Ramjet went to follow Thundercracker down to where Thrust came from and as he did a new seeker came out of Shockwave's lab that has an air about him that makes the Conehead seeker suddenly jump out of the way and go up against the wall as the unknown seeker passed. As he did, Thrust noticed that he held a bladed staff that appeared to be having a firey glow to the blades. Rather quickly, Ramjet looks at Thundercracker and asked, "Who was that, he looks rather spooky...?" Then 2 more walked outside as well. By hearing this, Thundercracker looks to see the three newcomers exit Shockwave' lab, one of them definitely carried a fiery glowing staff as well with some fire in his optics. He then backed up against a wall as the two others head towards the outside and glare towards their backs.
So, this is who might have spooked Thrust...
Once the three were out of sight, Thundercraker looks at Ramjet. "I am not sure who they were but I vaguely heard one of them gave their names, which are Acid Storm, Stormfront, and Novastorm, if I heard correctly… I do not remember anyone in the Kaon having those names."
He then pauses a bit.
"I am very curious on where they are heading." He looks in both Dirge's and Ramjet's direction. "Do either of you want to join me and follow them but try to stay out of sight?"
Novastorm left ahead of the other two and as he took off, he keeps his sensors open on his two siblings. As he tested his jet speed and other alt functions, he found that his top speed was intense and he enjoyed the freedom it gave. He then locked on both Stormfront and Acid Storm's Energon signatures, just as he received Acid Storm's comm. He dropped in close to them and said,
"I've been here...no need to call for me." He then transformed and landed firmly on the ground and as he did, he engages his trilithium plasma cannons and targeted a series of metal out cropping that is not too far away and fired at them. The resulting blast incinerated them into molten slag almost instantly.
Stormfront looks at Acid Storm then at Novastorm who shows up out of the blue. After a bit, he shakes his head in slight amusement before searching through his protocols to see what Acid Storm was talking about...it appeared that he had something similar? After a bit, he turns to his apparently speedy sibling before speaking to him, "I think Acid wants to have fun and bring the rain. Check your protocols...you might have something similar." During this discussion, Acid Storm gives a slight glare at his show-off brother but does not say anything about it. After hearing Stormy, he gives a nod towards Novastorm and smirks in his direction. He then glances up at the Cybertronian sky, which has no clouds present.
"No clouds in the sky but I think that I can fix that problem. If you want to join me, see you in the sky in a short bit...I want to test this out."
He then transforms and takes off. While he is flying, his hyperion3 cannons stick out from underneath his wings, so that he can proceed to fire and out of the blue, a dark cloud appears at a slight distance away from his siblings. Within an instant, rain pours down in the spot right below him. Some of the metallic rock begins to rot away. After a bit, he swoops down towards the rotted metallic surface in order to inspect it, which appeared to be acidic and he grabs a piece of it before heading to his brothers.
Novastrorm searched through his protocols and found that he could manipulate the various elements, mostly in the gaseous state, to do about anything he wished. He then uses his staff to draw in some of the raw elements and as he does, he directs it into the acid raincloud Acid Storm created and it hit just as Acid Storm steps out of the way. The gases he used causes Acid Storm's acid to advance to a more toxic acid that tore holes into several places big enough to cause severe damage to the area. He then looks over at Stormfront and said, "Let's see what you can do..."
Right after Novastorm gives Stormfront the indication for him to try, the youngster simply shrugs as a way to say alright and he then uses his staff and fires an intense lightning bolt into Acid Storm's cloud which still has a few droplets. The cloud's droplets became more toxic and damaging than before. He looks back at Acid Storm and Novastorm with a bewildered facial expression before looking at the metal before he flies back towards them.
Acid Storm watches as his two brothers perform their abilities. As he watches them, he begins to wonder a few things. After a bit, he turns to his two brothers and simply smiles. We can do tons of damage with these abilities, but in his mind, it was a double-edged sword. This got him thinking seriously.
Ramjet followed the trio along with Thundercracker from a distance and when he could see them land they went immediately into a demonstration of their abilities. This made Ramjet come in and land at a good distance away from the new seekers and watches them perform acts that would give anyone chills. As Ramjet watches them literally melt the very ground under their feet with acid rain and some other deadly compounds, he then looks at Thundercracker and saying, "...ahhh, are you seeing this? who are these guys?"
Thundercracker stays a good amount of distance away from the trio of new Seekers while watching their demonstration, which sends shivers down his spine and wings. He did not think that a Cybertronian could have those type of abilities. He then turns to Ramjet in order to reply to him.
"I am seeing this but I am not sure if I believe it. I am not sure where they came from...I truly hope that they do not use those abilities on us. I would hate to see the end result...imagine what their display of toxic chemicals could do to us."
Ramjet then replies back to what Thundercracker said as he watches the three new seekers and their display of abilities, which is making him very nervous. He then says,
"I call for an upgrade in armor...the heck if I want to have them mad at me !"
Thundercracker gives Ramjet a bewildered facial expression when the conehead seekers indicated that he wanted to put a request in for an armor upgrade. After some thought, he shakes his head from side to side.
"I am not sure if an armor upgrade would help us against them...I mean, you saw what they are capable of."
Meanwhile, Shockwave walks to Megatron's quarters, where he sees Megatron working on some things and he said, "Lord Megatron, the new seekers are ready for your inspection."
Back at the badlands, Stormfront looks over at Acid Storm who appears to be rather quiet and deep thought about something that he might not notice that we have company. However, his wings pick two presences. Briefly, he glances in the direction and sees two who appear to be Seekers, he then turns back to Acid Storm and Novastorm.
"Excuse me, I got some lurkers to chase."
Megatron turns and looks at Shockwave as he walks into his quarters and announced that the new seekers were ready for inspection and he got up and walked out of the room and as he did he said, "Then take me to them, I want to see them for myself."
Megatron then waits for him to lead the way along side of him to his lab so he could see the new seekers.
While waiting for some type of a response from Ramjet, Thundercracker could hear some noises in the Cybertronian air. He simply looks up to see one of them coming straight for them at a high speed and being rather angry.
"OOOOOOHHHHHHHH Shoot! I do not want to stay here and wait to see what he can do to us."
Thundercracker quickly transforms back into his Cybertronian jet mode. "I-I was just leaving... Ramjet, what about you?"
In relative quick fashion, he zooms back to Kaon.
Shockwave then lead the way back to his lab with Megatron next to him and as he got close he noticed it was silent. And as he rounded the corner to enter his lab, he could see that is partially destroyed. He almost thought it was them that done it but then I saw evidence of that annoying conehead's robosheep and he said in a low voice, "Dirge..."
"Where are they Shockwave...I do not have the patience for idol games here?" Megatron said with a bit of annoyance
"I do not know lord Megatron, but I can locate them through the data net..." Shockwave then said and went to the computers and pulled up their location beacons and found them outside of Kaon doing some practice runs with their abilities. Shockwave watches silently for a moment then said to Megatron, "That is them...Acid Storm, Novastorm, and Stormfront"
While in deep thought, Acid Storm could hear from Stormfront when he indicates that we have company. He glances in the two lurkers' direction just as Stormfront takes off at them. By watching this, the green seeker face-palms himself and shakes his head from side-to-side. After a bit, he takes his hand away from his face and look in Novastorm's direction. "Do not even think about getting involved with this, Novastorm. I am sure that he can take care of it himself."
After the lurkers were gone and Stormfront returns, Acid Storm looks at both of his brothers.
"I think it is time to head back to Kaon. Also I do not know what our two uninvited lurkers saw or found out but I feel that we need to be obscured and no revealing of how we got our abilities. I feel that being anonymous might be for the best. However, I do not know where Megatron and Shockwave would place us, which could make things very difficult of not fully revealing ourselves except for our names. As a group, I think that we need to come up with a name for ourselves..."
I pause a bit while thinking of a name.
"How about The Rainmakers, guys?"
Novastorn looks over at Acid and says, "Think about what? I don't care what Stormfront does...and so what if they saw us, maybe they will respect us more." He says as he watches Stormfront go greet the onlookers. He then hears Acid's concerns about being too open with our abilities and he replies,
"I don't care if they all know what we can do, as long as they stay out of my way then we will be fine...and as for the Rainmakers name, that sounds fine to me."
Acid Storm looks over at Novastorm with a look to indicate that he ought to lose the attitude soon. After a bit, he nods after both agreed to the name.
"Time to go back."
