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.
**********************************************
Outside the mausoleum shuttle :
Scorpononk and Alpha Destroyer moved into orbit of the shuttle, and the transfer commenced. Galvatron and Megatron were the only functional Decepticons left aboard the shuttle. Megatron looked at the screen before him. Only twenty deactive Decepticons remained onboard. He faced Galvatron.
"Soon, they'll be back where they belong. Among their own kind."
Galvatron nodded, and was about to respond, when a panel hit the ground behind him. As he turned, a blast of energy cut into his side, as Death's Head and Ultra Magnus leaped out of the vent, weapons blazing.
Ultra Magnus fired his rifle at Megatron, forcing the Decepticon to leap behind a crate. Death's Head charged Galvatron, his axe attachment in his right wrist. He swung his arm, aiming for Galvatron's neck. The Decepticon snarled and fired his particle cannon, at point blank range. The blast caught Death's Head unawares and sent him into the wall. Death's Head slumped to the ground, not moving. Galvatron stood on his feet and faced Megatron, who was under fire from Ultra Magnus. Galvatron transformed into cannon form and fired. The blast slammed into Ultra Magnus, causing him to stumble forward.
Megatron smiled, as he stood and aimed his fusion cannon. He fired repeatedly at Ultra Magnus, who was also under fire from Galvatron. The heroic Autobot cried out, as the blasts cut into him, his right arm severed from his body, as was his left leg. The Autobot fell to the ground and didn't move, the glow in his optics dead.
Before Galvatron or Megatron could speak, a message came from Acousia, aboard Scorpononk.
"Lord Galvatron! We are under fire from four Autobot ships. Three of their attack shuttles and…"
Galvatron whirled and looked at the console.
"And?"
Acousia sighed.
"Omega Supreme."
Megatron snarled.
"Damn! The Autobots never learn! Galvatron…"
Before Galvatron could respond, a message came over the speaker.
"Attention Decepticon forces. Stand down and surrender or else we shall be forced to open fire."
Galvatron and Megatron looked at each other and said one name.
"Optimus Prime!!"
Aboard one of the Autobot shuttles, Optimus Prime looked at the young Autobot leader, Rodimus Prime.
"I can't leave you alone, can I Rodimus?"
Rodimus sighed.
"I'm sorry Optimus. I did what I thought was right at the time. Obviously it wasn't the right choice."
Grimlock snorted.
"Me Grimlock always say that. Me say you fool! Me say you idiot! Me say…"
Seraphim spoke quickly.
"Grimlock, listen. We get to fight Decepticons. You know, the bad guys?"
Grimlock looked at her, and then chuckled evilly.
"Me Grimlock smash puny Decepticons."
Over the comm., came a reply.
"Me Slag say you full of Sessium salami! Me Slag say, we Dinobots smash them all, together!"
Grimlock let a roaring laugh out.
"Slag! Good, me Dinobots together. Together we smash Decepticons!"
Another voice spoke over the comm., a deep, anger filled voice.
"OMEGA SUPREME DESTROY CONTERFEIT. ALPHA DESTROYER, DIE BY MY HAND!"
Seraphim looked over her shoulder at Optimus Prime.
"Well?"
Before Optimus could respond, Rollbar's voice came over the comm.
"Autobot fleet, we've got a problem here. Death's Head is down, and Ultra Magnus is no longer functioning. Repeat, Death's Head is down and Ultra Magnus is no longer functioning. We need help."
Optimus stood, optics narrow.
"Rodimus, take command of the fleet. Grimlock, Seraphim and Skyfire, you are with me."
As he turned to leave, Rodimus stopped him.
"Optimus…"
"I'm going Rodimus."
Rodimus stepped aside, as Optimus walked past him, the other three Autobots with him. The shuttle's outer hatch opened and Skyfire leaped out, transforming into jet mode. Optimus, Seraphim (and Kari) and Grimlock leaping into Skyfire's cargo bay. The Autobot jet blasted towards the mausoleum shuttle, dodging the energy blasts, ionising through space. As he approached the shuttle, Starscream flew towards Skyfire.
"Well, looks like I get to send you back to your grave again, old friend!"
Null ray blasts flashed around Skyfire, who banked to the left and flew low over the shuttle.
"Everyone, I'm coming up to the transfer port for the shuttle. As soon as I'm near, bail out. I'll take care of Starscream!"
Optimus nodded.
"We're ready when you are Skyfire."
The Autobot was 30 metres from the hatch and closing. His own cargo hatch opened, and just as he flew over his target, Optimus, Seraphim and Grimlock leaped out. No sooner had they landed, Starscream flew over them, weapons blazing as he fired on his former friend and mentor. Seraphim watched them, and Optimus spoke to her.
"Don't worry. Skyfire can handle himself."
Seraphim nodded, as Kari transformed into her cannon mode and fell into Seraphim's hand. Grimlock drew his blaster and sword, and looked over the edge of the hatch.
"Optimus. Seraphim. Me see Galvatron and Megatron. Me also see Death's Head and…"
Optimus drew his own blaster from his back, and checked the power gauge. Full charge. He faced the two Autobots with him.
"Remember to take extreme care. I do NOT want to loose you."
Seraphim and Grimlock nodded, and joined Optimus as he leaped through the hatch, weapons firing. Megatron cursed and fired at his old foe.
"Optimus Prime! Why won't you stay DEAD!!"
Optimus dodged the blasts and fired his blaster cannon.
"I could say the same about you Megatron!"
Grimlock charged Galvatron, Seraphim firing Kari at Galvatron. Galvatron dodged her blasts and uppercutted Grimlock, sending the powerful Dinobot flying into Seraphim, knocking both Autobots down. He aimed his particle cannon, and was about to fire, when Death's Head collided with him.
"You should've made sure I was destroyed Galvatron! Fatal mistake on your part, yes?"
Galvatron whirled and fired his cannon at Death's Head, who dodged the incoming blast and fired his missile at him, sending him across the deck. Death's Head glanced at Grimlock and Seraphim.
"You ok?"
Grimlock nodded.
"We fine. Deal with Galvatron together."
Death's Head faced Galvatron and nodded.
"Fine with me. The more, the merrier, yes?"
Meanwhile, Megatron had retreated into the crypt area of the shuttle, and aimed his cannon at the door. He knew Optimus would follow, and when he entered the room…
Optimus fell into the trap, catching the fusion blast in his shoulder. However, he also fired a shot at Megatron and smiled behind his mask, as the blast caught Megatron in his hip, spinning him around. Megatron snarled and channelled a small amount of the destructive energy of a black hole, aimed and fired. The blast hit Optimus, causing him immense pain, bringing the mighty Autobot to his knees. Megatron, weakened but still strong, smiled and fired his cannon's normal fusion blast at Optimus. However, Optimus had been pulled aside, into an alcove. Optimus groaned as his repair systems struggled to repair the damage to his systems.
Through pain clouded optics, Optimus looked at his saviour, and for a second, he was speechless. The Autobot in front of him, grasped his blaster.
"Rest brother. Leave Megatron to me."
Optimus stared at the robot, who then disappeared back into the shadowy room.
"It can't be…"
Megatron, meanwhile, had effected full repairs to his system, and looked around the room. He spoke in a loud voice, which echoed around the room.
"You can hide Optimus, but not for long! I'll find you, and when I do!"
"You'll do nothing Megatron! Not while I still function."
Megatron turned, weapon raised, to face the speaker. He stopped as he stared at the white and silver Autobot before him.
"Wha… A new paint job won't save you from me Optimus Prime!"
The White Autobot pointed Optimus Prime's blaster at Megatron.
"No, I'm not Optimus Prime. You almost succeeded in destroying back in the transfer room Megatron, but as you can see, I'm hard to kill."
Megatron snarled.
"Ultra Magnus!"
Ultra Magnus, without his armour, faced him.
"It's time to end you, once and for all Megatron!"
***********************************************
Death's Head - Another battle between the Heroic Autobots and the Evil Decepticons. But with Ultra Magnus back, things look to be shaping pretty well for the Autobots. I brought Ultra Magnus back as the white and silver version of Optimus Prime, for one simple fact. I was looking at my figure of him earlier today, and seeing as the truck cab, is just a white version of Optimus Prime, I thought, have something happen to Magnus, in which I bring him back in this form, and thus, I did. Let me know what you think. Oh, and by the way, the other Decepticon femmes, Roadkill, Vette, Hydrina, Tempest and Darkshayde, will make their debut in a very… 'explosive' way. Have a read of their profiles, in my Transformers Original Character Bios, also located on this site. R&R please.
