The Birth of an Enemy, pt. 1
by Sky Shadow (airshadow_nightlight@hotmail.com)

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the birds were singing.
Inside the Maximal ship, the Maximals were in the control room. They
were in robot mode (except Dinobot). They reviewed the sensors and
searched for Predacon activity. Rhinox, Rattrap and Cheetor were operating
the computers, while Optimus Primal and Dinobot watched the
tridimensional maps. Suddenly, Optimus Primal turned towards the computer.
"Computer, I need information about Predacon activity."

"No Predacon activity registered in the area," the Maximal computer
answered him. Optimus shook his head, worried. What had happened to the
Predacons? Something was wrong.

"Optimus. I am registering one transmission on our frequency... it's
Airazor," advised Rhinox.

"Take it."

"Airazor, calling Maximal base. I'm beginning the transmission of my
matutine report."

"Come in," said Rhinox.

"I haven't seen Predacons all morning," she informed.

"Airazor, continue your patrol..." Optimus answered her. "We don't know
when the Predacons will appear again. "

"That's okay. I'll be in contact. Airazor off."

Now Optimus Primal was more worried. He shook his head anxiously. The
Predacons could be planning something. What could be it? He didn't have
any idea. Suddenly, Cheetor spun in his chair and looked at Optimus.
"Could you tell me, my powerful leader, what's happened with the
Predacons?" He added, joking,"Are they extinct? "

Dinobot didn't understand Cheetor's intentions and turned angrily
towards him. "How can you consider yourself a warrior if you ask a novice's
questions?" he exclaimed furiously. "They must be preparing a trap! I
can smell Megatron's purposes; he will strike soon... I know..."

"Of course, paranoiac lizard, of course..." Rattrap said, mocking him
while he was watching the computer. "You always see Predacons when there
aren't any. I recommend you go to a psychiatrist." He added, whispering
to himself,"You need one."

"What did you say?" Dinobot exclaimed, very upset. "YOU BIG RAT!?!"
Rattrap turned the chair and imitated Dinobot's intonation. "What did
you hear? BIG LIZARD!?!"

"That's enough...!" Dinobot exploded. "I can't stand your big mouth
anymore!"

"Oh, really?" Rattrap challenged.
"Stop now!" exclaimed Optimus. "If you continue fighting, I'll have to
punish both of you."

Dinobot and Rattrap returned to their places. Apparently the fight had
ended. Rhinox shook his head, he thought about that... "All day, every
day... don't they ever get tired of it?" he sighed.

"They aren't guilty because they're stressed. We all feel the same,"
Cheetor said as he looked Rhinox.

"We don't see any Predacons for days..."

"For days?!" exclaimed Rattrap. Next he was looking at Cheetor. "Didn't
you learn to add in school, kitty? We haven't seen any Predacons for
three weeks!"

"That's right, Rattrap," confirmed Optimus. Seconds later he looked to
Rhinox. "Rhinox, did Tigatron's report say anything?"

"The same as Airazor's report... nothing."

Optimus shook his head again, turned away and asked himself: "What's
Megatron's plan?"

"We soon will know it... we must be on guard..," said Dinobot gloomily.

What no one knew was that even then, a stasis pod was slowly beginning
its descent to the planet. Soon, a new fight for its possession would
begin.

While that happened in the Maximal ship, all Predacons (except
Tarantulas) were inside the command room of their ship. All present were in
beast or robot mode. Megatron (he was in robot mode) sat in his command
place, and he was furious with his crew.

"All present are good for nothing! And you consider yourselves
warriors!" he screamed aloud. "You don't destroy the Maximals! You can't catch
a stasis pod! YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING! I HAVE TO DO ALL!"

All Predacons backed up, scared. No one had anything to say to him.
Suddenly Inferno walked forward, and knelt down in front of Megatron.
"Your Majestic, I..."

"Shut up, stupid ant!" screamed Megatron, annoyed. "If you were more
intelligent than them, you could help me do something..."

"My Queen..," said Inferno, troubled,"I'm the most loyal soldier in
your service... you have only to give me an order and I'll do it, if you
want, I SHALL BURN ALL MAXIMALS!!!"

"Oh really, stupid ant? Perhaps you will do it..." replied Megatron,
between annoyed and skeptical. "GO OFF!"

Inferno went to one corner of the room, far from the other Predacons.
"I'm an unloyal and bad soldier..." he said, lamenting and talking to
himself. "I must do something for my Queen... I must do something for the
glory of my Great Queen!!!!"

Suddenly the Predacons' alarm started ringing. Megatron asked,
surprised,"Tarantulas, what's... Tarantulas?!?!?!?" He searched carefully among
those present and next he screamed aloud,"WHERE IS THAT STUPID
SPIDER???!!!! FIND HIM!!!!!"

Quickly, all the Predacons went out of the room to find Tarantulas.
Meanwhile, Tarantulas stayed in his lab. He heard all of Megatron's speech
thanks to his microscopic microphones. When the alarm rang, he went to
his principal computer.

"Computer. What's happening?"

"A stasis pod has appeared. Projected planetfall in thirty megacycles,"
the computer answered him.

"Good... very good," he exclaimed, pleased. "Computer, begin the
location process. Now!!! "

"The location process has begun."

While the computer was doing the location process, Tarantulas was
talking to himself. "So, I'm a stupid spider, my hater leader? I have not
ignored your insults... I had a good idea when I installed my own
microphones in all ship." He began to laugh slightly. "Soon I will have my
revenge, and you, Megatron... you'll pay me all slaps that you have given
me. "

"I beg your pardon, my appreciated spider," said a cool and familiar
voice. "Were you talking about me?"
Tarantulas turned and looked as Megatron emerged from the darkness, in
beast mode. He walked towards Tarantulas.

"Ahhhh! Megatron, I..," said Tarantulas calmly.

"You found a stasis pod. Didn't you? "

"That's right, my leader. I was going to tell you, when I had the
location. "

"That's right... " said Megatron while he moved his head and saw the
computer. "Computer, give me the place where the stasis pod is going to
land. "

"Probable landing coordinates have been located," it answered him.
"Location five grades at north, seven grades at west."

"When do you think it is going to land?" asked Megatron.

"Estimate- thirty megacycles."

"Megatron," said Tarantulas,"That place is neutral zone. I'm going
to... "

"No! Not alone," exclaimed Megatron, and he moved his head to
Tarantulas. "I don't risk the stasis pod. The Maximals want it too... Could be
that they move on it at this moment... " Megatron smiled devilishly.

"I have little time but it's enough... I have a good plan... "
Megatron took his leave of Tarantulas's lab. Suddenly Megatron turned
his head and looked at Tarantulas.

"By the way spider, sometimes... I think that you want betray me..."

"I never try to betray you, my great leader... " replied Tarantulas.
"Trust in me."

"Of course, my smart spider, of course... Tarantulas, don't go to the
stasis pod alone... I don't want to lose it! I need to prepare some
details for capturing the stasis pod and destroying the Maximals at the
same time. Remember..." Megatron threatened him. "Don't move yet!"

"Of course, my Leader, I won't forget."

"I hope." Then Megatron was gone.

"Tyrannical saurian," muttered Tarantulas.

Megatron walked down the corridor that connected to Tarantulas' lab.
"Don't think I ignore your intentions," whispered Megatron to himself.
"Soon you'll pay... treacherous arachnid."

In the Maximal ship, Dinobot and Rattrap were alone in the command
room, on duty. Rattrap, in robot mode, was sitting in front of the
computer. Dinobot, in beast mode, stayed next to the tridimensional map. He was
searching for Predacon activity in the area. Both, at this moment, felt
tension while they were together. At least, they had the same opinion
this time. Rattrap was moaning about the late hours and Dinobot was fed
up.

"Why me?" Rattrap moaned aloud. "I'm a good guy... well, a good rat. I
give no problems to anyone. I always have to go to the Predacons' ship
and I spy on them. I always have to do the hard work and the most
disagreeable too... And as if it isn't enough, I have to stand this
paranoiac lizard... "
Dinobot couldn't stand any more, and jumped up and screamed furiously.
"Don't you ever shut up, cheese-eater!? Must you always be
complaining?! YOU USELESS RAT! If you had been Predacon, Megatron would have
destroyed you!"

Rattrap rotated the chair and he replied mockingly,"If I had been
Predacon... BUT NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN A PREDACON, UNLIKE YOU!"

"That's enough," roared Dinobot. "NOW, I'LL GIVE YOU SOME LESSONS!
DINOBOT, MAXIMIZE!"

Soon the fight began. Dinobot advanced towards Rattrap. Quickly, he
changed to robot mode and tried to defend himself. Dinobot beat him; he
was intending hurt him, but Rattrap eluded his attacks.

"Stasis pod detected... stasis pod detected," the Maximal's computer
alerted them, but they weren't listening. Their fight continued, when...

"Can you tell me what's going on?" said an irritated voice.

It belonged to Optimus Primal. Dinobot and Rattrap stopped fighting in
that moment and they looked at the place where the voice had come from.
They could see Optimus was very angry with them. Rattrap was worried,
he was shaking slightly while he looked at Optimus. Dinobot was
indifferent. He moved backwards. Comparing with Predacons' chastisement, the
Maximals' punishment, whatever it was, couldn't be worse than the
Predacon's torture chamber. Dinobot was sure he could resist anything.

"Hum... er... hi! My great leader..," said Rattrap nervously and
worried. "We are having a small and friendly chat. Aren't we, Chopperface?"
Nobody spoke more. In the cockpit, only the computer's voice was heard.
"Stasis pod detected... stasis pod detected..."

It was evening, and the air was warm and wet; anyone there would have
been able to hear the exotic sounds of different kinds of animals.
Slowly, the stasis pod landed in the middle of the jungle. No Predacons or
Maximals were around. Soon the DNA searching started. Far from the
protoform's location, three Predacons were trying to find it. They were
Blackarachnia, Scorponok and Inferno. Blackarachnia and Scorponok stayed in
beast mode; Inferno was flying behind them. Megatron's search had
begun.

"If only that stasis pod had crashed nearer to the base... " said
Blackarachnia. "Don't moan. And shut up too," replied Scorponok.

"Oh no! I'm in a deep water," Blackarachnia mocked. "You'll tell our
Great Leader Megaton about all the names I call him." She added,
laughing,"I'm trembling with fear..."

"Oh shut up!" exclaimed Scorponok, very upset. "Why did my Great Leader
Megaton let you accompany me on this mission?"

"Look who's moaning now," she replied while she stopped walking, and
Scorponok saw her. "Because he can't go and we can go; next, I can
reprogram the protoform.... I know the way. And to conclude... he doesn't
trust in Tarantulas... " She added thoughtfully, "The truth is, he doesn't
trust anyone... And be realistic, Scorpy, he doesn't trust you either.
"

"HE ALWAYS REWARDS HIS LOYAL WARRIORS! Ask Inferno!"

"Ask Inferno, ask Inferno!" Blackarachnia replied brusquely. "You and
he are his well-trained soldiers, but also you are--"

"Ohhh... SHUT UP!"

They continued their discussion. In the sky, Inferno looked them but he
didn't say anything. Obviously he wished the protoform for Megatron,
but he saw that he wouldn't have any help from them, due to their
personal conflicts. They could lose the warrior... No, not if he could help
it.

"I have to obtain this new warrior for my Queen... with their help or
without it," said Inferno to himself; and he was gone to other places to
search for the protoform.

In the same time and in another piece of the jungle, Rattrap and
Dinobot (both in beast mode) tried to find out where the pod had landed.
Optimus punished them this way. He wished that Dinobot and Rattrap would
work like comrades. Now, Dinobot knew that he could affront anything...
except Rattrap's company. Their personal quarrel began again.
"What bad luck!" complained Rattrap to himself. "Optimus wouldn't have
annoyed me with this if the lizard hadn't started the fight!"

Dinobot screamed at him angrily, "If you speak another word, you will
repent it!"

"I'm scared stiff! Look at me, I'm shaking like a leaf; but remember,
iguana, if you damage my beautiful body, you'll have a lot of troubles
with the top banana."

Dinobot roared furiously. "That's enough! I'll find the stasis pod...
ALONE!" He disappeared quickly into the brush.

"That's right! Bite the wind!" screamed Rattrap. "What a mean lizard!"

Inside the command room of the Predacon ship, Megaton was alone; he was
in robot mode and he was comfortable, seated in his chair. He was
waiting for news about the protoform and he was planning the next part of
his strategy.

"Beware! Maximal activity detected in the area of the stasis pod,"
alerted the Predacon's computer.

"Good. Now, the second phase of my plan can begin," Megaton commented
to himself while he smiled sinisterly. "Computer, open communications to
Waspinator, Terrorsaur and Tarantulas." He stood. "It's time to work."

Meanwhile into Maximal ship, Rhinox, Cheetor and Optimus Primal (all in
robot mode) stayed in the control room. They were quiet and made no
mention of the search of Dinobot and Rattrap. Hours had passed, and the
Maximals were beginning to feel very uneasy. Rhinox and Optimus were
viewing the tridimensional map. Cheetor was in front of the computer.
Suddenly Cheetor scream, alarmed, "Big bot! You've got to see this!"

"What's happening, Cheetor?" asked Optimus, worried, while he went to
him.
He answered anxiously, "The Predacons are going out... I detect three
Predacons near the stasis pod... also, four more Predacons are in the
same zone as Rattrap and Dinobot."

"We must inform them! Cheetor, call them and inform Airazor and
Tigatron too, now!" exclaimed Optimus, alarmed.

"Right!"

"Optimus, we can't wait for Airazor and Tigatron," said Rhinox. "We
don't have time and if we don't something soon, we could lost the
protoform or our friends..."

"I know," Optimus replied uneasily.

"Bad news, big bot! I can't establish contact with Dinobot and
Rattrap," exclaimed Cheetor, more alarmed. "The energon fields won't let me
make contact. Airazor and Tigatron are going there, but they could arrive
late... I'll try to contact Rattrap and Dinobot again!"

"We can't wait! " Optimus cried. "Dinobot and Rattrap are inside a
trap. Cheetor, activate Sentinel and follow us."

The roof opened. Optimus used his rockets and he took off towards the
stasis pod's location. Seconds later, Rhinox left too.

The Birth of an Enemy, pt. 2
by Sky Shadow (airshadow_nightlight@hotmail.com)

A great while ago, Dinobot had left. Rattrap was walking trough the
weeds and trees, in beast mode. He tried to find the protoform. Still, he
continued his moaning against Dinobot. "Why does our big boss let that
stubborn lizard stay with us? The team was better without him... "

Suddenly, he stopped walking. Was he imagining, or had he heard a small
noise?

"Lizard, is that you?" Rattrap scanned around him; he wasn't able to
see anybody around.

"Oh, come on, lizard! You can't scare me with this old trick..."

He could hear a small noise again. Now he began to feel scared,
something told him that Dinobot wasn't behind this.

"Dinobot?" he whispered.

"I'm so sorry, little mouse, but I'm not your prehistoric friend," a
female voice answered him.

"Oh no," said Rattrap. He turned to the side. Now, he could see in the
middle of the weeds a horrifying sight emerging... a big black widow.

"BLACKARACHNIA!" screamed Rattrap.

"Either this planet is small or I have a good luck today. When I start
to feel hungry, I find a delicious enemy to eat," she said, laughing
sarcastically. "What's happened, little rat? Have you become tongue-tied?
I will reprogram the protoform," she added threateningly. "AFTER I EAT
OR DESTROY YOU! BLACKARACHNIA, TERRORIZE!"

She transformed to combat mode and began shoot at Rattrap. He ran
behind a rock and fired on her, too.

"Why don't you make this easy and let me drain your life-force,
lab-rat?" she said mockingly.

"Where is that paranoiac lizard when I need him?" screamed Rattrap.

In the border of the jungle, Scorponok had changed to robot mode. He
hadn't seen Blackarachnia or Inferno for hours. He was on the top of a
high rock and trying to find them. "Nothing! Where is that treacherous
spider and that useless ant?! I only divert my attention for a few
megacycles and they disappear," he exclaimed violently. "If we lose the
protoform, Megatron'll be furious with us!"
He continued his search and he detected something interesting "Ahhh...
what wonderful luck!" Scorponok saw a raptor in the weeds. It was,
without discussion, Dinobot.

Dinobot walked carefully some steps. He stopped walking and moved his
head; he was inspecting the area, but he didn't see Scorponok. As a good
Predacon, Scorponok fired a shot. Dinobot heard a small noise and
before the rocket would damage him, he dodged and avoided Scorponok's
missile blast. He moved his head and saw him. "You fail... stupid!" he
exclaimed. "Dinobot, maximize!"

"I won't fail again... traitor!" Scorponok jumped and began his fight
with him. Dinobot used his spinning cyber-slash sword to defend himself,
but Scorponok disarmed him. Now the fight was at close quarters.
Dinobot took advantage of Scorponok's amusement. Dinobot caught the
scorpion's tail and threw him far away.

"I win," exclaimed Dinobot. "Now, I must find out where the protoform
is..."

"You won't find out anything," said devilish voice. Dinobot knew this
voice. "OOUUUGHH!!" he roared, hurt. Dinobot fell down injured; he
quested with his eyes who had hurt him. He was able to see Megatron,
Waspinator, Terrorsaur and Tarantulas on a rock in robot mode. Megatron was
smiling glacially and devilish. He could destroy him; how he would enjoy
doing that! His old rival dead. "Now traitor," Megatron said cruelly,
"I will have the great pleasure of destroying you. "

Slowly, Megatron moved his powerful cannon and pointed towards Dinobot.
He was ready to destroy him when a unexpected shot near him stopped
him. Megatron turned his head and saw Airazor and Tigatron arriving. He
was in robot mode and she in beast mode.

"Umm... this situation could become complicated..." he said
thoughtfully. "PREDACONS, DESTROY THEM!"

Terrorsaur and the others advanced happily on that order. Dinobot stood
up with difficulty, his honor pulling him to fight his enemies. He
tried to fight with Tarantulas but he was very weakened; he needed help.
Meanwhile, Tigatron was shooting at Terrorsaur and Airazor was fighting
with Waspinator in aerial combat. Tarantulas was winning the fight with
Dinobot, and although he tried to continue, the raptor couldn't resist
anymore. Tarantulas was laughing and said, "You are done for!"
He didn't continue, because Tarantulas felt that something was touching
him slightly. Quickly, he turned his head and saw Optimus Primal. He
lost no time and began to fight with him. At the same time, the other
Maximals arrived and began to shoot at the Predacons.

"Withdraw! Withdraw!" screamed a scared Terrorsaur. He changed to beast
mode and flew out of there fast.

"Waspinator doesn't go until he destroys all Maximals," exclaimed
Waspinator with decision. A blaster shot passed next to him; he shouted,
panicky, "Waspinator could change his opinion!"
Waspinator transformed; he flew fast and far out of there. Tarantulas
imitated him; he changed to beast mode and escaped too; the Maximals
lost sight of him when Tarantulas ran at the thicket.
Optimus rapidly went to Dinobot and tried to help him. Dinobot was
seriously damaged. The others Maximals surrounded them. Dinobot tried to
stand but fell. He was severely hurt. Optimus knelt down and tried to
help him. "Dinobot! Dinobot, say something!"

"Where is Rattrap?" asked Cheetor anxiously.

Dinobot answered them with difficulty. "He must be near here... we
separated."
"You had a fight, didn't you?" inquired Optimus.

"You aren't way off base... forget it... Megatron is going to the
protoform..." responded Dinobot.

"Optimus, the new warrior will be born soon," calculated Rhinox.
Optimus was undecided as to what he must do. At last, he turned his head and
looked at Rhinox. "Stay here and look after Dinobot. We'll return soon.
The rest of you follow me; we must located the protoform."

Except for Dinobot and Rhinox, all the Maximals went to save the
protoform.

Megatron was walking towards the protoform. He would soon appropriate
it. At any cost, the new warrior would belong to him. Suddenly, Inferno
appeared in beast mode. He was pulling the stasis pod behind him. "My
Queen!" exclaimed Inferno happily. "I'm very glad to see you. I bring
the new warrior for you."

"My appreciated and competent soldier... I'm pleased with you,"
answered Megatron with a devilish smile. "Now, let me work, I can see that the
DNA process has begun. It is time to reprogram the new Predacon and
give him his first orders."

The fight between Rattrap and Blackarachnia continued. Blackarachnia
screamed at him, "I'm tired, mouse, and I'm hungry too!"

"I'm so sorry, spider. But I ain't gonna become your dinner!" said
Rattrap. He added in a whisper, "I'm fed up with you and I'm in a hurry.
I'll give you an special farewell gift."
Rattrap threw her a bomb. It fell near Blackarachnia and when it
touched the soil, it exploded. Seconds later, she was buried under the rocks.

Rattrap sighed, glad the fight between them had ended. "I'm not going
out with this girl again! Beast mode." He changed to beast mode and
began to walk with a sigh. "I'm so tired; this girl drained off my weapons
energy... but at least I'm safe..."

"Could you repeat that, rodent?" a soft voice hissed. It had a frozen
accent.
Rattrap stopped walking and looked at the trees and weeds; there, a big
cobra's head appeared in the middle of the plants. Rattrap felt a
freezing sensation in his back. He was shaking violently. "Who... who are
you?"

"Najah, the new Predacon and your worssst nightmare," he said while he
advanced, slow and threatening, towards him.

Rattrap didn't run; the horror didn't let him move. Rattrap lowered his
ears and whispered, terrified, "Somebody help me!"

Najah crept towards him while he hissed with a frozen accent. "I wasss
born few megacycles ago and I need energy. Now, you are a rodent and I
am a sssnake," he added. "You underssstand me. Oh, come on, mousssse!
Why are you shaking? I only like to talk to my dinner."

Rattrap backed away; he tried to avoid Najah's intentions. The snake
smiled a bit. "Don't worry, it won't hurt ssso much... well, maybe just a
little. Now, my dinner, I..."

A shot stopped Najah's advance. He spun his head and saw Cheetor appear
across the jungle. Rattrap utilized Najah's distraction to put more
distance between them.

"You don't hurt my friend!" Cheetor screamed to Najah.

"I hate people that interrupt my meals," hissed Najah to himself. "You
are messing around, kitty; if you don't want to lose all your lives,
ssstick to your own affairs."

"That's my business," he replied while he was preparing his attack.

"I'm sssorry for you," answered Najah sarcastically. "Don't claim that
I didn't advissse you... FIGHT!"
Najah lifted up his body and spat a liquid towards Cheetor. He jumped
with swiftness and rolled in the soil; when he looked at the place where
Najah's shot had landed, he could see a horrible thing. The wood of the
trees was BURNING; if he had received it, his metals would have burned
like the wood of the trees! Cheetor felt a deep horror and exclaimed,
scared, "Your saliva is... an acid!"

"Yesss, pusssy cat!" answered Najah sarcastically. "I have a
cyber-poisssion, too. I would like to ussse it for first time with you."

"Try to catch me!" exclaimed Cheetor while he prepared his weapon.

"Valiant and idiotic," commented Najah. He advanced, threatening, and
attacked Cheetor again. Cheetor was a disagreeable surprise; Najah was
faster than him, however, and that thing made the snake most dangerous.
The cobra's aggression was strong and rapid; it seemed to have the evil
of all the Predacons condensed in its body. Cheetor could barely avoid
his attacks. Najah spat his acid again, and...

"YOWWW! My arm! The acid is burning my arm!" exclaimed Cheetor, and he
fell.

"You jussst lossst all your livesss, kitty," laughed the cruel Najah.
"You are dead!"
He was preparing to deliver his fatal bite when a rock beat his head.
He looked at the point where the rock had come from and saw Rattrap.
"Don't worry, Cheetor; I'll help you! Rattrap, maximize!"

"That'sss wrong, moussse. You need help."

Najah struck back against Rattrap and tried to bite him. Rattrap evaded
Najah's fangs. Najah began to use his tail and started to slash with it
him. Suddenly Najah struck Rattrap's legs and he fell. Rattrap shook
his head, confused, and then Najah appeared over him. He hissed
devilishly, "Where were we before the kitty arrived? Ahh, I remember. Do YOU
remember that you are my dinner? And the kitty will be dessssert. What'sss
your opinion?

An unexpected voice-- "You don't hurt them; that's MY opinion!"

It was Optimus and before Najah could react, he grabbed Najah's neck
and threw him away from his friend, near a group of rocks. Najah jerked
his head and was preparing to fight when Tigatron and Airazor arrived.
At that moment, Blackarachnia awoke and emerged near Najah. She scanned
all present and asked, "What happened here?"

Najah looked over. "Hi, toots. Sssorry to tell you that the ssshow isss
over."
She nodded and moved back into the jungle. "Just remember, creeper,
ladies first."

Blackarachnia changed to beast mode and disappeared into the jungle.
Najah laughed sarcastically and commented, "As if I'm a gentleman. Najah,
terrorize!" Immediately, he transformed to robot mode. His arms, face,
and the upper part of his body appeared. His humanoid appearance was
blue-gray; he had almost almond-shaped eyes, inclined and red. They
almost joined and they had a devil light. On his back was a pair of rockets.
They turned on and Najah took off. All could hear his hissed laugh as
he spoke to Rattrap. "Goodbye, my dinner. I'll sssee you sssoon."

Najah was gone, but those present were still able to hear his laugh.
Rattrap looked at Optimus; he felt terrible. If he and Dinobot hadn't
separated, the Maximals wouldn't have lost the protoform. Now he was
sorry, but it was too late.

"Hey, boss-monkey," he said to Optimus. "You must be angry with us. We
were separated in this mission. But before you punish us, would you let
me write a will? I might not get a chance afterwards."
Optimus didn't answer; he was pensive and worried. A new enemy was
born, and he was intelligent and strong. Now, the Maximals might be the
losers of the Beast Wars.
