Fallout stood on the battlefield. All around him were the blasted and twisted remains of what had been mighty buildings and enemy vehicles. His pistons were well oiled, and the servomotors in his torso moved with expert precision his mighty fist hammered into his foe… Megatron.<br/><br/>The great leader of the Decepticons staggered backwards under the force of Fallouts attack.<br/><br/>“You were a fool to disobey me Fallout, and double the fool for returning!”<br/><br/>“No Megatron. You are the fool!”<br/><br/>Megatron leaped at fallout tackling him to the ground and sending the two rolling into a nearby building that collapsed as they crashed into it.<br/><br/>“I’ll crush your spark with my bare hands!” Megatron roared as he gained the upperhand, pinning Fallout.<br/><br/>“Better than you have tried, Megatron!” Fallout retorted as he fired his weapon at pointblank range.<br/><br/>The proximity of the blast destroyed Fallouts left arm and a significant portion of his weapons system. However, it also severely damaged Megatron and sent the massive Decepticon hurtling backwards. Fallout stood and menacingly advanced.<br/><br/>“You… you… cannot defeat me… I am your master.” Megatron gurgled through damaged vocalizers. Fallouts blast had destroyed much of Megatrons' torso, but apparently the maniac was still functioning… not for much longer.<br/><br/>“You are not fit to lead the Decepticons.” Fallout declared. “I shall rule. And under my leadership we shall crush the Autobot resistance, and force them to recognize Decepticon rule… Your reign of madness is at an end Megatron.”<br/><br/>“NNNOOOOO-“ Megatron cried out, but his cry was cut short as Fallouts heavy foot came crashing down on his head, obliterating it. Fallout looked on in satisfaction as the last bit of light slowly faded from Megatrons' fading optics. He turned to the immense gathering of Decepticons who had been watching the battle between the two titans.<br/><br/>“Decepticons! I am your leader now! Stand strong! Rally our forces! For now is the time. For glorious… WAR!”<br/><br/>“WAR! WAR! WAR!” The chant echoed across the entire surface of the planet as the Decepticons picked up his cry.<br/><br/>Then suddenly, there was a presence next to him. Fallout stood ready to crush any who dared to challenge his power, even in his weakened state. To his surprise it was Optimus prime. Optimus reached out and placed a gentle hand where Fallout’s missing arm had been.<br/><br/>"<strong>Fallout, hurry up and get on this bridge now,</strong>” Prime spoke.<br/><br/>Strange, the voice didn’t sound like Prime…<br/><br/>**************************************<br/><br/>Fallout awoke in his cabin aboard the cruiser. Huntrons' voice continued out of the ships Comm system.<br/>“I<strong> haven't got all day, there is a lot of debris up here and you are the better pilot</strong>"<br/><br/>Fallout muttered as he rose. It had been a good dream. A glorious one. One that maybe, one day, he would fulfill.<br/><br/>As he moved towards the bridge, Fallout felt ache in his gears in pistons. He was getting old. In the dream he had been young, his parts had bee new and eager for testing. Now he had undergone so many repairs that he didn’t even remember which parts were original.<br/><br/>Fallout entered the bridge and took the co-pilots seat next to his Autobot companion.<br/><br/>“I have the controls Huntron.” He intoned. ”Setting in course to begin descent to planet side.”<br/><br/>He flipped a few switches and typed a series of commands into the ships navigation computer.<br/><br/>“Perform a scan of the surface and see if we can find a suitable landing area. You might also want to check to for signs of life… although I doubt anything could have survived this long on that…”<br/><br/>Fallout looked out the view port and the decimated planet. It was worse than he remembered it. Or perhaps seeing it again, only reminded him of how bad it had been.<br/>
