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, Citadel Supreme and Valkyrie.. Raiden transforms into a fighter, similar in design to the valkyries/veritechs from Macross/Robotech. Seraphim transforms into a F-4 Phantom. Valkyrie transforms into a SAAB 35 Drakken.

Back on Cybertron :

Dreadwind looked at the two superbots, and swallowed. Alpha Destroyer and Citadel Supreme, were awe inspiring, and at the same time terrifying. Raiden's disciples. They were totally loyal and would only obey his command. Dreadwind sighed. Enemies of Raiden would be dispatched to the hereafter by his two loyal warriors.

Noise coming from the workshop woke him from his daydreaming. Dreadwind walked towards the area in question, but was stopped by Overbite, a Seacon and one of Raiden's new recruits. Overbite looked at the Powermaster.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Dreadwind glared at him.

"I go where I choose Seacon. Remember, I was one of the First."

"So what? Just because Lord Raiden saved yer worthless ass from the mechannibals, means nothing!"

Before Dreadwind could say anything, the rest of the Seacons appeared. However, from the opposite end of the corridor, a group of ten Sharkticons appeared, and headed towards them. Dreadwind was about to say something when Valkyrie, a femme Decepticon, spoke.

"Stand down all of you. What do you think Raiden would say if he saw you all like this?"

Dreadwind faced her. Valkyrie was a dark crimson mech, silver trim, who Raiden had found in a wrecked building, just outside of the Rad Zone. She had internal damage and her CPU was malfunctioning. Raiden had been able to repair the damage and restore her back to full operational capability. He had also placed her in charge of his air militia, which consisted of Thrust, Dirge, Ramjet, Octane, Darkwing and himself.

"Valkyrie, this is all...."

"A misunderstanding?" She asked him, as she walked over in front of the workshop's door.

Overbite snarled.

"He was trying to enter this lab. We have orders from Lord Raiden to allow only Soundwave and Lord Raiden himself in here."

"Really." Valkyrie faced him "Tell me Overbite, are you willing to die for Lord Raiden?"

Overbite nodded.

"Yes!"

Valkyrie nodded.

"Good. Go have your break. Shaznar," She faced the Sharkticon leader "Have your men return to sentry duty by the west compound. And be ready to leave. Soon, our time will come."

Shaznar bowed.

"We live to serve Lord Raiden."

Shaznar led his troops away, leaving only Valkyrie and Dreadwind in front of the workshop. She faced him, anger in her eyes.

"And you Dreadwind, what am I to do with you?"

"Umm, Valkyrie...."

"Dreadwind, check the armoury and make sure every weapon is primed and ready. We'll be going to war soon."

Dreadwind nodded and walked away shaking his head. Valkyrie turned and entered a code near the door. The door slid open and she walked in. Inside the room, Soundwave was busy working on a Pretender shell, whilst Raiden had just finished the final work on the mechanoid on the table. He looked at her.

"Do we have a sighting yet?"

Valkyrie smiled at him, and walked over to her leader.

"He was last seen flitting about Iacon, scaring the Autobots and their leader there."

"Heh, heh, heh, Emirate Xaaron must be going crazy by now, over HIM."

Soundwave looked at them.

"Who are you talking of?"

Raiden looked at his mentor.

"The 'Spark' for this Pretender body and shell. As soon as you're finished Soundwave, we'll take it and capture the 'Spark' in question."

Soundwave looked at the body. As he looked at the design, a cold fear appeared in him. He studied the form closely and had to suppress a gasp. He recognised the body, and looked at Raiden.

"Are you sure of this? Of HIM?"

Raiden nodded as walked over and looked at the body.

"Yes Soundwave. Apart from his history, we'll need him." Raiden added "As much as I need a hole in the head though."

Valkyrie put her hand on Raiden's shoulder.

"Have no fear, with those cerebro shells you have, he'll be under your control. Just like the Seacons are."

Soundwave nodded.

"It was most fortuitous for you to have found them. Without Bombshell, we've been lacking in the psychological warfare front."

Raiden smiled.

"Soon Soundwave, Valkyrie, we will have everything we need, to bring him back. Make sure the other body is ready. I have a feeling we may need his assistance."

Soundwave nodded.

"As you command Raiden."

Raiden nodded and left the room, Valkyrie by his side. Soundwave face the body he was working on and added the cerebro shell to the side of it's head. He watched it burrow inside the neck, and pulse as it was activated.

"Soon, one shall be back and the other will be with us shortly."

Death's Head – Hmmm, Valkyrie and Raiden paired up. Can anyone say Destructive Duo? MWA HA HA HA!! Anywayz, before I forget, I'm going to do my best not to kill off many more Autobots or Decepticons. The ones I've killed, I did for a purpose which will become apparent in later chapters. All the characters in this story all have a destiny which I set out for them, and whilst some die and don't come back, some make the journey to the Great beyond and return. I'm not saying who I'm gonna kill and bring back, or who I kill and leave gone, but, as I said, I'm going to do my best not to do any harm to the main characters (Death's Head, Raiden, Valkyrie, Seraphim, Optimus Prime, Scourge, Soundwave, etc, etc.). R&R please.
