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 is a Decepticon version of Omega Supreme and Citadel Supreme is the Decepticon version of Fortress Maximus, yes?

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

Elsewhere :

Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge and Triggerhappy stared at the scene before them. Abominus and Piranacon were lashing out with their arms, weapons, anything they could grab a hold of, including Autobots, and attacking. The Autobots fell back, as the two behemoths were joined by Citadel Supreme, blasting at the Autobots.

Galvatron smiled.

"I don't know who that big one is, but those Seacons and Horrorcons have MUCH to explain. Still, we're winning."

Scourge looked at his leader.

"Galvatron, this is insane! They're attacking anything moving!"

"Yes Scourge, like true Decepticon warriors!" Galvatron replied.

A sneering voice spoke to them.

"Nothing like you then, eh Mighty Galvatron."

Galvatron and his men turned and faced Starscream, Thrust, Dirge, Ramjet, Bomb-Burst, Bugly, Darkwing and Dreadwind. Cyclonus looked at Starscream.

"You're dead! Galvatron..."

"Isn't as thorough as he used to be! But then, even Megatron was a failure!"

Thrust raised his gun arm and glared at Triggerhappy.

"Lower your partner, or else you'll have a hole the size of this city in your chest!"

Triggerhappy nodded, and lowered Blowpipe. Galvatron snarled.

"STARSCREAM!! I'LL....!!"

"YOU'LL DO NOTHING!! Except, what I say." Starscream faced his men "Destroy them."

Before they could act, Galvatron fired a blast from his cannon at a exposed pipe, sending exhaust spraying on Starscream and his men. Galvatron roared.

"ASTROTRAIN! TRANSFORM AND GET US OUT OF HERE!!"

Astrotrain, heard and nodded. He fired his blaster repeatedly, causing Hot Rod and Arcee to duck for cover, before transforming into his locomotive form. The remaining forces of Galvatron boarded the triple changer, then Astrotrain blasted off. Starscream hissed.

"Damn him! I'll get my vengeance later."

Soundwave's voice came over his comm.

"Starscream, all Decepticons return to Alpha Destroyer immediately. We are leaving."

Starscream looked at his men.

"You heard him! Back to Alpha Destroyer!!"

They all transformed and flew back to the huge Decepticon rocket.

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

Across the battlefield :

Raiden's troops disengaged from the various fights they were in, and swarmed back to Alpha Destroyer. Death's Head and Raiden had made their way where Valkyrie lay. Her armour dented and in some places ruptured badly, exposing the circuitry within. If she wasn't taken to a med bay soon, the damage would be irreversible.

Raiden bent and picked her broken body up. Death's Head looked at his former partner.

"You'll return to Cybertron, yes?"

Raiden nodded.

"Yeah, sort out all this business." Raiden gazed over the battlefield "What have I done?"

Death's Head, had in his hand, the device which would shut Raiden down, and reboot his CPU with the original programming. However, Death's Head found himself, crushing the weapon.

Alpha Destroyer flew low over the battlefield, towards them. The lower hatch open, and Abominus leaning out. Death's Head looked at Raiden.

"Your ride's here. Keep in touch, yes?"

Raiden only nodded, as he fired the last bit of energy in his rockets, lifting him and Valkyrie up into the air, so Abominus caught them. The Horrorcon leaned back inside the ship, and the hatch sealed. Alpha Destroyer's engines flared and he lifted higher into the atmosphere, streaking away from Earth.

Death's Head sighed and sat on a boulder. He looked over the battlefield, and found himself a little queasy.

Seraphim, Dogfight, Bumblebee, Jazz and Grimlock approached him.

"Death's Head...?" Seraphim asked softly.

"Yes?"

"Raiden...?"

"Gone. Valkyrie too, yes?"

Seraphim nodded, and sat down on another boulder. Dogfight whistled.

"This....this...."

"Is a nightmare come true." Optimus Prime said, as he approached. Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod with him.

Grimlock snarled at Death's Head.

"This all your fault! YOU lead the Decepticons here! YOU knew their leader would attack here! YOU knew.....!!"

"SHUT UP!!"

Grimlock paused and looked at the speaker, as did everyone else. Seraphim was standing looking over the ruins, her back to them. Death's Head shook his head, and was about to reply, when...

"Well, well, well, look at you pathetic Autobots. Arguing with each other over who's to blame. Losers."

Death's Head looked and saw the small armoured warrior, leaning against a small rock. He was about to pick it up, when Hi-Q, disengaged himself from Optimus Prime, and landed on the ground near the figure. He removed his helm and looked at the person.

"Kari?"

The figure looked at him, then slowly removed her helm.

"Hi-Q. Been awhile."

"Kari, you?"

Kari nodded.

"Yes. I underwent the bonding process, and became a Targetmaster."

"Who? Who was your partner?"

Seraphim answered.

"My brother. My brother was her partner."

Bumblebee looked at Seraphim.

"Sera?"

"My brother is the leader of that new group of Decepticons. My brother is Raiden."

The only sound to be heard was the wind blowing through the ruins, as the information was processed by the others. Optimus spoke, softly.

"Seraphim, is your brother in danger?"

Seraphim faced Optimus, her face grave.

"He is. And so is Valkyrie."

Death's Head stood.

"I'm going out after them, yes?"

Seraphim nodded.

"So am I."

Dogfight added.

"Me too."

Optimus looked at the three of them. He nodded slowly.

"Bumblebee, Jazz and Grimlock will accompany you." Optimus then looked solely at Death's Head and Seraphim "Accomplish what you wish to achieve."

Death's Head nodded, then started to make his way towards what was left of the landing pads, Dogfight and the others following. Seraphim was about to follow, when Kari stopped her.

"Yes?"

"Take me with you. Raiden's my partner, and I..."

Seraphim stretched out her right hand, and Kari transformed into weapon mode, landing in Seraphim's outstretched hand.

"Alright, let's go help your partner, my brother."

Death's Head – Another chapter up. Only two more to go, and story 1, Transformers : Death's Head will close. However, I do have plans for a part two, as I said at the end of the previous chapter, I originally had plans for five stories, but depending on what sort of feedback I get, I may OR may not write the rest. I'll finish this story how I intended, so if there is enough interest, for the further adventures of Death's Head, Raiden, Seraphim and Valkyrie, as well as everyone else, it can be continued straight off. R&R please.
