Aligatron stood beside Megatron as they awaited Informer's return. The rest of the Predacons tried their best to interact with the Lazerbeasts, with limited success. In the awkward silence, both groups continually glanced back at their leaders, as if expecting the two to go at each other any moment. Things had been tense in the moments following the transcreatures' creation. It was not certain as to whether or not Megatron's overambition would ignite the fire, or Aligatron's instinctive bloodlust. Megatron was the first to speak.
"An excellent idea Aligatron, I would never have thought to combine the beasts with the Maximal protoforms, no. But tell me, how did you know the transcreatures wouldn't turn on us?"
"In addition to being configured as Predacons by your subserviants, I know what lies in the souls of beasts. They were taken from their comrades, their bodies twisted into these new shapes. Tell me Megatron, have you any idea how betrayed they must feel? Not a single of their own kind came to rescue them. Not a single Maximal or beast tried to set them free." He smiled as the words formed, feeling the hatred radiating from the atrocities. "To know that your so called friends are only a short distance away and still, they allowed this to happen to you. Oh yes Megatron, I knew they would come to hate, I knew they would be more than willing to decimate anyone in their way. Maximal and Beast alike."
Megatron stroke his chin and looked out at the charred land. "Indeed."

Skyshadow alighted next to the leaders, the soft buzz of his wings halting as his feet touched the ground.
"Megatron, Aligatron, Informer has returned."
"Excellent." Megatron took leave and started forward. Aligatron soon followed after taking a moment to stare at Skyshadow.
"Soon." The ghost beast whispered in a tone audible to only he and the Fuzor. "Very soon."

The group of both Predacon and Lazerbeast parted as the pale yellow Transcreature slithered into their midst. He reared up and was soon approached by Nightmare, the mass of the commanding transcreature dwarfing Informer. Torpedo was at his side, crouched near his right foot. Rabid and Razorthorne soon joined them from an unknown location. It startled the Predacons how quickly they had all converged, as the remaining Transcreatures disappeared from sight the second informer left. They came in silence. It was eerie.
Megatron and Aligatron approached their creations and stood before them.
"Report."
A twinkle in Informer's eye told them almost everything they needed to know. He spoke the broken english in fragments he felt were necessary. Not a sound escaped Informer unless there was a direct need to speak, and even then, not a superfluous word was spoken.
"Maximals recovering slowly. Optimus down, Rhinox recovering, Blackarachnia shaken, Silverbolt in stasis. Remaining, unaccounted for."
"And the Beasts?" Aligatron inquired.
"Hurt in numbers. Jaguar broken bones. Violet Horn internal injuries. Remaining damaged in battle."
He finished and looked at them, nothing more to say. Megatron boke the silence and tapped his claws together.
"Well then," he turned to Aligatron. "It would seem this is the moment we've all been waiting for, yes."
"Yes." Aligatron hailed his Lazerbeasts, who came to him immediately. They drew their weapons and stood at the ready.
"Predacons! Megatron commanded, "Terrorize!" In a chorus of hisses and snarls, megatron's entire army reverted to their beast modes and took their respective places beside him. Before both factions stood the transcreatures, nightmare in the forefront.
"Now it starts." Nightmare thundered, his voice unable to do anything else.

Jaguar walked out of Rhinox's lab, which came as a big surprise to the remaining beasts.
"Hey," goldar patted his brother on the shoulder. "I thought you had a busted limb."
"I did." Jaguar tapped his leg, producing a metallic clang as he did so. "Rhinox has some amazing stuff in that lab of his. This allows me to walk and do all the other fun stuff I normally do, but the cast is healing my injuries at an advanced rate. Same thin for my arm." He raised his arm for the others to see. It was a pale gray, but as were all the casts Rhinox tried.

Violet Horn exited the lab next, with Rhinox following.
"Tis like I'm a new beast!" Violet Horn raised his arms into the air dramatically, showing of the metal fittings around his ribs and midsection. The gray metal contrasted greatly against his purple armor. Deer Stalker approached his leader without a word and stood by his side.
"Sir, we should think about recovering the other Beasts." He paused a moment, "Now."
Violet Horn nodded in agreement as Optimus, Blackarachnia and Silverbolt exited their CR chambers.
Staring up at his cracked monitor, Rhinox followed a flashing series of dots on the screen with his eyes.
"I don't think we'll have to go find the Preds." The others looked at him. "They're coming here. ALL of them."

The volcano trembled, threatening to become active before its time when the Predacons and Laserbeasts rushed into the small opeing and headed towards the Maximal's new holding. Waiting to greet them stood a unfied front of the beasts and maximals, Optimal Optimus, Power Jaguar, and Violet Horn at the forefront. Megatron landed beside Aligatron and Grotess, a silent glare passing between he and Optimus.
"I'll give you one chance Megatron," Optimus started, "Give this up now and-aaugh!"
The blast from a laser rifle tore through Optimus' forearm. Condorassin stood beside Aligatron, smoking rifle in hand. Aligatron waved his hand in the direction o the Maximals and Beasts.
"Kill them." He said.

No sooned had the words left his mouth the battle began. The opposing sides locked up, tearing into one another with a ferocity they had hitherto never felt before.
Jaguar dodged the wicked claws and teeth of Snapper and Manterror, the Predacons doing everything they could to cut the beast in two. With his spear Jaguar held off manterror's strikes until Snapper lunged at him from behind and clamped on his casted arm. With a growl the two fell to the ground. Manterror stood over the beast and raised his claw high in the air. "Good night beast germ. His deadly claw swung down on an arc, and before he could realize what happened Jaguar forced himself to roll over, turning Snapped in the direction of Manterror's scythe. It shattered snapper's shell and slid halfway through the screaming Predacon's body before stopping. Snapper writhed in agony, his limbs flailing in the air accompanied by a scream until stopping suddenly and hanging limp atop Jaguar. He reached up and grabbed Manterror's buried arm, then slid out from beneath Snapper. With a stiff kick to the throat Manterror was thrust back and the arm Jaguar clutched was ripped from the socket. Manterror had no time to scream, Jabuar ran his spear through his throat before the sound could escape. He fell before the beast, his spark expired and joined the matrix.
Goldar and Cheetor took on Condorassin and Monkey fighter, Cheetor finding it difficult to battle his paired Lazerbeast opponent. Monkey Fighter was silent as always, his movements strong and fast, smashing Cheetor over five times before the Maximal knew what hit him.
"Ow!" he reeled back against a stone wall, Monkey Fighter missing a kick that left a deep print in the stone. Cheetor saw his chance and decked Monkey Fighter squar in the jaw, rocking the ninja's head back. He recovered, nailing Cheetor three more times with a flurry of kicks to the skull. A roundhouse kick to the chest sent Cheetor down again. Goldar dodged the shots fired by Condorassin, the vulture becoming more and more frustrated with each passing second.
"Stupid beast!" he screamed "DIE!!!" Goldar whipped his body from side to sidenarrowly avoiding the blasts as he neared the mad Lazerbeast. Once close enough he withdrew his spiked club and swung at him. Condorassin backed away and kicked the studded weapon from Goldar's hand. A screeching laugh escaped him as he and Goldar watched the weapon fly through the air and disappear below the lava. Goldar's face twisted in an ugly sneer.
"You scum! That was my favorite weapon!" he rushed Condorassin and grabbed the barrel of his gun. Condorassin instinctively fired, the two remained locked in a struggle. Goldar reared back and punched Condorassin straight in his left eye, snatching his gun away with his other hand and raising it above his head like an executiooner. Condorassin looked up in time to see his own weapon swing down and shatter on his skull. He fell, unconscious.
"Nice work." Goldar heard a voice from behind him. He whipped around, the remains of the Lazerbeast weapon dangling from his clenched fist. Cheetor stood before him, Monkey Fighter at his feet. Cheetor smiled and pointed at a smoking blastmark in the back of the Lazerbeast's armor. "You guys nailed him from all the way over there!" he tossed a thumb over his shoulder. Goldar smiled as they both looked down at the Lazerbeast.
Aligatron watched the battle, growing more angered as his Lazerbeasts started to to dwindle in numbers. Only Grotess remained, his battle with Rhinox and Blackarachnia going very much in his favor. Magatron was locked in combat with Primal, neither seeming to gain a significant advantage over the other. He walked into the middle of the battlefield and raised a hand in the air.
"Transcreatures, ARISE!"
At once the fighting stopped as th five creatures emerged. Torpedo rocketed down from the darkness of the ceiling. Rabid and Razorthorne crawled out from the shadows of the base itself. Informer slid out from an impossibley thin crack between two lava worn boulders. The four assembled, he ground beneath them rumbling as Nightmare erupted from below in a spray of rock and dirt. They stared at the Beasts and the Maximals, the malice in their eyes almost a tangible force. Optimus backed away from Megatron as he beheld the ungodly creations.
"What-what are they?"
Deer Stalker regarded the new monstronsities, silently counting them off. "Five new enemies..." he muttered.
Aligatron smiled. "You do not recognize them? Of course not. Allow me to introduce Informer, Torpedo, Razorthorne, Rabid, and Nightmare."
Deer Stalker stared at the Transcreatures a moment longer, when it finally hit him. "By the beast! They're our fallen comrades!"
Jaguar stared wide eyed at the Transcreatures. "No..."
Megatron leapt into the air at that and proclaimed "Oh yes! Transcreatures, DESTROY them!"
The Transcreatures immediately seperated and attacked. Rabid leapt upon Jaguar despite the resistence Goldar and Cheetor attempet to put up. They were swatted aside and ignored. Informet flattened his body to the ground and streaked towards Big Serow. In a second he had the beast wrapped in his coils, squeezing with such force Big Serow could feel his armor begin to dent and warp in on himself. He looked ito Informer's eyes, the creature silent, yet a stromcloud of hostility hovered around him. Big Serow's vision blurred bufore he could manage "Yellow Giraffe, is that you?" The creature hissed back. "No."
Torpedo hovered above Robid at he tried to rip jaguar's head off. He clasped the beast's head between his claws, the wicked nails leaving thin red lines as they peirced Jaguar's face. In desperation Jaguar kicked the monstrocity in the chest but was immediately diveb ombed by Torpedo. She plowed into his back with a screech and threw him to the ground. Jaguar manageded to get to his feet and took a few steps away from her. She advanced. "Target name, Jaguar. Permission to dismember?" Jaguar tilted his head and stared at her. "Permission? Flying Attacker?" Her eyes flashed a moment as she froze in place. Jaguar could see the confusion and frustration on her face.
"Not anymore." She responded plainly, then attacked.
As Death Spider dodged one of Razorthorne's blades he recalled what Deer Stalker said. "By the Beast, they're our fallen comrades!"
He barely blocked another shot from Razortghorne before being struck by the creature's thick leg. The shot propelled Death Spider into the air, he landed with a dull thud of clanking armor. In an instant Razorthorne was upon him. No sooner would Death Spider stand, the Transcreature slammed him back to the ground, a sick game of cat and moouse. Silverbold appeared and attempted to pull the monster away, to no avail. Razorthorne whiped his thick body around suddenly, and Silverbolt found a three foot spike puncturing his mainframe. He fell to the ground clutching the wound. Bloodied and hurt, Death spider pulled himself up to one arm. "Hedgehog, what did they do to you?" The creature halted its assault a second, then slowly lowered its face to Death Spider's.
"It doesn't matter... anymore."
Violet Horn still could not comprehend the speed of Nightmare, the thing was tremendous in size and yet he moved as if his bulk were nothing. Violet Horn was buffetted by a series of strikes to his head, neck, and back bfore he fell, Nightmare alihting upon him instantly. A reflex action, Violet Horn raised his ax skyward and narrowly blocked the transcreture's strike. It's blod red claws forced him down, threatening to cut through the blade itself. Much to Violet Horn'd amazement, Nightmare spoke, a thunderous growl.
"You se what we've become? This is YOUR doing!"
"Forsoothe! How so?!"
"You left us to die."
Violet Horn sneered at the creature. "I once had a follower whose name was Dream Eater. T'was a fine beast, never a dark thought didst he permit in his heart." They remained locked, Nightmare still exerting his incredible force on the axe Violet Horn held in front of him for dear life. "And when he appeared again it was most disheartening, for he twas a shadow of his once noble self." Nightmare's eyes narrowed as Violet Horn continued. "Blackness had seized his heart, and he knew not what it was to be a Battle Beast!"
Nightmare thrust his head back and roared, arms spread, eyes ablaze. It shuddered through the underground volcano. Nightmare thrust his face into Violet Horn's.
"To be a Battle Beast. To be a Battle Beast?!" he screamed "LOOK AT ME!!!!" The volume threatened to burst Violet Horn's eardrums. "You LOOK at me and tell me what I've become!" His eyes flared a deep red hue, "And you tell me who's resposible for it!"
Jaguar's black square flickered a dark red as he faced Rabid again. "I don't want to hurt you Dog Hunter, tell me what happened! I'm your friend, I can help you!" Rabid's mind could barely process the words being spoken to him. They sounded familiar, but he sensed pity in them. He didn't need this beast's pity, he didn't need anyone!" He lunged forward and saw Jaguar's black square intensify to a bright red glow.
"Fire!" A blast of solidified flame leapt from the beast and struck Rabid directly in his face. He fell to the ground with a clatter, grabbing at his singed snout. His upper body glowed with the retained heat. He flailed about on the ground before Jaguar, who felt his heart aching for his poor comrade.
Aligatron saw the incident with Jaguar and decided to not wait for the rest of the Beasts to fight back. He had considered this possibility, and he was prepared for it.
"Transcreatures, MERGE!"
In complete unison the Transcreatures left their opponents and converged in the center of the battlefield. Cheetor and Goldar looked at one another.
"Did he say..."
"...merge?"
The five Transcreatures leapt into the air, a yellow halo of ragged electricity surrounding them. The Battle Beasts and Maximals watched on in horror as the unthinkable happened right before their eyes. Informer became engulfed in a wash of electric fire, twisting and bending his body in such a way as to allow the other Transcreatures the chance to combine. Razorthorne's body eperated at the center and elongated on both ends, foming the shoulders and arms which connected to Informer. Rabid and Nightmare pulled their limbs together, retracting their heads and attcking themselves as legs. Torpedo flipped and folded her legs and arms into herself, her wings twisting to reveal an even larger surface area. She snapped into Informer's back with a white flash of sparks. Finalizing the combination, a tremendous head emerged from Informer's back, now the chest of this incredible creation. A sword larger than Optimal Optimus himself formed in his hand, and the monstroncity stood before them, complete, incredible, greater than the sum of its parts. It looked down at them and thundered. "I am Creature King!"
