TRANSFORMERS : DEATH'S HEAD.

Disclaimer :

Death's Head - I do not own Transformers or Death's Head. Mattel, Hasbro, Marvel U.S. and Marvel U.K. have that honour. I own Raiden and Seraphim. Raiden transforms into a fighter, similar in design to the valkyries/veritechs from Macross/Robotech. Seraphim transforms into a F-4 Phantom.

In orbit of Pluto :

The Autobot shuttle flew into a holding pattern and was waiting. Onboard, Wreck-Gar was driving Dogfight insane.

"DAMN IT!! WRECK-GAR SHUT UP!!!!" Dogfight roared, his hands on either side of his audio receptors.

Wreck-Gar laughed.

"Don't miss the fight of the century. In one corner, the heroic, the charming, the unbeaten, the indomitable, the loved Wreck-Gar!! Champion of all!! His opponent, the lowly, the mongrel, the unworthy....Dogfight!"

"That's it! I'm gonna waste him!" Dogfight snarled as he drew his blasters.

Rollbar and Goldbug leaped onto Dogfight and managed to restrain him.

"Calm down kid. Don't blow yer top!" Rollbar growled.

"Yeah, mellow out Dogfight, or you'll blow your CPU." Goldbug added.

Dogfight struggled against the two Throttlebots.

"I don't care!! That infernal piece of Junk must PAY!!!" Dogfight roared.

Seraphim sighed as she walked over an swatted Dogfight's blasters out of his hands. She then walked behind him, and landed a blow at the base of Dogfight's neck. Dogfight found he couldn't move a limb, and was motionless. He could still speak though.

"What have you done to me!?!?"

Seraphim glared at him.

"If anyone hurts Wreck-Gar, I'VE GOT FIRST DIBS, OK!?!?!"

Dogfight blinked his optics rapidly.

Seraphim ignored him, her vision suddenly distorted. She stumbled to a chair, one hand holding onto it, the other on the side of her head.

"Ugh...My...... head...."

Goldbug and Rollbar let Dogfight go, and looked at her.

"Sera? You alright?"

Seraphim nodded slowly.

"I'll.... be fine. Just need..... to rest." She looked at the chronometer "Damn! Where are they?"

Rollbar was about to say something, when a shuttle appeared, on a direct course for them. He glanced at the radar screen.

"There's Sky Lynx. And from the way he's flying......"

Wreck-Gar added.

"Flying like Bat out of Hell. Warning Will Robinson, Danger!! Danger!!"

Goldbug had reactivated Dogfight's movement articulator, and made his way to his console. He tapped a few buttons.

"Something's after them. I'm picking up scans of something..... BIG, on the outskirts of the system."

Dogfight holstered his blasters, and looked at Seraphim.

"We're both equipped for interstellar flight. Why don't we go and have a look?"

Before Seraphim could respond, Sky Lynx's voice came over the radio.

"Autobot shuttle, we need to get back to Earth immediately. A large Decepticon cruiser is heading towards Earth."

Goldbug frowned.

"How big Sky Lynx?"

Landmine's voice answered Goldbug.

"Well Goldie, let's just say, Galvatron's pulled every single Decep from Charr and loaded them on that ship of his!" A pause "Open the shuttle bay, we get on, and get outta here!"

Seraphim raised an eyebrow. The pause of Landmine's, as well as the look of Sky Lynx didn't sit right with her. She quickly scanned Sky Lynx.

Rollbar was about to lower the doors for the shuttle bay, when Seraphim stopped him.

"Don't. That's Astrotrain disguised as Sky Lynx. He's full of Decepticons."

Before Rollbar could say anything, "Sky Lynx" opened fire. The beams of energy sliced into the shuttles unshielded underbelly, ripping a hole in the hull. "Sky Lynx" dropped his facade and assumed his original form of Astrotrain. His cargo doors opened, and out flew Scourge, his sweeps, the Constucticons and Six-Shot.

The Decepticons breached the shuttle and attacked.

Rollbar drew his mortar rifle and blasted away. Two sweeps fell from the barrage, as Scourge aimed Fracas, his Targetmaster component and fired. The beams from Fracas blasted Rollbar in his shoulder joint, taking off his right arm. Rollbar fell backwards, holding onto what was left of his arm. Dogfight peppered the Constructicons with blaster fire, and succeeded in damaging Mixmaster and Scavenger.

"Damn Decepticons!! Take this!!"

Dogfight launched four missiles, which slammed into four other Constructicons. Six-Shot charged and grappled with Wreck-Gar.

"Puny Autobot! Feel the wrath of Six-Shot!"

Wreck-Gar retaliated by slamming his axe into Six-Shot's face and kicking the Decepticon in the stomach, allowing Goldbug to fire his twin blaster into Six-Shot. Six-Shot fell backwards into Scourge. Astrotrain transformed and wielding his sword, attacked the Junkion. Wreck-Gar grimaced as he fought the Decepticon triple changer.

"Unwanted houseguests from Hell! Next on Jerry Springer!"

Astrotrain growled.

"Stupid Junkion! Prepare to meet thy maker!"

Goldbug tackled Astrotrain, knocking him on the ground.

"Should watch where you're going Astro-jerk!"

Scourge fired Fracas, the beams of energy cutting Goldbug down.

"And you should watch your opponent Autobot."

Goldbug managed to pull himself to his feet, a hole in his back, as he faced the tracker.

"Sc....Scourge....I should've.....destroyed you....when you were still..... Thundercracker."

Scourge smiled.

"Yes, I suppose you should've. Too late now." Scourge pointed Fracas at the Throttlebot "Goodbye."

Before the beams could hit, Seraphim threw a chair in the path of the beams. As the chair disintegrated, she launched a missile at the Targetmaster. As Scourge fell backwards, the missile exploding in his face, she grabbed Goldbug and launched both herself and him into space. Dogfight, grabbed Wreck-Gar and followed. Scourge snarled as he watched them go. He was about to order his troops to follow, when Rollbar gasped. Scourge faced him.

"Well, your friends abandoned you Autobot."

Rollbar, leaking lubricant from his injuries, smiled.

"So. At least I get to take you Decepticons with me."

Scourge's optics went wide as he looked at the console.

"Decepticons! Retreat!!"

Scourge leaped through the hole in the hull, as did Six-Shot and Astrotrain. The Constructicons weren't as lucky.

The shuttle's reactor went critical and blew up. The heroic Rollbar, sacrificing himself, so his friends could get away and warn the Autobots on Earth.

Scourge snarled as he saw the shuttle blow up. His sensors detected the Autobots who had escaped the shuttle, trying to escape. His snarl turned into a smile. He thumbed his communicator.

"Lord Galvatron. The Autobots haven't gotten too far. Send me some more troops to hunt and destroy."

Galvatron's reply was anything but happy.

"Scourge you idiot!! I needed the Constructicons! Still, the Predacons and Stunticons will have to do."

"Just send me my Targetmaster allies. We'll find those Autobots and make sure that Dead Bots tell no tales."

Galvatron's chuckles came over the comm.

"Cyclonus, Triggerhappy, Misfire and Slugslinger are on their way. Six-Shot return. Astrotrain 'assist' the Targetmasters."

"Of course Lord Galvatron." Astrotrain replied curtly.

Six-Shot flew back to the ship as Cyclonus and the others joined Scourge and Astrotrain.

"Well, well, well, the great hunter needs help." Misfire taunted.

"Yeah, let another easy kill, slip through your fingers, eh Scourge?" Slugslinger added.

Scourge raised Fracas at the two.

"One more word, and I'll make you into what the Constructicons are now......Atomised space dust!"

Cyclonus looked to Scourge.

"Do you have their heading?"

The tracker nodded.

"Transform and follow."

Scourge transformed and flew off. Cyclonus and the others followed. Triggerhappy looked at the wreckage of the Autobot shuttle and shuddered. He transformed and followed. Blowpipe, his binary bonded partner spoke to him.

"What's up Triggerhappy? You seem to be having doubts."

"I am Blowpipe. We've never should've left Scorpononk. Ever since we did and joined forces with Galvatron, all we've experienced is defeat after defeat. And Galvatron's dementia is getting worse. I hope Soundwave got what he wanted."

Blowpipe nodded.

"Yeah, I just hope he got back to Cybertron alright. If he didn't, then we could be in a lot of trouble."

Triggerhappy didn't respond as he flew after the other Decepticons.
