Just a quick one-shot placed after "Predacons Rising". Features my OC.
As Starscream braced himself for the final blow, a mechanical howl ripped through the air. Predaking looked up towards the unusual sound, he was met with a large red blur. It hit him hard, making him unbalanced and dazed, allowing Starscream to escape. The seeker took the opportunity without hesitation.
But just as he escaped Predaking's grasp, he was fling into the air. When he landed shortly-after, he almost had a spark-attack.
He was suddenly riding some kind of predacon.
Anyone could easily tell this predacon was different. It had no wings, and its crimson form was very like the earth creatures known as wolves. Sharp blades protruded along its spine and from its joints. It had a large and mighty sword strapped to its side, which looked quite familiar to the startled seeker. It wasn't as big as Predaking, but wasn't far from his size. It looked up towards the former second-in-command with its bright blue optics, trying to reassure him.
Predaking, Darksteel, and Skylynx looked at the red newcomer with a glare showing both excitement and frustration. Predaking and co. transformed into her bipedal formes, and tried to reason the wolf-like beast into giving them Starscream. All they received was a menacing snarl.
Fed up, the returned to their beast formes, and attempted to attack the seeker, regardless whether he was being protected by a fellow beast or not. The three predacons cornered the red beast and her rider to the edge of the platform.
Realizing the situation, the wolf-beast launched a fiery blast at the predacon trio, then proceeded to jump off the cliff anyway. The smoke from the blast allowed the beast and seeker to get away without being seen.
Even though Starscream was greatly afraid of predacons, he enjoyed the fast and smooth ride this one had given him. His joy was quickly stopped when the mecha wolf suddenly grinded to a halt. It tried shook the seeker off its back, forcing him to dismount. The beast looked at him with its bright, beautiful optics, then took a step back.
The mecha-wolf then proceeded to transform, until it was in full robot mode. Starscream gasped, immediatelly recognizing the crimson femme grounder before him.
"It's been awhile, hasn't it Screamer?"
