the risk of what's to come if nothing is done.
"Aelita, can't you destroy it?" William asked in thinking that the one member that's the powerful Key, could break this disk easily.
"I'm sorry, that electric net also used my own energy to harm me. I don't have much left." Aelita shook her head to sadly say that she has no energy left to even pull off such a thing.
"So that's it? Are we gonna let them win?" Sissi asked in not wanting to believe this was it.
"None of us have any strength left, I can barely lift my mallet." Sara sadly shows she tries to summon her mallet, but barely had the strength to move it.
"What else can stop the enemy from misusing the future to affect the past?" Sora asked in not seeing a way to overcome this.
Dinobot stares at the Golden Disk, this was the object that started everything. Megatron had assemble a group of Predacons to steal what would become instruments of great power, and was right. And the Golden Disk held record of the future and misusing it could change reality into something else. Dinobot knew this disk was too dangerous, if kept around the Predacons would come back to steal it again to repeat the same actions. In the end, Dinobot reach a conclusion of what needs to be done…
"Hmmm…Divert all power to Optic Weaponry." Dinobot gave an order to his system to prepare a big move.
"Beep-Beep!/Warning! All Power Resolves Low – Action Will Result…" The male computer voice tries to alert the bot that the order will result in his imminent demise, but…
"DO IT!" Dinobot snaps to yell for his voice in demanding the system do what he wants even at his craziest expense.
"Hugh…Dinobot…you wouldn't…you can barely stand as it is?" Jeremie protest in thinking that will push Dinobot to no return.
"Belpois, in the end…you must take the heaviest risk…to help save all you know." Dinobot announced that in the end, a sacrifice has to be done to ensure a better tomorrow.
"QRrussssvvhh…." Then Dinobot was shaking as if trying to channel any energy left him towards one location… "TRissvhmmm…" Dinobot held the Golden Disk above his head, and soon his eyes were glowing green: he was channeling all his power for one last effort.
"Dinobot!? WAIT!" William yells for the bot to stop.
"DON'T DO IT!" Ulrich shouted to stop this action.
"THERE HAS TO BE ANYWAY!?" Odd screams as they didn't want this.
"There isn't…" Dinobot muttered under his breath as he looked to the startled humans…
"Huuugh!?" Aelita gasped in seeing what was about to happen and their voices can't stop their friend.
"Goodbye…" Dinobot whispered this soft response before focusing on the disk in his grip.
"DINOBOOOOOOOOOT!" Aelita screams at the top of her lungs, but…
"BRAAWROOAagh…" Dinobot lets off the mightiest battle cry ever before… "POWFruvhm!/BAMFruvhmm…/GRAAAOOARRRraaaa-ARRRRAAAaughhhhhh!" Dinobot unleashed hi Optic Beam blast which completely destroyed the Golden Disk to shatter into a thousand pieces…
Time seem slow as Dinobot's eyes return to normal, but he slowly kneel backwards before losing balance. And as pieces of the Golden Disk fell to the ground, Dinobot soon hit the ground hard with closed eyes and grit teeth. Then time resume it's course, but only it the dramatic moment of a fallen brave soul lying around the shattered remains of the Golden Disk and across from Dinobot was his fallen foe Megatron.
"Ahh!?" Sissi gasped in shock to drop on her knees.
"Noo…?" Yumi covered her mouth, too horrified at this.
The others had silence expressions, others had grief faces to look away, but many could not believe this…
"Dinobot…?" Aelita was on the ground, her hands dig the dirt as she let off tears from watching this and could do nothing to stop it.
Then above the valley were the Maximals, as the ground unit drops down, the fliers soar over the area. Megatron finally regains himself to look ahead upon realizing that the situation has slipped his grasp and now, the Maximals arrival complicate things.
"Trusvhmm…/Pow-Pow-Pow-Pow-Pow…" Optimus Primal transforms in mid-air before using his rapid gun sets to open fire below.
"Boom-Boom, Boom…" Multiple explosions occur as the enemy knew their advantage was gone and would be at the mercy of the Maximals bombarding them.
"Urrgh…Lord Megatron, we must escape." Sky-Byte groans from the pain while stating to their leader they have to fallback.
"I agree. The Maximals have arrived." Drago Wing alerted that their enemies outnumber them too much now.
"I've contact the others, a Warp Gate's open in the other direction. We must escape." Shadow Panther announced this as he and Scorponok slowly arrived in seeing they must escape.
"Grrr…So Close…!?" Megatron snarls in sounding upset over everything that fell apart: his plan to change reality was thwarted. "I WAS SO…CLOOOOOOSE!" Megatron transforms to Flight Mode while letting loose this long agnozing yell of such a grant victory slip through his grasp.
Now Megatron flew off in escaping the Maximals attack. The Predacon commanders yelped to try to run after their leader, during the moment, Shadow Panther snatch a triangle piece of the broken disk as the enemy had flead. Then around an unconscious Dinobot, heavy stomps are heard as Optimus Primal arrived to see what's happen. Then revving to appear near Optimus and transform to Robot Mode was Rattrap
"Huuuuuugh!" Rattrap let off a big gasp in having seen what has happen to poor Dinobot. "Heeeph!?" Rattrap exhaled as he close his eyes to look down, seeing this was a sight…he never dreamt of seeing.
"HAH!" Then Jackrabbit was seen arriving along with other Maximals. "No way…It…CAN'T BE!?" She protest as she hurried over there.
"Dinobot…?" Lynxa silently muttered while experiencing great shock.
"By The All-Spark?" Dive-Bomb lightly gasped in what he had seen.
Above the valley, as the fires continue to burn around, we see among the Maximals fly overhead. It was Cheetor leading other Maximal Fliers, and before any knew it, they released a sherbet color powder over the flames. That in turn caused many of the fires to be put out, saving the valley from being burn.
"The fire's put out." Larkshot issued that they have finished this task.
"And the enemy has fled." Wingblade issued that no sign of any enemies, the Preds have long fled the scene.
"Maximals, once your done come down. There's something…we all have to bear seeing."
"Our commander's voice, it does not sound good?" Iron Duke spoke with concern shared by the rest before they all flew downwards once they were finished.
Now the scene focuses on where many of the Maximals were in Robot Mode, many gathered to stand while others kneel close to a fallen comrade: Dinobot. Even the Lyoko Warriors and New Warriors stood around the circle, given some first-aid after surviving a battle as rough as this.
"There's…There's gotta be something we can do?" Cheetor suggest in hoping there was a way to help poor Dinobot.
"Yeah, can't we put him in Stasis-Lock for a while until we get back to base? That might…" Aquarius tried to think up a way to delay this action, however…
"He's too far gone….even for Stasis-Lock." Rhinox shook his head in sadly stating the reality is: there's no way to fix damage beyond this measure.
"But…can't we do anything?" Bonecrusher asked in thinking they didn't try all their options.
"Dive-Bomb!? You're a Medic Bot? Surely you along with Shellter, Liepard, even Volpex, must do something?" Mach Kick asked in trying to stay hopeful here.
"That's just it…we have done all we could now." Shellter looked down in self pity from not having done enough it seems.
"But…the more we try to fix, the faster he loses what little energy remains." Liepard sadly shook her head that the conclusion was the same which can't be changed.
"I hate to say it, I really-REALLY Do, but…none of us can help him? Not even my healing ability can stop this, I feel so….useless!" Volpex grits her teeth to clutch her hands, feeling so angry over not having done enough to help a friend in such dire need.
"You're pulling my leg here. How can you be called Medical Bots, if you can't even do something like…" Grizzly-1 protest in starting to lose his cool when…
"ENOUGH! You think it's easy to fix a patient who pushed themselves to this breaking point?" Dive-Bomb sternly snaps to explain by a professional's opinion on a patient they can't save even with their best effort. "There's…nothing any of us can do except be with him while he has time." He looked away to state all they can do, is be there for Dinobot with his remaining moments.
"But him among Dinobots, me Grimlock don't want to say bye." Grimlock spoke from feeling sad to say goodbye to a bot that has the same name of his old unit of Dinobots.
"Even as the tree withers, it returns to the planet from whence it's seed sprouted. Such is the cycle." Drifter spoke with some wise words of wisdom, but his expression still showed heartache all the same.
"Hey, I think he's coming around!" Armordillo exclaimed in noticing some movement.
Dinobot was seen with his optics on, blinking a bit to turn his head in noticing those gathered around him. All of the Maximals and the humans that fought with him had come at last during his final hour…
"Well fought, my friend." Optimus Primal nods his head to firmly praise the hardest effort Dinobot has ever done. "You saved the valley." He issued to mention that the valley was saved thanks to Dinobot because of his efforts.
"URrrhmm…" Dinobot let off a low voice tone as he listens to his commander.
"You saved the lives of those who live here...and of those who are still to come." Optimus Primal announced the beyond the call of duty Dinobot did: saving the lives of those here will result in many new lives to come during the passage of time of future generations.
"Then... there is nothing to regret." Dinobot replied in feeling that after having achieve such a thing, he has no regrets left unsaid. "Except, for one…" He spoke in knowing there maybe one regret he realized.
Then Dinobot points his free hand towards the children, more precisely, at Aelita. The pink haired girl approach to kneel down to grab Dinobot's hand.
"Child, I feel true regret that I aided Megatron in having stolen you along with the Golden Disk." Dinobot spoke to admit a guilt that has been eating him up inside for his past crime. "Perhaps if I never became apart of it, you could have been spared of the events to live through now that you have become awaken." He feels responsible for letting Aelita now live in a world where enemies are after her as the Key of Primus the Creator.
"It's okay, I'm not mad about it. Rather, if I was never taken and awoke on this world…" Aelita tried to put on a smile while looking at Jeremie and her friends. "I would never have meant the people I care for, or be who I am if I remain in my pod." She mentioned how she likes living among those she got to meet then remain in Stasis-Lock in her pod. "I know what you did was wrong, but…geh…you always tried to live by a warrior's code, it's amazing to see even if you were a Predacon." She broke into some small tears, but wipes them away to say these things that come to mind.
"I see, then I'm glad…that everything I've done, not all of it was in vein." Dinobot exclaimed in feeling like hearing this relieves him so. "Belpois…" He called Jeremie's name to approach him.
"Ye-yes…" Jeremie kneels down to be near Aelita before Dinobot.
"Do help take care of the Key, she…hmm…Aelita, trust you the most." Dinobot asked this of what he requires of the boy who he's seen grown much since they first meant. "You, and your own group of warriors…must protect her if Optimus and the others can't reach her. You've grown stronger since that time." Dinobot request this of the boy who's smart to know how he must try to help his friends if the Maximals aren't there.
"Dinobot…" Jackrabbit called out as she approach looking ready to lose it, this sight was hard on her.
"Jackrabbit, forgive me…" Dinobot apologized to the cadet-in-training who seem most heartbroken. "I saw much potential of a warrior in you…But now, I must leave that task…to others who share my view." He issued in looking to other Maximals that hold that warrior's spirit among them that are more about fighting then anything else.
"You do not have to worry friend. Many of us will help teach the things we learn and even honor you with the tactics you showed us." Iron Duke spoke with an honorable term that those here can help teach Jackrabbit how to be a warrior among them.
"Indeed, it is to the knight's code…to teach the young the lessons of those that came before them." Ivor nods to humbly state this with much a knightly way of speaking of the subject.
"Um, Rattrap, don't you wanna say something?" Gimlet asked in thinking the rodent has been quiet for a long time.
"Yeah man, we're all waiting?" Diver asked in thinking even Rattrap wants to say a few things.
"Sheesh, don't push it guys…" Rattrap remarked in not wanting those to rush him during this moment.
"Let him be, among many of us…these two grew closer." Leo firmly spoke in knowing that Rattrap and Dinobot share much history together.
"Closer to ripping each other apart, you mean?" Override rolled her eyes to lightly joke to remember things from back then.
"Even foes that fought many times may learn to understand another." B'Boom firmly nods his head in knowing, as these two have fought be it at another or side by side…they became closer to understanding another.
"Geez, can you believe all that scrape? It's like I said, you're just a blasted, slag-spouting saurian, but, eh…" Rattrap was making a remark issue of what he sees Dinobot for all his faults while gripping his hand until… "But it's nice to know where you stand." He swallowed his pride to give praise for what Dinobot at least stood forth by his code of honor in being on their side.
"Upwind of you, for preference, vermin." Dinobot exclaimed surprise in hearing Rattrap give him some sentimental praise rather then sarcasm.
Rattrap gasped in hearing Dinobot say such a thing, and more shocking, the rodent smiled in looking happy to be insulted by the bot he loved getting under his scales.
"I'm sorry, but he only has less then a minute left…" Longrack sadly inform those that there is not much time left.
"But there's still so much for us to say?" Auroras exclaimed that they want to continue to say a few more things.
"Though we do, it's clear we all feel the same." Cybershark stated in knowing they all have the same thing in mind.
"Dinobot is more then an Ex-Predacon, he's one of us." Claw Jaw nods to confirm that in the end, they see Dinobot as a fellow Maximal.
"Yeah! He's a Maximal through an through!" Razorbeast nods to proudly say this guy is one of them.
"We were truly glad to have meant him, and that he join our side." K-9 nods to agree, many of them knew Dinobot from the beginning before the Beast Wars.
"We all had problems with his attitude, but that's just who he is. A stubborn one to the end." Icthyo stated that she knows that Dinobot's character, is what made him special.
"Even among us stubborn types, we got along great!" Polar Claw nods to agree that the stubborn like to stick together…stubbornly.
"Not many of us known him for long." Jack-Tool shook his head in knowing many don't know much about Dinobot after being online not as long as the older crew members.
"But we knew of his actions to know him well enough." Zephyr-1 nods to confirm that actions can speak louder then words.
"I understand enough by my own will of who Dinobot is to me. To us." Salvage nods in knowing that while a part of him was somewhat born from William, his Spark is his own and has come to know who Dinobot was from his own living.
"Yeah, he might not have been the funny type. But he enjoyed pulling some sly moves to beat his enemies." Blaze-Wing stated to say in trying to keep up the mood as funny as can be, but…even she felt sad on the inside.
"He was not just a brutal warrior, he also fought with his head at times." Fox-Paw confirm in how many saw Dinobot in many highlights.
"It would have been a pleasure to continue fighting under him." Wing Saber stated how Dinobot could have been the best among them.
"Indeed, you are a warrior of the highest honor." Beetleborg proclaimed the most honorable means to proclaim how they feel about Dinobot's actions.
"We Fuzors believed in Megatron when some of us came to believe we were Predacons." Air Hammer stated to firmly remember the early Fuzors experience living under the false idea they were Predacons.
"But then we learn the truth, and even then learn, we were not the only ones that change sides." Bantor issued to mention how they knew they were not the only bots that left the Preds because Dinobot was among the first.
"Heh, yeah Dinobot left for his own reasons, but he sure found a great group to join and we're living proof." Noctorro boasted a bit to try to brighten the mood with his tough guy act, some could see through it though.
"We were given a chance to learn from our mistake, and Dinobot helped us understand we don't have to follow those that only see to use us." Silverbolt humbly and nobly proclaim how they came to understand each other not on who's side they are on, but what's inside.
"Yeah, we are our own men! And we're not gonna back down!" Torca proclaimed as he punch his fist together, agreeing 100 percent.
"Don't worry, we will fight in your steed." Streamline issued to say for Dinobot to leave things to them.
"Yeah, but…no one will be like how you are Dinobot." Lockjaw stated to give some kind words for thought.
"You are, and always will be…one of us. Be it Maximal or not." Skystorm issued in stating how Dinobot has a place with them, no matter their origin be a Maximal or Predacon.
"I am….touch?" Dinobot slowly responded from having been told of so many of these touching thoughts.
Everyone just stares and tries to put on their bravest faces, as time was growing closer. Dinobot sensed this before deciding to give…a final last speech.
"...Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly." Dinobot weakly spoke in requesting his story be told to all future generations and for them to judge him on who he was, not for what he is. "Grugrugruaaghh…The rest... is silence." He muttered this out as he muttered with his few breaths…
Then without warning, Dinobot's systems were shutting down as he lies back, head tilting while his optics were going out. The grip on his hand was loosening as Rattrap struggled & shook in witnessing the end of a friend, even if Dinobot was an Ex-Pred: that don't matter now.
"Hmmm…sniff…" Jackrabbit tried to hold back the urge to let her emotions flow out, as Lynxa and Aquarus comfort her. Many were feeling sad to see this, the departure of a dear friend.
Then after Rattrap set the hand down, a bright flash occurred which caught everyone's attention as it made a pulsating beating sound. Many had sorrow expressions while watching what was happening. Many saw what was leaving Dinobot's body, was his Spark. It was hovering up over everyone while emitting a brighter blue flash of energy unlike what other Sparks do. To many that were young through being cadet or new faces active, never seen a Spark depart like this.
"Dinobot's Spark…what's happening?" Aelita asked in not knowing if this was normal or not.
"When a Transformer dies, their Spark returns from where it came from…the Matrix. It was something I research, but at times…this rare event may occur." Artemis responded in having read up on how the Transformer Spark lives the body when the time comes.
The human children were lost because this sight left them staring without missing a thing, no one had actually lost their life in the war until their side had it.
"Well, lets give Chopper-Face something, he can feel proud of at least…" Rattrap signed to give in to what they gotta do next for the old soldier boy.
Then Rattrap got up first, and then what he did was did a formal salute to Dinobot's departure. Many were doing the same salute as if to honor the fallen who fought bravely until the very end. Not just the Maximals and cadets, even the Lyoko Warriors and New Warriors put on a front to give an honor salute to a brave solider.
"He lived a warrior... and died a hero." Optimus Primal gives a rousing speech eulogy for Dinobot. "Let his spark join the Matrix, the greatest of Cybertron." As Optimus said this, many see Dinobot's Spark flash above the night sky before a bright yellow star flash occurred: signaling the Spark has left on a journey to rejoin the Matrix where all Transformers return to once their time is done…
BY THE MORNING DAY
The scene changes to the rising sunrise across a vast distance, the sun was slowing seen over the waters leading to a waterfall around the mountains area. During the time, a Hero's Honor theme could be heard during the whole event. And flying through the skies were Maximal fliers coming in along with the rising sun. Then a strange Cybertronian alter was seen on a land mark shape like a three-edge triangle. As it was moving upwards, seen in the center was Dinobot's body as it was position and clutch his Rotating Tail Sword in his hands. Blue mist was coming off from beneath the tech alter as the Transformers' body slowly rotates around it. Then nearby were other Maximals working around some set controls that function the alter. Near some seat setups were the Lyoko Warriors, New Warriors, Professor Sumdac, Mr. Belpois, even the younger children of Hiroki, Johnny, Amelia, and Tamiya. They were all dress in black outfits which one sees when going to a funeral, even Artemis activated her human-like disguise form to wear a black dress as the other girls.
"Sis, is Dinobot really…gone?" Hirokiasked in wishing this was not true, that they lost a good friend.
"Yes Hirko, he is…he fought hard…to save all of us." Yumi kneels down to hug her little brother, knowing the truth is a hard thing to accept.
"I'm gonna miss him, he might have been scary but…he seem real good." Tamiya softly stated from remembering how they first meant Dinobot, scary until they got to know the guy.
"Yeah, I'll never forget the first time we saw him. We nearly scream our heads off." Amelia sheepishly smile in remembering such an embarrassing story.
"I sure was surprise, but he seem like a cool bot. Still, things won't be the same without him." Johnny smiled from remembering how Dinobot was like a tough guy who one doesn't mess with.
"Yeah, this here's the hard truth I think we don't want. But, he fought till the end for our sake and the future." William nods to firmly confirm that Dinobot lived his life the way he always choose to be.
"Look! Here they come!" Odd points above in the skies.
"Foooowvhm…." Soon those that fly had flown overhead of this ceremony to honor the departed. A special Cybertronian Commemoration to the brave, the valiant, and the heroic efforts of one that was both a soldier and a warrior when on the field of combat during the battle of the Beast Wars.
"Take a close look my dear girls. This action these bots are performing, is very much the same as how brave military men honor the valiant heroes during war." Issac Sumdac explained this as he hugs his girls in watching the special air show.
"It's really something daddy, it looks…really beautiful." Sora responds to having seen such a sight happening to take one's breath away.
"Yeah, it sure is…" Sara silently nods her head that this sight, can ease one's burdens somewhat.
"What's gonna happen now?" Mr. Belpois rest his hand on his son's shoulder of what happens next here.
"Now comes something humans do as well dad, rather then bury the body in the ground, they're…um…" Jeremie was a bit hesitant in his words, unsure if he should say them.
"You don't have to say son, I know…" Mr. Belpois kneels down to hug his son from understanding full well what's gonna happen.
Then without warning, the blue mist was doing something to Dinobot's remains, they began to slowly change and emit energy particles. "Frusvhmmm-FRUssshmm…." A sizzling motion happened before in a bright flash, Dinobot's body had been transform into yellow energy particles that scatter and spread across the sky horizon. To everyone that was watching this, it was like seeing the beauty of the Transformer body become free and fly off into outer space.
"Would'cha look at that?" Tytree replied amazed by the particles flying into the air.
"There he goes…" Ulrich muttered softly in seeing what was Dinobot's remains take to the skies.
"Aye, now Dinobot is truly one with the wind." Jin nods in sensing the bot has taken to the winds to be free.
"You know, I think he feel honor we do all this for him. So don't ever forget this Aelita…" Axel kneels down to pep-talk the pink haired girl who seem a little sad. "Got Em' Memorized?" He did his signature tap to the forehead to tell Aelita, don't ever forget.
"Yes…I will…" Aelita nods her head silently while watching this play out, never losing track of it and keep it to memory.
Soon the energy sparkle particles were gone, the blue mist began to fade out, the ceremony commemorated to Dinobot's passing had concluded. The music began to fade as the ceremony was over, and everyone present would forever remember their dear comrade and friend:
-Dinobot-
