Crossing The Abyss

My Father was a Lighthouse Keeper. 

My Mother was a Queen. 

They were never meant to meet... 

But Their Love Saved The World. 

They made me What I am. 

A Son of The Land, and 

A King of The Seas. 

I am The Protector 

of The Deep. 

I am... Aquaman.

OPTIMUS PRIME: 

Megatron must be stopped —

no matter The Cost.

[Prime transforms into his truck mode, charged through the Decepticons knocking them one by one to the ground.  Suddenly Prime blast off from the ground, up in the air, and transformed into robot mode shot at Dirge, Thundercracker and Soundwave to the floor before he landed to the ground.]

MEGATRON: 

Prime.

OPTIMUS PRIME: 

One shall stand, one shall fall.

MEGATRON: 

Why throw away your life so recklessly?" 

OPTIMUS PRIME: 

That's a question you should ask yourself Megatron.

MEGATRON: 

No -- I'll crush you with my bear hands.

The battled between Megatron and Prime begin.  Megatron leaped onto Prime and they both fall onto the ground.] 

HOT ROD: 

I've got to help Prime.

KUP: 

Stay away lad, that's Prime's fight.

MEGATRON: 

I'll rip out your optics.

[Despites the heavy beating, the long fight, and a cut through the mid section, Prime finally won the battle.]

KUP: 

Finish him off Prime, do it now.

[Prime pointed his rifle onto Megatron] 

MEGATRON: 

No more Optimus Prime, grant me mercy, I beg of you.

[Megatron fell onto his knee, suddenly he saw a gun that was hidden from Prime view which he intended to use as a sneak attack.]

OPTIMUS PRIME: 

You who are without mercy, 

now plead for it…?

I thought you were made 

of sterner stuff.

HOT ROD: 

No you don't Megatron.

[Hot Rod saw Megatron and his intention so he leaped onto Megatron.] 

OPTIMUS PRIME: 

Out of the way Hot Rod.

[Megatron quickly headlocked Hot Rod, got the gun and quickly blasted a couple of blasts onto Optimus Prime in midsection]

MEGATRON: 

Fall...fall....ah.....I would've waited an eternity for this... it's over Prime.


OPTIMUS PRIME: 

Never!

[As Megatron came closer, Prime clung both hand together and hit Megatron onto the midsection sending Megatron up in the air and fall down to a lower level.]

HOT ROD: 

Optimus, forgive me.

[Hot Rod came to assist the falling Prime] 


STARSCREAM: 

How do you feel, 

mighty Megatron…?

Hyah!

[Starscream kicked on the lying Megatron then gave order to Astrotrain] 

Astrotrain — Transform, 

and get us out of here.

MEGATRON:

Ah...Don't leave me Soundwave.

SOUNDWAVE: 

As you command Megatron.

[Soundwave carried Megatron on the shoulder, Rumble small size carried Megatron's huge canon.  I thought that scene was funny] 


ARCEE: 

The Decepticons are retreating.

KUP: 

Prime did it, he turned the tide.

[Autobots shot at the fleeing Decepticons while they were boarding Astrotrain and retreated to Cybertron.] 

STARSCREAM: 

Astrotrain take off.

 [Scene was now cut to Autobots interior room where Ultra Magnus, Kup, Hot Rod, Arcee, Blurr, and Daniel were watching the evaluation of Perceptor analysis on Prime condition who was lying on some sort of flat board.]

PERCEPTOR: 

I fear the wounds are fatal.

[The comic used the word "Mortal" instead of Fatal] 

DANIEL: 

Prime, you can't die.

OPTIMUS PRIME: 

Do not grieve. Soon I shall 

be one with The Matrix.

HOT ROD: 

Prime.

[Spoke in a low tone almost in whisper]

OPTIMUS PRIME: 

Uh, uhhh...

Ultra Magnus, it is to you, old friend, 

I shall pass the Matrix of Leadership, as it was passed to me.


ULTRA MAGNUS: 

But Prime, I'm....

I'm just a soldier, 

I am not Worthy.

[Ultra Magnus shoke his head and with his hand up as he was reluctantly to accept this new role] 


OPTIMUS PRIME: 

Nor was I...

[Magnus came close to Prime and gripped both 

of his hand on one of Prime hand, very touchy.]

-- but one day...

An Autobot shall rise from our ranks 

....and use the power of the Matrix...to light....

our darkest hour.

[Magnus released his hand from Prime who now used the two hand to open his chest cavity revealing a Matrix.  Prime tried to pass the Matrix to Magnus with his hand but was fell short as his life came to an end.  Hot Rod quickly grabbed the falling Matrix just as it was about to hit the ground.  As soon as Hot Rod touched the Matrix, there was lighted all over him.  Magnus now took the Matrix from Hot Rod and awkwardly put the Matrix onto his chest cavity as though the Matrix didn't fit him correctly.  Now we saw Prime life chart signal no longer beat or rise but just a flat line...meaning he was dead.  Everyone wept around him as his body discolored out from red to black.]

 

[Scene then cut to Unicron as he was monitoring the situation of Prime and learned that the Matrix had been passed to Magnus.  Unicron screamed with sorrow as his threaten by the Matrix lived on.] 
[Scene now showed the interior of Astrotrain as the Decepticons aboard inside him added heavy loads that prevented him from make it to Cybertron.  Now it was Decepticons versus Decepticons...the strong stayed onboard and the weak were thrown off to space]

ASTROTRAIN: 

Jettison some weight 

or I'll never make it to Cybertron.

STARSCREAM: 

Fellow Decepticons, Astrotrain has requested that we lighten our burden." 
139 BONECRUCHER: "In that case I say it is survival of the fittest." 
140 STARSCREAM: "Do I hear a second on that?" 
141 SOUNDWAVE, DIRGE, RAMJET, THRUST, BLITZWING, : "ayes." 
142 STARSCREAM: "And against?" 
143 THUNDERCRACKER, SKYWARP, INSECTICONS: "Nay." 
144 STARSCREAM: "The ayes have it." 
145 SOUNDWAVE, DIRGE, RAMJET, THRUST, BLITZWING: "Get, make room for others, "

146 THUNDERCRACKER, SKYWARP, INSECTICONS: "Brothers don't."

[Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Insections all were forced to be thrown off board by their healthy Decepticons.] 
147 STARSCREAM: "Oh how it pains me to do this." 
148 MEGATRON: "Wait, I still function." 
149 STARSCREAM: "Wanna bet."

[Starscream threw Megatron out into space] 
150 MEGATRON: "Starscream!!!!!" 
151 STARSCREAM: "Well as Megatron has, how shall we say, departed, I nominate myself as the new leader." 
152 SCRAPPER: "Wait, a constructicons form Devastator, the most powerful robot, we should rule." 
153 SOUNDWAVE: "Soundwave superior, Constructicons inferior." 
154 BONECRUSHER: "Who are you calling inferior." 
155 HOOK: "Nobody would follow an un-charismatic bore like you." 

RUMBLE [BLUE]: 

No one calls Soundwave  un-charismatic.

FRENZY [RED]: 

Yeah, let's take tailgate.

SCRAPPER: 

Constructicons unite! 

RUMBLE & FRENZY: 

No way.

[Rumble & Frenzy immediately activated their pile drive causing the surface to shake that prevented the Constructicons from merging.  Now, everyone began to fight with one another.]

[Somewhere in space, the falling Decepticons that were kick off board from Astrotrain, now had been intercepted by Unicron.] 

UNICRON: 

Megatron....Megatron.

Welcome Megatron.

MEGATRON: 

Who..who said that?

UNICRON:

I...am Unicron.

MEGATRON: 

Show yourself.

[Megatron did not know that the giant planet Unicron was a living robot.  Unicron was still in his planet mode not robot yet.] 

UNICRON: 

I have summoned you 

here for A Purpose --

MEGATRON: 

Nobody summons Megatron.

UNICRON: 

-- then it pleases me 

to be The First.

MEGATRON: 

State you business.

UNICRON: 

This is My Command : You are to Destroy 

The Autobot Matrix of Leadership --

it is the one thing, the only thing 

that can stand in My Way --

MEGATRON: 

You have nothing to fear, 

I have already crushed 

Optimus Prime 

with my bare hands.

UNICRON: 

You exaggerate --

MEGATRON: 

The point is he's dead, and 

The Matrix died with him.

UNICRON: 

No, the point is You are A Fool, 

The Matrix has been passed to 

a new Leader... Ultra Magnus. 

Destroy it for me.

MEGATRON: 

Why should I?

What's in it for me? 

UNICRON: 

Your bargaining posture is highly dubious -- but very well.  

I will provide you with a new body and new troops to command.

MEGATRON: 

And?" 

UNICRON: 

'And', nothing! 

You belong to me now." 

MEGATRON: 

I belong to nobody!

UNICRON: 

Perhaps I misjudged you, proceed...on your way to oblivion.

MEGATRON: 

Ah...., no, no...!!

I accept your terms, 

I accept...ah....!

UNICRON:

Excellent.

[Megatron was scanned and reformat with a new body and a new name called Galvatron, Thundercracker became Scourge.  Kickback and Shrapnel became the Sweep for Scourge (Thundercracker) to command.  Bombshell became Cyclonus while Skywarp became Armada for Cyclonus (Bombshell)].  

UNICRON: 

Behold, Galvatron!  

And these, shall be your minions. 

Scourge, the tracker and his huntsmen, the Sweeps.  

Cyclonus, the warrior, and his armada. 

And this shall be your ship. Now go...Destroy The Autobot Matrix.

GALVATRON: 

I will rip open Ultra Magnus 

and every other Autobot, 

until The Matrix has 

been destroyed. 

To Cybertron."

[Galvatron with the new troops and ship are off to Cybertron.] 
183 UNICRON: "Destroy the Matrix."
[Scene was now cut to Starscream who was celebrating his coronation as the Decepticons new leader with the Constructions played a trumpet for the celebration.  Astrotrain was crowning Starscream.] 
184 STARSCREAM: "Get on with the Ceremony. "

[Starscream blasted the Constructicons trumpet because he was to eager to become the Decepticons leader.]

185 STARSCREAM: "My fellow Decepticons, as your new leader I..."

[Suddently, Galvatron and troop arrived at the scene.]

186 STARSCREAM: "Who disrupts my coronation?" 
187 GALVATRON: "Coronation Starscream? this is bad comedy." 
188 STARSCREAM: "Megatron? Is that you?" 
189 GALVATRON: "Here's a hint." 
[Galvatron transformed into his canon mode and blasted Starscream into ashes as the other Deceptions were stunted by the outcome.] 
190 GALVATRON: "Will anyone else attempt to fill his shoes?" 
191 RUMBLE [BLUE]: "What'd he say his name was?" 
192 GALVATRON: "Galvatron" 
193 ALL DECEPTICONS: "Long live Galvatron! Galvatron!" 

- Chapter Ten: A Hungry Planet - 
[Scene was shifted to Moon Base One where Jazz and Cliffjumper were about to be devoured by Unicron.] 
194 JAZZ: "Where'd that come from?" 
195 CLIFFJUMPER: "Who cares, I'm more worried about where it's going."

[Moon Base One was now being devoured by Unicron as Jazz radioed to Blaster on Earth.] 
196 JAZZ: "Talk to me Earth, we got a situation out here. "

[Scene now panned back to Earth: Blaster, Ultra Magnus, Arcee, Springer, Daniel were retooling Autobot City]

197 JAZZ'S VOICE PICKING UP BY BLASTER: "Roger me, wilco me, anything, hello hello Earth." 
198 BLASTER: "I'm picking up a fade signal."

[Blaster transformed into his radio mode as everyone stopped what they were doing and paid attention to the transmission] 
199 JAZZ's VOICE: "This is Jazz, a gi-normous weird looking planet had showed up in the suburb of Cybertron." 
200 CLIFFJUMPER' VOICE: "And it's attacking Moonbase One." 
201 ULTRA MAGUS: "Jazz, Cliffjumper!" 
[Scene was cut back to Moon Base One as Unicron was tearing Moon Base One to pieces.  Jazz and Cliff were rushed to a near by shuttle.]

JAZZ: 

Got to blast free if we can.

CLIFFJUMPER: 

Ignition and..." 

JAZZ: 

Hit it!" 

CLIFFJUMPER: 

Jazz, we're not getting away!

[Jazz, Cliffjumper, and Moon Base One had been devoured by Unicron.  Unicron then traveled to Moon Base Two location.  Scene then shift to Bumblebee and Spike on Moon Base Two] 
206 SPIKE: "This is spike and Bumblebee up here on Moon Base Two."

[Ultra Magnus and crews watched on their monitor as Bumblebee and Spike reported more bad news.] 

BUMBLEBEE: 

This thing, this monster planet just ripped the first moon to shreds.

SPIKE: 

And it's heading this way.

BUMBLEBEE: 

We'll try and slow it down.

SPIKE: 

But you'd better get here fast, because we're not gonna...

[Communication got cut off as Moon Base Two was being tearing apart by Unicron.] 

DANIEL: 

Dad!

[Scene cut to Moon Base Two] 

SPIKE: 

Bumblebee, activate the explosives. 

If this doesn't stop it, nothing will." 

BUMBLEBEE: 

The explosives are activated, let's get outta here. 

Hurry it's gonna blow!"

 

[Bumblebee and Spike set up enough time for them to escape Moon Base Two before the explosion took place.] 

BUMBLEBEE: 

Alright!

SPIKE: 

Hooray...!

BUMBLEBEE: 

We did it, hahaha! 

SPIKE: 

We done it!

[Spike and Bumblebee high five one another as they watched the explosion was being taken place as Unicron was devouring Moon Base Two.]

BUMBLEBEE: 

Way to go!

BUMBLEBEE & SPIKE: 

ahhaha!

220 BUMBLEBEE: "Look!"

[Spike's monitor showed Unicron had no effect with the explosion.]

SPIKE: 

It isn't even dented...ah shit! 

What are we gonna do now? 

BUMBLEBEE: 

We're being sucked into it!"

[Bumblebee and Spike were being devoured into Unicron.  Scene was now cut to Galvatron inside his newly ship.] 

GALVATRON: 

How dare Unicron, Cybertron and 

all it's moons belong to me...! 

Argh...ah...!" 

[Unicron used some sort of energy 

to attack telepathically on Galvatron for questioning his action.] 

SCOURGE: 

But remember -- 

we belong to Him.

GALVATRON: 

I belong to nobody!

[Galvatron falls off the stair as the energy from Unicron intensifies.]

GALVATRON: 

-- I will obey...Unicron."

[Unicron stopped his attack 

and Galvatron was recovered.]

GALVATRON: 

Decepticons, to Earth.

SATURN

What Things Are Saturnine, 

or Under the Power of Saturn.

Saturnine things, amongst Elements, are earth and also water; amongst humors, black choler that is moist, as well natural as adventitious (adust choler excepted). 

Amongst tastes, sour, tart, and dead-like. Amongst metals, lead, and gold, by reason of its weight, and the golden marcasite. 

Amongst stones, the onyx, the ziazza, the camonious, the sapphire, the brown jasper, the chalcedon, the loadstone, and all dark, weighty, earthy things. 

Amongst plants and trees, the daffodil, dragon's-wort, rue, cummin, hellebore, the tree from whence benzoin comes, mandrake, opium, and those things which are never sown, and never bear fruit, and those which bring forth berries of a dark color and black fruit, as the black fig-tree, the pine-tree, the cypress-tree, and a certain tree used at burials, which never springs afresh with berries, rough, of a bitter taste, of a strong smell, of a black shadow, yielding a most sharp pitch, bearing a most unprofitable fruit, never dies with age, deadly, and dedicated to Pluto. 

As is the herb pas-flower, * with which they were wont, anciently, tostrow the graves before they put the dead bodies into them; wherefore it was lawful to make their garlands at feasts with all herbs and flowers besides pas-flowers, because it was mournful and not conducing to mirth. 

Also all creeping animals, living apart, and solitary, nightly, sad, contemplative, dull, covetous, fearful, melancholy, that take much pains, slow, that feed grossly, and such as eat their young. 

Of these kinds, therefore, are the mole, the wolf, the ass, the toad, the cat, the hog, the bear, the camel, the basilisk, the hare, the ape, the dragon, the mule, all serpents and creeping things, scorpions, ants, and such things as proceed from putrefaction in the earth, in water, or in the ruins of houses, as mice and many sorts of vermin. 

Amongst birds, those are Saturnine which have long necks and harsh voices, as cranes, ostriches, and peacocks, which are dedicated to Saturn and Juno. 

Also the screech-owl, the horned-owl, the bat, the lapwing, the crow, the quail, which is the most envious bird of all. 

Amongst fishes, the eel, living apart from all other fish; the lamprey, the dog-fish, which devours her young; also the tortoise, oysters, cockles, to which may be added sea-sponges and all such things as come of them.

Footnotes

102:* Pas, from the Latin word "passus," meaning step, pace, or "right of going foremost; precedence." Thus the pas-flower means a plant blooming ahead of other flowers. A co-ordinate word is "pascha," meaning to "pass over," giving the name "Passover," or the feast of Easter. "Pasch" comes from and means the same as "pascha," and we read of the "pasch" egg, stained and given to children at Easter, as also of the "pasch" flower of Easter. The Easter flower was also known as the Pash-flower, Paschal-flower, and Pasque-flower—"pash" and "pasque" meaning Easter, and "paschal" pertaining thereto. This indicates that the pas-flower in the above text is identical with the pasque-flower, of the genus Anemone, having large purple flowers, which usually bloom about Easter, stepping foremost in their- order of blooming as regarding other flowers. Agrippa also makes mention here of the pas-flower as being an emblem of mourning as the ancients used it to "strow the graves before they put the dead bodies into them." While the ancients may have held the pas-flower as sacred to the rites of burial, the sense of its use as the Easter flower would indicate that it was also used as an emblem of great joy, and signified a new life for the departed through a new birth or resurrection. A true understanding of the meaning of the feast of the Passover or Easter will show this: Easter-day is always the first Sunday after the fourteenth day of the calendar moon which comes upon or next after the 21st of March; so that if the fourteenth day comes on a Sunday, Easter-day will be the Sunday after. Easter corresponds to the Passover of the Jews, and "most nations still give it this name under the various forms of pascha, pasque, paque, or pask." The feast of the Passover was instituted by the Jews "to commemorate the providential escape of the Hebrews, in Egypt, when God, smiting the first-born of the Egyptians, passed over the houses of the Israelites, which were marked with the blood of the paschal lamb." With the Christian church it is observed to commemorate the "resurrection of Christ." The Old High Germans celebrated the day in honor of Ostara, the goddess of light or spring, whence they called April (the month of or following Easter) Ostarmanoth. The Anglo-Saxons called the same month, Eastermonadh, from Eastre, their name for the same goddess, and their paschal feast, Eastran or Easter. March was named from Mars, the god of war, and was originally the first month of the year as it was in March that the Sun came to Aries, the first House of the Zodiac, emblemized by the lamb, as the ram was the first animal to forage for food and procreate; and the Sun entering p. 103 the first House was the vernal equinox, or the first day of spring, the first season of the fruitful year, and therefore March, being the advent month of light and fecundity, was esteemed as the first month of the year. The first full month of light and spring, when every fetter of winter was riven and spring was opened wide and fixed, was April, from aperio, to open; and also from the Greek word, aphros—foam—from which Venus was said to have sprung, and hence this month was sacred to her; no doubt Ostara and Eastre were identical with her. As Easter-day falls the first Sunday after the fourteenth day of the calendar moon which comes upon or next after the 21st of March, Easter-day usually comes in April and dates its arrival from the aspect of the Moon to the arbitrary date of March 21. This is a very significant fact and is fully confirmed as such when we find that the 21st of March is the usually precise date when the Earth, in its annual movement around the Sun, enters Libra, causing the Sun to apparently enter the opposite House or Sign of Aries, ending winter and ushering in spring, for the first day of spring always comes when the Sun enters Aries. Aries is the House of the lamb, and with the birth of spring the lamb is resurrected or brought to life anew, while winter is dead, the Sun having passed over the meridian line between winter and spring. Further, the word Easter corresponds with Aries, for it springs from the word East, and Aries is the Eastern part of the Zodiac. Therefore, March 21st is the true Eastern-day, but the celebration of the return of spring is fitly deferred until the first Sun-day after about a lunar cycle, so as to partake of the first fruits of the spring season. In view of the foregoing, therefore, the ancients used the pas-flower at the grave as an emblem of the passing over of the winter of old age and the resurrection of the spirit to eternal light and immortal youth. lased as such the pas-flower or pasque-flower typified joy and hope.
