Galvatron-Prelude to TLK (Bayverse) Eng

Part 1

-We shall meet again Prime, for I'm reborn. That saying, Galvatron turned back and left the city of Hong Kong behind him. He remembered very few of his former life. But he knew who he was. And beyond all he knew who his enemy was: Optimus Prime.

He started running and jumped in the air as he began to transform. He landed in his alternative form: a Freightliner Argosy.

He was moving as fast as possible on the passes. He could see his goal; Lockdown's ship besieged by human fighter jet.

The fighters were gazing the hull of the alien vessel, turning between the canons and strafing the ship, the Knights' Temenos. A fighter went upside-down under the Knights' Temenos, the aircraft's belly against the alien ship's belly. It did a looping and went before the cockpit. It spinned, slalomed between the canons and went away from the ship. A turret shot the aircraft who dived towards the nearest safe ground. It fled over the passes and crashed in the woods.

Galvatron saw the jet as it was flying over him. He scanned him immediately. The Freightliner Argosy was running towards the edge of the passes. Before a fall that would have send him into the river, the truck disappeared into cubes and reassembled into a human-alike fighter jet. He flew right to the Knights' Temenos.

He cleared the skies destroying every single Hong Kong army jets, and went for the ship's hold. He went in. Lockdown's mercenaries were welcoming him.

-Freeze ! said one of them. Who are you ?

-I am...

Galvatron was not his name. It was the one those infamous inferior creatures gave him. He has forgot his true name. He was back from the dead but his memory didn't come back along in one piece. Suddenly he remembered something. Optimus Prime and him fighting on a bridge. Someone screamed. He heard his name.

-Megatron.

The corpses of Lockdown's soldiers were lying on the Knights' Temenos's ground. Megatron massacred them, mercilessly.

The ship was vast and wide. It remembered him the battle ships during the War for Cybertron. Images came to him. Explosions everywhere.

Canons stepping back at every shot. Cries of pain of his fellow beings, dying ont he deck, resounding on the surface of the planet. But one thing catch his attention: Sentinel Prime. He saw his former mentor. Slaying his ennemies. Rushing through the ennemies ranks. Always followed by his second in command: Optimus Prime.

Alas, they were on the wrong side. The Grand Council have had poisoned their mind with their lies. Even so he had had tried to convince his brother to follow him. The Fallen could have been the solution. He had seen through the lies of the Council a long time ago. And for that he had been exiled. Until Megatron came to find him in agony and helped him to recover his power yesteryear.

He and his crew were on a ship. They took off. Sentinel and Optimus were finding their way, slaying their ennemies. Megatron remembered about his brother's treason. He had taken the rightfully his. How could he have done that ?

Optimus took a run-up and jumped on the ship. He had caught the landing gear. He began to climb up. He climbed on the roof of the Decepticon's ship.

Megatron heard the heavy steps of Optimus Prime. He ordered the pilot to spin. The crew members caught the grip coming from ceiling. Megatron thought he had wiped Optimus out. A reddish blade pierced the roof. Optimus had not given up and a spin would not be sufficient to get rid of him.

The Decepticon leader transformed his right arm in a fusion canon and shot three ties on the roof, leaving a vast hole on the hull of the ship. But the Autobot hadn't said his last word.

-Proceed. I shall take care of him, ordered Megatron to Barricade, one of his lieutenants.

Barricade nodded. Megatron activated his jet pack and went through the hole he had made. He kicked Optimus face right before to land on the hull. Optimus got up and started the fight. An epic hand-to-hand combat. Sword to sword. A combat opposing the leader of the Decepticons and the future leader of the Autobots. A combat opposing two mortal ennemies. Two brothers.

The ship they were fighting on was cutting through the air between the pillars of Cybertron. Shootings in every directions. Dozens of ships swarming the air. Explosions everywhere.

He came to his and went to the cockpit. The ship was certainly damaged but nonetheless functional. Megatron didn't know where to go but his instinct was pushing towards the unknown.

Space. Stars beyond stars. A black shroud spotted with white.

He was on board of a ship. Before him were Sentinel and Optimus standing. Sentinel was combat training them, he and Optimus. The disciples were encountering their mentor. No, it wasn't Optimus. At least not as he knows him. He was... different.

Megatron attacked Sentinel who put him down easily. This version of Optimus went on the attack and right hooked his mentor.

-Good, Orion. You're getting better.

Orion Pax. It was before his transformation into Optimus Prime. At this time, Orion and him were brothers. But a huge destiny awaited Megatron. He should become the new Prime and lead Cybertron with the Grand Council. But as he later learnt, the Council was corrupted. And he finally should have pass the rite of the Primes, he was judged unworthy by the Council. He who has sacrifice everything for that precise moment.

The Council had to choose a chosen one and they chose Orion Pax, Sentinel Prime's favorite. Orion never deserved this honor. He hadn't dedicated his existence, like Megatron, to becoming the greatest warrior on the planet.

he looked out of a window of the cockpit. Space. Stars beyond stars. A black shroud spotted with white.
