Chapter 3: Thief Of The North

The female under him had amber eyes that glared into his. Her face had a snub-like appearance, white fur with her feathered crest like those of a cockatoo's. In the middle of her forehead rests a golden oval-shaped jewel. Megatron did not know what came to him. " You're a-"

SLAP!

" So, you had to look at my face to know I'm female!" she snarled in disgust. " You parted my leg for Gods sake!"

He was too stunned. A femme like her stole his Star Saber? Without leaving any evidence? Not mention her voice has an accent he couldn't tell but it sounded like fine wine to him. He also noticed the loop rings at both sides of her head which were pierced. Finally, a gold necklace with markings he's never seen before.

" Why did you steal what belonged to me?" he demanded, regaining his focus on his thief.

" None of your business," she told him. " Though, your eyes would be worth if they were rubies."

He wanted to bring her back to his clan to sort out a punishment for her crime. But before he could grab her, she uses all the strength she could muster to flip him over, now on top of him. She leaned her head dangerously low so that she could see him up close.

" Listen here, I am going to repeat this once: Stay out of my way." She leaps back, grabs the Star Saber with her slender tail before taking off. The warlord was stunned, watching her getting away. But a smirk played on his lips. He'll let her go, because he's bringing out bigger guns to catch her.

...

" Shouldn't your pet be back by now?" he asked in frustration. He was in the main hollow with Soundwave. He had sent his pet crow, Laserbeak to capture some clues and footage of the thief. One thing is certain: Laserbeak has never let his Master and the leader himself down. Just then, a black crow came back, perching on Soundwave's back.

The TIC unfasten the tiny band from the crow's talon. The was small but it's enough to capture every picture or footage since he was the one who made it. The band was placed in another device he made to see every detail his crow did.

The footage shows the thief examining the Star Saber while the others, assumed to be her friends were laughing, dancing and playing music he's never heard before. But he is definitely sure that the thief and her 'people' are not born or native to the South the looked tired, broken, all the negative emotions on their face. As if they do not like the South.

" Are you suggesting that they are from...somewhere not South?" he inquired. Sound wave nodded, pointing with a single claw upwards. He was pointing above the group of the furry-feathered dragons.

" The North," the leader whispered. " So that's where they're from. I also assume they seek refuge here like hermits. Am I wrong?"

The visored drake shakes his head. He also reached out with his tail to grab a book. He flipped through the pages without looking up, then pausing at a particular page which showed a glacial wall that looked approximately 30000 feet or more. What Megatron concluded from his TIC is that these North dragons are running or avoiding something from the North which forced all of them to seek refuge in the South.

" And one of them has the Star Saber," he told him. " I saw my thief. She will get what's coming to her." His TIC tilted his head in confusion. What is his leader planning? On top of that, his thief was a femme?

" We're going to raid tonight," he announced. " Kill them if we must. What I want is to see her crack, broken down to a vulnerable state before I make the kill. Also, half of us will have to stand guard in case Prime or any of his Autobots nose their way into our business. Once it is done, we will get back the Star Saber and maybe anything from them as a prize."

Soundwave has no comment about his leader's intentions. So long as he gets work done, this mission will soon be over before he could flick his tail. He relayed his leader's message to everyone in the clan from the lowest Eradicon to the conniving deputy. He may be reluctant or scheming at the moment, Soundwave knew Starscream will have to go if he wants to avoid Megatron's wrath.

After sending the message, he watched Megatron muttering about the thief and how he wants to make her suffer. He shook his head. All this for a stolen Dark Star Saber? But Soundwave knew better than to question his leader's mine. If he carries on to pace in front of him, he will drag him to Knockout's den to get his head checked. He had known Megatron longer than anyone in his clan. Especially the SIC. It all happened in their gladiator days.

There's something more than killing Megatron wants for the thief. He wanted to taint her, mold her and make her scream for mercy. That, was when he will smile before killing her in the most brutal way as possible. He wondered if she is from the North, will she be overheated if he finished her with fire?

Oh, this is going to be a night he will never forget.
