And so it Begins

*Chaotic Watcher, Year 2007*

*Deck 5, Freetime Deck*

Tryveranus is currently standing in an arena, facing him is Claptrap who is in a boxing stance ready to move at a moment's notice with both not being in striking distance of the other

First to move is Claptrap, charging with his boosters at his adversary and going in for a right hook, Tryveranus evades the hook by leaning back and going into a spin for a tail slap

The tail slap hits the helm, leaving the Yellow Mech disoriented and open, not one to waste an opportunity, Tryveranus capitalizes immediately by kicking the digitigrade legs out from underneath Claptrap

Then grabs the left arm of the Mech and goes into a spinning throw with enough force to catapult Claptrap out of the arena, winning the match via ring-out

"Damn it, I forgot to watch out for the tail again" lamented the Weapons Officer as he set up and rubbed at his helm

"And this is our ninth match Clappy, I would have thought you learned to look out for my tail, seems I was wrong on that" was the humor-laced comment from the Captain to his Weapons Officer and Friend

The Mech got up and dusted off "Ha ha ha Tryveranus, very upbuilding comment almost as upbuilding as the many times you accidentally activated your battle mask and weapons in the first days in that body" shot Claptrap back with mirth

"Oh, Betrayed by one of my Officer's and Friends, how will I ever recover from this-"

":Captain to the Command Center, I repeat,

Captain to the Command Center:" Was the announcement that Interrupted the banter

Claptrap tilted his helm to the right and looked at Trypticon "Should you hurry or make your way there leisurely?" Was the Question to his Friend that he had spared with

"I believe going faster than walking speed is appropriate for this my Strong Friend" was the reply as Tryveranus turned to walk in the direction of the Sparing Hall exit "Don't forget to log out of the arena" was his last comment to Claptrap as he exited the Hall

"Stupid rule" muttered the Mech as he went to work on the console to log out

*Deck 1, Command Center*

The Command Center was busy with activity as Consensia went over Reports from Operations to Inventory of the Supply Hold as Tryveranus arrived, he went to the main table where their Communications Officer Glint waved him over after looking away from the Hologram over the table

Valor was there as well with his Steel Crusher-type Consensia body looking over a projection of Blackout attacking the SOCCENT Forward Operation Base in Qatar, analyzing the scant footage of the Decepticon and all the Data that could be gleaned from it

"Well well well, Looks like it is finally time to do something, Tell an Infiltration team to watch over Air Force One and the Hoover Dam team to ready for the All Spark switch with the dummy one, and reinforce Mission City in case we can't change the final battlefield" ordered Tryveranus as he goes for a game plan and takes precautions

"Lastly, bring up some desert-able Alt Modes and locate Colonel Lennox's current location in the Qatar desert, I will be going on a Scorponok hunt" he was eager to get his first kill and trophy, was it a lot like Lockdown's behavior, yes it was but how else would he get proper battle experience and remember his kills by

*Qatar, the Middle East*

If you asked the team of eight to describe the last 24 hours, then they would say it was crazy, hectic, and unbelievableble to say the least

Not only did they witness the destruction of the base of their deployment, but a walking weapons platform that was unheard of to their knowledge, attacking and destroying everything around it

They were close to Mahfouz (a boy who often visited the base) village to use the Phone line there in the hopes of contacting and informing the Pentagon

Which has gotten quite a lot harder thanks to the metal scorpion the size of a car, that had ambushed them and almost killed First Sergeant Donnelly were it not for a few unknown shots that forced it below ground

They were currently in defensive positions around the village as Colonel Lennox was trying to reach the Pentagon over a mobile phone, which was complicated by a call center that demanded a credit card for some reason

With the metal scorpion constantly firing from its drill-like three-point pincers and using a car wreck as occasional cover

Until a modified Grey-Purple colored reptile motive Otokar Cobra with an HMG-mounted turret drove into the village from the right side of the scorpion and started to give suppressing fire while driving around which distracted the metal animal and allowing a grande shot to severe the stinger from its tail

During all this Colonel Lennox managed to get through to the Pentagon thanks to Technical Sergeant Epps having his Credit card with himself, which led to the Pentagon employing a Predator drone that was in the area to gain visual

Lennox gave Epps the phone for coordinating an Air Strike on the metal monster with the Pentagon that deployed a pair of A-10 Thunderbolt IIs via the target being marked as 'Killbox One-Alpha' with orange flares and laser designators

As the A-10 arrived Epps gave the clearance via the words "Bring it!" with the Air Strike in effect, the scorpion got a load of bullets and a small missile barrage, a dust cloud covering the result and state of the metal scorpion

As the dust cloud dispersed in the wind, the scorpion was revealed, on its back struggling to get back on its legs, "No frickin way that thing is still not Dead" was Lennox's disbelieving words as he looked at the struggling metal beast

Just as Epps wanted to call in heavier air support, a car horn sounded as the Otokar Cobra went for a crash course with the downed scorpion, and ten meters away from it, it Transformed which revealed it to be Tryveranus as he jumped and dropped onto Scorponok, pedes first

"Not so tough once you face something ya own size, huh?" Taunted the Captain of the Freewing, the chosen name for their modified Mercenary Insignia and Faction, as he dug his right Pede into the underside of Scorponok

Scorponok screeched and struggled but could not dislodge the, to him, unknown Mech nor could his pincers reach his new foe, he had lost his stinger as well making him defenseless

Tryveranus pulled his Ionic Pressing knife from the inner side of his left Gantlet to sever Scorponok's Back Strut(Spine) connection in the neck giving a slow and insidious death

He activated the knife in his right Servo and aimed for an opening in the Neck Guard "You will have a slow Death as is befitting of a Decepticon like you, You started the War that bleed Cybertron dry and I will relish in your death throws" was the monologue to the still struggling Scorponok

Tryveranus took Hold of Scorponok's Helm and thrust his knife in, struggling ceased as the Back Strut connection was cut but the noise or optic movement did not for quite a bit

"Have fun knowing you Died for a Cause that has lost its meaning too Tyrany" were the last words that the offlining Scorponok ever heard as its optics lost their light and its voice box gave its last sounds

The silence that followed was deafening until an A-10 Thunderbolt II came around again, Tryveranus looked at it, and a smile formed on his Faceplate "Perfect" and scanned it as his second alt mode

With his second alt mode secured, Tryveranus turns his attention towards Lennox and his seven fellow soldiers "What, No thank you for supporting you?" one could have heard a Cricket zipping with how silent it was

"What are you, what was that metal scorpion and what the hell was that thing that destroyed our base!?!?" The one who asked was Epps, who had ended the call after Tryveranus killed the Scorponok

Everyone else seems to agree with Epps's question to the metal giant be it with words or simple nodding "Now those are the good questions that you asked there" began Tryveranus

"I am Tryveranus a technological lifeform that originates from the planet Cybertron making me a Cybertronian" was the first answer and introduction

"As for what we have fought, that is Scorponok a beastly Decepticon and partner to Blackout, he attacked and let Scorponok lose to hunt for survivors" was the explanation given to the eight humans

The humans pondered over the answers they received, Lennox was the first to point something out "You said that both are Decepticons, does that mean there are other factions?" The rest seemed to realize it as well

A smile spread on Tryveranus's faceplate "Indeed there are many but most are sub-factions, there are three main factions, the Decepticons who use deception and brutal tyranny to get what they want"

"The second are the Autobots who are the opposite of the Decepticons, advocating truth and equality for all" explained the triple changer to the humans

"There are also the Mercenaries, Mechs, and Fems that are only after gaining things by offering their services to the ones that can pay them, I am the Captain of the Freewing, a sub-faction that my crew and I have founded to offer our service to those that can't afford normal ones"

The humans who heard Tryveranus's explanation wondered why(what amounted to a Pirate Captain) helped them out "If you are wondering why I helped you, I simply felt like hunting a Con and adding its stinger to my trophy collection"

Ping!

Tryveranus activated his Comms to answer ":Yes... Yes, the hunt was successful... I did manage to kill Scorponok... his remains are here ready for pick up... the only damage there is would be the severed Back Strut right at the start of the neck and blasted off stinger:"

"Who are-" started one of the soldiers "Shush I am talking with my crew here" said Tryveranus to the soldier ":No just someone being rude... yes Claptrap will have fun looking over Scorponok and its weapons... I will stay here on Earth for a while and have fun... Yes, I will be careful, till later:"

Tryveranus transformed into his Otokar Cobra mode and opened the doors for the soldiers "How about I drive you to the nearest air base and on the way ther we can keep talking with each other" the eight soldiers looked at each other, after a bit of thinking decided it was the best course of action

"And what will we be talking about, the weather?" asked Epps as got on one of the front seats "Only if you want to" was the answer he received from the mischievous Cybertronian, getting a good laugh from the other humans

*Air Force One*

It was relatively normal aboard the Plane of the US President nothing seemed to be wrong, the Flight Attendants were giving out food and drink, Government personnel were relaxing and reading newspapers

That was till a silver and black CD Player below one of the seats transformed and revealed itself as Frenzy, a Minicon of the Decepticons with the mission of stealing Data from the US President Network Access

Which should have been relatively easy, but he would find out quite quickly that ther is a mean surprise waiting in the Network of the US Government for him

The first step for Frenzy was getting into an elevator that would let him get into the Storage that also had an Access Point into the US Network, which did go moderately as planned with the addition of a Flight attendant carrying him in his Alt Mode and standing still

Once the attendant was gone, He made his way to the Access Point and started his hacking, In Canon it would be noticed in the Pentagon and lead to him only finding the Person that found the main focus of Project:Ice Man

This Time however, Frenzy was intercepted by the Consensia and hacked himself, which he tryed to fight off but was losing quickly since he never needed to Deal with something as insidious as Consensia hacking right into his Brain Module

With Frenzy under controle and already all the Files needed present in the Consensia Code infiltrators, It was only a matter of Time till all the Decepticons had a Backdoor for easy acces
