" He'd git a taste a what Megatron shoulda done to 'im years ago."
* Takedown said with a bit a bit of cruel anticipation in his voice. Its not like he's the only mech who ever had the tast of 'beating starscream' on his 'to do' list. But even with this, he still kept his optics on the feline, even when Sunstorm strode up and injected himself into the conversation.*
* Needless to say... his little revelation was unexpected... almost laughable actually.*
" Yer kiddin me right? She been partakin a th high grade a little too much lately?"

Onslaught followed after Spinout more than a little nervous but he tried to detach his emotions from the situation. After all getting upset wouldn't help matters much. Standing slightly behind the other Onslaught II decided now wasn't the time to press for going first. Instead he stood at ease behind Spinout and let the other draw attention to the pair of them. The instinct to snap to attention is rather strong but he holds it off for now. If need be he can salute them later.

Sunstorm shrugs in response. "I think it's a sound strategy myself. The Decepticon council members were forced to take starscream in for the support of his Combaticons... But that doesn't mean they're not stupid. We need someone on the councils that is every bit as paranoid as Starscream himself that follows Autobot ideals. Are you saying you aren't such a person?" He adds with a smile. "Two canisters of Energon Ale and your track record says otherwise my friend. "

Meanwhile in the council chambers, Scaletalon was lounging on the couch, stoned out of his CPU and eating a Reuben sandwich he managed to swipe. Huffer was sitting on the floor, smoking a bong, being bored out his mind. They were apparently were bored out of their mind. When Scaletalon heard Spinout, he turns around and see his teammate at the door. "Dude! Hey! How are ya?" He noted that Onslaught was there with them. He wondered why was he here with Spinout. Doesn't matter, he's with his friend again.

"Megatron had his reasons for keeping the traitor close." Doscord said as she wandlered over, Clamp tucked into a baby carrier between her wings. "Scream kept him sharp and on his guard. never let him relax."

Data responds back. "Hey! who's the one who's registered hours on this thing my friend?" He responds amusingly as he swerves to the side for a moment before turning back to the leviathan... using the lowered height of the turning cycle to make his way underneath the creature. He comes pulling up to the gate a few moments later, noticing Ravage and Takedown. "Hmm... we've got a showdown happening, it looks like. Might wanna wait it out Crasher." "Watch it yah scurvey land lubben dogs." the leviathan growled as he transformed and shifted his harpoon to a holster on his back. Finback looked back dow the road as Longtooth pulled up and transformed as well. Both looked a heck of a lot younger then their recorded years. |

* Even to take down, this didn't sound right. Considering all of the infractions on his record, and his reputation for ramming bumpers and taking serial numbers, let alone his general distrust for anything ending in 'con' that any political machine would want him for anything other than a guard.*
" Fer one thing, I aint paranoid. Paranoid's bein afraid fer no reason, Distrust uv a con is just waitin fer th inevitable..."
* Takedown took note of the growing crowd that seemed to take interest in their little conversation. He was never one to really care who herd him voice his opinion, or care who herd him call a scraplet a scraplet. He busted heads, he wasn't a politician. But there was something that was burning him up inside...*
" 'N where da slag's dey git off puttin that double-dealin snake on any council? Did cybertrons conversion ta vegan switch off everyones sanity processors 're sumthin?"

Data looked back to the two with a blink as he comes back to a stop, surprised at all the pirate lingo. "Sorry about that... uh... captain?" He responds with a bit of confusion. Sunstorm responds to Takedown calmly. "As I said Takedown... it was more a matter of public safety more then anything else at the time. Dirge has been working to increase public opinion for the Beast decepticon party.... which ultimately led to a weakening of forces at the time. What security forces they had during this conflict were on the verge of being overwhelmed by the monstrosities... so he was forced to give starscream the chair in exchange for the Combaticons and their offspring's help in repelling the threat. I did not mean paranoid in an offensive manner... I merely meant unlike some of us, you rarely, if ever let your guard down when it comes to Starscream. " He pauses for a moment, in thought before responding further. "Plus there's the fact someone had already effected the previous council with enhancers. We still do not know who was involved, but considering your medical records, military service, and history... It's very unlikely if such an attack happened again, the enhancers would effect you. Your pretender shell potentially... and even then. You carry enough hardware that even if you were effected, you'd get the jump on anyone who did such a thing..." He paused for a moment before blinking and looking in the direction of the others. "Finback, Longtooth?... I see you managed to get the alert finally. You're both looking... well." He paused for a moment before glancing in Longtooth's direction. "Well, at least that will relieve Elita some.. she won't be the only teenaged council member from the old council. We're currently taking a break from organizing... anything we can get you both?" ooc: btw Cryptic, is Longtooth a transmetal?  |

((OOC: -kicks forum repeatedly- Why don't you like me!! Why won't pages load right!!))
((OOC2: Yeah, Long is TM2. Liked his vehical mode to much to loose it. Fin is a TO creature from Surface. I'd include a pic but i've yet to find a good adult shot.))
IC:
Finback coughed and then grinned at Sunstorm. "No, We're good. still ajusting to not haveing creeky joints." he said dropping the pirate accent. "And trying to figure out how the two of us got harpooned like a pair of whales."
"Are those... dang, glad we got off easy." Long tooth said as he unscrewed one of his tusks and used it to scratch his back.
"Sunstorm, Icebird says she'll accept the position offered her, but do to events, can not leave the Church at this time." Crasher said as he hopped off the cycle.

Spinout looks to Scaletalon for a moment... then his surrounding area to make sure everything's alright. After taking a moment to confirm he hasn't done anything too drastic, he just nods lightly in response with a smile before turning back towards the councils.
Dirge meanwhile looks towards Onslaught Jr for a moment carefully, thinking for a moment about exactly what he wants to say to the young decepticon. "Onslaught... there are a number of changes happening this day to our world, both in alliances being strengthed between the retrospective races of our world. The fact of the matter is that we need strong leaders who are willing to put away their respected bias away and work with those they normally would not for the good of the species. You've demonstrated such abilities today in the defense of Deva Corp alongside the Stunticon's spawn... and on your travels here. The Decepticon Council would like to offer you a seat amongst it." He leans back in his 'chair', letting the idea sink in and waiting a response before continuing.
**********************************************
Sunstorm blinks before nodding in response to Crasher as he arrives. "Thank you Crasher. It is good to see you in such good health at the moment as well." He turns to Longtooth for a moment before nodding silently. "Indeed... some kind of transformation virus or weapon seems to have been used on Cheetor turning him into a girl shifting through various former forms. We're still don't have final numbers on how badly everyone messed themselves up, and it seems the younger one was turned...the more lack of self-control they gained. Poor grimlock was thrown down a flight of stairs due to water pressure and an unsecured bath fixture thanks to a couple of kiddified former members..."

"Dude, you're going to be the....ummm......Dude in chief," Scaletalon said while chomping on the sandwich. "You're so going to be a Council dude."

* this entire situation didn't sit well for takedown... even with Monsters and enhancers, there was no excuse in his mind for going to Screamer for backup. These 'kids' (no pun intended) had no idea what the hell they where doing. He didn't like the idea of taking the roll of beurocrat... but he disliked the idea of screamer being left unsupervised on the council even less.*
" Fine den.... I'm in... but none a you know whut yer gettin yerselves in to..."

Longtooth nodded and winced at what happened to Grimlock. "Brute ok?"
"Hey, about time he got a bath." Finback laughed. "I don't think he's had one since he was created."

Onslaught just stood there blinking for a few moments letting his CPU process that bit of information. He seemed startled and not quite sure what to say; the poor guy was litterally speechless. Of all the things to be expecting that was certainly not one of them. Deciding it was best to tell the truth Onslaught II spoke quite softly for a mech his size "I..I don't know what to say. Thank you sir."
It was at times like these he wished Blastoff II would be here to help out. A good military commander he may be; but Onslaught wasn't sure how to respond to something quite like this.

Sunstorm nods lightly towards Takedown. "Believe me, we're already trying to expect the unexpected... We're just lucky he hasn't come down here to attempt anything just yet." He turns over to Longtooth for a moment, thoughtful on that situation. "I believe he is, it was more of a shock and awe injury then anything... He was walking around afterwards. I will give the autobots involved props on their ingeniousness of setting off such an plan... though that is merely formalities at this moment. We should re-enter as the others are probably starting to reconvene at this point, shouldn't we?" He takes a moment to nod to them again before heading inside.
****************************************
Dirge smiles in response, feeling a bit of pride in that he had surprised the young combaticon. It gives him a little hope that they will be able to keep Starscream from doing too much damage to the council, how little hope that is. "Good... now take a seat Onslaught. You've earned it." He responds in a calmly matter before looking to the others involved. "I did my part guys... now it's your turn."
