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.
The following are my own creations. I made them, they're mine. If you'd like to use them in one of your stories, just send me an email asking for permission to use them, as I'll most likely say you can. I just want to know which story they're going to be placed in.
The New Autobots I created : Outlaw, Valkyrie and Seraphim.
The New Decepticons I created : Alpha Destroyer, Acousia, Tremble, Carnage, Blaze, Thraka, Tempest, Darkshayde, Hydrina, Vette and Roadkill.
Also, please, please, PLEASE read all of my first Transformers story : Transformers : Book 1 : Death's Head and Transformers : Book 2 : Megatron's Revenge. A lot of information is in that story, which is carried over into this one.

Inside the mausoleum shuttle :
Megatron faced Galvatron. Soundwave and Buzzsaw faced Acousia and the cassettes with her. They were unprepared for the interference of Rollbar. The Throttlebot leader aimed his mortar cannon at the group.
"I don't know what's going on here, but I do know one thing. I'm an Autobot, and your Decepticons, and if I allow you jerks to wake up the other idiots on this shuttle, well, let's just say I can't allow that."
Galvatron laughed.
"And who are you to stop me, little slave?"
And the mention of the word 'slave', Rollbar stiffened and aimed his cannon at Megatron. Megatron glared at Galvatron.
"You dare…"
"I dare a lot Megatron. You've had your time Megatron, this is MY time. Rollbar, destroy Megatron!"
Before Rollbar, Megatron or the others could say anything, a missile slammed into the floor, sending a gout of steam pumping into the air. Galvatron snarled, and fired his cannon, just as Megatron did the same. By some fluke, they missed each other. Galvatron was about to fire when he heard a voice speak.
"Sending others to do your dirty work Galvatron? Seems like you don't want to dirty your hands, yes?"
Galvatron whirled and looked down the corridor.
"YOU!"
Standing at the end, was the freelance peacekeeping agent, Death's Head. His right hand was removed and in it's place was hit weapon, the titanium shott blaster. In his left hand, he held the rifle version of the smaller blaster. Galvatron narrowed his optics as he gazed at the deadly weapons.
"What are you doing here bounty hunter? Still working for the Autobots?"
Death's Head laughed.
"Business is business. There is a substantial reward on your head, as well as your two cronies, Cyclonus and Scourge." He raised the weapons "And this time, I WILL collect it, yes?"
Megatron chuckled.
"It would seem, you have your hands full Galvatron. I think I'll leave this to you."
Death's Head held his rifle against his side, keeping it aimed on the Decepticons, as his hand pressed a button on the side of his rifle. A short signal was emitted, which reacted with the subliminal manipulation programming within Rollbar. The Throttlebot grasped his head, and the incessant beeping which had started in his head, since Galvatron had activated the subliminal manipulation programming, stopped. He gripped his cannon, and even though he didn't know what was going on, he knew a Decepticon when he saw them. He kept his weapon on Megatron and Soundwave.
"Dammit! My head is hurting like crazy, but if you make one wrong move Decepticon, I'll make you think different of me."
Acousia looked at the cassettes with her, and glanced at Soundwave, giving him a silent signal. He nodded and issued a mental command to Buzzsaw, to prepare himself to attack.
Death's Head glared at Galvatron.
"I've been hunting you for some time now Galvatron. Now, when I take your head…"
Galvatron snarled and fired his cannon at Death's Head.
"You'll take nothing, except DEATH!"
The blast slammed into the wall next to Death's Head, who had rolled away, aimed his cannons and fired. Galvatron slammed into the wall, as the blasts from Death's Head, caught him in his chest. Acousia sent the message to the cassettes before her to attack Death's Head, as Buzzsaw, under Soundwave's command, swooped and attacked Rollbar.
Rollbar dodged the condor's attack, and was about to fire on him, when Soundwave and Acousia fired their rifles at him. Rollbar staggered backwards and fell down. He glared at the two communicators.
"Agh, if the two of you want to play, let's play!"
Rollbar transformed into his jeep mode, and drove into them. Acousia and Soundwave went flying from the impact, as drove straight into Rumble and Frenzy. Ravage and Lazerbeak swooped on Death's Head, who tracked them, and fired. Both cassette's dodged the blasts, but fell victim to one of Death's Head's tricks. He had already pressed a button on his waist, which emitted a electromagnetic pulse which scrambled the insides of the two cassettes, who fell to the ground twitching.
Rollbar transformed into robot mode, and leaned against the wall. He looked at Death's Head.
"I've heard of you Death's Head, and I have to admit, the rumours I've heard haven't done you justice."
Death's Head, leaning against the wall opposite Rollbar, nodded.
"I just do my job Rollbar. Now, why don't we take these Decepticons out, before they wake their friends here, and we find ourselves optic deep in Decepti-Junk, yes?"
Rollbar nodded.
"I agree with you. Let's blast them!"
Both Autobot and peacekeeping agent leaned around the alcoves they were in, and opened fire. Their weapon blasts slammed into the deck, sending the Decepticons flying. Galvatron snarled and transformed into his cannon mode. Death's Head's optics widened.
"Rollbar, MOVE!"
Death's Head leaped at Rollbar, and both mechs fell into a nearby room, as Galvatron's blast hit the alcove Rollbar had been hiding in, destroying it completely. He transformed into robot mode and faced Megatron.
"It would seem, we have some cyber rats to take care of."
Megatron nodded.
"That we do. What are you proposing Galvatron?"
The Decepticon leader smiled.
"Look at what we both have accomplished. Think of the things we could do… together!"
Megatron studied his counterpart, and then smiled.
"Together, we could rule the universe. No one, would dare to oppose us."
Both leaders finished the sentence together.
"YES!"
Soundwave knelt and picked up Lazerbeak and Ravage. He faced Acousia.
"You?"
Acousia faced him.
"Your cassettes are now where they belong. Treat them well Soundwave."
Soundwave studied her, as Lazerbeak and ravage transformed back into cassette form, and Soundwave placed them back into his chest. Rumble and Frenzy leaped into the air, transforming and joining their fellows. Both communicators looked at each other, then at their leaders. Megatron and Galvatron turned and faced them.
Galvatron spoke first.
"Acousia, send a message to my forces. Tell them to return to Scorpononk now."
Megatron looked Soundwave.
"Soundwave, issue the same order to my forces. As soon as they are aboard Scorpononk, we shall have Alpha Destroyer begin the transfer of every Decepticon left aboard this ship, onto him. Then, we'll destroy this ship."
"I don't think so Megatron!"
Galvatron fired his cannon, as did Megatron. Both blasts would've hit Ultra Magnus and Triggerhappy, if Death's Head and Rollbar hadn't of leaped from the hiding spot they had been in, knocking Magnus and Triggerhappy down onto the floor. Ultra Magnus looked at his saviour.
"Death's Head!"
Death's Head nodded as he rose to his knees and fired his cannons, the blasts hitting the pipe above the Decepticons. The pipe exploded, sending the Decepticons flying. He looked at Ultra Magnus.
"Me. Please to see me, yes?"
Ultra Magnus groaned as he stood, his rifle before him.
"Death's Head, Rodimus and the other Autobots had to return to Earth. Therefore Triggerhappy and myself are here to assist you."
Rollbar looked at Ultra Magnus.
"Triggerhappy? He's a Decepticon! What is he doing on OUR side?"
Triggerhappy looked at Rollbar.
"I've defected to your side, Autobot. If you have a problem with that, then speak with Rodimus Prime."
Rollbar frowned, as Ultra Magnus looked at Death's Head.
"Death's Head. We can not let them achieve their plan. If they do…"
Death's Head nodded.
"Then shall we?"
The two Autobots, the Decepticon and peacekeeping agent, headed down the corridor after the Decepticons.
***********************************************
Death's Head - Heh, heh, heh, it was about time I bring everyone's favourite, freelance peacekeeping agent, back into this story. He'll be encountering some 'competition', either later on in this story, or in the next book. I still don't know about writing a Book 4, but I'll just wait and see what happens. And with Megatron and Galvatron joining forces, don't look forward to a 'pleasant' partnership here. Two powerful forces, who hate each other, working side by side? What the hell was I thinking? R&R please.
