Feb. 4th, 2008 03:58 pmNeither wished to be here, for it meant being delayed in carrying out their designated tasks, yet neither could do anything about it...
MY PLANS HAVE CHANGED, he told them simply.
The Fallen and Nemesis Breaker. Here in the non-space between realities they "stood" facing their master in his newly-adopted form.
Well. Since their master had new instructions for them perhaps it would not be so bad.
"What do the new plans entail?" asked the Fallen, for both of them. "Is the Incept to survive?"
"And what about the Autobots...?" Nemesis Breaker added. "They are to survive too?"
AT PRESENT I DO NOT CARE IF JETFIRE AND SILVERBOLT SURVIVE AT ALL. MY GOALS ARE LARGER THAN THEY ARE. He paused. BUT IF THEY DIE, WELL. THEY WOULD DIE ANYWAYS. IT IS NO MATTER.
He turned his attention to the Fallen, who looked eager to carry out whatever Unicron asked him to.
AS TO THE INCEPT, IT IS TO SURVIVE. IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING.
He paused.
YOUR PURPOSE, FALLEN, IS TO DISTRACT THE AUTOBOTS. I WANT YOU TO PROCEED AS I HAVE INSTRUCTED INITIALLY. HOWEVER...
Another pause. This one was for significance.
YOU WILL NOT HARM THE INCEPT IN ANY WAY. YOU WILL TRY TO CAPTURE IT. BUT IF IT IS HARMED THE PAIN IT FEELS WILL BE MAGNIFIED FOR YOU A HUNDRED FOLD.
Both knew that that was no idle threat.
SLAY ANY THAT TRIES TO STOP YOU BUT YOU WILL ALLOW THEM TO STOP YOU REGARDLESS. THAT WILL GIVE THEM THE IMPRESSION THAT MY PLAN WAS TO KIDNAP IT, AND NOT WHAT I REALLY INTEND TO DO WITH IT.
"And what am I to do with Jetfire and Silverbolt?" asked Nemesis Breaker.
Unicron gave a sinister smile.
MY BEASTLY HUNTER. LIKE THE FALLEN YOU ARE A TOOL TO DISTRACT WITH. YOU WILL ATTACK JETFIRE AND SILVERBOLT WITH INTENT TO KILL, AND IF THEY DIE YOU MAY DO WITH THEIR BODIES AS YOU PLEASE. I UNDERSTAND YOUR HUNGER TO HUNT HAS NOW BEEN MATCHED BY A HUNGER TO DEVOUR.
He made it sound as though it pleased him. After all, the multiverse must be consumed. Who did it was not nearly so as important as what was done.
BUT YOU ARE A DISTRACTION. YOUR PURPOSE IS TO KEEP RAD AND THE LEFTOVER AUTOBOTS FROM THE DEAD CYBERTRON TOO BUSY TO THINK ABOUT ME AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE INCEPT. LONG ENOUGH TO ALLOW ME TO DO AS PLANNED.
"Is that all you wish of us master?" the Fallen asked. "What you command, we will obey."
THAT IS ALL. NOW. RETURN TO YOUR TASKS. I HAVE WORK TO DO...
