The Omega Trilogy
Episode 4: The Third Factor
The Maximals were in the brig.
Hunt Convoy walked the halls of his warship. He was sfae in the knowledge that the renegades were secure and had no chnace of escape but that did little to alliviate his troubled mind.
Questions buzzed around the Maximal Commander's head; where were the Council Member's stasis pods, how had his brother died on this mudball?
He arrived at the bridge to find Seer at the controls going over schemtics.
“Tell me old friend what do you see?”
He asked the strange mystic. The bird bot stopped and his eyes clouded over as if in trance before responding.
”I see a clouded path ahead for us, and especially you Commander. Not all are and is as it seems...”
“... Bring me Iceblade! “ Hunt said turning to the monitorTwo of Hunt’s troops entered the cell area, one was huge and many of the Maximals recognised him as the decorated hero Ironhide. By his side was a small Maximal with reptilian features and a large shell on his back.
They took Iceblade from the cell to see Hunt in his private command room. He demanded to know about his brother’s death from the engineer. Iceblade responded in kind and wanted to know why they were being held captive when there was a Predacon force on the loose. Hunt was disgusted with the Maximal, in his eyes they had failed to protect the Councillors or even retrieve them, had been involved in the death of a Convoy and were harbouring an escaped murdered in Cutter.
After a heated exchange of words he dismissed Iceblade back to his cell.
Meanwhile at the Predacon base Triton was overseeing the last of the reparations to fix the damage done by the techno-organic beasts. A long range scanner was being installed and the energon dampening barrier was up to protect those with non-transmetal bodies. Hellfire had been repaired and re-instated after his punishment for failing to carry out orders and congregated with the rest of the Predacons to be addressed by their leader. He outlined his plan to seize the Maximal Warship so they could leave the planet and continue with their grander mission of Predacon liberation. With war in mind the group set out leaving the wheelchair bound Venom behind to guard the base.
Back at the Maximal ship Lion7 and the others tried desperately to free themselves but to no avail. To make matters worse Cutter seemed to be hiding something as his very organics were decaying.
Outside something was moving in the bushes, watching the ship for signs of life.
Snap had snuck back in as night fell and told the Renegade Maximals he would try and speak to the Commander to get them moved to a lower security area.
Two new stasis pods crashed through the atmosphere undetected and opened. One contained the Predacon Asuus, the other the Maximal Bane. After a brief exchange Bane escaped and headed northwards.
By daybreak the Predacons had arrived in the tropical jungles and Sting scouted ahead to see if the ship had any active defences. He tested the ships perimeter and found nothing until stumbling across some beast in the bushes that savaged him. Drawn out by the commotion GigaShark and Ironhide investigated but found nothing, Sting had fled and the beast had disappeared.
Bane arrived at the ship and introduced himself to the guards but was instantly branded a Renegade and thrown in with the others in the brig .
Cutter’s condition continued to deteriorate as whatever was happening to him speeded up. Some of the Renegades asked for medical attention for him but their pleas fell on deaf ears, they we e happy for the killer to rot.
After patching Sting up enough to fight the Predacons led by Triton and his components charged for the assault (much to the dismay of some of the more tactically minded members of the group). The attack rocked even the mighty warship as the Predacon unleashed their combined firepower.
Hunt’s forces responded in kind and headed out to meet them head on.
Meanwhile in the ship the shadowy beasts moved through the corridors evading detection until it found the cell deck and revealed himself. Shadow Wolf was alive and in a new upgraded body!
Releasing his friends and explaining that Cutter was turning transmetal like him they joined the battle with earnest.
Triton revealed that his upgraded body and components wasn’t the only extent of his new power when he merged with them to become a giant war machine called Devil Triton. The battle continued and was joined by Asuus who targeted Bane, the Maximal she had encountered earlier.
Inside the ship Lion7 and Sureshot searched for the engine room to stop the ship leaving should it try to. They were successful and blew out some major guidance controls.
Shadow Wolf, Iceblade and Hunt Convoy all teamed up against the massive Devil Triton. Their combined assaults rocked the Predacon but they received some serious damage for their troubles.
Snap blasted Megatron but was taken out by the Predacon Sting and sent flying into the jungle some distance away by the airborne Pred.
Cutter’s skin had almost entirely fallen away now revealing a shiny metal body underneath. He had kept airborne to keep out of the battle but now joined it if only to test out his new abilities and power, flying down and transforming to what resembled a apc, firing ast the Predacons.
Hunt Convoy saw the way the battle was going for his forces and called the retreat, they boarded the ship and it went to take off but the engine blew out causing it to de-stabilise. Seer was able to get it under control and it began to rise as Sureshot and Lion7 escaped through a cargo hatch.
Seeing the ship leave Triton knew the day was lost, he disengaged into his component parts but not before transforming to turtle mode and leaving a parting shot. He fired both of his pom pom cannons at Sureshot, obliterating the Maximal from the sky.
Before any retribution could be gained he was gone into the jungle…
