Old Scores

Ch 1: The Score

Nothing but the hallway of the Nemesis, the Decepticons' war ship. A soldier walks by, just as the faint, green glow of a groundbridge appears. A metal hand lunges out and grabs the soldier's neck, strangling him, till he passes out. The soldier falls to the ground, limp, and a hooded figure walks out of the groundbridge.

The groundbridge closes and the figure continues through the halls, careful to avoid any more Decepticon soldiers. After some time, they come across the Vault, filled with items that the Decepticons have taken for themselves. The hooded figure looks around. "Where is it?!" They mutter.

Meanwhile, on the main deck, Soundwave is looking through security cameras on the ship till he comes across the cameras set up in the vault. He gets up and walks over to Megatron, standing above all the other cons on deck. The leader glances at the surveillance chief, who then plays a live recording of the security camera feed, revealing the hooded figure on the camera. A slow, devious smile grows on Megatron's face. "Seems we have an uninvited guest." Megatron turns and starts to leave the area. "I'll make sure that they receive a proper, Decepticon welcome." The doors suddenly close behind him.

Back in the vault, the robed figure walks around, looking. "Come on! You still have to have it after all this time, Bucket helmet." They continue to search, coming across the different treasures the Decepticons have kept over the years. "Ugh... where is it?!"

"Looking for something?" A voice asks from behind. The robed figure tenses up as they glance behind themselves to see Megatron.

"I see you didn't waste any time to let yourself in." Megatron states in a mocking manner. The figure just stands, glaring at Megatron. The two stand in silence for a bit before Megatron pulls his sword out. "If you won't tell me what you are doing on my ship, I'll make sure you will never leave again." The figure is unfazed by his threat. Instead, their metal arm quickly transforms into a blaster and fires at Megatron. Megatron quickly dodges the hit and sees the arm transform back to normal.

"You have something I want back..." The figure finally says, pointing at Megatron with their metal arm. Megatron just glares at them till it clicks. A wicked smile spreads on his face. And he laughs.

"You wouldn't need that old thing anymore, Autobot." The figure freezes in place, taken aback by his words. "That disguise really held up, but I remember you. I remember when you tried to steal Energon with your little assassin friend. And i will never forget that look of terror in your eyes when i sliced your arm off." Megatron slowly walks around the figure, taunting them, just while they stand there, frozen in place. As Megatron finishes talking, he rips the robe off the figure to reveal an older, more scarred Stitch.
