Chapter Seven
Megatron had been prepared for this, after Soundwave had alerted him to Shockwave's treacherous actions. He had sent a private comms to his men, and Soundwave activated the ground bridge. Megatron using brutal skills as a gladiator charged Shockwave; he gave a mighty roar sending his fist into Shockwave sending him into the ground bridge. His Vehicons and Insecticons managed to knock the Predaking into the ground bridge, but not before Predaking impaled several Vehicons and Insecticons mortally wounding. He also managed to injure Megatron's intact servo, which Knockout quickly saw too.
"Decepticons, we will ground bridge to the Nemesis, and then we are finding Optimus, and ending this war we will need his help to defeat Shockwave and Predaking and those clones." Megatron remarked.
"Master, are we even sure he will trust us?" Starscream asked.
Megatron turned toward Starscream, his expression pained and grim.
"I do not know, but we've got to try, we are at odds and look what happened. Perhaps if we are together as one, we can finally get things done right," he said.
"What about this planet?" Knockout asked.
"I want nothing more on this planet, but to stay online, now head for the Nemesis, that's an order," Megatron growled.
Soundwave locked on and sent the ground bridge to the warship, everyone headed there without a second thought. Megatron had Soundwave lock on to the Jack Hammer's position seeing how Shockwave had said it took off without Wheeljack. Megatron had Wheeljack's body brought onboard the ship, he wasn't sure why he had it done, he just did.
"Lord Megatron, we have a lock on the ship, and its coordinates." One of the Vehicons replied.
"Good, set course for its location, we will intercept it. And perhaps, we will learn if they know where Optimus is," Megatron said as Knockout walked up to him.
"Sir, come to the medical bay, so I have stop that bleeding for you," Knockout said.
He nodded.
"Alert me, when you find the ship," Megatron ordered.
Megatron hoped he could reach Optimus, and he prayed he could reason with him. He had done some despicable things in the past, things he was not proud of he hoped Optimus could forgive him.
(With Shockwave and Predaking)
Shockwave roared in anger, but was suddenly addressed by the one rogue Con he had found int the ruined Autobot base.
"Shockwave, what a pleasure it is to see you again," Airachnaid remarked coming out of the shadows. "I must say thank you for releasing me from that stasis pod," she remarked.
Shockwave nodded.
"Pledge your loyalty to me, and I will see to it you are rewarded handsomely," he said as she glanced over at Predaking.
"Deal," she said extending her one servo to him, as he accepted it without haste.
"So, who else is on the team, and who are we killing?" she asked.
"We are killing Optimus Prime and Megatron, and the rest of the Autobots and Decepticons who stand in our way of conquering this whole universe," he said as the spider femme laughed and Predaking roared.
"Perfect," she snarled. "But Arcee is mine," she snarled.
"So be it," Shockwave answered as they turned and headed to their lair for the clones and for a power play to end all power plays.
