#combiners

Dusty glass showed unpolished gold and silver. An aged servo pressed against it, letting a loud creak echo across the room. Another servo came up, loud vibrations shattered the glass. Daybreak walked up to the trophies, examining them. All did bear the Enigma of Combination, yet none bore the power. The Seeker sighed before turning away. “Must be in another part of the building.” Daybreak mused. (Slenderwave grabbed a part of the Seeker’s armor) “Listen.” Slenderwave whispered. (Pounding footsteps echoed in the room. The three mechs moved into the shadows as the lights came on. They saw two Combaticons walking down the steps)

    “So, you think this is a good place to start?” Swindle asked. “Yeah, you know most like to come here and try to take the chairs.” Brawl giggled. “You know that’s me Brawl. Mechs would like to take what scrap they can get, no matter the price.” Swindle snickered. (The three mechs of Prologue slipped into a storage room while the voices continued)

    “This is great, now we’re stuck here.” Daybreak huffed. “I hope Diode and Airstrike haven’t gotten their attention.” Skillet added. “I’m sure if nothing happens, then they’ll go away.” Slenderwave whispered. (The trio let silence flood the room, their armor tense. Swindle and Brawl still chatting.

    Airstrike and Diode kept running before slipping into a small room. Both heard pounding footsteps behind them before they went quiet. The red jet slouched against a wall. Diode closed a door and locked it) “What a day.” Airstrike said. “Yeah, I was never used to running.” Diode added. “When was the last time you ran?” Airstirke asked. “Who knows, when Skillet and I killed the king of the Rock Lords. Armor was stuck so I couldn’t transform.” Diode replied. “Rock Lords? You’ll need to tell me more about them.” Airstrike requested. “Sure, they were a weird race, but still viewed our planet as land to conquer.” Diode said. “Was it the first war after Unicron vanished?” Airstrike asked. (The old war vetern nodded) “At least they were sentient rocks, rather than our own species.” Diode stopped. (He came up to a window and saw Vortex and Blast Off tearing more of the place apart)

    “Darn it.” Airstrike growled. “We’d better get out of here before more trouble comes in.” Diode said. “Why run when we can beat them?” Airstrike snarled. “I’m trying to keep us alive.” Diode explained. (The red mech kept his optics focused on the two Combaticons before stomping away. Diode sighed, rubbing his helm) “No matter what I can do, the rage still burns bright in the both of us.” Diode thought. (He followed after the other.

    Further in a hallway, Shadowspawn leaped across fallen stands in an extra storage room. His armor tense while the monster Stompsquatch followed behind. Both looked around; the ninja mech’s ears twitched. The pounding of footsteps and whispers of voices, yet faint) “More prey.” Shadowspawn smirked. (He ran ahead as Stompsquatch ran after him) “Hey! Don’t forget me!” Stompsquatch yelled.

    (Slenderwave looked up, armor relaxing) “Great, we’re not alone.” Slenderwave said. “Who else is here?” Daybreak asked. “Stompsquatch yelling.” Slenderwave answered. “Atroticons, what we wanted right now.” Daybreak groaned. “Remain silent; for we also have the Combaticons to deal with.” Skillet chimed. (Slenderwave came up to a wall and nodded) “Chatting over profits when they’ll get the Enigma.” Slenderwave groaned.

    (The two combat members kept walking. Swindle kicked down a chair) “Nothing! I swore we heard noises. Oh well, must’ve been my imagination in this empty city!” Swindle ranted. “I know, its been too long since we killed anyone.” Brawl replied. “Lets see if the others are lucky.” Swindle said. (He and the tank walked up the steps towards the exit. Silence returned into the room.

    Skillet opened the door, finding everything barren again. He began to run, the duo following until Daybreak stopped. The blue Seeker noticed something past the trophies. Something was there waiting for them. His armor tensed, getting closer towards this mysterious object. It shined, a flickering flame for a moth to come close to. He didn’t notice the lime green.

    The stands dragged across the ground. Skillet grabbed onto Slender as they turned. Daybreak got tangled up in the steel) “Run!” Daybreak screamed. (Construction vehicles broke through the walls, transforming into the Decepticon team. Each member got out their weapons, shooting upon the injured three. Slenderwave rose a barrier of sound, absorbing the blasts. Skillet broke through the tangled steel while under the barrier. Bonecrusher gripped his drill, tunneling underneath the stadium’s field. The orange music mech looked down right as the Constructicon attacked him. Slenderwave’s force field stopped, leaving him to crash into the ground. He got up, glaring at the other and shooting out a concentrated sound blast.

    Skillet ripped out Daybreak before Hook could hack the Seeker in two. The larger war mech kicked the medic away, his back shooting at Long Haul while the others fired. Daybreak’s gun came to life as he fired towards Scavenger’s excavating claw. It moved back, hitting Scrapper. The leader glared at his brother) “Watch where you aim that!” Scrapper yelled “Oh sorry! I forgot you were there.” Scavenger lied. “Shut it and fight!” Scrapper declared. “I’m ready to mix mix mix!” Mixmaster laughed.

    (He transformed, firing out globs of green towards the trio, catching them. The green armored mechs came closer, till a cluster shot from an above angle knocked them away. Hook looked towards the glass stands, finding Diode and Airstrike gripping their guns) “Think you can snipe us down and win? Too bad!” Hook said. (He grabbed onto his alt mode’s hook, throwing it towards the glass stands. It spun, grabbing onto a beam and Long Haul grabbed his brother, both pulling and tearing it off with ease.

    Airstrike grabbed Diode, shoving through more glass and transformed. The red mech threw the aged mech towards the Constructicons. Diode crashed into Hook, ramming his cannon at Mixmaster’s chest. Both Constructicons hit the ground; Skillet glared at Scrapper, who threw him at a wall.

    Slenderwave’s played loud, jabbing his fists at Bonecrusher. The Constructicon smirked, jabbing at the music mech before noticing a shadow. Airstrike crashed right into the mech, keeping him pinned. Scavenger’s armor tensed, but he transformed. His claw began to scrape at Airstrike’s alt mode. Daybreak stood up, aiming towards Scavenger as he began to pull.

    Scrapper turned his helm from Skillet. Seeing the Seeker’s intentions and roundhouse kicking the leader of Prologue. He transformed towards Daybreak, ramming into the Seeker and grabbed one of his wings. Sword gleamed right as it severed one of Daybreak’s wings. Soon the other came off under extreme pressure. Daybreak fell to the ground, Scrapper’s sword aimed at his chest) “It’s clear you don’t have the Enigma, Constructicons! Time to clear out this trash heap as Devastator!” Scrapper yelled. (The wounded Seeker froze, watching as the other Constructicons trampled over his teammates. Scavenger ripped Airstrike away from his position. Bonecrusher driving past the air mech and towards the rest of his brothers.

    The five wounded warriors stared as the green armor began to merge into one entity. Fear will strike everyone’s Spark. Devastator rose, looming over those who’s fates still had no decision on ending it now…

Remember that Thruster embroidery I did probably a year ago? Well, this is the Combiner that he is connected to.
