One Week Later
He was the wind.
He was the air and the sky, the air that flowed across his sleek form as he soared through the air above Kaon.
Flying was one of the best gifts that Primus had graced to the Cybertronians, and he used it to it's full extent, whether or not it be flying, surprising an enemy or just generally hovering around, he was always home in the air.
As he ripped through the air, Thundercracker knew that he was supposed to be only patrolling the air above Kaon, along with several other seekers, however he had broken off from them as were per orders to cover more ground.
It was something that scouts like Barricade did and his cronies, or the combaticons, well Seekers were above them all, at least that was what Thundercracker had been told most of his life during training. Now however he was acting like a common scout.
He sneered to himself as he roared across the sky and did a barrel roll or two. To Thundercracker, he pitied everyone who couldn't fly, and he also would look down upon them as well.
Flying was a gift, one that the couldn't understand how bots could live without.
As he soared across into the badlands, he scanned a bit and then noticed something, what appeared to be a vehicle was making it's way along the canyon, it was unidentified to him and his scanners.
This rang clear to Thundercracker, an Autobot had made its way into the Badlands.
He swooped in low to get a closer look, his engines gunning it, he then found himself soaring through a sudden small rust storm that was blowing through. The cloud of rust prevented him from positively, however it picked up speed as it drove along, Thundercracker let out a shout.
"Hey, you there I need to see some I.D, who the frag are you!?"
The vehicle didn't respond just kept on driving.
Thundercracker noticed that it was driving on a small rim, And he began to shoot at a part just head causing several explosions and some chunks of metal to collapse. Thundercracker then flew ahead and Transformed, his matching Starscream's except he was predominantly blue in color.
He landed on his feet and aimed his blasters toward the vehicle, which he heard the sound of Transforming.
He watched as a figure began to approach him, and he heard a shout.
"Thundercracker the frag is your problem!?"
Thundercrackers optics went wide as he saw Counterpunch glaring toward him, her arms covering his face as she glowered toward him.
"Counterpunch? what the slag, I was ready to blast you into oblivion!"
The wind blew and Thundercracker could've sworn he heard a noise akin to fast driving. But he brushed it off and kept glaring toward the fem.
"Well TC, maybe you should get your sensory array's fine tuned!" She spat toward him in anger. "Every nanoclick I waste chatting up with you an Autobot could be sneaking in here!"
Thundercracker let out a huff and sneered once again.
"Maybe you should take better care fem, to watch for Rust storms when you're driving around scouting, I almost thought you were an Autobot!, next time try to make yourself look Identifiable!"
Counterpunch shifted her optics a little bit, something that Thundercracker caught, but he didn't have long to ponder as she spoke up.
"Well maybe you need better scanners big guy, either way you just destroyed my path." She said, motioning toward blasted and charred bits of the roadway before her.
Thundercracker turned around and looked, then turned back toward Counterpunch and shrugged his arms.
"Not my problem."
Counterpunch rolled her optics and grunted. "Teach, typical seeker, think that you're so high and mighty, better than everybot just because you can fly."
"Flight is one of Primus's greatest gifts to the universe! A gift that you would never be able to understand given your...lack of wings."
"If it spawns egotistical aft holes such as yourself you can fragging keep your powers of flight top yourself, now I have to trek my way off this cliff and you are wasting my valuable time as well as your own!"
Thundercracker stepped forward but Counterpunch ducked down low and kicked out his heels from under his legs, Thundercracker fell with a yelp as Counterpunch quickly transformed and drove back, before launching herself toward the seeker and crashing into him.
Thundercracker cried out as Counterpunch flew through the air and Transformed landing on the other side of the damaged bit of ridge that he had destroyed.
"Thanks for the bost Major Ego!" She called over her shoulder before Transforming and driving away.
Thundercracker scowled as he got to his feet. he felt an incredible urge to blast off after that femme and give her what for.
But before he could, he heard the sound of jet's whirring down and he looked to see a Streak of white fly overhead, and his comlink pinged.
"Thundercracker, get your aft back in the sky now! " Starscream barked. "You're wasting valuable time here and Lord Megatron will have your spark if you don't get back on patrol!"
Thundercracker looked back up toward the sky, with Starscream flying overhead, and then he looked back in the direction of where Counterpunch had driven off.
With a resigned sigh and a scowl, Thundercracker transformed and soared right back into the sky, the rust storm quickly enveloping him.
A little ways away Counterpunch came roaring up to a stop next to a large dump truck.
"Okay you guys need to tell Jazz to have supplies delivered closer to the base!" ." She said, transforming into hr Autobot Punch robot mode.
"Yeah Yeah i know, but honestly it's the only place we've got where the cons most won't likely see it!"
Punch scowled a little bit and then sighed apprehensively. "I appreciate what you're doing Landfill, we all do, but can you just please try to work out a way that you guys won't get discovered?"
Landfill paused and then spoke once more. "I'll talk to Scoop and Quickmix, then get their opinion."
A small smile appeared on Punch's faceplates. "Thanks Landfill, keep up the good work, and I'll talk to you later." She said and then transformed back into her blue speeder Alt mode and then raced away.
Landfill watched her go with a bit of a sigh in his spark, he then began to move away once more as the rust storm came over once again. Hopefully this time I would do a little bit more to obscure him from sight, as he made the drive back toward the base.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
If there was one thing that Megatron had to admit, it was that Shockwave was a genius, and an efficient one at that.
As he stood inside a viewing center as the Constructicon drones worked their toil, building, up Shockwave's Regenesis Missiles.
"Pleased Lord Megatron?" Shockwave asked, appearing behind him. "Project Regenesis is moving on schedule and maybe even a few clicks ahead."
"I'm impressed Shockwave." Megatron commented turning toward him. "Your mastery at the Constructicons functions has yet to cease to amaze me, working like a well oiled machine."
He turned back out the window, and Shockwave strode over.
"As is their function my liege, they are designed to obey orders and to never question."
Megatron sneered. "I wish all of my troops were built like this Shockwave, except of course for you and Soundwave."
Shockwave tapped his finger to his chin once. "Perhaps my liege I can make some fine adjustments to their programming, and then design to to be used in regular Decepticons, or at the very least weaponized."
Megatron turned toward him surprised. "A Single minded Cybertron?"
"Controlled by one mind my liege, with no one to oppose, all of Cybertron would be under its ruler, no resistance, total obedience."
Megatron turned a weary optic toward Shockwave and gave off a bit of a scowl.
Shockwave noticed this. "Is something the matter my liege?" He asked, knowing full well that Megatron was suspicious of him. However the the Decepticon leader just waved his servo toward him.
"It's Fine Shockwave, however, if I come to find out about you experimenting with this mind control idea without my authorization-"
Shockwave snapped his arm up in a salute. "Do not worry Lord Megatron, I would never dream of going against you or your plans."
A sneer appeared on Megatron's face, as he turned and began to walk away, before pausing. "Continue your project Shockwave, and inform me when it is completed." He said. Megatron began walking out of the building but then he turned around.
"Which reminds me Shockwave, may I ask about the whereabouts of Blackout?"
The scientist stared at Megatron for a long moment before speaking. "he is in my lab-"
"Is his programming fixed?"
Shockwave starred as Megatron turned around, crossing his servo's as he glared toward him.
"Yes my liege but I would like to run some tests to make sure that he is up to my-
Before he could react, Megatron was on him, slamming his body into the window, before throwing him into a wall.
Shockwave stammered as he got to his feet, stunned as Megatron rammed him into the wall once more. There was no need for Megatron to explain what he was doing, what SHockwave has said had solidified Megatron's suspicions about Shockwave's mind control technology.
As Shockwave fell to the ground, he looked up toward Megatron, who was now pointing his fusion cannon at him.
"I am going to tell you this one time Shockwave, it is not to your specifications that you work for, it's my specifications."
Megatron then delivered a Shattering Kick into Shockwave's chin, throwing his head back into the wall, as Megatron thrust an army down and held his head there.
"So answer me again, is Blackout ready to my specifications?" He said, seething anger through his teeth.
Shockwave shook in rage a bit as Megatron pressed his head against the wall, and he could feel some of his neck joints straining and his circuitry was beginning to strain as Megatron slammed a foot into his chest. With the apparent intent to shear off Shockwave's head.
"He is 100% operational for you you liege." Shockwave gasped out in a strained choked sounding voice. megatron smirked to the side and let go of his head. allowing Shockwave to place his head back down, megatron delivered a powerful punch into Shockwave's chestplate.
"I want Blackout out and patrolling the edge of the Badlands within a megacycle or else I will assign Flatline to this project and terminate you." he said growling. before turning and storming out of the building.
Shockwave watched him go, glaring the entire time, he got to his feet, and braced himself against the wall.
His chest flenched as he stared out the door way where Megatron had walked out of. His lone optic shined brightly with hatred.
"In the grand scheme of things Lord Megatron, I serve logic." Shockwave said with a glare, before he turned toward the Constructions and their work.
Shockwave grumbled a bit, as he tapped the side of his helm.
"Scrapper Units 26 and 18, please report to my lab and release Blackout from his restraints and Reactivate him, immediately."
Shockwave turned his head and saw the two drones deactivate their inner work tools and began to leave the worksite.
Obedient, loyal and unquestioning, everything one could want in a soldier, worker or anything else, and Shockwave had the means to make it a reality
If only he didn't have a stumbling block in his way.
However for him,stumbling blocks were things that could be very easily removed. Megatron was never going to get anywhere in this war, not with the plans that he had, his ambition was Cybertron, but he had no plans for what would happen afterwards.
Plans that SHockwave had in place already, and all he needed to do, was wait for the pieces to fall into place and his plan to begin unfolding.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
3 Megacycles later*
Scoop's gears groaned under the weight of the ground he had in his bucket, the digging was getting harder each time they get near Kaon, though that was normally expected, after all digging around the buildings/under them and keeping them stable was never an easy task.
"Gah, Quickmix where the frag are you!?" Scoop called out.
Quickmiz quickly drove over in his vehicle mode, and Transformed, as he began blasting the walls, melting them so scoop could move, then he Grabbed several rods and jammed them into the liquidized metal.
The Metal quickly cooled and was soon stabilized as Scoop Transformed into Robot mode.
"Thanks for that." Scoop said, calming a hand down onto Quickmix's shoulder, only to find it brushed away.
"Don't mention it Scoopy, we're a team, brothers almost." He said with a chuckle. 'Still though I've almost had it with all this digging."
Scoop stretched out, letting his joints creak.. "Tell me about it, soon as we're done here I'm thinking of going on leave for a bit."
Quickmix laughed. 'Gonna spend time passed out on the floor of Mcadams, and then the brig as soon as prowl finds ya?"
"Nah, I've done that a few too many times to count, I am thinking of going and seeing the sights, I mean not every last bit of Cybertron has been ravaged right?"
Quickmix shrugged. "We never do hear much from Cybertron's souther belt do we, granted how many bots have seen it?"
Scoop shrugged, "Not any of the bots that we hand out with, I think Jazz might've maybe we'll ask him when we next get supplies."
Before they could continue their conversation, they heard a voice cry out,
"Did you guys hear that too or was it just me?"
Both Autobots jumped a bit as they heard the sound of footsteps right over their heads.
"I swear the primus I just heard a voice talking."
"Oh come off it Breakdown, you're probably just hearing things again, you're so big, I wouldn't be surprised if you're just hearing someone talking on another floor from one of the buildings."
"Of come off it Dragstrip, I don't even know why Motormaster let you be part of the team!"
"I could ask the same question about you Knock Out, all you ever care about is your paintjob, instead of fixing us up!"
Scoop looked toward the ceiling and looked fearfully toward Quickmix."Stunticons." he whimpered and Quickmix gave a quick nod. 'We must have dug into Kaon's center."
"Already, we're ahead of Schedule!"
"SSSH!"
"Did you hear that?"
"Breakdown no one is hearing anything besides you and your paranoid delusions!" They heard Wildrider snap.
"I am not being paranoid, I can hear voices coming from under our servos!"
They heard a pause and then they heard Dragstrip Talking once again.
"So you think that someone has dug under Kaon!?, who the frag would be boneheaded enough to do that?"
"Well you never can it it past the Autobots to do something." Knock Out said.
"Right, like the AUtobots just dug their way Under Kaon."
They ahrd Dragstrip walking away as They heard Breakdown say to Knock Out. "You believe me don't you Knock Out?"
"Breakdown I know you better than anybody else, and trust me I know that your audios are a lot sharper than anybot else, but let's face facts, all your probably heard was something from another building nearby."
They heard Breakdown sigh in defeat. "You're right, Guess I'm just jumping at Shadows again."
"There, there Breakdown, we're at war, nothing to be upset about being a little bit conscious of your surroundings."
They heard their voices fade, and waited a little bit before speaking again. Scoop whirled around.
"Our plans are off, we've dug too far to the surface, if we don't dig deeper soon we'll have all of Kaon altered to us!"
Quickmix scoffed. "And what do you propose that we do huh!?"
Scoop looked around and then turned around. "I say that we dig another tunnel that leads a bit deeper but we lead from another point in the tunnel."
"O sure Scoop, and then what leave this part abandoned, go behind schedule, we do that and the cons could easily launch their plan on us right now."
Scoop turned back down the tunnel and then looked up again and a grin appeared on his face., "Then, suppose that we do a little renovation with this tunnel that we have then."
Quickmix gave him a look, as Suddenly Scoop fired three shots into the walls, with blinking red lights.
"When Landfill gets back, tell him to dig here, here and here."
Scoop then Transformed and rammed his shovel into one of his markers and lifted up his shovel.
"The frag are you doing?" Quickmix asked as Scoop dug a bit deeper.
"Coming up with a new plan, we go down a bit to get to the center," he said as he began firing into the ground to blast away at it.
",however, Suppose that we use this to our advantage, being so close to the surface, and detonate bombs under Kaon when we strike!"
Quickmix starred and watched as Scoop worked for a few cycles until he said, "So these tunnels will lead to nowhere?"
"Exactly."
"Good plan, except right now," Quickmix said pulling out a holographic map of the Kaon Mines, as he used to do some work in them so he had scans of their layout. 'Suppose that we dig to the mines which run all throughout the city and lines those with explosives as well, when we riad Kaon we detonate the bombs after we being to attack, so the cons will be too focused on the City becoming rubble to notice us, and even if they do, they will have to do some work just to fire upon us!"
"Brilliant!" Scoop said enthusiastically. "Which way to the mines?" .
Quickmix checked his map. "Just keep digging it's not that far and the entrance is closed off so you won't be noticed, just keep it down, and I'll give Jazz our plan."
Scoop began tunneling as Quickmix ran back down the tunnelway toward the Autobots base, as he did he saw landfill driving past,.
"Hey Quickmix where's the fire?"
"Slight change of ideas Landfill just get down there and help Scoop dig okay?"
"Okay Quickmix, if you say so."
Quickmix continued running, he heard cons moving aboveground but all he needed to do was get back to Jazz, he Transformed quickly and continued his race.
Eventually, he reached the tunnel exit and Transformed, jumping into the air and landing on his feet.
'Nice entrance." Override quipped with a chuckle.
"No time I need to see Jazz." Quickimix said rapidly as the others looked at him.
:Umm what for?" Ore asked as He looked over from his card game with Shock and Dogfight.
"Me and the others have just had a brilliant idea., and I need to tell Jazz."
Jazz walked in from the makeshift Rec Room, along with Bluestreak. "Chill man, whatcha wanna tell me."
"Probably that they ended up drilling all the way to the bottom of Cybertron, they really must have wanted to see the planets southern belt." Bluestreak joked.
Quickmix shook his head rapidly. "Jazz, we didn't end up at Cybertron's bottom we ended up under new Kaon."
Jazz grinned. "Well then that's good news then."
"Energon all around!" Bluestreak called out, right as a chunk of metal hit him. "Geez have a sense of humor."
Jazz clamped a hand on his shoulder. "Energon rationing is not a thing to joke about son, remember that." he turned back toward Quickmix.
"So I hope that the cons didn't find you."
'They almost did but Scoop had a brilliant idea, that I supplemented with this one, we're gonna dig extra tunnels and blow up Kaon!"
QUickmix paused as everybot in the room stared at him with shock. jazz was the first to speak up.
"What?"
"Sorry did I stutter, I said when we raid Shockwave's little Energon thing, we're gonna dig extra Tunnels leading to the mines, line them with explosives, and then BOOM!," he shouted, slamming his servos together. 'Kaon goes up in a ball of fire and smoke while we raid the tower, the cons won't know what hit them!"
Now he was being stared at with mouths agape. "Tough crowd." he said with a shrug.
Bluestreak then grinned. "So you're saying fill up mines with explosives along with the tunnels that you guys have dug leading to them, and then we awe attack send the cons hometown to kingdom come so we can do our raid?"
"YES someone actually gets it!"
Jazz then let out a laugh, and then slapped his hand onto Quickmix. "I don't know what's Crazier, the Plan or the fact that it just might work!, even if we can't stop Shockwave we can still tell the cons that the Autobots won't roll over and die!"
"Maybe we can somehow get Punch to have Megatron stand atop the explosives when they go off!" Dogfight said, and the base erupted in laughter.
Jazz looked at Quickmix and gawked. 'Well don't just stand there with your piston in your servo Quickmix, if ya wanna see Con central go up ya best get digging!"
Quickmix grinned, and then turned his head. "Shock,Ore, you guys wanna help out!?"
The duobots turned and looked at each other.
"Umm depending." Shock said.
"I'll let ya both decide how big of a boom Kaon should make.."
Both Duobots cheered and charged from the table, leaving stunned Dogfight with the Energon goodies...that he quickly scooped up and chuckled. "Win by default."
The Three Autobots Quickly Transformed and raced into the tunnel all of them giving battle cries.
leaving the rest staring after them as jazz chuckled.. "They got spirit alright."
"Spirit that if not contained will get them killed if not controlled." Override commented.
"Jazz laughed once more. 'Honestly, I think that the cons have more to worry about then we do., I need to go tell prime of this new addition to our plans."
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Several Solar Cycles Later
Iacon.
Prowl stood in front of doorway of a room filled with Autobots, handpicked to help out with this mission. They had been picked due to skill level and their abilities.
Despite the importance of the mission, prowl knew that sometimes what counted most was not their personalities but they could do.
He looked up as he saw Bumblebee leaning against the wall. Chosen because of his Ability to produce electricity and shoot it out through a pair of arm mounted "Stingers."
Bee turned and gave him a scowl as Prowl walked in. Prowl looked down at his datapad to avoid his gaze.
Prowl checked the Data pad once again and peered upward as he saw an Orange Fem with cream, and Red highlights talking with a Pink fem with bits of white in certain places.
Arcee had been chosen due to her skills as a scout and her ability to sue a bow.
Sari, the Orange colored Fem, was chosen because of her agility and her weaponry.
Both of them looked toward Prowl, Arcee gave a salute and Sari gave off a friendly wave, Prolw gave a nod as Arcee shot a look toward Sari who giggled however she did end up shooting Prowl a dirty look.
Prowl sighed he already guessed that Sari was doing that. As he continued to walk, he saw Autobots Whirl, Roadbuster, and Springer, all checking over their weapons, chosen to be the Team's heavy muscle for this journey, next to them Mindset, An Autobot who could only be described as a walking artillery platform with anger issues. Brought along for heavy fire.
And finally there was Hound. Brought along for his tracking skills and holograms.
As always prowl had made sure to check on them, as they had been given temporary Quarters for the mission, and he was in their req room, he always checked them all over due to the simple fact that the Decepticons could be finished any cycle now.
They needed to be ready for anything.
What they were not ready for however was what happened next, as Prowl made his way back out the door, he didn't notice a thin string that had appeared there, which Prowl stepped on.
The tactician looked down, and then up as a bunch of wax and glass splashed into him.
Everyone looked toward prowl gape, except in Bumblebee's case, he was wearing a smirk upon his face plates.
Prowl then saw the heads of a few other Autobots bots peering around a corner, and they took off in a flash.
Prowl groaned in agner as Mindset strode over to him. 'I think that was meant for me Prowl, thanks for taking the hit!"
The others in the room laughed as prowl growled. As he did however, another bot ran up to him, Cliffjumper looked alot like BUmblebee, being of the same Frame and mold, however Cliffjumper was loud and talkative and willing to charge into battle at a moments notice.
'Prowl!" Cliffjumper yelled as he ran up to him paused. 'Nice wax, anyway we just got a hit from Counterpunch, Megatron just called all the cons back into Kaon, something about an important event in their history."
Prowl's rage vanished in an instant and he whipped his head around.
He found the bots inside the room, some giggling as he stared at them. he pointed and said only two words. 'Move the frag out." he said and stormed off.
The bots in the room stared at each other as Cliffjumper poked his head in.
'Guys it means time to get to your mission."
Everyone looked at Cliffjumper at that one, as they did Whirl suddenly shot up and raised two guns into the air.
'Alright time to show those fraggers what we're made of!" he shouted and then fired off a few rounds into the ceiling.
Springer, Roadbuster and Mindset looked at each other and then all let out a battle cry and they and Whirl all rached out the door, nearly knocking over poor Cliffjumper.
As they raced away Sari and Arcee began moving as well.
"I hate to say it, but I'm not looking forward to this." Sari said.
Arcee looked at her. 'Because we're planning on flying into enemy territory?"
"No, we have Whirl on board with us, we're doomed."
She saw Bee smirk and Sari's face brightened up a bit at the sight and the tapped Arcee's shoulder, but by the time Arcee turned Bee's smirk had faded back into a frown.. Sari let out a sigh as she and Arcee walked to their quarters to get their weapons as Bumblebee walked past Cliffjumper.
'hey Bee.' Cliffjumper said with a concerned look. 'You going to be okay?"
Bumblebee stared at him coldly for a few seconds before nodding and walking away, as he did, Cliffjumper growled a bit.
"I frigging hate Prowl." he muttered before walking away as he did Hound also walked out,and he made his way down the hallways and through the corridors. Unlike the others who were going off to get things ready, or in the case of Whirl go off and try to see if anybot wants to place bets on how many cons he can kill, Hound was going to ironhides room.
As he came to the doorway, he gave out a couple of light taps, followed by three sharp raps, and then one heavy knock.
The door slid open as Ironhide stood at the other end, a downcast look on his face.
"Time for my mission Hide,." Hound said with a look of awkwardness.
Ironhide nodded. and placed a servo on the smaller Autobots shoulder. 'Do your duty soldier." He said with a blank expression. "Make your creators proud."
Hound smirked a bit, and patted the old warrior on the side. "I'll see you when I get back." he said solemnly and ironhide grunted as he looked to the side.
He looked back at Hound and for a second Hound saw a twinkle in his optics.
"Make sure to blast ol Screamer in the head for me once."
Hound grinned a bit. "I'll try if I see, maybe even deck him in the face a few times."
Ironhide chuckled a little as he stepped back and gave Hound a Salute that Hound returned as the door closed.
Hound stood there for a few seconds, before turning and walking away as he did on the other side Ironhide placed a servo on the door and sighed a bit.
"Come back safe." he said as he looked down, and sighed as he sat back on his berth. ANd he sighed,placing his head into his servos.
"You're the only one I have now.." He said softly.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It wasn't long, before the team was assembled on the base's top deck, all Autobots had been armed, ready and prepared for whatever the cons could/would throw at them.
As they stood outside by jazz's ship Sari turned to Bee.
'So Bumblebee. are you ready to kick some con aft or what?" She asked excitedly, only for Bee to scowl, \Sari backed up a bit and frowned. "Come on Bee, we're about to take part in a mission that could change the war, lighten up...though not as much as the Wreckers.."
"I haven't been excited for the war since Darkmount Sari, the only reason I am here is so Prowl can see the job finished!" He sapt before going silent once more.
Sari blinked, and a frown appeared on her face, as a sneer crossed Bees. A sure sign from him that he wanted to be alone, she sighed and turned away,
As she did, she saw Prowl driving up with Optimus and she snapped to attention, seeing this the Other Autobots Looked up and followed suit.
Optimus pulled up, and then Transformed from his Cybertronian alot mode, as did Prowl, still a bit shiney from the twins prank.
As they got to the Assembled Team, Optimus looked out toward them. Some looking toward him with faces full of energy, others like Bumblebee were scowling s bit, and some couldn't even have read expressions.
Optimus looked toward Prowl, who looked back and slightly pushed him forward a bit and Optimus rolled his optics and hated making speeches.
He stood in front of his crack team and he sighed.
"Autobots, today we stand on the threshold of a major assault on the Decepticon Capitol City Kaon, this mission of of the utmost importance. for Shockwave And Megatron, are planning the genocide of a planet!, as Autobots we cannot stand by and let others die for our mistakes, we follow the oath of the Original Primes all life is precious!, We either stop the Decepticons here or our war will consume the Universe and there will be no peace only cruel rule under the vicious reign of Megatron! This menace must be stopped or else the Decepticons will gain enough Energon to take our world!"
Optimus stood tall as he game the speech to his troops, and most were just staring at him, and Bee had an eyebrow raised. Optimus felt the need to continue, but he realized that he had probably gotten his point across.
"Umm, does anybot have any questions?"
At first no one answered and then Bee's Hand shot into the air. Prowl looked up. "yes Bumblebee?"
Bumblebee scowled, "Sorry, I wasn't aware you were answering the question."he snapped and lowered it back down."
Optimus sighed as Roadbuster stepped forward. "I got a question for ya Prime, is this going to be a frontal assault?"
optimus shook his head. "No, We will attack from Underground."
The Autobots began to look toward each other, now with some confused then Cliffjumper turned his head toward the Prime.
"So we're going to be traipsing through Kaon's sewers?"
Sari and Arcee both cringed. "Gross!, Con waste!" Sari muttered. Whirl looked back toward her. "Based on that point being a Wrecker isn't probably a good career for you."
Sari placed her hands on her hips. "Like I wanted to become like one of you gun toting Crazy's anyway."
At this Whirl's optics lit up. "Gun toting CRAZIES!?" he shouted and began storming toward her, "Hey, thanks for the compliment." Whirl said, much to Sari's anger.
Prowl, suddenly walked past Optimus and yelled out. "Alright!, that's enough quarreling, I want everybot on the ship now, or else it's the brig for you all and Energon rations will be limited by 50% is that clear!?"
The entire group of Autobots went silent and began to file into Jazz's ship that was parked nearby, as they did, Jazz came over, arms crossed.
Optimus looked toward his chief of staff, "Prowl, that wasn't exactly the nicest way to get them on the ship."
"I agree with Prime here Prowl, you could be a little less Harsh on everyone that isn't a Cyber ninja ya know." Jazz spoke up, as he wheeled himself next to Optimus. Prowl's visior narrowed and he placed a finger on Primes chestplate.
"The only way to get things done is to be a bit assertive and yeah Sometimes you have to get a little bit harsh, do you think that Sentinel got as far as he did by trying to play it soft?"
Optimus's Optics now were narrowed. "Sentinels way of thinking got him far yes, but he decided that brute strength would win him a fight over trying to play against Megatron's weaknesses., and that is what got him killed!"
"What weaknesses prime? If anybot I know has none it's Megatron, and seeing as how you've given the cons an upper edge in this war, I'd say that we'll be looking for a new Prime if this mission fails, you need to be more assertive in your actions, because if you don't then I will!" He snapped with a scowl before turning and walking off.
Jazz sneered after him and then placed a servo on Optimus's shoulder. A sigh escaped the primes frame.
"Jazz, do you think I need to be a bit more assertive in my actions?" He asked turning his head toward his friend. He saw a shrug on Jazz's shoulders.
"I wouldn't know that Prime, I'm not you sadly, but hey cheer up, even if something does go wrong,I can just have the boys detonate the charges and send Kaon sky high! Megatron will never know what hit him!"
Optimus shook his head a bit. "Don't get your hopes too high Jazz, the Decepticons are a sneaky lot."
Jazz grinned and pointed toward Prime. "Don't count us out yet prime, some things may just surprise you." He said as the two began making their way toward the ship.
"I know alot about Surprises Jazz, did I tell you what we found inside one of the waste managements a few deca cycles ago?"
The Two began chatting just like old times as they approached the ship, however in the front of their minds they kept the Mission but in the back of Primes mind, Prowl's words still rang clearly.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Shockwave's tower.
Shockwave stood in front of his computer, checking the readout on the screen, the launch was nearly just 20 cycles away, but he had another matter he was focused on.
On the screen, it showed a series of tunnels, dug all the way toward the badlands, and connecting to all the mines that ran under the city.
But the scanners also picked up something else, explosive devices,enough to level half the city and more.
If Megatron could see this he would have made every Decepticon rush into the tunnels to find and destroy the Autobots, a foolish gesture given that three were down there and would hit the detonators they very minute they saw the Decepticons coming for them.
But where Megatron saw a threat, Shockwave saw opportunity. He reached for his transmitter and turned it on.
"Lord Megatron, there appears to be a computer error with the missiles, I need to fix it before we can begin launch."
"Glitch: how major?"
Shockwave wasn't surprised to find Soundwave on the other end of the line, often Megatron would switch com signals to Soundwave if he didn't feel like answering them. No doubt trying to ready a speech to rally his forces when the missiles launched.
"One that won't delays us for too long Soundwave, tell Lord Megatron that the launch will be postponed for around another 35-40 cycles."
"Missiles: Can be launched iof Glitch is there?"
"I'm afraid not Soundwave, if it is there they may end up on the wrong planet and that would be a waste of Energon, it is the target coordinates after all."
"Acknowledged." Were the last words that Shockwave got him Soundwave Before the line went dead.
Shockwave leaned back, and began to run another scan, the pieces were falling into place, and with the intervention of the Autobots, things could move a lot quicker.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Things are about the heat up on CYbertron, and the Battle of kaon begins next chapter!
