Jack stared up at the towering monster before him—the terrifying Shura King. Compared to that colossal fusion of Dinobots, his own figure seemed pitifully small, like a bug facing a mountain. His throat felt dry, his legs heavy, but his mind raced.
"Shura King…" he muttered under his breath, his voice laced with disbelief. "I never thought the Dinobots fusing together would turn into something like this. This completely exceeds anything I imagined. Hell, this wasn't even in Transformers 4! In the original plot, there was no such thing as a Shura King."
The monster raised its massive flaming greatsword, and with a thunderous roar, swung it down.
ROAR!
The blade ignited the air, releasing a massive wave of fiery destruction.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The ground convulsed. Buildings surrounding them collapsed like paper toys, crashing down in clouds of dust and fire. A searing trail hundreds of meters long carved itself into the earth, glowing red-hot as molten cracks spread outward. The city block looked as though a volcano had erupted from the street.
"Holy shit!" Crosshairs cursed loudly, his optics flaring. "That bastard is too damn terrifying!"
Jack sprinted ahead with all his strength. He barely dodged the strike, the heat brushing past him so close it nearly seared his skin. Had he hesitated for even a fraction of a second, he'd be a pile of ash.
The man-made Transformers nearby weren't so fortunate. The shockwave tore through them, shattering their metal bodies like fragile glass. Several went down instantly. Even Hound and Drift were caught in the blast, their heavy frames smashed against crumbling buildings, sparks and oil spilling as they struggled to recover.
In Jack's arms, Su Yueming and Tessa clung to him desperately. Tessa cried out, her voice shrill with panic. "Jack! What do we do now?!"
Jack's eyes blazed with desperation. "What the hell do you think we do?! This freak is way beyond us! We run!" He charged forward like a madman, heart hammering, lungs burning. Survival was the only thought in his mind.
Optimus Prime rose from the rubble, his gaze heavy as he witnessed the devastation. "To awaken him… was it wrong? Or was it right?" His voice carried both guilt and conviction.
"Of course it was right," Galvatron snarled, dragging his broken frame toward the sea. "Optimus Prime, this isn't my battle. The losers today are you, not me. I'll return another day."
"Galvatron! Don't think you'll escape!" Optimus Prime shouted, forcing his battered body to pursue him, blade scraping against the ground as he gave chase.
But Shura King ignored them. His burning optics locked on Jack. "CONQUER!" he roared, transforming his left arm into a massive ion cannon. With a whine of charging energy, he fired.
BOOM!
The earth split apart. A massive explosion shook the entire city, dust clouds blotting out the sky. When the smoke cleared, a gaping crater more than a hundred meters wide scarred the battlefield. Flames licked its edges, the ground still molten.
At the crater's rim, Jack staggered to his feet, his body battered and burned. His clothes were shredded, his muscles trembling. He had barely survived—if luck had tilted even slightly against him, he'd be nothing more than a smear at the bottom of the pit.
Not far away, Crosshairs struggled, missing an arm and with part of his head armor torn off. He stumbled toward Jack, leaning heavily on the Sword of Judgement.
"Damn it!" Jack spat, his face twisted with rage. He glared up at the Shura King towering above them like a god of destruction.
"Jack…" Su Yueming pulled Tessa up from the rubble. Their hair was disheveled, their faces streaked with ash, their clothes ripped nearly to rags. Both looked like survivors dragged out of hell.
Crosshairs limped forward, each step echoing his determination. "Boss… what now?"
Jack's eyes hardened. "Crosshairs, you take them and go. This monster… I'll deal with him!"
"No way in hell!" Crosshairs growled. "We fight together!"
"Jack, I'm not leaving you!" Tessa cried out, tears threatening to spill.
Su Yueming's voice cut through the chaos, sharp and furious. "You kidnapped me, and now you're telling me to just run while you throw your life away?! You think I'll let you get away with something that cowardly?!"
Jack roared back at them. "What the hell are you saying?! Against Shura King, you're nothing but ants! Staying here is suicide!"
"You bastard!" Su Yueming snapped. "You think I'll just run away while you—"
Jack's face twisted with frustration. "Do you think I want this?! You think I don't want to run away with you all?! But if someone doesn't hold this monster back, none of us survive! Damn it, stop being stubborn and go!"
Crosshairs locked eyes with him for a long, painful moment. Finally, he tossed the Sword of Judgement toward Jack. "Boss… then live. Don't die here." With his one good arm, he grabbed Su Yueming and Tessa and started pulling them away.
"Jack!" Tessa screamed, her voice breaking.
"You bastard!" Su Yueming shouted through tears she didn't even notice falling. "If you live through this, I swear I'll make you scrub floors for me! Don't you dare die here!"
Jack raised the massive sword and pointed it at Shura King. "Hey! Over here, you overgrown lizard! Daddy's waiting for you!" His heart pounded, but his will was unyielding.
"CONQUER!" Shura King bellowed, his flaming sword crashing down.
Jack leapt aside, the blade smashing into the earth and splitting it like a canyon. Dust filled the sky as Jack vaulted upward, charging at the monster's waist.
CLANG!
The Sword of Judgement struck Shura King's armor, but not even a scratch remained.
Jack's eyes widened. "What the—?! What kind of armor is this?!"
The truth was cruel—Shura King's body was forged from the combined strongest armor of the Dinobots. No ordinary weapon could pierce it.
"CONQUER!" Shura King roared again, transforming his arm into an ion cannon once more.
"Shit!" Jack cursed. His shield manifested over his arm, glowing faintly. Though small compared to a Transformer's size, it had the ability to absorb and redirect enormous amounts of energy.
BOOM!
The cannon fired. Jack braced, the shield absorbing some of the force—but the power was overwhelming.
He was flung backward like a broken doll, smashing through skyscrapers one after another before finally slamming into the ground with bone-crushing force. He rolled and tumbled until he skidded to a halt, rubble collapsing around him.
His right arm was crushed, half his body torn apart.
"The shield… broke," Jack whispered, a bitter smile tugging at his lips. "Guess I'm screwed."
Shura King stomped forward, every step shaking the ruined battlefield.
"Hateful!" Jack roared, his left fist trembling. "Am I really going to die here? My grudges… my revenge… none of it settled yet! Damn it all!"
With sheer willpower, he forced himself upright, blood dripping, his body barely able to stand.
"POWER!" he screamed at the sky. "Give me power!"
Around him, the wreckage of more than fifty man-made Transformers trembled, their broken frames shivering as though answering his call.
"CONQUER!" Shura King bellowed again, raising one enormous foot and slamming it down toward Jack—
