Chapter 4: The Decepticons
Onboard The Nemesis, The Decepticon Warship (22 hours earlier):
"YOU INCOMPETENT FOOL!" Starscream shouted at his subordinate, "Not only did you fail to retrieve the laser, but you also let Iron Man escape!"
"It wasn't our fault Commander Star… uh, LORD Starscream," the drone said, "Iron Man would've been destroyed if it weren't for Optimus Prime."
"What?!" Starscream gasped, "Optimus Prime?!"
"Yes, sir," the drone continued, "he appeared at the last minute and rescued Iron Man. We followed them to a warehouse district on the outskirts of the city, but prime destroyed my comrade and Iron Man fired some sort of weapon on his chest at me. Please forgive me, my lord. It won't happen again."
"No. It won't," Starscream muttered, "Very well. I accept your apology."
Starscream extended his right-hand claws and jabbed them into the drone's chest. The drone screamed.
"As well as your resignation," Starscream snickered.
Starscream then pulled his claws out of the drone's chest and retracted them. Energon spilled onto the floor as the drone collapsed, dead.
"LET THAT BE A LESSON TO ANYONE WHO DARES TO FAIL ME AGAIN!" Starscream yelled to the wrest of the ship's crew.
"But now we don't know where Iron Man is," said Makeshift, the Decepticon shifter, "not even Soundwave was able to locate him."
Starscream began to think about the problem. He then came up with what he thought was the perfect solution.
"Very well," Starscream started, "If Iron Man is now allied with the Autobots, then we shall wait for them to assist him, or for him to assist them, and then we can destroy Iron Man and the Autobots at the same time. In the mean time, send in the clean up crew!"
22 Hours Later
The Iron Man Armory:
Tony took a USB cable and plugged it into his computer. He then plugged the other end into the communicator that Optimus gave him. He was going to try to make contact with the Autobot Base.
"Computer, open a channel to the Autobot Base," Tony said to his computer.
"Now attempting to open channel with Autobot Base," the computer said, "Channel open. You are now free to speak."
"Iron Man Armory to Autobot Base," Tony began, "Optimus, are you there?"
"Optimus isn't here, Tony," Ratchet said on the other end, "Is there an emergency?"
"There's no emergency, Ratchet," Tony said.
"Then why are you calling?!" Ratchet demanded.
"I need to know more about what I might be up against if I ever bump into anymore Decepticons," Tony said, "so if you guys could send me a copy of all of your files on them and anything else that could be useful, that would be great."
"Very well," Ratchet said, "I can send them through the communication feed, that is if you've hooked the communicator up to a computer."
"I did," Tony said.
"Alright," Ratchet said, "Stand by for data transfer."
"Now receiving new files," the Armory's computer said.
"Data transfer complete," Ratchet said, "I hope those files are useful."
"Thanks Ratchet," Tony said.
"But don't call again unless it's an emergency!" Ratchet said irritated.
Meanwhile
The Nemesis:
Two drones a walking down the hall of the ship to the bridge.
"So," said the first drone, "did you here what happened to the drones who failed to get the laser yesterday?"
"Yeah," said the second drone, "I heard that Prime and a human in some kind of armor gave them a lot of trouble."
"Yeah. Plus, Prime destroyed one of them," the first drone said.
"And I heard that Starscream destroyed the other one," the second drone said.
"Yeah, he did," the first drone said, "And get this. The human in the armor calls himself Iron Man."
"What kind of stupid name is that?" the second drone said.
Before the drones could continue their conversation, a bright purple sphere manifested fifteen feet from them. They covered their optic sensors from the light. When the sphere dissipated, the Mandarin was standing were it appeared. He looked at his new surroundings and new company in disbelief.
"What?! Where am I?!" the Mandarin said, "Who are you creatures?!"
Then drones looked at the mandarin and raised their Energon blasters on him.
"A human!" said the first drone, "Don't move, vermin, or you're history."
"You dare threaten me?!" Mandarin said, "You have no idea who you are dealing with."
The Mandarin raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist, revealing the two Makluan Rings in his possession. The purple ring began to glow, until lightning shot out of it and at the first drone. The drone fell on the floor. The second drone went to check on his comrade. He was shocked and angry to find that the first drone was dead.
"You'll pay for that one, you scum!" the second drone said, once again raising his Energon blaster on the Mandarin.
"ENOUGH!" a voice from behind the drone shouted.
They looked to see that is was Starscream.
"MCM-1506," Starscream began, "What is going on here?!"
"Lord Starscream," the drone said, "This human scum appeared from out of nowhere and destroyed my partner!"
"Is that so?" Starscream said as he walked over to the Mandarin, "Tell me human. What is your name?"
"I am known as the Mandarin," Mandarin said, "But my real name…"
Another sphere formed around the Mandarin. When it dissipated, there stood a teenage boy of Asian dissent with glasses.
"…is Gene Kahn," the boy said, continuing his sentence.
End of Chapter 4. Next Update: Chapter 5: Explanations and Alliances.
Me: Well, here's the new chapter. I know it's shorter than I wanted it to be, but I hope You still like it. In the next one, Gene makes a deal with Starscream that will decide the fate of the entire universe. I don't own any of these characters. By the way, I need some oppinions. I am thinking about starting a crossover between Avatar: The Last Airbender and Yu-Gi-Oh! where Yugi, Joey, and Kaiba are pulled into the Avatar world and are able to summon the monsters in their decks. Please let me know if that would be a good idea.
