Chapter 21: Gorilla Warfare
Antigo, Outside Canyon Region
Location; Split Waterfalls
The scenery opens up to a canyon were there was water running through it that was as openly to be a lake. But from a split spot, made two falls of water lead to other parts of a river below. There is only so little greeny that can be found from in the center of the waterfall split to below it. But the camera zooms around a certain location where there are a few rocks in the formation of round-shapes, even some near the water where water-base plants grow. As a butterfly was seen flying around passing a middle-size boulder, just around under the rock, was…a plant that was being pushed off from it's growth's work? But this sorta plant had two violet flowers by it's side leaves with the roots in the ground, and the bud was seemingly closed from blossoming. But our focus isn't on this, it's the timely arrive of some…gorilla feet!?
"Ah!" Optimis' voice spoke off in sounding please by something his foot is near. "Nrugh…here's a new specimen?" Optimis' voice issued off from his body trying to bend down to study the strange plant. "What say you Jeremie?" He addressed to someone else who was also near, and it's the human boy that's friends with the Maximals.
"Hmm…it's botanic structure is a little different from other flowers I've seen…thus far? I'm no botanicalist?" Jeremie shrug off from using his little digital camera to take a snap-shot of the plant, since he's never come across a plant like this before from school teachings.
"Dinobot? Come on!" Optimis then lean himself up along with Jeremie, as the Maximal held an arm up to signal for someone near to come. "You're suppose to be assisting?" Optimis addressed off near some rocky rocks near a hill going up near a big boulder in which, the ape was speaking to someone.
"GRugh-Hmmm…?" Dinobot came out from around the big boulder that hid himself from view while letting off a moan snarl noise in not sounding so please. "Of course? Grugrugruaaaghh…." He waved off his arms in responding to the statement of their being here while taking another breathing moment as he was approaching the spot. "Pardon my lack of enthusiasm for a bunch of worthless weeds?" He held up his right claw to his heart, then stops to lean his left claw out to the plant stuck under a big rock's view. "You both realize?" Dinobot pointed to Optimis & Jeremie with narrow eyes in trying to speak of something else to focus on. "That we are targets out here?" As Dinobot shrug off his arms, Optimis just scratched his back neck with his right hand while Jeremie stared puzzle by this discussion. "Nnnhhmm…TARGETS!" Dinobot held up his left claw in a grip in stating that if they are out here, they'll be easy targets for any enemies on the lookout. "And still, you stop to smell the roses?" He points to the ape & human child to wave down the left hand of his in issuing that from such serious situations, they are taking their time to relax without being cautious. "Grugruaaaughh…" He lets off a breathing snarl noise from getting what he said out of the way. "Or…Whatever?" He waved up his arms in not caring why Optimis or Jeremie would care to do such task without care, he just doesn't get.
"Hrupvhmm…" Suddenly, the plant let off a sign of opening the bud, like it was breathing or something.
"Not to complain, but I don't mind when there are no enemies around that we need to worry for? Even on little study jobs." Jeremie stated that for him, he prefers to handle doing stuff with his friends without watching out for any dangers coming at him.
"Hugh…" Optimis rolled his eyes to sign in seeing what Dinobot was complaining about. "Dinobot, I sign 'on' for this mission as an explorer?" Optimis briefly explained to the Ex-Pred in why he was doing this mission in the first place, cause he is a Commander of an crew of explorers. "Just because we bump into Predacons, is no reason to stop learning new things?" He shook his head and pointed his right index finger to sternly state, that they can't learn to adjust to things even after coming across fighting their enemies to survive.
"Grugraaaugh, well…?" Dinobot snorted off to prepare a response that was the claim of the Maximal Commander. "If we encounter any of Megatron's forces? Gaaugh…" He stopped for a brief moment in how he would discuss this, as he pointed his right index claw finger to Optimis of the subject. "You may learn that it is…'unwise', to dally with plants?" The Ex-Pred turn his head a bit that if anything, they can't let one plant earn their attention enough that Megatron's troops can attack them when they least expect it. "We should be…" He held his left claw to his chin to scratch it while making a new subject that they should focus entirely on. "Devising battle strategies! Some of which, can protect the Key, Aelita, from harm." He shook his right claw in issuing what they 'should' be doing with their time, anything else like 'plant studies' or that junk are waste of time, they need to crush the enemy while protecting Aelita from the Preds.
"It's already being taken care of, but even Aelita doesn't wanna be shield from having a good time?" Jeremie assured Dinobot that Aelita was safe, but they all want her to not be kept from wanting to enjoy herself in life's moments.
"And you think just having 'fun' can be what we need in our struggles? As I said, we need decisive battle strategies!" Dinobot issued off to the human child that in this war, having fun is not something they have time for.
"Knowledge of the territory can be an advantage in battle, Dinobot." Optimis spoke while he leans down to gently stroke the flower before his feet, issuing about using the knowledge of where they are to help in their struggles. "You're a soldier, you should know that?" He waves his left hand with a focus serious face about Dinobot knowing such basic usage in fighting 101, how is it the Ex-Pred wasn't aware of such tactics.
"I somehow doubt this plant will be a turning point?" Dinobot waved his left hand down and looked to Optimis in giving a rhetorical statement on such thoughts of using the knowledge of a plant in battle. "Grugrugraaaughh…." He takes a long breathing moment after speaking his mind. "But…Very Well!" He suddenly waved off his claws in giving in to what Optimis was stating about using knowledge of the territory etc. "If have it you must?" He spoke off in letting the Maximal Commander know, that he gets the point here. "Stand aside! Both of you!" The raptor approached to wave his right claw off in wanting Optimis & Jeremie to move away suddenly. "I'll BLAST it Out!" He gripped his claws to shake them in stating that he'll free the plant from the boulder…by destroying the rock with his optic beams.
"Wait, you're gonna free the plant by using explosive weaponry? How's that helpful?" Jeremie spoke off surprise in hearing what the Ex-Pred was gonna use just now.
"It is too me, Belpois." Dinobot issued off to the human child that his common sense, is his own. "Dinobot - MAXI-MUPvhmmm…./Clupvhmm!" Suddenly during Dinobot's preparation, Optimis puts his right ape hand over the raptor's mouth. "Hmm..Hhmmm!?" Dinobot was letting off some muffle nosies from being cut off from speaking or finishing his activation code.
"Hold on?" Optimis spoke off in wanting his friend to just wait a second before acting. "Hold on?" He issued a more forceful tone to have the raptor wait a second before suddenly Transforming out of the blue.
"Optimis, I think that must be the center key holding this thing up?" Jeremie pointed to a little rock balancing the bigger boulder just underneath. "Try to maybe pull it off and see what happens?" He issued a choice on how they can perform this task with minimum damage…or excessive force.
Optimis looked down to see that just as Jeremie pointed out, a little rock pillar was holding up the big rock. Soon the Maximals are studying the rock that holds the big one in which the plant is growing from, the question is…can they move the big rock without disturbing the plant of harming it. Optimis position himself to hold the big rock, moved his right foot in place near the little rock, gave some reflex squeezes before tightening it now.
"GRuvmm…" Optimis gave a good first tug on the little pillar rock, and then… "ARrrughmmm!/Clupvhmm…" He quickly swung his right foot with the rock pillar off to the side before letting it go, and the big boulder dropped out near the ground. Leaving a little crater from where it once was, but leaving the plant undisturbed. "POwwfruvhmm…." Of course, as the bigger rock soon made an impact noise of hitting the hill below, Optimis pay no mind as he leans to obverse the plant's health without a big rock almost likely that could have crushed it. "You see?" Optimis looks up to wave over to the Ex-Pred in noticing what he did. "It 'is' possible, to look for Non-Violet solutions first." Optimis sternly was explaining that some cases can be solved without much violent course of actions being involved.
"Right, plus nobody will hear a loud explosion to come investigate." Jeremie shrug off his shoulders in stating another positive effect by this work, which can help keep the Maximals a secret from the rest of the world as possible.
"Perhaps? GUaaugh…" Dinobot lightly gave in to this display that it 'was' a solution without resorting to his manner of handling. "But I think you've lost your battle edge, Optimis?" Dinobot remarked off in stating that the Maximal Commander is losing his touch in fighting. "In our fight against Megatron…" Optimis focus his eyes on what Dinobot was saying, even Jeremie lichen in too. "There is no nothing!…You can learn from this…worthless weed?" As Dinobot was making his remark statement, he looks down with an frowny face about anyone learning something from this plant as an example. "Teeeiihhhh!" He then leans down to hiss at the plant before turning around to leave.
Soon Dinobot turns to leave the spot while Optimis & Jeremie remain where they were. But without knowing it, the reaction Dinobot did to the plant, had the bud turn in where the raptor was, hurl it's top backwards before… "PRusfruvphmm…." And then it open it's mouth in four leaf sets while launching off something…?
"Huuagh?" And while Dinobot was walking, he fail to react in time when he yelp at…a spiky hedge bud ball coming at him.
"Stabfruvhmm!" Suddenly, the spiky ball stab right on the back of the raptor's neck.
"WAAUUAAAaughhh-AAaugh!" Dinobot clinch his claws in what got him, as he yelps out in sheer aggression. "HRUuagh! MWRaaughh! Get this thing off of me?" Dinobot tried to reach for the thing on his neck, but he couldn't reach and demanded that someone get what's on, off of him. "Gruagh-Hruagh! I can't reach it?" His struggles to try to get what's stuck on his neck, which is impossible for a raptor alone to do. "NRuvhmm…GEEEEET IIIIT OOOOOOF!" Dinobot was literally screeching out in pandemonium in wanting what's stuck on him, off to clutching his left claw in a fist grip in wanting this over with.
Jeremie stood back in seeing a raptor begin to almost go wild, as for Optimis, he began to walk up close to aid Dinobot in his time of need.
Optimis held up his hands in trying to approach Dinobot carefully, but the Ex-Pred was shaking his neck around in trying to shake the spiky thing off his neck. "Hold on?" He tried to ask for the Ex-Pred to settle down, but that wasn't calming Dinobot a bit. "Grugh-Gaugh-Gaaauuugh! Hold On!" Optimis struggle to reach the item with Dinobot's out of control self to reach the stab item, but finally…the raptor calm himself to let the work commence already.
Soon Optimis finally picked the spiky bud off the raptor's back neck to hold it up to his face; with a smile.
"Huhuhuhuhaagh, got you right in the one spot you can't reach? Didn't it?" Optimis quoted off with a bit of a chuckle to state how what got Dinobot, was put on a place a raptor cannot easily reach with their arms.
"Grugrufruvhmm…" Suddenly, the spiky ball was shaking and making weird nosies out of the blue in the ape's hands.
"Optimis, that bud?" Jeremie spoke from looking at what his friend had in his hand.
Optimis lets go of the object when it made that noise, and soon the spiky bud landed on the ground like a bouncy ball. And soon, it split up to reveal the sprouting of the same strange plant, only the shell of the bud was underneath it's roots.
"Hugh, I guess that was the plant spitting out a new seed of itself? I've read something like it, and that the seed pod returns to the Earth after time?" Jeremie spoke off from seeing and understanding the workings of this plant.
"You see?" Optimis looks up from the plant to look at Dinobot, who saw the action as well while listening to the ape. "Like Jeremie stated. That's how it spreads it's seeds?" He waved motion to the seed below in how the plant spreads such things out. "We've 'learn' something?" Optimis wave his right hand to Dinobot in stating they've learn how the plant life can work on this plant.
"YeeHeeezzzzzhhh!" Dinobot slowly raised up his arms and head in almost being awe inspired by the whole thing…in a sarcastic kinda way. "Grugruaaaughh…." He took the moment to breath in from snarling a bit before speaking. "From now on I will 'Shoot' my diner salad before I eat it." The Ex-Pred waved off his right claw down in stating what he do the next time he deals with plant substances, so that this won't happen again.
"Somehow, that doesn't sound like a good idea when you're eating?" Jeremie sweat-drop in how Dinobot came to terms in what to do the next time he sees a plant or veggie before him, like when it's dinner time.
"Hmmm…" Optimis hummed to himself from where he stood from obverting the plant before him, Dinobot & Jeremie. "Tuhh…We'll need to find another specimen?" He took a breath before issuing that they need to go and find another plant specimen for their explorer's study of this plant & it's behavioral patterns.
"I think I like to know if any of these type of plants exist in our history's books? So lets try another spot and see what other specimens we can find?" Jeremie stated in agreeing what Optimis was going for, they'll need to find another like this plant to further understand it.
But just as they were about to turn and go when… "Hugh!/WRUAaguhhh!" Optimis and Dinobot let off gasp noises in spotting something ahead of them.
Just over the river water, near a small band of rocks to be like a small island land, someone was there…and it was no friend. It was a Predacon in Robot Mode, and it's identity was…Scorponok.
"How about…." Scorponok spoke in sounding almost like he was answering a question from the others. "An arachnid!" He issued off in stating a species the Maximals can look for, which as a creature of a deadly ability. Just as he held out his right pincer claw to open it in revealing; his two spring loads of missiles. "POWWvhmfruvhmm…." Which at that moment, the Pred fired his missile that was heading straight for the others on land.
"BAMGrvuhmmm!" And before we knew it, Optimis grabbed Jeremie, as the two jump to the right and Dinobot dodge to the left while the missile exploded off some nearby rocky hill spot in leaving a dent.
"Gaugh!/GRaugh!/Uwaugh!" Optimis, Dinobot, and Jeremie let off some groan sounds from their landing against the ground, but it was at least better then taking on a missile damage.
"Optimis - MAXIMIZE!" Optimis soon stood himself up from the ground to announce his activation code sequence.
"Dinobot - MAXIMIZE!" Dinobot also stood up to announce his own transformation sequence at this moment.
Soon while Optimis finished his transformation, Dinobot let off a snarl roar while he quickly changed into his Robot Mode.
"Get to cover Jeremie!" Optimis issued to the human to take cover and out of the battle before he gets hurt.
"Got it!" Jeremie responded to take cover near some large boulder rock to give him enough protection from what's about to happen here.
"Powvhm-Powvhm!" Soon Scorponok fired off two shots of missiles in one direction. "Powvhm-Powvhm, Powvhm-Powvhm!" Then lean more to the left with a little clip noise from his pincer to fire more missiles.
"Frusvhm-Frusvhm, Bam-Bamfruvhm!" Pretty soon, the two Maximals took cover near some large rock boulders while some missiles pass by them and exploded off sight. Soon Optimis was getting his wrist blaster out from his left side while Dinobot watched out of some missile shots.
"POwvhmfruvhmm!" Soon Optimis fired out one shot of his wrist cannon to hit the target.
"Powvhm, Powvhm!" Scorponok managed to hold his own, as Optimis' shot miss, and the guy fired from his scorpion tail and his right missile launcher pincer.
"PRususvhmmmm…" Dinobot was firing his green optic beams at the Predacon while the latter's shots exploded off side of him.
"Powvhm-Powvhmm…" Scorponok however, just kept attacking while Dinobot's attack missed hitting the guy.
From a far view, it was a triangle formation of where Dinobot was firing optic beams from the top, Optimis on the bottom left with his wrist cannons, and Scorponok firing missiles from the bottom right of his rocky spot close to the shore on land while there was a tree log behind him.
"Powvhmm…Boomvhmm!" Suddenly, Scorponok fired a missile that exploded near Dinobot's spot, above him which was caught by Optimis to see…it was a big boulder above his comrade. "Fruspvhmm…Boomfruvhmm!" And then another missile shot shook that big rock when it destroyed the little rock supporters holding it up.
"DINOBOT!" Optimis shouted out in warning concerns for his friend in trouble.
The large rock tumble off, and Dinobot was too focus on firing his optic beams at the enemy in front to see…something coming behind.
"Huuagh!" But when Dinobot did turn to notice, he yelped in seeing what was falling towards him and held up his arms to defend. "CLUMPfruvhmm.../GRUUaaughhh!…HRUAaughh…." Dinobot yelped off from the big rock that landed on his metal body, pinning him against the big rock he used for cover. "RRruuaaRROOUURRArrghhh!" Dinobot let off a roaring cry in being stuck in this spot while there is a battle going on.
Jeremie peeked out in seeing what was happening, and didn't like it?
"Dinobot!" Optimis called out from avoiding the exploding nosies, and was preparing to go over to help a friend.
"I have a special Cyberbee, just for you Optimis Primal!" Scorponok declared off in seeing the Maximal Commander begin to move, as he held up his left pincer claw before opening it. And from it came what appeared to be a small robotic drone bumble bee with black incest legs, a battery pack on it's back, gray incest wings, and it seem to be 'humming' a wickedly evil hum with them glowing red eyes. "Enjoy!" The Pred bellowed out to hold out his unused claw to prepare this little trick up his sleeve.
"PRuufruvhmm…." Soon Scorponok fired off the Cyberbee that took flight work in it's travel.
"Optimis, look out!" Jeremie shouted from noticing something wasn't right, Scorponok was up to something with that stunt he saw from his hidden place.
Now we see the Cyberbee was zooming off from it's launcher to buzz right for the running Optimis, as he turn the head to notice and stopped to hold up his hands in expecting the worst.
"Styabvhmm!/GUaaughh!" Soon the Cyber-Bee grabbed/stab into Optimis' chest-plate spot which made him yelp to be knocked back to smack against some rocks. "Frusuvhmm…/Truosvhmm…" Suddenly, a weird noise of ominous sounds were heard, as the weird bee was latched onto Optimis. "TRusvhmm.../GRaaughh!" Another weird noise was heard that made Optimis yelp slightly from feeling something was happening to him.
"POwvhmfruvhmm!" But Optimis managed to lift up his left wrist cannon to aim and fire off a shot for the Predacon foe. "Frusussvhmmm…BAmgruvhmmm!" Optimis' one charge blast shot traveled and impacted against the Pred's chest as a little payback.
"Gaaugh!" Scorponok cried out from taking the hit that knocked him back. "Clupvhm…." He suddenly smack right onto the log behind him on his entire back side. "Uaaugh?" He stood up a bit from what had hit him with a little moan of aches while looking around his spot on where he was. "Crackfruvhmm…" A sudden crack noise happened that loosen the log's position where he was on. "Huagh!" Scorponok gasped in surprise worry that his visor changed to a red color.
As the log made crack nosies, it was floating it's rider towards…the rushing falls of the waterfall. Scorponok looked around in seeing there was no way out of this position, but to get ready for the rough ride.
"GAAAAaughhhh!" Scorponok made a loud cry scream before the log tip him over the falls. "WAAAAUuughhhh-AAAaughhhhaaahhhh!" And now Scorponok was screaming from where he and the log were falling down the current of the waterfall, where they would eventually hit the bottom of some watery cloud mist blocking our view of their disappearance. "SPlashvmm…." Soon there was a splash noise, meaning the guy made contact with the bottom of the river, but we just couldn't see.
Meanwhile, we focus on where Dinobot was still struggling to get himself free from his pinned state.
"HRUUaaughhh-WRAAGuhhhh!" Soon Dinobot put his arms against the big rock, used all his strength to push the thing off which he managed to send the thing off from pinning him. "CLUPowfruvhmmm…." There was a loud 'bang' noise of something that sounded like a large rock smacking on the ground from the heavy weight. "Optimis…?" Dinobot turn his attention, held out his right hand in calling out with some injury towards his commander, seeing the Maximal was in trouble.
Jeremie came out of his hiding place to come check up on his friends, some were better off then others were what his thoughts told him. Especially when one of them, looked worse without any injuries.
"Gaugh…Huuagh?" Optimis made some groan noises, as he was still in the pin down state from what attack him, the Cyberbee.
"WHrooobhm-Whroobuhm…" The Cyberbee's eyes glowed, so did the top of it's back before latching it's legs onto the Maximal host's chest with that ominous sound.
"UAaugh!" Optimis yelped up from feeling the little drone on him, staring down to see it, and wondered what this was. "WRARRughhhh! URARRrughhh!" Optimis made more cries of agony from feeling something was happening to him…something from the Cyberbee on his chest.
"Okay, I'm calling for help & a Trans-Warp Gate back to the Axelon, you guys need help Big Time!" Jeremie issued from quickly getting his cell phone out, and started to dial for the Maximal communication signal. With luck, they can get those here back to the base and help figure out what's going on.
Later That Night
At The Maximal Base
The scene focuses back where the Axelon ship was still in it's location, hidden in a mountain with some view of the night sky, but we're focusing on the closing part of the ship. Soon we zoom in to where it's the Center Commander Room, were many of the Maximals were in Robot Mode; Rhinox, Rattrap, Cheetor, Dinobot, K-9, Armordillo, Wolfang, Razorbeast, Snarl, Bonecrusher, & Jackrabbit. Even Jeremie was with Aelita, Ulrich, Yumi, William and Sissi, after they heard the news & just had to come over from the urgency; about Optimis' condition in a surprise battle attempt. The other Maximals & human children were scattered in the room while Rhinox worked near the computer console along with Jeremie & Aelita's brains at work, as Dinobot, Cheetor and Dinobot sat on console chairs near the grid table in the center of the room…discussing the issue at hand.
"You were suppose to be his backup?" Cheetor's voice is heard, as we see him pointing at Dinobot in complaining how the Ex-Pred didn't provide enough backup for Optimis.
"We were ambushed?" Dinobot issued off to the young cadet's statement about what happened to them. "And…Don't tell me, my duty? Furball!" He pointed to himself in snapping off to not let some young cadet make a snappy tone remark in how to do his task. "Or you! Shall soon be occupying several recycling bins." The Ex-Pred pointed to Cheetor in stating that if the cat-bot's not careful, then Dinobot may take him apart for the Maximals to collect a few scattered pieces.
"Grrrr….You wanna try it now, Lizard-Lips?" Cheetor growled in narrowing his eyes in being insulted by that challenge remark by the Ex-Pred, as he was clearly losing his temper here.
The others saw that Cheetor was gonna try to fight Dinobot right off the bat, and just before the young Maximal could stand up to take on the Ex-Pred…who should stop these two from fighting then….
"Hay-hay, Hay-Hay-Hay-Hay Here!" Rattrap spoke off in holding up his left hand to have Cheetor stop from what he was about to do. "Eh, as much as I lov' to see da both ye's scrap yourselves?" He shrug off his shoulders to look at the two debating bots in sarcastically saying about the matter in where this fight could be amusing for him to see, but… "Um….de sav' it for me birthday?" The rodent held up his hands to wave down in wanting Cheetor and Dinobot to leave their fighting for another time. "But right now, we got bigger concerns?" He lowered his head, raised it up in motioning over something else they need to focus on right now that calls their attention.
Cheetor heard this to go from mad, to worried concern in looking over his shoulder.
"Wruusfruvphmm…" At this moment, some bright white light escaped a bit from the CR Chamber that was being active at this moment.
"Poor Optimis?" Sissi spoke with a worried and concerning face in what's happen to the commander of the Maximal team.
"Will he be okay?" Yumi looked to the others in wondering how Optimis will pull through.
"We're unsure of that girls?" Wolfang had a cautious face, as even he's not sure if he should bring their hopes up for a nasty fall.
"Right, this matter is different from a wound?" K-9 nods with a serious face, unlike battle damage wounds, this one was different by the enemy's hands.
"Still, I'm worried of what's gonna happen?" Jackrabbit spoke with some feeling in wondering how this may effect Optimis who is the one suffering.
"That we all, Jackrabbit." Razorbeast nods slowly in hearing the youngest Maximal speak her honest mind of concerns.
At this moment, Rattrap thought he get some answers that everyone was waiting on.
"Rhinox…wha's the sitch? You & the two brainy kids found anything?" Rattrap waved off his left hand in looking to his left side in wanting the Maximal Scientist to explain the cause of the matter here.
"We have, but…" Aelita spoke in almost going to respond, but she seem hesitated.
"It isn't looking to good?" Jeremie sadly exclaim to shake his head that the problem isn't as easy as it sounds.
At the time, Rhinox was hard at work trying to uncover the mysterious on their system's computer scanners with a few pressed key nosies.
"Looks like a Viral-mine?" Rhinox issued with a stern face and narrow eyes in what they got for the case of Optimis' state of a stuck Cyberbee. "It's fused with his netcore." He stated the part in what the Cyberbee has done to infuse itself with the Maximal Commander. "He can't transform while the thing's attached?" He shook his head to regrettably say that as long as that Cyberbee is stuck to Optimis, he's stuck in Robot Mode & can't go back into Beast Mode.
"Guess that makes sense?" William shook off his shoulders in finding the answer reasonable in why Optimis can't go back to his Beast Mode with something causing inference.
"You sure wouldn't want a bug on your chest when you need to change?" Ulrich looked to William in remotely stating how none of them wants something on them when they need to change their shirts.
"Come on you two, be glad it wasn't attached to your flesh." Snarl hush the two kids to keep it down, as this situation could have been worst if that Cyberbee got on a flesh being then a robot one.
"Right, that kinda trap, would be more hurtful then you can imagine." Armordillo nods in knowing what could happen to their human allies if they had something grab their sensitive spots and tried to latch itself on them without letting go.
"Well….then…let's get it off! He-he, he took enough Energon damage just getting back here?" Cheetor spoke from standing up to approach Rhinox in a pleading manner of worry about getting the bug thing off Optimis. Especially when the Maximal Commander had to deal with some Energon buildup that was doing him harm when he couldn't transform, it was lucky they got Optimis here where they can treat him at least.
"Yeah, Optimis is just lucky to not have gone into Stasis Lock with that thing on his chest?" Jackrabbit popped up to agree with Cheetor about taking that bug off their friend before Optimis gets any worst for wears.
Cheetor rested his hand on Rhinox in hoping they can just yank what's on their commander off, but…
"Can't be done?" Rhinox shook his head to regret the sad issue about the ideal thought of removing the viral mine Cyberbee from Optimis. "The mine's rerouted all his life support functions to itself?" Rhinox nodded his head for the young cadet, and everyone else that was watching or paying attention, to know what was happening here to cause a problem. "We yank it…" Rhinox spoke off about what happens if they remove the bug latch onto Optimis, and then… "And for Optimis…He lives for less then a minute." Rhinox made a narrow stern face with a frown, that removing the viral mine from Optimis when it has his life-support hooked into it, then their commander will only have a short moment of living before going offline….permanently.
"Wooh…" Cheetor looked away to shake his head with a deep narrow gaze to the ground in hearing this horrid news. "That's bad?" He lowered his head, feeling that if they did that to Optimis, then they lose their friend and leader, and they don't want that.
"Gets worst." Rhinox issued off in breaking the moment of everyone's minds set on how removing the bug would finish off Optimis, with even more worst news.
"Beep-beep…" Soon we see a grid image of the right side showing the side view of the Cyberbee while the left showed a digital yellow line imagine of the CR Chamber. And the blue figure in that yellow line chamber was Optimis, and on his chest was a red Cyberbee that was latch to where a gold-yellow core was in the center of the Maximal's chest. As the readouts for this matter were about to be told.
"Right after that, the mine will explode." Rhinox issued off from what his grid image off the screen was telling him about another function the mine on Optimis will do, not just terminate the Maximal, but it's packed with explosive force. "Taking out everyone within sprinting distance." The image of Optimis' digital self shrunk before it exploded into red particles, stating Rhinox's subject on what happens to them in the process.
"Oh man, ah-ah, I don't get it?" Cheetor shook his head in being very much completely lost in thought of what all this was meaning. "Wh-Wha-Why! For what?" He shrug off his shoulders that with Optimis' life on the line & removing the mine will explode on them; what are the Predacons even trying to do from all this?
"HRuaugh….A viral…mine, you say?" Dinobot spoke off, as he was seen pondering the subject in question that's the condition here. "I know Scorponok's creations." He held his right hand to point the finger at himself in being an Ex-Pred, knows about his old comrades & their methods of abilities. "This one?" He waved off to the CR Chamber while everyone looked to hear what Dinobot had to say about the Cyberbee on Optimis. "Is intended to turn our leader, into a Coward!" Dinobot grip his right hand, smacked it onto the console center table in stating what the viral mine is going to turn Optimis into while latched onto him. "One who will…Lead us to defeat?" Dinobot shook off his right hand in stating that with Optimis' behavior pattern changed to be cowardly, even the commander's leadership skills won't be helpful and the group will lose. "Grugruaaaughh….Only Scorponok will have the antivirus." Dinobot proclaimed in stating that to be rid of this event of what's to become of Optimis, Scorponok would have made the antivirus to counter the viral mine & it's functions.
"So the answer is simple? We either have to create a cure or steal it from the enemy? Like it's a tough choice to some of us?" Bonecrusher spoke off in getting where most of this was going, they need to get their hands on what can help fix Optimis, question is; how?
"There's gotta be a way to put the skids on…?" Rhinox was discussing the serious matter about how they can get the antivirus for Optimis to save him, however...
"Bang-Bang!" The Maximal Scientist's sentence was cut off by loud noise against a metal plating…?
"EHUuaaugh!" Rhinox yelped by the weird sound before looking over where the noise originated from.
"What was that noise?" Jeremie spoke off surprised by what they were hearing out of nowhere.
"It sounded like it came from…the CR Chamber?" Aelita slowly spoke in having to realize, the noise came from where Optimis was in.
"Can't be, during repairs, nobody would be…" Armordillo tried to say that any bot going through treatment can't be acting rough, right?
Suddenly, near the CR Chamber, something a mystery was happening.
"Powvhm-Powvhm Powvhm-Powvhm!/Drusfruvhmmm…." Suddenly, some blast shots were seen that either dented or blew a hole above the CR Chamber while it's light function was shutting down. "Boom-BAmfruvhmm!" And it looked like the front of it's door was being bashed from something trying to get out.
"HUuuaghh!" Cheetor gasped in almost being stun by what just happened with the CR Chamber.
"What the…?" Razorbeast yelped off in seeing this puzzling situation that's taking place.
"What's happening here?" K-9 asked off in not following what was going on here.
"Clapsfruvhmm…Clapsfruvhmm!" Suddenly, the CR Chamber's front was being bashed from a force trying to bust it off.
"HEEEEeaaaughh!" Rattrap also gasped with wide eyes in finding this little display a bit shocking, what was going on here.
"I don't like the looks of this?" Jackrabbit spoke from hiding just a little bit behind Bonecrusher, as the guy was left confused to what was happening around here.
"Standby kids, we won't know WHAT may happen next?" Snarl issued to Yumi, Sissi, William and Ulrich to be on high alert in what they don't know is gonna happen here.
"CLUPfruvhmmm…Truspvhmmm…." Suddenly without warning, the front of the CR Chamber's door got knocked off it's hinges to fall on the ground after being…punched open? And then who should stomp out a bit to be seen then Optimis Primal, with the strange humming nosies of the Cyberbee on his chest; and with his left wrist cannons out.
"Alright!" Optimis spoke off from aiming his weapon out to the crew in making this statement. "Who Wants Some?" He asked off with a 'mean face' look, as if asking for anyone around here to have a taste of what he's got packing here.
"Optimis…sir?" Snarl slowly responded in never seeing his leader be so…freaky & violent out of the blue?
"Something's wrong here, we have to calm him?" Wolfang issued what they need to do under such a situation here.
Soon the Maximals tried to hold up their hands, trying to carefully approach Optimis who seemed to be…on edge? The other human children were near Wolfang & K-9 to keep them at bay for whatever was making their commander act…differently?
"Hugh..hugh…" Optimis was taking a few cautious breaths in seeing the Maximals were trying to close in on him. "Nobody…" Optimis spoke off in trying to say something to the group, but… "Tsikfruvhmmm…" His head suddenly flinched, almost like a short-circuit bolt zapped happen at the moment, like a strange twitch. "Take's it off! Understand!" Optimis was issuing this order while his head twitched again, as he was issuing about the viral mine that's on him with the most forceful tone. "Huagh…huagh…." He was breathing more while Dinobot was carefully approaching behind the commander, however… "YOU HEAR ME?" Optimis shouted out in wanting everyone here to hear this message loud and clear. "I'll Blow Your SLAGGING HEADS OFF!" Optimis turn away from the others, pointed to Dinobot's direction in wielding his wrist cannons in blowing his top off in what he do to anyone that crosses him now in his threat.
"Say what?" Sissi yelped in horrible response to this threat.
"He's not serious, is he?" William asked off in hoping this Optimis Primal wasn't gonna attack them…would he?
"I don't care who, be it bot or human, I'LL BLOW YOU UP!" Optimis shouted off in his angry voice in what he do, and doesn't care who they are.
"That, doesn't sound good?" Jeremie responded fearfully that if nothing is done, Optimis will attack them, maybe even Aelita despite her being the Key. This was gonna be dangerous?
"Hmm…." Dinobot lets off a mean humming noise in glaring at Optimis' actions to attack him or the others, and decided to be ready.
"No Big-bot?" Cheetor cried out with worry in seeing his commander was gonna do something regrettable.
"Take Cover! He's Lost It!" Jackrabbit cried out from looking around for any possible cover spots to shield herself and the others.
"Huagh!" Rhinox gasped at this action and behavior, and decided to quickly act while he had a shot. "GRRaughh!" Rhinox quickly grip Optimis' arms with his hands to hold his commander from doing anything…rash. "Hold On There?" He demanded off with a force tone in wanting Optimis' near-out of control state to settle down now before going off the deep end
"HRaaughh!" Optimis tried to struggle out of Rhinox's hold, but the Maximal was very strong to keep him held up. "HRraughh! GET OFF OF ME!" Optimis struggled more while lashing off angrily at Rhinox to release him right now.
"Yess….Grugrugraaaugh…" Dinobot spoke in actually responding to this sorta act in what Optimis requested. "Listen to him." He pointed his right hand's index finger in wanting Rhinox to listen to Optimis' order to be free so that he can attack.
"Are you crazy?" Yumi asked off in thinking the Ex-Pred was serious about wanting to have a brawl out right now.
"He'll likely try to blow your head off like he mentioned earlier?" Ulrich remotely stated to remind Dinobot, what Optimis just said he do, and that's not something of the Optimis they know would likely do out of rage.
"Hrruaaaughh…siiihhh…" Optimis lets off a sign of exhausted breath in almost sneering over his held state. "I don't fear you?" He let off a statement with his stern eyes about who he doesn't fear while the drone bug continues to let off it's ominous sound works. "Huuagh, I DON'T FEAR ANY OF YOU!" And during another struggle to get out of Rhinox's grip, Optimis lash out his top again in protest.
"What's gotten into him?" Armordillo asked off in not getting what's making Optimis get all…crazy on them.
"This isn't what we were expecting?" Razorbeast responded off that at first, they get a coward to lead them, this action & behavior; was NOT cowardliness?
"Lashing out, saying he terminate us, sounds like what I say…only to the Preds?" Bonecrusher spoke off in thinking this kinda action was different, yet something he go loose with against his enemies.
"Then why is he acting this way? Someone wanna explain, like you for starters, Dinobot?" Snarl asked off in wanting the Ex-Pred to fill in the blanks, in why Optimis is acting out all angry, rational, and just plain ballistic.
"Right...I thought that thing was suppose to turn him into a coward?" Rhinox looked to Dinobot with stern eyes in questioning the method of Optimis' actions are different then they were expecting.
"No doubt that WAS it's intention?" Dinobot waved off his left hand in declaring with a rhetorical remark about this viral mine was 'suppose' to have turn Optimis into a coward. "Gasuhaaughh.." He took another breath moment in what else he had to say about this situation's results. "But…Scorponok is notoriously…Incompetent!" Dinobot waved up his right arm's grip fist to the chest in declaring how that Scorponok is very much, an incompetent fool that just blindly follows Megatron's orders while doing his bidding.
"Sounds like a real blow-nose in our notebook?" William rolled his eyes in thinking how one Pred in Megatron's rank would behave like that.
"Ssshh!" Yumi & Ulrich hushed their friend to not try to say something to make matters worse here with Optimis' weird actions.
"URruagh!" Optimis made another noise in sounding like he wanted to get loose, from Rhinox…and more around the others.
"I would say instead?" Dinobot spoke from what they have instead of a cowardly Optimis Primal, is different. "That we have…aaah?" Dinobot was stating to what he best describe Optimis' newest personality action that's different from what they expect.
"Nrruaghh!" Optimis let off more struggle nosies to get himself free. "WRRrughhh!" Soon Dinobot came close to Optimis to lean down in his eyes studying what this viral mine drone has presented them with.
"A Berserker?" Dinobot issued off the answer, as Optimis stood himself up to see the Ex-Pred in how his actions are that of a berserker. "Interesting?" Dinobot spoke off in seeing this kind of Optimis' action is more of a different result then of a cowardly leader.
"Hruagh!" Optimis still struggled from being held by Rhinox, as he seem to be being under the urge to go ballistic.
"Somehow, when I think of berserkers, eh, I think about Snarl, Razorbeast, heck, even Bonecrusher as those types?" Rattrap spoke off his own thoughts in seeing how Optimis was acting, was kinda like how those three Maximals in their group behave in times of their battles against the enemy.
"Haaay!" The mentioned Maximals snapped off in finding that a little offensive.
"Optimis can beat it!" Cheetor shrug down his shoulders in stating with a serious face that Optimis can beat what's forcing him to be this berserker state. "Come on Big-bot? Fight against it!" Cheetor pleaded and held his left fist up to cheer that Optimis can overcome what's controlling him. "You can do it!" He ushered out in having fate that his friend & commander can beat whatever is making him act this way by the Preds' hands. "Please…?" He let off a squeal of begging that Optimis can do this, he can't lose, he just can't lose this.
"Yeah, you're better then this, arn't'cha?" Jackrabbit spoke off in trying to make their commander be know as someone better then this.
"Please Optimis, we want you to fight this?" Jeremie pleaded in wanting the Maximal Commander to fight what is making him act this way. "Right you guys?" He turn to the others in wanting their support in this conversation here.
"Right!" The other human children nodded and responded to that agreement posthaste, as some of the other Maximals nodded their heads in agreeing.
"Optimis…" Aelita spoke from feeling much worried concerns for the one that was in charge, he wanted to help keep her safe from the Predacons, and now she fears that the enemy is trying to hurt him to get the Key by weakening the Maximals strength in leadership.
Optimis heard all those words from Cheetor and everyone else that had fate in him, but even so….it would not be enough to aid him through what he's fighting.
"It's too much?" Optimis spoke off from almost out of breath in trying to keep himself together while Rhinox held onto him to keep him from being rash. "I can't…Can't fight it?" He spoke off from waving his head to the sides in almost feeling himself gonna go crazy again. "Gruauaghh!" He let off a sign of some inner pain to lower his head, fighting what's making him be this way is hard on him. "Disarm my weapons! Huaugh-huagh…." Optimis held his head up to briefly give orders to his crew to disarm him, so he can't harm them when he goes berserk. "Lock me up!" He raised his head to almost struggle again in wishing to be locked up and kept out from harming his crew & friends.
"Huuagh?" Cheetor gasped at hearing those harsh orders in what they should do to their commander. The cat-bot lowers his head down to shake it, poor Optimis is in a real struggle & he rather be defenseless & locked up then to be on the loose and hurt someone he cares for, that be worse for the Maximal Commander…so long as that viral mine is on him.
"Come on Optimis." K-9 spoke in wanting his friend and commander to let them lead him to where he requested.
"Follow us." Wolfang issued in where they needed to take the berserk leader of theirs.
Soon the human children watched Wolfang, K-9, Razorbeast & Bonecrusher with the latter two being the muscles, to hold Optimis' arms so he wouldn't escape. This was not going to be pretty, and the gang knew it. Aelita and her friends felt much trouble, as did the younger Maximals like Cheetor and Jackrabbit, to seeing Optimis be treated like an enemy…then as their friend, was harsh.
Meanwhile, At The Predacon Base
Scorponok's Work Area
Now we focus on a scene that shows us inside the Predacon's ship; the Inferno, as we see a dark room with lots of strange equipment, screen displays and moving hand cranes. In the center was Scorponok apparently working in his area that was showing from the screens, digital data analyst about his Cyberbee & a DNA coding in what it's suppose to do as a viral mine. But from the looks of it, something was gently stomping it's way towards the Pred, as his visor was looking to his right side till…a T-REX's red eyes looked at him from the left side.
"DUAAaaeeehhh!" Scorponok yelped from being spooked in seeing someone was behind him, only to see it was Megatron in his Beast Mode.
"Ah, Scorponok?" Megatron spoke in addressing his Second-In-Command for his return recently. "Yess….I have been waiting for your report?" Megatron exclaimed in wanting to listen in on what Scorponok had to say after this Predacon went to do a 'special' mission task.
And by that, Megatron is referring to the viral mine Cyberbee that Scorponok planted on Optimis Primal.
"Wagh, yeah ugh, I stuck it to him, Megatron!" Scorponok turn to face Megatron, held his right claw to his chest, then pointed his left claw in stating what he did to Optimis with his Cyberbee. "And good!" He crosses his arms to lean back and bow a bit pridefully about what he did was a good job indeed.
"Hmm…excellent." Megatron hums a bit in being very pleased to hear the news, as he approaches closer to the Predacon here. "And the antivirus?" He asked off in wanting to know about a cure for the viral mine that Optimis would need to be rid of what he's become.
"Ah…Just one!" Scorponok held up his right claw in exclaiming that he only made one batch of the stuff. "Li-like you said?" Scorponok followed his leader's orders to make just one batch of the antivirus, and nothing more. "Right behind yah." He pointed his right claw in instructing the patient Megatron on where the so-called antivirus was at the moment.
And behind Megatron was what Scorponok described as the Antivirus; a rapier made injection-tech needle for holding the handle, the emerald liquid in a canister off the front handle side, and a claw grappler to grab and inject the antivirus into a Cybertronian's systems. It was held up by two pillar mech-hands to present it off for anyone to take it.
"Ahhh…" Megatron spoke with more please amusement, as Scorponok clipped his claws from seeing his leader observe the antivirus device. "Hmph-hmph-hmph-hmph, hmph-hmphmmm…." He chuckles under his breath in a wicked manner in seeing what is here is to laugh for under his reason. "Huuagh, by now? Optimis Primal has most assuredly? Exchanged his…eh?" As Megatron spoke in making a gloating manner, he stopped in thinking about something about Optimis. "Courage? For a nice…" He looked to Scorponok in stating what exchange has happened to change his enemy. "Cowardly Yellow Strive? Hugh, yes…?" As Megatron proclaimed the act that has fallen on Optimis, he believes that the Maximal Commander is now cowardly instead of courageous. "But he will not want to stay that way?" As he stated this out, his eyes were studying the antivirus very carefully. "Nooo…" He brings himself up in stating how even Optimis, would not want to be something he is not from the viral mine's work. "So when he leads his…" Soon Megatron turns around, Scorponok backs away while seeing his leader hold the antivirus in his T-rex size hands. "Misguided Mechanoids for a fuel raid for this antivirus, it will be their Final Battle?" He wiggled the antivirus in declaring how Optimis would act out to lead his team against them to retrieve what can cure the commander, but to the Predacons, that maybe a losing battle for the foes. "In the Beast Wars!" Megatron declared off in stating that once Optimis leads his team without his courage and makes mistakes as a coward, it'll lead the Maximals to their downfall, and the Predacons shall be victorious. "And with them long gone, the Key…shall be the final phase to collect, yes…" Megatron spoke off with a sly smile in just imagining, that with his enemies gone, the only prize left to claim will be Aelita, easy pickings.
Back At The Axelon
Holding Cell Area
We now see within the Axelon ship, a new area shows an open chamber with a brown color coating all around, some metal bar linings in a square formation with a spot of a wide-octagon window with diamond-shape edges from the line patterns. On the floors were circle metal platforms with little white lights, but one of them was active with red beams shooting upwards. This was the Axelon's Holding Cell Chamber for any prisoners aboard, and there was one in particular that was locked up; Optimis Primal.
"Briziziivhmmm!/URraughh!" Optimis bash his left arm against his beam bars that let off an energy pulse that suppress his escape. "Brizizivhmmm!/WRUUaaaugh!" Then he tried to do the right side of where he was, only to get the same results. "Gaaugh…." He stopped a moment to gasp off from another feeling of pain from what he's doing to himself. "HRUUAaughh…GAaughh!/Brizizizvhmmm!" Optimis tried to press against the beam bars with a roaring cry, but still nothing. "Hruagh-Guuaughh!/Brizizivhmmm!" Optimis yelped before quickly trying to bash against another, and this replay was getting old before he took a moment to stop.
Suddenly, Optimis stops his struggles when he looked behind him, up by the window view into the cell hold was victors: Cheetor, Jackrabbit, along with Aelita.
"Huuuagh-haah….What Do You WANT?" Optimis snapped off from looking behind his state to see by the window of the holding cell's chamber, he had visitors. "Gruaaghhhuugh!" He groans from his agony to lower himself a bit, obviously still being too rash against anyone that comes near him. "Cheetor…Cheetor…everyone…" Optimis still spoke out the names of those that were away from him while he was contained, as by the window of the holding cell was like a speaker to allow those outside to speak with quarantine crew members. "I'm sorry? Hugh…." Optimis spoke from apologizing for his ill-manner rash behavior, he shouldn't have been so rough. "It's hard to Control?" He lifted up his arms in struggling himself from going all berserk with a ominous humming viral mine bug on his chest making him act this way. "Guagh-Haugh-Gwuuagh…." He lets off more exhausted breaths from being so out of it from not resting himself and just beating around a bush, sorta speak.
Cheetor shook his head in seeing that poor Optimis was in such a terrible state. Jackrabbit & Aelita could understand the young cadet that knows his commander longer, seeing someone you care for and respect in such a state is hard for some.
"Is there any of the 'Old' Optimis lift?" Cheetor asked off in asking for hope through the speaker phone, that his old commander is not all gone in being a berserker.
"Yes?" Optimis spoke off from holding his chest with the left hand, answering off the question. "Some…?" Optimis looks up from the ground in saying there was still 'some' of his old self inside him, even if he's behaving like a berserker.
"That's a good thing right? That his usual demeanor is there?" Jackrabbit asked off the question to Cheetor and Aelita, hoping they say something about this.
"Yes, but having two different personalities is hard to control? Even for someone like Optimis?" Aelita spoke with much concerns over seeing that Optimis having a new personality from the viral mine is making it hard for him to control it and be himself.
"Don't let it go Big-Bot?" Cheetor spoke off against the speaker phone in trying to encourage his leader. "Don't let this, 'thing', tweak ya out of control!?" He wiggled off his head in wanting Optimis to not let the Cyberbee viral mine make the bot lose himself to it.
"I…Don't…Know?" Optimis at first spoke calm, but let off a loud struggle voice in holding himself together. "If I can.../Trizizzizipvhmm…." Optimis signs a bit from that act while his head twitched from the viral mine trying to make him go berserk. "Beat it?" He issued off that this was not an easy thing to overcome. "Hugh…huuagh, huagh…huaagh/Trizizphvmm…." He breaths some of his exhausted actions while another twitch effect shook his head again. "But I think I can.../Trizizivhmmm…" Optimis tried to speak off from another twitch of his head, as he was speaking of what to do. "Adapt to it?" He ushered out one way to instead of being controlled, he needs to learn to go along with it. "Huagh.../Trizizvhmm…" He lets off a sign while another twitch shook his head, but was still going on. "Maybe hold this Aggression down? Hugh…" Optimis looked up with a focus face in how to handle himself in his new state, before taking a moment to breath. "Even use it…hugh..to our…Hugh, advantage." Optimis lean his head down, but slowly looked up in offering a one solution to which, he uses his new 'berserker' attitude, to aid them…somehow?
"Really?" Cheetor responded off with a sound of being happy to hear this. "Why I knew it!" He let off a sound of a cheery sound of his voice, happy to learn of this news. "You ain't too tough to be dropped by any techno-flu!" Cheetor exclaimed from seeing that Optimis was indeed tough to not let the enemy take him down just yet. "Smack!" He then lifted and smack his hands against the glass frame of the window to the cell holding chamber. "Let's do it!" He narrow his eyes in becoming serious, seeing it's time to help Optimis out of this state and put this plan of using the 'berserker' personality to other uses.
Just as Cheetor was leaving the spot to head over to the slide doors to the cell holding chamber, his friends nearby had other concerns in what they saw happen.
"Wait a second, are we just gonna barge in there, and unleash him?" Jackrabbit spoke off in asking Cheetor if letting Optimis out, after ordering them to lock him up, is even such a good idea.
"Come on Jackrabbit, if anyone can do the impossible, Optimis can." Cheetor spoke in being the go-getter in having fate that Optimis can beat what's happening to him.
"Well, the idea of using what he's acting now to help, does make sense in where he'll focus it all, but…?" Aelita rub her chin to approach her friends, yet still couldn't come to terms if they should be acting now; or think about this more?
"Guys, we have to trust Optimis, he's been through worst, and so he'll pull it off." Cheetor spoke in trying to get these two to see his point of view for their commander. "Please you guys, you should understand me, Optimis has helped look after us in this war, and we can't just give up on him from what's happening now?" To the young cadet, Optimis is more then their commander, he's a friend they can count on who looks after everyone, and that person needs them now more then ever.
"Hugh, well, I'll give? I'll help deactivate them force beams." Jackrabbit signed in giving in to Cheetor's will of the debate, and moves out of the way to let them pass through the sliding doors.
"Cheetor, if something happens because of this, then it's not yours to blame?" Aelita pats Cheetor on his right arm with a calm & a little smiley face in assuring her friend that what happens, won't be on him alone. "I know that if Jeremie were acting like this, I wanna have fate he's still the same inside." The pink haired girl felt like if Jeremie were to be in the situation Optimis is, she want to believe their was still the same genius boy's will inside fighting what's controlling him.
"Thanks Aelita, that means a lot coming from you." Cheetor smiles to nod in being happy to hear the Key girl say such comforting words. As this little group makes their way to the holding cell chamber's door before entering….
Meanwhile, In The Command Center
We return our focus back in the command center where we see right in the middle of the center console table, where the remaining Maximals & human children were already trying to debate something brought up in their discussion.
"What do you mean?" Rhinox spoke off in asking something he's heard from Dinobot. "Use it to our advantage?" The Maximal Scientist was puzzled in how the Ex-Pred was saying about using the viral mine attached to Optimis, for their own use instead of it being against their favor.
"Even we're not following that Dinobot?" Snarl shrug off his shoulders, what was Dinobot actually getting at.
"Optimis…" Dinobot spoke forth in getting the attention in what he's trying to say. "Is a War-Machine!" He addressed off in how what Optimis has become is thanks to the enemy's poor use in turning him into something he isn't; a berserker. "I say we point him in the right direction." He pointed his left hand's index finger out in stating they lead Optimis to go somewhere. "Give him…Full Armament! And then…" The others were hearing what the Ex-Pred was suggesting they do in giving Optimis lots of stuff in preparations for battle. "Unleash him upon the Predacons!" He waved off his right hand in stating they use Optimis to fight off the enemy with his new berserker persona. "If we want the antivirus? That! Is the only way to get it." Dinobot concluded that the best way to retrieve what they need, they must use Optimis' new state, to attack the enemy to seize what can help their leader.
"Hey, hey-hey, heeeey!" Rattrap held up his hands to wave them out in trying to stop the discussion here for a moment. "Eeehh, normally, I would 'love' to see Preds get their little skin tossed right back at them?" Rattrap turn to Rhinox & the others in waving his right thumb off in liking to see how the enemy gets beat by their own handy work. "But you're forgetting, just one little thing?" Rattrap turn to Dinobot in waving off a right index finger to claim there was something a miss, to using Optimis as the assault unit in the plan here.
"Oooohhhh?" Dinobot spoke somewhat amused by Rattrap's pondering question of his plan. "Gussssuuaaghh…And that would be?" He took a deep breath to expel it and ask off in what the problem is of the plan he's hatched.
"Optimis would get blow to scrap?" Rhinox issued off to wave off his right hand, showing that he didn't like what would happen to Optimis during the event of their stage attack. "Big Problem!" Rhinox declared off that if Optimis was unleashed, he may cause some damage, sure, but he would eventually be totaled by the enemy without aid or rest.
"The Predacons would see him, and do everything to scrap him." K-9 stated about how the Preds would recognize Optimis and try to stop him.
"Chances of making it out alive, are slim?" Wolfang issued how that the chances to get by with that tactic alone, is crazy.
"Well…grugrugruaaghhh…" Dinobot took a moment to snarl off his breathing in hearing this issue of complaint. "That depends on your view point?" He shrug off to say that in his view with a hidden sly smile, it's not something too concerning…for him that is in having Optimis fight off all the battle to soften up the enemy.
"Hey-hey-hey-hey! Shut Up!" Rattrap interrupt to shut Dinobot up with a frowny face in not liking how the Ex-Pred didn't feel about how the situation feels if they lost Optimis in letting him loose in enemy territory.
"Actually…" A sudden voice interrupts that makes some stomping nosies that makes Rattrap gasp in recognizing the said voice. "Gurhum…." Suddenly, the voice clears his throat to get everyone in the room's attention to see…Optimis coming in with Cheetor, Jackrabbit and Aelita. "That's…not a bad idea?" Optimis spoke off in stating that what he's heard of himself going into the enemy stronghold wasn't a complete terrible idea usage of his state.
"Optimis?" Yumi & Sissi, and some of the other Maximals responded in surprise to see their commander, out of where he was held in a cell.
"Not just him?" William issued off in seeing there was more then just Optimis' appearance, but others with him.
"What's happening here?" Ulrich asked off in what was going on, and that Cheetor, Jackrabbit and Aelita needs to explain it.
"What do you think, we let him out." Jackrabbit stated off in how this looks to the others.
"What? Aelita, is this true?" Jeremie yelped in hearing what the youngest Maximal just admitted; they let Optimis out.
"Well, Cheetor insisted, and well…it just came to this." Aelita shrug off her shoulders that what happened just came from a sudden moment of the situation.
"Cheetor?" Rhinox spoke of with a stern face to the young cadet. "What have you & the others done?" He asked off in why Cheetor had to drag Optimis out of his holding cell, with aid from Jackrabbit & Aelita, especially when the commander is not at all himself.
"It's gonna be okay." Cheetor held up his right hand while his left was resting of Optimis' right shoulder, but the guy seem to lower himself in trying to state together. "Optimis has gotten it under his thumb." The cat-bot issued in what their commander is doing right now, is handling the viral mine's attempt to make him go berserk. "Tell him, Big-Bot!" Cheetor smirk proudly to pat Optimis' backside in having confidence that Optimis can let the others know everything is under control.
"Gaugh-Huuagh…." Optimis yelps from another heavy breathing moment from his condition before speaking. "I-I think I can do this?" Optimis issued off about him being able to do the task which involves him and his berserker persona act. "By channeling this new 'fighting' instinct?" He held up his hands, grip them in declaring that maybe with enough 'will' to uphold what he's been given. "We can storm their base." He shook his arms with his fist down in declaring about using his new found strength to storm the Predacon stronghold. "And…with your help?" Optimis stops to speak a bit more calmly in asking for assistance from his team. "Huuagh…obtain the antivirus." Optimis finished off stating that with his crew's aid, they can get the antivirus to cure him of what's become of him. "Trizizivhmpuvhmm…" Suddenly, another shaking head twitch reaction occurred from the omnibus humming from the Cyberbee stuck to his chest.
"Yehaaa! Piece of basic programing?" Cheetor responded with a smile and shrug up his arms in seeing this plan was easy as pie. "We blast our way in to Scorponok's lab for the antivirus." He declared with a swing of his right elbow in what they do by busting into Pred HQ. "All we want is to get Big-Bot here back to normal." Cheetor wave his head to let the others know that they all want the same thing, to return their commander to his normal un-berserk self.
"Yeeeaaah?" Rattrap responded with his eyes narrow and sounding a bit remote about this propose option. "And daaaugh…What if he goes Ape-Slag on us?" The rodent asked off in wondering if their was a chance, that Optimis instead uses his berserker self to target his own team instead of the enemy; what then?
"Hmmm….?" Dinobot rubbed his chin in thought of hearing this debated matter. "Fine by me?" He waved off the right hand to look at Optimis' side of where those that wanted the Maximal Commander to go off on the scale assault, even if the guy goes a little wonky, the Ex-Pred has no problem about it at all.
"Hay…." Optimis spoke in a strange tone in getting attention here while the ominous humming noises from the bug was still active on the bot. "They made me what I am today." As Optimis was gripping his hands, head twitching, but was degrading what the enemy has gone and done to him. "So I 'figure' it's time to say; Thank you!" Optimis was looking really serious and twitching of his head didn't seem to good, like he was gonna go wild at any minute. "NOW!" He snap off in stating there is no time, he's gonna show the Preds his term of thanks, by letting them have it. "YEAAaahhh!" Optimis roared out a battle cheer and raised his arms up in the air. "POWwvhmmmm!" Suddenly without warning, his left wrist cannon went off which made Cheetor nearby, along with Jackrabbit & Aelita raise up their arms to duck from this sudden action.
"Fruspvhmmm.../BAMGrufvhmm…" Suddenly, that shot cause by Optimis destroyed what was an alarm light, which would mean…
"Hughh.../Heeehhh?" Rhinox & Rattrap gasped in what just happened, but not before the siren lights went off.
"WWoooouvhhmmmmm-Wouvhhmmmmm…." As the siren noises were going off, Optimis was looking around in seeing the red lights flash off along with the noise. From Optimis' view, the flashing lights above the ceiling of the room were going off while making noises all around non-stop.
"ARrrughhhh!" Optimis grip his fist in sounding pretty angry about now. "Stupid-Slagging-Circuit-Systems?" He actually cursed off against these blasted alarms going off around here. "Huugh….SHUT UP!" He snarl off before waving his arms up in snapping that the alarms shut it, they're too noisy for him.
"Huuagh…." Cheetor gasped in seeing Optimis lose a bit of his temper like that, it wasn't a good sign.
"Woah, that's a bit much?" Armordillo yelped in how much Optimis is truly letting his anger issues get out of hand.
"Optimis, try to calm…" Razorbeast was about to help calm his commander, but that was way off now.
"Powvhm-Poqwvhm-Powvhm,…." And then Optimis aim his left wrist cannons up to fire off three shots. "Bam-Bam, BOOmfruvhmmm!" And while two blasted some parts of the ceiling, one managed to hit the alarm siren system. "Powvhmm-Powvhm-Powvhm…." Optimis continued to fire off his assault like there was no stopping him.
"Guwaaghh…/Huahgh…." Rattrap & Dinobot looked to the other from the table with a short gasp, and soon choose to duck away. "Bammgruvhmmm!" Good thing too, considering one of Optimis' wild shots almost got them, but hit the wall behind the two.
"Shield the humans!" Wolfang shouted off to those with shields, like him and K-9, to gather the kids & Jackrabbit to get in the hallway and out of this blast-range event.
"Powvhm-Powvhm, Powvhm-Powvhm…." Optimis was shooting all over the command center while anyone was either hiding under the console center table or in the hallway.
"Ehh…Eeehhhh?" Rattrap peeked his head from below the table, but then yelped to duck it back under to dodge another shot from Optimis. "Bammgruvhmmm!" Which blew up a part of a console computer table that the rodent was behind.
"Bam-Bam, Boom-Boom, Powvhm-Powvhmm!" Pretty much, most of the system where the Maximals work was getting a bit blow to bits or busted from the rouge commander's shots. "Powvhmmm…Bamgruvhmm!" Finally, Optimis fired another shot up and that one destroyed another siren light system above. "Boom-Boom-Boom, Boomvhmmm!" But more then that, the guy was practically blowing up more of the Center Command Room then anyone would have known.
"RAARRRrughhhh!" Optimis let off a battle cry from his raging tone in taking out what he wanted, it appears he's having a hard time with his berserker side having more control over him.
"He's gone ballistic all over again?" Jackrabbit shouted off over the noise in what's happening here.
"He's about as out of control as me….only this is too much?" Bonecrusher stated off in being calm, he usually just goes crazy on an enemy, but not on his leader in this situation.
"We got to stop him, before he hurts himself?" Rhinox turned to Rattrap when they hid under the table, issuing with a serious concern for stopping Optimis' behavior.
"Deeeh!" Rattrap yelped up from what he had just heard his pal here say to him. "HIM!?" The rodent exclaimed off with a turned head in the directing of who's blasting at them. "Hugh, try Us?" Rattrap sarcastically pointed his right thumb in stating that the ones that could be hurt is not Optimis going wild, but them instead.
"GRuuaaghh!" Rhinox soon came up from the console table in watching the action of Optimis misfiring acts. "MRUUWaaaughhh!" Then the big Maximal made a rush with a serious face in what he's gotta do now.
As Rhinox made a charge straight for Optimis' berserk shooting act before...
"CLUmpvhmm!/GWUuuagh!" There was a crash noise of metal along with Optimis making a yelp after Rhinox tackled him.
"GRruaghh…RAArrughhh!" Optimis struggled with Rhinox lay his body in a kneeling pose and tried to keep Optimis' hands down while Cheetor came over to pin the guy's right foot.
"Keep his arm down!" Cheetor issued with concern in what they need to do in keeping Optimis from firing off anymore shots.
"GRrrughh-AArrughhh!" Optimis was struggling to get himself off of his crew pinning him down, even Rattrap came to pin his left foot down.
"Watch that laser!" Rhinox shouted back to those aiding him to watch out for the laser feature Optimis also has.
"Quickly, we all need to help pin him down!" K-9 issued, as he, Armordillo, Razorbeast & Snarl prepared to approach to aid in stopping Optimis.
"GRAguhh!" Optimis growled from his struggles, but his head fell back on the ground. "RUUARrguhh…RRAARRRrughhh!" Optimis lets off a more roaring growl noise in looking way more aggravated then ever before…he force himself free.
"GAaughh!" Suddenly from Rhinox's yelp, he, Rattrap, Cheetor & any other bot were kicked or pushed off by the stronger Maximal Commander.
"Gaaughh?" Rattrap yelped from his bottom landing on the floor to skid a bit back.
"GWwaughh…." Rhinox yelped from his chest smacking across the floor before he stopped.
Most of the other Maximals were thrown back against the floors or caught by those that stood by with the human children behind them against this action.
"GRARrugh-ARRrughhh!" Optimis was heard making another battle cry while the others looked back at their commander gone over board now. "HRuuaughhh!" He lets off a sign of a moan to get on his knees from being freed from his pin down state. "Huagh-Huuagh, huagh, Huuaughhh…" He was taking much breaths from his heavy breathing while getting back on his feet again. "You-You don't understand?" Optimis spoke like the others were not following his crazy state. "Heh-heeh…." He took some breathing moments from feeling himself being more exhausted and from the ominous humming of the viral mine on him too. "It's like Dinobot says?" Optimis addressed off in what Dinobot spoke earlier, even his direction was to the Ex-Pred, much to anyone else's' surprise to hear him say this. "We gotta hit the Preds the only way they understand." Dinobot was left stump shock and turned to the others to make a sheepish shrug off shoulder of his right hand, as if knowing all eyes are on him for what Optimis is saying. "Hard!…Fast!" Optimis ushered out the tough statements in how they gotta deal with the enemy. "And Right where it Hurts!" Soon he let his right hand get something behind him, as he issued this declaring part of what to do to the enemy. And soon, Optimis brought out his right hand with his saber weapon blade & his two missile launchers on his shoulders, looking ready for battle. "Huagh…uuuaghh…." He lets out more breathing from sounding almost like he's gone off the deep end.
"Huuahg!" Cheetor gasped in seeing and hearing Optimis say such things, it was not like him at all.
"Huuagh, but if your cautious circuits are overriding your courage?" Optimis issued off to look around his Maximals in knowing why his crew are having cautious thoughts about this. "Hugh…That's NATURAL!" He yelled out and swung his blade in seeing how everyone is being weighted down by caution, it's natural really…all except in his case. "Huuagh, I Don't Need You!" He let off a sneer remark in how he doesn't need anyone here to help him in this task to attack the enemy. "Huagh, I'll handle this myself." He ushered off with a serious and mean demeanor of handling everything, the attack on the enemy, the antivirus; all on his own.
Soon Optimis had his mouth cover plate rise up to be the final thing in preparing him for combat. Next, he was stomping off towards the right side of where the was.
"Huuaghh…." Rattrap gasped in seeing what Optimis was doing, but more then what else he saw. "Eeehhh?" He let off a puzzled response of his breath in seeing where Optimis went to.
"Truspvhmmm…." Soon Optimis was in the hatch, as the glass door slides down over him in looking ready for battle. "Truspvhmm…" Soon the hatch's floor was bringing him down to the outside part of the base.
"Optimis!" Cheetor cried out with his grip hands in shouting over his commander just leaving like that.
Outside The Maximal Base
We soon see Optimis exit the hatch, jumped off of it to rush over near the Trans-Warp Gate controls nearby.
"Get me transported to the Predacon Base in Mt Kilimanjaro, I wanna surprise them with my entrance!" Optimis issued off a stern force of demand in where he wants to go.
"Beep-Beep!" The system of the Warp Gate was responding to the question, however… "Warning, Using Trans Warp Gate To Get Within Close To Inside Predacon Ship, Is illogical. Shielding Frequency Is cutting Off Such Action." A male voice of Sentinel responded that such travel could not be possible, the enemy's ship is shielded to prevent anyone from teleporting inside.
"Then get me as close outside their base, you Piece of Junk!" Optimis snapped off angrily to the system to get him to the enemy base even if it's furthest away, but just close to the enemy ship.
"Beep-Beep!" The system was hearing this and was responding to the new issue of an order of processing the task. "Acknowledge!" Sentinel's voice responded to this demand without arguing, as it was acceptable.
"Finally, now to get going!" Optimis signed off with a grudge-like tone, as he now gets himself ready for his time to go into the heart of enemy territory.
"Fruspvhmmm…Powvhmmm…." Optimis was flying off away from the Axelon after exiting it, and was heading up over the hidden dexterity of the mountain where he flew over other canyon rocks ahead while it was the dead of night with the two moons in the sky. "Truspvhm-WRuspvhmm…." Soon he entered through an active Warp Gate he finally made come out in where he wanted it, and that transported him towards his location before the thing vanished completely.
Back Inside The Axelon
"Big-Bot?" Cheetor whispered off in calling Optimis that has gone and left….completely changed. "Nooo?" He muttered to look down in disbelief, Optimis can't be gone and just go off on his own on a solo suicide mission, but in reality, he did.
"He's gonna get himself turn to scrap?" Jackrabbit exclaimed off with much worried concerns in what Optimis just pulled was very risky.
"We have to go after him." Aelita exclaimed to her friends that they have to follow after Optimis before he reaches the enemy base.
"No, you kids and Jackrabbit will stay here to guard the base." Wolfang issued with a stern expression in what they have to do, fortify their base with those staying behind.
"Awww, I wanted to join the fun?" Jackrabbit moans and groans that she got the shortest straw; again.
"More importantly, we need a strategy here?" Jeremie explained to the bots that they have to come up with a plan to help them out. "Hay, where's Cheetor?" The genius boy looked around, but saw no sign of his cheeta friend, why?
"He ran down the hall pretty fast?" Ulrich pointed in the direction of the hallway where they are.
"He seemed very much tense?" William stated in what expression he saw the cat-bot give off.
"It's understandable, especially when he saw what Optimis just did." Yumi nods with a worried face, poor Cheetor must be so frustrated in what's become of their Maximal Commander.
"Who's gonna try to help him?" Sissi asked off in which of them can help Cheetor in this time of need.
"Teeeh, count me out, the boss-monkey usually does that…if Optimis was himself?" Rattrap waved off his left hand to state this, but signed in seeing that Optimis isn't himself to help the young cadet get over his troubles.
"Hmmm…I'll go? The rest of you, try to prepare the Trans-Warp Gate for our leave." Dinobot spoke off suddenly in issuing that he'll go after Cheetor, and talk to him while the others get ready for their own departure.
The others were speechless to hear this while the Ex-Pred was going down the hallway.
"Good luck Dinobot?" Aelita spoke silently in wishing Dinobot the best of luck to help Cheetor in this stressful moment.
Meanwhile With Cheetor
In A Storage Quarter Area
The scene opens up to where Cheetor was in some quarters spot of the ship, and was…stocking himself up on weaponry. Yes, some of the cat-bot's Quasar Cannon Blasters, followed by him wearing a sash belt from his right bottom waist to his left shoulder that held grenades, in his right hand was his Quasar Blaster followed by a small gun and attached to the wrist was a mini-wrist cannon. This young Maximal cadet was giving himself a heavy arms-work of armament while there were other weapons behind him. And during Cheetor's stocking plans, Dinobot had enter from an open slide door to see what the young cadet was doing. Even metal attach pads on his legs where he placed some guns on himself.
"This…is NOT the way! Cheetor?" Dinobot cuts in to wave off his right hand in stating what Cheetor is doing isn't the right way to do things.
"We gotta Back Him Up!" Cheetor looked to Dinobot to snap off in protesting about them helping Optimis who's left for a dangerous mission…alone.
"It is a Doomed Mission." Dinobot waved up his arms down to his waist in declaring what is happening to be doomed if they go. "There's no strategy?" He waved his right hand to point to the cat-bot in why the mission is a doom one, there is no planning on how to do things. "Just…Blind Aggression!?" Dinobot held his grip hands to shake them in stating that the mission Optimis is about to perform is nothing but sheer reckless actions that will have more consequences without a plan.
"Maybe that's what we've been needing?" Cheetor looked back to Dinobot to glare in stating this dry remark fact of what they've truly been needing in their fights. "A little less Brain, and a little more GUTS!" Cheetor declared off to remotely state while he took out a grenade from his left hand on the 'guts' part.
"We must try to think what Optimis…" Dinobot spoke to wield his right index finger up in trying to have them think what Optimis would do, however… "Grugrugaahhh….the 'Old' Optimis." He stopped to breath and then correct himself in 'which' Optimis personality they are wanting to recall. "Would do?" From Dinobot's point of view, they need to think how their old commander would do things before he became effected by the viral mine.
"Well, eh-eh, and that would be? Wha-wha…" Cheetor had his head down and then looked to Dinobot, shrug up his left hand in wanting to know; what 'would' the Optimis they know so well do in this situation.
"Hmmm….?" Dinobot turn away to hum to himself in thinking this carefully with a frowny type face while he brought up his right index's finger to speak. "Grugruaaaugh…negotiation?" Dinobot slowly spatted out while gripping his right hand in proclaiming their option in what the old Optimis would do now; negation with the enemy.
Meanwhile, At Predacon HQ
The scene opens up to where we see Terrorsaur working around a computer console screen. He was also with Scorponok while coming up behind them was Megatron, still in his Beast Mode while the other two were in their Robot Modes.
"Got a Maximal type beam transmission coming in?" Terrorsaur reported this out to Megatron's presence in what the screen was detecting from the radar waves. "It's a little garble by the Energon fields, but…?" He was shaking his head off about how it's hard for the signal to get through to theirs, but…
"Bring it up!" Megatron issued off suddenly to Terrorsaur in wanting to listen to the transmission. "Yess….." From his voice of not sounding so surprise, it maybe something 'interesting' about the Maximals current situation.
"Beep-beep, beep!" Soon Terrorsaur pushed some buttons to begin bringing up the beam transmission, as the screen was starting to get fizzed out with a red line in the middle, waiting for someone to transmit their voice.
"Predacon base! Come In!" Cheetor's voice spoke off from the screen that was transmitting his voice.
"Hmm….Pussycat?" Megatron hum to himself with a strange amusement while he addressed who this Maximal voice was. "Ye-es-s-s-s?" He tapped his claws together in remembering the young Maximal cadet all too well. "State your business?" He boldly spoke with a strict tone in what Cheetor wants trying to make contact with Predacons.
Outside Near Mt. Kilimanjaro
Near Forest Just Before The Volcanic Area
We see Cheetor in Robot Mode, his left hand on his chest to transmit a com-link, as he was outside in the part of night where the scenery behind him was mostly forest and rocky canyons & mountain paths.
"Listen up! You miss-wired Metalheads?" Cheetor boldly spoke off in wanting the enemies to hear him out good in what he has to say. "Ye-You botched up your little attitude adjustment on Optimis?" He issued off the situation on what Optimis has become while looking over a ledge from the greeny where pass the mountains, their lie a firry area where the Predacon territory is located in. "He's flaming towards you on the Red-Eye Express! And he's loaded for Main-Frame Combat!" Cheetor issued off the situation with Optimis being fully armed and fully ready to let his berserker side get ready to 'trash' some Preds with no holds bound. "So what do you say you 'Fork' over that antivirus before you get VAPPED!?" Cheetor responded off with a cocky attitude in proposing that the Preds give up the antivirus before Optimis gets there and shreds them to pieces.
Back Where The Predacons Are In The Room
The news was delivered, and while Terrorsaur and Scorponok were present, Megatron leans down to speak through the transmission from the screen.
"Any Renegade Maximal, who BLUNDERS into our base? Will…" Megatron was addressing off the matter that if any Maximals that wanted to come to them without a plan, then that left one option left. "Not Survive!" He exclaimed off that when they are through, the Preds shall finish off the renegade Maximal that is Optimis without a second thought. "Megatron out." Soon Megatron spoke off with a sly please tone in ending this conversation as it stands.
"Crusvhmm…" Soon the transmission was cut off from just around then, but while that was concluded; 'other' matters soon earn some attention.
"Incompetent Bug?" Megatron snapped off to look at Scorponok, as he saw his leader while Terrorsaur watched the T-Rex…raise his left leg.
"Hugh?" Scorponok gasped in surprise to see what was about to come to him from his own blunder of what Optimis has become. "KIckfruvhmmm!/ GAaugh!/Cluspvhmmm…." Soon Megatron kicked Scorponok that yelped out a cry, as he was sent across the room to smack against something unseen. Didn't take a genius to see that Megatron was clearly displease to hear that Optimis was not a coward from the viral mine, but something else to just be a reckless renegade coming towards them without being aware of…the consequences.
Back With Cheetor's Spot
We return to where it's the outside area of the enemy's territory where anyone, Maximals for example, could be near without getting to close to the Predacons base. But right now, Cheetor did not look to please of his results in negotiating with the enemy.
"Beast Mode." Cheetor signed to drop his shoulders and shake his head, as he spoke in wanting to revert to his other form after his moment to negotiation failed. Soon Cheetor changed back into his Beast Mode to look very much down in staring at the ground's grass without much of his cheery attitude.
Soon where Cheetor stood looking over the spot across from the forest plains to the mountains & pass a river, was the volcanic area where the Predacons base is located, and inside a mountain hidden from human eyes. But right now, the other Maximals were approaching Cheetor in their Beast Modes; except for Jackrabbit who stayed behind with the human children to guard the base…just in case of trouble.
"Ehh…well?" Rattrap came up and spoke to Cheetor in pondering how things went with the 'negotiation' of things, however...
"It didn't work?" Cheetor moaned out in stating with a frowny expression to the ground in what's happened. "All we did was 'tip' them off? And now they're gonna be waiting for him?" Cheetor complained off to wave his head to the left and then the right to the rat in each sentence of what's bound to happen to Optimis' situation now when he reaches the enemy. "You and your 'Bright' Ideas?" Cheetor glared to grit his teeth in addressing to 'one' bot that gave him the thought of negotiation while Rattrap followed in who the bot in question was…Dinobot himself.
"Grugrugueraaghhh…" Dinobot took a moment to catch his breath in hearing this to compensate the matter. "It would appear that only…Optimis can truly think like Optimis?" Dinobot stated off in seeing that if anyone can be like Optimis of who he was, it's the Maximal Commander, which not many of them can act out to well alone. "Huuuagh, for the rest of us?" He turns his head to slowly begin to speak of what the matter for all of them shall be left with. "We must now…" Many were listening, and awaiting what the Ex-Pred was going to say about them. "Think on our own?" He tilted his head in stating that for them, they may not think like Optimis, but they can sure be smart enough to come up with ideas on their own in what to do here.
"It's hard to say, but he's right?" Armordillo nods to state that he agrees with what Dinobot has pointed out.
"Dinobot being right, how many marks would we get from that?" Razorbeast spoke off in finding the Ex-Pred being right on something is very much a big shocker.
"We're not keeping scores of such things?" Wolfang shook his head in reminding his comrades that they aren't keeping a score in who gets what around here.
"Right, so we all know what to do from here on out?" K-9 nods while reminding the others around here in what they'll 'be' doing from now on.
"Yeah, while Optimis makes some noises, we rush in to help draw out more troopers to us." Bonecrusher nods to state off that they help Optimis cut down the larger scale of enemies by acting like the bait of a larger attack squadron.
"All while someone goes to retrieve the antivirus without letting them know." Snarl stated off in what they'll be doing while still battling the enemy.
"Then let's get moving, we got a long way to go from here." Rhinox issued off from seeing an active Trans-Warp Portal open nearby. They had to go through that to skip a few extra meters to reach near the enemy base as much as possible, but otherwise, they'll need luck to get by this one.
Inside Mt Kilimanjaro
Directly Outside The Inferno
We see someone flying downwards towards the Predacon ship, and it so happened to be Optimis Primal. He managed to reach the place by Warp Gate, fly some miles to enter from the volcano top and is now dive bombing. Which as we see his serious face, brought forth his mouth mask cover, narrow his eyes for this stunt.
"Powvhm-Powovhm!" Then Optimis fired off two shots of his missiles from off his shoulders. "Bam-Bam, Boomgruvhmmm!" Suddenly as he was diving onward, his attack impacted the Inferno's outside shell that made some explosive stuff appear. "FRusvhmmm….CLUsp-Prufvhmmm!" Suddenly, Optimis just ram himself right through the outer ship's haul spot after weakening it.
Inside By Scorponok's Lab Area
We see Blackarachnia within the laboratory area where Scorponok performed his viral mine work, she felt the shaking that hit the Predacon base.
"Hmmm?" The She-spider hummed to herself from looking around and feeling the vibration, and knew; someone has just come to crash the party.
"Beep-beep, beep-beep…." Blackarachnia was tapping a few keys on the screen to try to isolate the cause and what the situation was.
During the moment, Megatron came up from behind the shadows while in his Beast Mode while Scorponok on the right & Terrorsaur on the left, both latters in Robot Mode, followed their leader.
"Report." Megatron demanded out in wanting to know, what the situation was and what was going on.
"Three direct hits." Blackarachnia turn to Megatron in issuing the three hits on their base, two by Optimis' missiles & the latter; himself. "Outer haul has been breached." She waved up her pincer hands in stating that their outer-haul of the ship has been breached from the outside by an unknown force.
"Bleep-bleep!" The She-Spider went back to work on the console that was now preparing something for those here.
"Tarantulas." Megatron shouted off in approaching the console computer screen in speaking by com-link workings that are active now. "Destroy the intruder!" He gave out his order with a demanding tone in wanting whoever was here, to be destroyed; clearly knowing that it was Optimis from Cheetor's earlier calling to them in being noted.
Back At Optimis' Break-In Point
We return to where Optimis managed to break in the outer hall part of the Inferno, as alarms with red siren nosies & flashes were going off.
"GRruaughhhh!" Optimis soon was standing up from his knee position of his crash entrance, as he looked unbothered by what happened to him. "Ummmph?…Ummmph?" Suddenly, Optimis was looking from left to right with a serious face in trying to tell, which way should he go from here.
And so without much else reasoning, he took his left direction, while a squeaky metal haul behind him was twisting a bit from being broken out of place & just barely was attached to the ship.
"Clufrupvhm…." Suddenly, as Optimis was going down a corridor hall, something dropped in back of him; Tarantulas. "Keheheh-hahahah…." Tarantulas made a wicked cackle in seeing his prey before him.
But just as Tarantulas was getting his weapon out, Optimis stopped mid-way when he felt; some foe's presence. "Gruaugh…GRRuuuvhhmmm-URrrvhmmm!" He let off a growling noise before Optimis turn around to see Tarantulas was behind him.
"Teheheh-hahahah-eehhh!" Tarantulas cackled off wickedly at his foe's slow realization, as he took aim before… "PRrufruoopvhmm…." He suddenly shot off his hook missile right towards the undodging Maximal rouge. "Frusussuvhmmm…" The fired attack was traveling at a good speed, and it looked like it would hit, and….
"GUuuaaugh!" Suddenly, Optimis did an unexpected stunt by using his left hand to catch the anchor hook missile that looked like it jabbed into his palm. After Optimis saw this, he lowered his hand down to stare with a stern face at the attacker. From the ominous humming of the viral mine, Optimis held his right hand with the index finger to his stern frown face, swung it as if saying 'you shouldn't have done that' kinda sign.
And soon, Optimis started to walk up towards Tarantulas with making stomping noises off the ground.
Tarantulas meanwhile lowered his weapon in seeing it did nothing to stop Optimis. So the spider abandon that tactic on the ground, and prepared his secondary weapon on hand. "BangBangBangBang-Bang-Bang-Bangvhmm…." He was firing his rapid machine gun spider legs by aiming them directly at the target. "Thopwvhm-Thopwvhm-Thopwvhm-Thopwvhm….." Optimis was still marching up in the line of onslaught firing without stop, as his serious determine expression never waver even with punctured dent marks were appearing all over him. Tarantulas was still firing from seeing Optimis wasn't stopping, but it matter little cause…Optimis was finally near the Pred who stopped attacking him, and held up his arms in expecting the worst to come.
"GRUUAArrughh!" Optimis in turn, growled to smack Tarantulas against the wall side, and let the Pred slide down a bit almost like he lost conscious. But then Optimis brought up the hook grappler the spider fired from below while the Pred's feet dangle off the ground. Tarantulas saw Optimis' mean face, and the edge of his spiky hook in looking at what Optimis planned to do next… As it was brought down, Tarantulas began to quiver in fear before…
"STABFruvhmmm!" Before without warning, the Pred heard a stab, and that meant one thing. "GUAAaaughhhh!…GeheeehEEEehheehehh…." Tarantulas lowered his head down to gasp all of a sudden, and was yelping out in pain.
Soon Optimis was making his feet stomp across the floor to leave Tarantulas behind. Which while the alarms were going off, we see that Optimis left Tarantulas hanging where he was lifted, as the Maximal had JABBED the spider's own hook end weapon into the guy's gut while the front end was keeping him pin to the wall. Tarantulas tried to use his pincer arms to pull himself free, but it would be no use in getting himself out of this mess without aid. But boy, from what Optimis' new personality shows is one thing; Hardcore!
Back In The Same Gathered Area
We now return to where Blackarachnia was reading out the results from Scorponok's equipment and screens about their intruder situation.
"He's inside." Blackarachnia turn to Megatron in pointing out that the Maximal Commander is now inside their base. "And the other Maximals are coming?" She shrug off her shoulders in stating that the other Maximal enemies are coming, no doubt to aid their berserk leader invading their ship.
"Take Terrorsaur & defend the perimeter along with the others standing by." Megatron lean his head to Terrorsaur in telling Blackarachnia to have these two defend their base while getting any other available Predacon to assist them. "Waspinator." Megatron then turn towards the console in speaking out towards another Predacon next.
"Bleep-Bleep…" The system was making some 'beeping' noise in responding to Megatron giving out his next orders.
"Stop Optimis, NOW!" Megatron snapped off in wanting the wasp-bot to stop Optimis before he can go any further.
"Clupfruvhmm…" The communication ended from there on their side, and for the one who heard it all to.
Waspinator's Position Spot
The scene now opens to another empty hallway, where the Predacon bug in question was in Robot Mode right now.
"Ohhhhooohhh…" Waspinator spoke off in sounding very please at the moment in what he was assign now & held up his Sting Missile Launcher. "Wazzpinator get him!" He tapped his chest-plate in returning the com-link message of going to get Optimis for sure, or so he says.
"Clupfruvhmm…." The wasp-bot ended his com-link soon afterwards while looking around.
Now we see the wasp-bot making clanking robotic nosies, as he was turning to go down a corridor hallway. He held up his sting missile launcher, ready for anything in facing the intruder…or was he?
"GRUUaAAARRrguhhh!" Suddenly, the roaring wails of Optimis' voice made Waspinator stop short with a surprise face, and made him lower his incest wings.
There were stomping nosies coming from somewhere, and Waspinator did not know where.
"DWuueeehhh!" Waspinator made a yelp cry before ducking away from where he was. "Clupfruvhmm…" Soon we see him spread himself over the side wall of the hall in trying to keep out of sight with his head shaking a bit with fear.
"Stompvhm-Stompvhm-stompvhm…" Waspinator raises his weapon in his right hand, and looked to the left side while the stomping is heard. "Stompvhm-Stompvhm-stompvhm…" The Pred looked from left down where a corridor door way was sealed with metal bars, so nothing on that side. "STOMPVHM-STOMPVHM…" And down the opposite direction was the open door leading to where he came from, but nothing while the stomping noise got louder & shook the screen view of things. "STOMPVHM-STOMPVHM…." Waspinator kept himself close to the wall, wielding his weapon for the arrival of a dangerous berserk Maxi to show from anyone of the spots. "Cuffruvhmm…" But then the noise of stomping feet stopped dead in it's tracks, Waspinator was unsure what to make of this or if Optimis was lost…?
"BREAksisvhmmm!/RUURRRrughhh!" Suddenly without warning, Optimis burst through the wall where Waspinator lean against out of nowhere to assault the enemy by grabbing him.
"NEEEAaaughhhh!" Waspinator made a yelp cry when Optimis grabbed him by his chest and mouth to shut him up or from reacting.
"WRAAUUUAARRrughhhh!" Optimis pulled from the hole he made and swung the wasp-bot to the other wall. "BREAKsisfruvhmm…." Which from his sheer of strength, sent Waspinator crashing right through that wall in making another hole.
The viral mine made another ominous humming tone, as the rouge Maximal stared in the new hole where Waspinator laid. Waspinator held up his right arm over his face, expecting the worst to come from his attacker.
"POOwruvhmm…." Optimis aim his left wrist cannon, and fired a shot directly for the cowering wasp. "BAMMFruvhmm!/DRuuwweehhh-YUUuaauiiihhh!" Waspinator made a yelp cry from being blasted away and soon crashed against stuff. "CLRUsfruvhmm.../NEefruvhmmm…" The last cry Waspinator made from his smacking noise off screen in what he hit against, but it clearly was painful.
Soon we focus in on Optimis' stern face in seeing he's taken another Pred down by such berserker like action. "Hruurruaaghhmmm.../Triziziruvhmm.." Suddenly during the ominous humming of the viral mine, Optimis flinched a bit from feeling something act up with himself, might have been the bug drone's doing. "Hruuurfruvhmmm…" Soon from another ominous humming from the Cyberbee itself, Optimis looked around with his focus and stern face before going down another path in what direction he had to take now.
Outside The Inferno Entrance
At this moment, we see the entire transformed into Robot Mode Maximals charging forth near the entry of the Predacon ship. Each Maximal wielding their weapons in hand to go right into battle here.
"Powvhm-Powvhm/Powpowpwopowpow, pow-powvhm!" Suddenly coming out of the Predacon ship was Terrorsaur and Blackarachnia firing their blasters at the enemies. Which soon afterwards, the other transformed Predacons were coming out; Razorclaw, Lazorbeak, Manterror, Iguanas, Spittor, Snapper and Shadow Panther, each using their weapons to blast at their enemies.
All those attacks made the charging Maximals stop to duck from the blast while taking cover near some rocks.
Soon Terrorsaur & Blackarchnia, along with the other Preds, hid around some cover rocks to begin their attack. "Powvhm-Powvhm, Powvhm.../Bangbangbangbangvhmm…." Terrorsaur fired his blaster while the she-spider used her machine gun legs to make a rapid fire work.
"Powvhm-pwovhm-pwovhm, powvhm!/Psuvhm-Pusvhm-Psuvhm!/PRsuvhmmm….." But the Maximal team weren't gonna go down so easily, as they launched their own attacks; Rattrap & Cheetor firing blasters while Dinobot fired his optic beams. "TRisisiuvhmm…./Bangbangbangbangfruvhmmm…." And while the other Maximals were doing the same, Rhinox came up to start firing his own gatling machine guns right at the foes with a stern expression.
As it showed from the screen zooming around, we could see much to the Maximals & Predacons firing machine guns, blasters, beams, buzzsaws, you name it, all while they were taking cover to protect themselves while outside the Inferno's entrance.
Meanwhile Inside The Inferno
Down A Hallway Passage
We see Optimis slowly walking within a one way corridor hall, as the only sound being heard besides his feet was the viral mine's ominous humming. He was trying to push his body forward while it almost looked ready to give in, most likely from the sustain damages.
"Is there any of the old Optimis left?" Cheetor's voice was heard within the air while sounding somewhat close. "Don't let it go, Big-bot?" Optimis suddenly stopped from hearing Cheetor's voice sounding off in his head, much to his confusion. "Don't let this…'thing', tweaked yah out of control?" Cheetor's voice was sounding desperate for his commander to not let the viral mine control him to be something he isn't, and Optimis looked around like he was lost in wonder.
"Cheetor?" Optimis spoke off to the distant voice he's hearing of the young Maximal cadet in the air. "Cheetor?" He turn with his eyes focus off in the direction he's going, Cheetor's words are trying to reach him, even if he's acting like a berserker, he must stay strong to his true self.
Back Outside Where A Battle Wedges On
Right now the battle was still going on, with both sides either attacking or duck and covering from other enemy fire.
"Cheetor…" Rhinox spoke off to the young cadet while his rotating gatling machine gun was turning. "Now!…" He gave a serious left hand wave signal to take Cheetor to be active now.
"We'll hold the fort, you get in and find Optimis!" Armordillo issued off in what they'll be doing in the meantime here.
"And while you're at it, the antivirus too." Razorbeast issued in for the young cadet to find the one thing to help their leader to be return to normal.
"Bangbangbangbangbanghvm…." Soon Rhinox came out from his hiding spot to take aim, and fire off his round loads right towards the enemy.
"Duck! They've attacking the other side?" Shadow Panther issued out to his Predacon forces in seeing this.
As Terrorsaur was blasting, he turn in notching what was coming his way. "Topvhm-topvhm-topvhm-topvhm…." Soon Terrorsaur, Blackarachnia, and some of the other Predacons around duck from some dented shots on the rock.
"Beast Mode!" Cheetor announced off in preparing to change himself right now.
With that moment, the young Maximal reverted back into his Beast Mode. And during some other Predacon miss shots, Cheetor bypass them to dash right up to enter the open entrance of the Predacon Ship. The cat-bot soon vanished within the shadows, as he had a mission; find Optimis & help him out.
"Why that Maximal go in alone?" Snapper asked off in why Cheetor left the battlefield, they were just in the middle of their squabble.
"We need to alert Megatron?" Manterror issued what they need to do, but that was not gonna be easy with the other Maximals cutting in.
"The only thing you Preds gotta be alert about…is US!" Bonecrusher roared off from opening his mouth, and fired another missile with soon exploded off sight of his targets.
Scorponok's Lab Chamber
We soon see Optimis trying to walk out of the corridor one way hall, as he slump his movement to enter what was Scorponok's lab. "Hruaagh…hrruaghvmm…" Though the ominous humming of the viral mine was heard, as Optimis looked around puzzled in what he's seeking.
"Haugh-Haah, Haaugh-haah, Haaaugh-haah" Optimis lifted his head to let off some heavy breathing, as he looked from left to right. "Haaugh…haahh…Haaugh…haaahh…" From his optics, he could see much of Scorponok's setup of his lab in what he was working on the viral mine for the Cyberbee, but that wasn't what he was looking for. "GRruAAaaugh!" Suddenly, Optimis turn his attention towards a spot where there was a stand with a red & blue tubs of liquid suppose to fuel something, it was the stand for the antivirus, just one problem; IT'S NOT THERE? "GRUUAaaughh!" Optimis' voice let off a cry from seeing the thing to help him was not there, not good. "Guanngh…" He lowers his head a bit, almost feeling like he could drop at any moment. "GAHh-Huuagh!" Suddenly, the twitching of the viral mine's effect on his personality kicked in. "Gruagh…NRRauaughhh!/Trisisitriuvhmm…." Optimis cried out in pain, as he felt his circuits were having problems, and he fell to his knees and held his aching head. "Triizivhmm!/GWUUUah-Haaaugh!" Optimis made another yelp cry, as he now held his chest, the viral mine was causing him to continue being a berserker, and it looked like the Maximal Commander was on his last standing after being so damaged before his hands were pressing against the ground, keeping him from falling flat on the floor to pass out.
"Looking for this? Perhaps?" A sudden voice spoke from in the corner of the shadows, for soon came Megatron in his Beast Mode while he held a green glowing object; the antivirus.
"Gaaugh…Uuuhmm….?" Optimis struggled to lift his head up in seeing Megatron & the antivirus while the viral mine still hummed it's ominous tune.
"Hugh, going to warfare suits you." Megatron proclaimed to wave the antivirus off in a muse tone in how he sees how his enemy acts now. "The 'old' Optimis would have never made it this far?" Megatron exclaimed off while he was slowly stepping towards Optimis in how his old foe's new change was different from how the old Optimis would have been.
"Graugh-Haugh…" Optimis groaned from pain, as he held his chest with his left hand while looking nearly beaten. "What…Is it that you want?" Optimis spoke off to wave off that left hand to the ground, he stared with a stern face in what his enemy wants of him while he's on his last leg.
"Your allegiance." Megatron declared off in what he simply wanted of Optimis. "In exchange for this antivirus. Ye-e-s-s-s….." He held up the antivirus to signal that all Optimis must do, is give allegiance to him, and he'll get the antivirus. "And ah, huhuhhu, as an extra, the surrender of the Key you keep in your care, ohohoho yesss indeed." Megatron made a wicked grin in planning to not only have Optimis serve him by helping the bot out, but he must forsaken Aelita to the Predacons.
"And…" Optimis slowly spoke a bit from trying to accept such a devil deal from his enemy. "Huuagh…If I refuse?" He lets off exhausted breath to look down with doubtful thoughts of ever siding with Megatron, or giving Aelita to the Predacons, would he do it.
"You Cannot Refuse? Noooo?" Megatron bellowed off in stating that Optimis cannot turn down his offer, he even shook his head that such thoughts were impossible. "Not if you want to survive?" He issued off that Optimis' survival depends on having the antivirus cure the Maximal of the viral mine, be free from it that if it's detach from him, he'll not live very long. "Join Me…Or Perish!?" Megatron was now up close to stare at Optimis who looked up to him, for unless the Maximal joins the Predacon leader, he'll slowly lose his life in the end.
"GUuaaughh…" Optimis lets off a sign cry in feeling some aches against from the viral mine humming ominously from what he's going through. "GRaauaghh…." Optimis eyes widen from feeling the viral mine trying to cause him harm along with his injuries, he has one choice and that will make him live with regrets. "GrrruughAARrrughhh!" He was shaking his head with starting to get a stern expression in what he should do with Megatron's offer. "Oh YESsssss!" Optimis cried off when he stood up and waved off his arms in responding suddenly. "Then Why Not End This Here And Now, Megatron?" Optimis exclaimed off with a weird berserker expression, and then he suddenly clutched his left hand on…the Cyberbee on his chest? "GRRaugh!/GRrupfruvphmmm…." Optimis made a cry of pain before he suddenly pulled the viral mine Cyberbee right off of him before the Predacon leader.
"Tretresisisvhmm…" Suddenly, the Cyberbee was surging with white energy, it was reacting to Optimis' 'will' to pull him off, and was now activating…like a mine.
"Gaaugh!" Megatron yelped back a bit in witnessing what was just done here. "You FOOL!" He snarled off at the Maximal with fury in what just happened. "You'll Destroy Us All!" Megatron roared off to say in what Optimis has done, has triggered the viral mine to prepare a big explosion.
"Stompvhm-Stompvhmm…" Suddenly, Megatron turns away to prepare to leave before he gets caught in the blast explosion.
"Just a little trick I learn from a Flower, Megatron?" Optimis declared off while handing the bug drone ready to blow in his right hand, held it up and was positioning himself like a football player about to throw a ball. "GAaaugh!" He soon tossed the active Cyberbee mine with a mighty throw that had it's legs facing it's targets back.
"STabfruvhmm!/GRAaaughhh!" Suddenly, the Cyberbee stab in the back neck area of the T-Rex which made Megatron cry out. "GRAAAguh-RRrruaaghhh!" Megatron was making moan cries and thrown the antivirus in the air, as this was a familiar stunt see on Jurassic types from Optimis' experience.
But during the moment, the antivirus was spiraling in the air in which if it came down without a fast person to catch it, it would smash and be destroyed.
"HRraughh…" Optimis let off a gasp from staring in wide-eye terror, if that antivirus breaks, there goes his chance of being saved.
As for the Cyberbee, it was still surging with energy that was gonna be ready to go off any moment.
"SCORPONOOOOOK!" Megatron roared out with his tiny arms up in calling for the Predacon for this Cyberbee & the viral mine to come to his aid now before vanishing in the shadows.
Suddenly, Cheetor rushed in from the shadows and leap up to transform into his Robot Mode while cart-wheeling in mid-air. During the process, he reached up and caught the antivirus in his one hand. And landed with a good grace, holding the antivirus in the right hand without it being destroyed by smashing on the ground.
"Spark…" Optimis spoke that caught Cheetor's attention, something was wrong now. "Huugh…fading?" Optimis held his head from feeling himself about to go off line after removing the viral mine that had his life-support to it. "Truspfrovhmm…" A strange sound was heard, and his body leap towards the left side while on his knees, if nothing was done, his spark would cease to exist.
"Hang on Big-bot!" Cheetoer shouted to rush on over to his leader with much quickness. "Got the antivirus right here!" He issued off in having the cure that the doctor order, as he raised the antivirus up behind his backside before...
"Trussuprofuvhmmm…." At that moment, Cheetor stabbed the needle of the antivirus into Optimis' chest spot where it was showing green surges of energy around the area. "Grugurgurpopovhmmm…Frususvhhmmmm…." From some gurgling nosies to energy charge systems recharging, the vial from the antivirus was squeezing itself into the host body of the Maximal. "Uuuagh…AAaahhh!" Optimis yelp upwards from the first way effect restarting him and then lean downwards to let off a sign of relief. "Truspvhmmm…." Suddenly, the effect disappeared, and it seemed to have done the job.
Optimis shook his head just now in getting himself together. He lifted himself to stare at Cheetor, as a small smile form, this was the old Optimis for sure, and his life was no longer endanger.
"Yes!" Cheetor cheered to hold his left fist to squeeze it, Optimis is okay. "We're online!" He issued in seeing that now Optimis is safe from harm and back to being who he should be. "Let's bail before that thing blows?" He nodded his head to the left while his thumb was in the same direction; issuing they get out of here before that viral bomb goes off after a while from being separated from it's host Maximal.
With that thought in mind, he helped to rush Optimis to his feet before they make a run for it.
Meanwhile, With Another Situation
The scene opens towards where Scorponok was in a room, near a console screen in reading out the situation of their current state. But all that was dropped from Megatron's burst moment of appearance.
"HRuagh-HRruagh-Hrruagh…/Wrussusuvhmmm…." Megatron was rushing in while exploiting his breathing from what was on his back which the viral mine was making nosies to go off any second. "HRUaaaughhhmmm…." Even Scorponok turned to see his leader approaching, but shook his claws up in not wanting his lord to come so close to him with the bomb on his back. "Huuagh-Haaugh-haah…Get This Thing Off Me! Huuagh…NOOooowwww!" Megatron directed Scorponok to take the bomb off of his back, as he can't reach it and snapped off in waving his head down for the Pred to remove his own invention much to the nervous bot.
Outside The Inferno
Where The Maximals Are Battling The Predacons
We see lots of action from both sides duking it out with blaster works to pin the others down.
"Bangbnagnbangvhmmm…/PRrusvhhmmmm…./Powruvhm-Prowfruvhm…./Bangbangbangbangvhmm…." Rhinox's machine gun, Dinobot's optic beams, Terrorsaur's blaster & Blackarachnia's machine guns were firing off against the other keeping themselves behind cover.
"Tie to fad, heroes!" Suddenly, Cheetor's calling out while he and Optimis were rushing out of the entrance of the enemy ship.
"Bangbangbanghvmm…." At seeing what was happening, Rhinox kept firing his weapon at the enemies and looked at the others. He gave a thumb symbol to say 'pull back' which they got the message to cease attacking to turn away.
"So long Preds!" Rattrap called out in waving the enemy goodbye so suddenly.
"It's been a blast!" Armordillo stated off before a sudden Trans-Warp Gate opened up, thanks to Wolfang contacting the Axelon and they jumped through before it vanished completely.
"Wait, why they say that?" Spittor asked off in seeing the enemy say such weird things now.
"Beats me?" Iguanas shrug off his shoulders in not getting this matter anymore then the others would.
"Wait, Optimis ran out of the base without the…Oh no! The Mine Bomb?" Shadow Panther slowly started to realize a major error, that Optimis had not the sign of the Cyberbee on him, which meant the Maximal got it off, but did they deactivate the bomb itself or...
Meanwhile With Scorponok & Megatron's State
At the moment, we see that Scorponok managed to take the stuck bug off of Megatron's back neck, in the same manner Optimis did for Dinobot with the plant's spiky seed ball.
"Bee-bee-bee-beebee…." But the Cyberbee in question was still going off which earn the two Preds attention. "Breebreebreebree-breeiii…." And it earn more attention when the bug drone was glowing white from the red it had, and was shaking to the point where it might…go off?! "BreeBreeBreeBreeBreeieiiivhmmm…." Both Megatron & Scorponok looked from the bug, to each other, the timer had reach the moment, and now…
"Gaugh…/GWUuuhhaaagh!" Scorponok and Megatron let off some gasp in realizing this will not end well for them.
"POWWwvhmmm!" Then an entire bright orange aflame covered the two from the Cyberbee's explosion.
Outside The Inferno
Nobody was expecting what came next all too sudden..?
"BAMMMfruvhmmmm….BOOOMfruvhmmmm!" Suddenly from one to two big explosions blew off a portion of the Predacon's ship to scatter about in the area. Leaving the scene of a smoking mark from where the holes are and what has happened.
Even the Predacons that were outside saw what happened and could guess, what the results were.
"Uh oh…." Terrorsaur yelped in seeing this didn't look to good for their side.
"Well don't that just surprise us?" Blackarachnia remarked off dryly in how things turn up like this.
"Hugh….better scavenge up the metal debris while I check on our lord? He'll no doubt be ticked off?" Shadow Panther signed in defeat, they'll be picking up and fixing their base and when he sees Megatron's condition, he'll need a Restoration Pool time to recover this painful moment.
Morning Sunrise,
Back At The Axelon
We see that outside of the ship where at the moment, it was already shown from the openings in the hidden mountain, that it was dawn. All seem very much quiet and undisturbed, and around the front by the left side of the ship, was a strange expended view room.
The scene changes to where Optimis appears to, fully repaired from his damages from the battle, and his optic eyes turn off. He appeared to be lying down on a Cybertronian loge comforter for Transformers, as he suddenly showed movement.
"Rrurususvhmm…" Suddenly, his optics were flashing red in becoming active, allowing him to see and turn to his left side. There, he was meant with a surprise visitor in what would clearly be his quarters aboard the Axelon. Dinobot, as he watched away from the resting bot's face, Optimis looked to him from his resting form. Plus, it wasn't just the Ex-Pred alone, Jackrabbit, Jeremie & Aelita were nearby in smiling to see their friend make a nice recovery.
"Bedside vigil, Dinobot?" Optimis spoke off in catching the Ex-Pred to see the Maximal Commander awake. "Not like you?" He gave a little shake of his head in seeing this was an action that's not at all, like Dinobot's character.
"Hmmm…it was…?" Dinobot hesitated for a moment in trying to find the right words to respond with. "My shift?" Dinobot exclaimed out in stating that he's only here because of a shift order that the others had already done while looking over Optimis' recovery. "And…the children were stuck…aiding me?" Dinobot turn to the attention of the children beside him, who ended up wanting to be on a shift duty to see how Optimis' condition was going.
"How are you feeling Optimis? You looked pretty bang up, and Rhinox & the others helped you in the CR Chamber after we fix it up." Jeremie explained off in what's happen lately while wondering if his friend was alright now.
"After that event you pulled, it surprise us all?" Jackrabbit spoke off in recalling how when Optimis blasted the CR Chamber to get out, that really made everyone nearly panic out.
"Huagh…I'm fine, though, sorry I put you all in harms way?" Optimis responded with a little sign of his breath, he knows what he did while he was a berserker, and it almost endanger his crew and friends.
"Optimis, it's okay…you have nothing to apologize…we know it was not of your own will." Aelita came to gently rub the Maximal's hand, from her touch and her kind words, seem to help the bot somehow.
"Thank you Aelita." Optimis responded with a little more relief in hearing this while the pink haired girl retrieve her hand from the exhausted commander.
"Grugruguraaughh…." Dinobot let off a little breathing of his breath, raised his left hand to rub his finger against his chin in what to do next here. "Come now you three, he needs rest." He turn to issue that they need to get going, as it's time to leave their leader to rest.
"Aw, but he just woke up?" Jackrabbit moans to complain, she was happy to see Optimis awake when it was their turn.
"Better listen to him Jackrabbit." Jeremie patted the youngest Maximal's shoulders in trying to bring up a good point in heeding those orders from Dinobot.
"Even if Dinobot is no doctor, we should let Optimis rest." Aelita stated with a friendly smile, one that made Jackrabbit sign in defeat, if it's for Optimis' sake, can't be helped.
"Well um…Gurhumm…?" Dinobot was rubbing his chin in trying to think up of what to say during this puzzling scene here. "It's a…good to…" The Ex-Pred slowly tried to say something to the resting Maximal after he gathered his thoughts. "Have you back?" Dinobot turn his head away from Optimis gaze, as he soon stood up to leave the bedside Maximal. And seeing Dinobot prepare to leave, Jeremie, Aelita, and even an acknowledging Jackrabbit, knew they needed to go.
"Back home?" Optimis slowly responded to Dinobot's puzzling question to lift his head up a bit. "Or back to normal?" He asked off in wondering what Dinobot meant by him being 'back' from being back at their base, or that he's retain his old personality…with a smile.
"Hmm…." Dinobot shifted his head a bit in looking to Optimis from hearing that question. And so he slowly turns around to face his leader, to give the answer. "Both…hugh." Dinobot spoke forth the simplest answer to that riddle; glad Optimis is here where he belongs & that he's regain his original personality then staying a berserker. And from a hidden view of it, we could almost make out a small hidden smile appearing from the Ex-Pred.
"Yah, everyone's gonna wanna hear this cheery news!" Jackrabbit jumped for joy that a lot of their Maximal buddies wanna know how well Optimis is doing now.
"We'll tell them for you while stating you need rest, kay?" Jeremie stated with a happy expression that they'll give the others a fair good news on how their friend is doing.
"Optimis, one more thing." Aelita spoke in wanting to mention one last thing before leaving. "Jeremie and I helped pick out a get well gift for you that's from everyone, wishing you well, it's by your stand. We hope you like it?" She smiled to let the resting Maximal commander know what he has that was a gift from the whole crew.
Optimis smiled from seeing and hearing such words from Dinobot, Jackrabbit, Jeremie & Aelita, it helped him feel much more better from such responses. Now the Maximal lies his head on his bedside head rest, and then turn to his right side.
Right next to Optimis, was a beautiful flower of pink lilies. Next to it was a card that some were written in Cybertronian text while another part was English of the human's names on it, it might have been a get well card. The bot can tell that like Aelita said, they are a get well gift for him from his crew, even Dinobot was counted since he must have picked that flower up from somewhere. Soon metal feet were making noise clatters to make Optimis look away from his plant gift to lift his head to see what was going on.
Soon Dinobot had gone through a door that slid itself shut after he, Jackrabbit, Jeremie & Aelita left with the latter three giving a smiling wave goodbye before exiting. Course around the side walls were ornaments of bananas sticking up, but then again, it was Optimis' quarters, and having an ape-form, musta got him interested.
"Hmph-hmph-hmph-hmph-hmph…" Optimis shut his optic lids to smile and chuckle at seeing his friends leave before opening his eyes at where those that left went to. "It's good to be back, and the gift is very thoughtful of everyone, Aelita." He spoke off in knowing he's happy to have everything be back the way it was, even to see Aelita had an effort to get everyone to sign a card with their names by his new flower pot. "Snifffvhmm…MWaaaaugh…" Soon Optimis lies back from taking a breath, and exhaled it out to prepare to just take it easy now.
Within Optimis' quarters was the stand for his plant, a globe with three rotation rings for decoration. And just behind where Optimis was laying back to have his eyes look to the ceiling, behind was his perfect big window view outside. Outside from the window was where a hole in the mountain allowed any to see the rocky terrains, even the tweeting birds and flapping butterflies outside. One thing about this moment was that Optimis was home, being as who he is and being thankful to have such good comrades with him that care, no matter if they are Ex-Predacon or otherwise.
VISION NOTES: Some explanation of different plant life are seen for this different universe on the Planet Earth.
Well this was certainly a VISION of where something was truly going bananas! And now then, The VISION-KING shall begin work on a new chapter that shall be an original here. For in the next chapter, Aelita comes across a strange & very ODD boy when the day starts. And this odd child seems to not be normal, with reflexes & unexplained arsenal & with hover-board? We'll have to IN-VISION just what will happen when this odd fellow ends up following the children to meet the Maximals and where there seems to be a strange connection to him and Aelita. What could it possible be, what are the mysterious revolving around this? And can they handle it without some Predawn company? Just have to stay tune to see, till then…enjoy & look forward to what shall be seen very soon…
