Inside Hangar
Thunderwing watched and waited patiently as everything unfolded before him. At first he had been annoyed at Razorclaw’s absence and then late arrival, but he decided it all played into his bigger strategy. If Razorclaw was clumsy enough to practically announce his coming betrayal, then let him. It would make sure that all attention was focused on him, and he would bear the brunt of the initial attack. He would likely go after Shockwave himself in some sort of melee attack, hoping his blade, or possibly his teeth and claws, would win the day over Shockwave’s firepower.
Of course the clumsy way the Predacon had played all of this meant Shockwave would likely be expecting something from him. With the element of total surprise lost the odds, which he calculated were in favor of Shockwave, shifted even more to the cycloptic leader. Still, such a fight would take a toll on either combatant, leaving them just that much easier to be toppled by him when the time came. Perhaps it wouldn’t be the most honorable or respectable of wins, finishing off a damaged opponent, but then what was more honorable or respectable then victory? Yes, he would take the reins of the Decepticon Empire while standing on the broken forms of Razorclaw and Shockwave. Whoever was left after that would fall in line or follow the other two would be leaders to the junk pile.
Razorclaw could perhaps be salvaged some how, he had served with distinction before and losing him would likely result in the loss of his entire elite team. Shockwave however had done far too much and had ambitions far too high to leave functioning. Starscream would have to be put down as well; he wasn’t going to allow him to start plotting anew. Blackwind would easily replace him as seeker commander and help tighten his grip on the throne, as it were. Once those immediate problems were dealt with he could solidify his powerbase at a more leisurely pace.
Of course this would all have to wait until the battle had begun. First they had to go through the summoning of the infamous Decepticon Justice Division. Their membership had probably changed since last he had seen them, but they all seemed to be the same Megatron worshipping sycophants that they were before. They would be an interesting challenge to deal with in his new order. He silently stood through, watching as the Division and Shockwave went back and forth with the preliminaries before moving on to the real heart of the matter.
It was no surprise to see Soundwave step forward. There was certainly no love lost between him and Starscream. As he recalled they had both been there from near the beginning. He wasn’t certain if they were rivals exactly, but Soundwave’s appearance of totally loyalty certainly clashed with Starscream’s more power hungry personality and actions. It seemed that whatever animosity existed between them would now be excised one way or the other.
With Soundwave’s damning testimony, true or not, Starscream’s fate was apparently sealed. He doubted that the Justice Division would question the testimony of one of Megatron’s most loyal lieutenants. That combined with a history of treachery made a guilty verdict a near certainty. It also meant that Starscream was liable to try some last ditch gambit to get himself out of the situation, perhaps calling on his seekers to rescue him or demand that Razorclaw enact his plan.
Thunderwing was only mildly surprised when, instead of a plea for help, Starscream sought to wreck the entire proceedings by informing the Division of Megatron’s death. It was a way to bring a swift end to the trial, as the signal with the Division was swiftly ‘lost,’ but without directly tipping Razorclaw’s hand. It was a bit more clever then he would have given the seeker credit for. Now the next move was likely in Razorclaw’s hands now.
He frowned as Razorclaw let loose a battle cry and charged into battle with Shockwave. The lack of originality or planning in this move was disappointing and showed why the Predacon would never be truly fit to lead. He was a skilled hunter and predator, but it took more then pure animal instincts and battle lust to lead the Decepticons. He could be exceptionally skilled at leading his team, but it took more then that to lead the Decepticons. Charging into battle was simply a quick way to certain defeat.
The Decepticon’s frown deepened as he watched the battle unfolding around him. Several Decepticons were throwing around power levels well beyond their norms. Apparently Shockwave’s new fuel source was working and, if his readings were correct, both sides had managed to obtain some. This put him at a decided disadvantage in the battle. Even with his carapace he was doubtful of his chances in a melee like this with himself so underpowered compared to everyone else. He needed to find a way to even the odds.
As if answering his thoughts a nearby wall exploded in a burst of shrapnel and smoke. As the air cleared he could make out a hole, and behind it appeared to be a lab where a satisfied looking Blackwind stood along with a few other Decepticons. A smile spread over his face, his row of sharp fangs glistening from the explosions and laser fire nearby. Knocking aside a few stray Vehicons Thunderwing moved through the gap in the wall and into the lab.
“It is good to see you functional Blackwind,” he gave her a smile and nod. He was glad to see her, and apparently intact. Unfortunately anything more then a quick greeting would have to wait for a more opportune moment. He quickly glanced around the room. “I take it this is Shockwave’s lab, and I hope that means you come bearing gifts?”
*
Soundwave’s face remained blank, but he couldn’t help but clench his fists as everything fell apart around him. Razorclaw had declared a civil war and Starscream had escaped captivity with the help of one of his lackeys. Everything he had established in the wake of Megatron’s absence was falling apart all around him. He had little doubt that under Starscream or even Razorclaw’s rule he would find himself, at best, regulated to little more then cannon fodder, if not executed out right. He had worked to long and hard to allow that to happen, especially at the hands of Starscream. He would fight until the end to keep what he had gained, and if he was to lose it all, he would make sure that Starscream, above all others, would pay like no one else would.
“Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Ratbat: Eject. Operation: Interference.”
The four cassettes shot out of Soundwave’s chest, ready and prepared for their current ‘operation,’ This time interference wasn’t quite as literal. They were to run interference for Soundwave by keeping the other seekers busy while he finally terminated Starscream for himself. Each of them had also tasted some of the ultra energon Soundwave had saved in his systems so any fight would still be on more of an equal footing, and 2 on 1 should make up for their size disadvantage.
Frenzy ran to Skywarp, stopping in front of him. “Hey Warp, its nothing personal, I actually like most of yer pranks, but the boss says Starscream is goin’ down, and yer in the way, so bye bye!” The small Decepticon lifted his arms and unleashed a sonic assault on the seeker, powerful vibrations coming off his hands and heading towards Skywarp.
Ravage loathed working with the other cassettes. He considered himself a professional while the others ranged from highly annoying to stupid to downright psychotic. Still, if there was one thing someone like Frenzy was good at, it was drawing attention to himself. Ravage knew Skywarp would likely try to run or teleport out of the way, and so he waited in the shadows, ready to pounce on the foolish seeker when he thought himself safely out of the line of fire.
Rumble really wanted to just set the whole place to shaking, but Soundwave was warning against that as he might possibly tear a hole in the ship. Rumble always did his best to follow orders, but that one really limited what he could do. He was just going to have to settle for a good old fashioned slug out. He hurtled through the air in a flying tackle at Nightraven’s midsection. “Yer going down ya dumb broad!”
Ratbat circled around Nightraven in the air. “Why if it isn’t my old transport! I told you before the end of your kind would be coming soon, but I had no idea it would be this soon. You can rest easy knowing that your fuel will be gratefully recycled to other, more deserving models of Decepticons. It just makes good business sense!” Ratbat opened fire with his electron lasers as he circled her.
With Starscream’s two apparent bodyguards dealt with, Soundwave charged into the fray himself, heading straight for the seeker. Gripping his concussion gun, he opened fire as he charged at him. He knew the seeker was fast and would not hesitate to flee. That meant he was going to have to close with him quickly if he was to terminate him once and for all.
