The Metal Forest Part 6  

Megatron smashed a wolf's head against a tree, sending the pieces flying in all directions, until two other wolves jumped on his back and used their claws to pierce his armor.

Megatron, now completely irritated, threw himself backwards against a tree, crushing the two wolves and stunning them, giving him time to use his sword to rip off their heads with his fencing skills. "DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME DOWN? I AM THE PREDATOR HERE!"

"YOUR TIN HEAD MIXED WITH TERMINATOR!" I shouted, raising a Cybertronian-looking 80-centimeter spear in my hands, which emitted a powerful glow that caught Megatron's attention and caused the rest of the wolves facing him to back away in fear at the sight of the glow.

The spear in my hands was obviously made of the same metal alloy as a Cybertronian, but the material I created it from wasn't what was important, but rather the ability of the spear itself. That it was a key linked to the forest, allowing master control within the confines of the flora of that place.

It may have been my first relic creation, but it was already powerful enough to act as a great lure for this Megatron to believe that this weapon was the source of power he so desperately sought.

"YOU WANT THE SINGULAR ENERGON SO BADLY, HERE IT IS!" I shouted, spinning the spear several times on its axis and thrusting the tip of the spear into the ground, causing a pulse of energy to cover the entire forest, causing the trees to begin to glow brightly like a Christmas tree, causing the flying Cybertronians to move away, thinking it was some kind of weapon or surprise counterattack from the forest itself.

The tree trunks began to transform, creating an energy conductor that sent lightning bolts toward the largest tree in the forest. The top of the forest acts as an electric fence, making it impossible for anything to get in or out unless it's through a portal.

The giant tree began to slowly transform, increasing in mass until it was over 500 meters tall with a circumference of 50 meters. There was a great pulse of energy at the top, slowly charging as if it were a walking bomb about to explode.

Megatron looked in awe and wonder at the giant tree, which made its size seem insignificant, but he felt the great power that was being generated, a power that could easily change the course of the war in favor of the Decepticons. "What did you do?" Megatron asked, not quite understanding Lux's plan.

"I wouldn't stay in this forest for the next ten minutes if I were you." I said, feeling a small bead of sweat fall from my head. "Just as Energon can flow within a Cybertronian, giving them life and strength, in large quantities it can destroy their biometrics and systems."

I pick up the spear from the ground and hand it to Airachnid, who accepted the relic with some trepidation, noting that the weapon began to change its mass, adjusting to her size, reaching a length of 180 centimeters. When the spear finished adjusting to Airachnid's size, it emitted a glow that allowed Airachnid to return to her battle mode state, taking her completely by surprise, even more so Megatron.

"This is amazing! It feels like my body is repairing itself." Airachnid said, feeling the pain in her body slowly disappear and feeling refreshed.

Megatron looked at the weapon, confused as to how it had appeared, but that the weapon was indeed powerful and that even he could feel the great amount of energy coming from it, but before he could begin to speak, his communicator picked up a radio call from his own ship, Nemesis.

[[Lord Megatron, energy spikes have exceeded tolerable levels. In 9 minutes and 28 seconds, the forest will emit an energy collapse harmful to all Cybertronians.]] Said a Decepticon, seeing absurd numbers on the Energon radar.

"You damned human, you want to kill us all!" Megatron roared in anger as he realized what Lux's plan was.

"I have no problem surviving the excess Energon in the forest, but your tolerance and compatibility to dark Energon cannot save you from an Energon-rich environment without frying your operating systems." I cross my arms, still watching Megatron carefully and seriously. "You sold your soul to Unicron, don't expect sympathy from me."

The Master Tree began to spit lightning bolts in different directions, causing a small earthquake that opened cracks that emitted white light from beneath the ground.

"I still have a few minutes left, do not underestimate me." Megatron walked menacingly toward Lux and Airachnid.

"I don't think so, with the injuries from your fight with Airachnid and the animals in this forest, your tolerance time has been drastically reduced." I pointed to the master tree that had previously become the pillar of energy stability when I accidentally cyberformatted the forest molecule by molecule. "You should have about 3 minutes tops."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr..." Megatron aimed his cannon and fired at Lux, but his attack was easily reflected by one of Airachnid's claws.

"Airachnid, use your mind to command the forest, as long as you have the spear in your hand, you can command the forest freely." I said, seeing that she seemed to understand my words.

"Very well." Airachnid pointed her spear at Megatron, the tip glowing green. She made a single movement and metal roots came out of the ground and headed towards the Decepticon leader, hitting him and throwing him against some other trees at the back of the forest, disorienting him due to the unexpected impact. "This is much more practical than I thought."

"Airachnid, we need to get out of here now. Your armor may be enhanced, but even you are not immune to all this excess radiation." I warned, feeling that the Master Tree was evolving and slowly absorbing my power as Cybertron to develop its ability to support life in large numbers. "My presence in this forest is directly interfering with the energy of this place. If I continue here, the energy pulse could spread beyond the forest and cyberform the entire continent."

"What exactly was your plan?" Airachnid asked, grabbing Lux with one of her hands.

"I intended to create an order that would isolate the forest from the outside world with a barrier that would prevent anyone from gaining access or escaping once it was complete." I admit, seeing how the main tree was emitting more light from its trunk and branches, seeming even more overhead.

"What do we do then? How do we get out of here before the energy pulse? We're in the middle of the forest!" Airachnid was alarmed, understanding the situation.

I looked at Airachnid, and then at some of the animals in the trees who were watching from a distance, as if they didn't care about the critical situation. "I have an idea, but it might be very strange for you, but you'll get used to it later."

"What are you planning?" Airachnid looked at Lux and saw that his eyes were shining.

"I'm going to unlock the maximum potential of your T-Cog and upgrade you." I raised my hand, which emitted a small glow. My mind was transplanted with mechanical and biomechanical information to restructure Airachnid's body."I will allow you to reach one of the most advanced stages of Cybertronian evolution."

"Wait... what do you mean?" Airachnid was shocked, not even imagining what Lux was planning for her.

"I'm going to unlock access to your maximum potential, along with a power similar to the Ancient Transformers, to get us out of here." I said, taking the base specifically from the powers and abilities of the Master of Change, Amalgamous Prime, to enhance Airachnid. In order for her to survive the energy pulse, I must use the time before the energy blast to modify her body to not only make her virtually immune to the radiation, but also to enhance the cloaking ability that Amalgamous Prime has mastered by virtue of having the most advanced T- cog of the thirteen original Primes.
