Dominic was at the bridge of the Nemesis looking out at the cloudy sky.

Shockwave:*bow* My lord.

Dominic: What is it Shockwave?

Shockwave: Our latest battle has resulted in most of the enemy forces retreating.

Dominic: I ordered them to be killed.

Shockwave: Well they seemed to have retreated to underground tunnels and our men cannot fit underneath them sir. They are starting to use guerilla tactics to fight us.

Dominic: What do you suggest?

Shockwave: We need reinforcements.

Dominic: Then call the DJD. Maybe they can pick up the slack.

Shockwave: That's not what I had in mind sir.

Dominic: Proceed...

Shockwave: I suggest we recruit human allies to our army.

Deception: What!? No way I'm gonna work with some weak meat sacks! They'll only slow us down with their breathing and living!

Dominic: That's--enough!

Dominic points a finger at the Deception and their leg gets blown off and they fall to the floor shouting

Dominic: Now-- how do you suppose we will get humans to join a predominantly robot army? Why not aquire the remnants of the CIS droid army?

Deception: Those things? Sir a cup of Energon is worth more than an entire platoon of those things. And besides, they're dumber than a Zybot.

Other Decepticons in the room laugh at the comment

Shockwave: I have a few ideas my lord.

Tapping on a data pad, shockwave brings up images of human prisoners appear on the holographic projectors

Dominic: Who are they?

Shockwave: Prisoners we aquired from a space station orbiting Earth my lord.

Dominic: Who are they?

Shockwave: Remnants of what was called the "Enclave". They were what was left of the United States government on their world.

Dominic: What made you so inclined as to spare these humans Shockwave? And make your excuse a very good one or you would have wished Grimlock had killed you on Cybertron.

Shockwave: They have advanced technology and weaponry we can use and they have the manpower we will need to defeat our enemies. They will have nowhere left to hide.

Dominic: Hm. Fine. Send me their armaments to my console.

Shockwave sends over images of armor and laser weaponry

Dominic: Hm.

Shockwave: What are your orders?

Dominic: Have a space cleared for my new soldiers. And update their weapons and armor Shockwave.

Shockwave: I have already come up with improvements on their designs my lord.

Dominic: Good. And put a group of their best under the command of one of our own. Shadow striker!

Shadow striker: Sir!

Dominic: You will lead these men. Congratulations. You are the commander of the Black Devils. Don't let me down.

Shadow striker:*salutes* Yes sir! Thank you. I promise to make these men the best of the Deception army!

Dominic: Good. You will have your chance to prove yourself. In our battle with New Camelot.

Shadow striker: Sir?

Dominic: They've burned villages down and slaughtered millions in the name of their king. They worship him as a god. Let's show them what the devil looks like.

Decepticons: DESTRUCTION! DEVASTATION! DECEPTION! DESTRUCTION! DEVASTATION! DECEPTION!

Dominic: Music to my ears.

The doors open behind Dominic and he turns around giving a small smile to who was there

Dominic: Ahh Soundblaster. Just the con I was looking for.

Soundblaster: Your orders my lord.

Dominic: Shadow Striker commands the Black Devils. You will command the rest. You are the one who holds the leash to my Hellhounds.

Soundblaster: As you command.

The Nemesis boosts off to yet another battle in a war nobody asked for. But they don't ask for a war, they bring war.
