It is early evening in the Axalon. Slasher Red is in her quarters snarling softly to herself. She had a battle with Onyx Primal that nearly killed her. To make matters worse, she is unaware that she is carrying a virus in her that makes make her hate in general. The snarling does not go unoticed, Nibblix can hear her friend's angry snarls.

Nibblix leaves her room in hamster beast mode and runs non stop to the lab she created. "Poor Red, there must be something I can do to help her." Nibblix uses her scanner to run an analysis of the powder she scraped off her friend. She falls on her rear when she learns what the powder contains. The powder she learns is none other than a weak form of the hate plague. "Primus, no! I better have Red quaranteed until she can be cured of this mild strain of the plague."

Slasher Red leaves her quarters and runs none stop all the way to the control room. She leaves the Axalon to be alone. Slasher Red rests in a nearby forest. She watches the animals run from her in fear. "Growl, what is making me do this? I bet the Predacons infected me with something. That would make alot of sense. They want me out of action because they fear me. Well this time I am not running away from a battle. I am going to teach them not to mess with me."

Meanwhile, in the sky not far from Slasher's location, Waspinator and Buzz Saw are patrolling the area for Maximal activities. Waspinator spots Slasher Red in the open area. "Wazzpinator seez female Maximal. Wazzpinator will bring her back to Megatron and he will be pleazzzed with Wazzpinator." Waspinator hovers above Slasher Red, "Wazzpinator, Terrorize!" Waspinator transforms into his robot form and fires a few stingers at Slasher. Slasher Red snarls and evades the attack. "Slasher Red, Maximize!" Slasher Red fires a couple of optic blasts at Waspinator and does not miss.

Slasher Red groans and lays on her side, the blast took a lot of energy out of her. Buzz Saw quickly helps Waspinator when Red is down. He quickly retreats the area carrying his best friend. Slasher Red growls, "Cowards stay and face me."

Nibblix runs into Slasher Red's quarters and gasps at the thrashed room. The room looks like a tornado hit it. "Oh, no! Slasher Red has left and she is unaware that she is ill. I must find her before it is to late." Nibblix runs into the control room, Rattrap and Tracker are present. "Guys have you seen where Red went. I could not find her anywhere." Tracker looks up, "Nibblix, what is wrong?" Nibblix sighs and answers his question, "Tracker, Slasher Red is carrying a hate plague in her system. This particular strain is not contagious but it will prove fatal to Red if we do not find her. Slasher Red will die if she is not treated soon." Tracker's optics widen, "Fear not Nibblix for I will help you find Red." Nibblix smiles because Tracker is a very caring individual. She vaults onto his back and holds on tight. Tracker flies out of the Axalon.

Dinobot enters the control room. He is in a foul mood because Slasher Red was harmed in a battle. "Vermin, where is Slasher Red? I can not find her anywhere in the base." Rattrap glares at Dinobot, "Chopper face, Slasher Red left the base in a rotten mood. Another thing, Nibblix informed me that Red is not well, a plague has invaded her system." Dinobot snarls, "Say no more vermin, I am going to find Red." Dinobot leaves the Axalon in search of his mate.

Buzz Saw places Waspinator into the CR Bath. "Buzzz Zaw will go see Megatron and tell him about Redzzzz attack." Waspinator nods his head and blacks out. Buzz Saw enters Megatron's throne room. Pteryxia and Megatron are discussing current issues when Buzz Saw interrupts them. Megatron glares at Buzz Saw, "What is it Buzz Saw? You are interrupting a meeting and I am not pleased about it." Buzz Saw hovers in the air, "Megatron, the Maximal Slasher Red is near our territory. She attacked Wazzzpinator for no reazzon. Buzz Zaw retreated since Wazzzpinator got shot. Buzzzz Zaw wants to get even with the she raptor."

Megatron smiles, "Excellent news Buzz Saw, Pteryxia go and deal with Slasher Red. That female Maximal has caused me nothing but trouble these last few cycles." Pteryxia cackles evilly and bows to Megatron, "As you wish my Lord." Pteryxia leaves Dark Side in search of Slasher Red. Megatron strokes his chin, "Yessss, with Slasher Red gone, defeating the Maximals will be easy."

Slasher Red is hiding in the bushes waiting to ambush any foolish Predacon that will head her way. Red fights the anger that is building up inside her. She is losing the battle due to the advanced stage of the infection. "Grrrrr, what is going on with me? All I feel is a uncontrollable rage." Slasher lets off a warrior cry and rushes into the open.

Pteryxia transforms in mid air and enters the area where Slasher Red is. "Hi Slasher Red, what is wrong with you? Allow me to put you out of your misery once and for all." Pteryxia fires poison darts into Slasher Red's hide. Slasher screams in pain, it causes her anger to boil over. Slasher Red leaps into the air with her cyberslasher spinning. She manages to cut one of Pteryxia's wings off. Pteryxia screeches and lands on the ground. "Maximal, you shall pay dearly for that." Pteryxia fires more darts at Slasher Red. Slasher Red dodges the attack by doing a flip into the air. She fires her optic beams at Pteryxia. Pteryxia is to slow so she is shot. Slasher Red growls triumphantly and stabs Pteryxia with her sword. Pteryxia lets off a high pitch scream when the blade goes through her laser core.

Megatron hears his beloved Pteryxia's anguished scream. That is enough to drive Megatron into the battle. Megatron runs full speed and rams Slasher Red from behind. Slasher Red lands against a tree and hits the ground. Megatron looks around for Pteryxia and finds her on the ground bleeding severely from the wounds she received from Slasher's attack.

Megatron transforms and kneels next to Pteryxia. "Pteryxia, please say something to me." Pteryxia looks up at Megatron weakly, "At least I got to say goodbye to you." Pteryxia's optics turn off and she dies. Megatron is broken hearted about this. "Pteryxia, Nooooooooo!"

Megatron turns and faces the fallen Red. He aims his T-Rex head at her and fires. The blast fatally wounds Red. "Maximal, you shall pay for taking from me the only thing that meant something to me. Now you shall die!"

Tracker, Dinobot and Nibblix arrive just in time to see Megatron fire at the fallen Red. The trio all say, "Slasher! Nooooo!" Megatron laughs hard when the Maximal femme goes limp from the blast. "It is too late to save her Maximals, I got even with Red for killing my mate." Megatron retreats laughing, "Victory is mine, yesss."

********

Dinobot, Tracker and Nibblix look down at their fallen friend. Dinobot looks to Nibblix, "Is she Nibs?" Nibblix looks at Dinobot and Tracker, tears are flowing down her cheeks. "Yes, Slasher Red is gone. The least we can do is return her to base so I can study her. I need to know about the plague that claimed her." Dinobot and Tracker carry Slasher Red back to the Axalon. Nibblix walks back to base slower than usual. She sighs because her best friend is dead.

********

In a nearby valley a stasis pod has landed. A mysterious Maximal emerges from the pod and looks around. He looks into the night sky and howls.

********

Is this truly the end of Slasher Red, and who is this mysterious Maximal?
