The black sky was dotted with silver specks, and the moon wasn’t the only source of light. Red pointers flitted around the surroundings as armoured men wandered about. Victor led the way for the men. His suit and mask wasn’t for aesthetic purposes, they had functionality to them. His visor was able to see in infrared, night vision and UV light. With a simple press of a button, he switched his visor to night vision mode, and it allowed him to see where he was going through the darkness of the night. He wasn’t a high commander, but he did a pretty good job at leading his men stealthily.
Starscream stood on the flight deck of the ship, cleaning his fighter jet. He took great pride in his plane. He was the second in command of the Decepticons after all. Unlike the average trooper, who usually had a low quality purple colored fighter jet, Starscream had a very beautiful silver F-16 Fighting Falcon. It was custom painted with a Decepticon commander badge on the side, which shined in the light. Soon he had the jet sparkling clean. He gave his jet one last look over before going to see how Knockout was coming along with his car. The medic had a red Aston Martin DB9. That definitely wouldn’t have been Starscream’s first choice for a vehicle, but nevertheless, Knockout seemed very happy with it. And as long as the medic was happy, Starscream didn’t see any problem with it. Starscream made his way down to the lower docking bay, which was used for land based vehicles, such as cars or transport trucks. Once there, he walked out of the elevator and down the many rows of purple, black, and grey cars, until he finally spotted the medic’s red car. Amongst all the other cars and trucks, Knockout’s car stood out like a sore thumb. He approached the medic and smiled.
“Hi Knockout, how’s it going?” Starscream said.
“Hm? Oh! Hello Screamer, it’s going quite well.” Knockout replied. “I’m almost finished buffing out my car’s finish.”
Being alert of his surroundings, Victor looked up at the sky as well. A great shadow appeared to be blocking the moonlight. He was still young, and fairly new to the ranks of M.E.C.H. So he didn’t exactly know how to go about boarding the ship, or even taking it down. But, he at least had a few heavy projectile weapons. Even though he ordered the men to launch small rockets at the ship, he was strongly doubting the success of his decisions.
Knockout and Starscream continued chatting, when Megatron suddenly came on the loudspeaker.
“We have received alerts of intruders near the ship. If you are hearing this Starscream, please report to the control room to activate the ship’s force field! All others are to head to their corresponding vehicles in case we must send out fighters!” Megatron’s voice commanded over the speaker system.
Starscream headed up to the control room and upon Megatron’s command, activated the force field. It surrounded the ship, preventing anyone or thing from getting inside, and deflecting any sort of attack on the ship itself.
Meanwhile,
Knockout curled up behind his car, near the wall. He was trembling and in tears.
Upon seeing the ship’s defenses going up, Victor ordered his men to stop the open fire. He led the squad to a more hidden area, but kept the ship within his sights. Ground fire didn’t seem to do anything. So, Victor grabbed a long range communications transceiver and handed it over to one of the men in his squad. Of course, understanding the certain quirks Victor had, the man spoke into the transceiver on Victor’s behalf. The back up was laying low in waiting, and upon receiving the message, several aerial jets flew past and around the ship, firing more heavy artillery. Victor watched the jets from the ground.
