There was no mistaking the culprit behind approaching sounds of heavy foot falls to anyone residing within the bridge. Already the hellhound, Colonel Bonkers as he was so apptly named by Wildrider – was growing restless. Whimpering and trying to blend into the furthest corner away from the open blast doors of the bridge. Futile. The was no place to hide.
”Knock-Out.” Motormaster spoke as he entered the bridge. ”I am taking the mutt. And the other distractions,” he added, obviously referring to his Stunticons and the other Decepticons on board the sunken spaceship.
Having heard Motormaster speaking of him, Colonel Bonkers made his own conclusions and darted for the door in an attempt to slip past his tormentor by knocking him over. A futile effort. As the hellhound pounced at the large Stunticon, it found itself smashing into a proverbial walking wall that immediately wrapped its huge arms around the hellhound before tucking it firmly against his side with one arm. There was no escape. Defeated, the hellhound stopped struggling and hung its head down.
”You have your vehicons.” Motormaster rumbled, turning away from Knock-Out and starting his walk back to the air-lock. ”Make her fly again.”
Sometime later…
”Everyone’s here. Good.” Motormaster rumbled as he entered Astrotrain’s cargo hold and took a quick look across it. Tossing Colonel Bonkers at Drag Strip and Breakdown, Motormaster sat down on the bench row attached to Astrotrain’s hull. ”Give it some energon before it goes on rampage on that energon pile.”
”And Astrotrain.” The leader of this little operation addressed their transport, ”Get us back to Thanatos.”
