Chapter 5 - The Butterfly Effect - Chapter 5: Triple The Threat

[Recap]

Glade could barely utter a sound after the harsh beating the Cult of Tentaculatum gave her. "guh."

The dark skinned member, Jude was his name, said, "Any last words, heretic?" As Jude drew closer, Glade could only think about her family and friends. "I can't die now! I've still got so much to live for!" Suddenly, Glade's right eye split into 3 irises, each with a color: purple, green, and red, and then the irises merged back together and started switching between the colors. Two ghostly silhouettes appeared behind her, one quite tall and wearing a green jacket, the other wielding a red knife with a sinister red smile.

The red figure throws large red energy knives at the member named Morrison, a Caucasian man of 18 years of age. Jude attempts to intervene, but the green figure fires a human-skull-shaped gaster blaster at him. The rest of the Cult members were slightly terrified, but uttered a silent prayer to Ens Antiquum Tentaculatum, and joined the fight.

[Now]

The wielder of the Omnitrix looks at the spectral figures in shock, unsure of what is happening. "Uhh... what the hell? What's going on?" The figures turn to her. "there is no time for explanations", says the green one. "for now we must fight these inferior beings", says the red one. Jude smirks. "Let's see you fools handle... THIS!" The tentacle from earlier extends from his arm and tries to wrap around Glade's arm, but the red figure cuts it off with a slightly larger knife with an intricate swirling pattern, causing Jude to scream in pain. "YOU BASTARDS! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT! ATTACK!" The cult members rushed towards Glade, but the green figure says, "you're not touching her" and then summons some bones. With a wave of the green figure's hand, the bones started indiscriminately firing at the cult members. Each bone sliced through flesh, but also seemed to pierce through their souls. Another one of the members, Julie, a Japanese-American girl about 17 years old, rushed forward to deal a powerful blow to Glade, but the green figure touched the Omnitrix dial, unlocking not only one, but an entire list of new aliens.

[Song cuts off]

Everyone is taken aback by this. Jude shouted incredulously: "IMPOSSIBLE!" Another cult member shrieked, "WE'RE COOKED!" And Glade... she was very surprised, because this playlist was the one that included Splitter. She had tried to hack the Omnitrix to unlock the rest of it, but was unsuccessful. "Okay, this... is cool." she admitted. She switched to one of the aliens in the playlist, a metallic robot with vehicle parts, specifically, parts from a Peterbilt Model 579 Ultraloft.

---------------------------

Glade is engulfed by a purple light emanating from the Omnitrix as her body turns metallic. The limbs and chassis of the robot surround her like armor, and then the head, which looks like Optimus Prime's head, forms around her head. Glade is now a 20ft tall, purple, white, and black Cybertronian with similarities to Optimus Prime and Peterbilt Model 579 Ultraloft parts.

"A Cybertronian form? I haven't seen a Cybertronian since Megatron's defeat." Glade remarked. No one noticed, but the green figure looked at Glade with an expression of sadness and nostalgia.

Glade smirks and slams her fists together. "Alright, punks. Who's first?!" Jude hesitates for a bit, then shouts "Screw this! I guess I'm gonna have to use the special power that our High Matriarch of Existence gave me!" A dark energy enters Jude's chest. He begins convulsing violently, occasionally screaming out nonsense and animalistic noises. Then suddenly, he stops moving. His body is radiating an aura of darkness, cracks brimming with energy form on his skin, and suddenly...

He snaps upright with an inhuman scream, his eyes now completely black with glowing crimson irises. His body begins to mutate, stretching and twisting unnaturally. Tentacles erupt from his back like slimy worms. His fingers lengthen into claws, his flesh warping into a half-squid, half-flesh monstrosity. Standing in his place now... is an abomination. IT speaks.

"I AM NO LONGER SOME MERE MORTAL. I HAVE ASCENDED. I AM CUTTLEFISH. ALL SHALL HEAR AND OBEY TENTACULUM'S WORD."

"COME, HERETIC. LET US DOBATTLE!" Cuttlefish roars loudly. He rushes towards Glade, but the green figure intervenes and screams, "don't. touch. MY SISTER!!!!!" Glade is shocked by this revelation, and says, "Excuse me, but I'm your WHAT??!!"
