The Energon Pub

In the deep nothingness of space, Inferno floated helplessly. His jet-pack had long ago run out of fuel, and he imagined he was pretty close himself. The Darksyde's destruction had forced the entire crew to jettison, and since there were more crew than there were escape pods, Inferno could only hope he would survive...

just like Inferno, Arctus too floated helplessly through space. He knew the only thing he could do was enable his distress beacon, and so he did that. Now, He waited.

Onslaught sat in his escape pod, energon from the bot he had to kill to get it remained on his hands. Onslaught had been a prisoner on the ship, being brought to Kaon Prison. Fortunatly for him, The Darksyde and it's crew-members were all destroyed. He felt his pod begin to slow. He walked up to the hatch and pushed a button, and the hatch opened. He was inside a ship, where there were three crew-members and another Prisoner of the Darksyde.

Cyrotek watched another survivor of the Darksyde enter. His Second in command Megatron had done an excellent job, and now there would be plenty of new recruits. He walked and stood in front of the survivors. "You will each be given a choice" he said as a sixth one showed up. "You may join me, or you will be thrown back in to space to die slowly. Step forward if you choose to join."

Five bots stepped forward. the newest one stayed back. Cyrotek walked up to him. "Who are you, and why will you not join me?"

"I am Tow-Line" The 6th bot said. "Captain of the Darksyde. I've heard of you Decepticons, and I'll never join you."

"So be it." Cyrotek replied "As a test of you're loyalty, You five must kill him. If you refuse, you will be killed along with him" He said and walked away as the survivors tore their former captain to pieces.

Chapter 2 - Recruits

Warpath stood waiting. a former soldier from the Darksyde, it was nice to see some conbat for once, even if it was against his former captain. Cyrotek, their apparent host approached the first bot, the one next to Warpath. "What is you're name and position aboard the ship?"

He was a grey bot with one arm and a missing optic. "I am Arctus, second in command of the Darksyde."

Cyrotek turned to his guards. "You will now be known as Shockwave. Take him to the reformatting chamber!"

Cyrotek moved down to another bot, one of the prisoners. "I am Onslaught, prisoner of the Darksyde."

"Then you'll fit in just fine around here. No reformatting required! Welcome to the Decepticons!" He moved to another

"I am Storm Jet" said a red arielbot "Darksyde Air Commander"

"You will now be known as Starscream. Take him to the reformatting chamber!"

Cyrotek moved to the another one, this one a triple changer. "I am Astrotrain, Prisoner of the Darksyde"

"Welcome to the Decepticons!" Cyrotek said and finally came to Warpath.

Without hesitation, Warpath said "I am Warpath! Soldier of the Darksyde!"

Cyrotek looked at him. "You will now be known as Tankor. Take him to the reformatting chamber!" And with that, there were none.
