I hath returned!
Hunter: What's with the british accent all of the sudden?
Errr... Enough of that! Time to the fic!
Hunter: About time to!
(hits Hunter in head with a duck that appeared outta nowhere)
Duck: QUACK!
Zephyr: The poor duck...
Hunter: (pulls feather out of audio receptor) Why me?
Zephyr: Forget you! Why the duck! LG that was just plain mean!
Errr... The closest thing I had to hit Hunter with.
Zephyr: So you just poofed in a duck?
Basically, yeah.
Zephyr: Your just as bad as Hunter...
Hunter: Is that a good thing?
Zephyr and LG: No.
Hunter: Just asking...
Ehhh... Enough of this to the fic! Last chapter Storm found herself a second minicon!
Zephyr: Which means doom for us.
That's besides the fact...
Hunter: (mutters) She's doomed us all...
(glares then coughs)
Hunter and Zephyr: We're so doomed.

Zephyr: Reeeaaalll smart.
(glares at again)
Zephyr: Meeps!
We left off with a big crash which- Err dun wanna blow it so early. Well Read and Review and I do hope you enjoy.
Hunter: WOULD YOU STOP IT WITH THE BRITISH ACCENT!
Meeps!
Chapter 11: Tenhut Teschio!
Walking into Medbay Optimus had to groan. On one berth was Teschio and the other was LoneGenesis. Both girls were in their animal modes. He happened to take a glance to the berth where QuickSilver laid. She appeared better but when ever someone locked optics with her she cringed and looked away. 'Poor girl...' Thought Optimus turning his attention back to Teschio and LoneGenesis. "Do I even want to know what happened?"
"Most likely not." Answered Jetfire walking in behind him. "Ouch..." Jetfire had to cringe when he got a good look at the two. Teschio wasn't in that bad of shape. Her front paw was a little messed up. LoneGenesis on the other hand was in worse condition. Needless to say she was out like a light. "Oh man LG."
"You can try yelling at her all you want. She's unconscious and probably won't be up for a while." Jetstream announced.
"How's Teschio?" Optimus then asked.
"Her front paw was a little bruised but she'll be up and about in no time."
Nodding in understanding he then asked, "What about LoneGenesis?"
Lauhging sourly Jetstream answered, "Good luck to her! My best guess is that she was running down the hall at probably forty to fifty miles per hour. She tried to jump over Teschio which is why Teschio's leg is messed up. She hit the ground hard enough to totally disconnect the circuits in her legs. Then she hit the wall head first, henceforth her ears and head." She indicated such by pointing to her head, LoneGenesis' ears were shredded and torn and hanging limp. Her head bore deep dents and intrusions in the metal, and out of some of those cuts came a little bit of her pale red energon. "Is her err... I'll call it blood, suppose to be like that?"
"Yes, according to RedAlert it is. Your's is probaly like that also."
"Really?" she had to look at her arm, shrugging it off Jetstream continued, "Well I dunno, right now LoneGenesis has a long recovery ahead of her."
RedAlert walked in and added, "She recovered quickly last time she was injured, I believe that she'll be fine in a day or so."
"Inform me if her condition changes."
"Understood Optimus, sir." RedAlert answered. "Teschio should be recovered enough to return to duty by tomorrow."
"Good." Optimus nodded. "Let's go Jetfire, Jetstream and RedAlert have their work cut out for them."
"That's an understatment." came Streamer tending to LoneGenesis ripped ears.
Following Optimus out of the Medbay Jetfire suggested though it was more of a tease, "I think we'll have to leash her up every now and then."
"Jetfire, no." he simply said, "I made a promise to her when she first arrived that I wouldn't do anything to make her feel locked up and caged. One of the reasons why she's the way she is now and it's most likely the case with the others is the fact that their cut off from those they knew and cared for. I believe their trying to make themselves forget."
"F/X, you sure that Storm won't mind?"
"Don't worry so much Hunter." F/X reassured as he lounged in Storm's driver seat with Hunter on the passenger side.
Constantly looking at her dash board Hunter continued, "I still don't know..."
"Shh... It's starting!" he hushed leaning forward in the seat trying to get a good view of Storm's screen display.
""Welcome its time for 'Whose Line is it Anyway?""
"I love this show..."
Hunter just stared at F/X with uncertainty. "Dude... And Genesis calls me wierd."
""It's time for 'Let's make a date'!""
"I love this show..."
"How's that?"
"OUCH!"
"... to tight. Okay how's that?"
"Alot better. Thanks Streamer!" Teschio thanked in a cheery voice.
Jetstream skoke her head, "Why do you and the others call me Streamer? My names Jetstream now."
Chuckling a little she answered, "It's just a nick name so we dun haveta say the entire thing. Like my name's Teschio but I want people to call me Chio. Makes sense ya know."
"So... That's why you refer to LoneGenesis as LG or Genesis?"
"Pretty much, yeah."
"Is that another reason why you refer to Storm as the 'Insane Cackling Car'?"
Teschio sweat dropped, "Errr... No, not really. We call her that because technically she is an insane cackling car."
"Ohhhh... I see. That explains alot." Jestream nodded her head in understanding.
"So how long until LG's up and about?"
"Depends." Jetstream shrugged readdressing LoneGenesis' ears. "She did take quite a dramatic fall back there."
Teschio sweat dropped, "One would've expected me to do that."
Chuckling, Jestream explained, "Since your up, Optimus told me to inform you to go and see him."
"Really? Okay then. See ya later Streamer." Teschio continued making her way towards the door on three paws.
"Oh and Teschio?" called Jetstream.
Turning around to face Jetstream once again, "Yups?"
"Try not to run around like a lunatic anymore, okay? I don't want to end up piecing you together also." She continued by jabbing a thumb over her shoulder ponting at LoneGenesis.
"Alright to put it simply... I won't do a LoneGenesis." then she left.
Holding her head and shaking it back and forth Jetstream moaned, "Why do I get the feeling that she's going to be back in here in the next twenty hours?"
"Probably because she will be." came Tomahawks reply as she glided over to her partners shoulder.
Sighing, "That's isn't very encouraging..."
If hawks could smile, Tomahawk would've been all smiles.
Walking over to QuickSilver's recharge berth, "QuickSilver, your free to go. Your repaired enough to walk about. Just watch out for flying tigers."
"And when LoneGenesis is up, flying foxes." Tomahawk added with a chuckle.
"That's not very reassuring..." QuickSilver said quietly.
"Trust me it's not..." Jetstream said again with a sigh. "LoneGenesis had a bad go around and now look at her." She stepped out of the way to QuickSilver a look at LoneGenesis.
QuickSilver cringed inwardly but on the outside she didn't show it. Hopping off the berth QuickSilver took a moment to get her center of gravity. "I'll see you later." With that QuickSilver walked off. Her feathered audios furling and unfurling in nervousness.
"I hope she feels better about all this." Jetstream sighed again. "I know she's still upset about all of this but she has to adjust to what she is now..."
"You wanted to see me Op?"
"Yes I did Teschio, how's your leg and paw?" Optimus asked standing before Chio holding a serious tone in his voice. Giving a nervous smile, "I'm fine now. I can actually walk on it without any real pain."
Nodding in understanding, "Good... Teschio I want you to do a perimeter check of the base. I want to to stay away from any human settlements and to keep low and in beast mode, so as to not to arouse panick in the populace."
"Uhh... sure? Why are ya sending me though?"
Turning around to look at the monitor, which showed the surrounding area Prime answered, "We've been picking up strange readings in the northern most part of the sector and we need somebody with a nose to look around. It may be a faint minicon signal but we don't know. I was going to get LoneGenesis to investigate..." He trailed off.
Getting the hint Teschio said, "Sure no problem. When do I go?"
"Right now. I'm having HotShot go with you." Opimus continued.
"Cool. Let's go!" Teschio was already out the door as HotShot started to follow before Optimus stopped him.
"HotShot please keep her in your scan range. Don't let her get ahead of you."
Giving Prime a thumbs up, "No problem Optimus. I won't let her out of my sight." Then he turned and left.
Holding his head, Optimus had to groan, "Why do I get the feeling that somethings going to happen?"
Walking through the halls QuickSilver took note of which way she was going in case she happened to get lost. "I guess I should familarize myself with this base now...' she thought solemnly. 'Cause I'm going to be staying here for now on...' The feathers on her arms rustled as she shivered. Growling she continued through the large endless halls. "I don't even know where I'm going to begin with." Her head was held low so when she rounded a corner she didn't see the large green figure heading her way.
"Hey watch where your going."
Jerking her head up QuickSilver came optic to optic with the golden optics of Scavenger. She jumped back nervously, her hands automatically going over her head, ready to grab her sword.
Hands up Scavneger stated, "I'm not your enemy. There's no need to attack"
QuickSilver loosened up a little but she didn't drop her guard for a second. Optics still trained on Scavenger she didn't see another figure approach.
"QuickSilver it's good to see you up and doing well." came Optimus' voice from behind her.
Streaking around to face Prime, she transformed to hawk mode without hesitation and was on the ground, wings and feathers rustling. Giving off a hissing sound signifing she was startled and afraid, QuickSilver clicked her beak threateningly.
"Impressive transformation." congradulated Scavenger arms crossed and smiling at the hawk.
"I have to agree with Scavenger." came Optimus. "You've mastered your alternate mode."
She continued to click her beak nervously. "Guess I have to now."
Optimus and Scavenger decided to remain silent.
"I'll go check on Teschio and HotShots current status." Scavenger said breaking the short silence, starting to walk off leaving QuickSilver with Optimus.
Looking over QuickSilver's head at Scavenger, Optimus said, "Inform me if anything is amiss."
The green bulldozer just waved a hand in understanding as he walked off and around a corner.
QuickSilver continued to click her beak but it was now less pronounced.
"There's no need to be afraid of us."
She jerked her avian head to look at Optimus, her feathers rustling just slightly. "I heard that before..." she said quietly.
"Just trust me, that's all I ask." Prime bargained kneeling before the hawk.
Hobbling back a few feet her talons clanking on the ground, all QuickSilver did in acknowledgment was incline her avian head in a yes fashion.
"Thank you." Optimus said standing up again. "We'll try our best to make you feel as comfortable as we possibly can. And I'm sure that LoneGenesis, and the others will help you to adjust."
"I-...okay." she said again quietly, transforming and coming to a standing position. Her feathered audios spreading in a relaxed way.
Smiling to himself, "Follow me and I'll show you to the quaters you'll be sharing with LoneGenesis."
"I'll be rooming with her?"
Chuckling, "Well we keep Storm and Teschio in a room and Kinonaru agreed to room with Jetstream. So that leaves you to room with LoneGenesis. That she suggested to me herself."
Confused, "She- she did?"
Nodding, "Yes. I'm not sure if you know this or not but she was the first to be changed."
"That I didn't know."
"Well I guess she seems to be acting as a leader in a sense for you girls."
"F/X, this is pure brilliance!" wooted Circuit. "I see why you like it."
It was two hours later and the little movie party that started off as just F/X and Hunter turned into a six minicon movie party, with Nekogal, Circuit, Griffin, and TomaHawk. Zephyr and Desperado were off to the side trying to ignore all of them.
"Good partners are so hard to come by these days." sighed Zephyr.
"I know." came Desperado. "Let's pretend we don't know them"
"Agreed." then the two walked out.
"Teschio slow down some would ya! What's wrong with ya anyway?"
"I smell something..." the tiger answered with her nose in the air. "It's familiar... Like when I found Circuit."
"A minicon?" HotShot then asked.
Looking around, "I'm not sure... It could be. Let's go find out." As Teschio started to trot off around the hill with HotShot following. "I think it's somewhere over he-EEERRR!" She yelped as she tumbled down an old mining shoot.
"Teschio you alright!" he called after her.
"Jetstream's gonna kill me."
Sighing in relief he had to laugh a little, "That's good to know. Come on up so we can keep looking."
"'Kay!" she called up but stopped when something caught her nose again. Sniffing the air her eyes lit up, "Hey! I think I've found it!"
Coming ot the edge of the mine shaft HotShot answered, "What the minicon?"
"Yeah! Give me a sec!" she called up again as she wandered further into the mine, her nose leading her. Walking for what seemed to be an hour she came to a large room. On the far side of the cavern a faint green light was. Laughing lightly Teschio muttered to herself, "Score!" Prancing lightly over to the minicon panel, Teschio used her paw and started to claw out the panel. With it resting neatly in her awaiting paw she watched as the panel started to activate. Before her eyes came a stunning silver and and army green minicon. His half faceplate giving him a very distictive look as his red optics glistened.
"Deputy reporting for duty!" her saluted her in a militaristic voice.
"Errr... Right. Well hey there Deputy the name's Teschio!" She gave a him a grin the best she could considering she was in tiger mode.
"That's not typical military lingo miss!" He repremanded her. Jumping from her paw to the ground he ordered, "Drop and give me twenty!"
"Uhh... Why?" she asked tilting her head confused at to what he was getting at.
Grunting in disapproval he leaned down and fired the large barrel gun that was on his back at Teschio's front paws. "I said drop and give me twenty!" His voice held no room for argument.
"YES SIR!" she yelped as she did the tiger equalvalent of twenty push ups. Gasping she staggered to her feet again, "How was... how was that?"
"Patheitic!" he spat at her. Jumping up onto her back he ordered, "Now then missy! March!"
"YES SIR!" she squeaked again as she started to trot to the entrance of the mine with her drill sergeant on her back.
"Come on run you maggot!" He jabbed her on the shoulder.
"I'm running as fast as I can!"
His optic twitched, he leaned over and fired a shot to the tip of her tail causing her to yelp.
"YEEOW!" she practically tripled her speed.
Waiting at the top of the shaft HotShot was about to go down after when he looked down to see her scaling the wall with the minicon on her back. "Hey you found it!"
"No kiddin..." she grunted.
"Stop talking!" ordered Deputy.
"Sir!" chorused Chio.
"Wow a minicon with an attitude." laughed HotShot.
Teschio's eyes twitched before she muttered, "HotShot... I'm gonna to hurt ya."
"NOT BEFORE I GET TO!"
Attention turning to the sky, Teschio and HotShot came to look at the helicopter form of Cyclonus. "You I really hate..." groaned Teschio again dragging her aft out of the shaft.
"Just give me the minicon and maybe I'll leave ya alone."
"Not on your life bolts for brains!" HotShot countered.
Deputy just stood there glaring at the helicopter Decepticon. "With an attitude like that? You soldier are a pathetic maggot."
"You calling me a maggot?... Not that I know what a maggot is but still! You lousy minicon! Your gonna pay for that!" Cyclonus then started to level his gun at the trio.
"This soldier needs to be put in his place... Corporal Teschio, I suggest that we teach this ingrate a lesson." He turned his red optics to catch her green ones.
"Right! DEPUTY TRANSFORM AND COMBINE!"
The cannon on his back flipped forward and replaced his head as his arms and legs came together to form the hilt of his alternate mode, a big high powered rifle. He fitted himself on her back between the shoulder blades. Looking over her shoulder quickly she gave a toothy tiger grin before she looked back up at Cyclonus again who gaped at her. "Deputy, sir.. You rock!" She then sent a threatening look up at Cyclonus. "Prepare to eat dirt!" Charging up Deputy's weapon form she let loose a shot that soared right at him and hit him straight in the face, the recoil pushing her back some. Falling from the smoke cloud Cyclonus' twitching and burning form fell to the desert floor.
"Woah..." gaped HotShot.
Teschio was smiling from ear to ear as Deputy transformed and came to stand at her side. "Dude that was great."
"He needs to know when to repsect his superiors." he simply said.
"Don't give Teschio any ideas please." came HotShot.
"Awww..."
"We should get back to base and let Optimus know that we got the minicon." HotShot then suggested looking at Teschio, he then caught a glimpse of her tail which was scorched a nice and crispy brown. "You have either RedAlert or Jetstream take a look at your tail."
She had to grumble, "Oh man... Jetstream is so gonna have my hide for this..." They then started their way back to base.
Four hours later practically every single minicon in the base was gathered around Storm trying to watch F/X's 'Whose Line is it Anyway?' marathon. The amazing thing about it all was the fact that Storm was still asleep.
"Man F/X! I'm lovin this!" Jolt spoke in a southern accent. (who knew?)
"Yeah, the best thing these humans have thus far!" this came from Longarm in his thick Italian accent. (gasps... wait... Longarm's Itailian?)
"Not true! The NIntendo DS is still reigning supreme!" Hunter then commented waving around the hand held.
"Shut up all of ya!" F/X hissed. "Their playing the next game!"
""It's time for 'Scenes from a hat!""
There was a gathered cheer.
"I love this show." F/X was practically in a dream sequence of his own.
"Oh man... Who ran me over..."
"You ran yourself over." laughed Jetstream as she walked over to LoneGenesis followed closely by RedAlert. "Glad to see you responsive at least."
"How do you feel?" asked RedAlert with a smile on his face.
"One word... Ouch."
"Ahh very descirptive." commented Jestream sourly addressing Genesis' ears. "Could you give us a clue as to what actually 'ouches' more?"
Trying to move her legs, "... My back legs. I can't move or feel them and I have the biggest migrane possible."
"Well that would be the walls fault that has a nice imprint of your head on it now." smiled RedAlert.
Growling lightly, "Ha ha ho he yeehaw..."
"Wow that was a mouthful." grinned Jetstream.
"Speaking of which hold her down so I can get a better look." RedAlert said as he started to prod into her leg joints.
"YWARH!" Genesis howled before Jetstream grabbed her jaws and held her front end down.
Grunting while trying to hold the squirming fox down, "Hold still. Your squirming is gonna make him pull something that you most likely don't want pulled."
The fox gave a low growl as she tried to hold still.
"Hmmm..." went RedAlert as he poked into her left back leg ankle joint.
"WARH!" it came out all mumbled as Jetstream held her jaws shut.
"There's feeling, that's a good thing."
"Chill LoneGenesis." Jetstream said from next to her head. "He's almost done." She shot the medic a glance as if saying, 'Please hurry up before she claws my arms off!'
She gave a muffled reply through Jetstream's closed hands, "I hope so... Cause I really don't like being tinkered with if you get my drift..." He optics flashed dangerously.
"Oh..." Jetstream understood. Little did the others know that she felt the same way about being fixed up. It was bringing back horrid memories. She looked up at RedAlert with an understanding look. "Hey Red! You almost done?"
"Give me a nano-click... There." He finished by closing one of the panels on her legs. "You can let her go."
Releasing LoneGenesis, Jetstream took a step back and asked, "Now was it really that bad?"
Straining to get herself somewhat in a sitting position LoneGenesis inspected her back legs by wiggling her claws. "I really need to stop doing the stupid things I do..."
"Don't we all?" grinned the jet, arms crossed over her chest.
Chuckling as he shoke his head, RedAlert told the fox, "You'll have to stay here for a day or so, but your other injuries healed over well."
"The pros to being a hybrid." sighed the fox as she laid down, her head resting on her paws.
Jetstream gave the fox a cruel smirk before walking in front her and leaning down. "You'll be glad to know that you had a visitor while you unconscious..."
"Let me guess... Prime to scold me and my stupidity?"
"No... Besides you scolded yourself for that."
Genesis grumbled.
Jetstream smirked again as RedAlert tried to hide his silent laughing. Bending down she whispered into her ear. "Blurr came to see how you were doing."
LoneGenesis rolled off the berth and landed on the floor with a crash. "WHAT?"
Jetstream just laughed, "You heard me. He came in to see how you were doing." She looked towards RedAlert who walked over to help LoneGenesis back up onto the berth.
"He did." RedAlert smiled. "He seemed worried about you."
The fox twitched, "He- he did?"
All RedAlert did was nod with a smile in his face.
Genesis mumbled more as she was placed back on the repair berth again. "My torment never ends..."
Patting her on the back Jetstream said again, "I know, I know... Oh and stay far away from Teschio for now on. She found herself another minicon... And let me tell you he has an attitude... Plus his alternate mode is a gun."
"Crap... we're doomed..." Genesis sighed then asked. "Where's Hunter and Zephyr?"
Eight hours later... As if they raided the local dump, all the minicons were gathered around a big screen as they watched 'Whose Line it is Anyway?' all sitting on assorted couches and chairs, a wire leading from Storm's heads up display to a projector. That was until Storm started to wake up.
Yawning, "Oh man..." She stopped adruptly and stared. There had to be at least eighty plus minicons gathered around her car form all staring at a big screen. There were a handful even sitting in her and on her roof. "WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?"
Hovering above a vast desert a dark, and yet shimmering figure looked out before him. "So... Guardian, you fled to this world for protection and yet you failed to cover your trail..." His smirk was as ghastly as his form. A dark and firey mane hanging from his head as his ruby red optics shun in the sunlight. Dark wings hung from his waist acting as a cape. A clawed shield adorning his right arm as a gleaming rapier hung from his back. "With your passing... The line of Guardians will be forever a story as I finally fulfill my destiny." With a flap of his wings he reverted to his alternate, a dark phoenix and with a cruel, crow like call, "I, Daemon swear to destroy you... Kinonaru, Guardian of Flame!"
Perched outside Autobot base, Kinonaru watched the setting sun, a nervous look plastered on her face. "So... You came after all Daemon... My brother..."
TBC
HAHA! Cliffhanger!
Storm: EVIL!
Teschio: And you had to have me find the one minicon that's the complete opposite of my personality!
Hey you wanted a weapon so I gave you a rifle, so what if he's the army equivalent of a drill sergaent?
Teschio: The fact is LG is that he has me doing push ups!
;D Hey you never specified on what the personality should be like. Besides now you got firepower!
Teschio: Well, that does happen to be a good thing.
XD Well as to next chapter, there will be chaos and destruction of some sort... I have yet to figure out of what kind but I promise it will be absolute chaos! Hmm... Who should get the next minicon? Ahh I got it! Read and Review and look forward to the next chapter!
