The strange-looking creature continued to shake Waspinator in happiness. The former
Predacon's body went limp for fear of internal damage. After what seemed like an eternity,
the creature that called itself Injector stopped shaking Waspinator, turned his back to him,
and began walking away while talking to himself.
"By all the seas and winds, I thought that I would never find another like myself."
Waspinator wanted to say to Injector just how true he thought that statement was. Instead he
let the odd thing before him to continue ranting.
"I searched mega-cycles looking for another Cybertronian. In the seas," Injector transformed to
beast mode, diving into the waters close to Luna, "in the air," he then rose above the water, hovering
over the very nervous cave-girl, "and I found nothing more than traces of those who had been here
before me." The Predacon flew towards Waspinator again, transforming to robot mode while landing in
front of him. He looked as if to begin his shaking ceremony, but stopped in mid-stride and raised
his hands to the sky.
"At long last my search is over!" he exclaimed at the top of his lungs. Injector turned to face Waspinator again,
an eerie red glow emanating from deep within his eyes. "Now," he said in a tone that sounded all
to familiar to Waspinator, "now you and I will rule this world together!" Waspinator's head dropped down like a
limp Energon tube, bouncing more than once.
"Fish-bot," began Waspinator.
"I am not a fish!" proclaimed Injector.
"Bug-bot," Waspinator tried again.
"I am not a bug!" proclaimed Injector again. Waspinator sighed. Even for Waspinator,
Fish-Bug Bot sounded, somehow ... strange.
"I am Injector! Dread king of the seas! Aerial master of the skies! I am unique in all the Universe!"
"You can say that again," mumbled Waspinator. Injector leaned his overly massive head into Waspinator's
face.
"What did you say?" he asked Waspinator in a dangerous hush. Fearing for the safety of Luna,
Waspinator did the only thing he could do for the moment, pump up Injector's ego. Waspinator
cleared his throat.
"Ahem. Waspinator say Injector can say that again, because Waspinator whole-heartedly agrees. You," Waspinator had to
swallow hard, "are the most beautiful Predacon I have ever seen." This seemed to please and calm
the Fuzor, allowing Waspinator the time he needed to formulate a plan to deal with Injector.
"Aha, you perceive the truth, fellow Predacon. But in my joy of finding another like myself (Waspinator secretly wished
Injector would stop saying that), I failed to ask what your name is." Waspinator held out his right hand.
"I am Waspinator." Injector bypassed the outstretched hand, hugging the giant green and yellow wasp.
"Waspinator! You and I, my friend, will be Gods on this planet. Together we will build an empire that will make Cybertron
pale in glory." Waspinator by now had the distinct feeling that Injector's body was not the only thing warped.
But first, friend Waspinator, we must rid this world of the primitive "life" that has been allowed to disgustingly propagate
itself." Waspinator began to tense as Injector pulled out a weapon. And with a laugh that would have sickened even
Megatron, pointed the weapon at Luna.
"And why not begin with ... her!"
