chapter 10
On beast planet Hot shot and Demolisher were investigate some strange happenings. They decided to start looking around and asking the bots what they knew about it. "One bot manage to escape from whatever is taking him and the others," one of them said. "his name is Backstop," he said.
"Where can we find Backstop?" Hot shot asked.
"You will find him in a cave at the foot of that mountain," the bot said pointing.
"Thank you," Hot shot shot said.
Hot shot and Demolisher headed off that way and saw an old bot leaving a cave. It must be Backstop. Hot shot and Demolisher came up to him.
"Excuse me are you Backstop?" Demolisher asked.
The old bot looked at them and nodded his head. "Yes I am Backstop what do you two young bots need?" Backstop asked.
"We want to know what was taking the bots on beast planet one of the locals said you saw it," Hot shot said.
"Yes I did," Backstop said. "It was bot with a strange look he seem to have control over my limbs like he was taking me some where that night, I saw he was about to lead me under the ground and I saw the three quarter moon which I thought would be my last look of the outside. Then suddenly the sun started to rise. I found it easier to fight that bots control it's seems his powers are stronger at night and week during the day." He said. "So I got out of there as fast as I could," he said.
"Can you tell us what this bot looked like?" Hot shot asked.
"Sure thing," Backstop said. "He was a tall fella, but not much taller than big one of ya, and he was slim, and he had bright purple optics, and on his forehead was this mark the look like a big X, and a symbol on his chest that looked like this," he said drawing a picture.
Hot shot and Demolisher knew who Backstop was describing. "Cutter," Hot shot said.
"Who is Cutter?" Backstop asked.
"He's a Conquerdriods an enemy of Autobots and Decepticons alike. It seems he's here on beast planet no doubt to probably take some of it's best fighters and warriors to no doubt increase their own troops," Demolisher said.
"That is what I am afraid of," Hot shot said.
"Well we better tell Scourge about this," Backstop said.
"Backstop tell where this underground place is we will free the trapped bots, can you go tell Scourge?" Hot shot said.
"Sure thing," Backstop said. "The underground place is over that way," he said pointing.
"Thank you," Hot shot said.
"Let's go," Demolisher said.
Hot shot and Demolisher took off and Backstop went to warn Scourge.
They started to search and they found a tunnel and they went into it and they found many bots locked up. "Help us," they said.
"Hang on," Hot shot said and he found the keys. He unlocked them.
"Did you see where the bot who put you in here went?" Demolisher asked.
"He went out to get more bots," said one of the bots.
"We better get moving then," Hot shot said.
They headed out and noticed that night was beginning to fall and they saw Cutter guiding a bot to the tunnel. "Cutter stop this right now," Hot shot said.
"Oh look who it is, Hot shot and Demolisher," Cutter said. "I will have no trouble handling you both myself." he said and attack with the bot he was controlling.
Hot shot and Demolisher were being very careful to not hurt the bot Cutter was controlling.
Not to hurt a bot that Cutter the Conquerdriod was controlling at the moment was not an easy task. They were being as careful as they could. It was going to be hours before the sun came up.
Just then Scourge appeared with Backstop. "I thought you might need some help," Scourge said.
"Perfect timing Scourge," Demolisher said. "We have to be careful not to hurt the bot Cutter is controlling." he said.
The fight continued for a while and soon the sun started to peak over the horizon. Cutter was loosing control and Hot shot knocked him to the ground. "Get out of here Cutter and I don't want to catch you doing this again," Hot shot said.
"I will see you again on earth next time you won't be so lucky!" Cutter said retreating.
"Man that guy burns me up," Hot shot said. "Is everyone alright?" he asked turning to them.
"Yes we are all okay thanks to you," they said.
"I am grateful to you two for helping them," Scourge said. "Soarwind front and center," he said.
"Yes sir," Soarwind said.
"Soarwind I want you to go with these two bots and help the Autobots and Decepticons defend the earth from the Conquerdriods call on us if needed okay," Scourge said.
"I understand," Soarwind said.
"We better tell the others we are bringing a new friend." Hot shot said.
They made back to the base and everyone greeted and Hot shot and Demolisher and they welcomed Soarwind.
Meanwhile at the Conquerdriod base Cutter was not happy his mission failed. "Cutter I can't believe you failed," Maim said.
"Maim how was I to know that the Autobots and Decepticons would send bots in to stop me?" Cutter asked.
"Maim and Cutter I am detecting something it a message from deep space, he says he returning," Trapper said.
"Our leader is back," Maim said smirking.
Meanwhile in deep space.
"Conquerdriods I have returned." Conquortrone said.
