1 The New Predacon.

(The abandoned mine)

Two jets land and transform at the entrance to an abandoned mine "Ah, another abandoned mine" Megaton ignores him "Come Starscream" he walks into the mine followed by Starscream who begs him to reconsider his termination but soon realises what he meant "Oh, Shockwaves off site laboratory... most impressive" they both walk towards Shockwave with interest "The predacon clones have almost fully evolved and will be combat ready within three solar cycles" Megatron smiles "Well done, Shockwave, My trust of you and your assistant has been well placed... (his assistant is my OC a decepticon called Soul) Knockout, I'm waiting" Knockout starts bringing down the synthetic energon "On my way lord Megatron" he heads down the lift and arrives with cubes full of it but doesn't realise he's being watched by a certain female Predacon (Predaking is female in this) "where is that fool heading, perhaps to where this rumor began", she flys down to the mine. Knockout steps out of the lift at the entrance to the cloning facility "Synthetic Energon, troops will be delivering my remaining supply too you" Shockwave nods "I will determine its value after Lord Megatron's Predacon army is ready for deployment" a loud roar is heard and predaqueen appears and steps forward into the lab, Starscream immediately harasses her with a metal rod "Unruly beast, you dare roam freely without permission" she roars at him and he falls back and cowers in fear, then she transforms (she looks just like normal only with a female body) they look at her in shock "Strike me again and I will stick that rod up your aft" Starscream looks even more afraid "I didn't realise that the beast was capable of transformation" Megaton looks at Shockwave "Neither did I" Soul jumps up "There was no biological evidence that they ever reached that stage, so it's was considered highly illogical to assume they could... until now" Soul goes back to the tank in the middle of the lab" Predaqueen looks at the tanks "So the rumours are true, I will no longer be alone" Megatron walks to her "and I see you've been keeping secrets" Predaqueen frowns "It was not my intention to deceive you lord Megatron, I only recently became aware of my abilities, all I remember of my beginning is hunting" she has a flashback of fighting the autobots "and the wounding of my pride, thus I began to burn with questions, who am I, where did I come from, the warships data banks provided historical fact but still I possessed no memory of my own past, so I began to reconsider my place in the present, and wondered could I be like the others...and now I know" Megatron speaks "Yet you are unique, miracle science, cloned by Shockwave in nulcic acid, recovered from the remains of your mighty ancestors" a low roar is heard and everyone turns to the source the middle nuclic acid tank which houses a red, white and black Predacon almost similar to Predaqueen, Soul starts talking to himself "Woah, this far beyond any of my calculations, could he be ready so quickly" Shockwave asks Soul for a status on the Predacon "He's exhibiting life signs, according to this data, he should be ready for release within 1 Solar Cycle" Megatron smiles "Isn't that a good thing" Soul nods "Yes, but unusual as the other clones are not nearly ready for release yet this one... it is very odd" Starscream laughs "Well, he might be weaker than the others, so it doesn't take as long" Soul cackles "I don't know about that... he's about 30 feet tall at the moment, he shares the same Predacon form as Predaqueen and his scales are twice as dense as normal, making him more resistant to explosives and blaster fire" Megatron smiles "Good... Soul, keep a close eye on him, I want to be notified immediately when he is ready for release" Soul nods "Of course Lord Megatron" Predaqueen walks up to the tank and places a hand on it to which the Predacon lets out a low but noticeable roar before going silent again, she looks at him with a smile "You might be the best out of all of them" she leaves the facility along with Megatron and Starscream, Shockwave and Soul finish up their work before heading back to the nemesis.

(A day later Nemesis)

Predaqueen and Megatron are walking through the halls of the nemesis when Starscream stops them "Project Predacon has fallen into autobot hands" Predaqueen grows furious "How, is this possible" Megatron speaks up "Starscream, gather your seeker armada" Starscream nods "At once my liege" he runs off but is stopped Predaqueen "No, if my kin are threatened then I will confront the enemy" she rushes off to stop the autobots.

(The cloning facility)

Wheel jack looks at the Synthetic Energon pile before looking at the tanks and Ultra Magnus as the tanks begin draining "Permisson to impoly a grenade in a closed environment sir" Magnus nods "If you and I are all that stands between these monsters and the inhabitants of this planet then by all means blow these beasts back to the rust age" Wheeljack smiles and throws the grenade at the Energon pile and they both run away but they don't see the middle tank open and the Lone Predacon sees the grenade but doesn't move... the grenade goes off causing a massive explosion.

(The caves)

Before the two fully escape a ground bridge opens in front of them, out of it steps Predaqueen with a angry look, Wheeljack looks at her "Whose this girl" Predaking responds "The very same who previously allowed you to live but not today" Magnus spots the Predacon Insgina "She's the Predacon" the two stand there shocked before the blast covers them in smoke. Predaqueen stands there in shock "What have you done to my brethren, what have you done, Aghh" she rushes the two and begins fighting them after a long a hard battle which ends with the injury of Magnus and the two being saved by Optimus, Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave and Soul appears at the now destroyed entrance to the facility, Soul stares at the wall while the others leave back to the nemesis, then he hears it a loud charging sound before the rocks in front of him are completely obliterated by a stream of blue flames, then from the rubble steps out the Predacon his white, black and red scales and his dragon form available for all to see, but Soul quickly notices that he's very tired and walks up to him "Easy, Clawbolt you've not got much Energon in your system... come on let's go get you home and give you some " he roars in approval before asking for a ground bridge, one opens

behind him and he beckons Claw to follow, which he does.

(Nemesis)

Starscream is trying to reason with Predaqueen "You really are stubborn aren't you" he says after trying to get her into the makeshift pen they have for her when he sees the ground bridge appear and Soul steps out "What took you so long Soul" Soul laughs "I was scavenging what I could from the facility and managed to recover something quite valuable" Shockwave and Megatron appear while Predaqueen looks at Soul with confusion "I hope that whatever you scavenged was useful" Soul nods "Oh, I think it was Shockwave" Soul looks back at the portal as does everyone else as the portal starts emanating loud foot steps and out steps Claw, Predaqueen stands there in amazement "He survived... I'm not surprised" Megatron walks up to him "Claw, I'm Lord Megatron your master-" he is cut off by Claw transforming and grabbing his leg before he smashes him into the ground of the Nemesis several times before throwing him into Starscream, knocking them both out "You will earn, your right to command me, I will not just give you that right on a platter" he turns to Soul "So, you are the one who gave me a name and yet you have not demanded anything of me, why" Soul laughs "I have no need to bother you, besides you have better things to do than just help me all the time" Claw nods "True, enough" he turns to Predaqueen "The Autobots will pay for that dearly, I assure you of that" Predaqueen nods "Indeed, they will" the two turn to look at Shockwave before transforming and heading into the makeshift pen they have on the nemesis.

(in this story, most male predacons are respectful to females as they often chose mates based on respect and honesty, also in this story female predacons dot on their mates by staying close to them, and making their feelings well known and will often chase their chosen mates for days until they are accepted by the male).
