Chapter 2: Intercepted

All of these characters belong to Hasbro. I own nothing

In the highest tower in Kaon city, there is a Decepticon intelligence officer walking through the cold rusted halls. On his giant broad shoulders there is a scratched off insignia of the Iacon security officer. He is wondering through the halls aimlessly, eventually he stops at the balcony of the tower and looks out to the smelted, scarred, and empty city below.

"Sigh….why are we still in this war.."said Roller as he lements about this dried out conflict.

"Easy, we are still following a mad piece of scrap who confuses his brain module with his exhaust pipe" Roller hears above him. He looks up and see a grey, blue, and red jet above him. The jet then shifts down and transforms infront of him and leans against the railing next to roller with a grin on his face.

"sigh…I was not talking to you Starscream". Roller states, he turns around and walks back into the tower before a servo lands on his shoulder stopping him from leaving.

"You dont have to ...but I would like it if you could listen '' Starscreams keeps his hand on rollers shoulder.

"Starscream I've told you before, trying to go against Megatron is a death sentence, do not risk your spark on this.." Roller then removed starscream's hand and walks back into the tower.

"Roller roller you make it sound so simple and foolish! You know me better than that!" Starscream walks after him, keeping that smirk.

"Heh, I thought I did, the person I knew wouldn't kill our mentor and captain in the back"

"You mean the bot who betrayed you and helped send you to iacon prison for a life sentence just for doing your job! Why the scrap are you still defending him!" Starscream growls at Roller, on Starscream's shoulder we can see the scratched out remains of a Cybertrionian Air Force badge.

"...I'm not arguing this with you again…Starscream…I will forever be thankful to you for saving me and convincing megatron to let me join…but please…just leave me out of whatever you and Zarak have planned…" Roller looks down, exhausted

"...huff…fine fine…I'll drop it…." Starscream looks at roller with an annoyed expression for a while before calming down. "...but you know I'm right on this…" Starscream then turns on his heel and walks away.

"…I don't know if anyone is in the right any more .." Roller exhales.

He continues down the corridor for a while before hearing a beep on his comlink

"Officer Roller, report to the command center urgently"

"On my way soundwave" Roller replied to his comlink and shifted down into his vehicle mode and drove down the halls.

After a few klicks he arrives at the commander center door and transformed back to bot mode. He then signals soundwave on his comlink and the door opens.

"I SWEAR! I SWEAR TO PRIMUS I TOLD YOU EVERYTHING!" Roller hears screaming coming from inside the room. He looks in and sees a pale yellow mini autobot screaming, while strapped to an orange eclectic chair. Roller looked at him shocked. He knows the bot from the battle of the well of sparks. He's pretty sure this is Bumblebee.

"...Soundwave.." Roller looks over and sees Megatron standing over the poor minibot, looking at him in the optics.

"...He's telling the truth.." Soundwave responds looks at megatron with zero emotion on his face.

"...shame…" Megatron turns from the bot, the minibot calms down. Before megatron turns back around, his fusion cannon humming with energon and fire a blast right in the bots spark chamber.

"...Lord Megatron..d..did you just kill bumblebee…Optimus is going to notice his disappearance"! Roller is in pure shocked, he looks at the corpse of the scout, terrified of the response this might bring.

"Ah Officer Roller! Sorry you had to see that" Megatron turns to face Roller, wearing a horrified smile on his faceplate." Oh Roller…I really really hope you werent just questioning my intelligence?" Megatron keeps the smiles but his optics narrow."I know they look very very similar but this is, unfortunately, not bumblebee. Soundwave if you will." Megatron walks away from soundwave and the corpse and towards the surveillance monitors.

"This is Autobot Hubcap, I choose him for the similarly to bumblebee to limit how many autobots will notice this lookalike missing" Soundwave responds, sounding extremely calm and casual, like this was a normal thing.

Roller looks on horrified, they killed him because they knew bots wouldn't notice right away? He wants to object, call out this horror, but all he can do is stare at the still activated fusion cannon."...I see, I apologize sir just..didnt get the best look at him.."

Megatron gave a nod, with his backed turn, and the hissing from the fusion cannon came to a stop and the lights on it dimmed."Understandable officer, I bet your wondering why we called you here"

"..Yes sir…I will admit I'm not sure what situation would call for me"

"If I understand it you keep order of all the supplies and materials we keep correct?"

"Yes Sir" Roller looks confused and concerned. "Is there going to be another attack sir."

Megatron smirks "No no nothing like that…Soundwave show him the information we pulled from hubcap."

Soundwave nods and hands roller a data pad, Roller reads it…and then drops the pad out of shock

"...you mean"

Megatron chuckles "Indeed!...the autobots found an energon rich planet!"

(Sorry about the delay, got busy. Next week's might also be a little late. But I'll try and make it worth it!)
