(Authors Notes)
Hey everyone I'm back from the dead… I'm really sorry this took so long. It seemed every time sat down to continue writing this something would come up, rather if it was work, school or something social. But finally I got it done, so without further a due lets begin.
(Fort Trondenes, Norway)
Optimus narrowed his optics as he was well aware that he and the others were in for a fight like no other, and from the corner of his vision he could see the others had realised the same thing as well. Taking a defensive step back he readied himself, as he waited for the Constructicons to make the first move. Long Haul was the first to move as he set his sights on Optimus as he charged forwards straight towards him. Hook went straight for Wheeljack, who drew his swords and began charging as well. Bulkhead and Bonecrusher as Bulkhead drew his mace while Bonecrusher drew his war hammer. Arcee and Bumblebee began firing at Mixmaster who blocked the attack with his heavy plated arms. Ultra Magnus and Scrapper began circling one other as both knew what the other was capable of. Scavenger deployed his blasters and took aim at Smokescreen who appeared to do the same.
Optimus side stepped Long Hauls punch and used the opportunity land a punch of his own, which collided with Long Hauls chin. But the strike didn't even appear to phase him as he merely raised his fist to try and land another devastating punch. Optimus once again tried to side step the punch, but this time Long Haul didn't give him a chance to strike again as he delivered a swift undercut, which sent Optimus hurtling into a Humvee.
Arcee and Bumblebee were trying to hit Mixmaster, but his superior reach proved to be difficult for them. Bumblebee tried to land a kick to Mixmaster's mid section but Mixmaster caught it, before landing a punch of his own which sent Bumblebee skidding across the ground. Arcee jumped over Bumblebee as he skidded past her, as then deployed her wrist blades. Mixmaster saw her close and readied himself for her to make her move. Arcee tried to delver a spinning roundhouse kick, but Mixmaster stepped back to avoid the attack. She then tried to follow it up with a swipe of her wrist blades, but Mixmaster brought his arms up to block the attack. Mixmaster then used the opening to kick Arcee which sent up sailing up into the cross bar of the hanger, causing it to leave a deep impression due to the force of the blow.
Ultra Magnus saw this and knew he had to help in some way to aid his comrades. He charged forward which caught Scrapper off guard, and grabbed him by the shoulder plating before leaping over him and then throwing him over himself straight towards Mixmaster. Mixmaster caught Scrapper coming towards him, but was unable to get out of the way in time. Scrapper collided with Mixmaster sending them tumbling into a light pole.
While Ultra Magnus went to help Arcee and Bumblebee, Optimus and Long Haul continued to try and duke it out. Optimus caught Long Haul's punch while trying to land a punch of his own. Long haul shifted his head to the side, before grabbing Optimus by the throat and slamming him hard into the ground. Long Haul then raised his foot high into the air as he aimed to stomp on the prime. Optimus still feeling dazed from being slammed, saw three of Long Haul and was powerless to stop what was about to happen.
Long Haul was about to stomp Optimus, but suddenly felt pain shoot through his foot as one of Wheeljack's katanas imbedded itself deep in his foot. Long Haul stumbled back clutching his foot as energon began leaking out.
Optimus rolled onto his side and saw Wheeljack locked with Hook as they pressured each other's blades with their own. Wheeljack glanced at Optimus and nodded which Optimus returned before pushing himself off the ground.
Bulkhead slammed his mace into Bonecrusher's hammer causing a shockwave to race outward.
"I see you survived the war wrecker!" spat Bonecrusher as he tried to over power Bulkhead.
"Ya… and I can see you did too." Responded Bulkhead in his own dark tone as he tried to over power Bonecrusher.
Bulkhead then pulled back his mace before trying to land a strike, but bone crusher caught his weapon in his hand.
"How did you and the other Constructicons survive?" question Bulkhead as he caught Bonecrusher's hammer and both entered a power struggled.
"Simple… Killing Autobots!" snarled Bonecrusher before forcing Bulkhead to take a step back.
Bonecrusher then swung his hammer into Bulkhead side causing him to stumble back, while clutching his side. Bonecrusher then swung his hammer in an uppercut motion, which caused Bulkhead to backflip, before landing on his back.
Bulkhead groaned as he clutched his head in pain before sitting up, and opening his eye. His eyes widen though when he saw Bonecrusher fast approaching. Before he could dodge bonecrusher reached him and slammed his knee into Bulkhead causing him to go skidding backwards.
Arcee saw this as she blocked Mixmaster's punch which caused sparks to fly. Her eyes widen when she saw Bonecrusher approaching Bulkhead who was clearly in a daze, and unable to defend himself.
Throwing a punch to Mixmaster's face to put some distance between her and him as she then activated her commlink.
"Ratchet do you read!" she asked before blocking a few punches from Mixmaster as she took another few steps back.
"We read you Arcee… what's the problem?" asked Ratchet.
"We are really going to need Scourge right now." She stated as then ran forward to try and deliver a spin roundhouse kick to Mixmaster's gut. But Mixmaster caught the kick in his servo, and then threw her back making her do a spin to land on her feet.
"Are you sure, you require him?" Ratchet then asked to ensure he heard correctly.
"Well if he isn't here in three Nano clicks, Bulk is going to be scrap!" she stated as she saw Bonecrusher now just steps away from Bulkhead, who was now starting to roll onto his stomach as he tried to stop his head from spinning.
"Quick!" she then yelled as Bonecrusher raised his hammer high into the air, as he prepared to crush in Bulkhead's head.
Bulkhead looked up and saw three of Bonecrusher, but couldn't make out what he was doing, as the pain in his processor return. Bonecrusher smirked as he knew this was going to be an easy kill, but stopped mid swing when a ground bridge opened up right in front of him.
Suddenly Scourge bursted though and slammed his tail into Bonecrusher's mid section sending him sailing through the air, before landing into a tree which broke upon impact.
Scourge let out a growl before turning to see Bulkhead finally pull himself together and push himself off of the ground.
"uuuahh… thanks." He said while still clutching his head.
Scourge gave a nod in response before turning to see Bonecrusher already getting up.
"uuaahh what hit me?" he wondered out loud before getting up to see Scourge standing in front of him.
Shock could be seen clearly on his face at seeing a predacon in front of him.
"A Predacon!" he shouted in disbelief, as Scourge growled threateningly at him.
Scourge then lunged forward as he tried to bite Bonecrusher in half with his powerful jaws, but Bonecrusher rolled out of the before transforming and driving as fast as he could to put some distance between him and Scourge, who took off after him.
"Could use some help!" yelled Bonecrusher as he swerved to avoid Scourge who unleashed a wave of fire at him.
Hook deflected Wheeljack's katana and turned to see Scourge, continuing to try and melt Bonecrusher who swerved in ever direction to avoid the flames. Blocking another of Wheeljack strikes, Hook yanked the chain drawing his Kusarigama to him before throwing it straight towards Scourge. The blade impacted Scourge which imbed and itself into Scourge's neck.
Scourge roared in pain before turning his head to yank the weapon out, despite the great amount of pain it brought. Scourge the yanked on the chain forcing Hook to fly towards him, before being sent sailing after being hit with Scourge's tail who swung it like a bat.
Hook flew into a fuel truck which exploded causing a large fireball to erupt into the air. Long haul turned to see the explosion which gave an opening for Optimus who activated his jet pack before launching himself into Long Haul, sending him flying into the flames which engulfed him. The others saw what he was getting at slowly forced the other Constructicons into the flames which also engulfed them.
The last one to enter the flames was Scrapper who continued to exchange blows with Ultra Magus. Scrapper swung a hammer fist which Ultra Magnus ducked under to avoid before sending a punch straight into Scrapper's face and launching him into the flames as well.
Everyone stared at the flames for a moment to make sure that the Constructicons were dead, and after a few moments gave a breath of relief.
Arcee turned to see energon flowing out of Scourge's neck, as he watched the flames for any movement.
"Jack!" she said in worry and ran over to him as he turned to look at her for a moment as she reached up to examine the wound.
Scourge flinched at the touch as pain briefly shot through him before Arcee removed her hand.
"Are you alright?" Arcee then asked somewhat worried.
"I'm fine Cee." Scourge replied as he appreciated her concern, even though she didn't understand what he said.
Everyone was about to leave when suddenly they heard the sound of someone transforming, and turned to see something massive standing in the flames. Suddenly a fist shot out of the smoke and flames and slammed into the ground right in front of Bumblebee, who dived out of the way before activating his blasters and taking aim into the smoke and flames.
Everyone took a step back as the figure emerged out of the flames, and to everyone's shock saw Devastator, who looked to be very angry at the moment.
Scourge was completely baffled at the sight and looked to Arcee, giving her a look that asked what was going on.
"I'll explain it later." she stated quickly as she took a defensive stance, as Devastator fully emerged.
Smokescreen was the first to act as he fired at devastator who block the shots to his face with his hands. Smokescreen then sprinted right as he continued to fire, while Bumblebee fired as well sprinting left. The other quickly activated their blasters and opened fired, as Devastator slammed his fist into the ground as he tried to squash some of the members of team prime.
Scourge finally got over his shock, and sprinted towards Devastator, before leaping into the air and landing on Devastator, who stumbled slightly due to the weight being thrown on him. Scourge then dug his talons into Devastator's mid section, as he scrapped and clawed him. Devastator staggered back as he groaned in pain as he tried to push Scourge off, but Scourge continue to claw into him. Devastator continued to stumble back, until he tripped over a tank, and fell to the ground, creating a massive indent in the ground. Using the opportunity to his advantage Scourge landed on top of him and bit down on his shoulder drawing energon while also getting another groan of agony out of Devastator. Needing to put some distance between himself and Scourge, Devastator reached up and grabbed Scourge by the throat as he continued to try and snap, bite and claw at him. Pushing himself up, Devastator got to his feet as he held Scourge at arms length, and then began to apply pressure to his hand as he clasped down on Scourge's neck
Arcee tried to help by firing at Devastator to try and make him let go, but to her shock saw Devastator started using Scourge as shield to block the shots, causing him to roar in pain. Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus ran behind Devastator and started firing from behind, in an attempt to land a few blasts, but Devastator only took a few shots to the back before spinning around and used Scourge to absorb the rest of the shots, causing him to roar in pain once again.
Scourge struggled to free himself as he shook wildly and even began flapping his wings in an attempt to get free, but Devastator just tighten his grip on Scourge's throat to the point where he began to choke Scourge.
Scourge began choking and shook even more wildly in an attempt to break the grip, but started to see spots appear in his vison, and was also starting to feeling light headed as the grip tightened even further.
Optimus saw Scourge was in trouble and activated his jet pack and took off into the air directly towards Devastator, but Devastator turned to see Optimus flying towards him and swung Scourge, hitting Optimus out of the air and into the ground, leaving a crater. Optimus groaned and pushed himself up, before looking up to see Devastator who was ready stomp on him. Optimus's optics widened as he braced for himself to be crushed, but just as the foot was about to collide with him he was tackled out of the way by Bumblebee.
"Thankyou Bumblebee." Thanked Optimus as he pushed himself up while Bumblebee did himself as well.
"No problem Optimus." Bumblebee replied before turning to reengage in the fight.
Scourge was really starting to struggle now as he was on the verge of blacking out and was starting to lose consciousness, from the grip around his neck. Seeing this Arcee's spark began to fill with fear and worry as she knew he had to get free now or he could be seriously injured or even possibly killed. Throwing caution to the wind, she began sprinting towards Devastator who turned and saw her coming as she sprinted as fast as she could towards him. Within moments she was upon him and jumped up to land on his hand that was holding Scourge and activated her blaster.
Arcee then unloaded at Devastator's hand, who finally realised Scourge who fell to the ground like a rock, and impacted the ground hard. Scourge gasped as energon began flowing freely once more, and rolled onto his side to in order to catch his breath. Redirecting her fire Arcee took aim at Devastators face now that Scourge was free, as she jumped down and landed beside Scourge, all the firing as many blasts shots as she could.
The other quickly opened fire as well now that Scourge was out of the way, causing Devastator to begin staggering back from the blaster fire as he raised his arms to protect himself. Shifting her blasters back into her servos Arcee turned to aid Scourge who was still breathing heavily, as he tried to catch a none existent breath.
"You okay partner?" she asked as he weakly opened his eyes to meets hers with his own.
"Y-ya… I'm… fine Cee." He replied weakly in reassurance even though she couldn't understand him.
Arcee continued to look down worryingly at him as she examined his throat. The damage was pretty bad as Devastator had applied enough force to actually dent Scourges plating around his neck with some areas even leaking energon.
"Arcee." Said Optimus over the blaster fire to gain the femme's attention, who turned to look at him. "How is he?" he then asked as he glanced over at her before turning to help in continuing taking down Devastator.
"Not good Optimus… he going to need medical attention." She stated as she then turned to apply some pressure to one of the wounds on Scourge's neck to help stop the bleeding, causing him to groan in pain.
Back in the middle of the fire fight, Optimus turned to study Devastator as he was beginning to think this was a losing battle, unless they found a weakness. Devastator was once of the biggest threats on Cybertron. A threat that entire armies couldn't stop, and now he along with six others had to try and achieve this seemingly impossible goal. He then turned to see that Scourge was pretty much now out of this fight, and Arcee was most likely going to stay by his side, but would still try to help if able. So that left him and the others at a grave disadvantage, in dealing with Devastator
"Optimus!" shouted Smokescreen as the rookie gained the prime's attention. "The legs! If we concentrate on his legs we can bring him down!" he told, which Optimus realised he was right.
If they took down Devastator by the legs, he would be brought down to size, and they could turn the tables of this fight, and stop the Constructicons.
"Autobots concentrate fire of Devastator's left leg." He commanded which got everyone to all fire on Devastator's left leg.
Devastator groaned in pain before suddenly Smokescreen's plan worked, and Devastator's left leg buckled causing him to fall face first into the ground in front of the autobots. Everyone encircled Devastator and continued to unload as much blaster fire as they could into Devastator, who continued to groan in pain.
Devastator knew the only way out of this was to separate back into the Constructicons, if he was to have any chance of winning this battle. So not waiting any longer, Devastator separated and quickly transformed back into the Constructicons, who formed a protective circle as the autobots surrounded them.
Off to the side Scourge saw this and was completely baffled as to how they were able to combine together to form a single massive transformer, since he had never heard the other say something about that. Let alone be able to change back into six normal sized cybertronians.
Back in the middle of the circle Scrapper knew this fight was lost, and they needed to fall back in order survive this fight. So, with some reluctance he brought his finger to his commlink and activated it, to get in contact with the war ship.
"Scrapper to the nemesis do you read?" He said as he waited for a reply.
"Nemesis… read." He heard himself say form the other side meaning it was Soundwave.
"Soundwave activate the spacebridge at my coordinates!" he then commanded as he activated his blaster and took aim at Ultra Magnus and opened fire, causing the command to dive to the side to avoid the shot.
Soundwave remained silent and opened the spacebridge right in the middle of them, which illuminated the surrounding area. Not wasting any time, the Constructicons sprinted though the space bridge as they exchanged blaster fire with the autobots, while they escaped.
Scrapper was the last one to pass through but stopped just before entering and turned to look at Optimus, with a dark gave that even sent a chill down the prime's back struts.
"This is not over Prime!" he stated darkly before sprinting through the space bridge, with it closing after he disappeared, leave only the autobots at the now destroyed base.
With the threat gone, everyone deactivated their blasters, with some bending over for a moment to catch their non-existent breath. Optimus turned to see Scourge pushing himself up with the help of Arcee, before walking over to join the other. Turning to examine the field, Optimus knew this was going to be difficult for Fowler to cover this up. He also wondered why the Constructicons even attacked this base. It didn't posses any high-grade technology so Megatron clearly didn't want anything from here, so why did they come here? Another thought was how did the Constructicons survive back on Cybertron?
"Sir?" came a voice bringing Optimus out of his thought and turned to see Ultra Magnus approaching him. "We should return to base before the natives return and our cover is compromised." He then suggested which Optimus completely agreed with.
Turning Optimus brought his finger to his commlink as he contacted Ratchet. "Ratchet… please open the ground bridge." He asked as seconds after deactivating the commlink a ground bridge opened up in front of them.
Walking through he and the other soon found themselves back at base, where he could see Raf and Miko on the raised platform. The last to enter was Arcee and Scourge, before the ground bridge deactivated and Ratchet turned towards the others before seeing Scourge's injury.
Medical instincts kicking in he rushed forward and began to examine the wound, which also got the two kids to notice it as well.
"Dude what happened?" asked Miko as she desperately wanted to know what she missed.
"We ran into some… some kind of multi-transformer!" replied Scourge who winced slightly as Ratchet touched a rather sensitive area.
Sighing over dramatically Miko turned to the other. "Someone want to explain who can actually speak?" she then asked before flinching slightly as Scourge began growling while sending her a death glare. "Hey not my fault you can't use Words." She then stated as she placed her hands on her hips.
Scourge growled again before looking at the ground in anger, as he silently tried to move his mouth to form actual words.
Miko then turned back towards the other as her eyes darted between different members of team prime before landing on Wheeljack.
"We… encountered the Constructicons." He then answered as he himself was still in complete shock, which caused Ratchet to freeze what he was doing before turning to give a look of utter disbelief.
"That's not possible!" he then stated to Wheeljack, which made Raf and Miko confused.
"Well what do you want us to say Ratchet? That we ran into terror cons." Replied Smokescreen as he crossed his arms.
"I would have far preferred you say that Unicron was returning over saying it was the Constructicons." Stated Ratchet as he shifted his gaze to Smokescreen
"Wait." Said Miko as she gained everyone's attention. "Who are the Contacticons?" she then asked, which resulted in Ratchet pinching the none excitant bridge of his nose.
"Con…Struct…icons!" he responded as he raised his hands for emphasise.
"Wait! Aren't they just some construction crew?" she then questioned, but instead of Ratchet answering her it was Arcee.
"No… the Constructicons were some of Megatron's most fearsome followers during the war. They wiped out entire armies, but they were also responsible for building some of Megatron's most deadly weapons and fortresses like Kaon." She answered as she placed a hand on her hip.
"You forgot that they form a gigantic one." Stated Scourge while gesturing with his head towards the ceiling.
"Not to mention they are combiners, and became Devastator!" added Smokescreen as he guessed that was what Scourge was getting at.
"Wait combiners?" asked Miko as she got excited at what she thought it meant.
"Yes combiners." Replied Ratchet in a rather annoyed tone. "Combiners are cybertronians that are able to transform and combine to form a single much larger one." He then continued as he explained what combiners were to Raf and Miko.
"But how are they able to do that?" questioned Raf as he thought cybertronians could only transform into vehicles.
"Some cybertronians have a special t-cog that allows it to function with others allowing the group to transform together." Ratchet then answered as he answered Raf.
"So, they group together to make a super big one?" asked Miko to make sure she heard right.
"Pretty much." Answered Wheeljack.
Before anything else could be said they heard the sound of the monitor come on and turned to see agent Fowler, who appeared to be in his chopper.
"Prime! What in the Sam hill happened!?" he demanded as it was clear he was not happy. "Half of Europe is on lock down and mobilizing their forces, thinking it was another nation, as if they are readying for world war three!" he then stated.
"Megatron has new members in his fold, agent Fowler… and it appears they attack the base simply for the sake that they could." Replied Optimus, as he walked up towards the monitor, but before he could continue another voice spoke up.
"What do you mean when you say Europe is readying for war?" came Raf's voice as he didn't understand what Fowler meant.
"Perhaps you should turn on the tv and see." Was all Fowler said in response, which got Raf to pull out his laptop and brought up a news channel on the monitor next to Fowlers.
The team turned their attention to the monitor with the new headlining 'Breaking News: Attack in Norway'. The team continued to watch as the reporter began to explain the story.
"It is as of yet unclear as to who is responsible, but it is very clear this is an intended attack of some sort. I now have James Marks joining us, James who is likely responsible and… why would they do something like this?" the anchor asked as a man with grey hair joining the picture to the left.
"Well it could be any number of things really. Like you said we simple don't know until the military gives us more information. But it wouldn't stretch the imagination to think that another nation like Russia or China or even North Korea is responsible." He replied in a calm voice.
"What makes you think that… this is an attack by another nation and not a terrorist group?" asked the new anchor as he shifted himself slightly while opening his hands for emphasis to the question.
"Well, the fact that this attack had not only happened on a military base but had also been strong enough to force the occupants of the base to retreat, is something that no known terrorist organization could do. So that leaves only one possibility and that being another nation, which has the strength and technology to do something of this magnitude." Responded James, as he continued to talk in a calm voice as to not raise fears of the audience from what was happening.
"Now… why… would any nation do something like this?" was the anchors next question.
"Well that would be the million-dollar question, since there is no real possible reason as to why a nation would do something like this, other then it could be a field test for some sort of new weapon." Answered James.
"And it would appear that your hypothesis would probable be correct, as we are now getting a report from over there with one of the soldiers saying 'it was something they never seen before'. But it now raises a question of what is going to been done, as we just learned nearly all of Europe has scrambled their forces encase of another attack and have closed their boarders to one other. James how big of a concern is this to America and… possible the world?" was the news anchor's next question which really got the team concerned.
"Well its really… its really a big concern. Perhaps one of the biggest ones in recent years. We have to remember that it was tensions like this that lead to world war one, and if any country makes a wrong move we very well could see this break out into another war of some sort." James responded, though somewhat hesitant.
"James, I would like to thank you for joining us and giving us your input on it." Thanked the news anchor, as he turned over a piece of paper before looking back up at the screen.
"Thank you for having me." Was all James said in response before disappearing as the whole screen was now on the news anchor.
"We are going to take a small break, and when we return we will continue to cover this story as it unfolds." Was the last thing said before Raf decided to disconnect and turning off the monitor.
Everyone stood there for a moment, as they took in this new information, before the silence was broken by Fowler.
"The pentagon has every diplomat out in an attempt to calm things down, and the president is half tempted to bring this war out of the dark to avoid a world war." Fowler then explained.
"Wait you mean the whole world would learn about them?" question Miko, with Fowler nodding.
"Yup, but right now the president is choosing to keep this in the dark, but only just. Prime I need you to handle this, because if something like this happens again. This war is going to get a whole lot bigger." Fowler then said.
"We understand agent Fowler." Was all Optimus replied with before the feed disconnected, with the team looking at one another not sure what was going to happen next.
Ratchet went back to treating the wounds around Scourges neck, while Ultra Magnus walked up to Optimus who turn to look at him.
"Sir… I believe the predacons skills in combat are severely… lacking." He then stated to the prime, which got a growl out of Scourge who was sending Ultra Magnus a death glare.
Over the last week, it had become very clear that Scourge and Ultra Magnus didn't like each other, and while Scourge did understand he took his hand. He still thought it wasn't enough of a reason to treat him like he was an object, and not a person. He also couldn't stand how crazy he was with the whole stand at attention and 'yes sir' scrap.
"I believe the predacon should under training before being let back into the field." Ultra Magnus suggested which caused made Scourge clench his jaw shut in anger, in order not to make things worse for himself.
Optimus remained quite as he thought about it for a moment before turning to Scourge.
"Jack, I believe Ultra Magnus is correct in regards to your abilities in combat, and as such… you will be reporting to him for training for the time being." He then said to Scourge's horror.
While everyone went their own ways to do their own thing, Scourge stood motionless as a single word came to him.
'Frag!'
(The nemesis)
The nemesis flew through the thick clouds, which looked like they were ready to unfold into a large thunderstorm. Inside the bridge of the nemesis Megatron stood at the front as he gazed out the front and watched, as the rain began to fell. He was brought out of his thoughts when the door to the bridge opened and in walked the Constructicons. The six figures walked forward until they were but a few steps away from Megatron, before kneeling.
"Lord Megatron." They all said in unison as they lowered their heads.
"Scrapper." Responded Megatron as he gained the group's leader attention. "I thought I instructed not to become entangled with the organics tell I say otherwise." He then stated which caused Scrapper to tense slightly.
'How did if find out so quickly?' Scrapper thought but before he could ask the question he got his answer when Soundwave walked forward.
"Soundwave has informed me of your little… activity, and I will not tolerate this kind of behavior again do I make myself clear?" he growled out as it was clear to them that Megatron very angry about this.
"Yes lord Megatron." They all said, as none of them were willing to test the warlord's patience.
"Good… now get out of my sight!" Megatron order with the Constructicons not wasting any time in leaving the bridge.
When the last of them had left Megatron turned around to stare out as a bolt of lightening flashed right in front of the nemesis. He didn't stare out front for long though as Soundwave soon approached him bringing his attention to the silent mech, as Soundwave looked up at the larger mech as his visor lit up.
"Lord Megatron…" came Shockwave's voice as he began to update Megatron on his project. "The last of the first batch of predacons are completed and are mere moments from being brought out of stasis." He then explained which brightened the warlord's mode.
"Excellent." Replied Megatron. "Soundwave activate the spacebridge to Shockwave's laboratory." He then ordered with Soundwave merely nodding with a spacebridge opening up in front of them.
Walking through the portal both soon found themselves inside of Shockwave's laboratory which was an abandoned mine. Walking further into the mine they entered a large opening where many tubes formed two rows lining either side of them, with a large platform in front of them with shockwave at a console.
Seeing lord Megatron Shockwave typed a few commands in the console before leaving it to greet Megatron.
Megatron turned to examine one of the fully cultivated predacons which was slowly bobbing up and down, and twitching every so often. Shockwave soon stood beside him on his left while Soundwave merely stood off to the side silently.
"The subjects are fully cultivated and I'm just about to bring them out of stasis." Explained Shockwave, which brought a smirk to Megatron's faceplate.
"Then by all means… let's see the newest addition to my army." He replied, resulting in Shockwave bowing before walking over to the console just off to the side.
After typing a few commands, the tubes containing the finished predacons lit up and the predacons began to stir. Typing in one final command, the liquid surrounding the predacons began to drain and once the last of them had drained, the tubes opened.
The first one was big, but only slightly bigger then Megatron himself. Its colours were mostly blue with patches of yellow lining it at the tip of its wings and along its legs. It had slim build showing it was geared more towards speed rather then bruit strength. Its jaw was lined with razer sharp teeth, and had two spike protruding from the back of its skull.
The second one was much more different then the previous one, as it had two heads rather then one. Its colour was mostly gold with blue lining its tail and legs, and dark purple lining its underbelly. A large horn stuck out in from where its nostrils were which looked like it could impale just about anything. The last notable feature was the short blades running down its back, with didn't holster and wing meaning it was not able to fly.
The third one was a mixture of blue and white, with hints of dark red on its talons. It had a short head, but appeared to have a powerful jaw which looked more like a beak. Its neck was shorter then the previous two but made up for it with a brooder chest. Its wings were made up individual slices of metal rather one singular foldable piece like the previous.
The fourth was very similar to the third with the main difference being its colours which were dark blue, dark gray, and small amounts of rustic brown. The other main difference was its wing design which swept forward rather then fold backwards like the others.
The final predacon didn't have any wings at all was a lot smaller then the others, and blue, silver and gold in colour. It stood on two legs but had two smaller talons on the front, which looked like they could be used to slice and tear at its opponent if it got in close.
"I am impressed Shockwave…" said Megatron with a grin, as he watched his newest beast super soldiers study him and each other.
"With your permission lord Megatron… I have already chosen designations for them, as to avoid any more lost time." Asked Shockwave with Megatron gesturing for him to continue.
"I present to you lord Megatron Skystalker, Twinstrike, Sky lynx, Darksteel, and Rippersnapper." He introduced, as the predacons as they continued to make noises at one another.
"Excellent now I have five predacons in my army." Megatron said with an evil grin as he knew the balance of power was well on the deception side once again.
Everyone was startled though when the ground suddenly shook, and turned towards the entrance as Megatron and Shockwave had no idea what could have caused it. They soon had their answer when a familiar predacon stood in the darkness on the other side of the cave.
"No… make that six predacons." Megatron then stated as the evil grin on his face only grew.
Because standing there at the front entrance of the cave was none other then Predaking. He bored cuts and gashes all over his frame, and even pieces of his metal framing were missing. He had a particular nasty bite wound on his neck, and his wing from his previous battle. But the most predominate thing about him was the look on his face which showed he was bent on one thing.
Revenge.

And done… FINALLY!
Well Predaking is back now, so that will be an issue along with the five now predacons in the Decepticon fold. Scourge/Jack is now going to be put through the ringer with ultra magnus which should be interesting to say the least, and Constructicons appear to put the world on edge so 'scrap'.
Now there is one thing I want to address and that is why Scourge/Jack and Predaking never got along in the previous story. Because I have gotten a few comments saying they should have been close friends or allies. My reasoning for this is because in predacons rising when Predaking meet Shy lynx and Darksteel he instantly put himself at the top, as the 'Alpha'. And the moment when Sky Lynx and Darksteel challenged him on it Predaking got all aggressive in order to prove he was the most dominate.
Hence "I'm not your Boss… I'm Your King!". And because Sky Lynx and Darksteel didn't have the size or strength (even together) he proved to be the most dominate.
But because I made Scourge/Jack as size and strength to of actually be a threat to his dominance, I feel Predaking would be more aggressive and harsh towards him in order to remain dominate.
Just wanted to give my input on why and show you my reasoning for it, if you still think they would have been close allies or friends that's fine. I just wanted to show you my logic on the matter.
Until next time this is the forgotten soldier 343 signing off.
