TRANSFORMERS BOOK FOUR :

REQUIEM FOR THE EARTH

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Death's Head - I STILL don't own Transformers. Takara, Hasbro, Marvel U.S. and Marvel U.K. own them. Drat, drat and double drat!

This story is the fourth in a series of stories I have written. I strongly suggest and urge any who read this story, to also read the first three, as elements in this story, have been established in the first three.

The only characters I own, are my original creations, listed as follows – Autobots – Outlaw, Seraphim, Gnash and Splashdown (The last two appear for the first time in this chapter.). Decepticons – Acousia, Vette, Roadkill, Tempest, Darkshayde, Hydrina, Carnage, Blaze, Thraka and Tremble. (For more information on these characters (Except Gnash and Splashdown), check out my Original Character Bios, also located on this site.)

The Decepticon Darkheart, is a creation of one of my reviewers, Tariq. Therefore Darkheart is HIS creation, not mine. Darkheart is appearing in this story, with Tariq's permission.

If you would like to use any of my characters in your stories, please send me an email, asking for permission to use them first.

Thank you.

CHAPTER TWO :

The Decepticon femme, Vette, watched the gestalts Menasor and Abominus proceed to tear apart what the fleshlings called the Golden Gate bridge, a grim look on her face. Next to her stood Cyclonus, with his Nebulon partner, Nightstick on his shoulder. The femme turned her gaze away from the gestalts.

"This is pathetic. These fleshlings hold no true resistance against us."

Cyclonus nodded.

"Indeed. Still, this planet is useful for some things." The purple Decepticon glanced around "The abundant resources on this planet, will provide enough energy for our war effort."

Vette frowned.

"War effort. Ha! The Autobots haven't even returned to this mudball, since before we left Galvatron and the others with Celestine. The Autobots are hiding away on Cybertron, most probably trying to repair the damage done to their leader, Optimus Prime."

Cyclonus sighed as he folded his arms across his chest.

"After what happened at Autobot City, the Autobots off world would have no idea what has happened here."

Vette favoured Cyclonus with a sideways glance.

"Cyclonus… what of… him?"

Cyclonus looked at her, his optics narrowed.

"Him?"

Vette nodded.

"Celestine's former partner, when she was known as Valkyrie."

Cyclonus shrugged.

"As powerful as Celestine was, I think the stories about her partner are just an elaborate hoax, being spread by Soundwave. Even during the brief battle on Cybertron, when the forces of Megatron fought against Galvatron's, and when the Autobots attacked, I never saw a glimpse of this black Autobot."

Vette frowned.

"Still, Celestine was powerful, what with her abilities and such. This Outlaw on the otherhand…"

Cyclonus sighed and was about to respond, when two other Decepticons transformed and landed next to them. Cyclonus and Vette faced the two Seekers, one of whom glared death at Cyclonus. Vette spoke in a slightly angry tone.

"What do you two want?"

The two Seekers, Thundercracker and Skywarp, faced the femme and warrior, looks of contempt on their faces. Skywarp hissed at the two warriors.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here Thundercracker? My 'other' and his little femme, out here plotting something evil."

Thundercracker chuckled.

"Probably missing their leader. What was her name again?"

Skywarp laughed.

"It was Celestine. Now, it's scrap!"

Cyclonus spoke in a dangerous tone.

"Be quiet you primitive throwback! You have no idea, of what it is you speak of."

Before anymore words could be exchanged, the Pretender Thunderwing landed nearby.

"Lord Galvatron has orders for the four of you."

Thundercracker glared at Thunderwing.

"I do not follow Galvatron's orders!"

Skywarp folded his arms across his chest.

"Nor do I."

Cyclonus and Vette looked at each other, then Vette spoke to Thunderwing.

"What does our leader have in mind?"

Thunderwing favoured Vette with a leering smile.

"Vette, you and your femmes are to head to what the fleshlings call Yosemite park. Acousia has detected signs of transformation entities there, and you and your team are to search and destroy." Thunderwing faced Skywarp and Thundercracker "The two of you are to head to the energy depot which was recently attacked and investigate the ruins."

Cyclonus looked at the Pretender.

"And what of me?"

Thunderwing chuckled.

"Lord Galvatron wants you to find Scourge… and terminate him."

Vette looked at Cyclonus, even as Thundercracker and Skywarp exchanged glances. The purple Decepticon stared coldly at Thunderwing.

"Destroy Scourge…"

Thunderwing nodded.

"Exactly, and… you will have help."

Before the others could say anything, a loud rumble could be heard getting closer. One of the remaining buildings, built by the fleshlings crumbled as the Decepticon war machine, Darkheart, erupted through the building. The truck trailer transformed into his robot form, towering over the gathered group of Decepticons. The dark Decepticon glared at Cyclonus.

"We will destroy Scourge… or I will destroy you and Scourge. Your choice."

Cyclonus kept his cold gaze locked on Thunderwing.

"Fine."

Cyclonus turned and leaped into the air, transforming into his jet form. Darkheart leaped into the air after him, and both became specks on the horizon.

Vette transformed.

"I'm heading off. I'll make sure if there are any transformation entities out there, they will cease to function!"

As Vette drove off, the remaining femmes flew overheard, Roadkill transforming into her vehicle form, keeping herself side by side with Vette.

"Well, since Acousia is by Galvatron's side, I guess you're the boss Vette."

Darkshayde, Tempest and Hydrina flew above the two sports cars. Darkshayde in her vehicle form of a stealth fighter, Tempest as her form of a F-18 Hornet. Hydrina, whose vehicle form was that of a hovercraft, remained in her robot form. Tempest flew closer to the ground as she spoke to Vette.

"What's the mission?"

Vette swerved past a destroyed tank, keeping her speed at maximum.

"We head towards a location called Yosemite. Once there, search for any transformers and destroy." She paused "A mission just right for you Roadkill."

Roadkill chuckled as she plowed through the ruined remains of a firehouse, causing Scrapper, Long Haul and Mixmaster to scatter. She slammed into some wrecked car bodies, sending them flying at the remaining Constructicons.

"You know me Vette. I live to destroy!"

Hydrina sighed to herself.

"I know we're Decepticons and such, but not all Decepticons have your bloodthirsty manner Roadkill."

Roadkill laughed as she sideswiped Battletrap, sending the Duocon flying into his Duocon comrade, Flywheels.

"So? Is that a crime Hydrina?"

Hydrina sighed once again and focused on flying. Darkshayde had remained quiet throughout the ordeal, keeping herself just above Roadkill. Meanwhile, Thunderwing had taken off, leaving Thundercracker and Skywarp alone. The purple Seeker snarled and fired his cannons, watching as another building was destroyed.

"This is pathetic! I want combat Thundercracker! I want to KILL!"

Thundercracker nodded in agreement.

"I know exactly what you mean Skywarp. It's been too long since I killed an Autobot myself, but for now, we follow Galvatron's orders. Remember, Megatron will soon be back among us, and with that new weapon of his, Megatron will soon be back as supreme leader of the Decepticons. When that day comes, both you and I, will destroy Galvatron!"

Skywarp laughed as he fired his cannons a second time, the blast narrowly missing the Firecon, Flamefeather. As the Firecon raised his arm and shook it, angrily at the two Seekers, Skywarp faced Thundercracker, smiling slyly.

"And when that time comes old friend, we'll show them all what we're capable of!"

Thundercracker nodded, his face wearing the same smile as Skywarp.

"Indeed. Who knows… one day, it will be OUR time to shine, as leaders of the Decepticons!"

Death's Head - Sorry, sorry! My update has been long in the waiting, for that I apologize. I've been busy with other projects, a lot of which are stories of mine here on Fanfiction.Net, which I'm updating currently as well (Well… a few at least.).

Anywayz, what do you all think so far? I have plans for the Decepticons I have here, as well as some others. Let me know what you think. R&R please.
