Within the main Decepticon ranks disarray was the best word the defined what was going on. Outside of the ranks -with lower ranking soldiers- they had their suspensions that something was going on but couldn't figure out what. Unless they wanted to fill the wrath of the current commander of Cybertron.

Shockwave wasn't very pleased to learn that egotistical Starscream had given himself the title of 'Supreme Commander of the Decepticon army'. Next time Starscream decided to pay a visit to Cybertron he would be terminated . . . mysteriously.

Shockwave had no attentions of letting the Decepticon's learn of their former leader supposed demise. He had this feeling in the back of his processor that Megatron wasn't destroyed, but he had no conclusive evidence that pointed out that he was still functional.

He wasn't having that already unstable lunatic running the Decepticon army, his army. Luckily for him the space bridge warp wasn't due to be able to open for another Earth week, so he had time to plan secretly.

Shockwave himself was working in the main control room in Darkmount with other of his subordinates.

"This is completely illogical!" he bellowed losing his rarely used temper.

The other Decepticons in the room that were present shrank back in their seats from the sudden emotional outburst from there superior that hardly used or showed any emotion what so ever. Shockwave sat at one of the monitors, working on deciphering Autobot coded transmissions from Earth.

'That damn Teletraan-1' he thought bitterly to himself. The single golden optic he had started to turn a dark shade of orange indicating his anger.

"Commander Shockwave!"

Shockwave looked up from his work at the sound of his name being called. It was one of his subordinates running in to the control room. He got to up to confront the distressed Decepticon.

"State your concern solider."

"He's back. . . he's here!" saying between breaths, trying to stay up straight.

"Be more precise!" he snapped

". . .Megatron", finally

Shockwave froze in disbelief. The others in the room had also turned their attention as he came running into the room. It toke a minute for what he had said to click with them all, even Shockwave. When they regained themselves a soft chatter erupted in the room.

"Silence!" ordered Shockwave. They did as told. "Where is he now?" asking the 'con in front of him.

"The guard at the main entrance said that he's making his way up here as speak."

Shockwave didn't bother continuing the conversation, he toke off toward the large doors but didn't have a chance to get to the door. Shockwave stopped dead in his tracks and took one step back and fell into disbelief. So did the others in the room.

Standing in the door way stood a large silver figure with an equally large cannon on his right arm. An deep scowl on his face. Red optics blank.

"L-Lord Megatron" said Shockwave after a few moments.

"I see you have kept everything in order on my absence." walking into the room

"Of course lord Megatron" half regaining his poseur

"What of the . . .change of power?" getting straight to the point. His back turned to Shockwave.

"Starscream has declared himself supreme commander sir."

The 'former leader' fell silent and remained still in the middle of the large room ignoring the stares he was getting from the Decepticons in the room. Shockwave finally toke notice of the other figures that had followed Megatron in. Again he found himself stunned that several female Transformers were standing in front of him, all had Decepticon emblems on them. Females were rare but Decepticons were even rarer. And here stood five.

"Shockwave!" bellowed Megatron

"Yes my lord" standing at attention

"Make sure my return doesn't get to Earth or outside of Darkmount. I plan on paying a little visit to Screamer as soon as I'm satisfied with things here." his voice low and with authority.

Shockwave waited a while to reply filling the time was right "Lord Megatron can you tell me who these femme's are", looking from the back of his leaders head to the front femme in the group. A dark heavily built femme.

"Are guest's. I suspect you all to treat them with respect . . .gentlemen", looking over the Decepticons present in the room. "Shockwave this is commander Quick Silver of the femme Decepticons." With a quick gesture of his arm

Shockwave looked over to the said Decepticon and nodded, she returned the gesture kindly.

"What are your orders now Megatron?"

He turned to regard his general "When will the warp gate reopen?"

"Estimated time for open five cycles(1, four point five breems(2."

Megatron didn't say anything he just looked down and frowned thank over his options.

"Lord Megatron!"

On call of his name the leader snapped his head around up toward the open control room doors "Javelin." the gray pale blue eldest jet brother was standing in the door way, both his siblings standing on either side of him.

"Despite are last space travel, I can provide sooner travel back to Earth at request." He said in his serious emotional voice

Megatron remained quiet. He thought threw everything that had happen. It wasn't Javelins fought of what had happened. He needed to get back to Earth to deal with his Decepticons and still needed time to plane his course of action. He mentally shuck his head, in the past he would never had thought of those options but no matter he had already made his mind up.

"Give me two Earth days at the most. Ready your ship, Javelin." he ordered

"Yes lord Megatron", saluted the eldest brother and his younger brothers.

Megatron turned back to the silent femmes that had been waiting patently "How much longer are you going to stay Quick Silver?"

Silver looked over her shoulder toward her s-in-c, Majors. The two didn't say anything but Megatron knew there was a conversation going on between them.

"Well I do need more time to come to a decision for your proposal, Megatron." looking back at him.

He nodded and turned toward his lilac colored general "Shockwave are there any spare quarters for are guests?"

"Yes Megatron, sector c2 sir." answered back to his logical no emotion voice. The light silver leader nodded in reply.

"Continue with your work I'll be back momentarily" turning back to the large control room doors and the awaiting femmes.

"Follow me."

Unlike the halls of Silvers base the halls of Darkmount were larger, brighter lit, and not as eerie as if something was following you from the rafters. Sector c2 was quiet living quarter's hall. Megatron had already personally escorted the other femmes to their temporary quarters for their stay. They had arrived ahead of schedule so they had a couple of breems to rest. All had been escorted but Silver and Majors.

"Megatron" said Silver erupting the silence "Majors and I have made are decision." the three stopped in the middle of the hallway and gave each other their full attention.

"Yes?"

"We accept your offer, we haven't went over it with the others but Majors and I will join you on your way back to Earth"

Megatron couldn't help but let a smile cross over his face he was actually glad that she had decided to come to Earth. But for some reason he didn't known why he cared weather she went or not but he did. Megatron simple nodded once. "Well it well be a pleasure to have you fighting by are side. One question though."

"Yes?"

"What about the ones you left at your base and the base itself."

Silver turned to her s-in-c, "Majors would like to use your communications system to contact them on a secure channel as soon as possible."

"I'll tell Shockwave"

Megatron gestured to the room they had stopped in front of. The room was for Majors. Most of the rooms were basic, consisting of a recharge bed in a separate room, a small desk with a computer, a vidscreen, and a spare chair not fare from the desk. They were almost like hotel rooms.

Majors toke the card key from Megatron, nodded to both of them and went into her temporary quarters leaving Silver and Megatron outside. The two didn't say a word Megatron just lead the way to the next room.

"So what are your plans anyway?"

"I've got to make sure I satisfied with everything here first before I leave to deal with Starscream." simply as they came up on another room

"I understand."

Gesturing toward the door "Well here's your quarters and card" handing it to her

Silver toke the card with a small smile and went inside of the room leaving Megatron alone outside.

"Oh yea Megatron" before closing the door

"Yes?" turning back to her

"Don't be afraid to stop by and check up on me ya hear."

The light silver femme closed and locked the door before he could say anything else. Megaton stood dumbstruck in the middle of the hallway his mouth slightly open. 'Did she just hit on me?' he asked himself. Shacking his head Megatron turned around and went back to where ever he was going but his head still pondering on what just happened.
