The Monster of Kaon (Transformers Si): Chapter 3

"…And this is the best you could do?"

"Do you think it is that easy to get access to a flyer that is big enough for you? This is the only civilian-grade transport we could find that was your size, the other types are all military-grade and that is something we cannot risk stealing right now."

"But that thing is ugly as sin! There is no way I am taking it as my new Alt-Mode."

"Then you will have to make do in your normal mode for a while."

"…Fine, keep the ship for our use. I will wait for us to get access to military-grade ships."

I suppressed the urge to punch in Breakdown's face at his amused look. Although I got my parts a few days ago and am ready to get back into the field, the lack of an Alt-Mode is seriously grating on my nerves, especially since I have gotten used to flying at extreme speeds across the skies of Cybertron.

Even though I can now fly thanks to Knockout and Breakdown's work in effectively replacing my parts with new ones, it just doesn't compare to flying in my jet form.

But for now, I have other priorities to take care of.

"So, did you guys find out where Sentinel's 'army' is?"

"We did, Thanks to Shockwave and Soundwave making a lot of noise in the council, we managed to spook that bastard of a Prime enough that he went straight for his safe house where the so-called M.T.Os are being created."

I felt disgusted as I instantly realized the meaning of that acronym without needing to use the knowledge from my old life.

M.T.O. Made to order.

This bastard is desecrating the Matrix of Leadership and using its power to produce new sparks at an exponential rate unlike how only a few hundred new sparks are born per few years from the Well of Sparks.

He then forces these newborn sparks into prefabricated bodies, robbing them of the ability to create a body that suits their spark.

This bastard is literally creating child soldiers on an industrial scale.

Breakdown handed me a datapad that I instantly connected to using my power, directly sending the location of the safe house to my brain module.

"Have our people gather at the coordinates in an hours time, we will begin our assault at that time. Also, call Megatronus over, I need to speak with him."

Breakdown snickered at Megatronus's name being mentioned, probably remembering the one-sided beatdown he got from me yesterday after I took him up on his challenge for the role of leadership.

When Megatronus first realized that Sentinel had destroyed my body on a fundamental level, his fury was a sight to see, but that fury of his was tempered by his ambition. That is why, instead of calling off the match, he went ahead with it. Not like it helped him much since despite not having the god-like strength of my previous body, I still had my experience and the modified new body that put me a little above Megatronus when it came to physical strength.

Needless to say, the young gladiator did not even get the chance to go on the offensive against me.

Thankfully, I had the foresight to make our duel a private affair where only our closest comrades were present. This prevented Megatronus's reputation from being ruined within the ranks of the organization.

"Also, have Skyquake and Dreadwing rendezvous with me at the coordinates."

"Got it."

With his confirmation, I activated the boosters on my back and legs and took to the skies.

Author Notes: A small chapter but something that I wanted to post separately since the next chapter will be the first-ever offensive carried out by the CRDF.
