Transformers PHALLA: Game Over [Decepticon Victory]

THE FINAL BATTLE!


PART I:

ILLUSIONS, ILLUSIONS EVERYWHERE!





“I must say, Dr. Arkeville, this new location for our operations is most impressive,” said Starscream, looking around at all the scientific equipment in the gigantic complex. “However did you manage to assemble such a collection of equipment in so short a time?”

“All the hard work, eheheheh, had already been done for me!” Dr. Arkeville grinned. “Until a scant few days ago, this was a major base of operations for one of COBRA’s scientific research division. G.I. Joe raided the place, but a quick hack of their servers ensured that the clean-up crew is delayed… indefinitely!” The mad doctor cackled, obviously pleased with himself.

Starscream smirked. “How ingenious of you, Doctor.”

“Ingenious… for a human,” sneered Megatron. “Have you been working on the device that we designed? You shouldn’t be patting yourself on the back until after it is completed.”

“Oh, not to worry, great Megatron,” said Arkeville. “I’ve almost completed the final adjustments,” he gestured over to the Constructions. “With their help, it should be a matter of minutes before it’s fully operational.”

Megatron gestured to the Constructions “Get the machine finished! Once we’ve got it working, our victory over the Autobots will be ensur--“ The Decepticon leader’s sentence is cut short by the crash of debris as part of the complex roof collapses! The unfortunate Bombshell is instantly crushed under the massive amount of concrete and steel.

Like a torrent of rain, the Autobot forces pour into the complex from the hole in the roof! And leading the charge is none other than Optimus Prime!

“Megatron!” Prime declares. “Your reign of terror ends here, once and for all!” The Autobot Commander fires a mighty salvo from his gun, blowing Dragstrip into scrap metal.

“I doubt it, Prime!” Megatron says, laughing as two Autobots, Cosmos and Brawn, run at him, weapons blazing. Their fire just bounces off the Decepticon’s heavy plating, and with a single blast from his arm cannon, Megatron vaporizes Cosmos!

“You slagging piece of scrap!” Brawn shouts, charging Megatron in a blind fury. “I’ll tear you apart with my bare hands!”

“That’s my line,” retorts Megatron, picking up Brawn and ripping him limb from limb. He tosses the pieces over his head and shouts out an order to his troops. “Combaticons! Combine into Bruticus and crush these puny Autobots!”

“Two can play at that game, Megatron!” shouts Silverbolt, combining with the rest of the Arialbots to form Superion. The two gestalt titans begin to clash, shaking the entire building with their blows.

The rest of the combatants find themselves struggling to stay on their feet as the force of the combiner’s battle hits them. “They’re going to bring this whole place down if they keep it up!” shouts Prowl, firing at Breakdown and scoring a fatal blow to his central processors.

“Superion, take the fight outside!” orders Prime.

“He’s… too powerful… I can’t get him off-balance!” Superion grimaces as he tries to counter the other gestalt’s superior strength.

“Then let me help!” Grimlock leaps at Bruticus, carving a huge gash in his right leg. Bruticus wavers, off-balance, and Superion lashes out, knocking it clean off! The limb smashes into a wall, crushing Wildrider and Swoop, who were too busy fighting to see the limb hurtling towards them.

”Let’s dance where there’s more room!” Superion grins, grabbing hold of Bruticus and blasting off through the gaping hole in the roof. The sound of the two combiners fighting fades as they fly far away.

“Damn it!” Megatron grimaces, seeing that the battle has begin to turn against him. “Is the device ready?!”

“It’s finished!” shouts Scrapper, pulling out his weapon and blasting a huge hole in Hardhead. “The doctor can activate it at any time!”

“Then do it!”

Dr. Arkeville’s fingers dance furiously over the keyboard of the device. “It’ll be active in just a few seconds!”

”I don’t think so, pal!” Bumblebee says, aiming his blaster.

“Bumblebee, wait!” shouts Optimus Prime. “We don’t know what will happen if you destroy the machine!”

But those words are spoken too late, as the small yellow Autobot has already fired his blaster! The device hums ominously before the weapon fire hits it, causing it to explode!



A flash of white light fills the optics of all the Transformers present, and the sound of static overloads their audio receptors, knocking everyone present off-line…




…




…




…





Optimus Prime slowly sat up. “Urgh… what happened?” He raised his hand to his head, his processors still aching from the sensory overload.

“It appears…” said a familiar voice. “That the doctor’s device worked.”

Prime reached for his gun. “Megatron!”

Megatron raised his hands, looking frightened. “Wait! I’m not Megatron! Honest!”

Prime narrowed his optics. “What are you talking about?”

Megatron lowered his hands. “Obviously, you aren’t the real Megatron either.”

”What are you talking about?” repeated Prime, confused.

“Look around you, ‘bot,” said the Megatron look-alike, gesturing.

Prime looked at the rest of the Transformers there, and was shocked to discover that… each and every one of them looked just like Megatron!

“What… is this?”

The Megatron look-alike shrugged. “Near as I can figure, the device Dr. Arkeville was working on would have fooled the Autobots into thinking that their team mates were all Megatron!”

Prime looked down at his own hands and, to his surprise and chagrin, he looked like Megatron even to himself! His voice still sounded normal, but he guessed that to everyone else… it sounded like the distinct gravelly tone of the Decepticon leader.

”Well, we have to reverse this at once, so we can stop the real Megatron and his Decepticons!”

Another Megatron look-alike walked over and shook his head. “I’m afraid it won’t be that easy, whoever you are. Dr. Arkeville… I’m afraid he didn’t survive the explosion.”

”Well, we can’t just start shooting each other. I think… we’re going to have to go about this with words, not weapons.”


…


A short time later, all the Transformers had been revived, and had been informed about the situation.

“We’re going to assign everyone pseudonyms to use until we can figure out who is really who.” said the newly-christened B:L.

“And how do you propose we figure out who is on which side?” Blankspace asked.

“Well, since we can’t just shoot each other willy-nilly...” Frosteey grimaced. “I guess it’s going to have to be up to a popular vote.”

“What?! That’s ridiculous!” shouted Squashua.

“Do you have a better idea?” said visiblehowl.

“Not… really…”

“Then voting it is.”

    Rules

    General Info
    This is a double-blind Phalla, meaning that neither the good guys or bad guys know who is on their team. The teams are evenly split, with twenty-five Autobots and twenty-five Decepticons.

    Each person has been randomly assigned a specific Transformer, but there is nothing in the rules preventing people from pretending to be a Transformer that they are not. This is, in fact, a crucial facet of the double-blind system that should make for the most interesting game possible.

    Obviously, there will be no PM sharing in this game, via PM or public posts.

    If you establish an off-site message board for this game, let me know and give me an account.

    The rules will be clarified upon and updated on request. Please label all requests like so.

    Voting
    Voting is just like any other game. Just say “I !vote DarkPrimus if you want to vote for that person to be executed that night.

    There will be no system of retractions. Only your most recent vote will be counted, but please keep your voting to a reasonable level.

    Votes are due at 10 PM CST, regardless of whether or not someone announces voting is closed.

    Obbi will be assisting me in counting the votes for this game.

    Specials
    There are many specials in this game, on both sides. The exact number of specials and what they can do is classified

    Special actions are due to be PMed to Tybalt by 10 PM CST.


    New Mechanic: All Out Attack

    Every player will now have a 20% chance to kill a target of their choice every night. This is in addition to any special abilities they may already have. Post your target for attacking like this: !attack DarkPrimus
