(Note:these first two or three chapters will be short. It is purely to establish the locations and the situations both sides find themselves in.)
Chapter 1- first contact
The Nemesis burned in it's destruction on the impact. Starscream was the first to awaken. He struggled to lift himself up off the floor of the ship. His comrades were under the twisted metal and burning debris. And Megatron, his husk was under the most debris. Which made the devious con smile. After the eons of being Bullied by his tyrant master, he is finally free.
Soundwave was the second to wake up. His body was protected from impact via his monitor, so he stood up a little easier than Starscream. He saw Starscream standing inside the ship. He was aided by the second in command in clearing some of the wreckage from the escape hatch. Neither one of them said a word. Getting out of a burning death trap filled with explosive energon was clearly the first order of business.
Shockwave was third to snap out of stasis. His sole optic gazed upon both Soundwave and Starscream moving the debris. He pushed himself onto his feet and aimed his arm cannon. Both Soundwave and Starscream hear the winding plasma building up behind them. They both find Shockwave aiming at the hatch. They jump out of the way in time to miss the blast. The metal either evaporated or was pushed out the hatch. Either way, the hatch was open.
"You fool, you could have terminated me!"
Starscream shouted. He paid no mind to Shockwave after that, he was far too curious to find out where in the universe they had landed. Shockwave stepped out of the ship and surveyed the land.
"You're plan to blow up the Autobots was illogical, Starscream."
The calculating con said as he stared at the enviorment.
"My aim was accurate precise."
Starscream turned to his ally.
"Please. With one eye and a bad aim, I had no choice. You should have spent more time in the field, or at least a firing range instead of some cramped laboratory."
Shockwave looked into the distance.
"Illogical, my brain is more useful in a lab. Save the fighting for the weak minded."
Starscream took the insult personally. He walked up into Shockwave's face and began shouting.
"Are you calling Megatron weak minded? Are you calling your new leader weak minded?"
Shockwave's expressionless face said it all. Pure idiocy coming from the second in command. To think Megatron let some egotistic con take to such high authority? And new leader; has Megatron died in the crash?
"Under what ground do you elect yourself leader, Starscream?"
Shockwave asked. Starscream let out a short gasp.
"Why, the death of our leader. Megatron has perished in the crash, a tragic blow to the deception cause."
Said Starscream in his sarcastic and dramatic tone.
"And being second in command, that's what gives me the ground!"
He shouts. But Megatron was alive. Soundwave helped carry his master outside of the ship. To starscream's surprise, he is placed in his current rank yet again. Megatron let out a deep nearly growling sound as he gazed upon his second in command.
"Starscream, I still function!"
He screamed at scream. Shockwave turns to his master.
"Lord Megatron, this planet is unknown to our records. It is carbon based and signs of life are abundant."
Megatron took his first glimpse of this strange planet. Organic life was the lowest of the low. Weak, fleshy, easy to squash at the slightest thought. Megatron took a look at the crashed ship.
"Lord Megatron, Astrotrain is still in there."
Starscream reminded him. Megatron just stared at the wreckage. He became angry, cursing the Autobots for ruining his grand escape. He gazed at Starscream, it was his plan. He towered above Starscream as he walked toward his second in command. Starscream began to walk backwards quickly, avoided Megatron.
"Uhh, lord Megatron. This.. This was your plan!"
He argued. Megatron grabbed Starscream by the throat and slammed him into the tree his was attempting to cower behind.
"This was YOUR plan!"
He yelled into Scream's faceplate. He threw Starscream on the ground.
"And now our ship is destroyed."
He said kicking Starscream in the stomach as he was on the ground. He flipped onto his back.
"And now..."
Megatron raised his cannon to Starscream's face. Starscream began to plead for his life.
"Please master! The Autobots would have killed us, the crash that led us here was just by fate. They are probably dead now."
Megatron charged his cannon, then lowered it. Starscream picked himself up and sat on his knees, laughing and nearly kissing his master's feet. Megatron kicked Starscream in the head, forcing him off his leg.
"Spare your petty pleading, Starscream. The only reason you are not pieces on the ground is because I must ration all of our energon supply. A supply YOU almost destroyed with your recklessness!"
Their conversation was cut short. A small force of small vehicles came into the field. The cons turned around to find small creatures climbing out of their vehicles. They were shouting at them, aiming their tiny weapons at them. Megatron aimed his cannon, the rest of the cons took aim as well. But soon they realized their ship was entirely surrounded by these fleshlings. Megatron lowered his cannon.
"Save your energon, there are too many of them. And activate your universal translators. There has to be some sort of frequency that atones to these primitive fleshlings."
Then one of the creatures stepped out of the lead vehicle. He looked up to them with a penetrating stare. He barely took a step out of the vehicle and turned to a soldier.
"Contact Berlin, the Fuhrer would want to see this."
