Megatron vs Johnny Lawrence

Name: Megatron		Name: Johnny Lawrence
Occupation: Leader of the Decepticons	vs.	Occupation: Leader of the Cobra Ki
Origin: Transformers		Origin: The Karate Kid

Johnny blazed down the highway on his 1979 Honda Elsinore. The wind caressed his luscious blond hair and dried his damp karate gi. His muscles rippled as they were still taut from his workout. Johnny had just whipped some wimp in a sparring match at karate practice and he was on top of the world.

Meanwhile, Megatron, (in Cybertronian jet mode), raced overhead. He had just installed some new weapons systems and was itching to try them out. When he spotted the dirt bike cruising down the highway he knew he’d found the perfect practice target.

Adjusting his speed, Megatron tracked his oblivious prey and focused his rocket guidance system. With a smile Megatron unleashed a rocket and was almost immediately dismayed when it veered off course and missed the boy by several meters.

The explosion sent up a massive amount of Earth and roughage. The shockwave crashed into the dirt bike and sent Johnny sprawling. The bike slid to a stop on the road while Johnny was thrown off into the embankment where his fall was fortunately broken by a large group of sugar bushes.

Megatron cursed and descended down to where the boy lay. He transformed into his robot form and towered over Johnny. Johnny was just brushing himself off trying to figure out what happened when he heard the Decepticon approaching.

“What the hell are you? Did you cause my bike to crash?”

“Insignificant Earth creature! Do you not know who you stand before?”

“Oh yeah? Is this insignificant?”

Johnny rushed at Megatron and unleashed a wicked leg sweep. This robot may be big but Johnny knew a sweep of the leg would bring him down to size.

Of course, reality differed slightly from Johnny’s expectations. His leg sweep connected just as he planned but when he struck the hard metal of Megatron’s shin his own leg shattered.

Johnny wailed in pain. He tried to stand but his bones betrayed him. Megatron scooped up Johnny and punted him with a drop kick that would have made Doug Flutie proud.

Had Megatron cared enough to zoom in his optics to follow Johhnie’s flight path he would have seen the young man impact into the engine block of an oncoming 18-wheeler some eleven miles away.
