Deus Ex Machina
Your POV
I sat at lord Megatron's side, preforming basic dianostics. It's the best I could do at the moment cause the CMO was out. I instructed Bulldog to give him more energon as his vitals spiked. "I take it lord Megatron need's a lab assist?" I heard a familer voice speak. Speak of the devil and he shall appear. "You might say that." Starscream said as the door to the medbay opened up, allowing Starscream and Knockout to enter.
Me and Bulldog saluted as they came in. "Woah." Knockout gasped a bit. "Yeah. Not the best shape he's been in, but you're here to fix that." I said. Knockout nodded as Starscream came closer. "Sadly, our inevitably former Lord Megatron has been like this for some time. But the crew took a vote, and it was decided that an expert might put him on the road to recovery." Starscream informed Knockout.
"I voted he gets help." I said. "I've done plenty of bodywork you two, but I'm better at breaking them than fixing them. It would help if I had my assistant." Knockout stated. "And where is he? You both were summoned." I said. "We were hot on a fresh energon trail when you called. Breakdown will show when he's through scanning it." Knockout explained. I transfered the vital scans to Knockout datapad as Bulldog picked me up.
We got alerted by Soundwave that Breakdown was on the bridge with a message. We made it there after leaving a vehicon to watch over Megatron. Once on the bridge Breakdown wasted no time. "Commander, Sergeant. The Autobots are on the trail of a gold orb. I saw it in a picture." He said. Soundwave pulled up a picture of the thing being held by a statue. "That's definitly it." Breakdown confirmed.
"Then I'm afraid Megatron's well being will will have to wait. It's harvest time." Starscream said, recgonizing it. "What is it?" Breakdown asked. "An energon harvester. Made by the aincents, it can rip the energon out of anything. Whether it be a vein, or an Autobots." I said. "Such a shame when a human knows more about our history than you. Might I advise getting a history lesson from the database after this mission?" Knockout taunted.
"Maybe. Or I'll just leave the knowage alone until the time is right." Breakdown replied. "Enough! Make your way to the muesum and retrieve it. Knockout, Breakdown, keep the Autobots busy. Soundwave, Darby, retrieve it." Starscream ordered. Yes, Commander Starscream." We said. Knockout and Breakdown took a groundbridge, while I got a ride with Soundwave. I made sure my minicons were ready before heading out.
"It'll do us good to let the Autobots take care of getting the harvester to the cargo bay, then we can snatch it from them." I planned. "Agreeded." Soundwave replied. We closed on as Knockout told us the Autobots engaged them. Soundwave transformed, letting me ride his shoulder. We made our apporach to the slightly opened garage door. "Arcee!" I head Jack yell. Again dude? Just fuck off!
Soundwave lifed the door allowing us to see Jack, a short nerd, and a...... MC!? "It's Soundwave!" Shorty yelled. I hopped down and pointed by rifle at them. "Decepticons, Superior, Autobots, Inferior." I stated, my voice changer hid my identity. "And Soundblaster!" MC said. Jack looked at me with a bit of anger. I kept them pinned as Soundwave walked past them, grabbed the harvester, and left.
As he walked over me, he used one of his tenticles to grab me, bringing me into his subspace which became a cockpit as he transformed and flew away. Soundblaster? I kinda like it. I commed the lovers. "Knockout! Breakdown! We have what we need! Retreat!" I ordered. I'm a Sergeant Major, I outrank them. "Roger that." Knockout said, cutting the call. We left back twords warship.
We came back only for Starscream to grab the harvester and bring me, Knockout, Breakdown, and a few vehicons to a exposed deposit that Breakdown found earlier. I pearched upon a pillar with a prototype sniper I could use more in the future if the field test went well. It had limited transformation allowing it to latch onto a user. It also had dna tech in it so only I can use it. It fired a, punch of energon, rather than a stab.
"Why move mountains now, when we have a motherload of energon right here for the taking?" Starscream asked himself. "Courtisy of this gift from ainceint Autobots!" "Actually, commander Starscream, it was a gift from Breakdown and myself." Knockout gloated. Starscream then pulled out the harvester and shot it at the duo, only for them to doge and a vehicon get hit, his energon leaving his body, killing him. "Dear god." I gasped.
"All that energon, in such a tiny vessel." Starscream said. "Those aincent Autobots never missed a trick, Lord Starscream." Knockout boot licked. Starscream pointed the harvester at them once again, he lowered it before turing it on the unmined energon. I heard a shatter, then looked to find two Autobots. Bulkhead, and the unknown femme that tried to get me when I first met Bulldog. She had a hammer.
"Back for seconds?" Breakdown asked before he and knockout charged them. I used suppresive fire to force the femme back, allowing the duo to double team Bulkhead. She fell behind a stone wall that my shots could not penatrate. I jumped from pillar to pillar, shooting her whenever she went behind new cover. I then pulled out my sword and jumped over her new cover. I then got blindsided by her hammer.
I was sent flying back into Knockout who was out the ground. My world fadded in and out as Knockout and Breakdown got back up. I gained my bearings and joined them. Breakdown threw the femme next to a now downed Bulkhead. "They're a glutton for punishment." Knockout said. Breakdown agreed. Suddenly, a groundbridge activated behind us. Out came the Autobots, guns alight as they shot at us.
"Fight?" Breakdown asked. "No." I said. "Drive." Knockout said, allowing me in his vehicle form as we drove off. We took a groundbridge to the Nemesis. "Man, that fucking hurt." I said, getting out of Knockout. "Well, if you're staying, I'm going to the medbay, my paintjob is ruined!" Knockout said, leaving with Breakdown who gave a goodbye wave. I suddenly found myself getting carried off by Soundwave.
He carried me to our shared quarters where he set me down on a slab where we worked on projects. I detached the prototype, setting it on it's stand before Soundwave put me in a empty spot, getting a scanner out. "Soundwave, I'm fine. Your armor held up good." I said. "Not good enough!" He played a recording of Megatron before showing my a scan of my body, showing a cracked rib. "How?" He asked.
"Some blue femme with a fucking hammer. She smacked me into Knockout." I said as I laid on another slab. He showed a picture of her. "Yeah! That bitch!" I said. He pushed me down before tellimg me her name. "Solar-Glare." He played two recordings. He took off my visor before giving me a mask to breath in while he worked on me. "Relax. Tomarrow. Work on Megatron." A deep soothing voice said as I left the relm of the awake.
