5 Battle Royale

"So you're the new bot every bot's talking about, huh?"

A 17 feet tall, pink-grey transformer came over. It was none other than Elita One. Wherever she passed, all the bots saluted her with true respect, and not like the respect given to Night Shadow. Even Night Shadow saluted her. She was a high-ranking officer, after all.

"Please stop that, it is not appropriate for a high authority person like you to bow to me", she awkwardly said.

Night Shadow only smiled and said, "I would like to use the training facilities if you don't mind"

"Of course. Follow me"

Elita One turned around and started walking. Night Shadow, who was 4 meters away from her, instantly caught up with her.

Some bots looked at him with envy, respect, curiosity, surprise, and even jealousy.

The bots who seem to be jealous were looking at Night Shadow with enmity. Night Shadow knew they were jealous because of his relation with Elita One.

'Hey brother, I do not want to take your crush away from you. Please leave me out of this', Night Shadow silently told to all the bots who looked at him with jealousy.

Night Shadow now understood why women were the cause of all troubles.

(Author's note: To all females please take this as a joke ^_~)

Night Shadow shook his head and followed. Elita One and Night Shadow did not talk much but he got to know that she was a land vehicle type, and did not talk much.

Within few minutes, they reached a huge building.

"This is the training center. Feel free to use anything you like in there. If you want more information, just call me", Elita One said with a smile and left.

The building was silver in color and "Training Facilities" was written in bright blue. Compared to the sky(the sky of Cybertron is space, of course) of Cybertron, this was quite flashy.

Night Shadow looked at the building with excitement. He could finally test the power of the Void Disintegrator Gun.

Night Shadow went inside the building through the automatic doors and saw an interior that looked even bigger than the outside but Night Shadow did not get surprised. He had already seen enough of this and knew with the knowledge of Intermediate Spacial Building, it could be possible. But Night Shadow did not care about that now.

He saw many bots going in and out of the facilities. Many were chatting, looking around, or looking at Night Shadow. Night Shadow kept moving on and ignored them.

Night Shadow did not where the shooting facilities were so he asked a bot and the bot showed him the way to it. Night Shadow thanked the bot and went on his way. While going there, Night Shadow saw many training rooms such as VR Training, Melee Combat Arena, Life and Death Arena, and so on. After 20 minutes of walking, Night Shadow finally reached the Shooting Room and went inside.

The scene that greeted Night Shadow was...

Whoosh~

BOOM!!

Ratatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata~

Click! BOOM!! Click! BOOM!! Click! BOOM!!

Pew!Pew!Pew!Pew!Pew!Pew!Pew!Pew!Pew!

BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!

(Author: You get the idea right?)

Night Shadow was overwhelmed by the noises of the guns but he was smiling. In his previous life, Night Shadow was an army mechanic and had seen plenty of things like this. Nostalgia filled Night Shadow but he got out of it pretty quick.

Night Shadow saw that the bots were hitting either still targets or moving targets. The hall was quite long. Night Shadow saw that there were bots either on his left or right side and the targets in front of him.

Night Shadow starts moving and sees an empty slot and moves over there. When he occupied the slot an imaginary screen came into his vision asking him whether he wanted a still or a moving target. Night Shadow chose a still target and 100 meters away from him came at least 50 still targets.

When other bots saw this, they smirked. They all thought he was just a newbie but the next scene paused them in their tracks. They saw Night Shadow's right hand transform into the Void Disintegrator Gun and started aiming for 1 of the targets. In Night Shadow's vision, an "X" came into view and helped him aim at the targets. He launched and bullet and the process he saw was amazing.

The gun, which was cut in half horizontally, opened up in a beautiful style and a purple bullet was created. The purple bullet, suddenly, shot from the gun and let a purple-black colored trail behind it.

Wizz~

Not even a zeptosecond later, the target was hit and vaporized. The trail that was left behind vanished and made a small void space that lasted for a microsecond. Yet in that microsecond, everything happened. A heavy suction force pulled all the targets into it instantly, the walls collapsed and almost all bots excluding Night Shadow were almost pulled into it. Although it took a long time to explain, it all happened in a flash.

A heavy silence permeated the room and everyone looked at Night Shadow as if he were some monster. The alarm in the room went out and red lights lighted the room. After a moment, Elita One and some powerful-looking bots rushed into the room and looked at the surroundings with open mouths. It was the first they had seen such destruction(excluding wars).

They looked around and saw that every bot was looking at Night Shadow. Even Night Shadow was surprised by the firepower of the gun. He underestimated it too much. Night Shadow looked around and saw that every bot was either looking at him or the gun.

One whole minute passed when Elita One asked, "Ahem, Night Shadow, could you explain what's going on?"

Night Shadow innocently said, "I was only trying my gun out and didn't expect this much firepower"

Al the bots there felt their cores about to burst out.

'Brother bot, at least sound like you were guilty! What have we done to you?!'

Elita One looked at Night Shadow then at the Void Disintegrator Gun with a smile.

She asked, "Is that the new gun for the Cybertronian Army?"

Her question made every bot look at Night Shadow with greed and expectations. But the answer broke their dreams.

"I am sorry but no. This is not for the army", Night Shadow said with a smile.

Elita One looked sad but recovered quickly and said, "Alright but please don't practice your gun shooting here, okay?"

"Alright, I won't"

Elita One let out a sigh of relief and said to every bot, "Please leave and return after 3 days if you wish to continue your shooting skills"

After that, she started communicating with some bot and left the area. Soon after, every bot including Night Shadow left the area. Night Shadow internally let out a sigh of sadness. Night Shadow did not know where to practice his shooting skills but suddenly heard some bot telling, "Hey, have you heard the winner of the battle royale?"

"Yeah, wasn't it Red Cyclops? He is so powerful"

"Yeah! His raw power is so immense...."

The chat between caught the attention of Night Shadow. Night Shadow suddenly became interested. he went towards the two bots and asked, "Could you tell me more about the battle royale?"

The two bots looked at Night Shadow with fear. They had seen Night Shadow's power in the shooting room and were terrified by it. Although they wanted to answer his question and leave, they couldn't open their mouths due to fear.

After a moment, one of the bots took courage and said, "The battle royale is the life and death match between 100 bots and the winner can ask anything from the Thirteen Primes. If the winner wins his second and third consecutive match, he may ask for two more wishes but then will not be allowed to participate again. Once you enter the match, you will not be allowed to leave unless you are killed"

When Night Shadow heard this, his eyes started shining brightly due to excitement. If he could kill all of them, the amount of XP he will get will a hundred thousand. He smiled. When the two bots saw his smile, they misunderstood it and backed off in fear.

Night Shadow said thanks before leaving. The two bots let out a sigh of relief and did not want to stay there longer.

Night Shadow was the topic of many bots there. Wherever Night Shadow passed, they would stay away from him. Seeing this, Night Shadow only smirked and left.

Night Shadow came to the exit and left towards the city.

Transformers were made to battle and were ready to accept any battle. The Thirteen Primes understood this and made a stadium where transformers could have battles and have their wishes granted. The Thirteen Primes made their wishes come true to encourage them in battles.

2 hours later, in the sky, a black-colored jet was approaching the city.

"Control Tower, this is Night Shadow. I am approaching the city. Where should I land? Over"

"Night Shadow, this is Control Tower. Transform back into a bot as soon as you pass the barrier of the city. Over"

"Copy that"

Night Shadow had been flying for 2 hours when he could see the city outline. He increased his speed to 750 km/hr and went faster.

As soon as he passed the translucent barrier, he transformed back into his bot form and landed on the ground with a boom.

'Man, I wonder how does my transforming look to other people'

Suddenly, nostalgia hit Night Shadow as he remembered the first time he saw the Transformers movie and was in awe of the transformation of the Transformers.

Night Shadow shook his head and continued moving forward. Although Night Shadow did not know where the Stadium was, it was quite obvious where it was located due to its size.

It took Night Shadow 10 minutes to find his way through the crowd and stood right in front of it. Night Shadow saw a silver oval stadium that was huge enough to fit at least 1000 football stadiums easily. But, this was only from the outside. Night Shadow started walking towards the entrance where everyone was going.

Night Shadow entered and saw a signboard showing the way to the stadium(left) and to participate in the arena(right). Night Shadow went to the right and saw a very long queue of bots. Night Shadow could only sigh and wait for his turn.

After 2 hours of waiting, Night Shadow became bored of waiting. Just when was thinking about leaving, someone called out, "Next!"

Night Shadow's face lit up and walked towards the bot. The bot was around 18 feet tall and was golden in color. The bot looked stylish if anything.

"How may I help you?", the bot asked.

"I would like to participate in the battle royale", Night Shadow replied.

The bot nodded and said, "Name and type of weapon"

"Night Shadow, Gun"

After a moment, the bot said, "Alright your match will be ready in 10 minutes. Head to the resting area if you don't have anything to do"

He pointed to the door on his right. Night Shadow thanked and left. The automatic doors parted and Night Shadow saw many types of bots there. Some were tall, some were short, some were powerful looking, some were weak looking, some were in a single color while some in different colors. Night Shadow could see all types of bots in the sitting area.

Night Shadow got an idea and said to all of them, "Hey idiots, during the match I want all of you bastards to come at me. I want to see what kind of strength you all have against me. It will take me too long to kill each and every one of you. Understood, pigs?!"

These words infuriated everyone them but they did not speak a word to him. They all swore that they would all attack him first. Night Shadow smiled internally and waited for the battle to begin.

A few more bots joined this battle and suddenly they heard, "Alright, head to the battlefield"

All the bots started moving. Night Shadow didn't know where to go, so he followed the rest of the bots. After a few minutes of walking, they enter the battle arena.

The platform which they had to go to was a silver circle with a diameter of 2 km. Night Shadow looked around.

The bots in the crowds roared with excitement, the lights focused on them, the participants took their places in the perimeter of the circle and the 30 seconds countdown started.

30!...29!...28!...27!...26!...25!...24!...23!...22!...21!...20!...19!...18!...17!...16!...15!...14!...13!...12!...11!...10!...9!...8!...7!...6!...5!...4!...3!...2!...1!...PWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNHHHHHHHH!!!!!

A loud and deep horn resounded in the arena, the crowd of bots became mad with anticipation, and the participants starting moving towards Night Shadow.

'This is how a battle should be'

Night Shadow smiled as his arm transformed into the Void Disintegrator Gun.
