Chapter Three
Deep space voyager
The infinite cosmos is disrupted in the wake of Quickswitch's interstellar engines. The green hull plaiting of his jet mode is glinting in the space light.
His early warning sensors detected the Decepticon base and automatically activated his stealth minicon. His body is captured in a yellow glowing wired frame cuboids grip and then he shimmered out of existence becoming undetectable to technological sensors or an individuals optics.
The bases defenses are at a minimal level but Quickswitch could not risk raising any alarms forcing his way in as per his signature entry to Deceptions structures, he hung back laying in wait betting his minicons would hold out until a an opening appeared allowing a Decepticon ship to escape. He ceased this opportunity and his thrusters began a dull rawer an they fired up for a short impulse burst gently propelling him into the base with no power as not to set off any energon detectors and then gently settling down inside the hanger bay away from anywhere in the large area where he could be detected while n stealth mode.
He waited one breem tll all activity in the hanger had ceased at which point his patches of him became visible in his jet mode which slowly merged together until he is fully viable again and he changed back into his mech mode.
Walking over to the exit his hand swapped into a small square device. He scanned the door with it for a few seconds , which made it glow red until it made a beeping sound and glowed purple at which point the door opened from the centre revealing a corridor.
"Hmm, looks like the 'cons aren't that hot on security in the middle of no where." Qucikswitch mused ti himself as he began to walk down in the darkness or the corridor, which is dimly lit in a purple glow. The standard colorings of Deceptions architecture.
As Quickswitch walked along he followed the map which had been downloaded into a LCD screen on a raised pannel on the lower part of his left arm. Two dots glowed at the end of the segment of passage he was making his way along, the pannel folded back down into his arm and he once again activated the stealth function, watching as the two blips from the display got closer.
"Misfire and Triggerhappy, maybe things are abit more serious here then I thought if these two aew enlisted." He thought to himself as the two 'cons walked dangerously close to him as they past.
Misfire, a red mech with wings coming out of his back and little fins form the side of his legs, stopped as they just pasted Quickswitch and looking around abit confused.
"Hey, Triggerhappy? Can you sense anything around here?" He asked his blue colored partner.
"Glitch, Misfire!" The experiments they are doing in this place are slaged up there's weird stuff all around here."
"I still got a bad feeling.. come on, we still gotta report to the commander."
Quickswitch relaxed as misfire and Triggerhappy walked into the distance and around the corner. He then carried on to his destination.
As Quickswith continued down into the depths of the space station he avoided a few minor guards until he passed though an area which set off his internal sensors.
"I detect bio-signatures, but where?"
He intensified his scan further and discovered a room to the left hat was not his map.
"Huh, this location is meant to be filled with Energon distributors, nothing else is meant to be here?"
His hand once again disappeared and swapped into a blow torch and he cut a circle into the wall big enough for him to fit though. The centre of the circle dented inwards as he kick it, pushing the wall though and he quickly reared his guns to what he might meet.
As he stepped though the hole into the next room nothing could have prepared him for what his optics would behold.
Rows and rows of humanoids strung up into bio-capsules! Floating inside the units of water their limbs were connected to wiring and various parts of their bodies had robotic parts attached or simply replaced. They were all bald and had breathing apparatus attached.
Quickswitch simply steared at them until he remembered where he was At which point he rushed over to where the nearest console is and accessed it looking for information.
"Headmaster process to increase reaction time, Target master process to increase weapon accuracy and outpout, Powermaster process to increase offensive and defensive efficiency, all subject have been made comatose to lessen chances of resistance to the binary bonding process." He read out loud in disbelief
"Those damn 'cons! I'm gonna make 'em pay!" Quickswitch growled though gritted teeth.
With his destination in mind he ran the rest of the way unstealthed with his guns drawn, shooting every guard on the way. This raised the alarms but Quickswitch didn't care about the loud sirens sound and lights flashing between purple and red. He had one thing on his mind, total destruction!
After he left a blazing trail of destruction in his wake he finally made it to the core of the station. It is the power core of the entire station. The décor is as sparse as the rest of the station, just necessary consoles and panels. All these are around the outside of the room as a shrine to the power generator as the centre of the room.
The core is a giant glass-like ball with masses of glowing light inside, illuminating the room. Quickswitch compared to the core was about five times smaller and had what looked like hundreds of thick wires suspending it and pushing it up, forming an arch shape above and below it.
Quickswitch looked at it and excitedly said "This is gonna be one hell of a firecracker."
A panel in his leg automatically opened up, he reached in and took out a small square device. The device flew out his ahdn and slip across the floor as an electrical bolt hit it.
:You caused a lot of trouble so im gonna have fun killing ya."
Quickswitch turned around to see a white and blue mech holding up a rifle in his hand.
"Slugslinger." Quickswitch growled, "I'm gonna tare your head of."
"Just try it." Slugslinger said as he fired off another shop, Quickswitch dogged it and jetted forward, grabbing Slugslinger's arm and disarming him in the process. As Slugslingers weapon fell to the ground Quickswitch uppercutted him into a near by control console which exploded in a shower of sparks. He quickly recovered and delivered a flying kick into Quickswitch's chest, knocking him backwards. Slugslinger went for a roundhouse kick with the other leg but Quickswitch blocked this and switched it back on him by spinning around and delivering a backhand to Slugslinger to the side of the head.
They traided several more punches and became quite close to the power generator, Slugsliner lunged at Quickswitch pushing him up against the core, holding Quickswitch in place and pushing the side of his head against the core. The back of Quickswitch's head began to melt from the extreme heat, he could feel his face plating begging to mold against the core burning into his face.
"Im gonna enjoy watching you die Autobot." Slugslinger gloated.
There is a strain of grinding gears from Quickswitch and then he managed to turn his head to face towards Slugslinger and struggled to say,
"Not today Decepticon."
Quickswitch then sued his feet to push Slugslinger away and then he right hooked him so hard that Slugslingers entire body swiveled around facing the other way. Quickswitch grabbed Slugslinger around the shoulders and kicked him in the back of the legs so he fell to his knees. With Slugslinger facing away from him Quickswitch tightened his grip around Slugslingers with one arm and with the other hand he grabbed under Slugslingers faceplate and put all his might into ripping upwards.
There is a sound of machincal strain for a few seconds and then an explosion of sparks from Slugsligers neck. The result is Quickswitch's cranial unit being severed from his body and held in the air like a trophy.
Quickswitch hten held Slugslingers head in front of his face and smirked;
"Told ya I would rip your head off."
He then discarded the head like rubbish, tossing it to the floor and then found the explosive device again. Attaching it to the core of the generator he set a timer and it began to countdown. His body began to shift shape and his limbs snapped into place until he turned into a jet again. He hovered in the ai as he aimed his guns at a wall and let his canons rip a hole thought them making an escape path the outside of the station, he immediately charged up his engines and accelerated.
Shards from the wall out the hull of the station spued out as Quickswitch blasted his way to the freedom of space. A few seconds later there is a huge rumbling from the station followed by a massive explosion. The station is engulfed in flames and the explosion carried on expanding, catching up with Quickswitch who managed to ride the event horizon tll he was clear.
He turned around to get a visual on the station and saw the fading of the explosion and from behind the debris flew two jets, one blue and one red.
"Misfire and Triggerhappy, how the glitch did you two survive?" Quickswitch angrily asked over his radio.
"Didn't think we were gonna let you waste our buddy and let you get away with it did ya?" Triggerhappy said as he let both side photon-pluse canons rip at Quickswitch which makes contact on the left wing, causing Quickswitch to move violently for a few seconds but the nest shot by Misfire went quite wide giving Quickswitch the time needed to recover and he jetted away from them.
"Glitch, Misfire! Can't you hit anything?" Said a fuming Triggerhappy as they gave chase.
Quickswitch boosted upwards and then down between the two Decepticons. Misfire's shooting is all voer the place but Triggerhappy is close and he fired so many rapid shots that it was difficult for Quickswitch to evade. As he went between the Triggerhappy fire followed right behind him but Quickswitch time it so the path would be directly between the two Decepticons and Misfire was hit pointblank by Triggerhappy in the side.
"Misfire! No! Damn it Quickswitch, I will rip you apart!" Scowled Triggerhappy.
Quickswitch hadn'h finished his plan off yet and looped around under Truggerhappy and blasted him with full weapons fire, highly damaging him and incapacitating him.
Quickswitch transformed back into robot mode and gloated;
"who's going to rip who?" He laughed, then pain tore though his body as he is hit with an ion particle blast and is sent hurtling though space. The last thing he herd before he went into status lock was Misfire saying with glee;
"Hey, Triggerhappy! I actually got him."
