Sorry for not updating in a while...been busy with dealing with writers block. Well, I got this chapter leaving you at a nice little cliff-hanger. Have fun!
Chapter 7
While everyone marveled at Airazor's and Tigatron's new transmetal bodies, Skyhunter took the transmetal driver and started off towards what he had turned into a lab. He sat down in his chair, set the driver on a scanner, and started to run a scan on it, seeing what he could find. Not long after, Airazor poked her head in.
"What'chu doing, Sky? I thought you'd be gawking over my body like the others," Airazor said, walking over to him.
Skyhunter chuckled and continued his work. "As tempting as that offer sounds, I'm going to have to decline…"
Airazor sat down on Skyhunter's desk and looked at his monitor. "Seriously, what'chu doing?"
"I'm trying to figure out why your changes and Tigatron's changes aren't to the same degree…"
Airazor watched as Skyhunter continued typing on his keyboard. After a while, Airazor got bored and got up.
"I'll go see what the others are doing…" She said, stretching slightly.
"Be my guest," Skyhunter said, shrugging.
Airazor nodded and left the room, almost running into Tigatron, who seemed to be looking for her.
"Oh, Airazor…I was wondering where you went," Tigatron said, stopping in front of her.
"Just seeing what Skyhunter was doing…" Airazor informed him. "It's just that he hasn't been online for more than five cycles and he goes to work for several megacycles…"
"I agree…that kid's working himself too hard…" Tigatron said, nodding.
"He needs to learn that he can't do everything…" Airazor said, walking along the hallways.
Tigatron made a noise of agreement, nodded his head, and followed her.
Suddenly, they both head a loud curse, something heavy get hit and knocked to the floor and more cursing.
Airazor and Tigatron both looked back to where they had came from.
"Sky?" Airazor gave a tentative call. "Skyhunter? You ok?"
There was no answer and Airazor and Tigatron exchanged worried glances. They both rushed to where Skyhunter was working and looked in. A table was overturned and datapads and other things littered the floor. Skyhunter charged out of the room just as Tigatron and Airazor looked in, causing them to hurriedly get out of his way as he stormed past them, the transmetal driver in his hand.
"Skyhunter? Wha-?" Airazor was about to ask what was wrong, but he was gone before she could ask.
Airazor and Tigatron exchanged another glance and raced after Skyhunter. They followed Skyhunter all the way until he had reached Depthcharge's quarters and hammered on the door.
Depthcharge opened the door immediately and looked just as surprised to see him there as Airazor and Tigatron had looked when it all started.
"It's a fake…" Skyhunter growled.
"What?" was all Depthcharge could say.
"This…thing…it's a fraggin' fake!" Skyhunter said, anger and a feeling of failure in his voice.
"But how…" Depthcharge was some how keeping his cool.
"I don't know…Tarantulas must've known we would try and get it from him so he made a fake."
Depthcharge was speechless as he looked around the hall and saw Tigatron and Airazor. "Then explain them." Depthcharge said, gesturing at the couple.
Skyhunter looked at Airazor and Tigatron, and shook his head. "I don't know. It may have some traces of the real driver's power. Maybe that's how it happened, but the power given is very erratic, no set amount given to the being. We were lucky…if it didn't give the energy, it would've taken it…It could've killed them…"
"But it didn't-"
"I said it could've…." Skyhunter interrupted Depthcharge. He looked back at Airazor and Tigatron. "We can't do it anymore…not without the real transmetal driver…there's too much risk…"
"Even more risk than you had already predicted?" Depthcharge asked, raising and optic ridge.
"I said before that there was a 35 percent chance of get your CPU fired…I'm changing it to 85 percent…"
