A/N: I own nothing
4.
Rad loved speed. If anyone ever asked about him, that would be one of the sure fire answers they would get. To him, speed was one thing he was sure a hunter needed: speed, agility, and a pretty damn good aim. So as he was sitting on the backseat of Sureshock with Alexis driving( The blue and gray robot had told him their names.) going at an incredible speed, all he could do was glare at Highwire continously, who was with Carlos on Grindor.
"You sure you don't want to see what I transform into?" Highwire beeped, but Rad's glare answered for him.
They were just crossing a dessert when a rumbling came from behind them and they looked back to see a purple and green tank. Infront of them appeared a green and red tank, on their left was a red and white sonic fighter jet, and their right was a pale blue military helicopter.
"Aw man, we're boxed in!" Carlos yelled.
Rad knew he couldn't risk using his real bow, but he could use a substitute. "Highwire!" The mini robot looked at him rather hopefully. "Transform!" he shouted and held out his arm.
Highwire transformed into a blue and gray futuristic looking bow that was half of Rad's height. "I shoot energy arrows so you don't have to waste any of yours."
"How considerate." Rad murmured as he pulled back the strangely flexible metal that made the string. As he pulled the string back, a crackling white energy arrow appeared. "Sureshock, Grindor, on my signal!" he heard both mini robots beep in confimation. Rad suddenly took aim at the rotor base of the helicopter. The 'copter reeled back at the hit. "Hard right!" he ordered and both Sureshock, and Grindor turned, making an escape from the Decepticons.
"That little glitch!" The 'copter yelled as he went down.
"That was amazing!" Both younger teens chorused, seemingly over looking the fact that Rad called the mini robots by their names.
"We aren't out of the woods yet." Rad said seeing that the other three Decpeticons we're still after them.
"Think you can get another lucky shot?" Carlos asked the blonde.
Rad bristled at the 'lucky shot,' but nodded. "I think I can." he said and pulled the string back again, though this time three enegy arrows appeared. He fired each one, one at a time and they hit each vehicle on it's front.
The green and purple tank roared angrily as he was hit. "Take down the yellow one first!"
"That doesn't sound good." Alexis said as she glanced back at Rad worriedly, who had a calculating look on his face.
Rad looked over at Carlos and Grindor. "Come here." The skateboard moved over to Rad until they were right beside him. Before Carlos could ask what Rad was doing, the blonde jumped onto Grindor and threw the dark-haired boy onto the back seat of Sureshock.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Carlos asked once he got his breath.
"I'll distract them." Rad replied and made three more energy arrows appear. "Sureshock, get them out of here!"
The orange moped beeped. "Good luck, Highwire, Grindor, Yellow One," and sped up with the two younger teens hanging on for dear life.
"Lets go Grindor." Rad said and fired an energy arrow to get the Decepticons attention off the two younger teens and the orange moped. "Why settle for just one 'bot? I've got two!" he yelled.
"What are you doing?" Both mini robots beeped incredulously.
"Baiting them to draw their attention from them to us." Rad whispered.
The three Decepticons paused and had an air of disbelief. "One puny human against a Decepticons? Too easy." The green and red tank declared and transformed.
Rad looked up at him unconcerned. "Too easy huh?" he muttered and pulled out a completely bronze arrow and aimed it straight at the Decepticons chest. "I always wanted to know how much damage a celestial bronze weapon could cause an alien."
The tankformer smirked and powered his canon, the other two Decepticons, plus three if you count the groaning pale blue helicopter, were watching the little stand off with something akin to annoyed amusement. The both fired and the arrow cut through the canon fire, dissipating it, and the tankformer only managed to move before the arrow shot through his shoulder.
"That's what you get for underestimating me, Demmy!" Rad felt as shocked as the green and red robot looked. 'Where did that come from?' he shook himself of the thought for now; he'd think it over later. Right now he needed to lead them away. "Lets go Grindor."
"Right." Grindor beeped and began speeding away.
Rad looked back at the Decepticons, his silver flecked yellow eyes sparked challengingly. "Catch me if you can!"
