Previously on Mr. Peabody and Sherman: Revenge of the Fallen

Penny tries to connect to Sherman's Skype account so they can have a webchat date. However, he fails to connect as Sherman, dragged along by Hayden and Isaac head to a nearby frat party. There, the girl of Hayden and Issac's dreams, Felicia Fuentes, starts flirting with Sherman, much to the latter's disapproval. Bumblebee interrupts the party and scoops up Sherman, but Felicia tags along for the ride. She is eventually driven away as Bumblebee's antics anger her to leave. However, Sherman wants to know what the heck is Bumblebee doing here.

Chapter 13: He Has Returned


Sherman and Bumblebee ride along the small college town before arriving at a cemetary. There Sherman sees Optimus Prime hiding behind a large tomb. He sighs knowing this is a problem that somehow had him involved.

Bumblebee parks near the curb and Sherman exits to question the Autobot commander.

Sherman: Seriously? Not one day in college and you snatch me I'm up already.

Optimus Prime looks down at Sherman as he tries to explain their appearance.

Optimus Prime: I'm sorry Sherman. But there has been a situation.

Sherman: What situation?

Optimus Prime: The last fragment of the AllSpark was stolen.

Sherman: you mean... the Decepticons stole it.

Optimus Prime: Perhaps. It was placed under human protection at the request of your government. But now we need your help.

Sherman: Why?

Optimus Prime kneels down as he continues to talk to the yoiung man.

Optimus Prime: Because your leaders now believe the Autobot have brought vengeance to your planet. Perhaps they are right. That is why they must be reminded of a human who trusts us.

Sherman shakes his head believing there's nothing a human like himself can do.

Sherman: This isn't my war.

Optimus Prime: No it is not. But I fear it soon will be.

He looks out away from Sherman, fearing for the worst for Earth and the human race.

Optimus Prime: Earth must not suffer the same fate as Cybertron. Whole generations will be lost if it does.

At this point Optimus starts to recall the war back in Cybertron, thousands of years ago. Cybertron was in disarray and desolate. Soldiers fighting against the Decepticons perish in battle. Too many casualties and destruction caused Cybertron to fall, leaving it unable to sustain life. Optimus fears greater casualties will happen on Earth.

Sherman only looks down. He wants to help Optimus and the Autobots. But what can he do? He's just a kid, and he's only one person.

Sherman: I'm sorry... I can't help. I want to... I really do. But I'm not an ambassador to the Autobots. I'm just a normal kid with normal problems. My place has to be here.

He looks back at Bumblebee, still in his vehicle mode before looking back at Optimus Prime.

Sherman: I'm sorry Optimus. I... I really am.

He starts to walk away and goes back into Bumblebee.

Sherman: Take me back, Bee.

Optimus Prime: Sherman. Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing.

Sherman lowers one of the windows to talk to Prime one last time.

Sherman: That may be, but I'm just a kid, and you're Optimus Prime. Even if I can help, you and the Autobots don't need me.

He closes the window as Bumblebee drives him away from the cemetary, leaving Optimus Prime alone. He watches the yellow Camaro drive away with a disappointed look.

Optimus Prime: We do. More than you know.


North Atlantic-07:13 Hours

A large freight ship sails along the northern Atlantic Ocean. It carries carries a few construction vehicles as well as some metal crates carrying it to its destination. Unbeknownst to the humans in the ship they're carrying along a few unexpected guests as the construction vehicles appear to bear Decepticons.

Without any detection, a large chunk of metal crashes on the ships loading deck where a cement truck, a dump truck, a crane, and a badly damaged bulldozer. The metal chunk transforms into Ravage who presents the stolen AllSpark shard in a metal container on his back to the construction vehicles. They all hum as they begin to transform into their robot modes, revealing themselves to be part of a Decepticons squadron known as the Constructicons.

Mixmaster, the cement mixer. Hightower, the crane. Long Haul, the dump truck. And Scrapmetal, the bulldozer, all quickly transform as they decent the Laurentian Abyss below them. With no time to lose, they all jump in the blue waters belowm

Down in the U.S.S. Topeka military submarine, the soldiers below detect the presence of a few artificial life signals through their radar. The soldiers go to inform their chief of this mysterious happenstance.

Soldier: Uh sir. You need to take a look at this...

Chief: What is it son?

He shows the leader the radar where four large life signature and one little one are heading toward the waters below.

Chief: Is this what I think it is?

Soldiers I think it is...

Chief: All soldiers. Man your battle stations. We're going down.

All soldiers inside the sub all take their positions as the dive down the Laurentian Abyss.

The Constructicons continue to dive below to the deepest parts of planet Earth. They turn on their searchlights as they walk around the ground looking for something. Their search however proves to be a success as the Constructicons have found a large shiny rock they shine their lights at it where a few octopuses on the rock get startles and swim away. They get closer to show its not ordinary rock, for on the sea floor, with algae and barnacles festering around it and starfish crawling around it was the face of none other than their deactivated leader, Lord Megatron.

Ravage also lands beside Megatron's body as he releases yet another minibot from inside himself, a tiny doctor type robot named Scalpel. He crawls towards Megatrons chest with his blade like limbs as he examines the damage of his fallen leader.

Scalpel: Need parts!

He looks arounf himself before taking a good luck at the scrappy lookikng Scrapmetal.

Scalpel: Kill ze little one!

Scrapmetal: Huh?!

Before trying to reason, both Long Haul and Mixmaster grab ahold of Scrapmetal and start beating the poor Constructicon to death. Afterwards the two larger Constructicons tear apart his limbs and toss them to Hightower who begins to fill out the damaged areas of megatron with the 'newly acquired spare parts'.

As the rest of the Constructicons finish their jobs, Scalpel takes the AllSpark shard from Ravage and aims at Megatron's chest.

Scalpel: Ze shard will create Energon!

Scalpel furiousmy jams the AllSpark shard into Megatron's chest, causing the body to jitter as a bright blue light shines from within. The rusted and busted body starts to shake as Megatron's eyes flicker back on with evil red lights.

All the Constructicons swim away as Megatron slowly wakes up and stands up. He growls a menacing growl as he swims back up along with the Constructicons.


Back in the U.S.S. Topeka, the sub goes down to investigate the abnormal activity as they detect another life signature. This time it's more massive than the other life signatures they detected before

Soldier: Sir, there's a sixth life signal that just appeared.

Chief: What?!

Soldier: Its heading back to the surface! It's right underneath us!

Chief: Brace for impact!


Megatron continues to swim back up, seeing the light grow brigghter and brighter with every racing second. He sees the incoming descending submarine and aims toward it. He inches closer before slamming into the sub, causing an explosion, killing most of the the crew and leave behind a very small number of critically injured soldiers.

Megatron flies past the wreckage and splashes out of the ocean, along with the Constructicons. At this point, the Constructicons fly away from Megatron to go their separate paths for the moment as they fly toward dry land.

As for Megatron, he continues to fly as he transforms into his Cybrrtronian jet and flies off into the deep regions of space.


Several light years later...

Megatron continues to fly into space before reachign the planet Saturn and looks at one of the planet's many moons. He suddenly sees the moon hes looking for and flies in. As for within the dark and cold and desolate moon is a makeshift Decepticon base. He transforms again and lands on his feet as he makes it to a chamber ehere several purple goo like sacks surround the room. He feels another prescense near, and calls him out with his first words since his reactivation.

Megatron: Starscream! I'm back!

A gasp can be heard as another Decepticon, and Megatron's cowardmy second-in-command, Starscream walk forward, nervously.

Starscream: Lord Megatron?! Oh thank Primus! I was so relieved to hear of your... resurrection.

He bows to his revived commander, hoping nothing can go wrong. However, furiously, Megatron grabs Stsrscreams head and brings their faces close as he looks at him with an incredibly deadly look.

Megatron: You left me to DIE on that miserable, insect planet!

Starscream escape his clutches as he tries to reason his retreat.

Starscream: Only, to help spawn a new army in your absence. The Fallen decrees it. Besides with you gone. Someone had to take command.

Megatron grabs his shoulders and slams him to the wall where several purple Energon sacks, containing hatchlings of Starscream's army, causing him to panic

Megatron: Pathetic!

Starscream: Careful! These hatchlings are very fragile!

Megatron: You should know, that even in death there is no command but mine!

The building pressure from Megatron's push causes one of the sacks to prematurely hatch, releasing a slimy half done hatching. He slithered to the floor before he starts to whine.

Having enough of Starscream, he let's go of him and walks off as he tends to the fallen hatchling.

Megatron enters a room where it's almost dark and dimly inside. He sees an ancient Cybertronian with red eyes and fishbone like neck. He coughs as he looks at Megatron with fading red eyes. Megatron hows to him and addresses him.

Megatron: The Fallen, my master. I have failed you on Earth. The AllSpark is destroyed. And without it. Our race will surely perish.

The old robot, known as The Fallen clears his voice pipes as he addresses his disciple.

The Fallen: Oh, you have much to learn my disciple. The Cube was merely a vessel. It's knowledge, it's power can never be destroyed... only transform.

Megatron was intrigued by what his master was saying.

Megatron: What?! But how is that possible?!

The Fallen: The knowledge of the cube has been absorbed. By the human child. The key to save our race now lies within his mind.

Megatron: Well then. Let me rip the flesh from his bones to get it.

The Fallen: And you will, my apprentice. In due time.

He looks away and stared deeper into the cold void of space.

The Fallen: for millennia, I have dreamed of one day going back to that... wretched.. planet. Where I was betrayed by those I called my brothers. The Thirteen Original Primes.

He sneers at the thought of once becoming a part of the Thirteen Original Primes but ended up having then turn their backs on him in the past.

The Fallen: Only a Prime can defeat me. And now... only one remains...

Megatron looks at him, knowing the Prime in question.

Megatron: Optimus! He protects the boy...

The Fallen: Then the boy will lead him to us. And revenge shall soon be mine.

The two share a menacing laugh as they begin to hatch their devious scheme. Starscream walks in holding the premature hatching, now dead and dangling from his grip. He sets it to the ground.

Starscream: The boy will not escape us. He is in our sights . But we have to get him quick, because without him, we are without Energon, and without Energon, the hatchlings will just keep dying.


To be Continued...

A/N: Okay, I know what you're thinking if you read the previous installment.

'Why was an AllSpark fragment the only way to revive Megatron if it was the same thing that killed him in the first place?'

For being awesome at explosions, which is his ONLY filmmaking skill, Michael Bay is not very good at telling stories. Even I was confused the first time seeing this. But I think I have a theory that makes this convoluted confusion make sense. Probably only one shard while still very powerful, is enough to grant life to any Transformer, since it does contain power to create life. But maybe Megatron died at the hands of the AllSpark because there's too much power in the Cube as opposed to one single shard.

Even though, this idea still makes no damn sense.

Anyway, yeah, Megatron has returned as we get to see more of The Fallen. Now they're going to hunt for Sherman since his brain contains knowledge previously in the AllSpark, as well as an effort to lure Optimus Prime to his downfall. How will this go?

Find out next time!
