***Random stories are fun aren't they? Well this is just another "experiment story" I'm going to working on the side. My story Razor Jaws was an "experiment story" and everyone loved it, so why not try another one.
Chapter 1: Wake Up Call
"Hurry and get those machine's unloaded!" Starscream yelled at the miners, as they unloaded mining machinery from a groundbridge.
"Can you yell any louder?" yelled the much larger Tarn. Starscream jumped at the familiar voice of the leader of the Decepticon Justice Division.
"What are you doing here?" asked the shaken seeker as his wings suddenly sank down. The few miners who saw him quickly moved to get out of the intimating mech's sight.
"Just a little bored. That and Knockout didn't want to come down. You know him when it comes to his paintjob," Tarn sarcastically said. He and his team were called to Earth by Lord Megatron to track down Predaking. They weren't having any luck.
***Down in the cave***
"Move that drill over here," called a vehicon. A miner walked over to climb on to move it, when something suddenly sank its teeth into his leg and yanked into the darkness before he could make a sound.
"I said move the …..," the vehicon paused when he noticed the missing miner and beside the drill was a puddle of energon. They suddenly heard the dreadful sound of ripping metal.
"Who's there? Show yourself," the vehicon ordered as he transformed his arm into his cannon. Suddenly a set of gold eyes opened and stared at him and the miners from the darkness.
***Back outside****
Sudden gunshots from inside the cave caught the attention of both Tarn and Starscream. The miners came running out of the cave. Some of them appeared to be severally burned. Part of their metal plating looked melted.
"What the hell happened in there?"yelled Starscream. Only to be answered by a partial vehicon body being thrown into him. He let out a yelp of surprise when he saw the vehicon was missing its head. Tarn looked just as surprised as him.
"I'm sick and tired of you kind thinking you can keep invading my territory and thinking there is no consequences for it," a deep masculine voice came from the cave.
"Predaking?" Tarn called out.
Gold eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness, accompanied by a growl as a large creature emerged from the cave. Its head came out of the cave first. Horns curved up its head with a sail going down from the head and down the neck, stopping half way down. The Decepticons stepped back and watched as the rest of the creatures revealed two large membranous wings and another partial sail on its hindquarters. It had large white claws. The creature had a red body with black stripes. It opened its mouth and let out a loud roar. Revealing rows of large white teeth and a long black tongue.
"That's not Predaking," Starscream finally said when the creature stood in front of them. It revival Predaking's height, but looked like organic.
"I want you gone, now," the beast spoke in a very terrifying tone.
"Why should we leave?" Tarn asked. He watched the creature's every movement. They then heard it suck in air and suddenly blow fire at the remaining miners. Their screams of pain made Starscream cringe, but Tarn's job made him immune to the sound. The flame reduced them to partially melt piles of metal.
"You may come from the stars. Your kind is strong, but challenge a dragon and I promise you will lose," it said before giving off a snort.
"Soundwave groundbridege now," Starscream called Soundwave completely frightened of the new threat. He already had one too many memories of his encounters with Predaking.
Tarn just stared at the beast before him. He wasn't scared of the him, he was now curious. The dragon had no fear of him or Starscream. In fact the creature threatened them without a second thought. This beast was either smart or stupid, but either way he wasn't bored anymore.
Things just got interesting.
***Sorry short chapter. Like I said this is more of a "experiment story" to see if people want to read more. I kind of hope so. My dracons may make an appearance I know Shadowrunner will.
