Chapter 1

Kaon Decepticon Capital Streets

It is hard to imagine that an entire planet can be war torn, but that's how Cybertron is. Some of its greatest cities have been destroyed rebuilt and destroyed again. The Autobots and Decepticons two dull races of Cybertronians have been fighting over the land and resources for millions of years. Population has dwindled, and some have even switched sides. As a Cybertronian you can be born into one side or the other, but it is your belief in those views that makes you want to join. There is still a population that doesn't believe in either who still do not take sides.

"What are we doing here?" SolarCat asks. Having been a Decepticon for some time, originally she had been an Autobot and being in the Decepticon capital put her on edge. You might call it instinct, as she kept up with her team mates.

"I've told you several times already." Skycrasher answers getting annoyed slowly. It was obvious what they were doing. To him it was anyway the seeker thought as he ran.

"Doesn't mean I have to like it, I never really felt comfortable here." She says still keeping her sensors on full.

"Yes yes, exAutobot, we know." High Command shook his head. Being a rather prominent part of the team that SolarCat was currently assigned to he had heard her talk about it on several occasions, particularly ones like this.

"No one is going to give a slag." Skycrasher says knowing they had been to Kaon several times already.

"Let's just get to the citadel, Thundertron is already waiting for us and you know how much he likes to do that." Windcon hurried her pace a little more. For whatever reason Windcon didn't think to fly though being a pyramid seeker she was running with her team.

"Wasn't he supposed to meet up with Megatron?" SolarCat asks keeping pace.

"Exactly. Most often than not that doesn't go well. And you know it." Windcon nods. Of course that didn't stop Thundertron from sending them out on a small supply run to one of Shockwave's outposts.

"Val is there, Soundwave is there, isn't Shockwave supposed to be there too? It is his citadel for the most part." SolarCat's mind wondered.

"Yes, Soundwave and Shockwave take Megatron's side if anything was to happen, Valclaron isn't exactly in Megatron's good graces, but Thundertron can't hold his temper. Hello, Tempest!" Windcon felt like she had to explain it for the 100th time. It was true though in his younger days while Megatron had been on Earth Thundertron had blown through cities and earned his little nick name.

"I think they should just all mellow out." Substance injects as if it were no big deal.

"You would. Hurry up slacker." Windcon says.

"OUT OF THE WAY SLOWPOKES!" A nasty looking blue and black car rushes by the Amalgamated Pretense squad, laughing maniacally as he rushed onwards forcing the group to separate and bubble around the car.

Some distance behind them following was Red Accel, Datamatrix, Medicon, Gravedigger and Brutality.

"Fricking Lawless...STOP RACING AHEAD YOU GLITCHED OUT MORON!" Data curses. "Sorry Windy, that one is set to permanent slagtard mode." He says to Windcon sounding somewhat apologetically.

"So you guys got summoned too?" Red looks around his quick gaze taking stock of who was missing. "Val gone ahead?"

"You would think that if it were that important he'd fly." Windcon says. "Which is actually a good idea." Windcon transforms her fellow team mates following her example; SolarCat and Skycrasher transforming while High Command flew on his own. Really why hadn't she thought about that before fly to the Citadel nearly all Decepticons fly and even if SolarCat didn't have the standard flight systems her wings are able in both of her modes.

"Well I feel a little better." SolarCat says she preferred her Dragon mode most times, and she had learned to fight much better in it. She transforms and takes off with Windcon after stretching her wings once.

"Don't worry about it, no one cares." Skycrasher says doing the same as the girls. He though was one of Windcon's trine mates, and where she went he went.

"Well isn't that fair?" Data sighs. "Syntax?" Data transforms into his tape deck mode and the green bird that was tailing them catches him midair and flies after them.

"I still say he looks weird." Brutality says. "Bet you're gonna drive huh Red?"

"I'll beat you slow aft punks there too." Red transforms and drives off leaving skid marks on the street.

"Well, let's go." Medicon, Brutality, and Gravedigger take flight and follow. For them it was much faster to fly as they weren't racers like Red Accel.

Finally after a long moment of silent flight Windcon sees the entrance and heads down to land. Everything on Cybertron usually wasn't much of a flight from one point to another, particularly when you were told not to go far and it was Megatron's brother that was calling. "Much faster."

"Back to robot mode," SolarCat says transforming sounding as if it were a chore. She wasn't sure why exactly she didn't like her robot mode but it was certainly more comfortable to be a Dragon.

High Command touches down, as does Skycrasher. "It isn't that bad." Skycrasher says. "But then again it never is for us."

"So you HAVEN'T been here before?" Red Accel was leaning on one side of the door. "Man you fliers are so slow." He says with a sly little smirk pulling at the corner of his lip.

"Shut up Red." Data says over his comm. Datamatrix was the leader of his own little group which had included Red, so it was almost an order, but an order to a friend.

Lawless pulls up and reverts to robot mode. "I thought you were giving me a better head start?"

"I got impatient Double L, what can I say?" Red shrugs. He was a racer, and it was in his programing to go as fast as possible and then some.

"So...you're Thundertron's unit huh?" Lawless scoffs as he sees Windcon. "What did the Big M call you for?" Having been off world Thundertron's team wasn't vastly known on Cybertron.

"Actually I have been, I know a few higher ups than you might think." Windcon says with a smile. She had hung around the Citadel for many years before running into Thundertron and becoming part of his team.

"I haven't, Kaon yes, but not the Citadel, and it was Thundertron that summoned us." SolarCat says honestly. "We came planet side on a ride from Astrotrain."

High Command watches the door. "You think they'd have opened the door, they knew we were coming." He says noticing how the monitors were watching yet the door hadn't been unlocked.
