Okay, at this point, just make up your own sound effects.
Also; I haven't read these in a while, but I think this might be one of my least favorites, mostly because of some of the dialogue and it's rushed nature.
HUNT FOR THE PRIME
(Open on Cybertron; the Nemesis, Megatron's flagship, lands in Kaon (presumably). Shockwave and other Decepticons stand at attention, ready to greet him as he comes down the boarding ramp).
Shockwave: Hello, my lord. I've prepared your-
(Megatron hits Shockwave) Shockwave: Oof!
Megatron: Shockwave... where is Scorponok?
Shockwave: He's... he's.
(Scorponok arrives) Scorponok: You... called, my lord?
Megatron: Yes, as a matter of fact.
(Megatron hits Scorponok) Scorponok: Oof!
Megatron: You've failed me! You let the Autobots escape!
Scorponok: B-but, my lord-
Megatron (grabbing Scorponok by the neck): You don't deserve to call me "lord", you failure!
(Megatron throws Scorponok against the side of a building) Scorponok: Agh!
Megatron (to the other Decepticons): Let this be a message to you.
(Later, at some cantina (Maccadam's Old Oil House?), Megatron arrives, much to the shock of several patrons)
Generic: Is that... him??
Oil Slick: Yes....
Megatron (approaching Oil Slick): Are you Oil Slick?
Oil Slick: Yeh, what's it to you?
Megatron: I want to hire you.
Oil Slick: For what?
(Megatron shows him a holographic image of the Matrix of Leadership) Megatron: This.
Oil Slick: The Matrix? Why?
Megatron: Just do the job.
Oil Slick: Alright. Yo, Lockdown! Axer!
Lockdown: What?
Oil Slick: Let's kick some tailpipe.
(On Earth, the Ark's crew and Jetfire's teams have returned to Earth)
Jetfire: What now, Prime?
Optimus Prime: I don't know, Jetfire. I doubt we can save Cybertron even with the Defense Team. For now, we'll just wait.
(Suddenly, an explosion occurs in the Ark's wall and Lockdown's gang appears)
Optimus Prime: What the-??
Lockdown: Look, boys. Fresh meat.
Ironhide: Who ya' callin' "meat", punk?!
(The Autobot warrior begins unloading his arm cannons at the bounty hunters)
Lockdown: Oil Slick, show 'em what you got!
(Oil Slick brings out a flail and flings it at the Autobots, narrowly missing Jazz)
Jazz: You think that's cool?
(Jazz whips out two pairs of nunchuks)
Jazz: Check this out.
(He swings one of the nunchuks and hits Oil Slick in the head)
Oil Slick: Aah!
(Nearby, Axer confronts Prowl)
Axer: What are you; the good cop or the bad cop?
(Prowl shoots Axer) Axer: Agh!
Prowl: I'm going with bad.
(We then see Optimus Prime facing off against Lockdown, their energon ax and chainsaw clashing together)
Optimus Prime: What do you want, bounty hunter?
Lockdown: Simple. Give me that Matrix of yours. Easy as that.
Optimus Prime: Why do you want it?
Lockdown: I dunno, ask Megatron. He's the one who hired us.
Optimus Prime: You'll never have it!
Lockdown (raising his hook-arm): Wanna bet?
(Optimus Prime severs Lockdown's "hook-arm" with his axe)
Lockdown: Wha-?! Not. Cool.
Optimus Prime: Leave. Now.
Lockdown: Grr....
(He transforms into car mode) Lockdown: Come on, guys.
(Oil Slick and Axer do the same) Axer: Coming, boss.
(With that, the three bounty hunters leave)
(Back on Cybertron, Shockwave's holographic form reports to Megatron)
Shockwave: My lord, the bounty hunters have failed.
Megatron: I figured they would. [Then why did you hire them?]
Megatron: Revenge, come in.
Captain: Revenge captain, reporting.
(On the videoscreen, the static clears to reveal the Revenge's captain to be: Soundblaster)
Soundblaster: Soundblaster, here. What is thy command?
Megatron: Watch your sarcasm. I have a job for you. Did you ever know any... old beings?
Soundblaster: Well... I can name a few. Why?
Megatron: Well, I can't explain, so...
(Megatron's visage on Soundblaster's video screen is replaced by a Decepticon-ish symbol)
Megatron: I found this... symbol on a dead body. Know what it is?
Soundblaster: No... it's his mark!
To be continued!
