The Decepticon control room was quiet as it ever got. Really the truth was most of the 'cons were out on a mission lead by their new found 'leader'. Soundwave sat at his usual station silent while typing away on his keyboard at a mile a minute. He had refused to go on this mission, but he would never tell anyone that. He just bent the truth and said he had priority work he had to finish. That was why he was here and not out with the other 'cons.
The robotic panther, Ravage sat at his masters feet fast asleep, a slight purr coming from him. The twins, Rumble and Frenzy sat in his chest compartment also asleep. Laserbeak was perched atop the computers monitor that Soundwave was working at. He was between off-line and awake. Soundwaves final cassettes, Buzzsaw and Ratbat, was no were to be found but Soundwave knew, that was his forever job, to look after his creations. No wonder the twins called him 'dad' sometimes.
This was how they liked it. Quiet, calm, no one to disturb them, the only thing making a sound was the steady humm of the computers and the occasional noise of one them stretching. Naturally the peace wouldn't last, and it didn't.
As the control room doors flew open "You're all ingrates!" yelled a scratchy, irritated voice.
Soundwave missed typed, messing up a good paragraph of his work. Ravage growled angrily and put his steel paws over his head. Laserbeak lost his balance and nearly fell off his perch. The twins protested as well.
"What are you talking about?! You're the one who got your tail fins blown off!" someone barked back
Soundwave turned around toward the incoming Decepticon commotion from their latest mission, a fail one by the looks of it. "Well if you would had done as you're told I wouldn't have!"
"And like you known of teamwork."
"I have five wing mates of course I do!" referring to the Coneheads and his brethren.
"I have never seen them work together!"
"That's a lie!"
Soundwave turned back around toward his work and tried to ignore Starscream and the triple-changer argument who were now staring each other down.
"Get out of my sight now!" barked Starscream turning to go to 'his' throne.
"Fine I will! The Combaticons invited me for some energon anyway." Astrotrain turned on his heel to leave.
"Hey wait up Astrotrain!" called Blitzwing running after his partner in crime.
Starscream let out a snort and sat down in the chair, 'All muscle cables no brains' he thought bitterly to himself.
Only half of the team was present. It was likely that the rest was in the med-bay getting repairs. Ultimately the room was quiet with the light voices of the Decepticons. Starscream looked down at the inside of his leg were the sparks and wires came out from a large scorched gash in his right leg. He was lucky that the claws of one of the Dinobots didn't pierce any vital fluid lines. His repair systems could handle the rest he just had to get rid of the useless wires.
"Its really pathetic if you ask me."
The whole room fell dead silent even the humm of the computers seemed to die. Starscream optics widened at the sound of that voice. Looking up slowly, standing near the control room doors stood that all too familiar figure. His optics red and that large evil grin on his face. Starscream ignored the figures standing beside him.
"I ran by medical-bay. I'm ashamed Starscream." sarcastically
"Meg-Megatron?" stuttering "You're dead!"
"On the contrary I'm alive and well Screamer; unfortunately I can't say the same thing for you in a few moments."
Megatron started to walk forward that evil grin still plastered on his face. The seeker made sure not to put weight on his busted leg but he stood ready. The few Decepticons in the room had backed off to either side of the room; they knew what was coming next.
Megatron lunged at the red seeker pushing him down into the base of the throne cracking his cockpit that sat on the seekers chest.
"Megatron you were dead, I did what a second in command is suppose to do!" he cried
For a split second the two made optic contact. Megatron brought his black fist down hard just barely grazing the side of the seekers head. Using his good leg Starsceam kick the infuriated Megatron off of him. Before Megatron realized what had happened the seeker had transformed and plowed threw the control room doors. Megatron took off after him in a split second.
"Get back here you over grown chicken!" he roared
For once in Starscreams life his summed up his odds that were against him, he didn't stand a chance against Megatron with his busted leg and 'bruised', dented, torn-up frame, and now messed up nosecone.
The Pacific Ocean was calm. The blue sky was filled with gulls and white puffy clouds. The gulls were hunting for fish and arguing. With in seconds the salty water started to shift and move as a dark figure come up from the deeps of the Pacific. The gulls scattered as the monstrous tower came rising up and out of the salt water. The tower opened its mouth letting the water drip down onto the landing pad.
Starscream shot out of the towers mouth, Megatron running after him and stopped at the edge of the landing pad. Aiming his fusion cannon and fire at the retreating seeker twice.
"And don't come back until I need you for a mission!" he bellowed
Starsceam dodged both of Megatrons blasts but just barely.
Astrotrain and Blitzwing had returned to the control room sense their run in with Megatron on their way out. They enjoyed watching Megatron go after Starscream to say the least.
Skywarp and Thundercraker studied the femmes that their leader had brought in with him from who knows were. One of them was staring them down daring them to try something.
Astrotrain and Blitzwings attention was on the largest femme, a dark silver tank who had a little red Transformer behind her that only came up to their mid thigh, her waist.
Majors stood not to fare from Quick Silver. Wanting to take in her surroundings her gaze settled on the blue cassette deck across the room whose attention was also drawn to the femmes. Majors optics widened with she realized who the blue deck was, question was did he realize who she and her sister was.
They all turned their attention to Megatron who walked in threw the double doors "I think I speak for us all, where've you been and what happened?" asked Skywarp
"It's a long story but I've been on Cybertron taking care of business." he answered simply. Megatron walked up to his throne and examined the damage done.
"What of the Jet Brother's Megatron?" asked Dirge
"I don't know they dropped use off here."
"Off gallivanting like usual." sighed Rumble who had ejected himself because of all the commotion and return of their leader.
Frenzy turned to brother "Gallivanting?"
"Whose are 'visitors' anyway lord Megatron" asked Thundercraker blankly
"They are not visitors Thundercraker, their are new recruits the femme 'con team." Megatron turned toward the tank femme "This is their commander, Quick Silver." On her introduction Quick Silver nodded in greeting. "And I suspect you to treat them like their any other part of the team." turning to the two triple changers. "And respect us as well" added Silver crossing her arms over her chest.
Skywarp crouched down to get optic-to-optic with the little red Transformer "What's up with the red runt?" rudely
"He's known of your concern seeker" stepping forward protectively
"Hey don't worry, I'm not going to eat him!" standing up straight. Rumble and Frenzy knew other wise.
Soundwave looked over the group again and this time his gaze settled on the flyer nearest Quick Silver. He couldn't help but notice she looked familiar for some reason.
"Soundwave!"
"Sir?" jolting him out of his thoughts
"Prepare and organize reports for them so they can get synchronized with are present condition here on Earth. Download any information they may need." ordering
"Yes sir" truing to as his commander ordered
"What of Starscream, Megatron?" asked Thundercraker
"Don't worry about him, he'll be back" solemnly
"Now the rest of you get back to work!" they quickly complied. Megatron turned back toward Quick Silver "Welcome to the Nemesis and Earth."
The rest of that short day went by fast. The femmes were latter assigned their own quarters. Jockey, the red 'con and only mech out of Quick Silvers team, as they found out, made quick friends with the cassettes brothers, Rumble and Frenzy. Soundwave above all else was glad to have his leader back to restore a firm peace in the Decepticon ranks, well what peace was already there that was. Starscream did come back under the quiet of night to ensure his own safety.
End. . .
