[b]Carbombya: Tarantulas' Best Day Ever[/b]

In his dark lair the overlord looked on at the scene gravely annoyed. It was only a matter of minutes before Megatron could target the pathetic cities power generators and knock all command and control off line. At which point they'd have to decide whether to leave the cultists to their own devices or... directly puppet them all. He could not wait till Megatron came to him looking for a fight. He was going to enjoy giving him the Primal Prime treatment.

"Yo Tarantulas, Bludgeon wants to talk to you." Sideways pulled him out of his thoughts.

"What for? We're a little... busy at the moment."

"No kidding. You know we wouldn't be in this mess if you'd upgraded their stupid city like I said in the first place."

Oh here he goes again... "We've been over this like ten times already, we needed to keep a low profile so no one suspected us. How was I supposed to know a Transtech would show up and finger this hellhole as the best place to start looking?"

"Eh whatever, you know I'm right." Now the annoying dimension hopping double agent was pushing his luck. "So what do you want me to tell the crazy samurai dude?"

Groaning Tarantulas relented. "Put him through so we can get this over with and get back to business."

A slightly distorted hologram appeared before Tarantulas. 

"So Tarantulas, how goes things in the multiverses biggest joke?"

He could see this was going to be a fun conversation already... "Things could be going better."

Bludgeon was shocked it sounded like Tarantulas was having difficulties. "That's odd... all resistance I'm meeting, if you could even call it that, is falling with minimal effort."

"What? I had a Transtech randomly show up, dragging the Megatron from my time with him, and try to ruin my plans and everyone is just rolling over for you? I call BS."

"A Transtech? Really? And your Megatron? If that's true I wish I'd taken your assignment. This place is a joke. We've even nicknamed it Boringverse. You should check it out when your plan finishes blowing up in your face there."

"Shove it, my plan has worked flawlessly. The cult has already set everything in motion. Now we need only await the other anomaly to appear and the end of everything shall begin."

"If you say so Tarantulas." And with that Bludgeon severed communications.

"Smug bastard."

As soon as he uttered those words the city went black and all his camera feeds ceased.

"Oh great..."

There was no way Sideways was going to want to micro manage all the shoes via direct networking and honestly neither did he. Guess they'll have to sort things out for themselves.

"So... it seems right before the power went out we got attacked by someone else. I have no clue who it was though." Came Sideways wonderful news over their person to person communicators.

"Did you at least have time to set up a counter attack?"

There was a pause while Sideways decided how to answer.

"Uuuuuuuuh, maybe..."

One of those days it seems.

"By the way, since my position here has been rendered moot I'm taking a vacation."

He has to be kidding...

"Sideways..."

"What? I was only here to pretend I was a double agent if someone found us and stab them in the back. I can't pull that gag on a Transtech and you know it. So I'm going to Shanghai."

Tarantulas rolled his eyes at this ridiculous reasoning. "I'm probably going to regret this but... why Shanghai?"

"Simple! I've always wanted to go and I need to do it before everything is destroyed."

"But..." Honestly it wouldn't matter if he did it or not since once everything was destroyed he wouldn't exist anymore. "Ah whatever, I don't even care anymore."

"That's cool, cause I'm already there. Have fun!"

It was obviously going to be one of those days...
