13. Battle in the Room

"NOOOO!"

"...One."

BANG!

"AAARGH!" Megatron cried, collapsing to the ground.

"GET SIXSHOT OUT OF HERE, HK!" Silvershadow roared as he tore his cloak off to reveal his blue, black and silver frame as he activated his silver-white optics at the same time. Reaching over his shoulder as he tore off his cloak, he pulled out his silver spark-sword and with a leap at Shockblast brought his blade up from his lower-right to his upper left, slashing through the Decepticon's chest.

"Acknowledgement: As you desire, Master."

"What're you doing? Get your hands off me!" Sixshot protested.

"SIXSHOT, GO WITH HIM!" the future Starscream shouted, snapping out his own blades and launching at Soundwave as the communications officer ejected several cassetticons.

"Ravage, Laserbeak: Opertation: Destroy enemies."

"I'll give you 'Destroy enemies', Soundwave!"

"AUGH!" Skywarp cried as he took the slash from the future-Starscream instead.

"Skywarp!" Thundercracker howled fearfully. The Starscream backed away, staring in horror. Then he shook himself and spun to face Thundercracker.

"GET HIM OUT OF HERE!" he roared at the blue, grey, and orange seeker before jumping back at his original target. Realizing that this Starscream was somehow trying to save Skywarp, Thundercracker leapt forwards to retrieve his brother.

"Declaration: Assassination protocols activated!" ZT-48 cheered, slashing Laserbeak in the wing as he flew past, making the cassetticon crash to the ground.

"Combat mode: Active!" the other droid shouted, leaping on the Generation Starscream, who was taking out his sword. A moment later, a blinding flash hit Ravage.

"I never did like cats much..." Silvershadow growled, kicking the damaged and offline cassetticon away. "Too many fangs, if you ask me."

"... I'll give you FANGS, SILVERSHADOW!" Megatron raged, finally coming out of the daze from being blasted and struggled to stand. Silvershadow deliberatly turned towards him slowly, raising his sword so that the blade was between Megatron and himself, and sent the Decepticon a glare that made chills down Megatron's frame.

"Fangs are nothing without claws, Megatron..." He growled, before throwing his sword, blade first, at him. Both Starscreams and Soundwave cringed at the piercing scream that echoed around the room a moment later...


"Statement: Hurry up, meatbag. You're risking the Master's health by slowing down."

"Well... I'm sorry... That I'm... Sucha burden!..." Sixshot panted, trying to keep up with the droid's pace.

"Irritated commentary: Just shut up and keep moving," HK-47 growled, pulling the green and white seeker down the hallway towards the base enterance.

"Where are... we going?"

"Answer: To our ship, where else? Now move it, before the Master shows up and decides that I am inefficient."

"You're not... inefficient... You're more... efficient... than I am..."

"Smug answer: I am a droid. Of course I am more efficient."

"...Great... Remind me not to... praise you anymore."

"Proposal: How about if you keep up, I will not remind you to keep up anymore?"

"... I'm going as fast as I can," Sixshot muttered as he followed the red droid. A few moments later, they heard a faint scream.

"What was that!" Sixshot asked, whirling around.

"Theory: Perhaps it is the Master doing his job. Continuation: May we continue on with our job?" HK suggested. This seeker was beginning to irritate his behavioral core.

"What if it was Silvershadow?"

"Irritated recollection: The Master does not have that high of a voice. Now can we move on?"

"No one naturally has that high of a voice!"

"Observation: Well, appearently someone does when in pain," the droid said, sounding quite happy about the entire idea. Sixshot stared at him. This droid is nuts!

"Query: Now may we continue?"

"I don't think I like the idea of staying with you."

"Retort: Well, I don't know how much I like the idea of staying with someone who doesn't appreciate my skills with a blaster."

"... Can we just go to the ship now?"

"Mocking Commentary: I thought you'd never ask..." HK-47 growled at him. With that said, the droid grabbed Sixshot's wrist again and started pulling him toward the exit...


"You're a... Monster..." Megatron breathed, pain flashing through his red optics at Silvershadow, as he backed away from the mercenary. Silvershadow was advancing on him slowly, his silver-white optics holding no warmth for him at all. Less than a minute had passed since Silvershadow had thrown his sword at the Decepticon, and he could already see that Megatron was barely standing. Of course, if someone had thrown a huge blade through his chest and possibly into his sparkbox, he'd be suprised if he could still stand and fight either.

"I never said that I wasn't," he said with a cold voice. Megatron's optics dimmed, and then he collapsed to his knees. With a huge leap, Silvershadow grasped the hilt of his sword and yanked it out of the Decepticon leader's chest. Stepping back, he watched as Megatron fell completely to the ground without another sound. Turning, he faced the 'Future' Starscream.

"It's time to go," he said, and with a fluid movement, he slipped his sword back over his shoulder and picked up his cloak. Starscream gave Soundwave a good kick in the stomach, pushed off of the communications officer, and flew after Silvershadow as he ran out of the room with his cloak stretching out behind him. ZT-48 and the ash-grey droid turned and followed them all the way back to another shuttle that would take them to a different Mrrisst...


Optimusprimus001: okay, so I got bored and decided to post chapter 13 now. Chapter 14 Is a long one though, so I kind of have to wait a little longer before posting it. .. It adds to Starscream's worries...

Starscream: By Primus! Don't you ever slow down on this Update Frenzy? What do you have planned now!.?

Optimusprimus001: Trade secret, you'll have to wait along with everyone else!

Starscream: ... You like to be evil, don't you?

Optimusprimus001: Mwuhahahahahahahahahaha...!

Starscream: Primus save her spark... (sighs)
