Yet again, I start off by thanking Harpygirl91 for her review. Since probably not many of you know who the hell Sixshot is, I guess I'll provide you with his description and tech specs. But first, a little reason for you to continue reading... do the words Saturn Prime mean anything to ya? If you want more, then please show a little support and review. Well enjoy chapter 2
Sixshot:
A vile, nasty murderous sort who carries out his job with ferocious intensity. Only redeeming quality is he speaks well of those he's sent to "the great junkyard in the sky," his phrase for destruction. Has 6 forms: robot, armored carrier (with twin laser batteries), ramming-tank (with infra-red rangefinder and target tracker), jet-propelled laser pistol, star fighter (maximum speed: 80,000 mph; range:.8 million miles), and wolf-creature modes. Only the wolf-creature has no need for Sixshots 2 hypersonic concussion blasters, the wolf mode prefers to rip apart enemy Autobots with his razor fangs.
Strength: 10/10
Intelligence: 9/10
Speed: 4/10
Endurance: 9/10
Rank: 7/10
Courage: 8/10
Firepower: 9/10
Skill: 8/10
Also, according to IDW, Sixshot's "armature" consisted of metals drawn from the compacted core of a collapsed star, and his power core contained a self-regenerating dark matter fission cell- meaning he could fight nonstop for days. He's a real nasty piece of work. Hopefully, this will help you understand how awesome of a Decepticon Sixshot is!
Chapter 2
Pet
Decepticon Bunker, Oregon:
Sixshot made his entrance at a neck-breaking speed, ignoring the runway. However, he transformed into his tank form and skidded to a stop instead of crashing into the back wall. Sure, it was immature and very unusual for him, but being summoned so early in the Infiltration Protocol, so why not do something different? As soon as he came to a full stop, the six-changer took on his robot appearance and made his way to the entrance of the base.
Waiting for Sixshot on the other side of the door was the Decepticon triple-changer Blitzwing. "Megatron's been expecting you. Follow me, freak," said the tank-robot, taking extra-special care to prevent Sixshot from hearing the last part. Like the majority of his fellow Decepticons, he hated and feared the S.T.A.G. robot for his destructive power and genocidal-mind set. Truly, he was the embodiment of death and evil.
"What's wrong Blitzwing," asked Sixshot, even though he already knew the reason for his triple-changing brother trying to keep a safe distance from him. It was nothing new for the six-changer. Every Decepticon except the five Terrorcons kept as far away from Sixshot as possible. "Are you still scared of me after what I did to Flamefeather? It's been several stellar cycles since that incident."
"Of course I am, and so is every other Decepticon! After all, if that fool had gone up against Megatron, he'd probably been disassembled, but you went as far as to make sure not a single bolt was left in tact, and you did it while he was alive!"
For the rest of the journey the two Decepticons remained silent. That was until they reached the doors to Megatron's chambers. "Don't worry Blitzwing, I don't bite." Knowing the triple-changer was not really big on brains, Sixshot waited for the naïve Decepticon to breath a sigh of relief. "Too much," he added, making Blitzwing almost suffer a spark attack. The six-changer got his desired result and broke into laughter as he left his fellow Decepticon to tremble in fear.
Highway, Oregon:
Hotaru had been asleep for a good two hours in the van, but there was still a long way to go and that did not make her condition any better. Mainly, she hoped that they wouldn't be pulled over by a policeman, because of the number of people in the van made it impossible for her to lie on the back seat without being on somebody's lap; in this case it was Ami, Usagi, and Rei. "Sorry about this guys. I want to tell you all so much, but I can't do that right now."
"Shush Hotaru, just rest and regain your strength. We will have plenty of time to share stories with each other," spoke the Moon Princess as she stroked her hand through her young friend's hair.
However, the peaceful journey to Hotaru's residence in Klamath Falls was suddenly interrupted by gunfire of great magnitude. To make the matter even stranger, the shots were fired from two Chevrolet Camaro SS cars and their targets consisted of a yellow Porsche 924 Turbo and a yellow Volkswagen Beetle. "What the hell is this, a chase from a fucking James Bond movie," cursed Soran as he jerked the steering wheel to avoid the white Camaro from slamming into him, thus crashing into a tree.
This action did not go unnoticed by the yellow Bug, who slammed on his breaks in order to make a sharp turn. "Bumblebee, what in the name of Primus are you doing? Please tell me you don't intend to actually fight the Battlechargers here," asked the Porsche as he followed his companion.
"That's exactly what I plan to do Hubcap. I've had enough of letting Runamuck and Runabout get their way and harming innocent humans. I plan on taking action, how about you," asked the young Autobot spy. He made a 360 degree turn and sped towards the Battlechargers. Fortunately, he was just in time to prevent the black one from destroying the van containing Hotaru and her friends. "Hey Runabout, why don't cha mess with somebody who can fight back?" Bumblebee managed to get the Battlecharger's attention a few seconds before he transformed into his robot mode (note that although Bumblebee retains his Bug alternate mode, his transformation and robot mode are different) and slammed his knee into Runabout's face.
"You'll pay for that squirt," roared Runamuck as he aimed his gun at Bumblebee, but it was shot from his hand by Hubcap. Frustrated and out of options, the white Battlecharger was forced to protect himself from the other Mini-Autobot instead of avenging his partner's humiliation.
Without having to worry about Runamuck, Bumblebee was releasing some built up tension by beating the living slag out of Runabout (who is a bit taller than Bee). Even though it was unlike the young Autobot to be so aggressive in combat, the fact that he wasn't using his weapon made it all the more unbelievable. "I may be a squirt, but at least I can do this," shouted Bee as he knocked his opponent into the air then performed a DDT body slam. After that attack, the black Battlecharger was taken out of the fight. Bumblebee, out of concern and a bit of curiosity, walked over to the stationary van that contained everybody. "Is everybody alright?" All Bumblebee got in return was about eight blank stares and several fingers pointing at him. "Well," asked the Autobot, unfamiliar with the humans' reaction to shock.
"We're a little banged up and very surprised, but other than that, I'd say we're all fine," replied Momaru who'd got enough of his senses back to speak for the entire group. "Our van is damaged pretty badly."
"Well, it's all good then," said Bumblebee after he let out a sigh of relief. "I was kinda worried 'cause you humans are a fragile species. Don't worry about the vehicle, I'll give ya a ride once my partner and I finish up this little mess." The small Autobot gave a friendly wave to the humans before running back into the fray.
As if on cue, Hotaru's eyes shot open and she tried to use Soran's shoulder as a brace. "This isn't good. If they don't leave now, they'll die," she said as she tried to get out of her boyfriend's arms and back on her own feet. "I have to tell them before it's too late."
Coincidentally, it was too late for the Autobots as the means of their death flew over the humans at the very next second. Everybody stared at the futuristic fighter jet out of confusion, everybody but Hotaru. She knew exactly what that thing was and it wasn't good. "Everybody, find a place to hide now," she instructed prior to transforming to Sailor Saturn. "I'm going to see what I can do to save Bumblebee and his friend." That was easier said than done, especially since she couldn't even stand without Soran's support.
"No, I'm not letting you go alone," answered Soran as he tightened his hold on his girlfriend. "You're all I've got in this miserable world and I as sure as hell not going to let you go on some suicide task!"
In response to Soran's declaration, Hotaru's eyes began to water as she freed her right hand and ran across her boyfriend's cheek. "Thank you, but I must do this because I know what this thing is capable of," she explained to her companions. "I don't intend on dying out there, but I must do something to help them. Please, let me do this Soran," Hotaru requested before kissing the Iraqi boy on the cheek. Her pleading paid off and she was released from her beau's protective arms.
"You Autobots are so dead now," taunted a severely damaged Runamuck. "That plane above us is the ultimate killing machine, Sixshot!" Sadly, the Battlecharger's words proved true for Hubcap as he took several shots through his body and finally through his head. The yellow Porsche stumbled back and then exploded, much to Bumblebee's horror.
As the smoke cleared from his heated from his twin hypersonic concussion rifles, Sixshot transformed into his robot mode and let gravity pull him down to the earth. If there was any chance of Hubcap surviving from that onslaught, it was now eradicated as the six-changer's foot landed on his head. "One down, two to go," he said while stretching out his neck.
"What do you mean by two? You already terminated one Autobot, so there's only one left," argued Runamuck, disturbed by Sixshot's statement.
Sixshot pulled off a small scrap of metal from Hubcap's body and rolled it into a little ball. He then proceeded to flick it towards Bumblebee, but the force generated from the speed and power of his metallic finger turned the ball of shrapnel into a deadly projectile that penetrated the small Autobot's knee joint. "You're right Runamuck, there is only one Autobot left. You are the other one, weakling." Sixshot aimed one of his rifles at Bumblebee and the other one at Runamuck's head. However, he was struck by a wave of black energy, causing him to drop the weapon aimed at the Autobot Bug. "What the slag," cursed the S.T.A.G. robot as he attended to minor damage on his wrist.
"If you don't want to go through that pain again, then I suggest you fly back to whatever asteroid you came from." Sixshot examined the young female human glaring at him with her weapon in hand. Certainly, this was something the six-changer didn't experience every day. Sure, there were the
occasional few souls brave enough to challenge him, but none of them were so small and in such a beat up condition. "Get away from Bumblebee or I'll kill you," Hotaru threatened as she grasped her glaive with both of her trembling hands.
Entertained by the thought of such a brave individual, Sixshot decided to test Hotaru's courage by slowly closing the distance between them. "You certainly are a brave little insect for choosing to oppose me, but let's see how long that bravery will last." As he drew closer, the Decepticon took note of the trembling in the young senshi''s knees, but paid more attention to the fact that she was standing her ground. When he was one step away from crushing Sailor Saturn, Sixshot stopped and broke into a state of laughter. "Congratulations little one, you've managed to gain my full respect. I will enjoy fighting you to the death," Because she was too confused at the moment, Hotaru wasn't able to notice his large white hand coming towards her until it was too late. "Runamuck, I've decided to spare your pathetic life, so grab your poor excuse for a companion and let's return to base."
"What about the Autobot," asked the Battlecharger, unaware that he was getting on Sixshot's nerves. "Are we just gonna let him live? I'm gonna kill him right now." Runamuck was about to deliver the fatal shot to Bumblebee, but he was stopped when Sixshot blasted his arm off.
"You and the others had your chance to get rid of the Autobots and you all failed miserably. Now it's my turn, so every Autobot that still functions is MY prey. Don't forget that, 'cause next time I won't be so forgiving." Sixshot threw Hotaru in the air and caught her in his cockpit after transforming into his fighter mode. "Let's head back to base."
Bumblebee and the other humans could only watch in horror as Hotaru was taken away by Sixshot. "Slag! Prime is not going to be happy about this," said the yellow Autobot while trying to open a communication line to his comrades. "Don't worry, we'll get your friend back alive and well."
Decepticon Bunker:
"What is the meaning of this Sixshot," roared Megatron upon hearing about Sixshot's actions. "Why is this filthy organic here instead of Optimus Prime's head?!" The Decepticon overlord was absolutely furious and would have blown a few gaskets if not for the intervention of his personal bodyguard, Starscream.
"Calm yourself my liege," said the red and white Seeker as he glared at the six-changer. "From my perspective, it seems that Sixshot has gotten a little too arrogant and believes he can ignore authority."
"If I wanted to hear a lecture about ignoring authority, it certainly would not be from you Starscream," spat Sixshot as he met the Seeker's glare with one of equal ferocity. "If I were to explain anything about myself, it would not be with a rejected piece of scrap like you in the room. I answer to Megatron and Megatron alone!" Sixshot was itching to pull out one of his weapons and blast Starscream's head off,
but he restrained himself. "I will give my reasons in my report." He bowed to his commander and exited the room.
"Why did you take me with you Sixshot," asked Hotaru who was sitting on the six-changer's shoulder.
"It's simple really, you're now my pet."
