Nightstreak: The Decepticon That Changed Everything (tfp fanfic)

Chapter 72

Nightstreak's P.O.V.

I continued to ride on top of Breakdown as he drove down the hallway, trying to create as much distance between us and the undead Breakdown NO.2 as he could. 

"This is crazy! How did this even happen?!" Breakdown cried. "Something must've gone wrong with Knockout's experiment." I said. "This is bad....does that mean Knockout could be hurt?" Breakdown asked as he increased the gas on his pedal.

"We have to find him. Especially if that thing keeps attacking more Vehicons. He'll just keep creating more Terrorcons!" I said. "Do you think we should report this to Lord Megatron?" Breakdown asked. "I....I'm not sure." I said honestly. Something tells me we won't necessarily need to tell him yet. With the Dark energon in his spark, he'll sense on his own if something is amiss. And he'll be outraged when he does find out. Someone messed with his Dark energon supplies, and I'm willing to bet Starscream was involved.

"We need to find the other Decepticons and warn them. We can't allow anyone to get infected." I said.

Megatron's P.O.V.

"I see. Very well done, Soundwave." I said, speaking with the silent communications chief right beside me. Dreadwing was not far, working on one of the computers.

"Has there any other traces of Predacon signals?" I asked. "I'm afraid not, my liege. I will continue to search for them until we have found another one." Dreadwing replied, looking back at me. I sighed, giving a small nod.

"Very well." I said. Dreadwing paused from his research for a moment to look at me. "Is something the matter, my liege?" he asked. "I didn't realize searching and retrieving these fossils would be so difficult. The Autobots always seem to be one step ahead of us, snatching every fossil we come across. And then there's this other mysterious enemy out there, of which we have no info on. It has become rather frustrating to not make any progress." I explained. I clenched my fists, feeling my frustration grow.

However Dreadwing approached beside me. "There is no need to fear, my liege. I assure you, it is only a matter of time before we find and collect more fossils. And you will have your army of Predacons. And I shall do everything I can to make that possible." he stated. I looked over at him, surprised by his words. However, it made me smirk nonetheless.

"Yes. You are correct. I should not fear-" I stopped mid sentence, interrupted by the sudden pulsing that was within my spark. I let out a small gasp, placing a hand over my chest. What is this? What's happening?

"Lord Megatron?" Dreadwing asked. Soundwave looked at me with a slightly tilted head. I didn't respond right away, taking a moment to truly look into this pulsing.

"Something is wrong..." I clenched my fists, and looked to the door behind me. The door suddenly opened, and a single Vehicon trooper slowly stepped inside. 

"You there, what is your business? Do you have something to report?" Dreadwing demanded. The Vehicon didn't reply right away. Instead he stood quietly, his body shaking and shuddering rather unnaturally. Then he slowly looked up at me. "E-Energon...." he hissed out. Dreadwing looked only further confused. "What?" he said. 

"Need.....Energon!!!"

The Vehicon suddenly charged for me, a strange Terrorcon like tongue coming out from its mouth. I didn't hesitate to bring out my blade and slice the con in half, right through the spark chamber. The Terrorcon fell onto the ground in two pieces, oozing out exactly what I thought was the cause....Dark energon.

"Dark energon...?" Dreadwing said.

"That's why the dark energon within my spark was pulsing....and there are definitely more," I looked to Dreadwing, "place the ship on high alert, and have them destroy the monsters from a distance. Until we find out the source of how they are being created, we must be cautious." I stated. Dreadwing nodded, and quickly headed to the computer to do so.
