Hey everyone! I am so sorry for the long wait! I was either distracted, had writers block, busy, or wasn't in the mood to type. But I'm back now with chapter 11. It took me a while to type this cause I wanted it to be something I'm pleased with plus make it more interesting for all of you to read. This one sadly has no autobots in this one. Hopefully the next one or the one after. But anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter. Also thank you for your reviews. Glad to read you are all enjoying this story.

Transformers Animated: Different Angle

Chapter 11: The Cons

Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers Animated

(Few hours earlier)

Deep within a once abandoned mine, Starscream and Blitzwing stood at attention. A little further down, two other cons stood on either side of them, facing each other. One is Airstrike who stood at Starscream's left. The other, who was standing at Blitzwing's right, was much larger with four small red optics and one big optic in the center. His armour was purple and teal with huge pinchers for servos.

Starscream and Blitzwing looked forward at the throne before them. Sitting there admiring the fragment his subordinates retrieved was a tall built silver con with red pupilless optics. He wrapped his digits around it and looked at them.

"You both have done well," he said before a look of disapproval came over his face, "though it took you long enough to bring it to me."

Starscream gave a slight bow. "Many apologizes, oh mighty Megatron," he apologized, "unfortunately, we weren't the only ones after it."

Megatron already knew the answer. "The Autobots," he sneered.

"Indeed," his second in command confirmed.

"Those accursed Autobots!" The large purple and teal con roared, getting everyone's attention. "They shall be vanguished every last one of them for their many crimes against you, oh great and powerful leader!"

Everyone, including Megatron, rolled their optics in annoyance.

"They will, Lugnut," Megatron assured, "In due time. However, we mustn't worry about the ones residing on this planet. Even with both sides evenly numbered, we still have the upper hand."

"Yes, about that..."

All optics turned to the decepticon second in command as he continued. "It appears the Autobots have gained some help from two new bots."

"So, they have two more Autobots. Even so, it still doesn't give them the advantage to stop us," Megatron assured.

"That may be. However... one's a flyer."

Megatron's optics flared a brighter red. "What?" he sneered. He stood up, towering over Starscream and Blitzwing who both flinched at at their master's anger.

"Not, only zhat, but she's also a triple changer. I've seen it vith my own optics," Blitzwing added.

Both cons wanted to take a step back as Megatron's scowl deepened.

Airstrike looked at Blitzwing with a confused look. "A triple changer. I don't recall the Autobots having that kind of technology."

"I don't zhink she's an autobot," Blitzwing clarified, "I noticed both didn't have any emblems on zhem."

"They're no threat," Starscream scoffed, "I was able to take that flyer down quite easily. The other I could easily squish under my stabilizing servo. It's obvious they are no fighters."

"I see," Megatron said, "however, it appears we may have a traitor on this planet."

"Perhaps she could be useful to us," Airstrike suggested.

"Absurd!" Lugnut shouted angrily, "If she is indeed a traitor, she needs to be punished!"

"Besides, we already have a triple changer," Starscream pointed out, "even if he does have a few screws loose in his processor."

Blitzwing's face swapped to his hothead personality, "I do not have loose screws!" he snapped before swapping to his random personality, "I'm just comfortable vell off! Ahahahaha!"

"Enough!" Megatron barked, getting his crew's attention. "Now hear this," he said, looking at them, "if any of you come across this factionless triple changer, you will bring her to me so that I may decide her fate. Do I make myself clear?"

All four Decepticons nodded.

"Good," he said, sitting back down in his throne. "For now, we have more important matters to deal with. The construction of our space bridge. We still require many supplies in order to start building, and I expect more with each passing solar cycle."

"If I may, Lord Megatron," Airstrike spoke, "I know that we have nothing to worry about the Autobots, however, they have been interefering with our... your plans for quite some time. It's causing much delay with our work, including our hunt for any AllSpark fragments. Maybe we should consider stopping them... for good."

"Not this again," Starscream scoffed, pinching his brow, "just because the autobot scum intervene every now and then, doesn't mean we should waste our time on them."

"Right, because they never stopped us at anything before," Airstrike sarcastically pointed out to him. She turned her attention back to her leader. "They may not be the elite guard, but they have proven to be a problem in the past. It was because of their leader the AllSpark was dispersed to begin with. Now they're receiving help from these neutrals. My concern is the matter will only worsen if we don't put a stop to it."

Starscream was starting to get fed up with her proposal. "Will you stop wasting our...!"

"Silence, Starscream."

Starscream looked at his master in surprise, but immediately bowed apologetically to him. "Of course, my leige. Forgive me."

Megatron looked back at Airstrike. "While it is true that the autobots here have intervened with our missions, we shouldn't waste our time on a mere band of misfits. We need to focus on the mission at hand." He thought for a moment then continued. "All though, since you are so concerned about the Autobots, then I am putting you in charge of their... elimination."

Airstrike, very pleased with her new mission, gave a bow. "Thank you, my liege," she said.

"However, since we need all hands to complete our goal, you only get one chance. I suggest you don't waste it," he warned.

She looked back up, a smirk on her face. "One chance is all I need."

(Elsewhere (present time))

Kylie continues pacing back-and-forth in the cave waiting for her friend to come back, her headlights on so she can see where she's pacing. She looks outside to see the sun gone completely and starts to worry. It's been too long since Jacy left the cave.

Kylie looks down at Waldorf who has been sleeping in a corner the entire time.

"Why hasn't Jacy come back yet?" Kylie asks him, "do you think she's okay?"

Her only response is a yawn from the canine.

"She did leave pretty upset," she says with a sigh, "maybe we should go look for her, just in case."

She makes her way towards the exit, but stops when she realizes she's the only one. She looks back at Waldorf who's on the verge of dozing off again.

"Come on, Waldorf," she begs, "I can't do this on my own."

Waldorf opens up a tired looking eye, giving her a little snort.

"Please."

Letting out a little whine, he finally gets up, stretches, and trots over to her.

"Let's go," Kylie says as they both head out of the cave. Once outside she looks around, remembering their previous night in the woods.

She shivers a little. "At least it's not raining," she says, looking down at Jacy's footprints with her headlights. It felt weird to her having headlights on her feet, but they're better then nothing. Taking a deep vent, Both bot and dog follow the trail.

(Back at the Decepticon Base)

After receiving their orders, Blitzwing heads over towards the supplies they had gathered for the last week, checking to see what else or more of they need on a data pad. He glances around, seeing everyone else busy or getting ready to head out.

He lets out a vent. He hasn't stopped thinking about the triple changer since his encounter with her. He's never met another triple changer before. Honestly, he thought he was the only one.

He remembers hearing Blacknarachia saying the ones before him never made it. Either they went completely mad or offlined during the procedure. He was able to pull through her experimentations on him, though gained two new personalities as a side effect. It was a struggle, but he managed to accept it and keep his head straight.

...Sorta.

But now all of a sudden, this triple changer shows up out of nowhere.

How could I have not known zhere vas another like me? his icy personality mentally asks himself.

Vho cares! She's vorking vith ze enemy! his hothead personality thinks angrily.

But vhy? Also, I couldn't help but notice she doesn't know how to control it. I don't zhink she's been a triple changer for very long.

I like her! his random personality pipes in, She's cute, she's a triple changer, and cute... did I mention she's a triple changer?

I vouldn't be caught dead vith her! the hothead personality roars, I say Megatron should just eliminate her!

"Something on your mind, Blitzy?"

Blitzwing turns around, seeing Airstrike standing there with a smirk on her face. His face swaps to his angry personality, frowning at her. "Don't call me zhat! Jou know I hate it!"

She smiles mischievously at him. "You didn't mind it before."

Blitzwing rolls his optics as his face swaps to his icy one. "Shouldn't jou be planning for jour new mission right now?" he asks her.

"Shouldn't you be making a list of supplies we need instead of zoning out?" She throws at him, still smiling.

He remains quiet as he turns back to the pile and starts making the list, trying to pretend she isn't standing there.

"I'm over here because I want to ask you about the neutrals you encountered," she says.

"Shouldn't jou be more focused on zhe autobots?"

"I am. That's why I want to know about these new comers. If they're helping the autobots, I want to know what I'm up against," she explains to him.

"Starscream said so himself, zhey're no fighters," Blitzwing says, "I vouldn't say they're a real threat. Zhough zhey really did vant zhat fragment badly."

Airstrike raises an optical ridge. "Oh?"

His face switches to the random one. "Probably zhought zhey could make pretty jewelry out of it. Ahahaha!"

She rolls her optics. "Ya haha, funny. Did they say anything as to why?"

He switches to his hothead face. "Just zhat zhey needed it. Probably vanted it so zhey could give it to zhe autobot scum."

Airstrike thinks for a moment. "What do they look like?"

"Zhey're bots vithout decals," he retorts, "it shouldn't be zhat hard to point zhem out." He then switches to his random personality again. "Even I know zhat!"

"I figured that out, genius," she says dryly. "I mean, what are their alt modes?"

He switches back to his icy face. "Zhe smaller one is a small blue car vhile zhe other is a red and grey truck and jet. Now if jou don't mind, I vould like to get zhis done." He turns his attention away from her, trying to keep working as he puts in the remaining supplies they need on the list.

Airstrike stays where she is as she looks at him, wanting to poke at him a little. "Must have been weird, seeing another triple changer."

Blitzwing lets out a vent, not wanting to say anything.

She smirks. "Alright, I know when I'm not wanted." She goes to walk away, but not before glancing at his data pad. "You left out the metal sheets."

His head switches to to his hothead face as he shoots a glare at her, moving the data pad away from her view. All this does is make her chuckle as she walks away. Blitzwing lets out a huff before resuming his list, grumbling something to himself.

As Airstrike walks towards the exit, her mind starts trying to connect pieces. She already knows the neutrals aren't helping the Autobots.

Well, perhaps not to begin with.

She remembers the Autobots conversation from the other day. They didn't know of their existence until that time. They weren't even sure if the car and truck were bots. Now it's confirmed. And yet she's still very confused by this.

And now they're looking for Allspark fragments? Did they really have something to do with that Allspark surge from the other day? Who are they? Where did they come from?

Once she gets outside, she transforms and takes off into the sky. All she knew for certain, she will have her answers.

One way, or another.

(Jacy's POV)

"I can't believe I am doing this," I say to myself quietly as I make my way up the cliff. I decide to take the harder way instead of trying to fly. The last thing I need is to draw attention to myself if I can't control my thrusters. And I didnt want to walk all the way to the front entrance, especially if that's where they go in and out a lot. I didn't want to risk it. Also, I found rock climbing to be easy. My digits can easily dig themselves into the rock, allowing me to have a better grip. However this still doesn't help my issue with heights.

"Don't look down, don't look down," I tell myself. I feel my foot nearly slip off the edge, causing me to look down by accident. I feel my spark pounding as I grip the rock wall tighter, closing my optics as I begin to shake. I'm like this for a while, trying to calm myself down.

"Just stay calm, you're almost there." I let out a big vent as I try to push myself. It takes me a while, but I finally reach the edge. Once I'm on the ledge, I roll over on my back as I let out more huge vents of relief.

Okay, now for the hard part.

I look to the side to see the entrance as I get back on my pedes. I start to shake from the anxiety as I stare down at the dark hole.

Come on, you made it this far.

Taking a big vent, I make my way inside. I dare not turn on my headlights, afraid the cons will notice, so I keep my servo on the wall to help guide me. I shiver as the wind howls through the tunnel, not helping my nerves a bit. Eventually I come to a part of the corridor with a bit more light, but not much.

How the heck do they see anything around here?

Well, at least it's enough to know where I'm going. Sorta. I continue very slowly, my spark now beating in my audio receptors. I feel like I'm walking through a haunted house, waiting for a scary clown to jump out in front of me and start laughing.

A clown that very possible could be Blitzwing.

I shiver. After what happened earlier today, I am in no hurry to run into Blitzwing anytime soon.

"Lugnut, vill jou hurry up already!"

Seriously?!

I frantically look around for a place to hide as the footsteps get closer. Quickly, I get beside one of the wooden frames and press myself against the rock wall, hoping the shadow will hide me better. I watch as Blitzwing and Lugnut walk past me, not even looking in my direction.

"Ze sooner ve get zhose construction supplies, ze sooner ve can call it a night," Blitzwing says, his hothead personality sounding very tired.

"How can you even think of recharging at a moment like this?!" Lugnut exclaims at him. "Megatron is nearly at the brink of leading us to victory! There should be no time for recharging!"

I hear Blitzwing's head spin. "Fine," his icy voice says, "vhen ve get back, jou can keep vorking vhile I recharge."

I wait until they completely disappear from around the corner before stepping out of my hiding place. I vent in relief. At least those two will be out for a bit. That only leaves Starscream and ... (gulp) Megatron.

I continue down the corridor, my optics now adjusting to the darkness. I keep going until I stumble upon a really large room. Thankfully, it's empty. Though unlike the corridor, there's barely any light in here. I keep walking very quietly, afraid even the slightest sound I make will be heard. I look over to see a pile of beams, bolts, plus other construction materials. This must be for their space bridge. Guess the constructricons haven't shown up yet.

I look over as I come around something. My optics widen. This is their command area! I recognize it from the show! I find myself staring in awe, forgetting that I'm now living the show. I snap back into reality and shake my helm.

"Okay, gotta find the fragments and get out of here," I whisper to myself. Realizing what I'm doing, I let out a vent. "I really need to stop talking to myself."

I start searching as I move away from the computers. It's so dark I'm debating if I should risk putting my headlights on.

CLANK!

I freeze after my foot hit something. I look around, making sure no one heard. I remain still, only hearing my spark beating loudly. Not hearing anyone coming, I let out a vent.

Its not until I look up. I jump in place and shriek when I see a giant pair of pink glowing eyes staring back down at me. Though once I get a better look I calm down, realizing it's only a big decepticon logo carved in the rock right above Megatron's throne. Thankfully, he's not sitting in it.

Come on, Jacy. Get a grip on yourself.

I look side to side, seeing the many cans of oil piled up alongside the walls.

He's gonna be running low once the constructicons show up.

I jump when I hear a thud, followed by a very familiar voice, "Ow! What in the AllSpark...?!"

Now in a panic, I frantically leap behind the oil cans. I peak from the side to see Starscream come storming in, dragging a big metal beam behind him as it scrapes against the floor. I cringe at the noise as he takes it over to the pile of materials.

"Those two glitch heads! Leaving material laying around for me to trip over!" he growls as he tosses the beam towards the pile. He goes to walk away, but stops. He then turns his head and looks in my direction.

I duck down, fear taking hold. Scrap, did he see me?!

I remain quiet as I hear his footsteps approaching, making me shake even more. I hear him stopping on the other side of the cans as I brace myself for the worse. All I hear is a can being opened followed by a gulping sound. I peak over to see Starscream drinking one of the oil cans as if it was a soda can. After a few more gulps, he removes the can from his lips and lets out a satisfied vent.

"Of course Megatron would keep the good oil all to himself," he comments. Next thing I know, he starts making his way towards the throne. I immediately move myself around to the other side before he sits down on the throne. I watch as he leans back and gets himself comfortable.

"Megatron should step out more often," Starscream says as he stretches himself out, "I could get use to this," he adds before taking another swig of oil.

I let out a frustrated vent. Unless someone walks in, he won't be leaving anytime soon. This just got more complicated, and I still don't know where they keep their fragments.

This may not have been such a good idea.

Oh boy! How's Jacy going to get around Starscream? Sorry, but I love leaving cliffhangers hahahaha! Hope you all enjoyed the chapter.

I also hope I wrote down the characters correctly and not end up doing them OOC. If I did please let me know so I can fix it.

Hopefully I will update chapter 12 soon, but I won't make any promises. I will leave a hint though. Jacy gets help from a certain character. Who? Find out next time ;)
