Rise of a Destron
As promised, I made season 2! Due to several things I'm doing, season 2 may or may not end up slightly longer than season 1, which is a mistake on my part. Anyway, please enjoy chapter 1 of a new season!

Rodimus held it in his hand. A small souvenir from the last large battle the Titans and Autobots had against the Decepticons. Something that always reminded him of the battle at the quarry. Tarn's mask. It's only been a couple of days after the battle to prevent a massive invasion. Life was back to normal. Rodimus walked to a shelf in his hab suite and stood the mask up. The mask was slightly damaged, one of the lenses broken and several chips dotting the surface. There was a crack between one of the eye holes. Rodimus put it on the small stand, looking at the mask, which sat up displayed on the shelf. Suddenly, the crime alarm blared loudly, catching Rodimus' attention. He quickly glanced back at the displayed mask before rushing out the room, the door closing behind him.
The mass breakout ended almost as soon as it started. Most of the villains were defeated as soon as the Titans and Autobots got there. However, the Titans stayed at the prison for a different reason.
"Okay, I'm going to ask again to make sure I heard all of this correctly. Who did they break out?" Rodimus asked. They were at the prison, investigating a recent breakout. The prison seemed intact except for a single hole blown into the wall of a cell. The cell was much larger than the ones that held the other inmates.
"They broke out Swindle and I don't know why. They must have broken all the prisoners out as a distraction." Robin said.
"Why would the Decepticons want Swindle? Is it because he is one of them?" Starfire asked.
"Swindle isn't just a plain old Decepticon. He's an arms dealer. He could easily rearm all those Decepticons and they'll be back to fighting us in no time." Nautica explained. Raven then kneeled down to look at the debris below the giant hole in the wall.
"If he was an arms dealer, why couldn't he just break himself out? Surely he had something he could use." Raven pointed out. Bumblebee then started laughing at the comment. He looked at Beast Boy, who was also laughing.
"We had to keep him in vehicle mode, so Nautica made a device that could lock a Cybertronian into any mode they were currently in. She also put an EMP in there so that he couldn't use built-in weapons." Bumblebee said.
"Bumblebee and I took that time to star making fun of him and mocking him whenever we were bored. It's a great time killer, you guys should try it." Raven just facepalmed herself while everyone else had a confused look on their faces.
"We better head back to the Tower and be prepared for where the remaining Decepticons are next." Robin said. They then left to go back to the Tower.
Earlier, During the Breakout…
Soundwave was standing in front of the iconic building. Titans Tower. He hadn't seen a building this large since he was on Cybertron. The planet that's still at an intense civil war. He had heard from Deathsaurus that both sides were at a stalemate. When one side won, the other would win shortly after. Soundwave walked up to the entrance and began to hack the security system. Whatever security system they used, it wasn't enough to keep Soundwave out.
"I have hacked through Autobot bases that had better security than this." Soundwave thought. Once he finished, the door opened for him as if to welcome him in. He soon got to the Titan's living room, where he started to do all his work.
"Ravage, Laserbeak, eject. Operation, Examination." Soundwave ordered. The two cassettes then launched out of his chest compartment and transformed, searching around the room. Ravage eventually sniffed out a computer, signalling Soundwave to come to him. Soundwave then began to hack the computer to allow him access. Soon enough, he was inside.
"Must get files for Deathsaurus. Laserbeak, transform." The cassette obeyed his master and transformed back into a cassette. Soundwave then started to download files onto Laserbeak.
"Task is complete. Ravage, Laserbeak, return." After the cassettes returned into his chest compartment, Soundwave exited the building, the Titans unaware of what happened.
The Titans and Autobots were quickly called back into the city. They had barely stayed at the Tower before another crime had happened. They rushed to the middle of the Jump City, when they stopped dead in their tracks to what they had saw. Three colorful jets were zooming across the sky, spraying bullets and firing missiles at buidings, vehicles, and even people. On the ground below, a tank, a drill tank, and a buggy with missiles was wrecking havoc. Several buildings were reduced to rubble. Others were on fire or had large, gaping holes on them. The jets then landed in front of the ground vehicles and transformed into robots. The ground vehicles transformed as well. The Titans and Autobots could see that all six had one thing in common: the Decepticon badge worn proudly by the warriors who fought for Megatron and his followers. The Autobots transformed as well, facing their foes.
"So, this is the team of Autobots that's going to stop us? Pathetic. I was expecting more." The Decepticon in the front said. He was teal in color, his helmet resembling the face of a lion.
"They are not worth our time Leozack! The only other part of their team are their organic pets!" The one to the complained. He was navy blue, with large wing-like flaps on the side of his head.
"Aw, but they would be so easy to crush! Why shouldn't we destroy 'em Hellbat?" one of the Decepticons in the back shouted, projecting his voice so loudly that Rodimus thought people on the other side of the city could hear him talk. He was orange, with two large horns on either side of his head.
"Enough! Our orders were to fight them. We want them to see who they are dealing with." Leozack said. All six Decepticons took out their weapons, which were long spear-like staffs. They then charged straight toward the Autobots and Titans. Raven levitated and threw two large trucks at one of them. The orange one dodged one of the trucks, which landed beside him. The other hit him, knocking him backwards. Raven looked to see if he was down, only to see that he had lifted the whole truck above his head.
"You like to play throw and catch, huh? Well guess what? I LOVE THAT GAME TOO!" He then hurled the truck straight at Raven, who used her magic to create a shield. The truck crashed right onto her shield and exploded violently. On the other side, Cyborg was firing at Hellbat, who vanished right into thin air.
"Yo, where'd you go!" Cyborg shouted. He started to back up, aiming his cannon in all directions, ready to open fire on the Decepticon. The Decepticon reappeared above him, and fired his blaster at Cyborg. He managed to dodge the shot, but the blast hit the ground beneath him, making an explosion powerful enough to throw him backwards onto a car. The pink colored Decepticon attempted to stab Nautica with his staff. Nautica, being more of a skilled scientist and less of a skilled fighter, struggling to fight back.
"Honestly, I haven't had much experience in hand to hand combat." Nautica said nervously. She tried her best to block his attacks, but eventually he managed to stab her in the thigh. She fell to the ground, which would have allowed the Decepticon to kill her if Starfire hadn't intervened and punched him into a building. Nautica tried to get up, but the excruciating pain in her leg made her sit back down. Starfire looked at her with concern about her injury.
"You will be okay, yes?" Starfire asked in her broken English.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. I just needed to patch this up temporarily and then back at the Tower, I'll fix it." Nautica answered with a small smile.
"Very well." Starfire zoomed off to fight the pink Decepticon again. Behind Nautica, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Beast Boy were fighting two other Decepticons, one purplish blue, the other black. The purplish blue Decepticon transformed into his drill tank alt mode and attempted to run over Bulkhead, who used his maces to try to hold him back. This served as a perfect distraction for the Autobot, giving the other Decepticon time to fire several missiles at him. Bulkhead went flying, distracting Bumblebee and Beast Boy.
"Bulkhead's down!" Bumblebee said. He activated his stinger blasters and fired a continuous stream of electrical bolts at the two Decepticons.
"Same tactic, Drillhorn?" the black one asked.
"No Jallguar, new tactic." Drillhorn answered. He then reached for his back, and pulled out his large drill. He charged at Bumblebee and Beast Boy, who were ducking and getting out of the way to try not to get hit by both Drillhorn and Jallguar's missiles. Not far from them, Leozack was dueling Rodimus. Rodimus was using his two translucent orange Energo-swords while Leozack used his staff. This reminded Rodimus of Tarn, since he used a staff made from his two tank barrels, but Rodimus soon cleared his head of this memory, trying to focus on the battle at hand. Both weapons clashed, Rodimus' swords having light, faint orange trail as they were swung around. As their weapons pushed against one another, Leozack leaned in to face Rodimus, his optics meeting that of the Autobot's.
"You may have beaten Tarn and foiled his plan of sending a whole entire army here, but you have failed. It may be small fleet of three small warships, but our superior is far more than capable of destroying you all." Leozack said.
"Really? Cause so far you haven't shown me anything new other than the fact that your head looks like a animal." Rodimus said, a smirk appearing on his face.
"Ah, but I haven't shown you everything we could do. Chest Attack!" Leozack shouted. Just then, his chest armor launched out towards Rodimus and transformed into a lion, similar to Leozack's colors. It pounced on Rodimus before slashing at his chest. Rodimus slightly felt some pain. He looked down to see three slash marks on his chest, cutting across the orange and yellow flames painted there.
"Hey, I just got that repainted!" Rodimus yelled. He was becoming distracted by Leozack's chest animal, constantly tripping over it or being pounced and slashed at by it. He eventually resorted to kicking it, but it dodged to the side and bit down on his foot. He yelled out in pain as he felt the sharp teeth sink into his foot. He started to swing his foot around to try to get the chest animal off, but it's grip on his foot was tight. Leozack laughed at the scene, not wanting to take them seriously. Unfortunately, Deathsaurus had told him to not underestimate their skill.
"It's hard to believe you were the one to foil Tarn's plan. Just watching you struggle against my chest animal makes me feel sorry for you." Leozack said. Just then, Leozack put his finger onto his audio receptor, where his communicator was.
"Leozack, retreat right now. We have the Xenothium(1) for the device. Soundwave has the files and access to their tower system. Your job is done." Deathsaurus commanded. Leozack nodded and looked back at his chest animal, which was about to pounce at Rodimus again. Leozack signalled for it to return, and it did so obediently, transforming back into his chest armor and reattaching itself onto his chest. He signalled a retreat to the other Decepticons, who nodded and transformed and left the scene. The Titans and Autobots then looked at them run, confused looks on all of their faces.
"Did they not think they were victorious?" Starfire asked.
"Maybe we actually won?" Raven asked. Windblade and Bumblebee, who were next to her, just gave confused shrug.
"Wait a second, why would they retreat now? We hardly did anything that would make them retreat, and I hardly think any of us look 'scary'" Bulkhead said. Just then, something landed in front of their faces. The impact of the object landing on the ground sent everyone backwards toward the ground. Rodimus looked up to see that the "object" was actually a person. A Cybertronian. He was blue and a head taller than the Decepticons from earlier. He had large, curved, silver wings on his back. His chest also had a smaller set of golden wings on each side of his body. The Cybertronian's helmet resembled that of an animal's head, just like Leozack and his Decepticons.
"Greeting Autobots. As you can probably guess, that Decepticon 'army' did manage to get to Earth. I can imagine your dissatisfaction of the results of your battle with Tarn(2). After all, being the commander of an army myself, I know how losing feels." Deathsaurus said. The Autobots looked in shock at the figure standing before them. Robin was the first to move, taking out his staff and charging straight at the tall Decepticon. Deathsaurus glared at him before back handing the Titan into a car. Robin groaned in pain as he laid on the hood, which was dented.
"So these are the organics that you have partnered up with? I find it funny how you Autobots seem to ally yourselves with the local civilization." The other Titans and Autobots began to attack Deathsaurus, who took out two cutlasses. Cyborg fired his sonic cannon and Bumblebee fired his stinger blasters at Deathsaurus, but he used the shield on his right arm to block their attacks. The shots fired from Cyborg and Bumblebee bounced off the shield, barely leaving a single mark on it's shiny armor. Deathsaurus fired several missiles at them, taking them both down. Beast Boy morphed into a T-Rex and charged at Deathsaurus, his mouth opened wide and preparing to chomp on the Decepticon. Deathsaurus took out his flail and swung it above his head. He launched the spiked ball end of the flail forward, where it wrapped around Beast Boy's mouth and closed it shut. He then swung the flail over so that he dragged Beast Boy across the road into the trailer of a truck. Deathsaurus then turned to see Windblade and Starfire flying straight toward him. He swung his flail at the two, hitting Windblade on the wing and nearly hitting Starfire. As Windblade fell, Starfire punched Deathsaurus, making him stumble backwards. When he got back up, he took out a rifle and fired several shots at her. Starfire dodged all but one of them, which hit her and sent her to the ground. Only Raven, Nautica and Rodimus were left standing, but then Deathsaurus got a call from Leozack.
"Commander, why are you fighting them all now? You should wait to use your weapon when all of them are there rather than killing a few of them off right now." Leozack said.
"Good point." Deathsaurus hung up and looked at Rodimus, Nautica and Raven, who were prepared to fight him.
"Good news for you three. I'm going to spare you and all of your friends for now, since I have much better things to do than kill you off straight away." Deathsaurus said. He then transformed into a dragon and flew away, laughing ominously as he did so. The three left standing watched him fly off before running to help the others.
The Titans and Autobots, who were in their holomatter forms, were all in the regular living room, discussing what they just experienced.
"Dudes, we got beaten so bad! Not to mention that we kinda failed at preventing an invasion here!" Beast Boy said.
"True, but Deathsaurus did mention that the army he brought was small. Who is this guy anyway?" Robin asked. He faced the five Autobots, who refused to make eye contact. Finally, Rodimus sighed before beginning to explain.
"Long ago, Deathsaurus started a war. His faction, the Destrons(3), threatened to create a base that could destroy thousands of planets using an invention he created, the Living Metal Destroying Cannon. The other faction, the Cybertrons(3), were fighting to prevent this. One of the most best warriors the Cybertrons had, a Cybertronian named Star Saber, fought Deathsaurus in a one on one battle that would be famous in Cybertronian history. After his defeat, Deathsaurus ran into hiding, where from what we Autobots could gather, he became rich and powerful again. He was the one that actually supported Megatron and supplied him with weapons, ships, and warriors to help him start the war that's going on right now." Rodimus explained.
'So, where is Star Saber now? Did he die in that battle with Deathsaurus, cause it's not like that never happens…(4)" Raven said.
"Star Saber survived, but no one actually knows where he is. He kinda disappeared after the war between the Cybertrons and Destrons." Nautica added.
"Well, we could try to find him. After all, he would have more experience fighting Deathsaurus considering he fought a whole entire war war against him." Robin suggested. The five Autobots then gave him shocked looks that shouted "Are you insane?".
"Never gonna happen." Rodimus said.
"Why not?" Cyborg asked.
"Dude, no one's heard from him for a long time. Not even THE Optimus Prime." Bumblebee said. They all sat in silence.
"I'm gonna look for him. We could take the t-Ship or the Lynx and go search every planet in this galaxy." Robin said.
"Okay, what part of 'no one's seen him in a couple hundred years' did you not understand? We aren't gonna find him, whether we like it or not." Rodimus said.
"Ahem, who said 'Actions speak louder than words'? Oh wait, that was you! C'mon, we can't just let that small fact prevent us from at least trying to find him." Robin argued. Rodimus sighed in defeat. He knew he wasn't going to win this argument against Robin, and he could also see the amazing benefits. Not only would they have an advantage over Deathsaurus, but they would be famous on Cybertron for finding Star Saber.
"Fine, we'll try to look for him. But that doesn't mean we will find him." Rodimus said. They all happily agreed and spent the rest of the night talking and watching a movie.
"So, you think you can rebuild this? This is a key point in my plan. Without it, it is bound to fail." Deathsaurus said. In front of him was Dreadwing, who was reading and looking over the blueprints.
"Okay, this weapon is amazing. I'm sure I can build this thing, but you sure it will work?" Dreadwing asked. Beside Deathsaurus stood Swindle, his signature grin on his face as usual.
"Yep. Hey, I even tested this thing and showed it to several top villains on this planet, who were bidding for it." Swindle said.
"Okay?" Dreadwing answered, unease in his voice.
"We already have the Xenothium and every profile on every Titan and Autobot in the database. And if they plan to add any new members, Soundwave will notify us and we would just add more people into the database of the killswich." Deathsaurus explained. Dreadwing then felt confident in what he was doing.
"Finally, a weapon that was built by me. ME! No more 'oh, Dreadwing helped with my weapon' and no more Shockwave to take all the credit!" Dreadwing thought to himself.
"Okay, I'll build it. Just need the parts to build it and it'll be all set." Dreadwing said. Deathsaurus smiled hearing this.
"I shall succeed where Tarn has failed. I will make up for my defeat against the Cybertrons. Maybe I'll find Star Saber along the way as well." Deathsaurus said.
The End?
(1): Xenothium, as Cyborg puts it, "Is dangerous and unstable". The compound is supposedly so rare and unstable that even superheroes can't get it legally.
(2): See Season 1, Chapter 13: I Came, I Saw, I Conquered
(3): Cybertrons is the Japanese name for the Autobots, Destron is the Japanese name for the Decepticons. They're basically the same thing, but in this story, the Cybertrons and Autobots are different factions, same with the Destrons and Decepticons.
(4): The last part of Raven's sentence is a small reference to the MANY deaths of Optimus Prime throughout the whole entire Transformers franchise.
Sorry if this was short, I actually hadn't planned this particular chapter very well, and I was stuck on how to try to make it not too short. Deathsaurus is one of my most favorite Decepticons,(and Victory is one of my favorite tf shows.). Anyway, hope you enjoyed it and if you haven't already, be sure to read season 1 so you understand what's happening! Please Review!
