Authors Notes-And here I am back again with yet another fanfic. This one revolving around my favorite boy, Dreadwing. This guy and Breakdown need love and I'm willing to give it to him...That sounds dirty. AND I'm rambling. As you can gather by now I don't own Transformers, that belongs to Hasbro. I'm merely borrowing them to say screw you to what happened cannonwise. Now, that we got that out of the way here is chapter one of When Honor Dies.
Chapter One: When Honor Dies
All his life Dreadwing had devoted his life to the Decepticon cause. To serve Lord Megatron along side his brother, Skyquake. For as long as he had remembered it was all either of them had known. Up until Skyquake's spark had been extinguished. When Dreadwing had felt his twin's life ebb away he had hoped he had died serving their master until the very end, and had at least taken a few of the Autobot scum with him when he did.
And for a while Dreadwing had hoped that was the case, but that was no the case he soon found out. When Dreadwing had discovered that not only had his brother died at the hands of the Autobots. But Starscream, the former second in command had desecrated his dear brothers body by bringing him back from the dead. Dreadwing had found all this out when Lord Megatron had used toe Cortical Psychic patch on Starscream. Revealing everything to not only Lord Megatron but to Knock Out and Dreadwing as well.
Dreadwing recalled the betrayal he felt, when Megatron had allowed Starscream to rejoin the Decepticons. Now, Dreadwing stood in the rain, screaming to the heavens. How could Lord Megatron allow this to happen? Did his countless years of loyalty mean nothing?! Anger soon replaced the despair he was feeling, red optics looking up at the overcast sky. Anger at Lord Megatron for allowing Starscream to rejoin the Decepticon ranks.
After what he had done.
Gritting his denta turned back into the Nemesis, optics trained a head of him. Dreadwing didn't know what he was going to do now, but he knew one thing, his fingers twitched as the reached for the cannon strapped to his back. Rounding the corner he head to where he knew Starscream was. Clenching his jaw Dreadwing drew closer and closer to where that 'desecrator' was. As the doors slid open Dreadwing's optics settling on the seeker laying on the table after Knock Out had just completed Starscream's T-cog transplant, the seeker voice angering Dreadwing further.
"Starscream," Dreadwing growled, as he stood in the doorway, both Knock Out and Starscream looking at him. Dreadwing noted the look of fear in Starscream's optics as Dreadwing aimed his cannon at him.
Good. He should be afraid.
"I regret to inform you that you won't be able to spread your wings ever again." As Dreadwing said this, he fired on him. Anger rising as the two other Decepticons scrambled out of the way as Dreadwing's blast went wide. No matter, Dreadwing wanted to draw this out, to carve Starscream's spark from his chest plate. To hear him scream.
Dropping his cannon he reached for his blade, as Knock Out darted out of the room, intent on not wanting to get involved with the two seekers. Dreadwing's optics were glued on Starscream as he sat huddled on the floor, scrambling back as Dreadwing drew closer, optics darting around looking for something he could use to fend off the larger mech. All the while trying to reason with him.
Reason with him?! Dreadwing hesitated for a moment as he listened to Starscream ramble on and on, trying to justify his actions. The sound of Starscream's sniveling seemed to make him anger. Any true Decepticon would face death bravely. What a disgrace.
With a roar Dreadwing raised his sword, ready to end Starscream's life, when-
"Dreadwing, stand down." Megatron's voice spoke, stopping him in his tracks.
Dreadwing looked over his shoulder at his one true master, sword still raised. "This desecrator must pay for his actions." Dreadwing said, as he looked to Megatron.
"I said stand down that was an order." Megatron snarled, as Dreadwing turned back to the trembling form of Starscream.
"One which I cannot follow." As Dreadwing said this, he raised his sword above his head, when-
BLAM!
All anger was soon replaced with unbelievable pain, wide optics blinking as he dropped to his knees, a smoking hole in his middle. Finding the strength to look behind him he saw Megatron, his Lord and master standing there, fusion cannon smoking, his face plate unreadable. Betrayal. It was the last thing Dreadwing felt as his sword slipped from his fingers as he dropped face first onto the cold ground. Optics dimming as Megatron stepped over his body to Starscream.
"I'm Alive. I'm Alive!" Starscream said, looking down at himself as if he couldn't believe that he had escaped death once again. Before looking up at Megatron.
"Don't you ever make me regret choosing which one of you I spared." Megatron growled, as he turned away from Starscream. Unbeknownst to either of them that Dreadwing still lived...
Authors Notes- Not going to lie...I hate writing chapters to stories that take place during an episode to a show. I mean I know I could have done my own thing with this first chapter but I figured I'd write the first chapter that takes place during the episode that takes placed AFTER Patch. So yeah, so I apologize if it's not great but I assure you that the next chapters will be far better.
That aside I hope you have a good day and this is The Exhausted Writer signing off, have a good day.
