Anyways here's an update! I do not own Transformers just my own characters.
Enjoy~
~~~~~~~0000000000000000~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~00000~~~
The sun was high in the sky and the sky was cleared of clouds, to Destiny, it was another day in paradise on Earth. Her team, including herself were heading over to meet their new instructor. The only thing that made Destiny feel bad was she was heading this from the rest of her Autobot friends, except Optimus, he already knew she was going to secretly train under Tigerstripe. And now her team wanted to be included. But this was also a good time to help the newest member of their group, the young red femme called Raving Star. The poor femme was terribly shy and was a bit clumsily trying to control her new vehicle mode; A red sports car. The jet twins quoted that they would have their hands full when Raving Star transformed and Sideburn was on the chase. So far they were lucky, none of the other Autobots had seen them. Ironblast, Jetstorm and Jetstreak were keeping their enemy detectors on just in case they sensed Movor or one of the other Decepticons. Destiny tried not to be too worried but the thought of them did still make her shudder, she was not fond of a few of them. Even with Scourge being her father, she still had a dislike for the Decepticons. The Predacons proved to be no problem and the only one that she actually liked was old Tigerstripe, since he was smarter and a lot more wiser than his fellow Predacons.
"Aaaaarghhhh... Are we almost there YET?" Destiny snickered a bit as the impatient voice of Jetstreak was heard in her commlink transmission.
"Not yet, I'll let you know when we're ALMOST there Jetstreak." Replied the white semi.
"You better or I will sneak into your quarters and -"
"Don't finish that, I know what you're going to say!" The femme jet laughed before turning off her comlink transmission.
"You know I swear that Jetstreak has more devilish plans for me..." Destiny said.
"...Does she always... you know... prank others..?" Asked the small sweet voice of Raving Star, the little red sports car pulled up beside Destiny.
"She and her brother. Trust me if you see them get an evil glint in their optics... run like the pit."
"Yeah dudette, we won't let them pull anything on you little sis." Faststreak said, reassuring the small sports car.
"T-Thanks Faststreak." She stated. The small shy femme had been added to her team, also know as her family. Destiny honestly loved having all the bots that were on her team be as one of her own family, and they thought the same. The sun was starting to set and it did make it easier for Destiny and her team to train with Tigerstripe if it was darker than again anything could happen. They all turned a corner and then Destiny recognized it easily and she immediately commlinked everyone.
"Alright! We're almost there!"
There was a series of cheers among them all. No doubt they were excitied about learning to train under a ex-Predacon. They turned into a tunnel that lead into a side road that would take them to a shady part of the forest, Destiny figured it would be easier for them to travel by foot and not risk any of the Decepticons or other Autobots to find them. They had reached the end of the tunnel and pulled to a stop.
"Destiny transform!"
"Faststreak transform!"
"Raving Star transform!"
The sound of their aerial friends closed in and prepared for a landing.
"Ironblast transform!"
"Jetstreak transform!"
"Jetstorm transform!"
Now they each looked around to see if anyone had followed them, luckily none of the other Autobots were around. Destiny moved forward to scope out the surroundings first, she told her team to wait as the jet twins gave her a look that said impatience. Destiny was a bit more worried about Raving Star, the poor shy femme was an easy target for the misceviousness of the jet twins. After looking around thoroughly, she waved them forward so they could meet her. Raving Star was the first to reach her and stuck to her side as the others arrived.
"Okay, I must ask... Who else is excited?" Asked Jetstorm, excitement clear in his vocal box. His sister was practically dancing on her feet. Faststreak nodded and looked to Ironblast, who also nodded. Raving Star was nervous but trying not to show it.
"I think everyone is... Alright. Here we go then." Destiny walked forward with Raving Star clinging on to the back of her waist armor, hiding behind the slightly taller femme. As white femme expected, Tigerstripe was mediating on a rock looking completely still and immobile. At first she thought he was hologram by his complete stillness but the later realized that he was softly inhaling and exhaling air out of his vents. Before the femme could say a word, the elder Predacon chuckled.
"I see, you brought along a few friends." He said. She jumped slightly, becoming surprised, he didn't even bother to online his optics how did he know that she had her team?
"Uh yeah... about that... They really wanted to come and um... they kind of forced the information out of me..."
"Of course, I have no problems with them wanting to learn as well. But they learn different techniques than what you learn to defend themselves against a worthy foe." With that he onlined his optics and looked to her. He had a look that seemed as if he was wiser beyond his years. He swiftly and gently jumped down from the rock and glanced to the rest of her team, who eagerly awaited to hear him speak. He had a calculating look as if trying to identify their fighting styles individually. After looking at each of them carefully, he turned around on his heels and walked a few feet away from them.
"I will fight you all. One on one. I will determine what your weaknesses are, where you need to the most work, the most training. Do not expect me to fight fairly, your opponant will not play fairly. I know how the Decepticons fight, I know how the enemy fights. They will not be easy."
"Sounds like fun~." Jetstreak stated. Destiny could have sworn she sounded excited.
"I will make a motion for one of you to come and face me. Do not take this lightly my young friends, I am only trying to prepare you." He turned and faced them. None of them could tell what his expression was, which seemed to either unerve them or simply excite them more.
"Now then. You my tall friend, you are first." Tiger stripe said, calmly referring to Ironblast. Ironblast looked around nervously before realizing that he was the one the elder Predacon was referring to. He took a few steps towards the Predacon elder, as he stayed still and watched the younger bot in front of him approach.
"I... I don't want to hurt you badly..." Ironblast started, earning a chuckle from the elder Predacon.
"My dear friend... You will not harm me I have faced worse in my days. Trust me." Tigerstripe's tone was gentle. Ironblast shrugged and lunged at the elder Predacon, but Tiger stripe dodged with quick speed. Ironblast was shocked as the elder Predacon had made it behind him, ramming him to the ground. Ironblast stood and tried another attack, it proved useless against the experience the elder Predacon knew. Ironblast was sent back to the ground by a hard kick to his back from the old leopard. The others looked stunned as he turned and meet each of their gazes.
"Now it is your turn." He said referring to Faststreak. With a little more confidence, Faststreak strolled up towards the Predacon elder thinking that he would have no problems. But he was far from the truth. Faststreak started bouncing on the balls of his heels raising his fists up. Tigerstripe looked calm and expressionless, he almost looked like a statue. Then Faststreak charged and swung a few punches towards the old leopard to which he dodged with grace. Faststreak was trying his best to at least hit Tigerstripe just once but much to his own frustration, he wasn't even getting close. Faststreak did start to get a little quicker but he wasn't quick enough to hit the old Predacon. After awhile, the old Predacon finally grabbed one of Faststreaks punches as he threw them and then got thrown over the shoulder and he landed right on Ironblasts back, making the poor mech groan with pain. Once again they were stunned.
"Alright... Come forward seeker sire.." Tigerstripe said as if what he just had done didn't quite effect him. Jetstorm then grinned a cocky grin and pushed past Destiny and Jetstreak. He was practically boucning on his feet. Jetstreak was giggling slightly but keeping to quiet to an extent. Destiny couldn't help but smile under her faceguard. Raving Star was curiously watching the jet twin from peeking out from Destiny's side. Tiger Stripe watched the young seeker constantly bouncing on the balls of his feet with a very calm expression.
"Okay... Show me what you got!" Jetstorm spoke putting up his hands in a karate style.
"Being to eagar will get you hurt faster..." Tiger Stripe stated.
"For me it usually always works." Jetstorm answered. Tiger Stripe and did a small gesture that caused Destiny to nearly burst out laughing, the old Predacon had just rolled his optics. Jetstorm then attacked the old Predacon who dodged quickly. The seeker was quick on his feet but the old leopard was quicker. Jetstorm made a punch for the old Predacon, whom dodged. Unfortuntely the seeker just lost his footing and fell face first into the ground. Destiny snorted this time covering her facemask quickly trying to stop a full burst out of laughter. Jetstreak just waited with her optics wide, seeing if her brother had truly hurt himself. Jetstorm got back to his feet and staggered, he threw up his hands.
"I meant to do that!" He said with a cocky grin. Jetstreak just burst out into full laughter, even Raving Star giggled. Destiny couldn't help but giggle. Tiger Stripe sighed and shook his head.
"You are a strange seeker youngling..." Tiger Stripe stated with a small smile.
"Okay! Let's go a round two!"
"Now, now... our young femme's need to have a chance to test their fighting skills.."
"Yeah Jetstorm! You're not the only one that wants to 'show 'im what you got'!" Jetstreak shouted, laughing. "Quit hogging the spotlight!"
"Oh you're one to accuse!" Jetstorm shouted back.
"Alright, Alright... You may argue this later. Now.. for our young femmes... I must be honest with you three... You are mostly likey a target for.. the mechs that do not have a mate on your enemies side and trust me.. none of those mechs have a mate.. well except for Skybite and Gas skunk.." Tiger Stripe started to explain.
"Whoa hold on!" Jetstreak interrupted her hands waving right in front of her. "You mean those fragging Decepticons would actually target us!"
"Aye... They will too. This may surprise you but the Predacons are more honorable when it comes to you young femmes. I guarentee they would not hurt you... especially the Predacons that are here on Earth now. Except for Galvatron.. I would be rather causious around him.." Tiger stripe nodded. "We can discuss this more later... let's see how well you can defend yourself.. show me what your fighting skill level is."
"You got it." Destiny said this time, giving one nod. Tiger Stripe took a few steps to the right and stood looking to the three femmes.
"Alright... Young one... Please step forward.. don't worry I won't do anything but test your skills as a fighter.." the old Predacon stated softly. Raving Star looked a bit shy and nervous.
"It's alright Rave... He's on our side. He won't do anything to cause any severe damage.. I promise, kay?" Destiny said, looking to the younger femme. Finally after a few mega cycles went by and the young red femme came out of hiding. She was a little shy coming forward but she did move forward. Jetstreak and Destiny looked to one another before the jet twin shrugged. Then they turned their gazes back to the same femme who was now standing a few feet from Tiger Stripe.
"Alright.. Show me what you can do young one." He stated softly. The young femme gave one nod before charging at him with quick speed that even caught the old Predacon off guard, the other two femmes were shocked to know that the small femme was in fact very quick on her feet. She seemed to use her feet as more of her combat weapons, she even seemed quick flexible but none of her marks seemed to hit the elder Predacon. He had quickly recovered from his surprise and was dodging all of her quick attacks. It wasn't before long that Tiger Stripe finally managed to stop Raving Star, by simply grabbing one her outstretched legs and throwing off her balance. She lost her footing and fell to her rear as Tiger stripe released her. She blinked a few times before looking to the elder Predacon.
"You've got potential as a fast fighter.." Tiger Stripe stated softly offering a helping hand to the Raving Star. She gave him a sheepish grin and took his hand to get to her feet. "I am very impressed."
"Thank you..." She said a bit softly. But there was a hint of joy in her tone, getting praised by a fighter that knew a lot more than they did was a good feeling. Raving Star trotted out of the way and stood off to the side lines. The three mechs came and stood beside her as well, watching for the next fight. Tiger Stripe chuckled and turned to the remaining two femmes. Jetstreak looked rather excited hoping that he would choose her to fight next. Destiny was more than patient to wait for him to choose. He chuckled and looked to the eager seeker femme.
"Alright.. young seeker. Come forward. It is your turn to show me what you can do." He said, gesturing a hand for her to come forward. Jetstreak nearly bounced over to him and then got into a stance.
"Unlike my goofy twin.. I know how to fight without trying to be a show-off."
"Ha ha. Very funny Jetstreak." Stated Jetstorm. In response to his sarcastic reply, his sister laughed. She then turned serious with a caluating aura around her, she looked as if she was about to circle him looking for his weak point. Tiger Stripe watched the seeker femme, he too, was calculating. Finally she raced forward and tried for a spin kick first to which he dodged with grace, Jetstreaky was trying to aim accurately and precise. But it was like he was reading her moves before she could make them, and dodged as well as blocking them. Finally after awhile, he grabbed one of her outstretched heels. This surprised Jetstreak.
"Oh frag..!" Was all she could say before he swing her towards the group she landed on her back with a 'oof!'. She sat up and looked to the elder Predacon with surprise before she smiled a cheeky grin. "Nice~ Now.. THAT was a good practice fight~"
The elder predacon laughed, as the young seeker femme got to her feet and walked over to the rest of her group. Now Tiger Stripe turned his attention to the last of the group, Destiny, whom was ready for him. The young white and black femme had already taken a stance and was ready.
"Good.. You are ready for the fight young one. But it depends on your fighting skill." He took a stance as well. "Let me see how you fight."
Destiny then charged forward, ready to launch into her duel. But she faked a full on attack and tried a sneak attack. Unfortunetely he must have caught on, even after her attack did catch him off guard and he was able to defend himself. She kept on her feet and continued to attack him but he dodged and blocked her quick attacks. She had to keep herself on guard just in case he tried one of his fatal blows that would knock her out of the fighting ring. He tried for her outstretched foot as she tried a kick but she saw it and moved her foot out of his range. She tried for an attack that would knock him off his feet but he saw it and dodged. She bit her lip under the faceguard and continued to try different attacks. Her team watched the duel with amazement, she was holding her own against him. The only thing that Destiny worried about was messing up a move accidently that would leave her open. She stopped and tried for another kick, to her dismay she miscalculated and she knew it.
"..Oh slag!" She said as her other foot slipped from underneath her and she fell. She miscalculated her balance when throwing out her kick. She landed on her back a bit harder than she thought. She groaned, and mentally cursed at her clusminess.
"...Miscalculate a move?" asked the elder predacon.
"Yes... big time.." She groaned and sat up, rubbing the back of her head. She heard mild laughter coming from the jet twins, in turn she glared over to see them both look like they were about to die of laughter. "Shut up!"
"WOW Destiny! You REALLY screwed up that kick!" Jetstreak managed to say through her laughter.
"I know I did!" She snapped getting to her feet. She brushed the back of her armor off and walked towards her team. 'They're going to tease me about that for a loooooooooong time to come.'
"Now after fighting each of you.. I now know what you must each work on. I will start with who have dueled first. You my giant friend, must work on getting to work with your strength and weight. They can be used to your advantage as well as your disadvantage. But also, make sure you are always on your feet, do not let your guard down. Now as for the second mech, your fault is that you depend on your speed far to much and not how you focus your attack. If you can focus on your attack as well as speed you will have a better chance. Now for the seeker mech, you have your pride to work on. You get overconfident and you have a high impatience level, that will get you in trouble with the enemy. They can easily take advantage of that, and another thing you must keep your focus, I cannot state that enough. Focus on the enemy and on their moves, watch them and wait and see what they might do." Tiger Stripe explained to the three mechs.
"Oh come on! My confidence is a charm~" Jetstorm pouted.
"Yeah it's also annoying." Jetstreak retorted.
"Is not!" Jetstorm also snappiedly retorted.
"Jetstorm I think you're just proving his point.." Destiny stated.
"Alright now for the young femmes... Our youngest, you are a quick learner and quite fast. But the only problem is your hesitance, I noticed you get nervous easily. You can boost your confidence level with the help of your friends. Now the seeker femme, you seem to have a strategry in mind but make sure you don't calculate to early, that is what messed the duel up for you. Also, keep an eye on what your opponant does and not so much on what you think he might do. Last for you, young one. You too had a strategy but your downfall was your miscalucation of your moves. Regain control of your attacks and your balance." Tiger Stripe this time explained to the femmes.
"I knew it!" Jetstreak snapped her fingers. "I ALWAYS do that too!"
"I will work on more on gettin my balance in order... I honestly wasn't expecting to fall on my rear plate." Destiny sighed.
"I need to work on NOT over estimating slag." Jetstreak stated.
"I... I will work on trying to stop being so hesitant.. I can improve!" Raving Star said.
"We know you can~ We'll help you." Destiny said, clasping her hand on the femme's shoulder. She looked back to Tiger Stripe. "Alright what happens next?"
"Now.. We work more with teamwork."
