Hey there! This is my FIRST fan fiction so I'm still learning the ropes... And yeah, I know, Transformers animated finished a while ago but I'm not done with it yet.
Chapter 1: Genesis
Megatron stared at the illuminated capsule, which contained a Protoform, stolen from the accursed Autobots.
"Imagine, Shockwave…" The Decepticon leader began, his voice almost a whisper. "A Decepticon warrior, born with the skill of a fully trained cyber ninja. Grown within only several cycles."
Shockwave's face appeared on a nearby monitor.
"It is a fascinating concept Lord Megatron. We will succeed this time."
"Indeed." Megatron cast his piercing gaze to the new recruit, Logik. She insisted on being part of the project to prove her worth as an intel-bot and a scientist. "Logik."
The femme stood up quickly.
"Yes, lord Megatron."
"I trust you have already established an information link with Shockwave?"
Logik's optic sensors widened and the colour faded from her faceplate. How could she have been so unprepared?
"N-no, Megatron. I-I'll do it now."
Megatron's optic's narrowed.
"Yes, you will."
Logik typed quickly onto one of the many consoles and activated the info link.
"It is done, my lord."
"Excellent." A smile tugged at the edge of Megatron's lip components. "Shockwave, are you reading us?"
The Decepticon Cyclops glanced towards his own console.
"Yes, Megatron the signal strength is… acceptable. I do believe the new recruit is capable of continuing her contribution to this project."
"We shall see…"
Logik's purple plating appeared to brighten with anticipation.
"Won't you ever give up Megatron?" chuckled a voice behind the two Decepticons.
Logik gasped and Megatron whirled round to face the origin of the sound.
"Starscream…" Megatron murmured. "What a… pleasant surprise."
"I told you this was a doomed project, Megatron." Starscream smirked. "But you obviously didn't listen to me. That is why you fail."
The barrel of Megatron's arm mounted fusion cannon began to glow dangerously.
"The reason you will never lead the Decepticons, Starscream, is that you are defeated too easily." Megatron retorted. "Only those who persist can gain ultimate power."
Starscream scoffed at this but Megatron tried to ignore him. "I admit you are persistent, but only when you are trying to dispose of me in a cowardly manner." Megatron allowed himself a small smile while Starscream pondered appropriate comebacks. Logik coughed to indicate that they were still working. Megatron and Starscream glared at her while Shockwave stared at her in admiration. No-one got the Decepticon leader's attention in such a way. Ever. Surprisingly, Megatron calmly let it pass.
"Shockwave…"
"The cyber ninja's central processor is wired up to the information transmitter, my lord. I believe we are ready."
"Begin the procedure."
Information began streaming into the Protoform's processor at the same time as the forced growth programme activated. Power cables and consoles began to spark and explode, a humming noise which rapidly rose in pitch could be heard, there was an explosion and finally, darkness fell.
Liking what you see? I'll publish the next chapter when I'm done with it.
