Night's The Time For
A Flight
Part Three
By: Flyby
"Tarantulas,
have you finished repairing the machine yet?" asked Megatron.
"Yes. It should work better than it did last
time," chuckled the spider.
"It
better, for your sake. Dinobot,
Rampage, Quickstrike, you three will go out and retrieve the new maximal. And I want her alive, yess. Now go!" ordered Megatron. The three turned and left the Pred base.

"It
sure is pretty out here," commented Niteflite. Her and Cheetor were sitting by a lake, looking at the stars.
"Yeah,
well it isn't as beautiful as you," replied Cheetor, looking her in the
optics.
Niteflite
smiled at him, then leaned toward him, pressing her body against his. As soon as their lips met, the two forgot
about everything except each other.
Suddenly,
a blast came out of nowhere, flinging the two Maximals apart.
"Oh,
man. Not the Preds!"
Dinobot's
optic cannon hit Cheetor in the chest, sending into stasis lock. Niteflite narrowed her eyes and shot her gun
where she thought Dinobot was. Luckily,
she was right and the shot took the transmetal two velociraptor's head off. She then fired at Quickstrike, who got his
cobra head/hand blown to pieces. Now
Rampage was the only one left to fight Niteflite. She shot at him, but her gun had little affect on him. He shot the ground beneath her, causing her
to lose her balance. The mutant kicked
Niteflite in the stomach. She went
unconscious.
Reverting
to beast mode, the transmetal crab put Niteflite on his back then went to tank
mode. He left Dinobot and Quickstrike
there. They were not his concern.
Cheetor
woke up much later. The sky was
starting to turn red with the sunrise. He looked, but couldn't see Niteflite. He was alone (Megatron had sent Waspinator and Dragonite to pick up the
two fallen Predacons).
"Niteflite,
nooooooooo!" screamed Cheetor in sorrow. Then he turned on his com. "Cheetor to Optimus."
~Optimus
here. What's the matter?~
"Niteflite
and I went out for a walk last night and we were attacked by Predacons. I just woke up. Nite's nowhere to be found. I... I think the Preds took her."

"If
your going to kill me, get it over with. I hate long waits," snarled Niteflite. She was sitting on a platform with what look like a modified
laser relay pointed at her. Her hands
and feet were chained up.
"Kill you? I think not, noo. We're just going to reprogram you," said Megatron. He pressed a button on his throne. The reprogramming machine came to life and shot a beam at Niteflite. During the entire process, she screamed, "Nooooooooooooo!"
