"Soundwave... send a message to Julius Vonstein and Aozora. We're going to convince them into coercing O-1 into giving us control of the SA. If that doesn't work, we'll raid this place to the Inferno," Megatron ordered.
"Yes, my Liege," Soundwave obediently responded. He then proceeded to type out a message to the two dictators.
- Code: Select all
To: Julius Vonstein of The Eurasian Empire and Aozora Chiyumi of Kyoki Chudoku
From: High Lord Soundwave.
This is Soundwave of the Cybertronian Empire. We would like for you two, as the closest allies to the SA, to convince O-1 to abdicate his leadership. If he complies, we shall grant him sanctuary on Cybertron. If he, and you two, do not comply, then we will be forced to mobilize our troops and invade the SA head-on. We want you to, essentially, convince him to secede full control of the SA over to the High Lords. Again, he will survive if you follow through with our demands, and if you do not, he will be executed by our Decepticon Justice Division once we control the Citadel.
And we will. You know that.
We hope you will comply with our demands,
Soundwave.
"I wonder..." Starscream muttered under his breath, and he started to type out a message to EVERYONE. Even their greatest enemies.
- Code: Select all
To: All Available Leaders.
From: High Lord Starscream.
This is High Lord Starscream, and I have placed a bounty on the head - or rather, helm - of each and every one of the Overseers. The price for their murder?
One hundred million Shanix. Each. For all twelve of them.
We are seeking to annex the Supreme Authority since we now regard O-1 as an incompetent leader who has lost control of his territory to the rebellion, and in return for allowing us to do whatever we want to this country, we will pay you the shanix and we will spare you for a little while longer.
Thank you,
Starscream.
Starscream smirked cockily, smug that he is likely to be the reason why Cybertron will gain an important territory. Certainly, he will be venerated for stellar cycles to come. "Oh, Lord Megatron! I've created a bounty!" he exclaimed.
Megatron carefully read it in its entirety. He then proceeded to hand the datapad over to Soundwave, ordering him to send it to everyone only if Aozora and Vonstein do not comply with their demands. "I'll remind you all - failure to secure the SA will result in dire punishments, and you know what that'll involve. Spark extraction, etc., etc. Majin Sonic here will be more than willing to torture you all if youj fail us! Am I clear?" Megatron bellowed authoritatively.
They all - except for Starscream, who merely folded his arms - exclaimed, "Yes, Lord Megatron! Yes, Lord Sonic!"
"Soundwave! Send our demands to Aozora and Victor. Keep the other message for if they do not comply," Megatron ordered. "And tell our G.I.L. allies our location. Tell them that I would like to prepare for an all-out assault on the Citadel if the tyrants refuse to obey me."
Soundwave nodded, and then proceeded to send the messages to the two tyrants.
