Comic Book #2 Plot Summery

Darkhawk leads Shatterstrike and Wingbite to her small base which is set up on a small planetoid called Vector 787v8 (she calls it 787 for short wink wink ;) ).  Here she has been quite the busy little robot, researching various renewable Bio-Fuel energon resources.  She explains she discovered how to cultivate a local bio-luminescent plant and extract a potent energon from it.  She's able to continuously grow the plant – essential “farming” it as it grows quickly enough.  So she doesn't have to destroy the local resources to gain all the energy from everything.  She explains to Shatterstrike and Wingbite her goal isn't to destroy and deplete the planetoid of all it's energon resources  She does this as she gives them a tour of her facilities, which is small, but rather technical but impressive and well built.  It is clear that perhaps she didn't build all this herself, it may have been here before she got here – we don't know yet for sure.

Her goal is to find a more productive way to continuously produce energon, which might be more advantageous in the long run.  They agree to this.  Darkhawk explains she sells the energon out to various space travelers and traders, pirates, anyone who comes along and has the cash or goods enough to trade for it.  She leads them to an underground facility in the back room which is lavishly decorated.  Soft, ambient music plays in the background, and various different colored energon sits in vials and small flasks in racks along the walls.  Darkhawk turns with a devious smile, she explains this is where she collects the extractions of the results of the by-products of her research from Bio-Fuel Energon.  Wingbite grasps and flask and makes as if he's going to taste it, DH snatches it from him and scolds him!   This is her “Special Reserve” energon, it carries very … strange and unpredictable “drug-like” qualities.  Far more potent than Energon Wine, and it's extremely valuable and also dangerous.  Darkhawk forbids the 2 of them from using it and she doesn't use it herself, she only sells it out to those who are helplessly addicted to it.  “I make a very tidy profit that way.” She says.  “Use it and you will loose your mind, your intelligence and your life. It's only for my customers, not for us.” and then she leads them out and up to her main floor.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some time later, Scourge is on a scouting mission for energon resources with a small fleet of Sweeps.  He detects the energon store on Vector 787v8 and goes down to investigate.  There Scourge and the Sweep clones are a little surprised to find the base with Shatterstrike and Wingbite both working away at this strange little farm-like energon production setting.  Shatterstrike greets them, Scourge is kind of surprised to find 2 Decepticons, well; 1 Decepticon and 1 Predacon prototype working this operation. (He hasn't been introduced to Darkhawk
yet.)
  Scourge assumes Shatterstrike is the commander but Shatterstrike tells him no.  Scourge looks at him funny, and Shatterstrike smiles and takes him to “Their  Commander”.  Shatterstrike and Wingbite get a laugh when Scourge's mouth almost drops to the floor when he discovers Darkhawk is running the operation.  A female!!  How can this be?!! First of all Decepticon Females are practically myths and 2nd, females cannot be commanders!! Scourge tells Darkhawk he MUST inform Lord Galvatron of all of this AT ONCE!!  Darkhawk laughs, sort of mockingly, and is actually glad to hear it and welcomes the notion.  Scourge and his Sweep clones take off to Charr with haste.  Darkhawk tells Shatterstrike and Wingbite to prepare the base for a visit, their “Emperor” will probably be coming very soon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ON CHARR:

Scourge informs Galvatron of everything on Vector 787v8.  Galvatron at first things Scourge blew a fuse in his brain circuits or something.  He is perturbed because he thinks Scourge MUST have mistaken Darkhawk for a female Autobot!  Scourge pleads that he isn't crazy and it's all true.  And they have a huge pile of energon!  Galvatron fumes for a bit and then determines that he needs to go there and see this for himself, and seize all that energon at the very least.  He calls for Cyclonus and drags Scourge with him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ON Vector787v8

Galvatron arrives on Vector 787v8, and storms onto Darkhawk's base.  Darkhawk was right in the middle of a very delicate operation, mixing some volatile energies in one of her labs. All the noise outside almost makes her toss everything!  She comes outside to see Shatterstrike and Wingbite desperately, but failing to negotiate with and hold back a raging and blustering Galvatron!  She is not happy about being disturbed from her delicate work … Galvatron sees her and finally stops his temper tantrum throwing for a second or 2.  But he has a very skeptical
look on his face, he shouts something about her being a female autobot and that's where she snaps!

Darkhawk walks right up to Galvatron and sticks a clawed finger in his face and yells at him: “Listen here, I  don't give a slag who you are!  You can't speak to me like that!! If there is one thing in the entire universe I HATE it is being mistaken for one of those horrid Auto-whorebots!!  You farking cyber-pig!”   

Everyone around gasps in shock at what DH just did … Galvatron is even a little taken aback, for just a second, then he is about to explode in utter rage the next! Just before it looks like Galvatron is about to smack her across the field,

Cyclonus thinks quickly and steps between them and deftly nullifies the situation. “Uhm, *cough *ehm perhaps we should, arrange a shipment of energon to Charr, if at all possible …  this would be, more productive?”  

Galvatron blinks – he stops fuming at DH for a minuet, “Huh? Oh … yes... energon …”   

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, Galvatron and his party leave Darkhawk's base but Galvatron sets a very stiff ultimatum. Darkhawk must send 10,000 liters of energon to Charr in 1 Solar Cycle, Or he'll just take everything and shut down the entire operation and exile her, and take Shatterstrike and Wingbite with him.  An impossible task for sure!  But Darkhawk is steadfastly determined to do it.  Despite her crew's worries, Darkhawk pulls them together, and makes some calls out to traders to “Engage in some emergency business deals.” She sells her "special reserve" for many liters of energon she can't fulfill herself, DH has many solid connections.

BUT the Autobots Tiburon and Smite, whom have been following Darkhawk and her crew this whole time have been watching everything going down.  Tiburon makes a plan to thwart Darkhawk's large shipment of energon to Charr.  Smite asks how with just the 2 of them?  Tiburon smiles deviously and 4 roughneck Junkions step out of the shadows.  These guys look like rough, rotund biker-bots, armed to the guts and rusty.  Tiburon directs them to strike when the starlight goes down. But Tiburon wants to take on Darkhawk ALONE.

Just a ½ hour till time to send the shipment, Darkhawk loads the last cube onto the temporary transporter/bridge.  Wingbite comments on “Wow, that's a lot of energon, and I cannot believe we actually did it!”.  Darkhawk smiles and says, “I am so ready to see the look on his face when he sees all this.  Ol' Galvy thought I couldn't pull this off, I can show him! Feh!”

Just as they are going to send it … Junkions descend on the group!!Tiburon charges and Smite rains gunfire from above in his helicopter mode.  Darkhawk and her crew are forced to scatter, Shatterstrike transforms and chases Smite around a little.  Smite pulls him down into the thick of the 4 Junkions.  Wingbite is jumped by the Junkions, he makes a dash for a side panel near the transporter.  Just before Wingbite gets grabbed by a fat Junkion, he slams his tail on a S.O.S button, sending off a sub-space S.O.S alarm, then the poor Insect Predacon gets walloped!  Shatterstrike and Wingbite put up a valiant fight, but Smite and the Junkions are greatly overwhelming the 2 very quickly. Tiburon however has dashed off to get Darkhawk.  DH has focused on sending the shipment one way or the other.  Right before she can hit the send button Tiburon grabs her arm and twists her around.  He punches her a couple of times (Martial Arts).  Darkhawk fights back, manages to get a few hits in, but Tiburon outmatches her and gives her a power sweep and punch that sends her flying down.  DH draws her sword, but Tiburon disarms her, she cuts him with her elbow blades – but not enough to really stop him.  Tiburon sends DH down with another smashing blow, she can't
get up this time.  

“Give it up Sweetheart. You are going to come with me to be reformatted  wether you like it or not.  Alita-1 has demanded it.” Says Tiburon.  

“Never! That bitch can rust in the slag pit!” She spits in defiance at him.  

Tiburon starts to make a grab for Darkhawk ….

Something huge and super strong grabs Tiburon completely off his feet from behind and throws him off to the side, against the wall!  Tiburon is stunned for a second, shakes his head, and just barely misses being blasted by a powerful ion blast.  He looks up to see Lord Galvatron standing over him, a very perturbed Galvatron, looking at him with his arm cannon raised at him. "No Autobot interfears with my Energon shipments!" Galvatron shouts.  Tiburon scrambles out of the way just as Galvatron fires another blast.  Tiburon manages to attempt a leg sweep, which temporarily seems to slightly trip Galvatron up.  But Galvatron corrects and slams a fist down onto Tiburon.  Tiburon rolls out of the way as another fist comes down and Tiburon makes a run for it.  He pauses as he sees Darkhawk slowly making her way to the transporter.  He reluctantly snarls under his breath a bit … even though he sees Galvatron stomping right for him.  He looks over and sees the Junkions have been slaughtered by Cyclonus, Scourge, Sweeps and the the other 2.  He hoped Smite made it out … Tiburon quickly transforms
into vehicle mode and roars off, just before Galvatron fires another shot at him.

(Smite did make it out alive and pretty safely. He flies out of the foray when Cyclonus and the Sweeps come in.  There are some scenes that show this battle.  To be added at my will.)

Darkhawk is injured, but she is determined to send the energon.  20 seconds before the time is up on her ultimatum she crawls up on the console and hits the SEND button.  Then she collapses back to the ground.  Galvatron is standing there, she looks him right in the optics, a little defiant. “There, I sent it!” Galvatron just looks sort of amused.  “I'm impressed … for now.”  He actually picks her up, she's not quite sure what to make sure to make of this.  He lifts off and flies over to the group (Cyclonus, Scourge, Sweeps, a battered Shatterstrike, Wingbite) and puts her down.  Galvatron decrees that Darkhawk and her crew are to go to the newly built Charr headquarters temporarily for repair and working out some business arrangements. Darkhawk of course worries about her base, but Galvatron stations Cyclonus, and calls down the Predacon team down to look after the base.  Razorclaw  leader of the Original Predacon sub-group, assures her that they will look after her base with vigilance.

Galvatron takes DH, and they go off to Charr - END
Here is a fairly detailed summary of book 2. I actually have it all planned out. I just need to get to drawing it, and making those last pages of the first one. Which I'll do here shortly.

This book is the one that will feature cannon, DH and crew meeting up with Galvatron and crew. It's quite a crazy comic! lots of stuff going on! And no, Galvy and Darkhawk's first encounter is NOT a mushy-gushy lovey one. Far from it, it's actually quite a ... different from the norm one. I know how much ppl hate those, so I made mine so unlike the 100s you would normally read. :D

I wrote it more like an overview, not like a whole book. So it's more like notes and a script than a real long book. I prefer writing like that because it's short and fast. Cuts thru the BS to the good parts.
