I do not own transformers, they belong to Hasbro. I only own my characters; Dark Orbit, Clash, Lou, Mick, Marianne and Anna

Prologue

As Mick is reading the paper; he comes across an advert in the employment section. He likes the sound of it and mentions it to his wife Louise, also known as Lou for short.

"Hey Lou, look at this position" Mick called.

"I thought you were happy with the job you have" Lou was somewhat puzzled with his desire to change his job considering he was happy in the one he already had.

"Yes, however this one is offering very good money and it is doing a lot more than what I'm doing now.

"Let me see" Mick handed her the paper. She read it.

"Worldwide communications and security. Who are they? Seriously, you'd better do some research about them and find out who they are"

"Nah, it'll be fine"

"Mick I've worked in my job for 5 years and I've never heard of them. They sound like an organisation we'd do business with."

"I'm applying for it and that's final" He raised his voice as he said this. "You are too cautious Lou" Lou was frustrated with Mick's spontaneity and stubbornness as it often got him into trouble. She walked out of the room and continued getting herself organised for work. Little did he know that dark forces were at work.

CHAPTER 1 Dark Orbit's mission.

Dark Orbit was one of Megatron's best spies on Cybertron. He stood about 14 feet tall which was ideal for a Mech to be able to get into small areas but still not so ideal for earth. He was very good at stealth, hanging around in dark areas to do his work. Orbit had fingers which turned into the tools required for espionage and blades which could be used during battle; these were retracted into his arms when not in use. Not to mention circular disks with three more blades which would swing out as the disks were thrown. These were situated just under his forearm and would be pulled out by grabbing each forearm with the opposite hand. Even his colouring was suited to his job. He was pure black with a dark blue helmet and shutters which would go over his eyes so they didn't glow whilst still enabling him to see perfectly.

He had quickly discovered that espionage on earth was easier at night-time (the darker the better) especially when humans shut everything down to go into their recharge. Street lamps were a pain though. This didn't deter Dark Orbit, he was nimble and slim so he could slip down dark alleyways and his ability to glide silently offered him the opportunity to glide across buildings. Landing was never a problem either, he was always light on his feet. His alt mode was that of a black Ferrari with black tinted windows. Dark Orbit could also mask his Decepticon signature by using a signature barrier specifically designed for him. It had worked perfectly during his trips to Iacon while on Cybertron. Now it would again come in useful as he had been instructed to go to the Autobot base to spy on the Autobots.

He was in Autobot headquarters as instructed and overheard Wheeljack and Perceptor talking in one of the labs.

"Hey Percy how are you?" Wheeljack always enjoyed Perceptor's visits, they were very good friends. Perceptor was always good at looking at things from a different angle offering a new concept to whatever it was another Mech was working on.

"Fine Wheeljack, what is this?" Perceptor was really intrigued with the object Wheeljack was working on. Percy picked it up and moved it around. It was easy to hold and light; he tried to imagine Ironhide with it. "Nah" he thought. It was a rather odd looking object almost like a hand gun; not like the hand guns that he was used to. It was short and narrow, it didn't have a trigger it had a crescent handle on which there were two large buttons, the top button was blue, the one underneath was red. Percy pushed the blue button; the weapon hummed and the blue button lit up. The light showed up against the black weapon.

"I'm inventing a new weapon to help in our war against the Decepticons."

"What's the blue light for?" Percy was quite perplexed by this.

"Mmm?" Wheeljack looked up.

"Oh that, that's the blue light which tells us it's charging; when it goes to the red light it is charged and then the trigger can be pulled the rest of the way." He tried but nothing happened.

"Nothing has happened" Percy was slightly disappointed about this. He always liked to try things to see how they worked. Wheeljack looked up.

"Ah no it won't yet I haven't connected everything together yet. I'm still making sure everything comes on as it is supposed to"

"What does it do, it sounds rather interesting"

"I know, it is designed to shoot out a ray of electricity, which will travel a lot further than some of our more conventional weapons. If the Decepticons get caught by the ray of electricity then they will become short circuited. It could cause them a lot of problems and the loss of a battle" Wheeljack was quite excited about this invention. "Starscream will be interested in this" mused Dark Orbit and carried on listening.

"Yeah but didn't Optimus say no more inventions that could cause more trouble if the Decepticons got hold of them?" Perceptor was quite concerned about this weapon; he knew only too well from experience what the Decepticons can do if they got hold of something which has the ability to give them the upper hand in a battle. Dark Orbit turned to move but as he did he accidentally knocked a shelf, it rocked a little bit knocking some of Wheeljack's equipment onto the floor. The noise distracted them but they weren't too concerned about it. After all things were always falling off shelves or exploding in Wheeljack's lab. Wheel jack walked over and picked everything up. Dark Orbit held his breath until Wheeljack started to move away; as he did he felt air blowing on him. "Strange!" he thought but didn't mention anything else about it. Dark Orbit crept around the base keeping in the shadows, he's skill of stealth kicking in automatically, no one was aware.

Although the Autobot computer systems did pick up an anomaly neither Red Alert nor Prime could find anything of concern.

"Just keep an eye out Red and let me know if it happens again."

"Will do Prime" Red was a little unnerved about this anomaly, something didn't seem quite right and warning bells were ringing.

Dark Orbit made his way back to Decepticon headquarters.

"Hail Starscream" ooh how he hated that salute. He really had no respect for Starscream as he did for Megatron but now he was gone, by a human fleshling no less. "I have really interesting information that will most likely be of great interest to you"

"Tell me" Starscream snarled. "If it will allow us to defeat the Autobots then I am all audios."

"Well I overheard a conversation between Wheeljack and the other one, the red one. I believe his name is Perceptor. They are inventing a weapon. It will shoot out a ray of electricity causing short circuiting especially in a transformer, can you imagine the damage something like that would cause?"

"Hee hee. Yes I can Dark Orbit. We could use that weapon against the humans AND the Autoscum, I could use it to ransom earth, then we could have energy to make energon and I would be able to rule this earth, no the universe and those cursed Autobots would be defeated. I am closer to victory then Megatron ever got" He leaned menacingly towards Dark Orbit, who cringed.

"No matter what happens I want that weapon however we will need a human to help us because we can't get into Autobot systems alone. We need human intervention to help us; especially with Frenzy no longer with us. Do what you have to do Dark Orbit to get a human, they are very gullible so I'm sure you can think of something." he sent Dark Orbit off and sat back in his chair smirking.

Dark Orbit himself enjoyed having a free rein, he knew Megatron would have trusted him to get a job done, and done thoroughly and Starscream believed he could too. It was Dark Orbit's way, it was his standards he'd set for himself.
