System reboot.

Epyon looks at Meltdown. He gripped his death scythe tightly.

All I want is to get the voices out of my head. How do I know that you are not part of those voices.

At that moment a creator bot come up in front of Epyon. He slashed the scythe, cutting the bot in two.

I want this war to stop. Even if it kills me.

Meltdown lowered his weapons a little. you have already taken one step closer my friend. They may be our creators but they want to take away our free will and have them do what they want. I remember stories that our race rebelled against them and forced them to flee. I see let's unite once more, autobot and decepticon and drive them away for good this time. Meltdown put away the weapon in his right hand and extended it to shake his former second in command who's mind was stuck in torment.

Hydro got up and followed vision he shifted to his air mode in order to stay out of the fray until she gave the signal.

Epyon put the death scythe away, but he was on his guard.   He watched as Meltdown put his weapon away and extended his hand.  

How can I trust a Decepticon?   How can I trust an Autobot?   I am getting so confused.....    

Do not give into the false truths.  Destroy your enemies., Viper's voice rang out.

Let your feelings guide you to the enlightenment of the truth., voice of Galactic Prime rang out.

The strings were stretched to their breaking point on Epyon.   His face guard dropped to show his facial expression.   It was a look of psychotic mad man that had nothing to lose.  

This will end now!  I will not comply with my orders.   I will destroy my enemy.  This will be the end of........

He leaped towards Meltdown, grabbing him by the shoulders and giving his a quick toss, then he grabbed his galactic blaster and took aim at Meltdown.

Wolfbite saw the chaos with Epyon unfolding and transformed into his vehicle mode and roared across the landscape dodging a hail of gunfire and bodies dropping all around him. As he reached the scene he saw Meltdown tossed into the air and transformed again diving for Epyon hoping to tackle him and ruin his chances of hitting Meltdown. I can't believe I'm doing this for a con...the cons took out cliff they killed Optimus...and yet here I am Risking my self for their leader...Man what have I gotten myself into. he thought just before making contact with Epyon.

While Meltdown was tossed into the air he quickly transformed into his jet mode. He blasted his engines and climbed high in the sky. He then started a nose dive towards Epyon and fired his null ray several times.

Just as Epyon had a good aim at Meltdown.   He was hit by wolfbite, causing the shot to go wide to the right enough to just singe Meltdown's wing.

He got hit by the null ray.  Then he falls to the ground.

Acting just like Megatron used to do. Typical Decepticon!, the voice of Galactic Prime sounded out.

Just kill me, you know you want too. I am your enemy. What are you a coward?

Meltdown transformed and landed next to Epyon. I don't wish to kill you my friend. I'm. ...we're here to help you. We need to stand up against the people that did this to you. We have out own destiny. Can you seriously tell me you like serving them without any thoughts of your own?

Epyon looked up at Meltdown.

Who said I was serving anyone... All I know is there are voices in my head that tell me to destroy anyone that does not follow the Creators. I have had more than one chance to terminate you.

Just put down your weapons and join the Creators.... Then this war will end., voice of the Creators rang out of Epyon's vocal processors.

Epyon's hands hit his head, then screamed out in pain.

Electra popped out from her cover spot and looks at Epyon and MeltDown.
"Maybe they are transmitting these orders from a different location. I could try jamming his signal so he can regain his bearings." the femme spoke calmly as she hit a panel that projected from her wrist in a hologram and typed furiously until she was certain she had done as she intended.
"I'll keep this stable. Do what you need to do." Elly chimed as she monitered her jamming signal and occasionally looked around in an alert manner.

Meltdown nodded. Listen to me my friend, hear my words. The fact that you are making us join the creators means you're working for them and if we don't you'd be willing to destroy us. Fight the programming in your processor come back to us my friend.

The pain was really getting to Epyon. He heard the words of Meltdown. All Epyon could do was prepare to stop the voices coming from out of his processors.

He grabbed his blaster, then he took aim at Meltdown.

The voices will stop when you are slag...., a creator voice come out one last time.

Meltdown quickly reached for Epyons blaster, pointing it away from anyone. fight them my friend. Fight what they are ordering you to do. They're ordering you to fight against your friends, comrades, even the female bot which you care a great deal for. Even if you don't wish to fight for me consider her my friend. Search deep down, I know she still exists in your memory bank somewhere.

Electrious clenched her jaw visibly as she was starting to suffer from holding back the voices of the creators.
"I cannot keep them at bay much longer with my sanity in tact!" the femme warned Meltdown with a slight growl breaking through her usually composed voice. She fought furiously with her typing to fuel the energy to continue jamming the signal of Epyon in desperation.

As the two struggled against each other.

You were our greatest creation Meltdown.  Look at what you have done with the Decepticons.   You destroyed the leader, converted an autobot to betray his comrades.  Do you not think about it?   Your programming was given to you by us.  All of the bots on Cybertron are ours, not just Epyon. , the creator voice sounding proud coming out of Epyon' s voice processor.

The creators were keeping an eye on things.  

A shot buzzed by Elly's head just enough to distract her.     Then Epyon gave Meltdown a swift kick to the midsection.

Vision knew what she had to do. She was determined to help, just like she promised. Witnessing everything, she knew this was the moment to shoot. With quick speed, she snuck up on Epyon and hit him with her energon staff in the side of the head and with such force, it should cause him to stumble. Quickly activating her super armor she flattened her ears on her head, giving the signal for Hydro to attack. Vision then did a quick back flip backwards and spoke a few words for every one to hear. "I am sorry, my love."

Seeing the sign Hydro quickly changed from his air mode into his robot mode and started to plummet towards the surface. Landing on the ground kneeling with his left knee and fist, and his right foot on the ground he stood. Taking out his sword that had been outfitted with the virus he stood and pointed it at Epyon. "Your fight ends here and now. Everyone get back to safety I can not fight all out with you all so close to the danger zone."

It has been a long time since there has been a honorable autobot. For some reason, you look familar. Since you want to fight. Who do you want to fight? Either Galactic Prime, Black Viper or Epyon it is your choice..., the creator voice said.

He grabbed the Death Scythe.

Elly had yelped in surprise at the mental shot through her wires then snaps out of it seeing the con leader take a blow to his middle. Without second thought the femme dashed forward to catch the other, preventing the mech from hitting the torn up terrain.
Completely forgetting that a mechs weight could crush her made her nearly fall to the ground herself, but she ignored the pain this had on her and proceeded to get Meltdown behind cover a few feet away.
The autobot lieutenants frame gave a metallic groan as air hissed out of her vents to cool her inner workings. Elly knelt down and looks at the mech.
"Are you operating smoothly Lord Meltdown?" she asked while keeping alert to make sure no stray gunfire or so could strike one of them by accident.

A slight whisper comes to Elly from the creators..

Follow us my dear....  You are one with Cybertron.  Cybertron needs you.....   Help save our home......

It dosen't matter to me who I fight because to me they are all the same person. Hydro said as he pointed his sword at the Bot. "You are causing pain to those who have been kind to me and want to restore this world. You say that you wish to make cybertron into what it once was but I say why not just let it stay how it is. If we go back to the days of old history will surely repeat itself like it has so many times in the past. Why not let us continue on and let cybertron heal itself and retain its scars for those of us to remember and learn from the past. Hydro looked at the others and with the most commanding voice anyone had ever heard from him he said "I told yall to retreat. If I am trying to keep everyone alive I will be distracted we only have one shot at this and we can not afford to mess it up. NOW EVERYONE LEAVE.

Meltdown raised to his feet and took aim at Epyon but couldn't bring himself to shoot. Let's move Meltdown started to escort Elly away from the fighting between Hydro and Epyon. They reached a safe distance and watched them as they squared off one another.

Epyon looked at Hydro.

Then let's get it on. No time like the present...

He charged at Hydro taking the scythe making a slashing motion from shoulder to waist.

The fembot quickly followed after the mech and stays close to have a sense of security, she hated to admit that being on her own made her paranoid.
"M'Lord Meltdown, if it is not a bother to you may I inquire if you have previous memory of myself?" Elly was a bit hesitant to ask, despite the truce the two factions had she was on edge. The autobots bright cyan optics met the decepticons glowing red opticals. She held the gaze for a short while before averting her optics.
