Beast Wars Prime

Dungeons and Dinobots

We're back! Hello all and welcome back to Beast Wars Prime. Sorry for the wait, but life decided to throw a couple of 'screwballs' that successfully cut into my writing time in the last several weeks. In any case, I hope the new chapter is exciting to each of you who reads it. Enjoy.

(A few days ago)

With a mighty roar of fury, the Dinobot combiner Volcanicus slammed into the ground on the planet Cybertron and shattered back into his core components. Moments later, Snarl shook his Stegosaurus modes' head before standing up. Last thing he remembered was fighting in Las Vegas and hearing Grimlock roar, and then, nothing. Transforming and looking around, the medic realized that they'd somehow ended up back on Cybertron, specifically near Iacon.

"Snarl?" Sludge asked before transforming. "Where are we?"

"Iacon." Snarl answered, seeing Swoop and Slug get back up as well.

"We haven't been here since we took out Shockwaves' old tower." Swoop laughed before realizing something was wrong. "Where's Grimlock?"

The four Dinobots turned to look at the still form of their leaders' dino mode. Slowly, the bot got to his feet and glared at the four of them. However, this was not the glare their leader normally gave in Tyrannosaurus mode. This was a look of savagery, devoid of any intelligence.

"Grimlock?" Snarl asked. He was answered when the Dinobot roared int their faces and took off running toward the horizon, away from the city.

"Boss, come back!" Slug yelled, about to chase after him.

The four were stopped however as the ground around them seemed to explode, enveloping them in smoke. Before the Dinobots could even think to react, the foursome was suddenly convulsing on the ground as electrical current coursed through their bodies, rendering them unconscious once more.

(Today)

"I'm not threatening you Slog; I'm telling you." Onslaught growled as he stared down the Horrorcon leader. "We are taking point on this mission."

"As if we'd allow you five to defile the mind of the greatest of beast bots since Onyx Prime." Slog sniped. This was the third argument they'd gotten into in as many hours and it was grating on all their nerves

"Look sucka." Brawl interrupted, stepping up to the twosome. "Our job is to secure the route; whatever dragon breath wants after that is his business."

"Besides, our hands are kinda tied on this remember." Swindle added, never taking his cannon off of Birdbrain and Wildfly. "As in Galvatron has all of us on a leash."

"We still have morals sonny." Bristleback growled.

"Funny, as one of the survivors of Monstructors' slaughter of the Elite Guard, I find that hard to believe." Onslaught retorted.

"Care for a repeat performance?" Slog growled.

"Uh, colonel." Vortex interrupted before. "Before we have a gun measuring contest between Bruticus and Monstructor, you might wanna look at this." He added gesturing to Blast Off.

"What is it Blast Off?" Looking at him, the surveillance specialists mask changed to a map of the area with several mobile Autobot signatures on it. Giving a sigh, Onslaught turned to Slog.

"You wanna take point? Fine, you got it." The Combaticon leader began. "You six find and secure a route under Paradon. We'll take care of those Autobots and join you."
