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, Valkyrie, 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. Valkyrie transforms into a SAAB 35 Draken. Alpha Destroyer and Citadel Supreme, their vehicle forms shall remain a secret......for now.......

Within Autobot City :

Death's Head, Optimus Prime as well as others were cramped in the observation room. He stared at the screen before him.

"Doesn't look good, yes?"

Optimus shook his head.

"No. This is bad, and according to reports, every Decepticon is on those two ships."

Blaster looked up from his post.

"Not all Decepticons Optimus. According to Emirate Xaaron, there has been activity sighted within one of the old labs near Polyhex. AND a group of Decepticons swooped on Iacon, with an empty Pretender shell." Blaster paused "They hunted and somehow, managed to capture the 'enitity' which has been around Iacon since Unicron."

Hot Rod shook his head.

"Entity? Who or What are you talking about?"

Ultra Magnus gasped, as he remembered some of the events after the battle and destruction of Moonbase 1 and 2 by the planet devourer.

"It can't be.... Not him!"

Blaster nodded.

"Yeah, I HOPE it's not him. If it is......"

Death's Head smiled.

"I'll kill him again, yes?"

Moon orbit :

Seraphim and Dogfight flew in tandem, their cannons firing. The Aerialbots, swooped on one of the Decepticon cruisers, as it launched warheads and cannon fire. Air Raid, Silverbolt and Slingshot dodged the fire, whilst Skydive took a glancing hit and Fireflight collided with Blitzwing. The Aerialbot transformed and fired numerous shots at the Triplerchanger, who transformed into tank mode, landed on the hull of the cruiser and fired at Fireflight. Fireflight dodged most of the blasts, and retaliated by launching a salvo of missiles.

"Eat this Ditzwing!"

The missiles slammed into Blitzwing and the surrounding area of hull, forcing Blitzwing to transform.

"AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!" The Triplechanger fell backwards, his armour tough enough to absorb the damage, momentarily stunned as his systems crashed.

Fireflight had no chance to savour his victory, as Snapdragon attacked him.

"DIE AUTOBOT!!"

Fireflight cried out as the blasts from the Decepticon Headmaster, sheared one of his wings off of him. The crippled Autobot launched a Starburst countermeasure, which also flashed Snapdragon's sensors, blinding him. Cosmos flew in fast, and Fireflight transformed and grabbed a hold of the saucer as he headed out from the Decepticon ship, towards a shuttle.

"Thanks for the save Cosmos!"

"No problem Fireflight! We Autobots stick together!"

Fireflight looked behind them and saw the recovering Snapdragon, being joined by Apeface and Six-Shot. The three Decepticons gained on them.

"We got company!"

As the Decepticons opened fire, the energy blasts straking through the vacuum of space around Cosmos, Seraphim and Dogfight flew past the Autobot saucer and Fireflight.

"We'll take care of these bozos! Get to a shuttle!" Seraphim shouted as she passed Cosmos.

"Ok! Good hunting!"

Seraphim fired three missiles, each one hit a Decepticon. Dogfight fired repeatedly from his cannons, the cannon fire rippling through space and across the Decepticons. Six-Shot dodged the blasts and transformed into his hand gun form. Snapdragon transformed and grabbed Six-Shot and fired. Snapdragon fired the transformed one man army at the two Autobots.

Dogfight snarled.

"Damn Decepti-jerks! Now, they're starting to annoy me!"

Seraphim sighed.

"They just don't know when to quit!"

Air Raid, Scattershot Afterburner and Cloudburst flew in formation, laying down covering fire, for the shuttle being piloted by Inferno. The shuttle had taken numerous shots, and Inferno had ordered the crew (Bluestreak, Sunstreaker and Hound) to evacuate. Silverbolt had picked them up and flew in a tight arc away from the shuttle. Inferno, in the pilot's chair looked at the cruiser before him.

"Well Decepticons, today is a good day to die."

The shuttle accelerated towards the nearest cruiser, picking up speed. The cruiser opened fire upon the shuttle, each blast scoring the shuttle. Inferno grimaced.

"Alright escort wing, fall back! I'll keep these 'Cons busy."

Afterburner spoke up.

"Inferno! Don't be stupid! You don't need to do this!"

"Have no choice Afterburner! If we don't take out one of those cruisers, we're gonna be swamped in 'Cons. Make sure you get out of the explosion radius!"

Cloudburst fired at a group of Decepticons.

"Inferno, you're clear! Primus be with you!"

Cloudburst, Scattershot, Afterburner and Air Raid hit their retros and swung around, their engines firing and flying away from the shuttle. Inferno smiled to himself.

"Time to end this."

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

Onboard the Decepticon Cruiser :

Shanix looked at the screen before him, optics wide.

"He's going to ram us!"

Ratbat squawked.

"Intensive fire from all cannons! Destroy that ship!!"

Shockwave and Bludgeon looked at each other and headed off the bridge. They made their way to an emergency exit. Bludgeon looked at Shockwave.

"This is getting out of hand."

"We still have the advantage Bludgeon. I have issued the order for all Decepticons loyal to us to rendevous on the surface of Lunar. Ratbat and Shanix don't see the same vision we do."

Bludgeon nodded.

"We have to survive. Galvatron can not be left in command of the Decepticons."

"Until the Autobots are destroyed, we need him. After they have been destroyed," Shockwave raised his arm and fired on the door. The door erupted and Bludgeon and Shockwave leaped through the opening "Galvatron's usefulness will be at an end."

Bludgeon smiled.

"Death to Galvatron."

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

On the bridge :

Shanix turned and looked around the room.

"Shockwave and Bludgeon have abandoned us!"

Ratbat flapped his wings.

"TRAITORS!! SHANIX, DESTROY THAT SHUTTLE, NOW!!"

Shanix frowned.

"Do it yourself!" Shanix drew his blaster and fired at Ratbat.

Ratbat was flung backwards, the blast had hit him in the chest. He looked at Shanix through pain filled eyes.

"Sha....nix....?"

Shanix stood looking down at the former Decepticon Fuel Administrator.

"I obey Lord Galvatron."

Shanix turned and fired repeatedly across the bridge consoles. He then turned and left the bridge. Ratbat grimaced and managed to drag himself towards the escape pods.

Shanix ran down the corridor and saw the opened airlock. He leaped through the opening and flew towards Galvatron's cruiser. Halfway there, he turned back and saw the Autobot shuttle hit the cruiser he had just escaped from. Both ships exploded in a brilliant flash of energy, scattering debris across the system. He didn't see the escape pod launch from the ship, milleseconds before the explosion, heading out to the edge of the system.

Shanix smiled and resumed his course.

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

Death-s Head – The first shot has been fired. The battle joined. Who will win this first battle? Who will lose? Who will survive? WHY am I asking these questions, when I already know the answers?!?! Hmmm, I dunno. Guess I'm just crazy, yes? Anywayz, what do you think of this so far? R&R please.
