Transformers Aero: Episode 11
Hello fans, I have been on a writers block here lately. I have hated not having any ideas for my story.
With the addition of Shockwave to the Decepticons, The Decepticon threat has become far greater. However with the addition of Wheeljack and Bulkhead to the Autobots, it helps keep the Autobots' team strong against their enemies. Things are about to get crazy as Megatron is getting desperate for success.
Megatron held a meeting with Starscream, Soundwave, and Shockwave. They could all tell that he was not happy. Even Shockwave, who had just joined in with the team, could tell that things were not good with Megatron.
"You know why I have called you all here!" said Megatron to his top followers. "We have a big problem! The Autobots are beating us at every turn! The only thing we can say is that we have captured a majority of the energon that we have obtained from this planet and that we were able to kill an Autobot, thanks to Soundwave and Ravage!"
"Yes, Lord Megatron!" said Starscream. "Things have been shaky at best, here lately. However, I see great potential in the recent assets we have aquired. Shockwave among them."
"With all due respect to Shockwave, that isn't good enough!" said Megatron. "Now if you have anything intellegent to say, I'll be glad to hear it Starscream."
"Actually I have recently..." said Starscream before being interrupted by Megatron.
"Shut up!" said Megatron. "Things are about to change around here! A change in ranks is among things being concidered! The fact of the matter is, the Autobots have gained more than we have! And I am going to see to it that it doesn't happen anymore!"
"What do you have in mind, Lord Megatron?" asked Soundwave.
"Shockwave, you are now the first Leutennant!" said Megatron. "This temporary fix will be an avaluation of who is better for what rank!"
"WHAT?" said Starscream. "You have got to be joking...(Starscream paused and saw the annoyed expression on Megatron's face) pardon me, Lord Megatron. Your command is supreme!"
"Don't forget that, Starscream!" said Megatron. "You will be in charge of the energon for the time being! (Megatron then looked toward Soundwave) As of right now, Soundwave is the only one who will remain in his post. Dismissed! All of you!"
Starscream went to his new work station to mumble to himself.
"Megatron will think twice about demoting me!" said Starscream. "Temporary or not, I will not be replaced!"
Skywarp had been listening to his mumblings and decided to chime in.
"Well, well, well!" said Skywarp. "Looks like I was right! Megatron kicked you to the curb! When are you going to wise up and realize that Megatron is going to betray you, sometime in the future?"
"Shut up you imbusile!" said Starscream. "You know nothing about anything that is going on here! I wish you were back in stasis!"
"Ouch!" said Skywarp. "Harsh words for your own brother. Mom liked me best and you know it!"
"Hardly, she just pittied you because no one else liked you!" said Starscream. "Not me, not Thundercracker or Sunstorm! Fact is I like Thundercracker, even though he betrayed the Decepticons and is now fighting along side Optimus Prime, more than I like you!"
"Even after I brought back the info you wanted?" said Skywarp.
"Give it here!" said Starscream.
"Nuh uh uh!" said Skywarp. First admit that I did you a good favor!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! What ever just give it to me!" said Starscream as he grabbed the hand held computer out of Skywarp's hand. He studied it and a smile came across his face. "If this is what I think it is, my stature of first Leutennant will be honorably restored! I must leave at once!"
Starscream walked into the energon storage and grabbed a couple of cubes worth of it. He then exited the base to go to his destination.
Back at the Autobot base, Ratchet and Optimus were trying to brief the Wreckers, Wheeljack and Bulkhead as they joined the team. Ironhide was manning the computer, when an alert for Decepticon activity came online.
"Ratchet, come quick!" said Ironhide. "Decepticon activity is being found in Africa!"
"Oh great!" said Ratchet.
"Ironhide, can you and Bumblebee..." said Optimus as he was interrupted.
"Hold on big boss!" said Wheeljack. "Why not let me and Bulkhead go?"
"Because you haven't found an Earth-based vehicle mode, and you haven't yet completed your Earth studies yet." said Ratchet.
Bulkhead and Wheeljack transformed to vehicles, just as Ratchet had said that. Wheeljack into a White Corvette and Bulkhead into a Dark Green Dodge Ram 3500.
"You mean like these?" said Bulkhead.
"Alright you two!" said Optimus Prime. "You may go..."
"Alright!" said Wheeljack.
"BUT..." said Optimus. "Since you are not yet familiar with Earth customs or road laws, Ironhide will accompany you."
"Ironhide?" said Wheeljack. "So he will be our baby sitter... nice."
"I'll show you baby sitter" said Ironhide as he showed off his big cannons.
"Easy Ironhide" said Prime.
"No worries, Optimus" said Ironhide. "Just having some fun."
"Alright, well if you want to get to the Decepticons in time, you better quit chatting and get going!" said Ratchet as he opened the ground bridge portal for the three to go through.
The Autobots went through the portal and found themselves driving on sand in Africa, Egypt to be more exact.
"Oh crud!" said Wheeljack. "I can't move my tires on this stuff.
"It's called sand, you'll get used to it!" said Ironhide.
"Maybe your vehicle mode won't work on sand" said Bulkhead.
"There appears to be no humans within a few hundred miles from here, so I guess it's safe to use our robot modes" said Ironhide.
The three transformed and began to walk to their destination.
"I assure you, you will be able to drive on sand, if you do it long enough!" said Ironhide. "If Max can do it, so can you! His v-mode does very well on sand and yours will as well."
"I'll keep that in mind, cheif" said Wheeljack.
Starscream landed at his destination sight. Three abandoned pyramids sat untouched for many years, were right were he needed to be.
"Earth superstitions are so primitive!" said Starscream, reading a sign that egyptians put in front of the pyramid but then ignoring it, as he blasted a hole into one of the pyramids and crawled down inside. Inside the pyramid, he found just what he had been looking for. An enterance to a long lost Decepticon war ship.
He pulled out one of the energon cubes and placed it in the ship's power supply, which turned on the ship, giving him better vision within. Walking through the burried ship, he noticed that there were several Decepticon drones in stasis mode, hundreds of them. But that wasn't even the best of what he found. In a separate room, he found the sleeping bodies of some of the most elite Decepticon warriers on Cybertron. Among them, the fourth of the Seekers, Sunstorm, a yellow colored version of Starscream.
"So that's where you have been all this time!" said Starscream as he looked at his brother who was in stasis. "I believe I have uncovered the long lost ship... "The Nemisis"!" said Starscream with excitement. There were five elite pods. One had Sunstorm, the other had a Decepticon called Knockout, then in the other three, Insecticons with war tattoos.
"Jackpot!" said Starscream. He entered the last two energon cubes he had to bring all the Decepticons out of stasis. "Rise, loyal servents of Megatron! Let's take control of this vessel and take it to him."
All the Decepticons were happy to be out of stasis mode. "All hail Megatron!" they all said.
Sunstorm, gratified walked up to Starscream to catch up.
"So, what has happened since I was last awake?" said Sunstorm.
"Well, I recently got demoted...temporarily, Thundercracker joined the Autobots, and yes Skywarp is still a pain!" said Starscream. "Luckily my demotion wasn't an insult as I did get replaced by Shockwave, but never the less! I had to come to your rescue, not only to regain my stature, but to help our cause. We have been short handed as of late, and this ship plus the crew will benefit our side to win this war and take over this planet!"
"Sounds good, Starscream" said Knockout. "When do we get to meet, Megatron?"
"In due time, my friend!" said Starscream. "But first, let's get this ship out of the ground!"
The crew began to man their stations as they prepared to shake the ground and rise out of the sand with their ship.
Ironhide, Wheeljack and Bulkhead had just arrived to feel the ground shaking.
"Looks like we have found the Decepticons!" siad Ironhide.
"Time to do some crushing!" said Bulkhead.
The top of the ship began to show out of the sand, and the pryamids began to crumble and fall.
"Fall back!" said Ironhide as the pyramid pieces started crashing to the ground in front of them.
Once the pyrimads quit crumbling, they walked back into all the dusty sand that was flying everywhere and saw this monsterous warship begin to pull out of the ground.
"Time for demolition!" said Bulkhead as he led the charge inside the ship.
Bulkhead pulled out one of his wrecking balls and made a huge hole in the ship, allowing easy enterance on board. However, they were not greated with neighborliness, but rather what they were expecting, hostile attack by the drones in the area.
"Take that, Decepticon losers!" said Bulkhead, trowing his heavy wrecking balls in the direction of the Decepticons..
Ironhide used his big cannons to blast some of them back, while Wheeljack used his swords and his fire power to destroy the enemies. Wheeljack, upon beating all the drones that were around, began to head for the control center.
"Wheeljack, wait!" said Ironhide as an explosion happened down one of the halls, blowing Wheeljack back up the hall, he entered. They knew this wasn't a good sign.
Just then, Starscream and Sunstorm showed up to fight.
"What are you doing here, Autobots?" said Starscream.
"We here to blow this piece of tin, sky high!" said Wheeljack.
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" said Starscream.
"No, let me!" said Sunstorm. "I haven't had the pleasure in a long time!"
"Very well!" said Starscream as he let Sunstorm take fire at the Autobots.
Things got worse as every second they wasted, dodging Sunstorm's missiles, more drones were appearing.
"This is getting too tough to handle, guys!" said Bulkhead. "There are just too many of them!"
"I agree" said Ironhide, this is one of those rare situations where Ironhide actually felt the need to retreat. The Autobots needed them to stay alive and taking the ship alone wasn't going to be an option. "Ratchet, we have failed, bridge us back now!"
The bridge opened and Ironhide guarded it while the Wreckers went in. With them inside and the portal about to close, he made a quick jump in as he made sure that the enemy couldn't get in.
Starscream couldn't believe his eyes. He actually beat the Autobots this time. Things were looking up for Starscream as he steered the now, completely unearthed vessel to return to Decepticon base.
Back at Autobot base, Ironhide, Wheeljack and Bulkhead returned with sad faces. Optimus Prime was very proud of his comrades, despite their loss.
"Sorry Optimus, I have failed you tremendously!" said Ironhide.
"No one is at fault here!" said Optimus. "If anything I commend you for making that decision to leave before we lost another Autobot. We cannot allow that to happen anymore!"
"Ironhide!" said Jesse, who had just arrived at base with the other humans. "Glad to see you're back and okay."
"Never better, kid" said Ironhide. "If it weren't for Bulkhead and Wheeljack, I don't know how we would have faired"
"Their bravery will not be overlooked!" said Optimus.
Bulkhead and Wheeljack felt accepted after hearing Optimus say that.
"It's an honor, sir!" said Bulkhead.
"Yeah, what he said!" said Wheeljack.
"Now back to training you go!" said Ratchet.
"Come on! Do we have to train with rookies(refferring to Max and Speed)?" said Wheeljack.
"For now you do!" said Ratchet.
"Ugh!" said Wheeljack as he Ratchet, and Bulkhead went back to training.
Back at the Decepticon base, Starscream had shown Megatron his "gift".
"Well done Starscream!" said Megatron. "Perhaps I have underestimated you! You really perform when it matters!"
"Thank you, Lord Megatron" said Starscream, proudly.
"I will put you back to your previous rank, and Shockwave will continue to be our intellegence specialist" said Megatron to Starscream. Shockwave didn't really seem like he cared where he was, as long as he was doing something to help stop the Autobots.
Megatron gazed upon "The Nemesis", the ship that went missing for years.
Skywarp was outraged, however. "Yet another reason to be jealous of Starscream. Now I'll never convince him to leave the Decepticons and return to Cybertron, especially since he found our other brother, Sunstorm. No matter! Going rogue seems to be a good option for the future, but not when I am benefited right here, right now." Skywarp was clearly up to no good. No good could come from it for the Autobots or the Decepticons.
I hope you enjoyed that chapter. Megatron can now sleep happy, but it's bad news for our Autobot heroes, who now cannot afford to lose even a single comrade at this stage. As usual, I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you just read. I hope you like the direction in where this is going. I hope to get more done next week. I'll be brainstorming hard.
You will notice that Starscream isn't as traitorous in this as he traditionally is. The traitorous has been handed to Skywarp. Starscream, in this series, like in the movies is more loyal to Megatron and seeks to gain more of his approval. He will gladly back stab another Decepticon to save his own skin, but not Megatron. I have tried to not make Starscream seem so soft. Skywarp's normal cowardly personality is also rendered into him.
If you want to follow my Transformers updates on facebook, you can go like my page "Thundercracker (TFP Fan)". Any support is appreciated. Yes, I role play as Thundercracker on facebook, when I get the chance to.
With in the next few chapters, this story is going to get shaken up. I hope to finish this in 25-30 Chapters or less. Thank you for your support and God bless!
