Chapter 29

Galaxy Convoy ducked as another blast hit the wall above his head. He had ordered everyone to refrain from firing at Thundercracker, in spite of the fact that the Destron's weapons still worked.

Currently, Galaxy Convoy was more concerned about Thundercracker's condition than the multiple blasts the ill Transformer was firing. Thundercracker's body was being attacked by multiple infections that were destroying his body and mind. Worse, some of the infections were open and secreting infectious fluids that were contagious to the touch.

Thundercracker had holed himself up in the Command Room of the Sky Dome, trying to figure out the controls and keep the Cybertrons out at the same time. He was doing a good job too. Galaxy Convoy had taken several hits to the chest, and Backguild's leg was disabled due to damage in his knee. First Gunner was caring for two other Transformers who had taken some serious damage. A third Transformer pulled out their blaster and began to take aim.

Galaxy Convoy reached over and wrenched the blaster out of the Transformer's hand, shaking his head. The Commander turned to Backguild and said, "I'm going." Standing, Galaxy Convoy reached up and dug his fingers into the bulkhead. His gears straining for a second, he pulled the bulkhead away as the others watched in amazement at the strength of their leader. Using the bulkhead as a shield, Galaxy Convoy charged into the Command Room.

Blasts struck the improvised shield repeatedly and it started to melt. One of Thundercracker's missiles blew off a large chunk. When the bulkhead could no longer protect him, Galaxy Convoy threw it at the Destron. It struck the Destron in the center of his chest, but it was already too late. A Space Bridge opened up behind him and Thundercracker fell into it, disappearing. Suddenly understanding what Thundercracker was doing, Galaxy Convoy leapt forward and stuck his arm into the Space Bridge to prevent it from closing.

"Backguild, take over here!" he called out. "First Gunner, you're with me!" First Gunner hurried into the room and through the Space Bridge and Galaxy Convoy followed. They came out the other end not far from Blacklight City. Thundercracker was nowhere in sight.

First Gunner pointed towards the city and said, "Let's head that way. I'm picking up two familiar Cybertron signatures in that direction." Galaxy Convoy nodded, and they transformed and drove off.

Had either one of them looked up, they would have seen Thundercracker hovering high in the air, scanning for familiar Destron signals. He spotted one, and flew off in that direction.
