Pasts Entwined: A Crimson Trail (Remade)
I have redone a lot of the intro and changed it from a comic ish format to a General Story Format and added the names of the other two decepticons.
Once again Steeljaw is not portrayed the same way as he is in the animated series he originates from.
This is my first time writing any kind of story so constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.
Picture drawn by my great friend that does not want to be named.
(With the discovery of an anti-spark, more and more decepticons have been sent in attempts to retrieve it to gain a huge advantage over the autobots. What the decepticons leaders don't expect is their own to turn against them, not all decepticons want the planet earth destroyed, some would much rather study the planet and learn about the humans like the autobot to change sides if you will. One of these decepticons is Steeljaw. Once a guard aboard a decepticon jail ship holding many autobots prisoner he was jailed himself for same time for traitorous views on the way the decepticons are operating. He was sent to earth and given the chance to redeem himself and to gain his rank back, but what the decepticons don't know is he is using this to his own advantage. The decepticons have been attack multiple cities on earth in attempting to distract the autobots from their attempts to find the anti-spark and Steeljaw has been placed on one of those missions.) Barricade: Alright I got my section stirred up How about you two? Steeljaw: Yea I got my area Pretty battered. starscream: Ha, there isn't a human left in this section. You two need to up your game. Steeljaw: Starscream the mission wasn't to kill all the humans, it was to get them riled up to distract the autobots you idiot. starscream: Eh the autoboots will come whether there all dead or not, all that matters is having some fun.Steeljaw: look if you continue to compromise… *Barricade quickly interrupts Steeljaw* Barricade: Steeljaw, Starscream, stop your bickering, we need to head to the other side of the city and wait for the autobots. Besides, look over there *points to a human crying on the ground next to a corpse* you clearly didn't get them all. Starscream: Oh, thanks for letting me know, I will go fix that right away. *Steeljaw steps in front of Starscream as he attempts to walk over to the human* Steeljaw: You have done enough I will deal with the human, you two head to the waiting point. *He says glaring at Starscream.* Barricade: Whatever Steel, Come on Starscream. (He he motions for Starscream to follow.) Starscream: ugh fine, he looks like he wouldn't be any fun to kill anyway. *Barricade and Starscream roll out to the meeting point.*
Steeljaw: I'm going to get killed dealing with those two. Alright let's deal with what Starscream started. *SJ Makes his way over to the young looking male human. The human spots Steeljaw coming and starts shouting in panic*Human: GET AWAY!! Haven't you already done enough you goddamn monsters?! *looking around him he quickly grabs a large rock and throws it at Steeljaw. The rock tings off Steeljaws metal body not effecting him in the slightest* SJ:gutsy little creature, for something I can crush with my foot you don't seem to be so fearful. Human: fearful?! You killed my friends, you killed my family, and now you have killed my brother! There is no one and nothing I have left; you monsters have taken it all! Why should I bother being afraid of you knowing no matter what I do you will kill me? SJ: Aww who knows human. Maybe I'm too tired to kill some more. Human: ha, monsters don't show mercy, you can't even understand what I am going through, my brother... the closest person I ever had and now he is gone. I swear if you could even have a brother I would do everything in my power to end him so you could know what I feel right now. The saddest thing is you can't, even if you did monsters don't feel Compassion, even for their own kind. You would kill your own brother if he became an inconvenience. *Steeljaw stares at the human with disgust, anger, and sadness* Steeljaw:You think all Decepticons are alike? You think I'm not capable of feeling Compassion?! I did have a brother and he was ripped to shreds by your dam precious autobots! He never wanted to fight for Megatron, but he did out of fear, we both did, I do. I think we are wasting our time trying to take over this damn planet, living amongst the autobots would still be better than drifting through space. Now tell me again human how I don't know what it's like. Human: Why should I believe any of this! You come to kill me when I have no defense and yet you claim to know compassion. *steeljaw looks down in slight frustration and weariness* SJ: look, maybe… maybe I didn't come over here with intents to kill you. Human: then why! SJ: I did say I follow the Decepticons out of fear of Megatron, well he is dead, now isn't he? Human: yea… SJ: maybe I haven't left because even if I did I wouldn't know what to do or where to go. But I see now... we both understand the pain of losing our closest friend. Together we could fend for ourselves, without Decepticons or autobots. I could protect you, and you could help me blend in. Human: Why... why would I do such a thing when you killed my! *SJ interrupts* SJ: I am not the one that killed your brother! Starscream did and I like him no more than you. Human: alright... but by going with you I would be turning my back on the autobots, they have always protected humans like me. SJ: Have they? You think this is a sudden change of heart? Three times I sent the autobots advanced warnings of our attacks and not once did they show up ahead of time to stop us. Human: What... but they… why... why wouldn't they come... they could have saved my brother… SJ: Human I do not hate the autobots… but I do not trust them to make the right decisions either. I would rather walk out of here with a human by my side, but if you still do not believe me then I will go now. Human: No! please… I can't survive on my own. I will go with you… but please allow me to bury my brother. SJ: I'm sorry but we can't wait, we need to get out of here before a fight breaks out *SJ leans down and lends a large claw to the human to help him stand up, the human takes his claw to stand up* Human: thank you… the name is Leo, and yours Wolfbot? SJ: They call me Steeljaw, and I am not a “Wolfbot". Now as I was saying… *large explosion erupts from a far distance* Leo we need to go now! Before they fight their way over here. Leo: alright! SJ: Hop in *he says as he transforms into his truck form. Leo rushes into SJ's cab* Leo: out of all the cars in the world you had to be a truck… Sj: do you have an issue with my form? Or would you rather run behind me? Leo: no no I'm good! You did say you wanted me to help you blend in more… I might have a better car in mind. SJ: oh?...
To Be Worked on at later date.
