Alpha glanced around as she bounced over the road in truck mode. She bit her lip and then glanced around.
Bluestatic looked up. He couldn't see the flier but he knew he was there. Now all he had to wait for was for Jazz to give the word.
DarkClaw looked startled.
"You wouldn't." he replied trying to put as much confidence in it as he could.
"Watch me." came the reply
"But it could be intercepted!" DarkClaw tried.
"So?"
At this, DarkClaw knew that the situation was not good.
The invisible Autobot seeker did a quick backflip, trying to make himself feel better.
Alpha glanced at the mech. "What's wrong?" She asked softly.
"...nothing."
Omega was worried slightly about the humans. But he didn't have to tell his sister, she allready knew it, probably. and was worried just as much as he was.
Alpha sighed and continued to bounce along.
Shadow's tail flicked as she paced around her room she knew she had to get a message through; but then again who should she contact that wouldn't put the humans in danger?
The irritable dragon was not in a good mood at all; right now she wanted to smack something. Sadly there wasn't anything she could hit.
Alpha's audio twitched and she heard a conversation. The femme managed to wiggle her mind into one of the 'Con's, DarkClaw, she believed, and listen.
DarkClaw hissed "Look, if you tell them it's a trap, then static's even more likely to get hurt." he tried to reason.
"Uh huh, yeah. And I can tell them that he's who you're aiming for...so if ya don't mind, I'd rather you stayed out of my head! Besides how the hell did you get in here anyhow?"
DarkClaw caught himself before he said something dumb.
"I thought you let us."
Shadow scoffed "Now why'd I want to do that?"
"You have a point...meh I haven't a clue. Maybe Pathfinder's trying to tell you something." he suggested.
"...don't be dumb. And don't give me all that nonsense again." Shadow sounded irriated.
"What, the fact that were complete when you're with us; hmph hardly nonsense." Windwhisper put in.
"What he said!" a chorus of voices came.
"All of you shove off! If you want me so bad you should either defect or try and catch me...too bad you can't just replace me; I'd love that!" Shadow snarled back.
"No. You wouldn't you want us as much as we want you." Windwhisper stated.
"Hopefully not for much longer." was Shadow's cryptic reply.
Alpha paused at the converstation. She debated telling her friends and decided to do so. The femme commed the leader of the distraction party and told them the entire converstation.
Prime listened to the silent comm Alpha sent him, all the while keeping an eye on Megatron.
Now he had an even more important desicion to make.
He silently commed "Bluestatic, get out of there. return to base. It is a trap."
Omega flew above them and blinked. "Wha?"
"Don't ask, bro." was Alpha's reply.
The rescue group crept into the darkened building, hearing the humans at the back of the large room, which was towards the front of the building. Bluestatic stopped, and his optics widened. "what is it?" Jade asked.
Bluestatic nodded once, optics growing wide as much as he was loathe to go that fact that Prime knew must have had something to do with Shadow, and he was eager to get back to his sister. Turing to the others, his optics wide, he whispered "It's a trap!"
Omega blinked. He nodded and looked up ahead.
It was at this moment that Beedrill realised their plan was failing with an irritable buzz she launched herself from the rafters and grabbed hold of the engineer.
The other Rangers appeared from the shadows at the back of the room. Jade gulped and glanced back at the way they had came, which was now blocked by one of the leader of the Rangers. a laser blast whizzed past her shoulder.
DarkClaw's massive frame barred the door. As he aimed his gunblade at the autobots "You're not going anywhere" he stated nodding to Sky.
Opening his transmission the pheonix radioed Megatron "Sir we have them; though Shadow is absent; sir."
Saber and Windwhisper flanked Darkclaw, the tigeress and wolf aimed their weapons at the group of Autobots, ready to fire. Beedrill held on to Bluestatic a gun to his head as she hovered.
Back at the ark Shadow snarled.
"Beedrill put him down." she told them sounding almost desparate.
"Don't be dumb; if I were you I'd hurry up and get here as fast as I could."
With a growl Shadow instead engaged her com. Right now she could wait a little longer but if they so much as hurt her brother...
"Sir, they have Bluestatic. Please I have to help." She radioed Prime on a secure frequency. Her wings fanned out slightly, a touch of pain evident in her voice.
Alpha bit her lip again, suddenly nervous.
Prime paused a half a moment, then said "I'll send reinforcements to help the others." he radioed a couple more Autobots to go around to the back of the building.
"Okay sir." Shadow didn't sound too happy that Optimus hadn't agreed to her request. Then again it might not have been a smart thing anyhow.
"You better not fraggin well hurt him 'drill or there will be nothing I wont do to you as payback!"
"Ooooh i so scared; not." The bee replied as she buzzed just above the ground holding the stuggling engineer.
Bluestatic had contined to struggle the whole time. He wanted to shock the bee, but he didn't know how it would effect the others in the room; especially jade since she was still in human form.
Jade went from human to cybetronian in a blue flash, and reached for her pistols. Meanwhile, outside, the Constructicons were close by, in case Megatron needed backup.
Beedrill buzzed a little higher in surprise as Jade changed she wasn't expecting that! The engineer in her grasp struggled a little more violently.
Seeing Jade was safe now Bluestatic cried out "Hit the deck!" before throwing caution to the wind and using his electical attack. Channelling it directly through the insecticon bee.
Brawn and cliffjumper didn't move, but Jade eeped and dove for cover. Jazz ducked behind a nearby peice of machinery or something as the rest of the Rangers started firing, the two groups exchanging weaponfire from cover.
Brawn and Cliffjumper didn't see the electricity, and thinking it wouldn't harm them, kept firing. Unfprtunately, both got caught. The intense electricity short-circuited one of the nearby machines, and it exploded...
Megatron glanced back as the explosion sounded from inside the building. he looked at Prime. "It was a distraction!" he turned and fired at the humans trapped nearby...
