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. Alpha Destroyer and Citadel Supreme's vehicle forms will be revealed in following chapters, yes?

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

In front of Autobot City :

Fortress Maximus and Scorpononk fought. Scorpononk had torn a hole in Fortress Maximus's left shoulder. He retaliated by firing the twin mortars in his legs into Scorpononk's stomach, forcing the giant Decepticon backwards, buying the Autobot, much need time.

Inside the Head of Fortress Maximus, Spike Witwicky was breathing heavily. This wasn't a battle, it was genocide. The complete and utter annihilation of the Autobots. He spoke to Cerebros.

"Cerebros, we need to find a way to upset the balance between Zarak and the Scorpononk components."

"Easy Spike. Watch."

Fortress Maximus transformed into it's battle station mode, and rained cannon fire on Scorpononk. Cerebros climbed up on top of the battle station. He drew his cannon, and aimed carefully at the join of Scorpononk's head and body.

"Alright Cerebros, target locked!"

"Fire!"

The cannon pulsed and a beam of energy streaked out and hit it' target spot on. Scorpononk was forced back into it's city form, as it's head transformed into Zarak. Zarak landed hard on the ground, unmoving. Before Cerebros could move in, Mindwipe swooped down and grabbed the fallen Zarak, flying off.

"Damn that flying rat!" Spike cursed "We almost had him!"

"Almost Spike. But without the rest of Scorpononk...."

The ground next to Cerebros shuddered as Predking stomped into view. Spike gulped.

"Oh great!"

Elsewhere :

Scourge and Cyclonus ran. They saw Wingspan get hit by the femme they had been after, on that space station, and watched him crash into the ground. Triggerhappy ran into them.

"This is starting to fall apart! We gotta get out of here!"

"Not without Galvatron!" Cyclonus snarled.

"Forget him! It's time we looked after ourselves!" Scourge hissed.

Before Cyclonus could respond....

"Sound like puny Decepticons, show yellow and run. Me Grimlock say, time to pay!"

As the Decepticons turned, a Pretender fired it's cannon at them. Tiggerhappy gasped.

"That's Grimlock!!"

Then another voice called out.

"Right you are Triggerdunce! How about we fight to some jazzy tunes?"

Scourge backed away.

"Jazz? It can't be! We killed him...ACK!" Scourge fell back, his shoulder on fire.

Another Pretender appeared, weapon raised.

"Oh look, it's Thundercracker and Skywarp. If they can come back from the dead, so can we! Autobot Pretenders, attack!"

The three Pretender shells opened. From the first Pretender shell, Grimlock appeared, holding his twin blaster and sword. The second, Jazz appeared, holding his rifle. Then the third Pretender opened to reveal...."

"Bumblebee!" Cyclonus growled.

"Yeah, you got a problem with that?" Bumblebee fired his blaster at Cyclonus, hitting the Decepticon in the face.

Then cannonfire rained down on the Decepticons from above, as Seraphim, Silverbolt, Air Raid, Swoop and Powerglide flew overhead, transforming and heading towards them. Scourge transformed and flew into the air.

"Retreat!"

Cyclonus and Triggerhappy followed suite and flew after Scourge. Seraphim approached Bumblebee.

"Goldie?"

"Not anymore Sera. I'm back to being plain old Bumblebee." He said.

Jazz and Grimlock approached them.

"Hey! I'm back as well, you know!" Jazz said.

Grimlock looked at Seraphim.

"Seraphim, ok?"

Seraphim nodded.

"Yes Grimlock. Relieved that you're all ok."

Silverbolt looked into the sky and gasped.

"What the...?"

Everyone looked up.

Grimlock spoke.

"Wonderful."

Inside Autobot City (Ten minutes ago) :

Shanix ran down a corridor. As he ran, he looked over his shoulder. He saw the horned silhouette on the wall, and ran faster. Being hunted by Death's Head, was no fun experience. Shanix stumbled and fell through a hole. He landed crookedly, the knee join on his left leg shattering from the fall.

As he tried to crawl, he heard it.

"I'm coming for you Shanix, yes?"

Shanix paled. The voice of Death's Head frightened him more than anything else in existence. He turned away from the voice and crawled.

He crawled right into a foot.

He looked at the foot, and swallowed.

He raised his gaze to the mech's waist and saw the various weapons.

His gaze drifted up to the mech's upper torso. He saw the weapons on the mech's back. He also saw the blaster attachment in place of the mech's right hand.

He looked up into the mech's face.

Death's Head.

"No!" Shanix gasped, as Death's Head grabbed him by the throat.

"I promised you I'd get you. And I always keep my word, yes?"

Death's Head fired the blaster into Shanix's chest several times. As each shot hit his body, Shanix convulsed in agony. Death's Head threw Shanix into the wall, and ripped a panel off the side of Shanix's head. He attached a couple of cables to the panel inside, whilst the other end of the cables were attached to a certain device.

"Wha.....ou....ing?"

"Just downloading the entire knowledge of Cybertron, for my own end, yes?"

"Wh...?"

"Compensation."

Shanix tried to speak, but found he could no longer voice his words. Death's Head finished the download and looked at Shanix.

"Goodbye."

Death's Head turned and jumped out of the hole. He looked back at Shanix, replacing the blaster attachment with the missile.

Shanix's optics widened, as he saw Death's Head point the missile at him and fire it. He finally was able to say one word.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!"

Shanix's body exploded in a fierce blaze. Death's Head ran down the corridor and climbed back out, onto the surface of Autobot City.

"Nice knowing you Shanix, and..." He looked upwards "What the....?"

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

Above Autobot City :

A certain cigar shaped ship hovered above the ruined Autobot city. Onboard the ship, were Decepticons, with a purpose. The Death of Galvatron. If that meant helping the Autobots, then so be it. Raiden smiled as he looked at the screens. He faced Soundwave and Valkyrie.

"Soundwave, Valkyrie, remember your objective. I want those Consciousness's inside those new bodies. Find Scourge and Cyclonus and get what I want."

Valkyrie nodded.

"You got it."

Soundwave added.

"As you command Lord Raiden."

Raiden hit a button.

"DECEPTICONS!! YOU HAVE YOUR TARGETS! TRANSFORM AND ATTACK!!!"

A panel slid open on the ship and out spewed the Decepticons of Raiden. The Pretender looked to Raiden.

"Now, is it time?"

Raiden nodded.

"Do what you do best."

"I will."

The Pretender leaped out of the ship, discarding it's Pretender shell. The mech landed and fired it's Null ray cannons at Autobot and Decepticon alike, laughing.

"PATHETIC FOOLS!! THERE IS NO ESCAPE!! I AM INVINCIBLE!! STARSCREAM HAS RETURNED!!!"

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

Death's Head – I HAD TO BRING STARSCREAM BACK! I HAD TO!! MWA HA HA HA HA HA!!! More coming! R&R please.
