Code of Honor

By: Master Solo

Disclaimer: I don’t own any of this except for the idea that Scales survives it all.

Note: I’m usually more descriptive in my writing, but it just didn’t come to me.  I hope I got everything down right and if I didn’t, please point out my mistakes.  I got the idea to write this when I watched Code of Hero on the season 2 DVD and I still can hum that music.

“What can you possibly do?”  Megatron asked arrogantly.  He could hardly believe that a lone warrior could still stand against his plan.

“Improvise.”  Dinobot replied simply.  The warrior rarely gave lengthy explanations, especially not to the foolish lunatic who led his former comrades.  He roughly put the circular end of his club around a large piece of stone and pounded Megatron’s chestplate with his new hammer.  The impact knocked the Predacon leader off his feet and sent the golden disk flying a hundred feet into the air.

“Stasis lock commencing.”  The warrior’s systems announced.  Before he could override, Dinobot collapsed onto the soft, brown forest floor beneath him.

Cheetor was the first Maximal to arrive on the scene.  He carefully flew over the flames so that his exhaust fumes would extinguish them and preserve the local life.

Cheetor transformed as he spotted Megatron engaging Dinobot in combat.  He aligned the two halves of his cat-head and spat fire at the enemy leader.  As the plasma bolt came mid-way, the golden disk jumped into the path and shattered into a million pieces as it took the hit for Megatron.

“Curse it!  My plans have been ruined again!  Retreat!”  The Predacon leader growled as he spotted the approaching Maximals.

The Maximals collectively gasped as they saw Dinobot lying against a boulder in stasis lock.  The battered but still functional body told half of what had happened while most of the Maximals were en route.

“Lizard lips?”  Rattrap was the first to speak.

“Let’s get him back to base.”  Optimus ordered and the other Maximals obeyed.

***

After an indefinite amount of time, Dinobot awakened in the CR Chamber.  All of the depleted energy had returned and there was no visible sign of damage on the armor that he had expected to see battered.  The somewhat cylindrical door lifted and almost all of the other Maximals were there to greet him.

“Welcome back, Dinobot.  You saved the people of the valley.”  Optimus was the first to speak.

“The golden disk?”  Dinobot clenched his raptor talons in suspicion and narrowed his optics.

“I vaped it.”  Cheetor replied.  The transmetal’s face reeked of nothing but sincerity and Dinobot was relieved.  Megatron no longer had access to the information that could terminate every human, Maximal, and Predacon alike.

“Yer a slag-spoutin’ saurian, but it’s good to know where ya stand.”  Rattrap commented.

“This, coming from you, vermin.”  The dinosaur replied with a ghost of a grin on his face.

I might go on to rewrite the rest of Season 2 (BWTF.com has only the script for S1&S2 and same goes for my library with the DVD’s) if ya want, or I might let you do the rewriting with Dinobot staying alive and all if you email me about it.
