Hello, my fellow Autobots! Once again, thank you all so much for your support through this story. Just knowing that people actually read this is already enough encouragement to keep writing. I mean, obviously, I would like it if all of you reviewed, favorite, and followed, but hey, I'm not gonna complain about a good thing.
Anyways, in this episode of Team Storm, the girls will be formally meeting the chain of command at Autobot headquarters, meet the Wreckers, and meet everyone they will be working with once they are given jobs to do at Iacon. Oh, also, our little Predacon shall be named! And no, it won't be Toothless. Come on, guys, I'm not that unoriginal!
Lightning: Yes you are
Ember: Ooh! You just got burned!
Lightning: But I have no means of burning him, unless of course I electrocute him, but if I burned him while doing it I might actually kill him
Ember: *Sighs* Remember that time I tried to teach you what a figure of speech was?
Lightning: Yes?
Ember: *Raises eyebrow*
Lightning: Oooooh... oh yeah...
Anyways, that's all for now, so remember to read and review! Without further adieu, here's Chapter three of Team Storm!
Rosalina groaned, rubbing her helm as she slowly sat up. Her optics still offline, she was thinking that she was having the best dream ever. But when she opened her optics, they instantly lit up when she realized where she was; Ratchet's med-bay in Iacon.
At that very moment, Ratchet walked in from a connected room. Smiling down at the younger femme, he said, "Ah, you're awake. Come on, now. Your friends are already awake, and have explained to me everything about your history, which I have sent to Optimus so that you would not have to explain yourselves more than what you would like."
Rosalina nodded at the medic, walking through the door into the main room of the med-bay to see her friends standing there. As they all stood there, Ratchet had them stand still in a straight line. "Now, I've already repaired all external damage to you, but it seems as though most of your injuries had been fixed."
"And that's thank to this femme right here!" Ember exclaimed proudly, patting her twin on her shoulder.
As Lightning shoved her twin, Ratchet asked the blue racer, "You're a medic?"
"Yes, sir. Well, training to be one, sir."
Smiling slightly, Ratchet said, "Well then, looks like you'll be working with me."
"Alright, sir."
Ratchet, after putting away his scanner, said to them, "Well, you all check out. Nothing that needs repairs for the time being... however, I would strongly suggest that you all come by the end of the week to get shots against any harmful viruses that you might not be accustomed to." After they all nodded, he started to walk towards the door, saying, "Now, come on. It's time for you to meet the higher ups."
At the door to Optimus's office, Ratchet knocked on the door. Not even a nanoklik later, Optimus said, "Come in."
Ratchet opened it, letting the six femmes walk in first before he walked in and closed the door behind him. He then went to stand next to the others that were standing by Optimus's desk. The afformentioned Prime looked up, and Rosalina thought that her knee joints just might give out underneath her. However, intending on making a good first impression, she stood up straight, and looked him in the optic.
Optimus stood up, and walked in front of his desk. Then, facing the new femmes, he said, "Hello there. I am Optimus Prime, and these are my head officers," pointing and the black and white Praxian, he said, "That is my second in command and head tactician, Prowl."
"Greetings."
"My third in command and head communications officer, Jazz."
"What's shakin'?"
"You already know my head medical officer, Ratchet."
He nodded his head to them, cleaning an ever-present wrench with a light blue rag.
"My head weapon specialist, Ironhide."
"Hey there."
"My lead scientist, Wheeljack."
"Hiya!"
"The leader of the femme division, Elita One."
The slightly older pink femme smiled at them, saying, "Hello there."
"And lastly, the leader of the Wreckers, Springer, and his second in command, Lu - wait, where are-"
"Sorry we're late!" Luna screamed, running through the door - and crashing right into Lightning. As the two fell, Ember tried to catch them, but ended up being pulled down along with them.
The others struggled to contain their laughter as they struggled to get up, until Springer ran in, yelling, "Wait for-"
He stopped short as he tripped over the squirming pile of femmes, and ended up bringing Blacklight and Jade down with him. Finally, everyone except for Prowl, Blacklight, and Lightning burst into laughter.
Luna, after realizing who she had partially tripped, shot to her feet from underneath the twins and walked over the other femmes to help Springer up, saying, "Sorry, sweetspark!"
"It's alright, Luna! I'm fine, see?"
After the two of them helped the other femmes back up, Rosalina asked, "Guess it's our turn now, isn't it?"
Optimus nodded, looking her in the optic.
After clearing her throat slightly, she started to introduce her team. "This is Blacklight, my second in command, tactician, and interrogator."
The black and gray femme gave them a crisp salute.
"Sonic Boom, my third in command, inventor, and communications officer."
Sonic waved to them, smiling slightly.
"Ember and Lightning Strike, the twins and front liners. Ember is my weapons and demolitions specialist, while Lightning is our medic."
Ember gave them a peace sign, while Lightning just stood there, crossing her arms.
"Jadewing, our team spy."
The small seeker tried in vain to hide behind Sonic's leg, waving shyly at Optimus and his officers.
"Then, lastly, is myself. I'm Rosalina Prime." She smiled, and said, "Nice to meet you all."
After their introductions, Prowl asked Sonic, "Is there a cyber kitten in your pack?"
The silver femme smiled slightly, before looking over her shoulder at the twitching audio receptors of a small cyber kitten. "C'mon, sweetspark. Say hello to the nice mechs and femmes."
The ears seemed to sink lower into the pack, and there was a barely audible, "No. I don' wanna."
"One of them is Auntie Luna~."
"Pwincess Wuna!" Silver Claw suddenly exclaimed, jumping out of the pack and leaping at where Luna was.
"SI! YOU'RE HERE!" Luna caught the jumping sparkling, and proceeded to cuddle her to her cheek.
"A sparkling?!" everyone except for Springer and the new femmes exclaimed, optics wide as they stared on.
Looking Sonic directly in the optic, Optimus asked, "Who's her Opiluk?"
Sonic suddenly tensed up, her optics starting to look blank.
Quickly stepping before her longtime friend, Rosalina waved her hands in front of herself, explaining, "We, uh, prefer not to talk about he-who-shall-not-be-named."
Optimus slowly nodded, muttering, "I understand. Forgive me for asking."
"N-no, it's... it's alright." Sonic muttered, rubbing her left bicep as Silver got out of Luna's grip and walked over to her carrier.
Clearing her vocalizer, Rosalina said, "Well, that's Team Storm for you. So... what now?"
Optimus chuckled slightly, a deep sound that made the femme Prime's flutter slightly. Then, speaking to Luna and Springer, he said, "Well, I believe that two certain Wreckers wanted to introduce you to their team..."
"Oh, right! C'mon, guys! Let's go!"
The Wrecker femme grabbed Springer and Rosalina's servos, and practically dragged them away, the other femmes following as they laughed silently.
When they had gone done a few halls, Luna slowed down and let go of Rosalina's servo. However, she still held Springer's left servo, and they walked side by side as they led the younger femmes to wherever the Wreckers were.
Ember tapped on Luna's shoulder, and she turned around, a curious look in her optics.
"So... how long?" Ember asked, grinning widely.
"How long... what?" Luna asked, clearly confused at the question.
Ember rolled her optics behind her visor, and said, "You know what I'm asking! How long have you two been an item?"
Luna smiled slightly, and replied, "Two years now."
"And yet they're still not bonded."
"Hey, Bulkhead."
The younger femmes looked up at the dark green mech, and noticed that he actually looked like the version of himself from the Transformers Prime universe.
Looking at the group of femmes behind the two, the large mech asked, "Who are the newbies?"
"Remember those femmes I told you all about?" Luna asked in response.
"Ah... so, you guys are the ones Luna talks about so often?"
"Yeah we are!" Ember replied, jumping and giving Luna a surprise hug from behind. Lightning just shook her head, pinching the bridge of her nose.
Bulkhead chuckled before saying, "From what I remember Luna telling us, you're Ember," he pointed at the red femme that was still on Luna's back, "and you're her twin, Lightning Strike."
"That's correct, Bulky!" Ember replied.
"Affirmative."
Then, looking at the little seeker that was currently trying to hide behind Rosalina, he smiled kindly and asked, "Hey, you're Jadewing, right?"
"Y-you can j-just call m-me Jade."
He chuckled again, before turning to the femme in front of Jade, and said, "You must be Rosalina."
"Actually, it's Rosalina Prime."
"Prime, huh? Haven't heard of a femme Prime since Solus." Bulkhead then chuckled and patted her shoulder, saying, "But from what Luna told me, you deserve it."
"Thank you."
"No problem." He then turned to the femme to the left of Rosalina, and said, "And you're Blacklight, right."
"That is correct, my good mech."
He smiled, then turned to the last femme, whom stood on Rosalina's right side. "Then you must be Sonic Boom. Don't you have a sparkling?"
The communications officer nodded, and pressed the button on her shoulder. Almost immediately, the backpack opened, and Silver popped her head out. Looking around, she screamed slightly at the sight of Bulkhead, and ducked back into the area she was in.
"Hey, sweetspark, it's alright. Bulkhead is one of Auntie Luna's friends."
"Yeah, Si! We're practically siblings!"
At the mention of him being friends with Luna, she popped her head back out, and looked at Bulkhead. After a second of staring at his smiling face, she smiled as well, and jumped onto his shoulder.
The large mech laughed as she ran across his shoulders. Looking at Luna, he said, "I'm really liking these femmes of yours, Luna! Think they can join the Wreckers?"
"We gotta check with the others first." Springer replied, smiling as Silver finally calmed down and sat on Bulkhead's shoulder, waving around her slightly fluffy tail.
"Well, what're we waiting around here for?!" Bulkhead laughed as he started walking down the hall, and said to the others, "Come on! They're currently in the lounge!"
The femmes smiled, and eagerly followed the three Wreckers to the lounge.
As soon as they walked into the lounge, they were greeted by the site of the black Predacon Rosalina had found on the battlefield. Hearing the door open and several loud footsteps, he onlined his optics and looked over. When he caught site of Rose, he ran out from underneath the table he was hiding under, and ran towards the femme Prime.
It wasn't until the last second that the group noticed the soundless dragon, but by that point he had already jumped onto Rose's chest.
She laughed, and said, "Yes, hi to you too! My gosh, you've taken a shine to me, haven't you?"
The Predacon nodded his head, and started to snuggle it into the nook of her chin and neck.
"You need a name. How about... Ark?"
The Predacon nodded eagerly, showing that he liked that idea.
As they watched, Bulkhead muttered, "I was wondering what it was doing here..."
The black dragon jumped off of Rose, and she stood up as a blue femme with pink highlights walked up to the group, asking, "Hey, Luna, who're the new femmes?"
Smiling eagerly, she said, "It's the femmes I told you guys about, Arcee! Once we find the others, I'll introduce all of you!"
Arcee, who also looked like the Transformers Prime version of herself, smiled as she said, "Well, they're all over there, playing the new Smash Bros game on the Wii U."
They smiled, and walked over to the couch with the giant TV attached to a Wii U. On the sofa was Broadside, Topspin, Twin Twist, Roadbuster, and Whirl. From the looks of it, Whirl, Topspin and Twin Twist had already lost all of their lives, and it was just Broadside against Roadbuster, both of them on their final lives. Roadbuster was playing as Ike, while Broadside was Dark Pit. For a few more seconds, they just kept on hitting each other, bringing up the other's points, but Roadbuster managed to get in a lucky shot, knocking Dark Pit off the screen.
"BOOM!" Broadside yelled, standing up as the game showed the scores for the five players. Apparently, Topspin had been Lucario, Twin Twist was Bowser, and Whirl was Dr. Mario.
"Nice job, Roadbuster!" Bulkhead yelled, hitting his shoulder.
"Thanks, Bulky!" Broadside then noticed the other femmes that stood behind the large green Wrecker, and asked, "Hey, who're the newbies?"
Luna then excitedly introduced the new femmes to all of the Wreckers. Once she was finished, Whirl asked them, "So, since they're pretty much Luna's sparklings, does that mean they'll join?"
"I say that we have to find out if they can really help us out. After all, our roster goes down pretty quickly."
Arcee's optics lit up slightly, and she asked, "Hey, how about we give them a test?"
"What kind of a... test?" Rosalina asked, giving the blue and pink motorcycle femme an odd look.
"It should be easy for a Wrecker. You just need to prank a mech so badly, he glitches and doesn't come back on for the rest of the solar cycle. Also, you can't be caught, so this'll also require some stealth, which the Wreckers frankly need more of."
Ember's optics lit up behind her visor, and she asked, "Who's our victim?!"
The nine Wreckers shared a glance, smiled, and nodded their heads. Then, looking back at the new femmes, they said in perfect unison, "Sentinel Prime."
Dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUUUN!
What will the girls do to Sentinel? Will they pass the 'test'? Or will Sentinel find out, and try to harm all of them? I can't tell you, so why're you asking me?!
Anyways, I just prefer the Transformers Prime version of Arcee and Bulkhead over the other versions, and I'd like to pretend that Arcee would be one of the few Wrecker femmes, 'cause of how darn good she is.
So, by now everyone should know the OC X Springer and OC X Optimus. If not, I'm failing at my job T.T
Yeah... anyways, THIS IS IMPORTANT! LATER TODAY, I WILL BE MAKING A POLL ON MY... THINGIE! (Curse me and my failure to know what it's called...) THIS POLL WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR ONE OF THE FUTURE CHAPTERS! SO LOOK AT IT IF YOU WANT TO!
Luna: Don't give them an option, Alpha!
B-but... I'm not mean...
Ember: Suck it up and tell them that they have to do it!
No!
*Clears throat* Anyways, if you all could just look at the poll and tell me what you think, I would greatly appreciate it. That should be it! Next chapter, the femmes shall be pranking Sentinel! MUAHAHA!
Til All Are One,
- Alpha
