ALIEN VS PREDATOR: THE DAY OF THE HUNTER
The Thanatos flew over the Amazon Rainforest surrounded by an invisible camouflage as a precaution. "Headstrong, do have something on the radar?" Razorclaw asked.
"The radar is detecting a lot of Drones. But no human." Headstrong answered. Razorclaw mumbled.
"I found a place to land." Divebomb said and he made the Thanatos land on top of a hill and the Predacons left the ship and they saw two Dropships flying down above them. "I'll go ahead and see what we are dealing with. Divebomb Transform!" Divebomb transformed into an eagle and then he flew away.
"We should go as well. Predacons Transform!" Razorclaw and the other Predacons transformed to beast mode and they ran down the hill and then they transformed back into robot mode and they hid inside some plants. Divebomb and the other Predacons saw an indigenous village that was filled with Drones. And there were many human corpses around and at least two dead drones as well. "Divebomb, how many drones are there?"
"They outnumber us in 12 to each 1 of us at least." Divebomb said.
"It seems that we are in big disadvantage, Razorclaw." Rampage said.
"Indeed. In that case I'll go." Tantrum said and he rose up and he ran towards the drones with his sword. "Alright you scraps, which of you wants to be exterminated?!" Tantrum roared making Razorclaw facepalm. The drones turned their attention to Tantrum and they aimed their weapons at him, the bull like Predacon smirked and he held his sword with both hands, ready to attack. But then several fireballs, laser shots, acid gushes and electric blasts came from the jungle and destroyed the drones. "What in name of Vector Sigma..." Tantrum muttered and then he threw his sword at the ground. "Damn it! Whoever did this, appear now! Or I swear I'll hunt you down and slaughter you like animals! Do you hear me?! LIKE ANIMALS!" Tantrum shouted and then he started to pant heavily with smoke leaving the sides of his head.
Then someone said. "Alright, alright, just don't shoot us, okay?" And then the Terrorcons left the jungle and went to the village with three Autobots following them, one resembled a yellow and red insect like creature, other resembled a white, gray and red mechanical dragon with two white heads and the third one resembled a pink, blue and white humanoid saber-tooth cat with a pair of gray bat like wings.
The other Predacons saw that and they left their hiding spot. Divebomb landed and he transformed to robot mode. "Already here, Hun-Grr? And who are those Autobots?" Razorclaw said.
Before Hun-Grr could answer the insect like Autobot said. "We are the Monsterbots! My name is Repugnus the others are Doublecross and Grotesque."
"The Monsterbots? So you are the ones that are supposed to assist us?" Headstrong said ironically.
"Exactly, now deal with it!" Doublecross's left head said.
"We are not as good as you are suggesting, you know. The Autobots should have send someone better than us!" Doublecross's right head said.
"Oh, shut up!" Doublecross's left head replied. The Predacons looked at Doublecross with widened eyes. "What are you looking at?" Both Doublecross's heads said to the Predacons.
"Creepy, isn't it? Cutthroat said.
"Hey Grotesque, did you discover something?" Repugnus said ignoring that scene with Doublecross.
Grotesque looked at the corpses and saw that they were dead for quite some time and they had holes in their chests and were partially eaten. "*Hmm* It seems that the Drones ripped the humans' hearts out for some reason." Grotesque said.
Rippersnapper and Rampage came near him to see the corpses. "Your wrong, the heart is not in this position." Rampage said. "And besides the ribs are going from inside out."
"It is as if something burst through them." Rippersnapper explained. Razorclaw that was examining the dead drones heard that and he got slightly shocked. And then he turned his attention to the dead drones and saw that they had deep cuts and many melted shooting marks. He mumbled something for he had seen these traits before.
"It seems that there is someone or something else besides us and the drones in this jungle." Sinnertwin said.
"I'll go back to the ship and read our files about alien species. With this pattern of attack there is a way I can discover if there is something else in this jungle." Divebomb said and he transformed to eagle mode and he flew towards the Thanatos.
"And what should we do?" Tantrum asked.
"There is some sort of pyramid after you cross that rope bridge." Hun-Grr said. "That place is full of Drones so the Star Sword is probably there. I think we should go there and..." Hun-Grr was saying when then Razorclaw interrupted him.
"No." Razorclaw said. "There are more drones in another village in that direction. You Monsterbots will go there along with Rippersnapper and Sinnertwin and try to discover more. The rest go to that pyramid and stay on low profile and wait for further orders. I will scout ahead." Razorclaw transformed to lion mode and he disappeared in the jungle. The others were a little confused but nevertheless they did as Razorclaw ordered.
Divebomb was inside the Thanatos sat on a chair reading the files in a computer about alien species, but with no progress. "Okay. Going to letter X." Divebomb said tiredly and he pressed some buttons in the keyboard and he started to read again. "Come on, this is useless, I'll never find..." Divebomb was complaining and then he saw a file about a specific specie and he started to read it and widened his eyes in shock and horror. "Oh dear Primus...I've to alert them!" Divebomb said and he tried to use the comm-links but with no success. "Damn, the comm-links aren't working! But I've to find them!" Divebomb thought and he left the ship and transformed to eagle mode and he flew away.
Meanwhile the Rippersnapper, Sinnertwin and Monsterbots were walking out of the Amazon river and they found the other village in an island surrounded by tall grass and the drones were there, and as with the last one there were partially eaten human corpses. The group silently walked and they hid themselves completely in the tall grass. "It seems that they are talking about something." Doublecross's right head said.
"How can you be so sure? We are hearing nothing." Doublecross's left head said.
"I deduced that because of their body language." Doublecross's right head answered.
"Body language? They are barely moving! You are just...!" Doublecross's left head retorted until Repugnus took several thick pieces of grass and used it to tie Doublecross's mouths.
"You know what? Two-heads is right...I'll go there and try to hear something." Sinnertwin said and he transformed to two-headed wolf mode and he disappeared in the tall grass and went to near the drones and listened to them.
"So, all the humans in the area were given to Crimson and used in the experiment. So how did Full-Tilt create the mutants?" A drone asked.
"He cloned Crimson and then impregnated the clones with embryos, the rest you can guess." The second drone answered.
"Experiment? Mutant? What are they talking about?" Sinnertwin thought. Then he heard some movement in the tall grass and then he was knocked down and surrounded by many creatures. "What heck is going on?!" Sinnertwin screamed and he tried to get rid of the creatures.
"The creatures found an intruder! Burn the grass!" A drone said and then they took flamethrowers and they incinerated the grass in seconds. The Monsterbots and the two Terrorcons widened their eyes in horror when they saw the creatures on top of Sinnertwin. On top of him were about thirteen humanoid creatures with black exoskeletons, sharp pointed tails, clawed hands and feet, sharp teeth and long heads with no visible eyes.
"What are those things? What h*ll are those things?!" Sinnertwin panicked as he struggled in an attempt to escape.
Then Repugnus, Grotesque, Doublecross and Rippersnapper shot the creatures off Sinnertwin. "Let's discover that after they are dead, alright?" Repugnus said and he shot an electric blast from his mouth and exploded a creature's to pieces.
"Come on Sinnertwin, lets go!" Rippersnapper said when he didn't see Sinnertwin moving. "Sinnertwin?" Rippersnapper went near his fellow Terrorcon and he saw for his horror that Sinnertwin was all covered in the creatures' green blood that was melting him.
"Help...Me! Their blood is...Acid!" Sinnertwin groaned and then he widened his eyes in terror. "Aaaargh! There are more of that things coming towards us!" Rippersnapper turned his head and he saw more creatures jumping on him and they started to claw and bite him. The Monsterbots were about to shoot the creatures but then the drones shot and started to damage them. But then a Drone was hit by a blue plasma blast and his head exploded.
"What was that?" Another Drone questioned and then his head was cut in half and he fell dead on the ground. The creatures noticed that and they jumped off Rippersnapper and they turned their attention to a direction and they started to roar and hiss at something.
"The hunters! They are back!" A Drone shouted and they shot at the jungle for several minutes before stopping. Then multiple blue plasma shots came and started to kill the creatures. Rippersnapper saw two partially invisible humanoids jumping from the jungle to the island and running to the battle and one of them jumped on the back of a Drone and stabbed through his head with some sort of weapon. "One of them is there!" A Drone said and they all shot at the dead Drone that exploded, and the invisible humanoid knocked a Drone down with a flying kick and ripped his head off barehanded.
The other one threw two objects and cut off a Drone's arms before blasting his torso off with a blue plasma blast. "Let's get out of here!" Repugnus shouted and the Monsterbots jumped on the river.
"Monsters...This place is filled with monsters." Rippersnapper said and he took a piece of wood and he picked Sinnertwin and he jumped on the river as well. In matter of seconds, all the Drones and creatures were exterminated and the humanoids undid their invisibility. Both were 7 feet tall scaly humanoid aliens with dreadlock like appendages from their heads, they both wore metal high-tech masks that covered their whole faces, some armor and wire mesh suits under their armors.
One of them was slightly muscular than the other and a cannon in each shoulder, wrist mounted cannons, two big shurikens in each hip and a pair of machete like swords in its back. The other was apparently a woman because of its slender and female figure, it had a single shoulder cannon and it also had a trident for weapon. The bigger one did some growls and click noises and they did huge leaps that let them cross the island and they went towards the jungle.
"What in name of the Matrix was that?! One moment we were stalking the Drones and the next we were being attacked by Alien Creatures and Invisible Predators!" Grotesque said.
"I don't care about that! I just want to find a place to treat Sinnertwin's wounds!" Rippersnapper said as he carried his fellow Terrorcon.
Up the trees, Divebomb saw them and he dived through the trees and he transformed to robot mode and he landed in front of the group. "Divebomb, we found the Drones in the other village...And then we were attacked by creatures, they were..." Repugnus was saying.
"Xenomorphs. The creatures you saw are probably Xenomorphs." Divebomb said and he took a syringe and he injected a liquid in Sinnertwin that stopped the acid's actions and he gave another shots in Rippersnapper and the Monsterbots.
"Xeno...what?" Rippersnapper asked.
"Xenomorphs. They are a race of dangerous parasitic predators." Divebomb said.
"Did you and the Preds, met them before?" Sinnertwin asked.
"Only once, and we barely survived. In some place they are regarded as the most dangerous species in the whole universe and with good reason. In big numbers they threatened even Predaking." Divebomb explained. "I need you to tell everything you discovered."
"Full-Tilt somehow used the humans around to create the Xenomorphs and tamed them. And he cloned something called Crimson to create a mutant. Do you know what they were talking about?" Repugnus said.
"The second part I am not so sure. But about the first part: the Xenomorph starts as a spider like creature called Facehugger that attaches to the host's face and implant an egg inside of the host via the mouth. When the egg hatches, the embryo quickly develops and becomes a Chestbuster that is an infant form and erupts through the host's chest. And after eating a little from its dead host, it evolves into an adult...Are you okay, guys?" Divebomb said when he saw the others' disgusted faces.
"*Eeeew!* This is sick! Even for alien animals!" Doublecross's left head said.
"It is as if they were created based on the script of a Horror/Sci-Fi movie." Doublecross's right head responded.
"Indeed, it does." Doublecross's left head agreed. Both the heads shook and they stared at each other. "Did we just agree on something?"
"You did." Repugnus answered. Grotesque and he were with their eyes widened in shock.
"This is so creep." Doublecross's left head said.
"This really is." Doublecross's right head agreed again.
"Okay, you must stop doing that!" Doublecross's left head said, the right head was about to agree again but then Doublecross's hands held his mouth shut. "And I mean it!" The left head muttered dryly, his right eye twitching.
"Did the idiots stop babbling?"
"Oh, it is you Razorclaw? How much of this conversation did you hear?" Divebomb asked via radio.
"Everything. From the Xenomorph topic to the two-headed insane argument." Razorclaw answered. "The plan has changed. Divebomb, you and the Terrorcons shall regroup with the others to the pyramid right now! And you Monsterbots, you'll search the area for more Xenomorphs."
"ARE YOU INSANE?" The Monsterbots stormed at same time. "IT WAS NEEDED ONLY A FEW BUNCHE OF THOSE THINGS TO NEARLY KILL US ALL! AND YOU WANT US TO GO AFTER THEM? WHAT IF WE FIND AN ENTIRE ARMY OF XENOS? OR WORSE, ONE OF THOSE INVISIBLE HUNTERS?!"
"Invisible hunters? What are you talking about?" Divebomb said.
"There was...Something else there with us, that killed the Drones and Xenomorphs as if they were nothing!" Grotesque said.
"Do you know what creature would be able to do it?" Rippersnapper asked.
"I have no idea. Do you know something, Razorclaw?" Divebomb said.
Razorclaw stood silent for some time before saying. "I don't know nothing. Just...Stick to the plan, alright?" Razorclaw said before he cut communications off. The group and Divebomb in particular were confused with his strange behavior, but then they split and the Decepticons went to the Pyramid and the Monsterbots went to another direction.
"So, where do we start?" Grotesque asked.
"I think that we should go look in that direction." Doublecross's right head said pointing right.
"Well, I think we should go in that direction!" Doublecross's left head said pointing left.
"And I think you should shut up and do as I say!" Repugnus said. Then a blue plasma blast flew near him and missed his head and he heard some movement coming from the trees' top. "Drat, it is those invisible hunters again!" Then the Monsterbots started to run away while evading being killed.
Meanwhile Divebom and the others arrived at the jungle part near the pyramid and they found Hun-Grr and the other Predacons and Terrorcons. "Hey guys, what do you have to report?" Sinnertwin said but he got no answer. "Guys?"
"It is as if they are paralyzed in shock." Rippersnapper said. They went towards the group and they found for their shock and horror that all the Drones protecting the Pyramid were dead. "What...Happened here?"
"We came in to watch the operations in the Pyramid...And when we arrived we saw...The Drones fighting...Two invisible creatures! They were obliterated in seconds." Headstrong said.
"They are already here?" Sinnertwin said.
"Where are the creatures?" Divebomb asked.
"Last time time I saw, the creatures entered the pyramid after killing the Drones." Hun-Grr answered.
"Somebody, please help us!"
"Repugnus, is that you?! What is going on?" Rippersnapper said.
"We were patrolling for the Drones when then we were attacked by the invisible creatures. They are on hot pursue at us!" Repugnus answered.
"Please send somebody, anybody!" Doublecross said.
"Not anybody, please send someone that can be useful!" Doublecross's other head said.
"JUST SEND HELP!" Repugnus said.
"What?! But we saw the creatures entering the Pyramid!" Hun-Grr said.
"Are you telling that there are more of these things messing around?" Cutthroat said.
"I knew it, since I saw those invisible things I knew it, we are all gonna die." Rampage said and then he turned his attention to Tantrum and said in a deep voice. "Starting with you."
"Hey, what?" Tantrum said.
"In most times, the big tough characters are always the first ones to die in the Sci-Fi/Horror movies." Rampage explained.
"No one is gonna die on my watch!"
"Is that you, Razorclaw?" Divebomb asked.
Meanwhile Razorclaw was running around the jungle and he jumped over a rock and he kept running. "I heard the Monsterbots' screaming near me, I'm going help them and you enter the pyramid and get the Star Saber! And don't dare question me!" Razorclaw continued to run and then he found the Monsterbots and he jumped over them and knocked the invisible hunter off the trees Razorclaw transformed mid-air to robot mode and he and the invisible creature landed on their feet. Razorclaw looked at the partially invisible humanoid and he started to do some growls and clicks as if he was talking to it. /Are you a group of Youngbloods trying to prove your value? Say your intentions!/
The creature stood silent before answering. /After all these years and you can't even recognize your own teacher?/ Then the creature undid its invisibility, Razorclaw widened his eyes in shock. That creature was a 7,98 feet tall muscular and scaly humanoid alien with dreadlock like appendages in its head, he wore a high-tech mask that covered its whole face, it wore some armor, a wire mesh suit and it had a cannon in its right shoulder and a pair of long claw like blades in each wrist.
"You?" Razorclaw said. The alien aimed its cannon at Repugnus's head. "Whatever you do, don't attack him." Razorclaw said and he took a pistol and shoot at the alien that jumped to the trees' top and it turned invisible. "You go to the other side! I'll distract him!" Razorclaw transformed to lion mode and he started to run at full speed with the alien pursuing him. Razorclaw ended up being hit on his hind right leg but he kept running until he fell on a ditch. He stood quiet and silent until the alien left.
"Razorclaw?! Razorclaw are you okay?!"
"Be quiet Divebomb." Razorclaw muttered. "Yes, I'm fine. I was able to save the Monsterbots by attracting the hunter's attention to me. You Monsterbots go to the Pyramid and don't let no one enter it. The rest go forward into the pyramid and get the Star Saber. I'll..."
"Oh, no. I won't walk a single step until you give us some explanation!" Cutthroat said.
"How did you recognize the Xenos if we fought them only once?" Headstrong said.
"And how do you know the invisible Alien that was attacking us?" Repugnus said.
Razorclaw stood silent before speaking. "Understand that everyone have a secret, and I am not an exception." Razorclaw said as he climbed and he left the ditch. "The Predacons weren't born master hunters, I trained you. And I wasn't born a master hunter, I had a master as well. But he was...Different..." Razorclaw explained.
"How...Different?" Hun-Grr asked.
"Well, to start of it, I was quite stupid and immature when I was young." Razorclaw said embarrassed.
"Hey man, don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone does something stupid when is young." Grotesque said friendly.
"Anyway, I stole a ship and I ended up stranded in an unknown planet. And there I met the Yautja race." Razorclaw explained.
"The Yautja? They exist?!" Headstrong said astonished.
"What are the Yautja?" Blot asked.
"They are a race mentioned in rare files, so most of the universe think they are merely a myth. But it seems we were wrong." Divebomb replied.
"What do you know about them?" Sinnertwin said.
"The files tell that the Yautja are a race with advanced technology and science but their culture and society is based on hunt for honor and sport. Three males -usually brothers- travel to another planet and they hunt the most dangerous creatures to prove themselves and pass to adulthood." Divebomb explained.
"Exactly. I was trained by Dark, an Elite Hunter and Clan Leader, and my fellow training mates were his children Sharpshot and Tripleblade."
"Whoa, whoa whoa! Your master? He was the one attacking us?!" Repugnus said.
"Affirmative." Razorclaw answered.
"So. As if the Xenomorphs weren't a big problem, now there are being three highly dangerous alien master hunters that are intended to hunt and kill us?!" Cutthroat said.
"Any advice for us?" Rippersnapper said.
"If you find the Yautja, throw your weapons to the ground and don't attack them. And I mean it! Don't. Attack. Them! Despite their ruthlessness the Yautja follow a strict honor code that forbids them from attacking unharmed beings. Stick to the plan and...Try to survive." Razorclaw said and he turned the comm-links off, and he kept walking until he left the jungle and found himself in a treeless plain.
Razorclaw turned his attention to the jungle and he walked backwards without taking his eyes away from it. But then he heard a sound coming from behind him and he turned his back scared to see Full-Tilt that was leaned against a rocky wall working on a PDA. "Oh my, you are really nervous aren't you? It seems that you know already that there are other things hunting in this jungle. I am surprised that you and your team survived so far."
"Well, I can't say that he didn't try. You doesn't seem to he worried with them." Razorclaw said.
"Why should I be worried? I am not threat to them, besides they don't kill unarmed prey." Full-Tilt said.
"Yeah, they are really complicated, and your Xenomorphs made thinks harder as well." Razorclaw said. "By the way, you apparently knows a lot about them both."
"It seems that, right?" Full-Tilt answered. "It also seems that we have the same enemy..."
"The Yautja." Razorclaw said.
"Exactly, so why don't you come with me?" Full-Tilt said and he walked towards a mass of leaves and branches and he moved the leaves away revealing a metal door of a ship. "We have a lot of information to share."
"Indeed we have." Razorclaw said and he entered the ship with Full-Tilt, the Predacon leader discretely turned on his communicator with Divebomb and Repugnus.
The others inside the pyramid were passing by a corridor. Rampage and Cutthroat were carrying torches when then the former saw some symbols in the walls. "Hey, do you think that this is important?" Rampage asked.
"*Hmm* Perhaps." Sinnertwin said.
"But apparently only Razorclaw can understand the Yautja language, right?" Tantrum said in Rampage's ear.
"Be quiet! I think that I am receiving something!" Divebomb said.
Inside Full-Tilt's ship, Razorclaw told his story with the Yautja. "Are you saying that Tripleblade, the Yautja with the Trident is a Huntress? Interesting, but I thought that only the males could become hunters." Full-Tilt said.
"Well, what can I say? She is a feisty tomboy individual." Razorclaw responded. "So, I told you everything I knew, now it is your turn. How did you discovered so much about the Yautja?"
"Actually this is Demolishor's discovery. You see, he found this ancient PDA, all the information was intact and it showed many data about many things such as the Star Saber and more important about the Pyramid." Full-Tilt said and he raised from his chair and he climbed up a ladder and took some books in a shelf. "I took the freedom of recording every symbol, every little piece of acknowledge from that pyramid and discovered this: the Transformers and the Yautja met before."
"What? How is that possible? Is this all related to the Star Sword and the Pyramid?" Razorclaw asked.
Full-Tilt slid down the ladder and he opened a book. "To understand how both races are related with the Star Sword and the Pyramid we'll have to go further in the Yautja history." Full-Tilt said. "Millenniums ago, a powerful Yautja Elite Hunter called Crimson found a strange weapon buried in his planet. After studying the weapon, Crimson built a sound device that allowed him to control the Xenomorphs and he started to use the creatures in his hunts along with the weapon. The Yautja Elders thought that such tactic was dishonorable and they labeled Crimson as a Bad Blood, an outcast in the Yautja society. Furious with that decision, Crimson used his tamed Xenomorph to wage a bloody war against his own people. After years of conflict the Yautja were on the verge of being exterminated, until the Autobots appeared, they helped the Yautja defeat Crimson and both found a small insignificant planet. There they built a prison to lock the weapon -obviously the Star Saber-, Crimson and his Xenomorph hive."
"Let me guess, the Pyramid is the prison and you released Crimson." Razorclaw said, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Exactly. He taught me how to tame the Xenomorphs and promised that he would give us the Star Saber and in exchange he wants transportation to go home." Full-Tilt said
"My men told that they heard one of your guards saying something about you cloning Crimson to create "mutants" what is that supposed to mean?" Razorclaw said.
"A better option. Instead of answering I'll show you." Full-Tilt said and he pressed a button in his arm that revealed six pods move in the ceiling. Two of the pods opened and from them two creatures jumped out of it and they silently landed behind Razorclaw. They resembled Xenomorphs but they were notably bulkier and taller, they were also paler than normal Xenos, dreadlock like appendages in their heads and bug like mandibles around their mouths.
Full-Tilt pointed over Razorclaw's shoulder and the Predacon looked back and the spook was so big that he fell off his chair and he started to crawl back away from them. "What in Primus's name are those things?!"
"I call them Predaliens, they are Xenomorphs born from infected Yautja. The result is a creature that is stronger and more intelligent than the normal Xenos. Unfortunately with the limited resources I have, I was able to make only six clones thus I was able to create only the six Predaliens that are in this ship with us." Full-Tilt said.
"I see..." Razorclaw said and he rose up. "I think that I know everything I need. So now I'm getting out to solve some loose ends." Razorclaw said and he was about to leave but then the Predaliens stood in front of him and they snarled.
"Did you really think that I didn't notice when you turned on your communicator? I simply told you that information and let you in, because in the end my victory is certain." Full-Tilt boasted.
"Unfortunately there is something that you didn't count with." Razorclaw said and then he took a smoke grenade. The Predaliens stood on their four limbs like animals and then they lunged at Razorclaw that threw the grenade on the ground creating a cloud of gray smoke. The mutant creatures hit each other and Razorclaw he left the ship.
Full-Tilt put his hand in his mouth and he coughed. "Spread out! Hunt him down and kill him!" Full-Tilt ordered. The Predaliens jumped out of the ship and they ran in different directions and went into the jungle. "I have some callings to do regarding our situation." Full-Tilt said and he closed the ship's entrance.
Razorclaw was running until a Predalien jumped from a tree and landed him on his back and bit him in the shoulder, the Predacon groaned and he grabbed the creature and threw it at the ground. The Predalien roared and he lunged at Razorclaw and slashed him with its claws and knocked him down with a stab from its bladed tail in the chest. Razorclaw quickly grabbed his sword and he threw it at the lunging Predalien pinning it at the ground, and then the Predacon leader took a pistol and he blast the mutant monster to pieces killed it. "We can't do this alone. We need the Yautjas' help." Razorclaw thought. "And to earn the assistance from a Yaujta, there is only one thing can be done."
Meanwhile Inside the Pyramid, the others heard all the conversation between Full-Tilt and Razorclaw. "So. what are we gonna do?" Hun-Grr asked.
"First of all we have to think more. Thanks to Razorclaw we know that there is a rogue Yautja and a Xenomorph hive inside the Pyramid, and a Xenomorph hive includes multiple Warriors and Drones, Praetorian Guards and the Queen." Divebomb said.
"Very well, so lets find and kill this evil Yautja and the Xenomorphs!" Tantrum said and he was about to leave until he was hold off by the others.
"We are in numerical disadvantage! If we go attack like that, we'll end up getting killed!" Headstrong said.
"Besides we don't know where the trapping chamber is." Sinnertwin said, Rampage looked at some symbols in the wall and he walked closer to it. "This Pyramid is huge, it could be anywhere!"
"Hun-Grr, Divebomb, come here." Rampage said and said Decepticons went towards him. "Do you think it could be a circuit board?"
"Really? A circuit board? In an old Pyramid?" Cutthroat mocked.
"In fact it could be, considering that this Pyramid was built by the Original Primes and the Yautja, the whole Pyramid could be in fact a giant machine." Hun-Grr said. Divebomb pulled a cable from his arm and he stuck it in a circular hole and he created a holographic of plant of the Pyramid from his eyes.
"So, these purple points here are us, and the trapping chamber is down here." Divebomb said.
"And what are these two yellow points here?" Rippersnapper said.
"I think those are the Yautja." Blot said.
"So we must go there and ask for their help." Rampage said.
"What?! Are you insane?" Tantrum shouted, Headstrong covered his mouth to prevent Xenomorphs from hearing.
"Just as Headstrong said, we can't just go there attacking. And besides, the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Rampage explained.
"What Rampage said makes sense. We must go there if we want to succeed." Divebomb said and he uploaded the information in a round device and gave it to Rippersnapper before the group left. From the ceiling a group of Xenomorph warriors hissed lowly and they followed the Decepticons.
Meanwhile Dark took the dead Predalien and pinned it against a tree with a harpoon. Dark jumped to the top of a tree and jumped from tree to tree, suddenly stopped when he saw a high thermal reading behind a bush with his bio-mask. Dark took a branch and he threw it at the bush revealing a bonfire behind the bush and triggering a net trap. "I thought that you were capable of making traps better than this, Razorclaw." Dark though. Then many sounds of branches and leaves moving was heard and Dark jumped off the the tree to evade the volley of arrows that tried to hit him. Then a sharp spear with a point made of stone flew above Dark's head and cut the tree he was on and he rolled to the side to don't be crushed. "It seems that I underestimated my former apprentice. He stills retains all of his ruthlessness and intelligence." Dark thought.
Razorclaw came running and he grabbed Dark and threw him. though the Yautja was able to land on his feet. Razorclaw took his pistol and got rid of it and he drew his sword and he assumed fighting position, Dark deactivated his shoulder cannon and he took off his mask revealing his face without visible nose and the four arthropod like mandibles around his mouth and he extended his wrist blades. Dark lunged at Razorclaw that defended making sparks of metal clash flying, Dark ran up a tree trunk and he dive kicked Razorclaw in the face and stabbed him in the face. Razorclaw tried to stab Dark that jumped off him with a somersault.
Razorclaw rose his sword with a war cry and he tried to cut Dark that defended with his wrist claws and deflected the weapon and cut him in the hand making Razorclaw release his sword and then Dark jumped and he kicked Razorclaw in the chest and threw him through a tree. Razorclaw fell to a knee and then he cleaned his face and he coughed before transforming to lion mode. Razorclaw ran towards Dark and grabbed him with his jaws and smashed him through several trees before throwing him and smashed against the ground. Razorclaw held Dark's limbs and roared at him. Razorclaw transformed to robot mode and he took sheathed his sword and his pistol and he helped Dark raise up. /Master Dark. I understand that I broke the Hunter law by using my hunter abilities for war./ Razorclaw said in the Yautja language and he knelt down before Dark with his sword jammed in the ground. /But now I ask for your assistance. I know about Crimson and the Xenomorph hive, and I know that your mission is to get rid of then. We both have the same enemy, so please, help us and we shall./
/You defeated me in battle, Razorclaw./ Dark answered. /For that you earned my assistance/
Inside the Pyramid the Decepticons were walking down a series of stairs until they arrived at a big wall. "According to the sensors Divebomb hacked the Yautja are somewhere in this room." Rippersnapper said.
"But they are invisible, so trust all your senses but your vision." Hun-Grr said. Then they heard a loud angry hiss and they turned their heads up to see a group of Xenomorphs on top of a platform fighting something. One of the Xenos slashed the air launching something in the air, static filled the air as the Yautjas' invisibility disappeared and they hit the floor. The Xenomorphs lunged at the Yautjas their horrifying hisses echoing through the room until Divebomb transformed to eagle mode and he tackled them with his body.
"What are you doing Divebomb?!" Tantrum said.
"What do you think? Trying to get their help!" Divebomb answered, a Xenomorph climbed in the wall and jumped on his back and stabbed him in the shoulder with its sharp tail blade making him fall, the creature was about to bite him in the head but then Hun-Grr came running and he kicked the creature to the wall smashing it to death.
Sinnertwin transformed to beast mode and he snarled. "Time to some pay back!" Sinnertwin shouted and he ran forwards and he succeeded in cutting two Xenomorphs in half with his claws and biting one in half. The Yautja seemed surprised that the Xenomorphs' acid blood was melting him. Sinnertwin noticed that and he smirked amused. "Divebomb gave me and the boys syringe shots that gave us temporary immunity to their acid." Sinnertwin said.
"Why are you telling those things to them? They certainly aren't understanding you." Cutthroat said and he stomped on a Xenomorph.
"They can probably understand us. They Yautja are not stupid beasts you know." Divebomb said.
Rippersnapper transformed to beast mode and he evaded an attacking Xenomorph before biting it in half before saying. "And the weird thing is that the Xenos seem to have some intelligence as well."
"If you say so." Tantrum said uninterested and he grabbed two Xenomorph, ignoring the clawing and biting that his hands were receiving Tantrum shamelessly crushed the creatures to death. A single remaining Xenomorph hissed before disappearing through the door where they came from. "Okay, I think we won't have problems with them for some time."
"Unless he went to alert the others." Rampage said. Then he noticed the red lasers on him. "Oh, f*ck me." Rampage complained, the Yautjas with their plasma cannons ready.
"Do what Razorclaw ordered." Divebomb said as he threw his weapons at the ground, and then Rampage did the same and the other Decepticons reluctantly did it before Divebomb said. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Can you...Understand me?" The Yautja turned their attention to Divebomb. The small one with the Trident, Tripleblade turned her attention to her bigger and older brother Sharpshot that relaxed and deactivated his plasma cannon and then she deactivated hers and her trident folded into a horn. "Okay, now that it is settled that we are allies, you should lead us to the trapping room where Crimson and the rest of the Xenomorph hive is." Divebomb said. The Yautjas merely passed by their side without making a sound, and the slightly confused Decepticons followed them.
Outside the pyramid the Monsterbots were climbing the building. "Don't you think that this is useless?" Grotesque asked.
"Look, from up there, we can better protect the pyramid from the drones." Doublecross's right head said.
"I think that the pyramid would be better protected from the ground!" Doublecross's left head said.
"And I am sure that no one asked for your opinion! Just obey me!" Repugnus said. "We are close!" Repugnus said and they finished climbing to the top of the pyramid to find The Revenge (Megazarak's destroyer) in the sky above them. "Oh, shoot!"
"'Oh, shoot', indeed!" A blue and gray Cybertronian Stealth Bomber flew from the Destroyer towards them before it transformed into a blue and gray robot with red claws, silver bat wings and a goatee with mustache holding a Mini-Con panel that materialized a gray robot with red face and black legs that jumped to his shoulder. "Greetings Autobots. I am Scourge and this little fellow with me is Fracas. We are here to entertain you." Scourge said and Fracas jumped and transformed into a crossbow and landed in Scourge's right hand and he started to shoot energy arrows at the Monsterbots.
"Let's wreck this Con apart!" Both Doublecross's heads said and he flew towards Scourge that made him hit a tower in the pyramid with a kick, but the Decepticon didn't notice Grotesque that held him from the arms.
"That is it Grotesque, don't let him go!" Repugnus said and then he and Doublecross shot mouth electric blasts hitting Scourge.
"Let. Me. Go!" Scourge shouted and he released himself from Grotesque's grip and then he transformed his left hand into a buzzsaw and he cut Grotesque's right wing and right arm off and then shot energy arrows at Repugnus and Doublecross launching them to the ground. Scourge laughed and he floated down towards the Monsterbots. "And I told Megazarak to wait some minutes before bombard you, so I could fight someone strong. Oh well, it seems that I was wrong and there is no one strong here after all." Scourge said. He heard a loud roar and then he was ran over by Razorclaw that was in lion mode that entered the pyramid at full speed.
Scourge cleaned the mud off his face. "Did someone write down the plate number?" Scourge said and then he was knocked down by Repugnus that hit him in the head heavily.
"Scumbag." Doublecross's heads said and he spit at the unconscious Decepticon.
"Uh...Repugnus, look at that!" Grotesque said as three Predaliens rushed out of the jungle and jumped over them and tried to enter the Pyramid, but the Monsterbots held them by the tails and threw them away. The Predaliens roared and they engaged the Monsterbots in battle.
"We can't let those things enter the pyramid! We must stay and fight, even if this lasts 17 hours!" Repugnus exclaimed.
"17 hours? Forgive me for raining on your parade but we won't last 17 hours! We'll be lucky if we last 17 minutes!" Grotesque said.
Inside the Pyramid the other Decepticons and the Yautja walked down a series of stairs towards the trapping chamber where were Crimson, the Star Saber and the Xenomorph hive. "Once we go down there we shall kill all the Xenos and Crimson before taking the Star Saber." Divebomb said as they came near the end.
"Divebomb." Rampage said.
"We shall give fire support to the Yautjas by killing the Xenos so they can attack Crimson and get the Star Saber." Divebomb said.
"Divebomb!" Rampage repeated exasperated. "We arrived." Divebomb looked forwards and he saw a large room that was covered in a black hard resin webbing and had dozens of Xenomorph warriors and drones. In the middle was the Queen, a 18,4 feet tall Xenomorph with a large crest in its head, two pairs of arms, in its rear was a huge bulging egg sac attached to the ceiling by a series of resin ropes. By its side were two similar but smaller Xenos with head crests as well but only with a pair of arms and they were 14,3 feet tall, those were the Praetorians, the Queen's Elite Bodyguards.
A mechanical arm on the ceiling grabbed a stasis pod in the ceiling and moved it to the ground in front of the Xenomorph Queen, its door opened a lot of steam left by its sides. Then from the stasis pod appeared a muscular 8,66 feet tall Yautja wearing crimson and black armor and it wore a bio-mask with two small horns in the forehead, slim reptilian like eye holes and a mark of honor between the horns. Tripleblade almost that instantly unfolded her trident and activated her plasma cannon and she roared like an angry feline, Sharpshot instinctively held her by the arm. /So the elders were prepared if I escaped. *Hmm* Elite Hunters. But you are too young. You don't have the experience./ Crimson said
/We are more than enough for you!/ Tripleblade roared.
/Maybe, but what about them?/ Crimson said gesturing to the Xenomorphs. He pressed a button in a wrist device that stated to generate a sound and the Xenomorphs started to get a little agitated until some were killed by the Decepticons. /Very well, if that is what you want./ Crimson said then he extended a pair of wrist blades and he turned invisible. Tripleblade and Sharpshot turned invisible as well. The Decepticons were startled when they saw a series of sparks flying and heard sound of metal clashing and they heard steps in the stairs but they saw nothing.
Outside the Monsterbots had finished their fight with the Predaliens, and they tied Scourge against a rock with vines. "Okay, now let's..." Repugnus was saying but then they heard sound of metal clashing and many sparks flying. It were the three Yautjas fighting and then they arrived at a treeless glade and undid their invisibility. Crimson threw three Mini-Con panels up and then three flying Mini-Cons materialized and then they transformed into jets and combined into a giant sword, that was the Star Sword and Crimson grabbed it with both hands. Sharpshot drew his machetes, and Tripleblade grabbed her trident with both hands and they three Yautjas rushed to fight.
Inside the Pyramid the Decepticons started to shoot at the attacking Xenomorphs that were climbing up the stairs. "We can't allow a single Xeno escape, otherwise many will die!" Headstrong said.
"This is not working! Terrorcons Combine!" Hun-Grr said and the Terrorcons combined "Abominus!" Abominus took his Shadow Cannon and he started to shoot at the Xenomorphs. "Yeah! Now I want to see these freakish monsters leaving!" Abominus shouted.
"I don't think they are trying to escape! I think they are here to prevent us from leaving." Headstrong said, a Xenomorph warrior jumped from the ground and landed on his chest and bit him in the face while clawing him. The rhino like Decepticon panicked and then he grabbed the Xenomorph and threw it away and shot it to pieces mid-air.
Then the Decepticons and the Xenomorphs heard a loud roar and another door opened and them Razorclaw that was in lion mode jumped and he transformed to robot mode mid-air and he drew two stone blade axes. Razorclaw landed and he started to slaughter the Xenomorphs with spinning attacks, Razorclaw threw his acid damaged axes smashing a Xeno and then he threw a volley of grenades and the explosion killed the remaining Xeno drones and warriors. "I'm sorry I am late, I think I took the longest way here. But now let me...You let me handle these monsters!" Razorclaw said while slowly drawing his sword and roared like an animal.
Meanwhile, Tripleblade went for a stab towards Crimson that easily evaded and he knelt her in the chest and then cut her in the stomach with the Star Sword and threw her at a tree with a kick. He heard an angry growl and then Sharpshot tried an attack from behind with his machete swords but Crimson easily defended and then cut him in the chest and cut off his left hand. Sharpshot walked backwards while holding his bloody stump. Crimson made a low growl and he raised the Star Saber to finish him, but then Dark jumped out of the jungle into the glade with a furious roar and he attacked Crimson in the head scratching him in the mask. Both the Yautjas looked at each other before they took off their masks. And then they roared before charging to fight each other.
Razorclaw roared and he rushed towards the queen. The Praetorians hissed and they rushed to attack the Predacon that defended the claw attacks with his sword. One of the creatures spit a gush of acid but Razorclaw evaded it and then he stabbed the other Praetorian and kept his sword on it, and then he grabbed the Praetorian that spit acid on him and pry its mouth open until broke its head in half, before cutting the arms off the other Praetorian and beheading it with a loud lion roar. The Xenomorph Queen hissed, and then it shed its egg sac while crying of pain. Then it roared with a high-pitched voice and lunged at Razorclaw.
Dark defended Crimson's stab and then he kept trying many attacks that were being defended by Crimson that then locked weapons and then Dark deflected the Star Saber to the side and kicked Crimson in the head and cut him in the cheek. Razorclaw defended the multiple claw attacks until the smaller hands grabbed his leg and knocked him down, the queen then tried to stab the Predacon leader's head but then he rolled to the side and cut its tail off, the queen growled and rammed Razorclaw with its head crest and launched him into a wall. Dark did many attacks that were being defended by Crimson that was retreating backwards, until his attacks made the Star Sword fly away and Dark ran towards Crimson with his wrist blades ready. Razorclaw recovered and then he ran towards the queen and easily evading its attacks; - And then both Master Hunters stabbed their opponents defeating them.
Razorclaw took his sword off the dead Queen and then he roared triumphantly like a male lion. Dark looked at Crimson and then he noticed the Star Saber that was an inch away from him. /Crimson...What did you really want?/ Dark asked. Crimson's mandibles moved like a smile before he closed his eyes and he fell dead on the ground. The Monsterbots followed the noises of battle and they found this scene: Tripleblade that was treating Sharpshot that was without an arm and Dark that was looking at the dead Crimson but then he turned his head to the Monsterbots.
"So, was he your friend?" Repugnus said even if he couldn't understand the Yautja's language.
Dark put his mask back and then a static sound left it. "Not exactly...But I think my fellow Yautja and I judged him wrongly." Dark answered for the Autobots' surprise in English.
"Now he talks?!" Grotesque said.
"Is there some kind of translator in your mask?" Doublecross's left head asked.
"A translator? Yeah, right! This jerk was probably just screwing with us." Doublecross's right head said.
"Actually...Some of us have translators in our masks. It can be really helpful in the hunts if you know how to use it." Dark explained.
"I hope the others are okay, they were out for quite some time." Repugnus said.
"We are better than you could imagine." They turned back and saw the Predacons and the Terrorcons leaving through the vegetation with Razorclaw dragging the Xenomorph Queen's corpse.
A static sound left Dark's mask /Did you destroy the Xenomorph Hive and sealed the pyramid?/ Dark asked.
/Yes./ Razorclaw answered. "So there is only one thing left: take down the Decepticons that tried to use the Xenomophs as weapon, for good."
Full-Tilt cut the vines tying Scourge with a knife with the last Predalien patrolling near. "You know. You don't have to be a scientist to cut through vines." Full-Tilt boasted with a grin. Scourge merely scowled. Then the Predalien started to hiss angrily. "What is wrong Alpha?"
Alpha assumed fighting position and roared as the Yautjas, the Monsterbots, Predaking and Abominus appeared to fight them. Dark, Tripleblade and Sharpshot lunged at the Predalien that used its tail blade to clash with the trident and then he tried to slash Tripleblade that was defended by her brother's machete and Dark went towards him with his wrist claws ready. Alpha growled and then it broke two of the trident's points before attacking Dark with its free arm and jumping back, Sharpshot took his shurikens with his hand and launched them at Alpha that dodged and took the shurikens mid-air and launched them back to he Yautjas that evaded. "We have to get out, now!" Scourge said and he transformed to jet mode. Full-Tilt took a gun and he shot a grappling-hook that held onto Scourge, Full-Tilt whistled and then Alpha stopped its assault on the Yautjas and then it jumped on his feet and climbed to his shoulder before Scourge flew at high-speed and entered the Destroyer.
"We can't let that Destroyer escape! Everyone, blast it to pieces!" Predaking roared and he started to charge energy in his shoulder cannons and in the lion face in his chest. "BEAST KING ROAR!" Predaking shot a powerful lion head shaped orange energy blast.
"SHADOW ENERGY CANNON!" Abominus charged and shot a black and purple energy blast. The Monsterbots shot electric blasts from their mouths and the Yautjas charged and unleashed all the energies of their plasma cannons in a single blast. They eventually hit The Revenge and they caused a large explosion but nevertheless the ship fled leaving a trail of smoke behind.
"*Whistle of relieve* That was close." Full-Tilt said and Alpha jumped out of his shoulder.
"It was close because your little bug was being extra weight!" Scourge said.
"Scourge is right!" Fracas said and he stood in front of Alpha. "This ugly mutant monster is useless!" The Predalien let out a loud dry roar making the Mini-Con jump and hide behind Scourge.
Back in Amazon the Predacons were watching as the Yautjas entered their ship after cremating Crimson's corpse in a simple pyre. Dark stopped and then he turned his attention to Razorclaw, the Elite Yautja to inside the ship before returning with Tripleblade and Sharpshot, the three of them were carrying a a giant rod and throwing it to Razorclaw. The Decepticon took it, the rod seemed a little short but then it revealed a blade. Razorclaw smiled inside his mask, the Yautjas entered their ship and they left. "What is the meaning of this?" Headstrong asked.
"It seems that I got my honor back by killing the Xenomorph Queen in a 1 to 1 combat." Razorclaw said and he tied the dagger in his waist and he grabbed the creature's corpse and carried it on his back.
"And lets not forget that they gave us the Star Sword as well." Rampage said carrying said weapon and making some swings.
In no time they arrived and entered the Thanatos. Razorclaw put the corpse in the cargo part to be later turned into a trophy, and now he sat on his usual seat. "Divebomb, track the Ark and rendezvous with them." Razorclaw commanded, Divebomb nodded and he started to work in his computer.
"Holy Primus, I am gonna need a seriously long vacation. Me in a house in a paradise like beach with beautiful girls serving me, a beautiful landscape around, and the the complete 1st and 2nd Seasons of Gargoyles." Rampage said.
"What?! This can't be possible!" Divebomb said confused.
"What is the matter, Divebomb?" Headstrong asked.
"The Ark is in Cybertron!" Divebomb answered.
"But, what Optimus and his crew could be doing there?" Tantrum said.
"Does this matter? We must go there, now!" Razorclaw ordered. The Thanatos flew up and left the Earth and went towards Cybertron.
BONUS STORY: HUNT FOR THE ALLSPARK PART 1
Meanwhile in Cybertron at the same time as the Predacons arrived at Amazon. Drift entered a building and he took an elevator up, and he left it and entered a room inside he saw a giant circular table in the center and he also saw Rodimus that was talking to Perceptor and Wheeljack; Powerglide and Cosmos were sat down on a couch listening to Thundercracker that was speaking about a fight he had with a Decepticon called Strika; Inferno was reading some paper files with Sunstreaker talking to him and there was a red eyed hooded Transformer leaned against the wall that Drift didn't recognize.
"How much time do we have left?" Rodimus asked.
"Wheeljack and I calculated that only two or three weeks. And after that..." Perceptor was saying until Drift stopped the scientist.
"Why did you call me Rodimus?" Drift asked.
"Oh, hi Drift. What took you so long?" Rodimus said.
"I had some affairs to take care of. So, what is the reason for calling this group?" Drift asked.
Perceptor went towards the table and he pressed a button, showing a diagram, everyone stopped what they were doing to listen to him. "As you know the Allspark was the power source of Vector Sigma the Supercomputer that created us and sustain life in Cybertron. Wheeljack and I have been studying Vector Sigma, and we discovered that it have been losing energy. The energy levels had reached a critical level and soon it will run out of energy. And Vector Sigma's end, means the end of Cybertron." The others looked at each other and they nodded in agreement that they were in. The hooded Transformer narrowed his eyes.
"What do you think that we can do? This is something above our league." Thundercracker commented.
"Not exactly. Hound studied the remaining dust of the Allspark and he was able to track down the Planet where the Allspark was created. We should go there and forge a new Allspark for without it, Cybertron will be destroyed with Vector Sigma's end." Wheeljack said.
At same time in the underground Doubledealer and Banzaitron were by the side of a radio like device listening to the conversation. There were also other Decepticons there: Oil Slick, a Decepticon with red eyes that wore a glass helmet and he also had long arms with long claws and sparks in the arms. Lockdown, a green Decepticon with white head, red eyes, a hook in place of his right arm and spikes in his shoulders. Axer a blue and gray Decepticon with red eyes and a head similar to Wheeljack's. "There were rumors saying that the Autobots were preparing some secret operation and for that they needed a strike team. It seems that we confirmed it." Said, Quake, a big Decepticon with a white head, yellow face, white eyes, blue body and purple limbs.
A Decepticon that was sitting on a throne in the shadows narrowed his orange eyes. He had his hands together with his fingers interlocked, covering his mouth. "This situation will prove to be of great help to the Decepticons, my friends." The Decepticon said and he raised from his throne and then he revealed himself. He was purple and black with a bat head like helmet, bat like wings and a dark purple and black cloak with dark gray fur around the collar. "Quake, I suppose your orders are obvious, right? Prepare a ship to follow them."
Quake made a bow before saying. "As you wish. Master Ratbat."
TO BE CONTINUE
Author's notes: I hope I didn't make the Yautjas and the Xenomorphs look too OP. And, yes, the Alpha Predalien will remain a crew member of the Revenge for an undefined amount of time (serious, even I don't know how much :P). Also from now on the majority of the Bonus Stories will actually have some important content. And the answers about how Ratbat escaped will be in the next chapter; and as always, all I ask you to do is review after reading.
