In Between S2-> S3(Megatron X OC X Optimus)

Hard Knocks (2)

         Knockout had retrieved the relic. Megatron states "It appears identical to the one taken from me by Optimus Prime." He removes the relic from Knockout's hand to get a better look at it for himself. "Ah, perhaps it is a decoy the autobots allowed you seize as a means of sabotage." Knockout chuckles "Unlikely my liege. They battled too desperately for it." Lord Megatron became confused "then pieces of a larger puzzle perhaps."

        On cue, Soundwave decoded another set. He's doing better than I ever did, and he's not even connected to Alpha Trion or Primus. Megatron congratulated him verbally "Excellent Soundwave. With any luck these new coordinates will shed some light on the subject." Knocks brags "Soundwave's on fire, and so am I!" He turns around to leave and I roll my optics. My liege growls "Keep your vanity in check, doctor." Our medic turns around and asks "Haven't I proven myself!?" Megs corrects what our medic was thinking "Your scientific expertise remains of greater use to me analyzing our latest acquisition." He stares deeply at the key in his hand "I must know what this relic is and what it can do...." Knockout sighs and says "Yes, my liege.

            Megatron starts leaving as well, possibly to put the relic in the vault. I go after him "So, who's going?" I ask. He looks to me "Go grab Dreadwing. I'm sending you both." I smile "Yes my liege!" I run off and tell Dreadwing what we were doing and we leave soon after.

                We get to a forest. It was such a beautiful place. As we walk, I say "Hey, Dreads, remember when you took me to an area like this on Cybertron before the war started?" He chuckles "Flame Forest, when Cybertron is revived, I shall take you there."

Dreadwing's Perspective

             I deeply meant what I said. He laughed a bit. We continue on our way. I quietly open my sub space and remove the small box. I had had this since before the war started. I was planning on giving it to him at Fire Forest, and I will. I will fulfill this. I have to. It would solve so many things to have him as my true sparkmate." I open the box to see the ring inside. I smile and close the box, putting it back in my sub space.

          My tracker goes off. Autobots..... "Commander, I will return in a few minutes. "Stay here." He does and I leave to do something. I won't say what it was just yet. I go back to him and we continue on our way. Just then, I hear a young voice ask "What is that?" I walk out of the area and call out "One of the last sounds that you will ever hear!!!" Bulkhead growls "Dreadwing.... and ShiverTooth...." The racer mech asks "What's wrong with ShiverTooth?" Without time to answer, Shivers and I transform and fly at them. They both jump out of the way but we kept flying. We zoom off straight into the sky. Little do they know, I've already rigged the place to blow. I see the massive smoke clouds start forming. "Ha. Got em." ShiverTooth asks "So that's where you went, clever." We circle around and find them at the bottom of a hill. My commander and I transform and land infront of their latest recruit. "Smoke. I'll handle Dreadwing. Go get the relic." Bulkhead tells him. He throws Smokescreen the tracker and he runs off. I look to my seeker "Go after him." He nods and transforms, flying off by himself. Be careful, bud.

"You love doing your dirty work from a distance, don't you?" Bulkhead asks me. He jokes "Too bad you don't have the ball bearings to fight up close in personal!!" I say "In this particular case. I will be all too happy to make an exception." I jump off the log I stood on. He ejects his wrecking ball but I push it away and get behind him, placing a bomb on his backplate. He goes to hit me again but I jump back and hit his shoulders. He pushes me to a tree but I knee him in the chest. I spin around and kick Bulkhead away from me.

He ejects wrecking ball again and hits me in the faceplate before I get the chance to block it. Bulkhead hits me in the chassis, and then shoots. I get thrown backwards into a rock, and I slowly slide to the dirt floor. "An admirable effort. But you obviously forgot how our last encounter ended." I smirk and press the button on my detonator. "No I didn't...." He growls back. The pinging was really close to me. I then realized that it was on my backplate. I pull it off quickly and throw it, but it detonates right after, throwing me to the floor. I try to stand up but I fail and pass out. I must rely on my seeker now....
