[Menasor]

motormaster opens his comm to Des, we have destroyed every major city for 500 miles and the humans believe the autobots are responisible we are waiting on further orders

[Deszaras]

"Menasor steal as much energy as you can still blaming it on the autobots. make sure you have witnesses." deszaras replies as he watches his fake superion in action.

[Menasor]

will do commander , and well be on our way back when we are through

[Menasor]

Motormaster opens comm link to Deszaras, Deszaras we have destroyed at least 12 major cities and filled my trailer full of energon and gave those worthless autobots the blame the world will hate them for what we did so we are on our way back Motormaster out

[Deszaras]

"Motormaster return to trypticon at once we have 0.3 breams until the space bridge reappears. If y6ou are late then you will be stuck on this mudball for another 30 breams and miss Commander Megatrons attack on the autofools" Is the reply Motormaster gets over the com.

[Menasor]

Motormaster hes his earth commander over the comm and replies we will be there in less than 0.2 beams

[Menasor]

Hello people from Earth, this is channel 2 news and i am Trent Kibbler and i am reporting live from whats left of this once beautiful city that was just recently destroyed by the Autobots an alien race of giant robots here to protect of from their evil conterparts the Decepticons. well it turns out we were all wrong, as you look behind me you can see nothing but death and destructions caused by our so called protectors, No one knows why they betrayed us and caused the damage they did, we tried to look for more survivors, but we only found a few and they were so badly wounded they could barely speak but they did managed to tell us that the leader of the autobots and his followers did this and they are tired of risking there lives protect we discusting fleshlings. What did we do to diserve this i thought we had a good relationship with the autobots? back to you Ken

[Deszaras]

The newreader states:

"Thank you trent" he turns to the camera and holds his earpeice. "We have been handed a video tape from what we are told the autobots."

The tape is played and a spliced sound video of rodimus prime declaring. "None shall stand in the way of autobot dominence of this mud ball. All those that try will be crushed."

As it continues Stalker listens to the eventuallity of his little game with captured sound clips. All the while hiding at a nearby military base.

[Menasor]

this just in aparently there are 4 more major cities destroyed by these out of control autobots the cities lay in ruins and there natural resources are gone and no survivors how can this be, why now ? maybe they werent on our side maybe they were just bidding their time until now, lets hope the President can send relief and some reassurance on how they will take care of the autobots

[Deszaras]

Stalker calmly and slowly trundles forwards in his missile station mode.

"Why are we taking a sightseeing tour?" Deszaras asks. Walking slightly behind the vehicle.

"You wanted the Hydrothermocline." Stalker replies. "After Megatron last made use of it we predators hid it away so that the bots would never find it. "

"Can't we just fly there?"

"No Skyquake is still terrorizing the humans nearby. It would not help his masquerade if we were to show up on radar."

"Fine. just hurry up. I hate this slagging planet."

[Deszaras]

Eventually Stalker leads Deszaras onto what looks like a earth naval base. one of the chinooks transforms as they approach.

"I am Vileblade. The gatekeeper here. State your business." It says.

Stalker transforms. "its been a while since we predators hid you here."

"Ah Stalker. " Vileblade relaxes. "What do you want?"

"Our esteemed master wants the hydrothermocline."

"bah its of no use on cybertron." Vileblade replies. "I assume he wants the strange colored energon cubes that the energy from that device makes."

"That would be appropraite." Deszaras says.

"Hey predator who's the blue guy?' Vileblade asks.

"He's one of the decepticons high end staff." Stalker says.

"Oh one of them. speak to Wideload he'll be able to help ya."

Stalker motions for Deszaras to follow him. "Just typical, a glorified treasure hunt" Deszaras mumbles.

"the sooner we get you what olds megs wants the less time you will spend on your treasure hunt Deszaras" Stalker replies.

[Deszaras]

Wideload was an abnoxious decepticon aircraft carrier. Deszaras grumbled as the larger decepticon carried on droning.

"Listen I don't care about anything you have to say." Deszaras says. "I just want the hydrothermocline energon cubes."

"You're funny for such a small blue guy" Wideload says.

"he speaks a good deal of truth." Stalker adds. "Help him and I'll get you added to Skyquake's earth terrorization force. "

"Oh that means I will get to play with the squishies."

"Yes you shall have free reign as long as you wear a fake bot symbol."

Wideload chuckles. "the energon storage area is in the fourteenth hangar"

Deszaras turns and heads towards the hangar as Stalker continues to converse with the Giant.

[Deszaras]

A short time later. Deszaras exits the hangar with a hover transport full of the hydrothermocline energized energon cubes. He grabs Stalker. They leave the secret base and Deszaras uses Stalkers communication system to contact cybertron.

"commander Megatron, this is Deszaras. Your hydrothermocline will not work on cybertron so I am bringing back a transport full of Energon cubes created from its energy. " He closes the com still bitter about having to call an inferior mech 'commander'

Stalker moves on ahead while the hover cargo and Deszaras follow at a distance.

[Deszaras]

*receives the signal from Megatron

Stalker returns and the two decepticons return to the fake military base.

walking into where Wideload had located the hydronthermocline Deszaras planted a homing device as Stalker chatted with the large mech outside.

He walks back outside and finds A pump linked into the salt water. "Old megs needs water so Well give him enough to flood cybertron" Wideload chuckles.

"Commander. I have done as you requested. There is a homing beacon set up in the vecinity of the hydrothermocline. Its guardians have established a pumping mechanism. Awaiting further instructions."

why are my talents wasted on this pointless endevor. It would be easy to Go MIa if the opportunity presented itself. Maybe I can engineer a way Deszaras gets lost in creating plots and counter plots while he waits for a response.

[Deszaras]

At Megatrons command Deszaras begins the hydrothermocline energon transfer.

So he wishes for others who doubt him to be destroyed. This could be used to my advantage. he thinks to himself. turning away from the machines controls he leaves Stalker to keep the flow constant.

Walking outside onto the fake earthling naval base he awaits there arrival.

[Commander Megatron]

*On the comm*

"Deszaras, has Starscream and Shrapnel arrived yet? I want to know as soon as he arrives and be prepared for treachery!!"

[Shrapnel]

Shrapnel and Starscream arrived at the naval base to find Deszaras waiting for them.

"We are here on orders from Commander Megatron, Megatron. He wishes to know your progress with the hydrothermocline, hydrothermocline."

Shrapnel remained vigilant. He was uncertain of Megatron's motives for sending them here and was not going to be caught off guard.

[Deszaras]

"Ah so you are the ones he warned me about, His hydrothermocline is now active" Deszaras says coldly. "I wonder if you share he same contempt for that weak leader Megatron that I also have." Deszaras spits a wad of oil onto the ground "Calling off an attack just because his precious bar was destroyed by some trigger happy autobot. Pah, any other commander would have sought vengeance but old megs retreated."

"He is pretty short sighted ain't he." Vileblade adds from nearby. "if it weren't for the predators this base wouldn't exist and the fleshies would have the hydrothermocline."

Deszaras now with his blade in his hand points it at Starscream and Shrapnel.
"I know you pair are plotting against megatron, as am I but unlike you my plans are far more complex and already in motion." He half turns away from them. "if you interfere in my plans expect the same fate as Megatron."

opening a com chanel Deszaras contacts Megatron. "Your reinforcements have arrived here Megatron. I shall make use of them." He closes the com .

[Shrapnel]

Shrapnel worked his mandibles in disgust. Deszaras was arrogant, just like Megatron. He too would be powerless in the face of any real opposition.

"You'd better watch your words, Deszaras, Deszaras. You never know who might be listening, listening. As for your plans, they are of no concern to either of us, us," he nodded his metal carapace in Starsceam's direction.

Shrapnel looked around at the base. He was glad to be back on Earth. He'd spent a great deal of time living among the organic creatures of this world and he considered it more of a home than Cybertron. He felt energized and alive, more so than he had in many cycles. This might just be the perfect place to start an insurrection...

[Commander Megatron]

*On the comm*

"Deszaras, the drones can run the energon transfer, come back to Cybertron and bring Shrapnel and Starscream with you. The time has come to attack the Autobots and reclaim Cybertron. Meet me at Decepticon HQ and we will gather our forces."
