TRANSFORMERS : MEGATRON'S REVENGE
**********************************************
Death's Head – I do not own The Transformers, nor Death's Head. Takara Industries/Hasbro/Marvel US/Marvel UK/Sunbow Entertainment/Saban Entertainment, all own parts of The Transformers. Marvel UK owns Death's Head. Seraphim is my own creation. She transforms into a F-4 Phantom. Raiden and Valkyrie are my creation's as well. Vehicle forms? No idea. There's not much of them at the moment, only enough to get ahead, if you know what I mean. (Sorry about the bad joke people.) Alpha Destroyer and Citadel Supreme are mine as well. Alpha Destroyer is a Decepticon equivalent of the Autobot Omega Supreme and Citadel Supreme is a Decepticon version of Fortress Maximus.

In orbit of Pluto, onboard the 'VULTURE' :
Death's Head glanced at the console next to one of the damaged heads. It showed low CPU activity. He smiled softly, and looked at the other console. That one showed the same thing. Both of the decapitated heads, were still functioning. Even though the bodies had been destroyed, the heads were relatively undamaged.
Death's Head made one final adjustment, and connected a cable from the head in front of him, to the nearby monitor. He watched the readings scroll across the screen. Satisfied with the results, he activated the device next to one of the heads. He waited.
Static came from the speaker, then, a voice could be heard.
"Uhhh, wha..where am I?"
Death's Head grabbed a cable and gently attached it to the back of the head. The optics flashed and glowed brightly.
"You're alright now partner."
The optics focused on Death's Head.
"Death's Head? How did you get here? Scratch that, where's Valkyrie?" A hint of urgency in Raiden's voice.
Death's Head moved Raiden's head slightly sideways, so he could see the femme in question. Raiden managed a soft smile then spoke.
"She's going to be alright?"
"As soon as we get back to Autobot city on Earth, Seraphim is going to ask Optimus to have Ratchet and the other mad scientists there, to rebuild you and Valkyrie, yes?"
"Death's Head, I don't think that'd be wise. Returning to Earth at the moment I mean."
"Why?"
"Think about it. My so called 'loyal' Decepticon forces attacked Autobot city, as well as unleashing upon them Starscream. Then add into that equation the three new/old terrors I've brought back..."
Seraphim and the others, waiting outside the door, tried to get in. Only Seraphim, Bumblebee and Dogfight managed to get into the room, the others waited outside, within audio receptor distance. Seraphim looked at her brother's head.
"Raiden, what do you mean? I'm sure Optimus will..."
"No he won't Seraphim. Not when he finds out who I've brought back."
Grimlock spoke, quietly from the doorway.
"Who did you bring back?"
Raiden sighed.
"I found out, from Soundwave," He spat out the name "That Cyclonus and Scourge, are the reformatted versions of Skywarp and Thundercracker respectively."
Bumblebee nodded.
"I guessed as much. Scourge acts a lot like Thundercracker. When I called him that, Scourge went a little crazy, but regained his composure quickly. I had a feeling that Cyclonus was Skywarp as well, but to have it confirmed, not only satisfies my curiosity, but also alarms me greatly."
"Why did you bring them back? Why?" Jazz asked.
"I listened to Soundwave. I should've guessed he'd want to bring back his dead friends. Next, we'll hear that he's found the lost Decepticon forces."
"Lost Decepticon forces?" Death's Head asked.
Seraphim nodded.
"Yes, just after Unicron, a group of Decepticons, loyal to Megatron and Megatron alone, hid somewhere on Cybertron. Not wanting to join Galvatron, they remained neutral for quite some time. If Soundwave was to get in touch with them...."
Raiden's optics glowed.
"Normally they wouldn't follow. To them, Soundwave betrayed them by joining Galvatron. Now....they may join the new leader of my forces."
Death's Head frowned.
"New leader?"
"I guess you could say 'old' leader, or rather their 'Reborn' leader."
Bumblebee looked at Raiden.
"Who?"
Raiden paused. He decided to tell them everything.
"I created Alpha Destroyer, from plans and schematics I had stolen from the Ark, about ten-fifteen years ago, thanks to time travel. Citadel Supreme, was built from the plans located within Fortress Maximus's original head on the planet Nebulos. I had found a procedure, within Soundwave's old lab, to create a body, to house a roaming spark. That done, I had my forces hunt down Starscream's errant spirit and trap it within the body."
Jazz whistled.
"Man, that's wacked!"
Dogfight nodded.
"Indeed."
"But it gets worse. Soundwave had engineered a device, once attached to Cyclonus and Scourge, would hunt through their CPU's for a certain hidden firewall. Behind that firewall, lay the original programming, Skywarp and Thundercracker. Once the programming was found and downloaded, there was two new Pretender bodies onboard Alpha Destroyer, designed on the original forms of Skywarp and Thundercracker."
Jazz snorted.
"Oh wonderful! You brought back two of the most dangerous Decepticons of all time! Why not Megatron too! Or was he out of your league?"
Raiden's optics blazed with fury.
"Listen Autobot! If we don't get this crate back to Cybertron immediately then your forces there could already be dead! That is if he didn't kill them all when he arrived there!"
"What do you mean, 'He'?" Seraphim asked.
Death's Head studied the face of his former partner. He knew Raiden was about to say something, none of them would like.
'Soundwave, when I encountered him again, had a disc with him. On that disc was a consciousness. A consciousness Soundwave stole from Galvatron. It was.....Megatron."
Silence filled the room. Everyone had looks of either shock, horror or terror on their faces. The infamous Megatron was alive and well, and in charge of the most powerful group of Decepticons ever gathered together. Grimlock spoke first.
"YOU IDIOT!!!"
Grimlock tried to grab Raiden and crush him, but with Jazz, Bumblebee, Dogfight and Death's Head holding him back, all he could do was rant at the head.
"YOU COMPLETE AND UTTERLY BRAINLESS FOOL!!"
Death's Head glared at the Dinobot Pretender.
"Calm down, or you'll walk home to Earth, yes?" he faced Raiden "Then where shall we go? Cybertron?"
Raiden sighed.
"Yes. We go to Cybertron, get as much info as we can. Try and find out if there are any survivors left, and get them out as well."
Seraphim looked at him.
"How can you do anything? No offence brother, but you have no body."
Raiden's optics gleamed and a sinister smile spread on his face.
"In the Rad zone, I hid away enough technology and spare parts to create a small army. There'll be enough there to build bodies for myself and Valkyrie. Then, I'm gonna find Soundwave and....."
"Revenge, yes?" Death's Head asked.
"Yes, revenge!"

Death's Head : Sorry about the delay in uploading. Been a bit busy as of late, yes? Anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter, next one brings someone thought dead back. Yep, I like bringing the dead back. Who knows, maybe I'll bring the Impactor back (Impactor was once a close friend of Ultra Magnus, and I think he was an ally of Emirate Xxarron's. Not sure though.). Now, I'm at the interactive request part. In short, give me some ideas about what sort of vehicle forms Raiden and Valkyrie should now assume, after their bodies are rebuilt. R&R please.
