Nightstreak: The Decepticon That Changed Everything (tfp fanfic)

Chapter 76

Nightstreak's P.O.V.

The five of us were quiet as we walked through the space bridge. All I could feel was dread twist in my stomach as the view of the ship came towards my gaze....but what caught me off guard, were the black Vehicon soldiers that surrounded us on the landing deck. Megatron's optics widened, and he looked around as they all pointed their blasters at us.

"What the- have you all lost your senses?! How dare you point those things at your master?!" he snapped. 

"Uh, my liege....are these really our Vehicon troops?" Breakdown asked. Dreadwing looked at him puzzled. "What do you mean?" he asked. 

"Your friend there speaks the truth."

We all turned to the familiar voice. I held my breath....seeing a midnight black 'clone' of Megatron emerge from the ship's entrance. He smirked, revealing his sharp denta, and his purple optics glowed in the bright night with pride and amusement. Our Megatron, on the other hand, couldn't have looked more outraged. 

"What is the meaning of this?!" he snapped. "I'd watch your tongue if I were you. You are in the presence of this ship's new leader." said the clone. "What?! As if I'd ever allow a fake such as yourself take over my ship- GAAAAAH!!!" Megatron was interrupted by an electric staff striking his side, causing him to scream out in pain and fall back onto one knee.

"Master!!" I cried. Dreadwing quickly went to his side and placed a hand on Megatron's shoulder.

"You should all be very grateful," I looked up ahead, seeing now a black and silver clone of Dreadwing approach us, "Lord Megatronous has decided to be very merciful towards you and will release you unharmed." he said. Megatron's optics widened, and he glared up at his clone, optics seething with utter rage.

"Megatronous?! You dare take my title?!" he snapped.

"Oh, but I was under the impression that you no longer needed such a glorious name, Megatron." Megatronous replied with a smirk, using a fake innocent tone. Megatron growled. "Just who do you think you are?!" he snapped. Megatronous began to chuckle, and his smirk grew wider.

"We are the Shadowcons! Neither Autobot, nor Decepticon....we are not even one of you pathetic Cybertronians. We are the supreme race who overtakes the weak, such as yourself." he stated. "If you deem yourself as the most supreme, why take on our appearances?" Shockwave asked. 

"Sadly, without a Cybertronian form to take, we cannot function well. So we must make the unfortunate sacrifice of our choice in appearance in order to live." Megatronous explained. "Heh, some superior race you are....you think you are above us?! Above me?!" Megatron snapped. He pulled away from Dreadwing and raised his blade, about to attack the Shadowcon leader. However, he was once again shocked by an electric staff that one of the Shadowcon Vehicons possessed. 

Megatron again cried out in pain, and this time stumbled back. Dreadwing managed to catch him in time before he fell, but then glared at Megatronous. "Don't you dare touch my master!" he snapped.

"Now then, I believe we should get straight to the point," Megatronous said, ignoring Dreadwing's outburst, "I will be taking your ship, as well as take all your Vehicon troops as my prisoners. And we Shadowcons will make our way to Cybertron with your space bridge, where we will revive it to rule as we please." he explained.

"What?! But....but the Omega Lock has been destroyed. You can't revive Cybertron." I said.

"Oh, naive child, but I can! See, our special scientist, Waveshock, has a far more advanced mind that the likes of your precious Shockwave here. And thus, he has created a way to restore all of Cybertron. With our special device, we shall take over Cybertron and prove who truly is the more supreme race!" Megatronous explained.
