Chromna was a good five breems away and at the pace as Megatron could tell he was in for a wait. Looking up and out of the orange glassy hue of Majors cockpit was the Autobot's mysterious MBZ. It is mysterious in every sense of the word.
The moon had a grayish, blue color to it, with one large hole at its northern pole. He had always wondered, just like many others, what it led down to. The moon looked like a stainless glass orb with a large hole for a entrance and neat crakes that branched out from it.
The brakes seemed to be made on purpose, not my accident or by any past wars. The odd thing was no craters are visible on the moons surface.
In the past he had tried going and taking over MBZ from the Autobot's. More out of curiosity than self gain, in a sense. But the problem was that the whole moon had an invisible force field that not even his greatest Decepticon scientists could figure out how to penetrate.
It was like Primus himself didn't want any Decepticons to find out its secrets. What he had learned from rumors and legends that only a 'Prime' was allowed on MBZ. So apparently no Autobot lackeys either.
Megatron was jerked out of his thoughts when there was a loud explosion then Majors jerking violently.
'What in the pit was that?' he thought to himself remembering that they were to remain silent.
"Megatron get out and transform" ordered Majors with the slightest edge of emotion in her vocal patterns.
Within seconds the 'con leader was standing up and outside behind a large, what once appeared to be a building. Majors beside him, gun ready.
"What's happened?"
"Ambushed", was the simple reply
"By who?" taking his rarely used and neglected pistol out of his sup-space compartment.
"The neutrals that control this area. Bunch of creepy, barbarian, psychos if you want my opinion."
Turning his head around toward the young voice of Backlash who was approaching. She also had her weapon at the ready. A sniper rifle. A BE-47c-Viper as he recognized.
"Not close friends I presume?" asked Megatron sarcastically
"Oh yeah really close", she said with a fake smile on her face.
The three 'cons sensors went off simultaneously. Each looked up as a small dark green egg shape object went flying over their heads.
"Move it!" yelled Majors
"Slag it", yelled Backlash while being pushed by Megatron to get out of the way before the grenade went off. They were pushed the rest of the way by the explosive force of grenade.
After a few moments, Megatron pushed up with his arms and looked over the ledge he had fallen and token cover behind.
Near by stood figures he hadn't seen before and presumed they were the neutrals Backlash had referred to earlier.
There was a soft grown from his left. It was Backlash who had a large flate slab of rock and debris on her head. Megatron picked it off her head and let if fall on the other side of her.
"This is just not my day", she said seating up holding her dented head.
"Night actually", remarked Megatron
Backlash looked up at the light silver commander and glared daggers at him evilly.
"Smart ass", saying just under her breath, really hoping Megatron had herd that. She then went and grabbing for her sniper rifle
Megatron pretended to ignore that but when he turned his gaze back over the ledge he couldn't hold back a grin of success.
Between the neutrals fire and defensive fire Megatron and the two females herd the hard stomping of metal feet approaching them. He was the first to look followed by Majors and Backlash.
"Megatron, here!" yelled Quick Silver
Gripped firmly in her hand was a large black cannon still holding that beautifully polished glimmer. She tossed it to him mid run. Megatron watched as the cannon came his way. Gripping the cannon as it landed in his hand, glad to have it back.
Snapping the cannon on his right arm he looked over the ledge. Watched from the corner of his optic as Quick Silver joined him, Majors, and Backlash.
"Let's see if its wielder is as good as that cannon", challenging him
To prove that he was, Megatron looked across the field. Making sure none of Silvers 'cons were in the cross fire, he toke aim and fired.
After the dust and debris from the cannons after shock cleared enough to see they realized two were down permanently, the others damaged badly and in stasis lock, and the rest were just disoriented.
Megatron looked over at the dark silver commander and smiled triumphantly.
"Not bad"
"Or orders Quick Silver?" asked Majors after a few moments
Silver looked over the ledge then back, not looking at the others who were awaiting her orders, thinking.
"There disoriented lets use that to are advantage, so lets move." she announced and transformed into her slick dark silver tank mode.
"You're not going to finish them off?" asked Megatron disappointment in his voice.
"Are mission is to get you back to Darkmount not fight off these warriors wanna-bies" revving her engine as she toke the lead.
"There she goes changing her modes again." he thought
Megatron once again found himself inside Majors cockpit in his gun mode with the eerie and mysterious MBZ keeping vigil over head.
