What do you know? Another update! Primus this is getting weird...I'll have to be careful if I get another juiced up idea for this fanfic. Ooh, the raid! Reminds me of- Nevermind, let's not go there and enjoy the story!

Chapter 4: Rage In Raid

Night falls, the moon rises. All is quiet except for the Decepticons making their way into the Northerner's territory all thanks to Laserbeak's surveillance. Luckily, there are no others from the South who are awake except them. Some say, there is no rest for the wicked. Well, definitely not for Megatron until the job is done.

" Luckily those North furries are easy to spot," Starscream muttured. He never wanted to be involved with anything his leader does. Especially for a Star Saber! He thinks if it's his master's problem, then he should fix it himself rather than ordering the whole clan to help him.

It's not like we all agree with this, the SIC thought. We're told. If it were me, I'd settle this myself! Maybe I do need some help…

Half of the Eradicons were standing guard outside of the refuged camp. They were prepared if Autobots or others who'll interfere might come. The rest were following their leader from behind. No one flew except Starscream and his leading armada of Eradicons that have wings. They called themselves Seekers as they are the best fliers among them.

Besides him, Megatron will obviously be here. All have to be involved because of him. Soundwave walked next to him, never complaining along with his crow Laserbeak flying above. He also brought another pet who does the stalking, the darkness camouflaging him. Behind him was a bulky dragon with muscles that could make his leader's make a run for his money. He had an orange face along with the underbelly and a single yellow eye on his left. The opposite had an eyepatch attached. His body has a contrast of blue and grey. His tail had a hammer-like shape at the tip.

" Is your team prepared, Breakdown?" the leader turned his head to look at the one-eyed drake.

" Yes Master," Breakdown nodded.

They were closed, detecting the scent of the North. One dared to attack until Megatron gives the signal. After all, he was the one who recognised their scent in the first place. Plus, the close proximity between him and his thief allowed him to memorise her scent. A mix of blood, cool air and a hint of lilac. He will admit that her scent is nice. Something he won't say aloud to anyone. Not even Soundwave.

Raising his head, he saw most of them were awake so they will have to ambush. He noticed glowing eyes in the dark that were cat-like. Nodding his head, he gave the signal to those eyes. Without these refugees realising, a black panther pounced on one, mauling him to death.

This stirred an alarm among them. Females screaming, shielding their children while the males are in stance for a battle. " Decepticons, attack!" Megatron roared. So, attacks were made from both the sky and ground. Chaos, panic filled the night.

Teeth by teeth, claws by claws along with harsh cries coming from both sides. Megatron snapped a juvenile by the neck with satisfaction. He scanned around the area, hoping the thief would noticed. As far as he is concerned, he hasn't seen her on the battle field.

Suddenly, a loud thud was heard behind him. He turned around and could not believed what he just witnessed: One of the Eradicons from Starscream's armada had fallen to his death. Impossible! he growled in his thoughts. There is no way a Seeker could fall from his death. They are airborne! He examined the body, puzzled by the lack of wounds. But the eyes were lifeless.

More and more members of the armada dropped down like dead fowls. In horror, those Eradicons on the ground are mortified by the rains of Seekers. Little did he know, this was all planned as the battle head on. Starscream on the other hand, was almost going to explode from panicking. He himself didn't know who was the sniper that took down three quarters of his team.

But Megatron knew his SIC is not trying.

He beats his powerful wings, soaring up towards the direction of the latest victim. Turns out, the sniper was no other than his thief. Her eyes were blazed with rage. How dared he set foot to their 'home' and cause a war between them! How will they ever get back to the North or find a new place to seek refuge?

" You shouldn't have come here," she snarled. " Now looked what you've done!"

" This wouldn't have happened if you stole my weapon!" he countered.

" It was necessary! Besides, it was your ruler that separated the South and the North."

Confused by this, Megatron didn't know what to say. Ruler? What the slag does this have to do with the North? How should I know?!

This gave the thief the opportunity to aim her weapon, which was a simple tube to fire darts. But the leader swung his powerful tail to break the weapon in half. He then bit her by the neck, wrestling her as the made a dive to the ground. Once the both of them caused a large hole from their impact, Megatron laid a claw over her cheek.

"Now my dear," he crooned. " This is a punishment for messing with the gladiator from Kaon!"

But rather than shocked, she smiled a dangerous smile. " You know nothing."

Just as he was about to finish her, a cry from one of his Eradicons. Looking over, he watched an Eradicon screaming in pain while his body was surrounded with green flames. No matter what he tried to extinguish the flames, it would not die. His comrades tried to help him put it out but they caught the flames as if they had touched someone with chickenpox. Breakdown stood at the side, petrified for if he touched any of them, he'll get the flames as well. Even his TIC and SIC were staring in a mixed of bewilderment and fear.

" Not much of a gladiator," she purred. " Are you?" She opened her mouth, a green glow emitting from the centre. These Northerners could produce volatile flames! the warlord thought loudly.

Releasing her, he gazed his clan with one sentence: " DECEPTICONS, RETREAT!"

Falling back again, Megatron? You shouldn't have cause that raid in the first place. At the moment, I have a friend who asked me to write an Arcee x Oc fanfic. I am not sure. What do you guys think?
