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 a ruined building, in an obscure region of Cybertron :

Banzai-Tron glared at Krok. He did not like being ordered around by one, he considered to be lower then he. Just like his mentor, the Pretender Bludgeon, Banzai-Tron was a master at Metallikato, a deadly art of destruction. Krok on the otherhand, was a simple soldier. A brilliant strategist and with standard leadership qualities, Krok was the leader of the so-called "Lost Decepticons". A group of Decepticons who separated from the other Decepticons, when the new leader Galvatron appeared. When Shockwave, Bludgeon, Lord Shaniz and Ratbat appeared as the founders of the Decepticon Council, Krok decided to leave. Banzai-Tron and some others felt the same. After Megatron, they felt no one had the right to assume command of the Decepticons, so they fled to a remote part of Cybertron. That was five Earth Standard years ago, and Krok has led them ever since.

Banzai-Tron spoke.

"So Mighty Krok, when are you to lead our forces against the 'Council', and take control of Cybertron? Or is your master plan, to remain here in isolation, allowing your troops to rust?"

Krok faced his second.

"Banzai-Tron, we need to conserve our forces and await the right moment to..."

Banzai-Tron's fist slammed into a console, showering sparks over his body.

"DAMMIT KROK! WE ARE DECEPTICONS! WE CAN'T JUST STAY HERE, COWERING LIKE AUTOBOTS!!"

Krok sighed. He had this conversation with Banzai-Tron almost everyday now. As he was about to reply, Treadshot approached them.

"Sir. We have received news from Axel near Iacon."

Banzai-Tron snapped his gaze to Treadshot.

"What news?"

Treadshot looked at Krok, who nodded for him to continue.

"Axel sent word, that a huge ship appeared near Iacon and attacked. A group of mechanoids appeared and one of them, Axel thinks was their leader, fired upon the command center of Iacon, destroying the defensive barrier. Axel conducted low level intrusive scans, and found out the following information." Treadshot swallowed "According to his scans, these intruders attacked the Autobots without warning, and without remorse. From their battle tactics, he said they were warriors of the finest calibre. Also, he noticed Soundwave was among them."

Banzai-Tron's optics narrowed at the mention of Soundwave.

"Soundwave. Soundwave!! That accursed...."

"Genius."

Banzai-Tron, Krok and Treadshot faced the speaker. Leaning against the door frame was Lord Shanix. Krok spoke to him.

"Shanix, you are not welcome here."

Shanix walked into the room.

"I go where I want. Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do?"

Banzai-Tron snarled.

"I don't care WHO or WHAT you are! But I'm gonna...."

Shanix hissed.

"Do nothing! I am here to impart onto you, some information. Information which you could find valuable...OR alarming."

Banzai-Tron had drawn his blaster, but Krok made him lower it. Krok faced Shanix.

"What do you want for this information?"

Shanix's eyes glittered.

"What I want is simple. I supply you with information, and what I want in return, I shall name at a later date."

Krok studied Shanix, before speaking.

"Weren't you with the Council, onboard the 'IMPLACABLE'? Leading, with the Council, a battle group to Earth? To attack the Autobots?"

Shanix snorted.

"You are just as simpleminded as that infernal Bounty hunter. Even now, this is not the real 'me' before you. To put it as simply as your pea brained minds can assimilate, I can control remote clones of myself, even over vast distances. My real self, is safe at a certain location."

"What Bounty Hunter?" Krok asked.

Shanix grimaced.

"Death's Head."

Banzai-Tron glared death at Shanix.

"When he knows you're alive, he'll find you and finish you. That is, IF we don't. And besides, what would stop us from searching for the real 'you'?"

Shanix looked at the ruined console.

"Simple. Plasma Energy."

Krok looked at Shanix, alarmed.

"Plasma energy? That's..."

"Dangerous? Yes, it is."

Krok looked at Banzai-Tron and Treadshot. Banzai-Tron's face bore a look of anger and hatred, directed at Shanix. Treadshot, shrugged. Krok faced Shanix.

"For the time being Shanix, we will accept your aid....for now."

Shanix nodded.

"I'll accept that....arrangement...for now."

Krok crossed his arms.

"Now, info dump us."

Shanix turned and leaned against the wall.

"Firstly, tell me have you heard of the upstart Raiden?"

Banzai-Tron snarled and turned away.

"Raiden is nothing, a nobody!"

Krok shook his head.

"I disagree. He is a very shrewd Decepticon. And always has a back up plan. He always plans ahead."

Shanix nodded.

"Out of all the current Decepticons, he is the most dangerous. However, he created some of the new Decepticons which attacked Iacon."

Banzai-Tron faced Shanix.

"Soundwave was leading this group of Decepticons. So what?"

Shanix smiled behind his face mask.

"Negative. Soundwave was following the leader of that group. In any event, Soundwave was Raiden's mentor. He also, supplied Raiden with the necessary materials to bring back the most dangerous Decepticons ever."

Treadshot spoke up.

"Who?"

Shanix stared at the three Decepticons.

"Firstly, the Air Commander of the Seekers, Starscream. Second and Third, are his fellow Seekers, Thundercracker and Skywarp. The three of them are Pretenders. The huge ship they arrived in, is Alpha Destroyer, Raiden's version of the Autobot Omega Supreme."

Banzai-Tron shook his head.

"Firstly, the dead cannot be brought back. Secondly, this Alpha Destroyer intrigues me."

Krok nodded

"As he does me. But I sense there's something else, correct?"

Shanix pressed a button on his forearm, and a holographic image appeared which shocked the three Decepticons.

Treadshot gasped.

"It can't be..."

Banzai-Tron shook his head, whilst Krok looked at Shanix.

"Is this real?"

Shanix nodded.

"Yes. Megatron, the only true leader of the Decepticons, brought back to life by Raiden, has returned."

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

Death's Head – Well, he's back!! Heh, heh, heh, Shanix HAD to come back. But don't worry, he's going to be doing a LOT of running in future chapters. I mean, with Death's Head after you, wouldn't you run? Also, going to bring the Action Masters (Before they took the Nucleon to become Action Masters) as well as the Micromasters, will be appearing in, umm, big roles. LOL Also, thanks for all the feedback so far. Let's me know that people are reading this and liking it. In any event, more old transformers Like Shanix and, yes I'm bringing him back, Impactor will arrive. Raiden and Valkyrie? Well, they'll appear but won't have bodies for a while. I need to focus on the other characters, and I can't think of what vehicle form to give them. Oh well. R&R please.
