Aboard Rodimus Prime's Shuttle :
The young Autobot leader cursed, as the null ray blast from Starscream splashed onto the bulkhead behind him. Kup aimed his rifle and fired a quick succession of bursts at the Seeker leader and his cohorts, forcing them to duck back into the corridor leading to the shuttle's bridge.
"Damn Starscream, he's just as annoying as he was before Galvatron blasted him."
Blaster fired his electro scrambler at the Decepticon Targetmaster Triggerhappy, the blast hit him, sending the Decepticon convulsing into Shockwave. Shockwave lashed out, his fist connecting with Triggerhappy's head, sending him flying into the wall.
"Insect! Starscream, we have our orders. Destroy the Autobots, and remove the Autobot Matrix from their leader."
Starscream snorted.
"So? Does that mean we can't have any fun here Shockwave? I mean, these are just Autobots."
Skywarp looked at Starscream, anger in his optics. He whispered to Thundercracker.
"Thundercracker, I think it'd be best if we distance ourselves from these fools."
The blue Seeker nodded.
"I agree. Besides, we can have more fun, independent."
Both Seekers, turned and disappeared down the corridor. Shockwave and Starscream were too busy arguing to notice, but not Triggerhappy's partner, Blowpipe. The Nebulon transformed from cannon mode into his armoured warrior form.
"Those two sneaking off, doesn't sit well with me. But until Triggerhappy is back on his feet, I'm helpless."
Blowpipe made his way towards his partner, and was out of sight of Ultra Magnus. The Autobot second in command, raised his rifle and pointed it at the two bickering Decepticons.
"Alright Shockwave, Starscream, stand down. Or else I'll be forced to fire."
Shockwave and Starscream faced him.
"Look at what your stupidity has done now Shockwave!"
Shockwave glared at Starscream.
"YOU are the one with a deficient functioning CPU Starscream. If you had of fired a cluster missile into the bridge, we would not be in this situation."
Rodimus, Blaster and Kup stepped into the corridor, their own weapons drawn.
"Shockwave, Starscream, the two of you…"
Just then, the shuttle rocked as Scorpononk opened fire on the shuttle, causing a bulkhead to explode, rupturing the corridor. Taking advantage of the situation, Shockwave and Starscream fired their weapons, each blast sent the Autobots reeling. Then, the two fled the shuttle. Ultra Magnus cursed to himself as he stood on his feet.
"Rodimus! Kup! Blaster! Do you still function?"
Blaster groaned, as he sat up, his hand on the side of his head.
"I'm still here Mags, but boy, do I have a ringing in my receptors. Haven't felt this bad, since I walked in on Jazz as he was displaying his new and improved Light and Sound show."
Kup looked at Blaster.
"Heh, don't worry Blaster. This is easy."
Blaster looked at Kup, optics wide.
"Easy? You call this easy?"
Kup stood on his feet and helped the communicator up.
"Well, you didn't fall into the stomach of the biggest damned transformer in existence and survive."
Blaster sighed.
"Unicron."
"Bingo."
Ultra Magnus, meanwhile, helped Rodimus to his feet.
"What do we do now Rodimus? The Decepticons have boarded us and we have numerous casualties. Your call."
Rodimus sighed.
"Blaster, how long until the reinforcements get here?"
Blaster frowned.
"Still two earth hours away. By then…"
Rodimus finished the sentence.
"Megatron and Galvatron would've revived every Decepticon on board that shuttle."
Kup spoke.
"Lad, we still have an ace in the hole on that shuttle. Death's Head."
Blaster nodded.
"That's true Rodimus. Death's Head has proven his ability against the Decepticons numerous times in the past."
Ultra Magnus frowned.
"That's true Blaster, but against ALL the Decepticons? What chance does he have?"
A voice spoke from behind them.
"I'll help."
The four Autobots turned and faced Triggerhappy, who was leaning against the wall, Blowpipe sitting on a ledge, near his partner's shoulder. Rodimus looked at him.
"Triggerhappy. Why would you help him? No, scratch that. What are you willing to help us?"
Triggerhappy sighed.
"Believe it or not Autobot, I'm sick of all this fighting. So is Blowpipe. All we want is to end this futile war."
Blowpipe nodded in agreement.
"I agree with Triggerhappy. Most of the other Binary Bonded Decepticons are with Zarek, and want to remain where they are, in an attempt to capitalise on this whole Megatron and Galvatron debacle."
Triggerhappy added.
"Unfortunately, there isn't many other Decepticons who think as Blowpipe and myself do. I've… correction, we've been considering defecting, to join the Autobots."
Ultra Magnus walked towards Triggerhappy and stopped in front of him, glaring at him.
"And why should we listen to you Decepticon?"
Triggerhappy returned the gaze.
"I have information, which you may find interesting."
Ultra Magnus raised his rifle and pointed it in the face of Triggerhappy.
"Any information a Decepticon gives, can only lead to more trouble for us."
Rodimus stepped forward, and raised his hand to quiet his second.
"What sort of information?"
Triggerhappy looked at Rodimus.
"Galvatron's mad scientist, Scourge, had created ten new Decepticons."
Ultra Magnus looked at Rodimus.
"Rodimus, he's lying."
Triggerhappy snarled.
"And WHY would I lie? My own CPU and memory engrams were used to give birth to one of them!"
Blaster sighed.
"To quote Jazz, That's just whacked man!"
Before anyone could respond, the shuttle shook as another blast hit it. Rodimus looked at Triggerhappy.
"Alright then, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, as the humans say, and trust you. Help Death's Head out and get back to Autobot City on Earth. Understand?"
Triggerhappy nodded.
"I can do that. But, how can I prove to Death's Head that I'm on your side now?"
Ultra Magnus stepped forward.
"Because I'm coming with you Decepticon."
Rodimus sighed.
"Ok then. But I want the FOUR of you, on Earth in one earth day."
Ultra Magnus and Triggerhappy nodded. Blowpipe transformed and landed in Triggerhappy's hand.
Both Autobot and Decepticon turned and leaped out of the hole in the shuttle side. Kup looked at Blaster.
"Blaster, why don't you and your cassette's go and see how the others are doing?"
Blaster nodded.
"Yeah good idea."
As Blaster headed off, Kup spoke to Rodimus.
"Well lad, what do you think about Triggerhappy's… 'defection'? Do you think it's real?"
Rodimus shrugged.
"I don't know Kup, but we've got to get out of here. If we take anymore damage…"
Kup sighed.
"I get the point. Shall we?"
Both Autobots made their way onto the bridge.
***********************************************
Death's Head - I know. Having Triggerhappy defect to the Autobots doesn't seem right for him, but I've been planning something like that for some time. Besides, I have plans for him. R&R please.
