The Abyss

Raven's body changed into its third form. Wings sprouted from her back. Horns protruded from the helmet and her tail grew longer. Her hands transformed into claws and her feet also had claws emerged. Her elbows grew slight horns. This form combined the best of her bot and beast form. Raven cut through the web and flew into a dark hole, before leaving, she turned and said, "This is far from over…" Then disappeared.

Nightscream scratched his head, "What just happened?"

"Hmmmm trouble," growled Silverbolt.

"Now what do? Megatron's still alive and this time we don't got our fearless leader to help us." Said Rattrap.

"Well I know just what I am going to do!" Growled Dinobot. "I'm going to hunt down Megatron and obliterate his spark!"

"I hear that!" agreed Depth Charged. "I'm gonna blast him into oblivion."

"For the royalty!" Inferno clicked in agreement.

"Some things just never change." Said Black Arachnia, "You three are still as hot headed and aggressive as I remember." She rolled her eyes.

Rager shook his head, "With the information we have now, the probability of finding him or his followers are very slim. We need to come up with a plan."

"Exactly," Said Cheetor. "You can't find him by destroying everything in your path. Don't let your emotion get the better of you!"

"Wow young one, you surprise me. You really have changed over the time." Said Tigertron.

"I don't care!" Dinobot said, "He is not my leader, and I refuse to take orders from that feline."

"Calm down Dinobot, no one's forcing you to listen to him." Said Black Arachnia. "Maybe we should go to the central sector and take a look at the recovered archive."

"That is a great idea. Perhaps there, it would explain what the new creatures are maybe." Said Cheetor.

"I think I remember something about shark-like creatures back in school." Said Nightscream.

"Heh, you prolly slept through that too." Chuckled Rattrap.

"Shut up!" Said Nightscream, "I napped…" he looked away.

"Dinobot, I think it's best to listen to Cheetor. Things have changed and arguing won't do us any good." Said Air Razor.

"Plus, they have been here a lot longer and know their way around the New Cybertron," said Ember.

"But I am the only one fit enough to lead our group." Said Dinobot.

"No one's against that idea. You are our leader, now that….Cynder has left us." Said Tigertron, "But I believe as of now your thinking is clouded by your emotions. It is best to keep a level head and let Cheetor run things for now."

"Grrr…hmmm fine! But when we find Megatron…he's MINE!" said Dinobot and he walked away on his own.

"Ok, now that that's settled let's get down to business." Said Rattrap. "Botanica and I will head down to the uhh… Central sector to get as much information as possible. I'm not promising anything, but hopefully we'll find out what the story is behind those Shardens."

"Ok, hey Nightscream, how about you fly to the marketplace and see if you can grab some supplies. I have a feeling we'll need it." Ordered Cheetor.

"You got it." Nightscream went.

Meanwhile, in the darkness, Raven spoke with Megatron. "I have found him, master."

"Yes, very good, now release him so that I can speak with him." Megatron said as his spark shined in a container.

Raven let go of a tiny bot that was in her hands, it was buzzing furiously.

"Buzzz….How dare you! Waspinator no like to be handed like that! Waspinator small but can still sting ladybot!" it buzzed.

Megatron spoke with the flustered Waspinator, "Waspinator! I'm sure you can recognize my voice."

Waspinator flew around for a bit and then was in shock. "Meegatron!" Then he vigorously shook his head. "NO! No! Everytime Megatron around, it means trouble for Waspinator! Waspinator no wish for trouble! Go away! Leave Waspinator alone!" He tried to fly away, but Raven caught him by his wing.

"Don't misunderstand Waspinator, I require your assistance. You need not go to battle, and you won't get hurt." Said Megatron.

"NO! Everytime Waspinator work for Megatron, Waspinator gets slagged. Waspinator quit getting slagged, Waspinator quit following you! Then Megatron took Waspinator's spark and make him do Megatron's bidding again! Waspinator tired of it, tired of everything. Waspinator never gets what he wants because of YOU! Now look at Waspinator! Nothing but a teeny tiny wasp because of Megatron! Waspinator was always loyal to Megatron, always… but Waspinator not get what he wants! All he gets is a tiny bug body!" He ranted.

"Waspinator! You are the last predacon of my team! Do you have any more need of an obligation!?"

"What team? Megatron's followers always bicker with one another. Terrorsaur always plot against Megatron, Dinobot betrays Megatron, Tarantulas betray Megatron! We all were one for ourselves! No not team at all! The only one's loyal to Megatron were four bots that were left for slag!!! Only reason why Waspinator is still alive is because he quit being Megabutt's follower! You blew up the other two bots! Waspinator leaving NOW!" He tugged trying to get free.

"Bug…you don't seem to understand your situation…" Raven said as she pointed a gun at his head. "He's not asking, he's commanding. It is not your choice to quit."

"If ladybot put it like that…Waspinator must obey…." He looked down.

"Yes…now down to business, Raven…you saw Inferno with Dinobot yes?"

"Affirmative."

"Seems like he is still alive after all. Dinobot may be alive but he's a traitor through and through. Inferno however, was a very loyal soldier. We should pay him a visit." Megatron turned to Waspinator. "Go and get Inferno to meet with us alone to the given coordinates."

"Sigh….yes Megatron…" Waspinator buzzed away and muttered to himself. "Waspinator do this, Waspinator do that. Waspinator overworked and tired of working and still not able to quit. Waspinator gonna get blown up again…"

Inferno was with Rager in the valley sector.
