Transformers: Prime: The New Beginning

Chapter 29: Human Error

"I DON'T CARE!! Doomsayer wants a Second Great War and I promised Orion Eclipse, my son, that I would help you Autobots put a stop to his war criminal and terrorist activities before he destroys both Earth and Cybertron!" Megatron yelled at Bulkhead and Arcee. "We get it, Megatron! But we've encountered Doomsayer and his New 'Cons before in the Badlands and hoo boy were they different from the original Decepticons." Bulkhead said. "No time for excuses!" Agent Fowler said. "We need to help those people fight off against the New Decepticons."

"But what about the human authorities? The military? The human armed forces?" Arcee asked. "We have no choice now." Agent Fowler replied. "No choice?! Well, what do you think we should do to try and help these people in Idaho?! For God's sake, Orion's friend is in danger! Your former employee is in danger, Fowler!" June Darby exclaimed. Megatron paused before he suggested an idea. "Contact Ultra Magnus and the Autobots. Send them over to where the New Decepticons attack the humans without being disguised in their vehicle modes. I'll help them out if they need me." he said. "Megatron are you sure about that?" Arcee asked. Megatron looked to the fembot. "Forgive me for what I'm about to say, but Optimus Prime would've helped save the humans if their civilization was under attacked by me and my Decepticons," he said as he gave an example.

Arcee sighed before she decided, "Alright, Megatron. We're calling our leader, Ultra Magnus and we'll call for backup." she said. "Are you sure it's such a good idea? Because it's bad enough that Doomsayer, Starscream, and their New Decepticon Army are having the humans blame us for their crimes against humanity and Cybertron!" Bulkhead said. "What if the humans aim their weapons against us since they think that all Cybertronians are bad?!" he exclaimed.

"We'll find a way," Arcee said. "Arcee is right, guys. In fact...Humanity needs more heroes and our planet needs more hope than it already has right now." June replied.

Back in the Devastator, Starscream was spending time with his romantic partner, Skywarp when they came across the New Decepticons' medical officer and scientist, Astrocharge who was working on a new serum after extracting the DNA of the human specimens that Doomsayer's deadly New Decepticons as well as The Inner Circle had captured from the city of Idaho less than 10 hours ago. Starscream kept the Dark Star Saber behind his back as Doomsayer told the Air Commander Seeker that he should keep it so that he can use it to kill Megatron whom many Decepticons declared a coward and a traitor to his people. Astrocharge was pouring chemicals from one glass jar beaker to the next using human DNA from the human specimen that Doomsayer and his crew recently gotten to frame the Autobots and make them the ones responsible for having some of the humans captured and killed by the New Decepticons and they were becoming more successful as the US President Gabriel J. Henderson, as well as the newly rebooted M.E.C.H led by Adam Bowen, has declared all Cybertronians alien invaders that must be destroyed to keep the Earth safe.

"Astrocharge? What are you doing?" Skywarp asked curiously. "I'm making a new chemical formula out of the recent human specimen," Astrocharge said. "What for?" Starscream asked. "To see if we can transform our Autobot enemies into human beings so that it'll be much easier for us to kill them all." The mad scientist replied. "What an excellent idea. Except for one tiny thing." Starscream said. "Oh, really? What's that?" Astrocharge asked.

"This new chemical may not work unless we have a test subject....and I'm thinking we should find someone who will be our test subject," Starscream said. "Good idea, Starscream." Skywarp agreed.

Meanwhile, back on Cybertron in Autobot City, Orion Eclipse was spending time with his childhood sweetheart and girlfriend, Altair Comet and they were reminiscing on the days when they were kids. Orion was starting to remember his childhood now as he remembered the number of times he would get into trouble with his father when he was still a Decepticon before he got separated from his family during the Great War.
