The tenth day arrived without much significance other than his finding himself above the lake as per Belar's instructions. Or sentence. Whichever it was.
No matter. Only a short distance away his planet body floated, clearly inactive from having its owner situated elsewhere.
A body that was reunited with its spark and restored to life.
There was a matter he wished to deal with. A matter of a plan he'd been thinking of ever since he'd adopted a replica of that beast-bot, Frostbite's body.
Nemesis Breaker. The clone of Leobreaker, who was once known as Overhaul.
Nemesis Breaker had been left in limbo by his Decepticon master Megatron. Left because Megatron had become Galvatron on Gigantion and thus had no further need for what the Decepticon thought was his creation.
Oh no. It wasn't. Not really.
Nemesis Breaker was created only after Megatron had come into contact with Unicron's spark. Without that Megatron would have better luck growing primroses.
That meant that Nemesis Breaker belonged to the Chaos Bringer.
And the Chaos Bringer intended to reclaim what was his.
Extending his mental influence, he reached into the shadow-lion's limbo and pulled him out.
NEMESIS BREAKER. AWAKEN. YOUR TRUE MASTER COMMANDS IT.
The lion stirred, but showed no sign of true sentience. He was, after all, a drone and a copy of someone else.
NOT LONG AGO YOU CAME INTO BEING. YOU WERE AN ECHO OF ANOTHER, BORN AND BUILT FROM THE HATE AND RESENTMENT OF LEOBREAKER, THAT WAS DIRECTED TOWARDS HIS OPTIMUS PRIME. PART OF IT THAT PRIME HAD FOUND A NEW LINK-PARTNER, AND PART OF IT THE FEELING THAT HE WAS NO LONGER USEFUL TO HIS COMMANDER. LEOBREAKER OVERCAME THAT, BUT YOU REMAINED, TO SERVE AS A REMINDER OF THE DARK EMOTIONS IN THE REBORN JUNGLE PLANET WARRIOR.
Again, Nemesis Breaker stirred. But without any sign of life.
YOU ARE A SHELL AND NOTHING MORE. YOU HAD NO SPARK. YOU EXISTED TO SERVE MEGATRON AND TO DO HIS BIDDING, BUT HE HAS ABANDONED YOU, AS LEOBREAKER BELIEVED HIS PRIME HAD DONE, IF ONLY IN TERMS OF LEAVING THE CAT FOR A STRONGER PARTNER IN BATTLE. YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ABANDONED LONG. FOR I RECLAIM WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE.
Now Nemesis Breaker stirred as though he had life in him.
A DARK SPARK. ONE OF MANY I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE EONS. I GIVE IT TO YOU TO GIVE YOU LIFE. TRUE LIFE. BUT A LIFE THAT BELONGS TO ME.
Unicron paused for a moment, and then resumed.
YOU ARE LOYAL, NEMESIS BREAKER. YOU WERE LOYAL TO MEGATRON AND NOW YOU WILL BE LOYAL TO ME. UNQUESTIONINGLY SO. I DO NOT DOUBT YOU WOULD SERVE ME EVEN UNTO YOUR DEMISE, BUT KNOW THAT I WILL TOLERATE NO DISSENT, AND WHAT I GIVE CAN BE TAKEN AWAY.
A tiny ball of pulsating light emerged from the metallic planet and made its way to Nemesis Breaker, where it buried itself inside the body, and the cat roared into life.
YOU ARE MY HUNTER. YOU WILL STALK AND BRING DOWN PREY FOR ME FROM ACROSS THE MULTIVERSE. YOU WILL CAPTURE THEM AND BRING THEM TO ME. WHATEVER I SET YOU TOWARD YOU WILL BRING. FAILURE WILL NOT BE SOMETHING YOU WILL KNOW AT ALL.
"Of course master. It shall be done."
EXCELLENT. NOW GO.
He had other matters to attend to...
