Megaton Beginnings: All Hail Megaton!

All hail Megatron: Beginnings

 

Cybertron: Trypticon base

 

Megatron sat upon his throne, smoke still rising from the barrel of his fusion cannon, as Shockwave marched out of the tyrants base with a fresh wound in the shoulder, courtesy of the Decepticon leader himself. Megatron glanced down at the head of the former autobot scout Bumblebee, witch Shockwave had dropped moments earlier. Megatron stared at his lifeless face, and remember all those eons ago, walking through the heart of Crystal city with Orion and Bee. The Decepticon leader vividly remembered smiling and waving at those who he passed on the metallic streets, and being in deep conversation with his once best friends, laughing and talking as they observed the beautiful city made possible by the combined effort of the constructicons. He remembered the once beautiful city, the very place he called home, had been destroyed by Megatron himself to create the building he sat in, Trypticon base. In that moment he realized that this war, that his, war had led to the destruction of his home, his planet, and now his once most trusted friends head lay right in in front of him, a look a terror and fear permanently engraved into his faceplate. Megatron turned his head away from the scout, not being able to bare looking at him any more, only to see another lifeless face, his own. He stared at the monitor beside his throne, and saw that his face, once shiny and polished, the face that had been smooth and would always where a look of joy, now was bleak and dull. The plates that wrapped around the side of his head were now a mountain range of dents and scars. The crest atop his head witch had once worn the Decepticon symbol proudly, was now flat against his head, and the insignia was scratched and faded, a bare reminder of what it meant to be Decepticon, before the war. He was suddenly filled with rage as he stared at his own face, realizing the monster that he had become. He violently ripped the monitor off the thin stand it sat on and crushed the small screen in his hands, and dropped the heap of broken glass and metal on the floor. He stared at the broken monitor in the floor, with wide eyes and snarling teeth.

Megatron was brought back to reality as Knockout rushed through the front doors to the throne room at full speed, a small tablet in hand, and a panicked look on his face. “Lord Megatron!” he shouted, obviously out of breath from sprinting down the hall. “The Autobots are launching the Ark in the sea of rust, NOW!” Megatron shot up out of his throne and rushed the main doors to his throne room, not even sparring Knockout a second glance as the small red Decepticon was violently thrown aside. Megatron was soon trailed by the seekers and there temporary leader Dreadwing, as they were waiting outside of the room standing guard, hearing everything. The group was sprinting full speed to the flight deck, Megatron spearheaded the charge. “Dreadwing!” Megatron shouted at the blue and yellow seeker as the group exited on to the flight deck. “Get your seekers to the sea of rust, NOW!! Give the Ark everything you have!!” Dreadwing simply nodded to his squadron as they transformed and flew straight for the south side of Cybertron. Megatron hopped on to a drop ship that had just recently landed, and violently grabbed the intercom from the control panel of the ship as the pilot began to fly off of the base, taking the wild look on the warlords face as the “if you stand up out of that chair i'll kill you where you stand” kinda look. Megatron clicked the button on the side of the small speaker and screamed into it, making the pilot jump ever so slightly. “All Decepticons!” Megatron spoke aggressively “Mobilize to the sea of rust, immediately, DO NOT LET THE AUTOBOTS LEAVE CYBERTRON!!” before he even had time to put the intercom bake in the control board, troops were running out of the base by the hundreds. This put a smile on Megatron's face as the Decepticons launched there entire army upon the Autobots
