"You see Starscream, with the creation of more positions below me,"Megatron said explaining why Starscream lost his place as second in command,"The Decepticons have become more efficient from militaristic, political,and economic standpoint. If there's one thing those humans that rally under the "American" name can do, it's make a functioning government."
"But Megatron," Starscream pleaded,"Those humans are still useless insects. What use are there ideas to us?"
"Cybertron's golden age was a Democracy, with a few changes to remain in control we can bring it back, I've already watched my city of Kaon breath back to life and will be restored fully in 20 solar cycles." Starscream knew he was beat. "Report to Blitzwing,"ordered Megatron,"I must speak to my science department."
The gray warlord,finally with peace and quiet and headed for the labs, was not to happy with his scientists, particularly the one in charge.
"Of all the things that He's created, it's a plague whose origins we don't yet know that that separated the people of Earth."Megatron said to himself. "Unfortunately that meant the Decepticons lost is main energy source. Shockwave had better have an explanation."
Meanwhile, on Truk island, the Decepticons reestablished their foothold on earth, with Astrotrain ordering a base hidden below the island to continue harvesting earth's resources.
"Scraper does his job well, doesn't he?" Astrotrain said in praise of the constructicon's work of hiding a fully operational out post below an island.
"He wouldn't have been made decepticon general contractor if he wasn't the best," agreed Smokecloud. The triple changer and his henchman where very pleased with what they had to work with.
"Almost feels like they moved a piece of cybertron itself here." Replied Astrotrain. The con behind it all came up behind them.
"I'm glad you all appreciate it. It wasn't the hardest thing I've ever done but one of the more important. It's ready for inhabitants at your order."
"Then start bringing them in."
"Wheeljack, are you sure this Aquila Mobility device you developed works?" A reluctant Sideswipe inquired being used as a lab rat.
"Of course it works! I built it." Gleefully replied the mechanical engineer. Sideswipe scoffed at that."Is there a problem?"
"Well knowing how you built those dinobots…"
"You are never gonna let me live that down are you?"
"Look at me! I'm Wheeljack! I make stupid robots to finally feel intellectually superior to others!" Mocked Sideswipe. Wheeljack responded by shoving him into the harbor, much to Sideswipe's surprise, he could stand.
"What do you know it does work," Sideswipe acknowledged Wheeljack can make something that works every once in awhile."Now we can finally do something to help the ship girls!"
"It's about time,too" Nagato piped up. Wheeljack turned and looked down.
"Why Miss. Secretary! When did you get here?" Nagato looked up.
"Just now, I came to inspect the commotion down here."
"Just friendly Autobot activity. Also Agenant Fowler was looking for you." Nagato nodded.
"I'm aware. That's something else I was looking for."
"I'll help,just let me finish with Sideswipe," he said turning his attention back to the water, "You should be able to transform, the system will adjust itself and allow you to drive across the water as if you were on the road."
"Okay, but if I sink, Perceptor's fixing me." Taking a few nervous breathes, he swapped into his vehicle mode,"Hey this works too! Look at me go," he yelled skimming the water at full speed.
"Ah there you are Nagato, I could've rode across Texas in the time it took to find you." Agent Fowler approached from the direction of HQ, tailed by a young man in an almost identical uniform."Mr. Trump and the Japanese Government have agreed to let you receive some American tin for helping Prime the day." Nagato gave a smug smile turning and facing him.
"I'm honored," she responded," Who's that with you?"'Fowler put his hand on the man he had with him.
"This is who I'm trusting to make sure you get to Washington in one piece," Fowler pushed him forwards,"He's still young but a lot like me. Nagato, meet agent James." The young agent nervous smiled, "Go on and shake her hand, it's not like you're meeting up for a date." Fowler ordered. James stepped forward and took her hand.
"It's an honor to be doing this, Ma'am." Nagato gave off a very stern look.
"I'm entrusting you will keep me safe?"
"Don't worry I will."
Back on Cybertron, Megatron had finally gotten a moment with Shockwave.
"So you're telling me you have no idea where the Abyssals came from?"
"Affirmative" assured the Purple cyclops.
"Then what is that?" Megatron pointed at what was clearly an abyssal in a test tube.
"Patient 666158. I had one of minions capture her in order to experiment on her. Logic dictated that if I did this on my own, you would take the findings as goods. I illogically did not calculate you coming across my Patient so early." Megaton looked pleased.
"I understand, Shockwave. Wanting to please me as usual. You may continue."
"I have found something of interest."
"And what might that be?"
"Certain types of abyssals, such as 666158 here, have regenerative abilities, much like red engeron." Megatron looked intrigued. "It is unknown why but I will find out and report to you, it is only logical."
"Of course it." Megatron acknowledged,"If you'll excuse me, Astrotrain needs my presence." Megatron stormed out. Shockwave looked back up at Abyssal.
"He doesn't have a clue what you are and will die to find out."
