The really
really long awaited chapter 5!
Chapter V
Tombtreader looked at the now shattered butt of his rifle disappointed, he simply tossed the rifle aside as he looked down at the crumpled form of an Autobot Femme.
"So fragile..." He said with a soft voice as he bent down and lifted her head to check her condition, "Take her to interrogation!"
Several seconds passed as he stood up from his crouched position to glare at his soldiers.
"Problem?" Tombtreader sneered.
"Uh," One large mech, who was the interrogator said, "Um, where... Might... That... Be?"
"You know, there is this
fantastic new pastime," Tombtreader said sarcastically, "Its called
thinking. Use your imagination."
And with that he turned to two other large Mechs and said, "Come. We have work to do."
He led them down the hall as he made his way through the residential area, the two thug-like Mechs behind him sparing several seconds to kill any lingering Autobot who come out of their quarters.
They made their way to an elevator doorway, and Tombtreader pressed the button to send for the Elevator, but none came.
Tombtreader shot the two following Mechs a look they both understood, and they walked around Tombtreader and began to pry the door open with all of their strength. The steel bent and strained as the Mechs tore open the door, revealing a dark Elevator Shaft leading to a destroyed Elevator at the base of it.
"Wow," One of them said, "That's, pretty deep..."
He walked silently to the back of them and said, "Down you go."
And with that he pushed them both off the edge of the Elevator shaft and, screaming, to the bottom. He heard silence, but then a voice said, "Oh man... Uh, we're okay, just send a rope or something."
"Light a flare, and I'll come down." Tombtreader said down to them.
And soon afterward an orange light revealed the two mechs in relatively good shape on the roof of the Elevator. Tombtreader jumped down into the darkness and into the top part of the elevator with a loud thud. His legs bracing the impact perfectly. He then glared at the two soldiers who stood there, dumbfounded by Tombtreader simply jumping down.
"Well boys, we have work to do." Tombtreader said as he began to tap the roof the elevator for a weak point.
Suddenly a creaking elongated pop came from the wall and they all turned to face the source. It was a large, unusual bulge in the gray steel shaft.
"Huh!" The lesser of the two Mechs said, and walked over to the bulge and placed a hand on it.
Suddenly a glowing purple spike shot from the wall stabbed the Mech and lifted him off his feet and pinned him against the wall behind Tombtreader. The Mech screamed and hollered in agony as he struggled to release the giant purple spear.
"Primus! Help me!!" The smaller Mech cried out as the other stared in fright, Tombtreader however was intrigued by this sudden spire.
Suddenly, the screaming began to get watery and gurgling noises began to produce instead of screams, and the purple of the spire began to spread to the Mech.
Tombtreader decided it was time to end the racket and just kill him, so he pointed his pistol at the Mech and fired. It was spot on, it pierced the cranial unit of the Nameless Mech, killing him. The body fell limp to the spire it was being impaled with, dead.
"You
murdered him!!" The large and burly Mech shouted.
"Watch." Tombtreader said with admiration as the glow began to spread like veins to the smaller Mech's cranial unit, covering the mech in a glowing purple light.
A groan expelled from the "Corpse", and the limbs that used to lay limp, now began to spring to life. He raised his arm and smashed the spire in one smash, releasing him from being pinned to the wall, and to the floor, where he began to leak Energon. Except the Energon was
Purple.
"By Primus! Stugnik," The other Mech walked over to the apparent Stugnik and knelt down, "You okay man?"
Tombtreader watched as the Mech grabbed the shoulder of the previously dead Stugnik, but suddenly Stugnik flung an arm that slammed into the head of the Mech, causing the Mech to stumble backwards.
Such power
! Tombtreader thought with a smile as he watched the risen form of Stugnik get up from the ground and make his way to the nameless Mech.
"P-P-Please!! We were
friends!" He pleaded as "Stugnik" made his way to him.
"Just
shoot him you
idiot!" Tombtreader ordered, but was still intrigued by what this "Stugnik" was doing.
The Mech fumbled with his shotgun, dropping it on the ground, but it was too late, the new form of "Stugnik" made its way to the still nameless Mech and began to throttle and attack him.
Tombtreader was curious what was happening to this Mech, but was answered when "Stugnik" bit into him spewing Energon out of a ruptured fuel line in the cranial unit. Screaming, the Mech flailed about helplessly as he was mutilated on the spot. The screaming stopped shortly afterwards when he stopped flailing, but he did not fall. He was glowing, not as bright as "Stugnik", but glowing nevertheless. They both made their approach on Tombtreader while they emitted a low groaning noise.
Odd. It almost sounds like... Tombtreader cut himself off,
Impossible. But this is amazing
! It can re-ignite the Spark!!Tombtreader stopped thinking about that, he held his pistol up and emptied the clip on them both. Completely eviscerating their armor, but they approached still. Tombtreader quickly swapped out clips, and fired some more, but still no effect whatsoever. It seemed that nearly nothing could stop them from their ultimate goal. The goal of all un-dead. To kill, to kill as many as they can until there is nothing to kill at all.
The goal of: The Reanimated.
