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, Seraphim, Alpha Destroyer and Citadel Supreme. Raiden transforms into a fighter, similar in design to the valkyries/veritechs from Macross/Robotech. Seraphim transforms into a F-4 Phantom. Alpha Destroyer and Citadel Supreme, their vehicle forms will remain a mystery until I reveal them (or until I can figure what they are.).

In the 'VULTURE's med bay :

Grimlock looked at Seraphim as she lay on one of the med beds. On the other bed lay Jazz. Goldbug's body lay on a bench. Grimlock looked at them. He had known Jazz and Goldbug ever since they came to Earth. Had fought alongside them, and had led them at one stage. To see them, deactivated and in such a condition, made him angry. Seraphim's condition, made him VERY angry. And when Grimlock got angry.....

"RAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Grimlock roared.

Hardhead raised his arms defensively.

"Grimlock, buddy, calm down. Ranting like this....."

"SHUT UP HARDHEAD!!"

"Shutting up."

Before Grimlock could say anything, Dogfight stuck his head in the room.

"Grimlock, we need you up front."

Dogfight turned and went back to the bridge, Grimlock behind him. As they approached, Death's Head and Getaway were looking at the screen. Floating in space was a badly damaged space shuttle, bearing Autobot markings. Death's Head looked at sensors.

"It's an Autobot...."

Getaway nodded.

"It looks like Sky Lynx."

Dogfight narrowed his eyes.

"That's how they got us before. Astrotrain disguised as Sky Lynx...."

Death's Head looked at him.

"This is Sky Lynx. I received from Optimus, the ID tracers and scanners of all Autobots we were sent after. Dogfight, Getaway, get the shuttle bay ready."

Getaway nodded and headed off with Dogfight. Grimlock looked at the merc.

"What now?"

"Now, we get Sky Lynx onboard and get back to Earth. Then prepare for Hell, yes?."

Grimlock sighed.

Onboard Galvatron's starship :

Galvatron snarled as he glared at the Decepticons before him. Because of their ineptidude, the two Autobot prisoners, Sky Lynx and Landmine, had escaped. He blamed all of them. As Galvatron ranted, Ruckus and Pounce ducked out of the bridge, out of harm's way. Ruckus swallowed.

"He's absolutely nuts!"

Pounce nodded.

"Completely. Let's just hope Scourge and the others have good news."

Ruckus added.

"And with Soundwave's desertion, he's been waiting to go off. Those Autobots escaping pushed him over the edge."

Before Pounce could say anything, Razorclaw approached them.

"Sound's to me, the two of you are talking about deserting."

"Wha? No way Rampage! We aint stupid!" Ruckus said, backing away from the Predacon leader.

Pounce shook his head.

"Deserters? Us? No way!"

Divebomb, Rampage, Tantrum and Headstrong joined them.

"Looks like we have some cowards, eh Tantrum?" Divebomb asked his volatile teammate.

Tantrum snarled.

"Cowards! Remind me of pathetic Autobots!"

Headstrong nodded.

"Yeah, methinks Starscream had the right idea, executing the traitors from the last invasion of Autobot city, by throwing them out of Astrotrain."

Rampage looked at them.

"If Starscream hadn't of done that, or at the least, made sure Megatron was terminated, BEFORE casting him adrift, we wouldn't have to put up with Galvatron."

Pounce swallowed.

"Rampage....."

"What?" The Predacon asked.

Pounce pointed behind him. Before Rampage could turn, he was flung forward by the blast of Galvatron's particle cannon. The Decepticons turned and started to back away from Galvatron.

"TRAITORS!! USELESS PILES OF SCRAP!! I SHOULD DESTROY ALL OF YOU!!"

Galvatron advanced on them, and was about to fire when Dragstrip called to him.

"Mighty Galvatron, Scourge and the others have returned."

Galvatron turned and fired at the same time. Dragstrip pulled away from the door, as the blast hit it. Dragstrip stumbled backwards and fell. He looked at his Stunticon teamleader, Motormaster.

"He's coming."

Motormaster nodded, then looked at Galvatron, who stormed into the room. Galvatron glared at him.

"Report."

"Mighty Galvatron, the Targetmasters have boarded, and, unfortunately, bear bad news."

Before Galvatron could respond, Scourge and the Targetmasters hurried onto the bridge. Even Misfire was with them, his hand holding his throat, which had been damaged by Goldbug.

Scourge knelt at Galvatron's feet.

"Mighty Galvatron, we.."

Galvatron grabbed Scourge by the throat and lifted the tracker into the air.

"You have failed me Scourge. Failure, means Death!"

Misfire stumbled forward.

"Mi... ghty....Gal...va...tron...."

Galvatron raised his gun arm and fired, the blast destroying Misfire's throat problem, by destroying his entire upper chassis. Galvatron faced Scourge.

"And where is Slugslinger?"

Cyclonus replied.

"Terminated Mighty Galvatron, as was his Nebulon partner. However, we did destroy two of the Autobots, and we have some news for you. Someone is helping the Autobots."

Galvatron dropped Scourge and faced Cyclonus.

"Who?"

"The bounty hunter, Death's Head. He led a group of Autobots against us."

"Death's Head. Death's Head. DEATH'S HEAD!!!" Galvatron turned and fired his cannon at the prone body of Misfire, vaporising the remains.

Cyclonus looked at Scourge. The tracker knew what this meant as did he. With Death's Head aiding them, the Autobots had a good chance of not only surviving the impending attack, but there was a chance that Death's Head would destroy them. Scourge and Cyclonus remembered their last encounter with Death's Head, and besides Galvatron, only Death's Head scared them.

Galvatron hated Death's Head almost as much as he hated the Autobots, perhaps even more. After his rant, Galvatron faced his warriors, a sickly smile on his face.

"Finally, I can be rid of his interference once and for all. Soon, not only will I have the heads of Optimus and Rodimus on the wall, but also the head of Death's Head!! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!"

Galvatron's maniacal laughter rang unnervingly throughout the ship.

***************************************************

Death's Head – It's official. Galvatron is NUTS!! I admit, I'm not much of a fan of Galvatron, so I guess I'm making my dislike for him come through with him destroying Decepticons all over the place. Anyway, next chapter reveals more of Raiden and a new femme. (Hey, I was dared to put a new femme in. My sister kept going on, and on, and on, and driving me nuts until I created a new one! Therefore all blame goes to her!! I'm allowed to blame her, I'm older!) R&R please.
