Death's Head - I do not own Transformers or Death's Head. Mattel, Hasbro, Marvel U.S. and Marvel U.K. have that honour. Also, I apologise from the start in regards to this chapter, as to it's length (or lack of) and other things as well. I wrote this one, nursing a severe hang over, broken leg and the extreme annoyance of my girlfriend and twin sister. Hmm, perhaps I dhould say EX girlfriend and EX twin sister. Anyone know how to get in touch with a certain freelance peacekeeping agent, and see if he can 'help' me deal with them, yes?

On Cybertron, near the Rad Zone :
Death's Head and Raiden climbed down from the abandoned hangar, where the 'VULTURE' was parked, and glanced over the barren landscape. Raiden sighed.
"Never thought I'd be back home Death's Head, especially HERE of all places!"
Death's Head smiled at his partner.
"No one comes to the Rad Zone. Well, except someone with a death wish, yes?"
Raiden picked up a broken shard of metal and hurled it away from him.
"Or if they're crazy. A couple of Decepticons and Autobots fit that bill."
"Tell me, when you were with the Decepticons, did you fight against any of the Dinobots?"
"Yeah, a big, crazy and ugly one, called Grimlock, I think." Raiden paused "Tough bastard too. However, being shot in the back by Sixshot and Scourge, does take a lot out of someone. The most annoying enemy or ally I've had, would be the accursed Pretenders."
Death's Head nodded.
"THEY are annoying, yes? Instead of fighting one, in reality your fighting two." He paused "Still, they're easy to beat, if you know how."
"Take out the pretender shell."
"Exactly. Any pain felt by the shell, is transmitted back to the mech who resides within. Neural feedback paralysis. Then you can finish them off, close and personal, yes?"
Raiden looked at Death's Head, from the corner of his optics.
"You wouldn't happen to know what happened to Skullgrin and Iguanus, do you?"
Death's Head patted the shott blaster, mounted on his leg. Raiden chuckled.
"I should've known."
"They were in my way. I was after Scorpononk, but because of those four idiots, he got away." Death's Head looked at Raiden "They won't be getting in my, or anyone else's way again, yes?"
Before Raiden could reply, they both heard the high pitch whine of jet engines. Death's Head ducked into a abandoned building, whilst Raiden widened a hole of the ground, and jumped inside.
Death's Head watched the Decepticon patrol fly overhead, and waited until they had gone, before calling out to Raiden.
"Raiden! Where are you! Raiden!!"
Raiden's voice echoed out from the hole.
"Yeah, I hear you."
Death's Head walks over to the hole and peers down. He can just barely make out his partner's form amid the darkness.
"Why did you go down the hole? Why not hide in the building like I did?"
"Heh, heh, you know me. I like to be different." Pause "Umm, a little help please?"
Death's Head chuckles "Sorry kid. You dug the hole, you get yourself out. I'll be damned if I dig you out, yes?"
Raiden mutters something not nice.
"What was that?"
"I said : You go on and meet with the client. I'll make my way back to the surface, and meet you back at the 'VULTURE'."
"Sounds like a plan, yes?" Death's Head turned and started to walk away "Have a nice trip."
"Go shove a electro spanner up your caboose!!"
Death's Head laughed as he walked away. Raiden could look after himself. All HE had to worry about was the client.
**************************************************************************** ****************
Under the surface of Cybertron :
Raiden snarled as pulled his leg free of the debris and rubble, and promptly fell on his face. He pulled himself to his feet and snarled.
"I really, really, REALLY HATE CYBERTRON!!!!"
Raiden glared amid the darkness, then looked back up at the opening. It was just big enough for him to fall through, but not big enough for him to climb back out. He shook his head, and increased the night vision of his optics. He saw an opening, leading deeper into Cybertron. He sighed and headed down the tunnel. As he walked, he cursed the new leader of the Cybertron Decepticons, Bludgeon.
"Damned Bludgeon. I should've put you in your place, when I had the chance."
The floor gave way, and Raiden fell through the new opening. The jets in his feet flared, and his descent slowed. He looked around him and saw the old tunnel system of Cybertron. He smiled as he remembered hearing about this place. The tunnels stretched all over Cybertron, an old emergency escape system. He swung around and landed in the opening of one such tunnel, and as his sensors stretched through the darkness, he sighed.
"Well Death's Head, look's like I'm coming after you again. Knowing the 'client' like I do, this job could be a set up."
Raiden noticed the tunnel was big enough for him to fly through in his transformed mode, so he transformed into his fighter form and flew through the tunnels at breakneck speed. On his sensors, he detected Death's Head, heading towards what had once been Iacon, but now had been slagged thanks to the insanity that was Galvatron. Galvatron, leader of the main Decepticon army banished to Charr, formerly the great Decepticon leader, Megatron, had sunk further into his insanity. Raiden smiled to himself. Galvatron would be in for a surprise, if he knew the former commander well. Ratbat, who had once been in charge of the Decepticons, had ordered Soundwave, to prepare a special mechanoid for him. Raiden had been security for that lab, and had gotten along with Soundwave quite well.
For a time, Soundwave and Raiden were partners, much like Death's Head and himself. Soundwave would teach Raiden about a lot of military hardware and knowledge. Raiden had looked up to the older Decepticon as a mentor, and treated him with respect. But when Galvatron appeared, Soundwave went along with him, leaving his research and Raiden. Raiden could never understand what possessed Soundwave to follow that mass of paranoia, that was Galvatron, and quite frankly, he didn't care. On Farrix 5, Raiden had obtained the final piece he needed to finish Soundwave's work. As much as he enjoyed working with Death's Head, Raiden was a Decepticon, and he had to stay true to his programming.
"Sorry Death's Head. You'll have to achieve this mission on your own. I have to finish what I started ages ago."
Raiden sped through the tunnels, picking up speed, as he headed towards what was left of Soundwave's old lab, ironically, the same lab that the traitorous Starscream and his partner Skyfire had used a millennia ago. Inside, was the one thing, which would bring the true destined one, back to his rightful place. And as ambitious as Raiden was, he hoped and prayed he was doing the right thing.
After all, messing around with Time, does leave a lot of opportunities to do damage.
***************************************************
Death's Head - Hmmm, I had to do something with Time travel. Galvatron, Scourge and Cyclonus travelled back in time, as did Rodimus Prime, Arcee, Ultra Magnus, Wreak Gar to find the three renegade Decepticons and bring them back to the future. And, another regular time traveller is Death's Head himself. I mean, he was originally 30+ feet tall, then after the destruction of Unicron (Again, reason being Unicron's head had drifted towards the planet of Junk, where Unicron managed to enslave the Junkions, and had ordered them to graft his head onto their planet, so he could recreate himself.) when Death's Head, had found the Junkion's leader, buried under a pile of rubble, and the explosives he had placed nearby, counted down. Eventually it exploded, and DH, who had found Wreck Gar, was blasted into a time rift, where he encountered a certain Gallifreyan, Doctor Who, who had tricked DH, and managed to shrink DH down from 30 feet to a measly 7 feet. Phew, that strained my memory quite a bit. If you have been following this story, this one has borrowed from the Marvel U.S. and Marvel U.K. timelines. (Personally, I like the Marvel U.K. line.) Next chapter will be up soon, and hopefully better. Promise. R&R please.
