Transformers Galaxy Force: Thunder Storm

Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers.

Chapter 69

Somewhere on the outer edge of the Solar System, a single being stirred. Slowly, his one working optic lit up. He groaned, shakily sitting up in his command chair and looked around the bridge. Everything was covered in frost.

He was alive. That meant everyone else was probably alive. They had made it.

Slowly, the black Transformer stood. Cryostat was not a preferred method of survival, but it had worked in this case. He had saved them all from a worse fate, wasting away in some stasis pod in the Arctic. The battle with Flora Convoy had been terrible, but no one said being a pirate was easy.

Then again, this Transformer was no ordinary pirate. He was the one responsible for the legend of the king of the sea, because that was what he was. His crew didn't know him by his real name, only by the name that the Humans had given him: Davy Jones.

His ship, the Flying Dutchman was a small, old, Cyber-class frigate, only a few football fields in length. It was one of two ships that his ancestors had used to immigrate to Earth with the Atlantis. None of the other Atlantis-class cruisers had escorts, but the Atlantis did because it was not only carrying Planet Force, but also the Chip Square. The Flying Dutchman's sister ship, the Black Pearl, had long since vanished into the ocean to never be seen again. Because the others had been decommissioned, according to the log, the Flying Dutchman was the last Cyber-class frigate in existence.

But it was enough to inspire fear for years. He and his crew had ruled the ocean when they found it buried in Africa, choosing carefully who lived, and who died, plundering the ships of the dead. It was their life, their passion, and their very way of survival. They fought the Humans that did not accept them, unlike the cowards that hid themselves as other things.

Their life was soon shattered when the new leader of the cowards, Flora Convoy, chose to hunt down the Flying Dutchman. In all actuality, it didn't matter. The Humans were gaining new technology, and the Dutchman was unable to make a move safely. They decided to leave Earth for another location, the most preferable being the home of their ancestors: Seibertron. Flora Convoy found them as they left and pursued them to the edge of the Solar System. A fight broke out as his crew tried to repel her. In the end, though, she used her Force Chip to set fire to the ship, and he was forced to freeze everyone and everything, causing them all to go into stasis. Before he blacked out, though, he swore that he would find Flora Convoy's successor and destroy them in revenge.

The Captian stood, the tool on his left arm sparking to life. It was time to revive his crew and make good on his oath.
