Pokemon Prime

Darkest Hour

Cybertron, The Omega Lock

"This is not how I wanted to spent my first trip to Cybertron." Misty said.

"Starscream." Megatron said, signaling him.

Starscream lifted his pod containing Ash, Dawn, Gabby, Pikachu, and Piplup. "Hey, Ash, how about letting your daughter come out and play." He scratched the glass.

Ash stood in front of Gabby. "Leave her out of this. If anyone is going to die, it's gonna be me."

"Ash, what are doing?" Dawn asked.

"The Autobots were prepared to sacrifice themselves for my planet. I'll do the same for theirs."

"Me, too." Brock said.

"So would I." May said. Max gulped nervously at his sister's words.

"Perhaps we should oblige them." Megatron said.

"If my decision dooms the future of the Autobot cause on Cybertron so be it, but I will never forsake our human and Pokemon allies." Optimus said, planting his Star Saber to the ground. He took ten steps back.

One-by-one, the Autobots tossed their relics by the Star Saber.

"Now if you please, the Omega Keys. One at a time." Megatron demanded.

Knock Out took a step forward. He held the pod containing Misty and Brock. "You first, 'Jack-Rabbit'."

Wheeljack looked at Optimus, who signaled him to go. Wheeljack and Knock Out met each other half ways. "If I find out Misty or Brock were harm during capture, I'll make you eat this Key." He slammed the Key in Knock Out's hand.

"You're welcome." Knock Out handed the pod over to Wheeljack.

"Get scrapped!" Misty threatened Knock Out.

"You proved your point, Misty." Brock said.

Wheeljack walked back to the team with the pod in hand.

Next, Soundwave and Smokescreen met half ways. Soundwave had the pod containing May, Max, and Iris. "Why is it always the quiet ones?" Smokescreen asked.

Soundwave said nothing.

"Right, you're one of those." Smokescreen handed over the Key to Soundwave and he handed the pod to Smokescreen. He walks back and looks at the pod. "You alright in there?"

"Right as rain." May replied.

"But do you always have to treat every situation like a kid, Smokescreen?" Iris asked.

"The family in this pod are very interesting, Optimus. If Ash was important enough to be entrusted with the Matrix of Leadership and his daughter, Gabby, who has Dark Energon in her DNA, makes them worth two Omega Keys." Megatron said.

Optimus signaled Arcee and Cliffjumper to make the trade. They met Starscream half ways. Starscream 'gently' placed the pod to the ground. "No tricks." Starscream readied his arm missiles. "The Keys if you please." He then opened his hands.

Arcee and Cliffjumper handed the Keys over. They both carried the pod. Before they moved back to the team, the Decepticon Space Bridge opened. Vehicons swarm out from it and surrounded the Autobots.

Autobot Base

Ratchet wait to receive word from Prime until he got a call. "Optimus? Were you successful?"

Pallet Town, Delia's house

"Ratchet, it's Delia Ketchum. How are you?" Delia asked.

"Busy, Miss Ketchum. I'm expecting urgent news from the Autobots." Ratchet replied.

"Oh, is Ash, Dawn, and Gabby with them?"

"No. Why?"

"I went to their house to give them some fresh tomatoes that I grew, but they weren't home. And neither Ash or Dawn have been returning my calls."

Autobot Base

"I will have them contact you immediately should I hear from them." Ratchet assures her.

Delia's house

"Now if you'll excuse me. I must keep the com-lines clear." Ratchet hung up.

"Ratchet? Hello?"

The Omega Lock

"Now bare witness as a new ear of dawns on Cybertron." Megatron said, inserting one Omega Key in the Lock. Knock Out, Soundwave, and Starscream followed his lead. Then the Lock projected a holographic control. "Behold, the Age of the Decepticons!"

Megatron activated the Omega Lock. It send out a beam of pure energy at a crumbled building. Within a minute, the building cyberformed back to its original state.

"By the AllSpark." Optimus said.

*No way.* Bumblebee said.

"Instant home makeover." May said.

"Shiny." Knock said, hypnotized.

"You have what you want, Megatron. This conflict is between Autobots and Decepticons. Allow me to return our allies to earth." Optimus said.

"Oh, I wouldn't recommend it. They'll be far safer here." Megatron said. "Is the Space Bridge locked on target?"

"Per your instructions, Lord Megatron." Starscream said.

"Excellent. Why rule only one world, when I can rule two?"

The Decepticon Space Bridge appeared right above the Omega Lock ring. Megatron pressed a button. The Omega Lock then fired a beam of pure energy through the vortex.

"No." Optimus said.

Earth's orbit

The Space Bridge activated and the beam was in Earth's path.

Delia's house

Delia tried to attempt to call Dawn, but a sudden earthquake startled her.

"Mr. Mime!" Mimey shouted.

"What is is it, Mimey?" She ran outside and gasped, dropping her cell phone.

They saw a beam of energy being fired down from a far distance.

Autobot Base

"Optimus, do you read? An unknown energy spike in earth's atmosphere is crashing all my systems. Please tell me this is related to the activation of the Omega Lock." Ratchet said.

The Omega Lock

"If the Omega Lock can restore Cybertron, it'll do the same to earth, right?" May asked.

"No. It will cyberform your planet in favor of it's new Matrix. Destroying all indigenous life in the process." Optimus said.

"Such raw power. What shall I call my new domain? New Kaon? Or perhaps Gilded Earth" Megatron gloated.

Optimus looked at the humans protesting against Megaton's actions. He looks back at Megaton, who laughed maniacally. Fueled by rage, Optimus activated his Energon sword and sliced the Vehicon in front of him. He sprints for the Star Saber and slices three Vehicons with one swing.

Megatron pulled out his Dark Saber and charged for Optimus. They clashed Sabers, creating a sphere of mixed energy. As they were gonna clash Sabers again, Optimus swiftly slices Megatron's Prime arm. Giving him enormous amount of pain. The arm and Dark Saber fell tho the ground. The Dark Saber's glow disappeared.

Optimus charged for the Omega Lock. Soundwave and Knock Out fired at him. He used the Star Saber to deflect each blast. Starscream fired a missile at him. He pivoted to the right and jumped on Starscream's face. He then sliced the Omega Lock control and destroyed it. Creating a big explosion.

Earth

The beam of pure energy then disappeared.

Autobot Base

Ratchet's systems finally came back online. "Optimus, can you read?"

"Ratchet, please open the Space Bridge." Optimus sadly replied.

The Omega Lock

The whole place was in fiery ruins. The Autobot Space Bridge opened and the team quickly ran through it. Mindwipe attempted to stop them, but Deoxys used Shadow Ball on him.

Starscream, Soundwave and Knock Out recovered and saw the aftermath.

"I guess we should cancel the welcome home party." Knock Out said.

Starscream angrily punched Knock Out. "Attend to our Master. He requires medical attention."

Knock Out rushes to Megatron.

Starscream notices the Autobot Space Bridge closed. "Prime! You will pay for dooming Cybertron to remain a lifeless husk!"

Megatron began to laugh wickedly. "They can run, but they can never again run home."

Autobot Base

Ratchet saw the team arriving. He also notice who were in the pods. "The humans? What happened?"

The team opened the pods and freed their friends. No one dared to answer Ratchet's question.

"Somebody say something." Ratchet said.

"Optimus... destroyed the Omega Lock." Bulkhead said.

"What?! You did-"

"What was necessary. There was no time for a prolonged battle. Not while earth in emanate danger." Optimus said.

"So you destroyed the only device in any universe capable of restoring our home? Optimus... we needed that."

"You weren't there, Doc, and it's not your place to second guess a battlefield decision." Smokescreen said.

"IT MOST CERTAINLY IS! There had to be another way!"

"It wasn't that simple, Ratchet." Brock argued.

"Megatron was using the Omega Lock to destroy the earth." Dawn said.

"Optimus saved our planet!" May shouted.

"WHAT ABOUT OUR PLANET! All of our struggles, Energon spilled, and countless sacrifices for nothing!"

"Right decision or wrong, what's done is done!" Cliffjumper shouted.

"But we have another problem here on this world. The Decepticons just changed the rules by putting our friends in danger." Arcee said.

They received a sudden message from Agent Jenny. "Prime! The United Nations are preparing to mobilize their military branches here in Kanto! I need to know what we're dealing with here!"

"To what do you refer, Agent Jenny?" Optimus asked.

"Maybe you should step outside and see for yourself."

"Ratchet, watch the humans."

The Autobots take the supreme elevator to reach the peaks of Mt. Moon. In the center of Route 4 was a huge Cybertronian fortress. Agent Jenny landed her helicopter and she ran up to Optimus.

"Megatron has managed to accomplish the first phase of his cyberforming of earth. The construction of his fortress." Optimus said.

"Near Mt. Moon. I don't get it? I had both Pewter and Cerulean City evacuated, why here?" Agent Jenny asked.

*Look!* bumblebee shouted. He pointed to the Nemesis flying towards Mt. Moon.

"Because the Decepticons have discovered the location of our Base." Optimus said.

The Nemesis

On top of the ship, Megatrona announces to the Decepticons. "Our opportunity to revive Cybertron has been lost, due to the treachery of Optimus Prime. But from our fortress of New Kaon, we will instead seize control of THIS world! Decepticons! Transform andrise up!"

"I thought he'd never ask!" Starscream shouted. He and and a fleet of chrome silver Vehicons transformed into their jet modes and took flight. "Come, my armada! Attack! Attack! Attack!"

Peaks of Mt. Moon

They unleash a barrage of fire at the Autobots. Deoxys uses Barrier to shield the Autobots as they returned fire. Following up from the the jet Vehicons was a swarm of Insecticons. They shattered Deoxys Barrier and began to crawl over Mt. Moon.

The Autobots melee, fired at the Insecticon off the mountain. Optimus swung the Star Saber and destroyed whatever Insecticons were still coming at them. He noticed Starscream and his armada circling around for another run.

"Autobots, into the Base!" Optimus ordered.

As they were going, Arcee noticed Jenny going in her helicopter and Deoxys holding its ground.

"Jenny, what are you doing?" Arcee asked.

"My job, Drama-bot Queen!" Jenny replied.

She and Deoxys took off into the air while the Autobots return back inside the Base. Jenny fires at the Decepticons, but they evaded and just continued to attack the Base.

However, Deoxys was suddenly struck by Blackout. Blackout used Flamethrower on Deoxys, but quickly used Reflet to shield against the flames. Suddenly Mindwipe appeared and used Shadow Claw.

Autobot Base

The whole interior began to shake as the barrage continued.

"What's happening?" Ash asked. He and Dawn were covering Gabby from the dusty debris falling.

The Autobots returned at that moment.

"What is going on out there?" Ratchet asked.

"The Decepticons have invaded Kanto." Optimus replied.

"And Jenny and Deoxys think they can hod them off." Arcee added.

"What?!" Brock asked. "Hang on, Agent Jenny! You're knight in shiny armor will-"

Iris and Max pulled Brock's ears. "You're starting to sound like a kid." They said in unison.

Outside

Deoxys use Psycho Boost at Mindwipe. Then Deoxys and Blackout locked each other in a death grip as they plummet each other down to the ground.

At the last moment Mindwipe appeared again and used Shadow Ball hitting Deoxys in the back. Allowing Blackout to use Inferno on Deoxys and them used Seismic Toss.

Blackout and Mindwipe went to the mouth of the crater. When the dust cleared, all they saw was a glowing green rock. Then the glowing faded and the rock turned into a dull grey color.

Agent Jenny was starting to get over powered, she quickly contacted fro reinforcements. "Special Agent Jenny to Air Defense Command. I need immediate combat support." A Vehicon blasted the side of her helicopter. Three Insecticons blocked her path. "Come on, Air Command."

They were about to shot at her, but blaster fire gunned the three bugs out of the sky.

"Well, I'll be a Cresselia at a full moon."

From the sky above, the Lightning Bolt appeared and shot down the Vehicons behind Jenny.

Autobot Base

"Prime, reinforcements just arrived." Jenny said.

Optimus protested. "Agent Jenny, your military cannot prevail against-"

"You didn't think I was gonna let Team Prime have all the fun, did you?" Ultra Magnus asked.

"Ha, ha, ha! It's Magnus!" Bulkhead shouted.

He's gonna wreck some Decepticreeps." Wheeljack said.

Outside

Ultra Magnus was blasting down every Decepticon in his path.

Autobot Base

"Ultra Magnus?" Ratchet asked. "But how did you-"

"I picked up a strange energy surge. Hope you don't mind the company." Magnus replied.

"No, it's just that after everything, well..."

The Lighting Bolt

"We're still on the same team, Doc. Always will be." Magnus replied.

Outside

Magnus was continuing his warpath.

Autobot Base

"Ratchet, prepare to Bridge everyone out of here." Optimus said.

"We're abandoning the Base?" Ratchet asked.

"The Base is lost. Ultra Magnus, Agent Jenny, and Deoxys can only buy us enough time to escape. Bumblebee, Max, you'll depart be the first."

*Copy that.* Bumblebee said.

"You're splitting us up?" Max asked.

"Shouldn't we just stick together?" May asked.

"All for one and one for all?" Gabby asked.

"We must to avoid capture until we can regroup and launch a counterattack. Survival is our only priority now." Optimus said.

Outside

Jenny had an Insecticon chasing after her. She noticed a Vehicon heading her way. So she uses the smoke from her helicopter to blind the bug. She pulled out. The Insecticon and the Vehicon crashed into each other in the smoke.

"The day I'm out-flown by a bunch of toasters is the day I-" Jenny then noticed the Nemesis was making its way above Mt. Moon.

Autobot Base

Bumblebee transformed into his Camaro mode. *Max, we gotta get out of here!*

Before Max did go, he went up to Iris. "It might be a long time since we'll see each other. So I better do this or I'll regret it for the rest of my life." Max leaned in and kissed Iris on the lips. He broke the kiss. "Bye."

"Bye." Iris said.

Max hopped in Bumblebee and they drove through the Ground Bridge.

Ratchet rested the Ground Bridge to another location and Bulkhead, in his ATV pickup truckmode, with May inside went through.

Ash and Pikachu hopped on Arcee, in her motorcycle mode, and went through the Ground Bridge to an unknown location. Then Cliffjumper, in his Dodge Challenger mode, Dawn, Gabby, and Piplup went to another location.

Route 3

Delia was driving to the Base when she saw what was happening. A Vehicon swooped in from behind and fired at her. The last shots caused her to swerve and hit the brakes.

The Vehicon transformed and approached her. He readied his blaster. In panic, Delia honked her horn.

Jenny heard the horn and spotted Delia. "Miss Ketchum? Great." She swoops in and shoots the Vehicon in the back.

The Vehicon fell on top of the car dead. Delia got off and saw Jenny landing near her. She rushes to get aboard.

Meanwhile, the last defense against the Decepticon attack was Ultra Magnus. Starscream was right behind him.

"You're scrapped." Starscream said, as he fired two missiles at him.

Magnus steered the Lightning Bolt in a barrel roll and even banked to the left and the right. All it did was giving him another few minutes. The missiles struck the Lightning Bolt. The ship crashed somewhere in the woods nearby.

"And that's how you wreck a Wrecker!" Starscream bragged.

Autobot Base

Smokescreen saluted to Optimus. He then transformed into his Mazda Furai mode and Iris went in. Smokescreen drove through the Ground Bridge to an unknown location.

The shakes and rumble grew worse. Ratchet changed the controls to another location.

"What about you?" Ratchet asked.

"I will ensure that the Decepticons cannot follow." Optimus replied.

"What?" Brock asked. "But, Optimus, you-"

"You and Ratchet are partners. You must stick together."

Ratchet and Brock stood in front of the Ground Bridge. "I... never imagined it would end like this." Ratchet said. He transformed into his ambulance mode. Brock hopped in and Ratchet drove through the vortex.

"Neither did I, old friend."

Outside

The Nemesis readied its colossal cannon as it was position above Mt. Moon. The weapon began to charge up. Both Jenny and Delia helplessly watched from the helicopter.

Autobot Base

Optimus took the Star Saber and destroyed the Ground Bridge controls.

Outside

The Nemesis fired the colossal cannon and destroyed all of Mt. Moon. Creating a massive fiery explosion. When the dust cleared, Mt. Moon was level into a fiery ruin.

"No." Delia said.

Jenny looked away from being distraught.

Starscream flew down to the ruin. Megatron transformed into his Cybertronian jet mode and followed him.

Autobot Base ruins

They transformed back to their robotic forms and landed right on the Autobot symbol.

"This is the place alright." Starscream said.

"This was the place." Megatron corrected.

"United we stand, divided they fall."

Meanwhile, in a pile of burning ruble not far away was Optimus' arm stuck out.

To be continued on "Pokemon Prime: Beast Hunters" coming in 2013.
