[glow=blue,2,000]Just what I was looking for....[/glow] "I shall be in the training room..." he left. [glow=blue,2,000]Yup. You already left, you didn't hear a thing. I've already told you to start paying attention to other ppl's posts, might want to start paying attention to your own. And further OOC discussion to be done in the OOC thread..[/glow]

Bludgeon sat with legs crossed and hands on his knees in meditation. In his lap lay a small datapad. 'Warfare, politics, ethics and the wielding of power: Way of Metalikato' it was a work he had found in the archives. It's author: Knightmare... last great Strategist of the Decepticons. 255th Master of Metalikato and... his master... . He sighed... he knew the book by heart. He understood the tactics, the strategies, the schemes, the stances. He had had to memorise it... all did that. And more works... but to him this one meant most. This was the work of Knightmare. The other datapads on which he had uploaded data meant nothing. Not even his work. When he had ruled Warworld he had written his own final work: Tactics, techniques, honour and the path to supremacy: the essence and core of all views on Metalikato. His work... and every master had one. He had written a work combining all others and bringing it back to essences. The lore's most important knowledge. But he had never had taken a successor. And he was still looking. Baal might be able to do so. But Metalikato took decades to master. And to surpa$$ like Bludgeon or Knightmare had done it took even more dedication. He was not sure if she would be able to do that... . But most off all... he wasn't sure she was the one to do it. She had not the honour it seemed and somehow his warrior instincts told him to distrust her. Than again they almost always told him not to trust someone. He sighed. Closing his eyes... he remembered.
The Dark Knight Pretender... blazing red eyes. Reformatted out of Darkonn. They crossed blades. But he as a young warrior was no match for the experienced and powerful Lord of Conquest. He was punched back. Knightmare had been the supreme Strategist... . He had been... a good leader. Knightmare had been the greatest swordwielder... He was still second best... Knightmare had uncanny tactical insight... Bludgeon was only ONE of the best tacticians not THE best... Knightmare's body had been supremely powerfull... He... he had been destroyed by Tank Megatron so easily. He was not weak far from but... he needed to grow stronger.
He opened his eyes behind the Pretendershell. But Knightmare had lived even longer than he. One day he would be that strong until than he would train, think and grow. Every day he got better... . It was a question of time and determination. But... Something held him back... his progress could be faster if only he could remove those doubts, those incertainties and that tired feeling. Death's aftermath or more? He was a DECEPTICON... but he was stuck in a world where those concepts had dissipated and where... in the end one man no longer seemed to make a difference. He had once made a difference... faced the great Prime and survived... reforged the defeated Decepticons anew yet... now... he served a madman... The only other leader worth following was a genocidal maniac. The Autobots were dispicable foes... . And the Destructicons... well... he was not sure what to think of them... they were too chaotic. He sighed again and stood off. His internal repairs advanced rapidly. A Pretender had the advantage of those remarkable shells to protect them. He could rerout energy to his body... his real body than again in truth THIS was his body. He looked in the mirror. A warrior... an Earth Samurai but more ruthless... more destructive... . A primal warrior of honour. And he let his fingers stroke the skull. This was his real face. The last thing thousands of Autobots and Transformers had been seen.
His memory brought him the words of Octopunch "The Autobot truly saw the face of death... in that one instant between life and destruction...". Octopunch... he had forgotten his old comrade. He looked around. Warworld had been loyal to him. Soundwave... too. And Megatron had beaten him fair and square. Bludgeon had been foolish. But on the other hand... Megatron had not been a good leader. It should've been Soundwave or Shockwave. Intelligence over brawn. A way the Imperials had forgotten again. Bludgeon made a fist. "In the end... all die. But how we lived is what is important..." And one thing Bludgeon knew he had lived gloriously living for his ideals. His sword unsheated in a nanosecond he performed the Bato attack as he rushed forward and with great speed cut through the target. Black smoke spreaded out of his shell as his helmet charged up and destroyed a target with an electroprojectile. Still... for all his skill and wisdom... the Master of Metalikato felt doubt... The doubt... remained. The bitterness... of being the last of a kind... Unless... he wasn't. Once again he wondered perhaps... perhaps Baal could be the one... if she wasn't than he would find another succesor... . It was the way of things... The way of Metalikato.

As Ba~al was finishing up, she heard someone enter the ship. Apon investigation she would see it was Dragonflame. She had no where to hide if he had heard what she said.

[glow=orange,left,300]Ba~al hits the send button as an unexpected noise is heard on DH's ship. She turns to see if anyone is behind her and there is no one... yet.
Adjusting the coms panel so it looks like nothing has been sent, Ba~al fidgets momentarily with other panels to make things look like she is doing some research of her own on the whereabouts of Rainstorms ship the Nemisis... She has a few sector location maps on screen and a data pad that she can put her own notes on said whereabouts into.
Continuing on as if the noise had not taken her by surprise at all she calls out,
Who has entered my ship? Bludgen if that is you, that means you are not in the sick bay as Armada had ordered... if it is you, however... since you are obstenant at not obeying Armada's orders... come and give me a hand with these location maps... you claim to be the tactition and have a good sence of direction, let's see if you can redeem yourself in his eyes by way of locating his possession! It would be nice to take Dragonflame some of our own ideas on the whereabout of the Nemisis, especially if I've already found...
Ba~al gets up from her seat to go and check on the noise with her data pad in hand still talking as if she were talking to Bludgen, when she walks right into Dragonflame himself.
... it!
Dragonflame! I thought you were Bludgen. What are you doing here? Do you need something specific? I will be back inside presently... If you will leave me to my business....[/glow]

Dragonflamed fixed Ba~al a strong look. He stood over her an easy few feet, he could crush her easily. However....[glow=maroon,2,000]"You are an interesting creature.... dispite your show of disrespect towards my master, he show you mercy. Something I never expected from him. Perhaps he is taking a deeper interest in you? If so I can not stand in his way. But be warned, strike my master in anyway and betray him, and it shall be me dening you any mercy! Now, what have we gotten in the way of information? The Nemesis should not have moved form its location as of yet unless these rogue destructicons have moved quicker then we antisapated?"[/glow]

Meanwhile....
Armada sat in his throne. He could feel the strange sensation of power and pain within. He knew he had taken too much power and was unbalenced, unstabled.
What no knew was that he was a ticking time bomb, ready to explosde and waiting for the right thing to set him off.
He needed the other Matrix....
He stood up and walked about his chamber, involved in a silent conversation with himself.
[shadow=red,left,300]"Yes.... its all so clear. But of course it would be, I a, not blind like Maximus... I saw the true power of he Matrix.... yes the one matrix.... the two halves together as it should be....
"I need it back... its calls us.... its wants us as I need it..... I have but one more servant..."[/shadow]
Armada then point to a spot on the wall where it looked twist and rusted. With a wave of his hand the spot opened up to reveal a dark, almost portal looking hole. [shadow=red,left,300]"Speak to me my servant.... tell me you are still loyal...."[/shadow]
"Yes Lord Armada; I am still here. What is your biding ...my master?"

[glow=orange,left,300]Ba~al just looks at Dragonflame.
However interesting I may be to you, keep it to yourself. I could care less about how I may or may not interest you, nor do I care about you granting or denying me any mercy. I have no use for it. If you don't like what you see, then that is too bad for you. Don't get in my way of my duty though, for you will be the one denied any mercy.
Ba~al pauses to look back to her data pad and then speaks again,
From my calculations, they are where I last knew of them to be. I wasn't aware how much you personally knew about the whole situation and thought it best to inform you personally, even though Armada has said that I am to follow you... I think you will be following me instead![/glow]

Dragonflame crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.[glow=maroon,2,000]"Your actually useful, excellent. However, I only follow my Lord Armada. Now, let us find your egotistical friend. Come along."[/glow] Dragonflame leaves the ship.

Bludgeon sat still in meditation. The trainingroom was mostly empty. 3 beaten up guards remained present tending to their wounds. Bludgeon merely stared at the datapad in front of him. His thoughts wandered out to the future.

[glow=orange,left,300] Ba~al watched Dragonflame leave and decided now would be the best time to find Bludgeon and convine him to join her and her plans.
"That arrogant mech had best listen to me now...... or he's on his own!"[/glow]

Bludgeon stood up sheathed his sword and placed the datapad in a hidden compartment in his body. He than turned and walked away. 'I wonder if Baal is okay. You never know with Armada or Dragonflame' he thought to himself.

Dragonflame then went to get his ship ready. It would have a cloaking device and photon torpedos to attack the Nemesis if they could sneak on.

"Yes Lord Armada; I am still here. What is your biding ...my master?" [shadow=red,left,000]"Very good... now, you are one of the few that have seen the Matrix and how it works... then it shall come as no surprize that I am in need of it.... but before you bring me what is so rightfully mine.. first, releash its power...." [/shadow] "Surely you know not anyone can just open the matrix at will. I may have been an autobot once but.."[shadow=red,left,000]"Be silent... the Matrix can work on its own. You are to leave a distraction for both the autobots and the renegades, the matrix works independently on its own... when life needs to be preserved or brought back to the realm of the living. In Iacon and the renegade base... the matrix can be used.... on the dead! Like the city of Kalis......"[/shadow] "I understand. I will not fail you my master."[shadow=red,left,000]"Excellent.. see that you don't!"[/shadow] The conversation finished, the transmission ended, Armada retreats to his throne. [shadow=red,left,000]"They shall come.... .... I shall be waiting...."[/shadow]

[glow=orange,left,300]Ba~al soon found Bludgeon.
"There you are! Now, we must get going, Dragonflame is waiting for us but now I must tell you something... I am defecting to the other destructicons. Armada is a fool and will destroy himself. We are of the strong. When we get to the Nemesis, we turn on Dragonflame! Are you with me, or do you perfer to by Armada's puppet? We don't have much time, lets go."[/glow]

Baal rushed in. She started talking about defection. "Defect?" he frowned. "Armada is indeed a fool and a madman. But Rainstorm is a genocidal maniac bent on total destruction. He'll kill you too my dear" Bludgeon said looking at her. "And have you already forgotten that he tried to experiment on me... like he did on the dead?".
