Cartoon Villain War - Part Two: Round Six

(SPOILERS AHEAD)

Prologue:

Skeletor leaves with Macbeth to attend the celebration in the Britannian capital, leaving Cobra Commander in command of his forces in his absence. With Skeletor gone, Megatron and his co-conspirators decide to take the opportunity to launch their rebellion.
Xanatos is informed by his secret contact that a battle is imminent, and that the opportunity is approaching to turn the situation to his advantage.
As the celebration in the Britannian capital begins, Lelouch watches and prepares to make his move.

The Decepticon Coup: Part One
Megatron and his allies begin their coup, taking advantage of Skeletor’s absence to seize control of the capital. The forces of Cobra and the Huntsclan rally against the onslaught of the Decepticons, but with Destro’s HYDRA army backing them up, Cobra Commander’s forces may have their work cut out for them. Meanwhile, Xanatos sees the coup taking place, and has XANA weaken the capital’s defense systems, before mobilizing his own forces in preparation of an attack.

Dr. Robotnik and The Metallikats Vs Slithe, Grune, and Dr. Mindbender II
Meanwhile, Dr. Robotnik sends out his army, including his newest roboticized henchmen, to strike at the rest of Skeletor's forces and prevent reinforcements from reaching the capital. The robots clash with the remnants of the army formerly led by Mumm-Ra, and while they are more than a match for the lizards and cats, the new Dr. Mindbender has a trump card of his own, in the form of the newly created Bio-Vipers.

Xanatos Vs Soundwave
One of Megatron’s chief lieutenants, Soundwave, leads a portion of the Decepticons in an attack on New York, hoping to seize the city for Megatron. However, as the Decepticons begin laying waste to the city, Xanatos and the Steel Clan mobilize to defend New York’s citizens.

The Forces Of Slade Vs The Forces Of Destro
Meanwhile, Destro and his HYDRA forces lead their own attack, only to be headed off by Slade and the Foot Clan. Will Destro finally manage to settle the score with Slade?

Lex Luthor Vs XANA
While Xanatos’s forces are busy handling the Decepticon onslaught, XANA decides to make its move and break free of its master’s control. Luthor notices this and tries to intervene, but it may be too late…

The Decepticon Coup: Part Two
The battle between the Decepticons and Skeletor’s forces continues to rage on. Although their numbers have been reduced by the defeat of Robotnik and Destro’s forces, the Decepticons continue to fight, forcing Skeletor’s loyalists to fall back. However, the arrival of Britannian reinforcements led by Princess Cornelia and Jeremiah Gottwald succeeds in turning the tide of battle, forcing the remaining Decepticons into retreat.

Cobra Commander and Starscream Vs Megatron
While the battle rages outside, Megatron breaks into the palace, where he is met by Cobra Commander, wielding a mech suit. The two duel within the palace's laboratory, but as the Decepticon leader begins to gain the upper hand, an unexpected yet predictable betrayal (as well as some nearby technology) may spell doom for Megatron’s plans...

Epilogue:

Skeletor and Macbeth arrive in the Britannian capital for the celebration, and meet with the Britannian nobles. Meanwhile, Zuko, who is also attending on behalf of the Fire Nation, arrives to help sneak the Black Knights into the celebration in preparation for Zero’s plans. As the treaty between Skeletor and Britannia is finalized, the two emperors makes a speech to the various other rulers in attendance. However, the celebration is interrupted by the entrance of Zero and the Black Knights, who make themselves known to the world and swear to overthrow Skeletor’s tyranny. Enraged, Skeletor orders their arrest. However, Zero then reveals that he has gained access to Skeletor's weapon (having acquired the codes from Destro during their earlier encounter), before causing it to self-destruct. The Black Knights then make their escape, leaving Skeletor angered and humiliated.

Cobra Commander contacts Skeletor to inform him of Megatron's attempted rebellion, and the two discuss their next course of action.

With Skeletor's forces having lost control in New York after the Decepticon and HYDRA attacks, Slade and his forces are able to take over, as per their deal with Xanatos. However, before they have a chance to celebrate, they are surprised by the return of what appears to be the Shredder, who takes back control of the Foot Clan.

Xanatos has now been given legitimate control of New York, as well as a place in Skeletor's inner circle, leaving him in an ideal position from which to continue his schemes. However, it's not all good news for Xanatos...

Meanwhile, it turns out Megatron is not quite dead, but has instead been transported somewhere else entirely...
