Kaon - The Decepticon Capital

[zaphead1]

~Kaon~
-Decepticon Recruitment-

The second Soundwave realized the rash actions that were unfolding before him, he immediately jumped for the exit. The explosions of the cluster rockets caught his side, blowing off a good chunk of his armor, as well as several of the support pillars. LaserBeak hopped off his perch and fired several laser blasts at the ceiling causing the entire building to begin collapsing in on itself.

[Laser]

"Hmm." Laser grumbled thoughtfully. "A sister? I see." He paused thoughtfully once again. "In need of protection...No doubt you are referring to me as being that protector...but you look more than capable of taking an important task such as that unto yourself. Then again, it is unwise of one to make assumptions based on visual collection." He blinked and studied her again, and asked kindly: "Why is it that you have come to me...one who is undecided on the war...one who you do not even know...one who you are ignorant of his trustworthiness...why have you come to bestow this task upon me? Surely, you must know something that I do not."

[Rexacon]

~Headquarters~

Rexacon received a transmission from Kol about some sort of disturbance in Iacon. Apparently he killed an enforcer and is asking for help. What perfect timing, now he would come to the decepticons with open arms. What an excellent little drone to make such a stupid mistake to get him to the decepticon armada. Maybe fate has drawn him to the decepticons in the beginning.

"Kol, hurry to my headquarters and don't make them catch you. They will search in Ironfall, make no contact and head to Kaon quickly."

Rexacon pressed a button to send a transmission to a fellow con.

"Get over to IronFall and make sure to protect the drone from any autobot enforcer."

"Understood."
The transmission ends.

[Laser]

Kol left immediately, blasted off towards Kaon. Rexacon was going to save him...but he knew what that meant. This meant that he was now a Decepticon. And not only was he a Decepticon, but an infamous murderer. Now he was going to make them look like a refuge for every savage, murderous fugitive that ever escaped the clutches of the law. He could only repay Rexacon by being the best he could ever be...and then he remembered Laser.

He hoped he'd made the right choice.

HEADQUARTERS

Kol blasted through the roof, landing on his feet in a balanced, crouched position. He stood and humbly walked towards Rexacon, bowing his head respectfully. "I suppose there is only one thing to say now..." He stood tall and bellowed out the words that would change his life forever.

"I, Kol, commit myself to the Decepticon cause. I will serve Megatron, and Megatron's followers, in order to create a better and certain future for our precious planet. Hail the Golden Age...Long live Megatron!!!"

[Rexacon]

~Headquarters~

"Good, that's the way I want to hear it. From now you are a decepticon Kol, you have seen the corruption that the autobots possess. Now you will receive your birthright."

With that said, one of Rexacon buster claws unattached itself as it began spinning at a fast pace. The drill goes over to Kol shoulders and began to mark the decepticon emblem onto him. After several astroseconds, Rexacon was done as Kol had officially became a decepticon.

~Outskirts of Kaon~

Autobot enforcers come up to Kaon in force as they march towards the decepticon city. However, one is blocking their path, Blackout.

"Hey you, get out of our way. Their a rouge drone in that city and we have to get him. I don't think you decepticon rebels want him anyway. So get out of our way."

Blackout stared at them as he took out his hammer.

"You are not wanted Autobot scum. You will be gone."

Blackout raised his hammer as they charge after him with their swords, but one quick slam sends a shockwave across the ground. The impact sends the enforcers flying across the ground. As Blackout continues hammering on the ground, the enforcers start to move back as more decepticons come to his aid. The enforcers retreat, but not before one giving him a warning.

"We'll be back decepticon scum."

Guardian Containment

Darkfire listened to the guardian's thoughts and questions, and thought about her reply. She looked the guardian in the optic once more and stood tall and proud.

"It's not that I am incapable of protecting my sister. It's...more complicated than that...She has joined...the Decepticon armada. She's been deceived by their words, framed in silver. I have seen many atrocities committed by the Decepticons. Some of which, I committed myself. My role...as her older sister...as her guardian...has hardened my spark. I feel no remorse for what I have done. I cannot. She's...not cold like me...she's so full of light and life and happiness...She isn't a Decepticon. Her current path will destroy her. I nearly lost her once...long ago. I swore that could never happen again, whatever the personal cost to myself."

And the personal cost had been high indeed. The assassin had to lock away her innate sense of right and wrong. She had been forced to accept that the only kind of justice was the kind that came as a knife in the dark. She had no friends or allies besides her sister. Only one person to talk to. If this plan worked...she would lose that as well. Despite the loss, Darkfire was more than willing to make any sacrifice so long as it would keep her sister safe. Every sacrifice.

"I have come to you, guardian, because there is no one else. Because you are the only one I can afford to trust. Because you are a guardian. Because...you...are my only hope. Please..." Darkfire said in a soft tone.

[Laser]

DECEPTICON HEADQUARTERS

Kol stared at the engraved insignia on his shoulder. He was a Decepticon now. Perhaps he could move up through the ranks. Perhaps he could be a hero. He felt that the future was bright. Nothing was better than achieving the respect he deserved, and helping establish the peace, while on the inevitable road to equality....

Guardian Containment

Laser observed the body language of his visitor. She was either sincerely caring of her sister, or a wonderful liar. However, not many would venture to the containment bringing nothing but lies. There was truth to her plea. She did have a sister. And she was valuable to her. If it was love, or simply personal gain, he could not tell, but something about her told him that her sister's safety was actually important to her.

She could be merely using him, taking advantage of his power, and distracting him from the upcoming events.

But on the other hand.

She could be speaking the truth. She could be torn by the turmoil and the state of the world, and desperate to find help. She had entered respectfully, and now asked for his help. She was wise, and knew what was best for her sister. Who was he to turn her down? Sometimes, one must take a gamble, for goodness sake.

"Trouble yourself no more, my sister. I will look after your sibling, and protect her from harm as long as she is within my reach. If she puts someone in harms way, I shall have to stop her, but I will not take her life...nor will I permit anyone to do so as long as she is under my wing. I swear it."

Laser's eye darkened to a Blackish gray, staring straight through his visitor's eyes, and into her spark. "However, if I find that you have falsified your motives, and your purposes for visiting here today, I will hunt you down, no matter how long it takes, and I will destroy you where you stand. This is no threat. This is a promise, and I'm sure you can understand."

His eye lit back up to it's normal, deep, rich blue. "This is my proposition, my dear sister. I swear to protect your sister with my life, and if you require anymore assistance, please, do not hesitate to contact me...provided they do not conflict with whatever side I choose in the war. My name is Laser. I pray that I am successful in protecting what is near and dear to you."

[Rexacon]

~Headquarters~

Rexacon had finished imprinting the decepticon emblem onto him as his buster claw retracted back into place. He sat down in place and leaned forward toward KoL.

"Kol, as your first mission. Why don't you convince the guardians in joining us?"

[Foxfire]

Guardian Containment

For the first time in countless vorns, Darkfire's spark felt light again for just a moment. Her violet optics gleamed that much brighter for just an astrosecond, until they faded back to their normal hue. The guardian had fulfilled her hopes. It was the most she could have hoped for. The assassin watched as the guardian's optic blackened. She heard the threat, but was not intimidated. There was no cause to be. Her motives had been purely what she had told the guardian.

Darkfire nodded to the guardian. "Very well, Laser. Thank you. Perhaps our paths will cross again, one day. Farewell." Darkfire extended her claws and soared up into the ventilation shaft from which she had entered. Cloaking as she back tracked, the assassin soon found herself on the outside once again. All that was left to do was wait until the moment came when she would have to say farewell to her dear sister for all time. Darkfire steeled her spark to weather the coming hardship.

Any sacrifice. Every sacrifice.

~Kaon, Decepticon Recruitment~

The use of her Orbital Bombardment Platform required finesse, though that didn't stop her from thinking about it as she flicks her fail fins straight verticle and rockets out through the roof, she catches a lot of debris as the building collapses, but it's a lot better than being a sitting duck. Her shoulder and wing still ache from the laser blast sound wave got in on her, she can't take to many more of those.

Even before she clears the billowing plume of smoke and dust caused by her glorious exit of the building as it collapses behind her, she's scanning the horizon and ground with all her optic capacity to find Soundwave and his little pet cons to hopefuly utilize some tactical air strike capacity on him. Still, didn't look like he'd be too good in the air vs a seeker bot, he'd be a fool to come after her up here.

So she'll probably have to go back down and find him. Something that didn't bother her one bit.

"Is that the best you can do?"

She shouted over an open, but very short range frequency. She's banged up though, so it isn't like he hasn't gotten her good but her spirit is already fully invested in this fight. She wants to keep going till one of them can't stand any more, which is really unfortunate, because she doesn't really have money for repairs and it's most likely gonna be her that winds up losing.

That doesn't stop her though, she's fearless and aggressive.
