BOSS BATTLE: MEGATRON
THEME: TRANSFORMERS DEVASTATION - FINAL BOSS THEME
Volx launches a vicious primary attack at Megatron known as a critique, all the while sending its psychic energy into Anna, attempting to empower her with the Eye of the Predator ability. Unfortunately for both caster and recipient, Anna does not act immediately enough to take advantage of Volx's bolster, she's either too staggered by the previous attack or simply unwilling to charge Megatron again until she can figure out a way to overcome his superhuman agility.
The Donchaka stand in front of the downed Aesford, composing themselves into a defensive formation through one of their ancient rhythms, the Lament of Defense. As they line up in a fortified position, Megatron appears to be nonplussed; he tilts his head for a moment, considering them before shifting back into a totally cold and focused demeanor, clearly confident that his next action will take care of both Aesford and the entire tribe.
Big Daddy and Alice do not act, clearly both still trying to figure out how to fight this new kind of foe.
Sandra could attack, albeit ineffectively against Megatron's hardy armor, as well the fact that he was moving around the room at roughly the same pace as a hedgehog on methamphetamines. Still quivering, Sandra does not violently expel an array of bodily fluids nor does she just spontaneously explode on the spot, which is a victory in her book.
While Megatron was deeply focused on his finishing attack, Garnt takes the opportunity to charge the robot from the back, aiming to stab him right through his spinal column before he could commence his assault. Megatron, to his credit, realizes that someone is coming from behind and slides out of the way, Garnt's sword thrusting through nothing but thin air. This manuever on Garnt's part was not a failure however, as this forces Megatron to discharge his weapon away from Aesford and the Donchaka; it seems that he was not able to simply cancel it when Garnt intervened. Megatron scowls as he is forced point his open palm at the front of the warehouse, his hand now coalescing with unstable looking, shaking deep-purple colored energy. It unleashes itself as a beam, widening as it spears forth from his hand, creating a cone-like effect that spreads until it obliterates the entire front wall. It's not a standard plasma attack either, as everyone in the room perceives, that as the beam gets bigger and more powerful, time progressively gets slower and slower, all the while the crescendo of the attack is accompanied by a high-pitched squeal like a boiling kettle that grows in intensity as the beam itself does. To the Anti-Trespasser party, it is as if they are watching Megatron attack in slow motion, and finally when the attack dissipates, time reverts to normal.
Megatron, facing the party once more, speaks:
"My suspicions have been confirmed, it's not in my conscious to let this powerful Artifact fall into the hands of a band of unorganized caricature's that can not stop a single football player, let alone a universe-devourer. Let's not waste our time with this game anymore, I shall protect this object with my life and I will let you all return to whatever shallow existence you suffer, a mutually beneficial conclusion to this nonsense. I bid you all farewell, and keep an eye on Aesford, he's a handful. I should know." Grinning, Megatron conjures a portal behind him, big enough for his dimensions, one swirling with vicious energy that glows purples of varying shades. He enters, his form disappearing, the violent portal remaining in place despite his exit.
