Me: Update! Don't hurt me! I bruise easily!
"So you were a Maximal originally?" Lan asked, wearing blue pajamas.
"Yes. Wasp head of class until Bumble-Bot ruined Wasp's life!" Wasp growled.
"Do tell," Megaman said.
"It all start when Wasp joined Maximal Academy…" Wasp began.
"Optimus, you get down from that tree this instant!" Sentinel ordered with Soraookami howling in agreement, earning mud to their faces, "You better have mud up there!"
Nearby, Megatron chuckled sinisterly as he aimed a gun at Optimus. He pulled the trigger and a missile launched from it. Optimus grunted as he saw it coming and jumped off, letting the tree take the hit.
"Blast!" Megatron growled, "Well…If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Flyers, spread out! Hunt down the other Maximals and destroy them! Hm?"
Everyone looked up in the sky to see another Pod falling from it. Sentinel and Soraookami gasped as the Pod landed in the 'hunting grounds.' Megatron sneered.
"We will find the Pod later. Right now…We'll destroy the Maximals!" Megatron ordered before the Flyers took off, "Yes…and Optimus Primal is mine…Forward!"
"This way, Optimus!" Sentinel called as she rode on Soraookami away from the burning tree remains with Optimus following closely, "And when we get back to base, I am soooo going to have my revenge with a prank war on your sorry afterburner!"
"Vermin! Get back here this instant!" Dinobot snarled as he chased Rattrap while Terrorsaur and Skybite open fired on them from above.
"I just love it when my prey doesn't shoot back!" Skybite laughed.
"Hunting from the air with automatic weapons. Now that's a sport!" Terrorsaur laughed before the two gave pursuit.
"You cowards!" Duke declared as he aimed his shield at them, "Final Elysium!"
The shield hummed to life as it glowed. A beam of blue light ripped out of it and went at the Flyers. The two dodged and continued to fire, aiming at Duke.
"Rhinox, get back here!" Cheetor and Twinfox called as they and Rhinox dodged the blasts from Inferno.
The trio ran into the dense jungle, hoping Inferno wouldn't give chase. Sadly, he did and ended up ramming into a tree. The three continued on, panting with Rhinox in fear, until Snowstalker jumped out of the trees and growled at them in Beast Mode. The trio stopped with a skid and the White Tiger looked at them all before turning and walking off. She looked back as Rhinox looked at the two before an explosion went off near where Inferno was. Rhinox quickly ran after her with Cheetor and Twinfox behind him.
"Lights are on, but nobody's home…" Airrazor teased, "…Except the automated defense systems, of course. Oh well…She stoops to conquer!"
With that, Airrazor began her descent at the Predacon Base. It was surrounded by bits of lava and cooled magma. Turrets installed in various rock formations and on the base activated and began to open fire on the falcon. Airrazor avoided each and every shot. She transformed and engaged a sonic boom. She zoomed right past the defenses, making the turrets spin around, before the shockwave ripped them right out of their places and on the ground or into the lava.
"Where did Mouse-Bot go?" Grimlock asked as he, Dinobot, Duke, and Protoryu looked around.
"Rrrr! I swear, if he isn't annoying enough when he's normal, he's even worse when running on instincts!" Dinobot roared.
Nearby, Optimus was sniffing a flower while Sentinel and Soraookami tried to push him back to the Axalon. An explosion behind them made all three jumped off a small ledge. They turned to see Tigatron growling at them. Optimus replied with a roar and beating his chest with his fists. Tigratron simply turned and walked away with a look back at them, clearing saying 'follow.' An explosion happened nearby and the trio ran after him. Soon, the group with the ones Snowstalker found and a hiding Rattrap entered a clearing with the other Maxmimals.
"Where is the vermin?" Dinobot growled.
"You were suppose to be the one to get him," Shock argued.
"Silence, you pestering lightning bug!"
"Here me, fellow Maximals!" Tigertron growled, "I know you are frightened, but I can help you…Access Maximal Core Consciousness. Pass-Code: Tigertron!"
-Pass-Code Accepted- a computerized voice spoke as the feral Maximals, Protoryu, and Grimlock roared in pain.
"Silence!" Tigertron snarled, making them all shut up, "That's better…Now listen well, and learn."
Airrazor entered the main control room of the Predacon Base. Until a light was the Rectifier Coil. She slowly approached it.
"Oh come on! You can't tell me old Megs forgot to set up a booby trap?"
Airrazor slowly began to reach for the item. A gun appeared from the ceiling and aimed at the falcon. It was about to fire when Airrazor got it first. She blew on the smoke emanating from her blaster before taking with device back with a smirk.
"Now…If only Stripes is doing okay…"
"Once, we were merely Robots in Disguise. But on this planet, we Maxmimals have become something more. Maximal Programming was designed to block our beast urges, but that has proven to be an error," Tigertron spoke, "Our Beast Forms are a part of us, fighting their nature only made them stronger. We must accept both Beast and Robot Forms. Feel you core consciousness, find the Programming Block, and delete it! Bring your Beast and Robot Forms together! Let them work in harmony! …And let them both make you stronger then you were before."
-Programming Block: Deleted-
Optimus panted as he regained control, "Yes…I understand…"
"Rat…Robot. Rat…Robot! I'm a rat and a robot! Yeah…Yeah! I like it!" Rattrap grinned as he walked out of the bushes.
"I do not see why," Dinobot growled.
"Me, Grimlock, feel happier."
"Talk about your nick of time!" Roll yelped as an explosion nearby rumbled the land.
"Remember; do not fight your beast instincts. Let them help your Robot Forms. Both in battle and in peace. But for now, let us Maxmimize…" Tigatron advised before he and Snowstalker transformed with their weapons out.
"…And slag some afterburner!" Snowstalker finished, earning a whoop from the others as they Maxmimized.
"Hold on, we need someone to get to the pod," Megawolf advised.
"Not to worry, I sent Akaneko, Ryhtm, and Warp to get it," Sentinel replied as Megawolf engaged Super Mode with Soraookami while she sat down with her left leg crossing over her right one on Grimlock's shoulder, "They'll need her if the Protoform was injured."
"Th-There it is…" Warp stammered on Akaneko's back.
She pointed at the Pod that had destroyed some trees and made a small crater the only sunk it down halfway into the ground. Warp got off Akaneko as she transformed. The two walked over to the Pod and began to activate it. The scanners went to work and then stopped. The Pod hissed open and a wing poked out.
"Strange…I thought only the Preds had that…" Rhythm examined.
"Diego, stop that this instant!" Megatron snapped as the sabertooth stopped eating the blueberries off a bush when a grumble was heard.
"Uh oh…" Diego groaned.
He ran into another set of bushes and loud farting and squishing sounds were heard, making the other Preds groan in disgust. A gorilla roar made them turn to the east. They watched as Optimus swung at them on a vine. He transformed in mid-air and in mid-roar before kicking Megatron off his carriage. Dinobot, in Beast Mode, jumped in front of Blackarachnia, grabbed her by his left hind leg's claws and slammed her on the ground, letting out a guttural growl near her audio receptors. Cheetor, Tigatron, Snowstalker, and Roll gave out a battle cry in Beast Mode before tackling the Preds carrying the throne over. Diego stumbled out of the bushes, roasted, before Grimlock stepped out of them, waving a tiny hand in his Beast Mode over his nose.
"Me, Grimlock, don't like stinky mutt-bot."
The Flyers landed and Rhinox with a Maximized Rattrap rammed into a tree that knocked over and landed near the two Flyers that landed. Skybite took to the air as Rhinox transformed and threw a spinning Rattrap at Terrorsaur. He shifted to Beast Mode in mid-spin and rolled under Terrorsaur's legs. Distracted by it, Terrorsaur turned to be blasted by Rattrap in Robot Mode.
"Heh. Didn't expect dat, did ya?" Rattrap gloated before dodging a blast from Skybite.
Rhinox and Protoryu picked up the tree trunk and whacked Skybite into next week. Nearby, Inferno began to shoot at Optimus alongside Shocktail and Dinoshout. Megawolf landed behind them and tapped their shoulders. They turned as Megawolf engaged his Cyber Planet Key. The resulting explosion from the attack sent the trio flying. Optimus picked up Megatron and roared before throwing him.
"Cyber Key Power!" Optimus roared.
He sent a surge of red energy into the air. The white key erupted from the sky and landed on his back. Larger versions of his normal missile launchers, modified to resemble gun barrels, emerged from his back. He fired large red lasers from the two weapons and sent Megatron twelve meters away. Lightning came off of Megatron and the other Predacons.
"Energon Buildup! The hunt has gone too long!" Megatron growled, "Predacons: Retreat!"
"Alright!" Cheetor exclaimed as he banged fists with Optimus as the Maximals all turned into Robot Mode/disengaged from Super Mode, "Beast or Bot…"
"…We're still the baddest!" Twinfox growled.
"Yeah!" the two whooped before giving each other a high five.
A falcon's cry got their attention. They all looked up in the air to see Airrazor fly overhead. Optimus gave a soft smile as he saw she had their Rectifier Coil in her talons. Nearby, they saw Akaneko approach with Warp on her back and a large bumble bee behind them, having Rhythm check up on it.
"And it looks like thing will be back to normal!" Rhinox added.
"Maybe even better," Optimus spoke before the Maximals let out their animal urges and roared.
"…And that's how Wasp turned Predacon…"
"Man…All because of one thing planted in your stuff…" Lan whispered.
"Oh…Poor Wasp-chan…" Maylu sniffled before the computer rang, "Must be the others."
'Yo! Maylu, Lan…Bug…' Rattrap greeted.
"Rat-Bot."
'Well tonight has been productive,' Rattrap grinned, 'We've got da Rectifier Coil back t'anks ta Birdlady, we've got our Beast Modes unda control, and we've got two new Maximals…'
"Sweet! So when do we get to meet them?" Lan asked.
'Yo, Boss Monkey! Is it too late ta do a meet and greet wit da humans fer our new guys?'
'I'm a femme, you fraggin' afterburner!' a voice hissed before a cat version of Roll, but with short red hair and pink optics, tackled into Rattrap.
'Hi!' Snowstalker mewed in her Beast Mode.
"Hey there, Snowstalker," Lan grinned, "So who was the cat?"
'That's Akaneko-Oneechan,' Snowstalker replied, 'Bumblebee, come over here!'
'Alright, alright, I'm coming! Sheesh…I just wanna get some shut eye…'
A figure stepped in front of the screen. He had the same build as Wasp's Cybertronian body except his was based off a bee's body. He had blue optics and a yellow helmet with two horns on the top. Wasp gawked at the 'Bot before he began to shake and turn red.
"Bumble-Bot!"
Me: Once more…Don't hurt me!
