I do not own Transformers
Only own Azura, Crossways and this version of Jinx
Ocean City: Warp Gate
"Grampa! What is going on?"
Optimus turned around to see Azura and Crossways coming straight towards the group. The young white femme had worry all over her face, while Crossways was just hidden from the world behind his faceplate. The Autobot leader was gald that they had finally showed up. He was about ready to have Ironhide to go and get them, but the alarm seemed to have done the job.
"Desert City is under attack by the Terrorcons," stated Optimus.
"What? Uncle Hot Shot is there," gasped Azura.
Optimus nodded his head as he looked over the group that had gather in front of them. Inferno and Ironhide were already to go, Energon Stars attached. Skyblast and Strongarm were busy giving a couple to Azura and Crossways. Kicker and Sally had already suited up and were waiting to move. Both seem to be edger to get leaving…yes, Optimus remember. Their friend, Misha was still in the city.
Now, they had to move. Contact with the city had shut down so they really had no idea of what was going on in the city. Jetfire would meet them there and Demolisher would be staying behind to look after Ocean City. While, to most that seem like a bad idea, Optimus trusted the Decepticon tank. He had to show him that there was most to life then fighting.
"All right, men…"
"Ahem,"
"And women," said Optimus as he looked towards Sally as she had this smug look on her face, "Let's transform and roll out!"
As the team quickly transformed, Crossways couldn't help but have this nagging feeling in the back of his head. It was like telling to be aware of something or someone. He didn't understand it. Then words of Azura's vision were coming to his head…four figures should be there. Maybe that is want that feeling is warning him. Or maybe it was something else different.
"Will you hurry up, 'Ways?" called out Kicker from Ironhide's window, "You are holding everyone up!"
Snapping his attention back up, Crossways saw that he was the only one that hadn't transformed in to vehicle mode yet. All optics and eyes were on him. He could feel a bit of energon rush to his cheeks and thankful that he had a facemask on to hide his embarrassment. Quickly, he transformed and drove up between both Azura and Ironhide.
"Let's go already!"
Desert City
"Ah! There too many of them!"
"Where are they all coming from?"
Hot Shot listen to the shout of his fellow Autobots as they fought off the invading Terrorcons. It seem that there was like ten times the amount that attacked Ocean City. It didn't matter. They had to protect the Omnicons and Energon Mines. Still, he just hope that this was only the worst of it and that Optimus and the others would show up soon.
"Ha ha, look at all the Autobutts fighting," came a giggling voice from above them.
Looking up, Hot Shot just couldn't believe what he had seen. There with the fleet of Terrorcons were the three missing Decepticons. Cyclonus and Jinx were there flying in the air on both sides of the giant titan Tidal Wave. Hot Shot couldn't understand what they were doing.
"Need Energon, Tidal Wave attack," stated Tidal Wave as he let out a barrage of laser fire on to the Autobots that were protecting the door to the mine.
"Agru…Those no good traitors," growled Hot Shot as he tried to fine cover from the shots.
"Ok, Autobutts, we are taking the Energon!" shouted Cyclonus as he entered his own firepower into the attack.
"Hand over the Energon," said Jinx.
"Must revive Megatron," droned on Tidal Wave.
A shock look came across his face, "What! Did he just say Megatron?"
"Yes, he did, now move your yellow aft out of our way!" shouted Cyclonus as he started to dive towards them, but was sent back in a shower of laser fire from the Autobots.
"Smooth move, Cy," giggle Jinx, "My turn,"
She folded her hands together and holded them up in front of her chest, the two fingers closest to the thumb were pointed up. Hot Shot didn't understand what she was trying to do. It was something out of those ninja movies Rad let him and Sideswipe have back in the days. He still had couple of them. The answer to his question soon enough. Pretty soon, there were five Jinxes. Hot Shot's optics widen a bit at the sight of that. How could she do that! No rookie had that kind of tech on his or her body. Then again… she was built during the war and was a Decepticon.
"Charge!" shouted the five femmes as they started to fly right towards the Autobots.
"Fire!" order Hot Shot. He would not allow this femme to make a fool out of him. One of them had to be the real Jinx.
That was hard enough to figure out. While they were trying to find the real one, Cyclonus and Tidal Wave were firing on them. So, they had to deal with all of this plus the Terrorcons. Talk about fighting the odds.
"Oh, boys," came a familiar sing-song voice from behind them.
Hot Shot glance back and just form this scowl on his face. Jinx had gotten past them. She stood there waving at them. Agur how could that happen? Blowing a kiss at them, she just started to run down the hallway that they were trying so hard to protect, towards the mines. Where was Optimus!
"Stop right there," came a commanding voice from above.
Yes, finally. Optimus and the team had arrive, even with Jetfire in the tow. Everyone landed on the ground and transformed except of Azura and Ironhide. They still had Kicker and Sally inside them. But the humans quickly step out and started to join the fight. They were really thankful that Dr. Jones had install a laser weapon into the suit. Now they were dealing with the Terrorcons while the Autobots took on Cyclonus and Tidal Wave.
"I thought that they were on our side?" asked Azura.
"They are all traitors!" respond Jetfire.
"Isn't that a little harsh," replied Azura.
"You mind explaining yourself, Cyclonus? Tidal Wave" called out Optimus as he was trying to understand this whole thing.
"Must revive Megatron!" called out Tidal Wave as he laid down the firepower.
"Yeah, that right, you days are number Autobots!" cackle Cyclonus as he added his firepower to the battle.
"What! Megatron!" gasped Optimus surprise at this. He thought Megatron was dead after the final battle with Unicron.
The Autobots continue to return fire on to the Decepticons and the Terrorcons attacking them. But, they still were pushed back a bit. Hot Shot looked up. He had to tell them about Jinx.
"Optimus! One of the Cons got past us and is heading towards the mines!" called out Hot Shot.
"What! Misha is still in there!" yelped out Kicker as he started to run towards the mine, fighting off the Terrorcons.
"Kicker! Grrr, Ironhide, Crossways! Got after him!" ordered Optimus.
"What? No wa...," said Crossways.
The Prime just send him a cold glared. Gulping back a little bit of Energon, Crossways transformed and sped off with Ironhide after Kicker. Seeing that they were going to needed some help, or at least someone to make sure that they suck to the job, Optimus turned towards Azura and Sally, both who were busy smashing up the Terrorcons.
"Azura, could you…"
Azura just turned to him with a smile on her face, "Watch after them? Sure thing, Grampa,"
She quickly transformed and Sally climb in the front seat. As they zoomed off towards the mines, Optimus just couldn't help but have this bad feeling that something bad was going to happen. Something worst that was going on now.
Desert City, Mines
Misha just watch Skyblast and Strongarm refined the Energon from her booth. The sounds of the battle coming from above her was coming in loud and clear. While, she was thinking that they were going to come after her, they would bound to only go after the storage area. As she enter in the information as Skyblast set the Energon to form the star. All was going according to schedule. All they had to do was wait two minutes for the star to set.
"Nothing will happen," mumbled Misha.
She shouldn't have said that.
Just then, the right wall crashed down. A large blur of green felled down with the rubble and almost on top of the two Omnicons. At once, Misha recognized the being as the Decepticons named Jinx. She saw the femme through the video feed from the outside battle. What was she doing here! The answer to her question came in the form of Crossways dived balling her to the ground again.
"Agru! Why don't you just die!" roared out Crossway as he tried to throw a punch, but the Femme Con just duck.
"Ha, too slow," she giggle, delivering a quick to Crossways' head, sending him crashing into Ironhide.
"Watch it! You three are going to blow us sky high!" called out Strongarm.
They didn't hear him. Jinx continue to fight her way past Crossways and Ironhide in means of escaping the two Autobots. But they blocked her at every turn and smashing up half of the lab in the process. They were all going to died by this way. As Misha watch, Kicker came running into the control room. He was sure glad that she was ok.
"Misha! We have to get you out of here!"
Turning to her friend, Misha had this stern look on her face, "Kicker, we have to make them stop fighting! They could destroy the entire base if a stray laser hits some of the unrefined Energon!"
His eyes widen as soon as he realized that. Why didn't he think of it? Just as he was about to grab the mic to yell at those two to stop the fighting, Sally came crashing to the room. Misha was surprise to see her young friend was still her and in the almost the same outfit at Kicker. Now, he just sigh and shook his head at her.
"Sally, what are-"
"Getting you two out of here! Now move your lover butts out of here!" shouted Sally.
"But-"
"No Buts! Azura had taken care of the femme slut!" roared out Sally as she grabbed both older teens arms and dragged them outside to see for themselves.
There standing next to the large hole where they first came in, was Ironhide, Crossways and the two Omnicons. Ironhide had this jaw lock stare as Strongarm and Skyblast where holding Crossways back. The green Motorcycles just had murder in his optics and the three humans were not sure if it was at Ironhide, the Omnicons or at what was going on. This actually perked Kicker's attention. Looking into the hole, the human star what was going on.
The in the middle of the mine was Azura and Jinx going at it in a hold no bars cat fight, so to speak. They were punching and scratching at each other and would maybe pulled each other hair if they had any. That explained Ironhide's look and Crossways' rage.
"Guys, get out the humans out of here!" I'll take care of the Con!" called back Azura.
"Auto slut!"
"Con whore!"
"Glitch!"
"Harlot!"
"Man, I really didn't know Azura was able to say those words," commented Ironhide.
"Less talking, more running!" shouted Strongarm as the small group head out the back entrance of the mines.
As the group of two Autobots, two Omnicons and three humans ran out the backside of the mine, the earth around them started to shake. Coming out of the back into a large canyon, the group wondered what was going on.
"We have to get out of here," stated Ironhide.
"I'm not leaving witho-" said Crossways
"Never mind, she can take care of herself," said Sally. "Now, lets move."
Misha just send a glance at Kicker as they ran along the sand, "I never would have guess Sally could be so forceful,"
"Yeah…" respond Kicker.
Suddenly, there came a loud sound of thunder. It was coming closer and closer until the group found out the cause too late. They found themselves to be surround by hundreds of Terrorcons. Ironhide and Crossways started at once to blast them away, while Strongarm and Skyblast protect the humans.
Crossways growled as he level his arm lasers at a bunch of them and blasted them. He was not going out like this. Not to a group of mindless drones. Just as it seem it couldn't get any worst, a large shadow over came the area. Kicker was the first to notice and follow to who it was cast it.
"Oh snap!" he moan, "Guys! Watch"
A second later, both Ironhide and Crossways crashed into the cliff wall.
"Out…" moan Kicker as he saw it was too late.
"That got to hurt," said Skyblast.
Rubbing his head, Crossways glared at the mech that had came out of no where. This was no Transformer he had seen before, nor the style of his built. This guy was huge. His armor made Demolisher look like a light weigh and he had this huge claws instead of hands. He stood right in front of their small group. The Terrorcons weren't paying attention to him, so maybe only Crossways could see him, which was so not likely. That only left one thing. This goon was with those Cons
"Ok, big tall and ugly, who do you think you are?" demand Sally shaking her fist at the new comer and having Kicker and Misha trying to pulled her back.
"And here I thought I had a hot head," mumbled Kicker, as he was too busy trying to protect his sister to be one.
"I am Scorponok and that is all you need to know. Now hand over all you energon," the Terrorcon leader demand.
"Now about I give you a knuckle sandwich!" roared out Crossways as he charge forward, landing a punch onto Scorponok's head. But the problem seem that it really didn't do any damage.
"It that your best shot? Well here mine," respond Scorponok as he used his left claw and jabbed Crossways into the dirt.
The green motorcycle never saw it come. It was too fast. Moaning a bit and laying on the ground, he could see that the giant Transformer was about to deliver another punch on to him. Just as Crossways about ready to receive it, a blur of blue and red came charging towards his attack. Ironhide had transformed and launch himself right at Scorponok. They were both down and Ironhide change back to his robot mode as Crossways climb back on to his feet.
"Kicker, you have to get everyone out of here!" shouted Ironhide as he watch Scorponok get back on to his feet and murder in his optics.
"We aren't leaving you guys behind!" called back Kicker, "We are all going to have to work together to defeat him!"
"I am not working with him," roared out Ironhide and Crossways at the same time.
"This is not the time for this!" shouted out Sally.
Just then, Scorponok launched out a huge amount of laser fire towards the group. Diving to one side, Ironhide and Crossways where force to gain cover behind one rock, while the rest of their group were farther away behind another rock. This was not good. Crossways knew that he wouldn't be able to take this Scorponok by himself. He was much too powerful. That only left one thing to do.
"Hey, Ironhead, remember Plan Omega from the academy?"
Ironhide just gave Crossways a look as the laser fire flew by their heads, "The one that you told me you would rather swim with a pit of Sharkitcons than do with me,"
"That the one. Turns out, right now, my hate for tinplate over there out weights my dislike for you. Now, we do this and never speak of it again. Agree."
"Agree."
"Come out and face me Autobots!" roared out Scorponok as he dropped his laser fire and started to march where the two rookies where hiding.
"Now?"
"Now!"
"Eat protons!" shouted Ironhide as he came from behind the rock and started to fire on to Scorponok.
The laser fire didn't even seem to faze him. Scorponok just kept on marching towards Ironhide. A sinster look was in his optics. Just as he seem he was about to punch Ironhide, Crossways in his motorcycle came flying through the air and crashing right into Scorponok's chest. This sent the metal titan backwards, almost crashing into the ground. His attention turned away from Ironhide, to Crossways. The emerald motorcycle skidded to a stop and the driver folded his arms and send a cold glared towards Scorponok.
"You shall pay for that!" roared out Scorponok as he started to charge into Crossways, only to have him ram himself again by the rookie.
Scorponok then fell back more, only to find that Ironhide was kneel behind him, in a classic school yard bully move. He tripped backwards, falling right on to his back. Quickly, Scorponok got on to his knee on to meet the combine force of both Crossways and Ironhide's fists. Together in perfect timing, the two Autobots deliver a kick and punch together right into Scorponok. Finally, they gave him the final blow sending him crashing into the cliff wall.
"Take that, Scropon-nut!" shouted Ironhide.
"Now, take you pests and get off our planet!" added Crossways.
Growling as he stood up, a large portal appear a bit above him. Seeing a cold glare at them, Scorponok said nothing as what was left of his Terrorcons and himself flew into the hole and disappear.
"Yahoo! You guys did it!" cheered Sally as she, Kicker and Misha ran after her with the two Omnicons behind them.
"Yeah…we did," said Crossways as he looked at Ironhide.
"We did do it huh," chuckle Ironhide.
"Well…don't get use to it," said Crossways as he folded his arms.
"I won't,"
"Agru, will you guys ever grow up," growled Kicker as Misha patted him on the back.
"It ok, I am sure that they will get along one day,"
"Crossways! Ironhide! What happen!"
Coming towards them were the rest of the Autobots with Azura all cover with mud. It seem that even the Decepticons were gone for now. Once they left, Optimus and the others found Azura still in the mines after Jinx ran away to catch up with her team mates. She told them that the rest of them headed the other way. Now, they were just glad to see that none of them were seriously hurt.
"We had to deal with this huge metal scorpion going by the name Scorponok," stated Crossways, "But what happen to you Azura?"
"The water pipe burst while I was fighting off Jinx. So, the two of us were fighting like cats, one the ground, rolling in the mud…"
Thud!
The group turned to see Ironhide had faint on the ground. That caused everyone to sweatdrop at him, while Azura gave him a confused look. Was it something she said?
Ocean City
"Crossways, Ironhide could you both come here for a second?" asked Optimus.
It was just a few minutes after they had came back from the whole Desert City attack. They had just came home after finishing cleaning up the whole thing. Both rookies just had confused looks on their faces.
"What is it?" growled Crossways, because all he wanted to do was get to his room and fall asleep.
"I wish to give you two both your Combination Spark for your courage and teamwork today," inform Optimus.
Both of them had their jaws dropped as the Autobots around them just chuckle at them, "Uhh! This isn't some kinda joke, is it!" asked Ironhide.
"Yeah, you have to be?" asked Crossways.
" No, boys, this isn't a joke. Both of your performances in battle were above and beyond the call of duty, soldiers. And as your leader, I was impressed," said Optimus.
With that being said, Optimus open the Matrix from his chest. Of all his years knowing him, Crossways had never seen it up all close like this. Both held out their arms and two bits of light come from the Matrix and enter their spark containment units. Crossways hissed a bit in pain. He would have never this would have hurt. Then again, he didn't know why on Earth he was agreeing to this. Maybe it was because of the lack of energy. Yeah, that had to be it. As soon as the pain came, it stop, but Crossways still felt a little weird on the inside.
"For services rendered, soldiers. You are both now a full fledged member of my team. Welcome aboard," said Optimus.
"I'll make you proud, Optimus-sir. Hehehe..." said Ironhide as he gave Optimus a slaute.
"Suck-up," mumbled Crossways under his breath as Kicker kicked him in the leg, "Hey!"
"Don't ruin this for him," respond Kicker as he glared at Crossways.
"Whatever,"
Off to the side, Azura was just getting a little teary in the optics. She was just so proud of both Ironhide and Crossways. They were able to work together without fighting. Maybe they could be a great team. Sally sat on her partner's shoulder patting her on the head.
"Can you believe it?" she asked.
"Yeah, they both deserve it," answer Azura, "I knew Ironhide since I started at the academy, this was his dream. And this will be good for Crossways."
"Well, I just hope we are going to survive it," giggle Sally, then notice someone off to the side of the group, "Hey, look,"
Azura looked to where Sally was pointing up. It seem that Demolisher hadn't joined in the celebration. He seem to have this face of thought and surprise on. What could he be thinking off. Starting to walk over, Azura felt something on her shoulder. Sally and herself turned around to see Inferno standing there.
"Azura, Optimus wants your help with defense upgrade system," said Inferno.
"I'll be there in a minute, I just want to talk to Dem-"
"I am sorry, but we need to get it done. We may never know when the next attack is going to be," stated Inferno as he gave both a sympathetic look, "Maybe later."
"Ok, Inferno, we'll get on it," answer Sally, "Come on, Azura,"
The white femme just nodded her head and followed Inferno back inside. Before she enter back into Ocean City, she just gave one last glance at Demolisher. She knew something was wrong with him. She just knew it. But she would have to talk to him later.
Once everyone was back inside, Demolisher returned to his post outside. Sighing, he open his thermal of Energon that Azura gave him and took a sip. He just couldn't believe what he had heard from the others. They were back. Cyclonus, Tidal Wave and Jinx, they were all back and working with the Terrorcons. What really shocked him was what the Autobots claim what Tidal and Cyclonus had said.
"This just doesn't make any sense. How is it possible? Re-animated? Couldn't be true. Can Megatron be awakened?"
Hex: Yes, look at all it wonder!
Inferno: I got a couple lines this time
Demolisher: I am please with my part in it
Hex: Good, now until next time, READ, WRITE AND REVIEW!
Inferno: Does she like to say that?
Demolisher: It makes her feel special.
Inferno: Oh...
