Chapter Six
As the battle raged on between Predacon and Autobot a light blue fighter jet hovered over the scene. It watched for a moment before saying, "Damn it! This wasn't part of the plan! Damn those Predacons!" and diving down toward the battle area.
Prowl -who had just sent his opponent flying backwards- looked around the battle area. He had just looked over at Optimus when he saw a light blue jet heading toward the Autobot leader. "Optimus look out!" he shouted.
Hearing Prowl's shout Optimus looked behind him and just managed to move out the way before the jet started firing.
"Since when did the Predacons have air support?" Side Burn asked.
His opponent, Dark Scream simply shrugged and said, "Beats me." Failing to recognise the jet.
The jet dived for another attack and to the Autobots surprise it wasn't attacking them, it was attacking the Predacons. Upon the third wave of attack Slapper shouted, "Wait! I recognise that jet!" hearing this the jet headed down and transformed between the two factions. Dark Scream, Gas Skunk and Slapper all stood in shock, their mouths hanging open. The jet attacking them was the very same one they'd met in the derelict building a couple of weeks ago.
"This was NOT part of the plan!" they said clearly annoyed.
Sky-Byte looked at the three stunned Predacons then over at the 'jet'. "This was your 'contact'." He asked rhetorically looking back at them. "You fools! That's an Autobot!" pointing at the 'jet'. A laser shot grazed passed Sky-Byte's audio receptor, he held it in slight pain and looked over to see the 'jet' with their right arm gun pointing in his direction.
"You should watch what you say, Predacon." They said as they lowered their arm. "Someone might get hurt… namely you."
Optimus Prime, Prowl, X-Brawn and Side Burn were watching what was going on, almost as surprised as the three Predacons.
Listening to the 'jet' Optimus couldn't help but wonder where he'd heard that feminine voice before. He studied them carefully looking to see if there was any clue to their identity.
After a few more words between the 'jet' and the Predacons, they left. The 'jet' turned to the Autobots.
"Don't expect me to help you out next time." They said and began to walk off.
"Who are you?" Side Burn called out.
The 'jet' stopped and looked back at them. "You mean you don't know."
"Should we?" Prowl replied.
The 'jet' chuckled and turned back to them.
"You really don't know, do you." They said in a slight humorous tone, making Prowl think he'd heard it before. "Okay then I'll tell you, not that it matters. My names Freespirit."
"But that can't be, Freespirit isn't a jet they're a car." Side Burn said half shocked.
If Freespirit had been human she would've rolled her eyes at Side Burn's comment.
"Thank you Mr. Obvious." She said sarcastically, then added "That is one of my forms."
Optimus had finally realised where he'd heard her voice before, but that was impossible, wasn't it? Seeing the confusion and realisation in his optics Freespirit smirked and gave a small nod. Upon seeing this, his optics widened in complete shock at what was just revealed to him.
"You okay, Optimus?" Prowl asked seeing the sheer shock on his leaders face.
Slowly Optimus gave a nod, and forced his vocal processors to work.
"I want to talk to Freespirit alone."
"Are you sure that's wise?" X-Brawn asked.
"If the Predacons should come back…" Prowl began.
"They won't." Freespirit said flatly interrupting him, there almost hatred in her voice.
"I'll meet you back at base." Optimus said walking over to Freespirit.
All Autobot Brothers could do was watch as both Optimus and Freespirit transformed and drove off.
