Waspinator lay almost in a ball-shape, shriveled from both the cold of his
surroundings and to the recent murder of Luna. Aquasting had delivered him to
this place. It was what the creature, absurdly enough, called home. A dark cave,
high above a river, scarcely lit by a small gathering of stable Energon crystals.
Through the middle of the cave ran a small stream of pure water, which ran though the
mouth of the cave, falling to dizzying heights at the cave's entrance. Though
excruciatingly cold and miserable, the hatred that the Predacon felt burned brightly
enough to ensure a swift and savage recovery.
For how long he lied there, he did not know. His internal computer had been damaged by
Aquasting's attack. As the light that shone through the cave began to dim, Waspinator heard the
fettering of the Fuzor's strange wings. Aquasting flew through the cave's entrance, transforming
to robot mode as he neared Waspinator.
"Ah, my brother. You are awake. It is good to see that you are recovering from that most unfortunate
assault."
Waspinator discerned through the dim glow of Energon that Aquasting was carrying something in his arms.
The shapes looked vaguely familiar.
"I have brought you something to eat, my brother. It will replenish your beast mode and make you
strong again." Aquasting lowered his bounty next to Waspinator, and through the glow he began to
realize why the shapes looked so familiar. They were body parts. Burnt, crisped body parts. One
piece in particular looked like a head, like the small head of a ... girl.
"Luna?" Waspinator whispered.
"I thought it only fitting that the creature that caused your pain be the source of your recovery. Eat, brother.
Grow strong again and we shall rule this world together." Waspinator stretched out a beast leg, gently touching the
blackened face. The flesh was still warm to the touch. Waspinator recoiled in disgust and horror.
"You did this to Luna? You did this to Waspinator's friend? You did this to a ... child?" Waspinator's voice grew louder
with each passing question. His entire body shook in rage.
"You actually cared for this meat-thing?" Aquasting asked indifferently?
"More than weird-bot will ever know." Waspinator stood up on his beast legs.
"And now Waspinator will ... Terrorize!" The Predacon transformed in the blink of an eye, slamming hard into
Aquasting, carrying them through the cave's entrance. As they plummeted toward the river's surface, Waspinator began
delivering one quick blow after another to Aquasting's face.
"Waspinator will kill you! Waspinator will rip out your eyes, rip your arms from their sockets. Waspinator will tear your
ugly Fuzor head off!" The two robots hit the water with a sickening thud. Water sprayed upward from their incredible fall,
splashing back down onto the surface in droves. Minutes passed before the water broke again. As it did, two robots emerged,
battered, exposed circuits sputtering from gaping wounds.
"You are now Transformer. I thought you a brother, but you are obviously insane. Now I, Aquasting, will have
to destroy you." Waspinator's only reply was the firing of a shot from his weapon, which sliced through the air
on a direct course for Aquasting's face.
